|---|---|---|
| induz | ChogyDan, I have posted both | 00:00 |
| ChogyDan | induz: I see. What is your goal? The second one gives access to some third party software, and is more organized. Both will work though. You should probably just use the GUI | 00:01 |
| induz | GUI ChogyDan ?? | 00:02 |

| Photocopy | but I think I should take it one at a time so first; when I resize windows, the white border that displays for me what size the window will be when i let go leaves a 1px rectangle of white around the window that lingers until something passes over it | 00:06 |
| Photocopy | can I get rid of this somehow? | 00:06 |
| Abinadi | can someone point me in the right direction (I've searched and googled all over for) of an app (that I had once before on a different installation.) that will turn the trackpad on and off? In windows if I plug in my usb mouse it disables the touchpad. | 00:06 |
| induz | ChogyDan, it says Could not download all repository indexes | 00:07 |
| Photocopy | of course. | 00:07 |

| ChogyDan | lastm: no, sorry | 00:13 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, ok , although I know nothing about ati,,, open ccsm and go to the Utility category then click on the Workarounds plugin and see if "Force synchronization between X and GLX" is ticked | 00:13 |
| ChogyDan | induz: just check off what you want in the GUI | 00:14 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, I am not sure if this works with ati but cant hurt | 00:14 |
| a_p3rson | anyone know if there is a way to add a download/install queue to synaptic? | 00:14 |
| Photocopy | it is ticked, coz_ | 00:14 |
| induz | ChogyDan, so most of the repos are there in GUI | 00:15 |
| lastm | ChogyDan: I did make a copy of the ~/.gconf/apps/panel directory prior to its destruction. Is there anyway to find the offending entry in that directory? | 00:15 |
| eross | i'm going to install 10.10 onto a harddrive and am backing up. question is, it is ext3 from an old install and i find i have to reformat for ext4 and is recommended. Does ext4 read ext3 and winxp paritions? Will I have to reformat again for the next greatest filesystem? Or can I partition the ext3 to have a ext4 without deleting the contents of the harddrive? | 00:15 |
| aeon-ltd | a_p3rson: no, but really you should just mark everything you want before hand first | 00:15 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, ok now go into the Window management category and click on the Resize window plugin to get into its settings...also see what happens when you untick the Force synchronization box | 00:15 |
| rumpe1 | a_p3rson, a queue? | 00:15 |
| kylemm | I need help getting visual effects to work. I got the driver installed and my ctrl+alt+f1 works. Please help | 00:15 |
| ChogyDan | lastm: I actually don't know | 00:15 |
| rumpe1 | a_p3rson, well ... you can type something like "apt-get install packagea packageb packagec ..." | 00:15 |
| a_p3rson | because, when i want to install something, if synaptic is running (e.g., updates), i cant use another package manager | 00:16 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, in the Resize Window plugin click on the General tab and under the "Default Resize Mode" what do you have as the resize mode? | 00:16 |
| ChogyDan | lastm: but if you saved the file, you might be able to, you should go for it | 00:16 |
| Photocopy | coz | 00:16 |
| coz_ | a_p3rson, nope you can only use one pakcage manager at any given time | 00:16 |
| Photocopy | do you mean resize info plugin, coz_? | 00:16 |
| a_p3rson | so something like instead of making a new package manager session, just add it to the queue of the package manager on the fly | 00:16 |
| minimec | Photocopy: Ok. This could be my playground... The ati x1200 is a special version of the x1250 integrated chipset. It is supported (but not that good)... there is much going on on ati drivers. You may consider the x-edgers ppa and install the bleeding edge ATi drivers. Also if you are running ubuntu 10.04, swich to a 2.6.35 kernel. It has better support for ATi graphics. You will even have gallium 3d and a new 2.6.38 kernel in that ppa. I am ru | 00:16 |
| aeon-ltd | eross: people still use ext3 fine, also the filesystem type doesn't determine whether you can read other filesystems. just use ext4 if you'd like to but you will have to transfer data over via a copying method | 00:16 |
| Abinadi | can someone point me in the right direction (I've searched and googled all over for) of an app (that I had once before on a different installation.) that will turn the touchpad on and off? In windows if I plug in my usb mouse it disables the touchpad. | 00:16 |
| a_p3rson | @coz_ - nothing? | 00:16 |
| Photocopy | coz_: nevermind, you don't | 00:16 |
| lastm | ChogyDan: Yes. I'd hate to reload things onto the panel and be back to the no panel situation again. I just hate blazing trails if somebody has already done it. | 00:16 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, no its called the "Resize Window" plugin under Window management category | 00:16 |
| kylemm | Who can help me set up visual effects/ | 00:17 |
| Photocopy | coz_ I didn't see it | 00:17 |
| coz_ | a_p3rson, nope only one package manager at any given time | 00:17 |
| dancek | eross, if you've got ext3 you dont need to change the filesystem | 00:17 |
| Photocopy | coz_ default mode is rectangle | 00:17 |
| dancek | eross, ext3 can be mounted as ext4 | 00:17 |
| coz_ | Photocopy ok try "stretch" | 00:17 |
| ChogyDan | lastm: I just looked at my panel settings, and it looks hard to pick through. I would just reset it up myself. gl | 00:17 |
| a_p3rson | ok, and you cant modify the queue of like synaptic on the fly? | 00:17 |
| rumpe1 | a_p3rson, well... you could sure build something in bash .... | 00:17 |
| eross | 10.10 is saying it will format my primary hd if i install side-by-side | 00:17 |
| a_p3rson | @rumpe1 - i dont build, i use... | 00:18 |
| Photocopy | oof | 00:18 |
| rumpe1 | a_p3rson, apt-get -command and waiting till its finished... then another apt-get | 00:18 |
| gregko | hey where I can adjust mouse scroll-wheel speed? | 00:18 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, what happened? | 00:18 |
| rumpe1 | a_p3rson, well.. then... no :) | 00:18 |
| Photocopy | coz_ stretch works, doesnt leave anything behind but the graphical effect is the ugliest thing i have ever seen | 00:18 |
| Abinadi | kylemm, right click on your desktop, choose *change your desktop background* then use whatever features you want (including visual effects). | 00:18 |
| Photocopy | minimec; your message got cut off, can you type it in a pastebin? | 00:18 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, its my favorite :) but each to their own,,, try any of the other except "normal" | 00:18 |
| lastm | ChogyDan: Thanks. We'll see what happens. | 00:18 |
| MNSTRNRGG666 | anyone here tried ubuntu 11.04 and hated the new look? | 00:18 |

| coz_ | MNSTRNRGG666, you can log into classic gnome desktop | 00:19 |

| MNSTRNRGG666 | ubuntu 10.10 is amazing | 00:19 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, there you go...your card may not be able to handle that particular mode but keep testing to be sure | 00:19 |
| eross | dancek - tried that form 8.04 to 10.04, said too many errors and would not boot. had to use a usb boot | 00:19 |
| Photocopy | coz_ nevermind, outline still left a border | 00:19 |
| induz | thanks aeon-ltd | 00:19 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, ah | 00:19 |
| induz | i got it | 00:19 |

| === marius is now known as Guest9221 | ||
| dancek | eross, well 10.04 to 10.10 should be less problematic | 00:20 |
| minimec | Photocopy: ok. short. The x1200 x1250 series is much better supported with the x-edgers ppa (including gallium 3d and 2.6.35 and 2.6.38 kernel) | 00:20 |
| Photocopy | coz_ Or I could just use normal, it's fine actually | 00:20 |
| Photocopy | minimec; is that a ppa containing drivers? | 00:20 |
| coz_ | MNSTRNRGG666, well if you install natty,,, you have 2 choices netbook = Unity or classic gnome desktop | 00:20 |
| kylemm | Abinadi: it says cant enable | 00:20 |
| MNSTRNRGG666 | how do u log into classic gnome desktop in it? | 00:20 |

| induz | I install Opera, but i can not see it? | 00:20 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, normal is fine? generally that is extrememly video intensive since it has to redraw every single pixel of the window as you resize it | 00:20 |
| induz | do i have to restart ubuntu? | 00:21 |
| dancek | eross, i've never really understood people doing reinstalls so take my advice with a grain of salt | 00:21 |
| eross | Guest9221 - pls explain | 00:21 |
| Photocopy | coz_ it's not really slow or anything doing it and it doesnt look as bizarre as stretch | 00:21 |
| MNSTRNRGG666 | once i updated to 11 it put it into netbook | 00:21 |
| Photocopy | coz_ let me test a few windows | 00:21 |
| minimec | Photocopy: the ppa includes the bleeding edge xorg stuck including mesa gallium 3d driver (default in natty 11.04 for ATI cards) | 00:21 |
| Guest9221 | erros | 00:21 |
| Guest9221 | i'll explain | 00:21 |
| minimec | Photocopy: stack ... | 00:21 |

| eross | backing up and reinstalling for ext4 filesystem :P | 00:21 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, ok | 00:21 |
| Abinadi | kylemm, then your hardware may not support visual effects. I know that I can't enable visual effects if I'm running windows 7 as a host OS and have a Maverick VirtualBox | 00:22 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, also check in #radeon to see if they know of any issues with that card | 00:22 |

| soreau | ubuntu_: Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to ubuntu.pastebin.com (Hint: The operative word here is 'file') | 00:34 |

| Photocopy | I seem to be able to copy any file onto or off of my external drive and everything seems to be working correctly except for a folder full of music that a friend gave me. When I copy that music folder into my computer's hard drive, the file copy dialog stalls and i one by one get an error for each file | 00:35 |
| razorr1990 | thewanderer1: which ubuntu version do u have installed??the 9.10? | 00:35 |
| minimec | Photocopy: no problem. It's ppa-purge... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ppa-purge&suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names | 00:35 |
| soreau | ubuntu_: /var/log/Xorg.0.log is not a command, it's a file. You can however use this command to get a link to it though: sudo apt-get install curl && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 00:35 |
| thewanderer1 | razorr1990: actually I'm on Debian but was needing anyone with working ALSA with this hardware... | 00:35 |
| Photocopy | minimec; does that remove all ppas? I have added a ton of them | 00:35 |
| minimec | Photocopy: it would something like 'sudo ppa-purge x-edgers'. It only removes the given ppa. | 00:36 |
| Photocopy | good | 00:36 |
| Photocopy | thanks | 00:36 |

| coz_ | Photocopy, not sure I had a similar issue last week.,.. what I did was to remove ,,,one file at a time onto ubuntu,,, and the others I just cleaned the drive off,,, reformatted | 00:40 |
| soreau | ubuntu_: When you boot your live session, you do set your repos first and run apt-get update before trying to install any packages, right? | 00:40 |
| induz | or compiz | 00:40 |

| ubuntu_ | soreau: no | 00:41 |
| induz | I read the website but... | 00:41 |
| Photocopy | coz_; not able to backup everything on my drive to reformat it though | 00:41 |

| coz_ | Photocopy, ok not sure... check permissions on the music files | 00:41 |

| Photocopy | coz_: hmm, I got one of them to work, hold on | 00:42 |

| induz | itaylor57, should i install it? | 00:42 |
| Photocopy | coz_: Okay, it appears to be a problem with just the first album in alphabetical order | 00:43 |
| coz_ | aplund, http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ | 00:43 |
| induz | since past few days i am just downlaoding s/w and installing them hardly of any use | 00:43 |
| itaylor57 | induz: not if you haven't a clue how to use it or what it can do for you | 00:43 |
| eross | yes Guest9221 | 00:43 |

| Guest9221 | could you please tell me how i can respond to you directly like 'reply' or something | 00:43 |
| coz_ | aplund, sorry misunderstood | 00:43 |

| ubuntu_ | soreau: back | 00:45 |
| Photocopy | coz_: nevermind, i've got it narrowed down for sure to what the problem is | 00:45 |

| aplund | Pici: ok. But why is there no libcurl4 package? | 00:46 |
| Photocopy | coz_; it's struggling with the m4as | 00:46 |
| Photocopy | doesn't itunes use that format? | 00:46 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, hold on let me check something | 00:46 |
| Photocopy | could it be some kind of copy protection if its something he purchased? | 00:46 |
| induz | itaylor57, that VCS is not for me | 00:46 |
| Gnea | awww man, Chogydan left | 00:47 |
| induz | I pasted the 2 version of source lists which one to keep now?? | 00:47 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, you could convert the m4a files to wav | 00:47 |
| ubuntu_ | soreau: damn i thought getting the live of 10.10 would fix this stuff | 00:47 |
| Photocopy | coz_ it's no big deal | 00:48 |
| itaylor57 | I'm always the one who when asked "What time is it?" begins to describe how to build a watch | 00:48 |
| Pici | aplund: Likely because theres no libcurl4 in Debian | 00:48 |
| Photocopy | coz_ the one guy gave me music i think i'll actually like and he's the guy whos music is working | 00:48 |
| a_p3rson | Photocopy - I use the music i purchased from itunes on ubuntu without a problem with rhythmbox | 00:48 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, you need to have faad installed...maeuver to the external where they are located command would be fadd name.m4a hit enter and it should convert to wav | 00:48 |
| Photocopy | coz_ the other guy listens to weird stuff i dont think i'd be able to get into it anyway | 00:48 |
| ubuntu_ | Whats that code for ctrl+alt+f1 to restart gdm | 00:48 |
| Photocopy | every irc client on linux pisses me off =( | 00:49 |

| Photocopy | xchat i'm using right now | 00:49 |
| Photocopy | i hate it | 00:49 |
| a_p3rson | get pidgin | 00:50 |
| bstarek | Photocopy : why so | 00:50 |
| sjm | Photocopy, +1 for XChat | 00:50 |
| Photocopy | pidgin is fine but annoying because i use empathy for my im | 00:50 |
| a_p3rson | it integrates into the messaging menu | 00:50 |
| a_p3rson | and it is much stabler than empathy | 00:50 |
| a_p3rson | and works better | 00:50 |
| minimec | Photocopy: Don't be so hard. I love 'irssi'. It is a command line irc client... | 00:50 |
| a_p3rson | and has plugin capabilities | 00:50 |
| Photocopy | pidgin isn't working with my messaging menu, and it's not really running well | 00:50 |
| Photocopy | minimec; ive heard of that, not my style | 00:50 |
| a_p3rson | 10.04 or 10.10? | 00:50 |
| razorr1990 | sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 00:50 |

| Photocopy | 10.10 | 00:50 |
| a_p3rson | x86 or x64? | 00:51 |
| Photocopy | x86 | 00:51 |
| razorr1990 | ubuntu_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 00:51 |

| a_p3rson | hmm i have that | 00:51 |
| a_p3rson | and its fine... | 00:51 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, if you do ctrl+alt+F1 log in first try restart gdm if that doesnt work ,,,which it should... then use the /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 00:51 |
| Photocopy | bstarek; not much. wont be using unity, the rest all seems fine | 00:52 |
| ubuntu_ | coz_: how do i login fist then restart gdm lol? | 00:52 |
| razorr1990 | coz_:you are second :P | 00:52 |
| bstarek | Photocopy : i cant find the categories anymore...like game,system... | 00:52 |
| razorr1990 | ubuntu_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 00:52 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, no first ctrl+alt+F1 then log in | 00:52 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, you have to log in when you run ctrl+alt+F1 | 00:52 |
| Photocopy | bstarek; i've never used unity yet so i don't know, i just don't want to use it. its not minimal enough | 00:52 |
| ubuntu_ | coz_ do ctrl+alt+f1 then type log in? | 00:53 |
| coz_ | razorr1990, sorry if I repeated ,, wasnt paying attention | 00:53 |
| Photocopy | it's too much stuff on my desktop at once | 00:53 |
| bstarek | Photocopy : okk | 00:53 |
| razorr1990 | coz_: its ok :) | 00:53 |
| coz_ | ubuntu_, no ctrl+alt+F1 should take you to test console where the is a login promt | 00:53 |
| coz_ | prompt | 00:53 |
| avance0295 | how do you find the fourth dimension? | 00:53 |
| soreau | ubuntu_: Updating your repos is not the same as updating all of the packages | 00:53 |

| bstarek | I dont find the categories anymore | 00:53 |
| induz | what should be Nautilies settings? | 00:53 |
| ubuntu_ | wtf | 00:54 |
| soreau | ubuntu_: by default ubuntu uses the cdrom fro repos and not the live web ones assuming the live session doesn't have the internet | 00:54 |
| coz_ | bstarek, actually #ubuntu+1 is the 11.04 official channel before release | 00:54 |
| bstarek | alright ill go check it out thanks ;) | 00:54 |
| avance0295 | You suck? | 00:54 |
| Photocopy | bstarek; a global menu type thing is much better than a menu in each window, but i think the elementaryos approach is even better | 00:54 |
| coz_ | bstarek, if you mean the panel on the left you dont need to use Unity you can log out then log into the classic gonme desktop with or withouty effects | 00:54 |
| avance0295 | two camels in a tiny car?\ | 00:54 |
| soreau | ubuntu_: So you're supposed to just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment all repos then run apt-get update and install whatever package you need to | 00:54 |
| bstarek | coz_: how do i choose which menu i wanna use? | 00:55 |
| gp5st1 | hello. I'm having issues where i have an adobe air app running in xvfb and it isn't grabbing standard fonts (webdings, impact, verdana times new roman, &c).

| soreau | ubuntu_: But if you don't need to do apt-get upgrade in live session | 00:55 |

| Photocopy | coz_ & aeon-ltd; how? | 01:06 |
| ubuntu_ | avance nice post lol | 01:06 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, you would need to open nautilus with gksudo nautilus from terminal first and maneaver to the icons directory unless elementary icons are in /hoime /yourname/.themes | 01:06 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, you would have to replace all of the same icon in its various sizes as well | 01:07 |
| Photocopy | coz_ they're in usr/share/themes | 01:07 |
| ubuntu_ | avance0242: ill look into it | 01:07 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, then gksudo nautilus first | 01:07 |
| Photocopy | coz_; thats the gtk theme i can find, where are the icon set? | 01:08 |
| a_p3rson | ubuntu_: its a joke, nvidia and ati don't have cooperation on eachother | 01:08 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, did you look in /home/yourname/.themes folder? | 01:08 |
| Photocopy | yes | 01:08 |
| Photocopy | nothing in there | 01:08 |
| Photocopy | well nothing related to elementary | 01:08 |
| razorr1990 | nvidia has open source,ati doesnt... | 01:08 |
| coz_ | Photocopy, try /home/yourname/.icons | 01:08 |
| Photocopy | coz_; nevermind, appears to be usr/share/icons for icons | 01:08 |
| a_p3rson | razorr1990: not true, necessarily | 01:09 |
| ubuntu_ | soreau: okay same error came up when done installing: SystemError: installArchives() failed, but it does say its activated and not in use | 01:09 |
| ghostnik11 | hi, I wanted to know a good laptop brand to buy, does anyone have recommendations for a female who is an artist and writes alot, draws, into music and games | 01:09 |
| Logan_WP | !offtopic | ghostnik11 | 01:10 |
| ubottu | ghostnik11: #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! | 01:10 |
| coz_ | ghostnik11, mm I would go with asus or toshiba however you may also want to look into some of the tablet pcs with wacom grahics stylus | 01:10 |
| coz_ | ghostnik11, you want a good deal of memory and hard drive space as well with a decent graphics card | 01:10 |
| a_p3rson | ghostnik11: i would reccomend a higher-end one, as games and artistry require more ram and a higher processor, and music would need a larger hdd. artistry would need a good display/video card | 01:11 |
| coz_ | ghostnik11, toshiba has several tablet pc modesl as does motion computing | 01:11 |
| a_p3rson | ghostnik11: it really does reccomend on your price range | 01:11 |
| ghostnik11 | coz_: thanks for reply, is there a particular asus you have in mind i can check out | 01:11 |
| Skitty | Restarting worked. Thanks for the guidance. (: | 01:11 |
| coz_ | ghostnik11, no but as I said you want to have quite a bit of memory and cpu power,,, and see if asus has any table pcs as well ...as an artist a wacom stylus is absolutely n ecessary | 01:12 |

| BunnyFooFoo | thanks a_p3rson, a mime search found aprox what I need, just gotta rewrite the cmd | 01:40 |

| alejandro | is there a channel where i can get support for VirtualBox? or can i ask here? | 01:40 |
| hypatia | Jordan_U: if you use passwd it definietly doesn't change it | 01:40 |
| hypatia | i've run into this before, Jordan_U | 01:40 |
| michael138 | what is md5sum? | 01:41 |

| _pg_ | I have a machine that is 10.10 but has repos for lucid and karmic but not maverick-how should I proceed? | 01:41 |

| Jordan_U | hypatia: When changing the password using just "passwd", running as the user whose password is being changed, PAM should cause the password for the encrypted home directory to be changed to. This doesn't happen when you use passwd as root because you are never prompted for the user's password, which is required to make the change. | 01:47 |

| soreau | kylemm: You wouldn't be risking your computer. But anyway, it's your machine you can do what you want with it | 01:52 |
| rww | _pg_: For a start, one of them is a directory. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ exists so that programs and packages can add and remove software sources without having to muck around with appending to /etc/apt/sources.list. | 01:52 |
| Abinidi | Jon--: LOL, you may have to write your own drivers for it | 01:52 |
| Jon-- | Abinidi: No. | 01:52 |

| derpyderp | lolcat: nope | 02:41 |
| Gnea | eli_: why are you using wep? | 02:41 |
| g_0_0 | hidensoft, maybe it's another problem and not just with https sites | 02:41 |
| mickster04 | eli_: you should prbably plug in first, cable, set up, then connect using wpa2 | 02:42 |
| hidensoft | g_0_0: god damn this problem ! | 02:42 |
| mickster04 | eli_: most routers don't use any security as default | 02:42 |
| g_0_0 | hidensoft, can you ping the site? | 02:42 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | Ben_Kehoe: you could try using the aging tabs extension, that will play with the tab bar | 02:42 |
| eli_ | the details.....i had to install a driver, did that. now when i boot up i can select wireless networks...but whatever doesn't accept my wep key | 02:42 |
| hidensoft | g_0_0: im trying | 02:42 |
| eli_ | mine does | 02:42 |
| kylemm_ | Is any1 familiar with rdblacklist=nouveau | 02:43 |
| Gnea | eli_: yeah, wep is old and weak, anyone with a laptop can break it within 60 seconds, wpa2 is strong, you should be using that instead. | 02:43 |
| eli_ | did so with windows | 02:43 |
| Ben_Kehoe | a_p3rson[yellme]: wasn't firefox eventually going to move their tab bar above the address bar anyway? when is that coming? | 02:43 |
| eli_ | easier said than done gnea | 02:43 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | Ben_Kehoe: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/aging-tabs/ | 02:43 |
| Gnea | eli_: if you're going to use wep, you might as well not use any key at all | 02:43 |
| mickster04 | eli_: yeah, get a cable and just plug in | 02:43 |
| Ben_Kehoe | a_p3rson[yellme]: just installed it, waiting for restart | 02:43 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | and not exactly sure about when that will happen, although there's probably an extension for that... | 02:43 |
| Gnea | eli_: right, because it's so difficult to plug it in, point a web browser at it and configure it | 02:43 |
| Ben_Kehoe | a_p3rson[yellme]: Nothing, still has that dark background. it makes no sense. | 02:44 |
| Gnea | eli_: at any rate, are you using network manager or wicd? | 02:44 |
| eli_ | yeah...i have to have it pugged in whever i go | 02:44 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | Ben_Kehoe: you changed the aging tabs settings? | 02:44 |
| eli_ | guys your are teaching me a monkey to do calculus | 02:44 |
| hidensoft | g_0_0: ping: unknown host https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured :O | 02:44 |
| Ben_Kehoe | a_p3rson[yellme]: Er, no... haha hold on. I didnt know you wanted me to do something specific with it | 02:44 |
| eli_ | network manager gnea | 02:44 |
| Gnea | eli_: try installing wicd and use that instead | 02:45 |
| kylemm_ | Is any1 familiar with rdblacklist=nouveau, in the grub menu :D | 02:45 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | Ben_Kehoe: ya you need to probably change some the settings, and it will play with the tabs | 02:45 |
| Ben_Kehoe | a_p3rson[yellme]: none of those settings seem to be able to handle the background area.... hmm | 02:45 |
| Gnea | kylemm_: what about it? | 02:45 |
| kylemm_ | gnea: i need to put it at the end of ro quiet splash :D | 02:45 |
| g_0_0 | hidensoft, try adding these 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 to your domain name servers and see if that resolves your problem | 02:45 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | Ben_Kehoe: they dont seem to, but playing with the tabs will also play with the background | 02:45 |
| kylemm_ | Gnea: and i dont know how to | 02:46 |
| Gnea | kylemm_: heh, that's not how blacklisting works | 02:46 |
| kylemm_ | Gnea: when i press ETC it just says root= and there is nothing else | 02:46 |

| Gnea | kylemm_: sure you can | 02:47 |
| Gnea | alpha7: get dialup | 02:48 |
| Ben_Kehoe | a_p3rson[yellme]: It really doesn't change the background. I just changed a ton of the settings and colours and stuff and I'm not getting any results | 02:48 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | hmm | 02:48 |
| kylemm_ | so does it involve terminal | 02:48 |
| hidensoft | g_0_0: i do that but problem not solved :( | 02:48 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | well, do you have any kinds of programs that play with gtk+? | 02:48 |
| Gnea | kylemm_: well first of all, you need to open a web browser... then copy and paste the url from ubottu into the browser | 02:48 |

| kylemm_ | Gnea: i installed a iso to the usb, just like a CD | 03:08 |

| Gnea | kylemm_: oh, it'll save, just reboot and see what happens, k? | 03:08 |

| Logan_WP | !please | needlez | 03:10 |
| ubottu | needlez: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 03:10 |

| LinSteveH | steff12321: do "tar xvfz /a/* fil.tgz" as an example to save all in that subdir tofil.tgz. | 03:12 |
| ali__ | Gnea : no there is no sticker only windows 7 genuine sticker | 03:12 |
| Gnea | ali__: no, that's not good enough. there will be a set of numbers and letters. | 03:12 |
| ubuntu_ | do you know why network manager might not accept correct passwords? please no disrespect here or snobbery here from my part | 03:12 |
| ali__ | Gnea : ok let me check | 03:12 |

I believe that NFS is running properly on the NAS, 'cause I can do showmount -e NAS and it shows the four FS mounts on the server. I created a place to mount on my client, and it is looking right and with owner/group as root. However when I do ... | 03:14 |

| LinSteveH | steff12321: Did that fix your problem? | 03:20 |
| ali__ | Gnea : yes | 03:20 |
| ElderDryas | Gnea: having watched kylemm being helped with this problem for several days now, I think yeik's question maybe at the root of why nothing works | 03:20 |
| Logan_WP | ali__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10084379&postcount=6 | 03:20 |
| ali__ | Km0201 : yes | 03:20 |

| KM0201 | ali__: have you figured out your wireless device? | 03:20 |
| Logan_WP | ali__: that post shows instructions for how to install the wireless driver | 03:20 |
| ubuntu_ | how do i change a protocol from wep to wpa | 03:20 |
| Gnea | ElderDryas: I'm inclined to agree. | 03:21 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: you have to do that in your router. | 03:21 |
| yeik | kylemm: do you have access to another computer? with the iso for the distribution you want on your usb? | 03:21 |
| kylemm | yeik: i used usb downloader to download ALL the files on the USB. its 10.10 | 03:21 |

| KM0201 | ubuntu_: no... you do it through your router management page..... google your router model # | 03:21 |
| kylemm | yeik: i only have this 1 comp and a xbox | 03:21 |

| ali__ | Gnea : I cannot access via wireless | 03:22 |
| droidftw | in terminal it wont let me type in password | 03:22 |
| kylemm | yeik: yes | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | ali__: if you can boot ubuntu on the netbook, and tell us what the wireless device is, it'll probably be fairly easy to get working | 03:22 |
| droidftw | it only lets me push enter | 03:22 |
| Gnea | kylemm: but you can access via wired? | 03:22 |
| Gnea | er | 03:22 |
| ubuntu_ | i wont do that yet | 03:22 |

| Gnea | kylemm: wrong msg | 03:22 |
| juboba | so I can do get_attr("title") | 03:22 |
| uRock | droidftw, type your password, then hit enter, it will not show any characters while you type your password | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: ok.. what exactly is your problem | 03:22 |
| ali__ | Gnea : I don't have wired, only wireless and how can I boot and tell you my wireless device ? | 03:22 |
| Gnea | kylemm: and please listen to yeik, it seems like he's got a better idea of what your problem is :) | 03:22 |
| yeik | kylemm: good, the best tool i have seen for creating a live usb drive is at www.linuxliveusb.com, it is easy and straightforward. you could try that, make sure you set it to persistent | 03:23 |
| Logan_WP | juboba: what are you talking about? | 03:23 |
| Gnea | ali__: do you have a usb thumbdrive? | 03:23 |
| juboba | Logan_WP: damn, thought I was in ##php | 03:23 |
| Logan_WP | juboba: haha, no problem | 03:23 |
| yeik | Gnea: i have a lot of experience with usb drives. | 03:23 |
| ali__ | Gnea : you mean pendrive? | 03:23 |
| kylemm | yeik: so if its set to persistent then its actually INSTALLED like it would be on the hdd? | 03:23 |
| KM0201 | thumbdrive, pendrive, same thing. | 03:23 |
| Gnea | yeik: as do I, I'm also trying to solve a non-usb issue on my end here as well | 03:23 |
| Gnea | ali__: yes | 03:24 |
| yeik | kylemm: sort of. all of your changes will stay, and you can save files. it creates a container that is loaded when you boot up. | 03:24 |
| KM0201 | ubuntu_: what exactly are you trying to do? | 03:24 |
| yeik | Gnea: i understand. my upgrade broke :( | 03:24 |
| kylemm | yeik: but only on the usb right? | 03:24 |
| Gnea | !nvidia | 03:24 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:24 |
| ali__ | Gnea : yes I have it is where I installed ubuntu netbook remix on via this USB pendrive | 03:24 |
| yeik | kylemm: yes only on the usb | 03:24 |
| Gnea | yeik: I've got some massive dbus issues at the moment | 03:24 |
| kylemm | yeik: okay as long as nothing is saved in my HD | 03:24 |
| itaylor57 | is back | 03:24 |
| KM0201 | itaylor57: o/ | 03:25 |
| Gnea | ali__: okay, you ought to be able to insert the drive back in and create a folder on it | 03:25 |
| yeik | kylemm: nothing will be changed from linux, on your hard drive from that tool | 03:25 |
| kylemm | yeik: Gnea: let me get on windows and try it out | 03:25 |
| Gnea | ali__: (on the eeepc) | 03:25 |
| yeik | kylemm: excellent, you can pm me if you have any issues or questions with it. | 03:25 |
| ali__ | Gnea : ok and what should I put inside this folder? | 03:25 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: o/ | 03:25 |
| Gnea | ali__: you'll need to open a terminal and cd to the path of that folder | 03:26 |

| ali__ | Gnea : I typed the command nothing shows up | 03:28 |

| Gnea | ali__: good, then it worked. you just created a text file on the usb device that contains the output of the lspci command. | 03:28 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | droidftw: to get a graphical interface, replace "sudo" with "gksudo" and "su" with "gksu" | 03:28 |
| Gnea | ali__: now, take the usb drive and plug it into the pc you're typing on now. | 03:28 |
| yeik | ok, now im trying to see if i can get some updates to work, maybe hoping that will fix my issue, sudp apt-get upgrade gives me dpkg errors. how can i fix issues with dpkg? dpkg --reconfigure -a doesn't do anything | 03:28 |

| ElderDryas | yeik: the <kylemm> issue | 03:38 |
| Gnea | yeik: indeed. | 03:38 |
| trollgod2 | is there a default package for ubuntu-server .. like a package that has all the default packages for server? | 03:38 |
| trollgod2 | er 2x same thought :P | 03:38 |
| KM0201 | yeik: i always knew what page i as on... :).. while what gnea said worked, i thought it wa a long ass way to go about it, considering ali__ figured out his wireless device a few minutes ago | 03:39 |

| virtus | I have an issue installing lamp =/ | 03:39 |
| cdr | I hate losing all my open folders when I reboot. | 03:40 |
| yeik | cdr: i believe that is probably more of a feature in gnome, or your favorite x-manager. I know that xfce has an option to open your programs up when you reboot. | 03:40 |
| ElderDryas | yeik: your systems sound like me 15 years ago...now I'm down to one laptop and leave the multiple systems to my daughter | 03:40 |

| ali__ | Km0201 : thank you too i'm trying now to install it in offline mode | 03:42 |
| yeik | cdr: what gnome version? | 03:42 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | alin`: thats a vague question, if you are trying to run a windows program on linux, either look for a linux port or try a windows emulator. | 03:42 |
| ali__ | Gnea : not yet but still trying thank you anyway | 03:42 |
| Gnea | ali__: awesome | 03:42 |
| KM0201 | ali__: it's pretty easy... if you're on a live usb/cd... just follow the instructions to modprobe the driver, and it should work... i've had pretty good success w/ the STA and the 4313 | 03:42 |

| yeik | cdr: im not that great with gnome, but i found this http://blogs.sun.com/mattman/entry/gnome_2_24_session_save1 | 03:43 |

| ali__ | Km0201: how can i do that? cuz i'm blur now seriously | 03:44 |
| surial | Where should I be looking for documentation on properly starting my own services? | 03:44 |
| surial | i.e. apps I write myself. | 03:44 |
| alin` | a_p3rson[yellme]> why not? | 03:44 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | cdr: if you are using ubuntu, just select hibernate on the menu | 03:44 |
| KM0201 | ali__: are you following the instructions for "no internet access/STA driver"? | 03:44 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | alin`: visual studio i don't think will work on linux, but im not sure... | 03:44 |
| yeik | ali__: it actually sounds like you installed onto the hard drive from the usb, because netbooks don't have cd drives. do you require the usb to boot/is that how you boot? | 03:44 |
| grendal_prime | visual studio blow | 03:44 |
| grendal_prime | s | 03:44 |

| cdr | a_p: this is a dual boot machine, I doubt hibernate works | 03:45 |
| grendal_prime | look at gambus | 03:45 |
| KM0201 | ali__: are you on a live USB, or did you actually install ubuntu on this netbook | 03:45 |
| alin` | a_p3rson[yellme]> I know it is not working in linux VS, but why not work sa source code?? | 03:45 |
| grendal_prime | visual | 03:45 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | alin`: again, im not sure, im not a visual studio guy | 03:46 |
| alin` | yeik> I don't want VS in linux, I want only the source code | 03:46 |
| kylemm | Okay im done | 03:46 |
| yeik | alin`: most code in visual studio (any type) usually uses windows libraries, as that is what the target os usually is. i would contact the person that has the source code and ask them if they can help you | 03:46 |
| alin` | a_p3rson[yellme]> :)K I keep looking | 03:47 |
| kylemm | yeik: im done :D | 03:47 |
| yeik | kylemm: wb, how did that go? | 03:47 |
| kylemm | yeik: it is now 710MB persistant | 03:47 |
| yeik | kylemm: are you booted to that now? | 03:47 |
| kylemm | yeik: ya | 03:47 |
| alin` | yeik> in C++ are not the same libs?? | 03:48 |
| yeik | kylemm: ok, so now you should be able to make any changes, add a file to the desktop, and reboot. | 03:48 |
| kylemm | where did that guy go lol | 03:48 |
| kylemm | yeik: thanks | 03:48 |
| yeik | alin`: No, there is a lot of different libs, some even implement things like boost, there are differences for things like time() threads() etc, as the underlying os is different. | 03:48 |
| ali__ | Km0201: no i'm on my desktop ubuntu it has no problem the problem is in my netbook ubuntu | 03:48 |
| ali__ | I am following the instructions now but I feel i'm confused | 03:49 |
| KM0201 | ali__: where are you confused? | 03:49 |
| alin` | yeik> :( | 03:49 |
| yeik | alin`: There is lots of source code that can be compiled in both linux and windows, but usually for any decent sized project it has to be configured | 03:49 |
| kylemm | Can somebody help me blacklist nouveau | 03:49 |
| ali__ | I seem i cannot install it | 03:49 |
| alin` | the it is any program to convert from C++ in Java?? | 03:49 |
| ali__ | by offline mode | 03:49 |
| yeik | kylemm: you're welcome. | 03:49 |
| ElderDryas | kylemm: now you should NOT have to jump thru all the hoops of the past few days, adding the recommened NVIDIA driver should work | 03:50 |
| kylemm | ElderDryas: really? | 03:50 |
| alin` | yeik> I try a very small one...it is dosen't work to compile in linux | 03:50 |
| ElderDryas | yes...we did not realize that you were using the .iso :( | 03:50 |
| ElderDryas | kylemm: yes...we did not realize that you were using the .iso :( | 03:50 |
| * ElderDryas getting tired | 03:50 | |
| kylemm | i was told i need to blacklist nouveau | 03:51 |
| yeik | alin': if it was set up for visual studio it might not. but if you have a small .c file that just is main(){prinft("hello world");} then it will compile no matter what. | 03:51 |
| * a_p3rson[yellme] realised this is there... | 03:51 | |
| cdr | yeik: thanks, that at least got me the right keywords to search | 03:51 |
| yeik | alin`: you should contact maintainers of the code, and ask them for help, or go to a C++/C room and ask for help compiling the code. | 03:52 |
| safire_ | what's ubuntu's wgetpaste alternative? | 03:52 |

| yeik | cdr: you're welcome. hopefully you can find it. | 03:52 |
| Vampist | Hey I was having a quick chat with one of my college profs. Hey suggested sudo -s instead of sudo su. Can anyone tell me the differences between the two? | 03:52 |
| gp5st2 | i installed the mscore fontss package, but this air app can't seem to see webdings. this is a headless box with a minimal X install. what can i do to see if it's installed? or how could install just webdings if i had the ttf? | 03:52 |
| yeik | alin': yes, but visual studio creates packages and adds includes automatically, to make things easier for developers. without knowing the source code i am more inclined to say it wont work | 03:53 |
| yeik | alin`: even if it all works in linux, you have to manually compile it, using gcc, and link each file and library that is needed. | 03:53 |
| === kthomas is now known as onekenthomas | ||
| Vampist | Does anyone know the difference between Sudo su and Sudo -s off hand? | 03:54 |
| alin` | yeik> I compare two source code, one of windows and one of linux, are the same, but still don't work | 03:54 |
| gp5st2 | Vampist: sudo - tuns everything from stdin sudo su gives you a shell, if i recall | 03:55 |
| yeik | Vampist: sudo su actually does su as root, su changes the user thats logged in. i don't know what sudo -s does. | 03:55 |
| hanasaki | D-Link DGE-530T which driver does this need and does it come with ubuntu? | 03:56 |
| Vampist | Sudo -s is basically as if you called sudo before every command after that until "exit". (logs you in as root) | 03:56 |
| yeik | alin`: do you have a link or can you paste something that i can look at to have an idea of what you are working with? | 03:56 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | Vampist: sudo -s appears to have to do with the input of the password | 03:56 |
| vox | how in the hell do you successfully enter single-user-mode in 10.10? i'm trying to unmount / but the stupid recovery console is screwing it up | 03:56 |
| Vampist | I have always done sudo su. But he suggested sudo -s | 03:56 |
| gp5st2 | Vampist: sorry, i missed the -s and just aread a - | 03:56 |
| yeik | Vampist: then i would say sudo -s would probably also time out and ask for a password later, but sudo su will always be as root, so if you leave or someone else tries to mess with it, then they will not be able to. | 03:57 |
| alin` | yeik> ok for an example a simplest program who make makefile from sln | 03:57 |
| alin` | yeik> http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cross-platform/sln2mak.aspx | 03:58 |
| yeik | alin`: sln is a solution file for visual studio, im not away of any tools to compile sln in linux | 03:58 |

| VxQe | em: tried restarting nautilus? | 03:59 |
| VxQe | just nautilus -q in terminal. | 03:59 |
| yeik | alin`: i know what sln is, it is called a "solution" file, it gives visual studio its structures, includes, files, etc, with that link you sent, it might be possible to convert the sln to a makefile. But i don't think the actual source code will compile. | 03:59 |

| Gnea | Okay, making a wee bit of headway with my problem.... basically I'm trying to get dbus to work on Ubuntu Server 10.04 amd64 (can't use Ubuntu Desktop because same thing happens and can't even get to the prompt to fix it during install phase) and during the pre-script, it attempts to run "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" and by default, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id comes up empty, so it fails. if I issue a "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id" and then issue a "service | 04:00 |
| Gnea | did I just get cut off? | 04:00 |
| VxQe | em: It's happened to me before when I installed orta | 04:00 |
| alin` | yeik> uoff, sln have #include "stdafx" | 04:00 |
| VxQe | but it only happened once after I rebooted and never came back. :/ | 04:00 |
| Vampist | yeik, yeah it makes sense. Thanks. | 04:00 |
| em | yeah i rebooted too | 04:00 |
| qebab | Gnea: you cut off at "service | 04:01 |
| em | but nautilus -q fixed it | 04:01 |
| Gnea | if I issue a "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id" and then issue a "service dbus start", it finds it and tries to start, but snowballs into a fully-locked kernel panic. What should I try next? | 04:01 |
| uRock | Forgot to mention that I love my Ubuntu! | 04:01 |
| Gnea | qebab: that one? | 04:01 |

| uRock | jon_athon it throttles | 04:03 |
| Gnea | jon_athon: the system is designed to throttle the cpu down when it's not being used for anything intensive | 04:03 |
| VxQe | Will still downclock cpu if it's not being used. | 04:03 |
| VxQe | Don't worry about it. | 04:03 |

| bastidrazor | jon_athon: cpufrequtils will allow more flexibility in controling it. | 04:03 |
| alin` | yeik> ok, I would try to compile without that library | 04:03 |

| bastidrazor | jon_athon: cpufreq-info cpufreq-set are the two commands you may want.. | 04:03 |
| uRock | jon_athon check it again while ripping two DVDs at the same time while playing a game on Facebook | 04:04 |

| Gnea | vox: it will boot up and suddenly everything will go blank - when it's blank, you have a shell prompt and / is read-only | 04:13 |
| soreau | kylemm: Good, now did you blacklist nouveau? | 04:13 |
| DpinkyandDbrain | its not in my possession yet | 04:13 |
| Gnea | DpinkyandDbrain: as long as it's not an ATI, it will work | 04:13 |
| zirconiumks | i tried installing the multitouch drivers on my hpdv6t but they are no good, so i need to revert back to the original ones, but i cant find how | 04:13 |
| vox | Gnea: win and awesome | 04:13 |
| Gnea | DpinkyandDbrain: if it's an ATI, the Nvidia will have a better output. | 04:13 |
| Dan__ | Hell i have a good ? I am on the net using my laptop and i would like to hook up a eithernet cable from laptop to another pc! What i am tring to accomplish is to leach the internet from lap top to the other pc using eithernet cable | 04:13 |
| Gnea | vox: cheers | 04:14 |
| vox | Gnea: mount says / is mount rw | 04:14 |
| Dan__ | is it possible? | 04:14 |
| kylemm | soreau: not yet i might not have to | 04:14 |
| kylemm | soreau: lemme restart comp and find out | 04:14 |
| Gnea | vox: heh, try to touch a non-existant file in / | 04:14 |
| Gnea | vox: you're reading stale data from when / was mounted rw | 04:14 |
| vox | Gnea: touche` :) | 04:14 |

| marekweb | hi, I just ran the startup disk creator on a usb drive, and it's been creating the persistence file for a longwhile now, it's stuck at 100% with only a cancel button, should I keep waiting? | 04:15 |
| yeik | soreau: kylemm got set up with a persistent live usb drive now. | 04:15 |
| DpinkyandDbrain | which is the nvidia and the other is much much higher | 04:15 |
| Blue1 | !python | 04:15 |
| ubottu | python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python | 04:15 |
| soreau | yeik: Ah ok, I don't know how that works | 04:15 |
| needlez | can someone help me solve this problem with wpa_supplicant?? http://pastie.org/1565053 | 04:15 |
| soreau | needlez: Run it with sudo | 04:16 |
| yeik | soreau: it is like a nromal live cd, but also creates a container that loads your user data on boot. its really neat, and there is an easy tool in windows to create one. | 04:16 |
| soreau | yeik: Awesome but can you tell it to become persistent through the live session itself? | 04:16 |
| yeik | so i am having issues with xorg, and now with upgrading packages, i am getting dpkg errors, | 04:16 |
| Gnea | Okay, making a wee bit of headway with my problem.... basically I'm trying to get dbus to work on Ubuntu Server 10.04 amd64 (can't use Ubuntu Desktop because same thing happens and can't even get to the prompt to fix it during install phase) and during the pre-script, it attempts to run "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" and by default, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id comes up empty, so it fails. | 04:16 |
| needlez | soreau: thats point less im already root | 04:16 |
| yowshi | grrr usb-devices sees my blackberry but i cant figure out how to get it to mount | 04:17 |
| yeik | soreau: i am not sure, you probably could if you knew what you were doing, and the usb drive isn't just booting the .iso | 04:17 |
| soreau | needlez: Try it as your normal user with sudo | 04:17 |
| needlez | soreau: I have I get similar error, except I get permission denied for the device | 04:17 |
| yowshi | anyone got any experience getting the BB curve to mount in ubuntu? | 04:17 |
| Gnea | if I issue a "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id" and then issue a "service dbus start", it finds it and tries to start, but snowballs into a fully-locked kernel panic. What should I try next? Panic info: http://i.imgur.com/oLmO6.jpg | 04:17 |
| soreau | yeik: I was meaning more of a 1 to 3 click solution for newbs ;) | 04:18 |
| yeik | soreau: yeah, in the usb drive itself no. but it would be a good thing to work on. Although this tool for windows is nice, it can put a portable copy of virtualbox on the usb drive and in most operating systems boot the usb in a virtual machine. | 04:19 |
| soreau | yeik: cool stuff | 04:19 |
| zirconiumks | can anyone point to working multitouch drivers to hp dv6t ? | 04:20 |
| yeik | I have a problem logging in, every time i try and login (the gui pops up and i can click login, change session type) it appears to crash the xorg system, i see the black screen with text from session that you see when you go to alt f7, i had the last LTS and i decided to upgrade to the newest update, ran the update to new release from update manager, and there were some times when it said failed | 04:20 |
| trollboy | so what's a good wireless dongle that works out of the box w/ ubuntu? | 04:20 |
| trollboy | I've got 2 here that suck :-/ | 04:20 |
| yeik | and said i should run dpkg --configure -a and i did. but my main issue is that no matter what session i choose xorg seems to crash then restart itself when i try and login to the x-session | 04:20 |
| kisuke | any one able to help me with some x11 forwarding? | 04:20 |
| yeik | soreau: yeah, its almost as cool as my master usb drive. can do everything with it. | 04:21 |
| g_0_0 | kisuke, what are you trying to do? | 04:21 |
| Gnea | yeik: have you tried: sudo apt-get -f install ? | 04:21 |
| needlez | soreau: this is what I get with running as regular user with sudo, http://pastie.org/1565229 | 04:21 |
| kisuke | g_0_0: tring to run update-manager on a somewhat headless mavhine | 04:22 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan! | 04:22 |
| ChogyDan | Gnea: hi! | 04:22 |
| yeik | Gnea: sake dpkg errors, says dpkg: error processing binutils-mltiarch, dpkt-divert ... clashes with diversions of /usr/bin... | 04:22 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan: dude, I moved like, 1/8 of an inch lol | 04:22 |
| Gnea | yeik: ^.o | 04:22 |
| needlez | so anyone got any ideas?? | 04:22 |
| ChogyDan | :( | 04:22 |
| Gnea | yeik: okay, do you get the same errors from sudo dpkg --configure -a ? | 04:22 |
| yeik | Gnea: i am not familiar with that one. | 04:23 |
| [Kai]Prototype | Anyone know if there is any repo with gtk3 in it? | 04:23 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan: I will repost..... | 04:23 |
| soreau | needlez: You need to make sure the card you're trying to connect with supports the specific encryption type you're using on the AP | 04:23 |
| ChogyDan | Gnea: well I remember you had kernel issues | 04:23 |
| Gnea | yeik: try it, see if it fixes anything | 04:23 |
| yeik | Gnea: i ran it, said it ran find, now it does nothing when i type that | 04:23 |
| Slayer | ansmission | 04:23 |
| kylemm | YO | 04:23 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan: well, I did get that latest ppa kernel installed, but having the same problem | 04:23 |
| Slayer | how to upload files through transmission | 04:23 |
| g_0_0 | kisuke, type in terminal - ssh -X username@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - then - type - update-manager & | 04:23 |
| needlez | soreau: how would I check that?? and it connects fine normally, I just wanna use wpa_supplicant so I don't have to keep re entering the password | 04:24 |
| yeik | Gnea: i was running a distribution upgrade... knew i have should avoided doing it when i wasn't here to monitor it the whole time. | 04:24 |
| Gnea | yeik: ouch... | 04:24 |
| yeik | g_0_0: if you close the x session will that stop the updates and cause issues? | 04:24 |
| yeik | Gnea: yeah. | 04:24 |
| soreau | needlez: Ah, in that case you need to kill NetworkManager | 04:24 |
| Gnea | yeik: I'm really not sure :( guess I'd start backing stuff up and just install 10.10 from the get-go | 04:24 |
| JDuke128 | hi | 04:25 |
| soreau | needlez: or service network-manager stop | 04:25 |
| g_0_0 | yeik, not sure why he wants to do it but he doesn't need to close it | 04:25 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan: ok here we go... | 04:25 |
| Gnea | basically I'm trying to get dbus to work on Ubuntu Server 10.04 amd64 (can't use Ubuntu Desktop because same thing happens and can't even get to the prompt to fix it during install phase) and during the pre-script, it attempts to run "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" and by default, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id comes up empty, so it fails. | 04:25 |

| yeik | Gnea: could do that. except i would use xubuntu, and probably want to do a few things first. luckily this isn't the one with my web server. | 04:25 |
| g_0_0 | kisuke, ah you're using putty | 04:25 |
| Gnea | yeik: heh, I was going to say, if it was a production server I don't think you'd be helping others out in the meantime lol | 04:26 |
| kisuke | g_0_0: i had x11 forwarding working the other day | 04:26 |
| yeik | Gnea: if it was a production server, i wouldn't have updated from lts to 10.10 | 04:26 |
| yeik | or 10.04 | 04:26 |
| Gnea | yeik: indeed | 04:26 |
| g_0_0 | kisuke, you would be better just connecting with ssh | 04:27 |
| yeik | Gnea: i wonder if i can start a remote x session. | 04:27 |
| kisuke | g_0_0: how do you prepose i do that? | 04:27 |
| Gnea | yeik: not sure how that would help the situation.... could compound the problems | 04:27 |
| g_0_0 | kisuke, then in the terminal - type - sudo apt-get update - then sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:27 |
| ChogyDan | Gnea: I really don't know. I would try a clean 10.10, and then maybe go straight to natty and post a bug report. You should get better help on launchpad | 04:27 |
| yeik | Gnea: i was thinking maybe if it works i know its not necessarily an issue with gnome-session? | 04:28 |
| === zz_q_a_z_steve is now known as q_a_z_steve | ||
| g_0_0 | kisuke, use putty enter hostname/ip address | 04:28 |
| kylemm | yeik: u know how to run ccsm? | 04:28 |

| g_0_0 | kisuke, sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:30 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan: if I can get the system to behave, then I will try burning 10.10 and give that a go soon | 04:30 |
| alex__ | whenever i boot up, it shows the microsoft boot loader and then grub | 04:30 |
| alex__ | is there any way to disable the microsoft boot loader? | 04:30 |
| yeik | Gnea: very interestingly the x session opened right up | 04:31 |
| Jordan_U | alex__: I assume you installed Ubuntu within Windows? | 04:31 |
| kisuke | g_0_0: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/567205/ so we dont keep on playing "try x" "alrady done it" heres my current session | 04:31 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 604854 in dbus (Ubuntu) "dbus is not started by upstart when the machine-id file is empty" [Undecided,New] | 04:31 |
| Gnea | yeik: interesting | 04:31 |
| alex__ | Jordan_U: yes | 04:31 |
| soreau | needlez: Not real sure then.. make sure no other instances of wpa_supplicant are running and kill avahi-daemon and dhclient if they're running too | 04:31 |
| kylemm | Gnea: yeik: soreau: got effects working! :D | 04:32 |
| uRock | !troll > kylemm | 04:32 |
| alex__ | Jordan_U: if i reinstall ubuntu using livecd will the microsoft boot loader go away? | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | alex__: This might not be the most convienient answer, but I recommend removing the Wubi install and installing Ubuntu normally, by booting from a LiveCD/USB. | 04:32 |
| g_0_0 | kisuke you can do - sudo apt-get dist-upgrade - where is this machine have you physical access to it? it's not the other end of the planet is it? | 04:32 |
| Gnea | kylemm: awesome | 04:32 |
| Gnea | uRock: dude, why did you do that? | 04:32 |

| kf7nnz | bastidrazor: there is no PATH setting in .bashrc currently. I'm assuming it is set somewhere else first? | 04:39 |

| yeik | any idea on how to attempt that? | 04:39 |
| needlez | soreau: still doesn't work, even with killing avahi-daemon, wpa_supplicant, & network-manager... says something about ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Operation not permitted | 04:39 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | kreppnar: is it in a format that ubuntu cant read? | 04:39 |
| bastidrazor | kf7nnz: .profile there is a preset for ~/bin if ~/bin exists. | 04:40 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | or is it set as encrypted from windows, like in U3? | 04:40 |
| kreppnar | it was originally formated with ubuntu, and then files were copied to it from ubuntu | 04:40 |
| kreppnar | so no | 04:40 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | ok | 04:40 |
| droidftw | ubottu is amaing | 04:40 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | you may not have permission, try in terminal gksu nautilus | 04:40 |
| droidftw | its incredible what it does | 04:40 |
| kf7nnz | bastidrazor: I see! So if I rename my "scripts" folder to "bin" then it will be in the PATH, correct? | 04:41 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | kreppnar: if it turns out that the device doesn't give you permission, you can use gksu nautilus to go in as root and reset the permissions | 04:41 |
| bastidrazor | kf7nnz: yes, you will need to source ~/.profile or start a new terminal session. | 04:41 |
| kreppnar | now if i right click on the drive in the file manager.. i dont have the option to format | 04:41 |
| kf7nnz | bastidrazor: Will it also be in the PATH for the graphical environemnt? | 04:42 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | kreppnar: in terminal: gksu nautilus | 04:42 |
| bastidrazor | kf7nnz: or, you can change that line in .profile to 'scripts' instead of 'bin' | 04:42 |
| kreppnar | yeah i did that | 04:42 |
| kreppnar | tried to remove the files | 04:42 |
| kreppnar | but no luck | 04:42 |
| kreppnar | and this is with more than one thumb drive | 04:42 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | ooh more than one? | 04:42 |
| kreppnar | always mounting as read-only | 04:42 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | now THATs a problem... | 04:42 |

| Gnea | ChogyDan: well, I've got a mostly working system now if I issue a dbus-daemon --system --fork on its own | 04:43 |
| a_p3rson[yellme] | sounds like a problem with usb from ubuntu | 04:43 |
| ChogyDan | Gnea: what about /var/lib/dbus/machine-id? | 04:43 |
| Gnea | KGBWolf: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 04:43 |
| kreppnar | possibly i should try another usb port | 04:43 |
| === a_p3rson[yellme] is now known as a_p3rson | ||
| Gnea | ChogyDan: by-passed it with that command | 04:43 |
| ChogyDan | Gnea: are you populating it? I think it needs a value | 04:44 |
| a_p3rson | kreppnar: yes, and also make sure that the drives are readable from windows | 04:44 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan: no, if I do that the system will panic | 04:44 |
| bastidrazor | kf7nnz: you mean a clickable icon? | 04:44 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan: it's a hack | 04:44 |
| ChogyDan | Gnea: and dbus-uuis --ensure makes it blank? | 04:44 |
| a_p3rson | kreppnar: otherwise, im out... | 04:44 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan: yes. | 04:44 |
| kreppnar | hmm let me start up virtual box and format it | 04:44 |
| kreppnar | yeah switched usb ports and still no luck | 04:44 |
| kreppnar | odd | 04:44 |
| kreppnar | thanks for the help though | 04:44 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan: I threw in some debugging statements before and after the command is run, it runs the first one, never makes it to the second | 04:45 |
| ChogyDan | Gnea: does a plain dbus-uuidgen say anything? | 04:45 |
| kf7nnz | bastidrazor: I want to associate the script I've created with a keystroke. If it is in the PATH, then I don't have to give a fully qualified name, right? | 04:45 |
| Gnea | ChogyDan: yeah, it generates a random machine id | 04:45 |

| ChogyDan | Gnea: I think you can edit the dbus.conf file to not run --ensure if you think that is the problem. How exactly do you populate /var/lib/dbus/machine-id? | 04:50 |
| bastidrazor | kf7nnz: no need to restart. what did you add/remove in .profile? | 04:50 |
| Gnea | I should make a small movie and upload it | 04:50 |

| Gnea | ChogyDan: that's apparently worked for others, but after I do that, somewhere along the way something causes the panic, I'm not sure what at this point and I really don't have the time to bother trying to fix it just now | 04:51 |

| ShaNayNay | Abinidi, you can set your Software Sources to never offer an upgrade | 05:30 |
| Abinidi | ShaNayNay: I don't think I need to do that. But I sure didin't want update manager doing an update that was going to crash me for some reason or another. | 05:32 |

| MACscr | how do i know if im using pulseaudio and its configured correctly? my microphone sucks in most apps, | 06:01 |
| sam9089 | whats ur question | 06:01 |

| dohkogt | sam9089: i want to become Ubuntu Member, how I do this, you know? | 06:02 |
| sacarlson | Akjj: if it was I would think the dir would look like 1777 or s777 | 06:02 |

| ShaNayNay | have you started a thread on UF? | 06:04 |
| sacarlson | Akjj: so is that what you see then 1775? then the sticky bit is set? | 06:04 |
| ShaNayNay | there are a few nerds there that may be able to help | 06:05 |
| Akjj | sacarlson: The last few things I said to you were just information unrelated to my problem but related to sticky bits. No, the sticky bit is not set on mine. Yes I am pretty sure | 06:05 |
| AndrewX192 | Anyone know why a bad sector would not be able to be re-mapped? (Is this possibly a disk issue in itself - eg firmware fail?) | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | AndrewX192: Because there are no more extra good sectors left. | 06:06 |
| Jordan_U | AndrewX192: Consider the drive to be on its last legs, back up now. | 06:06 |
| ShaNayNay | time for a new HDD before all the data gets lost | 06:06 |
| AndrewX192 | Jordan_U: there are plenty of good sectors though | 06:06 |
| Gnea | AndrewX192: you should still backup. | 06:07 |
| AndrewX192 | I have 2X Segate ENTERPRISE grade drives on delivery right now, I'm just wondering what's up | 06:07 |
| Jordan_U | AndrewX192: Drives internally keep extra sectors which are not normally used, to be used when a sector dies for some reason. | 06:07 |

| optimus | gnea: need some help my radeon card is messed up. I cant even add line radeon.modeset=1 in my grub file kicks out error unknow command and i dont think acceleration is enabled. | 06:08 |
| AndrewX192 | Jordan_U: I'm seeing about 150 bad sectors on the disk in question via `badblocks`, but SMART only reports 6 sectors that are pending remapping. | 06:08 |
| Jordan_U | AndrewX192: You don't just reduce the capacity of the drive by one sector. Once the drive runs out of extra sectors you're out of luck. | 06:09 |
| optimus | there might even be more then one graphics driver installed all i need is radeon but i have intel glx and all sorts of other awesomeness mixed in my koolaid | 06:10 |
| AndrewX192 | Jordan_U: how are "extra sectors" defined? | 06:10 |
| ghm33 | hi how do i add more of those wallpapers that change automatically | 06:10 |
| Jordan_U | AndrewX192: Internally. Within the drive and not exposed directly when accessing the drive normally. | 06:10 |
| Gnea | optimus: how are you trying to add it to grub? | 06:11 |
| AndrewX192 | Jordan_U: uhoh. I guess that's why, I guess I can partiion around the bad blocks | 06:11 |
| optimus | gnea: well under grub commands where it says 'quiet-splash' radeon.modeset=1 then i do sudo update-grub and i get error unknown command radeon.modeset= | 06:12 |
| Jordan_U | AndrewX192: You can, rather you use e2fsck -c, but once the drive is at this point you can expect data loss as more sectors go bad, and eventually the drive simply fails completely. | 06:12 |
| Gnea | optimus: so you're adding it to /etc/default/grub ? | 06:13 |
| optimus | basically nano to /etc/default/grub then | 06:13 |
| Gnea | okay | 06:13 |
| optimus | gnea: beat me too it | 06:13 |

| ghm33 | thanks ShaNayNay i find it odd that there are already existing default wallpapers and we cant either make our own or find more to add | 06:14 |

| ^Phantom^ | firefox needs to die | 06:29 |
| TheMusicGuy | Does anyone here have any experience running Ubuntu inside of VirtualBox from a WIndows 7 host? In particular, relating to problems with hardware-accelerated graphics? | 06:29 |
| juk | ^Phantom^: just pkill it | 06:30 |
| Akjj | TheMusicGuy: Yeah,. What are you trying to do? | 06:30 |
| ardchoille | I'm on Ubuntu 10.10, just accidentally pressed Super+A and it zoomed out to show all windows. Where can I find more commands like that? | 06:30 |
| running_rabbit07 | TheMusicGuy, are you trying to run Unity? | 06:31 |

| Tanvir | Hello, how can I edit .db file in Ubuntu? | 06:31 |
| Akjj | Tanvir: Many apps produce .db files. What produced it? | 06:32 |
| TheMusicGuy | Akjj, I'm trying to mix a dual-boot configuration with a virtualization configuration. | 06:32 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, I don't know. :S | 06:32 |
| juk | TheMusicGuy: hm | 06:32 |
| g_0_0 | TheMusicGuy, have you installed the guest extensions? | 06:32 |
| Akjj | Do you know anything else about the file other than the extension? | 06:32 |
| TheMusicGuy | Akjj, I want Ubuntu to use the ATI drivers when its running on physical hardware but Vbox drivers when its in Vbox. | 06:32 |
| TheMusicGuy | g_0_0, yes | 06:33 |
| running_rabbit07 | TheMusicGuy, are you trying to run Unity? | 06:33 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, no, can you tell me, how can I find out those? | 06:33 |
| TheMusicGuy | running_rabbit07, I don't know what that is | 06:33 |
| running_rabbit07 | ok, just checking | 06:33 |
| Akjj | TheMusicGuy: You can't really do anything to stop it from using Vbox drivers in the vbos | 06:33 |
| Akjj | vbox | 06:33 |
| Taffy | ardchoille thx i tried that didn't know can press windows + a and get all windows thx | 06:33 |
| mneptok | TheMusicGuy: Vbox does not provide access to your hardware to a guest OS. instead, it presents a custom video interface for guest OSes. you cannot just install the driver for your video hardware in a VBox guest. | 06:33 |
| Akjj | Tanvir: Well, what's the use of a random file if you don't know where it came from or what's in it? | 06:33 |
| Akjj | I'm a little confused about that | 06:33 |
| ardchoille | Taffy: try also super+w, super+e | 06:34 |
| g_0_0 | TheMusicGuy, and did you set hardware acceleration in VirtualBox itself for the ubuntu machine? | 06:34 |
| ardchoille | Taffy: I'd love to learn more but don't know where anymore are | 06:34 |
| Taffy | nice | 06:34 |
| Taffy | tried it thx alot | 06:34 |
| TheMusicGuy | g_0_0, yes | 06:34 |
| lk | compiz fusion | 06:34 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, I know what's in it. It's a bot's database. | 06:34 |
| TheMusicGuy | The problem is that it seems like the ATI drivers are conflicting with the Vbox drivers | 06:34 |
| Akjj | Ah, it might be mysql or similar | 06:34 |
| Taffy | ardchoille learn something new everyday :) | 06:35 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, probably. | 06:35 |
| Akjj | If you cat it or open it in a text editor does it make human readable sense? If so can you paste the first short chunk or something? | 06:35 |
| ardchoille | Taffy: indeed. these seem to be part of compiz | 06:35 |
| TheMusicGuy | the Vbox hardware accelleration only seems to work if the ATI drivers are not installed. | 06:35 |
| lk | ati is not open source | 06:35 |
| mneptok | Akjj: unlikely. more like Berkeley DB or somesuch. | 06:35 |
| juk | lk: non are | 06:35 |
| Akjj | mneptok: *shrug. My .db files are usually dumps of mysql dbs. Depends on circumstances somewhat. | 06:36 |
| === running_rabbit07 is now known as SkyVodka | ||
| Akjj | All the same, Tanvir, checking the first bit might show a human readable header with more info about the file | 06:36 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, it doesn't open with gedit. | 06:36 |
| SkyVodka | Akjj did you find the fix to your permissions issue yet? | 06:36 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, but I tried worked cat, it worked.. but nothing useful I think.. | 06:37 |
| ardchoille | you can run a .db file through the strings command to possibly get the strings inside the .db: strings file.db | 06:37 |
| Akjj | SkyVodka: Yes. I needed to do a new ssh session to actually become a member of the group. Log out log in >.< | 06:37 |
| SkyVodka | Dooh! | 06:37 |
| SkyVodka | glad it turned out to be easy | 06:37 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, The texts are all cluttered. :S | 06:37 |
| Akjj | Tanvir: Yeah, strings file.db . Good idea ardchoille | 06:37 |
| Akjj | * strings file.db | less | 06:37 |
| mneptok | Akjj: dumps, yes. active databases, no. MySQL does not use the .db file extension | 06:38 |
| Akjj | mneptok: Sure it does. When you're a dbAdmin extensions don't matter crap. You name files in the way that makes sense to you | 06:38 |
| ardchoille | mneptok: ah, thank you for that | 06:38 |
| A_User | hi, following the instructions on ubuntu.org, i applied the grub-install on a pc, first i used /usr/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda1 | 06:39 |
| === Adrian_CNCERT is now known as Adrian | ||
| Tanvir | Akjj, you want me type "* strings filename.db | less " ? | 06:39 |
| ^Phantom^ | Other than firefox crashing up the system when large images are opened within it, I absolutely love ubuntu. | 06:39 |
| === Adrian is now known as Guest40293 | ||
| TheMusicGuy | I figure I can put a script into rc.local that uses imvirt to detect whether the system is running in virtualbox or on physical hardware, then create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf that uses whichever drivers are needed to get hardware accelleration for the current system type (Physical or VirtualBox) | 06:40 |
| Akjj | Tanvir: No. Try typing "strings filename.db | less" (no star) and see if there's anything useful in the output. | 06:40 |
| A_User | but then i discovered that this was the wrong drive so i did /usr/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda, this worked; BUT... now when i boot my pc the drive corresponding to sda1 i.e. c drive in windows is not available !!!! | 06:40 |
| A_User | how can i undo it | 06:40 |
| TheMusicGuy | Problem is I dont know how to make an xorg.conf that uses the vbox drivers, and they don't seem to work automatically when ATI drivers are installed | 06:40 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, yes, I got a list. | 06:40 |
| Akjj | A_User: You can boot into windows? | 06:40 |
| SkyVodka | ^Phantom^, are you short on RAM? | 06:40 |
| Akjj | If you can boot the C: drive should be there | 06:40 |
| Akjj | *can boot into windows | 06:41 |
| ^Phantom^ | SkyVodka, no | 06:41 |
| ^Phantom^ | I have 1.5GB | 06:41 |
| Akjj | Tanvir: Anything that might hint at the program that made it or such? | 06:41 |
| ^Phantom^ | 2GHz pc, too | 06:41 |
| Akjj | If you wanted to pastebin it I could look | 06:41 |
| ardchoille | ^Phantom^: have you tried chromium yet? I found it to be much faster and doesn't crash | 06:41 |
| lighta | ^Phantom^ why don't you try other navigator like chronium ? | 06:41 |
| ^Phantom^ | Is this FF crash bug common? | 06:41 |
| SkyVodka | I have had my RAM get loaded after loading too much porn without closing Firefox to clear the cache | 06:41 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, it's list of site that the bot will work on | 06:42 |
| lighta | flash vid ? | 06:42 |
| Akjj | ^Phantom^: I use lynx on my comp with 128MB of ram and 1 ghz proc. It's great. Never crashes | 06:42 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, I need to edit that list | 06:42 |
| lighta | yeah I had it alot | 06:42 |
| ^Phantom^ | This'll happen even on a fresh boot | 06:42 |
| Taffy | ardchoille did u try windows + m neat | 06:42 |
| Akjj | Tanvir: If it isn't sensative you could upload the file and i could try looking at it | 06:42 |
| ardchoille | Taffy: ugh, it's like film negatives! | 06:42 |
| SkyVodka | ^Phantom^, that isn't kool then, does Chrome give you those issues | 06:42 |
| A_User | Akjj: NO | 06:43 |
| ^Phantom^ | I haven't tried Chrome | 06:43 |
| lighta | or opera | 06:43 |

| Akjj | Okay | 06:43 |

| ardchoille | Taffy: might be monitor dependent then, makes all my windows invert colors | 06:44 |
| ^Phantom^ | any bigger and LOCKUP | 06:44 |
| Akjj | A_User: Okay. Do you have the windows install disk? You might have to run fixmbr from the recovery console | 06:44 |
| SkyVodka | yup | 06:44 |
| maco | kisuke: rename 's/.html/.php/' *.html | 06:44 |
| kisuke | maco: just rename fiel1 file2? | 06:44 |
| ^Phantom^ | you too, SkyVodka? | 06:44 |
| Akjj | A_User: I haven't worked with xp in a bit so my command might be slightly off | 06:44 |
| ardchoille | hi maco | 06:44 |
| SkyVodka | I haven't tried a pic that big in a while | 06:44 |
| A_User | Akjj: even on ubuntu, in places i don't see my c drive partition !!! | 06:44 |
| ^Phantom^ | But you get the same problem, SkyVodka ? | 06:45 |
| SkyVodka | freeporndumpster poops itself with files that big | 06:45 |
| maco | kisuke: that command would rename all the html files to be php files, for example | 06:45 |
| SkyVodka | nope | 06:45 |
| asdfqwer | is there a way to set the --geometry for gnome-terminal in your profile? | 06:45 |
| maco | SkyVodka: uh, could you please keep it family-friendly? | 06:45 |
| SkyVodka | yes sir | 06:45 |
| Akjj | A_User: I'm pretty sure that you just overwrote the windows boot information. And running "fixmbr" and "fixboot" from the xp recovery console should be a good idea. | 06:45 |
| kisuke | maco: i have the rename page up, gime a minute to wrap my mind atround it :P | 06:45 |
| A_User | Akjj: i agree, but why the drive is not being shown in ubuntu? | 06:46 |
| lighta | A_User, there no logical partition on ubuntu | 06:46 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c53emccmk9c4gy9 | 06:46 |
| Taffy | ardchoille think your right inverted everything in all my windows even web | 06:46 |
| A_User | Akjj: ok, but when i goto places, and select computer | 06:47 |
| Akjj | A_User: Are you sure it isn't? It won't show as C. If you mount sdaNUMBER do any of them have your data on it? | 06:47 |
| A_User | Akjj: I can see others, but not the one that is identified as C in windows | 06:47 |
| Akjj | Tanvir: It's an SQLite database | 06:47 |
| ardchoille | Taffy: I think all of these are compiz stuff. I remember seeing that inversion when I ran full compiz/fusion icon | 06:47 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, yes. | 06:48 |
| Akjj | Tanvir: Version 3 if that helps. That's the most recent version | 06:48 |
| A_User | Akjj: no such entry either | 06:48 |
| Akjj | Well, you can open that with the sqlite binary | 06:48 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, what should I install? | 06:48 |
| lk | linux can see the windows disks,but windows can`t see the linux disks | 06:48 |
| Akjj | http://www.sqlite.org/download.html | 06:48 |
| Akjj | A_User: Hmm... Are you comfy with the terminal? I'd manually mount your devices and check em | 06:48 |
| Akjj | It might just not be showing for some strange reason. | 06:49 |
| A_User | Akjj: ok | 06:49 |
| Akjj | I don't trust file managers anymore tbh | 06:49 |
| lighta | lk, you should install 3d programs for windows like ext2read | 06:49 |
| Tanvir | Akjj, is there a command to run from terminal? | 06:49 |
| lk | oh..i don`t know that,ths | 06:49 |
| Akjj | Tanvir: sudo apt-get install sqlite3 | 06:50 |
| lighta | lk, well depend on your file system of course, but windows can only see ntfs and fat32, so any other need 3d tool | 06:50 |
| Akjj | Tanvir: This might be tricky if you don't know SQL syntax. For example "SELECT * FROM `data` WHERE `name`="bob"; | 06:50 |
| mneptok | Akjj: the MySQL/MariaDB storage engine you use can most certainly care about file name extensions. | 06:50 |

| snapp | someone have any idea?? | 07:13 |
| Jordan_U | !details | snapp | 07:13 |
| ubottu | snapp: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 07:13 |
| kisuke | Emanon: not really then, and the 64 bit version is not really recomended for regular use at any rate | 07:14 |
| boxbeatsy | hi, i know this might sound dubious, but i'm absolutely convinced that my server is crashing ONLY when I run it in the background. does anybody know what might cause this? | 07:15 |
| Jordan_U | boxbeatsy: When you run what in the background? | 07:16 |
| A_User | Akjj: is there an undo process for grub-install?? | 07:16 |
| jsn | there is some problem in playing video files .when i play them video doesn come but sound comes.this problem occurred suddenly,it was not there when i had installed ubuntu..can anybod help? | 07:16 |
| Jordan_U | A_User: Follow this guide to restore the Windows PBR: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector | 07:16 |
| boxbeatsy | Jordan_U: it's a python bottle server | 07:17 |
| boxbeatsy | Jordan_U: i'm trying to run it like: python server.py > server.log 2>&1 &, but everytime i run it in teh bckground it crashes after half an hour with absolutely no traceback int he log file | 07:17 |
| Jordan_U | boxbeatsy: How are you running it in the background? | 07:17 |
| boxbeatsy | on the other hand, whenever i run it in the foreground it stays running for days on end until i try again in the background | 07:18 |
| sacarlson | A_User: each grub-install will just undo the last | 07:18 |
| overclucker | boxbeatsy: try running it in screen | 07:18 |
| juk | boxbeatsy: ask in #python | 07:19 |
| boxbeatsy | i'm not familiar with screen. how would that help? | 07:19 |
| Jordan_U | boxbeatsy: Are you running out of space on the filesystem containing the log file? | 07:19 |
| boxbeatsy | ive tried python :\ | 07:19 |
| boxbeatsy | Jordan_U: o itneresting..how would i check that? | 07:19 |
| Jordan_U | boxbeatsy: "df -h" to view free space. | 07:20 |
| boxbeatsy | Jordan_U: i have 11/15GB available | 07:20 |
| star3am | The mapping for this reverse DNS entry is failing because the PTR record doesn't match the A record for that domain. We currently require the forward A record to match the PTR record for all reverse DNS entries. | 07:20 |
| star3am | can anyone help ? | 07:20 |
| jsn | there is some problem in playing video files .when i play them video doesn come but sound comes.this problem occurred suddenly,it was not there when i had installed ubuntu..can anybod help? | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | boxbeatsy: What filesystem is the log file stored on? | 07:20 |
| boxbeatsy | i'm also confident that it's not anything to do with oom because it runs perfectly fine in foreground | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | boxbeatsy: What filesystem type that is, extN, fat32, ntfs, etc. | 07:21 |
| kiwilatham | jsn: what player are you trying with? | 07:21 |
| kisuke | jsn: have you updated anything recently? | 07:22 |
| boxbeatsy | Jordan_U: when i use df i see "dev/sda1" <- ext3, devtmpfs<-devtmpfs, /dev/sda2<-ext3 | 07:22 |
| boxbeatsy | and i think the log is going to /dev/sda1 | 07:22 |
| kisuke | boxbeatsy: you need to use the -h flag | 07:22 |
| boxbeatsy | yea, i just used df -T | 07:23 |
| boxbeatsy | also in my trials, i've been running it in the foreground but still logging to the same place | 07:23 |
| jsn | i hav tried playing with all the players like gnome movie player, gnomeMplayer,vlc etc..but one thing is there when i changed the video output from default to x11 in gnomeMplayer then it is working fine.but i am unable to do this thing with other players | 07:24 |
| overclucker | boxbeatsy: gnu screen is a detatchable terminal multiplexer, you could try running your server in screen. | 07:24 |
| jsn | kisuke: i hav tried playing with all the players like gnome movie player, gnomeMplayer,vlc etc..but one thing is there when i changed the video output from default to x11 in gnomeMplayer then it is working fine.but i am unable to do this thing with other players | 07:24 |
| jsn | kisuke: just some of the chromium updates | 07:24 |
| boxbeatsy | overclucker: o i see | 07:24 |
| boxbeatsy | but are there fundamental reasons something like this could happen? | 07:25 |
| boxbeatsy | i'm just completely boggled and have no idea what could remotely cause this | 07:25 |
| kisuke | jsn: is this one file or several? | 07:25 |
| jsn | kisuke: several..all video files | 07:25 |
| kiwilatham | jsn: you can change the video output in vlc under tools->preferences->video->output dropdown. | 07:26 |
| boxbeatsy | it's like there's some process saying..."i want to kill some processes randomly...let's only look for background processes...and let's pick the same one very time" | 07:26 |
| jsn | kisuke : i have tried this thing in vlc but it was of no help | 07:26 |
| jaywalker | Howdy. Got a little issue with SSH on ubuntu server | 07:27 |
| khannz | Can someone tell me, where I can set up my system-wide proxy settings? I mean really system-wide so I never using "export http_proxy.." stuff again. and even sudo commands used it | 07:27 |
| kiwilatham | have you tried running mplayer from the commandline? What kind of output do you get? | 07:27 |
| kiwilatham | khannz look in /etc/profile.d/ | 07:28 |
| jaywalker | im trying to change the port it listens on to something else, and even tho I've changed the config file (and removed port 22) and restarted ssh, it still lets me connect on port 22 | 07:28 |
| khannz | kiwilatham, kk, let me try and thanks anyway ) | 07:29 |
| kiwilatham | jaywalker: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585598 | 07:29 |
| sacarlson | jaywalker: you say removed port 22, you do need to assign some port number, if so what file did you modify? | 07:29 |
| Prinler | Can someone help me get some ubuntu/windows 7 sharing setup? | 07:30 |
| kiwilatham | khanz: Sweet bro. | 07:30 |
| jaywalker | ah, i see. so is /etc/ssh/ssh_config just a default file that doesn't get read? | 07:30 |
| TheMusicGuy | I'm having trouble with permissions and file ownership on a CIFS filesystem. My mount line is here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/338771/ | 07:31 |
| jsn | kisuku: deleted my configuration file of vlc and again restored it now it is working fine..can u tell me what thing i did wrong earlier due to which this mess happend | 07:31 |
| kiwilatham | Prinler: A super quick fix (not longterm or full time is to install winscp (free) on windows. It uses ssh port 22 to connect and do scp file copying over a gui. Not as nice as samba but gets you there in the end. | 07:31 |
| sacarlson | jaywalker: that's the wrong file to edit, you want to change /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 07:31 |
| boxbeatsy | any hypotheses? :\ | 07:31 |
| TheMusicGuy | Everything on the share is owned by "root", but its supposed to be owned by "brad" | 07:31 |
| jaywalker | kk, got it | 07:31 |
| noGoodNicks | this is a support channel, right? | 07:32 |
| Prinler | well i installed samba but im no pro... Think you can run me threw some things? | 07:32 |
| kisuke | ok regresh my memory, does ubuntu desktop come with a sshd by default? | 07:33 |
| TheMusicGuy | kisuke: I don't think so | 07:33 |
| juk | kisuke: no | 07:33 |
| kisuke | TheMusicGuy: juk thanks | 07:33 |
| jsn | kisuke: do u know? | 07:33 |
| kiwilatham | Prinler: which way do you wish to sync? | 07:34 |
| noGoodNicks | for some reason my audio has decided to flake out on me. PulseAudio skips about randomly when the CPU load is high, which seems to happen when phy0 spikes. It has never done this before today... | 07:34 |
| kisuke | jsn: nope sorry | 07:34 |
| kiwilatham | dont all distros come with sshd by default? | 07:34 |
| noGoodNicks | is there a way to get pulseAudio to stop skipping, or alternatively stop phy0 from spiking as often as it does? :/ | 07:34 |
| jsn | kisuke: okay no worries | 07:34 |
| Prinler | It doesnt matter... i attempted to mount a share.... now im trying samba.... I just installed and dunno if it needs config or something. | 07:34 |

| wyldguy | how can i get access to /ect/apt in ubunto 7.10? | 07:39 |
| vega-_ | wyldguy: what do you mean "get access" ? | 07:40 |
| vega-_ | (although 7.10 is not supported anymore..) | 07:40 |
| wyldguy | well my apt.list has # all through them i wanna get into there to remove them | 07:40 |

| TheMusicGuy | How can I get the correct file ownership/group for a Windows 7 share mounted as CIFS? | 07:42 |
| kiwilatham | Prinler: have you done a sudo apt-get install smbfs smbclient? | 07:42 |
| r3d2 | hey you guys im getting permission denied on "sudo ls -l > list.txt | 07:42 |
| r3d2 | " | 07:42 |
| Prinler | no but i did so sudo apt-get install smbfs | 07:42 |
| r3d2 | whats going on | 07:42 |
| vega-_ | wyldguy: there's also a graphical utility for editing source repositories, software manager/sources or something like that if you don't know how to use command line | 07:42 |
| kiwilatham | Prinler: then try: smbclient -L ip.addr.of.win7 -U% | 07:42 |
| kiwilatham | ok - you have to install smbclient | 07:43 |
| kiwilatham | not sure if smbfs will install smblcient as a dependancy. | 07:43 |
| Prinler | i did install "sambA"" | 07:43 |
| jsn | juk: i want to download the video files which streams like in youtube..can u tell me any software or plugin for dowloading these videos from any site? | 07:44 |
| kiwilatham | what happens when you try smbclient -L ip.addr.of.win7 -U% | 07:44 |
| Prinler | i get erroras | 07:45 |
| Prinler | it tells me about the OS | 07:45 |
| zx | ni | 07:45 |
| zx | Hi | 07:45 |
| Prinler | but i get denied and no workgroup avail | 07:45 |
| kiwilatham | grendal: vsftpd has configuration settings in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf for declaring where anonymous uploads are pathed to. You might have to enable the right ownership of files in the location you specify. | 07:46 |
| r3d2 | hey you guys im getting permission denied on "sudo ls -l > list.txt" | 07:46 |
| vega-_ | jsn: sudo apt-get install youtube-dl | 07:46 |
| wyldguy | ya cant avoid the term to do the editing to the /ect/apt sources list? | 07:46 |
| kiwilatham | Prinler: have you confirmed that you are able to browse the share from another windows machine? | 07:46 |
| jsn | vega: this is for only youtube ? | 07:47 |
| Prinler | yea | 07:47 |
| vega-_ | jsn: yes | 07:47 |
| r3d2 | hey you guys im getting permission denied on "sudo ls -l > list.txt" | 07:47 |
| Prinler | I share all my files | 07:47 |

| Chikokishi | Im trying to get my sound to work and my chipset is "ICH9" under "intel" but i cant find it on the chipset list from Alas or whatever. Am i screwed? | 07:52 |
| TheMusicGuy | Are mount.smbs and mount.cifs the same? | 07:52 |
| libaofeng | how to use *.bin | 07:52 |

| KatronixSerf | kiwilatham, thanks | 07:53 |
| libaofeng | who can tell me ? | 07:53 |
| pksadiq | libaofeng: if it's executable you can do ./<filename> | 07:53 |
| kiwilatham | I think mount.cifs replaces mount.smbfs | 07:54 |
| Diverdude | how do i execute a ash-script on startup? | 07:54 |
| kiwilatham | libaofeng: if ./<filename> does not work, try first chmod +x <filename> then ./<filename> | 07:55 |
| === oden is now known as Guest21874 | ||
| TheMusicGuy | kiwilatham: so mount.cifs uses the same command structure as mount.smbfs and supports the same options, etc.? | 07:55 |
| gaelfx | so I just updated to 10.10 from 10.04 because when I used the liveUSB, my DVD actually worked, and now that I've finished and fully installed my DVD player is broken again, is there anything I can do to diagnose the problem, if not solve it? | 07:55 |
| kiwilatham | there are various methods of executing scripts on startup. When would you like to execute the file? During boot, or when you log in. | 07:56 |
| kiwilatham | TheMusicGuy: I use mount.cifs with the -o switches to specify username and password at work to mount Windows2003 shares from inside redhat linux. I am sure ubuntu is the same. | 07:57 |
| kiwilatham | man mount.cifs | 07:57 |

| ohzie | Hey guys. I have an issue with bind, and the #bind channel is kinda quiet this late, so I thought I'd throw it out here and see if anyone had any ideas. =) When I start my bind server it errors out saying it can't open "rndc.key" "Permission denied" This is weird because the dhcpd user owns that file. I still get the error when I make it a+rwx. What could possibly cause a world-read/write/executable file to deny permission to a deamon to open it? | 07:59 |
| ohzie | Sorry, that's a large bit of text but it's a strange problem that baffling me. | 07:59 |
| TheMusicGuy | kiwilatham: it seems that mount.smbfs is an alias for mount.cifs (same with man mount.smbfs) | 07:59 |
| kiwilatham | TheMusicGuy: yeah. I guessed so. On my system mount.smbfs does not exist. But then I use a different distro. | 08:00 |
| Prinler | Couldn't chdir to /home/steve/music: No such file or directory | 08:00 |
| TheMusicGuy | kiwilatham: I was just wondering because I'm having some issues with file ownership and I thought it might be because I was using the wrong filesystem. | 08:00 |
| Prinler | kiwilatham, Couldn't chdir to /home/steve/music: No such file or directory | 08:00 |
| kiwilatham | Prinler: does /home/steve/music exist on your system? | 08:00 |
| Prinler | yes | 08:01 |
| Prinler | sudo smbmount \\steve-pc\mp3 /home/steve/Music -o username=steve, password=MYPASSWORD, uid=1000, mask=000 | 08:01 |
| Prinler | is the username and password the username and pass from the windows machine? | 08:01 |
| kiwilatham | ok remove the space after the comma. use forward slashes for //steve-pc/mp3 | 08:01 |
| llutz_ | Prinler: Music or music? it's case sensitive | 08:01 |
| Prinler | i tried both | 08:02 |
| TheMusicGuy | kiwilatham: also there isn't a "cifs.conf" in any of the man pages, only "smb.conf". It seems...inconsistent. | 08:02 |
| kiwilatham | and yes - ensure case sensitivy is correct and that you have the username and password correct for the fileshare permissions on the windows machine. | 08:02 |
| brverg | i have a problem with my flash player | 08:03 |
| kiwilatham | right. samba still uses smb.conf. The commands I suggested use cifs which is a filesystem type that mount will apply when mounting the share. Once we confirm this works we can start looking at configuring samba. | 08:03 |
| brverg | my browser crashes when i have more than two tabs for youtube | 08:04 |
| brverg | my system is updated but still the adobe flash player crashes..pls help | 08:05 |
| kiwilatham | TheMusicGuy: file ownership and filesystem would be a new one for me. Have you checked everything else? IE: chown and chmod? Does ubuntu have SELINUX or an equivalent that is getting in your way? | 08:05 |
| Prinler | mount.cifs: bad UNC (\steve-pcmp3) | 08:05 |

| ohzie | CalvinMcGee: the best resource I've found with things that are laptop-specific(as this issue probably is) is linux-laptop.com | 08:08 |
| kiwilatham | TheMusicGuy: are you mounting a FAT32 or NTFS filesystem? | 08:08 |
| llutz_ | TheMusicGuy: smbf/cifs is not a unix-fs, so you cannot use chmod/chown. you have to use mount-options | 08:08 |
| almoxarife | CalvinMcGee: that's the correct behavior, changes made to it | 08:08 |
| ohzie | CalvinMcGee: there are forums dedicated to makes/models of netbooks, and most problems I've had, someone else has bhad and posted about | 08:09 |

| CalvinMcGee | almoxarife: It says "time to empty: o seconds" | 08:11 |
| llutz_ | TheMusicGuy: check "man mount.cifs" for uid/gid | 08:12 |
| TheMusicGuy | llutz: no, that's not what I'm talking about... | 08:12 |
| brverg | <gaelfx> but everything is fine if i don't do tab browsing for youtube.. i mean viewing one video at a time is no problem.. + | 08:12 |
| gaelfx | brverg: are you using adobe's player? | 08:13 |
| Prinler | *pulls hair out* | 08:13 |
| Prinler | blasted google | 08:13 |
| kiwilatham | ahaaa. I am not sure you are able to mount easily using mount-options when mounting an nfts drive. I have just read: FILE AND DIRECTORY OWNERSHIP AND PERMISSIONS in man mount.cifs | 08:13 |
| almoxarife | CalvinMcGee: I get the same numbers, and mine is fully charged | 08:13 |
| gaelfx | brverg: also are you using 10.10 or 10.04 (Ubuntu)? | 08:13 |
| Prinler | boooo | 08:14 |
| llutz_ | TheMusicGuy: "<TheMusicGuy> kiwilatham: I can mount the filesystem without any problem, but everything is owned by root and it should be owned by another user. Attempting to chown/chgrp does nothing" this is what _i_ am talking about | 08:14 |
| CalvinMcGee | almoxarife: well, mine is 37% | 08:14 |
| brverg | <gaelfx> yes i'm using adobe's palyer | 08:14 |
| TheMusicGuy | llutz: When mounting a share from a host that uses the "UNIX extensions," the client (Ubuntu in this case) should be able to determine the owner and permissions on a per-file basis...I thought. | 08:14 |
| brverg | <gaelfx> ubuntu 10.10 | 08:15 |
| almoxarife | CalvinMcGee: the nifty batt indicator when you hover over the batt is gone, why?? no idea | 08:15 |
| LinSteveH | I need some help troubleshooting a NFS problem. I have a NAS running NFS. and I believe that it is running properly, because I see it both on the server (exportfs looks right) and the client (showmount shows the same info). I have a mountpoint on the client, with root as owner/group. Am I overlooking something?? | 08:15 |
| LinSteveH | ubuntu==10.10 | 08:16 |
| kiwilatham | that depends on whether or not the client negotiates UNIX extensions. The MusicGuy, Is this a USB disk or somwthing. | 08:16 |
| CalvinMcGee | almoxarife: but on my other laptop, it works fine | 08:16 |
| Prinler | kiwilatham, lemme try a ftp server.... if that dont work? $&^%#^&#$ im gonna buy a fing thumb drive | 08:16 |
| Prinler | walk it over | 08:16 |
| almoxarife | CalvinMcGee: 10.4 ? | 08:16 |
| almoxarife | or 10.10? | 08:16 |
| TheMusicGuy | kiwilatham: no...its a partition on the internal HD that is being accessed over the network. | 08:16 |
| bigbang | how to install bery on ubuntu 10.10 | 08:16 |

| almoxarife | CalvinMcGee: 10.4 worked fine on mine | 08:16 |
| kiwilatham | ok. try mounting using mount.cifs and adding the uid=xxx,gid=xxx options | 08:17 |
| kiwilatham | these are the uid and gid from /etc/passwd and /etc/group files | 08:17 |
| CalvinMcGee | almoxarife: crap... | 08:17 |
| Thrawn | Hi, i need help with setting up an ad-hoc network between a windows 7 and an ubuntu machine | 08:17 |
| Prinler | kiwilatham, over my head. Like i said im just dipping toes into this. havent got that far to know 100% what your talking about | 08:18 |
| kiwilatham | Prinler: Thrawn: Save yourselves both a huge headach and just insstall WinSCP on your windows machine and browse to the Ubuntu machine. | 08:18 |
| Thrawn | cool i got that app alrdy | 08:19 |
| gaelfx | brverg: the version of Firefox you're using is the one provided or are you using a different version? | 08:19 |
| TheMusicGuy | kiwilatham: according to the man pages, won't that force _everything_ in the share to have the same uid/gid? (That's not what I want) | 08:19 |
| zhu | who | 08:20 |
| brverg | <gaelfx> it's the one provided | 08:21 |
| almoxarife | CalvinMcGee: and then a ppa came to save the day, maybe, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/battery-status-ppa-finally-updated-with.html | 08:21 |
| Thrawn | kiwilatham: im complete networking noob :( got a link to a tutorial @ settings in WinSCP to get windows->ubuntu filesharing working? | 08:21 |
| === richard is now known as richardr | ||
| kiwilatham | TheMusicGuy: Look, I dont really know. It would appear that your client does not support Unix extentions. If you dont specify the UID / GID then the file permissions will be those of the user that executed mount. Is there a way to configure mount to be executed by a non root user? | 08:21 |
| bigbang | how to install beryl on ubuntu10.10 | 08:22 |
| CalvinMcGee | almoxarife: Yay! | 08:22 |
| llutz_ | kiwilatham: add it to fstab with "users" option | 08:22 |
| gaelfx | brverg: ok, one more question, 32 or 64-bit? | 08:22 |
| Prinler | kiwilatham, Installed winscp gonna take a quick look see if i can figure it out | 08:23 |
| TheMusicGuy | kiwilatham: My server is WIndows 7 Pro. My client is Ubuntu. I don't know what Win 7 supports. I thought it supported the Unix extensions, maybe it doesn't. | 08:23 |
| brverg | <gaelfx> 32bit | 08:24 |
| kiwilatham | Prinler: Excellent. It's handy for a quick file transfer here and there. Really good for ad-hoc stuff. | 08:24 |
| Prinler | Its open asking me for info... privatekeyfile? | 08:25 |
| Prinler | protocol? | 08:25 |
| kiwilatham | TheMusicGuy: Maybe you should just give it a go huh? Try the fstab users option on the mount. That should allow you to mount the thing as a normal user. Alternatively try it with the commandline and see if it works. | 08:25 |
| llutz_ | Prinler: winscp needs openssh-server running on ubuntu | 08:25 |
| Prinler | oh god | 08:25 |
| Starminn | !compiz | bigbang | 08:25 |

| llutz_ | Prinler: if you haven't set up keys just use username/password to authenticate in winscp | 08:27 |
| Thrawn | what do i type as host name in winSCP | 08:27 |
| llutz_ | Thrawn: linux-machines name or ip | 08:28 |
| Thrawn | llutz_: where do i find that? | 08:28 |
| Thrawn | (in ubuntu) | 08:28 |
| llutz_ | Thrawn: "hostname" "ifconfig" | 08:28 |
| TheMusicGuy | kiwilatham: Listen. Setting the uid, gid, and users options does indeed do exactly what you say it should do. I already tried it. However, that isn't the issue here. I can't just mount everything in the share with the same uid/gid and file permissions; that doesn't work for what I'm ultimately trying to do. I need separate ownership and permission bits for each file. | 08:28 |
| Prinler | ok trusting | 08:29 |

| Prinler | it can play hdmi? | 09:03 |
| kisuke | Prinler: if you have a video card that can out put to it | 09:04 |
| TheMusicGuy | Intersting factoid...All recent WIndows systems have a hidden user called "Administrator" that functions a lot like root does on Linux. You can't log into this account normally, and usually don't need to, just like root on Ubuntu. | 09:05 |
| TheMusicGuy | But that reminds me...don't you need a root password to log into recovery mode on Ubuntu? | 09:06 |

| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: we don't need the interesting factoids in this channel either, it's ubuntu support channel only | 09:07 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: um...sorry. but it wasn't, like, completely off topic. I said it because of libaofeng's question. | 09:08 |
| gaelfx | what command will list sata devices? | 09:08 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: it's not needed, but no problem | 09:08 |
| Prinler | what better supported nvidia or ati | 09:09 |
| sacarlson | gaelfx: I think sudo lshw gives a list of them also maybe sudo fdisk -l | 09:09 |

| TheMusicGuy | the problem is that I'm trying to mount a network share at boot, but the NIC isn't ready until after logging into X, so the mount always fails. | 09:17 |

| luoluoluo | hi there, i have a problem. I want to return to the page before login. How can i do it? I'm using AuthComponent for login | 09:19 |
| ikonia | luoluoluo: loginto what ? | 09:20 |
| ikonia | luoluoluo: login to what | 09:20 |
| luoluoluo | for example, i want show page admin/icons/index, but i'm not login | 09:20 |
| luoluoluo | the auth component will lead me to the login page | 09:20 |
| luoluoluo | after entering login name and passwords | 09:20 |
| luoluoluo | i want to automatically return to admin/icons/index | 09:21 |
| kisuke | luoluoluo: on what? a webpage? | 09:21 |
| ikonia | luoluoluo: ask in #httpd that's an apache issue | 09:21 |
| gaelfx | man, my DVD drive is doing some weird stuff. It takes about 5 minutes for it to recognize a DVD and then it fails to mount it, I mount it manually and can play, but the system lags like mad. Anyone have any ideas what might be going wrong? | 09:21 |
| kisuke | gaelfx: what kindof DVD drive? | 09:21 |
| brontosaurusrex | how can i test postfix sending mail from cli? | 09:21 |
| luoluoluo | can't I do this just by using stuff like loginRedirection? | 09:21 |
| ikonia | brontosaurusrex: mail user@host.com | 09:22 |
| ikonia | luoluoluo: ask in #httpd it's an apache module issue | 09:22 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: the NIC is a different device depending on whether the system is booted inside a virtual machine or on the physical hardware. If its on the physical hardware, the NIC is weird wifi USB adapter that needed special configuration to work. If the system is booted in the VM, its an emulated ethernet adapter. | 09:22 |
| Ambient | yeah i'm over this now is there any other way i can do this ps/2 mouse deal or is linux just incapable | 09:22 |
| TheMusicGuy | (which is bridged to the real USB NIC) | 09:22 |
| gordonjcp | luoluoluo: loginRedirection in what? | 09:22 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: then you have to accept the limitations, a simple option would be to do the mount command in your login profile after a "sleep 120" command | 09:23 |
| gordonjcp | luoluoluo: you're asking in the wrong place, but someone can probably tell you a better place to ask with a bit more information | 09:23 |
| brontosaurusrex | ikonia: and error log will be.. ? | 09:23 |
| llutz_ | brontosaurusrex: /var/log/mail.err | 09:23 |
| gaelfx | kisuke: Pioneer, if that's what you mean | 09:23 |
| ikonia | brontosaurusrex: the postfix error log, the mail log and the screen | 09:23 |
| jatt | how do I add a volume control to the panel | 09:24 |
| kisuke | gaelfx: try loading a DVD then run "dmesg | tail" from a terminal | 09:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | hmm, no errors, just mail didnt get where it shoudl | 09:24 |
| gaelfx | kisuke: kk, hang on | 09:24 |
| ikonia | brontosaurusrex: has it left the mail queue | 09:24 |
| ikonia | brontosaurusrex: do you see it being acceptabed in the mail log | 09:25 |
| gaelfx | it'll take at least 5 minutes before I can do that | 09:25 |
| ikonia | Darwin4Ever: do you see it being sent in the postfix log ? | 09:25 |
| kisuke | gaelfx: when you do finish that use a pastebin. | 09:25 |
| brontosaurusrex | ikonia: left the quote, let me check the mail log | 09:25 |

| chandima | hi | 09:30 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: How about this: Since the network share comes from the host operating system, it won't be available when running through physical hardware anyway. (In this case the same files are available on an actual hard drive partition) That being the case, I don't need to mount any shares when in physical mode...so can I optionally turn NM off when in the VM? | 09:30 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: not really no | 09:30 |
| jatt | how do I add a volume control applet to the panel | 09:31 |
| kisuke | gaelfx: run "dmsg > ~/dmesg.txt" and pastebin it please, that raised more questions than it answered | 09:31 |
| robertzaccour | hey yall | 09:31 |
| kisuke | robertzaccour: hey | 09:31 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: btw I can detect whether or not the system is in a VM at boot by using imvirt | 09:31 |
| luoluoluo | sorry, entered wrong channel.... | 09:31 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: doesn't matter | 09:31 |
| robertzaccour | anyone know which laptops would be best for running Linux? | 09:31 |
| Starminn | jatt: right-click on the panel->Add to Panel...->Indicator Applet | 09:32 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: look on the Linux supported lists, they are the best ones | 09:32 |
| Skater | I am pulling teeth to figure this out. I now have the latest drivers for my GTX 295 cards but still can't get the HDMI working. I have gone so far as to restart the install of 10.10 to confirm that HDMI is working because I see commands on the HDMI Screen. Does anyone have any idea how I can get HDMI to work when I start ubuntu as now it only works with DVI :( | 09:32 |
| robertzaccour | I think I'm gonna put Win 7 back on this thing and be more selective with my next purchase | 09:32 |
| jatt | Starminn: thanks that worked | 09:32 |
| Starminn | jatt: Not a problem. :) | 09:32 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: there isn't a script I can modify to conditionally start NM? | 09:32 |
| kisuke | robertzaccour: dell is usually decent, what you looking to do? | 09:32 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: no | 09:32 |
| jatt | robertzaccour: hp laptops are a pain on the neck | 09:32 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia, preinstalled Linux laptops a safe bet? like system 76 and things like that? | 09:32 |
| Starminn | jatt: Agreed. HP in general has it out for Ubuntu. | 09:32 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: that's a safe bet yes, but also there are non-preinstalled laptops that are supported | 09:33 |
| robertzaccour | kisuke, being able to record a screencast without turning compiz off | 09:33 |
| jatt | robertzaccour: dell had linux preinstalled some time ago I bought one of them and worked fine, I think they don't do it anymore | 09:33 |
| ikonia | Starminn: that's nonsense, please don't talk nosense in here | 09:33 |
| robertzaccour | basic compis for running docky. can't even run basic compiz with a screencast. i can but it won't record right | 09:33 |
| kisuke | robertzaccour: thats more relatedto who made your GFX card then who put the PC together | 09:33 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: I'm sorry but can you please provide a little more information than just "no, you can't?" Is there page that can explain why it isn't possible, for example? | 09:33 |
| sathis | i face a problem in Ubuntu LTSP server | 09:33 |
| Starminn | ikonia: I concede, it wasn't a factual piece of information -- I've just had bad experience with incompatibilities with them. HP I'm sure has nothing against any Linux distro, really. I withdraw my previous statement. :) | 09:34 |
| sathis | i have made this for OUTBOUND callcenter | 09:34 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: it's not possible beacuse network manager/not-network manager isn't enabled/disabled in a config file so it's awkward to manaipulate | 09:34 |
| ikonia | manipulate even | 09:34 |
| sathis | but the voice quality and voice break are @ high level | 09:34 |

| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: there isn't | 09:39 |

| morgan__ | hmm - is there a list of default apps for mime types in ubuntu.. open with isnt helping | 09:40 |
| ikonia | it's an application that is loaded as part of the desktop component, it's either loaded with network card configs, or without any (null) which in effect disables it | 09:41 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: that implies that there's something somewhere that starts the service when the desktop starts. Perhaps a component of the X11 suite of startup scripts? | 09:43 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: no, it's part of the desktop | 09:43 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: if you don't believe me, go and do some research instead of asking if it's possible, I tell you it's not really possible and you arguing it is, despite asking if it is | 09:43 |
| jatt | what is not possible? | 09:43 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: I am. | 09:44 |
| brontosaurusrex | wow, got postfix working with gmail smtp relay | 09:44 |
| ikonia | jatt: dynamically enabling/disable nmapplet and then either populating/unpoppulating the interfaces file depenidng on location | 09:44 |
| ikonia | and of course populating/unpopulating the networkmanager applets config stored within gnome | 09:44 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: ok, nmapplet. that right there helps me. | 09:44 |
| gaelfx | kisuke: ok, well, it takes about a minute for it to show up, but I didn't have any of the sluggishness during that minute | 09:46 |

| zetheroo | so whats the point of swap? | 09:47 |
| gaelfx | kisuke: ever since 10.04 | 09:47 |
| ikonia | llutz_: how would that disable/enable nmapplet outside of gnome ? | 09:48 |
| gaelfx | kisuke: it's the reason I updated to 10.10, which I'm very nearly regretting at the moment | 09:48 |
| kisuke | so it just started in 10.04? when you installed it? after an update? when? | 09:48 |
| llutz_ | ikonia: inside vm: interfaces-file with enabled eth0 would cause nm to ignore that interface | 09:48 |
| llutz_ | ikonia: just a thought | 09:48 |
| ikonia | it wouldn't ignore it, it creates a conflict | 09:48 |
| zetheroo | my system gets to using 90% of RAM and then just starts locking up with apps freezing etc ... and swap is at 5% capacity!? ... whats up with that? | 09:48 |
| gaelfx | kisuke: ever since I installed the DVD drive actually (I didn't have it in my box initally) | 09:49 |
| zetheroo | or is swap just for "looks"!? :P | 09:49 |
| llutz_ | ikonia: wait... if one configures i.e. eth0 in /e/n/interfaces it shows as "ignored" in nmapplet. doesn't it? | 09:49 |
| gaelfx | zetheroo: swap is for inactive apps | 09:49 |
| kisuke | gaelfx: open up the computer, and reseat the drive, if that does not work try a diffrent slot, your dmesg is telling me either the drive is bad or its gota bad conenction | 09:49 |
| ikonia | llutz_: I've only ever seen it create conflicts, beyond what it says | 09:50 |
| zetheroo | gaelfx: meaning? if they are inactive why bother having them in swap? | 09:50 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: llutz: sorry, I'm going to have to pick this up tomorrow; I need to go now... | 09:50 |
| gaelfx | kisuke: I'm starting to suspect it has something to do with my mobo | 09:50 |
| gaelfx | !swap > zetheroo | 09:50 |
| ubottu | zetheroo, please see my private message | 09:50 |
| kisuke | zetheroo: swap is for incative apps that you are running but are are not fully active for what ever reason. | 09:50 |
| llutz_ | ikonia: i haven't tried that too, so it was just an idea | 09:51 |
| kisuke | gaelfx: like i said, try diffrent ports on the mobo | 09:51 |
| ikonia | it's valid, but practically, I don't believe it works | 09:51 |
| gaelfx | think like when you're using tabbed browsing and you're only looking at one or two tabs | 09:51 |
| gaelfx | kisuke: I guess I'll have to give it a go | 09:51 |
| zetheroo | kisuke: maybe they are inactive due to a system freezing up!? ... ha .. I just don't get why automatically there is this 5GB swap partition created and it's basically useless ... | 09:51 |
| gaelfx | kisuke: it might be a good excuse to make a new box though :D | 09:52 |
| gaelfx | zetheroo: how much physical ram do you have? | 09:52 |
| satya | <ikonia> my clients could not ping with hostname but it ping with ip | 09:52 |
| kisuke | zetheroo: more like they are running and not doing any thing so go to swap | 09:52 |
| zetheroo | gaelfx: 2GB ... I know .. I should have 4 or more ... but alas ... | 09:52 |
| satya | <ikonia> clients connected webserver through wireless router | 09:53 |
| gaelfx | zetheroo: and what kind of apps are you running when this happens? | 09:53 |

| rumpe1 | zamba, you have to use the public ip of the net... not 192.168.0.1, which is a local one | 09:55 |
| zetheroo | satya: yeah .. I don't really want to know ;) | 09:55 |

| zamba | rumpe1: i know this is possible with ssh | 09:56 |
| zamba | rumpe1: and tunneling | 09:56 |
| satya | <zetheroo> clients could not connect with the hostname, but connected with the ip | 09:56 |
| zetheroo | satya: ok ... your just being bothersome now | 09:57 |
| llutz_ | zamba: google for reverse-ssh tunnel | 09:57 |
| rumpe1 | zamba, sure... tunnel to the host with the public ip or its forwarded port | 09:57 |
| zamba | llutz_: thanks | 09:57 |
| llutz_ | zamba: thats what you need if you can connect TO a site, just make it reverse | 09:57 |
| zamba | llutz_: hm.. | 09:58 |
| llutz_ | can't | 09:58 |
| zamba | llutz_: i think i have to rephrase my question | 09:58 |
| LinSteveH | Has anyone else had NFS problems, when updating to Meerkat(10.10)? | 09:58 |
| zamba | i have access to a computer that's inside a network, through a forwarded port 22.. that way i can connect to the public ip of the host which gets me on the inside (192.168.2.9).. now i want to access the web gui of the router, which is at 192.168.2.1, through this ssh tunnel.. is that possible? | 09:59 |
| gaelfx | zamba: generally, SSH and GUI don't go together | 10:00 |
| notroot | how do you forward to port 22 | 10:00 |
| zamba | notroot: DNAT | 10:00 |
| zamba | gaelfx: err | 10:00 |
| notroot | tnx | 10:00 |
| zamba | gaelfx: this is a tunnel | 10:00 |
| kisuke | gaelfx: x11 forwarding... | 10:01 |
| gaelfx | notroot: you set up the router to forward all traffic on the port 22 to a specific IP address of a computer connected to a router | 10:01 |
| rumpe1 | zamba, has 192.168.2.9 Gnome or something? then use ssh -X (or ssh -Y) and start webbrowser on .2.9 and enter router ip | 10:01 |
| gaelfx | zamba: well, can't you open up a browser then and navigate to the IP? | 10:02 |
| zamba | rumpe1: no xlibs | 10:02 |
| zamba | rumpe1: so no | 10:02 |
| llutz_ | zamba: create a tunnel with ssh -D 7070 (socks-proxy) to your server and access it from a local browser configured to use socks5 port 7070 localhost | 10:04 |

| ohzie | DHCP deamon, dhcp3-server | 10:07 |
| ohzie | jatt: not the client, the server | 10:08 |
| jatt | just run dhclient it will provide you with an ip address | 10:08 |
| ohzie | jatt: not the client, the server | 10:08 |

| Raphi974 | I juste made a new install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my new laptop (Asus G53) and I have no sound from the speakers. Headphones works. Any ideas ? | 10:11 |
| ohzie | I'm having an issue with dhcp3-server where a client requests an ip address, that request is logged in syslog, dhcp3-server performs a "DHCPOFFER" to that machine, and the client just sits there. It seems to never recieve the offer. I'm not sure if this is a client issue or a server issue. Does anyone have any tips to get me started troubleshooting? The client can recieve an address via dhcp from other dhcp servers. | 10:11 |
| llutz_ | ohzie: can you tcpdump on client to check if offer reaches the client? | 10:12 |
| Raphi974 | ohzie, if the server is a bit far from the client, maybe the offer is lost | 10:12 |
| ohzie | llutz_: windows client. :( I don't know how to tell. | 10:12 |
| kisuke | ohzie: you have athird machine? | 10:12 |
| Raphi974 | ohzie, increase the wait time of the client | 10:12 |
| AdvoWork | Hi there, the only way I can attach network files via firefox is going to /home/user/.gvfs/files on ip/location/location which works well. Can I make a shortcut to that somehow? I tried a launcher with custom location but that failed | 10:12 |
| jatt | ohzie: from the dhclient man page: http://codepad.org/WTk5aJA6 | 10:12 |
| ohzie | jatt: I'm not talking about dclient, but thank you. | 10:13 |

| robertzaccour | is there a list of computers that have been tested and guaranteed for Linux support, especially GPU? | 10:14 |
| ohzie | robertzaccour: It's different from computer to computer, but if you google the model number with "ubuntu" or "fedora" at the end of it, you can get a lot of personal reports from people trying that laptop. | 10:14 |
| ohzie | robertzaccour: It's a good place to start. | 10:14 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: you have been told approx 5 times now, stop asking | 10:15 |
| robertzaccour | ok thanks | 10:15 |

| jatt | chill out dude | 10:16 |
| wlcasey | yes and HP's fingerprints detectors | 10:16 |
| robertzaccour | yes, please chill | 10:16 |

| msr_ | I have a question aswell anyway | 10:30 |
| msr_ | I have installed ubuntu 10.10 on two different comps with the same soundcards | 10:30 |
| msr_ | on 1 it works out of the box | 10:30 |
| msr_ | on the other the realtek hda doesn't come o | 10:31 |

| Prinler | WOW xbmc is amazing | 10:31 |
| msr_ | I broke alsa completely while attempting to manually do stuff | 10:31 |
| AdvoWork | Starminn, basically the .gvfs list the network locations, going in that way I can attach network files, so if i goto that route I can see my files | 10:31 |
| msr_ | and now I'm reinstallig ubuntu and wondering if anyone has encountered the problem or this is a bug or something | 10:31 |
| msr_ | I should really try xbmc on my mediapc | 10:32 |

| Starminn | AdvoWork: Ah, hey, I was about to get offline (really late here). Sorry, but I'm sure somebody else can get you. :) Best of luck. | 10:32 |
| rtyuio | is it ease to changekernel ? | 10:32 |
| gaelfx | biji: yeah, but when you install sensors-applet initially, it tends to miss a tong of sensors, at least, it did when I installed it | 10:32 |
| msr_ | ppa is a repository? | 10:33 |
| tehbaut | spmccann: interesting, I'll check that out... thanks :) | 10:33 |
| biji | Yup probablu there is new driver for your soundcard | 10:33 |
| rtyuio | hello anyone there ? | 10:33 |
| rtyuio | is it easy to change the kernel ? | 10:33 |
| gaelfx | my sensors applet only has HDD and GPU temps, how can I get it to recheck for sensors? (I know my CPU and a couple other sensors should show up at least) | 10:33 |
| msr_ | that depends rtyuio | 10:33 |
| spmccann | hi rtyuio | 10:33 |
| rtyuio | i think i got a custom kernel | 10:33 |
| rtyuio | which means ? msr_ | 10:34 |
| msr_ | changing the kernel can be problemless or break everything depending on the changes between kernels | 10:34 |
| rtyuio | hi spmccann | 10:34 |
| biji | So easy using kernel-ppa | 10:34 |
| spmccann | rtyuio: step back and tell us the problem you are trying to solve | 10:34 |
| biji | Im on 10.4 using 2.6.38 kernel | 10:34 |
| rtyuio | well i can't able to install a package via apt spmccann | 10:34 |

| Jordan_U | Guest84602: Sorry, my mistake. That should have been "ffmpeg -i foo.flac foo.mp3" but that doesn't appear to be working on my end either :( | 11:00 |
| Belger | ahh ok i will try | 11:00 |
| Guest84602 | ok thanks | 11:01 |
| kingofthething | I made a live usb of ubu 10.10 earlier today for my first trial on linux | 11:01 |
| kingofthething | love it and want to dual boot my windows 7 | 11:01 |
| ikonia | kingofthething: ok, so what's the question ? | 11:01 |
| yourwhiteshadow | lol | 11:01 |
| Jordan_U | Guest84602: "ffmpeg -i foo.flac foo.wav" then "lame foo.wav foo.mp3" does work. | 11:01 |
| Guest84602 | thank! | 11:02 |
| kingofthething | i clicked install ubuntu on my live usb start up prompt, picked install along side and then i chose the partition | 11:02 |
| Jordan_U | Guest84602: You're welcome. | 11:02 |
| ikonia | kingofthething: what's the question | 11:02 |
| yourwhiteshadow | kingofthething: yeah it happened to me the other day, it partitions, but doesn't format, just format it to exf4 | 11:02 |
| kingofthething | the installer crashed during it and now that partition that was created is still there | 11:02 |
| Belger | wow now can i read the letters but the WM reset is already there... I want to try to compile a via driver made for ubuntu 9.04 | 11:02 |
| ikonia | kingofthething: ok, so what's the question | 11:03 |
| Symmetria | thanks llutz | 11:03 |
| kingofthething | i want to get rid of tht created partition and install ubuntu correctly this time | 11:03 |
| yourwhiteshadow | kingofthething: so you have to go to the advanced partitioner, and select the partition, it won't be formatted, so you have to choose a format, and then choose the boot directory, which should just be "/" | 11:03 |
| ikonia | kingofthething: ok, so at the partition time, select advanced and select the partitions you want to | 11:03 |
| Belger | kingoftheting: u can use the wubi installer ist the most easiest methot | 11:04 |
| kingofthething | i played with the advanced partitions menu a little bit but it didnt seem to get me anywhere | 11:04 |
| Guest84602 | Jordan_U: is it possible to set the programs up to auto convert an entire folder? | 11:04 |
| Belger | out from win7 | 11:04 |
| ikonia | Belger: that is not a dual boot situation, | 11:04 |
| Belger | ok | 11:04 |
| ikonia | kingofthething: you need to be specific "doesn't get me anywhere" doesn't mean anything, what is the problem | 11:04 |
| thangavel | here nobody is helping | 11:05 |
| ikonia | thangavel: you need to ask a question | 11:05 |
| yourwhiteshadow | kingofthething: can you click on the partition that you created, and choose a format | 11:05 |
| kingofthething | first of all I just want to get rid of the created partition then ill ask about getting into an actual dual boot | 11:05 |
| thangavel | help me to resolve this...Unable to exec g++.real: No such file or directory | 11:06 |
| ikonia | thangavel: that file does not exist on your system | 11:06 |
| yourwhiteshadow | kingofthething: why do you want to get rid of the partition now? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | thangavel: that is the problem, | 11:06 |
| spmccann | rtyuio: ok well thats interesting | 11:06 |
| kingofthething | well if i can use it that would be great | 11:06 |
| jatt | thangavel: install build-essential | 11:06 |
| spmccann | rtyuio: what vm manager are you using | 11:06 |
| kingofthething | \If i can use it for the dual boot then thats fine | 11:06 |
| yourwhiteshadow | kingofthething: you can...i'm telling you, this happened to me, i already know how to use the partition | 11:06 |
| thangavel | when i try to compile c++ programs using g++ i get this error | 11:06 |
| kingofthething | ok im sorry | 11:06 |
| zamba | anyone know how i can configure vino using gconftool2? | 11:07 |
| kingofthething | ok now i guess i need to ask how to get it to be an actual dual boot | 11:07 |
| yourwhiteshadow | kingofthething: do you remember seeing advanced partition during the install? | 11:08 |
| kingofthething | yes | 11:08 |
| erUSUL | thangavel: how did you installed g++? | 11:08 |
| _Fury | Hi. | 11:08 |
| jatt | build-essential is the answer | 11:08 |
| yourwhiteshadow | kingofthething: you need to go into the advanced partition, and tell me what you see | 11:08 |

| sacarlson | thangavel: what does whereis c++ show you? | 11:13 |
| bullgard | llutz_: But inodes and files are different things. Can you elaborate. | 11:13 |
| yourwhiteshadow | kingofthething: so basically for some reason the installer creates a partition, but it doesn't format it, so you need to get into the advanced partition in the installer, and then (right ?) click on your partition, you'll get an option to pick a format for it, i chose exfat4 (or exf4 or something), and then you have to choose a root directory, there are a bunch of options in the dropdown, choose "/" w/o the "", it'll format the pa | 11:13 |
| yourwhiteshadow | rtition and continue to install, Win 7 will say you need to run chckdsk for some reason, but for me there was no "corruption" so you can bypass that next time you go into win7 | 11:13 |
| thangavel | Depends: g++-4.4 (>= 4.4.1-1) but it is not going to be installed | 11:13 |

| yourwhiteshadow | that should be it i believe | 11:15 |
| jatt | !synaptic | 11:15 |
| ubottu | synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 11:15 |
| kingofthething | <yourwhiteshadow> ok i think i can follow that | 11:16 |
| Jordan_U | Guest84602: It's 3:00 AM for me so you might want to wait untill someone confirms this is sane, but : for flac in /path/to/directory/*.flv; do tmpwav=/tmp/"${flac##*/}"; mp3="${flac%flac}mp3"; ffmpeg -i "$flac" "$tmpwav"; lame "$tmpwav" "$mp3"; done | 11:16 |
| kingofthething | what do i do after that, how do I choose that partition and use it for the dual boot? | 11:16 |
| Wulfy | ianparkinson62, why are you posting that irc link? | 11:16 |
| llutz_ | bullgard: check with sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdb1 | grep "Inode count" | 11:16 |
| thangavel | i have opened synaptic..now what to do?? | 11:17 |
| jatt | use it | 11:17 |
| jatt | the howto is above | 11:17 |
| Jordan_U | Guybrush88: Change /path/to/directory/*.flv to /path/to/directory/*.flac | 11:18 |
| sacarlson | thangavel: I have g++ installed 4:4.4.3-1 on this system on 10.04 so it must be avalable | 11:18 |
| yourwhiteshadow | kingofthething: after that ubuntu will install into that partition, dual booting is taken care of because when your computer restarts after the installation there will be a bootloader GRUB 2 that allows you to choose between Ubuntu/Win7/whatever other OS | 11:18 |
| jatt | dude you are compiling a c++ program, no way synaptic is difficult for you :) | 11:18 |
| erUSUL | Jordan_U: can not ffmpeg convert directly to mp3 ? | 11:18 |
| sacarlson | thangavel: if you don't see g++ then try another repository miror site in synaptic | 11:19 |
| Jordan_U | erUSUL: I'm sure it can, I'm just too tired to figure out how at the moment. | 11:19 |
| kingofthething | ok thanks a lot, ill be back on if i have trouble but hopefully because it works and im running ubuntu | 11:19 |
| erUSUL | Jordan_U: for file in path/*.flv; do ffmpeg -i "$file" "${flac%.flv}".mp3; done | 11:20 |
| erUSUL | Jordan_U: btw you use *flv as the glov but then in pe you use flac ?? | 11:20 |
| Jordan_U | erUSUL: Doesn't work here. | 11:20 |
| erUSUL | Jordan_U:glob* | 11:20 |
| yourwhiteshadow | kingofthething: good luck, i'm gonna head to bed, but i'll still be on, feel free to PM me, hopefully you'll be on ubuntu, GL, and please message me if it worked too, makes me feel good that i could help | 11:20 |
| erUSUL | Jordan_U: i think you need medibuntu enabled for mp3 in ffmpeg to work | 11:21 |
| Jordan_U | erUSUL: Ahh, that's probably the problem on my end then. As for the incorrect glob I corrected myself about that already. | 11:21 |
| thangavel | g++ is not present in my synaptic monitor | 11:21 |
| ianparkinson62 | sorry for before. first time on irc. found channel i want | 11:22 |
| sacarlson | thangavel: did you try change repository mirror site in synaptic | 11:22 |
| thangavel | how to do that..sry if i'm irritating by asking simple questions | 11:22 |
| erUSUL | Jordan_U: you surelly need a rm "$tmpwav" somewhere in there the rest looks ok in a quick read | 11:23 |
| thangavel | how to change repository mirror site in synaptic?? | 11:24 |
| sacarlson | thangavel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu change the download from box | 11:24 |

| Jordan_U | erUSUL: Ineed, unfortunately Guest48825 already left :( | 11:25 |
| Wulfy | borgeshsmorg, you could tell your router to give your server a perminant internal ip | 11:26 |
| erUSUL | borgeshsmorg: you have to configure the router to do port forwarding on port 80 to your machine | 11:26 |
| erUSUL | Jordan_U: ahh ok | 11:26 |

| === dmart is now known as Guest1788 | ||
| llutz_ | bullgard: you can check with "sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdb1" for free Inodes too. the difference should be the first number given by fsck | 11:26 |
| Wulfy | borgeshsmorg, and then once you have setup a static ip for your server (via the router) you would then do port forwarding 80 and what ever other ports you wanted operning | 11:26 |
| thangavel | what do mean by "change the download from box?"..i'm in the site u had poseted..what to do now... | 11:26 |
| rumpe1 | bc81, with btrfs it's possible ... but btrfs is still experimental | 11:26 |
| erUSUL | borgeshsmorg: additionaly you may want to sign up for noip or dyndns to have a name ( http://myname.dyndns.com for example ) | 11:27 |
| borgeshsmorg | I see so set up the router for a Static address for the server even though the router is Dynamic. | 11:27 |
| bc81 | rumpe1: thanks, i'll chack that out :) | 11:27 |
| Wulfy | erusl borgeshsmorg or affraid.org (bigger range of dns options | 11:27 |
| ikonia | /last ikonia | 11:27 |
| ikonia | oops | 11:27 |
| rumpe1 | bc81, be aware, that there is still (?) no fsck.btrfs repair-tool... :/ | 11:28 |
| thangavel | what do mean by "change the download from box?"..i'm in the site u had poseted..what to do now... | 11:28 |
| Wulfy | borgeshsmorg, yes your external ip may be dynamic but if you tell your router to "save" the internal ip your server has now you can then setup port forwarding to that ip as your internal ip shouldnt change | 11:28 |
| thangavel | hello..plz direct me.. | 11:28 |
| borgeshsmorg | I am a bit familiar with dyndns and was curious about how and where in Linux to set up the settings. | 11:28 |
| ikonia | thangavel: what is the issue now ? | 11:28 |
| sacarlson | thangavel: see the box that says main server? change that to like japan | 11:29 |
| thangavel | in the web page?? | 11:29 |
| Wulfy | borgeshsmorg, affraid.org isnt any differnt in ease of use with regards to setup/use and most routers support it as much as dyndns | 11:29 |
| sacarlson | thangavel: yes in the webpage and in synaptic | 11:29 |
| ikonia | thangavel: what is the issue ? | 11:29 |

| karmic-koala | hi all, how do I make my processor fan spin constantly at max speed? | 11:30 |
| ikonia | karmic-koala: it depends if your bios supports the acpi interface to linux and has a controller program | 11:30 |
| yourwhiteshadow | karmic-koala: the easiest way would be to use your bios | 11:30 |
| thangavel | <ikonia> thanx for ur interest but that is a long story..sombody is already guiding me...once again thanx..if i need any help i'll seek... | 11:31 |
| bc81 | rumpe1: sounds promising, but i'll wait for more stability. too bad there's no simple way to undo updates yet..it seems too often that updates introduce new bugs. | 11:31 |
| Wulfy | karmic-koala, why not lot it regulate itself? | 11:31 |
| karmic-koala | currently i issue the command pwmconfig and press ctrl C when fans are at max speed | 11:31 |
| rumpe1 | bc81, afaik fedora (?) uses it to make snapshots before each update... and you can easily copy the snapshots to another partition for backup | 11:32 |
| rumpe1 | bc81, it really has some nice features and will be the linux-filesystem of the future (afaik) | 11:33 |
| bullgard | llutz_: The difference is identical to the first e2fsck output number. As you predicted. -- Thank you very much again for your help. | 11:33 |
| borgeshsmorg | Wulfy would I need to do the same with the router if I wanted to set up a private IRC daemon set up a STATIC address for the same server and asign a port number? | 11:33 |
| spmccann | bc81 try looking at this http://maketecheasier.com/backup-ubuntu-with-remastersys/2008/12/22 | 11:33 |
| shyguy1188 | hello, anyone tell me where is the sorce code of the gnome terminal in ubuntu 10.04 | 11:33 |
| karmic-koala | Wulfy, coz the fans don't spin half as fast and processor temp goes to 65+ degrees celcius if kept on automatic | 11:33 |
| karmic-koala | on full speed proc temp is around 30-35 | 11:34 |
| Wulfy | borgeshsmorg, you would use the same internal ip and simpley port forward to the irc dameon port so you would open 80,6667 (for example) | 11:34 |
| shyguy1188 | i want to see the source code of the gnome terminal | 11:35 |
| Wulfy | karmic-koala, fair enough | 11:35 |
| borgeshsmorg | I see. So using a Windows client such as I am using I would enter server.<ipaddress>.net | 11:35 |
| bc81 | spmccann: that looks really interesting, thanks | 11:35 |

| Bushman | how come? | 11:36 |
| Wulfy | borgeshsmorg, no you would use ip:6667 (unless you was using dyndns etc | 11:36 |
| thangavel | other options r server for uk,main server...which one to choose??? | 11:37 |
| kingofthething | yourwhiteshadow: the installer crashed again... | 11:37 |

| ikonia | thangavel: why do you want to change servers ? | 11:39 |
| Wulfy | borgeshsmorg, no unless you have a domain name such as one from dyndns you cant use server.ip.net:portnumber you have to use ip:port | 11:39 |
| kingofthething | yourwhiteshadow: thoughts on what i should do...? | 11:39 |
| shyguy1188 | anybody tell me the source code directory for gnome terminal | 11:39 |
| Bushman | i certainly have SATA drive in my laptop yet it is reported as PATA in Disk Utility. how come? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | shyguy1188: there isn't one, you have to download it | 11:39 |
| Smiley | herm, why does this package not exist in 10.10 #: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gosa&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all | 11:39 |
| iflema | shyguy1188 in a terminal apt-get source <packageName> no need for sudo, the source code will end up in same directory as the term is in... | 11:39 |
| borgeshsmorg | I see. On this client I can enter /server irc.freenode.net and log in here. | 11:39 |
| zlatan | hi to all..I have Ubuntu and Debian on my PC...I installed graphic driver on Ubuntu and now I get only screen with wallpaper-no panel,nothing..can I fix it from Debian? | 11:40 |
| ilea | sata/pata its a standard | 11:40 |
| thangavel | somebody told me that could be a reason for not being able to install gc++ in my system | 11:40 |
| ikonia | zlatan: how did you install the driver | 11:40 |
| ikonia | thangavel: they are wrong, the problem is not g++ is't the fact that the command you where doing wanted to find g++.real (note the .real) | 11:40 |
| zlatan | ikonia, through additional drivers | 11:41 |
| thangavel | so what to do now?? | 11:41 |
| borgeshsmorg | So I would enter: /server <ipaddress:6667> | 11:41 |
| shyguy1188 | ikonia, i want to study some package so that i can understand the working. can you tell me some package on which i can try some hands | 11:41 |
| ilea | why i can't send files or photos to someone else using pidgin and conected to yahoo messneger? | 11:41 |
| Wulfy | borgeshsmorg, that is because the domain irc.freenode.net translates into a ip as they have domain records set for it once you get a domaion name from afraid.org or dyndns you can then setup A records for your ip which will then translate into domain name > ip | 11:41 |
| kingofthething | alright looks like the guy who was helping me earlier might not be around...anybody else want to help me with my dual boot problem? | 11:41 |

| borgeshsmorg | I see. I was trying to make it a bit easier for people that I want to log into my server once set up. I also would like to set up chat web pages where others can talk in real time. I suppose a DNS daemon may help there too. | 11:42 |

| ikonia | bullgard: what does it say if you try to mount it | 11:55 |
| sacarlson | thangavel: but it does say but 4:4.3.3-1ubuntu1 is to be installed so I guess you do have c++ already installed | 11:56 |

| === SirNeo is now known as sirneo | ||
| brontosaurusrex | this was a pain, but i think i delleted all old outgoing stuff, also whats up with /etc/aliases ? i never had to setup that before | 11:57 |
| thangavel | <sacarison> i don't know sir.. | 11:57 |
| bullgard | ikonia: '~sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media' did not complain. But the Disk Mounter applet disappeared. | 11:58 |
| thangavel | <sacarison> sir as u said i changed the server to uk server..what to do now | 11:58 |
| ikonia | bullgard: sounds like a bug, log it | 11:58 |
| bullgard | ikonia: ok. | 11:58 |
| ikonia | thangavel: changing the server to the UK is pointless | 11:58 |
| sacarlson | ikonia: that was my idea, I thought he couldn't find a package that should exist | 11:59 |
| Bushman | i certainly have SATA drive in my laptop yet it is reported as PATA in Disk Utility. how come? | 12:00 |
| thangavel | <ikonia> mam etc/apt/sources.list pops up as a window..do want those snapshots??? | 12:00 |
| ikonia | Bushman: what makes you think it's reported as PATA ? | 12:00 |
| ikonia | thangavel: I want you to paste the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list into the pastebin | 12:01 |
| ikonia | thangavel: I also want you to run "sudo apt-get update" for me | 12:01 |
| sacarlson | thangavel: just update and see if it installs, but now you have some broken package so what's the fix for that? | 12:01 |
| Bushman | well, i can read, ya'know | 12:01 |
| ikonia | Bushman: ok, but what is it that makes you think it's pata | 12:01 |
| Bushman | it is reported to ME, the user | 12:01 |
| ikonia | Bushman: how, what is the wording | 12:01 |
| Bushman | let me quote | 12:01 |
| Bushman | Location: port 1 of PATA host adapter | 12:02 |
| thangavel | <sacarison> : yes it ofen says E: Broken packages whenever i try to install gc++ | 12:02 |
| ikonia | thangavel: I give in, if you refuse to do what I ask you to do, you're on your own | 12:02 |
| ikonia | Bushman: what make/model laptop is it ? | 12:03 |
| thangavel | <ikonia> sorry mam..i'm copying.. | 12:03 |

| codemagician | when i use my FAT32 formatted USB pen drive Ubuntu see's it as full. it has a hidden folder called .trash1000 with files inside. Does Ubuntu have a way to 'cleanup' the disk space or should I remove this folder? | 12:08 |
| ikonia | codemagician: for fat, I'd suggest you manually manage it | 12:08 |
| jrib | codemagician: I thought it was decided at some point that that should get emptied when you eject, but I could be wrong | 12:08 |
| overclucker | what is gc++? | 12:09 |
| codemagician | ikonia, so can i just remove the .trash1000 directory? | 12:09 |
| ikonia | thangavel: you have an ubuntu 9.10 CD in an ubuntu 9.04 machine, it will cause a conflict | 12:09 |
| jrib | overclucker: he means g++ but keeps saying gc++ for some reason I think | 12:09 |
| codemagician | ikonia, it has .trash1000/files .trash1000/info | 12:09 |
| ikonia | overclucker: he means g++ | 12:09 |
| overclucker | ah ok | 12:09 |
| codemagician | ikonia, im using Windows XP wrote these | 12:09 |
| overclucker | and he's tried installing build-essential? | 12:09 |
| thangavel | <ikonia> : what to do now mam?? | 12:10 |
| codemagician | ikonia, and that this method is Windows XP specific? | 12:10 |
| jrib | overclucker: ask him, he's all yours :) | 12:10 |
| keastes | is there a list of wifi adapters the works as of 10.10? | 12:10 |
| sacarlson | thangavel: well then close synaptic and try sudo apt-get install -f | 12:10 |
| Djlbert | how can I get the proper drivers for my intel mobile graphics for ubuntu maverick | 12:10 |
| codemagician | jrib, did you mean Ubuntu will empty it? | 12:10 |
| Djlbert | or are they already included? | 12:11 |
| thangavel | <sacarison> : ya right now i'm running that sir... | 12:11 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: look at his source.list it has conflicting 9.10 and 9.04 repos | 12:11 |
| jrib | codemagician: check and see. I think I remember something like that, but am not sure | 12:11 |
| sacarlson | ikonia: ok cool I'll look closer | 12:11 |
| overclucker | thangavel: have you installed build-essential package? | 12:11 |
| ikonia | overclucker: styop | 12:11 |
| codemagician | jrib, yes sir. it prompted and knew about this directory | 12:11 |
| ikonia | overclucker: stop | 12:11 |
| ikonia | overclucker: look at his sources.list it has conflicting packages, stop telling people to do things blind | 12:11 |
| jrib | codemagician: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/12893 if you like history | 12:12 |
| codemagician | jrib, so does seem like Ubuntu uses this hidden directory | 12:12 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 12893 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "Shouldn't put .Trash-$USER on removable devices" [Low,Triaged] | 12:12 |
| Djlbert | like how does it have the proper drivers for my computer alreasy (maverick) | 12:12 |

| jrib | codemagician: yeah, if you delete things from the usb, they go in there | 12:12 |
| ikonia | malama_: why don't support pinguy here, only ubuntu | 12:12 |
| Djlbert | this is ubuntu | 12:12 |
| thangavel | <ikonia> : mam right now i'm running update command as u said.. | 12:13 |
| malama_ | Djlbert: yea its based on ubuntu | 12:13 |
| codemagician | jrib, aha.. that's okay then. I will not delete it and let the OS take care of it when I eject. I'll take a read of that article | 12:13 |
| codemagician | jrib, thanks | 12:13 |
| ikonia | malama_: we don't support it here, only ubuntu | 12:13 |
| overclucker | ah, i see | 12:13 |
| ikonia | thangavel: you have conflicting repos you have a 9.10 CD in | 12:13 |
| === eastesk is now known as kisuke | ||
| Djlbert | I installed ubuntu (maverick) on my acer aspire 5735 now everything works but how do I know its the most up to date drivers? I just dont understand that | 12:14 |
| malama_ | ikonia: do would you recommend were i can get help | 12:14 |
| ikonia | Djlbert: if there are more up to date packages, it will offer them to you | 12:14 |
| ikonia | malama_: no idea | 12:14 |
| sacarlson | ikonia: I see it has a cdrom of karmic and all else is jaunty for thangavel, so if he just comments out that line and update it might work? | 12:14 |
| kisuke | Djlbert: they may not be, but they are usually proven to work | 12:14 |
| Djlbert | wherwe | 12:14 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: depends if it's installed things from the CD, in which case his system is in conflict and broke | 12:14 |
| thangavel | <ikonia> : do i need that cd now mam?? if so,then i have with me mam | 12:14 |
| Djlbert | what would I do to check | 12:15 |
| ikonia | Djlbert: nothing, it will offer them to you if they exist | 12:15 |
| protonbart | what is needed for .PNG to be supported in Ubuntu? | 12:15 |
| Djlbert | ok because I just am not sure if my screen can set to the highest resolution | 12:15 |
| protonbart | the transparency wont work | 12:15 |
| jrib | protonbart: how are you determining this? | 12:15 |
| protonbart | well it works on one ubuntu 9.04 machine, and then on another less updated it doesnt | 12:16 |
| jrib | protonbart: how are you determining this? | 12:16 |
| sacarlson | ikonia: thangavel: ya I think your right it's probly hosed, I'm not sure how to fix it without a reinstall | 12:16 |
| protonbart | jrib: well it works on one ubuntu 9.04 machine, and then on another less updated it doesnt | 12:16 |
| ikonia | sacarlson: that's the best position to take for this level of mix up | 12:16 |
| sacarlson | thangavel: yup reinstall time | 12:16 |
| jrib | protonbart: right, see I repeated my question because that's not an answer to it. Anyway, I'll ask a different one and we can come back. How old is this ubuntu? | 12:16 |
| protonbart | 9.04 | 12:17 |
| Djlbert | ok it seems everything is great | 12:17 |
| jrib | protonbart: 9.04 isn't support anymore anyway, you should upgrade | 12:17 |
| jrib | !9.04 | protonbart | 12:17 |
| ubottu | protonbart: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 12:17 |
| jrib | s/support/supported | 12:17 |

| chouchou | keastes, can you please brief me a little about it/? or a link to where I can set it? | 12:20 |
| thangavel | <sacarison> : whether this was bcoz of my machine or my fault of not updating it when it asked.. | 12:21 |

| ikonia | ohzie: look on the client logs and setup, if the offer is getting sent out, it's the client | 12:30 |
| kingofthething | if i already have an ext4 partition made on my computer, will wubi allow me to choose it? | 12:30 |
| ikonia | kingofthething: yes | 12:30 |
| Djlbert | I cant set the keys in desume to my xbox controller | 12:30 |
| kingofthething | thanks | 12:30 |
| ikonia | Djlbert: you've said 10 times now, we get it | 12:30 |
| Djlbert | hmm | 12:30 |
| medfly | I am searching through this mirror to find the amd64 download. it was hard to find the link on the website. | 12:30 |
| medfly | thanks | 12:30 |
| Djlbert | I guess ill never beable to fix it then ive looked everywhere | 12:31 |
| Djlbert | this is probably th eonly thing windows is better for | 12:31 |
| ikonia | Djlbert: you've waited about 5 minutes for a response, if you wnat to give up now, that's fine by me | 12:31 |
| Djlbert | no I wont | 12:31 |
| medfly | Djlbert: it's extremely easy to map keyboard buttons on linux | 12:31 |
| === Hexadecimal is now known as BinaryBLob | ||
| Djlbert | how though | 12:31 |
| medfly | Djlbert: you don't need a special program for it | 12:31 |
| === BinaryBLob is now known as BinaryBlob | ||
| ikonia | medfly: it's for an xbox controller | 12:32 |
| Djlbert | like I want to use my xbox controller as a keyboard | 12:32 |
| keastes | is there a list of wifi adapters the works as of 10.10? | 12:32 |
| Djlbert | is that easy? | 12:32 |
| medfly | never used one of those :/ | 12:32 |
| erUSUL | !hcl | keastes | 12:32 |
| ubottu | keastes: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 12:32 |
| ikonia | Djlbert: no | 12:32 |
| erUSUL | keastes: linuxwireless.org | 12:32 |
| Djlbert | its just a usb gamepad basically | 12:32 |
| medfly | I've actually begun having more trouble using windows than ubuntu. I shove in my wireless USB stick. "I can't seem to find a driver for this" - worked out of the box on ubuntu | 12:32 |
| medfly | ^^ | 12:32 |
| keastes | erUSUL: that usually works, but ive got a wireless card thats gone crazy as of 10.10 | 12:33 |
| medfly | http://www.xboxscene.com/articles/controller-linux.php | 12:33 |
| ohzie | ikonia: That was my initial belief as well, but I've seen it happen on three clients now | 12:33 |
| TuGa | hi | 12:33 |
| th0r | Djlbert: research the xmodmap file in linux | 12:33 |
| Djlbert | k | 12:33 |
| ohzie | ikonia: and when I turn off dhcp3-server and start the dhcp service on the windows machine, the clients pull IPs fine. | 12:34 |
| TuGa | i want to disable cupsd from starting at boot, how can i do this? | 12:34 |
| ikonia | ohzie: ahh, are these part of a windows domain ? | 12:34 |
| ohzie | OH WOW okay I just made headway | 12:34 |
| thangavel | how to search for a channel here?? | 12:34 |
| medfly | Djlbert: check out my link, it seems to be specific for it. I can't vouch for its credibility, though. | 12:34 |
| ohzie | I got a client to pick up an ip, a windows XP client | 12:35 |
| ikonia | thangavel: look on www.freenode.net for usage | 12:35 |
| ohzie | and it says its dhcp server is " | 12:35 |
| ohzie | "127.0.1.1" <-- | 12:35 |
| thangavel | <ikonia> :once again thanx. | 12:35 |
| Djlbert | th0r probalem is finding out the values for the xbox controller buttons | 12:35 |
| Djlbert | otherwise that would seemingly be very easy to do | 12:36 |
| ohzie | This is weird. | 12:36 |
| Djlbert | with xmodmap | 12:36 |
| ohzie | ( ;_;) | 12:36 |
| ilea | hi all | 12:36 |
| th0r | Djlbert: there is a program for that, but I don't recall what it is. You run it and when you press a button it returns the keycode | 12:36 |
| Djlbert | yeah thats exactly what I need | 12:36 |
| medfly | there's no netbook amd64 thing? odd. | 12:37 |
| ikonia | medfly: 32bit processors | 12:37 |
| ilea | can someone tell me whi i can't send files with pidgin when i am loged on yahoo messenger | 12:37 |
| dagon666 | did anyone successfully configured .htaccess password authentication on ubuntu for gitweb ? | 12:37 |
| ikonia | ilea: not supported | 12:37 |
| medfly | ikonia: ya, I know. I just happen to have a 64bit processor | 12:37 |
| th0r | Djlbert: a simple search would solve your issue http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=keycodes+for+linux | 12:37 |
| dagon666 | or any other cgi script ? | 12:37 |
| ikonia | medfly: that's why it doesn't exist though | 12:37 |
| Djlbert | thanks | 12:37 |
| medfly | ikonia: I don't understand :S | 12:37 |
| ilea | there is a chat app that suports sending files? | 12:37 |

| Djlbert | how can i get xev to monitor js0 | 12:40 |
| juk | i heard i can help in developing of nouveau by running something and submitting dumps, is it true? | 12:40 |
| bazhang | ^Phantom^, dont spam here | 12:41 |
| ohzie | ikonia: They are part of a windows domain, yes | 12:41 |
| ^Phantom^ | Eep. | 12:42 |
| ^Phantom^ | I thought I was still in OT | 12:42 |
| medfly | what's on the nebook version anyway? just a different window manager configuration? | 12:42 |
| ohzie | ikonia: what could cause a client to think its dhcp server is 127.0.1.1 when it is not that at all? | 12:42 |
| ^Phantom^ | sorry | 12:42 |
| ikonia | ohzie: ask the guys in ##windows, however I do know there can be problems with windows machines not accepting DHCP offers from servers that are non-members of the windows domain | 12:43 |
| juk | what is Mod4+P i don't have any binds in shortcuts | 12:45 |
| sacarlson | ohzie: maybe your local ubuntu is running the dhcpd ? | 12:45 |
| Djlbert | th0r when I press buttons on my xbox controller nothing comes up in xev | 12:45 |
| Djlbert | but it works for my mouse and keys lol | 12:45 |
| ohzie | sacarlson: What? | 12:45 |
| juk | it flicks my screen | 12:46 |
| io | juk: Switch display. | 12:46 |
| sacarlson | ohzie: that's one of the localhost ip | 12:46 |
| juk | io: ah | 12:46 |
| ohzie | sacarlson: The client that's getting that as its dhcp server is not running the dhcp server. It is a windows xp client. the dhcp server is 192.168.1.20 | 12:46 |
| io | juk: It can be disabled using gconf by setting /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/xrandr/active to false. | 12:47 |
| Dolphin_Boy | hy | 12:47 |
| Djlbert | well thanks for the help hopefully i figure this out | 12:47 |
| Djlbert | bbl | 12:47 |
| Djlbert | pm me if you find a solution while I am gone if you dont mind | 12:47 |
| sacarlson | ohzie: oh must be a windows thing then, try dhclient from a linux system to verify | 12:48 |

| kisuke | !PB | 13:02 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 13:02 |
| newbie_001 | how do i add a directory to environment PATH permanently? i have tried 'PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:' as both user and su but it only lasts for the current terminal session | 13:02 |
| swazzy | how do i stop the appearance window from popping up on future boots? it happen every time i login. | 13:02 |
| Fshy | I installed fglrx, but I get a "X Error of Failed Request: BadRequest... blah blah blah" error whenever I try to do anything like config the catalyst panel. | 13:02 |

| newbie_001 | no i will try and get back | 13:03 |
| sbaumgar | sorry i am a noob, what shall i do? | 13:03 |
| Fshy | Hm... | 13:04 |
| Fshy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/567299/ is the full thing. | 13:04 |
| sbaumgar | did it | 13:04 |
| kisuke | sbaumgar: runn the command i gave you in the quotes, highlight the output and push ctrl+shift+C and paste it at paste.ubuntu.org, then post the link here | 13:04 |
| Fshy | If I try fglrxinfo | 13:04 |
| newbie_001 | tried export still only temporary | 13:05 |
| sbaumgar | omg, watch the message: An error has occurred in the Pastebin software. Please notify the administrators. | 13:05 |
| jrib | newbie_001: edit your ~/.profile (use the example there with ~/bin as a guide) | 13:05 |
| kisuke | sbaumgar: reload the page | 13:05 |
| sbaumgar | http://paste.ubuntu.com/567300/ | 13:06 |
| jrib | newbie_001: and if you are trying to add ~/bin then ~/.profile already does that. (you just need to log out and back in) | 13:06 |
| newbie_001 | jrib ok will try | 13:06 |
| jrib | newbie_001: (after creating ~/bin that is) | 13:06 |

| guitar431 | how can i transfer files from on ubuntu computer to another ubuntu computer? | 13:07 |
| guitar431 | one | 13:07 |
| sbaumgar | all i did was to plug in the mouse | 13:08 |
| ucenik31 | citas? | 13:08 |
| kisuke | guitar431: there is ubuntus cloud for one, dropbox, e-mail, (s)FTP, sneakernet. | 13:08 |
| sbaumgar | i never installed something | 13:08 |
| ucenik31 | #stefan | 13:09 |
| kisuke | sbaumgar: no the built in profile for that mouse is borked | 13:09 |
| io | guitar431: A number of ways, preferably I'd use SFTP if they're networked. | 13:09 |
| sbaumgar | okay, you know how to fix it? | 13:09 |
| Fshy | So can anyone give me a hand with my video card issues? | 13:10 |
| borgeshsmorg | Guitar431 if you set up both computers to log into the IRC you can DCC send data to the other computer. | 13:10 |
| io | Fshy: What issues? | 13:10 |
| dustin | how do i make a file it treminal? | 13:11 |
| ikonia | dustin: touch$filename | 13:11 |
| ikonia | dustin: touch $filename | 13:11 |
| guitar431 | lol thanks borgeshmorg | 13:12 |
| kisuke | sbaumgar: not off the top of my head, just out of curiosty can you unplug the mouse run "lsusb > ~/lsusb.txt" plug the mouse back in run "lsusb > ~/lsusb1.txt" and then "cd ~ && diff lsusb.txt lsusb1.txt" | 13:12 |
| sbaumgar | will do | 13:12 |
| juk | is there another way to transfer files other than sftp (6Mb/s higher)? | 13:12 |
| juk | wired | 13:12 |
| Fshy | io: I installed fglrx, but it seems that a lot of graphics stuff got borked after that. | 13:12 |
| Fshy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/567299/ | 13:12 |
| Fshy | That's what I get for doing anything, like fglrxinfo | 13:12 |
| kisuke | sbaumgar: also, you can type the first couple letters of someone's nick then hit tab and the name will auto complete and ping the person you were talking to | 13:13 |
| Pici | juk: netcat would be a low-level way of doing it. See http://oreilly.com/pub/h/1058 | 13:14 |
| Fshy | So all in all, I got nothing. I looked up a few things and found.....nothing that really helped me. | 13:14 |
| red | I just recently stumbled upon an article showcasing some nice ubuntu themes (and an app that handled it I think), now I cant find it anywhere meh | 13:14 |

| dustin | http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_set_up_Wake-On-Lan_(Ubuntu) am i doing this right ? | 13:14 |

| sbaumgar | kisuke, i've now 2 textfiles | 13:14 |
| borgeshsmorg | Guitar431 do you play the guitar? I play lead and blues guitar and more. | 13:14 |
| kisuke | sbaumgar: what did the last command out put? | 13:15 |
| sbaumgar | nothing | 13:15 |
| kisuke | sbaumgar: you had the mouse pluged in durring one and not the other right? | 13:15 |
| sbaumgar | correct | 13:15 |
| juk | Pici: ah, thanks, yeah i was thinking sftp wastes trafic on crypting, when security isn't issue | 13:15 |
| sbaumgar | kisuke, the led was blinking and now it is off again | 13:16 |
| kisuke | sbaumgar: ok now im lost, and im fried enough for lack of sleep that im not gonna be much good, good luck | 13:16 |

| ubottu | KGBWolf: 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 | 13:45 |

| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, yeah , I tried that , no luck | 13:50 |
| jrib | Blorg28: update-manager will reinstall it on upgrades I think. It's safe to remove but you should have it installed on upgrades | 13:50 |
| Blorg28 | jrib: ok. mmm.. I'm trying to remove cups, and it want to remove ubuntu-desktop too :/ | 13:50 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, like I said there's no way to open it ..it just errors out | 13:50 |

| BluesKaj | jrib, ActionParsnip I even tried to rm -rf , but that doesn't work | 13:52 |

| === shubbar_ is now known as shubbar | ||
| deno | Can you tell me what could happen if I remove the swap partition? will my linux system boot? | 14:23 |
| ikonia | deno: should do | 14:23 |
| vooze | llutz, no respons to that command | 14:23 |
| jatt | deno: nothing | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | deno: yes, as long as it's not referenced in fstab | 14:23 |
| michael138 | actionparsnip:what | 14:23 |
| llutz | vooze: no reply = goog news, "ifconfig -a" | 14:24 |
| deno | uhm | 14:24 |
| llutz | good* | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | !nick | michael138 | 14:24 |
| ubottu | michael138: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. | 14:24 |
| deno | and what if I create another partition | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | michael138: meant to trigger that from ubuntu | 14:24 |
| deno | another swap partition I mean | 14:24 |
| ikonia | deno: nothing | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | deno: that's fine | 14:24 |
| deno | will my system recognize it automatically? | 14:24 |
| ikonia | deno: if you put it in your fstab, yes | 14:24 |
| deno | uhm | 14:24 |
| deno | so have I to do it before the boot right' | 14:24 |
| deno | ? | 14:24 |
| llutz | deno: automatically? no | 14:24 |
| ikonia | deno: or just do a swapon /dev/partition | 14:25 |

| ikonia | deno: post boot | 14:25 |
| michael138 | wow did it work | 14:25 |
| michael138 | nope | 14:25 |
| deno | ok | 14:25 |
| deno | better to add it in the fstab | 14:25 |
| deno | thank you guys | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | deno: either way is fine, just remember to use swapoff or the partition will be in use if you do it before the reboot | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | deno: technically, you don't have to reboot at all | 14:26 |
| deno | ok | 14:26 |
| deno | cool | 14:26 |

| vooze | llutz, here is paste: http://pastebin.com/hRL23qN7 | 14:26 |
| Wulfy | hey action whats with having to reboot after a upgrade now days, used to be linux was the rebootless master | 14:26 |
| llutz | vooze: eth0 should be your wired-nic. does it show up now in networkmanager? | 14:27 |
| KGBWolf | is port 443 used by ubuntu 10.04 LTS server for anything because it says it is used by another app? | 14:27 |
| erUSUL | KGBWolf: 443 is https iirc ? | 14:28 |
| vooze | llutz, its right over the wireless, but it just says "not connected" and when i plug the cable in, nothing happens | 14:28 |
| llutz | KGBWolf: netstat -tulpen |grep 443 | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Wulfy: new kernels are the only real reason to reboot, you can use ksplice to prevent that | 14:28 |
| Wulfy | ActionParsnip, yeah seen that but not tried yet been considering deploying it on some vps nodes | 14:28 |
| NoNaMeNo | how can I create an xorg.conf from the xorg autodetection? | 14:28 |
| llutz | vooze: but you are sure, the cable is OK? | 14:28 |
| vooze | llutz, yeah, works perfect in my boxee mediecenter | 14:29 |
| erUSUL | NoNaMeNo: « sudo Xorg -configure :1 » | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Wulfy: ksplice will (as far I know) change the bits of the kernel in RAM which need changing, so no reboot is needed | 14:29 |
| Wulfy | ActionParsnip, any downsides? | 14:30 |
| llutz | vooze: "sudo apt-get install ethtool" and then check "sudo ethtool eth0|grep Link" with cable attached | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Wulfy: not that I know of | 14:30 |
| zoel | help me, i already have mysql, apache2, phpmyadmin. but when i go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin , i doesn't work | 14:30 |
| Wulfy | ActionParsnip, seems odd its not included by default in os's now days if it has such benifits as 0 reboots | 14:30 |
| serard | Hello, is there any truetype font installed on ubuntu 10.10 ? | 14:31 |
| memoryleak | zoel, error message? result? | 14:31 |
| zhoste | yay i | 14:31 |
| memoryleak | Doesn't work could mean anything | 14:31 |
| zoel | memoryleak, i'm using firefox, it's show pop up save/download to ... | 14:32 |
| zhoste | yay i'm remotely accessing my computer's terminal through my android phone. :) | 14:32 |
| serard | Where are fonts stored on ubuntu 10.10 ? please :) | 14:32 |
| vooze_ | llutz, back again.. i got it "blinking" now | 14:33 |
| vooze_ | but there is no internet from it | 14:33 |
| memoryleak | " i already have mysql, apache2, phpmyadmin" - what about PHP? | 14:33 |
| llutz | vooze_: you have a router/dhcp-server running? | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Wulfy: i guess because the user has to check for the new kernel, then updates. This could easily be scripted though | 14:33 |
| vooze_ | llutz, yes | 14:33 |
| vooze_ | works fine with wireless.. and the cable works in my mediecenter just fine | 14:33 |
| llutz | vooze_: "sudo dhclient eth0" | 14:33 |
| Wulfy | ActionParsnip, indeed | 14:34 |
| llutz | vooze_: you might need to disconnect wifi before | 14:34 |
| vooze_ | llutz, okay, be right back :D | 14:35 |
| Zoffix_ | Hey. I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and I notice that my windows are going UNDER the panel; it's especially troublesome when the panel is on the right, as window scrollbars become hidden. In my old version, maximizing windows would align them to the panel, not window edges. I tried googling around, but haven't found an answer. Any idea how I can fix this, please? | 14:35 |
| zoel | memoryleak, i'm also using apache2triad in windows, when i goto http://localhost/phpmyadmin its show username & password window | 14:35 |
| KGBWolf | nothing is resturn when i do netstat 443 | 14:35 |
| * BluesKaj doesn't understand the reboot fear that's out there nowadays for home computers ,workplace servers are a different story of course | 14:36 | |
| memoryleak | zoel: what does apt-get install php return? | 14:36 |
| memoryleak | Either you didn't installed php or it isn't configured as handler for php files | 14:36 |
| llutz | KGBWolf: what do you want to do, what fails, what errors? | 14:36 |
| deddyotz | hi | 14:37 |
| KGBWolf | llutz running a shell says port 443 is in use i want to terminate whatever is using 443 permanately | 14:37 |
| Wulfy | BluesKaj, this is why i mentioed i may be deploying it on some vps hardware nodes, end users really hate it when there vps's go down | 14:37 |
| zoel | Zoffix_:make a new username .. | 14:37 |
| llutz | KGBWolf: sudo lsof -i :443 | 14:37 |
| Zoffix_ | zoel, and that's it? Is it some kind of a bug? | 14:38 |
| vooze | llutz, damn you rock:D it all works now | 14:38 |
| Zoffix_ | zoel, Or are you talking about on IRC :) ? | 14:38 |
| vooze | llutz, if i may ask.. what did that command do? sudo modprobe r8169 | 14:38 |
| llutz | vooze: check after reboot "lsmod|grep 8169" if the module was loaded. if NOT, add it to /etc/modules | 14:39 |
| llutz | vooze: it just loads the nics kernel-driver manually | 14:39 |
| BluesKaj | Wulfy, , understood | 14:39 |
| zgr | hi all! my friend has samsung rv408 laptop with maverick on it, in gdm touchpad works but after login don't; how to fix that? Disabling touchpad with gconftool don't worked | 14:39 |
| vooze | llutz, okay, i'll just do a quick reboot now to be sure :) brb | 14:39 |
| llutz | vooze: which should have been done automatically. so you might force it, with /etc/modules: just one line "r8169" | 14:40 |
| KGBWolf | llutz port 443 is still in use | 14:40 |

| ikonia | bullgard: if it's a bug, it needs fixing, so keeping asking in here won't fix the bug | 14:49 |
| bullgard | ikonia: I see your point. | 14:50 |
| sacarlson | bullgard: so there is no work around to mount it at all? | 14:51 |
| ikonia | there is a work around, it mounts fine manually | 14:51 |
| ikonia | it appears to just be a bug with the applet | 14:51 |
| sacarlson | bullgard: ikonia: there problem solved, make a script to do it and make botton to run the script | 14:52 |
| bullgard | sacarlson: So far the only workaround that I have found is that I can mount it using the command-line command 'mount'. | 14:52 |
| basy | For example i have [sudo apt-get ] typed in console and now i double-hit TAB and bash offers "clean, install, update, ..." options.... How to setup setup this behavior fo my script? [when i have typed my_script i want bash to offer my deffined options] | 14:52 |

| sacarlson | bullgard: you can add scripts to nautilus, so if you want it done write do it yourself | 14:53 |

| Wulfy | robuust use realvnc | 14:56 |
| Zoffix_ | robust, yup, realvnc is what you want for your Windows computer. There you'll need to install the server. | 14:56 |
| compdoc | robust, I think vnc4server for ubuntu is best, and ultravnc client on windows | 14:56 |

| compdoc | robust, vnc4server includes a program named vncconfig that you run to enable clipboard xfers | 14:58 |

| compdoc | robust, vino requires that someone is logged on already. vncserver doesnt require that anyone is logged in | 15:02 |
| juk | thenoob: /etc/nanorc | 15:02 |
| thenoob | ty | 15:02 |

| robust | jatt: big father for my kids, i'd say | 15:02 |
| juk | thenoob: np | 15:02 |
| llutz | KGBWolf: you need to be root to do that | 15:02 |

| PhonicUK | ActionParsnip, resolving hostnames isn't the issue | 15:21 |
| sacarlson | PhonicUK: but you do have an ssh to your remote server? does the system you remote from have access to the internet? if so you could maybe setup a tunnel to get network into apt-get or install with atoncd | 15:21 |
| juk | TuGa: did you take a look at tutorial blog i linked you? | 15:21 |
| bastidrazor | TuGa: sudo mv /etc/init.d/cups /etc/init.d/cups-disabled ..that will stop it from starting. | 15:21 |

| PhonicUK | good question | 15:26 |
| PhonicUK | i can't actually tell what's wrong | 15:27 |
| llutz | TuGa: doesn't all that only refer to sysV-init? disable cups-start in /etc/init/cups (upstart) | 15:27 |
| PhonicUK | i've switched the VM from NAT to Bridged networking | 15:27 |
| PhonicUK | that may have been a bad idea | 15:27 |
| Seppman | it really pisses me off with this low sound :-( | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip | PhonicUK: try the host file addition, see if it flys, you can always take it back out if its no good | 15:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Seppman: please keep it family friendly | 15:27 |
| sacarlson | PhonicUK: well can you wget the file? or change the repository | 15:27 |
| compdoc | I use bridges, but I had to set a 2nd nic to be the bridge | 15:27 |

| PhonicUK | it looks like its a vmware networking issue, i should probably go ask those guys | 15:32 |
| sacarlson | PhonicUK: you not vmware nat any more now your bridged it should match what your host uses | 15:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pmccand: go to the site, paste the text to pastebin, then when the page changes, copy the new address and paste it here | 15:32 |
| Landstalker | it appears to not find them, but if I manually run it using one from the list, it works | 15:32 |
| PhonicUK | when i used bridged it failed entirely | 15:33 |
| PhonicUK | couldn't resolve or ping anything | 15:33 |

| ActionParsnip | sre-su: you will need a decent sized partition to spit the image to, partimage can also compress the data | 15:56 |
| rany27 | I keep seeing firefox-bin when running ''top'' command after I shut down firefox. Why is that? | 15:56 |

| ActionParsnip | sre-su: what are you backing up then? | 16:14 |
| jatt | apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop | 16:14 |
| TuGa | jrib, to close the port 631 cupsd | 16:15 |

| jrib | TuGa: you want to stop cupsd from running? | 16:15 |

| jrib | TuGa: cupsd is started by an upstart job. Edit /etc/init/cups.conf and add "never" as a starting condition | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | sre-su: if you want an image of sdb you can use dd and make a 1-to-1 size image | 16:16 |

| Fish-Face | Hello, all - I'm now trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, but either 'checking' in update-manager or executing do-release-upgrade implies that there is no new release available. What could be causing this? | 16:20 |
| danub | ahh, thought it was -, or --, or " | 16:20 |
| e1ven | I'm using 10.04.1 and trying to mount a NFS share and read/write as root. I have no_squash_root enabled in /etc/exports on the server.. But the clients are only reading/writing as nobody.. Can anyone advise what I should look at? | 16:20 |
| mtkorb | Sorry, I ran "iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE" to fix it. | 16:20 |
| danub | marvelous. ty jrib ajf | 16:21 |
| Fish-Face | One thought I had is that I probably ignored the new release at some point since I didn't want to install it when it came out - is it possible that this is interfering? | 16:21 |
| sre-su | danub: Do you know which repo is required to be added for patimage for lucid? | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Fish-Face: did you edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to read: Prompt=normal | 16:21 |
| sre-su | ActionParsnip: dd will take up space.. more than what partimage would take.. It requires exact partion size | 16:21 |
| ajf | Now, a quick question. What does apt mean when it says "the following packages have been kept back:"? | 16:21 |
| Fish-Face | I haven't manually edited that file, ActionParsnip - I'll check it | 16:21 |
| jpds | ajf: It cannot upgrade those packages for reasons. | 16:22 |
| Fish-Face | ah, no, it's Prompt=lts | 16:22 |
| BluesKaj | Fish-Face, have installed any nondefault apps by adding ppas , if so , either comment them oe remove them in your sources.list | 16:22 |
| danub | sre-su: when you did your !info, i thought it referenced a repo | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Fish-Face: if you don't then your OS will only upgrade to LTS releases | 16:22 |
| jpds | ajf: Although, newer versions are available. | 16:22 |
| ajf | jpds: Is it a bad thing that mountall is kept back? | 16:22 |
| Fish-Face | yeah, that's weird, ActionParsnip - I upgraded to 10.04 from a non LTS | 16:22 |
| Fish-Face | I guess it makes that change anyway | 16:22 |
| jpds | ajf: Potentially, doing: apt-get install mountall -- will show why it's like that. | 16:22 |
| danub | component universe | 16:22 |
| sre-su | ok | 16:23 |
| ajf | jpds: OK | 16:23 |
| * danub shrugs | 16:23 | |
| danub | dont know which repo that is, but its in that one | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Fish-Face: run: gksudo gedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change: Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal | 16:23 |
| ajf | jpds: It just installed fine | 16:23 |
| Fish-Face | I'm modifying it now | 16:23 |
| ajf | huh | 16:23 |
| Fish-Face | do-release-upgrade could do with saying it found a new release that doesn't match the filter or whathaveyou | 16:24 |
| Silex | how do I print the "mod" (as in chmod) a file has? I want a numeric value | 16:24 |
| Silex | something like 660 or 644 | 16:24 |
| Silex | I could add the rw thing in ls -l but I want to make sure | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Silex: ls -l file | 16:25 |
| jrib | Silex: use stat '%a' I think. Check man stat if I'm wrong | 16:25 |
| enknot | NIIIIIICE! | 16:25 |
| Buttons840 | what file can i edit besides .bashrc? i know there is another file which does a similar thing but is less dangereous to edit | 16:26 |

| ActionParsnip | Buttons840: /etc/bash.bashrc | 16:26 |
| jrib | Silex: oops, stat -c '%a' FILE. But now my question is, why? | 16:26 |
| rumpe1 | Buttons840, .bashrc isn't dangerous | 16:26 |
| Fish-Face | By the way, I currently have a problem with Ubuntu (which I hope the upgrade will fix) - the kernel is consuming a positively ludicrous amount of memory | 16:26 |
| Fish-Face | Has anyone heard of this happening? | 16:26 |
| lmvc | Hi guys. do you know what a clamp is? | 16:26 |
| jrib | lmvc: is this somehow ubuntu related? | 16:27 |

| Pici | !who | 16:27 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 16:27 |
| Buttons840 | rumpe1: .bashrc is a big bash script which i don't understand, is there a single file i can edit myself? | 16:27 |
| jatt | linux tries to use as much as memory as possible | 16:27 |
| jrib | !ram | Fish-Face | 16:27 |
| ubottu | Fish-Face: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html | 16:27 |

| lmvc | to my ubuntu desktop | 16:27 |
| Fish-Face | jrib, I assume that page tells me I should read the +/- buffers/cache line in free? | 16:27 |
| rumpe1 | Buttons840, you don't have to understand it... just append your lines at the end | 16:27 |
| jrib | Fish-Face: yes | 16:28 |
| mbeierl | Fish-Face: how did you determine it was the kernel that is taking all the memory? | 16:28 |

| Fish-Face | If so, the information is coming directly from slabtop, mbeierl and jrib | 16:28 |
| rumpe1 | Fish-Face, look at "free && sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && free" | 16:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Fish-Face: if you run: free -m what is output (use a pastebin to hold the text) | 16:28 |
| Fish-Face | One of the kernel slabs is using 416M of RAM | 16:28 |
| Fish-Face | ActionParsnip, -/+ buffers/cache: 1284 1225 (there is also ~500M of cache used and a small amount of swap used) | 16:30 |
| Fish-Face | there is about a 20% (650M or so) discrepancy between the total amount of memory consumed by processes and the total memory reported consumed (less cache) by free | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Fish-Face: can you pastebin the whole lot please | 16:31 |
| Fish-Face | but this is nearly all accounted for by the memory used by the kernel | 16:31 |
| Fish-Face | sure thing, ActionParsnip | 16:31 |

| juk | cookiemad: how you know it doesnt? | 16:33 |
| cookiemad | juk, i just tried it | 16:34 |
| Fish-Face | ActionParsnip, notice the Slab: line, and how of that only about 14M is reclaimable | 16:34 |
| juk | cookiemad: well it's not like trying cookie is it, what did you do? | 16:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Fish-Face: seems strange, what is the output of: uname -r please | 16:36 |
| Fish-Face | 2.6.32-23-generic | 16:36 |
| Fish-Face | but as I say I'm upgrading | 16:36 |
| Fish-Face | I was really just wondering if anyone had heard of it | 16:36 |
| cookiemad | juk, i just plugged it in, and tried to use it in Skype. I also looked at the sound preferences, tried ever avaiable input connector and still nothing | 16:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Fish-Face: do you have older kernels? | 16:36 |
| Fish-Face | since the obvious thing to do is just upgrade and see | 16:36 |
| Fish-Face | err, maybe, let me check | 16:36 |
| Fish-Face | oldest is .31-14 | 16:37 |
| juk | cookiemad: in sound preferences in hardware section do you the device? | 16:38 |
| juk | cookiemad: do you see | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Fish-Face: try the one before your current kernel, see if its identical | 16:39 |
| Fish-Face | well afaik it's a slow memory leak | 16:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Fish-Face: make sure its in the .32 family :) | 16:39 |
| Fish-Face | so my plan was to try a new kernel rather than an old one | 16:39 |
| cookiemad | juk, i see 1 input and 1 output, thats the one im using | 16:39 |
| Fish-Face | ActionParsnip, 10.10 is on a newer minor revision, isn't it? | 16:39 |
| juk | cookiemad: what about profile? | 16:39 |
| juk | cookiemad: drop down left to test spakers | 16:40 |
| cookiemad | juk, Analog Stereo Duplex | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Fish-Face: I know lucid is, otherwise not sure | 16:41 |
| Buttons840 | i've installed python2.7 but all the convienient python modules in the repos get installed to python2.6; after pointing $PYTHONPATH to the python2.6 libs in .bashrc then the imports work like i want from the shell, but when i start idle with the gnome desktop it still doesn't work, do env vars set in bashrc not effect the gnome desktop? | 16:41 |
| Fish-Face | well I'm on lucid and I'm on .32... I thought Maverick was on .35 or something | 16:41 |
| juk | cookiemad: so in input section you don't see any signal? | 16:41 |
| Fish-Face | maybe I misread though | 16:41 |
| cookiemad | juk, exactly | 16:42 |
| jrib | Fish-Face: maverick is on .35 | 16:42 |
| juk | cookiemad: and you tried all options from drop down ofcourse? | 16:42 |
| cookiemad | juk, yes | 16:42 |
| Fish-Face | jrib, thanks | 16:42 |
| Fish-Face | well then ActionParsnip, my assumption is that upgrading to .35 will fix it | 16:43 |
| Fish-Face | so I was just curious as to whether there was a known cause | 16:43 |
| mtkorb | What is the naming convention of symlinks in /etc/rc2.d? They start with S and a 2-digit number...what does the number mean? | 16:43 |

| Fish-Face | the number indicates what order they start in | 16:43 |
| Buttons840 | do the env vars in .bashrc not effect application launched through the gnome desktop? | 16:44 |
| mtkorb | Fish-Face: Ok, thanks. | 16:44 |

| Buttons840 | ActionParsnip: i'm confused because if i start idle through the shell using "idle-python2.7 -n" and then try "import twisted" it will work (from the shell); when i do alt-f2 and then run "idle-python2.7 -n" then try import twisted, it fails | 16:47 |
| Aidar-Nagato | aeon-ltd, i can't. ActionParsnip, ok, five seconds :) | 16:47 |

| chrono86 | can anyone even see what i'm saying? (not to complain, but i've been in this channel multiple times and no one ahs ever responded to something i've said) | 19:04 |

| xangua | DarsVaeda: i believe there is a plugin for thunderbird to use indicators | 19:04 |
| ikonia | chrono86: yes we can see you | 19:04 |
| boywonder | jrib, youll find that you didnt actually help me! | 19:04 |
| deuterium | jrib: sorry, looks like ubuntu isn't serious about getting bug reports: doesn't accept my openid and when i try to create an account it complains about my password: "Password must be at least 8 characters long, and must contain at least one number and an upper case letter." | 19:04 |
| middle | Yeah i will stay here but it would be alot easier to give/recieve help in a PM | 19:04 |
| xangua | search in mozilla's addon web or in omg!ubuntu! webupd8 blogs | 19:04 |

| erUSUL | Assid: you see U+CODE there | 19:05 |
| Pici | deuterium: And that means that we're not serious about getting bug reports why? | 19:05 |
| jrib | deuterium: not sure why you are telling me. I don't think it's that big of a deal, but if you do, that's ok too | 19:05 |
| middle | ikonia: where will my memory stick location be? | 19:05 |
| ikonia | middle: normally under /media if it is an auto mount, if it's a manual mount, where ever you want | 19:05 |
| Chikokishi | Trying to update to 10.10 to hopefully resolve sound problem, got this error: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks | 19:06 |
| ikonia | middle: however, reading your forum thread, I would suggest you do a clean install | 19:06 |
| middle | oh yeah media derp | 19:06 |
| Chikokishi | I just installed ubuntu yesterday, so it should be exactly as it came. | 19:06 |
| middle | ikonia, really? what do you think is the problem? | 19:06 |
| ikonia | middle: you're machine appears to be in a real mess and a clean install to a current version would be a simple solution | 19:06 |
| ikonia | middle: I think you've made a real mess of your machine | 19:06 |
| deuterium | Pici: that barrier could be lowered a lot. by accepting anonymous bug reports without the need to have a launchpad (whatever this is) account. or at least: by accepting valid openid credentials. sorry for the rant, but things like this make me sad. | 19:06 |
| ikonia | deuterium: then you get spammed with people not serious about a quality bug report | 19:07 |
| ikonia | deuterium: your attitude makes me sad | 19:07 |

| Jayro | :S | 19:07 |
| middle | like everything on my PC | 19:08 |
| middle | thats not a helpful answer | 19:08 |
| ikonia | middle: that would be unwise as it would take all the messed up packages/config files with it | 19:08 |
| middle | i suppose my home folder | 19:08 |
| Chikokishi | middle, id suggest an external harddrive =) | 19:08 |
| middle | yeah, i guess | 19:08 |
| middle | goddamit why do i ahveb to do stupid things | 19:08 |
| ikonia | middle: copy the contents you want to an external disk | 19:08 |
| deuterium | ikonia: look, i know that problem too, myself, though from other projects. i just value the benefits of a lower barrier higher. | 19:08 |
| Chikokishi | hahaha I ask myself that a lot also | 19:08 |
| What are the first steps to quickly get in know how to work with Elastix? | 19:08 | |

| choronzon | HI, I get this error message in wine "Unable to open registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName" for reading." any ideas? thanks | 19:11 |

| choronzon: pritty stuff | 19:12 | |
| Pici | choronzon: Please ask in #winehq, we do not handle specific wine errors here. | 19:12 |
| middle | yeah, but all my files and config files etc.... they will be a pain to retrieve | 19:12 |
| Barnabas | middle nah | 19:12 |
| middle | is there any way to determine how large my home folder is? | 19:12 |
| deuterium | m4v: sure, it's more work for triage, indeed. i don't want to flame.. time's to valuable | 19:12 |
| Barnabas | backup of /etc /home/<user> | 19:12 |
| ikonia | middle: 1.) your config files should be dropped looking at your machine 2.) your packages should not be backed up, it's a mess | 19:12 |
| erUSUL | middle: right cvlick on it properties | 19:12 |
| ikonia | Barnabas: no | 19:12 |
| ikonia | Barnabas: are you reading what I'm saying, his machines packages are messed up, backing up broken config files is not a good idea | 19:12 |
| chrono86 | i am going to pull my hair out, i have no idea why pulse isn't working | 19:13 |
| middle | erUSUL im on CLI only | 19:13 |
| Barnabas | ikonia, sorry but thats nonsense :-) | 19:13 |
| boywonder: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:<repository-name> | 19:13 | |
| boywonder | god this sucks | 19:13 |
| Barnabas | a backup of the config files are always a good idea | 19:13 |
| middle | i mean like config files ofr irssi and conky etc... | 19:13 |
| Pici | boywonder: Lets start over. | 19:13 |
| ikonia | Barnabas: no it's not, if you have config files that are lilkey broken, why would you back them up | 19:13 |
| erUSUL | middle: du -hs $HOME | 19:13 |
| Barnabas | yes | 19:13 |
| Chikokishi | Trying to update to 10.10 to hopefully resolve sound problem, got this error: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks | 19:13 |
| boywonder | ok thank you | 19:13 |
| Pici | boywonder: Why do you think that command is 'not working'? | 19:13 |
| ikonia | middle: they are in your home directory in .irssi and .conky just put them on your memory stick, they are small | 19:14 |
| xangua | boywonder: start with what ubuntu version you use and what do you want to do: lsb_release -a | 19:15 |
| boywonder | i dont know too much about it | 19:15 |
| middle | ikonia, i knwo that but there are lots of them dotted all over the place... | 19:15 |
| middle | and | 19:15 |
| Barnabas | ikonia, always backup before reinstalling, you can then mount as an image and rescure whats rescued can be | 19:15 |
| Pici | xangua: I'd like boywonder to try to answer just my questions if you don't mind. | 19:15 |
| Barnabas | thats very basic | 19:15 |
| middle | erUSUL: how can i find the size of the home directory for an other user (i am root atm) | 19:15 |
| erUSUL | middle: du -hs /home/username/ | 19:15 |

| MC8 | Hey there, my ubuntu/gnome topbar is refusing to show the windspeed next to the weather icon and temperature. How'd I fix that? | 19:15 |
| erUSUL | middle: du accepts file/dirs as parameter | 19:15 |

| boywonder | or its not enabled | 19:15 |
| middle | woo 17G more than my external HDD | 19:16 |
| middle | joy | 19:16 |
| boywonder | or i just dont know lol | 19:16 |
| erUSUL | middle: do « sudo du -hs /home/* » | 19:16 |
| ikonia | Barnabas: no, someone who has no idea what they are doing and has broken their system should accept a clean install unless they know for certain the config is sane | 19:16 |
| MC8: killall gnome-panel (if really) | 19:16 | |
| gordonjcp | MC8: strange, I'm sure there used to be an option to do that | 19:16 |

| raisin123 | Hello somebody please help me. Like an idiot I somehow removed my network applet from the bar on the desktop and now, I don't know how to bring it back. I can't connect to internet !!! I had to log in from a gues account to acess internet. Please help !!! | 19:27 |
| Jayro | roygbiv: what do you mean? | 19:27 |
| Jayro: my j.jar is --x and it has launched | 19:27 | |
| Daghdha | My NIC dissapears sometiems (In the OS, it's still in the case) the network plug in top right is cometely gone. It was tehre working.. and at some point it's gone and network is dead | 19:27 |
| Pici | boywonder: Okay, now lets add this repository in a bit of a different way. do sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and then paste this all the way at the bottom of the file (no spaces in front): deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner when you're done press ctrl-o to save, then ctrl-x to quit. | 19:27 |
| roygbiv | Jayro: well, either the app wants a graphics environment but can't detect it (most likely case), or it wants to run headless but doesn't think it can | 19:27 |
| raisin123: sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 19:27 | |
| erUSUL | raisin123: add a notification area to your top panel. right click on it choose add to panel | 19:27 |
| erUSUL | raisin123: look for it in the list | 19:28 |
| Jayro | roygbiv: so what do u suggest i do? | 19:28 |
| Jayro: maybe try anothe jar file not exactly that | 19:28 | |
| VCoolio | MyWay: I don't know if auto is default; try again with 'defaults,auto' as options, no space in between (you can omit 'defaults' once something else is there) | 19:28 |
| Morl | pestilence: check if the problem persists without the kvm switch. those switches should be transparent but in my experience they aren't. no software solution for this. | 19:28 |
| Jayro | wechat: others do the same thing | 19:28 |
| Chikokishi | jrib: Thanks, that worked =) | 19:28 |
| Jayro: what app is? | 19:28 | |
| roygbiv | Jayro: well i'm not a java pro, but hmm, you are running in a graphics environment right? | 19:29 |
| raisin123 | erUSUL: It's not in the list da... I already checked. | 19:29 |
| Chikokishi | Ill be back after upgrade | 19:29 |
| MyWay | VCoolio: yes, defaults have "auto", too | 19:29 |
| Jayro | roygbiv: yes | 19:29 |

| VCoolio | Odaym: no, step 1 and 2 first, read the link, there's something on checkinstall there too, it will create a .deb and install that instead of cluttering your file system with files from the packages you can't trace later | 19:41 |
| kveras | pestilence: manufacturer is not very important, just check what chipset it is. | 19:41 |
| Odaym | alright | 19:41 |
| roygbiv | Jayro: that's my suspicion too, but your $DISPLAY is set so i tend to doubt the X11 thing | 19:41 |

| BiPolah | Haydemon_:Try using ccleaner to clear out unecessary files from your Windows install, uninstall programs you don't need. | 21:21 |
| Starminn | haydemon: Just clean out programs you don't use. You could also try "System->Administrator->Computer Janitor and see if anything is floating around there. | 21:22 |

I do know, though, that when you delete files from the ~/.wine/drice_c/Program Files that they have a tendency to still show up in the WINE menu under Applications->Wine so as far as 100% getting rid of them I'm not sure.

| Odaym | ask | 21:46 |
| Ubuntnub | Sorry. I installed the latest version of Ubuntu (10.10 I believe) via USB and it had the nice black taskbars and stylized buttons. | 21:46 |
| ramadan | I got a computer from my brother. It needed a new hard drive so I got it. No Operating system.... so I installed Ubuntu and it is awesome | 21:46 |

| ramadan | would it be easier to just plug one computer into the other one using netwrok cables? | 21:48 |
| jimcooncat | Guest87255, you should use Ubuntu's default installer. You can wipe windows during install if you like. | 21:48 |
| Odaym | ramadan, i think you can install "openssh-server" on Ubuntu, configure a key, install Putty on Windows, have both on the same subnet and ssh to the windows machine... | 21:48 |

| luisgrin | remove ok :) | 21:52 |

| luisgrin | nope, i does not start fail | 21:56 |
| Starminn | Guest87255: I could be wrong, but that seems logically hard to manage because the point of installing Ubuntu via LiveCD is to be unattached to the hard drive so if you're installing from the hard drive you'd be in a partition already and... hmm... It just confuses me even thinking about it. :) | 21:56 |
| luisgrin | nope, i does not start fail, i did --purge and also then install | 21:56 |

| supertuxxx | use purge option | 22:15 |
| Wulfy | chai16, thats fine but what im saying is rather than use stander ftp why not use sftp which uterlises the ssh dameon? | 22:15 |
| chai16 | Wulfy i will see what that gets me | 22:15 |
| mantise | supertuxxx: ok, did purge nvidia-current | 22:16 |
| supertuxxx | startx | 22:16 |
| mantise | supertuxxx: removing nvidia-current and all DKMS modules | 22:16 |
| Wulfy | chai16, youd be better off as ftp transmits passwords in plain text and could be the subject of network sniffing | 22:16 |
| mantise | supertuxxx: no reconfigure or anything first | 22:16 |
| mantise | ? | 22:16 |
| chai16 | Wulfy can i apt-get it? what is the package name? | 22:16 |

| supertuxxx | try | 22:20 |
| supertuxxx | maybe it fails because "read" in xorg.conf | 22:21 |
| chai16 | Wulfy to initiate SFTP in filezilla i can just specify port 22 right? | 22:21 |
| supertuxxx | so rename it .bak | 22:21 |
| chai16 | and i still get permission denied. | 22:21 |
| mantise | and it also load /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf | 22:21 |

| chai16 | basically how do i make it so that the user chai has rw access to an external hardrive located at /media/drive ?? | 22:22 |
| Wulfy | chai16, correct | 22:22 |
| supertuxxx | mantise, try X -configure | 22:22 |
| Wulfy | chai16, it should auto negiote the connection | 22:22 |
| chai16 | rw access to all files now and any made in the future | 22:22 |
| chai16 | i think the command might be chown or chmod ? i really don't know | 22:22 |
| mantise | supertuxxx: shows list of drivers | 22:23 |
| supertuxxx | mantise, i understand... different files.... | 22:23 |

| supertuxxx | mantise, leave x -configure | 22:23 |
| maco2 | chai16: recursively | 22:23 |

| maco2 | chai16: oh, and chgrp to that user's group (or a group containing that user) | 22:24 |
| mantise | supertuxxx: did remove xorg.conf now, and did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:24 |
| chai16 | maco2 so is this a suitable command? sudo chmod g+rw /media/drive ? | 22:24 |

| supertuxxx | ? | 22:25 |
| supertuxxx | startx? | 22:25 |
| chai16 | sabboo please explain | 22:25 |

| nucc1 | Anon7-2521, you can only get the router IP from the administrator of the network. if that person is not you. | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Anon7-2521: or for more intelligent output: ifconfig | grep 'inet addr:'| grep -v '127.0.0.1' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}' | 23:18 |
| hv | aveny: yes, that shows the line numbers in a chunk. just be careful about things like deleting a line after that. you know what I mean. | 23:18 |
| nucc1 | Anon7-2521, but a good guess, is to assume the gateway IP is your router's IP. | 23:18 |

| Pricey | fieldymac: just check in ~/.gpg and ~/.ssh | 23:22 |
| bencahill | ActionParsnip: does the cd (booting) have an option to upgrade, or do you do it from the os? | 23:22 |
| Pricey | fieldymac: password keyrings though, i'm not so sure about where they're stored | 23:22 |
| aveny | hv, I didn't modify them, I tried this: http://pastebin.com/MYnij0AB but it didn't work | 23:22 |

| fieldymac | All of them, I want to make a backup of everything, the .gpg and .ssh are ok, but I think the gnomevfs also stores something.. | 23:23 |
| boywonder | sharav, shall i also add the google add ins | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | bencahill: do it from within the OS, there is basically a script in the root of the CD (Or ISO, both are equal (saves having to burn a CD)) to run and update | 23:23 |

| fieldymac | Jason: When you say stops working, does it stop auto connection, by which I mean you can click back on your wifi connect, or does the card stop working so you cant see any wireless networks? | 23:29 |

| cheese_gorillas7 | kwtm, it is typically called kcontrol, it may be called System Settings in Kubuntu. | 23:33 |
| Guest70497 | what is partner repo | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Wulfy: not sure but someone on launchpad answers is asking | 23:33 |
| rww | ActionParsnip: The illegal part of commercial DVD reading is decrypting CSS. libdvdread4 passes this off to a separate package (libdvdcss). | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !partner | Guest70497 | 23:33 |
| ubottu | Guest70497: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 23:33 |

| jahrome_ | bencahill: no, its installed, dualboot system | 23:38 |
| cheese_gorillas7 | kwtm, in that case I don't know. It depends what evolution on ubuntu uses to figure out mime info. My best guess would be what hv suggested, to check out xdg-mime | 23:38 |
| induz | i can see those video files and thier proerties are listed as; AVI video (video/x-msvideo)...can i edit those files | 23:38 |
| Guest70497 | all i have is a other software tab and that does not have a partner repo box | 23:38 |
