| auro1 | Vitasoy: im not sure it can - trying it | 00:00 |
| Starminn | Vitasoy auro1: You can burn CDs and you can (if needed) download files, so yes, I don't see why it couldn't. | 00:01 |
| auro1 | Starminn: i dont have any cds :D | 00:01 |
| Vitasoy | Starminn: I didn't know you could make windows images off UNetBootin | 00:01 |
| e75 | yeah i installed windows before from flash drive | 00:02 |
| Starminn | auro1: Torrent an .iso for your Windows version and use your valid MS key to activate (if you don't have a valid key I don't want to hear it) | 00:02 |
| javahorn | Hi | 00:02 |
| Starminn | auro1 Vitasoy: Then after getting the .iso just throw it on a disc and voila, right? | 00:02 |
| javahorn | My samsung laptop crashed with windows XP . | 00:02 |
| Vitasoy | Starminn: correct=p but auro1 doesn't have blank cds | 00:03 |
| Phase | Might be a bit OT, but anyone familiar with cron.. is */20 * * * * correct for every 20 minutes? | 00:03 |
| limecat | so a quick followup...if i want to install ubuntu server as a mdraid, do i use guided lvm? | 00:03 |
| javahorn | Please tell me how to go about ubuntu installation and will it give rich graphical interaction as in windows? | 00:03 |
| Vitasoy | Starminn: So I don't think he can use unetbootin to make an USB bootable for a Windows7 image - I think it won't work | 00:03 |
| Phase | javahorn: Yes to the second question | 00:03 |
| Starminn | Vitasoy auro1: Well that isn't cool. Alright, auro1, ask in the ##windows channel how to make Windows on a flash drive (*if* you can then ask in here for mroe details if needed) (assuming you have another flash drive) | 00:03 |
| Starminn | Vitasoy Neither do I. | 00:04 |
| auro1 | i have 2 flash drives :> | 00:04 |
| Starminn | javahown: Ubuntu will look sexier than Windows XP, trust me, Idual-boot it. :) As for installation, what do you need? | 00:04 |
| drexl | javahorn: lubuntu rocks all the bugs are worked out of lxde it's sweet but simple. | 00:04 |
| Phase | I prefer Ubuntu (well Mint), but Gnome > * :D | 00:05 |
| Starminn | auro1: Super. I don't think Windows is able to boot from a flash drive but ask in ##windows to be sure) | 00:05 |
| auro1 | Starminn: already did it once before | 00:05 |
| auro1 | Starminn: but i dont remember using ubootin | 00:05 |
| Starminn | Phase drexl: Let's not confuse the young one. :) | 00:05 |
| nertilov | anyone here know how to install build-essential without internet? | 00:05 |
| e75 | Starminn, i think i actually came across a article on windows live | 00:05 |
| Phase | Starminn: Point made :P | 00:05 |
| drexl | auro1: did you write a script to set all the registry back to defaults? | 00:05 |
| e75 | someone made a windows live flash drive before | 00:05 |
| Starminn | e75: Talk to auro1 about it lol. He's the one who needs it. | 00:06 |
| SuperPaco69 | does any one knows a good channel for web development apps??? | 00:06 |
| auro1 | drexl: nope? | 00:06 |
| e75 | Starminn, oh.. | 00:06 |
| javahorn | Phase: drexl , how to install ubuntu? | 00:06 |
| tiox | nertilov: While you're online, grab the build-essential package while you can? :/ | 00:06 |
| drexl | auro1: I've attempted this no success when booting another computer | 00:06 |
| e75 | auro1, yeah, i think i came across an article on windows live from a usb before. ill search a bit | 00:06 |
| Starminn | javahorn: I'll help if they're busy. | 00:06 |
| auro1 | drexl: crap. | 00:06 |
| auro1 | e75: THANKS! | 00:07 |

| willwork4foo | this is utterly mental... my wifi interface works on a separate address to my eth0, however if I unplug eth0 then the wifi stops. Plug it back in, it works again. | 00:08 |
| Starminn | javahorn: Alright, so where in the installation are you at? | 00:08 |
| javahorn | first i am trying to salvage important data from my crashed laptop | 00:08 |

| javahorn | Starminn: which way to start? | 00:10 |
| Starminn | AdamMiner: Does this help any? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1033789.html | 00:10 |
| e75 | auro1, http://www.ngine.de/article/id/8 | 00:10 |
| willwork4foo | Vitasoy, I know the box has wifi onboard, but for some reason it's linked itself to the eth0 | 00:10 |
| Starminn | javahorn: Are you on a netbook? | 00:10 |
| drexl | auro1: don't forget to unmount before using syslinux on a drive | 00:10 |
| Vitasoy | willwork4foo: I see, that seems to be the problem right there=o | 00:10 |
| javahorn | Starminn: no, samsung | 00:10 |
| Vitasoy | willwork4foo: has the board always done this? or is this a new issue | 00:11 |
| willwork4foo | Vitasoy, this is a new issue - new with Ubuntu 10.10 - just installed this evening. | 00:11 |
| auro1 | drexl: i made unetbootin do it | 00:11 |
| auro1 | e75: thanks | 00:11 |
| Starminn | javahorn: Make doesn't matter. ;) But I got what I needed anyway. Go here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download and choose 32-bit or 64-bit, what operating system you're making it with, and what you'll be burning it to (I think CD is the easiest) | 00:12 |
| Vitasoy | willwork4foo: and all the updates have been installed? are you using a 64bit system now and was using a 32bit system before | 00:12 |
| Starminn | javahorn: IF you're unsure on 32-bit or 64-bit, just go with 32. | 00:12 |
| willwork4foo | Vitasoy, this is a 32 bit system on a 32 bit Atom processor | 00:12 |
| javahorn | Starminn: can it take it to USB ? and install? | 00:12 |
| SuperPaco69 | does any one knows a good channel for web development apps??? | 00:12 |
| drexl | auro1: looks cool I'm going to try it out. | 00:13 |
| Starminn | javahorn: Then hit the big, orange "Start Download" and hit "Show me how." (Yes you can, just select the proper choices and hit "Show me how" it's really self-explanatory how to use that page. | 00:13 |
| e75 | auro1, np | 00:13 |

| tim167 | hello, I have a set of files and I want to rename them so that they are sorted by their creation time reflected in the filenames (something like <date><time>.jpg) how can I do that ? thanks | 00:13 |
| javahorn | Starminn: thanks. | 00:14 |
| Starminn | SuperPaco69: Could you specify more please? | 00:14 |
| willwork4foo | OK, this is insane. I just tested by configuring a USB wlan device that I know works fine, and ran a ping on that at the same time as running a ping on the eth0. When I unplug eth0, they BOTH freeze. | 00:14 |
| nsd | quick question: Does a user have to be logged in for their crontab to be processed? e.g., if I create a crontab entry in another user's crontab, will it run even if they're not logged in at the specified time(s)? | 00:14 |
| willwork4foo | when I plug eth0 back in, they both resume. | 00:14 |
| willwork4foo | WTF? | 00:14 |
| Starminn | javahorn: If you have any more questions, just ask. | 00:14 |
| SuperPaco69 | Starminn, I am developing a web page application with php and mysql where can I find a channerl for support on that? | 00:14 |
| javahorn | Starminn: what are chances of recovering data from windows directory through boot up of ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| willwork4foo | Now trying a boot with no eth0 plugged in, but usb wlan connected | 00:15 |
| Starminn | SuperPaco69: #php and #mysql | 00:15 |
| nertil | anyone know how to install build-essential without internet | 00:15 |
| Starminn | SuperPaco69: For future reference, try a /join #<language> to check first. ;) | 00:15 |
| Starminn | javahorn: You mean recovering data on Windows while you're using Ubuntu? | 00:16 |
| willwork4foo | this is utterly mental. if eth0 is unplugged, NO networking functions at all. No wireless. | 00:16 |
| willwork4foo | anyone know why this might happen? | 00:16 |
| wolfric | what is anacron responsible for on a default install? Does it take on the same roles as cron? Do i need it to be running? I don't like it filling up my auth.log file with the cron job testing if it's there and trying to start it up every half hour or so | 00:16 |
| wolfric | or rather does it try execute the same jobs that are seen in cron config files | 00:16 |
| Starminn | !info anacron | wolfric | 00:17 |
| ubottu | wolfric: anacron (source: anacron): cron-like program that doesn't go by time. In component main, is optional. Version 2.3-14ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 30 kB, installed size 220 kB | 00:17 |
| javahorn | Starminn: No, recovering data on windows on the laptop which had only windows , it is rebooting again and again so trying to enter through back door through ubuntu boot up and recovering data. | 00:17 |
| nertil | !build-essential | 00:17 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 00:17 |
| nertil | !packages | 00:17 |
| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 00:17 |
| wolfric | Starminn: what would normally use anacron as apposed to cron? Or does it try to run the same jobs? | 00:17 |
| Starminn | !botabuse | nertil | 00:17 |
| ubottu | nertil: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 00:17 |
| Starminn | wolfric: Have you read the man pages on them? | 00:18 |
| Starminn | javahorn: Yep, totally possible and you don't even have to install Linux for that. All can be done with LiveCD. | 00:18 |
| Starminn | javahorn: People use Ubuntu LiveCD to fix Windows problems quite often. | 00:19 |
| javahorn | Starminn: i am doing UNetbootin | 00:19 |
| javahorn | Starminn: can windows be cured or best data can be salvaged? | 00:19 |
| === homer is now known as Guest87704 | ||
| Starminn | !livecd | javahorn (it doesn't necessarily have to be a "CD") | 00:20 |
| ubottu | javahorn (it doesn't necessarily have to be a "CD"): 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. | 00:20 |
| AdamMiner | I reinstalled sound setting, but it still pops up a box that says "Conecting to sound system" :( | 00:20 |
| Starminn | javahorn: Ubuntu, everything that exists will be shown to you. If it's there, you'll see it. | 00:20 |
| Starminn | In Ubuntu* | 00:20 |
| ginnn | hi | 00:20 |
| Starminn | AdamMiner: Have you tried a reboot? (Just throwing it out there) | 00:20 |
| ginnn | should I get Ubuntu 10.04.2 instead of 10.10 if stability is my concern? | 00:21 |
| drexl | ginnn: howdy do | 00:21 |
| System_Default_0 | ginnn: Yes. | 00:21 |
| eko | tes | 00:21 |
| === eko is now known as Guest31656 | ||
| System_Default_0 | ginnn: But I'll recommend you Ubuntu 9.10. Is the best. | 00:21 |
| ginnn | System_Default_0, why? | 00:22 |
| javahorn | Starminn: ubottu let me first salvage data, thanks | 00:22 |
| ginnn | System_Default_0, what is wrong with 10.04? | 00:22 |
| bazhang | ginnn, 10.10 is fine | 00:22 |
| drexl | ginnn: i'v got 10.10 and vlc so I can watch my movies I'm happy with it | 00:22 |
| bazhang | System_Default_0, 9.10 is end of life dont recommend it here | 00:22 |
| ginnn | bazhang, 10.10 is far from fine | 00:22 |
| ginnn | bazhang, I don't consider 10.10 as a stable release. | 00:23 |
| System_Default_0 | ginnn: Nothing but 9.10 is better than 10.04 because 9.10 has all configurations for screen management, drivers and other stuff. And is the most stable version of Ubuntu. | 00:23 |
| AdamMiner | Starminn, yes I have :/ | 00:23 |
| ginnn | some times I could only right click on 10.10. left mouse button and keyboard got stuck needed to reboot and lost my work | 00:23 |
| bazhang | ginnn, then troubleshoot the issues | 00:23 |
| System_Default_0 | bazhang: 10.10 is acrap. | 00:23 |
| AdamMiner | Sound plays fine, I just can not adjust volume or change outputs | 00:23 |
| willwork4foo | OK, I am struggling with wpa_supplicant | 00:24 |
| willwork4foo | anyone here know that well? | 00:24 |
| ginnn | bazhang, i did google the porblem. it is an unsolved 5 years old mysterious bug | 00:24 |
| bazhang | System_Default_0, no its not. dont recommend end of life releases here | 00:24 |
| ginnn | bazhang, no one could find a way to reproduce the bug.. it is very random | 00:24 |
| System_Default_0 | bazhang: And you know it perfectly. Canonical is developing 11.04 and they had not fixed 10.10 yet. | 00:24 |
| ginnn | but 10.10 is really crap. worst release I ever used! | 00:25 |
| System_Default_0 | bazhang: I prefer to recommend good stuff. | 00:25 |
| ginnn | I even considered fedora when I was hit with that bug | 00:25 |
| LjL | System_Default_0: stuff that doesn't even security updates anymore doesn't classify. | 00:25 |
| System_Default_0 | ginnn: You're right, I'm with you. | 00:25 |
| drexl | ginnn: that bug is minor just remove the silent splash screen | 00:25 |
| AdamMiner | well, I must go :/ thanks | 00:26 |
| ginnn | drexl, what are you talking about. | 00:26 |
| coz_ | you know guys,,, if you look at it like LTS which is Lucid 10.04 is the one to use for stability... the versions inbetween LTS are more like experimental releases working up to next LTS,,, | 00:26 |
| ginnn | drexl, what silent splash screen? | 00:26 |
| Starminn | AdamMiner: One last command I just found | 00:26 |
| ginnn | I lost my keyboard and mouse when I was using firefox | 00:26 |
| drexl | in the grub.cfg file the silent splash remove it | 00:26 |
| dirtycookie | hi people, i wanted to use an old tape drive which is working. and went to ubuntusuers of how to load a tape or at least to run such a thing. | 00:26 |
| System_Default_0 | Ljl: Do you think 10.10 is safe? You can't execute an application without any issue, or connect to internet smoothly. | 00:26 |
| dirtycookie | dmesg |grep scsi gave me: http://pastebin.com/QJtHdpTX | 00:26 |
| Starminn | AdamMiner: Doubt it'll work but type in "gnome-colume-control-applet" and see if what it adds helps | 00:26 |
| ginnn | drexl, what does that have to do with gnome? | 00:26 |
| Starminn | gnome-volume-control-applet* | 00:26 |
| LjL | System_Default_0: nothing is "safe" if it doesn't receive regular security updates, because new exploits are being found as we speak. | 00:27 |
| ginnn | drexl, are you sure you know what bug I am talking about? | 00:27 |
| drexl | ginnn: the price of meat has gone up. | 00:27 |
| LjL | System_Default_0: if it does receive updates, then what can be done is being done, and that's what matters | 00:27 |
| drexl | ginnn: i HAVE NO IDEA i'M DRUNL | 00:27 |
| drexl | DRUNLK | 00:27 |
| System_Default_0 | Ljl: But some things are safer than others. | 00:27 |
| coz_ | dirtycookie, are you having issues with your scsi drives? | 00:27 |
| xguru | is it possible to netinstall to a hard drive, but accidently installing grub to the flash drive and not the hard drive. and then need to use a memory stick to boot to the installed OS on the hard drive? | 00:28 |
| dirtycookie | coz_: kinda | 00:28 |
| LjL | System_Default_0: right, so 10.10 is safer than 9.10 by virtue of receiving security updates | 00:28 |
| dirtycookie | coz_: i need assistance | 00:28 |
| LjL | System_Default_0: (technically 9.10 still receives them, until april, but) | 00:28 |
| coz_ | dirtycookie, I have scsi here myself... I do know that with the last 4 or 5 releases scsi has had some issues on ubuntu | 00:28 |
| ginnn | sometimes I think Ubuntu can't be considered as a stable linux distro any more | 00:28 |

| System_Default_0 | Ljl: I won't say that. If I'll you. | 00:29 |
| LjL | ginnn: maybe, but i've heard people saying that of every release, since 2006. so maybe it's true but the fact that people here say it doesn't do enough to convince me of it ;) | 00:29 |
| coz_ | dirtycookie, not major issues but they are not picked up correctly on ubuntu anylonger in terms of booting... a rootdelay=40 is sometimes needed in order to stop the drop to busybox initramfs | 00:29 |
| ginnn | LjL I have used almost all releases of Ubuntu. that is how I feel, sadly | 00:29 |
| ginnn | Ubuntu needs more testing | 00:30 |
| coz_ | dirtycookie, so what is going on there | 00:30 |
| Starminn | Ouch, AdamMiner well at least you have some more information when you come back tomorrow. Just stick it in a .txt file the command you ran and the return. Sound good? Maybe somebody can assist tomorrow. | 00:30 |
| AdamMiner | alright, thanks | 00:30 |

| makaveli0129 | /dev/sdc1 /media/AllFiles ntfs defaults 0 0 | 00:39 |
| makaveli0129 | doofy, it depends on what the name of the device is | 00:40 |
| doofy | makaveli0129, is /dev/dm-3 an okay device name? | 00:40 |

| [thor] | doofy: the device is whatever shows up in /dev/ | 00:40 |
| doofy | [thor], thats just what shows up in fdisk -l | 00:40 |
| makaveli0129 | doofy, no it should say if you click on system> preferences>disk utility | 00:40 |
| doofy | yea its showing up as dm-3 | 00:40 |
| doofy | ill try it out | 00:40 |
| makaveli0129 | doofy, then yest use that | 00:40 |
| makaveli0129 | and then the file to which you want to mount it to next | 00:40 |
| makaveli0129 | usually /media/whatever you want | 00:40 |

| Jordan_U | fanthomas: No, and you can make a bootable live SD card to install Ubuntu from following the USB instructions on the Ubuntu download page. | 00:54 |
| bazhang | fanthomas, ah okay, well if you are set on wubi I'm not sure, if you did decide on a true dual boot then booting from usb stick (using unetbootin or the like) would be an option | 00:55 |
| Starminn | javahorn: Alright, so you're already at the desktop, yes? I gotcha now. ;) Okay, so you can ignore the Install icon if you're not going to install.

| Starminn | javahorn: Yes, that is correct. If you wish to install Ubuntu then you click on the Install icon and follow the setup.

| SuperPaco69 | I am having problems with mysql server I uninstall it and install it again but I still have conflict with some files can I do apt-get remove mysql-* to remove all what is having conflict?? | 01:42 |
| === GaMeLOvEr is now known as LA9KSA | ||
| Cataclysm | any alternatives to empathy someone would recommend that integrates everything like it does? | 01:42 |
| Blue1 | Cataclysm: like for IM's and things? | 01:43 |
| Starminn | Cataclysm: I use (and love) Pidgin. | 01:43 |
| xangua | Cataclysm: pidgin, kopete | 01:43 |
| mklappstuhl | hey | 01:43 |
| Blue1 | yeah pidgin | 01:43 |
| xangua | mmm kopete doesn't do irc i believe | 01:43 |
| Cataclysm | to all: would those support hte notifications like empathy? i really love empathy | 01:43 |
| Blue1 | xangua: i don't remember that is does either. | 01:43 |
| bazhang | pidgin does | 01:43 |
| mklappstuhl | how does ubuntu handle mounts of generic flash drives? I want to allow regular users to mount any flash drive | 01:44 |
| frank_ | dddd | 01:44 |
| Starminn | Yeah, everytime someone says your name in IRC on Pidgin you get an indicator and the envelope turns green. Same for IMs. | 01:44 |
| SuperPaco69 | I am having problems with mysql server I uninstall it and install it again but I still have conflict with some files can I do apt-get remove mysql-* to remove all what is having conflict?? | 01:44 |
| Cataclysm | wow awesome getting pidgin then | 01:44 |
| Starminn | mklappstuhl: I've never had any problems and I use 5 different types or so. (Of flash drives, that is) | 01:44 |
| Cataclysm | had it on windows but stopped using windows when i learned how easy it is to develop on ubuntu | 01:44 |
| Starminn | Cataclysm: :) Try 'em all out though and see what you like. My preference is Pidgin, but there are many others out there. To each their own. | 01:45 |
| Cataclysm | does digsby work well? anyone know? | 01:45 |
| Code_Bleu | has anyone used imapsync in ubuntu 10.04? Im having trouble getting it to work, and was hoping someone in this channel has used it before. | 01:46 |
| Starminn | Cataclysm: Digsby has no Linux support | 01:46 |
| Cataclysm | wow lame | 01:46 |
| Starminn | Cataclysm: I used Digsby on WIndows and actually installed Pidgin on it two days ago so I had some consistency. If you go to the Digsby site they say Mac/inux support is coming soon but I've yet to see anything come of it. | 01:46 |
| zinadork | Anyone on whether rebooting with a truecrypt volume mounted will damage the volume? | 01:47 |
| farr311 | hi | 01:47 |
| Starminn | Cataclysm: It *does* run in WINE though, might I add. I use it to send SMS messages since Pidgin is slow at it but Pidgin is much better than Digsby+WINE for daily use | 01:47 |
| Cataclysm | are there any good ubuntu time-wasting games i should install for when im bored haha | 01:48 |
| Cataclysm | the included tetris clone doesnt do it for me | 01:48 |
| Starminn | Cataclysm: Go to Ubuntu Software Center and go to Games. | 01:48 |
| epistax | Why does ubuntu (now) hate my sata drives? | 01:48 |
| Cataclysm | Oh i've looked at them. just dont know where to start | 01:48 |
| kyan | Hello! How can I make the gnome-panel transparent? It's nearly transparent, but not quite. None of the many threads I've found online have helped. | 01:49 |
| [deXter] | Well you need to edit your theme file | 01:49 |
| kyan | I'll post a screenshot once it uploads. | 01:49 |
| kyan | :-P | 01:49 |
| kyan | I'm using a custom theme | 01:50 |
| Starminn | Cataclysm: Being an Atari fan I have Frogger and Circus Linux!, and being a Jezzball fan from Windows I have KBounce. There's also SuperTux2 which is Super Mario-esque and | 01:50 |
| coz_ | kyan, you can create a transparent image in gimp and use that as the background image | 01:50 |
| Starminn | Penguin Command which is like "Missile Command" but now we're getting off-topic. | 01:50 |
| farr311 | In ubuntu, did we have function like parallel desktop(virtual machine)? | 01:50 |
| Starminn | farr311: Can you run Virtual Machines in Ubuntu, you mean? | 01:50 |
| zinadork | Get Virtualbox | 01:50 |
| [deXter] | farr311: Yeah, you can, look up VirtualBox | 01:50 |
| coz_ | kyan, you want this completely transparent? | 01:51 |
| kyan | Um, well, sort of. http://bayimg.com/HAEpaaAda | 01:51 |
| Cataclysm | Starminn so should i remove empathy after i installed pidgin | 01:51 |
| epistax | On the "Allocate drive space" screen I have an option to put the boot loader on sda, but no option to put my partitions on /dev/sda | 01:51 |
| Cataclysm | and are there any settings to make it take its place in the message bar | 01:51 |
| farr311 | yeah... already install but i like some function in parrell desktop | 01:51 |
| kyan | Same problem with the transparent background from gimp. I've already tried that | 01:51 |
| coz_ | kyan, well I would need to know how transparent you want this or which almost transparent colour you want | 01:51 |
| Starminn | Cataclysm: If you want. Empathy is there by default though (as "Chat") on bootup, but Pidgin gets added whenever you start it. | 01:52 |
| kyan | If you look at the screenshot, the bottom panel is the one I've tried to make transparent. | 01:52 |
| HandyGandy | Since you are talking about VB, what are the virtualization options on linux and how hard is it to migrate from one to another. | 01:52 |
| Starminn | Cataclysm: You don't have to remove Empathy and Pidgin will integrate by default after you start it the first time per boot, yes. | 01:52 |
| kyan | It's nearly transparent, but there is a horizontal line where the panel goes to the wallpaper. | 01:52 |

| DingGGu | È£Ãâ ÇÏ·Á¸é '!¾ÆÀÌÀ¯'¸¦ ÀÔ·Â ÇØÁÖ¼¼¿ä. | 01:59 |
| Starminn | puffandstuff: I think the default is Ambience. | 01:59 |
| epistax | Starminn: No, not that simple. parted and fdisk say there are no partitions, but the ubuntu installer can't even see the harddisk | 01:59 |
| barckl3y | hello someone knows a channel of java | 02:00 |
| Starminn | epistax: Oh, yikes, I'm not sure then. | 02:00 |
| coz_ | puffandstuff, go to system/preferences/appearance... click the Customize button and see which is chosen it should indeed be ambiance | 02:00 |
| Starminn | barckl3y: Does #java not exist? | 02:00 |
| barckl3y | of someone know programming in java | 02:00 |
| epistax | Starminn: fidisk and parted will happily add and remove partitions, but whatever is broken doesn't get fixed by that | 02:00 |
| Starminn | barckl3y: Go to #java | 02:00 |
| Starminn | epistax: Could the HDD itsel just be dead then? *shrug* | 02:00 |

| === DingGGu is now known as LyukO | ||
| deena | is that ubuntu 10.10 released ? | 02:01 |
| puffandstuff | coz_, i'd like to use the same theme on an older machine i've, i d like to know where to find the theme source | 02:01 |
| coz_ | LyukO, ah ok not my area :) | 02:01 |
| Starminn | deena: Yeah, we're almost out with another one too. :) | 02:01 |
| itaylor57 | barckl3y: its ##java | 02:01 |
| epistax | Starminn: Nah I can get into windows, make partitions and use them. It's also two different HDs, both on SATA. The kicker is one of these HDs used to have an ubuntu installation on it | 02:01 |
| coz_ | puffandstuff, ah mmm and which version of ubuntu is on that old machine? | 02:01 |
| puffandstuff | coz_, 8.04 | 02:02 |
| LyukO | lol.. | 02:02 |
| coz_ | puffandstuff, mm that may not work but let me ch eck | 02:02 |
| Starminn | deena: Look at the version number "10.10" -- Ubuntu uses dates as versions, so it was released in 2010, in October (10th month) | 02:02 |
| deena | ohoo sorry what is the next release 11 right? | 02:02 |
| coz_ | deegee_, 11.04 | 02:02 |
| Starminn | deena: 11.04 so April. | 02:03 |
| Starminn | deena: It's in Alpha 2 I believe now so you can test it if you wish. Th channel for it is #ubuntu+1 since it's not an official release yet. | 02:03 |
| puffandstuff | coz_, if i have to rewrite some scripts it will be ok, i'd like to use the same theme on 4 machines apready using 8.04, and on my other laptop using fc14 | 02:03 |
| deena | ok thanks :-) | 02:04 |
| Starminn | deena: Sure thing. | 02:04 |
| coz_ | puffandstuff, you can get the source package from here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/light-themes/0.1.8.2 | 02:04 |

| Cannibal | I connected my tv, and it's displaying at 70 hz, 1360x768. I have no idea how to change it. | 02:20 |
| micromatikal | Cannibal: the tv is flickering or the monitor | 02:20 |
| gaelfx | Cannibal: are you using nvidia drivers? | 02:20 |
| Pnux | gaelfx: the network manager is "replacing" 192.168.1.100 for localhost. i need it to be 192.168.1.100 | 02:20 |
| gaelfx | Pnux: that's not network manager, that's your apache setup I think | 02:21 |
| gaelfx | !lamp | Pnux | 02:21 |
| ubottu | Pnux: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 02:21 |

| micromatikal | Pnux: it probably is going to the router and back, if you check ifconfig what do you get? | 02:22 |
| Pnux | micromatikal: it isnt, my router isnt set to forward port 18081 back to me | 02:23 |
| bastidraZor | Pnux: then you need to port forward the router and when you access from an outside box you will have to append yoursite.com:18081 | 02:23 |
| gaelfx | Pnux: I understand that, but there are also settings in apache for how to name your website, it's set to localhost by default, you need to change it to your machines ip as it appears from outside | 02:23 |
| micromatikal | Pnux: oook ya go into the router then | 02:23 |
| Cannibal | yes. XP. I reformated though. | 02:23 |
| Pnux | gaelfx: didnt configure apache to respond to localhost | 02:24 |
| thethinker | why would my sound mute when insterting headphones (both speakers and headphones | 02:24 |
| micromatikal | Cannibal: it sounds like that laptop may not play well with ubuntu | 02:24 |
| Pnux | that virtual host has no servername directive | 02:24 |

| micromatikal | Pnux: so log into another PC or what? | 02:31 |
| feyd | anyone now how to make compiz switch workspaces when a window receives focus? | 02:31 |
| micromatikal | Pnux: why would you need to "access" your IP to do that? You want to make sure your IP is 192.168.1.1 or 0.1 or whatever? | 02:31 |
| syrinx | /away | 02:32 |
| Cannibal | i get 8 options, but they're "web, music, photos & video..." Or is that not the start-menu-like thing | 02:32 |
| Pnux | micromatikal: no, i know what my internal ip is, and its not a one-time-thing, i need to do this pretty often | 02:32 |
| micromatikal | Cannibal: no, I don't know what that is, sounds like a widget>? | 02:32 |
| micromatikal | Pnux: ok so do what exactly? How are you going to "see how something looks from another pc"? | 02:33 |
| Cannibal | the 3 pointed circle top left | 02:33 |
| micromatikal | Cannibal: It should be in the bottom left usually | 02:33 |
| Pnux | micromatikal: using a browser | 02:33 |
| the_seraphim | vague much? | 02:33 |
| syrinx | haha | 02:33 |
| syrinx | like logmein or somethin | 02:33 |
| feyd | anyone now how to make compiz switch workspaces when a window receives focus? | 02:33 |
| feyd | know* | 02:34 |
| micromatikal | ok well if you put in localhost in your browser, it will go to the right IP, if you put in the IP it will go to the right IP, if you use another machine on the network and put in the IP of your machine it will access it if apache is running and looking for port 80 | 02:34 |
| [segfault] | the_seraphim, so your vnc client is crashing? | 02:34 |
| the_seraphim | its not crashing, it just doesnt recieve any bytes from the server | 02:34 |
| Pnux | micromatikal: if i put my IP, it doesnt go to the right IP.. it just stays here | 02:34 |
| Cannibal | I've got a dock on the left, and a bar across the top. nothing startmenulike though. | 02:34 |
| micromatikal | Cannibal: did you install of a CD or what | 02:35 |
| Cannibal | yes | 02:35 |
| Cannibal | 10.10 | 02:35 |
| Cannibal | netbook version | 02:35 |
| micromatikal | Cannibal: Is it a netbook, I didnt look up that laptop | 02:35 |
| [segfault] | the_seraphim, make sure the client is using the same encoding, for starters.. also make sure no ports are blocked on the client, though i don't see that being an issue if you can authenticate. | 02:35 |
| aliendude5300 | Hi, I have a question about moving an existing Ubuntu install to a new system -- I just built a new computer with completely different parts than my previous one. In my new computer, I have an AMD Phenom II X6 CPU, an EVGA GTX 580 "Superclocked" GPU, and 16GB of Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 RAM. In my old system, I had an Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 CPU, and ATI Radeon X1950 GPU, and 2GB of DDR2 PC2-8500 Crucial Ballistix T | 02:35 |
| aliendude5300 | racer RAM. My new system is liquid cooled, and the CPU averages 18 degrees Celsius, with very minimal CPU usage. I simply installed my old HDD in my new system, without reinstalling Ubuntu. I'm running 10.10 with all the latest updates, and the proprietary Nvidia driver. Despite all this, my old system 'felt' significantly faster than my new one, except for OpenGL performance. Is there any way to reconfigure Ubuntu to | 02:35 |
| aliendude5300 | work better with my new hardware? I'm not sure what could be wrong. It's worth nothing that every time Ubuntu boots up, it says "Too many connections." on the screen, and kernel modesetting does not work. | 02:35 |

| gaelfx | ninjah: what do you mean by "wouldn't work"? | 02:42 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: is it in your fstab? | 02:42 |
| hydrozii | whats the terminal command for unziping a file? | 02:42 |
| feyd | syrinx, honestly I dont know, eee pc 1005pr | 02:42 |
| ninjah | gaelfx: The php file gets downloaded instead of running like it should | 02:42 |
| micromatikal | hydrozii: just a .zip? | 02:42 |
| hydrozii | sudo unzip file.zip | 02:42 |
| syrinx | do an lspci | 02:43 |
| hydrozii | isn't working | 02:43 |

| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Nope | 02:43 |
| the_seraphim | hydrozii: why sudo for unzil | 02:43 |
| syrinx | just wondering if its a Mobile 4, feyd | 02:43 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: that is why, do you know how to add it? | 02:43 |
| hydrozii | or no sudo | 02:43 |
| wedwo- | soraya, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/lucid/release/ - 10.04 because its LTS | 02:44 |
| hydrozii | either way i get an error saying cannot find or open file, file.zip, or file.ZIP | 02:44 |
| feyd | syrinx, no, pretty sure it isnt | 02:44 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: my fstab for my mdraid is something like UUID=f63672ec-02ba-4fef-9c40-de9f985e0d94 /storage ext4 defaults | 02:44 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: you can get the uuid by doing ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | 02:45 |
| the_seraphim | hydrozii: try gunzip | 02:45 |
| soraya | wedwo-, thanks a lot | 02:46 |
| the_seraphim | hydrozii: are you using a full path? if not are you in the right directory? | 02:46 |

| hydrozii | the_seraphim : unknown suffix -- ignored | 02:46 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micYup, see it in there | 02:46 |
| the_seraphim | hydrozii: try gzip | 02:47 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: ^ | 02:47 |
| linoge | alisalaah: in many places, but the executable is usually under /usr/bin | 02:47 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: so just add it to your /etc/fstab like I showed there, UUID=the uuid then where it's mounted then the filesystem type, and probably defaults | 02:47 |
| hermanlf | Should I enable canonical repositories? What does it have? | 02:47 |
| gaelfx | ninjah: there are a few different ideas there that may or may not work fo ryou | 02:48 |
| feyd | micromatikal, i reset to defaults and it started working, i must have done something wrong | 02:48 |
| linoge | hermanlf: canonical packages | 02:48 |
| feyd | syrinx, , i reset to defaults and it started working, i must have done something wrong | 02:48 |
| micromatikal | feyd: lol nice | 02:48 |
| syrinx | very nice indeed | 02:48 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Looking up the formatting for fstab for it to understand a bit more. Is the UUID available before I start the device? Basically it is ack'd by the kernel seeing the host drives having "linux raid" partitions? | 02:48 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest19867 | ||
| feyd | so much anger wasted, sigh | 02:48 |
| feyd | thanks guys | 02:48 |
| the_seraphim | ok hydrozi | 02:48 |
| syrinx | no problem | 02:48 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: yes, it will start and mount the device for you | 02:48 |
| the_seraphim | its unzip filname -d directory to send it to | 02:48 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: the UUID is ack'd by the kernel for sure :) | 02:49 |
| the_seraphim | hydrozii: so unzip file.zip -d extraction_folder | 02:49 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: you can even boot to it | 02:49 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Ok, I though since I saw the md0 device in there that it might not be available until added by the "Start" action that dialog also triggered | 02:49 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: definitely not to my knowledge, fstab will do it all | 02:50 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: I just built it for external storage... didn't want to risk and hassle of making it for the primary OS | 02:50 |
| hydrozii | ok | 02:50 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: definitely don't do that :) | 02:50 |

| hydrozii | when i did gzip it changed the file to file.zip.gz | 02:51 |

| micromatikal | I have to reboot here lol, just upgraded ubuntu :> | 02:51 |

| the_seraphim | anyone know how to get a file from a linux box to a windows box using only ssh | 02:52 |
| s2555 | Hi, i need help on what comand to use to install wireless network drivers on ubuntu server 10.10 | 02:52 |
| martin8412 | the_seraphim: scp | 02:53 |
| g_0_0 | !wifi | s2555 | 02:53 |
| ubottu | s2555: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:53 |
| the_seraphim | i know to use scp, but i cant seem to get it to work right | 02:53 |
| Norkakn | the_seraphim, winscp on the windows box, sudo-apt-get install openssh-server on the linux box | 02:53 |
| Terces|2 | say....is there are ubuntu support channel around, or is this it? | 02:53 |
| s2555 | the_seraphim try winSCP | 02:53 |
| Madpilot | Terces|2, this is it. | 02:53 |
| r0z4 | hi everybody is possible encrypt my whole hard drive? somebody has a tutorial, i have windows and Linux | 02:54 |
| the_seraphim | ive got openssh on the linux, i tried the scp from putty, ill try winscp | 02:54 |
| cyix | Hi all.. is it possible to make new desktop icons a smaller size when created vs resizing each one manually? ty. | 02:54 |
| Terces|2 | cause I have a really, really weird problem with my ubuntu setup | 02:54 |
| Terces|2 | :P | 02:54 |
| Madpilot | Terces|2, just ask, don't ask to ask | 02:54 |
| micromatikal | that was fast :) | 02:54 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Indeed | 02:55 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: My Disk Utility method gave the following : /dev/md0 on /media/2TB-RAID1 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) | 02:56 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: I suppose I could jsut copy those options verbatim so I can expect it to work as though I did it the same way jsut in case some definition of "default" changes risking screwing me over... | 02:56 |
| Terces|2 | okay...long eplanation ahead: I am running Windows 7 on one machine and ubuntu on the other. After endless struggles I was finally able to get ubuntu connect to the Win PC. But the connection is incredibly slow...only 1.0MB/s. I simply don't know what to do. I even tried using a different W-Lan card for my laptop (not the internal one), but that only made it worse! | 02:56 |
| cbthvy | winscp works well to scp from windows | 02:56 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Sound about right? | 02:56 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: Ok well you I suggest you add it by your UUID still for fstab, it just makes sure to grab the right volume, but ya it will work with those settings | 02:57 |
| s2555 | how do i install the drivers for my wireless adapter in ubuntu server 10.10? | 02:57 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: the only reason is if you ever add another raid in the future mdraid can get weird if you initialize one first and the other second.... it can think the new one is /md0.. but with UUID it has to be those disks.. | 02:57 |
| gaelfx | Terces|2: what exactly do you mean by connected and what are you trying to do? | 02:57 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: I was jsut saying to grab the option used in mount instead of "default". I'll still certainly use the UUID and not the block device "md0" for Id-ing it. That just makes good sense | 02:58 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: So (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) instead of "defaults" | 02:58 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micBut still map the UUID, not the "ordered" md0 that out lists | 02:58 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: yes | 02:58 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Good, jsut wanted to be clear :) | 02:59 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: right, just the UUID no /dev/md0 or anything :) no worries | 02:59 |
| birdman | question: How do I extract img files? | 02:59 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: make sure you do UUID= | 02:59 |

| Terces|2 | I'm trying to backup my files from my ubuntu laptop to my Windows PC. The laptop uses the WLan and my PC is plugged in to the router directly. But at first only my PC could see the Laptop in the network but my Laptop couldn't see my PC. After some tinkering, I finally made it work, but it is incredibly slow. When I move files it never exceeds 1 MB/s | 03:00 |

| micromatikal | Terces|2: have you tried plugging in the laptop for fun | 03:00 |
| gaelfx | !rsync | Terces|2 | 03:00 |
| ubottu | Terces|2: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync | 03:00 |
| micromatikal | Terces|2: ah yes, and how are you transferring, just samba? | 03:00 |
| Terces|2 | yes...smb | 03:01 |
| micromatikal | I do smb and it's quite fast over wireless.. | 03:01 |
| birdman | gaelfx: what package is archive-manager in? | 03:01 |
| gaelfx | Terces|2: assuming you're using samba, that probably not the best way to back things up | 03:01 |
| Terces|2 | but samba used to be quite fast in the past | 03:01 |
| s2555 | How would i set up a wireless network to connect to via terminal? | 03:01 |
| gaelfx | birdman: right-click the .img and tell me what programs it offers to open with | 03:01 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Yes, I noted the syntax from other mounts above it... quick one : what are the dump & pass fields for? | 03:02 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: dump and pass.. let me see here | 03:02 |
| birdman | gaelfx: there is no options | 03:02 |
| gaelfx | Terces|2: yes, but with samba you have to do everything by hand and make sure things are up to date, with rsync, it can keep track automagically and only updates when things change | 03:02 |

| prod__ | Hi all, I have been trying to get my games to run under wine for 2 days now with no success, finally i gave up on google and asked at winehq irc channel. I was told that "1757 pulseaudio" is my problem and that i need to either remove or disable pulseaudio depending on my distro. I was advised to come here and seek advice. I am kinda in over my head so if i am bein vague please let me know and ill try and elaborate. TIA | 03:10 |
| skor | Hi all. I'm trying to get ubuntu installed but I'm fortunate to have the problem of a good CD reporting corrupted packages. How do you install the base system via internet instead of CD ? | 03:11 |
| micromatikal | prod__: so you want to remove pulseaudio? | 03:11 |
| jhoc2x2 | anyone updated to the new *.*.35-25 kernel ?? | 03:11 |
| prod__ | Im not sure, afaik disabling will have huge conns and removing will maybe enable dmix or something along those lines | 03:12 |
| birdman | gaelfx: k, the wine method works.. :) | 03:12 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: shutting down, pulling the old single data HD and rebooting. BRB | 03:12 |

| === Althen is now known as P0link | ||
| micromatikal | prod__: I have no idea what the enabling dmix would mean but you can definitely try removing pulseaudio and see what happens | 03:13 |
| prod__ | just that if pulseaudio is gone then i can only have sound on one application | 03:13 |
| micromatikal | prod__: ah i see, well that may be true | 03:13 |
| micromatikal | prod__: but gettings games to play in Wine is not the simplest thing | 03:13 |
| prod__ | tell me about it :D | 03:14 |
| birdman | man.. linux really needs a mac emulator.. | 03:14 |
| prod__ | my reply was "Removing pulseaudio completely in most distributions re enabled dmix | 03:14 |
| prod__ | The solution is sound card and distribution dependant. prod__" | 03:14 |

| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: not "ubuntu" origin, but I suspect this guide's point is valid | 03:19 |

| kothaguy_Ubuntu1 | Hello ,Good Mornig | 03:46 |
| kothaguy_Ubuntu1 | I have an issue with my ubuntu,can i ask herer | 03:47 |
| nertil | yes | 03:48 |
| nertil | dont ask to ask just ask | 03:48 |
| thorny | i think so | 03:48 |
| nsd | How can I lockdown a user account (in a server install) so that it can't do anything? Especially so that a user cannot ssh into it | 03:49 |
| sloopy | remove the account? | 03:50 |
| nertil | failban it | 03:50 |
| bullgard | !ask | kothaguy_Ubuntu1 | 03:50 |
| ubottu | kothaguy_Ubuntu1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:50 |
| nsd | sloopy: No, I need the account, but mainly for storage with the given username | 03:50 |
| kothaguy_Ubuntu1 | When i boot my Acer,it is showing an message"the media point /sdb1 is not mounted,if you want to mount it now"and the below it shows,press S to skip,if i press S,it will be skipped,and normal login page will come,every time i shut down and on the netbook,same problem occuring for me,on the previous day,i without knowing i went to gcong editor,apps,nautilus,properties and i changed something there,i forgot what i did,please can any one tell me,w | 03:50 |
| kothaguy_Ubuntu1 | hat to do to avoid this mounting on booting startup | 03:50 |
| nsd | My main concern is that I don't want ssh to work for that user | 03:51 |
| sloopy | nsd, make the password something unreasonable... | 03:51 |
| shmup | so in the sensors applet, i see a cpu temp inside of ACPI, and in libsensors | 03:51 |
| shmup | which one shoudl i really be concerned with? | 03:51 |
| shmup | one is 40c, the other is 95c | 03:51 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: still looking, stumped for a sec | 03:52 |
| nsd | sloopy: Can't do that either, it's an e-mail server and the user corresponds to the e-mail account | 03:52 |
| shmup | one must be in the cpu, the other in the mobo cpu socket | 03:52 |
| kothaguy_Ubuntu1 | i tried everything in gconf editor,nautilus,apps,properties,but i cant avoid that message on booting | 03:52 |
| shmup | i dont know which one people usually pay attention to | 03:52 |
| nsd | kothaguy_Ubuntu1: Don't go screwing around with gconf-editor like that, it's not what you need to work on. Open up /etc/fstab (press alt+f2 and type in "gedit /etc/fstab" without the quotes then click run) to the ubuntu pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 03:53 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Same here. I installed the pyadm program that other page mentioned, but it looks like crap. I'm starting to think I SHOULD be looking at the mdadm.conf | 03:53 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: could be | 03:54 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: I did see where you define the arrays in there | 03:54 |
| bullgard | kothaguy_Ubuntu1: You did not describe your situation precisely enough. I guess that your file /etc/fstab may be at fault. Before you tamper with it please make a backup of it. | 03:54 |

| magpii | hi, I have a slight problem, when i click on any folder in the places section in the taskbar, it always takes me to appearance prefferences, anyone else had this problem with 10.10 maverick? if so, how do i resolve it? | 03:56 |
| Leif | apt-get purge down't fully uninstall it, and it wants me to then run apt-get install -f, which just sort of half installs it again. | 03:56 |
| Leif | Any ideas? Thanks | 03:56 |
| magpii | i am only a wek old with ubuntu myself and still ironing out some slight issues | 03:57 |
| nsd | g_0_0: I honestly don't know anything about that, but I'll certainly look into it, thanks. As far as how I've set up the e-mail server, I have a suspicion that I'm doing it "wrong"; I have getmail dumping mail into a user's maildir directory that is then made accesible via IMAP with dovecot; users log in via IMAP using the same user name and password on the server | 03:58 |
| dr_Willis_ | magpii ive seen that happen if the 'default app' thats used for folders get set to somthing other then the proper "open folder" program. I think i fixed it once using ubuntu-tweak. but there maybe othe rways to fix it. | 03:58 |
| magpii | where do i fnd the default app selection again? | 03:59 |
| clarkfischer | Ugh, this is totally killing me. | 04:00 |
| g_0_0 | nsd key based authenication is more secure than password login, create your keys with ssh-keygen copy pub key to server and shut off password login in sshd conf - google it | 04:00 |
| dr_Willis_ | i always just use the 'not in the repos' tool 'ubuntu-tweak' to handle that magpii. | 04:00 |

| clarkfischer | nvidia drivers are limiting me to 800x600 | 04:00 |
| clarkfischer | xrandr gives me a crtc 0 failed when changing modes | 04:00 |
| magpii | is ubuntu tweak in the repository? | 04:00 |
| Madpilot | magpii, or just right-click on any file, choose Properties, then the Open With tab | 04:00 |
| rww | magpii: no | 04:01 |
| tag` | I just installed 10.10 after a day or so i just logged in and my gnome-terminal will not open, it closes right away. I created a new users and on that account it works any suggestions? | 04:01 |
| magpii | i tried the right clicking, but all it does is open the folder thats selected, its not opening the appearance preferences in the programs, but actually every folder in places seems to open app preferences | 04:01 |
| Leif | Oh, also, I don't believe I have any other 3rd parties repos that use this package. | 04:02 |

| nsd | kothaguy_Ubuntu1: Okay, so each line in that file is a device that was found during installation that was added to the file so that it's automatically mounted (made so that you can open it) when you power on your computer. You can also add lines to make it so that it's easier to mount drives (i.e., so they're not automatically mounted) but in this case, it looks like it tries to mount that one entry when it shouldn't | 04:05 |

| kothaguy_Ubuntu1 | nsd, http://paste.ubuntu.com/572470/ | 04:11 |
| nsd | a-t-l: That would be a change in the flash player, and there's nothing much you can do about it | 04:11 |
| nsd | a-t-l: (I think) | 04:11 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, try - cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts - you will see it spit out the keys for known hosts | 04:11 |
| nsd | kothaguy_Ubuntu1: No, put the # at the start of the last line, not the end of it | 04:12 |
| a-t-l | hmmm is it on new one only or old flash players as well | 04:12 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Still drilling here. Curious there is no UUID map for the member drives. | 04:12 |
| nsd | kothaguy_Ubuntu1: Like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/572471/ | 04:12 |
| richardcavell | Hi everyone. I'm trying to use libcurl on Ubuntu 10.10 with gcc. But I can't find curl.h. I've done sudo apt-get install libcurl3-dev and then libcurl4-dev but still no curl.h! | 04:12 |
| hhhzzzarn | g 0 0: ok | 04:12 |
| kothaguy_Ubuntu1 | nsd,i have to put a# at the start of the last line? | 04:13 |
| a-t-l | is there any software for ubuntu i can use to download youtube videos | 04:13 |
| nsd | kothaguy_Ubuntu1: Yes. | 04:13 |
| bullgard | a-t-l: Yes. | 04:13 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, delete that file and try and connect to the server again | 04:13 |
| a-t-l | which one is it? | 04:13 |
| hhhzzzarn | g 0 0: no such file or directory. | 04:13 |
| nsd | richardcavell: Try doing sudo updatedb; locate curl.h, maybe you can find it that way | 04:13 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, did you type that in the terminal? | 04:14 |
| hhhzzzarn | g 0 0, perhaps this helps: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/ssh-in-ubuntu-707442/ | 04:14 |
| hhhzzzarn | yes | 04:14 |
| a-t-l | bullgard can u tell me what i can use? | 04:14 |
| richardcavell | nsd: oh thanks I got it | 04:14 |
| nsd | richardcavell: np | 04:14 |

| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, which account are you using to connect to the server? | 04:14 |
| nsd | a-t-l: You must realize that downloading Youtube videos is, in most cases, illegal, so I won't help you with that, sorry | 04:14 |
| bullgard | a-t-l: No, I cannot be specific. It depends on the country in which you live. | 04:14 |
| hhhzzzarn | i was using x2go remote clioent | 04:14 |
| nsd | a-t-l: In most countries, anyways | 04:15 |
| hhhzzzarn | g 0 0: i am on vps. | 04:15 |
| a-t-l | USA | 04:15 |
| hhhzzzarn | g 0 0: trying to connect to vps. | 04:15 |
| nsd | a-t-l: Then it's illegal. | 04:15 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, ??? in the terminal on your local machine type - cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 04:15 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, and note the . before ssh | 04:15 |
| hhhzzzarn | that is that i did. | 04:15 |
| a-t-l | i'm just trying why there is not tmp video in tmp file anymore? | 04:15 |

| nsd | kothaguy_Ubuntu1: Delete the letter 'a' at the start of the line. You just want a singular '#' at the start of the line. I wasn't clear enough, I guess. Alternatively, close the file (discarding any changes), then do alt-f2 and copy and paste this in: gksu sed "s/^.*vfat/#&/" /etc/fstab | 04:17 |
| nsd | Starting from gksu | 04:17 |
| drc | Madpilot: Actually yes it does...but I forgot that I had already changes the default location for Desktop (without making the folder there...well, alls well that ends well...Thanks! | 04:18 |
| rww | jhoc2x2: Don't crosspost to several channels, or ask support questions in #ubuntu-offtopic, please. | 04:18 |
| Madpilot | drc, nice when things have simple fixes, isn't it? | 04:18 |
| a-t-l | there is nothing | 04:18 |
| fisch246 | this may be OCD... but this is really starting to bug me... i was messing around with Orca and i found "speech-dispatcher" in the sound menu... since i had no use for it anymore... i just removed the package... however it is still in the menu, and it's really starting to bug me... that sound is going to something that doesn't exist -__- any suggestions? | 04:19 |
| a-t-l | do i have to change anything in fstab | 04:19 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Got an idea : I think part of the problem is that the target for the mount is an auto-created folder. | 04:19 |

| abecx | Hello, I am trying to install ubuntu 10.10 64 bit on my desktop machine, however every time i install it and reboot, I get no grub prompt or linux, it basically just hangs where it would normally boot the OS. I'm not really sure where to start troubleshooting | 04:19 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: and I just tried creating it in Media, but that root r/w only | 04:19 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: I think I'm an inch away. | 04:19 |
| imbalism | hi | 04:19 |
| a-t-l | i dont get it | 04:19 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: you are, I thought it was a regular folder lol | 04:19 |
| drc | Madpilot: Yes it is. It's always the little things that reach out and bite you in the...Again thanks | 04:19 |
| micromatikal | ya just make it a regular mount point, that isn't helping ;) | 04:20 |
| imbalism | Can I ask something here? | 04:20 |
| micromatikal | !question | 04:20 |
| 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. :-) | 04:20 |
| rww | imbalism: if it's an Ubuntu support question, yes. | 04:20 |
| nsd | imbalism: Go ahead. In fact, never bother asking to ask | 04:20 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: I'm wondering if I try to make it as root (the folder was under my running user for owner), if that'll FUBAR something. | 04:20 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, check here -> http://wiki.x2go.org/installing_x2goserver-home_ubuntu | 04:20 |
| micromatikal | no it wont lol | 04:20 |
| micromatikal | just do it as root you are fine | 04:20 |
| micromatikal | it mounts from fstab as root | 04:20 |
| magpii | i keep getting diverted to appearence preferences whenever i click on any folder under the places tab, i have tried installing ubuntu tweak but it gives me this message "The package indexes are currently changed by apt-get." can someone advise please? | 04:20 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: basically I want it to show up in nautilus, and the rest of gnome as a standard device... | 04:20 |
| hhhzzzarn | g 0 0: Were you talking about the remote computer or my computer? | 04:21 |
| kothaguy_Ubuntu1 | nsd, http://paste.ubuntu.com/572473/ | 04:21 |
| Madpilot | drc, several versions ago, Ubuntu (Nautilus, really) had an irritating bug where if /Documents existed, it defaulted to that in ALL File Open/File Save/etc dialogue windows. I wound up having a "Docs" folder for a few months. Simple things irritate. | 04:21 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, your computer not the remote | 04:21 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Ok, taking the plunge, BRB | 04:21 |
| hhhzzzarn | oh ok, yes i have it | 04:21 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, well delete it | 04:21 |
| nsd | kothaguy_Ubuntu1: Yep, that's fine. Try rebooting now. | 04:21 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, and then connect to the server again | 04:21 |
| hhhzzzarn | g 0 0: delete the file? | 04:21 |
| hhhzzzarn | i have two files: authorized-keys and known-hosts | 04:22 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, the known_hosts file in your local .ssh directory yes | 04:22 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, just known_hosts | 04:22 |
| Binary_Wolf | what is the problem? | 04:22 |
| imbalism | I've brought an old keyboard, which uses a ps2->usb adaptor to connect my notebook. There is a diamond key that has no scancode and keycode. However, when I cat /dev/usb* and press the diamond key, i can see some reaction in this file | 04:23 |
| kothaguy_Ubuntu1 | nsd : Thank you,i will do it and i will be back in few minutes if everything is good,Thank you | 04:23 |

| e621 | if I install drivers while booted from live cd, the drivers will be installed to the linux version on the hd? | 04:25 |
| e621 | or they'll be there only until I restart? | 04:26 |
| twur | only until you restart. The live cd doesn't touch the hard drive | 04:26 |

| twur | e621: You can create some space on your flash drive for storing personal settings and such | 04:27 |
| e621 | I installed ubuntu but goes to a blank screen and I read is because it is missing the nvidia drivers | 04:27 |
| terry | e621: Or on your hard drive if you choose | 04:27 |
| e621 | the thing is drivers... | 04:27 |
| e621 | so the screen doesn go blank | 04:27 |

| e621 | terry right | 04:28 |
| terry | e621: Did you turn off the Xserver first? | 04:28 |
| e621 | booting from the cd I had the option to install the driver | 04:28 |
| hhhzzzarn | anyone know what is "snd"? | 04:28 |
| e621 | if I turn on the computer it goes directly to blank screen | 04:28 |
| terry | e621: At any rate, it does very little good unless you intend to use a stroage device to save it. | 04:29 |
| e621 | shows the brand (with the f1 boot order, f10 settings ) | 04:29 |
| e621 | and then goes blank | 04:29 |

| e621 | no | 04:33 |
| e621 | no login | 04:33 |
| twur | The Ubuntu graphical installer is poor at detecting and setting up old graphics cards and monitors. It is a strange and frustrating problem because once Ubuntu is installed it detects and configures them effortlessly. <--- If this is the case, try the alternate installer | 04:33 |
| e621 | just the compaq screen | 04:33 |

| e621 | cwheeler, you have ubuntu working on a nvidia? | 04:37 |
| e621 | did you have any problems with blank screens? | 04:37 |
| e621 | during and after installing? | 04:37 |
| hhhzzzarn | g 0 0: for faster connection, jpeg compressions larger? and jpeg quality lower? | 04:37 |
| cwheeler | no blank screens but it's 800x600 | 04:38 |
| e621 | twur I allways seed! | 04:38 |
| twur | e621: I wasn't here earlier if you mentioned it. Which nVidia card are you using? Works fine with my 9400 | 04:38 |
| e621 | I odn't even know which ones | 04:38 |
| cwheeler | the ubuntu driver doesn't seem to like it | 04:38 |
| e621 | I know nvidia bc I can see the sticker | 04:38 |
| g_0_0 | hhhzzzarn, more compression may help - so more compression less quality if you like | 04:38 |
| e621 | bascially goes blank screen right after booting | 04:39 |
| e621 | mine | 04:39 |
| twur | Ubuntu doesn't make drivers for graphics cards. That's the linux kernel | 04:39 |
| e621 | doesn't get much more frustrating than that | 04:39 |
| e621 | yeah well.. a os the let's a computer boot abd then goes blank screen | 04:39 |
| cwheeler | not true there are linux drivers on the nvidia site | 04:39 |
| e621 | is as good as a rock | 04:39 |

| hhhzzzarn | twur: i am running a java game bot (graphical). vnc was slow. | 04:43 |
| hhhzzzarn | freenx was the same. | 04:43 |
| twur | hhhzzzarn: This is a headless server, right? My understanding is that you'll get errors trying to boot a gui on a headless machine | 04:44 |
| e621 | twur if with the life cd I go to install ubuntu (I already did that once) can you install drivers from there? | 04:44 |
| hhhzzzarn | twur, i have no problem with vnc, freenx, and x2go. | 04:45 |
| e621 | I basically need to put in the nvidia drivers or the optioon: nomodeset | 04:45 |
| hhhzzzarn | Right now, my x2go with ubuntu 10.04 , ubuntu-desktop is working fine. | 04:45 |
| twur | So you only boot it when you capture the X session? | 04:46 |
| hhhzzzarn | The other one is ubuntu 9.10, xubuntu-desktop, x2goserver. | 04:46 |
| hhhzzzarn | yes, i guess. | 04:46 |

| e621 | twur I'll do that tomorrow, when the torrent is downloaded ^-^ | 04:59 |
| bazhang | magpiie, check their documentation; we don | 05:00 |
| redGoat | magpiie: Right-click on the folders, Properties. Change to nautilus for default. Don't use Ubuntu Tweak. :( | 05:00 |
| bazhang | magpiie, we dont support 3rd software such as ubuntu-tweak | 05:00 |
| twur | e621: good luck :) | 05:00 |
| magpiie | i cannot right click on any folder in the places tab, whenever i do, it opens the appearence settings window | 05:01 |
| bazhang | magpiie, thats a problem with Ubuntu-tweak, it has nothing to do with ubuntu | 05:01 |
| SE7EN-LOCSTA | hi folks | 05:01 |
| redGoat | magpiie: Pick any folder in ~/home. Don't do it from Places. | 05:01 |
| magpiie | i was having the problem before i installed ubuntu tweaks, thats why i downloaded it, it was recommended on here as a workaround | 05:02 |
| dr_Willis_ | Right clicking on a folder in places? Hmm. You mean the sidebar? or the menu item? | 05:02 |
| TheMusicGuy | Ubuntu won't respond to input from my Wacom tablet. The guides I'm getting from Google don't seem to apply or else don't work. | 05:02 |
| bazhang | magpiie, well remove it, then fix it | 05:02 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | Hi Friends,i have an issue with my acer aspire one 532h with SD card reader,Ubuntu is not detecting my SD Card Reader,It wont work,when i insert the card reader,Any Help? | 05:02 |
| redGoat | dr_Willis_: Any folder you're having issues with. He is trying to right-click "Places" on gnome-panel. | 05:02 |
| * dr_Willis_ is confused now. :) | 05:03 | |
| dr_Willis_ | im not in gnome - so cant recreate what hes doing. | 05:03 |
| |cE^MaN^^ | hellow | 05:04 |
| |cE^MaN^^ | anyone who could help me please | 05:04 |
| dr_Willis_ | if you were to doiuble click on a folder. or select a folder in the places menu item. and it opens the wrong item. that would be a sign your default application for 'folders' is incorrect. | 05:04 |
| |cE^MaN^^ | my ip add was blocked | 05:04 |
| magpiie | whenever i either left click, or right click on any of the folders in the places drop down menue from the taskbar, it opens the appearence preferences, i had the issue before i installed tweak, i installed that software as recommended erlier as a work around seeing as i am new to ubuntu. the issue is their regardless of tweak or not being installed | 05:04 |
| twur | |cE^MaN^^: Blocked by who? | 05:05 |
| llutz_ | kothaguy_ubuntu are you trying to use the "SD expansion" slot? | 05:05 |
| bazhang | magpiie, uninstall it first | 05:05 |
| |cE^MaN^^ | and i cant enter ubuntuforums.org because my io was blocked | 05:05 |
| |cE^MaN^^ | my ip* | 05:05 |
| bazhang | |cE^MaN^^, ask in #ubuntuforums | 05:05 |
| dr_Willis_ | magpii ubuntu-tweak has a 'file assoications' feature - see what the 'folder' entry is set to open with by default. It also has a 'reset gnome back to defaults' feature. Im not on a linux box right now so cant suggest anything in more details. | 05:06 |
| magpiie | tweak has been completly removed via synapic manager, still the problem is there | 05:06 |
| |cE^MaN^^ | @iceman thanks | 05:06 |
| jimenki | stay cool | 05:07 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | llutz, Yes,i am using the Sd car slot | 05:07 |
| llutz_ | kothaguy_ubuntu: does the 532 have 2 slots, like the 531? | 05:07 |
| redGoat | magpiie: The issue is caused by you. Not Ubuntu Tweak. However, we still don't recommend using Ubuntu Tweak as a workaround. We recommend a terminal instead. | 05:07 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | llutz, No it has only one slot | 05:07 |
| llutz_ | kothaguy_ubuntu: ah ok | 05:08 |
| magpiie | ok, all the folders are pointing to their respective areas on the system, yet all when click on, open up the appearences window | 05:08 |

| tdignan | Anyone have ubuntu working with multiple monitors and an ATI Radeon 4*** card?\ | 05:10 |
| l3en | hi | 05:11 |
| soreau | tdignan: no, why? | 05:11 |
| llutz_ | kothaguy_ubuntu: check last lines of "dmesg" after you inserted a sd-card, any info? | 05:11 |
| tdignan | X -configure yields unusable configurations for me, I'm not able to use the bigmonitor guide.. xrandr isn't working, neither is the admin interface in KDE to set up multiple\ | 05:11 |
| tdignan | I think I'm using fglrx because I clicked and installed it from proprietary drivers | 05:11 |
| l3en | i have a problem using ubuntu on my VMware workstation | 05:11 |
| magpiie | awesome, that worked, cheers. any ideas as to what i was doing wrong? | 05:11 |
| tdignan | and, fglrxinfo yields results | 05:12 |
| tdignan | fglrx_gears works | 05:12 |
| bazhang | magpiie, using ubuntu tweak | 05:12 |
| tdignan | but, no multiple monitors... | 05:12 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Ok, I've reached the end of my debugging for this today. Still can't quite find the right place.... | 05:12 |
| soreau | tdignan: Which driver are you using? | 05:12 |
| tdignan | soreau: to the best of my knowledge, fglrx | 05:12 |
| tdignan | I should probably check the xorg log, huh | 05:12 |
| micromatikal | 13 | 05:12 |
| micromatikal | oops | 05:12 |
| soreau | tdignan: Ah, that's the closed source proprietary driver. You should remove it and use the open source radeon driver instead | 05:12 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: you still around | 05:12 |
| magpiie | but like i was trying to say before, i was having the issue before ubuntu twaek was ever installed, i mentioned the problem on here, and was given the link to ubuntu tweak as a possible solution | 05:13 |
| Arafangion | How do I boot the live cd straight into the command line? | 05:13 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: ya man I gave up lol so sorry :( I will be around though if you want to hit me up tomorrow or something, will check around | 05:13 |

| amit | 64 bit OS is not installing on my virtual box it says this kernel requires an x86-64 CPU,but only detected an i686 CPU Unable to boot -please use a kernel appropriate for ur CPU? | 05:13 |
| magpiie | thanks for the code to resolve the issue, i will be saving it in my growing list of things to learn | 05:13 |
| Arafangion | expiation: rdesktop. | 05:13 |
| redGoat | magpiie: You "Open With --> Appearance Windows; Default=OK" with a folder. That's essentially what happened. | 05:13 |
| expiation | Arafangion thanks | 05:13 |
| [TK]D-Fender | micromatikal: Oh... don't worry .. I'll be back, and I'll get whatever help happens to be around when I do, but I thank you for your efforts thus far. | 05:14 |
| Arafangion | expiation: Might not work with domain-based logins though. | 05:14 |
| micromatikal | [TK]D-Fender: no worries man have a good night | 05:14 |
| expiation | also how do I set the close minimize maximize stuff to be on the right side? | 05:14 |
| llutz_ | kothaguy_ubuntu: that is the easy way :) "dmesg" without quotes | 05:14 |

| gazap-on | hello, do you guys lnow if exist an open source flash player software for browsers? | 05:14 |
| redGoat | magpiie: It's not a code. It's a command. I gave you the command to remove a single file. That single file preserves all default applications for certain file/folders. When you made VLC a default player for avi, mkv, etc. That information goes in that file. | 05:14 |
| amit | ?? no one? | 05:14 |

| Arafangion | l3en: It's possible you have to update your kernel drivers to suit the new kernel, if it's the kernel that you upgraded. | 05:15 |
| rww | gazap-on: which doesn't work very well. | 05:15 |
| gazap-on | adobe flash player, eat too much cpu % | 05:15 |

| amit | SE7EN-LOCSTA; plz tell me what do do next. an how to enable VT? | 05:42 |
| shawngmc | nobody for my softraid question? crud. | 05:42 |
| SE7EN-LOCSTA | i am a linux-noob, i was seeing if that was the problem, past that.. i dont know, sorry man | 05:42 |
| rigved | amit: not sure but try this in the terminal: sudo lshw | less It should list all the capabilities of your processor (you may have to scroll down using the down arrow key) | 05:43 |
| rigved | amit: if it is VT enabled, it should be listed there | 05:43 |
| amit | rigved: i saw in flag option under command cat /proc/cpuinfo there is vmx in flags option | 05:43 |
| magpiie | Where do i find the option to save running programs for next time i log onto my desktop? | 05:44 |
| shawngmc | magpile: System > Preferences > Startup Applications, then the options tab | 05:45 |
| JeffCBR | How do I check what drivers my devices are using? | 05:46 |
| rigved | amit: ya you can do that too. so it supports VT. now check the BIOS to see if VT is enabled | 05:47 |
| JeffCBR | route -e | 05:47 |
| Starcraftmazter | are there any bugs in vlc which make it crash when using open network stream? | 05:47 |
| BiPolah | Magpiie: Preferences > Screensaver perhaps? | 05:47 |
| amit | rigved; sorry tell me how to check BIOS through command | 05:47 |
| BiPolah | Magpiie: Sorry, Startup Applications, not Screensaver | 05:48 |
| amit | rigved: i have no idea related to VT through BIOS check | 05:48 |
| rigved | Starcraftmazter: if the network stream address is not correct, then it'll close | 05:48 |
| Starcraftmazter | rigved: my vlc crashes X simply when i click on 'open network stream' | 05:48 |
| rigved | amit: not via terminal.you need to restart your computer. on the motherboard logo screen, it should say something like Press <F1> for setup. press F1 to enter BIOS. the VT option should be somewhere there | 05:49 |
| rigved | Starcraftmazter: which version? | 05:49 |
| Starcraftmazter | rigved: whatever is in the ubuntu repos | 05:50 |
| Starcraftmazter | its been happening for a while | 05:50 |
| Starcraftmazter | it just says 'vlc <unknown>: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.' and crashes X | 05:50 |
| Logan_WP | Starcraftmazter: Have you asked in #videolan ? | 05:50 |
| amit | rigved: o thanx m going to try if it would disable i have to enable it? | 05:51 |
| Starcraftmazter | nope what channel ios thjat for>? | 05:51 |
| rigved | Starcraftmazter: it shouldn't. run vlc from the terminal. then try to open it the network stream. if it crashes, there should be a detailed error message in the terminal | 05:51 |
| Starcraftmazter | rigved: i did, i just pased the message | 05:51 |
| Logan_WP | Starcraftmazter: VLC | 05:51 |
| Starcraftmazter | 'vlc <unknown>: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.' | 05:51 |
| Starcraftmazter | thats the only thing it said | 05:51 |
| canthiswait | is there default alternative to ESC+B/ESC-F for moving back or forward a word in the terminal? | 05:51 |
| rigved | Starcraftmazter: then it says that the stream that you are trying to access refused to allow you to connect | 05:52 |
| rigved | amit: yes, enable it | 05:52 |
| Guest26834 | does anybody use gnucash? | 05:52 |
| Starcraftmazter | rigved: you misunderstand. I do not get to the stage where i enter the stream URL. As soon as I pick the option to open a network stream, VLC crashes X | 05:52 |
| amit | rigved; should i also to enable the I/O APIC i | 05:53 |
| rigved | Starcraftmazter: ok. | 05:53 |
| Logan_WP | Guest26834: You can find help with gnucash on irc.gnome.org on channel #gnucash | 05:53 |
| Starcraftmazter | is this a known issue in VLC or ubuntu or ubuntu-vlc? | 05:53 |
| rigved | amit: i do not know about that. but give me a moment and i'll tell you | 05:53 |
| amit | rigved: o k at this time m going to enbale VT | 05:53 |
| Guest26834 | thx | 05:54 |
| Guest26834 | @logan thx | 05:55 |

| shawngmc | well, let me ask this: if it's not in fstab and mdadm, where is disk utility (and, by extension, I suppose, mdadm) picking up the MD superblocks? | 06:01 |
| lolicon | dr_Willis_: i want i spindown immediately since i 'm going to remove it .. | 06:02 |
| Ethelwulf | lolicon: do you want to know if it's safe to unplug at this point or do you want to spin it down to save power? | 06:02 |
| lolicon | Ethelwulf: the former | 06:02 |
| amit | rigved: i have enabled intel VT for directed I/O (VT-d) as it says enable or disable processor support for virtualization | 06:02 |
| dr_Willis_ | lolicon if its unmounted. you can remove it. | 06:02 |
| rigved | Starcraftmazter: i cannot find anything on the web. maybe try to check if all the dependencies are satisfied. | 06:03 |
| rigved | amit: was it disabled before? | 06:03 |
| Satisfied | yes, they are. | 06:03 |
| lolicon | dr_Willis_: but it's a hard drive , not a flash disk .. | 06:04 |
| tripelbaby | hi all, I need to have some reference page so I can look up to see if - a particular laptop has a wireless card that will work (flawlessly!) with Ubuntu. (laffs) | 06:04 |
| dr_Willis_ | lolicon dosent matter.. | 06:04 |
| rigved | Starcraftmazter: if you think it's a bug, then create file a new bug | 06:04 |
| amit | rigved: there is also an option only intel VT it says that any changes to this seting requires power cycling to take effect but i don't enable this option. ya previously that was disable i enabled that | 06:04 |

| dr_Willis_ | Hello Trip. | 06:04 |
| dpierce | lolicon: unless its a hotswap drive you shouldnt have to worry about it | 06:04 |
| Ethelwulf | I assume his drive is powered by the usb and not an external source | 06:05 |
| lolicon | dpierce: 'hotswap' ? | 06:05 |
| rigved | amit: ok. so now try to run that virtual x86_64 OS | 06:05 |
| amit | rigved: o k thanx m going to try | 06:05 |
| lolicon | Ethelwulf: yes, it's powered by the usb | 06:05 |
| amit | rigved: how much min ram should i give to it | 06:05 |
| madsailor | tripelbaby, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 06:06 |
| tripelbaby | <-- wants wireless card info - yes I want to guy this acer tonight... ah madsailor, TY | 06:06 |
| rigved | amit: which OS is it? will it have GUI? or only terminal? | 06:06 |
| Starcraftmazter | rigved: yeh i think i will | 06:06 |
| madsailor | tripelbaby, np | 06:06 |
| amit | rigved: redhat 6 beta | 06:06 |
| tripelbaby | madsailor, acer isnt on the list at all!! | 06:07 |
| rigved | amit: sorry i don't know much about RedHat. will it have a GUI? | 06:07 |
| madsailor | tripelbaby, you may need to find out which wieless chipset is being used ;) | 06:08 |
| tripelbaby | madsailor, I will not use the windows. final answer. | 06:08 |
| amit | rigved: yes but after certain technical setting we get gui in it as now only interactive mode means terminal | 06:08 |
| Ethelwulf | lolicon: the only concerns of data corruption are if files are being written to the drive when you unplug it. Unmounting the drive tells the OS to finish writing whatever it writing to the hard drive. At that point it is indeed safe to unplug, it doesn't necessarily need to spin down to be safe to unplug. | 06:08 |
| Logan_WP | amit: RedHat support is on irc.servercentral.net #redhat | 06:08 |
| dpierce | lolicon: just specialized caddy loaded drives. often found on servers | 06:08 |
| tripelbaby | madsailor, arg. I'll look on the websites... | 06:08 |
| rigved | amit: on the RedHat website, there should be a mention of the minimum and the recommended amount of RAM. you can give it that much | 06:08 |
| lolicon | Ethelwulf: will it damage the disk? | 06:09 |
| amit | rigved: what was the second option that only says intel VT- any changes to this setting requires power cycling to take effect as i not enable this | 06:09 |
| Ethelwulf | lolicon: nope | 06:09 |
| lolicon | Ethelwulf: the surface and heads .. | 06:09 |
| gaelfx | Ethelwulf: the only thing that should damage that is propelling it at a solid object at great speed | 06:10 |
| Ethelwulf | gaelfx: lol | 06:10 |
| rigved | amit: you enaled VT-d right? | 06:10 |
| amit | rigved; yes | 06:10 |
| rigved | amit: and the other option was Intel VT? | 06:11 |
| amit | rigved: yes both are of intel but one with -d and onthe not having this | 06:11 |
| === speedrunnerG55 is now known as speed-zzzzzz | ||

| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:14 |

| amit | rigved: ok m coming after doing this ok | 06:18 |
| rigved | amit: ok. then test your virtual OS | 06:18 |

| amit | rigved: ok m coming after doing this thanx | 06:19 |
| raido | JeffCBR: Thats where you would put it if you are using the wireless tools from the command line to bring up you wireless networks, otherwise I think its done another way when using the Gonme or KDE tools | 06:19 |

| godsgrace | Hello | 06:21 |
| JeffCBR | Thanks, raido... it's not working for some reason. Right now I'm stuck trying to find out which module is my wifi driver. I used lsmod, but there are a few listings pertaining to ath and I googled all of them and I'm not sure which is the driver. | 06:23 |
| raido | sgtmattbaker: you need to login to the gdm as root then with the gconf editor set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry" to on | 06:24 |
| Ethelwulf | gaelfx: Hmm... I haven't used vdpau much since XV works so well. I'm having no trouble watching 720p video on an old dell inspiron laptop. However it seems my wiki dive into it has revealed that XV will use the gpu. Try, within the drop-down menu, one of the versions of XV that mentions your video card. | 06:24 |
| soreau | JeffCBR: If you have an atheros chip, it's likely either ath9k or ath5k | 06:24 |
| sgtmattbaker | raido: Ok. I used the sudo command.. | 06:24 |
| dr_Willis_ | any module may also load other modules.. | 06:24 |
| JeffCBR | soreau: Thanks! | 06:25 |
| immy | how can i do this: mkdir blah/blah2 | 06:25 |
| raido | No, you have to login to gonem as root, you want this for the root user right? | 06:25 |

| overrider | llutz_: yes its a drive used in a raid array later mounted to /data , not a system drive. Is it safe? | 06:41 |
| soraya | gaelfx, how i do that pal ? | 06:41 |
| gaelfx | soraya: but I'm not sure how you get the authentication to automagically popup | 06:41 |
| gaelfx | soraya: do "man chmod" in a terminal, I think it'll tell you how to do whatever you want and more | 06:42 |
| llutz_ | overrider: it is. the reserved space makes only sense on / (/tmp, /var). | 06:42 |
| gaelfx | soraya: are you trying to do this for an app or a file? | 06:43 |
| soraya | gaelfx, apps | 06:43 |
| amit | raido:Sir!now what to do to solve this problem | 06:43 |
| JeffCBR | Thanks for the info about services, guys. I hadn't gotten around to that side of it, yet. | 06:43 |
| bullgard | llutz_: My problem was that I had no idea that I might not have installed a certain DEB program package. I thought that there was a reshuffle in the GNOME package seahorse or similar. | 06:44 |
| raido | soraya: if you wanf detailed control over who does what on a system you want to look at implementing ACL (access control lists) | 06:44 |
| JeffCBR | So, how do I stop services from running at startup? I don't need nm at all, really. | 06:44 |
| raido | amit: no way to know from here | 06:44 |
| gaelfx | JeffCBR: it ain't no thing, I only learned about it a little while ago myself | 06:44 |
| JeffCBR | dhclient still can't get an IP. | 06:45 |

| bloodriver | Question: I set up a dual boot system (7 and Meerkat), installed 7 and then 'kat but now I get grub rescue> prompt. I've never had this problem before. Anyone can direct me to an address on how to troubleshoot (and solve) this problem? I've googled until my google is dry. | 07:00 |
| amit | raido: the basis of this question is why virtual box OSE not installing OS of 64 bit ? | 07:00 |
| raido | amit: Virtual Box does not allow 64bit virtual machines | 07:00 |
| Ritlee | so i have a nfs share mounted, I am trying to recursively copy a folder from the mount onto the current machine... which has 1.8 TB free... but i get the error "cp: cannot create directory 'Big Momma/Videos': No space left on device" as well as ALL the other directories inside being listed with the same error | 07:00 |
| amit | raido: r u sure | 07:00 |
| birdinatux | bloodriver I think they make a cream for a dry google. | 07:00 |
| raido | Yes | 07:00 |
| raido | amit: OSE is limited to 32bit | 07:01 |
| raido | amit: you should have noticet that when you chose the host system specs for the VM you created | 07:01 |
| amit | raido: but when m installing it from s/w centre it is showing it for x86-64 | 07:02 |
| barebone | Hello everyone, I installed deskop recorder for screen recording. How can I highlight the pose pointer/cursor? It's needed to guide where the mouse is. | 07:02 |
| barebone | mouse pointer/cursor* | 07:03 |
| raido | amit: Dude, thate because your machine is 64 bit. It will only allow you to build 32bit VMs | 07:03 |
| amit | raido: then what to do to use 64 bit on any virtual box | 07:03 |
| === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ | ||
| karla | amit, that probably just refers to virtualbox itself being a software package built for a 64bit os | 07:04 |
| raido | amit: Pay money to Virtual Box or use another VM | 07:04 |
| llutz_ | raido: vbox has 64bit guest-support since 2.0, so has ose | 07:04 |
| bloodriver | I'd have to run it by my doctor, as I'm on antibotics now...non-google related...but what's the dealy-o on this grub rescue>? | 07:04 |
| josefig1 | lol | 07:04 |
| Ritlee | amit, why are you so hard pressed to use 64 bit? most programs haven't been written with a 64 bit version yet | 07:04 |
| karla | raido, i thought virtualbox was free??? | 07:04 |
| FluxD | Is there a way to turn off libnotify for certain apps? And is there a way to turn off libnotify completely? | 07:04 |
| amit | ritlee: i just want to try redhat 6 as m studying for RHCE6 | 07:05 |
| llutz_ | karla: free as in beer | 07:05 |
| Ritlee | amit, and it doesn't come in an x86 version? | 07:05 |
| amit | Ritlee: yes it is of 64 bit | 07:06 |
| karla | llutz, ugh, why does it always have to be beer? | 07:06 |
| amit | ritlee: check it | 07:06 |
| amit | only issue is related to virtual box with 64 bit not with redhat | 07:07 |
| raido | llutz_: hmmmm | 07:07 |
| llutz_ | raido: difference PUEL<->OSE is just the missing prorietary usb-part | 07:09 |
| raido | llutz_: News to me. I havent used it in a while. Thanks. | 07:09 |
| Ritlee | amit, looking at their site... but it does appear they have a 32 bit version of 6 | 07:10 |
| Ritlee | amit, are you looking for a server or desktop? | 07:11 |
| amit | ritlle:enterprises | 07:11 |
| josefig1 | I have a dell 15r and i cannot get working my bluetooth, some help? | 07:11 |
| Ritlee | amit Red Hat current versions are all enterprise... they have both server and desktop in the enterprise flavour | 07:12 |
| raido | amit: I think you done understand that if you have a 64 bit machine you install 64bit packages "virtualbox-ose_64.deb" than you can install 32 or 64 vit VMs on the virtual host | 07:12 |
| amit | Ritlee: dude don't take my discussion in another way i just want to learn from u guys | 07:12 |
| amit | raido: ok | 07:13 |
| raido | amit: you have a 64 bit computer, you will allways (well..) install 64bit packages on it. | 07:13 |
| Ritlee | amit i'm just trying to figure out what it is you are trying to install on VB and show you a 32 bit version that will work for you | 07:14 |
| raido | amit: but as far as the virtual host goes, pick your choice. | 07:14 |
| Ritlee | raido, very true as long as the HOST OS is 64 bit as well ;) | 07:14 |
| caoyu1099 | wireless drive ,bcm4312 | 07:14 |
| raido | Ritlee: yes, indeed | 07:15 |

| Fr33_z3 | :-) hi karla | 07:18 |
| karla | :) | 07:18 |
| Fr33_z3 | i have a small problem with my Mobile Broadband connection | 07:18 |
| Fr33_z3 | I was surfing when it suddenly stopped working. I downloaded and installed wine, after which it completely stopped working | 07:19 |
| Fr33_z3 | im able to get the device connected, and I'm also getting wvdial to issue me the IP addresses | 07:19 |
| Fr33_z3 | but I'm not able to browse or do anything with the connection | 07:20 |
| karla | Fr33_z3, can you ping, say 4.2.2.2 ? | 07:20 |
| Fr33_z3 | i tried pinging my DNS server, but I'm getting a sendmsg denied error | 07:20 |
| karla | ah | 07:20 |
| jigynet | what is dhcp? | 07:20 |
| karla | Jeopardy! | 07:20 |
| jigynet | my bro 7.04?? crashed with a failed dhcp? | 07:21 |
| Fr33_z3 | my resolv.conf reads this : nameserver 202.138.103.190 | 07:21 |
| Fr33_z3 | nameserver 202.138.117.60 | 07:21 |
| Fr33_z3 | i thought installing wine broke my internet because it there were a lot of unsatisfied dependenciess | 07:21 |
| Fr33_z3 | *dependenciess | 07:21 |
| jigynet | well rebuild them ? | 07:22 |
| jigynet | right? | 07:22 |
| Fr33_z3 | so i uninstalled wine completely | 07:22 |
| Fr33_z3 | i removed it | 07:22 |
| Fr33_z3 | using autoremove | 07:22 |
| Fr33_z3 | but now my internet connection is broken | 07:22 |
| jigynet | how are u here? | 07:23 |
| karla | i doubt wine is the cause | 07:23 |
| jigynet | !dhcp | 07:23 |
| ubottu | dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 07:23 |
| jigynet | yea | 07:24 |
| dijonyummy | it sucks i cant use ubuntu on my laptop because the hibernation/sleep doesn't work at all | 07:24 |
| jigynet | !why would dhcp fail? | 07:24 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 07:24 |
| jigynet | dij how why what? | 07:24 |
| Fr33_z3 | im currently accessing IRC from my Win7 | 07:24 |
| jigynet | so it's a wubi install? | 07:25 |
| dr_Willis_ | i dont really see why 'hibernation' is a Must have feature dijonyummy | 07:25 |
| Fr33_z3 | yes, on a seperate linux partition | 07:25 |
| rww | so it's not a Wubi install | 07:25 |
| Noobie645 | grub | 07:25 |
| jigynet | dij my hibernate works fine if i'm not over 1 gig in oepn programs..xubuntu 10.10 | 07:25 |
| jigynet | 64bit | 07:25 |
| Fr33_z3 | it is a Wubi install on a seperate partition | 07:25 |
| rww | ... | 07:26 |
| jigynet | Dr_Willis, so we can tell it to use swap ? | 07:26 |
| Fr33_z3 | i have no idea what I did to break the internet | 07:26 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: Maybe a silly question but is there a hardware switch for that card? Are you sure you didnt shut it off. Ive done that. | 07:26 |
| Fr33_z3 | *internet connection | 07:26 |
| jigynet | freeze what were u doing before this, have u contacted yur isp? | 07:26 |
| dr_Willis_ | if using hibernate/suspend - you do want a very large swap partition. | 07:27 |
| Fr33_z3 | no, it worked great 15 min back | 07:27 |
| jigynet | Freeaqingme, i have switches on myine | 07:27 |
| Fr33_z3 | and no, it doesn't have a switch of any sort | 07:27 |
| Fr33_z3 | it works via USB | 07:27 |
| Fr33_z3 | it's just a USB modem | 07:27 |
| karla | uhhh, well it could be a defective USB port | 07:27 |
| Fr33_z3 | well then how is it working in Win7? | 07:28 |
| jigynet | lol i've broken those be4 =/ | 07:28 |
| jigynet | ok cool | 07:28 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: oh, when you installed wine, you did it with apt-get or synaptic? | 07:28 |
| Fr33_z3 | apt-get | 07:28 |
| Fr33_z3 | apt-get install wine 1.2 | 07:28 |
| Fr33_z3 | that's what i used | 07:28 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: ok, did you do any other updated or an upgrade? | 07:28 |
| Ethelwulf | You want your swap partition to be atleast the size of installed memory to use hibernate. | 07:28 |
| Fr33_z3 | yeah, i updated apt | 07:28 |
| karla | Fr33_z3, and autoremove won't remove your wine btw | 07:29 |
| jigynet | how do i make a swap on a wubi install? | 07:29 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: what other packaged were updated | 07:29 |
| Fr33_z3 | none | 07:29 |
| Fr33_z3 | none i'm aware of, is there any log you would like to see? | 07:30 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: karla is right, to completely remove wine, do "apt-get purge wine" | 07:30 |
| Fr33_z3 | raido : is there any way I can revert my settings? | 07:31 |
| Fr33_z3 | like everything i've done today? | 07:32 |

| Fr33_z3 | oh and raido, btw, i had to update grub today | 07:36 |
| Fr33_z3 | i just got my touchpad working | 07:36 |
| Fr33_z3 | so i needed to update grub | 07:36 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: so you updated your kernel? | 07:36 |
| Fr33_z3 | i dont think that is relevant to the internet connection issue is it? | 07:36 |
| Fr33_z3 | yes i had to | 07:36 |
| Ethelwulf | I can't wait for updates to be fully automated... | 07:36 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: It is entirely possible a kernel update can mess that up, but not likely. | 07:37 |
| Fr33_z3 | 1. Edit /etc/default/grub to include GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop" | 07:37 |
| Fr33_z3 | just this one | 07:37 |
| Fr33_z3 | i dont remember issuing a complete kernel update | 07:38 |

| jigynet | is this going to work for me in 10.10? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=980833 | 07:40 |

| Fr33_z3 | i just got it working | 07:40 |
| jigynet | lul mine is uber sensitive and has no gestures xD | 07:41 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: yeah but you need to know what broke wireless, if thats not it you can put it back in. | 07:42 |
| craz^ | is there anything that can be done if a NIC i put in isnt even detected if i do lspci or is something broken? | 07:42 |

| raido | Fr33_z3: dont need it, Im pretty sure its the kernel params | 07:43 |
| Fr33_z3 | brb | 07:43 |

| ubottu | vpark: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 07:57 |
| wsbot | The tricky part wouldnt be the only player that doesn't scream desperate at all instead of being pulled in at the craft bear store. | 07:57 |
| wsbot | that's the point is to "advertise" oneself | 07:57 |
| llutz_ | vpark: sudo apt-get purge mysql-server. for the rest: you're using xampp, xampp is not running, xampp is not supported here. | 07:57 |

| jigynet | super i need it? | 08:02 |
| dr_Willis_ | !swap | 08:02 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 08:02 |

| karla | eh? | 08:12 |
| raido | Niglop: lshw will ottput all hardware identified by the BIOS | 08:12 |
| jigynet | it also uses usb as swap/pagefile.. if i had one | 08:12 |
| Niglop | raido» its not. its just outputing what i previously said | 08:12 |
| Niglop | oh wait i got it | 08:12 |
| Niglop | it just took some time | 08:13 |
| karla | the video card? seriously? | 08:13 |

| Fr33_z3 | alright raido, ill remove gufw and get back to you | 08:14 |
| Ethelwulf | that's a new one to me. I've never heard of a video card using swap space for storage. Usually it's too slow to be effective for video rendering. | 08:14 |

| raido | Fr33_z3: Its not that you installed it, or that its there, its that I suspect it made a change to ufw and that may not go away on an uninstall. | 08:16 |
| rww | rhin0: it's 10.04.2. year.month.revision | 08:16 |
| rhin0 | well it won't boot anyway | 08:16 |

| llutz_ | jigynet: i guess you're confusing some things... | 08:17 |
| jigynet | maybe | 08:17 |
| rhin0 | haven't tried a cd | 08:17 |
| natrixnatrix89 | Hey. Does anyone of you have the same problem as i did - I tried to install ubuntu 10.10 from flash but it was impossible to run it. First i tried unetbootin, then usb startup disk creator, but i just cant get it work. But i can still run ubuntu 10.04 from usb.. | 08:17 |
| rhin0 | wahts the advantage of me using 10.04.TWO? | 08:17 |
| raido | natrixnatrix89: some flash disks just dont like to be booted from. | 08:18 |
| dr_Willis_ | raido updates are included on the cd. less downloading needed | 08:18 |
| raido | rhin0: its the most current point release of 10.04 | 08:18 |
| rhin0 | going back to .04.0 | 08:18 |
| sacarlson | natrixnatrix89: my guess is you select the wrong /dev/sdX to be your mbr location | 08:19 |
| natrixnatrix89 | raido:nope. i tried 3 differend usbs, and the problem is that i can boot 10.04 from usb but 10.10 is impossible | 08:19 |
| dr_Willis_ | i wold definatly gegt a 10.04.2 cd then | 08:19 |
| rhin0 | damn | 08:19 |
| rhin0 | anyone got a blank cd? | 08:19 |
| dr_Willis_ | it will save downloadng a few 100mb of updates | 08:19 |
| rww | rhin0: 10.04.2 = 10.04 + updates. | 08:19 |
| sacarlson | natrixnatrix89: oh didn't see it was a version problem | 08:19 |
| dr_Willis_ | i always use flash drives | 08:19 |
| raido | rhin0: if you go to 10.04 the do updates you will be brought to 10.04.2 | 08:19 |
| barebone | Hello, I've just installed compiz, but cannot activate it. What can be the problem? | 08:19 |
| rhin0 | good thats gr8 will find 10.04 | 08:20 |
| Ethelwulf | I was having issues with flash drives going hinky on 10.10 as well | 08:20 |
| barebone | I need to use the show mouse plugin. | 08:20 |
| raido | dr_Willis_: Yeah, but some are crappy for booting from | 08:20 |
| dr_Willis_ | barebone - compiz is installed by default normally. whats yur video card. and you did install droivers for it? | 08:20 |
| Fr33_z3 | raido, but my port 80 isn't blocked, and im not behind any proxy :S | 08:20 |
| dr_Willis_ | raid0 i got a dozen. :) only had som eissues with OIlder flash drives.. and older pcs | 08:20 |
| Fr33_z3 | now this is starting to piss me off | 08:20 |
| omgitselmer | anyone got any idea how to make nautilus warn me when deleting files and sending them to trash? | 08:20 |
| barebone | dr_Willis_, no | 08:21 |
| barebone | How can I install? | 08:21 |
| jigynet | xD | 08:21 |
| dr_Willis_ | I thought nautilus warned by default. | 08:21 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: do you have another network interface that you can use while booted in Linux to see if you can route | 08:21 |
| dr_Willis_ | barebone whats your video card? system -> admmin -> addational drivers | 08:21 |
| _skpl | barebone: install compiz-fusion icon | 08:21 |
| omgitselmer | it doesnt when you press delete, file is immediately gone and sent to trash bin | 08:21 |
| Fr33_z3 | yeah, it's another connection | 08:21 |
| Fr33_z3 | a SLOW one.. | 08:21 |
| Ethelwulf | rhin0: go to http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download and select 10.04 CD, download and burn it. Most people don't need the DVD unless you need a specific language pack. | 08:21 |
| Fr33_z3 | should I try it? | 08:22 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: what about ethernet | 08:22 |
| _skpl | barebone: or go to your visual effects tab on the appearances dialog | 08:22 |
| Fr33_z3 | nope :-( | 08:22 |
| barebone | dr_Willis_, I have installed it once, but it caused some problem, like the logo of ubuntu in boot time disappeared. | 08:22 |
| barebone | After that I need to re-install ubuntu | 08:23 |
| Scriptorium | hi guys | 08:23 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: if another connection works, you will know its a problem only with the USB card. | 08:23 |
| dr_Willis_ | barebone - the boot plymouth issues are annoying but not critical.. you want compiz/eye candy? or a nice boot screen? | 08:23 |
| Fr33_z3 | alright raido.. ill get back to you.. | 08:23 |
| barebone | dr_Willis_, both, can't it be possible? | 08:24 |
| dr_Willis_ | I hope the plymouth/nvidia/ati/ issues get fized in the next release. | 08:24 |
| dr_Willis_ | barebone i disable plymouth.. i find it useless | 08:24 |
| dr_Willis_ | causes way to many annoyances | 08:24 |
| barebone | Besides, it breaks some fonts. | 08:24 |
| barebone | broke* | 08:24 |
| dr_Willis_ | barebone for staters.. what is your chipset/viudeo card/ | 08:25 |
| raido | Fr33_z3: good luck, im going to bed, im on the east coast, Make sure your modules for that card are loading when you plug it in, watche your /var/log/messages too to see what happens when you plug it in | 08:25 |
| barebone | dr_Willis_, ASUS EAH5450 | 08:25 |
| dr_Willis_ | thats not any video card/chipset that i recognoize.. sounds like a mothebosard to me | 08:26 |
| noobish | is there an option for the kernel to log key scan codes somewhere? | 08:27 |
| barebone | dr_Willis_, additional driver page says, the driver is tested by ubuntu developers.. | 08:28 |
| redbox | To those who use Chromium, greasemonkey does not exist? :( | 08:28 |
| barebone | but it's not okay as far as I see. :( | 08:28 |
| noobish | My super keys aren't outputting anything in xev, showkey, or dmesg | 08:28 |
| dr_Willis_ | barebone if you want the compiz effects -0 you proberly need to use the drivers.. plymouthg issues are often fixable. | 08:28 |
| dr_Willis_ | barebone what IS the driver/chipset? nvidia? ati? intel? | 08:29 |
| jasim | [test] | 08:29 |
| === anonymous is now known as Guest58199 | ||
| barebone | dr_Willis_, ATI | 08:29 |
| barebone | I'm re-installing the driver now. :S | 08:29 |
| dr_Willis_ | i would install the ati drivers then like it suggests. and check the forums for your exsact chipset and see if any tweaks/fixs are out for it. | 08:29 |
| dr_Willis_ | I dont use ati. so cant suggest anything else | 08:30 |
| Guest58199 | is there anyway to enable vsync with compiz? im getting tearing | 08:30 |

| dr_Willis_ | This is not a backrack channel brunolez they have their own channel | 08:31 |
| redbox | amh345: Bash script. | 08:32 |
| BrunoLez | okay | 08:32 |
| dr_Willis_ | brunolez i suggest using a normal ubuntu install. if you are totally new to linux | 08:32 |
| BrunoLez | Dr. Willis | 08:32 |
| amh345 | redbox: thank you | 08:32 |
| dr_Willis_ | amh345 depends on what you are really wanting to do. give examples/details :) | 08:32 |
| Guest58199 | wait is that different than compizconfig-settings-manager ? | 08:32 |
| llutz_ | amh345: theres a bash-scripting-guide, should be easy to find with google | 08:32 |
| dr_Willis_ | ccsm = easier to type | 08:33 |
| redbox | amh345: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide | 08:33 |
| BrunoLez | okay | 08:33 |
| BrunoLez | Thank you | 08:33 |
| amh345 | dr_Willis_: well, id like one script to cd me to a directory. and ither another script or the sae script execute a command | 08:33 |

| BrunoLez | Dr. willis? can you tell me how to install google talk plugin on backtract 4? | 08:33 |
| dr_Willis_ | amh345 thats trivial.. basic bash guides can show that.. | 08:33 |
| llutz_ | amh345: use cd dir/ no script needed | 08:34 |
| jigynet | lol | 08:34 |
| BrunoLez | Pls | 08:34 |
| dr_Willis_ | brunolez download the deb install it... i dont use BT. so no idea ow it differs from ubuntu | 08:34 |
| amh345 | perfect. thanks guys. ill read up on how to write them and execute them | 08:34 |
| amh345 | llutz_: wait, what? | 08:34 |

| jigynet | only text in windows | 08:36 |
| jigynet | i can't see xchat text | 08:36 |
| dr_Willis_ | gnome-terminal is a terminsl.. text in a window.... | 08:36 |
| dr_Willis_ | xchat has its own font settings | 08:37 |
| jigynet | right | 08:37 |
| jigynet | how does xubuntu make all those fonts one size? | 08:37 |
| dr_Willis_ | so clarify what you mean.. each app has its own font settngs.. | 08:37 |
| jigynet | is my install messed up? | 08:37 |
| barebone | dr_Willis_, http://i.imgur.com/5c9gI.png <-- This is what my additional driver page says. | 08:37 |
| dr_Willis_ | 'all those fonts' is vague.. i can have differnt terminals or apps with differnt sized fonts. | 08:38 |
| dr_Willis_ | i got no web browser here barebone that i can get to urls with from irc. | 08:38 |

| Jemt | Hi guys. Where did xorg.conf go? I need it to enable scrolling on my Thinkpad X31 | 08:38 |

| barebone | Oh okay. my install has finished, I'll be just back after a restart. :) | 08:39 |
| jigynet | somehow everything was made one size, i was able to resize the window text fonts but nothing else..as i can't see what the menus and such say | 08:39 |
| dr_Willis_ | barebone.. so.. as you stated earlier.. you areusing ati. | 08:39 |
| YankDownUnder | Jemt, /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?? | 08:39 |

| Jemt | YankDownUnder, Nope :) | 08:39 |
| barebone | dr_Willis_, yes. so? | 08:39 |

| RodJenson | Thank you very much :D | 09:35 |
| tobier | RodJenson: I'm not sure youy need the headers if not compiling thou | 09:35 |
| Fr33_z3 | cmol : do you have root access on the system you ssh'd into? | 09:35 |
| tobier | *if you're not | 09:36 |
| sacarlson | RodJenson: it's a good idea to install the header if you have any plan to compile custom drivers | 09:36 |
| cmol | am need mo dification my fonera2.0n (router wareless) | 09:36 |
| cmol | am have the root access, but my root access is admin, but am can't come | 09:37 |
| RodJenson | Probably won't be compiling any custom drivers, but I'll go ahead and get the headers anyway. May as well. | 09:37 |
| overrider | Assembling my raid6 using mdadm and 8 enterprise sata disks fails during resync, sde1 and sdd1 appear to be failing. Cant be...or? | 09:37 |
| tobier | RodJenson: if you check http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ there are a bunch of other kernels that may or may not be more up-to-date but still 2.6.32 | 09:37 |

| cmol | but on chenel indonesia no body on thare... | 09:37 |
| Fr33_z3 | ok | 09:37 |
| WinstonSmith | llutz, since it is the automount feature, it dinamically creates a folder with the volume name in media, which i can chmod. but when you eject the drive those folders get deleted | 09:37 |
| Fr33_z3 | you want to clear the ssh logs? | 09:38 |
| cmol | yes | 09:38 |
| llutz_ | WinstonSmith: you have to chown/chmod the filesystem _when_ its once mounted, not te unmounted mountpoint | 09:38 |
| cmol | am need like putty do | 09:38 |
| Fr33_z3 | to clear your session log, just type history -c | 09:38 |
| manjata | HELP: my ubuntu cant load instead it loads a black screen more like a command line | 09:38 |
| Fr33_z3 | then delete the bash history by typing /bin/rm /._bash_history | 09:39 |

| Adromeda | Hello everyone, I'm trying to set up a Ubuntu Server in Virtualbox under Windows 7. I want to try out XEN hypervisor. I'm doing this because I'll be purchasing a vps soon, and want to familiarize myself with it | 09:40 |

| cmol | couse putty so stable for development for fonera 2.0n | 09:40 |
| RodJenson | While I'm here, I was going to boot back into gnome, but does anybody know a Software Center alternative for Fluxbox? | 09:40 |
| RodJenson | Or would GDebi work? | 09:40 |
| Fr33_z3 | puTTy is a SSH client for Windows | 09:40 |
| WinstonSmith | llutz, sure i know. but its not the whole FS, just the root folder of it, which is mounted in a dinamically created folder which is chmod/chown - able, but is deleted everytime you eject the disk | 09:40 |
| sniffle | UBUNTU (屮ﾟहﾟ)屮 Y U NO LEAVE BANSHEE CODE ALONE | 09:40 |
| Fr33_z3 | it won't work by default on Ubuntu | 09:41 |
| ginn | what is the difference between update-grub2 and update-grub??? | 09:41 |
| WinstonSmith | i will check if the chmod persists between mounts | 09:41 |
| milamber | !grub2 | 09:41 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 09:41 |
| Adromeda | How do I use putty in windows to control a ubuntu server in a VIrtualbox VM? | 09:42 |
| manjata | Please can some one help me with my ubuntu cant load its bringing a command line | 09:42 |
| greppy | Adromeda: the easiest way would be to use bridged networking, then ssh to the IP of the ubuntu instance. | 09:43 |
| sacarlson | Adromeda: in your ubuntu host install sudo apt-get install ssh | 09:43 |
| Adromeda | got it installed | 09:43 |
| Adromeda | ssh | 09:43 |
| Adromeda | how would I find the ip of my ubuntu server instance? | 09:44 |
| llutz_ | Adromeda: if using NAT, use a reverse ssh-tunnel | 09:44 |
| llutz_ | Adromeda: "ifconfig" at your server | 09:44 |
| loasdf | How can I remote desktop my ubuntu desktop from windows? | 09:44 |
| sacarlson | Adromeda: I agree with greppy you should setup your virtuabox in bridge mode | 09:44 |
| Adromeda | loasdf - I use Teamviewer | 09:44 |
| loasdf | All I have is the console. | 09:45 |
| loasdf | :\ | 09:45 |
| manjata | people help: my ubuntu cant load instead its bringing a command line | 09:45 |
| Adromeda | try startx | 09:45 |
| loasdf | I'm connected remotely. | 09:45 |
| loasdf | I want to get to the gui. | 09:46 |
| WinstonSmith | manjata, try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 09:46 |
| milamber | !vnc | loasdf | 09:46 |
| ubottu | loasdf: 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 | 09:46 |
| RodJenson | tobier: One more thing. My architecture is apparently i686. I assume that I can also use the i386 deb, but is it that one or the "all" I should be getting? | 09:46 |
| Adromeda | greppy - What is bridge networking | 09:46 |
| manjata | WinstonSmith: what can be the cause? | 09:46 |
| greppy | Adromeda: Look in your virtualbox settings to turn on bridged networking. | 09:47 |
| sacarlson | loasdf: I don't know what is available in windows other then vnc like realvnc or other should work | 09:47 |
| Adromeda | ALright that's easy enough :) | 09:47 |
| WinstonSmith | manjata, sorry i am not a clearvoyant...could be a million things.. did it help? | 09:47 |
| tobier | RodJenson: i386 and i686 us pretty much interchangeable | 09:47 |
| manjata | WinstonSmith: i have just booted the system but seems not to pass the ubuntu sign | 09:48 |
| RodJenson | Okay, thought so. I never saw the i686 until I put the architecture in conky and it confused me. | 09:48 |
| ohsix | should i be using laptop-mode-tools on a laptop? | 09:48 |
| WinstonSmith | tobier, well nearly true. i386 is the most compatible | 09:48 |
| loasdf | :\ | 09:48 |
| RodJenson | Thanks very much, I'll sign back on here after I've got it all working | 09:48 |
| loasdf | How do I install teamviewer through console? | 09:49 |
| loasdf | :\ | 09:49 |
| tobier | WinstonSmith: yes, but I don't think it matters on a modern system :) | 09:49 |
| tobier | loasdf: sudo apt-get install teamviewer perhaps | 09:49 |
| loasdf | doesn't work. | 09:49 |
| loasdf | no package? | 09:49 |
| WinstonSmith | tobier, i686 if your system supports it is nearly always the better choice | 09:49 |
| AllRob | like teamviewer is going to be in the repos | 09:49 |
| WinstonSmith | teamviewer is closed source | 09:50 |

| BrunoLez | how do i install it now?? | 09:50 |

| BrunoLez | HELLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP | 09:51 |
| Fr33_z3 | BrunoLez : try dpkg -install <filename.deb> | 09:51 |
| FloodBot1 | BrunoLez: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:51 |
| Adromeda | greppy - I tried to enable it, but it seems I can't select another network adapter other than the virtual one | 09:51 |
| loasdf | This is from a remote connection. | 09:51 |
| AllRob | ppl installing teamviewer without X | 09:51 |
| BrunoLez | NEED to install a .deb file on backtract | 09:51 |
| AllRob | i say > good luck :) | 09:51 |
| loasdf | I haveX | 09:51 |
| loasdf | D; | 09:51 |
| oCean | BrunoLez: no backtrack support here | 09:51 |
| WinstonSmith | BrunoLez, stop shouting | 09:51 |
| AllRob | :/ | 09:52 |
| AllRob | whats ur os | 09:52 |
| WinstonSmith | BrunoLez, we can read lowercase quite well | 09:52 |
| AllRob | 32 or 64bit? | 09:52 |
| Fr33_z3 | BT is not supported on this channel | 09:52 |
| loasdf | 64 | 09:52 |
| BrunoLez | ok | 09:52 |
| BrunoLez | PLease | 09:52 |
| BrunoLez | i am desperate | 09:52 |
| BrunoLez | OS is backtrack 4 | 09:52 |
| FloodBot1 | BrunoLez: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:52 |
| AllRob | wget http://www.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux_x64.deb put that in your terminal | 09:52 |
| oCean | BrunoLez: ask in #backtrack-linux not here | 09:52 |
| pw-toxic__ | i have a raid with 16MB/s write rate | 09:52 |
| bubble_ | do i need to provide path to python compiler in linux too ? | 09:52 |
| bubble_ | do i need to provide path to python compiler in linux too ? | 09:52 |

| FloodBot1 | bubble_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:52 |
| AllRob | then 'dpkg -i teamviewer_linux_x64.deb' from the same dir | 09:52 |
| pw-toxic__ | does someone have an idea why ma raid is so slow? | 09:52 |
| AllRob | for 32bit, change the 64 to 32, same location | 09:53 |
| greppy | Adromeda: you may want to ask in #vbox for help with getting bridged networking working. | 09:53 |
| Adromeda | greppy -kk ty | 09:53 |
| sacarlson | pw-toxic__: raid in what mode? | 09:54 |
| pw-toxic__ | raid1 | 09:54 |
| pw-toxic__ | 500GB raid1 and 2TB raid1 | 09:54 |
| pw-toxic__ | both are slow | 09:54 |
| pw-toxic__ | 80-90 MB/s in read and 16-21 MB/s in write | 09:54 |
| pw-toxic__ | read is ok but write totally suxx | 09:54 |
| loasdf | Okay, AllRob. | 09:54 |
| loasdf | I did all that. | 09:54 |
| loasdf | wat do now? | 09:55 |
| loasdf | :P | 09:55 |
| pw-toxic__ | sacarlson, i can write to my raid5 with > 80 MB/s | 09:55 |
| |MA| | Hi | 09:55 |
| |MA| | with 10.04 I am finding it hard to setup udev rules for DVB | 09:55 |
| |MA| | I tried following this: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/dvb/udev.txt | 09:55 |
| |MA| | but still everything is dvb0.adapter0 etc | 09:55 |
| |MA| | any ideas why dvb/adapter0 is not created ? | 09:56 |
| AllRob | then you got it installed | 09:56 |
| sacarlson | pw-toxic__: so what is ma raid? raid mode 1? | 09:56 |
| adromeda | I don't need to set up putty at the moment | 09:56 |
| AllRob | if you got no errors that is | 09:56 |
| oCean | !who | AllRob | 09:56 |
| ubottu | AllRob: 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 :) | 09:56 |
| AllRob | yah srry | 09:56 |
| loasdf | There were. | 09:56 |
| adromeda | In Ubuntu Server 10.10, how do I install XEN? | 09:56 |
| pw-toxic__ | sacarlson, as i said.. i have a raid1 | 09:56 |
| AllRob | @loasdf | 09:56 |
| pw-toxic__ | sacarlson, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10496513#post10496513 here you can read more | 09:57 |
| |MA| | can somebody help please ? | 09:57 |
| oCean | adromeda: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 09:57 |
| sacarlson | pw-toxic__: well you share the same data path to two disks and you miror the data so it could go almost 1/2 as fast as without raid | 09:57 |
| AllRob | @ubottu 'get lost' so that's how the community handles ppl that are helping four people at ones these days ubottu? nice language, lets call this channel a day :) trashing it? yes you are. | 09:58 |
| pw-toxic__ | sacarlson, and still the write rates of my 2TB drives as a single device are about 100 MB/s | 09:58 |
| sxid000 | Can anyone help me with the basic thing of a GRUB. i.e., | 09:58 |
| pw-toxic__ | sacarlson, so even if the write rate would be half, it is still up to 50 MB/s and not 16 MB/s | 09:58 |
| sxid000 | I am having a dual boot, windows and red-hat, by default, redhat is selected, I want windows to be selected by default? | 09:59 |
| pw-toxic__ | sacarlson, and by the way.. you can write in parallel to the raid1 | 09:59 |
| |MA| | can somebody help please ? | 09:59 |
| Eduard | Hello guys | 09:59 |
| sacarlson | pw-toxic__: well must have some overhead I'm not sure | 09:59 |
| Eduard | Does anybody know which system configuration file contains "vm.swappiness" parameter ? | 09:59 |
| oCean | |MA|: try to describe your issue in one single line (not over multiple lines) then have patience. No need to repeat within 10 minutes. | 10:00 |
| oCean | Eduard: /etc/sysctl.conf | 10:00 |
| |MA| | oCean: I am trying to set udev rules for DVB | 10:00 |
| oCean | |MA|: yes I read that before | 10:00 |
| |MA| | oCean: still I get dvb0.adapter0 etc | 10:00 |
| WinstonSmith | Eduard, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=vm.swappiness+ubuntu | 10:01 |
| |MA| | oCean: and not dvb/adapter0 | 10:01 |
| oCean | |MA|: as I said, rewrite your issue in *one single line* and write it to the channel, not to me | 10:01 |
| Eduard | oCean it's empty, i mean no vm.swapiness parameter | 10:01 |
| Gwar_Trolle | Hey guys, does anyone know somewhere (preferably free? :P) i could host a Supybot do It doesn't go offline if I do? | 10:01 |
| Eduard | woops, found it already. Thanks for help | 10:02 |
| oCean | Eduard: not all the parameters are mentioned there. It's just to override. So you can enter is there. Use "sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf" to re-read the file | 10:02 |
| sxid000 | I am having a dual boot, windows and red-hat, by default, redhat is selected, I want windows to be selected by default? its grub legacy, anyone please help? | 10:02 |
| |MA| | can somebody help in setting up udev rules for DVB, I followed http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/dvb/udev.txt, but did not work. Can someone help, please ? | 10:02 |
| Oer | Gwar_Trolle, hosting is not an ubuntu issue, join #Ubuntu-offtopic for that | 10:02 |
| veovis_muaddib | Does the hosts file on ubuntu get used by virtual machine guests as well? I'm running virtualbox | 10:02 |
| grajesh | does anybody know gwibber package that does updating even in non-en_US locale? | 10:02 |
| scorpio | echo hfjs | 10:02 |
| grajesh | there is a bug, which prevents gwibber from updating timelines | 10:03 |
| greppy | veovis_muaddib: a guest won't see the hosts /etc/hosts file | 10:03 |
| veovis_muaddib | greppy: yeah | 10:03 |
| sacarlson | pw-toxic__: if you have two ide or sata ports maybe try put your raid pair on different ports | 10:03 |
| pw-toxic__ | sacarlson, it is | 10:03 |
| Jordan_U | sxid000: This is #ubuntu, for Ubuntu support. For Red Hat support try #rhel. | 10:04 |
| veovis_muaddib | greppy: Yeah, they can't see the file, but will guest outbound connections be routed through the hosts' /etc/hosts file or is it ignored. | 10:04 |
| greppy | veovis_muaddib: /etc/hosts has nothing to do with routing. | 10:04 |
| Oer | |MA|, did you make the script executable ? | 10:05 |
| greppy | veovis_muaddib: are you using bridged networking? | 10:05 |
| veovis_muaddib | greppy: I'm sorry I'm using the wrong terms, but I believe you know what I mean | 10:05 |
| sxid000 | Jordan_U: the issue is with GRUB, not with OS, If I had lied, with windows and Ubuntu then? | 10:05 |
| |MA| | Oer: I did chmod a+x | 10:05 |
| veovis_muaddib | greppy: Checking | 10:05 |
| fred34563 | anyone know how to add a city that is not in not listed in the menu to get weather (for the clock/calender/weather) ty | 10:05 |
| pw-toxic__ | sacarlson, and by the way.. reading is very fast.. the only problem is writing | 10:05 |
| veovis_muaddib | greppy: It's NAT right now, would bridge accomplish this? | 10:06 |
| greppy | veovis_muaddib: actually, it doesn't matter, the guest is it's own operating system, it won't care what is in /etc/hosts or what the dns servers are. Think of it like having a totally seperate computer. | 10:06 |
| veovis_muaddib | greppy: crap | 10:06 |
| veovis_muaddib | greppy: I don't want to set up a DNS just to change one site | 10:06 |
| veovis_muaddib | greppy: Oh well, thanks! | 10:06 |
| greppy | veovis_muaddib: so edit /etc/hosts in the gues. | 10:06 |
| Jordan_U | sxid000: Ubuntu uses grub2, and I don't recommend lying. Nor do I recommend continuing to ask for Red Hat support here in #ubuntu. RHEL handled grub legacy differently than Ubuntu did even when they both used legacy. | 10:06 |
| Xanadrel_ | fuck xchat | 10:07 |
| cdawe | hey guys | 10:07 |
| sxid000 | Jordan_U: Thank you. | 10:07 |
| sacarlson | pw-toxic__: I'm not too sure about your test method using network transfer to test disk speed | 10:07 |
| veovis_muaddib | greppy: I'm restoring an iPhone to an older version, and you're not "allowed" to do that with your device. So they have a signature server. Someone cloned that server, and then Apple caught on and won't let you restore if you've fiddled with the hosts file | 10:07 |
| WinstonSmith | pw-toxic__, i would consider askin in $ubuntu-server | 10:07 |
| veovis_muaddib | greppy: In short, I can't | 10:07 |
| pw-toxic__ | WinstonSmith, looks like this will cost me a lot of time | 10:08 |
| cdawe | where is the best channel to go to talk to someone about a problem with the Ubuntu Software Center? | 10:08 |
| WinstonSmith | pw-toxic__, maybe not. could be a mount parameter | 10:08 |
| adromeda | While trying to install XEN, it ends up failing. I'm having trouble installing this pack though libc6-dev-i386 | 10:09 |

| pw-toxic__ | WinstonSmith, i have done this with palimpsest | 10:09 |
| pw-toxic__ | you know this tool? | 10:10 |

| cuuntzor | hi, is there any working usb modem connection bandwidth monitor ? vnstat can't grab more than network ethx | 10:10 |
| adromeda | adil - you need to mount either the drive with windows xp, or the image file of windows xp | 10:10 |
| pw-toxic__ | WinstonSmith, i couldnt choose something like this | 10:11 |
| adil | adromeda: sorry, How do I ? | 10:11 |
| adromeda | adil: Have you already installed Windows XP in Virtualbox? is this what you meant? | 10:12 |
| |MA| | Oer: any other thoughts ? | 10:12 |
| adil | adromeda: I installed XP. ok? also I want install visual studio on xp (with cd) | 10:13 |
| sagaci | adil, this is an ubuntu channel, you might have better luck asking in #windows | 10:14 |
| adromeda | adil: Oh! I see, you want to mount a disc onto your XP instance, This can be done by going to Devices > CD/DVD Drives > Then selecting the drive with the software | 10:14 |
| sacarlson | pw-toxic__: are you running a desktop on it? if so what does the System>administaratio>disk utility> benchmark give you? | 10:15 |

| pw-toxic__ | i can only do read tests | 10:16 |
| adromeda | When I follow THIS: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen#Maverick Notes (Xen 4.0.1 pvops on Ubuntu 10.10) It fails at the "make world" part, any suggestions why? | 10:18 |
| adil | adromeda: sacarlson very thanks | 10:18 |

| alisalaah | Ubuntu 10.10 - I have a laptop with 2 DisplayLink adapters to Monitors, I am currently using both DisplayLinks now, working, but the laptop Screen is blank! I have been playing with xorg.conf for about 30 minutes | 10:22 |
| alisalaah | anyone can help with xorg.conf, and getting my laptop display back | 10:22 |
| === michael is now known as Guest22450 | ||
| coraxx | alisalaah: yes...just delete it | 10:22 |
| |MA| | can't believe applications segfault, that which comes on the default CD install | 10:22 |
| coraxx | alisalaah: ....the default settings comes in to place | 10:23 |
| alisalaah | coraxx, then i lose my 2x24" monitors and have only my laptop. i would prefer a real answer | 10:23 |
| alisalaah | i didnt come here after screwing with xorg.comf all night for sarcasm | 10:23 |
| alisalaah | ty | 10:23 |
| coraxx | alisalaah: it was not sarcasm at all. After I've spent much time with xorg.conf myself ... I found out that if I loose a vital monitor during my setup ...I delete the xorg.conf (or rename it so I preserve some of the configuration) | 10:25 |
| blackshirt | hello, anyone here familiar with samba4 | 10:25 |
| alisalaah | yes but i can get just laptop screen, or just display links | 10:25 |
| alisalaah | i had all 3 but the alignment was wrong "righof vs leftof" | 10:25 |
| alisalaah | rebooted with only chnaging that | 10:25 |
| alisalaah | and it was broke after that | 10:25 |
| coraxx | alisalaah: then I sometime use the vendor linux driver to make the config changes in the xorg.conf file | 10:26 |
| alisalaah | but then i found out 5 mins later than my displaylinks were getting different /devf/fb0 vs fb1 vs fb2 etc | 10:26 |
| alisalaah | i started with that | 10:26 |
| alisalaah | then read 2 blogs on people who got it working | 10:26 |
| alisalaah | and i just cant seem to get all 3 up at once | 10:26 |
| alisalaah | and as said one time i did i had to reboot and it went away | 10:27 |
| coraxx | alisalaah: sry, can't help | 10:27 |
| alisalaah | ok np | 10:27 |
| cuuntzor | hi, is there any working usb modem connection bandwidth monitor ? vnstat can't grab more than network ethx | 10:28 |
| coraxx | blackshirt: I am a little bit ...what the issue (I'm sure there are many to pick from as its still in alpha-stage ;-) ) | 10:28 |
| coraxx | blackshirt: *what's | 10:29 |
| blackshirt | i want to setup samba4 | 10:30 |
| coraxx | cuuntzor: the regular monitor in Gnome where you can monitor network connections is ok ...you just add your interface ( ppp0) and you should be able to monitor | 10:30 |
| cuuntzor | coraxx, the gnome monitor can't monitor monthly bandwidth | 10:31 |
| cuuntzor | after restart it resets | 10:31 |
| coraxx | blackshirt: ah ok ... that is a bigger process than a simple chat can cover :-) | 10:31 |
| coraxx | cuuntzor: ah ok, I see ... so its more like a reporting tool ... than a monitor... give me a sec. | 10:32 |
| cuuntzor | yes | 10:32 |
| blackshirt | coraxx: i have try it.but still has an error | 10:32 |
| oCean | blackshirt: bettter ask in #samba. Since smb 4 is alpha, and not in the ubuntu repositories | 10:32 |
| blackshirt | oCean: yess..but on universe repo | 10:33 |

| oCean | blackshirt: what about universe? | 10:34 |
| irenicus09 | hi can anyone help me? | 10:35 |
| blackshirt | oCean: there are samba4 on ubuntu repository | 10:35 |
| bazhang | irenicus09, ask a question | 10:35 |
| irenicus09 | pls this is important | 10:35 |
| oCean | !ask | irenicus09 | 10:35 |
| ubottu | irenicus09: 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. :-) | 10:35 |
| irenicus09 | I think I have a backdoor on my ubuntu | 10:35 |
| oCean | blackshirt: oh, I see | 10:35 |
| irenicus09 | wait a min I give links | 10:35 |
| bazhang | irenicus09, what makes you think that | 10:35 |
| cuuntzor | coraxx, thanks for looking into this, i might of figured it out, you said ppp0. now that interface isn't listed in vnstat - and the modem is disconnected now, i thought it was my other pppoe connection | 10:36 |
| oCean | blackshirt: do you have trouble installing or running/configuring? The folks in #samba might help you out? | 10:37 |
| irenicus09 | http://i.min.us/ilPrfW.png | 10:37 |
| egolost | I am doing a switch from centOS to ubuntu server. I wish to create a new volume on my lvm with the installer but don't understand howto.. I guess "Configure the Logical Volume Manager" will destroy the current lvm on the raid? | 10:37 |
| irenicus09 | the link above | 10:37 |
| coraxx | cuuntzor: From what I can see there are a lot of monitors .... those with accumulative features are usually text-based (run in terminal) not very nice ones. I'm gonna give you a link just so you have somewhere to start --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html maybe one of them can report accumulative. | 10:37 |
| blackshirt | oCean: i have trouble on provision setup... ok i will try that | 10:37 |
| cuuntzor | thanks coraxx | 10:37 |

| === g3orge|away is now known as g3orge | ||

| irenicus09 | bazhang: would you recommend that I do a clean install? Btw, I'm running mint 10. | 10:54 |
| bazhang | !patch | morgan | 10:54 |
| ubottu | morgan: Patches are files describing the changes in code to achieve some results. There are a number of ways these can be produced, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems may provide some useful guidelines. | 10:54 |
| bazhang | irenicus09, a clean install of Ubuntu , a s Mint is not supported here. otherwise go to mintsupport | 10:55 |
| irenicus09 | bazhang: okay | 10:55 |
| bazhang | !mintsupport > irenicus09 | 10:55 |
| ubottu | irenicus09, please see my private message | 10:55 |
| coraxx | irenicus09 , bazhang it looks to me that some software has open a port (TCP/IP) for listning .. port 20034 is an application port ...but usually used for backdoor virusses ...WhackJob and Netbus usually use that one ...however it might not be them at all. | 10:56 |
| bazhang | coraxx, who knows with Mint as that is a non-supported derivate | 10:56 |
| coraxx | bazhang: oh he's using mint ...thought he was using Ubuntu | 10:56 |

| newlinux | coraxx: bazhang : E: Unable to locate package aptoncd | 10:59 |
| coraxx | newlinux: try Synaptic Package Manager .... and push "Reload" before you start installing | 11:00 |
| bazhang | newlinux, what version of ubuntu , be sure that the repo is enabled in synaptic | 11:00 |
| livingdaylight | hi | 11:02 |

| livingdaylight | coraxx, if I need to change my fan do I just take the broken fan to a shop, or do I also need to know the motherboard details? | 11:02 |
| bazhang | livingdaylight, try ##hardware | 11:02 |
| stefwal | livingdaylight, you can bring the fan | 11:03 |
| livingdaylight | stefwal, thx | 11:03 |
| stefwal | livingdaylight: if you know your processor that's even better | 11:03 |

| omgitselmer | @coraxx yep i read it last night that they wont fix it, maybe there is a coding guru here who has made a workaround :) | 11:22 |

| oCean | cutiyar: seems correct. Is there /etc/phpmyadmin directory? This should contain an apache.conf file | 12:06 |
| cutiyar | oCean, yes | 12:06 |
| oCean | cutiyar: so if the apache.conf is in /etc/phpmyadmin, then you should try link this: sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf | 12:08 |
| cutiyar | oCean, yes i did | 12:08 |
| oCean | cutiyar: this command: grep -i alias /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf should return the location(alias) for phpmyadmin | 12:09 |

| red | (Or separate X screens that works well, but can't drag windows from display to display) | 12:21 |
| skilly | @cagriemer I'll check | 12:21 |
| red | Could this be since I have separate GFX Cards for both displays? | 12:21 |
| red | Windows handles it without problems at least, but I spend more time in Ubuntu, so would be nice to get it working correctly :/ | 12:22 |
| cutiyar | oCean, how like a #Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf ? | 12:22 |
| oCean | cutiyar: yes. Or, remove that line completely | 12:22 |
| oCean | cutiyar: after that, try reloading apache2 service | 12:22 |

| oCean | cutiyar: there are several ways to include a configuration file. I don't know what wiki, but adding that line to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf might also have done the trick. In your case you added the line in the file itself (hence the recursion..) | 12:27 |
| e7500 | the winedb shows red alert plays fine with wine | 12:27 |
| cutiyar | oCean, thank u very much ,before this way was worked but now didnt i think because of update and somethin like this this old way not worked | 12:28 |

| oCean | cutiyar: you're welcome | 12:28 |
| skilly | @cagriemer can't find a readme file. I expect it's a variable in the source code. I don't want to experiment too much in terms of trying to edit source code - I'm hoping someone has had this problem and knows exactly what to do ... | 12:28 |
| e7500 | but it seems like its more of a ubuntu problem because ubuntu wont display any of the contents of a iso | 12:29 |
| bazhang | e7500, not really. #winehq is where you ask for specific app support | 12:29 |

| MeanEYE | dissolution, A common misconception about 64bit hardware: Having 64bit hardware/cpu does NOT mean you have VT-X/AMD-V as well, in other words: yes you can run a 64bit OS on 64bit hardware as a HOST, but a 64bit GUEST NEEDS VT-X/AMD-V to be active and enabled. | 12:36 |
| skilly | cagriemer: yes, there's an installer.sh file | 12:36 |
| MeanEYE | dissolution, take a look at http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=8669 | 12:36 |

| alberto | Fuchs That's the output | 12:39 |
| sniffle | if you want it, write it | 12:39 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, you can't live without Internet Download Manager??? | 12:39 |
| gartral | raisin123: IDM? will it work in wine? | 12:39 |
| bazhang | sniffle, thats not helpful | 12:39 |
| sagaci | OK, so I have a CD with a .exe on it and I try and open it via Wine but then it says it needs to be executable but when I go to set it as executable, it's a read only filesystem (obviously), how to workout this? | 12:39 |
| SixtyFold | that was constructive sniffle haha | 12:39 |
| dissolution | MeanEYE: dissolution, np... :) ... I've never tried using 64os on i386 structure // hehe got a i7 intecpu x64 | 12:40 |
| sniffle | bazhang: yes it is. i'm offering online pragmatism pills, he'll thank me later | 12:40 |
| raisin123 | No IDM even if you install with wine, the mozilla integration is not there. And it's not just any internet download manager, it | 12:40 |
| jaapvisser | bazhang KeePassX looks decent.... going to testdrive it for a while | 12:40 |
| raisin123 | it is IDM | 12:40 |
| gartral | sagaci: pull the exe from the cd.. | 12:40 |
| bazhang | sniffle, wrong channel for that. | 12:40 |
| Fuchs | alberto: that is not the whole output | 12:40 |
| raisin123 | please tell me how to get it done. | 12:40 |
| Fuchs | alberto: the most interesting thing, the access rights, are missing | 12:40 |
| TLF | hello | 12:40 |
| MeanEYE | dissolution, that should be powerful enough... do you have the option turned on? | 12:40 |
| alberto | Fuchs Sorry, this is the whole output---> ---------- 1 alberto alberto 13582901 2011-02-26 12:36 AbanQ-2.3.0.20208-Linux-x86_64-Install | 12:41 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: if you could tell me a better option then IDM , then I am listening. | 12:41 |
| alberto | Fuchs I changed the rights because it didn't work, so I tried changing them. | 12:41 |
| Fuchs | alberto: as you can see you have absolutely no rights on this file. Right click on it, properties, make it rwx (read, write, execute) at least for you | 12:41 |
| TLF | I changed my locales, and I cannot get xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update to ask me to change the folder's name in $HOME?? | 12:41 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, did you try http://www.downthemall.net/ ? | 12:41 |
| TLF | it's there something wrong here??? | 12:41 |
| dissolution | yeah i do... even check if the thing was enabled in bios ||| the thing is i have got it to run with ubuntu 10.4 x64 running win 7 x64 | 12:41 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, something like IDM but exists for all operating systems | 12:41 |
| Fuchs | alberto: or use chmod 0755 on it | 12:41 |
| Fuchs | anyway, time for food. Good luck. | 12:42 |
| sagaci | gartral, yes but then it doesn't work since it links with the rest of the cd | 12:42 |
| MeanEYE | dissolution, then my guess is you need x64 host to run x64 guest... but am not that experienced | 12:42 |
| dissolution | MeanEYE: yeah that was what i was thinking why i asked the ? here.. .but might not have come out right my ? that is | 12:42 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: I have tried that extension. It's not as good as IDM. IDM gives me a download button on right top of any flash video and I mean ANY... Plus Most of the downloads are resumable. And there is queing optiontoo. | 12:43 |
| oCean | MeanEYE: dissolution I don't think it is required to have a x64 host to run x64 guest. I thought vt-x/amd-v was all it took | 12:43 |
| MeanEYE | oCean, dissolution: I have no clue to be honest. Never tried stuff like that. :) | 12:44 |
| alberto | Fuchs Ok, I solved it, there was a space at the end of the name I wasn't counting on. | 12:44 |
| alberto | Fuchs Thanks very much for your help. | 12:44 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, hm... so basically you need a flash downloader? | 12:44 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: Not just a flash downloader, a resumable flash downloader. And Quesing option too, since I am not at my compmost of the times | 12:45 |
| alberto | Fuchs Is it normal that the programme wants to install in /opt/? | 12:45 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: queing* | 12:45 |
| dissolution | MeanEYE: oCean: could it be that my iso is damage... | 12:45 |
| MeanEYE | dissolution, oh wait, win7 is reporting that you don't have 64bit processor? | 12:46 |
| dissolution | MeanEYE: i'll post the errror... to sec | 12:46 |
| sagaci | disappearedng, paste it | 12:46 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, sorry then... am not using that kind of stuff... try asking again, someone might know | 12:46 |
| alberto | Thank you again. :) | 12:46 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: I have already tried a lotofoptions. Could you just tell me how to dual boot a40 gb internal HD with 15 gn windows and rest ubuntu. Also, Windows files should be acessible from ubuntu. thanks :) | 12:47 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: gb* | 12:47 |
| oCean | dissolution: I don't really think so, the "cpu cant handle x64" is quite clear. There was this test.iso to check whether your guest was able to run x64 | 12:47 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, do you have both of them installed already? | 12:48 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: I have just ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 12:48 |

| dissolution | MeanEYE: Attempting to lad a 64-bit application , however this cpu is not compatible with 64-bit mode. its trying to install from a iso and the file is \\boo\winload.exe with an error of 0xc000035a | 12:49 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: No man. I just have a 40 GB HD with one file system on it. | 12:49 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: Also a swap partition. 2 partitions total. | 12:49 |
| MeanEYE | dissolution, it's easy to check, download some 64bit linux image and try booting that... :) | 12:49 |

| MeanEYE | raisin123, ok, so you need to make space for your windows... although... you could install windows in virtual machine... what kind of computer you have? | 12:50 |

| mix22891 | i don't know | 12:53 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, hm, not sure if you could run virtual machine there... | 12:53 |
| skilly | cagriemer: there's a hell of a lot of vmware files on my machine in different locations, so it's difficult to tell for sure but it doesn't look like there is an INSTALL or install text file. I installed vmware-workstaton from a .bundle, so I'm assuming it's a set of binary files. I also guess that the LINUX_VERSION variable comes from the linux kernel source files, which I suspect means that the ubuntu kernel source contains something dif | 12:53 |

| mix22891 | <MeanEYE> dsn't help | 12:55 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, sure... my suggestion is to use virtual machine at first. It's just one application and if it doesn't work all you need to do is uninstall it | 12:56 |
| MeanEYE | mix22891, how do you knoe there are x items in there? | 12:56 |

| dissolution | oCean: made a new install because i had random log outs... with 10.4 and allso with the upgrade of 10.10 (x64 ubuntu) some forum sad it was wise to use i386 | 12:59 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: whicever would be fastest and eats least space. | 12:59 |
| Koots | any av's | 12:59 |
| Koots | for ubuntu? | 12:59 |
| Koots | like for windows | 12:59 |

| MeanEYE | raisin123, you need to create a virtual machine. there's an easy step by step wizard. then you install your windows in that virtual machine | 13:02 |
| MeanEYE | mix22891, can you check if there's /home/.Trash-root folder? | 13:02 |

| MeanEYE | raisin123, sorry, I usually stick here until I manage to solve someones problem... but :/ can't do it now | 13:08 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: It's ok man. People here are always helpful. Not myfirst time here. :P Thanks again. :) | 13:09 |
| mix22891 | impotent files | 13:09 |
| MeanEYE | mix22891, let me try and find your trash files ;) | 13:09 |
| mix22891 | how | 13:09 |
| MeanEYE | :) by looking at my os :P | 13:10 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: Could you just tell me the difference between ext2,3,4 and NTFS and FAT? | 13:10 |
| DhaniJeremy | how do i add backtrack 4 in my grub menu list? | 13:10 |
| plasmab | who the fsck thought it wasa good idea to get ubuntu server to sit wait for user input if it couldnt mount one of the disks in fstab? whoever it was please step outside because i'm going to beat the living crap out of you | 13:10 |
| Jonii^ | Bwah, neither dragging nor right-clicking work almost anywhere. Annoying | 13:11 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, hard to name them all... basically they are methods of organizing files on disk... FAT is quite old and supports up to 32GB, NTFS and EXT4 should be used. NTFS is microsoft format while ext is linux | 13:11 |
| MeanEYE | Jonii^, could it be you are trying unity :D | 13:11 |
| SwedeMike | raisin123: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems | 13:11 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: And does linux read NTFS or windows read EXT? | 13:11 |
| erUSUL | plasmab: see « man mount » there is an option you can add to not wait. admin fault if you ask me :) | 13:11 |
| MeanEYE | SwedeMike, thanks! | 13:11 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, linux reads most... microsoft only its own | 13:12 |
| plasmab | erUSUL, the behaviour changes between 9 and 10. | 13:12 |
| papo | hello. How do I change the resolution at which plymouth runs on maverick (intel 82865G)? | 13:12 |
| plasmab | servers should *never* require interaction | 13:12 |
| SwedeMike | MeanEYE: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 13:12 |
| Jonii^ | MeanEYE, what's unity? | 13:12 |
| erUSUL | plasmab: the option is "nofail" iirc | 13:13 |
| MeanEYE | SwedeMike, natively :)... he is not experienced user | 13:13 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: Cool, then I will format the whole thing, make a Windows install, then install linux. All in NTFS. Since , linux can read all, not a problem. Right? | 13:13 |
| MeanEYE | Jonii^, new shell for ubuntu... that will be default with 11.04 | 13:13 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, don't do that... make one parititon for windows NTFS and let linux make it's own | 13:13 |
| dissolution | Mmm will try my luck again to day :) any one know of a bug or something to do with random log outs in ubuntu 10.4 and 10.10 mostly happends with browsing at least more frequent then... | 13:13 |
| DhaniJeremy | i need to add backtrack 4 in grub menu, when i re-installed ubuntu on sda3, i lost backtrack on sda8 | 13:14 |
| plasmab | erESUL, must be a new addition to mount then. | 13:14 |
| raisin123 | MeanEYE: Ok, Iwill giveit a try. Heck, I will learn something. Thanks again. Final tata. Bye. :) | 13:14 |
| MeanEYE | mix22891, ~/.local/share/Trash and system trash is located in /root/.local/share/Trash | 13:14 |
| Jonii^ | MeanEYE, nope. I'm just trying to get used to Ubuntu, and I'm shocked by how difficult it's manipulate anything using graphical UI | 13:14 |
| gaire | !ciao | 13:14 |
| MeanEYE | raisin123, sure... :) if you run in some problems we are here | 13:14 |
| erUSUL | plasmab: could be a change in mountall from upstart | 13:14 |
| gaire | \list | 13:15 |
| MeanEYE | Jonii^, hm... well, ask. Some things are different. Linux is usually easier to use. | 13:15 |
| erUSUL | plasmab: file a bug report for the behavior change | 13:15 |
| plasmab | erUSUL, i'd rather have satisfaction. | 13:15 |
| erUSUL | !upstart | 13:15 |
| mix22891 | <MeanEYE> ok | 13:15 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 13:15 |
| * plasmab throws down the glove | 13:15 | |
| Jonii^ | Like, many of the things that you'd do in Windows by drag/drop or right-clicking and selecting appropriate action seem to require text-file editing or something like that in Ubuntu | 13:16 |
| dissolution | cant be only me that have asked this is it taken from google search "[ubuntu] Random logouts - Ubuntu Forums - 10 innlegg - 16. nov 2010" | 13:16 |

| ruan | do an update? | 13:51 |
| DocOC | zeroadam, is it possible that you have gotten some update in update manager which requires a reboot, and you have not rebooted yet? | 13:51 |
| irong33k | iceroot: o.k lemme give it a try... | 13:52 |
| irong33k | bazhang: i want to create an iso file from ubuntu files...i dont have an iso, and i dont want to download one... | 13:52 |
| ZeroAdam | DocOC: not on the laptop in question, i have restarted just to see if that was the issue already | 13:52 |
| iceroot | irong33k: and with ubuntu-files you mean a real cd? | 13:52 |
| MagicJ | I have two machines which are intended to be very similar, almost identical, in a public location. I want ti allow firefox but initiate ot from a batch file. On one machine when I enter 'firefox" it somehow daemonizes since I get the prompt back and firefox runs. On the other the batch file pauses there until firefox is done. This second action is what I need. sum and whereis tell me... | 13:53 |
| MagicJ | ...that I am running the same /usr/bin/firefox and both are 10.4 - what is different here | 13:53 |
| iceroot | irong33k: or do you want a bootable copy of your harddrive in an image-file? | 13:53 |
| DocOC | zeroadam, do a dpkg -l winbind, what are the first two letters in the entry? | 13:53 |
| MeanEYE | MagicJ, adding & at the end of the command will start process in background and return to prompt... | 13:54 |
| BluesKaj | irong33k, why an iso file , just copy the files to a cd or usb stick | 13:54 |
| ZeroAdam | DocOC: no packages found maching winbind | 13:54 |
| irong33k | iceroot: no i have bootable ubuntu cd: thats why i want to make an iso | 13:54 |
| irong33k | iceroot: because i dont want the trouble of starting to download another iso... | 13:54 |
| === g3orge|away is now known as g3orge | ||
| MagicJ | MeanEYE - yes - but note the question: 1) that is NOT what I want and also this is not how it os happening since there is no process associated with my shell once fiorefox has started on the machine where I get the prompt back | 13:55 |
| bazhang | irong33k, use something like ogmrip to rip it to iso then | 13:55 |
| irong33k | iceroot: the thing is i want to install ubuntu on dell inspiron mini and it doesnt have a cd drive the only way is to install through usb..and i dont have an iso ...you get where am driving at | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | irong33k, trouble ? | 13:55 |
| DocOC | irong33k, making an iso of your hard-drive is not going to result in you having an install cd | 13:56 |

| stefg | craz^: ah..... so my advice would be to use a specialized router distro or something like ebox/zentyal and introduce vlans.... your setup isn't unusual for business environments, but i'd get ridof the NAS....Linux servers can do that better | 14:48 |

| eager_geek | my question: how do i enable led blink in acer aspire one, ubuntu 10.4 | 16:23 |
| gaelfx | sam_02: I usually just do a 30gb '/' and the rest '/home' | 16:23 |
| ThomasB2k | Ampelbein: I just Firefox 4.0 as the default in update-alternatives and did gnome-open but it still uses chrome. Yes, I used the ppa | 16:23 |
| soreau | The only thing keyrings are good for is to piss you off | 16:23 |
| stefg | sam_02: are you setting up a server with a specific workload? Otherwise i would say : Completely over the top... | 16:23 |
| uRock | and they keep your system secure | 16:23 |
| sam_02 | gaelfx: nope. nothing specific. just read that individual partitions would be easy to manage and backup :). i usually do the same in a dual boot set up but now since am doing only a linux install i wanted to know ;) | 16:24 |
| terry | !apt-p2p | gaelfx | 16:24 |
| Assid | id give 100 gigs for / and the rest for /home | 16:24 |
| Assid | enough for anything i throw at it | 16:24 |
| znejk | hello, im having trouble connecting my android phone in ubuntu | 16:25 |
| gaelfx | nope, ubottu doesn't know about it. but it's kinda handy when you don't have such a great location for downloading updates (ahem, china) | 16:25 |
| znejk | it wont show up and i dont know why, im using 10.10... is there any special driver u have to install for using it? | 16:25 |
| uRock | Assid, 100 gigs for / is a waste | 16:25 |
| terry | znejk: install file expert | 16:25 |
| stefg | sam_02: you will fragment the free space and cause unnecessary head movements of the hd, because files are spreadoverthe disk separated by partition boundaries | 16:25 |
| terry | znejk: On the android. | 16:25 |
| sam_02 | so guys do i use the / partition as primary and /home as a extended partition? | 16:25 |
| Assid | uRock, i know.. but ijust wanna makew sure eveyrhting is covered | 16:25 |
| znejk | terry, ok | 16:25 |
| uRock | Assid, 10-12 gigs for / is more practical | 16:25 |
| Ampelbein | ThomasB2k: ok. you have a weird system. try gconf-editor and look at the keys http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/572696/ | 16:26 |
| gaelfx | sam_02: the thing is, with a basic install, / usually doesn;'t need more than 10gb really, so give it at least double that and then keep the rest for /home, so that if you have to reinstall, you have all your preferences and files still intact | 16:26 |
| dumbnuts | hello | 16:26 |
| dumbnuts | ok | 16:26 |

| GaMeBoY | Anyone have any tips for my netbook LiveUSB performance question? | 16:26 |
| Ampelbein | ThomasB2k: what changed? | 16:27 |
| stefg | sam_02: i usually have 0,5-1 GB /boot (and put some rescue-CD image on it) , 10-20 GB for / , restfor/home | 16:27 |
| ThomasB2k | Ampelbein: nothing :/ | 16:27 |
| uRock | GaMeBoY, what question? | 16:27 |
| gaelfx | sam_02: any partitioning beyond that is really only something you would do if you're worried about setting up a lot of things again (like on a server) | 16:27 |
| znejk | terry, how will i then get ubuntu to recognize it? and import photos to shotwell? | 16:27 |
| gaelfx | stefg: ah, I like the idea of boot with recovery image, I might have to use that next time | 16:28 |
| dumbnuts | can anyone please help me. I have ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my comp. I wanted to convert my comp tu a dual boot. So tried to install windows xp. I put int he xp cd to install that first but alas! the laptop doesn't detect it and ubuntu reboots again. Is there any pendrive solution for this? | 16:28 |
| sam_02 | oh ok gaelfx and stefg. :) about the primary and extended partitions any specific instructions ? | 16:28 |

| GaMeBoY | uRock: I bought an ASUS Eee PC T101MT recently and am trying an Ubunutu Netbook Edition LiveUSB on it, but it is performing pretty badly. Things take a while to load and Muteer crashed a few times in a previous session. Is this indicative of how my system will handle it, or is performance degraded since it's running off of the USB and not fully installed? | 16:28 |
| gaelfx | sam_02: only extended partition should be swap, which, btw, ought to be double your physical ram' | 16:28 |
| uRock | GaMeBoY, I see it now. It is normal for USB to take longer to load programs. USB is much slower that using and HDD | 16:29 |
| alberto | stefg Sorry, I had to go to have lunch. | 16:29 |
| terry | znejk: Do you have wifi? | 16:29 |
| gaelfx | uRock: hoping that'll change soon though :D | 16:29 |
| GaMeBoY | uRock: oh ok cool. so it should probably perform a lot better once installed? | 16:29 |
| alberto | stefg That xorg.conf is actually identical to my current xorg.conf. | 16:29 |
| sacarlson | the_seraphim: if you also have ssh access you can change that | 16:29 |
| uRock | GaMeBoY, yes | 16:29 |
| gaelfx | GaMeBoY: a lot might be stretching it, but I would expect a noticeable difference | 16:29 |
| sam_02 | oh ok gaelfx. so / is primary; /home is also primary and swap is extended? right ? | 16:30 |
| znejk | Terry, yes, but cant i just plug the phone in the usb and transfer the photos from there? | 16:30 |
| mi-key | hey! i was thinking of this swap... | 16:30 |
| stefg | sam_02: i usually have sda1 /boot ,sda2/, sda3 swap , sda4 extended, sda5 /home .... sda6 storage on /srv | 16:30 |
| the_seraphim | sacarlson: i do have ssh yes on both my android and my laptop that i use to remote view | 16:30 |
| mi-key | is it necessary to be double the size of ram | 16:30 |
| Ampelbein | ThomasB2k: now I'm really out of ideas :-( | 16:30 |
| gaelfx | sam_02: I think you wanna listen to stefg on this one | 16:30 |
| dumbnuts | can anyone please help me. I have ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my comp. I wanted to convert my comp tu a dual boot. So tried to install windows xp. I put int he xp cd to install that first but alas! the laptop doesn't detect it and ubuntu reboots again. Is there any pendrive solution for this? | 16:30 |
| encrypted | serial terminal emulation for ubuntu? | 16:30 |
| GaMeBoY | uRock: cool, thanks for the tips! there are so many netbook linux distros out there and i am so confused as to which one to pick, lol. i was leaning towards ubuntu since it is so widely supported and there's so much software available for it, and i'm guessing it'd probably be most stable | 16:31 |
| sam_02 | oh ok stefg. | 16:31 |
| encrypted | like minicom? | 16:31 |
| ThomasB2k | Ampelbein: I understand. This is so weird. There's no reason for this to be happening. Thank you anyways. | 16:31 |
| sam_02 | ok gaelfx. :) | 16:31 |
| llutz | encrypted: why not minicom? | 16:31 |
| terry | znejk: I don't know. I've never done it. But just seems easier to do it over the wireless. (If you have wireless.) | 16:31 |
| alberto | I'll be right back. | 16:31 |
| gaelfx | dumbnuts: you mean for installing windows xp? | 16:31 |
| mi-key | for example my ram is 4gb.. so should swap be of 8gb?? | 16:31 |
| andai | keep getting wine errors, that the environment folder (on a different user account) is not owned by me | 16:31 |
| GaMeBoY | uRock, gaelfx: do u guys think ubuntu is the best way to go or should i look closer at other netbook/lightweight distros? | 16:31 |
| andai | how do i make it so everyone can run windows stuff | 16:31 |
| stefg | alberto: so if you rebooted you should have 3D now... run glxgears | 16:31 |
| sam_02 | Thank you so much gaelfx and stefg. wll follow stefg's scheme. seems convinient and easy. thanks again. | 16:31 |
| uRock | dumbnuts, quit repeating yourself, your system should display what keys you need to hit in order to get into bios to select boot from CD or what have you | 16:31 |
| encrypted | llutz: because I cant install minicom | 16:32 |
| the_seraphim | sacarlson: how do i change it with ssh? | 16:32 |
| dumbnuts | gaelfx: Yes, I googled and found out that for dual booting, xp needs to be installed first. but my cd tray doesn't get detected. | 16:32 |
| uRock | GaMeBoY, I use Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop on my Asus Netbook | 16:32 |
| sacarlson | the_seraphim: then you should look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1533377 | 16:32 |
| gaelfx | GaMeBoY: I've not used other netbook OSes, so I can't really say. I like Ubuntu's version pretty well though | 16:32 |
| dumbnuts | uRock: please read what I wrote earlier again. | 16:32 |
| dumbnuts | uRock: I am a noob but not dumb. | 16:33 |
| gaelfx | dumbnuts: what do you mean it doesn't get detected? are you talking about the BIOS not booting from your CD? | 16:33 |
| encrypted | "sudo apt-get install minicom" doesn't find any packages | 16:33 |
| llutz | !info minicom | 16:33 |
| ubottu | minicom (source: minicom): friendly menu driven serial communication program. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4-2ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 305 kB, installed size 1164 kB | 16:33 |
| GaMeBoY | uRock: does the desktop version run well enough on ur system? also, what kind of netbook is it, spec-wise? | 16:33 |
| GaMeBoY | gaelfx: oh ok, thanks anyway! | 16:33 |
| gaelfx | GaMeBoY: np | 16:33 |
| iceroot | encrypted: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install minicom | 16:33 |
| llutz | encrypted: check your sources, universe has to be enabled | 16:33 |
| dumbnuts | gaelfx: YES | 16:33 |
| gaelfx | dumbnuts: so you already made sure that the boot order is correct? | 16:33 |
| encrypted | llutz: dumb question alert: how do I enable "universe? | 16:34 |
| uRock | dumbnuts, I wasn't accusing you of being dumb, if bios doesn't detect it, then maybe you burnt the ISO wrong | 16:34 |
| bazhang | encrypted, synaptic package manager | 16:34 |
| uRock | GaMeBoY, runs much better than the XP which came with it | 16:34 |
| dumbnuts | gaelfx: I don't know. Right now, it detect pen rives first then normal internal hard drives. dunno about the cd thing. | 16:34 |
| dumbnuts | gaelfx: are there seperate options for pen drive and cd drives? | 16:35 |
| gaelfx | dumbnuts: then there's your problem, you have to change the boot order to cd-rom first or second | 16:35 |
| terry | znejk: But if you have it plugged in, you should be able to mount the various flash memory devices and then transfer data back and forth as you wish. But, again, I just think file expert would be easier. It loads up a web server and ftp server for you to use with the browser or file manager as you see fit. | 16:35 |
| gaelfx | dumbnuts: anything to make it run before the disk, where your ubuntu is installed | 16:35 |
| dumbnuts | gaelfx: err, how to do that?? | 16:35 |
| gaelfx | dumbnuts: yes, there are. is this a usb cd drive? | 16:35 |
| encrypted | can anyone provide me the commands to enable universe? | 16:35 |
| GaMeBoY | uRock: makes sense, lol. should using the netbook give any performance increase? or is it more or less the same? i assume the netbook one is lighter, but so far it actualy seems to be a bit more graphics intensive because it has that fancy touch-friendly UI and the movable mac-like launcher bar thing | 16:35 |
| uRock | dumbnuts, you do it via bios | 16:36 |
| llutz | encrypted: [17:34:26] <bazhang> encrypted, synaptic package manager | 16:36 |
| GaMeBoY | netbook edition* | 16:36 |
| dumbnuts | gaelfx: huh? wat the hell is a usb cd drive. I ahve a usb input port and a cd rive. | 16:36 |
| llutz | encrypted: or sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:36 |
| dumbnuts | uRock: How exactly in BIOS? | 16:36 |
| uRock | GaMeBoY, the netbook edition is just designed to look better on the small screen | 16:36 |
| encrypted | llutz: ta | 16:36 |
| gaelfx | dumbnuts: ok, so you need to go into your bios setup when you start up your computer and change the boot order so that the cd-rom is first | 16:37 |
| bazhang | encrypted, if by the nano method remove the # infront | 16:37 |
| uRock | dumbnuts, select the boot order function and it should allow you to change the boot order to put CD/DVD at the top of the list | 16:37 |
| terry | gaelfx: dumbnuts Additionally, some PCs have a key you hit just after post to take you to boot options. | 16:37 |
| encrypted | thanks bazhang got it now | 16:37 |
| GaMeBoY | uRock: i see, so not necessarily lighter or more efficient in any other way? | 16:38 |
| wedwo- | dumbnuts, reboot and press F2 right in the beginning to get into your BIOS | 16:38 |
| alberto | stefg It didn't work. | 16:38 |
| terry | gaelfx: dumbnuts Usually it's F12 I think. | 16:38 |
| stefg | alberto: what didn't work? | 16:38 |
| gaelfx | wedwo-: the key is different on different machines | 16:38 |
| wedwo- | dumbnuts, but google tuts on BIOS FIRST because you can trash your computer if you mess up in BIOS | 16:38 |
| dumbnuts | uRock: gaelfx : wedwo- terry : thanks all. I will try it right away. | 16:38 |
| stefg | !doesntwork | 16:38 |
| uRock | GaMeBoY, that is it. Just better looking, to some, but the underlying OS is the same | 16:38 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 16:38 |
| gaelfx | terry: thank you for including me, but I know ;) | 16:38 |

| [TK]D-Fender | Anyone experience with mdadm around? | 16:40 |
| terry | gaelfx: dumbnuts When I do not know (or haven't seen on the screen) what the keystroke for bios is, I just alternately hit Esc F1 Del until it comes up. | 16:40 |
| uRock | terry, same here | 16:40 |
| terry | uRock: Yea, it's usually one of the 3 | 16:40 |
| gaelfx | I had a whole fiasco figuring out how to get into my bios, I don't like the windows sevens with quiet boot and whatnot enabled | 16:41 |

| terry | gaelfx: What worked for you? | 16:42 |
| stefg | alberto: ah ok.... that's a different thing.Installing nvidia-current was a good idea anyway. you might look for firmwarefor your caard and other apps like me-tv. On my rig channels switch actually faster on linux than on win | 16:42 |

| troyounces | when I do a dmesg - the Universal TUN/TAP device driver shows up but I cant see a tun0 device | 16:43 |

| terry | troyounces: Try /sbin/modprobe tun | 16:43 |
| alberto | stefg Ok, should I try me-tv then? | 16:44 |
| GaMeBoY | uRock: one more thing: should i be able to install things normally on the LiveUSB? i.e., if i wanted to test out things like flash, and installing an ide and testing it out, should that work with no issues? | 16:44 |
| troyounces | I tried /sbin/modprobe tun and got nothing | 16:44 |
| gaelfx | GaMeBoY: he's gone. and yes | 16:44 |

| deek0146 | bazhang: Yea, seems like a good idea no? | 17:03 |
| Linda | this is on a MAC iBook G4 | 17:03 |
| bazhang | deek0146, apt-p2p | 17:03 |
| deek0146 | Heh, cool thanks :p | 17:04 |
| bazhang | !info apt-p2p | deek0146 | 17:04 |
| ubottu | deek0146: apt-p2p (source: apt-p2p): apt helper for peer-to-peer downloads of Debian packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.6 (maverick), package size 106 kB, installed size 628 kB | 17:04 |
| mi-key | bazhang: so is there any diffrence in functioning as well?? | 17:04 |
| bazhang | mi-key, well sure. | 17:04 |
| bazhang | mi-key, you can install kubuntu-desktop edubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop ubuntustudio-desktop et al and try them | 17:05 |
| Linda | bazhang, is there a way to fix booting problems on a fresh install i just did of Ubuntu 10.4 LTS to a Mac iBook G4 | 17:06 |
| osse | I live in a dorm When I go to "Places -> Network" I can see _a lot_ of computers there, most of them in the "Windows Network" folder. Is my computer visible in that way? | 17:07 |
| bazhang | Linda, try booting in recovery mode, hold shift at boot | 17:07 |
| arand | osse: Unless oyu have configured it to be, no | 17:08 |
| mi-key | i have windows and ubuntu installed on my system, how would i remove ubuntu without affecting windows? | 17:08 |
| ruan | is there any download manager for ubuntu other than jdownloader? it just wrecked two of my downloads | 17:09 |
| alberto | stefg I think it's a card model thing | 17:09 |
| ruan | ^good | 17:09 |
| arand | mi-key: Get a windows install/recovery disk. | 17:09 |
| alberto | stefg I mean, Me-Tv changes too slow also. | 17:09 |
| Linda | bazhang, ok i get a blank screen--Spawing manitainance Shell---root filesystem failed | 17:09 |
| arand | mi-key: Use the "fix startup" option. | 17:09 |
| BluesKaj | mi-key, how is it installed. on it's own partition ? | 17:09 |
| Linda | bazhang, i get a error about a bad sector | 17:10 |
| osse | arand, thanks. Out of curiosity: how do I configure it to be? | 17:11 |
| arand | osse: I do not know I'm afraid, look into "samba" | 17:11 |
| arand | mi-key: So the grub dual-boot-menu is still there when you boot the computer? | 17:12 |
| BluesKaj | mi-key, you mean grub , right? | 17:12 |
| ruan | is there any good download manager for ubuntu other than jdownloader? | 17:12 |
| stefg | alberto: might be.... can also be firmware. If you feel like doing it you could try to find the firmware on the win-partiton and trying if you can get the kernel to load it. But that's more like geek sports.... nothing for novices | 17:12 |
| Memphis | chciałem się jeszcze zapytać czy ktoś może miał problem w ubuntu z wyjściem dźwięku na słuchawki? | 17:13 |

| BluesKaj | ruan, wget in the cli, or FF has a good one if you want a web based DL manager | 17:16 |
| arand | mi-key: From the win repair CD run "bootrec /fixmbr" "bootrec /fixboot" ... "bootrec /scanos" should list your OSes, you might need "bootrec /rebuildbcd" in rare cases. | 17:17 |

| XLV | ruan, some people recommend axel, its cli based | 17:19 |
| arand | mi-key: I'm off, good luck | 17:19 |

| drewbert | Hi guys. I have an external drive. When I plug it in, it becomes sda. I use suspend and hibernate functionality which is set to always use sda, so I cannot hibernate if I boot linux with my external hard drive plugged in. Is there a way I can set suspend and hibernate to use UUID. How do I set it? | 17:22 |
| bullgard | panda: Du bist hier im englischen Kanal. | 17:22 |
| gaelfx | syskk: there's always the chance that it will not work correctly with your system, and I don't think you can uninstall it with software center, though you *might* be able to with synaptic | 17:22 |
| BluesKaj | ruan, ther you go sudo apt-get install d4x | 17:22 |
| mi-key | how can i change the background of grub option selection screen. | 17:22 |
| joeoshawa | anyone have an idea why in ktorrent torrents will download but magnet links will not? | 17:22 |
| BluesKaj | !splashimage | 17:22 |
| syskk | gaelfx: how would I uninstall it manually then? | 17:22 |
| BluesKaj | !splash | 17:23 |
| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 17:23 |
| gaelfx | syskk: it's best to install things from s/w center or synaptic, if at all possible, if you're desparate, try a ppa, but if you're unsure what you're doing, it's best to avoid .debs | 17:23 |
| gaelfx | syskk: what is the software that you installed? | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | oops , that's not it ! | 17:23 |
| syskk | bullgard: from Oracle (latest virtualbox) | 17:23 |

| insanity99 | hey guys on linux should i get an anti virus and firewall? | 17:24 |
| smw | !virus | 17:24 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 17:24 |
| stefg | !antivrus | 17:24 |
| sukuri | I switched my desktop manager to xmonad, and for some reason, when I go through with the normal xmonad commands (like opening a terminal), nothing happens. Any suggestions? | 17:24 |
| bullgard | syskk: Chances are that it will interfere with Ubuntu packages. Not to be recommended for a newcomer. | 17:24 |
| insanity99 | what about firewall? | 17:24 |
| ruan | E: Unable to locate package d4x | 17:25 |
| sss314 | What command can I use for traceroute? | 17:25 |
| mi-key | m not speaking of gnome splash screen.. i m speaking of grub background | 17:25 |
| BluesKaj | mi-key, http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-add-a-splash-image-to-grub-2-on-ubuntu-9.04...this should work for most | 17:25 |
| brontoeee | !firewall | 17:25 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 17:25 |
| joeoshawa | insanity99, there is a firewall built in | 17:25 |
| Guest8683 | Does anyone have the problem with ubuntu that it kills your network when you turn off your ubuntu machine? (not issuing DCHP IP's) | 17:25 |
| rumpe1 | insanity99, behind a NAT-router.. usually you don't need one | 17:25 |
| insanity99 | ok cool, what if i run windows files through wine, is that a risk? | 17:25 |
| g_0_0 | sss314, mmm traceroute - sudo apt-get install traceroute | 17:25 |
| joeoshawa | insanity99, you could however build a hardware firewall if you have multiple computers | 17:25 |
| bullgard | sss314: You will not believe it: 'traceroute'. | 17:25 |
| s7r | anybody knows why my iptables rules do not persist after reboot? I have run as root iptables-save after typing the rules .... | 17:25 |
| smw | insanity99, I would scan before using software with wine (if you don't trust the source) | 17:26 |
| stefg | insanity99: the real question is: what are the likely threats that you need to avoid? | 17:26 |
| brontoeee | insanity99, afaik very slight | 17:26 |
| Guest8683 | Does anyone have the problem with ubuntu that it kills your network when you turn off your ubuntu machine? (not issuing DCHP IP's) | 17:26 |
| sukuri | Guest8683: you just asked that question, please wait for a few minnutes before reposting. | 17:26 |
| sss314 | bullgard, I thought it would be installed already by default.... | 17:26 |
| g_0_0 | sss314, no you have to install it | 17:27 |
| insanity99 | so if i where to torrent an exe, lets say from lime wire(i dont use lime wire) there would be a chance of a windows virus affecting my pc? | 17:27 |
| joeoshawa | firewalls usually use iptables which is part of ubuntu when you install it | 17:27 |
| bullgard | syskk: Also, Software Center might not be able to remove it safely. | 17:27 |
| sss314 | g_0_0, OK. I installed it now, thanks | 17:27 |
| stefg | s7r: network-manager in effect? | 17:27 |
| ruan | how do i get d4x? its not found in apt-get | 17:27 |
| s7r | stefg: I have ubuntu 10.10 on an openvz VPS | 17:27 |
| smw | insanity99, viruses tend to try to do low level things and end up crashing on wine in my experience. | 17:27 |
| syskk | ok | 17:27 |
| brontoeee | insanity99, slight, depending on the virus, and probably with limited depth | 17:28 |
| smw | insanity99, and when you kill all wine, the virus dies | 17:28 |

| insanity99 | ok thanks | 17:28 |
| insanity99 | is there a shortcut for freenode identify? | 17:29 |
| stefg | s7r: that might be a reason.... you don't have "your own" kernel, right ? | 17:29 |
| s7r | right | 17:29 |
| s7r | stefg: any way to go around this? | 17:29 |
| mi-key | what happens if we run a virus effected exe file through wine | 17:29 |
| rumpe1 | insanity99, in xchat: /ns id <password> | 17:29 |
| insanity99 | nice thanks | 17:30 |
| rumpe1 | insanity99, or just put it in the server-config | 17:30 |

| * stefg curses again to that space bar | 17:30 | |
| s7r | wow stefg that is way too much for me ... not such expert | 17:31 |
| insanity99 | oh yeah is spyware a risk on linux? | 17:31 |
| ruan | mi-key: viruses do run on wine | 17:31 |
| stefg | !rc.local | 17:31 |
| joeoshawa | i am using ktorrent in regular ubuntu and all the torrents work but magnet links do not any idea why? | 17:31 |
| gaelfx | s7r: it's not that bad, just give it a go | 17:31 |
| stefg | !boot | 17:31 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 17:31 |

| s7r | gaelfx: yes of course i am willing to do some learning and reading as I can not have someone do the work for me .. but i just needed some material to read / atutorial | 17:32 |
| insanity99 | ok thanks | 17:32 |
| BiPolah | Stefwal: Certainly | 17:32 |
| AbhijiT | stefwal, ask | 17:32 |
| joeoshawa | even if a virus runs in wine is still has no way of harming anything major anyway | 17:32 |
| mi-key | hey can anyone tell me which version of grub does ubuntu 10.10 uses? | 17:33 |
| gaelfx | s7r: well, you could have someone do the work for you if you let them ssh into your machine ;) | 17:33 |
| joeoshawa | all i can see it doing is messing up wine | 17:33 |

| luxgeek | What's the aptitude command to install apache, php, mysql, pear? | 17:33 |
| joeoshawa | not a big loss and easy to fix | 17:33 |
| luxgeek | All at once? | 17:33 |
| stefg | s7r: so you've written some iptables commands,right? put them into the file /etc/rc.local so they get executed every time at boot | 17:33 |
| mi-key | ruan: so that virus will efect my system?? | 17:33 |
| BiPolah | Joeoshawa: It wouldn't be able to do anything outside the WINE environment. It'd be coded for Windows and probably wouldn't understand the ext filesystems | 17:33 |
| brontoeee | luxgeek, how about 'tasksel' ? | 17:34 |
| joeoshawa | thats what i mean | 17:34 |
| gaelfx | besides, viruses are so old hat, phishing is where it's at | 17:34 |
| gaelfx | it works on any system, provided the users go for it | 17:34 |
| luxgeek | brontoeee: Never heard of it, what does it do precisely? | 17:34 |
| stefwal | I'll first restart the system en see what that gives. cya | 17:34 |
| joeoshawa | only if your dumb enough to fall for typing your password into some program you don't know | 17:35 |
| brontoeee | luxgeek, for example it installs lamp , http://wiki.debian.org/tasksel | 17:35 |
| ruan | gaelfx: known phishing sites are blocked in firefox | 17:35 |
| gaelfx | ruan: keyword: known | 17:35 |
| s7r | yes stefg | 17:36 |
| s7r | but i need to vi the file and enter | 17:36 |
| joeoshawa | usually comes in the form of a message in your browser saying "your system has been infected type your username and password so we can clean your system" | 17:36 |
| s7r | or how | 17:36 |
| mi-key | does that mean no virus can effect ubuntu?? | 17:36 |

| ruan | it happened to my dad when he started IE.. opened up to a phishing page | 17:36 |
| gaelfx | mi-key: windows viruses don't really have much of a chance | 17:36 |
| luxgeek | brontoeee: Cool, but I'm not sure I want a "lamp" I prefer that they all are separate. I know you can "string" package names, I just can't remember the syntax | 17:37 |
| joeoshawa | i suppose a virus could be written for linux but it would still need your root pass to do any harm | 17:37 |
| [TK]D-Fender | mi-key: natelively no, of course not | 17:37 |
| erUSUL | [TK]D-Fender: shoudn't the array just assemble on boot ? if not you can mention it in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf; can't you ? | 17:37 |
| [TK]D-Fender | mi-key: what makes something a "windows virius"? the executeable CODE | 17:37 |

| erUSUL | [TK]D-Fender: man mdadm.conf | 17:37 |
| stefg | s7r ... yes.so there isplenty of room to add stuff before that | 17:38 |
| joeoshawa | thats how they had a mac virus the same principal applies people had a window come up asking for there password and people were naive enough to put it in | 17:38 |
| plainas | how do i permanently disable scrollbar on terminator | 17:38 |
| [TK]D-Fender | mi-key: yes, if you run wine and you run virus code it will have access tow hatever is in it's scope. | 17:38 |

| [TK]D-Fender | mi-key: You know you could google this. There are a million good blog entries that explain what makes *NIX a harder environment to crack. | 17:39 |
| joeoshawa | [TK]D-Fender, not true windows has a more lax security policy in wine the virus only has access to the systems wine does | 17:39 |
| [TK]D-Fender | mi-key: and there ARE VIRII for *NIX's, including Mac. | 17:39 |
| stefg | s7r: exit 0 should be the last line.... it defines the return value for a script bthat ran ok | 17:39 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: [TK]D-Fender maybe we could take this to #ubuntu-offtopic please ? | 17:40 |
| mi-key | [TK]D-Fender: even the first virus was not intended to harm it was an accident so there could be some harmful code for ubuntu as well right? | 17:40 |
| ikonia | mi-key: you too, #ubuntu-offtopic would be a great place to discuss this virus topic | 17:40 |
| bazhang | !virus | mi-key have a read | 17:40 |

| s7r | stefg: so all i have to do is add iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING etc exactly as I did them, iptables-save and last line exit 0? | 17:40 |
| joeoshawa | i don't put passwords into any page i did not intend to go to that would be in the scope of idiot | 17:40 |
| stefg | s7r: if that's the only iptables command... then yes | 17:41 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: please, #ubuntu-offtopic is the right place to continue this | 17:41 |
| stefg | s7r: you don't need the iptables-save statemant of course | 17:41 |
| s7r | stefg: there are 2 commands and 1 iptables-save (i add these 3 lines) leave exit 0 just as it is and I am done ? | 17:41 |
| s7r | i don't need to restart any service | 17:41 |

| ikonia | joeoshawa: magnet links need authentication don't they ? | 17:42 |

| netech | where can I place some commands to run upon successful gdm login? | 17:44 |
| s7r | stefg: what means iptables statement ? | 17:44 |
| xangua | !java | Guest72540 | 17:44 |
| ubottu | Guest72540: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 17:44 |
| s7r | iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING etc --to source would be the statement ? | 17:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest72540: enable the partner repo and you can install java | 17:44 |
| LolikZabijaka | wtf? | 17:44 |
| ikonia | LolikZabijaka: language please. | 17:44 |
| netech | I've tried ~/.xinitrc, ~/.xsession, ~/.xstartup, ~/.xprofile with no joy | 17:44 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: I'm being told that info maybe a little dates, so it may be off | 17:44 |
| [TK]D-Fender | erUSUL: Yeah, I've done a lot of searching around, and have found "mdadm --detail --scan -v" should spit back a line I should be able to paste into the conf. wondering though it refers to fixed HD devs where I'd prefer to point it to UUID's is that possible. because as I add removable HD tray's etc I risk the ordering falling out from under me. | 17:45 |
| joeoshawa | yeah it is ktorrent does support them and they work in my ktorrent they just don't download anything | 17:45 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: magnet links are in ktorrent 4 and alter | 17:45 |
| ikonia | later | 17:45 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: http://ktorrent.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Does_KTorrent_support_magnet_links.3F | 17:45 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: maybe dead links | 17:45 |
| joeoshawa | maybe | 17:45 |
| joeoshawa | but all of them | 17:45 |
| joeoshawa | every time | 17:45 |
| stefg | s7r: right | 17:45 |
| netech | the comments in /etc/gdm/Xsession says that it calls ~/.xsession | 17:46 |
| s7r | done it | 17:46 |
| Guest72540 | thanks | 17:46 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: possible if it's not a busy network, maybe the ports it needs are blocked / | 17:46 |
| ActionParsnip | LolikZabijaka: do you have a support question? | 17:46 |
| joeoshawa | if i go back and download the torrent the magnet link is from it works | 17:46 |
| erUSUL | [TK]D-Fender: dunno if mdadm.conf can take /dev/disk/by-uuid/ devices; sorry | 17:46 |
| netech | brb | 17:46 |
| [TK]D-Fender | erUSUL: I suppose I should verify my exposure by swapping out the channels and seeing if the Disk Utility can track them. If it compensates then something else is helping it | 17:47 |
| s7r | stefg: many thanks for your help! could you just look at this http://pastebin.com/W2USyPCT and tell me if it's correct - then I will stop being a stress .. many thanks again | 17:47 |
| vpark | hjh | 17:47 |
| stefg | s7r: looks good... | 17:48 |
| joeoshawa | for example if i go to pirate bay and search for a torrent i get a page describing the torrent and an option to dl the torrent or open the magnet link | 17:48 |
| s7r | and this rc.local is executed whenever ubuntu boots without any additional settings from me | 17:49 |
| s7r | i don't have to tell ubuntu to boot rc.local everytime at startup right ? | 17:49 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: yes, they are two different networks | 17:49 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: (as I understand it) | 17:49 |
| joeoshawa | if i open the magnet link it shows in ktorrent and says downloading but nothing shows up | 17:49 |
| joeoshawa | like nothing gets downloaded | 17:49 |
| joeoshawa | if i download the torrent file it all works | 17:50 |
| terry | s7r: As long as the executable bit is set for it, it will run. | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | joeoshawa: then use the torrent file... | 17:50 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: open the two files see if they point at the same places | 17:50 |
| stefg | s7r: that's the only purpose for that file | 17:50 |
| amh345 | hi all, what do i need to run to see where a file is loading from? | 17:50 |
| joeoshawa | they do if i open the magnet then the torrent it says it is already downloading | 17:50 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: also try it in a different client, see if it's a client or your network, help narrow it down | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | amh345: how do you mean? | 17:51 |
| s7r | terry stefg i did not put any executable bits on that file , is it executable by default? | 17:51 |
| Nuxr0 | Hi, any mirror admins around can tell me how large is a full ubuntu mirror? | 17:51 |
| amh345 | ActionParsnip: from terminal, i have a program ffmpeg. but it's an older machine (has versionitis) and i cant see which version of mmpeg is loading from command. | 17:51 |
| ikonia | Nuxr0: it's about 60GB per release | 17:51 |
| stefg | s7r: it should be by default, sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local won't hurt either | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | amh345: you can see what binary is ran when you run a command using: which <commandhere> e.g. which nano | 17:52 |
| amh345 | ActionParsnip: that did it. thanks | 17:52 |
| joeoshawa | my problem is the torrent uses magnet as well but mine is not which means i lose out on most of the seeds | 17:52 |
| terry | s7r: no. chmod +x /etc/rc.local #Or to just see: ls -l /etc/rc.local #should look like this; -rwxr-xr-x | 17:52 |

| megana | Hi Ubuntu. I have a home network with ipods and ipads and and macs and linuxes. How do I give each computers names for network chatter? | 17:52 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: try it with a different client, help narrow it down, it may be a bug | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | megana: each system must have and will have a hostname | 17:53 |
| joeoshawa | i will try another client brb | 17:53 |
| ikonia | megana: the names are set in the devices, not ubuntu | 17:53 |
| terry | megana: Set hostnames | 17:53 |
| ikonia | megana: in ubuntu it asks you to set a hostname at install time | 17:53 |
| Interdictor | hey you guys...can u start naming ways to create a file from the terminal using admin privileges...i know theres several ways....i cant seem to use "sudo > filename" for obvious reasons...however. what is the defacto way to get that command to do what i want | 17:53 |
| megana | eah but they don't know about each other | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | megana: can you ping the host names? | 17:53 |
| ikonia | megana: how do you expect them to "know" about each other, what are you using to connect them ? | 17:54 |
| megana | nope | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Interdictor: sudo touch filename | 17:54 |
| Interdictor | thanks ActionParsnip | 17:54 |
| megana | there's some wireless technology and ethernet cables | 17:54 |
| netech | megana: are you using dhcp? | 17:54 |
| stefg | Interdictor: sudo touch file | 17:54 |
| megana | yes netech | 17:54 |
| ikonia | megana: sorry, I mean how do you expect the ipad to see the ubuntu machine, what application are you using for that ? | 17:54 |
| netech | megana: check your dhcp leases to get IPs/hostnames | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | megana: ok are they all connecting to the same switch/router? | 17:54 |
| megana | ikonia, apache | 17:54 |
| megana | yes actionparsnip | 17:55 |
| netech | then stuff them in your hosts file | 17:55 |
| ikonia | megana: ok, so in that case the issue is name resolution | 17:55 |
| megana | there's no host file in an ipad :( | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | megana: ok can you ping the IPs? | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | megana: there is | 17:55 |
| ikonia | megana: depending on your network you'll need a name -> ip resolution service, such as DNS | 17:55 |
| megana | yes actionparsnip | 17:55 |
| ikonia | megana: if you're using DHCP then you'll need a more advanced DNS or name resolution service to register a hostname with an IP when it take lease | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | megana: ok then DNS is failing, thats all | 17:55 |
| ikonia | megana: does that make sense to you (what I've just said) | 17:55 |
| Interdictor | ActionParsnip another question...how dow i administratively dump the contents of file1 into file2? "sudo file1 > file2" doest work for obvious reasons...wat is the defacto? | 17:56 |
| brontoeee | ikonia, how would you do it? the dynamic ip set by a router + names set by say an ubuntu machine? | 17:56 |
| ikonia | brontoeee: I'd use dhcp broadcast update with a dynamic bind setup, that would be my way | 17:57 |
| megana | ikonia, yeah. I have a router, and a computer running linux that wants to help everyone else resolve names, but I don't know how to tell it to do that | 17:57 |
| ikonia | megana: what linux version are you runnign ? | 17:57 |
| terry | brontoeee: ikonia You can tell the router to set static IPs | 17:57 |
| megana | squeeze linux | 17:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Interdictor: dude you really need to use sudo LESS | 17:57 |
| ikonia | megana: ok, so I don't know about that, and this channel doesn't support squeeze, but ask the squeeze guys for help with bind and "ad-hoc" dhcp updates | 17:57 |
| brontoeee | terry, how would wireless go into that? | 17:57 |
| Interdictor | ActionParsnip im in /var/www i need to | 17:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Interdictor: you can use: cat file1 > file2 if the file is not owned by you then you will need to use: cat file1 | sudo tee file2 | 17:58 |
| terry | brontoeee: Most routers have a web-based config | 17:58 |
| megana | okay ikonia, then I have ubuntu LTS :) | 17:58 |
| ikonia | megana: either the router can update the dns server for you, or the clients can send requests on boot | 17:58 |
| Interdictor | thanks ActionParsnip | 17:58 |
| ikonia | megana: sorry, I don't believe you | 17:58 |
| brontoeee | terry, and? | 17:58 |
| megana | I just changed the repositories ikonia :P | 17:58 |
| ActionParsnip | megana: can you give the output of: lsb_release -d please | 17:58 |
| megana | Description:Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 (squeeze) | 17:59 |
| ikonia | megana: sorry, I don't believe you, I'll leave it there, please get support from the squeeze guys, I've given you enough to get started | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !debian | megana | 17:59 |
| ubottu | megana: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | megana: debian isn't supported here | 17:59 |
| ikonia | oooh the debian squeeze release, I thought it was a distro called squeeze | 17:59 |
| ActionParsnip | megana: debian has it's OWN channel, #debian | 17:59 |
| azmodeus | salve... una cosa... uhmmm, ho scaricato "icewm"...installato da ubuntu software center... beh, qualcuno mi sa dire dove va a finire una volta fatto ciò???? | 17:59 |
| megana | That's okay Actionparsnip. I don't need specific commands just tips | 18:00 |
| terry | brontoeee: Go into the DHCP configuration page and set static or fixed leases (depending on what term the router's config uses). | 18:00 |
| azmodeus | doh... sorry! | 18:00 |
| ikonia | megana: good luck | 18:00 |
| azmodeus | I see now that I'm in an english channel! :P | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | megana: i'd ask in the debian channel, they may know some things. This isn't tips chat, this is Ubuntu support only | 18:00 |
| === megana is now known as not_megan | ||

| UBXUER | hello | 18:06 |
| UBXUER | i'm facing a huge probelm | 18:06 |
| ikonia | UBXUER: well, spit them out, and lets see if we can help | 18:06 |
| brontoeee | terry, its mixes, 2x win, 3x ubuntu, 1x osx .... | 18:06 |
| brontoeee | *mixed | 18:06 |
| terry | brontoeee: That way, you just paste a whole batch in each one. | 18:06 |
| UBXUER | on windows, my connection speed is 600kb/sec, on ubuntu <100kb/sec... it was fine this morning | 18:07 |
| UBXUER | all my download and everyhing on ubuntu is really slow... | 18:07 |
| terry | brontoeee: reformat 2x win and 1x osx ;/ | 18:07 |
| brontoeee | terry, no :) | 18:07 |
| joeoshawa | where would transmission be in the file system | 18:07 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: normally /usr/bin I think ? | 18:07 |
| terry | brontoeee: Then just set hostnames as you see fit | 18:08 |
| joeoshawa | thanks | 18:08 |
| UBXUER | my upload speed is the same on both the machine | 18:08 |
| UBXUER | its only my download.. i feel like ubuntu randomly is limiting my transfer rate | 18:08 |
| terry | brontoeee: And set static leases in the router, (to make things even more simplier). If you have static IPs you can just use IP address. So.. why NOT just use IP??? | 18:09 |
| UBXUER | so? | 18:09 |
| stefwal | question: is there a room for noob developpers for ubuntu | 18:10 |
| ActionParsnip | UBXUER: try running: lspci and search for your network chip to see if there are any bugs logged for it | 18:10 |
| brontoeee | terry, nothing wrong with that, it feels dumb on the long run, also ips are not really human friendly | 18:11 |
| UBXUER | ActionParsnip, my 'network chip' was fine this morning.. | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | UBXUER: i assume the device is integrated into the system and isnt usb based | 18:11 |
| UBXUER | yes.. i'm on a notebook | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | UBXUER: well it's not now is it. What changed since/ | 18:11 |
| UBXUER | maybe.. | 18:11 |
| UBXUER | i started the program inssider | 18:12 |
| UBXUER | it was installed before but i ran it today | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | UBXUER: ok try without it running | 18:12 |
| nsd | Anyone know how to make a partition with gnu parted? I'm trying to fix a broken system using the busybox shell in an Ubuntu alternate install disk | 18:12 |
| B45h_V| | hey. I'm just trying to restore my /home directory from my last fullbackup. I'm using sbackup. Now sbackup started recovering and copied all the files from the backup-archive, but somehow it doesn't write them to /home/username. instead it created a directory /home/tmpTw6tDZ/ where it seems to store the data. WTF? | 18:12 |
| ikonia | B45h_V|: control the langauge | 18:12 |
| UBXUER | yea.. i tried that.. 3 time reboot..made no difference ran sudo dhclient wlan0 which usually fixes the problem but isn't working any more | 18:12 |
| B45h_V| | ikonia: is my English that bad? | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | UBXUER: a BIOS update may help too. also read the dmesg of the bootup to see if any firmware files are being used | 18:13 |
| nsd | Really all I need to know is the syntax for mkfs (I think) for specifying a partition; I've tried mkfs /dev/sda1 ext4 and mkfs 1 ext4 (and with the arguments reversed) but neither work, and the man page doesn't help | 18:14 |
| ikonia | B45h_V|: no, just don't appreciate the band language, please try not o use it | 18:14 |
| ikonia | B45h_V "bad" language, my English clearly is that bad | 18:14 |
| terry | brontoeee: You only need to remember the last 1 or 2 digits because you know ###.##.# already. so.... i.e. I have 7 on my home LAN, kids pc is .12 webserver is .18 wife's is .5 for the Ubuntu machine and .20 for the MS Windows one etc.etc. etc. | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | terry: why not update your hosts file then you can use names | 18:15 |
| UBXUER | wow | 18:15 |
| UBXUER | that sounds difficult | 18:15 |
| UBXUER | wth man.. | 18:15 |
| UBXUER | the speed is so shti now.. 40kbs/sec from system monitor | 18:16 |
| terry | ActionParsnip: I like numbers and I may be on any one at any one time. | 18:16 |

| AndroidKris | if anyone can help me... | 18:19 |
| ikonia | AndroidKris: for the end user, nothing in reality | 18:20 |
| ikonia | AndroidKris: if you have a need to use 64bit, may as well start, if not 32bit plays it safe | 18:20 |
| ikonia | AndroidKris: how much ram do you have ? | 18:20 |
| AndroidKris | plenty.lol | 18:20 |

| nagg1 | How much is plenty? | 18:20 |
| AndroidKris | I don't remember the exact spec | 18:20 |
| terry | AndroidKris: There is only significant difference if you deal with very large files. There is a preformance increase in 64bit overall but not so much you'd notice. | 18:20 |
| ikonia | AndroidKris: find out how much ram you have, | 18:20 |
| nagg1 | More than 3GB? | 18:20 |
| AndroidKris | more than 3gm nagg1 | 18:21 |
| AndroidKris | I know that much. | 18:21 |

| AndroidKris | brb, i'm checking my ram | 18:21 |
| terry | AndroidKris: free | 18:21 |

| ActionParsnip | nsd: sudo umount /dev/partitionname or if its swap then run: sudo swapoff /dev/partitionname | 18:25 |
| nsd | ActionParsnip: I see mktable will make a whole new partition table, but mktable gpt (which is what I think I should be using) doesn't work. | 18:25 |
| terry | nsd: You can do it with fdisk if you like. i.e. fdisk /dev/sdb #where sdb is the dirve you want to delete partition on. | 18:25 |
| nsd | terry, ActionParsnip: I'm in a rescue (busybox) shell, and I thought fdisk wouldn't work b/c it doesn't support large drives. There is no cfdisk | 18:25 |
| cryptodira | is there a method whereby network settings are automagically set to match the available network offerings? i am having difficulty getting beyond the satellite modem on one system and yet have no problems with the other satellite modem.... 10.04 amd/64 | 18:26 |
| terry | nsd: And then p to "print" what is there and then d 4 to delete the #4 partition, and then w to rewrite | 18:26 |
| AndroidKris | I thought so, I've go 6.0 gb ram | 18:27 |
| terry | nsd: fdisk -l /dev/sdb #Will give you info on sdb | 18:27 |
| terry | nsd: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb #Will give you info on sdb | 18:28 |
| nsd | terry: Ok, I have the partitions deleted (with fdisk), but how do I make ext3 or ext4 partitions? parted says it only does ext2, but I know the installer does at least 3 | 18:28 |
| AndroidKris | meh, I'm just trying to make a bootable external hard drive to toy with so I can figure out linux a little bit. Understand it better before I install it on my internal. | 18:28 |
| terry | nsd: You can create the partition with fdisk as well. And then designate it as ext3 | 18:28 |
| maxxx | hi | 18:29 |
| terry | nsd: But if you designate as ext2 in gparted it won't matter | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | AndroidKris: there is an app on pendrive linux which can transfer the ISO to usb so you can play | 18:29 |
| redbox | Hi. Can someone pastebin all files in /etc/skel/? | 18:29 |
| terry | nsd: You can still format as ext3 | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | AndroidKris: or you can make a persistant install where your updates will stick | 18:29 |
| brontoeee | AndroidKris, or use virtualbox | 18:29 |
| AndroidKris | that's what I'm looking for action | 18:29 |
| terry | nsd: What is it exactly you're tryint to do? | 18:29 |
| AndroidKris | I want any changes I make to stay there. Like running as if it were on internal. | 18:30 |
| AndroidKris | but without touching my actual internal | 18:30 |
| nsd | terry: I'm not using gparted, but gnu parted on the command line, old school, from a busybox rescue shell from a Ubuntu install disk. I'm trying to copy the contents of a hard drive to a compact flash drive which ordinarily wouldn't be a problem, but of course the card was FAT formatted, and I need a linux partition so I can boot off of it | 18:31 |
| grtnt | is there a way not to display action messages (disconnected , joined the room) in chat? i am using empathy thx! | 18:32 |
| terry | nsd: You're creating a linux partition on the thumb drive? Or...? | 18:32 |
| nsd | terry: No, a compact flash card hooked up to an IDE adapter (so it appears to the system as an IDE drive) | 18:33 |
| terry | nsd: And you are wanting to boot from the flash drive? | 18:33 |
| nsd | terry: Yes | 18:34 |
| terry | nsd: What OS are you going to install on it? | 18:34 |
| nsd | terry: Actually, I think I have the installer's partitioner working. I was going to copy an existing installation. I think I have it know... | 18:34 |
| nsd | *now | 18:34 |
| terry | nsd: Ok. Very well. | 18:34 |

| nsd | terry: I didn't know how to get the partitioner up and running (the whiplash based one in the alternate install disk) but I have it now. Thanks for the help anyway, though, now I know how to use fdisk | 18:35 |
| joeoshawa | can't get any other programs to even load the magnet links | 18:36 |
| terry | nsd: but if you copy an existing installation to it, it will need to be set to same drive designation for it to work. Or else you're going to have to change a lot of stuff for it to run. | 18:36 |
| joeoshawa | ktorrent loads them fine tho | 18:36 |

| xrdodrx | ZenGuy311, already did that; "fontforge" runs fine from terminal :3 | 19:18 |
| joeoshawa | ubuntu | 19:18 |
| joel135 | ubuntuWantaBe: open a terminal and type: "echo $PATH" without quotes | 19:18 |
| ActionParsnip | xrdodrx: there is a compile from 1st may 2010 in the playdeb ppa | 19:18 |
| g_0_0 | joeoshawa, ok first path to torrent client ? - in term - which ktorrent | 19:18 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | oh ok | 19:18 |
| xrdodrx | ActionParsnip, newest is 2011-22-feb...it's important I have that version :) | 19:18 |
| ZenGuy311 | xrdodrx: edit the main menu than... "make" is different from "make install" | 19:18 |
| pauljw | Jonii^, do you mean 'super-e' ? | 19:18 |
| joeoshawa | not sure what your asking | 19:19 |
| xrdodrx | ZenGuy311, I know that...I did ./configure && make && make install | 19:19 |
| g_0_0 | joeoshawa, in terminal type - which ktorrent - and post result here | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuWantaBe: the binaries will go in folders in $PATH but files will be put all over the disk | 19:19 |
| ZenGuy311 | xrdodrx: than you'll have to right click on the menu button and select preferences or edit menu | 19:20 |
| joeoshawa | /usr/bin/ktorrent | 19:20 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | oh ok | 19:20 |
| xrdodrx | ZenGuy311, yes, thank you :) couldn't remember how to do in gnome | 19:20 |
| xrdodrx | thanks everyone :D | 19:20 |
| joeoshawa | i got firefox pointing the torrents to ktorrent | 19:20 |
| ZenGuy311 | xrdodrx: ok | 19:20 |
| g_0_0 | joeoshawa, ok first step in terminal - gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/command "/usr/bin/ktorrent %s" | 19:20 |
| joeoshawa | but every magnet link everywhere is invalid | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | xrdodrx: install fontforge then update the binaries with your compiled code | 19:21 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | so if you wanted a certin file you would have to look all over for it , or just use the seach ? | 19:21 |
| xrdodrx | ActionParsnip, what? | 19:21 |
| xrdodrx | update ubuntu's binaries? :o | 19:21 |
| xrdodrx | don't know how to make .debs really | 19:21 |
| joeoshawa | g_0_0, done | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuWantaBe: mosy of what you need is in your home folder, its rare to need to mess with files outside of that | 19:21 |
| guntbert | moes: floppies don't need "burning" :-) | 19:21 |
| lqgr00ve | actionparsnip: yourbackups as in the imaginary backups i don't have or is that an open source software? | 19:22 |
| g_0_0 | joeoshawa, then - gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/needs_terminal false -t bool | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | lqgr00ve: if your data is important, you will have made backups | 19:22 |
| joeoshawa | done | 19:22 |
| Ares | Hi is there a way to add a delay to programs I set to launch when I log in? | 19:22 |
| g_0_0 | joeoshawa, then - gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/enabled true | 19:22 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | I loaded a game but I need to see why it is not working so I am looking for the sierra folder | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | xrdodrx: no, install the repo version then run: sudo make install to overwrite the files in yourdrive to the newer ones | 19:22 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | and don`t know where to start | 19:22 |
| moes | guntbert, Then how do I get the info onto the disc | 19:23 |
| g_0_0 | joeoshawa, then try a magnet link and let me know if it works | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuWantaBe: is it a windows game installed in wine? | 19:23 |
| ccd | I have a friend who just installed netbook 10.10 and I want to get onto his computer via ssh or vnc ect so I can setup it further.... but he is behind a NAT and so am I... is there a built in "remote assistance" feature that we can use or should I just have him ssh to a 3rd host "ssh user@sshserver -L 22:127.0.0.1:22" and then I can get in via the port forward.... | 19:23 |
| xrdodrx | ActionParsnip, um...I already did it correctly and added a launcher to menu :) | 19:23 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | yes | 19:23 |
| joeoshawa | do you have a magnet link you know works | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | xrdodrx: sweet | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuWantaBe: you may want to give details rather than me guessing.... | 19:23 |
| g_0_0 | joeoshawa, try any magnet link first | 19:23 |
| joeoshawa | or one you can point me too | 19:23 |
| lqgr00ve | actionparsnip: unfortunately that is not the case. might you suggest something else that might be of more use? | 19:23 |
| joeoshawa | one sec | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuWantaBe: then it will be in ~/.wine/drive_c | 19:23 |
| xrdodrx | ActionParsnip, yeah, all you have to do is build-dep fontforge and install build-essential, then ./configure, make and make install. easy enough :D | 19:23 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | I am sorry | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | lqgr00ve: then your data is disposable. You have learned the value of backups the hardest way possible | 19:24 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | I forget this is all about a system that is alien to windows | 19:24 |
| guntbert | moes: what happened when you dragged it onto the icon? | 19:24 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | thanks | 19:24 |
| lqgr00ve | actionparsnip: i have a back-up of most of my data, only the most recent is lost. | 19:24 |
| Gringostar | I have ubuntu10.04 & winXP on my laptop, if I format ubuntu did it erease GRUB? Can I still use WinXP? | 19:24 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuWantaBe: giving details to an issue isn't OS specific | 19:24 |
| moes | guntbert, Have not tried that been dragging to floppy0 | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | lqgr00ve: you can use foremost, you will need a partition big enough to spit the resulting data out to mounted as writable | 19:25 |
| motaka2 | Is there anyway to recover grub without live cd ? | 19:25 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | got it / hmm by the way what is a grub in unbuntu I see it everywhere the word that is | 19:25 |
| steven__ | Sorry ActionParsnip, doesn't appear your solution worked. I'm still noticing major interruptions/skipping when my processor incurs any activity. just tried opening a word processor then and it stopped completely for over a minute. anyone have any suggestions? | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntuWantaBe: its a bootloader | 19:25 |
| guntbert | moes: what happened? I'm going to recommend command line | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | steven__: what video chip? | 19:26 |
| ubuntuWantaBe | I have a long road ahead of me | 19:26 |
| moes | gunbert nothing happened | 19:26 |
| Aikar | is there another music player that integrates into the sound indicator applet nicely like rythymbox? | 19:26 |

| ccd | ZenGuy311: no prob. I have never used the built in VNC... what is it called vino? where do I send him to start it? Does it come pre-installed on netbook edition? | 19:28 |
| steven__ | gives me a print program version (B.02.14) | 19:28 |
| guntbert | moes: 1) type mount to see where the floppy is mounted, 2) locate the place where you downloaded the driver | 19:28 |

| ActionParsnip | white_magic: no idea about debian as I don't use it, nor is it supported here | 19:40 |
| white_magic | well i just said debian to be generic. i use ubuntu myself | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | white_magic: its a different distro, its not "generic" at all | 19:41 |
| pauljw | Jonii^, yw=you're welcome | 19:41 |
| white_magic | well if an app is made for debian, since ubuntu is debian-based, won't it work on it as well? | 19:41 |
| xrdodrx | white_magic, not necessarily | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !debian | white_magic | 19:42 |
| ubottu | white_magic: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process.

| Yoneh | Can I someway add an application menu, like Games, as a folder on my Ubuntu desktop? | 19:47 |
| steven__ | ActionParsnip: I only have firefox so i'm not sure. but it happens outside of the browser, when i open some programs and such. | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | steven__: install chromium-browser and try in that | 19:47 |
| Dumi | hi,can someone help me to make dual-boot (ubuntu 10.10 , winxp) | 19:48 |
| steven__ | ActionParsnip: OK I'll try it. That won't workout the problems outside internet browsing though eh? | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | steven__: not sure, possibly | 19:48 |
| steven__ | ActionParsnip: I'll try google chrome and see what happens | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Dumi: install XP to a portion of the drive space, then install Ubuntu to the unpartitioned space and the dualboot will be handled for you | 19:49 |
| Dumi | ActionParsnip can you talk to private? | 19:49 |
| Lulu58e2 | Dumi, Ubuntu is friendly to other OSes, XP is not | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Dumi: I dont support in PM | 19:49 |

| joeoshawa | all the ports are open and yes i forwarded the ports a long time ago but now this computer is the only one connected and a completely open connection | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | cg2916: depends on needs really, for standard desktopuse its fine | 19:59 |
| cg2916 | ActionParsnip: Ok | 20:00 |
| Dumi | ActionParsnip,i try the commands you said and it's not working | 20:00 |
| mneptok | joeoshawa: not blocking ports is NOT THE SAME as forwarding ports | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | cg2916: yeah its not stupid and bloated like windows | 20:00 |
| Random832 | řrr | 20:00 |
| joeoshawa | i had the ports forwarded | 20:00 |
| Random832 | oops | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Dumi: did you see windows in the screen output | 20:00 |
| joeoshawa | torrents work not magnets tho | 20:00 |
| joeoshawa | how could it be the router | 20:01 |
| Dumi | ActionParsnip yes,it is in grub.cfg and it's show on selection screen but when i choose,it's freeze 2 sec on black screen | 20:01 |
| joeoshawa | not to mention its pretty easy to find a computer on a totally open connection when its the only one there | 20:01 |

| Arachon | Or well, it may be needed in rare cases | 20:16 |
| Arachon | But generally not | 20:16 |
| tensorpudding | It's always a security risk to have people with admin access | 20:17 |

| joeoshawa | how do i open a port in ubuntu | 20:26 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: the iptables firewall (ubuntu firewall) should be open by default | 20:26 |
| ZenGuy311 | joeoshawa: I think the port you need to open up is on the router | 20:26 |
| Arachon | This is funny... My wireless connections get's quite a significant bit slower when I unplug my laptop from the charger... Any ideas why? | 20:27 |
| Arachon | Running on 10.10 | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Arachon: the signal is weaker due to power saving | 20:27 |
| joeoshawa | everyone i know says ubuntu all ports are closed by default | 20:27 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: they are open by default | 20:27 |
| ikonia | joeoshawa: sudo iptables -L will confirm this | 20:27 |
| joeoshawa | and all are open on my router | 20:27 |
| Arachon | ikonia: Thing is, I'm fairly certain this did not happen on 10.04 | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Arachon: power saving improved in 10.10 | 20:28 |
| leapy0yo | the program "beep" does not beep the sound speaker of my motherboard. Is there another way to do that? | 20:28 |

| ikonia | Cataclysm: what's the extension on the file ?# | 20:38 |

| Arachon | I can't seem to be able to find the power manager/schemes documentation... | 20:38 |
| ikonia | Cataclysm: that's probably because it has the execute bit set on it | 20:39 |
| leapy0yo | raido, hi, beep beeps only my monitor's speakers not the motherboard one | 20:39 |
| ikonia | Cataclysm: it's quite a reasonable thing to ask for an executable, do you want to open it, or execute it | 20:39 |
| Cataclysm | ikonia would that be b/c i transferred it from my windows install? how would i remove it? | 20:39 |
| leapy0yo | what is the motherboard speaker device name | 20:39 |
| jack_ | chmod -x <file> | 20:39 |

| davidw | ikonia, I should specify: it works most of the time - sometimes it starts to shutdown and freezes | 20:53 |
| ikonia | davidw: I wonder if it's something as simple as a problem with certain hardware device's support and it's just locking the hardware, more so if it's intermitent | 20:54 |

| davidw | yeah it's probably a buggy driver or something... it's got a broadcom chip (dammit) | 20:54 |
| ikonia | moes: how did you extract it in 8.04 | 20:54 |
| Necromankas | I have a confession to make... | 20:55 |
| Necromankas | Well, I lost the game | 20:55 |
| ikonia | davidw: broadcom + ati = always a problem | 20:55 |
| ikonia | Necromankas: what ? | 20:55 |
| ikonia | davidw: not that I am saying it's "fact" or an excuse | 20:55 |
| Necromankas | YOu know, the game. | 20:55 |

| jhaig | ikonia: Yes | 20:59 |
| ikonia | jhaig: I assume you've told it to not only look for LTS releases in the update-manager gui ? | 20:59 |
| jhaig | ikonia: Yes, it has found that there is an upgrade to 10.10, but it is failing. | 21:00 |

| ikonia | jhaig: same erros as in the forum post you made | 21:00 |
| wladston | any clues ? | 21:00 |
| joeoshawa | or i can set to udp only | 21:00 |
| ikonia | wladston: what version of Linux are you trying ? | 21:00 |
| leapy0yo | raido, nope. i am simply going to forget about it | 21:00 |
| wladston | ikonia: maverick ppc | 21:00 |
| ikonia | wladston: whooa, that's unusual, for some rason it can't do a bind mount for /proc, that's the issue, the question is why....and without more info, I don't know | 21:01 |
| wladston | ikonia: that's my deboostrap command : debootstrap --arch powerpc maverick /mnt/ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu | 21:01 |

| Mrokii | Hello. Not sure if this is offtopic, but I have found out that my router has opened more than 20 ports via UPnP and I wanted to know if there is a way to find out, which app has opened which port. | 21:01 |
| jhaig | ikonia: I haven't contributed to that forum thread, I just found it by searching for the errors in apt.log | 21:01 |
| ikonia | jhaig: yes, but is it the same error ? | 21:01 |
| wladston | ikonia: yeah .. I have no idea how could I possibly debug that :/ | 21:02 |
| wladston | ikonia: if you could give me any advice | 21:02 |
| ikonia | wladston: manually trying a proc bind mount is a good start | 21:02 |
| ikonia | wladston: manually building a chroot is a good call too, just to test it | 21:02 |
| magicianlord | is it ok to see 'failed to preconfigure with exit statu 255 when installing a package? | 21:02 |
| * wladston searches what a proc bind mount is | 21:02 | |
| jhaig | ikonia: Yes, although I haven't checked that it is exactly the same broken packages in apt.log. The main error is what I saw, though. | 21:02 |
| ikonia | magicianlord: it's not great, but it's also not the end of the world | 21:02 |
| Mrokii | I mean, I wanted to find out which applications have requested to open which ports via UPnP | 21:03 |
| magicianlord | ikonia: it happens because the tmp directory is a tmpfs | 21:03 |

| sjb | Radeon HD Mobility 5650 | 21:04 |
| ikonia | sjb: ok, you need to look if they support the HDMI port using the version you are using and against the card you are using | 21:04 |
| sjb | where can I do that? | 21:04 |
| ikonia | jhaig: if you realise that, please don't post a forum post that has nothing to do with your problem and say it's the same error | 21:04 |
| ikonia | sjb: in the release notes | 21:04 |
| sjb | okay | 21:04 |
| gnewb | sjb: One moment,,, | 21:04 |
| magicianlord | what does the error message mean. what impact does it have on install filed | 21:04 |
| ikonia | jhaig: is that pastebin from your error log ? | 21:05 |
| gnewb | sjb: Maybe here>http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog | 21:05 |
| jhaig | From my /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log, yes. | 21:05 |

| gnewb | sjb: You are welcome. | 21:06 |
| wladston | ikonia: was the chroot supposed to work ? | 21:06 |
| ikonia | jhaig: that looks idenical to the error log from the 11.04 upgrade on the forum, that's worrying | 21:06 |
| ikonia | wladston: you're chroot is not setup, you need all the binaries and such in place from within your chroot | 21:06 |

| ikonia | magicianlord: no | 21:07 |
| magicianlord | is it faster or cuter | 21:07 |
| ikonia | magicianlord: 11.04 can be discussed in #ubuntu+1 | 21:07 |
| sjb | okay so I found the video card in there, but in a different laptop. So, it should probably work with some teaking | 21:07 |
| ikonia | magicianlord: no | 21:07 |
| sjb | http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/model/pci:68E0:1002-VIDEO | 21:07 |
| wladston | ikonia: you said something about manually doing a chroot enviroment ... could you point me to any documentation explaning that ? | 21:07 |
| ikonia | wladston: I have no documentation to hand that explains how to setup a full chroot | 21:07 |
| jhaig | ikonia: How so? Should it have been fixed? | 21:09 |
| Rask | If I'm running on Ubuntu and I want to install KATE, am I going to make a hash of things? as a KDE app, it has an awful lot of dependencies, which worries me some. | 21:09 |
| ikonia | jhaig well, I guess the first question is it really trying to go to 10.10 or 11.04, to me 11.04, but I don't know for certain | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Rask: let the package manager do it all for you | 21:09 |
| ikonia | Rask: there will be no problems | 21:09 |
| Rask | Okay. :O | 21:09 |
| ikonia | jhaig: then the second question is if it IS going to 10.10 why is it looking at packages that appear to be from 11.04 | 21:10 |
| LjL | Rask: it *will* take up several... hundreds? megabytes, though | 21:10 |
| ikonia | jhaig: those are the two core questions for me | 21:10 |
| Rask | LjL: If that's the worst that can be said of it, I'll be okay, I was just worried that crossbreeding gnome and kde was a recipe for disaster | 21:10 |
| jhaig | ikonia: Update Manager says "New Ubuntu release '10.10' is available". It shouldn't see 11.04 unless I explicitly say I want an alpha release, should it? | 21:10 |
| LjL | Rask: nah, it works fine, especially since the dependencies don't include the actual KDE desktop, so you won't get (many) new KDE menu items and the like | 21:10 |
| ikonia | jhaig: agreed, but those packages match the 11.04 error ont he forum | 21:11 |
| jhaig | (I didn't even think that 11.04 had got to alpha yet) | 21:11 |
| === pepsi6 is now known as JohnBonham | ||
| ikonia | jhaig: if you find the answers for those two questions you can progress it, however I hve to leve now | 21:11 |

| gnewb | Rask: I am on Lubuntu, running Openbox as WM, some Gnome programs, some KDE programs and other stuff in the mix, is all good but I still strongly encourage backups. | 21:12 |
| Uhu | Hey, I have got this error: http://pastebin.com/0ADQdd1q - Do I have to worry? | 21:12 |
| Slix` | I need to kill a process that is infinitely looping. How? | 21:12 |
| Rask | gnewb: Encourage backups? o.o HOw do you mean? | 21:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Slix`: killall processname | 21:13 |
| B-r00t | Slix`: killall process name or PID | 21:13 |
| gnewb | !backup | Rask | 21:13 |
| ubottu | Rask: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Slix`: or you can find out its PID and kill the PID | 21:13 |
| Rask | gnewb: Nono, I get that, but I was wondering how backups connected to the discussion of mixing KDE and GNOME. | 21:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Slix`: if itrefuses to die, use: kill -9 processname | 21:13 |
| Rask | gnewb: That is, if there was something that'd make me more vulnerable to data loss | 21:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Slix`: if its owned by another user, you will need to prfix with sudo | 21:14 |
| Slix` | Thanks. | 21:14 |
| gnewb | Rask: Yes it does, some overlapping code can cause instability, it happens. | 21:15 |

| revslowmo | So xrandr has no other monitor options, what gives. I have one resolution. when I make a xorg.conf file I get all the options but video playback is black. | 21:22 |
| vitorleite | is ok to play or is better play in windows? | 21:22 |
| cazcy | is it possible to make a file transfer via telnet to a remote pc , without needing to install multiple packages ? | 21:22 |
| ActionParsnip | vitorleite: depends on the game, some run amazingly (Doom3 for example) | 21:23 |
| [TK]D-Fender | vitorleite: Of course its better to run windows games in windows | 21:23 |
| Zelozelos | vitorleite, whine is emulating a dos environment in a linux one, so its translating a translation... maybe simple games will work | 21:23 |
| _Zaphod_ | i know unzoo was removed because zoo extracts, BUT a program i wan tot use expects unzoo to exist. | 21:23 |

| esotericguy | I've been trying to install ubuntu on my new toshiba satellite, and i've been running into all kinds of problems. Turns out the only way to get it to boot from CD is to remove the hard drive. But once Ubuntu starts to boot i put the hd back in but Ubuntu can't find it. | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | shriven: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.10/release/ | 21:31 |
| rooferdave | i know it a long shot (compiling kernel) :http://cyanogenmod.pastebin.com/a0NwVvuM | 21:31 |
| [TK]D-Fender | esotericguy: there is a function key to press to change the boot order | 21:31 |
| Darael | ActionParsnip: I'll try that. Cheers. The only reference I had found before involved either getting it direct from Adobe Labs (which I'd rather avoid because I like having as much as possible in the package manager) or a PPA I didn't particularly trust. | 21:31 |
| [TK]D-Fender | it was one of F2, F10, or F12 | 21:31 |
| esotericguy | There's no boot options (F8,F2,F12) so this is the only way i've been able to boot to cd | 21:31 |
| esotericguy | [TK]D-Fender: no function key options | 21:31 |
| esotericguy | it will hang at a blinking _ | 21:32 |
| [TK]D-Fender | esotericguy: I've done it on Satelites before... | 21:32 |
| shriven | ActionParsnip: Thanks, althought that doesn't actually say what the difference is. | 21:32 |
| [TK]D-Fender | esotericguy: Have you checked your CD on another system first? | 21:32 |
| lordjj | try pressing [Del] | 21:32 |
| Jonii^ | how do I list devices? | 21:32 |
| shriven | Perhaps there is no difference, and what was AMD64 builds are now called amd64+Mac? | 21:32 |
| esotericguy | [TK]D-Fender: the cd works, yes | 21:32 |
| Jonii^ | Like, all the file storage device things that are connected? | 21:32 |
| esotericguy | i'm able to boot into the CD after removing the hard drive. but after that it doesn't detect the hard drive. | 21:33 |
| esotericguy | (i'm plugging it back in of course) | 21:34 |
| ThinkT510 | shriven: amd64 is the processor (64bit intel or amd) and mac is often ppc | 21:34 |
| shriven | no, these builds are not for ppc | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | shriven: its for a PPC chip,the "normal" isos are for x86 compatible CPUs | 21:34 |
| shriven | that is a separate image, aptly labeled, powerpc | 21:34 |
| [TK]D-Fender | esotericguy: Something does sond kinda off... | 21:34 |
| brontosaurusrexw | there is no official ppc release | 21:34 |
| Darael | Jonii^: running 'mount' will show the ones that are mounted, which is a start. Anything else probably has a device file in /dev. Also try using lsusb to find usb devices. | 21:34 |

| esotericguy | well, i'm going to press every function key and hope for the best. | 21:37 |

| erUSUL | MrGando: why are you doing such a thing ? | 21:38 |
| MrGando | erUSUL: what thing ? ... | 21:38 |
| antonio__ | i didint understand :S | 21:38 |
| magicianlord | is 10.04.3 out? | 21:38 |
| lordjj | can someone tell me how to use cpufrequtils? | 21:38 |
| Rask | I use network shares for some things, what's the best way for me to mount them in a way that a KDE app like Kate can see them even though I'm running Ubuntu? When I'm logged into a server I can see in Ubuntu, Kate's file open dialog doesn't see it. | 21:38 |
| erUSUL | MrGando: updating apt | 21:38 |
| shriven | magicialord: I could be wrong, but judging from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ looks like not | 21:39 |
| ActionParsnip | magicianlord: not until 29th July 2011 | 21:39 |
| MrGando | erUSUL: well I need apt to support 302 redirection, my current version doesn't seem to support it | 21:39 |

| erUSUL | MrGando: dist-upgrade to ubuntu 10.10 | 21:41 |
| shriven | So nobody knows why there is now a discrepancy in 64bit images? There are now 64-bit PC and 64-bit Mac. I would very much like to know what "This image is adjusted to work properly on Mac systems." actually entails. | 21:41 |
| tdiso | how can i see the list of packages an added repository has available? | 21:41 |
| MrGando | erUSUL: you are recommending me to do a dist upgrade to update apt-get ? | 21:41 |
| erUSUL | shriven: Mac uses efi so i susect the images for mac are tailored to systems using efi instead of traditional bios | 21:42 |
| shriven | That is my suspicion as well, hoping to confirm that somewhere. | 21:42 |

| Darael | MrGando: Why exactly do you want apt to be at a version other than that in the repository? If you really need v0.8.1 you'll have to compile it; the versions in Ubunt go from 0.7.25 in Lucid to 0.8.3 in Maverick. | 21:43 |
| d9500 | actually, im not sure, but i would gues erUSUL is right about efi | 21:43 |
| Rask | Hm. Okay, I just moved the taskbar (or whatever it's called) to the right side of the screen and expanded it some, but it's caused the show-desktop icon to become ridiculously gigantic. How can I return it to a reasonable size yet have my taskbar be wide enough to read the labels? | 21:43 |
| Darael | Rask: GNOME doesn't do vertical panels very well at all. It may not be doable. Suggested workaround: Set a show-desktop keyboard shortcut and use that. | 21:45 |
| MrGando | Darael: I need apt-get to support 302 redirection. I want to install jenkins CI in my server... the developers of jenkins have made a special repo and apt-get script but 302 redirection is needed ( and I think it's supported by apt-get >= 0.8 | 21:45 |

| gsp2009 | hey everyone. Two part question. 1. Can I recompile ubuntu kernel so that it is specific only to my hardware? 2. Is there any performance benefit to this? | 21:48 |

| erUSUL | gsp2009: marginally; not worth the trouble imho | 21:49 |
| rmd_ | gsp2009: Yes, and no. | 21:49 |
| xtrac | okay here is my problem: when I click on an mp3 it will open vlc but when i click on another mp3 it will open a seperate vlc instead of playing int he one that is already open | 21:49 |
| xtrac | how do I fix this? | 21:49 |
| [TK]D-Fender | gsp2009: ask in #gentoo ;) | 21:49 |
| antonio__ | is there any way to make my tv tuner work on ubuntu? | 21:49 |

| AndroidKrisPhone | How do I get xchat on ubuntu? | 21:49 |
| xtrac | I am using ubuntu | 21:49 |
| Darael | gsp2009: You could do but you'd have to maintain it yourself. The overhead in your time more than cancels the performance benefit. Using a targeted initrd, if you have the option, is much more likely to give you an overall benefit because it should be fire-and-forget. | 21:49 |
| tlab | I have ubuntu 10.10 64bit on a laptop with an hdmi out... so it shows two sound cards, but I have no sound and have tried several different things to no luck, anyone had this problem? | 21:49 |
| magpiie | i think there is a setting in vlc that allows it to open new files in the same window | 21:49 |
| gsp2009 | [TK]D-Fender: haha... you can now see that I am exploring all options... | 21:49 |
| iflema | xtrac: in vlc, by default it opens mutiple instances... just turn it off | 21:50 |
| xtrac | magpiee would you know where vaugley? | 21:50 |
| xtrac | vagley | 21:50 |
| joeoshawa | AndroidKrisPhone, sudo apt-get install xchat | 21:50 |
| AndroidKrisPhone | Ubuntu noob, what's that? | 21:50 |
| magpiie | not sure exactly, try preferences, i will have a look now | 21:50 |

| * AndroidKrisPhone is ubuntu noob | 21:50 | |
| xrdodrx | AndroidKrisPhone, open a terminal and type that | 21:51 |
| rmd_ | Where does Empathy store account information, logs, etc? | 21:51 |
| gsp2009 | Darael, erUSUL, rmd_: thanks. Back to the drawing board. | 21:51 |
| xrdodrx | AndroidKrisPhone, it's also in ubuntu software center | 21:51 |
| xrdodrx | choose internet | 21:51 |
| erUSUL | rmd_: account info probably in gconf. | 21:51 |
| xtrac | iflema, k | 21:51 |
| xtrac | iflema, thanks | 21:51 |
| [TK]D-Fender | AndroidKrisPhone: just type in "xchat" and OMG it's a miracle | 21:51 |
| joeoshawa | AndroidKrisPhone, just open the software center and type xchat | 21:51 |
| xtrac | also how to I prevent mp3 previes from playing when hovering my cursor over the icon??? | 21:52 |
| joeoshawa | AndroidKrisPhone, click on install | 21:52 |
| gsp2009 | [TK]D-Fender: so out of curiosity. What route would you take. You obviously run both. | 21:52 |

| magpiie | My cd rom will not play movies, When i isert a disk, it reads it, then opens the media player window, but will not play, I am running ubuntu 10.10 maverick recently installed. Any ideas? | 21:52 |
| rmd_ | erUSUL: I don't see anything about Empathy there. :-/ | 21:52 |
| [TK]D-Fender | gsp2009: Nothing is "obvious". Including your actual needs | 21:52 |
| joeoshawa | magpiie, install ubuntu restricted extras | 21:53 |
| [TK]D-Fender | gsp2009: These days that 1% extra efficiency you'll save won't be worth the hours and hours of trying to do things the hard way | 21:53 |
| magpiie | is restricted extras in the sepository? | 21:53 |
| magpiie | sorry, repository | 21:53 |
| antonio__ | hello | 21:54 |

| gsp2009 | [TK]D-Fender: after the time spent exploring the options, I am coming to that conclusion. I was hoping that the performance increase would be better than it actually would be. | 21:54 |
| erUSUL | rmd_: i do not use empathy :/ | 21:54 |
| [TK]D-Fender | gsp2009: So what isn't "good enough" for you as it is? | 21:55 |
| Fab | hello | 21:56 |
| d9500 | xtrac: tools-->preferences-->then under "instances" check in the box for allow only one instance | 21:57 |
| joeoshawa | magpiie, go into the software center and type in ubuntu restricted extras | 21:57 |
| d9500 | sorry iflema didnt realize you'd answered earlier and weren't the original asker. | 21:57 |
| gnychis_ | does VLC support GPU acceleration in Ubuntu? | 21:57 |
| joeoshawa | magpiie, then click install | 21:57 |
| gsp2009 | [TK]D-Fender: seems sluggish. I am convinced that upgrades since 8.04 have caused some issues with performance. Little things creep up that are annoying. For example. I can find no explanation why when I telinit 3 from recovery, and then sign in as a user, session starts in xfce when that particular user's default is gnome. | 21:57 |

| irchatter | How do I backup my home folder's contents to my external hard drive with rysnc? | 21:58 |
| raido | irchatter: rsync -rv ~/ /path/to/usbdrive | 21:59 |
| d9500 | gnychis_: IIRC, only through use of VAAPI, but there's a VDPAU wrapper | 21:59 |
| gsp2009 | [TK]D-Fender: that is one of many little things. I may be better served by just wiping and reinstalling 10.10 fresh. Who knows. | 21:59 |
| magpiie | ok thanks, doing that now. Who was having the trouble with vlc opening a new window when a new song is selected? | 21:59 |
| Darael | irchatter: "rsync -rav ~/ /media/drive/backup-folder" is a good start, but be aware that you'll have problems with permissions later if the drive is formatted NTFS or FAT. | 21:59 |
| Darael | irchatter: ...and most of them are, out of the box. | 22:00 |
| magpiie | i have treied looking for the setting but no joy, i may be looking too hard, i know its there becasue i have used it before | 22:00 |
| raido | irchatter: read the man page on look it up online, rsync is awesome | 22:00 |
| irchatter | raido: I did that, but from the man pages, I still don't understand the chmod flag. | 22:00 |
| d9500 | magpiie: xtrac was, but iflema and i already answered | 22:00 |
| magpiie | ahh k, | 22:00 |
| tensorpudding | irchatter: i think you want the -z flag too | 22:00 |
| raido | irchatter: you dont need to set that | 22:01 |
| [TK]D-Fender | gsp2009: Depends on what you have that is worth keeping a multi-upgraded setup intact for. | 22:01 |
| d9500 | magpiie: yours doesn't have the prefs option? | 22:01 |
| tensorpudding | irchatter: -z compresses the data before transferring, costing extra cpu time but saving bandwidth | 22:01 |
| Darael | tensorpudding: -z is compression during transfer, isn't it? That's only useful if there's a network connection involved. | 22:01 |
| magpiie | ok, i have another issue, its nothing much but just really annoying, i plug in my headphones, and i still get sound out of the speakers, as well as the headphones | 22:01 |
| tensorpudding | oh, i misread the question | 22:01 |
| [TK]D-Fender | gsp2009: In my own case I install a rather select bunch of things and have simply reinstalled from scratch at times jsut for the warm & fuzzy feelings of knowing nthing legacy is going to creep up on me | 22:01 |
| Jonii^ | Why does Ubuntu version of VLC break down when you try to play .mkv that is split in multiple video files? | 22:01 |
| ccdc | hi, ubuntu noob here, can anyone help me start listening on port 22 from the terminal? | 22:01 |
| irchatter | tensorpudding: No, I don't need that. I just just want to have all the files with chmod=400 | 22:02 |
| tensorpudding | ccdc: start what listening? | 22:02 |
| Jonii^ | While Windows works flawlessly | 22:02 |
| magpiie | i go to preferences under tools, but i cant find it lol | 22:02 |
| martin8412 | cdrz: You mean SSH? | 22:02 |
| ccdc | ssh | 22:02 |
| ccdc | yes | 22:02 |
| Darael | ccdc: If you want to run an SSH server (which is the default for SSH) you need to install openssh-server. | 22:02 |
| martin8412 | sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start | 22:02 |
| ccdc | thank you | 22:02 |
| tensorpudding | ccdc: install the openssh-server package | 22:02 |
| raido | ccdc, just open the port, not run ssh right | 22:02 |
| magpiie | ok ignore me, i found it lol | 22:02 |
| tensorpudding | it will be configured and started automatically | 22:02 |
| ccdc | tensorpudding and martin: thank you | 22:03 |
| Darael | ccdc: May I suggest looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/ | 22:03 |
| gsp2009 | [TK]D-Fender: very hesitant to invest the time, if I am not sure of the benefit. I would say that my least painful option is a fresh reinstall of 10.10. I have alot invested in this workstation time wise. Well, thanks for the insight. | 22:03 |
| Rask | Jordan_U: I'm having some trouble using .gvfs, I have some shares mounted and I'm trying to copy some fonts, but I'm getting permission denied trying to access ~rask/.gvfs/ ... as root. o_o How does that work? | 22:03 |
| raido | ccdc: if you just want to open that port, use "netcat" man netcat | 22:03 |
| irchatter | I just need read access for the owner, but don't know how to implement it into rysnc | 22:04 |
| vitorleite | how can I install a .tar.gz file? | 22:04 |
| raido | irchatter: is the USB drive formatted with FAT? | 22:04 |
| irchatter | raido: No, EXT4 | 22:05 |
| ccdc | raido: i'll try that. the reason is I want to use PuTTy to ssh from window to ubuntu on my local network | 22:05 |
| Jordan_U | Rask: Can you copy the files as your user? It may be that you don't have permissions on the remote server, in which case your local priveleges would mean nothing. | 22:05 |
| Jonii^ | Or, additionally, which media player is suggested that I'd use, if VLC doesn't work right? | 22:05 |
| roygbiv | vitorleite it depends. what is the file? | 22:05 |
| raido | irchatter: then you dont want to limit all files to ro, you wont be able to open directories then | 22:05 |
| vitorleite | .tar.gz | 22:05 |
| gnychis_ | d9500: i'm running 10.10 and i tried to install vdpau-va-driver, but it says it couldn't find the package. I see it in the repo: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/vdpau-va-driver | 22:05 |
| magpiie | ok i have 3d desktop set up with 6 work areas, unfortunatly i cannot enable desktop wall due to conflicts, i need to because i hate it when it switches desktop when cursor hits edge of monitor, is there a way to resolve this without enabling desktop wall in compiz? | 22:05 |
| Jonii^ | If I need to use something other than VLC, how to deal with codecs? | 22:05 |
| vitorleite | i already have the file, but I need to install that | 22:05 |
| irchatter | raido: Now I'm confused. | 22:06 |
| Rask | Jordan_U: I suppose, I'm just wondering if that's the only way to do it - presumably if I do or don't sudo the copy it'll fail either way - I don't sudo, I don't have the privileges to access the fonts directory, I do sudo, I lose the privileges to access the server ... this seems odd to me. | 22:06 |
| vitorleite | wow | 22:06 |
| Darael | irchatter: use --chmod=go= to remove all perms from other users. | 22:06 |
| vitorleite | i found | 22:06 |
| guntbert | vitorleite: that is just a compressed archive, not an installer | 22:06 |
| roygbiv | vitorleite well .tar.gz files usually have no installer application with them. you usually just unpack it in a chosen directory | 22:06 |
| jon__ | magpiie: there is an option in compiz that will allow you to disable worspace switching on mouse trigger. | 22:06 |
| vitorleite | but | 22:06 |
| vitorleite | how can i use that? | 22:06 |
| raido | irchatter: in POSIX os's directories have to be executable to open them | 22:06 |
| jon__ | give me a sec i'ff ind it for you. | 22:06 |
| Darael | vitorleite: What are you trying to install. | 22:06 |
| Jordan_U | Rask: Can you or can you not copy the fonts as your own user? | 22:06 |
| vitorleite | because don't have any executable | 22:07 |
| vitorleite | i'm trying to install the hydra 5.9.1 | 22:07 |
| roygbiv | vitorleite: gzip -dc file.tar.gz | tar xf - | 22:07 |
| [TK]D-Fender | gsp2009: If nothing else.... | 22:07 |
| d9500 | gnychis_: what is the exact error you get when trying to install it? | 22:07 |
| vitorleite | thankz | 22:08 |
| irchatter | raido: Oh, okay. Thanks | 22:08 |
| roygbiv | np | 22:08 |
| [TK]D-Fender | gsp2009: You'll probably feel better for the rebuild vs trying to spackle yours to something resembling "sane" :) | 22:08 |
| gnychis_ | d9500: E: Couldn't find package vdpau-va-driver | 22:08 |
| gsp2009 | [TK]D-Fender: very true. | 22:08 |

| depesz | hi. is there anyone who could help me with getting dual head on laptop with ati? i read the howto, and it still doesn't work. perhaps i missed something, but I'm just very confused and frustrated | 22:08 |
| iflema | gnychis_: what component? is it in main, restricted, universe or multiverse. you may need to enable some repositories... | 22:09 |
| raido | irchatter: if you wnat to make all "files" ro after the rsync, then after its done do "find . /path/to/usbdrive/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;" | 22:09 |
| d9500 | gnychis_: is universe enabled as a repo on your machine? | 22:10 |
| raido | irchatter: but the beauty of rsync is that is preserves all the file data in the transfer | 22:10 |
| Jordan_U | Rask: Looks like it's a known problem, bug #225361 | 22:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 225361 in gvfs (Ubuntu) "other users don't have access to .gvfs" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/225361 | 22:10 |

| roygbiv | very well written and tested | 22:10 |
| magpiie | cheers jon, been doing my head in for the past 2 days | 22:10 |
| irchatter | raido: Thanks! | 22:11 |
| raido | irchatter: make that "444" in that command | 22:11 |
| irchatter | raido: Yes, I know. Thanks again | 22:11 |

| Raiscan | ActionParsnip: thank you for the help a couple of days ago. Just to follow up, now it's installed I didn't need to blacklist floppy at all, and the proprietary drivers solved my gfx problems :D | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Raiscan: neat :) | 22:25 |
| guntbert | !cli | magpiie | 22:25 |
| ubottu | magpiie: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Raiscan: glad it all worked out | 22:25 |
| Fwb2700 | Boot to live cd? | 22:25 |
| d9500 | magpiie: lspci=list pci devices (i think) basically "whats on my motherboard?" the | is called a "pipe" its used to filter the output of one command to another. grep is a command to search for strings of text. | 22:26 |
| Raiscan | Not sure what I'm going to do now I have it installed though... | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Fwb2700: yes, the cd you installed with has a desktop you ca run in RAM and you can do stuff to the partitions there | 22:26 |
| Fwb2700 | Why is this irc not working on my iPhone Arghhh | 22:26 |
| evofan106883 | hey guys\ | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Fwb2700: because iphone sucks | 22:26 |
| d9500 | magpiie: oh, and the -v is for verbose output--gives your more information about the devices | 22:26 |
| evofan106883 | how much space does ubuntu take up on a computer??? | 22:26 |
| Darael | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/572830/ - I reverted to the 32-bit flash because the 64-bit one wouldn't play nice with Chromium, but I did test it using Firefox. | 22:26 |
| d9500 | sorry | 22:27 |
| d9500 | hit tab too fast | 22:27 |
| Darael | evofan106883: Depends what you install. 4G is recommended minimum for an install. | 22:27 |
| magpiie | ok i opened terminal and typed the command, this was the response - 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) | 22:27 |

| shcherbak | tuzlo: on server, yes | 22:30 |
| Darael | evofan106883: Well, to install Ubuntu it's recommended you have fourg gigabytes of free space, but you'll want to install programs and so on so you'll want more than that. | 22:30 |
| tuzlo | I dont think I have server installed | 22:30 |

| insanity99 | ActionParsnip how to i add panel | 22:33 |
| Fwb2700_ | Im back please help me I need my files | 22:34 |
| Darael | insanity99: Right-click an existing panel and select "new panel". | 22:34 |
| d9500 | magpiie: ok so i'm guessing the driver is loaded from that output, and you do get sound--it just goes to both outputs instead of only one, right? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | insanity99: shows how: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto | 22:34 |

| ardent | can someone tell me where the menu is hidden on netbook remix? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | anr78: can't find it. I know it exists | 22:34 |
| magpiie | d9500 yeah thats right | 22:34 |
| evofan106883 | Darael: wat kind of a cd do i use??? | 22:34 |
| Fwb2700 | My laptop has crashed and I cannot boot. | 22:35 |
| Darael | evofan106883: A standard writable CD (a CD-R or CD-RW) will serve. | 22:35 |
| anr78 | ActionParsnip: found something for compiz, but that won't help me in a virtual machine, I guess :) | 22:35 |
| evofan106883 | ok | 22:35 |
| Fwb2700 | I have reinstalled ubuntu but it still won't boot | 22:35 |
| insanity99 | ok thanks | 22:35 |
| Fwb2700 | Anybody? | 22:35 |
| d9500 | magpiie: by the way, you might want to listen to ActionParsnip instead. My experience in troubleshooting sound is limited, and not all of what little i've leaned is ubuntu specific. the basic commands i give should work in terminal, but there might be ubuntu specific stuff that i don't know about | 22:35 |
| anr78 | I'm holding out for 11.04. Then I'll use Ubuntu as the primary OS on my MacBook Pro | 22:35 |
| Logan_WP | !please | Fwb2700 | 22:36 |
| ubottu | Fwb2700: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 22:36 |
| magpiie | ok thanks, who is parsnip? | 22:36 |
| magpiie | another channel? | 22:36 |
| Logan_WP | magpiie: ActionParsnip just left | 22:36 |
| mongy | anr78, place windows plugin for compiz? just enable 3D for your vm and install the additions, then you can use compiz | 22:37 |
| shcherbak | Fwb2700: do you get bios? | 22:37 |
| jon__ | basic input output service? | 22:37 |
| magpiie | ahh ok np, will try catch him/her next time | 22:37 |
| ardent | can someone tell me where the menu is hidden on netbook remix? | 22:37 |
| anr78 | mongy: ah. thanks for the tip | 22:37 |
| ardent | if I click the ubuntu Icon in the top left it brings up search | 22:37 |
| d9500 | magpiie: ActionParsnip was someone else who was in this channel a while ago. Another user was thanking him for his advice earlier, so i thought he might be a good source. He's the one who gave you the download link for the alsa script--but he left. | 22:37 |
| magpiie | another issue, i installed the restricted ubuntu ? for the video playback issue i had erlier, and i am still having the same problem, dvd mounts, then opens player, then refuses to play | 22:38 |
| mongy | actionparsnip is a long time regular helper in here, dont fret, he'll be back. | 22:38 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Yes I get partition erro no such partition | 22:38 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Grub rescue | 22:38 |
| magpiie | ok, i will keep an eye out for him next time he logs on | 22:38 |
| shcherbak | Fwb2700: live system or slave drive on another pc | 22:39 |
| ardent | does anyone know anything about netbook remix? | 22:39 |
| Darael | magpiie: You also need to install libdvdcss2. Either run /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh or add Medibuntu and install libdvdcss2. | 22:39 |
| d9500 | magpiie: http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Installing_Restricted_Formats. I think you have to install css decrypting manually | 22:40 |
| shcherbak | Fwb2700: make sure to get familiar with testdisk, and photorec | 22:40 |
| shcherbak | Fwb2700: do you have also M$ on this drive? | 22:40 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Its my laptop with one hard drive. I was dual booting win7 and ubuntu 10.10 but something hasgone wrong and it won't hoot anything | 22:40 |
| Darael | magpiie: This is because of legal issues in some countries. For Medibuntu, see the Repository Howto link at http://medibuntu.org | 22:40 |
| Fwb2700 | Boot not hoot lol sorry for bad spelling typing on phone as computer dead | 22:41 |
| shcherbak | Fwb2700: well, you could try to reinstall grub at first, but it looks like wired M$ mbr problem, did you install systems on same partition? | 22:42 |
| magpiie | Darael< cheers mate, that terminal command worked a treat, simpsons movie now playing | 22:42 |
| Darael | magpiie: No problem. DVDs could be more user-friendly but we have to work around legalities... if you want particularly restricted codecs for video files and similar, you'll have to add Medibuntu anyway, but you can always cross that when you run into it. | 22:43 |
| ardent | does anyone know anything about netbook remix? | 22:43 |
| Darael | !anyone | ardent | 22:43 |
| ubottu | ardent: 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. | 22:43 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Seperate partitions. Win 7 first was working fine.then later on added ubuntu both were working great till I formatted my external hard drive. Imploded that. Shutdown laptop last night. Just tried to tuen on and get no such partition error. I need my windows 7 files. | 22:43 |
| Darael | Fwb2700: Do you still have an Ubuntu live CD? Try booting that, see if you can find the files. It won't fix your boot process, but you can get to your files at least. For a fix, hang about in here, I'm sure someone will have one eventually. | 22:45 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: I am very new to ubuntu also which doesn't help | 22:45 |
| ardent | how do I get to the menu, if I click the ubuntu icon it brings up search, I don't want search I want to go to system | Darael | 22:45 |
| ardent | add: I was hoping someone might redirect me to a netbook remix channel | 22:46 |
| shcherbak | Fwb2700: do you have liveCD or usb with ubuntu insatll? | 22:47 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Yes I have the live cd. And yes I have just recovered files. I even just reinstalled ubuntu on another partition but it still gets stuck booting. I want to fix I don't want to have to lose all my programmes | 22:47 |
| === Mrokii is now known as Guest92803 | ||
| magpiie | ok cheers mate. now for my next issue, when i installed ubuntu the hard drive on my laptop had 2 partitions, i didnt know the correct format to instal onto 2 partitions so i opted to use the entire hd. now there is only one partition with the file system on, i have installed a partition manager program but because the main file system is on the entire hd, it wont let me resize it, is there anyway around this within ubuntu, or, do i h | 22:47 |
| ardent | how do I get to the menu, if I click the ubuntu icon it brings up search, I don't want search I want to go to system | 22:47 |
| Darael | ardent: The Netbook Remix works differently to normal Ubuntu; the main menu in the sense of Applications/Places/System doesn't exist. IIRC there's an "applications" button on the bar at the left... | 22:47 |
| dhiaeldeen1 | I like this | 22:48 |

| euthymos | I've tried uninstalling nvidia proprietary drivers, with no luck. Only kernel restore mode works | 23:05 |
| shcherbak | Fwb2700: win7 recovery, should cope with problem too, and is downloadable (torrent .i.e), still reinstaling grub takes 10 minutes at most, and you would know if this is issue. | 23:06 |

| tuzlo | Are there any decent totally iopen source CMS' out there? | 23:09 |
| tuzlo | open | 23:09 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Thanks for talking me through. Is difficult to read all the info you sent me on my phone | 23:10 |
| depesz | how can I install fglrx, if the "System->Administration->Additional Drivers" doesn't list it? | 23:10 |
| raido | tuzlo: drupal, plone | 23:10 |
| tuzlo | raido are they the better ones? | 23:11 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Its booting into cd now will tell you when Its up | 23:11 |
| MK` | :o hi | 23:11 |
| MK` | I started using Ubuntu this week :D | 23:11 |
| raido | tuzlo: they are all hard to use, that is as an admin | 23:11 |
| Fwb2700 | Any new zealanders here? | 23:11 |
| shcherbak | tuzlo: joomia? wordpress? or what is CMS | 23:11 |
| raido | tuzlo: drupal is by for more widely used | 23:11 |
| mongy | MK`, you have reached your destination | 23:11 |
| MK` | :P | 23:12 |
| tuzlo | pre packaged for ubuntu? | 23:12 |
| shcherbak | tuzlo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content_management_systems | 23:12 |
| Fwb2700 | Mk: me too but I here as I having issues :( | 23:12 |

| MK` | oh :( | 23:12 |
| phoenixsampras | how to convert videos for Iphones or Android phones? | 23:12 |
| mongy | depesz, what gfx card is it | 23:12 |
| Fwb2700 | MK`: Cant boot from hard drive | 23:12 |
| MK` | I've had it crash 2 times, I just assumed Windows left some residue on my keyboard | 23:12 |
| mongy | depesz, chances are, if it doesnt list it, its an old unsupported card, which the 'radeon' free driver supports nicelyl | 23:13 |
| mongy | nicely* | 23:13 |
| Fwb2700 | MK`: Well I cant open any os currently | 23:13 |
| depesz | mongy: it was listing it 2 hours ago. | 23:13 |
| MK` | The first time was right after I installed it, when I shut it down it didn't end the OS, gave an unknown user id 0 error. But when I booted it back up it worked fine (though my window theme changed) | 23:13 |
| depesz | mongy: i installed it, then I removed and switched temporarily to "radeon" driver | 23:13 |
| depesz | mongy: and now I'd like to go back to fglrx | 23:14 |
| mongy | depesz, oh.. well just apt-get install fglrx ? | 23:14 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Its at the install page | 23:14 |
| Jordan_U | phoenixsampras: Arista transcoder is nice, install it from Applications > Ubuntu Software Center | 23:14 |
| depesz | mongy: thanks. | 23:14 |
| mongy | depesz, I think using radeon after the fact replaces some files, which might have that effect.... just install it again manually | 23:14 |
| Fwb2700 | Arghhh now its frozen | 23:15 |
| mongy | depesz, its the modalias package I think... | 23:15 |
| dayglo98 | hello all | 23:15 |
| mongy | depesz, thats what jockey (additional drivers) uses to identify gfc cards capable of using fglrx.. as I said, go manual | 23:16 |
| ilovefairuz | hello dayglo98 | 23:16 |
| depesz | mongy: which manual? | 23:16 |
| depesz | mongy: or -= you mean: apt-get install fglrx | 23:16 |
| mongy | manual as in, manually | 23:16 |
| depesz | mongy: testing it now. | 23:16 |
| mongy | depesz, dont forget sudo | 23:17 |
| depesz | mongy: ok. did apt-get install. now I assume I should reboot. Should I already change driver in xorg to fglrx ? | 23:17 |
| Fwb2700 | Error: no such partition grub rescue> | 23:17 |
| mongy | depesz, shouldnt need an xorf.conf. in fact, if you have one left over from fglrx, radeon driver wont work | 23:17 |
| valdergallo | Hi, i need help with core limit ubuntu 10.10 ... i have one 4x and my process just take one core ... what i need to do for use 4x core on one process | 23:18 |
| mongy | xorg.conf** | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: What is output of "ls" at that rescue shell? | 23:18 |
| depesz | mongy: i have radeon now working. | 23:18 |
| phoenixsampras | Jordan_U: thanks bro | 23:18 |
| depesz | mongy: so i assume I should change xorg.conf to use fglrx now. | 23:18 |
| mongy | valdergallo, you need a process capable of using all cores. | 23:18 |
| Fwb2700 | Jordan_U: ???? | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | phoenixsampras: You're welcome. | 23:18 |
| mongy | depesz, Ive never needed to | 23:18 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: That "grub rescue> " is a prompt where you can run a very limited set of commands to try to recover from the problem. | 23:19 |
| valdergallo | mongy, im use mysql :D | 23:19 |
| valdergallo | mongy, mysql dont use all core ? | 23:19 |
| Fwb2700 | Jordan_U: Ok so how can I use it to get my laptop to boot? | 23:20 |
| Ockham | Hi, trying to figure out why most of the menu links I create never work. I just get blank screens. Or nothing. | 23:20 |
| mongy | valdergallo, only if it was compiled to use all your cores. | 23:20 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: First we need to discover what the problem is. Can you be on IRC and at the rescue shell at the same time (i.e. with different computers)? | 23:20 |
| valdergallo | mongy, lol ... tnx | 23:21 |
| mongy | valdergallo, normally, it wont, as to let you multitask better. something like ffmpeg -threads 4 or use a prog like soundconverter will use all cores. | 23:21 |
| Fwb2700 | Jordan_U: Yes as well the irc is on my phone. Only have one pc. Someone said I need to reinstall grub or something but I am very confused. I wish ubuntu was as simple as my iPhone | 23:21 |
| mongy | valdergallo, ubuntu/linux will see all your cores fine, its just upto the process wether it uses them | 23:22 |
| valdergallo | mongy, lol | 23:22 |
| Fwb2700 | Jordan_U: I have managed to boot ubuntu via my live cd. | 23:22 |
| valdergallo | mongy, tnx man :D | 23:22 |
| mongy | valdergallo, some processes have options to use more than 1 core, like I said, ffmpeg. | 23:23 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: Ok, then can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and post a link to the RESULTS.txt using http://pastebin.ubuntu.com ? | 23:23 |
| Fwb2700 | Jordan_U: I have no Internet on the laptop it won't connect to my wifi. Well I don't know how lol | 23:24 |

| Fwb2700 | Jordan_U: Only installed ubuntu last week and now all I having is issues :( | 23:26 |

| MarkB | How do I install .tar.bz2? | 23:26 |
| Dr_Willis | lunavorax_nb: i recall a 'system rescue' live cd. that had some tools specifically for such tasks. but never tried that feature. | 23:26 |
| lunavorax_nb | Simply files moved to the trash Jordan_U | 23:26 |
| Jordan_U | MarkB: Generally you don't. What are you actually trying to install? | 23:26 |
| mongy | Fwb2700, first find out what chipset it is. lspci -v | grep Network | 23:27 |
| MarkB | AssaultCube. | 23:27 |

| sinnis | hey! i want to plug an external monitor into my laptop and run a X server on each monitor (and different window managers in each X server), i think this can be done with Xrandr, but i really have no clue how to do that right - maybe you could give me a hint? | 23:40 |
| th0r | tuzlo: you could reinstall ubuntu | 23:40 |
| magpiie | that sorted it thanks | 23:40 |
| astrofinch | here's a more complete version of my output: http://pastebin.com/mRQ5KqJT | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | sinnis: its not really done with xrandr. What is the chipset in the laptop? nvidia+ the nvidia-settings tool makes doing that rather easy. | 23:41 |
| tuzlo | th0r, not really an option at this moment | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | sinnis: i really dont see much to gain by having a X server on each. | 23:41 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Special device Dev/sdb5 does not exist | 23:41 |
| Ampelbein | astrofinch: what does 'lsb_release -r' say? | 23:41 |
| enav | !doc jpagination | 23:42 |
| astrofinch | 9.10 | 23:42 |
| Ampelbein | astrofinch: and that looks like an outdated package list, did you run 'apt-get update' recently? | 23:42 |
| sinnis | Dr_Willis: no, something like intel... i think - i need two xservers to have the possibility to switch my window managers independently - just like pressing Ctrl+F1/2/3, no, hold on, this is can be done with just one X server, right? | 23:42 |
| astrofinch | no, thanks for the tip | 23:42 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Forgot a / added it now and it did nothing | 23:43 |
| magpiie | ok, now my next issue, I have ubuntu installed as one partition on my hd, how can i create 2 partitions? I have tried doing it using partition manager but it wont let me do anything with the file system partition, which is the entire hd. do i need to run ubuntu from a cd rom to do this? and if so, will i lose any data? | 23:43 |
| shcherbak | Fwb2700: good, try: cd /mnt && ls | 23:43 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Ok its mounted now what | 23:43 |
| sinnis | Dr_Willis: with xrandr i can already have one window manager running spread across the two monitors... | 23:43 |
| tuzlo | I somehow am not in the sudo users file anymore, what can I do to fix this other than re-installing Ubuntu. | 23:43 |
| Fwb2700 | shcherbak: Sdb5 is mounted what now | 23:44 |
| astrofinch | @Ampelbein: thanks, that seems to have fixed things! :D | 23:44 |
| magpiie | open terminal and type sudo before any commands, it will ask for your password | 23:44 |
| shcherbak | Fwb2700: let reinstall grub: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb | 23:44 |
| tuzlo | magpile I said I have been removed from the sudo list, that doesnt work | 23:44 |
| sinnis | Dr_Willis: usually i start my window managers with DISPLAY=:0 xinit /usr/bin/windowmanager -- :0 & <-- this is just ONE X server, right? | 23:45 |
| magpiie | ahh, i am not sure then, i am recently new to ubuntu myself and am still finding my way around | 23:45 |
| sharbour | tuzlo: you could try the recover disc | 23:45 |

| Jordan_U | !root | tuzlo | 23:48 |
| ubottu | tuzlo: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:48 |

| Ampelbein | tuzlo: you can't, root account has no valid password. why did you remove yourself from the sudoer file in the first place? | 23:48 |
| tuzlo | im not tryin to hack anything | 23:49 |

| Cannibal | i think i just screwed myself over | 23:54 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: The most likely problem is actually that you are booting from the wrong drive. | 23:54 |
| Fwb2700 | Jordan_U: It has only 1 | 23:54 |
| raido | tuzlo: you will need to boot into single user mode and fix it by adding your user back to the admin group. Still curious how you did this | 23:55 |
| Cannibal | while trying to go from Network Manager to Wicd, I can't seem to get Wicd to install | 23:55 |
| shcherbak | Jordan_U: why he does have /sdb ? | 23:55 |
| tuzlo | was tryin to add users | 23:55 |
| tuzlo | thats all | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: It's odd then that the drive is called /dev/sdb, normally with only one drive it would be /dev/sda. | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: Do you have any card reader or USB drive plugged in? | 23:55 |
| Ampelbein | tuzlo: with the graphical tool or from the command line? | 23:56 |
| Fwb2700 | My hard drive is partitioned | 23:56 |
| Cannibal | How do I install Wicd without an internet connection? | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: This has nothing to do with partitions. | 23:56 |
| shcherbak | Jordan_U: he apparently was formatting external hd... but how he swap drives | 23:56 |
| tuzlo | would sdb be set if he had master slave to slave? | 23:56 |
| bazhang | Cannibal, you have one now, presumably | 23:56 |
| bazhang | Cannibal, get the .deb | 23:56 |
| Cannibal | I'm on a different comp | 23:56 |
| tuzlo | it was thru an ssh connection, so command line | 23:56 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: Do you have any card reader or USB drive plugged in? | 23:56 |
| Cannibal | what is the .deb and how do I get it? | 23:56 |
| Fwb2700 | Jordan_U: Its a laptop. One 250gb hard drive one dvd drive nothing else plugged in at all | 23:57 |
| bazhang | Cannibal, then dpkg -i file.deb | 23:57 |
| === moon is now known as Guest57451 | ||
| Guest57451 | hi | 23:57 |
| Cannibal | can you repeat that in Noob? | 23:57 |
| th0r | Cannibal: go to packages.ubuntu.com, if they haven't changed the url lately | 23:57 |
| bazhang | Cannibal, packages.ubuntu.com check if there are any dependencies | 23:57 |
| Ampelbein | tuzlo: ok, then you must have used the wrong command, as none of the tools in ubuntu remove yourself from admin group automatically | 23:57 |
| Fwb2700 | My laptop is going out the window! Stupid f$@$ing thing arghh | 23:58 |
| Guest57451 | i am having a probem installing scribus | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: Was Ubuntu ever booting properly on this machine (from the hard drive, not the LiveCD)? | 23:58 |
| shcherbak | tuzlo: history > ~/WhatIDid && less ~/WhatIDit (&& read carefully) | 23:58 |
| Ampelbein | Guest57451: and what problem did you have? | 23:58 |
| Guest57451 | should i use paste bin to show the problem | 23:58 |
| bazhang | Guest57451, whats the error | 23:58 |
| tuzlo | is that a command? | 23:59 |
| Fwb2700 | Jordan_U: Yes both 7 and ubuntu were working fine for a week dual booting. Till this morning | 23:59 |
| raido | tuzlo: reboot into recovery mode, that will give you a root prompt, run this command "adduser tuzlo admin", then run "passwd" and choose a password for the root user. Then you can later login as root if you want. | 23:59 |
| Guest57451 | sudo apt-get install scribus | 23:59 |
| Guest57451 | [sudo] password for moon: | 23:59 |

| Guest57451 | Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have | 23:59 |

| ubottu | raido: We do not support setting a root password. Please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 23:59 |
| shcherbak | tuzlo: history -- it will show you what did you do | 23:59 |
| Jordan_U | Fwb2700: Did you install Ubuntu by booting from the LiveCD or did you install within windows (using wubi)? | 23:59 |
