| uRock_ | Aikar, for which release? | 00:05 |
| Aikar | 10.10 | 00:05 |
| elijah1 | Is there a way I can load a custom xorg.conf file by clicking an icon on the desktop? | 00:05 |
| uRock_ | 10.10 and 10.04 had one like two weeks ago | 00:05 |
| Dewey24 | angell: did the installation finish? you should try powering down the machine and booting the new installed | 00:05 |
| Aikar | i cant use flash anymore... firefox and chrome playing videos will randomly freeze my entire system forcing me to hard power off. i never had this issue before this week. ive tried like 3 diff versions of flash, even the 10.3 native 64bit one | 00:05 |
| Ziber | lvcreate is telling me that my volume groups arent found... I thought I could just make a name for them? | 00:05 |
| mickster04 | elijah1: not really :p | 00:05 |
| uRock_ | hi Gnea | 00:06 |
| angell | Dewey24: No the machine didn't finish installing, infact it froze with that error not being able to unmount the cdrom....... | 00:06 |
| Aikar | any idea of a log file this would likely log to? ive searched and cant find any messages as to what caused the complete system freeze | 00:06 |
| elijah1 | mickster04: Is there way to load a xorg.conf file? | 00:06 |
| JunglPerv | So I know this isn't really an Ubuntu support questionn but my problem seems to be affecting more than one MSN client. So far I've tried aMSN and Emesene I have had intermitten results with being able to connect with both of them saying that I am logged in at another location. Has anyone else had this problem? | 00:07 |
| Dewey24 | angell: have you checked your media(CD)? | 00:07 |
| Logan_WP | JunglPerv: If you know that it isn't a Ubuntu support question, then why are you asking it in this channel? | 00:07 |
| uRock_ | JunglPerv, no | 00:07 |
| angell | Dewey24: It is being installed via Unetbootin with the iso on the flash drive, and yes I did the checking and it passed. | 00:08 |
| Ziber | !lvcreate | 00:08 |
| Ziber | how can I create a volume group with lvcreate? | 00:08 |
| JunglPerv | Logan_WP: because its is obviously not client support | 00:08 |
| uRock_ | JunglPerv, seek help through MS | 00:09 |
| JunglPerv | uRock: why would Microsoft help me with non MS products? | 00:09 |
| uRock_ | because your account obviously has issues | 00:10 |
| JunglPerv | hrm | 00:10 |
| uRock_ | whenever I log in with one client, the other client gets disconnected | 00:10 |
| elijah1 | JunglPerv: Maybe try #microsoft | 00:10 |
| elijah1 | JunglPerv: or #windows | 00:10 |

| puff | How do I find more info about what's going wrong? | 00:11 |
| Dewey24 | angell: maybe the "use entire cd" workaround will do it | 00:11 |
| uRock_ | puff, have you install restricted extras? | 00:12 |
| angell | Dewey24: Where is that option? Is it suppose to be anywhere around the options when you boot into it through unetbootin or.... | 00:13 |

| freesoft | hi | 00:14 |
| fridabandita | iam windows user, but am trying to change over my system to linux. i have a peer to peer windows system at home, and the office (workgroup, not domain) i want to get my laptop to run ubuntu, and be able to log onto my workgroup at home or the office. i have looked at various forums, but they go into a great deal of detail, lost to me. i am a computer user, not a computer guru, so keep it | 00:15 |
| fridabandita | simple | 00:15 |
| angell | Dewey24: It doesn't give me that option, it only shows the usb flash drive when I go from the beginning of the partitioning. | 00:15 |
| angell | Dewey24: The only time I see the hard drive it self is when I go to try and manually partition the drive itself. | 00:15 |

| puff | fridabandita: I think you will need to explain in more detail what you mean by "a peer to peer iwndows system" and "workgroup, not domain." | 00:16 |
| puff | fridabandita: I don't know windows, but either this is a windows-specific technology, in which case you're stuck with windows, or it's a more general technology (for example a vpn), in which case you may be able to do what you want. | 00:17 |
| puff | uRock: Yes, ubuntu-restricted-extras is installe.d | 00:18 |
| fridabandita | puff: in a MS windows based system with a server, the usual network configurnation is a domwin where the server controls security. in a peer to peer system, security is taken on by each individual computer, there is no hierarchy. that is a workgroup. | 00:18 |
| tomftw | hi guys, i'm installing ubuntu netbook 10.10 with wubi and it's getting stuck at "creating the virtual disks" | 00:20 |

| Elssha | i was curious if it was possible to set up a timer that would take Ubuntu out of suspend mode at a certain time | 00:24 |
| mead | not a clue if the nic supports PXE, I would say probably not. since this is a first generation centrino laptop sold by sony | 00:24 |

| wolfric | is there anywhere i can read further on ubuntu cloud? there doesn't seem to be that much documentation on how it all works when it's up and running. It seems to give a general idea about having a controller and nodes and loading images and a very nice install guide to get you there but it doesn't give that great a few of what the admin page is like or whta you can do or how it all works together | 00:26 |
| wolfric | i'm going currently but the community page | 00:27 |
| Elssha | anyone know if a time like i mentioned is even possible? | 00:27 |

| ubottu | wolfric: The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), powered by Eucalyptus, is highly configurable and customizable to a variety of environments. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC | 00:27 |
| LjL | Elssha: it might be possible since 1) the BIOS can usually wake up the computer at a given time, 2) there are a couple of tools in Ubuntu that can set the BIOS up like that, at least certain BIOSes | 00:27 |
| Corsarius | wow | 00:27 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:28 |
| LjL | Elssha: it's probably not trivial though. another possibility i guess would be using another computer to wake it up from LAN | 00:28 |
| Elssha | it's not set up to anything though | 00:28 |
| Elssha | it's a laptop on wireless int | 00:28 |

When it reboots, I see the GRUB loader but if I select Ubuntu it just goes to a blank screen and never loads. I CAN boot into Windows from the grub boot loader. Any ideas? Boot sector issue? | 00:29 |
| Corsarius | yes, this Ubuntu Enterrise Cloud seems cool | 00:29 |
| Elssha | so was hoping to set it so that it'd wake up ~5am so that by 7 they'd be charged (more or less) | 00:30 |

| * mead notes that he can move to Poland if the apple fan boys get out of control | 00:31 | |
| Elssha | and they tax electronic purchases (like, from ebay) | 00:32 |
| DocOC | jason_ostrowski, boot to the install cd and use it as a live cd, then see if you have any linux partitions you can mount. | 00:32 |
| Elssha | yeah mead, there's like no apple stuff here (you *can* get it, but you are left with no accesories and no backup) | 00:32 |
| * Elssha personally dislikes apple | 00:33 | |
| Elssha | a lot | 00:33 |
| Jason_Ostrowski | Using gparted? | 00:33 |
| Corsarius | DocOC: it's doable, Jason you must try it | 00:33 |

| DocOC | kgbwolf, if it is working correctly, yes | 00:52 |
| Datz | DocOC: yes, but is the update a average of activity from second to second, or a snapshot | 00:52 |
| foivos_ | psusi, ok...I have Ububtu...and the question is....Google Earth? | 00:52 |
| DocOC | apt-cache search google|grep earth | 00:52 |
| foivos_ | I copy paste that into Terminal? | 00:53 |

| Elssha | i think i got it, just not sure how the date is coded | 00:55 |
| DocOC | foivos_, yes, so it looks like you can get google | 00:55 |
| DocOC | earth | 00:55 |
| foivos_ | I am glad | 00:56 |
| DocOC | you just need to use that package to build the package, then install it. | 00:56 |
| DocOC | I'm curious, going to try it myself :) | 00:56 |
| Elssha | it looks like they want me to run it in terminal | 00:56 |
| Elssha | i just need to figure out what the format for the date is -_-; | 00:57 |
| foivos_ | Doc, so what do I do...I type "use package google earth"? | 00:57 |
| DocOC | elssha, probably has a man page which will tell you how to format it. | 00:57 |
| EricInBNE | is there a bash-completion package for git in ubuntu? | 00:57 |
| simbol | hello | 00:57 |
| foivos_ | "package google earth, if you please" ? | 00:57 |
| wwmwwm | hello | 00:58 |
| DocOC | foivos_, aptitude install googleearth-package | 00:58 |
| Logan_WP | !sq | simbol | 00:58 |
| Logan_WP | oops | 00:58 |
| DocOC | then do man make-googleearth-package | 00:58 |
| DocOC | which I am doing right now :) | 00:58 |
| sonic | hi | 00:59 |

| DocOC | aha, looks like you will need to download the googleearth linux installer from google, then that package will build a .deb that you can use dpkg to install it. | 00:59 |
| Elssha | found it | 00:59 |
| DocOC | oh, wait, it will download it for you. Nice | 01:00 |

| sheenz | xangue I was running windows xp before on that computer | 01:09 |
| edwardteach | sheenz, xangua asked you if your video drivers are installed on ubuntu? | 01:09 |

| beata|lemur | Oh not a big problem. Just that nouveau isn't stable yet (hard locks my video card) and the proprietary drivers don't get along with the framebuffer. | 01:10 |
| asarch | How do you remove the 'n character left to the "Name" field? http://imgur.com/PXCEq | 01:10 |

| asarch | I don't even know how it get there | 01:13 |
| mickster04 | asarch: no i know what an n character is, what is the program? | 01:13 |
| BiPolah | When running rdesktop from the command line, is there any way to expand the window size? | 01:14 |
| asarch | If I press that char the sorting get reverses (and it changes from 'n to ,n) | 01:14 |

| mickster04 | asarch: and they don't have a help foirum or something? that probably isn't an ubuntu thing? | 01:15 |
| asarch | Well, #mc is a dead channel actually | 01:15 |
| mickster04 | asarch: not an ubuntu problem | 01:15 |
| asarch | Does your mc have the same char? | 01:15 |
| mickster04 | asarch: why not just nautilus? | 01:15 |
| mickster04 | asarch: i don't use m\c | 01:16 |
| sonic | wait a minute why do we got to talk about tech stuff | 01:16 |
| mickster04 | sonic this is a help channel thats why | 01:16 |
| rww | sonic: because this is an Ubuntu support channel. If you want to be offtopic, go to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 01:16 |

| ProfessorBacon | enterprise support | 01:19 |
| syn-ack | mead, Canonical is good like that | 01:19 |
| mead | how much is it? | 01:19 |
| syn-ack | Teddy__, it allows one to install the system without creating any user accounts | 01:19 |
| mickster04 | !details | sheenz | 01:19 |
| ubottu | sheenz: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 01:19 |
| mickster04 | also !ask | 01:19 |
| sacarlson | mead: I'm for sale but expensive | 01:20 |
| syn-ack | Teddy__, also, it installs a first-run script so the end user can create one when it's first booted. | 01:20 |
| Teddy__ | syn-ack: great thank you :) | 01:20 |
| syn-ack | Teddy__, as well as other stuff and you're welcome. | 01:20 |
| Teddy__ | so I'm totally safe to remove it as I've already created users in my preseed | 01:20 |
| Teddy__ | :) | 01:20 |
| mead | no how much is support from Canonical? | 01:20 |
| syn-ack | mead, you'd have to call them and find out. That's out of the scope of this channel. | 01:20 |
| Teddy__ | mead: pretty affordable iirc | 01:21 |
| xangua | mead: canonical.com you can see there | 01:21 |
| Teddy__ | anyway, later guys :0 | 01:21 |

| sacarlson | s5fs: I guess when you format like with ext3 or ext4 or other it will check and put bad blocks off of the fat table, but if it's failing I'm not sure I would trust it, maybe partition around the bad blocks? | 01:29 |

| CoNFuS3D | usermod: group 'pulse-rt' does not exist | 01:44 |
| Logan_WP | !needhelp | daniel__ | 01:45 |
| ubottu | daniel__: 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 | 01:45 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, (that's not the same error) just add that group | 01:45 |
| daniel__ | i can not get turbotax to install | 01:45 |
| edbian | daniel__, in wine? | 01:45 |
| daniel__ | it will not even read | 01:45 |
| edbian | daniel__, Are you using wine? You cannot install windows software in linux | 01:45 |
| ghost__ | When i logoff there this program not working and its unknown is there any way i can force it to logoff or shutdown with out knowing? | 01:45 |
| syn-ack | daniel that's because linux != linux | 01:46 |
| daniel__ | i am using wine but | 01:46 |
| edwardteach | sheenz, you should also ask your main question again as there are more experienced people here now ! | 01:46 |
| edbian | syn-ack, what? | 01:46 |
| CoNFuS3D | oh it worked! | 01:46 |
| CoNFuS3D | thanks :) | 01:46 |
| edbian | my ears are burning | 01:46 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, no problem | 01:46 |
| syn-ack | hahaha | 01:46 |
| ghost__ | a program is still running but i want shut down anyway | 01:46 |
| syn-ack | I see what I did, thanks for the catch, edbian | 01:46 |
| daniel__ | i can not get the the cdrom to load | 01:47 |
| edbian | ghost__, sudo shutdown -h now (and it will shutdown) | 01:47 |
| edbian | syn-ack, :) | 01:47 |
| ghost__ | <edbian> what about logoff? | 01:47 |
| edbian | daniel__, If you're using wine you should ask in #winehq | 01:47 |
| sheenz | Radeon 9600 pro | 01:47 |
| DocOC | syn-ack, I thank what you meant is Gnu's Not Unix | 01:47 |
| edbian | ghost__, what program is it? (list them all with ps -e) | 01:47 |
| syn-ack | DocOS Nah, I'm pretty sure I meant Windows is not Linux | 01:47 |
| sheenz | :edwardteach Radeon 9600 pro | 01:47 |
| ghost__ | edbian it doesn't say its just say unknown | 01:47 |
| edbian | ghost__, use ps -e to list them all. use top to get a better idea. use gnome-system-monitor to get a graphical better idea | 01:48 |
| edbian | ghost__, once you can get the process name that's stuck you can get the pid and run 'kill <pid>' which can end the process for you | 01:49 |
| ghost__ | roger | 01:49 |
| ghost__ | thanks | 01:49 |
| ghost__ | i'm going try | 01:49 |
| edbian | ghost__, for for it :) | 01:49 |

| CoNFuS3D | ok, so, I have done all that, when it comes to the last command, it tells me that no such process exists, then it says that the daemon failed to start... | 01:59 |
| JerrysKid | My minimize bar and top menu bar is completely gone. How do I get them to reappear. Every window is missing the minimize, maximize, and close button. | 01:59 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, link me the article again | 02:00 |
| CoNFuS3D | http://rightfootin.blogspot.com/2009/05/fixing-pulseaudio-stutters-pauses.html | 02:00 |
| edbian | JerrysKid, do you have a terminal? | 02:00 |
| JerrysKid | Yes | 02:00 |
| JerrysKid | I do | 02:00 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, sudo apt-get install pulesaudio then do the last command | 02:00 |
| sheenz | by the way will it make a different installing ubuntu netbook on a Laptop? can be the cause of my issue | 02:00 |
| edbian | JerrysKid, metacity --replace& (i'm guessing) | 02:00 |
| CoNFuS3D | "pulseaudio is already the newest version" | 02:01 |
| JerrysKid | edbian, Thanks! | 02:01 |
| edbian | sheenz, that shouldn't matter | 02:01 |
| silverlightning | hi | 02:01 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, what's the error | 02:01 |
| jonathan | JerrysKid, were you trying to do compiz fusion? | 02:01 |
| edbian | JerrysKid, no problem | 02:01 |
| silverlightning | I reinstalled ubuntu all over | 02:01 |

| AegisX | Hi guys; I'm looking to use a separate drive as my home folder. Is there anyway to point the home folder subfolders to counterparts on the separate drive? | 02:01 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, can you just sudo service pulseaudio start ? | 02:02 |
| JerrysKid | jonathan, I am already running a sweetly setup compiz setup with no problem. The window manager bar was gone. The command edbian just gave me worked. Thanks guys | 02:02 |
| sheenz | ok new problem the disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present | 02:02 |
| jrib | AegisX: sure, use a symbolic link | 02:02 |
| AegisX | jrib: Ah; and then delete the folders in the home drive? | 02:02 |
| JerrysKid | jonathan, Wait. | 02:02 |
| JerrysKid | Compiz stopped working | 02:02 |
| CoNFuS3D | * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions | 02:02 |
| JerrysKid | Zomg | 02:02 |
| jrib | AegisX: yes | 02:02 |
| edbian | JerrysKid, yeah but compiz is not running. Do this: compiz --replace& to get compiz back | 02:02 |
| jonathan | you switched wm | 02:02 |
| jrib | AegisX: well I guess you would have to delete first :P | 02:02 |
| edbian | JerrysKid, no worries :) | 02:03 |
| AegisX | jrib: Thanks, that's a pretty functional way of doing it haha. | 02:03 |
| DocOC | jrib, not sure that's what he wants. He probably wants to cp -Rp /home to the new drive, then change the fstab to reflect that filesystem as /home | 02:03 |
| JerrysKid | Thanks | 02:03 |
| AegisX | jrib: So I guess the command would be "ln -s <blah>" right? | 02:03 |
| sheenz | seems like bios :) | 02:03 |
| rany27 | I keep seeing firefox-bin when running ''top'' even though I shut down firefox. | 02:03 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, just do pulseaudio in the term | 02:03 |
| jonathan | JerrysKid, let me know if you have the no window boarder problem again | 02:03 |
| edbian | rany27, kill it dog. It's a run-away process | 02:03 |
| CoNFuS3D | what do you mean? | 02:03 |
| jonathan | make sure you have window decorations checked | 02:03 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, pulseaudio the command. in a terminal | 02:04 |
| AegisX | Doc0C: That sounds interesting; could you explain further? | 02:04 |
| jrib | AegisX: do you just want to move your current home to a new partition? When I read your question, I thought you knew how to do that but now wanted to have a couple of directories under your HOME still point to the original drive. Can you explain what you want to do? | 02:04 |
| CoNFuS3D | E: module.c: Failed to open module "module-hal-detect": file not found | 02:04 |
| CoNFuS3D | E: main.c: Module load failed. | 02:04 |
| CoNFuS3D | E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon. | 02:04 |
| rany27 | edbian: What do you mean by run-away process? | 02:04 |
| AegisX | jrib: Basically what I want to do is to have a documents and music folder on a separate hard drive that is also accessible by my Windows partition. | 02:04 |
| edbian | rany27, It's running but you told it to quit (by closing firefox gui) just kill it | 02:05 |
| AegisX | jrib: That partition is NTFS | 02:05 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, sudo apt-get install module-hal-detect | 02:05 |
| jrib | AegisX: then just do it with symlinks | 02:05 |
| DocOC | jrib, my mistake, sounds more like he wants what you said. | 02:05 |
| boota2 | AegisX: what's the problem? | 02:05 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, I'm guessing now btw | 02:05 |
| edwardteach | sheenz, what was it you downloaded ? when you booted into it.. | 02:05 |
| CoNFuS3D | unable to locate :( | 02:05 |
| AegisX | boota2: I think jrib just answered my question hehe. Thanks, anyway. | 02:05 |
| AegisX | jrib: Thanks again, jrib | 02:05 |
| jrib | AegisX: the syntax is: ln -s TARGET NAME | 02:06 |
| edbian | CoNFuS3D, I'm at a loss bud :( | 02:06 |
| rany27 | edbian: So do I have to ''kill'' it manualy everytime I shut firefox down? | 02:06 |
| sheenz | usb | 02:06 |
| CoNFuS3D | dang :( | 02:06 |
| CoNFuS3D | thanks anyways :) | 02:06 |
| jrib | DocOC: no problem, I wasn't too sure either | 02:06 |
| AegisX | jrib: Roger; thanks | 02:06 |
| sheenz | it did work few times but after this third or forth reboot its stuck | 02:06 |
| silverlightning | hi | 02:06 |
| edbian | rany27, no, typically when you kill firefox it should die. For some reason this time it didn't. | 02:06 |
| edbian | rany27, It's a fluke | 02:06 |
| DocOC | jrib, lol, I love to help people, but this channel moves so fast, it's sometimes hard to get the answer out before the question is 100 lines back up my scroll-buffer | 02:07 |
| sheenz | is there any command ? | 02:07 |
| daniel__ | why would upgrading have an effect on my cdrom | 02:07 |
| rany27 | edbian: I also have this with rythmbox lately. Are you sure it is a fluke? Can't it be something more serious? | 02:08 |
| jrib | DocOC: rare for me not to /lastlog any question that isn't answered with a factoid | 02:08 |
| JerrysKid | What can I type in terminal to tell me how much physical ram i have installed? | 02:08 |
| elhadi39 | saluttttttttt a toussssss | 02:08 |
| jrib | JerrysKid: free -m | 02:08 |
| elhadi39 | hi | 02:09 |
| edbian | rany27, It's just general bugs in the software. I can't say what exactly is causing it. If you can re-create the problem easily then you should make a bug report. | 02:09 |
| edbian | JerrysKid, free -m | 02:09 |
| rany27 | edbian: Thank you very much. | 02:10 |
| edbian | rany27, no prob | 02:10 |
| edbian | DocOC, it just takes practice | 02:10 |
| edwardteach | sheenz, did it work when you tried it from the usb ? | 02:10 |
| JeffCBR | Is there an irc.ubuntu.com? | 02:11 |
| silverlightning | do you know if easy iso works with ubuntu? | 02:11 |
| sheenz | it was working but after reboot it not any more | 02:11 |
| edwardteach | sheenz, run off the usb ! | 02:11 |
| sheenz | from bios? | 02:11 |
| edwardteach | sheenz, as a live disk? | 02:11 |
| sheenz | or there is a way | 02:11 |
| AegisX | One more question, actually; when I create the soft link, how do I change the permissions? I require root to do so, but have no idea how to access root from the file manager window... | 02:12 |
| jrib | JeffCBR: irc.ubuntu.com just points to freenode | 02:12 |
| sheenz | you mean from windows | 02:12 |
| JerrysKid | My system is bogged down hard. Can someone take a look at my top on pastebin? http://pastebin.com/GgtqycDY | 02:12 |

| edwardteach | sheenz, have you used wubi? | 02:12 |
| edbian | AegisX, you can open a nautilus window as root using gksudo nautilus . (but don't do it unless you have to). To change the file cli use sudo chmod XYZ filename. | 02:13 |
| sheenz | wubi?? not familiar | 02:13 |
| AegisX | edbian: Thanks for that, I'll give it a shot | 02:13 |
| edbian | AegisX, no problem | 02:13 |

| silverlightning | how do you make a partition in ubuntu, for a dual install | 02:14 |
| silverlightning | ? | 02:14 |
| sheenz | ok | 02:14 |
| soreau | silverlightning: gparted | 02:14 |
| sheenz | seems like something is happening | 02:14 |
| sheenz | from bios I changed to boot from usb | 02:14 |
| Datz | JerrysKid: ungrade your hardware, or don't run as much stuff. :P | 02:14 |
| sheenz | am on a welcome screen | 02:15 |
| edwardteach | sheenz, ok | 02:15 |
| sheenz | and I can see power off button sound and wireless of top right hand | 02:15 |
| edwardteach | sheenz, so it boots ok from usb.. just not from your installed partition? | 02:17 |
| AegisX | Hmmm... another question, and this time around chmod haha. How do I change the folder permissions to allow my user to read and write? Thanks in advance. | 02:18 |
| jrib | !permissions > AegisX | 02:18 |
| ubottu | AegisX, please see my private message | 02:18 |
| silverlightning | soreau, gparted works for bootable cd or as an application? | 02:18 |
| jonathan | chmod +rw | 02:18 |
| jonathan | and then the filename | 02:19 |
| AegisX | jrib Thanks :) | 02:19 |
| silverlightning | as bootable * | 02:19 |
| AegisX | jonathon: Thanks :) | 02:19 |
| soreau | silverlightning: Both, but you should not modify the partition you're running so it's best to use a live cd | 02:19 |
| silverlightning | I see | 02:19 |
| silverlightning | I have truble burning iso images | 02:19 |
| edbian | AegisX, chmod 777 /path/to/folder is one way chown userName /path/to/folder is another | 02:19 |
| pyroscope | silverlightning: if you can boot from usb, use that | 02:20 |
| silverlightning | hmm | 02:20 |
| AegisX | edbian: Ah, thank you! | 02:20 |
| edbian | AegisX, did it work? | 02:20 |
| soreau | silverlightning: You can even install ubuntu to a usb stick | 02:20 |
| silverlightning | pyroscope, does the usb memory flash have to be empty? | 02:20 |
| AegisX | Oh... no it didn't, edbian | 02:20 |
| silverlightning | does ubuntu resist burning iso? | 02:21 |
| AegisX | Hmmm, ever since I set the drive to mount on boot, it doesn't seem to let me write to it | 02:21 |
| oneliner | hack idea; would it be possible to install ubuntu on a sim card running as a mass storage unit from a phone? | 02:21 |
| edbian | AegisX, what is the output of ls -l /path/to/folder/ ? | 02:21 |
| pyroscope | silverlightning: don't think so, see http://partedmagic.com/doku.php | 02:21 |
| JeffCBR | Anyone installed ubuntu on an iPhone? | 02:22 |

| Aikar | I really need advice :( Flash is causing my entire system to freeze forcing a hard power off to restart. ive tried like 4 diff versions of flash, 10.3 10.2, from ppa, from manual, FlashAid etc. all cause random complete freeze or spontaneus reboot | 02:28 |
| Aikar | no logs are reported to /var/log folder, checked every log file right before the boot and no messages | 02:28 |
| silverlightning | Tuffpoo, it often helps with a few attempts, | 02:28 |
| TuffPoo | it says getpwid_r (): failed due to unknown user id | 02:28 |
| TuffPoo | okay | 02:28 |
| silverlightning | tuffpoo, did you check the CD for errors? | 02:28 |
| silverlightning | weird | 02:29 |
| silverlightning | I never had that happen | 02:29 |

| silverlightning | you could try booting, and choosing boot from cd manually, your computer might allow booting for cd if it resists | 02:32 |
| annmaria | I like Unix for the Impatient | 02:33 |

| annmaria | and the Ubuntu forums are a godsend | 02:33 |
| silverlightning | what would be an alternative to ubuntu, no-debian distribution ? | 02:34 |
| TuffPoo | silverlightning: im on a fedora pc right now heh | 02:34 |
| drc | silverlightning: Slackware | 02:34 |
| silverlightning | is there a fedora distribution that is fairly idiot proof like ubuntu? | 02:35 |

| Stew_822 | Hello :), I just installed Xfce (from the software center) and don't know how to run it :D. I tried logging out but yeah, it wont let me :(. I have ubuntu 10.10 and when it starts it now says xubuntu, which I'm assuming is good :D. Anyway, when I try to log out I get an error message. If anyone thinks they can help, that would be appreciated :) | 02:41 |
| vegeta | i want tojoin | 02:41 |
| michael138 | srry for stpid questions but iam a first time ubuntu user and ive only have had it for 5 days | 02:41 |
| vegeta | i want to join ops | 02:41 |
| edbian | michael138, now worries, what are the questions? | 02:41 |
| elky | michael138, the only stupid question is the one not asked. | 02:41 |
| silverlightning | stew_822, it should just log out as usual? | 02:41 |
| drc | michael138: this IS the place to ask questions | 02:41 |
| adub | how do i disable keyring itits annoying | 02:42 |
| silverlightning | stew_882, but sometimes there are a few hick ups right after a new installation | 02:42 |
| elky | michael138, Oh, and asking to ask questions is redundant, so just out with it ;) | 02:42 |
| michael138 | well the dvd player in my computer is not picking up my dvds any more i cant fig how to fix it | 02:42 |
| Stew_822 | silverlightning: I know but I've never logged out before. I don't even know if I've ever logged in. Anyway, it says Failed to receive a reply from the session manager -- The name org.xfce.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files"ays " | 02:42 |
| michael138 | ok i do that and never get ans | 02:43 |
| Stew_822 | silverlightning: Without the spelling mistakes :D | 02:43 |
| elky | michael138, was it reading dvds before? | 02:43 |
| silverlightning | stew_882, unless you have very low RAM, there isn't much to gain in the xfce | 02:43 |
| michael138 | yea when i had windows | 02:43 |
| elky | michael138, and never since you installed ubuntu? | 02:43 |
| timewriter | hi | 02:43 |
| michael138 | yep | 02:43 |
| Stew_822 | silverlightning: It isn't any faster? | 02:43 |
| edwardteach | moes, check the trouble shooting section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB#Troubleshooting may help! | 02:43 |

| silverlightning | stew_882, if you managed to boot in or shift to xfce, and you could access applications or anything, you were logged on, but it really isn't that bad if the session wasn't stored | 02:46 |

| Stew_822 | silverlightning: I think I'm still using Gnome, though :P. Is Xfce any faster? | 02:47 |
| Jordan_U | KXTwo: So that rm does not try to interpret the '-' as being the beginning of an option/flag. | 02:47 |
| KXTwo | wgwinn, Is there a way to do it with \ "" or * | 02:47 |
| sheenz | ok all installed on my harddrive and we back to square 1 | 02:48 |
| rww | someone has homework | 02:48 |
| silverlightning | stew_882, I found xcfe to be a bit more unstable than standard Ubuntu. Toolbars kept disappearing, sometimes the whole xfce function | 02:48 |
| erebel551 | lo | 02:48 |
| researcher1 | request to help with this http://imagebin.org/138525 | 02:48 |

| michael138 | so just go ahead and re boot and check | 02:49 |
| CoNFuS3D | hi, me again, would another sound card fix the problems I am having with pulseaudio? | 02:49 |
| KXTwo | Jordan_U, is there a way to do it with \ "" or * or is that the only way | 02:49 |
| Jordan_U | erebel551: chm2pdf | 02:49 |
| CoNFuS3D | or would it likely just cause the same problems? | 02:49 |
| sheenz | Icons are covered up on the top of screen and on the left hand side | 02:49 |
| silverlightning | stew_822, on limited computer perhaps, but on standard equipment I hardly noticed any difference | 02:49 |
| Stew_822 | silverlightning: Ok then thanks. I'll just leave it :P. Is KDE much slower than Gnome? | 02:49 |
| Jordan_U | KXTwo: Why do you ask? | 02:49 |
| erebel551 | Jordan_U: thanks | 02:49 |
| Dj-Toast | Hi, dont know if it interests anyone but found the answer to my raid issue I posted a while ago where rebooting would mess up the device detection. You simply had to recreate the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf using "mdadm --detail --scan > /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf" (WIHTOUT THE --VERBOSE option) this recreates the file without the configuration of static naming (EX: /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 ) | 02:49 |
| Jordan_U | erebel551: You're welcome. | 02:49 |
| timewriter | i have uploaded a image | 02:49 |
| Senjai | KXTwo, it's reccomended that you find a tutorial on understanding basic system architecture for linux. | 02:49 |
| timewriter | can i paste the link | 02:49 |
| Jordan_U | timewriter: Yes. | 02:50 |
| Stew_822 | J_C: Do you find it much faster? | 02:50 |
| Jordan_U | timewriter: If it's apropriate for a support channel like this that is... | 02:50 |
| KXTwo | Jordan_U, because im doing a case study on using those to deal with file names, most of the questions involved cat, but there is a question on removing this file | 02:50 |
| timewriter | http://img526.imageshack.us/f/screenshotxnr.png/ | 02:50 |
| timewriter | vote my desktop | 02:50 |
| Senjai | KXTwo the . can mean various things, in wgwinns example, it means use rm on the current dirctory /the folder. | 02:51 |
| Senjai | it can also stand for hidden directories | 02:51 |
| J_C | Stew_822: not faster but adequate and it doesn't hammer the processor as much as Gnome or KDE, depends on what you need it for, I guess | 02:51 |

| testa | ok. My problem is that I have installed a wireless card (a netgear card) that required drivers to install. I've installed the drivers for it, am able to view wireless networks, but cannot connect to one (as in when I try to connect, it maintains the status of "connecting" and never actually connects..) | 02:55 |
| mickster04 | SpeedrunnerG55: what has that got to do with ubuntu? | 02:55 |
| J_C | SpeedrunnerG55: have you googled "linux + mindstorm" or "ubuntu + mindstorm"? This is a help channel, but maybe nobody online right now uses mindstorm | 02:55 |

| Senjai | testa, I know 10.10 has some issues with it, some wireless drivers work better on 10.04 | 03:00 |
| Senjai | testa, perhaps you should downgrade? but consult more professional opinions first. | 03:00 |

| Senjai | ohsix, I misperceived his question, as I connected partway through his explination, I thought his difficulty was with understanding how the filesystem works on linux, e.g. directories are represented by / not \ | 03:02 |
| timewriter | im testing Squeeze in vmware | 03:03 |
| Senjai | ohsix, to which I answered first, then forwarded him to the site, but then I found i misinterpreted his question. | 03:03 |
| adub | how do i disable keyring???? | 03:03 |
| jonathan | adub, delete it | 03:03 |
| Datz | ha @ ohmy | 03:03 |
| Aikar | back to topic... flash is literally freezing my entire system. the alt+sysrq key combos dont even work. no ssh. ive tried multiple flash versions, latest nvidia driver | 03:03 |
| adub | i dont know the package name jonathan to apt-get remove | 03:03 |
| timewriter | do you believe what happened | 03:03 |
| timewriter | some guy asked me to install a antivirus on his system | 03:03 |
| jonathan | oh you want to remove the package from the OS? | 03:03 |
| jonathan | gnome-keyring | 03:03 |
| timewriter | then he came and started looking inside the case | 03:04 |
| adub | if removing it will get rid of the stupid annoying pop up | 03:04 |
| adub | then yeah i wont use the app | 03:04 |
| timewriter | when i asked him what is he looking for , he said : the antivirus | 03:04 |
| timewriter | :( | 03:04 |
| ohsix | Aikar: bad luck there, its either the driver or something hw related in your machine | 03:04 |
| jonathan | you'll have to enter your keycode everytime you connect to an encrypted wireless though | 03:04 |
| adub | jonathan so keyring prevents having to input the keycode everytime | 03:05 |
| adub | it just not have been saving it before then | 03:05 |
| Aikar | ohsix: i just ran a memtest, it all passed. it is new hardware, didnt happen on old box, should i do something after moving my hdd from 1 box to a new one to refresh for new hardware? | 03:05 |
| Datz | does unity work pretty decently in 10.10? | 03:05 |
| timewriter | hihi | 03:05 |
| testa | Would anybody know a way to change the ways I can connect to a wireless network? When I try to connect to my network (which I know has WPA/WPA2 Personal security on it) my computer assumes it's WPA/WPA2 Enterprise security... | 03:06 |
| timewriter | use a wireless cable | 03:06 |
| testa | a wireless cable? | 03:06 |
| J_C | Datz:I'm using it on an older Asus netbook... it's OK but it has some ways to go, sometimes it's irritating | 03:06 |
| jonathan | adub, keyring stores the password | 03:06 |
| th0r | testa: might try wicd in place of network-mangler | 03:06 |
| testa | okay. | 03:06 |
| Datz | J_C: ah I see. | 03:06 |
| adub | so when im booting up | 03:06 |
| adub | is it asking for my computer password | 03:07 |
| adub | or the wifi | 03:07 |
| adub | little confused | 03:07 |
| ohsix | Aikar: best you can probably do is find something other than flash that can make it freeze, could be the power supply or a lot of things unfortunately | 03:07 |
| Datz | J_C: I can install it and choose if I want it or gnome at boot, correct? | 03:07 |
| jonathan | if you're connecting to the wifi without gnome-keyring installed it'll want the network keycode | 03:07 |
| jonathan | gnome keyring just stores it for you | 03:07 |
| ohsix | testa: can you look at the beacons with wireshark? it says what security options are available | 03:07 |
| J_C | Datz: I'm not sure about that, I just installed it recently on the netbook. I haven't tried it on a standard laptop or desktop | 03:08 |
| testa | I'll try. | 03:08 |
| lolicloud | If I want to wipe my ubuntu partition to install something else all that I need to backup is the home folder or is there anything else I might miss? | 03:08 |
| Aikar | i think ima try putting hdd back in old system | 03:08 |
| timewriter | i wish a linux versions for world of warcraft | 03:08 |
| ohsix | testa: the beacons could be wrong, or it could have ent as an option when you're not expecting it, but you can tell networkmanager what authentication it actually uses if you edit the connection | 03:08 |
| silverlightning | hi again | 03:08 |
| timewriter | hi | 03:08 |
| J_C | Datz: it's ok for the netbook, but I'm not overly impressed, I'd avoid it on a regular box for awhile anyway | 03:08 |
| silverlightning | how bad is it to use a hacked windows 7? | 03:09 |
| kevdog | lolicloud: possible some things in /etc depending on what you have done | 03:09 |
| Datz | J_C: ah ok. I'd be testing it on my desktop.. well via an external drive | 03:09 |
| timewriter | very bad | 03:09 |
| timewriter | why would you use a hacked os ? | 03:09 |
| silverlightning | :') | 03:09 |
| testa | I'm not sure how to view the beacons in Wireshark | 03:09 |
| [thor] | adub: the keyring saves wifi passwords on it's giant security-guard style ring. when you access a wifi network, it remembers working passwords, and enters them automatically next time. | 03:09 |

| timewriter | mickster04, i tried , but its nut the same thing | 03:10 |
| Datz | J_C: will do :) | 03:10 |
| [thor] | adub: entering your password is letting the keyring know you are the real user. if you don't enter it, or if someone tries to log in as you, they will have to enter all the wifi passwords manually. | 03:10 |
| mickster04 | timewriter: I think you'll find that wow runs better in wine than it does in windows | 03:10 |

| silverlightning | ubutto, I am trying to dual install with Maverick | 03:11 |
| [thor] | adub: if you don't use wifi, you don't have anything to worry about by simply disabling it during startup ( Settings > Preferences > Startup Applications --> [ ] Secret Storage Service ) | 03:11 |
| silverlightning | ubottu | 03:12 |
| ohsix | testa: ah, it's a bit involved, but you should be able to get them when its not connected, just pick the interface, record a while; then look for "Beacon frames", they get decoded in the bottom pane | 03:12 |
| timewriter | lol you just become a godfather | 03:12 |

| kevdog | the /etc contains setting for various programs -- initialization files. If you haven't done a lot of customizing or installing, or manipulating daemons or listening servers, it probably doesn't apply to you | 03:12 |
| lolicloud | kevdog: Ok, thank you. | 03:13 |
| J_C | silverlightning: dual boot is pretty easy, but the best way to start is install windows first, the ubuntu/fedora./whatever. Grib will figure it out and install correctly | 03:13 |
| ohsix | testa: if not, you'd need to put the wifi in monitoring mode and thats kind of a pain in the butt, networkmanager does have a log that is verbose enough to tell you what it sees; wireshark would be for verifying it yourself | 03:13 |
| kevdog | ohsix: only a pain in the butt if you haven't set up a script to automate that | 03:14 |
| ohsix | doing it at all when it wont solve your problem directly, script or not; is a pain in the butt | 03:14 |

| reign2 | how can I stop ubuntu from shutting networking down on suspend? | 03:26 |
| ohsix | reign2: what would it be doing if it was on? | 03:27 |
| h00k | reign2: you don't, suspend doesn't keep the networks powered up. | 03:27 |
| ohsix | you can keep some devices on, but they wouldn't do anything, and i think they block suspend if you do | 03:28 |
| J_C | reign2: the point of suspend is to suspend all activity | 03:28 |
| reign2 | during a dist upgrade, I left the pc unattended only to come back and find the update failed because networking went down | 03:28 |
| ohsix | all but the ec & usb ;] | 03:28 |
| h00k | reign2: yes, that's what suspend does. | 03:28 |
| ohsix | reign2: so postpone suspend | 03:29 |
| h00k | reign2: you can adjust your power settings to prevent it from going into suspend | 03:29 |
| J_C | reign2: best to turn suspend off before updating | 03:29 |
| ohsix | or with the inhibit sleep panel applet | 03:29 |
| ecinx | after extracting there's a file called setup | 03:29 |
| ecinx | i do sudo ./setup and i get a message | 03:29 |
| ohsix | if you use upgrade-manager it does inhibit suspend, otherwise you're on your own | 03:29 |
| reign2 | isn't that sort of counter-intuitive for the updater to not send a dbus signal to keep the os from dropping into suspend? | 03:29 |

| reign2 | hmm, I was using update-manager though | 03:31 |
| J_C | reign2: for what it's worth, I've never done an update unless I'm plugged in | 03:31 |

| Nabilcon | Why does ubuntu live just detect 3.2gb RAM? I got 8gb on this computer so why does it not use all? Im just curious. | 03:36 |
| Darkenvy | Im a little new to setting up daemons. Is it easy to set up? | 03:37 |
| ohsix | Darkenvy: inotify-tools has a program that can run arbitrary stuff on file changes; but what you're asking to do is more intensive than you think | 03:37 |
| Jordan_U | Nabilcon: Are you using 32 bit or 64 bit Ubuntu? | 03:37 |
| ohsix | Nabilcon: (^ or livecd) | 03:37 |
| Darkenvy | Oh I forgot to mention I dont have a GUI on either machine. both are servers | 03:37 |
| ohsix | Darkenvy: you' can't arrange for both to access common storage? | 03:38 |
| Nabilcon | Jordan_U: My installed is 32 bit.. And it uses all 8gb.. But this Live cd only used 3.2 | 03:38 |
| Jordan_U | !pae | Nabilcon | 03:38 |
| ubottu | Nabilcon: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 03:38 |
| J_C | Datz: It appears to be a not very well executed Mac OSX, for what it's worth | 03:38 |
| Jordan_U | Nabilcon: The liveCD doesn't contain a PAE kernel. | 03:38 |
| J_C | OSX Desktop | 03:38 |
| Darkenvy | well they would be saved and changed so often beings that the files are playerdata for an online game | 03:38 |
| Nabilcon | Jordan_U: Oh ok.. So thats why my installed used all and not the live. Thanks.. I was just curious :) | 03:39 |
| Darkenvy | FTP didnt seem like a viable option for this. Ive had hardships with FTP not being very good at dedicated important things | 03:39 |
| Jordan_U | Nabilcon: You're welcome. | 03:39 |
| ohsix | Darkenvy: you can't store them in a database instead? | 03:39 |
| phrac | Darkenvy: I'm with ohsix on this, it sounds like a perfect match for a database | 03:40 |
| Darkenvy | I am interested in this database you speak of. How can I set one up? (Im an everyday linux user but no expert at scripting) | 03:40 |
| phrac | Darkenvy: check out mysql or postgresql | 03:41 |
| Senjai | Omg, if WINE allows me to run Adobe Dreamweave with no problems, I'm going to go crazy | 03:41 |
| ohsix | it's not hard to use ceph or something either, but it's not a great idea to share files for that sort of thing | 03:41 |
| J_C | Darkenvy: Have you looked at Unison? | 03:41 |
| Darkenvy | can you upload files to myswl or is this something that msut be mysql supported? Ive ehard of this before | 03:41 |
| Datz | J_C: ah, I see. ohsix nope, just a warning and then I'm logged out again | 03:42 |
| jdkoreclipse | yo | 03:42 |
| harpreet | ecinx, wat thing? | 03:42 |
| ohsix | unison is heavy and will not work great for jobs ran more than daily | 03:42 |
| harpreet | What region of dvd , dvd styler creates as iso that we later burn? | 03:42 |
| Darkenvy | yea unison is a one time deal. I need it to run daemon. Always on and syncing constantly | 03:42 |
| J_C | ahh | 03:42 |
| J_C | what about cron and rsync, just a suggestion? | 03:43 |
| ecinx | harpreet, quartus I don't know what's the professional use of it, but it's what we use in digital logic | 03:43 |
| ohsix | Datz: i mean in your regular desktop session, install the driver there; if "Extra" effects in the appearance applet works then unity should too | 03:43 |
| Darkenvy | the purpose of the syncing btw, is a second game server to share gamedata between. I dont think I need this hardcore mysql. so rsync probably can do what I need? | 03:43 |
| Datz | ohsix: ah, ok. i'll make a note, not booted to that drive anymore | 03:44 |
| Datz | thanks | 03:44 |
| J_C | Darkenvy: if the changes are relatively intermittant that may work, a 5 minute or 10 minute cron job? | 03:44 |
| phrac | Darkenvy: yes, but its not going to be instant updates | 03:44 |
| Darkenvy | thats fine! | 03:44 |
| ohsix | the files will all be scanned as part of the process too | 03:44 |
| Darkenvy | How do I setup rsync to push and pull? I find the oddest documentation on it for one time jobs and such | 03:45 |
| amit | ho to make full screen in virtual os | 03:45 |
| J_C | Darkenvy: I would check the docs for a one time job setup, put together a small bash scitpt doing the same, then drop it into cron | 03:45 |
| J_C | script | 03:46 |
| sheenz | ok muttter is running, cant switch | 03:46 |
| amit | and is there any way to open tty modes for virtual OS? | 03:46 |
| sheenz | ??? | 03:46 |
| Darkenvy | What is cron exactly? a process that runs scripts intermittently? | 03:46 |
| ohsix | it's far better to share a common filesystem | 03:46 |
| J_C | Darkenvy: exactly | 03:46 |
| J_C | Darkenvy: check out /etc/cron.d, cron.daily, etc to get an idea, also there are excellent references on the 'net | 03:47 |

| Surye | Is there any known issues with this installer, or is something seriously fubared? | 03:49 |
| sheenz | any help : appearance preferences--> visual Effects -->mutter is running, cant switch?? what is this | 03:50 |
| J_C | Surye: just for doublecheck, have you checked the cd on another system, possible prob with that particular hardware? | 03:50 |
| cabbie-ubuntu | im getting a permission error trying to create a file within etc/udev/rules.d so i pretty much assume its a sudo issue but not sure how to work around it. I'm trying to do this: http://nookdevs.com/ADB_Over_USB (scroll to linux) | 03:50 |
| J_C | cabbie-ubuntu: have you sudo'd to root or are you trying it as the standard user you are logged in as? | 03:51 |
| J_C | only root can write to that directory | 03:52 |
| ohsix | cabbie-ubuntu: try reading the android docs on android.com | 03:52 |
| RandyRKelly | Hello I need help. I did a partial upgrade and now I have no net work. No internet connect. | 03:52 |
| Surye | J_C: Is there anyway to install from the usb drive, but only to do a full install from the net? | 03:52 |
| ohsix | cabbie-ubuntu: theres a lot of garbage tutorials and misinformation surrounding the stuff; best to get it from the source | 03:52 |
| Blue1 | ['= | 03:53 |
| J_C | Surye: I'm sure there is, but offhand I can't give you direct instructions. Check for a network install cd | 03:53 |
| ohsix | Surye: yes, with the alternate install media, you should try the ubuntu usb maker & skip the third party utilities | 03:54 |
| amit | how to use my virtual box OS in full screen? | 03:54 |
| J_C | and put that on the usb stick | 03:54 |
| h00k | !virtualbox | amit | 03:54 |
| ubottu | amit: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 03:54 |
| Surye | ohsix: Where is that? I thought it was not included anymore? | 03:54 |
| dr3af | hello,i recently read about the "200 line kernel patch" that do the system faster.My question is,is this patch applied to the latest kernel 10.10 uses?or we must do something to apply that patch? | 03:54 |
| ohsix | in windows i don't know, in ubuntu it's under system -> administration -> startup disk creator | 03:55 |
| klj613- | how can i get a list of all my possible mounts? sd1, sd2 etc and saying what they are. | 03:55 |
| Rommel_ | Ello all | 03:55 |
| Rommel_ | Anyone recommend a good 5.1 soundcard that works with Ubuntu? | 03:55 |
| ohsix | klj613-: udisks --dump | 03:56 |
| klj613- | ty | 03:56 |
| psusi | dr3af, you read the opinion of an idiot. It does not make anything faster. All it does is prevent 64 programs all running in a terminal window from hogging the cpu from other gui tasks | 03:56 |
| J_C | klj613-: you could look at /etc/fstab to see what the system is directly aware of | 03:56 |
| nit-wit | klj613-, sudo fdisk -l | 03:56 |
| Rommel_ | Bout to get a 5.1 system, and not sure whether the various cards will work, as my old (yet shitty) one doesn't work | 03:56 |
| klj613- | im tryin to figure out which one is my memory stick to remount it with full permissions for everyone | 03:56 |
| dr3af | psusi: linus made this patch.right? | 03:56 |
| bastidrazor | klj613-: sudo fdisk -l ::will list all partitions and the /dev/sXXX | 03:56 |
| psusi | dr3af, no, he didn't. | 03:56 |
| ohsix | udisks is the winningest! | 03:57 |
| Rommel_ | So, any ideas for a good 5.1 sound card for Ubuntu 10.10? | 03:57 |
| cabbie-ubuntu | J_C, ohsix basically im getting a device not found error. Running adb remount as sudo gives no devices found | 03:57 |
| bastidrazor | ohsix: a bit overkill | 03:57 |
| ohsix | Rommel_: you don't have an hdaudio or ac97 card that does 5/7.1 already? | 03:57 |
| Rommel_ | I have onboard... and its horrible :P | 03:57 |
| ohsix | bastidrazor: "and saying what they are" | 03:57 |
| J_C | klj613-: is the stick mounted now? if so, just run mount in a command lin to show what is mounted, then run remount with the appropriate switches "man mount" | 03:58 |
| ohsix | Rommel_: in most cases its fine coming out of the machine, only to be made worse after :P | 03:58 |
| cabbie-ubuntu | I was running the ubuntu desktop version but that got corrupted and now im on the netbook version. Previously talking to my device was fine, im trying to walk back what might have gone wrong | 03:58 |
| Rommel_ | haha, unfortunately its bung, only 1 channel works out of the back | 03:59 |
| ohsix | J_C: can't remount fuse mounts, chances are he'll need allow_other | 03:59 |
| dr3af | psusi: so,if the guy who wrote that is an idiot,why linus is going to import this patch to the kernel?at least thats what i understand in the mailing list.. | 03:59 |
| klj613- | /dev/sdd is my memory stick. and i unmounted the device ready to remount it | 03:59 |
| Rommel_ | The output doesn't work at all in Win7 :D | 03:59 |
| J_C | fuse mounts are a pain, I think :-) | 03:59 |
| ohsix | Rommel_: nice | 03:59 |
| psusi | dr3af, the guy who wrote it isn't an idiot... it's all of the hype about it that is idiocy... mostly from Phoronix and his readers | 03:59 |
| Rommel_ | so | 03:59 |
| J_C | remount -o rw ? | 03:59 |
| klj613- | -o ? | 03:59 |
| dr3af | what phoronix is? | 03:59 |
| psusi | dr3af, a guy with a blog | 04:00 |
| machogeek | has anyone set the Client id using dhcp3? I am a bit of a nob w/ linux and haven't been able to figure out where to set this | 04:00 |
| J_C | I'm not on a linux box at the moment, but man monunt will give you all the switches | 04:00 |
| J_C | man mount | 04:00 |
| dr3af | psusi: so i shouldnt apply this patch? | 04:00 |
| J_C | -o options | 04:00 |
| psusi | dr3af, you can apply it if you want, just don't expect it to do much | 04:00 |
| psusi | dr3af, unless you like to run make -j64 | 04:01 |
| J_C | options being read, write and all | 04:01 |
| kusanagi | what do i have to do to upgrade from 10.04.1 to 10.04.2? | 04:01 |
| klj613- | i need everything to have full rights of the memory stick for a symlink for apache to work. how do i remount giving everyone full rights? | 04:01 |
| dr3af | psusi: only at this way it will work?not ,for example, at full load? | 04:01 |
| rww | kusanagi: nothing. point releases like 10.04.1 and 10.04.2 are just rollups of normal updates. if you've been paying attention to update messages, you're fine./ | 04:01 |
| superman | hey guy wat u doing | 04:01 |
| ohsix | machogeek: sending dhcp options is gr8 stuff, confusing as hell; but dhclient has shorthand for it. send dhcp-client-identifier | 04:01 |
| kusanagi | thanks rww :D | 04:01 |
| J_C | check the mount man page, something like, remount -o rw,all /dev/sdd1 | 04:01 |
| superman | hey guy wat u doing | 04:02 |
| Snowdrift | убунту 10.10. как понять где звук в /дев/ ? | 04:02 |
| klj613- | ok | 04:02 |
| Rommel_ | So any recommendations | 04:02 |
| Rommel_ | Not fussed for budget | 04:02 |
| Rommel_ | lol | 04:02 |
| Snowdrift | ubuntu 10.10. how to understand where the sound in / Dev /? | 04:02 |
| ohsix | machogeek: you'll have to figure out how to get ubuntu's networking stuff to use your configuration, i haven't had to do it yet so i don't know | 04:02 |
| machogeek | ohsix: would i put that in the option list? | 04:02 |
| psusi | dr3af, the patch groups processes by tty and schedules them with that information. This means if you run 64 cpu hungry processes in a terminal window ( which make -j64 tries to do ) thiat patch will stop them from totally hogging the cpu from other tasks, thus keeping the rest of the system responsive. If you aren't doing somelike as stupid as running make -j64, then it won't do anything for you. | 04:03 |
| === antihero_ is now known as antihero | ||
| ohsix | in the interface declaration in dhclient.conf; nm-applet already has a gui box for it if that's what you're using | 04:03 |
| dr3af | psusi: Ok,thank you for the info my friend :) | 04:03 |
| ohsix | Rommel_: i'm partial to the xonar cards | 04:04 |
| machogeek | ohsix: eth0 dosen't appear w/ in the gui box | 04:04 |
| Snowdrift | application writes /dev/dsp : No such file or directory. | 04:04 |
| Rommel_ | I was looking at that | 04:05 |
| Rommel_ | Was it a fuss to install? | 04:05 |
| psusi | dr3af, Phoronix posted on his blog "oh my god, look what a difference it makes in the responsiveness of the rest of the desktop when I run make -j64!" and a lot of his readers were mislead into thinking that "it makes everything faster!" | 04:05 |
| ohsix | machogeek: it shows the mac address of it, and in "auto" connections it shows the name in the connection name, the client id is on the ipv4 settings page | 04:05 |
| Rommel_ | Ideally I might go something that lasts the distance, such as Creative X-Fi pro... just reading around how it works on Ubuntu now... its a USB soundcard, interesting lol | 04:06 |
| ohsix | psusi: responsiveness isn't really expounded in talk of "faster" | 04:06 |
| dr3af | psusi: So thats explain it nice. Maybe my "source" was a reader of phoronix guy :D | 04:06 |
| drc | dr3af: read it for yourself http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_2637_video&num=1 | 04:07 |
| ohsix | Rommel_: creative might be a strong name, but that's about all it is | 04:07 |
| machogeek | ohsix: i have to manually enter it for it to appear in the list | 04:07 |
| Rommel_ | ha | 04:07 |
| dr3af | drc: thank you :) | 04:07 |
| machogeek | ohsix: after i enter it, the client id dosen't take upon resetart | 04:07 |
| drc | dr3af: np | 04:08 |
| Rommel_ | I think I might go with the Creative one afterall tho | 04:08 |
| machogeek | ohsix: ah, i think you just helped big time w/ that htpd.conf file | 04:08 |
| ohsix | before vista they actually had a lock on eax, and you either had a creative card or no eax | 04:08 |
| drc | dr3af: that's what FOSS is all about, make your own choice :) | 04:08 |
| machogeek | ohsix: fingers crossed | 04:08 |
| Rommel_ | Purely cause the USB portability would be good as I move between a lappy/computer but at the same desk | 04:08 |
| Rommel_ | Reading around on ubuntu forums seems its easy to get working | 04:09 |
| dr3af | drc: well,i wont "make" anything so i dont need that patch! | 04:09 |
| Rommel_ | Just have to ensure right packages are there using ALSA | 04:09 |
| J_C | here is one quote from a tester of the patch: "It's not so much a performance boost than it is better balancing of resources. Your computer is not any faster, but it will distribute CPU power more evenly so that everything will *feel* faster." | 04:10 |
| R-Touch | why... why are they looking to use unity? | 04:10 |
| R-Touch | it looks terrible | 04:10 |
| ohsix | Rommel_: you might have less trouble from a usb device from another vendor | 04:10 |
| dr3af | is the beta of 11.04 out? or any link to the schedule? | 04:10 |
| J_C | R-Touch: It looks like they are going after the Mac OS X look and feel | 04:10 |
| ohsix | R-Touch: looks are a subjective thing | 04:10 |
| ohsix | you can be sure they're not doing it for looks | 04:11 |
| R-Touch | does unity actually look or feel like mac os x? | 04:11 |
| rww | R-Touch: no | 04:11 |
| R-Touch | it looked more like a shitty and simplistic menu system | 04:11 |
| rww | !natty | dr3af | 04:11 |
| ubottu | dr3af: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. | 04:11 |
| J_C | marketing, too, it's not bad on a netbook | 04:11 |
| dr3af | rww: i know that,i just asked if the beta is out... | 04:11 |
| ohsix | wait, you're complaining about how it looks but don't know what it looks like? | 04:12 |
| J_C | R-Touch: but just about prfect for a small screen netbook, once all the bugs are worked out | 04:12 |
| redshift | hmm | 04:12 |
| === jon_athon is now known as Phil_O_and_Sophi | ||
| === Phil_O_and_Sophi is now known as Phil_O_n_Sophia | ||
| drc | dr3af: nope, just A2, iirc | 04:12 |
| R-Touch | ohsix: i've seen one screenshot ... i wasn't impressed to say the least | 04:12 |
| ohsix | R-Touch: good job guy | 04:12 |
| J_C | R-Touch: have you used it? | 04:12 |
| Rommel_ | well name another vendor | 04:13 |
| J_C | I'm not promoting it, I just see some of the usefullness | 04:13 |
| ohsix | i'm pretty sure this is offtopic anyways | 04:13 |
| klj613- | im sure i formated my memory stick as NTFS but in properties (ubuntu) it says its msdos filesystem? | 04:13 |
| soreau | R-Touch: Since gnome-shell hasn't proven to be very good, they decided to implement unity with compiz | 04:13 |
| erikaflusa | hi all | 04:13 |
| Rommel_ | The only soundcards I can find that are Creative and the ASUS Xonar | 04:13 |
| cba123 | I have a drive that isn't being mounted. It is ext | 04:13 |
| R-Touch | ohsix: well, i came in here looking to find out more about it as well .. i'll be the first to admit i'm pretty ignorant about unity | 04:13 |
| erikaflusa | i have question | 04:13 |
| komputer6 | hi all | 04:13 |
| erikaflusa | on ubuntu 10.10 install | 04:13 |
| komputer6 | gimana kabar semua..? | 04:13 |
| ohsix | R-Touch: get a livecd and take it for a ride, or install it on your existing install of ubuntu | 04:13 |
| dr3af | erikaflusa: make your question in one line please :) | 04:13 |
| komputer6 | ubuntu siip | 04:14 |
| drc | dr3af: March 31st – Beta 1 with B2 two weeks later and the release two weeks later than that | 04:14 |
| J_C | R-Touch: if you're familiar with Mac OS X you will see a lot of similiarities in attempted llok and feel | 04:14 |
| J_C | look | 04:14 |
| erikaflusa | SQUASHFS error | 04:14 |
| dr3af | drc: thank you again :) | 04:14 |
| R-Touch | alright ... there's a livecd specifically for unity though? | 04:14 |
| uRock | Ubuntu is better than OS X | 04:14 |
| drc | dr3af: yw | 04:14 |
| erikaflusa | im not sure what it means | 04:14 |
| erikaflusa | i have live cd in system | 04:15 |
| ohsix | Rommel_: i usually go to zzounds or musicians choice to find brands; the rest are passable chinese outfits | 04:15 |
| erikaflusa | unable to read page block beed91 | 04:15 |
| R-Touch | os x is highly overrated so i'm tempted to agree | 04:15 |
| ohsix | uRock: is that assertion the result of some empyrical study? | 04:15 |
| R-Touch | the only thing i can't do (on this laptop) with ubuntu that i can with windows 7 is watch blu-rays | 04:16 |
| Ziber | what do i put in /etc/fstab to get an smbmount to stay put? | 04:16 |
| uRock | ohsix, just a fact of life | 04:16 |
| J_C | unity takes a little getting used to, but it's not terrible or anything | 04:16 |
| Rommel_ | k, I'll check them out | 04:16 |
| Rommel_ | thanks for the help | 04:16 |
| ohsix | uRock: your world must be a hoot with those sort of facts | 04:16 |
| J_C | I just happen to like gnome better | 04:16 |
| erikaflusa | hello | 04:16 |
| dr3af | erikaflusa: is the iso downloaded ok?is the media writed correctly?u can also check your ram for errors. | 04:16 |
| erikaflusa | yes | 04:17 |
| uRock | ohsix, nah, I just don't believe in overpaying for cheap hardware | 04:17 |
| erikaflusa | it booted up in as live cd | 04:17 |
| R-Touch | hrmmm... this video of unity makes it seem a lot more interesting | 04:17 |
| R-Touch | the only problem being is that something so animation-heavy under ubuntu is usually extremely unstable | 04:17 |
| ohsix | uRock: ok so it has nothing to do with osx, but your lack of money | 04:17 |
| erikaflusa | it says installed | 04:17 |
| ohsix | glad we cleared that up | 04:17 |
| dr3af | erikaflusa: try to burn the iso one more time,with the slowest speed | 04:18 |
| uRock | ohsix, that is not what I said, if their hardware breaks too often, then what good is it, please do not put words in people's mouthes | 04:18 |
| soreau | R-Touch: Just wait till after 11.04 release and try a live session with an open mind | 04:18 |
| ohsix | R-Touch: daily natty images are available here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 04:19 |
| erikaflusa | its over 2/3 done installing | 04:19 |
| ohsix | uRock: we're both entitled to what we loosely call facts | 04:19 |
| ohsix | what you have is an opinion | 04:19 |
| dr3af | erikaflusa: that means something is corrupted. I already told u a solution,try that and see | 04:19 |
| erikaflusa | geez | 04:19 |
| uRock | ohsix, I don't like their pricing nor their OS, I have seen two Lappies die in less than three years | 04:20 |
| erikaflusa | ok | 04:20 |
| ohsix | R-Touch: i dunno if natty is already rolling with unity though, i use classic desktop sessions still & haven't tried the nightlies | 04:20 |
| erikaflusa | ill try it | 04:20 |
| JeffCBR | How can I turn off Gnome? | 04:20 |
| ohsix | uRock: i've seen pigs fly, prove me wrong | 04:20 |
| Teddy | for some reason ubuntu alternative installer is simply ignoring my preseed file. any suggestions? | 04:20 |
| R-Touch | thanks ohsix ... i'm actually looking to return to ubuntu once 11.04 is out ... windows 7 is nice and all but i am truly bored with it. i rather enjoy ubuntu | 04:20 |
| soreau | JeffCBR: What do you mean turn off gnome? | 04:20 |
| R-Touch | besides, i like to donate for open-source software | 04:20 |
| erikaflusa | i guess | 04:21 |
| JeffCBR | I want to stop Gnome. | 04:21 |
| uRock | ohsix, If we drink enough we will probably both see pigs fly | 04:21 |
| ohsix | R-Touch: right now i'm using my special mix of sw from natty in 10.10 (firefox mainly) | 04:21 |
| klj613- | i still cant figure out how to remount with full permissions for everyone >.< | 04:21 |
| securetux | Hi, i need some help. I've installed ubuntu (i've also windows 7 installed) when i boot up my pc it skips grub menu (never shows up) and boots ubuntu. I've check there is no menu.lst in the grub directoy what can i do? | 04:21 |
| ohsix | uRock: who's to say i didn't? the point being that empty statements of fact and anecdotes do not depict fact | 04:21 |
| uRock | ohsix, luckily for the user that has had these problem, the warranty was great | 04:22 |
| k_sze | Awwww. | 04:22 |
| klj613- | securetux: i think the booters for ubuntu and w7 got to be on same hard drive for a "dual boot" | 04:22 |
| klj613- | different partitions, but same hdd | 04:22 |
| k_sze | gedit doesn't seem to parse multiline here-doc correctly | 04:22 |
| securetux | klj613-, what should i do then? | 04:23 |
| ohsix | there are non-computer reasons to own a mac, too; so it's all moot | 04:23 |
| ohsix | k_sze: report a bug? :D | 04:23 |
| k_sze | oops, nvm | 04:23 |
| JeffCBR | Anyone? Is this a complicated thing? I can't find anything anywhere. I just want to turn off the Gnome Desktop to save system resources. | 04:23 |
| k_sze | a space at the end of the final delimiter. | 04:23 |
| uRock | ohsix, yup, people will buy what they want, and always have different experiences with it | 04:23 |
| klj613- | securetux: well im not sure if thats it or not. but 75% sure. i would reformat ubuntu and when it asks where to put the booter put it on same hard drive as the windows booter. but i suggest research into it or get second opinion from here | 04:23 |
| mister_m | could someone tell me why this library can't be found? (shell output: http://pastebin.com/yPvzhXmx) | 04:24 |
| chalcedony | are there things i need to know about using google earth on ubuntu 10.04? it won't zoom in like my friend's with windows7 | 04:24 |
| securetux | klj613-, ty! | 04:24 |
| uRock | chalcedony, Google Earth doesn't work as well on Linux | 04:24 |
| chalcedony | uRock, darn :( | 04:25 |
| ohsix | JeffCBR: people probably think you're trolling :] disabling gnome isn't something you can do, it's just a collection of software; some which you can remove/disable, but probably none that you _can_ will get you what you want | 04:25 |
| ohsix | google earth works great here | 04:25 |
| JeffCBR | I can't disable Gnome? | 04:25 |
| uRock | JeffCBR, if you want to disable gnome, then install KDE and uninstall gnome | 04:25 |
| chalcedony | ohsix, what did you do to make it work? | 04:25 |
| ohsix | chalcedony: did you use make-googleearth-package? | 04:25 |
| JeffCBR | I want to turn off the Desktop environment altogether. | 04:26 |
| ohsix | uRock: that is a non sequitur | 04:26 |
| gaelfx | JeffCBR: it sounds like you want the server edition | 04:26 |
| JeffCBR | I only access this machine via SSH and the Destop is wasting resources. | 04:26 |
| uRock | ohsix, how is that diferent from using their installer? | 04:26 |
| JeffCBR | I didn't install server edition. | 04:26 |
| ohsix | JeffCBR: uninstall ubuntu-desktop | 04:26 |
| bastidrazor | JeffCBR: you can boot to text only.. in /etc/default/grub add text in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" | 04:26 |
| ohsix | uRock: it doesn't mangle your system? | 04:26 |
| gaelfx | JeffCBR: well, have you given any thought to trying it out? | 04:27 |
| chalcedony | ohsix, no, downloaded it and dpkg | 04:27 |
| bastidrazor | JeffCBR: then sudo update-grub ...also you can stop gnome now by sudo service gdm stop | 04:27 |
| uRock | ohsix, I may have to give it a try soon | 04:27 |
| ohsix | chalcedony: try the package maker | 04:27 |
| chalcedony | ohsix, it works but it's distant and blurry | 04:27 |
| gaelfx | JeffCBR: if you set up your partitions correctly, it should be easy to reinstall the server edition over the desktop version | 04:27 |
| ohsix | it doesn't sound like it will solve your problem, but i've never had a problem withthe built debs, of your kind or others | 04:28 |
| JeffCBR | gaelfx: I don't want to install the server edition. | 04:28 |
| ohsix | JeffCBR: the server edition is just a profile that doesn't install the desktop | 04:28 |
| uRock | ohsix, I haven't had issues with it, I judge it by the threads seen on UF | 04:28 |
| JeffCBR | ohsix: Yes, I'm aware. | 04:29 |
| uRock | I haven't installed it since 9.10 | 04:29 |
| mister_m | could someone tell me why this library can't be found? (shell output: http://pastebin.com/yPvzhXmx) | 04:29 |
| JeffCBR | It can't possible take more time to simply turn Gnome off than reinstall the OS... | 04:29 |
| bastidrazor | JeffCBR: i gave you a good way to boot straight to a shell without uninstalling anything | 04:29 |
| ohsix | JeffCBR: you can change your system to the server version by uninstalling ubuntu-desktop + installing ubuntu-server, if thats still too much theres a package that brings in almost nothing | 04:29 |
| drc | JeffCBR: maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43516 would help | 04:29 |
| JeffCBR | bastidrazor: I'd rather not mess with the bootloader. | 04:29 |
| coz_ | mister_m, are you compiling something? | 04:29 |
| gaelfx | JeffCBR: but the problem is undoing some things is a lot trickier than not having them done in the first place | 04:29 |
| mister_m | coz_: just trying to run dwarf fortress | 04:30 |
| ohsix | JeffCBR: you can stop gdm from starting, thats it; if you don't use the desktop software you can free up some space by removing it; and fix your problem | 04:30 |
| coz_ | mister_m, ok open synaptic package manager hit Search and type in libsdl look for the .dev pakage for that library unless it is looking for an older version....check version nnumbers available in synaptic | 04:30 |
| uRock | mister_m, looks like the lib isn't in the directory that the program is trying to run from, did you just install it or was it working before | 04:31 |
| mister_m | uRock: this is my first time trying to use it | 04:31 |
| JeffCBR | CifIjf4c | 04:31 |
| ja660k | how do i check whos connected to me on a specific port? | 04:31 |
| mister_m | uRock: there are no install instructions and no makefile | 04:32 |
| gaelfx | mister_m: is it a .bin? | 04:32 |
| ohsix | mister_m: you'll need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or run it from the right location | 04:33 |
| uRock | mister_m, that lib is in the repos, you can install via Synaptic | 04:33 |
| ohsix | uRock: it's already there | 04:33 |
| uRock | k | 04:34 |
| ohsix | mister_m: post the output of nm & ldd on the actual binary; it will show where it is looking for libraries | 04:34 |
| mister_m | ohsix: okay give me a second to figure that out | 04:34 |

| JeffCBR | Ok, it's at the "login" screen. | 04:38 |
| sneakyimp | mister_m: i requested a new password, login repeatedly, get 'thanks for logging in' and then it redirects me to blank login page | 04:38 |
| ohsix | JeffCBR: thats gdm | 04:38 |
| JeffCBR | if I kill gdm? | 04:38 |
| mister_m | ohsix: (I'm on debian but no one is in a helpful mood over there) | 04:38 |
| ohsix | JeffCBR: it will respawn, you want to stop it and tell upstart to not start it at all on boot | 04:39 |

| BlueBomber7 | droidftw: The password for root. In Ubuntu you probably shouldn't be switching to the root user that way... | 04:42 |
| Chipzzz | JeffCBR: did you try ctrl-alt-f1? | 04:42 |
| Jordan_U | !root | droidftw | 04:42 |
| ubottu | droidftw: 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 | 04:42 |
| sneakyimp | mister_m: is there anyone I can contact? I simply cannot login...password reset notwitstanding | 04:42 |
| droidftw | !root | 04:43 |
| ohsix | JeffCBR: it won't run any quicker if you just stop gdm | 04:43 |

| blackxored | Here's the thing, what it came too so far, I'm using a openvpn connection both at work and outside work through dialup, the thing is whenenver i'm on dialup i experience huge packet losses, over my ISP's routing I almost experience none, so it's definitely the VPN, maybe I'm doing something wrong, maybe I'm missing something, or maybe it's the way it's supposed to be, does anybody have a clue on it??? | 04:55 |
| JeffCBR | Ok, I'm getting somewhere. :D | 04:55 |
| ohsix | JeffCBR: getty's are what run on tty's that'll give you a chance to log in | 04:56 |
| cntb | switch keyb layout should b eput again eeuu lam etc. how to have it on startup? | 04:56 |
| J_C | think get tty | 04:56 |
| JeffCBR | gnome is definitely dead now. :D | 04:56 |
| brandon420 | BlackBinary,serious question. why you still using dialup? | 04:56 |
| J_C | why is Gnome dead? | 04:56 |
| DaGeek247 | hai hilarie! | 04:56 |
| blackxored | brandon420: I assume wrong nick, that was for me, well it's the way i've got to access outside work, I ask myself the same question every single minute ;) | 04:57 |

| brandon420 | blackxored, so it works fine while your at work, but not while you are at home? | 04:57 |
| brandon420 | and it was the wrong nick | 04:58 |
| brandon420 | lol | 04:58 |
| J_C | I do't see gdm dead, huge DoD support due to smart card login capabiliy | 04:58 |

| Vanden_X | Hey people, could anyone help me with an issue I'm having with skype and audacity not picking up audio, despite ubuntu detecting it fine? It's just not recording anything. | 04:58 |

| cryptodira | is there any way to revert a farkled top panel to the pristine condition found after a fresh install of 10.04 WITHOUT having to do a fresh install? | 04:58 |
| DaGeek247 | *what | 04:58 |
| blackxored | brandon420: at work it works smoothly because it's obviously faster, my point is at this dialup connection when I use my ISP's routing I have no packets loss, when I switch the traffic to the VPN I have huges | 04:58 |
| DaGeek247 | crypdtodaria yes | 04:59 |
| ohsix | Vanden_X: open the volume control properties and make sure you're recording the right inputs & your card profile is set to allow recording | 04:59 |
| JeffCBR | Ideally, I'd like this machine to boot to tty1. | 04:59 |
| Pecvitir | hello everyone | 04:59 |

| Taffy | hat OS/browser? huh | 04:59 |
| DaGeek247 | *what | 04:59 |
| J_C | JeffCBR: change to init 3 | 04:59 |
| DaGeek247 | Taffy do you use IE? | 04:59 |
| J_C | instead of init 5 | 05:00 |
| blackxored | JeffCBR: sysv-rc-conf gdm disable | 05:00 |
| J_C | runlevel | 05:00 |
| Taffy | DaGeek: no firefow | 05:00 |
| Chipzzz | Taffy: I think by default firfox downloads to ~/Downloads | 05:00 |
| BlackWeb | The fonts on my applications that i launched are all whited it out, wondering if anyone has experienced this before | 05:00 |
| ohsix | blackxored: most vpn (maybe all) will be seriously hampered by running over dialup | 05:00 |
| BlackWeb | and a quick fix | 05:00 |
| Taffy | k thx | 05:00 |
| blackxored | ohsix: well it's basically the only way I've got to accessing my work's resources | 05:00 |
| ohsix | blackxored: they use udp or tunnel packet formats that do not tolerate dialup at all | 05:00 |
| J_C | vpn's over dialup are very unreliable | 05:00 |
| brandon420 | blackxored, sorry man, idk. my first thought would be your isp. but you said its fine while not using the vpn, so im kinda lost. | 05:00 |
| blackxored | the main question is what do I do about it | 05:00 |
| cntb | switch keyb layout should b eput again eeuu lam etc. how to have it on startup? | 05:01 |
| J_C | not much | 05:01 |
| Loshki | J_C: JeffCBR: the runlevel stuff doesn't really work in ubuntu. You could try switching off gdm, but I've had sound problems when doing so... | 05:01 |
| blackxored | ohsix, J_C: what can I do? if anything? | 05:01 |
| ohsix | blackxored: i don't think theres anything you can do, back in the dialup days people had you dial into the office to get at work stuff | 05:01 |
| J_C | ubuntu server defaults to runlevel 3 with no probs with sound, just my experience | 05:01 |
| JeffCBR | I'm not really concerned with sound. | 05:02 |
| ohsix | J_C: pulse and consolekit are in play if gdm is running | 05:02 |
| JeffCBR | There won't be anything but power and network plugged into this machine. | 05:02 |
| _skpl | how can i make ubuntu show output during startup? | 05:02 |
| blackxored | somehow I believe there's something else involved, I mean it's not like is always loosing packets, it happens on differnt internvals | 05:02 |

| JeffCBR | tprow: Try byobu | 05:11 |

| Loshki | ohsix: In that case, we can butcher your install right here... | 05:15 |
| J_C | http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html | 05:15 |
| JeffCBR | What can I grep to see what processes are running for gdm to work? | 05:16 |
| JeffCBR | ps -e | grep tty7 shows only Xorg. | 05:16 |
| Loshki | J_C: note that levels 3 thru 5 are the same as level 2... | 05:16 |
| ohsix | trackstar: if you open the monitor applet from system -> preferences does it detect them all | 05:17 |
| J_C | Loshki: no they are different, classic UNIX is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel | 05:18 |
| freakabcd | hi all | 05:19 |
| ohsix | trackstar: xrandr is the ultimate arbiter, if it can't see anything on the connection then you probably need to debug that and the desktop stuff is working as expected | 05:19 |
| iflema | !nox | JeffCBR | 05:19 |
| ubottu | JeffCBR: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 05:19 |
| J_C | runlevel 2 starts without networks, runlevel 3 is network + multi-user, runlevel 45 is X | 05:19 |
| JeffCBR | iflema, that will prevent the processes from even starting? | 05:19 |
| Loshki | J_C: I believe debian broke^H^H^H^H^H changed the runlevel stuff, and most of the derived distros inherited it.. | 05:19 |
| J_C | 5, I mean | 05:19 |
| ohsix | J_C: that might be convention, but you can have them do whatever you want | 05:19 |
| J_C | could be | 05:19 |
| freakabcd | my laptop is running 10.04 Lucid now. What is the easiest way to upgrade to 10.10 Maverick ? | 05:19 |
| J_C | but not standard | 05:20 |
| yahooeny | hey I have my own problem too; after something went wrong with my package manager, and java not restarting, I restarted my PC, and could no longer log in. There was a message saying "The Gnome power settings defaults were incorrectly installed. See System admin"... | 05:20 |
| ohsix | freakabcd: update-manager, it should say maverick is available | 05:20 |
| JeffCBR | sudo shutdown 0 | 05:20 |
| freakabcd | i wanted to go straight to 11.04 Natty, but i gather the repos aren;t really ready with all the packages | 05:20 |
| Chipzzz | Loshki: you mean about the change to upstart? | 05:20 |
| ohsix | freakabcd: not to mention it's only february :] | 05:20 |
| maco | freakabcd: you cant skip 10.10 on your way to natty, but we would welcome more alpha testers | 05:20 |
| freakabcd | ohsix: well, i ran the kubuntu live disc. and it was rocking! | 05:20 |
| ohsix | if that's your threshold for rockin' gnome must put you in a coma | 05:21 |
| Loshki | Chipzzz: yes, I think it was the upstart stuff that did it... | 05:21 |
| freakabcd | maco: only thing i'm afraid of is that i might lose use of some of the packages due to them being missing/etc. on natty repos | 05:21 |
| J_C | ohsix: of course you can, just change your rc.x directories, but there is a difference by default, generally | 05:21 |
| trackstar | ohsix, any idea what that error means? "Failed to get size of gamma for output default"? If it helps I used to have an LCD monitor and a CRT tv (hooked up by s-video) on this pc, then I got rid of the monitor and it was just the CRT ... now there's the other TV by HDMI too | 05:21 |
| freakabcd | ohsix: indeed. i sometimes feel using gnome makes me lethargic | 05:22 |
| freakabcd | strange as it may seem | 05:22 |
| ohsix | trackstar: its just a message, it shouldn't be an error | 05:22 |
| JeffCBR | when you shutdown, does it hang at the ubuntu splash? | 05:22 |
| maco | freakabcd: packages are generally only removed if they are unmaintained or have been having build failures for over a year | 05:22 |
| Chipzzz | Loshki: the runlevels still work, they are just managed and executed differently now | 05:22 |
| maco | freakabcd: (more like two years) | 05:22 |
| uRock | I wish they'd remove firestarter | 05:22 |
| freakabcd | maco: wow. so basically all the packages are already built for natty? | 05:22 |
| cntb | i feel Imaybe pushing my luck already have realplayer11 installed - in mac and pc it adds downloader inyoutube and convertor what abiut linux inthis aspect | 05:22 |
| maco | freakabcd: of course! we're at alpha 2! | 05:23 |
| freakabcd | sweet | 05:23 |
| freakabcd | i will update-manager to 10.10 and then update-manager to 11.04 ? | 05:23 |
| ohsix | freakabcd: damn straight; working software is boring as hell | 05:23 |
| maco | freakabcd: well i mean in the first place, they are simply copied over from maverick to start. then we sync anything of which there are new versions from debian during the first 2 weeks | 05:23 |
| mneptok | freakabcd: you cannot go from 10.04 straight to 11.04 | 05:23 |
| maco | freakabcd: to get from 10.10 to 11.04, youd do "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" | 05:23 |
| maco | mneptok: not what freakabcd said, so its ok :) | 05:23 |
| Loshki | Chipzzz: My point is that you can't turn off X11 in standard ubuntu simply by changing the runlevel as you can in other distros | 05:24 |
| uRock | or break sources.list | 05:24 |
| freakabcd | maco: thats what i said 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04 :D | 05:24 |
| J_C | Loshki: exactly | 05:24 |
| mneptok | maco: read again: 22:19 < freakabcd> my laptop is running 10.04 Lucid now. What is the easiest way to upgrade to 10.10 Maverick ? | 05:24 |
| maco | mneptok: scroll farther down | 05:24 |
| freakabcd | thanks. now i shall update tp 10.10 first | 05:24 |
| ohsix | Loshki: not that that's a useful statement anyways; you want to disable it, and possibly set what runlevel it actually runs at | 05:24 |
| uRock | freakabcd, a clean install would be easier | 05:24 |
| maco | mneptok: <freakabcd> i will update-manager to 10.10 and then update-manager to 11.04 ? | 05:24 |
| Chipzzz | Loshki: Ah... sorry | 05:24 |
| ohsix | i suggest running stuff in a virtual machine before upgrading | 05:25 |
| J_C | but it can still be done without removing gdm | 05:25 |
| JeffCBR | Ok, the "text" in grub did it! Thanks. | 05:25 |
| === SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq | ||
| JeffCBR | And sorry to whoever told me that earlier and I ignored them. | 05:25 |
| maco | JeffCBR: "text" is not actually a valid instruction. it's just the lack of "quiet splash" that does it | 05:25 |
| ohsix | you didn't ignore them, you said you didn't want to mess with your bootloader | 05:26 |
| JeffCBR | i left quite splash... | 05:26 |
| JeffCBR | just added text to the end | 05:26 |
| J_C | http://askubuntu.com/questions/22498/how-to-auto-boot-into-text-mode | 05:26 |
| freakabcd | i have lucid-bleed ppa enabled | 05:26 |
| ohsix | ugh | 05:26 |
| freakabcd | is there also maverick-bleed ppa ? | 05:26 |
| ohsix | be sure to ppa-purge any ppa's you have installed before doing an upgrade | 05:27 |
| freakabcd | ohsix: ok. i will run ppa-purge | 05:27 |
| maco | JeffCBR: oh. well thats interesting.... | 05:27 |
| iflema | JeffCBR: its just the way to disable gnome *not* the other way.... | 05:27 |
| AbhijiT | hello!!!! :) | 05:28 |
| JeffCBR | Ok... | 05:28 |
| JeffCBR | I think I'm ready to unplug the mouse, keyboard, and monitor and toss this thing is the closet. :D | 05:28 |
| droidftw | do i have to wipe my whole hardrive to upgrade when 11.04 comes out | 05:29 |
| ohsix | no | 05:29 |
| J_C | no | 05:30 |
| droidftw | what do i do | 05:30 |
| JeffCBR | is there a command to remotely restart the system? | 05:30 |
| ohsix | restart? | 05:30 |
| JeffCBR | shutdown 0 seems to leave it running. | 05:30 |
| J_C | personally I would follow the upgrade instructions on Ubuntu's site | 05:30 |
| maco | JeffCBR: sudo reboot | 05:30 |
| ohsix | or shutdown -r now | 05:30 |
| AbhijiT | !upgrade | droidftw | 05:31 |
| ubottu | droidftw: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 05:31 |
| JeffCBR | how about to power down? | 05:31 |
| ohsix | shutdown -h now | 05:31 |
| ohsix | you might want to look into suspending, and enabling wake on lan | 05:31 |
| J_C | -r = reboot, -h = halt | 05:31 |
| JeffCBR | ohsix: Good idea. | 05:31 |
| ohsix | instead of shutting it down you can suspend it, and wake it up from the network | 05:31 |
| maco | JeffCBR: if shutdown -h doesnt actually power off, you need to add -p | 05:31 |
| JeffCBR | omg! | 05:32 |
| maco | JeffCBR: usually only old hardware should need that though | 05:32 |
| uRock | JeffCBR, sudo poweroff | 05:32 |
| freakabcd | any idea how much space i need on / for the upgrade to be successful? | 05:32 |
| maco | freakabcd: a gig-ish? | 05:32 |
| freakabcd | update-manager says it will download 1.5GB and i have 1.7GB free on / | 05:32 |
| ohsix | or broken bioses on new hardware :D if its broken though, a lot of other stuff will be too | 05:32 |
| JeffCBR | Do I have to hold shift every time for the grub solution to work?! | 05:32 |
| freakabcd | is that extra space enough? | 05:32 |
| maco | JeffCBR: you can make it permanent | 05:32 |
| maco | freakabcd: should be. to get more "sudo apt-get clean" | 05:32 |
| uRock | ohsix, when using sudo poweroff? | 05:32 |
| freakabcd | okies | 05:32 |
| maco | JeffCBR: edit /etc/default/grub to have the change you want, then run sudo update-grub | 05:33 |
| Chipzzz | JeffCBR: to shutdown it's sudo shutdown -P now | 05:33 |
| gaelfx | freakabcd: well, if that's all it's downloading, then unpacking will probably be more, so not really | 05:33 |
| JeffCBR | shutdown -h worked. :D | 05:33 |

| avis- | there is a very nice working package for maverick for 64-bit flash, i can get the ppa repo should anyone desire it. it works great. i prefer that one to the 32-bit hack for 64-bit systems, they've done good. | 05:55 |
| AbhijiT | amit <first command> && <second command | 05:56 |
| erikaflusa | im looking at permissions | 05:56 |
| erikaflusa | tab | 05:56 |
| erikaflusa | should i reboot | 05:56 |
| amit | means i have to use && | 05:56 |
| sacarlson | avis-: well you can add to any username so that sudo won't need a password for only certain commands so it can limit the damage | 05:56 |
| AbhijiT | erikaflusa, and you say that there is no execubale option in permissions tab? | 05:56 |
| erikaflusa | correct | 05:56 |
| JeffCBR | any way to clear the screen at a console login screen? | 05:57 |
| AbhijiT | erikaflusa, ok go to terminal again. cd to the directory where that file is. then do chmod +x <filename.exe> | 05:57 |
| AbhijiT | JeffCBR, clear | 05:57 |
| avis- | sacarlson, you have something there it was run as sudo so perhaps since i did a sudo crontab -e i can omit the sudo from boot job @reboot does that sound logical ? | 05:57 |
| JeffCBR | before logging in | 05:57 |
| Chipzzz | _skpl: I was just going to ask you about that... you mentioned that you upgraded and then reverted... maybe the grub that's booting is the wrong one | 05:57 |
| erikaflusa | wait | 05:57 |
| erikaflusa | im confused | 05:57 |

| _skpl | jordan yeah i already did | 05:59 |
| _skpl | http://pastebin.com/th7pvXBG | 05:59 |
| FORCEGC | how can i run docky in low quality to make it go faster? | 05:59 |
| avis- | sacarlson, are you sure it should be @reboot or @boot is there a similar @time because if i cold boot it might not start ? | 05:59 |
| _skpl | Jordan_U: this started after i tried to install 11.04 from an alternate install disc | 06:00 |
| _skpl | instead of a grub menu i get a blinking cursor, then it loads ubuntu desktop | 06:00 |
| Jordan_U | _skpl: That's the normal default. Hold shift to see the menu. | 06:00 |
| edoceo | After upgrading I can clean old kernels out of /boot right? Then how to re-generate the grub configs? | 06:01 |
| sacarlson | avis-: yes I've used @reboot many times, you can point it at a script that adds sleep 100 or something if you think your net won't be up at the time or do some kind of ping loop to wait for it to be up | 06:01 |
| Jordan_U | edoceo: Remove the old kernel packages, the grub menu will be regenerated automatically when you do. | 06:01 |
| _skpl | Jordan_U: even though it doesnt show the icons down at the bottom? it NOTHING BUT a cursor. | 06:01 |
| edoceo | Jordan_U: thx! | 06:01 |
| _skpl | i didnt used to have to press shift to get a grub menu | 06:02 |
| Jordan_U | _skpl: What version of Ubuntu were you using previously? | 06:02 |
| _skpl | 10.10 | 06:02 |
| _skpl | i've re-installed since then | 06:02 |

| sorianocarlos | Hello, room of ubuntu spanish ?? | 06:02 |
| Lasivian | hiya, anyone here have a suggestion on a usb wifi card for Ubuntu? | 06:02 |
| FORCEGC | 10.10 has huge issues 10.04 is where it is at | 06:02 |
| extra11 | FORCEGG like what | 06:03 |
| Jordan_U | _skpl: Ubuntu 10.10 should hide the grub menu by default also, unless it detects another OS (or detects that Ubuntu didn't boot properly the last time a boot was attempted). | 06:03 |
| Chipzzz | _skpl: take a look at this... it's old but the principles should still apply:http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-restore-grub-with-ubuntu-live-cd.html | 06:03 |
| AbhijiT | Lasivian, you want to buy a ubuntu supported usb wifi? | 06:03 |
| Lasivian | AbhijiT: precisely! :) | 06:03 |
| AbhijiT | Lasivian, look here http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog | 06:04 |
| iflema | FORCEGC: thats the whole idea behind LTS releases.... | 06:04 |
| Lasivian | that's where i'm rummaging now | 06:04 |
| FORCEGC | yeah i know iflema | 06:04 |
| Lasivian | but, I figure this would possibly be a question that a human could answer faster :) | 06:04 |
| Jordan_U | _skpl: Chipzzz: Re-installing grub is not needed and will not change anything as this is the intended behavior (as far as grub goes, the splash screen after grub not working would be another issue). | 06:04 |
| _skpl | Jordan_U: how do i change the default so that it shows the grub menu? | 06:04 |
| AbhijiT | :-/ | 06:04 |
| _skpl | i dont get a splash screen either, unless you mean the plymouth loader | 06:05 |
| Chipzzz | Jordan_U: it sounds like he installed another grub, uninstalled that version, but the machine is still booting to that grub | 06:06 |

| erikaflusa | i guess i have to run 9.04 to run wine programs | 06:13 |
| varundesai | i downloaded the manual abhijet,i have an issue with my acer aspire one 532h,i am unable to solve it,i tried a lot | 06:13 |
| Chipzzz | erikaflausa: yes, or right click on the file, look at the permissions & tick 'executable' | 06:14 |
| AbhijiT | varundesai, ask here to channel. with all details | 06:14 |
| erikaflusa | cause i tried everything an cant change the permission | 06:14 |
| erikaflusa | can someone please help | 06:14 |
| Jordan_U | _skpl: The splash screen is not done by grub. Grub passes the "splash" parameter to the kernel and that's it. Since grub is already passing "splash" to the kernel re-installing grub isn't going to change anything. | 06:14 |
| Chipzzz | erikaflusa: then use the terminal and type sudo chmod +x file.exe | 06:14 |
| Fuchs | erikaflusa: on what kind of media is this file? | 06:14 |
| ohsix | Chipzzz: that might not work depending on the filesystem | 06:15 |

| AbhijiT | varundesai, 1st ask here | 06:15 |
| erikaflusa | exe file | 06:15 |
| erikaflusa | i downloaded | 06:15 |
| erikaflusa | wine is installed | 06:15 |
| erikaflusa | the hard drive | 06:15 |
| Fuchs | erikaflusa: because you cant do that on a read only media such as a cd or dvd or on a noexec partition | 06:15 |
| erikaflusa | its on my desktop | 06:16 |
| varundesai | i am using acer aspire one 532h,the main issue is with battery,the battery never charges upto 100 %,it takes several hours to charge,but never charge completely ,and after1 hour,a pop up will come stating battery is critically low | 06:16 |
| Fuchs | erikaflusa: plus you dont have to make it executable | 06:16 |

| erikaflusa | how though | 06:16 |
| erikaflusa | pokerstars.exe | 06:16 |

| varundesai | no issue when i am with xp,but i dont want to switch again for xp for this reason | 06:17 |
| Andyman555 | as a good text web browser? | 06:17 |

| AbhijiT | varundesai, which version of ubuntu | 06:18 |
| Fuchs | erikaflusa: use the tab key to autocomplete the foldername for you, | 06:18 |
| ohsix | varundesai: linux shows the real capacity of the battery, as they age they lose a few percent; and i dunno why your battery drains so fast, but you can get an idea from powertop | 06:18 |

| erikaflusa | damn | 06:38 |
| erikaflusa | i wish this stupid exe would work | 06:39 |
| awaad | What is the difference between modules inside and modules outside the initrd image ? | 06:39 |
| varundesai | AbhijiT, :thank you,i will go throuhg it | 06:40 |
| varundesai | gaeflx:the version is 1.21 | 06:41 |
| avis | sacarlson, the only manner in which i could get it to work is to create a bash script sudo chmod +x it, and then cp to /etc/init.d/ then i had to sudo update-rc.d magic defaults (magic was the simple name of my script) and it works beautifully. i appreciate your inspiring me to give it my best shot, i'm getting lucky on google results :) | 06:41 |
| avis | sacarlson, for that particular function it would fail under both sudo crontab -e and user crontab -e though -- i still thank you | 06:42 |
| varundesai | AbhijiT,gaeflx :i have also another issue with my sd card,my net book has a built in sd card reader,ubuntu is not detecting it,when i try lsusb,it is showing the card reader,but when i insert my sd card,it will not show | 06:43 |
| AbhijiT | varundesai, in my laptop when i insert sd card it dont get detected. when i insert the sd card with a little force then it get detected!!! :P try this!!!! :D | 06:44 |
| sacarlson | avis: very good, I'm not sure if you didn't have sudo setup correct or if you needed time for system to settle before openvpn to run. glad you got it working | 06:44 |
| AbhijiT | i dunno any other solution!!! | 06:45 |
| varundesai | AbhijiT, :k | 06:45 |

| titanium | what are we supposed to be talking about ? | 06:48 |
| bazhang | titanium, check the /topic | 06:48 |
| titanium | well, i would like to talk to some programmers | 06:49 |
| timewriter | i have a radio in my head | 06:49 |
| timewriter | i like it | 06:49 |
| AbhijiT | titanium, ##programming | 06:49 |
| bazhang | titanium, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:49 |
| sacarlson | varundesai: I did find a freedos that this link says you might be able to use to upgrade some bios http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html | 06:49 |
| titanium | ##programming | 06:49 |
| erikaflusa | oh well i guess go back an run 9.04 | 06:50 |
| ohsix | beats figuring it out! | 06:50 |
| titanium | so confused | 06:50 |
| AbhijiT | titanium, type /j ##programming | 06:51 |
| Photocopy | I used to be able to play avi videos fine. Now, I cannot. Totem and VLC both now are putting these strange green patterns all over their output | 06:51 |
| bazhang | Photocopy, disable compiz for one | 06:51 |
| ohsix | Photocopy: what video card? | 06:51 |
| Photocopy | bazhang; never had a problem with video playing with compiz enabled | 06:51 |
| ohsix | it's not compiz | 06:51 |
| ohsix | it could be vaapi or nvidias video acceleration / textured video | 06:52 |
| varundesai | sacarlson, :it will not effect my mother board na,if i go anythng wrong in the procedure | 06:52 |
| cryptodira | bazhang, thanks, i have tried that already... it returns 'no process found' eliminates and special apps i had (expected that) but, whenever i reboot, the nm-app and gnome volume control are NOT there... which i kludgely restore by once again making a custom application addition... hence the original question. | 06:52 |
| Photocopy | ohsix; i don't know, it's the onboard card in my laptop. how can I find it with lspci? | 06:52 |
| ohsix | Photocopy: it should be the only video adapter, just knowing if its intel/nvidia/ati should be good enough | 06:52 |
| Taffy | i just install ubuntu 64-bit 10.10 on a laptop and i'm having a hard time setting up the wireless connection (maybe cause it's a hewlett-packard...lol) i was thinking it's the wireless on/off button i know it's on but still can't find my router | 06:53 |
| ohsix | also did you try other video files, they could be damaged | 06:53 |
| === Gwar_Trolle is now known as Flutterguy | ||
| === Flutterguy is now known as Gwar_Trolle | ||
| Photocopy | ohsix; i still don't know | 06:53 |
| Photocopy | ohsix; i tried other video files, including ones that i've stored that worked previously | 06:54 |
| sacarlson | varundesai: as you have already been warned it may brick your motherboard, I personaly wouldn't do it. my guess is that ubuntu is by default power hungery with compiz and other power demanding applications | 06:54 |
| Photocopy | this worked fine as recently as monday | 06:54 |
| ohsix | sacarlson: compiz can actually save power overall, but generally it's moot whether it's running or not | 06:55 |
| ^Phantom^ | call me old | 06:55 |
| ^Phantom^ | but does ubuntu support floppy drives? | 06:55 |
| ohsix | support how, it reads them and mounts them and you can eject them | 06:56 |
| Photocopy | this is pretty annoying.. =' | 06:56 |
| erikaflusa | abhilll | 06:56 |
| erikaflusa | i found the permissions | 06:56 |
| sacarlson | ohsix: I don't know I'm not a laptop guy, but I see cpu usage high and with all the eye candy you say that saves power? | 06:56 |
| erikaflusa | tab | 06:56 |
| erikaflusa | on the exe file | 06:56 |
| ohsix | sacarlson: no high cpu usage here ... | 06:56 |
| mrglinux | how to find all *.srt extension in a directory and subdirectory using bash? | 06:57 |
| ohsix | mrglinux: only bash or is find enough? it's really the tool for the job. find /directory -iname '*.srt' | 06:57 |
| Photocopy | ohsix; it may be an ati adapter | 06:57 |
| moustiK_ | Hi everyone, by the way those of you who uses gnome(arch,fedora,gentoo,debian,ubuntu,etc...) , how is the transition from gnome 2 to 3 is happening(or will happen), does systemtray, applets and indicators work? Do you know how it will evolve, I am especially wondering what will happen to compiz with others distribution now that they are co linked to unity(for which i am not judging as it's great that they are reciving sponsorship). If my | 06:57 |
| moustiK_ | question is not posted on the right place feel free to correct me | 06:57 |
| erikaflusa | what do i need to change | 06:57 |
| Photocopy | ohsix; how can I find out? | 06:58 |
| erikaflusa | under permissions tab | 06:58 |
| ^Phantom^ | How do you get ubuntu to read floppy diskettes? | 06:58 |
| mrglinux | ohsix:I used find ./ -type f -name \*.srt but it's only find the files in current directory not subdirectories | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ^Phantom^: you may need an fstab entry, has the installer added one for the floppy for you? | 06:58 |
| === Uberloul is now known as uberloul | ||
| ohsix | mrglinux: well, it's recursive by default so i don't know what it's doing | 06:59 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: udisks should handle it like any other volume, aside from polling on some drives (cuz polling wakes up the drive typically) | 06:59 |
| Photocopy | sigh... | 06:59 |
| Photocopy | okay | 06:59 |
| ^Phantom^ | ActionParsnip, I'm not sure | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: yes, it should, but it isn't or the user wouldn't be here..... | 07:00 |
| ^Phantom^ | The drive is doing something, I know that much, I can see the light blinking. | 07:00 |
| erikaflusa | hey i found the permission | 07:00 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: then find out why udisks isn't working, or check why the mounts fail | 07:00 |
| erikaflusa | tab | 07:00 |
| Photocopy | Does anyone know why suddenly over the space of a few days videos would go from displaying fine to displaying with green staticy looking horizontal patterns and crap over the video outputs? | 07:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ^Phantom^: try: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab add this line: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto, 0 0 | 07:00 |
| erikaflusa | on the exe file | 07:00 |
| ^Phantom^ | Accelerator, okay | 07:00 |
| ohsix | Photocopy: what software did you update & did you install anything from source? | 07:00 |
| erikaflusa | what do i need to change permission to so wine can open it | 07:01 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: that won't fix it :[ | 07:01 |
| Photocopy | ohsix; installed nothing from source and I don't know what I may have updated. Presumably not anything | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ^Phantom^: then run: sudo mkdir /media/floppy0 | 07:01 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: can you post the output of dmesg and udisks --dump to a pastebin first | 07:01 |
| Photocopy | ohsix; unless it might be something that updated in my update manager; I never look at it, i just let it install whatever it prompts me for | 07:01 |
| ^Phantom^ | ohsix, sure | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: sure it will, the disk will be inserted and the system will see an entry in fstab, and use it | 07:01 |
| erikaflusa | what do i need to change on permissions tab | 07:01 |
| erikaflusa | to run the exe file | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: so long as s/he remember to properly unmount / eject the floppy like you are supposed to, no issues | 07:02 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: it doesn't need an fstab entry, it'll mount it in /media like any other volume | 07:02 |
| ohsix | yes, you need to manuall ymount it, which is dumb | 07:02 |
| erikaflusa | can sopme one help me | 07:02 |
| soreau | Is there a way to minimize a window with xdotool? | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | erikaflusa: chmod +x filename.exe | 07:02 |
| bazhang | erikaflusa, #winehq after checking the appdb | 07:03 |
| erikaflusa | how do i run chmod | 07:03 |
| ^Phantom^ | ohsix, the floppy drive shows up, I can say that much | 07:03 |
| ActionParsnip | erikaflusa: in a terminal | 07:03 |
| Photocopy | okay well goddamnit | 07:03 |
| ^Phantom^ | ohsix, i think I might know why it's not mounting: I'm using a USB extender cord | 07:03 |
| ^Phantom^ | I'll try plugging it in directly hang on | 07:03 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: good; need to find out why udisks isn't doing its thing for it | 07:03 |
| Photocopy | now I messed up... Gotta reboot cause I can't do anything | 07:03 |
| ^Phantom^ | I found a couple of my old floppies and the first thing that came to mind: Gotta see if ubuntu supports floppy drives, lol | 07:04 |
| erikaflusa | says command not found | 07:04 |
| Photocopy | okay | 07:04 |
| Photocopy | nevermind i'm still alright | 07:04 |
| Chipzzz | erikaflusa: sudo chmod +x filename.exe | 07:05 |
| ohsix | Photocopy: you could try turning compiz off just to rule it out | 07:05 |
| Photocopy | i tried that | 07:05 |
| Photocopy | apparently i did it wrong | 07:05 |
| ohsix | hit alt+f2 type metacity --replace to temporarily switch it off | 07:05 |
| Photocopy | all my window borders disappeared and i was completely unable to do anything | 07:05 |
| KSHawkEye | Hello, im trying to compile a program. The program needs another program that i chose to not install to /local but instead to a prefix. How can i get the main program to find the needed other program to compile? | 07:05 |
| Photocopy | okay ohsix, done | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | erikaflusa: you need to change the filename with the full path and filename (case sensitive) to the file you want | 07:06 |
| Photocopy | still didnt help | 07:06 |
| Photocopy | i can confirm this is an ati adapter | 07:06 |
| moustiK_ | type alt +f2 then run metacity --replace | 07:06 |
| erikaflusa | sudo chmod | 07:06 |
| ohsix | Photocopy: i'm not too familiar with gotchas on that order with ati devices | 07:06 |
| erikaflusa | missing operand | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | erikaflusa: no, i never said sudo to you, did I? | 07:07 |
| moustiK_ | or in a terminal to get windows decorations back | 07:07 |
| ohsix | Photocopy: is this after restarting when you discovered the problem? | 07:07 |
| Photocopy | goddamnit | 07:07 |
| Photocopy | this needs to work | 07:07 |
| Photocopy | after restarting what? | 07:07 |
| ohsix | the computer | 07:07 |
| bazhang | Photocopy, watch the language | 07:07 |
| Photocopy | i didn't do it | 07:07 |
| Photocopy | when i said that i was going to restart it's cause i killed compiz without starting up metacity lol | 07:07 |
| ActionParsnip | erikaflusa: sudo chmod is both meaningless and not what I told you | 07:07 |
| soreau | Photocopy: Does this show up in a screenhot? | 07:07 |
| ^Phantom^ | ohsix, no luck plugged directly | 07:07 |
| soreau | Photocopy: screeshot* | 07:07 |
| Photocopy | it might, soreau | 07:07 |
| Photocopy | let me try | 07:07 |
| ohsix | Photocopy: i know, but i mean; have you restarted the computer since the problem started | 07:08 |
| soreau | Photocopy: screenshot* | 07:08 |
| Photocopy | yeah it shows up | 07:08 |
| ^Phantom^ | Maybe the disks are bad? | 07:08 |
| erikaflusa | i typed chmod | 07:08 |
| ^Phantom^ | the drive shows up under computer | 07:08 |
| erikaflusa | in terminal | 07:08 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: can you post that information? | 07:08 |
| soreau | Photocopy: Can you post it to speedyshare or picpaste.com? | 07:08 |
| ActionParsnip | erikaflusa: for EXAAMPLE, if the file is in ~/progs and is called go.exe, the command would be: chmod +x ~/progs/go.exe | 07:08 |
| Photocopy | will do | 07:08 |
| ^Phantom^ | Yeah, hangon | 07:08 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: that could be something, if the inner track is damaged in any way on a floppy they're rendered completely unusable, and that happens pretty often | 07:08 |

| soreau | Photocopy: Oh wow.. | 07:10 |
| ohsix | Photocopy: ooooh that's unlucky, i think | 07:10 |
| ^Phantom^ | Hey, since it's a usb drive, maybe I need to reboot for it to work? | 07:10 |
| soreau | Photocopy: I have the exact same problem but I thought it was only one video | 07:10 |
| Photocopy | in what sense | 07:10 |
| ActionParsnip | erikaflusa: ok so the command would be: chmod +x /tmp/p.exe | 07:10 |
| soreau | lets see.. | 07:10 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: nah that shouldn't matter, hotplug works | 07:10 |

| Photocopy | ohsix, soreau; what exactly? | 07:11 |
| Photocopy | soreau; for me its any video, apparently, including ones that i know worked before | 07:11 |
| ^Phantom^ | (sorry, ohsix, i have a lot of drives) | 07:12 |
| erikaflusa | ya | 07:12 |
| erikaflusa | i got no error | 07:12 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: and dmesg? (that's the important one) | 07:12 |
| MintBerryCrunch | Phantom: Comcast's worst day beats Armstrong's best day :( | 07:12 |
| Photocopy | soreau; presumably you have no solution then? | 07:12 |
| soreau | Photocopy: So now we have to figure out if its a driver bug or an encoding issue with mplayer | 07:13 |
| erikaflusa | hey can u do me favor | 07:13 |
| MintBerryCrunch | Armstrong's commercials talk about their community programming, not one thing about their actual internet sped | 07:13 |
| Photocopy | soreau: how are we going to do this | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | erikaflusa: sup? | 07:13 |
| soreau | Photocopy: What does lspci|grep VGA say for your card? | 07:13 |
| MintBerryCrunch | *speed | 07:13 |
| recognosco | Photocopy: tried playing that with another player? | 07:13 |

| erikaflusa | to me | 07:13 |
| erikaflusa | in a pm | 07:14 |
| Photocopy | soreau; doesnt work in banshee, totem, vlc, | 07:14 |
| ohsix | it's something with the textured video port | 07:14 |
| soreau | Photocopy: Hm. So possible driver issue. What is the lspci line for your card? | 07:14 |
| Photocopy | soreau: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] | 07:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Photocopy: do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed as well as w32codecs from medibuntu | 07:14 |
| ^Phantom^ | It seems to not want to mount, just like my SD reader, ohsix | 07:14 |
| Photocopy | soreau; why would there be a driver issue now and not monday? | 07:14 |
| Photocopy | yes, ActionParsnip; this has all worked before, as stated | 07:15 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: you don't need any w32codecs for mp4 in avi to work D: | 07:15 |
| soreau | Photocopy: Are you using xorg-edgers repo by chance? | 07:15 |
| ohsix | if w32codecs is installed it could actually be the problem | 07:15 |
| ohsix | but not with vlc | 07:15 |
| ohsix | or totem | 07:15 |
| Photocopy | soreau; i'm not. Someone tried to get me to use that for something else the other day and i also declined | 07:15 |
| recognosco | Photocopy: if vlc is causing trouble, most like driver | 07:15 |
| ^Phantom^ | The drive is there under Computer, just can't open it. <_< | 07:15 |
| recognosco | likely* | 07:16 |
| ohsix | Photocopy: it might let you sidestep the problem | 07:16 |
| Darkenvy | I need to grab a file (pulling) from my server using SSH. How can I do so? | 07:16 |
| Photocopy | soreau; if it was working before and isn't now, why would it be the driver? i didn't change the driver between then and now | 07:16 |
| Chipzzz | Photocopy: which drivers are you using? | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: its good to have the whole lot though | 07:16 |
| ohsix | Darkenvy: scp server:file . | 07:16 |
| Photocopy | Chipzzz; whatever ubuntu assigned it when I installed. | 07:16 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: not really; gstreamer doesn't use them, and vlc is self contained | 07:16 |
| Photocopy | Chipzzz: never manually changed any drivers for anything on this machine | 07:16 |
| Darkenvy | scp is an FTP protocol isnt it? and only used to push | 07:16 |
| soreau | Photocopy: Ok so its likely some encoding issue.. let me try a few things | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Photocopy: try gnome-mplayer :) | 07:16 |
| webvictim | no Darkenvy | 07:17 |
| ohsix | Darkenvy: scp is scp, and the source and destination can be local files or remote machines | 07:17 |
| Darkenvy | Ive pushed wiht it before, how to pull? | 07:17 |
| recognosco | Darkenvy: no. scp is secure copy. | 07:17 |
| Chipzzz | Photocopy: you might have better luck with the proprietary drivers... I hear they're pretty good | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkenvy: yes, its bi-directional | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ah | 07:17 |
| webvictim | reverse the arguments | 07:17 |
| soreau | Photocopy: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA ? | 07:17 |
| Photocopy | ActionParsnip: wait, is that the movie player that is default in 10.10? | 07:17 |
| Darkenvy | oooh nice | 07:17 |

| Darkenvy | thanks guys! This is why I love IRC. 30 minutes on google vs 30 seconds :P | 07:17 |
| ^Phantom^ | I'll copy out the contents of these floppies with my laptop, ActionParsnip and ohsix. It reads on there. | 07:17 |
| Photocopy | ActionParsnip: okay for a minute i thought i might have confused them | 07:17 |
| ^Phantom^ | Thank you for the help, though | 07:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Photocopy: mplayer is the daddy of daddies | 07:18 |
| webvictim | you could've done it in 10 with "man scp" ;) | 07:18 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: that usb drive could be out of whack too D: floppies are really a pain in the ass | 07:18 |
| Photocopy | urg | 07:18 |
| soreau | Photocopy: Ah ok. Well I bet we arent the only one with this issue and a bug report should surface soon if someone hasnt already reported it | 07:18 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: dmesg has kernel messages, and probably information about the errors trying to read the disk | 07:18 |
| Photocopy | i just completely fail to comprehend why something like this happens between one day and the next with no change to any drivers or anything like that | 07:19 |
| Photocopy | it's completely beyond explanation | 07:19 |
| ^Phantom^ | ohsix, ah | 07:19 |
| Photocopy | there's no good reason for it as far as i understand | 07:19 |
| recognosco | Photocopy: i will have to agree. beyond explanation without changes. | 07:19 |
| soreau | Photocopy: Sometimes there are too many developers who dont test their code fully before committing it | 07:19 |
| hilarie | Any Idea's though, the built in thingy for ubuntu 10.10 only gives me 25% 50% and 100% power jumps, | 07:19 |
| Photocopy | recognosco: every single computer problem i have ever had in my life has been in that nature. completely sudden and without being triggered by an identifiable change | 07:20 |
| Photocopy | anyway | 07:20 |
| ohsix | it's always the stuff you forget | 07:20 |
| Photocopy | i found a site that will stream it for me which doesn't have the same problem | 07:20 |
| ^Phantom^ | Thank you again for the time though, ActionParsnip and ohsix :D | 07:20 |
| Photocopy | the episode is priority so im going to watch that now... | 07:21 |
| recognosco | Photocopy: is it on specific type of video file or all? | 07:21 |
| Photocopy | recognosco; i'm not sure. I'll get back to you on that. I'd have to get up and get my external drive to test a different filetype and stuff | 07:22 |
| ohsix | Photocopy: xvinfo will dump info about the video port, it could be a bug with only one format, and working one day and not the next could be from an unrelated update | 07:22 |
| Photocopy | and now that i've watched a minute and a half of this i cant stop | 07:22 |

| MACscr|lappy | ok, so i have ubuntu 10.10 running off a live cd (usb actually) and i need to resize my osx partition, which is running hfs+. Anyone ever tried doing that? gparted says i need to install hfsprogs, but apt doesnt seem to be finding it | 07:36 |

| timewriter | whats the difference between ubuntu 10 and debian 6 ? | 07:44 |
| MACscr|lappy | shoot, seems installing hfsprogs didnt make a difference to gparted. It still recommends installing it | 07:44 |

| bazhang | akshatj, use gparted to get rid of the partitions | 07:48 |
| akshatj | bazhang: just that? | 07:48 |
| soreau | akshatj: sure, and you can resize your other partitions to fill the space | 07:48 |

| sacarlson | Shadowex3: I've never tried the ssh in a launcher but seems it should work, did you select open in term when you create the launcher in the control panel? | 07:53 |
| bazhang | marco_, with xrandr ? | 07:54 |
| era878 | How can I make an ubuntu cluster? | 07:54 |
| marco_ | bazhang, problem is that with dual screen the z-order of windows and shadows is inverted. So I have shadows over windows and focused windows UNDER unfocused ones | 07:54 |
| era878 | ' | 07:54 |
| marco_ | my video card is GM965 | 07:54 |
| Shadowex3 | sacarlson: I've tried both, I have difficulty getting the open in term one to do ANYTHING | 07:54 |
| Ve2 | Hmm, PasswordAuthentication option is set to no but I can still ssh in with a password. :/ | 07:55 |
| Shadowex3 | I've entered the command as ssh -ND 9999 -l xxx@yyy | 07:55 |
| Shadowex3 | i get a terminal flashing open and it just dissapears | 07:55 |
| manuscle | i have used disk manager to format one of my disk in ext4 but fdisk -l tell me that there is no partition table on it! | 07:55 |
| sacarlson | Shadowex3: oh maybe the problem is it needs a password? you can setup so that ssh won't ask for a password if you use keys | 07:55 |
| Shadowex3 | Oh I know it needs a password | 07:55 |
| Shadowex3 | i was expecting to have a shortcut that opens a terminal and runs the command for me so I can just input the password and be done with it | 07:56 |
| gaelfx | manuscle: if you have a liveusb or livecd, you should probably use gparted | 07:56 |
| marco_ | sacarlson, not so simple, had problem with passwordless ssh login too. | 07:56 |
| marco_ | anyone on my video driver prob? | 07:56 |
| sacarlson | marco_: problem to setup passworless or to setup as Shadowex3 is trying to do? | 07:57 |
| Shadowex3 | I've actually had the most luck using: gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=StayOpen -x bash -l -c "ssh -ND 999 -l" | 07:57 |
| manuscle | gaelfx, Yet I can still write to disk | 07:57 |
| manuscle | i believed that a disk with no partition table could not be writeable | 07:58 |
| amit | if in a group there are more than one user say v1,v2 and if a user say l from another group want to acess all the members of the that group means l1,l2 how should he do within one line command | 07:58 |
| sacarlson | Shadowex3: I'm not sure what the -ND 999 thing does | 07:58 |
| moustiK_ | Hi , I want to chroot a Gui app with export DISPLAY=:0.0 but it does not work only Xnest and Xephr works , does anyone have a solution of chrooting a gui app ? | 07:58 |
| Shadowex3 | Sacarlson it's a SOCK5 thing | 07:58 |
| gaelfx | manuscle: well, it can be written, but reading it afterwards is a bit troublesome ;) | 07:58 |
| amit | sorry not li and l2 vi and v2 | 07:58 |
| amit | ????///// | 07:59 |
| manuscle | gaelfx, i never had a problem, i have formatted the disk few month ago, i think i am lucky! | 08:00 |
| hilarie | How do I take ownership back from root? | 08:00 |
| MACscr|lappy | whats the fastest way for me to image a partition? dd? im not worried about size, so i dont want compression | 08:00 |
| gaelfx | manuscle: how do you know it doesn't have a partition table? | 08:01 |
| hilarie | I have home/Rawr/bin/TurionPowerControl (I compiled it from sudo) and now its owned by root | 08:01 |
| hilarie | And then hilarie@ebilKitty:~/Rawr/bin$ sudo TurionPowerControl sudo: TurionPowerControl: command not found | 08:01 |
| manuscle | gaelfx, i discovered the problem because yesterday i created a new raid5, and disk manager is ...... what do you say for ... crap? | 08:01 |
| era878 | How can I setup an ubuntu cluster | 08:01 |
| sacarlson | Shadowex3: from looking breafly at man ssh -D [bind_address:]port seems only a sudo user can do this? | 08:01 |
| amit | if a user v1 of one group want to acess the other group user more than one say l1 and l2 how should he do within one command means without changing mode for l1 and l2 seperately | 08:02 |
| Shadowex3 | It doesn't ask me for root when I do it in a standard terminal window, it just asks me for the SSH login password for my SSH server | 08:02 |
| manuscle | gaelfx, fdisl -l tell me that is no partition table on the disk as well on the raid5 | 08:02 |
| sacarlson | Shadowex3: oh privliged ports I guess 9999 wouldn't be one of those | 08:02 |
| Shadowex3 | no it's just localhost iirc | 08:03 |
| marco_ | Need help, problem is that with dual screen the z-order of windows and shadows is inverted. So I have shadows over windows and focused windows UNDER unfocused ones. How do I reset video driver? | 08:03 |
| Shadowex3 | See sacarlson i'm just copying lifehacker's secure browsing through a personal SSH server and Sock5 connection, that part all works perfectly. | 08:03 |
| Shadowex3 | the only problem i'm having is creating a working desktop shortcut to automate the tedium of typing out the command | 08:03 |
| hilarie | Root owns something of mine, HALP :) | 08:04 |
| sacarlson | Shadowex3: ok it works but you can't find a simple way to start it up without all that typeing? | 08:04 |
| sss | Is it possible to use different languages for different accounts? | 08:05 |
| manuscle | gaelfx, when i created the raid5 with disk manager, my disk was new, and disk manager created a raid | 08:05 |
| timewriter | i might admit , ubuntu didnt disapoint me yet | 08:05 |
| iflema | hilarie: ./configure and make as normal user, but sudo make install. go again...... | 08:05 |
| timewriter | and im using it for 1 week | 08:05 |
| manuscle | gaelfx, after i tried to create a partition but i had error message | 08:06 |
| amit | if a user v1 of one group want to acess the other group user more than one say l1 and l2 how should he do within one command means without changing mode for l1 and l2 seperately | 08:06 |
| MACscr|lappy | dd is going to be awefully slow though since there is only 10gb of space used on the 30gb partition =/ | 08:06 |
| Shadowex3 | sacarlson: exactly, my sock5 setup and SSH server all work fine. Doing it by hand works great. I'm just trying to automate a bit of this. | 08:06 |
| manuscle | i discovered that before creating raid i had to format the 3 disk | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | amit: add it to the groups as required, surely | 08:06 |
| MACscr|lappy | manuscle: raid1 is only two disks | 08:07 |
| hilarie | iflema so sudo make install sh Installer.sh? | 08:07 |
| iflema | hilarie: there should be an unistall option to remove the first attemp | 08:07 |

| osmosis_paul | because if i execute manually works | 08:08 |
| hilarie | More accrurately it should be named compile.sh lol | 08:08 |
| amit | actionparsnip:my mean to say that chmod 750 /home/l1 chmod 750 /home/l2 can we write these both 2 command as a single one | 08:08 |
| manuscle | I know raid 1 is two disk! why tell you that ?! | 08:09 |
| Shadowex3 | sacarlson I got it, one of the guys in #bash noticed that I should use either xxx@yyy OR -l username, I'd combined two seperate SSH commands since it's 3am | 08:09 |
| manuscle | i am using raid 5 with 3 disk! | 08:09 |
| manuscle | the probleme is not here | 08:09 |
| sss | Is it possible to remote control Windows from Ubuntu and vice versa? | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | amit: if you make a new group and add both users to it, then change the group ownership of the folder, both users will have access | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sss: VNC will work both ways | 08:10 |
| iflema | hilarie: im not sure about.... try without sudo?????? | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sss: there are often more graceful metods though | 08:10 |
| sss | ActionParnsip, what is VNC? | 08:10 |
| amit | ActionParsnip: body i want to acess these l1 and l2 from other user from other group as l2 and l2 are in same group | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | sss: remote control software for the full desktop, but depending on th activities you intend there may be sleeker options | 08:11 |
| sss | ActionParnsip. ok, thanks | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | amit: then if you allow the group read access, it will be able to read the other users data | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | sss: for example, torrent clients often have web interfaces | 08:12 |
| Shadowex3 | sss: Not only is it perfectly possible I do it too, I've got a win7 box and an ubuntu laptop. I'm setting it up to control both from each other. | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | sss: and you can manage updates via command line in SSH etc | 08:13 |
| amit | ActionParnsip: i want the answer how can we change permisson of both l1 and l2 within a command not changing for l1 and l2 sepaeratively how to do it consecutively | 08:13 |

| timewriter | if you delete these folders , gnome will restore to initial settings | 08:28 |
| timewriter | dont forget .gnome2_private too | 08:28 |
| silare | timewriter: Ahh, got it. | 08:28 |
| chachin | can anyone pm me and help me instal ubuntu? | 08:29 |
| jadespider | weird google earth wont load at all for me | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | AegisX: have you shared the folder in Windows? | 08:29 |
| alkisg | jadespider: run it from the console, to see any error messages | 08:29 |
| jadespider | k | 08:29 |
| AegisX | ActionParsnip: Yep, I have. (I love your nick, btw) | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | AegisX: thanks (its a harry hill joke ;)) | 08:29 |
| bazhang | chachin, ask here | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | AegisX: what version of windows are you connecting to? | 08:30 |
| AegisX | ActionParsnip: Windows 7 | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | AegisX: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/ | 08:30 |
| silare | timewriter: Just did that... It reset everything, but my panel still hasn't fixed itself. | 08:30 |
| silare | All applets crash on startup. | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | AegisX: read that, it has pointer, you can then use the usual network icon in nautilus. Windows 7 is annoying and has a 'revised' samba with new authentication nonesense in it as well as some other apps causing grief | 08:31 |
| chachin | what are "sda1(nfts), sda5(unknown), sda6(linux), and sda2(ntfs) ??? | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | chachin: partitions | 08:31 |
| chachin | oh | 08:31 |
| varundesai_ | Hi Friends | 08:31 |
| timewriter | silare, you deleted .gnome2_private too ? | 08:31 |
| silare | yep. | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | chachin: all on the same drive, sda | 08:31 |
| AegisX | ActionParsnip: Thanks, reading it now. Yeah, I've tried a variety of methods and a couple of times I've been asked to log in... and I have no idea with what credentials I should be logging in. | 08:31 |
| jadespider | unknown ID? | 08:32 |
| timewriter | weird | 08:32 |
| jadespider | what sense does that make? | 08:32 |
| chachin | im trying to install ubuntu and win7 is already installed. but i wanna delete linux mint. cus i mess it up.. and now i want ubuntu.. | 08:32 |
| silare | timewriter: Yeah... Is there a way for it to leave diagnostics in Terminal explaining why it crashed? | 08:32 |
| Poss | panic panic! my kernel is panicing! | 08:32 |
| milokliz | how can i ensure that no network managers are controlling the card | 08:32 |
| Graet| | interesting, just tried on fresh install, no problems accessing windows 7 share | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | chachin: delete the windows mint partitions and you can install to the free space | 08:33 |
| eldurian | l | 08:33 |
| timewriter | silare, im not sure , but i had similar problems with my panels and deleting these folders fixed it | 08:33 |
| timewriter | did you relogged ? | 08:33 |
| chachin | should I delete "sda6(linux-swap)? | 08:33 |
| silare | timewriter: Yeah, just logged back in. o.o | 08:33 |
| jadespider | time to go chat arachnids :) take care | 08:33 |

| chachin | there's one called "sda(unknown) and its big 289.6GB :( | 08:34 |

| Poss | ok so im at my uncle's house, and i noticed that their copy of ubuntu was pretty old and needed a lot of updating | 08:34 |
| bazhang | costas, stop that | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | chachin: i would, then let the ubuntu installer do its thing | 08:35 |
| Poss | he was on karmic koala | 08:35 |
| milokliz | how can i ensure that no network managers are controlling the card | 08:35 |
| chachin | ok | 08:35 |
| Poss | since support is ended for karmic I hit upgrade to lynx, since its an LTS | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | chachin: big unknown sda isn't good. did you by any chance write a new partition table? :( | 08:35 |

| timewriter | this might be a bit of a problem | 08:36 |
| Poss | three hours pass as its downloading and upgrading, then I come back and the screen is just saying "unsupported input", so i though "hmm" I'll reboot and see whats going on here | 08:36 |
| chachin | i have a 12.3GB for linux... but when i did that i chose 300Gb maybe i didnt do it right :S | 08:36 |
| timewriter | i dont know , install KDE , remove GNome | 08:36 |
| timewriter | then reinstall gnome | 08:36 |
| Poss | but on a straight reboot i just get too the ubuntu logo on a black screen, nothing else | 08:36 |
| timewriter | and remove kde | 08:36 |
| timewriter | :) | 08:36 |
| Poss | so then I restarted in recovery mode | 08:37 |
| g_prakash | Any body char * (*get_temp_buffer)( size_t n ); meaning? | 08:37 |
| amit | how to know in which shell i am through command | 08:37 |
| Poss | last thing that happens is that app armor profiles fail to load and then run-init: /sbin/init: I/O error | 08:37 |
| Poss | followed by kernel panic | 08:38 |
| timewriter | I/O error ? | 08:38 |
| silare | timewriter: lol I'll look into it. THanks though for your help. | 08:38 |
| Poss | at which point I did as told and paniced | 08:38 |
| thebat | icr.neko-network.net | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | g_prakash: i'd ask in a programming channel | 08:38 |
| timewriter | silare, i didnt helped you at all :) | 08:38 |
| timewriter | i wish i would | 08:38 |
| timewriter | but youre welcome | 08:38 |
| silare | timewriter: Well, ya' tried. :P | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | chachin: as log as you haven't deleted the partitions you want | 08:38 |
| amit | wheher i m using /bin/bash or /bin/sh how to check this through command? | 08:38 |
| Poss | so now I'm sitting here with my uncle and auntwanting to use the computer i just screwed by hitting update | 08:39 |
| timewriter | silare, | 08:39 |
| ohsix | g_prakash: get_temp_pointer is can hold a pointer to a function that returns char * and takes size_t n as a parameter | 08:39 |
| timewriter | you can try delete the panel | 08:39 |
| timewriter | then create it again | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Poss: it'll be quick :) | 08:39 |
| timewriter | maybe it will work | 08:39 |
| Poss | actionparsnip | 08:39 |
| Poss | suicide you mean? | 08:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Poss: no, the updates | 08:39 |
| Poss | the updates are finished | 08:40 |
| silare | timewriter: Tried that too. :[ Seems like it didn't work... | 08:40 |
| Poss | but the computer wont start | 08:40 |
| Poss | its stuck at a kernel panic | 08:40 |
| Poss | only I have no idea what or who this cornel panic is and why he has ruined the computer | 08:40 |
| milokliz | anyone how can i ensure that no network managers are controlling the card | 08:41 |
| ohsix | g_prakash: install cutils, theres a tool in it called cdecl; it will decode those for you ;] | 08:41 |
| silare | Poss: Kernel Panic = UNIX-based 'equivalent' of a BSoD | 08:41 |
| Poss | oh dear, that is in no way calming me down | 08:41 |
| silare | Poss: :/ Sowwie. | 08:42 |
| silare | But it's what it is. x_x; Scary lil' thing, that kernel panic. | 08:42 |
| Poss | so there is nothing I can do? | 08:42 |
| ohsix | in particular (it doesn't know of size_t so i changed it to an int: declare get_temp_buffer as pointer to function that expects (n as int) returning pointer to char; | 08:42 |
| chachin | f this im buying a new 2TB HDD if i fail at installing ubuntu the waiy I wanted :( | 08:42 |
| silare | Poss: Not sure... How'd the kernel panicking come to be? | 08:43 |

| Poss | I left it downloading for a bit, came back and it was dead | 08:43 |
| diemos | it's pretty. | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Poss: reboot, hold shift and select an older kernel | 08:43 |
| chachin | diemos: or make a clock ^_^ | 08:44 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: re: mounted & lifetimes, no; drives will go to sleep regardless of whether they're mounted as long as they're not being read from or written to; unmounting might keep that from happening ;] | 08:44 |
| Pete_ | Does any one no how install xlink kai on this ubuntu | 08:44 |
| chachin | why does unubtu have a win vista partition? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | chachin: get a sharp implement, you can engrave them pretty well | 08:44 |
| ^Phantom^ | ohsix, ah okay, cause i always unmount when I'm done using them | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | chachin: it doesn't. If you use wubi you will have access to the host from /host | 08:45 |
| chachin | oh | 08:45 |
| silare | Poss: Using what? | 08:45 |
| chachin | im noob at this crap about dual booting | 08:45 |
| titanium | hello folks sorry im late | 08:46 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: lifetime is really only with it being used; and still MTBF is very high for modern stuff, stuff failing from wear vs. freak occurence is rare | 08:46 |
| ^Phantom^ | MTBF? What is that? | 08:46 |
| ohsix | mean time between failures | 08:46 |

| AegisX | ActionParsnip: Still can't connect to the share, mate :( | 08:47 |
| chachin | its awsome specially dd-wrt | 08:47 |
| ohsix | ^Phantom^: there was some hubub about head unloading in laptop drives some time ago; it really can make hay with ridiculously cheap drives like the one i had in my laptop before i replaced it :O | 08:47 |
| AegisX | ActionParsnip: I think I'm doing something wrong with the actual process | 08:47 |
| ^Phantom^ | ah | 08:48 |
| Poss | its moving too fast to read, but i think its saying its running into some kind of memory fault | 08:48 |

| ActionParsnip | ale_: what is the output of: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep -i firef use http://pastie.org to host the output. Thanks | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | AegisX: ok, is it configured to allow access to the share? | 08:54 |
| AegisX | ActionParsnip: I'm not sure; I'll take a look at the control panel | 08:54 |
| FightingNavyman | ale_: look for "about firefox" ? | 08:54 |
| Poss | kernel panic.. find_new_reaper... forget_original_parent.. those are things are an operating system just is never meant to say | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Poss: try booting to liveCD and fsck the partition as well as test your ram | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | AegisX: you could disable it to test ;) | 08:54 |
| Poss | I don't have a livecd | 08:54 |
| ale_ | ActionParsnip: well, linux IS running in 64bit | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Poss: then test ram from grub | 08:55 |
| Poss | kk | 08:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ale_: then the firefox will be 64bit too | 08:55 |
| titanium | heres some computer programming profanity- goto L | 08:55 |

| somethinginteres | I'm wondering why when people want their TV card to work with Ubuntu they generally need to go the Linux TV wiki and create a .conf file with specific values to get the card to work. Why does it not get automatically recognised as with other hardware (in a significant number of varying cases) | 08:58 |
| phrozen | -pl | 08:58 |
| VxQe | Right, ssh is working that is not the issue. The problem I am having is that I have root login disabled in ssh_config and also passwordauthentication disabled but can still login as root with a password. | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | AegisX: if you press ALT+F2 and run: smb://hostname/sharename does it connect (change hostname to the name of the PC, and share name to the name of the share you created) | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | VxQe: did you restart the sshd service after editting the config? | 08:59 |
| titanium | created tennis versus calculator | 08:59 |
| VxQe | Yep. | 08:59 |

| ActionParsnip | titanium: thats not ubuntu related, can you please respect the channel rules | 09:00 |

| titanium | what subject is being discussed here | 09:00 |
| AegisX | ActionParsnip: When I connect to the box using Nautilus, I only see a folder called "print$" | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | titanium: ubuntu support ONLY | 09:01 |

| iszak | What's the repercussions of doing sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches every five minutes? | 09:12 |
| ale_ | anyone? | 09:13 |
| iszak | ale_, what was your q? | 09:13 |
| Oli`` | Anybody know if there's a PPA for the beta nvidia drivers? Like a beta version of the X-Swat PPA | 09:13 |
| Petfrogg | ale_ just arrived - restate your q | 09:13 |
| Poss | well aparently the "hard drive failure immenent" message had been happening for over 12 months, so they didn't think it was a problem | 09:13 |
| Petfrogg | Poss, restate you q | 09:13 |
| Poss | and now my uncle is ranting about open source software being shit because you need to update it.. | 09:14 |
| ale_ | I would like to install Java-JRE and the firefox plug-in in Ubuntu 10.04. Should I just install it from synaptic or should I manually install it? I've heard there is a 64bit version, which I would like to use.. | 09:14 |
| Poss | "i still have a win 95 box in the workshop which works fine!" | 09:14 |
| iszak | Poss, rm -fr /bin | 09:14 |
| Petfrogg | Poss: remove autoupdate and dont give him root password | 09:14 |
| iszak | i would keep updates, just make it silent somehow. | 09:14 |
| iszak | but put him on a LTS. | 09:14 |
| Petfrogg | ale_ go for the ubuntu version | 09:14 |
| Poss | petfrogg yeah the problem is that I, in my infinite wisdom ran update to 10.04 and its killed the computer entirely | 09:15 |
| ale_ | Petfrogg: but I understood is 32bit | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Oli``: these guys have the 270 driver: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 09:15 |
| Petfrogg | ale_, havent tried it but my recomendation would be to go for the repo stuff first - ant then we can debug it | 09:15 |
| Poss | so I gues the only solution is to spend the next two days downloading a live cd and then attempting to save all their business data :/ | 09:16 |
| Petfrogg | Poss: it killed the harddrive? | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Poss: they don't have a backup? | 09:16 |
| ale_ | ok, thanks for your help | 09:16 |
| Petfrogg | Poss: just go out and get them a new harddrive | 09:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Poss: like, seriously!? | 09:16 |
| Petfrogg | install the new operating system and then get slap the old disk in and image it straight away | 09:17 |
| Poss | the backup is on a second harddrive in the same computer | 09:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Poss: thats fine, only the system drive is dying | 09:17 |
| Petfrogg | Poss, ActionParsnip: i agree with A | 09:17 |
| Poss | so then yeah, wait a couple of days for he live cd to download, then install to the working disk then copy the data scross? | 09:18 |
| Oli`` | ActionParsnip: it's an old version - I need the very latest for GTX580 support | 09:18 |
| MACscr-mobile | With livecd, the proprietary wireless firmware was available for my lappy, but not after full install. Wth? Can I get the drivers from the USB install? | 09:18 |
| thauriswulfa | where can i get games for ubuntu | 09:18 |
| Petfrogg | MACscr-mobile, there is a box for checking that you do allow 3rd party softeware not under opensource licens | 09:18 |
| Poss | hi thauriswulfa, playdeb.net is pretty good :) | 09:19 |
| Petfrogg | MACscr-mobile, check it and install what you need | 09:19 |
| Poss | i was sure I had left this horrid soul burning angst behind when I left windoze :/ | 09:19 |
| Poss | I really need to stop doing tech support | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Oli``: I just went to nvidia.com and said I had your video chip under Linux and it suggested the 260 driver | 09:19 |
| MACscr-mobile | Petfrogg: Where? | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Oli``: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/linux-display-ia32-260.19.36-driver-uk.html expand the "supported products" section | 09:20 |
| Petfrogg | Poss: make sure the autoupdate is set to off, sshd is on and you dont give him the root password | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Oli``: so you don't NEED it at all | 09:20 |
| Poss | all those things were already the case petgrogg, it was me that hit update | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Poss: btw your OS isn't to blame if the hardware physically dies | 09:22 |
| Petfrogg | MACscr-mobile, go into "Update Manager" and under the button "Settings.." go through that | 09:22 |
| Poss | yeah, but i am still to blame if I hit update and it kills the computer :P | 09:22 |
| MACscr-mobile | ? | 09:23 |
| Poss | well thanks guys | 09:23 |
| Poss | at least I know what happened now :) | 09:23 |
| AegisX | ActionParsnip: I've figured it out, strangely. | 09:23 |
| AegisX | ActionParsnip: Alt + F2, then smb://<windows box IP> | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | AegisX: sweet!!! | 09:24 |
| Petfrogg | MACscr-mobile, "System->Administration->Update Manager" and then under "Settings.." on 10.10 | 09:24 |
| boogzter | Poss: You could always try the HDD/freezer trick and maybe buy enough time to snag an image. (if it's unbootable) | 09:24 |
| MACscr-mobile | I have no internet on the laptop without the wireless. So how can I use the update manager | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Poss: I guess, i will work the drive some | 09:24 |
| AegisX | ActionParsnip: I have no idea why it didn't work any other way, but there you go :p | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | AegisX: its working so who cares :) | 09:24 |
| Poss | oh actually, while I'm here, I have another question for myself, not so dire | 09:24 |
| wcg | dsdsds | 09:25 |
| AegisX | ActionParsnip: Yep. Workarounds are way better than no workarounds. But thanks again; your Alt+F2 trick worked well :) | 09:25 |
| wcg | HI | 09:25 |
| Poss | I'm pretty sure when i installed my version of 10.10 there was a little icon up the top right that launched empathy, only I did something at some point and now it only works from the menu. is ther esome way to get it back? | 09:26 |
| Poss | and maybe a volume icon too? :) | 09:26 |
| wcg | 这个聊天工具好简单呀 | 09:26 |

| StepNjump | Hi guys, maybe someone could help me. I have a netbook here and everytime my power source interrupts, the system logs me off so I need to log back in. The problem is my power connector became loose with time. Any suggestion so that when it runs out of power, ubuntu won't everytime log me off? | 09:30 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar: You can name it anything you want. It's a bash script, so you need to give it execute permissions then run "/path/to/script" in a terminal to run it. | 09:31 |
| StepNjump | ok guys, good night | 09:32 |
| yourwhiteshadow | StepNjump: this is a serious problem, there really isn't a software solution | 09:32 |
| boogzter | StepNjump: Try wrapping the power cord around the netbook to create a slight but consistent tention, so the power wont be interrupted when the cord gets moved, etc. | 09:32 |
| Poss | that was a good suggestion boogzter, i might try that with my network cable | 09:33 |
| === hedhorm_ is now known as hedhorm | ||
| boogzter | Guess I'm too slow lol | 09:33 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, i saved file in desktop and named it to bash ,if i want to run it just type bash in terminal? | 09:34 |
| sandstrom | What's the reasonable memory usage for a basic ubuntu server setup (top processes running is init, sshd, syslog, cron and a few others). No major apps | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar: No. I recommend a less confusing name, I call it "undelflv" and you would run it like "Desktop/undelflv" in the terminal. | 09:35 |
| boogzter | G'nite guys... thanks for the clinic :) | 09:35 |
| metallico | guys, i cant find the "repair broken installation" option on my ubuntu CD. does such option exist and where is it supposed to be? | 09:36 |
| novitololo | Hi, I downloaded jQueryUi.custom.zip and I can't extract the files in ubuntu. I can do it in windows. Can it be because it is a .custom.zip ? | 09:37 |
| Jordan_U | metallico: It's only on the alternate install CD. | 09:37 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, i changed it and it say http://pastebin.com/39s497se | 09:37 |
| metallico | so that's different than ubuntu-desktop? | 09:38 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar: If you're in the Desktop directory already then you need to run "./undelflv". | 09:38 |
| stone22 | Hi | 09:39 |
| stone22 | perhaps anyone here can help me with my broken ubuntu | 09:39 |
| stone22 | gnome-panel and metacity do not start automatically any more | 09:40 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/qxuxUdYr | 09:40 |
| osmosis_paul | could be very complex but somebody know how can i create an script that read my syslog and copy a secction of this log file since one date of the file | 09:41 |
| Poss | what is wrong with it stone 22? | 09:41 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar: The line numbers aren't part of the script. This is a link to just the text of the script: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=F9qP9W3A | 09:42 |
| stone22 | my system boots with a blank screen. no gui :( | 09:42 |
| erUSUL | osmosis_paul: read in realtime ? if not use sed | 09:42 |
| osmosis_paul | well realtime when cron finish his task i want copy that secction in the syslog and send an email | 09:43 |
| === vincent is now known as Guest53489 | ||
| osmosis_paul | that's mean copy the secction of the syslog since sctm-one minute and the end of the file | 09:43 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, i created new was run but nothing happened http://pastebin.com/RcUp7iDW | 09:44 |

| Jordan_U | cutiyar: What browser are you using? | 09:44 |
| stone22 | Poss: so there has to be something wrong with the config files in gnome, but i dont know how to fix this. removed ubuntu-desktop completely and reinstalled it. | 09:44 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, i created new was run but nothing happened http://pastebin.com/RcUp7iDW | 09:44 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, firefox | 09:45 |
| cutiyar | awwww | 09:45 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, i changed chrome to ff | 09:45 |
| Romeo_BCN | for join to server irc-hispano what make? | 09:45 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, i changed chrome to ff | 09:45 |
| erUSUL | osmosis_paul: sed -n '/sctm-one/,$p' syslog > syslog_section | 09:45 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, i changed chrome to firefox | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | stone22: ubuntu-desktop is a hollow metapackage, it won't remove anything but itself | 09:45 |
| Poss | hrmm I'm just another user mate | 09:46 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar: Please don't repeat your messages. | 09:46 |
| sharrow | Anyone got an idea why installing ubuntu netbook 10.10 on an Eee 1000H would fail with CPU softlock on the Xorg process? | 09:46 |
| Romeo_BCN | alguien habla español? | 09:46 |
| Jordan_U | !es | Romeo_BCN | 09:46 |
| ubottu | Romeo_BCN: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 09:46 |
| osmosis_paul | erUSUL, wow and what it is syslog_section | 09:46 |
| osmosis_paul | Romeo_BCN, tienes el canal ubuntu Castellano creo | 09:46 |
| erUSUL | osmosis_paul: the file with the section you wanted. | 09:46 |
| erUSUL | !es | Romeo_BCN | 09:46 |
| Petfrogg | back... | 09:47 |
| stone22 | ActionParsnip: thxs for the link but i dont think that in my case the graphic card is the problem. because it worked before | 09:47 |
| Poss | have you tried Deleting ~/.gnome2/session and restarting gnome? | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sharrow: you need to add the boot option: acpi_osi=Linux | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | stone22: its free to try | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sharrow: you can add it in /etc/default/grub once you get an installed desktop. | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sharrow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks | 09:48 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, what i do? | 09:48 |
| osmosis_paul | erUSUL, so the section that i want? i think i dont understand very much. i'm gonna try | 09:48 |
| sharrow | ActionParsnip: and it's copying files now | 09:48 |
| Poss | stone22 System->Preferences->Session. On tab "Startup Programs", click the "Add" button and type in "Metacity" as the Name and "/usr/bin/metacity" as the command to run the application. | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | sharrow: ok then let it finish and such | 09:48 |
| Poss | then it should start every time | 09:48 |
| Poss | its not a fix, but a workaround | 09:48 |
| erUSUL | osmosis_paul: the file contains from the line that has sctm-one to the end of the file. you can refine the regex if you want | 09:49 |
| sharrow | I tried it with acpi=off but apparently that wasn't the right incantation | 09:49 |
| sharrow | Aw yeah | 09:49 |
| stone22 | Poss: i dont have a menu | 09:49 |
| sss | How do I find out what USB ports I have? | 09:49 |
| erUSUL | sss: lsusb | 09:49 |
| Poss | stone22: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466754 | 09:49 |
| stone22 | Poss: only a background and as mousepointer wich is a cross | 09:49 |
| sss | erUSUL, thanks | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | sss: lshw-gtk may tell you too | 09:50 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar: It looks like the script needs to be changed more than that to work with Firefox. I'm working on it now. | 09:50 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, ok i will test it now with chrome | 09:51 |
| Poss | stone22 you should be able to bring up the terminal through a keyboard shortcut and then manually start gnome panel | 09:51 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, but the undelted flv where would save? | 09:52 |
| stone22 | Poss: this is not possible either. i only can do ctrl+alt+f1 | 09:52 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar: To /tmp/. It will print the exact path that it copies the file to (and from). | 09:52 |
| osmosis_paul | erUSUL, the only information that i can have is a date "Feb 18 00:15:05 ip-10-226-199-7 " for example and tell that i want the file from that date to the end of the file | 09:52 |
| erUSUL | osmosis_paul: then use Feb 18 00:15:05 ip-10-226-199-7 as regex | 09:53 |
| stone22 | is it possible to do a reinstall with default settings for gnome? | 09:53 |
| osmosis_paul | erUSUL, insert that info in the syslog_section? | 09:53 |
| erUSUL | osmosis_paul: 0.o! | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | stone22: most are stored in ~/.config or ~/.gnome2 etc | 09:54 |
| erUSUL | osmosis_paul: sed -n '/Feb 18 00:15:05 ip-10-226-199-7/,$p' syslog > syslog_section | 09:54 |
| osmosis_paul | erUSUL, sorry mate i dont get it yet how works the query that you send to me | 09:54 |
| ale_ | how do I add a script to init.d? I'd like to run it at boot.. | 09:54 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, iam playing video on youtube but didint show any thing in temp/ folder | 09:54 |
| erUSUL | ale_: run it from /etc/rc.local if it is simple stuff | 09:55 |
| rumpe1 | ale_, update-rc.d | 09:55 |
| stone22 | ActionParsnip: so deleting the config files and do a reinstall could help. i will try | 09:55 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar: Any output when you run the undelflv script? | 09:55 |
| rumpe1 | ale_, or for simple tasks just add to /etc/rc.local | 09:55 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, no | 09:55 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar: Did you change firefox back to chrome? | 09:55 |
| ale_ | I added the command to system->preferences->startup applications, but it doesn't start automatically.. is that possible? | 09:56 |
| rumpe1 | ale_, init.d is for daemons, not for simple scripts | 09:56 |
| osmosis_paul | erUSUL, wow!!!! works!!! genius!!!!! | 09:56 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, its working thanks | 09:56 |
| osmosis_paul | erUSUL, thanks a lot buddy!\ | 09:56 |
| Jordan_U | cutiyar: You'r welcome. | 09:56 |
| erUSUL | osmosis_paul: no problem | 09:56 |
| ale_ | yes, it's a simple command | 09:56 |
| cutiyar | Jordan_U, if u do it with ff would very good to me | 09:57 |
| rumpe1 | ale_, then i would recommend /etc/rc.local | 09:57 |
| osmosis_paul | erUSUL, thanks a lot buddy! | 09:57 |
| Poss | stone22: from alt + ctrl + f1 you should be able to enter in: rm -Rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity | 09:58 |
| Poss | then when you switch back with ctrl +alt+f7 you should have gnome panel back | 09:58 |
| ale_ | rumpe1: thanks | 09:58 |
| sharrow | ActionParsnip: Thanks very much, I'm good now. | 09:58 |
| osmosis_paul | well if i use date in the command line i receive this "Fri Feb 18 09:54:51 UTC 2011" somebody know how can i get from the system only this "Fri Feb 18 09:54:51 " and use as variable in a shell script | 09:59 |
| Glutsch | osmosis_paul : man bash, good luck... | 10:00 |

| riosgrp90 | actionparsnip: this is all one big experiment so at this point i'm not sure what I need yet. :) | 10:08 |

| kisuke | ActionParsnip: damnit, i lose GDM every time i install it, andi need it for xbmc and mythtv | 10:31 |
| osmosis_paul | llutz, this sed -n '/Fri Feb 18 + 00:15:00 | 10:31 |
| llutz | mikunos: sorry only thing to examine i see is that " closing control connection due to missing echo reply" part. | 10:31 |
| taran | cant find ~./bashrc | 10:31 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: what are you trying to achieve? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | kisuke: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig and reboot | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | taran: in a terminal run: gedit ~/.bashrc | 10:31 |
| mikunos | llutz: maybe there is the dead pear connection problem | 10:31 |
| kisuke | ActionParsnip: wish me luck | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | taran: or in command line: nano ~/.bashrc both are fine | 10:32 |
| osmosis_paul | llutz, this sed -n '/Fri Feb 18 + 00:15:00/,$p' syslog > syslog_section | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | kisuke: if you get no X, boot to recovery root and rename /etc/X11/xorg.cof | 10:32 |
| taran | ActionParsnip: ok.I got it | 10:32 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: are you trying to extract mail-logs from systlog? pls answer | 10:32 |
| kisuke | ActionParsnip: i dont leave tty1 and gdm says its running... | 10:32 |
| osmosis_paul | llutz, cron logs | 10:32 |
| taran | ActionParsnip: in order to permanently save my username and password for proxy what should be done here? | 10:32 |
| osmosis_paul | already has this sed -n '/'$DATE'/,$p' /var/log/syslog > syslog.mail | 10:33 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: why not using own logfiles for cron? | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | taran: you can use the .bashrc file, or the proxy config in the settings | 10:33 |
| osmosis_paul | llutz, as far as i know all jobs of cron are in syslog | 10:33 |
| stanman246 | hi in here. I've got a new pc containing w7. I want to change that into a kvm win7 on ubuntu. Is there anyone who did this before? | 10:33 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: reconfigure your (r)syslog to get own cron-logs | 10:34 |
| zamba | 'do-release-upgrade' doesn't yield anything.. i'm guessing that contacts canonical? | 10:34 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: much easier than what you're trying | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | taran: if you copy the export commands you ran earlier, to .bashrc it will be used | 10:34 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: if using rsyslog, create "/etc/rsyslog.d/cron with this 2 lines: cron.* /var/log/cron.log | 10:35 |
| osmosis_paul | llutz, almost finish i check that works and i want get only a secction of the log, i just need scape propertly the varialbe in the querty | 10:35 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: cron.* ~ | 10:35 |
| taran | ActionParsnip: do u mean this to save username and passwword "export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/"? | 10:35 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: and put a # in start of the cron... line in /etc/rsyslogd.conf | 10:35 |
| osmosis_paul | llutz, yes but i'm creating an daily report so i need to use sed anyway | 10:36 |
| osmosis_paul | llutz, i just want the secction of log of today at this time just when finish the task | 10:36 |

| adeee | hay guys whenever i try to connect with phpmyadmin igot this error "#2002 Cannot log in to the MySQL server" can anybody help me? | 10:38 |
| osmosis_paul | llutz, this is the original and is working sed -n '/Fri Feb 18 + 00:15:00/,$p' syslog > syslog_section and this is that i have in my script sed -n '/'$DATE'/,$p' /var/log/syslog > syslog.mail | 10:39 |
| osmosis_paul | llutz, is a problem with a quote but i can not see it! | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | adeee: did you set an account for your SQL? | 10:40 |
| adeee | yes its root acount | 10:40 |
| kisuke | addisonj: your phpmyadmin is not logging into mysql, either because mysql is not installed/running or the username/password combonation you have is wrong | 10:40 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: sed -n '/${DATE}/... | 10:40 |
| taran | ActionParsnip: I saved it in ~/.bashrc where else do I write it again ? | 10:40 |
| === stail is now known as Madao | ||
| kisuke | ActionParsnip: mysqlsetup makes you set up at least a root account which AFAIK is the account that phpmyadmin uses. | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | taran: as long as you have the http_proxy and ftp_proxy correctly defined in the file, just run: source ~/.bashrc and it will work | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | kisuke: then i'd ask in a PHP channel, it's more specific to your issue | 10:41 |

| taran | ActionParsnip: or is it in apt.conf | 10:43 |
| erUSUL | osmosis_paul: use double quotes or $DATE would not spand. and you only need one pair | 10:44 |
| erUSUL | osmosis_paul: sed -n "/${DATE}/,$p" /var/log/syslog > syslog.mail | 10:44 |

| zetheroo | faenor: what's your point!? | 10:49 |
| osmosis_paul | erUSUL, and for sure that must work because with the query with the phisical date that you give before works very nice | 10:49 |
| kisuke | moustiK_: GNU/linux is more a pipe dream at this point than anything else. | 10:50 |

| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: oh I see ... that whole bit was to install WINE ... which I already installed from synaptic | 10:51 |
| zetheroo | ActionParsnip: I'll just jump to the next step which is downloading and installing IE | 10:51 |

| Shoggoth | could someone please remind me - what is the name of the program that lets you build and install a program from source and it records the results into a dpkg ? | 11:23 |
| kisuke | FightingNavyman: that CD is juust to move you to the right directory, it does none of the actual installation. | 11:24 |
| taran | ActionParsnip: no I did not | 11:24 |

| taran | ActionParsnip: Am I supposed to add the saem Export command lines in apt.conf? | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | FightingNavyman: 1.6.19 is in the repo... | 11:26 |
| kisuke | ActionParsnip: ok, xbmc refuses to recognize that its got openGL avalible to it, suggestions? | 11:26 |
| Dazzled | ActionParsnip: I uninstalled and reinstalled power manager through APT | 11:26 |
| Dazzled | no cigar | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | taran: the link I ave shows the syntax | 11:26 |
| llutz | osmosis_paul: have you tried asking in ##sed ? | 11:26 |
| Dazzled | Now I tried recovery mode with Safe Graphics, and that works so far | 11:27 |
| osmosis_paul | llutz, nice! thanks a lot dude | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | kisuke: not sure, have you looked in the logsor tried to run it from terminal | 11:27 |
| Dazzled | Is there a way I can check or reset things from there? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Dazzled: progress at least :) | 11:27 |
| taran | ActionParsnip: let me try | 11:27 |
| kisuke | ActionParsnip: it just comes up and tells me it needs a GFX card with openGL support. | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Dazzled: are you fully updated? | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | kisuke: can you run compiz/desktop effects? | 11:28 |
| Dazzled | ActionParsnip: Yes, I'm and update addict, sadly, I think that might perhaps be the problem | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Dazzled: are you using beta/alpha PPAs? | 11:28 |
| kisuke | ActionParsnip: afaik yes, let me double check | 11:28 |
| Dazzled | Normally, no | 11:28 |
| Dazzled | I'm on 10.10 | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Dazzled: then i'd read /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what's going on | 11:29 |
| Graet|lappy | !checkinstall Graet|lappy | 11:29 |
| taran | ActionParsnip: I did the change in apt.conf n now its working thanks | 11:30 |

| kisuke | sod this im going back to 10.04 | 11:32 |
| Hardin | !check-install | Hardin | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | kisuke: thats why then | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | kisuke: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig and reboot | 11:34 |
| Dazzled | ActionParsnip: I see nothing unusual in Xorg.0.log | 11:34 |
| kisuke | ActionParsnip: not again, installing 10.04, i have no idea why canonical insists on releasing a new version just after most of the bugs have been worked out of the last one... | 11:35 |
| geogeek1 | hi$ | 11:35 |
| geogeek1 | hi | 11:35 |
| kisuke | geogeek1: hi | 11:35 |
| Dazzled | ActionParsnip: A wild guess, could it be the NVidia driver? | 11:36 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: What seems to be your problem | 11:36 |
| geogeek1 | i wanna burn my data ( pdf files ) | 11:36 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: To a cd ?, right? | 11:36 |
| Dazzled | as the screen turned purple right before I get that "bad power manager" screen | 11:36 |
| geogeek1 | using brasro and | 11:36 |
| geogeek1 | the default burner | 11:36 |
| geogeek1 | but when i burn i can't read the files | 11:36 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: braesero is the default burner | 11:37 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: Did you wait for the burning process to complete? | 11:37 |
| geogeek1 | yes | 11:37 |
| Dazzled | brb | 11:37 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: You can't view the files in ubuntu or any other os | 11:37 |
| Hardin | ?> | 11:37 |
| Hardin | ? | 11:37 |
| geogeek1 | when i try to open ppdf file i get "File type unknown (application/octet-stream) is not supported" | 11:38 |
| geogeek1 | i hadn't yet view the cd in windows | 11:38 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: ppdf or pdf? | 11:38 |
| kisuke | geogeek1: you do have a PDF reader installed? | 11:38 |
| geogeek1 | 11:38 | |
| geogeek1 | yeah | 11:38 |
| ymonir | Actionparsnip: http://pastie.org/1578323 | 11:38 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: But, the platform you are having problems is ubuntu, right?\ | 11:39 |
| geogeek1 | i have the same prob when i have tried to burn jpeg images | 11:39 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: Okay, then | 11:39 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: 1. open a terminal | 11:39 |
| geogeek1 | yes | 11:39 |
| Hardin | geogeek1:2. Put the cd in | 11:39 |
| geogeek1 | i had to mention | 11:39 |
| Dazzled1 | ActionParsnip: here is the log http://pastie.org/private/upwlgwqfnsoqthqzbwygmw | 11:40 |
| geogeek1 | that i had solved the problem of images by copying the images in the main | 11:40 |
| geogeek1 | partition | 11:40 |
| geogeek1 | ext3 | 11:40 |
| frybye | Hi - I have 10.10 and using evolution as mail client - trying to fix my contacts from the couch-db ubuntu one - shows them in a mess as "not sorted" - how to get them sorted/displayed usably?? | 11:40 |
| ashish | hey, how to link files in ubuntu using ld command? | 11:40 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: okay | 11:40 |
| ActionParsnip | ymonir: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 11:40 |
| Hardin | ld | ashish | 11:40 |
| Hardin | !ld | ashish | 11:40 |
| geogeek1 | ok | 11:41 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: Solved the pdf or jpg problem? | 11:41 |
| ashish | Hardin, right ... but how? I am compiling this C file using gcc command and I get undefined reference . It is using funtions from the libconfig.h header gile | 11:41 |
| frybye | gota go - bye | 11:42 |
| geogeek1 | not yet | 11:42 |
| Hardin | ashish: Checked the man page? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | ashish: that's conding problems, speak to the guy who wrote it, try ##c++ | 11:42 |
| geogeek1 | :( | 11:42 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: Okay did you put the cd in? | 11:42 |
| geogeek1 | yes | 11:42 |
| geogeek1 | :) | 11:42 |
| ashish | ikonia , its a c program | 11:42 |
| ashish | ikonia, whats the channel for C programming | 11:42 |
| ashish | ? | 11:42 |
| geogeek1 | what i got to do then | 11:42 |
| geogeek1 | ?? | 11:42 |
| ikonia | ashish: speak to the guy who wrote it | 11:42 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: Okay, then cd into media and type ls | 11:43 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: cd /media | 11:43 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: then ls | 11:43 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: Undefined reference, are you missing a library? | 11:43 |
| geogeek1 | Hardin: ok | 11:43 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: Then tell me the output | 11:43 |
| geogeek1 | Hardin:i got to mount it using mount | 11:43 |
| geogeek1 | ?? | 11:44 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: Yes | 11:44 |
| geogeek1 | ok | 11:44 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, I have installed the libconfig that is needed to run it. I can even see the file under /usr/include with all the other headers . But the file just gives undefined reference error | 11:44 |
| LikesFruit | hello guys, i am getting the error "Warning: Incorrect number of heads/cylinder 16 (FAT) != 255 (HD)" when i run testdisk. i was hoping someone could give me some background information on where this information is stored. is it in the parition table when i formated the disk. and if i change it will it make the disk unreadable | 11:44 |
| ymonir | Actionparsnip: i have got the out put and at the end i have got this error http://pastie.org/1578331 | 11:44 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: headers -> includes, does not equal libraries to link against | 11:45 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, any idea how I can link it then? | 11:45 |
| Dazzled1 | I don't know what program you're trying to compile, what error are you getting, eg what function is an undefined reference | 11:45 |
| kisuke | ./toast here's for a working install | 11:46 |
| ashish | all the functions which are part of libconfig are undefined | 11:46 |
| ashish | thats the error , Dazzled1 | 11:46 |
| Dazzled1 | the compiler can't find the "library" to look for said function, you have to tell it where it could be in | 11:46 |
| ashish | I get the logic part , but how do I implement that ? | 11:47 |
| Dazzled1 | is there a '-l something something' (withhout the '') in your compiler string? | 11:47 |
| syn-ack | That sounds like a linker issue to me. but oh well | 11:47 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: there? | 11:47 |
| ashish | alright let me try | 11:48 |
| Dazzled1 | otherwhise do you have a link to the code you're trying to compile? | 11:48 |
| Dazzled1 | it would save time to just try and run it here | 11:48 |
| tham | Hello, I'm getting a "fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory" error while trying to install a software. How can I fix this? | 11:49 |
| Senjai | !msg the bot | Senjai | 11:49 |
| ubottu | Senjai, please see my private message | 11:49 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, gcc configmgmt.c -o c -ld libconfig.a is this the way to run it? | 11:49 |
| sss | Is it possible for different users to use different languages? | 11:49 |
| syn-ack | sss, yes. | 11:50 |
| kisuke | tham: you are missing tcl.h which sould have came with your source | 11:50 |
| sss | syn-ack, how? | 11:50 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: seems okay-ish, I'm no compiler guru though | 11:51 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, lol, It isnt working still | 11:51 |
| syn-ack | sss don't recall right off hand. lemme look it up | 11:51 |
| tham | kisuke, No, I think it should be a file that should be in the system. I tried installing tcl/tk, but didn't solve the issue | 11:51 |
| geogeek1 | Hardin: yes | 11:51 |
| geogeek1 | Hardin: thanks too much :) | 11:52 |
| Dazzled1 | try to build a sample program, which could be made public | 11:52 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: what, fixed? | 11:52 |
| geogeek1 | Hardin: for your help | 11:52 |
| geogeek1 | Hardin: yes | 11:52 |
| geogeek1 | :) | 11:52 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: How? | 11:52 |
| syn-ack | sss, you have to change the locale is all but I don't remember exactly how to do it | 11:52 |
| Dazzled1 | But I have to go for a reboot, I'm fixing some stuff here | 11:52 |
| kisuke | tham: *.h means its a header file, it should come with the source, you might try and google that file and add it to the folder that way. | 11:52 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: You opened the pdf file using evince? | 11:52 |
| sss | syn-ack, please wait a sec, I will be right back | 11:53 |
| tham | kisuke, ah okay, I'll try doing that, thanks | 11:53 |
| geogeek1 | Hardin: yes it worked | 11:53 |
| syn-ack | sss, http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ae19494_.htm | 11:53 |
| geogeek1 | i used evince | 11:53 |
| geogeek1 | :) | 11:53 |
| syn-ack | ack | 11:53 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: Ah, cool !! | 11:53 |
| geogeek1 | Hardin: thanks too much | 11:53 |
| geogeek1 | Hardin: bye | 11:53 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: Welcome | 11:53 |
| Hardin | geogeek1: bye, have a good day, etc | 11:54 |
| lukasz_ | hi | 11:54 |
| ymonir | Actionparsnip: i have got the out put and at the end i have got this error http://pastie.org/1578331 | 11:55 |
| sss | syn-ack, I am back | 11:55 |
| syn-ack | http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ae19494_.htm | 11:55 |
| lukasz_ | PL? | 11:55 |
| syn-ack | sss, I know it's related to websphere, but it really does apply to Linux in a whole | 11:55 |
| Jelou | Hello, do you know if is it possible to run an iso file with grub1? | 11:55 |
| syn-ack | Jelou, No, it's not | 11:55 |
| syn-ack | Jelou, That functionality was added to GRUB2 | 11:56 |
| Jelou | ok, thanks syn-ack | 11:56 |
| kisuke | syn-ack: grub legacy doesnt support loopback isos? | 11:57 |
| syn-ack | kisuke, nope | 11:57 |
| LikesFruit | are the CHS values for my harddrive stored in the MBR? | 11:58 |
| kisuke | syn-ack: well that gets the SG2CD promoted in my tool kit | 11:58 |
| syn-ack | kisuke, then that was either added by the dev or I apparently missed something after having used GRUB for most of a decade | 11:59 |
| kisuke | syn-ack: super grub 2 CD, not grub 1 | 11:59 |
| Gernoz | good morning. i booted from liveCD and tried to write on my fast partition. when i try to chmod folders on that partition it says it does, but actually permissions stay the same. whats wrong there? | 11:59 |
| syn-ack | kisuke, Ok well, thats GRUB2 not GRUB | 12:00 |
| Gernoz | s/fast/FAT | 12:00 |
| mgedmin | Gernoz, FAT has little support for permissions | 12:00 |
| kisuke | syn-ack: there was a 2 in there | 12:00 |
| mgedmin | basically it only has a read-only bit | 12:00 |
| Gernoz | mgedmin: how to write there then? | 12:00 |
| syn-ack | but you asked if legacy supported it, SuperGRUB2 isn't GRUB Legacy. | 12:01 |
| arand | Gernoz: You tend to only be able to set partition-wide permissions, and that at mount time, for ntfs and fat, if I recall correctly | 12:01 |
| syn-ack | oh nm | 12:01 |
| syn-ack | I'm tracking now | 12:01 |
| syn-ack | yeah... sorry about that | 12:01 |
| Ichi_scrotum | which irc channel has the current ubuntu ppc group? | 12:01 |
| kisuke | syn-ack: i said that the SG2CD got uped in importance, as opposed to the origonal SGCD | 12:02 |
| Gernoz | i mounted rw, but it doesnt let me write /dev/sda5 on /tmp/fat type vfat (rw) | 12:02 |
| syn-ack | Yeah, I completely misunderstood | 12:02 |
| syn-ack | kisuke, sorry about that | 12:02 |
| mgedmin | Gernoz, are you root? | 12:02 |
| kisuke | syn-ack: np, misunderstandings happen. | 12:02 |
| Gernoz | not in the gui, i think | 12:03 |
| mgedmin | Gernoz, there are mount options for setting the uid/gid for all files and folders that will then allow you to write as non-root | 12:03 |
| mgedmin | try something like mount /tmp/fat -o remount,uid=1000 | 12:03 |
| Gernoz | mgdemin: ok, thanks, ill try that | 12:03 |
| * mgedmin checks 'man mount' for the exact spelling of that uid option | 12:03 | |
| mgedmin | yep, it's uid | 12:04 |
| mgedmin | alternatively umask=0 will make all files writable by everyone | 12:04 |
| greenm0nk | how can i find if a serial port is under use(blocked) on linux and free it? | 12:04 |
| faenor | greenm0nk: GNU/Linux, not linux | 12:04 |
| mgedmin | if you *mount* from the GUI, Ubuntu will set everything up for you automatically | 12:04 |
| mgedmin | faenor, that's not very helpful, is it? | 12:05 |
| greenm0nk | mgedmin: ah. sorry. i forgot to mention that it's a ruby program. so i'll have to run a system command | 12:05 |
| mgedmin | greenm0nk, fuser or lsof can find which process is holding /dev/ttyWHATEVER open | 12:05 |
| mgedmin | killing that process will free the port | 12:05 |
| greenm0nk | mgedmin: "fuser /dev/ttyUSB0" is correct? | 12:06 |
| mgedmin | greenm0nk, yes -- or fuser -v /dev/ttyUSB0 for more verbosity | 12:07 |
| syn-ack | faenor, Let's not get into that tired argument. Really that's nothing more than troll bait or a flame bait, which are both counterproductive to the channel. | 12:07 |
| greenm0nk | mgedmin: it just returns the prompt. | 12:07 |
| kisuke | syn-ack: he's been doing that for the last 2 hours or so... | 12:07 |
| syn-ack | kisuke, Seriously? ugh. | 12:08 |
| greenm0nk | isnt faenor a bot? | 12:08 |
| aaronbrett | Where can I find the config file for the emoticons (I use empathy) if I want to add some extra emoticons? | 12:08 |
| kisuke | syn-ack: yep | 12:08 |
| kisuke | greenm0nk: im begining to think that | 12:08 |
| kisuke | linux | 12:08 |
| faenor | kisuke: GNU/Linux, not linux | 12:08 |
| syn-ack | sure is | 12:08 |
| kisuke | yep, its a bot | 12:08 |
| Noiano | hi | 12:08 |
| Gernoz | mgedmin: doesnt work either | 12:09 |
| greenm0nk | kisuke: coz the reply was so fast when i typed linux | 12:09 |
| faenor | greenm0nk: GNU/Linux, not linux | 12:09 |
| llutz | time to kick it | 12:09 |
| greenm0nk | haha ya :) | 12:09 |
| Ichi_scrotum | Linux?GNU | 12:09 |
| Ichi_scrotum | wow | 12:09 |
| Dazzled1 | ActionParsnip: I switched my NVidia driver, and now it doesn't act up anymore :) | 12:09 |
| Noiano | flashplayer 10.2 is supposed to be gpu accelerated...how do I tell? | 12:09 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: Did you find a solution yet? | 12:09 |
| kisuke | i still say gnu/linux is mostly a pipe dream, but thats a whole nother arguement | 12:09 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, nop | 12:09 |
| syn-ack | kisuke, RMS probably stuck it in here as a "lesson" | 12:10 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, still searching | 12:10 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: Do you have a sample program I could try to run here? | 12:10 |
| kisuke | syn-ack: RMS? | 12:10 |
| ashish | sure | 12:10 |
| mgedmin | Gernoz, please pastebin the output of 'mount /tmp/fat' and the output of 'id' | 12:10 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/ | 12:10 |
| Gernoz | uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) | 12:11 |
| ashish | there is a package here, | 12:11 |
| ashish | download and chekc out the examples, under examples/c | 12:11 |
| Gernoz | /dev/sda5 on /tmp/fat type vfat (rw,umask=0) | 12:11 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, if u can run the examples , then I guess the problem is solved | 12:11 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, damn, if they even compile then great | 12:11 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: What version did you use? | 12:12 |
| ashish | the newer one | 12:12 |
| mgedmin | Gernoz, and you can't write to it? | 12:12 |
| Dazzled1 | k | 12:12 |
| mgedmin | Gernoz, can you pastebin the output of 'touch /tmp/fat/test.txt'? | 12:12 |
| === Dotted is now known as Dotoff | ||
| === petr is now known as Guest56191 | ||
| Gernoz | mgedmin: cannot touch, Permission denied | 12:14 |
| Gernoz | there's something wrong, i think i'l reboot | 12:14 |
| Yerushalmi | Hey folks, after downloading the most recent set of package updates my computer decided to go nuts: upon bootup, all I can see is the upper bar, and my desktop picture keeps going white and coming back every second. Anyone heard of this? | 12:14 |
| mgedmin | I doubt that'll help | 12:14 |
| mgedmin | Gernoz, last question | 12:14 |
| mgedmin | what does 'grep /tmp/fat /proc/mounts' say? | 12:15 |
| syn-ack | Yerushalmi, which version of Ubuntu? | 12:15 |
| Gernoz | /dev/sda5 /tmp/fat vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0 | 12:16 |
| Yerushalmi | 10.10, netbook edition | 12:16 |
| mgedmin | ah! | 12:16 |
| syn-ack | hrm | 12:16 |
| mgedmin | my manual page is outdated | 12:16 |
| syn-ack | Yerushalmi, which video driver are you running? | 12:16 |
| sacarlson | Yerushalmi: maybe try reboot and go back to the last kernel if it was updated, hold shift on boot and go back one version | 12:16 |
| mgedmin | Gernoz, try mount /tmp/fat -o remount,fmask=011,dmask=0 | 12:16 |
| mgedmin | that should make it world-writable | 12:16 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: I'm reading the PDF atm | 12:17 |
| mgedmin | instead of a single umask for files and directories, you can specify separate umasks for them | 12:17 |
| Dazzled1 | it states: To link with the library, specify `-lconfig++' as an argument to the linker | 12:17 |
| Yerushalmi | sacarlson: There was no kernel update, and I tried several kernel versions, all had the same problems. Sodo other users. | 12:17 |
| Yerushalmi | syn-ack: How do I find out? | 12:17 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, I hear you man, but how do u do that , pls gimme the command format | 12:17 |
| Yerushalmi | I should make it clear that the upper bar does not blink in and out; just the desktop image. | 12:18 |
| zetheroo | does anyone know of a user-friendly alternative to MS Remote Desktop ActiveX Control ? | 12:18 |
| Gernoz | mgedmin: works now. what was the problem? | 12:18 |
| Dazzled1 | well, I'm more of a IDE person, so I'll try to flush out what I need exactly | 12:18 |
| Senjai | !ot | zetheroo | 12:18 |
| ubottu | zetheroo: #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! | 12:18 |
| Yerushalmi | The little bar that appears with network or battery status also remains constant while everything around it goes white. | 12:19 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, btw, u will also need to install it . using ./configutr | 12:19 |
| mgedmin | Gernoz, since vfat itself doesn't store ownership/permission information, mount options are used for those -- and by default make vfat systems writable only by root | 12:19 |
| kisuke | Senjai: thats not nessacrly off topic. | 12:19 |
| Dazzled1 | I saw some autmake files btw in the examples dir | 12:19 |
| Dazzled1 | automake* | 12:19 |
| zetheroo | Senjai: I'll take that as meaning you haven't got an f-ing clue :P | 12:19 |
| Dazzled1 | but no complementary config files | 12:19 |
| Gernoz | so fmask=011 will always help me? | 12:19 |
| syn-ack | Yerushalmi, I would try what the other guy suggested first. | 12:20 |
| Dazzled1 | woops | 12:20 |
| Yerushalmi | syn-ack: Already did. | 12:20 |
| Dazzled1 | there are in the dir above | 12:20 |
| mgedmin | Gernoz, if I were you, I'd double-click on the disk icon in Nautilus to mount it | 12:20 |
| mgedmin | instead of playing with mount options in a terminal | 12:20 |
| zetheroo | I need to access the office from home ... usually I would do it through IE and entering in the https URL etc ... but without IE in Linux I am stuck :( | 12:20 |
| Scall | Hello, how can I change fonts size of KDE applications in GNOME? I use Ubuntu 10.10. Thanks. | 12:21 |
| Yerushalmi | I can still load up terminal with CtrlAltT, no problem, I just don't have Gnome. | 12:21 |
| DaveAG | zetheroo: Use the rdesktop command | 12:21 |
| syn-ack | zetheroo, IE7 can run in WiNE | 12:21 |
| LjL | Scall: install kcontrol and run it, i guess | 12:21 |
| Gernoz | mgedmin: this is xubuntu liveCD, no nautilus here :-) | 12:21 |
| zetheroo | syn-ack: I have been trying to get it working for hours now ... no go ... | 12:21 |
| zetheroo | syn-ack: how did you manage to get it to work? | 12:21 |
| DaveAG | zetheroo: You'll need to find out (possibly by viewing source) what the actual RDP server is called | 12:21 |
| Scall | Ljl: what is "kcontrol", where I find it? | 12:22 |
| Gernoz | anyway, it works now. thank you very much | 12:22 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, wait will give u a example file | 12:22 |
| LjL | Scall: it's the KDE control panel. "sudo apt-get install kcontrol" will get it installed | 12:22 |
| syn-ack | Yerushalmi, sounds like something br0ke bad... I would have look at myself for a while to figure whats going on. what does your xorg log say | 12:22 |
| zetheroo | DaveAG: RDP server? | 12:22 |
| LjL | Scall: wait, no it won't | 12:22 |
| syn-ack | zetheroo, honestly? Luck. | 12:22 |
| DaveAG | zetheroo: The machine running Windows terminal services | 12:22 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: Did you do the ./configure and make steps? | 12:22 |
| zetheroo | DaveAG: I knwo what the name of the server is and the domain etc ... | 12:22 |
| Dazzled1 | outlined in README? | 12:22 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/test.cfg.txt make changes to the filename | 12:22 |
| DaveAG | zetheroo: Sorry, must dash, meeting starting | 12:22 |
| syn-ack | rdesktop should work though, too though | 12:22 |
| zetheroo | DaveAG: ok ;) | 12:22 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, I just did ./configure , thats all | 12:23 |
| LjL | !info systemsettings | Scall this one should be the one, for KDE 4 | 12:23 |
| ubottu | Scall: systemsettings (source: kdebase-workspace): KDE 4 System Settings. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.5.1-0ubuntu8 (maverick), package size 291 kB, installed size 1444 kB | 12:23 |
| zetheroo | syn-ack: is that through the terminal? | 12:23 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, and reconfirmed in the synaptic package manager | 12:23 |
| Dazzled1 | hang on | 12:23 |
| Gernoz | now i can download my kernel, unpacking current binary userland on / without doing so for the kernel first was no good idea | 12:23 |
| syn-ack | zetheroo, no | 12:23 |
| Dazzled1 | probably this is why it won't work | 12:23 |
| Helbom | has anyone here experienced problems with ubuntu and eclipse? because some of the files i bring down from our svn are malformed | 12:23 |
| zetheroo | syn-ack: I am installing Remotedesktop Client atm | 12:23 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, so what do i do? | 12:24 |
| Dazzled1 | could you go to the main dir of libconfig | 12:24 |
| Dazzled1 | (where you unpacked it) | 12:24 |
| Helbom | but when i try to open it in gedit i have to select UTF-8 or ISO-8859-15 | 12:24 |
| syn-ack | zetheroo, good deal | 12:24 |
| * kisuke executes 300-odd charactar command | 12:24 | |
| ashish | ok | 12:24 |
| Dazzled1 | (through the terminal) | 12:24 |
| Helbom | utf-8 fails... so i select iso and click retry | 12:24 |
| ashish | one sec | 12:24 |
| Gernoz | mgedmin: thanks a lot, have a nice weekend | 12:24 |
| * mgedmin waves in a friendly fashion | 12:24 | |
| zetheroo | syn-ack: ok that's only got one field ... "Computer" ... does the URL really go in there? | 12:24 |
| Helbom | and gedit loads the file and it shows all chars as they should be... incl ÆØÅ æøå | 12:24 |
| ashish | done | 12:24 |
| syn-ack | yep | 12:25 |
| Helbom | anyone here experienced anything simular? | 12:25 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, what next? | 12:25 |
| sacarlson | Yerushalmi: I didn't see you tell us about your video hardware can you show us sudo lshw | pastebinit ? | 12:25 |
| Helbom | this also only occures on the box running Ubuntu.. rest machines run windows and there eerything works perfectly | 12:25 |
| zetheroo | syn-ack: ok, nope I guess not ... heh | 12:25 |
| Dazzled1 | hmm, now I don't know if you changed some of the files, so this still could fail | 12:26 |
| Dazzled1 | type "make" and hit <ENTER> | 12:26 |
| ashish | everything is the way it was | 12:26 |
| Dazzled1 | without the "" | 12:26 |
| Helbom | hmmm... nothing? | 12:27 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, did it | 12:27 |
| ashish | u want to see the o/p? | 12:27 |
| Dazzled1 | should be okay | 12:27 |
| Dazzled1 | but you didn't do this before, right? | 12:28 |
| ashish | some errors are there | 12:28 |
| Dazzled1 | what errors? | 12:28 |
| ashish | so i did it again | 12:28 |
| ashish | it was looking in the redhat directory of my system | 12:28 |
| Dazzled1 | Oh, but I'm on ubuntu | 12:28 |
| ashish | same here | 12:28 |
| ashish | I went into debian folder now | 12:29 |
| ashish | have a look at the debian folder now | 12:29 |
| Dazzled1 | my output states that it built the examples succesfully after make | 12:29 |
| Dazzled1 | I'm looking at the debian folder | 12:30 |
| Dazzled1 | what should I look for ? | 12:30 |
| LinkRage | what's default user/pass in postgresql ? | 12:30 |
| ashish | under which folder did u enter make? | 12:30 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: | 12:30 |
| Dazzled1 | sorry! | 12:30 |
| Dazzled1 | we forgot something | 12:31 |
| Dazzled1 | go back to the main di | 12:31 |
| ashish | whats that? | 12:31 |
| ashish | ok | 12:31 |
| Dazzled1 | where you did make | 12:31 |
| ashish | under libconfig-1.4.6 | 12:31 |
| Dazzled1 | after make was run, you'd need to 'sudo make install' | 12:31 |
| rumpe1 | or even better "sudo checkinstall" instead of make install... | 12:32 |
| ashish | error | 12:32 |
| syn-ack | assuming he's got checkinstall installed. | 12:32 |
| ashish | install recursive | 12:32 |
| jrib | compiling libconfig because...? | 12:32 |
| ashish | I guess, I will reinstall the whole package | 12:32 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: perhaps that's the best option | 12:32 |
| ashish | how do I remove it , like completely? | 12:32 |
| Dazzled1 | ashish: there's an INSTALL.txt in the main dir | 12:32 |
| Dazzled1 | which details installation and removal quite nice | 12:33 |
| Dazzled1 | 5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the | 12:33 |
| Dazzled1 | source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the | 12:33 |
| Dazzled1 | files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for | 12:33 |
| Dazzled1 | a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is | 12:33 |
| Dazzled1 | also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly | 12:33 |
| Dazzled1 | for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get | 12:33 |
| Dazzled1 | all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came | 12:33 |
| FloodBot3 | Dazzled1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:33 |
| Dazzled1 | with the distribution. | 12:33 |
| the_drow | hello | 12:34 |

| === PicCard is now known as PicCard_Away | ||
| ashish | Dazzled1, Thanks | 12:36 |
| ashish | will get started with reinstallation | 12:36 |
| jrib | Dazzled1: why are you compiling libconfig when it is in the repositories? | 12:37 |
| Dazzled1 | jrib: because ashish was using the version from the website | 12:39 |
| Yerushalmi | syn-ack: Sorry, I had to go deal with something. How do I get to my xorg log? | 12:39 |
| ashish | Dazzled1, so if I use another version , I would be ok? | 12:40 |
| ashish | have a look at the synaptic manager | 12:40 |
| ashish | search for libconfig | 12:40 |
| Yerushalmi | sacarlson: I entered sudo lshw | pastebinit, now what do I do? | 12:40 |
| === Guest88890 is now known as pankaj | ||
| Dazzled1 | ashish: If you use the version from synaptic, you wouldn't need to build it yourself | 12:42 |
| Dazzled1 | and it probably *should* work out of the box | 12:43 |
| ashish | can u give it a shot? | 12:43 |
| ashish | for the same example file? | 12:43 |
| Yerushalmi | sacarlson: Ah, I see. http://pastebin.com/0CsWqAkY | 12:43 |

| Dazzled1 | if you did the configure/make/make install steps, the lib should be there | 12:58 |
| sacarlson | Yerushalmi: so I guess it's a theme problem? maybe try create a new user that is setup with default settings and see if the problem persist unless you found a solution already | 12:59 |
| tobiasz | hi | 12:59 |
| tobiasz | :) | 12:59 |
| dubey | hello | 13:00 |
| tobiasz | can I be sure, that when I am gonna order a copy of Ubuntu from ShipIt, I am gonna recieve the second milestone version (10.04.2) ? | 13:00 |
| Yerushalmi | sacarlson: I don't have any themes, and I have a backup user I don't touch specifically to check this sort of thing. Same problem. | 13:00 |
| tobiasz | they just released it | 13:00 |
| Nisstyre | tobiasz, you can update software via the internet | 13:00 |
| Gwar_Trolle | OH SWEET MERCIFLE BANJO, what did they do to the FF scroll bar in beta 12 :( | 13:00 |
| dubey | i want to use apt-mirro on centos box to provide ubuntu update on various ubuntu versions, Is it possible ? | 13:00 |
| AbhijiT | Gwar_Trolle, #firefox on irc.mozilla.org | 13:01 |
| Yerushalmi | That link seems to indicate it's a problem with the beta for the new upgrade to something called Unity. I'm fairly certain I remember that being on the list of items that got updated yesterday. How would I downgrade it? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | dubey: it is possible you will have to modify the script | 13:01 |
| tobiasz | but I am installing Ubuntu to some of my customers and I want them to have latest fixes and hardware support out of the box | 13:01 |
| dubey | ikonia : script ? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | dubey: apt-mirror is just perl | 13:01 |
| Nisstyre | tobiasz, that's literally impossible | 13:01 |
| vooze | I by mistake deleted the "sound menu" in the top navigation.. When i choose "add to panel" the sound menu is not there.. any ideas? | 13:01 |
| Nisstyre | thing get updated constantly | 13:01 |
| dubey | ikonia: which script ? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | apt-mirror | 13:01 |
| tobiasz | yes but there are milestones for a reason | 13:02 |
| tobiasz | it's like service pack in windoze | 13:02 |
| ikonia | tobiasz: it's called Windows | 13:02 |
| dubey | ikonia : But how can i get update of ubuntu on centos box ? | 13:02 |
| ikonia | dubey: you can use the same perl scripts from apt-mirror but they will need slight modification. | 13:02 |
| tobiasz | Ubuntu 10.04.2 just got released :) I wonder if I order ship it today am I gonna recieve that milestone :) | 13:02 |
| === Dotoff is now known as Dotted | ||
| tobiasz | or they gonna send me older cd | 13:03 |
| dubey | ikonia: can you explain me in details ? | 13:04 |
| LikesFruit | what is the command to connect to an IRC server. i thought it was /connect servername port | 13:04 |
| VxQe | /server | 13:04 |
| ikonia | dubey: use the apt-mirror script, read it, mofidy it to work on the centos platform | 13:04 |
| LikesFruit | VxQe, i should have tryed that one, thank you | 13:04 |
| dubey | ok | 13:05 |
| ruan | i've installed ubuntu 4 times and it still wont boot | 13:07 |
| tobiasz | why can't I order 10.04 from shipit just that newest version 10.10 | 13:08 |
| tobiasz | :E | 13:08 |
| tobiasz | why is Canonical promoting unstable editions so much? LTS is there for a reason | 13:09 |
| sipior | tobiasz: how about asking them, instead of us? | 13:09 |
| tobiasz | gonna try | 13:09 |
| tobiasz | can I archieve it via Launchpad (excuse me for stupid questions) | 13:09 |
| jrib | tobiasz: 10.10 isn't unstable. | 13:10 |
| tobiasz | I know it is comparing to 10.04 :P | 13:10 |
| VxQe | :/ | 13:10 |
| tobiasz | 10.04 is a serious release, and 10.10 is for enthusiasts | 13:11 |
| jrib | tobiasz: 10.04 and 10.10 are both stable releases in the sense that the packages aren't changing | 13:11 |
| ikonia | tobiasz: it still isn't unstable | 13:11 |

| ruan | uhh | 13:14 |
| ruan | not yet | 13:14 |
| VxQe | Right | 13:14 |
| VxQe | Well to do that you can do the following in terminal: | 13:15 |
| VxQe | chmod +x /path/file | 13:15 |
| ruan | i know | 13:15 |
| VxQe | Right. | 13:15 |
| VxQe | Just checking. :) | 13:15 |
| ruan | it doesnt work for me though | 13:15 |
| VxQe | Do you get an error? | 13:15 |

| === maxim is now known as Guest5408 | ||
| BluesKaj | ruan, pastebin your script | 13:15 |
| tobiasz | ikonia putting that otherwords, 10.10 is a "development release", stability is LTS, but development releases are aimed to be stable, just not with that much importance as LTS | 13:15 |
| ruan | BluesKaj: its not my script but ok, i'll paste it | 13:16 |
| jrib | tobiasz: 10.10 isn't a development release... | 13:16 |
| tobiasz | how isn't it? | 13:16 |
| VxQe | So what happens when you try to run the script? | 13:16 |
| Guest5408 | # | 13:16 |
| ikonia | tobiasz: no it's not a development drelease | 13:16 |
| ruan | it opens in gedit | 13:16 |
| ikonia | tobiasz: it's just not a Long Term Support release | 13:16 |
| jrib | tobiasz: it's a stable release. It was released in october 2010. 11.04 is the current development release, set to be released in april | 13:16 |
| VxQe | What happens when you run it in terminal though? | 13:16 |
| ruan | i'll try that | 13:17 |
| jrib | tobiasz: LTS just means a release will be supported for 3 years (5 on the server) instead of the normal 18 months | 13:17 |

| Norrlanning | Hey people :) anyone that knows how to have a custom bootscreen on a live-cd (dist) made with remastersys? as it is now I get my custom boot after I've installed the created dist. However when I just run the live-cd without install there's only the textmode ubuntulogo that shows... | 13:19 |
| tobiasz | jrib not only that :) LTS releases are also aimed to be more stable and reliable, and to encourage software developers to develop for them | 13:19 |
| ikonia | Norrlanning: we don't support custom released | 13:19 |
| ikonia | tobiasz: no, it's not, stop making things up | 13:19 |
| ikonia | tobiasz: it is not "more stable" | 13:20 |

| VxQe | ikonia is correct, sounds like tobiasz is talking about debian releases or something. | 13:20 |
| ikonia | tobiasz: you've read wrong, it is not more stable, it is just supported longer | 13:20 |
| ruan | i did "exec df" and terminal crashed | 13:20 |
| philinux | LTS is meant to be less bleading edge, hence more stable | 13:20 |
| ikonia | ruan: we heard | 13:20 |
| VxQe | ruan: that is now how you would generally run a script. | 13:20 |
| ikonia | philinux: no it's not | 13:20 |
| jrib | tobiasz: they're more conservative during the merge with debian, but both releases are stable and usable | 13:21 |
| ikonia | !lts | 13:21 |
| tobiasz | what philinux said | 13:21 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 13:21 |
| rleev | hi | 13:21 |
| VxQe | The only difference is the support years. If canonical release it as an actual release (IE not beta or RC) it's stable. | 13:21 |
| ruan | so what can i do to execute a script? | 13:21 |
| VxQe | /path/script | 13:22 |
| ikonia | ruan: what type of script ? | 13:22 |
| ruan | uhh | 13:22 |
| jrib | tobiasz, philinux: you guys are using "stable" to mean something other than what it really should mean | 13:22 |
| ruan | i'll pastebin it | 13:22 |
| ikonia | ruan: nom, | 13:22 |
| tobiasz | I always discourage people from using 10.10, and tell them to only go with LTS releases (it is not good for newcommers to change os frequently) | 13:22 |
| bazhang | !ot > tobiasz | 13:22 |
| ubottu | tobiasz, please see my private message | 13:22 |
| ikonia | ruan: just tell me what type of script | 13:22 |
| Gwar_Trolle | 10.10 keeps breaking for me | 13:22 |
| ikonia | tobiasz: stop talking nosense now | 13:22 |
| Gwar_Trolle | so I stuck with 10.04 | 13:22 |
| ruan | http://pastebin.com/L3HcPvCh | 13:22 |
| ruan | i dont know what type of script it is | 13:22 |

| novitololo | Hi, I don't have any problems on listening music in my hard disc, and no problem in watching youtube videos. However I can't listen to the sounds on youtube, or any web that reproduces video/audio. I'm using firefox/chrome, and ain't working on any of them. Any thoughts? | 13:22 |
| ikonia | ruan: what type of script is it | 13:22 |
| ruan | possibly sh | 13:23 |
| tobiasz | I promote 10.04 :P and I'll sht up now | 13:23 |
| ruan | but it has no extension | 13:23 |
| ikonia | ruan: it's a bourne shell script, so running ./scriptname in the same directory will run it | 13:23 |

| ikonia | VxQe: but is that file on a CD ? | 13:26 |
| ruan | no | 13:26 |
| ikonia | ruan: where is that file | 13:27 |
| arand | rleev: Is the contents of the filesystem vitaly important? | 13:27 |
| ruan | the file is on filesystem, my 40gb hdd | 13:27 |
| Odaym | why can't you boot, ruan? something about a swap file? | 13:27 |
| ruan | it just doesnt boot | 13:27 |
| Odaym | doesnt say something about fstab? | 13:27 |
| ikonia | ruan: why are you trying do this if you can't boot your CD | 13:27 |
| ruan | i tried reinstalling 4 times and formatting twice | 13:27 |
| ruan | i can boot my cd | 13:27 |
| rleev | arand: no not at all, i'm doing this to figure out what went wrong so I can determine what the cause may be in case it does happen on an important system | 13:27 |
| ikonia | ruan: ok, thats something you need to fix, you can't really run this from a livecd | 13:27 |
| ruan | i just cant boot off the hard drive | 13:28 |
| ruan | idk why | 13:28 |
| ruan | windows worked | 13:28 |
| Odaym | have you tried doing that thing that shows the GRUB output while booting? | 13:28 |
| Odaym | holding down Shift key | 13:28 |
| ruan | i held shift and it did nothing | 13:28 |
| Odaym | hmm | 13:28 |
| arand | rleev: I was thinking there might be options for fsck to force the checking, but I'm not certain... | 13:28 |
| Odaym | what did you do, ruan? ;) | 13:28 |
| Odaym | before this happened? | 13:28 |
| Odaym | fstab much? | 13:28 |
| ruan | uhh.. i installed it? | 13:28 |
| Odaym | didnt tamper anywhere? | 13:29 |
| ruan | nope | 13:29 |
| ruan | just a clean install | 13:29 |
| Odaym | maybe windows wiped grub | 13:29 |
| ruan | its a clean install, no windows anymore | 13:29 |
| Odaym | dual boot right? | 13:29 |
| Odaym | oh | 13:29 |
| Odaym | hmm | 13:30 |
| Odaym | this might seem trivial, but did you change the boot order back to Hard Drive in BIOS? | 13:30 |
| ruan | yes | 13:30 |
| rleev | arand: not sure... do you know of a flag set on the file system that indicates it's mounted by the system and blocks fsck from opening it? | 13:30 |
| ruan | 1 hard drive 2 cdrom 3removable | 13:30 |
| arand | rleev: If you run "mount" it should list all mounted FS | 13:31 |
| Odaym | what does "df" output, ruan? | 13:31 |
| rleev | arand: yea it's not mounted... i thought there might be a magic flag set on the file system itself, like on some magic block, to indicate the fs should not be opened by fsck | 13:31 |
| arand | rleev: And it's not a typo, so you're trying to fsck /dev/sdd or something? | 13:31 |
| ruan | df does a filesystem check.. | 13:31 |
| rleev | arand: nope, no typo | 13:32 |
| Odaym | :( | 13:32 |
| Odaym | i dont know, personally, sorry | 13:32 |
| Odaym | llutz will know, ruan | 13:32 |
| Odaym | llutz knows all | 13:32 |
| ruan | where is llutz? | 13:32 |
| Odaym | whois doesnt show his idle time | 13:32 |
| Odaym | but he is around here a lot | 13:33 |
| ruan | ok | 13:33 |
| arand | rleev: I don't know of such a flag, well I guess you could try with the -f force flag if you are certain to do it. There could be something else, but I don't know it. | 13:33 |

| arand | JokiPavac: package name is simply "irssi", use your favourite package manager | 13:35 |
| avis- | JokiPavac, sudo apt-get install irssi | 13:35 |

| IppatsuMan | Hi. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and the fglrx driver (I have a ATI HD 4550 card). X randomly crashes with a blue screen (oh, the irony!) wit light blue stripes. When that happens I can only reboot the system using alt+sys rq. /var/log/* doesn't seem to contain any interesting message that may help me tracking down what the problem is. Any suggestion to fix it? (I'd prefer to keep using the proprietary driver due to its better performances) | 13:49 |
| Lantizia | is it possible to make a link (hard, sym, whatever) that'll always use the filename of what it's linked to (if the source file is renamed)? | 13:49 |
| jrib | Lantizia: no, why do you want to? | 13:50 |
| ruan | using a script you can maintain filenames | 13:50 |
| g_ | hi, is it possible to trigger hte notification system from command line? | 13:50 |
| jrib | g_: see notify-send in the libnotify-bin package | 13:50 |
| sipior | Lantizia: you could write a wrapper which you use to rename the link target, i suppose. | 13:50 |
| Lantizia | jrib, i normally use hardlinks to do music playlists so using something like described will mean if the source audio file name changes the playlist file will too | 13:50 |
| ruan | i'd write one but im too inexperienced with sh | 13:50 |
| g_ | that's great thanks jrib | 13:50 |
| g_ | jrib: cheers, that's perfect :) | 13:51 |
| freakabcd | ok maybe i should explain in more detail | 13:51 |
| freakabcd | i have already removed lucid-bleed ppa from my sources.list | 13:51 |
| freakabcd | and now i have some packages that are installed from lucid-bleed ppa that are "newer" than the official maverick repos | 13:52 |
| jrib | Lantizia: I don't understand. You create playlists of *one* audio file by making a hard link to it? | 13:52 |
| roach | in terminal i am typing su and then my account's password, but i keep getting "Authentication failure"...is there something i am doing wrong or not understanding? | 13:52 |
| freakabcd | how do i revert pack to the versions offered by maverick ? | 13:52 |
| jrib | !sudo | roach | 13:52 |
| ubottu | roach: 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 | 13:52 |
| stianhj | roach, sudo su - | 13:52 |
| arand | freakabcd: Do you know exactly which packages? | 13:52 |
| freakabcd | arand, yes. i know exactly which packages | 13:52 |
| jrib | roach: read what ubottu sent you instead of doing « sudo su - » (do not do this) | 13:52 |
| freakabcd | arand, and i know they exist in the maverick repos as well | 13:52 |
| bazhang | stianhj, thats not right | 13:53 |
| bazhang | freakabcd, I just told you, use ppa-purge | 13:53 |
| arand | freakabcd: Go in synaptic and use the force package version (Ctrl+E) function. That can often do the trick | 13:53 |
| freakabcd | bazhang, please read fully what i type | 13:53 |
| jryda_ | Anyone help me with a cmake compilation error: Could NOT find BZip2 (missing: BZIP2_LIBRARIES BZIP2_INCLUDE_DIR) | 13:53 |
| Lantizia | jrib, no i hardlink audio files from many albums into one directory to make a playlist.... that way it's easier to copy the playlist elsewhere as it copies the music too | 13:53 |
| freakabcd | you are not answering the question | 13:53 |
| roach | ubottu, i understand what sudo does | 13:53 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 13:53 |
| sipior | freakabcd: in his defence, you're not asking it very well. | 13:53 |
| bazhang | freakabcd, I did read, and then answer is the same. | 13:54 |
| roach | what's the difference between su and sudo su- | 13:54 |
| freakabcd | sipior, really?> how was arand able to give what seems like the correct answer? | 13:54 |
| arand | freakabcd: Or if you prefer "apt-get install package=versionnumber package2+versionnumber" etc. | 13:54 |
| jrib | roach: su - tries to login as root. And you can't because the root account is locked by default. Use sudo instead | 13:54 |
| sipior | freakabcd: dumb luck, most likely. | 13:54 |
| bazhang | ppa-purge is the correct answer to your issue | 13:54 |
| ruan | i need my other hard drive | 13:55 |
| jryda_ | sudo sh - is it bad to use? | 13:55 |
| jrib | jryda_: yes, bad to use | 13:55 |
| === jon_athon is now known as Philo | ||
| jryda_ | by bad, I mean ill advised | 13:55 |
| roach | no | 13:55 |
| milamber | roach: su is basically switch user (you will need the passwd for the account) sudo su uses administrative privileges to change to that user | 13:55 |
| roach | unless you don't trust the source of the application you're trying to install | 13:55 |
| freakabcd | bazhang, lets see. ppa-purge requires me to have lucid-bleed repo in my sources.list right? | 13:55 |
| arand | bazhang: freakabcd:It is, but in my experience can be done equivalently, especially if there are only a few packages | 13:55 |
| roach | thank you milamber | 13:55 |
| freakabcd | well guess what its not there anymore! should i now add it back in before running ppa-purge? | 13:55 |
| milamber | ruan: pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l | 13:56 |
| ruan | ok | 13:56 |
| arand | freakabcd: I don't know if it does... | 13:56 |

| jryda_ | i'm using cmake to try and compile eiskaltdc++ | 13:58 |
| sipior | jryda_: you most likely just need to install libbz2-dev. | 13:58 |
| jryda_ | ahh - I thought I grabbed that. | 13:58 |
| jrib | jryda_: eiskaltdcpp is in the repositories, use the repositories | 13:58 |

| ruan | nvm | 14:01 |
| milamber | ruan: my bad, this is what i was looking for: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 14:01 |
| ruan | ok | 14:01 |
| ruan | thanks | 14:01 |
| sipior | freakabcd: you could try dropping the attitude. that'd be a pretty bright idea. | 14:02 |
| craigbass1976 | Is the ubuntu software center specific to certain flavors? I'm running Lubuntu and don't have it. | 14:02 |
| ruan | have you got synaptic? | 14:02 |
| bazhang | craigbass1976, gnome iirc | 14:02 |
| freakabcd | sipior, sure my apologies again. its just that this is very irritating | 14:02 |
| Philo | anyone know one of those cool programs that lets me watch my up and down speeds realtime? | 14:02 |
| craigbass1976 | ruan, I do, but I want to browse by category | 14:02 |
| === jordevorstenbosc is now known as _Jorde | ||
| ruan | ok | 14:03 |
| bazhang | Philo, conky | 14:03 |
| milamber | craigbass1976: what version of ubuntu? | 14:03 |
| sipior | freakabcd: i quite understand | 14:03 |
| Philo | prociate it | 14:03 |
| ruan | ^ lubuntu* | 14:03 |
| craigbass1976 | milamber, lucid. | 14:03 |
| ylmfos | thank you | 14:03 |
| bazhang | Philo, theres a great tutorial on ubuntuforums for beginners | 14:03 |
| freakabcd | so in the what is the process? i add lucid-bleed and try running ppa-purge again? | 14:03 |
| Philo | bazhang, bummer, don't have time for a tutorial this morning... | 14:04 |
| jrib | freakabcd: if for some reason you don't want to use ppa-purge, read its source and do what it does yourself (its less than 200 lines in bash). You can also mess with pinning | 14:04 |

| K|nG | Can someone send me the default of /etc/network/interfaces | 14:05 |
| jryda_ | damnit - compiling sucks. | 14:05 |
| jryda_ | how is one supposed to know these package names wihtout searching | 14:05 |
| sipior | jryda_: generally, one looks at the documentation that came with the source code you're building. | 14:05 |
| Philo | bazhang, thnks | 14:06 |
| sipior | jryda_: by looking at the libraries it requires, you can install them in advance, and not just one at a time as your build fails. | 14:06 |
| OttifantSir | A quick question: Do I need the pre-installed indicator applet programs when I have Avant Indicator Applet? | 14:06 |
| jryda_ | sipior - thanks. I just saw gettext at the very top of the readme | 14:06 |
| milamber | craigbass1976: interesting, it didn't include all the info i thought it did, but it is gnome specific. you can go to packages.ubuntu.com and search for it (software-center). bazhang is correct but teach a man to fish and all that . . . | 14:06 |

| === ahmed is now known as Guest72386 | ||
| jrib | jryda_: why don't you just use the repositories? | 14:06 |
| sipior | jrib: it's good to learn how to build source code, should the need arise. | 14:07 |
| jryda_ | jrib: I was uncertain how extensive the included repos are | 14:07 |

| jryda_ | do you use Syaptic package manager then jrib? | 14:08 |
| jrib | jryda_: yes | 14:08 |
| jryda_ | It's bit nicer than stabbing in the dark with apt-get | 14:08 |
| jryda_ | without gui | 14:08 |
| jrib | sipior: nothing wrong with learning how to compile, but learning to use the repositories first and foremost is more important imo | 14:08 |

| tim_ | hi, i have a problem with my workstation: it doesn't boot, but gives me segfaults of any program during startup ... | 14:15 |
| tim_ | when booting from a live-cd i cannot chroot to the hd either ... | 14:16 |
| tim_ | bash segfault ... | 14:16 |
| tim_ | any idea? | 14:16 |
| erUSUL | tim_: well random segfaults all over the place even fom livecd point to bad ram | 14:18 |
| erUSUL | tim_: imho | 14:18 |
| LogicallyDashing | I'm trying to make a USB bootdisk with a persistence file. I want it to be up to date with the latest packages. I tried making a regular bootdisk, booting into it, and upgrading, but this was really slow and prone to weird I/O errors. So I wonder, how can I find or make an updated iso file for ubuntu desktop 10.10? | 14:18 |
| erUSUL | tim_: run memtest from the livecd | 14:18 |
| erika | buenas mis opciones en el menu para apagar la maquina desaparecieron | 14:18 |

| induz | why hibernation is not working on my desktop ubuntu Lucid | 14:19 |
| tim_ | erUSUL: actually, booting from the same hd on a different machine causes the same segfaults | 14:19 |
| induz | by mistake i put the desktop on hibernation and i gte a black screen | 14:19 |
| tim_ | erUSUL: or chrooting | 14:19 |
| induz | it doesnt wake up | 14:19 |
| silverlightning | any brassero experienced here? | 14:19 |
| LogicallyDashing | !ask | silverlightning | 14:19 |
| ubottu | silverlightning: 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. :-) | 14:19 |
| induz | any solution for this | 14:19 |
| erika | oh crap, i'm sorry, thought it was #ubuntu-es | 14:20 |
| silverlightning | I have trouble finding a firefox download I want to burn as image | 14:20 |
| induz | if i leave the desktop for more than 10 mi the screen goes blank and it doesnt wake up by pressing any keyboard | 14:20 |
| erUSUL | tim_: the is the disk daying, anything in the logs? anyway hardware error; don't you think? | 14:20 |
| erika | my power off button disappeared when creating new user, and i can't shutdown through gdm | 14:20 |
| silverlightning | logicallydashing, are you using firefox? | 14:20 |
| erika | though i can do it with sudo shutdown -h now | 14:20 |
| tim_ | erUSUL: a 2 months old ssd ... | 14:21 |
| LogicallyDashing | silverlightning: yes, why? | 14:21 |
| silverlightning | what? | 14:21 |
| erika | i would really appreciate help, it's annoying | 14:21 |
| tim_ | erUSUL: it doesn't give me any read error or the like | 14:21 |
| tim_ | nothing in dmesg either | 14:21 |
| induz | Hibernate doesnt work on lucid | 14:21 |
| induz | or maybe I dont know how to wakup this desktop | 14:21 |
| silverlightning | the thing is, I cannot find the image I want to burn within brassero, it's not under the download file | 14:22 |
| silverlightning | folder I mean | 14:22 |
| Grav | How do i resolve this? libmagickwand-dev : Depends: libmagickwand3 (= 7:6.6.2.6-1ubuntu1) but 7:6.6.2.6-1ubuntu1.1 is to be installed | 14:22 |
| sss | What is the difference between Desktop and Netbook Ubuntu? | 14:23 |
| silverlightning | logicallydashing, has this ever happened to you? | 14:23 |
| erUSUL | tim_: well; i would say it is hardware issue. you can return the ssd as defective if it is only two months old | 14:23 |
| LogicallyDashing | sss: The menus are different. | 14:23 |
| erUSUL | sss: the gui envoirment | 14:23 |
| LogicallyDashing | silverlightning: What do you want to download? | 14:23 |
| silverlightning | another thing, I am missing a lot of drivers and plugins | 14:23 |
| tim_ | erUSUL: yes ... you're prbly right ... | 14:23 |
| azfarminhaj | hey guys | 14:24 |
| sss | erUSUL, can I use any software that I use in Desktop also in Netbook? | 14:24 |
| erUSUL | tim_: tied fscking the partitions from the livecd? | 14:24 |
| silverlightning | I have downloaded linux mint, and it's in the firefox dowload windew | 14:24 |
| faenor | silverlightning: GNU/Linux, not linux | 14:24 |
| erUSUL | sss: yes | 14:24 |
| LogicallyDashing | sss, yes, the software support is all the same | 14:24 |
| tim_ | yes ... clean | 14:24 |
| azfarminhaj | I have a question about upgrading from Lynx to Minx | 14:24 |
| ruan | " sudo cp profile file:///etc/firefox/profile " isn't working, am i doing it wrong? | 14:24 |
| azfarminhaj | uhh | 14:24 |
| silverlightning | logicallydashing, do I make any sense? | 14:24 |
| azfarminhaj | I hope not | 14:24 |
| erUSUL | ruan: in a terminal? file:///etc/firefox/profile is not a valid path | 14:24 |
| LogicallyDashing | silverlightning: why are you asking about linux mint in a channel about ubuntu? | 14:24 |
| faenor | LogicallyDashing: GNU/Linux, not linux | 14:24 |
| ruan | ah ok | 14:25 |
| azfarminhaj | it gives me the error about held packages | 14:25 |
| azfarminhaj | no, by update manager | 14:25 |
| sipior | faenor: this is not the place. | 14:25 |
| silverlightning | logicallydashing, and you are the first one who managed to find a longer nick then me ;- ) | 14:25 |
| LogicallyDashing | faenor: linux is the common name, and if I bother Richard Stallman by leaving out the "GNU" I'm okay with that | 14:25 |
| faenor | LogicallyDashing: GNU/Linux, not linux | 14:25 |
| LogicallyDashing | also I think faenor is a bot | 14:25 |
| ruan | i'll find the right path then | 14:25 |
| silverlightning | logicallydashing, I have Ubuntu as only os on my computer | 14:25 |
| silverlightning | and plan to make it work | 14:26 |
| silverlightning | ? | 14:26 |
| freakabcd | ruan, err.. file:// is followed by the absolute path, no? | 14:26 |
| silverlightning | maveric | 14:26 |
| azfarminhaj | what do I do about this: | 14:26 |
| ruan | yes | 14:26 |
| LogicallyDashing | silverlightning: well, linux mint isn't supported by the ubuntu project, so you should probably ask for help somewhere that's about linux mint | 14:26 |
| faenor | LogicallyDashing: GNU/Linux, not linux | 14:26 |
| azfarminhaj | E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks | 14:26 |
| bazhang | faenor, hi | 14:26 |
| jrib | azfarminhaj: upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10? | 14:26 |
| azfarminhaj | yes | 14:26 |

| faenor | bazhang: GNU/Linux, not linux | 14:26 |
| Senjai | ugh mysql is a pain to configure | 14:26 |
| silverlightning | logicallydashing, that doesn't make any logical sense at all, maybe emotional sense | 14:26 |
| jrib | azfarminhaj: if you have xserver-xorg-video-nouveau installed, remove it | 14:27 |
| silverlightning | I am on a ubuntu laptop now | 14:27 |
| LogicallyDashing | silverlightning: you may be on an ubuntu laptop, but you are asking for help with a different operating system, and not with ubuntu. | 14:27 |
| ruan | "bash: cd: file://etc/: No such file or directory" what is the valid path then? | 14:27 |
| silverlightning | and are to burn iso in Ubuntu Maveric, barssero | 14:27 |
| LogicallyDashing | Specifically, you are asking for help with Linux Mint. | 14:27 |
| bazhang | silverlightning, try mintsupport NOT here | 14:27 |
| LogicallyDashing | silverlightning: Well, if you want help with brasero, you should ask for help with brasero, and not with the linux mint disc image you're trying to burn. | 14:28 |
| silverlightning | logicallydashing, I am asking for help with how to burn in UbuntuMaveric | 14:28 |
| freakabcd | ruan, file:// followed by /home/ruan/Desktop/hello.txt typed into firefox will show you the contents of that text file called hello.txt on your desktop | 14:28 |
| azfarminhaj | but it's a display driver :/ | 14:28 |
| jrib | !burn > silverlightning | 14:28 |
| ubottu | silverlightning, please see my private message | 14:28 |
| bazhang | silverlightning, right click burn to disk | 14:28 |
| freakabcd | so. what is the path of that file? it is /home/ruan/Desktop/hello.txt | 14:28 |
| ruan | freakabcd: im trying to do it on terminal | 14:28 |
| ruan | freakabcd: path is /etc/firefox/profile | 14:29 |
| silverlightning | point, is I am trying to burn an isoimage in brassero, | 14:29 |
| bazhang | silverlightning, then do what I suggest. | 14:29 |
| LogicallyDashing | silverlightning: ok, what's your problem? | 14:29 |
| ruan | freakabcd: i need to copy a folder to there, but i cant use the gui because i need super user | 14:29 |
| jrib | ruan: why do you need to copy a folder there? | 14:29 |
| silverlightning | and the isoimage is stored in firefox download, and is not easy to retrieve in the brassero functions | 14:29 |
| ryniek | hi | 14:29 |
| ruan | jrib: i need to use my old windows firefox profile | 14:30 |
| Senjai | hi ryniek | 14:30 |
| freakabcd | ruan, /etc is most likely not writable by your user unless you have admin rights on the machine | 14:30 |
| LogicallyDashing | silverlightning: in the firefox download window, right click on the image. Select Open Containing Folder. | 14:30 |
| Fluttershy | silverlightning: so are you saying you lost the .iso? | 14:30 |
| LogicallyDashing | That will show you. | 14:30 |
| ruan | freakabcd: i have admin rights | 14:30 |
| ruan | freakabcd: but im not logged in as root | 14:30 |
| kermit | is there a way to be logged in to the remote desktop but still keep that desktop inaccessable at it's console? | 14:30 |
| jrib | ruan: your profile is in ~/.mozilla/firefox/ . Though whether or not you can just copy it from windows, I do not know | 14:30 |
| freakabcd | ruan, ah you want to copy your windows firefox profile ? | 14:30 |
| LogicallyDashing | kermit: sure, use vnc and not ssh | 14:30 |
| azfarminhaj | @jrib thanks a lot :D | 14:30 |
| jrib | !upgrade > azfarminhaj | 14:31 |
| ubottu | azfarminhaj, please see my private message | 14:31 |
| silverlightning | fluttershy, yes in a way, but it still is in the firefox download window, just not in the download folder when I look for it in brassero? | 14:31 |
| ruan | jrib: firefox profiles use the same format through all platforms | 14:31 |
| jrib | azfarminhaj: there's a bug link at the bottom of the 10.04 -> 10.10 upgrade page if you are interested | 14:31 |
| azfarminhaj | ok | 14:31 |
| jrib | ruan: ok then, use ~/.mozilla/firefox/ | 14:31 |
| azfarminhaj | how do I see private message in irssi? | 14:31 |
| ruan | jrib: ok i'll try that | 14:31 |
| freakabcd | ruan, cd ~/.mozilla/firefox | 14:31 |
| jryda_ | /query | 14:31 |
| Fluttershy | silverlightning: it stores it in the temporary folder if you select "open" and not "save" | 14:31 |
| jryda_ | or /msg like any client | 14:31 |
| kermit | LogicallyDashing: yeah i'm using vnc, but when i log in, the local console logs in too. | 14:32 |
| freakabcd | ruan, in there you will see a xxxxxx.default directory | 14:32 |
| LogicallyDashing | kermit: the local console just opens by itself or something? | 14:32 |
| Fluttershy | but yes, try right-clicking it in the downloads window and select open containing folder | 14:32 |
| freakabcd | within this is where you want to copy the files of your profile from the windows partition/backup/etc. | 14:32 |
| kermit | LogicallyDashing: its just as if i entered my password locally | 14:32 |
| ruan | ok now im going to copy the folder to there | 14:32 |
| adub_ | i need to sign an encryption key via command line iwconfig wlan0 key ********* is not working | 14:32 |
| LogicallyDashing | adub_: the commandline you're using is to change the key you're using to log into a wireless network. Signing an encryption key is something totally different. | 14:33 |
| ruan | uhhh | 14:33 |
| ruan | what do i use as "here"? | 14:33 |
| ruan | sudo cp Downloads/profile here | 14:33 |
| silverlightning | thanks it is working | 14:33 |
| freakabcd | ruan, could you pastebin the 'contents' of your profile dir on a pastesite? | 14:34 |
| freakabcd | just to make sure you are copying the right things | 14:34 |
| ruan | its just a folder | 14:34 |
| ruan | im copying a folder to another dir | 14:34 |
| sss | How can I make my ubuntu's partition smaller without losing files? | 14:34 |
| LogicallyDashing | ruan: to copy a folder you usually have to use cp -r and not just cp | 14:34 |
| erUSUL | adub_: iwconfig only wrks for wep. if you use wpa you have to use wpa_suplicant afaik | 14:34 |
| ruan | ok thanks | 14:34 |
| ruan | i'll try that | 14:34 |
| LogicallyDashing | sss, just use gparted like normal, if you have extra space left over it will work alright. Backup everything first! | 14:35 |
| freakabcd | yeah i know. take a screenshot or something. i want to know if you have the right stuff in there. i.e. Cache, chrome, extensions, *sqlite files, etc. | 14:35 |
| adub_ | erUSUL thanks do i need to edit a file or something | 14:35 |
| adub_ | or is there a specific command ican issue | 14:35 |
| silverlightning | fluttershy, and logicallydashing, it turned up where it should | 14:35 |
| sss | LogicallyDashing, Is all data in the start of the partition? | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | adub_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo | 14:35 |
| LogicallyDashing | sss, not exactly but gparted knows enough about your filesystem to avoid deleting anything. | 14:36 |
| freakabcd | ruan, i ask this because i do knot want you copying a directory containing your profile into ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxx.default/ as this will not work. firefox will simply ignore it | 14:36 |
| sss | LogicallyDashing, ok | 14:36 |
| LogicallyDashing | sss, that said, changing partitions *can* really mess up your filesystem | 14:36 |
| ruan | freakabcd: i know the profile format | 14:36 |
| Odaym | how do i enable roaming on my Server so i can SSH to it from outside my network using its public IP? | 14:36 |
| LogicallyDashing | Odaym: first install openssh-server, have you done that? | 14:37 |
| Odaym | yes | 14:37 |
| sss | LogicallyDashing, I'll backup. I already crashed my computer once... | 14:37 |
| freakabcd | good. then simply: cp -r ~/Desktop/winfirefoxprofile/* ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxx.default/ | 14:37 |
| Odaym | i can access it from here | 14:37 |
| Odaym | but when i go out of the house and use its public IP to ssh, it doesn't accept my password | 14:37 |
| Venin | I have ubuntu on a usb stick but want to get it on disk instead.. whats the best way of doing that? | 14:37 |
| Odaym | i did the ssh with -v Verbose, said roaming was not enabled | 14:37 |
| LogicallyDashing | Odaym: OK, then most likely your problem is with your router and not with your server. It's common for routers to not allow that type of connection. | 14:37 |
| ruan | cp: cannot create directory ` ~/.mozilla/firefox/u6q2r7r7.default': No such file or directory | 14:37 |
| ruan | quite complicated, i wish there was a root switch | 14:38 |
| LogicallyDashing | ruan: add the -P switch, to "create parents" | 14:38 |
| LogicallyDashing | ruan: so, cp -rP | 14:38 |
| ruan | same error | 14:39 |
| freakabcd | ruan, wait. the u6q2r7r7.default dir doesn;t exist? | 14:39 |
| LogicallyDashing | ruan: There is a root switch, but it wouldn't be helpful here. Also, weird. | 14:39 |
| fr00g | How do I make it so a specific user is unable to use a specific program located in /usr/bin? | 14:39 |
| jrib | ruan: you can use the gui to copy... | 14:39 |
| ruan | jrib: i need su to copy | 14:39 |
| freakabcd | ruan, if it doesn;t exist then firefox *will* ignore the profile because it doesn;t know about it! | 14:39 |
| jrib | ruan: no you don't. Not to your home | 14:39 |
| LogicallyDashing | fr00g: You can't technically do that, but you can set it so that only an arbitrary group of users can use that program. | 14:39 |
| freakabcd | ruan, do this: firefox -ProfileManager | 14:39 |
| ruan | jrib: the profile isnt stored at home | 14:39 |
| freakabcd | then create a default profile and exit | 14:39 |
| freakabcd | then put the files within that dir | 14:40 |
| fr00g | Wait, by default, each user has a group made for them, right? | 14:40 |
| freakabcd | if not firefox will simply ignore that profile as it doesn;t know about it! | 14:40 |
| fr00g | For example user fr00g belongs to group fr00g | 14:40 |
| jrib | ruan: you can't use your windows profile as a regular user? | 14:40 |
| ruan | jrib: i cant copy it | 14:40 |
| LogicallyDashing | fr00g: Well, yes... | 14:40 |
| jrib | ruan: not my question. | 14:40 |
| === Guest62797 is now known as JNZ | ||
| ruan | jrib: well i can use it, but i cant copy it so i cant determine whether i can use it | 14:40 |
| jrib | ruan: you are copying into your home. ~ means /home/username | 14:41 |
| freakabcd | ruan, (1) if the profiledir does *not* exist. there is no point creating it and putting your windows profile in there because FF *will* ignore it | 14:41 |
| balou | hi everyone, how can i make it so when I log into my remote machines (via ssh) the terminal is a different color. (i.e. reds for live, yellow for staging) | 14:41 |
| freakabcd | ruan, (2) why do you need su to copy files into your *own* home dir? | 14:41 |

| Arkwolf | my question is, how do I install KDE onto a server PC so it doesnt become a GUI and stays as a CLI | 14:49 |
| suigeneris | do you guys have an idea why I may be getting the errors at http://suigeneris.pastebin.com/xDmAedb9 ? | 14:49 |
| erUSUL | RoyK: you canmake him admin so it can use sudo with everything it wants or you can tweak sudoers so it can only run gdebi if that's what you want | 14:49 |
| yaeha | hi guys. I have a windows network (simple) and I want my linux laptop to join for sharing printer and files. I can see the Windows Network icon but can't connect | 14:49 |
| aeon-ltd | Arkwolf: X(xserver, it starts the GUIs) won#'t start if you don't start kdm (the login manager for KDE which starts X) | 14:50 |
| craigbass1976 | What's this channel called? I'm trying to look into the logs to see what someone said to me earlier | 14:50 |

| hilarie | In the system monitor, under processor time, is it MM:SS:MS? | 14:50 |
| freakabcd | Arkwolf, simply install the kubuntu-desktop metapackage and disable kdm | 14:50 |
| aeon-ltd | craigbass1976: sorry | 14:50 |
| ruan | ntfs configuration tool does nothing on launch | 14:50 |
| Arkwolf | thats not my question aeon | 14:50 |

| Arkwolf | I havent installed KDE yet | 14:50 |

| Arkwolf | i just want to know how i install it on the pc | 14:51 |
| freakabcd | and install only the packages you want | 14:51 |

| hilarie | Click on places in the upper left hand side, between applications and system | 14:51 |
| Arkwolf | i want it so when I use VNC viewer, it will auto run KDE | 14:51 |
| Arkwolf | but i havent got KDE installed yet | 14:51 |
| hilarie | @ruan then poke around there | 14:51 |
| Arkwolf | what is the command for it | 14:51 |
| Arkwolf | to install it, but not run it as default | 14:52 |
| ruan | hilarie: i cant find my ntfs drive, its not there | 14:52 |
| freakabcd | Arkwolf, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ? | 14:52 |

| uRock | am-dxing, if you can get it to boot, then you can use unetbootin to get ubuntu rocking it | 15:40 |
| Philo | erUSUL, thanks, this one keeps resetting to the beginning every time I try to move the slider | 15:40 |
| Grav | jrib: This could be true. I have disabled all updates. They always break my system | 15:40 |
| am-dxing | uRock: no, it doesn't boot from USB and has no CD drive | 15:41 |
| erUSUL | ruan: you need to use sudo or gksudo | 15:41 |
| uRock | am-dxing, you won't need either for unetbootin | 15:41 |
| am-dxing | uRock: just set the destination to HD? | 15:41 |

| bemjb | Hi all. I have a laptop (HP 8540w) with nvidia graphics, Ubuntu 10.10. The video switching button (fn-f4) just gives an error message about not being able to set the mode. I can set the mode with a script (disper/auto-disper), but I don't know the proper way to get a script mapped to the button. There is no mapping in the keyboard prefs for it, and it doesn't cause an ACPI event it looks like it is handled by gnome-settings-daemon, tho | 15:44 |

| Lantizia | are there any tools that can copy files... but can handle copying from a linux filesystem to a dos one correctly? (as in deal with symbols a dos filesystem can't handle) | 16:18 |

| sivang | is there an ubuntu tablet with touch support already? | 16:20 |
| Logan_WP | !attitude | MrMintanet2 | 16:20 |
| ubottu | MrMintanet2: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 16:20 |
| tsimpson | Indeede: libsfml-audio1.6 is the one in maverick | 16:20 |
| uRock | MrMintanet2, you haven't made many yourself | 16:20 |
| MrMintanet2 | uRock, That's because a vast majority of you are smug. | 16:21 |
| Logan_WP | sivang: the last time I checked, no, I do not think there is a mass-market Ubuntu tablet | 16:21 |

| sacarlson | Lantizia: for one what dos format are you talking about fat16? fat32?, ntfs? what files are you playing with? | 16:21 |
| MrMintanet2 | juk, Got it, thanks though. | 16:22 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, all of them fat16/32/ntfs... every day files that include chars like : and \ | 16:22 |
| Indeede | thanks | 16:22 |
| sivang | Logan_WP: I just want a proper tablet UX for my ideapad | 16:22 |
| sivang | Logan_WP: is there something for it? | 16:22 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: do they need to be opened in dos? or can they just be tar'ed and moved there? | 16:22 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, they need to be opened in dos/windows yes | 16:23 |
| Indeede | what happens when 1.5 is listed as a dependency, will the install fail? | 16:23 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: well there are tools to rename files like pyrename if file names are your only problem | 16:24 |
| marchingknight11 | can someone help me get my nvidia graphics driver working on 10.10 | 16:24 |
| tsimpson | Indeede: it will probably fail, yes | 16:24 |
| DaGeek247 | bye | 16:25 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, i don't want something to rename my original files... i want something that can copy my files and handle naming the destination file appropriately for the filesystem it's going to | 16:25 |
| Hotmedal | 10.04 here and strage problem: windows become unresponsive to mouse by varying degrees, alt+tab doesn't work, along with other window switching key combos | 16:25 |
| MrMintanet2 | Does anyone experience a problem with Pandora over Adobe AIR? I have a strange black box at the bottom of my window, and it drives me crazy! | 16:26 |
| marchingknight11 | anyone have help with nvidia graphics driver for 10.10 | 16:26 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: well again you don't say what type of file or application you are playing with, why not just tell the originator not to use those symbols | 16:26 |
| Hotmedal | but inside the window, everything works fine | 16:26 |
| juk | ask | marchingknight11 | 16:26 |
| juk | !ask | marchingknight11 | 16:26 |
| ubottu | marchingknight11: 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. :-) | 16:26 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, and again your missing the point, it doesn't matter what type of file or what application opens them... the files are named the way they are and that is that | 16:27 |
| MrMintanet2 | marchingknight11, Click System, Administration, Third Party Drivers, and see if your video card shows up. | 16:27 |
| NielsMkn | erm what?! | 16:27 |
| bilig | Hello, Ubuntu netbook 10.10 on HP mini, I need to disable touchpad while typing any one knows how to do that? | 16:27 |

| uRock | NielsMkn, this channel is for people seeking help not memes | 16:28 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, lets say the file is called... "File: sacarlson is 'missing' \the\ point" which is perfectly valid on Linux... on windows it's not due to the :, the ', and the \... I want something that can copy that file to a dos/win filesystem and appropriately deal with the issue | 16:28 |
| marchingknight11 | mrmintanet2: there is no system>administratio>third party drivers | 16:28 |
| tsimpson | NielsMkn: this is the official Ubuntu support channel, the omg ones are not | 16:28 |
| NielsMkn | lol | 16:28 |
| NielsMkn | ah I see | 16:28 |
| Hotmedal | so... no takers for weird problem? | 16:28 |
| MrMintanet2 | marchingknight11, Sorry. "Additional Drivers". Not "Third Party" | 16:28 |
| MrMintanet2 | It's the first thing that lists in the menu when you click "Administration" | 16:28 |

| firekraag | T'/quit | 16:29 |
| MrMintanet2 | Hotmedal, Reboot your computer. | 16:29 |
| Hotmedal | I do that EVERY TIME it happens | 16:29 |
| marchingknight11 | mrmintanet2: i get nvidia accelerated graphics driver. when i install it and reboot, i get only a command prompt, no gnome | 16:29 |
| MrMintanet2 | marchingknight11, Do you have google handy? | 16:30 |
| marchingknight11 | yes | 16:30 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: well you would need to rename it since the symbols are part of the file name. maybe you need this tool too rename back again to it's original. so maybe just package it inside a tar file that still supports the filename structure it started from | 16:30 |
| humbolt | why bothering to create yet another window manager | 16:30 |
| MrMintanet2 | marchingknight11, It would be best to use it. There are about 20 different guides that explain how to do this step-by-step. | 16:30 |
| humbolt | this is such a stupid move | 16:30 |
| bilig | MrMintanet2, well i have searched on google and some people have been talking about this, they say go to System>Preferences ... but i cant find System>Preferences anywhere | 16:30 |
| marchingknight11 | mrmintanet2: and ive tried them all | 16:30 |
| humbolt | while of course, the wayland move makes a lot of sense | 16:31 |
| uRock | !google | MrMintanet2 | 16:31 |
| Lantizia | sacarlson, i don't want a tar! | 16:31 |
| ubottu | MrMintanet2: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 16:31 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: there are many things to package a file or just a tool to rename your choice | 16:31 |
| humbolt | however, Linux is a really bad development environment. Things move to quickly and nerver become stable | 16:31 |

| Lantizia | sacarlson, and such a tool isssss? oh look were back at my question :P | 16:32 |
| MrMintanet2 | You guys are way too sensitive. | 16:32 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: well not hard to write a bash file with sed to do it | 16:32 |
| marchingknight11 | and you have yet to say a helpful word | 16:32 |
| Logan_WP | MrMintanet2: if you continue to criticize us, you will be kicked from this channel | 16:32 |

| calculatelinux | hello | 16:35 |
| calculatelinux | I am ubuntu user :P | 16:35 |
| sacarlson | Lantizia: I have an idea for your script make a directory for dos that is just sym links of the dos format that your bash file will translate to the linux/mac/bsd format in another directory that keeps the files | 16:35 |
| researcher1 | its so nice that there are so many helpful perosns | 16:35 |
| calculatelinux | I need information how to get information about network traffic | 16:35 |
| NielsMkn | This is madness! | 16:36 |

| Lantizia | sacarlson, I'm just going to make a wrapper for cp but the point of me asking was to see if such a tool ALREADY EXISTED! to prevent me from remaking what has likely already been made | 16:37 |

| Hotmedal | I have an on-topic question ... | 16:38 |

| novoid | MrMintanet2: Oh I am familiar with cfdisk and dd but I do think that this process is pretty complicated. Take a look at grml.org. They need one single dd and that is it. I am using Debian GNU/Linux to create the Ubuntu-Stick. I also found debs of this usb-creator-gtk but it does not work at all :-( | 16:53 |

| juk | !stable | 17:17 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. | 17:17 |
| MrMintanet2 | novoid, Obviosuly there isn't some "black magic" going on here. You obviously have a bigger problem going on... Are you sure your system is configured to boot to USB devices properly in the BIOS? | 17:17 |
| madwill | ok i got it ;) | 17:17 |
| UbuN2 | yep MrMintanet2 port 80 | 17:17 |

| stianhj | sre-su, as a minimum to install it, yes. but if you're going to install some stuff, you should have much more space | 17:45 |

| Abinadi | !VirtualBox | 18:25 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 18:25 |

| BlueEagle | minimec: Alteast that's what I've thought. | 18:29 |
| andycc | minimec, take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input | 18:29 |

The hard drive is only 5% full, so I really have no idea what could be making my computer so | 18:40 |
| PetePorty | slow. Any ideas about what's causing it, or ways to fix it? (I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, rebooted several times, my RAM is 2GiB, disk space 300Gb, my processor is Intel Core 2 Duo, and my video card is nVIDIA GForce 9500 with the latest drivers installed. | 18:40 |
| Frenk | Hey, can anyone helm me to manage the following: I want my PC to connect to the Internet via a VPN Server. I have OpenVPN already on my laptop - what do I have to do on the server? | 18:40 |
| PoohBah | I have been away from Linux for several years. To do a dual boot install, do I need to repartition my drive or does the install process take care of this now? | 18:40 |
| Abinadi | Malkavian_: try here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/elib/1.0-11.1 | 18:41 |
| pp7 | <PetePorty> what does it say when u run top? | 18:41 |
| JSong | hi | 18:41 |
| PetePorty | PoohBah: It asks you during the install how you're going to manage the partitions, and you can edit it from there. | 18:41 |
| JSong | I am trying ot upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 LTS.. I am told I need to first upfgrade to 9.10 | 18:41 |
| PoohBah | So will teh current installer repartition the disk? | 18:41 |
| JSong | What is the command to get me to 9.10 when I am in 8.04? | 18:42 |
| PoohBah | Or must i do that outside of the install process? | 18:42 |
| juk | !upgrade | JSong | 18:42 |

| === apetro is now known as AndrewPetro | ||
| JSong | juk: will this get me from 8.04 to 9.10? | 18:42 |
| Abinadi | PoohBah: the installer will create partitions for you or offer to format the whole disk | 18:42 |
| genii-around | Thats a pretty high load average | 18:42 |
| PoohBah | So it will shrink a NTFS partition to make room for the install? | 18:43 |
| PoohBah | Wubi will do this? | 18:43 |
| replicasex | I know the unity 2d is experimental and all, and it's not done anything to mess my system up, I just wish I could play around with a version of Unity before 11.04 comes out. I actually really like it. | 18:43 |
| JSong | Will !upgrade .. upgrade my 8.04 to 9.10? or try to go firect to 10.04LTS? | 18:43 |
| Malkavian_ | Abinadi: eglibc is the embedded glib, I need the sources for the "normal" glibc | 18:43 |
| PetePorty | PoohBah: You can do it during the install. | 18:43 |
| juk | JSong: no, first to 9.10 | 18:44 |
| PetePorty | PoohBah: Oh, you mean Wubi... | 18:44 |
| Abinadi | PoohBah: yes it will, but if you're using windows I would be absulutely certain that you have defragged your disk and then use the diskmanagement tool there to grow or shrink your drive partitions BEFORE you do the Maverick install | 18:44 |
| JSong | juk: when i type !upgrade it does nothing saying event not found | 18:44 |
| PoohBah | on a couple year old dell vostro laptop should i install the netbook version or the desktop? | 18:44 |
| juk | JSong: why would it? | 18:44 |
| Abinadi | Malkavian_: sorry then. I searched and could only find what I pasted in here for you | 18:44 |
| JSong | juk: so do I type !upgrade on the command line? | 18:45 |
| PetePorty | So... Anyone has any idea as to why I would be getting severe slowdowns? | 18:45 |

| PetePorty | So... Anyone has any idea as to what to do with the slowness other than "reinstalling the OS"? | 18:51 |
| Ceno3x | thangavel_: the paste is no longer there, the link is broken | 18:51 |

| juk | JSong: apt-get dist-upgrade has? | 18:52 |
| pp7 | <PetePorty> i would reinstall | 18:52 |
| jrm_ | thangavel_, you have to add using namespace std just before you declaration | 18:52 |
| JSong | juk: is that the command to upgrade from command prompt? | 18:52 |
| PetePorty | pp7: For real? I'm so tired of setting everything up again... | 18:52 |

| tuzlo | probably just moving files from the server to the phone, mostly audio | 18:59 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: One has a really small blue one and a red one with hugee spikes; the other one has 2 constant lines, one teal and one green. Teal is 1/3 of the whole square, while blue is 1/6. | 19:00 |
| === richard is now known as Guest53213 | ||
| Ceno3x | PetePorty: Ok good one. The blue line is your CPU usage. The red one is IO, meaning mostly disk access. The green is your memory usage | 19:00 |
| danyR_ | tuzlo, install libimobiledevice (libimobiledevice.org , they've updated packages in a PPA) and then Banshee | 19:01 |
| danyR_ | in my experience, iOS 4.2.1 w/ 3GS works just fine for music | 19:01 |
| danyR_ | (and I can browse filesystem trough nautilus) | 19:01 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: Ok, red just went crazy and is using all the sqare. | 19:01 |
| tuzlo | ok, I have a 3Gs | 19:01 |
| Ceno3x | PetePorty: So you have huge red spikes? That means huge spikes of disk activity, that's why your system is slow. Try doing something and see how the red line behaves, if red is high, the system is waiting for the disk and hence it stops | 19:01 |
| Ceno3x | PetePorty: Right, so something (a program, or maybe several) is using the disk like crazy and making your system freeze. | 19:02 |
| brunn | hey | 19:03 |
| danyR_ | tuzlo, do you need further guidance on installing libimobiledevice/banshee? | 19:03 |
| thrain][ | I would like to see a list of packages available for update. How would I do that with apt (from the command line)? | 19:03 |
| tuzlo | danyR_, is this packaged? | 19:03 |
| brunn | can somewone help me | 19:03 |
| brunn | i have problem | 19:04 |
| brunn | installing wine | 19:04 |
| Fluttershy | what's your problem, exactly? | 19:04 |
| stianhj | thrain][, sudo apt-get upgrade ? | 19:04 |
| Ceno3x | PetePorty: can you run free in a terminal and see if any swap is being used? You can also tell this by looking at the green graph but you said you were a noob so... | 19:04 |
| brunn | i have estobuntu | 19:04 |
| alex_k | i need help with the login screen | 19:04 |
| ruan | yes, sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:04 |
| tuzlo | seems its already installed | 19:04 |
| brunn | i try that | 19:04 |
| alex_k | whenever i log in from sleep mode, i have to enter my password twice | 19:05 |
| tuzlo | but it wont mount the device | 19:05 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: Well, all I'm running is Quassel, the system monitor and a terminal with top; although once in the past I had problems with the alternative to compiz (I think it's called metacity or something?) | 19:05 |
| thrain][ | Ah, I see. Thanks both of you | 19:05 |
| stianhj | alex_k, me too! started happening recently | 19:05 |
| Fluttershy | brunn: have you tried 'sudo apt-get install wine'? | 19:05 |
| brunn | yes | 19:05 |
| alex_k | stianhj: do you know how to fix it? | 19:05 |
| ruan | tried a reinstall of wine? | 19:05 |
| brunn | that tells me .. | 19:05 |
| Fluttershy | brunn: what happens when you try it? | 19:05 |
| brunn | sec | 19:05 |
| danyR_ | tuzlo, please mention me, it's too much noise here. | 19:05 |
| Ceno3x | PetePorty: turn off system monitor, that's a disgraceful cpu hog. What's Quassel? Can you tell me the swap thing or do you need more guidance? | 19:06 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: Total 6142972 Used 0 | 19:06 |
| stianhj | alex_k, have no idea. probably a recent update that broke something? which version of ubuntu are you running? | 19:06 |
| ruan | lol, used 0 | 19:06 |
| tuzlo | yeah, gonna have to put this on hold have to go get my daughter, thanks danyR_ I will loook you up in an hour or so | 19:06 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: Quassel is the IRC client I use. | 19:06 |
| Fluttershy | Ceno3x: IRC client... | 19:06 |
| alex_k | stianhj: 10.04 lts | 19:06 |
| amiltner | heyo | 19:06 |
| brunn | he show me like i want to install older wine | 19:06 |
| stianhj | alek_k, same here. i have 10.04 LTS on my work machine, where it happens.. on my home machine i have 10.10, where it doesn't happen | 19:07 |
| brunn | but i have 1.13.3 | 19:07 |
| Ceno3x | PetePorty: hm, so no swap, barelly any programs running, huge I/o spikes. something's up. indeed | 19:07 |
| Fluttershy | brunn: so you have an older version of wine installed and you're trying to install a newer version? | 19:07 |
| stianhj | Ceno3x, have you tried iotop? like top but for IO | 19:07 |
| Ceno3x | stianhj: yeah, that's what I was gonna say, iotop is a bit shit, but maybe in this case it can help | 19:08 |
| JSong | I am getting this error. does it mean the packages are not available? http://s2plmirror01.prod.sdl2.secureserver.net/ubuntu/dists/lucid-security/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz | 19:08 |
| JSong | 404 Not Found | 19:08 |
| stianhj | Ceno3x, yeah, you'll be able to see if something is really wrong i guess | 19:08 |
| Ceno3x | PetePorty: Can you install iotop and run it? "sudo apt-get install iotop", and then run "iotop" | 19:08 |
| brunn | flutter just a sec i go to another cpu | 19:08 |
| stianhj | JSong, that mirror might be missing that package, yes | 19:08 |
| stianhj | JSong, or rather the package list | 19:09 |
| JSong | stianhj: so how can i then upgrade the OS from 8.04 to 9.10? | 19:09 |
| stianhj | Is there a fix for Intel wifi cards in 10.10 yet? There was a problem with 802.11n networks.. | 19:09 |
| stianhj | JSong, find a different mirror | 19:09 |
| stianhj | JSong, 8.04 is pretty old now.. why not do a clean install of 10.10? | 19:09 |
| erUSUL | stianhj: try newer drivers « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-$(lsb_release -cs)-generic » | 19:09 |
| JSong | stianhj: this command ran it automatically: sudo do-release-upgrade | 19:10 |
| JSong | stianhj: it is a dedicated hosted server and i do not have access to physical cd rom... also I cannot go to 10.04 directly | 19:10 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: Ok. | 19:10 |
| stianhj | erUSUL, thanks.. have 10.04 on my work machine, so don't want to mess with it too much (can i install that driver while on a livecd/usb)? | 19:10 |
| JSong | stianhj: must ggo to 9.10 first then from there to 10.04 | 19:10 |

| Prajjwal | aguitel: Seriously? | 19:11 |
| JSong | stianhj: i do not have physical access to the server it is in AZ and I am in PA | 19:11 |
| Odaym | i know this is completely offtopic, and i've posted it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:11 |
| stianhj | dmradford, how did you install VirtualBox? | 19:11 |
| JSong | stianhj: so I have to do this over the network | 19:11 |
| Odaym | but do any of you guys know a website where i can host for free? | 19:12 |
| stianhj | dmradford, if you didn't.. use the .deb file from the virtualbox site | 19:12 |
| Prajjwal | JSong: Umm, so theres absolutely no way you can upgrade? | 19:12 |
| Odaym | or does my UbuntuOne account allow me to host a page there where it can be accessed from outside? | 19:12 |
| stianhj | JSong, can you VNC to it? you can change the mirror from GUI | 19:12 |
| dmradford | stianhj, I didn't, I used sudo apt-get install.... I'll try it with the .deb file. | 19:13 |
| JSong | stianhj: how do i install vnc? | 19:13 |
| Prajjwal | Odaym: Host what for free? | 19:13 |
| stianhj | JSong, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC | 19:13 |
| Odaym | just one page | 19:14 |
| Odaym | but i want to be able to choose my domain as well | 19:14 |
| Odaym | these services can't be for free, haha | 19:14 |
| stianhj | JSong, and then you can change the mirror in the Software Sources tool (System > Administration > Software Sources) | 19:15 |

| alienkid10 | that you installed in live? | 19:19 |
| ruan | i think so | 19:19 |
| Jezzz | Ceno3x, I have system monitor open. Not sure what I'm looking for. | 19:19 |
| alienkid10 | what if I added new repos or uninstalled some stuff? | 19:19 |
| Jezzz | ruan, there are lots of log files here. Should I look in a particular one? | 19:19 |
| wasabi1 | Howdy. What's the latest most preferred way to do IPSEC on Ubuntu. I'd really like something that could use Kerberos with IKEv2. | 19:20 |
| Ceno3x | Jezzz: I said the gnome applet, I use it to monitor my system. My point is that when your system locks up, it's a different thing if it's blocking on IO or blocking on high CPU usagef | 19:20 |
| ruan | Jezzz: well, the filenames should help | 19:20 |
| JSong | stianhj: it says to set release-upgrades to lts inside the doc. if I set it to "normal" will it then try other servers? | 19:21 |
| Jezzz | Ceno3x, sorry. I don't know what the gnome applet is. | 19:21 |
| alienkid10 | if I added a new repo to sources.lst and uninstalled some software in a live session will the new repo be in the install when I install from live and will it not install what I removed? | 19:21 |
| Ceno3x | Jezzz: lol you had bad timing, I just explained this not 10minutes ago to some other guy | 19:22 |
| stianhj | JSong, it chooses a server close to you when you install.. i don't think it changes location of the mirror (i might be wrong though).. | 19:22 |
| Jezzz | :/ | 19:22 |
| stianhj | JSong, you can probaly just manually edit the sources.list file | 19:22 |
| thunkee | any hint to get connected to my default wlan ap after boot/login ... manually it works without probs? | 19:23 |
| JSong | where would i ifind that and what other s2plmirror site list can be found? | 19:23 |
| stianhj | JSong, check out /etc/apt/sources.list | 19:23 |
| stianhj | JSong, maybe | 19:23 |
| blag | im trying to build the ubuntu maverick kernel from git, but it keeps telling me to run "make mrproper", which blows out the debian/ directory, which means the command "fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic" from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel fails. how do I build a .deb file of the ubuntu kernel by just using make? | 19:24 |
| JSong | stianhj: i found it.. now how do i find the source directorys? | 19:24 |
| Browser | Hi | 19:25 |
| Browser | x) | 19:25 |
| stianhj | JSong, you mean list of other mirrors? | 19:25 |
| JSong | stianhj: yes for 9.10 version | 19:26 |
| JSong | stianhj: or just mirrors in general i guess | 19:26 |
| eXpLoD | how can i fix my broken flash plugin?tinychat looks weird i can't even do spacebars in it | 19:26 |
| stianhj | JSong, why not use the standard ubuntu one | 19:27 |
| JSong | stianhj: well the one that cames with it gave me an erro stating the packages were not found and error 4040 | 19:28 |

| Abinadi | ikonia, ok...so I have to go install it from my repository now? | 19:30 |
| stianhj | eXpLoD, how is your flash plugin broken? | 19:31 |
| ikonia | Abinadi: you've added a repo, you can now install software from that repo | 19:31 |
| eXpLoD | tinychat shows weird,if i wanna do a blank character(spacebar)it just scrolls the page down | 19:31 |

| malex | I maintain a Ubuntu package archive for an upstream project. recently some of the archive users started mentioning that their package manager complains that the repository server does not use changelogs. Since I don't run Ubuntu I am not sure where to find the relevant docs. | 19:32 |

| Abinadi | ikonia, if you're still here. could you tell me how to find this repository? I'm searching all over the place and the package manager doesn't show "lorenzo-carbonell/atarea" anywhere | 19:38 |

| Lantizia | Hey I've got some videos, most are 700x480 but some slightly differing heights of 696 or 704, etc... except for that they're encoded identically. All play fine on a windows box... but the ones with 700 height on totem (or vlc) look distorted like their going diagonally... so since vlc doesn't use gstreamer like totem does... i figure the issue is further back... any ideas where or how to debug this? | 19:45 |
| trism | pareli: in gconf-editor, possibly /apps/nm-applet/disable-connected-notifications, disable-disconnected-notifications | 19:45 |

| trism | JetBoyJetGirl: the command is Ctrl [ not ctrl - | 19:46 |
| Chousuke | Gulfstream: usb card? that sounds bad. | 19:46 |
| Chousuke | Gulfstream: is it adsl or what? | 19:46 |
| Gulfstream | Chousuke: it is a USB wireless adapter | 19:46 |
| JetBoyJetGirl | ahh lol, thanks trism | 19:46 |
| Abinadi | Gulfstream, I had the same problems but it had nothing to do with my card. I had to tweak firefox a bit to speed things up | 19:46 |
| Gulfstream | it is supposed to be high speed internet | 19:46 |
| Chousuke | Gulfstream: well wireless is wireless. checked the signal? | 19:47 |
| Gulfstream | Abinadi: it is system-wide, not just firefox. | 19:47 |
| JetBoyJetGirl | thanks for the help guys | 19:47 |
| stianhj | Lantizia, isn't this more of a video codec question than an ubuntu question? | 19:47 |
| Gulfstream | Chousuke: The signal is anywhere from full to 1 bar (slowest on 1 bar), but I never move the computer. | 19:47 |
| Lantizia | stianhj, no because vlc uses libvlc and totem uses gstreamer... so I don't think it's a codec issue... possibly a video issue maybe? | 19:47 |
| Chousuke | Gulfstream: also, is the driver for that thing a binary blob? :P | 19:47 |
| feanorii | gs: which part of your network conn gets slow? | 19:48 |
| montezuma | hi@all | 19:48 |
| Gulfstream | Chousuke: the driver was installed in some weird way... I think it was a binary blob | 19:48 |
| montezuma | i have a problem with Cairo-dock | 19:48 |
| stianhj | Lantizia, that's what I meant.. that it's an issue with the video file (the encoding of said file) perhaps | 19:48 |
| montezuma | http://gbimg.org/p.php?q=q5cw8 | 19:48 |
| ymonir | when i a theme- it installing - but still tells me ( this theme will not look as intended because the required icons are not installed ) any help ? | 19:48 |
| montezuma | look at hte comment | 19:48 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: [jhb2/sda1-8] And Quassel are the 2 things that range from 0% to 99.9%. Quassel is my IRC client, but I have no idea what the other thing might be... | 19:48 |
| Lantizia | stianhj, no because I have already stated the files work fine on a windows box | 19:48 |
| Chousuke | Gulfstream: hm, then your best bet probably would be to buy some working hardware. the most likely explanation is that the adapter just sucks. | 19:48 |
| Starminn | Is there a reason flash is so laggy in Firefox? I've been using Firefox for everything except for Flash which I switch to Chrome for. I know it's not my system because Flash==good in Chrome, and I'm pretty sure it's not Firefox because I don't hear many complaints about it, but does anybody have any ideas? I know it runs slower in Linux than Windows (I used Firefox for Flash in Windows) because Linux isn't an Adobe priority, but still | 19:48 |
| stianhj | ymonir, find the icon pack that's used in the theme.. it shoud say where you downloaded the theme (and in appearances -> custom) i think | 19:49 |
| Ceno3x | PetePorty: you're still there? I thought you'd left | 19:49 |
| montezuma | main-dock is right on right side sub dock is wrong there (left) should be righz | 19:49 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: It just finished installing... As I said, I lag a lot. :P | 19:49 |
| Gulfstream | Chousuke: it worked well on Windows, and it worked when I had the CD for it to work on ndiswrapper. and maybe it might have worked better on 10.04, but I am on 9.10 now. | 19:49 |
| montezuma | any one having an idea? | 19:49 |
| stianhj | Starminn, i think chrome runs it's own version of flash (check the versions?) | 19:49 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: Also, I did timeout once, but I have it on auto rejoin. | 19:49 |
| Chousuke | Gulfstream: I guess the driver for it is crap then | 19:50 |
| Coffeholikas | http://developer.ubuntu.com/create/qt/ could anyone translate word "soon"? | 19:50 |
| PetePorty | ^_^ | 19:50 |
| Chousuke | Gulfstream: that happens with such hardware | 19:50 |
| Ceno3x | PetePorty: could it be quassel freaking out? you can join us via http://webchat.freenode.net/ | 19:50 |
| Gulfstream | Chousuke: I guess so then... | 19:50 |
| Starminn | stianhj: How might I go about that? | 19:51 |
| montezuma | sub dock is there, if main dock would be left (Mainscreen) | 19:51 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: I use that when I go on liveCD, but quassel has a ton of stuff that makes it much, much better. | 19:51 |
| PetePorty | Ceno3x: Also, I fear my HDD might be screwed... :( | 19:51 |
| Chousuke | Gulfstream: you might be able to find the windows drivers on the internet and setup ndiswrapper again, if it really works better. | 19:51 |
| stianhj | Starminn, start a video in youtube, right-click -> about flash plugin | 19:51 |
| MIH1406 | Hi, which connection type is faster? HTTP or FTP? | 19:52 |
| Chousuke | MIH1406: shouldn't matter, but I'd prefer http | 19:52 |
| Ceno3x | PetePorty: I'm not saying stop using Quassel, I was saying stop using it for a moment and see if it's causing the problems. It might be the HDD also | 19:52 |
| MIH1406 | I am uploading large files. (I know this is not the right place) But I only use IRC to chat abou Ubuntu | 19:52 |
| stianhj | MIH1406, yeah, shouldn't matter | 19:52 |
| Chousuke | hmm for uploading http is a bit weird | 19:53 |
| stianhj | MIH1406, if you're uploading large files, FTP would be easier | 19:53 |
| Chousuke | but honestly you shouldn't use ftp either | 19:53 |
| Chousuke | use sftp (ssh) or something | 19:53 |
| Starminn | stianhj: Yes, Chrome appears to use a newer version of Flash than Firefox. Any way to manually update Firefox's or is it best to just wait it out? | 19:53 |
| numberto | I cannot open code.google.com and m.gmail.com (all other sites are opening) | 19:53 |
| MIH1406 | sftp? | 19:53 |
| MIH1406 | is it faster | 19:53 |
| Gulfstream | Chousuke: it isn't *terrible*, I just have to reboot when it disconnects... it feels a lot like how Maverick did | 19:53 |
| MIH1406 | ? or you mean safer? | 19:53 |
| xangua | Starminn: sudo apt-get update , to check if there is a new version aviable | 19:53 |
| Chousuke | MIH1406: ssh should be safer at least | 19:53 |
| stianhj | Starminn, the flash version firefox uses is the one in the ubuntu repositories.. so you could probably find a ppa with the new beta version or something. or manually change them | 19:54 |
| montezuma | any ideas about my cairo problem? | 19:54 |
| numberto | Plus I can check my email (gmail) with curl from terminal, but my browser just gives could not connect to server | 19:54 |
| Chousuke | MIH1406: and ftp won't really be any faster with modern computers. | 19:54 |

| stianhj | MIH1406, your internet connection is what affects your speed not, ftp vs http | 19:54 |
| RandomCake_ | what can I do? :( | 19:54 |
| stianhj | Random832, can you run the nvidia-xconfig tool? | 19:55 |

| daveluke | how can i completely remove python and reinstall? | 19:55 |
| PeterPorty | Ceno3x: Ok, closed Quassel... Now this and the [jbd2/sda1-8] thing are using up the 100% | 19:55 |
| daveluke | according to the people in #python, i royally f'd my python | 19:55 |
| Starminn | xangua: Now is there a way to upgrade it after having updated the available software? sudo apt-get upgrade I assume? | 19:55 |
| RandomCake_ | yeah, after logging out and in or rebooting i'm in the same place | 19:55 |
| PeterPorty | Ceno3x: So that would make it my HDD, right? :( | 19:55 |
| Starminn | stianhj: Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. :) | 19:56 |
| Ceno3x | PeterPorty: that jbd2 thing...... I've seen it before man, but I can't remember what it is | 19:56 |
| dimmortal | MIH1406: I am uploading to Hotfile.com <<< do you really think this is the right place to be asking this stuff.. why hotfile... why not use torrent?? | 19:56 |
| stianhj | Starminn, you can find newer versions of the libflashplugin.so file (which is the plugin itself) and put it in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins (overwriting the other one) or in .mozilla/plugins (which i think is the correct way of doing it) | 19:56 |
| Ceno3x | PeterPorty: If I were in your shoes, I'd google jbd, see what comes up, then run an HDD test | 19:56 |
| RandomCake_ | stianhj: after commenting out the 'nvidia' device I'm able to start x again | 19:57 |

| gohan4748 | #fun | 19:59 |
| stianhj | Starminn, i _think_ if you put it in ~/.mozilla/plugins, it'll use that one.. but when the repos update, you can just remove that file, and it'll use the /usr/lib one which ubuntu installs | 19:59 |
| tf2ftw | PI_314, there are web site monitoring services | 19:59 |
| === mathias is now known as Guest48781 | ||
| PI_314 | tf2ftw, do you have an example? | 19:59 |
| Starminn | Abinadi: Flash support. It is noticably faster on my system and I could take a video or something if you like. :) I promise you, though, that for ME, anyway, that is the case. I understand it is not a universal occurence though. | 20:00 |

| Abinadi | Starminn, ok, I believe you, I'm just saying that out of the gate chrome wasn't faster than ff on my system. But that being said...I haven't tried to load any videos either. Maybe I should try youtube or something? | 20:03 |

For Flash-based games though (namely all of the Facebook games I play, i.e. Farmville-style games (though I don't play FarmVille) is where I experience that problem at. | 20:05 |

| rone | Hi folks. I'm trying to run sudo -s "ls -l /etc/hosts" and I get "/bin/bash: ls -l /etc/hosts: No such file or directory"... any ideas what's going wrong? This error occurs on a 9.04 machine but seems to work correctly on my 10.04 machine. | 20:07 |
| daveluke | updatedb and locate are not commands | 20:07 |
| rone | err.. 10.10 machine | 20:07 |
| stianhj | rone, /etc/hosts is a file | 20:08 |
| rone | right.. it is | 20:08 |
| rone | it exists, i verified | 20:08 |
| stianhj | rone, so cat, not ls | 20:08 |
| daveluke | ^@tf2ftw | 20:08 |
| Abinadi | Anywayz....Can someone tell me why I would not see one of the NTFS partitions on my system. I can see all the others, but the NTFS partitition is one of two that I set up as data partitions. | 20:08 |
| tf2ftw | daveluke, you dont see /etc/python/python2.6 ? are you sure it installed? | 20:08 |
| stianhj | rone, ls lists files in a folder.. /etc/hosts is not a folder.. | 20:09 |
| rone | stianhj: Any operation reports the same... I just want to see permissions here not read it. | 20:09 |
| daveluke | tf2ftw, just the file (or dir) debian_config | 20:09 |
| Starminn | Abinadi: I assume it's mounted? | 20:09 |
| stianhj | rone, ls -l /etc/ | 20:09 |
| rone | stianhj: Not true, try "sudo -s ls -l /etc/hosts" | 20:09 |
| rone | stianhj: On 10.10 it shows permissions of that explicit file. | 20:09 |
| tf2ftw | daveluke, oh sorry i mean, /etc/pyton2.6 | 20:09 |
| daveluke | tf2ftw, no but i have python2.5 | 20:10 |
| stianhj | rone, you're right.. | 20:10 |
| rone | stianhj: My belief is there's something funny going on with sudo here.. | 20:10 |
| daveluke | oh | 20:10 |
| stianhj | rone, i can run ls -l /etc/hosts with no problem | 20:10 |
| rone | stianhj: Not quite sure what though, given /etc/hosts is a full path. | 20:10 |
| stianhj | no sudo | 20:10 |
| daveluke | tf2ftw, i can execute python2.6 in /etc | 20:10 |
| tf2ftw | daveluke, how about /usr/lib/python | 20:10 |
| tf2ftw | ? | 20:10 |
| rone | stianhj: Right I know, the actual thing I'm trying to do is ie sudo -s "echo "foo" >> /etc/hosts" | 20:11 |
| Abinadi | Starminn, no, I can't see that it's mounted when I type "mounted' in the terminal | 20:11 |
| === herton_ is now known as herton | ||
| Abinadi | Starminn, sorry, I meant "mount" | 20:11 |
| rone | stianhj: For whatever reason anything run using sudo -s seems to cause the "No such file or directory" | 20:11 |
| tf2ftw | daveluke, ok so you can get python shell ? | 20:11 |
| stianhj | rone, why the -s? | 20:11 |
| tf2ftw | that means your user path is fubared | 20:11 |
| daveluke | tf2ftw, ok | 20:11 |
| daveluke | how can i fix it? | 20:12 |
| rone | stianhj: So my script is ocmpatible with mac osx as well as ubuntu | 20:12 |
| tf2ftw | easy to fix | 20:12 |
| rone | stianhj: I have to support both. | 20:12 |
| tf2ftw | daveluke, one sec | 20:12 |
| daveluke | ok.. thanks btw tf2ftw | 20:12 |
| rone | stianhj: I'm wondering if the sudo -s and the new shell are not loading PATH proerly | 20:12 |
| Starminn | Abinadi: just do "sudo fdisk -l" then "mount -t ntfs [the/drive] [the/mount/point] | 20:13 |
| rone | I think i got it.. sudo -s ls | 20:13 |
| rone | /bin/ls: /bin/ls: cannot execute binary file | 20:13 |
| rone | definitely weirdness with the new shell | 20:13 |
| erUSUL | !rootshell | 20:13 |
| ubottu | Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 20:13 |
| jason | join #ubuntu | 20:13 |
| tf2ftw | daveluke, do you have any other users on your computer? | 20:14 |
| zesoze | how can I use gridbaglayout to align checkbox in same column...they are in different columns... | 20:14 |
| zesoze | ? | 20:14 |
| tf2ftw | daveluke, if now, add one, sudo useradd tempguy | 20:14 |
| stianhj | rone, i can do sudo -s ls -l /etc/hosts just fine | 20:14 |
| pepe | hi all | 20:14 |
| daveluke | tf2ftw, ok done | 20:14 |
| rone | stianhj: Yeah I can as well on my 10.10 machine, but some reason on this 9.04 machine it fails. Trying to figure out why. | 20:14 |
| tf2ftw | daveluke, sudo passwd tempguy | 20:15 |
| tf2ftw | give him a pws | 20:15 |
| stianhj | rone, cannot execute binary file /bin/ls seems weird | 20:15 |
| rone | right? | 20:15 |
| rone | hah | 20:15 |
| pepe | is there anyone who know how to set vesa mode? | 20:15 |
| daveluke | tf2ftw, ok | 20:15 |

| jimmy__ | Abinadi, it is ubuntu related | 20:18 |
| jimmy__ | obviously i wouldn't be in #ubuntu if it wasn't pertaining to ubuntu/grub | 20:19 |
| Starminn | Abinadi: Looks like there are 3 NTFS's. sdc1, sdc5, and sdd1. You could just mount all of them. :) I certainly don't see why not. Mount one, check it, and keep going till you find out which one you need. | 20:19 |

| thunkee | jimmy__: a rude way to fix is ... use the windows cd repair (will detect windows) and then use a ubuntu cd and boot ubuntu and try to fix grub | 20:23 |
| ThinkT510 | jimmy__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 check configuring grub | 20:23 |
| JerrysKid | Has anyone here used MoonOS 4 distro of Ubuntu? If so... Can you tell me the purpose of it vs. regular Ubuntu 10.10? | 20:23 |

| jimmy__ | now* i'm trying it backwards | 20:24 |
| Stava | drc, well i dont fully understand that text :( | 20:24 |
| jimmy__ | and "sudo update-grub" pulls up the windows 7 partition | 20:24 |

| JerrysKid | Honestly... could they make grub any more confusing? | 20:25 |
| jimmy__ | grub = pain in the ass | 20:25 |
| drc | Stava: me neither, but then I don't speak lawyerese...but that's the license they published | 20:25 |

| JerrysKid | I do get a bit upset when I am starting a fresh install and then after selecting the drive I want to install it on, I am nagged about a swap partition being created... I'm just like, "WTF" can't you just create the swap partition on your own? Do you REALLY need me to tell you to do this? I truly wish a lot of developers could step down to the NEW USERS' mindset and make things slightly easier for them. This is utlimately why Linux fails. Not | 20:28 |

| chang-li | hi, I want to create a 2nd swap and put it on a sd-card.then set it at a higher priorty than the 1st swap. question what would be the effect if ubuntu booted without finding the sd-card swap? | 20:28 |
| BLKBXX | i have gotten to the point of setting up mysql but am having issues now | 20:28 |
| thunkee | jimmy__: just repair it ... you need an ubuntu cd to get back ubuntu to boot afterwards | 20:28 |
| cannonfodder | BLKBXX is php and apache working? | 20:28 |
| JerrysKid | chang-li, What are you hoping to achieve by doing this? | 20:28 |
| jimmy__ | thunkee, i have but it never completes the repair | 20:29 |
| BLKBXX | how does postgres compare to mysql | 20:29 |
| stianhj | chang-li, i think it would just run without swap | 20:29 |
| chang-li | JerrysKid, more room to use apps | 20:29 |
| BLKBXX | i have php and apache working fine | 20:29 |
| cannonfodder | BLKBXX sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 20:29 |
| cannonfodder | do it to php also | 20:29 |
| JerrysKid | chang-li, How is putting your swap on an external SD card going to help? The throughput on an SD card is minimal... otherwise everyone would use them for swap... | 20:29 |
| BLKBXX | just seem to always have issues with mysql on all system no just ubuntu | 20:29 |
| cannonfodder | sudo /etc/init.d/php5 restart | 20:30 |
| thunkee | jimmy__: sry ever worked for me | 20:30 |
| jimmy__ | :/ | 20:30 |
| chang-li | the netbook i have , is running a ramzswap0 also, cutting into main ram. | 20:30 |
| rudy_ | hallo | 20:30 |
| cannonfodder | BLKBXX if that still doesnt work i think theres a module you need to install into php so it can work with mysql | 20:30 |
| JerrysKid | chang-li, I would probably disable swap entirely and just get a large amount of ram. This would drastically change performance and benchmarks (depending on what it is that you're doing... naturally). | 20:30 |

| cannonfodder | that should help...i remember it was a pain in the ass though to find the command | 20:40 |
| Kyle__ | POSTrouble: I never had a problem using any of the built-in epson emulation. The IBM emulation could be problematic sometimes (on band printers esp), but most epson emulation has been built into it for ages. | 20:40 |

| cannonfodder | ABinadi that problem occurs when windows usually isnt shut down properly...the os doesnt have a chance to mark the volume as unused i think...log on to windows and just shut it down properly...if that dont work then look up force mounting | 20:42 |
| Guest69931 | if this is the way to be treated | 20:42 |

| friendlystranger | hey, anyone here using conky? | 21:06 |
| ikonia | Homefix: can you boot into the system properly (outside the chroot) and we can try to fix this | 21:06 |
| JerrysKid | R-Touch, All I was asking is if I could boot the MoonOS 4 desktop environment or do I have to install it on a completely separate partition. That was my question. I am presently running 10.10, and did not want to muck up my Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 by experimenting with MoonOS. | 21:06 |
| Homefix | icon do ya have a sec hold on................... | 21:06 |
| ikonia | JerrysKid: it's not a desktop environemtn, it's a distro | 21:06 |
| Starminn | JerrysKid: Again, "It is an Operating System. http://moonos.org/ It does not relate to Ubuntu, though. MoonOS -- the "OS" infers "Operating System." Once more, though, it is not relative to Ubuntu support" | 21:07 |
| R-Touch | jerryskid: as far as i know, it shouldn't be a problem to install other environments with the default one | 21:07 |

| reedy_ | so, why cant linux or any breed like ubuntu handle 3d as good as microsofts os's ? | 21:07 |
| MysterX | i've an mediacenter (motherboard: Asus M3n78-VM) and the usb wireless mouse/keyboard of logitec freezes. I have update my Nvidea drivers to get the Sound over HDMI working. but when i edit de grub settings to get rid of the freezing mouse, sound stops working... | 21:07 |
| Abinadi | lol jeez louise. | 21:07 |
| Starminn | JerrysKid: Asking about DE is relative. But further conversation (since it's a different operating system) just shouldn't go here. :) That's all. | 21:07 |
| JerrysKid | Starminn, MoonOS is built on 10.10 and runs Gnome. That is why I am confused. | 21:08 |
| ikonia | JerrysKid: it's a derivative, that's why it's not supported | 21:08 |
| Homefix | icon my scripts are here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10584098#post10584098 | 21:08 |
| thunkee | reedy_: what is good? it's different not less good ... almost every high performance 3d equip is unix | 21:09 |
| sysop3 | ubuntu doesnt run gnome anymore? | 21:09 |
| erUSUL | reedy_: because graphic chip manufactures invest like 0.0001 % of what they invest in windows drivers in the linux ones | 21:09 |
| Starminn | JerrysKid: Yes. Many OS's are built on Ubuntu, but are so xtraordinarily different that support for them is beyond the scope of this channel. Take JULinux, for example. It is built on Ubuntu but made to replicate Windows as much as possible. Built on Ubuntu? Yes. Support for it here? No. | 21:09 |
| JerrysKid | Starminn, ikonia, I do not know the difference between "derivatives" "distros" "environments" etc. Perhaps this is why I am so haphazardly offending your chat etiquette. | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Homefix: I'm not asking for scripts, I'd like you to reboot into your desktop without using a chroot | 21:09 |
| MysterX | hmm to difficult? :P | 21:09 |
| ikonia | JerrysKid: ok, a desktop environemt (gnome for example or kde) is the desktop that runs on any distro, follow so far ? | 21:09 |
| Abinadi | can anyone tell me how to use something other than pastebin to upload (similarly) a screenshot? | 21:10 |
| ikonia | JerrysKid: eg: ubuntu packages up gnome/kde/xfce etc etc ? | 21:10 |
| Starminn | Abinadi: Photobucket or something similar? | 21:10 |

| ikonia | JerrysKid: follow so far ? | 21:11 |
| JerrysKid | Yes | 21:11 |
| ikonia | JerrysKid: ok a derivatiave is a distribution (fully Linux distro) that's based on anotherone (in this example) ubuntu, it's a full blown os with it's own packages/configs/etc | 21:11 |

| DasEi | wiw: mplayer and vlc are fine | 21:11 |
| JerrysKid | ok | 21:12 |
| Viking667 | I like Mplayer, but it doesn't play absolutely everything - i.e. chiptunes. | 21:12 |
| meLon | I've left my computer on for the past two nights and when waking up in the morning, I've noticed it's still on, but the screen is BLACK and it wont respond. I have to force it to shut down. Are there any logs that I can look at that might show me what's these gremlins are doing at night? | 21:12 |
| DasEi | wiw: vlc is nice because it brings own, most common codecs with itself | 21:12 |
| Viking667 | I'd love to see a mplayer module to handle .sid, nsf and all sorts of stuff | 21:12 |

| Homefix | icon: i cant "boot" it is on my andriod phone using htc kernel using an arm image | 21:13 |

| erUSUL | wiw: how can i (or anyone else ) know your needs? you have to try them and see | 21:13 |
| Starminn | wiw: I use Banshee as my preference. | 21:13 |
| ikonia | Homefix: you're using ubuntu on your phone ? | 21:13 |
| ikonia | Homefix: or trying to ? | 21:13 |
| Homefix | yes | 21:14 |
| Starminn | wiw: Indeed. There is no "best" thus the large amount of listed players. As they said, try and see. :) | 21:14 |

| ikonia | Homefix: ok, I'm not supporting that platform (personally) due to lack of experience | 21:14 |
| Abinadi | ok, I'm on to another question.....I need to know how to make nautilus load at startup. I can see startup in System>>Preferences>>Startup Applications, but I cannot tell how to load nautilus at startup | 21:15 |
| Homefix | any were i could go another channel? | 21:15 |
| ikonia | Homefix: no idea, there are plenty on freenode, not sure of an ubuntu-on-htc-platform one though | 21:15 |
| erUSUL | Abinadi: nautilus already start on startup. half the desktop features are provided by nautilus | 21:15 |
| MysterX | i've an mediacenter (motherboard: Asus M3n78-VM) and the usb wireless mouse/keyboard of logitec freezes. I have update my Nvidea drivers to get the Sound over HDMI working. but when i edit de grub settings to get rid of the freezing mouse, sound stops working... | 21:16 |
| Starminn | Homefix: type "/list" in IRC and just see what you can find. Sorry I don't know of any suggestions either. | 21:16 |
| Homefix | thanks | 21:16 |
| Abinadi | erUSUL, ok, thanks, I knew that...but what Im talking about is a nautilus window that shows my mounted drives (much like when you launch windows explorer) | 21:16 |
| erUSUL | Abinadi: Places>Computer | 21:17 |
| Starminn | Abinadi: Is /media what you're looking for? | 21:17 |
| Starminn | Abinadi: Yeah, that too ^ :) | 21:17 |
| genii-around | Homefix: You might want to try #xda-devs | 21:17 |
| guntbert | Homefix: don't try /list on this network (it is too big), you can ask alis to search for you (try /msg alis help) | 21:17 |
| drc | Homefix: by my count there are 6 channels that list htc, try #htc-lunix first would be my guess | 21:17 |
| wiw | i never said best, i simply said i need a powerful player. that includes customizability and features (preferably in modular components) | 21:18 |
| Starminn | wiw: Try them all and see. When you find one that you really like use that one. All have different pros and cons, and you're really the only one who's able to judge for you. Most of them are very customizable anyway. | 21:19 |
| klcs | I have a bunch of header files that I want gcc to find. LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to be empty. Is there another way to specify where to look? Ubuntu 9.04 | 21:19 |
| Abinadi | Starminn, erUSUL, yes I can see places>>computer, and I know where /media is (from the command line at least), but what I want is for a window (call it nautilus, computer or whatever it is in ubuntu) to open up at startup. | 21:19 |
| Abinadi | Am I making sense? | 21:19 |
| wiw | Starminn: can you give me an example of a customizable one? i've tried a few and none of them seemed to be at all customizable | 21:19 |

| erUSUL | Abinadi: System>>Preferences>>Startup Applications and add « nautilus /media/ » ? | 21:20 |
| Jezzz | so I edited my sysctl.conf and now I get " GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)" on boot | 21:20 |
| Starminn | Abinadi: Navigate to "/media" in Nautilus. So go all the way down to root then media. In Terminal you can type "nautilus /media" and get the same effect. Regarding opening up at startup follow what erUSL just said | 21:20 |
| Jezzz | how can I undo my edit to sysctl.conf | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | gbear14275: alt + f2 gconf-editor go to apps>nautilus>desktop tick the apropiate checkboxes | 21:21 |
| Starminn | Abinadi: Note that Places>Computer is pretty much the same as /media | 21:21 |

| Jezzz | DasEi: can't boot the system to do that. All i get is that error on startup | 21:21 |
| Starminn | wiw: Try and see, man. I wouldn't know because I don't customize mine a lot. | 21:21 |
| DasEi | Jezzz: then chroot from a live cd | 21:22 |
| DasEi | !chroot | 21:22 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 21:22 |

| Starminn | Odaym: Yes, mount on "/" | 21:23 |
| Odaym | yea i know that i need swap, how do i do that? | 21:23 |
| DasEi | Jezzz: but from a live cd you can also easily edit a file on hd | 21:23 |
| Starminn | Odaym: Create another partition (Ubuntu makes it 2GB by default on mine I believe) and just tell it it's a swap partition. | 21:24 |
| Jezzz | DasEi: ok... i'll continue to load the livecd | 21:24 |

| __nick | pls :( | 21:46 |
| xxiao | in the past it's automatically mounted | 21:46 |
| __nick | help me! | 21:46 |
| ikonia | __nick: what's up | 21:46 |
| tobier | __nick: just shouting for help is not the way to go.. | 21:46 |
| Starminn | swazzy: I've used Eclipse and it was pretty good, yeah. I always end up using a Windows program through WINE (bad I know but I like it too much) and Eclipse is always my go-to app when my usual one stops working. | 21:47 |
| xxiao | the card reader is detected, but gnome popped up saying 'can not mount' | 21:47 |
| ikonia | tobier: please don't give out bad advice, you've been warned about that | 21:47 |
| __nick | to go where? | 21:47 |
| ohsix | Homefix: hamachi doesn't share files, it can let you communicate with the network members, but you still need to use something else to share files | 21:47 |

| Skutarth | I'm here because it doesn't specifically address my issue | 21:47 |
| Viking667 | #firefox is dead quiet | 21:47 |
| Homefix | i cant figure it out, if upstart doesnt work in a chroot how am i able to connect with windows | 21:47 |
| __nick | ubuntu doesn't work! | 21:48 |
| ikonia | __nick: ok, in what way | 21:48 |
| swazzy | ok | 21:48 |
| ikonia | Homefix: is this still the HTC platform ? | 21:48 |
| Homefix | not in a chroot it is a service | 21:48 |
| Starminn | abuusaamah: IRC? Try just Googling around for "IRC" or go type in "/join #freenode" and ask there. | 21:48 |

| tobier | ikonia: alright, cool. I was confused there for a while :S | 21:49 |
| ikonia | tobier: my mistake, | 21:49 |
| Homefix | its ubuntu | 21:49 |
| ikonia | Homefix: what hardware platform (exactly what phone) are you running it on | 21:49 |
| tobier | __nick: what errors do you get, if any? | 21:49 |
| Homefix | htc evo noone is doing it yet | 21:49 |
| Starminn | swazzy: It's in no relation to Microsoft but that's beside the point :) Anyway, yes, Eclipse is quite powerful and I quite enjoy it. Believe it or not though Gedit is also an extraordinarily capable platform for developing as well, so if nothing else works try gedit and its numerous plugins | 21:49 |

| __nick | yes, sure | 21:51 |
| __nick | the link who sent me | 21:51 |

| Skutarth | Let me clarify my issue with Ubuntu and fakeRAIDs. I wanted to know two things: 1) If I install Ubuntu to a separate drive from the fakeRAID, what bootloader should I use and on what drive? 2) If I use Wubi to install instead and just install onto the fakeRAID, am I safe from my RAID being corrupted (ie worst case is that Ubuntu becomes unusable and needs to be reinstalled while Windows continues to run normally)? | 21:56 |
| g_ | ie: notify-send boo; notify-send boo2;notify-send boo3 | 21:57 |
| tobier | __nick: what model ID do you have? | 21:57 |

| cheater- | look at the last update | 22:02 |
| tobier | __nick: however, I have no experience with installing ubuntu on macbooks; my advice still is to start over and make sure you follow the steps in the tutorial | 22:02 |
| tobier | __nick: other than that, I can't be of much help. sorry | 22:02 |

| cheater- | ikonia: it can't be that difficult.. | 22:03 |
| Starminn | g_: Yes, I udnerstand that and I gave you a link to the program you are using. | 22:03 |
| ikonia | cheater-: I don't decide on the release, that's the planned date, that seems a harsh wait time | 22:03 |
| __nick | already use, but not important if ubuntu doesnt restart ! | 22:03 |
| Starminn | g_: Previously I did not, that is correct, but the link I gave is about the program it would appear you are using? | 22:04 |

| ikonia | cheater-: raise it as an issue on the bug report | 22:04 |

| drc | Viking667: pawned the puppy off on the daughter :) I'm stumped. What really is confusing is the rename/delete .mozilla and the problem comes right back. I'm out of ideas...sorry | 22:09 |
| oneliner | thing is when dir is set to 775, ussrb still cant write to it via ftp | 22:09 |
| Homefix | I tried gksudo nautilus in terminal and got (nautilus:1096) warning failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: no such file or directoyy | 22:10 |
| Viking667 | drc: yeah, me too. | 22:10 |
| DasEi | oneliner: simply own the dir to the desired user ? | 22:10 |
| oneliner | i need both to be able to write | 22:10 |
| DasEi | oneliner: sudo chown -R UserHere /some/dir | 22:10 |
| guntbert | Homefix: the reason might be that you started a GUI app with just sudo | 22:11 |
| DasEi | oneliner: an plain ftp.. may I ask why you don't use ssh or https, vsftp least ? | 22:11 |
| loculinux | ... | 22:11 |

| loculinux | ? | 22:12 |
| Homefix | is the /var/run/dbus/system.... part of upstart? | 22:12 |
| lisa_ | Does the ubuntu 10.10 x386 ISO include support for the intel 64-bit processors? | 22:12 |
| cheater- | ikonia: done | 22:13 |
| DasEi | loculinux: this an english spoken channel, need help ? | 22:13 |
| DasEi | ah | 22:13 |
| thunkee | lisa_: works but not 64 bit ... beyond the name amd64 is suitable | 22:14 |
| drc | Viking667: well, back to the puppy...Try "ubuntu+firefox+work offline" in google, there are lots of entries (some old), didn't have time to look at more than a couple...maybe you'll find somthing | 22:14 |
| lisa_ | So the new laptops that come with windows 7 64-bit with Intel processor there's now Ubuntu for it? | 22:14 |
| === ogra is now known as Guest40503 | ||
| cbz | why does ubuntu divide init scripts between init.d and init? there seems to be no rationale | 22:15 |
| Skutarth | It appears things have slowed down now. Can anybody address my question? | 22:15 |
| ThinkT510 | lisa_: you can install either 32bit or 64bit ubuntu on a 64 bit processor | 22:15 |
| windycitybro | mimustafa, where r u | 22:15 |
| lisa_ | Thanks ThinkT510, but I'm confused about the ISO... Would I use the AMD64 ISO for the Intel chips? | 22:16 |
| ThinkT510 | lisa_: yes | 22:16 |
| lisa_ | Thanks ThinkT510 , Why don't they take the AMD off the name then? That would help. | 22:16 |
| ThinkT510 | lisa_: thats just what the architecture is known as, it works n intel and amd cpus | 22:16 |
| DasEi | cbz: there is a movement going on from the old init to the new service approach | 22:16 |
| oneliner | DasEi: thing is i amtrying over vsftpd setup to use from php, and i aint got shhlib to use sftp | 22:16 |
| mfpockets | guntbert, I am reading the link about installing from source, and the first step is referencing an ./configure file but I cannot find one nor does the command supplied work. | 22:16 |
| thunkee | lisa_: amd64 iss only the name for the technology ... works with intel and amd processors | 22:16 |
| evident | hi everybody... | 22:17 |
| Dazzled | anyone know an IRC channel where I can ask about Berkeley/Posix sockets? | 22:17 |
| Homefix | My var/run/dbus is empty | 22:17 |
| mfpockets | guntbert, I have a makefile though, are these two in the same | 22:17 |
| lisa_ | I used to work at AMD... | 22:17 |
| evident | can anybody tell me why I can't chown a symbolic link I made as root? | 22:17 |
| DasEi | oneliner: vsftp is comlete; ssh is not an option (scp, rsync over ssh) ? | 22:18 |
| evident | I have a file in one of my user's home dir and I want to symlink it to a directory in my /var/www/.../httpdocs and make it accessible from the web, so chown it to my webservers username | 22:18 |
| Starminn | evident: Because root made it, maybe? Have you tried "sudo chown"? | 22:18 |
| ThinkT510 | Skutarth: try posting your problem again | 22:18 |
| evident | well I am logged in as root... | 22:18 |
| SkEmO | si? | 22:19 |
| cbz | DasEi: is there a unified set of scripts somewhere which i can use to control which of them run and at what runlevel? | 22:19 |
| Homefix | icon vr/run/dbus/ is missing pid system_bus_socket? | 22:19 |
| evident | and when i try "chown webuser:group file.txt it doesnt change anything | 22:19 |
| guntbert | mfpockets: no, usually there is a file named configure, this prepares the actual make file, if it is not there you could try to just run make in the directory (don't use sudo yet), then (if successful) run sudo make install | 22:19 |
| oneliner | DasEi: i would love to simply be able to handle users and chmods properly :) | 22:19 |
| __nick | thx to all and good night (sure for me here is night :) ) | 22:19 |
| thunkee | evident: in general you canrt chown symbolic links | 22:19 |
| Viking667 | bah. It seems NetworkManager is running, and Firefox was prodding it to see what interfaces there were, not finding anything, so working offline. Bah bah bah. I thought I removed NetworkManager! | 22:19 |
| DasEi | oneliner: ftp is fine if no authentics and such are required, so just download. install ssh and fail2ban, then use rsync or scp to upload files | 22:20 |
| Fanshawe | Hello. I can't get Empathy to connect to an MSN chat account. I'm sure I have the right password and settings, because those settings work on Pidgin from another computer. | 22:20 |
| evident | well but how can I set it then? since my apache user doesnt have access to the other user's homedir | 22:20 |
| thunkee | evident: change the original | 22:20 |
| DasEi | oneliner: man useradd, gropad, chown, chmod | 22:20 |
| DasEi | group* | 22:21 |
| evident | to what? | 22:21 |
| Blue_Wolf | hello, some one know easypeasy? | 22:21 |
| yuskhanzab | help! how to run iptraf in terminal? | 22:21 |
| DasEi | cbz: rephrase question, unclear .. want to add a startupapplication or manipulte services ? | 22:21 |

| Starminn | !find easypeasy | Blue_Wolf | 22:21 |
| thunkee | evident: <sarcastic> to what you need and what you can risk :) | 22:21 |
| ubottu | Blue_Wolf: Package/file easypeasy does not exist in maverick | 22:21 |
| Blue_Wolf | !find easypeasy | 22:22 |
| evident | hmmm | 22:22 |
| Blue_Wolf | i would like to translate it to hebrew | 22:22 |
| Blue_Wolf | need some guide or some thing | 22:23 |

| windycitybro | can someone give me the comand to copy a theme to the .irssi directory | 22:23 |
| DasEi | windycitybro: sudo cp | 22:23 |
| windycitybro | DasEi is that all? | 22:24 |
| ThinkT510 | !cp | 22:24 |
| DasEi | windycitybro: yes, maybe even without sudo, if it's writeable | 22:24 |
| DasEi | cbz: ? | 22:25 |
| mfpockets | guntbert, and this is result of sudo make install http://pastebin.com/SemdmauZ | 22:25 |
| minimec | windycitybro: Copy it to the .irssi directory and type /set theme yourtheme in the irssi commandline. | 22:25 |
| poffio | hi to all | 22:25 |
| spacedpine | hey, I am having a little trouble booting from my usb drive on my macbook air.. I think I need to format my usb a certain way to render bootable? | 22:26 |
| lisa_ | Found out my laptop has a T6600 CPU, and Intel shows it is 64-bit instruction set. So I should be running the AMD64 ISO right? What will I see if I change it? More performance? | 22:26 |
| _Neytiri_ | how do i resolve this issue Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Could not create the Java virtual machine. | 22:26 |
| minimec | windycitybro: do /save afterwards to make the change permanent | 22:26 |
| DasEi | lisa : it's more about adress-translation in regards of ram, no performance reasonable | 22:27 |
| guntbert | mfpockets: never call make install when the previous make went wrong - copy the archive into your own homedir , extract it there again, cd into the directory and try make again | 22:27 |
| ThinkT510 | lisa_: 64bit processors allow you to access over 4 gigs of ram, thats the biggest benefit | 22:27 |
| DasEi | lisa_: how much ram ? | 22:27 |
| lisa_ | just 4g | 22:27 |
| DasEi | lisa : mem shows you | 22:27 |
| lisa_ | so no need to change? | 22:27 |
| TerribleTech | q | 22:28 |
| DasEi | lisa_: get either 32bit pae or , my advice, 64 bit | 22:28 |
| DasEi | !pae | 22:28 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 22:28 |

| nachos | Hi, What is the best USB Wireless-N adapter to use with ubuntu? | 22:28 |
| cbz | DasEi: is there a unified set of scripts somewhere which i can use to control which of them run and at what runlevel? | 22:28 |
| Skutarth | Can somebody at least answer my yes/no question? Can a fakeRAID be corrupted if Ubuntu is installed through Wubi? | 22:28 |
| lisa_ | I'm downloading the AMD64 ISO, opinions on if I should reload with it? | 22:28 |
| DasEi | cbz: rephrase question, unclear .. want to add a startupapplication or manipulte services ? | 22:28 |
| nachos | I bought a WUSB325GC and its a peice of crap. | 22:28 |
| Dazzled | lisa_: I have a 64bit Ubuntu running on a Intel Centrino Duo (Dell D830) | 22:29 |
| cbz | DasEi: as each of the tools seem to read either /etc/init or /etc/init.d | 22:29 |
| oneliner | DasEi: thing is, 1) the final operator is going to be the php backend of a cms, 2) the blessed directory should be writable beyond excuse | 22:29 |
| cbz | DasEi: i want to be able to control startup and runlevel | 22:29 |

| Dazzled | While I don't know if there are any added benefits, I prefer to utilise my HW to the fullest extent | 22:29 |
| ThinkT510 | lisa_: you should have the same user experience as you do with the 32bit ubuntu | 22:29 |
| guntbert | Skutarth: we don't ignore you, it may just be that nobody *knows* the answer | 22:30 |
| lisa_ | Thanks Y'all. I'll play with it and maybe reload | 22:30 |
| DasEi | cbz: so chkonfig is your friend, and aslo check : | 22:30 |

| oneliner | now i noticed vsftp has three processes two as root and one as nobody, does that sound fishy to anyone? | 22:31 |
| guntbert | mfpockets: well, I'm a bit too tired at the moment - think again if you really need *that* program, the installation seems a bit weird :-)) | 22:31 |
| apox | Heya | 22:31 |
| DasEi | cbz: see there are few ways to achive it | 22:31 |
| _Neytiri_ | how do i resolve this issue Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Could not create the Java virtual machine. | 22:31 |
| mfpockets | guntbert, thanks, its a patch to make all buttons on my media center remote work correctly. Ill try to figure it out | 22:31 |
| apox | If install virtualbox and run windows 7 on it, can i then play like mw2 flawless exactly like i was running windows 7 from the harddrive ? | 22:32 |
| guntbert | mfpockets: Good luck :-) | 22:32 |
| DasEi | oneliner: you read my concerns, but own you own risk : chmod +w will make it writeable | 22:32 |
| Skutarth | Crap. I mean, I know Wubi's docs say that it doesn't support fakeRAID, that doesn't at all tell me whether or not it means that it might not work or if it means that it will wipe my entire drive. | 22:33 |
| yuskhanzab | anyone playing euphRO in here? | 22:33 |
| kev009 | how do I remove linux-image-server and its deps so only linux-virtual remains? | 22:33 |

| burd | So I am a Debian guy myself but.. a guy at work comes to me with this ubuntu driven netbook, goes.. we shut it down and now this.. It cannot find /sbin/init .. seen lots of threads in the ubuntu forums but i have yet to see anything that explains how /sbin/init has been removed on so many machines in the last month... Does anyone have any links to the true cause of this epidemic? | 22:33 |
| DasEi | Skutarth: you wont a softraid in wubi ? | 22:33 |
| DasEi | a' | 22:34 |
| apox | If install virtualbox and run windows 7 on it, can i then play like mw2 flawless exactly like i was running windows 7 from the harddrive ? | 22:35 |
| DasEi | burd: /etc/init | 22:35 |
| cheater- | what's mw2? | 22:35 |
| cheater- | mechwarrior 2? :) | 22:35 |

| DasEi | burd: next to the outrunning /etc/init.d ubuntu uses services now | 22:36 |
| cheater- | JSong: i've done that, wasn't too bad. | 22:36 |
| xangua | JSong: 9.10 is not lts | 22:36 |
| DasEi | apox:you do a dualboot for that | 22:37 |
| cheater- | JSong: i would go to 10.04. | 22:37 |
| apox | Ok, to bad :( | 22:37 |
| apox | Thanks for the help tho | 22:37 |
| sneakyimp | can anyone tell me how i might obtain the ./configure command to compile PHP so that i have all the options the same as the ubuntu default apt-get install? | 22:37 |
| JSong | cheater: i want to go to 10.04 but it says i have to first go to 9.10 first then from 9.1 go to 10.04. But I do not have a gui and so I must do it all from command line | 22:37 |
| JSong | cheater-: i want to go to 10.04 but it says i have to first go to 9.10 first then from 9.1 go to 10.04. But I do not have a gui and so I must do it all from command line | 22:38 |

| leon | Hello | 22:38 |
| JSong | dasEi: what do you mean current distro? it is 8.04 | 22:38 |

| Skutarth | DasEi: I'm running a BIOS RAID (I was unaware of it at the time I installed) | 22:39 |
| jonathan | JSong, what happened to your GUI? | 22:39 |
| JSong | dasEi: not based on this site: Because Kubuntu 8.04 was not an LTS release and has passed its end of life, direct upgrades to Kubuntu 10.04 LTS from Kubuntu 8.04 are not supported. Please follow the directions for upgrading Kubuntu 8.04 to 9.10 first, then follow the directions above for upgrades from Kubuntu 9.10. | 22:40 |
| Skutarth | DasEi: I want to either install Ubuntu onto a separate drive or find a way to safely dual boot with Windows 7 64-bit on the fakeRAID drive (including Wubi as an option). | 22:40 |
| Calz | hello | 22:40 |
| Calz | tehre's someone here ? | 22:40 |
| DasEi | JSong: ah, kubunut, bad luck then | 22:40 |
| Calz | there* | 22:40 |
| JSong | jonathon: it is on the server so it never had a gui I can only term in unless I want to install x11vnc | 22:40 |
| lost_soul | sorry, this is a bit of a vague question. But I'm experiencing issues with NFS mounts on an (kinda) ubuntu 10.04 system. The shares mount fine but seem to randomly vanish (crash). Anyone else notice similar? | 22:40 |
| DasEi | Calz: just 1571 | 22:40 |
| jonathan | ah | 22:40 |
| JSong | dasEi: i dont know if i have kbunut or waht i have all i knwo is that it is 8.04 | 22:41 |
| EmuAlert | How do you navigate to a directory with spaces in it? | 22:41 |
| lost_soul | quote it | 22:41 |
| lost_soul | cd "my directory" | 22:41 |
| burd | EmuAlert, quotes | 22:41 |
| jrib | EmuAlert: cd 'dir with spaces' OR cd dir\ with\ spaces | 22:41 |
| BLKBXX | is you bar with you programs on the top or bottom JSONG? | 22:41 |
| sneakyimp | can anyone tell me how i get the ./configure command for default apt-get install of PHP5 ? | 22:41 |
| JSong | blkbxx: i dont have a gui it is just a command line | 22:42 |
| sneakyimp | there are so many modules installed...i want to make sure i get them all | 22:42 |
| lost_soul | sneakyimp: ./configure is for when you compile I believe | 22:42 |
| BLKBXX | ic | 22:42 |
| DasEi | Skutarth: works, do a dualboot, I don't like wubi (case of problems bad repair option, rather use vm's , fine for a first glance though, regulary gets borked on ntfs) | 22:42 |
| jrib | !source | sneakyimp | 22:42 |
| ubottu | sneakyimp: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 22:42 |
| sneakyimp | lost_soul: that is exactly what i'm trying to do | 22:42 |
| jrib | sneakyimp: use apt to install things | 22:42 |
| lost_soul | sneakyimp: then you wouldn't use apt-get, you need to download the source to compile it | 22:42 |
| sneakyimp | ubottu: yes but they don't have 5.3.5 in the package repos, do they? | 22:43 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:43 |
| EmuAlert | Ah, thanks | 22:43 |
| sneakyimp | lost_soul: i have downloaded source, i want to make sure when i run ./configure that i have the same options as the apt-get install does | 22:43 |
| Skutarth | DasEi: Anything special I have to do as far as bootloader? Will using GRUB as the MBR on the Ubuntu drive let me recognize and boot Win7 on the fakeRAID? | 22:43 |
| windycitybro | how do I change the theme, I saved to .irssi file, typed /set theme aka.png did I miss something | 22:43 |
| sneakyimp | lost_soul: otherwise, i might not have all those tasty modules. e.g., sockets, pcntl, mysql, etc. | 22:43 |
| DasEi | Skutarth: the installer will just see it as one drive, first install win, then ubuntu | 22:44 |
| DasEi | yes, grub boots win 7 | 22:44 |
| lost_soul | sneakyimp: oh.. so you want to see what the package has as far as compile time options goes.. I'm unaware how to check that, sorry | 22:44 |
| Calz | DasEi, i have a 'problem', i have just finished the ubuntu update and now i have two ubuntu o boot screen, how can i delete the older kernel version of the boot screen | 22:44 |
| sneakyimp | lost_soul: exactly. for some reason, phpinfo output doesn't tell me what the configure command is...it usually does. | 22:44 |
| DasEi | Calz: open synaptic | 22:45 |
| Skutarth | DasEi: Ubuntu's installer doesn't recognize the fakeRAID at all. If I boot into the liveCD and look at the mounted volumes, it shows up as two separate, empty drives. | 22:45 |
| DasEi | Calz: I like two kernels least, case mess, the older one still works | 22:46 |
| sneakyimp | skutarth: that sounds like something you should tweak in BIOS...do you have mobo manual? | 22:46 |
| Skutarth | sneakyimp: Yeah. This is Intel ICH9R, I believe. | 22:46 |
| sneakyimp | skutarth: otherwise, are the hard drives clean or is this multi-boot situation? | 22:46 |
| windycitybro | how do I change the theme, I saved to .irssi file, typed /set theme aka.png did I miss something | 22:46 |
| Skutarth | sneakyimp: The drives are not clean, unfortunately. | 22:46 |
| sneakyimp | skutarth: can you reformat them or not? | 22:47 |
| Calz | DasEi, in fact i don't want to real remove it, just want to delete the option of grub screen | 22:47 |
| Skutarth | sneakyimp: Not at the moment. | 22:47 |

| Skutarth | sneakyimp: I'm thinking it might just be better to wait and get another drive. | 22:47 |
| lost_soul | that might be of help | 22:47 |
| apox | If i have CrossfireX enable can that mess up the linux ? Sometimes i get errors when i startup linux and my bars and windows are grey instead of the goodlooking ubuntu style | 22:47 |

| sneakyimp | lost_soul: thx, but no answer there :( | 22:48 |
| a_p3rson1 | apox: using ati? (btw apox is a great game) | 22:48 |
| apox | ye ATI | 22:48 |
| jonathan | when is 11.04 scheduled to be released? | 22:48 |
| sneakyimp | skutarth: i'm not an expert at this...internal drives formatted as RAID, correct? is this done via mobo function or via some other os that's installed? | 22:48 |
| a_p3rson1 | umm it could possibly especially if there are 2 different models | 22:48 |
| DasEi | Calz: the do a subfolder in /boot, move the unwanted initrd's there and run sudo update-grub | 22:48 |
| DasEi | then* | 22:48 |

| DasEi | Calz: also you can define howmany kernels grub shall hold | 22:49 |
| a_p3rson1 | jonathan: the naming scheme is like this: [month it will be released].[year it will be released] | 22:49 |
| DasEi | Calz: but least two kernels are fine, case an update fails | 22:49 |
| Skutarth | sneakyimp: Done through MoBo function. Intel's soft RAID chip has its own BIOS. | 22:49 |
| a_p3rson1 | 10.10 = october 2010 | 22:49 |
| IanWizard | a_p3rson1, that's backward. | 22:50 |
| jonathan | a_p3rson1, I hadn.t realized that | 22:50 |
| Calz | ok, yeah it's an nice option | 22:50 |
| Calz | i will try here | 22:50 |
| jonathan | I had always wondered how they got the numbering | 22:50 |
| a_p3rson1 | lol i just noticed that | 22:50 |
| jonathan | thanks | 22:50 |
| sneakyimp | skutarth: hm...i'm kind of out of ideas. Unless I'm mistaken, the mobo should present the RAID drives as a single device entity to software os -- or at least i think so | 22:50 |
| a_p3rson1 | jonathon: mines backwards | 22:50 |
| apox | a_p3rson1: ye im using ATi, reinstalled ubuntu 2 times and still the same problems, some problem you heard of before ? | 22:50 |
| a_p3rson1 | [year].[month] | 22:50 |
| IanWizard | it's the last two of the year (11), dot (.), month (04) | 22:50 |
| rideh | if sftp is just too slow whats the next best thing? Rsync? | 22:51 |
| IanWizard | and it's always in April, and October (04, and 10) | 22:51 |
| Skutarth | sneakyimp: Unfortunately I don't think it's transparent to the operating system. It's a crappy kludge that requires drivers in the OS. I think Windows 7 has them built in, but Windows XP required the drvers to be installed via floppy or slipstreaming. | 22:51 |
| sneakyimp | skutarth: but my knowledge gets really thin at this point... | 22:51 |
| a_p3rson1 | apox: its possible, i wouldn't recommend having crossfire enabled in ubuntu (you should be able to use CCC to disable it), you wont need that much power | 22:51 |
| spectrahp | hello, i downloaded ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition, and made a bootable USB. Booting from it hangs at this line "SYSLINUX 3.82 ........" | 22:52 |
| spectrahp | can anyone tell me why??? | 22:52 |
| sneakyimp | skutarth: if drivers required, i think you are SOL. another drive would probably do it -- and i'd be willing to be you won't be able to access the RAID that's in there unless by miracle you find the right drivers | 22:52 |
| tf2ftw | spectrahp, need mroe info | 22:52 |
| a_p3rson1 | spectrahp: try burning to a CD first | 22:52 |
| a_p3rson1 | some computers dont like usb booting | 22:52 |
| sneakyimp | skutarth: drives are very cheap now -- especially if you just need 200GB SATA...they're like $40 | 22:52 |
| spectrahp | a_p3rson1: The same machine used to boot from 9.something | 22:52 |
| spectrahp | a_p3rson1: from an ubuntu made usb | 22:53 |
| a_p3rson1 | i know | 22:53 |
| tf2ftw | spectrahp, anything else plugged into usb? | 22:53 |
| a_p3rson1 | but still try burning a cd | 22:53 |
| spectrahp | tf2ftw: more info? theres a mouse and a keyboard, thats it | 22:53 |
| a_p3rson1 | also tf2ftw is right | 22:53 |
| spectrahp | tf2ftw: its i386 also | 22:53 |
| Jordan_U | spectrahp: What OS did you use to make the USB? | 22:53 |
| spectrahp | Jordan_U: Vista | 22:53 |
| a_p3rson1 | shouldnt matter unless you created a startup disk on another architecture (x86 > x64) | 22:54 |
| sneakyimp | can anyone tell me if there are source files or other stuff left over from my original "apt-get install php5" ?? if so, where would i find them? | 22:54 |
| a_p3rson1 | ahhh | 22:54 |
| apox | a_p3rson1: Ok, have disabled it now, gonna restart after the movie but i think i tried it before some days ago | 22:54 |
| apox | a_p3rson1: Thanks for your time | 22:54 |
| spectrahp | a_p3rson1: actually Vista is 64bit, could that be why?? | 22:54 |
| tonyyarusso | sneakyimp: sources are in separate packages. | 22:54 |
| Skutarth | sneakyimp: Thanks for the info. Would I still be able to boot into both if Windows 7 is on the fakeRAID and Ubuntu is on a separate, normally partitioned drive? | 22:54 |
| a_p3rson1 | spectrahp: vista will burn it as NTFS or FAT, probably having a hard time | 22:54 |
| spectrahp | a_p3rson1: it shouldnt actually. I created the old ubuntu 9 USB froim vista as well | 22:54 |
| a_p3rson1 | apox: np | 22:54 |
| tf2ftw | spectrahp, anything else plugged into usb? | 22:54 |
| sneakyimp | tonyyarusso: i'm just trying to find out what ./configure options they used to build php5 | 22:54 |
| spectrahp | tf2ftw: only keyboard and mouse | 22:54 |
| a_p3rson1 | spectrahp: humor us, try using a cd | 22:55 |
| sneakyimp | tonyyarusso: any ideas? it's usually visible in phpinfo output but not in Ubuntu's build | 22:55 |
| tonyyarusso | sneakyimp: Download the source package and read the scripts in the debian directory then. | 22:55 |
| tf2ftw | spectrahp, maybe a bad image flash | 22:55 |
| Skutarth | sneakyimp: Or would I need to use the Windows bootloader to boot into Ubuntu instead of using GRUB with the MBR on the Ubuntu drive? | 22:55 |
| tobiasz | my dad's laptop (Asus F3SG) has a webcam which now works very bad, barelly starts up, and updates framerate once per minute | 22:55 |
| spectrahp | a_p3rson1: no blank CDs and also that is not a solution... | 22:55 |
| spectrahp | tf2ftw: i will format and recreate the USB bootable image | 22:55 |
| Ben64 | how do you know it's not a solution? | 22:55 |
| === a_p3rson1 is now known as a_p3rson | ||
| tf2ftw | spectrahp, sounds like a hardware conflict if not a usb image problem | 22:56 |
| spectrahp | Ben64: I want to boot from USB | 22:56 |
| tobiasz | what can be cause for that? Is gpu temperature (around 65'C all the time) possibly causing the problem? | 22:56 |
| DasEi | Skutarth: in this scene you would install grub on the singledrive and have an entry for win in there | 22:56 |
| Ben64 | spectrahp: usb booting isn't 100%, cd is | 22:56 |
| sneakyimp | skutarth: hard t say there...i think Ubuntu installer will try to move the boot.ini or create one if it can't find the windows 7 boot.ini. If Ubuntu doesn't understand the fakeRAID format, then it will probably assume the drives are not formatted | 22:56 |
| tobiasz | I wasn't like that in the past | 22:56 |
| a_p3rson | spectrahp: its could be that USB booting isnt loading all the drivers needed | 22:56 |
| Skutarth | DasEi: And it would definitely work even if Windows is on a fakeRAID that Ubuntu can't even see normally? | 22:56 |
| Dome | Hey | 22:57 |
| sneakyimp | tonyyarusso: any idea where i might download those? I'm quite unfamiliar with the structure of debian packages. also, you think the configure command might be all in one place? or would i need to parse out an entire long file? | 22:57 |
| a_p3rson | try using a cd OR (ugh) use Wubi (HIGHLY unrecommended, eww) | 22:57 |
| tonyyarusso | sneakyimp: apt-get source php5. Look in debian/rules in particular. | 22:57 |
| sneakyimp | skutarth: the only way you are likely to learn the truth here is the hard way...are you prepared to reinstall win 7 if it ruins everything? if not, i wouldn't try it. | 22:58 |
| a_p3rson | tobiasz: 65C is getting quite toasty, is there a blocked airduct? also, temp shouldnt be a problem | 22:58 |
| DasEi | Skutarth: I wonder little, I have had such a setup (jmicron onboard), and once set up properly (think ide mode was required tho) it worked fine for both , xp and buntu | 22:58 |
| sneakyimp | tonyyaruso: you are the dude... thanks. where does this put the package on my file system? | 22:58 |
| Dome | Haha, windows 7. | 22:58 |
| tobiasz | a_p3rson it worked well in the past | 22:58 |
| tonyyarusso | sneakyimp: current working directory | 22:58 |
| bilig | hello anyone knows how to start gnome-panel at login? | 22:58 |
| tonyyarusso | sneakyimp: (and don't use sudo) | 22:58 |
| sneakyimp | tonyyarusso: less you friendly soul. thanks | 22:59 |
| Ben64 | bilig: it should start automatically... | 22:59 |
| tonyyarusso | np | 22:59 |
| DasEi | Skutarth: als the softraid of ubuntu works fine | 22:59 |
| Skutarth | I guess I'm waiting this one out, then. I'll hopefully have a single drive that is big enough to back everything up off of my RAID | 22:59 |
| JoshDreamland1 | Hey, for some reason, I can't set my screen brightness. I'm using the dial under power management, and nothing's happening. | 22:59 |
| Skutarth | DasEi: But Windows has a crappy softRAID | 22:59 |
| tobiasz | a_p3rson I don't know what can be a reason for such terrible webcam behaviour | 22:59 |
| a_p3rson | tobiasz: not sure, but a 65C gpu is pretty toasty, make sure there isn't a blocked air intake (unrelated to the problem) | 22:59 |
| DasEi | Skutarth: the performance is fine in view of these lowcost fake raids, idk for win right | 22:59 |
| bilig | ben64, i use ubuntu netbook and it does not start, even when i put it in startup items | 22:59 |
| DasEi | Skutarth: could ask that in #windows | 23:00 |
| JoshDreamland1 | I have a "Display off" button that works fine, but the brightness up and down buttons don't work, and neither does the slider under power management. | 23:00 |
| bilig | ben64, however it starts if run gnome-panel in terminal | 23:00 |
| tobiasz | a_p3rson ye this laptop requires deassembly and cleaning inside | 23:00 |
| tobiasz | a_p3rson fans are going wild lately | 23:00 |
| Skutarth | I'll have the option of changing to softRAID or installing onto the new drive if I get one. I guess I'll wait this out for now. | 23:00 |
| a_p3rson | bilig: netbook edition i believe doesn't run gnome properly, Unity is the one that is bundled | 23:00 |
| DasEi | Skutarth: as of data n web, I use nix* anyway, just for some playstuff I still deploy win | 23:00 |
| DasEi | so raid-fun.. errm | 23:01 |
| bilig | a_p3rson, what do you mean? what should i do? | 23:01 |
| a_p3rson | try using this at startup, maybe, im not sure: gnome-panel --replace | 23:01 |
| bilig | ok i'll try, brb after restart | 23:02 |
| oday_ | how do i remove all permissions from everybody for a certain directory? | 23:02 |
| Skutarth | a_p3rson: That reminds me of when you needed to do that for compiz to work. | 23:02 |
| Dome | How does one go about changing their theme? | 23:03 |
| a_p3rson | wrong a_p3rson i believe...i was helping someone though with that... | 23:03 |
| tobiasz | a_p3rson maybe it can be some webcam related setting regarding lighting or something | 23:03 |
| sneakyimp | tonyyarusso: yikes! that rules file is beastly | 23:03 |

| Starminn | Haha, I loved your reastion though. :) (just a random side thought) | 23:33 |
| a_p3rson | well considering that pidgin decided it needed to announce that netsplit was an incoming message directed to me, ya my ears hurt now... | 23:34 |
| a_p3rson | sound * 1000 | 23:34 |
| jonthue_ | hplip keeps giving meerror: command failed with error code 100 | 23:34 |
| Starminn | a_p3rson I learned quickly to disable sounds in this channel. :) | 23:35 |
| a_p3rson | jonthue_: before i ask about your problem, do you have another open irc connection to this channel? if so id be nice if you could disconnect it | 23:35 |
| Jezzz_ | on install ubuntu prompts you to generate a crypt key and write it down in case you have to manually recover your encrypted home data | 23:36 |
| jonthue_ | no | 23:36 |
| a_p3rson | Starminn: i do, except incoming message which it derp'd on and played the noise 1000 times over | 23:36 |
| jonthue_ | just this irc | 23:36 |
| Jezzz_ | I need to tell ubuntu to generate that key again for me so I an write it down | 23:36 |
| Jezzz_ | how do I do that | 23:36 |

| rami1983 | how to open rar files in ubuntu? | 23:38 |
| hippytaf1 | now3d: why do you want to get rid of encryption? | 23:39 |
| erUSUL | !rar | rami1983 | 23:39 |

| Jezzz_ | On install ubuntu prompts you to generate a crypt key and write it down in case you have to manually recover your encrypted home data. I need to tell ubuntu to generate that key again for me so I can write it down. How do I do that? | 23:40 |
| a_p3rson | UncleNinja: no problem. dont derp up compiz again (if you have CCSM it has the crash protection addon to keep that from happening) | 23:40 |
| now3d | hippytaf1: I realised I did not need encryption, and I back up files to USB stick with no encryption each day anyway.. | 23:40 |

| rami1983 | now3d: thanks, it worked | 23:42 |
| now3d | hippytaf1: does it actually encrypt $HOME? or just the $HOME/Private folder? | 23:42 |
| a_p3rson | ok | 23:42 |
| now3d | rami1983: ;) | 23:42 |
| a_p3rson | is this a network printer? | 23:43 |
| epimeth | hi all... my mic isn't workin | 23:43 |
| a_p3rson | jonthue_: is this a network printer? | 23:43 |
| jonthue_ | this printer is a all in one | 23:43 |
| jonthue_ | yes it has wifi | 23:43 |
| Starminn | epimeth: Has it worked in the past? | 23:43 |
| a_p3rson | jonthue_: is that how it is connected? | 23:43 |
| nagel182 | I need help: Yesterday i installed LAMP and it worked. I instaled imagick and mod_rewrite. it worked. Today both of them refuses to work even thought its in the phpinfo() | 23:44 |
| epimeth | yes, but I haven | 23:44 |
| jonthue_ | that and usb | 23:44 |
| epimeth | Starminn: yes but I haven't tried it in a while... it might have stopped working when I updated to 10.10 | 23:44 |
| a_p3rson | jonthue_: hmmm | 23:44 |
| hippytaf1 | now3d: not sure - that link - there is code there that should explain everything | 23:44 |
| jonthue_ | when i try to install hplip it cant install the depenceny | 23:44 |
| a_p3rson | just a guess, try unpluging usb (or turning off wifi if usb is your connection choice) | 23:45 |
| now3d | jonthue_: I also insgalled similar HP last week, the photosmart. Just click Administration->Printing, and add the printer there (after adding to wifi!) | 23:45 |
| a_p3rson | jonthue_: how are you trying to install the program? | 23:45 |
| jonthue_ | its not the connection with the printer its installing hplip depency | 23:45 |
| a_p3rson | now3d: this one needs non-standard drivers | 23:45 |
| rami1983 | another question. i've uninstalled brasero but the update manager keeps asking me if i want to update it. is it possible that the program is not entirely removed? | 23:45 |
| a_p3rson | jonthue_: how are you installing through the terminal? | 23:46 |
| jonthue_ | would i need to install the driver? | 23:46 |
| now3d | a_p3rson: are you sure? hplip should support it. Whcih function print/copy has a problme? | 23:46 |
| Starminn | epimeth: Yes, that could be. You could also try this, though: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=238820 | 23:46 |
| jonthue_ | by the instructions on this site http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html | 23:46 |
| a_p3rson | rami1983: use synaptic to search and see if a brasero dependency is left on there | 23:46 |
| nagel182 | today i installed mod_expires and mod_headers for apache and xdebug for PHP | 23:46 |
| jonthue_ | i tried 4 times and it keeps giving my code 100 failed to install the depen | 23:47 |

| a_p3rson | jonthue_: how far are you getting? | 23:47 |
| jonthue_ | to installing the packages | 23:48 |
| Starminn | jonthue_: You could also try this: http://superuser.com/questions/210011/hplip-package-is-broken-on-ubuntu maybe? (Others read it and see if it seems logical, please) | 23:48 |
| a_p3rson | jonthue_: step number plz | 23:48 |

| apogee_ | i have my raid mounted now how do i access it... | 23:49 |
| the_dark_warrio | Is it possible to change the behavior of the Fn key? For instance, make it a toggle button, or always start with it "pressed"? My notebook has the F1, F2, etc. keys as Function keys, and that annoys me | 23:49 |
| rami1983 | a_p3rson: u are right. there were some leftovers. i thought the ubuntu software manager removed it completely | 23:49 |
