| Nevyn1 | awww..... sounds nice, aykut. Just try, it has a kind of natural feel to it, a bit like the IPAD or Android interfaces. Plus, if you got the hardware but no money for a decent sized stick, you need to rethink your prioritys. | 00:03 |

| itaylor57 | !sound | IsmAvatar | 00:23 |
| ubottu | IsmAvatar: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 00:23 |
| konaya | IsmAvatar, what did you do immediately before the symptoms started showing? | 00:24 |
| IsmAvatar | konaya: I haven't touched this thing in a year. It's probably halfway between installing OSS or something like that. | 00:24 |
| konaya | IsmAvatar, so you haven't installed any updates lately or anything? | 00:25 |
| IsmAvatar | konaya: actually I have. I upgraded it from 9.10 to 10.04 and then to 10.10 just this week. But at the start of the week, sound wasn't working, and after the upgrades, it's no better and no worse. | 00:26 |
| konaya | IsmAvatar, what happens if you run alsamixer in a terminal? | 00:26 |
| konaya | (Also, what could be worse than "not working?"= | 00:26 |

| drewdbp | ismavatar:you have the option to reinstall 10.10 through cd | 00:28 |
| IsmAvatar | drewdbp: aware. And I'll certainly do that if nothing else works. | 00:28 |
| drewdbp | did u installed it via netinst? | 00:28 |
| IsmAvatar | I installed it originally via CD, back in the days of 8.04. I've upgraded using the standard Update Manager "Upgrade Now" button. | 00:29 |
| salman_ | hi | 00:29 |
| konaya | IsmAvatar, actually, that might be your best option all-round. There's a lot of crust lying around, and a system likes a reinstall now and again regardless of operating system. | 00:29 |
| konaya | That's why having a separate /home-partition is so convenient :) | 00:30 |
| konaya | But if you want to try fixing it without reinstalling, I'd suggest opening synaptic and reinstalling everything with the name "alsa" in it. | 00:31 |
| IsmAvatar | konaya: I could be wrong, but usually installed programs don't reside in /home. Most of the hastle of a reinstall would not be backing up data (there is virtually none), but just installing all the stuff I had again. And it seems like it's hardly worth the hastle for something as simple as the sound driver not working. | 00:31 |
| konaya | IsmAvatar, true, installed programs usually don't reside in /home. But you could get a listing of all installed packages and simply reinstall them again. Would take a quarter hour or so, but it would be mostly automated. Hm. There should be a migration mechanism for that. Wishlist item. | 00:33 |
| IsmAvatar | should I get alsa-oss? | 00:34 |

| IsmAvatar | immy: that's what I meant by 'hidden' | 00:37 |
| konaya | Anyways, 'ta! | 00:37 |
| immy | ya they don't list by default | 00:37 |

| Pici | shentino: Nothing to worry about, just some unresolved nicks due to netsplits and whatnot. | 01:08 |
| lillecarl | Chilaquiles, http://linuxatemyram.com | 01:08 |
| teddyb | how do i go about forcing software center / update manager to install / update untrusted packages? | 01:08 |
| lillecarl | jordan_, the game you downloaded | 01:08 |
| lillecarl | did you use http or apt-get/aptitude? | 01:09 |
| IsmAvatar | Can anyone help me get my sound working again? I think it's halfway between Alsa and OSS or somesuch. | 01:09 |
| jrib | teddyb: from where? A ppa? | 01:09 |
| sabboo | sabalaba, did he mean that for me? | 01:09 |
| teddyb | jrib yep | 01:09 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, Thanks, I get an error "x: user not authorized to run the x server, aborting. | 01:09 |
| jrib | teddyb: go to the PPA's website and add the key | 01:09 |
| IsmAvatar | Docfxit: sudo | 01:09 |
| jordan_ | lillecarl, i downloaded it straight from the urban terror site | 01:09 |
| jordan_ | ohhhh | 01:09 |
| teddyb | k thanks jrib | 01:09 |
| jordan_ | um | 01:10 |
| Chilaquiles | lillecarl: the problem is that sometimes I can't hybernate my laptop because it says that there's not enough memory | 01:10 |
| lillecarl | Docfxit, log in with root instead on f2 if you wanna start the xserver then :) | 01:10 |
| jordan_ | http | 01:10 |
| Chilaquiles | the problem is that sometimes I can't hybernate my laptop because it says that there's not enough memory | 01:10 |
| Chilaquiles | And I have 1.5G in memory!! | 01:10 |
| rmd_ | Soo..... dd if=desktop.iso of=/dev/sdb results in a usb stick that isn't bootable... | 01:10 |
| lillecarl | Chilaquiles how much swap space do you have? | 01:10 |
| rmd_ | How can I make it bootable? | 01:10 |
| buttking | jordan_: as far as I know, the UT download arleady has a built binary, all you have to do is run it | 01:10 |
| Docfxit | nit-wit, The thumb is 16gb. It has 4gb persistant partition. | 01:10 |
| jordan_ | buttking, k, lemme check | 01:10 |
| IShadowed | hi | 01:10 |
| buttking | did it come as a package, like a rar that you had to extract? | 01:11 |
| Chilaquiles | lillecarl: 1.5G in SWAP | 01:11 |
| jordan_ | buttking, dumb question here, where or what is the binary | 01:11 |
| lillecarl | you should have the double of what your ram is, well whatever | 01:11 |
| IShadowed | the network list isn't appearing in the above toolbar as another user is signed in too on this computer, and they have it. How can I run it on mine, now? Because having to switch back and forth just to reset a connection is really annoying | 01:11 |
| lillecarl | run the command free -m and tell me what it said in a private | 01:12 |
| buttking | the binary will have a filename like ioUrbanTerror.i386 or ioUrbanTerror.x86_64 | 01:12 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, It said Server is already active for display 0 | 01:12 |
| teddyb | jrib, i think this is it http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xD6B6DB186A68F637 ? what extension do i save it as? | 01:12 |
| olimones | I am usuing ubuntu server. I want to install Asterisk GUI on it. Does anyone know how to solve an interfece cycling problem? | 01:12 |
| jordan_ | buttking, Could not display "/home/jordan/Downloads/UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTerror.i386". | 01:12 |
| jordan_ | thats what i get when i double click it | 01:12 |
| jrib | teddyb: no, just read the instructions on the ppa page for adding the key, you are doing too much work | 01:12 |
| lillecarl | Docfxit, hmm i dont rember the command for closing a x session but..... | 01:12 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, I goes on to say | 01:13 |
| buttking | first, you'll need to change the permissions on the file. I'd open up a terminal and go to the UT folder | 01:13 |
| Chilaquiles | lillecarl: why the heck I can't hybernate my computer because it says there's not enough memory! and I have 1.5G in swap | 01:13 |
| buttking | and type "chmod +x ioUrbanTerror.i386" | 01:13 |
| afat | heyyy heellppp geeks!!!i am trying to install my ubuntu 10.10 from my usb in shellf..what is the command that i need to use to it to start installing? | 01:13 |
| jordan_ | buttking, u mean the q3ut4 folder | 01:13 |
| afat | helppp | 01:13 |
| jordan_ | thats one of the two folders that came in the dl | 01:13 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, "If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.x0-lock and start again. | 01:13 |
| jrib | !install | afat | 01:13 |
| ubottu | afat: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 01:13 |
| lillecarl | Chilaquiles, prolyl because you got alot loaded in memory and swap, and when you hibernate i think everyting in your ram is saved in swap | 01:14 |
| buttking | where ever ioUrbanTerror.i386 is located | 01:14 |
| lillecarl | Docfxit, well thats gay, gimme a sec | 01:14 |
| josheee12 | hey guys. i have an ATI card and i'm on 10.10 (x64). i'm trying to enable the Extra effects in appearnce, but i can only enable None. i get the error that "Compositioning is not available" or something of the likes. | 01:14 |
| lillecarl | you wanted to get into a gui again right or how was it xD? | 01:14 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, How can I tell if it's running? | 01:14 |
| Chilaquiles | lillecarl: so how can I hybernate then? | 01:14 |
| zruty | Can I check/repair NTFS filesystems in linux? | 01:14 |
| DrManhattan | josheee12, gotta install yourself some proprietary ATI drivers | 01:14 |
| lillecarl | Chilaquiles, you could try to increase your swap using gparted | 01:14 |
| lillecarl | sudo gparted | 01:15 |
| Chilaquiles | lillecarl: but I thought you guys say that 1.5 is fine | 01:15 |
| josheee12 | DrManhattan: they are indeed installed. only happening after they are, no less | 01:15 |
| lillecarl | well i recommend 50% more then your ram is :P | 01:15 |
| DrManhattan | strange | 01:15 |
| jordan_ | buttking, k i cd'ed to the urbanterror folder | 01:15 |
| jordan_ | buttking, then what | 01:15 |
| mickster04 | !who | lillecarl | 01:15 |
| ubottu | lillecarl: 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 :) | 01:15 |
| Chilaquiles | lillecarl: are you sure that's gonna solve the problem? | 01:15 |
| buttking | k, type "chmod +x ioUrbanTerror.i386" | 01:15 |
| jordan_ | k | 01:16 |
| buttking | then, type "./ioUrbanTerror.i386" | 01:16 |
| jordan_ | did | 01:16 |
| buttking | and it should run | 01:16 |
| jordan_ | k, one sec | 01:16 |
| josheee12 | DrManhattan: I NEED MAH COMPIZ CUBE! | 01:16 |
| lillecarl | sry ubottu | 01:16 |
| lillecarl | oh | 01:16 |
| lillecarl | its a bot xD | 01:16 |
| lillecarl | Chilaquiles, its worth a try atleast or are you low on disk space? | 01:17 |
| mickster04 | josheee12: have you restarted since installing them, and have you looked at the options available in the ati config? | 01:17 |
| lillecarl | Chilaquiles, try this to | 01:17 |
| teddyb | jrib so like sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jd-team/jdownloader ? if thats right im gonna have to do it at home, college proxy seems to be blocking it | 01:17 |
| Chilaquiles | it seems like ubuntu is not very good handling hibernation or suspention very well yert | 01:17 |
| jordan_ | k, it ran | 01:17 |
| jordan_ | cool thnx | 01:17 |
| josheee12 | restarted at least 10 times total. and i coldn't find anything related. | 01:17 |
| buttking | no problem | 01:17 |
| jordan_ | next time though, how can i run it outside of the terminal | 01:17 |
| lillecarl | Chilaquiles, run "top" in a commandline and see wich apps take most memory | 01:18 |
| jrib | teddyb: sure, that will add a ppa and add the key. But if you already have the ppa added to your sources.list, you only need to add the key | 01:18 |
| lillecarl | then "killall APPNAME" | 01:18 |
| Chilaquiles | Xorg | 01:18 |
| buttking | I'm not positive, that's just how I always ran it | 01:18 |
| teddyb | oh cool, thanks jrib | 01:18 |
| jordan_ | oh via the terminal | 01:18 |
| jordan_ | from the looks of it, no one plays it, the servers were empty | 01:18 |
| buttking | I generally keep a terminal open, so it was never a problem to type "cd ~/UrbanTerror && ./ioUrbanTerror.i386" | 01:19 |
| jordan_ | either that or i didnt sync up well with the servers | 01:19 |
| Chilaquiles | lillecarl: but as I said before, sometimes Im not running many programs (like 2) and it says that I don't have enough memory!! | 01:19 |
| mickster04 | josheee12: try running "monitors" in admin or preferences (whichever it is) and if there is a special ati tool it will say... | 01:19 |
| lillecarl | Chilaquiles, then you got stuff that should be in the swap in the memory | 01:19 |
| jordan_ | buttking, u have any thoughts on a good looking sys mon'ing widget | 01:20 |
| Chilaquiles | lillecarl: ok so how you clear that? | 01:20 |
| jordan_ | like i wanna mon north bridge temps | 01:20 |
| jordan_ | cpu usage | 01:20 |
| buttking | check out gkrellm | 01:20 |
| lillecarl | Chilaquiles, please talk in a private, easier | 01:20 |
| jordan_ | all on a clean widget | 01:20 |

| bastidraZor | jordan_: conky does well with some tweaking.. cairo-dock can put some widgets up too | 01:21 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, Why do I need to run startx. I booted up to my desktop. Can't I just continue the updates that I started before? | 01:21 |
| alisalaah | i cant get my 2 usb to dvi adapters working in Ubuntu is there anyone who could help? | 01:21 |

| === charles is now known as Guest70683 | ||
| jordan_ | also , is there a way to verify my usb 3.0 ports are working correctly to the usb 3 speeds | 01:22 |
| jordan_ | my thumb drive comes up but i was curious if its being picked up at usb 3 or 3 speeds | 01:22 |
| olimones | So, no one knows about asterisk-GUI? | 01:23 |
| kamalmv | i have a wireless modem with a pc os-ubuntu.....how can i connect a lan through wireless to a laptop with windows 7?????? | 01:23 |
| jordan_ | Oli``, nope | 01:23 |
| mickster04 | !asterisk | 01:23 |
| mickster04 | olimones: clearly not | 01:23 |
| tyler_d | trying to reset cheese webcam settings ---> problem is that its stuck in black and white mode | 01:23 |
| josheee12 | DrManhattan: apparently it's related to my usage of Xinerama. any ideas of an alternative? i guess i could save up for an Eyefinity-compatible card | 01:23 |
| buttking | the easiest way to check would probably just be to transfer a file to a thumb drive and watch the speed | 01:23 |
| olimones | why clearly not? it runs on Ubuntu? | 01:23 |
| jordan_ | anybody here have usb 3.0 running correctly | 01:23 |
| mickster04 | tyler_d: how did you put it into black and white mode? | 01:24 |
| mickster04 | olimones: your question wasn't that, it was whether anyone knew anything about it, seeing as they haven't responded to your question,its fair to say, that atm, no-one here knows how to solve your problem? | 01:24 |
| lillecarl | Docfxit, never mind i misunderstood you :/ | 01:25 |
| mickster04 | jordan_: get a file on it of a certain size, then copy off to it using your 3.0 ports and your 2.0 ports and see if there is any difference in speed | 01:25 |
| Chilaquiles | damn | 01:25 |
| mickster04 | jordan_: make it a big file | 01:25 |
| Chilaquiles | ubuntu really sucks | 01:25 |
| buttking | nah | 01:25 |
| buttking | it's pretty rad | 01:26 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, np | 01:26 |
| lillecarl | :) | 01:26 |
| Chilaquiles | it frozes my computer, and I didn't have that problem | 01:26 |
| jordan_ | Mickster, good point | 01:26 |
| syrinx | chilaquiles be trollin | 01:26 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, Should I continue trying to run the update? | 01:26 |
| mickster04 | jordan_: yeah, also do you need special 3.0 compatible usb thumb drives for the extra speed? i dunno but 3.0 is backward compatible so wouldn't complain | 01:26 |
| Skeeter- | psusi: u still there? | 01:27 |
| lillecarl | Docfxit, did you use the update manager and you shut the pc down or what? | 01:27 |
| Chilaquiles | why do you say im trolling? | 01:27 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, Yes | 01:27 |
| Chilaquiles | syrinx: because I say that ubuntu sux? | 01:27 |
| jordan_ | yeh i got a 32gb thumbdrive | 01:28 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, I was using the Update Manager, It froze and then I did a hard shutdown. | 01:28 |
| mickster04 | jordan_: according to some research i did (my friend) you can get specific usb3 thumb drives | 01:28 |
| jordan_ | and it does go backwards compat. which is what made me wonder which spd it was running at on my ubuntu | 01:28 |
| Skeeter- | Could anyone help me to install grub on a LVM, i just installed ubuntu. During the installation, it was unable to install grub propely. Now i need to install it myself and i cant figure out how to make it happen | 01:28 |
| lillecarl | Docfxit, hmm gimme a sec ill google a bit :) | 01:29 |
| jordan_ | mickster04, , what do u mean by specific | 01:29 |
| mickster04 | jordan_: as in there are usb thuimb drives that can only go as fast as 2.0 anyway so the 3.0 port won't help much | 01:29 |
| jordan_ | mickster04, like usb 3 only or usb 3,2,1 friendly | 01:29 |
| Docfxit | lillecarl, Thank you for helping. | 01:29 |
| jordan_ | ah, yeah the one i got is an ADATA N005 | 01:29 |
| bc81 | tyler_d: you could try gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/cheese | 01:29 |
| jordan_ | usb 3.0 thumb drive | 01:30 |
| lillecarl | Docfxit, try apt-get install --fix-broken | 01:30 |
| jordan_ | plus i have an external 3.0 case | 01:30 |
| lillecarl | sudo * | 01:30 |
| lillecarl | then update | 01:30 |
| mickster04 | jordan_: like the thumb drive will have to be made with the 3.0 spec, else your port can't use the faster speeds and will go at 2.0 speeds | 01:30 |
| JeffCBR | I'm bored... what should I play with? | 01:30 |
| === spark_ is now known as GothSpark | ||
| jordan_ | yeh, it is, it ran at 3.0 spds on xp and win7 | 01:31 |

| jordan_ | mickster04, heres another dumb question , in windows i normally go to "my computer" to view my drives like usb drives, where do i go in ubuntu | 01:32 |
| tyler_d | bc81: no joy.... still like the saturation is all borked... would really like to know where the config file is for cheese so I could just blow it away | 01:32 |
| jordan_ | found it | 01:33 |
| bc81 | tyler_d: you ran that command when cheese was closed? that's where all the config info is located as far as i can tell | 01:33 |
| lillecarl | Docfxit, then update manager again ;) | 01:33 |
| jordan_ | i put the usb drive in the wrong pc, i popped it in my server by accident then i loked over and put it in my htpc | 01:33 |
| jigynet | how do i make a .exe executable in xubuntu? | 01:33 |

| tyler_d | bc81: yup yup... I found .gconf/apps/cheese/%gconf.xml as well... but no reference to contrast or such | 01:34 |
| bc81 | jigynet: you can chmod +x <file> | 01:34 |
| jigynet | i've got wine, i told it to use it... | 01:34 |
| jordan_ | jigynet, im having a lil trouble getting the wine installed though so dont take my word for it | 01:34 |
| jigynet | ohh | 01:34 |

| GothSpark | edit I am using a laptop from Asus | 01:36 |

| jigynet | yea, but if the file has caps and directories..so u gotta type it exactly, very annoying | 01:48 |
| JeffCBR | !enter > JeffCBR | 01:48 |
| ubottu | JeffCBR, please see my private message | 01:48 |
| jigynet | and chmodding can be bad.. depnding on te commnd or actions given | 01:49 |
| itaylor57 | jigynet: you can use tab completion for that | 01:49 |
| jason_ | guys, i downloaded icons for libreoffice. but i don't want to change global icon theme, i only want to replace current libreoffice icons with new ones. which folder do i go to? | 01:49 |
| Madpilot | jigynet, you know about tab-complete to help with file/directory name completion, right? | 01:49 |
| jigynet | oh yea forgot | 01:49 |
| JeffCBR | auro1: You did this as root? | 01:49 |
| auro1 | JeffCBR: yep... <.< | 01:49 |
| JeffCBR | How old is your installation? | 01:49 |
| auro1 | JeffCBR: sudo chmod 777 / -v -R | 01:49 |
| auro1 | i just finished setting it up | 01:49 |
| auro1 | <.< | 01:50 |
| auro1 | (shit. sorry. did the enter-thing again) | 01:50 |
| Madpilot | jigynet, /long/complex/~directory/SillyCamelCaseFileName.complex could be as simple as four characters and four TAB key presses :) | 01:50 |
| robot682 | I am getting the following error "error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6:" when I try to run a .bin installer. Can anyone please advise me as to how to fix this? | 01:50 |
| jigynet | xD | 01:50 |
| JeffCBR | Well, I don't know of a way to reset your files to their proper permissions... I'd suggest starting over. | 01:50 |
| auro1 | fuk. | 01:50 |
| === skidawg is now known as SkiDawg | ||
| Madpilot | auro1, if it's a brand-new install, nuke it and start over. Simplest "fix". | 01:50 |
| auro1 | its not really "brand new" | 01:50 |
| JeffCBR | I'm no expert, though. There may be a way. | 01:50 |
| auro1 | but pretty new | 01:50 |
| auro1 | like a month or something | 01:51 |
| jigynet | issue the commands again or their other switchs.. | 01:51 |
| itaylor57 | robot682: what bin file were you running | 01:51 |
| JeffCBR | But, yeah, if your install is pretty new, that's probably your best bet. | 01:51 |
| auro1 | Is it dangerous if I ignore it? | 01:51 |
| Madpilot | auro1, seriously, mind the Enter key. This channel is too busy to have one sentence take up six lines. | 01:51 |
| bc81 | jason usually /usr/share/icons is a good place to start (can't give you the exact dir, as i don't have it installed) | 01:51 |
| auro1 | Madpilot: Real sorry. Thanks for pointing it out. | 01:51 |
| bc81 | jason_: see above | 01:51 |
| jordan_ | anybody setup Wine successfully | 01:51 |
| jigynet | auro i think u made those files unrestrcited or removed root status? | 01:52 |
| JeffCBR | auro1: There are files that are read-only to root for a reason. | 01:52 |
| jason_ | does anybody know the folder where libreoffice icons are located? | 01:52 |
| Madpilot | auro1, depending on what exactly you chmodded to 777 in /, stuff could well randomly stop working... | 01:52 |
| jason_ | bc81, above? | 01:52 |
| jigynet | yea | 01:52 |
| shmup | got a question on swap. i know it's recommended in ubuntu's wiki to create swap = to the amount of physicam memory. | 01:52 |
| === Logan_ is now known as Logan_WP | ||
| shmup | if i have 8GB, is this really practical? | 01:52 |
| auro1 | Madpilot: JeffCBR: i think it only got somewhee in /var/ | 01:52 |
| bc81 | jason_: "usually /usr/share/icons is a good place to start (can't give you the exact dir, as i don't have it installed)" | 01:52 |
| jigynet | yes shmup | 01:53 |
| jason_ | bc81, ah. thk u -) | 01:53 |
| gaelfx | if I install the latest smplayer by hand, will I have to uninstall it if I want to add a ppa later when it's available? | 01:53 |
| shmup | jigynet: can you explain why? not asking for paragraphs of reasons just.. | 01:53 |
| auro1 | i killed it as soon as i realised something was wrong. I guess i should really take a backup and nuke it tomorrow... | 01:53 |
| shmup | jigynet: i don't really understand. if i have 4GB of physical memory and 4GB of swap, and that's enough. i'd assume if i have 8GB of memory, 4GB of swap would be enough, too. | 01:53 |
| rmd_ | ok.. so, can I get a little help writing this ubuntu image to a usb drive? I've tried dd. I've tried the instructions on the wiki.. and I keep running into problems. Last time it finally booted from the usb, but the screen was blank. | 01:53 |
| jigynet | shmup, if u mutli task u could easily use all 8gb of physical raam | 01:53 |
| Madpilot | auro1, backups are a good idea regardless. Which reminds me, I should burn some new backup DVDs. Months of unbacked-up photos and graphics... | 01:54 |
| shmup | jigynet: why not make 20GB of swap then? i mean.. | 01:54 |
| JeffCBR | shmup: If you haev 8GB of memory, what are you using a swap for? | 01:54 |
| auro1 | Madpilot: Damn thats not good :D | 01:54 |
| shmup | JeffCBR: i didn't think i'd even need to, that's kind of why i'm here.. | 01:54 |
| jigynet | plus swap can be used when ram can not be addressed | 01:54 |
| shmup | JeffCBR: i was just reading a dual boot guide, to make sure i did it right. never dual booted win/ubuntu. | 01:54 |
| itaylor57 | shmup: it would only matter if you hibernate | 01:54 |
| xangua | there is already a smplayer ppa i believe gaelfx | 01:55 |
| Droas | Halp... I need an edit undo for rm /media/partitionName/* ._. | 01:55 |
| bc81 | 2 GiB of swap should be fine for most uses | 01:55 |
| gaelfx | xangua: not for maverick, unless you found one that I didn't | 01:55 |
| jigynet | shmup, right, if u have the hd space, and plan to be cpu intense, media/games.. doubling the swap can gain speed etc | 01:55 |
| jordan_ | in my Applications > system tools i have a q4wine.......when i run it i have to configure it (just installed it a minute ago) anybody know how to set it up????????? | 01:55 |
| jigynet | so far nothing has been negative for extreamly large swaps | 01:56 |
| gaelfx | xangua: rvm only supports lucid or earlier, same with nvidia vdpau team | 01:56 |
| jigynet | unless its a laptop | 01:56 |
| shmup | jigynet: ah all right. well, i don't plan on gaming much at all. 8GB is actually an overkill, but it was $70 so i thought why not. | 01:56 |
| shmup | jigynet: it is a laptop | 01:56 |
| JeffCBR | It's crazy overkill... | 01:56 |
| shmup | jigynet: this is mainly for coding | 01:56 |
| JeffCBR | IMO. | 01:56 |
| shmup | yeah, but nothing wrong with it right? | 01:56 |
| jigynet | ah | 01:56 |
| JeffCBR | Well, I've never heard of someone having too much ram. ;) | 01:57 |
| JeffCBR | I have 512 MB. :D | 01:57 |
| joejc18 | if i put a symlink to my Music folder in ubunty one folder will it share my music folder? | 01:57 |
| shmup | rofl yeah, i thought you were gonna introduce me to some crazy theory | 01:57 |
| shmup | that i've never heard of | 01:57 |
| jigynet | keep the swap 4gb-8gb, using the hd excessivly on a laptop can heat things up alot | 01:57 |
| shmup | i'm gonna set up 2GB of swap. if i'm using over 10GB of memory on this, that is just insane and.. | 01:57 |
| shmup | k 4GB then ;p | 01:57 |
| mickster04 | what if you have 16GB RAM? | 01:57 |
| shmup | i'm gonna swap this hdd out anyways when intel comes out with the new ssd's this year! | 01:57 |
| jordan_ | i got 128GB ram | 01:58 |
| shmup | rofl | 01:58 |
| jordan_ | lol :D | 01:58 |
| joejc18 | imo swap is useless if you have good ram | 01:58 |
| jigynet | how did you use 10 gigs? | 01:58 |
| jordan_ | naw just 4 gb | 01:58 |
| mickster04 | jordan_: you...really can't :O | 01:58 |
| JeffCBR | shmup: Personally, I'd try things without a swap. Watson doesn't have a swap. :D | 01:58 |
| ^Mike | Hi, I'm getting the following error when attempting to apt-get upgrade. "E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?" How can I fix this? | 01:58 |
| gaelfx | shmup: it sounds like you have a lot of money. do you need an assistant? | 01:58 |
| mickster04 | ^Mike: sudo that command | 01:58 |
| JeffCBR | Ram is cheap. | 01:58 |
| auro1 | im using a whopping 4 kb of swap space with 4gb ram | 01:58 |
| jigynet | swap is always useful | 01:58 |
| mickster04 | ^Mike: sudo apt-get update | 01:58 |
| jordan_ | in my Applications > system tools i have a q4wine.......when i run it i have to configure it (just installed it a minute ago) anybody know how to set it up????????? | 01:58 |
| JeffCBR | I remember when ram cost $1 per megabyte. | 01:59 |
| jordan_ | JeffCBR, ouch 4 gb then would be $4000 + | 01:59 |
| JeffCBR | So, your ram should have cost you around 4 grand. | 01:59 |
| Madpilot | JeffCBR, likewise. Also, kids should get off our respective lawns, right? | 01:59 |
| jigynet | lol i seen ddr @ $180 for 1 gig... | 01:59 |
| JeffCBR | Madpilot: Right?! | 01:59 |
| JeffCBR | Damn kids and their cheap ram. | 02:00 |
| shmup | a friend tells me if i plan on hibernating just go with 8GB | 02:00 |
| JeffCBR | I told a kid to get off my lawn and he threw a 2 gig dimm at me. | 02:00 |
| shmup | but i've never been into hibernating laptops | 02:00 |
| gaelfx | shmup: pretty sure that if you hibernate, you still need swap | 02:00 |
| Nitrohax | jeff, but cheap ram and then you put those cheap sticky heat sinks on them makes them look cool | 02:00 |
| KB1JWQ | !ot | 02:00 |
| ubottu | #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! | 02:00 |
| jordan_ | anybody good with setting up q4wine | 02:00 |
| jigynet | when it turns off w2hen u walk away thats sleep/hibernate | 02:00 |
| KB1JWQ | !anybody | jordan_ | 02:01 |
| ubottu | jordan_: 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. | 02:01 |
| gaelfx | shmup: the whole point is that when you hibernate, it powers down things like RAM | 02:01 |
| JeffCBR | Nitrohax: My two machines are about 5 years and 10 years behind the hardware curve respectively. | 02:01 |
| eoss | Hello, I just switched from win7 to ubuntu on my main computer, I am getting choppy play back on flash videos ...not in fullscreen but when its NOT in fullscreen | 02:01 |
| jordan_ | lol, that seemed rather useless | 02:01 |
| eoss | its freezing the rest of my computer and very choppy | 02:01 |
| jordan_ | i aske dmy question pretty clearly i thought | 02:01 |
| GothSpark | ook any one knows about the black screen issue after installing Nvidia drivers on laptops I have that issue but have seen no answer any where | 02:01 |
| syrinx | eoss: installed all the codecs? | 02:01 |
| Nitrohax | JeffCBR, I just upgraded from a 6 year old computer. still not seeing much difference in the speed and stuff | 02:01 |
| jigynet | when a pc hibernates it uses ram and swap and hd | 02:01 |
| jigynet | mostly ram | 02:01 |
| shmup | gaelfx: thats what i thought i said, or meant to | 02:01 |
| shmup | gaelfx: if you hibernate you DO need swap | 02:02 |
| shmup | and he recommended 8GB of it | 02:02 |
| shmup | for my setup | 02:02 |
| Nitrohax | openoffice site is down that's really upsetting | 02:02 |
| gaelfx | jordan_ the point is that you need to tell us what you're actually having troubles with when installing wine, not just asking for "anyone" who can setup wine | 02:02 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, tell shmup about enter | 02:02 |
| ubottu | shmup, please see my private message | 02:02 |
| mjn | GothSpark, you mean a black border around the screen? | 02:02 |
| hack-1 | anyone know if I can load firefox through wine to watch my netflix account? they say I need a windows system or mac | 02:02 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: maybe for oracle, but not for me | 02:02 |
| jigynet | yea if u have 8gb of software open you'll need that to store that data | 02:02 |
| JeffCBR | Nitrohax: Yeah... if I played more video games, I'd probably be pressed to upgrade. I saw a video card at the shop the other day that I think could house a small family. | 02:02 |
| jordan_ | well i am having trouble right off the start from the first config pg | 02:02 |
| eoss | syrinx, i dont think so how i install all of them? | 02:03 |
| mjn | hack-1, you need to install a virtual machine | 02:03 |
| Nitrohax | JeffCBR, LOL. I found a 1gig 9400 gt card for $40. works for me | 02:03 |
| auro1 | Can anyone recommend a good backup program for ubuntu that can do "incremental" and full backups ? | 02:03 |
| hack-1 | ok thank you | 02:03 |
| jigynet | hack-1, they waNT u in windows.. | 02:03 |
| jordan_ | if noone was familiar i didnt want to waste anybodys time with where i was stuck at if it wouldnt make any sense to them | 02:03 |
| gaelfx | jordan_ what specific trouble are you having with the config page? | 02:03 |
| JeffCBR | Nitrohax: If I told you the cards in my machines, you'd laugh. | 02:03 |
| hack-1 | yes windows or mac | 02:03 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, i tried goign to the site the last couple days. no connections for it | 02:03 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, tell auro1 about backup | 02:03 |
| ubottu | auro1, please see my private message | 02:03 |
| jordan_ | ummm, it ask for stuff that i dont know about, like a wine libs | 02:04 |
| hack-1 | I am a noob but love learning | 02:04 |
| jigynet | virtual machine is wine? | 02:04 |
| jordan_ | i am new to linux as of 2-3 days ago so im not familiar with a lot fo the terminalogy | 02:04 |
| Nitrohax | JeffCBR, if you aren't using high end graphics then you don't really need them. I got them just to take the load off the MoBi | 02:04 |
| Nitrohax | MoBo even | 02:04 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: well, I just loaded it and I'm in China. Are you living in a horribly oppressive country at the moment? | 02:04 |
| bc81 | jigynet: they are 2 different things | 02:04 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, no, where did you d/l it from | 02:04 |
| mjn | jigynet, wine is a windows emulator...virtual machine runs the entire os | 02:05 |
| bc81 | !info virtualbox | 02:05 |
| ubottu | Package virtualbox does not exist in maverick | 02:05 |
| auro1 | i don't really want system backup. I want to be able to do backups of specific folders at specified intervals. For example, do incremental backup every day and full backup every week. Then put the backups into my dropbox folder for an example | 02:05 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, haven't been riots in detroit for a couple decades but that can all change son | 02:05 |
| JeffCBR | I access this machine exclusively through ssh. The video card (GeForce MX4000 64MB) is in there just so it'll boot. | 02:05 |
| jigynet | nitro have u tried isitdownforme .com? | 02:05 |
| jigynet | isitdownorjustme | 02:05 |
| mjn | virtual is still avail on the oracle site | 02:05 |
| hack-1 | can I install firefox in wine? | 02:05 |
| Nitrohax | jigynet, not yet. oen sec | 02:05 |
| GothSpark | mjn I mean that I end up to the consol screen o gui are loaded cause X can't detect a screen to display | 02:05 |
| Nitrohax | JeffCBR, if it works it works | 02:05 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: I didn't try downloading it, sorry. I thought you meant the website | 02:06 |
| mjn | GothSpark, unfortunately, i don't think i can help you with that | 02:06 |
| bc81 | hack-1: iff you already have wine installed, just download the firefox.exe installer and run it | 02:06 |
| JeffCBR | I'd put a stick of gum in there, if it would boot. | 02:06 |
| hack-1 | thank you @bc81 | 02:06 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, I can get to the oracle site, but //openoffice.org site doesn't seem to want to load. | 02:06 |
| mickster04 | hack-1: yes but why? | 02:07 |
| jigynet | that will by pass netflix requireing windows? | 02:07 |
| punkmexic | is there a monitor app for ubuntu that allows me to set my monitor to 1024 resolution (without seeing black stuff) 16:10 | 02:07 |
| bc81 | hack-1: but you should probably just use virtualbox for the netflix (no guarantee ff in wine will work) | 02:07 |
| mkquist | !wine | 02:07 |
| jordan_ | k, the first start up window when i click q4wine ask for 4 things, 3 of which are already filled in, the fourth is a wine libs : which i dont know what they want me to put there | 02:07 |
| 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 | 02:07 |
| GothSpark | mjn I think it is the drivers for mobile card but ... i'm not sure a friend of mine got the same exact problem with an update on mint | 02:07 |
| hack-1 | I'm gonna try it , then the VBox if it does'nt work | 02:07 |
| * Capt_Blackwood is away: I'm happily doing something. So if you could please sod off. | 02:08 | |
| shmup | gimme your opinion on root now, please. i'm thinking 10-15GB. | 02:08 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: ok, I can download it. did you try different mirrors? | 02:08 |
| mjn | hack-1, ff in wine, still won't let you view netflix... | 02:08 |
| gaelfx | !away > Capt_Blackwood | 02:08 |
| ubottu | Capt_Blackwood, please see my private message | 02:08 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, it won't even let me get into the site to download it. i'm looking for alternate ways | 02:08 |
| mjn | still picks up a non windows/mac operating system.. | 02:08 |
| punkmexic | is there a monitor app for ubuntu that allows me to set my monitor to 1024 resolution (without seeing black stuff) 16:10 i can only do that with 1200 resolution but i cant with 800 or 1024 | 02:08 |
| JeffCBR | If anyone is envious of my graphics processing capability, my card is available on eBay for $10. :D | 02:08 |
| jordan_ | gaelfx, k, the first start up window when i click q4wine ask for 4 things, 3 of which are already filled in, the fourth is a wine libs : which i dont know what they want me to put there | 02:08 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: wow, maybe DF took over your ISP? | 02:08 |
| Nitrohax | this is what I get Access control configuration prevents your request from being allowed at this time. Please contact your service provider if you feel this is incorrect. | 02:09 |
| Jayro | Hi, how would I change the color of my panels (top and bottom of the screen) without changing anything else? | 02:09 |
| bc81 | shmup: how much total HDD space do you have | 02:09 |
| mickster04 | hack-1: mjn why doesn't netflix work in ubuntu??? | 02:09 |
| gaelfx | jordan_ how did you install wine? | 02:09 |
| jigynet | lol, i've had issues with openoffice.org in the past as well..dunno waht fixed it..was having ddos and dns hijacks at the time..i reset my router and cleared cache | 02:09 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, I know comcast is the anti christ but i don't think they were getting into the software side of things yet | 02:09 |
| jordan_ | gaelfx, via the software center | 02:09 |
| aeon-ltd | Jayro: right click has some options | 02:09 |
| Jayro | mickster: netflix need microsofts silver light to run | 02:09 |
| Jayro | thanks | 02:09 |
| mjn | openoffice is accessible to me.. | 02:10 |
| gaelfx | jordan_ and what are you trying to do with it? | 02:10 |
| mickster04 | Jayro: thanks, how far is moonlight coming? | 02:10 |
| Nitrohax | moonlight doesn't work with netflix. | 02:10 |
| mickster04 | Nitrohax: also thanks | 02:10 |
| hack-1 | I don't know it just sends me to a page telling me my OS is not supported and gives a list of OS's @mixter84 | 02:10 |
| jigynet | comcast is one of many isp's who are 80% of their network is owned by a security corp | 02:10 |
| jordan_ | originally a while ago i was trying to run an exe from the urbanterror game which i alraedy got help with running a different way a while ago | 02:10 |
| Jayro | mickster: moonlight does not have the DRM stack needed for netflix | 02:10 |
| jordan_ | but i already installed the wine | 02:10 |
| Nitrohax | it's some stupid license thing between the movie and tv people. they are afraid they will copy and stuff. The hated hollywood people | 02:10 |
| mjn | mickster04, can't say that i know, just know that the only way i've gotten it to work is through VM | 02:10 |

| bc81 | shmup: go with 20 if you can spare it..room to grow is always good :) | 02:12 |
| mickster04 | Jayro: very | 02:12 |
| jigynet | verizon charges $20 more for all their services =c | 02:12 |
| shmup | bc81: sounds good then. i can definitely spare it. :P | 02:12 |
| mickster04 | mjn: that's not cool :( | 02:12 |
| Jayro | mickster04, thats soooo convinient. I cant belive i didnt know that before | 02:12 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, same thing. i got it to load with ubuntu but windows isn't doing anything | 02:12 |
| jigynet | and its not better..using them for about 4 mos now | 02:12 |
| mickster04 | Jayro: tsk :D | 02:12 |
| Nitrohax | and i'm trying to do this stupid windows BS machine for a friend. I hate windows | 02:13 |
| mjn | mickster04, er, seriously...how so, in order to avoid in the future? | 02:13 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: well, that site says they are in "read-only mode" for a few days, whatever that means | 02:13 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: why not use LibreOffice? | 02:13 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, I think it might mean windows is on the way out. I hope. LOL | 02:13 |
| mickster04 | MSHughes: what are you talking about? i was talking about netflix? | 02:13 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: haha, dare to dream | 02:13 |
| mickster04 | mjn: what are you talking about? i was talking about netflix? | 02:14 |
| jigynet | was thinking about fios, but customer service and costs not staying what they should be, and not being accurate is making me think twwice. | 02:14 |
| mickster04 | MSHughes: sorry wrong nick | 02:14 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, the windows theme should be dare to be stupid | 02:14 |
| jigynet | yea i hope windows is out too | 02:14 |
| gaelfx | jordan_ you don't run wine, you install windows programs with it and then run them | 02:14 |
| mjn | mickster04, oh sorry, i thought you were referring to the comcast opine | 02:14 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: a la Weird Al? | 02:14 |
| jigynet | lol | 02:14 |
| jigynet | gael.. | 02:14 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, that's right | 02:15 |
| gaelfx | nice | 02:15 |
| jigynet | opine? | 02:15 |
| * gaelfx approves | 02:15 | |
| jordan_ | gaelfx, it seems more a headache then a fix for now, and being i dont NEED it at the moment i will revoke my question about it | 02:15 |
| Nitrohax | I think I have a solution.. one sec | 02:16 |
| Jayro | Does anyone know how i can install themes i get from here? http://art.gnome.org/themes/metacity?page=2 | 02:16 |
| mjn | jigynet, opine: to hold or express an opinion | 02:16 |
| gaelfx | jordan_ in my experience, it's been pretty decent for running windows programs, have you tried installing any with it? | 02:16 |
| mickster04 | Jayro: system > pref >appearances | 02:16 |
| azmodeus | quasi piango! alla fine ci sono riuscito! ç_ç buonasera a tutti | 02:16 |

| Jayro | mickster04, yeah, i goto install, but there is no theme files in the extracted folder | 02:17 |
| azmodeus | ohhh.. I'm sorry! ^^ | 02:17 |
| gaelfx | !fr > azmodeus | 02:17 |
| ubottu | azmodeus, please see my private message | 02:17 |
| jordan_ | so that was all i had to work with wine at the moment | 02:17 |
| azmodeus | I was sure that was the italian channel... :P | 02:17 |

| Nitrohax | i'm going to try ti thru the java installer. LOL | 02:18 |
| mickster04 | gaelfx: ooh a little slow there :p | 02:18 |
| oldskoolpulsar | whats ubuntu like with software updates to lamp stack compared to say debian | 02:18 |
| gaelfx | mickster04: actually, at first I thought it was french because of the curly c's :/ | 02:18 |
| oldskoolpulsar | im setting up ubuntu in a lxc container | 02:18 |
| azmodeus | what the-... thanks ubottu! ^^ see ya | 02:19 |
| mickster04 | gaelfx: ah yes | 02:19 |
| gaelfx | oldskoolpulsar: well, I would guess that the lamp stack on ubuntu is comparatively a little out of date | 02:19 |
| oldskoolpulsar | debian is terribly out of date! | 02:19 |
| oldskoolpulsar | iv noticed | 02:19 |
| mjn | gaelfx, lamp stack? | 02:20 |
| oldskoolpulsar | apache php mysql | 02:20 |
| MindWarper | oldmanst1n: you can use testing | 02:20 |
| Nitrohax | nope. oh well i guess he's SOL on the windows openoffice stuff. | 02:20 |
| mickster04 | oldskoolpulsar: i'm sure there are ppa's available or at least sources available for more up-to-date versions | 02:20 |
| BitEncrypt | how do i set up the terminal as root or superuser | 02:20 |
| oldskoolpulsar | lol me? | 02:20 |
| MindWarper | isnt it libre ofice ? | 02:20 |
| MindWarper | yes | 02:21 |
| oldskoolpulsar | no | 02:21 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: seriously, hav eyou considered libreoffice? | 02:21 |
| mickster04 | BitEncrypt: you don't, you use sudo infront of the command to run it with sudo privilages e.g. sudo apt-get update | 02:21 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, haven't heard of that one. some thing? | 02:21 |
| itaylor57 | !root | BitEncrypt | 02:21 |
| ubottu | BitEncrypt: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 02:21 |
| mickster04 | libre office is buggier than OOo | 02:21 |
| gaelfx | Nitrohax: oh, it's all the good people from openoffice before oracle | 02:21 |
| rick_ | hello, is the "Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub" of lsusb a pure software driver ? | 02:22 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, oh ok. let me check that one out | 02:22 |
| oldskoolpulsar | openoffice just eats up all resources as quickly as it possibly can | 02:22 |
| itaylor57 | BitEncrypt: if you have to use sudo -i in terminal | 02:22 |
| rick_ | I mean if it is loaded no matter if a usb device exist or not | 02:22 |
| jordan_ | crap | 02:22 |
| mickster04 | itaylor57: whats the difference between that and sudo su | 02:22 |
| mickster04 | jordan_: ? | 02:22 |
| jordan_ | just jacked up my conky | 02:22 |
| oldskoolpulsar | ubottu, lol | 02:22 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 02:22 |
| gaelfx | mickster04: really? on windows even? | 02:22 |
| oldskoolpulsar | what about the spoon? | 02:22 |
| alisalaah | Ubuntu 10:10 -- Really need help getting two usb to dvi adapters (displaylink) working, Jaton Video 101USB-D... I've tried one tutorial online and it's driving me crazy... i really need help | 02:23 |
| oldskoolpulsar | ubottu, | 02:23 |
| jordan_ | i was asking for help earlier to help configure it and was directed to read a site, tried some things now its jacked up | 02:23 |
| gaelfx | oldskoolpulsar: ubottu is a bot | 02:23 |
| mjn | BitEncrypt, you can use su to elevate to root for that terminal session, or you can modify your sudoers file if you need to run sudo in script without having to enter password | 02:23 |
| oldskoolpulsar | lol how i get the bot to tell me about the spoon | 02:23 |
| mickster04 | gaelfx: well it's newer so of course it'll be buggier :p | 02:23 |
| oldskoolpulsar | lol | 02:23 |

| jordan_ | either that or save it for a pm | 02:27 |
| gsp2009 | so, once I completely removed compiz... everything started acting up regarding my displays. I am getting ghosting through the desktop onto my browser and apps... anyone see this before. in this particular case, google and I have not been friends. | 02:27 |

| mickster04 | hydrozii: isn't that a routert setting? | 02:28 |
| itaylor57 | mickster04: doing sudo su will not initialize the environment, the -i to sudo does setup the environemnt reading profile and other files | 02:28 |
| jordan_ | mickster04, did u even get the msg i posted about it a minute ago before the flood incident | 02:29 |

| Jayro | gnome themes are sick :) | 02:33 |
| Jezzz_ | mickster04, have not tried. I'm a noob, so I didn't know about it. Just run from terminal? | 02:33 |
| gaelfx | gparted is only on the livecd/usb | 02:33 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, i just installed flash | 02:33 |
| nillerz | sudo apt-get --fix-missing | 02:33 |
| mickster04 | Jezzz_: system > admin > gparted | 02:34 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, but have you installed pritary drivers like the video driver? | 02:34 |
| mickster04 | gaelfx: oh ok | 02:34 |
| mickster04 | gaelfx: what can Jezzz_ use instead? | 02:34 |
| mickster04 | Jezzz_: apparently gparted is only on the live disk, you can install it thru the software centre | 02:34 |
| Jezzz_ | mickster04, trying now | 02:35 |
| gaelfx | mickster04: he can instlal gparted from software center ;) | 02:35 |
| Nitrohax | yeah gparted doesn't get installed when you install from the cd for some reason. same thing with the wireless driver stuff too. which kinda causes a problem | 02:35 |
| nillerz | I'm editing a PSX-controller driver to work with my PSX-esque controller | 02:35 |
| nillerz | I'm not good at c. | 02:35 |
| Nitrohax | but you shoul dbe able to put the disc back in while running ubuntu and install those from the disc | 02:35 |
| nillerz | I'm wondering exactly how the original Joystick program has it's drivers set up. | 02:36 |
| Jezzz_ | mickster04, gaelfx, Nitrohax -- thanks. This looks like it will do the trick. | 02:36 |
| Jayro | everytime i unpug my netbook after a charge, or just to go somewhere i get a popup that says "battery critically low" but its full charge? its not the battery. | 02:36 |
| Nitrohax | no prob | 02:36 |
| punkmexic | in ubuntu when i put 1024x768 resolution i see black bars can someone help | 02:36 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, no I haven't done anything with my drivers | 02:36 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, that might fix it then. | 02:36 |
| Jezzz_ | except, it looks like it wants me to unmount before I extend | 02:36 |
| mickster04 | Jayro: i think thats a gnome thing :/ it goes away after a second | 02:36 |
| Jezzz_ | I guess I need to boot to live cd first? | 02:36 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, yo uknow how to have it search for drivers? | 02:37 |
| mickster04 | Jezzz_: yeah live cd if its the main partition | 02:37 |

| securetux | Hi, i have a problem with ubuntu graphics, i think its Compiz that stop working, I dont see half of the screen and compiz is not working, How can i know whata happening? | 02:37 |
| eoss | nitrohax no i only installed drivers in windows before | 02:37 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, yeah i got your pm | 02:37 |
| mickster04 | Jayro: how do you tell it to? | 02:38 |
| gaelfx | securetux: what do you mean when you say "I don't see half the screen"? | 02:38 |
| Jayro | mickster04, press "cancell" so it dosnt go to standby mode | 02:38 |
| gaelfx | securetux: is your monitor set at the wrong resolution? | 02:38 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, you need to goto system>admin>hardware drivers it will install there | 02:39 |
| securetux | Yeap, in the right side of the screen is black, all the keyboard configs have been lost, and compiz is not working i think | 02:39 |
| bc81 | Jayro: gconftool-2 --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/notify/low_capacity --type bool false | 02:39 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, also remeber to install restricted extras from the software site | 02:39 |
| Jayro | thanks bc81 | 02:39 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, did you get that one? | 02:40 |
| gaelfx | securetux: whoa, whoa, half of the screen is black? did you check that the cable is properly plugged in? | 02:40 |
| securetux | gaelfx, no, today was working everything ok. :( its a laptop. I think it was the last package update | 02:41 |
| nillerz | Hey can anyone help me with some driver issues? | 02:41 |
| Nitrohax | securetux, roll back on the video driver? | 02:41 |
| mickster04 | securetux: ctrl+alt+f2, does the text reach across the whole screen if you type alot? | 02:41 |
| gaelfx | securetux: try rebooting and hold the shift key, grub should come up and you can select the previous kernel image to boot from | 02:41 |
| bc81 | !anyone | nillerz | 02:42 |
| ubottu | nillerz: 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. | 02:42 |
| gaelfx | (it is shift key to get the grub menu nowadays, right?) | 02:42 |
| Nitrohax | gaelfx, yes | 02:42 |
| Jayro | so now that i have ubuntu looking nice,. I have a picture i want to be my background in terminal. But its too big, but ifi resize it , itll be too small if i drag the window bigger. Does anyone know how to make terminal stretch a backgroud image to fit? or a terminal replacement that can do that? | 02:42 |
| nillerz | !shutup | bc81 | 02:42 |
| eoss | ok Nitrohax rerstarting i will be back | 02:42 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, ok | 02:42 |
| KB1JWQ | nillerz: Please keep it civil. | 02:42 |
| securetux | mickster04, yes it does, I can see the clock or the shutdown button, but not the desktop for eg. | 02:42 |
| gaelfx | you would think this was an LotR fanclubirc the way we get so many trolls in here | 02:43 |
| xtbgod | If i gave password to one partition of my pendrive using the Disk Utility how i'm able to open it on Win OS ? | 02:43 |
| bc81 | nillerz: no need to be rude. i must have missed your original question while i was away | 02:43 |
| mickster04 | securetux: ok | 02:43 |
| securetux | I have Docky installed also in that side of the screen, i can see the bar | 02:43 |
| JunK-Y | right after ati driver 11.2, my linux is freezing, since theres no menu for grub, how can I boot in single mode? | 02:43 |
| Jayro | anyone? | 02:43 |
| nillerz | nobody likes dismissive ubottu go-tos. | 02:43 |
| nillerz | They are universally annoying. | 02:43 |
| securetux | I'll show you a print | 02:43 |
| gaelfx | JunK-Y: hold shift key when you boot, grub menu should show up | 02:43 |
| JunK-Y | gaelfx: i'll try, thanks | 02:44 |
| Jayro | so now that i have ubuntu looking nice,. I have a picture i want to be my background in terminal. But its too big, but ifi resize it , itll be too small if i drag the window bigger. Does anyone know how to make terminal stretch a backgroud image to fit? or a terminal replacement that can do that? | 02:44 |
| gaelfx | np | 02:44 |
| bc81 | nillerz: get over it, those factoids are there for a reason | 02:44 |
| securetux | I cannot take a print =/ all keyboard config are not working | 02:44 |
| Axlin | securetux: ah, docky. this happens to me sometimes, too. usually a simple "compiz --replace" in the run dialog (alt+f2) fixes it. it's caused generally by compositing being disabled | 02:44 |
| dvez43 | i have a quick question about wireless cards | 02:44 |
| dvez43 | if anyone has time | 02:44 |
| bigbang | when i try to run compiz on my terminal i get following error | 02:44 |
| bigbang | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 02:44 |
| Nitrohax | Jayro, edit it in gimp | 02:44 |
| bigbang | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 02:44 |
| ublender | I have a large number of files in my home folder and nowhere to transfer them to. I want to reinstall ubuntu without moving these files? Is this possible? For example if I were to run the ubuntu instal disk and choose the manual partition for my current '/' as the new destination, would it all work out, leaving my home folder? | 02:44 |
| FloodBot1 | bigbang: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:44 |

| nillerz | bc81, to add beaurocracy to a community that doesn't need it | 02:45 |
| securetux | Axlin, hey! that could be! i 'll try that thanks | 02:45 |
| bc81 | !ot | nillerz | 02:45 |
| ubottu | nillerz: #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! | 02:45 |
| Jayro | Nitrohax, but i need it to stretch to the terminal whatever the size of the terminal is | 02:45 |
| dvez43 | my wireless card stopped working today | 02:45 |
| dvez43 | i need some assistance | 02:45 |
| Nitrohax | oh you just want it was a back ground in terminal? | 02:45 |
| securetux | Couldn't find a perfect decorator match; trying all decorators --> Found no decorator to start | 02:45 |
| dvez43 | im on a thinkpad laptop | 02:45 |
| Jayro | Nitrohax, yes | 02:45 |
| nillerz | now you're just being obnoxious. Anyway, does anyone know the method that the program Joystick uses to identify non-USB controllers? | 02:45 |
| gaelfx | dvez43: what kind of card and also did you instlal any updates recently? | 02:45 |
| ChogyDan | ublender: I believe so. I think next release they are going to fix the GUI to make it more obvious. Just setup your partitions and _don't_ set any to be formatted. | 02:45 |
| dvez43 | yes | 02:45 |
| dvez43 | just installed a couple new updates | 02:46 |
| securetux | Axlin, well, i still dont see the screen but now keyboard configs work fine! | 02:46 |
| dvez43 | wireless-n intel pro | 02:46 |
| gaelfx | !tab | dvez43 | 02:46 |
| ubottu | dvez43: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:46 |
| OvermindDL1 | Does anyone know of any good software for a high-end Android touchphone for controlling an Ubuntu computer over, say, wifi, using a remote keyboard/mouse/etc...? | 02:46 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, still choppy | 02:46 |
| Nitrohax | Jayro, I just resized and tweaked it for a bit so it still fit into the temrinal | 02:46 |
| gaelfx | dvez43: which updates, do you remember? | 02:46 |
| ublender | ChogyDan: thanks, that's awesome. i sure hope it works, because if my files vanish, i might cry. | 02:46 |
| mickster04 | OvermindDL1: find an android forum or channel... | 02:46 |
| dvez43 | hmm | 02:46 |

| Axlin | securetux: no decorators? can you access the compiz control panel? | 02:46 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, after installing the grphics drivers and restricted-extras? | 02:47 |
| dvez43 | im not to sure actually, i just did it like 20 minutes ago, and now the wireless card isnt working | 02:47 |
| ChogyDan | ublender: well, you _should_ have a backup anyway :p | 02:47 |
| dvez43 | is there any way to reinstall the driver? | 02:47 |
| securetux | Axlin, now, its gonne =/ | 02:47 |
| Jayro | Nitrohax, but i drag terminals to make them bigger and stuff all the time. Is there another terminal replacement that can make an image stretch to fit whatever size i have the terminal? | 02:47 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, i ran additional driver and the proprietary driver for my graphics card is now installed | 02:47 |
| Nitrohax | Jayro, let me look at soemthing | 02:47 |
| Jayro | Nitrohax, thanks. lemme know | 02:48 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, what are you trying to view that is choppy? | 02:48 |
| Nitrohax | Jayro, checking to see what i have. | 02:48 |
| gaelfx | dvez43: can you pastebin "iwconfig", assuming it isn't empty? | 02:48 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, regular youtube videos | 02:48 |
| Nitrohax | did you install the latest java? | 02:48 |
| dvez43 | says no wireless extensions | 02:48 |
| ublender | ChogyDan: when i get a spare tb hdd, i will :P | 02:48 |
| dvez43 | under lo | 02:48 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, yep | 02:48 |
| securetux | Axlin, there where some package missing, i'll try rebooting X | 02:48 |
| Nitrohax | ok one sec | 02:48 |
| dvez43 | and eth0 no wireless extensions | 02:48 |
| Guest94239 | so can i have a full disk encrypted install with alternate | 02:49 |
| theperfecttaco | after updating to maverick my bootloader is malfunctioning - comp goes into grub-recovery at startup. has anyone had a similar experience? | 02:49 |
| Axlin | securetux: do you mean that you don't have ccsm installed? | 02:49 |
| Guest94239 | or is the boot still unencrypted _ | 02:49 |
| Guest94239 | ?? | 02:49 |
| gaelfx | dvez43: ok, is there a switch for your wireless? if so, is it turned on? | 02:49 |
| dvez43 | nope, its turned on | 02:49 |

| ubottu | dvez43, please see my private message | 02:51 |
| securetux | Axlin, still the same. I think i should reinstall compiz | 02:51 |
| Nitrohax | Jayro, looks like you are just going to have to tweak the one that came with sorry. | 02:52 |
| dvez43 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/571484/ | 02:52 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, =[ thanks anyway | 02:52 |
| Axlin | securetux: well compiz barking that it couldn't find a window manager. in ccsm (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager if you don't have it) has a plug in where you specify the window manager compiz should use | 02:52 |
| rmd_ | can I dd the ubuntu .iso to a usb drive and boot from that? Will that work? | 02:52 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, is your net conection you think? | 02:52 |
| Jayro | Nitrohax, what about terminal replacements that have that feature? | 02:52 |
| nillerz | 0x41 < What kind of hardware identifier is that? | 02:52 |
| syrinx | @rmd yea if you bios lets you boot from usb, sure. | 02:53 |
| Nitrohax | jayro, you can look in the software center or the net for those, but i didn't really see antyhign that would do what you are asking | 02:53 |
| rmd_ | syrinx: So the .iso is bootable? | 02:53 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, ok figured out something, when i go in 1080p but dont enlarge the video then it does it | 02:53 |
| Jayro | do KDE terminals work for gnome? | 02:53 |
| Jayro | with all the same commands and stuff? | 02:53 |
| rmd_ | mmmk. | 02:53 |
| securetux | Axlin, i've changed de visual effects of ubuntu, there where set as "None" now i selected Extra. The windows issue was resolved. but still its working strange | 02:53 |
| nillerz | Jayro, yup | 02:53 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, it's a conversion error then. | 02:53 |
| Jayro | nillerz, thanks | 02:53 |
| syrinx | rmd: you'd have to use the startup disk creator | 02:53 |
| dvez43 | hmm it shows my network controller | 02:53 |
| gaelfx | dvez43: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1693370 it looks like a known issue, but I'm not sure if there's a way to deal with it | 02:54 |
| rmd_ | syrinx: ... What does the disk creator do? I'm not using Ubuntu. | 02:54 |
| nillerz | Jayro, they're all just terminal emulators, emulating the same terminal. | 02:54 |
| Axlin | securetux: so to make sure i'm on the same page, your windows do have borders and the screen isn't half-black? | 02:54 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, because when i run them in 240p there isnt a problem | 02:54 |
| syrinx | creates the boot files; whats the specific circumstance? | 02:54 |
| securetux | Axlin, yeap! :) | 02:54 |
| Jayro | nillerz, awesome! thank you | 02:54 |
| gaelfx | rmd_: what disk creator are you talking about? if it's the USB startup disk creator, that creates a liveusb version of ubuntu on a thumb drive | 02:55 |
| securetux | Axlin, ok now i have compiz config button ! | 02:55 |
| dvez43 | i dont understand, it was working earlier today? | 02:55 |
| rmd_ | syrinx: I'm on Archlinux right now. | 02:55 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, sound like you might need to change your resolution or upgrade a card. | 02:55 |
| nillerz | Jayro, you wanna be real 1337? alt, F2, then run X-term | 02:55 |
| Nitrohax | You aren't trying to run this in vbox are you eoss? | 02:55 |
| lumos | hi, i have a seta hardrive, when i try and install it doesnt recognise my hardrive | 02:55 |
| nillerz | package xterm | 02:55 |
| gaelfx | dvez43: hang on, I'm looking at the info I sent you | 02:55 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, no not vbox | 02:55 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, ok, what kind of CPu are you using? | 02:56 |
| Jayro | nillerz, im guess thats the real terminal that all the emulators control? | 02:56 |
| gaelfx | dvez43: is your router set to n-only mode? | 02:56 |
| syrinx | hmmm | 02:56 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, when i enlarge the video in 1080p it runs smooth, only when its high setting and in the normal size video | 02:56 |
| dvez43 | connecting to a college network | 02:56 |
| eoss | nitro amd64 | 02:56 |
| dvez43 | never had problems | 02:56 |
| syrinx | not familiar rmd, im sure theres some type of startup disk creator for arch tho | 02:56 |
| dvez43 | its a public wireless | 02:56 |
| rmd_ | gaelfx: Right. But, specifically, what does the application do? I mean, I can copy or write files to the usb drive, but does it install a boot loader, anything like that? | 02:56 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, oh ok, it's a backwards problem. Sounds like it's workign to hard to change the size of the video | 02:56 |
| gaelfx | dvez43: hm, ok, I'm looking at another thing right now | 02:56 |
| syrinx | @rmd yes, exactly | 02:57 |
| syrinx | makes the drive bootable | 02:57 |
| gaelfx | rmd_: yeah, it installs a bootloader and whatnot, but you need an Ubuntu disk image to create it | 02:57 |
| eoss | Nitrohax, how can i fix that? | 02:57 |
| rmd_ | syrinx: OK. So what bootloader? grub? How does it do it? Syslinux? | 02:57 |
| Nitrohax | eoss, i'm looking up solutions right now. one sec | 02:57 |
| syrinx | @rmd thats probably a question better suited for gaelfx | 02:57 |
| rmd_ | gaelfx: I know that. But if I write the image to the usb drive using dd, it doesn't work. | 02:57 |
| dvez43 | so here is something interesting | 02:58 |
| syrinx | because theres nothing to boot | 02:58 |
| syrinx | cant just boot an iso | 02:58 |
| mickster04 | !who | 02:58 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:58 |
| syrinx | have to extract it and whatnot | 02:58 |
| gaelfx | rmd_: yeah, you can't just copy the thing over, the disk creator does a bunch of magic making sure that everything is copied bit-for-bit | 02:58 |
| dvez43 | in the etc/mobprob.d/intel-5300-iwlagn-disable11n.conf | 02:58 |
| dvez43 | shows options iwlagn 11n_disable=1 | 02:59 |
| gaelfx | rmd_: and there is a special filesystem it uses, called squashfs that needs to be set up properly for everything to work | 02:59 |
| rmd_ | gaelfx: OK. So. Imagine I don't have a disk creator. Is there a set of instructions for how to install the .iso to a usb drive and make it bootable? | 02:59 |
| nillerz | Jayro, nah xterm is still just another emulator | 02:59 |
| Jayro | nillerz, hahah there is so many of them | 02:59 |
| gaelfx | rmd_: yes, the communty help documentation has an article on it | 02:59 |
| dvez43 | and yes, download the iso to usb program from the ubuntu website. | 02:59 |
| === e8newallm is now known as E8newallm | ||
| syrinx | @rmd, could you try to get a package called usb-creator? | 03:00 |
| gaelfx | dvez43: well, from what I've read, it can't use N anyways, so I don't think that's the problem, but you're more than welcome to try flipping the bit to get it to work. just remember how to undo what you've done | 03:00 |
| rmd_ | the instructions I found on the community site got the usb drive to book, but it was a black screen. | 03:00 |

| Jayro | i have an awesome background that says : "Unix, Where there is a shell, there is a way" that i want to put in my terminal :) | 03:04 |

| Jayro | nillerz ^^ | 03:04 |
| gaelfx | JunK-Y: no prob, glad to hear it :D | 03:04 |

| sacarlson | dav324 what are primaries and FDE? | 03:06 |
| Jonii^ | If anyone knows, please tell. If the bug has a name of sorts, it'd be good to know so I could google it | 03:06 |
| gaelfx | FDE is full disk encryption | 03:06 |
| rmd_ | gaelfx: Not your fault. I'm not really sure why you all have created an .iso that isn't bootable. *every*one else has :-/ | 03:07 |
| securetux | Axlin, yes, i have ATI catalys control center. But they worked fine without them also | 03:07 |
| gaelfx | primaries are partitions that are not logical | 03:07 |

| gaelfx | rmd_: it sounds like the image didn't get written correctly. you might try using unetbootin | 03:10 |
| Axlin | securetux: hm. what happens when you run compiz from the terminal? | 03:10 |
| hypatia | dave324: for encryption? | 03:10 |
| Axlin | securetux: just open one up and type "compiz" | 03:10 |
| sacarlson | dave324: you can use LUKS with normal partitions also I found, with System>diskutility they have a cool tool to set it up | 03:10 |
| dave324 | hypatia, yes | 03:10 |
| Jayro | nillerz, i found this: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/55492228/03457-Added-background-image-scaling-.patch | 03:10 |
| dave324 | sacarlson, im using the alternate cd installer | 03:11 |
| Jayro | supposed to add the feature i want to gnome-terminal | 03:11 |
| gaelfx | rmd_: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ if that doesn't work, then I would have to say there is probably something wrong with the flash drive you're using | 03:11 |
| hypatia | dave324: you want LVM with encryption, guided | 03:11 |
| Jayro | what do you think nillerz? | 03:11 |
| hypatia | dave324: (if yuo want to use the whole drive) | 03:11 |
| rmd_ | There's nothing wrong with this drive. :-/ | 03:11 |
| rmd_ | I'll try unetbootin, then. | 03:11 |
| securetux | Axlin, it starts blinking again, Docky doesnt work, the keyboard config is lost and the screen looks weired again | 03:11 |
| dave324 | hypatia, yes i do | 03:11 |
| rmd_ | Oh right. I downloaded that. | 03:11 |
| * rmd_ wanders off | 03:11 | |
| Axlin | securetux: does it give you any output in the terminal? | 03:11 |
| sacarlson | dave324: yes I've used that to setup a FDE as you call it also I found a good link for it that worked for me. the method I used in that case was not encyrypt /boot dir | 03:12 |
| securetux | Axlin, no | 03:12 |
| rmd_ | huh | 03:12 |
| hypatia | dave324: then pick guided + lvm + encrypted | 03:12 |
| Jonii^ | Like, why doesn't flash work :< | 03:12 |
| rmd_ | "libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file..." odd I have libpng installed. | 03:12 |
| nillerz | Jayro, that looks like... a lot of code. | 03:12 |
| Jonii^ | What's the name of the bug, what is causing it, and how to fight it? | 03:12 |
| Axlin | securetux: well if you do "metacity --replace" does the screen at least stop blinking? | 03:13 |
| Jayro | nillerz, i know x] lol | 03:13 |
| dave324 | hypatia, guided doesnt allow me to specify the enc algo? | 03:13 |
| securetux | Axlin, the screen starts blinking just for a seconds, then it stops when i run compiz | 03:13 |
| hypatia | dave324: the defaults are fine unless you really know what you're doing. i see the instructions you're going with, i wouldn't bother doing a separate /home | 03:13 |
| dave324 | yeah | 03:14 |
| securetux | Axlin, with metacity --replace it all works fine but without visual effects | 03:14 |
| hypatia | dave324: it's lvm so you can change things around later if you need to | 03:14 |
| sacarlson | dave324: this is what I used as my reference in FDE install using alternate cd as install method http://joernfranz.wordpress.com/2011/01/20/installing-ubuntu-10-10-with-full-disk-encryption/ | 03:14 |
| dave324 | does guided encrypt swap as well? | 03:14 |
| hypatia | dave324: yup | 03:14 |
| dave324 | sacarlson, i was looking for that | 03:14 |
| sacarlson | dave324: I would like to know if you just install without /boot unencrypted how that works also | 03:15 |
| dave324 | wouldnt work | 03:15 |
| br10ta10 | I want to create a system with three flavors of Linux. Do I make five partitions (1 shared swap, 1 shared /boot, and then 1 for each of the three OS flavors)? | 03:16 |
| ruffdog | Can you have Windows dual boot with Ubuntu if you use Ubuntu disk encryption? | 03:16 |
| gaelfx | ruffdog: should be able to | 03:16 |
| gaelfx | ruffdog: I thought the encryption only applied to the partitions of ubuntu | 03:17 |
| Axlin | securetux: hm. well i'm finding online that a lot of people simply have weird issues with compiz + ATI cards. it's related to drivers, generally. do you know the model of your card? i'll see if i can find anything related to it specifically | 03:17 |
| eoss | anything Nitrohax ? | 03:17 |
| securetux | Axlin, Yep, its ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 | 03:17 |
| securetux | thank you very much | 03:17 |
| ruffdog | gaelfx, good point. I think you're right. | 03:18 |
| Axlin | securetux: in the meantime, try this in the terminal: glxinfo | grep rendering | 03:19 |
| george__ | anyone know morse code? | 03:19 |
| securetux | Axlin, the thing is that it was working fine, maybe i touch something i shouldnt or deleted something | 03:19 |
| securetux | Ok | 03:19 |
| Axlin | securetux: it should output with "direct rendering: yes" | 03:19 |

| gwz | Hey, I was having issues with ubuntu installation, using wubi and getting "no root filesystem defined" :s | 03:40 |
| sacarlson | westy: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 03:40 |
| westy | 10.1 kde | 03:40 |
| gwz | also, C:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub seems to be empty | 03:40 |
| jordan_ | hypatia, heyyyyyyy | 03:41 |
| mickster04 | gwz: does the wubi installer give you a screen in which to define the size of the ubuntu partition, i haven't used wubi before... | 03:41 |
| Jezzzxxx | ok.. i rebooted into live cd but still can't resize the partition | 03:41 |
| gwz | mickster04: yes | 03:41 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: what does it say when you try? | 03:41 |
| djhash_ | westy: did you try installing the dev packages of mysql? | 03:41 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: gparted shows a ton of free space, but it shows the max as the current size. | 03:42 |
| westy | djhash_: i dont think i have but ill check | 03:42 |
| sacarlson | westy: well I don't know how that could happen, I would try --purge mysql-server mysql-common mysql-client myphpadmin and reinstall | 03:42 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: I think these two swap/logical partitions are messing me up. they still show locked | 03:42 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: you have two swap partitions? | 03:42 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: well.. no. one is a 3.1GB swap partition and one is a 3.1GB extended partition | 03:43 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: "container for logical partitions" and "swap partition" | 03:43 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: erm.. "Swap Space" | 03:43 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: each is 3.1 gb | 03:43 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: oh, no, that's how it's supposed to be | 03:44 |
| sacarlson | westy: also maybe you have some ppa in your repository? lets see your /etc/apt/source.list pastebinit to us | 03:44 |
| gwz | anyone? | 03:44 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: if I resize in gparted, it shows the max size is limited to what it already is | 03:44 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: a logical partition just allows you to have more than four partitions, so that's normal | 03:44 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: are you sure that the drive isn't mounted? | 03:45 |
| Golden | mdadm help anyone? | 03:45 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: if the drive is mounted, you can't change anything in it | 03:45 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: the primary partition (dev/sda1) is not mounted. but it appears as though the other two are | 03:45 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: how do I unmount the swap and logical? | 03:46 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: no, you shouldn't need to do that | 03:46 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: oh... i just right clicked and chose "swap off" | 03:46 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: that removed the lock icon from those partitions | 03:46 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: are you trying to make sda1 bigger or smaller? | 03:47 |
| folklore | if I forgot my login info | 03:47 |
| folklore | anyway to get in ubuntu? | 03:47 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: bigger. it is currently 77GB. I would like to make it 1000GB | 03:47 |
| gaelfx | folklore: brute force pasword guessing | 03:47 |
| folklore | besides that | 03:47 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: and does gparted show that you have any unallocated space on this hard drive? | 03:48 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: yes. 857.01GB | 03:48 |
| itaylor57 | folklore: yes there is | 03:48 |
| westy | http://pastebin.com/R7hexEtp | 03:48 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: so I would like my new partition to fill the remaining space .. ~900MB | 03:48 |
| itaylor57 | folklore: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 03:49 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: also, I should tell you that it's better to have more than one partition for your system | 03:49 |
| sacarlson | westy: when I look for your file on my system this is what I find /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.16 | 03:49 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: oh. why is that? | 03:50 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: lemme guess, the first thing is sda1, then the logical partition, then a bunch of free space? | 03:50 |
| aman | can anyone tell me which file executes first after login in? | 03:50 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: exactly | 03:50 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: if you mount '/' and '/home' on two separate partitions, then you can reinstall the system and keep all of your home folder files intact | 03:51 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: ok, delete the logical partition, if you can | 03:51 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: that is way beyond my noobish skills :) | 03:51 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: ok... deleting the logical part | 03:51 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: it's actually pretty easy, what you're doing now is all you have to know how to do to do it | 03:51 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: logical deleted | 03:51 |
| moy1989 | buenas disculpen las molestias pero alguien me podria decir como bloquear un equipo para que no tenga salida a internet con iptables? | 03:52 |
| gaelfx | ok, now create a new swap partition at the END of the drive | 03:52 |
| Ephras | Could I ask how exactly do binaries work? | 03:52 |
| gaelfx | !es | moy1989 | 03:52 |
| ubottu | moy1989: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 03:52 |
| Ephras | I've always been under the impression that a program compiled on a machine will only work on that machine. | 03:52 |
| gaelfx | Ephras: binaries are like files full of 1010101 that run straight through the processor | 03:52 |
| aman | gaelfx, can u tell me which file executes first after logging into the system???? | 03:52 |
| westy | i have that libmysqlclient.so.16 | 03:52 |
| gaelfx | aman: sorry I don't know | 03:53 |
| Ephras | So they don't contain any information unique to the machine? | 03:53 |
| aman | gaelfx, its ok no problm | 03:53 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: should I keep it at 3.1GB and what volume name? | 03:53 |
| sacarlson | westy: why does your mysql client not link to that? | 03:53 |
| itaylor57 | Ephras: it depends on the executable | 03:53 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: also, how do I create it at the END? | 03:53 |
| andresmh | is there an command line program I can use to create a PDF out of a couple of jpegs? | 03:53 |
| itaylor57 | Ephras: and whether it uses static or shared libs | 03:53 |
| westy | to the servers cuz it cant my that libmysqlclient.so.12 | 03:53 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: no volume name should be needed, you can make it whatever size you want, but I suggest at least twice the size of your physical RAM | 03:53 |
| westy | cant find*** | 03:54 |
| sacarlson | westy: you must be running the wrong bin file | 03:54 |
| langbeyond | hello world | 03:54 |
| Ephras | So like say I compiled the GIMP on my computer - would the executable work on another machine? | 03:54 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: ok. i'll keep it at 3.1 - but it doesn't want to go to the END | 03:54 |
| Ephras | Or does it depend on compilation options? | 03:54 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: hm, really? maybe you should just wait to make the swap and first extend sda1 | 03:55 |
| sacarlson | westy: my guess is you some how installed some mysql bin from ? and are trying to run that instead of the standard ubuntu version | 03:55 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: ok. will I need to leave space for the logical partition also? | 03:56 |
| Golden | anyone care to sidebar with me on mdadm config and getting my arrays back? | 03:56 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: see, not so hard to figure it out? That's exactly right | 03:56 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: when I right click the primary parition, the resize option is no longer there. in fact, the right click menu is gone. | 03:56 |
| pfifo | Im going to make a pot of coffee, anyone want a cup? | 03:57 |
| westy | i dont think i did the server has a bin file that has all the info for connections | 03:57 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: hm, that's odd. maybe you need to restart gparted | 03:57 |
| Golden | fresh beans .. i'm in | 03:57 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: my fault. somehow I was in disk manager instead of gparted | 03:58 |
| Jezzzxxx | gaelfx: ok... this looks like it will let me make a partition at the end | 03:58 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: haha, that's ok, no worries | 03:58 |
| gaelfx | Jezzzxxx: perfect, even easier :D | 03:59 |
| sacarlson | westy: what does this display mysql -V | 03:59 |

Does this have good touch screen support out of the box? Oh, and does it work well with pen/stylus writing on resistive screens? | 04:06 |
| sacarlson | westy: your script or tar package must be attempting to run some binary mysql that you don't have the libs for | 04:06 |
| pfifo | sabboo, then it must be 48bit | 04:07 |
| eoss | how do i stop a process from starting when ubuntu starts up? | 04:07 |

| miketomdool | yw =P | 04:13 |
| pfifo | GaMeBoY, well first off let me say that desktop and remix are identical when it comes to packages. So in my opinion the packages that come preinstalled with desktop are more suitable for a computer system. | 04:13 |
| Docfxit | softwar = software | 04:13 |
| bbbb | someone can help me about sharing internet pc via bluetooth? | 04:13 |
| itaylor57 | sabboo: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 04:13 |
| sacarlson | westy: I guess you have to point you symbolic link at the bin files not the libs | 04:14 |
| westy | ok | 04:14 |
| pfifo | GaMeBoY, if you have previous experience with desktop you might find remix to be burdensome when it comes to finding things and doing tasks | 04:14 |
| GaMeBoY | pfifo: oh ok i see. well is remix more lightweight and faster? as in, is it definitely the better choice for low-performing computers or is there not that much of a difference? | 04:16 |
| gaelfx | GaMeBoY: no difference | 04:16 |
| DisasteR | hi | 04:16 |
| dr_Willis | Lubuntu is gotten quite good for low end machines. But i guess it all depends on your exacgt needs | 04:16 |
| rmd_ | There's no official Tor package in Ubuntu? | 04:16 |
| pfifo | GaMeBoY, there is no difference | 04:16 |
| gaelfx | GaMeBoY: linux in general is designed to be lightweight and perform better on lower-specced machines | 04:17 |
| dr_Willis | rmd_ not any more.. not been one for some time | 04:17 |
| DisasteR | grub2 gfxmenu is working on maverick ? | 04:17 |
| rmd_ | dr_Willis: ... odd. | 04:17 |
| * rmd_ looks for a PPA | 04:17 | |
| dr_Willis | rmd_ there are wiki pages that tell how to setup tor | 04:17 |
| dr_Willis | rmd_ tor homepage is where to start. and the wiki | 04:17 |
| Himem-Sys | hey peeps cant get ubuntu to see my netgear wga111 any ideas? | 04:17 |
| BitEncrypt | i installed lubuntu-desktop but i cannot select it when i log out | 04:17 |
| dr_Willis | not odd at all realy. theres no one wanting to maintain tor for ubuntu. so its gone. | 04:18 |
| gaelfx | rmd_: I take it you got the liveusb to work? | 04:18 |
| nit-wit | BitEncrypt, you choose it at the login gui | 04:18 |
| rmd_ | gaelfx: yeah. I had to use unetbootin. Annoying, but such is life. I'm more baffled by the lack of a Tor package.. | 04:19 |
| Himem-Sys | guess thats the 1st step | 04:19 |
| BitEncrypt | nit-wit, i know its not there to select | 04:19 |
| GaMeBoY | pfifo, gaelfx: that make sense. thanks for the tips! | 04:19 |
| miketomdool | can you get into xterm BitEncryption? | 04:19 |
| gaelfx | rmd_: yeah, it's strange that they don't make one anymore | 04:19 |
| gaelfx | GaMeBoY: no problem, hope you enjoy your linux experience :D | 04:19 |
| rmd_ | Also, I told the install process to download updates as it installed the software.. it obviously didn't do that, as I booted into 226 new updates. | 04:19 |
| dr_Willis | gdm may need to be restarted for Lubuntu to show in the menus' | 04:19 |
| nit-wit | BitEncrypt, not in the popup, how did you install | 04:19 |
| === crow is now known as Guest48455 | ||

| Golden | got my arrays up and mounted can see data now .. next question is about persistent device naming. looking at fdisk -l .. what was sda is now sdd .. i would like it to be sda for organizational purposes .. as well as the other 6 drives maintaining a consistant position. so that I can write an mdadm.conf and and modify the fstab to mount them the same with each infrequent reboot. | 04:20 |
| BitEncrypt | nit-wit, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 04:20 |
| GaMeBoY | gaelfx: thanks! i'm not totally new to linux though. i've used ubuntu 8.10 (or 04, i forget which one, it was intrepid ibex), pclinuxos, debian, and currently using fedora 12 | 04:21 |
| r0z4 | Hi some tool for encrypt the disk? | 04:21 |
| nit-wit | BitEncrypt, yeah if you aven't rebooted I would try that as suggested by the dr_Willis | 04:21 |
| dr_Willis | or try a 'sudo service gdm restart' (or ldm if you are using ldm) | 04:21 |
| pfifo | Golden, dont use /dev/sda use /dev/disk/by-uuid/ | 04:21 |
| westy | sacarlson: it showing on this guide that i need to give root permission 777 to all the files see it can read and write to them correctly, how can i do that? | 04:21 |
| dr_Willis | that WILL restart you rX session | 04:22 |
| gaelfx | GaMeBoY: ah, gotcha, sorry for the stupid assumption! | 04:22 |
| amit | when i ooen terminal it shows bash 4.1$ | 04:22 |
| GaMeBoY | gaelfx: no worries at all! | 04:23 |
| GaMeBoY | i'm gonna take off. cya guys, take care! | 04:23 |
| dr_Willis | amit perhaps your .bashrc or .profile got removed/deleted/messed up. | 04:23 |
| amit | dr_willis: how to recover it | 04:24 |
| dr_Willis | amit see if thy exist for starters | 04:24 |
| dr_Willis | could be you rprompt is just messed up. | 04:24 |
| dr_Willis | cat .bashrc and see if its there | 04:24 |
| amit | dr_willis:plz explain sir "starters' | 04:24 |
| amit | ok | 04:25 |
| Golden | pfifo: i see that uuids are set in fstab atm but just for the boot/system/swap disk however it did move from being sda at install to sdd now that I've rebooted and added the other 6 drives and initialized the arrays on them etc.. will that continue to happen? if it does how to i get my arrays back again without going into a bunch of unfun cli stuff? | 04:25 |
| amit | dr_willis: cat .bashrc says no such file or directory | 04:25 |
| pfifo | Golden, it is impossible to predict what device node a disk will be assigned be the kernel. However the UUID of a filesystem will always remain the same | 04:26 |
| dr_Willis | amit see if theres a .profile also. could be you deleted the files | 04:26 |
| Golden | also how do i get the uuids of the disks that are not showing up in the fstab | 04:27 |
| amit | dr_willis: it also says no such file or directory | 04:27 |
| pfifo | Golden, blkid | 04:27 |
| hhhzzzarn | Need help with faster vnc viewing, suggestions. | 04:27 |
| Golden | blkid | 04:27 |
| dr_Willis | amit see if they exist in /etc/skel/ if so copythem to your users home. | 04:27 |
| Golden | wrong kbd | 04:27 |
| dr_Willis | hhhzzzarn use lightweight window manager. not a full desktop. use lower res screen, use lower # of colors. | 04:28 |
| dr_Willis | or check out freenx | 04:28 |
| amit | dr_willis; i opened vi /etc/skel but it is empty | 04:29 |
| BitEncrypt | dr_Willis, i did sudo servive gdm restart didnt work all that shows up is failsafe gnome....gnome....xterm....is it possible to update lubuntu from gdm | 04:29 |
| rmd_ | How do I restart privoxy... ? | 04:29 |
| hhhzzzarn | dr_Willis: xfce4, vncserver :1 -geometry 640x480 color depth: 8? or 16? rgb? | 04:29 |
| dr_Willis | amit skel is a Directory.. not a file..look for files (hidden) in the directory | 04:29 |
| amit | ok | 04:29 |
| dr_Willis | 8 would be faster hhhzzarn | 04:29 |
| dr_Willis | but look ugly. | 04:29 |
| Golden | ok have a good tut that explins about fstab what everything is in it .. I'm finding the man pages hard to follow | 04:30 |
| dr_Willis | hhhzzzrn and just a single window manager. not a desktop would be faster still | 04:30 |
| hhhzzzarn | dr_Willis, the program I am running is very graphic. | 04:30 |
| amit | dr_willis: how to see m confused | 04:30 |
| pfifo | Golden, try viewing the man pages online in a webbrowser | 04:30 |
| dr_Willis | amit use your file manager to look in the directory like you would any other dierctory. | 04:30 |
| dr_Willis | amit be siure to have it show hidden files | 04:31 |
| hhhzzzarn | dr_Willis: single window manager? sudo apt-get install xfce4 NOT sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktop | 04:31 |
| amit | dr_willis:but i cannot go to any directory through command | 04:31 |
| dr_Willis | hhhzzrn xfce is a 'desktop' it uses the 'xfwm' window manager | 04:31 |
| hhhzzzarn | dr willis: suggestion then? | 04:31 |
| dr_Willis | amit i would have to guess you are doing it wrong.. cd /etc/skel then ls -al | 04:32 |
| Golden | ok thx pfifo .. hoping i don't bork my fstab or mdadm.conf is all .. trying to recover from a borked system due to extended power outage .. wish i added a few extra batteries to my ups now.. | 04:32 |
| BitEncrypt | dr_Willis, see above comment plz | 04:32 |
| dr_Willis | hhhzzarn for fastest vnc speeds. i tend to just use jwm. | 04:32 |
| amit | dr_willis:it says total 0 | 04:32 |
| hhhzzzarn | dr_willis: I start with ubuntu 10.04 server? what gui should i install? | 04:32 |
| hhhzzzarn | ok | 04:33 |

| daksai3_ | how do i register? | 04:33 |
| dr_Willis | dddzzarn you could just install jwm. if yu want. | 04:33 |
| SwedeMike | folklore: missing libraries. Try "ldd <filename>" | 04:33 |

| Starminn | daksai3: Registering what? | 04:33 |
| daksai3_ | my nickname and stuff | 04:33 |
| dr_Willis | amit anything begining with a . is hiden. see if the same files are in your home dir now | 04:33 |
| folklore | swedemike it showed some libs | 04:33 |
| amit | ok | 04:34 |
| SwedeMike | dr_Willis: ./ isn't the same as . | 04:34 |
| Golden | pfifo: for a lack of knowledge .. is uuid == to /dev/sdaX ? or is it a hardware id that will not change? if it's hwid i can see why that would be optimal to use.. | 04:34 |

| BitEncrypt | what is the best way to install lubuntu | 04:35 |
| folklore | swedemike are the libs it listed just what's required by it | 04:35 |
| folklore | or what's missing? | 04:35 |
| dr_Willis | amit then you deleted them. copy them from /etc/skel to your home dir if they are missing | 04:35 |
| SwedeMike | folklore: what's required, it'll show what's missing if anything is missing. | 04:35 |
| amit | ok | 04:35 |
| rmd_ | the default ubuntu system monitor seems to be a bit wonky | 04:35 |
| dr_Willis | Lubunbtu has its own cd/iso files you can use bitencrypt | 04:35 |
| BitEncrypt | thx | 04:36 |
| rmd_ | It says I'm using 20% cpu.. top says about 6%... | 04:36 |
| dr_Willis | or sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 04:36 |
| Golden | pfifo, cool thank you .. one more ? if i may .. when setting up my mdadm.conf can I use the uuids to define which drives go in which arrays? | 04:36 |
| dr_Willis | rnd_ check with htop | 04:36 |
| rmd_ | dr_Willis: Same | 04:37 |
| rmd_ | Same with top, that is | 04:37 |
| pfifo | Golden, the uuid files are actuall just symlinks to the actual device, they work interchangable but the uuid of a partition will not change | 04:37 |
| SwedeMike | Golden: mdadm should detects component drives if you give it the array uuid. | 04:37 |
| amit | dr_willis: i copy using this cp -r /etc/skel/. /home/String String is directory | 04:38 |
| amit | dr_willis: but not recovered | 04:38 |

| miketomdool | try esc | 04:44 |
| dr_Willis | live cd has some console logs on some of the displays. but im not eure what all it logs. | 04:44 |
| ratty | it is like it is just stuck | 04:44 |
| dr_Willis | ratty what is the video card? some have issues with the consoles | 04:45 |
| ratty | like geforce 4 | 04:45 |
| ratty | lol | 04:45 |
| dr_Willis | nvidia - has issues here.. | 04:45 |
| ratty | yeah that would explain it | 04:45 |
| Jonii^ | So, how do I make Ubuntu more like Amnesia? | 04:46 |
| ratty | dang, oh well | 04:46 |
| dr_Willis | it can often switch to the console. but it Looks like its still on X. so it seems stuck. you mayhave to do alt-ctrl-f7 to get back to the actual X dispolay | 04:46 |
| Jonii^ | Like, forgetting about what sort of stuff the user does? | 04:46 |
| linuxpusher | ratty, open terminal sudo showkeys will show if key press sucessful | 04:46 |
| ratty | linuxpusher, I can't open terminal is the issue | 04:46 |
| ratty | I can't get to console | 04:47 |
| sacarlson | is there a partition encryption method that uses an online key so if a system is stolen that you could just shutdown the keyserver for it to prevent access? | 04:47 |
| ratty | just stuck on the screen, the ctrl+alt+f's combos not working to reach console again | 04:47 |
| miketomdool | ratty on the end of the boot line of the live cd at the very begining add a "3" to the end of the boot parameter and it will go into text mode | 04:47 |
| dr_Willis | ratty you may want to boot the live cd - using the nomodeset option. (hit space when you see a man icon at biuttom of boot screen, then hit F6) | 04:47 |
| dr_Willis | ratty if you are stuck on the x display and it seems locked.. try each F key. and move mouse. one may getyou back. | 04:48 |
| pfifo | is ther e a way i can get my video card and cpu to generate lots of exccess heat on those cold winter nights? | 04:48 |
| dr_Willis | i hope this all gets worked out better in 11.04 | 04:48 |
| dr_Willis | pfifo run a benchmark tool | 04:49 |
| Jonii^ | <sacarlson> is there a partition encryption method that uses an online key so if a system is stolen that you could just shutdown the keyserver for it to prevent access? <- That would be equivalent of just copy-paste the pw to decrypt the system from a web server | 04:49 |
| dr_Willis | they have usb-powered heated blankets. | 04:49 |
| amit | dr_willis; i checked all is right now but still there is that problem | 04:49 |
| ratty | dr_Willis, Thanks, this is sufficent enough | 04:50 |
| gaelfx | what's an easy command to find out which version of a package is installed? (terminal) | 04:50 |
| pfifo | dr_Willis, do i have to install linux drivers for the vidoe card to benchmark it? | 04:50 |
| ratty | gaelfx, you should be able to run the program and do -v in console | 04:50 |
| ratty | or -V | 04:50 |
| miketomdool | dr_Willis is on FIRE!!! hes answering a lot of questions xD | 04:50 |
| pfifo | but he always does | 04:51 |
| miketomdool | oh... ok =P | 04:51 |
| pfifo | ive had atleast 3 stumpers that only he knew | 04:51 |
| Jonii^ | Oh, and, if someone knows why flash doesn't work, or how to make ubuntu not record what I'm doing with this OS, please tell | 04:51 |
| pfifo | Jonii^, all depends on what your trying to hide ;) | 04:52 |
| Jonii^ | pfifo, as much as possible | 04:52 |
| gaelfx | ratty: doesn't work for smplayer | 04:52 |
| dr_Willis | what is scary.. is im ircing from my Cellphone.. using the pc as a keyboard... | 04:52 |
| miketomdool | so you dont want it to create logs Jonii^ | 04:53 |
| dr_Willis | just got that working earlier today | 04:53 |
| sacarlson | Jonii^: yes that might be about it but an encrypted link to the webserver so nothing else could get the key or could even use it if they did | 04:53 |
| Jonii^ | Like, how to turn of as much automated, invisible recording about my activities as possible | 04:53 |
| Jonii^ | sacarlson, of course they could use it if they did | 04:53 |
| dr_Willis | I my have to leave at any time. if i get a real job from the boss to go do :) | 04:53 |
| dr_Willis | BRB. | 04:54 |
| Jonii^ | All they'd need to do would be to use that key to decrypt the system, or, face that the netserver still exists | 04:54 |
| Jonii^ | fake* | 04:54 |
| pfifo | dr_Willis, can you get me a job? | 04:54 |
| ratty | gaelfx, 1 sec | 04:54 |
| sacarlson | Jonii^: well with handshaking between the webserver as the client would send a random number to the server and the server would send an encrypted password for the client to decrypt and use as it's key | 04:54 |
| amit | how to make any encrypted password decrypt through terminal using command? | 04:54 |
| pfifo | amit, i bieleve your looking for 'gpg' no I cant explain it to you cause I dont use it often, youll have to ask google | 04:55 |
| Jonii^ | sacarlson, again, that sort of activity by netserver would be easy to reproduce by third party, if they just knew the key | 04:55 |
| amit | as for making encrypted password we use this echo "mypassword" | makepasswd --clearfrom=- --crypt-md5 |awk '{ print $2 | 04:55 |
| amit | so is there any command like this to make decrypt | 04:56 |
| pfifo | amit, there is no way to "decrypt the password" | 04:56 |
| amit | ? | 04:56 |
| Jonii^ | All that stands between those thiefes and your data is the strength of encryption and the fact that they don't know your password. | 04:56 |
| ratty | gaelfx, dpkg --list | grep smplayer | 04:56 |
| gaelfx | ratty: thanks! | 04:56 |
| sacarlson | Jonii^: well now you would have to break into two different physical sites to steel the informtion or at least that is the goal | 04:56 |
| ratty | gaelfx, Cheers! | 04:57 |
| Jonii^ | Netserver would make the login easier, but it would make your data a lot less protected | 04:57 |
| amit | pfifo: as we can make encrypted password using this echo "mypassword" | makepasswd --clearfrom=- --crypt-md5 |awk '{ print $2}' so i think there may be some to decrypt | 04:57 |
| Jonii^ | sacarlson, if you just input the password manually when you login, there wouldn't be any physical site where they could steal the information about your pw | 04:57 |
| pfifo | amit, MD5 is a NON-REVERSIBLE hash algorithm | 04:58 |
| amit | pfifo: oh sorry and thanx i mismind it | 04:58 |
| sacarlson | Jonii^: true but if the system needs to be rebooted I would prefer that it would come up without a human to enter a password | 04:58 |
| Golden | heres one .. having those 6 drives dedicated to raid only would i want to add them to fstab or just to mdadm.conf via uuid.. my thoughts are assemble array via mdadm.conf and add uuids of the /dev/mdX devices to fstab because i woul not need to mount those disks until they are a coherent array .. mounting them individually would probably cause the array assembley to fails because they wouldbe in use right? | 04:58 |
| Jonii^ | sacarlson, yeah. For that, I think there could be encryption systems where you could store your password on a usb stick, and just plug that stick in to open the encryption | 04:59 |
| Jonii^ | Not sure though. I'm kinda searching for that sort of system myself, too | 05:00 |
| dr_Willis | ive seen articals oin doing that jonii^ never tried it | 05:00 |
| pfifo | sacarlson, Jonii^ yes, gpg supports that exact functionality | 05:00 |
| amit | is there any way to use 64bit OS on virtual box using 32 bit hardware? | 05:00 |
| sacarlson | Jonii^: yes I've seen the usb stick method I was just thinking why not just keep the usbstick online | 05:00 |
| dr_Willis | bye all - bbl. | 05:01 |
| pfifo | amit, yep, you just have to find a virtual machine that is designed for running 64bit software | 05:01 |
| sacarlson | Jonii^: and if your supper peranoid why not have a human and or usbstick and an online key? | 05:02 |
| amit | pfifo: ok i'll try | 05:02 |
| gaelfx | I just added motumedia's mplayer ppa to my repos, but apt-get upgrade held the package back, is there any way to figure out why it held it back? | 05:02 |
| pfifo | Jonii^, dont use biometrecs, if they are desprate to get your data you could lose a finger or an eye ;) | 05:02 |
| lrc04 | Star | 05:03 |
| amit | thanx all | 05:03 |
| sacarlson | Jonii^: as you have at a bank with a safety deposit box 2 or more keys and your name and or signature must match | 05:03 |
| pfifo | texas | 05:03 |
| Jonii^ | Because of the additional security problems it creates and difficulty of setting such system up(especially in a reliable manner), my strong guess would be that you'd need to build that sort of web decrypt -service from scratch | 05:03 |
| jordan_ | need help with conky! trying to change the color of the cpubar | 05:04 |
| sacarlson | Jonii^: well that's why I had hopes someone had already done it with a working model, but I guess I could | 05:05 |
| Jonii^ | Is it possible to use both usb encryption key _and_ a password? | 05:05 |
| pfifo | sacarlson, I have done full disk encryption with losetup in my gentoo days, it was a major headache. | 05:05 |
| jordan_ | hypatia, you back yet | 05:06 |
| sacarlson | Jonii^: standard aea encryption needs two keys anyway | 05:06 |
| hd1 | hmm.... is there a ppa containing squirrel-sql? | 05:06 |
| Jonii^ | sacarlson, but usually programs ask you only for one pw, right? | 05:06 |
| sacarlson | pfifo: well I just setup a full disk encryption system in less than 2 hours in ubuntu with the present 10.10, so that's not as hard anymore | 05:07 |

| Nacht_ | tucemiux, searched the forums already and tried the advice I could find. didn't work. And no, my machine was hosed form a fresh cd install... | 05:36 |
| Jonii^ | sacarlson, that tutorial seems to be for someone who is only about to install ubuntu | 05:36 |
| tucemiux | Nacht_, what version of ubuntu youre trying and what type of machine you have: brand/model | 05:36 |
| alisalaah | Ubuntu 10.10 -- Port 8080 required by STS TC Server is already in use. The server may already be running in another process, or a system process may be using the port. To start this server you will need to stop the other process or change the port number(s). | 05:37 |
| baxilisk | hi | 05:37 |
| alisalaah | But netstat -pandu | grep :8080 shows nothing | 05:37 |
| alisalaah | and ive rebooted | 05:37 |
| jordan_ | What does the SWAP file do??????/// | 05:37 |
| sacarlson | Jonii^: well the line of interest to me is this one sudo cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 luksFormat ${CRYPTDISK} /dev/shm/master.key | 05:37 |

| sacarlson | Jonii^: mind you I havn't played with this part yet | 05:40 |
| jordan_ | alisalaah, sooooooooooo it partitions off a portion of the hdd | 05:40 |

| nillerz | The joystick I have doesn't get recognized and put at /dev/input/js0 | 05:40 |
| blah | I just installed a new stick of memory in a netbook and i can't start windows or ubuntu off a live usb | 05:41 |
| nillerz | Is there any way to make it js0? | 05:41 |
| jordan_ | alisalaah, lol whats the difference between a swap file and swap partition | 05:41 |
| Nacht_ | tucemiux, using an nvidia geforce 6100 SE nforce 430 | 05:41 |
| jordan_ | alisalaah, if the swap partition houses the swap file and swap file only then whats the point of a swap file | 05:41 |
| Nacht_ | tucemix, it's listed in the supported products under the driver listing on the nvidia website | 05:41 |
| jordan_ | i was really only asking cause conky has it as a guage on its bar and i got to thinking why do i care how much swap is avaiable!!! | 05:42 |
| tucemiux | Nacht_, you can get into a terminal? | 05:42 |
| nillerz | So my joystick is being assigned a generic usb driver | 05:42 |
| Nacht_ | tucemiux, in the terminal on the offending machine now. | 05:43 |
| ssmoot | I'm trying to automate the mysql-server install. I can use debconf-set-selections to do so and it works fine if I pass a password. I want the standard blank password though, and I can't figure out how to pass "blank" to debconf-set-selections. Any advice? | 05:43 |
| tucemiux | Nacht_, try reconfiguring x | 05:43 |
| alisalaah | you need a partition to house a file | 05:43 |
| jordan_ | whats a house file | 05:44 |
| alisalaah | but the file can only be as big as its partition | 05:44 |
| jordan_ | o | 05:44 |
| Nacht_ | tucemiux, i'm not exactly a terminal wizard... what command would I use to do that. | 05:44 |
| alisalaah | jordan_, a partition is a designation of space on th hdd, a file is a file.. that lives within it's partition. | 05:44 |
| jordan_ | i guess the gist of the question would be why would i need to monitor it | 05:44 |
| amit | ca ni upgrade my 32bit os to 64 bit | 05:44 |
| tucemiux | Nacht_, basically -- youre going to reconfigure X so that you have a GUI -- then you install the nVidia drivers: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-to-reconfigure-x-windows-system-xorg-server/ | 05:44 |
| dhiren | Hi guys, I tried adding a gnome applet but due to some error it wasn't showing up, however when I look into the gconf-editor I see there are several nodes for this particular applet, but there is no way for me to delete those keys from within gconf-editor, can someone tell me some alternate way of doing the same ? | 05:45 |
| alisalaah | jordan_, your OS should monitor it, it will use RAM + SWAP = Virtual Memory | 05:45 |
| jordan_ | alisalaah, like i have a 2.5GB swap i think | 05:45 |
| Nacht_ | tucemiux, thanks I'll try that | 05:45 |
| tucemiux | Nacht_, no problem, good night! | 05:45 |
| alisalaah | jordan_, if you have 2GB RAM + 2.5GB SWAP = 4.5GB of active memory for processing tasks and such | 05:45 |
| alisalaah | active/virtual* | 05:45 |
| ssmoot | I can fix it by setting the password to "password" and then running: mysqladmin -u root --password=password password '', but that just seems silly... | 05:45 |
| jordan_ | on the conky monitoring tool it displays the swap usage, was wondering how important is it for me to know that info | 05:45 |
| === aknm is now known as monk | ||
| jordan_ | ive got 4 gb of real ram | 05:46 |
| amit | i am using ubuntu of 32 bit.is there any metod to upgrade it to 64 bit | 05:46 |
| jordan_ | alisalaah, so my 4gb ram +2.5Gb swap gives me 6.5 ish GB of virtual memory | 05:47 |
| alisalaah | jordan_, if you run out of Virtual Memory it can crash or at least be very sluggish, because there will be no "cachable memory" to support the software that is running. You can increase the VM by increasing SWAP... i doubt Ubuntu will crash easily but the performance would dive | 05:47 |
| Nacht_ | tucemiux, just tried it. No response. The on screen prompts that should have showed up didn't. Kinda strange... | 05:47 |
| jordan_ | alisalaah, think im good up to that part, just wondering how important is it for me to know its state | 05:47 |
| blah | when i try to run ubuntu off the live usb the purple screen shows up and then the screen goes black | 05:47 |
| alisalaah | jordan_, i know i will never use my 1TB HDD so i made ~24GB SWAP file | 05:48 |
| blah | i just installed new memory. the same thing happens in windows (i am able to boot into safe mode, however) | 05:48 |
| gwz | Hey, I seem to be having a problem "no root filesystem defined" when using wubi, anyone have any idea? | 05:48 |
| jordan_ | wow | 05:48 |
| alisalaah | but i will be doing a lot of server stuff on this computer, as well as developing and compiling on it... compiling can eat some memory so | 05:48 |
| jordan_ | alisalaah, my htpc is running off a 32GB ssd | 05:48 |
| alisalaah | i just figured.. i have 1000 GB i'll probably use 200-300 so why not exaggerate the SWAP file | 05:48 |
| alisalaah | ill never use that much | 05:49 |
| jordan_ | lol | 05:49 |
| alisalaah | but the possibility of me using 980gb on my hdd is next to none | 05:49 |
| jordan_ | alisalaah, really I filled up my first 2 TB drive | 05:49 |
| jordan_ | i have a second still to go | 05:49 |
| alisalaah | so i exaggerated with the swap to make sure i have tons of VM for compiling server data and crunching a couple gb of stuff | 05:49 |
| Jonii^ | But, now I'd need to find out what's killing flash on my ubuntu | 05:50 |
| usr13_ | Jonii^: What's happening? | 05:50 |
| tucemiux | Nacht_, you mean you tried reconfiguring X?? Or you cant get into a terminal? | 05:50 |
| jordan_ | alisalaah, is 2.5GB swap much? | 05:50 |
| sabboo | I should have asked this in here before. I have a linksys pci card and cant do ubuntu. Where can I find a list of cards that ubuntu will be able to use from a fresh install? | 05:50 |
| alisalaah | jordan_, should be sufficient with 4gb ram | 05:50 |
| Jonii^ | Like, is this common? I'm listening music from youtube, I close a firefox tab window, and then all the youtube tabs have their video disappear | 05:50 |
| alisalaah | jordan_, i have 4gb ram and ive never used my swap memory yet that i know of... but i havent pushed my comp yet | 05:51 |
| Nacht_ | tucemiux, tried to reconfigure x. | 05:51 |
| jordan_ | alisalaah, speaking of servers, i have ubuntu on my server as well, it has a 64GB SSD though, what do u think i should make its swap | 05:51 |
| alisalaah | you only use SWAP (usually) when RAM is full... well i should say you only use noticable amounts iirc... though i could be wrong on that | 05:51 |
| Jonii^ | It turns into gray-brownish blank rectangle that is completely inresponsive. Only thing I can then do is manually refresh every firefox tab that had something flash-related open | 05:51 |
| sabboo | and what is that blasted virtual machine emulator called? | 05:51 |
| jordan_ | ahh | 05:51 |
| alisalaah | I'm not a pro linux guru but I've always atleast equaled my swap to my ram | 05:51 |
| alisalaah | well usually i exactly equal the two | 05:52 |
| alisalaah | so 4gb + 4gb etc | 05:52 |
| alisalaah | 2.5 should be adequate tho | 05:52 |
| jordan_ | ah | 05:52 |
| jordan_ | food for thought | 05:52 |
| alisalaah | especially since Linux doesnt use much ram at idle | 05:52 |

| bajk-tragbar | hey, what do I need to do to enable "Device Power Saving"? If I run powertop on my notebook, it consumes like 14W and then it says "Suggestion: Enable Device Power Saving Managment by pressing the P key" and then mostly it goes down to 9W | 05:57 |

| jordan_ | alisalaah, like in your case have your laptop monitor the load of your server pc | 05:58 |
| Madpilot | Jonii^, after you start firefox in the terminal by typing "firefox" you'll get output to the terminal while firfox starts (or tries to start) | 05:58 |

| jordan_ | alisalaah, I read on the link u sent me that it might not be as good of an idea to establish a swap or as high of of a swap with SSD hard drives | 06:00 |
| Madpilot | Jonii^, keep it running, try the Youtube/close tab thing you get the flash error doing, and see if anything gets output to terminal by way of an error msg | 06:00 |

| Tempus_Fugit | thinking about switching to Ubuntu Studio.....not sure if it will change much but it looks pretty cool | 07:03 |
| rww | !clone | 07:03 |
| 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 | 07:03 |

| MACscr | hateball: lets say my / has 20 directories in it. I just want to list those 20 directories and the total storage used within them (it should list the storage total of its children as well, but obviously i dont need a list of those directory names). Does that make sense? | 07:08 |

| zeleftikam | anybody have experience with command-line BOINC on Ubuntu? #boinc is absolutely no help (been trying to get help there for 3 days) | 07:12 |
| Alestan | you have a cronjob? | 07:12 |
| trevor | why does libreoffice 3.3 from the ppa look like win 95 when i have the default ambiance theme installed? | 07:13 |
| JeffCBR | !ask | 07:13 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 07:13 |
| nixjr | Alestan, i deselected all other devices in the preferences except the /, baobab is showing it as 93% full | 07:14 |
| j3r1ch0 | zele I use terminal and guake terminal for commands. guake = <3 | 07:14 |
| Alestan | and if you expand / do the numbers add up properly? If so, I'd chase down your growing files with it. | 07:15 |

| zeleftikam | JeffCBR≥ well i didn't know if it was appropriate to ask questions about software that runs on Ubuntu rather than Ubuntu itself here, so i thought i'd try to check before throwing something out that might be off topic... | 07:15 |
| nixjr | nope they dont add up at all | 07:16 |
| Alestan | what version of ubuntu? | 07:16 |
| MACscr | Alestan: its probably the firewall script | 07:17 |
| nixjr | 10.04 | 07:17 |
| Alestan | interesting, i'm having the problem with 8.04 | 07:17 |
| Alestan | zeleftikam people aren't likely to get mad at you for asking for specific application help, but you're also not extremely likely to get an answer, unless it is an application lots of people use. | 07:18 |
| zeleftikam | right | 07:18 |
| voidmage | any ideas why my internal hard drive is showing up in nautilus like it's an external hard drive, complete with eject icon? | 07:19 |
| Alestan | MACscr what's probably the firewall script? | 07:19 |
| Alestan | voidmage because it isn't the primary drive maybe? | 07:19 |
| MACscr | my issue with the /var/mail/root being large | 07:19 |
| zeleftikam | so anyway, I can't get a BOINC client on 10.10 command-line to get work from a project manager (bam.boincstats.com) it connects to it, but no work is given to the client | 07:19 |
| Alestan | ah, that makes sense | 07:19 |
| Alestan | the eject icon is actually just an unmount icon. | 07:20 |
| auro | wait. | 07:20 |
| usr13_ | MACscr: You just need to delete your email | 07:20 |

| MACscr | usr13_: of course. I need to figure out whats causing the problem in the first place though. Which im investigating now | 07:20 |
| voidmage | OH | 07:21 |
| voidmage | it's because the mountpoint is under $home | 07:21 |
| nixjr | Alestan, heres a SS incase youre curious, note the "used: 67.9 GB" and the total / size "8.6 GB" http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/2830/baobab.jpg | 07:21 |
| voidmage | that's stupid | 07:21 |
| Alestan | nixjr do you have postgres installed by any chance? | 07:21 |
| usr13_ | MACscr: Read some of the last emails and see... | 07:21 |
| ghm33 | not sure if this is a pidgin question: i wanna stop those upper right corner messages whenever a contact logs in their IM. how? | 07:22 |
| MACscr | usr13_: yeah, i know that. I wasnt asking for help on that. Was just explaining why i was looking for the commands to find out the total storage of the parent directories in /. Which i figured out. Thanks though | 07:22 |
| usr13_ | MACscr: But if this is a Ubuntu system, why do you have /var/mail/root ? | 07:22 |
| greppy | ghm33: not sure of the exact spot, I'm not on my desktop atm, but it should be a setting in pidgin preferences. | 07:22 |
| ghm33 | greppy: tried everything really. even in preferences > broadcast preferences, cant find the freaking thing | 07:23 |
| nixjr | Alestan, forgive my very newbish comments, i dont belive i have it installed but according to synaptic i do have somehting called libpq5 | 07:23 |
| greppy | ghm33: doh, sorry, I can't double check it right now :( | 07:23 |
| Alestan | nope, not the same, I'm just looking a bit to see if there is something in common between your system and mine, since we both have mysteriously vanishing disk space. | 07:24 |
| ghm33 | sok | 07:24 |
| usr13_ | MACscr: To my way of thinking, /var/mail/root should not even exist on a Ubuntu system. Right? | 07:25 |
| dimmortal | ghm33: libnotifypopups plugin | 07:25 |
| nixjr | Alestan, its gone down about 50mb since i started talking to you lol | 07:25 |
| Alestan | Yup, I've lost 20. | 07:25 |
| ghm33 | ok | 07:25 |
| Alestan | I think if you grab the mail processing packages from the debian repositories it might create /var/mail/. | 07:26 |
| Alestan | shrike: 'If you delete a file, you don't actually get the space back until all the programs using it close it...' | 07:26 |
| ghm33 | i unchecked it. thank you! dimmortal | 07:26 |
| dimmortal | np :) | 07:26 |
| Alestan | anyone know how to check space used by open files? | 07:26 |
| ylmf | hello | 07:27 |
| amh345 | hi guys. my wireless keeps disconnecting and i cant figure out why. ubuntu server 10.10. i also just installed ubuntu-desktop as i read this sometimes helps.... no dice :( | 07:27 |
| usr13_ | Alestan: Open files? | 07:27 |
| Alestan | if you open a file for editing, and then delete it from the disk without closing it, you don't get the space back until your editor closes. | 07:28 |
| amh345 | it's perpetually connecting and disconnecting.. and moving very very slow. | 07:28 |
| Alestan | I am wondering if that has something to do with it. | 07:28 |
| Alestan | nixjr you might try rebooting and see what the disk space used says | 07:29 |
| nixjr | Alestan, how long has your system been up? i ask because i wonder if that mysterious figure of 128tb for /proc is related, my system has been up 28 days | 07:30 |
| voidmage | there we go, moved the mount point to /mnt instead of under $HOME | 07:30 |
| voidmage | much better, and won't accidentally unmount it | 07:30 |
| amh345 | anyone? | 07:30 |
| Alestan | mine's been up 2 days, but it is a data intensive psql server (handles several gigs a day) | 07:30 |
| semaj | hello everyone | 07:31 |
| saini | X11/xlib.h not found problem | 07:31 |
| Alestan | I'm running a program for ext3 filesystems to clear up files that are using more blocks than needed to see if that helps | 07:31 |
| heron_Marked | amh345, what's your setup? | 07:31 |
| Alestan | when that finishes I'll reboot. | 07:31 |
| amh345 | heron_Marked: 10.10 server. just installed ubuntu-dekstop hoping it would help. same result as terminal though. connections are made and dropped. huge packet loss. what else. wpa2.. ive got wpa_supplicant configured... although im not sure it's totally correct. | 07:32 |
| semaj | anyone know how to enter a secure (work) network to check e-mail from home? | 07:32 |
| saini | X11/Xutil not found | 07:32 |
| ugmg | hi , i have slow internet , can i update my Userver offline by downloading all the package | 07:33 |
| amh345 | heron_Marked: also, it's a sony vaio laptop. i had this working perfectly the otherday.. then i did a reformat and havent been able to get it working since. | 07:33 |
| heron_Marked | amh345, did you check to ensure your wireless card is on the list of compatible cards. | 07:34 |
| ugmg | any suggestion !!!!!! | 07:34 |
| nixjr | Alestan, i hate resorting to a restart >.< | 07:34 |
| amh345 | heron_Marked: i havent checked. but it does work. | 07:34 |
| amit | my file manager is not opening? | 07:34 |
| saini | X11/Xlib.h not found problem | 07:34 |
| semaj | umug: have you restarted the router? | 07:34 |
| amit | how to recover this problem? | 07:34 |
| Alestan | what filesystem are you using? | 07:35 |
| amit | nautilius | 07:35 |
| usr13_ | amit run it from terminal | 07:35 |
| heron_Marked | amh345, are you sure it's your card? How's the access point? | 07:35 |
| ugmg | can i do offline update to my ubuntu server by downloading update cd or all the package without apt-get update used | 07:36 |
| usr13_ | amit run it from terminal and see what it says. | 07:36 |
| amit | don't understood run from terminal? | 07:36 |
| amh345 | heron_Marked: iwconfig shows the macaddress for the router. | 07:36 |
| heron_Marked | amh345, you can try shutting down your networking card and booting it back up again "/etc/init.d/networking stop | start" and "/etc/init.d/wicd start | stop | 07:37 |
| usr13_ | ugmg: You are still going to have to download a lot of files either way so I don't see how you would save any time. | 07:37 |
| amh345 | heron_Marked: link quality is only 47/70.. but that shouldnt make this kind of diference | 07:37 |
| Alestan | nixjr if you're running an ext4 filesystem you might try a defrag, if you're running ext3 i've got a shake program you could try | 07:37 |
| usr13_ | amit: Open a terminal and type nautilus and hit enter. | 07:38 |
| Alestan | i'm running it now and it is failing to access all sorts of files, | 07:38 |
| nixjr | Alestan, i didnt think modern filesystems needed defragging | 07:38 |
| usr13_ | Alestan: defrag? | 07:38 |
| nixjr | i must say ive nevre done it | 07:38 |
| ugmg | usr13_, i wont to do that because i have a proble with apt-get-update aptitude update they give strange error like i can't fetching from us.archiv....... or old index file | 07:38 |
| semaj | amit: go to accessories and then terminal. Enter the command nautilus | 07:39 |
| amit | usr13: oh u meant thi ok this says | 07:39 |
| amh345 | heron_Marked: sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop returned the following.. "postconf: fatal: .etc.postfix/main.cfg no suck file dir along with RTNETLINK answers :No such process and SIODELRT :no such process | 07:39 |

| Alestan | usr13_ normally they don't, but once in a while things can go amiss. | 07:40 |
| mickster04 | hey guys, i think installing vlc gives me this error 403 http://paste.ubuntu.com/571574/ | 07:40 |
| Alestan | I believe ext4 has defrag support. | 07:40 |
| mickster04 | i dunno why it's forbidden tho:/ | 07:40 |
| ugmg | usr13_, let me paste the error wait sec | 07:40 |
| heron_Marked | amh345, can you try "/etc/init.d/networking restart" | 07:41 |
| amit | ???? | 07:41 |
| usr13_ | Alestan: But those things, (if there are any), get taken care of when rebooting. I don't think there is a "defrag" application. There's fsck but no defrag. (or not that I know of anyway). | 07:42 |
| nixjr | im not sure howto defrag but i did just try fsck, but ti wanred me to close the program since my / is mounted | 07:42 |
| mickster04 | !defrag | 07:42 |
| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 07:42 |
| Alestan | e4defrag is a program that can do it. | 07:43 |
| usr13_ | mickster04: Thank you. | 07:43 |
| mickster04 | why bother defraggin ext4? | 07:43 |
| amh345 | heron_Marked: /restart/ gave the same errors as before.. but also adding ssh stop/waiting and ssh start/running, process 6029 then ssh/stop/start shows again with process 6114 and wireless is still dropping in and out. | 07:43 |
| usr13_ | !e4defrag | 07:43 |
| heron_Marked | amh345, you're getting an error. I don't know what that means. A similar problem had the solution to do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix" and that apparently fixed it. You want to give that a try? | 07:43 |
| Alestan | (you generally only need to defrag ext3/ext4 filesystems when they are 95% full or more. | 07:43 |
| heron_Marked | amh345, I got that from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519519 | 07:43 |
| saini | X11/Xlib.h not found problem | 07:43 |
| nixjr | im just following Alestan's lead, havnt heard any other suggestions yet | 07:43 |
| Alestan | Heh, if someone else has a better suggestion, I'd love to hear it. | 07:45 |
| mickster04 | Alestan: why defrag the ext4? | 07:45 |
| usr13_ | Alestan: Not sure where you got this defrag info but when a system is full, it would be sure enough out of the question. Something like that would have needed to be done way before that happens. | 07:45 |
| amh345 | heron_Marked: same error re: postfix. i tihnk im jsut going to reinstall this thing. this is too much. but i have a question. is there a way i can backup the pkgs i've downloaded so i dont have to download them again? wpa_supplicant and ubuntu-desktop are what i'd like to throw on a key | 07:45 |
| usr13_ | Alestan: What you need to do is free up disk space. Right? | 07:46 |
| Alestan | The problem is that both nixjr and I each have a computer that is losing disk space into the never-never. | 07:46 |
| Alestan | baobab and du for me claim that the 30 GB disk has 19 gig used | 07:46 |
| heron_Marked | amh345, I don't know of something direct. Someone mentioned a program called "Remaster" or similar earlier, but I don't know if that would do it or not. | 07:46 |
| Alestan | baobab and df both claim the disk is 99% full. | 07:47 |
| Alestan | Where did the other 11 and a half gig go? | 07:47 |
| usr13_ | Alestan: You need to do some detective work. | 07:47 |
| amit | no ans? | 07:47 |
| Alestan | and the blocks free showed by df is going down semi steadily. | 07:47 |
| nixjr | usr13_, the "used 67.9gb" and "8.6 gb" seem contradictory http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/2830/baobab.jpg | 07:47 |
| usr13_ | Alestan: sudo fdisk -l ; du -sk * | sort -n <will list by file sizes, largest last> | 07:48 |
| heron_Marked | 07:48 | |
| usr13_ | ls -lS |grep ^d <will show directories sorted by size> | 07:48 |
| Alestan | I have been doing some detective work, the latest bit being running a defrag, which promptly said it couldn't access a whole long list of files. | 07:48 |
| usr13_ | Alestan: What type of filesystem? vfat or what? | 07:48 |

| heron_Marked | jeffmr, I had a similar problem earlier. I found that the MD5 hashsum was off and the ISO I downloaded was missing files. I re-downloaded, verified the MD5 was good and then reinstalled and it worked perfectly. | 07:52 |
| jeffmr | how do I check the hash? | 07:53 |

| mickster04 | Lasse1: double click it mayb? | 08:21 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: who are you asking ? | 08:21 |
| Lasse1 | all :D | 08:21 |
| mickster04 | ndxtg: you can uninstall grub23 and install grub | 08:21 |
| mickster04 | grub2* | 08:21 |
| ndxtg | mickster04: oh really? that's great, thank you :D | 08:21 |
| mickster04 | ndxtg: investigate it | 08:22 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: OIC :-) ...well there is a tool called gmountiso which is good for that ...simply create a folder where you want the .iso file mounted...and use gmountiso, to mount it on that location. | 08:22 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx: i wont to do it trough terminal | 08:22 |
| scriptwarlock | Lasse1, theres is what we call archive mounter in ubuntu if you right click the iso file | 08:23 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx: do u know how to do his?? | 08:23 |
| Alestan | nixjr okay, I'd try running a fsck read only and see what it finds for filesystem errors | 08:23 |
| silverlightning | so nobody every had trouble with booting up to a white screen ? | 08:23 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: yes .... mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk ... you may have to provide the format for the iso file | 08:24 |
| Alestan | I just got to running that and it found lots of missing empty space. | 08:24 |
| mickster04 | ndxtg: not sure why'd you want to tho:/ | 08:24 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: where '/mnt/disk' is your folder, where your pointing point is ...and 'disk1.iso' is your iso-file. | 08:26 |
| ikonia | silverlightning: what video card do you have ? | 08:26 |
| ndxtg | mickster04: I'm gonna build a commercial software system based on ubuntu and I just like to reduce the unnecessary stuffs to make sure everything is fine | 08:26 |
| silverlightning | ikonia, the bad one | 08:26 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: *pointing= mounting point | 08:26 |
| ikonia | silverlightning: which one ? | 08:26 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx: so disk is my mount point? | 08:27 |
| silverlightning | ikonia, that is the vga controller? | 08:27 |
| ikonia | silverlightning: it's a VGA controller yes | 08:28 |
| mickster04 | ndxtg: not sure using grub is a sensible choice concidering the whole support issues you will account soon | 08:28 |
| ikonia | silverlightning: you must know what video card you have if you call it the bad one | 08:28 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: '/mnt/disk' is an example of a mounting point ...you could also place it in the /media/ -folder ...commonly used in Ubuntu | 08:28 |
| silverlightning | Radeon RC410 something | 08:28 |
| silverlightning | i am trying to find exact | 08:29 |
| mickster04 | ndxtg: considering* | 08:29 |
| ikonia | silverlightning: ok, that's not helpful, however the fact that it is an ATI card does explain why you are seeing these problems | 08:29 |
| zeleftikam | help: http://pastebin.com/wjBEURp3 | 08:29 |
| ikonia | silverlightning: when you see the white screen, is that on an system that's already installed or when running from the livecd ? | 08:29 |
| nixjr | Alestan, i cant because its / and its mounted | 08:29 |
| ndxtg | mickster04: oh... im familiar with grub and no idea/no time to learn grub2 so... just try to utilise everything :) | 08:29 |
| silverlightning | ikonia, fully installed system lubuntu | 08:29 |
| ikonia | zeleftikam: your system has been mounted read only, reboot and see if it fsck's it and mounts it read/write | 08:30 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx: so example, mount -o loop enterprise2007.iso /mnt/media/? | 08:30 |
| pawel__ | hello | 08:30 |
| zeleftikam | ikonia≥ it's a rackspace slice | 08:30 |
| ikonia | silverlightning: you may need to try to force it to use the low quality "vesa" Xorg video drivers | 08:30 |
| mickster04 | ndxtg: that is a fair arguement | 08:30 |
| silverlightning | I have tried to load all ATI drivers I can find, | 08:30 |
| zeleftikam | ikonia≥ i tried rebooting | 08:30 |
| k4g6 | sup | 08:30 |
| Alestan | That's why I suggested read only. | 08:30 |
| silverlightning | I see | 08:30 |
| ikonia | zeleftikam: can you show me the output of "uname -" please on that machine | 08:30 |
| zeleftikam | ikonia≥ uname: extra operand `-' | 08:31 |
| ikonia | zeleftikam: uname -a (sorry) | 08:31 |
| silverlightning | ikonia, I have no idea what drivers and changes I have done | 08:31 |
| zeleftikam | Linux development 2.6.35.4-rscloud #8 SMP Mon Sep 20 15:54:33 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 08:31 |
| Alestan | nixjr running it with -n will prevent it from making changes, so it won't break anything. | 08:31 |
| ikonia | silverlightning: then I would suggest a clean install to go back to a normal known version | 08:31 |
| silverlightning | I see | 08:31 |
| Alestan | If it finds errors then you tell it to flag the filesystem as dirty and reboot. | 08:31 |
| Alestan | (make a backup first) | 08:31 |
| ikonia | zeleftikam: ok, so it's a modified version of ubuntu, you need to contact rackspace to ask them for support as they may have locked /var for a reason | 08:31 |
| zeleftikam | ikonia≥ i mess around with /var/www/ all the time | 08:32 |
| silverlightning | ikonia, it looks like the booting process is normal, except for the white screen | 08:32 |
| ikonia | zeleftikam: it's "their" version of the distro so they will have to support it | 08:32 |
| ikonia | zeleftikam: ok, it's their version of the distro, they will have to support it | 08:32 |
| zeleftikam | and have used aptitude to install and remove things before | 08:32 |
| zeleftikam | ok | 08:32 |
| zeleftikam | D: | 08:32 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: no ... Step 1: Choose a folder where you want to create a subfolder, that will become your mounting-point (usualle EITHER a) /mnt/ or b) /media/ ... Step 2: Create a subfolder in your selected folder .... Step 3: Mount the iso file to the full path of your newly created subfolder | 08:32 |
| ikonia | silverlightning: that doesn't change what I've said | 08:32 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx: i dont understand sry | 08:33 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: which step ? | 08:33 |
| zeleftikam | ikonia≥ it doesn't even work if i login as root :/ | 08:33 |
| ikonia | zeleftikam: what part of "it's their distribution, they support it" am I not making clear ? | 08:33 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx: can u make the full command-line for me? my iso.file is in downloads, name enterprise2007 | 08:34 |
| amit | can ii use 64bit os as m using processor core2 duo | 08:34 |
| amit | ? | 08:34 |
| ikonia | amit: sure can | 08:34 |
| amit | ikonia: plz explain how to is there is no problem | 08:34 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: no :-) ...listen up ... Step 1: make a choice ...so you have to make a choice... either a or b ...let's start with that | 08:34 |
| ikonia | amit: it's a 64bit cpu, so you can use a 64bit version of ubuntu | 08:34 |
| amit | ikonia: core 2 duo is 64 bit | 08:35 |
| amit | ? | 08:35 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx: where shall i make the subfolder? where i wont it? | 08:35 |
| amit | ikonia: m using 32bit os now | 08:35 |
| ndxtg | ... | 08:35 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx: want | 08:35 |
| ikonia | amit: yes | 08:36 |
| mickster04 | amit: that's ok the bigger number is usually backward compatible | 08:36 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Anyone know a way to add sound effects to cli?? | 08:36 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: you can make it wherever you want ...however as a convention, usually mounting-points are created in either /mnt/ or /media/ | 08:36 |
| darolu | amit: yes core 2 duo is 64-bit, read wikipedia article if you like; you can run both 32-bit or 64-bit OS, 64-bit would take full advante of your hardware. | 08:36 |
| amit | thanx all | 08:37 |
| gaelfx | kinky | 08:37 |
| zeleftikam | ikonia≥ i know you don't care and would rather be an asshole than help but here is what it says on the console: http://pastebin.com/8xhjeZCw | 08:37 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | I would think it would be adding a variable | 08:37 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx: now i have maked a subfolder at home/media | 08:37 |
| amit | can i use both 32 bit and 64 bit os in dual boot | 08:37 |
| amit | ? | 08:37 |
| Raj007 | Why would you want to do that amit? | 08:38 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amit: i don't see why not...if your hardware supports it | 08:38 |
| nixjr | amit, i believe so, in dual boot they wont know about each other | 08:38 |
| Raj007 | question - What's the terminal command i can give to log out of my X session ? | 08:38 |
| Raj007 | Not CTRL-ALT-Backspace , i need to configure my cairo-dock | 08:38 |
| ikonia | Raj007: you can't log out of your X session from the terminal, you can kill your whole xession though | 08:38 |
| amit | as i want to rum redhat of 64bit with my ubuntu 32bit | 08:38 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: ok ...unusual... but ok ... the you have an .iso file and a mounting-point ...so, now you mount....using the command line I gave you (replacing it with your info of course) | 08:39 |
| darolu | amit: yes you can have a double head system with 32 and 64 bits | 08:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amit: if you did a dual boot, it you choose one of them, then the other one is just seen as a partition not being used. sudo fdisk -l will show the unused partition | 08:39 |
| amit | daroula: thanx | 08:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | *if | 08:39 |
| amit | thanx | 08:39 |
| ikonia | amit: running dual linux distribtuions with ubuntu using grub2 is not an easy task due to the way it works and conflicts with other distros' grubs | 08:39 |
| Lasse1 | Coraxx: can u make it for me? | 08:39 |
| ikonia | amit: I would strongly advise you to keep both distros on seperate physical disks | 08:39 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amit: ikonia is right...learn how to reinstall grub before trying this | 08:40 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | *grub 2 | 08:40 |
| Raj007 | ikonia : Ok kill the session with a command? Which would be? | 08:40 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: then you would need to send me the absolute path to your enterprise2007.iso file | 08:40 |
| amit | thanx | 08:40 |
| ikonia | Raj007: ps -ef | grep grep X then kill -11 the pid of the X session | 08:40 |
| amit | can u plz give me some link where can i learn grub? | 08:40 |
| nixjr | ikonia, im only a noob but would "init 3" log out X? | 08:40 |
| ikonia | nixjr: no, not in ubuntu as X runs at run level 2 | 08:40 |
| nixjr | oh k sorry | 08:40 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx:home/lasse/downloads/enterprise2007.iso | 08:40 |
| darolu | amit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 08:41 |
| amit | thanx | 08:41 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: the easy way is sudo top or sudo killall X (and hit tab a couple of times) | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Raj007: or you can stop the gdm process which will shut down X all together | 08:41 |
| ikonia | nixjr: it would work on other systems, eg: redhat | 08:41 |
| cast | what would stopping gdm do? | 08:41 |
| Raj007 | ikonia: argg that won't help. See i'm trying to configure cairo-dock. I removed all the panels and want to be able to "click" (runs a command) to logout | 08:41 |
| darolu | amit: also search the ubuntu forums, there is a fantastic post there | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Raj007: you can't do that | 08:41 |
| amit | darolu:thanx | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Raj007: the log out button is what that is for | 08:41 |
| ikonia | Raj007: you just click the "log out" button and it will do that | 08:41 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cast: stopping gdm is a great way to generate a new Xorg.conf...well back in the old days | 08:42 |
| amarin | hello i need help | 08:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cast: gdm should kill X | 08:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | too | 08:42 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: sudo mount -o loop /home/lasse/Downloads/enterprise2007.iso /home/media | 08:42 |
| ikonia | Us3r_Unfriendly: stopping gdm does not generate an xorg.conf | 08:42 |
| === oxodesign_ is now known as oxodesign | ||
| amarin | somebody help me? I have problem with setting DNS to update ip. | 08:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ikonia: nope but in order to create it you have to kill gdm in order to kill X as well. Other wise after killing X, gdm will restart X | 08:43 |
| Raj007 | ikonia: yeah but i don't have that button anymore - removed the panels. argg | 08:43 |
| cast | Us3r_Unfriendly: sounds like a rather annoying bug! | 08:43 |
| ikonia | amit: in what way | 08:43 |
| ikonia | Raj007: ahhh, I see what you're saying now | 08:43 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: you forgot to send an '/' at the begging of the path...I added that ...paths a case sensitive...you wrote 'downloads', but assuming you meant 'Downloads' (capital D) | 08:43 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cast: why are you trying to kill Gdm? | 08:43 |
| darolu | amarin: just ask, if someone knows the answer, that one will answer | 08:43 |
| Raj007 | ikonia, I just want to go back to the login screen (GDM) | 08:43 |
| ikonia | Us3r_Unfriendly: see what you where suggesting | 08:43 |
| Raj007 | so killall X will be good to log out ? | 08:44 |
| amit | ikonia:thanx | 08:44 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: | 08:44 |
| cast | Us3r_Unfriendly: i'm not, i don't have gdm installed on any of my systems :) | 08:44 |
| amarin | ok hold up | 08:44 |
| Raj007 | Going to give it a try. | 08:44 |
| darolu | Raj007: you can always reboot from a terminal or enable the control+alt+backspace to restart X | 08:45 |
| amarin | how do i make ubuntu clean my temp thats not my question but | 08:45 |
| ardchoille | Raj007: If you're wanting a command to logout, look at man gnome-session-save | 08:45 |
| nixjr | upon running update manager i see a large number fo the updates are under a section titled "Other Updates(LP-PPA-lucid-bleed)" what does that mean? | 08:45 |
| amarin | oh | 08:45 |
| Raj007 | ok cool thanks archoille | 08:46 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cast: sorry i miss understood | 08:46 |
| amarin | HOW DO I UNMOUNT MY DRIVE THAT UBUNTU IS ON THEN CLEAN BAD SECTORS OFF THAT DRIVE WITHOUT ROOT | 08:46 |
| darolu | nixjr: means you have non-critical upgrades ready | 08:46 |
| amarin | WE'LL I MEAN BLOCK BAD SECTORS | 08:46 |
| mickster04 | !shout | 08:46 |
| ubottu | PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 08:46 |
| amarin | that is my first question. | 08:46 |
| cast | amarin: unless you can get root, you won't be able to do much at all likely | 08:46 |
| amarin | shit | 08:46 |
| amarin | root takes ages to download | 08:46 |
| darolu | amarin: chroot | 08:46 |
| cast | you could boot off a live cd | 08:46 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: killing gdm will too bring you to a gnome log in screen. I don't think this is a proper way of achieve the task | 08:46 |
| amarin | oh yup | 08:46 |
| cast | and thus have root :> | 08:47 |
| amarin | i have a live server cd | 08:47 |
| amarin | then what do i do. | 08:47 |
| amarin | i can get root off my server cd | 08:47 |
| amarin | it has a option to fix an install with root | 08:47 |
| nixjr | darolu, more specifically, what does the "LP-PPA-lucid-bleed" part mean? | 08:47 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly, Yeah i want exactly that. | 08:47 |
| amarin | so | 08:47 |
| amarin | i dont know how to use root | 08:47 |
| FloodBot2 | amarin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:47 |
| amarin | is there a bunch of simple commands | 08:47 |
| amit | darolu: should i firstly Upgrading to GRUB 2 from GRUB | 08:47 |
| amarin | how do i use that? | 08:47 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly, out of my current session, back to login screen, like what the logout button in panel emulates. | 08:47 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | amarin | 08:47 |
| ubottu | amarin: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 08:47 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: do what the other guy suggested...it's more proper | 08:47 |
| darolu | nixjr: that's a repo you added, PPA are personal repositories | 08:47 |
| amarin | so | 08:48 |
| darolu | amit: if you are using Ubuntu 9.10 or newer you already have Grub2 | 08:48 |
| Lasse1 | coraxx: it doesnt work | 08:48 |
| amarin | i can unmount with sudo | 08:48 |
| amarin | ? | 08:48 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: yes | 08:48 |
| amarin | and fix bad sectors? | 08:48 |
| amarin | ok | 08:48 |
| amarin | thanks mate | 08:48 |
| nowarninglabel | Is there any troubleshooting guide for figuring out why display_errors won't turn off? I'm running 10.04 and PHP5, and have set the php.ini values, restarted Apache, and then tried a dozen other things, but errors are still being displayed | 08:48 |
| FloodBot2 | amarin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:48 |
| coraxx | Lasse1: is enterprise2007.iso correct ...or is does it contains uppercase letters as well ? | 08:48 |
| ardchoille | Raj007: gnome-session-save --logout-dialog | 08:48 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | who's a cli guy here??? | 08:48 |
| amarin | ok | 08:48 |
| * cast sits, at the CLI most of the time | 08:49 | |
| amarin | so my question is now. How do i use sudo to check for bad sectors once i unmount the drive? | 08:49 |
| Alestan | heh, cli is so much faster than the gui... | 08:49 |
| mickster04 | !ask | 08:49 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 08:49 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cast: you know a variable for sound effects in bash?? | 08:49 |
| amarin | ok ubottu sorry mate | 08:49 |
| amit | darolu: m using 10.10 and i checked my grub version it says grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 | 08:49 |
| cast | Us3r_Unfriendly: as in the terminal bell? | 08:49 |
| Raj007 | Hah what do you know "gnome-session-save --logout" woot. | 08:49 |
| Alestan | unmount the drive then sudo fsck --help, | 08:49 |
| Raj007 | thanks to whoever suggested reading the man page for that. | 08:49 |
| Alestan | that will spit out the detailed instructions. | 08:49 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cast: no, like say for example Die Hard 4 or any hacker movie | 08:50 |
| ikonia | Raj007: great find, I've made a note of that too | 08:50 |
| maxagaz | does someone know how to convert this command "vlc http://mylogin:mypasswd@myip:myport/nphMotionJpeg?Resolution=320x240&Quality=Standard" into a vlc/vlm script ? | 08:50 |
| amarin | sudo unmount -a? will that unmount the drive that linux is installed onto? | 08:50 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cast: i'm good with cli, but haven't ever got my machine to sound like the ones in the movies | 08:50 |
| ndxtg | Lasse1: http://codepad.org/WXy2y21E type 3 steps into command line, please make sure your iso file is correct as in the path | 08:50 |
| darolu | amit: yes you have Grub2, what they mean is, if you install other Linux distro Grub2 may not work properly as not all distros use Grub2; I -suppose- you shouldn't have any problem at all with two Ubuntu versions (32bit and 64bit) | 08:50 |
| Alestan | I would specify the drive in question | 08:50 |
| ikonia | darolu: mp. that's not what I mean | 08:50 |
| cast | ...no? didn't know bash did sound beyond a bell, i suppose you could get it to via cunning PS* variables and the like calling external programs | 08:51 |
| Alestan | it should be something like /dev/sdb1 or /media/hd2 or something that way. | 08:51 |
| Alestan | so umount /dev/sdb1 | 08:51 |
| ikonia | amit: it's complex to explain, but two distros' cannot share the same grub2 config due to how ubuntu has designed it's config, | 08:51 |
| darolu | ikonia: OK, sorry maybe you want to explain aming your point | 08:51 |
| ikonia | amit: so there will always be a fight | 08:51 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: you can't unmount the partition your running from | 08:51 |
| Raj007 | ok this leads to another problem of mine. I don't mind if you guys don't know. I deleted all my panels, but when i log back in both panels reappear (and i delete it everytime i log in). Anyway to stop that from happening? | 08:51 |
| amit | darolu: can i install the second distro side by side | 08:51 |
| ikonia | amit: this never used to be a problem with grub and a shared /boot, but now grub2 uses /etc on the host computer which the other host cannot access, it is a problem | 08:51 |
| Alestan | (umount -a might unmount your /sys and other tmpfses | 08:51 |
| Alestan | ) | 08:51 |
| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: ok so how do i force fsck to FIX bad sectors at the next boot. Is that possible | 08:52 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: sudo fdisk -l && sudo mount -l will give you more info on your partitions. sudo unmount /dev/sdf! ! = the number of your partition | 08:52 |
| arvind_khadri | amarin, bad sectors can't be fixed | 08:52 |
| darolu | Us3r_Unfriendly: I guess you can try using a cli audio player? | 08:52 |
| amit | should i install second one side by side or seperate? | 08:53 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | darolu: no I have mplayer for that | 08:53 |
| arvind_khadri | amit, you cant have two OS in one root FS. You need to install it separately. | 08:54 |
| darolu | Us3r_Unfriendly: I'm now curious, what do you mean then? I may need to watch Die Hard 4 now :p | 08:54 |

| IchGuckLive | Hi all im in trouble !! for some reaseon i lost this File ->/home/sammel/Videos/DVD_sammlung_Gcstar.gcs is there any chance to recover it ? | 08:54 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | darolu: no i'm trying to get more sound effects from a bash shell...like you would see in the movies. I'm pretty sure I'd have to make a variable to achieve this | 08:54 |
| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: I can block them off though aye? | 08:54 |
| _jesse_ | !undelete | IchGuckLive | 08:54 |
| ubottu | IchGuckLive: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 08:54 |
| _jesse_ | IchGuckLive: not likely, but you can try :) | 08:55 |
| IchGuckLive | that sounds bad | 08:55 |
| zap0 | how do i set an IP from the command line? | 08:56 |
| nixjr | when i run the package manager is downloads all the packages first, then bengins installing them, is it possible to have it installing the first one as soon as its downloaded, and continuing downlaoing the rest while the first installs? | 08:56 |
| Alestan | IchGuckLive most important thing is make sure *nothing* writes to the partition before you try to recover the file | 08:56 |
| amarin | check this out!!!!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/571592/ | 08:56 |
| amarin | my drive is fux | 08:56 |
| ardchoille | nixjr: no, the reason is some packages require other packages in order to functions (called dependencies) | 08:56 |
| Alestan | so you can't even install an undelete program without hosing it. Hopefully /home is on its own partition and you can unmount it, doing so now would be a good idea. | 08:57 |
| Slart | nixjr: I've never seen any settings or switches for doing that.. not saying it's impossible though.. there might be some tricky way | 08:57 |
| Alestan | Then go through the tutorials and see if you can recover it. | 08:57 |
| amarin | im undeleting my hardrive | 08:57 |
| nixjr | it just seemed more efficent to install one rather then sitting and waiting for the other downloads to complete, i didnt htink abotu those dependencies things though | 08:58 |
| Alestan | nixjr if you download them by hand, you can sudo dpkg -i --force <package name> and it will install it. | 08:58 |
| Alestan | But it won't work until the dependencies are installed, and can easily break all sorts of stuff. | 08:58 |
| amarin | Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table | 08:58 |
| IchGuckLive | Alestan: thanks | 08:58 |
| amarin | what does that mean | 08:58 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: i haven't had a drive ever with bad sectors. Is this what your looking for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pavKauR86o ? | 08:58 |
| ardchoille | nixjr: If package A requires packahe B to function, then package A cannot be normally installed until package B is installed first. And then package B might require package C. | 08:58 |
| Alestan | certainly don't try to run package a until package b is installed, | 08:59 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: dm-1 is a virtual machine partition, correct? | 08:59 |
| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: Thanks mate it might just be | 08:59 |
| Alestan | but I have used that method to force downgrades before. | 08:59 |
| IchGuckLive | i will stop recovering and move to the backup 100 movies back | 08:59 |
| amarin | is it? i wasnt sure. that doesn't matter then aye? I have no virtual machines | 08:59 |
| nixjr | ardchoille, it usualy only takes <10mins to download them all anywya, so i guess it wouldnt save a whole lot of time | 08:59 |
| JeffCBR | Something has turned off my function keys! | 09:00 |
| amarin | no | 09:00 |
| amarin | its not the video I want | 09:00 |
| ardchoille | nixjr: Right, and if you try to get around the dependency requirements, you could end up in what is known as "dependency hell", and is not a fun place to be | 09:00 |
| Alestan | I had 2 packages that depended on each other that I needed to downgrade and I couldn't get it to work one at a time, so I did the dpkg -i the first one, which reported as being broken, then the second which fixed both. | 09:00 |

| KSHawkEye | Hello, I have several packages compiled and installed to a prefix. I need to remove one of the packages, but since I installed them to a prefix (not /local) I'm wondering if there is any way to do this easy. I wish there was some way so that apt-get could find the packages, or some "make remove" but I'm pretty sure there isn't. | 09:21 |
| ddarky | KSHawkEye: "make uninstall" maybe? | 09:21 |
| gaelfx | help--me: what do you mean by editor? | 09:21 |
| help--me | gaelfx: from vim to nano | 09:22 |
| cast | KSHawkEye: there is sometimes a make uninstall, but if there's ntohing else under the prefix you could do a rm -r $PREFIX | 09:22 |

| KSHawkEye | I just want to remove a single package, but the problem is its mixed in with other packages, how does the make unistall work? Where do I run it from? | 09:23 |
| gaelfx | help--me: if you can change it without being root, then I don't know how, and my inclination is to say that you can't | 09:23 |
| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: You asked me if I was running a server. I just want to unmount the filesystem and make fsck block all the bad sectors on the drive | 09:23 |
| cast | KSHawkEye: you need to have kept the extracted source directory you did the make install from generally | 09:23 |
| amarin | i only know a little bit about linux | 09:23 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: sudo fsck -p should do it | 09:24 |
| cast | KSHawkEye: programs like stow solve this issue, but you have to use them from the beginning for them to be effectiv | 09:24 |
| gaelfx | help--me: you could try right-clicking the type of file you want to open and go to the "opens-with" tab and change that | 09:24 |
| KSHawkEye | cast: I built out of the source dir | 09:24 |
| gnomefreak | help--me: ive been arouund linux for a long time and i have yet heard of a way to change editor without root | 09:24 |

| scriptwarlock | Tristan3199us, is it a usb webcam? | 09:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: i would try this off a live cd environment, then you can see your partition and check it from there. Or try the fsck...perhaps from grubs repair console | 09:32 |
| elky | Raj007, System > Preferences > Mouse is of no use? | 09:32 |

| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: OR is this something I need to handle within root; if so then how do I use root to do this because I have no idea of root commands. I can get into root off my ubuntu server cd. It has a option to fix kernels and boots you into root. | 09:32 |
| Raj007 | elky: no such settings there for mouse wheel. | 09:32 |
| Tristan3199us | i usually use ubuntu, but its messed up, so im using BackTrack R4 on my other partition.. Backtrack doesnt seem to have drivers so.... what do i do | 09:32 |
| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: can grubs do that | 09:33 |
| Tristan3199us | anyone??? | 09:33 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: i never would say run as root...everyone here will tell you sudo is a better way of handleing this. I don't think it would work through grub's rescue console but from a live cd, yes | 09:33 |
| Raj007 | elky: do you have settings in your mouse preferences for the mouse wheel? Maybe mine is broken :D Such a basic setting. | 09:33 |
| elky | Raj007, no I don't, I thought there was though. | 09:34 |

| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: Where would you go from here. I have puppy linux on a cd but I dont think that it can fix a drive with bad sectors | 09:35 |
| lillecarl | since your operating system depends on your system partition you cannot unmout it | 09:35 |
| elky | Raj007, i haven't used windows for 6 years or so, so I'm unlikely to be remembering it from there. | 09:35 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: use the live cd to use fsck -p to a partition | 09:36 |

| amarin | ok im gunna boot into puppy linux | 09:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Konnie: what issues you having? | 09:42 |
| amarin | bye | 09:42 |
| FishFace | Raj007, if you dual boot from Windows to Ubuntu, unplug the mouse while in Ubuntu and it will scroll normally. Yes, that is the mouse I have. The 6000 model. | 09:42 |
| elky | Raj007, because it's the one mouse model that's popping up with people having this problem. | 09:43 |
| ddarky | Konnie: Ask away. Download DesktopCD. Burn it. Reboot. Test drive. You like it? Install. | 09:43 |
| elky | Raj007, i'm just testing something, please hold | 09:43 |
| Raj007 | FishFace: No mine is MS Wireless Optical 2.00 (part of Wireless Desktop 3000) | 09:43 |
| Raj007 | Well the scroll speed is insance, jumps half a page hah. | 09:44 |
| === Guest92267 is now known as sparrowhawk | ||
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Konnie: Out of all the distros out there, I believe Ubuntu has to be one of the highest on the install list over other distros. Unless you want to compile your own kernel :p | 09:44 |
| Raj007 | good thing firefox could be fixed though. | 09:44 |
| FishFace | Raj007, the solution I have is if I am in Windows, then boot to Ubuntu, the mouse scrolls way too much. Unplug the mouse and plug back in. You will be ok. | 09:44 |
| Konnie | Well, I'm using a temporary laptop which is... fairly ancient and slowly dying. So much that Windows XP is frustratingly slow on it. I figured Ubuntu would be a good alternative what with the speed and all. So what would be the best version of Ubuntu to maximise speed for me? | 09:44 |
| mintux | 09:44 | |
| Raj007 | FishFace: Ahh lemme try that. | 09:44 |
| === old is now known as SixtyFold | ||
| mintux | ikonia: hi love | 09:45 |
| ddarky | Konnie: Try Puppy (imo). Any -desktop metapackages is silly for ancient hardwares. | 09:45 |
| Konnie | And also, my processor is apparently not an x86-64 one. The installation says i need an i686(ithink) version. | 09:45 |
| Raj007 | FishFace: HOLY MOTHER OF .... | 09:45 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Konnie: for the slowness on windows try "advanced system care"...should repair registry; defrag hdd; delete other tmp files; etc. making it faster. | 09:45 |
| Raj007 | FishFace: Thank you, that is the oddest fix i've ever seen. | 09:46 |
| FishFace | Raj007, isn't that crazy?? | 09:46 |
| FishFace | LOL | 09:46 |
| Konnie | The system is after several formats... That's as much care as any system can be given isn't it? :p | 09:46 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Konnie: but i would recommend using a lighter version of ubuntu like lubuntu etc | 09:46 |
| elky | FishFace, oooh, of course. Raj007 not unlikely really. i used to have a KVM port that messed with it. | 09:46 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: what version of firefox you using? | 09:47 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: i am running the 4 beta and I got to says I like it! | 09:47 |
| Raj007 | elky: Ahh never knew. I never would've imagined either. | 09:47 |
| FishFace | elky, Yep. Some believe the MS transmitter/receiver holds some kind of windows settings. All I know is that it works :) | 09:47 |
| elky | Raj007, you could also try installing gpointing-device-settings if you want to try fine-tuning. It doesn't seem to be affecting my stuff, but it might yours. | 09:47 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: especially a feature i haven't used before in previous editions like the web console :p | 09:48 |
| elky | FishFace, it was mere usb I had issues with, but the KVM was probably playing with it still | 09:48 |
| FishFace | Yeah | 09:48 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: I'm still on 3.6.13 stable. But i have tried Chrome 10.x.xxx Beta and i have to say this is the browser i'm gonna use. It's just too darn fast. | 09:48 |
| scriptwarlock | Tristan3199us, so this is about the hardware for bt? | 09:48 |
| Konnie | Will lubuntu be compatible with a non x86-64 processor? | 09:48 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: might have to check that out. i've been also using links lol | 09:48 |
| Ros_coe | Konnie: debian sure is | 09:49 |
| ddarky | Konnie: Yes. You can just use anything on either processor. | 09:49 |
| Konnie | Im generally just looking for the lightest thing out there, that is at least sort of windows-esque so I don't have to re-learn the whole thing from scratch. | 09:50 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Konnie: yes, i believe that's why they made the version, leaning more towards older machines | 09:50 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly, Links? Hah. But if you use Google Chrome, get the BETA version. 10 is incredibly fast and i don't know if GPU rendering is helping it be fast(i dunno if it works) but i have it enabled and pre-rendering enabled. This is a beauty. | 09:50 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | xbuntu looks light too but lubuntu is probably lighter, anyone else agree? | 09:50 |
| * scriptwarlock late in responding.. | 09:50 | |
| DeadPanda | Us3r_Unfriendly, agreed; Crunchbang is also rather light, but not too beginner friendly | 09:51 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: might check that out, but i need a addon for a webconsole. does chrome have that by chance? | 09:51 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | DeadPanda: crunchbang also doesn't use gnome | 09:51 |
| Ros_coe | oh. i was thinking SPARC/ARM/POWERPC etc.... | 09:51 |
| Konnie | Alright then, lubuntu it is. Cheers. : ] Anything I should be aware of before I start installing it? | 09:52 |
| Konnie | Ive never done anything Linux before. | 09:52 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: I don't know, try checking online. | 09:52 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Konnie: prepair for a smile on your face | 09:52 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: sounds good | 09:52 |
| DeadPanda | Konnie, backup your data, blah blah | 09:53 |
| DeadPanda | Konnie, other than that it should be fairly smooth; if the pc's old the hardware's probably well supported by now | 09:53 |
| ddarky | Konnie: if you insist ultimate minimalism, start off with 12MB iso. You end up with nothing. Install openbox + chromium. That should get you your Internet. | 09:53 |
| ddarky | Along with few packages such as xorg. | 09:53 |
| DeadPanda | Konnie, how much memory/processing power does this machine have? | 09:53 |
| amin | please help if I install Nginx via repository where the "nginx config" file and "pid file" would be located | 09:54 |
| minitower | hi | 09:54 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Konnie: i first started on saybyon and I hated linux, cuz i thought that was linux when i first tried it. you might go distro hopping till you find the one you like. but nowadays it's ubuntu / arch / fedora / gentoo as the main contenders, then you go from there to what window manager and desktop environment you want to use...might take a while to find what your looking for | 09:54 |
| Konnie | DeadPanda: I've got about 500mb of ram, and about a 1.5Ghz Intel Pentium M... This is off the top of my head from what I peeked at a while back. | 09:55 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | crunchbang is ubuntu with openbox... | 09:55 |
| ddarky | Konnie: What is your purpose for this crappy machine? | 09:55 |
| zamba | does something equivalent of /etc/skel exist for gnome/X sessions? | 09:56 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | enlightment is nice though, and pretty...that's what i use on arch. But I'm always on Ubuntu now a days | 09:56 |
| Konnie | That being said, it does not perform like it should. I'm almost certain that half of it has burned to death by now. The purpose... Internet, taking notes, writing, writing, writing. | 09:56 |
| tristan3100 | can anyone help me make my camera on my laptop function | 09:56 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | tristan3100: how so? | 09:56 |
| JenniferB2 | how do I install a vnc server on an ubuntu server ( gnome-core and others already installed ) | 09:57 |
| JenniferB2 | what one should I install ? | 09:57 |
| Konnie | Us3r_Unfriendly: Ill start off with lUbuntu and go from there. I won't be using this for more than a month or two hopefully. | 09:57 |
| ardchoille | Konnie: I would suggest lubuntu or maybe xubuntu. You may even get by with Ubuntu and a light window manager such as openbox | 09:57 |
| ddarky | Konnie: 12MB-Mini.iso + xorg + openbox + tint2 + chromium + $YOUR_CHOICE_OF_WORD_PROCESSOR | 09:57 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Konnie: i'd say lubuntu would be too you liking...but also use light apps as well | 09:57 |
| tristan3100 | if i use cheese for example i see colored squares instad | 09:57 |
| DeadPanda | JenniferB2, you might already have one; look in System->Preferences->Remote Desktop | 09:57 |
| scriptwarlock | tristan3100, what could be the problem? | 09:57 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Konnie: lubuntu is what your looking for | 09:57 |
| Sulumar | Greetings | 09:58 |
| tristan3100 | im using a weird version and the camera function isnt working | 09:58 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ssh ftw | 09:58 |
| JenniferB2 | DeadPanda: I don't have ubuntu desktop environment.. that's where I want to go :) | 09:58 |
| DeadPanda | ah ;) two seconds | 09:58 |
| tristan3100 | im using a laptop on skype and they cant see me | 09:58 |
| JenniferB2 | I only have the command line :) | 09:58 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | JenniferB2: and your not happy with that? | 09:58 |
| scriptwarlock | tristan3100, type lsusb in the terminal to begin with | 09:59 |
| sy` | ddarky: mini.iso + emacs + kernel = desktop :) | 09:59 |
| JenniferB2 | Us3r_Unfriendly: well.. I want to use some server gui tools .. so I need a vnc server i think | 09:59 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sy`: vi ftw | 09:59 |
| sy` | Us3r_Unfriendly: ^_~ | 09:59 |
| ddarky | sy`: If you're using emacs, you must had forgotten to install git | 09:59 |
| ddarky | :) | 09:59 |
| sy` | lol | 10:00 |
| DeadPanda | JenniferB2, "vino" is the default server in Ubuntu Desktop | 10:00 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ddarky: i have both but not with git | 10:00 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ddarky: vi is my fav | 10:00 |
| ardchoille | emacs is a nice OS, perhaps someone will write a good text editor for it someday | 10:00 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | nano...what?! | 10:00 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ardchoille: i was talking about emacs as in text editor | 10:01 |
| DeadPanda | ardchoille, because nobody here has ever heard that joke before | 10:01 |
| sy` | ardchoille: You are incorrect, Emacs is the tool in which God constructs the Universe. :) | 10:01 |
| tristan3100 | anybody know how to add a camera | 10:01 |
| ardchoille | DeadPanda: yeah, it's an old joke | 10:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | it's about to be a vi -vs- emacs battle up in here | 10:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | joke | 10:01 |
| tristan3100 | anyone familar with backtrack, i need to set up a camera on a laptop but have no idea where to start | 10:01 |
| JenniferB2 | DeadPanda: I installed that.. but couldn't find out how to start it or set it up using teh command line.. all guides talked about settings > ... | 10:02 |
| ddarky | tristan3100: You're in wrong channel. Ho ho. | 10:02 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | tristan3100: i do but this is not the channel for backtrack help | 10:02 |
| scriptwarlock | tristan3100, visit #backtrack-linux if its what you need | 10:02 |
| sy` | I program in CL and Clojure so... Emacs > Vim. :) | 10:02 |
| sy` | Vim is nice though, keybinding wise. | 10:02 |
| DeadPanda | JenniferB2, vino's tied closely to user sessions, it might not be what you're after | 10:02 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sy`: i believe you still can use vim for that | 10:02 |
| === MrAdam is now known as THEBRODOZER | ||
| sy` | Us3r_Unfriendly: You can, but it's not as integrated. | 10:03 |
| tristan3100 | scriptwarlock: nobody there.. please help... | 10:03 |
| DeadPanda | JenniferB2, there's tightvncserver, I know the client's high quality, but I've never configured the server before on Linux; might want to check the wiki | 10:04 |
| scriptwarlock | tristan3100, your using backtrack? | 10:04 |
| ddarky | tristan3100: Install cheese. That should work out of the box. Otherwise, I would assume you got a half-incompatible camera. | 10:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | emacs isn't for me. I'm a vim lover. and i've used both but i like vim more. it a matter of personal opinion on this case. it's like saying what distro is better. alot of ppl will get upset | 10:04 |
| tristan3100 | scriptwarlock: yes | 10:05 |
| tristan3100 | ddarky: i tried.. all i see is colored squares | 10:05 |
| sy` | Us3r_Unfriendly: I agree, but I have remapped my movement keys to vim's hjkl. ^_^ | 10:05 |
| amarin | hi | 10:06 |
| andruha1123 | would anyone be willing to help me out with linux in general? I'm learning linux and im confused on how to do some stuff | 10:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sy`: i never use those keys lol | 10:06 |
| ddarky | tristan3100: Try a different webcam. Borrow it from a friend or something. And if that works well, there you go. Iirc, it should be plug-n-play. | 10:06 |
| amarin | puppylinux doesn't support the type of partition i have | 10:06 |
| sy` | Us3r_Unfriendly: Arrow user? | 10:06 |
| sy` | andruha1123: Like what? | 10:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sy`: i am, and i know that's not the proper way but hey, that's me | 10:06 |
| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: How easy would it be to use root? | 10:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: easy for me... | 10:07 |
| andruha1123 | sy, like how do i do this: "Print out your environment settings. Which variable may be used to store the CPU type of your machine?" | 10:07 |
| tristan3100 | says cannot send to channel #backtrack-linux | 10:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: first you have to address you root account with a password | 10:07 |
| lkhatiwada | hello | 10:07 |
| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: su passwd? | 10:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: sudo passwd in a terminal will work | 10:07 |
| tristan3100 | anyone feel like helping anyways.. | 10:07 |
| sy` | Us3r_Unfriendly: You should try to force yourself by disabling the arrow keys. Takes a while but I assume it would benefit you as I believe Vim's HJKL are faster. | 10:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sure | 10:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: then in a terminal: su - to log in, and use your new password | 10:08 |
| amarin | password updated successfully | 10:08 |
| amarin | got root | 10:08 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: be careful where you step as root | 10:08 |
| sy` | andruha1123: Maybe I read wrong, in bash? | 10:08 |
| amarin | yup how do i do it as root? | 10:08 |
| === Kaleido|Away is now known as Kaleidomorph | ||
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: ...as what as root? | 10:08 |
| amarin | check the filesystem for bad sectors | 10:09 |
| amarin | hhd | 10:09 |
| amarin | oh wait i cant do it i cant unmount | 10:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: fsck -p | 10:09 |
| andruha1123 | sy, says I to work in Shell environment | 10:09 |
| amarin | is it the same in root as console? | 10:09 |
| amarin | its not | 10:09 |
| scriptwarlock | tristan3100, lsusb | 10:09 |
| amarin | i can get root off my server cd. | 10:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | umount /dev/andthepartition | 10:09 |
| amarin | partition is the filesystem? | 10:10 |
| tryagainplss | hello everyone xD. Can I get some help using xchat? | 10:10 |
| amarin | ok go to unmount? | 10:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | well the filestructure is on the partition | 10:10 |
| amarin | yes | 10:10 |
| samitheberber | tryagainplss: what kind of help do you need? | 10:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | <--------wee-chat and irssi, no xchat | 10:11 |
| amarin | so ok | 10:11 |
| tryagainplss | well.. I need help setting up a LAN server wherein everyone in my network can go chat with each other | 10:11 |
| amarin | How do i do this from a bash screen | 10:11 |
| amarin | use fsck -p | 10:11 |
| sy` | Us3r_Unfriendly: ERC inside Emacs. ^__^ | 10:11 |
| amarin | from bash | 10:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: are you on the live cd...and please don't troll | 10:11 |
| amarin | no not a live cd. | 10:11 |
| amarin | but | 10:12 |
| amarin | oh sorry yes | 10:12 |
| amarin | i can get bash from my cd. | 10:12 |
| amarin | so how do i use bash. | 10:12 |
| amarin | to do fsck -p | 10:12 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: use a live cd...if you need to run fsck with a unmounted partition, this method will not work | 10:12 |
| ddarky | tryagainplss: Install pidgin for all machines. Use bonjour. | 10:13 |
| andruha1123 | can someone tell what I'm suppose to do for this exercise (im learning linux): "Print out your environment settings. Which variable may be used to store the CPU type of your machine?" | 10:13 |
| amarin | us3r_Unfriendly: I need to use bash I have no live cd that will work but I can get into a bash console. | 10:13 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: ....on a running partition that your already on. you need to use the live cd if it's asking your to unmount the drive your trying to repair | 10:13 |
| overclucker | andruha1123: type set | 10:13 |
| tryagainplss | ddarky: oh okay.. | 10:13 |
| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: I know what about grub. | 10:13 |
| amarin | is it easy to do with grub | 10:13 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: try it.... fsck -p | 10:14 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | what's the output | 10:14 |
| samitheberber | tryagainplss: I'm not sure if XChat can provide IRC-server, but there are some other software, which do that | 10:14 |
| andruha1123 | overclucker, is that it? what about for the second part of the question | 10:14 |
| amarin | amarin@ubuntu:~$ fsck -p | 10:14 |
| amarin | fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 | 10:14 |
| amarin | /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root is mounted. | 10:14 |
| amarin | WARNING!!! The filesystem is mounted. If you continue you ***WILL*** | 10:14 |

| amarin | Do you really want to continue (y/n)? | 10:14 |
| ardchoille | samitheberber: xchat is a client, it doesn't provide an irc server | 10:15 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: sudo lshw | 10:15 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: sudo dmidecode | 10:15 |
| overclucker | andruha1123: scroll through the envoronment cariables exposed by set, and find your answer | 10:15 |
| samitheberber | ardchoille: yeah, I thought so | 10:15 |
| andruha1123 | Us3r_Unfriendly, thank you, will try that | 10:15 |
| samitheberber | tryagainplss: like ardchoille told, you can't do that with XChat | 10:16 |
| amarin | grubs hardout | 10:16 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | tryagainplss: what are you trying to do in xchat? | 10:16 |
| sacarlson | amarin: sounds like it might be an encrypted luks partition | 10:16 |
| amarin | yes | 10:16 |
| tryagainplss | well... not exactly xchat | 10:16 |
| amarin | its encrypted | 10:16 |
| tryagainplss | but what I need is a type of irc server wherein everyone in my network can chat with each other | 10:16 |
| tryagainplss | for a lan party | 10:16 |
| amarin | ok | 10:16 |
| ardchoille | tryagainplss: you might look into dancer ircd | 10:17 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | tryagainplss: make your own on a server | 10:17 |
| amarin | this is my question now: can I use terminal to force fsck -p at boot. Wont that fix my bad sectors and the filesystem wont be mounted? | 10:17 |
| Pumpkin- | tryagainplss: I'm not sure if any ircd's are pacakged for ubuntu, but plenty exist and the ones I'm familiar with at least are easy enough to build. | 10:17 |
| tryagainplss | make your own on a server. yes that is what im trying to do. but dont konw how to | 10:17 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | /join "your own channel" | 10:17 |
| ardchoille | tryagainplss: dancer-ircd is in the repos | 10:18 |
| amarin | if I could force fsck -p at boot that would work correct? | 10:18 |
| ardchoille | tryagainplss: or you could have them all join #tryagainplss here on freenode :) | 10:18 |
| amarin | but....I dont know what forces it at boot. | 10:18 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: nope your partition should mount at boot | 10:18 |
| Jordan_U | !fsck | amarin | 10:19 |
| ubottu | amarin: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 10:19 |
| amarin | Us3r_Unfriendly: can I buy linux on a usb stick via the internetz? | 10:19 |
| hlinuxer | 看来我进错地方了#-- | 10:19 |
| bazhang | !cn | hlinuxer | 10:20 |
| ubottu | hlinuxer: 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 | 10:20 |
| amarin | Jordan_U but i need to force it to do -p is that possible? | 10:20 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: or you could use unetbootin, ubuntu.iso, and a flashdrive and save some $ | 10:20 |
| amarin | us3r_friendly: ! gold!!! | 10:20 |
| amarin | never thought of that | 10:20 |
| hlinuxer | Thankyou! | 10:20 |
| amarin | thanks matey | 10:20 |
| amarin | you just solved my problem | 10:21 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | here's a question, has anyone made a bootable windows flashdrive off a LINUX system?? | 10:21 |
| amarin | nope | 10:21 |
| tryagainplss | I see, | 10:21 |
| tryagainplss | thanks everyone | 10:21 |
| tryagainplss | xD | 10:21 |
| bazhang | Us3r_Unfriendly, try in ##windows | 10:22 |
| DeadPanda | Us3r_Unfriendly, it's super possible | 10:22 |
| DeadPanda | Us3r_Unfriendly, most of the tools you use to achieve it in Windows are ported from Linux anyway | 10:22 |
| folklore | there a command to resolve a hostname in linux? | 10:22 |
| andruha1123 | Us3r_Unfriendly, can't you just boot windows with vmware in linux? (im a newb to linux, so this might be stupid) | 10:22 |
| amarin | can somebody recommend me a program that I can boot off a usb that will fix my bad sectors on my hdd | 10:22 |
| sacarlson | Us3r_Unfriendly: I have had persistent linux systems on usb flash and I have had windows run in virtualbox on windows so I know that I could run windows from usb form linux | 10:22 |
| Pumpkin- | folklore: "host" | 10:22 |
| folklore | thx | 10:22 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: that is my solution, but i'm looking for a cli way of doing it, creating a mbr and cp -r everything over | 10:23 |
| doodie | where are soundfont (SF2) files located ? | 10:23 |
| ddarky | amarin: Great idea scenario. Back up your hard drive. Get another hard drive. | 10:24 |
| sacarlson | Us3r_Unfriendly: there are methods on the pendrive site you might want to see | 10:24 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | i've actually made a windows 7 bootable flashdrive from a virtual machine of 7 and with some windows program, but personally I hate windows. That's why I asked. I would like to achieve this goal from a Linux/unix system | 10:25 |
| balou | hi, i'm using Ubuntu Jaunty, and have installed miramar (thunderbird 3.3) , but all email that get sent from outlook turn attachments into winmail.dat files | 10:25 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ...a linux/unix system, alone...no windows | 10:25 |
| balou | i've tried to find a solution that works online, but failed ... does anyone have this working in mirimar (i know this is probably more a thunderbird question than ubuntu) | 10:25 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | my girlfriend actually did could last christmas, she bought me a external hdd that she saw in one of her girly megazines. | 10:26 |
| ddarky | ardchoille: :) | 10:26 |
| amarin | ddarky: What can i run from a usb that will fix bad sectors on a encrypted hdd | 10:27 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | *not could/ good | 10:27 |
| amarin | I dont wish to use linux. | 10:27 |
| amarin | unless I have to. | 10:27 |
| Bohemian_Cow | I think you might be in the wrong channel then Amarin ;) | 10:28 |
| amarin | bohemian_Cow: your right | 10:28 |
| scriptwarlock | amarin, go buy usb stick and put ubuntu on it in that way you dont need a hard disk anymore | 10:28 |
| andruha1123 | how do i disable the popup asking me for the password everytime i leave my computer for few minutes? its really annoying | 10:28 |
| ddarky | amarin: You should try asking in #lvm since you're using encrypted hdd -- The chance is that it may be using lvm and they may give better suggestions. Really, just get another hard drive. We're not talking about a Ferrari here. | 10:28 |
| coraxx | amarin: you have to :-) | 10:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | amarin: you should give a chance. I hated linux when i first began, but i like it now. especially with all the stuff i can do with it. here's my desktop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHg5E3nh6Rs&hd=1 | 10:29 |
| Bohemian_Cow | A Mac might be able to read the LVM info if you have acces to one | 10:29 |
| andruha1123 | yeah, hard drives are sooo cheap now-a-days | 10:29 |
| Bohemian_Cow | with the right software of course | 10:29 |
| scriptwarlock | andruha1123, maybe you activated the screensaver | 10:29 |
| amarin | what version of linux would fix a lvm | 10:29 |
| amarin | logical volume manager hardrive | 10:29 |
| amarin | encrypted or something. | 10:30 |
| sy` | o_O | 10:30 |
| andruha1123 | scriptwarlock, lol that was obvious | 10:30 |
| Bohemian_Cow | if its an encrypted volume you dont have the password to, just give up | 10:30 |
| amarin | i have the password | 10:30 |
| Raj007 | andruha1123: Just go to Settings-> Screensaver and uncheck the box "Lock screen...." | 10:30 |
| coraxx | Us3r_Unfriendly: ok ... I just gotta have that 'digital globe' as a background ...and be able to rotate the windows :-) ... will you share how/where you got it :) ? | 10:30 |
| amarin | Bohemian_Cow | 10:31 |
| amarin | what versions | 10:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | coraxx: I stole it from a russian website | 10:31 |
| amarin | of linux a new version downloaded form linux.com will correct. | 10:31 |
| coraxx | Us3r_Unfriendly: cool :-) | 10:31 |

| balou | can anyone recommend a good winmail.dat reader for ubuntu | 10:31 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: can i see what coraxx is talking about ? :) | 10:31 |
| varunthacker | has the ideas list for GSOC 2011 from Ubuntu been released yet? | 10:31 |
| coraxx | Us3r_Unfriendly: that will teach 'em | 10:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHg5E3nh6Rs&hd=1 | 10:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: it's what i'm running off of | 10:31 |
| Bohemian_Cow | Amarin checkout: www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 10:32 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: congratulations you just bought yourself a whole lot of questions from me on how to customize mine. | 10:32 |
| coraxx | Us3r_Unfriendly: seriously ...I did see the rotate window effect as something you could setup manually in compiz or somethin' .... but how did you do it ...was it simple....did you have to install suplemental packages ? | 10:33 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: yeah i usually get that alot after i show ppl that video | 10:33 |
| Bohemian_Cow | TestDisk helped me out on a old FAT32 drive might work for you too | 10:33 |
| Bohemian_Cow | Since LVM is supported in it | 10:33 |
| amarin | Bohemian_Cow: Can test disk fix bad sectors? | 10:33 |
| Bohemian_Cow | Well it can help get your stuff off it | 10:33 |
| amarin | Bohemian_Cow: Sorry I meant block off bad sectors. | 10:33 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | coraxx: compiz yes, video wallpaper is a script at boot i wrote with mplayer and "xwinwrap" | 10:33 |
| Bohemian_Cow | so you can repartition it | 10:33 |
| Bohemian_Cow | of bad blocks | 10:34 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: first question - How the background? | 10:34 |
| Bohemian_Cow | Bad blocks is a whole other issue | 10:34 |
| Raj007 | err wallpaper even. | 10:34 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: a .avi; xwinwrap; mplayer | 10:34 |
| amarin | Bohemian_Cow: unsure of what you mean. I wish to do something similar to fsck -p | 10:34 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: command: xwinwrap -ni -o 0.5 -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -quiet -nosound -loop 0 /home/eric/Downloads/Startup Wallpaper/digital_world.wmv | 10:35 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: will that way (if i look it up) allow me to place icons on the desktop (i doubt it, so asking) | 10:35 |
| sacarlson | amarin: in ubuntu a luks encrypted disk is opened easily with System>admin>disk utility, with that you can mount an encrypted disk with a gui | 10:35 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: nope and yes...the -o 0.5 makes it transparent, ableing me to click on icons | 10:35 |
| Bohemian_Cow | is your LVM setoup spread over several disks? | 10:35 |
| Bohemian_Cow | setup | 10:36 |
| sacarlson | amarin: sorry in your case decrypt and mount | 10:36 |
| amarin | sacarlson: Will a new version of ubuntu support lvm? | 10:36 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: if at 1.0 then nope | 10:36 |
| === Look is now known as _______xd | ||
| amarin | encrypted | 10:36 |
| sacarlson | amarin: even older will back to 8.04 | 10:36 |
| ddarky | amarin: Definitely. | 10:36 |
| amarin | cool thanks | 10:36 |
| amarin | what im gunna do is | 10:36 |
| amarin | make a usb of the latest ubuntu. Boot into that usb and use that to fsck -p the drive i am currently mounted on. | 10:37 |
| coraxx | Us3r_Unfriendly: ah ok | 10:37 |
| amarin | that should do it. | 10:37 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | coraxx: I also had to install compiz experimental plugins that you don't usually get to use. Xwinwrap is running mplayer as my background | 10:37 |
| sacarlson | amarin: if the disk is good just see if it mounts with what I said above | 10:37 |
| andruha1123 | :( why is linux so hard to understand? so confusing!! (I have to work in terminal) | 10:37 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: I see no use of this (other than OMG Cool factor) but how do you rotate the windows in a circle and so forth? | 10:38 |
| coraxx | Us3r_Unfriendly: this workstation I'm using now is using the experimental compiz too ...the unstable one ...it works fine tho. | 10:38 |
| amarin | sacarlson: The disk is mounted i wish to block off any bad sectors. | 10:38 |
| erUSUL | andruha1123: all powerfull things are somewhat complex :) | 10:38 |
| coraxx | Us3r_Unfriendly: ditto on Raj007's question | 10:38 |
| sacarlson | amarin: if it has bad sectors just copy what you can and reformat | 10:38 |
| Bohemian_Cow | @ Andry: when you get over the first scare of using a console youll find that its often a whole lot easier to fix stuff | 10:38 |
| amarin | sacarlson: Done that twice. | 10:38 |
| scriptwarlock | andruha1123, linux is not windows | 10:38 |
| amarin | sacarlson: Is it even worth blocking off bad sectors? | 10:39 |
| andruha1123 | erUSUL, i just wish there were some instruction on how to do these exercises I have to do.. it just tell me to do it | 10:39 |
| sacarlson | amarin: then time to use it as a music video disk or trash it | 10:39 |
| amarin | sacarlson: ok | 10:39 |
| amarin | sacarlson: I have another question can you help me | 10:39 |
| andruha1123 | scriptwarlock, i never said it was windows :P | 10:39 |
| erUSUL | andruha1123: bash programming? | 10:39 |
| ardchoille | erUSUL: that's probably the best statement I've seen in this channel in a long while | 10:39 |
| ddarky | andruha1123: Your brain have been warped from using too much Windows. Everything in life have a learning curve. Once you get over that learning curve, everything will be trickling down the river beautifully. | 10:39 |
| erUSUL | andruha1123: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide | 10:39 |
| scriptwarlock | andruha1123, things are diffrent here than windows | 10:39 |
| sacarlson | amarin: that would be dependent on the subject | 10:39 |
| amarin | Dns | 10:40 |
| erUSUL | ardchoille: :) | 10:40 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: your right on that, no purpose other than i get laid from my desktop. your going to have to install ccsm and "extra plugins" from the repos | 10:40 |
| andruha1123 | erUSUL, yeah, its just the beginning of class.. but we are getting there | 10:40 |
| amarin | I need to make ubuntu update opendns with my ip address | 10:40 |
| sacarlson | amarin: it would require more detail than DNS | 10:40 |
| coraxx | ddarky: how very delightfulle poetically put :-) | 10:40 |
| amarin | i am on dynamic ip | 10:40 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: already done, which setting is that? and how to activate it? | 10:40 |
| andruha1123 | ddarky, yeah.. wish i could just download "how to use linux" into my brain... | 10:40 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | the spinning part? | 10:40 |
| mk0 | hello people. Is it possible to make aliases for "run command (alt-f2)" launcher like aliases for shell to start long commands like e.g. "/home/tabor/.local/bin/opera-ragnarok-labs"? | 10:41 |
| ddarky | andruha1123: It is no difference than "How to raise my kid right" | 10:41 |
| sacarlson | amarin: then use something like noip2 to setup a noip.com dns and cname your real site to that if you have one | 10:41 |
| Bohemian_Cow | Hell to chat from work I am running a SSH tunnel to my home pc and running irssi to chat. Linux: enabling me to slack of at work on a locked down windows PC. | 10:41 |
| andruha1123 | i mean, linux is pretty easy to use if you are using the graphic interface.. but have to work with terminal (i understand that if i learn this, it will work pretty much the same on most distros) | 10:42 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: enable having atleast 4 desktops screens on your machine. then go to ccsm and enable the desktop cube, rotate cube, 3d windows and cube reflection and deformation | 10:42 |
| === dave is now known as Guest44470 | ||
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: coraxx: then tweak it to your liking | 10:43 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: oh i already got that. that wasn't my question. | 10:43 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: Each application, you're able to rotate app's window in a circle. | 10:43 |
| amarin | sacarlson: thanks | 10:43 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: that's the experimental plugins | 10:43 |
| Raj007 | ahhh | 10:43 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: how good is your git? | 10:43 |
| Bohemian_Cow | @ Andru: Thats one of the major points of learning the console yes | 10:43 |
| coraxx | Us3r_Unfriendly: I already have a setting-manager installed for compiz ...however I can't find anything in regards to spinning window ...do you know where it is and what the plugin is called ? | 10:44 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: Using Linux after 10 years. No idea of git. But learning. | 10:44 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | coraxx: sudo apt-get install ccsm compiz-fusion-plugins-extra | 10:44 |
| Raj007 | ack make that 12 years gosh it's been that long :D | 10:44 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | i've been straight 2 or 3 years without windows now | 10:45 |
| amarin | how many years experience do you need to work for ubuntu | 10:45 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | thank god for vista | 10:45 |
| amarin | of linux | 10:45 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lol | 10:45 |
| coraxx | Us3r_Unfriendly: already did that ..then what ? | 10:45 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: Lol yeah that was a disaster, i went back to XP back then. | 10:45 |
| amarin | do you get qualifications for linux | 10:45 |
| amarin | ubuntu linux | 10:45 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | coraxx: enable having atleast 4 desktops screens on your machine. then go to ccsm and enable the desktop cube, rotate cube, 3d windows and cube reflection and deformation | 10:45 |
| andruha1123 | vista was fun! my new laptop could barely run it... | 10:46 |
| sacarlson | amarin: look in the freelance sites if you can do the job your hired | 10:46 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | coraxx: that's for the spinning world thing | 10:46 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | coraxx: i guess what are you trying to get with the compiz part? | 10:46 |
| Bohemian_Cow | Vista was a heap of troubles for me. Win7 however is running miles better on my gaming machine | 10:46 |
| ddarky | andruha1123: Wait until Windows 8 come out! Norton Antivirus will be embedded in! Whoot! :P | 10:46 |

| MaslowK | Me too, twas the first os I used extensively @ andruha1123 | 10:49 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | actually Raj007 and coraxx, i couldn't get my girlfriend hooked with compiz like i do with everyone else, she thinks it's more complicated | 10:49 |
| sacarlson | shomon: I would just apt-get install ssh but also change the listen port of the server to something other than 22 | 10:49 |

| eddy85 | whats up ppl | 10:49 |
| MaslowK | Us3r_Unfriendly: How is compiz complicated? :| | 10:50 |
| Raj007 | Us3r_Unfriendly: well i know many people just hate the CLI, and no matter what bells and whistles (compiz etc) you have, truth is, if you're going to use Linux, you NEED to use CLI (very hard not to) unlike Win7 | 10:50 |

| amarin | sacarlson: I have but I got that error message | 10:55 |
| amarin | it wont create a read copy of the noip config | 10:55 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: nano is a cli text editor then you'd start a script with: #!/bin/bash ...then you would write your script, then make it executable | 10:55 |
| sxndave | MaslowK: slower disk IO I beleive | 10:55 |
| MaslowK | sxndave: That wouldnt bother me | 10:55 |

| sxndave | MaslowK: though I usually use vmware player under windows and perfromance is generally pretty good. | 10:56 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: but i think you should jump off the deep end and try vim or emacs...it'll pay off in the long run | 10:56 |
| * MaslowK shrugs | 10:56 | |
| MaslowK | Im poor | 10:56 |

| Raj007 | andruha1123: it's easier for beginners. | 10:58 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | well if your learning you should just use gedit | 10:58 |
| andruha1123 | Raj007, i think i will do that until i know what im doing... | 10:58 |

| ubottu | MaslowK: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 11:00 |
| MaslowK | gaelfx: This mobo is lame, doesnt support booting from USB | 11:00 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | greppy: true | 11:00 |
| MaslowK | Think its from somewhere around um | 11:00 |
| MaslowK | 2002? | 11:00 |
| sy` | If you are a ninja, use Vim. If you are a pirate, use Emacs. | 11:00 |
| sy` | Easy | 11:00 |
| gaelfx | MaslowK: is it what, ten years old? or phoenix bios? | 11:00 |
| MaslowK | Ive already looked into it. | 11:00 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | but you should just use gedit.........way easier | 11:00 |
| sxndave | MaslowK: someone was in here yesterday who gets around that by using a bootmanager on cd. can't remember what it was called but there muyst be a few around | 11:00 |
| linux_lover | iceroot plzz help bro | 11:00 |
| MaslowK | And yeah, phoenix bios | 11:00 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | it's like using notepad in windows | 11:01 |
| Raj007 | sy`: what if i'm a ninja pirate? | 11:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Raj007: no way, you too? | 11:01 |
| MaslowK | I'm just gonna try wubi and see what happens me thinks | 11:01 |
| andruha1123 | Us3r_Unfriendly, dude, notepad is the best.. i use it for everything :D | 11:01 |
| sy` | Raj007: Then use Emacs with viper-mode | 11:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: and i use vim | 11:01 |
| linux_lover | cannot mount ntfs volume on ubuntu | 11:01 |
| andruha1123 | well, i use notepad++... | 11:01 |
| MaslowK | Us3r_Unfriendly: I always thought nano was easy enough to use | 11:01 |
| Raj007 | sy`: ack ! | 11:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | but isn't gedit even easier, especially if your coming from windows? | 11:01 |
| MaslowK | Maybe | 11:02 |
| gaelfx | nah, if you really wanna confuse people about what you're writing, you should right binary files that tell the cpu tp right a certain character or string to a particular address in memory | 11:02 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | there's no command prompt text editor that i ever used in windows | 11:02 |
| Raj007 | yeah it is. | 11:02 |
| gaelfx | *write | 11:02 |
| MaslowK | I still prefer nano, if only because it keeps the text editing in the same window that I'm browsing to said files in the first place from | 11:02 |
| * gaelfx used hookt-awn-fawnics | 11:02 | |
| linux_lover | plzz someone helpppp | 11:02 |
| MaslowK | I guess if you're really computer inept | 11:02 |
| greppy | Us3r_Unfriendly: <ot>I've written HTML in dos edit :) on an 8088 :) </ot> | 11:03 |
| MaslowK | But in that case you shouldnt be using linux at all | 11:03 |
| MaslowK | imo ymmv | 11:03 |
| linux_lover | maslowk plz help | 11:03 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | greppy: can you run commands outside of emacs? | 11:03 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ...from inside emacs? | 11:03 |
| MaslowK | linux_lover: I don't know what the problem is, my ntfs partitions have always mounted manually upon installation | 11:03 |
| MaslowK | Er | 11:03 |
| MaslowK | Automatically | 11:03 |
| sy` | If you want to be hardcore, use Emacs. If you want to just set up a config and just get straight to developing, then Vim. | 11:03 |
| greppy | Us3r_Unfriendly: yes. you can even have a shell in a buffer, or a web browser, or an IRC client. I've even used vi inside a shell running in an emacs buffer. | 11:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | nice | 11:04 |
| sy` | <--- Using irc client inside Emacs right now. | 11:04 |
| MaslowK | My 'nix experience is limited to compiling software from source and using live cd's to access protected windows files | 11:04 |
| MaslowK | lol | 11:04 |
| scriptwarlock | linux_lover, whats the problem? | 11:04 |
| shomon | I've never touched the firewall on this computer since installing 10.04. to open an ssh port, do I jsut run "allow 22"? | 11:05 |
| dr0id | is mkdir the best way to create a directory ? :) | 11:05 |
| andruha1123 | would this be a SIMPLE script? echo "Hello $USER" ( i just need anything that would run and print something out | 11:05 |
| shomon | I mean with ufw of course | 11:05 |
| navn | is there any ubuntu version with ltsp | 11:05 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: yes | 11:05 |
| navn | i want ubuntu cd with ltsp | 11:06 |
| andruha1123 | Us3r_Unfriendly, does it have to have a certain extension to run? like a .sh or something? | 11:06 |
| shomon | andruha1123: did you give it executable permissions? | 11:06 |
| sy` | shomon: I think sudo ufw allow 22 | 11:06 |
| shomon | thanks sy` | 11:06 |
| navn | ubuntu with ltsp cd i want | 11:06 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: well echo only displays text and your variable user is the user your logged in as. if you also want to run commands you'll need to write more to your script. usually people write it to a .sh file | 11:07 |
| shomon | so like that it will automagically just keep the port open each reboot? | 11:07 |
| andruha1123 | shomon, would I do this: chmod 5 filename? | 11:07 |
| david__ | I have a question about conky, anyone familiar? | 11:07 |
| shomon | if it's for yoru own use chmod 777 is fine | 11:07 |
| MaslowK | "Of course, many will feel that when average users start using their (kde) desktop environment they will no longer be “cool,”" <--- I dont get people like this =/ | 11:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: have you checked out "Metalx1000" on youtube. He's top notch on your trying to do | 11:08 |
| === CyberCr33p_ is now known as CyberCr33p | ||
| sy` | shomon: It should. Check "man ufw" for reference. | 11:08 |
| Raj007 | I'm just Learning crap by lurking here and reading. :) | 11:08 |
| amarin | what is going on here: amarin@ubuntu:~$ noip2 -S | 11:08 |
| amarin | Can't locate configuration file /var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf. (Try -c). Ending! | 11:08 |
| andruha1123 | Us3r_Unfriendly, thanks, but im not trying to write anything really, just learning how to do simple stuff in terminal and stuff | 11:08 |
| amarin | but I have configured it? | 11:08 |
| sy` | Raj007: Emacs user? | 11:08 |
| andruha1123 | Us3r_Unfriendly, thanks, will check him out! | 11:08 |
| esing | hi | 11:08 |
| amarin | hi | 11:08 |
| sy` | hi | 11:08 |
| david__ | esing, hi | 11:08 |
| esing | how can I make hidden files/folders in my home folder all the time not visible_ | 11:08 |
| Raj007 | sy`: used to but i haven't touched for 12+ years. | 11:08 |
| esing | hi daiv__ | 11:08 |
| shomon | thanks again sy` | 11:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: and that's why i recomend watching him. a ton of terminal videos on good to know stuff...including vim :p | 11:09 |
| amarin | noip2 | 11:09 |
| amarin | problem | 11:09 |
| sy` | shomon: np :) | 11:09 |
| dr0id | ls won't show all the hidden files, is there some way to show the hidden files with ls and without using --all ? :P | 11:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | esing: ls -A | 11:09 |
| amarin | noip2==problem amarin@ubuntu:~$ noip2 -S | 11:09 |
| amarin | Can't locate configuration file /var/lib/noip2/noip2.conf. (Try -c). Ending! | 11:09 |
| david__ | Raj007, put a "." as the first char in the filename/folder name | 11:09 |
| dr0id | ohh, it's ok :P | 11:09 |
| PeterNL | or ls -a | 11:09 |
| andruha1123 | wow 814 vids! | 11:09 |
| AbhijiT_ | ls -all dr0id | 11:09 |
| sy` | Raj007: Oh, I was going to provide you a Lispish link so you can stop lurking. lol | 11:09 |
| sacarlson | amarin: did you read the man noip2? did you try sudo noip2 -C | 11:09 |
| PeterNL | or ls .* | 11:09 |
| MaslowK | esing: If you're trying to do that to keep someone else who uses the computer from seeing your stuff | 11:09 |
| MaslowK | Just create a separate user account for them | 11:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | PeterNL: ls -a includes . .. | 11:09 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | ls -A doesn't | 11:10 |
| PeterNL | Us3r_Unfriendly: yep | 11:10 |
| Raj007 | sy`: lol, no haven't touched Linux since 1999. | 11:10 |
| Raj007 | or any *nix | 11:10 |
| sy` | Raj007: ouch lol | 11:10 |
| esing | ls -A does the opposite . | 11:10 |
| LadKiwi | Hi | 11:10 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | so list your current directory and your the parent directory | 11:10 |
| sy` | LadKiwi: hi | 11:10 |
| esing | Maslowk No I do this for me , because it troules | 11:10 |
| MaslowK | It what? | 11:11 |
| esing | Maslowk troubles me to find my folder because of the many hidden files | 11:11 |
| esing | Maslowk I only want to see my download folder desktop etc | 11:11 |
| MaslowK | Hm. | 11:11 |
| LadKiwi | I would like to run a command on a distant computer. The execution time is long I would like the calculation continue after I closed my connection | 11:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | esing: what's the folder called? | 11:11 |
| MaslowK | oic | 11:11 |
| LadKiwi | how can I do ? | 11:11 |
| esing | Home | 11:11 |
| PeterNL | LadKiwi: use screen | 11:11 |
| esing | "Home" | 11:11 |
| Raj007 | sy`: well you can help me since i'm laid off now, good link to re-learn emacs (i'm not really a n00blet) | 11:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | esing: like ~/ ? | 11:11 |
| PeterNL | !screen | 11:11 |
| ubottu | Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 11:11 |
| esing | home/cor/( | 11:11 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | esing: or another directory you created called home? | 11:11 |
| esing | home/user/ | 11:11 |
| amarin | noip2 ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss | 11:12 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | cd ~/ && ls -a | 11:12 |
| esing | in that folder I see all hidden files/folder | 11:12 |
| amarin | sacarlson: Yes i've used noip2 -C three times now | 11:12 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | esing: from nautilus you see all the hidden folders? | 11:12 |
| esing | now it worked | 11:12 |
| esing | thx | 11:12 |
| PeterNL | My wifi is not working. I have a rt2571WF which uses the rt73usb driver. When I do iwlist wlan0 scan it says this: "Failed to read scan data : resource temporarily unavailable" and dmesg had a lot of these: http://pastebin.com/7fYDSUnr. I do have the firmware installed. The same thing happens on two different squeeze installs. | 11:12 |
| sacarlson | LadKiwi: you can ssh in and use yourcommand & so it runs in the background | 11:12 |
| Da|Mummy | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cf4xBRQmvEo&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL | 11:12 |
| Raj007 | esing: In the folder window, go to menu EDIT-> Preferences and check "Show hidden files" | 11:12 |
| amarin | sacarlson: no ip2 -C says that it has done everything correctly then it doesnt work | 11:12 |
| sacarlson | amarin: I don't see sudo in that line | 11:13 |
| amarin | i used sudo | 11:13 |
| amarin | it prints this | 11:13 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | esing: lol i don't know exactly how you found the fix but okay good | 11:13 |
| esing | ^^ | 11:13 |
| esing | thanks buddy | 11:13 |
| sacarlson | amarin: I assume you failed to create an account did you verify your account at noip.com is active? | 11:13 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | esing: on what part? I'm confused | 11:13 |
| esing | ls -a worked | 11:14 |
| amarin | sacarlson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/571653/ | 11:14 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | oh | 11:14 |
| sacarlson | amarin: sounds good to me | 11:15 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | esing: ls: will show you unhidden folders ls -a: will show you everything. ls -Ralh: is like using tree | 11:15 |
| sy` | Raj007: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/index.html -- http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html -- http://www.psg.com/~dlamkins/sl/contents.html -- http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/ss-toc2.html -- http://clojure.org -- | 11:15 |
| sacarlson | amarin: so does the file exist at /var/?? | 11:15 |
| amarin | sarcarlson: its ok i fixed it. Thanks though | 11:15 |
| Raj007 | sy`: woah thanks, lemme bookmark them. | 11:15 |
| Hans_Henrik | i wish to put up a SOCKS5 proxy, and make it run on port 21; how can i do that? | 11:15 |
| amarin | sacarlson: So how do i make this update opendns, is that in opendns webpage? | 11:15 |
| sy` | Raj007: I have maybe 500+ bookmarks lol. So I quickly grabbed some. | 11:16 |
| sacarlson | amarin: opendns is just a world dns so your noip.com site will be seen there also | 11:16 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | looks like your going to the darkside with emacs lol | 11:16 |
| sy` | Us3r_Unfriendly: lol | 11:16 |
| amarin | sacarlson: so opendns is automatic with noip.com site? | 11:16 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | maybe one day i too might permently go to emacs...but i'm having too much fun with vim | 11:17 |
| sacarlson | amarin: yes noip.com is also a world site they all link together | 11:17 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | how about joe's editor? I haven't used that before | 11:17 |
| Raj007 | sy`: i didn't even know of clojure until now. | 11:18 |
| sy` | Raj007: It's built off the Java jvm. :) | 11:18 |
| amarin | sacarlson: Thats really trippy got anything i can read up on that | 11:18 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | tonight was probably the first time no one has told me to get on subject in here | 11:18 |
| sy` | Raj007: You can use vim for it of course but it will obviously benefit more in an emacs environment. | 11:18 |
| sacarlson | amarin: if you have a site the you own dns site you pay for you can also link that to your noip.com with cname through the registra dns server | 11:19 |
| sy` | Us3r_Unfriendly: never too late >.< | 11:19 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sy`: i do use both, i just use vim all the time | 11:19 |
| sy` | Us3r_Unfriendly: I just prefer the VIM key bindings. Much faster imho. | 11:20 |
| sacarlson | amarin: I'm not sure what you want to know about dns, if you want details on how you can become your own dns server you might research bind9 | 11:20 |
| sy` | for cursor movement | 11:20 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sy`: it did look cool when the kid in "The Social Network" movie was using emacs | 11:20 |
| amarin | sacarlson: How do i make noip2 update all the time. It says it only updates my ip for 60 days | 11:20 |
| amarin | sacarlson: I just wish for opendns to block porn | 11:20 |
| andruha1123 | how do i get help on commands in terminal? what do i type after the command? is it something like "help" or "h"? | 11:20 |
| sy` | Us3r_Unfriendly: lol | 11:21 |
| erUSUL | andruha1123: "man command" | 11:21 |
| amarin | sacarlson: but i have a dynamic ip, but im all good now it says its working and you said that they are connected on the internetz | 11:21 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | andruha1123: man "command name" or "command" --help | 11:21 |
| nibbler | andruha1123, man command. or just tab-tab to get list of available commands | 11:21 |
| sacarlson | amarin: I think that's 60 days of no activity as long as you use it then it will stay | 11:21 |
| erUSUL | andruha1123: althought many progrmans may have a -h or --help option too | 11:21 |
| andruha1123 | thanks | 11:21 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | boom helped | 11:21 |
| sy` | Raj007: You can use Clojure on Google App Engine also. It's well supported by Ubuntu. | 11:21 |
| andruha1123 | haha, this is so much better than google :D | 11:21 |
| sy` | So you can create a test application for free if you wanted to. | 11:22 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | you had like 20 guys hit you with the same answer, need help with taxes? | 11:22 |
| amarin | sacarlson: cool its just funny so how does opendns and no-ip work together wouldn't open dns have to authenticate the no-ip request for them to pass my ip address along to opendns? | 11:22 |
| erUSUL | andruha1123: for a start see the man of man « man man » :) | 11:23 |
| amarin | sacarlson: and how does opendns know that my ip is at no-ip | 11:23 |
| andruha1123 | haha manual for a manual... | 11:23 |
| Raj007 | sy`: ahh i see. | 11:23 |
| sacarlson | amarin: same way opendns knows where google.com is , it's just a big linked data base | 11:23 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | i like "man" because of the key bindings, much like "less" or like vim key bindings | 11:24 |
| amarin | sacarlson: can you link me to something to read about on that topic. im not sure what to google but im interested. | 11:24 |
| amarin | sacarlson: thanks for that, you've been really helpful i've been trying to get this for days. | 11:24 |
| sacarlson | amarin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System | 11:24 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | Well i had fun guys, but time for me to hit the hay | 11:24 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | see you guys later | 11:25 |
| erUSUL | Us3r_Unfriendly: well that's because you are using less to view the pages... | 11:25 |
| Raj007 | alright good night Us3r_Unfriendly | 11:25 |

| sy` | lol | 11:27 |
| erUSUL | Us3r_Unfriendly: man uses less ( or any pager you tell it ) to display the pages. is not "man uses the same keybindings as less" is "man uses less" | 11:27 |
| birdinatux | everytime i tell someone I'm from texas they say "howdy" | 11:27 |

| sy` | Hey, does ubuntu have a gui application for kickstart? | 11:30 |
| Raj007 | question - So, Ubuntu is now "The" mainstream distro (for regular home users not business)? | 11:31 |
| MaslowK | Raj007: As far as I can tell. | 11:31 |
| sy` | Raj007: From what I am seeing, they are trying to become more enterprise now also. | 11:31 |
| MaslowK | Every source I've checked cites ubuntu as THE distro for home users, while several years back it was more "up in the air" | 11:31 |
| drt28424 | Hello, I have some music files ending in .mp3 that I want to burn to an audio cd, but brasero says the file types are not supported | 11:31 |
| sogeking99 | what program can i get to mount iso? | 11:31 |
| drt28424 | sy`: system-config-kickstart ? | 11:32 |
| MaslowK | More between ubuntu, mandriva and fedora iirc | 11:32 |
| MaslowK | Fedora is nice too | 11:32 |
| sy` | drt28424: It looked like a cheap Fedora clone. >.< | 11:32 |
| birdinatux | On your Ubuntu desktop machine, install the package system-config-kickstart using | 11:32 |

| Raj007 | A little off-topic, what should be my next distro after i've "re-learned" Linux? I installed this so it would be easier for me to learn. | 11:34 |
| sogeking99 | anyone? | 11:34 |
| Raj007 | well re-learned as in, gained a little proficiency | 11:34 |
| tony_ | I speak Chinese | 11:34 |
| Raj007 | or Ubuntu is "the one" | 11:34 |
| MaslowK | sogeking99: Sec | 11:34 |
| vish | sogeking99: you should be able to right click and mount the iso | 11:34 |
| MaslowK | Er, okay | 11:34 |
| Bohemian_Cow | Raj007 try another of the major distros like CentOS | 11:34 |
| MaslowK | I dont remember that being an option by default @ vish | 11:34 |
| sy` | Raj007: They are all pretty much the same, I just think it depends on what you plan on using it for or the philosophies behind the distro. | 11:34 |
| andruha1123 | i speak Ukrainian :O | 11:34 |
| redbox | Raj007: You decide. Maybe Gentoo? That'll throw you right back to Ubuntu. | 11:34 |
| MaslowK | Though last time I used ubuntu was a while ago | 11:35 |
| vish | sogeking99: its "archive mounter" | 11:35 |
| Bohemian_Cow | CentOS is also good if you ever end up having to use RHEL | 11:35 |
| vish | MaslowK: iirc, archive mounter is installed by default | 11:35 |
| MaslowK | Yeah, I mean available through a context menu | 11:35 |
| MaslowK | I could be wrong tho | 11:35 |
| sy` | Raj007: Arch, Fedora, or RHEL are the only ones I recommend. | 11:35 |
| Raj007 | Mostly dev work only. c/c++/html/Java | 11:35 |
| MaslowK | redbox: Should've said DSL :P | 11:35 |
| vish | MaslowK: once it is installed you have it in the context menu | 11:35 |
| MaslowK | Hm | 11:36 |
| birdinatux | sogeking99: sudo apt-get install gmountiso | 11:36 |
| vish | MaslowK: "Open with Archive mounter" option | 11:36 |
| Raj007 | Noone recommended Debian :) heh | 11:36 |
| sogeking99 | thanks | 11:36 |
| sy` | Raj007: lol | 11:36 |
| Raj007 | But yeah i did hear about Arch, i got to take a look into it :) | 11:36 |
| sy` | Raj007: Arch is more "hardcore" by default. | 11:37 |
| Bohemian_Cow | Arch is great on older machines | 11:37 |
| Raj007 | that's what i want :) | 11:37 |
| Bohemian_Cow | its very lightweight | 11:37 |
| redbox | !iso | sogeking99 | 11:37 |
| ubottu | sogeking99: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 11:37 |
| sy` | Raj007: I agree with Bohemian_Cow but it's good on newer systems also. | 11:37 |
| Raj007 | No harm in VM'ing it and trying Fedora/Arch. | 11:37 |
| sogeking99 | what mount point? | 11:38 |
| Raj007 | ofcourse in a month or so :) | 11:38 |
| vish | sogeking99: when you right click on the iso, do you have the option "Open with Archive mounter" ? | 11:38 |
| MaslowK | sogeking99: Wherever you want basically. | 11:38 |
| booze2go | i encountered a weird phenomenon - i've installed ubuntu 10.10 via wubi and everthing was fast and great. now i gave ubuntu one of my harddrives and installed it from scratch. now the thing is it's not as responsive as the wubi version. any idea why? | 11:38 |
| Bohemian_Cow | sogeking: mount point is the folder where you wish to mount the iso image ie /mnt/isoimage | 11:38 |
| sacarlson | Raj007: if your a c++ programer you might like gento http://www.gentoo.org/ | 11:38 |
| MaslowK | I used to do something like /media/iso1 | 11:39 |
| redbox | sogeking99: You pick. We usually create an empty directory in "/media/Wolf" or such then mount it from there. | 11:39 |
| sogeking99 | ok thanks | 11:39 |
| sogeking99 | i tried right click mount, nothing seemed to happen | 11:39 |
| drt28424 | !codecs > drt28424 thanks erUSUL | 11:40 |
| ubottu | drt28424, please see my private message | 11:40 |
| Raj007 | sacarlson: will look into that too. | 11:41 |
| erUSUL | drt28424: no problem | 11:41 |
| vish | sogeking99: the iso will get mounted and you will be able to browse the iso just like any other folder, | 11:41 |
| sy` | Raj007: I used Arch for 2 years. I love it just I am a little tired of configuring and want to focus more on lisp. Ubuntu is good for the lazy folks. lol | 11:41 |
| sogeking99 | where will it be mounted? never asked me | 11:41 |
| vish | sogeking99: do you see the new entry on the left pane , with the iso name ? | 11:41 |
| Raj007 | Now i have a genuine question - I have a quad core and i'm a cpu cycle freak. I like to monitor my CPU/Ethernet all the time. What is a good widget application that will show me all four core performances like the one's Windows 7 have? | 11:41 |
| Raj007 | I want to be able to monitor each core individually. | 11:42 |
| many_questions | Hi... | 11:42 |
| sy` | Raj007: I assume that would already be in the system monitor in ubuntu. | 11:42 |
| sy` | or top... | 11:42 |
| sogeking99 | no | 11:42 |
| sy` | ? | 11:43 |
| vish | sogeking99: it wont ask where, it will just mount it.. no need to specify where, when you are using the right-click option | 11:43 |
| Raj007 | sy`: it just shows avg cpu use, not each core. I was thinking graphical. htop = good but it's on CLI | 11:43 |
| Raj007 | like widgets on the desktop | 11:43 |
| sy` | hmm | 11:43 |
| sogeking99 | and it should then appear in places? | 11:43 |
| Raj007 | yeah like Windows 7 | 11:43 |
| Raj007 | gadgets even | 11:43 |
| Raj007 | :D | 11:43 |
| andruha1123 | stupid question.. why doesn't a file run when i type its name in the terminal (its there, i checked with ls) | 11:44 |
| vish | sogeking99: yea, it will appear in places | 11:44 |
| Raj007 | andruha1123: type ./filename | 11:44 |
| wicky | wow, a lot of nicks in here. any one had a problem in 10.10 where images set as desktop background get oriented incorrectly? | 11:44 |
| andruha1123 | Raj007, wow.. must be late that i forgot that | 11:44 |
| vish | sogeking99: below the "Network" | 11:44 |
| many_questions | I have a ubuntu CD (10.04) that was modified to use a especial (Local) repository... I can't install using this CD right now... but I would like to know what repository(s) is set on it... | 11:44 |
| sacarlson | Raj007: it's probly not what you want but to monitor my network I use cacti , cacti will also monitor mem usage and a few other things on my local system but I also use it to monitor remote system usage | 11:45 |
| Raj007 | sacarlson: any recommendation is good, let me look into it. | 11:45 |
| sogeking99 | strange, not there | 11:45 |
| sy` | >.< | 11:46 |
| Raj007 | sacarlson: you were right, that's not what i need but a very useful tool indeed for remote system monitoring. | 11:47 |
| sacarlson | Raj007: ya it's graphics are cool you can zoom in and out from 5 minits to 2 years ago | 11:47 |
| andruha1123 | why does it tell me that permission is denied when I did this: "chmod 744 filename" | 11:47 |
| Raj007 | lol that's nice. | 11:48 |
| vish | sogeking99: what option did you select from right click menu? | 11:48 |
| redbox | sacarlson: How do you use it? :) | 11:48 |
| sogeking99 | open with archive mounter | 11:48 |
| redbox | sacarlson: Nevermind. Found a wiki. | 11:48 |
| sacarlson | Raj007: I use it to monitor network bandwidth at different points on my net so I can tell what is using what bandwidth and how long something didn't work | 11:48 |
| vish | sogeking99: then look in PLaces > "Computer" | 11:49 |
| sacarlson | redbox: opps not sure what you wanted | 11:49 |
| vish | sogeking99: if it does not appear even there, then either the iso might be broken or something else is wrong with that iso | 11:50 |
| Raj007 | andruha1123: you don't have permission to change that file. you're not the owner/group of that file. Try sudo the command? | 11:50 |
| sogeking99 | oh right | 11:50 |
| andruha1123 | Raj007, i did.. and i just created that file | 11:50 |
| vish | sogeking99: found it ? | 11:50 |
| sogeking99 | no, not there | 11:51 |
| Raj007 | andruha1123: well something with the permission is wrong on that file. Just sudo chmod | 11:52 |
| vish | sogeking99: hmm, then the iso might be broken.. | 11:52 |
| andruha1123 | Raj007, here is what I typed: sudo chmod 744 testfile | 11:52 |
| many_questions | how could I change the "apt" repository on the Ubuntu instalation CD? | 11:53 |
| sogeking99 | its my diablo iso, i used it on windows like | 11:53 |
| Raj007 | andruha1123: and doesn't work? | 11:53 |
| andruha1123 | then when i type ./testfile it tell me that permission is denied | 11:53 |
| andruha1123 | Raj007, nothing happens when i hit enter.. i dunno | 11:53 |
| Raj007 | andruha1123, ls -al filename? | 11:53 |
| andruha1123 | cannot acces filename error comes up | 11:54 |
| sogeking99 | oh isom worked | 11:54 |
| sogeking99 | so my archive mounter is broken? | 11:54 |
| Raj007 | andruha1123: no replace filename with your file name | 11:54 |

| === SirNeo is now known as sirneo | ||
| sy` | once I figure out how to use this kickstart, all will be good | 11:55 |
| andruha1123 | Raj007, lol sorry, i thought you type 'testfile' which is the actual filename. I get rwxrwx 1 | 11:55 |

| MaslowK | Sup dawg. | 12:00 |
| Satauros | hi ya'll, quick question, how do I verify that my ubuntu server is correctly sync'ing with my time server, using ntpd? | 12:00 |
| pfifo | not me, good thing for coffee | 12:00 |
| MaslowK | cheater00: CHEATERS GO TO HELL | 12:00 |
| MaslowK | xD | 12:00 |
| pfifo | Satauros, check and see if it has a log | 12:01 |
| MaslowK | pfifo: Better than booze at 4am eh? | 12:01 |
| MaslowK | lol | 12:01 |
| dr0id | how do you get the current working dir ? | 12:01 |
| pfifo | dr0id, pwd | 12:01 |
| dr0id | lol | 12:01 |
| pfifo | its 7am here MaslowK | 12:02 |
| dr0id | it's 26pm here | 12:02 |
| Satauros | pfifo, this log, should it be in /var/log/ntpstats ? | 12:02 |
| MaslowK | pfifo: Exactly :P | 12:02 |
| pfifo | Satauros, Im not sure if it makes a log, but if it does it will be in /var/log... it may also log to syslogd | 12:03 |
| many_questions | sacarlson: I take a look at uck... and its pretty cool... but not what im looking for... I whants to know where in a cd (iso) of ubuntu I can find the list of repository.... (like the source.list)... | 12:03 |
| sogeking99 | ah man it not worked, asked for install disk but thats what i mounted | 12:03 |
| sacarlson | Satauros: well for one you could verify that ntpd is running with ps -A | grep ntpd | 12:03 |
| Pumpkin- | Satauros: You want some output from ntpq. From memory it is ntpq -pn, but I'm not 100% sure. | 12:04 |
| Satauros | it is running :) | 12:04 |
| MaslowK | sogeking99: When installing it or when trying to play the game after installation? | 12:04 |
| Satauros | ntpd -q gives me some results at least | 12:04 |
| sogeking99 | when install | 12:04 |
| sogeking99 | i right clicked setup and chose 'open with wine program loader' | 12:04 |
| Satauros | if that last mentioned command provides output, should I assume that the time sync'ing works properly? | 12:05 |
| Michael | Hello, is anyone familiar with tar (the partition backup and restoration program) ? | 12:05 |
| === Michael is now known as Guest952 | ||
| jrib | Guest952: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 12:05 |
| sacarlson | many_questions: I guess it's not in it's standard location on a livecd at /etc/apt/source.list | 12:05 |
| MaslowK | sogeking99: Not sure then, thats unusual :| | 12:07 |
| MaslowK | Could just be that game, or maybe the version of the installer pressed to that particular disc | 12:07 |
| MaslowK | It getting to the point where it specifically asks for a particular disc gets me. | 12:08 |
| Satauros | thx for the help, i'll check it out :) | 12:08 |
| sogeking99 | its an iso i made from my original disk, | 12:08 |
| MaslowK | Well | 12:08 |
| MaslowK | I guess I could only really suggest acquiring a different copy of the game (be creative) and trying that. | 12:09 |
| p896gbm | is there a generic gamedev channel somewhere? some place people hang out who are making games? | 12:09 |
| sogeking99 | ok thanks | 12:09 |
| MaslowK | Unless its a copy protection issue, in which case maybe try ripping the disc with a different app? | 12:09 |
| MaslowK | I usually use dvddecryptor in windows. | 12:10 |
| abhinav_singh | Can I install 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10 on my 32 bit machine? | 12:11 |
| jrib | abhinav_singh: no... | 12:11 |

| abhinav_singh | well how to find weather my processor is 32 bit or 64 bit? | 12:11 |

| griphown | Opa, alguém ai conseguiu usar compiz ou o unity 3d com uma [SiS] 771/671 ? | 12:12 |
| sogeking99 | didn't think it would be an issue with such an old game | 12:12 |
| pfifo | well technically you could put the files on your hard drive, but none of the programs would run | 12:12 |

| griphown | Hi, anyone know if i can use compiz or unity 3d with [SiS] 771/671 ? | 12:13 |
| bazhang | griphown, ask in #compiz , my recollection is that you cannot | 12:13 |
| jrib | abhinav_singh: you can see if the "lm" flag is in /proc/cpuinfo | 12:14 |
| MaslowK | sogeking99: Depends on what you're using to rip the disc I imagine | 12:14 |
| sogeking99 | yeah | 12:14 |
| abhinav_singh | yes jrib | 12:15 |
| jrib | abhinav_singh: if it is, then you have a 64bit capable cpu | 12:15 |
| abhinav_singh | okay jrib | 12:15 |

| karma_police | i am re-installing ubuntu but want to keep my home folder... i remember setting it up as a separate partition when i first installed it.. how do i proceed with the installer in order to keep it? | 12:16 |
| jrib | karma_police: setup /home as a separate partition, point it to your existing partition, check "do not format" | 12:16 |
| bazhang | !home | karma_police | 12:16 |

| MaslowK | karma_police: Honestly I would just cut the directories/files in your Home folder to a secure location on a different partition, then copy them to the new Home directory after installing. | 12:18 |

| YBinnenweg | okay.. | 12:33 |
| YBinnenweg | how can i decrypt it? | 12:33 |
| jrib | YBinnenweg: I'm not sure that's easily done on windows | 12:33 |
| YBinnenweg | well | 12:33 |
| YBinnenweg | i can also acces the ubuntu ;) | 12:33 |
| YBinnenweg | but rightnow i'm on the windows | 12:33 |

| bazhang | elFidel, try a different mirror | 12:35 |
| ikonia | ymonir: monitoring is disabled by deffault | 12:35 |
| shutz | YBinnenweg: is there any possibility on windows to read unix-based file-systems? | 12:35 |
| ikonia | ymonir: they would have to set up software on your machine to do that | 12:36 |
| YBinnenweg | yep | 12:36 |
| YBinnenweg | a program called ext2fsd | 12:36 |
| ikonia | ymonir: so don't worry about it | 12:36 |
| elFidel | bazhang: yes i know that might do the trick - but somehow i am just wondering as it seems that .de mirror is just permanently slow | 12:36 |
| jrib | YBinnenweg: like I said, I don't think that will be easy. You can read the details of the setup at the link I gave you | 12:36 |
| ryokea | ymonir: turn off remote desktop. system -> preferences -> remote desktop. that would be a step in the right direction, also look into setting up a firewall | 12:36 |
| YBinnenweg | okay | 12:36 |

| MaslowK | ymonir: Basically dont install things from websites you dont recognize. | 12:36 |
| ikonia | adac: pastebin is opensource, google for the code | 12:36 |
| YBinnenweg | you can't acces your home folder -.- | 12:36 |
| bazhang | elFidel, doubtful it's permanent, my local mirror was completely down a couple of days ago and is fine now | 12:36 |
| MaslowK | That should keep you safe enough in linux. | 12:36 |
| z6t6c7u8i | CIAO A TUTTI !!!!! | 12:36 |
| shutz | indeed :/ | 12:37 |
| YBinnenweg | thats what i need :P | 12:37 |
| YBinnenweg | i don't want to have 2 times 13 gigs of music xD | 12:37 |
| jrib | YBinnenweg: so don't encrypt your music | 12:37 |
| ymonir | thanks for you all | 12:37 |
| YBinnenweg | lol | 12:37 |
| YBinnenweg | i didn't encrypt anything.. | 12:37 |
| ryokea | ymonir: no prob | 12:37 |
| MaslowK | Here's a question; say I have two hard disks; windows and its bootloader are installed on one, and one is used for storage. If I go and install Wubi on the storage disk, will it still add the proper boot entry? | 12:37 |
| YBinnenweg | i only have a password on my account | 12:38 |
| jrib | YBinnenweg: I am telling you that you did, your home is encrypted | 12:38 |
| YBinnenweg | nothing more | 12:38 |
| elFidel | bazhang: k thanks for the response | 12:38 |
| ymonir | about setting up a firewall - is it from software center | 12:38 |
| Blackhex | The same problem is in Kubuntu it has somehting to do with PulseAudio. Somehow alsa is fine with detecting the device but the PulseAudio don't. Anyone? | 12:38 |
| adac | ikonia, http://pastebin.com/ you mean this one right? | 12:38 |
| ryokea | ymonir: yea, there is one you can use that works pretty well called firestarter | 12:38 |
| YBinnenweg | well... maybe some ghost did it.. cause i just installed ubuntu, installed pidgin and some other mess, and i never enabled any kind of encryption in the settings :S | 12:38 |
| YBinnenweg | also not durning the installation | 12:39 |
| shutz | YBinnenweg: and your music is in your /home/ folder? | 12:39 |
| jrib | YBinnenweg: at install there is an option to encrypt your home directory | 12:39 |
| ymonir | and is there really - some back doors for ubuntu - or viruses ? | 12:39 |
| YBinnenweg | yep it is | 12:39 |
| YBinnenweg | uhmm | 12:39 |
| YBinnenweg | yes/ | 12:39 |
| YBinnenweg | ? | 12:39 |

| kos_kos | hi | 12:39 |
| shutz | an easy way is to copy it to an external hdd or usb-stick :p | 12:39 |
| Lint01 | ymonir, most often server software like proxies or spambots | 12:40 |
| jrib | YBinnenweg: what you described earlier indicates that your home is encrypted, you can refuse to believe it, but that won't really change much :) | 12:40 |
| YBinnenweg | i know | 12:40 |
| YBinnenweg | i believe it's encrypted | 12:40 |
| ymonir | thanks - thanks alooottt | 12:40 |
| ryokea | ymonir: generally? no, but security vulnerabilities pop up from time to time that could be exploited. ubuntu is kept up to date security wise pretty well so as long as you keep updating your system, you will be fine | 12:40 |
| YBinnenweg | i just don't know how i did it lol :P i never enabled anything, and is there some kind of option to disable the encryption in ubuntu? | 12:40 |
| jrib | YBinnenweg: just create some directory like /shared and move your music there (do this in ubuntu) | 12:40 |
| YBinnenweg | okay | 12:41 |
| YBinnenweg | well i'll reboot in ubuntu | 12:41 |

| auro1 | hey | 12:41 |
| auro1 | i bricked my windows bootloader | 12:41 |
| ymonir | thank you ryokea :) | 12:41 |
| auro1 | it just hangs then goes back to the grub loader | 12:41 |
| YBinnenweg | install grub bootloader from ubuntu | 12:41 |
| auro1 | i am uisng the grub one | 12:42 |
| auro1 | and its doing fine | 12:42 |
| YBinnenweg | grub can automatically search for windows 8 | 12:42 |
| ryokea | ymonir: no prob | 12:42 |
| YBinnenweg | windows 7* | 12:42 |
| Pumpkin- | can I safely assume everything else in a normal startup has actually started before stuff in /etc/rc.local gets executed on system boot. I'm not sure how asynchronous the upstart boot process is. | 12:42 |
| YBinnenweg | aww lol | 12:42 |
| YBinnenweg | why did you tell it then xD | 12:42 |
| auro1 | Yeah but the thing is, when i click on "Windows 7" | 12:42 |
| sarthor | HI, How to check what version of shorewall i am using ? Command line ? | 12:42 |
| auro1 | it goes to a black window with a _ flashing | 12:42 |
| auro1 | for 5-10 seconds | 12:42 |
| avinashhm | Hi , can we unbind the alt key [ or meta ] key in gnome terminal .. i saw the profile preferences .nothing catch .. any hints ? | 12:42 |
| ryokea | Pumpkin-: i think rc.local is run when you log in | 12:42 |
| auro1 | then goes back to the grub menu | 12:42 |
| YBinnenweg | maybe it's not the right device? | 12:42 |
| YBinnenweg | i mean | 12:43 |
| bia | I'm having trouble with updating the android development plugins for Eclipse on Ubuntu. The status is stuck at: "Update: (3%)". Any ideas? | 12:43 |
| YBinnenweg | that grub is not pointed to the right place where the windows installation is | 12:43 |
| auro1 | i can check.. it should say /dev/sda1... | 12:43 |
| auro1 | can i do something | 12:43 |
| Pumpkin- | ryokea: that contradicts what it says in its own comments. "# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel." | 12:43 |
| auro1 | when i am in the grub loader? | 12:43 |
| YBinnenweg | uhmm | 12:43 |
| YBinnenweg | as far as i know not.. | 12:43 |
| auro1 | ok | 12:43 |
| YBinnenweg | i remember | 12:43 |
| YBinnenweg | last night | 12:43 |
| ryokea | Pumpkin-: my bad, it is run before all other scripts right before the login prompt appears | 12:43 |
| YBinnenweg | i did a command something like "grub-update" | 12:43 |
| auro1 | oooh | 12:43 |
| YBinnenweg | and it added windows 7 to my grub bootloader | 12:44 |
| YBinnenweg | it just rebuilds the whole bootloader | 12:44 |
| jrib | YBinnenweg: stop pressing enter please | 12:44 |
| YBinnenweg | sorry. | 12:44 |
| auro1 | How would I use it ? | 12:44 |
| jrib | Pumpkin-: what do you want to accomplish? | 12:44 |
| YBinnenweg | open terminal -> grub-update | 12:44 |
| auro1 | not there | 12:44 |
| auro1 | asks me to install either grub or grub2 package | 12:44 |
| auro1 | wich one do i choose? | 12:44 |
| ryokea | Pumpkin-: correction again, it is run after all other scripts before logon prompt *cant type today* | 12:45 |

| auro1 | ikonia: Thanks | 12:45 |
| auro1 | oooooooooh | 12:46 |
| auro1 | a funny error popped up | 12:46 |
| auro1 | when installing grub2 | 12:46 |
| YBinnenweg | and then it should rebuild some linux related files.. and after that when it's done, you can try reboot | 12:46 |
| YBinnenweg | let me get on ubuntu :P brb ;) | 12:46 |
| auro1 | http://pastebin.com/fTmPnfMJ | 12:47 |
| ikonia | auro1: where did you tell it to install ? | 12:47 |
| auro1 | ikonia: ubuntu or grub? | 12:48 |
| ikonia | auro1: grub | 12:48 |
| auro1 | ikonia: default, didn't mess with it. The error comes from me running "sudo apt-get install grub2" | 12:48 |
| ikonia | auro1: why are you doing that ? | 12:48 |
| ikonia | auro1: the installer should have done it for you | 12:48 |
| auro1 | YBinnenweg suggested it | 12:48 |
| ikonia | auro1: you shouldn't have to run sudo apt-get install grub2 as it should already be installed ? | 12:49 |
| YBinnenweg | whaaat? | 12:49 |
| auro1 | well it wasn't available apparently. :S | 12:49 |
| YBinnenweg | i just said grub-update | 12:49 |

| auro1 | uhm | 12:49 |
| auro1 | well there was no such thing as grub-update | 12:49 |
| auro1 | so i guess i just screwed myself over even more | 12:49 |
| ikonia | auro1: update-grub | 12:49 |
| ikonia | auro1: what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 12:49 |
| auro1 | 10.10 | 12:50 |

| auro1 | Ok this time it didn't explode. Pastebinning | 12:50 |

| auro1 | When I go into grub and try to load "Windows 7" | 12:50 |
| Satisfied | anybody know of a gui runlevel editor for ubuntu ? | 12:50 |
| auro1 | It gives me a blinking __ for 5-10 seconds | 12:51 |
| auro1 | then goes back to GRUB | 12:51 |
| tristan3199us | my camera doesnt work on my laptop,, can anyone tell me why there are no devices in /proc/bus/usb | 12:51 |
| ikonia | auro1: ok, so that's something you don't have to re-install grub for | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Satisfied: ubuntu uses upstart. not sysv. so the runlevel stuf is not really that used. | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Satisfied: whjat are you trying to change exactly. | 12:51 |
| Pumpkin- | (its not a major problem as I have iptables blocking non-ESP traffic to the hosts, but I need to get this running for a proof of concept now rather than work out whats broken with openswan. I'll get back to that bit later). | 12:51 |
| auro1 | ikonia: oh okay, i'm just a random newb, i don't know much about linux | 12:51 |

| auro1 | testing | 12:52 |
| auro1 | be back | 12:52 |
| Satisfied | Dr_Willis, thanks... first time I've heard of this upstart so I'll be doing a little reading for now | 12:53 |
| jrib | Pumpkin-: I'm not familiar with these tools. However my suggestion is you just write your own init script and make it run after openswan. Though, I believe the sysv-init scripts will still be run in order even if upstart is taking care of it (so /etc/rc.local should work too). And actually, I'd be surprised if there isn't some openswan conf file you can modify to setup this up in a more "proper" way, so | 12:54 |
| jrib | you might try #openswan | 12:54 |
| Pumpkin- | jrib: yeah, I will do, but for now rc.local SHOULD work, so I'm going with it. I'll work out whats wrong with the proper method later :) | 12:55 |

| jrib | NoOova: make sure you understand exactly what ctime is (it's not creation time) | 13:39 |
| Pici | jrib: I'm not sure I know what the difference is actually. | 13:40 |
| jrib | egolost: alternate installs the desktop version of ubuntu, so if you want server use the server install | 13:40 |
| egolost | jrib: ok... thx. | 13:41 |
| jrib | Pici: from memory, ctime is modifications to the file or inode (things like permissions and owner) | 13:41 |

| jbwiv_ | guys, is there a way to add bash aliases to gnome-session, so that gnome will call those when using "Run Application" instead of the actual app? For example, if I wanted to define "alias rdesktop='rdesktop -g 1500x900'"? | 14:07 |
| Dr_Willis | jbwiv_: just make a simple 2 line script.. would be the easiest way | 14:07 |
| rmd_ | Anyway, from looking at this I don't know what to say. | 14:08 |
| jbwiv_ | Dr_Willis, yeah, but I believe there's a file in gnome that you can add this to. I just can't remember what it's called.... | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | the users ~/bin/ is added to the default path if it exists. Im not sure if its at the front of the back of the path | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | jbwiv_: alias's would be shell specific.. so ive never sen that done that way | 14:08 |
| rmd_ | Whats in your /etc/hosts? | 14:08 |
| usr13_ | what__the_hell: What are you running now? | 14:09 |
| jbwiv_ | Dr_Willis, I'd hate to create a script for every alias I want defined. I have around 50. this also applies to environment variables you'd like to export into the gnome session | 14:09 |
| shomon | looks like apache was listening too hard... I took out a listen and it started fine! | 14:09 |

| jbwiv_ | so how would you export environment variables into the gnome shell upon login? Say I want to modify gnome's default path, or to set JAVA_HOME, or something else? | 14:10 |
| jrib | jbwiv_: use ~/.profile | 14:10 |
| jrib | jbwiv_: ~/.xprofile used to work too and be X-specific but not sure if that's still the case | 14:11 |

| usr13_ | pentarex: NP | 14:24 |
| ikonia | jrib: not sure, hence why I'm curious to who's set this up | 14:24 |
| d1gital | ikonia: I did, at some point, but I don't remember how or why. I think It was to create a 32-bit chroot, but it seems like that wouldn't work since it points to 64bit binaries. | 14:24 |
| usr13_ | d1gital: What does ls -l say about these "links"? | 14:24 |
| ikonia | d1gital: if you did it, you can't remember why and you're not using it, don't worry about it | 14:25 |
| Provenzano | I can't run my ubuntu. when I run my pc, it says there are no partitions. I try to use a live cd, however my ubuntu partition has been desappeared. what can I do? | 14:25 |
| d1gital | usr13_: they look just like regular files. the inodes are same as the originals, but they still take up space | 14:25 |
| d1gital | ikonia: I can't delete them without breaking the system, and my space is cut in half. | 14:26 |
| d1gital | jrib: That's it. I found entries of type "bind" in /etc/fstab | 14:26 |
| jrib | surprises me that that affects your free space | 14:27 |
| usr13_ | Provenzano: Boot to a liveCD and see what is there, (or not there as the case may be). | 14:27 |
| d1gital | jrib: me too.. maybe i'm mistaken. I'll re-run baobab. | 14:28 |
| Provenzano | usr13_ windows partition are there. however ubuntu no. can I recover it? | 14:28 |

| abhinav_singh | i also dnt want to install the two version at same time...i am okay with 32 bit..but i have to use mongodb and that dnt work fine with 32 bits so i am in dilemma ikonia | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Moosefan: how was the raid5 device made ? | 14:38 |
| Moosefan | hardware raid | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Moosefan: make a /etc/fstab entry by hand. the ntfs-3g docs/homepage gives examples.. ive no idea how raid afects that | 14:38 |
| compdoc | Provenzano, why do you think you lost the partition? that doesnt happen for no reason | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Moosefan: what type of hardware raid, motherboard fake raid or a true hardware raid controller ? | 14:38 |
| Moosefan | no problem with it at all, it's just that sometimes when I boot I can't mount it | 14:38 |
| Moosefan | motherboard wannabe-hardware | 14:38 |
| ikonia | Moosefan: that may be part of the problem then....you're lucky it assembles at all, it can sometimes assemble the array post ubuntu boot though so it doesn't get mounted | 14:39 |
| compdoc | Provenzano, reallocated sector = 0 is a good sign theres no problems with the drive | 14:39 |
| Provenzano | compdoc my brother for mistake started using windows recovery partition. and after it, he reboot pc, without recover anything | 14:39 |
| Moosefan | It wont't mount the drive beause it contains/ends up in /dev/somewhere-that-apparently-stops-it-from-being-mounted | 14:39 |

| ikonia | VP1: try in ##php | 14:39 |
| Moosefan | aye, but sometimes the drive (or one of the drives in the array) becomes busy | 14:40 |
| ikonia | VP1: PHP scripting support is in the channel ##php | 14:40 |
| Moosefan | and so, I can't mount it | 14:40 |
| usr13_ | Provenzano: Was this previously a dual boot system? | 14:40 |
| ikonia | Moosefan: I wonder if it's just slow assembling it as it's fakeraid and ubuntu is getting there faster | 14:40 |

| llutz_ | could someone correct that factoid? mount attaches filesystems not devices | 15:23 |
| bethdo97 | Dr_Willis: Is it sudo startx or just startx at the terminal prompt? | 15:23 |
| Dr_Willis | starts | 15:23 |
| Dr_Willis | startx | 15:23 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo would run it as the root user.... | 15:23 |
| iiro_ | hello | 15:24 |
| iiro_ | any advice what to do when Ubuntu crashes at boot-up at the point where it is trying to switch to graphics mode (my guess)? | 15:24 |
| aeon-ltd | damn it was write protected anyways, anyway to clear this without gparted or mounting it? - this is a usb stick | 15:25 |
| Dr_Willis | iiro_: and your video card is? | 15:25 |
| iiro_ | tried 10.10 and 10.04 (64-bit) | 15:25 |
| sacarlson | Magizian: before you port maybe tell us what the application does to see how close it it to what we already have | 15:25 |
| jiffe | seem to be having a problem with apache restarting sometimes | 15:25 |
| Dr_Willis | aeon-ltd: what filesystem? | 15:25 |
| iiro_ | nvidia something, just a sec... | 15:25 |
| Dr_Willis | iiro_: try the nomodeset option, untill you get the nvidia drivers installed. | 15:25 |
| aeon-ltd | Dr_Willis: fat | 15:25 |
| jiffe | looks like certain processes get stuck | 15:25 |
| Dr_Willis | aeon-ltd: you may need to mount it with specific options. | 15:26 |
| bethdo97 | How can I fix the Botloader issues that are coming up? I assume there are too many entries in the MBR. Is there a way to edit it to fix that problem? | 15:26 |
| Magizian | iiro... yeah, click the button and login without Xservice.. then fix the problem. | 15:26 |

| Magizian | I use WMHT OS Zx86 os.hopto.org | 15:28 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: depends on your network setup and what you want to do remotely | 15:28 |
| ddi | hi | 15:28 |
| Lass1 | i need to use something that windows can see | 15:28 |
| ddi | hi again | 15:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Lass1: over lan? or internet? | 15:28 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, I would like to be able to act as if i am at the machine but remotely | 15:28 |
| Magizian | WMHT does windows, unix, linux and mac software faster than their native os's... | 15:28 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, but at the least I would like to be abelt to mainly send the shutdown cmd if possible | 15:29 |
| High_Priest | Lass1, you can use both.. you can write to fat32 with native kernel support, and to ntfs via ntfs-3g | 15:29 |
| High_Priest | jordan_, you will be fine with ssh | 15:29 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: you can easially ssh into a linux box and do lots of things... | 15:29 |
| Pici | Magizian: This doesn't really sound related to Ubuntu then. You may want to try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##programming then | 15:29 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, is that any different than vnc | 15:29 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: ssh ? radically differnt then vnc | 15:30 |
| jordan_ | I read some articles about vnc but got nothing to work | 15:30 |
| bethdo97 | How do you edit the master boot record to eeliminate obsolete entries and gett the system to boot with out errors and loading multiple boot loaders | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | vnc is for local lan ussage. or to be ssh tunnled. | 15:30 |
| Magizian | er I came here to find a programmer with experience in porting pascal and delphi source to ubuntu.. | 15:30 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, is it better? | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: better dosent figture in to it... its a differnt kind of tool. | 15:30 |
| High_Priest | jordan_, that depends on what exactly you need.. | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | like compareing a band saw to a router table. :) | 15:31 |
| iiro_ | nomodeset seems to do the trick, thanks! | 15:31 |
| Magizian | but it looks like just users in here not programmers. | 15:31 |
| bethdo97 | How do you edit the master boot record to eeliminate obsolete entries and gett the system to boot with out errors and loading multiple boot loaders | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | iiro_: i have do use that on all my nvidia systems | 15:31 |
| sacarlson | Magizian: sounds like spam | 15:31 |
| jordan_ | High_Priest, lol, now Im kinda confused as to what i need, i have multiple machines (Desktop, server, two HTPC's) that I would like to remote into and control as if i was in front of it | 15:31 |
| iiro_ | that really sucks | 15:31 |

| === Estiqaatsi is now known as e-DIO-t | ||
| asiekierka | sacarlson it's not spam, i googled it | 15:32 |
| High_Priest | jordan_, if terminal access is enough for you, you are fine with ssh, if you need X, there are various options including vnc | 15:32 |
| iiro_ | I see | 15:32 |
| asiekierka | it sounds like a lame project | 15:32 |
| asiekierka | that will never go beyond ideas | 15:32 |
| erUSUL | bethdo97: the question makes little sense. the MBR is a very tiny part of a disk and tipicaly contains only the part of the ntldr ( windows) or part of grub | 15:32 |
| asiekierka | because, well | 15:33 |
| jordan_ | High_Priest, whats X , a gui interface? | 15:33 |
| MrMintanet | How can I test to see if my audio is working? I do not have any sound coming out of my speakers, and they used to work. I do not have the volume control in my top panel anymore... :( | 15:33 |
| High_Priest | jordan_, yes | 15:33 |
| asiekierka | how much would you rate WinDoze Magizia 2009 HyperTurbo OS 8 without seeing it | 15:33 |
| jordan_ | High_Priest, for either option would I be able to fully see what is happening on the other end | 15:33 |
| sacarlson | asiekierka: how is it related to ubuntu? | 15:33 |

| Dr_Willis | phaedral: actually gparted can proberly handle it all.. | 15:35 |
| High_Priest | jordan_, what do you mean by "fully see what is happening" ? with ssh you could see whatever you want as if you were logged in locally on the box itself.. same for vnc but in gui | 15:35 |
| sacarlson | llutz_: true they came first but it's still not related | 15:35 |
| MrMintanet | How can I test to see if my audio is working? I do not have any sound coming out of my speakers, and they used to work. I do not have the volume control in my top panel anymore... :( | 15:35 |

| phaedral | fdisk gives me the willies; will try gparted; thanks! | 15:36 |
| Dougwiser | hmm | 15:36 |
| jordan_ | High_Priest, remotely | 15:36 |
| Dougwiser | which usb modem is it | 15:36 |
| jordan_ | High_Priest, like in windows i mainly used logmein | 15:36 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: vnc can have a dozen + virtual desktops in addation to showing the 'currently visible desktop' | 15:36 |
| yuskhanzab | im using digi internet, modem model huawei 1550 | 15:36 |
| jordan_ | which allowed me to interface to the pc | 15:36 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: you may want to check out Teamviewer | 15:36 |
| High_Priest | yeah | 15:36 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, ah ok, will check it out now | 15:37 |
| High_Priest | teamviewer is nice and can be used on dynamic IPs | 15:37 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: you really should spend the time to learn ssh. ssh is just TOO handy to not learn | 15:37 |
| High_Priest | however, couldn't be run automatically on boot last time I checked | 15:37 |
| asiekierka | apparently that magiziguy is serious | 15:37 |
| asiekierka | but i scared him off | 15:37 |
| asiekierka | with actual knowledge | 15:37 |
| High_Priest | Dr_Willis, how does one learn ssh? rephrase your statement please to "you should learn CLI" | 15:38 |
| yuskhanzab | is there any clue you have Dougwiser ? | 15:38 |
| Dr_Willis | asiekierka: :) | 15:38 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, I'll take a shot at that ssh, where do i start | 15:38 |
| Dr_Willis | High_Priest: books... | 15:38 |
| jordan_ | like the basics | 15:38 |

| Dougwiser | I was looking for ubuntu support i have the same problem with a linksys WUSB54G | 15:38 |
| High_Priest | he doesn't need to know about secure shell protocol itself, he should rather learn command line interface :) | 15:38 |

| jordan_ | ah | 15:40 |
| jordan_ | ok | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: teamviewer did work nicely when i used it. | 15:40 |

| Dr_Willis | jordan_: start with the ubuntu manual. work you rway up. :) gnome does hafve a desktop-shareing feature. but its local lan only i hink | 15:41 |
| detox2 | what | 15:41 |
| jordan_ | High_Priest, sayyyyyyyyyyywhat, free, free stuff is the best stuff,lol | 15:41 |
| sacarlson | dom__: funny I wrote a lot of ruby code and never tried to access mysql with it, I wonder if there is a apt-get for it | 15:42 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, Im fine with just local | 15:42 |
| redbox | Dr_Willis: LogMeIn is for suckers who shell $69.95 per computer just to VNC their babies. | 15:42 |

| jordan_ | redbox, They offer a free version | 15:42 |

| CarlFK | redbox: dosn't if offer a relay so that no on needs to mess with firewalls (mainly forwarding into NAT) | 15:42 |
| redbox | jordan_: you can use ssh for free and they do far great job. :) | 15:43 |
| jordan_ | I tried starting with the default RDP, didnt get anywhere yet though | 15:43 |

| jordan_ | how do i start with that though | 15:45 |
| jordan_ | the vnc stuff | 15:45 |
| jrib | !vnc | jordan_ | 15:45 |
| ubottu | jordan_: 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 | 15:45 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, off of 10.10 do i need any additional packages etc | 15:45 |
| High_Priest | freeNX is a bitch to configure/run | 15:46 |
| ddi | hi guys is there a way to connect two monitors to a single ubuntu machine and display one workspace on monitor1 and workspace2 on monitor2 | 15:46 |

| pw-toxic | can someone tell me more about this? | 15:47 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: i would stick with the suff included in ubuntu. | 15:47 |
| ikonia | Lass11: installing ubuntu onto NTFS is a very bad idea | 15:47 |
| Lass11 | ikinia: why not? | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | pw-toxic: gparted automatically handles it i belive. | 15:48 |
| High_Priest | can you even install / on ntfs? I don't think so | 15:48 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, crap I just went to the teamviewer site and dled it and installed it | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | High_Priest: i dont think so | 15:48 |
| pw-toxic | Dr_Willis, yeah but i wanna create a raid1 so i have to work with with this manually | 15:48 |
| compdoc | pw-toxic, its a 4k sector drive? most new ones are. you have to concern yourself with alignment | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: we asked earlier if iut was a lan-lan connection or over the internet. :) | 15:48 |
| CarlFK | pw-toxic: i just formated a 2T a few days ago - no probem. | 15:48 |
| redbox | !dualmonitor | ddi | 15:48 |
| ubottu | ddi: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 15:48 |
| High_Priest | Lass11, probably it will split your ntfs partition and will use one part as root partition and will format it with linux filesystem | 15:48 |
| ddi | can i simply plug in a second graphics card and then display separate workspaces on each monitor. how to do it | 15:48 |
| pw-toxic | compdoc, how do i know what sectorsize i have? | 15:48 |
| jordan_ | oh, i thought u asked another user that question, my bad | 15:48 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, its def withing the lan | 15:49 |
| compdoc | pw-toxic, what model drive? | 15:49 |
| jordan_ | two htpc's are wireless, everything else wired | 15:49 |
| ikonia | Lass11: ntfs is not a supported file system for your root OS, it has many issues, eg: can't support the linux permisisons | 15:49 |
| pw-toxic | compdoc, hitachi 2TB | 15:49 |
| redbox | ddi: It all depends on your graphic card. Yeah, you could do that. Shut down. Plug the graphic card in. Plug the monitor in. Some graphic card (like mine) can handle two plugs in one card. | 15:49 |
| ddi | redbox: ok | 15:49 |
| ddi | redbox: what then | 15:49 |
| Corey-needhelp | hi i have a Dell m5030 and its running ubuntu 10.10, i have to add "linux acpi = off" to the grub thing, or else it won't boot, is there anyway to fix that? i want my battery percentage back | 15:50 |
| High_Priest | ddi, redbox, it also depends on the motherboard. not all mobos will support 2 graphic cards - at least to run at the same time | 15:50 |
| ddi | i hope it is not that complicated like i decided to cluster two machines to improve squids performance. i turned out reinstalling ubuntu.... | 15:50 |
| MrMintanet | How can I test to see if my audio is working? I do not have any sound coming out of my speakers, and they used to work. I do not have the volume control in my top panel anymore... :( | 15:50 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: the normal vnc stuff in gnome should work fine in most cases | 15:51 |
| redbox | ddi: Check Preferences/System. Ensure that you have enabled all restricted/additional drivers. Then look in Monitor or Nvidia (if Nvidia). I'm going to bed. It's not too difficult to be honest. | 15:51 |
| ddi | High_Priest thanks i think you are also right | 15:51 |
| compdoc | pw-toxic, alignment is easy to do - the latest gparted does it automatically. you just leave 1meg of free space before the first partition | 15:51 |
| ddi | :) | 15:51 |
| High_Priest | MrMintanet, try playing an mp3 at first | 15:51 |
| redbox | MrMintanet: Try "alsamixer" | 15:51 |

| ddi | High_Priest how do i set one work space on one monitor and workspcace2 on second monitor | 15:52 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, ah ok, cool then, How do i start that process, not trying to be lazy, i read a bunch of forums this morning and got nowhere then i came in here for help | 15:52 |
| High_Priest | ddi, 2 monitors are usually done via 1 graphic card which can do this | 15:52 |
| ddi | really? | 15:52 |
| Corey-needhelp | hello? | 15:52 |
| High_Priest | ddi, if your graphic card can connect 2 monitors, then connect them, next step would be to configure X server to send appropriate output | 15:53 |
| jordan_ | Corey-needhelp, suo corey | 15:53 |
| ddi | High_Priest and how do you achieve that with one graphics card | 15:53 |

| gaelfx | ddi: I believe you can set that up using the "Display" settings | 15:53 |
| gaelfx | ddi in preferences | 15:53 |
| compdoc | pw-toxic, google 4K-sector drives and Linux | 15:53 |

| ddi | really | 15:59 |
| ddi | more difficult? (&^&*%%#@( | 15:59 |
| High_Priest | ddi, same thing...doesn't change anything | 16:00 |
| High_Priest | ddi, you need a vga card which is cappable of connecting 2 monitors | 16:00 |
| High_Priest | and even when you get that | 16:00 |
| High_Priest | it seems it's somewhat tricky to achieve different workspaces on different monitors | 16:00 |
| gaelfx | ddi what kind of cards are they? | 16:00 |
| High_Priest | ddi, check http://www.ubuntugeek.com/dual-monitors-with-nvidia.html and http://superuser.com/questions/29834/fedora-dual-monitor-one-workspace-per-monitor | 16:01 |

But since volumes are stored at Storage controllers so this means that there is continuous movement of data (lots of GBs) in cloud network from SC to node and also the response time of work done on | 17:24 |
| Guest5191 | Hadoop instances will be slow due to time taken by data to travel in the network. | 17:24 |
| Guest5191 | I will really appreciate any sort of support on this. | 17:24 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, either they both are pretty usless, and would format the whole drive, how big is your HDD | 17:24 |

| ubottu | BitEncrypt: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 17:24 |
| zozo__ | jordan_: so not drivers? | 17:25 |
| bethdo97 | Is there a way to download the stuff for networking and for the missing video srivers everyone says is one ofthe problems with the wubi instal failure | 17:25 |
| astra-x | so if i modprobe uinput | 17:25 |
| zozo__ | jordan_: its 250 GB | 17:25 |
| astra-x | why does /dev/ not populate it? | 17:25 |
| pfifo | bethdo97, yes you can download the needed packages and put them on a CD or usb stick and install them offline | 17:25 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, if it did you would have the button to launch the software on the keyboard( think it looks like a house for the icon on my button) | 17:25 |
| jordan_ | no | 17:26 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, even if drivers were on there they would be usless to u | 17:26 |

| edwinkcw | ajaxterm question, I set the ajaxterm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AjaxTerm. It works greats and works on SSL also. However, my svn server is dead since my svn use https protocol also. How can I solve this problem? | 17:26 |
| zozo__ | ok i try it | 17:26 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, im pretty sure its jsut the dell recovery crap which again in your case( and everybody here) is useless because were all using linux not windows | 17:26 |

| _david_ | Lint01, Do you mind opening it up and seeing if you can't find the setting? I can't find it anywhere | 17:28 |

| kEnumerationE | The truth of the dilapidated rape. I love you girl. Cassie, I still smell the beach . I remember when we could chat on Guild Wars, and every whisper from you staggered my man-nipples . | 17:28 |

| ruan | how do i update clamtk antivirus? its reporting that its outdated and when i press check for updates it doesnt give me an update button, just lists updates.. can't update | 17:29 |
| Lint01 | _david_, sorry, I'm on XFCE right now | 17:29 |
| zozo__ | jordan_ can u see it? | 17:29 |
| _david_ | Lint01, Thanks anyway!! | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ruan: the 'client/front end' may be out dated. you can do 'sudo freshclam' and update the definitions. which is the critical part | 17:30 |
| jordan_ | not yet still googling | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ruan: clamtk is a front end to the clamav command line tools. | 17:30 |
| _david_ | What IRC client are you guys using? I'm using xchat, but I'd like for messages that include my nick to be in a different tab then the main windows. Know such a program? | 17:30 |
| jordan_ | ok | 17:30 |
| jordan_ | found what i have | 17:30 |
| overclucker | ruan: that sounds like a frontend to clamav | 17:30 |
| gfarmer | ok, here's a good one: how can I un-remove a file from an ext3 drive? | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | _david_: try the full xchat. not xchat-gnome. | 17:31 |
| waterloo2005 | I find tp_smapi.ko in /lib/modules . But in /etc/modules file , there is 'tp-smapi' . What is it on earth '_' or '-' ? thx | 17:31 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, its called Easy Media Access and this is what the dell site describes it as: | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | _david_: if someone msg's you it normally does make new tab. | 17:31 |
| jordan_ | Easy Media Access | 17:31 |
| jordan_ | With Dell MediaDirect, you can have fast, easy one-button access to movies, music, photos, & Microsoft Office content without starting Windows! | 17:31 |
| ruan | overclucker: yeah its a gui for clamav | 17:31 |
| pfifo | Dr_Willis, are you a C programmer? | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | jordan_: that sounds like software ive seen on laptops that never works very well. :) my HP had similer stuf. | 17:31 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, heres my laptop http://www.dell.com/us/en/dfh/notebooks/inspnnb_152x/pd.aspx?refid=inspnnb_152x&cs=22&s=dfh as a reference | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | pfifo: nope | 17:32 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, yeh which is wy i was tellin him its useless | 17:32 |
| jordan_ | Dr_Willis, it was a useless thing dell added | 17:32 |
| _david_ | Dr_Willis, I think it would show up in a new tab is someone / msg'd me, but not just mentioned my name in chat. | 17:32 |
| overclucker | ruan: try sudo freshclam | 17:32 |
| ruan | overclucker: i did that, it seems to have updated | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | _david_: new tabs for every time someone says your nick would get annoying | 17:33 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, u see the images of my keyboard on the link i sent | 17:33 |
| hhhzzzarn | Need help: I LOCKED myself from my vps, root password denied over ssh. | 17:33 |
| ruan | how do i upgrade to clamav 0.97? | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | hhhzzzarn: and how are we supposed to help that | 17:33 |
| zozo__ | jordan_: if its a media stuff its not totally useless: i would keep it. but something dosent work so i need to format | 17:33 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, if so the key that has an icon on it is the button that laucnhes the media utility without bootin windows | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | ruan: you need to worry about the virus definitions.. the other parts can be out of date. its not as criotical | 17:33 |
| ruan | Dr_Willis: ok | 17:34 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, u installing via usb drive or cdrom | 17:34 |
| hhhzzzarn | Dr_willis: I was following official ubuntu guide on freenx. At one point it says uncomment this: AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys2 | 17:34 |
| zozo__ | jordan_: do you think i can intsall that stuff later or should is make a backup? | 17:34 |
| jeand | ubuntu.fr | 17:35 |
| zozo__ | jordan_: cd rom | 17:35 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, well there wouldnt be anything to install later, it is independant of an OS | 17:35 |
| hhhzzzarn | I will reinstall my os again | 17:35 |
| hhhzzzarn | :(( | 17:35 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, ah, i installed my ubuntu via usb drive | 17:35 |
| gfarmer | any tips on recovering a file that has been deleted? | 17:36 |
| zozo__ | jordan_: but i would try to format whole disk, but to keep that media stuff | 17:36 |
| jeand | frances | 17:36 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, all i did was boot from whatever your linux is on( your case the cdrom) and I chose the install as opposed to the try linux | 17:36 |
| hhhzzzarn | gfarmer: use photorec. | 17:36 |
| cjohnston | Is there a wubi 10.04.2? | 17:36 |
| Jonii^ | Hey, Ubuntu + Full disk encryption? | 17:36 |
| overclucker | hhhzzzarn: if a ssh key doesn't match it asks for a password | 17:36 |
| StSapph | Question which may or may not be applicable here. I'm running an Ubuntu server, and it is no longer responding to pings or attempts to connect via SSH, but Apache running on it still serves pages without issue. Any clue what could be causing this? | 17:36 |
| cjohnston | StSapph: might want to try #ubuntu-server | 17:37 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, then in that case if ur trying to keep that stuff( waste) leave that partition alone and install ubuntu over your reg windows partition | 17:37 |
| hhhzzzarn | overclucker: I will just just reinstall os. | 17:37 |
| Jonii^ | What do I do, and does it help? | 17:37 |
| evilsushi | so I switched to the nvidia drivers and now when I boot it has crappy resolution on the boot splash | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Jonii^: seen that cause issues for some people in here.. :) be sure you understand how it works | 17:37 |
| hhhzzzarn | gfarmer: Seach photorec | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Jonii^: i suggest learning ubuntu basics first. | 17:37 |
| StSapph | cjohnston: Thanks, will do. | 17:37 |
| evilsushi | Do I need to set the boot resolution or something? | 17:37 |
| gfarmer | it's not in the repositories? | 17:37 |
| jeand | bjr t t le monde | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | evilsushi: plymouth and nvidia hate each other.. there are some sites with possible plymouyth fix's | 17:38 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, before that though let me se eif your laptop even has the media garbage | 17:38 |
| Jonii^ | Dr_Willis, what are the basics? Where to learn those? | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | evilsushi: i just disable plymouth | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | Jonii^ | 17:38 |
| ubottu | Jonii^: 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/ | 17:38 |

| hhhzzzarn | gfarmer: Download testdisk, testdisk and photorec same package i believe. | 17:38 |
| overclucker | hhhzzzarn: if you have physical access to reinstall, just boot a live cd and remove the key file | 17:39 |
| hhhzzzarn | overclucker: it is vps. | 17:39 |
| hhhzzzarn | thank you anyways. | 17:39 |
| Jonii^ | Also, why does Flash keep crashing? | 17:39 |
| overclucker | ah, oh well | 17:39 |
| zozo__ | jordan_ no thats not | 17:39 |
| jordan_ | can u send me the link for your laptop | 17:39 |
| hhhzzzarn | gfarmer: testdisk and photrec works through command. | 17:39 |
| mathias56 | Hi, what is best ubuntu installation for a blender render server? | 17:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Jonii^: because adobe dosnet like to put much effort into linux. :( | 17:40 |
| jordan_ | that link said it was a m5010 | 17:40 |
| evilsushi | Dr_Willis: not sure what that is, kernel module? | 17:40 |
| overclucker | hhhzzzarn: at least you don't have to install it yourself . .. | 17:40 |
| gfarmer | hhhzzzarn: ok, I'll try it out | 17:40 |
| Dr_Willis | evilsushi: its just a program that starts when system boots. | 17:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !plymouth | 17:40 |
| ubottu | Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » | 17:40 |
| mathias56 | I am guessing desktop so that blender will install correct? | 17:40 |
| Dr_Willis | evilsushi: you can disable it via editing /etc/default/grub and change the 'nosplash quiet' to '' (ie delete the 2 words) | 17:41 |
| hhhzzzarn | I might come back for help for installing freenx. | 17:41 |
| zozo__ | jordan_ mine is tomething like this: http://www.dell.com/us/en/dfh/notebooks/inspiron-15-amd-m5030/pd.aspx?refid=inspiron-15-amd-m5030&s=dfh&cs=22 | 17:41 |
| Dr_Willis | hhhzzzarn: i found the freenx wiki page rather confuseing | 17:41 |
| evilsushi | Dr_Willis: I still would like to change my console resolution, its using 800x600 or something stupid | 17:41 |
| evilsushi | Dr_Willis: crazy big text | 17:41 |
| hhhzzzarn | hhhzzzarn: me too. | 17:41 |
| Dr_Willis | evilsushi: replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' and it will also disable the framebuffer i think | 17:41 |
| evilsushi | Dr_Willis: I know grub had a vga=ask flag, but seems depreciated in grub2 | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | evilsushi: i never noticed the fonts big on my consoles. | 17:42 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, doesnt look like yours came with the garbage media thing anyway | 17:42 |
| aliverius | on other distros i do `init 3` to stop the X session. how do i do that with ubuntu? | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | evilsushi: it is no longer valid. the grub2 docs/wiki pages give other ways tpo tweak the res | 17:42 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, so i'd delete the whole drive | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | aliverius: stop the gdm service -> sudo service gdm stop | 17:42 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, and install ubuntu over all 250 GB | 17:42 |
| llutz_ | aliverius: sudo service gdm stop | 17:42 |

| jordan_ | partycat2012, hello | 17:43 |
| evilsushi | Dr_Willis: I'll look into it, I am not sure if plymouth calls dm-crypt for the encryption password during the splash.. I'll have to RTFM | 17:43 |
| frojnd | I have this strange feeling that my hardware is failing just don't know which one... | 17:43 |
| frojnd | For example not on 5 days server becomes unstable | 17:43 |
| senorpedro | is the following possible: ssh access only to 2 users, BUT: user1 shall be allowed only with keys, user2 with pw and key? | 17:43 |
| Dr_Willis | evilsushi: i dint use those crypt stuff. so not sure. | 17:43 |
| frojnd | first I can't ssh to it | 17:43 |
| drc | jordan_ zozo__ : think about it before you wipe the DellUtilities partition | 17:43 |
| moegreen | whats a good program for data recovery for fat32 drives? | 17:43 |
| evilsushi | moegreen: partition magic is a live bootable has tons of tools | 17:44 |

| Amithiel | guys, since i only use google chrome, is it safe completely removing firefox from ubuntu 10.10? or will my system become instable in some way? | 17:44 |
| Amithiel | unstable* | 17:44 |
| jordan_ | drc, that was my recommendation cause if hes switching over to use ubuntu like i did then he prob could care less about dropping the windows crap on the partition | 17:44 |
| ikonia | Amithiel: it's really small, is it worth removing it | 17:44 |
| evilsushi | moegreen: check distrowatch.org | 17:44 |
| jordan_ | drc, right? | 17:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Amithiel: i would just leave firfox.. just in case. | 17:45 |
| tfitts | if I have 2 network cards in my computer how do I figure out which one it is using to try to connect to the internet | 17:45 |
| hhhzzzarn | moegreen: Definitely photorec and testdisk. | 17:45 |
| ikonia | Amithiel: it's linked into the desktop, you can remove it, but is it really worth it | 17:45 |
| overclucker | senorpedro: assign a key when you creat it with ssh-keygen | 17:45 |
| ikonia | tfitts: only one will have an IP address | 17:45 |
| evilsushi | tfitts: unplug one of the ethernet cables from a nic? | 17:45 |
| hhhzzzarn | testdisk did me magic. | 17:45 |
| Amithiel | hum, i see. tks guys, guess i'll leave it alone :) | 17:45 |
| moegreen | cool...looks like photorec is working | 17:45 |
| moegreen | thx | 17:45 |
| tfitts | ok, one is connected directly to my modem and has a public ip address, the other is connected to my local network through the router. | 17:45 |

| seeeker | good morning from australia.. anyone got experience with alsa-base? cant get front panel audio working with ALC888 | 17:47 |

| jordan_ | drc, i was mainly saying to throw out the dell recovery partition | 17:48 |
| zozo__ | jordan_, drc : do you think i could save that partition image before deleting whole hdd? | 17:48 |
| V-ille | Any suggestions for a comic book reader? For cbz? Can evince read them? | 17:49 |
| jordan_ | drc, as in if he wanted to fix windows he could restore his laptop | 17:49 |
| noiano | I have created a new user using the adduser command but when logging in using gnome I only get a graphic terminal :( why?? | 17:49 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, not to my knowledge | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | V-ille: thers one or 2 in the repos. and yes the pdf readers can normally read them | 17:49 |
| drc | jordan_: ah...my bad, probably my fault for coming and going (puppies have to pee :) | 17:49 |

| gfarmer | hhhzzzarn: so I'm trying to recover a *.tex file, will it find it? | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | V-ille: try them all. | 17:50 |
| trism | V-ille: I like comix, but it hasn't been updated in a while | 17:50 |
| hhhzzzarn | gfarmer: Wheny i used testdisk, I was trying to recovers folders which got reformatted. | 17:50 |
| zozo__ | drc what is that utility partition? | 17:50 |
| hhhzzzarn | gfarmer: so a simple file should be very easy | 17:50 |
| V-ille | Dr_Willis: that's the usual way, although I may stop trying if one of them feels comfortable :P | 17:51 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, so yeh, ur laptop doesnt have what i was referring to earlier about the media software, so i would take all the HDD and boot ubuntu | 17:51 |
| pigdude | how do i change name of logged in user? usermod -l newname currentname # doesn't work because the user is logged in | 17:51 |
| hhhzzzarn | gfarmer: let me start my testdisk. so i can help you along. | 17:51 |
| pigdude | can you only change login name of a user who has absolutely no running processes?? | 17:51 |
| zozo__ | jordan_, maybe system self chack? | 17:52 |

| jordan_ | zozo__, again i took out the whole drive and put a diff one in and my laptop runs fine | 17:53 |
| ikonia | zozo__: if you think you have something worth keeping on a partition, keep it, if not partition the disk as best works for you | 17:53 |

| === Moroni is now known as Abinadi | ||
| zozo__ | ikonia: yes i tried to partition the rest of disk but something does not work, ubuntu stops installation, thats why i am thinking of deleting all | 17:56 |
| jordan_ | zozo__, u get my PM | 17:56 |
| ikonia | zozo__: define "stops" what happens | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis | zozo__: Ive seen new windows machines with 4 primary partitons setup. which makes it hard to install ubuntu on them | 17:56 |

| gfarmer | hhhzzzarn: ok, thanks for the help | 17:59 |
| endeavor | ikonia: i'm bringing it up now | 18:00 |
| ikonia | endeavor: the most common cause for that behaviour is a kernel panic | 18:00 |
| zozo__ | ikonia: i mean stops: black screen | 18:01 |
| ikonia | zozo__: why do you think that's a partition issue ? | 18:01 |
| Jonii^ | Bwah, Ubuntu help files only have a article about file system encryption, which, as far as I know, leaves file names, directory structure and file sizes all visible | 18:02 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: no it doesn't | 18:02 |

| === derp is now known as Guest12030 | ||
| Jonii^ | "Unlike disk encryption, filesystem-level encryption does not typically encrypt filesystem metadata, such as the directory structure, file names, modification timestamps or sizes." | 18:04 |
| zozo__ | ikonia: installing ubuntu, but gparted boots properly | 18:04 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: yes, "meta data" | 18:04 |
| hhhzzzarn | gfarmer: which part are you at? | 18:05 |
| Jonii^ | ikonia, yes. So it's only halfway there. | 18:05 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: it's not | 18:05 |
| Jonii^ | ikonia, how so? Attacker being able to see filenames, filesizes, directories and modification timestamps is alone quite huge breach. Full-disk encryption would protect against that, file system encryption would not | 18:07 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: he can only see that if the system is running and breaches an unencyrpted for runtime use file system | 18:07 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: do what you want, but the gonverments are normally happy with file system encyrption, | 18:07 |
| === sshc_ is now known as sshc | ||
| Jonii^ | O | 18:08 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: encypt a file system, take out the disk, put it in another machine, try to mount it, you won't see the filenames, directories or permissions, you'll see nothing | 18:08 |
| Jonii^ | I'm having trouble parsing the sentence "if the system is running and breaches an unencyrpted for runtime use file system" | 18:08 |
| sshc | If I've set up multiple users, is it possible to configure ubuntu to automatically log in to one? | 18:08 |

| Hedgehog456 | hello, i've burned ubuntu onto a cd, but when i try to boot it, it says about an error and starting a new desktop session, and then crashes | 18:11 |
| ikonia | Hedgehog456: write down the error and let us know what it is | 18:11 |
| hhhzzzarn | hedgehog546: did you image burner verify files? | 18:11 |
| Hedgehog456 | No, why? | 18:11 |
| Jonii^ | ikonia, "In other words, if files are stored with identifying file names, anyone who has access to the physical disk can know which documents are stored on the disk, although not the contents of the documents." | 18:11 |
| Jonii^ | Wikipedia seems to be disagreeing with you | 18:12 |
| hhhzzzarn | hedgehog546: To check if you exactly copied the image to the cd. | 18:12 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: no, that's not what I said | 18:12 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: test it, encypt a file system, try to mount and read data from it | 18:12 |
| Hedgehog456 | oh | 18:12 |
| Hedgehog456 | should i reburn then and verify? | 18:12 |
| Hedgehog456 | and do it at a very low speed? | 18:12 |
| hhhzzzarn | hedgehog546: Yes incase, it will save alot of trouble. | 18:12 |
| Jonii^ | ikonia, wikipedia claims that is possible | 18:12 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: try it | 18:12 |
| hhhzzzarn | hedgehog546: which burner are you using? | 18:12 |

| Hedgehog456 | yes :( | 18:14 |
| hhhzzzarn | windows 7? | 18:14 |
| Jonii^ | ikonia, would take days of effort to do that. Either I find out data structure, and thus file system encryption was way too weak for me, or I don't manage to extract data, which proves nothing as I'm computer newbie with very low understanding of how to start extracting that sort of information | 18:14 |

| Anabasis | Hello, I have a few question about installing from a .tar.bz2 or tarballs in general, I'm stuck at the './configure' part, it tells me 'No such file or directory' & I'm not sure what to do... | 18:15 |
| hhhzzzarn | because if you have windows 7, it could burn by default too. | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: so why don't you trust what I'm saying, you won't be able to read the file system information, such as file names unless you unencypt it | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Anabasis: be sure you are in the extracted arvhives directory . see3 if there is a configfure file | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: what are you trying to install ? | 18:15 |
| maco | Anabasis: is there an autogen file and a configure.in? | 18:15 |
| Jonii^ | So, both ways, I have used few days to do something rather pointless. Rather than start with that, I'd like to hear why your explanation and wikipedia conflict like that | 18:15 |
| maco | Anabasis: "./configure && make && sudo make install" isn't universal | 18:15 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: do what you want | 18:15 |
| hhhzzzarn | hedge: try to find out, you can try another image burner program. | 18:15 |
| maco | Anabasis: or maybe there's a CMakeLists.txt? or a setup.py? or scons? | 18:16 |
| Jonii^ | Wikipedia claims physical access to the disk is enough to find out information about directory structure, you claim it's not, with no explanation as to why there is such an obvious conflict | 18:16 |
| Anabasis | Uhhh... Wow... lots of people trying to help... | 18:16 |
| Hedgehog456 | should i do the burning at 0.4x? | 18:16 |
| Anabasis | I am in the extracted file. | 18:16 |
| ikonia | Jonii^: it's nothing to do with ubuntu, we've already gone offtopic discussing it, do what you feel you need to | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Hedgehog456: 4x peryhaps.. | 18:16 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: what are you trying to install ? | 18:16 |
| Anabasis | Google said about looking for intall helps which I don't see. | 18:16 |
| Anabasis | I am trying to install Celtx. | 18:16 |
| Anabasis | & I don't see an autogen or the other thing either. | 18:17 |
| Anabasis | & if you haven't worked it out yet, Yes I am still new to Linux... | 18:17 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: one moment, just having a quick read on it | 18:17 |
| maco | Jonii^: ecryptfs DOES encrypt metadata and filenames. this was added in the middle of an ubuntu release's development and the developer sent out a notice warning everyone that if they were on the old version they'd need to do x, y, and z to get upgrade to the new way. this was at least a year ago | 18:18 |
| Anabasis | Okay, thank you. | 18:18 |
| Anabasis | Am I correct in what I am doing in that you untar it, then cd to that directory & just type './configure' ? Or is there something else before & or after? | 18:19 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: please just wait | 18:19 |
| maco | Jonii^: if i run ls -a /home/.ecryptfs/maco/.Private i get filenames such as: ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.FWaxYSZm95XJ6URKmg6kZGC8bTzHdES9DyfY3jAviVZVkG6UK9teRt9otE-- | 18:20 |
| Anabasis | Sorry, wasn't meaning to rush you, just wanted to know as a generality. | 18:20 |
| maco | Jonii^: so its not just encrypting individual files, it's encrypting everything | 18:20 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: generally, yes that is wrong to blindly do that | 18:20 |
| Anabasis | Lol. | 18:20 |

| Docfxit | How can I get Ubuntu 10.10 to use persistence? | 18:23 |
| sznitzeln | Hi! I am pretty new to linux and currently running Debian Squeeze. I'm considering to dualboot with Ubuntu aswell, so I have two questions: | 18:23 |
| ikonia | Docfxit: in what way | 18:23 |
| Anabasis | Okay I have found it... | 18:24 |
| sznitzeln | 1) I have a radeon HD6850 graphics card and i need catalyst 11.1 , can i have that on ubuntu? | 18:24 |
| Anabasis | Not what I was expecting... | 18:24 |
| ibrahim | i need a program which control the power like the one in windows 7 ? | 18:24 |
| Docfxit | ikonia, I installed Ubuntu on a thumb drive. I have a file created called casper-rw. I'd like Ubuntu to use it. | 18:24 |
| sznitzeln | 2) if i install ubuntu, what additional partitions do you recommend? now I have root, home, swap for debian | 18:25 |
| Anabasis | Where is the Linux equivalent of 'program files'? | 18:25 |
| ikonia | Docfxit: there is a factoid for that. | 18:25 |
| hhhzzzarn | ibrahim: power? | 18:25 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: there isn't one | 18:25 |
| hhhzzzarn | ibrahim: do you have laptop? | 18:25 |
| ikonia | sznitzeln: be warned due to how grub2 works with ubuntu, I would suggest keeping them on totally seperate hard disks | 18:25 |
| ibrahim | yes | 18:25 |
| Docfxit | ikonia, What is a factoid? | 18:25 |
| ikonia | Docfxit: let me see if I can find the factoid | 18:25 |
| hhhzzzarn | znetziln: i have root home and swap. no more. | 18:25 |
| ikonia | !persistence | 18:25 |
| Anabasis | ikonia , where do things which are installed run from? | 18:25 |
| ubottu | To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence | 18:25 |
| Anabasis | Somewhere in Home? | 18:26 |
| sznitzeln | hhhzzzarn, but do you dualboot? | 18:26 |
| sznitzeln | ikonia, thx for warning... | 18:26 |
| ikonia | Docfxit: there you go | 18:26 |
| ikonia | !persistence | Docfxit | 18:26 |
| ubottu | Docfxit: please see above | 18:26 |
| hhhzzzarn | sznitzen: with windows, yes | 18:26 |
| ibrahim | hhzzzarn:yes | 18:26 |
| dios_mio | sznitzeln, you dont really need seperate partitions, only if you think you would reformat and would want to keep personal files.. etc | 18:26 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: lots of different locations | 18:26 |
| Anabasis | Lol okay... | 18:26 |
| hhhzzzarn | ibrahim: wait | 18:26 |
| dios_mio | sznitzeln, you need seperate partition at least for swap though | 18:26 |
| ilessthan3ubuntu | i dont use SWAP | 18:26 |
| ilessthan3ubuntu | not needed if you got the memory | 18:26 |
| dios_mio | true | 18:26 |
| ilessthan3ubuntu | and im dual booted | 18:26 |
| brock | I am having trouble with eucalyptus uec install, anyone that has knowlege would be helpfull thank you | 18:26 |
| sznitzeln | dios_mio, doesnt the ubuntu and debian files get mixed up then? | 18:26 |
| kinja | is this where ii would come if i had a question about running ubuntu server? | 18:27 |
| Hedgehog456 | is 0.4x a good speed to burn a ubuntu live CD on InfraRecorder? | 18:27 |

| ubottu | Anabasis this may be informative: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier | 18:27 |
| ikonia | kinja: here or #ubuntu-server | 18:27 |
| dios_mio | sznitzeln, well obviously you need a blank partition to install ubuntu on... but you do not need more than one to put everything in | 18:27 |
| ilessthan3ubuntu | id use a swap but my drive already has too many partitions | 18:27 |
| Anabasis | Ikonia, what would be a good or standard procedure for installation from .tars in the future? In that would it be best to move the tart home & untar there? | 18:27 |
| sznitzeln | dios_mio, ok, so i have a separate /home folder? | 18:28 |
| maco | Anabasis: home or /tmp | 18:28 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: each one is different, my advice is "don't use them" if you have to read the documentation first | 18:28 |
| maco | Anabasis: but keeping in mind that /tmp is emptied on reboot | 18:28 |
| dios_mio | sznitzeln, debian has seperate partitions for /home and /root etc, but this is just tradition, not a necessity | 18:28 |
| hhhzzzarn | sznitzel, you home folders should be different. | 18:28 |
| Docfxit | ikonia, Thanks for your help | 18:28 |
| Anabasis | Didn't know that Maco, thank you. | 18:28 |
| Hedgehog456 | is 0.4x a good speed to burn a ubuntu live CD on InfraRecorder? | 18:28 |
| hhhzzzarn | sznitzel: best thing to have two saperate sets of partitions. | 18:28 |
| Anabasis | Maco that is what you generally do? | 18:28 |
| maco | Anabasis: as far as how to install from them... it varies project to project. with experience you'll learn how different build systems work | 18:28 |
| Docfxit | ubottu, Thank you for the link. I will read through it. | 18:29 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:29 |
| Anabasis | Ikonia why is that your advise? | 18:29 |
| hhhzzzarn | snitzel: don't mix them. | 18:29 |
| maco | Anabasis: because uninstalling what's been installed from tarballs is annoying | 18:29 |
| kinja | oh ok, well I have a live disk for 32bit server abd=nd as it gets through the installation process it gets to ab point where itll say "checking hardware and the bar will get to arounf 90% and the screen goes blue and i guess it stops | 18:29 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: because unless you really know and understand what you are doing you can break your system | 18:29 |
| Anabasis | Okay. | 18:29 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: more often than not the package will already be pre-built and packaged for use in ubuntu | 18:29 |
| Anabasis | Okay... | 18:29 |
| ikonia | Anabasis: if you open the software package manager and search for software you'll normally find everything you want | 18:29 |
| kinja | and I was wondering if thats because my hardware isnt up to date enough | 18:29 |
| maco | Anabasis: oh and that too... since you might replace something you already have with a newer incompatible version.... | 18:29 |
| pwillman | Excuse me, which is better for ubuntu... Ext3 or 4? | 18:30 |
| sznitzeln | ok i see | 18:30 |
| ibrahim | hhhzzzarn:i know that but i need smth which decrease the use of the processor and the ram which decrease the power consumed not decreaser the brightness | 18:30 |
| Anabasis | I can see me breaking a few things in future... | 18:30 |
| rww | pwillman: either will work fine. ext4 is somewhat faster. | 18:30 |
| maco | pwillman: either is fine. use 3 if you want to something well-tested by age. 4 if you want speed or have an SSD | 18:30 |
| Anabasis | Lots of food for thought, thank you both for you assistance, it's greatly appreciated. | 18:30 |
| sznitzeln | can someone also explain, what is a good method for reinstalling linux? should i reformat root, keep home and then install all programs and packages all over again? | 18:30 |
| pwillman | Maco, ext4 can be runned from raid hdd? | 18:31 |
| sznitzeln | or is it better to keep an image of root and restore the root partition? | 18:31 |
| Nisstyre | sznitzeln, why on earth would you want to reinstall? | 18:31 |
| maco | pwillman: believe so | 18:31 |
| sznitzeln | Nisstyre, hopefully i wont have to... but if i mess up my ssytem som day | 18:31 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | Ok, when I had 10.4, everything was peachy, tutorials on how to get things worked always, I never had any trouble, ever since getting Maverick, all I've had was one problem after another. The most recent one is, I can't update because I get the message "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. ", and I get it when I want to install pretty much anything. | 18:31 |
| hhhzzzarn | ibrahim: sorry i can not help with that detailed. I would not know of any myself. After all, I am new too. | 18:32 |
| maco | sznitzeln: dpkg --get-selections and dpkg --set-selections are your friends for reinstalling stuff | 18:32 |
| sznitzeln | im used to windows where you should really reinstall every 3 years or so... maybe thats not necessary with linux | 18:32 |
| pwillman | maco, alright thx for info | 18:32 |
| sznitzeln | maco, thx! | 18:32 |
| Anabasis | 3 years? | 18:32 |
| Anabasis | Wow that's a long time... | 18:32 |
| sznitzeln | maybe much shorter | 18:32 |
| sznitzeln | yeah | 18:32 |
| jmwpc | 3 years seems, optimistic | 18:32 |
| Nisstyre | sznitzeln, you don't need to reinstall it ever | 18:32 |
| maco | sznitzeln: ubuntu can be reinstalled to the same partition and not erase /home if you tell it not to format, but i dont think most other distros' installers are that way, so if you intend to switch distros, a separate /home could be useful | 18:32 |
| ibrahim | hhhzzzarn: thank you | 18:32 |
| Anabasis | For me it could be as little as a month lol | 18:32 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | You shouldn't re-install it ever, there's no need | 18:32 |
| sznitzeln | i hate reinstalling stuff... | 18:32 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | Unless you fail extremely hard at using computers | 18:32 |
| Hedgehog456 | is 0.4x a good speed to burn a ubuntu live CD on InfraRecorder? | 18:32 |
| Raynes | When I sent a file to an Ubuntu powered computer via bluetooth, where does Ubuntu store this file? | 18:32 |
| dios_mio | sznitzeln, well in ubuntu we format and reinstall every 6 months, because they put out a new version of ubuntu every 6 months LOL | 18:32 |
| Pici | !who | 18:32 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 18:33 |
| xangua | Just add the keys of the repositories you added Macstheyjustsuck | 18:33 |
| Pici | Hedgehog456: thats fine. | 18:33 |
| Raynes | s/send/sent/ | 18:33 |
| ilessthan3ubuntu | acronis!!! badass | 18:33 |
| Hedgehog456 | is it better than, say 2x? | 18:33 |
| maco | Macstheyjustsuck: i can think of a reason someone VERY goood with computers could need to reinstall | 18:33 |
| sznitzeln | dios_mio, yeah, well i can live with it if theres a good method of doing it | 18:33 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | maco: What's that? | 18:33 |
| maco | Macstheyjustsuck: like because they're alpha testing a new release and got a broken syslinux | 18:33 |
| sznitzeln | my windows reinstallations were very painful | 18:33 |
| Nisstyre | dios_mio, that's incorrect. You don't need to reinstall it to upgrade your packages | 18:33 |
| maco | Macstheyjustsuck: or a broken libc6 | 18:33 |
| Jonii^ | This ecryptfs sounds a bit too good to be true. It encrypts everything so that linux access control decides who can open an encrypted file, reliably, so that no third party can do anything unless they have linux access to that file, which again can't be faked because the system is encrypted? | 18:33 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | maco: I'm talking about an OS like Windows 7 XD | 18:33 |
| dios_mio | Nisstyre, sure i know, but some (like me) just format lol | 18:33 |
| maco | Macstheyjustsuck: i believe it was 8.04 where libc6 broke around beta | 18:33 |
| jmwpc | Windows 7 is solid enough that it can go a couple of year, at least until you upgrade your hardware which will cause it to think that it's being pirated, driving you to linux.... this never needing reinstallation. | 18:34 |
| Macstheyjustsuck | maco: Not a beta, beta OS' are understandable | 18:34 |
| hhhzzzarn | hedgehog546: 0.4x? | 18:34 |
| jmwpc | (this -> thus) | 18:34 |
| Hedgehog456 | is 0.4x a better live cd burning speed than 2x? | 18:34 |
| * Assid moved to linux primarily cause i wanted to do less with my pc | 18:34 | |
| Macstheyjustsuck | xangua: How would I do that? I fail at Ubuntu. | 18:34 |
| maco | Jonii^: it decrypts everything when you login. your login password is used to encrypt the encryption password. /after/ it's been unencrypted by your login, THEN the linux ACLs take over because at that point, it's viewed by the OS as a normal filesystem | 18:35 |

| Petskull | hey- I wrote a game that uses files from it's own folder, when I make hard links or symlinks to the desktop, it looks for the files on the desktop instead of in it's own dir. How do I make a shortcut to the desktop that allows my game to find it's files? | 18:41 |

| elijah__ | is unity going to replace nautilus? | 18:41 |

| derango | I see the blurry colorful background, hear the tribal drums, but nothing more | 18:43 |

| ibrahim_ | can any body help me in making a power controler which help me in controlling the laptop'spower consumption because the processor's fan gets verry hot air ?? | 18:44 |

| hhhzzzarn | ibrahim: maybe this will help | 18:44 |
| Petskull | Dr_Willis, any way to set it's 'from' dir to be the original one? | 18:44 |

| chaos2358 | OK I have an ipod nano "wifes" and I am trying to find an itunes alternative for ubuntu 10.10. I did some research and found that the "Banshee" media player is the way to go but it doesn't work. neither does rythym box. They both show the ipod in devices and will let you see the files" songs on it" and even will give the option to sync libraries but it never actually syncs nor will it allow me to remove music from the ipod.

| Asstyx | Dr_Willis, i was joking ;) | 19:11 |
| Dr_Willis | UbuntuWantaBe: you can install ubuntu to a usb hard drive. you just need to be carefull at the end. and be sure the installe ris installing grub to the portable drive. | 19:11 |
| Dr_Willis | UbuntuWantaBe: then theres 'persistant live install' you can do to flash drives. | 19:11 |

| deadpigeon | why would firefox and all other browsers start displaying websites improperly? it almost looks as if it's a CSS issue, ie: there is no page styles | 19:15 |
| deadpigeon | no matter what i've tried reinstalling, uninstalling, can not fix this issue without reformating. | 19:15 |
| jmwpc | deadpigeon: maybe a plugin (like adblock) is blocking all css files? | 19:16 |

| Adom | Nattgew_: seems like it should be possible somehow if feh can use nautilus-mounted share but not fstab-mounted share | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | photofroggy: then if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see the NTFS partition and the Linux partitions on the disk? | 20:08 |
| Lass1 | nattgew: i know ho to see boot menu but i cant see it, when i start my computer i press F12 then boot menu comes but i can see it | 20:08 |
| Nattgew_ | Adom: I did find a guide that used feh and it had you sync the files locally before using feh, not sure if it's because feh won't work | 20:08 |
| Adom | can anyone tell me differences between a auto-nautilus-mounted share (in ~/.gvfs) and an fstab mounted share? | 20:08 |
| photofroggy | ActionParsnip: yes | 20:08 |
| Adom | Nattgew_: i guess thats an option, but id like to avoid copying the files to the local machine if possible | 20:09 |
| photofroggy | ActionParsnip: pretty sure it's sda5 | 20:09 |
| ActionParsnip | photofroggy: then as nha says, you probably just overwrote the bootloader. You can use the LiveCD to reinstate the loader | 20:09 |

| ActionParsnip | brunot: you can use gnome-schedule to cron as user (or: gksudo gnome-scedule to cron as root) | 20:16 |

| raving | maco, I thought exec replaced the shell's process image | 20:38 |
| brunot | maco: just "exec test" or "exec test &" | 20:38 |
| maco | raving: hrmmm not really sure how it works under the hood. i just remember if you have a shell script, it doesnt move on to the next command til the previous exits, so you have to exec to make it run stuff parallel | 20:39 |

| Luis_ | ActionParsnip, i have used nautilus but that didn't seem to do anything so (using a guide) i've manually set up smb via terminal, i really can't get my head around it, if nautilus "uses" the samba packages why is it that if i set it up via terninal and do nothing with nautilus it will show all shares as being disabled and vice verca, if i set my shares up in nautilus, samba's options will remain unchanged | 21:56 |

| Luis_ | ActionParsnip, so once you've set things up through terminal using smb, you dont really need to do the same through nautilus, in fact you can leave sharing thgough nautilus set as disable? is this correct? | 22:14 |

| mustangg_ | does the hdparm multicount parameter apply equally to sata as well as pata hd's? | 22:23 |

| WALoeIII | graphicsmagick | 22:23 |
| d4n1s | How do I run the compiled program?????????? | 22:23 |
| LjL | WALoeIII: i don't think there is, because apt cannot know where the maverick repository is in the first place if you don't provide it. of course, you could also always get the package from a web browser manually, but a source package is made of three files, so that could be annoying | 22:23 |
| LjL | xangua: why? | 22:23 |
| LjL | xangua: what's wrong with getting a source package? | 22:24 |

| Adom | todd_dsm: the alias command shows a list of any aliases currently in effect. aliases are usually stored in either .bashrc or .bash_aliases | 22:44 |
| Adom | todd_dsm: short and simple if you want to add more aliases, put them in .bash_aliases (you might have to create it) | 22:44 |
| todd_dsm | Adom: that's what I was looking for, but these files are not listed with ls -al | 22:44 |

| cosgroveb | is title MS Windows 7 root (hd0, 0) savedefault makeactive chainloader +1 correct ? | 22:45 |
| Adom | todd_dsm: by default in ubuntu there is no .bash_aliases file but .bashrc still looks for one, so if you create it, it will source it on login | 22:45 |

| Adom | todd_dsm: its also good practice to leave .bashrc alone if possible, hence the reason to put user-defined aliases in .bash_aliases | 22:46 |
| waza-ari | Hey, is there any video capture software with jack support? | 22:46 |

| cgcardona | hello - how can I figure out where phpmyadmin is installed on my ubuntu? | 22:48 |
| Adom | cgcardona: you could try "find / -iname phpmyadmin 2>/dev/null" but it might take a while | 22:48 |
| Adom | cgcardona: not sure where the default location is | 22:48 |
| waza-ari | cgcardona, if you mean the package version, just try dpkg -l | grep phpmyadmin | 22:49 |
| entityreborn | Having a bit of an issue on a strange setup. | 22:49 |
| waza-ari | cgcardona, if you installed it manually, just try /usr/share/phpmyadmin or something in /var/www | 22:49 |

| bc81 | entityreborn: no idea..have you rebooted with the external display connected? | 22:55 |
| entityreborn | bc81, yes | 22:55 |
| entityreborn | works 100% under windows, tho that doesn't account for much. | 22:55 |

| entityreborn | Yep | 22:55 |
| bc81 | hrm.. | 22:55 |
| entityreborn | While installing I had thought it was a liveCD bug, but it continued into the installed OS as well | 22:56 |
| todd_dsm | I'll use the spotchat channel; that should go a little further for me. Thanks again | 22:56 |

| cache_surplus | question about backup. i am trying to find what is the best backup solution for my home dir to a USB drive 1 terabyte. what i would like is for a cron like job backup daily while i am using this laptop. I would also like a solution for backup to a remote server in my network. could someone with experience doing so, help me for a bit? i have used backup simple backup prior, but i am a bit confused about how the data is store | 23:07 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: could use rsync | 23:07 |
| jrib | cache_surplus: do you want incremental backups or just a single copy? | 23:07 |
| cyfu | wait my mistake its fat32 | 23:08 |
| cache_surplus | is rsync best? its a cmd line prog right? | 23:08 |
| cache_surplus | yes, jrib i would like incremental | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: there is no best | 23:08 |
| cache_surplus | lol | 23:08 |
| jrib | cache_surplus: I'd recommend rsnapshot. Another good option is rdiff-backup. See ubottu for more choices | 23:08 |
| jrib | !backup > cache_surplus | 23:08 |
| ubottu | cache_surplus, please see my private message | 23:08 |
| ActionParsnip | cyfu: then set the uid and options at mount and it will be fine | 23:08 |
| cache_surplus | got it, jrib. anyone else? thanks | 23:08 |
| bc81 | cache_surplus: also grsync if you like a GUI | 23:09 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: you can use grsync to find the rsync command you can then cron ;) | 23:09 |
| cache_surplus | ActionParsnip: ok | 23:09 |
| entityreborn | bc81, anyway, I have no clue. | 23:10 |
| cache_surplus | so cron will run the rsync process, correct | 23:10 |
| cache_surplus | ill read those in a moment jrib | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | cache_surplus: it can run any command you want | 23:11 |
| cache_surplus | so has anyone used simplebackup... it seems like it works, just not sure how the back is stored, is it a snapshot or actual files,,, a list? dunno | 23:11 |
| ryuurei | Hi there. I have been working on installing openbox over Gnome and I just finished writing my menu.xml. I need to know how to replace the default right-click menu with the one I did up for openbox? | 23:11 |
| cache_surplus | ActionParsnip: i understand | 23:11 |
| bc81 | entityreborn: i'm tapped out too..when you removed the LCD, was it as simple as unplugging a connector? | 23:11 |
| entityreborn | bc81, two, the main data interface and the ballast connection for the backlight | 23:12 |
| bc81 | cache_surplus: i have used it before...but be careful backing up to a FAT(32) drive, if you have files over 4GB it will fail silently, and you will lose your data | 23:12 |

| gnewb | jrib: Is that a conky script, the nautalis gconf thing? | 23:26 |
| jrib | ryuurei: in gconf-editor, unchecking /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop should be sufficient | 23:26 |
| jrib | BiPolah: depends on the two things :) | 23:27 |
| pk___ | ActionParsnip: i updated my ubuntu, then it was showing "starting file manager" infinitely, then i opened a terminal did apt-get remove nautilus then i did apt-get install nautilus, it automatically logged out..now as soon as i login it shows a black screen and then login prompt | 23:27 |

| BiPolah | jrib: Namely installing one program and updating others simultaneously | 23:27 |

| iceroot | in 10.10 (gnome) the screen is getting grey, as it seems it is because the load is high. is this guess correct? or for what is the grey screen? | 23:29 |

| entityreborn | Erm, nope | 23:30 |
| bc81 | BiPolah: you can sudo apt-get install <package(s)> ; sudo apt-get update | 23:30 |
| jrib | BiPolah: then you can only do that by rewriting apt | 23:30 |

| ActionParsnip | Raiscan: then how do you know the image was good? | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Theluxer: is the system a branded pc or laptop? | 23:34 |
| Theluxer | desktop pc | 23:34 |
| Raiscan | ActionParsnip: I do not. All I know is it's downloaded from the official ubuntu servers. I'll check the MD5 now. | 23:34 |
| chris1 | hey, can someone tell me how can I compare 2 kernels ? a test tool would be nice | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Theluxer: does it have a make or model? | 23:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Raiscan: cool | 23:35 |
| Theluxer | yeah | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Theluxer: want to give me it or am I expected to guess? | 23:35 |
| entityreborn | Raiscan, did you torrent or download with your browser? | 23:35 |
| Theluxer | motherboard ASUS M4A78T-E | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Theluxer: so its a home build? | 23:35 |
| Theluxer | yeah | 23:35 |
| Raiscan | entityreborn: browser download | 23:35 |
| entityreborn | Ah | 23:35 |

| hack-1 | what does this mean GPG error: http://deb.playonlinux.com lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E0F72778C4676186 | 23:36 |
| pk___ | ActionParsnip: happens with only that user | 23:36 |
| Theluxer | so there is nothing i can do? | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | hack-1: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com E0F72778C4676186 | 23:36 |
| Theluxer | it must be a way | 23:36 |
| pk___ | ActionParsnip: but i need that user | 23:37 |
| chris1 | does anyone know a kernel compare tool? | 23:37 |
| Raiscan | I'm trying to find the MD5 sum I should be comparing to, could I request some assistance? :) 10.10 amd64 desktop | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | pk___: then at least you know its settings and not the app | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !hashes | 23:37 |
| ubottu | See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 23:37 |
| Raiscan | thanks | 23:37 |
| [TK]D-Fender | Hello all, HD/MB question I could use some info on. Got a MB with SATA in IDE mode and am looking to flip to AHCI. 1 boot drive, 1 multi-partitioned extra, and a fresh & empty Linux RAID pair. Total of 4 drives, all initially set up while on this MB's IDE mode. Will flipping to AHCI cause any issues with the grub & Ubuntu 10.10 x64 drive I boot off of or hinder standard access to my data... | 23:37 |
| [TK]D-Fender | ...on the 2nd drive? | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | pk___: then you could try renaming the settings folders for nautilus and / or gnome to default the settings | 23:38 |
| pk___ | cool | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Theluxer: there may be fixes and suggestions in the bug flow, try reading it all | 23:38 |
| Theluxer | how can i remove voip driver? | 23:38 |
| Theluxer | maybe thats it | 23:38 |
| jrib | hack-1: http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html gives you their instructions for grabbing their gpg key. However, I have no idea if playonlinux is a good repository or not; use at your own risk | 23:38 |
| entityreborn | :) | 23:39 |
| webPragmatist | anyone have a decent method on how to chroot a ssh user into their home dir? | 23:39 |
| Raiscan | entityreborn & ActionParsnip: the hash matches. | 23:40 |
| entityreborn | ActionParsnip, any ideas? | 23:40 |
| hack-1 | @jrib Thank you, what would you recomend? | 23:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Raiscan: ok then try removing the boot options: quiet splash from the boot so you can watch the boot, you may also try adding: nomodeset instead | 23:41 |
| terrapin | hi, im on maverick an i receive this error on boot. what can i do? " ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 15380 " | 23:42 |
| entityreborn | Also, it's probably worthwhile to admit hat I haven't upgraded my packages yet. | 23:42 |
| entityreborn | On a slow as hades internet connection. | 23:42 |
| === jay is now known as Guest49004 | ||
| Raiscan | ActionParsnip: that's quite hard, because of an issue with nouveau I can either choose to view the boot menu, or X. not both :) | 23:42 |
| bc81 | entityreborn: have you tried booting with the external both connected, and disconnected? what about testing on an older/different distro liveCCD? | 23:42 |
| entityreborn | bc81, I don't have another liveCD | 23:43 |
| Raiscan | I guess there's a file I can modify on the flash drive itself? | 23:43 |
| entityreborn | Oh, maybe I do. I'll check. Also, without the external connected, I'll be blind, but I'll try it | 23:43 |
| terrapin | ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 15380 ? | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Raiscan: then you will need the nomodeset bootoption or you can use: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 23:43 |
| chetnick | does ubuntu have "noatime" enabled for / in /etc/fstab by default? | 23:45 |
| Theluxer | i just cant | 23:46 |
| Theluxer | i readed that maybe the INDEPENDENT HP | 23:46 |
| terrapin | ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 15380 | 23:47 |
| terrapin | ? | 23:47 |
| Raiscan | ActionParsnip: I assume boot options are whitespace seperated? | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | chetnick: not by default | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Raiscan: you can use spaces | 23:48 |
| chetnick | ActionParsnip: thanks. | 23:48 |
| trench | i wonder who that made the lastest kernel for maverick | 23:48 |
| terrapin | linus? | 23:48 |
| Raiscan | ActionParsnip: okay. Gimme a few, I need to reimage my usb drive | 23:48 |
| Theluxer | ok i got the sound wokk but its is trashy | 23:48 |
| Starminn | terrapin: Linux != Ubuntu | 23:48 |
| Theluxer | like bad quality sound | 23:48 |
| trench | terrapin: don't think he made the ubuntu package :P | 23:48 |
| Theluxer | really bad | 23:49 |
| Raiscan | I'm a bit worried actually because Fedora 14 does a similar thing | 23:49 |
| trench | |Setting up linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic (2.6.35-27.48) ... | 23:49 |
| trench | |Running depmod. | 23:49 |

| trench | ActionParsnip: you upgraded to the latest kernel yet? | 23:50 |
| trench | or anyone else for that mater | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | trench: the one in the maverick repo, yes | 23:50 |
| cynamoon | hi everybody | 23:51 |
| terrapin | trench Linux approves all final Linux kernels | 23:51 |
| terrapin | Linus | 23:51 |
| terrapin | anyone help? | 23:51 |
| trench | linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic (2.6.35-27.48) this? | 23:51 |
| terrapin | ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 15380 | 23:52 |
| trench | terrapin: I have been using Linux since 93 so I kind of know :P | 23:52 |
| pk___ | ActionParsnip: ok everything is fine now but it shows one folder empty | 23:52 |
| terrapin | trench, want a trophy? | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip | trench: I'm on 35-25 here | 23:52 |
| pk___ | i never deleted its content , i am sure | 23:52 |
| terrapin | trench, want a trophy? | 23:52 |
| terrapin | lol | 23:52 |
| bc81 | !polite | 23:53 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 23:53 |
| bc81 | or something like that | 23:53 |
| trench | terrapin: have a job, that demand me of linux knowledge so thinks that should be okey ;) | 23:53 |
| terrapin | one more time i ask, please anyome. ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 15380 | 23:53 |
| trench | terrapin: tried google with the error? | 23:53 |
| terrapin | yea | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | terrapin: have you fsck'd your partition? | 23:53 |
| terrapin | never herd of that ActionParsnip | 23:54 |
| Starminn | trench: Yeah, I've been Googling it here too and it's got some pretty useless results. | 23:54 |
| terrapin | how do i run it ActionParsnip | 23:54 |
| ActionParsnip | terrapin: its like chkdsk in windows, boot to a live cd and test | 23:54 |
| bc81 | terrapin: sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo reboot | 23:54 |
| terrapin | ty guys | 23:55 |
| IRChatter | I set up a cron tab in root (sudo crontab -e) as the following 5 * * * root rm -rf /home/myUsername/.local/share/Trash. Any help? | 23:55 |
| Raiscan | ActionParsnip: I can't see quiet but I replaced splash with nomodeset | 23:56 |
| geirha | IRChatter: You are missing a field | 23:56 |
| IRChatter | geirha: What field? 0.o | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | IRChatter: 2 questions, why is the word root there? and why does it need force? | 23:56 |
| Raiscan | the last message is [ 34.068684] end_request: I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 | 23:56 |
| ActionParsnip | IRChatter: i'd also change it to /home/myUsername/.local/share/Trash/* | 23:57 |
| DaZ | why bother setting up a cron, if you can just shift+delete it, so it doesn't go to the trash :f | 23:57 |
| IRChatter | Oh, sudo used to be there. I'm not sure why I forced it, wow. | 23:57 |
| Raiscan | and Buffer I/O error on on device fd0, logical block 0 | 23:57 |
| Raiscan | this repeats. | 23:57 |
| IRChatter | DaZ: I'm lazy | 23:57 |
| bc81 | IRChatter: not sure if needed, but i would go with ...Trash/* | 23:57 |
| geirha | IRChatter: Ah, yes, you are mixing crontab -e with /etc/crontab's syntax | 23:57 |
| bc81 | oops, what he said 10 minutes before me :S | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Raiscan: ok i've had a question on thin in launchpad (I was proud of this one).you need the bootoption: floppy.blacklist=1 | 23:57 |
| geirha | IRChatter: But there are 5 time fields in both. /etc/crontab has another (sixth) field, a username. | 23:58 |
| IRChatter | geirha: But sudo didn't work | 23:58 |
| Raiscan | okay so I need to blacklist nouveau and floppy :) | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Raiscan: once you get installed, add it in /etc/default/grub so it gets added to kernels in the future and run: sudo update-grub so it gets added to the current kernels | 23:58 |
| xtrac | I have two harddrives | 23:58 |
| xtrac | and one has ubuntu on it | 23:58 |
| xtrac | I want to install windows xp on the second | 23:59 |
| xtrac | but I cant do it using the conventional way of using the xp cd | 23:59 |
| xtrac | I need another way to do it | 23:59 |
| bc81 | !enter | xtrac | 23:59 |
| ubottu | xtrac: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:59 |
| DaZ | why you can't? :x | 23:59 |
| xtrac | it just gives me this bogus error | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | xtrac: run your windows CD installer and tell it to install to the other drive... | 23:59 |
| xtrac | I have tried everything to fix it | 23:59 |
| xtrac | I cant run the cd installer | 23:59 |
