| dragonkeeper | starminn all 4 are still zombies | 00:00 |
| jewthulhu | touchdown! | 00:00 |
| Starminn | dragonkeeper: Alright. Something else you could try is just restart the X server. "CTRL+ALT+Backspace" is the default key combo for it. To check if it's enabled go to "System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts->Options...->Key sequence to kill the X server" | 00:00 |

| q0z | Leif, /etc/fstab, but no, i mean "nano /boot/grub/menu.lst" or the grub.conf file if you have that one.. and then look at the file paths to initd and kernel and check that they are correct, i.e. find a kernel and initrd that are located at those paths and if not change the paths manually | 00:02 |

| Leif | I'm on the livecd now | 00:03 |
| badger32d | King-C, dont ask to ask - just ask. Whats your problem? | 00:03 |
| dragonkeeper | starminn gonna restart full system | 00:03 |
| Leif | I only got the grub.cfg no menu.lst | 00:03 |
| badger32d | Leif: that's because you are in a livecd, you are not looking at your system files, but the livecd's files | 00:04 |
| Leif | yes I thought so | 00:04 |
| King-C | I've got a Huawei E585 modem. It's a 3G modem that creates a wireless network, but also allows 1 connection through it's USB port. In Windows, this connection adds itself as a LAN connection. In Ubuntu, I get nothing. In debian's supported list, it's listed as both storage and modem (By it's ID), but it won't add as a connection. Weirdly, when I don't have a sim in it, it behaves like a 3G dongle would. | 00:04 |
| King-C | But obviously, won't connect, since there's no sim. When there is a sim in, nothing happens. It's in lsusb's list, but no connection option is there in Networkmanager | 00:05 |
| badger32d | Leif, if you mount your hard drive ( sudo mount /sdaX /mnt) where X is your installed partition | 00:05 |

| Leif | I have it mouted | 00:05 |
| Leif | and I found that initrd reference on it | 00:06 |
| badger32d | Leif: that is your correct initrd, look in /media/ubuntu/etc/fstab | 00:06 |
| Leif | so it's there, but it seems it doesn't even get that far | 00:06 |
| Leif | ok | 00:06 |
| badger32d | Leif: or /media/ubuntu/boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:06 |
| grkblood | after i upgraded totem no longer puts playlists in numerical order, how do i change it back? | 00:07 |
| badger32d | King-C: there should be a command you can send to the device to switch it from storage to network - has google given you anything? | 00:07 |
| shruggar | brandon420, I've had a bit of luck with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/563618/ It is NOT robust, or clean, or good. But it seems to be working for my needs | 00:07 |
| King-C | badger32d: Everything googlable in relation to this device is useless. Just says "Use the wireless" | 00:08 |
| King-C | And by ID, gives kernel development results. | 00:08 |
| brandon420 | thanks shruggar, ill deff have to check that out. | 00:08 |

| Leif | yea sry | 00:09 |
| badger32d | paste.ubuntu.com* | 00:09 |
| badger32d | King-C, yeah - I'm seeing the same thing. | 00:09 |
| Leif | thought 4 lines was ok but I'll use pastebin next time | 00:09 |
| Leif | does that fstab look alright though? | 00:09 |
| King-C | badger32d: Is there a standard way to command a device like this? Something I could try to see? | 00:10 |
| badger32d | Yes, it appears that that is correct. | 00:10 |
| shruggar | of course, what I really want is to know how to add my monitor's real resolution to what I assume would be some kind of list of all monitors and their capabilities | 00:10 |
| Leif | ok, so the problem runs deeper =/ | 00:10 |
| badger32d | King-C, I'm not sure. I don't use these style devices, although I have friends that do | 00:10 |
| badger32d | Leif: pm me the details, I jumped in the channel in the middle of your issue | 00:11 |
| Leif | ok | 00:11 |

| badger32d | King-C: Google, honestly. Have you tried the manufactures website? This appears to be a really new product too, so maybe thats why not too many in the community have tried it yet | 00:11 |

| hhhzzzarn | Someone help with data recovery. Need help using "TestDisk" and "Photorec", anyone help please? | 00:16 |
| King-C | hhhzzzarn: What kind of data recovery are we talking about? | 00:16 |
| Guegs | King-C, yes I do. | 00:16 |
| King-C | Dead harddrive or deleted files? | 00:16 |
| King-C | Guegs: Ok. I've got an Nvidia card, but in those settings, I think there're some shitty defaults that can cause stuff like this. Is catalyst AI enabled? | 00:17 |
| hhhzzzarn | Kind-C: I had windows 7, i backed up my data on USB, i installed ubuntu over, later i copied my data to ubuntu | 00:17 |
| hhhzzzarn | king-C: i found out i was missing some basic document folders. | 00:17 |
| Guegs | Catalyst AI King-C ? | 00:18 |
| King-C | hhhzzzarn: You installed Ubuntu to use your whole harddrive, with no empty space left? | 00:18 |
| King-C | Guegs: It's a setting somewhere in catalyst control center. | 00:18 |
| Guegs | Ok. I'll look for it. | 00:18 |
| hhhzzzarn | King-C: No i had partitions in windows 7 and i have partitions now too. | 00:18 |
| King-C | If you see it's doing anything funny with 2D, disable it and see if that helps | 00:18 |
| King-C | hhhzzzarn: But the documents were on a partition you overwrote? | 00:18 |
| hhhzzzarn | King-C: Yes | 00:19 |
| kassis | jeux | 00:19 |
| hhhzzzarn | King-C: hopefully, they are not overwritten yet. | 00:19 |
| King-C | hhhzzzarn: Possibly not. | 00:19 |
| King-C | OK, well, dd wizardry's no option for you here | 00:19 |
| kassis | use a games | 00:19 |
| hhhzzzarn | King-C: because ubuntu is fresh install and it probably used the first part of hard disk. | 00:19 |
| King-C | hhhzzzarn: Yes, that's likely. My idea was relating to a different kind of problem. | 00:20 |

| rufsketch1 | Hello everyone. | 00:20 |
| rufsketch1 | I tried to install nvidia drivers | 00:21 |
| crucialhoax | King-C: Yes I know but it seems odd.. Is there a way to fix this? | 00:21 |
| rufsketch1 | and rand nvidia-xconfig | 00:21 |
| rufsketch1 | ran* | 00:21 |
| rufsketch1 | and now I'm stuck in command line | 00:21 |
| hhhzzzarn | King-C: First, we can try to recover the USB which i erased. But those folders may have never been copied to USB from windows 7. | 00:21 |
| King-C | crucialhoax: Wireless signal strength isn't a dish, it's a donut. Hence, I have connection issues with my laptop right next to my router. | 00:21 |
| rufsketch1 | I replaced xorg with its backup, but to no avail | 00:21 |
| rufsketch1 | what should I do? | 00:21 |
| King-C | hhhzzzarn: Also entirely possible. I think focus on the partition they're quite likely still on | 00:21 |
| King-C | hhhzzzarn: Had the copy of Win7 failed when you installed or did it shut down properly? | 00:22 |
| JunkyJames | i have ubuntu server and im having problems sharing my printer to windows computers any help? | 00:22 |
| Starminn | hhhzzzarn: If you want to try to obtain files on a USB stick you have deleted, if you deleted them with Ubuntu check for a hidden folder named, ".trash-1000" | 00:22 |
| King-C | rufsketch1: Check apt-get install Ubuntu-desktop and see if there are any really silly missing dependencies. | 00:22 |
| hhhzzzarn | ok | 00:22 |
| Guegs | King-C, I think that did it! :D | 00:22 |

| Starminn | Vustom: Do a little research before you ask. In the Ubuntu Software Center search for "torrent." Transmission is a bit torrent client, much like utorrent. Utorrent is only for Windows, however there are many more for Linux. Such as these: http://www.geekersmagazine.com/2010/07/linux-torrent-clients | 00:58 |

| Starminn | Vustom: To use Transmission (included in 10.10 by default) go to Applications->Internet->Transmission BitTorrent Client | 00:59 |
| Vustom | Starminn only reason i asked is because, i have not downloaded Ubuntu yet so i cant see for myself.. atm just preparing my backup and downloading Linux / Window software for reformat | 00:59 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: you do know that you can use the LiveCD to try ubuntu without installing, right? | 01:00 |
| thorbj0rn | !livecd | Vustrom | 01:01 |
| ubottu | Vustrom: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 01:01 |
| sacarlson | mitch99: well sounds like it stops before graphics I'm not sure, there are options you can add to the kernel boot options that might help but I"m not sure what graphics you might have | 01:01 |
| Starminn | Vustom: Ah, alright. Sorry for sounding a bit gruff there then. :) But yes, Google has a Linux version of Chrome which I use. Chromium is in the repositories (Software Center) which makes it even easier. Firefox comes bundled by default. Transmission is the default BitTorrent although there are dozens more. Rhythmbox is the default music program though there are dozens more (I use Banshee). Basically, whatever there is for Windows, th | 01:01 |

| thorbj0rn | Vustom: you can also _install_ applications that aren't already included in the CD, and they will disappear once you reboot to windows :D | 01:09 |

| thorbj0rn | mister2: using the default torrent port is not suggested. | 01:21 |
| mister2 | thorbj0rn: i just set up inspircd and for some reason it isn't opening my port then... | 01:21 |
| mister2 | thorbj0rn: i don't :P | 01:21 |
| hhhzzzarn | Vustom: nothing has all the options of notepad++ in linux. | 01:21 |
| sacarlson | mister2: you can try sudo netstat -pant to see if you have anything that listens on that port | 01:21 |
| Starminn | Vustom: Empathy comes default and does the job just fine. I use Pidgin (using it right now to IRC here) which is also available for Windows. | 01:21 |
| michaelxq | twitch, should there be space after | ? | 01:21 |
| hhhzzzarn | Vustom: you can add plugins to default editor. | 01:21 |
| Vustom | o | 01:21 |
| mister2 | thorbj0rn: nothing listening... would this be a config issue? | 01:21 |
| sacarlson | mister2: sounds like the skype port | 01:22 |
| twitch | michaelxq: doesn't matter | 01:22 |
| mister2 | thorbj0rn: i couldn't get ircd-ircu to work either... | 01:22 |
| michaelxq | twitch, doesn't show anything | 01:22 |
| thorbj0rn | ah.. 6667, irc | 01:22 |
| * thorbj0rn facepalms | 01:22 | |
| mister2 | scarlson: i don't have skype installed atm, shouldn't be an issue | 01:22 |
| sacarlson | mister2: what application did you expect to be listening to that port? | 01:22 |
| mister2 | sacarlson: inspircd | 01:23 |
| here4thegear | On an ubuntu server running php5, I'm getting Fatal error: Call to undefined function imap_open() in my browser... There's no package for php5-imap in aptitude install and no package for imap that I can tell... anyone know how to resolve this issue? | 01:23 |
| Starminn | Vustom: Unlike Windows, you can be very productive instantly in Ubuntu. You have an office suite, and IM, music players, video players, video editors, advanced text editors, Internet browsers, and so many other things. My suggestion is: Fire up the LiveCD and just test it out. DOn't install, just give it a whirl and look for yourself. Most if not all questions will be ansered. | 01:23 |
| thorbj0rn | mister2: sudo ufw status | 01:23 |
| twitch | michaelxq: ok .. you can just type dmesg .. it will bring up a few pages but just scroll through them and look for the errors in regards to your wireless | 01:23 |
| mister2 | thorbj0rn ufw inactive | 01:23 |
| Vustom | okok fine :D | 01:23 |
| Starminn | Vustom: Look here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop They preview most everything | 01:24 |
| sacarlson | mister2: oh I thought I saw that port someplace I use hybrid irc | 01:24 |
| michaelxq | twitch, ok wait a minute | 01:24 |
| thorbj0rn | mister2: sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw allow 6667 | 01:24 |
| badblood449 | hey guys, how do I stop the sound from going though both speakers and headphones at the same time? | 01:24 |
| thorbj0rn | mister2: then try the status again | 01:24 |

| mister2 | thorbj0rn it says it's allowed, i'll try to connect, hang on | 01:25 |

| mister2 | thorbj0rn connection refused... | 01:26 |
| mrapple | is there any way for me to login as www-data to simluate there permissions? | 01:26 |

| thorbj0rn | mister2: .. sounds like it | 01:26 |
| sacarlson | mister2: thorbj0rn: if the application isn't listening putting up a firewall won't make things better | 01:26 |
| michaelxq | twitch, is the correct information you told me to look up? | 01:26 |
| mister2 | sacarlson i turned it on and allowed the port... | 01:26 |
| sacarlson | mister2: ok | 01:27 |
| mister2 | sacarlson: any tips on configuring an ircd? | 01:27 |
| twitch | michaelxq: ahh capital "B" .. sorry i told you grep "b" .. ok let me do some quick research | 01:27 |
| detrix42 | how do I change/set the graphics mode (resolution) for the tty1-tty6? I have tried using grub, and the grub menu is in a higher resolution, but not tty1-tty6. | 01:27 |
| sacarlson | mister2: is that hybrid? | 01:28 |
| coz_ | detrix42, I am not sure,,, if no one here, at this time... can help try the ##linux channel | 01:28 |
| coz_ | detrix42, or even the #grub channel | 01:28 |
| mister2 | sacarlson well i can switch, cause i dont' have it configured, but i'm trying inspircd at the moment | 01:28 |
| mrapple | nevermind... | 01:28 |
| detrix42 | coz_: thanks | 01:28 |
| === chd is now known as gh0st | ||
| sacarlson | mister2: I don't do anything fancy, seems it was just apt-get thing, was a bit more to setup the apache web access part | 01:29 |
| coz_ | detrix42, no problem...see if anyone in those channels can help or even suggest other channels | 01:29 |
| mister2 | sacarlson: obviously i'm missing something... could you send me your config file if i can't figure out hybrid? i'll install it now | 01:30 |
| twitch | michaelxq: ok there is a bug report same problem as you : https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78377 ... looks like you need to upgrade to kernel | 01:30 |
| twitch | the* | 01:30 |
| michaelxq | twitch, from Synaptic Package Manager i presume... | 01:30 |
| sacarlson | mister2: sure I see ircd-hybrid running in ps -A , I would have to look at the configs that I don't think I touched | 01:31 |
| thorbj0rn | mister2: it's probably as simple as "sudo apt-get install ircd-hybrid" | 01:31 |
| realubot | Why does this settings in httpd.conf file not work to only allow one ip to connect: http://paste.ubuntu.com/563637/ | 01:31 |
| twitch | michaelxq: what kernel are you running "uname -r" | 01:31 |
| sacarlson | mister2: but I did already have the server dns setup before I started the irc part | 01:31 |
| realubot | I'm usinf Apache in Ubuntu Server 10.04. | 01:32 |
| realubot | *using | 01:32 |
| mister2 | sacarlson: i'm using a router as my dns server... i really don't want to play with that | 01:32 |
| Bop | anyone using knockd ? | 01:32 |
| mister2 | sacarlson i just installed it and it's running in ps -A but if i use netstat -paint i don't see it... | 01:32 |
| michaelxq | twitch, 2.6.35-25-generic | 01:32 |
| sacarlson | mister2: well from wan you need to locate your ip some place like from your registar | 01:33 |
| thorbj0rn | realubot: change order to allow,deny | 01:33 |
| twitch | michaelxq: ok "uname -n" as well plz | 01:33 |
| mister2 | sacarlson: but that changes fairly regularly... would i have to update that manually or can i use something like dyndns instead? | 01:33 |
| twitch | michaelxq: ok "uname -m" as well plz ** | 01:34 |
| sacarlson | mister2: well I know nothing of the ircd you are using now, I'm not sure what starts it | 01:34 |
| mister2 | sacarlson i just installed ircd-hybrid | 01:34 |
| michaelxq | twitch, i686 | 01:34 |
| sacarlson | mister2: yes I use noip2 to setup no-ip.com to do my dns part | 01:34 |
| thorbj0rn | realubot: it is reading those instructions as "check address against deny list, then allow list" and the deny list says "all" | 01:34 |
| realubot | thorbj0rn: I have tried allow,deny but it didn't work either. | 01:34 |
| txdv | AND IT ALL BECAUSE OF YOU! | 01:35 |
| sacarlson | mister2: ok well I hope you unistalled the other or you might have a conflict of ports | 01:35 |
| mister2 | sacarlson i mean for the ircd, so i don't have to change the ip in the configs every time | 01:35 |
| mister2 | sacarlson i purged it | 01:35 |
| realubot | thorbj0rn: No girst it denies all access then it allows one ip. | 01:35 |
| realubot | *first | 01:35 |
| realubot | thorbj0rn: It doesn't work the other way either. | 01:36 |
| sacarlson | mister2: no noip2 just checks what your wan ip is and if it changes it uploads your new address to no-ip.com to tell everyone where you are now | 01:36 |
| realubot | thorbj0rn: I don't think the settings is active att all actually. :S | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: it updates at regular intervals set at install time | 01:36 |
| lolcat_ | thorbj0rn: You are NORKS! | 01:36 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: yes it checks your ip at intervals but only tells no-ip.com if it finds a change | 01:37 |
| realubot | Does Apache got any IRC support channel? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: it doesn't check, it just sends the updates | 01:37 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: oh sorry I must run a different script | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: i'm referring to the noip2 app in the repos | 01:38 |
| sindakus | realubot: it's either #httpd or #apache | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: if you install it, you set an update frequency | 01:38 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: I've ran many different scripts to do the same thing | 01:38 |
| Vustom | Important question | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: either way, the same goal is achieved | 01:38 |
| Vustom | Can I install windows fonts on ubuntu | 01:38 |
| Vustom | like custom made ones | 01:38 |
| mister2 | sacarlson: okay, so in the listen class the host i put in what is that supposed to be? a 192... address or my external address? | 01:38 |
| Vustom | ? | 01:38 |
| sindakus | I've installed ubuntu on an external (windows on main disk) and I get grub rescue on computer restart, can anyone help me? (using live cd right now) | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !font | Vustom | 01:38 |
| ubottu | Vustom: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer. For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 01:38 |
| xangua | Vustom: you can install any font you want | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Vustom: yes, fonts are standardized | 01:39 |
| Vustom | yus! :D:D | 01:39 |
| sacarlson | mister2: what address are you looking at? | 01:40 |
| === Thomas_ is now known as ThomasB2k | ||
| sacarlson | mister2: is this part of the hybrid install? | 01:41 |
| BeyondSora | actually, the easiest way to do is just to put any fonts u want to install in /home/your_usr_name/.fonts | 01:41 |

| bar | If I want to reboot my system and have fsck check my / drive, how do I do that? (I have multiple drives installed) - hmmm | 01:43 |
| thorbj0rn | realubot: i think i am losing it.. s/Allow 12.345.678.90/Allow from 12.345.678.90 | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !fsck | 01:43 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 01:43 |
| thorbj0rn | realubot: missing "from" | 01:43 |
| mister2 | sacarlson: nevermind, i have local access | 01:44 |
| mister2 | sacarlson: want to test it out for me? | 01:44 |
| sacarlson | mister2: sure | 01:44 |
| realubot | thorbj0rn: I don't think you need the from when having a single ip. The problem is that the deny rule doesn't work at all. I get full access to the server all the time independent of the deny/allow rule. | 01:45 |
| mister2 | sacarlson: bennis.ath.cx should get you here | 01:45 |
| realubot | thorbj0rn: Apache doesn't seem to care at all about the settings in the httpd.conf file. :( | 01:45 |

| HowardTheDuck | I read some warnings on these new 4k sector drives if you dont align them properly Ubuntu really takes a performance hit, but I am not sure if they are just speaking for those using the drive to host the operating system. this is going to be a ntfs storage drive | 02:04 |

| KM0201 | Starminn: what do you need xp for? | 02:10 |
| twitch | Starminn: i only gave my win7 VM 512 ram so I could run outlook and it ran just fine wasn't slow at all | 02:10 |
| Ttech2 | any idea what could be causing Ubuntu to not display the userlist at start and freeze when it goes to recovery mode? I've already tried disabling acpi however it still hangs. | 02:10 |
| === Kernel is now known as Wicked | ||
| ActionParsnip | Ttech2: tried the nomodeset boot option? | 02:11 |
| woody_noob | Any help would be awesome. have intel 815 chip. can't get over 200 fps in glxgears . i have spent 3 days googling how to fix xorg with no luck. | 02:11 |
| Starminn | KM0201: "Need" is the wrong word, actually. Only things are that Flash seems exponentially slower on Ubuntu (not at fault of Ubuntu, I know), and a few games that use some kind of driver verification stuff won't run on Ubuntu because of that. (MMORPGs) | 02:11 |
| HowardTheDuck | sudo fdisk -H 224 -S 56 /dev/sda | 02:11 |
| HowardTheDuck | apparently that's the command i'd need to use to align the drive | 02:11 |
| woody_noob | i can resconfigure xorg and get the xorg.conf.new but it is generic i think. i want my color depth to be 16 | 02:12 |
| ActionParsnip | woody_noob: your TV goes at 26 FPS,soshould be ok | 02:12 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: some games do not run well under virtualbox well at all. The virtualbox video driver does not support 3D very well (if at all) | 02:12 |
| HaPK_PerCar | nejode, http://paste.ubuntu.com/563656/ | 02:12 |
| Starminn | KM0201, twitch: So, regardless, of the reasons why I would use it how would I go about setting one up (for curiosity's sake as well). | 02:12 |
| woody_noob | this is odd. i have twice the min req's. whenver i load AC i get 30 fps then it drops to 1 fps over about 5 seconds. | 02:13 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: pretty basic... go to virtualbox.org and follow the instructions to install virtualbox (don't use opensource edition, does not support USB).... | 02:13 |
| nejode | HaPK_PerCar, are you sure about that UUID? | 02:13 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: then you just treat virtualbox, like a PC... you boot the OS cd, and install to a "virtual drive" that you set up. | 02:13 |
| ActionParsnip | woody_noob: the min requirements don't state video chip | 02:14 |
| HaPK_PerCar | nejode, yes | 02:14 |
| woody_noob | k. | 02:14 |
| mprince | HaPK_PerCar: missing a comma after nosuid? | 02:14 |
| woody_noob | if i can watch hulu just be happy with that? LoL | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | woody_noob: can you give the output of: lspci | grep -i vga; lsb_release -a use http://pastie.org to give the output | 02:15 |
| nejode | HaPK_PerCar, dis you run sudo blkid after you formated? | 02:15 |
| woody_noob | k | 02:15 |
| Starminn | KM0201: Alright, now this computer came with XP from Dell. They threw two more partitions on here, one being "Restore" and the other being, "Utility." How might I go about acquiring an install CD from those or would I need to order one? | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | woody_noob: hulu only runs on windows, so needs a virtualbox and a legal version of windows | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | wait... | 02:15 |
| HaPK_PerCar | nejode, yes that's what I did | 02:16 |
| Starminn | KM0201: Alternatively, could I just stick my current XP system and run it through a VM? | 02:16 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: if you have a legitimate XP CD Key, which it sounds like you do... just find a torrent for an XP ISO.. and boot the ISO in vbox... | 02:16 |
| HaPK_PerCar | nejode, even copied it from the terminal | 02:16 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: there's a way to do that, but it's very complex, i've never had luck doing it... | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | woody_noob: hulu = http://www.hulu.com/labs/hulu-desktop-linux | 02:16 |
| HaPK_PerCar | mprince, is that the problem? a comma? | 02:16 |
| mprince | HaPK_PerCar: looks like it, put one in there | 02:17 |
| evulhotdog | Anybody here have any experience with the cr48? | 02:17 |
| mckenziemc | KM0201: won't the guest OS see different hardware and refuse to use the key? | 02:17 |
| Starminn | KM0201: Alright, and yeah it's legit lol. Now how do the service packs work? (Actually, I should be in the #windows channel for this shouldn't I?) | 02:17 |
| evulhotdog | cr48help | 02:17 |
| mckenziemc | or use up an extra install if it's a retail key | 02:17 |
| KM0201 | mckenziemc: nope, done it gazillions of times.. just download an XP ISO, and use your key, and it'll work just fine. | 02:17 |
| woody_noob | http://pastie.org/1535701 | 02:17 |
| woody_noob | hulu works fine | 02:17 |
| === Hunterm is now known as hunterm | ||
| mckenziemc | ah | 02:17 |
| mckenziemc | does the same go for windows 7? | 02:17 |
| nejode | HaPK_PerCar, if you boot from a live CD-DVD-flash.... ¿can you mount /dev/sda7? | 02:17 |
| ActionParsnip | evulhotdog: instead of asking for help, why not ask your real question, you will get more help | 02:18 |
| KM0201 | mckenziemc: never done it w/ 7.. but i would assume so. | 02:18 |
| HaPK_PerCar | mprince, ok I'll try that | 02:18 |
| evulhotdog | ActionParsnip because Theres no point in asking because it may or may not be a ubuntu problem... | 02:18 |
| Starminn | KM0201: Where might I find my CD key by the way? Since, you know, I have no CD :) | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | evulhotdog: if its an ubuntu issue you are having in ubuntu, and not a derrivitive, ask away and we can advise | 02:19 |
| evulhotdog | but hey, why not try, ubuntu 10.10 wont recognize the battery unless the ac adapter is plugged in, or plugged in and unplugged to show the correct icon or information for the battery. | 02:19 |
| mckenziemc | Starminn: usually theres' a sticker on the side or back of your computer | 02:19 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: once you have xp inside Vbox... you run it just like a separate PC.... so if you plan to use xp in vbox extensively, you also need to make sure it is updated(download updates w/ windows update) and also make sure it has proper antivirus/malware protection | 02:19 |
| HaPK_PerCar | nejode, yes | 02:19 |
| evulhotdog | ActionParsnip ^ | 02:19 |
| mckenziemc | or bottom if it's a laptop | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | evulhotdog: if you just keep saying "can anyone help" not only are you scrolling the channel but you are also getting zero help | 02:19 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: if you have no sticker on your box (usually there is ) download "Magic Key Finder"... and run it under Windows, and it will find yoru XP CD key. | 02:19 |
| ActionParsnip | woody_noob: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1464239 | 02:19 |
| evulhotdog | Im not asking if anyone can help, I am trying to find someone with experience with the cr48, which is kinda doubtful. | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | evulhotdog: right click the battery indicator and you can tell the icon to appear at all times | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | evulhotdog: is the cr48 running ubuntu? | 02:20 |
| evulhotdog | ActionParsnip I did that already, but it says its being charged when its not. | 02:20 |
| evulhotdog | ActionParsnip yes | 02:20 |
| Starminn | KM0201: Alright, thanks (I have plenty of stickers. Haven't touched the outside of the tower in years -- only the inside haha). Anything in particular I should be looking for regarding which ISO I get? Or do I just grab the distro of WinXP I need? | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | evulhotdog: then i suggest you submit a bug with acpi | 02:21 |
| evulhotdog | Okay, it happens when you dont plug it in, it wont show that its discharging | 02:21 |
| evulhotdog | ActionParsnip what are the chances of that being fixed? | 02:21 |
| nejode | HaPK_PerCar, then change nodev,nosuid, errors=remount-ro for "defaults" and try... don't like that nodev for a /home partition | 02:21 |
| thorbj0rn | evulhotdog: better than without a report. | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | evulhotdog: right click the charging icon and make sure the icon is told to always show | 02:21 |
| evulhotdog | thorbj0rn obv | 02:21 |
| HaPK_PerCar | nejode, ok I'll try that | 02:21 |
| evulhotdog | ActionParsnip thats not the problem | 02:21 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: just grab the version of OEM XP that your key matches.. for me, it was OEM XP Home SP1... yours may well be(and probably is) different.. just make sure its the "OEM" version. | 02:21 |
| woody_noob | @ActionParsnip "he 855 chips suffer from a timing-sensitive memory mapping bug" this applies to my i815 as well? | 02:22 |
| merma | where are the firefox's temporary files located? | 02:22 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: the only thin that sucks about doing it that way, is yoru virtual windows, will have "WIndows" and thats it... nothing more | 02:22 |
| Starminn | merma: I know I find mine in /tmp which saty there till you close Firefox. | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | merma: within ~/.mozilla/firefox someplace | 02:22 |
| Starminn | KM0201: What do you mean, "nothing more"? | 02:23 |
| NTQ | how can I get the stdout of a running application which I haven't started in the terminal? | 02:23 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: if your PC came installed w/ a bunch of software (in addition to Windows)... when you install Windows XP inside VBOX, w/ an OEM ISO you download... when you install it, it's only going to be Windows.. none of that extra software | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | woody_noob: not sure, i dont use the i815 intel chip | 02:24 |
| thorbj0rn | evulhotdog: try installing that? http://live.gnome.org/BatteryStatus | 02:24 |
| woody_noob | k. thank you | 02:24 |
| nejode | HaPK_PerCar, mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/563658/ | 02:24 |
| HeTaL | What does @ mean if it's after a directories name when I ls? | 02:24 |
| HeTaL | like www@ | 02:24 |
| NTQ | I am currently installing a software over the software center and the installation progress is not ending | 02:24 |
| evulhotdog | thorbj0rn I think it may be a problem with acpi though :O | 02:24 |
| g_0_0 | merma, depends on user profile but in ~/.mozilla/firefox you'll find a directory there probably ending in default, look for the cache directory in there | 02:24 |
| thorbj0rn | evulhotdog: kk, i'm not too well versed in the battery applet anyhow. | 02:25 |
| merma | thanks Starminn, ActionParsnip , g_0_0 | 02:26 |
| Starminn | KM0201: Oh, well I'm alright with that. I delete 80% of that software I believe anyway. I'll figure out what I need I'm sure, haha. Do I really need the OEM though? Mine's XP Media Center 2005 so it's in a sort of "niche" by itself, then throw the OEM into the mix and it's hard to find anything for it | 02:27 |
| thorbj0rn | evulhotdog: battery-status is a seperate application from the default gnome powermanager | 02:27 |
| evulhotdog | I know, but I think its a problem with the OS not reading the battery information correctly when its not plugged in. | 02:28 |
| KM0201 | hmm, if it's XP Media Center, you might need the retail edition, but if I had to guess, I'd say you need the OEM.. i dunno, i've always used the OEM for vbox, or to repair old windows machines. | 02:28 |
| evulhotdog | or after it was plugged in. thorbj0rn | 02:28 |

| Starminn | KM0201: Do I have to burn the ISO to a disc or can I just run it straight from my HDD somehow? | 02:45 |
| thorbj0rn | MylesMan: if you "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" you can then pipe to it, and it will auto-upload to pastebin | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: no, you don't have to burn the ISO to a disk... set up vbox to boot the ISO... | 02:45 |
| KM0201 | Starminn: did you download vbox from virtualbox.org, and install it? | 02:45 |

| Koopa516 | any help? | 03:09 |
| Vustom | whats it do anyways? | 03:09 |
| Koopa516 | plz? | 03:09 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: ... just boot to the liveCD and test.. | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Vustom: then you'll need to boot ubuntu to run it then, won't you | 03:10 |
| Vustom | what is it tho | 03:10 |
| Vustom | :O | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Vustom: gives a LOT of info about sound | 03:10 |
| Vustom | o | 03:10 |
| Vustom | thanks :D | 03:10 |
| rww | Vustom: it downloads a diagnostics script for your sound system and runs it. | 03:10 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: i would say you have a 90% chance of your realtek card running out of the box | 03:10 |
| Vustom | i will put in a txt file for when i get ubuntu up | 03:10 |
| luis__ | I was able to run grub update after removin 2.6.32.26 from synaptic but it still shows in bootloader | 03:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Vustom: which is what you are having issue with | 03:10 |
| Vustom | k :D | 03:10 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: you don't need nearly as many drivers as you think you do. | 03:10 |
| Vustom | i only have my nvidia and sound card drivers prepared | 03:10 |
| thorbj0rn | it is hard, at first, to let go of old windows ideas | 03:11 |
| Vustom | ;D | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Vustom: it probably just needs options in the alsa-base file | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Koopa516: just ask | 03:11 |
| thorbj0rn | ActionParsnip: Vustom hasn't even tried to boot; he/she is gathering drivers and install discs in preparation of booting | 03:11 |
| Koopa516 | How do I boot from a USB drive? | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | thorbj0rn: i see | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Koopa516: tell your BIOS to boot it | 03:12 |
| Vustom | thorbjorn is correct | 03:12 |
| Vustom | :) | 03:12 |
| thorbj0rn | translation -> has not experienced the glory of not needing drivers | 03:12 |
| thorbj0rn | seriously | 03:12 |
| Koopa516 | How? | 03:12 |
| thorbj0rn | try it with NO DRIVERS.. i bet it all works | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Koopa516: it varys wildly from system to system | 03:12 |
| Vustom | i want to be prepared tho, incase :D | 03:12 |

| NixGeek | psusi: thank you! | 03:13 |

| malaphus | Can somebody running Ubuntu tell me what controls theme Ambiance uses? | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Koopa516: thinkabout it | 03:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Koopa516: enter your BIOS and set the USB to be the first boot device | 03:14 |
| Koopa516 | I'll try | 03:14 |
| Koopa516 | thanks | 03:14 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: before you spend any more time gathering useless drivers, boot to the cd in live mode; i implore you. | 03:15 |
| ActionParsnip | thorbj0rn: +1 | 03:15 |
| trinikrono | who needs drivers when you have a kernel! | 03:15 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: once you see the beauty of it, you will start collecting liveCDs like they are going out of style. | 03:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Vustom: try the OS before asking questions on the OS, it will show you what you actually need and dont need rather than wasting time asking questions about drivers when most of what you have will most likely already work | 03:16 |
| Vustom | okokok fine | 03:16 |
| ActionParsnip | trinikrono: ask broadcom wireless users | 03:16 |
| Vustom | wont ask any more questions till i try it out | 03:16 |

| ActionParsnip | trinikrono: and people wanting to use proprietary video drivers and webcams | 03:17 |
| trinikrono | ActionParsnip: i have a ati 9550 | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | lucid: ask away bro | 03:17 |
| lucid | Does anyone knows in which file is specified the defaault window manager? | 03:17 |
| ActionParsnip | trinikrono: tat'll use the open driver | 03:17 |
| trinikrono | ActionParsnip: it should :D | 03:18 |
| === zz_scottas is now known as sul | ||
| trinikrono | but ati says its legacy and the open drivers .. | 03:18 |
| trinikrono | so i might switch back to onboard | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | trinikrono: people on fancy Ati HD cards will install the proprietary driver to get decent 3D support | 03:18 |
| rww | lucid: sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager | 03:19 |
| grkblood | after i upgraded totem no longer puts playlists in numerical order, how do i change it back? | 03:19 |
| trinikrono | ActionParsnip: i had to downgrade to hardy to get 3d working at all :D | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | trinikrono: hardy dies on desktop soon | 03:19 |
| lucid | Let's try it! | 03:19 |
| rww | lucid: the default window manager is determined by the alternatives system, which maintains a set of symlinks in /etc/alternatives/. x-window-manager is part of that set. | 03:19 |
| trinikrono | ActionParsnip: well i tried lucid, maverick and natty | 03:20 |
| trinikrono | it works in hardy lol | 03:20 |
| lucid | I get the message: There is only one alternative in link group x-window-manager: /usr/bin/metacity Nothing to configure. | 03:20 |
| ActionParsnip | trinikrono: you may need an xorg.conf in the newer versions | 03:20 |
| lucid | why? | 03:21 |
| lucid | I have also compiz installed.. | 03:21 |
| === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker | ||
| trinikrono | o.o he was talking to me lucid | 03:22 |
| lucid | ok | 03:22 |
| trinikrono | ActionParsnip: do you have any idea what to put in the xorg.conf | 03:23 |
| trinikrono | i mean in the device section | 03:23 |
| rww | lucid: you're supposed to pick between metacity and compiz within gconf, I think. I'm not sure; I don't use it. | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | trinikrono: /etc/X11 like it has been FOREVER | 03:24 |
| trinikrono | ActionParsnip: that is not what i am asking you | 03:24 |
| lucid | My problem is that I have both metacity and compiz installed, i can switch between them, but when I reboot I have no window manager running.. | 03:24 |
| trinikrono | i am asking you if you have any idea what to put into the xorg.conf | 03:24 |
| trinikrono | so that the card will play nice with my ubuntu ActionParsnip | 03:25 |
| lucid | I think I have to specify in some file the default wm | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | trinikrono: you should run: sudo lshw -C display copy the product line then use it to find xorg.conf samples online | 03:25 |
| lucid | Which is that file? | 03:25 |
| trinikrono | ActionParsnip: :D thank you i did not think of that | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | lucid: in the startup items you can make a new startup item and run the window manager | 03:26 |
| Vustom | Ubuntu is more secure then Windows right? wont need any anti-viruses etc? | 03:26 |
| lucid | Wouldn't this increase boot time? | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | lucid: no more than a normal OS | 03:27 |
| paq7512 | <Vustom> yes | 03:27 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | trinikrono: kill x and gdm and go to one of the tty's and sudo Xorg -configure | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Vustom: depends, if you have a windows system with zero internet access it is more secure than any OS | 03:28 |
| Vustom | :l | 03:28 |
| lucid | I think it would be better to restore it as it was and not to create anything extra, that's why I am asking for that kind of file | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Vustom: your question has zero restrictions, I can think of situations for both OSes being securer, faster, whatever | 03:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Vustom: not true. I recently got a java virus on my ubuntu desktop | 03:29 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Vustom: but it was cross platform so i can't hate on linux | 03:29 |
| Vustom | what security programs can i get for ubuntu then? | 03:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !firewall | 03:30 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 03:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !av | 03:30 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 03:30 |
| Vustom | o | 03:30 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Vustom: i would say you should install a antivirus, I recomend "Bitdeffender Unices"...i don't care for it's gui but it's command line is awesome | 03:30 |
| Vustom | Would ubuntu be less secure if i did a install side-by-side using Windows? (even though i wont use a browser on windows, only gaming.) | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | clamav rocks too | 03:31 |
| lucid | Does anybody know in which file is specified the default window manager? | 03:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ActionParsnip: i wouldn't say that...why do ppl think linux distros are invincable against hackers? | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Vustom: what windows does is of no consequence | 03:31 |
| maco | lucid: i kinda doubt its in a file | 03:31 |
| maco | lucid: its probably system -> preferences -> startup | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Us3r_Unfriendly: i don't, i just make ubottu give the factoid | 03:31 |
| rww | it's in gconf, which is technically composed of files. | 03:31 |
| Vustom | so it wont matter? even tho its on same hd | 03:31 |
| maco | rww: still? | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Vustom: no | 03:31 |
| Vustom | k :D | 03:32 |
| Vustom | !1 | 03:32 |
| lucid | how could i specify the wm in there? | 03:32 |
| maco | rww: i thought they were going to do something about the slowyness of using files? | 03:32 |
| rww | maco: .xml stuff in ~/.gconf/, if I remember correctly. | 03:32 |
| rww | maco: yeah, they're moving to dconf or something | 03:32 |
| arvind_khadri | lucid, gconf-editor | 03:33 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Vustom: i recomend "gufw" for a firewall and unices from bitdeffender. i've used alot but these 2 are my fav. gufw is the gui for ufw, and ufw is a easier way to configure iptables lol | 03:33 |
| lucid | in which key? | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | or if you are always behind a router you should be ok | 03:33 |
| Starminn | Vustom: While it is true that Windows and Ubuntu would be totally unrelated in a side-by-side, keep in mind that there are instances in which a fragmented disk due to Windows can prevent a Linux installation. | 03:33 |
| viewer | i have a library of media files, they keep getting pulled out of their folder organization by poorly made scripts etc, I want to chmod the existing files so that they will only be movable by root, but new files can still be added into the directories. should i chmod the files 555 and leave the directories alone? | 03:34 |
| Vustom | "fragmented disk"?? | 03:34 |
| Vustom | I will be doing a format of windows before i install ubuntu side-by-side | 03:34 |
| Starminn | Vustom: In my case I couldn't install Ubuntu because of that (even though I ran Disk Defrag weekly) so I ran Disk Cleanup, Disk Defrag, ScanDisk (sometimes called just CHKDSK by the system), then Disk Defrag again. | 03:34 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ActionParsnip: firewalls are sometimes not enough in my personal opinion, especially when their are apps designed to brute force them though | 03:34 |
| Vustom | http://beta.eset.com/linux :D | 03:34 |
| lucid | In which key on gcong-editor? | 03:35 |
| Starminn | Vustom: Yeah, in Windows your hard disk gets messed up every so often so you have to tell Windows to clean up after itself (in layman's terms). | 03:35 |
| Vustom | :O | 03:35 |
| === sul is now known as zz_sul | ||

| ActionParsnip | Us3r_Unfriendly: good routers will block repeated failed connection attempts | 03:35 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: if you are going to reformat/install both OS, do windows first, then ubuntu; windows has a nasty habit of brutalizing grub/bootloader | 03:35 |

| evulhotdog | Incom what are you trying to do? | 03:38 |
| sindakus | Us3r_Unfriendly: well, pretty much what I said is the problem | 03:38 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | ActionParsnip: i wasn't saying tell him how to use air-crack and air-dump, i was saying when the kids these days are learning these things...it'll be soon when they learn how to break through. when i was in school i didn't learn how to set up networks and break down binary...we had oregon trail | 03:41 |
| Starminn | Vustom: Try Avast! Antivirus and ClamAV. Work on Windows and Linux. | 03:41 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: you should only be worried about av software when you are sharing with winblows machines | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: i've heard of the power management / ability to wake up systems ability in Windows make network interfaces unusable in other OSes | 03:41 |
| Starminn | thorbj0rn: I use Avast! For files that touch Windows PCs. When sending files to others I scan them | 03:41 |
| Vustom | o | 03:41 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Vustom: avast is okay... | 03:41 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Vustom: gui stoped working for me, but so did clam. cli worked nicely though | 03:42 |
| Starminn | Vustom: Yep. Just because YOU can't be affected by viruses doesn't mean you're not a carrier. :) | 03:42 |
| Vustom | o | 03:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Us3r_Unfriendly: i guess but its of no interest tome | 03:42 |

| Vustom | so flow for me D: | 03:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid: nope | 03:42 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: But if you're not botting Windows that won't affect it, right? I mean in a dual-boot environment? | 03:43 |
| thelivingded | lucid: Did you put it there? | 03:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: no as it's not in the equation | 03:43 |
| DaGeek247 | lucid no | 03:43 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid: you should have a home directory, but not a desktop folder | 03:43 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: check the software center before going out to individual websites.. the packages offered in the software center have been vetted for use in ubuntu, and (generally) work fine after installation | 03:43 |
| sindakus | so can anyone help me :c | 03:43 |
| Starminn | Us3r_Unfriendly: How did you go about it? Pop in the CD and let Ubuntu installer handle everything (or manually, but you see my point) or did you partition it in Windows then allocate that drive space to Ubuntu? | 03:43 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: even nvidia proprietary drivers should be available automatically | 03:44 |
| DaGeek247 | sandakus with what? | 03:44 |
| Vustom | o | 03:44 |
| Vustom | i can get my drivers from the Ubuntu software center? | 03:44 |
| Vustom | :O:O:O:O | 03:44 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Starminn: i first poped in my ubuntu live cd and used gparted from there. then i selected how much drive space i wanted to use for both. then i used the ubuntu installer. don't use wubi | 03:45 |
| thorbj0rn | or from "System > Administrator > Additional Hardware" | 03:45 |
| thorbj0rn | Vustom: those drivers/etc will install even in LiveCD mode. so you will see immediate results | 03:45 |
| Starminn | Us3r_Unfriendly: Didn't plan on doing Wubi. Alright so basically the best method for install is to partition first, then manually specifiy what to use and where? That's the only problem I've heard of, if you let the installer partition for you instead of doing it beforehand. Beforehand seems to have no problems from what I've read. | 03:46 |
| DaGeek247 | sindakus with what? | 03:46 |
| sindakus | DaGeek247: messed up grub after installing ubuntu on an external | 03:46 |
| Vustom | k :) | 03:46 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Starminn: use gparted from the live cd to partition your drive. then use the ubuntu installer and install on the "free space" | 03:47 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Starminn: worked fine every time for me, never a problem | 03:47 |
| DaGeek247 | sindakus its easy to fix grub. | 03:48 |
| DaGeek247 | !grub | 03:48 |
| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 03:48 |

| ubottu | sindakus: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 03:49 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: your the one having issues with grub, right? | 03:50 |
| tzaeru | huh, this is odd. going to grub boot menu at startup, I changed the boot command to mount the root as 'rw' rathern than 'ro' - it anyway mounted it as read-only. | 03:51 |
| LachlanH | How can I allow anybody access to my X server. | 03:51 |
| tzaeru | fstab's set to mount read-only but ubuntu live-cd doesn't regocnize the hard disk >_> | 03:51 |
| Starminn | Us3r_Unfriendly: Right, right. Okay. Thanks. Hey, while we're talking about partitions, how might I go about moving my Home folder to a partition? (and is it worth the trouble?) | 03:51 |
| Vustom | does anybody know if quake live works on linux? (cant seem to load quakelive.com to check) | 03:52 |

| thorbj0rn | Starminn: i recently moved my /home/ to a whole other folder using a step-by-step on the ubuntu page | 03:52 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Starminn: i'm not sure exactly what you mean, but a sudo cp -r is a good start to copying. i don't recommend using mv seeing if something goes wrong, well atleast it's a copy you moved | 03:53 |
| T3CHKOMMIE | hey everyone im trying to run auido over HDMI with ubuntu 10.4 lts. video works great with 1080p but no sound at all. i have a zotac nvidea ion board... help?! | 03:53 |
| thorbj0rn | Starminn: my mistake, it was a 3rd party site http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ | 03:53 |
| g_0_0 | !vnc | LachlanH | 03:54 |
| ubottu | LachlanH: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 03:54 |
| thorbj0rn | Us3r_Unfriendly: pointing the link /home/ to somewhere else | 03:54 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: so from a terminal in the live cd environment, mount your partition with ubuntu on it. sudo fdisk -l will tell you where it's at | 03:54 |
| thorbj0rn | Us3r_Unfriendly: very useful for mounting several OS with the same /home/ | 03:54 |
| thorbj0rn | or .. booting several OS | 03:54 |
| hyde | how to show all history command using history command? it only shows 500 by default .. | 03:54 |
| LachlanH | I mean access to open windows in my X session. I'm SSH'd into another machine and need to display a window on my local X server, which is refusing the connection. | 03:54 |

| Vustom | k time to install ubuntu, bye :D | 03:55 |
| g_0_0 | LachlanH, is the port open? | 03:55 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | hyde: less ~/.bash_history | 03:55 |
| LachlanH | What's the X server port? | 03:55 |
| hyde | Us3r_Unfriendly, I know that, I am wondering if it is possible to use history command .. | 03:56 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | hyde: then i'd say trying man history | 03:56 |
| g_0_0 | off the top of my head 6000 LachlanH | 03:56 |
| hyde | already did | 03:56 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | hyde: why use the history command | 03:56 |
| sindakus | Us3r_Unfriendly: okay, I see where it is. | 03:57 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: did you mount it yet? | 03:57 |
| sindakus | Us3r_Unfriendly: yeah, it's mounted | 03:57 |
| Starminn | thorbj0rn: And was it worth it? | 03:57 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: sudo mount /dev/sda* /mnt/ replace the * with the number for your ubuntu partition | 03:57 |
| hyde | Us3r_Unfriendly, the file has timestamp needs to be converted, easier using history command. | 03:58 |
| chipor | I was wondering if there are any web developers out there I could chat with one on one for some advice? | 03:58 |
| sindakus | Us3r_Unfriendly: rather then sda, it's sdb, that make much difference? (other then needing to use sdb) | 03:58 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: no that's fine | 03:58 |
| Starminn | chipor: For one, this is off-topic, for another, it would probably help if you stated what you'd be chatting abot. | 03:58 |
| sindakus | Us3r_Unfriendly: alright, mounted | 03:58 |
| mitchell | hi. i have a new laptop and i just installed ubuntu 10.10 and my mouse keeps on jumping around like crazy. it is really awful | 03:59 |
| river | hi | 03:59 |
| Falstius | I've been handed a USB drive formatted as HFS+. It seems journaled HFS isn't supported RW without the force option. Has anyone tried this and had their data survive? | 03:59 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: where's did you mount it, it's important for me so i can tell you the correct command. sudo mount -l will tell you | 03:59 |
| thorbj0rn | Starminn: yes, for my aforementioned reason of being able to install another OS, and point it's /home/ to the same partition.. | 04:00 |
| thorbj0rn | Starminn: it is akin to having your "My Documents" folder on another drive in winblows | 04:00 |
| thorbj0rn | with more benefits | 04:00 |
| Starminn | thorbj0rn: Right, right, I understand the concept lol, I'm just thinking about if it makes sense to do that on a daily used machine. Although, I guess if you just threw a symmlink up there your home folder would still be at "~" correct? | 04:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: where's did you mount it, it's important for me so i can tell you the correct command. sudo mount -l will tell you | 04:01 |
| sindakus | Us3r_Unfriendly: http://pastebin.com/SbWFWwDh | 04:02 |
| thorbj0rn | Starminn: yeah, part of the process layed out in that walk-thru is editting fstab to remap /home/ | 04:02 |
| Starminn | thorbj0rn: Gotcha, thanks. | 04:02 |
| Starminn | I'm trying to set up a Virtual MAchine but it keeps telling me there is "no bootable medium found." Suggestions? | 04:03 |
| thorbj0rn | Starminn: as far as the OS is concerned, it is business as usual.. when i surf around in Nautilus, my free space changes depending on which physical drive i am looking at, but other than that i have not noticed anything. | 04:03 |
| Starminn | thorbj0rn: Makes sense. Thanks. | 04:03 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: you have sdb1 and sdb5...both are in a ext 4 so it makes it hard to determin each out. type in a terminal: sudo ls -a /mnt/home/ is that the one or is it mounted in the /media/ directory | 04:05 |
| manlymatt83 | What's a good scanner with ubuntu support? | 04:05 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | manlymatt83: scanner?? | 04:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | for what manlymatt83 | 04:06 |
| sindakus | Us3r_Unfriendly: it says 'newton' inside, I guess that is the linux one | 04:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: is that your user name in ubuntu? | 04:06 |
| sindakus | Us3r_Unfriendly: yes | 04:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | hold on....i got alot of typing lol | 04:07 |
| thorbj0rn | manlymatt83: XSane supports a wide variety of scanners | 04:08 |
| manlymatt83 | thorbj0rn: what's one you would recommend? | 04:08 |
| thorbj0rn | http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html | 04:08 |
| sindakus | Us3r_Unfriendly: if it makes a difference sdb5 is on sdb1 (sdb1 is the external) | 04:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sdb ...then after you reboot you be rebooted in ubuntu without no option for windows. after you booted in your ubuntu desktop, type in a terminal: update-grub2 | 04:09 |
| thorbj0rn | manlymatt83: polling is frowned upon here; everyone has a 'best' device. | 04:09 |
| manlymatt83 | okay, sorry | 04:10 |
| thorbj0rn | manlymatt83: i have personally only used lexmark, and hp scanner/copiers with ubuntu | 04:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sindakus: you want to use the one that ubuntu is installed on. if ubuntu is installed on your external, you that...but if it's in your /mnt/ directory than that should work | 04:10 |
| thorbj0rn | manlymatt83: neither one seemed to work better or worse than the other, SANE made full use of their various features. | 04:10 |

| Starminn | From the Sun site which then triggered Software Center to install it. | 04:19 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | okay | 04:19 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Starminn: now did you add your self to the vbox group?? | 04:19 |

| Homefix | coolest thing thank u | 04:20 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | fizy[laptop]: unices is free but you have to sign up for it so you can download it. same with avast | 04:20 |
| thorbj0rn | fizy[laptop]: If you agree to use it on your home computers only, you can have it for free - that's free as in freeware, not Richard Stallman free. | 04:21 |
| thorbj0rn | fizy[laptop]: got that from the dl site | 04:21 |
| fizy[laptop] | i just need it to put on my laptop so i can get a virus off my ipod | 04:21 |

| g_0_0 | LachlanH, do you not just have to add -X switch to your ssh login ? | 04:21 |
| AbhijiT | !clamav | 04:21 |
| thorbj0rn | fizy[laptop]: then the short answer is yes, it is free. | 04:21 |
| sindakus | Us3r_Unfriendly: didn't work - would it have something to do with the ubuntu not being on the same disk as the main disk? | 04:22 |
| AbhijiT | fizy[laptop], clamav is free antivirus | 04:22 |
| thorbj0rn | fizy[laptop]: http://www.bitdefender.com/business/antivirus-for-unices.html | 04:22 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | clam that is. avast and unices are not in the repos. I don't know why though | 04:25 |
| Starminn | Us3r_Unfriendly: I've only got vboxusers:x:126: (and I'm not in it. My name on my comp isn't Starminn, but I know what you're trying to say) | 04:26 |
| fizy[laptop] | what repo? the only experiance i have with repos is with bitbucket and mercurial for some doftware im wrinting | 04:26 |

| fizy[laptop] | i just need to anti virus scan it | 04:40 |
| fizy[laptop] | nautilus loads it perfectly and all | 04:41 |
| sicknote | you would scan it as any other external drive afaik | 04:41 |
| thorbj0rn | fizy[laptop]: plug it in, open klamav, click Advanced > Preferences, set it to scan all files/folders inside a folder | 04:41 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | fizy[laptop]: sudo mount -l | 04:41 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | fizy[laptop]: that'll show you where it's mounted. then scan it there | 04:41 |
| Da|Mummy | Us3r_Unfriendly, im trying to get ssl working over usenet, and apparently i need gnutls, not sure how to install and which one | 04:41 |
| Guest43388 | how to fix uinput | 04:42 |
| thorbj0rn | fizy[laptop]: quit preferences, click the big Directory bitton, and then pick the ipod from the nautilus dialog. | 04:42 |
| fizy[laptop] | can i just skip the setup? | 04:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Da|Mummy: search on synaptic on that...i'm haven't used this before so i might not be great help to you | 04:42 |
| Starminn | Us3r_Unfriendly: Right. ~/Downloads is where it's coming from | 04:43 |

| l1nuxman | shoudn't this work? sudo rsync -azivv -e ssh /var/www/test user@domain.ca:/www/website/ | 04:43 |
| fizy[laptop] | or just use the defaults for the quarentine and sig database? | 04:43 |
| thorbj0rn | fizy[laptop]: it will only scan folders in the root of the ipod's storage area if you don't do the setup stuff in preferences | 04:43 |
| thorbj0rn | oh.. that setup | 04:43 |
| thorbj0rn | use defaults, should be fine | 04:43 |
| fizy[laptop] | i mean the 1st run stuff | 04:43 |

| g_0_0 | JSong, a while since I've done it but I think you copy it to /etc/ssl/certs | 05:08 |
| brunner | g_0_0, 64-bit | 05:08 |
| g_0_0 | brunner have you tried the 32 bit version? | 05:08 |
| JSong | g_0_0: thank you | 05:08 |
| thorbj0rn | fizy[laptop]: did you call Jobs a media whore? | 05:08 |

| fizy[laptop] | oh come on | 05:09 |
| kaushal | I always see it runs out of the box for any hardware in Windows but in linux we need to put in extra effort ? | 05:09 |
| g_0_0 | brunner, I would now try the 32 bit version and see if you can get it working | 05:09 |
| kaushal | Any specific reason ? | 05:09 |
| fizy[laptop] | how many bots do i need to get panties in a wad for a bloody hyperlink??? | 05:10 |
| niallcd | meh its worth a shot: so I have the Livecd up and when I select "boot arch linux" nothing happens except that the automatic boot resets | 05:10 |

| fizy[laptop] | almost got ISS last year when mr. bell caught me loading it on the school computers | 05:13 |
| fizy[laptop] | install??? | 05:13 |
| fizy[laptop] | mine is a live cd | 05:13 |

| tzaeru | off-topic | 05:14 |

| rww | #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:14 |
| tzaeru | I'm still loosely on topic as I'm trying to fix my ubuntu installation | 05:14 |
| kwamaking | whats wrong with ye installation tzaeru | 05:14 |
| JSong | g_0_0: I am new to command line and last time I moved or copied, I really did some dmg because i did not use the . | 05:15 |
| tzaeru | this happened: crash during distro update, filesystems went read-only, tried to change grub loading parameter from ro to rw, still root loaded as read only | 05:15 |
| tzaeru | then I put in the ubuntu live-cd but it didn't find the hard disk in question | 05:15 |
| tzaeru | now trying if knoppix did find it so I could change fstab >_> | 05:15 |
| JSong | g_0_0: what is the comman if i want to copy a file called myaudiolisting.com from //home/main/ to etc/ssl/certs/ | 05:15 |
| fizy[laptop] | just use sudo nautilus | 05:16 |
| kwamaking | cp /home/main/ /etc/ssl/certs | 05:16 |
| g_0_0 | sudo cp myaudiolist.com /etc/ssl/certs | 05:16 |
| kwamaking | yah include that bit | 05:16 |
| fizy[laptop] | and get a root file browser | 05:16 |
| xangua | !gksu | fizy[laptop]: JSong do not | 05:16 |
| ubottu | fizy[laptop]: JSong do not: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 05:16 |
| thorbj0rn | JSong: sudo mv /home/main/myaudiolisting.com /etc/ssl/certs | 05:16 |
| kwamaking | what thorbj0rn | 05:16 |
| kwamaking | said | 05:16 |
| * fizy[laptop] hangs his head in shame | 05:16 | |
| fizy[laptop] | guys im sorry | 05:16 |
| kwamaking | thorbj0rn's way is the best, mv is the appropriate command | 05:17 |
| bullgard4 | I upgraded to Grub 2 after having deleted a partition named detlef2. When booting Grub 2 tells me: "The hard disk ~/detlef2 is not yet ready or does not exist. You can still wait; press S to surpass mounting , or M to recover." What Grub 2 configuration file do I have to edit to get rid of this message? | 05:17 |
| JSong | instead of moving can i copy the file? I am deathly scared of moving.. i messed up the whole o/s due to missing . one time | 05:17 |
| thorbj0rn | JSong: yes, replace mv with cp | 05:17 |
| g_0_0 | xangua, I thought we were talking about just copying it there from the command line not launching a file browser | 05:17 |
| fizy[laptop] | so how is gksudo better? not trying to be smart aleck, i just never know to sue gksudo | 05:18 |
| fizy[laptop] | use* | 05:18 |
| JSong | so the cmmand is sudo cp /home/main/myaudiolisting.com /etc/ssl/certs/ ? | 05:18 |
| g_0_0 | JSong, in the terminal type - sudo cp myaudiolist.com /etc/ssl/certs | 05:18 |
| Linda | how can i remove evolution ? | 05:18 |
| Linda | even from sys tray | 05:18 |
| kwamaking | sudo isn't necessary if you're already authed or logged in as root | 05:18 |
| thorbj0rn | JSong: yes | 05:18 |
| JSong | yes i am alreadu in root | 05:18 |
| thorbj0rn | kwamaking: or pasting into a folder where you don't have rights | 05:19 |
| JSong | i did sudo su and typed my apss already | 05:19 |
| kwamaking | thorbj0rn: yeah but chown it first | 05:19 |
| g_0_0 | JSong, no need for root use sudo | 05:19 |
| JSong | which chown | 05:19 |
| kwamaking | wait, listen to these guys, for security purposes it's probably best just to sudo | 05:19 |
| JSong | i tied to download the cert from my desktop to the folder using filzilla and sais write permisison not granted | 05:20 |
| aurilliance | I need to join two videos together into one file (so that one plays after another) is ffmpeg my tool of choice? | 05:20 |
| kwamaking | k it's because filezilla isn't doing it as root | 05:20 |
| g_0_0 | JSong, you need to use sudo to copy the file to the folder /etc/ssl/certs | 05:20 |
| kwamaking | save it to your desktop or something and sudo mv/cp it to the directory | 05:20 |
| g_0_0 | in the terminal ctrl d to close root | 05:20 |
| JSong | sudo cp /home/main/myaudiolisting.com /etc/ssl/certs | 05:20 |
| JSong | is this ok? | 05:20 |
| thorbj0rn | correct. | 05:21 |
| kwamaking | that'll do sir | 05:21 |
| g_0_0 | then type - sudo cp myaudiolisting.com /etc/ssl/certs | 05:21 |
| kwamaking | man i love gorgonzola | 05:22 |
| basy | Hi, when i run "top" i recieve [top: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] any ideas why ? | 05:22 |
| JSong | ok so it worked. so now i need to reboot apache | 05:23 |
| otako | hey, i don't have hardware drivers in system/administration, do you guys know why? | 05:23 |
| g_0_0 | JSong, sudo apache2ctl restart | 05:23 |
| fizy[laptop] | is there any way to make klamav scan with a higher priority? its taking forever. it started 30 mins ago, and its 2% done. i think im even using a usb1.1 port. | 05:24 |
| l1nuxman | can someone help me figure out how I can scp a file to my webserver. I can ssh into it no problem but I can't scp a file. It just hangs after I enter a password. scp test2/file4 user@domain.ca:/mnt/b0281da0/www/epilepsycureinitiative.ca/ | 05:24 |
| tzaeru | mh, if at boot-up I change grub's command to boot, from there reading 'ro' to 'rw', should the root filesystem then actually be mounted as read-write? | 05:24 |
| g_0_0 | otako, do you mean additional drivers? | 05:24 |
| JSong | is there a reason why it is safer to not be in the root? | 05:24 |
| g_0_0 | JSong, as you already know it's easier to bork your machine | 05:25 |
| xormor | JSong: root can mess up the system files. | 05:25 |
| rww | JSong: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo discusses reasons for it | 05:25 |
| aurilliance | I need to join two videos together into one file (so that one plays after another) is ffmpeg my tool of choice? | 05:25 |
| kwamaking | wtih root priveledges anyone can do anything without prompt which evne you yourself could do some damage | 05:25 |
| JSong | ok thank you for the info: so to restart, i used to ype: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 05:25 |
| otako | i don't think so...i need to enable a proprietary driver, and that's how the help thing said to do it | 05:25 |
| kwamaking | actually | 05:25 |
| kwamaking | in ubuntu | 05:25 |
| JSong | so i would type then sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 05:25 |
| kwamaking | you can type restart apache2 | 05:25 |
| xormor | JSong: mostly your private user account can mess up your home directory /home/accountname | 05:26 |
| g_0_0 | JSong, yep | 05:26 |
| kwamaking | well wait that might be an ubuntu server only feature... i can't remember | 05:26 |
| otako | or is there another way to enable it? | 05:26 |
| fizy[laptop] | is there any way to get the klamav scanning notification out of the top teft corner of my monitor? | 05:26 |
| kwamaking | type /etc/init.d/apache2 start | 05:27 |
| JSong | so is it safe to use a different password for Root vs. account log in? if so how do I reset root log in vs.. just account login | 05:27 |
| kwamaking | JSong always best to use different pass's | 05:27 |
| xormor | my debian broke after I installed Ubuntu on the other partition. How come? Did they use some of the same space on the hard drive? | 05:27 |
| g_0_0 | otako, do you have additional drivers list under system-administration? | 05:27 |
| kwamaking | use something obscure for root... | 05:27 |
| JSong | how do i only change the root pass.. without touching the login pass? | 05:27 |
| zach32 | hey i removed the sound applet from the top panel and i can't find it in add to panel how can i restor it?????????? | 05:27 |
| g_0_0 | JSong, you don't have a root password | 05:27 |
| g_0_0 | JSong, root alone | 05:28 |
| otako | yes, but that won't let me use the one i need | 05:28 |
| kwamaking | unless he creatd one | 05:28 |
| g_0_0 | JSong, instead use sudo | 05:28 |
| kwamaking | g_0_0, | 05:28 |
| JSong | well i have the same pass right now.. i log in and then type sudo su and prompts me for a password | 05:28 |
| JSong | and it is the same one | 05:28 |
| kwamaking | right and it will be | 05:28 |
| thorbj0rn | zach32: the volume icon is included in the "Indicator Applet" for the panel | 05:28 |
| kwamaking | but i think you're confusing root with sudo | 05:29 |
| kwamaking | if you typed sudo passwd root | 05:29 |
| g_0_0 | !rootpass | 05:29 |
| kwamaking | and added a new password | 05:29 |
| kwamaking | you could then su as root | 05:29 |
| kwamaking | and never have to type sudo again | 05:29 |
| kwamaking | but i don't recommend | 05:29 |
| FloodBot3 | kwamaking: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:29 |

| g_0_0 | !root | 05:29 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:29 |
| rww | bullgard4: remove it from /etc/fstab | 05:29 |
| thorbj0rn | zach32: right-click the panel and select "Add Applet" and select either "Indicator Applet", or "Indicator Applet Session" depending on whether or not you wish to have the IM panel as well. | 05:30 |
| kwamaking | hmm didn't know i couldn't help people set a root password... it's pretty good thing to know especially for those running ubuntu server | 05:30 |
| otako | is there anything i can do, or will i be unable to use the drivers? | 05:30 |
| kwamaking | save from the repetitive sudo hassle | 05:30 |
| basy | Hi, when i run "top" i recieve [top: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4...] any ideas why ? | 05:30 |
| JSong | yes i am new to ubuntu | 05:30 |
| JSong | and i would like to know how to set a pass for root | 05:31 |
| xormor | I can't log in as root in my system without sudo bash or some such, this is from my /etc/shadow: "root:!:15005:0:99999:7:::" | 05:31 |
| JSong | i dont want jsut anyone having root access | 05:31 |
| rww | JSong: then find out somewhere else. It's not supported in this channel. | 05:31 |
| JSong | why would they need it | 05:31 |
| kwamaking | JSong you can't learn this here, it is not supported | 05:31 |
| brandon420 | sudo passwd | 05:31 |
| JSong | i'll google it | 05:31 |
| rww | JSong: by default, nobody can log in, not "just anyone". the account's disabled and has a password hash that will never match a password. | 05:31 |
| brandon420 | JSong, sudo passwd | 05:31 |
| xormor | JSong: sudo bash | 05:31 |
| rww | !noroot | brandon420 | 05:31 |
| ubottu | brandon420: We do not support setting a root password. Please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 05:31 |
| JSong | ok thank you all | 05:32 |
| brandon420 | oh lawd, sometimes its needed | 05:32 |
| brandon420 | gl and be careful JSong | 05:32 |
| g_0_0 | brandon420, for? | 05:32 |
| brandon420 | to make crap easier | 05:32 |
| brandon420 | why hide it from someone? they need to learn it, and learn to be very freaking careful with it. | 05:33 |
| kwamaking | brandon420, basically what i'm saying... from a server running perspective | 05:33 |
| Loof | I've got an older laptop /w a Supersavage chipset. DRI turns on, but not AIGLX. And a number of apps are quite slow. Oddly enough, if I turn off acceleration it is overall FASTER. But then scrolling becomes really slow. | 05:33 |
| g_0_0 | brandon420, probably better avoiding crap | 05:33 |
| rww | brandon420: because it's not supported by Ubuntu's developers, and thus not supported by this channel. | 05:33 |
| Loof | I'm trying to figure out how to tune this thing... or what I might be able to turn off | 05:33 |
| brandon420 | ohwell, sue me. | 05:33 |
| kwamaking | it's smart from a business perspective with ubuntu, so i completely agree with it | 05:34 |
| brandon420 | oh good lord. | 05:36 |
| fizy[laptop] | on klamav what does an empty file mean? | 05:36 |
| brandon420 | get over it. please. | 05:36 |
| JSong | hmm it does not look like i can have two pass's anyway. if i log into my terminal and use my pass, it is same as root | 05:36 |
| bonjoyee1 | how to access man pages in /opt/share? | 05:36 |
| kwamaking | sudo chown user:user /opt/share | 05:36 |
| bullgard4 | rww: Thank you very much for your help. | 05:37 |
| kwamaking | bonjoyee1, replace user with your user of course | 05:37 |
| thorbj0rn | fizy[laptop]: just guessing, but i think it is a file with no bytes, and simply a record in the file system. | 05:37 |
| kindly | hjj | 05:37 |
| Gnea | JSong: so why did you need to set a password for root? | 05:37 |
| kindly | ?? | 05:37 |
| bonjoyee1 | kwamaking: i mean..the man pages should show up using the "man" command? | 05:37 |
| JSong | because when i log in i can just do sudo su and get root access | 05:38 |
| thorbj0rn | JSong: the sudo command uses your current users's pass | 05:38 |
| JSong | it is too easy | 05:38 |
| kindly | 中国。。 | 05:38 |
| JSong | i want to set a pass so people do nto have root access except me | 05:38 |
| bonjoyee1 | kwamaking: just like they do when installed in /usr/share/ | 05:38 |
| Gnea | JSong: sudo -i would be the correct way to do it | 05:38 |
| === bonjoyee1 is now known as bonjoyee | ||
| thorbj0rn | JSong: it also has a grace period so doing multiple sudo commands in quick succession requires only 1 password prompt | 05:38 |
| kwamaking | bonjoyee, yeah tehy should | 05:38 |
| rww | JSong: running su with sudo permissions means you don't get asked for a password. Setting one for root would not change that. | 05:39 |
| Gnea | JSong: setting a pass actually makes it less secure. the correct way is to edit /etc/sudoers so that only users in a certain group may have root privelages | 05:39 |
| kwamaking | but if you ruser doesn't have permission to that directory | 05:39 |
| kwamaking | which is possible | 05:39 |
| bonjoyee | kwamaking: i tried..no go:( | 05:39 |
| kwamaking | bonjoyee, then you need to chown that direcotroy, or type sudo man | 05:39 |
| rww | (and the correct way to edit /etc/sudoers is with visudo, not editing the file directly) | 05:39 |
| kwamaking | then use sudo man xxx | 05:39 |
| kindly | hello | 05:39 |
| kwamaking | replace xxx with whatever cmd ur trying to use | 05:39 |
| JSong | gnea so how would i make this file? | 05:39 |
| Gnea | JSong: just make sure that those who should have access are part of that group, and those that shouldn't aren't in that group. simple. | 05:39 |
| Gnea | JSong: you don't, it already exists. | 05:39 |

| kwamaking | shawn146, nero is an option | 05:40 |
| lihongzhi88 | ni hao a | 05:41 |
| Gnea | JSong: you've been told how. | 05:41 |
| JSong | so i only put users i want to give root access to? | 05:41 |
| shawn146 | and i ahve to get my friends laptop back to him | 05:41 |
| shawn146 | oh | 05:41 |

| shawn146 | i use nero | 05:41 |

| rww | kindly: English here, please. | 05:41 |
| kindly | ？ | 05:41 |
| Gnea | JSong: what you need to do is read the file and follow the directions within it | 05:41 |
| histo | JSong: sudo visudo | 05:41 |
| Gnea | JSong: no, visudo | 05:41 |
| shawn146 | hmm | 05:41 |

| shawn146 | if i can get my pc to boot xD | 05:41 |
| Gnea | kwamaking: the correct command is visudo. | 05:41 |
| rww | Do not edit /etc/sudoers using a text editor. Use visudo, which checks to make sure you didn't screw it up. | 05:41 |
| Gnea | kwamaking: using nano or gedit will screw the system up. | 05:42 |
| kwamaking | Gnea, i can't seem to get used to vim | 05:42 |
| JSong | %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 05:42 |
| kwamaking | Gnea, Vim makes my eyes bleed | 05:42 |
| JSong | %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL | 05:42 |
| rww | kwamaking: visudo uses nano by default. | 05:42 |
| kwamaking | Gnea, and hands cramp | 05:42 |
| kwamaking | oooooooh | 05:42 |
| kwamaking | vi isn't short for vim? | 05:42 |
| Gnea | kwamaking: then perhaps you don't need to be editting that file. | 05:42 |
| rww | kwamaking: or rather, $EDITOR, which is set to nano by default on Ubuntu. | 05:42 |

| kwamaking | i'm old fashioned i'm just like nano or gedit | 05:42 |
| Gnea | JSong: you ought to know better by now. | 05:43 |
| JSong | so where do i put users for only root access? | 05:43 |
| kwamaking | anything with vi and i think vim | 05:43 |
| histo | kwamaking: keep trying vim you'll be vary thankfull int he future that you learned it. Especially if you check out vimium for chrome. | 05:43 |

| brandon420 | nano ftw | 05:43 |
| JSong | i used vi editor 20 years ago .. now i got used to using nano | 05:43 |
| histo | well this is entirely offtopic but I used to think that as well. Untill I learned about marcros and s/ etc... | 05:43 |
| JSong | sorry i didnt recognize vi | 05:43 |
| Gnea | JSong: you can use nano, just follow these directions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers | 05:44 |
| JSong | so what do i edit to only have users that I wnat to give root access to? | 05:44 |
| kwamaking | i dunno, vim is just so old school and i loved it until i found nano, now i feel all cavemanish when using it | 05:44 |
| kwamaking | but i was never big into scripting in the terminal so those who are may appreciate vim more | 05:45 |

| shawn146 | oh | 06:07 |
| shawn146 | ok | 06:07 |
| shawn146 | or you mean unetbootin? | 06:08 |

| digitalfiz | i have been burning the ubuntu iso to dvd for a long time it always works... | 06:11 |
| aurilliance | I need to join two videos together into one file (so that one plays after another) is ffmpeg my tool of choice? | 06:12 |
| thorbj0rn | digitalfiz: maybe i didn't massage it in the right way. any time i have grabbed a dvd off a spindle by mistake, it has failed | 06:13 |
| thorbj0rn | digitalfiz: well, the burn works but the result is not bootable | 06:13 |
| digitalfiz | hmm dunno ive burned on single and dual layer dvds and always worked fine for me | 06:13 |
| shawn146 | can someone help me | 06:15 |
| shawn146 | is their a 32-bit version of 10.10 that can boot off of a dvd+rw? | 06:15 |

| linoge | shawn146: just select ubuntu image and reboot, and then boot from unetbootin entry | 06:16 |
| aurilliance | Ten-Eight, thanks mate! | 06:17 |
| Gnea | Ascavasaion: nothing's perfect and nobody gets paid for it and there is a bug reporting system | 06:17 |
| Ten-Eight | aurilliance: no problem my friend. | 06:17 |
| linoge | shawn146: o try another cd burning utility | 06:17 |
| Gnea | Ascavasaion: anyway, 10.10 is still a work in progress while 10.04 has a bit more stability to it | 06:17 |
| shawn146 | its a problem with my discs, they don't want to burn anymore | 06:17 |
| shawn146 | its not a software problem | 06:17 |
| Gnea | shawn146: then get a new drive | 06:18 |
| zairo | g_0_0: i got this: RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `mail' does NOT match server name!? | 06:18 |
| linoge | shawn146: then use unetbootin | 06:18 |
| shawn146 | i did not say anything about my drive | 06:18 |
| shawn146 | tmy drives are perfectly fine | 06:18 |
| Gnea | shawn146: you said the problem is not software, meaning it's a hardware problem. be clear. | 06:18 |
| thorbj0rn | Gnea: it's a re-writable media problem | 06:19 |
| Ascavasaion | Gnea: It is 10.04 | 06:19 |
| Gnea | thorbj0rn: then he's going to need media that doesn't suck | 06:19 |

| Ascavasaion | Whew, now that took some serious typing effort eheh | 06:25 |
| Gnea | Ascavasaion: this is from any cd or dvd you put in the drive? | 06:25 |
| Ascavasaion | looks like one of the CDROMs are not working too well with Ubuntu. I am going to remove all media and reboot. | 06:25 |
| Gnea | DHammer: it would be to your benefit, and others, if you did not PM me | 06:26 |
| Ascavasaion | Gnea: Not sure, rebooting without any media in the drive now | 06:26 |
| DHammer | Can i get POL from the Ubuntu Software Center? | 06:26 |
| shawn146 | well i can't run ubuntu left | 06:26 |
| shawn146 | *yet | 06:26 |
| Gnea | DHammer: you could try opening it and searching for it, not sure | 06:26 |
| Gnea | shawn146: oh, well you'll need to get it running first. | 06:27 |
| DHammer | i just found it on the software center | 06:27 |
| Gnea | awesome | 06:27 |
| Ascavasaion | Gnea: Same error with no media but this time it gives me the terminal login with no GDM for Gnome login. | 06:27 |
| pvl1 | is there a way to run mysql-server with a debug output? | 06:27 |
| zairo | g_0_0: now no error msg but still error 404 | 06:27 |
| Gnea | Ascavasaion: I don't see how that's a cdrom-related issue | 06:27 |
| Ascavasaion | Gnea: ATA is not CDROM? | 06:28 |
| ^Phantom^ | I am beginning to get rather mad at my computer, almost to the point where I'm about ready to kick it over! | 06:28 |
| ^Phantom^ | I absolutely can *not* get bluetooth to work right. | 06:28 |
| Ascavasaion | Gnea: I can type startx and it opens Gnome. | 06:28 |
| Gnea | Ascavasaion: ATA refers to the hardware controller | 06:28 |
| Ascavasaion | Gnea: Oh. | 06:28 |
| Gnea | ^Phantom^: have you followed the BT guide? | 06:29 |
| Gnea | Ascavasaion: is the drive ide or sata? | 06:29 |
| ^Phantom^ | I'm trying to pull up the filesystem on my phone, and I've set everything up right, and set the phone to give my desktop automatic access each time. | 06:29 |
| Ascavasaion | Gnea: IDE | 06:29 |
| ^Phantom^ | Yeah, I followed the guide and everything. | 06:29 |
| Gnea | ^Phantom^: and which guide did you follow, exactly? | 06:29 |
| ^Phantom^ | I keep getting "The folder contents could not be displayed. Remote server error" | 06:29 |
| ^Phantom^ | I did the setup wizard, Gnea. | 06:30 |
| Ascavasaion | ^Phantom^: I found Blueman Device Manager really helpful with my Bluetooth. My laptop does not have bluetooth and I use a dongle. | 06:30 |
| Gnea | ^Phantom^: make sure your phone is set to accept connections | 06:30 |
| ^Phantom^ | It is, Gnea. | 06:30 |
| Gnea | ^Phantom^: that isn't very descriptive, there are many setup wizards | 06:30 |
| ^Phantom^ | If it's any help, my phone is an Android. | 06:30 |
| Gnea | hmm | 06:30 |
| g_0_0 | zairo, pages hosted for port 443? | 06:31 |
| Taffy | shawn146: think from your resources what you have i assume you got 2 computers an internet connection has to be a way but i'm out of options except buying a new cd-rw in the morning | 06:31 |
| ^Phantom^ | I should also note that I had the same problem happen earlier, when I tried to browse to the phone's filesystem from a Windows machine earlier today. | 06:31 |
| Gnea | ^Phantom^: problem is likely not with windows or ubuntu | 06:32 |
| zairo | g_0_0: what do u mean by that? | 06:32 |
| Gnea | ^Phantom^: can you browse using a usb cable? | 06:32 |
| ^Phantom^ | Gnea, yeah. | 06:32 |
| g_0_0 | zairo, I mean did you edit virtualhosts for apache? | 06:32 |
| ^Phantom^ | Gnea, also, I am able to get on to other devices with both machines without trouble | 06:33 |
| Gnea | ^Phantom^: k, and did you pair the device properly? | 06:33 |
| ^Phantom^ | Gnea, yes | 06:33 |
| Gnea | ^Phantom^: can you tether and do other bluetooth stuff with it? | 06:33 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | any of the guys i was helping a hour ago still here? | 06:33 |
| ^Phantom^ | Yeah, I had the phone using the other computer's audio service without any issues | 06:34 |
| Gnea | Us3r_Unfriendly: say their names | 06:34 |
| ^Phantom^ | The windows one | 06:34 |
| g_0_0 | zairo, check you did this - http://www.tc.umn.edu/~brams006/selfsign_ubuntu.html | 06:34 |
| ^Phantom^ | I'm thinking I need to change some kind of setting on the phone. | 06:34 |

| ^Phantom^ | Gnea, I'll google around some more on the issue, and come back if I make progress on the phone side of this and encounter ubuntu-side problems along the way | 06:36 |
| Gnea | Us3r_Unfriendly: surely weechat has tab completion... | 06:36 |
| ^Phantom^ | Thank you for your time, though, Gnea :) | 06:36 |
| Gnea | ^Phantom^: good luck, also be sure to check ubuntuforums.org | 06:36 |
| ^Phantom^ | Will do. | 06:36 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Gnea: never mind. your not understanding. i remember their names started with a s...that's it. there are alot of ppl with the nick that starts with a s | 06:37 |
| ^Phantom^ | I'm going to hop onto the support channel for my phone's CFW and see if they know anything too. (I run CM6 on it) | 06:37 |
| Gnea | Us3r_Unfriendly: well, I was going to suggest that if you type s, then press the tab key a number of times, it should cycle through all of the nicks that start with s in the channel | 06:38 |
| JSong | what command do i type to remove the forum2 diretory that is in /var/www/forum2 | 06:38 |
| histo | JSong: rm -rf /var/www/forum2 | 06:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Gnea: and as i said, all i remember is it started with a "S", it's been a long day. If i'm helping these 2 with grub2 and vbox, i'd know of tab completion by now...wouldn't you agree? | 06:39 |
| twist | anyone know a good ftp site to get programs | 06:39 |
| JSong | i only want to delete forum2 sub dir not the other ones | 06:40 |
| shawn146 | i need to find usable media first :( | 06:40 |
| Gnea | Us3r_Unfriendly: the point isn't to draw your ire, but to shed light on a method to try to remember who they are. alternatively, you could check the channel log. | 06:40 |
| sindakus | I was one of them | 06:40 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Gnea: might do that | 06:40 |
| Gnea | oh wait | 06:40 |
| Gnea | there you go | 06:40 |
| linoge | shawn146: why don't you use untebootin>? | 06:40 |

| santhosh | twitch: if i do this once then as long as the server is active it ll staty that way right | 07:20 |

| santhosh | twitch: this is what im gonna do. 1.tunnel into the server1 thro ssh 2.from the server1 ill do ssh server2.com -D 1234 . question is now will i be able to see server2:1234 at localhost:1234 from server1? | 07:21 |
| twitch | santhosh: yes if i read you right, make sure you put user@server.com -D 1234 but when you connect to server 1 just use a normal ssh then -D on server1 to server2 so then anything localhost on server1:1234 will go through server2 | 07:24 |

| hank_ | hey guys | 07:32 |
| hank_ | i seem to be hving an install problem | 07:32 |
| indecipherable | I'm a long term Debian user but I've been using Windows primarily because my Fiance is significantly more comfortable with it so our primary P.C is running it but a friend reccomended Ubuntu because she could grasp it better - Is this true and what are the advantages Ubuntu has that have made it more common for desktop/laptop use? | 07:33 |
| Ubuntu_1104 | It is cost effective. | 07:33 |
| twitch | indecipherable: you can download a livecd and run ubuntu to try it out with out having to install it | 07:34 |
| Gnea | indecipherable: try it and see for yourself | 07:34 |
| Smurf | any idea with my nfs problem? | 07:34 |
| indecipherable | I'm loading it on a thumb stick right now; but do you feel there are user friendly aspects to it in comparison to Debian with Gnome desktop? | 07:34 |
| Gnea | !nfs | 07:34 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 07:34 |
| Ubuntu_1104 | My cost to try it is $.20 | 07:34 |
| Smurf | the nfs is only very slow on smal files | 07:35 |
| Gnea | indecipherable: yeah, stuff tends to "just work" | 07:35 |
| Smurf | with big work | 07:35 |
| twitch | indecipherable: with ubuntu software center and synaptic it's pretty easy | 07:36 |
| indecipherable | Gnea: That's definitely the answer I was looking for. I love it when things don't just work but she needs that; so if I can live in 'debian friendly' world and she gets the 'just work' approach we'll be set. | 07:36 |
| kob | hi all | 07:36 |
| Gnea | indecipherable: that's not to say there won't be snags, but plug stuff in and see what happens | 07:36 |
| Gnea | indecipherable: if anything, 10.04 works really well | 07:37 |
| linoge | indecipherable: anyway, you can try the livecd and see if she's comfortable with it | 07:37 |
| indecipherable | Gnea; Okay, I'll grab 10.04 - Thanks for the tip. I came onto freenode today because Squeeze was released and I thought I'd ask the Ubuntu community for input about this life style change. | 07:38 |
| santhosh | twitch: say if something wrong happens while port forwarding can i rever it | 07:38 |
| Gnea | indecipherable: I use debian these days for servers along with ubuntu-server, so I'm familiar with debian as well.. the whole stable/testing/unstable model is akin to the releases that ubuntu makes with LTS (10.04), 10.10 and 11.04 | 07:39 |
| sjskanth | hi | 07:40 |
| AzbinTooty | Is there anyone using an intrusion detection system like Tripwire or samhain in ubuntu? How do you know if a cracker got into your box? | 07:40 |

| maco | Gnea: not exactly.... we sync from unstable | 07:40 |
| pw-toxic | how can i update my packages via console? | 07:40 |
| Zenger | Hello. Can someone help me ? My web-server doesn't work anymore. I've installed lampp and used it for a while. Than someone suggested me to install taskell. I've installed it but it crashed. But now the browser doesn't sees the sub folders. It sees the default "hello page" of lampp. But when I access http://localhost/mysite it shows me a 404 . What's wrong ? | 07:41 |
| maco | Gnea: they keep things in unstable for a couple weeks then move them to testing. if we move something from the devel release to a current stable, its via backports | 07:41 |
| ^Phantom^ | Why won't apt-get let me install libdvdcss? | 07:41 |
| maco | Gnea: debian also has backports though which i think function similarly | 07:41 |
| Gnea | maco: how so? LTS is considered to be the most stable release... 10.10 users are always having issues, like testing users do.... 11.04 is just considered off=limits sans for power users, like sid is | 07:41 |
| linoge | Gnea: i don't remember, but things are organized the same in ubuntu and debian aren't they? | 07:41 |
| maco | ^Phantom^: you're missing the 2 at the end? | 07:41 |
| ^Phantom^ | oh, heh | 07:41 |
| ^Phantom^ | My bad, thank you maco | 07:42 |
| maco | Gnea: 10.04 users had issues the first few weeks too. its a matter of getting the bugs worked out | 07:42 |
| ^Phantom^ | That one won't install either. | 07:42 |
| ^Phantom^ | <_< | 07:42 |
| Gnea | maco: that isn't to say that stable releases don't have bug | 07:42 |
| sjskanth | Unable to enable intel driver pls see xlog error in http://paste.ubuntu.com/563739/ | 07:42 |
| Gnea | *bugs | 07:42 |
| stanman246 | how can i see my cpu's speed from the commandline? | 07:42 |
| maco | ^Phantom^: there's also the part where its not in ubuntu's repos for legal reasons. did you add the medibuntu repo? | 07:42 |
| Gnea | stanman246: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 07:42 |
| ^Phantom^ | I would imagine not. | 07:42 |
| maco | Gnea: i dont think of 11.04 as offlimits except for power users though. i used 7.04 alpha 2 when i had only been using linux for 6 months at that point, maybe 7 months | 07:43 |
| maco | Gnea: also, sid isnt exactly something that debian users avoid in general. its just not what usually goes on servers. its the most common version of debian to run on a desktop though | 07:44 |
| Gnea | maco: again, it's geared more toward power users - even noobs can be power users by learning, we just don't advocate it unless someone asks for it explicitly | 07:44 |
| maco | (or laptop) | 07:44 |
| rww | sid is more stable than 11.04. | 07:44 |
| Gnea | maco: I wouldn't put sid on a server :) | 07:45 |
| maco | rww: yes, i hear that frequently too | 07:45 |
| tensorpudding | i wish 11.04 alpha 2 worked with virtualbox guest additions | 07:45 |
| ^Phantom^ | "Unable to locate package medibuntu" @ maco | 07:45 |
| === senofed_ is now known as senofed | ||
| maco | rww: jcastro was kinda taken aback when i said the SRU process is so slow that i find my system more stable when running alphas of ubuntu than stable releases.... | 07:45 |
| maco | ^Phantom^: repository, not package | 07:46 |
| maco | ^Phantom^: medibuntu.org | 07:46 |
| ^Phantom^ | Oh... | 07:46 |
| ^Phantom^ | How do I add that? | 07:46 |
| maco | ^Phantom^: read the webpage | 07:46 |
| ^Phantom^ | I've never had to add a repository before | 07:46 |
| vish | !medibuntu | ^Phantom^ | 07:47 |
| ubottu | ^Phantom^: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 07:47 |
| maco | Gnea: and most users wouldnt want the cruft that is a debian stable release on their desktop ;-) | 07:47 |
| sjskanth | Unable to enable intel driver pls see xlog error in http://paste.ubuntu.com/563739/ (using ubuntu 10.10 kernel 2.6.35 -26 ) | 07:47 |
| maco | Gnea: by which i mean, its like already being 18 months into an LTS release when it first gets released | 07:48 |
| ^Phantom^ | Also, maco, why doesn't apt-get ask me Y/N anymore when it tells me how much space will be used? | 07:49 |
| ^Phantom^ | It used to before <_< | 07:49 |
| maco | ^Phantom^: it only asks if there are extra packages being pulled in | 07:49 |
| ^Phantom^ | AH, okay, thank you | 07:49 |
| linoge | how can i make irssi play a sound (or stop auto-scrolling) when someone names me? | 07:49 |
| ^Phantom^ | that makes sense | 07:50 |
| mouzQ | привет всем) | 07:50 |
| maco | linoge: there are irssi libnotify scripts available onthe internet | 07:50 |
| maco | !ru | mouzQ | 07:50 |

| linoge | maco: i was searching for something else... i don't use libnotify | 07:53 |
| Zenger | AzbinTooty: thank you! =) | 07:53 |
| maco | linoge: you use the normal ubuntu notification thing? | 07:54 |
| linoge | maco: no | 07:54 |
| maco | linoge: because all its doing is using notify-send which should still send to ..... oh | 07:54 |
| linoge | maco: i don't use gnome | 07:54 |
| maco | you have no notification system whatsoever? | 07:54 |
| linoge | maco: i installed ubuntu-minimal then installed dwm | 07:54 |
| maco | linoge: kde? | 07:54 |
| maco | oh | 07:54 |
| maco | so...no notification system whatsoever. got it. | 07:55 |
| linoge | maco: ubuntu-minmal like the 12mb iso :) | 07:55 |
| shawn146 | is IMGburn a good burning software? | 07:55 |
| maco | linoge: yes i know the iso that lets you just open aptitude and hand-pick packages. its the only iso that will boot on my system that has a broken optical drive | 07:55 |
| linoge | maco: yep :D | 07:55 |
| linoge | maco: so, is there a way to do it? | 07:56 |
| shawn146 | ?? | 07:56 |
| maco | linoge: i have no idea. you're going to just have to search for irssi scripts. they're in perl. or cannabalise the libnotify one to ring the system bell | 07:56 |
| shawn146 | wow how long is erasing a dvd going to take? | 07:57 |

| linoge | maco: nah, i'll search the perl script, or do one myself, anyways, it shouldn't be so hard :) | 07:57 |
| maco | shawn146: probaby similar to the time it takes to burn | 07:57 |
| shawn146 | yea | 07:58 |

| sjskanth | shawn146: Can you remember any modifications you made | 08:33 |

| Moult | Caveman1234: the computer can connect to the internet, if that's any indication | 08:36 |
| seangrove | Hey all, fairly simple question I think - I'd like to grant a user permissions to 1.) create groups and 2.) create users, without invoking sudo and without making them root. What's the way to do this? | 08:36 |
| nikolasoddfellow | HISTO--I am trying to create launch links for carious web sites | 08:37 |
| Moult | Caveman1234: it's a problem with the remote computer by the way, my network setup is fine | 08:37 |
| wiseguyxp | nikolasoddfellow: In terminal, type 'cp ~/Desktop/www.google.com ~/Desktop/google_link.txt', then open the txt file and see if it has text in it. | 08:37 |
| saby | Moult, are both of them on lan or through internet ? | 08:37 |
| jlahti | iggers | 08:37 |
| jlahti | niggersw | 08:37 |
| Moult | saby: internet, and yes, i am pinging the ext. ip | 08:37 |
| jlahti | matafaka | 08:37 |
| jlahti | fucking gay | 08:37 |
| shawn146 | ok | 08:38 |
| seangrove | Do I have to make /etc/passwd writable by the user? | 08:38 |
| histo | !ohmy > jleroux | 08:38 |
| ubottu | jleroux, please see my private message | 08:38 |
| Caveman1234 | Moult: Router firewall then? some are setup to reject pings, also make sure the port(s) you want are open | 08:38 |
| histo | seangrove: what are you trying to do? | 08:38 |
| shawn146 | why don;t hear anything going on witht he dvd drive in my friends laptop, yet ubuntu's screen is just *loading* | 08:38 |

| seangrove | histo: I have an application that's should be programmatically creating a group and user per application that's running | 08:39 |
| YankDownUnder | Right-click desktop => Create Launcher => Type: Location => Name = Name => Location: http://whatever.com => close. | 08:39 |
| brunner | Okay, my system only boots properly with the nomodeset kernel parameter. What's the proper way to make it permanent? | 08:39 |
| === TokyoDan1_ is now known as TokyoDan1 | ||
| Moult | Caveman1234: i've had another computer there without any problems. and ports are open i think | 08:39 |
| seangrove | In this context "application" is a rails app I've deployed to the server | 08:39 |
| saby | brunner, add that in the gurb.cfg file | 08:39 |
| linoge | *grub.cfg | 08:40 |
| saby | ah thanx linoge :) | 08:40 |
| histo | seangrove: you're probably going to have to add the user to a group then visudo and give that group admin permisions without a passwd required etc... | 08:40 |
| brunner | saby, So it's okay to always boot linux with nomodeset? It won't cause a problem? | 08:40 |
| stanman246 | how do i clean a rw disc? | 08:40 |
| saby | brunner, yes it shouldnt give any problems. | 08:40 |
| seangrove | histo: That's totally reasonable - which permissions would I need to give them? | 08:40 |
| === taransvar is now known as franzce | ||
| brunner | okay, thank you! | 08:40 |
| franzce | hey guys is Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) a wubi? | 08:41 |
| wiseguyxp | seangrove: Admin privs are the same as giving them root/sudo access | 08:41 |
| Ten-Eight | nikolasoddfellow: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/563754/ this is what I get when I open a link in gedit. | 08:41 |
| seangrove | wiseguyxp: Ah, I'd like to just make it so the user can create users/groups | 08:42 |
| seangrove | But I effectively have to make it root? | 08:42 |
| histo | seangrove: pretty much | 08:42 |
| saby | franzce, yes you can get wubi installer to install ubuntu along with windows easily :) | 08:42 |
| seangrove | Uhg... | 08:42 |
| seangrove | I see a lot of problems with that... | 08:42 |
| wiseguyxp | seangrove: I think the way Ubuntu manages that is that it allows users in the admin group to create users. Admin users by default have sudo access. | 08:42 |
| saby | !wubi | franzce | 08:42 |
| ubottu | franzce: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe | 08:42 |
| histo | seangrove: is there a reason you need to do this? | 08:43 |
| franzce | saby: i would like to download that isnt a wubi | 08:43 |
| Caveman1234 | Moult: Well I think ICMP (Ping) uses port 7 if that helps, its just awkward trying to ping a computer behind a router. | 08:43 |
| histo | seangrove: sound more like a problem on the way you are trying to impliment something else. | 08:43 |
| saby | !10.10 | 08:43 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 | 08:43 |

| ubottu | saby, please see my private message | 08:43 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:43 |
| seangrove | histo: Yeah, it's part of an application I'm developing. I deploy an app, a new user for that app is created, a server process is kicked off that then changes process owner/group down to a specified target | 08:43 |

| Caveman1234 | What are some HDD Wiping solutions besides DBAN or a Hammer :P ? | 08:44 |
| kasad | guys, is it possible to create single LVM partition from sda5 and sdb1 without having to reinstall everything http://pastie.org/1536268 | 08:44 |
| seangrove | Multi-tenant stuff | 08:44 |
| histo | seangrove: what are you trying to create a sandboxed environment for the app? | 08:44 |
| seangrove | histo: Essentially, yeah | 08:44 |
| histo | seangrove: maybe look at chroot jailing etc... | 08:44 |
| seangrove | Is there a better way? | 08:44 |
| seangrove | Ah | 08:44 |
| histo | seangrove: so the app is sandboxed rather than givign that much power to a user that doesn't need to exist. | 08:45 |
| bc81 | Caveman1234: USE CAUTION WITH THIS COMMAND, shred -n 2 -z -v /dev/hda1 | 08:45 |
| seangrove | histo: That might be a good idea, yes | 08:45 |
| wiseguyxp | seangrove: I just checked and users in the admin group without sudo powers can't create users, so that idea's out. | 08:45 |
| bc81 | Caveman1234: IT WILL WIPE THE HDD | 08:45 |
| histo | Caveman1234: you could cat random numbers to the drive if you wanted. | 08:45 |
| histo | wiseguyxp: in ubuntu users in the admin group have sudo powers | 08:46 |
| seangrove | Thanks wiseguyxp, appreciate it | 08:46 |
| histo | seangrove: that wasn't what I was talking about. Adding them to the admin group wouldn't help. | 08:46 |
| Caveman1234 | bc81: I thought shred didn't work on journaled file systems ext4 etc? | 08:46 |
| wiseguyxp | histo: Right, but without using the sudo command, they still can't make users, even though they are in the admin group. I was thinking that a user could be put in the admin group, but denied sudo powers, but it doesn't work like that. | 08:46 |
| Caveman1234 | histo: where from? /dev/random? | 08:47 |
| histo | seangrove: If you wanted to do it the dirty way you could create a new group then give that group certain sudo permissions with visudo. But I think you should search on chroot and jailing | 08:47 |
| histo | Caveman1234: yeah. But why not just use dban? | 08:47 |
| seangrove | histo: Yeah, I'll look into chroot | 08:47 |
| zairo | hi. ssl. firefox show popup for certificate but when i click on it show error 404. any ideas? | 08:47 |
| === q_a_z_steve1 is now known as q_a_z_steve | ||
| seangrove | A quick question about it, will symlinks from outside the jail still work? | 08:47 |
| Caveman1234 | histo: It takes forever! sometimes. | 08:47 |
| seangrove | They need to access several socket files usually | 08:47 |
| histo | wiseguyxp: no they'd have to be in root group | 08:47 |
| histo | Caveman1234: its just writes 0's to the drive. | 08:48 |
| histo | Caveman1234: or randome numbers I can't remember. But it's goign to take just as long with any other solution. | 08:48 |
| bc81 | Caveman1234: best way to be sure is run info coreutils 'shred invocation' and read it | 08:48 |
| rumpe1 | Caveman1234, for very much random values, use /dev/urandrom | 08:48 |
| wiseguyxp | seangrove: I don't think symlinks would work across the barrier. | 08:48 |
| Caveman1234 | rumpe1: thanks, didnt know that | 08:48 |
| wiseguyxp | seangrove: The point of the chroot is that they're jailed to their sandbox. | 08:48 |
| Caveman1234 | bc81: Nice tip | 08:49 |
| === TokyoDan1 is now known as TokyoDan | ||
| MaDCaTz2 | testing | 08:49 |
| wiseguyxp | seangrove: I think you could make a symlink TO a point in the chroot from outside, but not from the chroot to a point outside of the chroot. | 08:49 |
| histo | Caveman1234: I think there is also an app called wipe provided by some package | 08:49 |
| MaDCaTz2 | testing | 08:50 |
| histo | !info wipe | Caveman1234 | 08:50 |
| kasad | http://pastie.org/1536268 can i create single LVM partition from sda5 and sdb1 without losing my data | 08:50 |
| ubottu | Caveman1234: wipe (source: wipe): Secure file deletion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.21-9 (maverick), package size 42 kB, installed size 136 kB | 08:50 |
| Niglop | im trying to play different types of videos on VLC AND GNOME MPLAYER but both only play audio and not video, how can I fix it? | 08:50 |
| seangrove | wiseguyxp: That makes sense, reading about it now, but sadly that makes it unlikely to work | 08:50 |
| MaDCaTz2 | Lthis | 08:50 |
| rumpe1 | Caveman1234, btw.. shred works on ext3/4 unless it's mounted with the non-default parameter "data=journal (mode)"... | 08:50 |
| kasad | !info lvm | 08:51 |
| ubottu | Package lvm does not exist in maverick | 08:51 |
| wiseguyxp | seangrove: There has to be another way to do it. I'm way too tired to think it through right now, but I believe your design could be altered in a way that would limit security holes and accomplish the same task. I'm just not sure of all of the specifics. | 08:51 |
| seangrove | wiseguyxp: I'm happy to hear that it seems possible :) It's not a problem that has to be solved tonight anyway | 08:52 |
| MaDCaTz | list | 08:52 |
| seangrove | I'll just revert a few commits, take the user management out for now | 08:52 |
| Niglop | anyone? | 08:52 |
| merma | siron: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=archbang | 08:52 |
| wiseguyxp | seangrove: Perhaps consider posting on some forums where people will be able to see the problem in its entirety. | 08:52 |
| kasad | so, anyone who can give me few tips about LVM? | 08:53 |
| linoge | Niglop: you have to describe better your problem | 08:53 |
| Niglop | linoge: i try to play .avi files in VLC and MPLAYER and they only play audio not vide | 08:53 |
| Niglop | video* | 08:53 |
| Caveman1234 | rumpe1: Thanks, yeah I think I'm gonna go with shred then, it's not sensitive info. | 08:53 |
| linoge | Niglop: do you have the packages required to see that video format? | 08:54 |
| Niglop | linoge: not sure :s? | 08:54 |
| Niglop | linoge: which packages | 08:54 |
| wiseguyxp | Niglop: ubuntu-restricted-extras is a good start | 08:55 |
| linoge | Niglop: yes | 08:55 |
| Niglop | wiseguyxp: E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-restricted-extras | 08:55 |
| wiseguyxp | Niglop: Have you run 'apt-get update' yet? | 08:56 |
| Niglop | yes | 08:56 |
| wiseguyxp | Niglop: Then you might not have the right repository enabled. | 08:56 |
| linoge | thought vlc should play video files just right | 08:56 |
| Niglop | wiseguyxp: how can i fix it | 08:56 |
| linoge | Niglop: have you tried resetting your vlc settings to default? | 08:57 |
| Niglop | linoge: yes | 08:57 |
| siron | merma: super, thanks! May have a look at. | 08:57 |
| linoge | Niglop: this is weird | 08:58 |
| wiseguyxp | Niglop: It's in the multiverse repos... I'm looking up how to enable them. | 08:58 |
| Niglop | wiseguyxp: thanks | 08:58 |
| zetheroo | so reinstalled 10.10 and still am getting heavy-duty Flash issues with any Flash video streaming off the web | 08:58 |
| Niglop | wiseguyxp: i think i got the deb, one sec | 08:59 |
| linoge | Niglop: do you have the required packages for vlc? | 08:59 |
| wiseguyxp | Niglop: Go to System>Update Manager>Settings. Under the 'Ubuntu Software' tab, make sure 'Software restricted by copyright or legal issues (multiverse)' is checked. | 08:59 |
| histo | Caveman1234: also a single pass is effective enough | 09:00 |
| zetheroo | is there anything I can do to fix this issue? | 09:00 |
| histo | Caveman1234: when wiping that is. | 09:00 |
| Caveman1234 | histo: Thanks. | 09:00 |
| Infrid64 | hi guys | 09:00 |
| Infrid64 | I'm tring to configure emacs, but .emacs is a direcotry, and not a file... | 09:01 |
| histo | Caveman1234: all the people that say you need more than one pass are crazy. They all cite articals that are from a theoretical paper that was never tested. | 09:01 |
| histo | Caveman1234: Even the DoD bought in to this 6 pass thing with dban. | 09:01 |
| zetheroo | would getting a dedicated gfx card help sort this Flash issue out? | 09:01 |

| zetheroo | histo: so it's not an issue of "flash on Linux" ... at least not only ... | 09:02 |
| Karen_m | I have ntpd running, and I notice one of the side-effects is that the stepping forward/backwards will affect my microtime() computations. Is there a way to account for the steps .. or should I just disable ntpd? | 09:03 |
| zetheroo | histo: mine is 64bit and hers is 32bit | 09:03 |
| Caveman1234 | histo: Yeah id say most people wouldn't spend years reading 0s and 1s from an electron microscope | 09:03 |
| histo | zetheroo: I would try flash squared on the 64bit machine. You will see some great improvements. | 09:03 |
| zetheroo | histo: so maybe I should have installed 32bit!? | 09:03 |
| histo | Caveman1234: exactly | 09:03 |
| Cpt_Zyph | anyone here use irssi irc client.. im trying to figure out how to enable logging or .. if i wish to just save a session i was in have it just save the current session.. | 09:03 |

| zetheroo | histo: squared? | 09:03 |
| histo | zetheroo: they have 64bit flash | 09:03 |
| Cpt_Zyph | i have logged in the default folder according to the irssi home page for log files but find none | 09:03 |
| histo | zetheroo: flash squared. You can download it from adobe labs | 09:04 |
| zetheroo | histo: well I did not even install flash manually on this install ... | 09:04 |
| histo | zetheroo: let me get you linkage | 09:04 |

| Cpt_Zyph | Us3r_Unfriendly im using the irc client irssi .. but its not making log files.. at times (mostly work - wifi connection drops and my client dies but i get DC'd and can't scroll back up as im through a ssh putty terminal) so i was hoping to get logging enabled or something | 09:07 |
| histo | zetheroo: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html | 09:07 |
| histo | zetheroo: there it is | 09:07 |

| dividedby0zero | anyone recognize this program? http://i.imgur.com/fo0Yg.png | 09:08 |
| twitch | Cpt_Zyph: why dont you use screen so if your ssh connection drops irssi stays up | 09:08 |

| dividedby0zero | the connection program | 09:08 |
| dividedby0zero | http://i.imgur.com/fo0Yg.png | 09:08 |
| zetheroo | histo: ok ... so I download the plugin for 64-bit Linux ... | 09:08 |
| twitch | ohh the client wont let you scroll up | 09:08 |
| Cpt_Zyph | twitch sometimes its on a windos client | 09:08 |
| histo | zetheroo: yeapers | 09:08 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Cpt_Zyph: there should be a /etc/irssi.conf and a ~/.irssi | 09:08 |
| histo | Cpt_Zyph: scrollback in temrinal or irssi? | 09:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Cpt_Zyph: the ~/.irssi is where you want to look | 09:09 |

| zetheroo | histo: how do I make sure that my current flash is completely gone? | 09:09 |
| dividedby0zero | is it a made up movie terminal program or is it real? | 09:09 |

| histo | zetheroo: remove the flash package yo uinstalled. and then check after restarting the browser the about:plugins page | 09:10 |
| twitch | !screen | Cpt_Zyph | 09:10 |
| ubottu | Cpt_Zyph: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 09:10 |
| twitch | that's what i meant by screen | 09:10 |
| histo | zetheroo: I would dpkg -l | grep flash | 09:10 |
| histo | zetheroo: that will give you all the packages with flash installed and I would purge those packages. | 09:10 |
| Cpt_Zyph | nod when im on linux i use screen when im on windows i can't | 09:10 |
| wiseguyxp | Niglop: And you've tried the files on other setups and it works? | 09:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Cpt_Zyph: wee-chat is like irssi...and by default creates a log file | 09:10 |
| Niglop | yes wiseguyxp they do | 09:10 |
| Cpt_Zyph | so project started due to frequent winblows problems at work and lead to me not seeing logging enabled for my main system which i wanted to get started with | 09:11 |
| zetheroo | histo: is purge the same as Complete Removal? | 09:11 |
| histo | zetheroo: if it still is showing up in firefox. Then look in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or something like that. You can locate flash | 09:11 |
| twitch | Cpt_Zyph: ahh i get ya .. sry mis understood | 09:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Cpt_Zyph: that's your keyboard shortcuts on ubuntu | 09:11 |
| histo | zetheroo: yeah uninstalls and removes the configs | 09:11 |
| histo | Cpt_Zyph: I use screen | 09:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Cpt_Zyph: that's why the print key does that | 09:11 |
| Cpt_Zyph | Us3r_Unfriendly i see.. ill have to check that out.. may i ask you what you thinkthe key differances are between the 2 and or why you use one over the other | 09:11 |
| histo | Cpt_Zyph: I use putty to ssh to my box that I have irssi running on. Then I screen -r to reattach irssi | 09:11 |
| histo | Cpt_Zyph: look how long i've been logged in irc | 09:12 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | wee-chat looks more colorful, easier to read. Irssi is faster i think. both are almost identical in my book but have their features | 09:12 |
| histo | Cpt_Zyph: i got reconencted on the 5th | 09:12 |
| Cpt_Zyph | histo i can't use putty to connect at work its blocked but i have a putty install with a irssi bat that works for the windows machine that has the drop wifi connection issues | 09:12 |
| wiseguyxp | Niglop: The problem is that avis can be encoded by any one of a large number of codecs, so you don't always know what you're working with. I'm pretty surprised that VLC can't play them regardless. | 09:12 |
| zetheroo | histo: and what if I have no "plugins" directory in .mozilla/firefox/ ? | 09:12 |
| Niglop | wiseguyxp: its divx | 09:12 |
| histo | zetheroo: there is a systemwide plugins directory | 09:12 |
| histo | zetheroo: I thik /usr/lib/mozzila/plugins or /lib/mozilla/plugins or soemthing | 09:13 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Cpt_Zyph: i actually use both...I don't know why, but i do | 09:13 |
| Cpt_Zyph | sry let me back track im well aware of screen sessions and i use them quite often, my windows problem made me notice that i didn't have lgo files enabled for anything what so ever realted to irssi so i was just trying to figure that problem out on my main machiens as log files can be useful for notes and such as im still learning a ton | 09:13 |
| histo | zetheroo: locate plugins will show it. | 09:13 |
| wiseguyxp | Niglop: I'm pretty sure that the restricted extras cover divx. | 09:13 |
| Niglop | wiseguyxp: i have it installed but its still not working | 09:14 |
| histo | Cpt_Zyph: well system stuff will be logged. If you want irssi logged let me check on that | 09:14 |
| Cpt_Zyph | Us3r_Unfriendly .. ok .. may i ask you why you use both.. does one tend to be a preferance and one a client you started with and just still use from time to time?? if they are similar etc etc just wondering any feed back would be helpfull thx | 09:14 |
| Niglop | wiseguyxp: maybe its something i accidently unninstalled earlier because they were working lastnight | 09:14 |
| Karen_m | bashelina, in php.. I call microtime(true), and it gets the time. Ubuntu has ntpd running and constantly syncs the clock so it never gets out of whack... but it steps forward/backwards depending on the remote clock, this ends up effecting my script timing... | 09:14 |
| twitch | Cpt_Zyph: you should just change the port sshd runs on so you can bypass the firewall restriction at work .. like change the sshd port to 9658 | 09:14 |

| Niglop | thanks for trying | 09:16 |
| wiseguyxp | Niglop: No problem. | 09:16 |
| brunner | service *something* *something* | 09:16 |
| zetheroo | histo: ok Firefox says that I have 10,3,162,29 installed ... does that sound right? | 09:16 |
| Cpt_Zyph | Moult ill try but i doubt it will be effective.. to comply with the US network / hipa policies they get worked on by a few 10000's network security consultants and are fairly locked down | 09:16 |
| histo | zetheroo: yeah | 09:16 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Cpt_Zyph: i'd say that if your looking for a cli irc client i'd seriously recommend wee-chat, seeing that ppl everywhere rav about it being the best cli one out there. I personally think irssi and wee-chat are about the same with their little differences. I still use both seeing that i didn't uninstall the other, and i use the one my fingers type out first if that makes sence | 09:16 |
| Moult | Cpt_Zyph: i think it's your best bet nonetheless | 09:16 |

| residentgrey | lol | 09:18 |
| Cpt_Zyph | well im in the ~/.irssi/config file still not finding the default entry for logging i must of over looked it but thanks for the direction once i find the right line of code im sure simply adding it to the crap bat file for the winblows machine will enable the same such feture | 09:18 |

| sysadm1977 | Anyone able to assist with a linux find command query..? pm me. | 09:35 |
| zephlit | so for chmod ugo +- wrx ... if a user is assigned to multiple groups, which groups are he assigning permissions to? all of them? | 09:35 |
| simar | Which software should i use for editing (say highlighting and adding text) and creating pdf documents... similar to adobe acrobat | 09:36 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sysadm1977: i can | 09:36 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sysadm1977: what's up? | 09:36 |
| maco | zephlit: the user's groups do not matter. the *file*'s group ownership is what matters | 09:36 |
| zephlit | ohh i see, thanks maco. so can files only be owned by 1 group? | 09:37 |
| maco | zephlit: yes | 09:37 |
| === Guest14562 is now known as ogra | ||
| maco | simar: adobe acrobat in wine? | 09:38 |
| maco | simar: if you just needed to add/remove/move pages, id say pdfshuffler | 09:38 |
| zephlit | okay, so i might have made a mistake when creating a user... are all users in ubuntu supposed to be assigned to their own respective username's group? and then you add them to whatever other groups you want ... or do i just delete that group and then add | 09:38 |
| zephlit | because i forgot to specify a group in the adduser line | 09:39 |
| maco | zephlit: yes they are | 09:39 |
| maco | zephlit: and then users can be in more than one group | 09:39 |
| maco | zephlit: to which you are welcome to add them | 09:39 |
| simar | maco, thanks but does that work fine .. i have a intution that my system will slow down after i install wine.. | 09:39 |
| simar | maco, have you used it .. in wine?? | 09:39 |
| maco | simar: no i dont use wine since i dont use proprietary windows applications | 09:40 |
| maco | simar: but wine being explicitly not an emulator, it should be no slower than a native application (and is frequently reported to be a good deal faster than running an application natively on windows) | 09:40 |
| zephlit | i see... so i'm setting up a LAMP stack for the very first time- and doing hosting by myself for the very first time. is there any security tips someone can give me other than iptables and making a new user to do everything in (locking out root from ssh)? | 09:40 |
| simar | maco, ok i will try it .. thanks.. | 09:41 |

| Starminn | Us3r_Unfriendly: Alright, Well again this ISO file is on my hard disk, on the same partition, on my hard drive, internally. But let me get this done first. :) | 10:28 |
| chilli0 | Us3r_Unfriendly, Mine doesn't find a partition it doesn't show anything. | 10:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Starminn: cool | 10:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | chilli0: it should | 10:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | chilli0: did you follow that video? | 10:29 |
| chilli0 | Yes. | 10:29 |
| chilli0 | It says this,Partition sector doesn't have the endmark 0xAA55 | 10:29 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | chilli0: you might have to put on a partition to get your stuff back. I know that sounds like horrible advice, but was tested in that video | 10:30 |
| chilli0 | Us3r_Unfriendly, won't that screw up my data? | 10:30 |
| Starminn | Us3r_Unfriendly: The variable that the tutorial you gave me said to change does not exist. | 10:30 |
| snap | is possible install ubuntu server in partition row, if first there are other system? | 10:30 |
| llutz_ | chilli0: NEVER create a partition or something on a device you want to recover. make an image of that drive and only work with this image. | 10:31 |
| chilli0 | llutz_ I can't do that :( , I don't have any other hard drives big enough to hold 1tb | 10:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Starminn: ubuntu-tweak will too work, it might be alot less of a headache as well | 10:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | chilli0: what does sudo fdisk -l and gparted say? | 10:33 |
| snap | is possible install ubuntu server in partition row, if first there are other system? | 10:33 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | does it show a partition? | 10:33 |
| chilli0 | Us3r_Unfriendly, It shows no parition, just a blank drive | 10:33 |
| rsh | Us3r_Unfriendly, what r requirements of minimal lucid lynks and can i use wvdial in it? | 10:34 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | chilli0: your going to need a partition for it to work. I don't recommend reinstalling windows or linux on it. i've used the method in the video and it worked | 10:35 |
| llutz_ | chilli0: you might try "gpart" (not gparted) to recover your partition, but its dangerous and you risk to lose your data | 10:35 |
| chilli0 | Us3r_Unfriendly, It didn't have a os on it. just was an external hard drive | 10:35 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | rsh: i'm running arch and ubuntu 10.10. i'm guessing anything over a i686 will work | 10:36 |
| rsh | i've 512 ram i386 | 10:36 |
| chilli0 | llutz_ how long does it take to run? | 10:36 |
| llutz_ | chilli0: idk | 10:37 |
| llutz_ | chilli0: scanning a 1TB drive for signatures could take a while i guess | 10:37 |
| chilli0 | The other one I tried, the testdisk was going to take 10h + | 10:37 |
| Starminn | frederik: Where do you see the option to do that in Ubuntu-Tweak? | 10:37 |
| llutz_ | chilli0: and whats the problem with that? if you are in a hurry, go and restore your backup | 10:38 |

| snap | Us3r_Unfriendly: i have free space to partition | 10:38 |
| chilli0 | llutz_, Yeah I am in a hurry, and I don't have a back up. I don't have the space to run a backup on this. It's just movies and T.V however I need three files of it for tomorrow at school ( three movies for an assignment) | 10:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sudo find / -iname "*.mp3" -exec mplayer "{}" "+" will work better but it's vice versa the mplayer command | 10:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | snap: ?? | 10:40 |
| llutz_ | chilli0: simple thing: no backup = no valuable data | 10:40 |
| llutz_ | chilli0: you don'thave many choices to get your data back | 10:40 |
| chilli0 | llutz_ 1tb of movies and t.v is quite valuable. | 10:40 |

| ychaouche | slosargento, can you list /dev/cdrom ? | 10:42 |

| ychaouche | slosargento, are you familiar with terminals and command line ? | 10:42 |
| slosargento | ychaouche, not really | 10:42 |
| Starminn | Us3r_Unfriendly: Option doesn't exist. Alright, so I'll just give up on that and move on the the VirtualBox whenever you're free (i.e. not helping 3 other peaopl simoultaneously :D ) | 10:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | chilli0: trolling. llutz_ is giving you advice. maybe get another drive | 10:43 |
| llutz_ | chilli0: you'd thought about that before. Drives will fail, just a matter of time | 10:43 |
| chilli0 | The hard drive says it has no bad sectors... and it can't find any partitions. And the drive is only 6 months old | 10:43 |

| ychaouche | slosargento, open a terminal and type ls /dev/cdrom just to check if it's there | 10:43 |
| slosargento | ychaouche, it says no such file or directory | 10:44 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Starminn: it should be working already if you added yourself to the vbox user group and rebooted. you might have to do some extra settings in vbox though | 10:45 |
| ychaouche | slosargento, your system is messed up | 10:45 |

Is the prescription patience or is there something I can do to stop it and reinstall? It's been stuck for about 5 minutes now which is unusual | 11:02 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Starminn: lol i have that edition too | 11:03 |
| Starminn | Us3r_Unfriendly: No idea what that means. | 11:03 |
| YankDownUnder | howoriginalAU, Paitence, first and foremost. | 11:03 |
| howoriginalAU | but 5 minutes? | 11:03 |
| YankDownUnder | howoriginalAU, Close any browser windows that are opened.... | 11:04 |
| howoriginalAU | It usually takes less than 1 minute to install flash | 11:04 |
| howoriginalAU | YankDownUnder: Don't have any browser windows open | 11:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Starminn: start the xp virtualmachine | 11:04 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | then when the window pops up go to the "Device" tab and cd/dvd drive | 11:04 |

| howoriginalAU | YankDownUnder: remember I'm new to this, so leaving out the condescending tone would be preferable :) | 11:07 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: does your computer boot from the Ubuntu CD? Do you see a Ubuntu boot menu? | 11:07 |
| Starminn | Brian: Try Defragging your Windows drive. My Windows messed up me being able to install Linux so I had to defrag it. | 11:07 |

| julian | hi everyone. i have xubuntu 10.10 running on a toshiba satellite pro laptop with an i3 cpu. as the i3 supports 4 parallel threads (2 cores, each emulating 2 virtual ones, i think), i always had 4 cores displayed in my "cpu graph" and in /proc/cpuinfo. now i just noticed, there are'nt 4 cores displayed anymore, but only two. the update history (synaptic) says there weren't any kernel upgrades... | 11:13 |
| julian | ...or something else cpu-related. everything runs fine, doesn't seem to be broken hardware at all ... could there be another reason? (didn't change the bios either btw.) | 11:14 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | later Starminn .....same here | 11:14 |
| [4-tea-2] | Are there any working alternatives to tracker? | 11:14 |
| Brian_ | well guess yall are sorta too busy right now to help me | 11:15 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: I tried to, you ignored me. | 11:15 |
| howoriginalAU | Lol | 11:15 |
| Brian_ | oh i didnt see y atext | 11:15 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: does your computer boot from the Ubuntu CD? Do you see a Ubuntu boot menu? | 11:15 |
| Brian_ | nope | 11:15 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: then either you have a problem writing CDs or your computer needs to be told to try booting from CDROM. | 11:16 |
| Brian_ | mmm well boots fine before with other programs | 11:17 |
| Brian_ | i burned a cdrom maybe i burned it wrong | 11:17 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: if the application you burned that CD with allows it, try burning with verification. | 11:18 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: it should write the CD, then read it and compare it to the original iso file. That should tell you if the CD is okay. | 11:18 |
| Brian_ | well it looks all intact | 11:19 |
| nicofs | I need to install IE onto my system - but the installation of ies4linux doesn't work... what can i do? | 11:19 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: well, then you should get an Ubuntu menu on bootup. If you don't, it ain't. | 11:19 |
| Brian_ | maybe the os wont install with win 7 | 11:20 |
| unixhacker91 | Brian_: How do I connect Ubuntu to my wireless router? | 11:20 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: you might want to double check the "boot order" settings in your BIOS, make sure CDROM has higher priority than your windows boot medium (usually the first hard disk). | 11:20 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: while booting, your computer has no idea yet that there's a Win7 on the system, so, no, that is not the problem. | 11:21 |
| Brian_ | how i change the bios | 11:21 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: if you don't know, please ask a friend. You should not touch BIOS settings, you might end up with a computer that won't boot at all. | 11:22 |
| Brian_ | lol thats true | 11:22 |
| [4-tea-2] | Brian_: there are solutions to install Ubuntu without touching the BIOS. Google for "wubi" (I think). | 11:23 |
| [4-tea-2] | unixhacker91: that's usually done using the network-manager. Check the status icons in the upper right of your desktop (in the panel), there should be a network icon. | 11:25 |

| erUSUL | leona: you browse via ubuntu normal file explorer. you do not need to use the wine explorere to do the install | 11:43 |
| leona | erusul: meaning after i install photoshop, will it automatically appear under application? | 11:43 |
| erUSUL | leona: yes it should | 11:44 |

| erUSUL | inki: no the gui does not use /etc/network/interfaces. what is exactly the problem ypu are seing ? | 11:49 |
| Ascavasaion | jenia: Not sure, but I had that on an older computer and the card was unable to do the effects. | 11:50 |
| thrope | anyone can help with drive not showing up in 10.10 installer? | 11:50 |
| erUSUL | jenia: some people install the fusion-icon and add it to the startup apps | 11:51 |
| bc81 | jenia: when you are about to log in, you can try choosing a nother session maybe | 11:51 |
| inki | erUSUL: I would create eth0 in the gui, but /etc/network/interfaces stays untouched | 11:51 |
| erUSUL | inki: as i said it is normal. Network Manager does *not* use /etc/network/interfaces | 11:52 |
| erUSUL | inki: if you want to use /etc/network/interfaces you have to edit it by hand | 11:52 |
| bc81 | jenia: or what erUSUL said but create a startup application with the command 'compiz --replace' | 11:52 |
| inki | erUSUL: I misread :-) | 11:53 |
| jenia | bc81: that's right, I didn't think about it. :) | 11:53 |

| erUSUL | inki: tell it to use the one you want | 11:59 |

| inki | it sets it so 0.0.0.0 when I save | 12:00 |
| erUSUL | inki: are you sure? can you show me the screenshot of the ipv4 tab in the edit connection dialog? | 12:01 |
| danboid | Whats supposed to be the advantage of Unity? To me it just looks like canonical are trying to further turn GNOME into OSX | 12:01 |
| inki | would be a lot of work to get this screenshot | 12:01 |
| rumpe1 | danboid, e.g. for touchscreens | 12:01 |
| erUSUL | inki: you choose "manual" add the three ip's in the first row ( ip netmask and gw ); add dns if needed and click apply ? | 12:02 |
| inki | erUSUL: the gateway is from a different network, could this be the problem? | 12:02 |
| simion314 | bc81: thx i will try it | 12:02 |
| inki | erUSUL: exactly - 192.168.212.219, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.213.2 (yes, the gw is from 192.168.213) | 12:02 |

| inki | might be worth a shot | 12:03 |
| bc81 | simion314: ok, good luck :-) | 12:03 |

| raisin_ | so I can't decrypt it either. | 12:35 |
| juk | Fallen_Demon: might be too, grub issue then, they updated it i think | 12:35 |

| xgt001 | my bluetooth icon is greyed out | 12:36 |
| erUSUL | unixhacker91: you have been given an answer already | 12:36 |
| erUSUL | !repeat | 12:36 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 12:36 |
| xgt001 | i cant use my bluetooth adapter | 12:36 |
| raisin_ | And in order to retrive my passphrase, I need to be in the same installation as the folder itself. | 12:36 |
| raisin_ | help me! | 12:36 |
| raisin_ | And that installation is not running because of the earlier mentioned problem | 12:36 |
| erUSUL | raisin_: what passphrase? | 12:37 |
| Fallen_Demon | juk I remembered I had lucid installed on netbook | 12:37 |
| Fallen_Demon | Have just copied everything across and installed the usb-creator package | 12:37 |
| Fallen_Demon | Should work now, thanks | 12:37 |
| raisin_ | I am new to ubuntu man, but the ways i have tried, all are easy | 12:38 |
| raisin_ | that is through a pen drive or a live cd | 12:38 |

| Fallen_Demon | We'll find out in a few minutes | 12:38 |
| luckymurali | any other solution | 12:39 |
| raisin_ | erUSUL : In the start of the ubuntu installation it gives you a passphrase to write down which it uses to encrypt the private folder of your comp | 12:39 |
| sagaci | << | 12:39 |

| raisin_ | you need it later if you get stuck like I just got. | 12:39 |
| erUSUL | !terminal | midhuno | 12:39 |
| ubottu | midhuno: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 12:39 |
| midhuno | k | 12:39 |
| raisin_ | NO. | 12:40 |
| raisin_ | I think it's easier if someone could just tell me how to connect to unsecured wifi through recovery console | 12:40 |
| raisin_ | then I could just reinstall my gnome desktop | 12:40 |
| xgt001 | hey in my ubuntu pc ..bluetooth icon remains greyed out it shows only one option turn bluetooth on or off | 12:40 |

| Travis-42 | erUSUL, sigh ok thanks, that's what I've been doing but it happens to me about once per day | 12:43 |
| minimec | xgt001: What did you change? System upgrade, simple update? Do you have any hardware button for Bluetooth. Could it be combined with the wifi on/off hardware button? | 12:43 |
| raisin_ | oh! | 12:43 |
| erUSUL | Travis-42: then a big bug is affecting the app that gets stuck... or you are doing something wrong | 12:43 |
| raisin_ | ok. I will give it all a try... | 12:43 |
| unixhacker91 | raisin_: In Ubuntu 9.04, how do I mount different folders of the same partitions to different folders? | 12:44 |
| Travis-42 | erUSUL, yea, I think the app has a bug, not blaming linux, but I need the app :-) | 12:44 |
| raisin_ | Thanks a lot. | 12:44 |
| xgt001 | i dint change anything in liveboot it worked fine | 12:44 |
| xgt001 | but when i installed it and restarted it greyed out | 12:44 |

| howoriginalAU | raisin_: I don't think simply reinstalling your gnome desktop is going to solve your problem of accessing your encrypted home folder? | 12:44 |
| duncan_ | researcher1, I have an idea that people have had trouble getting the HP printer service to start. Let me just look that up. | 12:45 |
| raisin_ | unixhacker91_: I don't know | 12:45 |
| erUSUL | unixhacker91: first 9.04 version is eol ( not supported anymore ) second you can use mount --bind to do what you want | 12:45 |

| luckymurali | any other solution pls | 12:46 |
| minimec | midhuno: Did it work with ubuntu before. What did you change before you realized that it is not working. COuld it be a simple usb error. Did you try to do a 'cold' boot of your machine and then plug the dongle? | 12:46 |
| luckymurali | jussi,i am getting elf class32 error when i am giving the cmd sudo apt-get install --reinstall libstdc++6 | 12:47 |

| luckymurali | no | 12:48 |
| midhuno | minimec what is cold booting?? | 12:48 |
| luckymurali | but i deleted that .so file | 12:48 |
| researcher1 | duncan_: i have installled hplip-cups | 12:48 |
| sipior | luckymurali: what necessitated reinstalling libstdc++? | 12:48 |
| sipior | luckymurali: wait. which .so file? | 12:48 |
| duncan_ | researcher1, have a look at the two HP related entries here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers | 12:49 |
| luckymurali | i deleted that libstdc++.so.6 file | 12:49 |
| researcher1 | duncan_: my printer is installed but when I give any command it just says "Job submitted" | 12:49 |
| duncan_ | researcher1, okay, if that's installed then I suggest you look at those two pages and see if there's any help there. | 12:49 |

| luckymurali | no not able to goto synaptic manager also | 12:50 |
| midhuno | any body please help me my vlc player not opening | 12:50 |
| minimec | midhuno: Did you do an upgrade to 10.10, or is that a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10? 'Cold' booting would mean that you stop the machine and wait like 5-10 seconds before putting it on again. Do that and let it boot normally. Then plug the bluetooth dongle, open a console and type dmesg in it. The last 5-7 lines should give you info about your Bluetooth dongle. | 12:50 |
| duncan_ | researcher1, I know the problem, I've had it once as well for a period. I think it was something about the service for the HP printers not starting at boot - but I can't find a reference to that problem just now. | 12:50 |
| RainyDay | how can i see which processes use open ports? | 12:51 |
| minimec | midhuno: You could then pastebin.com us the result of dmesg --> at least the last 5-7 lines. | 12:51 |
| midhuno | minimec: i freshly inslatted 10.10 | 12:51 |

| luckymurali | yes | 12:52 |
| duncan_ | researcher1, does your school not have a support contract with someone? That might be faster. | 12:52 |
| unixhacker91 | luckymurali: In Ubuntu 9.04, how do I mount different folders of the same partitions to different folders? | 12:52 |
| minimec | midhuno: OK. So you don't have any old lucid kernel on that machine (2.6.32) | 12:52 |
| researcher1 | duncan_: everybody wants Windows n I insist on OpenSource.Hence I have 2 prove that it works well too | 12:52 |
| midhuno | minimec: i dont know i am new to linux i dont know exactly what kernel is?? | 12:53 |

| luckymurali | sipior, I dont have that package | 12:54 |
| luckymurali | not able to download also | 12:54 |
| midhuno | minimec: how to use pastebin?? | 12:54 |
| minimec | midhuno: Doesn't matter now. Please try that 'cold' boot thing, plug in the dongle afterwards and paste.ubuntu.com us the last 5-7 lines of 'dmesg' in a console. | 12:54 |
| sipior | luckymurali: it's probably still in /var/cache/apt/archives. have a look there. | 12:54 |
| minimec | midhuno: copy/paste results i paste.ubuntu.com, and give us the link, where we can find your output. | 12:55 |
| duncan_ | researcher1, Windows fails too sometimes! Don't we know it! Remember to remind them that HP deleops drivers for Windows - but lets the community write them for Linux - HP should contribute more to make their hardware work in linux. | 12:55 |

| duncan_ | researcher1, maybe you can answer my problem - what's the prefered way to automount an internal partition in 10.10? | 12:58 |
| minimec | midhuno: You have some USB problems. Are there some other USB devices plugged on that machine right now? | 12:58 |
| midhuno | minimec: no only the bluetooth dongle is der | 12:59 |
| researcher1 | duncan_: does it not mount automatically by default? | 12:59 |
| duncan_ | researcher1, that should have read 'hp-toolbox' once it installs you can run it from the command line and see what it can help with. | 12:59 |
| stevomanu | yo all | 13:00 |
| duncan_ | researcher1, no it doesn't - I've never worked out why. it's in the places menu so I can mount it when I want to, but I want it to always be mounted at boot time. I have the impression that editing fstab is not the way any more. | 13:00 |

| minimec | midhuno: THat is not a good sign. I do not know now, if this is kernel related, but I do guess so. I would try another kernel version, not a (2.6.35) one, but another one. | 13:01 |

| midhuno | Dr_Willis: i dont know nw i can't open the vlc player...in mplayer the videos are not working...but smplayer works normally | 13:16 |
| minimec | midhuno: Imho I would try to use this kernel http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/any/linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic first, before you do other things. You will have to install that one. Otherwise I will not be able to continue with my debbuging concept. If you want me to help you, you need to update your kernel. | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis | darthmouth: thats not a supported ubuntu variant. You need to find the Ultiamte 'linux' support channel | 13:16 |
| Pici | darthmouth: Ubuntu Ultimate is not a supported variant of Ubuntu in this channel. | 13:16 |
| sipior | aurilliance: does "sudo -i" work? | 13:16 |

| Pici | drizt: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide or #ubuntu-packaging or if those don't help you could try #ubuntu-motu | 13:20 |

| jenia | when I start compiz, titlebar on windows becomes invisible. It doesn't disappear, just becomes invisible. I can drag the window by that invisible space and to the right, there are 3 standard buttons: minimize, maximize and close. When I switch back to gtk window manager, the title bar becomes normal, how can I fix it? | 13:22 |
| midhuno | minimec: but seriously my system will hang after update | 13:23 |
| leonard_ | i am serious | 13:23 |
| juk | leonard_: sorry it's buggy just tested failed | 13:23 |
| minimec | midhuno: You system will just get the newest versions of the software. Your old kernel will still be there. There will be just another one added. Your system should boot without problems. | 13:25 |
| midhuno | minimec:can i boot with the old kernel if some problem occurs with new one?? | 13:26 |
| minimec | midhuno: Exactly. If the new kernel does not solve the problem, we can even try to use a lucid 10.04 kernel on a 10.10 system, if we wanted. | 13:27 |
| lieuwe | juk: i had my firewall blocking port 25 :P | 13:28 |

| lieuwe | juk: now it gives "Relay access denied" | 13:29 |
| juk | lieuwe: also check if port 25 forwarded in router | 13:29 |
| minimec | midhuno: Exactly. Pressing the left 'Shift' button right after the bios screen gives you a grub boot-menu with all the installed kernels listed. | 13:29 |
| lieuwe | juk: yeah, it is | 13:29 |
| lieuwe | juk: that's where the firewall lives :P | 13:29 |
| juk | lieuwe: ah | 13:30 |
| midhuno | minimec: then tell me my vlc player is not opening nw,,y?? | 13:30 |

| jenia | unixhacker91, that depends, if you delete your windows partition, you will lose, but if you resize and use unpartitioned space to install ubuntu, no. | 13:43 |
| jenia | erUSUL: I tried them all, nothing changes | 13:44 |
| midhuno | minimec: i found .config thanks:-) | 13:44 |
| erUSUL | jenia: maybe your compiz configuration has 100% transparency enabled for window borders ? checked in compiz settings? or just removing compiz configuration? | 13:45 |
| midhuno | unixhacker91: i am new to linux friend | 13:45 |

When I turn compiz off, I can see that the theme changed, when I turn compiz back on, the titlebar goes away again and the 3 buttons become visible floating to the right. | 13:46 |
| erUSUL | jenia: i understand. | 13:46 |

| ActionParsnip | fliegenderfrosch: good, you should double check though. If they are NOT then it will create the situation you are in (as in, if they are just pulling the plug out) | 13:52 |
| fliegenderfrosch | I have only really looked at one case, and there I could fix it with fsck, but I found it strange that it happened to two people i know within a few days | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | enterneo: if you only have swap and / thenn /home will be part of / | 13:52 |

| jrib | phenom: bugs happen; if you don't want them to happen next release you should at the very least report them at http://bugs.ubuntu.com (and you can help fix it if you can too). Though I'm sure that's reported so you might want to see if you can find an existing bug report and examine the possible causes | 14:07 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: did you follow any howtos? | 14:07 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: yeahs | 14:07 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: which one? | 14:07 |

| tsu | which would run faster on my system tho? amd64 or 32 bit? | 14:07 |
| foofooey | phenom you can set your metacity within compiz settings manager, click advanced search - and look for windows decoration in the plugin box, and enter your metacity --replace in the command field. boom your problem solved | 14:07 |

| jrib | [bean]: if only you had repeated your question instead of saying that we may have been able to help you... alas... | 14:08 |
| foofooey | of course amd64 | 14:08 |
| foofooey | theres no disadvantage at all | 14:08 |
| tsu | ok i see | 14:08 |
| LjL | [bean]: maybe it needs opening the relevant port on your router, it's a service after all | 14:08 |
| xangua | unixhacker91: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook | 14:08 |
| [bean] | jrib: ive repeated it twice already | 14:08 |
| [bean] | can someone help me get oidentd working? i installed it and configured it. when i installed it, it started it, yet i still cant get ident to work on irc | 14:08 |
| tsu | well thanks so much guys | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | yuskhanzab: this is linux support, so it isn't a mandatory thing to have | 14:08 |
| tsu | gna go get installing now... | 14:08 |
| yuskhanzab | hmm | 14:08 |
| tsu | oh and one more thing | 14:08 |

| yuskhanzab | anyone here from malaysia? | 14:09 |
| Jackie_ | hi which is fabulous Kvm or Virtualbox ? | 14:09 |
| ActionParsnip | tsu: it will accellerate heavy CPU things like video encoding and such, standard desktop stuff like you say will not benefit | 14:09 |
| makis30 | i think virtualbox | 14:09 |
| tsu | and programming? | 14:09 |
| phenom | jrib, Thanks, I'm incapable of taking all the time to report bugs,, as I've reported them as far back as Dapper that have not been fixed yet. | 14:09 |
| tsu | and heavy gaming? | 14:09 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: paste your postfix conf and your dovecot conf, easiest way for me to sort out your setup | 14:09 |
| foofooey | kvm/qemu is nice since you can boot into your virtual machines in grub | 14:09 |
| phenom | system crippling bugs introduced after upgrades etc | 14:09 |
| Jackie_ | makis30: thanks kvm piss me off | 14:09 |
| jrib | phenom: imo if you don't want to report bugs, there's no sense in complaining about them to a support channel | 14:10 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: okay, hold on | 14:10 |
| phenom | jrib, That used to be my philopophy too | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | tsu: Wine based games will be 32bit but native games may be helped | 14:10 |

| AbhijiT | yuskhanzab, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MalaysianTeam | 14:12 |
| foofooey | tsu you can run 32bit or 64bit wine | 14:12 |
| tsu | thanks so much | 14:12 |
| Jackie_ | !kvm | 14:12 |
| ubottu | kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 14:12 |

| AbhijiT | yuskhanzab, welcome | 14:12 |
| foofooey | virtualbox has a pretty UI, vmware too | 14:12 |
| ActionParsnip | unixhacker91: smbclient is default in a desktop OS, you can connect under places | 14:13 |
| Jackie_ | foofooey: yeah | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | unixhacker91: if the share is on a windows7 system you will have extra difficulties | 14:13 |
| foofooey | virt-manager is the best you can get for kvm :) | 14:13 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: you should use the dovecot delivery agent to server mails from postfix to dovecot | 14:13 |
| LjL | [bean]: is this on the IP you're using now on IRC? because my nmap doesn't see it as open, but as filtered | 14:13 |
| makis30 | hey guys i found this about kvm and virtual box-http://www.thevarguy.com/2010/06/14/virtualbox-vs-kvm-on-the-desktop-a-comparison/ | 14:13 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: and? | 14:14 |
| eXpLoD | how can i get vmware on ubuntu?is there an ubuntu version or i have to run it through wine? | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !vmware | 14:14 |
| [bean] | LjL: yes this machine and i just ran nmap and it said it was open | 14:14 |
| ubottu | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 14:14 |
| LjL | [bean]: ehm, did you run nmap on that very machine? because that doesn't mean much :P | 14:14 |
| foofooey | you can download vmware 3.0 free after registering on vmwares site | 14:14 |
| cordonnier | i have problem with 3dsp wifi. driver already installed. version: kubuntu netbook 10.04.1 2.6.32-24 (& 28 &29) | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nice gratitude from Ubunt550 | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | cordonnier: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you find wireless networks? | 14:15 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: so you set default_transport to dovecot and then you create a dovecot delivery in master.cf | 14:15 |
| minimec | midhuno: If we cannot find a solution, it could be the best. 10.04 is also an LTS (long time support). | 14:15 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: sorry for being a noob, but how do i set up dovecot delivery? | 14:15 |
| [bean] | LjL: then what do you suggest i do? because my router already has the port forwarding setup up on 113 to this machine | 14:16 |

| induz | i can see that USB with lsusb command | 14:21 |

| schnuffle | Dominique: Yes trying to get used to it, but I've just to many different distris to care about | 14:22 |
| LjL | [bean]: yes but i'm not sure what you should try. it connects for you, but it doesn't for me, so either the router or something is blocking that connection. wait, have you checked ufw? i'm not sure, because i use an old ubuntu version, but i think nowadays the firewall is enabled by default and you might need to open the port there too | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | foofooey: burg is an unofficial package so ubottu won't know it | 14:22 |
| penalvch | yuskhanzab: It looks like Trinity RO has it's own IRC that may be able to help you, you may find it on their website -> http://ragray.net/ | 14:22 |
| minimec | midhuno: And totem? | 14:22 |
| [bean] | LjL: how | 14:22 |
| induz | ActionParsnip, it says unrecognised disk label | 14:23 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: so if you test your setup, best thing to do is to have a tail -f /var/log/mail.log so you can see what happens, when you inject a mail | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: fine, the label isn't too important | 14:23 |

| Gnea | asif: you'll need swap to prevent crashing | 14:35 |

I have installed Ubuntu onto my MacBook, but since I didn't want to ruin Windows bootloader (I use reFit) I have chosen "Advanced" on the last step of installation and unchecked the box to install the bootloader. reFit now detects Ubuntu, but I get a blank screen after I select it with blinking cursor. I believe that I need to install a bootloader. I am on Live CD now, what should I do? | 15:19 |

| midhuno | minimec: r u der?? | 15:20 |
| aeon-ltd | natrixnatrix89: depends on its specs what are they? | 15:20 |
| Dr_Willis | natrixnatrix89: depends on the exact specs of the pc. | 15:20 |
| acicula | rryk: you need to install the bootloader on the ubuntu partition without it changing the mbr | 15:21 |
| aeon-ltd | lol | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | natrixnatrix89: and lubuntu is the lightest of the ubuntus :) but not as well done. (it is good. but lacking in some areas) | 15:21 |

| natrixnatrix89 | thelivingded: yeah dsl is cool choice, but it lacks many drivers.. | 15:22 |
| Dr_Willis | natrixnatrix89: theres no 'show all specs' . you could start with cat /proc/cpuinfo | 15:22 |
| maco | Lunar_Lamp: i think any interface configured in that file is ignored by NM | 15:22 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: then look for something that is called *mail* in /var/log if none use /var/log/syslog | 15:22 |

| Dr_Willis | natrixnatrix89: i think theres some tools in the repos that give hardware reportz.. but ive rarely tried the, | 15:22 |
| Deddly | penalvch: I haven't installed any, the bluetooth is built into the hardware and works from the BIOS. Apparently, the Dell BIOS emulates USB for the keyboard and the mouse. | 15:22 |
| acicula | rryk: you opted not to install the bootloader at all, so you have to install grub first via apt-get etc | 15:22 |
| thelivingded | narixnatrix89: Ah, okay. If you're running ubuntu now anyway, then one of the ubuntu's should work :) | 15:22 |
| jenia | Deddly, nothing works, neither http, nor torrent, etc. | 15:22 |

| [bean] | going to do xinet like you said | 15:23 |
| Deddly | jenia: OK. Sorry I can't help you there :( | 15:23 |
| jenia | acicula, so lsmod to findout the driver for the modem and rmmod to unload it and modprobe to load it? | 15:23 |
| thelivingded | natrixnatrix89: Unfortunately, I've never used it. One moment, I can look up it's pkg manager. | 15:23 |
| acicula | rryk: so assuming you want to be able to boot the ubuntu partition you need to install grub, and then configure it to setup on the ubuntu partition itself rather then on the MBR of the hard disk | 15:23 |
| acicula | jenia: correct | 15:23 |
| Dr_Willis | [bean]: You could just start an identd server from /etc/rc.local . Ive not needed to mess with identd in years. but i recall there being some very simple ones out. | 15:23 |
| minimec | midhuno: no problem. I should be around. I'll get a sound-alarm when the word minimec is used on the channel here. ;) | 15:23 |

| shawn146 | oh well i will work on it after school | 15:30 |
| Deddly | penalvch: Exactly. As far as I see it, the BIOS emulates USB so the computer thinks I have a USB mouse and keyboard and the keyboard isn't recognised. Maybe... | 15:30 |

| sss | !awk | sss | 15:52 |
| ubottu | sss, please see my private message | 15:52 |
| natrixnatrix89 | pw-toxic_: use synaptic | 15:52 |
| CarlFK | BluesKaj: that is more work. I use this feature quite a bit, and having it work wold be great. | 15:52 |
| trond- | hm... Which channel shall I use to report that ubuntu 10.10 with latest kernel makes my screen flicker a bit? (it's not that annoying, but it is annoying) | 15:52 |
| natrixnatrix89 | search for php5 and remove everything | 15:52 |
| _steve | unixhacker91, also the fact that it is free and so easy to get software has be be a plus for most. less money spent on software means more beer for me! | 15:52 |
| strigoi66 | pw-toxic: have you tried sudo apt-get purge (packagename) | 15:52 |
| pw-toxic_ | natrixnatrix89, yeah but when i uninstall php5, the folder /etc/php5 still exists | 15:52 |
| CarlFK | BluesKaj: currently I pick 'open link' let it 404 while I delete the < in the address bar. | 15:53 |
| natrixnatrix89 | if it bothers you maybe delete it? | 15:53 |
| AbhijiT | !bug | trond- | 15:53 |

| pw-toxic_ | natrixnatrix89, is there no possibility in ubuntu to fully remove installations? | 15:53 |
| acicula | pw-toxic_: you can use the --purge option when removing, but thats no guarantee dynamically created files are removed. | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | CarlFK, more work ? ...wow , all I can say is ...well i won't say it :) | 15:53 |
| germanporn | pw-toxic_, apt-get purge | 15:53 |
| natrixnatrix89 | pw-toxic: that would be purge.. | 15:53 |
| Deddly | penalvch: Thanks for the help | 15:54 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: halp? | 15:54 |
| pw-toxic_ | germanporn, the folder /etc/php5 still exists.. | 15:54 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: I just checked and normally you should be able to use the default dovecot config and the postfix default config with your domains configured and mailbox_command set and it should work | 15:54 |
| pw-toxic_ | germanporn, i actually want to reinstall php5 and apache2, and i want all configurations to be reset to default | 15:54 |
| strigoi66 | pw-toxic: is there anything in the folder | 15:54 |
| llutz | pw-toxic_: if you altered any file inside that folder, it won't be deleted | 15:54 |
| trond- | AbhijiT, thanks. so the normal way then. | 15:54 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: ... | 15:55 |
| germanporn | pw-toxic_, then apt-get purge php5-packet should do the trick..I used it alot today to get snort-mysql working | 15:55 |
| natrixnatrix89 | If i have an external usb hdd that has ext4 as fs. Do I need to doo some fsck time after time? Are there other tools to make sure nothing gets damaged and so on? | 15:55 |
| germanporn | pw-toxic_, you are probably purging a packet that do not make the /etc/php5 directory | 15:55 |
| pw-toxic_ | germanporn, i cant find this package intalled on my machine | 15:55 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: So I suggest you first revert your dovecot config to the default one first, restart dovecot and then you take the postfix default config, set your domains and the mailbox_command and test it it should work | 15:55 |
| pw-toxic_ | germanporn, hm and which package could have installed this directory? | 15:56 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: pffffft, i'll do that sometime tomorow, | 15:56 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: thanks | 15:56 |
| Alex-- | acicula: why not? | 15:56 |
| llutz | lieuwe: do you understand (written) german? http://www.asconix.com/howtos/debian/postfix-dovecot-mailserver-debian-lenny-howto is a very handy howto | 15:56 |
| germanporn | pw-toxic_, dpkg -L <packet> will list what files/directory the packet will make/contains | 15:56 |
| lieuwe | llutz: nope. | 15:56 |

| schnuffle | lieuwe: what is strange is , that you don't have a /var/log/mail.log, that is the standard place for the mail logs | 15:57 |
| unixhacker91 | schnuffle: If I switch from Vista to ubuntu is there a way to use windows or mac programs in ubuntu? | 15:58 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: oh, but i do | 15:58 |
| strigoi66 | Does anyone have experience with the ubuntustudio-audio pckg? | 15:58 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: i was using the wrong console window | 15:58 |
| pw-toxic_ | d'oh my vnc crashed when i tried to completley remove php with synaptic | 15:58 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: which resulted in me not doing shit over ssh but locally :P | 15:58 |
| Machtin | two things: why does my system freeze randomly (let's say about 4 times a week average).. and: how can i change the default keyboard layout (for inserting my passphrase while booting)? | 15:58 |

| pw-toxic_ | i need something like mysqli and mysqli2 or something like this | 15:59 |
| === herton_lunch is now known as herton | ||
| schnuffle | lieuwe: aaah, okay, I'm sure you miss just a small option but its hard for me to sort out, cause you're not really into it yet :) | 15:59 |
| germanporn | pw-toxic_, sorry, never heard of it | 15:59 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: :-3 | 15:59 |
| Anonnn | whats goin on my friends :) | 16:00 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: but I'm sure that will come. As a beginning I can tell you that potfix/dovecot combo is a really good choice | 16:00 |
| sipior | sss: lots of nice html parsing libraries. python would be a good choice. ask around in #python here on freenode. | 16:00 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: the tut sugested it | 16:00 |
| sss | sipior, I don't need to parse the HTML. I just want to extract text between two strings. | 16:01 |
| sipior | sss: that was parsing implies. | 16:01 |
| gsb | pw-toxic_: i think mysqli extension is already in php5 | 16:01 |
| schnuffle | lieuwe: Maybe one tip, the first thing to do after installation is to backup the default config | 16:01 |
| lieuwe | schnuffle: :P | 16:01 |
| pw-toxic_ | gsb, the first time i installed php5 it was included, but i have reinstalled it and now it is missing ;) | 16:02 |
| sss | sipior, I don't use python, I use bash | 16:02 |
| sipior | sss: you can try using regular expressions, of course, but that can be tricky to get right with html. in any event, not really an ubuntu question. | 16:02 |
| sipior | sss: ask in #bash, then. | 16:02 |
| sss | sipior, ok | 16:02 |
| juk | lieuwe: if you have static why you use dyndns? | 16:02 |
| gsb | pw-toxic_: if mysqli support is missing then mysql support would be missing too | 16:03 |
| Aldus | hi. I can't find any decent free photoalbum software for Ubuntu. I want to make albums from vacations in different pages, then export the whole as a pdf... what to use? | 16:03 |
| lieuwe | juk: so i don't need to remember the ip? | 16:03 |
| pw-toxic_ | gsb, no mysql is installed | 16:03 |
| pw-toxic_ | php5-mysql | 16:03 |
| juk | lieuwe: ah | 16:03 |
| lieuwe | juk: i had it memorized, but then we got a new net connection | 16:03 |
| schnuffle | juk: So he can set a MX DNS Record and the mail gets routed to his PC? | 16:03 |
| SD0 | Aldus: And what about F-Spot? | 16:04 |
| SiilvE | how do i acces my frives when im in windows in virtualbox? | 16:04 |
| SD0 | Aldus: Don't you like it? | 16:04 |
| gsb | pw-toxic_: see apt-cache show php5-mysql, its description says that it has support for both mysql and mysqli | 16:04 |
| juk | schnuffle: fare enough, i thought he has domain too | 16:04 |
| Aldus | SD0, I didn't try it. I will right now... someone suggested Picasa, but it doesn't create albums with pages and descriptions, just web albums | 16:05 |
| Machtin | hey guys.. two questions: why does my system freeze randomly (let's say about 4 times a week average).. and: how can i change the default keyboard layout (for inserting my passphrase while booting)? | 16:05 |
| acicula | SiilvE: you can share files using shared folders with virtualbox or let the vm connect to your local network and share your files like you normally would | 16:05 |
| unixhacker91 | acicula: How do i uninstall ubuntu while windows is installed within it? | 16:06 |
| Aldus | SD0, I don't need a photo management software, I want to create an album (like a family album, travel album, etc.) with photos/descriptions in different pages, then export as pdf and eventually print it | 16:06 |
| SD0 | Aldus: Did you check the Ubuntu Software Center? | 16:06 |
| VirusTB | Machtin, use characters such as !@#$%^&*() for your passphrase, as for the other question... i dunno why it freezes | 16:06 |
| sipior | Machtin: why would we be able to guess at the reason your machine crashes, when you have told us nothing besides the fact that it does so? | 16:06 |

| pw-toxic_ | gsb, do i need to restart php5 or something like this?! | 16:08 |
| Aldus | SD0, I think I'll end up using it | 16:08 |
| Aldus | SD0, I just hoped I could find something better | 16:08 |
| SD0 | Aldus: Haha. It's not bad. It's pretty good. | 16:08 |
| pw-toxic_ | gsb, i have reinstalled everything and now it works.. strange ;) | 16:09 |
| gsb | pw-toxic_: i don't think you can 'restart' php5 as its not a daemon/server, though if i were you i would try rebooting the system | 16:09 |
| gsb | pw-toxic_: congrats! God Linus must be happy from you | 16:10 |
| saleem | how do i fix nvidia driver on lucid? | 16:11 |

| billmania | Once I've executed "do-release-upgrade" is there a corresponding utility which reverts to the previous version, in case the upgrade breaks more things than it fixes? | 16:13 |
| pw-toxic_ | gsb, yay! and my drupal7 installation works as well... i dont know where the error was but reinstalling everything helped me out ) | 16:13 |
| acicula | billmania: no | 16:13 |
| billmania | Is "do-release-upgrade --sandbox" the best alternative? | 16:13 |
| acicula | billmania: that simulates the update but does not apply it yeah | 16:13 |
| gsb | pw-toxic_: may be you restarted apache or something | 16:14 |
| pw-toxic_ | gsb, maybe you can also tell me how i can update ubuntu without using the update manager? i have only vnc access to this ubuntu machine and vnc crashes when i use the update manager | 16:14 |
| pw-toxic_ | gsb, no apache gets restarted automatically on reinstalling packages and i rebootet my system serveral times inbetween | 16:14 |
| billmania | acicula: Thanks. I'm trying to see if an upgrade will solve a current problem. Otherwise I want to stay at the same version (because everything else works fine). | 16:14 |
| gsb | pw-toxic_: i update my ubuntu with "apt-get update" and then 'apt-get dist-upgrade" | 16:14 |
| acicula | billmania: per the man page, it upgrades the system using aufs, overlay filesystem | 16:14 |
| acicula | billmania: but im not sure if that persists over a reboot | 16:15 |
| billmania | acicula: Understood. I should be able to do all my testing without requiring a reboot. | 16:15 |
| pw-toxic_ | gsb, "dist-upgrade" does only update the packages but keeps my ubuntu version (10.4 in my case)? | 16:15 |
| billmania | Actually, I'd like to be confident that a reboot will fully restore the old version and functionality. | 16:15 |
| pw-toxic_ | i need to keep LTS | 16:15 |
| saleem | thank you ubottu | 16:16 |
| unixhacker91 | saleem: How can I stop Ubuntu from showing my emails, and letting people email from my email address after logging off? | 16:16 |
| acicula | billmania: from what i gather it stores the changse in a aufs under /tmp, which are lost after a reboot | 16:16 |
| gsb | pw-toxic_: then i think just giving "upgrade" would work | 16:17 |
| llutz | unixhacker91: ask your admin to configure the system correct. | 16:17 |
| billmania | acicula: That shouldn't be a problem for what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to import photos from a Samsung SCH-U640 phone and 10.04.2.LTS doesn't recognize the phone. | 16:17 |
| eXpLoD | what's the package name of openoffice? | 16:17 |
| acicula | so it resets the system back to when you started the update process, but not sure if you can test new packages that way as its seems geared to testing the update process itself | 16:17 |
| pw-toxic_ | gsb, what is the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade | 16:17 |
| minimec | unixhacker91: Disable autologin? ;) | 16:18 |
| acicula | pw-toxic_: it upgrades the kernel and a few other critical packages | 16:18 |
| billmania | acicula: Understood. Still worth a try. | 16:18 |
| acicula | dist-upgrade does not do a release upgrade | 16:18 |
| pw-toxic_ | acicula, and dist-upgrade also upgrades to a new version of ubuntu? 10.10 in my case? | 16:19 |
| juk | !word | eXpLoD: | 16:19 |

| gsb | pw-toxic_: also upgrade does not remove any pacakage or install a new package but dist-upgrade does | 16:19 |
| dajhorn | DARKGuy: System -> Preferences - > Bluetooth -> "Show Bluetooth Icon" | 16:19 |
| acicula | pw-toxic_: unlses you change repositories dist-upgrade wont change your ubuntu release | 16:20 |
| acicula | pw-toxic_: change to a newer ubuntu release that is | 16:20 |
| pw-toxic_ | and how can i then upgrade to 10.10? | 16:20 |
| acicula | do-release-upgrade or update-manager | 16:20 |
| pw-toxic_ | thx | 16:21 |
| pw-toxic_ | upate-manager doesnt work for me | 16:21 |
| beachwood23 | i thought that you had to upgrade with "dist-upgrade" | 16:21 |

| AbhijiT | existx, openoffice.org | 16:23 |
| dajhorn | beachwood23: `apt-get dist-upgrade` is really just `apt-get upgrade` with relaxed dependency checking. `update-manager -d` is what most people should use. | 16:23 |
| midy0089 | hi all, is there someone who could advice me regarding upstart | 16:23 |
| pw-toxic_ | acicula, no update-manager doesnt work for me, because i can only access this machine via VNC, and VNC crashes when using update-manager | 16:23 |

| DARKGuy | dajhorn, I did that but it doesnt work | 16:23 |
| acicula | pw-toxic_: right, try do-release-upgrade then? | 16:23 |
| gerard | abhijit hi speak your dutch | 16:24 |

| tempel | hi, I want to chroot-install packages, I want to "unpack" but do the steps "prepare and configure" after the first reboot. I can prevent APT from doing the CONFIGURE step. But "PREPARE" is looking up /var/run/utmp. (my daemons are not running in the chroot-env - so installation(=prepare/configure) has to be done later on) - any hints? ..link to a doku? | 17:19 |

| HalfMoon | no problems here, qlip. | 17:30 |
| trism | Sheepherd: you need the -dev package, zlib1g-dev | 17:30 |
| qlip | maybe I'll do that install 10 10 and not update | 17:30 |
| Sheepherd | trism, ah! thanks :) | 17:30 |
| BonevG | qlip, check your repo sources, clean already downloaded packages and also check if there isn`t synaptic or any other package manager working at the same time | 17:30 |

| zachlr | how might one check the mounted drives (/media) and their r/w mode? (I have used the command before, but I can't seem to remeber the name) | 18:07 |
| maco | zachlr: type "mount" | 18:07 |
| Varun_ | llutz: was the syntax correct, I mean */30 will work ? | 18:07 |
| zachlr | maco, thanks! | 18:07 |

| zachlr | okay so I've got sda1 mounted at /media/... as rw (ubuntu is installed on sdb1), but there seems to be some trouble with files (text, gedit) making it to the drive. Yesterday I saved a file to the windows drive (desktop), but it didn't make it there apparently. any ideas? | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | Deddly, did you try sudo update-grub , and does it show the windows partition ?, I'm not clear whether or not. | 18:10 |
| Zed` | ohey silly question - if you set a crontab day of month to '31' what happens in 30 day months or feb? | 18:11 |
| Varun_ | llutz: if the server on which my cron job will run does not have internet connectivity, then will this decrease the performance, i mean trying to hit everytime, but not getting connected | 18:11 |
| Deddly | BluesKaj: I have done and it did see the partition, yes | 18:12 |
| llutz | Varun_: no, it just runs into a timeout | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixapt | 18:12 |

| Dr_Willis | jose-neto: could be its mounted with the wrong options, fs is bad so it got remounted read only, or the lock switch is on... | 18:22 |

| iceroot | jimlovell777: you can use "ionice" to reduce the priority of the process, so the scheduler can give more cpu time to other processes | 19:40 |
| mbeierl | jimlovell777: it also attempts to trade off applications in memory for hard drive cache. you can reduce some of that with vm swappiness | 19:40 |

| hylian | rstacruz, that's awesome, and I have learned something new, good to know. | 19:42 |
| iceroot | jimlovell777: no. if you tell your system to copy 50GB to another pc and the prioritiy is normal and you have another process running e.g. watching a video on youtube and the prio is also normal, then both processes are at the same prioritylevel for the scheduler. your harddrive isnt fast enought but the scheduler is giving the process 50% of the time, the other 50% goes to your flash,video | 19:42 |
| hylian | runningwater, i have had the same problem, for some reason ubuntu won't boot from usb sticks when installed, instead of live usb'd. | 19:43 |
| hylian | runningwater, i know there is a way, let me see what i can dig up... | 19:43 |
| iceroot | jimlovell777: it doesnt matter if your system can copy 1MB/s or 100MB/s, the scheduler is giving 50% of the cpu-time to the copy-process | 19:43 |
| greppy | axisys: I'd take a look at either http://pwsafe.org or apt-get install makepasswd, or both. | 19:43 |

| edwardteach | axisys, sounds like everyone’s dream password app i dont think it exists though. | 19:43 |
| iceroot | jimlovell777: and most of the 50% are waitint-time for the harddrive (in top its called (wa)it) | 19:44 |
| jimlovell777 | iceroot: Ah, ok. Makes sense. I knew I was missing something, just didn't know what it was. | 19:44 |

Also, be sure to install the bootloader on the USB (for eg sdb. NOT the HDD of the computer. that'll screw up grub in the computer). | 19:46 |

| Metroshica | @ SiilvE However, you may want to try vmware server, it's free as well, and may support usb, I'm not sure | 19:48 |
| iceroot | SiilvE: its just not open-source | 19:48 |
| Kingsy | delinquentme - ok, well the first is manual partitioning on ubuntu.. I have sda and sdb I want to use sda as /home and sdb as / /boot and swap I have tried 4 times (4 install attempts) and each time I get a grub rescue prompt on boot | 19:48 |

| runningwater | hylian: you mean a bootable usb stick with ubuntu install? i know how to on windows but not on linux | 19:49 |
| hylian | runningwater did you see the post from RishavT ? | 19:49 |
| iceroot | SiilvE: just download VirtualBox from there website as an ubuntu-package or use the repo at ther website. you dont have to pay money and can use usb | 19:49 |
| genjix | this channel is a warzone :D | 19:49 |
| SiilvE | i did iceroot but it doesnt work | 19:50 |
| iceroot | SiilvE: then have a look at the vbox-channel at #vbox | 19:50 |
| Kingsy | I could just do a standard erase/install but that means I wouldnt have sda as /home which would be nice | 19:50 |
| genjix | the virtualbox from their site runs faster than the ubuntu version | 19:50 |
| iceroot | SiilvE: i think its a better place for vbox-support | 19:50 |
| edwardteach | hylian, can you not treat it like a hard drive ive put ext4 on one before ! | 19:50 |
| hylian | runningwater, are you trying to just install the live cd version, or are you trying to actually install the full os permanently like on your hard drive? | 19:50 |
| runningwater | hylian: ah sorry i see it now | 19:50 |
| Kingsy | could someone offer some advice on how I cuold do this? | 19:50 |
| greppy | SiilvE: make sure you are in the vboxusers group and that you add a filter for the usb device you want it to use. | 19:50 |
| genjix | Kingsy: i just do / and swap :) | 19:51 |
| hylian | RishavT, thanx man! | 19:51 |
| runningwater | hylian: im trying to recover a previous permanent install | 19:51 |
| Kingsy | genjix - what do you mean? | 19:51 |
| RishavT | hylian: no prob dude :) | 19:51 |
| genjix | no need to have a separate home partition really | 19:51 |
| hylian | runningwater, to your usb, or to your hard drive..?? | 19:51 |
| genjix | if your install goes wrong then you can boot a livecd, backup and reinstall | 19:51 |
| Kingsy | genjix - I know there is no need but for my circumstance it would be very useful | 19:51 |
| genjix | what're you trying to do? I missed it? | 19:52 |
| llutz | Kingsy: just use "manual partition layout" when installing | 19:52 |
| genjix | >> How can I stop SSH starting on startup? I ran sudo update-rc.d -f ssh remove, ... no error messages but SSH still starts up on the next bootup. | 19:52 |
| llutz | genjix: use sysv-rc-conf | 19:53 |
| iceroot | genjix: there is always a reason to have an extra home-partition | 19:53 |
| genjix | thanks llutz | 19:53 |
| hylian | Kingsy, also, just to keep in mind, if you have more than one drive, especially if you have a mix of drive types, like sata and ide, you will want to use manual and watch where ubuntu wants to put it, because ubuntu likes to put grub on the wrong drive. | 19:53 |
| genjix | iceroot: like? | 19:53 |
| edwardteach | Kingsy, you should only need 5 gig max for / | 19:53 |
| genjix | you should be backing up valuable data anyway, but otherwise it's useless | 19:53 |

| genjix | Kingsy: ok then it looks fine. you dont really need /boot | 19:56 |

| hylian | runningwater, i see. you are trying to save the current install. any error messages? can it boot somewhat? because then you can control alt f1 to get a terminal, and perhaps we could change a config or uninstall a troubled package?> | 19:57 |
| genjix | Kingsy: well you don't need /boot but it doesn't harm either. | 19:57 |
| Cube`` | lazarus_: crazy. shouldnt be heading that way | 19:57 |

| sulumar | does anyone of you know a way to check if a certain removable media is connected or not in a bashscript ?? | 19:58 |

| ubottu | sbrath,: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 19:58 |
| Kingsy | genjix - well if you you are saying is true then it doesnt work.. I have done that 5 times | 19:58 |
| rumpe1 | sulumar, hmm... can /proc/mounts for the UUID | 19:58 |
| Kingsy | apart from I had a /boot partition | 19:58 |
| genjix | sulumar: you can check for it's device | 19:58 |
| rumpe1 | sulumar, s/can/scan/ | 19:58 |
| jrib | sulumar: #bash would be a good place to ask for best practices | 19:58 |
| * hylian apologizes for messing with ubottu | 19:59 | |
| sulumar | bash send me here | 19:59 |
| rumpe1 | jrib, lol | 19:59 |
| jrib | sulumar: heh | 19:59 |
| genjix | Kingsy: dont what 5 times? that setup? | 19:59 |
| genjix | how big is your hard drive? | 19:59 |
| Kingsy | genjix - yup | 19:59 |
| Kingsy | trying it again now | 19:59 |
| genjix | tell me you hd size? | 19:59 |
| Kingsy | genjix - sdb is 16GB sda 4GB | 19:59 |
| Kingsy | so sda /home would be 4GB | 19:59 |
| genjix | ok do this | 20:00 |
| Kingsy | sdb root would be about 15GB | 20:00 |
| iceroot | genjix: another reason, you have a very fast hd (maybe ssd) and a very large harddrive 1tb but its slow... fast ssd for /, slow hdd for /home to have your movies and so on | 20:00 |
| runningwater | hylian: the error msg is: try passing init=bootarg. it goes to busyBox ash shell. from playing around at that prompt i observed it can't access /etc/fstab and /root/dev/console/. i don't know where they are corrupted or BusyBos shell can't access those files due to permissions. | 20:00 |
| jrib | rumpe1, sulumar: personally, I'd parse /etc/mtab or the output of « mount » but there could be a better way | 20:00 |
| genjix | Kingsy: 2 GB swap on sdb, remaining 14 GB / ... sda = /home. install bootloader to sdb | 20:00 |
| Kingsy | genjix - done that.. it doesnt work | 20:01 |
| hylian | runningwater, it sounds like grub is seriously messed up, let me do some digging. can you sudo su or su to gain root priveleges? | 20:01 |
| genjix | iceroot: that's not a partition though. | 20:01 |
| genjix | im arguing paritioning your main hd into / and /home is retarded. | 20:01 |
| iceroot | genjix: no | 20:01 |
| genjix | (unless you have a good reason to) | 20:01 |
| mkanyicy | iceroot: how fast is the ssd? | 20:01 |
| Kingsy | genjix - perhaps it was cos I had a /boot partition could that cause it to fail? | 20:01 |
| iceroot | mkanyicy: faster then the hd | 20:01 |
| === alex88_ is now known as alex88 | ||
| runningwater | hylian: no sudo or root :(. the help in that shell lists the cmds. there are not many :( | 20:01 |
| genjix | Kingsy: how did it fail? | 20:02 |
| mkanyicy | iceroot: how much, double? | 20:02 |
| jrib | sulumar: I just discovered the « mountpoint » command which seems to be available on my system. Depending on how portable you need your script to be, you may want to look into it | 20:02 |
| iceroot | mkanyicy: reread my post, its an example | 20:02 |
| Kingsy | genjix - when I booted up it said it couldnt find grub then gave me a grub rescue prompt | 20:02 |
| Kingsy | genjix - 5 times in a row | 20:02 |
| mkanyicy | iceroot: ok | 20:02 |
| Kingsy | installation went without a problem up until then | 20:02 |
| llutz | genjix: the bootloader (grub) is to be installed into the MBR, so /dev/sda in Kingsys case. wth should it be written to sdb? | 20:02 |
| pit | !list | 20:02 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 20:02 |
| genjix | Kingsy: ok do this then. im not sure how to do it in the ubuntu installer then mark the / parittion as bootable | 20:03 |
| iceroot | genjix: e.g. you cant kill your system because home is running full. e.g. on a server you copy large files into your /home. then / is full too | 20:03 |
| genjix | and install the bootloader to that / partition. | 20:03 |
| hylian | runningwater, still researching your problem, this looks to be specifically a 10.04 problem, ugh, sorry man. ill see if i can find a solution, brb | 20:03 |
| iceroot | genjix: its just a good and clean way to have a seperate home | 20:03 |
| jrib | sulumar: there's some discussion here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/479226/how-to-test-if-a-given-path-is-a-mount-point | 20:03 |
| Kingsy | oh, llutz is that right? I should install bootloader to sda and not make a /boot partition? | 20:03 |
| sulumar | mount | grep /media/Backup could infact work | 20:03 |
| b0ot | Has anyone gotten atftpd to work? | 20:03 |
| genjix | iceroot: well this is the 3rd time that I've put / at the ubuntu recommended size + some more | 20:04 |
| llutz | Kingsy: writing grub into sdb or a partition is nonsense. | 20:04 |
| runningwater | hylian: i could download and burn a live cd. upgrading to the latest version is also doable. | 20:04 |
| Kingsy | llutz - ok let me try that | 20:04 |
| genjix | than ended up running out of space while having a huge ~ | 20:04 |
| llutz | Kingsy: the PC BIOS searches the 1st sector of the 1st HDD in system for a bootloader, thats /dev/sda | 20:04 |
| runningwater | hylian: thanks again for the time and effort. i realise how annoying this issue is due to all the possible variant causes. | 20:05 |
| nadeiz | hola a todos | 20:05 |
| jrib | sulumar: there are some "gotchas" in that stackoverflow thread about parsing mtab. Can I offer a kludge: create a file like ".sulumariscool" in the removable media, then just test if that exists | 20:05 |
| genjix | Kingsy: oh yeah you need to change your BIOS to boot sdb first | 20:05 |
| genjix | as llutz says | 20:05 |
| llutz | genjix: thats stupid | 20:05 |
| mkanyicy | Kingsy: personally I recommend NOT to make a separate /boot partition | 20:05 |
| heyguise | So I have this giant dir with to many files and its crashing nautilus. I can access the files by going to terminal. What can i do here? | 20:05 |

| genjix | reboot and hit F2 or Del then change the boot order | 20:05 |
| llutz | Kingsy: sure | 20:05 |
| hylian | runningwater, ok, i found this tip to try "I ran a live CD, opened terminal, and typed in "sudo fsck /dev/sda7" (where my ubuntu partition was located)". i hate to say it, but in about 50% of the cases of this bug, it was a hard drive with bad sectors, in otherwords, on it's deathbed. let's hope not | 20:05 |
| Kingsy | mkanyicy - yup i read ya | 20:05 |
| genjix | so that sdb is first | 20:05 |
| sulumar | thats an idea | 20:05 |
| Kingsy | llutz - ok np :0 | 20:05 |
| genjix | llutz: why is it bad? | 20:05 |
| Kingsy | :)* | 20:05 |
| erUSUL | heyguise: you can do whatever you want in terminal | 20:06 |
| llutz | genjix: it makes no sense at all. why should one change the BIOS just for booting, when writing grub into sda works fine? | 20:06 |
| minimec | genjix: I don't know what you are doing wrong ;) But please stop yelling nonsence... | 20:06 |
| genjix | llutz: he's already installed | 20:06 |
| iceroot | genjix: and here is the best. encryption :) you dont want to encrypt / if the important data is only on /home because its making the system slow | 20:06 |
| heyguise | erUSUL, i made a directory in it. Is there a way i can move alot of files at once? | 20:06 |
| runningwater | hylian: a dying hd is a possibility :( i will try that advice. thank you. | 20:06 |
| iceroot | genjix: so you have one encrypted partition called /home | 20:07 |
| hylian | runningwater, this has more information on that tip i found: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9411005&postcount=2 | 20:07 |
| RishavT | heyguise: for a terminal file-browser, try midnight commander (package name: 'mc'). type in "sudo apt-get install mc" and once that's done run it. | 20:07 |
| genjix | iceroot: ok encryption is one reason I can accept. Make a separate ~ if you encrypt, otherwise it's pointless. | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | heyguise: it depends if the files have common patterns in the filename or other atributes | 20:07 |
| llutz | genjix: we're talking about Kingsy who wants to install? so what is "already installed"? | 20:07 |
| genjix | llutz: he said he's already installed 5 times | 20:07 |

| Yadira | Hi,i got a option in context menu that says Create Document--but i have no templates installed,,what package do i need to install to have this context manu usefull for me | 20:22 |

| erUSUL | Encry8: each time with a different filename in -O ? | 20:24 |
| Kingsy | if I start run -> the ip address of my ubuntu machine I get a login but the username/password for my machine doesnt work.. so i cant get in | 20:24 |
| Yadira | jrib, thanks a lot pal,one more question,,,qhere is this folder located,is it the one in home or in system ? | 20:24 |
| Encry8 | erUSUL: yeah i need it to create a new and different file | 20:25 |
| Encry8 | erUSUL: reason being, it stops after 1 gig or so, for some reason, it never used to do that | 20:25 |
| erUSUL | Encry8: wget will number the files for you if you do not specify the filename output | 20:25 |
| jrib | Yadira: ~/Templates means /home/username/Templates. There may also be some system-wide one I'm not aware of | 20:25 |
| schnuffle | Encry8: use a timestamp for the name like -O file-$(date).flv | 20:25 |

| trond- | thanks mbeierl :) | 20:37 |
| Kingsy | hk4l - by you referencing my to that link can you see why my smb.conf is not working? | 20:37 |
| KB1JWQ | CoolHandLouis: So it's a problem with your virtualization setup's networking. | 20:37 |
| Kingsy | hk4l - because I don't really want to have a no user/pass login on this share | 20:37 |
| mbeierl | Rishav-T: iPhone tethering over USB with ipheth. Works using the stock kernel, but maverick with .36 does not | 20:37 |
| Kingsy | hk4l - I would prefer to just get it working if possible | 20:37 |
| trond- | mbeierl, so header (amd64), image (amd64) and _all ? or shall I use i386 even though I am running 64-bit? | 20:38 |

| schnuffle | Monotoko: use a email to sms provider | 20:54 |
| KB1JWQ | b0ot: It sounds to me like the challenge you're facing is "how do I set up tftpd," not "tftpd is broken." | 20:54 |
| nurey | jrib i've googled various keywords from the installation log, but will try bugs.ubuntu.com directly | 20:54 |

| furi | i don't know if this is the right place, but on tilp2, through a silverlink cable to my ti-92 plus, when trying to delete a file, it gets stuck while requesting a version or something like that. also, i can copy not even 700 bytes of info onto this, but yet it's said to hold 700 kilobytes. what's going on? | 20:55 |
| b0ot | KB1JWQ, well I will admit that I have not done ennough to say that TFTP is broken for sure, but TFTP did not work following multiple walkthroughs using atftpd and tftp-hpa | 20:56 |
| Monotoko | schnuffle, I assume the GSM stick would need a sim card...and to connect to a carrier? | 20:56 |
| === hk4l is now known as hk4l_away | ||

| helo | anyone know of a phone (not a cell phone: a wireless handset) that can be used in linux with google voice to make and receive calls? | 20:56 |
| Monotoko | schnuffle, I was hoping for a way to bypass that and use the internet to get SMS's out, but I guess I have the protocol wrong? | 20:57 |
| helo | the gmail google talk plugin seems to work well just using speakers and a microphone, but it would be awesome if it was possible to make and receive calls from a portable wireless handset | 20:57 |
| schnuffle | Monotoko: at one place it has to be transported into the gsm net and one way is having a gsm device connected to the server, another is to use a provider. Providers often offer email2sms gateways but there are other protocols available | 20:58 |

| dajhorn | agentgasmask: Otherwise, you'll need to manually copy things like .gnupg .ssh and some other dot-directories. | 21:09 |
| Gizmo_the_Great | schnuffle: there's the RAID controller at the BIOS level, but I was hoping to be able to scan it from within Linux too, but I guess to any OS it's always just going to be seen as a physical disk. I just wondered though. | 21:09 |

| dak1n1 | greppy: I use /etc/aliases so all mail to "root" gets forwarded to me. It works on redhat systems anyway | 21:58 |
| schnuffle | dak1n1: set the correct email in /etc/logwatch/logwatch.conf | 21:58 |
| rikusw | Cyberfusion: talk about compatibility.... | 21:59 |
| BluesKaj | how does one alias one's password in ~/.bashrc, so that it works after 'password for user : ' prompt in the cli ? | 21:59 |
| dak1n1 | schnuffle: logwatch.conf is set to "root", so /etc/aliases should take care of that for me. | 21:59 |
| Deddly | WinstonSmith, yeats, Cyberfusion: Thanks for the help. I'm so new to Ubuntu, all these names mean little to me really :( Sorry about my newbishness. Last time I had linux up and running it was Suse 8 and I never did get good at it... | 21:59 |
| greppy | dak1n1: check the logcheck config to see where it is sending email to, by default I think it sends to 'logcheck' so you may need to edit that in your /etc/aliases. | 21:59 |
| dak1n1 | greppy: will do, thanks | 21:59 |
| Cyberfusion | deddly dont worry about it, we are all idiots when it comes to it :P | 22:00 |
| Konsole | deddly: it's all good.... What makes you better at it is if you have the willingness to learn :] | 22:00 |
| schnuffle | dak1n1: for debian based system I prefer logcheck to logwatch anyway | 22:00 |
| minimec | oier: Could it be that the sound output is set to the internal HDMI sound port? Does that chip has hdmi? | 22:01 |
| yeats | Deddly: gotta start somewhere ;-) | 22:01 |
| BluesKaj | Cyberfusion, mostbppl who fially find linux are far from being idiots...the behaviour is sometimes alittle idiotic tho ") | 22:01 |
| hercury | oier: did you look in the sound preferences to see if it shows that device? | 22:01 |
| dak1n1 | schnuffle: good to know. I'll look at the docs for logcheck then. I know nothing of Debian systems... I'm pretty lost on this thing. | 22:01 |
| oier | minimec, where can i check that? the chip has hdmi output, yes | 22:01 |
| fagel | grub cant find the windows partion I have on the same disk as ubuntu (I even have it mounted) using grub-update what to do? | 22:01 |
| Konsole | deddly: getting ahead of the crowd as-is by participating in chat... You will learn a lot by that alone.. and Google is one of your best friends :P | 22:02 |
| Deddly | Cyberfusion, Konsole, yeats: That makes me feel a lot better, thanks! So as for this Samba, HD sharing question... is anyone willing to walk be through it? | 22:02 |
| rumpe1 | fagel, try os-prober | 22:02 |
| hercury | oier: and if its enabled | 22:02 |

| fagel | rumpe1: Did not do anything unfortunatly | 22:04 |
| schnuffle | dak1n1: sure that postfix can send email to yout box, I mean have you tried to send mail with mutt? | 22:04 |
| mkanyicy | fagel, which windows you have? xp/vista/7? | 22:04 |
| BluesKaj | cyber setup a text file with cli commands you can eventually find alot of them here but there are cli command pages on the net | 22:04 |
| hercury | oier: is it muted :) | 22:04 |
| fagel | mkanyicy, grub2 | 22:04 |
| fagel | mkanyicy, windows 7 | 22:04 |

| oier | but it says digital hdmi output | 22:04 |
| dak1n1 | schnuffle: I'm used to sendmail, so I installed that. I'm installing logcheck now though. Maybe I'll have better luck with that | 22:04 |
| mkanyicy | fagel, what happens when you boot up, do you see the menu and boot to ubuntu? | 22:05 |
| === brbHunterm is now known as hunterm | ||
| fagel | mkanyicy, yes I see the boot menu but only ubuntu + memcheck options | 22:05 |
| BluesKaj | Cyberfusion, setup a text file with cli commands, you can eventually find alot of them here but there are cli command pages on the net | 22:05 |
| mankeletor | my /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/Unincorp file is broken =( how could I fix that issue? | 22:05 |
| Konsole | fagel, you could change the conf and add the line to boot the windows partition | 22:06 |
| minimec | oier: I guess you don't want dhmi output. so choose the other one. | 22:06 |
| oier | hercury, minimec I have 2 cards in gnome-volume-control, one is Internal audio, analog stereo output and the other one is RS880 Audio Device [Radeon 4200] digital stereo HDMI output | 22:06 |
| BluesKaj | fagel, why ? sudo is sufficient | 22:06 |
| minimec | oier: I guess you don't want dhmi output. so choose the other one. | 22:06 |
| fagel | BluesKaj, I mean i ran it like you said | 22:06 |

| minimec | oier: That could well be. I don't know what hardware you have... | 22:08 |

| Vustom | rumpel it opened my cd drive for me and i tolk it out and and closed the cd drive up.. | 22:14 |
| Vustom | should i just restart the comp? | 22:14 |
| Vustom | or should i do another install | 22:15 |

| mkanyicy | Vustom, what is your problem again? | 22:15 |
| rumpe1 | Vustom, yes... and hope, that this error hadn't influenced your system during installation | 22:15 |
| Gump | no, the problem is insane cpu usage... | 22:15 |
| Vustom | [ 1622.439808] end_request, 1/0 error, dev sr0, sector 539672 | 22:15 |
| Vustom | is the last line of code | 22:15 |
| Athenon | nickGGG: dns | 22:15 |
| Gump | not overheating. it always overheats when the system is running hard...but there are no processes running right now | 22:15 |
| Athenon | Gump: even at 100%, it shouldnt get THAT hot. | 22:15 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: Even with ridiculous CPU usage, it is unnatural to get that hot | 22:15 |
| Gump | it always has, ever since i got it | 22:15 |
| shawn146 | do i want to install with LVM? | 22:15 |
| mmInd_ | does anyone know a command to show all packages from a certain "Section" from the command line? For example, list all packages from the "Editors" section? | 22:16 |
| nickGGG | Athenon, i setup a new DNS A record with the ip of the vps but it doesnt work | 22:16 |
| hercury | Vustom: that happens to me very time - I dont think its a big problem | 22:16 |
| Athenon | then you should do something about it. it's probably going to break really soon now | 22:16 |
| Gump | it's a laptop. my previous laptop melted from overheating, this one is an improvement lol | 22:16 |
| Vustom | i will go restart.. do i restart via the console or the button on the pc? | 22:16 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: you're not going to have a CPU much longer | 22:16 |
| Athenon | nickGGG: did you setup the zone file properly? | 22:16 |
| mmInd_ | I looked at apt-cache but it doesn't appear to have a search for section. | 22:16 |
| Gump | howlymowly, i've had this computer for 2+ years. still running strong | 22:16 |
| howoriginalAU | Also, don't touch the thing, lol | 22:16 |
| Toph2 | apt-get update is continually hogging much of my CPU capacity. When I 'sudo killall apt-get, it frees it but eventually it happenes again | 22:16 |
| Vustom | hercury: everytime your start your comp? or just on new installs? | 22:16 |
| nickGGG | Athenon, what do you mean ? | 22:16 |
| Athenon | nickGGG: let me rephrase. please pastebin your zone file :P | 22:16 |

| howlymowly | Gump: what? | 22:16 |

| Vustom | i go restart | 22:17 |
| Konsole | Lol. Yeah, that's pretty hot | 22:17 |
| howlymowly | Gump: ahh i c | 22:17 |
| howoriginalAU | You definitely need more thermal paste / much better cooling system | 22:17 |
| Konsole | MUCH better cooling... if it's running that hot idle | 22:17 |
| Gump | dude, my computer has been like this for 2 years. it only sucks when i burn myself on it. the problem right now is insane cpu usage | 22:17 |
| Gump | and it started last night | 22:17 |
| Cyberfusion | type sensors into console | 22:17 |
| mmInd_ | Toph2, maybe it's the updater running? | 22:17 |
| Toph2 | mmInd_,,, i suspect it is,, can i check it somewhere? | 22:18 |
| shawn146 | \join #ubuntu-beginners | 22:18 |
| shawn146 | oops | 22:18 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: your computer wouldn't still happen to be under warranty would it hahaha | 22:18 |
| Cyberfusion | nvm I read up, 98C jesus man | 22:18 |
| Gump | howlymowly, yes, as a matter of fact it is | 22:18 |
| mmInd_ | Toph2, is it happening daily? You can check the settings in the update manager under settings. | 22:18 |
| howoriginalAU | If it is, just demonstrate how hot it is by boiling a kettle | 22:18 |
| Gump | but nothing is wrong with it... | 22:18 |
| yoshie | New to ubuntu, 10.10 64 bit with Nvidia geforce GT 240 , trying to install and it freezes | 22:18 |
| Konsole | Maybe he means 98F? | 22:18 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: I would consider 98 degrees C to have something wrong with it | 22:18 |
| Konsole | Lol. | 22:18 |
| Gump | it has run like that ever since being brand new | 22:19 |
| Cyberfusion | at 98C i would expect the board to shutdown | 22:19 |
| Cyberfusion | under thermal controls | 22:19 |
| howlymowly | hey Gump plz watch who you're talking to... I always get alerted when you mention my name... | 22:19 |
| Gump | it has a pretty massive GPU and a big CPU, so it never suprised me | 22:19 |
| howoriginalAU | Cyberfusion: yes,and if it has been doing this for two years...... | 22:19 |
| howoriginalAU | howlymowly: yeah I think he means me haha | 22:19 |
| Gump | the board shutdown for my cpu is 100 c | 22:19 |

| ugliefrog | im running ubuntu 10.10 amd64...and for some reason my system is crawling.....harddrive light stays on constantly...any ideas... | 22:19 |
| gian | hi all..gnunet does'nt run | 22:19 |
| Cyberfusion | 98C is approaching the melting point, the layers would separate over time | 22:19 |
| Konsole | Gump, Are you sure you're not running at 98F instead of 98C? | 22:20 |
| Gump | lol i think i'd know if i was | 22:20 |
| Konsole | O.o | 22:20 |
| howoriginalAU | Konsole: Well he said he burns himself whenever he touches it so I think he's serious | 22:20 |
| mmInd_ | Toph2, maybe the /etc/apt/sources.list file has the dvd repository in there still? | 22:20 |
| viliny | hello, i just installed ubuntu 64 bit on my desktop and noticed it has trouble resuming from standby. any tips? i remember my server and laptop suffering from the same problem | 22:20 |

| shawn146 | what is LVM and encrypted LVM? | 22:20 |
| mmInd_ | Toph2, If it does, I'd comment it out. | 22:20 |
| Vustom | should i be worried? | 22:20 |
| Toph2 | mmInd_,,, let me check | 22:20 |

| azizLIGHTS | the thing that comes at the prompt... ubuntu@ip-202-99-xx:~$ how do i change the hostname part? is this advisable or not | 22:21 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: honestly, I would take the thing back considering it's under warranty | 22:21 |
| shawn146 | i jsut saw that... | 22:21 |
| howoriginalAU | Konsole: very much so | 22:21 |
| shawn146 | it didn't help me | 22:21 |
| Cyberfusion | the problem with overheating laptops is it posses a serious health hazard | 22:21 |
| Konsole | Gump, I agree... Take it back dude... That is WAY to hot | 22:21 |
| Cyberfusion | if it the battery cells overheat and burst | 22:21 |
| howoriginalAU | Cyberfusion: yes, if the whole battery explodes | 22:21 |
| Gump | GUYS GUYS GUYS. my computer has been running at over 200 degrees for 2 years. it works fine, srs. the problem right now is my cpu is running over 70% with no processes open | 22:21 |
| howoriginalAU | yeah | 22:21 |
| iceroot | !hostname | azizLIGHTS | 22:21 |
| ubottu | azizLIGHTS: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 22:21 |
| CoolHandLouis | YankDownUnder: Update on my network connectivity issue (please forgive my newbieness)... I did some googling on what you recommended "open the Network Manager, edit the ethernet settings...etc.". As it turns out, my VB Ubuntu has an icon that says "Networking Disabled". My /etc/networks/interfaces file only contained "auto lo / iface lo inet loopback". I added "auto eth0 / iface eth0 inet dhcp" and rebooted. Still no luc | 22:21 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: Well if it's doing that with no processes open, something is wrong with it | 22:21 |
| Akuw | where can i get supertux2 source code | 22:22 |
| Gump | but it started last night after an update. ergo, software problem | 22:22 |
| howoriginalAU | Do you have windows on your computer as well? Does it only happen in Ubuntu? (not that I can see why it happens) | 22:22 |
| Gump | also i wanted to use the word ergo | 22:22 |
| azizLIGHTS | iceroot: is ip-209-99-xx the hostname ? | 22:22 |
| Athenon | a cpu running at 98C is never a software problem XD | 22:22 |
| tehneophyt | bonsoir | 22:22 |
| Gump | howlymowly, yes. windows idles at like 1% cpu use | 22:22 |
| Athenon | unless it's overclocked, of course | 22:22 |
| iceroot | azizLIGHTS: yes | 22:22 |
| howlymowly | jesus christ.... | 22:22 |
| Gump | no, its underclocked | 22:22 |
| Cyberfusion | Seriously check into those bios settings man | 22:22 |
| iceroot | Akuw: apt-get source supertux2 | 22:22 |
| erkan^ | !fosdem | 22:22 |
| iceroot | Akuw: it will bring the source-package with the source-code | 22:23 |
| Akuw | supertux2 is stable? | 22:23 |
| Gump | my bios won't let me edit it directly. goddamn gateway | 22:23 |
| Cyberfusion | ha i hear you i hate gateway | 22:23 |
| mello | hey, is it a way to prevent wine from opening games in fullscreen? | 22:23 |
| Gump | so i can only underclock it in windows through a GUI underclocking utility. is there a way to do it from ubuntu also? | 22:23 |
| Cyberfusion | mello: run the games in windowed mode from within their settings | 22:23 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: alright, so we've identified it to ubuntu. Perhaps ubuntu has something wrong in identifying with your hardware? | 22:23 |
| howoriginalAU | howlymowly: lol | 22:23 |
| Leif|mob | two of my comps boot fine with grub om My usb stick, but not the 3rd (it does boot a liveimage using syslinux though). Can I simplify grub.cfg somehow to make it more compatible? or how do i change bootloader? | 22:23 |
| iceroot | mello: winecfg and there you can set that every wine application will run in a window(own desktop) | 22:23 |
| Gump | howoriginalAU, i don't think that is the case, because yesterday my cpu was idling at around 0% cpu use | 22:24 |
| gian | R: hi all..gnunet does'nt run | 22:24 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: Didn't you say it's been doing this for 2 years? Or do you mean it's just been at 98 c for two years... | 22:24 |
| Gump | yeah, it's been running hot for 2 years | 22:24 |
| yoshie | New to ubuntu, 10.10 64 bit with Nvidia geforce GT 240 , trying to install and it freezes | 22:24 |
| Toph2 | mmInd_,,, thanks, it was still listed | 22:24 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: oh righto, can you find the updates that you installed yesterday? | 22:24 |
| mmInd_ | Toph2, np | 22:24 |
| mello | iceroot: ok, is it under Graphics? cant seem to find it | 22:25 |
| hercury | yoshie: are you using the desktop install? Try the alternate install disk | 22:25 |
| g_0_0 | !yoshie | nomodeset | 22:25 |
| Gump | howoriginalAU, how can i check update history? | 22:25 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: also, type ps -e into a terminal and copy / paste it into a paste bin | 22:25 |
| Gump | iirc it was a google chrome update, and something else insignificant | 22:25 |
| yoshie | hercury: Im using the one you download off ubuntu.com the iso file than a DVD | 22:25 |
| g_0_0 | !nomodeset | yoshie | 22:25 |
| azizLIGHTS | iceroot: my /etc/hosts doesnt contain my current hostname as it is shown in /etc/hostname so why do i have to put the new and old hostname into /etc/hosts if it doesnt matter | 22:25 |
| yoshie | g_o_o: do I type that in the options? | 22:26 |
| iceroot | azizLIGHTS: /etc/hosts will translate your hostname into the ip-adress it is using | 22:26 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: I think this is it: On 10.04 Click (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager > File > History) | 22:26 |
| Gump | howoriginalAU, http://pastebin.com/NhKqqNdX | 22:26 |
| iceroot | azizLIGHTS: /etc/hostname is defining your hostname | 22:26 |
| howoriginalAU | should be the same for 10.10 | 22:26 |
| howoriginalAU | Synaptic didn't change | 22:27 |
| iceroot | mello: dont have wine installed to i cant look but if i am correct it was under graphics and was called "virtual desktop" | 22:27 |
| usr13 | is there a channel for mint-linux? | 22:27 |
| Gump | Synaptic package manager only shows installs from like 6 months ago. nothing recent | 22:27 |
| maco | !mintsupport | 22:27 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 22:27 |
| usr13 | or Linx-Mint what ever...? | 22:27 |

| usr13 | maco: Txn | 22:27 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: well it looks like you have SIX chromium browsers open in the background (or you have them open now), but I'm not sure if that would affect it | 22:27 |
| Starminn | How do yoshie: I think he's talking about this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html | 22:27 |

| nowarninglabel | Anyone know what I should export a revelation password file as from my Ubuntu box so that it can be read on Mac? Or know of a password manager for mac that reads Revelation passwords? | 22:28 |
| Gump | howoriginalAU, system monitor shows them all using zero cpu | 22:28 |
| paul_webblake | I'm having trouble with an Apache httpd module. Is there a good channel for that? | 22:28 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump, can you go into terminal and type in top | 22:28 |
| azizLIGHTS | iceroot: this is what /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts show": http://pastebin.com/TK289PKx | 22:28 |
| howoriginalAU | after you type in top, press shift-P | 22:28 |
| howoriginalAU | it'll show you the percentage of CPU use | 22:28 |
| howoriginalAU | and what program is using the most | 22:28 |
| Gump | something called lp is using 100% | 22:29 |
| Gump | Xorg is using 25% | 22:29 |
| howoriginalAU | ....interesting - on the left under PID can you tell me what number it has? | 22:29 |
| Gump | 1365 for lp | 22:29 |
| joshuacarmack | hey, can anyone help me installing windows programs on ubuntu? i have tried using wine but it just isnt working | 22:29 |
| howoriginalAU | alright, sudo kill 1365 should stop it | 22:30 |
| Konsole | I think that is a daemon for hp printers lol | 22:30 |
| residentgrey | there are the wine alts | 22:30 |
| howoriginalAU | Konsole: I think so too | 22:30 |
| nowarninglabel | joshuacarmack: You could try crossover | 22:30 |
| accel | what's the best way to install haskell 7.0 on ubuntu 10.10 ? (i'd prefer to rip out 6.12 afterwards) | 22:30 |
| Gump | dudewut. that worked | 22:30 |
| joshuacarmack | nowarninglabel, is it free? | 22:30 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: it did? Sweet | 22:30 |
| Gump | my cpu use dropped to 5% and my core is down to 190* F. lol | 22:30 |
| Konsole | was it the lp process? | 22:30 |
| Gump | thanks guys | 22:30 |
| nowarninglabel | joshuacarmack: no | 22:30 |
| Gump | yes | 22:30 |
| Konsole | Lol! nice. | 22:30 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: lol no worries, that's the first time I've ever successfully helped someone hahaha | 22:30 |
| joshuacarmack | nowarninglabel, know anything free? | 22:31 |
| Gump | nice | 22:31 |
| Konsole | howoriginalAU, lmao | 22:31 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: now it's probably a good idea to find out what exactly lp is, and if you don't need it - uninstall it | 22:31 |
| nowarninglabel | joshuacarmack: sure don't, but it's a nice product for the price, certainly worth the time savings | 22:31 |
| residentgrey | there are three 'programs' to emulate windows environments but the names escape me | 22:31 |
| Gump | well someone mentioned a printer daemon. i think that's it, cause the problem started last night while i was having printer trouble | 22:31 |
| azizLIGHTS | iceroot: so i just put 'beast' into /etc/hostname in place of 'ip-10-202-9-237' and then do what in /etc/hosts? if my current /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname shows this: http://pastebin.com/TK289PKx | 22:31 |
| genii-around | howoriginalAU: Uninstall their line printer? | 22:31 |
| residentgrey | caldera, wine, and a third | 22:31 |
| Konsole | Gump, i believe thats what it is as well is a hp printer daemon | 22:32 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: Excellent - just as a test, do a restart and see if it starts up again. I'm curious as to whether it's a startup program | 22:32 |
| Gump | also, i think i'm gonna return this computer now. i just realized i have a burn on my leg from the heat sink | 22:32 |
| Gump | alright, will do. brb | 22:32 |
| xXnitzscheXx | anybody know how to change the default install path for software. i.e. another drive | 22:32 |

| elise | is it better? | 22:36 |
| howoriginalAU | elise: because it's not Microsoft - Microsoft is like one of those women you wake up to and realise you were way too drunk last night | 22:36 |
| Gump | wat. it's back to 100% cpu use and now killing lp doesn't work | 22:36 |
| greppy | !ot | elise xXnitzscheXx | 22:36 |
| Guest51241 | hmm | 22:36 |
| YankDownUnder | CoolHandLouis, What I'm thinking is that you could always delete the eth0, restart the VB image, re-add the ethernet and see if that resolves the issue. | 22:36 |
| ubottu | elise xXnitzscheXx: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 22:36 |
| Konsole | Guest51241, how do you like the R2? I have yet to play with it.. (currently on it now) | 22:36 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: alright, try the top command again | 22:36 |
| schnuffle | xXnitzscheXx: to change the install path you'll have to compile it yourself | 22:36 |
| Gump | wait, no the ID just changed. lp was still the problem | 22:36 |
| elise | okay convinced. | 22:36 |
| howoriginalAU | elise: hahaha | 22:36 |
| Konsole | howoriginalAU, Throwing CPU out window is always a 100% fix right? | 22:37 |
| Gump | huh. i wonder why a printer daemon would do that | 22:37 |
| viliny | got a borken ubuntu here from nvidia driver installation, any tips to fix this so i can run gnome again? | 22:37 |
| === root is now known as Guest69640 | ||
| howoriginalAU | Konsole: not if it starts a bushfire in your garden | 22:37 |
| Gump | lol | 22:37 |
| Konsole | howoriginalAU, lmao | 22:37 |
| CoolHandLouis | YankDownUnder... I just added eth0 to the file and rebooted. There is nothing listed under System / Preferences / Network connections. Is this correct??? | 22:37 |
| Gump | i'm pretty sure my cpu would actually start a fire | 22:37 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: well if it's trying to page your printer unsuccessfully, it would be doing it over and over and causing your cpu to be loaded up | 22:37 |
| RobotCow | Starminn -> thanks for that. im looking into it now. | 22:37 |
| Konsole | if it burns ur leg it most def prob would. | 22:37 |
| howoriginalAU | So what sort of printer do you have, Gump? | 22:38 |
| paul_webblake | Question: I'm getting segmentation faults in apache httpd. I've already isolated the issue: openssl. It's been documented at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/openssl/+bug/590639. It says it's been fixed in maverick, but I'm still getting the error. | 22:38 |
| === nick is now known as Guest73163 | ||
| Konsole | howorginalAU, why would it be paging his printer if its currently not plugged in and detecting it? | 22:38 |
| Gump | howoriginalAU, it was a samsung laser printer iirc | 22:38 |
| nowarninglabel | man this sucks, is there not a secure way to export an encrypted password list from Ubuntu -> Mac | 22:38 |
| YankDownUnder | CoolHandLouis, REMOVE any ethernet connection, reboot the image, then add again...?? | 22:38 |
| Gump | i tried printing something, and my battery died while it was trying to page the printer | 22:38 |
| howoriginalAU | Konsole: lol hey I'm still new to this, one thing at a time :P I'm trying to look intelligent here (unsuccessfully, but a fools hope...) | 22:38 |
| Starminn | RobotCow: After looking into that a little more, that program downloads random images (following a genre you specify) and cycles through them, For local files I'd maybe try this. (I don't know if you can do local with the one I gave you before) http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/07/create-backgroundwallpaper-slideshows-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-crebs/ | 22:39 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: Hmmm, I'm just thinking about whether uninstalling the driver and then reinstalling it would work - but I'm not quite sure how to do it | 22:39 |
| Konsole | howoriginalAU, lawl... Im just throwing things out there... but is it possible to uninstall the lp in the package manager? | 22:39 |
| Deddly | I'm trying to fix my XP partition with Ubuntu, can anyone help me? | 22:39 |
| Gump | well, killing it is a temporary fix. i can figure the rest out over time | 22:39 |
| Gump | ok, does anyone have any experience dealing with best buy and their warranties? i've been trying to deal with them for months, and they are making returning this computer impossible | 22:40 |
| howoriginalAU | Konsole: that's a good point | 22:40 |
| CoolHandLouis | YankDownUnder - Just to clarify - that would mean deleting the few lines I added to /etc/networks/interfaces, rebooting, and then going back and adding those lines to /etc/networks/interfaces, and then rebooting again? | 22:40 |
| Gump | since this computer is apparently defective, can i return it and ask for a computer of equivalent value? | 22:40 |
| Gump | cause they don't make this model any more | 22:40 |
| schnuffle | !ot | Gump | 22:40 |
| ubottu | Gump: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 22:40 |
| Gump | :( | 22:40 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: As I said, just bring a kettle with you (full of water), sit it on the back and when it boils, ask them for a refund politely | 22:40 |
| Gump | fine, i'll go find the best buy irc | 22:40 |
| RobotCow | Starminn -> yeah i noticed that. 10.10 has ability to do this slideshow wallpaper on its own like win7 does. I'd like to do it using the way those default slideshow wallpapers are done. | 22:40 |
| YankDownUnder | CoolHandLouis, Yeppers mate. | 22:40 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: lol | 22:40 |
| Konsole | lol | 22:40 |
| Gump | alright, well. thanks for the help guys | 22:41 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: no worries - if I find out anything about uninstalling the printer driver I'll let you know | 22:41 |
| Gump | thx | 22:41 |
| Konsole | Gump, i'd check the package manager and see if u can do a simple package uninstall from the manager | 22:42 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: Konsole has a good idea there - give it a go | 22:42 |
| Gump | i tried sudo apt-get remove lp and no such package was found | 22:42 |
| Konsole | Gump, lp may be the process name but not the package name | 22:42 |
| Starminn | RobotCow: Yeah you can do it by default without downloading anything but that involves making some XML files poitning to the pics and setting transition times. Same effect, just manually. This one looks promising though if you like GUIs: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/07/create-backgroundwallpaper-slideshows-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-crebs/ I'm trying it out myself atm | 22:43 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: try going into synaptic package manager itself and searching for lp in the search box | 22:43 |
| Ddorda | hey guys. i'm looking for a way to find out if the user who i SSH to is locally logged in. ideas? | 22:43 |
| Gump | will do | 22:43 |
| _jesse_ | Gump: I think it's part of cups | 22:43 |
| howoriginalAU | _jesse_: yeah when I had a look a whole heap of CUPS related things came up | 22:44 |
| _jesse_ | howoriginalAU: :) | 22:44 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: when you get there, just type out all the things that you see are installed into a pastebin and I'll have a look | 22:44 |
| paul_webblake | lp might not be easy to get rid of | 22:44 |
| Konsole | _jesse_, hmm... | 22:44 |
| === WinstonSmith_ is now known as WinstonSmith | ||
| KirkMcDonald | Ddorda: who | 22:44 |
| Gump | howoriginalAU, alright, will do | 22:44 |
| Konsole | gump, could maybe try rmmod lp | 22:45 |
| howoriginalAU | paul_webblake: that's what worries me | 22:45 |
| Ddorda | KirkMcDonald: i'll try it. thanks | 22:45 |
| Gump | goddamn it. i reinstalled cups and its back to 100% cpu usage | 22:45 |
| hercury | Konsole: wtf? dont do that | 22:45 |
| Deddly | Can anyone help? I'm dual booting Ubuntu and XP. XP crashed horribly and now the XP cd says it can't see the hard drive. I understand this is because I also have Linux installed...so what should I do? | 22:45 |
| _jesse_ | Deddly: can the BIOS see the drive? | 22:46 |
| Gump | ok, so reinstalling cups restarted lp and it went back to 100% cpu usage. | 22:46 |
| hercury | Gump: do "/etc/init.d/cups stop" and see if that helps | 22:46 |
| _jesse_ | Gump: do you have anything in your queue? `lpq` | 22:46 |
| Deddly | _jesse_: Yes, it loads into Grub no problem | 22:47 |
| hercury | Gump: you'll have to use sudo | 22:47 |
| Gump | _jesse_, yes, i do. a print job from august 2010... lol | 22:47 |
| Konsole | Ah. | 22:47 |
| _jesse_ | Deddly: so you put in the XP CD to reinstall and it says it doesn't see the drive? | 22:47 |
| _jesse_ | Gump: :P might want to cancel that | 22:47 |
| Konsole | _jesse_, lol -.- | 22:47 |
| Konsole | Gump, you mentioned the power went out on ur printer while it was trying to print something correct? | 22:48 |
| _jesse_ | Gump: you can use `cancel` | 22:48 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: if that works I'm gonna be so impressed | 22:48 |
| extra11 | can't wait till new ubuntu, gonna rock | 22:48 |
| Gump | Konsole, power went out on computer | 22:48 |
| Deddly | _jesse_: That's right | 22:48 |
| _jesse_ | Gump: cancel -a | 22:48 |
| Gump | yeah, i canceled all the jobs. now restarting cups | 22:49 |
| Gump | aaaaaaaannnnndddd.... it f***ing worked. | 22:49 |
| Gump | WAT | 22:49 |
| howoriginalAU | _jesse_: you win | 22:49 |
| _jesse_ | Deddly: I'd try asking #windows then; linux wouldn't be fiddling with the BIOS so it's unrelated | 22:49 |
| _jesse_ | :D | 22:49 |
| aroman | hey, all. I'm trying to install dbus via dpkg in a chroot environment and it's failing. what's up with this? | 22:49 |
| howoriginalAU | I'm highly interested as to how it was using 100% of the CPU though | 22:49 |
| Gump | lol problem solved. haha i love ubuntu | 22:49 |
| _jesse_ | Deddly: I know XP has issues with certain types of drives if you don't load additional drivers | 22:50 |
| howoriginalAU | even if it's paging the printer all day, 100% cpu usage is insane | 22:50 |
| genii-around | aroman: Probably because things like /dev /proc and so on are unpopulated | 22:50 |
| Konsole | _jesse_, A+ for you myfriend | 22:50 |
| howoriginalAU | Konsole: nothing like a fresh set of eyes for a problem :) | 22:50 |
| Gump | yeah, thanks _jesse_ | 22:50 |
| Deddly | _jesse_: OK, thanks for the advice, I'll check there, then | 22:50 |
| _jesse_ | :) np, it was mostly a shot in the dark | 22:51 |
| Konsole | howorginalAU, agreed. :) | 22:51 |
| aroman | genii-around: Ah, can you suggest a workaround? | 22:51 |
| tacomaster | good afternoon #ubuntu :P | 22:51 |
| Gump | does anyone here game in ubuntu? i'm trying to optimize wine for gaming, and i'm not getting very good performance. HDR lighting won't work, and fps is very low. is that just how wine is these days? | 22:51 |
| Konsole | _jesse_, that's typically how most things are. | 22:51 |
| paul_webblake | Is anyone here experienced with Apache modules? | 22:51 |
| _jesse_ | Konsole: haha true, true | 22:51 |
| tacomaster | Gump: i play world of warcraft with wine | 22:51 |
| hercury | Gump: what game? | 22:52 |
| Gump | i'm trying to get S.T.A.L.K.E.R. call of pripyat working well | 22:52 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: it's probably best to ask in #wine, but I've had some experience with Wine as well - haven't been overly successful on my part but I think it has something to do with my hardware | 22:52 |
| genii-around | aroman: Prior to chroot you can loopmount actual /dev and /proc to /dev and /proc within chroot dir, then chroot in and try | 22:52 |
| Gump | but so far i'm barely getting 15 fps and no HDR lighting | 22:52 |
| Gump | howoriginalAU, thanks. i'll check with #wine | 22:52 |
| tacomaster | Gump: what video card do you have? | 22:52 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: Have you been to WineHQ AppDB? IT should tell you how to set it up | 22:52 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump, however WineHQ in my opinion has very crap instructions that aren't beginner friendly most of the time | 22:53 |
| Gump | yeah. it just says how to install it/winetricks. but nothing about performance | 22:53 |
| Konsole | howoriginalAU, no they arent at all lol | 22:53 |
| Gump | video card is ati mobility radeon hd 2600 | 22:53 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: also sorry, the channel is #winehq | 22:54 |
| Gump | kind of a shit card, but it runs STALKER CoP at 30+ fps under windows | 22:54 |
| HotrootsoupTitan | Hey | 22:54 |
| gpc | Gump: Please keep the language clean | 22:54 |
| Gump | my bad | 22:54 |
| HotrootsoupTitan | Having awful problems with Natty | 22:54 |
| tacomaster | Gump: i have learned that you get alittle less fps in linux as you do with windows | 22:54 |
| aroman | HotrootsoupTitan: #ubuntu+1 | 22:54 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: lol. Also if it runs around 30 fps in windows, there maybe less because of the emulation in linux | 22:54 |
| howoriginalAU | as Tacomaster said | 22:54 |
| Gump | :( | 22:55 |
| Gump | kinda figured. oh well | 22:55 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: not to fret, #winehq should be able to help you though - I've just moved there now as well to figure out stuff | 22:55 |
| gmachine24 | Is it possible to dl free podcasts from itunes using something like wget or anything else? | 22:55 |
| Gump | it sucks too, cause games like minecraft that don't have to run through wine perform wayyyy better on ubuntu | 22:55 |
| howoriginalAU | Gump: yeah unfortunately there aren't many Windows games that are also linux natives, but some of the best games thankfully are (like Doom 3, Amnesia) | 22:56 |
| tacomaster | Gump: i went from like 80 fps in wow to like 50-60 fps range but i hated windows so it was worth it for me | 22:56 |
| gordonjcp | Gump: I found it was worth paying for one of the "commercial" Wine versions | 22:56 |
| _jesse_ | gmachine24: you can get them from the source of the cast; I don't think you can query iTunes though | 22:56 |
| gordonjcp | Gump: at least for Half-Life 2 | 22:56 |
| Gump | gordonjcp, really... which one do you use? | 22:56 |
| howoriginalAU | gordonjcp: I was thinking of doing the same as well, crossover games also supports the free version of wine | 22:56 |
| _jesse_ | gmachine24: afaik podcasts have a url they list with iTunes of an XML file describing where the podcasts can be found | 22:57 |
| gordonjcp | Gump: now I find that HL2 runs just as well under normal Wine, since they folded their bugfixes (but not enhancements) back upstream | 22:57 |
| HotrootsoupTitan | Nobody in ubuntu+1 cares... | 22:57 |
| Gump | yeah, half-life 2 didn't work very well on wine for me | 22:57 |
| gordonjcp | Gump: I can't remember, I haven't played HL2 for ages | 22:57 |
| gordonjcp | Gump: when I did play it the limitation was far more to do with my crappy Geforce 7300GT than wine | 22:57 |
| gmachine24 | _jesse_ so I can find the URL of this XML file how? | 22:57 |
| _jesse_ | gmachine24: not sure, I'm not really familiar with iTunes | 22:57 |
| Gump | yeah, my gpu is definitely a bottleneck. worst problem is overheating though lol | 22:58 |
| dwbear75 | gmachine24: you should take a look at podracer, podget, or hpodder. | 22:58 |
| Gump | i had to underclock my cpu and gpu to play mass effect 2 cause my system kept dying | 22:58 |
| dwbear75 | is there a dolphon irc group? | 22:58 |
| dwbear75 | correction 'dolphin' as in the file manager | 22:58 |
| gmachine24 | I tried d/l from the source, cnbc.com, but they hide the d/l link in a mass of code | 22:58 |
| gmachine24 | dwbear75: thank you. these work with itunes? | 22:59 |
| dwbear75 | gmachine24: no idea. | 22:59 |

| j_anon2 | is it better to name an app as a single word or with underscores, i.e. "codedownloader" or "code_downloader" | 23:00 |

| howoriginalAU | noodleking: and? | 23:04 |
| paul_webblake | I asked, this question earlier, but I didn't get a response: I'm getting segmentation faults in apache httpd. I've already isolated the issue: openssl. It's been documented at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/openssl/+bug/590639. It says it's been fixed in maverick, but I'm still getting the error. | 23:05 |
| noodleking | my Ubuntu was on a logical partition (format Ext4) and had a separate swap file (also logical) | 23:05 |
| dwbear75 | looking at davfs2, can anyone comment on how well it works? | 23:05 |
| noodleking | but I rushed through the Debian install and now find that Grub doesn't list my Ubuntu | 23:05 |

| RobotCow | Starminn -> ok thanks | 23:07 |
| jotgroup | what program with joshua? | 23:07 |
| KB1JWQ | joshuacarmack: "It's not working" is a crappy problem description. :-) | 23:07 |

| Starminn | RobotCow: Here it is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478700 | 23:07 |
| noodleking | thanks howoriginalAU, but I think I'd need help with editing the file as I've never done that before (this is my first attempt at a multi-boot Linux system) | 23:08 |

I've tried as my user and as root. I've never seen this before - what could be going on? Completely fresh install of squeeze/sid | 23:08 |

| howoriginalAU | noodleking: yeah I apologise that I don't know, I really want to help you out. I'll try and dig up some info from google though? | 23:09 |
| jotgroup | joshuacarmack, what are the symptoms, is it getting an error message, or just nothing hapening??? | 23:09 |
| LYoung | anyone here who can help me with network interfaces? | 23:09 |
| deww | rcl: see if it's really a shell script of some type. head -n 10 file.sh and also file file.sh | 23:09 |
| joshuacarmack | jotgroup, it seemed to install, i open the program and it just looks like its going to open, like it has the icon on the bottom sayings its opening up, then nothing | 23:09 |
| fridgerator | does anyone have experience installing CoverGloobus? it seams the PPA is down, and i cant get it to manually install | 23:10 |
| rcl | deww: yep first line #!/bin/sh and file says 'POSIX shell script text executable' | 23:10 |
| jotgroup | joshuacarmac, hold on ill look into it for you | 23:10 |
| noodleking | howoriginalAU, thanks :) | 23:10 |
| sbshah | LYoung you should probably just go ahead and type your question | 23:10 |
| genii-around | aroman: Yup. Since if you're doing something like making a bootable iso from the stuff in the chroot, it will self-populate the right dirs during it's boot process | 23:10 |
| joshuacarmack | jotgroup, thank you | 23:10 |
| deww | rcl: does chmod +x file.sh and ./file.sh work? | 23:11 |
| howoriginalAU | noodleking: it's probably best to ask some of the experts in here though | 23:11 |
| LYoung | I need help connecting my debian to the network... /sbin/ifconfig only lists lo | 23:11 |
| rcl | deww: but ./file.sh gives me "/bin/sh: Can't open ./file.sh" Yep it's chmod +x It's -rwx r-x r-x | 23:11 |
| aroman | genii-around: So effectively I'm using the "host" OS's folders as a workaround to trick dpkg? | 23:11 |
| deww | rcl: ok. where's your "sh" located? :) | 23:12 |

| jotgroup | joshuacarmack, any other software you could use? | 23:12 |
| genii-around | aroman: So long as it's a chroot environment with same OS for same architecture | 23:12 |
| noodleking | howoriginalAU, I'm checking google for some help too | 23:12 |
| joshuacarmack | jotgroup, i tried installing the demo of crossover, but im new to using the terminal and i couldnt get it to install | 23:13 |
| noodleking | I think it should be relatively simple, once I know the file to edit and the path to my Ubuntu kernal | 23:13 |
| aroman | genii-around: Yeah, it is. It's actually a respin of Ubuntu maverick into another distro | 23:13 |
| rcl | deww: but what's strange is how head was able to read some of this, file can figure out what it is, but I can't opn en the file in vim and presumably via "/bin/sh" either. Which makes me think the OS is stopping me from loading 3.2GB in to memory or the FS is preventing me from addressing that large of a file, or something like that | 23:13 |
| Gump | how come .doc files saved from open office often look messed up in ms word? | 23:13 |

| Bushman | Gump: both | 23:13 |

| Gulfstream | I need to install the Belkin F5D8053 v3000 driver in Ubuntu 10.04.2, but I do not want to use ndiswrapper. How can I do that? (Belkin F5D8053 N USB V3000) | 23:44 |
| MylesMan | in xterm how do enlarge the font | 23:44 |
| g_0_0 | LYoung, no ip address? | 23:44 |
| Simisu | nejode... thank... but what IS a linux compatible partition? | 23:44 |
| LYoung | just has inet6 | 23:44 |
| g_0_0 | LYoung, and the connection is working? | 23:45 |
| Starminn | Smisu: Yep, what nehode said. So you need something like ext4 (Linux-compatible) mounted as root "/", you need a swap partition, then Windows goes on the NTFS partition. | 23:45 |
| nejode | Simisu, formatted in ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, etc | 23:45 |
| LYoung | well I don't know how to test it | 23:45 |
| g_0_0 | ping LYoung | 23:45 |
| g_0_0 | LYoung, ping www.google.com | 23:45 |
| Starminn | Simisu: The most common Linux ones are ext* from what I've seen. | 23:45 |
| LYoung | how do I know what to ping if I don't know it's ip address? | 23:45 |
| nejode | Simisu, you cannot install ubuntu on a NTFS partition | 23:46 |
| g_0_0 | in terminal type - ping www.google.com | 23:46 |
| edwardteach | !partition | 23:46 |
| ubottu | For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap | 23:46 |
| === zz_hsa2 is now known as hsa2 | ||
| LYoung | g_0_0 : network is unreachable | 23:46 |
| Simisu | and how do i do that then? the lacie drive didn't give me the option for that... or maybe i just fucked up because i wanted to make different partitions and i wasn't sure i would be able to later? blah... | 23:47 |
| chrono86 | does anyone else use the network manager indicator applet? (not the notification one, the new one) | 23:47 |
| g_0_0 | LYoung, ok give me one sec I'll be with you in a moment | 23:47 |
| Starminn | Simisu: Do you have an Ubuntu LiveCD? | 23:47 |
| tacomaster | LYoung: if that is from a ping command did you ping a domain or a ip? | 23:47 |
| Simisu | yup i do... | 23:47 |
| Simisu | ? | 23:48 |
| Starminn | alright, so here's what you can do: Pop it in and boot up from it. Go to System->Administration->GParted and make those partitions. One for Linux root "/", one for Linux swap, and one for Windows as NTFS. | 23:48 |
| g_0_0 | LYoung, after auto eth5 - add - iface eth5 inet dhcp - to /etc/network/interfaces | 23:48 |
| chrono86 | my wireless icon in the indicator applet always shows the icon for 0 signal strength, no matter what icon theme i use | 23:49 |
| === _N0DEH is now known as N0DEH | ||
| g_0_0 | LYoung, then type - sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 23:49 |
| g_0_0 | LYoung, in fact try the restart first | 23:49 |
| Starminn | Simisu: Then you install Windows to the NTFS partition. After doing that, install Linux onto the ext4 (or whatever you choose) mounted at "root" or "/" and make the swap the swap partition you make. | 23:49 |
| g_0_0 | LYoung, then ping like b4 | 23:49 |
| fuber28 | Can someone help me get java on ubuntu | 23:49 |
| jrib | !java | fuber28 | 23:49 |
| ubottu | fuber28: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 23:49 |
| LYoung | reboot when done g_0_0 ? | 23:50 |
| tucemiux | did updates get sent for the kernel??? I'm using this kernel: 2.6.35-24-generic | 23:50 |
| === N0DEH is now known as Ha4s- | ||
| g_0_0 | LYoung, you shouldn't need to reboot | 23:50 |
| g_0_0 | LYoung, just type in terminal - sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 23:51 |
| Pici | tucemiux: Yes. Maverick updates/security is up to 2.6.35-25.44 | 23:51 |
| Simisu | starminn: so then i could go back on windows and partition the rest of the drive for windows? (meaning basically storage of stuff... i won't install windows on that drive!) | 23:52 |
| Simisu | ? | 23:52 |
| tucemiux | Pici, all right, thanks, I was just wondering 'cos I got a message saying I was updated from an untrusted source or whatever, didnt upgrade then but now im being adventerous and upgrading wirelessly o_O | 23:52 |
| azizLIGHTS | how to increase the speed of my ssh tunnel: http://www.speedtest.net/result/1147425074.png | 23:52 |
| azizLIGHTS | im using ssh -D | 23:52 |
| s0u][ight | hello, can i dump the current brightness setting using setpci? | 23:52 |
| azizLIGHTS | what to change on the sshd? | 23:52 |
| Pici | tucemiux: More likely because you failed to 'apt-get update' properly, try it again. | 23:52 |
| Starminn | Simisu: Oh, so you're saying the blank drive you have now isn't going to have Windows on it? Only going to be storage for Windows? | 23:52 |
| Simisu | yes | 23:53 |
| LYoung | alrighty, g_0_0 that did it | 23:53 |
| g_0_0 | LYoung, excellent you can try a reboot now just to check it comes up automatically | 23:54 |
| Simisu | i will keep runing windows on the machine because i'll be sharing the drive with my girlfriend's laptop... hoping to have a shared desktop via the linux installed on it | 23:54 |
| tucemiux | Pici, i didnt get the same error again, probably 'cos I did an apt-get update some time ago, Im upgrading now, hopefully it'll work after I reboot o_O | 23:54 |
| LYoung | not seeing any results on network activity though | 23:55 |
| g_0_0 | LYoung, ping is working have you tried a web page? | 23:55 |
| edwardteach | chrono86, have you tried cat /proc/net/wireless iwconfg to see if its there card not reading the signal ? | 23:56 |
| Starminn | Simisu: So what you're wanting to do (just so we have everything sstraight here ebfore I tell you wrong) is you want to have a partition for file sharing (That ideally both Windows and Linux can access), and the partitions needed to install Linux. | 23:56 |
| edwardteach | chrono86, i mean or iwconfg | 23:57 |
| Starminn | Simisu: That is correct? | 23:57 |
| tbic | How do I set it so I can select what session I want to use in GDM? when I log in | 23:57 |
| Simisu | exactly... | 23:57 |
| fuber28 | K guys what can I do to get rid of this error I keep getting with every install | 23:58 |

| trond- | has anyone here experienced screen flickering (using 10.10 on a dell e4310 - an i3 intel core)? | 23:58 |
| Gulfstream | I need to install the driver for the Ralink RT2870 (USB) Wireless card (Linux), but I am not sure how... can anyone help? | 23:58 |
| g_0_0 | Gulfstream, did you download the driver? | 23:59 |
| shane4ubuntu | ok, I'm working in Kubuntu, chromium completely locked up on me, I tried killall chromium-browser and that didn't work, found the pid and tried kill -9 pid and chromium is still on my desktop | 23:59 |
| Starminn | Simisu: Alright, I understand now. Okay, so Windows has issues reading a lot of formats unlike Linux, so what you'll want to do is this: Have three partitions. One for Linux (mounted as "/") install and usage which should be however large you think you'll need for programs and documents and such, you'll want a partition called "swap" for Linux which should be about 2GB (just to be safe), and you should make a partition that is formatt | 23:59 |
| Gulfstream | g_0_0: yes | 23:59 |
