ardchoille | jbsoum: right click your panel, choose "add to panel". In the list of panel applets, choose what you want, but y ou want to add the Notification Area applet at least | 00:01 |
bc81 | jbsoum: killing xchat will get the icon back (that seems like a bug, where the panel eats the icon when killed) all your shortcuts are gone (that is the whole point of resetting to default) | 00:01 |
_Nash | Does anyone know why an AMD processor would be "AMD Processor model unknown" under both 10.04 and Win7? | 00:02 |
ardchoille | bc81: yeah, I've seen that bug myself | 00:02 |
edbian | bc81, jbsoum The xchat icon might come back if you add 'notification area' to the panel | 00:02 |
Starminn | edbian: If memory serves me right it's there by default | 00:02 |
edbian | Starminn, ahhh, perhaps | 00:02 |
ardchoille | Starminn: good point | 00:02 |
Starminn | edbian ardchoille: :) | 00:03 |
bc81 | removing then adding notification area, may restroe xchat icon ? | 00:03 |
bc81 | restore* | 00:03 |
jbsoum | ok i messed with xchat settings and got it back, thanks guys | 00:03 |
jbsoum | i unchecked enable system tray and clicked ok, then reenabled | 00:03 |
edbian | bc81, It's worth a shot. Stopping and restarting xchat is more likely | 00:03 |
daniel | good morning | 00:04 |
jbsoum | but, im wondering what caused my panel to get messed up in the first place? | 00:04 |
ardchoille | jbsoum: define "messed up". | 00:04 |
ardchoille | Maybe someone can help you avoid that in the future | 00:04 |
Starminn | ardchoille: (06:45:14 PM) jbsoum: hey all, im having an issue with my panel. it seems everytime i boot up the icons end up missing, displaying incorrectly, or are in the wrong place. any thoughts? | 00:05 |
ardchoille | ouch | 00:06 |
jbsoum | lol i was typing that again, thanks starminn lol | 00:06 |
ardchoille | not sure why that would happen | 00:06 |
jbsoum | nor am i | 00:06 |
Starminn | jbsoum: :) | 00:06 |
Starminn | jbsoum: By the way, that happened to me a while back to. Running "killall gnome-panel" (which was part of the command you ran) fixed it for good it seems. | 00:06 |
Reallycool | how do I change the tty resolution? | 00:07 |
ardchoille | jbsoum: which version of ubuntu are you running? | 00:07 |
bc81 | jbsoum: do you lock things in place on your panel? | 00:07 |
jbsoum | oh wow, for good huh? well i hope thats the case. quick question Starminn, do you run compz fusion? bc81, no, should i? ardchoille, 10.10 | 00:07 |
Mikazuki_Neko | ##roleplay | 00:08 |
Starminn | jbsoum bc81: Locking didn't fix it when it happened to me. Only thing that helped was resetting it. | 00:08 |
Starminn | jbsoum: Yes, I do. | 00:08 |
ardchoille | jbsoum: it's a good idea. right click each applet and choose "Lock to panel" when the applet is where you want it. Thanks bc81 | 00:08 |
comeback89 | close | 00:08 |
jbsoum | ok, ill try the locking, just in case, Starminn, i also run compiz and i was wondering if it was the cause of my problems. but if that one reset fixed everything for you, then im hopeful | 00:10 |
detrix42 | I need some help figuring out why my system plays flash video just fine, but any video I play with vlc, or movie player, I get no video, just sound. I have the restricted driver installed. acually the video does work once in a while, so I am not sure whats causing it to not work. | 00:10 |
jbsoum | ill try locking stuff to my panel, anyway | 00:10 |

edbian | detrix42, The video did not play either way? | 00:13 |

elementz | hi all. i am absolutely confused. i want to change the scrollingspeed of my mouse. but where is the right location to do so? if i properly understand it, xorg.conf is the wrong place now. should i use evdev? and if yes, how would i do it? | 00:14 |
elementz | maybe somebody can point me to a proper location? | 00:14 |
detrix42 | edbian: thanks for trying | 00:14 |
edbian | elementz, system -> preferences -> mouse ;) | 00:15 |
Starminn | edbian: I thought the same thing and looked but I don't see it. | 00:15 |
edbian | Starminn, elementz mmmm, true. I'll google it :) | 00:15 |
ardchoille | elementz: as edbian pointed out, go to General tab and look at "Pointer Speed" | 00:15 |
edbian | ardchoille, That's not scrolling speed | 00:15 |
elementz | i don't want to change mouse speed | 00:16 |
ardchoille | ah, sorry | 00:16 |
elementz | yep | 00:16 |

ardchoille | !puregnome | doomrobo | 00:19 |
ubottu | doomrobo: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome | 00:19 |
makaveli0129 | guest55970, i use eclipse | 00:19 |
Guest55970 | how did you install eclipse | 00:19 |
makaveli0129 | guest55970, synaptic | 00:19 |
doomrobo | I've seen it but it uninstalls some programs I need | 00:20 |
doomrobo | like all qt related programs | 00:20 |
ardchoille | doomrobo: kde is built using the qt toolkit | 00:20 |
Starminn | doomrobo: What I had to do was adjust the programs by hand. Remove/install via Software Center | 00:20 |
Starminn | doomrobo: Unfortunately I couldn't find a better way after quite some time Googling around. | 00:21 |
doomrobo | that's unfortunate | 00:21 |
doomrobo | I should have thought twice before dabbling in KDE | 00:21 |

KucukMubasir | hi guys, I am trying to kill gdm by typing "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" but I get "stop: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call" etc. in return | 00:22 |
KucukMubasir | what might be the problem? | 00:22 |
CkhiKuzad | ._. What would I have to do to install Unity? Like what would I need to install | 00:23 |
aeon-ltd | KucukMubasir: no idea, but what about running it with sudo? | 00:23 |
KucukMubasir | I did aeon-ltd | 00:23 |
KucukMubasir | oh wait | 00:23 |
ardchoille | gdm is a service. so shouldn't it be "sudo service gdm stop" ? | 00:24 |
edbian | CkhiKuzad, sudo apt-get install unity | 00:24 |
edbian | CkhiKuzad, You should try google first next time | 00:24 |
CkhiKuzad | Edbian, I've tried both using Apt and Google. | 00:24 |
KucukMubasir | wow it worked aeon-ltd , thanks | 00:25 |
ActionParsnip | hey guys is there a cli image uploader like pastebinit please? | 00:25 |
CkhiKuzad | Just tried it again, E: Could not find package unity | 00:25 |
KucukMubasir | ardchoille: that is equivalent to mine | 00:25 |
ardchoille | CkhiKuzad: it's not in your repos | 00:25 |
pixartist2 | hi | 00:25 |
edbian | CkhiKuzad, sudo apt-get unity didn't work? | 00:26 |
ardchoille | CkhiKuzad: are you on Ubuntu 10.10? | 00:26 |
CkhiKuzad | I am on 10.04 | 00:26 |
ardchoille | that's why | 00:26 |
pixartist2 | I need help upgrading ubuntu via ssh console | 00:26 |
aeon-ltd | KucukMubasir: heh, but that might actually be a problem that could pop up later | 00:26 |
CkhiKuzad | Well what Repositories do I need to get Unity? | 00:26 |
ActionParsnip | pixartist2: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade | 00:26 |
KucukMubasir | aeon-ltd: , such as? | 00:26 |
ardchoille | CkhiKuzad: try this http://digitizor.com/2010/05/10/how-to-install-unity-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ | 00:27 |
pixartist2 | ActionParsnip I already tried upgrading via sudo do-release-upgrade | 00:27 |
edbian | pixartist2, sudo apt-get safe-upgrade | 00:27 |
pixartist2 | and now ssh won't start | 00:27 |
CkhiKuzad | Anright thanks ardchoille | 00:27 |
pixartist2 | and it's a virtual dedicated server | 00:27 |
CkhiKuzad | alright** | 00:27 |
lloyd-ggggggg | I can't get my microphone to work on my laptop through the analogue input. When the microphone is plugged in, instead of capturing sound from my microphone, it captures sound from my audio. THis is a headset plugged into my laptop | 00:27 |
KucukMubasir | how may I reboot from command line now? | 00:28 |
ardchoille | CkhiKuzad: hold on, don't do that one | 00:28 |
pixartist2 | so I can still start in repair mode, but I don't know how to fix ssl/scp | 00:28 |
KucukMubasir | oh reboot | 00:28 |
KucukMubasir | sudo reboot | 00:28 |
CkhiKuzad | I just started, but I C-Ced it. | 00:28 |
ardchoille | CkhiKuzad: here are some tutorials http://tinyurl.com/4u7rrra | 00:28 |
pixartist2 | ActionParsnip any idea? | 00:28 |
ardchoille | CkhiKuzad: That one I linked earlier has an update stating the tutorials doesn't work anymore | 00:28 |
ActionParsnip | pixartist2: do you mean to go to the next release? | 00:29 |
pixartist2 | I did sudo do-release-upgrade | 00:29 |
pixartist2 | so I guess it installed the latest | 00:29 |
ActionParsnip | pixartist2: what release are you currently on? | 00:29 |
pixartist2 | I can't check, no ssh :D | 00:29 |
ardchoille | CkhiKuzad: Keep in mind that the unity that is based on mutter is slow, the one based on compiz is much faster but they're still a work in progress | 00:29 |
CkhiKuzad | -.- I'll just do it myself, apparently "RTFM" or "Google it" functions as a perfectly legitimate answer now. Thank you so much. | 00:29 |
pixartist2 | the repair console is on 8.04 | 00:29 |
ActionParsnip | pixartist2: so how are you running the commands? | 00:29 |
pixartist2 | ActionParsnip which commands ? it WAS on 8.04 | 00:30 |
ActionParsnip | !upgrade | 00:30 |
ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 00:30 |
ActionParsnip | pixartist2: you may need to edit the file mentioned in the upgrade notes, use the server method | 00:30 |
makaveli0129 | i need somebodies help with zoneminder i'm in about a week now and still can't figure this thing out can someone help me? | 00:30 |
pixartist2 | ActionParsnip I don't know how to do that/which file, I'm pretty much a linux newb | 00:31 |
ardchoille | CkhiKuzad: well, to be honest, if you had done some research you wouldn't have had to ask here. Much of the time our answers involve us googling for you. | 00:31 |
gohan4748 | www.uscellur.com | 00:31 |
CkhiKuzad | Well how do I install the one based on Compiz? Or should I just google that too, rather than asking for some help? | 00:31 |
pixartist2 | ActionParsnip Also I did not see any upgrade notes | 00:31 |

coraxx | bc81: xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update didn't work :-( | 00:32 |
pixartist2 | ActionParsnip I upgraded with sudo do-release-upgrade, rebooted, and now I can't access the server via SSH when I boot the upgraded OS, I can only access the files via repair mode, which is a seperate instance of ubuntu on version 8.04 | 00:33 |
pixartist2 | ActionParsnip so I absolutely don't know how to get ssh running again just by modifying files and rebooting | 00:33 |
bc81 | coraxx: as i said, i don't know how to fix it, was just giving you general info. did you try unchecking that and logging out/in? possibly that is what is preventing the folders' locale names from being updated | 00:33 |
theperfecttaco | Can anyone help with a grub rescue problem? | 00:34 |
bc81 | coraxx: but, re-ask your question, mabe someone else who just logged in can help you | 00:34 |

coraxx | bc81: I will ... (I was just updating you in regards to my finding with your suggestion) ...your attempt was aprreciated :-) | 00:35 |
pixartist2 | ActionParsnip well, what exactly does that mean ? :( The support guy said, that it's technically possible to do what I did, but he can't give me support for any other version than 8.04 | 00:35 |

coraxx | hey all... a question ... when you have logged in to Ubuntu in a different language and you've by accident chosen "Update names" (the home directories names) ...and you want to change them back to the original English...how is that done ? anyone ? | 00:35 |
bc81 | coraxx: got it ;-) thanks for keeping me posted, i hope you find the answer | 00:35 |

Macstheyjustsuck | bc81_: It worked on the USB port it was on, then I took it off like I usually do when it's charged, came back, plugged it back in, it says it's in USB mode and it shows up in Computer, and it just didn't work right after that | 00:48 |
jrib | aroman: ? | 00:48 |
Macstheyjustsuck | bc81_: I did try other USB ports | 00:48 |
Macstheyjustsuck | bc81_: And I've confirmed that all of the USB ports worked | 00:48 |

bc81_ | Macstheyjustsuck: you reboot the PC, and/or the PSP? | 00:48 |
jrib | aroman: maybe I'm just using my terminal then. You are probably right. | 00:48 |
Macstheyjustsuck | bc81_: Both after it didn't work and neither fixed it. | 00:48 |

ardchoille | Thank you sir :) | 00:53 |
dataviruset | ActionParsnip: i don't know if i need one... ubuntu "finds" the nic and doesn't say anything about it. it's a server | 00:53 |

cyberjunk502_ | when i download something with package manager it gives full speed but with uget it never past 30KB/s | 01:01 |
extra11 | :) | 01:01 |
cyberjunk502_ | my connection full speed is 250KB/s | 01:01 |
ActionParsnip | cyberjunk502_: possibly the server you are getting updates from is physically closer than the servers you are downloading stuff from?? | 01:01 |
realjoe | ohsix what do you mean by udev assembling it? | 01:01 |
ohsix | goguda: you don't have a compiler that targets arm-elf-gcc installed | 01:02 |
ohsix | realjoe: "hot plug" | 01:02 |
cyberjunk502_ | i had windows 7 previously which gave me 250KB/s | 01:02 |
goguda | ohsix, Ok. What can I do to get that? | 01:02 |
bc81_ | cyberjunk502_: net speed is independant of the OS | 01:02 |
ardchoille | ohsix: just noticed gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi in the repos. would that help goguda ? | 01:02 |
goguda | I'll give it a try :) | 01:03 |
cyberjunk502_ | actionparsnip: it happens for every site i download from | 01:03 |
realjoe | ohsix so ubuntu will recognize the hdd automatically and I can add it to md0, but adding a device to md0 no matter if preexisting or hot plugged needs manual intervention`? | 01:03 |
ohsix | ardchoille: might, who knows; chances are you need to build your own or use a toolchain blob | 01:03 |
ardchoille | goguda: It's just a guess, and see what ohsix just said | 01:03 |
cyberjunk502_ | bc81: i know that but it happens | 01:04 |
ActionParsnip | cyberjunk502_: what network chip are you using? | 01:04 |
goguda | ohsix: The tutorial I am following isn't too specific, it just says "compile toolchain" which I have no idea how to do that... | 01:04 |
ohsix | goguda: a peripheral iphone project or the toolchain that's in common use will be somewhere | 01:05 |
goguda | ohsix: I'm lost. I found a file called build-toolchain.sh... I'm guessing it has something to do with that? | 01:06 |
ohsix | goguda: no idea, could be; there should be a readme or something like it to tell you how to get started, or a pointer to another project that maintains the toolchain | 01:07 |
goguda | ohsix: I'll look for a readme. | 01:07 |
bonez2046 | is there any applet/template/tool/procedure list that prints envelopes simply, without much trial and error? | 01:08 |
cyberjunk502 | let me get this straight suppose i am downloading a deb file from package manager it gives speed like 100 -150 but the same file downloaded form uget or gwget gives 30KB/s Why? | 01:09 |
ActionParsnip | cyberjunk502: no idea, what network chip are you using? | 01:09 |

Rask | Simple and quick-like... if I'm building a new machine and I want it to be as painless as possible to linux it... nVidia or ATI? :) | 01:09 |
goguda | ohsix: Found the readme :). Looks a lot simpler to follow than the online tutorial. I think the guy who wrote the tutorial didn't really know how to speak english... | 01:10 |
ActionParsnip | cyberjunk502: ok, realtek make at least 5 chips I can think of easily, can you narrow it down? | 01:10 |
ActionParsnip | cyberjunk502: have you disabled ipv6 too, assuming you don't use it | 01:10 |
ohsix | cyberjunk502: try that with a different mirror; they probably throttle connections that don't have a certain user agent, to favor package upgrades from the OS | 01:10 |
cyberjunk502 | actionparnish: yes i have disabled ipv6 | 01:10 |
ohsix | goguda: people writing tutorials generally don't know what they're doing, english or not :P it's an ill conceived set of steps they sort of made do with, then immediately saw the need to write it down | 01:11 |
cyberjunk502 | ohsix: thank you | 01:11 |
goguda | ohsix: I think you're right ;). This readme is making so much more sense... I can't believe I didn't even THINK of the readme file before. | 01:11 |

cyberjunk502 | actionparsnip: i cant tell you which realtek chip i am using because i am not a home right now | 01:12 |
ActionParsnip | cyberjunk502: then you need to find out using: sudo lshw -C network; lsusb and you can find out | 01:13 |
cyberjunk502 | Actionparsnip: i am using different Pc | 01:13 |

awayup277 | i do not know why it is doing this, it did this on a differet laptop also | 01:17 |
ohsix | Rask: ati has free drivers available, so they'll get better in the future and keep up with sweeping graphics changes up and down the stack, but nvidias are pretty good now, but can cause hitching and generally muddle realtime stuff on the machines where its used | 01:17 |
ohsix | Rask: and nouveau is progressing | 01:18 |
Rask | ohsix: What is hitching? | 01:18 |
bc81_ | quietone: i dont understand, you said: "In my home is directory, 'www'. If I 'cd ~/Desktop; ls ..' the directory www is not listed. why cd Desktop, if the folder you're loooking for is in your home directory? | 01:18 |
NinjaJeff | Does ATI have anything like CUDA? | 01:18 |
ohsix | Rask: long pauses that keep other things from running in a timely manner, important for audio and can really be annoying otherwise | 01:18 |
Rask | hmm. | 01:19 |
Rask | ohsix: I'm not a high-demand user, really, I just want Compiz to run smoothly. Which would be better? | 01:19 |
ohsix | NinjaJeff: not like the language, though i think they came up with one; but they've had gpu processing on their stuff before nvidia did, and last time i checked it was "better", at least with folding and some of the projects that can use either | 01:19 |
ohsix | Rask: i dunno, my portables are intel; when i did use nvidia on my 8800gtx a long time ago, it wasn't working great with compiz, but i'm sure that's changed since | 01:20 |

ActionParsnip | amh345: all players can play all formats as there is a central repository of codecs in the OS | 01:41 |
bc81_ | Roasted: suggestions, restart rythmbox, and/or remount your player | 01:41 |
ActionParsnip | amh345: if one can play a format, so can the others. I recommend you install both as they will pull in a lot of codecs | 01:41 |
Roasted | bc81_, been there. :( | 01:41 |
amh345 | ActionParsnip: i had some issues playing iso videos and .vobs | 01:41 |
ActionParsnip | amh345: also add the medibuntu repo and install w32codecs as well as ubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:42 |
Roasted | bc81_, only thing I havent done is turn the thing off and back on... let me try that | 01:42 |
amh345 | ActionParsnip: thanks. will do! | 01:42 |
ActionParsnip | amh345: vlc and mplayer can play them as file, just use the file menu | 01:42 |
bc81_ | Roasted: good idea, maybe it hasn't updated it's internal media library yet | 01:42 |
jvargas | hi | 01:44 |
amh345 | im running ubuntu server.. and the command line use to have nice small fonts. then i installed ubuntu-desktop and all the fonts in terminal are huge. what the heck happened? | 01:45 |
jvargas | how do I remove samba from startup? I already performed update-rc.d but it doesn't works. | 01:45 |
Roasted | bc81_, no dice, but under import errors it has 2 .SYS files that were listed. "The MIME type of the file could not be identified." | 01:45 |
uRock | amh345, have you installed graphics drivers? | 01:46 |
Starminn | amh354: You could just try changing the Temrinal fonts. Edit->Profile Preference | 01:46 |
Starminn | Preferences* | 01:46 |
Jayro | hey, do youi guys think dualbooting on a 250gb HD is ok? | 01:46 |
Jayro | its a netbook | 01:47 |
amh345 | uRock: originally it was just default. then when i got the desktop i enabled my nvidia restricted driver | 01:47 |
Starminn | Jayro: What is your concern about it? not having enough space? | 01:47 |
Jayro | yeah | 01:47 |
Jayro | wait | 01:47 |
Jayro | nvm | 01:47 |
Jayro | im stupid., lol., | 01:47 |
uRock | Jayro, you have plenty of space for a quintiple boot | 01:47 |
mickster04 | Jayro: well i would recommend keep all your music oin the windows partition, giving ubuntu the smaller partition | 01:47 |
Starminn | Jayro: :) | 01:47 |
uRock | *quintuple | 01:48 |
SodaPhish | anyone know if libjavaplugin_jni.so works as a javaplugin in firefox? | 01:48 |
Jayro | if i already have windows installed, can i shrink the partition without fucking up windows? | 01:48 |

SodaPhish | defrag first. | 01:49 |
steiner | what is the best networked fps? | 01:49 |
SodaPhish | bc81_: whatever you gotta tell yourself bro. troll elsewhere though, 'cause its boring. | 01:49 |
mickster04 | !best | 01:49 |
ubottu | 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. | 01:49 |
uRock | SodaPhish, quit harrassing people | 01:50 |
SodaPhish | steiner: try uranterror | 01:50 |
bc81_ | SodaPhish: you should keep your remarks to yourself, unless they are support related. thank you | 01:50 |
mickster04 | SodaPhish: you tell someone else not to troll? a clever troll indeed | 01:50 |
steiner | excuse me, what is the most popular and widely used fps? | 01:50 |
SodaPhish | steiner: I say UrbanTerror | 01:51 |
SodaPhish | but watch out, its addictive. | 01:51 |
mickster04 | !ot | steiner | 01:51 |

goguda | ohsix: I tried to follow the steps to making the toolchain, but right at the very end I get the error: Failed to apply patch for t-arm-elf (stage: gcc_patch) | 01:53 |
Flannel | Sure it is. It's not the best sort of question to ask here (because its purely an opinion), but it's ontopic enough. | 01:53 |
Roasted | Rhythmbox isn't detecting any music on my sandisk media player, but there's about 7gb worth. Oddly, it'l pick up some music, but only the music on the micro sd card within the sandisk player - it doesn't recognize the onboard storage. Any ideas? | 01:53 |
Roasted | <3 tsimp | 01:54 |
joljam | I am getting the message "Unable to seek on /dev/sda" when use sudo fdisk -l | 01:54 |
Senjai | Thanks tsimpson | 01:54 |
Flannel | Senjai: You instigated it in the first place. | 01:54 |
ohsix | goguda: if the patches dont apply you might have to track down specific versions | 01:54 |
daniel | can anyone tell me how to install this file from "http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/2010/05/sbfflash.html" | 01:55 |
goguda | ohsix: O.o | 01:55 |
daniel | i run ubuntu 10.10 | 01:55 |
Roasted | nice, and banshee is crashing right away when I open it | 01:56 |
aperson | Roasted↳ notsomuch a solution, but I hear clementine is the bees knees | 01:56 |
daniel | Roasted, hey i had the same problem i spent over 2 hours with a guy trying to figure it out and we couldnt i suggest just use rythmbox | 01:56 |
t-rask | Hi there, I'm having a problem with Audacity that I just can't figure out. I'm working on a song, but for some reason (out of nowhere, apparently) whenever I hit "Play" it only plays about 1.5 seconds or so, and a green arrow shows up above my track where it stops. I can't figure a way out around this, though I'm sure it's something simple? (I already asked in #audacity) | 01:57 |
Roasted | daniel, rhythmbox doesn't even DETECT my music on my sandisk player. Yet it did an hour ago. Not sure why this program is being a brat. | 01:57 |
Roasted | daniel, I just want to set up playlists. I thought this would be easy. | 01:57 |
joljam | I am getting the message "Unable to seek on /dev/sda" when use sudo fdisk -l in ubuntu lucid | 01:57 |
aperson | daniel↳ you just have that area selected, IIRC | 01:58 |
daniel | Roasted, i have had no problems with rythmbox have u tried formating the scandisk? | 01:58 |
I3ision | i'm having trouble installing Last Chaos using play on linux, it stops half was threw an wont install. any solutions? | 01:58 |
daniel | aperson, what are ya talking about | 01:58 |
slipp3d | if i'm getting told that 'KVM is not available' and i need to check and see if kvm is installed ... what package am i looking for? | 01:59 |
aperson | daniel↳ sorry, highlighted the wrong person :S | 01:59 |
daniel | does anyone know how to install a file called "sbf_flash" its from this website http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/2010/05/sbfflash.html | 02:00 |
goguda | t-rask: Try changing the sample rate around until it works. I had the same problem. | 02:00 |
Roasted | daniel, nevermind. it looks like banshee is working. I may just use this. rhythmbox has always kinda peed me off with some things. | 02:00 |
t-rask | goguda, even though it was working just fine a minute ago? | 02:01 |
gorolol | hello pplz | 02:01 |
ohsix | Roasted: is the mtp plugin enabled? | 02:01 |
Roasted | Ohsix how do I figure that ou? | 02:02 |
goguda | t-rask: Yes. I'm not sure why it does this, but I had the exact same problem. After several hours of searching, I found that solution, and it worked for me. | 02:02 |
ohsix | Roasted: in the menus theres a "Plugins..." entry | 02:02 |
Roasted | ohsix, yep, its enabled | 02:03 |
ActionParsnip | daniel: yu link TELLS you | 02:03 |
ActionParsnip | yu == your | 02:03 |
ohsix | Roasted: that's queer, it should work then | 02:03 |
t-rask | goguda, how do I change the sample rate? I have a pretty basic understanding of Audacity, not much more. | 02:03 |
ohsix | Roasted: you might be able to see more info about plugging it in and what is going on in the output of dmesg (run it in a terminal just after unplugging it and plugging it in) | 02:03 |
nixjr | ive just located the source of my disk shortage issues, a file called .xsession-errors is 52gb, can i safely delete it? | 02:04 |
ohsix | nixjr: yes | 02:04 |
goguda | t-rask: I don't have audacity installed right now, but from what I remember, all you have to do is go to edit->preferences... and there should be a drop down menu somewhere in there. | 02:04 |
ohsix | nixjr: but don't, yet | 02:04 |
ohsix | nixjr: theres a reason its 52gb, find out what it is; it's some app spamming error messages | 02:04 |
nixjr | ohsix, im affraid if i try and open it, itll freeze my system up cause of the size | 02:05 |
ohsix | nixjr: use 'less' in a terminal | 02:05 |
ActionParsnip | nixjr: try: tail -n 15 ~/.xsession-errors | 02:05 |
ohsix | then hit end to go to the bottom | 02:05 |
t-rask | goguda, I've tried them all, exact same thing. It doesn't actually play any audio, it just advances the marker about a second or so. | 02:06 |
nixjr | the tail 15 are all "nsplugin viewer" thats flash right? | 02:06 |
ohsix | nixjr: nspluginwrapper, but yes | 02:07 |
ohsix | nixjr: nspluginwrapper suxx, you should give the native plugin a shot | 02:07 |
ecinx3 | i have sound from a frozen firefox session but i can't find it on system monitor | 02:07 |
ActionParsnip | nixjr: do you use 64bit ubuntu? | 02:07 |
nixjr | im very amature at linux, i remember messing about with flash for ages to get it going, i have no idea how to undo all ive done | 02:08 |
goguda | t-rask: Check your audio settings and make sure that the sound cards are set to the aproppiate settings, and also make sure that, if you are trying to record, that audio detected recording isn't enabled. | 02:08 |
ActionParsnip | ecinx3: try: killall pulseaudio | 02:08 |
nixjr | ActionParsnip, yes | 02:08 |
mickster04 | ecinx3: find it in terminal? | 02:08 |
ecinx3 | i haven't tried in terminal i don't understand top | 02:08 |
ActionParsnip | nixjr: I recommend you use 64bit flash, rather than 32bit flash + nspluginwrapper which is default. | 02:08 |
ActionParsnip | nixjr: I'll get you a link. Remove the flash packages you have | 02:08 |
ActionParsnip | nixjr: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/install-64bit-flash-from-a-ppa-or-deb/ | 02:09 |
[thor] | ecinx3: don't bother with top, use "ps -A | grep pulse" | 02:09 |
mickster04 | ecinx3: "ps aux ¦ grep firefox" without quotes and a pipe instead of what I put, the keyboard settings sare a little affected thru putty | 02:09 |
ohsix | you can just put the upstream player in the right place too ... no point in using the 3rd party repos as the stuff is still beta | 02:09 |
nixjr | ActionParsnip, and this will work for any browser? i use opera not thedefault firefox | 02:10 |
Prinler | When i boot my ubuntu 10.10 it always asks for my keyring password. (i forgot this) I was remoted in from work, where i am now, and rebooted after doing some updates. Now i cant relog in due to this. Is there a workaround for this? | 02:10 |
ecinx3 | thakns killall pulse worked | 02:10 |
mickster04 | ecinx3: pipe is like ¦ but a block line | 02:10 |
mickster04 | ecinx3: oh ok | 02:10 |
ActionParsnip | nixjr: sure, should be ok. You can always symlink the plugin to opera's plugins folder if not but it should fly just fine | 02:10 |
t-rask | goguda, hm, I changed it from "default" to my Intel card for the audio output, and now the cursor advances and plays the whole way but still no actual audio output? | 02:10 |
goguda | t-rask: Weird... are you sure the output is also set? | 02:11 |
ActionParsnip | ecinx3: ok then press ALT+F2 and run: pulseaudio to restart the sound server | 02:11 |
ecinx3 | how do i make sure the video stream isn't affecting my bandwidth of that old session? | 02:11 |
ohsix | Prinler: not being able to log in is something different from unlocking the keyring, something else happened | 02:11 |
Nitrohax | Anyone want to take a crack at a USB problem? | 02:11 |
nixjr | ActionParsnip, thanks ill give it a go, if i can figure out how to undo all ive done so far first lol | 02:11 |
ohsix | ActionParsnip: pulseaudio automatically respawns | 02:11 |
ecinx3 | ActionParsnip, it's working and i didn't restart it | 02:11 |
bc81_ | !anyone | Nitrohax | 02:11 |
ubottu | Nitrohax: 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? | 02:11 |
t-rask | goguda, what do you mean? | 02:11 |
Nitrohax | ok then | 02:12 |
bc81_ | :) | 02:12 |
ActionParsnip | ohsix: i see | 02:12 |
goguda | t-rask: There should be two options for sound cards. One that says input, and one that says output. If the output isn't set to the right sound card, it will not work. | 02:12 |
ActionParsnip | ecinx3: sweet :) | 02:12 |
Nitrohax | MoBo ASUS P8P67LE USB support won't work for USB flash drives but everything else like phone, ipod, mouse, keyboards. Got a suggestion? | 02:13 |
t-rask | goguda, the one I changed was the output? Output=my speakers. | 02:13 |
ecinx3 | ActionParsnip, yes thanks ohsix was right about the respawn | 02:13 |
goguda | t-rask: Not really sure what is going on then. Are there any other programs opened that would be using audio? | 02:13 |
ActionParsnip | Nitrohax: when you remove the usb storage from the system, what steps do you take? | 02:13 |
ActionParsnip | Nitrohax: and what filesystem/s do the partition/s use? | 02:14 |
yannie | What's the best DVD ripping program available for Ubuntu? | 02:14 |
Nitrohax | eject, but it's not even picking them up at all. Even after a restart (cold/hot) | 02:14 |
Squarism | theres no end to all damn bits and bytes you can learn.. brain meltdown | 02:14 |
Prinler | ohsix, I know what happened, if you dont enter the password for the keyring the wireless will not connect..... no connection to the internet..... that means i cant connect to the box. | 02:14 |
Nitrohax | This is happening in all filesystems even on the ubuntu ext3 | 02:15 |
ohsix | Prinler: oh, well thats different, you can't connect | 02:15 |
yannie | Could somebody recommend a DVD ripping program? | 02:15 |
ActionParsnip | Nitrohax: ok when you plug in a non-working device, run: dmesg | tail and the output may help | 02:15 |
ActionParsnip | yannie: acidrip | 02:15 |
t-rask | goguda, nah, I closed everything that would be :\ I'll try restarting here quick. Thanks for the help. | 02:15 |
yannie | Thanks. | 02:15 |
ActionParsnip | !rip | 02:16 |
ubottu | For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar | 02:16 |
Prinler | ohsix, i didnt ask how to connect sir, im asking how can i make it not ask me each time i reboot for the keyring password... short of unsecuring my home wifi | 02:16 |
ActionParsnip | hmm | 02:16 |
Nitrohax | ActionParsnip, It doesn't show anythign listed as being l=plugged in for a USB flash drive | 02:16 |
ActionParsnip | Nitrohax: so no reaction at all? weird | 02:16 |
goguda | t-rask: No problem. I suggest that if you need any more help, you try the channel #audacity. They might have an easier time helping you ;) | 02:16 |
ohsix | Prinler: if your login password isn't your keyring password i don't think it'll be automatically unlocked | 02:16 |
joljam | @ActionParsnip, I am not able to read my sdcard in Ubuntu lucid, I am getting the message "Unable to seek on /dev/sda" when use sudo fdisk -l | 02:16 |
Nitrohax | ActionParsnip, None, it's crazy. I thought it was a MoBo prob, but all the settings are correct. | 02:16 |
Prinler | ohsix, it is the same | 02:17 |
ActionParsnip | Nitrohax: are you in the plugdev group? | 02:17 |
ActionParsnip | Nitrohax: and do you have gvfs-fuse installed? | 02:17 |
ActionParsnip | Nitrohax: with the device inserted, if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the partition or disk? | 02:18 |
Nitrohax | ActionParsnip, yeah I have that installed. I plug it in no reaction at all | 02:18 |
Nitrohax | ActionParsnip, no. | 02:18 |
jasmuz | Hello all. | 02:19 |
bc81_ | hi jasmuz | 02:19 |
lajor | hi | 02:19 |
ohsix | you shouldn't need gio or gvfs-fuse for anything to do with automounting of plain storage | 02:19 |
jasmuz | My question is, with what software do you guys scrobble your played ipod tracks, i used amarok 1.4.10 before but its no longer available | 02:19 |
Nitrohax | Harddrives, Ipod, no usb flash drives. I did a usb hd reader on the same ports just to see, they show up. just the straight uSb flash drives don't work | 02:19 |
=== JeffCBR is now known as NinjaJef | ||
Nitrohax | ActionParsnip, it's like insanity. all the hard stuff is working but all the easy stuff isn't being seen | 02:20 |
jasmuz | bc81_: hello! | 02:20 |
NinjaJef | Is it possible to get a process back to my current terminal that I started in another terminal? | 02:21 |
ohsix | Nitrohax: plug it in and unplug it, then post as much as you can of the end of the output of dmesg | 02:21 |
ohsix | Nitrohax: to a pastebin | 02:21 |
bc81_ | jasmuz: by scrobble, do you mean "Update IM status according to the current song (works with Empathy, Gossip, and Pidgin)"? | 02:21 |
jasmuz | any ideas? | 02:21 |
jasmuz | bc81_: No, i mean reporting them to Last.fm | 02:21 |
bc81_ | jasmuz: Rythmbox can scrobble with the plugin enabled | 02:22 |
Nitrohax | ohsix, I'm going to take a break on it right now. Just went into windows to watch a netflix. LOL | 02:22 |
Nitrohax | ActionParsnip, ohsix, Thanks though. I'll be back in the morning | 02:22 |
bc81_ | jasmuz: go to "Edit >> Plugins >> Last.fm | 02:22 |
NinjaJef | Does Netflix not work in Gnome? | 02:22 |
=== NinjaJef is now known as NinjaJeff | ||
Nitrohax | NinjaJeff, no | 02:23 |
t-rask | goguda, it looks like the settings I did earlier for playing MIDI randomly took effect while I was using Audacity. Brought Audacity back to using "default" output and it works just fine. Thanks for your help! | 02:23 |
jasmuz | bc81_: rythmbox isn't working for me, worked once now it just sits there. | 02:23 |
Nitrohax | NinjaJeff, it needs silverlight in order to work and moonlight isn't quite the same | 02:23 |
NinjaJeff | I see. :\ | 02:23 |
Nitrohax | jasmuz, try opening it back up from the applications menu | 02:23 |
goguda | t-rask: No problem :) | 02:24 |
NinjaJeff | So, any ideas on getting a process back? | 02:24 |
jasmuz | Nitrohax: uh? the player works, but dosen't report jack | 02:24 |
NinjaJeff | I started it on another terminal, so now it's running like in the background. | 02:24 |
bc81_ | jasmuz: hmm..odd. you try deleting the preferences? remove the folder, "~/.local/share/rythmbox" | 02:24 |
tf2ftw | NinjaJeff, its gone | 02:24 |
tf2ftw | NinjaJeff, try ps -l | 02:24 |
Nitrohax | jasmuz, i'm not sure what you are talking about | 02:24 |
bc81_ | jasmuz: oh nevermind i see | 02:24 |
NinjaJeff | It's still running. | 02:25 |
Deeps | is it possible to dual screen with two different screens running at different resolutions without having hidden sections on the top and bottom of the second screen? ie, i have two screens, 1920x1200 and 1920x1080, and i'm losing a bit at the top and bottom of the smaller screen when i have dual displays enabled | 02:25 |
bc81_ | jasmuz: yu have the plugin configured? | 02:25 |
tf2ftw | NinjaJeff, ok, so what do you want to do with it? | 02:25 |
Nitrohax | NinjaJeff, did you try to open it from the task/process list? | 02:25 |
Deeps | the mouse can go into the areas, but i cant see it or the contents in those areas | 02:25 |
jasmuz | bc81_: yes, and it states its OK with last.fm | 02:25 |
Deeps | becomes very obvious when attempting to full screen a movie in totem media player or vlc | 02:25 |
NinjaJeff | I'm on through ssh. | 02:25 |
Deeps | as the controls are all hidden | 02:25 |
jasmuz | but below it says tracks submitted 0 | 02:26 |
tf2ftw | NinjaJeff, yeah if you dont screen the processes its probably lost. | 02:26 |
Nitrohax | NinjaJeff, ack not sure on that one. sorry | 02:26 |
tf2ftw | NinjaJeff, just kill it and start again.. if it was a upgrade/install situation you can start it over | 02:26 |
Nitrohax | NinjaJeff, that's what i was thinking too | 02:27 |
NinjaJeff | I don't want to lose the work already done. | 02:27 |
NinjaJeff | And, I'd like to learn how to do this for future reference. | 02:27 |
NinjaJeff | It's nothing critical. I won't die if I can't recover it. | 02:27 |
gp5st1 | i added a upstart script, but i can't see it with service | 02:28 |
bc81_ | jasmuz: not sure, you can always try Exaile, it has an AudioScrobbler plugin also | 02:28 |
Roasted | are there any media players that work? Banshee shuts off right away if my mp3 player is plugged in and rhythmbox won't detect the 7gb worth of music on my player. | 02:28 |
Nitrohax | Roasted, what player are you using? | 02:28 |
tf2ftw | NinjaJeff, just do $ screen my-command-here | 02:29 |
Roasted | Nitrohax, I just said, banshee and rhythmbox. | 02:29 |
bc81_ | Roasted: i can also recommend you try Exaile | 02:29 |

ohsix | Roasted: did you pick the device from the side bar? | 02:29 |
Nitrohax | Roasted, that's great what MP3 player are you trying to use. | 02:29 |
jasmuz | bc81_: humm.. i'll try it out ttyl | 02:29 |
Roasted | ohsix, it sees "SANSA FUZE" but it doesn't show any music on it. | 02:29 |
Roasted | Nitrohax, sandisk. | 02:29 |
Starminn | !player > Roasted | 02:29 |
ubottu | Roasted, please see my private message | 02:29 |
Grishnackh666 | chmod -g -R 0770 mydir changes the permissions for groups and users to rwx and for guests to ---, doesn't it? | 02:30 |
Starminn | Roasted: Just try those and see what works? | 02:30 |
ohsix | Roasted: is the quick search box empty? | 02:30 |
Roasted | Starminn, but I would like to get one of these working. I don't want to just pass it off as "oh it doesnt work for me but it works for the rest of the world" | 02:30 |
Roasted | thanks but*' | 02:30 |
Nitrohax | Roasted, probaly looks more like a removeable drive to ubuntu, look to see files and there the music. But rythmbox is the best one out there for syncing | 02:30 |
Starminn | Roasted: understandable | 02:31 |
Roasted | Nitrohax, I'm not after syncing. I'm just after making playlists. But I made a playlist in Banshee and my player had no clue. I'm hoping I could get rhythmbox working so I can try their playlist feature. | 02:31 |
Roasted | Nitrohax, I'm moving the music off of my player now onto my desktop, then I'll just add a song or two and see if it picks it up then. Oddly, rhythmbox picked it up a few hours ago, but I changed around my music, so I wonder what happened. | 02:31 |
Roasted | Nitrohax, I also wonder if I can restore this to factory settings??? | 02:32 |
Nitrohax | Roasted, there should be a reset button on the back for that. At least on most scandisk's i have seen | 02:32 |
Gartral | !clone | Gartral | 02:32 |
ubottu | Gartral, please see my private message | 02:32 |
Nitrohax | Roasted, rythmbox is really hard to make playlist that sync i have found though. I haven't even had it work for ipod yet | 02:33 |
Roasted | Nitrohax, well, it wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't work for ipods, but it works for everything else. | 02:33 |
Gartral | arrgh. I can't recive PMs in this crap for a client. | 02:33 |
Roasted | Nitrohax, but I'm not trying to sync anything. I'm just trying to manually create a few playlists from scratch. | 02:33 |
Nitrohax | huh | 02:33 |
Gartral | can someone trigger the !clone tip too me IN THIS CHAT? | 02:34 |
Nitrohax | Roasted, let me try somethings. BRB | 02:34 |
Gartral | !clone | 02:34 |
ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 02:34 |
ActionParsnip | Gartral: you can trigger it yourself you know :) | 02:35 |
Gartral | will the clone remove packages not in the list? | 02:35 |

Camarata- | i know Linux has WINE for Windows applications, but if I can find a Mac version of it, how would I install a Mac app on Linux? | 02:36 |
bc81_ | Camarata-: not possible yet (that i know of) you would probably have to install mac in a virtual machine (see VirtualBox OSE) | 02:37 |
Gartral | actionparsnip will the clone remove packages not in the list? | 02:37 |
ActionParsnip | Gartral: shouldn't do as far as I know | 02:38 |
Camarata- | thought with it being Unix there would be a better way to use Mac programs :( | 02:38 |
Gartral | Camarata-: there's no need for wine, what you need too do is match compatability from GNUstep, BSD, and Cocoa. | 02:38 |
Starminn | Camarata: Linux != Unix | 02:38 |
Gartral | that too.. Linux is based on Unix directly, Mac is based off of Cocoa/BSD... BSD is only VERY loosly based on unix.. with many many many other changes. | 02:39 |
mickster04 | !unix | 02:39 |
ubottu | UNIX is an operating system created in the '70s, which has many direct derivates and inspired systems like Minix and !Linux. Most "UNIX-style" systems try to somewhat adhere to the POSIX standard. | 02:39 |
gp5st1 | http://pastebin.com/vLqv6bMu is my script at /etc/init/xvfb.conf 644 root:root when i run service xvfb it says it can't find it | 02:40 |
EmuAlert | How do you set what files extensions cue which programs? "Preferred applications" doesn't let you customize a whole lot | 02:40 |
Nitrohax | linux,unix open source mac(BSD) is so/so and microsoft(DOS) is closed. And who wants to go to something closed? | 02:40 |
Gartral | will the clone remove packages not in the list? | 02:41 |
Starminn | EmuAlert: Right-click on the file in question and hit "Open with..." or something like that and hit "Remembermy choice" or whatever | 02:41 |
Gartral | !mime | 02:41 |
ohsix | Gartral: linux isn't based on unix, or deriving anything from it | 02:41 |
ActionParsnip | EmuAlert: right click the file -> open with. then choose your app and tell the OS to remember it | 02:41 |
ohsix | Gartral: the only thing they really all have in common is that they can pass a test suite | 02:41 |
rionstrife | hi..i have a problem with my ubuntu 10.10 herte | 02:41 |
IdleOne | Gartral: if you mean already installed packages, no it won't remove them. | 02:41 |
ManateeLazyCat | How about apt base on p2p? Anyone have experience on this? | 02:41 |
Gartral | ohsix: tell the other guy that, I was telling him what he needed for getting MacOSX apps running under linux. | 02:41 |
edbian | ohsix, Gartral Linux is unix like. It follows similar design principals | 02:42 |
rionstrife | if i have a problem with power voltage.so my ubuntu is forcefully shut down | 02:42 |
rionstrife | after i restart my box.my ubuntu is hang at grub selection.i have to enter on keyboard...... | 02:42 |
ohsix | edbian: not at all, haha; unless you mean "everything is a file", because that's where it ends | 02:42 |
Nitrohax | have you tried running Vbox for running linux and bsd at the same time? | 02:42 |
rionstrife | since i made it for server.without keyboard and monitor.so it always hang on grub selection..do u have a solution for me..? | 02:43 |
ActionParsnip | rionstrife: can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub file, thanks | 02:43 |
IdleOne | Gartral: unless of course you have a conflicting packages but it should warn you of that. | 02:43 |
dokuro | Trying to upgrade ubuntu 8.04 server's php to 5.2.9 or higher, can't seem to get it to update | 02:43 |
ManateeLazyCat | I plan to write software to update apt package base on p2p protocol. Any link or resource are welcome! Thanks! | 02:43 |
rionstrife | ActionParsnip:allright. | 02:43 |
Gartral | edbian: not closly enough too allow binary intercompatability. There's also no "unixframework" package for linux.. meaning nothing will be seen as mapped by a UNIX app.. | 02:43 |
ohsix | ManateeLazyCat: you should look at the debian projects that already do that | 02:43 |
gp5st1 | ManateeLazyCat: I think that's done alreayd | 02:43 |
gp5st1 | already* | 02:43 |

ohsix | ManateeLazyCat: debian.org | 02:44 |
Starminn | Gartral: It works for me. | 02:44 |

Guest60662 | okay, I have a server up and running and When lets say one user moves a file to the everyone folder, another file can access it but not be able to delete or change it. I just learned of thei create mask = 0765 will that help any? | 02:48 |
Secret128 | without starting up windows xp pro | 02:48 |
Guest60662 | and if not how may I fix this? | 02:48 |
ActionParsnip | Guest60662: make the owning user have full access but the group have read only access | 02:49 |
mezimezim | ActionParsnip: sure enough:) but the "resize" option is greyed in the installer.... | 02:49 |
Secret128 | so any idear how i can do it | 02:49 |
ActionParsnip | Secret128: do what? Your broken up question made no sense | 02:50 |
Guest60662 | ActionParsnip...that is the issue, the group need read and write | 02:50 |
Guest60662 | they only have read | 02:50 |
ActionParsnip | Guest60662: write access also allows delete | 02:50 |
Secret128 | install it without loading windows xp pro up | 02:50 |
gp5st1 | ManateeLazyCat: i'm not sure. i believe there is an offical one. i'd work from there | 02:50 |
bc81_ | EmuAlert: you must edit or delete the file /.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list | 02:50 |
Nitrohax | Guest60662, what are using to try and resize? | 02:50 |
Secret128 | like from the startup menu | 02:50 |
rionstrife | ActionParsnip:http://pastebin.com/FcUJU0RX | 02:50 |
ActionParsnip | Secret128: use a virtualbox / vmware | 02:50 |
Secret128 | no | 02:50 |
Secret128 | i just want to install it | 02:51 |
rionstrife | i think i dont have a problem with my grub.because its default.. | 02:51 |
Secret128 | on my laptop | 02:51 |
mickster04 | Secret128: that doesn't make any sense, you don't ever have to boot into it once you have installed it, but why bother installing it? | 02:51 |
Secret128 | i want it as the os not windows xp as the os | 02:51 |
Secret128 | its not installed | 02:51 |
Gartral | daRuffian: they will not be released too the general public. Acer, Dell, And Samsung will be releasing their own Chromebooks in a few month, US only for now... | 02:51 |
Secret128 | though | 02:51 |
rionstrife | i have about 50 server here.an all of it's hang on grub kernel selection. | 02:51 |
Guest60662 | I have a samba shar set up, one windows client can connect to the folder "everyone" and add files. but thoughs files do not allow anyone else to have write access. they only have read onlye. even after giving them proper permissions | 02:51 |
Nitrohax | Secret128, you want to haev the primary OS as windows, and a vbox for linux? | 02:51 |
mickster04 | Secret128: so you want ubuntu as the OS, not xp, but you want to install xp anyway? | 02:51 |
ActionParsnip | rionstrife: mine is pretty much the same except I have #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 uncommented | 02:52 |
Secret128 | no Ubuntu as the main os | 02:52 |
mickster04 | Secret128: well just install it? | 02:52 |
rionstrife | ActionParsnip:okay i try to comment it | 02:52 |
Secret128 | ive installed windows | 02:52 |
mickster04 | Secret128: so? | 02:52 |
Secret128 | im trying to install ubuntu | 02:52 |
ActionParsnip | Secret128: yes, you can install the windows OS in a virtual system.... | 02:52 |
mezimezim | ActionParsnip: ubuntu installer does not detect windows, here, it shows that ubuntu detects another OS : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall | 02:52 |
ActionParsnip | Secret128: so you have a TRUE install of windows and want to access it? | 02:52 |
mickster04 | Secret128: well just put the disk in and boot off it | 02:52 |
Secret128 | from windows like you install other things with a disk on windows | 02:52 |
rionstrife | ActionParsnip:so what i have to do..? | 02:52 |
Secret128 | how do i goto the bootup menu | 02:53 |
rionstrife | uncomment it..? | 02:53 |
ActionParsnip | Secret128: you CAN but it's known to cause data corruption | 02:53 |
Nitrohax | Secret, install the ubuntu OS, then go to the sunmocrosystems site and d/l Vbox and then install windows in that | 02:53 |
Gartral | does anyone know if the freaking clone system REMOVES installed crap that isn't on the list? | 02:53 |
mezimezim | Parsnip: I did it with 10.04, now I am trying to install 10.10...no detection | 02:53 |
mickster04 | Secret128: press f8 at start up usually, change bios settings i can't think of much else? | 02:53 |
ActionParsnip | Secret128: can you also target me so your text highlights like I am to you | 02:53 |
ActionParsnip | rionstrife: edit the file, then run: sudo update-grub | 02:53 |
ohsix | Gartral: it doesn't, it just sets new selections | 02:53 |
ActionParsnip | mezimezim: then resize with Lucid CD, then boot to maverick CD and install to the free space | 02:54 |
Gartral | ohsix: is there a way too force thr functionality i'm looking for? | 02:54 |
EmuAlert | bc81_, Thanks, fixed it. It's handy to have everything somewhere in a plaintext file | 02:54 |
mezimezim | yep :( I gave away my Lucid CD :( | 02:54 |
mickster04 | Secret128: then select the cd as the boot option | 02:54 |
mezimezim | will download again | 02:54 |

ActionParsnip | mezimezim: gah | 02:54 |
mezimezim | indeed! | 02:55 |
ActionParsnip | feyd: I always use it no matter what video chip, just makes life simpler | 02:55 |
ohsix | Gartral: i don't know of anything that will remove packages not in a list | 02:55 |
bc81_ | EmuAlert: yes, very hand file. remember that will come in handy again, i'm sure!! :) | 02:55 |
ActionParsnip | mezimezim: thats all I got. I don't dual boot and if I did I would PLAN my partitions so I didn't need to mess with resizing. Installing Other OSes (like Windows) to a portion of the available space instead of the default 100% can save you effort and risk | 02:56 |
ohsix | Gartral: oh, hey; this works, dpkg --get-selections > selections, dpkg --clear-selections, dpkg --set-selections < selections | 02:56 |
Gartral | daRuffian: if you want more info on the Chromebooks go ahead and pm me | 02:56 |
rionstrife | ActionParsnip:still same error.. | 02:57 |
ohsix | Gartral: careful with dpkg --clear-selections ;] | 02:57 |
rionstrife | i plugged off the power supply cable.and i power on my ubuntu box.its still hang.. | 02:57 |

Sheldon | Is there anyone know how to use RuiJie authenticate in China carmp net? | 02:57 |

bc81_ | mickster what if you hold ctrl+shift and type u007c that makes a pipe: | | 03:08 |
Roasted | Gartral, I formatted it within the Sandisk interface, not within GParted or anything. | 03:08 |
Roasted | Gartral, if I toasted it, it shouldn't be in the interface. | 03:08 |
Gartral | Roasted: you *might* be able too recover it with the Rockbox Loader. | 03:08 |
Roasted | Gartral, I'm not trying to recover any music. I just wanted to reset it o factory settings. | 03:08 |
Gartral | Roasted: I toasted an e250 that ended up doing exactly the same thing. | 03:09 |
bc81_ | mickster04: see above (if you didn't get the signal) | 03:09 |
Roasted | Gartral, then fail on sandisk for having it in the fn interface. | 03:09 |
Gartral | Roasted: that's what the rockbox loader will do. | 03:09 |
Roasted | That's ridiculous. | 03:09 |
Roasted | So how do I fix it? Rockbox loader? Is that a linux thing? | 03:09 |
Gartral | Roasted: it isn't sandisk's fault the the system you plugged it into would let you format the device. | 03:10 |
mickster04 | c | 03:10 |
Gartral | Roasted: www.rockbox.org | 03:10 |
Starminn | Speaking of Rockbox I was about to ask how I can give it permission to write the loader to my device. | 03:10 |
Roasted | Gartral, I didn't have it plugged in. | 03:10 |
mickster04 | nope :p | 03:10 |
Roasted | Gartral, I formatted it WITHIN the SANDISK interface. | 03:10 |
Roasted | Gartral, it was a feature within the sandisk menu. | 03:10 |
Gartral | Roasted: ohh.. that's odd... | 03:10 |
Roasted | Gartral, If that bricked this thing, it is ABSOLUTELY their fault. | 03:10 |
Roasted | I can understand if I used gparted or something, but I didn't. | 03:10 |
Gartral | Roasted: indeed it is | 03:10 |
Roasted | Gartral, I mean, it turns on and stuff. Ubuntu just doesn't recognize it..... | 03:10 |
Gartral | Roasted: ohhhhhh | 03:11 |
Roasted | Gartral, I backed up my music and wanted to push it back onto the device, but no such luck. | 03:11 |
Gartral | Roasted: it's stuck in SCP mode. | 03:11 |
richardcavell | Will 64-bit programs work on 32-bit Ubuntu at all? | 03:12 |
Gartral | Roasted: this is an entirly different problem. power it down, and hold the "left" or >> and keep it depressed while plugging it in. | 03:12 |
=== I|Feel|Rev is now known as Chipzzz | ||
Roasted | Gartral, why are you such a genius. | 03:12 |
Gartral | richardcavell: yes, but you'll have some very severe stability and speed issues. | 03:12 |
Roasted | Gartral, how did you know that | 03:13 |
AbhijiT | richardcavell, no | 03:13 |
AbhijiT | gardar, no | 03:13 |
richardcavell | So they won't even load? | 03:13 |
Gartral | Roasted: I'm a Rockbox dev, we had a HELUVA time with those sansas. | 03:13 |
AbhijiT | richardcavell, 64 bit application wont run on 32 bit os | 03:13 |
Roasted | Gartral, ehh, I'm getting an error mounting it though | 03:13 |
ActionParsnip | Gartral: 64bit apps runing in 32bit OS? | 03:13 |
Roasted | Gartral, but it DID pop up as if it recognized it being a device. | 03:13 |
ActionParsnip | Gartral: really? didn't know that | 03:13 |
AbhijiT | ActionParsnip, :D | 03:13 |
Gartral | Roasted: what's the error? | 03:14 |
russell__ | Hi, I need some help getting X back - it appears that the Ati drivers have stopped x from displaying anything - anyone? I just need to set it back to normal pre-install ubuntu -state | 03:14 |
Roasted | Gartral, Could not display "gphoto2://[usb:001,060]/" | 03:14 |
ActionParsnip | richardcavell: as far as I am aware, 64bit wil not run in 32bit. You can however do the other ways around | 03:14 |
Roasted | Gartral, with a DBus error | 03:14 |
judgepg | russell__: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:14 |
Gartral | Roasted: hah. you need too set the udev rule corectly. | 03:14 |
Roasted | Gartral, how would I do that | 03:15 |
Gartral | Roasted: -grumble- I'll need too look around, Google with me.. Sansa fuse udev ubuntu 10.10 | 03:15 |
russell__ | judepg : how can I confirm this has changed, I've tried reverting back to a previous xorg.conf file but still no x-display - im limited to terminal now | 03:16 |
Gartral | who asked about the rockbox loader? | 03:16 |
judgepg | russell__: run that command, and then type: /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 03:16 |
judgepg | russell__: sudo !! | 03:16 |
russell__ | judgepg : sudo: /etc/init.d/gdm: command not found | 03:17 |
Gartral | Starminn: the easiest, though most "insecure" way, is run the loader with sudo/ | 03:17 |
Roasted | Gartral, I'm not finding too much. Some users say "I wrote a udev rule" and paste it but I have *zero* idea what to do from there. | 03:18 |
judgepg | russell__: you did: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 03:18 |
Roasted | sigh | 03:18 |
Starminn | Gartral: I know of that but was looking for an alternative | 03:18 |
Roasted | "Could not lock the device" | 03:18 |
judgepg | russell__: just use tab for auto-completion | 03:18 |
russell__ | judgepg : Yeh, it came back with command not found - I take it this maybe be the issue? | 03:18 |
Gartral | Starminn: that's going too require alot. the Rockbox loader bypasses caching and needs too probe hardware directly... it really is just easier too run it with sudo | 03:19 |
judgepg | russell__: try sudo init 2 | 03:19 |
judgepg | russell__: then perhaps: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start | 03:19 |
Gartral | Roasted: ok, where did you find said udev file? | 03:20 |
Chipzzz | russell__: if the ATI drivers won't work for you, getting rid of them is not as easy as you might think... Full instructions are here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:%20%20Need%20to%20fully%20remove%20-fglrx%20and%20reinstall%20-ati%20from%20scratch | 03:20 |
Roasted | Gartral, on a search of ubuntu forums. ALso - I set the USB mode to MCP or whatever it is and it mounts fine... | 03:20 |
Roasted | MSC* | 03:20 |
judgepg | russell__: sorry, type: "sudo service gdm stop" and then "sudo service gdm start" | 03:20 |
Gartral | Roasted: ok, you figured it out, glad i could help! | 03:21 |
Roasted | MTP gives me the error tho, Gartral | 03:21 |
Roasted | I thought MTP was what I wanted? | 03:21 |
Gartral | Roasted: MSC will wotk too, but it can lock up like it did before if the OS tries too access it too early.. | 03:21 |
Roasted | Gartral, lock up like it did before??? | 03:22 |
judgepg | russell__: You may need to be in another display to do this, press CTRL+ALT+F1 and then type "sudo service gdm stop" followed by "sudo service gdm start" When done, press CTRL+ALT+F7 to get back to this display | 03:22 |
Gartral | Roasted: you should try the rockbox firmware, we spent alot of time making sure our firmwares work with all oses | 03:22 |
Roasted | can I flash it within ubuntu? | 03:22 |
Sarajevo | Hello guys | 03:22 |
Gartral | Roasted: yes. | 03:22 |
Sarajevo | Ok | 03:22 |
Sarajevo | I wont be pathetic | 03:22 |
bc81_ | lol | 03:22 |
russell__ | judgepg : would restarting also resolve this? as im ssh remotely at the mo | 03:23 |
Sarajevo | But I really need someone to buy me an internet domain chatomania.org | 03:23 |
Sarajevo | I dont have any money and or paypal account | 03:23 |
russell__ | Chipzzz : yeh thanks, I followed that guide to remove everything - but no joy. | 03:23 |
judgepg | russell__: Yes a reboot will do the trick, but you're not in a windows world anymore :) | 03:23 |
mickster04 | Sarajevo: sounds like a nigerian scam to me :p | 03:23 |
Sarajevo | Id be really thankful if u bought me that domain | 03:23 |
Sarajevo | Hhaah mickster04 | 03:23 |

Roasted | Gartral, I find it weird gparted says this device is unallocated, yet I can mount it and write music to this exact partition | 03:24 |
Sarajevo | Ok | 03:24 |
Chipzzz | russell__: did it work with the radeon driver (before you installed the ATI driver)? | 03:24 |
Roasted | Gartral, I wonder whatw ould happen if I create a fat partiion? | 03:24 |
Gartral | Roasted: that's because the Sansa Firmware tries too "protect" the filesystem... | 03:24 |
cryptodira | folks, I have got a 'gosh-darn' frustrating problem here.... a while back I farkled my top panel and have since been unable to completely restore it to "fresh install" status, I have, however, been able to provide the functionality I want by means of the custom application launcher,,, the problem is that these 'CAP' items do NOT survive a reboot... what am I doing incorrectly? | 03:25 |
Gartral | Roasted: then you really WOULD need too reflash. | 03:25 |
Roasted | Gartral, I see. I'm just trying to figure out how I can rename it. I did it before. | 03:25 |
Roasted | the partition ID or whatetver | 03:25 |
Gartral | Roasted: ohh.. right click the partition nautilus. | 03:25 |
bc81_ | cryptodira: you tried resetting your panel to default statys? | 03:26 |
Gartral | partition IN nautilus | 03:26 |
bc81_ | !panel | cryptodira | 03:26 |
Roasted | Gartral, within /media? | 03:26 |
bc81_ | !panels | cryptodira | 03:26 |
ubottu | cryptodira: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 03:26 |
russell__ | judgepg : no joy - only terminal :( | 03:26 |
russell__ | judgepg : it boots way to quick | 03:27 |
nertil | sup | 03:27 |
Gartral | open the mp3 player in the Places menu, and in the left hand panel, right click the Sansa Fuse icon | 03:27 |
cryptodira | bc81_, yes, i did that,,, it did NOT restore everything to fresh install status, namely NO volume slider or network manager apps | 03:27 |

sprockets2 | How do you change desktop managers | 03:28 |
Chipzzz | russell__: if you removed the ATI drivers & put back the radeon one, you still have to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org" | 03:28 |
sprockets2 | I need one that is minimal on the cpu/memory usage | 03:28 |
Nitrohax | sprockets2, you mean you want the crazy cool graphics from fuzion? | 03:28 |

Nitrohax | sprockets2, yes lxde there is a version of lubuntu but i don't belive it's totally supported | 03:29 |
sprockets2 | woot youtube tutorial | 03:30 |
cryptodira | bc81_, those two items i can create with the custom app launcher... but they fail to survive a reboot, nor do any other items that I add from the applications group stay put after a reboot... hence, i must be doing something incorrectly | 03:30 |
mobius2 | greetings Ubuntu channel | 03:30 |

ActionParsnip | sprockets2: flwm is as light as they come :) | 03:30 |

Roasted | Gartral, yeah not seeing how to rename it. but whatever, I'll figure it out. | 03:31 |
Roasted | Gartral, appreciate your help bro. | 03:31 |
sprockets2 | im going to try LXDE | 03:31 |
mickster04 | mobius2: just plug it in and see | 03:32 |
Nitrohax | mobius2, have you tried to use a program called cheese? | 03:32 |
mickster04 | mobius2: there will be a generic usb webcam driver that may well work | 03:32 |
bc81_ | cryptodira: when you log in, you try choosing a different session? | 03:32 |
mobius2 | I have attempted camorama as well as cheese to no avail | 03:32 |
ActionParsnip | mobius2: run: lsusb one line will identify the device, websearch the 8 character hex id. The make and model is fairly worthless | 03:32 |
Chipzzz | russell__: if you type "lsmod | grep radeon" do you get several lines back? | 03:32 |
cryptodira | bc81_, no, i have not tried that. | 03:32 |
mobius2 | ActionParsnip, thanks I will try that | 03:32 |
ActionParsnip | mobius2: as Nitrohax says, cheese is a god first stop. It may just work. If not use the lsusb ID | 03:33 |

qwerty1 | so at install of 10.04 its says initramfs unable to find medium conatinig a live file system...built in commands....what do I type? | 03:57 |
coraxx | apet4u: have you tried to install the "backport-kernel-modules" package ? ...just curious. | 03:57 |
AbhijiT | !cn | Sheldon | 03:57 |
ubottu | Sheldon: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道:打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk | 03:57 |
apet4u | dont think so | 03:58 |
Chipzzz | russell_1: Me too... got it figured out... will give you the commands | 03:58 |
Chipzzz | russell_1: start out with "sudo su" so you don't have to sudo everything | 03:59 |
russell_1 | Chipzzz : fantastic, thanks mate | 03:59 |
apet4u | coraxx: were can i find those? | 03:59 |
joljam | I am getting the message "Unable to seek on /dev/sda" when use sudo fdisk -l in ubuntu lucid | 03:59 |
coraxx | apet4u: ever since the ath5k and its predessesor was includes in the kernel modules they have been nothing but trouble ... some of the fixes (not all) how been known to be included in the backport-packages (used it once myself, when I couldn't even get the card to work at all) | 04:00 |
Chipzzz | russell_1: then "/usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh", "apt-get remove --purge fglrx*", "apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon" | 04:00 |
Chipzzz | russell_1: that will get rid of all the old junk | 04:01 |
russell_1 | Chipzzz : /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh: No such file or directory | 04:01 |
apet4u | coraxx: Im willing to try it... cause it seems to work fine as long as the connection is unsecured | 04:02 |
Chipzzz | russell_1: excellent!... continue | 04:02 |
russell_1 | Chipzzz : then cannot locate any of the packages | 04:02 |
ActionParsnip | joljam: sounds like a bad drive. I'd grab the ultimate boot cd and test the drive using the manufacturers tool | 04:02 |
gaelfx | apet4u: those backports are most easily found in Synaptic | 04:02 |
apet4u | thankies ill go fetch them | 04:02 |
gaelfx | apet4u: just search for backports ath | 04:02 |
russell_1 | Chipzzz : ok - then it removed a couple | 04:03 |
coraxx | apet4u: in the repository you should find something like "linux-backports-modules-wireless-" (and the depeding on your Ubuntu dist, the name of it) | 04:03 |
Chipzzz | russell_1: install the new stuff with: "apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati", "apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri", "apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core" | 04:03 |

joljam | ActionParsnip To begin with.. I got this message when I noted that my sd card was not detected... | 04:03 |
Chipzzz | russell_1: and finally, reconfig it all with: "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 04:04 |
coraxx | apet4u: is it installed on a HP Laptop ...just curious as some of them have problem with that card. | 04:04 |
Gartral | !clone | 04:04 |
ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 04:04 |

apet4u | coraxx: its an ACER Aspire5520 | 04:04 |
joseph__ | I have a minor problem. Whenever I use the folder shortcuts in Places, it redirects me to the archive manager instead. | 04:05 |
ohsix | coraxx: log back in in english and it should ask the same thing | 04:05 |
coraxx | apet4u: ah ok...no worries then | 04:05 |
russell_1 | Chipzzz : ok ran them all | 04:05 |
tator | i just loaded ubuntu so far i dont like it thinking about trying suse linux | 04:05 |
Chipzzz | russell_1: and the dpkg-reconfigure? | 04:05 |
coraxx | ohsix: it doesn't (if it was _that_ easy ...I would be embarrased to be here ;-) ) | 04:06 |

semitones | Hey -- I'm looking for a replacement for gnome-panel to replicate some of the useful features of the windows 7 taskbar, namely the ability to group program windows together and show full previews when you hover your mouse over the icon. Is DeskbarX a good program for that, or should I use something else? | 04:07 |
ubutartar_ | xD | 04:07 |
ActionParsnip | ubutartar_: http://getswiftfox.com/deb.htm | 04:07 |
ohsix | coraxx: it's the same thing thats run with your session | 04:07 |

ubutartar_ | ActionParsnip: yea thats the command we used exactlym in the second part, without doing the first | 04:08 |
coraxx | ohsix: The Danish names .... the critical one is the "Desktop" which is now reffered to as "Skrivebord" | 04:08 |
ActionParsnip | ubutartar_: then you need to either add the repo, or use the deb file | 04:08 |
coraxx | apet4u: I'm not sure what you mean ...what do you mean ? | 04:09 |
semitones | ActionParsnip, Thanks, but I've already looked at that. I'm interesed in if anyone has first hand experience using something like DeskbarX :) | 04:09 |
ubutartar_ | ActionParsnip: i'm trying to get this human to do this and he keeps being add and shutting the pc down... | 04:09 |
ubutartar_ | he's running off a usb stick.. | 04:10 |
apet4u | coraxx: I went to the Synapitc package manager and typed in what you told me to search and got 0 results | 04:10 |
ohsix | coraxx: it looks like you have to change the default language again to do it | 04:10 |
Osmodivs | If I reinstal Xorg, Will all my settings be reseted? | 04:10 |

ohsix | coraxx: there's also .config/user-dirs.locale and user-dirs.dirs | 04:11 |
ubutartar_ | firefox and network probably arew getting scattered all over the drive.. | 04:11 |
russell__ | Chipzzz : it booted, how can I check ? lsmod? | 04:11 |
apet4u | coraxx: " Backport ath" | 04:11 |
ActionParsnip | semitones: do you mean dockbarx? | 04:11 |
Chipzzz | russell__: yup... lsmod | grep radeon | 04:11 |
coraxx | ohsix: YES ...that was one of the things I was looking for...the damn location of the setting...thanx man...let me just check it out | 04:11 |
ohsix | coraxx: strace is your friend | 04:11 |
russell__ | Chipzzz : Nothing :*( | 04:11 |
Gartral | how do i install a local deb in command line? gdebi is gone. | 04:11 |
ActionParsnip | semitones: I've used that script before, just for a giggle | 04:11 |
ActionParsnip | Gartral: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb | 04:12 |
russell__ | Chipzzz : is it related to xorg.conf? | 04:12 |
Chipzzz | russell_: scary! | 04:12 |
ubutartar_ | does ubuntu support wifi n yet? | 04:12 |
coraxx | apet4u: (if you noticed, I did not ask for you to search for "ATH" at any time...some other chatter said that ...please look at my search string again) | 04:12 |
semitones | ActionParsnip, yeah, docbarx. What did I say lol | 04:12 |
ActionParsnip | Gartral: deb files which are double clicked now open in software centre | 04:12 |

coraxx | ohsix: strace ? | 04:12 |
semitones | ActionParsnip, what was your experience with it? | 04:13 |
joseph__ | Hello all. I'm just looking how to fix my shortcut folders in Places. Whenever I click on them, I get sent to the archive manager instead of the folder I want. | 04:13 |
ohsix | coraxx: it traces system calls, try strace xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update | 04:13 |
Jordan_U | ubutartar_: Of course not all wireless cards are supported. I believe all Atheros cards have full support, including N hardware. | 04:13 |
Chipzzz | russell__: try lsmod | grep fglrx | 04:13 |
ubutartar_ | woot | 04:13 |

coraxx | apet4u: no worries :-) | 04:14 |
ActionParsnip | semitones: was ok, does what it says on the tin | 04:15 |
coraxx | ohsix: that sound _REALLY_ cool ...I just gotta try it out right now | 04:15 |
ohsix | coraxx: it's handy for finding what programs are touching without having to dig through a bunch of documentation for info you might never find | 04:15 |
semitones | ActionParsnip, alright. I'm just trying to gauge if it was buggy or anythng like that before i install it :P | 04:15 |

ubuntu_ | wireless manager does not let me acess wireless networks...serveral have not gone through. please help | 04:20 |

fds4Rm5f45 | What is the difference between the 10.04.1, 10.04.2, and the regular 10.04 dvd downloads? | 04:28 |
gaelfx | if I manually install the latest version of Transmission, will that cause any problems if I try to upgrade later? | 04:28 |
fds4Rm5f45 | on the mirror servers..I had a question, can anyone please help? | 04:28 |
uRock | fds4Rm5f45, the newer version will have more updates already installed | 04:29 |
gaelfx | I know the ppa's make it difficult, but I was wondering if manual installs are any better? | 04:29 |
ohsix | gaelfx: only with your manual install; theres a PPA with up to date versions in it if you want to just do that | 04:29 |
fds4Rm5f45 | ok that's what I thought, just checking..thank you | 04:29 |
fds4Rm5f45 | so 10.04.2 is the latest and newest, with the most installed updates? | 04:29 |
ActionParsnip | fds4Rm5f45: .1 and .2 have later versions of packages (saves large updates later). The DVD has more language packs and more apps available on the DVD for offline installing | 04:29 |
uRock | fds4Rm5f45, welcome | 04:29 |

Chipzzz | russell__: before you reboot, why not check the lsmods? | 04:29 |
gaelfx | ohsix: I thought that the ppa's would block an upgrade as well | 04:29 |
ohsix | gaelfx: manual install puts files that aren't tracked by the package manager all over your filesystem, so it's bad | 04:29 |
fds4Rm5f45 | ok thank you | 04:30 |
coraxx | fds4Rm5f45: because 10.04 is a Long Term Support-version ...each 6 month or so ... a sub-version is released...so when you download the ISO image and install ...you wont have to update you Ubuntu for more than 6 month behind. | 04:30 |
ohsix | gaelfx: nope, the ppa will merely supersede the version in the main repos; you can remove them cleanly at any time | 04:30 |
gaelfx | ohsix: gotcha, good point | 04:30 |
fds4Rm5f45 | oh ok I see, that makes sense. thank you for helping | 04:30 |

ActionParsnip | Prinler: what is your issue? | 04:42 |
Prinler | Ok, well what im trying to do is figure out if i can save my zoneminder dvr data to the usb drive. Gonna leave the drive in the computer all the time. So i need to figure out 1: where to change where the files are stored in zoneminder and 2: what the value of the usb is (example: /dev/hdd) | 04:42 |
gaelfx | intok: yeah, merge the bootstrap and the 7Gs and mount that to / (and format it), then mount the /home as /home and DON'T format | 04:43 |
jrmcm | Twitch: Ran fix through synaptic, no change | 04:43 |
mycosys | it will mount in /media | 04:43 |
GMH | okay | 04:43 |
gaelfx | intok: is there any special reason you have those two werid spaces at the beginning and end of your disk? | 04:43 |
mycosys | rather than changing the value in zoneminder prinler, use a symlink to where it mounts | 04:43 |
gaelfx | intok: 7GB, btw, is plenty of space for Ubuntu, if that's what you were worried about | 04:43 |
Prinler | mycosys | 04:44 |
twitch | jrmcm: how about "sudo apt-get install -f" | 04:44 |
Prinler | mycosys, symlink? | 04:44 |
GMH | my sound output is abnormally low in ubuntu. This happened after I upgraded from 7.04 to 10.04. Googling about this problem shows that i'm not the only one. i tried finding my model of sound card but i'm not sure if i'm taking this the right way. Alsamixer things are all maxed. | 04:44 |

jrmcm | ok let me run it | 04:45 |
mycosys | symlink prinler - use 'ln -s <source location> <target location>' - makes a file appear to be in 2 places effectively | 04:45 |
intok | gaelfx Nothinging special that I can see, used a blank 250Gb drive to dual boot Debian with OS X on it's own 160Gb, lettig the debian installer make the partitions itself | 04:45 |

mycosys | prinler it is standard practice, leave it wher it mounts and create the storage directory with a symlink. then if it doesnt mount zoneminder will not be able to record, if you dont do it and it doesnt mount you will be unable to mount it again until you clean out the storage directory of all files | 04:51 |

ActionParsnip | Prinler: sudo fdisk -l wil show any and all disks with their partitions | 04:55 |
ActionParsnip | !sound | GMH | 04:56 |
ubottu | GMH: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

hipitihop | ActionParsnip, could you please elaborate, if I have device listed "Bus 001 Device 096: ID 046d:0896 Logitech, Inc. OrbiCam" | 04:56 |
mycosys | prinler - so see what changes when you do 'ls /dev/disk/by-path' when you insert it | 04:56 |
mycosys | should start with /media | 04:56 |
lynx7os5 | if your comp is duel booting win7 and ubuntu, and you decide to wipe ubuntu and start a fresh install but maybe not right away... can you still boot windows even with grub gone? | 04:56 |

lynx7os5 | or would i have to wipe win7 too and reinstall it? | 04:56 |
ActionParsnip | lynx7os5: you can use your windows CD to reinstate the bootloader] | 04:57 |
Prinler | it only shows my sata drive | 04:57 |
hipitihop | ActionParsnip, yes, and var/logmessages frequnelty shows "kernel: [248670.112228] vc032x: probe of 1-4:1.0 failed with error -22" so I thought just disable it | 04:57 |

wayfinder | my question. I can ssh to remote machine on local lan through my phone. I can remote desktop to that same computer. I can sftp via file browser gui to said machine. BUT when i open terminal and type "ssh wayfinder@host:port" i get a could not resolve hotname error. I have port forwarding set correctly on my router. I am on ubuntu 10.04, it has been awhile since i used the ssh comand but i dont remeber this problem at all. help? | 05:20 |
Brian_ | ActionParsnip: it says S3 UniChrome Pro | 05:21 |
Chipzzz | wayfinder: since the phone will ssh to it, the host must be ok... why not try just "ssh host" or "ssh wayfinder@host"? | 05:23 |
GMH | interesting. it tells me to install the linux-backports-modules-alsa-generic (or [thatstuff]-pae) meta-package, but such package(s) do not exist. | 05:23 |
ohsix | GMH: they have the version name in it now | 05:23 |

xangua | abhinav_singhif you want to | 05:46 |
Jordan_U | chriss_: It's not wrong per-se, it's just that Wubi has some disadvantages relative to a normal dual boot install where Ubuntu gets its own partition. | 05:46 |
ohsix | Prinler: yes | 05:47 |
kevdog | my advice -- dual boot and don't do wubi -- in fact I'd do a vm before wubi | 05:47 |
abhinav_singh | xangua ..i mean it will not give any error right | 05:47 |
Chipzzz | nRy: sorry, it was line 33... if you unplug the drive, I'll bet all your drives with bad partition tables go away | 05:47 |
chriss_ | Jordan_U is there anything I can do or even undo the wubi install | 05:48 |
Jordan_U | chriss_: You can uninstall Wubi and install Ubuntu normally. You'll have to be sure that there are no files within wubi that you haven't copied somewhere else first. | 05:49 |

Chipzzz | kevdog: rofl... don't feed it & it'll get tired & go away | 05:57 |
ohsix | having trouble | 05:57 |
ohsix | kevdog: truecrypt is badstuff | 05:58 |
kevdog | I'll starve it, put it on a hunger strike, and then tempt it with a Beggin' strip just to smack it in the mouth | 05:58 |
ohsix | wikipedia meta article on drive encryption is a friend | 05:58 |
Chipzzz | ohsix: why is truecrypt bad? | 05:58 |
kevdog | ohsix: well what other way would you suggest if windows compatibility is needed? | 05:59 |
ManateeLazyCat | I have try apt-p2p, why all download is from repository, not from apt-p2p peer? No apt-p2p user? | 05:59 |
ohsix | kevdog: i'll find the name of the good one, in sort ecryptfs is mountable on windows | 05:59 |
kevdog | ecryptfs for windows -- you sure about that? | 06:00 |
sparr | I've got two Ubuntu machines on a LAN. What's the easiest way to share files between them? | 06:01 |
ohsix | kevdog: freeofte | 06:01 |
kevdog | let me look at that, brb | 06:01 |
th0r | sparr: map network drives in each | 06:01 |
mal10c | sparr: i would use ssh and use the connect to server option to map a folder | 06:02 |
ohsix | Chipzzz: you might as well not run truecrypt if you want the benefits of encryptions & obfuscation | 06:02 |
earthmeLon | sparr SAMBA is windows-like/compatible file sharing | 06:02 |
th0r | ohsix: have you more words of wisdom like those? | 06:02 |
earthmeLon | sparr, you can also use scp from the command line if you have openssh server installed on both pcs | 06:03 |
Chipzzz | ohsix: thanks, I'll keep it in mind & check into freeOFTE | 06:03 |
bastidraZor | sparr: install openssh-server on both and then you can use Places > Connect to Server > via SSH .. it'll put a link on your desktop (if you checkmark the bookmark option for fast mounting) and you can drag and drop. | 06:03 |
th0r | Chipzzz: do yourself a favour and check into truecrypt | 06:04 |
sparr | mal10c: can you be more specific? which application would I do that in? | 06:04 |
sparr | earthmeLon: I'm having trouble using the built-in SMB sharing because the files are on a dmask=077 mount so it can't set the desired permissions | 06:04 |
mal10c | sparr: actually bastidraZor did a good job explaining it | 06:04 |
ohsix | kevdog: but freeofte is just for the windows side of things, native linux things do the rest | 06:04 |
Chipzzz | th0r: Ok... I'll check it out as well... didn't mean to start a war ;( | 06:05 |
earthmeLon | bastidraZor, does that use sshfs? | 06:05 |
sparr | bastidraZor: ok, the machine shows up in Places > Network, how can I get its IP from that? | 06:05 |
bastidraZor | earthmeLon: yes | 06:05 |
ohsix | Chipzzz: if you're going to bother encrypting things you might as well use something thats not open to just about every trivial crypto attack there is | 06:05 |
kevdog | how about just nfs? | 06:05 |
ManateeLazyCat | Anyone use apt-p2p here? I try apt-p2p, but haven't any data download from p2p . :( | 06:06 |
bastidraZor | sparr: you can use its hostname.local | 06:06 |
kevdog | this freeofte thing -- looks like an update hasn't been pushed in a while? | 06:06 |
ohsix | also, truecrypt on the linux side of things is very ugly | 06:06 |
sparr | I don't have admin credentials on the server that has the files I want to access from the other computer. I may be stuck using the built-in SMB sharing | 06:07 |
sparr | how can I get around the permissions problem? | 06:07 |
Chipzzz | I'll see what the exalted symantec has to say about disk encryption... they'll know (rofl) | 06:07 |
pratik_narain | I have problem booting with ubuntu 10.10 live cd. help plz | 06:07 |
earthmeLon | what's wrong with cryptfs? | 06:08 |
ohsix | Chipzzz: disk encryption in general is bullshit; but the novelty of some encrypted area is not | 06:08 |
drexl | pratik_narain: what's the problem? I'm no expert but I got it installed.. | 06:08 |
sparr | earthmeLon: so, I'm using SAMBA, configured from the default GUI "Sharing" dialogs. the problem is that it wants to change permissions on the shared files, but my user can't change those permissions | 06:08 |
bastidraZor | sparr: you still need to proper permissions regardless of what protocol you use. have the server admin add you to the group and give you group permissions to access the files. | 06:08 |
ohsix | convenience is too in the way for a whole volume, but for a planned area it's a concious thing to move things in and out, provide authentication information and all that | 06:09 |
earthmeLon | sparr, Are you able to connect/see files? | 06:09 |
kevdog | ohsix: Unless you are trying to hide p0rn from the canadian mounties -- remember story about such a man about 2 years ago who got caught -- cops turned his computer off -- when rebooted entire computer was encrypted -- courts couldn't compel him to give up password -- | 06:09 |
ohsix | kevdog: heh in canada they can compel passwords, as anywhere else | 06:09 |
th0r | kevdog: we shouldn't feed the trolls | 06:09 |
pratik_narain | drexl: actually I've installed ubuntu on the same pc using the same dvd and drive. But now when i'm booting, it just gives me blank screen with blinking cursor after the menu to select try ubuntu. | 06:10 |
gaelfx | kevdog: or hide it from a crazed ex/wife/other type of partner | 06:10 |
ohsix | in canada its even harsher than in the US | 06:10 |
sparr | earthmeLon: I can connect and see the names of the shares, but can't mount them, presumably because the permissions on the sharing machine are incorrect | 06:10 |
ohsix | encryption is for plausible deniability | 06:10 |
ishimeru | good evening folks | 06:10 |
sparr | bastidraZor: my user has permission to access the files, but not to change permissions on the files | 06:10 |
ohsix | or slowing down your entire disk, depending on how cool you are | 06:10 |
Chipzzz | ohsix: lol | 06:10 |
bastidraZor | sparr: once you get them to your box you can then change the permissions, if need be. | 06:11 |
kevdog | cant you use cryptfs mounting it over sshfs | 06:11 |
drexl | pratik_narain: I had the exact same problem, the live portion of the distro did not work at all, I could only install | 06:11 |
Chipzzz | like everything, encryptoin has its place | 06:11 |
earthmeLon | sparr, did the 'server' set up samba so that your user can access those shares? | 06:11 |
=== satamusic_ is now known as satamusic | ||
ohsix | Chipzzz: its for stuff that you can't let out of your possession without concious effort | 06:11 |
sparr | bastidraZor: I can't get to them, because my "client" computer can't mount the shares from the "host" computer | 06:12 |
ohsix | which is generally not a lot | 06:12 |
pratik_narain | drexl: Is it a known issue. | 06:12 |
kevdog | I thought plausible deniability required that the encryption key was somehow released to the masses -- so in essence when your key was found you could say a bunch of other people had this too | 06:12 |
drexl | pratik_narain: don't know.. | 06:12 |
sparr | earthmeLon: it's the default ubuntu 10.10 samba configuration. my user has permission to create shares, and can access the files in question | 06:12 |
hypatia | kevdog: that's a different PD scenario | 06:12 |
drexl | pratik_narain: do you have areally old crappy computer like me? | 06:12 |
Chipzzz | ohsix: you sound impassioned on the subject, are you in the security field? | 06:13 |
ohsix | kevdog: plausible deniability is being able to say something is there and someone not being able to prove otherwise beyond reasonable doubt | 06:13 |
pratik_narain | drexl: actually I just have to restore grub as I've installed win7 on the same computer. Is there any way I can do it without the live disk? | 06:13 |
th0r | Chipzzz: I hope not | 06:13 |
pratik_narain | drexl: btw, old computers are not necessarily crappy | 06:13 |
ohsix | Chipzzz: god no, i just wanted to know which ones were for show; and if any of them were actually usable | 06:13 |
hypatia | so in this case, PD is having a second password that will open a partition / account / whatever that has innocuous files instead of the real files | 06:13 |
ohsix | th0r: ru a hax0r | 06:13 |
th0r | ohsix: no...I do serious computer work | 06:14 |
earthmeLon | sparr, have you added users to samba? | 06:14 |
drexl | pratik_narain: use another live distro I guess.. I luv my old shitbox | 06:14 |
Chipzzz | ohsix: so you did a fair amount of homework on the subject? | 06:14 |
ohsix | hypatia: or several, or one; or not having much that can be subject to statistical attacks to reasonably be expected to be an encrypted area, subject to search | 06:14 |
jon_athon | anyone know a good AVI converter? | 06:14 |
ecinx3 | is it possible to use a gui app from my laptop on this computer? with all the settings and plugins from the laptop? in this case gvim | 06:14 |
ohsix | th0r: truecrypt is srs bidnezz omg | 06:14 |
sparr | earthmeLon: I am not the admin on that computer, so I am not sure. My user can create shares, and those shares appear on the network to other computers, so I think the answer is yes | 06:15 |
ohsix | th0r: if you don't know about the attacks truecrypt is open to i don't think you have much room to speak on the subject | 06:15 |
pratik_narain | drexl: I'll try so. Right now, I'm posting the problem on the forums. Lets see if anybody replies. | 06:15 |
nixjr | how can i tell if the "flashplugin-installer" in the package manager is amd64 and not 32bit? | 06:15 |
earthmeLon | sparr, do you have admin access the the server? | 06:15 |
semitones | Is it possible to have the "applications / places / system " menus, but take away the text labels and replacing them with symbols (to save space) | 06:15 |
ohsix | knowing the bad parts of anything is how you tell if it's fit for purpose; or for show | 06:15 |
semitones | I already know about the "main menu thing" | 06:15 |
kevdog | truecrypt has been compromised? Didn't hear of that but interesting | 06:16 |
sparr | earthmeLon: no | 06:16 |
sparr | earthmeLon: however, the admin has given me (or I always had by default, not sure which) the ability to create shares | 06:16 |
ohsix | kevdog: not compromised, it's a different thing to attack it | 06:16 |
earthmeLon | sparr, in order for you to access files on the server, the server needs to be configured non-default | 06:16 |
hypatia | ohsix: are you talking about the cold boot attack or something else? | 06:16 |
drexl | pratik_narain: I don't know how your computer is setup but you might try to boot in failsafe mode and then grub-install /dev/sdx x being the boot sector of a device | 06:17 |
ohsix | kevdog: while encryption gets you encrypted things with a password to access it, you can also detect encrypted areas and do things like let the system encrypt things for you and discover what it's doing | 06:17 |
ohsix | hypatia: not really, key/password compromise is much easier with a human in play; no need for shenanigans ;] | 06:18 |
kevdog | Oh I knew tc containers or volumes were detectable | 06:18 |
pratik_narain | drexl: yeah, but there is no visible failsafe mode on the 10.10 boot menu. | 06:18 |
hypatia | ohsix: rubber hose crypto? | 06:18 |
sparr | earthmeLon: I am already able to access files on the server, in directories that my user can change permissions on | 06:18 |
maco | hypatia: "up your nose with a..."? | 06:18 |
ohsix | or just calling them and asking them, heh | 06:18 |
nixjr | how can i tell if the "flashplugin-installer" in the package manager is amd64 and not 32bit? | 06:18 |
sparr | earthmeLon: my problem is remote access to directories my user on the server has access to, but can't change permissions on | 06:19 |
ohsix | or knowing their mothers name, or their dogs | 06:19 |
hypatia | ohsix: we shall now call that the "hbgary attack" | 06:19 |
hypatia | hehe | 06:19 |
th0r | Chipzzz: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/28/brazil_banker_crypto_lock_out/ | 06:19 |
maco | hypatia: it was used on paris hilton too! nobody knows her dog's name is tinkerbell! | 06:19 |
hypatia | i am stuck in europe and need to login to the server, can you turn off the firewall and change the password to changeme123? | 06:19 |
earthmeLon | sparr, even though you can view or modify a file in samba, you have to be in the group or owner of the file in order to modify the permissions | 06:19 |
hypatia | kthx. | 06:19 |
ohsix | but this is getting OT to a large degree, not knowing about truecrypt, what it purports to do, and what downsides it has, and at the same time recommending it is silly | 06:19 |
bastidraZor | nixjr: it will use whatever arch you've installed. its available in both 32 and 64bit. | 06:20 |
ohsix | th0r: that's great in brazil! but if people know you have encrypted information and are witholding it its practically very different in many regions of the world | 06:20 |
Chipzzz | th0r: very impressive! | 06:20 |
AegisX | Has anyone ever had a stuck pixel and fixed it? | 06:20 |
drexl | pratik_narain: O sorry I thought you had ubuntu installed with a grub generated menu | 06:20 |
rww | nixjr: You can ask #ubuntu, and we will tell you that the 64-bit package of flashplugin-nonfree is the 32-bit plugin in nspluginwrapper, because there is no stable/supported 64-bit flash plugin. | 06:20 |
ohsix | AegisX: the one time it wasn't a broken driver at the edge of the panel i was able to; theres a pixel exerciser that'll rapidly change color and that can sometimes help | 06:21 |
pratik_narain | drexl: no probs, thnx anyway | 06:21 |
ohsix | AegisX: i don't know of one for ubuntu but there was a javascript one you could run in a browser ... | 06:21 |
gaelfx | rww: there really is no difference between the two? that sucks | 06:21 |
th0r | Chipzzz: and look into Truecrypt's 'hidden volume' | 06:21 |
earthmeLon | sparr, if you create a file, are you able to modify it's permissions? | 06:21 |
nixjr | rww, ive had issues with the nspluginwrapper flooding my xsession-errors log files, how can i make sure i get a 64bit version instead? | 06:22 |
th0r | Chipzzz: and keep a grain of salt handy in irc | 06:22 |
ohsix | th0r: he can just read the feature page on the website if he wants to know what it says it does | 06:22 |
AegisX | ohsix: Yeah, I think I know it. I left it on for 8 hours, with no results. The pixel is right in the middle of the screen, so it's kinda annoying heh... | 06:22 |
rww | !flash64 | nixjr | 06:22 |
ubottu | nixjr: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 06:22 |
ohsix | AegisX: that sucks | 06:22 |
gaelfx | nixjr: the way I did it was to download the plugin straight from adobe and then add the .so file to the appropriate folder in my home folder | 06:22 |
AegisX | ohsix: I'm hesitant to try the rubbing or tapping method, but it looks like I'll have to. | 06:23 |
Chipzzz | AegisX: if you google around, there's a java package that does it and an online site that does it in a web page | 06:23 |
rww | nixjr: note that the methods on that page use the plugin direct from Adobe, not from Ubuntu's repos. | 06:23 |
rww | or... I guess from a PPA now. heh. | 06:23 |
ohsix | AegisX: mine was a hot red pixel that'd show up after cleaning every once and a while, light pressure on the center would make it appear; i rma'd right after purchase tho | 06:23 |
AegisX | Chipzzz: Yeah, I think it's jscreenfix or something? | 06:23 |
ohsix | AegisX: if exercising it doesn't fix it then it might not be the kind you can cajole into working | 06:24 |
git__ | i'm starting to hate time | 06:24 |
Chipzzz | th0r: I'm less concerned about the security of my data than most but interested in the subject anyway... and I keep plenty of salt around :) | 06:24 |
AegisX | ohsix: I purchased my laptop through eBay; the seller has a warranty, but I think it would be a major hassle to send it back. | 06:24 |
sparr | earthmeLon: depends on the mount. if it doesnt have a umask or dmask, yes. if it does, no (not for the masked bits) | 06:24 |
bastidraZor | git__: speed yourself to the speed of light and you can stop time. | 06:25 |
AegisX | ohsix: But yeah... I think it's probably time to try a physical fix -_- | 06:25 |
mickster04 | bastidraZor: not really accurate | 06:25 |
bastidraZor | mickster04: you've tried? | 06:25 |
gaelfx | bastidraZor: YOU'VE tried? | 06:25 |
ohsix | Chipzzz: oddly enough wikipedia is a good enough resource for checking most of them out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_disk_encryption_software but crypto is Hard(TM) and people just using it without knowing what they're doing can compromise even well conceived systems | 06:25 |
mickster04 | bastidraZor: it's theoretically unsound, time doesn't change speed, your perception of it does:p | 06:26 |
earthmeLon | sparr, I dont usually use samba, sorry I can't help. bastidraZor's suggestion was an easy way to implement sshfs. It would only require that you had an ssh account on the server | 06:26 |
ohsix | bastidraZor: you'd have infinite mass if you reached c! | 06:26 |

hypatia | and then what mickster04 said :) | 06:29 |
rww | nixjr: I think that message is referencing the environment the plugin was built in, not your actual compuer | 06:29 |
ohsix | nixjr: those are paths from the build of nspluginwrapper, you wont find them on the local computer; they're just to keep track of the file name and line for later debugging | 06:29 |
gaelfx | !vnc | o2oo | 06:29 |
ubottu | o2oo: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 06:29 |
Chipzzz | ohsix: all security is a compromise and I don't think there are any absolutes in encryption, but the schemes are getting pretty good | 06:29 |
o2oo | mickster04, hypatia, but I want the login runs like ssh login | 06:29 |
Jordan_U | chriss_: There is Wubi installer on the Ubuntu CD as well. To install normally you need to boot from the CD (Insert the CD into your CDROM drive and reboot the computer). | 06:30 |
o2oo | ubottu, but vnc is very slow & not real time. | 06:30 |
kevdog | Tunnel X or ssh | 06:30 |
mickster04 | o2oo: then I assume you want xforwarding? | 06:30 |
nixjr | rww, ah ok, i was just concerned since that specific file didnt seems ot be mentioned in the removal instructions on that site, now i know why | 06:30 |
kevdog | tunnel x over ssh | 06:30 |
ohsix | Chipzzz: you can't just tape it on and get any of the purported benefits of merely having it encrypted though; that it can't be grepped is like the smallest part of it :] | 06:30 |
o2oo | mickster04, xforwarding ? | 06:30 |

mickster04 | o2oo: preference> remote desktop | 06:33 |
mickster04 | o2oo: system > preferences > remote desktop | 06:33 |
o2oo | mickster04, if I use ssh, it worldn't have GUI | 06:34 |

chriss_ | Jordan_U I will be able to partition my drive that way and without affecting my windows files right ? | 06:34 |
mickster04 | o2oo: diud you try it with the inbuilt viewer? | 06:34 |
o2oo | mickster04, yes | 06:34 |

=== drc is now known as xyzzy | ||
o2oo | mickster04, I wonder if "Apps"->"internet"->"terminal server client" is the one? | 06:36 |
jon_athon | how do I change process priority? | 06:36 |
mickster04 | o2oo: try it | 06:37 |
mickster04 | o2oo: apps > internet > remote desktop viewer is what i would recommend | 06:37 |
o2oo | but i don't know how to config the server side of that | 06:37 |
maco | jon_athon: if you raise the niceness, it becomes nicer about yielding resources. so thatd be like "nice 10 <pid>" | 06:37 |
mickster04 | o2oo: system > pref > remote desktop | 06:37 |
=== Secret128__ is now known as Secret128 | ||
o2oo | mickster04, remote desktop viewer is not good for me. | 06:37 |
mickster04 | o2oo: we have told you thie three times now | 06:37 |
maco | jon_athon: if you lower it (this requires root) it becomes meaner / refuses to give up resources. that's "sudo nice -5 <pid>" | 06:37 |
mickster04 | o2oo: why not? | 06:37 |
jon_athon | maco, yielding system resources = more run time? | 06:37 |
maco | jon_athon: yielding = giving up | 06:37 |
jon_athon | faster processing? | 06:37 |
jon_athon | oh, i need faster processing | 06:38 |
ohsix | heh | 06:38 |
o2oo | mickster04, I have tried, not fast real-time enough | 06:38 |
ohsix | priorities don't get you that | 06:38 |
jon_athon | so lower nice? | 06:38 |
jon_athon | ohsix, eh, kinda backdoor | 06:38 |
hypatia | o2oo: have you tried freenx? | 06:38 |
Senjai | o2oo, then install another remote desktop client, if the one provided does not suit your needs and nobody else has an opinion, one can be found using a repository or google, (nobody !google me, I already know) | 06:38 |
jon_athon | higher priority of access to resources | 06:38 |
maco | jon_athon: nicenss ranges from -20 to 19, iirc. DO NOT make something lower than like -15 or important system things will stop working | 06:38 |
ohsix | what resources? there's io schedulers too | 06:38 |
th0r | o2oo: the closest you will come to real time remote access is x forwarding | 06:39 |
maco | ohsix: cpu & ram, iirc | 06:39 |
kevdog | !google | Senjai | 06:39 |
ubottu | Senjai: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 06:39 |
maco | jon_athon: ah sorry, i shouldve said renice for the command | 06:39 |

qwerty1 | whats the deal with that | 06:39 |
gaelfx | what's the best vnc client to use on a windows machine for accessing an ubuntu machine? | 06:39 |
maco | jon_athon: "nice" is for use when starting a /new/ process | 06:39 |
jon_athon | maco, gotcha, thanks | 06:39 |
Senjai | kevdog, i just said I already knew didn't I? So you just spammed the channel | 06:39 |
ohsix | well the nice level doesn't play into ram, and the nice levels just help make decisions when there are a set of programs that are ready to run | 06:39 |
hypatia | gaelfx: i usually use ultravnc | 06:39 |
etfb | I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, upgraded from 10.04. Usually, when I click a menu item with a fly-out submenu, the submenu doesn't appear. Sometimes it draws the shadow but not the menu or its contents. Anyone else seen this behaviour recently? | 06:40 |
kevdog | :p | 06:40 |
=== adante_ is now known as adante | ||
ohsix | but if you want a bit more cpu, generally renicing wont get you it, unless the app is completely cpu bound, a system call will get it rescheduled | 06:40 |
ohsix | if you have 2 processes that are running and you want to always favor one over the other, their relative priority is important | 06:41 |
jon_athon | eh, I guess if it has already got 75% of proc... that's enough resources | 06:41 |
qwerty1 | ubuntu just doesnt work with my computer...i hate that...was looking forward to trying it out | 06:41 |
maco | ohsix: is there a way to change io priorities? nice/renice was the only thing i ever heard of for changing resource allocation | 06:41 |

Senjai | o2oo, ? | 06:41 |
maco | ohsix: well yeah, but most stuff runs at 0 | 06:42 |
o2oo | freenx could do remote desktop ssh login? | 06:42 |
kevdog | yes | 06:42 |
ohsix | maco: also each block scheduler does different things with the priority, so if you're going to practically use it you might want to see what its effect is on the scheduler is, or if the current oen is appropriate | 06:42 |

maco | EmuAlert: put #!/bin/bash as the first line | 06:48 |
[thor] | EmuAlert: from the command line or from the gui? | 06:49 |
Senjai | qwerty1, you do not NEED 64 bit, you can run 32 bit on a 64 bit machine, but you loose some processing power. Though the reverse is not true | 06:49 |
maco | EmuAlert: list commands under that, and then you can run it "bash filename" or run "chmod +x filename" to make it directly executable in which case either "./filename" or double clck | 06:49 |

[thor] | scottnyc: i don't think i've ever used emacs, let alone the gtk version.. i am not qualified to answer. | 06:54 |
rww | melove: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and official derivatives. Please use your distribution's support channel for support. | 06:54 |
melove | rww its a ubuntu customized distro . | 06:55 |
[thor] | scottnyc: that said, it wouldn't surprise me if installing the gtk version automatically installs the other one. | 06:55 |
rww | melove: I'm aware. It's not a supported/official derivative. | 06:55 |
melove | :/ awkay kool | 06:55 |
Senjai | melove, it should have an IRC channel. | 06:55 |
melove | nop it doesnt have a one | 06:56 |
Senjai | melove, if not try #linux | 06:56 |
Senjai | melove, or the distro help channel | 06:56 |
maco | EmuAlert: chmod +x | 06:56 |
rww | melove: Their website says #gnacktrack on this server. | 06:56 |
maco | EmuAlert: or right click, properties, make it executable | 06:57 |
rww | melove: It has a huge total of 3 people in it. This is something to consider when picking a distro ;) | 06:57 |

o2oo | hi, how to config a xdmcp in the server side?? | 06:57 |
Senjai | melove, switch to ubuntu :P | 06:57 |
gaelfx | o2oo: easy, killer, once is enough | 06:57 |
Technikfreak | where is the vnc irc channel? | 06:57 |
maco | EmuAlert: if its only running one command (not a bunch) you could also make a launcher. should be able to right click the desktop and do that i think... | 06:57 |
Technikfreak | #vnc doesn't work | 06:57 |
Senjai | !xdmcp | o2oo | 06:57 |
ubottu | o2oo: xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it | 06:57 |
melove | my main os is ubuntu this is just a pentest os I wana customize | 06:57 |
Senjai | melove, understandable, though we must spend our time and resources to help those using Ubuntu, as that's were our expertise lay. As this is an OFFICIAL channel our obligation is to help those with Ubuntu related problems | 07:00 |
Senjai | melove, If this wasn't an official channel, I wouldn't see the probem, this is why I suggested #linux | 07:01 |
EmuAlert | chmod +x "~/launch google" doesn't seem to make a difference. It does have executable checked true in properties, but double click still brings it up in gedit. Meh. A launcher that runs the file would be a bit complicated but it WOULD work, and isn't that the point of Linux anyhow? Thanks | 07:01 |
Guest37546 | hi | 07:01 |
Senjai | EmuAlert, try chmod +u-x | 07:01 |
[thor] | Senjai: i think candlejack got him | 07:02 |

sparr | I have a non-admin account on an Ubuntu 10.10 computer. When I use the Sharing dialog to share files from my desktop it works normally. When I do the same to share files from an external storage device the share isn't mountable from the network because my user can't change the permissions to make the files world readable. Other than duplicating the files, is there a solution to this? | 07:02 |
silverarrow | hi | 07:02 |
silverarrow | how do I get the latest java in Maverick? | 07:03 |
o2oo | Senjai, how is XDMCP? | 07:03 |
Senjai | o2oo, haven't tried it | 07:03 |
o2oo | is it suit for me? | 07:03 |
Senjai | o2oo, try it and find out? Only you can decide | 07:03 |
Senjai | silverarrow, get it from the repository, | 07:03 |
Senjai | !java | silverarrow | 07:03 |
ubottu | silverarrow: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 07:03 |
ohsix | silverarrow: apt-get install default-jre, will get you the latest version in maverick | 07:03 |

silverarrow | thanks | 07:04 |
Senjai | silverarrow, :) | 07:04 |

Senjai | o2oo, farewell | 07:05 |
ohsix | sparr: is the drive you're trying to share NTFS formatted? | 07:05 |
silverarrow | both of you | 07:05 |
ohsix | or rather the directory on the drive | 07:05 |
silverarrow | I have been searching through packages in Package Manager, but hard to pick the right ones | 07:05 |
Senjai | silver.. I just installed all the sun-java6 packages | 07:06 |

RexM2 | Hi guys | 07:06 |
RexM2 | I have a question about eth ports | 07:06 |
Senjai | silverarrow, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 07:06 |
Senjai | silverarrow, note that isn't the sdk, just the runtime, If your developing with java you'll need other packages | 07:07 |
Senjai | !ask | RexM2 | 07:07 |
ohsix | (default-jre brings in a jre) | 07:07 |
ubottu | RexM2: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 07:07 |
Senjai | ohsix, okay lol, I just know the way I did it | 07:07 |
Senjai | silverarrow, Maybe follow ohsix | 07:08 |
ohsix | ya me too | 07:08 |
Senjai | silverarrow, he knows more than I | 07:08 |
ohsix | sun jre has busted audio though, had to use openjdk | 07:08 |
RexM2 | Thanks! Ok.. how do i find out where my wireless card is configured on my netbook? eth0 or eth1, etc? | 07:08 |
silverarrow | thanks again | 07:08 |

RexM2 | it is running Ubuntu 10.04 netbook | 07:08 |
Senjai | ohsix, anything I use java for doesn't need audio, so I hadn't noticed | 07:08 |
odracir34 | is it possible to play blueray discs on a linux os with a buildin bluerayplayer | 07:08 |
Senjai | RexM2, ifconfig on the terminal | 07:08 |
RexM2 | ok | 07:08 |
silverarrow | my online bank are very fuzzy with latest version of Java, and I have't had java on ubuntu until now | 07:09 |
RexM2 | i did that but i couldnt make heads or tails out of the response! what should i look for? | 07:09 |

Prinler | Where is my www folder? | 07:09 |
Senjai | Starminn, I already ointed him that way | 07:09 |
Starminn | Senjai: My apologies. :) | 07:09 |
ohsix | Senjai: its a drag, cuz the sun java plugin works much better than icedtea; but i needed audio | 07:09 |
Senjai | Prinler, where ever you created it? default if you install apache, /var/www/ | 07:09 |
Diamondcite | RexM2: Though I'm assuming you are already connected to a wifi network... | 07:10 |
Prinler | ty | 07:10 |
Senjai | Starminn, sorry for sounding like a *** lol I just noticed that | 07:10 |
RexM2 | Yes I am on a wifi network. | 07:10 |
Senjai | RexM2, are you trying to find out what Card you have? or.. | 07:10 |
RexM2 | Where do I find Network Manage | 07:10 |
silverarrow | package sun java6 is not available, but is referred to by other packages... | 07:10 |
Starminn | Senjai: Haha, no I didn't think you sounded like one. I understand -- I would have done the same thing. Totally understandable. | 07:10 |
Senjai | Starminn, but if you just joined the channel you didn't know lol | 07:11 |
Diamondcite | RexM2: Then Right Click on the Wifi icon on top, select connection information the name in the () is your wireless adapter... ie wlan0 | 07:11 |
RexM2 | I'm trying to run Firesheep for work to detect security exposures... are you familiar with Firesheep? | 07:11 |
silverarrow | I have a newly installed Maveric, it is pretty out of the box, only ran first update just now | 07:11 |
RexM2 | Yes, it says wlan0 | 07:11 |
Diamondcite | RexM2: Never heard of it, but in linux, everyday you learn something new =P | 07:11 |
Senjai | RexM2, neither have I | 07:12 |
Senjai | RexM2, are you new to linux? or seasoned? | 07:12 |
RexM2 | It is a way to detect security risks over WPA wireless networks | 07:12 |
Senjai | I understand | 07:12 |
RexM2 | Ive used Ubuntu for a couple of months, so i might know the basics, but that is it. | 07:12 |
Starminn | Senjai: Yeah I did. I usually wait and watch a bit but msot people don't invoke the bot much so botting is usually a safe bet. I should have stayed back though, so no hard feelings man. :) | 07:12 |
Zeu5 | hi there, i am having problems with this could not update ~/.ICEauthority | 07:13 |
Prinler | when i try to move things to the www folder it says permission denied | 07:13 |
Zeu5 | i have tried changing permissions and ownership . didnt work, cannot go to recovery mode from grub menu. computer hanged. please advise. | 07:13 |
Starminn | Prinler: Your user may not hae access to the www group | 07:13 |
Zeu5 | i have tried delting the file as well. didnt work | 07:13 |
Senjai | RexM2, WPA2 is normally fairly secure, stay away from WEP. The best way to test vulns is not to use a program, but to stay up to date with exploits and test them yourself | 07:13 |
silverarrow | I have used previous versions of Ubuntu, but never fuzzed too much bout things like online banking, Net TV, but I am in a crisis and this is the only machine I have for weeks | 07:13 |
Prinler | hmmm | 07:13 |
silverarrow | I have no Windows to relay on | 07:14 |
Prinler | how could i not? im the only user | 07:14 |
Senjai | RexM2, W.g. hack your own network. | 07:14 |
[thor] | Prinler: sudo mv | 07:14 |
Starminn | [thor] Yes but I'm seeing if we can avoid sudo. :) That will work almost definitely but still. Hardly a permanent fix, no? | 07:14 |
Prinler | says im not the owner so i cant change permissions lol | 07:14 |
Prinler | how funny | 07:14 |
Senjai | RexM2, there are many exploit databases I could point you to, but they are not suitable for this channel, if you need more info /msg me | 07:14 |
Starminn | Prinler: Well you could always chown/chmod your account to have access to it | 07:15 |
JeffCBR | I need help adding eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces or the commands like ifup/ifdown for however ubuntu handles my nic. | 07:15 |
Senjai | Prinler, if you install a program using root, root created it not you, therefore root has access to it, use sudo chown $USER directory to take over control | 07:15 |
Zeu5 | hi there, i am having problems with this could not update ~/.ICEauthority | 07:16 |
silverarrow | Would the sudo apt-get packages for Lucid work for Maverick? | 07:16 |
Senjai | JeffCBR, you always have hard questions, lol, everytime I see you. | 07:16 |
Zeu5 | i have tried changing permissions and ownership . didnt work, cannot go to recovery mode from grub menu. computer hanged. please advise. | 07:16 |
JeffCBR | Senjai: Sorry... ;) | 07:16 |
Starminn | Zeu5: Ask your question again. ActionParsnip can answer almost anything and he just entered after your query. ;) | 07:16 |

Ircnamesarehardt | Hello I have a question for the community. Im running 32bbit 10.10 and it only seems to find 2.7 gigs of ram. Is there something i can do or should i just upgrade to the 64 bit? | 07:17 |

ActionParsnip | Zeu5: boot to root recovery mode and chown the file back to your user | 07:18 |
Starminn | !pae | ircnamesarehardt | 07:18 |
ubottu | ircnamesarehardt: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 07:18 |

Zeu5 | Hi ActionParsnip , when i tried grub to login to recovery mode computer black screen > 5 minutes | 07:18 |
Ircnamesarehardt | Thanks ubotu! | 07:18 |
ActionParsnip | Zeu5: you need that prompt. do you use commands like that? | 07:19 |
Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: as far as i recall i did not do those commands | 07:19 |
silverarrow | if I install packages like mad, would it mess up my system? | 07:19 |
silverarrow | even a few wrong javas? | 07:19 |
Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: i know that i had this error after i tried installing ppstream and veetle last night | 07:20 |
JeffCBR | If I define eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces, will it cause some conflict in Ubuntu, since it seems to be handling my network card some other way? | 07:20 |
ActionParsnip | Zeu5: ok, you may want to change the boot options on root recovery to remove splash and quiet and add: nomodeset should be ok then | 07:20 |
[thor] | JeffCBR: ifconfig | 07:20 |
Prinler | Senjai, perfect fix ty | 07:21 |
JeffCBR | [thor]: Trying to ifconfig down eth0 gives an error. One second, while I get it. | 07:21 |
silverarrow | It looks like Java 6.4 is not available for Ubuntu | 07:21 |
Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: how do i change those settings? | 07:21 |
Senjai | Prinler, glad it helped | 07:21 |
Zeu5 | guys.. is ActionParsnip not here any more? | 07:21 |
JeffCBR | SIOCSIFADDR: No such device | 07:21 |
JeffCBR | down: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device | 07:21 |
Starminn | Zeu5: ActionParsnip just left. He may be back though. In the meantime Google "nomodeset" and you'll see what he was talking about | 07:22 |
JeffCBR | ifconfig clearly shows eth0, though. | 07:22 |
[thor] | JeffCBR: "ifconfig eth0 down" i believe | 07:22 |
silverarrow | if Java is installed from the Java's homepage would it be registered as a package in Package Manager? | 07:22 |
Starminn | Zeu5: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/ | 07:22 |
Starminn | silverarrow: The Ubuntu repos typically lag a little behind the main companies so if you want "The latest and greatest" download from the companies themselves. | 07:23 |
ohsix | silverarrow: if it's not installed with apt/dpkg it isn't known by them either | 07:24 |
Senjai | Starminn, silverarrow, correct, but the ones on the repos have been tested for compatability. so to ensure compatability, get the repo one | 07:24 |
ohsix | silverarrow: is there a specific reason you need a newer version? | 07:24 |
Starminn | Senjai silverarrow: Right. It may be a little old but it'll at least work. | 07:24 |
Starminn | "old" is a bad term. Just... "not new" | 07:24 |
Senjai | Starminn, silverarrow, if you get the "newest" one, it may have bugs and that may be the reason ubuntu hasnt hosted it on the the repos | 07:25 |
silverarrow | I see | 07:25 |
ohsix | unless theres a security issue or a good reason, stuff stays stable durign the release | 07:25 |
h3r0 | hi friend | 07:26 |

Starminn | silverarrow: Try using Chromium. | 07:27 |
silverarrow | the browser? | 07:27 |
Zeu5 | Starminn: i tried the nomodeset and restarted. but in recovery mode i am still getinng a black screen | 07:27 |
Zeu5 | i also did a sudo update-grub | 07:27 |
Guest33786 | what is the meaning about "install and configure Amanda backup server software on Quartz, which is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux." | 07:27 |
ohsix | silverarrow: you probably need to install the icedtea plugin if you're using the default-jre (which is openjdk by default) | 07:27 |
Guest33786 | what is quartz? is it kind of hardware? | 07:27 |
Starminn | silverarrow: Yeah. I know Chromium ships with its own version of Flash (my Chromium beats my Firefox in Flash performance) so Java may do something similar with it | 07:28 |
Guest33786 | or an OS? | 07:28 |
Starminn | Guest33786: From 3 seconds of Googling I get "Quartz specifically refers to a pair of Mac OS X technologies" | 07:28 |
ActionParsnip | Zeu5: sounds like you will need to boot to live cd and chroot to the installed OS | 07:28 |
Guest33786 | oh is it hardware?or software? | 07:28 |
Starminn | Guest33786: https://kb.iu.edu/data/ajeb.html | 07:29 |

silverarrow | hmm | 07:31 |
Zeu5 | okie i just rebooted my computer and i am now at the grub menu | 07:31 |
Zeu5 | and i just placed my 10.04 64 bit dvd installation inside the rom | 07:31 |
Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: What is my next move? | 07:31 |
ActionParsnip | !chroot | 07:31 |
ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 07:31 |
Senjai | Zeu5, you have to boot from CD, keep the CD in the rom before booting | 07:31 |
Senjai | Zeu5, make sure your BIOS is set to boot from CD before hard drive | 07:31 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: how do i reboot from grub menu? | 07:31 |
hensem | does anyone know which solution backup is better?is it bacula or amanda?(easy to use) | 07:32 |
Senjai | Zeu5, it is safe to use the power off button from grub | 07:32 |
Zeu5 | okie then. here goes nothing | 07:32 |
Senjai | Zeu5, just hardboot it, then go into your system BIOS | 07:32 |
ActionParsnip | Zeu5 ctrl+alt+del will reboot | 07:32 |
ohsix | hensem: do you need remote backups to be coordinated like bacula and amanda does? there is software that can do remote backups without a backup server | 07:32 |
Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: too late. i use power off. instead f catrl alt del | 07:32 |
Zeu5 | it still went to grub menu instead. | 07:33 |
Senjai | Zeu5, its okay to hardboot grub, it doesnt use a lot of resources | 07:33 |
Senjai | Zeu5, press F12, or F2 before it gets to grub | 07:33 |
hensem | oh really ohsix?what kind of backup solution is that? | 07:33 |
Senjai | Zeu5, there should be a screen before it gets to grub | 07:33 |
hensem | yes i want to do remotely and i hope automatically too... | 07:33 |
Senjai | Zeu5, depending on your computer | 07:33 |
ActionParsnip | Zeu5: you can damage components with hard poweroff. Ctrl+alt+del would make the OS die gracefully | 07:34 |
ohsix | hensem: duplicity, deja-dup is a gui for starting jobs at regular times and when volumes are pluggged int | 07:34 |
Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: i am back to grub. please teach me the proper way from here. installation dvd in rom | 07:34 |

ActionParsnip | Zeu5: before grub shows. Press F11 and you can select cd to boot | 07:35 |
Senjai | Zeu5, what type of computer do you have, Grub doesnt use many components so it doesn't matter, doesn't save anything, just reads | 07:35 |

Zeu5 | Delete boot option | 07:40 |
Senjai | Zeu5, no, but the CD/DVD before the HARDDRIVE option | 07:41 |
Senjai | put* | 07:41 |
Starminn | silverarrow: Sure thing. :) | 07:41 |
silverarrow | I have to get a book on ubuntu or something, | 07:41 |
silverarrow | I mean, the basic commands and stuff | 07:41 |
Starminn | !manual | silverarrow | 07:41 |
ubottu | silverarrow: 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/ | 07:41 |
Starminn | silverarrow: Oh, command line commands? Sorry. :) You might want this: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/cli.html | 07:41 |
[thor] | silverarrow: most programs will add manual pages on installation | 07:42 |
Senjai | Zeu5, how is that going? | 07:42 |
Zeu5 | okie wait i am playing ard with it | 07:42 |
Zeu5 | i think i jsut got it to work to boot up from cd | 07:42 |
[thor] | silverarrow: try "man <programname>" if you are stumped with a particular command line application | 07:42 |
Zeu5 | okie think its working. | 07:42 |
Senjai | Zeu5 :) | 07:42 |
Zeu5 | sorry for this. i am really really ubuntu noob despite almost 1 year on this | 07:43 |
silverarrow | starting java is like major uphill for my computer lol | 07:43 |
Senjai | Zeu5, make sure you didn't delete any options | 07:43 |
_skpl | bbs? | 07:43 |
Senjai | Zeu5, just rearrange the boot order, but dont delete anything | 07:43 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: i don think i deleted any option . just rearrange them | 07:43 |
Zeu5 | the options dun use any beginner friendly words like CD rom, harddisk | 07:43 |
Senjai | Zeu5, even dont rearrange anything else, just put CD on top :P BIOS is fussy | 07:43 |
WilceysTech | Hi all :) | 07:43 |
Senjai | Zeu5 yea I know | 07:43 |
Senjai | WilceysTech, Sup | 07:44 |
Zeu5 | i think its running.but its taking a logn time to bootup from CD | 07:44 |
ohsix | what's a cd | 07:44 |
Prinler | Senjai, shesh man, couldnt you just say... yes its supported with some tweeking? lol | 07:44 |
Zeu5 | please hang on everyone. | 07:44 |
[thor] | Zeu5: they were showing the hardware ID of the drives | 07:44 |
Senjai | Prinler, I didn't know the answer, I just know there are problems, so If I said that I might've given you the wrong answer | 07:44 |
Zeu5 | i see the default pink background of 10.04 | 07:44 |
Zeu5 | okie i get a try or install window | 07:44 |
Zeu5 | use try yes? | 07:45 |
Senjai | install | 07:45 |
Zeu5 | i mean i see a window showing try or install ubuntu LTS | 07:45 |
Senjai | Zeu5, if you want to install ubuntu use Install | 07:45 |
[thor] | Zeu5: so a wester digital 100GB might show --> 1 PO: WD100XXXATA | 07:45 |
Zeu5 | install? i already installed | 07:45 |
Senjai | Zeu5, what are you trying to do with the CD then | 07:45 |
Zeu5 | ActionParsnip told me to boot up from CD | 07:45 |
[thor] | Zeu5: use "try" | 07:45 |
Zeu5 | and he is no longer here.. ha | 07:45 |
Senjai | .. | 07:46 |
silverarrow | do I need to reboot for java to actibate? | 07:46 |
[thor] | Zeu5: you are going to chmod the permissions for those folders | 07:46 |
Zeu5 | i have an issue with the .ICEauthority file | 07:46 |
silverarrow | activate* | 07:46 |
Fuchs | Senjai: he should check the rights and owner of the .ICEAuthority file | 07:46 |
Fuchs | Senjai: so basically all he has to do is boot any live system and do an ls -l, then chown and maybe chmod | 07:46 |
Zeu5 | ActionParsnip last advice was to boot up from CD | 07:46 |
Starminn | (02:18:04 AM) Zeu5: Senjai: after i logged into my ubuntu i get a could not update .ICEauthority file /home/username/.ICEauthority | 07:46 |
Starminn | (02:18:08 AM) ActionParsnip: Zeu5: boot to root recovery mode and chown the file back to your user | 07:46 |
Senjai | zeu5, okay, click try | 07:47 |
Starminn | So basically what Fuchs said | 07:47 |
Zeu5 | recover mode did not work for me despite nomodeset | 07:47 |
Senjai | zeu5, then you can edit your ICEauthority from the CD berson | 07:47 |
Senjai | version* | 07:47 |
Zeu5 | okie so now i go into terminal from here yes? | 07:47 |
Zeu5 | i am inside the terminal now as ubuntu@ubuntu | 07:47 |
Zeu5 | so now i use sudo chmod .... | 07:47 |
Zeu5 | am i fcorrect? | 07:48 |
Starminn | Zeu5: "sudo chmod $USER /path/to/directory" | 07:48 |
Senjai | Starminn, no | 07:48 |
=== h3r0_ is now known as hensem | ||
Starminn | Zeu5:chown* | 07:48 |
Senjai | Starminn, Zeu5, dont use $USER | 07:48 |
hensem | what is tape backup?i think its kind of hardware.. not software.. is it right? | 07:48 |
Zeu5 | okie my machine name is ks-laptop and my username is ks | 07:49 |
Senjai | Starminn, Zeu5, $USER is ubuntu be ecause your using the CD, type type: sudo chown (username on your other operating system) /path/to/ice | 07:49 |
_Alex__ | hensem: Tape backup copies data to tape | 07:49 |
=== root is now known as Guest97558 | ||
hensem | oh i see | 07:49 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: so its | 07:49 |
Guest97558 | Hi | 07:49 |
hensem | means i can save it to dvd rw too right Alex? | 07:49 |
Starminn | I used "$USER" in the sense of a variable, Senjai. I didn't know it even existed as-is. | 07:49 |
Zeu5 | sudo chown ks:ks /home/ks/.ICEauthority | 07:50 |
YankDownUnder | Guest97558, You should NOT log in to IRC as "root" at all - let alone be online as "root" - it's bad manners, and highly insecure. | 07:50 |
Senjai | Starminn, yes, $USER replaces $USER with the current logged in user when you run it, just like $PATH is replaced by executable directories | 07:50 |
Starminn | Senjai. Hmph. Didn't know that. I guess that's what I get from working with PHP. :/ I'll keep that in mind, though. Thanks for the heads-up | 07:50 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: sorry cann you explain it again? with even more beginner friendly words | 07:50 |
Senjai | Starminn, try it, go into terminal and type $USER and hit enter | 07:50 |
[thor] | YankDownUnder: see the ~ in front of that root userame? all of that can be set manually | 07:51 |
Senjai | Zeu5, type pwd in the terminal and tell me what you get | 07:51 |
hensem | thank you _Alex__ | 07:51 |
Zeu5 | i get /home/ubuntu | 07:51 |
Zeu5 | i am "trying" Ubuntu from the CD | 07:51 |
Senjai | sorry Starminn, type echo $USER in command line | 07:52 |
Senjai | okay | 07:52 |
_Alex__ | hensem: What have i ever done to you for needing to thank? | 07:52 |
Starminn | Senjai: I figured it out. ;) | 07:52 |
Senjai | uhh, in ubuntu under Places, do you see your other operating system? | 07:52 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: i think so | 07:52 |
Zeu5 | shoudl i mount it? | 07:52 |
Senjai | click it | 07:52 |
Senjai | Zeu5 yes | 07:52 |
Zeu5 | yes found it | 07:53 |
Senjai | Zeu5, because right now your only under the CD's files, and the problem is under the hard drive | 07:53 |
Zeu5 | okie nautlius is opening it | 07:53 |
Zeu5 | so wat shd i do? | 07:53 |
Senjai | When its mounted | 07:53 |

Zeu5 | navigate it via terminal? | 07:53 |
Senjai | where is it mounted | 07:53 |
Senjai | yes | 07:53 |
Senjai | should be /media/something | 07:53 |
Senjai | type ls /media | 07:54 |

Gabryfan82 | I don't know how install vnc4server on linux that have only terminal (without monitor) only ssh | 08:06 |
Senjai | Zeu5, but is that what it says? | 08:06 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: Others Flder access greyed out dropdown first item is Creat and delete files | 08:07 |
Senjai | Zeu5 EXCELLENT :) | 08:07 |
Senjai | okay | 08:07 |
Senjai | Zeu5, we're making progress, we're going to try something else | 08:07 |
Starminn | k4g6: Not sure then | 08:07 |
Senjai | Zeu5, sudo chown ubuntu /path/to/home/folder | 08:07 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: just go ahead. | 08:07 |
k4g6 | Starminn: thanks. ill google it some more | 08:07 |
Senjai | Zeu5, I forget the path | 08:07 |
JXYZ | window solution | 08:07 |
Zeu5 | okie | 08:07 |
Senjai | Zeu5, does it run with no errors | 08:08 |
_Alex__ | JXIZ: does it work now? | 08:08 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: you want /media/yadayada/home or /media/yadaydad/home/ks | 08:08 |
Starminn | _Alex__ He left | 08:08 |
_Alex__ | Aha | 08:08 |
Senjai | Zeu5, the second | 08:08 |
aroman | hello, i want to use rsync to make a copy of my entire linux partition (that is, my root folder), and put it on an external hard drive to use as a backup. My question is, if I run rsync as root, telling to copy / to /media/MyDrive, while running the OS installed at / (that is, tell rsync to backup my computer while I'm still using it/it's running inside of it), will I run into problems? Is there anything that could cause rsync to fail when | 08:08 |
_Alex__ | why don't you use 'dd'? | 08:08 |
Zeu5 | okie i can now create or delete files from GUI Senjai | 08:09 |
aroman | _Alex__: what's wrong with rsync? | 08:09 |
_Alex__ | IDK | 08:09 |
Senjai | Zeu5, Awesome, but there is a problem, so don't get too cocky, I still need to instruct you | 08:09 |
Senjai | In the GUI | 08:09 |
Senjai | Zeu5, in the guy | 08:09 |
aroman | dd isn't good for backups, because rsync can checksum the files to know which to backup | 08:09 |
[thor] | aroman: as long as it is copying and not moving, i can't see how it would have any effect at all | 08:09 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: sorry about sounding anxious. i got some work needed to hand in at 5pm.. which is less htan 50 minutes frm now.. so | 08:09 |
_Alex__ | I allwais backup with dd | 08:10 |
kuru | I got this new box now. with a Gigabyte GA-PH67A-UD3 motherboard that has a built-in Realtek chip | 08:10 |
Senjai | Zeu5, In the gui, under OTHERS, set file access to read and write | 08:10 |
aroman | [thor]: that's what I was thinking | 08:10 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: okie in the GUI, yes? | 08:10 |
jadespider | perhaps not | 08:10 |
kuru | ALC892 to be exact.. Ubuntu doesn't seem to see it (I'm running Karmic) | 08:10 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: ithere is no such option | 08:10 |
kuru | looking online there are more questions than answers.. can anyone point me to a more definitive resource for information? | 08:10 |
kuru | I'm sort of at a loss here | 08:11 |
_Alex__ | kuru: Why the hell did you not dist-upgrade yet? | 08:11 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: None, List files only, Access files, Create and delete files | 08:11 |
Starminn | Zeu5: It's in right-click->Properties->PErmissions (is that what you meant Senjai?) | 08:11 |
Senjai | Zeu5, Create and delete Files, then in the second drop down, others: File Access: Read and Write | 08:11 |
iflema | k4g6: try colortest-8 colortest-16 etc... or man colortest-8 | 08:11 |
kuru | _Alex_, because I _just_ got the box and had a karmic cd.. ;) | 08:11 |
Senjai | Zeu5, starminn, hes already there | 08:11 |
kuru | _Alex_, and I have an important Qt app that breaks on Lucid | 08:11 |
k4g6 | iflema: thankkyou! | 08:11 |
whitefire | help me how to install driver NVIDIA GeForce 310M ( laptop acer aspire 5745g) on ubuntu 10.10 | 08:11 |
RobbieThe1st | kuru: Update to Maverick, then we might be able to help you? The new versions have more support anyway | 08:11 |
Zeu5 | oh sorry i forgot to refresh | 08:12 |
Zeu5 | okie Senjai done | 08:12 |
Senjai | Zeu5, now, the owner before you was #100 ? what was it | 08:12 |
RobbieThe1st | whitefire: Try going to "additional drivers" under "system" in the menu, activate the driver | 08:12 |
Zeu5 | Senjai1016 | 08:12 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: 1016 | 08:12 |
Senjai | Zeu5, okay, does it have a folder in /home? | 08:12 |
kuru | Maverick.. that's not even released proper yet | 08:12 |
ActionParsnip | Whitefire: install the nvidia-current package in software centre and reboot | 08:13 |
_Alex__ | kuru: marevic is the stable now | 08:13 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: no | 08:13 |
kuru | _Alex_, hrmm.. so I should skip the 10.04 LTS upgrade? | 08:13 |
dagon666 | anybody knows how to enable multicast forwarding in ubuntu ? trying to change /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/mc_forwarding from 0 to 1 always ends up with permission denied | 08:13 |
kuru | (about to hit 'Start Upgrade' button) | 08:13 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: i would have thought that the owner of ks folder is ks itself | 08:13 |
Senjai | Zeu5, okay, time to SHUT DOWN (not restart) your ubuntu, and take out the CD | 08:13 |
Senjai | Zeu5, time to boot into Ubuntu. | 08:13 |
ActionParsnip | Kuru: thi | 08:13 |
Senjai | Zeu5, when you get to the login screen tell me | 08:13 |
Prinler | !hdmi | 08:14 |
RobbieThe1st | kuru: I'd just download a 10.10 CD and install from that - Probably be faster. | 08:14 |
Zeu5 | Senjai: you positive? cause right now the owner of /home/ks is ubuntu | 08:14 |
Senjai | Zeu5, it doesn't matter, because everyone can access it | 08:14 |
=== adante_ is now known as adante | ||
Senjai | Zeu5, including other users, like ks | 08:14 |
ActionParsnip | Kuru: think about what version number maverick is, and then think how Canonical number releases | 08:14 |
Senjai | Zeu5, when you get in as ks, or 1016, you can change it back | 08:14 |
neil_____ | @Senjai a | 08:15 |
Senjai | Zeu5, as long as "others" can read and write files, and create and delet files | 08:15 |
Zeu5 | okay jus gone past grub | 08:15 |
Starminn | Kuru: Maverick (10.10) was released in '10, October (10th month) | 08:15 |
Senjai | neil_____, ? | 08:15 |
kuru | you know, going back to my original question, no one seems to be able to simply point me to a url, instead I'm being attacked for not memorizing Ubuntu's version system | 08:16 |
kuru | thanks a lot | 08:16 |
Senjai | Zeu5, tell me when you get to login | 08:16 |
silverarrow | hi again | 08:16 |
ActionParsnip | Kuru: karmic is supported til April. Could just use it til it dies as Natty (11 | 08:16 |
_Alex__ | kuru: I think that the audio chip is new, and it is not in the Karmic koala's kernel | 08:16 |
ActionParsnip | (11.04) will be out | 08:16 |
RobbieThe1st | kuru: Um, go to ubuntu.com. download from there> | 08:16 |
kuru | ActionParsnip, yeah I'm upgrading to 10.04 Lucid | 08:17 |
kuru | I need LTS | 08:17 |
Yerushalmi | I'm on Ubuntu Netbook Edition, and so my desktop isn't normal gnome but rather this Unity-style thing. Last week I ran an update, and discovered upon turning on the computer that I only have the desktop background picture, and it keeps blinking grey. The upper bar with the time and programs appears normal, and keyboard commands help me open things, but I don't have a desktop. Help! | 08:17 |
kuru | _Alex__, I see. Alright, fair 'nuff. Let's see if the newer kernel supports it | 08:17 |
ActionParsnip | Kuru: then a clean 10.04.2 will give a smoother ride | 08:18 |
Prinler | Anyone know how to get the sound to go over my hdmi? | 08:18 |
ohsix | Yerushalmi: it sounds like unity stopped liking your video card, you should try the unity2d session, or the classic desktop session; pick it on the login screen | 08:18 |
_Alex__ | Yerushalmi: As superuser 'aptitude install ubuntu-desktop' | 08:19 |
ActionParsnip | _Alex__: why not just prefix with 'sudo' then you don't need to add the superuser bit.. | 08:21 |
Yerushalmi | ohsix: The unity2d session actually works, but goes extremely slowly and for some reason doesn't load up a window manager automatically, I have to manually run metacity. I don't have other options than those two and xterm, though. | 08:21 |
ActionParsnip | _Alex__: also aptitude is no longer in a default i | 08:22 |
Yerushalmi | ohsix: Is there any way to go back to a previous version or try to reinstall the package or something? | 08:22 |
ActionParsnip | Install | 08:22 |
ohsix | Yerushalmi: there is but it's a pain in the butt, probably more worthwhile to report the bug thats keeping it from working and have it fixed | 08:22 |
Yerushalmi | ohsix: How would I do that? | 08:23 |
ActionParsnip | Yerushalmi: what videochip do you use? | 08:23 |
Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: are you there | 08:23 |
Zeu5 | ? | 08:23 |
ActionParsnip | Zeu5: aye | 08:23 |
Zeu5 | ActionParsnip: Senjai: is helping me which i appreciate greatly. however, i think i just got into more trouble now. | 08:24 |

ActionParsnip | Zeu5: ok. Did you run: sudo update-grub after you added it? | 08:27 |

gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_X-Fi#Linux_support check the linux support section, driver should be available in ALSA already. Did you check the cables were plugged in properly and all that? What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 08:48 |
Yerushalmi | So, general question for the channel, then: I've been running my computer off an SDHC card, allowing me to use my internal hard drive as swap. The reason I do this is because I haven't figured out how to use an SDHC card as swap because the computer won't agree to hibernate. Is there any way to e | 08:49 |
bagustrix | hello.. | 08:49 |
Yerushalmi | gah. | 08:49 |
CoNFuS3D | I am using 10.1 | 08:49 |
Yerushalmi | Is there any way to get the computer to hibernate to an SDHC card? Barring that, well, I've been having a serious number of corruption issues, so I want to know: is an SDHC card not stable/rewritable enough to serve as a hard drive, or is mine just old and if I buy a new one my computer should work fine with this configuration for an extended period of time? | 08:50 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: have you added your sdhc-device to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and rebuilt the intiramfs then? | 08:51 |
gaelfx | apologies | 08:51 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: The bug I get when trying to hibernate to SDHC isn't that I can't resume. It's that the computer does the full writing-to-hibernate, decides to shut down, but resumes immediately without even powering off. | 08:52 |
Prinler | Ok help me out here, i was told to close x for a driver update... ctrl alt f1... i get no prompt | 08:52 |
Prinler | now what | 08:52 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: in my experience, SD cards aren't that reliable if they are subjected to heavy read/write cycles | 08:52 |
Narly_Dude | Prinler: f2 f3 f4? | 08:53 |
wooter | Yerushalmi, set your swap partition to the card | 08:53 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: some helpfull messages in /var/log/pm-powersave.log? | 08:54 |
Prinler | it closed x but still no prompy | 08:54 |
Prinler | i see text and stuff | 08:54 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx: How heavy is heavy? After all, I basically just use this computer for word processing and internet. | 08:54 |
CoNFuS3D | on another note gaelfx, when I try to open the sound application, it says "waiting for sound system to respond" | 08:54 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: Sec, bringing up the pertinent log | 08:54 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: check it for errors | 08:55 |
Narly_Dude | Prinler: And pressing enter doens't provide a prompt? (hidden maybe by output?) | 08:55 |
Secret128 | hello | 08:55 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: There aren't. | 08:55 |
Secret128 | everytime when dad trys to install ubuntu from windows he get primisson denied | 08:55 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: http://pastebin.com/8y4BLYSn | 08:55 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: can't check, i don't have www yet | 08:56 |
Prinler | enter did it lol | 08:56 |
Narly_Dude | Prinler: You're welcome ;-) | 08:56 |
Prinler | it says im still running x server tho | 08:56 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: well, if you're going to treat it like RAM, my inclination is to say that's too heavy | 08:56 |
iflema | Prinler: alt + F2 sudo service gdm stop when on the desktop | 08:56 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: there's a reason we aren't using SD card technology in place of RAM yet, not the least of which being the issue with heavy writing deteriorating the memory rather uickly | 08:57 |
iflema | Prinler: or in a terminal window | 08:57 |
Yerushalmi | llutz_: Ah. Well, it's an old log, but here's what it would do. It would hibernate to the card, everything would be marked "success", but it would go straight from "performing hibernate" to "awake" | 08:57 |
gaelfx | *quickly | 08:57 |
Prinler | ok | 08:57 |
Prinler | well im at a prompt lemme give a whirl | 08:57 |
iflema | Prinler: alt + F7 first | 08:58 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: you might try reinstalling alsa, or even installing alsa backports | 08:58 |
Prinler | i did it via ssh remotly | 08:58 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx: I wasn't using it as RAM. I had tried to use it as swap, but gave up and now am using my internal hard drive as swap and the SDHC card as my boot drive. Unless I'm misunderstanding you? | 08:58 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: I assume you installed Ubuntu BEFORE you installed this sound card, right? | 08:58 |
Prinler | killed my ssh :( | 08:58 |
Prinler | brb have to run into other room | 08:58 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: swap is basically virtual RAM | 08:58 |
Yerushalmi | Is it okay if I paste in here three lines from the log? | 08:58 |
gaelfx | !swap | 08:59 |
ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 08:59 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx: Then I won't use it as swap :) But what about as my hard drive, the way I'm doing now? | 08:59 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: probably best to pb | 08:59 |
Yerushalmi | pb? | 08:59 |
[thor] | Yerushalmi: pasting to ubuntu.pastebin.com is preferred. | 08:59 |
Yerushalmi | [thor]: Nod, I already did that, but llutz said s/he doesn't have www right now. | 08:59 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: I think that's actually a pretty common thing to do, so you should be safe on that front | 09:00 |
CoNFuS3D | yes | 09:00 |
CoNFuS3D | I only just bought this sound card | 09:00 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx: Hunh. here's a theorty. | 09:00 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: as for suspending, I'm really not well versed on that :S sorry! | 09:00 |
CoNFuS3D | today | 09:00 |
Yerushalmi | *theory | 09:00 |
Prinler | Ok, Alt - F7 took my terminal to a black screen with a blinking dot... | 09:00 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: then I would definitely try reinstalling alsa | 09:00 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: do you know how to do that? | 09:00 |
CoNFuS3D | ok, I will try that | 09:00 |
CoNFuS3D | I will google | 09:01 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx: Is it possible the reason my SDHC card got all corruptible is because I spent a million times failing to get my computer to hibernate to it? | 09:01 |
Prinler | iflema, am i waiting for something? | 09:01 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: it's definitely possible, but I'm not sure if there's any way you could possibly know if that's what did it | 09:01 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx: After all, each time I did so, it actually succeeded in doing the write - and in doing the read from hibernate - just without shutting off the computer in between. I spent two months doing that before I realized it was the writing to the card that did it. | 09:01 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: what class/size is it? | 09:02 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: sd-cards are not made for massive writing, they have a limited write-cycle-count | 09:02 |
iflema | Prinler: i seen no mention of ssh, alt + F7 would have returned the system to gui after you did a alt + F1 | 09:02 |
veleno | hello. i'd like to reinstall and reconfigure an old ubuntu system. i'm logged into it as root via ssh. how can I trigger the reconfiguraiton of *everything* ? | 09:02 |
CoNFuS3D | ok, so no, I don't know how to do that :P | 09:02 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: but that shouldn't be related to your hibernation issue | 09:03 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: shouldn't be too hard, open up synaptic and search for alsa | 09:03 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx: 16GB | 09:03 |
shafiqissani | veleno: sudo apt-get update -d ... i think this is what u want | 09:03 |
iflema | Prinler: and sudo service gdm stop is howto stop gnome | 09:03 |
Prinler | iflema, ok but i followed the service stop comment to... so it stopped gdm... and alt f7 only gave black screen... hit it again... back to prompt... now when i sudo sh nvidiaBLABH BLAH.run its working now | 09:03 |

CoNFuS3D | ok, so I have marked for reinstallation.... is that it? | 09:04 |
snowrichard | i'm taking a backup of my server with tar. I booted from an external 2TB drive, so all the files on the server will be closed.l | 09:04 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: your other option would be to search for 'alsa backports' and install that, but hopefully it isn't necessary | 09:05 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: click apply | 09:05 |
veleno | shafiqissani: not sure. i really want to restart from scratch (one of the reasons is that the current locale is set to french instead of US) | 09:05 |
snowrichard | the server drive is only 1TB so there should be plenty of space for the backup | 09:05 |
CoNFuS3D | and theoritically, it should now work? | 09:05 |
CoNFuS3D | coz it doesn't :( | 09:06 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx, llutz_: I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding here. I had originally intended to use my SDHC card as swap and my internal, 4GB hard drive as my main drive. After spending two months failing to get hibernate to work, during which I must have performed hibernate a thousand times, I said to heck with it and switched them around. I'm now using the SDHC card as my hard drive and my... | 09:06 |
Yerushalmi | ...internal drive as swap. But I've been having serious corruption issues on this computer, and I'm wondering if my hibernate experiments brought the read/write cycles of my SDHC card to their knees and caused my current problems. | 09:06 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: is there a built-in sound card on your motherboard? | 09:06 |
CoNFuS3D | yes | 09:06 |
iflema | Prinler: is it really necessary touse the latest driver, its best to use whats in the repo unless you have no other option. i mean dont just doit because its a newer version... | 09:07 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: hard to tell but it is possible | 09:07 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: question: do you really need swap? | 09:07 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx: Yes, hibernate is very important to me. | 09:07 |
[thor] | CoNFuS3D: does alsamixer list the drive in the list for Select Sound Card (F6) ? | 09:08 |
llutz_ | gaelfx: for hibernation you need a swap-partition (or to use tuxonice) | 09:08 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: I'm assuming your internal hard drive is an SSD, and those also have a limited life for writing, though it should be better than the SD card | 09:08 |
[thor] | s/drive/card | 09:08 |
Yerushalmi | My question therefore is this: Is my current configuration, in which I boot from and write to my SDHC card as my hard drive and my entire internal hard drive is used as swap, a stable one? If I buy a new SDHC card and continue using my computer in this fashion, will it work okay? Or will I just be wasting my money? | 09:08 |
CoNFuS3D | hmm, not sure, it was two listed.. so I think so | 09:08 |

ubottu | Senjai, please see my private message | 09:09 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: another thing you might check is to make sure that pulse is using the sound blaster as the output, you should select preferences when you click the speaker on the panel | 09:09 |
CoNFuS3D | I can't get to the sound menu, it keeps saying waiting for sound system to respond... | 09:09 |
CoNFuS3D | is that what you mean? | 09:09 |
Guest64516 | my x11vnc defaults to display :1, should be display :0, i cant think of anything i have changed except updates. I am on ubnutu 10.04. any ideas? | 09:09 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx: Well, nothing in the world *doesn't* have limited life for writing. What's the ideal thing to hibernate to? | 09:09 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: also, could you pastebin the output of 'aplay -l' ? | 09:09 |
CoNFuS3D | ok, here it is... | 09:10 |
CoNFuS3D | http://pastebin.com/DB7KH2q2 | 09:10 |
[thor] | CoNFuS3D: Should say ( for example ) Default, 0 HDA Intel, 1 Creative Labs X-fi | 09:10 |
gaelfx | Yerushalmi: well, I would say a spinning disk, but that's not really an option in your scenario soooo | 09:10 |
CoNFuS3D | oh, nope, it doesn't say that... it says... | 09:10 |
CoNFuS3D | ca106 | 09:10 |

CoNFuS3D | and default | 09:10 |
snowrichard | saa7134 sounds like a tv card | 09:11 |
CoNFuS3D | I have a tv tuner card installed... so that is probably why | 09:11 |
snowrichard | the ca106 is creative | 09:11 |
gaelfx | brb | 09:11 |
Yerushalmi | gaelfx: So is it worth buying a new SDHC card? Or should I instead buy a larger internal hard drive? | 09:11 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi:buy an internal hdd | 09:12 |
veleno | anyway to reinstall ubuntu from command-line ? | 09:12 |
llutz_ | Yerushalmi: but that wouldn't garantee a working hibernation. hibernation with linux is still a tricky thing :( | 09:12 |
[thor] | veleno: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 09:13 |
Zeu5 | thank u Senjai | 09:13 |
Zeu5 | for taking over 2 hours to help me with my issues. | 09:13 |

CoNFuS3D | Doesn't seem to be one... | 09:20 |
[thor] | Senjai: sudo nautilus? :D | 09:20 |
Senjai | [thor] she had to edit her grub settings, boot into single user mode, chown the folder from there, and reboot without nomodeset, just quiet and splash. Lol | 09:20 |
Senjai | [thor] and that was hard to explain to her lol | 09:20 |
CoNFuS3D | The only thing I have to access sound is the sound manager in system > prefs > sound.. but that doesn't work | 09:20 |
silverarrow | how slow is a net with ca 4 Mbits dowload speed? | 09:21 |
Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, try right clicking the volume control and then advanced options | 09:21 |
snowrichard | i was installing on an old gateway and the Nouveau didn't work on it either. I had to put in that nomodeset too | 09:21 |
CoNFuS3D | there is no volume control | 09:21 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: there's no volume control? maybe you need to add that to your panel then | 09:21 |
[thor] | CoNFuS3D: the "speaker icon" and "volume control" they are talking about is the same app as sys>pref>sound.. | 09:22 |
Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, do you have a volume control button on the keyboard? | 09:22 |
Jonii^ | For reasons I do not really understand, ubuntu installation program doesn't find my windows installation, and suggests I should wipe the entire disk to install ubuntu | 09:22 |
CoNFuS3D | I can't use the sound thing.. it just stalls | 09:22 |
CoNFuS3D | no | 09:22 |
Jonii^ | What do I do? | 09:22 |
Prinler | Hmmm found i needed a SPDIF wire connected from my video card to my motherboard... never had to do that before... good thing my wife didnt toss the box like she normally does! | 09:22 |

jacky | ln -i | 09:23 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: ok, try right-clicking the panel and add to panel... then add indicator applet | 09:23 |
Senjai | Jonii^ lol, moderate lengths | 09:23 |
Senjai | Jonii^, you just let it sit there, no? | 09:23 |
gaelfx | CoNFuS3D: if that doesn't get you a volume control, then there must be entirely something else wrong | 09:23 |
Nitrohax | Jonii^, ubuntu full install and then vbox for windows | 09:24 |
CoNFuS3D | nope, that just made another envelope appear | 09:24 |
[thor] | gaelfx: he has mentioned previously that attempting to open the sound control app hangs attempting to access the sound devices | 09:24 |
Jonii^ | Nitrohax, eh, so, what do I do when it suggests I should wipe the entire disk? | 09:24 |
Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, have you loaded the restricted-access package? | 09:25 |

ubottu | Package restricted-extras does not exist in maverick | 09:26 |
Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, I would do that then look for drivers, you might have one of those crazy cards, or mobo's that need a sounds driver for alsa to work | 09:26 |
CoNFuS3D | It used to work, with my onboard sound card, but it was very glitchy and all that, so I got this new card, and now I have no sound at all... | 09:26 |
alisalaah | is there a way to get the mac os x equivalent in Ubuntu of cmd+shift+3 or 4 ... and if anyone knows if there is a way to do better than that and do the same thing but instead of PNG file to desktop you could get back a Image URL to clipboard? | 09:26 |

CoNFuS3D | yes | 09:27 |

Jonii^ | If I don't, how I'm gonna play Half-Life 2? | 09:28 |
Nitrohax | Jonii^, then let it install a partition auto in the free space, not enitre disk. It will load in grub for OS boot choice | 09:28 |
alisalaah | but a hotkey that allows me to highlight a box on screen of what to screenshot | 09:28 |
Prinler | OMFG!!! 128GB!!!! Thumb Drives? #$%^$%^&# | 09:28 |
alisalaah | and if possible a hotkey to do the same but get back a url for the image | 09:29 |

=== sinisterstuf is now known as Guest56268 | ||

Jonii^ | Nope | 09:30 |
[thor] | alisalaah: check the Software Center for the package "shutter" | 09:30 |
alisalaah | [thor]: yes, but in the way mac os did it.. and is it possible to do it and get a url into clipboard? | 09:30 |
alisalaah | [thor]: thank you | 09:30 |
Nitrohax | Jonii^, when you put the disc in to install it it will ask you if you want to partition and then you would pick use free space and let it do it auto, NOT ENTIRE DISK!!! | 09:30 |
CoNFuS3D | Is it time to give up? | 09:30 |
Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, no | 09:30 |
Jonii^ | Because I want to make sure Windows survives this operation. I have 14,5 GB partition prepared for this installation, and all that | 09:31 |
wiot | 5 | 09:31 |
Nitrohax | Jonii^, are you just going to use ubuntu to see if you like it? | 09:31 |
Senjai | rww the merciful? | 09:31 |

Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, have you tried looking for drivers? | 09:32 |
CoNFuS3D | yes | 09:32 |
CoNFuS3D | everything I found either didn't work, or was too hard to do.... | 09:32 |
Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, display driver but no audio? | 09:32 |
rww | Senjai: freenode doesn't elect ircops ;P | 09:32 |
CoNFuS3D | i.e. me being a newb and all | 09:32 |
Jonii^ | Nitrohax, the installation doesn't seem to think that there is anything but free space on my disk. It had two devices(plus my USB hard drive, so three), neither had size or any other information about those | 09:33 |
CoNFuS3D | yes, display works fine | 09:33 |
CoNFuS3D | but no audio | 09:33 |
Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, just go thru it slowly. | 09:33 |
Nitrohax | Jonii^, have you thought about using the wubi version installation? | 09:33 |
ardchoille | Senjai: ban list has a limit on the number of entries, it's good to clear it out now and then | 09:33 |
Jonii^ | Nitrohax, I am most likely going to switch to ubuntu from Windows | 09:33 |
MintUser | hello | 09:33 |
Senjai | ardchoille, we really have that many misbehaviours? | 09:33 |
CoNFuS3D | Jonii^, I'm looking at doing the opposite soon :P | 09:33 |
Nitrohax | Jonii^, well before deletign everything try the WUBI install. | 09:33 |
ardchoille | Senjai: in a channel this popular and this big, yes | 09:34 |
Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, what kind of sound card do you have? | 09:34 |
gaelfx | Nitrohax: he's using X-Fi Extreme Audio card, it's supposed to be in ALSA | 09:34 |
Jonii^ | That's the point, I'm not gonna delete everything :/ | 09:34 |
CoNFuS3D | it's a soundblaster x-fi xtreme audio | 09:34 |
Nitrohax | hmmm... one sec | 09:34 |
gaelfx | for a coupla years now too | 09:34 |
Jonii^ | Now, I need to figure out how to deal with this installation program | 09:34 |
Nitrohax | Jonii^, the wubi doesn't delete or even change the format of anything. so your windows won't be touched. | 09:34 |
Jonii^ | And if either of those devices it found would be safe to install | 09:34 |
Jonii^ | What does WUBI do then? | 09:35 |
MintUser | If Linux Mint automatically picked up my wifi card, would Ubuntu? | 09:35 |
[thor] | Jonii^: WUBI is Windows UBuntu Installer | 09:35 |
[thor] | installs from within the windows environment. | 09:36 |
ardchoille | [thor]: sounds like a VM thing | 09:36 |
Jonii^ | Humm... I tried that once before, it didn't work, though since then, I've decrypted my hard drive | 09:36 |
[thor] | ardchoille: you can do that as well | 09:36 |
Nitrohax | Jonii^, it installs it like a program in windows undr add remove but still lets you boot into ubuntu on start up with out changing the format. might have some problems on the ubuntu side but very minimal | 09:37 |
gaelfx | MintUser: it ought to, but the best way to find out is live | 09:37 |
gaelfx | (as in LiveCD/LiveUSB | 09:37 |
gaelfx | ) | 09:37 |
Jonii^ | That doesn't sound too good | 09:38 |
Jonii^ | I'd rather just figure out that partition/installation program | 09:38 |
MintUser | gaelfx: lol oh yeah, i feel like noob now. | 09:38 |
Jonii^ | Like, it should be possible to just install Ubuntu to an empty space on my disk? | 09:38 |
ardchoille | Jonii^: if there's enough space for the system, it should yes | 09:39 |
[thor] | Jonii^: have you tried booting to the LiveCD ( try without installing ) and then using the graphical installation? | 09:39 |
Nitrohax | Jonii^, that's where i was going how much free space do you have? | 09:39 |
Jonii^ | 14,5 GB | 09:39 |
ardchoille | that's plenty | 09:39 |
Nitrohax | i would use the graphical. it's easier to under stand and it's the first option already selected | 09:39 |
ardchoille | I think 3GB is the requirement | 09:39 |
Jonii^ | Windows shows Disk 0 partitioned into 4 different... What's the English word for that? Like, drive or something? That invisible windows backup drive, C:, D:, and empty space | 09:40 |
ardchoille | partitions | 09:40 |
MintUser | lol | 09:41 |
histo | Jonii^: partitions | 09:41 |
Jonii^ | Well, that | 09:41 |
Nitrohax | ok c: is your windows, d: is your recovery and the rest can be sized in a linux partition with out over writing windows partitions | 09:41 |
histo | Jonii^: you could install it to the unpartioned empty space | 09:41 |
Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, you there? | 09:41 |
Jonii^ | histo, that's why there is empty space in the first place | 09:42 |
histo | Jonii^: or you can shrink the windows partition and give yourself more room to install ubuntu. | 09:42 |
histo | Jonii^: you can also install ubuntu inside of the windows drive. | 09:42 |
CoNFuS3D | yes | 09:42 |
Nitrohax | CoNFuS3D, i think i have a solution try here http://www.userdrivers.com/Sound-Card/Creative-Sound-Blaster-X-Fi-Series-Linux-32-bit-64-bit-Beta-Driver/ | 09:42 |
histo | !install | Jonii^ | 09:42 |
Jonii^ | But the installation program doesn't seem to detect there is any partitioning on the disk at all. It didn't detect any operating systems either | 09:42 |

kj6lxu | i just set up Dancer-IRCD (irc server) on 10.04 but it will NOT list the channals ??? | 10:03 |
snowrichard | gholtzcomix, do you have ftp or ssh servers on the home server? | 10:03 |

jayvan_ | has anybody enabled the log out sound in ubuntu lucid? | 10:04 |
gholtzcomix | I have vsftpd installed, which works fine from outside of the network. | 10:04 |
snowrichard | then you should be able to use an ftp client and the ip or the hostname as the server address | 10:04 |
gholtzcomix | snow, I've tried doing that, but it uploads very slowly to about 3%, then the connection times out. I can upload via FTP from work just fine, though... | 10:05 |
gholtzcomix | do you think there is a conflict because the server and source of the upload share the same router? | 10:05 |
snowrichard | the router should be able to handle that but i don't know. I get like 3Mb/s when I do it locally here | 10:06 |
gholtzcomix | Do you use the same process as when you are outside the network? | 10:07 |

Slartibart | Hi. Anyone knows how to restart /usr/sbin/nmbd ? Strange thing is that I can't find it in /etc/init.d, so I hope there's another way? | 10:13 |
silverarrow | do you know the common reason why a DVD film is not detected by Ubuntu or Totem player? | 10:13 |
llutz_ | Slartibart: service nmd restart | 10:13 |
frogzoo | what's the easiest way to turn a collection of mp3s into a dvd? | 10:13 |
llutz_ | Slartibart: sudo service nmb restart sry typo | 10:13 |
silverarrow | i have a newly installed Maveric, but have tried to add all the restricted stuff | 10:13 |
frogzoo | !dvd | 10:14 |
ubottu | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 10:14 |
llutz_ | Slartibart: look for upstart scripts in /etc/init if that won't work | 10:14 |
silverarrow | fogzoo, for read on compters only? | 10:14 |
iflema | Yerushalmi: yes, this message is from it.... | 10:14 |
histo | whitefire: okay when you get a terminal try the following | 10:14 |
frogzoo | silverarrow: for dvd players | 10:14 |
histo | whitefire: dpkg -l | grep nvidia that will show you what nvidia driver package you have installed | 10:14 |
histo | whitefire: should be soemthing like nvidia-glx-**** | 10:14 |
Yerushalmi | iflema: How big a drive? Ever had corruption or read/write problems? | 10:14 |
silverarrow | on thanks frogzoo, it looks like I have to take look at it again | 10:14 |
iflema | Yerushalmi: 8gig and no | 10:15 |
histo | whitefire: once you find that package type in sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-restofname | 10:15 |
histo | whitefire: then reboot | 10:15 |
silverarrow | is there any reason why I should be able to make Ubuntu do all the stuff Linuxmint does? | 10:15 |
silverarrow | not be able* | 10:15 |
Slartibart | llutz_: That was quick :), thanks. Seems service isn't installed though, debian-helper-scripts and sysvconfig are suggested packages, does it matter which one of them I install, regarding service? | 10:15 |
iflema | Yerushalmi: but this system doent do all that much its go no RAM... 128mb | 10:15 |
Camarata | restarted and all i get is command line | 10:16 |
sagaci | silverarrow, well wouldn't it just make sense to install mint rather than ubuntu | 10:16 |
silverarrow | iflema, have you tried flubuntu? | 10:16 |
Camarata | i didnt change anything was just getting slow wireless, after restart no way to get to Ubuntu desktop, pelase help | 10:16 |
llutz_ | Slartibart: sysvinit-utils | 10:16 |
llutz_ | Slartibart: what version are you using if "service" is not installed | 10:17 |
llutz_ | ? | 10:17 |
iflema | Yerushalmi: two thumbdrives actually... on for a swap as well and no to flubuntu | 10:17 |
* iflema googles | 10:17 | |
silverarrow | I'm thinking of getting one of those superflat Macs | 10:17 |
Jonii^ | Ok | 10:17 |
Jonii^ | So, my drive has a broken partition table | 10:17 |
Jonii^ | Thus, Ubuntu thinks it's entirely unallocated | 10:18 |
llutz_ | Slartibart: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart should do it on older versions (pre-upstart) | 10:18 |
Jonii^ | The cool thing is, Windows doesn't mind this at all | 10:18 |
iflema | silverarrow: no | 10:19 |
Jonii^ | It boots up just fine and finds all the files that it's supposed to, and disk partition tool in windows sees every partition there is | 10:19 |
whitefire | histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/569984/ | 10:19 |
Jonii^ | Now I need to figure out how to make this Windows interpretation of partition table canon | 10:19 |
Slartibart | llutz_: Yup, that last one did it. Thanks :). lsb_release -r says "Release: 8.04" | 10:19 |
llutz_ | Slartibart: ancient... | 10:19 |

Jonii^ | histo, my drive has a broken partition table, somehow | 10:23 |
whitefire | histo: it work | 10:23 |
Jonii^ | But, Windows finds every file and partition. It's just that Ubuntu does not | 10:23 |

AegisX | Hey guys; I'd like to set a static IP address for my wireless, and I'm new to both Ubuntu and networking. Can anyone guide me through it? | 10:24 |
histo | Jonii^: okay one sec. if not someone else can help you | 10:24 |
histo | whitefire: alright now what type of nvidia card do you have? you can find out by lspci | grep VGA | 10:25 |
iflema | silverarrow: lol... this thing has one damaged ram slot and maxs out at 128 per slot, or is it 256... anyway this is off topic =) | 10:25 |
Jonii^ | I'm not sure, I just read on a website that a partition table is invalid if it has more than one primary partitions, windows shows that both my C: and D: are primary partitions | 10:25 |
silverarrow | iflema, extra ram for laptops like that are often super cheap, if it takes PC100 Sodimm I have a 250MB memory you can have | 10:25 |
histo | Jonii^: you can have up to 4 primary partitions and thats the limit | 10:25 |
sacarlson | Jonii^: so what is seen with sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit ? | 10:25 |
Gnea | Jonii^: perhaps you interpretted that wrong | 10:25 |
Jonii^ | Err... | 10:25 |
Jonii^ | sacarlson, I forgot to do that. fdisk -l showed 5 partitions | 10:26 |
Gnea | Jonii^: you can have 4 primary partitions, or up to 3 primary parititions and as many logical parititions as you need | 10:26 |
whitefire | histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/569985/ I want to use NVIDIA card | 10:26 |

silverarrow | iflema, I see lol, but it can be fun making an extra workstation from these old things. As long as it boots up fine, the extra ram is used by the system even if it excees max RAM specs | 10:27 |

histo | Jonii^: can you install pastebinit to the box and then just sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 10:27 |

hemza | Gnea, what do you mean | 10:28 |
whitefire | histo: yes | 10:28 |
Jonii^ | I don't think I can install any programs, and if I don't, Ubuntu doesn't come with IRC client | 10:28 |
sacarlson | Jonii^: I don't even think you will need to use a livecd to mount it | 10:28 |
silverarrow | filema; GUI ? | 10:29 |
Jonii^ | sacarlson, so, what do I do now that I'm using Windows? | 10:29 |
silverarrow | iflema, never heard of your player | 10:29 |
AegisX | Anyone? Is there an easy way to set a static IP address for a wireless card? | 10:30 |
histo | whitefire: do you use it at all? | 10:30 |
sacarlson | Jonii^: just boot into your ubuntu, it does boot doen't it? | 10:30 |
silverarrow | iflema, what kind of laptop is it? | 10:30 |
histo | whitefire: also what type of machine is this? Is it custom built or does it have a make / model? | 10:30 |
Jonii^ | sacarlson, I don't have Ubuntu installed yet, because I don't want to lose my Windows | 10:30 |
Gnea | hemza: I mean exactly what I said. | 10:30 |
Jonii^ | So if I wanna use Ubuntu, gotta use live CD until I manage to fix my partition table | 10:30 |
sacarlson | Jonii^: then I don't understand the problem | 10:30 |
Gnea | hemza: really, the best way to keep locals out of your business is to use a firewall. iptables can solve that. | 10:31 |
sacarlson | Jonii^: you can mount it from a livecd also if that's what you want | 10:31 |
silverarrow | iflema, if you managed to install Ubuntu, then no need to look any futher | 10:31 |
Jonii^ | sacarlson, I need to fix the partition table so that I can install the Ubuntu to the empty space on my disk, without formatting the entire disk and thus wiping out my Windows | 10:31 |
Jonii^ | But, when I boot using live cd, I don't have IRC client available | 10:32 |
DJones | Jonii^: I thought the livecd had xchat installed as a default irc client | 10:32 |
Jonii^ | DJones, oh well, I'll go check | 10:32 |
sacarlson | Jonii^: that is not a problem from livecd you can modify and mount the partitons as needed | 10:32 |
sagaci | if it doesn't just sudo apt-get install xchat | 10:32 |
iflema | silverarrow: graphical user interface , THE player =) and you got it | 10:32 |
Jemt | XChat is not included by default | 10:32 |
Jonii^ | So, how do I fix the partition table? | 10:33 |
chalcedony | i created a user on the ubuntu forum and launchpad too, but how do i file my bug or create a post? | 10:33 |
histo | whitefire: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4954/how-to-get-nvidia-geforce-gt-210-drivers-working-on-lucid-lynx | 10:33 |
Jonii^ | I'll boot to Ubuntu, I'll use my netbook to get to irc | 10:33 |
Jonii^ | -> | 10:33 |
histo | whitefire: read all the way down on that page | 10:33 |
silverarrow | iflema, cool, I have to check it out | 10:33 |
hemza | Gnea, could you give me a link to learn more to define a surf or how to use iptable | 10:33 |
histo | Doesnt' ubuntu come with xchat what is jonii^ talking about? | 10:33 |
whitefire | histo: sorry, I don't understand. my computer is acer aspire 5745g and I think use NVIDIA better than Intel so I try to install driver | 10:34 |
Gnea | !iptables | hemza | 10:34 |
ubottu | hemza: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 10:34 |
sacarlson | Jonii^: there is nothing wrong with the partition table since you say windows see's it all so just resize a space if needed and delete a partition to allow the ubuntu to install | 10:34 |
chalcedony | histo, better to get the real xchat - #xchat than xchat gnome | 10:34 |
silverarrow | weirdly enough, I'm having more trouble with my main every day computer than the tiny old one | 10:34 |
histo | whitefire: The reason I was asking is because some computers have two cards that switches between the two. | 10:34 |
Gnea | hemza: basically, you'd want to deny any incoming connection except for higher port ranges so that web browsers and things like that will work | 10:34 |
histo | whitefire: what version of ubuntu do you have installed? | 10:35 |
whitefire | when I use win7 I can switch between 2 card by press 1 button in my computer | 10:36 |
whitefire | histo: 10.10 | 10:36 |
histo | whitefire: yeah | 10:36 |
histo | whitefire: that's the problem the graphics switching let me find directions | 10:36 |
MacGyver_ | For some reason, Gnome on 10.10 completely ignores the "separate layout for each window" option. | 10:38 |
hemza | Gnea, nice. I know how to deny any incoming connection but how to add exception | 10:38 |
whitefire | histo: with ubuntu, how I know I'm using Nvidia card or Intel card | 10:38 |
MacGyver_ | Known bug, or is it me? | 10:38 |
Jonii | http://pastebin.com/XPYvshFd | 10:38 |
histo | whitefire: there is a program to switch between them if you want. that | 10:38 |
histo | whitefire: one person I found says that you need to use the propriatary driver from nvidia.com for vga to work. | 10:39 |

MacGyver_ | Basically, when I switch the layout for one window, I do not want other windows to use that layout. But at the moment, this is what happens. Sometimes this is even the case even though the layout indicator states the correct layout is being used. | 10:43 |
=== satya_ is now known as satya | ||
MacGyver_ | So it appears that the indicator is "lying", and that the "separate layout for each window" option isn't working like it should. | 10:43 |
histo | Jonii: maybe some kind of screwed up recovery partition from the factory? | 10:44 |
Jonii | histo, nope, SDA1 is the recovery partition | 10:44 |

sacarlson | Jonii: I guess you can just delete partitions sda4, sda5, sda1. I'm not sure what sda1 may be and I'm not sure what effect it may have to delete it so maybe just keep that for now | 10:45 |
dean[w] | Fuchs, wmctrl? | 10:45 |

histo | Jonii: if you are sure that C and D are sda2 and sda3 and you don't need the data on sda5 then I would sudo cfdisk and remove sda4 and sda5 then proceed to install ubuntu to the freespace ont he drive. | 10:47 |
Jonii | histo, the size is a close match | 10:47 |
sacarlson | histo: Jonii: I concure | 10:47 |
Jonii | My C is about 250gb, and my D is about 350gb | 10:47 |
Jonii | And both empty space and that windows rescue section were around 14gb | 10:48 |
Jonii | Windows also listed these in this exact order, rescue section, C:, D:, and then empty space | 10:48 |
histo | Jonii: well then remove sda4 and sda5 and proceed with the ubuntu installation. IT will ask you to use the freespace on the drive. It will create another primary then extended for swap | 10:49 |
histo | Jonii: scratch that | 10:49 |
histo | Jonii: hopefully it will create exteneded or just one primary we'll seel | 10:49 |
histo | Jonii: cuz you're already using 3 primaries | 10:49 |
Jonii | so, I write sudo cfdisk? | 10:49 |
histo | Jonii: yea | 10:50 |
blag | whats the last ubuntu release that has python 2.4? | 10:50 |
Jonii | Fatal error, bad primary partition 3 | 10:50 |
Jonii | This seems bad | 10:50 |
snowrichard | Jonii sometimes fdisk will work when cfdisk doesn't | 10:51 |
Jonii | partition ends in the final partial cylinder | 10:51 |
histo | Jonii: the only think I see wrong is that 3 starts ont he same black that 2 ends on. | 10:51 |
histo | Jonii: yeah try using gparted | 10:51 |
Codesleuth | I found it by the way: /etc/apache2/conf.d/cacti.conf | 10:52 |
Jonii | gparted lists entire disk as unallocated | 10:52 |
whitefire | histo: I use system profile: http://pastebin.com/Pu53Pe5h that mean I'm using Intel or Nvidia card? | 10:52 |
snowrichard | Jonii try fdisk | 10:52 |
histo | whitefire: right now it's using the intel it looks like | 10:52 |
Jonii | snowrichard, err, so? | 10:53 |
Jonii | What do I do? | 10:53 |
Jonii | sudo fdisk? | 10:53 |
histo | whitefire: I would post a message on the forums. This new switching thing i'm not to familar with i'm sure someone else is | 10:53 |
tjc_ | hi all!i have a little problem!it appears a red triangle i n the right superior part of my screen saying that the update information is outdated!but my system is updated!any help? | 10:53 |
snowrichard | Jonii - sudo fdisk /dev/sda | 10:53 |
sacarlson | histo: Jonii: you have that same problem bettween sda3 and sda4 also, I'm not sure how this could have been working | 10:54 |
chalcedony | i'm trying to decide where to write/look/talk/complain about my problem? i have a new ubuntu 10.04. it won't attach the correct file when i want to attach files to mails, or uploads. it's inconsistent with files of all types. what kind of bug is it? where do i file a report? | 10:54 |
histo | sacarlson: isn't that not allowed starting and ending being on the same block | 10:54 |
silverarrow | totem player works, it seems I missed one lib package | 10:54 |
Jonii | My Windows worked just fine :o | 10:54 |
silverarrow | but it runs very jerky | 10:54 |
histo | sacarlson: well on extended they will be within | 10:54 |
silverarrow | jonii, mine don't | 10:55 |
silverarrow | I like windows | 10:55 |
histo | Jonii: partitionl 3 is definately a problem starting on a block that 2 ends on | 10:55 |
sacarlson | histo: I think you can make it happen but it will cause strange problems when you write to the same location it will modify the other partitions data | 10:55 |
chalcedony | histo, i tried, but what kind of bug is it and .. i don't see how to make the forum post or report? | 10:55 |
Jonii | 0x43a1 flag is invalid, this says | 10:55 |
histo | Jonii: and sda4 should not start on 75913 and sda5 starts outside of sda4 it's all messed up table | 10:55 |
sacarlson | histo: at this point it's only going to cause problems on his window side | 10:55 |
histo | chalcedony: what program are you having the problem in | 10:56 |
histo | sacarlson: pretty much | 10:56 |
histo | Jonii: alright if it was me. I'd backup my data in windows asap. Then fix the partition table | 10:56 |
chalcedony | histo, anything that i try to upload something to | 10:57 |
silverarrow | is totem a good player for Maverick or is Mplayer or VLC better/easier? | 10:57 |
Jonii | How do I fix partition table? | 10:57 |
Codesleuth | Where do I turn off the signature in Apache2? e.g. Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu) Server at x.x.x.x Port 80 | 10:57 |
histo | Jonii: so you understand sda3 should start at 32277 and sda4 should start at 75914. Then the extended sda5 should be wit5hin side of sda4 | 10:57 |
sacarlson | histo: jonii: there's no way to fix it without a total repartition but I think you could make a working ubuntu if you just delete sda4 and sda5 and fix that location | 10:57 |
histo | chalcedony: so A browser? | 10:57 |
silverarrow | Jonii, in Gparted? | 10:57 |
rww | Codesleuth: If /etc/apache2/conf.d/security exists, in there, under ServerSignature. | 10:58 |
histo | Jonii: I think testdisk can fix broken partition tables. I'd just be worried about data loss onthe windows side | 10:58 |
Jonii | sacarlson, how do I delete sda4 and sda5? | 10:58 |
histo | Jonii: especially your D drive | 10:58 |
chalcedony | histo, firefix, opera, dcc, yahoo mail, gmail... .txt .doc. . anything. | 10:58 |
sacarlson | Jonii: won't fdisk let you delete them? | 10:58 |
rww | Codesleuth: if not, add "ServerSignature Off" to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 10:58 |
Jonii | I don't know | 10:58 |
HA1DFO | Hi all. I'm trying to internationalize my drupal site, but the language selectin block seems a bit buggy for me. It displays languages, but the link points to the same location: my site URL without any /en, /hu, trailing language codes. What could be the problem? | 10:58 |
histo | chalcedony: so firefox and opera both have the same behavior that the attach the wrong file? | 10:59 |
chalcedony | histo, yes | 10:59 |
histo | chalcedony: i'm assuming they invoke nautilus when you go to attach a file but I could be wrong. | 10:59 |
Jonii | Oh well, I'll start backuping my D: :/ | 10:59 |
histo | Jonii: that's what I would do before proceeding | 10:59 |
chalcedony | histo, hmmmm its in the selection of it, i click on it and it attaches something different that i didn't click | 10:59 |
histo | Jonii: it's bad having partitions start and end on the same blocks. I'm sure testdisk will be able to fix it but i'd still back up | 11:00 |
Prinler | If i do a lspci i can see the nic card i just installed into my box. Dlink. When i look in the network config no devices found it says. | 11:00 |
Codesleuth | rww: thanks! it was in the security file, quick reload to rest... | 11:00 |
Codesleuth | rww: yep, that did the trick | 11:01 |
Codesleuth | thankyou! | 11:01 |
histo | chalcedony: yeah but what application is that? The one you are selected the file from. I'd run top and see what new pid pops up | 11:01 |
rww | Codesleuth: welcome :) | 11:01 |
chalcedony | histo hmmmm looking | 11:01 |
Codesleuth | seems to be way more confusing for people like me now everything in apache2 is split over all these different configs | 11:01 |
Codesleuth | just have to learn them I guess | 11:02 |
snowrichard | its taking hours to back up this server. I don't think i'll want to do this more than once a month lol | 11:02 |
histo | chalcedony: I'm in xfce but when I click on choose file in gmail it invokes thunar for the popup window. If you're running gnome i'm sure it's calling nautilus | 11:03 |
chalcedony | histo, kondemand/2 /1 /3 ? | 11:03 |
histo | chalcedony: you running kde? | 11:03 |
chalcedony | histo, i probably have some kde stuff - it's ubuntu 10.04 | 11:04 |
Yerushalmi | Has anybody here ever run their hard drive off an SD/SDHC card, and, if so, did it work out for you? | 11:04 |
histo | chalcedony: oh well if it's 10.04 and you are running gnome. Then it's calling nautilus. So I'd file a bug with nautilus | 11:04 |
chalcedony | histo, thank you :) | 11:04 |

L4nce0 | hey guys! so I'm having an issue with ubuntu. I'm running it as a VM, anyways, I did a hard turn off and now it wont connect to the network. networking is enabled.. the internet ( obviously) works. my settings for wired network ( which VB uses a virtual one) seems to have been erased. I just added it again, to no real avail. Ideas? | 11:06 |
L4nce0 | always happens during a big project right =) | 11:06 |
Prinler | why did you hard off it? | 11:07 |
L4nce0 | it was in hybernate and I needed to change a setting | 11:07 |
Prinler | well, now your impacience cost you alot didnt it. | 11:08 |
L4nce0 | yes yes lol | 11:08 |
rideh | whats the best way to see what happened to my server at 4 am? | 11:08 |
taran | when I run the command "hp-setp" it tries to connect to authorised HP server n than gives mesage "No netowrk connection". My proxy is correctly confiugured | 11:08 |
Prinler | wish i could help you, more then just some late night rude remarks :p | 11:09 |
L4nce0 | hey, I hang out in c++ ircs, I'm totally used to it =P | 11:09 |
Prinler | c++ lol so um 80's | 11:09 |
L4nce0 | that's also why I'll never be a linux guy. last update killed the touchpad and keyboard on my EEE. linux is like glass, just falls apart if you look at it wrong | 11:09 |
histo | L4nce0: how are you trying to configure the network? | 11:10 |
Prinler | yeah its kinda touchy | 11:10 |

syskk | how do I install a 32 bit libnotify on 64 bit ubuntu? | 11:15 |
histo | L4nce0: I'm not sure how vbox does all it's networking stuff on the host to the guest but i'm assuming that's where you problem is. Especially if the guest can't dhcp | 11:15 |
histo | L4nce0: #vbox maybe of help | 11:15 |
L4nce0 | good point.. I'll see if they know! thanks | 11:15 |
histo | L4nce0: ubt I would shutdown the guest and reboot the host and restart virtualbox etc... | 11:15 |
histo | L4nce0: if you were using a linux host then that's different. You can restart the kernel module for vbox without rebooting | 11:16 |
L4nce0 | I think I'll try just reinstalling vbox, the OS is a file on the desktop, so it should still work | 11:17 |
Yerushalmi | Has anybody here ever booted and run their hard drive off an SD/SDHC card, and, if so, did it work out for you? | 11:17 |
magnetron | !anyone | Yerushalmi | 11:18 |
ubottu | Yerushalmi: 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? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 11:18 |
sp4z | yerushalmi; i have. it was awesome | 11:18 |
L4nce0 | oh hey, while I'm here.. What's the best / easiest way to get a ubuntu distro with all the programmer tools already set up? ie, has gvim, eclipse, bluefish, all basic editors installed | 11:18 |
Pumpkin- | Yerushalmi: works fine, but I don't recommend using it "normally". You don't want to eat all your SD write cycles up by having swap on it for instance. | 11:19 |
Yerushalmi | magnetron: My next question (the real one) was already included in that line :P | 11:19 |
Yerushalmi | Pumpkin-: but if my swap is on my internal hard disk, having my main drive on the SD card shouldn't be a problem? | 11:20 |
magnetron | LA9KSA: make a list of the packages you need and install them with apt-get or so. you can use 'dpkg --get-selections' to construct such a list. | 11:20 |
L4nce0_ | sorry if you replied to me, network got reset with vbox install | 11:20 |
silverarrow | Ubuntu has really come a long since I used it a few years a go | 11:20 |
silverarrow | it shows online TV fine, managed by Totem I think | 11:21 |
Pumpkin- | Yerushalmi: should be fine + works for me. | 11:21 |

syskk | how do I install a 32 bit libnotify on 64 bit ubuntu? | 11:22 |
magnetron | LA9KSA: make a list of the packages you need and install them with apt-get or so. you can use 'dpkg --get-selections' to construct such a list. | 11:22 |
L4nce0__ | yay it works! the vbox application needed to be reinstalled.. | 11:23 |
Yerushalmi | Pumpkin-: I ask because I'm having major corruption issues, which I suspect is because I'm reaching the read-write cycle limit on the SDHC card, as you just mentioned. I had spent two months when I first got the computer trying (and failing) to teach Linux to use it as a swap file to which to hibernate, so I want to know if my corruption problems are because of that experiment or because of... | 11:23 |
=== L4nce0__ is now known as L4nce0 | ||
Yerushalmi | ...my new (current) configuration where my swap is on the internal drive. In other words, if I buy a new SDHC card and don't try the swap experiment anymore, is this likely to happen again? Or is mine just screwy because I killed itt? | 11:23 |
silverarrow | syskk, yes there are something that manages that, something like chrome | 11:23 |
silverarrow | how to make totem show DVDs flowing nicely? | 11:24 |
silverarrow | it is very jerky now | 11:24 |
silverarrow | any idea? | 11:24 |
syskk | silverarrow: what do you mean? | 11:26 |
greenm0nk | can the alternate iso be installed via a usb? (i see a lot of posts about it asking cdrom during install) | 11:26 |
silverarrow | when I stick a DVD film, into the DVD rom and play it in Maverick's default Movie player (totem) it plays very jerky | 11:26 |
silverarrow | syskk, I just read about that yesterday somewhere, | 11:27 |
silverarrow | this is too dopey for me, I need to get some fresh air | 11:28 |
indian_munnda | hi guys, i have a very general career query. Shall i ask it here???? | 11:28 |
silverarrow | yes? | 11:28 |
elderman | greenm0nk, looks like it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD | 11:28 |
indian_munnda | silverarrow: what should i choose in between Linux Admin or .NET Development? | 11:29 |
silverarrow | hard to advice really | 11:29 |
Pumpkin- | that is about as offtopic as it is going to get here. I also suspect in this channel you will get very biased answers :) | 11:29 |
indian_munnda | silverarrow: thats why i came here ,,,,really confused | 11:30 |
bazhang | !ot | indian_munnda | 11:30 |
ubottu | indian_munnda: #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! | 11:30 |
silverarrow | lol | 11:30 |
indian_munnda | bazhang: sory for that but i am really confuse can u suggest some channel for that | 11:30 |
silverarrow | hi bazhang, | 11:31 |
bazhang | indian_munnda, #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 11:31 |
greenm0nk | indian_munnda: i guess there's no such channel on FreenodeIRC for confused people :P | 11:31 |
indian_munnda | greenm0nk: lolzz | 11:31 |
silverarrow | bazhang, which DVD player runs more smoothly in Maverick? | 11:31 |
silverarrow | Totem is very jerky | 11:31 |
shrek | smplayer | 11:32 |
silverarrow | I am still impressed by the online TV streaming very nicely in totem | 11:32 |
bazhang | silverarrow, never had an issue, mplayer perhaps | 11:32 |
silverarrow | I see | 11:32 |
silverarrow | maybe there is some kind of tweake for totem | 11:33 |
elderman | greenm0nk, also if you try installing the alternate iso and it works, update the wiki to make it more obvious to people that it's possible. | 11:33 |
silverarrow | every thing is rather newly installed here, but I have most of the restricted packages I think | 11:33 |
silverarrow | are there extra driver packages particular for totem and hardware DVd/CD rom? | 11:34 |
silverarrow | I shall have to come back later, I am fed up with Maverick updates and package adding | 11:36 |
silverarrow | I like the Ubuntu manual | 11:36 |

Klaus_Dieter | I have a grml 32bit cdrom here and I would like to setup ubuntu server on a machine that is only able to boot from this grml cd. Is that feasible? I know I can install gentoo from it but I am currently lacking some knowledge about the ins and outs of ubuntu. specifically about the bootloader. which one does it use? | 11:50 |
Klaus_Dieter | gnubala: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 11:50 |
gnubala | klaus_Dieter: in that where is flops. i cant find it will you tell | 11:51 |
BajK | What is the cause for kdm and(!) kde not starting up properly if there is an invalid sdcard (i.e. an empty microsd to sd adapter, adapter plugged in without sd card plugged in) | 11:51 |
Klaus_Dieter | sorry its mips in there not flops, my bad | 11:52 |
BajK | I just store it plugged into the sd card reader, so I cannot lose it. But whenever it is plugged in without the microsd card (which is in my smartfone) neither kdm starts up automatically nor kde starts up | 11:52 |
Klaus_Dieter | gnubala: ^ | 11:53 |
gnubala | k_D no prob | 11:53 |
BajK | so startup takes a bit longer and then I'm just dropped to tty1 shell login with some kernel errors messages sr0 read error or something. | 11:53 |
gnubala | klaus_Dieter: any other idea? | 11:53 |
BajK | if I log in and to sudo kdm then x starts up but then kde just doesnt start up, it hangs at the first loader icon. as soon as Iplug out the adapter (and back in directly afterwards) it starts up just fine and works fine then | 11:53 |

sogeking99 | hey guys, i just uninstalled ubuntu and when i restarted it didn't boot into windows, instead i get this "error: unknown file system" grub rescue>" | 12:05 |
bazz | Gwar_Trolle: put it in a dropbox Public folder | 12:05 |
Prinler | still cant open the file | 12:05 |
Prinler | lol | 12:05 |
Fuchs | sogeking99: if you have no other operating system than windows, you might want to restore the windows boot loader | 12:05 |
sogeking99 | what can i do? so much important data too lose | 12:05 |
Fuchs | sogeking99: you can do so with an original windows cd and the recovery mode, but better ask in ##windows. | 12:05 |
Prinler | why cant it open it? | 12:06 |
g0bl1n | where can I copy some new font files to ? | 12:06 |
g0bl1n | to make them usable by gVim, etc ?= | 12:06 |
g0bl1n | I have them locally already | 12:06 |
sogeking99 | i dont have my original cd | 12:06 |
Fuchs | sogeking99: well, then you can use a ubuntu system to install grub, but grub will need a partition with some files on it | 12:06 |
Fuchs | sogeking99: do you have a linux system remaining, or only windows? | 12:07 |
=== Visual`_ is now known as Visual` | ||
Fuchs | sogeking99: of course you can as well boot any live system and backup your windows files. | 12:07 |
sogeking99 | i only have windows now | 12:07 |
g0bl1n | .font folder | 12:07 |
Fuchs | sogeking99: then you better ask in ##windows on how to do a fixmbr or similar, depending on the windows version in use. | 12:08 |
sogeking99 | ok thanks | 12:08 |
ManDay | Can I overwrite the medium from which currently run a live version? | 12:09 |
sogeking99 | can i open ubuntu from live cd and change default boot loader to windows one? | 12:09 |
ManDay | I'm suspicious because its mounted RO | 12:09 |
Fuchs | sogeking99: no | 12:10 |
Fuchs | sogeking99: you need a windows cd in order to put the windows bootloader in the master boot record | 12:10 |
silverarrow | hi again | 12:10 |
Fuchs | sogeking99: the two alternatives which can be done from an ubuntu CD are written above. 1) backup your files, reinstall 2) install grub, chainload to the windows loader | 12:10 |
Fuchs | sogeking99: but restoring the windows bootloader is definitely the recommended version if you only want to run windows. You can contact microsoft in order to get a CD if you have a valid key, but again, better ask in ##windows | 12:11 |
sogeking99 | how can i install grub? | 12:11 |
arand | ManDay: I don't think that would work, no, you can run the liveCD with TORAM=yes if you want to though. | 12:11 |

classical | hello ppl :)) I'm going to build dedicated backup server i have two Sata hdd there will be only backup nothing more so what Raid type is bes for me ? im planning to use raid 1 am is it good decision ? an what file system should i use for best performance ? there will be continuous file writing/copping process so im afraid of hight load/io | 13:16 |
popey | classical: i have exactly that setup, and use RAID 1 | 13:16 |
bribroder | raid 1 | 13:16 |
popey | classical: even though its only a backup server, I wouldn't want to lose my backups if a disk went phut | 13:17 |
zamba | Chousuke: but this is terrible | 13:17 |
zamba | popey: ok, i'll try | 13:17 |
classical | popey, bribroder what about a file system type ? | 13:17 |
Chousuke | zamba: if you have a high-latency link, it's going to be terrible whatever you do | 13:18 |
popey | classical: i use ext4 on mine | 13:18 |
researcher1 | is there anybody who has HP LKaser Jet 1020 printer right plug-in installed ? | 13:18 |
Chousuke | zamba: AFAIK the biggest problem with X isn't bandwidth, but the sheer number of roundtrips it requires | 13:18 |
Chousuke | zamba: compression isn't going to help much with that :/ | 13:18 |
zamba | Chousuke: got a better alternative? | 13:19 |
Chousuke | zamba: you might try using NX or something else more efficient than plain X forwarding. | 13:19 |
zamba | Chousuke: NX is b0rked in ubuntu lucid | 13:19 |
BuggyDE | classical: I think best file system would depend on what type and size of files you will backup onto it | 13:19 |
zamba | Chousuke: using neatx-server | 13:19 |
Chousuke | zamba: then you need to install a less borked version :) or try vnc. | 13:19 |
popey | vnc over compressed ssh isnt bad | 13:20 |
popey | not great | 13:20 |
classical | BuggyDE, hdd's will be 1tb in size | 13:20 |
popey | classical: same as mine :) | 13:20 |
popey | classical: i use LVM on top of RAID 1 | 13:20 |
BuggyDE | how about opennx | 13:20 |
classical | maybe xfs ? | 13:20 |
BuggyDE | worked last time i tried it | 13:20 |

classical | popey, what is the file system ? :) | 13:21 |
lillecarl | SSH TERM = WIN :) | 13:21 |
snowrichard | it could not mount root file system | 13:21 |
BuggyDE | i would use riserfs for files over 2gb in size and ext4 for anything less | 13:21 |
popey | classical: I use ext4 | 13:21 |
lillecarl | ext4 is still unstable | 13:22 |
lillecarl | ext3 (Y) | 13:22 |
jefelex | I still always use EXT3 | 13:22 |
BuggyDE | yeah i have had some issues with ext4 but nothing too serious | 13:22 |
nisstyre | jfs > * | 13:22 |
lillecarl | jefelex, thats good :) | 13:22 |
jefelex | never had a problem with EXT3, why bother with EXT4 - doesn't look like it has any advantages | 13:23 |
nisstyre | jefelex, it does have advantages but not for the home user | 13:24 |
rcmaehl | I haven't had any problems with ext4 | 13:24 |
sipior | this is not a filesystem advocacy channel, to my recollection. | 13:24 |

ConstantineXVI | is there by chance anything on ubuntu that can scan your music and spit out itunes's library.xml file? | 13:25 |
monkeyD | hey guys, I have a SIS 661 VGA device and I did the glxgears test and it workes, but my desktopeffects dont work, I mean I cant activate them, ubuntu looks for VGA driver but it doesnt activate the desktopeffects | 13:25 |
jefelex | I haven't seen one, but there probably is an Itunes adapter program somewhere | 13:25 |
soreau | monkeyD: You wont be able to run compiz on SiS. glxgears means absolutely nothing | 13:27 |
monkeyD | soreau: so there is no solution ? | 13:28 |
soreau | monkeyD: My advice would be to get a Radeon card | 13:28 |
Lint01 | soreau, it's funny as sis cards can run games like WoW | 13:28 |
soreau | Lint01: Does it support TFP? | 13:28 |
monkeyD | soreau: I dont have the mondey | 13:29 |
monkeyD | but what I want to know | 13:29 |
monkeyD | I heared that the linux kernel is so flexibel and so great | 13:29 |
soreau | monkeyD: Lint01: The driver must support GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap in order for compiz to work | 13:29 |
soreau | Check the output of glxinfo | 13:30 |
monkeyD | soreau: what sould I looking for in the glxinfo ? | 13:31 |
soreau | monkeyD: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap | 13:31 |
soreau | monkeyD: The linux kernel is flexible and great but it still cant make hardware perform miracles | 13:31 |
soreau | SiS cards are simply not compiz-capable. VIA is the very lowlyest card I know that can run compiz | 13:32 |
need | k | 13:34 |
monkeyD | soreau: I mean thats just simple openGL work that the card have to do, dont understand why it has such a lot of problems or why there is not a alternative effekt | 13:34 |
HHH | LOL | 13:35 |
soreau | monkeyD: As I said, the driver must provide GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for compiz to work | 13:35 |
HHH | There is an alternative also for this driver | 13:36 |
soreau | HHH: What driver? | 13:36 |
HHH | all | 13:36 |
thrope | i have a problem where my left alt key doesnt seem to work, but right alt works fine... I find the layout options a bit confusing - is there anything there that is likely to fix this | 13:37 |
thrope | xev seems to show Alt_L and Alt_R correctly so I'm not sure why it isnt working | 13:37 |
magnetron | thrope: which layout are you using | 13:37 |
monkeyD | even if there is an alternnative HHH | 13:37 |
HHH | this must be laptop ? | 13:37 |
monkeyD | will it work with compiz ? | 13:37 |
thrope | magnetron: United Kingdom | 13:37 |
thrope | i am connecting through NX actually as well - but I dont think thats the issue because xev shows Alt_L correctly | 13:38 |
soreau | thrope: Make sure to look at all the options http://www.zolved.com/synapse/view_content/28017/Fix_your_right_Alt_key_in_Ubuntu | 13:38 |
thrope | soreau: I saaw that and I've tried 3rd level on and off for both left and right alt | 13:39 |
soreau | thrope: You can also test if your wm has anything to do with it by trying a different one | 13:39 |
thrope | it doesnt seem to change the behaviour | 13:39 |
nightgoblin | thrope i have the opposite (using UK keyboard) R-ALT doesn't work, but L_ALT works fine - LOL | 13:39 |
thrope | mainly want to use it for switching tabs in terminal | 13:39 |
thrope | also no idea what '3rd lvel' is | 13:39 |
soreau | thrope: Make sure USA layout is selected or whatever for your board | 13:39 |
monkeyD | HHH: so what ?^^ | 13:39 |
magnetron | thrope: 3rd level is the level you access with the AltGr key | 13:40 |
magnetron | thrope: also, which UK keyboard layout are you using | 13:40 |
thrope | generic 105 key | 13:40 |
magnetron | thrope: that's the keyboard type | 13:40 |
histo | thrope: unless something else is bound to the left alt | 13:40 |
magnetron | thrope: which keymap are you using? | 13:40 |
histo | thrope: might be throwing a wrench in the works | 13:40 |
thrope | histo: any way to find out | 13:40 |
dhanesh | how can i check for bad sector in ubuntu | 13:41 |

thrope | magnetron: how do I find out? in keyboard prefs I have UNited Kingdom, generic 105 key (intl) pc | 13:41 |
Lint01 | thrope, third level is altgr | 13:41 |
soreau | thrope: Also, check this: gnome-keybinding-properties <-- not in gui menu IIRC | 13:41 |
xxx | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=842086 <- in 10.10 install, is bash_history broken? | 13:41 |
thrope | ok - but anyway what ever I do to third level settings doesnt seem to make any difference | 13:41 |
magnetron | thrope: what do you mean "intl" | 13:41 |
thrope | oh wait no its started working | 13:42 |
dhanesh | how can i check for bad sector in ubuntu? | 13:42 |
jrib | xxx: why do you ask? Why do you think it is broken? | 13:42 |
soreau | thrope: gnome-keyboard-properties should show you the layout while -keybindings- will show you what key is bound to what | 13:42 |
thrope | I switched third level to right win... didnt seem to change at first but now it is working | 13:42 |
xxx | jrib: what are you asking me that question? It is a simple question, if you are confused, let me know about which part | 13:42 |
thrope | oh no its stopped again | 13:42 |
magnetron | thrope: /wc | 13:43 |
sipior | xxx: mind your manners. the answer to your question is "no." does that satisfy you? | 13:43 |
jrib | xxx: I'm confused because you link to a forum post from 3 years ago, so I'm not sure what is not working for you. Can you say exactly what you are running/pressing, what you expected to happen, and what did happen? | 13:43 |
monkeyD | soreau: so there is not a lite version or lite settings for compiz ? | 13:43 |
xxx | sipior: so a default install should have session history saving working out of the box so to speak? | 13:44 |
sipior | xxx: try it and let us know. | 13:44 |
soreau | monkeyD: There is simple-ccsm for light settings but that will do nothing without compiz actually running. There is no light compiz | 13:44 |
xxx | jrib: ls ~/.bash_history , expect: the file, got: no file, push up, get history from last session, got: nothing from last session | 13:44 |

monkeyD | soreau: sounds physical not software based | 13:45 |
xxx | sipior: because you'd look very silly if you are | 13:45 |
soreau | monkeyD: Yes, the driver doesnt support TFP because the hardware cannot do it | 13:45 |
thrope | xxx: there is no problem with bash history on my 10.10 machines, both new install and upgrade | 13:45 |
sipior | xxx: i'm saying it's easy enough for you to check this for yourself, and have no great desire to waste my time so that you may spare yours. | 13:45 |
xxx | sipior: try it and let you know? no, I am asking if there is a known issue with bash_history, what is your problem exactly? | 13:45 |
xxx | sipior: what is your problem with the question I am asking? | 13:45 |
jrib | xxx: ok, let's ignore the forum post. How did you install ubuntu? What did you do since install? What packages did you install or remove since install? Create a fresh new user, does the issue persist? | 13:45 |
jrib | xxx: bash history should work by default. This is what sipior was telling you | 13:46 |
xxx | sipior: I am not wasting your time, in fact I most definitely want you to ignore everything I say from now on | 13:46 |
sipior | xxx: easily done. | 13:46 |
thrope | xxx: I would check permissions on your home dir | 13:46 |
xxx | jrib: there are no known issues, sipior: good, because it has been hard for you until now | 13:46 |
xxx | thanks thrope | 13:46 |
xxx | no idea how a clean install can end up with no bash_history... | 13:46 |
jrib | xxx: what do you mean by "there are no known issues? Are you replying to one of my questions? Which one? | 13:47 |
xxx | jrib: just a clean install, installed emacs and build one package, then closed window, opened another, and wanted to grab something from history | 13:47 |
monkeyD | soreau: I had xp before ubuntu and I had some desktop effects here with 3d effects like the desktop box and stuff like that, thats why its hard to belive that there is not another solution :( | 13:47 |
thrope | xxx: hae you tried set -o history | 13:47 |
thrope | maybe it is turnd off somewhere | 13:47 |
xxx | jrib: only the parts with jrib: in front are for you | 13:47 |
soreau | monkeyD: compiz does not run on windows. You must have a driver that supports TFP and obviously a card that can do it in the first place | 13:48 |
xxx | thrope: yeah, I will try that, the problem is - next time I fresh install, do some stuff, I don't want to find out when I want the history that it stopped working | 13:48 |
soreau | monkeyD: Whatever windows had was not compiz and it didnt require this opengl specification | 13:48 |
soreau | monkeyD: Well actually its a driver spec but anyway | 13:48 |

sipior | i'm going to miss him. | 13:51 |
jrib | ... | 13:51 |
soreau | monkeyD: That doesnt mean anything. Just because you have direct rendering doesnt mean the card can do TFP all of the sudden | 13:51 |

ubottu | sogeking99, please see my private message | 13:52 |
thrope | a difference between left and right in xev... right alt gives KerPress when I press and KeyRelease when I release (working correctly) | 13:52 |
thrope | left alt gives Press and Release immediately | 13:52 |
soreau | monkeyD: It is a special spec, written by davidr, the original compiz creator, with the help of some nvidia devs, specifically for compiz http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/texture_from_pixmap.txt | 13:52 |
thrope | so thats why its not working with chords | 13:53 |

monkeyD | soreau: do you know Xcompmgr ? | 13:53 |
soreau | monkeyD: no | 13:53 |

soreau | monkeyD: kde has kwin that can run their version of the cube using xrender or opengl but its no compiz | 14:08 |

ubottu | sogeking99: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 14:13 |
andai | how do i migrate to 32bit ubuntu | 14:13 |
Jameees | soreau: no, no ip address | 14:13 |
andai | can i do it without reinstalling everything | 14:13 |
soreau | Jameees: If it doesnt have an ip address, you have to set one then point the route and set the default gateway and nameserver. What is the ip of the router you are connected to? | 14:14 |
dr_willis | andai, clarify what you have now.. | 14:14 |
jrib | stpnicks: isn't it possible to update your code to the later version as well? Don't you want to do that eventually anyway? (no idea what the specifics are about what you are doing) | 14:14 |
andai | dr_willis: Maverick x64 | 14:14 |
andai | dr_willis: minecraft not working, lol | 14:14 |
andai | want. | 14:15 |
Jameees | soreau: I don't have a router, I'm using the modem that the ISP gave me, when I installed ubuntu with wubi, or when i did fresh installation of windows I didn't have to enter any address or install anything it worked by 'default' | 14:15 |
soreau | Jameees: Well we need to know the internal ip of that modem | 14:15 |
Fuchs | 1) minecraft definitely works on x64 2) yes, you would need a complete reinstall | 14:15 |
a_ | elo | 14:15 |
GeekMan | i dont under stand what they mean in this . Edit /etc/init.d/ondemand and replace ondemand by userspace | 14:15 |
a_ | jest tam ktoś? | 14:15 |
a_ | ;> | 14:15 |
andai | Fuchs: Minecraft LOADS to 100% then i see black and hear nothing too | 14:15 |
stpnicks | jrib: the 1.2.* should work, looks like that's in Karmic and Lucid. Yup, do want to upgrade the frozen versions, but that's a later task. | 14:15 |
Jameees | soreau: why did the wubi installation detect it automatically ? | 14:15 |
Fuchs | andai: are you sure that the problem is the architecture, and do you have any messages on the console when you launch it? | 14:16 |
soreau | Jameees: It may have peeked at your windows config and used it | 14:16 |
avashi1 | please help.. I just installed cisco vpn client for linux but it does not show under Applications or Accessories.. where do I find it ? | 14:16 |
andai | Fuchs: Web client, free | 14:16 |
andai | Fuchs: no messages | 14:16 |
andai | no idea what's wrong | 14:16 |
Jameees | soreau: address of the modem is 192.168.100.1 | 14:16 |
soreau | Jameees: If you can just get the internal ip of the router I can tell you how to make it work | 14:16 |
Fuchs | andai: then I would test a live system first before switching architecture | 14:17 |
soreau | Jameees: This should get you going: sudo route del default && sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.101 && sudo route add route add default gw 192.168.100.1 | 14:17 |
soreau | Jameees: Also you need to put this in /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 192.168.100.1 | 14:17 |

Roasted | why is sandisk so fail with rhythmbox. I have about 1,000 songs on it. but rhythmbox is telling me I have.. uh... 6. SIX. | 14:21 |
BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 14:21 |
Jameees | soreau: ok, i'll reboot and try it, thanks | 14:22 |
a_ | ello | 14:22 |
soreau | Jameees: no | 14:22 |
soreau | Jameees: No need to reboot | 14:22 |
dr_willis | andai, You may want to be sure you are using the SUN java. not the icedtea java. | 14:22 |
Jameees | soreau: i do, i'm on windows at the moment | 14:22 |
soreau | Jameees: Unless you arent running ubuntu currently :) | 14:22 |
Jameees | on the same box | 14:22 |
dr_willis | andai, other thenn that.. no idea. I dont play the game. | 14:22 |
dr_willis | bbl. | 14:22 |
soreau | (carry on) | 14:22 |

andai | im switching to sun | 14:22 |
fabio333 | best driver for the sis 740? | 14:23 |
fjorgynn | Hi | 14:26 |
Roasted | why does rhythmbox suck with sandisk | 14:26 |
fabio333 | sandisk suck maybe | 14:26 |
GeekMan | can some one help me with this cpu scaling section found here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCKnownIssues | 14:27 |
fabio333 | is it mtp device? | 14:27 |
Roasted | No. It's MCP, because Ubuntu won't mount it if its in MTP mode. | 14:27 |
Roasted | Or autodetect for that matter. | 14:27 |
alienkid10 | I was directed to uninstall Network Manager while troubleshooting network issues how do I get it back now? I reinstalled it but it's icon doesn't appear | 14:28 |
Roasted | alienkid10, is it as part of startup programs? | 14:28 |
karlo94 | which antivirus for linux do you people recommend ? (I know I do not need it for linux but I wanna scan my usb and else..) | 14:28 |
sachael | is there a grub option to disable the ubuntu splash at startup? It's not booting and I need to find out why. Possibly it's the nvidia driver I uninstalled, what's the package called? | 14:28 |
BluesKaj | GeekMan, a good app to ctrl cpu usage and settings , cpufrequtils | 14:28 |
alienkid10 | Roasted: don't think so how do I add it back in? | 14:28 |
Fuchs | alienkid10: look whether nm-applet is running, if it isn't: start it | 14:28 |
Fuchs | alienkid10: if that solves it: add it to your autostart | 14:28 |
GeekMan | have you tried adding the netwrk manger indicator back on your task bar | 14:28 |
Roasted | alienkid10, check out system - preferences - startup applications, see if netowrk manager is listed there and checked | 14:29 |
Jameees | soreau: when I enter your command it asys SYOCALRT: No such process | 14:29 |
Jameees | or something like that | 14:29 |
alienkid10 | Roasted: it's listed so i just run nm-applet in alt-f2 and it should come back? | 14:29 |
Roasted | alienkid10, are you asking or telling? | 14:29 |
Jameees | also I'm unable to access the 192.168.100.1 page in ubuntu, but i can in windows | 14:29 |
soreau | Jameees: No problem. After you are done, you should be able to ping 192.168.100.1 and google.com | 14:29 |
alienkid10 | Roasted: asking | 14:30 |
GeekMan | idk if that works the known issues page says powernowd is the only thing they think works | 14:30 |
erUSUL | sachael: remove splash and quiet from kernel command line in the grub menu | 14:30 |
Jameees | soreau, I can't | 14:30 |
Roasted | alienkid10, I forget the exact entry to get it back - but give it a shot and see if it launches | 14:30 |
erUSUL | sachael: press e to edit in grub menu | 14:30 |
Jameees | I read something on the forums about disabling ipv6 or something | 14:30 |
alienkid10 | nm-applet is now running but no icon | 14:30 |
GeekMan | but it tells me if i want it to be permenant to follow their instruction but i dont understand what they mean when they say . Edit /etc/init.d/ondemand and replace ondemand by userspace | 14:31 |
Fuchs | alienkid10: maybe the systray is missing from your panel, try to re-add it | 14:31 |
IdleOne | alienkid10: right click on the panel and add Indicator Applet, that should put it back on the panel. | 14:31 |
soreau | Jameees: This should get you going: sudo route del default && sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.101 && sudo route add route add default gw 192.168.100.1 && echo "nameserver 192.168.100.1" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf | 14:31 |
alienkid10 | IdleOne: indicator applet is there already Banshee's icon is sitting in it | 14:32 |
soreau | Jameees: If not, try using network manager with ip=192.168.100.101, mask=255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.100.1 | 14:32 |
printerwoes | hi, I have a lpd printer on a windows print server (comp-pr-1b) and am having great difficulty connecting to it. I can send jobs to it but they are not received, so when I log on to the printer (using my windows active directory credentials) no print jobs appear. any ideas? | 14:32 |
adds666 | Can anyone help with lack of sound issues? | 14:33 |
alienkid10 | I'll try relogging in. Then I've got another odd issue be back in a sec | 14:33 |
IdleOne | alienkid10: err NetworkManager Applet | 14:33 |
claint | hi, I have a quick question to anyone with 64-bit Ubuntu. A wiki page somewhere tells that 64-bit sun-java6-jre package does not provide /usr/bin/javaws. I am suspecting this to be false, as I have it in my 64-bit Debian. Can anyone check and confirm this so I can fix this suspectingly false information? | 14:34 |
soreau | printerwoes: Does lpinfo show anything useful? | 14:34 |
IdleOne | panel applets don't seem to have a naming scheme. least no easy way to know what includes what. | 14:35 |
GeekMan | nvm LMAO Its working | 14:35 |
gaire | !ciao | 14:35 |
GeekMan | >_< | 14:35 |
gaire | \list | 14:35 |
BluesKaj | GeekMan, sudo /usr/bin/cpufreq-set -g ondemand or performance , either one but not both | 14:36 |
GeekMan | thanks | 14:36 |
printerwoes | soreu lpinfo shows nothing | 14:36 |
GeekMan | what does on demand mean like auto scaling | 14:37 |
KREDO | !wine | 14:37 |
ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 14:37 |
soreau | printerwoes: How does the printer connect to the machine? | 14:37 |
printerwoes | soreu via the network | 14:37 |
GeekMan | is wine (windows is not emulator) lol | 14:37 |
soreau | printerwoes: Can you see it in the cups config browser page? | 14:37 |
BluesKaj | !who | GeekMan | 14:37 |
ubottu | GeekMan: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 14:37 |
printerwoes | soreu what is that? | 14:37 |
GeekMan | blueskaj ok | 14:38 |
soreau | printerwoes: Oh well maybe you just need to address the ip of the printer | 14:38 |
GeekMan | blueskaj: what does ondemand do | 14:39 |
BluesKaj | GeekMan, ondemand is exactly as it says , when the cpu requires a faster speed to handle the load it ramps up it's performance to fit the need | 14:39 |
Camarata | I rebooted Ubuntu and it just boots to command line.. no GUI.. help? | 14:39 |
printerwoes | soreau, 1 sec, i am looking in the browser page | 14:39 |
GeekMan | k | 14:39 |
alienkid10 | nope still not there | 14:39 |
GeekMan | blueskaj thanks | 14:39 |
adds666 | Where is the best place to ask about some issues I have with my sound? | 14:39 |
printerwoes | soreau, the printer itself has no IP, I am connecting to the pcounter queue on the print server, which the printer I log in to pulls the data from | 14:39 |
alienkid10 | nm-applet it running though | 14:40 |
printerwoes | soreau, the way they work is that doc is sent to the pcounter queue, and then whichever printer you log in to pulls it from there | 14:40 |
AbhijiT | adds666, now ask here it not solved then ask on ubuntuforums.org and askubuntu.com | 14:40 |
BluesKaj | GeekMan, if you have dual core cpu or more then ondemand is ideal , you'll never notice the difference between on demand and performance | 14:40 |
soreau | printerwoes: Well I hope you figure it out because that is really beyond my area of expertise | 14:40 |
alienkid10 | BluesKaj: remember my network problems? I fixed them with a simple power off unplug then wait 30 seconds replug and boot back up. Now I'm trying to get Network Manager's icon to come back | 14:41 |
printerwoes | soreau, mine too lol! | 14:41 |
g_0_0 | alienkid10, have you tried resetting your panel? | 14:41 |
GeekMan | blueskaj : what about ppc | 14:41 |
GeekMan | blueskaj : g4 | 14:41 |
g_0_0 | !resetpanels | alienkid10 | 14:41 |
ubottu | alienkid10: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 14:41 |
dr_willis | GeekMan, last i tried PPC linux.. it was rather lacking compared to the others. | 14:42 |

Osmodivs | My system is so messed up that im am gonna do a fresh install of 10.10, but I dont want to start all over again, In the past months I have downloaded tons of software and libs from Synaptic, Is there a way to keep all of this stuff and then install them in the new fresh install? | 14:42 |
alienkid10 | g_0_0: have not | 14:42 |
GeekMan | i got it running really good on my ibook g4 10.04 LTS | 14:42 |
andai | dr_willis: Okay, minecraft server is down for me, but i'm trying it out on another 3D game that used to not-work and it does now! Except... no sound now. | 14:42 |
alienkid10 | g_0_0: would have thought relogging would have done it | 14:42 |
adds666 | My Toshiba Satellite P100-429 does not play sound. The only way I can get it to play sound is to change ACPI=off however this obviously disables the power management and many a time ive lost work because I havent noticed the power cable was unplugged. Any body have any ideas? | 14:42 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, you can 'clone' a list of whats installed.. and reswinstall it easially | 14:42 |
dr_willis | !clone | Osmodivs | 14:42 |
ubottu | Osmodivs: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 14:42 |

slipp3d | if i'm trying to use virt manager to create a Virtual machine why am i getting told that KVM is not available ... did i for get to install something? | 14:44 |
Fuchs | Leon: this is the english channel, for german you can use #ubuntu-de. Regarding your nick: probably because it is registered, protected and you did not register if it is yours. | 14:44 |
compdoc | slipp3d, how did you install it? | 14:45 |
Guest28089 | thank you i tried speaking german :P | 14:45 |
g_0_0 | alienkid10, try - sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome | 14:45 |
Osmodivs | dr_willis , I dont have another machine | 14:45 |
alienkid10 | g_0_0: already the newest version according to apt | 14:45 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, you generate a list of packages.. save it.. .. then use the list... | 14:45 |
g_0_0 | alienkid10, have you tried reinstalling it? | 14:46 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, or use it on other machines.. or whever you want. | 14:46 |
ph88_ | query if you can help me with a simple c++ question, thx | 14:46 |
Osmodivs | dr_willis, That's what I dont want to do, DOWNLOAD all of that stuff again... Some one suggested APTonCD | 14:46 |
alienkid10 | g_0_0: I just installed it 2 mins ago since I uninstalled it when working with BluesKaj. | 14:46 |
slipp3d | compdoc, i installed it via synaptic | 14:46 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, it wont work that way. | 14:46 |
andai | Okay, no, x64 sun java plugin, minecraft DOES load for half a second then goes white | 14:46 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, the stuff you installed was in the apt cache.. for some time.. but most likely is not all there now. | 14:47 |
Osmodivs | dr_willis, It wont? | 14:47 |
alienkid10 | g_0_0: will reinstall it though | 14:47 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, it will not 'remake' deb's from stuff you hae installed now ... it uses whats in the cache. | 14:47 |
compdoc | slipp3d, the service needs to be running - forget, but I think its libvirt | 14:47 |
Osmodivs | dr_willis, Oh no.... | 14:47 |
BluesKaj | alienkid10, I don't see the poiny of a nm id you're not using it | 14:47 |
BluesKaj | if | 14:47 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, the best solution is to redownload it using that clone list.. you can copy/restore your apt cache to save some downloads.. | 14:47 |
tdn | I experience extremely low I/O performance with 10.10 and LUKS even though I am on an SSD. What gives? I figure this is some kind of scheduling problem as it is not a problem for non encrypted partitions. | 14:48 |
Osmodivs | dr_willis, So I am gonna have to download all 100GB all over again!? | 14:48 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, I have to wonder WHAT all you installed that totaled 100gb.. | 14:48 |
compdoc | tdn, if you didnt create the partition correctly, you will kill performace, and kill the ssd | 14:48 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, i have fully loaded systems that are much smaller then that. | 14:48 |
alienkid10 | BluesKaj: I do use it from time to time since this install is on an external HDD and I sometime use it on laptops to connect to wireless. | 14:49 |
Camarata | When I boot up Ubuntu goes to a command line asking for my password, no GUI, how do I fix please? | 14:49 |
Osmodivs | dr_willis, Well, yeah, it's not that much, it 's my music and videos and other stuff | 14:49 |
alienkid10 | g_0_0: I reinstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome and it's asking to restart the system | 14:49 |
IdleOne | dr_willis: I install almost everything I see mentioned in this channel and I'm at ~7gb | 14:49 |
Osmodivs | dr_willis, But still, more than 1GB for download is too much | 14:49 |

dr_willis | Osmodivs, the 10.10.2 cd came out the other day. with most updates allready included. that can sacve some. | 14:50 |
=== xcv is now known as DaZ | ||
dr_willis | Osmodivs, do what you want.. check your cache. but stuff may no longer be in there. | 14:50 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, the 'best' solution for a small lan is to setup an apt-cache-ng server to cache packages for the whole lan. :) that saves lots of bandwitth | 14:51 |
Osmodivs | dr_willis, 10.10.2, eh? | 14:51 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, yep. I think i saw that anouncement.. it may been 10.04.2 - i just skimmed it.. | 14:51 |
natarajan | hai | 14:51 |
Osmodivs | dr_willis, Small LAN? like have another PC that serves as a CACHE storage? | 14:51 |
dr_willis | proberly was 10.04. | 14:52 |
dr_willis | Osmodivs, yes. | 14:52 |
natarajan | hai i the new user of ubuntu | 14:52 |
natarajan | I need help | 14:52 |
dr_willis | natarajan, and the actual problem is? | 14:52 |
Osmodivs | natarajan: Google it!!! hahaha.... I always wanted to say that | 14:52 |
natarajan | I'm having ubuntu & windows XP | 14:53 |
AbhijiT | !google | Osmodivs | 14:53 |
ubottu | Osmodivs: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 14:53 |
Osmodivs | natarajan, JK, go ahead, ask the experts | 14:53 |
tdn | compdoc, I guess it is created correctly. If not, there is a serious bug in the Ubuntu alternate installer -- I created the partition with the guided installer. | 14:53 |
dr_willis | natarajan, we can read full sentences. :) no need to break things down in to 5 word lines.. | 14:53 |
AbhijiT | natarajan, ask with all details in one sentence | 14:53 |
AbhijiT | or line | 14:53 |
natarajan | when my system has booting has many recovery files in ubuntu | 14:54 |
compdoc | tdn, gparted does it correctly now - what you do is leave 1 meg of free space before the partition. this causes the first partition to start at secotr 2048 | 14:54 |
compdoc | sector | 14:54 |
natarajan | how could i rectifive this | 14:54 |
dr_willis | natarajan, rephase the question.. on one line.. that made no sence how i read it... | 14:55 |
compdoc | its called alignment, and something you have to do with most hard drives these days | 14:55 |

ph88_ | [about C++] i want to "dynamicly" point to members of a struct, like this: struct.variable ... but it treat variable as the name of a member of the struct instead of a variable... how can i fix this ? | 14:56 |
dr_willis | natarajan, we have no way to take controll of your system.. and we cant see if it we were to reboot it remotely... | 14:57 |

klj613- | when i put my usb memory stick in, it automounts but I want to remount it with different permissions. I done this few days ago but now it wont work. When its unmounted i use "mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /media/usb" and it comes back as "no medium found on /dev/sdd" so i checked what the device was called when its mounted and its /dev/sdd1 so i tried that but it says "special device /dev/sdd1 does not exist" any help plz? | 15:01 |
sipior | ph88_: no worries | 15:01 |

Camarata | Ubuntu 10.10 new install :: I had a fresh install and did the security updates and all that, rebooted and it was working fine last night, then I turned the computer on today and it goes to command line asking for username/password, not the Ubuntu GUI. HOw can I resolve this please? | 15:03 |
dr_willis | klj613-, be sure you are using /dev/sdd1 and not /dev/sdd by mistake.. | 15:03 |
worS | test | 15:03 |
klj613- | dr_willis: i unmount it, try to manually mount it (/dev/sdd1) and it says "special device /dev/sdd1 does not exist" | 15:03 |
Norrlanning | Anyone knows how to successfully change the low-res bootsplash in Ubuntu 10.10? I think I have to edit the /lib/plymouth/ubuntu-text.so however that doesn't do it. I just edited it with ghex and tried it but I broke something by doing so. So now I'm back to scratch :-/ | 15:03 |
dr_willis | klj613-, if fdisk shows it.. but /dev/sdd1 does not exist.. somthing is really messed up. | 15:04 |
dr_willis | klj613-, perhaps unplug it.. plug it back in.. check dmesg output for any errors.. | 15:04 |
geeko | Nooby linux question, running command pand -c connect (laptops MAC address) I just get connection refused. I have already ran pand --listen --role NAT | 15:04 |

=== [271828183e-8] is now known as e000 | ||
klj613- | dr_willis: i used a command the other day to show all devices (even unmounted one) but i cant remember that command | 15:05 |
dr_willis | klj613-, You are unmounting it via the command line? or the gui. | 15:05 |
klj613- | dr_willis: gui | 15:05 |
g_0_0 | Norrlanning, go to system-> administration ->start up manager | 15:05 |
jotaSantana | hi ALL | 15:06 |
dr_willis | klj613-, theres menu items in the gui to 'unmount' or safely remove.. the safely remove - i think actually powers down the device 0- untill it gets reoved/reinsreted | 15:06 |
stevecam | this channel must have the most amount of people in it on this server | 15:07 |
dr_willis | klj613-, i think the 'ntfs-config' tool can set it to not automount i belive. | 15:07 |
klj613- | dr_willis: the way im unmounting at the moment is same as i did the other day when it actually worked. so i doubt its that. if so, which way should i unmount? | 15:07 |
dr_willis | klj613-, just unmount.. not safely remove. | 15:07 |
klj613- | dr_willis: is there a way to configure the automount for rw,umask=0 | 15:07 |
Norrlanning | g_0_0: Thanks, I will try that soon when I log out of fluxbox :) don't know how to find it otherwise .-D | 15:07 |
dr_willis | klj613-, you could use the umount command also.. | 15:08 |
dr_willis | klj613-, check the ntfs-config tool.. thats all i ever need to use. | 15:08 |
compdoc | stevecam, we should throw a party | 15:08 |
klj613- | dr_willis: ok thanks. | 15:08 |
bubble_ | can i switch to kde in ububtu ?? | 15:08 |
dr_willis | bubble_, install kubuntu-desktop package.. | 15:08 |
dr_willis | bubble_, you will then have both. | 15:08 |
stevecam | compdoc, depends, what is your idea of a party | 15:09 |
klj613- | dr_willis: the type is vfat. ntfs-config still configs vfat? | 15:09 |
dr_willis | yes... | 15:09 |

compdoc | stevecam, it would involve drugs and women | 15:09 |

dr_willis | if that tool works right.. its a little flakey sometimes. | 15:09 |
dr_willis | dermensch, thank you.. have a nice day.. | 15:09 |

bubble_ | dr_willis: inside ubuntu, i should install a kubuntu package ? | 15:10 |
goguda | dermensch: If it wasn't for linux, we wouldn't be where we are in technology these days. | 15:10 |

pinpin_ | there is no way | 15:11 |
Jef91 | My search function doesn't work in nautilus - it just shows nothing and doesn't search. Any ideas what is wrong? | 15:11 |
Fuchs | puck__: there is no admin password, at least there should be none. | 15:11 |
hrushi | dr_willis,how to check tht?? | 15:11 |
Camarata | dr_willis: if my computer boots to a command line asking to login instead of the normal login screen, how can i fix that. this is a new install that was working fine after one reboot (which was after the updates)... Ubuntu 10.10 | 15:11 |
dr_willis | its easy to reset a password if you use a live cd and chrootin, or edit the password files.. | 15:12 |
IdleOne | !password | puck__ | 15:12 |
ubottu | puck__: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 15:12 |
bubble_ | dr_willis: wait i'll check that :) | 15:12 |
Fuchs | puck__: you can boot in single user mode (hold shift while booting, choose recovery) and use the command passwd username to set a new one | 15:12 |
puck__ | Fuchs: I had installed two accounts one which is admin | 15:12 |
dr_willis | Camarata, and whats your video card? does 'startx' work? | 15:12 |
Fuchs | puck__: you can reset it with passwd. See also the links posted by the bot | 15:12 |
stevecam | there is an admin password, but it is random and the account is disabled | 15:12 |
andai | is 7.5 gb enough to do a new install | 15:12 |
Camarata | Asus UL50VT laptop with nVidia card.. it did apply a nVidia driver update! that is probably it | 15:12 |
dr_willis | Hmm.. theres no admin (root) password by default.. its just disabled.. | 15:12 |
Camarata | it popped up asking me to update for nvidia | 15:12 |
andai | is there anything lighter than Xubuntu that's officially supported | 15:13 |
Gwar_Trolle | lubuntu maybe? | 15:13 |

dr_willis | Camarata, learn to use a console based irc client. :) like weechat.. | 15:13 |
andai | dr_willis, IdleOne, would 64bit ubuntu use twice as much ram, in practice? is there really any reason to use it? | 15:13 |

g_0_0 | alienkid10, you are using gnome? | 15:46 |
dr_willis | klj613-, i do recall that APACHE had its own security settings.. one of which prevented it from following symlinks... | 15:46 |
dr_willis | klj613-, can a differnt user access it? | 15:46 |
alienkid10 | g_0_0: 99% sure I am! I install Ubuntu 10.10 off live CD and if it's not gnome it does a really good job of faking it | 15:47 |
alienkid10 | g_0_0: it's def gnome-panel | 15:47 |
pauru | ardchoille, this might work, but i want the epsxe not pcsx, well if i can't find out how to set it up maybe i will change my mind | 15:47 |
geeko | Ever sense I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10, I am unable to pair to a beagleboard. | 15:47 |
klj613- | dr_willis: apache2 works with symlinks. except from memory stick because automounts it set the permissions to ONLY 'me' (the user). and not the apache2 process, not any process. just me the user. and couple days ago i did remount it to umask=0 or umask=000 cant remember and it allowed apache2 to access the folder via a symlink inside /var/www | 15:47 |
dr_willis | klj613-, you could just make a fstab entry for the device.. that way it wont automount at all | 15:48 |
ardchoille | pauru: try epsxe without the gtk1.2 libs and see what happens | 15:48 |
dr_willis | klj613-, and set whatever options you want. | 15:48 |
klj613- | dr_willis: isn't fstab for 'static' media? not removable | 15:48 |
g_0_0 | alienkid10, :) and you have the notification area applet ? and you installed network-manager-gnome ? and rebooted? | 15:48 |
ardchoille | pauru: I know that gtk1.2 apps can run in gtk2.x | 15:48 |

alienkid10 | g_0_0: yes, yes twice, yes again | 15:49 |
dr_willis | klj613-, is it really going to matter? You can set mount entries based on label or uuid.. | 15:49 |
soreau | alienkid10: Try running both gnome-panel and nm-applet from a terminal and look for interesting messages | 15:49 |
alienkid10 | ok | 15:49 |

silverlightning | where is plymouth? | 16:12 |
caracuri | hi | 16:12 |
silverlightning | I shall have to look for it | 16:12 |
Norrlanning | silverlightning: huh? where plymouth is? do you mean the theme-files and so on? | 16:13 |
dr_willis | silverlightning, you can use the 'text' or just remove the 'quiet splash' option in the grub configs, to disable it. or edit the grub boot menu when you reboot. to disable it for a single boot instance | 16:13 |
caracuri | is there an easy way to switch Graphic Cards with a laptop with 2 GC Intel and Ati? | 16:13 |
llutz | bullgard: netstat -an to get ports listed | 16:13 |
dr_willis | caracuri, ive seen others ask how to switch video cards with those new laptops that have 2.. you m ay want to check the forums. ive never seen a quick answer in here. | 16:14 |

abstrakt | is there a way to force applications to launch on to and stay on a specific virtual desktop? | 16:15 |
alienkid10 | BluesKaj: still nothing! | 16:15 |
dr_willis | silverlightning, plymouth gives you that silly Ubuntu .... animation at boot time.. and it coers up the 'confuseing' messages you are wantinmg to see. | 16:15 |
abstrakt | like say I always want firefox on desktop 2 and I always want rhythmbox on desktop 3 | 16:15 |
IdleOne | noob: you are running 10.04? | 16:15 |
noob | IdleOne: yes | 16:15 |
dr_willis | abstrakt, compiz has settings to do that if you use the right plugins/ccsm settings | 16:15 |
caracuri | dr_willis, I know that is possible to do.. but i'am looking for a way to switch without recompile kernel | 16:16 |
IdleOne | noob: do " lsb_release -a " to make sure please | 16:16 |
dr_willis | caracuri, no idea. :) i dont have such a thing. perhaps it will be a standard feature in the next release. | 16:16 |
noob | IdleOne: Run thaat in the terminal? | 16:16 |
IdleOne | noob: yes | 16:16 |
alienkid10 | is there some other networking service that could be affecting this? | 16:17 |

I am trying to install ubuntu 10.10 32-bit latest version on a new pc with mobo: gigabyte ud3r and hard disk: western digital black sata3, but on gparted I cannot see my hard disk! On a couple of sites I see that there is some kind of problem with sata3 disks? Is that accurate? And what is the solution? Thanks in advance! | 16:17 |
dr_willis | BluesKaj, try making a new user se if it works for them. | 16:17 |
silverlightning | is it like an F-button to get to the Grub configurations? | 16:17 |
dr_willis | BluesKaj, or totally reset your gnome settings.. | 16:17 |
noob | IdleOne: Should i send u the output? | 16:17 |
IdleOne | noob: just confirm it is 10.04 | 16:18 |
dr_willis | silverlightning, i always set grub to NOT autohide (anothe rsilly default :) ) i think its shift, or space when you boot, if its hidden. | 16:18 |
noob | IdleOne: it is | 16:18 |
dr_willis | !grub2 | 16:18 |

noob | IdleOne: yes | 16:19 |
abstrakt | dr_willis, compiz | 16:19 |
abstrakt | dr_willis, and or if I can script compiz, e.g. so I can write my own launcher script to launch various programs and place them on various desktops | 16:20 |
abstrakt | that's fine too | 16:20 |
dr_willis | abstrakt, no idea. I dont use the feature. :) ive sene that q. asked befor in some forums/blog sites and in here. | 16:20 |
IdleOne | noob: ok in update manager, click on the settings button (bottom left) and make sure you have Normal Releases set in the updates tab | 16:20 |
noob | IdleOne: did you see the error msg? i sent the url of the pastebin | 16:20 |
dr_willis | abstrakt, there is some window settings plugin. I have used it to make the 'copy' dialogs always be 'always on top' thats about all i need. | 16:20 |
IdleOne | noob: I did but that would normally be an error you get when trying to update to alpha/dev release | 16:20 |

alienkid10 | BluesKaj: according to NM it's a RTL-8139 chip on the PCI card that for some reason after a bit of googling found many others wtih this issue and chip I found that all I needed to do was power off and unplug for 30 seconds-5mins. Sorry about no explain my setup that was because before when trying to get help for somethings then I just got yelled at basically for not doing things "the right way" by using an External HDD | 16:50 |
IdleOne | noob: I bet there is but I have never done it. | 16:50 |
Alexander | But. i'm not sure if I should give it a new port first. | 16:51 |
IdleOne | noob: I am not sure what the package name for unity is to remove it. but you can install Ubuntu using a USB | 16:51 |

Godslastering | Am i the only one that notices slow page loads (and i guess DNS resolving) in ubuntu 10.10? it happens in chrome and firefox, desktop and netbook edition, wired and wireless. it doesn't happen in windows. | 17:37 |
Senjai | Godslastering, have you tried it on multiple networks/ | 17:37 |
Odaym | not here, Godslastering | 17:37 |
sipior | bencc: try "sudo -u <username> ..." | 17:38 |
Odaym | blazingly fast | 17:38 |
Godslastering | Senjai: yes, it's ubuntu 10.10 that's causing the issue. windows works just fine, and on different networks i get the same situation (ubuntu slow, windows fast) | 17:38 |
Odaym | well, depends on how my connection is feeling though | 17:38 |
halabund | i tried to install ubuntu 10.04.1. Now the computer won't boot, it just says "grub: no such partition". Before I tried to install 10.10. It says "grub: out of disk". Apparently nothing that uses grub2 will work on my computer. (Older versions that used grub worked). What can I do? I got really tired trying to figure it out, and each try takes one reboot then one boot with the live CD, which is ~10-15 minutes in total. A comp | 17:39 |
Senjai | Godslastering, 10.10 does have some issues | 17:39 |
Chelsea | Hi all... ^-Z in Gvim doesnt' drop to shell in 10.10. Is that normal? | 17:39 |

bencc | sipior: not sure why | 17:39 |
Godslastering | Senjai: is there anything that you can recommend to fix it? | 17:39 |
Senjai | Godslastering, its usually with the connection, as in disconnecting and connecting, but not usually with speed on a stable connection | 17:39 |

Odaym | yes, THAT is true | 17:40 |
Godslastering | Senjai: no, with wired i still get the same issue. it's ubuntu10.10 itself. ( i didn't have the issue with previous version ) | 17:40 |
Odaym | been trying for a year to configure my D-Link; nothing | 17:40 |
Senjai | Godslastering, The ethernet and wireless card is usually the same on modern pc's | 17:40 |
Odaym | even with NDSWrapper | 17:40 |
Senjai | Godslastering, then it probably is 10.10 | 17:41 |

Godslastering | Senjai: and yes, it's 10.10 that's the issue i've assumed. so, any way to fix it? | 17:41 |
polinesian | sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ don't forget the ^ at the end | 17:41 |
halabund | i tried to install ubuntu 10.04.1. Now the computer won't boot, it just says "grub: no such partition". Before I tried to install 10.10. It says "grub: out of disk". Apparently nothing that uses grub2 will work on my computer. (Older versions that used grub worked). What can I do? I got really tired trying to figure it out, and each try takes one reboot then one boot with the live CD, which is ~10-15 minutes in total. A comp | 17:41 |
Senjai | Godslastering, I have not met with these issues, perhaps it's your router? | 17:41 |
bencc | sipior: is there a way to really run like a different user? | 17:41 |
Godslastering | Senjai: no, as i've said, windows works just fine, as iOS devices | 17:41 |
Senjai | Godslastering, there might be an error in your Ubuntu configuration, or you might have a firewall installed that might be filtering traffic inefficiently? | 17:42 |
Godslastering | Senjai: just a plain old default 10.10 install does the same thing (wired or wireless, doesn't matter. on diffrent networks, same issue) | 17:42 |
Senjai | Godslastering, there is little I can do, I'm just throwing hypotheses, this is a question best asked on the forums or looked at the 10.10 wifi troubleshooting page (it applies to ethernet too) | 17:43 |
sipior | bencc: you can open up a login shell as the other user with "sudo -i -u <username>", and then launch your script. | 17:43 |
Senjai | Godslastering, run ifconfig, tell me what you see. Paste it at pastebin.com | 17:43 |

switch10_ | I am trying to change the drive label of my phone, USB, FAT32. I am using mlabel like so: sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdc1 ::phone | 17:44 |
sipior | bencc: or just specify a login script in the initial line, i suppose. best to set important environmental variables explicitly anyway. | 17:44 |
sss | I just installed LAMP. html files works fine, but it doesn't process php files, it would just give the php file as is for download | 17:44 |
Senjai | Godslastering, run: ping google.com -c 5 | 17:45 |
Senjai | Godslastering, whats your average ms? | 17:45 |
switch10_ | i get no such file or directory cannot initialize '::' | 17:45 |
Senjai | Godslastering, note -c 5 is important, otherwise it pings forever | 17:45 |
Godslastering | Senjai: | 17:45 |
Godslastering | oops | 17:45 |
Godslastering | Senjai: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 58.055/74.141/100.775/15.086 ms | 17:45 |
llutz | switch10_: escape the : or use "::phone" | 17:45 |
bencc | sipior: thanks, I'll try both | 17:45 |
switch10_ | llutz: ahh thank you. | 17:46 |
Senjai | 74 is .. crappy, but not horrible | 17:46 |
Senjai | Godslastering, It shouldnt be unusable | 17:46 |
Godslastering | Senjai: ok, but when i open chrome for example, and if i go to, say, en.wikipedia.org, it takes about 10 seconds to load. windows takes nearly no time at all. | 17:46 |
Senjai | Godslastering, is your router IP address 192.168.1.1? | 17:46 |
Godslastering | Senjai: yes | 17:46 |
Senjai | Godslastering, ping your router, using -c 5 at the end, if its > than 2ms we have an issue :) | 17:47 |
sipior | Godslastering: try running "dig en.wikipedia.org" in a terminal, and look for the value "Query time". | 17:47 |
FrankBro | Can konversation join multiple server at once? | 17:47 |
Godslastering | Senjai: no response | 17:47 |
switch10_ | llutz: it cant find /dev/sdc1 for some reason. | 17:47 |
Godslastering | 299 msec query time for dig, sipior | 17:48 |
Senjai | Godslastering, your router isn't responding to pings? | 17:48 |
Godslastering | Senjai: no | 17:48 |
Senjai | Godslastering, OOPS, don't do that on ethernet, do it on the wifi connected one | 17:48 |
llutz | switch10_: sudo fdisk -l | 17:48 |
stan77 | hi all. i am running x11vnc on ubuntu 10.04. my understanding is that x11vnc should default to display :0 on port 5900. although i have no idea what changed cause it used to work, but now it opens display :1 on port 5901. i vnc to my router anf then that port forwards to 192.168.0.100, this machine. if i use 5901 it connects to a different machine on the network thats not even set up in port forwading. that machine is 192.168.0.101. i have been tr | 17:48 |
ohsix | derp | 17:48 |
pancakez | I'm trying to setup a samba share. I can create/delete files on it in nautilus. but terminal gives me "Permission denied" unless I do it as root. Anybody have any ideas? | 17:48 |
Senjai | stan77, I'm confuzzled lol | 17:49 |
stan77 | sorry, its confusing me too *eek* | 17:49 |
Godslastering | Senjai: from the wifi one, ping -c 5 192.168.2.1 is rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.696/2.186/3.338/0.669 ms | 17:49 |
matt____ | Godslastering: Senjai I wonder if it could have something to do with IPV6 vs IPV4? Because when I used to have Bellsouth DSL, on Windows page loads were instant, but when I was getting started with linux (almost dettered me away), Ubuntu 6.06 took nearly 10-20 seconds to load a page. It was because it was trying to use IPV6 but Bellsouth didn't understand, after Ubuntu timed out on IPV6 it went to IPV4 and worked ok. It did this for ev | 17:49 |
Senjai | pancakez, I dont know what samba is, but if it has to do with folder access, sounds like you need to chmod your folders | 17:49 |
halabund | hi. tried to install 10.04, dual boot with winxp. now computer won't boot, i get "grub: no such partition". what can I do? | 17:49 |
wonderwal- | ubuntu 10.0.4 lts, which kernel does it come with? | 17:49 |
Godslastering | matt____: that seems to be the exact issue | 17:49 |
Godslastering | matt____: windows is instantaneous, ubuntu10.10 is gaggishly slow | 17:50 |
Pici | !info linux lucid | wonderwal- | 17:50 |
ubottu | wonderwal-: linux (source: linux-meta): Generic complete Linux kernel.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.32.28.32 (lucid), package size 4 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all armel) | 17:50 |
silverarrow | I think my ubuntu is unstable | 17:50 |
Senjai | matt____, good point, Godslastering are you using IPV6? | 17:50 |
wonderwal- | Pici: upgrading to 2.6.35 possible? says it has 2.6.32 | 17:50 |
Godslastering | Senjai: not that i know of, but that sounds like what's happening. it may be doing that. is there a way to 'disable' ipv6 and try to see if speed increases? | 17:50 |
puck_ | Hello everyone have serious issues with a drink mini USB card on ubuntu 10.10, the connection keeps going on and off, its really annoying ... On top of it all, i cannot configure it as a 802.11 n, which is its model , thanks for the help | 17:50 |
warpi | hello! is it possible to disable the "user access management" of an shared disk. because, the access rights really gets messed up when different users creates files etc.... | 17:50 |
juk | Godslastering: maybe you have cached it on windows, who knows | 17:50 |
Pici | wonderwal-: It won't be supported, but you're free to try to find an alternate repo. | 17:50 |
puck_ | sorry d-link | 17:50 |
Senjai | juk, that definitely isnt the problem | 17:50 |

klj613- | Aikar: 'new project' in netbeans doesnt have category PHP. so i went to try aptana and only tutorials i find to install that is from the binary, and only release i can download is a zip with the file >.< any other suggestions? | 17:51 |
Godslastering | matt____: that lsmod | grep ipv6 claims to not return anything, so, i'd say it's not loaded? | 17:51 |
pancakez | Sanjai, samba is basically file sharing over different computers, I'm already the owner of the files, and have read/write rights, it works in nautlus, just not terminal. | 17:51 |
Aikar | klj613-: it does have PHP support, did you download the PHP edition or the Java Edition lol? | 17:52 |
Senjai | juk, No worries, I'm just saying a cache does not effect overall net connectivity | 17:52 |
Aikar | and klj613- you extract aptana then simply ./aptana (or make a shortcut to it on panel) | 17:52 |
matt____ | Godslastering: Senjai Well if it isn't loaded then I don't know...I'd still try adding blacklist ipv6 to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.local | 17:52 |
Senjai | Godslastering, follow the link matt____ sent | 17:52 |
klj613- | Aikar: i used terminal to install it. k | 17:52 |
Aikar | klj613-: theres diff editions of netbeans, ensure you got PHP | 17:52 |
Godslastering | Senjai, matt____ thanks, i disabled it, i'm going to restart and see if it helps | 17:52 |
Aikar | i dont know what apt-get will install for netbeans | 17:53 |
Senjai | Godslastering, let us know :) | 17:53 |
Aikar | klj613-: you also can install the PHP module from inside netbeans | 17:53 |
Odaym | that's true | 17:53 |
Aikar | just php edition wont have all the java crap | 17:53 |
ohsix | sipior: route, default -> gateway, it might not be your router still, but in most scenarios it is | 17:53 |
klj613- | ok. well nothing returned on google for that so guees i have to guees around the gui. thanks anyway | 17:53 |
sipior | ohsix: beg pardon? | 17:53 |
Senjai | matt____, the IPV6 theory sounds very plausable, my router at home doesn't support it, neither does my ISP | 17:53 |
Binary_Wolf | hi | 17:54 |
Aikar | klj613-: netbeans.org i think? download, extract, go to terminal and sudo ./netbeans and itll run the installer and install it | 17:54 |
sipior | ohsix: oh, you're referring to the other guy. yes, /sbin/route -n is the easiest method, in most cases. | 17:54 |

switch10_ | llutz: I have been unmounting it before I change the label | 17:56 |
ohsix | Godslastering: do you have dnsmasq installed? | 17:56 |
Senjai | Odaym, It should configure for you, though I reccomend installing the pieces seperately, I just don't trust combined packages like that for a webserver that could potentially allow someone access to your computer | 17:57 |
llutz | switch10_: that looks like a disk in superfloppy-format, using the raw-device without partitions | 17:57 |
Senjai | Odaym, installing Apache, then PHP, then MySQL, and finally wordpress isn't that hard | 17:57 |
Odaym | not a webserver though, Senjai, just want to open MySQL for my Database Systems course | 17:57 |

Senjai | Odaym, fare enough, type mysql in console | 17:58 |
Senjai | Odaym should work | 17:58 |
Odaym | hmm | 17:58 |
Senjai | Odaym, mysql -u root -p | 17:58 |
Odaym | it's a service? | 17:58 |
Senjai | make sure you know your root password | 17:58 |
Senjai | yes | 17:58 |
Odaym | oh :) | 17:58 |
wonderwal- | Pici: i read linux 2.6.35 is available for lucid though | 17:58 |
Odaym | thanks | 17:58 |
Senjai | the password you set for mysql that is, not your root root password | 17:58 |
juk | Odaym: why bother with password, use sqlite | 17:58 |
Pici | wonderwal-: If you're referring to the 'article' on ogmubuntu, its wrong. | 17:58 |
ohsix | sipior: ah i thought you had asked, didn't read it all | 17:58 |
Odaym | my root password? because here it says that the password for 'root' on MySQL is the same as my WordPress administrative password | 17:58 |
wonderwal- | Pici: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/kernel-2-6-35-officially-available-for-ubuntu-10-04.html | 17:58 |
Godslastering | ohsix: no, i don't. | 17:58 |
Odaym | i will try that | 17:58 |
Odaym | ok | 17:58 |
biswajit | hello any body can help me | 17:59 |
Klaus_Dieter | hello world | 17:59 |
Senjai | Odaym, then use that, sqlite, is a different form, but mysql is probably better for a course on the topic, it is the most widely used | 17:59 |
ohsix | Godslastering: can you post the output of ifconfig to a pastebin | 17:59 |
switch10_ | llutz: do you recommend I just reformat then? | 17:59 |
Klaus_Dieter | how do I set the language permanently in the text console? | 17:59 |
Odaym | "service mysql status" produces "mysql: service unrecognized", Senjai | 17:59 |
Senjai | Odaym, and it is most compatible with everything these days | 17:59 |
Godslastering | ohsix: http://pastebin.com/3rS6ysM3 | 17:59 |
Senjai | Odaym, apt-cache policy mysql | 17:59 |
Odaym | nope | 18:00 |
Pici | wonderwal-: Its still wrong. Perhaps you should take a look at some of the comments on that page. | 18:00 |
Odaym | nothing | 18:00 |
Odaym | guess it just placed that folder there | 18:00 |
Senjai | sorry | 18:00 |
Senjai | apt-cache search mysql-server-5.1 | 18:00 |
Senjai | err! | 18:00 |
Senjai | policy not search | 18:00 |
Odaym | yea that's there | 18:00 |
Senjai | it's installed? | 18:00 |
Odaym | yea, the one you mentioned along with mysql-cluster-server and mysql-server | 18:01 |
Senjai | Odaym, if its installed policy should say something like: | 18:01 |
Senjai | Installed: 5.1.49-1ubuntu8.1 | 18:01 |
Senjai | Candidate: 5.1.49-1ubuntu8.1 | 18:01 |
wonderwal- | Pici: thank you. do you know where i could get a 2.6.35 deb from then that will work with lucid? | 18:01 |
avis- | i need to start a sudo openvpn filename.opvn as a system service i had turned it into a init script and sudo update-rc.d after sudo chmod +x and it worked great till i got rid of network manager and swapped between eth0 and eth1 | 18:01 |
Odaym | it does when i say "apt-cache policy mysql-server-5.1" | 18:01 |
avis- | i got rid of network manager and swapped between eth0 and eth1 | 18:01 |
Odaym | but not when i say "apt-cache policy mysql" | 18:01 |
avis- | that would be in my interfaces file | 18:02 |
derf_ | i want to try out unity. i have 10.10 installed. which unity do i want? there is 2D 3D and netbook remix to get it. i don't get the difference. | 18:02 |
Godslastering | Senjai: matt____ it didn't seem to help any | 18:02 |
Odaym | so now i start it using "mysql-server-5.1 -u root -p"? | 18:02 |
avis- | i tried link aggregation and openvpn as a system init script, that failed, what would only work was eth1. | 18:02 |
Senjai | Odaym, install mysql-clien | 18:02 |
Senjai | Odaym, sudo apt-get install mysql-client-5.1 | 18:03 |
Odaym | but that one is there | 18:03 |
Senjai | and the mysql command doesn't work? | 18:03 |
enc | How can i tell what version of ubuntu is my server running on 32 or 64 bit? | 18:03 |
matt____ | Senjai: Godslastering Wel IPV6 is my best guess....as obviouisly the hardware works fine in Windows, either IPV6 or a driver issue, which for the most part I've always found the linux drivers for hardware better than windows | 18:03 |
enc | !version | 18:03 |
ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 18:03 |
Odaym | Senjai, it produces "ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)" | 18:03 |
ZykoticK9 | enc, uname -a | 18:03 |
derf_ | enc type uname -a into a terminal. | 18:03 |
Klaus_Dieter | enc: uname -a | 18:03 |
Senjai | matt____, Godslastering, I suggest a post on the forum. for experts to review | 18:03 |
Senjai | Odaym, then the server isn't running | 18:04 |
ohsix | Godslastering: does ping6 mango.itojun.org return unknown host | 18:04 |
Senjai | Odaym, one second | 18:04 |
Odaym | ok | 18:04 |
Godslastering | ohsix: connect: Network is unreachable | 18:04 |
enc | Klaus_Dieter, thank you | 18:04 |
Senjai | Odaym, try: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start | 18:04 |
ohsix | Godslastering: it probably has something to do with it; sec | 18:04 |
neil_________ | ; | 18:04 |
Odaym | sudo command not found | 18:05 |
Senjai | Godslastering, ohsix is god of help :P | 18:05 |
Odaym | and after i remove sudo it says no such file or directory | 18:05 |
Godslastering | Senjai: that's good :p | 18:05 |
Senjai | Odaym, how the hell is it installed then, you said you saw it in a folder | 18:05 |
avis- | when i boot i get some error about my kernel missing a modules "-dep" file thats despite me switching to a server kernel which i'm happy to have done | 18:05 |
Senjai | Odaym, navigate to the folder that the stack installed it to, and look for a mysql executable | 18:06 |
Senjai | Odaym, this is why I reccomend installing the pieces lol, because now, its configured just for one application, if you want to use it for anything else its not in the proper location, and other programs get screwed when you want mysql. (programs use SQL too not just web servers :P) | 18:06 |
Odaym | FLARN! | 18:07 |
Odaym | how to fix? | 18:07 |
Senjai | Odaym, try: locate mysql (though you may get a long list | 18:07 |
Odaym | yea | 18:07 |
Odaym | long list | 18:07 |
Senjai | Odaym, uninstall the whole package, and make sure everything is purged, and just install mysql | 18:07 |
Senjai | Odaym, try to find the executable | 18:07 |
ohsix | Godslastering: theres no simple way to disable ipv6 in chrome to check, but firefox has network.dns.disableIPv6, you can try it with it on and off and see if it goes away | 18:07 |
Godslastering | ohsix: i have that disabled and am still getting the issue | 18:08 |
Odaym | i grepped, and there are 3 files with "exec.sh" at the end of them | 18:08 |
JMOB0909873 | Hi, possibly silly question: how would one place a fresh install of ubuntu onto a separate partition from within ubuntu? Have some unpartitioned space, an .iso of 64-bit Maverick, and am currently running from a 32-bit wubi maverick). Can this be done w/o external media (I have no discs available to burn)? | 18:08 |
Senjai | Godslastering, you have it disabled in firefox? in about:config? | 18:08 |
Godslastering | Senjai: yes | 18:08 |
Odaym | in Software Center it says MySQL Client installed | 18:08 |
Senjai | Odaym, its not a shell script, its just named "mysql" no .sh no . anything | 18:08 |
avis- | JMOB0909873, i heard grub2 supported booting iso files | 18:09 |
Senjai | Odaym, for simplicity, I suggest removing everything, (the lamp/wordpress server you installed first, then make sure all of the mysql components are removed) | 18:09 |
ohsix | Godslastering: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 18:09 |
juk | avis-: link? | 18:09 |
Klaus_Dieter | well, I just installed natty but there is no package localeconf available - what can I do to set the keyboard layout on console? | 18:09 |
Senjai | Odaym, then use sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean to make sure its all tidy | 18:09 |
slashroot | Anyone know how to get sketchup working with wine? | 18:09 |
avis- | don't have one. read it on http://linuxhomepage.com its a very nice linux news portal | 18:09 |

Odaym | how do i uninstall, from the command line? | 18:10 |
juk | slashroot: /j #wine | 18:10 |
Macstheyjustsuck | Can someone give me the command in the terminal to install Java? | 18:10 |
Senjai | Odaym, apt-get purge (application) | 18:10 |
Senjai | Macstheyjustsuck, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 18:10 |
caio | klçççkll | 18:10 |
Macstheyjustsuck | All I can find are sudo aptitude install, but I can't type aptitude, I have to apt-get and then it says it's not there | 18:10 |
caio | jkhkgk | 18:10 |
caio | khgghkgh | 18:10 |
Macstheyjustsuck | Senjai: I love you. | 18:11 |
Odaym | ok it says purged.. | 18:11 |
Odaym | but all the files are still there | 18:11 |
Odaym | i use autoremove and autoclean? | 18:11 |
Senjai | Macstheyjustsuck, love you too :) its just the runtime though | 18:11 |
ohsix | Godslastering: if your router is sending RA's but doesn't have a route to ipv6 it should be fixed/disabled there if you can | 18:11 |
Senjai | Odaym, yes | 18:11 |
Macstheyjustsuck | Senjai: I got the JDK already | 18:11 |
Senjai | Odaym, did you remove that wordpress package thing? | 18:11 |
Jetpack | Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my desktop, in that any sudo command will just pause as soon as I enter it, and refuses to ever ask for my password, or ctrl+c cancel | 18:11 |
Godslastering | ohsix: i just looked through my router and didn't see anything related to ipv6 at all | 18:11 |
Odaym | yes that was the only thing i did with purge | 18:11 |
ohsix | Godslastering: for shame | 18:11 |
Odaym | tried to purge mysql after it, says not found | 18:12 |
Senjai | Odaym, great, do autoclean, and autoremove, then verify uninstall with apt-cache policy mysql-server-5.1 | 18:12 |
Odaym | Removing kernel?! | 18:12 |
Odaym | just kidding :) | 18:12 |
ohsix | Godslastering: RA's might not even be coming from your router; you can listen for them with tcpdump, it won't solve your problem but you might be able to fix the thing after you force it off in ubuntu | 18:12 |
Kaio | oi | 18:12 |
Odaym | ok | 18:12 |
Jetpack | recovery mode works fine | 18:13 |
Odaym | though files are still there | 18:13 |
Odaym | in their entirety | 18:13 |
Macstheyjustsuck | Ok, now another problem: My PSP used to show up when I plugged it into the computer, now it doesn't. I've confirmed that the USB ports are working and I've tried separate ones, now it just shows up in "Computer" but won't let me go into it and it's not on the Desktop like it was when it worked | 18:13 |
Hedgehog456 | Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu on my laptop, but the CD I made won't boot. | 18:13 |
Odaym | oh there's an uninstall executable in the files | 18:13 |
Kaio | como vai você | 18:13 |
Odaym | im doing it | 18:13 |
Senjai | Hedgehog456, set the boot order in your BIOS so CD boots before harddrive | 18:13 |
Hedgehog456 | I'm booting from the CD | 18:14 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: if you open the cd in windows, what files do you see? | 18:14 |
Senjai | Hedgehog456, and then? | 18:14 |
Hedgehog456 | Nothing | 18:14 |
Hedgehog456 | No files | 18:14 |
Kaio | kk | 18:14 |
Kaio | oi | 18:14 |
Godslastering | ohsix: i'm going to attempt a reboot and i'll tell you if it helps | 18:14 |
Odaym | ok, now it is clean | 18:14 |
Senjai | Hedgehog456, then it has nothing on it :P | 18:14 |
Jetpack | Also: chrome refuses to start up, and wicd (when I had it installed) was freezing. | 18:14 |
Odaym | now i do...sudo apt-get install mysql! | 18:14 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: you didn't read what I said. fail. | 18:14 |
JMOB0909873 | avis-, so does that mean I need to direct grub2 to the .iso file and restart? | 18:14 |
Kaio | oo9i | 18:14 |
Senjai | Odaym, okay install the following: mysql-server-5.1 mysql-client-5.1 mysqladmin | 18:14 |
Hedgehog456 | Well, my computer has always never shown the files on bootable live cds. but they worked. | 18:15 |
Senjai | Odaym, that should install everything else (because everything else is a dependancy) | 18:15 |
Hedgehog456 | It was the same with FreeBSD. | 18:15 |
Jetpack | Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my desktop, in that any sudo command will just pause as soon as I enter it, and refuses to ever ask for my password, or ctrl+c cancel | 18:15 |
Kaio | é verdade | 18:15 |
Kaio | eu não sei falar ingles | 18:15 |
Senjai | Odaym, install the server first | 18:15 |
Odaym | yep | 18:15 |
Senjai | Odaym, mysqladmin is optional, but it makes your life UBER easy. | 18:16 |
JMOB0909873 | avis: thanks. Does that mean I need to direct grub2 to the .iso and then restart? | 18:16 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: no, you ought to be able to open the disc and see files on the disk. Try it and see what happens, don't want to know what you've done in the past. | 18:16 |
Odaym | and what is phpmyadmin, Senjai? | 18:16 |
Senjai | Odaym, if it works correctly, during the mysql server install, you should be asked to set up a user account for your server | 18:16 |
Hedgehog456 | ok, i'll try on this pc | 18:16 |
=== alisalaah is now known as alisalaah- | ||
=== alisalaah- is now known as aliSalaah | ||
=== aliSalaah is now known as alisalaah | ||
Senjai | Odaym, it is a mysql administration tool that runs on a webserver that is php enabled, if you want you can run it on an apache server,\ | 18:17 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: you'll either see one file or a bunch of files and directories - need to know which it is that you see. 'nothing' won't cut it. | 18:17 |
Odaym | ok | 18:17 |
motaka2 | >When I get phpinf() , it tells me Configuration File (php.ini) Path is /usr/local/lib but when I ls- al /usr/local/lib , php.ini is not there , so from where I can Find my php.ini file ? | 18:17 |
=== Jef91|AFK is now known as Jef91 | ||
Gnea | motaka2: open a terminal and type: locate php.ini | 18:18 |
Hedgehog456 | when i looked at from my laptop, windows reported no files. | 18:18 |
Hedgehog456 | i burned the iso onto the cd. | 18:18 |
g_0_0 | Godslastering, is your problem a slow internet connection? | 18:18 |
cgkades | Odaym: find / -name php.ini | 18:18 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: well, then you didn't burn the iso correctly, because 'exploring' the disk ought to show files | 18:18 |
Godslastering | g_0_0: yes | 18:18 |
sss | I installed LAMP. Where is phpmyadmin? | 18:18 |
Odaym | not me who asked, cgkades | 18:18 |
Senjai | Odaym, mysqladmin should suffice, I dont have time to show you how to set up the apache server, mostly you just download apache2, instal the libmysql mod, install php, install the php mod. | 18:18 |
Hedgehog456 | my computer on this pc has crashed. | 18:18 |
Jetpack | Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my desktop, in that any sudo command in the terminal will just pause as soon as I enter it, and refuses to ever ask for my password, or ctrl+c cancel. | 18:19 |
Gnea | sss: install it separately | 18:19 |
Senjai | sss, default, localhost/phpmyadmin | 18:19 |
cgkades | motaka2: find / -name php.ini | 18:19 |
Odaym | thank you very much for this help Senjai, always been helpful | 18:19 |
ohsix | um | 18:19 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: all of a sudden? | 18:19 |
cgkades | Odaym: sorry, scrolled at just the right moment ;) | 18:19 |
Hedgehog456 | yes | 18:19 |
Senjai | Odaym, anytime, has it installed? | 18:19 |
Odaym | still working | 18:19 |
MichaelDeaton_ | Hello everyone. I wanted to know if anyone could possibly help me? | 18:19 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: did it blue screen? | 18:19 |
Hedgehog456 | no | 18:19 |
Senjai | !ask | MichaelDeaton_ | 18:19 |
ubottu | MichaelDeaton_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 18:19 |
Hedgehog456 | just not responding | 18:19 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: that's unfortunate. | 18:19 |
Senjai | Hedgehog456, can you elaborate? | 18:20 |
ohsix | dpkg -L php5 will show if it comes with it, i don't think it does | 18:20 |
Odaym | it's asking me for the account now, ok :) | 18:20 |
Senjai | Odaym, we're not done, after that install hte client and mysqladmin, Ill stick around to make sure its working for you | 18:20 |
g_0_0 | Godslastering, are you running torrent software, as you're upload was over 3GB for a download of 130MB | 18:20 |
rush_ | exit | 18:20 |
Hedgehog456 | My Ubuntu install CD won't boot, and when I put it in this PC, it crashes Window Explorer. | 18:20 |
bullgard | Why do hostid and gethostip print the current IP address in differnt format? | 18:20 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: then it's not an ubuntu livecd, it's something else. you'll need to generate a proper cd. | 18:21 |
Godslastering | g_0_0: i uploaded a few iso's over the network to another computer | 18:21 |
Senjai | Hedgehog456, did you order the CD? | 18:21 |
bullgard | s/differnt/different/ | 18:21 |
Senjai | Hedgehog456, or did you make it? | 18:21 |
Odaym | why do I keep seeing lubuntu everywhere... I'm not on Lubuntu | 18:21 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: or use a USB thumbdrive | 18:21 |
Godslastering | g_0_0: that's not external WAN data, it's just going over the lan | 18:21 |
Hedgehog456 | no, i got it and burned the ubuntu install iso | 18:21 |
JoshDreamland | I have a Sony VAIO. Can anyone help me get screen brightness controls working? | 18:21 |
g_0_0 | Godslastering, ah ok | 18:21 |
Senjai | Hedgehog456, Gnea, the USB way of installing is best, in my opinion | 18:21 |
Jetpack | Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my desktop, in that any sudo command in the terminal will just pause as soon as I enter it, and refuses to ever ask for my password, or ctrl+c cancel. | 18:21 |
MichaelDeaton_ | Intel Pocket PC Cam CS630 | 18:21 |
bullgard | !lubuntu | Odaym | 18:22 |
ubottu | Odaym: 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. | 18:22 |
Odaym | it says unable to locate "mysqladmin", Senjai | 18:22 |
Hedgehog456 | My only pen drive has my backup files on it. | 18:22 |
Gnea | Senjai: it can be problematic, but it might work | 18:22 |
Godslastering | matt____ Senjai and ohsix, it seems to have fixed it by doing the disable_ra thing in /etc/sysctl.conf | 18:22 |
JoshDreamland | Presently, the keyboard brightness fn keys don't respond, and the sliders in the Power Management dialog and screen brightness app don't work. | 18:22 |
Senjai | Odaym, okay have you installed the client though? | 18:22 |
ohsix | Godslastering: yay | 18:22 |
Hedgehog456 | But i'll try something else.. | 18:22 |
Odaym | when i tried, it says already exists as latest version | 18:22 |
ohsix | Godslastering: the red flag was the ipv6 address on the interface | 18:22 |
MichaelDeaton_ | How do I get my Intel Pocket PC Cam CS630 to work with Ubuntu 10.10 | 18:22 |
juk | ohsix: yes, php5 contains just /usr/share/doc/php5 | 18:22 |
MichaelDeaton_ | How do I get my Intel Pocket PC Cam CS630 to work with Ubuntu 10.10? | 18:22 |
Godslastering | ohsix: pesky little problem though, because i'm not sure where the issue is arising from. is my router actually creating the issue? | 18:23 |
erUSUL | !webcam | 18:23 |
Senjai | Okay Odaym, I think the default username for mssql is root, so type mysql -u root -p | 18:23 |
ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 18:23 |
ohsix | juk: it's probably in -common then, or something; but the path can be fine and the file empty or nonexistant | 18:23 |
Odaym | ok i'm at the prompt | 18:23 |
Odaym | but how do i get that usual interface of mysql? | 18:23 |
Senjai | Odaym, does it ask you for a password? | 18:23 |
Odaym | yep | 18:23 |
Senjai | Odaym, can you login? | 18:24 |
Odaym | im there i entered it | 18:24 |
Odaym | yea | 18:24 |
Odaym | but still at the shell | 18:24 |
Senjai | Odaym, great, babysteps | 18:24 |
ohsix | Godslastering: could be, like i said you can use tcpdump to listen for RA's and see where they're coming from, the problem is paying attention to them when theres no ipv6 route through the router advertising routes | 18:24 |
Senjai | Odaym: sudo apt-get install mysql-admin | 18:24 |
Senjai | Odaym, sorry I spelt it wrong | 18:24 |
Odaym | oh with a dash | 18:24 |
Odaym | ok | 18:24 |
ruan | how can i access hidden directories in /home with nautilus? eg. /home/.jd/downloads | 18:25 |
Hedgehog456 | Err... how do I create a USB pen drive with the ISO on? | 18:25 |
Senjai | Odaym, let me know when it is installed | 18:25 |

Hedgehog456 | oh no, my computer doesn't support flash drive booting... | 18:26 |
sss | Where do I find my username and password for phpmyadmin? | 18:26 |
MichaelDeaton_ | Well none of those links worked. | 18:26 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: well, if you can learn how to burn isos correctly, it actually can boot from usb. | 18:26 |
Senjai | Odaym, in terminal, (this will be under your Programming section in GUI) type mysql-admin & | 18:26 |

Senjai | Odaym, yes, doesnt really matter though | 18:27 |
Hedgehog456 | i'll check... i make it manually boot to cd anyway. | 18:27 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: http://www.plop.at/en/ploplinux.html | 18:27 |

Gnea | !backtrack | Implant | 18:28 |
ubottu | Implant: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

chikokishi | Im extremely confused. I reinstalled ubuntu attempting to fix my sound problem, and now my menus look different even though i used the same instal | 18:28 |
ActionParsnip | silverarrow: depends on situation | 18:28 |
Hedgehog456 | i think i know what may be wrong... | 18:28 |
sss | I have LAMP and now installed phpmyadmin, where do I find username and password for phpmyadmin? | 18:28 |
ruan | chikokishi: how are they different? | 18:28 |
Odaym | haha, yea this is complicated | 18:28 |
Senjai | Odaym, did it work? | 18:29 |
Odaym | ok, i will wait for the course to start | 18:29 |
Odaym | yea | 18:29 |
Odaym | thanks | 18:29 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: what method, exactly, did you use to burn the ubuntu iso originally to the cd? | 18:29 |
Senjai | Odaym, one more thing, and you'll love this more than that | 18:29 |
chikokishi | ruan, just small changes like instead of _ being miniminze i have a down arrow. | 18:29 |
silverarrow | I mean, Ubuntu is much more taxing on cpu and ram than eqivalent functions in windows XP, like media player, fire fox, online tv, word processor, update | 18:29 |
Hedgehog456 | Sonic RecordNow | 18:29 |
Senjai | Odaym, in console: mysql-query-browser | 18:29 |
Odaym | i can access it on Firefox through the loopback? | 18:29 |
alisalaah | how do i move the Wireless/Networking Icon left on my top panel? i moved things around but that one wont let me move it | 18:29 |
Gnea | silverarrow: hardly | 18:29 |
Senjai | Odaym, its better than phpmyadmin, and allows you to run queries, and see the results | 18:29 |
Odaym | aah! | 18:29 |
cgkades | Jetpack: have you run any updates or anything? | 18:29 |
Senjai | Odaym, ;) | 18:29 |
Odaym | i can test what they give in class, because i know they give queries and stuff | 18:30 |
Gnea | silverarrow: what data do you have to back that claim up? | 18:30 |
Senjai | Odaym, with syntax highlighting :) | 18:30 |
Jetpack | I have been, I don't remember if the problems corresponded with that, though. :S | 18:30 |
Odaym | very nice | 18:30 |
silverarrow | actionparsnip, perhaps they need to prune Ubuntu a bit | 18:30 |
Senjai | Odaym, if you want to install apache | 18:30 |
Odaym | thanks again :) | 18:30 |
ruan | silverarrow: lol, firefox boots in half a second for me on ubuntu, yet 5-8 on windows | 18:30 |
Hedgehog456 | are Direct Memory Access cd drives bad for booting? | 18:30 |
Garandir | Anyone knowledgable with compiling kernels and/or DSDT tables? | 18:30 |
Senjai | Odaym, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP DO NOT INSTALL LAMP, follow the guide EXACTLY from the apache section | 18:30 |
piyushmishra | has anyone ever seen the full movie of java-4 ever? | 18:30 |
Senjai | Odaym, like to the word :P | 18:31 |
chikokishi | ruan, also it didnt fix my sound. When i installed i have one loaded (ubuntu, and a recovery mode) and after i did the update i now have two loaders (two ubuntu and two recovery) Do you know why? | 18:31 |
Odaym | ok, that i can do | 18:31 |
cgkades | Jetpack: i've never incountered that... maybe a little google-fu? | 18:31 |
Odaym | i'll save it | 18:31 |
Gnea | silverarrow: no, people just need to buck up and be willing to learn something new instead of expecting the same thing | 18:31 |
ohsix | silverarrow: that doesn't match my experience on the same hardware, what would they prune? | 18:31 |
Hedgehog456 | are Direct Memory Access cd drives bad for booting | 18:31 |
Hedgehog456 | ? | 18:31 |
Jetpack | cgkades: I've been looking around, I haven't found anything useful so far. | 18:31 |

Gnea | Hedgehog456: sorry, saw your question, was doing something else. please don't do that again. not sure what you mean by DMA in that sense? | 18:32 |
silverarrow | yes, ubuntu boots fast, that is true | 18:32 |

Hedgehog456 | will a broken/clean DMA installation on a drive affect booting? because my dma is broken | 18:33 |
silverarrow | ActionParsnip, I'm using opera and firefox | 18:33 |
Jetpack | cgkades: even ctrl+\ won't stop the sudo command | 18:33 |
Gnea | silverarrow: opera and firefox are both known memory guzzlers. you should try google chrome before stating that the base OS is the problem. | 18:33 |
silverarrow | I don't know about the vide chip, I just read the CPU and RAM values | 18:33 |
ActionParsnip | Silverarrow:xpud boots faster but is more limited in functionality. Depends what you need the OS for | 18:33 |
ruan | ubuntu boots faster than XP for me | 18:34 |
silverarrow | and notice speed | 18:34 |
Hedgehog456 | if so, i'll remove the dma | 18:34 |
ruan | and it shuts down 5 times faster | 18:34 |
ruan | at least | 18:34 |
cgkades | Jetpack: can you background it even? ctr-z | 18:34 |
ohsix | firefox uses what it needs, as a proportion to the number of tabs it scales better as well | 18:34 |
Senjai | Ubuntu shutdown time for me is 5 seconds | 18:34 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: how is your DMA broken? | 18:34 |
silverarrow | Gnea, the same firefox and opera runs smoothly on the same computer in XP | 18:34 |

ActionParsnip | silverarrow: maybe ubuntu doesn't match your needs and you should try a different distro (make sure its not ubuntu based) | 18:38 |
Gnea | silverarrow: well perhaps you could open the system monitor or top and see what's really taking up the cpu/mem | 18:38 |

silverarrow | don't get me wrong, I like Ubuntu | 18:38 |
ohsix | ubunto does a lot of stuff slower than windows, but it does a lot of things i cross often much faster; so it's a tradeoff :[ | 18:38 |
cgkades | Jetpack: thats not good | 18:38 |
Senjai | Hey guys lets get on topic | 18:38 |
ruan | ohsix: what does ubuntu do slower? | 18:38 |
Senjai | !msg the bot | YouKay | 18:38 |
ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:38 |
Senjai | YouKay, see #emacs for lisp help | 18:38 |
ohsix | ruan: stuff | 18:38 |
sirninja | My laptop isn't suspending (but only sometimes) this is a new issue so I'm guessing something I installed is causing it, where can I find the log that would tell me what is preventing it from suspending? | 18:38 |
Hedgehog456 | Sonic Drive Leter Access | 18:38 |
bullgard | Why do hostid and gethostip print the current IP address in different format? | 18:38 |
ActionParsnip | silverarrow: did you tweak the about:config in Firefox? | 18:38 |
ohsix | ruan: the lack of literally the same program i use on windows usually counts as slow | 18:39 |
Gnea | silverarrow: the problem is that you expect it to run all smooth-like out of the box - the same is often expected from XP, that's what you've become conditioned to expecting - and you're just not 'getting it' - you need to unlearn what you have learned :) | 18:39 |
YouKay | Senjai: Ok, thanks. | 18:39 |
ruan | ohsix: which programs? | 18:39 |
llutz | bullgard: hostid != ip-address even if its calculated from it | 18:39 |
Gnea | Hedgehog456: well, that shouldn't matter, but if you can't read any files off of ANY disk then how can you possibly verify them? | 18:39 |
Hedgehog456 | i don't actually know | 18:39 |
ohsix | ruan: this rabbit hole doesn't go anywhere; suffice it to say they aren't exactly the same and running them is impractical; but there is coverage for apps that are there, it's just a little different | 18:39 |
llutz | s/from/based on/ | 18:40 |
praktikant | Hallo | 18:40 |
Hedgehog456 | it stopped working when AVG deleted the IRP hook | 18:40 |

ruan | sss: under System > preferences | 18:40 |
ohsix | sss: it doesn't stay disabled across reboots? | 18:40 |
sirninja | My laptop isn't suspending (but only sometimes) this is a new issue so I'm guessing something I installed is causing it, where can I find the log that would tell me what is preventing it from suspending? | 18:40 |
ohsix | sss: that's something that'd be desirable, you should file a bug about it as well | 18:41 |
Hedgehog456 | dammit, DLA is a rootkit | 18:41 |
Gnea | silverarrow: well, that's not very much, but if yo haven't updated your video driver, then running a bit sluggish is just normal behavior | 18:41 |
Hedgehog456 | no option to remove it | 18:41 |
sss | ohsix, ok | 18:41 |
ohsix | sirninja: do you have cgroup-bin installed? | 18:41 |
ActionParsnip | silverarrow: personally, I recommend installing LXDE and using that. It's decent and light so leaves more resources free for apps (and Firefox needs all the resources it can get) | 18:41 |
chasr | sirninja: look in th directory /var/log | 18:41 |
Gnea | ActionParsnip: that's why I recommend people use google chrome, as it doesn't suffer from the memory leak issues that bloatier browsers suffer from | 18:42 |
ruan | personally i prefer firefox | 18:42 |
juk | anyone going to recomment IE | 18:42 |
sirninja | ohsix: no I don't. I remember that causing me problems in the past though | 18:42 |
ruan | lol ie | 18:42 |
silverarrow | Gnea, I have only added the restriced extra packages recommended for the DVD,CD, java and flashplayer | 18:42 |
Gnea | silverarrow, ActionParsnip: it's really juat a matter of maximizing performance, sometimes it requires some tweaking here and there | 18:42 |
sirninja | chasr: do you know which log specifically might contain some useful info? | 18:42 |
Gnea | silverarrow: okay, do you know what video card you have? | 18:43 |
Jetpack | cgkades: could this problem be related to gnome-keyring-d? | 18:43 |
sirninja | ohsix: I was logged into a tty at the time, think that could be related? | 18:43 |

Bigbucks | Can someone help me with the issue of not being able to run commands under root without recieving an error? | 18:44 |
Gnea | silverarrow: okay, easy way to figure it out - open a terminal (either with ctrl-alt-t or applications->accessories->terminal) and type the following: lspci | grep VGA | 18:44 |

llutz | Bigbucks: secret error? | 18:44 |
middle | Can anyone help? | 18:44 |
ActionParsnip | Gnea: +1 for chrome. Its also the default in Lubuntu | 18:45 |
BluesKaj | Gnea, the only complaint I have about chrome is the menu fonts don't integrate with the desktop environment font settings ..it totally ignores them and uses it's own ...that's bothersome when viewed on large monitors. The website font settings within chromium are fine ,they're adjustable | 18:45 |
bullgard | llutz: Of course 'hostid != ip-address'. This is trivial because hostid is a command and no address in my question. But this does not anser my question. | 18:45 |
Senjai | middle! do not ask people to ssh into your box | 18:45 |
Senjai | middle, they can mess up your system | 18:45 |
bullgard | +w | 18:45 |
ohsix | sirninja: well it does cause suspend failures due to how it moves kernel threads around (cgroup-bin), being logged in on a terminal shouldn't matter | 18:46 |
llutz | bullgard: it does. what "hostid" gives you is a random number (mostly generated from ip-addresses/mac-addr). gethostip prints the IP of a given host. | 18:46 |
middle | Senjai: Oh, yeah like it isn't allready. I know the risks, i have nada to loose... And it is just annoying when people say that... | 18:46 |
Bigbucks | I am trying to run commands such as opening gedit or nautilus and I get this error..http://pastebin.com/Z3wVyw5m | 18:46 |
Senjai | middle I have to go to class but maybe ohsix can walk you through modifying your kernel line in grub with nomodeset, if that doesn't work try single user mode, otherwise make an ubuntu cd and chmod your home folder 777, an application may have chmodded your home directory | 18:46 |
silverarrow | Gnea, command not found? | 18:46 |
middle | Senjai: allready done that... | 18:46 |
cgkades | Jetpack: the logs are a good place for info. you may need to reinstall some packages | 18:46 |
Senjai | middle, single user mode? | 18:46 |
middle | Senjai: As in jsut logging in as root? | 18:47 |
Gnea | BluesKaj: that's adjustable, you can change the GTK theme | 18:47 |
ohsix | sirninja: theres a page on the ubuntu wiki about troubleshooting suspend, basically you can simulate it to see if any separate part of it fails to work; and if any of those lock it up or cause an oops it should be visible, if not you can use netconsole to send the messages during suspend to another computer, both are to narrow down where it happens | 18:47 |
Senjai | middle, no, as in single user mode | 18:47 |
Bigbucks | I am trying to run commands such as opening gedit or nautilus and I get this error..http://pastebin.com/Z3wVyw5m | 18:47 |
Gnea | silverarrow: make sure you type it correctly: lspci | grep VGA | 18:47 |
Gnea | silverarrow: that's the pipe character between the 'lspci' and 'grep' commands | 18:47 |
Senjai | middle, edit your linux line, delete quiet and splash (the defaults) and replace it with single | 18:47 |
Jetpack | cgkades: know of a way to (re)install packages without the use of sudo? :P I can get stuff to my desktop from an external hd | 18:47 |
Senjai | middle, in grub | 18:47 |
middle | I only have one user if that is what you mean =s Or do you mean liket they autlogin | 18:47 |
ohsix | Senjai: setting your home directory to 777 is bad, and some apps will refuse to work when you do, too | 18:47 |
janhouse | How come that after updating my ubuntu server crontab -e is now empty? | 18:48 |
middle | ahcool | 18:48 |
Senjai | ohsix, it is just to get to boot, then he can reset | 18:48 |

bubble_ | How can I enable effects in ubuntu in vmware ? | 18:48 |
Senjai | middle, odds are your computer isnt reading .ICEauthority | 18:48 |
cgkades | Jetpack: ummmmm... good point... cant you boot root from the cd? or something.. it's been a while | 18:48 |
ActionParsnip | silverarrow: in short, hardware manufacturers rarely support Linux due to money. If the support was equal there would be little issue. Blame you hardware manufacturers. Companies like kodak and logitech flat refuse Linux support of any kind | 18:48 |
sirninja | ohsix: In my pm-suspend.log file, the last line is showing: "Mon Feb 21 11:40:13 CST 2011: performing suspend". So does that mean that it might be a kernel issue or something? | 18:48 |
Gnea | silverarrow: oh... you've got an ATI... so sorry to hear that... let's see if maybe they've got something for that, YET | 18:48 |

Senjai | ohsix, I have to go, perhaps you can walk him through it | 18:49 |
ohsix | sirninja: well that's only one message of many, the one that made it to a log; there are actually a lot more that you wont see depending on where it fails | 18:49 |
Jetpack | cgkades: I guess I could use the recovery mode, where I can use sudo | 18:49 |
bullgard | llutz: You say:"what "hostid" gives you is a random number (mostly generated from ip-addresses/mac-addr)". Your statement contradicts 'man hostid': "hostid prints the numeric identifier for the current host." | 18:49 |
lastent | Hi, do you know any OCR app that works with chinese? | 18:50 |

bubble_ | How can I enable effects in ubuntu in vmware ? | 18:50 |
ActionParsnip | bubble_: i'd ask in #vmware compiz is installed and will enable if 3D accelleration is available | 18:50 |
sirninja | ohsix: any advice. The reason this seems strange to me is suspend had been working perfectly for about a year now. And it seems that even if I go back to older kernels, the issue persists | 18:50 |
cgkades | Jetpack: i think thats about your only option right now, unless someone who knows more can chime in | 18:50 |

Gnea | silverarrow: no, it's considered bottom-of-the-barrel since ATI/AMD refuse to support it the way that Intel and Nvidia have agreed to support their stuff. However, not all hope is lost... | 18:52 |
Gnea | BluesKaj: GTK is separate from gnome and kde. | 18:52 |
middle | senjai: When i add single should it come up with the recovery menu? | 18:52 |
noiro | ok tks | 18:52 |
llutz | bullgard: "numeric identifier" is just a unique number to identify a host. thats the purpose of hostid. read man-pages (2) for gethostid/sethostid | 18:52 |
ActionParsnip | Silverarrow: they drop "old" chips and the open driver helps support them | 18:52 |
ohsix | sirninja: yea i had some of my own problems like that; one was the intel video drive for a time, the rest was cgroup-bin; you should try going into the bios and using the "restore defaults" thing, but figuring it out yourself you'll need more logging information | 18:52 |
Gnea | BluesKaj: you'll just need to find a theme that works right | 18:52 |

silverarrow | I use the totemplayer, for some reason VLC runs smooth | 18:55 |
Gnea | silverarrow: quite possibly, if the video driver isn't in sync with the video chipset, then anything outside of basic video processing will likely suffer | 18:55 |
BluesKaj | yes Gnea I realize that , but I've done a lot of searching about this problem and haven't found any solutions for larger monitors . It's difficult to visualize unless you try it on a larger screen like I use on this media server pc connected to a 42" plasma | 18:55 |

BluesKaj | silverarrow, for what it's worth acer used to be considered crappy but the last few yrs their stuff is pretty competitive from a quality standpoint | 19:09 |

uRock | click to allow it bubble_ | 19:09 |
silverarrow | I have regarded HP highly and until recently macs too | 19:09 |
ohsix | BluesKaj: you will basically be told to buy a new computer for any problem you ask of their technical support tho, that's the killer | 19:10 |

chasr_ | My Acer started getting stress cracks and loose hinges afetr about 3 yrs | 19:11 |
ohsix | Rav_: this isn't the place to conduct a pole | 19:11 |
Gnea | silverarrow: the problem with the macbook air is that the cpu instructions are split - if you try to install Ubuntu or any other OS, for that matter, the CPU won't know what to do and it will permanently freeze it up, rendering the system 100% useless, except perhaps as a paperweight | 19:11 |
ohsix | Rav_: a poll even | 19:12 |
ActionParsnip | Rav_: why not use both??? | 19:12 |
ohsix | Gnea: whaaaaaaaat | 19:12 |

Gnea | ohsix: that could be it too.... supposedly there's a fix for that | 19:13 |
uRock | ohsix, nice accusations | 19:13 |
silverarrow | selling faulty macbooks that have been previously sold | 19:14 |

ohsix | uRock: it's no accusation, you just did it again: 11:12 < uRock> another Mac fail | 19:14 |
uRock | silverarrow, no sense overpaying for the same hardware you can get in a Dell | 19:14 |
boobsbr | bc81: thx | 19:14 |
ohsix | uRock: i'ts not the same hardware | 19:14 |
Gnea | ohsix: exactly. but for someone that's entirely new to the arena, I wouldn't recommend it. | 19:14 |
ActionParsnip | Urock: amen | 19:14 |
silverarrow | uRock, true, so dell is worth checking out? | 19:15 |
silverarrow | did you hear the story about the chip in apple printers? | 19:15 |
ohsix | Gnea: still, not "split cpu instructions" | 19:15 |
YankDownUnder | I wouldn't give Dell money if I could avoid it. | 19:15 |
ohsix | silverarrow: i'm sure it's not on topic | 19:15 |
silverarrow | true | 19:15 |
Gnea | dell's alright, but I'd avoid it | 19:15 |
Flyingfox_ | ActionParsnip Nothing happens | 19:16 |

Gnea | gnewb: I do | 19:16 |
uRock | ohsix, why do I need a battery for a desktop? | 19:16 |
ohsix | ActionParsnip: if you're going to just put ubuntu on it, that's probably true | 19:16 |
Gnea | gnewb: on a zotac right now | 19:16 |
silverarrow | well, topic is Ubuntu comparable hardware and laptops | 19:17 |
ohsix | uRock: you know what that right there is, that's moving the goal post; you said you can get the same hardware from dell, i proposed a situation where that wasn't true; you changed the question | 19:17 |
ActionParsnip | Flyingfox_: then readd the indicator applet to the panel, sounds like you removed it | 19:17 |
gnewb | Gnea: go off-topic a moment please? | 19:17 |

ActionParsnip | Flyingfox_:rightclick panel -> add item | 19:19 |
jrib | azm: why do you need 10.1? | 19:19 |
danub | got a problem trying to update from 10.4 to 10.10. it tells me that "an unresolvebale problem occured while calculating upgrade. 'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages" how do I un-held a package? | 19:19 |
ohsix | uRock: that you can get 12 hours is, that the average published life far exceeds lithium ion is not | 19:20 |
jrib | danub: do you have xserver-xorg-video-nouveau installed? | 19:20 |
azm | jrib, Because the lastest version cause to freeze system, via plugin container | 19:20 |

jrib | danub: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 19:20 |
ohsix | uRock: http://www.apple.com/macbook/specs.html 10 hours published battery time with wireless on, again; what's the model number for your asus? | 19:21 |
ActionParsnip | Jrib:.azm's flash (32bit) is chewing 1gb RAM. I recommended trying the older version to test | 19:21 |

bubble_ | uRock: Failed to execute child process "testparm" (No such file or directory) | 19:21 |
bencc | when I run the script with "sudo -u myuser ./myscript" it works | 19:21 |
uRock | ohsix, the stats given for my hardware is for Windows, they have no Ubuntu stats | 19:21 |
bencc | why there is a difference? | 19:21 |
danub | jrib: do i need to uninstall nouveau first? | 19:22 |
shachaf | bencc: Because of the -i. :-) | 19:22 |
ohsix | uRock: ubuntu has nothing to do with it; and all to do with what they measured with, model number? | 19:22 |
jrib | danub: then it's installed, remove it and try your upgrade again. See the bottom of the 10.04 → 10.10 upgrade page from ubottu for a link to the relevant bug (if you care) | 19:22 |
jrib | !upgrade > danub | 19:22 |

uRock | ohsix, that is BS, I have run the XP that came with it and got way less battery life out of it, OS does make a big difference | 19:23 |

mouka | I have a HP 6735b laptop | 19:23 |
ohsix | uRock: it's not BS; it's base-line, it's not material what difference the OS makes, you can reasonably expect to get 10 hours with a macbook | 19:23 |
ActionParsnip | Ohsix: good point | 19:23 |
uRock | ohsix, and you could probably get a longer life using a lighter OS | 19:24 |
ohsix | uRock: but i'm just badgering you, and i know you won't provide the information anyways; but in a matchup of lithium ion vs. lithium polymer, lipo always wins; and you can't get a dell with lipo in it | 19:24 |

jrib | frankbro: what are you doing to get the error? | 19:24 |

frankbro | jrib: Compiling amd codeanalyst from source | 19:25 |
ohsix | uRock: and the fact that you have visible disdain and no real facts to back up your dislike of apple | 19:25 |

azm | maybe I should reinstall the flash installer too | 19:30 |
ActionParsnip | Mouka add: options snd-hda-intel model=hp in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 19:30 |

WRStone | I'm attempting to create my first package for inclusion in my PPA. It's quite simple: just a collection of Truetype fonts that I always install and would rather do it via a .deb than manually install every time I bring up a new box. | 19:56 |
WRStone | This should be fairly straightforward: ultimately, all that happens is a bunch of .ttf files get copied to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/wrstone.com, and the font cache is rebuilt. However, I've been banging my head on the package creation for a couple of days without much success. I've built RPM packages for this before, but the Debian package is apparently an order of magnitude more complex. | 19:56 |
WRStone | Any comments, suggestions, advice, assistance, or nasty remarks would be appreciated. | 19:56 |
ohsix | IanWizard: but you can also change it from the calendar widget | 19:56 |

IanWizard | Linda_92, google system72 (or system76) they make ubuntu laptops. | 19:57 |
ohsix | WRStone: you just need more than a spec file :D you can try apt-get source and using one of the existing font packages if you want an example | 19:57 |
ad_kastelijn_khv | ianwizard, i thought so, no hard feelings, it is really crowed here!! | 19:57 |
llutz | bullgard: seems its the same page in section 2 and 3, i don't know | 19:57 |

dr_willis | khafra, do you have a title bar at the top f the windows? | 20:04 |
khafra | dr_willis: Yup | 20:04 |
ohsix | khafra: try ctrl+alt+f1, then ctrl+alt+f7 to switch to a console and back; some grabs can do that and if you're lucky it'll break it | 20:04 |
dr_willis | khafra, odd. Not sure what to suggest then. 'metacity --replace' might kick it in the head also. | 20:04 |

bencahill_ | so, anyone know why my sempron is running slower than it should? | 20:16 |

mkanyicy | kl0x, your question is soooo simple! | 20:16 |
kl0x | you're right, | 20:16 |
kl0x | lol it is | 20:16 |
guntbert | !sudo | kl0x | 20:17 |

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 | 20:17 |

kl0x | Ok, I've got three users and I'm using user A, I want to change the session to user B and it goes to gdm login and asks me the user and password | 20:18 |
kl0x | I'd prefer to be asked for the pass rightaway | 20:18 |
Elssha | not too sure what that is so... | 20:18 |
jrib | kl0x: how would it know the user you want to switch to? | 20:18 |

ohsix | UsrNckTry1: why do you want to firewall everything, do you have services running you don't want? if you want to firewall all the listen()'ing a user program can do, just firewall 1024-20000 or so, and set the user port limit to 20000 | 20:27 |
auro1 | hello | 20:27 |
kl0x | Ok, I gtg, thanks for your help jrib | 20:27 |
auro1 | Is there a way to make applications start automatically | 20:27 |
auro1 | in a specific workspace | 20:28 |
auro1 | when you log in? | 20:28 |
ohsix | UsrNckTry1: portmap and stuff will break, so nfs wont work; and nothing else you might need come to mind at the moment | 20:28 |
kl0x | thank you everyone, c ya | 20:28 |
UsrNckTry1 | ohsix: There's not anything I don't wish to run, it's just that I thought I might be somewhat safer with a firewall... Was I wrong? | 20:28 |
ohsix | UsrNckTry1: it's safer for sure, but quantifying how much isn't easy; and it might in the end only be very slight | 20:29 |
moparisthebest | my root partition just went read only, can I safely run an fsck on it while the system is running on it read only? | 20:29 |
ohsix | moparisthebest: no, it's not safe | 20:30 |
erUSUL | moparisthebest: nope better use a livecd. see « dmesg » it may have info on why it went ro | 20:30 |
moparisthebest | so how do I run one then? It's a server, so I can't use a livecd | 20:30 |
ohsix | you need to unmount it to do it, whatever gets doing that | 20:31 |
moparisthebest | this is the error: | 20:31 |
moparisthebest | [3333860.011409] EXT3-fs error (device md4): ext3_get_inode_loc: unable to read inode block - inode=29545028, block=118161702 | 20:31 |
ohsix | that's a problem | 20:31 |
mkanyicy | moparisthebest, try 'sudo mount / -o rw,remount && sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot' | 20:31 |
moparisthebest | i don't know if its safe to mount it rw again | 20:31 |
mkanyicy | moparisthebest, ok then reboot into the recovery mode and fsck | 20:32 |
ohsix | moparisthebest: try hdparm --read-sector 118161702 /dev/md4 (or wherever the md device is) | 20:32 |
ohsix | mkanyicy: not yet, his disk is damaged, best to see what kind | 20:32 |
Prinler | CROSS YOUR FINGERS! | 20:33 |
erUSUL | raid array | 20:33 |
mkanyicy | ohsix, disk is damaged? are you sure? | 20:33 |
Prinler | god i hope this change to Xserver config doesnt nuke it | 20:33 |
ohsix | moparisthebest: anything else is going to need smartmontools so if it isn't installed already theres not much to do | 20:33 |
moparisthebest | it looks like it could be damaged | 20:33 |
moparisthebest | I believe it is ohsix | 20:33 |
ohsix | mkanyicy: things are generally readable when they work :D | 20:33 |
ohsix | moparisthebest: ok see if that hdparm command returns an io error | 20:34 |
mkanyicy | ohsix, i used to have that problem before | 20:34 |
moparisthebest | it appears readable, but it mounted it ro | 20:34 |
mkanyicy | ohsix, i dont think its a hardware failure at all | 20:34 |
moparisthebest | I actually have an empty drive in there i was about to copy stuff to | 20:34 |
moparisthebest | so I think I'll mount it and rsync everything over before I start running commands on this drive | 20:34 |
moparisthebest | sounds like a good idea, right? | 20:34 |
ohsix | mkanyicy: it doesn't have to be with dm in the middle, but any read error that made it to the fs driver or a user program is bad | 20:35 |
mkanyicy | moparisthebest, try to restart your computer again without doing anything and see if ever it still comes readonly or not | 20:35 |
moparisthebest | mkanyicy, but then I run the risk of it not coming up at all | 20:35 |
ohsix | moparisthebest: do you know what disk in the array that sector is on? | 20:35 |
matthewrbowker | Allright, I have a quick question. I have ubuntu 9.10 installed on an Asus EEEpc 1000HD. When I boot, everything works fine until I get to the login screen. The login screen displays as a condensed series of white bars, and I can't menuver at all. I'm forced to use Windows :( Anyone have any ideas? | 20:35 |
moparisthebest | yes, because there is only one disk in the array :/ | 20:36 |
mkanyicy | moparisthebest, oh boy, good luck then | 20:36 |
ohsix | moparisthebest: if not, do smartctl -x /dev/{all of them in the set}, and post the output | 20:36 |
ohsix | (to a pastebin) | 20:36 |
moparisthebest | smartctl doesn't take -x, did you mean something else ohsix? | 20:37 |
RedXIII | The gnome-power-manager shows the wrong battery status. Is there anything I can do to fix it? | 20:37 |
ohsix | it does take an x, are you using 9.10 or 10.04? | 20:37 |
RedXIII | That is, to say that currently the icon in the gnomenotification area shows as charging, but I'm discharging on battery right now | 20:37 |
moparisthebest | 10.04 | 20:37 |
RedXIII | Is there a setting somewhere I missed? | 20:37 |
ohsix | but it doesn't matter, -x is just for extended reporting, or falling back to -a; you can do smartctl -a instead | 20:37 |
UsrNckTry1 | erUSUL: that BitTorent FAQ was nice, although, along with what ohsix said, it makes me think firewall might be a lot of work to set up properly, with little gain... Thanks for your help guys (or girls, no offense meant) :D | 20:37 |

RedXIII | battery tests? | 20:39 |

ResQue | i found the answer, i need to choose a level 3 key, in system > Preferences > Keyboard > layout > options | 20:40 |

RedXIII | ohsix, Ah. I'm on campus right now and I'm not near a plug to run the tests. What would I do with that information? | 20:40 |
ohsix | RedXIII: it'll tell you where its wrong, and give you grist for a decent bug report | 20:41 |
toresbe | hey folks - TV out stopped working after upgrading to natty - TV is detected, but no output. Any suggestions on how I can narrow this down, so that I may write a decent bug report (and get to watch stuff on my TV)? :) | 20:41 |
toresbe | Everything in xorg.0.log is hunky-dorey. If I try to disable the KMS, I simply get the VESA driver. | 20:41 |
RedXIII | ohsix, I see. So I'd need to submit a bug report? | 20:41 |
mikhas | ok, let me rephrase then: where can I get libqt4 >= 4.7 for 10.04? ;-) | 20:42 |
jsimmons | I'm getting a weird error where at boot plymouth complains about my drives having serious errors, but upon inspection they're perfectly fine. | 20:42 |
jsimmons | No errors from fsck and no errors when manually mounting | 20:42 |
ohsix | moparisthebest: try smartctl -t select,159811400+100, after that, look at the output of smartctl -l selftest | 20:42 |
Prinler | How do i "Run an X server with enough verbosity to print out the EDID block" Hate to report | 20:42 |

mickster04 | How do i fix grub? I put it on sda1 and it's boots ubuntu fine, but windows is on sda1 and now it won't boot, just loops round.... | 20:44 |
ohsix | jsimmons: try tunning the disk utility and looking at the drive, you can get to it through the menus or by pressing alt+f2 and typing in palimpsest | 20:44 |
ohsix | RedXIII: it can just be a fluke too | 20:44 |
jsimmons | yeah it's not showing any errors either ohsix, just checked there. | 20:44 |
ohsix | RedXIII: do you boot with noacpi or anything like that? | 20:44 |
RedXIII | I didn't change any boot flags. | 20:44 |
mkanyicy | !grub | mickster04 | 20:44 |

ohsix | RedXIII: if you look at dmesg do you see any messages about the battery being added | 20:44 |
mickster04 | mkanyicy: yeah not helpful | 20:45 |
mkanyicy | mickster04, what is not helpful? | 20:45 |

mickster04 | mkanyicy: that link, it doesnt have a case for my problem | 20:45 |
mkanyicy | mickster04, grub2 or grub legacy? | 20:45 |
mickster04 | mkanyicy: 1010. so grub2 | 20:45 |
RedXIII | Also, there isn't a boot screen when I boot ubuntu. It just shows the contents of dmesg | 20:46 |
erUSUL | yrlnry: depends. it may be needed to restart udisks? what driver it is? | 20:46 |
ohsix | RedXIII: you can _try_ killing upowerd, i think it will restart; but no guarantees | 20:46 |
mkanyicy | mickster04, pastebin 'sudo parted -l | 20:46 |
t-rask | If anyone here is familiar with VOCPROC (auto-tuner), I'm having trouble actually getting it going? I know it says it's an "LV2 plugin" but I'm not sure exactly what that means or what I have to do to run it.. | 20:47 |
RedXIII | Its been like this ever since I installed ubuntu 10.10 | 20:47 |
RedXIII | I don't think its a 1-time fluke. | 20:47 |
mkanyicy | mickster04, have you already attempted to use 'grub-install'? | 20:47 |
yrlnry | erUSUL: iSight video camera driver. | 20:47 |
mkanyicy | t-rask, no one is familiar with that | 20:47 |
Roasted | Can I choose rhythmbox to sync with a folder other than my Music folder? I'd like to sync it with a folder on my desktop that has music files in it. | 20:47 |
ohsix | t-rask: lv2 plugins are hosted in other programs, you need to use a recording app or another host with it | 20:48 |
mikhas | OK, no so Qt 4.7 on 10.04 then? | 20:48 |
mickster04 | mkanyicy: well grub is installed, it boots into ubuntu fine (sda5) | 20:48 |
t-rask | ohsix, other programs such as? I have Ardour, I assumed that would do it? | 20:48 |
mickster04 | mkanyicy: oh i am not at home atm | 20:48 |
UsrNckTry1 | erUSUL: if you are not too busy, might I try sending you a small text file? I'm trying to test DCC function, it failed for me before, and I don't have a "guinea pig"... Fell free to reject | 20:48 |
mkanyicy | mickster04, well it will be difficult to help you then | 20:48 |
ohsix | RedXIII: well like i said; the manual checks you can do show that the information you need for it to work is there, and barring weird boot options or a self built kernel theres not a lot more that can go wrong | 20:49 |
mkanyicy | mickster04, but hang on a sec, you say you can load ubuntu with your grub? then what is the real problem? | 20:49 |
bc81 | Roasted: this might be of help to you > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rhythmbox#Multiple%20Library%20Directories | 20:49 |
mickster04 | mkanyicy: windows won't get loaded grub just reloads itself | 20:49 |
ohsix | t-rask: i don't know personally, but yes; the recording apps pretty much support all the plugin types there are on linux, lv2 and whatever the other 2 are | 20:49 |
RedXIII | ok. I'll run those tests when I get close to an outlet and come back ^^ | 20:49 |
jsimmons | I can't find anything there either ohsix, it's as if nothing ever happened. | 20:49 |
jsimmons | read over the whole boot process | 20:49 |
mkanyicy | mickster04, have you ran 'sudo update-grub' on ubuntu? | 20:50 |
jsimmons | ah wait in the syslog there's something | 20:50 |
mickster04 | mkanyicy: yeah | 20:50 |
mickster04 | I'll get home after work, and try again, then get back on here then if it doesn't work | 20:50 |
Roasted | bc81, I tried that exact link. What's weird is in my desktop folder, there is 6gb worth of music that I want to sync to the device. But it comes up saying I have 24gb of music. And that's true. I have 24gb of music in my MUSIC folder. I want to sync to my DESKTOP folder that has 6gb. It's as if it didn't take the setting. | 20:50 |
mkanyicy | mickster04, i guess you might need to do a 'grub-install' again | 20:51 |

jsimmons | oh of course, it's moved to sda5 since I messed with the sata ports ohsix | 20:52 |
jsimmons | I thought all the fstab entries were using uuids | 20:52 |
mickster04 | mkanyicy: i just wondered if it was definitly because grub was on the same partition as windows and couldn't get past itself... | 20:52 |
guntbert | omoleye: we hear you. Do you have an ubuntu support question? | 20:52 |
ohsix | manually added entries tend not to; uuid's are confusing! | 20:52 |

Roasted | bc81, and that answer I don't like, but ya know what, I gotta use what works. | 20:55 |
Roasted | bc81, I don't think its an ubuntu problem, or a sandisk problem. It's gotta be a rhythmbox problem. | 20:56 |

jsimmons | Cool thanks ohsix! Fixed up fstab with the proper uuid. | 20:56 |
ohsix | moparisthebest: anyways, if it doesn't succeed that self test, that stretch of sectors isn't going to be remapped until you do an offline test, or wait an undetermined amount of time for the firmware to decide to do it :\ (chances are they aren't bad, temperature can cause it sometimes, if Reallocated_Event_Count increases after Current_Pending_Sector goes down, then watch the first, the drive is in a death spiral, either a slow or a fast one) | 20:56 |
Diamondcite | Roasted: I'm sorry if I'm intruding.. but can't the files just be copied into the player's music folder and be done with it? | 20:56 |
bc81 | Roasted: possibly..hehe Exaile is buggy, but does some things quite well | 20:56 |
Roasted | Diamondcite, oh yes, easily. But I need to use a program like rhythmbox to set up playlists, which is my goal. | 20:56 |
moparisthebest | ohsix, I'm backing up all my files first to a spare drive, then I'll try things | 20:57 |
Roasted | Diamondcite, I ride bike for miles at a time. It's irritating to change 1 song at a time when I'm on a 100 mile ride. I'd rather set up a playlist on shuffle and ride to the state line. | 20:57 |
moparisthebest | actually, it's a dedicated I pay for, so I'll probably just tell them its bad and have them replace it | 20:57 |
Diamondcite | Roasted: I have no idea how that works.. but on a walkman I throw everything into the device and have it sort it out by itself... | 20:57 |
moparisthebest | i learned once in the past, the hard way, that just because a drive is mounted ro now, doesn't mean you can reboot and expect to ever mount it again :( | 20:58 |
ohsix | moparisthebest: good deal; always nice to go through the motions when you end up having to do that yourself | 20:58 |
ohsix | yep, not rebooting was a good idea; if you did you might lose half the disk | 20:58 |
ohsix | instead of just that inode it couldn't read | 20:58 |
moparisthebest | yea | 20:58 |
moparisthebest | i knew this disk had a problem | 20:58 |
moparisthebest | because the raid array wouldn't sync | 20:58 |
moparisthebest | but it never did this before | 20:58 |
ohsix | ah | 20:58 |
omoleye | does anyone know how to enable a user to find a path/file like in the terminal using script | 20:59 |
moparisthebest | funny thing is I was going to replace it today anyhow :) | 20:59 |
moparisthebest | now i'm forced into it | 20:59 |

moparisthebest | nope, I only back up everything every 7 days, so yesterday is pretty good :) | 21:03 |
ohsix | moparisthebest: duplicity is great; still scans all files at the source though | 21:03 |
prefrontal | i ran this command, nouveau is STILL installed..sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 21:03 |
mkanyicy | moparisthebest, funny i never gone through those emotions when i encountered this problem over n over | 21:03 |
Oer | sincere, add & > xcompmgr & | 21:03 |
sincir | ohsix: 1.) openbox needs it to have some eyecandy (that i REALLY need ;)) 2.) i don't know any alternative yet, you have a hint for me? | 21:03 |
mkanyicy | moparisthebest, i dont backup | 21:04 |
ohsix | sincir: ah if you're using it with openbox you'll probably need to keep doing it, the alternatives are different window managers | 21:04 |
moparisthebest | look into rdiff-backup, it's an excellent tool | 21:04 |
andrew2 | bc81: are you sure about that? I mean any shortcut to a folder opens in VLC player instead of opening nautilus as folder explorer? | 21:04 |
moparisthebest | I used to roll my own scripts using tar.bz2 and such | 21:04 |
andrew2 | bc81: i'll try it though | 21:04 |
moparisthebest | but after discovering rdiff-backup I'm a changed man :) | 21:04 |
bc81 | andrew2: i'm sure, because i have made this mistake myself :) | 21:04 |
andrew2 | bc81, okay | 21:05 |
ohsix | sincir: compiz, metacity has compositing built in now (based off xcompmgr) kwin ha some stuff, generally any overlapping window manager that's still maintained does some form of compositing | 21:05 |
sincir | ohsix: but i'm sure my problem is just some childish rights problem, right? | 21:05 |
ohsix | sincir: compiz is the go-to eyecandy choice tho | 21:05 |
sincir | ohsix: no, compiz is too much of a load to just have a transparent terminal... | 21:05 |
ohsix | sincir: i dunno, running it as root is never right, you probably have some files in your home dir or /tmp that got their permission changed by using sudo; and as a regular user it can't connect | 21:06 |
ohsix | ah, shrug, compiz barely ever uses 1% cpu here | 21:06 |
sincir | ohsix: which config files in ~ does xcompmgr need to read? Xdefaults? | 21:06 |
bc81 | andrew2: you probably wanted to open a VIDEO_TS folder with vlc, no? | 21:06 |
ohsix | sincir: the .ICEauthority and some others that it gets credentials from to connect to the server | 21:07 |
freetz | what happened to linux-image-debug? | 21:07 |
antonius | look, i know ati sucks, but why would compiz stop working after installing updates? grrr | 21:07 |
ohsix | sincir: just checking that they're owned by you should be sufficient to see whats going on | 21:07 |
ohsix | antonius: what was updated? | 21:07 |
andrew2 | bc81 it worked. Thanks! | 21:08 |
bc81 | andrew2: better to associate IFO files with vlc. you can do this by adding "application/x-extension-IFO=vlc.desktop;" to the mimeapps.list file | 21:08 |
bc81 | welcome | 21:08 |
milen8204 | any one who have use g-mount ? | 21:08 |
bugs_bugger | hi there! ive got some trouble: i want to install xubuntu on an old machine( cpu 662mhz ram 448mb). alternate cd crashes after selecting install from the bootmenu with the following output visible on screen "Trying to enable the frame buffer..." | 21:08 |
JeffCBR | How can I stop eth0? | 21:08 |
sincir | is it really ok to have .ICEauthority readable for any user? | 21:08 |
bc81 | milen, Gmount-iso? yes | 21:08 |
andrew2 | bc81 and will that open the dvd to is menu? | 21:08 |
khafra | ohsix: Looks like it may very well be flash killing my system. I've put out an open contract on all Adobe VPs, as part of my bugfix attempt | 21:08 |
sincir | ohsix: is it really ok to have .ICEauthority readable for any user? | 21:08 |
bc81 | andrew2: yes, just open the first IFO in the folder | 21:09 |
ohsix | sincir: no, it's supposed to be for you, they're your credentials | 21:09 |
bc81 | andrew2: that will being you the main menu | 21:09 |
andrew2 | bc81 VIDEO_TS.IFO ? | 21:09 |
turbokumbi | busg-bugger: have you tried installing it with the text-based installer? | 21:09 |
bc81 | milen8204: Gmount-iso? yes | 21:09 |
ohsix | sincir: looks like this here -rw------- 1 ohsix ohsix 3454 2011-02-17 12:07 /home/ohsix/.ICEauthority | 21:09 |
bc81 | andrew2: yes, i believe so | 21:09 |
andrew2 | bc81 okay, thanks again. great info | 21:09 |
JeffCBR | chmod 600 .ICEauthority | 21:09 |
sincir | ohsix: by "any" i mean "me" (atm it's just -rw-------) | 21:10 |
ohsix | khafra: nice, are you using nspluginwrapper or an nvidia card? | 21:10 |
bugs_bugger | turbokumbi: i did use the textbased one. its lucid 10.04 btw | 21:10 |
ohsix | sincir: as long as it says you own it then it's not a problem | 21:10 |
bc81 | milen8204: what is your question?> | 21:10 |
nightshadex101 | i have this annoying problem: i have a laptop connected to an external monitor, with both screens on, no mirror. The external monitor is on top of the laptop display, so I configured it like that on the monitor configuration menu. but if i maximize a window on the laptop display, the title bar seems to be covered by the top panel... any way to resolve this? | 21:10 |
sincir | ohsix: it looks just like yours: -rw------- 1 ohsix ohsix 3454 2011-02-17 12:07 /home/ohsix/.ICEauthority - so i don't have to change anything? | 21:10 |
milen8204 | how to g-mount two iso files at the same time ? | 21:11 |
khafra | ohsix: nspluginwrapper--but my card is a gefore 9800 GT. Dunno why Ubuntu chose nspluginwrapper | 21:11 |
khafra | At least, I think it's nspluginwrapper. Dunno how to check | 21:11 |
ohsix | khafra: well because theres no nonbeta flash plugin, you can purge flashplugin-installer and install the plugin manually | 21:11 |
ohsix | khafra: if you're not running the 64bit edition then it's not nspluginwrapper | 21:11 |
bc81 | milen8204: i never down 2 files at the same time, but maybe all you must do is mount them at different locations eg. /media/iso1 /media/iso2 | 21:12 |
khafra | I'm on 64bit | 21:12 |
khafra | That might explain it. | 21:12 |
milen8204 | ok i done this but i cant opened the second | 21:12 |
milen8204 | iso file | 21:12 |
khafra | ohsix: 64-bit AMD | 21:12 |
bugs_bugger | turbokumbi: i used the textbased installer with this switches: startoptionfile=/cdrom preseed/xubuntu.seed initrd=/installintrd.gz quiet-- | 21:12 |
turbokumbi | bugs_bugger then no idea here.. | 21:13 |
ohsix | khafra: yea so uninstall flash from the package manager and get the .so for 64bit flash from adobe, stash it in ~/.mozilla/plugins | 21:13 |
bugs_bugger | turbokumbi: dang... | 21:13 |
bugs_bugger | turbokumbi: curious thing is: windows xp is running quite smoothly on the very system | 21:14 |
khafra | Neato; I'll give it a shot. | 21:14 |

ohsix | bugs_bugger: xp isn't linux or ubuntu so it doesn't much matter what it does :D | 21:16 |
turbokumbi | bugs_bugger: i'd run a memtest, but it's highly unlikely to find anything, as xp seems to run fine. other than that, no idea, sorry :P | 21:16 |
quarter25cents | Well, not exactly the easiest, just the best way. Universal USB Installer ain't doing it for me. | 21:16 |
bugs_bugger | ohsix: thats not what i meant to say. usually, linux is the system that runs on everything, even microwaves ^^ this time its the other way around | 21:16 |
mkanyicy | !best | quarter25cents | 21:17 |
ubottu | quarter25cents: 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. | 21:17 |
ohsix | quarter25cents: i've always used the usb startup disk creator _in_ ubuntu; i bet theres an article on the wiki about something that might work from windows | 21:17 |
quarter25cents | Well, the problem is my netbook does not have a CD drive, so I am indeed stuck to just USBs. | 21:17 |
quarter25cents | I have not successfly installed Ubuntu, I am just getting started. | 21:17 |
bc81 | milen8204: i just tried it, it worked fine. open iso, open mount point, mount. repeat for second iso | 21:18 |
bugs_bugger | turbokumbi: well, a memtest takes some time. i think ill give it a shot after trying an older distro of xubuntu. | 21:18 |

I am demoing Ubuntu in a VM, win7 x64 host. i can't get ubuntu to set a higher resolution than 800x600. i want to set up Evolution but the 'Evolution Setup Assistant' enforces a minimum window size. The button i need to click to continue is in the bottom right of the window. I cannot drag the window to a location where I can see what i'm doing | 21:23 |
MarkB | How can I use my webcam with Emesene? | 21:23 |
plato | i can tab around but i keep accidentally hitting 'exit' as I have no idea what buttons are at the bottom of the page | 21:23 |
duxbarak | ohsix: when i try to compile, i get linking errors, even if i do a simple Hello World program or less | 21:23 |
xangua | MarkB: no idea, maybe emesene+emesene ca | 21:23 |
xangua | can* | 21:23 |
MarkB | What do you mean? | 21:24 |
ohsix | duxbarak: that's still a universe of possibilities for someone who would hazard a guess at what the actual error message is | 21:24 |
magicianlord | Good day, sirs. | 21:24 |
mkanyicy | imi, i would advise you to be careful with that | 21:24 |
ohsix | imi: not always, but most filesystems include tools that can | 21:25 |
imi | ohsix: ext4 | 21:25 |
duxbarak | ohsix: on compiling an empty program, ie int main(){}, i get --> /tmp/ccaKQ5yK.o:(.eh_frame+0x12): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0' | 21:25 |

jrib | cellis: huh? | 21:25 |
cellis | if i type | 21:25 |
duxbarak | plato: what VM are you using? | 21:25 |
plato | virtualbox | 21:25 |
cellis | jrib: cd / | 21:25 |
jrib | cellis: please keep your question/responses on one line | 21:26 |
duxbarak | plato: did you install the VB extensions inside ubuntu? | 21:26 |
cellis | ok | 21:26 |
plato | duxbarak: no, do you know where to find them | 21:26 |
ohsix | duxbarak: sounds like you are using g++ but you don't have the c++ bits gcc requires installed | 21:26 |
plato | duxbarax: there's a 'install host extensions' menu item in virtualbox. clicking it has no apparent effect. | 21:27 |
jrib | duxbarak: pastebin exactly what you are doing | 21:27 |
mkanyicy | imi, dont do it | 21:27 |
duxbarak | plato: that option should mount a cd inside the virtual machine, which contains the installation script | 21:27 |
GoGi2 | how do I disable compiz? | 21:27 |

imi | mkanyicy: I just want to know whether there is anything lost on my HDD. why not? | 21:28 |
jrib | GoGi2: disable effects in System -> Preferences -> Appearance | 21:28 |

GoGi2 | is shows up in the process list | 21:29 |
jrib | GoGi2: strange. You selected "none" and pressed "ok" (or similar)? | 21:29 |

cellis | jrib, bc81: http://pastie.org/1591059 | 21:30 |
jrib | cellis: why would you expect / to be displayed when you are in ~? ~ is /home/cameron | 21:31 |
bc81 | cellis, you must specify. ls usage is ls [OPTION]... [FILE]... | 21:31 |
duxbarak | every time i try to compile any cpp file, it compiles fine to .o, then when it tries to link, it gives me errors from ld saying "undefined reference to __gxx_foo" | 21:32 |
jrib | duxbarak: pastebin exactly what you are doing | 21:32 |
bc81 | cellis: you want to see the contents of root folder when in home folder? type "ls /" | 21:32 |
noob2 | IdleOne: Are you here? | 21:32 |
ohsix | duxbarak: that's not a linker problem | 21:32 |
jrib | GoGi2: well you can do « metacity --replace ». I don't know what the Appearances dialogue isn't doing that | 21:32 |
duxbarak | jrib, i haven't used IRC forever, how do i pastebin again? | 21:32 |
jrib | !paste | duxbarak | 21:33 |
ubottu | duxbarak: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 21:33 |
magicianlord | duxbarak: ctr+shift+v | 21:33 |
cellis | sorry jrib, completely new to this. I thought ls gives all files under where I am | 21:33 |
jrib | cellis: it does. / is the root or top of your filesystem. ~ is two directories under that, ~ is /home/cameron | 21:34 |
duxbarak | I think I got it, I'll pastebin it all if not | 21:35 |
cellis | but it makes sense that "/" could be a sibling. | 21:35 |
cellis | of "~" | 21:35 |

jrib | trichard: what happens different on the other machine/ | 21:42 |
ohsix | JeffCBR: the gnome wiki pages for networkmanager has info on how to use a keyfile to get networkmanager to ignore an interface | 21:42 |
c0br42 | how would i start a graphical program up like warzone2100(on tty7) remotely | 21:43 |
c0br42 | as root | 21:43 |
trichard | jrib: on my laptop the device doesn't show up in /dev at all but libk8055 works perfectly | 21:43 |
ohsix | JeffCBR: if you're going to manage all your interfaces manually and in perpetuity you could just keep networkmanager from starting as well | 21:43 |
sacarlson | dissipate: I think shred can do more than just files as seen here http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/delete_files_securely_with_shred/ shred -zn10 /dev/sda would shred a disk and shred -zn10 /dev/sda1 I guess should shred a partition | 21:43 |

costas | hello all | 21:50 |
jrib | c0br42: run the server on the machine you are trying to connect to and the viewer on the machine you are on now | 21:50 |
c0br42 | i did......... | 21:50 |
jrib | c0br42: and why are you logged in as root anyway? | 21:50 |
z0z0 | hi all | 21:50 |
jrib | c0br42: you said you ran vncviewer over ssh | 21:51 |
c0br42 | jrib okay this is my question, do i have to be logged into the graphical terminal when i start up vncserver? | 21:51 |
jrib | c0br42: depends on the server and I don't know the particulars of each one | 21:51 |
c0br42 | VNCSERVER!!! | 21:52 |
jrib | "I don't know the particulars of each one" (read its documentation) | 21:52 |
c0br42 | jrib: okay.... which one would allow me to NOT have to start it up in the graphical terminal? | 21:52 |
c0br42 | because THATS the one I want | 21:52 |
jrib | c0br42: read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers to see which one suits you | 21:53 |
JeffCBR | Now we're cooking with gas! | 21:53 |
c0br42 | jrib: you said it depends on the server, i assumed you had knowledge of at least a few >.< | 21:53 |
c0br42 | at least thats what you indicated | 21:53 |
ohsix | ass of ume | 21:53 |
z0z0 | a question: a folder with name FOLDER with a few folders inside and a few simlinks shered via samba. When I open shared folder under windows client everything looks ok, but if I open shared folder from a mac osx client I see symlinks instead of folders.... how to make symlinks to be visible like folders? | 21:53 |
jrib | c0br42: no, I have knowledge of once reading that page but do not know specifically which server behaved how | 21:54 |
sacarlson | dissipate: but I see what sfill does now, so your partition wasn't empty before you wanted to wipe it I guess. this only wipes unused spaces bettween files that exist in a directory | 21:54 |
c0br42 | so i just wasted my time....... great -_- | 21:54 |
jrib | c0br42: not sure why you say that, just follow the instructions on the first wiki page and you can vnc | 21:54 |
ohsix | z0z0: osx probably connects via cifs and actually supports the symlinks; you might need to force that ability off in samba | 21:54 |
c0br42 | jrib, not via a remotely logged into terminal apparently | 21:55 |
oldlady | I wonder if you could help me, please. I think my husband will soon make me get a laptop. I'd like to have linux on it, but I really can't afford any of the preinstalled linux computers. Is there any laptop that plays nice with linux that I can buy at say, Best Buy or Microcenter? | 21:55 |
madwill | how can i make sure i'm using x11 | 21:55 |
z0z0 | ohsix: do you mean disable working with symlinks in samba? | 21:55 |
trichard | jrib: seems like it was a permissions error, i can't remember that i changed anything on my laptop but seems like i did it anyway. Thanks for helping out ;) | 21:55 |
c0br42 | oldlady: dell inspiron 1545 | 21:55 |
jrib | c0br42: I don't understand what you want to do with a remotely logged into terminal. Put the server on the machine you want to connect to, run viewer on the machine you want to connect from. Why do you keep bringing up a "remotely logged in terminal"? | 21:56 |
madwill | i need to use x11grab and it gives me a black windows | 21:56 |
jrib | trichard: cool, glad you figured it out | 21:56 |
DrPoI | what would happen if you were using dupilcity to do incremental backups and you run out of space?? Any ideas? | 21:56 |
thruxton | oldlady: most new HP laptops work well with linux | 21:56 |
ohsix | z0z0: disable sending them to the client; clients that speak cifs/the unix extensions for it will get the symlinks, whereas windows normally wont | 21:56 |
madwill | a blog told me it could be that i don't use x11 grab but can that be ? | 21:56 |
madwill | i'm using 10.04 ubuntu | 21:56 |
c0br42 | jrib oh idk, maybe because i'm logged in remotely and don't have physical access to the machine atm | 21:56 |

oldlady | Thank you so much, thruxton | 21:56 |

marcagio | Hi ppl, I was wondering if anyone could help, I'm trying to boot the live CD on a computer which has an ATI video cart with S-video output... it's connected to my TV and I can't get it to display properly... I would setup the resolution and display on another screen if I had one, but all I got are 3 imacs and a laptop... | 22:21 |
bc81 | madwill: what is the command you are using? more details | 22:21 |
TTSDA | Hello, I have a problem, with ubuntu 10.10, I installed some packages to run a minecraft map renderer, it worked, then I changed apache directory and rebooted the server. Now, when I boot it a purple screen saying Ubuntu 10.10 appears with a loading bar(more like dots) I cant connect via ssh or anything. When I started it there used to appear a terminal and that is it. Now, I want to re-install ubuntu server but I cant retrieve my files | 22:21 |
madwill | <bc81> SWEET LORD the effect were on normal not disabled !! i've disabled them and now its works Your my champion !! | 22:21 |
TTSDA | Now there is just a back screen and I was able to connect with ssh | 22:21 |
loris | se dovessi installare un nuovo tema x ubuntu....dove dovrei salvarlo in quale cartella???? | 22:21 |
TTSDA | I will retrieve my stuff | 22:21 |
bc81 | madwill: glad to hear you fixed it! :_) | 22:21 |

ubottu | livingwithrats: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:23 |
livingwithrats | i need a good firewall | 22:24 |
ShapeShifter499 | alsa won't save my settings... how do I fix this? | 22:24 |
exutux | !iptables | 22:24 |
ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 22:24 |
ResQue | pr0ph3t: i am sorry i know that information was kind of vague. maybe there is a command i can run to find the driver i insstalled | 22:24 |
pr0ph3t | bc81, I forgot the pipe :P | 22:24 |
livingwithrats | i have been using ubuntu 1 week | 22:24 |

bc81 | Roasted: you can try to fsck the device, if possible | 22:25 |
sacarlson | livingwithrats: only time you need a firewall is if you want to filter access from different parts of a network, if not just close the listeners you don't need | 22:25 |
exutux | livingwithrats: why do you think that needs a firewall? | 22:25 |
ResQue | pr0ph3t: i dont understand then, the GUI does not start up. and on tty7 there shows now error. just some information about what the kernel did last "* Checking battery state [OK]" | 22:25 |
pr0ph3t | ResQue, but maybe there are some incompatibilities with you nvidia card at the moment, I used to have them as well and although they are great, the linux drivers they make are usually | 22:26 |
ResQue | pr0ph3t: normaly the Gui would start stright after this. but it has not come up. | 22:26 |
pr0ph3t | ResQue, ctrl+alt+F8 | 22:26 |

bc81 | ShapeShifter499: you go into the alsamixer? | 22:28 |
ResQue | pr0ph3t: i mine, x is on 7, but there is nothing not even a virtual terminal on mine after 7, there is on 1-7 though | 22:28 |
WalterBishop | What is an .O file, and how do I run it? | 22:28 |
pr0ph3t | ResQue, ctrl+alt+F7 gives the last checks o the boot process on my machine as well | 22:29 |
ShapeShifter499 | bc81, it won't work, after everytime I start my computer it starts with my speakers muted, and I have to use alsamixer from the terminal to unmute | 22:29 |
Stevezau | hmm i did a apt-get install lxde but its not showing up when i reboot.. | 22:29 |
WalterBishop | I'm trying to compile some C code, but its giving me .o files as output. | 22:29 |

Bigbucks | Is there anyone here who knows much about using apache on ubuntu? | 22:30 |
Quantum_Ion | mello, You will have to google that one its kinda complex | 22:30 |

jrib | Bigbucks: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 22:30 |
surial | Our home server used to be a xfce box, but the few GUI apps we used to run on it are now all replaced by command line tools... so it doesn't really need to boot into XFCE anymore. How do I reconfig the machine to not fire up a GUI at all and just stick with the command line? | 22:31 |
mello | Quantum_Ion: yeah been doing that for a while :). guess il have to continue that then thanx anyway | 22:31 |
wedwo- | Stevezau, options will appear at bottom of screen when you start typing your login password | 22:31 |
ResQue | pr0ph3t: this was when i was using just the live CD. so i dont think it is a miss placed setting. maybe something is not compabibile | 22:31 |

pr0ph3t | ResQue, what happens if you do ctrl+alt+F8? Also was it a clean install of Ubuntu? Standard? 64bit or 32bit? | 22:31 |
g_0_0 | ShapeShifter499, you could add something like -> amixer set master unmute - to rc.local | 22:31 |

ChogyDan | pupuserfac32c: what graphics card? | 22:48 |
pupuserfac32c | i think I tried to just do apt-get dist-upgrade unless it didn't work.. then I may have added release to it. | 22:48 |
tronyx | brontoeee: thanks for hte tip. i'll look into it. i'd guess it can be done, but like other services, can you forward the no machine server/service over SSH? | 22:48 |
coz_ | scottnyc, sudo apt-get install | 22:48 |
Bigbucks | jrib: appears there is no htdocs | 22:48 |
brontoeee | tronyx, yes | 22:48 |
ohsix | xomp: you probably are best served by checkint out ratbox or the ircd you want to use from source control and running it as your user | 22:48 |
iflema | joseph_: maybe 10gig for root would be enough. If you plan to use your OS and not wipe it every 5 sec yoyull prob want 20gig | 22:49 |
pupuserfac32c | I have an nvida. and an intel... never could get the duel screens to work before. | 22:49 |

ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:51 |
ChogyDan | pupuserfac32c: yeah, if you don't use the upgrade tool, it can leave the upgrade in a bad state | 22:51 |
scottnyc | verson ofpython i just installed | 22:52 |
exutux | Bigbucks: sudo chmod 755 /var/www/ && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 22:52 |
ResQue | pr0ph3t, yes it did, | 22:52 |
scottnyc | its like v- python | 22:52 |
Bigbucks | jrib: exutux: it appears it was looking for "htdocs" | 22:52 |
ChogyDan | pupuserfac32c: I would also do the task: `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^` with a ^ | 22:52 |
joseph_ | iflema: Alright, well, I'll have a look at those. Thank you very much for your help! | 22:52 |
ResQue | pr0ph3t, i am not sure what happend, i installed the driver, loged off and X wouldnt show back up. i guess it needed a restart | 22:52 |
brontoeee | exutux, that would be 403, permission denied | 22:52 |
coz_ | scottnyc, python --version | 22:52 |
tripelbaby | Hi all. I'm really a baby at this but... I'd like to write a skype driver for my webcam. It's a logitech. I'd need help. Prolly some basics. And a driver of a similar webcam. (The newer webcams all have skype drivers.) Where would I go to look and learn? | 22:52 |
xtbgod | i'm not sure of which GCC to download | 22:53 |
iflema | joseph_: tmp should be as simple as a new fstab entry.... | 22:53 |
ResQue | pr0ph3t, on other version of linux, i just run the command sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and the drivers where active. but this time i tryed that and it said something like gdm is set to an upstart job and can not be reset do u know what that means? | 22:53 |
exutux | brontoeee: 755 default permission for /var/www/ | 22:53 |

=== jsa_ is now known as Guest73684 | ||
Bigbucks | exutux: Don't ask how it happened, but somehow apache was thinking htdocs was the webroot. That doesn't seem normal for linux....windows, it does, but linux.... | 22:54 |
exutux | brontoeee: oh sure, but permissions was wrong tooy | 22:54 |
exutux | too* | 22:54 |
brontoeee | exutux, right | 22:54 |
coz_ | xtbgod, are you in synaptic pacakage manager? | 22:54 |
kevin_ | @tripelbaby you might want to look into editting v4l & v4l2 things | 22:54 |
joseph_ | iflema: I'll have to look into fstab for that. Possibly in your links. | 22:55 |
xtbgod | i'm sorry but this is my first day here | 22:55 |
coz_ | xtbgod, ok go to System/Administration/synaptic package manager | 22:55 |
exutux | Bigbucks: 777 for /var/www/ is wrong and usercure too ... | 22:55 |
Bigbucks | exutux: Any idea what the problem is? I dont know where it is getting htdocs from....and I want to be able to change the location.... | 22:56 |
xtbgod | ok, now? | 22:56 |
coz_ | xtbgod, also when addressing some one in particular,,, if you type the first 2 or 3 letters of their name then hit tab it should autocomplete their name which will alert them on their end... you may have to tab more than once | 22:56 |
exutux | Bigbucks: you said that it is a default install of apache right? | 22:56 |
coz_ | xtbgod, ok now hit the "Search" button and type in gcc | 22:56 |
iflema | joseph_: also note the file permissions tmp has, r+w+x for all user/groups | 22:56 |
jrib | Bigbucks: how did you install apache? | 22:57 |
exutux | Bigbucks: so is very strange default isnatall i think | 22:57 |
hellslinger | does anything have to be done to get emerald to start by default? | 22:57 |
Bigbucks | exutux: I looked in the error log, and during the time, it was searching for "htdocs" | 22:57 |
romistrub | I just realized that ubuntu is 50% u | 22:57 |
coz_ | xtbgod, actually after that ,, which will list the available gcc packages ,,, hit the "Reload" button then hit the "Mark all upgrades" button | 22:57 |

Bigbucks | jrib: exutux: I believe I looked off of the linux site, I installed it with the command "sudo apt-get install apache2" | 22:58 |
jrib | Bigbucks: do you have /var/www/.htaccess? | 22:58 |
Bigbucks | no, I dont | 22:58 |
coz_ | xtbgod, after the Mark all upgrades hit the "Apply" button if anything needs to be upgraded | 22:58 |
jrib | Bigbucks: sudo service apache2 stop what does your browser do then? | 22:58 |
sacarlson | Bigbucks: but didn't you also delete the default page that apache puts in for you? | 22:59 |
coz_ | xtbgod, it should also include any updates or changes to gcc | 22:59 |
tripelbaby | kevin_ ok. google gives me some links. ty | 22:59 |
xtbgod | coz_, otherwise it will show me the Mark additional required changes? | 22:59 |
Bigbucks | jrib: I am unable to connect. | 22:59 |
coz_ | xtbgod, yes if there are updates after hitting "Reload" the mark upgrades button will be activated | 22:59 |
coz_ | xtbgod, this can also be on in terminal with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 23:00 |
jrib | Bigbucks: ok, « sudo service apache2 start », pastebin /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/* | 23:00 |
exutux | Bigbucks: maybe is betetr that you pastebin your /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 23:00 |
exutux | jrib: lol | 23:00 |
sacarlson | Bigbucks: maybe you should pastebin your apache2 config file for us to see /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default or whatever you have it named | 23:00 |
exutux | another | 23:00 |
Bigbucks | uggh lol | 23:00 |

xtbgod | coz_, linux, where in the world would you get help like this.. | 23:03 |
coz_ | ugurerkan, it works ! :) | 23:03 |
joseph_ | iflema: I assume r+w+x means read/write/delete, correct? | 23:03 |
coz_ | xtbgod, right you will find you have much more power over you system with linux and of course the volunteer support here is invaluable | 23:04 |

I've tried a different (older) sound card and tested my speakers on my iPod (they work fine). Anyone have any idea what I might be able to do to get sound working? It worked fine before I reinstalled this weekend. | 23:18 |
Paddy_NI | Zaffzaff: It starts fine when I manually select it, just does not start automagically... I have already removed and added "boot" flags to the drives in all combinations | 23:18 |

Paddy_NI | ChogyDan: HDD is first | 23:18 |

Philgood | The sound card is on my ASUS mobo, REALTEK chipset NVIDIA card. its a AMD athlon 3600+ system. A bit dated. | 23:21 |

Philgood | bc81: Though I haven't checked with NVIDIA yet | 23:22 |
sacarlson | Paddy_NI: what I mean is it never gets to grub for the f11 question, I think it's still running in bios code, am I wrong? | 23:22 |
ZykoticK9_ | sprung, "killall -9 gnome-panel" perhaps | 23:22 |
brontoeee | adamruffolo, what is the server supposed to do? | 23:23 |
sprung | ZykoticK9_, answered my own question | 23:23 |
sprung | ZykoticK9_, that fixed the problem. | 23:23 |
xtbgod | coz_, it finished upgrading now what? | 23:23 |
Paddy_NI | sacarlson: Sorry sir I do not understand what you mean | 23:23 |
Paddy_NI | sacarlson: ah yes it does not get to grub unless I press f11 during post | 23:23 |
coz_ | xtbgod, well my guess is that gcc is also updated,,, what was the need to get gcc in the first place? | 23:23 |
adamruffolo | I don't think I'll get my co-workers to agree with domain server administration. They don't like it that way. But it'll mainly be a storage server and possibly, if I can twist some arms, have it be a non-internet work domain server | 23:24 |
Paddy_NI | sacarlson: then I have to choose the samsung drive labelled 3M | 23:24 |

Zaffzaff | im very new to ubuntu so if I missed something then yeah... | 23:27 |
sacarlson | Paddy_NI: I think you can disable the drive in bios | 23:27 |
coz_ | xtbgod, but if you are coding anything that will not work with that version of gcc ,,, which seems surprising...then you need to test that | 23:27 |
bc81 | Zaffzaff: what drive is it | 23:27 |
Philgood | Zaffzaff: That's not something I've ever messed with but give me a minute. I think I recall seeing something somewhere, I may be able to come up with it. | 23:27 |

bc81 | alisalaah: also, compiz config settings manager (ccsm) has some resize options (key combinations and whatnot) | 23:33 |
ohsix | nRy: they do have plug in ssd's that do work though | 23:33 |
Zaffzaff | i have the download for ubuntu 10.10 maveric selected, that's alright | 23:33 |
AndrewMC | eMac536$%^ | 23:33 |
Philgood | Okay | 23:33 |
alisalaah | bc81, thanks... bot right corner is hard too without a mouse, but i'll work with that.. i know OSX and Windows have the same thing they just use thicker borders but i like the look enough to just fight with it | 23:33 |
Black_knight | sacarlson so you think 10.04 is better? | 23:33 |
AndrewMC | oops sorry | 23:33 |
Jordan_U | alisalaah: Have you tried holding alt and using the middle mouse button to resize? | 23:33 |
nRy | ohsix: are you thinking of this one? http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-z-drive-r2-e88-pci-express-ssd.html | 23:33 |
alisalaah | trackpad.. no mouse | 23:33 |
ohsix | yep | 23:34 |
alisalaah | but i can make a hotkey for resize then use that hotkey | 23:34 |
sacarlson | Black_knight: I like lts I only upgrade when I have to so lts gives me more time | 23:34 |
nRy | this one does support Linux, but can't get one at a local store and I need a really really fast IO device asap | 23:34 |
g_0_0 | ShapeShifter499, ok try in the the terminal, it's important that you name the channel how it's named in alsamixer - case sensitive too, so take note | 23:34 |
Black_knight | sacarlson 10.10 consumes more cpu resources | 23:34 |
bc81 | alisalaah: also, right-clicking on the title bar gives you risize too | 23:34 |
Jmob | hi, installing linux on HDD with 3 partitions. One blank ext4, one NTFS with w7, one recovery partition for w7 (will set back to a University's image.) Where do I tell the installer to put the bootloader? | 23:35 |
g_ | how do i remove a repos once i've added one? | 23:35 |
Philgood | Zaffzaff: hmmm... 4GB oughta be big enough... I guess you've tried formatting the thumb drive if it gives you that option? Otherwise I'm afraid I got nothin. Sorry :( | 23:35 |
g_0_0 | ShapeShifter499, use alsamixer to mute and change volume - then amixer in terminal to set it as you want | 23:35 |
g_ | i'm getting: GPG error: http://security.debian.org lenny/updates Release: | 23:35 |
bc81 | alisalaah: alt+f8 | 23:35 |
Zaffzaff | idk how to format it properly for this | 23:35 |
sacarlson | Black_knight: it does? I'm not sure, normaly I just pull backports or ppa if I need a small part upgraded | 23:35 |
g_0_0 | ShapeShifter499, if the channel is called Speaker in alsamixer then -> amixer set Speaker unmute 80% - should work | 23:35 |
Zaffzaff | my bad lost connection | 23:36 |
alisalaah | bc81, Gracias! the hotkeys and such are a good enough solution :) | 23:36 |
lostinit | morning everyone | 23:36 |
Philgood | Zaffzaff: I think by default USB media is done in FAT32 to be universal platform. I'm pretty sure you can boot ubuntu from FAT, but I know there was one common one you can't boot from... | 23:36 |
g_0_0 | ShapeShifter499, once it works in terminal add it to rc.local | 23:36 |
NixGeek | I'm trying to encrypt a flash drive with truecrypt. I want a partition and then a hidden volume, and it's not giving me format options page | 23:37 |
Philgood | Zaffzaff: NTFS most likely is what I'm thinking of. So try keeping it FAT32 and see what it does for you | 23:37 |
alisalaah | used ubuntu for YEARS via ssh only and such so not really a nub.. but only after 10.4 and 10.10 have i liked the desktop experience enough to ditch both OS X 10.6 and Windows 7 on every computer I own | 23:37 |
Zaffzaff | yeah the guide said it had to be in fat32 but i dont know how to don that | 23:37 |
Black_knight | sacarlson : a friend of mine told me that 10.04 is based on debian testing while 10.04 on unstable debian | 23:37 |
sacarlson | Black_knight: I play with all the new stuff in virtualbox so I can see what it does, | 23:37 |
Zaffzaff | do that* | 23:37 |
ohsix | nRy: apparently it still shows the same controller http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?78957-OCZ-IBIS-Support-for-Linux-! you just need to glue them together with md | 23:37 |
gigaroc | Hello, i'm using 11.04, and when i compile so code that works on 10.10, i get a linker error undefined reference to `mysql_real_connect' undefined reference to `mysql_error' etc. it's as if the linker is not linking the library's correctly. but i'm using pkg-config --libs and mysql-config --libs. has anyone seen this problem? | 23:37 |
bc81 | alisalaah: glad to hear you joined the revolution ;-) | 23:38 |
Philgood | Zaffzaff: As it turns out I've got a crappy USB HDD plugged in right now. Let me see how far I can get without actually formatting it and help ya out. | 23:38 |
dantastic | can anyone tell me how to get to the #ubuntu-beginners channel? not sure on how to do that... | 23:38 |
sacarlson | Black_knight: I'm sure we share with debian and they from us | 23:38 |
Zaffzaff | thanks phil | 23:38 |
alisalaah | dantastic, /join #ubuntu-beginners | 23:38 |
ShapeShifter499 | g_0_0, it works in the terminal but not in rc.local | 23:38 |
dantastic | thank you! | 23:38 |
meLon | I have a large mp3 i recorded and would like to split it into smaller mp3s. Any suggestions on what to use? | 23:38 |
g_0_0 | ShapeShifter499, can you pastebin your rc.local | 23:38 |
ShapeShifter499 | g_0_0, just to make sure your talking about /etc/rc.local right? | 23:39 |
sacarlson | Black_knight: I started in debian and moved to ubuntu since it had more support and was more on the edge of newer things | 23:39 |
g_0_0 | ShapeShifter499, yep | 23:39 |
tim167 | can anyone help me compile ARToolkit? | 23:39 |
alisalaah | bc81, i'm a long time developer and such and ... people who know, ubuntu | 23:39 |
bc81 | meLon: Mp3split-gtk | 23:39 |
GeekyAdam | sup geeks | 23:39 |
nRy | ohsix: taking a look now | 23:39 |
bc81 | alisalaah: this is true :-) | 23:39 |
ohsix | nRy: the only thing that might not work is using it at the same time in windows and linux; i dont know if they use their own software read header or if they use the one usually on silicon image controllers | 23:39 |
Black_knight | sacarlson: I like debian but it's not easy for me to use it | 23:39 |
LonelyDragon757 | I am getting frustrated with my Ubuntu 10.10 installation... had issues with my 10.04. and did an apt-get dist-update. and finally got back into my desktop... but it is having issues (and 10.04 did too) with my xorg.conf file... and not sure how in the world to Fix it... and it is upsetting me... stuck at 1024x768. | 23:40 |
Philgood | Zaffzaff: Okay, it looks like just hitting erase disk comes up with a "yes or no" dialogue, but if you go to "Computer" you can choose specific formats of which FAT is an option (you'll want the non encrypted one). I don't know if that'll fix your issue though. | 23:40 |
ShapeShifter499 | g_0_0, http://pastebin.com/NWHc1tCs | 23:40 |
Philgood | Zaffzaff: It's what I'd try in your shoes. | 23:40 |
LonelyDragon757 | i had to delete the xorg.conf file to even allow startx to start. | 23:40 |
devyll | hello. Any idea how could I change the resolution in tty mode (alt f1 - f6) and also the verbose boot (no quite splash options in grub) messages screen ? | 23:40 |
Zaffzaff | ok one minute... | 23:40 |
nRy | ohsix: I would be using this in a linux server so no Windows | 23:40 |
tim167 | I'm trying to compile ARToolKit, but i get stuck at make, can anyone help? | 23:40 |
nRy | just Windows VM's | 23:40 |
nRy | but that is different | 23:40 |
Black_knight | sacarlson: thank you. | 23:40 |
Anthraxium | http://www.veronicatv.nl/web/show/id=1428450/langid=43/dbid=538/typeofpage=78964 | 23:40 |
sacarlson | LonelyDragon757: I assume you must have installed propriatary video? | 23:41 |
g_0_0 | ShapeShifter499, that should work is the channel definitely called - Speaker ?? | 23:42 |
nRy | ohsix: I do not see anywhere in that OCZ forum where it says that the IBIS will work with Linux. OCZ clearly states there that they will not support it. I talked to tech support and they said they just have not made the drivers yet | 23:42 |
Zaffzaff | cant even find the drive int he computer directory | 23:42 |
Zaffzaff | in the* | 23:42 |
ohsix | nRy: it's not about "IBIS" really, it's the controller they use, which is from silicon image and works | 23:42 |
ohsix | nRy: ask them what controller it uses | 23:43 |
Zaffzaff | isnt on my desktop either, i access it through system>admin>disk utility | 23:43 |
Zaffzaff | and it's at the bottom of the menu on the left | 23:43 |
Philgood | Zaffzaff: It should show up as removable media or something like that. Well I guess try the erase disk option, it should keep current formatting I would think. | 23:43 |
bc81 | devyll: this may be of help to you > http://www.rvdavid.net/setting-tty-virtual-consoles-resolution-with-grub-2-in-ubuntu-lucid-lynx/ | 23:44 |
Black_knight | ohsix: from ubuntu what are the hot keys to restart the x window | 23:44 |
Zaffzaff | tried erasing, did nothing. will look for removable media though | 23:44 |
tim167 | can anyone help me compile ARToolKit? i get stuck at make... | 23:44 |
induz | how can i network/workgroup Lucid with window 7 computer? | 23:44 |
aeon-ltd | !compile | tim167 | 23:44 |
ubottu | tim167: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 23:44 |
Philgood | Zaffzaff: Alright. | 23:44 |
ohsix | Black_knight: DontZap is enabled on ubuntu, so the regular key combo doesn't work | 23:44 |
induz | window 7 says it can only join the workgroup of another window 7 | 23:44 |
surreal7z | !compile | 23:45 |
devyll | bc81, thankx | 23:45 |
LonelyDragon757 | sacarlson propriatary video? i am somewhat a medium newb... what is that. i don't know if I installed anything extra | 23:45 |
ShapeShifter499 | g_0_0, yes | 23:45 |
induz | is it possible to networking Lucid | 23:45 |
Black_knight | ohsix: what can I do then? | 23:45 |
sacarlson | LonelyDragon757: then why would you even have an xorg.conf file? | 23:45 |
Zaffzaff | can't find it | 23:45 |
tim167 | aeon-ltd: i know how to compile, but i don't know how to solve "ccvt_i386.S:32:27: error: linux/linkage.h: No such file or directory" | 23:45 |
induz | do i have download something | 23:45 |
sacarlson | LonelyDragon757: what method are you using to attempt to change resolution? | 23:46 |
induz | it says Could not display "network:///" | 23:46 |
tim167 | has anyone compiled ARToolKit on ubuntu ? | 23:46 |
Zaffzaff | also somehting else to note, before this i tried to burn to a cd, and it didn't even see it in the menu at all | 23:46 |
Philgood | Zaffzaff: Well consider me tapped out then, brother. I came in looking for help and am still puzzled myself. Sorry I couldn't fix ya up. | 23:46 |
LonelyDragon757 | sacarlson. i thought I needed an xorg.conf file. (tried to change resolution with the desktop icon thingie) but doens't give me any addtional options | 23:46 |
Zaffzaff | it's alright, I'm happy ya tried | 23:46 |
induz | networking with MS 7 computer, how | 23:47 |
Philgood | Thanks for your time, folks. | 23:47 |

g_0_0 | ShapeShifter499, can you try this with another channel to make sure it isn't something peculiar to the speaker channel for example Master ? | 23:47 |
sacarlson | LonelyDragon757: did you try anything like this? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-screen-resolution-in-ubuntu.html | 23:48 |
ActionParsnip | tim167: try: dpkg -S linkage.h make sure you have the file | 23:48 |
Black_knight | sacarlson: how to restart the x window from ubuntu? | 23:48 |
ShapeShifter499 | g_0_0, it works for master in the terminal | 23:48 |

tim167 | ActionParsnip: thanks, i have the file 20 times or so | 23:49 |
g_0_0 | ShapeShifter499, does it work for Speaker in the terminal ? | 23:49 |
ShapeShifter499 | g_0_0, yes | 23:49 |
ActionParsnip | tim167: maybe: https://launchpad.net/~artoolkit-dev/+archive/ppa will help ;) | 23:49 |
sacarlson | Black_knight: maybe sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 23:49 |

ChogyDan | anyone know how to test laptop keys? ie, is there a prog to see the keycodes or something? | 23:50 |
sacarlson | Black_knight: I'm not sure what you want to do you can go to console with <ctl><alt> + f2 | 23:50 |
tim167 | ActionParsnip: really?! wow! how come i never found that! ? :) | 23:50 |

tim167 | ActionParsnip: but how do i download those ? | 23:51 |
cbf | any ndiswrapper experts here? | 23:51 |

induz | can u suggest me any website link to read about networking with windows 7 computers?? | 23:52 |
