| xomp | hi, trying to setup an hybrid-ircd on my ubuntu server and I installed it via apt-get install hybrid-ircd and all went well, except there is absolutely NO ircd.conf in /etc/ircd-hybrid/ircd.conf lilke every bit of ubuntu's help files and hybrid-ircd's websites say there should be lol, please help! | 00:01 |
| BuenGenio | as well as panek | 00:01 |

| anonboots | Logan_WP: i did use that wizard. | 00:01 |
| BuenGenio | gnome-panel | 00:01 |
| joseAway | mneptok: I don't speak shell fluently. I'm worried because I'm on a shared machine, over ssh, and I started to run-parts without putting it in a screen to detach | 00:01 |

| anonboots | Logan_WP: I unplugged the printer. I reset it. They only thing I havent done is restarted my box. | 00:02 |
| joseAway | mneptok: so, if I close my ssh session while it is running... will bad things happen? | 00:02 |
| mneptok | joseAway: it checks for software updates. you can safely stop the process. | 00:02 |
| induz | I get error when i insert/give command: tar Zxvf?? | 00:02 |
| freebse | BuenGenio: okay I admit I have debian, but still it does over here, maybe it is called something else in ubuntu, I can also add a volume control from the panel menu | 00:02 |
| BuenGenio | another issue - apt-get/aptitude don't want to work through proxy | 00:02 |
| joseAway | mneptok: okay, that's what I thought/hoped :]] | 00:02 |
| joseAway | mneptok: what's a ballpark runtime for that? | 00:02 |
| mneptok | joseAway: claro que si. | 00:02 |
| Joeb454 | bodhizazen: I think it's something to do with kernel config options | 00:03 |
| BuenGenio | have export http_proxy in bash, and apt says couldn't retrieve | 00:03 |
| mneptok | joseAway: depends on network speed and latency | 00:03 |
| Jordan_U | freebse: This is not #debian. This channel is for Ubuntu support only. | 00:03 |
| mneptok | Jordan_U: freebse is giving help, not asking for it | 00:03 |
| * mneptok shrugs | 00:04 | |
| freebse | Jordan_U: so what where is the big difference... I was just saying that maybe in a few times there could be a difference | 00:04 |
| BillSunday | What mirror should I select for Natty Narwhal on PS3? I live in the USA. | 00:04 |
| Jordan_U | freebse: Sorry, missed the context. Ignore my previous comment. | 00:04 |
| anonboots | xomp: It is called example.conf | 00:04 |
| anonboots | xomp: You must edit it, and rename it ircd.conf | 00:04 |
| joseAway | mneptok: high speed, average latency. Should be less than five minutes, yes? Does it increase if it has not been run in a long time? | 00:04 |
| Logan_WP | !mirrorstatus | BillSunday | 00:05 |
| ubottu | BillSunday: A list of official repository mirrors and their statuses can be found at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors | 00:05 |
| freebse | Jordan_U: I would not ask in here, even if normally all answers are also 100% comaptible | 00:05 |
| xomp | anonboots, there are actually _no_ files in my /etc/ircd-hybrid folder :3 | 00:05 |
| anonboots | Did you untar it correctly? | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | freebse: Understood. It was completely a mistake, I should have looked at the context of your comment before saying anything. | 00:06 |
| anonboots | and make and compile correctly? | 00:06 |
| joseAway | mneptok: ah well, I just stopped it and ran it again inside a screen session. Thanks for your advice :] | 00:06 |
| skeith | hey i've just install amarok from repo but it don't play mp3 any clue why? | 00:06 |
| freebse | Jordan_U: with the sound mixer applet ubuntu uses it is really a difference, so guess this is the 0.5% | 00:06 |
| xomp | anonboots, I used apt-get install ircd-hybrid | 00:06 |
| teb_ | do you have all the codex installed? | 00:06 |
| skeith | i think yes | 00:06 |
| anonboots | xomp then what you need to do, is cd into the directory that you downloaded to, and untar it. | 00:07 |
| skeith | rythmbox play mp3 | 00:07 |
| xomp | it was a package != tarball :P | 00:07 |
| freebse | Jordan_U: never mind, actually I found out in this case gnome-volume-control-applet does nothing and I don't know what the applet is called in Ubuntu, so actually true | 00:07 |
| xomp | an actual ubuntu package | 00:07 |
| anonboots | xomp lol I appologize. | 00:07 |
| xomp | hah no worries :) | 00:07 |
| anonboots | xomp Then you need to type in ./config | 00:08 |
| anonboots | If I am not mistaken, and follow the prompts. | 00:08 |

| freebse | but ok I like old programs, guess there is a better one out there since 5 years at least ;) | 00:14 |
| ubun | ANONBOOTS: ok... and filezilla is a site right? MNEPTOK: is that the gui for vsftpd? | 00:14 |
| tsimpson | ubun: vsftpd is an FTP server, not a client | 00:14 |

| cntb | so ? ubuntu wont be on primary Jordan_U will resize still work correctly on manual repartition and not kill w7 boot? | 00:50 |
| induz | mickster04, i will install it but my Q is how can I install a s/w from tar.gz downloaded file | 00:50 |
| Jordan_U | cntb: Some OEMs set things up that way, and it's rather annoying because if they just made one of the 4 primary partitions a logical one you could create as many partitions as you wanted. As is you're stuck with 4 untill you delete one :( | 00:50 |
| HowardTheDuck | i added a 2 TB hard drive to my ubuntu/win7 system for storage. formatted it in ntfs with windows | 00:50 |
| HowardTheDuck | but when i boot into ubuntu, it doesn't see the drive. | 00:50 |
| mickster04 | induz: normally there are instructions, but sually involved unpaclking ./configure ./make ./makeinstall | 00:51 |
| HowardTheDuck | i don't want to necessarily have it auto mount, but i'd like it to show up in nautilus at least so i can click on it to load it the way i can my other ntfs partition | 00:51 |
| mickster04 | HowardTheDuck: places > computer > there? | 00:51 |
| HowardTheDuck | nope only my 350 GB ntfs partition i have windows on | 00:51 |
| Jordan_U | cntb: You need to use one primary partition as an extended partition, within which you can create any number of logical partitions. Since your OEM used up all 4 primary partitions without making any of them extended you'll need to delete one to add any more. | 00:52 |
| HowardTheDuck | it shows up in nautilus so i can click on it to mount it, and then eject it when done | 00:52 |
| HowardTheDuck | id'd like the new 2 tb drive i put in to do the same | 00:52 |
| cntb | oh s maybe I reconfigure and say bye to second ntfs to get things done Jordan_U ? may take time but seems the only way out | 00:52 |
| DoctorPepper | is anyone here using squid3 with squidguard please ??? | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | cntb: Yes, but be very carefull what partition you delete. The small "system" partition for instance is needed for Windows 7 to be able to boot. | 00:53 |
| K350 | How do get DVD's to automaticaly open in VLC? | 00:53 |

| scampbell | Cyrano_De: it can also mean that your server has -no- address pool configured that you are allowed to access. If it's a restricted network I would certainly suspect that to be of issue. | 01:51 |
| Cyrano_De | scampbell: The reservation is set on the dhcp server and the client just asks for whatever address the server wants to give me. Other wise I would need to reconfigure dhclient for work and then again for home. | 01:51 |

| tripelb | Jordan_U, sounds simple. I've been getting lost in trying to understand find command as in the undefined, yes I looked it up on google, "symbolic link". Is that the filename? the icon? | 02:48 |
| Ben64 | econdudeawesome: what are you trying to do with cuda? | 02:48 |
| timewriter | econdudeawesome, i guess that the latest nvidia drivers have CUDA support | 02:48 |

| sacarlson | KGBWolf: I could be wrong but doesn't the standard install just encrypt the /home/user dirs? | 02:49 |
| timewriter | why do you need cuda , by the way ? | 02:49 |
| mdg2 | say /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device - I don't know what that means | 02:49 |
| tripelb | Jordan_U, sounds simple. I've been getting lost in trying to understand find command as in the undefined, yes I looked it up on google, "symbolic link". Is that the filename? the icon? -- I am interested in "find" to find a file not a charstring | 02:49 |
| econdudeawesome | Ben64: I'm trying to use it! :-) Using PyCUDA wrapper to interface with it. I keep getting an error that nvcc cannot be found. I suspect perhaps I don't have the SDK installed? | 02:49 |
| KGBWolf | sacarlson yes i choose to encrypt everything | 02:49 |
| Ben64 | econdudeawesome: use = write program for it? | 02:49 |
| MadHaTTer_777 | it means fd0 isnt in /dev | 02:50 |
| sacarlson | KGBWolf: can I see the output of mount and fdisk -l ? | 02:50 |
| KGBWolf | sure | 02:50 |
| econdudeawesome | Ben64: Absolutely. I'm writing scientific programming and I want to incorporate it into the toolkit | 02:50 |
| Ben64 | econdudeawesome: then yeah, you need the special drivers from nvidia | 02:51 |
| econdudeawesome | Ben64: I attempted to do the "Hello World" program using PyCUDA and it's giving me a CUDA error. Not sure how to check it | 02:51 |
| econdudeawesome | Ben64: So the latest driver in the repos do not support it? | 02:51 |
| Jordan_U | mdg2: My last floppy drive died last year. Sorry I can't help you more. | 02:51 |
| Ben64 | they support cuda applications, but not your own | 02:51 |

| MadHaTTer_777 | yes but is it connected with the right colors | 03:00 |
| econdudeawesome | JeffCBR: it does not, but Kubuntu does. Or you can install it via apt-get (sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for KDE+goodies) | 03:00 |
| tripelbaby | rww sorry | 03:00 |
| inaety | Senjai: then how would I have the client find the server? find the IP? | 03:00 |

| willystylee | MadHaTTer_777: it uses usb for keyboard & mouse | 03:11 |
| Senjai | econdudeawesome, $PATH contains all the default Paths, so if you include it, it wont | 03:11 |
| Senjai | econdudeawesome, if you don't it will overwrite them. PATH=$PATH:path/path:other/path | 03:11 |
| Senjai | econdudeawesome, same as saying New = Old + this + that | 03:12 |
| MadHaTTer_777 | brb i need a smoke break | 03:12 |
| econdudeawesome | Senjai: I see. If I don't have any path variables, then adding PATH=$PATH:extra/path/here is fine? | 03:12 |
| willystylee | lol | 03:12 |
| Random832 | econdudeawesome: it's very unlikely that you don't already have one | 03:13 |
| Senjai | econdudeawesome, you already have $PATH variables, type $PATH in terminal to see the default ones, this addition just adds paths to the original ones | 03:13 |
| willystylee | anyone else think they could help me with my problem? | 03:13 |
| Random832 | it is set on startup to "/bin:/usr/bin" and your login script probably already adds more to that | 03:13 |

| maco2 | mdg2: fd0 means floppy disk. move the little slider on the floppy from the locked position | 03:19 |
| peaveyman | ok | 03:19 |
| Senjai | peaveyman, create a program that enables it, and run it at startup? | 03:19 |
| Senjai | lol | 03:19 |
| JeffCBR | Peavey, your BIOS might have a setting to control that. | 03:19 |
| MadHaTTer_777 | geeze ive only been using linux a week am i still a nood when im solving other ppls probs? | 03:19 |

| JeffCBR | shcherbak: Any of those CLI? | 03:22 |
| gsp2009 | jon_athon: openshot is pretty good | 03:22 |
| porjo | Random832: thanks, that works | 03:22 |
| jon_athon | DaGeek247, just gotta splice a couple .vob files together | 03:22 |
| jon_athon | and convert to wmv | 03:22 |
| MadHaTTer_777 | yeah or do it in terminal like senji said | 03:22 |
| teb_ | kdenlive and openshot is good software for video edit | 03:22 |
| shcherbak | JeffCBR: irssi, and weechat | 03:22 |
| Random832 | JeffCBR: most peopel misuse the term "CLI", but irssi runs in a terminal | 03:22 |
| Senjai | Terminal > IDE, eventually :) | 03:22 |
| JeffCBR | Cool. :D | 03:22 |
| Senjai | did i JUST say IDE? I meant GUI.. | 03:22 |
| MadHaTTer_777 | lol | 03:22 |
| JeffCBR | Random832: Meaning if I don't load Gnome, I can't run it? | 03:23 |
| DaGeek247 | jon_athon pitivi. its a lot like windows movie maker it should do the job. | 03:23 |
| Senjai | It's useful to learn, so.. | 03:23 |
| MadHaTTer_777 | kinda a big dif there ahh senji | 03:23 |
| MadHaTTer_777 | lol | 03:23 |
| jon_athon | DaGeek247, thanks | 03:23 |
| Senjai | Thinking one thing, typed another :/ | 03:23 |
| Random832 | JeffCBR: no, that doesn't mean that, why would you think that means that | 03:23 |
| shcherbak | JeffCBR: irssi have awesome documentation, and script pack is in repos. | 03:23 |
| Random832 | it's just a pet peeve of mine - i consider 'CLI' to exclude full screen text mode programs like irssi, vim, and so on | 03:24 |

| Fluttershy | I'd switch back to irssi in a heartbeat if there was a good notification menu script... | 03:25 |
| timewriter | lol | 03:25 |
| JeffCBR | Random832: Perhaps my question should have been do those run in the CLI? | 03:26 |
| Fluttershy | WeeChat has one, but it's tedious | 03:26 |
| Random832 | JeffCBR: technically a terminal also applies to the linux virtual consoles [alt-f1 etc] and to physical devices, but otherwise... CLI is often misused, it's not like it's _your_ misconception | 03:26 |

| timewriter | they look promising | 03:33 |
| tripelbaby | shcherbak, when I look at "computer" in list, the other drives dont have the proper path, they say 40 GB Hard Disk: 40 GB Filesystem which isnt the path. I think the path starts with /media --- I need to learn this stuff. I dont have "some basics" and so I keep flailing. | 03:34 |
| Random832 | shcherbak: changed from a plain ban to a forward | 03:34 |

| ruan_ | i tried ubuntu with the livecd, installed it, and idk how to restart now | 03:34 |
| timewriter | i was one , but i got cured | 03:35 |
| tripelbaby | do you know how to power down ruan? or to logout? | 03:35 |
| ruan_ | nope | 03:35 |
| shcherbak | tripelbaby: Yes /media/ is in Ubuntu mount point for removables, Nautius do not show this, because it offers shortcut to such drives. | 03:35 |
| ruan_ | the shutdown button only shows suspend or hibernate | 03:35 |
| pagan0ne | ruan_, if you can get to console, sudo shutdown -h now | 03:35 |
| gnewb | ruan_: Remove the CD? | 03:35 |
| ruan_ | ok | 03:35 |
| ruan_ | its running off the cd | 03:35 |
| tripelbaby | OK look on the panel (that's the thin strip on the top) ok go to add to panel with a rightclick | 03:36 |
| timewriter | ruan_, configure it from Power Managemenbt | 03:36 |

| shcherbak | pagan0ne: is it after update/upgrade ? | 03:37 |
| Senjai | Sorry I saw it above, I don't have an answer | 03:37 |
| tripelbaby | shcherbak, I still cant get the path. when I switch to list view then I haev to research and it comes back in icon view | 03:37 |
| pagan0ne | shcherbak, after an apt-get upgrade | 03:37 |
| timewriter | BitWraith, Preferences > Startup Applications | 03:37 |
| ruan_ | ok its rebooting | 03:37 |
| tripelbaby | shcherbak, and I cant find the path to cd into the directory to use find | 03:37 |
| pagan0ne | shcherbak, an auto-update actually | 03:38 |
| BitWraith | my friend has a box that is starting dnsmasq whenever his connection comes up, and it's messing with another DNS server he needs to use | 03:38 |
| tripelbaby | shcherbak, good reasons for what they do notwithstanding | 03:38 |
| PyjamaSpank | I've installed 10.10 to an SSD, I've read that to use "noatime" and move the tmp to the SSD. Is there anything else I should do? | 03:38 |

| shcherbak | tripelbaby: after search press ctrl-2 | 03:38 |

| jon_athon | why can't I edit my .vob files? | 03:40 |
| jon_athon | when I open my .vob files in pitivi they show one second in length, I can't edit them, but they play for a full 45 minutes | 03:40 |
| tripelbaby | shcherbak, I did. I told you I did. I told you twice what happens after I do. What happens is that all the find results vanish. Then after I search again they come back in icon view. -- I am well familiar with using icon view or list view. | 03:40 |
| timewriter | they are DVD files | 03:40 |
| tripelbaby | my question is so simple that no one can figure it out cause it's trapped inside a set of invisible assumptions you "all have" | 03:40 |
| jon_athon | timewriter, is that bad? | 03:41 |
| timewriter | no | 03:41 |
| timewriter | why would you edit them ? | 03:41 |
| Disturbed1 | Hello. | 03:41 |
| jon_athon | timewriter, I did a class project, I gotta remove some stuff | 03:41 |
| tripelbaby | jon_athon, I've seen that in windows. No it's not bad, it is what dvd files are called. -- I also have problems relating to that kind of thing. | 03:41 |
| timewriter | you need a dedicated editing software that is able to edit dvds | 03:42 |
| tripelbaby | !ask | Disturbed1 | 03:42 |
| ubottu | Disturbed1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:42 |

| tripelbaby | I found out, to name a disk you name a partition. To name a partition you use gparted not nautilus. Thank you for all your attention friends. -- inc shcherbak | 04:02 |
| arand | ruan: How did you install it? Wubi? LiveCD? | 04:02 |
| ruan | live cd | 04:02 |

| MrBmx | thank you senjai... one last thing, if i install ubuntu i will not lose my current vista information (e.g music pics and so fourth) correct? | 04:02 |
| Senjai | MrBmx, no | 04:02 |
| gnewb | tripelbaby: YES! | 04:02 |
| ruan | booted off of the livecd, changed boot settings to hard drive after install, cant boot | 04:02 |
| Senjai | MrBmx, Just follow the setup instructions, and choose to boot alongside vista | 04:02 |
| shcherbak | JeffCBR: Do you run any other installations or updates?> | 04:03 |
| Senjai | MrBmx, When you boot, you can select "Windows Recovery Environment" from the menu to load vista | 04:03 |
| arand | JeffCBR: Yes, you can only have one package manager running at the same time | 04:03 |
| JeffCBR | "E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" | 04:03 |
| JeffCBR | I see. | 04:03 |
| tripelbaby | ruan, when you boot up from scratch you should get a text screen that allows you to use the arrow keys to chose which partition to boot from. At this place Ubuntu wubi "looks like" a different partition even though it is not one. It is one of the choices. | 04:03 |
| Anon7-2521 | Has anyone come across this problem before? i searched the forums extensively, but as of yet have not found a working solution | 04:03 |

| ruan | because it seemed to wipe windows, not that i mind, but i need to boot into an os | 04:05 |
| tripelbaby | ruan: when you boot, do you see the text screen? | 04:05 |
| ruan | no | 04:05 |
| arand | matiu: That is likely a bit over the top, but as long as you don't desperately need the space... You normally don't need a separate /boot unless you want to. | 04:05 |
| gnewb | ruan: There are some very good Utilities and Forensics in GParted and other places that could resolve that for you. | 04:05 |
| ruan | only a "loading dmi pool data" screen and it freezes at that | 04:05 |

| Anon7-2521 | Yeah. I haven't done any updates at all, and I was having serious problems with my iSight so I decided to update. Didn't fix the isight, and now I'm having this problem, gsp2009 | 04:25 |
| cntb | noone now | 04:25 |
| shcherbak | skutr3: is it live system? | 04:25 |
| DaGeek247 | sudo passwd | 04:25 |
| Senjai | JeffCBR, If you MUST log in as root, you can use sudo bash | 04:25 |
| gaelfx | oops | 04:25 |
| Loshki | JeffCBR: use sudo whenevr you want root... | 04:25 |
| skutr3 | shcherbak: i guess | 04:25 |
| cntb | will try to seeit myself although no clue | 04:25 |
| JeffCBR | I don't even see a user called root. | 04:25 |
| shcherbak | skutr3: Do you run it from usb? | 04:26 |
| skutr3 | shcherbak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567998/ and live cd | 04:26 |
| Senjai | JeffCBR, type sudo bash, your name will change to root | 04:26 |
| Anon7-2521 | gsp2009: Is there something specific I could search for in the history? | 04:26 |
| gsp2009 | Anon7-2521: have you tried resinstalling gnome-power-manager using synaptic? | 04:26 |
| Anon7-2521 | No. Why would I do that? | 04:26 |
| JeffCBR | So, I'm not a super-user, but I have access to sudo to do su stuff? | 04:26 |
| gsp2009 | Anon7-2521: well, that will reinstall the package... | 04:27 |
| Anon7-2521 | No, I understand that | 04:27 |
| Anon7-2521 | I meant | 04:27 |
| Senjai | JeffCBR, yes, Ubuntu has root, but not a password for it, so if you do what I said you can still login to root | 04:27 |

| Anon7-2521 | I've never done it through the power-management function. I used the nvidia...somethinsomething repositiory, gsp2009. | 04:27 |
| gsp2009 | Anon7-2521: are you running the proprietary drivers? | 04:28 |
| Anon7-2521 | gsp2009: yes | 04:28 |
| gsp2009 | Anon7-2521: did you have to reinstall the drivers at single user when you upgraded kernel? | 04:28 |
| Anon7-2521 | gsp2009: I wasn't prompted to, No. | 04:28 |
| shcherbak | skutr3: Confused, Do you have ubutnu installed on the hard drive? LiveCD do not deliver sudo right to users, there is only duest session. | 04:28 |
| * gsp2009 assumes Anon7-2521 upgraded to a new kernel yesterday. | 04:28 | |
| shcherbak | *guest* | 04:29 |
| skutr3 | shcherbak: should i just unintstall and reinstall? | 04:29 |
| gsp2009 | Anon7-2521: this may be your issue. Do you remember how to reinstall the nvidia drivers? | 04:29 |
| skutr3 | shcherbak: and yes its on the harddrive | 04:29 |
| Ziber | Why, if I have swap labeled in /etc/fstab, should it not be used? swapon -a seems uneffective. | 04:29 |
| Anon7-2521 | gsp2009: I already did | 04:29 |
| Anon7-2521 | gsp2009: I also re-installed this: nvidia-bl-dkms | 04:30 |
| Anon7-2521 | Which is what is used for the backlight dimming | 04:30 |
| gsp2009 | Anon7-2521: hmmm.. ok. so once you ran all of your upgrades, you then reinstalled the nvidia drivers? | 04:30 |

| JeffCBR | sorry... | 04:34 |
| Senjai | ? | 04:34 |
| Senjai | JeffCBR.. | 04:34 |
| Senjai | What are you trying to do | 04:34 |
| Inphernal | @Loshki: That's what I'm suspecting, but is there some way I could diagnose it and hopefully find out it's some software issue which I can fix it myself? | 04:34 |
| JeffCBR | delete the password for root again. | 04:35 |
| Senjai | for Ubuntu? There is no password | 04:35 |
| shcherbak | JeffCBR: You will sleep better without password for root in Ubuntu | 04:35 |
| Senjai | !root | JeffCBR | 04:35 |
| ubottu | JeffCBR: 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 | 04:35 |
| dayongge | sgs | 04:35 |
| JeffCBR | I set the root passwd... I think. | 04:35 |
| Senjai | you cant | 04:35 |
| JeffCBR | Unles Ubuntu doesn't allow it. | 04:35 |
| Senjai | its hardwired. | 04:35 |
| Inphernal | @Loshki: I remember Nero had some diagnostic tools, but I don't have it | 04:35 |
| Senjai | it doesn't | 04:35 |
| JeffCBR | I didn't get an error. | 04:35 |
| Senjai | Try logging in | 04:36 |
| shcherbak | JeffCBR: try su root then | 04:36 |
| Senjai | sudo bash is the only way to log into root on ubuntu, or sudo-ing another shell | 04:36 |
| Senjai | And all that does is creates a new shell as root | 04:36 |
| Senjai | but no root password. | 04:36 |
| Anon7-2521 | gsp2009: That did it. Wow. | 04:36 |
| * Anon7-2521 facepalms | 04:36 | |
| lk | in the single user mode, you can edit the passwd file | 04:37 |
| JeffCBR | su root works. | 04:37 |
| DaGeek247 | or choosing "other"' "root" and the sudo pass at login | 04:37 |

| Anon7-2521 | gsp2009: I wish I didn't have to boot into OS X everytime I rebooted or shut down my computer >.< | 04:38 |
| Senjai | lk, ubuntu ignores passwd for root, doesn't even read the file I believe. | 04:38 |
| Senjai | not for root at least | 04:38 |
| rww | Ubuntu sets the password hash to something that will never match an actual password. | 04:38 |
| gsp2009 | Anon7-2521: :( | 04:38 |
| arand | Aikar: You did not get a menu? | 04:39 |

| SleepyCow2 | Hello all. I am new to Ubuntu, and have limited Unix/Linux experience, and am looking for some help upgrading my installation of ShrewSoft VPN Client in Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition. Specifically, the latest version included in the Ubuntu software repository in 2.1.5, | 04:39 |
| rww | JeffCBR: when it writes /etc/shadow, yes | 04:39 |
| SleepyCow2 | but I need to upgrade to 2.1.7 to connect to my VPN device. Can anyone assist me? | 04:39 |
| Aikar | arand: nope | 04:39 |
| rww | It's "!" or "x" or something. I forget. | 04:39 |
| SleepyCow2 | I can download a source tarball but don't really know whwere to go from there. | 04:40 |
| maco2 | rww: either works | 04:40 |
| gsp2009 | Anon7-2521: that is annoying.. anyway I gotta jet... have a good one. | 04:40 |
| maco2 | rww: well actually i think it's ! or * ... | 04:40 |
| arand | JeffCBR: You can set a root password, yes, as per the wiki page linkes a couple of times above, however it is not recommended, and you shiould be able to get the equivalent by running "sudo -i" | 04:40 |
| maco2 | rww: but since x is an impossible hash too (far too short for one.....) thatd be equally effective | 04:40 |
| Anon7-2521 | gsp2009: Thanks for your help | 04:40 |

| rww | maco2: that sounds more right | 04:40 |
| gsp2009 | Anon7-2521: you are welcome. | 04:40 |

| shcherbak | JeffCBR: -l | 04:41 |
| JeffCBR | lock | 04:41 |
| shcherbak | JeffCBR: man passwd | 04:41 |
| JeffCBR | ok, thanks. | 04:41 |
| JeffCBR | just wasn't sure if the default setting was "locked" or "deleted". | 04:41 |
| arand | JeffCBR: Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#root%20account | 04:41 |
| JeffCBR | !root leads me to believe that it's deleted. | 04:42 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:42 |
| DaGeek247 | SleepyCow2 what does the tarball readme say? | 04:42 |
| rww | If I have 'screen' (the terminal multiplexer) running with a few splits in it, how do I remove just one? I know about Ctrl-a Q to remove all but the active one, but that's unhelpful when I want to get rid of one of five or six... | 04:42 |

| Senjai | Night everyone | 04:44 |
| arand | rww: or crtl+a + k rather | 04:44 |
| samuel | also, is there something like a rolling release in ubuntu? can i use testing or unstable in /etc/apt/sources.list instead of maverik, natty, etc? | 04:44 |
| rww | arand: that kills the program in the active window, doesn't it? | 04:44 |
| rww | samuel: no | 04:45 |

| zeromobi | lol, I would consider natty rolling, but you can give debian unstable a try and cherry pick experimental packages | 04:45 |
| rww | samuel: if you enjoy perpetual breakage, sure. | 04:45 |
| samuel | rww: actually, I do.... | 04:46 |
| zeromobi | isn't that the defination of rolling? | 04:46 |
| samuel | for some odd reason | 04:46 |
| rww | zeromobi: no | 04:46 |

| skutr3 | can anyone please help me with partitioning on installation please? | 05:10 |
| JeffCBR | i just clicked a link in a man page and my mind was blown | 05:10 |
| Tux123 | yeah i cracked a 3 char password, but it should work for everything else provided a good dictionary | 05:10 |
| beagle2___ | g_0_0: how do i access this 'universe'? | 05:10 |
| Nisstyre | Tux123, if you know what algorithm it uses and you have a newish nvidia card you can go much faster | 05:11 |
| Tux123 | yeah i know | 05:11 |
| Tux123 | I can use the GPU | 05:11 |
| g_0_0 | beagle2___, - see here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu | 05:11 |
| JeffCBR | it uses your GPU? | 05:11 |
| beagle2___ | i am rather new to linux, but am frustrated that apt-get worked on my other machine, where the only difference I can see is that that one used a dual-boot setup instead of a liveCD... | 05:11 |
| pitlimit | Can anyone tell me how to add color to my vim? It's missing | 05:11 |
| skutr3 | can someone help me with the partitioning part of the installation im getting a /root filesystem error | 05:11 |
| Nisstyre | JeffCBR, yes you can use a language called CUDA | 05:11 |
| Tux123 | I'm familiar wih CUDA | 05:11 |
| Nisstyre | it's a C like syntax # JeffCBR | 05:11 |
| Nisstyre | *@ | 05:12 |
| Aikar | arand: it was because i did apt-get install grub when i saw 'grub' didnt exists, which downgraded grub | 05:12 |
| Tux123 | thanks byw.. | 05:12 |
| JeffCBR | interesting. How much power is in those things? | 05:12 |
| Aikar | rebooted live cd and used grub-pc default with grub-install and its back to normal | 05:12 |
| KXTwo | Hello everyone | 05:12 |
| KXTwo | ubuntu novice here | 05:12 |
| KXTwo | had a question about swappiness | 05:12 |
| Aikar | im back in my os now yay, ill screw with windows at a lkater date | 05:12 |
| JeffCBR | I saw one at the comp store today that I don't think would actually fit in my case. | 05:12 |
| gaelfx | KXTwo: usually the swap partition should be double what your physical RAM is | 05:13 |
| ruan | i wish i could install ubuntu | 05:13 |
| KXTwo | I havent made a swap partition yet | 05:13 |
| JeffCBR | ruan, you have windows alreayd installed and you're trying to dual boot? | 05:13 |
| KXTwo | Im talking about the swappiness of the swap file | 05:13 |
| gaelfx | KXTwo: at the very least, a little larger | 05:13 |
| ruan | JeffCBR: it was | 05:14 |
| KXTwo | I read an article on how to "speed up ubuntu" it had me change the swappiness from 60 to 10 I wanted to see what you guys thought | 05:14 |
| JeffCBR | is it gone from the partition manager? | 05:14 |
| KXTwo | I do seem to be running somewhat faster | 05:14 |
| pitlimit | sorry, if my q is offtopic, but can anyone tell me how I can find out how to add color to vim? | 05:14 |
| g_0_0 | pitlimit, add - syntax on - to ~/vimrc | 05:14 |
| rww | KXTwo: I have tried changing swappiness. It made exactly zero difference on my system. | 05:14 |
| ruan | no, i installed ubuntu twice on the same partition, but couldnt boot | 05:14 |
| pitlimit | thank you i willl try | 05:14 |
| rww | KXTwo: your mileage may vary, especially if you're low on RAM. | 05:15 |
| KXTwo | I was also told to edit my inittab file but it doesnt even exist | 05:15 |
| ruan | then i made a new partition, and it still didn't work | 05:15 |
| KXTwo | rww I have 4 gigs lol | 05:15 |
| almoxarife | KXTwo: I never noticed a difference :( | 05:15 |
| rww | KXTwo: So do I, so... yeah. | 05:15 |
| g_0_0 | pitlimit, I meant ~/.vimrc | 05:15 |
| pitlimit | g_0_0: I don't have a vimrc... i have a viminfo... is that the same? | 05:15 |
| JeffCBR | I have 512 MB... :( | 05:15 |
| rww | KXTwo: Unless you're using a lot of memory for something, you won't be using a notable amount of swap space, so swappiness won't matter. | 05:15 |
| red2kic | KXTwo: Buy this. It'll speed up your linux experience. http://tinyurl.com/4s7uq4l | 05:15 |

| almoxarife | KXTwo: with 4gig also I don't bother with a swap , hibernate instead of suspend and no issues | 05:16 |
| KXTwo | I think the ubuntu article I read was outdated though | 05:16 |
| almoxarife | that was backwards? | 05:16 |
| g_0_0 | pitlimit, the file is ~/.vimrc - I made an error first time | 05:16 |
| pitlimit | but g_0_0 I don't have one | 05:16 |
| pitlimit | I have viminfo | 05:16 |
| KXTwo | should I change swappiness back to 60 or would you say it really doesnt matter | 05:17 |

| SleepyCow2 | but no traffic routes over it. Any suggestions? | 05:17 |
| gaelfx | KXTwo: well, I think the only place where you might notice any difference is if you're running a lot of different apps and changing between them pretty often | 05:17 |

| biopyte | hi, after login and klicking the ubuntu main menu icon there is a significant delay until the menu pops up. nothing important, but still annoying. is there a way to get rid of the delay? | 05:19 |
| gaelfx | ruan: not really, the whole point of wine is that you shouldn't need to install windows | 05:19 |
| ruan | KXTwo: i installed ubuntu off the livecd but it doesnt boot of the hdd after install | 05:19 |
| gaelfx | ruan: maybe you want a virtual machine running windows instead? | 05:19 |
| KXTwo | does it juts boot right into windows? | 05:19 |
| ruan | no it wiped windows | 05:20 |
| KXTwo | so you DONT want to do a dual boot? | 05:20 |

| gaelfx | ruan: have you looked at the boot sequence in your BIOS? | 05:20 |
| KXTwo | ruan what happens when you boot then? | 05:20 |
| ruan | gaelfx: yes i changed boot sequence to hdd first | 05:20 |
| Ben64 | ruan: you probably formatted on install, instead of resizing windows and dual booting | 05:20 |
| ruan | it does nothing at boot | 05:20 |
| KXTwo | yes ben thats what im thinking | 05:21 |
| KXTwo | Ruan I take it you are on another pc right now? | 05:21 |
| timewriter | jon_athon, im glad it solved your problem | 05:21 |
| ruan | no, im on my livecd | 05:21 |
| g_0_0 | pitlimit, if the vimrc isn't there create it | 05:21 |

| Ben64 | ruan: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 05:22 |

| uRock | nope, xchat is graphical as well | 05:28 |

| uRock | Moving the window buttons will be easy to find via google, lots of people cried about the change | 05:35 |

| KXTwo | they have been on the left side for over a decade | 05:36 |
| uRock | moving the buttons to the left | 05:36 |

| KXTwo | I remember back when I was running slackware, redhat, debian, with kde I believe the default was always the left | 05:36 |
| uRock | KXTwo, they were just moved to the left with 10.04 | 05:36 |
| elky | rww hah | 05:37 |
| rww | KDE's always had controls on the right by default. | 05:37 |
| uRock | The bug report on it was really funny to read. So many people were running to another distro because of it | 05:37 |
| KXTwo | maybe im wrong | 05:37 |
| rww | ditto Debian, and I think other GNOMEs. | 05:37 |
| KXTwo | and it has been a long time | 05:37 |
| KXTwo | but I swore I remember left hand controls, oh well its just another thing to play with. | 05:37 |

| shcherbak | gosh | 05:38 |
| Random832 | KXTwo: i think there was a version of KDE with the _close_ button on the left | 05:38 |
| uRock | the code name for 10.04 | 05:38 |
| p_res | KXTwo, I think it was an option you could set in KDE somewhere. I also remember that. | 05:38 |
| KXTwo | so lucid is ubuntu 10.4 | 05:38 |
| Random832 | KDE's "plain" themes have always supported rearranging | 05:38 |
| kish | hi.. i want to install wubi in windows.. i get a error when I double click the installer.. cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO.. | 05:38 |

| KXTwo | does X windows still exist, I remember that was a GUI I used on slackware back in the day I think | 05:40 |
| arand | KXTwo: If you go to System>Administration>System Monitor, on the first tab you will find the version number and codename of your release | 05:40 |

| uRock | EXT4 is greate | 05:40 |
| Random832 | KXTwo: "X windows" was never the proper name of it, and it's a generic term for the thing they _all_ run on | 05:40 |
| rww | partition table format != filesystem format. ext4 is a filesystem format ;P | 05:40 |

| uRock | gordian, unless you plan on doing more than four partitions, use primary | 05:45 |

| Jeffirssi | There are 1400 people in this channel?! | 05:49 |
| KXTwo | uRock: I have another weird question for you about how my harddrive is showing up under computer, I have a 500 gig harddrive with 3 visible partitions. one says 500 gig hd system(thats my win 7 restore one says 500 gig windows(obviously windows) and the other just says filesystem | 05:50 |
| KXTwo | whats that all about? | 05:50 |
| === slie is now known as StackSlip | ||
| StackSlip | exit | 05:50 |
| KXTwo | uRock: and for some reason its not showing a small boot partition that hp put on my drive, but it did when I used live cd and gpart or whatever the partition program is called | 05:51 |
| gaelfx | Filesystem is the ubuntu system files | 05:51 |
| soreau | gaelfx: Get Radeon HD series graphics card and it will. nvidia may also fair well with their proprietary driver | 05:51 |
| mmcji | when setting up bonding should i set eth interfaces onboot to yes or no? | 05:51 |
| KXTwo | yah gaelfx I know what they are just not why they are listed in such a funny way | 05:51 |
| andrew__ | anyone know where to look for answers to why my comp keeps crashing? | 05:51 |
| ejv | andrew__: logs | 05:52 |
| uRock | KXTwo the HP drive is hidden, therefore hidden? | 05:53 |
| andrew__ | ejv: got any in particular? | 05:53 |
| dtrf4837 | can someone tell me if root should be left uninstalled or not, instead of just telling me to do sudo? | 05:53 |
| satya | how to configure postfix to use gmail apps in ubuntu 10.04 | 05:53 |
| ^Phantom^ | Videos look like I'm at the theater | 05:53 |
| gaelfx | KXTwo: well, I believe the windows partitions are shown because they are not mounted by default, and they are outside of the linux part of the computer | 05:53 |
| uRock | dtrf4837, If you installed Ubuntu then root is installed | 05:53 |
| ^Phantom^ | they're all jittery and junk | 05:53 |
| KXTwo | yah I kind of realized that was stupid after I said it, but the rest of my question is valid lol | 05:53 |
| satya | how to configure postfix to use gmail apps in ubuntu 10.04 | 05:53 |
| uRock | !postfix > satya | 05:53 |
| ubottu | satya, please see my private message | 05:53 |
| uRock | !postfix > satya | 05:53 |
| uRock | !postfix > satya | 05:54 |
| KXTwo | gaelfx: no they are mounted | 05:54 |
| FloodBot2 | uRock: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:54 |
| gaelfx | haha, not a big deal | 05:54 |
| uRock | damn you floodbot | 05:54 |
| JeffCBR | Ok. | 05:54 |
| uRock | satya, did you get the PM? | 05:54 |
| KXTwo | maybe if I rephrase this, when I was running live cd, the partitions were listed as there actual size, but now the entire hd size is being listed instead, it makes it look like I have two 500 gig hd's when i dont, its one hd partitioned several times | 05:54 |
| JeffCBR | So, now that my machine is up and running, I'd like to connect remotely from Windows XP. :D | 05:54 |
| uRock | !postfix > satya | 05:55 |
| ubottu | satya, please see my private message | 05:55 |
| satya | uRock: no | 05:55 |
| ^Phantom^ | What causes videos to have that "theater jitter"? | 05:55 |
| dtrf4837 | uRock i thought i didnt have it installed because in terminal it said i didnt have it installed and also when i when to Administration > Users and Groups, root doesnt show up | 05:55 |
| uRock | !postfix | satya | 05:55 |
| ubottu | satya: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer | 05:55 |
| arand | dtrf4837: root is not something you install, root exists in ubuntu but has no password set and is thus unaccesible. | 05:55 |
| ^Phantom^ | Sometime's it's so bad it looks like I'm watching them at an old old old theater | 05:55 |
| ^Phantom^ | On an unbalanced projector | 05:55 |
| gaelfx | KXTwo: oooooooooooh, gotcha. Indeed, very strange | 05:55 |
| uRock | dtrf4837, the root account is not there for security reasons, it is not needed, use the sudo command to do root stuff | 05:56 |
| gaelfx | !root | dtrf4837 | 05:56 |
| ubottu | dtrf4837: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:56 |
| KXTwo | gaelfx: this might be a learningn opportunity, is there a simple way I could send you a screen shot? I thought I used to do tht on here back in the day | 05:56 |
| JeffCBR | By default, the root password hash is !. | 05:56 |
| arand | dtrf4837: This is setup so since sudo is used for all root tasks, do read the wiki for more info. | 05:56 |
| gaelfx | KXTwo: er, probably, but I can't remember how :P | 05:56 |

| gordian | hey guys, i was literally just in here when i was talking about my hard drive partition, and it just shut off the whole comp. | 06:00 |
| psycho_oreos | KXTwo, of course it will | 06:00 |
| JeffCBR | andrew__: CPUs can get to well over 120 degrees. | 06:00 |
| andrew__ | JeffCBR: you talking C or F | 06:01 |
| gordian | the pc wouldnt start up until i removed the sata power cable, think the hd is broken? | 06:01 |
| KXTwo | psycho_oreos: I take it that means you are a supporter? I really liked it on windows it was lite, and easy to use and I loved how easy it was to add to playlists | 06:01 |
| uRock | KXTwo, VLC is the only video player worth using in Ubuntu | 06:01 |
| JeffCBR | Not C! | 06:01 |
| JeffCBR | Jeez... | 06:01 |
| JeffCBR | F. | 06:01 |
| KXTwo | uRock: ahh that makes me feel better lol | 06:01 |
| andrew__ | JeffCBR: mines idling at 52 C... could that be why my comp keeps shuting off | 06:01 |
| OhioEric83 | hi all | 06:02 |
| JeffCBR | An overheating CPU can cause that. | 06:02 |
| uRock | 52 is not bad | 06:02 |
| gordian | or possibily a problem with gparted? | 06:02 |
| psycho_oreos | KXTwo, not a dedicated VLC supporter, I do use it every so often | 06:02 |
| JeffCBR | I don't know what 52 C is in F. | 06:02 |
| uRock | hi OhioEric83 | 06:02 |
| JeffCBR | But, it doesn't sound too high. | 06:02 |
| OhioEric83 | could someone tell me where I could download the latest alpha of 11.04? | 06:02 |
| andrew__ | JeffCBR: its ~120ish | 06:02 |
| KXTwo | uRock: ok heres another question. I am noticing a lot of programs, that you dont just download and install like you would with windows, but instead you install it right through unbuntu what is that all about? | 06:02 |
| ^Phantom^ | JeffCBR, i converted | 06:02 |

| OhioEric83 | oh | 06:03 |
| KXTwo | oh and another question, is there a way to turn off logging or whatever its called, im tired of seeing who has logged in and out | 06:03 |
| rww | uRock: You may want to read that factoid yourself. | 06:03 |
| JeffCBR | I would think that's not it, andrew__ . | 06:03 |
| rww | KXTwo: http://wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Hide_join_part_messages | 06:03 |
| arand | JeffCBR: Use screen/byobu, if in X/Gnome, ctrl+shift+t will get you a new tab in gnome-terminal. | 06:03 |
| OhioEric83 | uRock: i did google it. typical lolbuntu user | 06:03 |
| KXTwo | rww: thank you sir | 06:03 |
| andrew__ | JeffCBR: hmmm im running it without GUI and a minecraft server | 06:03 |
| OhioEric83 | rww: ty | 06:04 |
| uRock | KXTwo, they b called repos, this way you get all of the library files needed for the program to properly work with your system | 06:04 |
| JeffCBR | In the summer here in SoCal, I can overheat sometimes. | 06:04 |
| uRock | I guess ohio left | 06:04 |
| KXTwo | uRock: that is comletely new to me, when I played with lin ux back in the day you had to still download and install | 06:04 |
| JeffCBR | I used to have to make sure not to keep the CPU going at full bore for very long. | 06:04 |
| uRock | rww, I have read it | 06:05 |
| JeffCBR | andrew__: You CPU will get hotter with higher loads, obviously. | 06:05 |
| uRock | why he expected someone else to do it for him was beyond me | 06:05 |
| JeffCBR | Can you monitor the temperature and stress it? | 06:05 |
| andrew__ | JeffCBR: its my gfx card, i think | 06:05 |
| rww | uRock: Okay. Please elaborate on what a factoid about how telling people to Google things is impolite has to do with the location of 11.04 downloads. | 06:05 |
| andrew__ | not cpu, its the integrated card, yet i have a dedicated one | 06:05 |
| JeffCBR | Is the on board card disabled in bios? | 06:06 |
| uRock | rww, he was telling us to do the google for him | 06:06 |
| andrew__ | idk | 06:06 |
| JeffCBR | Check. | 06:06 |
| andrew__ | k | 06:06 |
| andrew__ | 1 sec | 06:06 |

| RAP_IS_CRAP | hi everyone, i'm not sure if i'm in the right place but i am trying to get rhythmbox working again | 06:08 |
| arand | JeffCBR: A terminal multiplexer ;) | 06:08 |
| uRock | bazhang, I'll just leave them hanging with silly questions like the one he asked, no problem | 06:08 |
| JeffCBR | arand: How do I cycle between the terminal tabs I create using Ctrl+Shift+T? | 06:08 |
| shcherbak | SleepyCow2: root crontab? | 06:09 |
| bazhang | uRock, there are no silly questions. Just don't answer if you so choose. | 06:09 |
| JeffCBR | That works for now. But, eventually, I'll be logging in via ssh. | 06:09 |

| ronaldX | is there a program like BSD watch for ubuntu? | 06:10 |
| ronaldX | please | 06:10 |
| cschneid | dtrf4837: also, make your passwords longer. 24chars... way better. :) | 06:10 |
| uRock | I just did the search and the daily release was at the top of the list http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=ubuntu+11.04+download | 06:10 |
| RAP_IS_CRAP | when i start rhythmbox it hangs and then it dims with no errors at all and i can't click on anything | 06:10 |
| JeffCBR | arand: Would a terminal multiplexer be appropriate for remote ssh access? | 06:10 |
| RAP_IS_CRAP | tanyone know how to fix it? | 06:10 |
| arand | JeffCBR: Screen is a terminal multiplexer, i.e. window manager, kind-of, byobu is a ubuntu default skin for screen | 06:10 |
| arand | JeffCBR: Very much so | 06:10 |
| ronaldX | RAP_IS_CRAP: sounds like it's freezing up buddy | 06:10 |
| RAP_IS_CRAP | yeah | 06:11 |
| JeffCBR | Ah. :D | 06:11 |
| rww | uRock: Good. It's easy for you to link people directly to the daily release page if you forget its URL. | 06:11 |
| RAP_IS_CRAP | you know how to fix that? | 06:11 |
| dtrf4837 | cschneid you mean thats not a good password? | 06:11 |
| cschneid | dtrf4837: it's certainly not bad. But at the point you have non-memorable passwords, might as well go all-out | 06:11 |
| ronaldX | is there a program like BSD watch for ubuntu? | 06:11 |
| RAP_IS_CRAP | i tried reinstalling it with same results | 06:11 |
| KXTwo | this package manager is totally new to me I have to do some research on this | 06:11 |
| ronaldX | RAP_IS_CRAP: you should try vlc wor w/e | 06:11 |
| Dark_Oppressor | Ah, never mind. In case anyone saw my question, it's being addressed by YokoZar | 06:11 |
| rww | ubottu: repeat | ronaldX | 06:11 |

| dtrf4837 | is the password for Synaptic Package Manager supposed to be different from my username password? it keeps saying incorrect password | 06:42 |
| KXTwo | is caps on? | 06:42 |
| KXTwo | its your admin pw | 06:42 |
| arand | JeffCBR: All systems have (well... basically) | 06:42 |
| ilon | why am i sitting here 7.42 in the morning? :S | 06:42 |
| rww | ilon: we're addicting | 06:43 |
| Chipzzz | JeffCBR: yes, Ubuntu always boots from grub... press shift while the machine is booting | 06:43 |
| JeffCBR | Well, anyway, I want this system to boot to a console by default. | 06:43 |
| ilon | rww: i like helping ppl >_< | 06:43 |
| dtrf4837 | KXTwo my username password is the only password i can remember setting | 06:43 |
| arand | JeffCBR: But I do not think grub options help in this case | 06:43 |
| ilon | JeffCBR: do you want X at all? | 06:43 |
| KXTwo | hmm what else to install, wonder if there is a good porn program in the software center! haha | 06:43 |
| JeffCBR | I want it sometimes. | 06:44 |
| KXTwo | dtrf4837, that is the pw then | 06:44 |
| uRock | dtrf4837, your password is the root password | 06:44 |
| JeffCBR | But, normally, no. | 06:44 |
| redGoat | KXTwo: Search for it -- I think there actually are one package (in mediabuntu) | 06:44 |
| JeffCBR | dtrf4837: There is no root password on a new install of ubuntu. | 06:44 |
| ilon | uRock: nononono, the user password IS NOT the root pw, but the first user created is in the admin group tho | 06:44 |
| dtrf4837 | so what am i supposed to type when synaptic package manager asks for password? all i have is my username password | 06:45 |
| uRock | ilon, same difference | 06:45 |
| coz_ | dtrf4837, that's what you type | 06:45 |
| ilon | uRock: no | 06:45 |
| coz_ | dtrf4837, same password you log in to the system with | 06:46 |
| ilon | uRock: root is an actual user, admin is a group with the rights to administrate the system, HUGE differense | 06:46 |
| dtrf4837 | coz then why does it say its incorrect password...i never have problem with it when i'm logging in | 06:46 |
| Chipzzz | dtrf4837: root and the first user start out with the same password but can change them independently later | 06:46 |
| JeffCBR | dtrf4837: Check your caps lock key. | 06:46 |
| Intrepid | dtrf4837, is there another account? | 06:47 |
| ilon | dtrf4837: try typing the password in a a terminal tp see that you keymap is correct and all | 06:47 |
| coz_ | dtrf4837, that one I dont know... as JeffCBR mentione check caps lock key | 06:47 |
| JeffCBR | Chipzzz: I don't believe that's the case with ubuntu. | 06:47 |
| yphoho | how can i scroll the window in irssi? | 06:47 |
| uRock | ilon, I see what you are saying, but conceptually I think of my admin account as being root, because I have the power | 06:47 |
| coz_ | dtrf4837, generall I disable caps lock key and replace it with another ctrl key | 06:47 |
| dtrf4837 | Intrepid i initially installed server then installed desktop from command line...could that cause it? | 06:47 |

| dtrf4837 | my capslock is off | 06:48 |
| ilon | uRock: to use something and to own something is different, but yes, you have the means to do about everything with your useraccount thats in the admin group | 06:49 |
| Intrepid | really if you installed the desktop, then it's the same password for that | 06:49 |
| Chipzzz | JeffCBR: I haven't done it but in sudo su you should be able to change root's & in a regular shell your own | 06:49 |

| Ycarene | Well, the video plays the first second of sound, and shows the first frame, then sits there with the little circle in the middle, which is frozen, then about 30 seconds later the audio picks up at where it would be if it had not frozen, and it shows the second frame. If I manually click the progress bar and bring it back to the beginning, it works, but I can't click any of the links in the video window when its finished. | 06:55 |
| Intrepid | Ycarene, that's pretty strange, haven't had that yet | 06:55 |
| coz_ | Ycarene, put the video on pause untill the buffer completes | 06:55 |

Am I missing a package or something? | 07:04 |
| Intrepid | dtrf4837, if you mean for the OS, then i doubt it, just because normally that would mean that you wouldn't be able to install... | 07:04 |

| powergood | plz help me!! | 07:07 |

| toloykhan | hi, i need to know where is the iptables log stored, the statement is: $IPTABLES -A TCPF_CHECK -p tcp --tcp-flags ALL FIN,URG,PSH -m limit \ | 07:08 |

| toloykhan | --limit 5/minute -j LOG --log-level 7 --log-prefix "NMAP-CHECK:" | 07:08 |

| arand | maco2: JeffCBR: Ah, right, yea, there might not be a gui way to configure it then. | 07:09 |
| coz_ | choices, this is a painful way but take a look http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/ps2eps.1.html | 07:09 |
| uRock | dissipate, I can't find the ubuntu doc on doing the encrypted install, but I have used it in the past and it is offered when you get to the partitioning setup | 07:09 |
| maco2 | JeffCBR: i have System -> Preferences -> STartup Applications | 07:09 |
| maco2 | JeffCBR: that has a Startup Programs tab in which a list of things to start at login are visible, and an Add button | 07:10 |
| JeffCBR | Yes, but I don't see a way to turn off Gnome in there. | 07:10 |

| JeffCBR | I guess I could just remove the package? | 07:10 |
| Ycarene | coz_ - Ahh, that did it, for some reason firefox was using gnash instead of the adobe plugin. | 07:10 |
| maco2 | JeffCBR: OOOOH. i see what you mean. thats for configuring what to run *after you login to gnome* | 07:10 |
| maco2 | JeffCBR: so you want to just go to a text login? remove gdm | 07:10 |
| coz_ | Ycarene, there you go | 07:10 |
| Intrepid | dtrf4837, i would say pretty weird, never had that happened, that youtube problem Yc is having might be slightly stranger | 07:10 |
| dissipate | uRock, thanks for trying to find it. i'm looking at this right now: http://joernfranz.wordpress.com/2011/01/20/installing-ubuntu-10-10-with-full-disk-encryption/ | 07:10 |
| choices | coz_, that worked! | 07:11 |
| uRock | dissipate, this page covers all of the cool stuff you can do with partitioning to include encryption https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/installation-guide/i386/module-details.html#di-partition | 07:11 |
| JeffCBR | Well... I want to have gdm there when I need it. | 07:11 |
| Ycarene | coz_ - That's strange, I installed gnash as an afterthought months ago, I wonder why it started using it over adobe, oh well, my own fault. | 07:11 |
| choices | coz_, surely there has to be something i can install that will fix that | 07:11 |
| maco2 | JeffCBR: you could edit gdm's script then | 07:11 |
| dissipate | uRock, cool, thanks! | 07:11 |
| JeffCBR | Ok, maco. | 07:11 |
| JeffCBR | Where is it? | 07:11 |

| coz_ | choices, they seem to open in gimp but that is also painful so hold on | 07:14 |
| JeffCBR | and putty in Windows | 07:15 |
| JeffCBR | ? | 07:15 |
| coz_ | choices, I believe ps2pdf will convert it to pdf | 07:15 |
| choices | coz_, ok cool....maybe I can can install gsview 4.9 from source or rig up a wrapper app to convert it and open it on the fly | 07:15 |
| coz_ | choices, possibly | 07:16 |
| choices | coz_, unfortuantely ps2pdf changes the dimensions ever so slightly, and we're printing onto a form | 07:16 |

| hilarie | Is there anything in server edition, that isn't in desktop? for my server that I am going to be setting up, couldn't I just install desktop edition in leu of server edition, or would there be essential things missing? | 07:16 |
| maco2 | JeffCBR: so to double check: you dont want gdm to run by default, but you want the option to start it manually? | 07:17 |
| JeffCBR | yeah, I'd like to be able to just hit startx | 07:17 |
| === matiu is now known as Guest27603 | ||

| Guest27603 | hey guys, I'm trying to get my Dell v715w printer going .. anyone know if there's like a cups ppd file for it or something ? | 07:17 |
| folklore | hlp cc nor gcc locate anything in the software center | 07:17 |
| maco2 | JeffCBR: but to disable without removing it, i think commenting out the "start on" and its associated chunks of parentheses in /etc/init/gdm.conf should do it | 07:18 |
| choices | coz_, oh i guess it is...but that is what works on our windows computers | 07:18 |

| choices | coz_, yeah...i'll see if theres an option in gv i'm missing | 07:21 |
| coz_ | choices, also visit the ##linux channel... someone there may have some other solutions | 07:21 |
| arand | JeffCBR: it will then stop at the boot splash screen, so you'll ned to press ctrl+alt+F2 to login, and you'll have the purple bakground, but disabling the splash might take care of that | 07:21 |
| choices | coz_, thank you so much for your help | 07:21 |

| JeffCBR | How about remote desktop? | 07:24 |
| dtrf4837 | if i click on Terminal > Reset and Clear, isn't that supposed to automatically let me type a new command? i still have to type ctrl + c each time? | 07:24 |
| YouKay | Hey guys, will "cd /var/cache/apt/archives && sudo rm *.*" clean the cache up? I mean, will it be advisable to do so? | 07:24 |
| maco2 | dtrf4837: that just clears the screen | 07:24 |
| rww | YouKay: do "sudo apt-get clean" instead. | 07:25 |
| maco2 | YouKay: sudo apt-get clean would do | 07:25 |
| dtrf4837 | maco2 what about when i click just 'Reset'...that doesn't seem to do anything? | 07:25 |
| maco2 | dtrf4837: ctrl+c ends the previous command. i think you want to use & after your commands in order to background them and therefore make it available for more commands | 07:25 |
| YouKay | rww: maco2: Oh, much appreciated. Thanks, it seems better | 07:25 |
| === blazie0 is now known as blaize | ||

| bluepicaso | hello everyone | 07:50 |
| bluepicaso | I'm kinda new | 07:50 |
| bluepicaso | and have some queries | 07:51 |
| masai47 | Hello, I am trying to install edubuntu on a brand new computer with no prior OS. I have a bootable USB that works on other computers, but in this computer I get a "boot error" message and nothing else. Does anyone have any ideas on cause, and solution? | 07:52 |
| red2kic | bluepicaso: Ask away. | 07:52 |
| bluepicaso | hey red2kic | 07:52 |
| red2kic | !hi | bluepicaso | 07:53 |
| metalwolf|L | masai47, do you know if the computer allows usb boot? | 07:53 |
| bluepicaso | I would like to know if it would be any chance to use gnome3 with new ubuntu11 | 07:53 |
| bluepicaso | I dont want to use unity, New gnome3 looks awesome and more friendly | 07:54 |
| _skpl | bluepicaso: try gnome-shell | 07:54 |
| ugur | is openjdk in the repos stable enough? Or should i install proprietary oracle jdk? | 07:54 |
| ardchoille | Blue1: the gnome you know will still be available | 07:54 |
| bluepicaso | really | 07:54 |
| masai47 | Metalwolf|l: it is brand new, and when I go to boot options it allows me to select the usb | 07:54 |
| ardchoille | bluepicaso: yes, and gnome-shell is in the repos now | 07:55 |
| metalwolf|L | hmm, it should work then, so either something is wrong with the board or the stick | 07:55 |
| metalwolf|L | i would try it on another system and if it works then i would probably try a boot manager | 07:55 |
| bluepicaso | I mean i'm still with 10.10. and new version has unity as default. | 07:56 |
| ardchoille | bluepicaso: me too, but the regular gnome will still be available in 11.04 | 07:56 |
| masai47 | metalwolf|L: shall I pull out another computer and check? (setting up a computer lab and its a bit over my head) I had no problem booting into the live environment on the USB on my netbook a few minutes ago | 07:56 |
| bluepicaso | ok archoille | 07:56 |
| masai47 | Metalwolf|L: what do you mean by boot manager? | 07:57 |
| bluepicaso | archoille | so with new version i just have to update gnome? | 07:57 |
| metalwolf|L | so im guessing this isnt a home setup then | 07:57 |
| bluepicaso | i mean with new version of ubuntu? | 07:57 |
| metalwolf|L | when im using a system that doesnt allow booting with usb i use a boot manager called plop | 07:58 |
| ardchoille | bluepicaso: it will be in the repos at the very least. Have you tried Unity yet? I ran it for a week and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be | 07:58 |
| Taffy | masai47: i can't help you but just to let you know i had that problem before on a usb-stick running it as a live boot then trying to install it on a different computer the usb-stick didn't work anymore had to reinstall the OS again | 07:58 |
| metalwolf|L | you put in the usb stick and plop cd | 07:58 |
| Ve2 | How can I get Ubuntu server to install from a USB DVD Drive? | 07:58 |
| bluepicaso | archoille no i haven't but i have seen the screenshots and unity does not have great reviews | 07:58 |
| Park7 | ve2: cant u use unetbootin? | 08:00 |
| ardchoille | bluepicaso: those bad reviews are likely from people who used the old unity, which was based on mutter, and the new unity (based on compiz) is much faster and more complete. I talked with Mark Shuttleworth and he said their still polishing it | 08:00 |
| Park7 | oh read that wrong sorry | 08:01 |
| bluepicaso | umm ok archoille | 08:01 |
| mufasis | i have an hp proliant dl320 server, i just tried installing ubuntu server edition 10.04 and i selected to use the raid that it detected but when i got to installing the bootloader it said it could not install to /dev/sda | 08:01 |
| Ve2 | Park7, what is that? | 08:01 |
| bluepicaso | so we can always switch from unity to gnome? | 08:01 |
| Park7 | thought you said thumb drive | 08:01 |
| Ve2 | No, usb dvd drive. | 08:01 |
| Ve2 | My server doesn't have a dvd drive. | 08:01 |
| mufasis | anyone?> | 08:01 |
| ardchoille | bluepicaso: regular gnome will still be available in 11.04 | 08:02 |
| Ve2 | I'm using a usb dvd drive to boot & the instaler loads and then fails saying it cant find media | 08:02 |
| anr78 | is there a (test) version of the Ubuntu Monospace font somewhere? | 08:02 |
| Ve2 | which is the same for any other linux distro | 08:02 |
| Park7 | my eyes are tired... well every bios should have a boot options menu, so when you activate it, you can boot from you usb device...ie your dvd drive | 08:02 |
| Ve2 | :/ | 08:03 |
| Ve2 | I said it is booting from the disc. | 08:03 |
| eoss | What happens when the mayan calendar ends? | 08:03 |
| Ve2 | The issue is the installer does not work with usb dvd drives. | 08:03 |
| Park7 | oh...wow crazy | 08:03 |
| Ve2 | I am wondering if there are some boot options I need to use or something. | 08:03 |
| Ve2 | eoss: the mayams are extinct mostly so I doubt they will mind. | 08:03 |
| mufasis | is anyone here familiar with hp proliant servers? | 08:04 |
| Ve2 | I am a little bit. | 08:04 |
| eoss | will the magnetic poles shift? | 08:04 |
| bluepicaso | archoille i'm sorry i may sound foolish, its jjust few months with linux. so its like gnome will be there as always with unity. and we can choose while upgrading or install? | 08:04 |

| Park7 | if your burned dvd is flagged bootable, it should be no problem. i'm wondering if you should try installing from a usb stick using unetbootin just to see if your dvd drive isnt allowing boot for some reason | 08:06 |
| bluepicaso | archoille please dont get irritated :( | 08:06 |
| Ve2 | I don't think you understand the issue | 08:06 |
| Ve2 | It is booting from the dvd drive & loading the installer. | 08:06 |
| Park7 | aah, then? | 08:06 |
| Ve2 | As in it gets the load screen for ubu | 08:07 |
| Taffy | ConcreteVitamin q to quit or exit back to prompt$ | 08:07 |
| Ve2 | After that, it fails & says it cannot find the media. | 08:07 |
| Ve2 | So linux is not loading modules for my usb dvd drive | 08:07 |
| Ve2 | At least I assume that is it. | 08:07 |
| ConcreteVitamin | Ve2: thanks. | 08:07 |
| Ve2 | NP. | 08:07 |
| alsuna | ve2: can you start the ubuntu server as a live cd without installing? | 08:08 |
| masai47 | I am getting the same boot error on another machine (with the same hardware setup) but I know this USB live environment works on other computers. I have a problem that I am working on a netbook so I dont have a CD drive. Do you think I should try something like basic ubuntu and see if I can then burn some CDs (on the new computers)? | 08:08 |
| ConcreteVitamin | Taffy: thanks! | 08:08 |
| masai47 | metalwolf|L: so if I use a boot manager what would I do? (you also asked about the environment, it will be pretty close to a home environment, just basic edubuntu install on 4 machines that are not networked in any way) | 08:08 |
| Jordan_U | Ve2: You can work around the problem by using the minimal / netinstall iso. Everything is contained in the initrd, so no native drivers for the CD drive are needed. | 08:08 |
| Taffy | NP i'm just observing and learning what i can | 08:08 |
| Ve2 | I've tried with a fedora netisnt disc and it didn't work. | 08:08 |
| Ve2 | Would ubuntu-server be different? | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | Ve2: *aren't needed | 08:09 |
| Ve2 | Also I was using the minimal install. | 08:09 |
| foldink | hi all | 08:09 |
| ConcreteVitamin | What does "." before the file (of course as well as directory) name imply? | 08:09 |
| metalwolf|L | masai47, a boot manager acts somewhat like grub | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | Ve2: What was the exact error message you saw? | 08:09 |
| Ve2 | con-man, : the file will be hidden. | 08:10 |
| speedy | Inside of System -- Preferences --- System Settings there is a mapping key for Ctrl-r or F5 for refreshing the desktop but can't find out how to add to right Click "Context Menu" any know how to add it | 08:10 |
| metalwolf|L | you boot into it and it will give you a menu of devices you want to boot into | 08:10 |
| Ve2 | Jordan_U, it's the standard cannot find boot media error. | 08:10 |
| Ve2 | It's funny because I can verify the disk | 08:10 |
| Ve2 | But as soon as I go to install | 08:10 |
| bluepicaso | aok so I'm ignored just coz i was stupid to ask questions | 08:10 |
| Ve2 | it wont let me. | 08:10 |

| juk | is gmail down? | 08:11 |
| Ve2 | I know it doesn't make any sense. | 08:11 |
| Ve2 | But the thing is I have tried ubu serverminimal | 08:11 |
| Ve2 | as well as normal ubu 10.04 | 08:11 |
| Ve2 | and fedora 14 | 08:11 |
| Ve2 | & will try centos 5.5 soon | 08:11 |

| Ve2 | http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/releases/10.04.1/ubuntu-10.04.1-server-i386.iso | 08:13 |
| Ve2 | This one | 08:13 |
| Ve2 | so not minimal | 08:13 |
| Ve2 | ConcreteVitamin, that was directed at you. period before filename indicates it wont show up in nautilus etc unless you elect to show hidden files. | 08:13 |
| bluepicaso | Ve2, since gnome will me available with ubutnu11.04. what will be the default interface, gnome or unity after the upgrade from 10.10? | 08:14 |
| Ve2 | Your question has already been answered, bluepicaso. | 08:14 |
| _skpl | how come unity doesnt work on ubuntu 10.10? anyone know? | 08:14 |
| red2kic | Ve2: You want minimal? There are 12MB iso on the servers. | 08:14 |
| Ve2 | Unity will be the default, gnome will still be available. | 08:14 |
| Ve2 | Yes but if the fedora minimal disc doesn't boot, will ubu-server? | 08:15 |
| Ve2 | Just worried about burning moar coasters | 08:15 |
| Ve2 | is all. | 08:15 |
| bluepicaso | Ve2 | so how could i switch and upgrade to gnome3? | 08:15 |
| Ve2 | It's not even out yet. | 08:15 |
| red2kic | Ve2: I don't know. In my past experience, Fedora Desktop was flaky when it comes to my laptop. | 08:15 |
| Ve2 | How should I know. | 08:15 |
| bluepicaso | Ve2 i know but | 08:16 |
| bluepicaso | i'm afraid | 08:16 |
| _skpl | haha | 08:16 |
| Ve2 | Then don't upgrade. | 08:16 |
| bluepicaso | I found gnome3 more awesome that unity | 08:16 |
| bluepicaso | lol | 08:16 |
| Ve2 | You haven't seen unity. | 08:16 |
| Ve2 | It's not released yet. | 08:16 |

| ardchoille | bluepicaso: gnome-shell is in the repos now, I'm sure it will be in the repos for 11.04. You're worrying yourself over something trivial :) | 08:17 |
| _skpl | gnome3 comes out the same month as 11.04, right? | 08:17 |

| juk | cyberdharma: what? | 08:30 |
| ardchoille | masai47: I used to do custom partitioning but have found that the defaults are quite nice. Why do all that work if there's no real need? | 08:30 |
| cyberdharma | the oreilly link you sent me. i followed it. it didn't work. | 08:31 |
| Mike__ | hi! Yesterday, i've installed ubuntu server, on my small home server, without internet conf. At tasksel i've checked the openssh server option. My problem is that, when i've bringed home the system, and plugged on the net, started, it doesn't gets up on the router. I don't have a monitor, so this is very difficult, to know what is the problem. Somebody can help ? | 08:31 |
| juk | cyberdharma: ah, link or solution didn't work? | 08:31 |
| YankDownUnder | ardchoille, I do it because "then I know for sure" - I've always had a particular preference for setting up my disks and where swaps are and how things are mounted - aside from the fact that I have preferences to particular filesystems - and it certainly doesn't hurt to LOOK at what the partitioning scheme is when you're new to the entire show...helps to understand how the disk is used by the system. | 08:32 |
| masai47 | ardchoille: Thanks, that is what I was thinking. The next school I am going to is where it is really complicated because I want to have all the computers save /home on a central server and boot off of that, but they would also be thick clients (I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to this stuff) | 08:32 |
| ardchoille | YankDownUnder: Very true | 08:32 |
| ardchoille | masai47: ok, then you might take a look at the link juk posted | 08:33 |

| Mike__ | juk: yes! | 08:34 |
| ardchoille | YankDownUnder: I've been using Ubuntu since 5.04 (April 2005) and used to do my own partitioning. Lately I've just been lazy and let Ubuntu do it :) | 08:34 |
| juk | Mike__: can you ping to router? | 08:34 |
| CRC_ | Jordan_U: Ok I just was wondering. I have ssh configured properly but how do I log into my ssh threw windows platform? | 08:34 |
| Mike__ | juk: i don't have monitor so this is a diffcult question. | 08:35 |
| YankDownUnder | ardchoille, Hehehehehe...yeah - I sometimes do that when I'm not really bothering with a particular machine...however, if the machine is going to live here permanently, then I'm extremely anal about how it's setup... | 08:35 |
| silverlightning | do you know if the latest ubuntu edition have solved issues with cooling fan? | 08:35 |

| Bartzy | juk: gzip -c /var/log/backup.log > /net/my_server/backup/backup.log-`date +\%H\%M`.gz | 09:18 |
| Bartzy | juk: Any idea why it's giving me Input/Output error ? | 09:19 |
| Blorg28 | amit: and next time use deluser --remove-home when deleting a user | 09:19 |
| sunhao | o | 09:19 |
| juk | Bartzy: you doing literally? | 09:19 |
| ardchoille | Bartzy: why are you escaping the %H and %M? | 09:19 |
| Bartzy | ardchoille: Because I run it in cron | 09:19 |
| Bartzy | and cron treats '%' like a newline | 09:19 |

| amit | ok | 09:22 |
| Blorg28 | ConcreteVitamin: you want to quit irssi ? | 09:22 |
| Ve2 | Ctrl + C ? | 09:23 |
| Bartzy | juk: Any idea ? Maybe I should save the gzipped file locally and copy it with cp -f to the NFS share ? | 09:23 |
| Ve2 | or /quit? | 09:23 |
| ConcreteVitamin | Blorg28: Not exactly. I sure know how to do so, but I'd like to know the general-case solution. | 09:23 |
| [deXter] | It's never too late to quit irssi. Talk to your local support group for more assistance. Think about your family. | 09:23 |
| Ve2 | ConcreteVitamin, ctrl C exits most command line programs | 09:23 |
| Blorg28 | [deXter]: lol | 09:23 |
| Blorg28 | ConcreteVitamin: there is no general case. Use the way the softwar you are runing want. It's cleaner | 09:24 |
| rooks | im quite happy to quit irssi for xchat-gnome :P | 09:24 |
| ConcreteVitamin | Ve2: /quit is a IRC command, not one of Linux. | 09:24 |
| ConcreteVitamin | Blorg28: Okay. THanks. | 09:24 |
| youknowh1 | hi | 09:24 |
| youknowh1 | After an ubuntu update, my super+KP shortcuts stopped working | 09:24 |
| Ve2 | /quit should work in irssi also. | 09:24 |
| ardchoille | it does | 09:25 |
| Blorg28 | Ve2: /quit is the way to cleanly exit irssi, yes | 09:25 |

| ikonia | Bartzy: no need for sorry, it's a reasonable question | 09:45 |
| adub | rumpel to make the drive bootable | 09:45 |
| rumpe1 | adub, linux doesn't care about boot-flags... thats windows | 09:45 |
| adub | rumpel ok in that case i can only pray that it boots | 09:45 |

| ljsoftnet | Jordan_U: where do i put the script? | 09:52 |
| kiwidood | Hey would it be possible to install ubuntu to a formated partition from windows? I don't have any CD/DVD to burn the iso to and no flash drive to boot it from | 09:52 |
| Metallico | is there any way i could get my data back? | 09:53 |
| Jordan_U | ljsoftnet: Anywhere will work. If you want to use it often you might want to put it in ~/bin (create that directory if it doesn't already exist). | 09:53 |

| ljsoftnet | Jordan_U: do i put it on a empty file? | 09:55 |
| rumpe1 | kiwidood, well ... it certainly is possible, but i would not recommend it. Why not try ubuntu in a virtual machine? | 09:55 |
| brontosaurusrex | Jordan_U: and ~/bin is automagically on the system path for that user i assume? | 09:55 |
| kiwidood | alsuna yes, but I don't want to install ubuntu from within windows itself | 09:55 |
| kiwidood | I want to install ubuntu to its own partition | 09:56 |
| Jordan_U | brontosaurusrex: Yes (though it's only added to $PATH if it exists when you log in). | 09:56 |
| kiwidood | rumpe1, my laptop couldn't handle it unfortunately | 09:56 |
| llutz_ | brontosaurusrex: grep bin ~/.profile | 09:56 |
| brontosaurusrex | Jordan_U: ok | 09:56 |
| Jordan_U | ljsoftnet: Yes. Name it something like "undelflv" and make sure that its permissions are set to allow execution. | 09:57 |
| alsuna | kiwidood: yes that's exactly what that installer will do: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 09:57 |
| brontosaurusrex | llutz: i see | 09:57 |
| kiwidood | alsuna oh? I always thought it actually installed itself in the NTFS partition with wubi | 09:58 |
| Jordan_U | kiwidood: It does. | 09:58 |
| kiwidood | And that's what I don't want to happen | 09:58 |
| rumpe1 | kiwidood, it creates a container-file on ntfs and uses it as a virtual drive *afaik* | 09:59 |
| kiwidood | I want to somehow install ubuntu to a ex3 partition from within windows | 09:59 |
| kiwidood | not sure if it can be done though | 09:59 |
| wildbat | kiwidood: don't use wubi then | 09:59 |
| Jordan_U | kiwidood: It can, but not easily (probably not worth it). | 09:59 |
| kiwidood | Hey would it be possible to install ubuntu to a formated partition from windows? I don't have any CD/DVD to burn the iso to and no flash drive to boot it from | 09:59 |
| ljsoftnet | Jordan_U: so il just run the file, and start streaming the flash video? | 09:59 |
| kiwidood | ^ | 09:59 |
| rumpe1 | kiwidood, a agree with Jordan_U ... it will be too complicated. Windows alone is just too stupid for this task. | 10:00 |
| Jordan_U | ljsoftnet: Load the video, wait for it to be completely downloaded, then run the script to copy the video file into /tmp/ where you can access it. | 10:00 |
| triptec | I just compiled and installed a lib into /usr/local/lib, but it doesn't showup when I run ldconfig -p.. how to fix? | 10:00 |

| kiwidood | rumpe1 this does not scare me in the slightest tbh | 10:01 |

| m|kael | hello, i installed ubuntu server for the first time and i have some troubles getting apache starting. i get the error ${APACHE_RUN_USER} | 10:01 |
| kiwidood | rumpe1 with great difficulty, but that is not a worry for me | 10:02 |
| alsuna | kiwidood: i think the easiest must be to get a usb stick and boot from that, if your bios supports that | 10:02 |
| Jordan_U | kiwidood: If you want to try the challenge look at Wubi's source code to see how they load grub from ntldr/bcd, then create your own grub.cfg with an entry to loop boot an Ubuntu iso: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg | 10:02 |
| triptec | or actually the compile and linking of the program I'm compiling works but when I run it is cant find the shared object... | 10:02 |
| juk | m|kael: just run apachectl start | 10:03 |

| ljsoftnet | Jordan_U ok | 10:22 |
| Kpullotron | i'm thinking about migrating to ubuntu | 10:22 |
| juk | clu3: sing? sorry im not mind reader | 10:23 |
| YankDownUnder | I migrate heaps of folks to Ubuntu from Microsoft. They're mostly quite happy with the change. | 10:23 |

| ubottu | Kpullotron: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 10:23 |
| Kpullotron | ubuntu is it good for a shop? | 10:23 |
| Kpullotron | i mean it has all the needed software | 10:23 |
| Kpullotron | ? | 10:23 |
| YankDownUnder | Kpullotron, For what? Using POS? Using accounting? Inventory? | 10:23 |
| Kpullotron | yes | 10:23 |
| YankDownUnder | Ok...here's the go: there are heaps of POS programs, inventory programs and accounting programs - for many different types of "stores" - just a matter of making a list of what you're going to need, how it suits you, and that's all she wrote. | 10:24 |
| adub | ok i just install ubuntu 10.10 and i have a screen full of just big blocks of pixels....ctrl alt backspace or ctrl alt f1 does not kick me to a prompt this does this on live distro i had to use the alternate to install if i use a boot disk to just get a shell could i dmesg to tell what the hell is going on | 10:24 |
| adub | i wouldnt think so since im using a disk to boot to a prompt but what do i know | 10:25 |
| clu3 | juk, my computer got error after the screen saver? heh, you might have forgotten, we just talked a few mins ago | 10:25 |
| adub | is there anyway to troubleshoot this | 10:25 |
| juk | clu3: ah | 10:25 |
| speedy_ | its not that one OS better than the other its a choice of prefernces and the ease of customizing to the users taste so Ubuntu or any Linux can be modified... Windows cannot at least at the heart of the os make sense dunno | 10:26 |

| thrope | is there a log somewhere i can see which packages caused it | 10:34 |
| YankDownUnder | clu3, If you can at least login to the console, then at least you're getting somewhere. When you're booting, have you tried to just hit enter and read some of the parameters that you can pass the kernel prior to booting into the system to see if that might help you get some type of graphical interface? | 10:35 |
| clu3 | YankDownUnder, when i switch to terminal (ctrl + alt + F1) i'm presented with ubuntu@ubuntu. It doesn't ask me to login. If booting without the live CD, i haven't tried what you said yet.. | 10:37 |
| YankDownUnder | clu3, Give it a go. There are several params that can be passed to the kernel to possibly get you to a graphical desktop mate. | 10:37 |
| === root is now known as Guest9721 | ||
| clu3 | YankDownUnder, you mean when booting without the CD, right? | 10:38 |
| speedy_ | Apologies to whom I offended on previous post it was not meant to be | 10:38 |
| YankDownUnder | Guest9721, Mate, it's truly NOT a good idea to login to IRC as root mate. Truly. Very bad, and very bad taste. | 10:38 |
| pasadefrance | hi there :) | 10:38 |

| adub | yankdownunder i cant | 10:40 |
| YankDownUnder | adub, Eh? | 10:40 |
| Guest9721 | hi all | 10:40 |
| adub | my screeen is just full of blocky pixels and i cant ctrl alt f1 or backspace to get a prompt i dont think if i use any boot disk that dmesg will net me anything | 10:40 |
| adub | ya my video is jacked | 10:41 |
| adub | i seen on a forum where others where reporting the same problem but some could disable onboard video people that have my graphics card | 10:41 |
| YankDownUnder | Guest9721, Please, do NOT login to IRC as the root user. It's extremely dangerous, and it's extremely bad form. | 10:41 |
| clu3 | YankDownUnder, in deed, i think it's the CD problem, I just cleaned it ( a little more) and now i'm in the live CD :) | 10:41 |
| adub | i have no onboard video | 10:41 |
| clu3 | GUI interface i mean | 10:41 |
| brontosaurusrex | i need a life without adobe. | 10:41 |
| YankDownUnder | adub, Have you tried disabling the onboard graphics card in your BIOS? | 10:41 |
| adub | i do not have onboard graphics | 10:42 |
| YankDownUnder | clu3, Coolbeans mate. | 10:42 |
| YankDownUnder | adub, What do ya got? | 10:42 |
| adub | geforce gt 240 works fine with 10.04 | 10:42 |
| speedy_ | adub, video card issue try anoter system if available and repeat your process on that machine | 10:42 |
| adub | but even tried just updating | 10:42 |
| adub | speedy_ so your saying just dont use 10.10 | 10:42 |
| YankDownUnder | adub, What is the graphics driver you're using? | 10:43 |
| speedy_ | adub have access to anoher video card | 10:43 |
| adub | speedy_ no i do not | 10:43 |
| padi999 | I have the visual effects enabled in ubuntu but I can't figure out where the settings are! Like keyboardshortcuts for changing wobbly windows style etc. | 10:43 |
| adub | so 10.10 has a lot of issues with gt 240 for some reason | 10:43 |
| adub | speedy_ i know you know your stuff i see you in here often bro | 10:43 |
| YankDownUnder | adub, If you're using an NVidia card, you might want to try running "sudo jockey-gtk" - let the system try to determine the best driver for your card - let it do it's thing, reboot after it's done - see what you get... | 10:44 |
| speedy_ | no i ran just the live DVD of natty and its works live fine and the previous versions as well I use now Ultimate Edtion | 10:44 |
| adub | yankdownunder here is the thing i can not get a prompt man to troubleshoot | 10:44 |
| speedy_ | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is my box | 10:44 |
| clu3 | YankDownUnder, heh, but i'm not sure what do do next :) . I can see the harddisk but can't mount it | 10:44 |
| YankDownUnder | adub, So you can't even get to a console login? | 10:44 |
| adub | no | 10:45 |
| adub | no console nothing just a bunch of pixels | 10:45 |
| padi999 | lucid lynx: Where are the compiz/fusion settings? | 10:45 |
| YankDownUnder | clu3, PLACES => Whatever drive ? | 10:45 |
| adub | and it is as if the system is locked up | 10:45 |
| adub | speedy_ you have a gt 240 ? | 10:45 |
| YankDownUnder | adub, Have you looked through the forums on how to boot to a liveCD and then chroot to the local disk? | 10:45 |
| adub | the 10.10 will not boot to a live disk the same thing happens big pixels then locks up | 10:46 |
| clu3 | YankDownUnder, yep, it doesn't response. When i try again. "Dbus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolueMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending" | 10:46 |
| speedy_ | adub is the pixels all over or half the screen no prompt? try typing in blind if u know there is a console there | 10:46 |
| YankDownUnder | clu3, Sounds to me like the disk might be dirtier than you think - or the drive itself needs a bit of a cleaning.... | 10:47 |
| adub | what do you recommend i type | 10:47 |
| ArunC | Hi, I'm trying to build a shared object from a static lib. I use g++ -static option, when I get this error: http://codepad.org/cQRg9w87 | 10:47 |

| YankDownUnder | clu3, Hmmm...well, that tells all, doesn't it? :) | 10:51 |
| clu3 | YankDownUnder, somebody suggest to run "e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda2" on ubuntuforms. should i try | 10:51 |
| YankDownUnder | adub, Sometimes, when you're having issues with ONE driver, other bits just ain't going to work, either. | 10:51 |

| Ve2 | Ok so. | 10:55 |
| Ve2 | I have a fakeraid array & ubuntu server installed. | 10:55 |
| Ve2 | I need to mount an NTFS partition on the array | 10:55 |
| Ve2 | Will I break everything? | 10:55 |
| Ve2 | Because I cannot afford to lose the data and I cannot back it up. :) | 10:55 |
| rumpe1 | Ve2, why can't you back it up? | 10:57 |
| Ve2 | It's 2TB | 10:57 |
| Ve2 | I don't have a 2TB disk to back up to. | 10:57 |
| clu3 | when I run e2fsck from my live CD terminal, i got this error: "Dvice or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda. Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?" | 10:57 |
| Ve2 | Seems to have mounted ok | 10:57 |
| clu3 | what can i do? | 10:57 |
| speedy_ | question: What or were is the Splash Screen on boot located in system can it be changed? u know like the animated splash on boot or just as desktops loads. Like othere Linux Versions to name a couple Ultimate Edtion the nice liquid like loge for UE, and GnackTrackR4 has nice splash as well just like to add my own | 10:57 |
| rumpe1 | Ve2, should be the first thing to do before doing anything else | 10:57 |
| Ve2 | Fingers crossed it doesn't erase all my data | 10:57 |
| YankDownUnder | clu3, sudo e2fsck => you have to be root user (or have the rights) to do that. | 10:58 |
| Ve2 | Well | 10:58 |
| Ve2 | I will be backing up all the data | 10:58 |
| rumpe1 | Ve2, otherwise you "can afford" to loose everything :> | 10:58 |
| llutz_ | clu3: you don't want to fsck /dev/sda, use a partition like /dev/sdaX | 10:58 |
| Ve2 | Yeah I know. | 10:58 |
| clu3 | YankDownUnder, i was already under sudo | 10:58 |
| Ve2 | I am getting a 2TB disk like, tomorrow | 10:58 |
| rumpe1 | Ve2, then wait | 10:58 |
| Ve2 | but I want to format it ext4 & not use NTFS | 10:58 |
| Ve2 | So I need to mount it in ubuntu anyway | 10:58 |
| Ve2 | Hopefully everything will be cool. | 10:58 |
| rumpe1 | Ve2, mount it read-only and there shouldn't be any problem | 10:59 |
| kingofthething | i have an external hard drive connected and it recognized and accessible but it is not showing up on my desktop, any ideas how to fix that? | 10:59 |
| clu3 | llutz_, what are those sda1, sda2, sda5 I have? Which one should i try? | 10:59 |
| Ve2 | good iea. | 10:59 |
| YankDownUnder | clu3, Right...is the partition you're trying to fsck ext2? | 10:59 |
| clu3 | it ext4 YankDownUnder | 10:59 |
| Ve2 | What is the flag for that again? | 10:59 |
| clu3 | YankDownUnder, sorry, wait.. | 10:59 |
| llutz_ | clu3: /dev/sda is the drive, /dev/sda1.... are the partitions. you need to know which partition holds the filesystem you want to check | 10:59 |
| Ve2 | -o ro? | 10:59 |
| YankDownUnder | clu3, Then use ext4.fsck /dev/sdXX | 11:00 |
| rumpe1 | Ve2, yeah... or just -r | 11:00 |
| Ve2 | ta | 11:00 |
| clu3 | yep, it seems ext4 for sda1 when i use sudo gparted | 11:00 |
| YankDownUnder | Ve2, Must be a pom or an Aussie... | 11:00 |
| clu3 | llutz_, i see, thanks , it must be sda1 then | 11:01 |
| Ve2 | What? | 11:01 |
| YankDownUnder | Ve2, Where ya live? | 11:01 |

| Ve2 | what is with the wierd config file? | 11:09 |
| rumpe1 | Ve2, nevermind... didn't understand what you meant exactly | 11:09 |
| YankDownUnder | Um...weird? I rather like a simple config like the /etc/network/interfaces - easy for at least me to understand... | 11:10 |
| Ve2 | I am used to the ifcfg files | 11:10 |
| Pumpkin- | it is literally that you are used to them though, they both do the same thing | 11:10 |
| Ve2 | :/ | 11:10 |
| Ve2 | This one looks totally different | 11:10 |
| Pumpkin- | I will be honest, the fact it doesn't come with a bunch of examples in it commented out is a little irritating | 11:11 |
| YankDownUnder | I rather like just editing the one, restarting the network, and VOILA! S'all good and up and running happy as Larry... | 11:11 |
| Ve2 | found some stuff on the net | 11:11 |
| Pumpkin- | but google should fix that | 11:11 |
| YankDownUnder | Google fixes everything...except for breakfast. | 11:11 |
| Pumpkin- | if you work for google, they even do that | 11:12 |
| clu3 | sorry YankDownUnder my computer was hanging. yes, I tried to browse the partition earlier using the File Browser. Now i can see a mount process is still running | 11:12 |
| clu3 | and i can't kill it, even with kill -9 | 11:12 |
| YankDownUnder | clu3, So since that is still running, you're not going to be able to run an fsck on that partition...unless you kill the process.... | 11:13 |

| YankDownUnder | Ve2, However, if someone was to purchase some great dark beers from up in Sydney, well, then I'd have to take that instead, eh? | 11:17 |
| concon | ubuntu_: I'm going to give you a hint: There's no space to expand to | 11:17 |
| jjp1789 | Yank: What's VB btw ? | 11:17 |
| ubuntu_ | concon: theres 34.69 GiB of unallocated space | 11:18 |
| satya | to authenticate ldap server, i just install the libnss-ldap package. | 11:18 |
| YankDownUnder | jjp1789, Victoria Bitters (beer) | 11:18 |
| ethanol | is it a common bug that often when ubuntu asks me to authenticate, for example when adding or removing software through the software center, the authentication dialog gets stuck after a succesful password entry (I have to click the X to get it to close) | 11:18 |
| satya | is it enough to connect to the ldap server? | 11:18 |
| juk | basically difference here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery and here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChrootRecovery is '-o bind' in last, what for that last? | 11:19 |
| concon | ubuntu_: There's 34.69GB of unallocated space on a logical block | 11:19 |
| ubuntu_ | concon: I don't get what you mean | 11:19 |
| Oer | ethanol no, this is normal. | 11:19 |
| Oer | ethanol, if it get stuck, that is not normal. | 11:19 |
| satya | ubuntu to authenticate ldap server, i just install the libnss-ldap package. | 11:19 |
| ethanol | well normal would be that it closes automatically, which it does only like 1/4th of all cases | 11:19 |
| satya | ubuntu: to authenticate ldap server, i just install the libnss-ldap package. | 11:20 |
| jjp1789 | satya: na, you need ldap-auth-client or anything to eventually have libpam-ldap | 11:20 |
| ubuntu_ | I'm trying to enlarge my Windows 7 partition from a live CD, but I can't expand it to the right. Here is a screenshot: http://i55.tinypic.com/2vbvkn8.png | 11:20 |
| concon | ubuntu_: You see that extended sda3, you need to shrink that one first, if possible | 11:21 |
| ubuntu_ | concon: It does not give me the option to resize when I right click on it | 11:21 |
| satya | jjp1789: auth-client-confiog is in the libnss-ldap package only | 11:22 |
| concon | Then you'll need to delete, that's the negative side of logical partitions | 11:22 |
| satya | jjp1789: auth-client-config is in the libnss-ldap package only | 11:22 |
| ubuntu_ | concon: delete what? | 11:22 |
| concon | If you delete it you'll delete sda5 as well | 11:22 |

| satya | jjp1789: it is already installed | 11:23 |
| silverlightning | hi | 11:23 |
| concon | That extended partition, it's a logical block so you can make logical partitions, there's a limit to 4 primary partitions to 1 drive, so windows tend to make logical partitions if you have more than 1 | 11:23 |
| satya | silverlightning: hi | 11:23 |
| silverlightning | how are you today | 11:23 |
| concon | And stop re-posting your error | 11:24 |

| coz_ | Ubuntu-user, if you have a question ask it... cant hurt | 11:28 |
| jjp1789 | satya: have a look on pam-auth-update and / or auth-client-config. Beware openldap tools (ldapsearch...) and libpam-ldap may use slightly different ldap.conf files | 11:28 |

| Slapcake | Hi, I'm trying to follow the LDAP tutorial at ubuntu-help (https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html) but it says I have insufficient access when I try to add the frontend, does anyone know how I can fix that? | 11:30 |
| clu3 | YankDownUnder, i guess i'm dead. Can't fsck the partition, it's still busy while there's no mount process running | 11:30 |
| satya | jjp1789: if i type sudo auth-client-config, it says profile is required | 11:30 |

| silverlightning | what are the recommended driver packages for the latest verson of ubuntu? | 11:31 |
| Slapcake | coz_: yes | 11:31 |
| jjp1789 | satya: look in /etc/auth-client-config and man auth-client-config | 11:31 |
| coz_ | Slapcake, mm then I am not sure | 11:31 |
| coz_ | silverlightning, which drivers? | 11:32 |
| ruan | silverlightning: the latest drivers? | 11:32 |
| Slapcake | coz_: the insufficient access error is an ldap error, not a uid error | 11:32 |
| coz_ | Slapcake, oh! mm well... if no one here can answer you might also want to go to t he ##linux channel | 11:32 |
| jjp1789 | slapcake: are you using simple bind ? | 11:32 |

| ruan | walex: it works using livecd, but it wont boot otherwise | 11:34 |
| silverlightning | ruan, just now? | 11:34 |

| Walex | ruan: there is a relevant HOWTO on the wiki too | 11:34 |
| ruan | walex i didnt get any option for recovery | 11:35 |

| Ubuntu-user | shomon: Giving an ip,Static ip, internet sharing related stuff? | 11:35 |
| silverlightning | ruan, if it is very recently, the computer might have a few hickups before it gets used to ubuntu, like loud beeps and reluctant booting | 11:35 |
| jjp1789 | ubuntu-user: good question; I personaly stop network-manager and kill dhcp client before using ifconfig, route and editing resolv.conf | 11:35 |
| mar | Hi. Can I somehow checked which files have changed in the last hour or so? | 11:36 |
| ruan | silverlightning: it hasnt made a first boot yet | 11:36 |
| shomon | ah okay Ubuntu-user - ifconfig is the command you want | 11:36 |
| Walex | ruan: you have to boot the liveCD and go into rescue mode. I'll do a search fro you on a link | 11:36 |
| ruan | walex: i can only "try" ubuntu and install it | 11:36 |
| ruan | walex: no other options | 11:36 |
| shomon | and to restart or change this, all the services that start by default are in /etc/init.d/ | 11:36 |
| Ve2 | Right. | 11:37 |
| Ve2 | So. | 11:37 |
| shomon | including one called network or networking I think | 11:37 |

| kingofthething | i have two extenal hard drives connected one is showing up on my desktop and one isnt, both are working fine and accessible but the just isnt showing up on my desktop when it is mounted | 11:37 |

| shomon | thanks bazhang | 11:38 |
| Walex | shomon: I think that Crossover can run various versions of IE, and it is a neatly packaged version of Wine | 11:38 |

| ubottu | shomon, please see my private message | 11:38 |
| ruan | walex: i cant boot at all, | 11:40 |
| ruan | walex: grub isnt showing up, it just freezes at boot, as if there is no OS | 11:40 |
| Walex | ruan: you can run rescue/recovery mode from the installation CD. | 11:40 |
| Walex | ruan: then that allows you to reinstall GRUB | 11:40 |
| offsense1 | anyone recommended empathy rather than pidgin? | 11:40 |
| tobier | offsense1: not really, I got rid of empathy | 11:41 |
| Walex | ruan: if the automatic rescue/recovery don't work, this is another and even more detailed approach: http://www.ubuntudoctor.com/content/blog/10/Boot-Install-Ubuntu-from-the-Grub-Rescue-Prompt | 11:41 |

| Walex | ruan: oops I really meant this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099 | 11:41 |
| offsense1 | tobier: so u prefer pidgin then? | 11:41 |
| Gnea | Ubuntu-user: ps command lists, kill and killall kills | 11:41 |
| tobier | offsense1: yes | 11:42 |
| Ubuntu-user | thanks | 11:42 |
| shomon | Ubuntu-user: also you can start a background process by running it followed by a & | 11:42 |
| Ubuntu-user | difference between kill and killall? | 11:42 |
| binawan | hallo guys... | 11:42 |
| tobier | Ubuntu-user: actually, IIRC kill politely asks a process to be killed, use kill -9 to force | 11:42 |
| shomon | kill needs a process number | 11:42 |
| Gnea | Ubuntu-user: man kill and man killall tells it | 11:42 |
| shomon | but killall needs a name | 11:42 |
| ruan | walex: btw, im on livecd try mode at the moment | 11:42 |
| Ubuntu-user | oh thanks its pid and name thingy | 11:43 |

| Walex | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB | 11:44 |
| Walex | the last link above advises going through a "fake" install, where you don't actually install, but the installer recreates the GRUB startup | 11:45 |
| ruan | this is complicated :/ | 11:45 |
| Walex | ruan: it is indeed not that simple. | 11:46 |
| risperdalx | hi | 11:46 |
| risperdalx | how can i close mysql service at startup ubuntu | 11:46 |
| Walex | ruan: the issue is that most people just install one partition and one time GRUB and "it just works" and so nobody cares very much about the non-standard cases. Just like in MS-Windows. | 11:46 |
| ruan | walex: i tried installing it 3 times, once on a new partition, it never worked | 11:47 |
| Walex | risperdalx: you have to edit the relevant entry in '/etc/init/' or use 'update-rc.d' to edit the startup links | 11:47 |
| smegzor | Anyone else experienced this? Starting today all of the Ubuntu computers in my house are unable to browse any websites or send/receive email using firefox and thunderbird. Other web browsers work perfectly, but I have the same problem with email in Evolution. | 11:47 |
| Walex | ruan: that is very unusual, installation usually "just works", unless you have an odd disk layout. | 11:48 |
| ruan | walex: i've only got 2 hard drives | 11:48 |
| risperdalx | Walex, should i use update-rc.d mysql remove or disable ? | 11:48 |
| Walex | ruan: however I am an *extremely* experienced sysadm/programmer and at one point I could not boot Ubuntu LTS 10 after installing it and could not fix it, because the boot process has become too complicated and it was difficult even for me to figure out what had broken | 11:49 |
| Walex | risperdalx: 'disable', because 'remove' has the problem listed in the 'man' page. | 11:49 |
| Ubuntu-user | can i setup ftp server in ubuntu? | 11:50 |
| Walex | ubuntulog: very easily, use something like VsFTPd or ProFTPd | 11:50 |
| smegzor | I use the filezilla ftp server. I either swear by it or swear at it. | 11:51 |
| Ubuntu-user | i am loving it ubuntu is super | 11:51 |

| risperdalx | thanks | 11:52 |
| Ubuntu-user | smegzor: what should i do... filezilla ? | 11:52 |
| Walex | risperdalx: but note that " System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/mysql do not exist" is perplexing | 11:53 |

| Walex | viliny: also you can uninstall the nVidia package by rerunning the installer with the uninstallation option. You have to do that to clean up things. | 11:55 |

| sacarlson | ruan: in most cases bios is set to boot /dev/sda but with usb flash installs it sometimes becomes /dev/sdb so worst case maybe try install to both | 12:10 |
| ruan | sacarlson: im using a livecd | 12:10 |
| tensorpudding | hilarie: delete the /root/.wine folder | 12:11 |
| LiquidDemocracy | Anybody knows openoffice calc well? | 12:11 |
| tensorpudding | it'll get rid of everything you installed or did as root in wine though | 12:11 |
| sacarlson | ruan: as you can see from the pastebin it's made to use a livecd boot to recover mbr | 12:11 |

| Ve2 | pop quiz, creating samba shares that have spaces in the path? | 12:12 |
| Ve2 | quotes doesn't seem to be working for me. | 12:12 |
| LiquidDemocracy | bazhang, thx | 12:12 |
| ruan | sacarlson: how would i remember all of that? | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | hilarie: the wine icons may still stay in the menus. those are under some other directory i recall. | 12:13 |
| LjL | Ve2: dunno, try backslash\ space... | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Ve2: ive fond out the hard way its best to NOT have spaces in shaer names | 12:13 |
| Ve2 | ta | 12:13 |
| Ve2 | I can't not have them | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Ve2: how are you acessing the share, via fstab? nautilus? indows? | 12:13 |
| Ve2 | It's a read only ntfs volume. | 12:14 |
| rethus | my cardreader doesn't work anymore after upgrade to 10.10 | 12:14 |
| rethus | if i plugin the reader the led only blink shortly two times... no messages in /var/log/messages | 12:14 |
| sacarlson | ruan: you shouldn't have to remember just follow it, maybe print it if needed | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Ve2: so whats the fact its a NTFS volume matter? | 12:14 |
| Ve2 | It's read only | 12:14 |
| Ve2 | I can't take the space out of the file name. | 12:14 |
| ruan | then remove the read only attribute? | 12:14 |
| Ve2 | :/ | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Ve2: you asked how to create a share.. You can make shares that are not the same name as a directory you are shareing is named.. | 12:15 |
| Ve2 | I just want to specify a path with a space in it. | 12:15 |
| xn1015 | 你们好 | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Ve2: specifiy it where exactly? we need a bit more details. | 12:15 |
| ikonia | Ve2: escape it | 12:15 |
| Ve2 | in smb.conf | 12:16 |
| ^Phantom^ | Okay | 12:16 |
| ^Phantom^ | sometimes FF crashes on large images | 12:16 |
| ^Phantom^ | sometimes it doesn't | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Ve2: so you are defining a share in smb.conf and the 'actual path' has a space in the name.. you are saying... | 12:16 |

| Dr_Willis | Ve2: the share defined does not have to have a space in the actual 'share name' is what we are saying. it dosent have to be the same name as the '/path/to/share directory' | 12:17 |
| Nikkos | hello everyone | 12:17 |
| Nikkos | i have a problem with my printer canon i250 and ubuntu 10.4 | 12:17 |
| Ve2 | Willis I am not entirely sure what you are talking about, it doesn't seem relevant to my query however. | 12:18 |
| bazhang | Nikkos, what does linuxprinting.org say about that printer | 12:18 |
| Nikkos | ill check | 12:18 |
| Nikkos | hm i cant find anything about my printer :/ | 12:19 |
| Nikkos | wait | 12:20 |
| Nikkos | no i cant find i250 | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Ve2: You are confusing in yoru wuestion as to the 'share name' and 'defining' the share in smb.conf there are 2 (at least) samba books in the repos with examples of the smb.conf file with examples. You may want to check them out. | 12:21 |
| Dr_Willis | !info samba-doc | 12:21 |
| ubottu | samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.2 (maverick), package size 1700 kB, installed size 7740 kB | 12:21 |
| Ve2 | So in smb.conf, under the "path" option, supposeing the path of the directory I want to map is /media/store/my documents | 12:21 |
| Ve2 | How would I map this path? | 12:21 |
| Ve2 | Quotes/escaping does not appear to work. | 12:21 |
| Nikkos | ubuntu recognizes it, i installed it selecting the i250 drivers from ubuntu list... but i can't print | 12:21 |
| Nikkos | it gives an eror | 12:22 |
| Nikkos | error* | 12:22 |
| mak__ | Hi. Is there any possible way to remove DISK not bookmarks, DISK entries from Places menu? They are duplicates made by disk-manager, which I do not need any more. | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Ve2: make a symlink without the space, then path to the link | 12:23 |
| Ve2 | Is that the only way? | 12:24 |
| Nikkos | someone can help me? | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Ve2: using spaces in stuff maks life complicated. I suggest you avoid them | 12:24 |

| Welshy-Rob | Hello, my ubuntu (10.10) seems to be running really slowly on my system, i can only run about two programs at once and it still manages to crash now this could be because i have a pretty poor pc but the previous version of ubuntu used to run so much faster! is there anything you can suggest i do? | 12:24 |
| Ve2 | Yeah after I migrate off this raid array I will be reshuffling things | 12:24 |
| Ve2 | can't right now though | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Ve2: the 'share name' in my example . would be best to be set to 'My_Videos" | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Welshy-Rob: test your RAM | 12:24 |
| Ve2 | Willis: as I mentioned before, quotes are not working for me. | 12:24 |

| daaxma_ | 1;2c1;2c/leave | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ruan: thats because its for installing apps, not windows itself. If you want Windows then use vmware or virtualbox | 12:26 |

| Welshy-Rob | ActionParsnip, how? | 12:26 |

| Welshy-Rob | ActionParsnip, cheers | 12:31 |
| alexrodriguez | Well, installed Maverick on my Acer Aspire (AOA150), microphone doen't work. I've spent the last two days trying everything googling Ubuntu support forums can tell me - I've updated all the lsa, gnome-alsa, pulse audio, I've reset between internal andMic a dozen times, I've slid the input volume bars to all extremes, etc | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | kjelle: I would think thats a yes. theres a set/check time/date service that checks it.. other apps could check it later i imagine. | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Welshy-Rob: if the ram is ok we can explore other avenues | 12:32 |

| ruan | sacarlson: my other one is a 40 gb hard drive, i'd prefer not to use it | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: it's a dead handy script for sound issues. If you run it, you can select to not upload ad it will make a file in /tmp which you can then manually pastebin | 12:38 |
| sacarlson | ruan: /dev/sda and /dev/sdb I would assume but with all that activity on gparted you should know better that I | 12:38 |

| ruan | sacarlson: how do i wipe the MBR? | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: use pastebin.com and you won't flood | 12:39 |

| mak__ | Hi. Is there any possible way to remove DISK not bookmarks, DISK entries from Places menu? | 12:41 |
| sacarlson | ruan: since you already played with gparted just make sure you have an empty space with no file system before installing ubuntu so it can guess where to install itself | 12:41 |
| ruan | sacarlson: the drive is completely clear with 1 partition | 12:42 |

| sacarlson | ruan: do you have a usb flash drive around? | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: ok, press ENTER on the dislogue screen then select to save locally | 12:46 |
| ruan | sacarlson: with all of the programs i tried to make an ubuntu usb with 2 different ones, they failed | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: then copy the location of the file when the page changes, open it in gedit, copy the text then pastebin the text | 12:46 |
| sacarlson | ruan: well there is also something called plop that will can make a system that won't support usb boot to boot with them | 12:46 |
| ruan | sacarlson: it does support usb boot, its mentioned in removable list | 12:47 |
| ruan | sacarlson: but it fails at doing so | 12:47 |
| alexrodriguez | actionparsnip - I end with "Your ALSA information is in /tmp/alsa-info.txt.TYsnFTwkKV", I'm afraid I'm still newb - what do you mean to choose to save locally? | 12:47 |
| ruan | well the install is finished | 12:47 |
| alexrodriguez | actionparsnip - I should sudo gedit /tmp/alsa-info.txt.TYsnFTwkKV ? | 12:48 |
| sacarlson | ruan: well also make sure the files you download are not corupted by checking with md5sum and see if the usb flash will boot another computer system | 12:48 |
| ruan | sacarlson: i've checked the md5sum already | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: no need for sudo, and sudo is NOT to be used with gedit | 12:48 |
| ruan | sacarlson: it also failed to install windows from usb | 12:48 |
| sacarlson | ruan: did you try the usb flash on another system? | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: use gksudo for GUI apps like gedit and such | 12:48 |
| ruan | sacarlson: no, havent got one to use | 12:49 |

| ActionParsnip | osmosis_paul: I'm not that hot with PS1 dude, sorry | 13:05 |
| alexrodriguez | actionparsnip - at the end of the same line, or beginning? | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | osmosis_paul: the guys in #bash may be able to help | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: at the end | 13:05 |
| osmosis_paul | cool thanks dude | 13:05 |

| rethus | i can't delete files on my usb stick. | 13:07 |
| rethus | why | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: looks good, save the file and reboot | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rethus: its mounted read only possibly | 13:08 |
| Gnea | rethus: because you don't have permission | 13:08 |
| rethus | where can i change it? | 13:08 |
| psyflux | hey can i get some help ? | 13:08 |
| chris_pres | rethus, was it default mount? | 13:08 |
| Gnea | rethus: can you pastebin the output of the mount command please? | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | rethus: when you last pulled the stick from a system, what steps did you take? | 13:08 |
| Gnea | !helpme | psyflux | 13:08 |
| ubottu | psyflux: 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 | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | psyflux: ask away dude | 13:08 |
| Gnea | !ask | psyflux | 13:08 |
| ubottu | psyflux: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 13:08 |

| psyflux | i need command for getting admin with out knowing the admin pass | 13:09 |
| rethus | ActionParsnip: open dolphin and try to delete a file | 13:09 |
| chris_pres | rethus, what message do you get when you try to delete a file? | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rethus: how did you take the device out of the last system it was in? | 13:10 |
| chris_pres | psyflux, sudo su | 13:10 |
| psyflux | i need command for getting admin with out knowing the admin pass | 13:10 |
| aeon-ltd | psyflux: why? and can't you use sudo? | 13:10 |
| Gnea | rumpe1: hm, somehow it's not setting the 'user' mount flag | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: your PC reboots in 8 seconds? | 13:10 |
| Gnea | !sudo | psyflux | 13:10 |
| ubottu | psyflux: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 13:10 |
| rethus | "could not delete file | 13:10 |
| psyflux | im on school man i need to unlock the pcs :) | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | chris_pres: sudo -i is advised over sudo su | 13:11 |
| alexrodriguez | actionparsnip - little mor than that, but it's empty, so fairly fast | 13:11 |
| psyflux | cant be done with that ive tried | 13:11 |
| aeon-ltd | psyflux: your school uses linux | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: nice | 13:11 |
| aeon-ltd | ? | 13:11 |
| Gnea | rethus: well yeah, how about the output of the 'id' command? | 13:11 |
| psyflux | yup | 13:11 |
| chris_pres | ActionParsnip, never heard of that?!? | 13:11 |
| alexrodriguez | actionpasnip - now my sound icon is showing its muted and I can't change it | 13:11 |
| aeon-ltd | psyflux: then why? | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | chris_pres: (I)nteractive sudo | 13:11 |
| alexrodriguez | well, not muted...just not moving? | 13:11 |
| alexrodriguez | not registering | 13:11 |
| Gnea | psyflux: then you're not part of sudoers, you'll need to become a part of it | 13:11 |
| rethus | if i try on shell, i got permission denied... filesystem is readonly | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: do you have sound? | 13:11 |
| psyflux | for unlocing and changing the DNS servers | 13:11 |
| chris_pres | ActionParsnip, what advantage? | 13:11 |
| alexrodriguez | no | 13:11 |
| rethus | Gnea: what is the id-command? | 13:12 |
| Gnea | rethus: if you're unwilling to answer my questions, then you won't get anywhere | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rethus: how did you remove the usb stick from the last system you pulled it out of, what steps? | 13:12 |
| aeon-ltd | psyflux: how long do you have? | 13:12 |
| Gnea | rethus: you type id, and you press enter. | 13:12 |
| psyflux | the cmd started like.. cd/atm or something like that | 13:12 |
| Gnea | rethus: man id <--- tells more about it | 13:12 |
| ActionParsnip | chris_pres: its the same as sudo but will keep geing until you type: exit | 13:12 |
| rethus | uid=1000(suther) gid=1000(suther) Gruppen=1000(suther),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),29(audio),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users),104(lpadmin),114(admin),117(sambashare),121(vboxusers),1001(burning) | 13:12 |
| psyflux | i dont know it all | 13:12 |
| psyflux | just the firs cmd line | 13:12 |
| rethus | ActionParsnip: normal way... alway unmount it | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | chris_pres: it's closer to using sudo, for one. | 13:13 |
| ActionParsnip | rethus: good lad :) | 13:13 |
| alexrodriguez | actionparsnip - what do I type into terminal to bring up alsamixer again? I thought it was just "alsamixer" but it is saying that is no such file/directory | 13:13 |
| psyflux | i need the cmd so i can become sysadmin and change DNS servers to unlock sites | 13:14 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez: alsamixer you can use the UP cursor to review old commands | 13:14 |
| Gnea | psyflux: you've been given the command. | 13:14 |
| rethus | ok, i put the microSD-Card back in my phone, and delete the file, thats work | 13:14 |
| rethus | why not on desktop | 13:14 |
| psyflux | but without knowing the admin pass | 13:15 |
| rethus | where can i set fullaccess to usbstick while mounting | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | psyflux: you can set DNS in network manager or you can edit /etc/resolv.conf | 13:15 |
| Pici | psyflux: Are you asking us how to get sudo/root access on a computer that is not yours? | 13:15 |
| Gnea | ActionParsnip: kids these days and their lack of patience... | 13:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnea: kinda :( | 13:16 |
| alexrodriguez_ | actionparsnip - what do I type into terminal to bring up alsamixer again? I thought it was just "alsamixer" but it is saying that is no such file/directory | 13:16 |
| Pici | Oh well. | 13:16 |
| ActionParsnip | rethus: try: sudo umount /dev/sdb1; sudo mkdir /media/point; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/point -o rw,uid=1000,user may help | 13:17 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez_: yes, it's alsamixer simple and easy | 13:17 |

| Gnea | rethus: system->administration->users&groups, then click on your account and then on 'advanced settings' | 13:18 |
| ActionParsnip | alexrodriguez_: looks like that 2nd option is screwing stuff up, I'd get rid of it | 13:18 |
| alexrodriguez_ | which second option? | 13:18 |
| Gnea | rethus: go to the 'user privileges' tab and see if you have the ability to mount user-space filesystems | 13:18 |

| ecanto_ | hi | 13:31 |
| gsb | ecanto_: hello | 13:32 |
| osmosis_paul | jribi want check folder that i have in a folder and remove all those folder whose date are older than 5 days | 13:32 |
| osmosis_paul | is for clean in my backup log system | 13:32 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: older in what way? modification time? | 13:32 |
| ikonia | osmosis_paul: just use find and -mtime | 13:32 |
| osmosis_paul | every folder has as name the date when he was created | 13:32 |
| ecanto_ | my problem is XF86Eject not working | 13:32 |
| ruan | im back | 13:32 |
| osmosis_paul | older in the way of when he was created | 13:32 |
| ruan | still cant boot ubuntu | 13:33 |
| ecanto_ | my laptop dell inspiron 1440 | 13:33 |
| coz_ | ruan, does the live cd work | 13:33 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: so you have to parse the name of the folder? Because when you created the folder you included the creation time in the date? | 13:33 |
| ruan | coz_ yes the livecd works | 13:33 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: so you have to parse the name of the folder? Because when you created the folder you included the creation time in the name? | 13:33 |
| coz_ | ruan, and did you check the cd for errors? | 13:33 |
| coz_ | ruan, and also did you run a memory check | 13:33 |
| ruan | coz_: yes to both | 13:33 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, exactly | 13:34 |
| kmck | Hi All! :) so I am very new to 'the computer world' and will ask a lot of questions (especially if I don't understand something) and today i have a lot of questions... 1) i was trying to get rid of Ubuntu completely and get Windows 7 back, i got recovery media disks from gateway i put the CD's in and booted from the disk, after completely wiping my hard drive and re-installing windows 7 and all the drivers i got a black screen (looked like DOS prompt) | 13:34 |
| coz_ | ruan, mmm and you installed to the main hard drive | 13:34 |
| ruan | coz_: yes | 13:34 |
| osmosis_paul | 2011-02-17/ and inside i have the logs of that day | 13:34 |
| ruan | coz_: first priority on boot | 13:34 |
| osmosis_paul | i want remove the folders 5 days older | 13:34 |
| coz_ | ruan, was there another system on that same hard drive previously? | 13:34 |
| ruan | coz_: yes but it was formatted | 13:34 |
| adub_ | i am having issues with my sound on my computer i would prefer hd sound but any sound would do i guess | 13:35 |
| ruan | adub_: do you have the latest sound drivers? | 13:35 |
| coz_ | ruan, this is ubuntu 10.10 ,, yes? | 13:35 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: well, loop over every directory, extract the date, compare the date to current one (maybe ask #bash how best to do this part or don't use bash...), then delete if older than whatever. Or maybe an easier way, at the beginning compute what you want to keep (i.e. the last 5 dates) and then delete the folders that don't equal any of those | 13:35 |
| ruan | coz_: yes 10.10 | 13:36 |
| adub_ | ruan well even yesterday before formatting i had installed the lastest alsa | 13:36 |
| adub_ | i think there is just a lot going on with sound | 13:36 |
| coz_ | ruan, just to carify,,, when the live cd boots ,,, when you see the keyboard icon at the bottom you hit enter,,, and then when the menu appears you ran both memory check and check cd ,,,yes? | 13:36 |
| adub_ | i have a tv tuner card that uses pulse audio then i have onboard sound then i have sound on my video card that uses hdmi | 13:37 |
| ruan | coz_: yes | 13:37 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, yes the idea i have on mind, i was asking something more in low level of shell, how get the name of a folder and cast to number for example | 13:37 |
| coz_ | ruan, was windows on this prior to ubuntu? | 13:37 |
| ruan | coz_: yes it was on before ubuntu, but ubuntu wiped the partition | 13:37 |
| alexrodriguez_ | actionparsnip - was there something new to try in alsa-base.conf now that it's open? (sorry, not trying to be a nag) | 13:37 |
| coz_ | ruan, do you have a windows install cd? | 13:37 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: you don't want to do that, it's a date in MM-DD-YYYY format, not a number | 13:37 |
| tull | Is there anyone using Ubuntu with the graphic card Ati Mobility Radeon Hd 3650 ? | 13:37 |
| ruan | coz_: yes i do | 13:37 |
| ruan | coz_: windows xp | 13:38 |
| cdbs | !anyone | tull | 13:38 |
| ubottu | tull: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 13:38 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, yes but then how you can compare with the system time? | 13:38 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: you can use date to convert your date into a unix timestamp, but ask #bash if there is a better way | 13:39 |
| coz_ | ruan, off hand I cannot think of what this could be , | 13:39 |
| LinkRage | someone please type: id , as a regular user, I need to know the default groups pls ;) | 13:39 |
| osmosis_paul | i want cast to milliseconds do you know what i mean? | 13:39 |
| ruan | coz_: everyone said that :S | 13:39 |
| tull | i want to know if the card mobility radeon hd 3650 with ubuntu uses correctly the fan | 13:39 |
| coz_ | ruan, I would try to in stall xp again and see if it boots just to be sure the hard drive itself is not broken | 13:39 |
| bazhang | osmosis_paul, milliseconds? | 13:39 |

| kmck | Hi All! :) so I am very new to 'the computer world' and will ask a lot of questions (especially if I don't understand something) and today i have a lot of questions... 1) i was trying to get rid of Ubuntu completely and get Windows 7 back, i got recovery media disks from gateway i put the CD's in and booted from the disk, after completely wiping my hard drive and re-installing windows 7 and all the drivers i got a black screen (looked like DOS prompt) | 13:42 |
| jrib | kmck: this is a ##windows question | 13:43 |
| kasjdgfasdbh | yeahhhhh | 13:43 |

| eXpLoD | how can i run a program(say firefox) without it showing the details of it and so...is there an argument for it? | 13:47 |
| jrib | eXpLoD: you can redirect all of its output to /dev/null with: firefox &> /dev/null | 13:47 |
| coz_ | eXpLoD, I am not sure I understand "details of it" | 13:47 |
| noamicko | eXpLoD: what do you mean details? r u running it from the command line? | 13:47 |
| noamicko | y not just clicking it from nautilus? | 13:48 |
| eXpLoD | yeah,i am running it from the terminal | 13:48 |
| coz_ | existx, hit alt+F2 type firefox | 13:48 |
| yann2 | hello! wanted to ask: How well does unity work without hardware acceleration at all (ie: VNC to a KVM vm) in 11.4? | 13:48 |
| eXpLoD | i know that with alt+f2,i wanted to know if there is an argument for running it in terminal | 13:48 |

| nagel182 | i installed it as the site said, and made a check | 13:53 |
| yann2 | try being friendly, it helps too :/ | 13:53 |
| ActionParsnip | yann2: no, just don't give cheek / attitude and you'll do better | 13:54 |
| coz_ | ruan, does that video card require power plug? | 13:54 |
| ruan | coz_: no its internal | 13:54 |
| nagel182 | and only one failed this: FAIL: wand/wandtest.sh | 13:54 |

| ruan | coz_: its ok with heavy 3d games so i dont mind | 13:54 |
| jrib | nagel182: erm, what do you mean you "installed it as the site said"? Did you use apt? | 13:55 |

| ruan | i meant codecs | 13:56 |
| jrib | nagel182: read its documentation I guess. Sometimes there's a "make uninstall" rule | 13:56 |
| dubey | ActionParsnip: Can my local network user use this host as their update server ? | 13:56 |
| ActionParsnip | dubey: sure if you add the server to the system(s) | 13:56 |

| === Guest60326 is now known as Cain | ||
| nagel182 | but why should i delete it, jrib? | 13:59 |
| jrib | nagel182: because you should use the version in apt | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ruan: shutdown the PC and unplug the power for at least 30 mins, then plug it back in and it should be ok | 13:59 |

| ruan | actuionparsnip: why? | 13:59 |
| nagel182 | and if i download the apt vversion does it overwrites it? | 13:59 |
| jrib | nagel182: no | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ruan: it will sort the DMI pool data issue..... | 14:00 |
| ruan | actuionparsnip: its not an issue, it always goes there | 14:00 |
| ruan | fail | 14:00 |
| koolhead11 | jrib, thanks. let me check it. i need to know how to enable pam_mkhomedir | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ruan: I see, then the boot option in the link I gave will sort it for you | 14:01 |
| nagel182 | jrib, i think sudo make uninstall worked | 14:01 |
| jrib | nagel182: ok | 14:01 |
| ruan | ActionParsnip: are you sure? | 14:01 |
| nagel182 | jrib, so how can i get imagemagick from apt? | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ruan: yes, some video cards cause black screens at boot, the boot option mentioned is one known to resolve it in most cases | 14:02 |
| jrib | nagel182: you can use synaptic if you like synaptic | 14:02 |
| ruan | ActionParsnip: i dont get black screen | 14:02 |
| ActionParsnip | nagel182: sudo apt-get Install imagemagick | 14:02 |
| ruan | ActionParsnip: i get a loading DMI pool data screen which tells me CPU fan rpm, temp, voltage, etc, and it normally goes to boot from that screen | 14:03 |
| ruan | ActionParsnip: but it does nothing at the screen | 14:03 |
| osmosis_paul | it is possible change the date of creation of a file to make a test?\ | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | ruan: ok then press ESC when the boot splash shows and you can see the boot messages | 14:03 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: files don't have creation date stored anywhere | 14:03 |
| osmosis_paul | ok what is the date that is close of the name of the every file when you do ls | 14:04 |
| osmosis_paul | i mean that date | 14:04 |
| osmosis_paul | i want test this | 14:04 |
| osmosis_paul | find /mnt/ebs_volume/mysql_backup/ -type f -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \; | 14:04 |
| coz_ | ruan, I am getting nothing | 14:05 |
| ruan | coz_ i know my pc can run ubuntu because im on try mode of the liveCD right now | 14:05 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: modification time | 14:05 |
| nibbler | can apache2 be configured to not save the full IP to the logfiles, but just the 2 or three first (or last) octets? mod_removeip is a bit too much for me | 14:05 |
| ruan | but i want to restart my pc at times | 14:05 |
| coz_ | ruan, right which makes this more puzzling | 14:05 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, yes | 14:05 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: yes, modification time is not necessarily the time a file was created | 14:06 |
| coz_ | ruan, as stupid as this may sound, similar to "did you delete all of your cookies" make sure all cables and wires are securly connected inside and out | 14:06 |
| ruan | coz_ cables cant really relate to installation | 14:06 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, finally i google and i found this beauty function "find /mnt/ebs_volume/mysql_backup/ -type f -mtime +0 -exec rm {} \;" i need test it but i dont want remove any of my files older, only the ne ones that i created for the test | 14:07 |
| kmck | to get flash, don't you type ----> sudo apt-get sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin and something else? | 14:07 |
| coz_ | ruan, I have seen very odd behavior with loose cables,, | 14:07 |
| === Trystam is now known as Tristam | ||
| ActionParsnip | kmck: don't you mean java? | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !java | kmck | 14:07 |
| ubottu | kmck: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 14:07 |
| kmck | ActionParsnip: yes sorry | 14:07 |
| ruan | java is on package list | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ruan: not without enabling partner repo first | 14:07 |
| ruan | synaptic works | 14:08 |
| kmck | my problem is, my terminal won't let me install java | 14:08 |
| osmosis_paul | kmck, go to source.list and uncoment all debian package, then use apt-get update and then try install again those package | 14:08 |
| silverlightning | hi | 14:08 |
| ActionParsnip | kmck: you need to enable the partner repo in software centre | 14:08 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: so do it in a new directory. But that command does not do what you asked. | 14:08 |
| coz_ | kman__, open synaptic package manager go to "Settings" "repositories" | 14:08 |
| silverlightning | is there a way to check the filesystem on ubuntu, and the boot register? | 14:09 |
| osmosis_paul | yes i just need change -f by -d and works with direcories | 14:09 |
| coz_ | kman__, Click the "other software" tab and tick all boxes there | 14:09 |
| CharlieS1 | I'm running default Samba 3.5 on Ubun tu 10.10. and I'm trying to get permissions right for point'n'print driver upload from a windows box. So far no luck. Anyone ever done this before? | 14:09 |
| === CharlieS1 is now known as CharlieSu | ||
| coz_ | kman__, then close that dialog and hit the :"Reload" button | 14:09 |
| silverlightning | I have a newly installed OS and a bit trouble booting | 14:09 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: except it uses modification time which may or may not be sufficient for what you want to accomplish | 14:09 |
| coz_ | kman__, if you want sun java then hit Search and type in sun java then install the sun-java6-plugin and it will pull down all you need,, | 14:10 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, i know what you mean, so if someone read one of this files the date will change right? | 14:10 |
| nagel182 | jrib, its installed | 14:11 |
| coz_ | kman__, if not sun java hit search and type in ubuntu restriced and install the ubuntu-restricted-extas | 14:11 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: hmm, no | 14:11 |
| dubey | ActionParsnip: how about apt-cacher-ng ? | 14:11 |
| jrib | nagel182: now use it ;o | 14:11 |
| nagel182 | jrib, how can i check it if works? | 14:11 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, then why do you think is not what i want? | 14:11 |
| silverlightning | a major improvement in Maverick is that it manages the fan and cooling on my laptop much better than the others | 14:11 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: because your question involved creation time | 14:12 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: and you've set it up with your naming scheme so that that's actually feasible | 14:12 |
| silverlightning | if anything, it might run unnessecarily on high | 14:12 |
| nagel182 | jrib, how can i check it if it works? | 14:13 |
| ruan | i still can't boot ubuntu though | 14:13 |
| jrib | nagel182: try using it to do something? | 14:13 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, the script that i see using the name as date are crazy\ | 14:14 |
| Da|Mummy | what are people using to check sfv files? | 14:14 |
| BIGBAMBU | how can hawe all video codec in ubuntu 10.10 | 14:14 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: well if this is sufficient for you then use it, only you can decide that | 14:14 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, this way is quite simple, but i dont see why wont work it, i just want remove file/directories 5 days olders | 14:14 |
| nagel182 | jrib, thats the thing i dont know it until i install magickwand for PHP, and thats another issue... | 14:15 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: if a file gets modified, its mtime changes | 14:15 |
| jrib | nagel182: just use php5-imagick from apt | 14:15 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, yes i asumm that, but gonna be only readable files so... maube the effor to use the other technique dont pay off | 14:16 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: probably | 14:16 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: again, it depends on your setup | 14:16 |
| osmosis_paul | jrib, anyway question again, how can i modify the modify date of a file to made this test, it is possible? | 14:16 |
| jrib | osmosis_paul: yes, you can use "touch" | 14:16 |
| ikonia | osmosis_paul: just touch the file | 14:16 |

| silverlightning | and it will just check, not mess up? | 14:20 |
| ikonia | silverlightning: no, if you want to check your root file system you need to do it from a livecd | 14:20 |

| compdoc | teweWork, its not behaviour I would intend in any OS | 14:50 |
| BluesKaj | juniour, I already told you to use 64bit ubuntu , not the 32 bit version | 14:50 |

| iceroot_ | juniour: enable vt-x if you want amd64 for the vms | 14:50 |

| iceroot_ | juniour: its a setting in vbox | 14:51 |

| krger | They're both fully-supported. | 14:51 |
| teweWork | compdoc: yeah i guessed that :) any idea to solve the issue or what to look for? | 14:51 |

| Williams | Hi everyone! I have a problem with mkv playback (1080p, even 720p). I'm using SMPlayer and my laptop handles these mkv files in windows no problem. So this is a problem with linux. The video is lagging sometimes... Please help | 14:51 |
| Pumpkin- | but I imagine its a vbox setting on CPU features to expose. | 14:51 |
| juniour | how can i use 32 bit | 14:51 |
| compdoc | teweWork, I work on lots of computers, and never see them run out of memory like that. how are you managing it? | 14:52 |
| iceroot_ | juniour: i told you what the reason is, you are not using vt-x technologie in virtualbox, so vbox is using 32bit instead of what your cpu can do | 14:52 |

| silverlightning | is it worth replacng the harddisk in an old laptop? | 15:32 |
| silverlightning | or get a new computer right away | 15:32 |
| silverlightning | I am tired of fiddeling with ubuntu | 15:33 |
| Doc0C | Lungan that is very messed up, like it got replaced by an example file | 15:33 |
| hardhead | How do I Unmount a partition manually??? | 15:33 |
| silverlightning | I have heard Acer and Dell have laptops designed for both Ubuntu and Windows | 15:33 |
| Lungan | Doc0C, How should i fix it? The "xxx" and "yyy" har uuid numbers | 15:33 |
| Eduard | erm, anyone? any ideas??? | 15:33 |
| edwardteach | Eduard, yes | 15:34 |
| rzx237 | hardhead: first you type command df and find a line that point to your drive | 15:34 |
| secretary_linux | hardhead: where path is the path to the mountpoint or to the device, sudo umount /path/ | 15:34 |
| Doc0C | Lungan fdisk can tell you the actual devices of your file systems. Then edit fstab to reflect actual devices | 15:34 |
| Eduard | edwardteach, is it possible to have multiple python installations on 10.10 without breaking anything? | 15:34 |
| Lungan | But what should I change to make it correct? | 15:34 |
| test001 | ziptye ok, thank you very much ! :) | 15:34 |
| Lungan | Doc0C, Which line is wrong? | 15:34 |
| Homefix | Doc0C: sorry my kid had an issue:..i am running lucid in a chroot and "upstart" will not "start" im trying to follow this:http://gyp.blogs.balabit.com/2011/01/using-upstart-in-a-chroot/.......... toward the bottom is a workaround but i dont know how what to compile or how I wrote this and this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932754 is what i am doing | 15:35 |
| DrPoO | My terminal colour scheme broke, Now files and directories look the same... How can I fix this? | 15:35 |
| silverlightning | does anyone have a laptop with ubuntu that works trouble free? | 15:35 |
| Doc0C | The xxxxxx and yyyyyy should be actual devices, like /dev/sda1 and such | 15:35 |
| DrPoO | <silverlightning> I have 4 | 15:35 |
| test001 | ziptye so maybe it will work fine in next ubuntu 11.04 | 15:35 |
| silverlightning | oh, I am emvious dr poo | 15:35 |
| silverlightning | weird nick | 15:35 |
| DrPoO | lol | 15:35 |
| Lungan | Doc0C, Yeah, but the xxx is in fact a realy long combination of numbers and letter, but the computer doesn't have internet ATM so i didn't take the time too write it down | 15:36 |
| spmccann | silverlightning: yep, but that probably doesnt help you | 15:36 |
| silverlightning | it does | 15:36 |
| Lungan | Doc0C, The linuxsystem is on /dev/sda1 | 15:36 |
| silverlightning | I mean, I will not give up on ubuntu entirely | 15:36 |
| edwardteach | Eduard, yes you have to use them specifically .. #!/bin/usr/python3.1 or #!/bin/usr/python | 15:36 |
| Doc0C | Lungan well, without the actual fstab entries, I don't know how to help you | 15:37 |
| spmccann | silverlightning: well i'm running a lenovo t61 intel chip set everything worked out of the box | 15:37 |
| Hill | hiiiii | 15:38 |
| spmccann | silverlightning: i take it that you are having some problems | 15:38 |
| Bushman_ | hmm... | 15:38 |
| Doc0C | Lungan ok, so dmesg is saying /dev/sda1 doesn't exist? | 15:38 |
| Hill | fuck allllllllll? | 15:38 |
| jatt | what is better DSL or fiber? | 15:38 |
| DrPoO | My terminal colour scheme broke, Now files and directories look the same... How can I fix this? | 15:38 |
| Bushman_ | i have no video display (only sound) when playing matroska on kaffeine | 15:38 |
| Pici | jatt: Thats not really on-topic for this channel, #ubuntu-offtopic or perhaps ##networking would be more appropriate. | 15:38 |
| Doc0C | Drp | 15:38 |
| Lungan | Doc0C, This is the exactly copy of my FSTAB http://pastebin.com/YkhrageM | 15:39 |
| grizly21 | hi | 15:39 |
| Bushman_ | the video plays in totem but not in kaffeine | 15:39 |
| silverlightning | yes, but it might not be ubuntu's fault | 15:39 |
| hardhead | rzx237: this is the message I get in Gparted (Most likely other partitions are also mounted on these mount points. You are advised to unmount them manually.) I tried to unmount in terminal but it wont except the command - any ideas? | 15:39 |
| silverlightning | spmccann | 15:39 |
| edwardteach | DrPoO, what did you do to change it? | 15:40 |
| BiPolah | hardhead: Are you using sudo? | 15:40 |
| Doc0C | DrPoO probably just borked your aliases in your .bashrc or .bash_profile. Try temporarily renaming them and see if your dircolors show up | 15:40 |
| cntb | hi all , I very much like to use 2 finger scrolling as in my mac and w7 http://mixeduperic.com/linux/ubuntu-1004-how-to-setup-two-finger-scroll-on-laptop-touch-pad.html gives idea how to do and maybe I ma not doing right because it doesn not do as expected anyone dealed with it | 15:40 |

| Djoef | Hi, I am installing Ubuntu 10.10. I have a partition for Windows, a partition for Data and an unpartitioned space where I want to install ubuntu. I went into the manual mode, and added a partition that takes the rest of the drive (+/- 30GB) Is this OK ? or do I need to create 2 partitions ? And what should I choose for the boot loader? | 15:40 |
| rzx237 | hardhead: how many partition do you have on the drive? | 15:41 |
| silverlightning | something weird going on with my network | 15:41 |

| sacarlson | Djoef: 30g is big enuf, you might want to create a swap partition but it's not manditory | 15:42 |

| koolhead11 | now i need another suggestion i want to lockdown my ubuntu to kiosk mode | 15:43 |
| Doc0C | Lungan so it is saying /dev/sda1 does not exist? | 15:43 |
| BiPolah | Djoef: You should have a swap partition of at least 2GB | 15:43 |
| Doc0C | No it looks right | 15:43 |
| hardhead | rzx237: I think 3 other 10/dev/sda2[extended]-----20/dev/sda5[linux-swap]-----30unalocated | 15:43 |
| silverlightning | oh? I have no swap | 15:43 |

| rzx237 | hardhead: you need to do umount /dev/sda3; umount /dev/sda5 and all that point to /dev/sda* in order to repartition sda | 15:44 |

| Assid | hrmm.. nah | 15:46 |
| Assid | but the best way to learn anything is from what other people are doing | 15:46 |

| Doc0C | Lungan ok, seems like a grub misconfiguration | 15:47 |
| rzx237 | hardhead: did you try gparted? | 15:47 |
| Assid | err does ubuntu have its OWN remote management tool like teamviewer ? | 15:47 |
| Lungan | Doc0C, Using live cd ATM so i can reach the hdd (sda1), how do i reconfigure grub then? | 15:47 |
| * Assid is thinking maybe it should consider making one | 15:47 | |
| BiPolah | Assid: It has remote desktop viewer built in on 10.10 at least | 15:47 |

| ZipTye | So i was hoping someone could give me some advice. I am looking to pick up a new desktop this weekend a retail box and have been looking at the HP Pavilion Desktop P6754Y AMD Athlon II X4 640 with built in wifi and the Gateway DX4850-27e with an Intel Core i5-2300 Processor | 15:48 |
| Assid | BiPolah, yes, but that wont bypass firewall issues.. im just thinking from a "adoptive" strategy | 15:48 |
| hardhead | rzx237: yes and it wont let me unmount the main partition until I unmount the other three | 15:48 |
| Homefix | help with compiling? | 15:48 |
| BiPolah | Assid: Depends which port you're using etc. That's the point a firewall, to stop unauthorised connections. | 15:49 |
| milamber | hardhead: just caught the tail end of your convo, but the command is umount not unmount iirc | 15:49 |
| Assid | imagine people talking to their cuz's and uncles and telling them, "you know what.. im tired of helping you and your virus issues.. get a mac or linux" | 15:49 |
| ZipTye | does anyone have any experience running Ubuntu on anything like these or an HP desktop with built in wireless did it work out of the box, not sure of the wireless chip | 15:49 |

| Djoef | uRock, so I need to change that ? | 16:03 |
| StevenTyler | rzx237, getting "Failed to fetch cdrom" | 16:03 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, there's some limitation in cron to use subversion program?? because it is there where dont do anything | 16:03 |
| rzx237 | hardhead: if you install it in another partition it will be ok | 16:03 |
| DocOC | Lungan try them all, if none works, you will need to use grub command line options to point to a working kernel and ram disk | 16:03 |
| Lungan | DocOC, And how do I do that? Because non of them seem to work | 16:03 |
| rzx237 | StevenTyler: no idea.. | 16:03 |
| Djoef | ah no, for a swap partition you cannot set a mount point | 16:03 |
| Djoef | so thats ok | 16:03 |
| uRock | they can be logical or primary, Djoef, no mount pount needed for swap, just for the ext4 | 16:03 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: not that I know of, is your svn repo local or remote | 16:04 |
| Djoef | Ok, so for the EXT4 I set the mount point to "/" | 16:04 |
| osmosis_paul | remote | 16:04 |
| uRock | si senior Djoef | 16:04 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: how are you authenticating | 16:04 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, but if i execute my script manually works | 16:04 |
| hardhead | rzx237: thats my problem I cant get anything to unmount so I can create a partition to throw it into | 16:04 |
| milamber | uRock: does the windows key + f7 work? | 16:04 |
| Djoef | uRock, gracias :) | 16:04 |
| ZipTye | Looked over that page, thanks milamber | 16:04 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, if execute manually works/ with login/password | 16:04 |
| uRock | milamber, not sure, haven't tried | 16:04 |
| Djoef | Then the last question : Where should the boot loader point to ? | 16:05 |
| DocOC | Lungan I do not know off the top of my head, and I am irving from my phone, so a bit tough to read man pages, but the man page will tell you | 16:05 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, the point is that is a huge download at least the first time | 16:05 |
| monge | Hey guys, I'd like to be able to read and write files in a specific directory, but the access is set to root +rwx only. How do I use the chmod command to give my user priviliges to read and write? | 16:05 |
| Lungan | DocOC, OH, okey thank you | 16:05 |
| DocOC | Irc'ing, not irving | 16:05 |
| uRock | Djoef, wherever the Wondows MBR is, usually sda | 16:05 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: well, how does he auth work under cron, doenst it need to be interactive | 16:05 |
| rzx237 | hardhead: boot using live cd can help you doing partitioning | 16:05 |
| Djoef | uRock, so the disk as a whole or the windows parttition ? | 16:05 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, i specify in the query --username --password | 16:06 |
| uRock | Let the installer decide Djoef | 16:06 |
| hardhead | rzx237: even if I already have UBUNTU as MY OS? | 16:06 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, svn checkout $SVN_MACHINE $SOURCE_BACKUP --username $LOGIN --password $PASSWORD | 16:06 |
| DMDean | does anyone know how to strip the audio from a video without ffmpeg? | 16:06 |
| rzx237 | hardhead: yes, you can do resize partition | 16:06 |
| Djoef | well it fills in the disk as a whole as standard, but I don't know if that is because its the first option, or because it decided that | 16:06 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: hmmmm, so, if you copy and paste the exact command from the crontab to the command line it will run properly? | 16:07 |
| Djoef | so I can choose the disk as a whole, the windows partition, data, swap or ext4 | 16:07 |
| milamber | DMDean: handbrake might do what you are looking for? i'm not sure what the backend is though. | 16:07 |
| Djoef | for the record : I would like to have a menu to choose between linux and windows on startup, but that was clear i guess ;) | 16:07 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, error because i dont specify sudo, but asume that cron do it everything as root | 16:08 |
| raido | whos crontab are you using | 16:08 |
| osmosis_paul | ubuntut crontab of ubuntu | 16:09 |
| milamber | DMDean: i have also had quite a bit of luck w/ k9copy | 16:09 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: what user | 16:09 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, what do you mean? | 16:09 |
| MeanEYE | Hahah, I had to share this with you. I've been digging around the net and found this gem: "Linux is a free open-source operating on Unix. It's different then the Windows and Mac OSX operating system because it is freely distributed." | 16:09 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: all users have their own crontab | 16:09 |
| g_0_0 | DMDean, have you tried -an with ffmpeg ? | 16:09 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, is the same if i edit the /etc/crontab there you can specify the user and even putting as root does not works, i try the two ways | 16:10 |
| DMDean | g_0_0, yea | 16:10 |
| xangua | !ot | MeanEYE | 16:10 |
| ubottu | MeanEYE: #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! | 16:10 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: if the command needs SU privelages then use roots crontab | 16:10 |
| osmosis_paul | this way and the other one sudo crontab -e | 16:10 |
| magn3ts | How the hell do I turn off overtype in Linux on a mac keyboard? | 16:10 |

| zachaysan | hey everyone, I'm looking for help with fixing my wireless network since I made the upgrade (via complete reformat/reinstall) from 9.04 to 10.10 (both netbook editions of Ubuntu). My wired network works just fine, but I can't seem to get a list of wireless networks. Is this the right place to ask, or is there another, better place to do so? | 16:10 |
| DMDean | g_0_0, it compressed the video while I was doing it or whatever and made the quality crap | 16:10 |
| Homefix | recommend a channel for a compiling question that doesnt require an invite? | 16:10 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, yes and i can see that all the job of the other script was doing as root | 16:11 |

| milamber | Homefix: if you are looking for help on how to compile something on ubuntu, just ask the question. if anyone here can help you they will, otherwise we can probably point you in the right direction. | 16:11 |
| edwardteach | DMDean, ffmpeg -i somefile.mp4 -an somefile-2.mp4 | 16:11 |
| raido | os, so, you are root when you run crontab -e | 16:11 |
| magn3ts | Gnea, I meant Insert mode | 16:11 |
| Gnea | magn3ts: again, that's not very clear. insert mode works in vim. | 16:12 |
| mage3070 | zachaysan - hello | 16:12 |
| zachaysan | hi mage | 16:12 |
| g_0_0 | DMDean, just try - ffmpeg -i infile.avi -an -o outfile.avi | 16:12 |
| KB1JWQ | magn3ts: It's software dependant. | 16:12 |
| magn3ts | Gnea, I don't really know how else to explain overtype|insert mode. There's no other word for. It's what happens when you press the "Insert" key. | 16:12 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, maybe because is a very huge download he was mading and dont show any folder until he finish. Yes i use sudo with the command. Befopre i made a ps aux | grep cron and i have three process counting the grep, it is normal ?? | 16:12 |
| computer_ | whats the netbook version of ubuntu OS called again? | 16:13 |
| Homefix | am i registered now? | 16:13 |
| magn3ts | KB1JWQ: no, its Mac specific, I mean, maybe GNOME specific, but it's the same regardless of what editor I'm in. | 16:13 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, normaly when i execute the checkout expend 10 minutes in download everything | 16:13 |

| Gnea | magn3ts: when I press the 'insert' key on my keyboard, typing over left-arrowed text overwrites it, like it should, but if I press 'insert' again, it appends the text in place. is that what you mean? | 16:14 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: I dont think so | 16:14 |

| Toph | in Ubuntu 10.10, where do I find all my system info, processor, storage, etc? | 16:15 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: when you ran the exact command from the crontab on the command line you got a permissions error, right? | 16:15 |
| researcher1 | when I run the command "sh hplip-3.11.1.run" everything is OK. except I get "No network" Error. Im working this doc. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html | 16:15 |
| zachaysan | mage3070 - no, but is there a way I can check? ifconfig? (networking noob speaking) | 16:15 |
| osmosis_paul | if i dont sudo yes | 16:15 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: oh | 16:15 |
| osmosis_paul | oh whayt? cron works as root | 16:16 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: but with sudo it runs fine | 16:16 |
| androidbruce | Toph, you can go to System-Administration-System Monitor as a starting place | 16:16 |
| researcher1 | how to creat a root user on Ubuntu? | 16:16 |
| mage3070 | yes there is - It's a short terminal command that i can't quite remember now - it starts with ip | 16:16 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, so is the same that made sudo manually | 16:16 |
| androidbruce | Toph, you can also "cat /proc/cpuinfo | 16:16 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: ? | 16:16 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, is like i made su and then execute the command without sudo | 16:16 |
| androidbruce | researcher1, sudo adduser | 16:17 |
| osmosis_paul | cron is root user | 16:17 |
| Toph | androidbruce,,, thanks | 16:17 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, so he dont need sudo | 16:17 |
| zachaysan | mage3070 - ok let me google for it and get back to you | 16:17 |
| computer_ | ehh its not working xangua lol, | 16:17 |
| researcher1 | androidbruce: whats the complete command | 16:17 |
| magn3ts | Gnea, yes, indeedy. The problem is, Mac keyboards lack that button. | 16:17 |
| raido | you dont need to add sudo to the command in the crontab. You are using roots crontab | 16:17 |
| androidbruce | researcher1, do you already have access to the root user and want to create another user/ | 16:17 |
| magn3ts | For some reason the the Apple Keyboard ubuntu wiki page doesn't rank very highly. | 16:17 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, i dont add it | 16:18 |
| researcher1 | androidbruce: yes I do have | 16:18 |

| mage3070 | it's lspci | 16:18 |
| raido | researcher1: already there | 16:19 |
| osmosis_paul | raido, that's why if i copy the exact line from cron and execute in command line does not works | 16:19 |
| g_0_0 | DMDean, sorry the -o is a mistake just remove it | 16:19 |
| osmosis_paul | becuase i'm ubuntu user | 16:19 |
| raido | os | 16:19 |
| androidbruce | researcher1, in a default install with ubuntu root is preinstalled | 16:19 |
| androidbruce | and the password for root is the password for the default user you created | 16:19 |
| researcher1 | androidbruce: but the username is not root.I want username to be root | 16:19 |
| zachaysan | mage3070 - ok, I ran both lspci and lsusb | 16:19 |
| DMDean | g_0_0, ok it worked thanks :D | 16:19 |
| raido | osmosis_paul: you got me, I cant imaging why you are having trouble | 16:19 |
| androidbruce | researcher1, username root is there | 16:20 |
| g_0_0 | DMDean, you're welcome | 16:20 |

| thrope | any tips for completing an interrupted upgrade (hard reboot)... dpkg --configure -a seems to be continuing the package installs, but is there anything to do to ensure the "Cleaning up" step of the dist-upgrade installer completes? | 16:48 |

| soreau | drPoO: You can restart gdm with service gdm restart | 16:50 |
| xangua | RootChaos: upgrade to lucid, compile | 16:51 |
| whisperkiller | ok i am really frustrated now.... | 16:51 |
| whisperkiller | i installed 10.10 and my wireless was disabled | 16:51 |
| soreau | RootChaos: Which version of squid do you need? | 16:51 |
| movx | BluesKaj, the terminal took the commands and immediately retruned to prompt Is that the way the commands are supposed to work? | 16:51 |
| whisperkiller | and then i installed 10.4 and its still disabled | 16:52 |
| whisperkiller | what do i need to do to fix this | 16:52 |
| soreau | movx: Yes, no output generally means success | 16:52 |
| Djoef | Hm, should the bootloader be linked to the hdd as a whole /dev/sda or to the microsoft partition /dev/sda1 ( eg such that I can choose which os to start) | 16:52 |
| soreau | whisperkiller: Which wifi chip is it? | 16:52 |
| whisperkiller | the wireless originally worked with the live cd | 16:52 |
| RootChaos | xangua : i'm scared to do the distro upgrade remotely. I have done this once before but the upgrade didnt go smooth, resulted in me driving all the way to the server to re-install... | 16:52 |
| RootChaos | soreau, 2.7stable3 or > | 16:53 |
| whisperkiller | i cant remember...whats the ls command | 16:53 |
| soreau | whisperkiller: lspci | 16:53 |
| Jordan_U | Djoef: /dev/sda, installing to a partition requires the use of blocklists pointing to a file on a filesystem, which is not reliable. | 16:53 |

| jrib | devilcode1: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 16:56 |
| devilcode1 | ffmpeg i mean | 16:56 |
| whisperkiller | soreau sorry i normally try to use highlighting | 16:56 |

| RootChaos | i'm a bit weary to do the dist-upgrade remotely | 16:56 |
| RootChaos | in case it breaks | 16:56 |
| whisperkiller | soreau you mean right click the networking icon on the toolbar correct? | 16:56 |
| soreau | RootChaos: So for 8.04 you would need to build it or try to install the deb package(s) from karmic (not recommended) | 16:57 |
| soreau | whisperkiller: Yes, either left or right click there is a way to enable it | 16:57 |
| devilcode1 | Command Such As :: >> ffmpeg -i image%d.jpg video.mpg | 16:57 |
| RootChaos | hhmm | 16:57 |
| whisperkiller | soreau it wont let me enable it...ive tried that | 16:57 |

When i connect it to ubuntu in wmvare, the storage doesnt show on the workspace, but they are shown in the Places tab... ergo, i cannot access any of these 3 partitions... what should i do? | 17:27 |
| adeee_ | uRock what code? | 17:27 |
| cntb | anyone ready to discuss consider touchpad scrolling? | 17:27 |
| jrib | !helpme | cntb | 17:27 |
| ubottu | cntb: 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 | 17:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Sin`: is the vmware configured correctly to access USB correctly? | 17:27 |
| adeee_ | ikonia. if i buy a good ram. then my graphics are working? | 17:27 |
| uRock | adeee_, I said you con't fix ram with code, there is no code that can fix it | 17:27 |
| Sin` | well it did install a wmvare usb driver | 17:27 |
| Sin` | other than that i havent touched anything | 17:28 |
| ikonia | adeee_: I don't know about that, but you need a stable platform to debug isues | 17:28 |
| adeee_ | oh. ok urock. | 17:28 |
| cntb | ty jrib | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Sin`: I'd ask in #vmware they may know something. Have you tried virtualbox? | 17:28 |
| Sin` | no i have not | 17:28 |
| Sin` | i will try that | 17:28 |
| Sin` | let you know if it works | 17:28 |

| whisperkiller | soreau it does but it wont highlight....https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Atheros/AR9285 | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Sin`: the vmware guys can check your config is good, then we can start looking into the OS | 17:29 |
| Sin` | ok | 17:29 |
| Sin` | thank you | 17:29 |
| Sin` | is the chanell on this server? | 17:29 |
| juso | damn ubuntu needs to become more mainstream in the eyes of major retailers and such. | 17:29 |
| adeee_ | ikonia So what your suggestion. how much ram. and graphics require for ubuntu. i have current 512mb ram. and 1.6 g HZ processor with 80 gb hard. | 17:29 |
| juso | cant use ubuntu as a main desktop until then. | 17:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Sin`: sure, just type: /join #vmware | 17:29 |
| cntb | just how helpful it was > jrib | 17:29 |
| soreau | whisperkiller: Well that tells you what to do right there.. have you installed the backports yet? | 17:30 |
| Sin` | ok. thank you | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: go ask Dell about Ubuntu | 17:30 |
| jrib | cntb: I have no idea what your actual issue is. That's why you should just ask your question and be patient | 17:30 |
| ikonia | adeee_: as much as you can afford | 17:30 |
| cntb | sorry jrib ^^^ | 17:30 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: wait, so just because ubuntu isn't "mainstream" you won't use it? | 17:30 |
| tishammer | hello | 17:31 |
| juso | ActionParsnip, i said i CANT, not wont. I have too many external devices that arent supported in linux. | 17:31 |
| soreau | hi tishammer | 17:31 |
| uRock | adeee_, is the RAM for your server or a Desktop machine? | 17:31 |
| cntb | will come back later | 17:31 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: then thats the peripheral sellers fault, you could bother them to support Linux more | 17:32 |
| tishammer | i'm trying to increase my i/o performance. every i/o intensive task is pretty slow and risens %wa. on a fast computer doing something like "for i in *.gz; do gunzip $i; done" is taking 30% cpu and 30%wa. any ideas? | 17:32 |
| adeee_ | Urock this is for desktop machine | 17:32 |
| soreau | juso: What external devices? | 17:32 |
| uRock | do you have a graphics card or just the graphics that are built in? | 17:32 |
| MrMintanet2 | Can someone tell me how I can setup my Ubuntu box to act as a file server? I want to be able to map windows computers to it over the internet rather than LAN. | 17:32 |
| whisperkiller | soreau no i have not i am about to try it...the main thing is i wanted to talk to someone who knows what they are talking about before i went through and trying to update everything this time | 17:32 |
| MrMintanet2 | Can someone tell me how I can setup my Ubuntu box to act as a file server? I want to be able to map windows computers to it over the internet rather than LAN. | 17:32 |
| MrMintanet2 | Sorry | 17:32 |
| juso | ActionParsnip, so you're saying if all major retailers sold linux as an option OS, the manufactures wont start supporting? come on now.. lets get serious | 17:33 |
| whisperkiller | soreau i spent two hours updating and setting things up last time to have someone tell me i needed to install a different version | 17:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tishammer: you could look into hdparm | 17:33 |
| uRock | MrMintanet2, right click and share the files | 17:33 |
| MrMintanet2 | uRock, Can you not give any more info than that? I am behind a corporate firewall. I am the network admin though. | 17:33 |
| === Prajwal_ is now known as Prajwal | ||
| soreau | whisperkiller: I'd say by the looks of that wiki page, you need to install the backports package. You may have to do this for really new hardware before the driver makes it into the kernel | 17:34 |
| whisperkiller | soreau im really glad i caught you though because you kinda helped me figure out whats going on....always appreciate the help mate | 17:34 |
| soreau | whisperkiller: No problem, let me know if it works | 17:34 |
| juso | soreau, canon camera/software, a specific wireless keyword, a all in one fax/printer/scanner - plus a few more | 17:34 |

| soreau | juso: wireless keyword? | 17:34 |
| twitch | !samba | MrMintanet2 | 17:34 |
| ubottu | MrMintanet2: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 17:34 |
| sjm | MrMintanet, you might ask more over on #ubuntu-server, but it's basically Samba setup issues and security and firewall ports, I would think. | 17:34 |
| whisperkiller | soreau yes someone mentioned installing the backports earlier...i just wanted to make sure what was up | 17:34 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: if Linux got as much support as the companies give to Window there wouldnt be an issue. Sadly many are ignorant. Companies like IBM, Nvidia, Intel, Brother and HP make great Linux drivers and support very well | 17:35 |
| twitch | !iptables | MrMintanet2 | 17:35 |
| ubottu | MrMintanet2: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 17:35 |
| uRock | MrMintanet2 if you are sharing to the outside world, then you'll have to forward ports, otherwise just sharing the folder should make it avail to everyone on the network | 17:35 |

| uRock | adeee_, 32bit or 64bit OS? | 17:35 |
| soreau | juso: I don't see why any of those devices wouldn't work in linux.. maybe you could set up vbox in ubuntu with whatever OS to connect to devices on the usb bus | 17:35 |
| adeee_ | 32 bit os | 17:35 |
| MrMintanet2 | uRock, I want it to map over the internet. Could you possibly break this process down? | 17:35 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: I think the companies would have to support the OS if they want the "new OS" users to buy their products | 17:36 |
| uRock | MrMintanet2 that is beyond my abilities | 17:36 |
| soreau | juso: But yea, really if your device vendor doesn't support linux, it might be time to consider a better vendor ;) | 17:36 |
| juso | soreau, come on now.. install linux, then install another OS ina virtual enviorment to get my devices to work.... | 17:36 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: amen to what soreau said, vote with yor wallet. Don't give money to companies not supporting Linux | 17:37 |
| soreau | juso: Or get better devices, it's up to you really | 17:37 |
| MrMintanet2 | Can someone tell me how I can setup my Ubuntu box to act as a file server? I want to be able to map windows computers to it over the internet rather than LAN. | 17:37 |
| BluesKaj | movx, dunno how else to help , looks like a failed install ...perhaps a reinstall is in order | 17:37 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: what make / model is the printer / scanner (please not lexmark).....? | 17:37 |
| juso | soreau, so how good a device is depends on if its supported in linux? lol | 17:37 |
| soreau | MrMintanet: There's plenty of different configurations and protocols you can use to set that up. Try being more specific with your question or use google | 17:38 |
| juso | ActionParsnip, i can print to it, but I cant use the scan to computer options and such, which is why i use it mainly. | 17:38 |
| MrMintanet2 | soreau, I am wanting to MAP a network drive OVER THE INTERNET. This is very specific. | 17:38 |
| uRock | MrMintanet2 if you need help with your routers/switches, then you should visit the IRC for your brand equipment | 17:38 |
| soreau | juso: Yes, that should tell you something about their company | 17:38 |
| twitch | MrMintanet2: look at samba, port forwarding for you firewall or vpn access. It's to complicated for in here something you will spend time reading about | 17:38 |
| mia158 | MrMintanet2: You should do this via a vpn connection to the corporate net. once that vpn connection is established you would then connect as if they are on the LAN. | 17:38 |
| ActionParsnip | MrMintanet2: if you install openssh-server, you have an SFTP server already :) | 17:38 |
| soreau | MrMintanet: Try #networking maybe | 17:39 |

| MrMintanet2 | Thanks everyone. | 17:39 |
| MrMintanet2 | I will hunt | 17:39 |
| ActionParsnip | MrMintanet2: sftp is great for WAN access as it's secure | 17:39 |
| soreau | heh, MrMintanet just got answerized ;) | 17:39 |
| llutz | MrMintanet2:use a vpn or ssh to tunnel nfs/cifs | 17:39 |
| jkg | camera ... software? aren't they all just usb-storage devices these days? | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: what make / model is the printer/scanner please? | 17:40 |
| uRock | drc, it is not nice to call people trolls | 17:40 |
| MrMintanet2 | To everyone suggesting VPN or SSH, I realize these are options. I would like to rely on Windows Authentication as my means to connect. | 17:40 |
| juso | ActionParsnip, i need the specific software to run NOT an alternative. | 17:40 |
| soreau | juso: Nobody cares about software. If the driver is in the kernel and the device works, that's enough. If you want the little pretty software doodads with bells and whistles, use windows, wine or a VM | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: my girlfriends does as I take the SD card out and jam it in a card reader. Ironically it's a Kodak whom HATE linux | 17:40 |

| tishammer | ActionParsnip: i did hdparm it, and it's fast | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | tishammer: nice | 17:41 |
| soreau | juso: Most cameras are block devices that justwork in linux | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: what make / model is the printer / scanner please? | 17:41 |
| tishammer | ActionParsnip: i have 97MB/s buffered reads on hdparm | 17:42 |
| juso | soreau, i am taling about the camera software, canon EOS utility | 17:42 |
| sjm | juso, you are avoiding the questions as to the makes and models that don't work for you. | 17:42 |
| soreau | juso: What functionality does this 'eos' provide? | 17:42 |
| juso | soreau, google it. | 17:42 |
| tishammer | ActionParsnip: the same operations are 4x faster on my macbook with mac osx. tested on linux with on different hardware, still slow | 17:42 |
| movx | BluesKaj, thanks for all the help, you brought me close to a solution, it is a netbook 10.04 with plenty of data, several kernel image updates, will keep have to keep trying somehow. | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: found this, seems Canon Coolpiz works nice: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502511 | 17:42 |
| soreau | juso: If you want help with your devices, install ubuntu then show us the output of lsusb and lspci | 17:42 |
| JuJuBee | Anybody know if I can use include-from and exclude-from in rsync at same time? | 17:42 |
| ActionParsnip | tishammer: is the system a macbook? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | JuJuBee: should be able to | 17:42 |
| soreau | juso: No, you're here for support, not me. You do the googling | 17:43 |
| tishammer | ActionParsnip: the fast one is a macbook with mac os. the slow ones are desktops / racks with ubuntu 10.10 | 17:43 |
| erkan^ | !gnome-shell | 17:43 |
| soreau | ! unity | erkan^ | 17:43 |
| ubottu | erkan^: Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | tishammer: then obviously it will be better. The OS is custom made for the exact hardware you are using. If you look at the spec of a PS3 or an XBOX360 they SUCK but the games are custom made to run well onsuch poor hardware | 17:43 |
| juso | soreau, i never asked for help or support, i am TELLING YOU - the software doesn't run on linux, and i need that specific software. | 17:44 |
| movx | BluesKaj, bye for now.. it is almost midnight here... thanks again | 17:44 |
| ikonia | juso: ok, contact the vendor for a Linux version of the software | 17:44 |
| erkan^ | what is unity, soreau ? | 17:44 |
| soreau | juso: If you aren't helping or getting help, you may leave. This is the ubuntu support channel | 17:44 |
| drc | juso: That's like buying a camper shell for your old Ford truck and being upset when it doesn't fit your new Chevy Truck | 17:44 |
| soreau | erkan^: That factoid just told you | 17:44 |
| ikonia | juso: problem solved. Good luck | 17:44 |
| erkan^ | ok | 17:44 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: how can we "google" what hardware YOU have?? | 17:44 |

| sjm | juso, you were also asked about printer/scanner/keyboards that you said didn't work. | 17:47 |
| juso | wow im popular. | 17:47 |
| mia158 | MrMintanet2: look at this doc for your file sharing setup. You should address your internet connection solution as a separate issue. | 17:47 |
| Fuchs | juso: you don't need EOS software in linux, or at least I have no idea why you would need it | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: I found about 50 different Canon EOS model, care to narrow it down? | 17:48 |
| mia158 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComprehensiveSambaGuide | 17:48 |
| * AbhijiT eonders what is EOS btw!!! ;) | 17:48 | |
| Fuchs | juso: digikam detects the EOS models fine, is able to download pictures, as well as handling raw pictures. For firmware updates you don't need it either | 17:48 |
| AbhijiT | w* | 17:48 |
| jpds | AbhijiT: Canon camera OS software. | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | AbhijiT: its a range of cameras from Canon | 17:48 |
| AbhijiT | ohhh okay! | 17:48 |
| Fuchs | AbhijiT: dslr cameras from canon, but he is refering to the software | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: what model EOS do you have>? | 17:48 |
| AbhijiT | hmm | 17:49 |
| juso | Fuchs, I need it for real time viewing and recording, along with options to control the camera. | 17:49 |
| jpds | AbhijiT: Quite nice cameras too. | 17:49 |
| AbhijiT | jpds, okay! :) | 17:49 |
| jpds | juso: Then, you'll have to talk to Canon about that. | 17:49 |
| ikonia | juso: ok, so thats something you need to speak to cannon about | 17:49 |
| ikonia | we can move on now | 17:49 |
| ActionParsnip | juso: until you reply to my perfectly reasonable question, nobody can help you at all | 17:49 |
| soreau | heh | 17:49 |
| juso | jpds, cannon doesn't support linux on their software, for the 5th time. end of story, wow. | 17:49 |
| Fuchs | juso: in that case you have to run it in a virtualisation solution which passes through usb | 17:49 |
| Fuchs | juso: such as virtual box. | 17:50 |
| ikonia | juso: ok, so there is nothing more to say, | 17:50 |

| ubottu | invisiblek: 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 :) | 17:54 |
| ikonia | "did" sorry | 17:54 |
| wulfy | ActionParsnip, im off to buy iver a blackberry or a droid tommrow.... i kinda think with the ubuntu support i might go for the droid | 17:54 |
| invisilux | But is it possible to sync task and calender with the nokia e72 and evolution? | 17:55 |
| ikonia | invisilux: short answer, no | 17:55 |
| Fuchs | wulfy: definitely android, since the most important things (file transfer, tethering) will work out of the box | 17:55 |
| AbhijiT | !manual | invisilux | 17:55 |

| wulfy | Fuchs, great :) | 17:55 |
| stianhj | wulfy: +1 for Android | 17:55 |
| ikonia | AbhijiT: why have you just given him the manual for a Nokia E72 question on ubuntu ? | 17:55 |

| ActionParsnip | wulfy: it does a lot, i recommend droid and tonnes of my friends are dropping apple's rubbish for android based handsets | 17:56 |
| AbhijiT | ikonia, because he said he is new to ubuntua nd linux | 17:56 |
| ikonia | invisilux: the straight sync using tools like gnokia don't work, | 17:56 |

| Tigger__ | MrMintanet: My battery is ok but my clock losses a little a bit of time now n again | 19:40 |
| Tigger__ | losses | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: someting like: route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth0 etc | 19:41 |
| MrMintanet2 | Tigger__, Are your time zone settings accurate? Have you checked? | 19:41 |
| Tigger__ | the battery is good only losses a little bit | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: prefix with sudo | 19:41 |
| alienkid10 | BluesKaj: that's something I know (if t's the IP to connect to the routers config page) where can I add it? | 19:41 |
| Tigger__ | MrMintanet: yes timezone is perfect it just loses a minute or two | 19:41 |
| gnewb | Tigger__: Check BIOS time is a good starting point as was mentioned by MrMintanet2, also tzdata and some other CLI calls will find it out for you. | 19:41 |
| BluesKaj | alienkid10, read ActionParsnip 's post to me above | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | alienkid10: sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth0 change eth0 for the interface you are using and 192.168.0.1 for the routers config page IP | 19:42 |

| ActionParsnip | Roasted: users can connect to wirelesses as they need. I believe (I could be wrong), that users not in the admin group cannot change wireless conectivity options | 20:49 |

| ActionParsnip | cuppsy: do you mean Mac installers? | 20:49 |

| OraLinda | Hi all. | 20:50 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I was just concerned about the wireless key being able to be seen by the click of a button. Granted I'm in the admin group, but I do NOT have to put in a root PW to look in network manager and check ":show key" for wireless. | 20:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: users not in the admin group (as far as I know) cannot join wirelesses | 20:51 |
| arand | Roasted: There is some settings in the "advanced" section of users and groups in the dmin menu | 20:51 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I was thinking about a mass deployment of ubuntu standpoint... I work at a school, so if I hand out 200 laptops with wireless connected, I do NOT want the students to know the key. They'll just turn around and get on it with their phones and personal devices. | 20:51 |

| EddFace | erUSUL will do, so im assuming i can use apt-get with "fusion-icon"? | 21:03 |

| Phoul | Hello folks, I noticed the maverick version of virt-manager frontend for KVM is currently insanely buggy, theres a lot of confirmed reports against it marked as fixed in natty, is there a PPA around that has the updated packages or is it possible to get virt-manager directly from Natty? | 21:04 |
| vish | bc81: pls dont suggest "compiz --replace" , that is wrong.. use just "compiz" instead | 21:04 |
| vish | EddFace: ^ | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubuntu-user: go to www.java.com and get the 32bit windows one. If you want java in your Linux apps you can install java from the partner repo | 21:05 |
| bc81 | vish: same for metacity? | 21:05 |
| EddFace | Vish, so is metacity less graphics intensive than compiz? | 21:05 |
| vish | no, metacity needs the --replace | 21:05 |
| vish | EddFace: bc81: "compiz" on its own implies the --replace , if you add the --replace you need to specify *all* the paramenters required to run compiz | 21:06 |
| bc81 | vish: thanks for the tip :) | 21:06 |
| vish | np.. | 21:06 |
| EddFace | vish; so i would do "metacity --replace all"? im really new to terminal | 21:07 |
| vish | EddFace: just "metacity --replace" | 21:07 |
| EddFace | Vish: will do | 21:07 |
| angell | Can I perform a hard drive format while I am booted from linux using unetbootin and by the way it is pulling the iso from a usb flash drive. | 21:08 |
| EddFace | bc81: In the compiz fusion icon when selecting metacity as the main window manager, would i still need to run metacity --replace? | 21:09 |
| bc81 | EddFace: no, that does it for you | 21:09 |
| EddFace | bc81 gotcha | 21:09 |
| ActionParsnip | angell: as long as the partition is unmounted you can manipulate it | 21:09 |
| vish | EddFace: and yea, metacity should be less graphics intensive.. btw, you can disable compiz by just setting the visual effects to None in System » Preferences » Apprearance | 21:09 |
| vish | visual effects tab | 21:10 |
| EddFace | ahh ok | 21:10 |
| vish | EddFace: no need for the fusion icon either.. | 21:10 |
| EddFace | bc81: erUSUL: Vish: thanks for your help guys | 21:10 |
| vish | yw.. | 21:11 |

| GeekMan | you cant see the fan on my case so | 21:17 |
| GeekMan | its a laptop | 21:17 |

| ubuntu_ | i installed windows 7, and found out that i can't get to my ubuntu 10.4. then i tried to use a guide on ubuntu-geek, wich didn't work. then i tried to use Ultimate Boot CD, and completely ruined my computer | 21:24 |
| TuffPoo | hey guys do you think if i put a live CD in a windows computer that blue screens it wold tell me what piece of hardwares is causing it? | 21:24 |
| GeekMan | #>_<# sry its a ibookg4 ... i use it for school work | 21:24 |
| induz_ | home | 21:24 |
| adub | stupid thinig keeps asking me for my wifi password | 21:24 |
| MiniMatt_x | erm | 21:24 |
| maco | TuffPoo: no | 21:24 |
| KB1JWQ | TuffPoo: That assumes the crash is hardware based. | 21:24 |
| MiniMatt_x | ubuntu_ | 21:24 |
| GeekMan | 2003 model 12" | 21:24 |
| vish | induz_: the app name is "homebank" | 21:24 |
| ubuntu_ | MiniMatt_x: what sould i do? | 21:24 |
| maco | TuffPoo: i mean, if you mounted and used the drive, and if that was the problem...youd get io errors in logs and ok sure.. | 21:24 |
| MiniMatt_x | im assuming you now have a windows bootloader | 21:24 |
| drc | gbear14275: was this a upgrade or a reinstall to 10.10 | 21:24 |
| induz_ | is it for state and federal for USA? | 21:25 |
| bc81 | induz_: not sure, but search the ubuntu software center for "finance" and maybe one of those programs will be of help | 21:25 |
| maco | TuffPoo: and you can run a memtest from the cd. but if its the audio or video chip or a usb port going funky... | 21:25 |
| ubuntu_ | MiniMatt_x: no, i don't | 21:25 |
| MiniMatt_x | then i dont know xD | 21:25 |
| induz_ | vish, how can i get it? | 21:25 |
| maco | TuffPoo: or if its power fluctuations from a dying psu.... no, a live cd won't tell you | 21:25 |
| GeekMan | any ways the site im reading is talking about install on slackware and he tells you a program to activate the fan anyways is slackware packages very diffrent to debian | 21:25 |
| gbear14275 | drc, reinstall | 21:25 |
| vish | induz_: see in software center | 21:25 |
| MiniMatt_x | tbh im trying to find a chinese person to translate my scrolls | 21:25 |

| drc | gbear14275: anything in System>Admin>additional drivers | 21:26 |
| induz_ | something like turbotax | 21:26 |
| mkanyicy | TuffPoo: you have windows? | 21:26 |
| maco | induz_: tax software needs to be rewritten/updated each year to keep up with new tax laws so AFAIK is only available proprietary. for linux users, ths means we use the online versions instead of desktop versions to file taxes | 21:26 |
| induz_ | is it possible on openoffice/ | 21:26 |
| ubuntu_ | look guys, im really lost here | 21:26 |
| maco | induz_: there is no desktop software for linux to do taxes aside from the calculator app | 21:27 |
| induz_ | maco, online version asks for $$ | 21:27 |
| ubuntu_ | and how do i write in colors, and to specific people? | 21:27 |
| TuffPoo | mkanyicy: yea but im on my fedora laptop as of right now and i wana put ubuntu on my friends | 21:27 |

| maco | induz_: when you go to irs.gov it should give you list of about 20 online filing services, including like h&r block's online thing | 21:28 |
| mickster04 | ubuntu_: do you have any data on the harddrive? | 21:28 |
| ubuntu_ | mickster04: second | 21:28 |
| induz_ | maco, ok I have to check that | 21:29 |
| ubuntu_ | mickster04: of course | 21:29 |
| mickster04 | ubuntu_: well windows can't see ubuntu harddrives usually cos they are in ext4 file format | 21:29 |
| mickster04 | which ubuntu can't read | 21:29 |
| mickster04 | ubuntu_: so you need to reinstall ubuntu.... | 21:29 |
| Starminn | mickster: *which Windows can't read/ Ubuntu CAN | 21:29 |
| induz_ | maco, so its possible online but not through Ubuntu or openoffice | 21:29 |
| maco | mickster04: you mean which windows cant read ;-) | 21:29 |
| maco | induz_: right | 21:29 |
| maco | induz_: i mean, you can use ubuntu to get online to do it... :P | 21:29 |
| mickster04 | ubuntu_: that way you'll get a boot loader that can see both windows and ubuntu | 21:29 |
| drc | gbear14275: darn...thought it might be easy...try rtl8180+ubuntu+10.10 in google...it seems there is lots of discussion about this, haven't found a solution yet | 21:30 |

| Jgalt | is there an easy way to repair an internet connection? | 21:42 |
| MrMintanet2 | xangua, It's not that perfect... Obviously, not a single person responded with Yes/No, and therefore both you and Starminn are jack asses. | 21:42 |
| MrMintanet2 | Just saying | 21:43 |
| Clavin12 | Every time I leave my computer alone for a bit it will go black for a second then take to the login screen as if I had just booted up. | 21:43 |
| Starminn | MrMintanet2: I wasn't saying that. Just asking for details. :) Though I'll admit I should probably have used the "details" call. Good point | 21:43 |

| Datz | Hi, I want to install a virus scanner on an my external Ubuntu HDD install. What is recommended? | 21:43 |
| maco | MrMintanet2: no thanks. i'd rather kick. | 21:43 |
| mickster04 | !virus | Datz | 21:43 |
| ubottu | Datz: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 21:43 |
| BluesKaj | Jgalt, ethernet or wifi | 21:44 |
| Jgalt | ethernet | 21:44 |
| mickster04 | Jgalt: try sudo dhclient eth0 (tab complete that) | 21:44 |
| Datz | mickster04: thanks, I'll try out clamAV | 21:44 |
| mickster04 | Datz: yep | 21:44 |
| Jgalt | thanks i'll try that | 21:45 |
| tim | RWW: thank you very much I've managed to connect to a channel in Spanish but it was a nice gesture to try to help. thanks. | 21:45 |
| MrMintanet2 | Datz, I use clamAV, but be careful about letting it automatically delete files that are found to be corrupt. I have had quite a few false positives lately. | 21:45 |
| tim | RWW: thank you very much I've managed to connect to a channel in Spanish but it was a nice gesture to try to help. thanks. | 21:45 |
| BluesKaj | Jgalt, ping 8.8.8.8 in the terninal , is there a connection ? | 21:45 |
| Datz | MrMintanet2: thanks. I'll have to check out that option in the config | 21:46 |

| BluesKaj | Jgalt, ok here's a tutorial that might work for you in ubuntu , http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | MrMintanet2: dia maybe? | 21:47 |
| tim | bye | 21:47 |
| rww | GeekMan: that page says to copy the script file below to a text editor, save, and run it instead of grabbing it from the source. | 21:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Jgalt: you can chroot, or even edit config files and such | 21:48 |
| GeekMan | OH thx | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Clavin12: could use youtube-dl | 21:48 |
| MrMintanet2 | mickster04, ActionParsnip, I found Google Draw to work well, but it's very... crappy. :) DIA is good, but still somewhat limited. I suppose that I'd probably have found a better solution by now... Just figured I'd ask. Thx | 21:48 |
| mickster04 | GeekMan: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/iwizard/DistroPackageInstall | 21:49 |
| mickster04 | GeekMan: that's all you need to do | 21:49 |
| bc81 | Clavin12: the FF addon "DownloadHelper" works well, too | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | MrMintanet2: does it not fly with wine? | 21:49 |
| maco | MrMintanet2: you can add new widgets to dia | 21:49 |
| Clavin12 | ActionParsnip: All right then. It's just that I saw a video of it clearly working in a previous build, and wonder if something has changed. | 21:49 |
| guntbert | MrMintanet: look at dia (not so powerful but easier) | 21:49 |
| maco | MrMintanet2: draw them in inkscape (or find some online) and import into dia | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Clavin12: not sure dude, sorry | 21:49 |
| Starminn | Clavin12: Just bear in mind that Firefox clears its temps when closed. | 21:49 |
| Clavin12 | yeah | 21:50 |
| MrMintanet2 | ActionParsnip, I try to stay away from Wine if possible. | 21:50 |
| Jgalt | thanks for the help everyone | 21:50 |

| angell | I am manually installing ubuntu 10.04 and I need to know before I go on further with the installation ( I do not have too much of a hard drive on this older this system to divide -- I am working with a 12GB Hard Drive here ) | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | angell: 12Gb is loads | 21:55 |
| angell | ActionParsnip: So 5GB set for the ext4 is okay? | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | angell: you can get away with 5Gb easily, will have space for updates too | 21:56 |
| Wipster | evning all bit of issues with printer, har har har. Apparently support was added in sane 1.0.19 or 20 and I see I have 1.0.21 installed but it doesn't appear on the database when I connect and get asked to choose | 21:56 |

| ikonia | induz_: is it in the repos | 21:59 |

| mickster04 | GeekMan: i assume you don't have a special kernel? cos if so just do http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/iwizard/Detection | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | angell: i use 5Gb for /, 3Gb swap and the rest for home on this lappy (has 1.5Gb RAM) | 21:59 |
| mickster04 | GeekMan: as in if you have the normal kernel use the above lkink | 21:59 |
| GeekMan | k | 21:59 |
| mickster04 | ActionParsnip: is there an amount of RAM where you don't need swap? | 22:00 |
| xangua | induz_: follow cinelerra's web instructions | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mickster04: if you have enough RAM for your needs then its not needed. No swap ==no hibernate. | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mickster04: if I had 4Gb swap and all I did was chat and web browse I wouldn't have swap | 22:00 |

| gbear14275 | REALLY!!!!! this dang wireless is the only thing in between me and success!!! and i don't have any internet connection for this thing other than a modem and a non-functional wireless card... | 22:03 |

| mickster04 | deuterium: ext is the file format? whe you install ubuntu you can select that as the file format... | 22:03 |
| gbear14275 | anyone know if I can configure a modem port to work with dsl? | 22:03 |
| soreau | gbear14275: What card is it? | 22:03 |

| UndiFineD | http://paste.ubuntu.com/568450/ | 22:03 |
| gbear14275 | tew-226pc, rtl8180L is what lspci is reporting | 22:03 |
| ikonia | UndiFineD: #netfilter is the iptables channel | 22:04 |
| dataviruset | ActionParsnip: the thing is 10.04.2 isn't there yet. but the release date is today :( | 22:04 |
| deuterium | mickster04: afaik, the default is ext4. yes, it could be set differently at install. | 22:04 |
| gbear14275 | ActionParsnip, lshw isn't installed | 22:04 |
| soreau | ! who | gbear14275 | 22:04 |
| ubottu | gbear14275: 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 :) | 22:04 |
| deuterium | ikonia: i run ubuntu inside a vmware virtual machine and shrink tools don't work for ext4 partitions, only ext2. | 22:04 |
| UndiFineD | thanks ikonia | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gbear14275: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RTL8180L | 22:04 |
| gbear14275 | soreau, sorry | 22:04 |
| ikonia | deuterium: doesn't use vmware tools with it | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | dataviruset: try a little later | 22:04 |
| ischliky | is anyone familiar with having 3 or more monitors in ubuntu, making it 1 large desktop, the only guides i seem to find seem horridly outdated | 22:04 |
| ikonia | deuterium: "don't" sorry | 22:04 |
| ikonia | ischliky: how many video cards | 22:05 |
| dataviruset | ActionParsnip: ok, but i'm in a hurry :p | 22:05 |
| Datz | MrMintanet: I don't see a man page for clamav, does it go by another name? | 22:05 |
| ischliky | likely using 2 cards, hoping for a 2:2 set up that is all one desktop | 22:05 |
| deuterium | ikonia: well, i created a clone now, effectively shrinking the image without vmware tools. but i'm still interested in whether one can just boot into ext2 instead of ext4. | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Datz: you can install calmtk and use a GUI | 22:05 |
| ischliky | mostly i found some conflicting information about 3d acceleration being avaiable on all the screens | 22:06 |
| ikonia | deuterium: it's based on the same core file system but a much later version, it's not look ext3 being ext2+journal | 22:06 |
| ikonia | ischliky: how many video cards | 22:06 |
| Datz | ActionParsnip: ah, ok thanks I'll consider that | 22:06 |
| Datz | ActionParsnip: have you used it, is it any good? | 22:06 |
| ischliky | ikonia: 2 cards, both nvidia | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Datz: i recommend you add the clamav ppa for newer defs and engine | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Datz: yeah its sweet | 22:07 |
| Datz | ActionParsnip: thanks, I will | 22:07 |
| gbear14275 | ActionParsnip, thanks... although I thought this was all resolved in 10.04... what confuses me is that it just can't see networks in 10.10 | 22:07 |
| Datz | ActionParsnip: ubottu have any info on that? | 22:07 |
| ikonia | ischliky: ok, so you won't get 3 acceleration, you can use twinview, but that only supports multiple monitors on one card, or the non-propitary drivers, in which case no acceleration | 22:07 |
| xangua | didn't know there was a ppa for it :) | 22:07 |

| ischliky | ikonia: thank you for information, will stick with just 2 monitors then for now, as i need 3d acceleration more then i need 4 screens | 22:08 |

I hooked it up properly, and tried using it. It worked when switching from the win7 machine to the ubuntu one, but after the (1st and only) successful switch, ubuntu just didn't seem to recognize my mouse or keyboard which are both USB | 22:09 |
| willystylee | (plugged into kvm switch) | 22:09 |
| cschneid | rww: thanks for the help, stopgap completed, will schedule a full upgrade for later. | 22:09 |
| ikonia | willystylee: does the kvm support linux ? | 22:09 |
| willystylee | ikonia: i dont know, it says it works for sun win and mac | 22:10 |
| Datz | ActionParsnip: I'm not seeing a package clamtk | 22:10 |
| ikonia | willystylee: ok, so checking Linux support is worth while | 22:10 |
| willystylee | i dont know why it woundnt be bale to work with linux tho | 22:11 |
| willystylee | be able* | 22:11 |
| GeekMan | so now what No modules to load, skipping modules configuration. | 22:11 |
| willystylee | soo.... | 22:11 |
| willystylee | ? | 22:11 |

| willystylee | isnt there some sorta workaround?? | 22:12 |
| ikonia | willystylee: ???? you don't even know if it's supported, what are you trying to work around | 22:12 |
| GeekMan | mickster04: i finished but there was no driver for the device | 22:12 |

| Datz | ActionParsnip: something like this: -> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa ? | 22:14 |
| soreau | ikonia: Right, but are you saying not even multiple outputs work for just one card with nouveau? | 22:15 |
| gbear14275 | soreau, wlan0 No scan results <-- there are at least 5 local networks (apartment building) | 22:15 |
| soreau | gbear14275: hmm.. is the interface up? ifconfig wlan0 up | 22:16 |
| ikonia | soreau: you'll get multiple outputs on one card, sure | 22:16 |

| gbear14275 | soreau, yeah its up | 22:16 |
| ikonia | soreau: no, I said it's not going to happen on 2 cards acting as one | 22:16 |

| soreau | gbear14275: Well if scanning that way doesn't work, what about 'sudo iw dev wlan0 scan' (if you can get iw installed) | 22:18 |
| gbear14275 | iw not installed... | 22:19 |
| gbear14275 | what package is it in? soreau | 22:19 |

| gbear14275 | soreau, crap, can't find it | 22:19 |
| gbear14275 | one sec... may have to try and download it and move it over manually | 22:19 |
| soreau | gbear14275: but if scanning doesn't work, it's probably a driver issue. | 22:20 |
| soreau | gbear14275: Is this maverick? | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Datz: indeed, thats you adding the ppa | 22:20 |
| gbear14275 | soreau, 10.10 | 22:20 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: Datz: What additional does the clamav ppa provide? | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: later definitions and engine version than the official repos | 22:22 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: ok thanks | 22:23 |
| Datz | ActionParsnip: thanks. defs are updated it says, not sure how to add a newer engine though | 22:23 |
| Datz | soreau: I'm guessing updated virus database | 22:24 |
| soreau | Datz: I thought it downloaded the database from a server separately | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Datz: its all in the updates from the PPA | 22:25 |
| Datz | ActionParsnip: I see | 22:25 |

| bhirsch | Anyone have a minute for a question? | 22:27 |
| bhirsch | I recently installed Ubuntu on a ThinkPad 510. My machine often has trouble waking up after going to sleep or hibernating. I've been told patches are easy to find if I Google around. But I haven't found anything. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. | 22:27 |

| gbear14275 | soreau, got iw installed, no value returned | 22:31 |
| gbear14275 | how would I import the kernel driver from previous releases into this one? | 22:32 |
| induz | hello I have an iso file i dont have DVD/Cd burner right now, How can i mount those files on Lucid? | 22:32 |
| induz | <induz_> is it possible | 22:32 |
| soreau | gbear14275: It might be a driver issue then. Look for any interesting messages in syslog or the output of dmesg | 22:32 |
| soreau | gbear14275: It was working before? Then you need to file a bug | 22:32 |
| induz | without burning on DVD/CD is it possible to load iso file on Lucid | 22:32 |
| maco | induz: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/your.iso /mnt | 22:32 |
| soreau | induz: mount -o loop /what/maco/said | 22:33 |
| Nisstyre | maco, no need to specify the filesystem type | 22:33 |
| Nisstyre | mount can detect it automatically | 22:33 |
| maco | Nisstyre: usually yes, but ive had it fail at that with isos, so i do it to be safe | 22:33 |
| induz | what is the final command to mount iso | 22:33 |
| gbear14275 | soreau, it worked with LM9 (which is based on 10.04) also doesn't work with lm10... | 22:33 |
| induz | is there any GUI for that? | 22:33 |
| maco | Nisstyre: granted, that was a few years ago, but now its habit | 22:33 |
| maco | induz: no, no gui. there should be. hrmph. i should take that as a papercut next release cycle | 22:34 |
| maco | induz: the thing i said will work | 22:34 |
| brontoeee | what would it mean when viewing remote ftp folders in nautilus : the permissions of 'folder name' cant be determined ? | 22:34 |
| soreau | maco: papercut? | 22:34 |
| induz | maco, what is -t there? | 22:34 |
| Nisstyre | induz, I doubt it, because that would be a waste. Normally stuff gets mounted automatically because it's put under /dev and programs like nautilus mount them for you. | 22:34 |
| gbear14275 | soreau, how can I look through the syslog and dmesg? on xubuntu... log viewer doesn't seem to be installed | 22:34 |
| Nisstyre | but with isos you have to do it manually | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Datz: that's what I have | 22:34 |
| soreau | gbear14275: cat /var/log/syslog && dmesg | 22:35 |
| Datz | ActionParsnip: great thanks. (says it is outdated so I was wondering) | 22:35 |
| maco | induz: it tells it the filesystem type. iso9660 is what cds are. it shouldnt be necessary to include that bit, but it also won't hurt anything | 22:35 |
| maco | soreau: the Hundred Papercuts project is a project to fix small usability things that make using Ubuntu just a little less pleasant | 22:36 |
| soreau | maco: Ah ok | 22:36 |
| maco | Nisstyre: well what im talking about writing a patch for is to have "right click -> Use as CD" in Nautilus and Dolphin | 22:36 |
| maco | Nisstyre: only for .iso files | 22:36 |
| Nisstyre | maco, that might be ok | 22:36 |
| maco | it shouldnt be *too* hard | 22:36 |
| Nisstyre | what about .img files? | 22:36 |
| maco | harder to be sure of what's inside... so id start with just iso | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Datz: the clamav ppa gets updated more regularly than the ubuntu ones | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Nisstyre: acetoneiso can mount img | 22:37 |
| maco | Datz: the ppa is where Scott puts super-new releases of ClamAV to be tested before they move into ubuntu a few days (or a week-ish?) later | 22:38 |
| gbear14275 | soreau, wow... um, its been printing to screen for 2 min now | 22:38 |
| induz | maco, i used sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/your.iso /mnt but its just giving me details about commands | 22:38 |
| maco | induz: did you change /path/to/your.iso to actually be the path to your iso? | 22:38 |
| Nisstyre | induz, make sure you use the actual full path to where the iso file is | 22:38 |
| induz | my iso file is on /home/user/Desktop/file.iso | 22:38 |
| induz | i did this;sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/myName/Desktop /mnt | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | induz: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /home/user/Desktop/file.iso /media/iso | 22:39 |
| maco | induz: Desktop is the folder. you need the actual iso | 22:40 |
| computer_ | hows everyone doing | 22:40 |
| gbear14275 | soreau, I'm seeing lots of ieee80211 messages | 22:41 |
| * ActionParsnip likes a /media/iso mount point :) | 22:41 | |
| maco | ActionParsnip: i tend to just mount right on /media/cdrom -- it makes media players happy | 22:41 |
| Nisstyre | yeah, putting CDs under /mnt makes no sense | 22:41 |
| Nisstyre | I use /mnt for network stuff | 22:41 |
| maco | ActionParsnip: but i think that mountpoint only exists by default if you do have a physical one, so... figured i wouldnt assume it was there | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | maco: tru, although most can play ISOs as-is | 22:42 |
| maco | ActionParsnip: O_o | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | maco: vlc can | 22:42 |
| maco | vlc isnt most! | 22:42 |
| soreau | gbear14275: I'm not sure about your chipset but you might try googling. You're probably not the only one with this problem | 22:42 |
| Nisstyre | ActionParsnip, what about mplayer? | 22:42 |
| maco | it's one thing! | 22:42 |
| Nisstyre | I assume it can if vlc can | 22:42 |
| Starlight | Good night folks.. | 22:42 |

| SUFLEX | FireFox Speed dial plugin does not save tab-bookmarks. after Firefox reset all the SD bookmarks dissapear. | 22:43 |
| gbear14275 | soreau, it would be alot easier too if the broken laptop had an alternative to just wireless card | 22:43 |
| SUFLEX | and default session manager does not work correctly | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Nisstyre: most likely, mplayer is the daddy :) | 22:44 |
| gbear14275 | thats it... I'm going to best buy to get a wireless card | 22:44 |

| mickster04 | induz: yeah open office can open them | 23:01 |
| mickster04 | induz: and tell him not to | 23:01 |
| induz | when i open them on OO, they all get messed up | 23:01 |
| computer_ | is it command line.. ? clamav | 23:01 |
| mneptok | induz: tell your professor to either use Free formats, or buy you a license for the software you need. | 23:01 |
| mickster04 | induz: well tell him he should be using just .doc | 23:01 |
| soreau | computer_: yes | 23:01 |
| Kyle__ | computer_: It's not installed by default, you'll have to apt-get it. | 23:01 |
| induz | whole of school uses that MS office he says | 23:01 |
| mickster04 | induz: yeah he can save in .doc | 23:02 |
| computer_ | Kyle__ so im suppose to figure out how to use a commnand line virus scanner now ? :S :P | 23:02 |
| Kyle__ | induz: Sorry. I know how it is. Same at my uni. | 23:02 |
| induz | i have to go the library to get those files done | 23:02 |
| jrib | induz: try google docs maybe? | 23:02 |
| soreau | computer_: Its easy. Just apt-get install clamav && clamav --help | 23:02 |
| Kyle__ | computer_: It's really damn easy though, once you read the man page. If you want a gui, check out avg's site for their free linux one. | 23:02 |
| computer_ | Kyle__: Ahh opkay | 23:02 |
| induz | he saves on .doc and sends me, when i work on them on OO and send them to him all bullets get messed up | 23:02 |
| induz | or fdfew words get chopped off | 23:03 |
| jrib | induz: though you should speak to your professor about it. Maybe he can export as pdf? He might not know that he can actually do that | 23:03 |
| computer_ | soreau, yes thank you I will do that | 23:03 |
| mickster04 | induz: no they don't not in the latest ooo | 23:03 |

| mickster04 | induz: also OOo can read .docx anyway | 23:03 |
| soreau | computer_: see also http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/support/faq/ | 23:03 |
| mneptok | induz: a massive percentage of word processing docs can be saved as RTF with no ill effect on formatting, style, or features | 23:03 |
| Kyle__ | induz: You may be saving it to a different version of word's format than he's using, and that could confuse the _hell_ out of word sometimes. | 23:03 |
| mickster04 | lunch bbiab | 23:03 |
| induz | I save on .doc on OO but when i open the same doc file on MS word in school, the starting letters get chopped off caz of bullet effect on them | 23:05 |

| induz | doc version for 2003 | 23:06 |
| Biszkopcik | okey | 23:06 |

| coffeerage | Hi, I had the OTRS ticket tracking system installed to try it out. I decided I didn't like it and wanted to go back to Request Tracker. I installed it, but I cannot get the Apache2 server to start. It is telling me "invalid user: otrs" and I cannot find the configuration where it is still trying to use OTRS settings. I've tried removing & reinstalling the apache2 packages | 23:13 |
| Dj-Toast | Kyle_ : i searched for creating raid with UUID but I couldnt find anything. Do you think doing mdadm --create..... /dev/UUIDs would work? | 23:13 |
