| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:00 |

| Starminn | BiMMeR: So you're just trying to get the mic to work? (i.e. http://forum.teamspeak.com/archive/index.php/t-59220.html) | 00:20 |
| BiMMeR | have been searching for several days, so i dont think the answer lies there :( | 00:21 |
| Starminn | Is it the headset in general or just the mic? Have you tested to make sure the headset even works in Ubuntu at all? (If it's a lack of support in Ubuntu no amount of cnfiguration in TeamSpeak will help ;) ) | 00:22 |

| Viking667 | trouble is, the screens are only getting picked up as 60Hz, and there's nothing in the xorg.conf to tell Xorg anything different... like the fact I have two rather useful 15" monitors that do way better. | 00:34 |

| IsmAvatar | Odaym: depends on the bios. Hunt around. Usually it will be prefixed with some initials of the HD manufacturer. For instance, if you use western digital, it may be labeled WD##### | 00:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Viking667: you can set refresh rates in xorg.conf and it will play nice | 00:35 |

| Viking667 | ActionParsnip: under what section? I've only GOT two... | 00:35 |
| mackdieselx27 | @Odaym: If your drive is there what you could also do is try loading a GParted live CD and see if your partitions show up. | 00:35 |

| ActionParsnip | skutr: copy the command I gave and paste it to the terminal, copy it ALL | 00:45 |
| skutr | i did | 00:45 |
| poss_ | ty :) | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | donoban: thats why you need to reboot to a root recovery console | 00:45 |
| mackdieselx27 | poss: Be sure to drill through the mozilla directory to look over what you want first. | 00:45 |
| donoban | ActionParsnip: maybe run init 1? | 00:46 |
| Viking667 | hm. This is weird. what is /proc/kcore supposed to contain? | 00:46 |
| poss_ | oh permission denied | 00:46 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 00:46 |
| Dead_Storage | ok so i deleted the top panel(in ubuntu) and that had the little wireless icon that let me manage my connections in it, my question is how do i get that back on the new pannel I mad, I dont see it anywhere | 00:46 |
| Viking667 | because it's only 1016Mb, and I have 2Gb of memory. | 00:46 |
| habstinat | Hi. This happens every time I try to install something via apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/568962/ I'm on 10.04, and this leaves me unable to install any of Ubuntu's packages. Can someone help me out please? | 00:46 |
| th0r | Dead_Storage: try adding a system tray to the panel | 00:47 |
| skutr | ActionParsnip: ok | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | donoban: if it kills the x server then fine, you can get a root recovery console by rebooting, holding shift then selecting recovery mode, then root | 00:47 |
| poss_ | actually im getting that a lot, i guess that means i can't just copy the entire drive onto an external drive huh? if i'm not allowed to view it im probably not allowed to copy it | 00:47 |
| skutr | ActionParsnip: so what did that do? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: you get the idea | 00:47 |
| donoban | ok ActionParsnip thx gonna try | 00:47 |
| IsmAvatar | ActionParsnip: the nano reinstall ran without incident. nano works. | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: its a script from the alsa team which gives a LOT of info about the system and the sound setup / libs / settings | 00:47 |
| HipKat | Ok, let's try something else, using LiveCD, can I boot into MY linux and not the guest user that LiveCD has? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | IsmAvatar: hmm, weird | 00:47 |
| Dead_Storage | thats not in the menu for add to panel | 00:47 |
| mackdieselx27 | poss: Your mozilla directory should be owned by you and is read and writable. Where you are trying to copy that directory from? Are you in your account or from a live CD? | 00:47 |
| Viking667 | habstinat: wow. That looks ugly. | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: you don't need to view the data, and select to upload to the site | 00:48 |
| PetePorty | Dead_Storage: On another panel, right-click, selecct add-to panel and chose Notification Area | 00:48 |
| th0r | Dead_Storage: I forget exactly what it is called, Notification Area or some such | 00:48 |
| skutr | ActionParsnip: yeah thats not going to do anythin | 00:48 |
| habstinat | Viking667: Got any ideas? | 00:48 |
| skutr | anything | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | habstinat: what is the output of: lsb_release -d Thanks | 00:48 |
| Viking667 | habstinat: it's like you've got missing perl modules. | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: why not? | 00:49 |
| poss_ | live cd, the hard drive failed and gives me a kernel panic on boot, so im on a live cd trying to copy everything onto an external drive | 00:49 |
| skutr | ActionParsnip: uhh this just uploads data to a website | 00:49 |
| Dead_Storage | th0r, oh thanks, haha they should call it something like manage connections, that would be a lot more clear | 00:49 |
| Godslastering | When i log in (even after restarting) about, like, 500 "starting file ***" dialogs pop up... i can't read the rest of what it says, unfortunately, and i don't know why they are coming up. Also, after about 5 minutes, they eventually close | 00:49 |
| HipKat | I know you guys are gettign hammered with questions, but is it possible to boot my user account wioth liveCD? | 00:49 |
| Viking667 | habstinat: unfortunately, I can't help with this. | 00:49 |
| PetePorty | Dead_Storage: So it did work? | 00:50 |
| PetePorty | Good. | 00:50 |
| th0r | Dead_Storage: there are other things that will show up there besides network-mangler.....pidgin for one | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: yes, then makes you a link | 00:50 |
| Dead_Storage | PetePorty, yeah it did | 00:50 |
| HipKat | Or if I just run the install ubuntu option, will it wipe everything I have now and just reinstall fro mscratch? | 00:50 |
| mackdieselx27 | poss: You may need to either change the permissions on ~/.mozilla or perform the copy with higher privileges since it's real picky on HDD permissions. | 00:50 |
| skutr | ActionParsnip: yeah to that data | 00:50 |
| Dead_Storage | th0r, thats fine, i just eas going for a minimalist theme but i still needed that | 00:50 |
| habstinat | Viking667: Thanks anyways, and ActionParsnip: I get, "Description:Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS" | 00:50 |
| mackdieselx27 | poss: Recursively I might add. | 00:51 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: ok then it makes a red hyperlink when it finishes. Give the link here | 00:51 |
| PetePorty | So.... Anyone thinks they can help me out with my problem? | 00:51 |
| skutr | ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=40b490a038e8940b8dc134e5e13c68e5953a7e73 | 00:51 |
| PetePorty | So guys, I came here earlier and one of you (who is now gone) helped me a lot. After doing all he told me to, I discovered the problem was with my hard drive. So I rund dmsg, here is the result: http://pastebin.com/aB7YeXVu And then I did smartctl http://pastebin.com/ZnGUDTKP . Someone told me that I should seek help here, and that it is probably an error with cabling or drive electronics, but I'd like to know what I should do now. (I'd like a | 00:51 |
| PetePorty | lot to avoid buying a new harddrive, to be honest. If it's possible, of course.) | 00:52 |
| === soreau_ is now known as soreau | ||
| ActionParsnip | skutr: | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: 00:48 < skutr> ActionParsnip: yeah thats not going to do anythin | 00:52 |
| poss_ | yeah im not in a position to change the permissions, since the permissions can only be set by the owner and the live cd is not the owner | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: so it dod someting, didn't it...? | 00:52 |
| defkon | 00:52 | |
| skutr | ActionParsnip: sorry im having a bad day | 00:52 |
| Godslastering | Also, i have two monitors connected, each with a seperate x server, how do i "move" or "start" an application on the other monitor? | 00:52 |
| mackdieselx27 | poss: You should be able to override it since you're on the live CD. Try chowning it (with -R) from the CLI and see if that works out for you. | 00:54 |
| Viking667 | And my last question for the day, or I hope it is... | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: try: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the line: options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-1 to the bottom, reboot to test. If you get no sound then re-edit and remove the line | 00:56 |
| PetePorty | Should I assume that I am being ignored; that no one knows how what to do, or that someone is actually reading through my pastebins? | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: use sound recorder to test | 00:56 |
| IsmAvatar | ActionParsnip: ok, so what now? I'm happy uninstalling some packages if you think they are in the way. | 00:56 |
| Viking667 | When I boot up the kernel from 10.10 (maverick), one of the screens plugged into my HD3450 flashes every few seconds or so. It doesn't do the same thing with the earlier kernel from 10.04 | 00:56 |
| Viking667 | What can be done? | 00:56 |
| habstinat | ActionParsnip: Not sure if you got my last message, but I get, "Description:Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS". Thanks. | 00:56 |
| popkorn | Hi. Trying to get the grub2 menu back. Can someone help interpret the result text from meierfra's boot info script ? | 00:56 |

| ActionParsnip | habstinat: I saw, I have no other ideas | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | IsmAvatar: I have no idea, are there any bugs logged for it | 00:57 |
| skutr | ActionParsnip: is there something i can add to this to get my headphones to work? | 00:57 |
| IsmAvatar | ActionParsnip: dozens, but none of them seem relevant. It seems like a rather wordy and generic error. | 00:58 |
| skutr | ActionParsnip: ill stick my headphones in and the sound still plays through the speakers | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | IsmAvatar: could try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install debconf | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | IsmAvatar: then its a known issue, I'd keep an eye on the bugs | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | skutr: the options will help that too, you have a weird card which needs options. The link I gave has a few you can try | 00:59 |

| crazybrain | ActionParnship: nope | 01:00 |
| crazybrain | even whole port is not working | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | crazybrain: is the system a branded PC or laptop? | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | crazybrain: are the USB ports enabled in BIOS? | 01:01 |

| IsmAvatar | ActionParsnip: I was wondering when you were going to do that :-p you're sure helping a lot of people concurrently | 01:02 |

| minimec | Ben__437: You can change the password and leave it blank. It will ask you once again, as you will loose security in some way, but afterwoards you won't see any dialog box again. | 01:36 |
| joeoshawa | can i have both on at once and force a program to use a certain sound card | 01:36 |
| bazhang | crazybrain,/join #metasploit | 01:36 |

| zachera | hi, where is the x86_64 10.4 version of ubuntu desktop available? | 01:39 |
| soreau | ! download | zachera | 01:40 |
| ubottu | zachera: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 01:40 |
| ohsix | on the iso mirrors | 01:40 |
| zachera | yes, i know, but | 01:40 |
| minimec | Ben__437: remember! Autologin and 'blank' keyring password is bad, as keyring passwords can be made visible in the keyring manager! | 01:40 |
| zachera | which file... | 01:40 |
| poss | so copying on the live disc seems to be limited to about 300kbs, is this a restriction of the disc or the usb drive i am copying to? | 01:40 |
| Ben64 | soreau: ? | 01:40 |
| bazhang | !torrents > zachera | 01:40 |
| ubottu | zachera, please see my private message | 01:40 |
| soreau | zachera: Which ever one you want? | 01:40 |
| ActionParsnip | zachera: sure: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso MD5: c19e5139e10df2626055f1d9985856d7 | 01:41 |

| Ben__437 | gotcha Minimec. Its my own home machine so we are good :) | 01:41 |
| Ben64 | ah | 01:41 |
| ardchoille | poss: the system runs faster once installed to a hdd, livecd's run everything in ram | 01:41 |
| ohsix | and off the casper file on the drive | 01:41 |
| zachera | i downloaded this one: ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386.iso | 01:41 |
| aroman | hey, if I want to change a string that appears in a graphical app, would changing /var/lib/dpkg/info/thatapp.templates do the trick? | 01:41 |
| zachera | and i installed it, etc | 01:41 |
| Abinadi | ardchoille, here is what I'm getting: http://paste.ubuntu.com/568981/ | 01:42 |
| ohsix | it runs normal speed off the livecd after a file's been read off the cd :] | 01:42 |
| zachera | but when i type `uname -m' it says "i686" | 01:42 |
| u19809 | hi all, I need to reinstall my nvidia proprietary driver but i first need to remove it completely. after remove of all nvidia* packages I still seem to get an nvidia module loaded as the dmesg output shows a tainted kernel because of nvidia module | 01:42 |
| u19809 | How can I get rid of nvidia completely ? | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | zachera: then you used the 32bit ISO | 01:42 |
| zachera | but i need to be seeing "x86_64" | 01:42 |
| soreau | zachera: Yes, i386/i686 is x86 | 01:42 |
| zachera | ActionParsnip: yes, where do i get the 64bit iso.. | 01:42 |
| ohsix | how do i shot iso | 01:42 |
| ardchoille | Abinadi: ok, the repos should be isntalled, now do a "sudo apt-get update" | 01:42 |
| Abinadi | ardchoille, did that already | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | zachera: I just gave the link, or you can use the torrent: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent | 01:43 |
| ardchoille | Abinadi: if the package error persists, then that package is not in the repo you added | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: define "shot" | 01:43 |
| zachera | ActionParsnip: but that's for amd, no? | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | zachera: it's for any 64bit CPU | 01:43 |
| Ben__437 | minimec/soreau/ardchoille you guys involved with Ubuntu or just hardcore users? | 01:43 |
| ardchoille | Abinadi: apt-cache search pulseaudio|grep equalizer | 01:43 |
| ohsix | zachera: amd64 is a grandfathered name for it in linux; since they were first | 01:43 |
| zachera | ActionParsnip: but it says amd, lol | 01:43 |
| zachera | strange.. | 01:43 |
| zachera | ok | 01:44 |
| JeffiPhone | Greetings, all. | 01:44 |
| zachera | thanks | 01:44 |
| Ben__437 | Hi JeffiPhone | 01:44 |
| ardchoille | Ben64: Been using Ubuntu as my sole OS since 2005 and Linux since 2001. I guess I'm a hardcore user :) | 01:44 |
| Ben__437 | :) | 01:44 |
| soreau | Ben__437: I file bugs, fix some things where I can and complain a lot | 01:44 |
| ohsix | zachera: practically speaking the x86 and amd64 ports have been merged in the kernel for a long time | 01:44 |
| JeffiPhone | I've been using Ubuntu since Wednesday! | 01:44 |
| Ben64 | :( | 01:44 |
| Ben__437 | hehe I like it Soreau | 01:44 |
| Abinadi | ardchoille, I got nothing back...just a blank prompt | 01:44 |
| ardchoille | Abinadi: then that package is not in the repo you added | 01:45 |
| minimec | Ben__437: Somehow we are all involved aren't we? Using Linux since 1999... | 01:45 |
| Ben__437 | good stuff JeffiPhone | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | anyone know why a computer would lock up on 10.10 while viewing any flash content? | 01:45 |
| Blue1 | Ben64: 64 bit machine or 32 bit? | 01:46 |
| aeon-ltd | Ben64: what spec pc? | 01:46 |
| ardchoille | Ben64: sounds like a video card/driver issue | 01:46 |
| Abinadi | ardchoille, ugh...then would you have any clue where I can (or how I can access) that pulseaudio EQ (or any EQ for that matter)?? | 01:46 |
| ActionParsnip | zachera: thats because a little while ago amd was the only desktop cpu which was 64bit, and its just stuck | 01:46 |
| ohsix | Ben64: nvidia driver? | 01:46 |
| JeffiPhone | But, Linux off and on since I don't remember when... Back when it was harder to get working, that's for sure. Ubuntu just works. It's like the Mac of Linux. | 01:46 |
| Ben__437 | yean Minimec, I come from a redhat background, Web hostin mainly. over the last 3 years been doing windows 2k8 stuff. Ubuntu has been a breath of fresh air... | 01:46 |
| Ben64 | Blue1: 64 bit | 01:46 |
| soreau | Ben__437: If it's a hard lock, it's usually a driver bug. Could be graphics driver or anything triggered by flash | 01:46 |
| soreau | erm.. | 01:46 |
| Ben64 | aeon-ltd: amd x4, 64 bit, gts250 | 01:46 |
| Blue1 | Ben64: would that you be using firefox by chance? | 01:46 |
| soreau | Ben__437: Sorry, it was auto-tab-complete-failure. I was trying for Ben64 | 01:46 |
| Ben64 | ardchoille: it worked with a different cpu/mobo | 01:46 |
| ardchoille | Abinadi: No, I don't even use sound on my systems | 01:46 |
| Ben__437 | to many Bens hehe | 01:46 |
| soreau | Ben64: If it's a hard lock, it's usually a driver bug. Could be graphics driver or anything triggered by flash | 01:46 |
| ohsix | Ben64: are you the guy from yesterday? | 01:46 |
| Ben64 | ohsix: nvidia yes, i know the guy from yesterday, seemed like there is more helpful people around now :) | 01:47 |
| Blue1 | Ben64: i have had issues with firefox in 10.10 64 bit locking up my system with or w/o flash. opera and chrome work fine, and firefox worked fine in 10.04 | 01:47 |
| Ben64 | soreau: but it worked on the same vid card before? and i have a gts250 and am not experiencing that problem | 01:47 |
| ardchoille | Ben64: hmm. no idea then unless the other mobo/cpu was a lot more powerful | 01:47 |
| Ben__437 | JeffiPhone I know what you mean mate, runs great on my machine. If only I could get COD Modern Warefare 2 to run in wine :) | 01:47 |
| Abinadi | has anyone used the instructions here: http://exploreubuntu.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/equalizer-for-pulse-audio/ with any success?? | 01:48 |
| Ben64 | Blue1: oh, and it crashes in chrome too | 01:48 |
| Ben64 | ardchoille: nope, was an upgrade to amd x4 | 01:48 |
| JeffiPhone | That's what XBox is for, Ben. :D | 01:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben__437: maybe it'll work in Cedega or Crossover office if you have the brass :) | 01:48 |
| Blue1 | Ben64: do yo have the 64 bit flash, or the 32 bit the comes with standard ubuntu? | 01:48 |
| gryfft | Ubuntu'd laptop is working great, except whenever I logout, clicking on my username just gives me the error sound. Same when I try to click the option to log in as someone else. | 01:48 |
| Ben64 | Blue1: 64 bit | 01:48 |
| Ben__437 | hehe yeah to cheap for an xbox :) | 01:48 |
| madsailor | Hello All, when I click on Home folder, Documents etc. under the places menu, eye of gnome opens rather than nautilus, and has a message about not being able to find images. How can I change this back to that the places menu is usable again? | 01:48 |
| Blue1 | Ben64: hmmm | 01:48 |
| Ben__437 | ActionParsnip i'll check em out thanks :) | 01:49 |
| gryfft | It's set to automatically sign in when I reboot so I can always get back in but logging out leaves me stranded. Weird! | 01:49 |
| soreau | Ben64: You could be using a different version of the nvidia driver. You can test, if it's the driver by changing the Driver line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from "nvidia" to "nouveau" then reboot | 01:49 |
| Ben__437 | Time for another beer :) | 01:49 |
| JeffiPhone | I ran Counter-Strike in wine (very poorly) about 10 years ago. | 01:49 |
| zachera | thanks all for the support with my 64-bit issue | 01:49 |
| Blue1 | Ben64: by default ubuntu folks use the 32 bit flash even on 64 bit systems, because they refuse to use alpha or beta releases of anything. | 01:49 |
| Ben64 | soreau: how good is noveau? | 01:49 |
| Ben__437 | JeffiPhone CS runs great under wine now | 01:49 |
| aroman | what does /var/lib/dpkg/info/$app.templates do? | 01:50 |
| Ben64 | Blue1: yeah i know, makes me sad. 64 bit flash works so much better for me | 01:50 |
| JeffiPhone | With the new systems out now, I bet! | 01:50 |
| Blue1 | Ben64: yes | 01:50 |
| Ben__437 | yeah :) | 01:50 |
| soreau | Ben64: They have good people working on nouveau but nvidia refuses to cooperate with the open driver devs by releasing hw specs like intel and AMD/Radeon do | 01:50 |
| === goku253 is now known as sly | ||
| Ben__437 | So glad spotify has been ported to linux :) | 01:50 |
| === sly is now known as goku425 | ||
| Ben64 | soreau: i mean.. does it have 3d support? | 01:50 |
| JeffiPhone | It was like 2 frames per second back then, but my machine wasn't terribly fast to begin with. | 01:50 |
| soreau | Ben64: Thus, nouveau may be hit or miss depending on which card you have. Yes, it can do 3D | 01:51 |
| ardchoille | Abinadi: try doing the "sudo apt-get update" one more try, then try "apt-cache search pulseaudio-equalizer" | 01:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben__437: only if you have a full account :( | 01:51 |
| Ben__437 | JeffiPhone Yeah, My first *nix adventure was 32mb ram, 122mhz cpu and 10GB HD :) | 01:51 |
| soreau | Ben__437: Isn't spotify the music service that doesn't work in .us? | 01:52 |
| Ben__437 | ActionParsnip yep but its worth the cash | 01:52 |
| Ben__437 | soreau I think they have US licence agreements now so should work. Dont quote me on that tho :P | 01:52 |
| ardchoille | Abinadi: Did you run "sudo apt-get install update" or "sudo apt-get update"? The latter is the correct one | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben__437: true, looking at the paid account soon (not premium though). I stil use it in wine for free | 01:52 |
| JeffiPhone | HAHA! My Pentium III (first machine that was all mine) had a 6 gig. | 01:53 |
| soreau | Ben__437: Hm, I'll have to give it another go sometime | 01:53 |
| Ben__437 | ActionParsnip yeah if you run it on wine you get more, the actual linux verison is missing some minor detail | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | JeffiPhone: my fileserver is a P3, its sweet :) | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Ben__437: really, whats lacking? | 01:53 |
| JeffiPhone | It runs PS3 games? Using Ubuntu? | 01:53 |

| soreau | hi zambaboo | 01:54 |
| zambaboo | how do i find out which module detects my hardware? | 01:54 |

| JeffiPhone | Haha, whoops. | 01:55 |
| Ben__437 | ActionParsnip offline files & full support :( the developers love linux so made a version for themselfs whilst coding so they released an unsupported version | 01:55 |

| Chikokishi | This is pandora! | 02:14 |
| minimec | Chikokishi: What did you do, after you realized that? Did you logout/login the session again? Did you reboot? | 02:15 |
| Chikokishi | minimec: I ignored it for the most part because i was in class and muted the sound anyway | 02:15 |
| Chikokishi | But iv rebooted a few times since then and it still doesnt work | 02:15 |
| Chikokishi | now im at home where i can work on it | 02:16 |

| minimec | Chikokishi: Ok. First thing I would do is to check the properties of your sound applet. Did you suspend or hibernate your machine? | 02:17 |
| Slix` | misla, Right, thanks, but I was asking for will's benefit. | 02:17 |
| Chikokishi | nope, just shut down | 02:17 |
| minimec | Chikokishi: Volume applet... | 02:17 |
| ardchoille | Abinadi: that article you were following was written before Maverick was released, the package is there, just not available for Maverick. That's the best I can think of | 02:17 |
| Chikokishi | Where do i check that? I might add iv only been ubuntuing for half a week | 02:17 |
| Chikokishi | still windows oriniated =/ | 02:17 |
| minimec | Chikokishi: The volume applet in your panel. Go to 'sound preferences' | 02:18 |

| Belphonet76 | actionparsnip offline files & full support :( the developers love linux so doesn't that's fine too. | 02:23 |
| faenor | Belphonet76: GNU/Linux, not linux | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Belphonet76: how do you mean "full support"? | 02:23 |
| ElectricPrism | Freekzy: I used Ubuntu exclusively for a couple months and did that, it worked okay on my Core i7, but I eventually moved back because my RAID 1 mirror was nearly destroyed, if you do it be sure to backup all important data before making the move | 02:24 |
| Breekzy | ActionParsnip: Thanks :) | 02:24 |
| jamiewan | Chikokishi, check your hardware tab, and the profile settings there | 02:25 |
| minimec | Chikokishi: The sound server pulseaudio seems to run correctly. Can you do some 'Hardware tests' in the 'Hardware Tab' (Test Speakers)? | 02:25 |

| Chikokishi | i just tried the tests, i heard nothing | 02:25 |
| Jujugoboom | Pox click this link http://bit.ly/hu2Ipk | 02:26 |

| minimec | Chikokishi: Check 'Analog Stereo Duplex/Output' | 02:27 |
| jamiewan | Chikokishi, the output tab balance control?? | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | ^Phantom^: i have no idea, try searching the file system | 02:28 |
| ^Phantom^ | okay | 02:28 |
| sacarlson | dapeamel: in wicd try another wpa supplicant driver other than wext try the 82??? driver instead | 02:28 |
| ^Phantom^ | thank you | 02:28 |
| steff12321 | how do i gain access to write to /usr through terminal | 02:28 |
| crazybrain | VIdeo streams very slowly in the Media Player | 02:28 |

| Chikokishi | iv recently installed the compiz extra features pack | 02:29 |
| Breekzy | ^Phantom^: check under My Documents :) | 02:29 |
| Chikokishi | might that affect my sound? | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | steff12321: use: sudo -i and do what you need, then run: exit when you are done | 02:29 |
| jamiewan | no | 02:29 |
| dapeamel | sacarlson, would you like to explain more in detail please | 02:29 |
| ^Phantom^ | ActionParsnip, i figure since ubuntu actually picks up my drive as being there, i should hopefully be able to mount it to vbox | 02:29 |
| jamiewan | wouldn't imagine so | 02:29 |
| bullgard | steff12321: Use the prefix in front of your terminal command. | 02:29 |
| ^Phantom^ | if not, i'll go windows side :D | 02:29 |
| bullgard | steff12321: Use the prefix sudo in front of your terminal command. | 02:29 |
| sacarlson | dapeamel: wicd>preferences>wpa supplicant drive> NOT wext pick something else | 02:30 |
| minimec | Chikokishi: compiz shouldn't affect your sound. | 02:30 |
| steff12321 | bullgard: it doesnt work, i need it for a "make" command | 02:30 |
| jamiewan | Chikokishi, are you on a laptop or desktop | 02:30 |
| Chikokishi | minimec i wouldnt think so, but thats all that iv found | 02:30 |
| steff12321 | bullgard: and for a "make install" | 02:30 |
| Chikokishi | maybe i need to update drivers and such? | 02:30 |
| Chikokishi | jamiewan laptiop | 02:30 |
| jamiewan | so your using the on board speakers? | 02:31 |
| bullgard | steff12321: Ah! You did put an incomplete question here in this channel. | 02:31 |
| dapeamel | sacarlson, instead of? | 02:31 |
| minimec | steff12321: I would always compile in /home/yourname and then only do a 'sudo make install' to install the files in the correct directories. | 02:31 |
| Chikokishi | jamie yes | 02:31 |
| steff12321 | bullgard: haha, sorry about that, i need to install a BNC, and it sais: Cannot write to *** :permission denied | 02:31 |
| ^Phantom^ | ActionParsnip, oh bugger all. it seems i put my windows 98 vdi on one of my hard drives that is not inside the tower | 02:31 |
| sacarlson | dapeamel: I don't know the name of the one you should use I only know the one you should NOT use wext, the one that should work is like 82?? something. I don't have the wicd installed so I can't see it but as seen here http://wicd.sourceforge.net/screenshot.php | 02:32 |
| dapeamel | ok | 02:32 |
| k04n | hey, whats the quickest and easiest way to set up a temporary forwarding, of port X on my local adapter to port Y on a public interface? | 02:33 |

| dapeamel | ty | 02:33 |
| k04n | in otherwords, i want to let people in, to my port thats on my local adapter | 02:33 |
| ActionParsnip | k04n: set it up in your router | 02:33 |
| steff12321 | bullgard: thanks | 02:33 |
| k04n | ActionParsnip: not on router...on the machine...the port isnt even exposed to the ethernet on the machine | 02:33 |
| === Zuzak is now known as MC8|away | ||
| minimec | steff12321: Other solution would be to compile in /tmp, if you dont need the source files anymore afterwards. Like that you have less 'chunk' in your /home/yourname directory. | 02:34 |
| webcoder | i'm running ubuntu 10.10 server (32 bit) and want to setup email that can be used by PHP's mail() function but I can also setup email users for any of the domains hosted on the server... any suggestions or links to tutorials that work | 02:34 |

| webcoder | what i really need is an SMTP server that accepts connections from localhost without a login and IMAP where I can setup any email address | 02:36 |
| webcoder | i tried following this: http://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-ubuntu-10.10-maverick | 02:37 |
| webcoder | when i went to telnet into postfix to test it just hung | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Rdaneel: can you used: http://pastie.org and give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; echo; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf Thanks | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard: sure | 02:38 |
| bullgard | ActionParsnip: Thank you. | 02:38 |
| subminuentisch | does someone know a site where i can learn how to setup grub | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard: just use software centre or apt-get and it will be fine | 02:38 |
| subminuentisch | manually | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub2 | subminuentisch | 02:39 |
| ubottu | subminuentisch: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 02:39 |

| minimec | steff12321: what do you want to compile and why. Isn't there a package for your software in the repositories? | 02:39 |
| bullgard | ActionParsnip: Synaptic is less suitable for this purpose? | 02:39 |
| steff12321 | minimec: no | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | steff12321: like I said, if you run: sudo -i you can do what you need, then run: exit to end | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | bullgard: it's no different | 02:40 |
| bullgard | ActionParsnip: Ok. | 02:40 |
| subminuentisch | sry but there is noone in the grubchannel | 02:41 |
| steff12321 | ActionParsnip: is sudo -i its own command, or do i do sudo -i make | 02:42 |
| steff12321 | ?? | 02:42 |
| Rdaneel | ActionParsnip: here you have it: http://pastie.org/1581104 | 02:42 |
| jo-erlend1 | is it possible to place a window on two different workspaces, but not the rest? Or is it only possible to choose one or all? | 02:42 |

| share | How do I make a folder readable 'by others' ? | 02:43 |
| Chikokishi | What is the terminal command for updating sound drivers? | 02:43 |
| Breekzy | ActionParsnip: that is you are in demand :) hehe | 02:43 |
| minimec | steff12321: sudo -i gives you full root access to your system. In my eyes this is not the best solution but it works. After 'sudo -i' you should be able to continue with 'make' 'make install' | 02:43 |
| steff12321 | minimec: thanks | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Rdaneel: try again. Run: uname -a; lsb_release -a; echo; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf | 02:44 |
| jamiewan | share: right click on it and then permissions tab follow that | 02:44 |

| minimec | steff12321: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=znc&suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names ??? | 02:44 |
| steff12321 | minimec: thats what im doing, you still need to install it ;) | 02:45 |
| jo-erlend1 | share: how to make a folder readable... If a folder is readable, then you can see which files and folders it contains. If that's what you want, then chmod o+r /folder will do. If you want them to see the contents of files in that directory, then you'll need to do chmod o+r /folder/* | 02:45 |
| minimec | ohsix: Don't talk to me, as I have no problem ;) | 02:46 |
| ohsix | minimec: just a suggestion for recommendations | 02:46 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: its me that has the problem, but i think its fixed :) | 02:46 |
| jo-erlend1 | share: u is for user, g is for group and o is for others. You can use -R to make the changes apply to subdirectories and their files and folders. | 02:46 |

| jo-erlend1 | share: should the other user be able to read _files_ in that folder? | 02:47 |
| share | yes | 02:47 |
| steff12321 | minimec: for me, it doesnt work with apt-get - dont you think i would try that first? | 02:47 |
| Rdaneel | ActionParsnip: Here it is: http://pastie.org/1581125 | 02:48 |

| ershad | hello, May i know installing which gstreamer package would solve the rhythmbox seek-bar issue? | 03:06 |
| deejay | bullgard, is there a lubuntu support channel? I don't have the volume applet... :( | 03:06 |

| ohsix | ershad: unless you check you aren't; but it's pointless to argue | 03:12 |

| ershad | ohsix, and seek bar works well with ogg files | 03:24 |
| ohsix | they're probably not VBR then | 03:24 |
| ershad | ohsix, I read it from web that correct plugin must be installed to get the seekbar working | 03:25 |

| webcoder | got a weird one... running ubuntu 10.10 server. installed postfix but when it starts up it says the port is already in use. lsof says sendmail is attached to 25 but when i do sudo aptitude purge sendmail it doesn't remove it | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | faenor: you said earlier, considering the target audience of Ubuntu I think the phrasing is understood | 03:32 |
| webcoder | i did service sendmail stop and tried to start postfix but it didn't stop it either | 03:33 |
| roygbiv | webcoder maybe stop sendmail first then purge | 03:33 |
| webcoder | roygbiv: i'll give it a shot | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | faenor: the invention of language is to convey a message. If the message is sent and recieved and equally understood on both ends then the laguage used in the middle is moot | 03:33 |

| overclucker | faenor: You a stallmanite? | 03:35 |
| webcoder | roygbiv: excellent... killed sendmail and postfix finally starts up | 03:35 |

| roygbiv | try the purge now that the daemons have quit | 03:36 |

| roygbiv | not sure then webcoder | 03:37 |
| roygbiv | oh, that'll stop it from running on boot yes | 03:37 |
| roygbiv | but it doesn't delete the software | 03:37 |

| amit | how can we use tty mode in virtual box OS? | 03:40 |
| ActionParsnip | asustek: the default install comes with nouveau which can cause issues, the nomodeset bootoption fixes it in many cases. Once you get the proprietary driver in the system will be fine | 03:41 |
| ohsix | cause issues ;] | 03:41 |
| ohsix | be sure to report issues; so they can be fixed | 03:41 |

| durando | hey guys i have to reboot my laptop everytime i want to view my sdcard any ideas how to get this thing to auto mount, HP running 10.10 | 03:43 |
| jack_ | durando: reboot? are you unable to mount it manually? | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | durando: is the system a branded laptop or PC or is it a USB card reader? | 03:44 |
| Diamondcite | durando: So the SD card is your extended storage? Or just for getting picture off something like a camera? | 03:44 |
| durando | ActionParsnip: its hp branded into the notebook | 03:44 |
| jack_ | durando: GNOME handles the automounting of cdcards | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | durando: what model | 03:44 |
| jack_ | sd* | 03:44 |
| durando | i could more than likely mount manually if i knew | 03:44 |
| durando | ActionParsnip: the notebook or the reader? | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | durando: the notebook | 03:45 |
| durando | hang on not sure | 03:45 |
| steff12321 | im back :) | 03:45 |
| steff12321 | i need to know how to load modules into znc | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | durando: its massively important to mention the model. You should do that in subsequent questions | 03:45 |
| durando | is there a place in ubuntu that woudl tell me or do i have to tip the notebook try and read model | 03:45 |
| steff12321 | anyone here have ANY experience with znc? | 03:45 |
| durando | dv4 is the model | 03:46 |
| Diamondcite | durando: It should usually be on the bottom of the notebook, there should be a stick with lots of words, one of those being "Model" | 03:46 |
| Diamondcite | durando: dv4 is more like a series of notebooks, but it helps a bit ^_^ | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | durando: ok, remeber to add that next time | 03:46 |
| Kentrel | Hi, when I do a "tcpdump -i eth0" after rebooting I notice a lot of connections, even though I'm not running anything. Does that command also show connection attempts, by bittorrent users, etc? | 03:46 |
| jack_ | Why does the model matter? Out of curiousity. | 03:46 |
| === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker | ||
| Kentrel | not connections, but packets I guess | 03:47 |
| jack_ | Kentrel: tcpdump shows packets in and out of your interface | 03:47 |
| interpol | yes | 03:47 |
| afuentes | Why the first part in ~/.ssh/known_hosts is not human redable? is not suppose to be the machines ip? ive got 3 machines with ubuntu and all of them are full of nonsense characters | 03:47 |
| interpol | yes, packets in fact, tcpdump... | 03:47 |
| ActionParsnip | durando: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsusb | 03:47 |
| Diamondcite | jack_: For branded systems it helps us know if there is unit specific issues which might creep up and speeds up the problem solving. | 03:47 |
| Kentrel | jack, so I can be constantly bombarded with packets, but they're not actual connections? Does that slow my system down | 03:47 |
| interpol | else: do netstat -anpvlt | 03:47 |
| jack_ | afuentes: i believe they are encrypted | 03:47 |
| durando | dv4-2145dx | 03:47 |
| durando | sure | 03:48 |
| afuentes | so jack_ how am i suppose to read that file? | 03:48 |
| jack_ | Kentrel: what connects are they? | 03:48 |
| Kentrel | jack, they're mostly to do with the port that I last ran bittorrent on | 03:48 |
| jack_ | afuentes: you're not. it contains the encrypted keys of your machines | 03:48 |
| jack_ | Kentrel: thats on a fresh boot? | 03:48 |
| ohsix | it's _encoded_ | 03:48 |
| Kentrel | jack, yes | 03:48 |
| durando | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/ZrGfkha7 | 03:49 |
| jack_ | those are packets. im not sure if it shows packets that are not accepted | 03:49 |
| ohsix | Kentrel: people will keep trying to connect until they check the tracker again and see you're no longer on it | 03:49 |
| jack_ | eeeh i dont know why t | 03:49 |
| jack_ | 'those are pakcets' showed up | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | durando: ok, and: lspci Thanks | 03:49 |
| ohsix | some trackers have announce intervals as high as 40 minutes | 03:50 |
| Kentrel | Will those packets slow my system down, because sometimes I swear my internet connection becomes slow if I've been seeding, and then switch off Vuze | 03:50 |
| durando | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/bckfrEGi | 03:50 |
| === doug__ is now known as Guest50335 | ||
| ruan | Kentrel: you can limit the seeding rate | 03:50 |
| jack_ | I just setup a tcpdump on my machine monitoring port 23 and tried to connect. i get a connection refused and no packets show up on the tcpdump | 03:50 |
| Diamondcite | Kentrel: Generally a connection would slow down if you upload too much, but those residual connections should not hurt | 03:50 |
| ohsix | Kentrel: your isp might be doing the slowing down when it sees bittorrent traffic, even a thousand connections a second to a port that is closed uses very little resources | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | durando: ok it's a JMicron Technology SD card reader | 03:51 |
| interpol | get the source of tcpdump and read it ;) | 03:51 |
| Kentrel | ah, I see | 03:51 |
| ohsix | Kentrel: if you want to see how often your network card is waking up your computermachine, itop can show it | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | durando: possible fixes here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/258446 | 03:52 |
| afuentes | jack_, so is there no way to tell what machines those keys belong to? | 03:53 |
| steff12321 | Kentrel: if you wanna solve basically all of your bittorrent problems, my suggestion is, get a seedboc | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | steff12321: not if the ISP is doing what ohsix said | 03:55 |
| steff12321 | ActionParsnip: yeah, but the seedbox will definitely help him get better speeds, and, im guessing his ISP also throttles the BT connection | 03:56 |
| bob_ | hi everyone! | 03:57 |
| steff12321 | hi | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | steff12321: so any system running standard torrent protocol will be hit, seedbox or not | 03:58 |
| bob_ | I've downloaded ZendStudio-8.0.0-x86.tar.gz for ubuntu. how should I install it? | 03:58 |
| steff12321 | ActionParsnip: external seedbox; not from his network, he gets the files via ftp | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | steff12321: freaky | 04:00 |
| MockY | In fstab, how do I escape the ' symbol (apostrophe) when dealing with cifs? One of the Windows shares I need to mount has an apostrophe in its name. | 04:00 |
| jack_ | durando: does the problem only occur with the sdcard? what about usb thumbdrives? same issue? | 04:00 |
| durando | jack_: i dont have a usb stick | 04:00 |
| durando | in fact i only have this sd card as part of the new rules at work | 04:00 |
| jack_ | do you have any other type of storage? how about a cd. does that get mounted automagically? | 04:00 |
| durando | god i hate life | 04:00 |
| Diamondcite | durando: What is needed for the SD card? do you need to remove it often? | 04:00 |
| ohsix | durando: does the card reader show up in lsusb | 04:00 |
| ruan | Kentrel: also, you can use torrent encryption if you suspect your isp is slowing you down, this will hide bittorrent traffic | 04:00 |
| Diamondcite | ohsix: It shows according to ActionParsnip. | 04:00 |
| durando | Diamondcite: yeah its gotta be removed every day and put in the safe at work | 04:00 |
| ohsix | ruan: not quite, at least for the type of throttling that slows your whole line down if you're doing it | 04:00 |
| Diamondcite | durando: Do you unmount before removing it? (not eject) | 04:00 |
| durando | Diamondcite: after we figure out this issue of getting it to mount correctly i also need to figure out a way to encrypt it | 04:00 |
| ohsix | ruan: and if you allow incoming connections that aren't encrypted the isp can still identify that the port is being used for bittorrent traffic | 04:00 |
| durando | Diamondcite: i haven't dont it yet like i said just got it | 04:00 |
| ruan | ohsix: you can force incoming connections to be encrypted too | 04:00 |
| Diamondcite | durando: Well truecrypt might help you with encryption needs (I don't know how to use it yet) | 04:00 |
| ohsix | ruan: you can, but you can't force what other clients do | 04:00 |
| ruan | ohsix: it rejects non-encrypted traffic, i've experienced that | 04:00 |
| Diamondcite | durando: Part of manual mounting.. when an sd card is inserted... it should create a new /dev/sd* device... | 04:00 |
| ohsix | that's all well and good; but the traffic can still be identified by what had been sent before and shortly after the connection is closed on the receiving end | 04:00 |
| durando | i thought these things were supposed to auto mount? | 04:00 |
| durando | it mounted when i rebooted | 04:00 |
| ruan | that might be encrypted too | 04:00 |
| ohsix | durando: they are | 04:00 |
| Diamondcite | durando: boots mounts everything it sees, how ever, since the card isn't insert as a fresh USB drive, the automount might mis-detect | 04:00 |
| Diamondcite | (Did a server just die?) | 04:00 |
| ruan | though i think connections are opened with encryption | 04:00 |
| ohsix | Diamondcite: not quite, udisks knows about drives with removable media; and that's how card readers show up, unless they're weird and disappear alltogether when a card isn't in it, or something weirder | 04:00 |
| ruan | so they wont close without it | 04:00 |
| ohsix | heh | 04:00 |
| durando | do how do we fix? | 04:00 |
| steff12321 | ActionParsnip: you should look into it, you want the link? | 04:00 |
| ohsix | ruan: only way to know if an incoming connection is encrypted is to accept it and read some of it | 04:00 |
| ruan | ohsix: true | 04:00 |

| ActionParsnip | steff12321: send what? | 04:06 |
| asustek | ?#debian | 04:07 |
| Diamondcite | steff12321: Why not do it from your home if you don't have a data transfer limit? | 04:07 |
| jrgill | well i have a laptop cd drive. i guess its sata. do i need a special flag when booting the live cd? | 04:07 |
| ActionParsnip | asustek: try: /join #debian | 04:07 |
| steff12321 | Diamondcite: i have an 80gb/mo BW cap | 04:07 |
| jrgill | jack_: trying to boot the live cd | 04:08 |
| steff12321 | Diamondcite: plus i have only 15 Mbps | 04:08 |
| jack_ | jrgill: ? are you not able to get into the live environmetn at all? | 04:08 |

| steff12321 | Diamondcite: and i need to seed too (on private trackers) | 04:08 |
| jack_ | how far do you get? | 04:08 |
| jack_ | jrgill: ^ | 04:08 |
| slie | who all here has moved totally to grub2? | 04:08 |
| ohsix | steff12321: seed to a machine on the lan ;] | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | steff12321: what do you want me to send you exactly? | 04:08 |
| asustek | ActionParsnip: lol ty | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | slie: i have | 04:08 |
| steff12321 | ActionParsnip: where do you get that speed, the fastest thats avaliable in canada is 100 for @150/mo | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | asustek: np :) | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | steff12321: it's my home lan... | 04:09 |
| steff12321 | ActionParsnip: whats your internet speed then? | 04:09 |
| aroman | hey guys, does anyone have any idea how to customize a text string in ubiquity? | 04:09 |
| jack_ | ActionParsnip: when you say home lan are you talking about like... a hop being your router and thats it? ;P | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | steff12321: 8Mb | 04:09 |
| slie | ActionParsnip, you like it better? | 04:09 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: they can notice cheating, trust me, i am a mod at a BT site | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | jack_: yeah, system, router, server | 04:09 |
| bob_ | can you show me some commands to install an app from a local source? | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | slie: doesnt matter me any, I don't dual boot | 04:10 |
| jrgill | jack_: can't get into the environment at all. failing to load the cd drive seems to halt the process. | 04:10 |
| ohsix | steff12321: no they can't, unless you're the only one in the peers for the one torrent and they're the uploader | 04:10 |
| jack_ | jrgill: so you've set the machine to boot from cdrom but it fails to boot? the machine halts? | 04:10 |
| ohsix | steff12321: plus you can stop registering downloads at all by not contacting the tracker after the initial scrape | 04:10 |
| ohsix | steff12321: or you can not scrape at all and get peers from somewhere else | 04:11 |
| jrgill | jack_: it brings me to a wizard to select keyboard, language, etc, and then it says it cannot detect the cd drive and asks me to specify some modules via floppy. | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jack_: does it stop at a black screen? | 04:11 |
| jack_ | jrgill: i see. is it hte newest version of ubuntu? it sounds like the drivers for hte cdrom arent able to be loaded | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | jack_: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html - Cached | 04:11 |
| ohsix | steff12321: trust me i know it's all bullshit built on top of 2 numbers that the torrent client happens to send to the tracker ;] | 04:11 |
| jack_ | ActionParsnip: wat. i have no black screen issues. :P | 04:11 |
| jrgill | jack_: it's old: 5.04 | 04:12 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: i meant if you seed to a local machine, but still, u could always use RM | 04:12 |
| jack_ | jrdnyquist: why are you using 5.04??? | 04:12 |
| jack_ | jrgill: ^ | 04:12 |
| jack_ | jrdnyquist: unping. | 04:12 |

| ubottu | ohsix: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 04:12 |
| ohsix | steff12321: RM is detectable, any given torrent client is not | 04:12 |
| jrgill | i ordered a bunch of those free CDs back when they were doing that | 04:12 |
| jack_ | jrgill: 5.04 is 6 years old. | 04:12 |
| asustek | i wonder if it is a southbridge (ide controller) problem because on a windows 7 install it hangs on extracting files? | 04:13 |
| ohsix | steff12321: you need to do hardcore statistical tests on the peer data to even tell if more bandwidth is going one way than the other, and even then with more than 2 people you can't tell who's doing it definitively | 04:13 |
| jrgill | lmao | 04:13 |
| ohsix | steff12321: AND that same client could also be downloading, and uploading very slow, to stay in the noise | 04:13 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: tu she | 04:14 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: tu shae* | 04:14 |
| ohsix | it's really all down to who's on the torrent and how low key you want to be, but if you're just uploading you can find a popular torrent with 20+ people on it and just do it there | 04:14 |
| jack_ | jrgill: try using 10.10 or 10.04. they'll probably work. new releases are out every 6 months making your copy 12 releases behind. | 04:14 |

| frybye | Hi - how do I get the messed-up non-sorted kontacts on ubuntu one to be properly useable in evoloution (with 10.10?) | 04:15 |
| svelte | hey, can anyone help me out? grub isn't working and I have no idea what to do (didn't just install windows partition) | 04:16 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: dispersethe.net | 04:16 |
| jack_ | svelte: what is grub doing? | 04:16 |
| ruan | svelte: what happens at boot? | 04:16 |
| svelte | just hangs right after bios | 04:16 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: new site, just made last sept | 04:16 |
| ohsix | steff12321: neat | 04:16 |
| NooBoontoo | Ok, so everytime i login Ubuntu I have to change permissions on nvidia0 and nvidiactl and change my screen resolution, how can i just login and automatically work | 04:16 |
| svelte | blinking cursor, no grub indication | 04:16 |
| jack_ | svelte: perhaps it cannot read your mbr. boot up with livecd and re-install it | 04:16 |
| ruan | svelte: is the grub drive set to boot priority #1? | 04:16 |
| svelte | yes, it is | 04:17 |
| ohsix | steff12321: do the world a favor and be a good mod, the numbers can be completely faked and are meaningless, don't let it fit into your decisions :] | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | svelte: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html - Cached | 04:17 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: you should join :) | 04:17 |
| jack_ | NooBoontoo: what ar eyou changing hte permissions to? | 04:17 |
| ruan | svelte: it could choose any drive | 04:17 |
| ruan | svelte: it did that with me, installed grub on other drive | 04:17 |
| svelte | I have 10.10 | 04:17 |
| NooBoontoo | jack_ so I can use Blender | 04:17 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: we actually have no cheaters atm, and a small database of only 1500 people, | 04:17 |
| svelte | but my livecd is 9.04 | 04:17 |
| ActionParsnip | svelte: it will work in either | 04:17 |
| svelte | is that fine? | 04:17 |
| jack_ | NooBoontoo: not why. what are you changing the permissions to? and from what? | 04:17 |
| ohsix | steff12321: there aren't any cheaters when you can't trust the information you use, that's my point | 04:18 |
| ruan | svelte: do you have only one hard drive? | 04:18 |
| svelte | it's not a graphics card problem | 04:18 |
| jack_ | NooBoontoo: are you using nvidia's propriatry drivers? or hte open source ubuntu drivers? | 04:18 |
| svelte | yeah, only one, but I have multiple partitions | 04:18 |
| jack_ | svelte: get into livecd and reinstall it | 04:18 |
| NooBoontoo | jack, Nvidia's | 04:18 |
| svelte | I'm in it | 04:18 |
| svelte | looking at my grub partition right now | 04:18 |
| slie | D-punch | 04:18 |
| jack_ | NooBoontoo: are you able to execute the nvidia config utility? | 04:18 |
| webcoder | ugh... i'm about to pull my last hair out. postfix with dovecot and mysql... dovecot is working fine... postfix just keeps bouncing every email | 04:19 |
| ruan | svelte: the grub partition has to be accessible or else it wont boot.. i learned that the hard way | 04:19 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: you should apply to be a mod there, applications are closing soon | 04:19 |
| ohsix | steff12321: statistical methods can detect the maximum bandwidth you've seen from a given user on a given ip address or network; when it exceeds that after you have a really solid baseline by an order of magnitude, you can at least ask them to prove the upload speed of their line | 04:19 |
| svelte | ruan, what could have caused it to break so suddenly though? | 04:19 |
| svelte | I haven't changed any settings at all since my last reboot | 04:19 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: i just look for radical jumps in BW usage of the tracker | 04:19 |
| ActionParsnip | NooBoontoo: try: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings setup the display then click 'save to x config file' should be ok | 04:19 |
| ruan | svelte: not sure | 04:19 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: then look at the new user's UL bw | 04:19 |
| ohsix | steff12321: by asking them to send you a file from that address, nothing else is provable; but you will identify real cheaters that way, they'll just have made a huge mistake | 04:20 |
| jack_ | the grub partition? grub is installed in the mbr on the disk and then reads from /boot i believe. | 04:20 |
| steff12321 | ohsix: thats a pretty good method :) | 04:20 |
| NooBoontoo | ActionParnsip: Well, yeah, I always save the new configuration as root, but everytime i login is the same | 04:20 |
| svelte | right, meant boot sorry | 04:20 |
| ohsix | steff12321: science! | 04:21 |
| ActionParsnip | NooBoontoo: strange, does /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 04:21 |
| jack_ | NooBoontoo: you are using the nvidia utility? those options should be set to your xorg file and pull up at boot time. | 04:21 |
| svelte | so how would I go about reinstalling grub? | 04:21 |
| svelte | and will I lose access to my xp partition? | 04:22 |
| jack_ | svelte: im not too sure about grub2 but i think there are forum posts about it online | 04:22 |
| jack_ | svelte: you shouldn't | 04:22 |
| jack_ | you can probe it | 04:22 |
| jrgill | i should be able to work on this tv w/ some modelines in x via livecd right? | 04:22 |
| ruan | svelte: you could possibly google "reinstall grub" | 04:22 |
| jrgill | its just vga | 04:22 |
| sacarlson | svelte: you could try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/562593/ | 04:22 |

| frybye | try again: how to get the unsorted contacts on ubuntu one sorted into evoloution so as to be useable? | 04:23 |
| svelte | ruan, I really just wanted to make sure that there's no difference between the grub on 9.04 (which is the livecd) and 10.10 | 04:23 |
| NooBoontoo | ActionParsnip, I have like Xorg.log.old thru Xorg.log5.5.old files and filesafe files and a Xorg.99.log file, Why do I have all of those? | 04:23 |
| [core] | svelte: update-grub2 | 04:23 |

| ruan | svelte: it receives it from internet i think | 04:23 |
| jack_ | NooBoontoo: they're rotated files | 04:23 |
| svelte | and I can do this from a livecd? just reinstall grub on /boot? | 04:24 |
| NooBoontoo | jack_, What can i do then? | 04:24 |
| jack_ | NooBoontoo: can you walk me thorugh the process you use to set your resolution? | 04:25 |
| sacarlson | svelte: I tested my one liner grub2 reinstall with virtualbox yestarday with: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 04:25 |
| costas | svelte, there's a tutorial about grub2, it's easy | 04:25 |
| jack_ | svelte: there is a section called 'how to do this from livecd' just read it. follow the directions. its all there | 04:25 |

| NooBoontoo | jack_, sudo bash, nvidia-settings, (set it up) , save file, | 04:26 |

| tripps | I like the power saving features of ubuntu and laptop mode tools for my laptop. However, one annoyance is that when my display dims after a period of non-use, and I begin using it again, it doesn't go back to the brightness it was before it dimmed. I have to manually brighten it each time. Any ideas how to fix? | 04:54 |
| milamber | thangavel: i know the *basics* the best way to really learn is get involved in a project. find something that interests you and see if the devs are looking for help. if they are they will give you a place to start. and fwiw i don't think borland has updated any of their stuff in years. depending on which os you want to develop for you may want to look into an alternative. | 04:55 |
| darkjedi | Im new to all of this. I have problems with man man. I cant understand what to do. Are there any tutorials for the clueless | 04:55 |

| poss | Anyone? Installing ubuntu and it has frozen during partition, what do I do? Will rebooting and trying again jeapodize the existing data? | 05:30 |
| expecto | thanks milamber | 05:30 |
| ohsix | poss: there are logs in /tmp and /var from the installer that should say more about what step its stuck on | 05:31 |
| ruan | any hard drive operations that freeze create danger | 05:31 |
| costas | poss, I suggest formatting partitions that will be used for Ubuntu... | 05:32 |
| p0ss | damn connection droppin out | 05:33 |
| silverlightning | how do you go about registering? | 05:33 |
| rww | silverlightning: /join #freenode and ask there. | 05:34 |
| silverlightning | thanks | 05:34 |
| milamber | expecto: are you using the command line? | 05:34 |
| silverlightning | irc is really cumbersome | 05:34 |
| === _the_dreamer_ is now known as jiohdi | ||
| jrgill | nice how they included proprietary drivers as well | 05:34 |
| silverlightning | worse than word perfect and the old DOS window for beginners | 05:34 |
| * p0ss asks again, if the ubuntu install freezes during partitioning, will restarting jeapodize existing data? | 05:35 | |
| Tristantio | ok guys anyone familiar enough with wine to answer this please do so. I want to run 2 different apps each in their own virtual desktop instead of sharing. | 05:35 |
| Tristantio | Is such a thing possible? | 05:35 |
| shcherbak | p0ss: yes | 05:35 |
| shcherbak | p0ss: Start reading about datarecovery | 05:36 |
| ohsix | Tristantio: things in different prefixes should be separate | 05:36 |
| p0ss | shcerbak, it has been frozen at %50 for over an hour, should i give it longer? | 05:36 |
| costas | Tristantio, 2 instances of wine perhaps? | 05:36 |
| ohsix | but you can also run explorer more than once, which is really what the virtual desktop stuff is | 05:36 |
| Tristantio | ohsix, sorry for the noob question but what do you mean by prefixes? | 05:36 |
| Meway | p0ss, I ruined a 70gb hardrive like that | 05:36 |
| nmvictor | I have found a liking in fortran programming language, especially fortrann 2003, anyone here programming in fortran to tell me how I can do that in ubuntu? I mean the tools, IDEs or anything I would find usefull | 05:37 |
| Tristantio | Basically, i have a copy of a game I want to run 2 clients for via wine. Currently both copies run in the same virtual desktop | 05:37 |
| Tristantio | which cauess one of the copies to mess up | 05:37 |
| shcherbak | p0ss: resizeing partition takes time, circe 1Mb of data per few minutes. | 05:37 |
| Tristantio | i want them to not know each other are running | 05:37 |
| costas | p0ss, do a format... bad blocks will be fixed, start negotiating with your hard disk merchant for a bargain | 05:37 |
| sinistrad | !fortran | 05:37 |
| abhinav_singh | how to check if my processor is 32 bit 0r 64 bit | 05:38 |
| p0ss | oh crap, i did not realise that was a potential, i would never have upgraded if i had known how much trouble it is | 05:38 |
| nmvictor | abhinav_singh, cat /proc/cpu.info | 05:38 |
| milamber | Tristantio: what do you mean by virtual desktop? i don't think i am understanding the question. | 05:38 |
| shcherbak | p0ss: is CapsLock working? (means keaboard at all) | 05:38 |
| p0ss | so resizing a 250gb drive could take days? | 05:39 |
| costas | p0ss, there's nothing wrong with Ubuntu upgrades, disk drives do get damaged eventually | 05:39 |
| jiohdi | p0ss, not likely | 05:39 |
| shcherbak | p0ss: rather hours | 05:39 |
| ruan | i resized an 80gb and it took 3 mins | 05:39 |
| p0ss | no idea.. I just hit reset | 05:39 |
| nmvictor | abhinav_singh, run that command I guess, Im told their is a flag to indicate 64 bit , if the flag s missing on that output, its probably a 32 bit, You computer manual might also help | 05:39 |
| icedtea | p0ss: if there's lots of free space and resizing the drive could only take 15 minutes or so | 05:40 |
| abhinav_singh | nmvictor I am not getting the flag.. | 05:40 |
| Starminn | abhinav_singh: "uname -a" it'll be right before "GNU/Linux" -- if it says something about AMD64 then it's 64-bit. | 05:40 |

| jrgill | sound, bluetooth, wi-fi, nice crisp display. such great support on the live cd. :) | 05:40 |
| pinnacle | !penis | 05:40 |
| shcherbak | p0ss: Do you have any control on machine besides power button? | 05:40 |
| Starminn | abhinav_singh: Alternatively if it says "i686" i586 i396 or whatever then it's not 64-bit (regardless of if it's intel or not) | 05:40 |
| puppy | how to find the partition where I installed Ubuntu | 05:41 |
| jrgill | now if i could my external monitor working :S | 05:41 |
| milamber | abhinav_singh: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 05:41 |
| p0ss | there was a lot of free space, but it had taken at least an hour | 05:41 |
| p0ss | nope | 05:41 |
| Tristantio | abhinav_singh, can't you just do the following command lshw | 05:41 |
| Tristantio | and look under cpu | 05:41 |
| Tristantio | the "width" is how many bit it is | 05:41 |
| shcherbak | !data recovery ! p0ss | 05:41 |

| jiohdi | n2diy preferences appearance customize | 05:42 |
| costas | abhinav_singh, on a terminal type "uname -a" | 05:42 |
| shcherbak | sorry, need to upgrade myself | 05:42 |
| puppy | how to find the partition where I installed Ubuntu | 05:42 |
| abhinav_singh | Tristantio it is saying width is 32 bit | 05:42 |
| Tristantio | uname -a will show what bit the distro is | 05:42 |
| Tristantio | that you are running | 05:42 |
| Tristantio | but you can have 64 bit proc and run 32 bit distro | 05:42 |
| Tristantio | if your width is 32bit thats what your processor is | 05:43 |
| Tristantio | you can see more info about it do | 05:43 |
| p0ss | this time it froze at trying to contact the time server | 05:43 |
| Tristantio | cat /proc/cpuinfo | 05:43 |
| Starminn | As I said before: abhinav_singh: "uname -a" it'll be right before "GNU/Linux" -- if it says something about AMD64 then it's 64-bit. | 05:43 |
| Tristantio | Starminn you like earthbound? :) | 05:43 |
| jiohdi | p0ss hardware issue? | 05:43 |
| p0ss | I'm getting the feeling i have just completely and utterly bricked my uncle's work computer by trying to upgrade :( | 05:43 |
| costas | Tristantio, peeps with 64bit cpus should use 64bit distros... | 05:43 |
| Starminn | Tristantio: Earthbound? | 05:43 |
| shcherbak | p0ss: This one is obligatory reading: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 05:43 |

| expecto | yes | 05:44 |
| Tristantio | Starmen are people in it, wasn't sure if your name was a take on it | 05:44 |
| expecto | im here | 05:44 |
| milamber | expecto: are you using the command line? | 05:44 |
| Tristantio | also yea 64 should use 64 distro but sometimes people miss it | 05:44 |
| puppy | tristantio: pls help me to find out the partition where I installed Ubuntu | 05:44 |
| Tristantio | and changing distro from 32 to 64 is a huge pain in the arse | 05:44 |
| costas | p0ss, select expert install and format the partitions that will house the upgrade... | 05:44 |
| expecto | i was afk | 05:44 |
| expecto | which command line? | 05:44 |
| expecto | :/ | 05:44 |
| Tristantio | puppy you can use the "locate" command to find lots of things quickly if you know what are looking ofr | 05:44 |
| milamber | expecto: hokay, let's take it from the top. you downloaded the file. did you extract it? | 05:44 |
| ruan | command line = terminal | 05:44 |
| Starminn | Tristantio: Nope. A few other places I see similar names to this one, including in a book I'm reading. To be honest I don't know where the name came from as I didn't come up with it. Long story short, a friend gave me his Runescape account a long time and I've used the same name since. | 05:45 |
| expecto | yes | 05:45 |
| poss_ | connection dropped out again, sorry | 05:45 |
| Tristantio | @Starminn - ahh gotcha | 05:45 |

| xorwhy | Where do I input the IP address and port of a proxy that is to be applied system-wide? I'm using the gnome desktop, if that helps | 06:05 |
| milamber | expecto: the sudo apt-get command installed a dependency you were missing. but you will have to cd into the directory and then run the prog, yes. there are ways to create shortcuts though if that gets too cumbersome. | 06:05 |

| poss_ | Starminn, so fdisk shows the drives are there, but when i actually go to mount them it says they dont exist | 06:11 |
| ohsix | KXTwo: thats the only thing some people do, typing is hard | 06:11 |
| xorwhy | I added a proxy to "Network Proxy Preferences" and clicked "Apply system-wide" but it did not work. | 06:11 |
| poss_ | "mount: special device dev/sda1 does not exist" | 06:11 |
| Senjai | ohsix, all so hard. | 06:11 |
| Chikokishi | blue1 i have "enable wireless" but thats it | 06:11 |
| costas | poss_, check disk manager in synaptic, install it and mount your disks properly | 06:11 |
| Guest26553 | tnx i try it now | 06:11 |
| icedtea | poss_: what command are you using to mount it exactly? | 06:11 |
| Starminn | poss_: I've never had to mount a drive myself, so beyond the simple "howto" I'm not of much use. Perhaps others will chime in? | 06:11 |
| poss_ | costas: that would require me having a gui | 06:12 |
| KXTwo | ohsix, apparantly lol, I ask for personal opinions on torrent clients and I get a bot response of a list of all of them, obviously I could have done that myself lol | 06:12 |
| costas | use man mount for more info | 06:12 |
| Blue1 | Chikokishi: are you logged in as root, or no? | 06:12 |
| Senjai | costas, that manual sucks, I can't even understand it. | 06:12 |

| Chikokishi | Blue1 Ok i got it | 06:13 |
| Chikokishi | Blue1 Ok i got it | 06:13 |
| icedtea | try sudo mount /dev/sda1 /test/drives/250 | 06:13 |
| Blue1 | Chikokishi: okay that will make the wireless connection available to anyone. | 06:13 |
| KXTwo | ohsix, im a utorrent fan on my windows machine, its so lite weight and simple, but no GUI yet, just command line | 06:13 |
| Starminn | KXTwo: You want me to bot you for "best"? :) When people ask for personal opinions/best apps in here they get a lecture on how "best" for Person A is different from Person B's opinion of "best." Which is true. Personally I use the default Transmission. I've tried Vuze but wasn't a fan. | 06:14 |
| poss_ | that was the third command icedtea, or was there some subtle difference i missed? | 06:14 |
| Chikokishi | Oh, so my "guest" account will be able to use it? | 06:14 |
| costas | KXTwo, I just use Transmission on Debian... | 06:14 |
| icedtea | poss_: you left out the forward "/" | 06:14 |
| Senjai | Transmission is great :) | 06:14 |
| icedtea | or backslash rather | 06:14 |
| Starminn | KXTwo: Then again, I'm not a big torrent user. :) | 06:14 |
| Blue1 | Chikokishi: yes, as long as "available to all users" is enabled for that wireless connection. | 06:14 |

| Blue1 | Chikokishi: irq conflicts, but that's extremely rare these days. | 06:16 |
| Chikokishi | Blue1, its strange, it worked fine this morning.. then it didnt | 06:16 |
| Blue1 | Chikokishi: we can poke around a little. | 06:16 |
| Blue1 | Chikokishi: private message ok? | 06:16 |
| KXTwo | I think I used vuze and azureus for windows and didnt care for either of them | 06:16 |
| Starminn | KXTwo: I have a pretty speedy connection and Transmission gets the job done fine. Could it be faster? Maybe. *shrug* I've not tried much else honestly because there's no need for it for me. Again though, I only use on occasion so if it's not top speed I'm okay with that. But just try them all out, man. Pick a torrent and use the same one for every client. Compare/contrast. | 06:17 |
| Senjai | KXTwo, uTorrent is the best for Windows, imo | 06:17 |
| icedtea | poss_: so it works? | 06:17 |
| Abinadi | ok, before anyone !vbox - es me I'm only asking in here because there isn't anyone at home over there. I have a Maverick Host OS and am using VirtualBox with a guest OS of Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate and I can't seem to get Windows to recognize the sound card. Any pointers? | 06:17 |
| poss_ | now it is telling me I must specifiy a filesystem type, but i don't see anything about that in the documentation | 06:17 |
| KXTwo | Senjai, I agree, thats why I was hoping it had a linux version and it does but command line only. Supposedly they are working on it though | 06:17 |
| Senjai | Starminn, Remember, that speed is not just determinent on software, also your connection, router, number of peers, and how fast they're connections are | 06:17 |
| Starminn | poss_: By the way, to get your GUI back type in "CTRL+ALT+F7". F1->F6 are terminals. | 06:18 |
| Senjai | Starminn, use a popular torrent with a low # of leechers, and test among different clients | 06:18 |
| royale1223 | i made an aptoncd dvd but synaptic is not detecting it. Why? This problem is only on my administrator account. | 06:18 |
| bazhang | silverlightning,try ##linux this is Ubuntu only | 06:18 |
| Starminn | Senjai: I know, thus why I suggested he use the same torrent file for each client. | 06:18 |
| poss_ | thanks Starminn, I figured that out last night, but it was a tense few minutes while googling on my phone :P | 06:18 |
| Starminn | poss_: Lol. Same here first time I did it | 06:19 |
| === Dora is now known as Guest50718 | ||
| icedtea | poss_: what type of filesystem is it do you know ? is its windows or linux like? | 06:19 |
| royale1223 | i made an aptoncd dvd but synaptic is not detecting it. Why? This problem is only on my administrator account. | 06:19 |
| poss_ | I have a 250 gb linux a 1TB windows and an 80gb linux | 06:19 |
| icedtea | poss_: which one are you trying to mount? | 06:20 |
| Starminn | poss_: What's the filesystem type? If Windows it's NTFS. If Linux it's probably ext<something>. To specify filesystem type while mounting you type in "mount -t <filesystem type> ......" with .... being the rest of the comman. | 06:20 |
| ruan | you can tell what it is with sudo fdisk -l | 06:20 |
| poss_ | to be honest, im not even sure what I'm doing anymore, i jsut want the computer to work | 06:20 |
| costas | Chikokishi, you use alsa or oss? | 06:21 |
| Senjai | poss_ welcome to linux :P | 06:21 |
| Starminn | Senjai: :) | 06:21 |
| poss_ | so the two small drives both have data i want to rescue on them | 06:21 |
| poss_ | the big drive is completely empty but its external so its slow | 06:22 |
| costas | poss don't listen to them Ubuntu is stable enough... after all it's debian based... | 06:22 |
| Tristantio | poss do they show up when you do "df -h" ? | 06:22 |
| Senjai | I remember spending hours reconfiguring iptables, my router and everything to get apache to work externally, just to find out i had firestarter running in the background. | 06:22 |
| icedtea | poss_: are you trying to mount the windows drive or linux one? | 06:22 |
| poss_ | both | 06:22 |
| Senjai | costas, not implying instability, just saying linux, at it its points, has a steep learning curve. | 06:22 |
| icedtea | poss_: one at a time please :) | 06:23 |
| poss_ | ok well the linux one worked.. i think.. i have no idea how to check, but it didn't give an error | 06:23 |
| Tristantio | poss_: do the drives show up with df -h? | 06:23 |
| poss_ | so its the windows one that is requiring a file type | 06:23 |
| icedtea | poss_: if its a windows drive do the following: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /blah/blah | 06:23 |
| Tristantio | "df -h" will show if it is mounted or not | 06:23 |
| costas | Senjai, linux is a read and practise OS, as opposed to closed source OSs. Yeah it's hard for the average point & click person but it's fine by me | 06:24 |
| Prinler | Ok, having issues. I was playing with an old | 06:24 |
| poss_ | its saying its not ntfs | 06:25 |
| Senjai | costas, I remember when I first got ubuntu, killed myself a few times before figuring somethings out. It's hard for anyone at first I think. | 06:25 |
| Senjai | poss_ windows is usually ntfs, or fat32 | 06:25 |
| icedtea | poss_: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /blah /blah | 06:25 |
| royale1223 | i made an aptoncd dvd but synaptic is not detecting it. Why? This problem is only on my administrator account. | 06:25 |

P4 doesnt support. So i get another box.. AMD x2 something buncha ram. slap in a HD and installed new video card. Nvidia 8300. So it installs and seems to run fine.

| royale1223 | sacarlson: nah. it works on my friends ubuntu | 06:29 |
| Tristantio | its probably a usb drive right? | 06:29 |

| Prinler | I can pull network cable and replug back in ... and it works | 06:29 |
| bazhang | Prinler,need the chipsets to troubleshoot | 06:29 |
| Prinler | ok | 06:29 |
| sacarlson | royale1223: I have two cd drives in a single pc one will sometimes read a cd that the other won't | 06:29 |
| poss_ | icedtea: it says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb3, missing codepage or helper program or other error" | 06:29 |
| costas | sacarlson, maby you have a faulty cable... | 06:30 |
| poss_ | I tried unplugging and replugging, but it doesn't show up anywhere but in fdisk | 06:30 |
| share | hello | 06:30 |
| * Senjai waves at share | 06:30 | |
| share | lol | 06:30 |
| royale1223 | sacarlson: if i create another account it works perfectly.. i mean user acc | 06:30 |
| costas | poss mount manually, do a "man mount" to ensure proper ext3 or ext4 attributes | 06:30 |
| sacarlson | costas: no both cd readers will read some disks just one disk reads more disks than the other, just better focus or stronger laser | 06:30 |
| icedtea | poss_: what type does: fdisk -l display | 06:31 |
| share | is it possible to create a shortcut for a word? | 06:31 |
| Tristantio | poss | 06:31 |
| costas | sacarlson, maby it's time you threw away the one that doesn't read well enough | 06:31 |
| sacarlson | royale1223: oh then your other user doesn't have mount privliges | 06:31 |
| Tristantio | do | 06:31 |
| Tristantio | sudo mount -t msdos /blabla /blabla | 06:31 |
| share | instead of launching a program write text | 06:31 |

| ryan__ | greetings ;] | 06:32 |
| sacarlson | costas: I don't use eather cd anymore I install direct from hard disk, it's faster and works every time | 06:32 |
| costas | managed to destroy a plextor with DVDs that needed backup myself | 06:32 |
| royale1223 | sacarlson: it do have mount privilages | 06:32 |
| Starminn | share: More details please? What exactly are you trying to do/how are you wanting to go about it? | 06:32 |
| poss_ | oh wait my bad | 06:32 |
| poss_ | I was reading fdisk all wrong | 06:32 |
| royale1223 | sacarlson: brb | 06:32 |
| poss_ | let me try that again | 06:32 |
| ryan__ | a most curious thing is happening.... my laptop keeps beeping at me and I cannot seem to figure out how to make it stop. I have been running ubuntu for several months now and have never seen this type of thing. Anyone have any kind of suggestion for troubleshooting? | 06:32 |
| sacarlson | royale1223: so what's different bettween the two users? what groups do each belong to that's different? | 06:33 |
| Tristantio | ryan__ is your laptop booting or beeping at boot | 06:33 |
| Tristantio | if it beeps every 5 to 10 sec and wont boot its ram | 06:33 |
| Prinler | http://paste.ubuntu.com/569044/ | 06:33 |
| poss_ | ok now its giving me the same error as when i tried to mount from gui | 06:33 |
| Tristantio | hey poss | 06:33 |
| Tristantio | can you hear me? | 06:33 |
| Tristantio | did you try the msdos type | 06:33 |
| share | Starminn: ie if I press ctrl+t Ubuntu types text... you know .. to bind a keyboard shortcut to write soemthing | 06:33 |
| ryan__ | no, the regular bios beep does still happen, this beep I am asking about is happening about every 4 seconds and is a single short beep, temps read fine and the battery is fully charged and running on AC | 06:34 |
| ryan__ | this is in the running OS | 06:34 |
| poss_ | Falied to mount, NTFS is either inconsistent or there is a hardware fault, or its a softRAID/FakeRAID hardware. | 06:34 |
| Starminn | share: Mess around with System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts | 06:34 |
| bazhang | Prinler,does ifconfig show only lo , or also eth0 | 06:34 |
| share | Starminn: I know that.. but how do I make type text.. | 06:34 |
| Prinler | Only eth0 | 06:35 |
| poss_ | but its a brand new drive, it has like 8gb of stuff on it and has been working flawlessly right up until i started messing with ubuntu today | 06:35 |
| ryan__ | i have reloaded the sound driver as a shot in the dark but no relief | 06:35 |
| Starminn | share: I've never done much with them myself. You could try inserting the desired text as the "command" or you could just write a script to write something and call it in the "command" box. Either way it's worth a shot, 'eh? | 06:35 |
| poss_ | it can't be stuffed, it is incocievable that I have had three seperate hard drives all magically independantly die on the same day during the same process | 06:35 |
| ryan__ | I wonder what it's trying to tell me | 06:36 |
| bazhang | Prinler,there does not appear to be a wireless nic there; sudo dhclient eth0 to get wired working | 06:36 |
| Tristantio | ryan__ is the beep from your hardware or from your sound? | 06:36 |
| poss_ | surely that is a stastical impossibility? | 06:36 |
| royale1223 | sacarlson: both are administrator acc | 06:36 |
| costas | poss sounds, like you did some damage during partitioning... | 06:36 |
| ryan__ | Tristantio, it's from the audio device | 06:36 |
| poss_ | the external drive was not being partitioned | 06:36 |
| ryan__ | not from a hardware speaker like the temperature warning | 06:37 |
| jamiewan | poss_, have you checked the drives on another machine | 06:37 |
| poss_ | it was just sitting there waiting to have stuff copied to it | 06:37 |
| sacarlson | royale1223: and when they attempt to mount are they using sudo? | 06:37 |
| ryan__ | I find it odd that I'm not getting a graphical alert | 06:37 |
| Prinler | its up... and i can browes the net | 06:38 |
| Arney | Ubuntu is failing to install... giving getpwuid_r() "failed due to unkwon user id" | 06:38 |
| Prinler | when i try to connect to the box it will attempt to authenticate... ask me for password... then quit... error out and say it cant connect.. Then i run over to box and its got no network abilities | 06:39 |
| icedtea | hey... in ubuntu... what happened to the ifup and ifdown commands? | 06:39 |
| poss | ok i just tried the external drive on my laptop, it is buggered | 06:39 |
| Arney | Ive tried reinstalling on my usb stick and another hard drive partition, aswell as redownloading the image. No change. | 06:39 |
| === q_a_z_steve is now known as zz_q_a_z_steve | ||
| jamiewan | poss, must of screwed up partitioning stuff, bugger | 06:39 |
| costas | Arney, that's a first for me, anyone? | 06:39 |
| poss | jamiewan: the external drive was not being partitioned, how could it be ruined, it was just plugged in | 06:40 |
| === Senjai is now known as Senjai[coding] | ||
| poss | oh great, now my uncle, my aunt and my gf are ALL going to kill me for destroying their hard drives | 06:40 |
| maco | icedtea: they're there. and they work. config goes in /etc/network/interfaces any interface configured there is not managed by Network Manager, iirc, and if NM thinks it owns that interface (because it did when it started) then you can't use ifup/ifdown on that command until NM is made aware that it does not | 06:40 |
| KXTwo | Arney, are you booting live cd from a usb car? | 06:40 |
| costas | poss, do try to mount and backup... take it slow | 06:40 |
| Senjai[coding] | poss, say your dog ate it? | 06:40 |
| maco | icedtea: (or until NM's service is stopped) | 06:40 |
| poss | at some point it has to be clear that this is not a hardware fault... | 06:40 |
| Arney | live usb and usb install | 06:40 |
| Arney | and live primary partition on my hd | 06:41 |
| Prinler | Example, Winscp... It says authenticating... Authenticated, starting the session... reading remote directory... Then it locks up and eventually say can not connect. | 06:41 |
| poss | lol senjai, they have been watching me trying to fix this problem for two days now, i don't think the dog ate it will really cut it | 06:41 |
| _NaN_ | how can I delete the content of a variable in bash? | 06:41 |
| Arney | none work | 06:41 |
| Prinler | bazhang, | 06:41 |
| costas | Arney, did you download the iso and try that? | 06:42 |
| KXTwo | will your ubuntu usb boot ? | 06:42 |
| Arney | yes it will | 06:42 |
| Arney | but after I click install | 06:42 |
| Arney | or live | 06:42 |
| sacarlson | royale1223: are both your users a member of the users group "fuse" ? | 06:42 |
| bazhang | Prinler,yes | 06:42 |
| Arney | it either hangs when I click live, or throws an unkown user id error | 06:42 |
| Arney | when I click install | 06:42 |
| tim__ | Hello my name is Fabian, I've seen your videos on youtube and I think maybe I can ayudar.Sabes if possible install or run on Ubuntu 10.10 Adobe Illustrator? | 06:43 |
| bazhang | Arney,keep it one line, its impossible to read otherwise | 06:43 |
| poss_ | damn connection keeps dropping | 06:43 |
| icedtea | maco: does ubuntu have a substitute command for ifup and ifdown that is automatically configured when ubuntu is installed? | 06:43 |
| bazhang | tim__,check the appdb | 06:43 |
| bazhang | !appdb > tim__ | 06:43 |
| ubottu | tim__, please see my private message | 06:43 |
| maco | icedtea: no, the command is exactly the same | 06:43 |
| poss_ | uh guys.. the live disc just crashed again, from alt ctrl f1.. i wasn't even doing anything | 06:43 |
| poss_ | it just crashed | 06:43 |
| KXTwo | Arney, boot into ubuntu from your usb, then use gpart to set up your partitions, then reboot and i nstead of booting into ubunto arrow to the install option | 06:43 |
| poss_ | that can't be graphics drivers | 06:43 |
| bazhang | poss_,then burn a new one | 06:44 |
| maco | poss_: bad burn? | 06:44 |
| silverlightning | is there any distro more easy going than Ubuntu? | 06:44 |
| poss_ | i checked the checksum | 06:44 |
| silverlightning | like lubuntu perhaps | 06:44 |
| bazhang | silverlightning,discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:44 |
| KXTwo | wait Arney, where did you download the iso for | 06:44 |
| poss_ | i checked the disc | 06:44 |
| icedtea | silverlightning: linux from scratch ;) | 06:44 |
| Arney | KXTwo: Ubuntu wont boot, it get stuck in "user id unknown" | 06:44 |
| Tristantio | poss make sure you burn at a low disk burn speed or you may have a bad burn and crash on an otherwise "good" disk | 06:44 |
| costas | silverlightning, try debian | 06:44 |
| researcher1 | is there a way to creat username and passwords in bulk? I want to allow access to Ubuntu for 300 students | 06:44 |
| silverlightning | bazhang, you really are strickt about this | 06:44 |
| Prinler | bazhang, Any ideas? SSH installed, xbmc installed, all updates installed, attempted x11vncserver, I cant get anything to connect. Connection drops dead in the middle of connecting | 06:44 |
| Arney | ubuntu.com but, I readownloaded and I still get the same problem | 06:44 |
| bazhang | silverlightning,indeed. what if every one here chimed in. | 06:45 |
| KXTwo | you didnt download the netbook version did you? | 06:45 |
| jrgill | where is xorg.conf on the live cd? theres nothing in /usr/share with modelines | 06:45 |
| poss_ | oh man, that shiny upgrade to next version button needs to be bright read and have a warning sign reading "WARNING: upgrading ubuntu may make everyone you love turn against you and destroy every hard drive in the house" | 06:45 |
| Arney | I tryed unetbootin and the default usb installer, both attempts fail. | 06:45 |
| maco | silverlightning: write a script and feed a file full of usernames to it? | 06:45 |
| sacarlson | poss_: maybe hardware? memory faults can cause random crashes like that | 06:45 |
| Tristantio | Hey jrgill type "locate xorg.conf", very useful command | 06:45 |
| maco | silverlightning: if you're intending to have 300 students and have them able to login on any system though....id say you need LDAP | 06:45 |
| Tristantio | will tell you where your file is | 06:45 |
| n2diy_ | my and back up box and printer are downstairs, the printer has an SD card in it that I want a file off of, can I ftp to it? | 06:45 |
| jrgill | ok | 06:45 |
| poss_ | i ran a memory check yesterday sacarison, it ran clean | 06:46 |
| KXTwo | did you download 32bit or 64bit? | 06:46 |
| silverlightning | maco, don't misunderstand me, I am keeping it to ubuntu related distros, like lubuntu, xubuntu... | 06:46 |
| jrgill | none of these have video lines | 06:46 |
| KXTwo | Arney, did you download 32 bit or 64 bit? | 06:46 |
| Arney | 32 | 06:46 |
| jrgill | edev, synaptics, vmmouse, wacom, synaptics-quirks, magictrackpad | 06:47 |
| KXTwo | Arney, from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download ? | 06:47 |
| maco | silverlightning: LDAP is a thing that makes it so that you have centralised authentication. can make it so every system in the school uses LDAP as a backend, even the Windows ones (Active Directory is based on LDAP) | 06:47 |
| bazhang | silverlightning,easygoing? as on the cpu/graphics/ram requirements? | 06:47 |
| maco | silverlightning: then instead of setting up user accounts for every student on every computer, you set it up once, and they login everywhere | 06:47 |
| Arney | KXTwo: Yes, both times from there, 10.10 non LTS | 06:47 |
| Prinler | ok, sudo dhclient eth0, shows NODHCPOFFERS recived | 06:48 |
| KXTwo | Arney, how did you install it to your usb? | 06:48 |
| poss_ | so uh... I guess im just completely screwed then guys? | 06:48 |
| costas | poss, you CAN use mount and save your data, don't be lazy | 06:48 |
| bazhang | Prinler,try bringing eth0 down and up again, be sure the cable is well attached then try again | 06:48 |
| Arney | KXTwo: on the third line of the error I get, xor: automatically using best checksuming function: PIII_SSE | 06:48 |
| poss_ | I've run out of hard drives to sacrifice to ubuntu, the live cd crashes, the new install crashes.. | 06:48 |
| bazhang | poss_,burn a new cd | 06:49 |
| Arney | KXTwo: once using unetbootin and another time with Quniversal usb installer" | 06:49 |
| poss_ | costas: No i cant, i just told you, the live cd crashed | 06:49 |
| poss_ | it crashes randomly | 06:49 |
| KXTwo | universal usb installer is the way to do it | 06:49 |
| poss_ | *sigh* ok guys thanks for your help, im going to go cry for a bit | 06:49 |
| bazhang | Arney,it may take more than a single attempt. took me twice with unetbootin | 06:49 |
| thune3 | poss_: i usually suspect wifi or video drivers from random crashes | 06:49 |
| sacarlson | poss_: you want to try a boot direct from hard disk, it's just a grub2 entry to point at a iso file you want to install | 06:49 |
| KXTwo | im not sure what the problem is, if you followed all of your instructions properly. | 06:49 |
| silverlightning | bazhang, yes like a weaker portable with 1GB RAM, 1,5GHz non dual processors | 06:50 |
| KXTwo | I used universal usb installer, and it worked perfectly no issues | 06:50 |
| bazhang | silverlightning,then lubuntu, or minimal iso and build up | 06:50 |
| Arney | bazhang: I have reinstalled the iso 5 different times with a combination of installers | 06:50 |
| Arney | bazhang: including formatting | 06:50 |
| bazhang | !minimal > silverlightning | 06:50 |
| ubottu | silverlightning, please see my private message | 06:50 |
| costas | poss_, in your shoes, I'd choose a new partition, and format it, then install from an ubuntu iso just to make sure, then save the data, then format all and do a clean install.- | 06:50 |
| bazhang | Arney,formatting how/with what to what | 06:51 |
| n2diy_ | my back up box and printer are downstairs, the printer has an SD card in it that I want a file off of, can I ftp to it? Using gftp I've looked for the printer under /mnt, /mount, and /dev, but I can't find it? | 06:51 |
| KXTwo | but you are saying it wont even boot into ubuntu from the usb, that makes no sense to me | 06:51 |
| bazhang | Arney,sounds like a corrupt iso or a bad 'burn' still. | 06:51 |
| Prinler | bazhang, Nope, down then back up.... no traffic... I HAVE to unplug cable and then back in. Only way it resets so it goes online again... | 06:51 |
| Arney | bazhang: I redownloaded the iso and reinstalled | 06:51 |
| Tristantio | if you can't boot into ubuntu from usb are you sure your motherboard supports usb boot? | 06:52 |
| KXTwo | what kind of system are you in stalling to? | 06:52 |
| bazhang | Arney,reinstalled ; did you extract from the iso? | 06:52 |
| costas | Arney, maby your router isn't configured to let the net install happen... | 06:52 |
| Arney | bazhang: I checked the formatting boxes on unet and universal usb installer | 06:52 |
| Arney | no | 06:52 |
| bazhang | Arney,no to whom | 06:52 |
| Arney | costas: I dont have the laptop connected to the internet | 06:52 |
| Arney | bazhang: I did not extract the files first | 06:53 |
| bazhang | Prinler,how did you bring the interface down and then back up, what command please | 06:53 |
| sacarlson | poss_: if you choose to try it heres the method for direct boot from iso but sounds like some kind of hardware problem, maybe disable everything you don't need in bios and try again. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 for direct iso boot | 06:53 |
| KXTwo | Arney, you dont need to change any options on universal usb installer unless you want persistence, delete both iso's youve downloaded, download a new one | 06:53 |
| serp_ | sometimes my ubuntu freezes and capslock + numlock start to blink. the only solution is to reboot. how do I troubleshoot this? | 06:53 |
| KXTwo | start usb installer tell it you want ubuntu 10.10 and it will automatically find the iso then just click next | 06:53 |
| KXTwo | and clear your memory card first just to be safe | 06:54 |
| Prinler | bazhang, sudo ifconfig eth0 down | 06:54 |
| ohsix | serp_: that's a kernel panic | 06:54 |
| Arney | KXTwo: It wont fit without me formatting the stick.. but ok | 06:54 |
| KXTwo | Arney, it wont fit without your formatting? | 06:54 |
| KXTwo | Arney, I said to clear it, if you are going to format do fat32 | 06:55 |
| Arney | KXTwo: I always formatted to fat32 | 06:56 |
| serp_ | ohsix: I was worryied that might be it. how do I get more information about what caused it? | 06:56 |
| Arney | KXTwo: its downloading, again. itll take 28 minutes | 06:56 |
| KXTwo | Arney the instructions are right here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download | 06:56 |
| ohsix | serp_: i had to use netconsole, theres probably a better way to do it though | 06:56 |
| KXTwo | step two click usb and windows | 06:56 |
| Prinler | bazhang, I just got into the box via ssh/putty... let me log in... then 15 seconds later poof.. connection dropped. | 06:57 |
| icedtea | Prinler: do you have two boxes with the same ip connected to a router? I've seen that same thing happen before | 06:58 |
| Prinler | hmmmm | 06:58 |
| icedtea | Prinler: are you using static ips? | 06:59 |
| Prinler | lemme change the ip | 06:59 |
| Prinler | I am | 06:59 |
| Prinler | 1.150 | 06:59 |
| Prinler | lemme 1.155 | 06:59 |
| durando | hey guys i have a image thats intended to be installed on a usb stick but i want to isntall it to a HDD i have done this in the past i just cant remeber the how | 06:59 |
| Arney | KXTwo: I am trying wubi on another computer from the same usb stick, while the other image downloads | 06:59 |
| jrgill | does the live cd use /etc/X11/xorg.conf? doesnt seem like it. i need to add some modelines. | 06:59 |
| jrgill | im using 10.10 | 06:59 |
| maco | jrgill: you can create an xorg.conf and restart X | 06:59 |
| maco | jrgill: oh, just modelines? | 06:59 |
| drlego | I am unable to connect to any webpages while my bittorrent client is running ( at 5k/s up 5k/s down) using Firefox or MSIE in VBOX. Other programs such as IRC, e-mail, etc. function properly. Has anybody else encountered this probem? | 06:59 |
| maco | !resolution | jrgill | 07:00 |
| ubottu | jrgill: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 07:00 |
| maco | jrgill: the reason there's no xorg.conf is that things can be configured on the fly now :) check out the wiki page | 07:00 |
| Arney | Wubi is trying to download the 64 bit version.... with torrents. That wont work on a university network. | 07:00 |
| serp_ | ohsix: netconsole? serial console? | 07:00 |
| jrgill | maco: so theres no more xorg.conf? | 07:00 |
| maco | jrgill: by default, no. it's been unnecessary for 3 years | 07:01 |
| mycosys | nvidia wouldnt happen to have introduced persistant overclocking in their linux drivers would they, or a method to overclock via cli? | 07:02 |
| icedtea | Prinler: are you using virtualization also? | 07:02 |
| Prinler | Ok all set at 1.155 | 07:02 |
| Prinler | whats that | 07:02 |
| jrgill | maco: oh wow. so much has changed since i used linux for home use i.e. a gui | 07:02 |
| jrgill | i generated a config and placed it in X11. i guess if it's not set to read the config, it wont. | 07:02 |
| jrgill | oh well. this is good news. should be easier to play w/ the resolution on my tv. :) | 07:02 |
| icedtea | Prinler: like VMWare or virtualbox | 07:03 |
| Prinler | Ok, i changed my ip to 1.155 and im still not able to hold a connection. | 07:03 |
| Prinler | No | 07:03 |
| Prinler | clean install | 07:03 |
| researcher1 | how can default boot order be changed on a dual boot (Ubuntu & XP) system | 07:03 |
| icedtea | Prinler: the netmask's are the same for both boxes? | 07:04 |
| Prinler | 255.255.255.0 | 07:04 |
| Prinler | yeah | 07:04 |
| sacarlson | Prinler: sounds alot like a network switch problem as I have had when I have setup the same mac on two machines, but what's the chance of that? | 07:04 |
| Prinler | no | 07:05 |
| jrgill | maco: what did they do to x to eliminate the need for xorg.conf? is it something fundamental you can describe in a sentence? | 07:05 |
| Prinler | I just did a clean install again to make sure it wasnt a flook. | 07:05 |
| icedtea | jrgill: better hardware probing | 07:05 |
| jrgill | oh | 07:05 |
| Prinler | perhaps the nic card has poor support? | 07:05 |
| icedtea | Prinler: both boxes can ping each other? | 07:06 |
| maco | jrgill: it gained the ability to ask the monitor "so, what resolutions & refresh rates do you support?" and just automatically try the highest. granted, some monitors *lie* about what they support...and that's when you do what the wiki page says and add modes | 07:06 |
| sacarlson | Prinler: another small posibility is try set mtu to a smaller number like 512 instead of 1500 on the system that has the problem | 07:06 |
| costas | in debian and Ubuntu I suggest expert installs just in case to prevent mishaps... | 07:06 |
| Prinler | Ice, no not when it drops | 07:06 |
| poss_ | ok, so I just reformatted the external drive on a windows box, its working on the windows box and on my ubuntu 10.10 laptop now im going to try partitioning the 250gb to do an alongside install of 10.04 allongside 9.10 and see if that works | 07:06 |
| Arney | bazhang: I disabled the splash screen command on the installer, It seems to be throwing loads of squashFS read errors | 07:07 |
| Prinler | I cant ping the box | 07:07 |
| jrgill | maco: are we talking support for edid? | 07:07 |
| maco | jrgill: yep | 07:07 |
| jrgill | is there a command to easily pull edid? id like to see what this tv says. | 07:07 |
| sacarlson | Prinler: as seen here try change the mtu to 512 or maybe 1492 http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/mtu.htm | 07:07 |
| maco | jrgill: umm... if you type `xrandr` all by itself it'll tell you what X has available to it | 07:08 |
| poss_ | the partition worked, the install is now working as normal | 07:08 |
| costas | Arney, usb stick installs are fine by me but I prefer a DVD with a stable version... | 07:08 |
| Prinler | ok I can ping them now... had to redo cable again.!!! | 07:08 |
| maco | jrgill: ive never looked for a more "raw" way though | 07:08 |
| Arney | costas: my laptop doesnt have a cd rom drive | 07:08 |
| jrgill | ya thats what i was hoping for | 07:08 |
| sacarlson | Prinler: I've had this problem with zyxel routers that my isp didn't like for reasons unknown to me setting a smaller mtu fixed it | 07:08 |
| costas | Arney, you could buy an external DVD-R | 07:09 |
| costas | cheap... | 07:09 |
| Arney | I have never had the need | 07:09 |
| jrgill | i have a very stubborn philips hdtv crt and it says it does 720p and 1080i but ive had no luck in windows w/ powerstrip. | 07:09 |

| jrgill | also, all these things HDMI1 DP1 HDMI2 DP2 DP3 TV1 all disconnected, do they actually exist and just dont have ports on my laptop? | 07:09 |
| sacarlson | Prinler: can you try run wireshark to see trafic on the system? or tcpdump? | 07:09 |
| Prinler | Everything was working fine on my P4 an hour ago.. I just installed 10.10 on this box and a few VNC tries later... network is crapping out | 07:10 |

| poss_ | despite the checksum passes I am now convinced it must be an error with the live CD, I am torrenting a new one | 07:11 |
| n2diy_ | my back up box and printer are downstairs, the printer has an SD card in it that I want a file off of, can I ftp to it? Using gftp I've looked for the printer under /mnt, /mount, and /dev, but I can't find it? | 07:11 |
| Prinler | its letting me in via ssh ... how weird.. longer then last time | 07:11 |
| Prinler | installing wireshark | 07:11 |
| ActionParsnip | n2diy_: does the SD share via ftp? | 07:11 |
| Prinler | I also have an infinite ping going to the router to! | 07:11 |

| mycosys | lol icedtea - would have thought more would know here | 07:12 |
| _jesse_ | n2diy_: I don't know if the system would have that mounted | 07:12 |
| n2diy_ | ActionParsnip, I don't understand your question? | 07:12 |
| Prinler | icetea, doubtfull, worked 100% on other machines only hours ago | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | n2diy_: is the way to access the SD card on the printer via FTP? | 07:12 |
| _jesse_ | n2diy_: might be something the printer deals with interanlly | 07:12 |
| _jesse_ | *internally | 07:12 |
| n2diy_ | ActionParsnip, I don't know, the printer is shared on the network. | 07:13 |
| costas | Arney, the installation errors exactly? | 07:13 |
| sacarlson | Prinler: if ping keeps it up that points more to the switch problem if it see's the mac from a different port it would redirect trafic to that port. but if you keep ping going each time it sees output with that mac it will fix it | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | n2diy_: fine, thats the printer. I suggest you SSH to the server and run: mount it may show | 07:13 |
| Arney | costas: through the shell they are mostly "SQASHFS error: unable to read data/page | 07:14 |
| n2diy_ | ActionParsnip, I'm using ssh2 with grsync | 07:14 |
| Prinler | soon as i tried VNC, it stopped working | 07:14 |

| andycc | alienbox, I believe you get a separate tab for v6 settings, and by default they're disabled. | 08:05 |
| Abinadi | !details | nagel182 | 08:05 |
| ubottu | nagel182: 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 ..." | 08:05 |

| ugmg | any one know how to do it | 08:10 |
| icedtea | rand_u: from the site: Note: Ubuntu/Debian users might want to install the dkms package to ensure that the VirtualBox host kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp) are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next apt-get upgrade. For Debian it is available in Lenny backports and in the normal repository for Squeeze and later. The dkms package can be installed through the Synaptic Package manage | 08:11 |
| icedtea | r or through the following command: sudo apt-get install dkms | 08:11 |
| Abinadi | alienbox: there is a website that has about 20 tweaks for firefox, but Im in windows right now. give me a few minutes and I'll tell you what it is. | 08:11 |

| nagel182 | Okay. I have ubuntu 10.10. I installed apache2 Php mysql and phpmyadmin through the package handler. it worked after that I instaled Imagemagick , and imagick for PHP. than I installed mod_rewrite for appache2. I created a folder in /var/www/ called shimmie. I copied there my codes and after setting up htaccess it worked fine. url rewrite worked. thumbnails with imagick appeared along with normal images. Yesterday I got another webpage | 08:13 |
| nagel182 | project. but it required apache mod_ expires and mod_headers and installed it. And installed Xdebug for PHP. after this I put the webpage to another /var/www/ folder called fashion. Now in fashion everything works as its needs to: url rewrite , expires.. everything. But now my original folder shimmi, doesnt works: no url rewrite, no imagick thumbnails nor the original image shows up. | 08:13 |
| andycc | mylisto, you're probably using ALSA, except if you manually configured OSS. | 08:13 |

| rand_u | icedtea: i just noticed i don't have the headers installed for the running kernel | 08:14 |
| rand_u | icedtea: maybe that will solve the issue if i install them and purge and then reinstall | 08:14 |
| andycc | mylisto, reading that is way better than reading manpages. At least you get documentation! | 08:15 |
| nagel182 | now someone can help me? | 08:15 |
| rand_u | icedtea: i think it has to compile it for the kernel. i don't think it just has them when you install the dkms package. | 08:15 |
| rand_u | icedtea: i have build-essential installed too | 08:16 |

| Jordan_U | Arney: What do you mean by "handling"? What type of problems? | 08:34 |
| rand_u | icedtea: i'm trying virtualbox-4 from oracle's virtualbox.org site. they divided the free and non-free parts now so that the non-free is an extension. that's awesome cause now hopefully it'll get upgraded as updates become available. although i don't know if that will happen for sure. it would probably depend on how they have it in the repository. | 08:35 |
| Arney | you could say that all 3 i386 iso's were bad, that 7-zip and winrar are both wrong about the error on the file. But is that reasonable | 08:35 |

| jayvan | Tuttincoro, wubi is not as good as the real thing. If you want to dual boot install window first then Ubuntu. best option for me. | 08:45 |
| ljsoftnet | insmod: im looling for a gnome applet | 08:45 |
| tuttincoro | Jordan_U: I've had the same problem when attempting to mix ntfs and ext partitions on the same drive | 08:45 |
| Jordan_U | tuttincoro: That problem being? | 08:45 |
| tuttincoro | Jordan_U: the nfts is unbootable | 08:45 |
| insmod | <ljsoftnet>why just gnome? | 08:46 |
| Jordan_U | tuttincoro: That is not what tuttincoro is describing. At least it does not appear to be. | 08:47 |
| Abinadi | I'm using | 08:47 |
| ljsoftnet | insmod it takes too much space, i just wanted to have a simple battery applet | 08:47 |
| Sam_Fisher | I need to make a file named PMS.sh into a nice desktop launcher. how can i keep it working after reboot? seems it requires password to use again | 08:47 |
| Jordan_U | tuttincoro: What *kutchbhi1 was describing. | 08:47 |
| insmod | <tuttincoro>only if after the fact or depending on drive lettering | 08:48 |
| tuttincoro | Jordan_U: hmmm, okay, he needs to clarify then | 08:48 |
| Arney | nvm, i found one by url hacking ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/maverick/ | 08:48 |
| tuttincoro | insmod: after the fact. Ran the ubuntu install, resized the partitions there, tried to boot into windows later and couldn't | 08:48 |
| Arney | google is absolutely terrible at finding ftp sites | 08:49 |
| Abinadi | I'm using windows vista 64 ultimate in a virtualbox. I currently have no sound, even though I installed the right codec (it tells me that I have no device installed) I have sound in maverick. any ideas on how to get windows to use my sound card in while I have the virtualbox running? | 08:49 |
| tuttincoro | Arney: try duckduckgo | 08:49 |
| tuttincoro | Arney: far better than google imho | 08:49 |
| insmod | <tuttincoro>you both have a drive lettering prob | 08:49 |
| tuttincoro | insmod: no; I later put the drive in two other PCs, one running windows and the other running ubuntu, and neither could see the ntfs partition | 08:50 |
| przemasu | witam/hi | 08:50 |
| tuttincoro | insmod: it was "active" | 08:50 |
| Sam_Fisher | How do I make a desktop launcher out of a file named PMS.sh? | 08:51 |
| insmod | <tuttincoro> then the partition was damaged because you did not defrag | 08:51 |
| Senjai | How come when I save something to my mounted Windows Partition, it doesn't show up when I load Windows :( | 08:52 |
| Senjai | Save from ubuntu.. | 08:52 |
| tuttincoro | insmod: nope, I defragged right before I did the install, even used jk | 08:52 |
| Abinadi | tuttincoro, I have two NTFS partitions on two different HDD and I can see one but not the other. go figure | 08:52 |
| insmod | <tuttincoro> all i can think is the partition name changed | 08:52 |
| tuttincoro | insmod: the Linux formating and disk reading gets wonky sometimes | 08:53 |
| tuttincoro | It's not hard to accept | 08:53 |
| insmod | <tuttincoro> never | 08:53 |
| tuttincoro | haha, yeah right | 08:53 |
| insmod | <tuttincoro>you just don't know what you are doing | 08:53 |
| tuttincoro | uh huh | 08:54 |
| tuttincoro | but if it was windows that busted the partition, you'd totally blame microsoft, amirite? | 08:54 |
| insmod | <tuttincoro>no - i have never used it .. so i can not comment on it -- however my brother tells me he likes 7 | 08:55 |
| tuttincoro | I bet | 08:55 |

| insmod | <ikonia>you are the devel | 09:19 |
| soreau | test: gtk or qt | 09:19 |
| ikonia | insmod: really, so you know for a fact that the repos he has enable cause no conflict with the core ubuntu packages | 09:19 |
| abhinav_singh | Can you please tell me where and how to remove them ikonia | 09:19 |
| test | qt isn't a programming language? | 09:19 |

| ubottu | SmellySock: #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! | 09:19 |
| Abinadi | insmod, should I tell it to use the Intel HD Audio, ACH AC97, or the soundblaster 16? | 09:19 |
| SmellySock | ok | 09:19 |
| SmellySock | sorry | 09:20 |
| ikonia | abhinav_singh: I would remove all the 3rd party repos, google/getdeb/PPA's etc, then re-run apt-update and make sure they are gone | 09:20 |
| test | should i use python with gtk or C++ or something else? | 09:20 |
| insmod | <ikonia>yes if he updates they pose no probs -- the 3rd party may have to be reinstalled -- but the ubuntu upgrade will work | 09:20 |
| maco | test: python with c++ wouldnt make whole lot of sense... | 09:20 |
| ikonia | insmod: so you know for a fact those repos cause no conflict with ubuntu's core packages ? | 09:20 |
| insmod | <Abinadi> depends if you use alsa or oss | 09:21 |
| soreau | test: There is py-gtk and you can use C or C++ | 09:21 |
| Jordan_U | abhinav_singh: More to the point you probably want to remove any packages that you have installed from those 3rd party repositories. ppa-purge is a nice script that can do this, I believe you can also find such packages with Ubuntu Software Center. | 09:21 |
| maco | soreau: if it's pygtk you're by definition using python | 09:21 |
| abhinav_singh | yup ikonia..thats what I am asking..where to find 3rd party repos? | 09:21 |
| Abinadi | insmod, I don't think I'm using anything now that I've killed pulseaudio, am I? | 09:21 |
| maco | test: for gtk you can use pygtk (python), normal gtk (c), or gtkmm (c++) | 09:21 |
| insmod | <ikonia>it can not because it over writes the files -- so if there is an error he just reinstalls 3rd party | 09:21 |
| soreau | maco: Sure but you can still do gtk gui programming with it, yes? | 09:21 |
| thedood_ | hey | 09:21 |
| ikonia | abhinav_singh: ahh, I see, well Jordan_U's just offered a good option | 09:21 |

| maco | test: for qt you can use pyqt (python) or normal qt (c++) | 09:22 |
| thedood_ | why was i banned? | 09:22 |
| insmod | <ikonia>not ubuntu | 09:22 |
| ikonia | insmod: no, it won't run the upgrade because the files are conflicting | 09:22 |
| maco | test: gtkmm is pretty rarely used | 09:22 |
| thedood_ | HEY | 09:22 |
| abhinav_singh | okay ikonia Jordan_U | 09:22 |

| thedood_ | HEY | 09:22 |
| Jordan_U | thedood_: Please join #ubuntu-ops to discuss bans. | 09:22 |
| ikonia | insmod: it won't overwrite if it can't start the upgrade because it can't match the deps | 09:22 |
| thedood_ | im kenapa | 09:22 |
| test | what should i do? | 09:22 |
| thedood_ | okay | 09:22 |

| insmod | <soreau>thanks | 09:25 |

| maco | insmod: pidgin or empathy? they're the worst, so the most likely to fail at tab completion... | 09:33 |

| xukun | I have two disk made it a raid1 but they are not mounted. how do I find the right device to mount? | 09:38 |
| Abinadi | insmod, it looks stopped to me too, but when I open the vm it gives me a warning that the audio device is not working and it grabs the NULL device | 09:38 |
| ikonia | xukun: sudo fdisk -l will show your disks and partitions | 09:38 |
| insmod | <Abinadi>then it is not pulse it is alsa or oss | 09:39 |
| xukun | ikonia, that gives me a lot of info, it's very confusing and still don't sure which one is the one to mount | 09:39 |
| ikonia | xukun: how many disks do you have in your system ? | 09:40 |
| xukun | one ssd of 60gb and 2x2tb which is raid1 disks | 09:40 |
| Sirion | is the blksize option important for gnome-mount ? | 09:40 |
| xukun | ikonia, one ssd of 60gb and 2x2tb which is raid1 disks | 09:40 |
| ikonia | xukun: how are they raided ? | 09:40 |
| abhinav_singh | ikonia brother any help..i ahve download the script..but that argument should I pass to it | 09:41 |
| ikonia | abhinav_singh: do what I told you to do, removing the 3rd party info from /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.d | 09:41 |
| xukun | ikonia, I don't understand that. what do u mean? | 09:41 |
| ikonia | xukun: where did you configure the raid on the disks, within ubuntu, or in the motherboard bios ? | 09:42 |
| Abinadi | insmod, how do I find OSS, I've looked in the package manager? | 09:42 |
| xukun | ikonia, ah it's software raid | 09:42 |
| insmod | <Abinadi>it would be alsa oss the combatibility package | 09:42 |
| abhinav_singh | ikonia i have moved all the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to some different directory ...i think it should work now ? | 09:43 |

| Jordan_U | abhinav_singh: What ppas have you used? I don't think ppa-purge currently works with 3rd party repositories that aren't ppas. | 09:44 |
| nagel182 | Okay. I have ubuntu 10.10. I installed apache2 Php mysql and phpmyadmin through the package handler. it worked after that I instaled Imagemagick , and imagick for PHP. than I installed mod_rewrite for appache2. I created a folder in /var/www/ called shimmie. I copied there my codes and after setting up htaccess it worked fine. url rewrite worked. thumbnails with imagick appeared along with normal images. Yesterday I got another webpage | 09:46 |
| nagel182 | project. but it required apache mod_ expires and mod_headers and installed it. And installed Xdebug for PHP. after this I put the webpage to another /var/www/ folder called fashion. Now in fashion everything works as its needs to: url rewrite , expires.. everything. But now my original folder shimmi, doesnt works: no url rewrite, no imagick thumbnails nor the original image shows up. | 09:46 |
| ikonia | xukun: is it ubuntu software raid, or software raid from the motherboard | 09:47 |
| ikonia | abhinav_singh: re-run sudo apt-get update and make sure it doesn't show any 3rd party repos | 09:47 |

| abhinav_singh | so well i have moved them to different directory...will not it help ikonia? | 09:50 |
| nagel182 | and my problem is that in one folder both of them works, but in another it doesnt | 09:50 |

| ikonia | abhinav_singh: they still show in that directory | 09:50 |
| Jordan_U | abhinav_singh: I'm not sure when this feature was added, but in Ubuntu 10.10 Software Sources lists all repositories, and what packages were installed from each. Can you check if Applications > Ubuntu Software Center shows such a list at the top left? | 09:50 |
| ikonia | nagel182: I suspect you have conflicting re-write rules | 09:50 |
| abhinav_singh | no i again moved them to source.d to show you the directory content but now they are in different directory ikonia | 09:51 |
| Jordan_U | ikonia: I asked what repositories abhinav_singh had. | 09:51 |
| nagel182 | and how can I configure that? and can we talk in PM ikonia? | 09:51 |
| ikonia | ah, I thought they where still there | 09:51 |
| abhinav_singh | no ikonia i have moved them to different directory | 09:51 |

| ikonia | jrgill: it's a man page, and if you read the info, you'd know it was a man page | 10:08 |
| ikonia | jrgill: the fact that I told you how to find out what it was and you wouldn't do it, so I had to download it for you and see what it was suggests to the contrary | 10:08 |
| jrgill | ikonia: if you had to download it, it suggests the contrary to you as well... | 10:09 |

| RuslanPopov | ikonia, I am not sysadmin, I just setup raid in bios and then join disk in raid bios util | 10:11 |
| ikonia | abhinav_singh: hard without more info, I suspect one of the many PPA's you where using has created a conflict that the upgrade manager can't resolve | 10:11 |
| RuslanPopov | may be it was fakeraid | 10:11 |
| ikonia | RuslanPopov: that is fakeraid | 10:11 |
| RuslanPopov | so, I need to format them separately and then? | 10:12 |
| ikonia | RuslanPopov: no, fakeraid is not a good technology to use with Linux as it's a Windows technology | 10:12 |

| abhinav_singh | so what to do now bro ikonia :) | 10:13 |
| ikonia | abhinav_singh: without more info it's hard, I'd suggest (unless you really want to work hard to debug it) a clean install, but in future limiting your use of 3rd party repos and PPA's | 10:14 |
| brontoeee | how is fakeraid done on mac? | 10:14 |
| ikonia | brontoeee: it's not | 10:14 |

| jrgill | ikonia: how does someone download that file incorrectly? | 10:15 |

| RuslanPopov | if I understand right, I have to shut off raid support in bios, and work with them in ubuntu as separate devices with software raid? | 10:15 |
| ikonia | jrgill: fail to unzip it properly | 10:15 |
| ikonia | RuslanPopov: that is a good option | 10:15 |

| jo-erlend | I need to manually partition my disk with three partitions for use as space for raid and they need to start and end with sectors that are divisible by 4. How do I do that? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: why do they need to start / end with sectors divisible by 4 ? | 10:18 |
| RuslanPopov | fakeraid | 10:18 |

| Kranix | I think I hit some keyboard shortcut accidentally, everything on my screen darkened a lot... | 10:19 |
| jrgill | is there a package manager somewhere in gnome? im on the live cd. | 10:19 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: because my disk uses 4KB sectors, but doesn't report it, so Linux assumes it uses 512B sectors. This has a tremendous impact on performance. It's upto ten times slower than it would be if it were partitioned properly, which Ubuntus installers are unable to do. | 10:19 |
| brontoeee | Kranix, laptop? | 10:19 |
| Kranix | Yes. | 10:19 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: you can change the block size on the file system | 10:20 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: that's not the same. That's only software. I'm talking about hardware. | 10:20 |
| brontoeee | Kranix, mine has a blue function key names 'Fn', and if i press that + say f5 it gets darker, see if there is something like | 10:20 |
| martijn_pc | hello | 10:20 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: use an advanced partition tool, such as fdisk which allows you to set start/end sectors | 10:21 |
| brontoeee | that | 10:21 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: or parted | 10:21 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: yes, that much is clear to me. How, though, is another question. | 10:21 |

| ikonia | jo-erlend: when you partition the disk you can set start/end sectors, use that option | 10:21 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: read the man page and documents also for more information | 10:22 |

| === Zuzak is now known as MC8|away | ||
| [thor] | netbook edition uses "Unity" instead of "gnome-panel" | 10:31 |
| Euthanasia | hello people | 10:31 |
| brontoeee | netbook comes with classic desktop as well i think | 10:31 |
| amit | channel for fedora? | 10:32 |
| eubey | ikonia, netfilter is dead | 10:32 |
| ray_ | Can you find out if Ray is register?, I have been coming here unregistered. | 10:32 |
| ikonia | eubey: it's not | 10:32 |
| ikonia | ray_: ask in #freenode | 10:32 |
| amit | some one tell me channel for fedora | 10:32 |
| Euthanasia | i have a question. i have a local disk NTFS format. how do i call that disk when i am trying to specify a path in the terminal ? | 10:32 |
| ikonia | amit: #fedora | 10:32 |
| greenmang0 | amit: \#fedora | 10:32 |
| amit | thanx | 10:32 |
| [thor] | Euthanasia: can you access the disk through the gui? i mean to say is it mounted? | 10:33 |
| gaurav_help | i am using desktop nut i have laptop | 10:33 |
| ikonia | gaurav_help: that's fine | 10:33 |
| gaurav_help | which is best for me | 10:33 |
| Euthanasia | yes | 10:33 |
| Euthanasia | it is mounted | 10:33 |
| ikonia | gaurav_help: use what you like, the desktop is fine | 10:33 |
| [thor] | Euthanasia: try " ls /media | 10:33 |
| gaurav_help | ya i am quite fine with my desktop | 10:33 |
| irong33k | linux mint keeps on hanging after every minute | 10:34 |
| Euthanasia | k | 10:34 |
| irong33k | is there a flaw ? | 10:34 |
| ikonia | irong33k: we don't support mint here | 10:34 |
| [thor] | Euthanasia: without " obviously | 10:34 |
| gaurav_help | but there is diffrence in gnome they have any other desktop enviroment | 10:34 |
| ikonia | !mint | irong33k | 10:34 |
| ubottu | irong33k: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 10:34 |
| gaurav_help | what is gnome shell | 10:35 |
| Euthanasia | nope | 10:35 |
| ikonia | gaurav_help: it's unavailable at this time, look on gnome.org for gnome info | 10:35 |
| Euthanasia | its not workin | 10:36 |
| jo-erlend | I am about to partition my disk manually for raid. What do I need to do? Is there any special kinds of filesystems I need, or will the installer be able to use just normal partitions without me doing anything special in advance_ | 10:36 |
| dcamps | hi, I have ubuntu 10.04 with a luks encrypted partition. I would like grub to show me a screen at boot time to select between different kernels installed, however such screen does not appear. I have grub-2 and have run sudo grub-update. Any idea of what could be wrong? | 10:36 |
| Euthanasia | i`m trying to run a game with wine... and i cant get the command right.. | 10:36 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: are youusing software or hardware raid ? | 10:36 |
| Euthanasia | like the file path | 10:36 |
| ikonia | Euthanasia: try #winehq | 10:36 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: mdadm. | 10:36 |
| greenmang0 | dcamps: press Shift when system boots | 10:36 |
| redGoat | dcamps: Hold SHIFT to get grub2 option. | 10:36 |
| Euthanasia | nothing happened | 10:36 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: then you'll need to use the alternative installer disk, and you don't need anything special in terms of file system | 10:37 |
| === michael is now known as Guest74900 | ||
| dcamps | thanks i'll try now | 10:37 |
| ikonia | Euthanasia: try the channel #winehq | 10:37 |
| gaurav_help | which version i am using of gnome in ubuntu 10.10 | 10:37 |
| Euthanasia | kay | 10:37 |
| ikonia | gaurav_help: 2.X | 10:37 |
| brontoeee | Euthanasia, df -h should return some paths as well for example | 10:37 |
| greenmang0 | Euthanasia: are you sure your NTFS partition is mounted ? try mount command | 10:37 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: I can set the start and end sectors for partitions in the installer? I havent seen that, I think. | 10:37 |
| === ray_ is now known as r4y | ||
| ikonia | jo-erlend: , as I said you need to use an advanced partition tool for that, such as fdisk or parted | 10:37 |
| gaurav_help | it this is latest version | 10:38 |
| ikonia | gaurav_help: no | 10:38 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: yes, but once Ive partitioned it, I can just start the installer and select those partitions for use as space for raid? | 10:38 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: correct | 10:38 |
| gaurav_help | which is the latest can i install tat | 10:38 |
| ikonia | gaurav_help: you are using the latest you can install | 10:39 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: great. Now. How do I select start and end sectors? They just must not overlap, is that it? I can have gaps? | 10:39 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: I've told you if you are going to this level of detail you need to read up on how to use the advanced partitioning tools | 10:39 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: use eithe fdisk or parted, both are capable | 10:39 |
| gaurav_help | as u told me tat gnome shell is not available in ubuntu10.10 | 10:40 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: I know what to use. I dont know which sectors to use and how to find the total number of sectors. | 10:40 |
| brontoeee | Euthanasia, df -h should return some paths as well for example | 10:40 |
| pwillman | I need some hand on installing 10.10 via Wubi, it installs the first part at windows but then, after reboot, it says part of install can't be found... | 10:40 |
| ikonia | gaurav_help: correct | 10:40 |
| brontoeee | ups | 10:40 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: that is avaialble within the partition tool, if you learn how to use it you can query the disk | 10:41 |
| silverlightning | partisjonsprogrammet er ganske enkelt å bruke | 10:41 |

| ikonia | silverlightning: this channel is for English language only please. | 10:41 |
| ikonia | gaurav_help: gnome desktop is fine | 10:41 |
| gaurav_help | thanks | 10:42 |
| jo-erlend | silverlightning: I can figure that part out. Can I just choose sectors randomly? Ive never partitioned a disk for use with 4KB sectors. | 10:42 |
| gaurav_help | is there any great themes expect bisigi themes | 10:42 |
| gaurav_help | which i install | 10:42 |
| ikonia | gaurav_help: look on gnome-look.org | 10:42 |
| brontoeee | gaurav_help, better find that video, installing stuff like multiple dekstops is not what you want | 10:42 |
| gaurav_help | thanks | 10:43 |
| yarekt | Hi everyone. I wonder if you could help me. I need to put a hostname as an environment variable, which has to go to /etc/environment but from what i read that file does not execute any script stuff, is that true? | 10:43 |
| ikonia | yarekt: just do HOSTNAME=`hostname` in your .bash_profile | 10:44 |
| gaurav_help | how can i change my defualt directory of terminal which open /home/gaurav but i want to change it over /home/gaurav/desktop/java | 10:44 |
| silverlightning | jo-erlend½ | 10:44 |
| yarekt | ikonia, it has to go into /etc/environment because its needed by apache, not only by shell scripts | 10:44 |
| jo-erlend | silverlightning? | 10:44 |
| silverlightning | jo-erlend could just be repalced with only? | 10:45 |
| silverlightning | sorry | 10:45 |
| gaurav_help | abhi kuch zayda hi bzy hu | 10:45 |
| gaurav_help | baugi | 10:45 |
| ikonia | yarekt: sorry, why does it need to go into /etc/environment | 10:45 |
| gaurav_help | soory | 10:45 |
| silverlightning | maybe there is a better paritioning software | 10:45 |
| gaurav_help | how can i change my defualt directory of terminal which open /home/gaurav but i want to change it over /home/gaurav/desktop/java | 10:46 |
| yarekt | ikonia, because apache, on startup, reads that file. I'm not comfortable with having it source any other files | 10:46 |
| jo-erlend | silverlightning: I dont think the tool is the problem. I just dont know how to choose the correct sectors in order to get a correctly aligned partition table. | 10:46 |
| ikonia | yarekt: apache won't read that file, why does apache need a hostname variable ? | 10:46 |
| greenmang0 | hello friends, i am using latest ubuntu on my old macbook ... the sound is working fine but when i plugin the headphone in the audio jack.. i don't hear any sound what can be the problem? | 10:46 |

| gaurav_help | how can i change my defualt directory of terminal which open /home/gaurav but i want to change it over /home/gaurav/desktop/java | 10:48 |
| ikonia | gaurav_help: changing the default is tricky as it opens your home directory by default | 10:48 |
| jubei | I'm trying to compile a library (GLFW) and I get GL/glx.h: No such file or directory | 10:48 |

| ikonia | jubei: install the correct header packages | 10:48 |
| ikonia | yarekt: php won't read enviornment variables | 10:49 |

| mwaijandeg | how can i change the the login screen appearence in ubuntu? | 10:52 |
| jrgill | how does kde compare to gnome nowadays? i havent used windows managers in a few years. | 10:52 |
| mwaijandeg | ny1 can help me | 10:52 |
| ikonia | jrgill: try them out, it's personal taste | 10:52 |
| yarekt | ikonia, the PHP is executed by apache | 10:52 |
| ikonia | yarekt: setup the apache users env if possible then | 10:53 |
| yarekt | ikonia, and we also have some PHP cli scripts which are executed by multiple shell users | 10:53 |
| ikonia | yarekt: then get those users to source the environment file | 10:53 |

| yarekt | ikonia, the environment file? | 10:53 |
| ikonia | yarekt: /etc/enviornment | 10:53 |
| mwaijandeg | if any1 knows let me know plz | 10:54 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: can you recommend a channel that can help me partition my disks so I can install Ubuntu? | 10:54 |
| mwaijandeg | i want to i wanna customize appearance | 10:54 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: no sorry, although I don't know why you won't accept the default | 10:54 |
| mwaijandeg | the default? | 10:54 |
| mwaijandeg | just curious1 | 10:55 |
| yarekt | ikonia, thats what we have right now. but I have to hardcode the variables for each server, id like them to be picked up from hostname and IP address right in /etc/environment, so that when anything sources it they will be automatically available for all | 10:55 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: because that gives my sata drives a maximum speed of 30MB/s. And theyre really fast disks. | 10:55 |
| mwaijandeg | i wanna c new look | 10:55 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: I doubt it will affect it that much, | 10:55 |
| jrgill | so this is what get-edid says. idk how xrandr is getting its initial modes. http://pastebin.com/MWi1vHnq | 10:55 |
| mwaijandeg | .......... | 10:56 |
| ikonia | yarekt: you should be able to do HOSTNAME=`hostname` as when the shell sources it it should work | 10:56 |
| yarekt | ikonia, in /etc/environment ? | 10:56 |
| karlo94 | how I can grep or cut or else all after some word? | 10:56 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: really? Reports say it will, for some operations, slow the disk access down by up to 25x. | 10:56 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: I doubt that very much | 10:56 |
| sier | viva la Linux Unix Solaris ! | 10:57 |

| kneko | hi all | 10:57 |
| sier | hello | 10:57 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: why do you doubt that? Linux has to manually recalculate every single write operation. Its true. I just need to find out how to find the correct sectors to start with. And seing as fdisk uses cylinders, I need to find out how to convert that. | 10:57 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: another problem with Ubuntus default installer, is that it creates overlapping filesystems, which is a seriously bad thing. | 10:58 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: do what you wish, I just know from experience on home user situations it won't be the issue | 10:58 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: it shouldn't create overlaps, if it does that is a bug and report it | 10:58 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: its well known. | 10:58 |
| mwaijandeg | somebody in certain forum told me to use tweak | 10:58 |
| mwaijandeg | let me see | 10:58 |

| sier | in linux | 10:59 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: can you show me the bug report for it please ? | 10:59 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: I dont have a link to it here, because I just deleted my partitions. | 10:59 |

| jo-erlend | ikonia: if you look at the log for #Ubuntu-bugs a few hours ago, youll find a link to it there. | 10:59 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: ok, well manually partition | 10:59 |
| kneko | just loaded Ubuntu on my dying ms dos laptop and it has given it new life. | 11:00 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: but don't worry about sector sizes | 11:00 |
| yarekt | ikonia, it doesnt execute the $() or ``, it just sets it to `hostname` | 11:00 |
| yarekt | ikonia, literal | 11:00 |
| ikonia | yarekt: how dissapointing | 11:00 |
| sier | but configuration | 11:00 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: how can I not worry about that? If I dont know where to end the first partition, then I wont know where its safe to start the other. | 11:00 |
| halvor | hello | 11:00 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: use gparted in the installer in manual mode, it will not let you overlap | 11:01 |
| tr3nton | hi all.. | 11:01 |
| halvor | does anyone know what to do with the bluetooth settings if it seems to be okay, but the computer is not visible for other gadgets and can't see other gadgets | 11:02 |
| halvor | ? | 11:02 |
| tr3nton | can someone recommend a screen shoot tool that will work when in a context menu? | 11:02 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: gparted doesnt allow me to specify start and end sectors though, does it? | 11:02 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: no, but as I said don't worry about it, just worry about sizing | 11:02 |

| yarekt | ikonia, thanks for your help | 11:03 |
| tr3nton | normally when you press print screen. the dialog appear asking to save or copy to clip board | 11:03 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: if the partitions start with the usual 63, then write performance gets reduced by 60-90%. I _need_ to start with sectors that are divisible by four. | 11:03 |
| tr3nton | but in the case of being active on a menu, nothing happens | 11:03 |

| ubottu | mickster04, please see my private message | 11:05 |
| halvor | how to solve this problem with bluetooth? btusb_bulk_complete: hci0 urb f7128b80 failed to resubmit (1) | 11:05 |
| poss | in response to this situation our hero burnt off a live cd and set about installing 10.04 alongside the existing install | 11:05 |
| poss | this also failed | 11:05 |
| ikonia | poss: please just state issues, rather than talk as if you're in a book | 11:06 |
| mickster04 | why does grb not install correctly? | 11:06 |
| poss | its rather hard to explain without background | 11:06 |
| ikonia | poss: then explain the background, without being in a book | 11:06 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: You _do_ notice that. Its a radical reduction in speed. Windows 7 boots in about fifteen seconds. Ubuntu boots in 1 minute 30 seconds. That should tell you something. | 11:07 |
| poss | I am currently forced to use live cd as the operating system as ubuntu will not install and the existing ubuntu installation reports kernel panic. However, the live cd freezes every half an hour or so | 11:07 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: that's utter nosense, ubuntu will not boot in 1 minute 30 seconds | 11:07 |
| halvor | so nobody knows anything about such bluetooth nonsense? | 11:08 |
| OomElvis | Q: i want to delete all exim4 packages, i.e. every package starting with 'exim4' | 11:08 |
| OomElvis | 'exim4-' | 11:08 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: my internal drives is about as fast as a fast memory stick when using Ubuntu. | 11:08 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: if it's booting in 1.30 seconds your disk block size is not the issue | 11:08 |
| OomElvis | any wildcard i can use for that? | 11:08 |
| mrb260478 | is anybody listening | 11:09 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: youre right. The problem is that Linux needs to recalculate every single disk operation because its a 4096B disk and not a 512B disk. I dont understand why you refuse to believe that. | 11:09 |
| mrb260478 | helppp | 11:09 |
| poss | I have run system diagnostics as best I could and have determined: grub memory test runs fine. The live cd works fine on another computer and will install completely on another computer. I have swapped out the cd drive and the hard drive | 11:09 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: because I've done a large ammount of work with this, that's why I refuse to accept it | 11:09 |
| poss | i have run ubuntu system testing off the live cd, it reported no errors | 11:10 |
| mickster04 | mrb260478: that's not a problem | 11:10 |
| tr3nton | ok. that works a treat. ;-) apps > metacity > keybinding_commands -> command_window_screenshot ... add argument --delay=3 at the end for a 3 sec delay. | 11:10 |
| tr3nton | in gconf-editor | 11:10 |
| poss | So Ubuntu will not install, and the exisiting ubuntu installation will not boot | 11:10 |
| ikonia | poss: that sounds like a hardware error of some sort if you have a kernel panic and the livecd is freezing | 11:10 |
| erUSUL | jo-erlend: linux dos not have to do anything it is the disk firmware what does that if you are using the disk in compatibility mode | 11:11 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: really? Because the hardware vendors are so aware of this that they actually write how to partition for Windows XP and Windows 7 on the harddisk. It even has a jumper to support Windows XP. In Linux, though, we have to manually do this, otherwise it gets seriously slow. The Advanced Format is supposed to increase efficiency, so this is terribly annoying. | 11:11 |
| mickster04 | mrb260478: that is not a problem.... | 11:11 |
| yarekt | poss, there must be something wrong with your machine that none of the tests have picked up | 11:11 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: carry on as you wish, I disagree and do not wish to argue it | 11:11 |
| jo-erlend | erUSUL: it works well if you just make sure the partitions start with sectors that are divisible by four. | 11:11 |
| sacarlson | poss: did you try turn off all built in devices from bios and remove all unneeded hardware to attempt to isolate if it's hardware rellated? maybe post your sudo lshw | pastebinit | 11:11 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: this is fact. There is nothing to agree or disagree about. | 11:12 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: there is | 11:12 |
| erUSUL | jo-erlend: all recent ( 10.10 ) disk utilities ( parted fdisk etc ) know how to round sectors for optimal performance | 11:12 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia: a link for you, randomly chosen. If you want, I will be happy to provide you with a thousand links. http://www.switched.com/2010/03/12/new-hard-drives-could-spell-trouble-for-xp-users?icid=sphere_blogsmith_inpage_engadget | 11:12 |
| erUSUL | jo-erlend: plenty of info here https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_4_KiB_sector_issues | 11:13 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: thank you, as I've said I disagree with what you are saying, and don't wish to discuss it further | 11:13 |
| erUSUL | jo-erlend: specialy the utilities section here https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/ATA_4_KiB_sector_issues#L-2._Userspace_tools_status_.28thanks_to_Karel_Zak.5B13.5D.29 | 11:13 |
| ikonia | jo-erlend: the tools I have suggested are capable of doing what you want, research how to use them and good luck | 11:13 |
| jo-erlend | erUSUL: the problem, as I stated, is that Linux firmly believes that this is a 512B disk, not a 4096B one, so it optimizes for a condition that is utterly false. | 11:13 |
| poss | Thing is sacarison, this computer has been running fine for over a year, it was not until i ran ubuntu update that anything went wrong at all, and now everything is screwed. Now it does look like a hardware problem, but if it is then it was obviously brought on by the update, would you agree? | 11:14 |
| mrb260478 | when i copy 80mb file from windows to samba share folder it is copied at average speed of 5mb/sec, but when i copy same file from samba share folder to windows it is copied in 2mb/sec speed why is this happenning any answer's please | 11:14 |
| ikonia | poss: no I would not agree | 11:14 |
| ikonia | poss: it is probably just a hardware failure, | 11:14 |
| jo-erlend | ikonia:... fdisk uses cylinders. I have no idea how to convert cylinders to sectors and vice versa. If youve done alot of work with this, why cant you at least point me in the right direction? | 11:14 |

| przemasu | Hi. It's me again. Somebody told me to change to "blank-only" to disable screen turning off. It doesn't work. I tried to change options in power management, gconfig-editor and BIOS. Maybe somebody know how to disable turning TV off. I'm using PC, not laptop | 11:16 |
| mrb260478 | can i tweak on windows or in ubuntu | 11:16 |
| mrb260478 | ftp too has the same problem | 11:16 |
| mrb260478 | speed reduces for copy from samba | 11:16 |
| yarekt | przemasu, setterm -powerdown 0; setterm -powersave Off; setterm -blank 0 | 11:17 |
| brontoeee | mrb260478, how about not using samba and test ftp speed? | 11:17 |
| mickster04 | so how come grub breaks on a fresh install, when ubuntu is on a second hdd? | 11:17 |
| mrb260478 | i need to use samba | 11:17 |
| erUSUL | jo-erlend: please read the wiki page i linked. check the version of utilities you are using. use a gpt partition table and recent enough fdisk and gparted | 11:17 |
| Arney | im still having the squashfs error, now I installed and md5'ed everything to no avail | 11:17 |
| mrb260478 | as i use ubuntu as file server | 11:17 |
| mrb260478 | has it something to do with sysctl.conf | 11:18 |
| mickster04 | mrb260478: well just copy files rather than pasting them? | 11:18 |
| poss | ok, so what kind of thing would cause an intermittent freezing of the live disc? what am i looking for? | 11:18 |
| ikonia | mickster04: doubtful | 11:18 |
| ikonia | poss: generic hardware problem, ram/cpu/psu/drives | 11:18 |
| brontoeee | mrb260478, yes and you need to use windows as well, you poor guy, i suggested to check the speed with some other 'protocol', thats it, so you have some sort of values to compare to | 11:18 |
| mickster04 | ikonia: what is? | 11:18 |
| pwillman | Someone can advice me on 10.10 desktop installation problems? | 11:18 |
| Graet| | poss cd drive failure would be where i look first | 11:18 |

| ubottu | pwillman: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 11:19 |
| mickster04 | ikonia: kk | 11:19 |
| przemasu | I forgot : TV is connected by S-Video, not D-SUB or something like this | 11:19 |
| poss | I have tried two different internal cd drives and an external usb cd drive same issue | 11:19 |

| gaurav_help | how to install themes | 11:20 |
| yarekt | przemasu, then my above answer still stands | 11:20 |
| gaurav_help | tar.gz file | 11:20 |
| ikonia | !themes | gaurav_help | 11:20 |
| ubottu | gaurav_help: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 11:20 |
| erUSUL | gaurav_help: drag and drop the tar.gz file over the System>Preferences>appearance|| themes dialog window | 11:20 |
| pwillman | Anyone figured out why 10.10 desktop refuses to install .iso on ntfs with windows vista 64bit? | 11:21 |
| elricL | pwillman: Install it on ext4 | 11:21 |
| sinisterstuf | pwillman, I don't think you should install Ubuntu on an ntfs filesystem | 11:21 |
| mickster04 | pwillman: that doesn't make sense, what are you trying to achieve? burn the ISO or install ubuntu on ntfs | 11:21 |
| jo-erlend | erUSUL: ... The problem isnt the tools. The problem is that I need to specify sectors manually because Linux believes my harddisk uses 512B sectors, when in reality it uses 4096B. And I dont know how to calculate this. | 11:21 |
| sinisterstuf | pwillman, ext4 is recommended | 11:21 |
| mickster04 | jo-erlend: *4? | 11:22 |
| jo-erlend | mickster04: what does that mean? | 11:22 |
| gaurav_help | ikonia: i just downlaod login screen from gnome theme but i dont know how to install | 11:22 |

| mickster04 | jo-erlend: multiply by four? | 11:22 |
| sinisterstuf | gaurav_help, what login program did it say the theme was for? | 11:23 |
| gaurav_help | ohhh thanks | 11:23 |
| sinisterstuf | ikonia, you can't change the login screen? what? | 11:23 |

| viggy_prabhu | hi friends, I remember an ebook was released under CC by SA for the basics of Ubuntu for newbies | 11:24 |
| sinisterstuf | ikonia, i changed mine just yesterday, by customisation though, not by installation of a theme | 11:24 |
| poss | Ok sacarlson here is that sudo lshw pastebin you asked for http://pastebin.com/TCVDj8ZH | 11:24 |
| viggy_prabhu | Can anybody please share the link of the ebook | 11:24 |
| sinisterstuf | ikonia, gaurav_help to my knowledge the same themes that are used by GNOME are usable by GDM | 11:24 |
| ikonia | sinisterstuf: they are not, gdm is a seperate component | 11:25 |
| erUSUL | jo-erlend: yes; you are using a drive that uses 4KB phisical sectors but tell theOS it is 512B for compatibility. it is explained in the wiki the problems that this causes and what is the solution. align the partitions to the first MB something newer tools know how to do it | 11:25 |
| jo-erlend | mickster04: 182401 cylinders * 4 = 729604 sectors? 729604 sectors * 4096 = 2988457984 Bytes? This is a 1.5TB disk... | 11:25 |
| pwillman | I used wubi install software to get it installed under windowd, but after first boot it says that .iso is unavailable | 11:25 |
| NielsMkn | :O | 11:25 |
| NielsMkn | I had the same problem once | 11:26 |
| sinisterstuf | ikonia, gaurav_help to change the appearance settings of GDM type the following in a terminal: sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/ | 11:26 |
| gaurav_help | i just download a theme tat was install but when i activate tat its shows me u don't install icons but i am seeing tat icin folder is inside tat | 11:26 |
| poss | So any ideas where I should look next for hardware failure? | 11:26 |
| pwillman | And if I use iso burned to cd, it doesn't find my hdd | 11:26 |
| sinisterstuf | gaurav_help, then log out to change the settings | 11:26 |
| ikonia | poss: it could be ram/cpu/psu/disks anything | 11:26 |
| sinisterstuf | gaurav_help, when you are done login again and type in a terminal: sudo unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop | 11:26 |
| jo-erlend | erUSUL: the problem is that I dont have an operating system and I cant spend hours installing ubuntu just to get a partition editor so I can install ubuntu one more time. It would take all day. | 11:27 |
| sinisterstuf | gaurav_help, that's pretty much the only theming you can do to GDM, if you want to do more you'll have to install a different login manager like SLiM | 11:27 |
| poss | ikonia, it is not my computer, it is my uncles computer, i just hit update and now im stuck fixing it, please, I am just asking where to look next, i've been working on this for days | 11:27 |
| erUSUL | jo-erlend: becouse an ubuntu or any other recent linux livecd is so hard to get ... | 11:27 |
| ikonia | poss: I've just told you what it could be, | 11:27 |
| poss | anything. | 11:28 |
| poss | incredibly useful | 11:28 |
| sinisterstuf | pwillman, I recommend you to avoid using wubi install, it is preferable to put the CD in and reboot to boot from the Ubuntu CD so that Ubuntu does the installing instead of Windows! | 11:28 |
| ikonia | poss: don't get smart, it could be anyone of those core components, set about testing them | 11:28 |
| jarreboum | my, I go unnoticed here too. Oh well. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1690690 | 11:28 |
| poss | ok, i've already tested the hard drives, one was failing so i took it out, the remaining one reports no problems. I've run a full grub mem diagnostic, it came back clean that leaves cpu and power supply, and i have no idea how to test those | 11:29 |
| ikonia | poss: how long did your memtest take ? | 11:29 |
| poss | about an hour | 11:30 |
| ikonia | poss: it should take about 18-24 hours to run a full set of tests | 11:30 |
| pwillman | Sinisterstuf, yeah, i tried that, but then ubuntu can't find my hdd... Only my usb hdd which I use as backup device | 11:30 |
| jo-erlend | erUSUL: can you explain what this means? For 4KiB physical sector offset-by-one drives, PSS is 4096, LSS 512 and AOFF 3584 and with n of 7 the above becomes, | 11:30 |
| ikonia | poss: you need to let it run for multiple passes | 11:30 |
| poss | o.O | 11:30 |
| poss | woah ok | 11:30 |
| poss | well then I'll do that | 11:30 |
| poss | thankyou | 11:30 |
| ikonia | poss: there are some good guides on the net about how to use memtest | 11:30 |
| sinisterstuf | pwillman, if it is Ubuntu 10.10 it might have small text at the bottom saying there are other partitions (eg. Windows partitions) that are hidden and to use the Advanced partitioning tool to view them | 11:31 |
| ikonia | poss: there are also good guides on the net to test things like psu/cpu/ram/overheating problems/voltage stablility issues etc | 11:31 |
| erUSUL | jo-erlend: no; i can not. i am not a storage hardware engeenier nor i do have to writte ata drivers for the linux kernel. others take care of that for me. but i quote « Overall, distributions being released after Spring of 2010 with the updated tools shouldn't have much problem aligning and dealing with 4KiB physical sector drives. If you are working on or testing a distro, please make sure all storage related tools are up-to-date and aligning disks pr | 11:32 |
| yarekt | poss, ubuntu install can never break the hardware, if you unplug everything except CDRom, CPU, Memory and PSU and if the Live CD still freezes, then its a hw problem for sure. The do come at most unsuspecting times | 11:32 |
| pwillman | Sinisterstuf, oh I need to check it again then when I get home from work. I hope that works like that... Thank you for your help. | 11:33 |
| sinisterstuf | jarreboum, unfortunately I'm really unfamiliar with your problem, the only thing I can think of is to install testdisk or photorec to try to recover your data that way, even after formatting a drive, data from that drive can usually still be recovered (I've done it with those tools) | 11:33 |
| sinisterstuf | pwillman, you're welcome, I hope that solves your problem, it hides them to stop you from accidentally reformatting your windows partition etc. | 11:34 |

| jo-erlend | erUSUL: I am trying to install 10.04. But I dont suppose the new distros have a database of all harddisks, or do they? Otherwise, how would they know that this is a 4096B disk when it doesnt say so? | 11:35 |

| XLV | sacarlson, the partitions i moved ( i used acronis true image for the ntfs ones and gparted from the linux ones ) are all readable/mountable from within a ubuntu livecd, dont see how using cp instead of gparted would alter anything | 12:22 |

But My printer has an option that allows it to scan to the PC (the printer initiating the scan, not xsane) but it doesnt seem to work. It just times out. I know that connection issues are out of the picture as it works from xsane. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a setting in xsane I can set to allow this | 12:57 |
| raheel | but if some one has by mistake sent a huge document for printing those pages will still get printed even if i try to reduce the period limit to say 10 seconds | 12:57 |
| juk | raheel: why you think it's related to cups? | 12:58 |
| Odaym | now it is up, SpeedrunnerG55, now you can "sudo apt-get install firestarter", Firestarter is a GUI tool to manage this firewall that you have put up, it is NOT the firewall itself, so leaving it or exiting it will not stop the firewall from being up | 12:58 |

| erUSUL | jenia: System>Preferences>appearance||effects tab. | 13:04 |
| elderman | billmania, still looking | 13:05 |
| raheel | sacarlson it will only stop accepting jobs for that e.g 10 sec period | 13:05 |
| sacarlson | raheel: well you can always reset cups to kill all pending stuf in some cron every 5min or whatever you set your period to | 13:05 |
| elderman | billmania, obviously I don't use it often | 13:05 |
| billmania | elderman: OK. I found the Wammu site which stian mentioned. It's http://wammu.eu/phones. My particular Samsung doesn't appear to be supported by Wammu/Gammu. | 13:06 |
| jenia | erUSUL: It doesn't work, I change it in effects, then when I restart computer, or logout-logon from-to gnome, the effects are off again and I have to turn it on again. Maybe there is some config file I can check. | 13:06 |
| erUSUL | jenia: brute force solution. install and use fusion-icon | 13:07 |
| sacarlson | raheel: but I'm sure someone with bad luck will hit the moment he prints one the window that it resets and losses pages but sounds like no mater what system you use they will loose pages anyway | 13:07 |

| brontoeee | kernel is optional? :) | 13:11 |
| raheel | juk your idea of using /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -o job-page-limit=1234 will stop printing after 1234 amount of pages has been reached. that is the maximum quota for that printer not for a single job | 13:12 |

| billmania | elderman: Any luck connecting your Samsung phone to your computer? | 13:23 |
| elderman | the cable is MIA, I'm afraid | 13:23 |
| elderman | very sorry | 13:23 |
| MysterX | Senjai: i am looking on the page youre giving.. the wireless chip is not in the list.. but i think ubuntu reconse it it hink | 13:23 |
| billmania | elderman: No worries. I'll keep digging on my end. | 13:23 |
| elderman | billmania, I'm going to give another look 'round the flat... | 13:24 |
| billmania | elderman: Thanks. | 13:24 |
| Senjai | MysterX, what wireless card are you using | 13:24 |
| Senjai | MysterX, have you installed a driver for it yet? | 13:24 |
| MysterX | Senjai: ZyDAS ZD1211 802.11g Wireless | 13:24 |
| Senjai | Your on 10.10 right? Have you installed its' driver? | 13:25 |
| MysterX | no not installed a driver at all... i hoped that ubunthu its reconized... | 13:25 |
| Senjai | Ubuntu does recognize major cards, and then recognizes that a driver needs to be installed and fetches it for you | 13:26 |
| MysterX | so lsusb shows me this: ZyDAS ZD1211 802.11g Wireless doesn't mean that he installed the driver... | 13:26 |
| Senjai | Hmm. | 13:27 |
| victor | juk : i have change my password, then reboot and here the error messages that i got : First one "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/victor/.ICEauthority", Second "Nautilus could not create the following required folders /home/victor/Desktop, /home/victor/.nautilus. Before running Nautilus, please create these folders, or set permissions such that Nautilus can create them" | 13:27 |
| Senjai | Is this an external wireless card? | 13:27 |
| MysterX | Senjai: no.. but for my .. what does lsusb shows? | 13:28 |
| Senjai | one sec | 13:29 |
| Senjai | MysterX, Ill try and help figure this out with you | 13:29 |
| sacarlson | victor: sounds like you might of had an encrypted /home/user , when you change password on the acount the encyption password is not changed | 13:30 |
| Senjai | lsusb is a utility for displaying information about USB buses in the | 13:30 |
| Senjai | system and the devices connected to them | 13:30 |
| raheel | ok GUYs i have tried out the command /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -o job-page-limit=5 and when i send a print of any number of pages less or more than five i get error could not print. the /var/log/cups/error.log contains Returning IPP client-error-not-possible for Create-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/ML-1610) from localhost WHAT TO DO??? | 13:30 |
| Senjai | You can't enable the device? | 13:30 |
| rany27 | I once typed a command to reveal a specific host computer's name and I got a lot of information about that specific computer identified by an IP i gave. What was that command? can you help me remember? | 13:30 |
| Senjai | MysterX, You can't enable the device? | 13:30 |
| raheel | removing the job limit resumes printing | 13:30 |
| Senjai | rany27, whois? nslookup? | 13:31 |
| MysterX | Senjai: i would if i know how.. fn+f2 doesn't work | 13:31 |
| rany27 | Senjai: I'll try those but just saying that I got a LOT of information. even the server's owner's name. Can I get this information with whois and nslookup? | 13:31 |
| Senjai | MysterX, Have you tried hooking it up to ethernet? It might force the wireless to update | 13:32 |
| sacarlson | raheel: I guess without a quota period it won't work | 13:32 |
| rany27 | Senjai: whois sounds familiar. | 13:32 |
| Senjai | rany27, it's whois | 13:32 |
| Senjai | rany27, thats what you want | 13:32 |
| rany27 | Senjai: Thanks a lot. | 13:32 |
| MysterX | Senjai: i am on ehternet right know | 13:32 |
| victor | sacarlson : no i haven't encrypted folders. But how can i be sure of it? | 13:32 |
| Senjai | MysterX, Duh.. lol | 13:32 |
| MysterX | i've also run the update :D | 13:32 |
| Senjai | MysterX, run sudo ifconfig | 13:33 |
| sacarlson | victor: you can see with sudo mount | 13:33 |
| Senjai | and put the output to pastebin.com | 13:33 |
| zamba | how can i disable the lock on the screensaver globally? | 13:33 |
| Fuwex | I'll simplify my earlier question: what is the best way of launching the X server at boot? (I don't want to launch any window managers or login (gdm)) | 13:33 |
| Fuwex | Ubuntu 10.10, that is | 13:34 |
| blkdg | hello, i am using ubuntu 10.4. 32 bit, and it is completely patched. It has a SIS integrated video card. I have turned the screen saver off. When I Suspend the machine, the monitor turns Off. How can I get it to function after the Suspend ends? | 13:34 |
| victor | sacarlson : no encrypted folders | 13:34 |
| elderman | billmania, I apologize. No luck. Well and truly gone. (found a lot of other other things of no use to you...) | 13:34 |
| XLV | erUSUL, sacarlson thanks.. fixed it.. erUSUL you were right, grub.cfg wasnt there, needed an upgrade to grub2, now it boots. thanks again | 13:34 |
| billmania | elderman: Thanks for trying. It will turn up when and where you least expect it. | 13:34 |
| raheel | let me try and set the quota period too to 5 secs and see. | 13:34 |
| blkdg | Fuwex, try startx | 13:34 |
| MysterX | Senjai: http://pastebin.com/VTmtRCMJ | 13:34 |
| Senjai | Fuwex, I'm just gonna guess and say, delete the window manager? | 13:35 |
| MysterX | he has ha wlan0 | 13:35 |
| MysterX | device | 13:35 |
| billmania | elderman: I'm chasing down pmount and usbmount now. No luck with gammu/wammu. | 13:35 |
| sacarlson | XLV: oh I never thought about not having grub2 installed very good | 13:35 |
| Senjai | MysterX, one sec | 13:35 |
| Fuwex | blkdg, Senjai: simply having Xorg installed doesn't make it launch at boot | 13:35 |
| elderman | I'm going to look at what of those I have installed | 13:35 |
| XLV | so people.. if you had upgraded to 10.10 from previous ubuntu versions ( i had that distrib for ages and upgraded through subsequent releases ) ... UPGRADE TO GRUB2 before it makes you pull your hair out | 13:36 |
| XLV | sacarlson, its been busting my balls since yesterday afternoon | 13:36 |
| Fuwex | In earlier versions of Ubuntu you could use something like a script in /etc/init.rd/local . But this doesn't work all this well anymore, I gather | 13:36 |
| XLV | sh*t | 13:36 |
| elderman | billmania, I have pmount installed | 13:36 |
| Senjai | Fuwex, System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications, dont know the command line equiv | 13:37 |
| elderman | not the others | 13:37 |
| blkdg | Fuwex, you need to config X. try X -configure | 13:37 |
| Senjai | MysterX, Try: System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers | 13:37 |
| elderman | and my Samsung phone connected without a hitch | 13:37 |
| XLV | erUSUL, sacarlson thanks.. fixed it.. erUSUL you were right, grub.cfg wasnt there, needed an upgrade to grub2, now it boots. thanks again ( if you didnt get it cause you disconnected ) | 13:37 |
| MysterX | hmm Senjai already did he pop's up with a modem driver.. | 13:37 |
| Senjai | And... you don't have a modem :P | 13:37 |
| Fuwex | Senjai: well, I'd like to achieve it on a base system with Xorg as the only package installed. Meaning I don't have a desktop | 13:38 |
| MysterX | Senjai: yes i do.. | 13:38 |
| Fuwex | blkdg, I'll check it out, thanks | 13:38 |
| blkdg | Fuwex, then cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 13:38 |
| erUSUL | XLV: no problem; glasd i helped ;P | 13:38 |
| blkdg | Fuwex, http://askubuntu.com/questions/4662/where-is-the-x-org-config-file-how-do-i-configure-x-there | 13:38 |
| Senjai | Fuwex, you're past my knowledge level, sorry I couldn't help you further | 13:38 |
| erUSUL | glad* | 13:38 |
| MysterX | Senjai: i must go know.. i should install the modem driver and gome bsck to you | 13:38 |
| MysterX | thanks for youre time ! :) | 13:38 |
| Senjai | MysterX, good luck :) | 13:38 |
| blkdg | Fuwex, then a simple startx from the term should get it going | 13:39 |
| * Senjai goes back to emacs, query if need anything . | 13:39 | |
| raheel | i set the quota period to 1 sec and page limit to 2 pages but all pages are printing normally STRANGE..... | 13:39 |
| Fuwex | blkdg: it needs to happen automatically at boot. Essentially, what I need to know, is where I can put a script that launches 'startx' at the proper time during boot :) | 13:39 |
| === Senjai is now known as Senjai|emacs| | ||
| Fuwex | Senjai: thanks for your help anyway :) | 13:40 |
| Senjai|emacs| | Fuwex, best of luck to you :) | 13:40 |
| Fuwex | Thank you | 13:40 |
| Fuwex | All right, let's simplify further: How can I make a script launch during boot? Specifically, the last script to run during the boot process | 13:41 |
| Fuwex | it used to be so simple in earlier versions of Ubuntu, e.g. /etc/init.d/local I think it was | 13:42 |
| Senjai|emacs| | Fuwex, if you use Grub, can't you edit the pre-boot commands? maybe you could disable things there, just a thought | 13:42 |
| Fuwex | Senjai|emacs|, I think maybe pre-boot is a little early to start the X server.. Unless I misunderstand you? | 13:43 |
| Senjai|emacs| | Fuwex, maybe there are flags to prevent loading certain services is what I meant, though I know nothing about linux boot commands | 13:43 |
| Senjai|emacs| | Fuwex, this is possible for windows (where most of my expertise lies) | 13:44 |
| sacarlson | Fuwex: I normaly use crontab with @reboot /home/user/scripttorun.sh , in the script I sometimes add sleep to be sure the system is stable before it runs | 13:44 |
| randomnoob | why is it that when i plug in my headphones i can't hear any audio, but my loudspeakers work perfectly fine? | 13:45 |
| Senjai|emacs| | sacarlson, so pro :) | 13:45 |
| Senjai|emacs| | randomnoob, are your loudspeakers external? | 13:45 |
| randomnoob | Senjai|emacs|: nope, laptop | 13:45 |
| blkdg | randomnoob, check mixer | 13:45 |
| === root is now known as Guest59141 | ||
| randomnoob | blkdg: there are no controls specific to the headphones | 13:45 |
| Senjai|emacs| | randomnoob, have you tried plugging other speakers in? Check mixer like blkdg said, does your loudspeakers shut off when you hook your headphones in? | 13:46 |
| randomnoob | or am i looking in the wrong place? | 13:46 |
| hiexpo | what is the chess game that comesin ubuntu 9.10 | 13:46 |

| blkdg | Fuwex, http://nixcraft.com/linux-software/491-start-x-server-ubuntu-linux.html | 13:46 |
| randomnoob | Senjai|emacs|: I know that they work if that's what you're asking about and yes, the loudspeakers do shut off | 13:46 |
| joth | (upgrading to kernel 2.6.36) | 13:46 |
| victor | sacarlson, juk : thank you for your time. Good bye | 13:46 |
| randomnoob | Senjai|emacs|: alsamixer doesn't show anything regarding headphones, where exactly should i look? | 13:47 |
| blkdg | randomnoob, is it a laptop? | 13:47 |
| randomnoob | blkdg: yep | 13:47 |
| Fuwex | I did find an /etc/rc.local script. Perhaps this is exactly what I need? I will try it | 13:47 |
| mah45 | Ubuntu do not copy /etc/skel into home directory ! Why ? | 13:48 |
| mah45 | for example .bashrc | 13:48 |
| Fuwex | blkdg: thanks, but I have no problem starting X, it's just a matter of executing 'startx' at boot :) | 13:48 |
| blkdg | randomnoob, then Senjai has a point. My laptop's speakers shut off automagically when the jack goes in | 13:48 |
| juk | victor: did you report a bug? | 13:49 |
| drizt | hello how do i update package with pkcon ? | 13:49 |

| blkdg | Fuwex, http://www.go2linux.org/how-to-install-startx | 13:50 |
| Fuwex | all right, I got it working now | 13:50 |
| victor | juk : no i haven't. I will try to fix it later with one my system teacher. Thank you for your time. Bye | 13:50 |
| blkdg | Fuwex, cool | 13:50 |
| Fuwex | seems /etc/rc.local was the script I was looking for | 13:50 |
| juk | victor: i don't care, whatever | 13:50 |
| Fuwex | blkdg, but thanks for your help | 13:50 |
| joth | Has anyone got any ideas? | 13:51 |
| randomnoob | so... any ideas guys? | 13:51 |
| Senjai|emacs| | sorry random, zoned out for a bit | 13:51 |

| speedrunnerG55 | now i cant connect to the interney | 13:52 |
| Senjai|emacs| | I don't have any other ideas. maybe this will help? | 13:52 |
| randomnoob | blkdg: hmm? | 13:52 |
| Senjai|emacs| | !sound | randomnoob | 13:52 |

| blkdg | randomnoob, how many input jacks are there on the laptop | 13:52 |
| Senjai|emacs| | randomnoob, not sure if anything that can help you is there, worth a check though | 13:52 |
| Odaym | any supercow | 13:52 |
| Odaym | what? haha | 13:52 |
| Odaym | i mean | 13:52 |
| Odaym | any idea what supercow is? | 13:52 |
| randomnoob | Senjai|emacs|: I'll check the troubleshooting page, thanks :) | 13:53 |
| Odaym | speedrunnerG55, "sudo ufw disable" | 13:53 |
| blkdg | randomnoob, for instance, my line out never works, so I must use the other out line | 13:53 |
| randomnoob | blkdg: two, one for headphones and one for the mic | 13:53 |
| blkdg | oh. | 13:53 |
| blkdg | what sound card is it? | 13:53 |
| sacarlson | speedrunnerG55: there is really no need for a firewall unless you want to filter certain ports access to different sources | 13:53 |

| juk | raheel: you said it twice but never mentioned how it looked like | 13:57 |
| randomnoob | blkdg: thanks | 13:57 |
| blkdg | randomnoob, looks like there's a workaround involving getting the latest alsa driver | 13:57 |
| raheel | juk well how the error looked like? | 13:57 |
| raheel | ok | 13:57 |
| blkdg | randomnoob, it's about half way down the pafe | 13:57 |
| blkdg | f/g | 13:58 |
| juk | raheel: i wouldn't know | 13:58 |
| raheel | this is the error upon running the command /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p printername -o job-page-limit=1234 and restarting cups Returning IPP client-error-not-possible for Create-Job (ipp://localhost:631/printers/ML-1610) from localhost | 13:58 |
| Odaym | llutz, you there? | 13:58 |
| raheel | STRANGE!!! | 13:58 |

| oCean | falconflame: this is not the channel for bt support | 14:02 |
| blkdg | raheel, use a browser and use this address: http://localhost:631/ | 14:02 |
| raheel | i am using cups | 14:02 |
| raheel | yes i have opened the browser | 14:02 |
| raheel | now what? | 14:03 |
| blkdg | raheel, use a browser and use this address: http://localhost:631/ | 14:03 |

| lebear | I'm having a problem that started recently for no apparent reason. Most the time I try to fullscreen a video (in vlc, mplayer, etc) it just closes down. Sometimes it works, but usually not. I'm not having any problems with flash (youtube etc) fullscreens. How do I go about troubleshooting this? | 14:03 |
| scarface | Hi guys... So why does Ubuntu (10.10) need internet access during the install? | 14:04 |
| raheel | i am using that address | 14:04 |
| sacarlson | raheel: I think blkdg: means to use your browser to setup cups with http:/localhost:631 | 14:04 |
| blkdg | lebear, are you using compwiz at the same time? | 14:04 |
| blkdg | sacarlson, thank you. | 14:04 |
| raheel | well i think cups is setup i can see my printer in the printers section | 14:04 |
| raheel | all jobs are logged properly with the page count. what else do i need to setup??? | 14:05 |
| blkdg | please use this URL in your browser localhost:631 raheel | 14:05 |
| lebear | blkdg, I believe so. I have desktop effects set to normal, that's a comiz thing right? | 14:05 |
| blkdg | lebear, right. | 14:05 |
| blkdg | lebear, if there are no effects going on, that ususally cuts down on 'my youtube / my googleearth ' will not work questions. | 14:06 |
| blkdg | raheel, that url points to the cups server on your box. then config it from there. | 14:06 |
| Paulo39 | hi | 14:07 |
| dnivra | hello. does every ubuntu machine have the file /etc/lsb-release by default? is it created when ubuntu is installed or does some application need to be installed? | 14:07 |

| lebear | blkdg, yeah. I disabled effects and now fullscreening seem to work perfectly. Thanks! But what might be the issue, it used to work fine even with effects | 14:07 |

| lebear | blkdg, haha. or I upgrade the computer and get both ;); | 14:08 |
| scarface | elderman, You can do the install without being connected, but if you ARE connected, it does... stuff. You can see network activity. I thought that it might be downloading the latest software updates, but then you still have updates to apply after booting the installed version. | 14:08 |
| blkdg | lebear, no. | 14:08 |
| yuskhanzab | anyone: how to change my account as root account | 14:09 |
| blkdg | lebear, not a hardware issue | 14:09 |
| marotteo901 | hello | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | yuskhanzab | 14:09 |
| ubottu | yuskhanzab: 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 | 14:09 |
| lebear | blkdg, really. thought it was memory related :/ | 14:09 |
| inckie | what is the release cycle of JeOS ? | 14:09 |
| juk | AbhijiT: transitions? | 14:09 |
| oCean | yuskhanzab: the root account is locked. Use sudo for administrative privileges | 14:09 |
| AbhijiT | juk, yes | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | !jeos | 14:09 |
| juk | AbhijiT: what is that | 14:09 |
| ubottu | JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured specifically for virtual appliances. See http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos for more information. | 14:09 |

| Django84 | hi!! | 14:10 |
| dnivra | juk: i do know there is a package like that. is it the package that creates the file? | 14:10 |
| AbhijiT | juk, have you sed windows movie maker? like when we change from one frame to another frame so we can set an effect 'how' this change should happen | 14:10 |
| yuskhanzab | i want to copy paste image in my background folder, but i cant | 14:10 |
| juk | dnivra: lsb-release? | 14:10 |
| dnivra | juk: yes. does installing lsb-release create the file /etc/lsb-release? | 14:11 |
| juk | AbhijiT: happly no | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | yuskhanzab: for a single user. You are proberly better off just having a Background image directgroy in your home dir. Theres no real point in puttung wallpaper in the system dirs | 14:11 |
| yuskhanzab | see this video, i want to do this on my account.. im the admin | 14:11 |
| yuskhanzab | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLD-N3BZRtI&feature=related | 14:11 |
| blkdg | lebear, no i use a little app called dr.java for programming, and it craps out my X if effects are on. go to http://drjava.org/, and on the left, click on COMPIZ | 14:11 |
| AbhijiT | juk, good! :) | 14:11 |
| raheel | hasnt anyone setup a print server before??? | 14:11 |
| Django84 | I'm looking to buy a wireless router that has the ability to configure when connect to internet (by PPPoE) and when disconnect, automatically. | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | yuskhanzab: 'sudo cp filename.jpg /usr/share/backgrounds/' if you really want to. | 14:11 |
| sacarlson | Paulo39: I thought that sleep && would just run an application in the background and continue to run the next it the list without stoping | 14:11 |
| aeon-ltd | !ups | raheel | 14:11 |
| aeon-ltd | !cups | raheel | 14:11 |
| ubottu | raheel: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 14:11 |
| raheel | i know but i am now tired of searching and googling and chatting and searching...... please help just let me know that it is not possible so that i can take some rest | 14:12 |
| === i7-Cud4 is now known as i7Cud4 | ||
| Dr_Willis | raheel: i have and its rather trivial.. use cups web interface.. set it up to share.. and you proberly want to install samba also. | 14:12 |
| yuskhanzab | what that comand means? | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | raheel: i found it trivial the last dozen times ive done it. | 14:12 |
| Paulo39 | sacarlson, it doesn't do that in this case | 14:12 |
| yuskhanzab | i can copy paste the file in root folder? | 14:12 |
| Paulo39 | i mean, i have that code | 14:12 |
| raheel | Dr willis REALLY............ | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | yuskhanzab: copys a file to a dir.. | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis | raheel: yes. really.. i share my laser printers and so forth all the tiome on my homne lan with very few issues. | 14:12 |
| Paulo39 | and it just runs the first command after the first sleep | 14:12 |
| raheel | Dr Willis i hope you understand my problem. | 14:12 |
| dnivra | juk: why i am asking this question is because i extracted the deb archive lsb-release and it doesn't create the file /etc/lsb-release. so wanted to know if the file does exist by default. | 14:13 |
| Dr_Willis | raheel: so far ice seen you ask 'how to setup a print server' thats it... | 14:13 |
| Paulo39 | it doens't go for the 2ns sleep unless i exit the folderview app | 14:13 |
| raheel | Dr Willis i hope you understand my problem. i only need to set the maximum pages per job how to do that | 14:13 |
| oCean | yuskhanzab: you can use any command requiring root privileges.. use "sudo" ! | 14:13 |
| Dr_Willis | raheel: check the cups w3eb interface It proberly has a setting for that. | 14:13 |
| raheel | i could not find any option in the cups web interface | 14:13 |
| elderman | scarface, I dunno. Odd. Maybe the folks at #ubuntu-installed would know? | 14:13 |
| sacarlson | Paulo39: I'm not sure it makes any difference but I normaly break scripts into lines, I wonder if a line is interprited one at a time? | 14:14 |
| Dr_Willis | raheel: check cups.org and the cups docs. Ive never bothered with such a setting. I know theres a lot of 'business' type settings in there somewhere. | 14:14 |
| raheel | nope. there i no setting for page limits etc. | 14:14 |
| juk | dnivra: well it reads that file, so suppose it comes there when you install pack | 14:14 |
| Paulo39 | sacarlson, i'll try to do that | 14:14 |
| elderman | scarface, *ubuntu-installer | 14:14 |
| scarface | elderman, Ah, thanks for the tip | 14:14 |
| dnivra | juk: if you do not have the package installed, could you please check if the file is present? | 14:14 |
| raheel | yeah i am sure too but i have spend hours searching on cups.org just cannot find something that does the job. | 14:15 |
| sacarlson | Paulo39: and don't put the && on the lines with sleep in them | 14:15 |
| oCean | raheel: job-page-limit? http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/spec-ipp.html | 14:15 |
| elderman | scarface, I dont know if it'll help. This place is a madhouse. I'm hanging out on ubuntu-x hoping for a response to a question for a while now. Crickets. | 14:15 |
| blkdg | raheel, 1. how did you setup your printer? | 14:15 |
| blkdg | 2. have you gone to localhost:631 like I've asked you too? | 14:16 |
| raheel | every buddy is pointing to the same page and that page is not helping | 14:16 |
| raheel | yes i blkdg i have opened my cups page | 14:16 |
| Django84 | hi! I'm looking to buy a wireless router that has the ability to configure when connect to internet (by PPPoE) and when disconnect, automatically. | 14:16 |
| CrystalLinux | test | 14:17 |
| Dr_Willis | quick googling of the cups docs mentions this. (not a page limit but a print job size limit) (i think) -> The MaxRequestSize directive controls the maximum size of print files, IPP requests, and HTML form data in HTTP POST requests. | 14:17 |
| Secrets1235567 | hello | 14:18 |
| a7i3n | /eixt | 14:18 |
| Secrets1235567 | guys | 14:18 |
| dnivra | !test | CrystalLinux | 14:18 |
| ubottu | CrystalLinux: Failed! | 14:18 |
| blkdg | lebear, if you've read that page, you can see that there's a small workaround by getting the latest java. did you try that? | 14:18 |
| Secrets1235567 | can someone help | 14:18 |
| Secrets1235567 | me | 14:18 |
| raheel | yes that is what i have concluded yet. linux does not have an option to control the max job page limit | 14:18 |
| Dr_Willis | The PageLimit directive defines the value of the job-page-limit attribute which can be set by the lpadmin -o job-page-limit= command. | 14:18 |
| dnivra | !someone | Secrets1235567 | 14:18 |
| ubottu | Secrets1235567: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 14:18 |
| CrystalLinux | I was just testing that I could talk. | 14:19 |
| elderman | CrystalLinux, loud and clear. | 14:19 |
| dnivra | CrystalLinux: and that was to prove you can :D. | 14:19 |
| oCean | raheel: I remember job-page-limit works fine for me | 14:19 |
| blkdg | it's not a cb radio CrystalLinux | 14:19 |
| blkdg | :) | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | The job-page-limit attribute specifies the maximum number of pages that may be printed by a user, including banner files. The default value of 0 specifies that there is no limit | 14:19 |
| Secrets1235567 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/569161/ | 14:20 |
| Secrets1235567 | see this | 14:20 |
| Secrets1235567 | perl | 14:20 |

| Secrets1235567 | and cpan is not working | 14:20 |
| raheel | does it limit the maximum pages per JOB not per user | 14:20 |

| raheel | we cannot set the max pages limit for any job. | 14:22 |

| Secrets1235567 | okay | 14:23 |
| Dr_Willis | raheel: You set the job-page-limit attribute, seems to be a per-printer setting | 14:23 |

| billmania | blkdg: Looking now. | 14:40 |

| elderman | SarahPengi, could you post all the details again in a private message | 14:41 |
| SarahPengi | Sure! | 14:41 |
| blkdg | andrea_, is that a laptop? is there a Fn / Function key? | 14:41 |
| mkanyicy | elfranne, try 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop' followed by a 'start' | 14:42 |
| andrea_ | blkdg: yes, it's a laptop, but Fn key simply doesn't work | 14:42 |
| blkdg | are you running from the battery, or from the wall when you try the Fn key? | 14:42 |
| blkdg | have you altered the powersaver settings? | 14:42 |
| andrea_ | doesn't work both on battery nor on AC | 14:43 |
| blkdg | andrea_, my acer only ever gets to 80 brightness when it's on the battery, when i plug into the wall, i can get to super bright 100% | 14:43 |
| blkdg | ah | 14:43 |
| blkdg | andrea_, have you adjusted the power saver settings? | 14:44 |
| billmania | blkdg: Off to TigerDirect Chicago. Thanks. | 14:44 |
| andrea_ | on battery the screen light is too low, on AC is ok | 14:44 |
| blkdg | billmania, call first dude | 14:44 |
| andrea_ | but can't adjuste it | 14:44 |
| blkdg | andrea_, " my acer only ever gets to 80 brightness when it's on the battery, when i plug into the wall, i can get to super bright 100% | 14:45 |

| blkdg | oh | 14:47 |
| blkdg | tried the kernel patch? | 14:47 |
| blkdg | and there exists a patch in Kernel 2.6.33: Greg Kroah-Hartman created a module that implements this functionality (if you want to have a look at it, get 2.6.33-rc3 sources and look in drivers/staging/samsung-laptop), | 14:48 |
| andrea_ | probably yes | 14:48 |
| blkdg | pardon? | 14:48 |
| jo-erlend | can someone _please_ help me partition my disk so that the first partition starts at sector 64? I've spent more than twenty hours trying to install Ubuntu without success. | 14:48 |

| andrea_ | neither on power management | 14:55 |
| Seth | Dr_Willis: i didnt find anything, but i will check again.. | 14:56 |
| Odaym | the very fact that your screen brightness changes (regardless of when and where), means that this is functional | 14:56 |
| kyle___ | So, Thunderbird never stays is date desc order... Any idea's ? | 14:56 |

| Odaym | this is what you wanted, andrea_, isn't it? to keep the brightness from dimming too much when you are on Battery power | 15:01 |
| andrea_ | but when i turn on pc directly from battery, brightness remains low, even pluggin pc on AC | 15:01 |

| jyfl987 | a Question: i have compiled a WM by myself, but after i add a wm.desktop to the /usr/share/xsessions/ and login again, still cant found the wm item which i have added, so what'wrong with it ? | 15:02 |
| andrea_ | Odaym: yes, and could change it on my will | 15:02 |
| andrea_ | just let me reboot it unplugged | 15:02 |
| andrea_ | and see if it worked | 15:02 |
| MaverickMC | hey, :) can you guys help me get my Kernel set for Low Latency? | 15:02 |
| andrea_ | ok? | 15:02 |
| Odaym | look at your F1,F2,etc.. keys on the top, andrea_ , do you see one with the display icon on it? | 15:02 |
| psycho_oreos | xangua, oh well give mpsystem the right link then :) | 15:02 |
| Oer | MaverickMC, you want a low latency kernel, like RT-kernel in ubuntu-studio ? = realtime | 15:02 |
| Odaym | F7 or F8, andrea_ | 15:02 |
| andrea_ | yes, F4 | 15:03 |
| Odaym | and F5? | 15:03 |
| Odaym | up and down? | 15:03 |
| MaverickMC | i guess so | 15:03 |
| andrea_ | i think it's suspension button | 15:03 |
| MaverickMC | i am using ubuntu 10.10 X86 32 bit | 15:03 |
| Odaym | no, it should be the icon of a small sun | 15:03 |
| Dr_Willis | jyfl987: im not sure thats the proper place. Look for the 'gnome.desktop' file. also. You may need to restart the GDM service. if that is the right place. | 15:03 |
| andrea_ | there's a sun half black, half white | 15:03 |
| andrea_ | yep | 15:03 |
| Odaym | full one | 15:03 |
| Odaym | with an up arrow and a down arrow | 15:03 |
| Odaym | next to one another | 15:03 |
| andrea_ | no, those are on arrows up and down | 15:04 |
| _chun | Say I have two computers both running ssh-server on a local network -- when I ssh into the network using its external ip address, which of those computers am I going to be connecting to? | 15:04 |
| Dr_Willis | jyfl987: that does seem to be the right place now. :) used to be differnt. | 15:04 |
| jyfl987 | Dr_Willis: i have restart it, its in lucid, and i found if i edit an exists .desktop files, the changed value will show at login | 15:04 |
| andrea_ | and don't work with Fn :( | 15:04 |
| Odaym | does pressing the Fn key along .. | 15:04 |
| Odaym | oh | 15:04 |
| MaverickMC | why am i still waiting? | 15:04 |
| Odaym | then you need to identify that specific function of your keyboard, andrea_ | 15:04 |
| Odaym | Fn sometimes doesn't work by default | 15:04 |
| Dr_Willis | jyfl987: check ownership and permissions. I normally just copy gnome.destkop and edit it. | 15:05 |
| andrea_ | nononono, let me explain | 15:05 |
| Odaym | MaverickMC, i don't think this is a restaurant where you can order something on demand | 15:05 |
| Odaym | just be patient | 15:05 |
| jyfl987 | Dr_Willis: i am also copy an exists .desktop file and then changed the filename and the value | 15:05 |
| MaverickMC | ok | 15:05 |
| andrea_ | when pressing Fn and arrows, appears the screen icon of brightness adjustment, but nothing else happens | 15:05 |
| andrea_ | got it? | 15:05 |
| Dr_Willis | MaverickMC: i think someone suggested theres a rt kernel in the repos. I belive ubuntustudio uses it by default. | 15:05 |
| Hierro59 | what is the irc channel in Spanish | 15:05 |
| jyfl987 | Dr_Willis: so is there any script like update-initramfs to make the change to be accept? | 15:05 |
| gartral|cr48 | I have my laptop configured too blank screen when I close the lid, but I notice 2 problems. 1 the backlight stays on, and two, the screen doesn't lock... how can i fix this? | 15:06 |
| Code_Bleu | anyone know how i can get the current weather form the terminal? | 15:06 |
| Dr_Willis | jyfl987: any time ive ever edited those files. I just copy gnome.desktop, edit it.. restart gdm.. it works. | 15:06 |
| Odaym | so you can see that the brightness bar is rising and falling, andrea_, but not affecting the actual brightness of the screen? | 15:06 |
| Dr_Willis | The program 'weather' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 15:06 |
| andrea_ | exactly | 15:06 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo apt-get install weather-util | 15:06 |
| Hierro59 | please, what is the irc channel in Spanish | 15:06 |
| MaverickMC | i don't want the F#$%ing Rt Kernel | 15:06 |
| Odaym | this beats me | 15:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Code_Bleu: try the weather command? :) | 15:06 |
| Odaym | never seen something like that | 15:06 |
| jyfl987 | Dr_Willis: i will try again now, wait me a minutes | 15:06 |
| sinisterstuf | Code_Bleu, emacs would | 15:06 |
| MaverickMC | unless it is faster | 15:06 |
| andrea_ | Hierro59: #ubuntu-es | 15:07 |
| gartral|cr48 | !realtime | MaverickMC | 15:07 |
| Hierro59 | joing #ubuntu-es | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | MaverickMC: i thought they were the same thing.. but i dont use either. | 15:07 |
| Odaym | andrea_, try to google for "<your keyboard brand> problem with brightness keys" | 15:07 |
| Hierro59 | join #ubuntu-es | 15:07 |
| Dr_Willis | 'faster' is relative :) to your benchmarks I guess. | 15:07 |
| Odaym | Hierro59, say "/join #ubuntu-es" | 15:07 |
| andrea_ | already done, no solutions found :( | 15:07 |
| erUSUL | Hierro59: /join #ubuntu-es | 15:07 |
| gartral|cr48 | I have my laptop configured too blank screen when I close the lid, but I notice 2 problems. 1 the backlight stays on, and two, the screen doesn't lock... how can i fix this? | 15:08 |
| MaverickMC | afaik Low Latency Kernel and system is for older pcs | 15:08 |
| Odaym | it's very strange andrea_ | 15:08 |
| Code_Bleu | Dr_Willis: I dont have a weather command, and apt-get install weather doesnt work either | 15:08 |
| Odaym | what about the volume, andrea_ ? | 15:08 |
| Odaym | works? | 15:08 |

| sparky44 | i use weatherbug works good | 15:18 |
| sacarlson | kamalmv: wake on lan? no that has nothing to do with boot off lan unless I misunderstand what you want. | 15:18 |
| Code_Bleu | sparky44: apt-get install weather-utill...then run weather <options> | 15:18 |
| elderman | gartral|cr48, yeah, I think these are really common problems | 15:18 |
| blkdg | raheel, if it was a basic option it would be included with the DRIVER for your printer. | 15:18 |
| juk | !best | MaverickMC: | 15:18 |
| ubottu | MaverickMC:: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 15:18 |
| andrea_ | just let me reboot pc and see if brightness changes when turn it on on battery | 15:18 |
| Odaym | ok | 15:19 |
| raheel | blkdg actually the reason behind it is to limit accidental printing of huge documents | 15:19 |

| raheel | LOL yeah. we need to train the humans now...LOL | 15:19 |
| compdoc | MaverickMC, its best to start with the newest and work backwards if you have issues. 10.10 or 10.04 at least. The older they are, the more vulnerable they are, and the worse they run on newer hardware | 15:20 |
| kamalmv | sacarlson: i meant to power on a pv from another in an existing LAN | 15:20 |
| kamalmv | sacarlcon' power on a pc | 15:20 |

| brontoeee | induz, 'which kdenlive' in terminal | 15:39 |
| speed_ | it was using up a lot of the ram. (old laptop) and slowed it down | 15:40 |

| toph | pertheusual: wow that sounds terrible | 16:23 |
| alindt | pertheusual: "invisible box"? | 16:23 |
| speed_ | im upgradding now | 16:23 |
| WeThePeople | are there any ways to make ubuntu 10.04 run faster/ | 16:23 |
| pertheusual | yeah, a square area where clicking has no effect | 16:24 |
| econdudeawesome | pertheusual: any unusual processes running in the background? | 16:24 |
| pertheusual | the current one is about 250x200px, I measured in gimp | 16:24 |
| econdudeawesome | I believe you can "ctrl+alt+t" to open a terminal and then run top to view processes | 16:24 |
| toph | pertheusual: so you experience it while watching videos in flash? | 16:25 |
| econdudeawesome | WeThePeople: What kind of things are you wanting to do? | 16:25 |
| magicianlord | do you recommend keeping openoffice installed? | 16:25 |
| toph | pertheusual: does it ever appear when doing desktop tasks that have nothing to do with flash? | 16:25 |
| econdudeawesome | WeThePeople: as in, are you wanting to make it run faster by reinstalling only the most basic of things? | 16:25 |
| IdleOne | magicianlord: why are you polling the channel? | 16:25 |
| magicianlord | i need advice | 16:26 |
| pertheusual | toph: I think it might be happening when flash crashes, but that's only a theory. the process list foesn't mention flash anywhere after the crash | 16:26 |
| IdleOne | magicianlord: close it, leave it open, up to you. | 16:26 |
| econdudeawesome | magicianlord: what are you needing advice on? | 16:26 |
| WeThePeople | econdudeawesome, anything that will make it run faster, my WinXP runs faster than Ubun. | 16:26 |
| pertheusual | toph: I'm wondering if something crashes and doesn't disconnect whatever graphics context it had, so it just leaves a box? | 16:26 |
| magicianlord | IdleOne: cant decide whether to keep openoffice installed | 16:26 |
| magicianlord | the big updates are a hassle | 16:26 |
| toph | WeThePeople: you could try disabling some of the startup apps if you need to reclaim memory or tweak your kernel/swap settings but most of the performance related stuff is handled well automatically | 16:27 |
| IdleOne | So remove it if you don't need it. | 16:27 |
| Fuwex | which files govern the startup of services? | 16:27 |
| econdudeawesome | WeThePeople: that's fairly odd. You are running plain vanilla Ubuntu? (regular, out of the box desktop?) | 16:27 |
| alindt | WeThePeople: runs faster doing what? | 16:27 |
| magicianlord | but i dont know if i may need it in hte future | 16:27 |
| linxeh | I've just taken the nvidia graphics card out of my machine and wish to use the onboard intel graphics - how do I tell ubuntu to redetect the onboard intel graphics and use that for X ? | 16:27 |
| magicianlord | its hard to decide | 16:27 |
| geekahedron_ | anyone familiar with this issue: every time i restart my laptop, the visual effects revert to "none" and i have to manually change it | 16:27 |
| WeThePeople | econdudeawesome, its 10.04 LTS thats all i know | 16:28 |
| terry | magicianlord: Exactly what is it that you are trying to accomplish? | 16:28 |
| toph | pertheusual: yeah but what you are doing at the time of the issue, is it normally watching a video in your browser in flash? | 16:28 |
| erUSUL | linxeh: remove the xorg.conf file ( /etc/X11/xorg.conf ) | 16:28 |
| WeThePeople | alindt, video on the web, opening up app, everything | 16:28 |
| econdudeawesome | WeThePeople: would you be willing to get rid of the eye candy? I run lubuntu-desktop when I have a lower-powered computer and it works for my needs. You can install it and choose which session you want at login. the command to get it is "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" | 16:28 |
| pertheusual | I honestly don't know. since they are invisible, I don't usually notice them right away, and it's reasonably rare. maybe a new one once a week | 16:29 |
| econdudeawesome | WeThePeople: You can still use all the same programs. The only thing that changes is a less needy display--switches from GNOME to LXDE. Wikipedia goes into a good writeup about these. | 16:29 |
| alindt | pertheusual: by invisible you mean that you discover that clicking inside that area has no effect? | 16:29 |
| toph | linxeh: you need to create an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then edit it to make sure the driver value reflects the intel driver you are trying to use for your graphics card | 16:30 |
| pertheusual | yeah | 16:30 |
| econdudeawesome | WeThePeople: I do recall when I first added lubuntu-desktop that lxdm and gdm (the things that let you sign in) would occasionally conflict. I resolved this by uninstalling gdm with apt-get | 16:30 |
| WeThePeople | econdudeawesome, cool, so when i start ubuntu i will need to choose LXDE from the drop down? | 16:30 |
| j_3784 | what is lxde | 16:31 |
| econdudeawesome | WeThePeople: you only need to choose it once--it remembers which you chose last. But if you want to switch back you're good to go. I believe it will give you an option for lubuntu and lubuntu netbook, or something akin to that. | 16:31 |
| GeekMan | BRO ok i just finaly figured out how to make my cd drive on my ibook work you have to manualy enter udisks --poll-for-media /dev/hdc my question is where cna i set this so it does it automaticly https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues | 16:31 |
| toph | pertheusual: ah I see, try updating flash and see if that helps. If not it could be a driver/compiz bug | 16:31 |
| econdudeawesome | j_3784: Wikipedia has a pretty good writeup about it. It's a much lower-powered display that replaces GNOME | 16:31 |
| toph | pertheusual: hard to know what to do when it is rare/difficult to reproduce like that | 16:32 |
| magicianlord | openbox by itself is better than lxde | 16:32 |
| geekahedron_ | my computer has to search for display drivers every time i start up | 16:32 |
| geekahedron_ | anyway to make it remember what it's using? | 16:32 |
| econdudeawesome | j_3784: It however does not have much by way of eye candy. Compiz is not compatible. Plus it changes the way the menu looks. But all your apps should run. Also, it switches out terminal for lxterminal | 16:32 |
| toph | linxeh: do you need help telling ubuntu which driver to use? | 16:32 |
| terry | GeekMan: can you pastebin your /etc/fstab file? | 16:33 |
| econdudeawesome | geekahedron_: I don't know what the answer to your question is, but I noticed no one has answered yet | 16:33 |
| toph | geekahedron: specify the driver in xorg.conf | 16:33 |
| pertheusual | toph: agreed. mostly wanted to see if anyone else had run into it. oh well. I'll keep digging :) | 16:33 |
| GeekMan | terry: do what lol | 16:33 |

| econdudeawesome | geekahedron_: I suspect there should be a config file under /home/<user>./<config file>... Does anyone else know the correct answer to this? | 16:33 |
| toph | pertheusual: yeah that is a most unusual bug lol, never heard of it before now | 16:33 |
| terry | GeekMan: Are you using 10.04? | 16:34 |
| GeekMan | yeah | 16:34 |
| linxeh | toph: I dont see why these days I should have to edit things when the system detects everything automatically - I'm not back in 1995 using slackware! However, I'm being lazy - I should google this, but I dont have another machine to hand, and the modern web on links/lynx is somewhat painful! I'll try erUSUL's solution first :) | 16:34 |
| toph | econdudeawesome: yeah the config file is /etc/X11/xorg.conf, he needs to create one and specify the driver to use there | 16:34 |
| Cem_Nome5 | hi | 16:35 |
| econdudeawesome | geekahedron_: there you go :-) /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the config file. | 16:35 |
| geekahedron_ | toph: i don't have an xorg.conf file ... I thought that was deprecated? | 16:35 |

Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 16:36 |

| geekahedron_ | toph: yes, basically. i'm not sure if it's a driver issue necessarily, but after I change the setting it spends a few seconds "searching for drivers" | 16:39 |

| econdudeawesome | geekahedron_: something that I've done before is just to remove and reinstall Xserver... that would perhaps fix the issue but is a little extreme. The issue sounds like its with Metacity or Compiz, not with X | 16:41 |
| econdudeawesome | geekahedron_: most likely Compiz as I read over the log just now | 16:42 |
| toph | geekahedron: do you get any error messages or have any other settings not being saved? | 16:42 |

| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 16:58 |
| erUSUL | Ziber: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Services_for_UNIX | 16:58 |
| tsimpson | GeekMan: the ext family of filesystems simply don't get fragmented, it's only the default windows filesystems (FAT and NTFS) that do | 16:58 |
| Saik | ruan: I'm looking for the hardware, not the software | 16:58 |
| ruan | Saik: ah ok | 16:58 |
| cynical | sss: you can defrag your disk but the tool requires kernel patches and generally isn't considered necessary because most linux file systems are journaled so data corruption is minimal | 16:58 |

| gartral|cr48 | Cem_nome5: no.. it won't let you run a sudo command without your pass.. | 17:04 |
| cynical | geekahedron: ah so that is the problem, this is an upgraded ubuntu right? | 17:04 |
| drc | Saik: There is a channel on claibre here #calibre | 17:04 |
| mamece2 | erusul sudo ldconfig does nothing, is taht ok? | 17:04 |
| geekahedron_ | cynical: no, clean install of 10.10 | 17:04 |
| GeekMan | i tunes should think about swtiching to linux and drop windows | 17:04 |
| Saik | drc: thx | 17:04 |
| GeekMan | XD | 17:05 |
| erUSUL | mamece2: dunno; try sensord; does it work now? | 17:05 |
| YamatoPotter | can some help me? how can I install GCC on Ubuntu 10.10 | 17:05 |
| magicianlord | or should i not bother with anything except noatime on a ssd | 17:05 |
| cynical | geekahedron: ok well try removing compiz and reinstalling it | 17:05 |
| econdudeawesome | YamatoPotter: it most likely is already installed | 17:05 |
| erUSUL | !b-e | YamatoPotter | 17:05 |
| ubottu | YamatoPotter: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 17:05 |
| econdudeawesome | YamatoPotter: to check, open up synaptic and search for "gcc" | 17:05 |
| magicianlord | also, why does the same installation show as 1.9gb on one pc and 2.1 gb on another | 17:05 |
| erUSUL | YamatoPotter: install build-essential package | 17:05 |
| cynical | geekahedron: or doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure compiz from a terminal | 17:06 |
| econdudeawesome | YamatoPotter: that works too | 17:06 |
| cynical | geekahedron: and restarting it | 17:06 |
| WeThePeople | edudeawesome, thx for the recommendation, it is definitely runnin faster | 17:06 |
| YamatoPotter | no no .. GCC .. the compiler .. | 17:06 |
| joshb | how can i get sound in order with the gstreamer stuff ? | 17:06 |
| drc | Saik: if you get good answer(s) there, let me/us know, I'd be interested to know | 17:06 |
| econdudeawesome | WeThePeople: I was amazed the first time. Also: you can type a couple of letters and <tab> to get the rest of someones name | 17:06 |
| Saik | drc:I'm goona look over the site first :P | 17:06 |
| itaylor57 | YamatoPotter: you need to install build-essentials | 17:06 |
| drc | Saik: Calibre's site? | 17:06 |
| Kranix | I think I accidentally hit some keyboard shortcut that seems to have reversed my colors... | 17:07 |
| joshb | i got a list of 10+ packages i should install so that it might work, but half isn't even on the package manager list... | 17:07 |
| Saik | drc: yes | 17:07 |
| econdudeawesome | YamatoPotter: It usually comes default in Ubuntu installations, and is invoked in the command line | 17:07 |
| mamece2 | erusul remember i cannot get to GUI | 17:07 |
| Kranix | How to revert it? | 17:07 |
| ruan | Kranix: Windows key + M | 17:07 |
| Kranix | Great, worked. | 17:07 |
| WeThePeople | econdudeawesome, thx again | 17:07 |
| GeekMan | question why is it that if you type yes in the command line its does the letter y infinatly | 17:07 |
| ruan | i did that out of curiosity if it did the same thing as windows | 17:07 |
| erUSUL | mamece2: how did you updated RythmBox? | 17:07 |
| erUSUL | GeekMan: becvouse yes is a command that does just that | 17:07 |
| econdudeawesome | WeThePeople: not a prob. Glad to be of help. Lubuntu is also nice because most hotkeys line up with windows (i.e. win+e opens file manager and the like) | 17:07 |
| erUSUL | GeekMan: it prints y or whatever char you pass it over and over again | 17:08 |
| GeekMan | so its if you have to say yes alot | 17:08 |
| erUSUL | GeekMan: "man yes" | 17:08 |
| nicobn | I'm using Record My Desktop to do a screencast, but the sound is not aligned with the video, how can I fix this ? | 17:08 |
| econdudeawesome | erUSUL: GeekMan: lol | 17:08 |
| GeekMan | what about no theres no no | 17:08 |
| erUSUL | GeekMan: you do « yes n » | 17:09 |
| GeekMan | ahhhhhhh | 17:09 |
| GeekMan | cool | 17:09 |
| erUSUL | it was for ununtended upgrades and the like? do you want to do this (y/n)? do you *really* want to do this (y/n)? this your last chance do you *REALLY* want to do this (y/n)? ... | 17:10 |
| cynical | WeThePeople: go here and read up on swappiness, that may help you, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 17:11 |
| ruan | whats the use of swap if enough ram is available? | 17:12 |
| speed_ | i cant upgrade to 10.10. it says there is a pakage maniger open | 17:12 |

| GeekMan | GEEKMAN AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY | 17:13 |
| erUSUL | mamece2: really dunno; i asked how did you updated RythmBox; because you say the problem ocurred after that event | 17:13 |
| speed_ | there is no other windows open | 17:13 |
| ShakeyJake | r | 17:13 |
| econdudeawesome | ruan: sometimes not enough RAM is available | 17:13 |
| cynical | ruan: depends on your usage, if you never get close to the max amount available then it isn't very useful | 17:13 |
| ruan | speed_: you can try a reboot | 17:13 |
| speed_ | k | 17:13 |
| econdudeawesome | ruan: BUt I run a netbook with 2GB of RAM and have never got around to actually finishing setting up a swap folder (doesn't just have to be a partition) and I rarely wish I had finished | 17:14 |
| erUSUL | xocolatl: sometimes pulseaudio dies. run « start-pulseaudio-x11 » in alt + f2 | 17:14 |
| mamece2 | erusul i dont remember :( i just tryed some command and the pc slowed down, and i was not able to turn it off or reboot, so i forced it and turn it off | 17:14 |
| speed_ | rebootion | 17:14 |
| erUSUL | mamece2: you do not remember the command? | 17:14 |
| speed_ | 9im using a seperate computer to irc | 17:14 |
| mamece2 | erusul i just google it and put the first command i saw, let me check | 17:14 |
| xocolatl | erUSUL: no, that didn't change anything. any other ideas? | 17:14 |
| erUSUL | mamece2: :S | 17:15 |
| ruan | econdudeawesome: i have 3gb of ram and i have yet to find a program that utilises it all | 17:15 |
| cynical | xocolatl: are you getting any errors? or running a particular app when it happens? | 17:15 |
| econdudeawesome | ruan: Matlab with a 200x2000x50 matrix would fill it up I believe | 17:15 |
| erUSUL | xocolatl: dmesg | tail -n25 » does not shed any light either? | 17:15 |
| ruan | econdudeawesome: lol | 17:15 |
| erUSUL | !info octave | 17:15 |
| ubottu | Package octave does not exist in maverick | 17:15 |
| cynical | ruan: I have a lot of ram as well but sometimes things can get crazy, like when I use a lot of tabs and load some flash videos in firefox I can get 600+ mb of memory usage from that alone lol | 17:15 |

| terry | mamece2: Did you try looking at history? | 17:16 |
| mamece2 | terry how can i ? | 17:17 |
| terry | mamece2: history | 17:17 |
| erUSUL | if he force rebooted history may be lost but worth a try | 17:17 |
| xocolatl | erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/LknimPpb | 17:17 |
| terry | mamece2: Open a terminal and type "history" (without quotes), and hit enter. | 17:17 |
| mamece2 | terry theres a lot of lines, how can i make it page by page? | 17:18 |
| xocolatl | erUSUL: I don't know what any of that means :( | 17:18 |
| econdudeawesome | history should be preserved after reboot. Usually is for me | 17:18 |
| mamece2 | terry open terminal? I CANT GET INTO GUI , i just got CLI | 17:18 |
| terry | mamece2: Hold the shift key and hit Page Up. | 17:18 |

| econdudeawesome | mamece2: ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 opens up a TTY shell and allows you to look at stuff | 17:19 |
| erUSUL | xocolatl: nothing related to sound | 17:19 |
| econdudeawesome | mamece2: and you can switch between different shells as needed. Technically not terminal, but in name only | 17:19 |
| xocolatl | erUSUL: any other ideas to try before I reboot to get sound back? | 17:20 |
| cynical | xocolatl: tryoing sudo service pulseaudio restart | 17:20 |
| cynical | xocolatl: try doing* | 17:20 |
| econdudeawesome | cynical: can that also be controlled through alsamixer? | 17:20 |

| erUSUL | mman: like, no root found,. or give up waiting for root or something like that ( no init found ) | 17:24 |
| ruan | mamece2: small suggestion, but you spelt rhythmbox wrong | 17:25 |

| mman | erUSUL, yes, but it gets too fast and get to the same point | 17:36 |
| SpudDogg | Code_Bleu: meaning the machine is physically here, has a local IP, but also is on work's domain | 17:36 |
| SpudDogg | err VPN | 17:36 |
| NooBoontoo | Is there a way to find out what my IP number is? | 17:37 |

I have a 3ware 9650SE RAID card, and this presented a challenge when I originally loaded 6.04 (years ago) and now I am having trouble again. From a clean install, it gets to "grub is loading please wait..." or whatever, and no further. | 17:38 |
| SpudDogg | Code_Bleu: think i have it | 17:38 |
| SpudDogg | Code_Bleu: one sec | 17:38 |
| jsw_ | Also the installer formatted my /home partition even though I unchecked the "format" box for that partition, which was an unpleasant surprise :( But I did make a backup first. | 17:39 |
| NooBoontoo | mman thx | 17:39 |
| Code_Bleu | SpudDogg: Get it working? | 17:39 |

| Starminn | pratik_narain: What happens when you try? | 17:44 |
| ruan | pratik_narain: is it set in BIOS to boot first? | 17:44 |
| ikonia | induz: you can run KDE applications on gnome, but if it's one for manilpulating KDE components, it may not be the best platform | 17:45 |
| ikonia | induz: you'll need the KDE core components installed, but you can run them from gnome | 17:45 |

| jsw_ | ikon:I read ;) Any pointers to issues with boot loader not .. finding any kernels .. when installing 10.10 onto 3ware RAID card? | 17:45 |
| ikonia | jsw_: sorry what ? | 17:45 |
| ruan | lol | 17:45 |
| andreylosev | I have a question about themes: what is the window manager/gtk theme in this screenshot? http://static.arstechnica.net/ff4b11/adtrackoptout.png | 17:45 |
| NooBoontoo | drc, I was using Firefox, but I'll try wget | 17:46 |
| drc | NooBoontoo: wait | 17:46 |
| pratik_narain | actually I see the boot menu and whether I select try without installing or install ubuntu, I get only blank screen with a blinking cursor and no dvd drive activity. | 17:46 |
| ikonia | andreylosev: look into gnome-look.org | 17:46 |
| NooBoontoo | drc, yes? | 17:46 |
| pratik_narain | same dvd is bootable in my laptop | 17:46 |
| jsw_ | I am trying to install 10.10 onto my machine and so far it's not going well. I have a 3ware 9650SE RAID card. It took me quite a while to figure out how to get this to work with ubuntu 6.04 when I first bought the machine | 17:46 |
| andreylosev | ikonia, but they won't be able to identify it from a screenshot | 17:46 |
| ikonia | andreylosev: neither can we, | 17:47 |
| mamece2 | erusul lol the same problem, now is a graphics problem, the system is starting in low graphics mode | 17:47 |
| induz | ikonia, i installed kdenlive few days back now i dont see it on my application | 17:47 |
| ikonia | jsw_: ok, so lets step back a little, what mode do you have the 3ware in | 17:47 |
| jsw_ | ikonia, so if you have a pointer to a troubleshooting guide I'll gladly RTFM :) | 17:47 |
| ikonia | induz: it won't be on your applications menu | 17:47 |
| andreylosev | oh well | 17:47 |
| ikonia | jsw_: easy on the language please. | 17:47 |
| ikonia | induz: your menu is "gnome" you've just installed a KDE application, that package won't have a gnome menu | 17:47 |
| itaylor57 | induz: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list I believe your problem is you have debian distros listed there | 17:47 |
| drc | NooBoontoo: in Firefox, in the Save As box, at the bottom there is a Web Page, Complete option...that must be showing to save the images and such | 17:48 |
| mamece2 | erusul it just stays there, in the line called starting virtualvox kernel module,,, just there, and it does nothing | 17:48 |
| induz | i mean application...sound and video | 17:48 |
| jsw_ | mode? I don't know what you mean. It presents /dev/sda and /dev/sdb to the OS, sda is 2GB (this was needed for 6.04 to work) and I tried to make a 400M /boot and a 1600M /. sdb is 2TB and has /usr /var /home on it. | 17:48 |
| erUSUL | mamece2: :S the upgrade was without errors? | 17:48 |
| XLV | jsw_, so you dont use its raid capabilities at all.... | 17:48 |
| drc | NooBoontoo: If it says Web Page, HTML only...no images will be grabbed | 17:48 |
| mamece2 | i feel a lil bt dissapointed about ubuntu, recovery modes doesnt recover anything.. | 17:48 |
| ikonia | jsw_: are you using the card as a jbod or in a hardware raid configuration | 17:49 |
| ikonia | mamece2: if gives you the capabilities to recover issues, it doesn't recover for you | 17:49 |
| jsw_ | XLV:Oh, it's a four disk RAID 5, I used the carving to create the 2GB LUN | 17:49 |
| gimpy4685 | I installed icecat but no add-ons are working. Every time it starts, it asks to install one, but never does. When I added another, it always claims I need to restart icecat for the changes to take affect, and they never do. What am I doing wrong? | 17:49 |
| ikonia | jsw_: ok, so where is the problem/error message ? | 17:49 |
| mamece2 | erusul failed to fetch something ...binary-i386/packages.gz | 17:49 |
| cynical | mamece2: the point of recovery mode is not to fix stuff for you it is just to get you to a terminal to be able to fix your problems | 17:50 |
| induz | itaylor57, here:http://paste.ubuntu.com/569267/ | 17:50 |
| jsw_ | ikonia, doing a fresh 10.10 install, everything seems to go smoothly, except when I reboot it hangs at "grub is loading please wait ...." or similar message. This is right after the line indicating it ran GRUB 1.5. | 17:50 |
| ikonia | induz: why do you have karmic and lucid repos enabled | 17:51 |
| induz | ikonia, I upgraded from karmic from a CD | 17:51 |
| liminal | hello | 17:51 |
| jsw_ | I don't honestly know if GRUB 1.5 is the bootloader that 10.10 installed, or it could even be the OLD 6.04 boot loader's boot sector but can't find the rest of itself | 17:51 |
| ikonia | jsw_: ok, do you have any other disks in your system other than the ones connected to the 3ware | 17:51 |
| ikonia | induz: so ? | 17:51 |
| feyd | how do I install gdm themes in maverick? I'm assuming there's just a directory | 17:51 |
| tuzlo | Has anyone had any success in connecting an Iphone to Ubuntu? | 17:51 |
| liminal | I need to view a website as if im using IE from within ubuntu | 17:51 |
| NooBoontoo | drc: Save this page as...> it gies me 4 options: The whole page, Page just HTML, text files, and ALL files, I always choose the whole page, but when I try to browse them offline sometimes I can only see text and no pictures, I have to go to the folders of that html file to see them | 17:51 |
| liminal | I dont want to use win | 17:51 |
| ruan | jsw_: GRUB 1.5 is old | 17:51 |
| liminal | wine | 17:51 |
| induz | ikonia, i have doen nothing to my /etc/apt/source list | 17:51 |
| liminal | are there any other options? | 17:51 |
| cynical | jsw_: 10.10 uses grub2 | 17:51 |
| ikonia | induz: that will create conflict | 17:52 |
| ruan | above^ | 17:52 |
| jsw_ | ikonia, yes, I also have an SSD that the installer sees as /dev/sdc, and a DVD-R drive I'm using to install | 17:52 |
| induz | but I have this kdenlive running and i editited few videos | 17:52 |
| drc | NooBoontoo: ok...let me try something | 17:52 |
| campee | does anyone have any suggestions on how i can get ubuntu 10.04 to boot off a 6TB RAID 5 disk? | 17:52 |
| ikonia | induz: I would not trust the stability of your system at this point | 17:52 |
| induz | ikonia, i get some errors when i update but i dont know what to keep on source files | 17:52 |
| ikonia | campee: you need to use gpt partition tables | 17:52 |
| jsw_ | okay, so probably 10.10's boot loader is not even being read, the BIOS is running the old boot loader, and I did not even get the new one in the right place? | 17:52 |
| campee | ikonia: i don't think my computer can boot off GPT partition tables though :( | 17:52 |

| induz | ikonia, is there any clean source file I can upgrade to | 17:53 |
| campee | ikonia: i keep getting a grub rescue menu after installation completes | 17:53 |
| === sandstrom_ is now known as sandstrom | ||
| ikonia | campee: you need to boot from a smaller disk then | 17:53 |
| campee | there's no workaround? | 17:53 |
| ikonia | induz: no, changing the sources won't matter at this point, I would do a clean install as I don't trust your system | 17:53 |
| nicobn | /win 2 | 17:53 |
| ikonia | jsw_: which device is the actual boot device ? | 17:53 |
| cynical | jsw_: yeah that's what it sounds like to me, imo try a new install and at the end before rebooting do a grub-install from a terminal | 17:53 |
| drc | NooBoontoo: what version of Firefox? | 17:53 |
| NooBoontoo | drc I even try WebHttrack Website Copier, but it only happens with some pages, I was copying the Luxrender.net wiki page butu did not worked | 17:54 |
| jsw_ | ikonia:the 3ware card's BIOS boots .. something .. I honestly couldn't figure out which partition's boot sector it is reading | 17:54 |
| ruan | you could do a grub reinstall though | 17:54 |
| cynical | jsw_: or chroot from a livecd | 17:54 |
| cynical | jsw_: and do it there | 17:54 |
| induz | ikonia, what you mean by 'Trust'...is it going to disappear like my kdenlive | 17:54 |
| ikonia | jsw_: what about the motherboards bios, what does it say is the boot device | 17:54 |
| NooBoontoo | drc Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13 | 17:54 |
| induz | I dont know how to get back to kdenlive as i have master edit on that | 17:54 |
| jsw_ | ikonia:It recognizes the RAID controller and lets me choose it in the boot priority list, which I have done | 17:54 |
| ikonia | induz: your system has mixed repos, I would class your system as unstable | 17:55 |
| ikonia | jsw_: do a test, try to boot of the SSD, do you get the grub error then / | 17:55 |
| induz | how can i correct repos? | 17:55 |
| ikonia | induz: you can't | 17:55 |
| jsw_ | I suppose I'd need to install grub onto the SSD but I suppose I can do that | 17:55 |
| patriot | hey my laptops headphone jack is not detected...1 can any 1 help | 17:55 |
| induz | I dont have a copy of lucid as i upgraded it from karmic | 17:55 |
| chrislu5tic | . | 17:55 |
| jsw_ | What does the "stage 1.5 loading" (or similar) message mean GRUB is doing, looking in a filesystem for the rest of its program? | 17:55 |
| ikonia | jsw_: not yet, run the test, lets work this out | 17:56 |
| XLV | jsw_, if its a raid5 array, it probably writes the mbr to all hdds ( so if you lose one hdd and if it wrote mbr to only one hdd and that was the hdd that was dead ) you wouldnt be able to boot from the raid array.. so i guess it writes mbr to all hdds of the array | 17:56 |
| induz | I had a big deal of problem to get my Dell usn wireless working | 17:56 |
| ikonia | jsw_: its looking for the state files to start the boot | 17:56 |
| ikonia | induz: that doesn't change what I've said | 17:56 |
| jsw_ | ikonia, so if in fact it is booting the "old grub," those files are no longer there since I formatted /dev/sda1 (/boot) right? | 17:56 |
| ikonia | jsw_: that's why it's not working then | 17:57 |
| cynical | jsw_: yes, which is why you should reinstall grub to the mbr | 17:57 |
| induz | ikonia, why there are 2 files on /etc/apt source [1] source.list [2] source.list.save | 17:57 |
| ruan | cant remember the command, but it was something like sudo apt-get reinstall-grub2 | 17:57 |
| ikonia | induz: I don't know | 17:57 |
| drc | NooBoontoo: and it only happens with <some> website pages (like the manual you referenced earlier)? | 17:57 |
| jsw_ | cynical:I tried to do that the first time, but I may have made a mistake. We'll see what happens this install :) | 17:57 |
| patriot | my laptops headphone jack is not detected...please help me out | 17:58 |
| ikonia | ruan: it's nothing like that | 17:58 |
| ikonia | !grub > jsw_ | 17:58 |

| ruan | lol | 17:58 |
| cynical | jsw_: ok, report back what happens :) | 17:58 |
| ruan | not sure if it sent the second one | 17:58 |
| NooBoontoo | drc, no, with the Luxrender Wiki pages | 17:58 |
| ikonia | ruan: it did | 17:58 |
| ruan | ah ok | 17:58 |
| induz | if I upgrade to 10.10, do i have to all the installed programme again?? | 17:58 |

| esnip | does any one know how to mount a XENIX disk on linux? | 17:59 |
| ruan | induz: upgrading doesn't delete any programs | 17:59 |
| ikonia | induz: upgrading will not make you system stable | 17:59 |

| NooBoontoo | drc http://www.luxrender.net/wiki/Main_Page | 17:59 |

| ikonia | induz: it's better to use KDE application in a KDE environment, but it is possible to use them under gnome | 18:00 |
| induz | how can i run KDE beside Gnome? | 18:00 |
| ikonia | induz: you install the KDE desktop environment, and then select which one you want to use BEFORE you login | 18:00 |
| ikonia | induz: however I would advise you to do a clean install to get you system to a known "ok" state | 18:01 |

| patriot | any 1 please help me out... audio jack is not working in ubuntu | 18:02 |
| ikonia | needlez: you've deleted a file it needs, re-install chromium | 18:03 |
| ruan | needlez: set firefox as default browser | 18:03 |
| ikonia | aroman: can't really as you need a graphical environment to manipulate the gnome "registery" | 18:03 |
| ruan | needlez: firefox > preferences > advanced > check if firefox is default browser(check now) | 18:03 |
| JetBoyJetGirl | what's the best way to paste code from a webpage into vim? | 18:03 |
| needlez | ikonia: I dont wanna use chromium, i wish to have it set firefox, firefox is default browser but it still isnt recognizing it in here | 18:03 |
| aroman | ikonia: "graphical environment"? You mean flip some gconf switches? | 18:03 |
| drc | NooBoontoo: Oh...you download the webpage, go offline, open the webpage you downloaded in the browser and try to clink on a link on webpage? | 18:03 |
| dury | hi there channel :) | 18:03 |
| ikonia | aroman: pretty much, point it at the right files etc, tools like gconf2 | 18:04 |
| JetBoyJetGirl | i'm using the middle mouse button but somehow its not pasting what I've highlighted | 18:04 |
| aroman | ikonia: right, then i can do it via CLI | 18:04 |
| ikonia | aroman: great | 18:04 |
| ruan | ctrl c ctrl v is what i use | 18:04 |
| aroman | ikonia: any idea where those keys are? | 18:04 |
| ikonia | aroman: nope, | 18:04 |

| dury | what about drivers | 18:06 |
| makaveli0129 | ikonia: it's a lorex i can't find it no where?? | 18:06 |

| mamece2 | when i try sudo apt-get update theres a error, failed to fetch http://ppa... /binary-i386/packages.gz | 18:07 |
| drc | NooBoontoo: ok, now I understand | 18:07 |
| ruan | dury: ubuntu finds the correct drivers | 18:07 |
| ikonia | aroman: I don't believe all the data is in that one part, I thought (could be wrong) there are 2 / 3 more | 18:07 |
| ruan | dury: i didnt even have to insert my driver disc compared to windows.. | 18:07 |

| makaveli0129 | ikonia: its a lorex qlr460 4 channel but can't find the chipset anywhere... | 18:07 |
| ikonia | mamece2: that PPA is dead | 18:08 |
| cynical | dury: you can check here for info on specific hardware, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 18:08 |
| Starminn | dury: You mean driver support between Windows/Linux? I hear a lot less problems with Linux driver detection than the hours spent searching for drivers for Windows. Ubuntu 10.10 picked up every single thing on my system first time, no configuring anything. | 18:08 |
| needlez | dury: ubuntu has a one fits all kinda solution for drivers, it finds the hardware out of box | 18:08 |

| cynical | dury: Linux is great on old computers, although if the specs are really low I would recommend a distro other than ubuntu | 18:09 |
| makaveli0129 | patriot: has your sound ever worked and is the driver installed? | 18:09 |
| needlez | patriot: do you have sound thru your regular speakers?? | 18:09 |
| patriot | please reply me | 18:09 |
| Starminn | cynical, dury: Not necessarily. There's Xubuntu or Lubuntu which is even lighter. | 18:10 |
| cynical | starminn: those are other distros | 18:10 |
| patriot | yes @needlez | 18:10 |
| ruan | dury: another thing of note is that linux causes no fragmentation on hard drives | 18:10 |
| cynical | ruan: it can cause fragmentation but it is generally minimal | 18:10 |
| ruan | cynical: yeah | 18:11 |
| Starminn | cynical: It was my understanding those would be called "derivatives/variations"? *shrug* If not I guess I heard wrong. | 18:11 |
| dury | what about other distros comparing ubuntu | 18:11 |
| trackstar | Hi all. I just bought an LCD tv and hooked it up to my pc via the onboard hdmi port. When I boot my PC up, it displays fine until I get to grub then the display cuts out. I can't seem to get ubuntu to recognize the TV. any tips please? | 18:11 |
| Starminn | dury: Try 'em out and see. :) | 18:11 |
| patriot | needlez: my laptop speakers are wrkin fine but audio jack is problem | 18:12 |
| cynical | Starminn: No you are absolutely correct, but they can be both variations/derivatives and still be separate distributions | 18:12 |

| dury | fedora, slackware, gentoo | 18:12 |
| Starminn | dury: The other main distros are Fedora, OpenSUSE, Mandriva, and Debian (sorry if I've missed one) | 18:12 |
| cynical | ruan: yeah | 18:12 |
| dury | lots of distros | 18:12 |
| tuzlo | cynical theres about 10 files there, do I only need libimobiledevice? | 18:12 |
| ruan | most downloads, etc? | 18:12 |
| mkanyicy | ruan, what do you mean by 'main'? | 18:13 |
| needlez | ruan: ubuntu is based off of debian | 18:13 |
| cynical | ruan: http://www.distrowatch.org | 18:13 |
| mkanyicy | ruan, check distrowatch | 18:13 |
| Starminn | dury: Down a bit on the right side: http://distrowatch.com/ | 18:13 |

| patriot | needlez: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 18:14 |
| needlez | makaveli0129: it would be in lspci if pci , if usb lsusb. | 18:14 |
| cynical | tuzlo: If you add the repo and do an upgrade it will only change the packages that you have in common with the repo, which judging by the files there will only be ipod/iphone related stuff | 18:14 |
| itaylor57 | dury: also camp out in those other distros help rooms and compare the support available | 18:14 |
| makaveli0129 | thank you needles | 18:14 |
| tuzlo | Im not sure how to add the re[pository | 18:14 |
| needlez | patriot: that looks like it only showing one audio controller, so either it doesn't work because no drivers are developed or installed for it, or it could be broken. I'd say just no drivers tho | 18:15 |

| cynical | tuzlo: you can also use sudo ppa-purge in the future to remove the repo, or just do it from the graphical interface if you no longer need it later (like when upgrading to the next version of ubuntu for example) | 18:16 |

I tried chown myuser folder and then tried to fiddle with the permission options in nautilus but it insists roots is the owner and it wont let me change permission because as soon as I change them they revert .... what to do? | 18:16 |
| needlez | patriot what is the exact make and model of your laptop?? post it in the pm i sent you | 18:16 |

| coz_ | mamece2, what is the "standard grahics" card in that system | 18:32 |

| Cameron_ | codemagician: you could assign a label, but just a heads up, you might find in the future that it's nice to have a drive named by UUID rather than a name that could be the same as any other disk | 18:40 |

| mamece2 | cynical done, then wat | 18:52 |
| Senjai | drc, and the other one is recovery, OS is my windows partition, | 18:52 |
| codemagician | exutux, what it be better to keep this label lowercase | 18:52 |
| drc | Senjai: right | 18:52 |
| Senjai | drc ext4 is my ubuntu, which i Will be cutting into windows for | 18:52 |
| mkanyicy | lasko, can you do a 'ls -lhd dirname' ? | 18:52 |
| Senjai | drc, so the extended partition is for the windows SWAP? | 18:52 |

| cynical | mamece2: I use ati, wasn't aware of how many nvidia driver files there were :\ | 18:54 |

| Yerushalmi | It won't let me alt-anything, in fact. Alt-F4 doesn't work either. Alt-letters still work with opening menus, though | 18:56 |
| asmerkin | when i log in into windows 7 then this breaks grub2 | 18:56 |

| mongy | Senjai, a byproduct of having 3 primary partitions already | 18:56 |
| mongy | Senjai, cant have more than 4. | 18:57 |
| mkanyicy | lasko, thas definitely it | 18:57 |
| cynical | mamece2: is that from sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-modaliases ? | 18:57 |

| Whitor | hi all, I'm on 10.04 64bit. I'm having small issues with video playback. a youtube video plays fine at its normal size, but if I make it full screen, I get maybe 3 frames a second. maybe less. It is really choppy. This happens for any video played at full screen. I am wondering if the 32bit version might work any better. This is on a thinkpag T510 with an nvidia nvs-3100 video card | 20:08 |
| Jezzz | CarlFK, thank you | 20:08 |
| mongy | spaceninja, yeah I have heard its a problem with USC... I use apt-get | 20:08 |

| XeCrypt | somebody familar with casper and could tell me what could be the cause if the boot is deadslow (~7 mins) .. and almost all the time you hear the drive reading like crazy.. cause it seems to seek the file across the whole disc. I am using squashfs for the compressed fs and an AUFS-captable kernel (2.6.36.2) with integrated initramfs. | 20:11 |
| XeCrypt | I was thinking maybe theres a index-file which stores the location of the files inside the squashfs?! | 20:11 |
| ThinkT510 | Whitor: fullscreen video with vlc works fine for me though | 20:12 |
| cynical | whitor: are you using the proprietary drivers? | 20:12 |
| KXTwo | I have a blackberry curve 8830 I am not seeing desktop manager for linux on the bb website, is there anyway I can back up my phone via ubuntu or am I goingm to have to use windows | 20:12 |

| middle | OK, i have a weird issue, and i think i know a soultion, but i stilll need some help | 20:13 |
| _Alex__ | what is it, middle | 20:14 |

| vale | i'll take a look | 20:14 |
| vale | thank you! | 20:14 |
| ChogyDan | dougl: basically, yeah. The more free a driver is, the better support it gets | 20:14 |
| ChogyDan | and those are %100 free | 20:14 |
| middle | When i boot Ubuntu 10.10 i get to the loading screen then when it goes to the login prompt, it blackscreens. I had this issue whilst trying to install Arch, i overcame it by adding 'nomodeset' to the end of the grub menu... but i can't seem to do that here. ANy suggestions? | 20:14 |
| Dr_Willis | If the hardware maker supplies the proper specs at least. :0 dosent do much good to be 'free' if its lacking in the core features | 20:15 |
| induz_ | how can i get .mov quicktime files from avi files | 20:15 |
| middle | Oh i also had this issue prior to arch, (thats why i tried arch) | 20:15 |
| ChogyDan | dougl: but I don't know about specifics for each camera | 20:15 |
| Dr_Willis | middle: you can add nomemtest to the default options, or hit 'e' and edit the grub boot line and add it there. | 20:15 |
| svelte | hey can someone help me out? my grub2 failed yesterday so I reinstalled with the a livecd per the instructions on ubuntu.org, and now the grub terminal loads but I don't know where to go from there | 20:15 |

| middle | nosplash quiet | 20:16 |
| middle | gotchay | 20:16 |
| middle | brb | 20:16 |
| Dr_Willis | induz_: its all about the actual codec used. not always the extension. | 20:16 |
| FloodBot1 | middle: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:16 |
| Dr_Willis | middle: replaceing nosplash quiet - will also disable plymouth that often has issues with the drivers.. | 20:16 |

| Chikokishi | I cant get my sound to work on 10.10, it worked fine a couple days ago and it works in my "guest" account. But not my Admin account | 20:17 |
| Dr_Willis | induz_: a .avi 'format' could be any of several dozen+ codecs.. try converting them to somthing else with ffmpeg/mencoder | 20:17 |
| middle | Dr_WIllis: At the moment, i have linux /boot/vmliz... ro quiet splash | 20:17 |
| middle | should i replace quiet splash with nomodeset? | 20:17 |
| Dr_Willis | middle: thats is what i do | 20:17 |
| Whitor | induz, sorry, just: http://www.openshot.org/ | 20:17 |
| middle | cool | 20:18 |

| Dr_Willis | middle: /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/ have the configs to edit. then rerun update-grub | 20:28 |
| induz_ | Dr_Willis, where can i find winff??? | 20:28 |
| induz_ | Dr_Willis, on my system | 20:28 |
| Dr_Willis | middle: read teh grub2 wiki pages. | 20:28 |

| arrrghhh | my dad uses ubuntu and makes it sound like he got hacked | 20:28 |

| induz_ | Dr_Willis, there is application, Places, system.... | 20:29 |
| Chikokishi | So my ubuntu just did a random "Partial update" and fixed my sound. How would i initiate that on my own? | 20:30 |
| mman | erUSUL, i did what you said, but still get the same in initramfs | 20:30 |
| _Alex__ | induz_: Lol, how long do you use Gnome? not long i see | 20:30 |
| eLvis | BLALBALA | 20:30 |
| geirha | arrrghhh: If he has enabled vnc without requiring password or prompt for confirmation, he likely has been. | 20:30 |

| induz_ | _Alex__, i just started | 20:30 |
| arrrghhh | geirha, but how is that open on the LAN? | 20:30 |
| Chikokishi | So my ubuntu just did a random "Partial update" and fixed my sound. How would i initiate that on my own? | 20:31 |
| Diverdude | when setting up wan on lan, i go to bios to enable the wake on lan feature. Do i also have to specify somewhere how long idle time before shutdown? | 20:31 |
| Dr_Willis | induz_: so go down each menu item.. i would guess that the logical place would be uin the 'sound and video' subm,enu,, | 20:31 |
| Pulsar580 | Good evening everyone ! | 20:31 |
| induz_ | how can i run winff in accordenace with cinerella | 20:31 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | 20:31 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 20:31 |
| geirha | arrrghhh: upnp | 20:31 |
| Dr_Willis | induz_: it has nothing to do with cinerella.. you use winff to convert video to whatver format you need. | 20:31 |
| arrrghhh | geirha, what? | 20:31 |
| linuxrocks | Hi, just installed Ubuntu 10.10. When starting the Update manager it doesn't recognise the password I use for root | 20:31 |
| mman | have problems during boot, get the initramfs can any body help me? | 20:31 |
| mkanyicy | induz_, what do you want to achieve? | 20:31 |
| geirha | arrrghhh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upnp | 20:31 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxrocks: you mean you initial users password? there is no root password by default | 20:32 |
| arrrghhh | geirha, i know how upnp works, i didn't think that's how remote desktop worked | 20:32 |
| middle | Dr_WIlis: IS there naythign else i can do? | 20:32 |
| arrrghhh | it says only local access when you enable it | 20:32 |
| mkanyicy | middle, read ALL of this: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html | 20:32 |
| Dr_Willis | middle: check the wiki/forums for your exact chipset. I got 1 ati system.. | 20:32 |
| raven | how to display all images in a also in subfolders? | 20:32 |
| middle | cool | 20:32 |
| linuxrocks | Dr_Willis: I start Synaptic Package Manager and it asks for an administrative password. I enter my one (the one I also use for sudo) but it doesn't recognise it | 20:32 |
| induz_ | Dr_Willis, asper s/w Synaptec manager winff is installed but I dont see it under sound/video sub menu | 20:32 |
| linuxrocks | Dr_Willis: However sudo apt-get install from command line works fine | 20:33 |
| Jezzz | so i've burned an iso image to cd, but ubuntu says disc is still blank. Do i need to finalize or something? | 20:33 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxrocks: you could try 'sudo -s' then try runnign synaptic. or just use apt-get from the command line. | 20:33 |
| Dr_Willis | induz_: run winff from a terminal then. who needs icons | 20:33 |
| geirha | arrrghhh: Well, depends on the router supporting it or not. | 20:33 |
| mman | how to get rid of initramfs | 20:33 |
| arrrghhh | geirha, so you're saying he had remote desktop enabled without a password, (highly likely) and his router had upnp enabled, which automatically enabled remote desktop to the outside world? | 20:33 |
| linuxrocks | Dr_Willis: I will try sudo -s because I don't know the exact package name, that's why I wanted to use Synaptic | 20:34 |
| arrrghhh | l | 20:34 |
| geirha | arrrghhh: It's not enabled by default, so he must've enabled it himself if that would be the case. | 20:34 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxrocks: a user can use synaptic and search for things.. or you can use 'apt-cache search PATTERN' | 20:34 |
| _Alex__ | induz_:I dont know about ubuntu, but in Debian, sometimes not all is displayed and System > Preferences > Main menu corrects that | 20:34 |
| arrrghhh | geirha, but remote desktop doesn't open ports thru upnp on the router by default does it? | 20:34 |
| needlez | ok, hi, my wireless just got up and walked away, yes it was working before, i was trying to do the maxim patch for channel negative one and now have no wireless can someone help get my wireless back?? | 20:34 |

| linuxrocks | Dr_Willis: sudo -s works fine. Running synaptic as myself it asks for a password to save in the keyring. Is this something new in 10.10? Didn't experience this in 10.04 | 20:35 |
| induz_ | Dr_Willis, I got winff running now from command line | 20:35 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxrocks: its asking for a keyring password perhaps? | 20:35 |
| mkanyicy | Jezzz, inst it finalized already? | 20:35 |
| induz_ | its a codec converter | 20:35 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxrocks: i never nituced synaptuic using the keyring. | 20:35 |
| linuxrocks | Dr_Willis: I haven't setup one | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | induz_: yes.. thats what we have been saying.. iot converts vuideos. | 20:36 |
| Diverdude | when setting up wan on lan, i go to bios to enable the wake on lan feature. Do i also have to specify somewhere how long idle time before shutdown? | 20:36 |
| linuxrocks | Dr_Willis: At least that I know of. How would I find out about keyring passowrd? | 20:36 |
| _Neytiri_ | i have a question what would cause mount -a to take up 100% if the cpu | 20:36 |
| Jezzz | mkanyicy, it won't boot, so I booted ubuntu to check and it still shows as a blank disc. but with 150MB less space | 20:36 |
| linuxrocks | Dr_Willis: s/passowrd/password | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxrocks: I dont think synaptic uses the keyring. and the keyring pass is whatever you set it to. if you just use blank. it wull use unsafe storage. | 20:36 |
| Jezzz | mkanyicy, so I know the data is on disc. seems like it's not finalized or something. | 20:36 |
| needlez | hello anyone? | 20:36 |
| induz_ | Dr_Willis, now the Q is how can i integrate it with cinerelaa | 20:37 |
| geirha | arrrghhh: I don't know if it logs anything. Maybe ~/.xsession-errors, but that one is overwritten each time you log in. | 20:37 |
| mkanyicy | Jezzz, so you burned ubuntu on that cd? | 20:37 |
| Jezzz | i burned a clonezilla iso | 20:37 |
| induz_ | or cinerella is like FCPro with its codecs | 20:37 |
| mamece2 | i cant boot ubuntu 10.04 32 bit. ctrl+alt+F7 brings tht modprobe vboxfailed | 20:37 |
| Jezzz | trying to image my ubuntu box | 20:37 |
| mkanyicy | Jezzz, did you burn another cd? | 20:37 |
| Jezzz | mkanyicy, no. Just 1 cd drive in this machine | 20:37 |
| middle | In my frub menu i have linux twice, linux recovery twice, then memtest... HOw comes i have it twice and could that be the issue? | 20:38 |
| mkanyicy | Jezzz, i mean did you try to burn the iso image one more time? | 20:38 |
| joth | I just tried to upgrade the kernel on Maverick, and now my laptop won't boot up; it says there's a problem with /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 - can anyone help please? | 20:38 |

| Jezzz | mkanyicy, ok. thanks. | 20:39 |
| Dr_Willis | induz_: you dont.. you covnert the viudeo to a format cineralla can handle.. if cineralla cant handle the video in its current format | 20:39 |

| mkanyicy | needlez, what device do you have? | 20:40 |

| andresmh | has anyone upgraded from Vista to Win 7 on a dual-boot system? I just want to know if doing that would mess up with my Ubuntu. I posted my full question here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/27155/ | 20:41 |
| raven | how to display all images also in subfolders? | 20:42 |
| Dr_Willis | andresmh: it pays to know how to restore your grub when messign with eindows | 20:42 |
| Dr_Willis | raven: display them where exactly? | 20:42 |
| needlez | mkanyicy:03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10) | 20:42 |
| mkanyicy | needlez, try 'sudo iwconfig 2> /dev/null' | 20:42 |
| ChogyDan | ThinkT510: video editor, really? | 20:43 |
| needlez | mkanyicy: do i need to reboot after to see if it works?? | 20:43 |
| raven | Dr_Willis, all images in subfolders on one page as like as in irfanview thumbnails | 20:43 |
| mkanyicy | needlez, no | 20:43 |
| dsnyders | How easy is it to sync a cell phone to Thunderbird? | 20:43 |
| andresmh | Dr_Willis: yeah, I guess. I'm just a moment in time where I don't have that much extra time and I'd rather learn to do it during the summer or some other time. | 20:43 |
| ThinkT510 | ChogyDan: http://www.openshotvideo.com/ yes | 20:44 |
| === pauljw_vm is now known as pauljw | ||
| induz_ | ok Dr_Willis I am trying cinerella with .dv files and later i will get openshot | 20:44 |
| andresmh | Dr_Willis: from your comment I can infer that you did upgrade from Vista to Win 7 on a dual-boot system and you had to restore grub? | 20:44 |
| Dr_Willis | raven: irfanview works in wine last time i tried it. :) | 20:44 |
| needlez | mkanyicy: then it didn't work | 20:44 |
| Dr_Willis | andresmh: i rarely if ever upgrade.. | 20:44 |

| raven | Dr_Willis, no linux tool like that? | 20:44 |
| mkanyicy | needlez, what was printed? | 20:45 |

| Yerushalmi | I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Edition, and a bunch of updates came in two days ago. After installing them and rebooting, my desktop no longer comes up: I get the upper bar, but the main screen keeps cycling between my desktop background and all white. Opening Ubuntu Netbook Edition 2D works, though. Anyone know what this is? | 20:45 |

| shane4ubuntu | however there isn't a central location or somewhere to put them, and when I create a link in their directory I have to do it as root, which then makes that link non-accessible | 20:51 |

| shane4ubuntu | Dr_Willis: reguardless they would have to be able to read from the /home/username folder in order to access the /home/username/Pictures folder, which minimally would be 744 on my home | 20:55 |
| Dr_Willis | shane4ubuntu: thats the core of how permissions work yes. | 20:56 |
| Dr_Willis | but that dosent mean they have full access to other subdirs in yoru home. | 20:56 |
| Dr_Willis | I set up 'PublicShare' type dirs in my home for other users to use. | 20:56 |
| shane4ubuntu | Dr_Willis: oooooh, right, because I don't have to set those recursively | 20:56 |
| needlez | anyone?? | 20:57 |
| ThinkT510 | shane4ubuntu: can't you have a seperate partition to put any files on and set up access rights on each account? | 20:57 |
| Dr_Willis | shane4ubuntu: you can even set specific permissions on a file... :) | 20:57 |
| Dr_Willis | shane4ubuntu: so its all about how you want to do it. | 20:57 |
| sharperguy | dsnyders, Well I don't have much information about what stuff is supported. There could be an article somewhere in the ubuntu community wiki. | 20:57 |
| shane4ubuntu | Dr_Willis: right, for some reason my brain was stuck in recursive mode which doesn't have to be the case | 20:57 |
| zen_monkey | hi, is there a way to find a ppa that's not working? like when apt-get update returns an error, to know from wich of them? | 20:57 |

| shane4ubuntu | ok, gotta run, thanks | 20:57 |
| Dr_Willis | middle: boot live cd, chroot into installed system. use package manager tools as needed. | 20:58 |
| dsnyders | !cell | 20:58 |

| NooBoontoo | What is GTK for? | 21:05 |
| Dr_Willis | !gtk | 21:05 |
| ubottu | GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI | 21:05 |
| NooBoontoo | I mean, I was downloading some Gnome themes and I keep seeing thGTK, GTK+ themes ... | 21:06 |
| NooBoontoo | Oh, so is it ok if I download them and use them on Gnome? | 21:06 |
| NooBoontoo | Is it possible? | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | NooBoontoo: themes are made of theme 'parts' such as window decorators, widgits (inside the windows, buttons and stuff) and icon themes.. | 21:06 |
| Diverdude | anyone? | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | NooBoontoo: most likely its a theme for the 'buttons/widgits' you are seeing. | 21:07 |
| iConfused | Dr_Willis, I've been digging through google, trying to figure out how to get rid of an error with an installer, and I think nohide is an option, so, I'll try using that. I was trying to use cdrom as the name of the device as opposed to sr0, so that was probably my main issue. | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | iConfused: on my system /dev/cdrom is a link to /dev/sr0 | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | so is /dev/dvd :) | 21:07 |

| tonsofpcs | moza: kill pulseaudio | 21:24 |
| xcfdjSe7en | 'lo there | 21:24 |
| hippytaff | spacefish: if you backed it up you ahould be able to restore it...that's the whole idea of backing up :-) | 21:24 |
| tonsofpcs | "killall pulseaudio" if you want to just type it | 21:24 |
| ohsix | spacefish: you can, but if you want to restore more than just /home you probably want to use duplicity directly to do it (deja-dup uses duplicity behind the scenes) | 21:24 |
| spacefish | Sorry. To be more specific can I just restore everything to the partition and reinstall grub and everything will be the same? | 21:25 |
| moza | tonsofpcs, i tried pulseaudio --kill, but i guess i'll try the killall way. | 21:26 |
| ohsix | it doesn't back up partitions, but you can create a partition to recover to and reinstall grub and all that | 21:26 |
| xcfdjSe7en | I've downloaded the netbook version of Ubuntu 10.10 and I want to boot it from my USB thumb drive , but Unetbootin doesnt seem to work , neither does "dd" , what else should I use ? | 21:26 |
| moza | tonsofpcs, should i restart it afterwards? | 21:27 |
| tonsofpcs | nah | 21:27 |
| moza | it seems it doesnt kill... :/ | 21:27 |
| tonsofpcs | try as root? | 21:27 |
| tonsofpcs | sudo killall pulseaudio | 21:27 |
| tonsofpcs | but if you don't mind restarting, restarting usually fixes it | 21:27 |
| ohsix | xcfdjSe7en: do you have an existing ubuntu install? theres a startup disk creator that does it correctly | 21:28 |
| moza | i did it as root tonsofpcs | 21:28 |
| hippytaff | spacefish: It should be the same as your last backup - I suggest following ohsix's advice | 21:28 |
| moza | but ok, it doesn't wok, i guess i need to restart :( | 21:28 |

| GMH | well, i am using openbox, and trying to get stuff to work, so GUI is not something i can ask for at this point | 21:39 |
| Guest76795 | on other hand ???? | 21:39 |
| GMH | what i did was i installed ubuntu on an old laptop, with only 256 MB ram, and it's quite slow | 21:40 |
| ohsix | KM0201: you can also click on the link to see some of the issues; but gedit will send commands to a running instance instead of running a new instance as root | 21:40 |
| ardchoille | GMH: That's where a light window manager excels :) | 21:40 |
| GMH | so i was looking into alternatives to gnome that might work better. i got openbox and fluxbox, but i can't connect to the internet. | 21:40 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: all i can tell you, is i just done it (had one file open w/ gedit, and ran sudo gedit /source list... and it worked just fine. | 21:40 |
| elfranne | http://pastebin.com/R0Hidx59 what have i done wrong with my smb.conf ? i can only see public but i can even not write in it ? | 21:40 |
| ohsix | great stuff | 21:40 |
| GMH | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=645611 <-- found this, and am trying to edit autostart.sh. | 21:41 |
| W4RH4WK | GMH, i'd recommend giving xfce a try it's much easier | 21:41 |
| JQQ | does anyone know of any good Aero/Win7 copy cat themes/skins and such so i could add some "familiarty" to Ubuntu if i made the full switch... i havent found many articles on customizing Ubuntu a lot | 21:41 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: i stand by my opinion that if he couldn't get sudo to properly work, he was doing something wrong... is it the right way to do it?.. no.. but it was still him, not ubuntu | 21:41 |
| ohsix | GMH: you need a widget that'll talk to networkmanager and tell it to do stuff | 21:41 |
| ohsix | KM0201: phhrbthth | 21:41 |

| ohsix | KM0201: you can't do it wrong | 21:41 |
| GMH | ohsix: is it something i can solve by putting "nm-applet --sm-disable &" in the autostart.sh file? | 21:41 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: his path or something was wrong, thats the only logical explanation. | 21:41 |
| ohsix | KM0201: no | 21:42 |
| bc81 | JQQ: kubuntu is more similar to win7 then ubuntu is, i think. you might have a more comfortable transition | 21:42 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: well, logic is onm my side, you're just ranting.. | 21:42 |
| ohsix | GMH: possibly but the desktop you pick should have a session manager and be able to start it for you | 21:42 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: sudo and gksudo , are the same thing... if one works, the other will (while one may not be technically appropriate, it will still work) | 21:42 |
| ActionParsnip | JQQ: there is a transform pack to make the OS look like Win7 if you wish | 21:42 |
| ohsix | KM0201: hahah, logic! you actually don't know the circumstances at _all_ well enough to make a logical conclusion, you are full of it | 21:42 |
| ardchoille | GMH: Have you tried XFCE or LXDE? They're lighter than gnome | 21:42 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: one of us is full of it all right. | 21:42 |
| ardchoille | KM0201: lol | 21:43 |
| Guest76795 | means the interpreter program to run it i need an interpreter app to excute it | 21:43 |
| GMH | ardchoille: Not yet; i'd only heard of fluxbox and openbox from two friends | 21:43 |
| guntbert | ohsix: stay polite | 21:43 |
| ohsix | KM0201: no, they are very different, graphical apps often spawn one instance, then futher invocations send commands to the running instance to do things | 21:43 |
| GMH | i will look into them | 21:43 |
| Guest76795 | i mean the source of the prog | 21:43 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: i just tested your "reasoning" on why it didn't work for him, and it worked just fine for me.. .again, PEBKAC.. had nothing to do w/ ubuntu | 21:43 |
| GMH | i can just get them using aptitude, right? | 21:43 |
| ohsix | guntbert: i'm not being impolite | 21:43 |
| Guest76795 | right? | 21:43 |
| Yerushalmi | I'm running Ubuntu Netbook Edition, and a bunch of updates came in two days ago. After installing them and rebooting, my desktop no longer comes up: I get the upper bar, but the main screen keeps cycling between my desktop background and all white. Opening Ubuntu Netbook Edition 2D works, though. Anyone know what this is? | 21:43 |
| ardchoille | GMH: Well, fluxbox is quite nice as a wm for older systems | 21:43 |
| ardchoille | haven't used ob in years | 21:43 |
| ohsix | KM0201: you're blaming a person when you don't even know what you're talking about; you get that part at least, right? | 21:43 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: i get that you don't have a clue. | 21:44 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: i suggest you scroll back | 21:44 |
| W4RH4WK | GMH, as i said, i'd recommend xfce, lighter than gnome and not so lightweight than fluxbox / openbox | 21:44 |
| ohsix | KM0201: ad hominem | 21:44 |
| bc81 | lubuntu | 21:44 |
| ohsix | KM0201: i was here when the question was fielded | 21:44 |
| guntbert | KM0201: ohsix: please drop that quarreling | 21:44 |
| KM0201 | guntbert: it was dropped a while ago, then eh started his personal attack. | 21:44 |
| Guest76795 | #python | 21:44 |
| GMH | well, here's my comptuer's stats: 1.4 GHz processor (I think. it's 1.something), 256 MB ram, it's from 2003, an IBM T40. | 21:44 |
| bc81 | !lubuntu | GMH | 21:44 |
| ubottu | GMH: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 21:44 |
| ohsix | alright, now i'm positive you're just trolling | 21:44 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: whatever.. just another thing you're wrong about | 21:45 |
| elfranne | http://pastebin.com/R0Hidx59 what have i done wrong with my smb.conf ? i can only see public but i can even not write in it ? | 21:45 |
| ohsix | you started the personal attacks and talk of "logic" being on your side when you demonstrated you didn't have the information you needed to make such a statement | 21:45 |
| GMH | what version and window manager would you suggest for a computer like that? | 21:45 |
| ardchoille | GMH: Try XFCE, LXDE when you get a chance, you might like them as desktop envs | 21:45 |
| ohsix | KM0201: you're good :] | 21:45 |
| ThinkT510 | GMH: i'd reccommend xubuntu, I got a T40 running that nicely | 21:45 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: i know | 21:45 |
| genii-around | GMH: For specs like that, you are better off with LXDE or XFCE desktop ( lubuntu or xubuntu ) | 21:45 |
| ActionParsnip | GMH: just install lxde, you don't need the full desktop as you already have apps. You will have duplicate apps installed | 21:45 |
| ohsix | KM0201: i respect that, but it doesn't exactly help people, which is what i'm here to do | 21:45 |
| soulslayer | hey guys does anyone here make lm-sensors work with core i7Q ? | 21:45 |
| GMH | oh, so i dont need to trash everything and install lubuntu, i can just install lxde? | 21:45 |
| KM0201 | ohsix: helping and misleading is different | 21:46 |
| ardchoille | GMH: right | 21:46 |
| scarface | Where do I look on my server to see the ssh key that is presented to clients? When I try to ssh into my server, the client asks me to accept the server's key and shows me some hex value. Where on the server can I find that? | 21:46 |
| GMH | okay. so does that mean that most of the memory hogging is due to gnome rather than to ubuntu itself? | 21:46 |
| ohsix | KM0201: indeed, i guess that explains both our roles here | 21:46 |
| W4RH4WK | elfranne, first of all, you only had the [ and ] at public not at the other shares | 21:46 |
| ardchoille | GMH: apt-cache search -n lxde | 21:46 |
| jsw_ | Thank you guys for your help earlier. My machine is working well now. If I may ask one more question .. I seem to have an NFS UID mismatch going on between my two machines now, and I am not sure why. I am not supplying anonuid/anongid in /etc/exports or anything, and the UIDs of my user on the teo boxes are both 1000. | 21:46 |
| W4RH4WK | that's why only public is present | 21:46 |
| W4RH4WK | elfranne, u need to add [pics] for example | 21:47 |
| ardchoille | GMH: gnome is nice, but for older systems lxde or xfce are faster and have smaller footprints | 21:47 |
| GMH | ardchoille: Will do that after i boot into Ubuntu Desktop Edition. | 21:47 |
| W4RH4WK | elfranne, the line starting with # is just a comment, it's ignored by the smb daemon | 21:47 |
| zoffix_ | Hi. Is there an easy way to change resolution using command line command? I ran an app that changed resolution to super-high. I killed the app, but resolution remained. Now my monitor is crying that input is not supported, but I don't want to kill my X session as I have some important stuff running. | 21:47 |
| GMH | and yeah, gnome seems nice though i just can't run crap | 21:47 |
| === ExplodingPiglets is now known as Sagacious-high | ||
| ardchoille | GMH: you can do apt-cache searches from a term in any env | 21:47 |
| KM0201 | ardchoille: i like lxde.. frankly, i think the line between xfce and gnome is a bit blurred, in terms of which is "lighter".. both are fairly bloated, especially w/ Ubuntu. | 21:47 |
| GMH | ardchoille: but i wasn't connected to the itnernet | 21:47 |
| elfranne | W4RH4WK oh thx ill try that | 21:48 |
| ardchoille | GMH: Ah, ok | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: amen, xubuntu is putting on the pounds these days | 21:48 |
| KM0201 | ActionParsnip: i know.. kinda disappointing really, but lxde is slick... | 21:48 |
| W4RH4WK | elfranne, i got a pretty good test config here, i'll post it, just a moment | 21:48 |
| BluesKaj | Yerushalmi, try rebooting into the recovery kernel and holding shift key down to bring up the grub menu, then you get a dialog box , choose "fix broken packages" afterwards "reboot normally" , it could be you graphics driver is problematic | 21:48 |
| ActionParsnip | KM0201: its all I use, more RAM for apps | 21:48 |
| ohsix | do you guys actually measure the impact of what you insist is happening or just bloviate about the dire sadness of the situation | 21:48 |
| KM0201 | yup. | 21:48 |
| GMH | what's the difference between aptitude and apt-cache? | 21:48 |

| W4RH4WK | elfranne, http://paste.ubuntu.com/569343/ | 21:49 |
| === Sagacious-high is now known as ExplodingPiglets | ||
| ardchoille | GMH: aptitude has a gui, apt-cache is just a single command | 21:49 |
| ohsix | GMH: aptitude is a dpkg frontend, apt is as welll; apt-cache is part of the apt set of tools that searches package descriptions, aptitude can do the same thing | 21:49 |
| ardchoille | GMH: with apt-cache search, the "-n" searches package names only | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | needlez: use ndisgtk and the windows driver | 21:49 |
| jsw_ | I think it is very subjective, what is "bloat," and what is an "older machine." My machine is 4 years old and I am still happy with it (much to the dismay of PC-makers, I bet.) | 21:49 |

| ohsix | GMH: in aptitude you press / and just start searching :D (at least for names, that is) | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Yerushalmi: ok and what is the issue you are having? | 21:50 |
| needlez | ActionParsnip: I want to use it for aircrack-ng so that wont work, | 21:50 |
| ardchoille | GMH: narrows the search down nicely | 21:50 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: er, stick a 00 in front of that :) | 21:50 |
| ohsix | GMH:then you can press n to go to the next match | 21:50 |
| GMH | ohsix: i thought aptitude could be used in command line as well | 21:50 |
| KM0201 | jsw_: this is true.. i use Gnoem on a 6yr old laptop, and it runs great... so you're right, it's all about perspective | 21:50 |
| GMH | at least, i was doing that last night lol | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Yerushalmi: thats fine, thats just the bus ;) | 21:50 |
| BluesKaj | Yerushalmi, have you tried installing the recommended driver in admin/hardware? | 21:50 |
| macs | Yay :D | 21:50 |
| GMH | okay, found lxde, lxde-common, lxde-core, lxde-icon-theme, lxde-settings-daemon | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | needlez: then I'd grab a device KNOWN to work. USB wifi is dead cheap | 21:50 |
| GMH | how many of those should i be installing? | 21:50 |
| W4RH4WK | elfranne, i also recommend having a look at http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html | 21:50 |
| jsw_ | Also, before this box, my last one I bought in 1998. So it lasted me 9 years! | 21:50 |

| needlez | ActionParsnip: this does work with ubuntu, it works oob, and is atheros AR9 chipset | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Yerushalmi: so what is your issue? | 21:51 |
| LjL | !info lubuntu-desktop | GMH i haven't really followed the conversation, but maybe this is what you really want? | 21:51 |
| ubottu | GMH: lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.18 (maverick), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 powerpc ia64 sparc lpia armel) | 21:51 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: Basically, ever since last night's installation, when the computer boots up the regular overlay of buttons doesn't show up | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | needlez: then grab the driver as atheros support linux well, you may need to patch the driver | 21:51 |
| GMH | LjL: Yes, this is what people have been recommending to me. I'm about to grab lxde. | 21:51 |
| ardchoille | GMH: install lxde, it's a met package, meaning it will pull in everything needed | 21:51 |
| needlez | ActionParsnip: but for some reason when ever i plug in any usb wireless card its not found like something went wrong with my compat-wireless | 21:51 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: Er, two nights ago, that is. Everything else works fine - keyboard commands bring up Terminal. The upper bar with the time is still there. Even the little black box that appears to let me know battery and network status works. | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Yerushalmi: can you define "regular overlay of buttons" please | 21:52 |
| GMH | oh, that's what meta-package means. thanks. | 21:52 |
| GMH | so that's just "apt-get lxde"? | 21:52 |
| LjL | GMH: lubuntu-desktop is also a meta-package for that matter | 21:52 |
| ardchoille | GMH: yep, meta packages pull in required dependencies | 21:52 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: I just have my desktop background. No series of "Favorites, Files & Folders, Accessories, etc." buttons down the side. | 21:52 |
| GMH | LjL: How does it differ from getting lxde by itself? | 21:52 |
| W4RH4WK | GMH, "apt-get install lxde" | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | GMH: just install lxde, log off, click your username, select lxde at the bottom, then log in | 21:52 |
| ardchoille | GMH: sudo apt-get install lxde | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !panels | Yerushalmi | 21:53 |
| ubottu | Yerushalmi: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 21:53 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: And the desktop background doesn't stay there. It blinks all white every second or so. Sometimes faster, sometimes a lot slower. | 21:53 |
| ardchoille | LjL: yes, thank you | 21:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Yerushalmi: does that command help? | 21:53 |
| GMH | okay, installing lxde | 21:53 |
| GMH | brb, bathroom | 21:53 |
| LjL | GMH: i'm not sure in this specific case, but in general -desktop packages do two things: 1) bring in more packages (like office suites and the like) 2) bring in things that make it a *buntu thing rather than the standard desktop environment | 21:53 |
| W4RH4WK | GMH, good luck (with the bathroom thing)^^ | 21:53 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: I'll have to log out and log back in again to test that - I'm in 2D mode right now. | 21:53 |
| kyan | How can I uninstall openjdk without installing sun's jre? | 21:53 |
| ardchoille | GMH: as LjL pointed out, you might want to install lubuntu-desktop to get all of lxde installed in one go | 21:53 |
| GMH | hahahaha | 21:53 |
| GMH | oh, i'm already in the midst of lxde installing | 21:54 |
| W4RH4WK | :P | 21:54 |
| GMH | though i guess if i install lubuntu will it just figure out what i already have and skip that? | 21:54 |
| ardchoille | GMH: no worries, you can go back and install lubuntu-desktop if you want | 21:54 |
| kyan | Synaptic seems to be trying to force me to install sun's jre when I remove openjdk. | 21:54 |
| ardchoille | GMH: yes | 21:54 |
| ohsix | kyan: if something has a jre in their dependencies one will need to be installed, theres more than sun's and openjdk but i have no experience with their use; if you want to remove them all you'll have to remove the package that depends on having a jre around as well | 21:54 |
| J697 | Ok, a really old computer of mine(only has a 60 GB hard drive) has a big problem. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and everything seems well and good, although I can't use wireless and I connected the ethernet cable and then tried to install updates and it did not work! It gave me a error of some sort when it was installing (it downloaded it fine) and I went to Disk Utility and it said "The disk has a few bad sectors", I scrolled down and it said "value: 1", so I | 21:54 |
| J697 | am guessing that there are one bad sector(s), whatever that means and I am wondering is wireless possible for this computer? | 21:54 |
| LjL | GMH: sure | 21:54 |
| GMH | because i know i already have the basic suite of ubuntu stuff | 21:55 |
| GMH | like, openoffice nad such | 21:55 |
| GMH | *and | 21:55 |
| kyan | ohsix: Ah. Is there a way I can do a search to determine what depends on them? | 21:55 |
| LjL | GMH: APT takes care of all that. it will never reinstall things that are already installed | 21:55 |
| kyan | (sorry, I'm a bit of a noob to Linux) | 21:55 |
| GMH | kyan: don't worry; so am i | 21:55 |
| LjL | kyan: apt-cache rdepends packagename | 21:55 |
| ardchoille | We were all noobs at one point :) | 21:56 |
| kyan | LjL: Thanks! | 21:56 |
| GMH | also, i'm starting to see the usefulness in having apt figure out everything that's already on the computer | 21:56 |
| kyan | True :-) | 21:56 |
| ohsix | kyan: the packagename you're looking for is default-jre | 21:56 |

| W4RH4WK | J697, yes, it is, having bad sectors will is bad for your system due to data loss / corruption, but the hardware support won't be affected | 21:56 |

| LjL | !fsck | J697 | 22:01 |
| ubottu | J697: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 22:01 |
| soulslayer | ActionParsnip, i know but thats not the case sensors-detect does not detect any devices and the default configuration returns me output as a single core machine | 22:01 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: they all do; update succeeds as does checking the integrity of the packages | 22:01 |
| ohsix | bbl | 22:01 |
| Docfxit | How can I tell if the Ubuntu I am running is 32bit or 64bit? | 22:01 |
| J697 | KB1JWQ, what is the point of running it? | 22:02 |
| ohsix | Docfxit: uname -a | 22:02 |
| J697 | Here is my situation: | 22:02 |
| Oer | Docfxit, terminal: arch | 22:02 |
| voidmage | does ubuntu support 4kb sector hard drives? i haven't bought a new hard drive in 2 years | 22:02 |
| J697 | Ok, a really old computer of mine(only has a 60 GB hard drive) has a big problem. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and everything seems well and good, although I can't use wireless and I connected the ethernet cable and then tried to install updates and it did not work! It gave me a error of some sort when it was installing (it downloaded it fine) and I went to Disk Utility and it said "The disk has a few bad sectors", I scrolled down and it said "value: 1", so I | 22:02 |
| Docfxit | ohsix, Thank you. | 22:02 |
| J697 | *so I guess that means only one sector is bad | 22:02 |
| ohsix | voidmage: it does, all the formatting tools will partition it with the proper alignment and stuff as well | 22:02 |
| LjL | J697, no matter what, if you tell people here - as you're doing - that your hard drive seems to be corrupted/bad, what they'll do is instruct you to diagnose it. | 22:02 |
| Guest97623 | how i can do it | 22:03 |
| voidmage | ohsix: so it'll just work out of the box in 10.10? | 22:03 |
| Guest97623 | ?? | 22:03 |
| MohammadAG | seriously, why does something like gnome-sanity-check block login... | 22:03 |
| ohsix | voidmage: it should, if the drive does; some drives have 4k sectors but they're locked to only show 512b sectors to the host | 22:03 |
| J697 | LjL, I did the command and It checked for something on boot and i didnt look at it really | 22:03 |
| Docfxit | uname -a returns ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 | 22:04 |
| xcfdjSe7en | so there is no way of booting Ubuntu Netbook from a USB drive other than the tool that comes with Ubuntu ? | 22:04 |
| LjL | J697: as long as it completed without dropping you to a shell, that's not too bad. | 22:04 |
| Docfxit | arch returns i686 | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: do you have the latest BIOS? | 22:04 |
| soulslayer | yes | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: so no GPG key errors? | 22:04 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: none | 22:04 |
| KM0201 | J697: whats the wireless device? | 22:04 |
| trijntje | xcfdjSe7en, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: if you run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install nano is it smooth? | 22:04 |
| soulslayer | i think my motherboard is not supported by lm-sensors but im not quite sure does anybody knows other similar packege that can dump that info ? | 22:05 |
| xcfdjSe7en | trijntje, Unetbootin didnt work , neither did "dd" | 22:05 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: there is no problem aside from the icon, i think it shows up because aptd is trying to do an update but the db is locked by an already running package manager | 22:05 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: if you run: less /proc/cpuinfo do you see the chip correctly? | 22:05 |
| Docfxit | Is i686 supposed to tell me that it is 32bit or 64bit? | 22:05 |
| VCoolio | Docfxit: that means 32 bit | 22:05 |
| xcfdjSe7en | anyone ? | 22:05 |
| LjL | Docfxit: 32 | 22:05 |
| soulslayer | ActionParsnip, | 22:05 |
| soulslayer | yes i see it corectly | 22:05 |
| soulslayer | anything is ok | 22:05 |
| Docfxit | VCoolio, Thanks. | 22:05 |
| ashish | how to dynamically allocate an array of structs? | 22:06 |
| soulslayer | i can make frequency scalling | 22:06 |
| ashish | in C | 22:06 |
| J697 | KM0201, what do you mean? The security? or what? | 22:06 |
| soulslayer | and all | 22:06 |
| soulslayer | but i can't detect the sensors | 22:06 |
| KM0201 | J697: no, what device, you say its not working.. so what is the wireless device you're trying to get working | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | xcfdjSe7en: there is the 1-2-3 app from pendrivelinux if you have a windows PC handy. Remember to MD5 test the ISO you are using first | 22:06 |
| drc | xcfdjSe7en: is your computer actually able to boot from USB at all? | 22:06 |
| soulslayer | and ... the sensors are not connected with the cpu becouse they are located on the motherboard | 22:06 |
| soulslayer | .. | 22:06 |
| J697 | KM0201, my computer | 22:06 |
| LjL | ashish: best to ask in ##c | 22:06 |
| xcfdjSe7en | drc, it is for sure | 22:06 |
| GMH | back | 22:06 |
| VCoolio | Docfxit: for 64 bit it would say x86_64 | 22:06 |
| KM0201 | J697: huh? | 22:06 |
| xcfdjSe7en | ActionParsnip, I'm not on Windows | 22:06 |
| ActionParsnip | soulslayer: are there any bugs logged for your motherboard model with regards to sensors? | 22:07 |
| J697 | KM0201, wireless internet? | 22:07 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: it would be cool if the wubi autorun thing had the ability to also copy the iso to a flash drive | 22:07 |
| ashish | LjL, unable to connect to that channel | 22:07 |
| xcfdjSe7en | ActionParsnip, a linux tool would be great | 22:07 |
| KM0201 | J697: didn't you say you had a wireless problem you were trying to diagnose? maybe i confused you w/ someone else | 22:07 |
| ashish | LjL, are u able to? | 22:07 |
| soulslayer | nope at least i cant find any | 22:07 |
| soulslayer | i think they are just not supported | 22:07 |
| LjL | ashish: yes. you need to be identified | 22:07 |
| LjL | !register > ashish (ashish, see the private message from ubottu) | 22:07 |
| GMH | the lubuntu desktop environment is lubuntu-desktop, right? as in, it includes all its dependencies? | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | xcfdjSe7en: i said "IF you have a windows PC handy", read what I write, not what you think I write | 22:07 |
| J697 | KM0201, My computer won't connect to the wireless internet is my problem | 22:07 |
| GMH | or does apt-get also check for dependencies? | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | xcfdjSe7en: there is unetbootin in the repo | 22:07 |
| LjL | GMH: apt-get certainly does check for dependencies | 22:07 |
| KM0201 | J697: ok.. so... what is your wireless device, jesus.. | 22:07 |
| ohsix | GMH: it does satisfy dependencies yes | 22:07 |
| needlez | anyone got any ideas why a USB wireless card that works out of the box is no longer working when I plug it in | 22:08 |
| wolfric | what sort of options should i put in for my external hard drive into fstab? | 22:08 |
| J697 | KM0201, a router | 22:08 |
| xcfdjSe7en | ActionParsnip, Unetbootin didnt work | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: i dislike wubi personally so won't comment there | 22:08 |
| KM0201 | ... | 22:08 |
| ohsix | GMH: it really does mostly just that, and tells dpkg what to do with the files & stuff it gets | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | xcfdjSe7en: then use usb-creator | 22:08 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: well wubi or not, the disk has a windows autorun, it should have a way to create a usb startup disk | 22:08 |
| bc81 | J697: i believe he's asking specifics (make, model...that sort of thing) | 22:08 |
| xcfdjSe7en | ActionParsnip, I'm not under Ubuntu atm | 22:08 |
| J697 | bc81, well then I don't have a clue | 22:08 |
| Docfxit | I need to download an application. It gives me two choices qt or gtk2. What is the difference? | 22:09 |
| GMH | is it better for me using a computer with low amounts of ram to get lubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-core, or does it make no difference? | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | xcfdjSe7en: if you grab the img file you can use dd, did you MD5 test the ISO you are using? | 22:09 |
| VCoolio | wolfric: depends; do you want to mount automatically, and to a specific folder, and grant rights to all users | 22:09 |
| J697 | bc81, I ran that command | 22:09 |
| bc81 | !details | J697 | 22:09 |
| ubottu | J697: 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 ..." | 22:09 |
| * GMH just installed lxde, fyi | 22:09 | |
| needlez | J697: type lspci | grep -i network and post output | 22:09 |
| ohsix | dd'ing an iso to a flash drive isn't going to do what people expect | 22:09 |
| needlez | or lsusb if usb | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | GMH: you can install lubuntu-desktop and get lighter apps than the gnome ones | 22:09 |
| VCoolio | Docfxit: different widget libraries, gtk2 is gnome, qt is kde, stick with one kind if possible | 22:09 |
| * KM0201 is putting lxde on a thumb drive now.. been a while since i tried it, and my laptop is bordering ancient | 22:09 | |
| drc | Docfxit: you using GNOME or KDE? | 22:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: its an img, not an iso | 22:09 |
| ohsix | they boot completely differently and iso9660 isn't something that the bios is actually going to check for on stuff that aren't optical drives | 22:09 |
| guntbert | Docfxit: isn't the app in the repositories? | 22:09 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: ok | 22:09 |
| xcfdjSe7en | ActionParsnip, yes tested .. and "dd" didnt work too , should it be an "img" file to be able to boot though , 'cause I tried it with an ISO | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: again, READ what I write | 22:10 |
| GMH | ActionParsnip: okay, so perhaps i'll just do that now and then logout/log back into lubuntu | 22:10 |
| J697 | ubottu, I already have ;) | 22:10 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | GMH: sounds good | 22:10 |
| qebab | ubottu: give yourself more credit | 22:10 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:10 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: well i dunno how you expect me to disambiguate "img" in such a way when as far as i know the user consumables are isos | 22:10 |
| bc81 | lol | 22:11 |
| GMH | hahaha @ ubottu | 22:11 |
| * GMH made the noob mistake of responding to a PM from ubottu earlier, lol | 22:11 | |
| * GMH failed a spot check | 22:11 | |
| ohsix | GMH: what are you actually trying to achieve with lubuntu? just a change of scenery? | 22:11 |
| J697 | needlez, I get "00:12:0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)" | 22:12 |
| ashish | clear | 22:12 |
| Docfxit | VCoolio, Thanks. I'm using gnome. | 22:12 |
| ardchoille | ohsix: he has an older system that runs gnome really slow | 22:12 |
| sonic | www.youtube.co | 22:12 |
| jkg | I've recently installed Maverick on my laptop, which shipped with Win7. the wifi is ... flakey, won't connect in the office, often drops at home. I see lots of "CPU power or thermal limit exceeded" in dmesg around the times it's flaking out... could this be related, and if so, what does it mean? (the machine isn't running hot, and this happens from almost immediately after I'm logged in and trying to connect to wifi) | 22:12 |
| drc | Docfxit: as VCoolio said, then use GTK | 22:12 |
| needlez | ok, thats the wireless card that you have then tell him that | 22:12 |
| sonic | www.youtube.com | 22:12 |
| Docfxit | guntbert, no. It doesn't seem to be. | 22:12 |
| VCoolio | Docfxit: ok, then use the gtk2 one; qt works too but sticking with gtk will keep things the same | 22:12 |
| LjL | sonic: what about it? | 22:12 |
| J697 | KM0201, "00:12:0 Network controller: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset (rev 01)" | 22:13 |
| ohsix | ardchoille: shrug there might be cheaper and less impactful solutions | 22:13 |
| GMH | ohsix: 256 MB 1.3 or 1.4 GHz ram | 22:13 |
| GMH | 2003 laptop | 22:13 |
| Bogus8 | Anyone in here have experience installing wavemaker? | 22:13 |
| KM0201 | brb... hopefully on lubuntu..lol | 22:13 |
| ohsix | GMH: ahhh, severely low amounts of ram | 22:13 |
| jkg | (typical but unexciting, uninformative dmesg output sample is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/569352/) | 22:13 |
| ardchoille | ohsix: we gave him alternatives, he's trying them to see which is best for him | 22:13 |
| xcfdjSe7en | ActionParsnip, no idea ? | 22:13 |
| J697 | KM0201! | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: its a raw data image of data which you can use dd to the raw usb device and use, ISO files have headers and other data | 22:13 |
| === nick is now known as Guest70444 | ||
| ohsix | GMH: i don't think switching to lubuntu is going to get you all the way on that; finding extra ram alone would solve a lot of problems regardless of the size | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | xcfdjSe7en: did you test your RAM? | 22:13 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: what's a raw data image? the squashfs file on the cd? the casper file? | 22:14 |
| ashish | If we dynamically allocate structures in C, do they stay throughout the life of the program? | 22:14 |
| bc81 | GMH: you check out damn small linux, puppy, feather etc? | 22:14 |
| ashish | I mean can I access them throughout the program | 22:14 |
| xcfdjSe7en | ActionParsnip, everything works trust me , I even booted that same exact ISO on a virtual box and worked | 22:14 |
| GMH | bc81: never heard fo theo ther two; barely heard of damn small linux and no, i haevn't checked it out yet | 22:14 |
| qebab | ashish: they stay until they are deallocated | 22:14 |
| ohsix | bc81: even running nothing will be a problem when you try and browse the web or do anything really :\ | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | xcfdjSe7en: well then if everything works, it must be fine right? | 22:15 |
| J697 | bc81, would I have better luck with internet on a smaller linux variant? | 22:15 |
| piotrek | siema głomby | 22:15 |
| GMH | gdm = gnome, right? | 22:15 |
| piotrek | CZEŚĆ JEŁOPY CO U WAS | 22:15 |
| ashish | qebab, and if they are created in a function which is called from a main function , do they still remain allocated? | 22:15 |
| LjL | GMH: it's the Gnome Display Manager - the login screen | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: its the data which would be on the USB after you create it, like a drive image | 22:15 |
| GMH | okay | 22:15 |

| ubottu | piotrek: České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. | 22:15 |
| ohsix | GMH: you can try looking at the output of smem and see what's contributing to actual memory use, and just remove or use those parts differently; the web browser dwarfs everything on any machine i've had since about 2005 | 22:15 |
| GMH | okay, then i'm choosing lxdm. this is in a "configuring lxdm" screen, saying that only one thing can do one x server at a time or something. | 22:15 |

| ohsix | ActionParsnip: right, but i'm not sure where you're speaking about getting it, or producing it | 22:16 |
| xcfdjSe7en | just want to know if there is another Live USB creator that is compatible with Ubuntu Netbook Edition other than usb-creator , Unetbootin , "dd" | 22:16 |
| GMH | ohsix: oh yes, i've been using epiphany because firefox just makes everything crazily slow. | 22:16 |
| qebab | ashish: if they are created with malloc() or similar, they stay until free() is used on them | 22:16 |
| qebab | ashish: this is a question for #C though | 22:16 |
| ohsix | xcfdjSe7en: doesn't your distro have a package for usb-creator-(gtk|kde) ? | 22:16 |
| ashish | qebab, I cant connect to that, I have registered and everything | 22:16 |
| ashish | qebab, just cant connect | 22:17 |
| ashish | but this somehow answers my question | 22:17 |
| ashish | thanks | 22:17 |
| guntbert | ashish: you are not identified | 22:17 |
| Pnux | hey, whats a good place to put some user created bash scripts so they wont mess the real OS, but still being able to execute from a terminal? | 22:17 |
| ohsix | GMH: hm, you might try chrome, it gets updates more often and uses the same browsing engine; but you'll still be severely limited in what you can do at any speed even if you remove everything with only 256mb of ram | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: may help http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html | 22:17 |
| ashish | guntbert, I was able to connect earlier today, just not now | 22:17 |
| wl_deav | hows about /home Pnux? | 22:17 |
| ardchoille | Pnux: create a folder ~/bin and put them there | 22:17 |
| LjL | Pnux: depends... ~/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/ may be candidates | 22:17 |
| wl_deav | though directory alone won't give you any kind of security or control Pnux | 22:17 |
| === ogra is now known as Guest31833 | ||
| guntbert | ashish: you need to identify with services | 22:18 |
| Pnux | oh nice.. didnt know that, thans ashish, wl_deav and ljL | 22:18 |
| bc81 | J697: not necessarily, it will be more hassle in the long run. run this and see if you have any blocks >> rfkill list | 22:18 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: right but i'm trying to connect up the thread where you would have had me believe, and be in the wrong; about having an filesystem in the first place thats appropriate to be put directly on a drive | 22:18 |
| xcfdjSe7en | ohsix, if usb-creator is the only tool that is able to boot Ubuntu Netbook E ,than I guess I have no other option but installing that tool | 22:18 |
| guntbert | !identify | ashish | 22:18 |
| ubottu | ashish: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 22:18 |
| xcfdjSe7en | anyway , thank you very much ActionParsnip and ohsix for the help , I really appreciate it | 22:18 |
| ohsix | xcfdjSe7en: it's not the only way, but it's one way that works well and people have actually used without trouble; you installed unetbootin already didn't you? what's the diff? :] | 22:19 |
| Docfxit | The app I'm trying to install is doublecmd. I downloaded it from the web page. I selected Software Center to install it. Software Center says it installed. When I select it from Applications , Accessories it doesn't run. | 22:19 |

| ActionParsnip | ohsix: not sure but I know it could, its a different way to store the installer image | 22:20 |
| ohsix | xcfdjSe7en: i know, i was just saying; you installed that already to try and get it to work (and in my experience it doesn't work!) what's the problem with installing usb-creator for the same reason | 22:20 |
| Docfxit | I'm running from a USB thumbdrive with persistence | 22:20 |
| StukaBR | Hi, | 22:20 |
| xcfdjSe7en | I find it weird though , 'cause I used Unetbootin and "dd" for all my distros , and I encounter no issues at all | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: and uses dd (or another tool) to put the image on the usb | 22:20 |
| StukaBR | what's the best version of ubuntu? | 22:20 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: right, but you need the image :\ | 22:20 |
| Somelauw | Is it possible that evince wastes a lot of memory. | 22:20 |

| needlez | J697: have you tried to use ndiswrapper to get it working?? | 22:23 |
| xcfdjSe7en | for me I mean | 22:23 |
| jenia | _skpl: Isn't it going to load compiz after metacity loads in gnome? what I need is start already in compiz, instead of loading it after loading to gnome. | 22:23 |
| J697 | what is that? | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: does rhythmnbox not do it? | 22:23 |

| GMH | lubuntu, lubuntu netbook, and LXDE | 22:26 |
| GMH | which one should i pick? | 22:26 |
| ThinkT510 | Somelauw: works on the ones i read, but i must admit i don't read many pdfs, usually just the manual for virtualbox | 22:26 |
| schock | i almost had the nvidia grpahics card working | 22:27 |
| Jordan_U | Yerushalmi: ActionParsnip: "nautilus" | 22:27 |

| ThinkT510 | Somelauw: you could always try installing sumatrapdf in wine | 22:27 |
| ohsix | GMH: i suspect you still won't get much satisfaction from any of them | 22:27 |
| GMH | ohsix: i meant that i already have them installed. though i guess your answer still applies. | 22:27 |
| mbeierl | ohsix: what's the m4a plugin for rhythbox called...? "None of the tracks are in a format supported... etc" | 22:27 |
| ardchoille | JQQ: 10.04 is a LTS release, supported for 3 years on the desktop | 22:27 |

| ohsix | GMH: ya, you can pick which one to run at the bottom of the login screen | 22:27 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: No good; Nautilus doesn't work for me and hasn't for weeks. Although I've discovered that it *does* work in UNE2D. Maybe there's a connection? | 22:27 |

| ohsix | mbeierl: you need to look to gstreamer for that, i just install all the plugin packages so i don't know which one in particular would fix just that; some are in the universe repository and you'll have to enable it | 22:28 |
| sneakyimp | Does anyone know how to disable DNS cache in firefox? | 22:28 |
| ThinkT510 | Somelauw: try it out and see, you can always uninstall it later | 22:28 |

| ThinkT510 | GMH: you can set more virtual desktops if you want | 22:30 |
| ohsix | GMH: that is configurable in any desktop; and they basically just move windows around, they don't use that many resources | 22:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: you can install windows in a non-ose virtualbox and use itunes, yo9ur system may struggle if it's mid to low range as you will be using BOTH OSes at the same time but you will be able to use iTunes. | 22:31 |
| mbeierl | ohsix: but as I said... will do a little more searching to see if I'm missing a plugin | 22:31 |

| mbeierl | ohsix: thanks. I'll let you know if rhythmbox can solve it where gtkpod couldn't... | 22:32 |
| sneakyimp | i'm trying to set up Ubuntu for PHP dev server. I added some apache conf with a 301 redirect in it yesterday and promptly disabled it. Firefox held on to the 301 redirect until I cleared my cache today. Is there any way to easily clear firefox cache on firefox/ubuntu? | 22:32 |
| eksit | #ubuntu-nl | 22:32 |
| tsimpson | lotus: no, absolutely nothing by default | 22:32 |
| mman | lotus, yes there is | 22:32 |
| lotus | tsimpson: that is sad | 22:32 |
| lotus | mman: that makes me smile ^^ | 22:32 |
| tsimpson | lotus: Ubuntu comes with no network facing services by default | 22:32 |
| ohsix | mbeierl: i haven't looked at gtkpod in a while, but iirc it's supposed to be using usbmuxd and all that fancy stuff that the new ipod os'ii work; if it doesn't do it now it might be a bug | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | lotus: if you need ssh access instal openssh-server it has X forwarding enabled by default :) | 22:33 |
| Abinadi | !sound | 22:33 |

| Chipzzz | mman: what, then? | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | lotus: do what? | 22:33 |
| GMH[ubuntu] | yay i am now connected to the internet! | 22:33 |
| lotus | ActionParsnip: install ssh | 22:33 |
| * GMH[ubuntu] is using Lubuntu | 22:33 | |
| ActionParsnip | lotus: hmm, you'll need physical access then | 22:33 |
| mman | Chipzzz, i did it once | 22:33 |
| lotus | ActionParsnip: :) I'm not infront of the computer. I don't want to bike altheway back. | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | GMH[ubuntu]: welcome to the revolutions :) | 22:34 |
| mman | im looking for it | 22:34 |
| lotus | it's cold out. | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | lotus: anyone local? | 22:34 |
| GMH[ubuntu] | ActionParsnips: lol. well, if you want a quick story of why i have ubuntu on thismachine in the first place: | 22:34 |
| ohsix | GMH: theres something you can turn on to compress swap and get a bit more unf; i think it was disabled in 10.10 though, or the name changed and the init scripts didn't catch up :[ it was nice while i was able to use it | 22:34 |
| sneakyimp | another question i have is about using /etc/network/interfaces to make my machine think it's hosting various domains. is that ok? for instance, i'm working on mydomain.com. I put 127.0.0.1 in /etc/network/interfaces and my browser thinks mydomain.com is hosted by local machine. is that stupid or reasonable? | 22:34 |
| ThinkT510 | !yay | GMH[ubuntu] | 22:34 |
| ubottu | GMH[ubuntu]: Glad you made it! :-) | 22:34 |
| Chipzzz | mman: ty... I'm curious too... | 22:34 |

| tsimpson | sneakyimp: you mean /etc/hosts? | 22:35 |
| mman | Chipzzz, system-> remote desktop | 22:35 |
| Chipzzz | mman: ty | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | mman: no physical access, so isn't able to do that | 22:35 |
| drc | GMH[ubuntu]: This means the next round is on you | 22:35 |
| sneakyimp | tsimpson, doh yes i do | 22:35 |
| Bogus8 | Anyone in here have experience installing wavemaker? | 22:35 |
| mbeierl | ohsix: I was missing the -multiverse ugly and bad. m4a support now there for rhythmbox, but - no luck getting the song onto the ipod. It transfers, but the ipod does not show it in its song list. | 22:35 |
| tsimpson | sneakyimp: yeah, unless you have access to a DNS server, that's what /etc/hosts is there for | 22:35 |
| GMH[ubuntu] | This machine had XP when i first got it back in 2003. XP died unexpectedly sometime in 2007 I believe, and was unrecoverable. In early 2008 I had a friend install Ubuntu. It wasn't an easy install since this machine lacks a functional CD drive, and he had to jump through various hoops to get it running. | 22:35 |
| mman | ActionParsnip, what do u mean with no physical access? | 22:35 |
| lotus | mman: he means I'm at home and the lab is a cold bike ride away. | 22:36 |
| Chipzzz | mman: it is disabled by default... what he wants to do is avoid a trip to work to enable something | 22:36 |
| mman | lotus, mmm in that case you have noooo chance:P | 22:36 |
| lotus | I think I should look at the bike ride as brisk and inviting... | 22:36 |
| GMH[ubuntu] | then i mostly ignored it until recently, when I actually got to know someone in meatspace who ran ubuntu and could help me out with stuff, and then i sent my main computer into the shop so i need another computer to use. | 22:36 |
| sneakyimp | tsimpson: yes, the idea is that i set and work at my awesome new ubuntu workstation and when i request somedomain.com i can map it to the local apache server and the local apache server, rather than just pointing me to the default home page will use the virtual host for that domain. sounds like a reasonable thing to do? | 22:36 |
| Chipzzz | lol | 22:36 |
| mman | lotus, maybe if u hack it:P | 22:37 |

| tsimpson | lotus: neither are privileged, www-data (what apache runs as) has pretty much no access to anything unless you explicitly give it some | 22:39 |
| ohsix | GMH: it could be hairy but could also pay off to be played with on your machine, see COMPCACHE_SIZE in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf | 22:39 |

| ohsix | GMH: the patch set was reworked in newer kernels and isn't as nice as just changing that though :\ | 22:40 |

| GMH[win] | ? | 22:42 |
| ohsix | GMH: also re: firefox and chromium/epiphany, firefox can block ads and images and flash and all sorts of things easily that is usually a win overall | 22:42 |
| Chipzzz | GMH[win]: smem is a memory tool | 22:42 |

| pebblix | shane4ubuntu: chown USER:GROUP link (sorry) | 22:46 |
| geogeek1 | hi | 22:47 |
| Chikokishi | How do i add a printer in the pdf viewer program? | 22:47 |
| bc81 | hi^^ | 22:47 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: Didn't know that. But I have nautilus open - and no desktop. | 22:47 |
| shane4ubuntu | ThinkT510: I don't want to mess around with a separate partition, permissions is sufficient to setup the shared folder. | 22:47 |
| jkg | Chikokishi: you dd it through System > Administration > Printing first. | 22:47 |
| jkg | er, add even | 22:47 |
| GMH[win] | how would i turn off tap-to-click in Lubuntu? | 22:48 |
| shane4ubuntu | pebblix: that ends up changing the original folder's owner too though | 22:48 |
| pebblix | shane4ubuntu: You will never have to be logged in as the user for whom with edit permissions as. | 22:48 |
| dxy | anyone here on PS3 box running ubuntu? | 22:48 |
| geogeek1 | how i could use mv or cp without telling the name of the destination file to be the same as the original | 22:48 |
| mman | iamgregor, what i would do, is check how big is the partition you are using right now. And then compare it to those that appeared in the fdisk -l | 22:48 |
| pebblix | shane4ubuntu: Fast to check.. | 22:48 |
| Chikokishi | jkg ok im in that menu and i went to "add network printer" and its asking for "host"? | 22:48 |
| geogeek1 | by giving in the second arg just the path not the name of destnation file | 22:49 |
| bc81 | GMH[win]: ask in #lubuntu (you might get better responses) | 22:49 |
| === Shaded is now known as ShadyShower | ||
| mman | geogeek1, what do mean? | 22:49 |
| Chipzzz | GMH[win]: isn't that a bios function? | 22:49 |
| thekardinal | is your printer connected to your computer or a router? | 22:49 |
| GMH[win] | oh, lubuntu has its own channel? | 22:49 |
| * GMH[win] goes there | 22:49 | |
| Chikokishi | im connected into a net work that the printer is on. | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | geogeek1: mv file /path/to/dest | 22:49 |
| pebblix | shane4ubuntu: Any link will most likely contain the parents folders rights. You can consider them beeing transparent if not hard linked. | 22:49 |
| Chikokishi | Im at school and if you hardwire to the wall you should be able to find the printer (it works in windows atleast...) | 22:50 |
| aplund | Anyone got any hints on this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1691307 | 22:50 |
| jkg | I found work's new xerox tok a couple of minutes to appear in the list, but it did show up. do yo have any details/addresses for the printer or print server | 22:50 |
| Chikokishi | I dont know anything about the printer. | 22:50 |
| geogeek1 | mman: when i use mv i must specify the name of the file in the 1st arg but if i like to name like the originale file how to do that without typing the same name in the 2 args | 22:50 |
| shane4ubuntu | pebblix: I guess I can own the link since it is pointed to a folder that has 744 permissions? | 22:50 |
| jkg | apologies for the odd missing letter, I'm on a really laggy connection and my session occasionally misses keystrokes | 22:51 |
| shane4ubuntu | pebblix: wouldn't really matter at that point? | 22:51 |
| tux0r | mman, I have multiple hdds, a E:\ 1TB - Windows 7 drive (i/dev/sdc1) and another "extra" drive that I believe is C:\ 500GB (/dev/sda1) - each of these drives is only 1 partition at full capacity. I had Grub configured correctly and windows was able to be booted from grub with no problem. I was an idiot and forgot that I had the boot mgr for windows on the C:\ (extra) drive instead of the E:\ | 22:51 |
| tux0r | (windows) and I managed the format the whole bootmgr for windows and now nothing is on the C:\ drive. I would now like my bootmgr for windows to be on the E:\ drive which is where I think the grub boot loader is installed to unless it's on my other-other Linux 500GB - (/dev/sdd1). I'm so confused and am at a loss here. | 22:51 |
| pebblix | aplund: Make it not suspend using hdparm or sdparm. Didnt read thru it though. | 22:51 |
| geogeek1 | ActionParsnip: thanks tooo much :) | 22:51 |
| aplund | pebblix: that would change restoring of the monitor? | 22:51 |
| GMH | ActionParsnip: so lubuntu comes with a suite of its own apps that are lighter than gnome's, such as task manager instead of system monitor? | 22:51 |
| Chikokishi | Oh i think i found it | 22:51 |
| pebblix | shane4ubuntu: I think so, yes. | 22:51 |
| GMH | FWIW it's already working better. | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | aplund: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/dell+latitude+d630 may help | 22:52 |
| mycosys | tuxor - you will need to use ur windows install disk and run recovery | 22:52 |
| shane4ubuntu | pebblix: ohh, one small thing, I can't make the link because I don't have write permissions to their directory, so it is owned by root. | 22:52 |
| mycosys | windows 7 reserves a 100M partition for its bootloader | 22:52 |
| tux0r | mycosys, so it doesn't sound like it's a grub issue? | 22:52 |
| Chikokishi | yayi found it thanks! | 22:52 |
| tux0r | why would it reserve it on another hdd | 22:52 |
| shane4ubuntu | pebblix: I feel like I'm running in circles here. | 22:52 |
| mycosys | not i fyou killed win7s bootloader, no | 22:52 |
| mman | tux0r, didnt understand much your problem | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | GMH: yes, it uses abiword, osmosis and gnumeric instead of opeoffice, it also uses pcmanfm2 for file management and xfburn for CD/DVD burning | 22:53 |
| tux0r | mycosys, how do I tell where grub is installed | 22:53 |
| bc81 | that's where microsoft stors your deepest, darkets secrets...the 100MB boot loader partition | 22:53 |
| * tux0r hopes it's not on his windows drive | 22:53 | |
| ActionParsnip | mycosys: 100Mb, yikes! | 22:53 |
| mycosys | lol | 22:53 |
| pebblix | aplund: Ah, sorry. I read it wrong. Nvidia / hmmz :) .. The trickiest driver known to man :) | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | GMH: stuff like that (leafpad instead of gedit too) | 22:54 |
| GMH | oh gedit isn't light? | 22:54 |
| GMH | never knew that. | 22:54 |
| mman | tux0r, you could install it again if you want | 22:54 |
| aplund | What's the story with nvidia-common version numbers? | 22:54 |
| * GMH is used to using gedit, and being confused about emacs, from using red hat computers at school | 22:54 | |
| leapy0yo | how do i mount a cue and bin file? | 22:54 |
| tux0r | mman, why would i install it again when the whole file system is perfect | 22:54 |
| leapy0yo | an iso | 22:54 |
| aplund | It says impoved with 100.14.19 but I have 260.19.06 installed | 22:54 |
| aplund | is there really that many versions? | 22:54 |

| tux0r | mman, i've done that | 22:55 |
| bazhang | panday, ask in backtrack support NOT here | 22:55 |
| mman | tux0r, ok, then i didnt get ur problem:P | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | GMH: i use nautilus in lubuntu but add the option: --no-desktop so that pcmanfm stil manages the desktop | 22:55 |
| tux0r | how do i find out what hdd the grub boot loader is on | 22:55 |
| mycosys | i dont honestly kknow tux0r | 22:55 |
| mycosys | i know its config files are in /boot/grub | 22:56 |
| shane4ubuntu | pebblix: ok, just tried and it doesn't matter if it belongs to root, just means they cannot delete the link | 22:56 |
| mycosys | reinstalling grub wouldnt hurt tho | 22:56 |
| tux0r | mycosys, yeah i did that :/ | 22:56 |
| induz_ | ok kdenlive is working now but it crashes | 22:56 |
| Abinadi | tux0r, it's on your boot drive | 22:56 |
| mman | tux0r, try to search for that /boot/grub as mycosys says | 22:56 |
| mycosys | if you have reinstalled windows you will definitely need to - windows will overwrite it | 22:56 |

| JQQ | do i have to reintsall ubuntu as/with mythbuntu | 22:58 |
| mycosys | tuxor - it would likely be on the drive that was ur boot drive when u installed linux | 22:58 |
| rumpe1 | tux0r, thats not the device with the grub-bootloader ^^ | 22:58 |
| wl_deav | sam555 run windows system repair by inserting the windows disk, booting to it and selecting repair my windows installation | 22:58 |
| pebblix | The truth about GL-drivers on free software platforms is this atm: You can compile libdrm, mesa, nouveau, ati, intel for GL etc but not really at the same time because of libdrm and mesa changes. I request unity in that department. | 22:58 |
| mycosys | it is generally installed by ubuntu into the mbr | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | sneakyimp: does: service php status say it's running (you may want to tab complete the php bit) | 22:58 |
| sam555 | wl_deav: i did that and it did not work | 22:58 |
| leapy0yo | mount -t iso does not work, how do i mount a cue and bin file? | 22:58 |
| wl_deav | sam555 join ##windows | 22:58 |
| sam555 | kk wl_deav | 22:58 |
| Rubber_Duck | xD | 22:59 |
| mycosys | you need to add -loop leapy0yo | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | leapy0yo: you can use bchunk to make an ISO of it | 22:59 |
| dabox | oo nice, a distro where the creator sucked enough dick for it to make it in the source.. lemme install this now.. | 22:59 |
| mycosys | i think it is -t 1so9660 too | 22:59 |
| sneakyimp | i have also done grep -irl phpmyadmin in the apache2 and there are no references to phpmyadmin in the apache conf at all. what's the easiest way to configure apache to access phpmyadmin? I'd like it to be available on my LAN so plz attach to static ip 192.168.1.3 | 22:59 |
| rumpe1 | tux0r, if grub has written the mbr of a drive, the string "GRUB" should appear... | 22:59 |
| sneakyimp | actionparsnip, i'm sure php is working if that is what you mean | 22:59 |
| Abinadi | ok, I have read all the sound tutorials and forum messages (for versions of earlier editions of ubuntu). I installed VirtualBox and added Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate as a guest OS. Now, my sound doesn't work *at all* anywhere. (it worked fine in maverick before I installed the VB) Can someone give me a hand here? | 22:59 |
| tux0r | which partition is grub normally installed on | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sneakyimp: sure but is the service running. If the service isn't running you cannot connect to it, can you | 23:00 |
| sneakyimp | actionparsnip: unless i'm mistaken, php doesn't run as a service -- apache does (httpd). | 23:00 |
| mycosys | sam555 get an old version of DOS and run fdisk /mbr | 23:00 |
| mycosys | freedos will do | 23:00 |
| tux0r | rumpe1, i confirmed it's on one of the /dev/sdd partitions | 23:00 |
| sneakyimp | actionparsnip, and the availablility of phpmyadmin via apache is a matter of apache <directory> directive or something | 23:01 |
| ohsix | sneakyimp: if it's fastcgi it can run as its own service :] (a side point, i don't think ubuntu has it run this way, but it can do it) | 23:01 |
| pebblix | sneakyimp: PHP is a programming language, yes youre correct | 23:01 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: I think I might have not very well explained things. I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Edition, so my desktop isn't the regular GNOME desktop. It's made up entirely of horizontal bars down the left side of the screen, each of which when cllicked displays its contents in the right half of the screen. I don't know what it's called, but that's what I'm missing; I just have the background... | 23:01 |
| rumpe1 | tux0r, on a partition not on the drive itself? | 23:01 |
| Yerushalmi | ...picture. | 23:01 |
| sneakyimp | believe me everyone, php works fine when accessed via apache | 23:01 |
| tux0r | and those returned: http://www.pastie.org/1583871 | 23:01 |
| sneakyimp | i just need to set up a url to point to phpmyadmin | 23:01 |
| rumpe1 | tux0r, ah ... ok... | 23:02 |
| rumpe1 | tux0r, then you have installed the grub-bootloader to sdd | 23:02 |
| sneakyimp | ohsix, i used apt-get install for all the apache/php stuff so whatever the default is | 23:02 |
| tux0r | ok | 23:02 |
| tux0r | so it's not /sdd1? | 23:02 |
| tux0r | oh no because it's on the root of the drive | 23:02 |
| sam555 | ok mycosys | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Yerushalmi: not sure, I don't use unity (thats what the desktop is called). Could try ALT+F2 and run: mutter --replace | 23:02 |
| tux0r | it's /dev/sdd | 23:02 |
| ohsix | Yerushalmi: that's unity or whatever it was named in UNR (i forget) | 23:02 |
| pebblix | sneakyimp: Add it to the webpage your working with. Make sure youre not doing it live as to expose passwords. | 23:02 |
| openbees | snekkyimp: localhost/phpmyadmin | 23:03 |
| sneakyimp | pebblix, this is a localhost. I'd like to set up one url for the entire machine if possible | 23:03 |
| Abinadi | can someone tell me how to reconfigure Maverick to it's default status (prior to all installs of other software) | 23:03 |
| pebblix | snekkyimp: Edit user/pass in php inc file | 23:03 |
| sneakyimp | pebblix: it's not a public server, just my dev workstation | 23:03 |
| bazhang | Abinadi, to a restore point? | 23:03 |
| wl_deav | sneakkyimp did you add "Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf" to your apache config file? | 23:04 |
| pebblix | As openbees said | 23:04 |
| Abinadi | bazhang, yes, kinda like that | 23:04 |
| bazhang | Abinadi, did you prepare one beforehand? such as with remastersys or the like? | 23:04 |
| Abinadi | bazhang, I believe I made a rescue disk but I'm not sure. | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | sneakyimp: not sure, I dont use php | 23:05 |
| sneakyimp | actionparsnip: service php status returns "php: unrecognized service". i think maybe php is running as module rather than cgi? not sure about that. in any case, PHP and apache work together. i get phpinfo just fine via browser acess to localhost | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | sneakyimp: use tab to complete it, I am unsure of the name | 23:05 |
| openbees | sneakyimp: you should install phpmyadmin using software center ..it will reduce your overhead | 23:05 |
| bazhang | Abinadi, thats not the same thing though | 23:05 |
| AlienBox | I'm having internet speed issue on this fresh install of 10.04, it's getting faster upload speed than download, as reported by speedtest.net, but if i go into another o/s and test the connections, i get the desired results, could ubuntu be using the wrong network card driver? | 23:05 |
| ActionParsnip | sneakyimp: wl_deav sounds smart here :) | 23:05 |
| sneakyimp | wl_deav, openbees: thx | 23:05 |
| wl_deav | yea | 23:05 |
| Abinadi | bazhang, so am I screwed? | 23:05 |

| openbees | sneakyimp: are you kidding ..lolz | 23:06 |
| bazhang | Abinadi, why would you need to rollback | 23:06 |
| pebblix | openbees, sneakyimp: You just need to unpack it somewhere in the web-tree. | 23:06 |
| AlienBox | ActionParsnip, thank you i will have a look | 23:06 |
| sneakyimp | openbees: derp. new to ubuntu | 23:06 |

| scarface | How can I mount an SSH directory via the command line? It seems to happen automatically via Nautilus when I use a "ssh://whatever" URL, and the location gets mounted in ~/.gvfs. I'd like to be able to do the mounting by hand from the command line. | 23:07 |
| bazhang | Abinadi, what about when you get rid of the vm | 23:07 |
| Abinadi | bazhang, I haven | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | scarface: take a look at sshfs | 23:08 |
| edbian | scarface, sshfs | 23:08 |
| Abinadi | bazhang, I haven't tried (or wanted) to get rid of the guest OS (windows) | 23:08 |
| edbian | scarface, instead of ssh (and you give mount points) | 23:08 |
| AlienBox | ActionParsnip, that command showed the correct card | 23:08 |
| pebblix | Im taking advanced JavaScript,DOM and AJAX at the university now. Its much fun because the creation of elements is the same across all programming languages. I dont like windows much though, because their DOM-interpreter code will choke on so many things its not even funny :) | 23:08 |
| scarface | erUSUL, sshfs came up in some searches, but it's not already installed on my system. So I thought there might be another way to do it, since it already works via Nautilus | 23:08 |
| Chipzzz | Abinadi: what adaptor is the vm configured to use? | 23:08 |
| mbeierl | ohsix: sorry - the os version is 4.2.1 | 23:09 |
| leapy0yo | mount -t iso does not work, how do i mount a cue and bin file? | 23:09 |

| erUSUL | scarface: maybe some of the gvfs-foo commands i really dunno | 23:09 |
| bazhang | Abinadi, but part of rolling back would be to undo everything you added, including that vm | 23:09 |

| sneakyimp | wl_deav: and for heaven's sake why doesn't the package installer take care of that? | 23:11 |
| AlienBox | ActionParsnip, i wouldn't be concerned it was a minor speed difference, but it's almost embarassing, i get 20+ Mbps in windows xp, from speed test.net, then i can reboot, go into ubuntu, and only get .75 to 1.5 Mbps | 23:11 |

| Chipzzz | Abinadi: you may find alsa more stable | 23:11 |
| Yerushalmi | ActionParsnip: Alright. Well, thanks for the help, you really are a life-saver :) Good night! | 23:11 |
| sneakyimp | wl_deav: httpd.conf was empty so i can see much more easily what I added versus what is native to the apache cof | 23:11 |
| sneakyimp | wl_deav: thx | 23:11 |
| pebblix | aplund: Presumably the file from which it was loaded from ;) ... If the root user (Always the case) installed the kernel, then seek its modulepath to find the modules installed for this kernel. Then you can md5sum it and compare | 23:11 |
| induz_ | which one is better KDE or GNOMe | 23:12 |
| passthru | bazhang, ok, i will try that. | 23:12 |
| Abinadi | Chipzzz, ok | 23:12 |
| mycosys | induz_ neither | 23:12 |
| AlienBox | this happened before on another machine, I think you walked me through that one too, however i can't remember what we did to get it up to speed | 23:12 |
| Senjai | induz_, subjective, but i prefer gnome | 23:12 |
| induz_ | I know its personal coice but for a MS window guy | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | induz_: neither and both | 23:12 |
| harpreet | Hi, I am looking for shared calendar that I can use online between 10-20 people, is there anything available like that? | 23:12 |
| Lint01 | induz_, gnome by far, also !poll | 23:12 |
| passthru | bazhang, i have a problem with WIFI when it is being managed by NetworkManager. it simply stucks time from time.. and is intermittent | 23:12 |
| wl_deav | harpreet Google Calendar | 23:12 |
| mycosys | induz_ for a windowsx use KDe for sure | 23:12 |
| openbees | sneakyimp: thats why installing from software center is better option ... | 23:12 |
| Senjai | induz_, I am a windows guy, and let me tell you, you really want to get away from windows | 23:12 |
| mycosys | *user | 23:12 |
| harpreet | wl_deav, but can people who dont have gmail, share it? | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | harpreet: sunbird maybe | 23:12 |
| GMH[win] | FWIW | 23:12 |
| Senjai | infuz_, go gnome :) | 23:12 |
| aplund | pebblix: how do I get the md5sum of an installed module? | 23:12 |
| GMH[win] | this old computer running Lubuntu = mostly acceptable | 23:12 |
| wl_deav | harpreet yes you can create a google account with a non gmail address | 23:13 |
| Lint01 | ActionParsnip, sunbird is out of development | 23:13 |
| leapy0yo | i need to mount an iso image, how do i do so? mount -t iso9600 file.iso /cdrom is not working | 23:13 |
| Chipzzz | Senjai: lol... so true... | 23:13 |
| passthru | bazhang, if I kick out the NM and configure it directly in /etc/network/interfaces, it works well. it happens on my netbook to with different hardware. | 23:13 |
| mycosys | induz_ the KDE interface is FAR more familiar for a doze user | 23:13 |
| pebblix | Senjai: I did that in 96 and im not looking back :) | 23:13 |
| GMH[win] | a bit slow at times, but at least it doesn't crash or take longer than 10 minutes to do stuff | 23:13 |
| harpreet | thank you guys | 23:13 |
| sneakyimp | openbees: perhaps, but I want to know how these are done manuall....dedicated servers with CentOS or debian don't have USC | 23:13 |
| erUSUL | leapy0yo: it should if /cdrom exists | 23:13 |
| ohsix | leapy0yo: if you want to do it in one step without calling losetup, you need to add -o loop | 23:13 |
| induz_ | I am not going back to Window Xp[MS] but how can i enjoy both on Lucid i mean KDE and Gnome | 23:13 |
| passthru | bazhang, any clue ? | 23:13 |
| Senjai | pebblix, I did that a month ago, and not looking back :P | 23:13 |
| Jordan_U | leapy0yo: bin/cue files are *not* iso files. | 23:13 |
| mycosys | of course you can induz_ | 23:13 |
| ohsix | leapy0yo: nautilus can auto mount iso files, and it wont leave stale loop's around; you should try it | 23:13 |
| bazhang | passthru, then avoid network manager, I never rely upon it, and connecting via the command line is tons more reliable | 23:13 |
| Lint01 | mycosys, it's too gaudy to be like Windows | 23:13 |
| pebblix | aplund: "md5sum filename" ? | 23:13 |
| induz_ | mycosys, u r a bit right as i am figuring out too | 23:13 |
| openbees | sneakying: then please teach me also | 23:13 |
| Senjai | pebblix, lol, DirectX programmer and everything | 23:13 |
| mycosys | and you can try enlightenment and xfce and more too | 23:13 |
| Lint01 | induz_, yes, but it's disk space overkill | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Lint01: gah | 23:14 |
| pebblix | Senjai: Sexxi ;) | 23:14 |
| aplund | pebblix: how do I know which file is associated with the installed module name? (i.e. the original question) | 23:14 |
| openbees | sneakyimp: then please teach me also | 23:14 |
| sneakyimp | wl_deav: thx so much. i'm in great shape now :D | 23:14 |
| induz_ | right now i am using Gnome but I am also using KDElive, sometimes it crashes | 23:14 |
| Chipzzz | induz_: you can make another user for your alternate desktop... sadly they don't always play nicely together | 23:14 |
| wl_deav | no worries sneakyimp | 23:14 |
| passthru | bazhang, i agree . but i can't do it on netbook, since I use it for mobility and i have to connect in a lot of different networks daily | 23:14 |
| mycosys | induz - you can just remove the ones you dont want later when you decide your desktop environment for good | 23:14 |
| sneakyimp | openbees: lol! Lessonz: five hunderd an our | 23:14 |
| Senjai | Omg, #ubuntu, is crazy buzzy, I need some tea. | 23:14 |
| pebblix | aplund: lsmod | grep ModuleName | 23:14 |
| AegisX | I was wondering... does anyone here use Evolution with a Gmail account? Do you find they interact well, with the labels and stars and archiving and such? | 23:15 |
| passthru | bazhang, and it sometimes makes me pissed :P | 23:15 |
| induz_ | Chipzzz, can I make another user for me and setup KDE there | 23:15 |
| aplund | pebblix: see above. I've done that. No dice. | 23:15 |
| openbees | sneakyimp: i can pay.........lolz | 23:15 |
| Senjai | AegisX, I do, it works fine | 23:15 |
| Chipzzz | induz_: yes | 23:15 |
| passthru | bazhang, in home I just gave up and i am just using it from cli. | 23:15 |
| mycosys | induz_ imo tho if you want a great KDE distro - you want SuSE, bloated as it is | 23:15 |
| induz_ | Chipzzz, di I have to re-install wine, Kdelive etc again | 23:15 |
| AegisX | Senjai: So IMAP works correctly etc? | 23:15 |
| * Senjai will brb | 23:15 | |
| sneakyimp | openbees: i accept chzbrger. lol. take it easy. | 23:15 |
| Senjai | AegisX, flawlessly :) | 23:15 |
| mycosys | induz_ you can just chose desktop at the login screen | 23:15 |
| GMH[win] | what distro and version of linux and window manager would y'all recommend for a (different) computer with a 1.3 GHz processor but with 3 GB of RAM? | 23:15 |
| JQQ | Q :: How do I decide if I should install 32 bit or 64 bit, I have 64 bit AMD on thsi comp and other comp is a new MBP... both have 64bit but is anything a pain in the rear with ubuntu 64bit? | 23:16 |
| bazhang | passthru, not sure what to suggest, I have had issues with network manager for a while and just don't use it. perhaps repeat your question every 10 minutes or so and see if someone else does use it | 23:16 |
| Senjai | AegisX, I get mail notifications from evo before my iphone, so... Evo > apple? | 23:16 |
| AegisX | Senjai: Thank you; I'll synchronise them right now :) | 23:16 |
| the_drow | how do I create a dkms config file? | 23:16 |
| leapy0yo | can i mount a .cue + .bin file? archieve management and nutrilis dont mont it | 23:16 |
| Abinadi | bazhang, I don't know what I just did, but I now have sound in my gues OS (windows) but the volume levels are very muted even when I crank them all the way open | 23:16 |
| induz_ | mycosys, somehow i dont get that privilage as selecting Gnome or KDE/ | 23:16 |
| openbees | sneakyimp: i was just kidding..please dont mind........ | 23:16 |
| bazhang | JQQ, 64bit is find | 23:16 |
| induz_ | how can i achieve that | 23:16 |
| mycosys | is session type induz_ | 23:16 |
| induz_ | I am the only one use here on this syatem now | 23:16 |
| Senjai | leapy0yo, Use FURIUS ISO.. lol | 23:16 |
| Chipzzz | induz_: it varies by application... you will have most but may have to reconfigure some | 23:16 |
| passthru | bazhang, yeah, i will become a bot . j/k :) | 23:16 |
| AegisX | Senjai: I use an Android phone, so that works well with Gmail. I've been thinking about synchronising everything, though, and Evolution seems to be a good way to do that. | 23:16 |
| Lint01 | GMH[win], performance depends on video card, not processor | 23:17 |
| pebblix | aplund: Then that was not the command you should have run was it ? ... -> "modprobe --list | grep -i ModuleName" is the correct thing to do :) | 23:17 |
| induz_ | how can i select KDE for desktop?? | 23:17 |
| Lint01 | induz_, install plasma-desktop | 23:17 |
| mycosys | under session type at the login screen induz_ | 23:17 |
| Senjai | AegisX, some people prefer thunderbird .. I personally don't care, don't need much from a mail client, just seperate my work and personal email and get it occasionally :) | 23:17 |
| passthru | bazhang, i am thinking in make a SH script with the most common wifi networks that i connect and just execute it on my netbook to connect. lol | 23:17 |
| wl_deav | GMH[win] distro to suit your needs - Ubuntu will run on that system but you may want to try something easier on your system | 23:17 |
| openbees | induz: during login by selecting session type | 23:17 |
| Oer | induz_, logout, select desktop, and login | 23:17 |
| Lint01 | or is it plasma-workspace? | 23:17 |
| Senjai | AegisX, has some issues with html emails sometime. (doesn't render all the images) | 23:18 |
| ohsix | induz_: install kubuntu-desktop, then pick the kde session from thelogin screen | 23:18 |
| Senjai | AegisX, Im still talking, need tea, brb | 23:18 |
| Chipzzz | indez_: when you are the other user, install it as your desktop (apt-get install), then the desktop will be different for the two users | 23:18 |
| AegisX | Senjai: Ah, didn't even think of Thunderbird... might have a look at that too. However, Evolution seems nicely integrated with Ubuntu's desktop. | 23:18 |
| AegisX | Senjai: Cool :) | 23:18 |
| Senjai | AegisX, it is, but mozilla made thunderbird, lol, I haven't tried it, brb!!! | 23:19 |
| Somelauw | If you uninstall gnome, will the login screen of gnome be replaced by a login screen of kde? | 23:19 |
| the_drow | I have downloaded a driver for a line6 soundcard, it worked but now I upgraded my kernel and for some reason it doesn't. I was told that using dkms will solve the problem. However, the driver lacks a dkms.config file. How do I create one? The driver has a make file | 23:19 |
| induz_ | some of my applications r KDE at GNOMe like KDlive | 23:19 |
| bazhang | Somelauw, you can choose between gdm and kdm | 23:19 |
| mufasis | i have an old hp server and it has fakeraid, i have it set to raid 1 and i installed ubuntu server, everything is working but when the server starts there is no grub and it goes straight to a log in, is this normal? | 23:19 |
| pebblix | AegisX: I have used Evolution for many years. I like it alot. | 23:19 |
| JQQ | Q:: Any reason to NOT use the wubi installer instead of CD? | 23:19 |
| AegisX | pebblix: It seems a fairly comprehensive and powerful organiser. Does it have any interesting functionalities? | 23:20 |
| yeats | JQQ: installing directly to hard disk is better supported if nothing else | 23:20 |
| the_drow | JQQ: Not that I know of, I am running wubi just fine | 23:20 |
| pebblix | JQQ: Safer to use the CD/DVD, incase the installer borks you have rescue mode :) | 23:20 |
| K|nG | I upgrade my ubuntu I run clean but why there still have an Old generic :S | 23:20 |
| Somelauw | wubi will be slightly slower so you can't play cool games | 23:20 |
| mufasis | anyone? | 23:20 |
| AegisX | Senjai: I've never really used anything by Mozilla... I'm not a huge fan of Firefox hehe | 23:21 |
| AlienBox | ActionParsnip, forgot to mention it takes a while to even load my router, which is a 192. ip, that should load instantly righ | 23:21 |
| induz_ | there are so many files on repo so which one to install or select? | 23:21 |
| Somelauw | But there aren't a lot of games for linux anyway | 23:21 |
| yeats | mufasis: if ubuntu is the only OS installed, it doesn't go to the GRUB menu | 23:21 |
| ActionParsnip | AlienBox: usually they are fast. they are just small PCs with low end hardware | 23:21 |
| Oer | mufasis, yes this is normal, if you want to enter grub menu, hold shift @ boot | 23:21 |
| induz_ | KDE plasma would un-install qt## something | 23:21 |
| pebblix | AegisX: Scheduling, ad integration, alerts and whatnot. Try it. | 23:21 |
| the_drow | so no one here knows dkms? :/ | 23:22 |
| mufasis | ahh ok, thank you guys | 23:22 |
| AegisX | pebblix: Will do. What about push email? | 23:22 |
| pebblix | the_drow: whats that ? | 23:22 |
| Chipzzz | induz_: look here: http://www.debianadmin.com/install-kde-desktop-in-ubuntu.html | 23:22 |
| AegisX | pebblix: Or is that just a standard function of IMAP? | 23:22 |
| openbees | senjai: everything is fine with thunderbird except his behavior with yahoo | 23:22 |
| induz_ | what about desktop themes for KDE | 23:22 |
| ohsix | man way too many links to blogs and first hits on google | 23:23 |
| JQQ | I just saw 32-bit (recommended) and thought 64 but was buggy? | 23:23 |
| pebblix | AegisX: No, i dont think so. And really, thats as bad as web-search-as-you-type :) | 23:23 |
| Senjai | openbees, Yahoo is nonexistant, forget it ever existed, it tried, it failed, it doesnt exist anymore :P | 23:23 |
| JQQ | but burning disc now | 23:23 |
| pebblix | AegisX: IE. System overload | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | induz_: www.kde-look.org | 23:23 |
| pebblix | :) | 23:23 |
| openbees | senjai: lolz thanks for the breaking news | 23:24 |
| Senjai | AegisX, ImapX maintains a constant TCP connection to google, so its updated as soon as google is updated. | 23:24 |
| AegisX | pebblix: Yeah, I hate it for work emails... but personal ones (which are much less in volume) are nice to get immediately. Guess one could just overcome that by changing the mail check frequency. | 23:24 |
| induz_ | should i install kde-core?? | 23:24 |
| AegisX | Senjai: Oh, is that a plugin or a standard feature/ | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | JQQ: 32bit gives a slightly smoother ride due to some companies only supporting 32bit, If you have acres of RAM then use 64bit. You can use 32bit + PAE kernel but each process will only see 3.2Gb but all your RAM will be useable by the OS | 23:24 |
| Senjai | AegisX, standard, its whats the difference between pop and imap | 23:25 |
| induz_ | the best choice would be kde for me | 23:25 |
| Senjai | pop is a single connection, download updates x times an hour. Imap is constant connection updates immediately, more bandwidth heavy | 23:25 |
| pebblix | AegisX: I just set it to poll every 10 minutes or so. Works nicely. It can handle all kinds of encryptions so ive not seen an isp that it has any issues with. | 23:25 |
| AlienBox | ActionParsnip, my speed to the internet resembles dial up in Ubuntu, and i'm on a maxspeed connect from my isp, a 30mbit connect which i only see in windows | 23:25 |
| AegisX | Senjai: Ah, nice. And does Evolution constantly run in the background? | 23:25 |
| Senjai | pop is a single connection, download updates x times an hour. Imap is constant connection updates immediately, more bandwidth heavy AegisX | 23:25 |
| mycosys | induz_ at the console just type "sudo aptitude install kde-desktop" | 23:25 |
| mycosys | will take care of it all | 23:25 |
| Senjai | AegisX, after you initially run it yes | 23:25 |
| AlienBox | ActionParsnip, could it be a mtu setting? the problem i mean for slow speed | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | AlienBox: what is the network chip used? | 23:26 |
| Senjai | AegisX, smtp is still used for outgoing mail though | 23:26 |
| ohsix | mycosys: theres a virtual to install everything properly | 23:26 |
| sam555 | isn't there a way in ubuntu to manuall remove the grub | 23:26 |
| Senjai | for both that is | 23:26 |
| bazinga2761 | How can I resize a VirtualBox hard drive? | 23:26 |
| StepNjump | Hi guys, can anyone suggest a free antivirus for Ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| bazinga2761 | clamav | 23:26 |
| AlienBox | realtek 8139 is the card, let me look to see if the chip is same | 23:26 |
| jkg | the bandwidth usage of IMAP isn't actually bad at all, although it is an extra open connection per user (or several...) if connection count matters to you | 23:26 |
| Senjai | StepNjump, You really don't need one | 23:26 |
| StepNjump | bazinga2761, I would just start over | 23:26 |
| the_drow | StepNjump: yeh, most viruses are for windows | 23:27 |
| sam555 | can I use an ubuntu live cd to edit the grub so that it will stop being the first thing called at start up so the computer can boot to windows? | 23:27 |
| induz_ | mycosys, thanks for clarification | 23:27 |
| ohsix | sam555: what do you mean remove? it needs to be replaced by something, another boot sector/loader | 23:27 |
| StepNjump | Senjai, yeah that's what I thought! lol | 23:27 |
| StepNjump | So nobody of you guys have one? | 23:27 |
| StepNjump | That's amazing | 23:27 |
| Chipzzz | sam555: if you are booting to grub now, just press space while the machine boots & you can edit grub | 23:27 |
| sam555 | ohsix: I thought there was a way to edit the grub so it wouldn't be the first thing called in the mbr | 23:27 |
| induz_ | wow!! its downloading something | 23:27 |
| pebblix | AegisX: Heres hot to AD: http://mange.dynalias.org/linux/misc/Novell_Evolution | 23:28 |
| induz_ | how much space KDE is going to take up?/ | 23:28 |
| Ebonwumon | I have an iso that i need to mount with the option nohide. | 23:28 |
| sam555 | Chipzzz: what would be the command to enter to get it to go into windows? | 23:28 |
| StepNjump | 10.10 is really amazing | 23:28 |
| ohsix | StepNjump: only insofar in that you actually need one on windows | 23:28 |
| pebblix | AegisX: HowTo :) | 23:28 |
| Ebonwumon | when I type mount -o ro, nohide it gives an error about it not being a block device. | 23:28 |
| Ebonwumon | How can I mount it? | 23:28 |
| mycosys | induz_ - it aint small | 23:28 |
| bazinga2761 | StepNjump: I have already installed windows and set up lots of setting and don't want to lose that. | 23:28 |
| bazinga2761 | I found this, but I'm new to Ubuntu and don't know how to interpret it: | 23:28 |
| bazinga2761 | p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; } VBoxManage modifyhd <uuid>|<filename> [--type normal|writethrough|immutable|shareable| readonly|multiattach] [--autoreset on|off] [--compact] [--resize <megabytes>|--resizebyte <bytes>] | 23:28 |
| FloodBot1 | bazinga2761: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | Ebonwumon: -o loop,nohide | 23:28 |
| mycosys | it would have told u before it dled | 23:28 |
| AegisX | pebblix: Ah, thanks for that | 23:28 |
| induz_ | mycosys, its getting installed | 23:28 |
| pebblix | AegisX: Np! | 23:28 |
| erUSUL | Ebonwumon: you do not need to specify ro for an iso | 23:28 |
| StepNjump | bazinga2761 gosh.. I haven't used vbox in a while | 23:29 |
| AegisX | Senjai and pebblix: Just setting up Evolution now :) | 23:29 |
| andeh` | f u combatex | 23:29 |
| induz_ | mycosys, 6-7 Gb? | 23:29 |
| StepNjump | ok ohsix | 23:29 |
| Senjai | StepNjump, Linux treats everything as a file! Unlike windows, it's a little harder to infect, it even treats user input as a file | 23:29 |
| Ebonwumon | erUSUL, it gives wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0 | 23:29 |
| Senjai | Aegis goodluck :) | 23:29 |
| Chipzzz | sam555: that depends on where windows is in your system... www.grub.org has good docs to look through | 23:29 |
| induz_ | Gnome is good but its all fonts and all are different for my eyes | 23:29 |
| AlienBox | ActionParsnip, i pasted it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/569390/ | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | Ebonwumon: are you usre is an iso image? did you add -t iso9660 ? | 23:30 |
| JustCJs | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 | 23:30 |
| * ohsix boggles at people ignoring things people have written to make stuff easier | 23:30 | |
| induz_ | i tried to correct/better look but still | 23:30 |
| induz_ | what display mamangement should i select ?? | 23:30 |
| StepNjump | Ok Senjai... didn't know that | 23:30 |
| * Senjai sighs with ohsix | 23:30 | |
| Ebonwumon | Yes, I did erUSUL. It's perplexing because it'll mount fine if I just double click on it, but I need the nohide option. | 23:30 |
| induz_ | GDM or KDM | 23:30 |
| brontosaurusrex | induz_, compared to what? | 23:30 |
| StepNjump | bazinga2761 here's what I found. Hope it helps http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/122/26/ | 23:30 |
| Senjai | StepNjump, though, still stay smart about what you install :) | 23:30 |
| induz_ | as i have Gnome alreday in my system | 23:30 |
| pebblix | AegisX: I have used it alot on a few dists, upgraded dists about 15 times and its pretty solid. Sometimes itll say that this and that will change or something but all my datas are intact since about year 2000 or so. | 23:31 |
| AlienBox | sorry if i missed anything you typed, but i don't have a scrollback buffer for some reason | 23:31 |
| StepNjump | senjai, right of course | 23:31 |
| induz_ | mycosys, its asking me to select between KDM or GDm? | 23:31 |
| bazinga2761 | thanks! | 23:31 |
| bazinga2761 | quit | 23:31 |
| mycosys | either is fine induz_ | 23:31 |
| Senjai | ARGGH, brb :( | 23:31 |
| sam555 | thanks Chipzzz | 23:31 |
| StepNjump | I can't wait to phase out my windoze completely | 23:31 |
| Oer | induz_, why should fonts look different on Gnome/KDE ? | 23:31 |
| erUSUL | Ebonwumon: well maybe the program that mounts it on double click is clever and know how to mount bin files nrg images ( nero ) and the like. mount only knows about iso and if the image is not iso it will fail | 23:31 |
| StepNjump | bazinga2761 did you get my link? | 23:32 |
| induz_ | mycosys, Ok i can select later | 23:32 |
| AegisX | pebblix: Wow, that's pretty impressive. | 23:32 |
| induz_ | Oer, its not fonts but the lok | 23:32 |
| Chipzzz | sam555: glad to help | 23:32 |
| Ebonwumon | The image is most definitely an ISO. It'll mount fine with just "mount -o unhide /iso /mnt" on arch linux | 23:32 |
| Ebonwumon | So it's definitely an Ubuntu error erUSUL | 23:32 |
| induz_ | actually i am more comfortable with KDElive so i want KDE | 23:32 |
| AegisX | pebblix: I don't mind accessing Gmail via the net, but sometimes it's nice to just have stuff on the PC | 23:32 |
| Oer | induz_, have fun :-) | 23:33 |
| Docfxit | I'm getting an error saying: Error while loading shared libraries: libhal.so.1 | 23:33 |

| StepNjump | ohsix oh ok thanks. Is it available through synaptic? | 23:33 |
| induz_ | Oer, ok | 23:33 |
| ohsix | StepNjump: yes | 23:33 |
| StepNjump | awsome, thanks bro | 23:33 |
| mycosys | if you want all the extra apps - add kubuntu-desktop induz_ | 23:33 |
| pebblix | AegisX: I thnk that program also has gmail integration. Edit->Plugins and see if its in there. | 23:34 |
| mycosys | will add all of kubuntu to ur system | 23:34 |
| induz_ | somehow i had lots of packages from KDE | 23:34 |
| JustCJs | sam555: nothing that can go wrong.. unless drive serial of core.img is altered | 23:34 |
| Ebonwumon | ... lol erUSUL, I'm stupid. Thanks heaps. | 23:34 |
| mycosys | induz - you had them to run kde apps | 23:34 |
| induz_ | mycosys, let me see if KDElive works better on KDE | 23:34 |
| erUSUL | Ebonwumon: :) | 23:34 |
| pebblix | AegisX: It could also be an addon module | 23:34 |
| Chipzzz | Docfixit: try sudo apt-get check, or does the system not come up at all? | 23:34 |
| StepNjump | ohsix. Ok hope it works | 23:35 |

| StepNjump | ohsix you would be the first one I could help here lol | 23:35 |
| cambazz | where can i start to debug | 23:35 |
| pebblix | AegisX: Do that. | 23:35 |
| StepNjump | cuz i'm green on *nix | 23:35 |
| Docfxit | Chipzzz, Ubuntu comes up. The app doesn't come up. | 23:35 |
| bazhang | induz_, it wont. just try something else, or fix the issues with kdenlive | 23:35 |
| induz_ | kdenlive is a video programm for editing | 23:35 |
| pebblix | AegisX: Nice talking to you btw. Have a great time! | 23:36 |
| bazhang | induz_, I know that | 23:36 |
| induz_ | kdelive is based on KDE i was told | 23:36 |

| induz_ | bazhang, i can always un-install it if i dont like it | 23:37 |
| brontosaurusrex | induz_, i did actually finished a project or two with kdenlive and i think its a good choice if you are looking for an OS app | 23:37 |

| AegisX | Senjai: And thanks to you, too :) | 23:37 |
| pebblix | AegisX: Np! | 23:37 |
| mycosys | induz_ DE = desktop environment | 23:37 |
| bazhang | induz_, better to fix the errors with kdenlive, try another editor than install all of kubuntu-desktop which is a huge install and wont fix the kdenlive issues | 23:38 |
| mycosys | kde and gnome are DEs | 23:38 |
| brontosaurusrex | mycosys, i wonder if jashaka is actually capable of actually producing any output? | 23:38 |
| Docfxit | Chipzzz, It installes fine. When I run it from terminal I get the error. | 23:38 |
| brontosaurusrex | -actually | 23:38 |
| induz_ | brontosaurusrex, I dont know why my kdenlive crashes few times | 23:38 |
| mycosys | no idea bronto | 23:38 |
| induz_ | brontosaurusrex, i like kdenlive as it takes my video direct from USB port and i dont have to compress/decompress them | 23:39 |

| sexcopter | easy question, for ssh, how do I "state" the option "-L 5900:localhost:5900" in the ~/.ssh/config file? The ssh_config manpage is confusing me! | 23:39 |
| Docfxit | Chipzzz, no. I installed it with software center. | 23:40 |
| AegisX | Senjai: Understood, thanks! | 23:40 |
| mycosys | induz_ yup | 23:40 |

| Jordan_U | !root | Docfxit pebblix | 23:41 |
| ubottu | Docfxit pebblix: 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 | 23:41 |

| Jordan_U | !gksudo | Chipzzz | 23:43 |
| ubottu | Chipzzz: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 23:43 |
| MrFricks | ubuntus hard! | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Chipzzz: use gksudo with nautilus, sudo is NOT for gui apps | 23:43 |
| pebblix | ActionParsnip, bazhang: Impressive :) .. but isnt it better to be root as opposed to trying to be root ? Or are you just trying to be original ? (You can crew up the system worse by thinking you "just" su:ed i think) | 23:43 |
| MrFricks | pebblix: roots good | 23:43 |
| Chipzzz | sorry... ubottu is right... gksudo is fine | 23:44 |
| pebblix | MrFricks: Agreed | 23:44 |
| Jordan_U | Chipzzz: And you don't need to be running nautilus as root to open a .deb file with gdebi or Software Center (the default app for opeining .deb files). | 23:44 |
| MrFricks | no passwords.... | 23:44 |
| MrFricks | happydays! | 23:44 |
| StepNjump | does anyone know how to run clamav from the terminal? | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | pebblix: no, sudo -i gives an interactive sudo which is closer to how you'd use it with single commands | 23:44 |
| erUSUL | !info clamtk | StepNjump | 23:44 |

| JeffCBR | I think the no-root Ubuntu system is good for making sure that authorized users don't screw anything up, but doesn't really do much to increase security from outside threats. | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: for more options, read: man clamscan as Somelauw said | 23:46 |

| induz_ | brontosaurusrex, have u used openshot? | 23:46 |
| induz_ | how is it/ | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip | MrFricks: shouldn't do. What method did you use? | 23:46 |

| ActionParsnip | Somelauw: its to help protect windows users from each other in fileservers as well as a must on emal servers | 23:47 |

| MrFricks | ActionParsnip: just a regular no-console install of an app from the repository required two passwords | 23:48 |
| erUSUL | JeffCBR: yes. | 23:48 |
| brontosaurusrex | induz_, at one point i tested them all, however due to my professional deformation i can't really stand anything that does not grasp the two players concept (player, recorder) so irc kdenlive was the one that actually passed the 1st test... | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | MrFricks: so software centre was used then? | 23:48 |
| IdleOne | MrFricks: you probably entered it wrong the first time | 23:48 |
| mycosys | MrFricks - sudo su or sudo bash wil give you a root console - what is the hassle??? | 23:49 |
| Docfxit | When I do cd \tmp I get an error saying: no such file or directory. How can I change to the folder tmp? | 23:49 |

| hilarie | Any idea's on how to get more speed steps? (my laptop overheats at 2.1. but not 1.05, so wanted to fine toon somewhere in between | 23:49 |
| IdleOne | Docfxit: /tmp not \tmp | 23:49 |

| induz_ | brontosaurusrex, I was using FCP but some of my video r .avi format so i have to go to iMovie then to FCP | 23:49 |

| induz_ | brontosaurusrex, so i started searching for linux version and so far i like dkdenlive | 23:50 |
| LogicallyDashing | I made a custom LiveCD. It won't boot because various folders are missing, only I can only find out which ones they are one-at-a-time by making the .iso again and getting errors when I boot it. How do I just generate the lot of these folders? I think they're all in /var. | 23:50 |
| MrFricks | mycosys: if it's that simple to be root anyway.. what's the difference in being root usually? | 23:50 |
| hilarie | http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&client=ubuntu&channel=cs&ie=UTF-8&q=Why+root+is+bad+ubuntu | 23:51 |
| JeffCBR | MrFricks: You can't accidentally do something to fry your whole system. | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | MrFricks: logging on as root means ALL the processes will run as root which is hugely unsecure | 23:51 |
| IdleOne | MrFricks: the difference is you don't need to be root if you use sudo. Can you please drop it now and let's get back to stuff we do support. | 23:51 |
| MrFricks | JeffCBR: i don't need to be protected from myself | 23:51 |

| GMH[win] | what's a shortcut to the terminal window? | 23:51 |
| ActionParsnip | MrFricks: especially for IRC clients and web browsers where attacks from users and malicious scripts in pages will inherit the access of the process and get FULL system access. Access to your EMAIL, stored PASSWORD. EVERYTING | 23:52 |

| JeffCBR | MrFricks: If you really want to use the root account with Ubuntu, it's pretty easy to enable it, so what is the point of your argument? | 23:52 |
| erUSUL | Docfxit: sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 23:52 |
| GMH[win] | lol | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Docfxit: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/filename.deb | 23:52 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip: To be fair, they would get access to your email and stored passwords running under your user as well... | 23:52 |
| GMH[win] | thanks anyway :) | 23:52 |
| hilarie | Your arguement's against root, are the exact oposite of your arguements against antivirus's though | 23:52 |

| Mike__ | hi. I have a problem with my vncserver. i found a config what i have copyed to /etc/init.d/vncserver. Then i typed update-rc.d vncserver defaults. When i run from terminal /etc/init.d/vncserver start, than everything works fine. I can connect to server, i can start programs, etc... But when i reboot, and the server starts automatically, then when i connect to the server i can't start programs or anyting. So what can be the problem ? | 23:55 |
| erUSUL | carlos82: System>Admin...>Software sources||updates tab at the bottom. change lts only to normal | 23:55 |
| ActionParsnip | MrFricks: think about it though. many talented Linux users coded and configured the OS to be as it is, so enabling it goes against their good idea. Do you think you know better? | 23:55 |
| ohsix | MrFricks: did it take away a choice you wanted to make, or was it different from how you like it; it's an important distinction | 23:56 |
| erUSUL | jsw_: elevator is the i/o scheduler | 23:56 |
| mycosys | MrFricks - havign a 4 character user with a lot of power that is on every system makes em much easier to hack | 23:56 |
| carlos82 | erUSUL: i was do this | 23:56 |
| mycosys | if they have to find username and pass it is much harder | 23:56 |
| jsw_ | erUSUL: I suppose this is system-wide and not per-filesystem or per-device? | 23:56 |
| induz_ | brontosaurusrex, only problem in Kdenlive is i have to shft between viewer and final monitor | 23:56 |
| carlos82 | but it dont show me the upgrade option | 23:56 |
| erUSUL | jsw_: system wide yes | 23:56 |
| jsw_ | so since I have a mix of HDD and SSD I/O I guess I'll have to find out experimentally which works better for me | 23:56 |
| bazhang | carlos82, you on LTS? | 23:57 |
| Docfxit | After installing doublecmd with root I get the same error: error while loading shared libraries: libhal.so.1 | 23:57 |
| induz_ | brontosaurusrex, I dont know how can i get both viewer and project display working on kdenlive | 23:57 |
| ohsix | it really is moot though, sudo -s gets your a root shell with your credentials and sudo's gr8stuff | 23:57 |
| carlos82 | erUSUL: i have this config before | 23:57 |
| j1tters | exit | 23:57 |
| jsw_ | Is there anything special I should do when re-partitioning and re-mkfsing to make sure currently used blocks are free'd in the SSD? | 23:57 |

| itaylor57 | ActionParsnip: the subtley of the design is lost on many | 23:58 |
| jsw_ | ohsix: It is an OCZ Vertex II and the marketing materials say it has TRIM support. I added discard,noatime to /etc/fstab and re-mounted | 23:59 |

| mamece2 | i cant boot ubuntu 10.04 32 bit. a message appears: ubuntu is running in low graph mode, it never boots GUI. ctrl+alt+F7 brings tht modprobe vboxfailed | 23:59 |
