| chaos2358 | Ampelbein, thank you very much. that is all i needed to know and the reason i simply asked for someone familiar with the program was to bypass the usual "thats illegal, it's un ethical, take that elsewhere" comments that arise when some one asks such a question to the general public. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mylisto | Pici: when I use the following command to restart apache "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart" I get | 00:00 |

| skutr3_ | hello? | 00:01 |
| Ampelbein | chaos2358: (off topic, so my last comment on that matter here) the question about the purpose of a command/program isn't illegal as such. you can use many programs for illegal stuff. | 00:01 |
| Pici | mylisto: Do you already have something already running on port 80? check sudo netstat -tanp | grep ":80" | 00:02 |
| skutr3_ | ok so videos and music on the internet cut out. i think it might be a flash problem... can anyone help? | 00:02 |
| Ampelbein | skutr3_: depends, what flash library are you using, what browser, what hardware? | 00:02 |
| mylisto | pici: heres the output from that command | 00:03 |
| mylisto | http://wordpress.pastebin.com/GZngbzBU | 00:03 |
| chaos2358 | Ampelbein, (agreed about being off topic) however MAny people in the channels have certain opinions which they choose to throw around quite liberally and are an utter waste of time, energy and channel traffic, But once again, thank you and have a good evening. | 00:03 |
| skutr3_ | Ampelbein: im using the flash plugin installed by default on ubuntu installation with google chrome (same problem on firefox) | 00:04 |
| Ampelbein | skutr3_: can you run 'dpkg -l | grep flash' and tell me what it says? use pastebin if it's multiple lines please | 00:05 |
| Pici | mylisto: Okay, now try: ps aux | 00:05 |
| Pici | mylisto: Okay, now try: ps aux | grep httpd | 00:05 |
| skutr3_ | Ampelbein : ii flashplugin-installer 10.2.152.27ubuntu0.10.10.1 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer | 00:06 |
| mylisto | here Pici: http://wordpress.pastebin.com/1gmVfgpC | 00:06 |
| Pici | mylisto: It looks like you're using some third-party lamp stack. | 00:07 |
| itaylor57 | skutr3_: I am running the same and I can view flash ok | 00:07 |
| mylisto | ok... | 00:07 |
| mylisto | like xammp? | 00:08 |
| Pici | mylisto: Just like that. | 00:08 |
| skutr3_ | itaylor57: hmmmm | 00:08 |
| Ampelbein | skutr3_: what processor type do you have? | 00:08 |
| Tech_Support | xxamp is for mac people | 00:08 |
| skutr3_ | Ampelbein: amd dual core | 00:08 |
| Pici | mylisto: Is there a reason you aren't using the versions of apache/mysql/etc that are in the Ubuntu repositiories? | 00:08 |
| mylisto | no idea... | 00:08 |
| mylisto | I'm a complete noob with this stuff | 00:08 |
| mylisto | how can I delete lamp/xammp and start from scratch? | 00:08 |
| Ampelbein | skutr3_: 32 or 64 bit ubuntu? | 00:09 |
| Pici | mylisto: I don't know, how did you install it? | 00:09 |
| skutr3_ | Ampelbein: 64 bit | 00:09 |
| magn3ts | Reminna won't open. In terminal it prints out a lot of information but no errors. Any tips? Strace gives nothing useful... | 00:09 |
| mylisto | I can't remember... | 00:09 |
| mylisto | think via command lines... | 00:09 |
| mylisto | I just installed apache a few minutes ago via sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 | 00:09 |
| mylisto | can I just delete lamp/xampp and redo everything correctly? | 00:10 |
| Ampelbein | skutr3_: ok, and what graphics adapter are you using? if it's nvidia, what driver? | 00:10 |
| skutr3_ | Ampelbein: how do i check that? | 00:10 |
| Ampelbein | skutr3_: 'lspci | grep VGA' | 00:11 |
| ramon | i have installed a PPA for gimp painter | 00:11 |

| jacekowski | hi | 00:11 |
| Pici | mylisto: I'd *guess* that you'd need to delete /opt/lampp, but unfortunately xampp's documentation is blank in the 'uninstalling xampp' section. | 00:12 |
| ramon | now how can i install gimp painter? | 00:12 |
| ramon | the ppa is from Mizuno | 00:12 |
| jacekowski | i have strange problem with my xorg, sometimes ( every 2-3 times ) instead of normal kdm i get that xorg failsafe window saying that xorg had problem starting and after selecting to restart xorg everything works fine | 00:13 |
| jacekowski | i'm using nvidia drivers | 00:13 |

| === marcos_ is now known as Daekdroom | ||
| Mission_Control | nope | 00:14 |
| Ampelbein | skutr3_: can you try right-clicking a flash video, go to settings and enable/disable hardware acceleration and see if that helps? | 00:14 |
| Mission_Control | I have four monitors | 00:14 |
| mylisto | ok Pici; xampp is deleted | 00:14 |
| Mission_Control | but I can only use two because I can't get the second graphics card to work | 00:14 |
| mylisto | now, how do I go about doing this the right way? | 00:14 |
| WeThePeople | what is stored on a HDD for boot sequences.....if i remove my 40 gb hdd will it boot correctly to both WinXP and Ubuntu 10.04 | 00:15 |
| Mission_Control | I'm not experienced with laptops either | 00:15 |
| skutr3_ | Ampelbein: ok | 00:15 |
| jacekowski | WeThePeople: a boot sector | 00:16 |

| jacekowski | WeThePeople: and there is boot loader stored in that sector | 00:17 |
| Chewarrior | Alquien español | 00:17 |

| WeThePeople | jacekowski, so hdds are not plug and play | 00:17 |
| mylisto | argh this is driving me nuts | 00:17 |
| Ampelbein | skutr3_: if you are somewhat experienced with ubuntu you can try the 64bit flashplugin from https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash, but I wouldn't recommend that if you don't know what you are doing. | 00:18 |
| jacekowski | WeThePeople: yes they are | 00:18 |
| jacekowski | WeThePeople: you plug it in and it will work | 00:18 |
| skutr3_ | Ampelbein: | 00:18 |
| jacekowski | WeThePeople: you will be able to read data from it | 00:18 |
| jacekowski | WeThePeople: and write to it | 00:18 |
| skutr3_ | Ampelbein: ok* | 00:18 |
| WeThePeople | jacekowski, kool thx | 00:18 |
| jacekowski | WeThePeople: but to boot system from it you need to have that system there in first place | 00:18 |
| jacekowski | WeThePeople: in format that bios will understand | 00:19 |
| Ampelbein | skutr3_: the problem seems to be that the 32bit plugin causes problems in 64bit environments so you'd have to wait till adobe releases a proper 64bit plugin in the official partner repository for ubuntu | 00:19 |
| IcyBlue | anyone know which program to download to keep the date and time fixed on my ubuntu and my windows. whenever i update my ubuntu my windows time settings changes | 00:19 |

| jacekowski | skutr3_: yes | 00:20 |
| skutr3_ | jacekowski: where? | 00:20 |
| jacekowski | skutr3_: on adobe website | 00:21 |
| skutr3_ | jacekowski: where can i get it? | 00:21 |
| jacekowski | 00:21 | |
| Ampelbein | jacekowski: the 64bit plugin came out of beta only 2 weeks ago, there is no official repository yet | 00:21 |
| skutr3_ | jacekowski: kk | 00:21 |

| mickster04 | gmg: i'm not sure then :/ | 00:34 |

| jahrome_ | thx jacekowski | 00:34 |

| jacekowski | jahrome_: so you can change it back after you're done | 00:35 |
| skutr3_ | jacekowski: how do i open the file manager with root in terminal? | 00:35 |
| gmg | I googled it...it looks like this issue is comming a very long time now. I thought somebody might have figured it out by now | 00:35 |
| jahrome_ | i have two network interfaces.... one on wlan another wired | 00:35 |
| jacekowski | skutr3_: you can copy it in terminal | 00:35 |
| jahrome_ | i will use the wired iface, without changing the other | 00:35 |
| skutr3_ | i need to move it not copy | 00:35 |
| jacekowski | skutr3_: same thing | 00:36 |
| jahrome_ | problem is, i have already installed tftpd and dhcp3-server | 00:36 |
| jacekowski | move == copy + delete | 00:36 |
| skutr3_ | jacekowski: move and copy? | 00:36 |
| jacekowski | almost | 00:36 |
| jahrome_ | but don't know, how to server the file | 00:36 |
| skutr3_ | ok fine how do you copy? | 00:36 |
| skutr3_ | -cpy? | 00:36 |
| jacekowski | skutr3_: move is just copying something and deleting the original ( well, not really but it's similiar ) | 00:36 |
| jacekowski | cp | 00:36 |
| jacekowski | to copy | 00:36 |
| jacekowski | mv to move | 00:36 |

| mickster04 | jacekowski: please don't use enter as punctuation | 00:37 |
| Merlin | thanks i just need one that has usb support | 00:38 |
| Starminn | skutr3_: If you wish to move these files around using the terminal, then to move them use the "mv" command, and to copy them use the "cp" command, but otherwise there is no need to over-complicate things (*cough* jacekowski *cough*) | 00:38 |
| tdiso | hello everyone. how can i change the max output volume on my laptop? ive found that the current max is too low but fine when i raise it. | 00:38 |
| gmg | Can someone tell me why Ubuntu disconnects my external drive automaticly? Even while playing music from the drive. | 00:39 |
| Starminn | tdiso: System->Preferences->Sound should hold what you need, does it not? | 00:39 |
| tdiso | Starminn, yes but i want to set a new default max. each time i lower the volume, the low max gets set again | 00:40 |
| tta | gmg: that happen whenwhen your laptop is under tension? | 00:41 |

| Magic-Fx | Hey everybody - I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a system I bought for my partner (p4 1.8Ghz, 512mb ram and 40gb hdd) ... It has a network card as opposed to on board and when booting up I don't get any network connections, I was wondering if anyone knew a quick way to install the network card?? | 00:44 |
| wolfgang | Wireless? | 00:45 |
| wolfgang | Wireless network card you mean? | 00:45 |
| mickster04 | Magic-Fx: when it boots up does it show eth0 in the network manager? | 00:45 |
| === darnell is now known as darnell_ | ||
| Magic-Fx | it shows auto eth0 as never used, but if i mouse over the network box it says no network connections available | 00:45 |
| Magic-Fx | and no its all wired, not wireless :) | 00:46 |
| KemikalElite | I'm having an issue on 10.10 where when i use the alt ctrl fkey command to access the console my screen gets pixelated and when i use alt ctrl f7 to switch back to gnome it logs out back to the login screen | 00:46 |
| wolfgang | ndis if it's wireless. You just need ndis and then the Microsoft Windows drivers | 00:46 |
| wolfgang | Oh | 00:46 |
| mickster04 | Magic-Fx: system>admin>hardware dirvers, if theres anything there to install, otherwise it will be being installed by default, see if your bios has an option to turn the on board port, off | 00:46 |
| mickster04 | Magic-Fx: pastebin output of ifconfig? | 00:46 |
| Magic-Fx | there is no on board on the motherboard, so there isn't an option for anything to do with the network... there is also no option using the system>admin>hardware drivers, because i have no network connection to download the info or drivers | 00:47 |
| mickster04 | Magic-Fx: s terminal output? | 00:47 |
| Magic-Fx | just booting machine up to get output for you, one tic | 00:47 |
| mickster04 | Magic-Fx: very good | 00:47 |
| wolfgang | irc in terminal is sweet | 00:48 |
| tta | i started the installation of ubuntu 10.10 in my laptop but after de decompression the system launched my previous os; please what is the meaning of that? | 00:48 |
| wolfgang | hm, how do i turn off join/quit notifications... | 00:48 |
| mickster04 | wolfgang: usually /ignore * JOIN QUIT | 00:49 |
| mickster04 | tta did you check the md5 hash of the disk | 00:49 |
| wolfgang | ok tried that command, let's see if it holds up | 00:49 |
| wolfgang | thanks | 00:50 |
| mickster04 | wolfgang, you may perhaps want to add LEAVE to that command, tho i dunno if it's leave or leaves | 00:50 |
| Starminn | wolfgang: Somebody joined between "Thanks" and "ok I tried it" | 00:50 |
| wolfgang | Great! Then it works! | 00:50 |
| mickster04 | :) | 00:50 |
| wolfgang | Ohhh... need to add the "leaving" | 00:50 |
| Scunizi | wolfgang: irssi? /ignore #<channel> joins parts quits .. then after /save to save the modification. | 00:50 |
| wolfgang | yes irssi | 00:51 |
| mickster04 | wolfgang: * means any channel in my case :p | 00:51 |
| wolfgang | Ohh | 00:51 |
| wolfgang | 'parts' is the equivalent to leave? | 00:51 |
| mickster04 | i guess so | 00:51 |
| wolfgang | Ok | 00:52 |
| wolfgang | Anyone here use MATLAB? | 00:52 |
| mickster04 | !matlab | 00:52 |
| ubottu | MATLAB is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks. More info and install instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB | 00:52 |
| wolfgang | Hahaha | 00:52 |
| mickster04 | ubottu clearly does :D | 00:52 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:52 |
| Scunizi | wolfgang: yes.. parts is basically the same as leaves.. I don't think irssi recognizes leaves. | 00:52 |
| Magic-Fx | mickster04, its a bit hard to paste the results from the 'ifconfig' command, as the system i am trying to get the network card active on isn't the one im using to speak with you... the ifconfig result shows Link encap: Local Loopback, followed by some generic info | 00:53 |
| Richiie | ls | 00:53 |
| Magic-Fx | mousing over the network took, shows "no network connections active" and clicking on it shows "no network device available" | 00:53 |
| Magic-Fx | tool, button, whatever its called | 00:53 |
| mickster04 | humm | 00:53 |
| KemikalElite | does anyone know an answer to my issue? I think its related to the x server | 00:54 |
| wolfgang | Great, I'll look at installing MATLAB on here | 00:54 |
| Magic-Fx | I would open the box to identify the network card, but its one of these bloody systems that has the box pot rivetted shut so i can't get into it | 00:55 |
| mickster04 | Magic-Fx: uhm, mostly hardware is auto installed | 00:56 |
| Starminn | mickster04: He could identify it using lspci, could he not? | 00:57 |
| mickster04 | Magic-Fx: so if it doesn't work there could be other problems involved, an i dunno how to find them out | 00:57 |
| Magic-Fx | yeah that was why I installed ubuntu and now windows xp | 00:57 |
| mickster04 | Starminn: if i knew how to use it i would suggest it | 00:57 |
| Magic-Fx | not* | 00:57 |
| Scunizi | Magic-Fx: you can identify your hardware with lspci and/or sudo lshw | 00:58 |
| Magic-Fx | thanks for ur help mickster04 i'll keep trying and if i get any further i'll let you know :) | 00:58 |
| mickster04 | :) | 00:58 |
| Magic-Fx | ok i'll try that thanks Scunizi | 00:58 |

| Magic-Fx | that was part of the results from command 'lspci' | 01:01 |
| Magic-Fx | that would in turn tell me that ubuntu is recognising the ethernet card? :/ | 01:01 |
| Scunizi | It use to be on previouse releases when you deleted files off an external storage medium like a usb stick or sd card the deleted files would land on that same medium in a folder called .trash. If you didn't empty the trash before unmounting the medium it still took space on that medium. Am I right in assuming that behavoir has changed? | 01:01 |
| pessoptimistic | mickster04: yes there should be, but don't know why there aren't! | 01:01 |

| mickster04 | Magic-Fx: yes | 01:02 |

| mickster04 | Isonyx: why use xampp? | 01:03 |
| KemikalElite | My screen crashes and logs me out after the computer is idle. Can anyone help? | 01:03 |
| Magic-Fx | it should be mounted mickster04 but I am not sure... the network connections which has the icon in the task bar, tells me I have no network connection active, and when clicking to select one, it tells me no network devices are available... so im at a stump there. | 01:03 |
| Isonyx | It was the fastest to install. | 01:03 |
| maco | Isonyx: i dont think xampp is actually supported since we have a task available to install apache, mysql, and php/python/perl all at once with things in *standard* location | 01:03 |
| Isonyx | ughh | 01:03 |
| Isonyx | Alright. | 01:03 |
| Isonyx | Thanks for the help. | 01:03 |
| Scunizi | Isonyx: not really. sudo tasksel .. select LAMP.. enter | 01:03 |
| Isonyx | Scunizi, what does it do? | 01:04 |
| mickster04 | KemikalElite: change the screen saver settings | 01:04 |
| KemikalElite | already tried that didnt help | 01:05 |
| mickster04 | KemikalElite: the settings have been set not to return to log in>? | 01:05 |
| KemikalElite | the screen messes up when i use alt ctrl f6 | 01:05 |
| Scunizi | Isonyx: sudo tasksel brings up a menu of a bunch of stuff you can install including LAMP.. The L is linux of course.. the rest is Apache, MySQL and PHP | 01:05 |
| mickster04 | KemikalElite: why do that? | 01:06 |
| Isonyx | ah | 01:06 |
| Isonyx | Scunizi: After you click enter nothing seems to happen. Has everything been installed? | 01:06 |
| ^Phantom^ | I have a mouse question | 01:06 |
| maco | Isonyx: tasksel stands for "task selector" because you can pick a task like...webserver...or mail server...or whatever you want...and it grabs all the stuff for that thing | 01:06 |
| KemikalElite | not sure it messes up when i try to access the console | 01:06 |
| ^Phantom^ | I'm making a custom Mario Themed cursor pack in windows XP. Will those cursors be able to work in Ubuntu? | 01:06 |
| KemikalElite | then i go back to gnome and it forces back to the login screen | 01:07 |
| Scunizi | Isonyx: well.. by installing xamp you've installed some version of apache mysql and php.. which one's I don't know.. If you want supported versions uninstall xamp and reinstall using the preferred methods. | 01:07 |
| Isonyx | Ahh. | 01:07 |
| Isonyx | Alright. | 01:07 |
| ^Phantom^ | They're animated. | 01:08 |
| syrinx | possibly, Phantom | 01:08 |
| Scunizi | Isonyx: was xamp a download? and if so was it a .deb file or something else? | 01:08 |
| Isonyx | When you install Lamp from tasksel how exactly does it work? On xampp you can upload files to localhost via ftp.. | 01:08 |
| Isonyx | Scunizi: I actually don't remember. | 01:08 |
| Scunizi | Isonyx: you running a separate box for the install? | 01:09 |
| maco | Isonyx: you need an ssh server to use ssh/sftp/ftp -- install openssh-server | 01:09 |

| Isonyx | Seems like to much trouble since I did it the more inconvenient way. | 01:10 |
| Isonyx | I'll see if I can find something that will help in xampps user manuals. | 01:10 |
| Scunizi | Isonyx: are you new from the windows world? | 01:11 |
| Citizenwarrior | what would be the reasoning not to install the 64bit version of Ubuntu on a 64bit system? | 01:11 |
| Scunizi | Citizenwarrior: no specific benefit if you have less than 4 gigs of ram | 01:11 |
| pessoptimistic | I don't even get the option in partition manually. I opened gparted and did it there. | 01:12 |

| syrinx | Phantom, well, a cursor theme is just a set of images right? | 01:13 |
| Isonyx | No. Actually I'm not. | 01:13 |
| Citizenwarrior | scunizi ok, but if I where to then run some 32bit OS in VirtualBox for that need I should be covered and have no good reason not to upgrade | 01:14 |
| mickster04 | AntonioP: try pressing alt-tab, it may have oipened up another window somewhere | 01:14 |
| AntonioP | what do I do with this? | 01:14 |
| AntonioP | Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 01:14 |
| Scunizi | AntonioP: are you doing it from Synaptic package manager or a download? | 01:14 |
| AntonioP | I killed the process...and I'm going to try it again | 01:14 |
| mickster04 | AntonioP: you may have had update manager open or mayb you tried installing it somewhere else? | 01:15 |
| AntonioP | scunizi: it was from apt-get | 01:15 |
| Scunizi | Citizenwarrior: you can run 32 bit os's in a 64 bit vm with no issues.. you just might run into problems if you tried the reverse | 01:15 |
| ChogyDan | pessoptimistic: try using pastebin instead of s3 | 01:15 |

| Magic-Fx | doe's anyone know how to manually setup a network card on ubuntu 10.04? I have tried a few commands to identify that ubuntu has installed the card and recognises it, but I get no network connections active and I am told no network devices available when clicking on it to attempt to connect. It is plugged into the router with lights on both that and the back of the network card, but no activity on the system through network.. | 01:16 |
| AntonioP | restart the computer? | 01:16 |
| Scunizi | AntonioP: do you have synaptic open? that statement means that two things are accessing the package manager at the same time. | 01:16 |
| mickster04 | AntonioP: yeah | 01:16 |
| pessoptimistic | ChogyDan: So does that mean you know the answer? | 01:17 |
| ChogyDan | pessoptimistic: what website are you trying to use? | 01:17 |
| pessoptimistic | ChogyDan: no website at ALL. I am having a technical problem installing 10.10!!! | 01:17 |
| AntonioP | nope I only hvae terminal open | 01:17 |
| Scunizi | Citizenwarrior: if you're running citrix in a 32 bit vm then no issues.. if you try it in ubutnu 64 bit native you will. | 01:17 |
| ChogyDan | pessoptimistic: you posted a link, right? The link is bad | 01:18 |
| Scunizi | AntonioP: is this a new fresh install of ubuntu? | 01:18 |
| AntonioP | nope | 01:18 |
| mickster04 | pessoptimistic: don't use gparted at the same time? just use the installer, will you only be installing ubuntu? | 01:18 |

| Citizenwarrior | Scunizi thank-you for your time | 01:20 |
| pessoptimistic | I never got that option | 01:20 |
| Scunizi | Citizenwarrior: np.. | 01:20 |
| mickster04 | pessoptimistic: what options did you get? | 01:20 |
| Scunizi | Citizenwarrior: what vm are you planning to use? | 01:21 |
| pessoptimistic | mickster04: I double click on the "Install Ubuntu 10.10" icon and i get a welcome screen to select English, which I do, then I click on "Forward" then I get "Preparing to install Ubuntu" all green checkmarks, i click on "Forwrard" and I get "Allocate Drive Space" | 01:22 |
| mickster04 | all green check boxes? | 01:23 |
| pessoptimistic | mickster04: no partitions are to be found in the allocate space. Look at http://twitpic.com/44iamp | 01:23 |
| mickster04 | pessoptimistic: change the option elected in the drop down menu, tell me what you can see? | 01:25 |
| pessoptimistic | mickster04: look at http://twitpic.com/44juvp | 01:25 |
| Scunizi | pessoptimistic: I see by your graphic that you've allocated lots of space to ubuntu on the drive (gparted window). You might consider 15 gigs for root "/" .. 4gigs for /swap and the remainder for /home ... /home is where all your user created material lands. However to do that you need to create an extended partition to overcome the 4 primary partition limitations. | 01:26 |
| Citizenwarrior | Scunizi Oracle VirtualBox.... it is the only one I know much about | 01:26 |
| mickster04 | pessoptimistic: okso what about the drop down as mentioned in your first image dump | 01:26 |
| pessoptimistic | mickster04: /dev/sda is only thing in the drop down in the "Allocate drive space" | 01:26 |
| Scunizi | Citizenwarrior: I use that too.. I always get it direct from Oracle/Sun instead of the repo's.. it has extra functionality. | 01:27 |
| pessoptimistic | Scunizi: you are right. I am having a probl installing. | 01:27 |
| mickster04 | pessoptimistic: close gparted | 01:27 |
| mickster04 | restart the install from scratch, i assume you haven't got that hdd mounted? | 01:28 |
| Scunizi | pessoptimistic: if the live cd doesn't work you might give the "alternate" cd a shot.. no gui install. it's all text based. | 01:28 |
| pessoptimistic | mickster04: device is not mounted, gparted is closed. | 01:28 |
| Scunizi | pessoptimistic: but will install the full gui system | 01:28 |
| mickster04 | and still nothing? | 01:28 |

| Scunizi | pessoptimistic: to eliminate cdrom issues you might take the iso to the other machine and make a live usb stick and use that to install.. just a thought | 01:30 |

| afman | Hey has anyone been having a problem after updating Ubuntu 10.10 that whenever you try to start a program the taskbar just disappears? | 01:46 |
| afman | And the program doesn't start :-( | 01:46 |
| earthmeLon | Any program or one in particular afman | 01:46 |
| mickster04 | afman: nope | 01:46 |
| syrinx | afman: video card? | 01:47 |
| shcherbak | afman: By taskbar, do you mean gnome-panel? | 01:47 |
| jahrome_ | afman i had a similar problem, everytime i clicked on places, wine started with an error | 01:47 |
| maco | jahrome_: places, or something *inside* places? | 01:48 |
| maco | jahrome_: if the latter, it means wine thinks it's the correct program for handling folders | 01:48 |
| jahrome_ | maco places, linking was corrupt | 01:48 |
| maco | jahrome_: oh ouch | 01:48 |
| jahrome_ | exactly | 01:48 |
| jahrome_ | i had to fix the program, it was opening when clicking on a "link", but i forgot which file it was | 01:49 |
| jahrome_ | one cannot remmber evertyhing | 01:49 |
| syrinx | how'd the heck you find that jahrome? | 01:50 |
| Fogel | ok, anybody can help me? i need to omit disk partitioning during ubuntu installation and explicitly give it installation directory | 01:50 |
| jahrome_ | Fogel, just use the whole disk ;) | 01:50 |
| Fogel | directory NOT partition | 01:50 |
| mickster04 | Fogel: select "manual define partitions" when installing? | 01:50 |
| syrinx | Fogel, filesys? | 01:50 |
| AndMar | hello? | 01:51 |
| Fogel | jahrome_: yes, and delete 20k$ worth projects | 01:51 |
| jahrome_ | my dhcp server doesn't start up, i have to look in the syslog | 01:51 |
| jahrome_ | how? | 01:51 |
| AndMar | is this where I can ask for help? | 01:51 |
| mickster04 | AndMar: yes | 01:51 |
| tta | andmar:hello... | 01:51 |
| Fogel | mickster04: no way, it needs to select device, not directory | 01:51 |
| jahrome_ | AndMar: just ask your question, sometimes you will get help.... | 01:52 |
| Fogel | syrinx: i'll check it | 01:52 |
| tta | yes feel free | 01:52 |
| AndMar | I'm trying to connect to and use a printer on my network | 01:52 |
| AndMar | after about an hour ive gotten nowhere | 01:52 |
| mickster04 | Fogel: not sure what you mean | 01:52 |
| Fogel | syrinx: ah, pardon, ext4 | 01:52 |
| mickster04 | AndMar: can you connect using a different pc? | 01:52 |
| AndMar | yes | 01:52 |
| espenk | Hiya! Any of you know if this is possible: Two monitors, terminal (no graphical env) on one and xorg on the other? | 01:52 |
| Fogel | mickster04: i have broken partition table | 01:52 |
| jahrome_ | AndMar: gratulations, you are just as frustrated as i am :) i'd say, you have to use cups | 01:52 |
| AndMar | im justhaving truoble cuz im used to windows | 01:52 |
| AndMar | two other laptops can use it | 01:52 |
| mickster04 | espenk: just use gnome-terminal | 01:53 |
| syrinx | Fogel, backup and reformat | 01:53 |
| === i is now known as Guest38021 | ||
| mickster04 | Fogel: ah ok | 01:53 |
| AndMar | i went to cups and it found it | 01:53 |
| syrinx | are you coming from windows? | 01:53 |
| AndMar | but idk what the device uri is or how to find out | 01:53 |
| Fogel | mickster04: it works, but not for cfdisk and installer | 01:53 |
| _skpl | espenk: alt ctrl f1-f6 | 01:53 |
| AndMar | yes im used to windows | 01:53 |
| mickster04 | AndMar: usually //pcname/printername | 01:53 |
| AndMar | ok ill try that | 01:53 |
| espenk | _skpl: That affects both monitors | 01:54 |
| AndMar | ill have to find out names first | 01:54 |
| AndMar | brb | 01:54 |
| Fogel | syrinx: it would require backup of whole disk and reinstalling linux and windows | 01:54 |
| mickster04 | AndMar: check on the other networked pc, it'll be listed under properties for the printer | 01:54 |
| Fogel | syrinx: not an option | 01:54 |
| mickster04 | espenk: whats wrong with using a gnome terminal? | 01:54 |
| shcherbak | jahrome_: ls /var/log/ , or less /var/log/syslog , or menu > System > Administration > Log viewer | 01:54 |
| Scunizi | espenk: probably but not by _skpl 's method.. you'll have to craft a custom xorg.conf to do it. Then after Ubuntu moves away from X you'll have to start over | 01:54 |
| espenk | I know I can run a terminal in a window, I just am curious if it is *possible*, cause theoretically I believe it should vbe | 01:54 |
| syrinx | Fogel: i would think having ubuntu and windows on the same drive is a bad idea.... | 01:54 |
| srq | 2 | 01:54 |
| mickster04 | espenk: not that i know of | 01:54 |
| Fogel | syrinx: i think it is not if you know what are you doing | 01:55 |
| mickster04 | espenk: actualterminal will not handle dual monitors properly, and xserver is what does that.... | 01:55 |
| Scunizi | syrinx: doesn't matter.. | 01:55 |
| espenk | scunizi I follow your drift completely, however I see no apparent way of solving it | 01:55 |
| AndMar | does //pcname/printer need a protocol in front of it? or is it exactly like you said? | 01:55 |
| Fogel | syrinx: i have such combo fo 3 years now and never had any problem with it | 01:55 |
| Fogel | s/fo/for/ | 01:55 |
| mickster04 | AndMar: that makes it a url i think | 01:55 |
| jahrome_ | shcherbak: thx | 01:55 |
| AndMar | well all the cups example uri's have protocols | 01:56 |
| AndMar | thats why i was wondering | 01:56 |
| syrinx | touche, so whats wrong with the partition table? | 01:56 |
| mickster04 | AndMar: like what? | 01:56 |
| AndMar | ipp://hostname/ipp/port1 | 01:56 |
| espenk | micster04: Ahhh... I see. | 01:56 |
| mickster04 | AndMar: if it's just across the lan, //will do it i would have thought | 01:56 |
| AndMar | ok ill try | 01:56 |
| AndMar | lemme get the info | 01:56 |
| nikitis | How can i install java? | 01:56 |
| mickster04 | espenk: yeah, just use a gnome terminal full screen on one side :/ | 01:56 |
| Fogel | syrinx: Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. | 01:56 |
| mickster04 | !java | nikitis | 01:57 |
| ubottu | nikitis: 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. | 01:57 |
| nikitis | !java | 01:57 |
| mickster04 | nikitis: mwahahaha | 01:57 |
| Scunizi | espenk: to solve your issue start googling for solution running two different desktop on different TTY's .. like gnome on tty7 like normal and kde on tty? .. that's entirely possible so to eliminate one and be left with just a tty/command prompt should be pretty easy.. from there you have to figure out a way to direct one tty to one monitor and the other to.. the other :) | 01:57 |
| Fogel | syrinx: it's from fdisk | 01:57 |
| Fogel | syrinx: cfdisk tells me FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 3: Partition ends after end-of-disk | 01:57 |
| Fogel | syrinx: and exist | 01:57 |
| Fogel | exits* | 01:57 |
| mickster04 | Scunizi: how will he select to give focus back to the terminal? | 01:57 |
| espenk | scunizi but they both will run xorg then, just with different layers on | 01:57 |
| Fogel | syrinx: it's windows 7 boot partition | 01:58 |
| espenk | scunizi But it makes sense that the problem here really isnt to not run xorg on one, but to be able to run anything else on the other | 01:58 |
| Scunizi | espenk: yes "I think".. as for mickster04 question.. it's a valid question.. how do you switch between the two.. that might be a bit more problemmatic | 01:58 |
| Fogel | syrinx: and is ca 40 MB afair | 01:58 |

| tr3nton | Scunizi: oh thanks, wasn't having much luck there. lol | 02:01 |
| syrinx | Fogel, might wanna try what you can, the odd thing is that it's partition 3, how many partitions are we looking at here? | 02:01 |

| tr3nton | Scunizi: thanks. I'll give em all a try. first time hooking up video cam to ubuntu | 02:02 |
| mickster04 | mikeru: 42? | 02:02 |
| mikeru | Gparted's been shrinking my 124GB partition | 02:02 |
| Fogel | syrinx: sda 1-3 are NTFS's, 5 and 6 are ext4 + reiserfs | 02:02 |
| mikeru | For 4 hours! | 02:02 |
| syrinx | mickster04, dont tell him the "answer" | 02:03 |
| Fogel | syrinx: and sda1 is the one that is "broken" | 02:03 |
| Scunizi | tr3nton: lives has a dv import function.. either usb or firewire | 02:03 |
| mickster04 | syrinx: it's the best i could come up with :p | 02:03 |
| mikeru | mickster04: that answer, to what question? | 02:03 |
| mickster04 | mello: let it run mow, what is it shrinking too? and is it actually shrinking or just prepping it, as in have you commited the changes | 02:03 |

| salohchin | anyone know a program to fix mouse accel or terminal commands? | 02:04 |
| mickster04 | mikeru: no-one does :( | 02:04 |

| * syrinx raises a brow... | 02:05 | |
| mickster04 | salohchin: changfe the mouse settings in system>pref(or admin> mouse | 02:05 |
| mikeru | Anyway, I'm not sure if gparted is actually working or not | 02:05 |
| syrinx | mikeru, hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, read it | 02:05 |
| salohchin | yeah thats sorta the problem | 02:05 |
| Fogel | syrinx: no problem with booting gentoo on sda5 - it just has broken video drivers and i have not enough time to take care of it, so i need something that will work without too much configuration | 02:06 |
| mickster04 | salohchin: what is? i gfave you a solution and it's the problem? | 02:06 |
| syrinx | Fogel, reformat sda2 and sda3 | 02:06 |
| Fogel | syrinx: not an option | 02:06 |
| mikeru | While the progress bar does that left to right to left thing (poor design, IMHO; it should instead show a percentage or whatever) | 02:06 |
| mickster04 | Fogel: ubuntu :p | 02:06 |
| mickster04 | mikeru: that means it hasn't started | 02:06 |
| mickster04 | mikeru: when it can work out a percentage it does show a progress | 02:06 |
| syrinx | this is why i said the whole dual boot thing isn't worth it | 02:06 |
| syrinx | tends to get very complicated.... | 02:07 |
| Fogel | syrinx: on sda2 i have windows installed, and it would take me too much time to reinstall all apps i have | 02:07 |
| mickster04 | mikeru: press alt-tab and check there isn't a confirmation box hiding somewhere? | 02:07 |
| mickster04 | Fogel: use a live cd all the time? | 02:07 |
| salohchin | well in ubuntu there are 2 values to change that effect mouse (acceleration+sensitivity) the most stable i can get it is not good enough | 02:07 |
| mikeru | mickster04: oh, but it has. It has never shown any percentage any time I have used it before | 02:07 |
| syrinx | Fogel, it says sda1 is the boot partition | 02:07 |
| salohchin | so i was wondering if there was a prog or terminal cmd to help | 02:07 |
| Fogel | syrinx: well.. if it have gentoo-like installation mode i wouldn't have any problem at all | 02:08 |
| mikeru | It bas already calibrated and checked filesystem but its been stuck on shrinking file system | 02:08 |
| mickster04 | mikeru: uhm, then you've only been using it when it hasn't been able to work out the percent, have you used update manager? that ususally shows it working | 02:08 |

| mickster04 | arguably | 02:13 |
| syrinx | I mean, i guess its a matter of taste, and while I agree with that statement about VS, you take the good and the bad | 02:13 |

| deckard42 | the grub1 syntax is ridiculously simple, and works. and the grub2 syntax that was generated when it detected XP is convoluted and uses completely undocumented commands, and fails | 02:25 |
| mickster04 | deckard42: grub2 is easier, you don't have to touch the stuff that is generated? it does it all automagically? | 02:26 |

| mickster04 | phoenixsampras: did you reboot between changing the settings, and how much ram you got? | 02:42 |
| phoenixsampras | mickster04: rebooting.... and I have 8Gb Ram | 02:43 |
| mickster04 | phoenixsampras: then if your swap is being used a bit already, you may find it won't hibernate because it uses the swap to store the ram stuff:/ but if the swap space being used < free space on ram you should be ok | 02:43 |
| === nuhair is now known as brownz | ||
| phoenixsampras | mickster04: so if i have 8gb on swap, my 8gb ram is being swaped, so doesnt fit | 02:45 |
| mickster04 | phoenixsampras: possibly, basically swap takes over when your ram is full...and you need the swap space to hybernate to...but i can't see your swap being used if your ram is that big | 02:45 |
| mickster04 | phoenixsampras: so set it to hybernate, then reboot and try closing the lid and waitig a second, alternatively, try selecting hibernate from the power button optoins | 02:46 |

| ndxtg | hi, i just installed a server, need to install minimal gnome, do you know what are the packages? cant google it, I know one is gnome-core but not sure the others | 03:01 |
| mickster04 | ndxtg: why do you need gnome? its a server? you'll need x server first aswell? | 03:01 |
| ndxtg | mickster04: yea, but i dont remember the exact package names, cant google it out (I need to install a minimal ubuntu and its the only way) | 03:02 |
| beachbum_Bob | Help with audio problem on Toshiba, U10.10 ...alsa and adour don't work..what is the name of a forced version? launchpad doesn't work either | 03:03 |
| Fogel | sacarlson: only 2.6.35 on ppa - i'll just build one from kernel.org | 03:03 |
| mickster04 | ndxtg: you know of minimal install cd, aka alternate install, also ubuntu-mini | 03:03 |
| durando | anyone here have experience with tomatousb (linux based firmware for routers) i really need some help and cant seem anyone that is able to | 03:04 |
| maco | mickster04: alternate and mini arent the same | 03:04 |
| webPragmatist | how can i print this an -exec | 03:04 |
| webPragmatist | and* | 03:04 |
| webPragmatist | find /srv/assets/backups/postgres/ -type f -ctime +7 -exec rm {} \; | 03:04 |
| maco | mickster04: they use the same install mechanism, but alt has the packages on it. mini grabs them from the internet | 03:04 |
| mickster04 | maco: yeah i know they aren';t the same, i would have use d "aka" not "also" | 03:05 |
| sacarlson | forgel: seems I found this in ppa http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.38-rc6-natty/ | 03:05 |
| ndxtg | mickster04: I thought alternate is like the normal desktop CD, except it does not have "Try it live" , so when installed, it comes with lot of apps | 03:05 |
| maco | mickster04: er but you said "minimal install cd, aka alternate install" | 03:05 |
| maco | mickster04: so i thought it was supposed to be a list of names for one thing | 03:05 |
| bisu[Shield] | I have a tar.gz for mysql, where is it usually installed? | 03:05 |
| mickster04 | maco: well i thought you were reffereing to ubuntu-mini when you said mini, but what does the minimal install do? | 03:06 |
| ndxtg | so... does anyone know what is the list of package names to have a minimal Gnome on ubuntu server? | 03:06 |
| [TK]D-Fender | bisu[Shield]: First you dont normally touch tarballs for Ubuntu. | 03:06 |
| [TK]D-Fender | bisu[Shield]: You install DEB packages | 03:06 |
| ian_ | hello | 03:06 |
| ian_ | I need to ask a quick question. | 03:06 |
| [TK]D-Fender | bisu[Shield]: And even more commonly just install for the repo's you've already got | 03:06 |
| mickster04 | ndxtg: do you have a browser available? | 03:06 |
| mickster04 | !ask | 03:06 |

| bisu[Shield] | lol, c'mon why is it so difficult to instally mysql 5.5 on ubuntu | 03:07 |
| bisu[Shield] | OMG | 03:07 |
| ian_ | How do i exit out? it say "^x" | 03:07 |
| maco | mickster04: i'm confused now. there's an alternate cd and a mini cd. are you referring to an option ON the alternate cd? | 03:07 |
| mickster04 | bisu[Shield]: have you tried sudo apt-get install? | 03:07 |
| ndxtg | mickster04: as said above, google does not help | 03:07 |
| dubs_ | I installed mysql 5.5 on ubuntu server and it is quite a bit faster | 03:07 |
| ian_ | can someone tell me really quickly what ^X means? | 03:07 |
| maco | ian_: ctrl X | 03:07 |
| dataworm | How do I install Xen on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server? I can't beleive Xen does't come with it | 03:07 |
| ian_ | thanks, very much. | 03:07 |
| mickster04 | maco: i thought there was a minimal cd and also an ubuntu-min, a remix which is just smaller | 03:07 |
| mickster04 | !xen | dataworm | 03:08 |
| ubottu | dataworm: XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 03:08 |
| maco | mickster04: no... desktop, alternate, mini | 03:08 |
| maco | mickster04: i think both alternate and mini let you choose which packages are installed though | 03:08 |
| mickster04 | maco: http://www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/ | 03:08 |
| mickster04 | ndxtg: so you've seen http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1068775 | 03:08 |

| maco | mickster04: thatd explain why ive not heard of it. i also wonder whether it's a trademark policy violation.... | 03:09 |
| mickster04 | maco: yeah, but for ndxtg's purposes it may well be useful | 03:09 |

| ian_ | mickster04: what's the command for checking? will ifconfig tell me? | 03:45 |
| mickster04 | ian_: yeah | 03:45 |
| mikeru | Ok so since nobody seems to be able to help me with my gparted related griefs, I'll ask something else | 03:46 |
| mickster04 | ian_: if you see an eth# there, or something other than lo then you are on the right track | 03:46 |

| ian_ | mickster04: Getting same results | 03:46 |
| ian_ | i believe a cable may be out. | 03:46 |
| mickster04 | ian_: with all of them? | 03:46 |
| mikeru | I have enabled VSync on my MacBook with nvidia 9400m | 03:46 |
| ian_ | yeah | 03:46 |
| mickster04 | ian_: naw, the cable won't make a difference, the eth# will only appear if there is a port | 03:46 |
| ian_ | i think there's a loose cable. | 03:46 |
| mikeru | Yet, it doesn't work at all | 03:46 |
| jshriver | Is there a way to specify where you want a mysql database whne creating the database? | 03:47 |
| Scunizi | mikeru: you running ubuntu in a vm or something on your mac? | 03:47 |
| mikeru | Scunizi: Natively | 03:47 |
| jupdown | yo | 03:47 |
| jupdown | im a complete retard when it comes to using the terminal | 03:47 |
| Scunizi | mikeru: as a dual boot? | 03:47 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | Hi | 03:47 |
| jupdown | but could someone tell me how to execute a user script? | 03:47 |
| ian_ | mickster04: what is the network restart command line? | 03:48 |
| mickster04 | jupdown: sudo chmod +x scriptname.sh | 03:48 |
| mikeru | Scunizi: Yip | 03:48 |
| mickster04 | ian_: that won't make a difference, if at install it hasn't noticed it, the network service will be started on boot up | 03:48 |
| jupdown | ~nothing happens~ | 03:48 |
| Scunizi | mikeru: basic q's here.. did you enable the nvidia driver in system>admin>hardware drivers? | 03:48 |
| ian_ | i did not plug in the ethernet cable, i think i need to restart it... | 03:48 |
| jupdown | uh | 03:49 |
| mikeru | Yes | 03:49 |
| jupdown | I think its something like disable eth0 | 03:49 |
| jshriver | jupdown: ./script.sh | 03:49 |
| jupdown | and then enable eth0 | 03:49 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | jupdown, :I have the same doubt,i have an script,i want to execute the install.sh,but when i type in the terminal,it is showing command not found,can any one tell me how to run an install.sh script | 03:49 |
| mickster04 | jupdown: then sh scriptname.sh | 03:49 |
| Scunizi | mikeru: remember what driver it was or simply "nvidia current"? | 03:49 |
| silk | Is there an issue with ubuntu's AWS repositories? | 03:49 |
| mikeru | And enabled sync in nvidia server settings | 03:49 |
| mikeru | Uhh | 03:49 |
| mickster04 | kothaguy_ubuntu: ls then see if yoiu can see the file listed | 03:49 |
| mikeru | I think it was current | 03:49 |
| ian_ | mickster04: i skipped plugging in the network cable, would restarting the tools make a difference? | 03:50 |
| jupdown | it gives me usage parameters | 03:50 |
| Scunizi | mikeru: what did you expect to happen when you enabled vsync? | 03:50 |
| mikeru | Scunizi: No tearing | 03:50 |
| mikeru | Its still there | 03:50 |
| phoenixsampras | can somebody advice something better than Zenoss? | 03:50 |
| mickster04 | ian_: when you restart, the network services get started. if they can't see an eth# port, then you can't use the card to connect to the network | 03:50 |
| mickster04 | jupdown: well enter the parameters needed for the script? | 03:50 |
| mickster04 | phoenixsampras: what does it do? | 03:50 |
| mikeru | You know what I betterr aak about this when gparted is finished | 03:51 |
| phoenixsampras | mickster04: network monitor | 03:51 |
| ian_ | mickster04: i didn't have the eth cable plugged in when i rebooted. | 03:51 |

| Scunizi | mikeru: ok.. you probably installed nvidia-current which is an older driver .. not "current".. there is a ppa for the latest driver. Once the ppa is listed in your sources then update upgrade and it should pull the driver in.. it's also called nvidia-current.. the ppa is x-swat.. google it.. not sure of it's exact location. | 03:51 |
| jupdown | T_T | 03:52 |
| ian_ | mickster04: i think my modem might be missing. | 03:52 |
| mikeru | Scunizi actualky i do have a ppa | 03:52 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | mickster04, : i can find it,http://paste.ubuntu.com/573306/ i tried sudo chmod +x install.sh ,no change in terminal,how can i know whether it is executed or not | 03:52 |
| mikeru | Nvidia 270 something wass the versiom | 03:52 |
| rtdos | btw, how do i get into grub (or safe mode) so that i can do any necessary repairs?) when i am / was using startup manager to edit grub for me but when i select safe mode it just continues to boot though i do see the repair menu (the booting does not stop at this point but continues on as if i were booting normally) | 03:53 |
| mickster04 | kothaguy_ubuntu: ls -a | 03:53 |
| opcbo | PCB = print circuit board | 03:53 |
| ian_ | mickster04: i don't know whats wrong with it. | 03:54 |
| Scunizi | mikeru: that would be it.. check the ppa though.. I think the x-swat one is pretty reliable... also check in System>Preference>Appearance and increase the effects to the middle option. | 03:54 |
| mickster04 | opcbo: not ubuntu related | 03:54 |
| opcbo | yes | 03:54 |
| mickster04 | ian_: nor do i, but i think your mobo may be damaged | 03:54 |
| dataworm | I am upgrading 10.04 to 10.10 on a system that use Software Raid1. Witch device do I need to install grub on? sda, sdb, md0? | 03:54 |
| dataworm | I tried on md0 but it failed | 03:54 |
| ian_ | mickster04: mobo? | 03:54 |
| mickster04 | ian_: motherboard aka main board | 03:54 |
| Logan_WP | ian_: motherboard | 03:54 |
| Scunizi | dataworm: sda as a guess. but you can install on sda and sdb for safety | 03:55 |
| ian_ | ah, thanks. | 03:55 |
| ian_ | unfamiliar with such terms. | 03:55 |
| ian_ | mickster04: one way or another, i think the mobo might be fried. | 03:55 |
| hypatia | dataworm: you shouldn't need to redo grub manually to upgrade (also, hi!) | 03:55 |
| mickster04 | ian_: yeah, sounds like it, if 3 different lan cards don't work on different slots :/ | 03:55 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | Mickster84 : i find the .sh file,how to run it | 03:55 |
| ian_ | mickster04: everything else was fine, so i don't know whats wrong. | 03:56 |
| dataworm | hypatia: the upgrade prompted for it | 03:56 |
| dataworm | hi hypatia, is there a channel your not on ;) | 03:56 |
| Scunizi | ian_: unless the mobo has a lan card and the system keeps defaulting to that one instead of picking one of the others you've installed. | 03:56 |
| dataworm | I just did sda and sdb hopefully it will work | 03:56 |
| mikeru | Scunizi: But as i already said, it was silly of me to have asked while gparted was still running on the live cd. My bad. | 03:56 |
| mickster04 | kothaguy_ubuntu: sh filename.sh | 03:56 |
| hypatia | dataworm: i am the all-seeing eye of irc ^_^ | 03:57 |
| ian_ | scunizi: it's really old, it shouldn't have a lan card. lemme check BIOS. | 03:57 |
| opcbo | ejoy here | 03:57 |
| opcbo | thanks all | 03:57 |

| Logan_WP | oops | 03:59 |
| ian_ | how could i check which card my mobo is defaulting to? | 03:59 |
| ian_ | i believe the mobo may not be fried. | 04:00 |
| ian_ | through command line, i can't seem to get into bios... | 04:00 |
| === `dimmortal is now known as dimmortal | ||
| Scunizi | ian_: in network manager you should be able to setup a new connection using eth1 instead of eth0 which is typically the default.. | 04:01 |
| Scunizi | ian_: bios is only accessable on reboot.. not through cli | 04:01 |
| beachbum_Bob | Help with audio problem on Toshiba, U10.10 ...alsa and adour don't work..what is the name of a forced version? launchpad doesn't work either | 04:01 |
| mickster04 | ian_: if you have tried 3 cards, on differnt hokles, and rebooted each time, and everytime ifconfig hasn't shown and eth#'s. then either all three cards are borken or your mobo is dead | 04:01 |
| mickster04 | ian_: also you can't get into bios from terminal | 04:01 |
| ian_ | scunizi: i'm command-line illiterate. please go on. | 04:01 |
| ian_ | mickster04: i'm rebooting and i can't get into bios. | 04:01 |
| sacarlson | ian_: I look back and I still don't see the results of your ifconfig | 04:02 |
| mickster04 | ian_: esc or f8? | 04:02 |
| Scunizi | ian_: like mickster04 says.. did you see multiple ethx listings when you ifconfig on the command line? | 04:02 |
| ian_ | i only saw "lo". | 04:02 |
| ian_ | ifconfig was suspiciousally vacant. | 04:03 |
| mickster04 | ian_: which means sumat mroe is broken | 04:03 |
| ian_ | i can plug my cards into my other pc really quick and check to see if they work. | 04:03 |
| mickster04 | right i'm off bbl | 04:03 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | Again i am back,after installing .sh | 04:03 |
| Scunizi | ian_: do you have one of the "extra" cards installed now? if so type lspci and it should report on all hardware that is in the pci buss. | 04:03 |
| ian_ | mickster04: i have no idea what that is -w- | 04:03 |
| sacarlson | ian_: what does this mean? (10:23:57 AM) ian_: ifconfig is giving me zeros and a local ip | 04:03 |
| ian_ | sunizi: i only have on card in the server i'm trying to set up. | 04:04 |
| Scunizi | ian_: and it's not wireless .. right? | 04:04 |
| ian_ | sacarlson: check my most recent paste bin | 04:04 |
| ian_ | scunizi: it's wired. | 04:04 |
| ian_ | scunizi: I can reboot my current computer and try the card on here, but i have a network port on the motherboard and it might default to that. | 04:05 |
| Scunizi | ian_: if only lo is listed.. hummm.. did you try to set a static ip address on this box? | 04:05 |
| ian_ | scunizi: i'm not sure what that means, and i wouldn't know how to do it. | 04:06 |
| sacarlson | ian_: sorry maybe if you put your info on one line instead of 50 I might find it | 04:06 |
| Eolua | hi. | 04:06 |
| ian_ | to make this simpler, couldn't i just put lxde on a flash drive and somehow install it of the server so i can have a gui to work with? | 04:06 |
| ian_ | socarlson, give me a sec. | 04:06 |

| kothaguy_ubuntu | i have an gpg error while updating using sudo apt-get update,how to remove those two errors ,http://paste.ubuntu.com/573308/ | 04:07 |
| sacarlson | ian_: no I fond it as I said it just take me longer for you with too many lines, you should try sudo lshw to see if your net device is seen by the system at all | 04:07 |
| Scunizi | ian_: that won't fix your problem.. you pretty much have to use cli to fix this.. hang on | 04:07 |
| dianiu_ | when i use chrome to watch video,it shows "shockwave flash crash" | 04:08 |
| ian_ | sacarlson: sudo lshw is more than my screen can see; how can i scroll up? | 04:09 |
| sacarlson | ian_: sudo lshw >file.txt | 04:09 |
| dianiu_ | anybody has the same problem? | 04:09 |
| Scunizi | what and where is the file for interfaces? /etc/interfaces? | 04:09 |
| sacarlson | ian_: use a flash usb to move it to here | 04:09 |
| ChogyDan | dianiu_: sudo apt-get remove libvdpau1 | 04:09 |
| Axan | Hello | 04:10 |
| ian_ | sacarlson: i'm not sure how i would do that. | 04:11 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | i have an gpg error while updating using sudo apt-get update,how to remove those two errors ,http://paste.ubuntu.com/573308/ | 04:11 |
| sacarlson | ian_: you can also use sudo lshw | less or sudo lshw | grep net | 04:11 |
| ian_ | sacarlson: i'm not sure how i would put lxde on usb and transfer it over. | 04:12 |
| Scunizi | ian_: /etc/network/interfaces is a file that handles your internet connection and ip address. If you're having issues getting dhcp to assign an ip address to your server then you have to manually configure it. This is what mine looks like http://pastebin.com/Krjgerra | 04:12 |
| sacarlson | ian_: I thought you problem is with eth0? | 04:12 |
| ChogyDan | kothaguy_ubuntu: I think you can either ignore it, or add the keys of those repos | 04:12 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | ChogyDan, :how to add the keys to the repos | 04:13 |
| Scunizi | ian_: can you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file so we can see it. | 04:13 |
| Axan | I want to install Ubuntu on a flash card, I know how to, and I already did, but as my card size is only 4G I wonder If it is not a better idea to only put /usr or /home on my flashcard, and other data on my main HDD (pata). I mean, the flashcard will faster than my HDD, so which part of my system root should I use it for ? (up to 4GB) | 04:13 |
| ChogyDan | dianiu_: please ask your questions in chat | 04:13 |
| sacarlson | ian_: you can boot a live cd and do it from that if that makes it easier for you | 04:13 |
| sacarlson | ian_: or a live usb | 04:14 |
| dianiu_ | shall I restart my computer? | 04:14 |

| Scunizi | sacarlson: I think ian isn't getting an ip address.. no matter what nic card he uses.. | 04:14 |
| ian_ | sacarlson: that's not really an option, it's a 20g hard drive. | 04:15 |
| Scunizi | sacarlson: that's why I suggested pastbinning his interfaces file. | 04:15 |
| sacarlson | Scunizi: yes as seen in ian_: ifconfig no hardware is seen so with lshw you can see if the hardware is there without a driver or not seen at all | 04:15 |
| Scunizi | sacarlson: true.. | 04:16 |
| sacarlson | Scunizi: the interfaces file won't help if no ethX is ever seen | 04:16 |
| Scunizi | ian_: did you lshw? was the nic card seen? | 04:16 |
| ian_ | scunzi: is it " cat /etc/network/interfaces" cl? | 04:16 |

| ian_ | Wait, i'm now running " sudo apt-get update" and not getting any results. | 04:21 |
| Scunizi | ian_: keep in mind that your isp might block the ports it will be using.. forcing a port reconfiguration in the minecraft setup | 04:21 |
| Scunizi | ian_: run ifconfig and see if you have an address | 04:21 |
| ian_ | i know that, i can deal with it after i connect the server to the internet first. | 04:21 |
| sacarlson | jairoserafim: is your wireless network encrypted? did you try iwconfig to see if your wifi device is seen? | 04:22 |

| jshriver | cat /etc/resolv.conf see what it says and trying pinging that ip | 04:28 |
| KucukMubasir | Jordan_U: first rvm install ruby-1.8.7 and install ruby-1.9.2-head secondly | 04:28 |
| ian_ | scunizi, that's working. | 04:28 |
| KucukMubasir | rvm install ruby-1.9.2-head | 04:28 |
| jairoserafim | iwanan say format numbers and options | 04:28 |
| Scunizi | ian_: then it's dns most likely | 04:28 |
| Axan | Is it possible to change the destination of program installation of aptitude ? (so I can install on a new drive) | 04:29 |
| KucukMubasir | and I installed readline somewhere between or before them :/ | 04:29 |
| jairoserafim | i need to go out thanks | 04:29 |
| Jordan_U | KucukMubasir: I know that ruby has its own way of installing things, but have you tried just installing what you need from the repositories? | 04:29 |
| Scunizi | ian_: you could "sudo ifdown".. then "sudo ifup" to bring the interface down then back up agian and see if it catches the dns the router is using. | 04:29 |
| sacarlson | ian_: try sudo dhclient eth0 | 04:29 |
| KucukMubasir | Jordan_U: I think so, I was following guidelines | 04:30 |
| ian_ | Scunizi: My "dns-nameserver" is 192.168.1.1. Could that be wrong? under "cat /etc/network/interfaces | 04:30 |
| === Logan_WP is now known as Logan[zing-me] | ||
| sacarlson | ian_: that normaly works for most routers, you could try dig @8.8.8.8 yaho.com and see if that works better | 04:31 |
| ian_ | sudo ifdown/up tells me "ifup: Use --help for help." | 04:31 |
| biffhero | Has anyone heard of ubuntu kernel (from the 10.10 installer) causing a blade to segfault? I do an install to a hard drive on my RLX blade, and it won't boot completely. I have no console, so can't see the messages. I am in a reboot loop, the last thing I see is the final RLX bios screen, then then the next thing I see is the RLX bios memory counter. | 04:31 |
| Axan | Re | 04:32 |
| ian_ | okay... | 04:32 |
| Jordan_U | KucukMubasir: Installing via rvm means that you *didn't* use the package manager / apt repositories | 04:32 |
| ian_ | okay, the dig @yaho is giving me ip adresses. | 04:32 |
| ian_ | yahoo* | 04:32 |
| KucukMubasir | which means I did something missing? | 04:33 |
| Axan | I want to devide my system between a PATA HDD and a FlashCard, I wonder which part of my system to put on the flashcard (only 4GB) ? (I expect my system to be more efficient as Flashcard is faster than HDD) | 04:33 |
| markg | ian_: sorry.. my connection to my server just froze for some reason. | 04:33 |
| sacarlson | biffhero: I"m not sure what a blade is maybe the kernel is the wrong archatechture? | 04:33 |
| Jordan_U | KucukMubasir: Try asking in #ruby. | 04:35 |
| KucukMubasir | thanks Jordan_U | 04:35 |
| Jordan_U | KucukMubasir: You're welcome. | 04:35 |
| === markg is now known as izinucs | ||
| sacarlson | Axan: I guess flashcard would be good for system files like /usr /boot to make it bring up apps faster and boot quicker but bad for like swap since they have a limited write cycle life | 04:36 |
| izinucs | ian_: izinucs = Scunizi backwards | 04:36 |
| ian_ | Well, thank you everyone, my connection is officially established. | 04:36 |
| izinucs | ian_: what was the solution? | 04:36 |
| izinucs | I missed it | 04:36 |
| ian_ | I'm not sure how, but i just ran sudo apt-get update and it worked. | 04:36 |
| izinucs | ian_: great.. now I gotta figure out why my ssh connection to my server just went into oblivion :) | 04:37 |
| Axan | sacarlson, is /bin also a good choice ? | 04:37 |
| ian_ | I think the machine was, pardon my lack of terminology knowledge, "shaking hands" with my router. | 04:37 |
| ian_ | but so far, so good. | 04:37 |
| ian_ | Now, step two. | 04:37 |
| sacarlson | Axan: ya /bin /lib also good | 04:38 |
| c0dege3k | hello. im new to ubuntu and have a question. trying to sync a github repo. but the repo command "isn't found". any help? | 04:38 |
| ian_ | I have OpenSSH on, some people on a minecraft server IRC told me earlier i might need it. | 04:38 |
| izinucs | ian_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 04:38 |
| ian_ | I would like to set up the minecraft server on it, but i haven't the slightest clue. | 04:39 |
| sacarlson | Axan: /sbin also good, bad would also be /var since it has the log files and things that change a lot | 04:39 |

| brotatos | I need help with audio. | 04:42 |
| brotatos | I don't have any sound in Crunchbang 10. But I do hear beeps when I press enter. | 04:42 |
| Starminn | !crunchbang | brotatos | 04:42 |
| ubottu | brotatos: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 04:43 |
| ian_ | bleh... | 04:43 |
| jaraws | Hi, I've just installed Ubuntu on two separate computers using the same Shipit disc and updated the first. If I want to avoid redownloading all the updates, can I just manually transplant the contents of the updated machine's /var/cache/apt/archives into that path on the second one with an external HDD, then run update-manager as usual on the second one? | 04:43 |
| ian_ | upgrade takes forever... | 04:43 |
| brotatos | Awwww. | 04:43 |
| ian_ | oh, i see ufupdown being replaced. hooray. | 04:43 |
| izinucs | ian_: lol.. faster than a windows machine.. you might get a new kernel which will require a reboot | 04:43 |
| sacarlson | Axan: on my system I would put /bin /boot /lib /lib64 /sbin /usr /sbin on the flash drive | 04:43 |
| arand | jaraws: I reckon you should be able to yes. | 04:44 |
| sacarlson | Axan: opps /sbin only need to be there one time | 04:44 |
| Axan | "one time" ? | 04:44 |
| ian_ | izinucs: would you mind telling me which does what? of sudo apt-get: update, upgrade, dist-upgrade? | 04:44 |
| ndxtg | jaraws: next time just do one then use partimage to clone the hdd | 04:44 |
| sacarlson | Axan: yes typo | 04:45 |
| biffhero | sacarlson: yeah, that's what I thought. uname -a on another one shows me that I have an i686 architechture installed. But to be sure, I am downloading the 386 server iso right now. These have transmeta CPUs on them. | 04:45 |
| Axan | I don't understand ? | 04:45 |
| izinucs | ian_: update simply updates the database of available packages.. upgrade does just that.. and dist-upgrade looks for newer versions of programs/packages | 04:45 |
| sacarlson | biffhero: it might need the arm build | 04:45 |
| jaraws | arand: okay, all the transplanted deb files show in the destination comp's /var/cache/apt/archives with an "X" icon in nautilus. is that a problem, and does it reflect a permissions issue? | 04:46 |
| ian_ | izinucs: thanks. Just wanted to know out of curiosity. | 04:46 |
| Axan | sacarlson, and, how did you organise your flash card partition table ? Did you make a partition for each mount point ? | 04:46 |
| jaraws | do i need to run a chown or soemthing if the admin username on the first machine is different? | 04:46 |
| sacarlson | Axan: I don't have a flash card, why you want to give me one? | 04:46 |
| bastidrazor | jaraws: the filed to be owned by root | 04:46 |
| biffhero | sacarlson: hrmm… here's "uname -a" from another one. "Linux fork 2.6.18-4-686 #1 SMP Mon Mar 26 17:17:36 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux" | 04:46 |
| ian_ | once my window XP slows down, i hope to put ubuntu on it... | 04:46 |
| Axan | sacarlson, well, a flash drive | 04:46 |
| izinucs | ian_: why wait? | 04:47 |
| ian_ | is there a benefit to installing an LTS rather than 10,10? | 04:47 |
| jaraws | bastidrazor: so what do the x signs mean then? | 04:47 |
| sacarlson | biffhero: what is that? one that is working? | 04:47 |
| bastidrazor | jaraws: that the user viewing them does not have proper permissions. | 04:47 |
| izinucs | ian_: lts is supported for 3 years.. server for 5.. 10.10 18 months | 04:47 |
| arand | !aptproxy | jaraws this might also be of interest if you end up wanting this often | 04:47 |
| ubottu | jaraws this might also be of interest if you end up wanting this often: apt-proxy is a program that acts as a local apt repository server for a LAN, only fetching from the internet when required. To set it up see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy | 04:47 |
| ian_ | izinucs: my dadwould probably kill me, he thinks he's a computer genius. and why is the support? why would you rather have it? | 04:47 |
| biffhero | sacarlson: yessir, this one is working fine. | 04:48 |
| === ExplodingPiglets is now known as Zeku | ||
| biffhero | That's why I think I am grasping at straws to go with the 386. | 04:48 |
| jaraws | bastidrazor: what does that mean? will the improper permissions cause me problems? how do i rectify them? why don't they show with that on the original machine if they're simply owned by "root"? | 04:48 |
| poobird | hi | 04:49 |
| ian_ | izinucs: it's not like i don't want to, it's simply not an option since my dad is more knowledgable as far as hardware goes, and he's fluent in dos, so i would probably die if i dared partition the hard drive. | 04:49 |
| sacarlson | biffhero: then it should work fine with an i386 build or 32bit as we call them | 04:49 |
| izinucs | ian_: why is the support ?? .. I've found that everything I need is in linux/ubuntu and easier to get. cheaper too.. with the exception of Internet Explorer which I need for work most of the time. | 04:49 |
| biffhero | sacarlson: agreed. | 04:49 |
| sqwertle | I'm trying to get a linksys wireless card (WUSB54GSv2) setup on 10.04 and am running into some troubles. ndiswrapper -l shows "wusb54gsv2 : driver installed" and lsusb shows "Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1737:0075 Linksys" but it does not seem to be working. iwconfig shows no wireless extensions and I'm not sure what to do at this point. | 04:49 |
| administrator_ | hhh | 04:49 |
| poobird | how can i find out what service is controlling my 21 port? | 04:49 |
| sacarlson | biffhero: it might have limited mem so maybe needs a custom build without any uneeded stuf | 04:50 |
| arand | jaraws: Normally the files in there are 644 and owned by root, seems like the files you copied turned out as 640, it shouldn't matter in practice i reckon since you need to be root to install anyways | 04:50 |
| ChogyDan | sqwertle: do you have to modprob ndiswrapper? | 04:50 |
| bastidrazor | jaraws: if root owns them and they are rw by root then you're fine. its the 'other' permissions that would determine that.. it is not an issue | 04:50 |
| izinucs | ian_: put the live cd on a usb stick and plug it in the back of his computer.. then set it to boot to the usb stick.. that would be fun on april 1st ..:) | 04:50 |
| poobird | how can i find out what service is controlling my 21 port? | 04:50 |
| biffhero | sacarlson: would that limited memory cause the kernel to not boot? that's a good idea. These have 256M RAM. | 04:50 |
| biffhero | poobird: netstat -ln | grep -i 21 | 04:50 |
| bastidrazor | jaraws: "that" being the reason you have an X on them | 04:50 |
| jaraws | bastidrazor: ah, makes sense. thank you. | 04:50 |
| poobird | ty | 04:50 |
| c0dege3k | Jordan_U: in the file under github.com/r2doesinc/android it says to use the repo command | 04:50 |
| sacarlson | biffhero: of course it would cause a problem, you need about 512meg to run ubuntu these days | 04:51 |
| sqwertle | ChogyDan: "FATAL: Error inserting ndiswrapper (/lib/modules/2.6.32.21-generic/kernel/ubuntu/ndiswraper/ndiswrapper.ko): Operation not permitted" | 04:51 |
| Axan | sacarlson, so, did you create a partition on your flash drive for each mount point ? | 04:51 |
| ChogyDan | sqwertle: try with sudo | 04:51 |
| bastidrazor | jaraws: you're welcome | 04:51 |
| arand | jaraws: I guess the default for all new files is set as such, and got applied when you copied them onto the system. | 04:51 |
| c0dege3k | but it says it doesn't exist | 04:51 |
| biffhero | sacarlson: holy cats. That's amazing. How can I set it to use less? | 04:51 |
| sqwertle | ChogyDan: no output at all | 04:51 |
| jaraws | arand: I see. | 04:51 |
| sacarlson | Axan: I think you didn't get it i DON"T HAVE a flash drive | 04:52 |
| ian_ | izinucs: he would know immediatly. that only works on technologicaly-illiterate people. XD | 04:52 |
| jaraws | How does one go about changing the main interface language to Hindi? | 04:52 |
| ian_ | i'm tempted to do it to my friends. | 04:52 |
| sacarlson | biffhero: strip out all uneeded modules | 04:52 |
| Jordan_U | c0dege3k: The earlier instructions tell you how to get the "repo" script. | 04:52 |
| izinucs | ian_: still.. it'd give him a chance to give it a try .. he might be suprised.. | 04:53 |
| ChogyDan | sqwertle: shrug, did it work? | 04:53 |
| ian_ | izinucs: how does the installation onto a usb stick differ from installation on a cd? not actual installation, but putting the .iso image on the usb? | 04:53 |
| biffhero | sacarlson: ahh, thanks. I will look into making a smaller setup. | 04:53 |
| Axan | sacarlson, oh, sorry you said "I would" ^^ | 04:53 |
| sqwertle | ChogyDan: nope, its been doing that, nothings changed | 04:53 |
| izinucs | ian_: once it's there.. nothing other than it's a bit faster | 04:53 |
| sacarlson | Axan: yes I would if I had one do it like ^^^^ | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | c0dege3k: If you didn't previously have a ~/bin directory you'll need to create it and log out and back in again (or run "bash -l") to have it added to your $PATH automatically. | 04:54 |
| ChogyDan | sqwertle: did you use the windows xp driver? | 04:54 |
| c0dege3k | Jordan_U: ok. thanks | 04:54 |
| ian_ | izinucs: but only on a usb 2.0 port, rather than a 1.1, right? | 04:54 |
| Jordan_U | c0dege3k: You're welcome. | 04:54 |
| izinucs | ian_: either.. | 04:54 |
| sacarlson | Axan: and as your being so generous I thought you said you were going to donate one to me | 04:54 |
| Bogus8 | vimpulse: you around? | 04:54 |
| Bogus8 | oops | 04:55 |
| ian_ | izinucs: isn't it something like 12 mbps vs 480 mbps? | 04:55 |
| sqwertle | ChodyDan: I'm not 100% sure, I got the drivers from a tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225206 | 04:55 |
| Axan | sacarlson, ok, so my problem is that I only have 4G on my flashcard so it is a problem if I have to allow a fixed size to each partitions, cause I don't really know what size should be good.. It is a good idea to create only only partition on the flashcard, and make symbolic links ? | 04:55 |
| izinucs | ian_: yes.. but still seems faster than cd | 04:55 |
| Axan | sacarlson, as you see, my "flash drive" is a cheap 4G flash CARD. ^^ | 04:55 |
| ChogyDan | sqwertle: that guide says you don't need ndiswrapper | 04:55 |
| Bogus8 | why would my server just switch IP addresses? I have a fresh install of ubuntu 10.4 server and all of a sudden my putty dropped it's session. So I ping it and nothing...

I restart networking again and I'm back at my static IP... what | 04:55 |

| izinucs | Bogus8: WEIRD | 04:56 |
| Jordan_U | ian_: When you "install" Ubuntu to a flash drive using Unetbootin / Startup Disk Creator you can't upgrade the kernel, among other things. | 04:57 |
| ian_ | izinucs: it would help as far as portability. | 04:57 |
| sacarlson | Axan: well you can resize partitions and even easier with lvm but I guess symbolic links would also work | 04:57 |
| sqwertle | ChogyDan: step 2 requires you download, step 3 install, step 4 configure ndiswrapper | 04:57 |
| izinucs | ian_: yes.. I think unetbootin will do htat.. | 04:57 |
| rww | ian_: http://rww.name/articles/grub2iso.html . It's not simple, and there might be GUI solutions. | 04:57 |
| Bogus8 | rww: unless ubuntu server installs it no... I installed LAMP, ssh, samba when I installed it. | 04:57 |
| ChogyDan | sqwertle: step 0 says you should ignore the whole guide | 04:57 |
| biffhero | I also see the alternat installation CD, maybe that will give me something lighter. | 04:57 |
| ian_ | wah, seems complicated. Thanks anyways. | 04:57 |

| Axan | sacarlson, because the flashcard contain less folder than the HDD, so less symlinks to define ? | 05:03 |
| Axan | but LVM is probably a better option | 05:03 |
| Axan | I'm not very confident about symlinks | 05:04 |
| ian_ | thanks for all the help, i'm off to bed. | 05:04 |
| ian_ | Good night! | 05:04 |
| Bogus8 | bazhang: my IP address has changed back to a DHCP address every night about this time for no reason.. fresh install of 10.4 server with no odd packages installed. | 05:04 |
| bazhang | Bogus8, isp reset? | 05:04 |
| ian_ | and scuzini: thanks for everything. | 05:04 |
| Bogus8 | bazhang: i'm talking about behind a router (linksys) | 05:04 |
| ChogyDan | sqwertle: I dunno : ( maybe try linux-backports-modules? | 05:04 |
| [thor] | lahwran: does the installed ubuntu boot correctly now? | 05:05 |
| biffhero | sacarlson: thanks. | 05:05 |
| Bogus8 | bazhang: I have another server on this network set up the same (different IP obviously) and I have ZERO issues. | 05:05 |
| Bogus8 | I've also set up another 10.4 server for a friend and never had this issue. | 05:05 |
| sacarlson | ok time for my breakfast be back later | 05:05 |
| izinucs | Bogus8: have you done all the updates on that fresh install? | 05:05 |
| Bogus8 | izinucs: yep | 05:05 |
| lahwran | [thor]: it's during install | 05:05 |
| izinucs | Bogus8: including dist-upgrade? | 05:05 |
| artemwolf | is there a fix for rhythmbox playing two tracks at once? It keeps doing it sometimes | 05:06 |
| === Logan_WP is now known as FarkingBish | ||
| Bogus8 | I even take notes when I do installs so that I can follow them at a later time and not have to "relearn" simple things like this. | 05:06 |
| lahwran | and my friend has stopped answering | 05:06 |
| Bogus8 | izinucs: I did not do a dist-upgrade... I always get conflicting opinions on doing that. | 05:06 |
| Bogus8 | izinucs: some say ONLY should do that IF I am upgrading from an older distro... which is what the name implies. | 05:06 |
| izinucs | Bogus8: I always do it.. espicially after a fresh install.. it creates a "latest" baseline | 05:06 |
| bazhang | Bogus8, dist-upgrade does not change versions | 05:07 |
| izinucs | Bogus8: however that's not what it does | 05:07 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | 05:07 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. | 05:07 |
| Bogus8 | izinucs: all the same, surely is no reason for my IP to change if I have the proper config setup. If I restart networking (via /etc/init.d/networking restart) everything goes back to normaly... for about 24 hours | 05:07 |
| izinucs | Bogus8: unless there is an updated version for the dhcp portion of the system | 05:08 |
| === FarkingBish is now known as _Logan_ | ||
| Bogus8 | that would be a serious bug though... I would hope they would have caught it on a server release destined for LTS ;) | 05:08 |
| === _Logan_ is now known as __Logan__ | ||
| izinucs | Bogus8: that's why the full upgrade to catch stuff that is not in the iso. | 05:09 |
| opcbo | quit | 05:09 |
| Bogus8 | izinucs: still... something that basic and fundamental? You think that would slide? | 05:09 |
| Bogus8 | 99% of servers out there are probably static | 05:10 |
| zombie_ | zombie | 05:10 |
| zombie_ | woops sry | 05:10 |

| === Dusti is now known as Guest21916 | ||
| izinucs | Bogus8: I agree that if you've set it for a static ip it shouldn't suddenly switch. perhaps uninstalling the client that controls dhcp would help prevent that.. just guessing though.. my server never strays from the static ip. is the ip outside of the range set for dhcp in your router? | 05:11 |
| sqwertle | I'm trying to setup a linksys WUSB54GSv2 wireless adapter on a 10.04 machine. lsusb shows the driver, ndiswrapper says its installed, and modprobe ndiswrapper doesn't show any output.

| izinucs | Bogus8: just a though. might take a look at the logs and see if you can find anything.. also dmesg | 05:13 |

| sqwertle | hylian: for the most part, it wasn't working directly out of the box, I didn't try multiple USB ports but as far as I know no such luck | 05:48 |
| MoMo | Loshki: So i'm trying this, however when i try and use it the stderr doesn't go into the file like when i run a succuessful command | 05:49 |
| MoMo | echo this_makes_an_error | bash 2>&1 file | 05:49 |
| quizme | after you install a driver and reboot, is there anything else you're supposed to do to install a new piece of hardware ? | 05:49 |
| Jordan_U | bragr: VLC uses ALSA just fine, so padsp isn't the right choice in this case. But I've never tried to use a mic with VLC so I don't know what should be done. | 05:49 |
| Jordan_U | bragr: Is there a reason you want to use VLC rather than a simple purpose built app like Cheeze? | 05:50 |
| lulzay | I have an SSD as my win 7 drive. I installed a new HD for ubuntu. Ubuntu seems to install fine [other than some garbled area uptop], but when i do m first reboot after install, it boots into windows. i then went and set the ubuntu hd as primary boot, then it just went to black screen with cursor | 05:50 |
| dr_Willis_ | Ive see some guides like for for 'gtk-recordmydesktop' mention a pulse device. If yo run pavchooser and set it up right | 05:50 |
| dr_Willis_ | I never did figure out how to get record-my desktop to record system sounds :) | 05:51 |
| Loshki | MoMo: sorry, I'm gonna have to refer you to #bash at this point... | 05:51 |
| Jordan_U | lulzay: Do you have any other drives? Unfortunately Ubuntu's installer doesn't always install grub to the same drive that it installs the rest of Ubuntu to. | 05:51 |
| MoMo | oh yeah lol | 05:51 |
| MoMo | thanks Loshki | 05:51 |
| dr_Willis_ | but the guides did mention just using 'pulse' as the device. and running pavchooser, or some pav* control tool. | 05:51 |
| lulzay | Jordan_U: yes i do. i have 2 2tb storage drives. should i unplug them for ubuntu install? | 05:52 |
| quizme | how do i get a USB dongle to show up in ifconfig ? | 05:52 |
| maco | dr_Willis_: padevchooser is the name | 05:52 |
| Jordan_U | lulzay: If that's most convenient, yes. It's easy to fix without doing that though. | 05:52 |
| lulzay | i guess i can try and unplug them, i have my case open | 05:53 |
| lulzay | let me go try that | 05:53 |
| lulzay | I might be back in 30 minutes :) | 05:53 |
| Jordan_U | lulzay: Wait. | 05:53 |
| lulzay | yes? | 05:53 |
| bragr | Jordan_U: The problem isn't with vlc's sound support, its just that when using its capture from device feature, it demand devices in the form of /dev/foo. Also VLC offers a lot of options in terms of scaling, compression, etc | 05:53 |
| Jordan_U | lulzay: It's probably easiest to just try booting from each of the storage drives, as grub will have been installed to one of your drives, then once Ubuntu is booted run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change what drive grub gets installed to. | 05:54 |
| hylian | sqwertle, i have some strange news. i have read conflicting reports on this. most of the reports on errors with this card ended 2006/2007 | 05:54 |

| sqwertle | hylian: how exactly do I go about doing that? | 06:04 |
| icedtea | anyone know how to left shift or right shift with bc? | 06:05 |
| el_seano | dr_Willis_: I don't have a ~/.vlc, just a ~/.config/vlc | 06:05 |
| el_seano | already scoured it, didn't come up with anythingm./ | 06:05 |
| hylian | sqwertle, after reading yet another post, i found that some of the sys files needed for the ndiswrapper are not present, did you see this data? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/linksys-wusb54gs-494095/ | 06:05 |

| el_seano | nothing comes up with `sudo find /var/log -name *vlc*` either :/ | 06:06 |
| hylian | sqwertle, i wouldn't uninstall ndiswrapper, i dont feel secure about some of the advice i saw. i think you still need it. | 06:06 |
| waperboy | el_seano, I think that if you haven't specified it, it just writes to stdout | 06:07 |
| [thor] | homiethesock: i use a Hercules GTXP7.1 ( pci card with a breakout box ) | 06:07 |

| EvRoot | @fjodor:Well doing a sudo apt-get install *whatever* fails when I don't have the latest updates but then works just fine when after I have installed the updates. | 06:31 |
| Fjodor | EvRoot: That sounds weird. What error does it give? | 06:32 |
| ardchoille | EvRoot: That shouldn't happen, never seen that before | 06:32 |
| CodeWar | ardchoille, you rock!! | 06:33 |
| [thor] | EvRoot: which security updates are you referring to? | 06:33 |
| ardchoille | CodeWar :) | 06:33 |
| nRy | can someone help me please? I have two extra hard drives hooked up to my Ubuntu 10.10 server OS system. However each time I reboot the server the drives do not show up in the directory /mnt/... | 06:33 |
| Fjodor | !fstab|nRy | 06:34 |
| ubottu | nRy: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 06:34 |
| EvRoot | @fjodor: well normally it is just the "package not found" error. Every single security update since release I think, I'm currently running one machine off a live cd and the second was just installed and has none. | 06:34 |
| nRy | someone set this up for me and I can't figure it out right now but need to get these drives to be visable before I can go to sleep | 06:34 |

| Fjodor | EvRoot: Have you tried installing any packages *after* searching for updates on the second box? | 06:38 |
| hensem | can someone help me? | 06:38 |
| CodeWar | hensem think of {} as the temp variable in which each output of your find goes ... much like the temp in for (temp: list{ | 06:38 |
| hensem | oh i see for each... | 06:39 |
| hensem | but ';'? | 06:39 |
| [thor] | EvRoot: you can search your updated cache with "apt-cache search <package>" | 06:39 |
| hensem | what is the function of that semicolon? | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | hensem: That signifies the end of the arguments that go with -exec, i.e. the end of the command that should be executed for each file. | 06:39 |
| ardchoille | hensem: ";" simply means stop, it can be used between commands such as "echo "h"; echo "hello" | 06:40 |

| meowsus | A friend gave me her Windows Vista machine which was loaded with viruses to fix. I'm trying to backup her home folder onto an external drive into multi-part archives (with rar) but i keep getting, pretty generic, "Error Input/Output" messages. This happens regardless of the compression method or if i just try to copy the files to the external drive. | 06:45 |
| meowsus | Any idea why that might be happening? Is it a drive failure issue? Is there a way i can get more information on the error | 06:45 |
| Fjodor | meowsus: Do those errors pertain to the internal or the external disk? | 06:45 |
| Fjodor | meowsus: And yes, it's normally indicative of a hard drive failure | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | meowsus: which device gives the errors and when? | 06:46 |
| cipher__ | Say i have 0 = 5000(.9)^t; i cannot use logarithms since 0 is outside its domain, and even if i approximate 0 to be say, .000001 i am still confused on how to set it up. I realize this is completely OT but if you can help please feel free to PM me (i am using ubuntu to calculate it :D ) | 06:46 |
| kroms | Fjodor, does vista also have the "user security" issue with copying them from linux? I know windows 7 has that when you try to access another drive with windows 7 on it. | 06:46 |
| kroms | Fjodor, you have to give "access" or type in your password to make sure you have access to the system/user files. | 06:46 |
| meowsus | It seems to be coming from the Internal drive, the drive i'm backing up... but it literally says "Error Input/Output" | 06:46 |
| red2kic | Using Windows alone is a security risk. IMO. :) | 06:47 |
| Fjodor | kroms: I can't imagine, but I don't know since I haven't used windows sine 1998... | 06:47 |
| kroms | Fjodor, LOL | 06:47 |
| meowsus | I'm pretty sure it's stopping on the same file. When i use the "Compress" GUI it gives me the option to Skip, but i don't want to "Skip All" for fear it will skip too many files | 06:47 |
| meowsus | There's also 45.8GB so i don't want to sit here and hit "Okay" for every exception. | 06:48 |
| cipher__ | bah i will go calculate it on debian | 06:48 |
| [thor] | meowsus: winrar's "skip" will only skip one file at a time | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | meowsus: you may need to put it in a windows system and convent it to a non-dynamic partition | 06:48 |
| meowsus | Yeah | 06:48 |
| Fjodor | meowsus: Ok, well, it is normally indicative of a hard drive failure, but as kroms possibly alluded to, there may be something else, though I can't imagine it. does dmesg|tail say something? | 06:48 |
| meowsus | Fjodor, let me see | 06:49 |
| sqwertle | any idea why my lsusb would be freezing? | 06:49 |

| Fjodor | meowsus: The internal drive, in other words, and it does look like drive failure to me. 2 secs... | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | meowsus: make sure the partitions aren't dynamic | 06:51 |
| meowsus | I'm also running Ubuntu off a 16GB thumb drive to be able to access it at all. | 06:51 |

| [thor] | Syria: i don't think there is a restriction on where you put it, as long as there is ample disk space. a safe place might be /usr/bin/ however the installation might drop several files/folders and i'm not certain how that in /usr/bin | 07:00 |

| daniel_ | i have tried both a cd and a thumb drive the cd keeps saying its blank and the thumb drive is showing the files jsut not installing it | 07:02 |
| daniel_ | ok | 07:03 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: and/or usb or cd | 07:03 |
| alex_ | how much is "professional" ubuntu support? and does it suck much much less than Red Hat? | 07:03 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: Secondly, how did you put the install files on the thumb drive? | 07:03 |
| aurilliance | How can I use mv to move a long list of files into one directory? | 07:03 |
| daniel_ | the instrutions on the official website | 07:03 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: Ok, strange, then, but then do have a look in the bios and make sure that it can boot from usb | 07:04 |
| alex_ | cool. | 07:04 |
| Jordan_U | aurilliance: Where is the list coming from / how is it formatted? | 07:04 |
| Fjodor | aurilliance: Meaning that the files are in several different dirs now? | 07:05 |
| alex_ | Ubuntu "professional" training assumes you already know everything and don't need to take the course. but you pay someone anyways http://www.ubuntu.com/support/training/course-descriptions <------ assessment survey | 07:05 |
| aurilliance | Jordan_U, Fjodor nope, they're all in the same directory. I'm just typing each name one by one. | 07:05 |
| aurilliance | Eg "mv this that one the other file.js file.html file.whatever" | 07:05 |
| Fjodor | aurilliance: from that dir, do mv * other_dir | 07:05 |
| daniel_ | Fjodor, it has on the list of boot sequences it has 1 usb storage device 2 cd dvd cdrw drive 3 internal hdd 4 onbouard nic 5 diskette drive | 07:06 |
| aurilliance | Fjodor, with mv, is the last directory you pass in used as the destination directory then? THat's what I'm not sure about. | 07:06 |
| Fjodor | aurilliance: Exactly | 07:06 |
| aurilliance | And I can't do *, because there are some files I don't want moved int he current dir. | 07:06 |
| aurilliance | Fjodor, ok. | 07:06 |

| Fjodor | daniel_: Strange that it doesn't boot from the thumb drive, then. You *are* sure that you used the startup disk creator? | 07:07 |
| aurilliance | THanks all. Worked a charm | 07:07 |
| bazhang | Mr_Midnight, dont paste here | 07:07 |
| [thor] | fuck | 07:08 |
| [thor] | sorry | 07:08 |
| Raj007 | a good IDENT daemon would be? | 07:08 |
| daniel_ | Fjodor, yes i just remforated it and now im about to redo the process | 07:08 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: Wassup? | 07:08 |
| [thor] | i just used that install.pl and it erased every file in /usr/bin/ | 07:09 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: Do report back then. I'm not sure what else can cause it :-( | 07:09 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: Ouch :-S | 07:09 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: Didn't follow above, though, where is that script from? | 07:10 |
| daniel_ | Fjodor, have any idea why the cd keeps showing up blank after i use the instrutions and it says success on the program i write it with | 07:10 |
| Syria | [thor]: i have installed it in the usr/bin folder but I have i can't access the application icon on my desktop, i think its a permissions thing. | 07:10 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: Not really, I'm afraid. Sounds weird as well... | 07:10 |
| [thor] | Fjodor: a mailer client from the company's page | 07:11 |
| tripelbaby | ub 10.04 Openoffice word has toolbars over half my page and I cant seem to get rid of them. I'd like an alternative. Abiword is for windows. Any clue? | 07:11 |
| [thor] | Fjodor: bash is gone, but i can get a prompt with CTRL-ALT-F1 | 07:11 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: Ok, that's unfortunate :-( | 07:11 |
| daniel_ | Fjodor, u think the comp is just &*(*(& up or is there a way to do it? | 07:11 |
| Jordan_U | tripelbaby: Abiword is available for linux as well. | 07:11 |
| [thor] | Fjodor: /usr/bin/python is gone.. so nothing is loading properly | 07:12 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: There is always a way, but it would be hard for me to assist without being there physically :-( | 07:13 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: Also, I need to get ready for uni soon... | 07:13 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: I feel for you :-( | 07:13 |
| daniel_ | Fjodor, i have team viewer 6 | 07:13 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: hopefully, you have your /home on a separate partition? | 07:14 |
| Syria | [thor]: did this happen after executing install.pl for zimbra mail client? | 07:14 |
| [thor] | there is no undo for this is there? my gui and everything is still working, xchat is running.. but i have a feelign that as soon as i reboot, it's all going south | 07:14 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: Wouldn't do much good for bios settings and boot, would it? | 07:14 |
| [thor] | Syria: yeah | 07:14 |
| Syria | [thor]: I had the same stupid issue!!! | 07:14 |
| [thor] | Fjodor: /home/ is on a separate drive | 07:14 |
| daniel_ | Fjodor, well it would let u make the startupdisc with this computer | 07:15 |
| [thor] | Syria: i think the technical term for the state of our /usr/bin folders is FUBAR | 07:16 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: Well, I wonder why it didn't work in the first place, but the program has a limited set of options, so I don't think that'll make a lot of difference | 07:16 |
| daniel_ | yeh i guess | 07:16 |
| Syria | [thor]: Next time execute the file user-install.pl only. | 07:16 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: I think your most time-effective course of action is a reinstall, I'm afraid, then :-( | 07:16 |
| [thor] | Fjodor: do you think copying the /usr/bin folder from the LiveCD would get the basics back and running? | 07:17 |
| daniel_ | Fjodor, well thanks for helping :D \ | 07:17 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: Possibly | 07:17 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: Np and good luck | 07:17 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: Once you try that, you should also look into if apt has some facilities for checking up on the state of installed packages and correcting | 07:18 |
| daniel_ | Fjodor, omg i got it to work i used a diff thumb drive maybe the other one just was bad idk why though i still use it to hold movies and wacth them on my xbox | 07:18 |
| [thor] | Syria: what i should have done was specify /usr/bin/mailerclient instead of /usr/bin | 07:18 |
| Fjodor | daniel_: Good to hear! But perhaps you should look into retiring it ;-) | 07:19 |
| [thor] | Fjodor: unfortunately apt requires python | 07:19 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: I meant *after* copying from the live CD ;-) | 07:19 |
| [thor] | ahh true true | 07:19 |
| [thor] | well, no time like the present.. now to find a liveCD | 07:20 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: As for specifying, that's partially why it's a good idea to do things outside of apt in /usr/local/ ;-) | 07:20 |
| [thor] | :D | 07:20 |
| Fjodor | You would still have destroyed /usr/local/bin but it wouldn't have touched your base system... | 07:21 |
| kroms | Anyone have a "recommended" repo for 10.10 updates? I don't think im getting all of the appropriate updates for ubuntu | 07:23 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/msg331775.html | 07:23 |

| Fjodor | kroms: Check System -> Administration -> Software Sources | 07:24 |
| d9500 | kroms: ubuntu generally only updates a small selection of software, plus gives security updates, between releases. you can enable backports to get some newer software, and there's ppa's for a lot more of it. | 07:24 |
| tripelb | I tried that "control alt F1" and had to do a hard reboot to get back. -- I thought, oh a cool way to get a cli. -- Please tell me, what did I do? How come I could not get back to the gui? Could I have? | 07:24 |
| stuart | I have an interesting problem and would greatly appreciate help...my situation is described at this http://superuser.com/questions/185484/straight-to-grub-prompt-on-boot | 07:24 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: Well, use ff then. This is for after you copy over from the live CD | 07:25 |
| [thor] | tripelb: CTRL-ALT-F7 | 07:25 |
| d9500 | tripelb: alt+f7 | 07:25 |
| stuart | however, the solution described there isn't working for me... | 07:25 |
| d9500 | no need to add ctrl if you're already on a vt | 07:25 |
| kroms | d9500, is there some that you recommend? Where can I read up on this? | 07:25 |
| [thor] | tripelb: 1 thru 6 will give you prompts, 7 the gui | 07:25 |
| d9500 | kroms: what are you looking to get more updates for? jsust a web browser? music player? your whole graphics stack? | 07:25 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: Basically, it's how to make a list of all installed packages and use that to reinstall all packages. This should bring your /usr/bin up to full speed again | 07:26 |
| tripelb | I did control alt F1 -- aer you saying that alt F7 is the way to get out of it? d9500 [thor] --- what do you call what I got to? I logged in and exited. that didnt help, lol. | 07:26 |
| kroms | d9500, Graphics card drivers, perhaps new synaptics drivers, and I honestly don't know what else I should have updated for ubuntu. | 07:26 |
| === tripelb is now known as triplebaby | ||
| Fjodor | kroms: Look at my post above and check the tab called Updates | 07:27 |
| kroms | Like, my trackpad is a bit sketchy when using ubuntu, very shaky etc. | 07:27 |
| [thor] | tripelb: ctrl-alt-F7 from the CTRL-ALT-F1 ( tty1 virtual terminal ) will take you to tty7 ( where the gui is ). | 07:27 |
| kroms | Fjodor, is that within the Update Manager? | 07:27 |
| [thor] | triplebaby: switching back from tty1 after logging in will not log that session out | 07:28 |
| Fjodor | Nope, it's the menu in the top panel. System -> Administration -> Software Sources | 07:28 |
| Fjodor | kroms: ^ | 07:28 |
| [thor] | triplebaby: you can always go back to it and resume whatever it was you were doing | 07:28 |
| kroms | Fjodor, I'm in that section, but there's no option for Software Sources. | 07:28 |
| d9500 | tripelb: ok, ubuntu effectively has 7 different screens you can work on. that's not an exact or technicially correct description, but it'll do for purposes of uderstanding how ctrl+alt+F1-7 work. screens 1-6 are called Vts (virtual termina,lls i think) and screen 7 is your graphical session (xorg). if you hit ctrl+alt+f1 (or f2, f3, etc) it will move the view on your monitor to the corresponding VT. to get back to the graphical session, alt+f7 to get bac | 07:29 |
| d9500 | k to screen 7. | 07:29 |
| Fjodor | kroms: That's weird... 2 sec | 07:29 |
| kroms | Fjodor, yeah :( | 07:29 |
| d9500 | kroms: xorg-edgers ppa on lauchpad for new graphics card drivers if you use open source drivers. if you use binary drivers thougugh, be careful, b/c xorg-edgers is dev. packages. they break the programming interface often enough that sometimes binary only drivers don't work for a while. | 07:30 |
| kroms | ah :( | 07:30 |

| kroms | perhaps I'll just leave it alone for a while then. If it's working, don't "fix" it. haha | 07:30 |
| Fjodor | kroms: Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, but you didn't go into the Applications menu by mistake, right? | 07:30 |
| triplebaby | [thor], I'll remember to try the other F's "next time" | 07:30 |
| [thor] | triplebaby: try it right now :D i know it will work | 07:30 |
| kroms | Fjodor, yeah, System > Admin > Nothing there for "Software Sources" unfortunately. | 07:31 |
| d9500 | kroms: no, scratch that. be careful anyway. those packages can and sometimes do break even a stable, open source only graphics stack. | 07:31 |
| Fjodor | kroms: Very strange. 2 sec | 07:31 |
| Fjodor | kroms: Try gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk | 07:32 |
| kroms | what does that do? | 07:32 |
| Fjodor | kroms: It's the launch command for that menu entry on my system | 07:33 |
| kroms | Ah, gotcha. | 07:33 |
| kroms | Now that I see this, this option area is within the "Update Manager" > "Settings" | 07:33 |
| kroms | and then "Ubuntu Software" tab. | 07:33 |
| kroms | It's not its own client. | 07:34 |
| Syria | what is the network discovery ? enabled or disabled how to? | 07:34 |
| Fjodor | kroms: How do you mean? Also, have a look in the Updates tab | 07:35 |
| kroms | Fjodor, the only way to get to this screen (the one you linked me to) is to go to System > Updates Manager > Settings > "Ubuntu Software" tab | 07:35 |
| stuart | Any suggestions on my grub problem? I suspect that someone better versed in linux can help pretty quickly... | 07:36 |
| kroms | and the Update manager says "Package was updated 144 days ago". This is what is worrying me. haha | 07:36 |
| Fjodor | kroms: Hmmm, ok, that's weird, but at least you're there... | 07:36 |
| kroms | Fjodor, yes, thank you! :) | 07:37 |
| Fjodor | Under the Updates tab, what does it say for automatic update? | 07:37 |
| Fjodor | kroms: ^ | 07:37 |
| kroms | Fjodor, only ones checked are "Check for updates _daily_. Also, only notify about updates. | 07:38 |
| Fjodor | kroms: then the 144 days sound strange | 07:38 |
| kroms | Fjodor, release Upgrade - set to Normal Releases. and Ubuntu Updates are set to - "Important security updates" "recommended updates". But the Pre-released is unchecked, and unsupported is unchecked as well. | 07:39 |
| inckie | how can i change which monitor is primary and secondary? | 07:40 |
| Fjodor | kroms: well, I have all checked and don't have any problems, but your mileage may vary. At any rate, you should click "check now" in the normal update manager window soon and perhaps google for "update manager" daily check problem | 07:40 |
| Fjodor | kroms: Or something like that | 07:40 |
| kroms | Fjodor, Yeah, the only thing I can think of that could be causing the issue is that I get errors with launchpad ppa's int he system. | 07:41 |
| Fjodor | kroms: Ah, yes, that problem. Look under the tab Other Software | 07:41 |
| tony_mahoon | hey guys i can ssh from within my lan, but not over the net. any ideas what is causing this? | 07:42 |
| kroms | Is there a way to find updated links to them? | 07:42 |

| tony_mahoon | ddd: so there'll be nothing by default on ubuntu that blocks external access to ssh? | 07:45 |

| dr_Willis_ | you may ned to set up port forwarding on the router to get ssh through | 07:46 |

| stuart | right now I follow the initial directions at http://superuser.com/questions/185484/straight-to-grub-prompt-on-boot to boot the OS...I am sure this means there is some problem with my grub.cfg or the default grub file...thoughts? | 07:58 |
| [thor] | Fjodor: well, i can boot to an Edubuntu 10.10 :/ but how can i tell dpkg that i want to install the package on my main install, and not in the LiveCD temporary install ( to RAMdisk, i suppose ) | 07:59 |
| d9500 | stuart: what are you looking to accomplish? | 07:59 |
| stuart | my computer goes to a grub prompt when it starts, i just want it load the most recent kernel and boot | 08:01 |
| stuart | i don't have a dual boot or anything complicated, so i don't understand what has gone awry | 08:01 |
| casts | [thor]: man chroot | 08:02 |
| [thor] | casts: ok.. i'll do that once i can run man :D | 08:02 |
| [thor] | casts: i assume it is changing my designated root folder? | 08:02 |
| d9500 | stuart: by grub prompt, you mean a menu that has various versions of the kernel listed, like "Ubuntu Linux 2.6.35" and "Ubuntu Linux 2.6.35 (recovery mode)"? | 08:03 |
| stuart | no, no OS is listed...it looks like this "grub>" | 08:04 |
| d9500 | stuart: so you can't boot past that? | 08:04 |
| Fjodor | [thor]: Well, you can mount your root folder and copy over, then reboot and follow my link. That's what I would do | 08:04 |

| d9500 | stuart: i had that same problem once. i just picked options until i found the one that did what i wanted. then once i was booted in, did sudo grub-install on the hard drive sda, then sudo update-grub. that fixed it, and I got a regular grub menu next boot | 08:10 |
| Fjodor | nRy: Well, it complains that the fs you are on is read-only. I note that you said mkdir mnt/sdd and not mkdir /mnt/sdd so is your current working dir on some read-only meadia? | 08:10 |

| d9500 | stuart: before you burn the iso to a cd, download vbox and boot from the iso image. if you can tell me the menu options i might be able to remember the one I used. | 08:13 |
| Fjodor | nRy: Well, you *did* put sudo in front and also, the complaint was that it was read-only. Perhaps you have had some sort of fs failure that prompted the partition to be remounted read-only? | 08:14 |

| Ph03b3 | Good Morning. | 08:14 |
| zombie_ | My head is on fire from trying this is like its not possible to run mame | 08:14 |
| greppy | oxodesign: /var/log | 08:14 |
| koodough | Mine is in the menu | 08:14 |
| Ph03b3 | I'm having a little problem with my xchat. | 08:14 |
| koodough | ontherun: says "Configuration Editor" | 08:14 |
| ontherun | I'm looking | 08:14 |
| Ph03b3 | I don't know how to turn off the auto connect and joing to freenode and this channel. | 08:15 |
| nRy | Fjodor: I am not sure. I do know that my developer is doing some work with Puppet on this server and there are a bunch of items in the /mnt dir that I think are related to a Puppet run | 08:15 |
| nRy | any thoughts on why that might cause the /mnt dir to be read-only? Does Puppet do that while it is running? | 08:15 |
| zombie_ | Does anybody have a clue why my software when I run it I get sent back to the login screen | 08:15 |
| oxodesign | greppy: under what name? Or how can I check in my configuration what path it use or if it is enabled? | 08:16 |
| ontherun | koodough: under preferences? | 08:16 |
| koodough | ontherun: also you can type "gconf-editor" in terminal | 08:16 |
| greppy | oxodesign: by default it will use syslog, so look in /var/log/mail.log, /var/log/mail.err, /var/log/mail.* etc | 08:16 |
| zombie_ | I think this has made me sick | 08:16 |
| zombie_ | ... | 08:17 |
| ontherun | koodough: im in | 08:17 |
| ontherun | now what? | 08:17 |
| casts | zombie_: could run it under strace, or gdb | 08:17 |
| koodough | ontherun: Sweet now go to apps/metacity/general/button_layout | 08:18 |
| oxodesign | greppy: under the log directory I dont have any file that starts with mail.*! | 08:18 |

| === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux | ||
| ontherun | koodough: yes | 08:18 |
| Fjodor | nRy: I don't know what Puppet is and frankly, I'm running out of time, but check your logs for fs failures because I can't see why / or /home/user should be read-only in any other cases | 08:18 |
| ontherun | im there | 08:18 |
| tap-out | i get this error when i ping from windows 7 to my vm ubuntu server destination host unreachable | 08:18 |
| koodough | ontherun: do what you want with it | 08:19 |
| zombie_ | I did this command mame& and I get the login screen | 08:19 |
| tap-out | i get this error when i ping from windows 7 to my vm ubuntu server "destination host unreachable" | 08:19 |
| zombie_ | I can't do anything | 08:19 |
| ontherun | it just says close,minimize,maximize: | 08:19 |
| ontherun | how do I make it fix to the right hand side | 08:20 |
| ontherun | of the window | 08:20 |
| koodough | ontherun: yeah now you can change the order so0o0.... | 08:20 |
| zombie_ | Any ideas whats wrong? Could this be a hardware driver problem | 08:20 |

| d9500 | Ph03b3: click XChat on the menu bar and click enetwork List. Find the network Xchat is auto connecting to, and click the button labeled "edit." Uncheck the box for auto connect at startup.Close edit window with "close" button.Close netwotk list with "close" button. Restart Xchat. | 08:20 |
| koodough | :maximize,minimize,close | 08:20 |
| ontherun | oh... I wanted them fixed to the right hand side | 08:20 |
| ontherun | not the order | 08:20 |
| ontherun | well the order too | 08:21 |
| juk | ontherun: you dont have to ;) | 08:21 |
| koodough | ontherun: but thats gross :P | 08:21 |
| ontherun | haha | 08:21 |
| ontherun | but ive spent 10years doing it this way | 08:21 |
| Ph03b3 | d9500, I've done that, but the xchat never had the connect on startup checked, it just does it. | 08:21 |
| koodough | ontherun: notice where the : colon is | 08:21 |
| tap-out | destination host unreachable ? | 08:21 |
| ontherun | yeah | 08:21 |
| Ph03b3 | If I right click on the channel I can also select auto-join on connect, but it's always been doing that. | 08:22 |
| ontherun | juk: what do you mean | 08:22 |
| d9500 | Ph03b3: and you're using ubuntu? i've never seen the stock xchat package do that. | 08:22 |
| Ph03b3 | I am. | 08:22 |
| ontherun | I don''t have to | 08:22 |
| Ph03b3 | I think I'm using the newest ubuntu. | 08:22 |
| pwnzrlolz | Does anyone here use netbeans for python? | 08:23 |
| ontherun | :D | 08:23 |
| ontherun | I fixed it | 08:23 |
| Ph03b3 | d9500, I figured I try out auto connecting to Freenode like you said, and after that it connected me to two freenodes. | 08:23 |
| ontherun | Thanks koodough! | 08:23 |
| ontherun | it was all in the : | 08:23 |
| koodough | ontherun: NP!! Kudos to me | 08:23 |
| Ph03b3 | at which point I decided I might as well just ask. | 08:23 |
| ontherun | :) | 08:24 |
| d9500 | Ph03b3: well, you can always delete the freenode entry entirely from the xchat menu then add it back manually. it's irc.freenode.net if you need the address to use. | 08:24 |
| sacarlson | how could you use Xinerama to send the secound like right screen to be displayed on another systems xserver screen? and how could you add more than 2 screens? | 08:24 |
| d9500 | no entry means nothing to auto connect to, and hopefully when you create the new entry it'll be better behaved | 08:25 |
| asdfgh | What are differences between Debian and Ubuntu server? | 08:25 |
| Ph03b3 | d9500, Alright, I'll try that now. Although that probably won't work, it seems that the freenode that autoconnects is saved outside of the server list or something. | 08:25 |
| Ph03b3 | Seeing as I had already changed the settings for the freenode autoconnect and they didn't take. | 08:25 |
| greppy | !debian | asdfgh | 08:26 |
| ubottu | asdfgh: 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! | 08:26 |
| KucukMubasir | hi, what does -y do here? sudo apt-get -y install packageName | 08:26 |
| redbox | phoenixsampras: If you live in US, use chat.us.freenode.net :) | 08:26 |
| koodough | sacarlson: know there is a way but the free way is harder | 08:26 |
| sacarlson | asdfgh: not much difference debian just runs slightly older more stable versions | 08:26 |
| _jesse_ | KucukMubasir: man apt-get | 08:26 |
| redbox | KucukMubasir: --yes | 08:26 |
| sacarlson | koodough: I'm poor | 08:26 |
| casts | Ph03b3: some, crazy people, just edit the programs configuration files | 08:26 |
| koodough | sacarlson: me2 I'm looking now | 08:27 |
| sacarlson | koodough: with lots of free time | 08:27 |
| asdfgh | greppy: thanks | 08:27 |
| sacarlson | koodough: this is some of what I have found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo | 08:27 |
| KucukMubasir | redbox: thanks. and what does it do? kind of forcing installation or something else? | 08:27 |
| Ph03b3 | Oh, I would if I knew how. I'm going to restart the programm now and see if deleting the network changed anything. | 08:28 |
| KucukMubasir | ok, found it | 08:28 |
| casts | Ph03b3: it may not be as hard as you think | 08:28 |
| KucukMubasir | thanks _jesse_and redbox | 08:28 |
| Ph03b3 | d9500, looks like I'll need to change the programm files. | 08:28 |
| redbox | KucukMubasir: "man apt-get" or use Ubuntu Software Center if you don't want to use time to read it. It skip the Yes/No confirmation prompt. | 08:28 |
| nRy | Fjodor: `sudo mount -a` worked | 08:29 |
| KucukMubasir | thanks a lot redbox :) | 08:29 |
| Fjodor | nRy: Good to hear :-) | 08:29 |
| nRy | that is all it took | 08:29 |
| nRy | thanks | 08:29 |
| koodough | sacarlson: what your looking for is called multiseat | 08:29 |
| sacarlson | koodough: but this works for a system with like two video cards on a single computer, I have two computers that I want one to be the master and the other just to server one of the displays of xinerama, and later want many systems to server many screens | 08:29 |
| nRy | just wanted to let you know the solution and I am saving for my notes. My developer came online so I was able to ask him | 08:29 |
| casts | you have a developer?! | 08:30 |
| koodough | sacarlson: have you heard of synergy? | 08:30 |
| koodough | I use it alot | 08:30 |
| sacarlson | koodough: I want a panoramic view created from many screens that are on many systems, | 08:30 |
| sacarlson | koodough: yes I run quicksynergy | 08:31 |
| KucukMubasir | I think I need to add some sources to /etc/apt/sources.list to be able to install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk , right? | 08:31 |
| bazhang | !partner | KucukMubasir | 08:31 |
| ubottu | KucukMubasir: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 08:31 |
| redbox | !java | KucukMubasir | 08:31 |
| ubottu | KucukMubasir: 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. | 08:31 |
| koodough | sacarlson: I not quiet sure what you want. Have you looked into a KVM | 08:31 |
| sacarlson | koodough: but that just makes for two screens that I have control from one keyboard mouse | 08:31 |
| juk | i have installed kvm modules, but i still dont have /dev/kvm :( | 08:32 |
| sacarlson | koodough: like viewed like this but using many systems instead of a single box with many video cards http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinerama | 08:32 |
| casts | juk: did you load the modules | 08:32 |
| d9500 | Ph03b3: I've never tried editing the config files before. I did check and AFAIK, there's nothing in /etc. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1548231 explains where the possibly useful files to edit me be located. | 08:33 |
| sacarlson | koodough: no kvm is that all I need to search? | 08:33 |

| koodough | sacarlson: http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html like this!?!? | 08:34 |
| juk | casts: yes, i install qemu-kvm and it builded and load automatically, but qemu still would complain /dev/kvm not found | 08:34 |
| Fjodor | nRy: Well, I just thought that there must be some reason it was read-only in the first place, so do investigate | 08:35 |
| Ph03b3 | d9500, Looking up. | 08:35 |
| koodough | sacarlson: Xdmx check it out | 08:35 |
| KucukMubasir | do you recommend openjava or the proprietary one? | 08:36 |
| d9500 | Ph03b3: seems like you found the directoryalready. servlist.conf would be the first i'd look at | 08:36 |
| KucukMubasir | openJDK* | 08:36 |
| sacarlson | koodough: kvm all I get with a search is Kernel Based Virtual Machine, and the screenrecycler page isn't coming up from my isp | 08:36 |
| joljam | what does tcpdump data mean? | 08:36 |
| KucukMubasir | !openjdk | 08:36 |
| Ph03b3 | Ok. | 08:36 |
| koodough | sacarlson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOzRCBGDVaE goto 6:30 | 08:37 |
| KucukMubasir | joljam: it dumps the data on your port 80 | 08:37 |
| KucukMubasir | so that you can trace the packages | 08:37 |
| redbox | KucukMubasir: Do you need it or you're just installing it because you figure you might need it? I don't have java installed and so far, I don't see much of java websites. | 08:37 |
| KucukMubasir | or monitor* | 08:37 |
| d9500 | Ph03b3: can you pastebin the portion of that file that shows the freenode entry or entries? i'd like to compare it to mine | 08:37 |
| nRy | Fjodor: not really sure | 08:37 |
| Ph03b3 | d9500, Alright. | 08:38 |
| KucukMubasir | I need it because I am installing RubyMine to ubuntu, which requires java | 08:38 |
| sacarlson | koodough: this might be what I need http://dmx.sourceforge.net/ | 08:38 |
| koodough | sacarlson: Yeah | 08:38 |
| d9500 | Ph03b3: on and if you use a password, edit it out before pastebinning it! that file stores passwords in plaintext. | 08:38 |
| redbox | KucukMubasir: Use jdk -- I'd suggest that. | 08:39 |
| d9500 | oh and* | 08:39 |
| KucukMubasir | thanks redbox | 08:39 |
| Fjodor | nRy: Usually, it is caused by fs errors, so look for such, then consider rebooting to have it run fsck... | 08:39 |
| sacarlson | koodough: ya this xdmx is perfect so If I can get that to work on ubuntu | 08:39 |
| Ph03b3 | d9500, Actually, seeing as I deleted the freenode server before restarting the programm, there is no entry for that. | 08:39 |
| koodough | sacarlson: cool, I'm looking into it myself | 08:40 |
| Ph03b3 | There is one for ubuntu though. | 08:40 |
| mehdi | how can i user scp with resume? | 08:40 |
| koodough | sacarlson: it would be useful for the setup I have http://cl.ly/2H0A0K113J3Q1c1b3428 | 08:40 |

| zombie_ | Just got kicked | 08:41 |
| zombie_ | I guess I'll go else where I'm not wanted here | 08:41 |
| gartral | ok, I managed oo trap myself under a rock. i can't boot and login with gdm cause of an ICEauthority issue, meaning i can't get online and i think i pinned the problem down too the fact that i may have accidentally set the wrong permissions too my config when cloneing my /home/user dir between installs.I need a command too make all the data in my /home/user dir mine again. | 08:41 |

| Fjodor | gartral: -R possibly goes before username:userdir - I can't remember, so man chown is in order ;-) | 08:43 |
| mehdi | can some1 tell me wat this means ? then use rsync in the form of | 08:44 |
| mehdi | rsync --partial file_to_transfer user@remotehost:/path/remote_file | 08:44 |
| casts | juk: you need hardware virtualization extensions [enabled] to use kvm | 08:44 |
| koodough | mehdi: do you have a question about the partial? | 08:44 |
| casts | juk: what is that, an old P4? | 08:44 |
| mehdi | no i have question about scp | 08:44 |
| gartral | Fjodor: i'll be back in 2 minutes if it work, 4 otherwise. | 08:45 |
| koodough | mehdi: fill me in | 08:45 |
| mehdi | well i search for scp in order to resume my aborted download and found that | 08:45 |
| Fjodor | gartral: Hopefully not more. I'll get dressed but then it's off to uni for me | 08:45 |
| koodough | rsync is can act like ssh file transfer | 08:45 |
| mehdi | @koodough so how am i supposed to use it i dont understand that | 08:45 |
| koodough | so0o that means you don't use scp but instead you use rsync | 08:45 |
| juk | casts: ah, my bios is uncooperative with ubuntu i did enabled this as well as write protection, but check-bios-nx keeps warning me that cpu lacking feature | 08:46 |
| koodough | mehdi: its easy as scp… in some ways send me your scp command | 08:46 |
| casts | juk: what is your CPU? | 08:46 |
| mehdi | @koodough let me tell u at first | 08:47 |

| mehdi | @koodough i dl sth through scp and i got disconnected and i dont want to dl frm start | 08:48 |
| mehdi | @koodough but how does scp do that ? it dl from start | 08:48 |
| Ph03b3 | Well, Goodbye! | 08:48 |
| casts | juk: right, so an old P4. no KVM for you, either upgrade or switch virtualization technologies | 08:48 |
| koodough | mehdi: well I'm not sure scp can resume, but rsync can | 08:48 |
| juk | casts: :| | 08:49 |
| koodough | mehdi: so if your trying to resume something now! umm I'm not sure | 08:49 |
| mehdi | @koodough well how can i use rsync ? | 08:49 |
| juk | casts: qemu still works though ;) | 08:49 |
| koodough | mehdi: ok send me and example of your scp command | 08:49 |
| sacarlson | koodough: ya I just looked at that youtube that looks almost perfect other than not haveing setup propriatary drivers but it's a good start | 08:50 |
| Fjodor | koodough: mehdi: lftp to an sftp:// (same as scp uses) url can also resume... | 08:50 |

| austinium | is it possible that the user might have changed username:group from username:username to username:somethingelse ?? | 08:53 |
| [[thor]] | Fjodor: most functionality has been returned but i get a wierd error in apt-get after using dpgk to install all the removed debs | 08:53 |

| casts | gtalk | 09:00 |

| Fjodor | gartral: Well, try googling the error, then? | 09:00 |
| triplebaby | ok gartral | 09:00 |
| Kaleidomorph | Doesn't loading Linux onto a cr-48 defeat the whole purpose of having it shipped to you to test the ChromeOS? | 09:02 |
| Fjodor | [[thor]]: try sudo touch /usr/bin/update-menus and try again? | 09:02 |
| dr_Willis_ | You cant even buy a CR-48 yet can you? | 09:02 |
| [[thor]] | Fjodor: that guide is basically doing everything i did but with --reinstall instead of install | 09:02 |
| [[thor]] | kk | 09:02 |
| Kaleidomorph | They only ship them out for testing purposes at the moment. | 09:03 |
| Fjodor | [[thor]]: Which is the way to go, because apt still thinks the packages are installed and hence won't reinstall packages with no newer versions yet | 09:03 |

| Fjodor | ubuntu: In which case you just ask the question and see if anyone can answer. For my own part, I need to finish with [[thor]] in order to get to uni, but good luck :-) | 09:06 |
| Fjodor | ubuntu: And welcome to the channel :-) | 09:06 |
| [[thor]] | Fjodor: don't worry too much about me :D worst case scenario is i have to dl/burn a new 10.10 .iso and reinstall from scratch.. /home/ is safe :D | 09:07 |
| Fjodor | [[thor]]: Good to hear, but I hate to leave things unresolved. Did you try the touch thing and retrying? | 09:08 |
| [[thor]] | i did the touch.. but i am actually waiting for the steps from that page to finish ( packages like alien-arena are making this take a while ) | 09:09 |
| Fjodor | [[thor]]: Oki, but that means, at least, that it got further? | 09:10 |
| [[thor]] | i might have to do it all again | 09:10 |
| Fjodor | [[thor]]: Well, do consider doing it with --reinstall, but does it mean that it got further? | 09:10 |
| [[thor]] | Fjodor: each apt-get install sequence that pops up for the packages in the list give the same error | 09:10 |
| abhinav_singh | what is the difference between date "+%W" and date "+%V" ...both are giving me same answer | 09:11 |
| [[thor]] | Fjodor: it keeps going on to the next one, however.. and i hope that once this alien-arena finishes downloading and starts its own installation, the touch will have an effect | 09:11 |

| llutz_ | abhinav_singh: man date | 09:14 |
| Fjodor | [[thor]]: Hehe, good call :-) | 09:14 |
| [[thor]] | Fjodor: reading the 'man touch'... am i to assume that when i touched the non-existant folder/file it was created? | 09:17 |
| Fjodor | [[thor]]: Indeed. It creates and empty file if the target is non-existant and updates the timestamp if it's already there | 09:18 |
| [[thor]] | Fjodor: i have to cause massive carnage on my system more often; i am learning so many new things | 09:19 |

| llutz_ | mehdi:if that was your real question, yes you are wrong here | 09:25 |
| mondi | not exactly wait but a window saying starting computer and then it closes | 09:26 |
| Fjodor | [[thor]]: That's probably a good idea, then ;-) | 09:26 |
| bazhang | mondi, you want to browse a share? use nautilus? | 09:26 |

| Fjodor | gartral: As for the warnings, I don't see how changing owner to the user owning the user home dir could be a bad idea, except, of course, if it follows symlinks, which there must be a flag to prevent. Hadn't thought of that, though, so I'm sorry for that | 09:29 |
| llutz_ | grrr, no pump in ubuntu... | 09:29 |
| llutz_ | mehdi: apt-cache search bootp should give you some related stuff | 09:29 |

| Fjodor | mondi: When you want to ask something, just do so, prefereably on one line, and see if anyone responds. As I said, I have no idea, and possibly no one has right now, but try asking at half-hourly intervals or something. At least that's what I do, but if someone responds here that that's wrong, take their advice ;-) | 09:44 |
| fairuz | type uname -r in your shell | 09:44 |

| gudmund | Im using an netbook with Xubuntu, and wonder who uses less resources of gnome-do or synapse... | 09:50 |
| [[thor]] | gudmund: you can test with 'top' | 09:51 |
| Amithiel | morning guys. noob question, lets suppose i mark "maverick backports" and "pre release updates" on synaptic. then i install everything. And since my system is goog and stable, can i uncheck them again? the idea is staying this way and not taking the risk of getting a messy update. or will i be forced to "downgrade" the changes? sorry if my english is not very understanding | 09:52 |
| stuart | i can get a proper grub menu with kernels listed using supergrub2disk, but I would like a solution that doesn't require a boot disk...suggestions? | 09:53 |
| Fjodor | Amithiel: You shouldn't be forced to downgrade as far as I know, but you might miss important updates... | 09:53 |
| dashka | hi how to extract DMG file | 09:54 |
| gudmund | thor: how do i check with top? | 09:54 |
| Fjodor | dashka: dmg files are for OSX, right? | 09:54 |
| dashka | yes | 09:55 |
| dashka | i need to extract software for linux | 09:55 |
| Fjodor | dashka: Well, software in a dmg file would normally not run under Linux... | 09:55 |
| Amithiel | Fjodor, i see. you know, lets suppos i have the version 1.5 unstable of a program. and its working good, then they pre-release the version 1.6 and tis bugged now. but then the version 1.7 becomne oficial and hits the main updates. by having those 2 checks unmarked, i'm gonna get only the official one, right? | 09:55 |
| [[thor]] | gudmund: run top and then invoke gnome-do :D | 09:56 |
| Fjodor | Amithiel: As a general rule, new version steps like that are deferred to distribution upgrades, except for in the backports repo... | 09:57 |
| Amithiel | ohsix, ok. then i guess i'll check both pre-release and backports =D | 09:57 |
| Amithiel | thanks for the info | 09:57 |
| gudmund | [[thor]], that dont give me anything :P haha I'll try to google | 09:58 |

| ElectricPrism | Hey Everyone, I"m graphic card shopping on NewEgg, and I'm wondering if ATI or NVidia is more compatible with Ubuntu & Other Distros | 10:42 |
| edwardteach | ElectricPrism, nvidia would be my choice for ubuntu! | 10:44 |
| edwardteach | !hardware | 10:44 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 10:44 |
| ElectricPrism | edwardteach: got any reccomendations for a card between 100-200$ Nvidia? I'm guessing the 460s are a good make | 10:44 |
| waperboy | <*)))>{ | 10:45 |
| thomas___ | I have a Lenovo T410 running Ubuntu 10.10 in a docking station and would like to connect two Dell U2410 monitors, the graphic card is a nvidia NVS 4100M for which I have the latest drivers from nvidia installed. Unfortunately it does not work to connect two monitors, the systems crashes when loading X... Does anyone have the same problem with nvidia binary drivers? | 10:47 |
| edwardteach | ElectricPrism, i think any card with good opengl support is going to be a good card.. | 10:47 |
| OchoZero9 | I'm on kubuntu, I don't know if it matters, but I'm having troubles with my bluetooth keyboard | 10:48 |
| deteego | would someone be able to send me the default list of locales | 10:48 |
| deteego | that ubuntu uses? | 10:48 |
| jatt | depends on the installation | 10:49 |
| nash_ | hey hi jackhello | 10:49 |
| OchoZero9 | it stops responding within 3-10 minutes of idle | 10:49 |
| jatt | en_US.utf8 should do tho | 10:49 |
| OchoZero9 | sometimes one key will wake it up, sometimes various taps | 10:49 |
| ElectricPrism | edwardteach: Cool, I think Im sold on the EVGA 460 with OpenGL 4 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130591 | 10:49 |
| ElectricPrism | thanks man | 10:49 |
| deteego | jatt: I remember ubuntu's default locale list having a lot more then just en_US.utf8 | 10:50 |
| jatt | right, but why do you need more? | 10:50 |
| ghoulsblade | hi all, how can i find out what package a file belongs to ? want to install smbmount, but the package name seems to be different | 10:54 |
| Fjodor | ghoulsblade: apt-file is your friend | 10:55 |
| erUSUL | ghoulsblade: dpkg -S /path/to/file | 10:55 |
| Fjodor | ghoulsblade: sudo aptitude install apt-file | 10:55 |
| Fjodor | ghoulsblade: erUSUL's idea might be better - didn't know it | 10:55 |
| Fjodor | [[thor]]: How are we coming along? | 10:56 |
| TheSarge | I need an Op. | 10:56 |
| ghoulsblade | aptitude install didn't work as the package name is different, apt-file : no matching command, but dpkg -S smbmount worked, thanks =) package name is smbfs | 10:57 |
| TheSarge | wtf | 10:57 |
| ghoulsblade | sorry, was at talk before you joined | 10:58 |
| ghoulsblade | i'd suggest asking your question rather than asking for a person here, only opped is the bot. probably best to see topic for official contact | 10:59 |
| llutz_ | dokg -S only works on already installed packages | 10:59 |
| llutz_ | dpkg* | 10:59 |
| Fjodor | llutz_: Are you sure? | 11:00 |
| ghoulsblade | hmm, luckily i had it installed on one pc already, only needed the package name for a different pc. is there a command to search not-installed packages as well ? | 11:00 |
| Fjodor | llutz_, ghoulsblade: Yes, apt-file. 2 sec | 11:00 |
| llutz_ | Fjodor: i am, apt-file search to search ALL available packages, even not installed ones | 11:01 |
| erUSUL | ghoulsblade: you can ask ubottu here ;P | 11:01 |
| llutz_ | Fjodor: man dpkg | 11:01 |
| ghoulsblade | ah ok, it's just not installed by default like apt-get, apt-cache etc ^^ | 11:01 |
| erUSUL | !find stdio.h | 11:01 |
| ubottu | File stdio.h found in avr-libc, clanlib-doc, codeblocks-dev, dietlibc-dev, elks-libc, fp-docs, frama-c-base, gcc-mingw32, gcc-snapshot, gnulib (and 53 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=stdio.h&mode=&suite=maverick&arch=any | 11:02 |
| Fjodor | llutz_: I just wondered since it worked for ghoulsblade, but then again, that was indeed becaise it was installed | 11:02 |
| ghoulsblade | !find smbmount | 11:02 |
| ubottu | File smbmount found in manpages-zh, smbfs | 11:02 |
| tsimpson | erUSUL: C headers are in libc6-dev | 11:02 |
| ghoulsblade | nifty, me likes | 11:02 |
| juk | !find ibus.h | 11:02 |
| ubottu | Found: ibus-hangul | 11:02 |
| erUSUL | tsimpson: it was for a demostration; but thnaks anyway :) | 11:02 |
| Fjodor | ghoulsblade: sudo aptitude install apt-file | 11:02 |
| tsimpson | erUSUL: sorry, not really paying much attention | 11:03 |
| erUSUL | tsimpson: nothing to be sorry about | 11:03 |

| Fjodor | zombie_: What we are trying to do here is to download the package that apt-daemon complained about not being able to find the file for... | 11:28 |
| zombie_ | Well, I was trying to install a few things and I kept getting this error that I posted before but it seems to be doing something | 11:28 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: Then we try again to install it and then we see about any other files, since you said that you couldn't install anything, which strikes me as odd | 11:28 |

| poopop | i would like to know that how to grep new line using grep command ,for example i have file name test.txt which has two line containing List: <data> and List: <data> | 11:32 |
| Fjodor | bill_: Well, there may be a number of reasons, but first of all, paste the output of lshw to pastebin and give me the link | 11:33 |
| bill_ | Fjodor, what? do what sorry im have no idea how to do taht | 11:34 |
| Fjodor | bill_: I'll have ubottu give you a link to a service where one may post text, and which gives you a link in return where people may see that text. What I want you to do is open a terminal window, enter the command "lshw" without the quotes and copy/paste the output into the service at said link | 11:36 |

| Fjodor | bill_: Ok, from what you pasted, it seems that your computer doesn't know that it has a wireless card. Is there a switch or and Fn-<somekey> combination for turning wireless on and off? | 11:40 |
| EDocToor | Hi everyone... I have a Duel Booting PC and after I upgraded Ubuntu two months ago... the Ubuntu crashes ( I get to the desktop, but no icons) is there a edit to the start up boot string that will start Ubuntu in standard video? | 11:42 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: Reading | 11:42 |
| zombie_ | thank you | 11:42 |
| sacarlson | bill_: Fjodor: seems he does have a wireless device usb0 | 11:44 |
| sacarlson | bill_: or is that just a ethernet device? | 11:44 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: I'm not sure if I can help with this one, but getting "booted to the login screen" usually means that X has crashed (X being the thing responsible for graphics). For future help requests from other more knowledgable, you should be prepared to paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and tell them which graphics card you have | 11:44 |
| Fjodor | sacarlson, bill_: I think that's the tethered mobile, since it says that it's RNDIS | 11:45 |
| Jayro | hi, everytime i turn on my netbook i have to unlock the keyring to use the internet. Is there a way to do this automaticly? also: how can i have bluetooth off by default? | 11:45 |

| zombie_ | I have something here that'll tell me what hardware I have hold on | 11:46 |
| Jayro | anyone? | 11:46 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: That would just be cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old in a graphical session following immediately after having been booted to the login screen | 11:46 |
| sacarlson | bill_: ok so maybe it's an rfkill thing, see if that detects the hardware switch positions and software enable/disable settings | 11:47 |
| deeeed | hi | 11:47 |
| juk | !upstart | Jayro | 11:47 |
| ubottu | Jayro: 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/ | 11:47 |
| juk | Jayro: iirc nm has remember password | 11:47 |
| Fjodor | sacarlson: That was my thought as well. If you want to take over, I would be grateful :-) | 11:47 |
| deeeed | I am trying to setup a pptpd server. the server is a unique machine without local network. Only one interface eth0 with remote ip. How should I create a new ethernet interface to simulate a locale network ? | 11:48 |
| deeeed | I can probably use ethtool | 11:48 |
| poopop | edwardteach: but it won't match new line, | 11:49 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: I don't know if pastebin allows for uploading text files as well, which would be easier for you in this case... | 11:49 |
| zombie_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/573419/ | 11:49 |
| poopop | edwardteach: let say List: data \n data .grep will only print List:data | 11:49 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: The previous was in order to show the xorg.0.lob.old file | 11:50 |
| Fjodor | *log.old | 11:50 |

| bill_ | Fjodor, http://paste.ubuntu.com/573416/ here i toggled the fn f2 key and ran that code again and heres what i got | 11:52 |
| sacarlson | bill_: try http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/rfkill.1.html rfkill to see if your hardware switch is enabled and your software switch is enabled | 11:52 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: Are you sure this is .log.old and not just .log? | 11:52 |
| zombie_ | let me check again | 11:53 |
| zombie_ | You're correct the old won't open | 11:53 |
| edwardteach | poopop, grep displays all lines that it match's so lines with "data" in them will be displayed | 11:54 |
| Fjodor | bill_: I'm handing you over to sacarlson - he seems to have a better grasp of this issue. I assume this i ok with you both? | 11:54 |
| zombie_ | got to open | 11:54 |
| zombie_ | 1 sec | 11:54 |
| bill_ | yeh im just not sure waht to do with this page | 11:55 |
| zombie_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/573423/ | 11:55 |
| bill_ | sacarlson, ok so im at the page what do i do from here | 11:55 |
| Fjodor | bill_: Well, it describes a command to be run in a terminal window | 11:55 |
| sacarlson | bill_: I think it might to be installed | 11:55 |
| EDocToor | I guess I am stuck with windows... crap | 11:55 |
| poopop | edwardteach: yes , but if newline char will come, it will stop processing , for ex List: 1 2 3 4 \n 5 6 7 8 , if i use grep $grep List: , it will display List:1 2 3 4 not the 5 6 7 8 | 11:56 |

| javahorn | Hi | 11:56 |
| sacarlson | bill_: sudo apt-get install wireless-tools | 11:56 |
| javahorn | how to increase illumination | 11:56 |
| kapcom01 | hello, does google says the statistics of user agents that searches on google's search engine? i would like to see what position ubuntu has. | 11:56 |
| javahorn | as i face quite low illumination after 10.10 | 11:56 |
| Fjodor | bill_: The above would be a command to run in a terminal window as well ;-) | 11:56 |
| javahorn | though it was ok last nite, installed last nite only! | 11:56 |
| bill_ | sacarlson, ok i ran that it said i had it | 11:57 |
| sacarlson | bill_: ok then try rfkill list | 11:58 |
| bill_ | sacarlson, so i also have rfkill also now | 11:58 |
| zombie_ | Was that the correct log? | 11:58 |
| javahorn | :( :( | 11:58 |
| edwardteach | poopop, ok .. sounds like you need a new delimiter no the "\n" flag | 11:58 |
| sacarlson | bill_: you should see Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no; if you see yes then you will have to enable your device | 11:59 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: Probably, but could you try to trigger the problem - i.e. make it boot you to the login prompt - login in again and post the file again? I think that last time you were logged in, you logged out or shut down normally and therefore there is no error in the file... | 12:00 |
| bill_ | sacarslon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/573426/ thats what i got | 12:00 |
| zombie_ | Okay so load the software and have it crash this repost? | 12:00 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: Load, have it crash, log in again and post the .log.old file | 12:01 |
| poopop | edwardteach: Yes bcz file has something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/573427/ | 12:01 |
| aditya_nam | Which file is responsible for maintaing info about network proxy ? in ubuntu 10.10 | 12:01 |
| zombie_ | will be back in a flash | 12:01 |
| poopop | edwardteach: so grep List: won't work properly | 12:01 |
| edwardteach | poopop, use awk! | 12:01 |
| poopop | edwardteach: ok | 12:02 |
| Fjodor | bill_: Try rfkill list first, as sacarlson asked | 12:02 |
| bill_ | fjodor, woops didnt see that | 12:02 |
| Fjodor | bill_: That would be "rfkill list" without the quotes | 12:02 |
| bill_ | rfkill list didnt do anything | 12:03 |
| Fjodor | bill_: No output at all? | 12:03 |
| edwardteach | poopop, file.txt | awk -F \[ '{print $1}' | 12:03 |
| zombie_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/573428/ | 12:03 |
| bill_ | bill@Billscomputer:~$ rfkill list | 12:04 |
| bill_ | bill@Billscomputer:~$ | 12:04 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: And you are sure, again, that this is .log.old? | 12:04 |
| sacarlson | bill_: ok it's not seen then, maybe you can try boot into bios and see if it's enabled there, if nothing is seen in bios then I'm out of ideas other than try reboot a few times and verify it won't reapear | 12:04 |
| zombie_ | yup | 12:04 |
| zombie_ | Xorg.0.log.old | 12:04 |
| AbhijiT | bill_, run only rfkill | 12:05 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: That's very weird, because normally, it would give a backtrace of the errors that lead it to crash, but I don't even see a shutdown notice... | 12:05 |
| AbhijiT | bill_, sorry i dont nkow wrong info | 12:05 |
| bill_ | sacarlson, bios was the first place i checked it now it did give me the option to use either a app to toggle it or the fn f2 key | 12:05 |
| kapcom01 | what is the most accurate method to count the internet user's operating system share? | 12:05 |
| zombie_ | It went to log of like a switch user type thing then it forces me to log back it | 12:06 |
| bill_ | ill be back in a sec off to bios i go | 12:06 |
| pinoyoragon | what programs should i install so i can download files to my server from remote (using ssh) even if my ssh connection is disconnected | 12:06 |
| zombie_ | Being the computer never shut down it just logged off | 12:07 |
| iceroot | pinoyoragon: screen + wget | 12:07 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: Ah, that's no good. I meant for you to trigger the actuall unwanted behaviour that forces you out to the login prompt when it shouldn't ;-) | 12:07 |
| pinoyoragon | iceroot what is screen? | 12:07 |
| iceroot | pinoyoragon: the most important linux-tool (together with ssh) | 12:07 |
| zombie_ | We'll whenever I load. Wine its takes me back to the login screen forcing me to login back hence software not working. | 12:08 |
| iceroot | pinoyoragon: its opening a terminal and it will stay open in a screen-session. doesnt matter if the ssh-connection dies | 12:08 |
| zombie_ | Being thats what I just did | 12:08 |
| pinoyoragon | iceroot: oic ok i'll rtfm then.... thank you | 12:08 |
| iceroot | !screen | pinoyoragon | 12:08 |
| ubottu | pinoyoragon: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 12:08 |
| zombie_ | I just don't understand it | 12:09 |
| zombie_ | If I had a cam and recorded it would show me clicking on wine then the computer logging its self off | 12:09 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: Ok, that's weird, then. What I thought was happening was that wine somehow crashed X, hence requiring you to log in again and above you said that you went to a switch user-thing. Those are two very different things... | 12:10 |
| phoenixsampras | HELP!! how to enable my secondary monitor?? it wont do it | 12:10 |
| AbhijiT | !dualhead | phoenixsampras | 12:10 |
| ubottu | phoenixsampras: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 12:11 |
| phoenixsampras | Saving X configuration says: "no permissions" | 12:11 |
| blz | will changing my user's UID break anything? | 12:11 |
| aditya_nam | Which file is responsible for maintaing info about network proxy ? in ubuntu 10.10 | 12:11 |
| zombie_ | We'll I might of said that out of text, I was referring to a feeling like when you use windows and you switch users but switching users keeps software running so that was dumb to say its a full log off | 12:11 |
| phoenixsampras | AbhijiT: | 12:11 |
| AbhijiT | ?? | 12:11 |
| phoenixsampras | AbhijiT: worked!! thanks | 12:11 |
| AbhijiT | O_o | 12:12 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: Thing is, when X loads, it starts writing to /var/log/Xorg.0.log. When it has exited, either by crash, new login or reboot, it saves the old log file to /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old and starts on a new log file... | 12:12 |
| AbhijiT | phoenixsampras, welcome! | 12:12 |
| phoenixsampras | AbhijiT: now how to save the xorg.conf ??? the manager says no permission | 12:12 |
| zombie_ | I could try again? | 12:12 |
| AbhijiT | :-o | 12:12 |
| blz | will changing my user's UID break anything? (not sure if the first message went through) | 12:12 |
| phoenixsampras | AbhijiT: everytime i reboot i need to detect monitors manually?? | 12:12 |
| slide | While going in to update im getting told to do a "Partial Upgrade" or "Distribution Upgrade" whats that about? | 12:12 |
| AbhijiT | phoenixsampras, i dont know! | 12:12 |
| phoenixsampras | HELP!!! how to write xorg.conf from nvidia xserver settings, says no permissions!!! | 12:13 |
| rumpe1 | blz, well... you also have to update the permissions for the files owned by the old user-uid | 12:13 |
| blz | phoenixsampras: sudo | 12:13 |
| pinoyoragon | !wget | 12:13 |
| zombie_ | I'll try the mame gui and see how it shows up in the log | 12:13 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: Hence, after having had it crash and logging back in, the .log.old file should show some info about its shutdown, here in the form of a crash log, but it doesn't even say that it has exited at all... | 12:13 |
| zombie_ | brb | 12:13 |
| blz | rumpel: i assume only the files in /home/user should be concerned, right? | 12:13 |
| phoenixsampras | blz how to sudo that application? | 12:13 |
| rumpe1 | blz, usually yes | 12:13 |
| red2kic | phoenixsampras: "gksudo nvidia-settings" | 12:14 |
| aditya_nam | phoenixsampras: I thinnk you need to edit with root permission. Try sudo | 12:14 |
| red2kic | pinoyoragon: "man wget" or "wget --help" in the terminal. | 12:14 |
| blz | phoenixsampras: find the command of the application (google) and then execute it with sudo in the terminal | 12:14 |
| aditya_nam | Which file is responsible for maintaing info about network proxy ? in ubuntu 10.10 | 12:14 |
| AbhijiT | !proxy | 12:14 |
| ubottu | Several Ubuntu channels prohibit access from open proxies and other anonymous connections due to a high level of abuse. The supported ways to hide your IP address on freenode are to use !Tor or get a !cloak | 12:14 |
| phoenixsampras | Thanks red2kic!! You are REALLY WISE! | 12:14 |
| AbhijiT | :-/ | 12:14 |
| Fjodor | blz: Except here, it's a graphical app, so gksudo is preferred... | 12:15 |
| blz | phoenixsampras: red2kic is right, gksudo is probably cleaner. google is your friend, for that kind of thing | 12:15 |
| red2kic | You're welcome, phoenixsampras!! You are REALLY LAZY! :) | 12:15 |
| blz | Fjodor: yeah but sudo doesn't really hurt either... | 12:15 |
| pinoyoragon | red2kic: i wonder if wget can fork then accelerate download | 12:15 |
| AbhijiT | red2kic, :-D | 12:15 |
| rumpe1 | blz, you can check with "sudo find / -user <username or ID>" | 12:15 |
| phoenixsampras | red2kic: you make ubuntu USABLE!! you ROCK | 12:15 |
| red2kic | pinoyoragon: aria2 | 12:15 |
| blz | rumpel: ok thanks! | 12:15 |
| Fjodor | blz: Does for at least some X-based apps, so instead of having sudo fail and then recommending gksudo, you might as well go with gksudo in the first run ;-) | 12:15 |
| aditya_nam | phoenixsampras: tye : sudo your_command | 12:16 |
| red2kic | pinoyoragon: You want that. I believe. | 12:16 |
| blz | Fjodor: hence i said red2kic was right. | 12:16 |
| phoenixsampras | aditya_nam: i knew how to sudo | 12:16 |
| pinoyoragon | red2kic: thanks | 12:16 |
| pinoyoragon | !aria2 | 12:16 |
| phoenixsampras | aditya_nam: but i didnt know how to sudo on gtk | 12:16 |
| red2kic | !info aria2 | pinoyoragon | 12:16 |

| Fjodor | blz: Which I overlooked. My reply was to your first suggestion. My apologies :-$ | 12:16 |

| Fjodor | blz: :-) | 12:17 |
| aditya_nam | Which file is responsible for maintaing info about network proxy in ubuntu 10.10 ??? | 12:17 |
| phoenixsampras | I've Suspended the computer, it never came up again, WHY?? | 12:17 |
| blz | red2kic: is there a way to do a chown on the output of that find command? | 12:18 |
| === skidawg is now known as SkiDawg | ||
| rumpe1 | blz, -exec chown user {} \; | 12:18 |
| red2kic | blz: Sure. 'find' got -exec option. | 12:18 |
| blz | ok cool | 12:18 |
| rumpe1 | blz, but better test it before with -exec echo chown user ... | 12:18 |
| Fjodor | aditya_nam: Not sure as I don't use proxies, but I guess it's something to do with NetworkManager, which is somewhat of a black art with regards to config files, but can be configured graphically via the nm-applet | 12:18 |
| blz | ok i'll be sure to do that, thanks | 12:19 |
| phoenixsampras | help?? | 12:19 |
| red2kic | | xargs "command" are another choice. Endless choices in linux. :) | 12:19 |
| Fjodor | phoenixsampras: Suspend is notoriously easy to break under Linux, since most motherboard manufacturers make broken BIOSs :-( | 12:20 |
| Fjodor | phoenixsampras: And they usually only test them with (some versions of) windows... | 12:21 |
| blz | and now for a potentially stupid question... i assume a user can only have one UID? | 12:21 |
| rumpe1 | blz, yes | 12:21 |
| sporedi | to check ( to check which application is using what ) active internet process on windows we run netstat -ab in linux what will be command which will tell me which application is using internet and thier local path on linux machine | 12:21 |
| blz | rumpel: if i want to associate users, i use groups, correct? | 12:21 |
| rumpe1 | blz, yes | 12:21 |
| blz | ok thanks! | 12:21 |
| Fjodor | blz: Correct, but some fs'es have support for other forms of ACL, but yes, groups are the way to go | 12:21 |
| phoenixsampras | Fjodor: yea it sucks, if Ubuntu could make it work hibernation , would be the perfect OS | 12:21 |
| Fjodor | phoenixsampras: It works, but only for some machines. Trouble is that the broken BIOSes aren't documented, so it's Really Hard(tm) to fix... | 12:22 |
| twitch | lol tm | 12:23 |
| phoenixsampras | Fjodor: so basically i need to forget about mobility on Ubuntu | 12:23 |
| Fjodor | twitch: ;-) | 12:23 |

| zombie_ | hope that showed up | 12:24 |
| twitch | u guys talking acpi stuff? | 12:24 |
| Fjodor | phoenixsampras: Well, you could have a look at http://www.coreboot.org/Welcome_to_coreboot if you are feeling adventurous and see if they have a bios that supports your motherboard, but it's early work in progress for most... | 12:25 |
| Fjodor | twitch: By extension, yes | 12:25 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: It didn't, which is very strange. Perhaps you should have a talk with the guys in #xorg and/or #wine... | 12:26 |
| twitch | zombie_: explain? | 12:26 |
| zombie_ | I dunno why its not working? | 12:26 |
| zombie_ | Do you know how to install sdlmame or xmame? | 12:27 |
| saini | hi | 12:27 |
| twitch | what the mouse or keyboard? | 12:27 |
| saini | x11/xlib not found | 12:27 |
| zombie_ | I can live without wine but I really wanted mame | 12:27 |
| twitch | zombie_: oh ok | 12:27 |
| Fjodor | twitch: That's from a discussion with me, but if you have any idea why his running wine get's him back to the login prompt, normally signifying an X crash, be my guest to join ;-) | 12:27 |
| zombie_ | Well the only reason I wanted wine is to install a windows mame | 12:27 |
| Fjodor | twitch: To complicate matters, Xorg.0.log.old doesn't show a crash... | 12:28 |
| saini | x11/xlib not found problem | 12:28 |
| zombie_ | Anybody know a good mame for linux ubuntu 10.10 | 12:29 |

| wukui | hello, everyone | 12:29 |
| saini | hello | 12:29 |
| saini | x11/xlib priblem | 12:30 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: One last hope, which is at your own risk, would be to try out the newest X possible... | 12:30 |
| twitch | zombie_: what back to gdm or tty? | 12:30 |
| Fjodor | saini: What are you trying to do? | 12:30 |
| zombie_ | You say the word and I'll do it | 12:30 |
| Fjodor | twitch: gdm, as far as I gather | 12:30 |
| zombie_ | Whats gdm? | 12:31 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: gdm is the graphical login manager | 12:31 |
| saini | X11/Xlib not found problem | 12:31 |
| zombie_ | Okay lets try it | 12:31 |
| zombie_ | how would I go about doing it? | 12:31 |
| Fjodor | saini: sudo apt-get install libx11-dev | 12:31 |
| twitch | so xwindows/gnome not xorg .. perhaps .. hard his logs dont show anything | 12:32 |
| Fjodor | zombie_: sudo apt-add ppa:xorg-edgers && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:32 |

| aaron11 | Ooops! | 12:45 |
| Logan_WP | !identify | aaron11 | 12:45 |
| ubottu | aaron11: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, or a typo may give away your password. If that happened, type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 12:45 |
| aaron11 | Thanks | 12:45 |
| Logan_WP | aaron11: the same thing happened to me yesterday - just follow those instructions to change your password :) | 12:45 |

| takamarou | Hi all. I've got a ubuntu 10.10 server at work, as well as a ubuntu 10.04 desktop. I did an nmap of the server from the desktop, and it seemed to be hanging so i did Cntrl+C. Now my desktop has no internet connection even after rebooting, restarting init.d/networking, and changing wireless networks. Anyone got some help? | 13:40 |
| jrib | fredrik_: no sudo for apt-cache search | 13:40 |
| fredrik_ | jrib, correct, my bad | 13:40 |
| fredrik_ | just came home from work and im dead tired | 13:41 |
| DeviantAI | The very beginning. It's talking about compiling and directories. And I haven't gotten that far into the learning process yet. | 13:41 |
| ontherun | hey there, how do i install files I download | 13:41 |
| Fjodor | saini: I ask because we seem to be speaking past each other, so I think that you don't normally speak English. Therefore, a channel with your normal language would probably be better for you | 13:41 |
| [TK]D-Fender | player: Everything is just FILES. What is comlpicated about copyying them? | 13:41 |

| gartral | how do I add/change keyboard layouts in ubuntu 10.10.. there used too be a panel plugin for that i don't see it any more. also, does Ubuntu track just who installed what? and how do i figure that bit out? | 13:42 |
| pckiller | hello | 13:43 |
| jrib | gartral: system -> preferences -> keyboard would be one way | 13:43 |
| jrib | !who | DeviantAI | 13:44 |
| ubottu | DeviantAI: 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 :) | 13:44 |
| pckiller | I HAVE A PROBLEM IN Xubuntu 9.10, I cant make a usb transfert! | 13:44 |
| Fjodor | gartral: As for who installed what, I think you could check /var/log/auth or something, but on a personal system, only one user should be permitted to sudo normally | 13:44 |
| gartral | jrib: I want an "on the fly" keychanger. I want too try experimenting with dvorak layout.. | 13:44 |
| jrib | DeviantAI: what are you trying to install exactly? | 13:44 |
| pckiller | and Im frenc;h | 13:44 |
| skp | Hello !!! | 13:45 |
| jrib | gartral: well I'd suggest just setting up a key combination (in the aforementioned preferences dialogue) like shift+shift to swap keyboard layouts | 13:45 |
| saini | install latex | 13:45 |
| Dr_Willis | saini: once again.. use teh package manager/software center.... | 13:46 |
| jrib | gartral: and be prepared for extreme frustration for 2 weeks :) | 13:46 |
| DeviantAI | jirb: pidgin cmds and pidgin extra preferences. Both linked from the pidgin page itself | 13:46 |
| Fjodor | pckiller: pckiller about to leave, but if you refer to my other question to saini, that's because we seem to talk past each other, and hence I would recommend the French Ubuntu channel. I'll get ubottu to reference it to you, but one normally does so when people speak in non-English, so forgive me if I'm being rude by doing so... | 13:46 |
| Fjodor | !fr | pckiller | 13:46 |
| gartral | Fjodor: obviously! but I have a CR-48 and there's two way too get Ubuntu running on one... first is the kinda hard, long way.. a script.. that requires a little technical knowledge too run, and the loooooong realllly hard way.. which require another, high end computer and the CR-48 computer.. and a crapload of technical and hacking know-how. | 13:46 |
| ubottu | pckiller: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 13:46 |

| insanity99 | oh so i should reinstall it | 13:50 |
| gartral | researcher1: that depends on the modle printer | 13:50 |
| jrib | DeviantAI: read those links and the documentation (like the README) for your plugins | 13:50 |
| Dr_Willis | cse28: thats not very clear.. if you need to do 'sudo command' then thats how you do it.. most commands wont 'ask' to gain sudo rights.. | 13:50 |
| Dr_Willis | insanity99: tahts the safest way | 13:50 |
| Dr_Willis | insanity99: it depends on the game also. | 13:50 |

| insanity99 | ok thanks | 13:52 |
| takamarou | jrib, it's happened before. I've even tested it on random external servers and I get the same thing. It's odd that even after a restart it doesn't work. | 13:52 |
| jrib | takamarou: does ethernet work ok? If it's possible for you to test that | 13:52 |
| ontherun | I'm not sure I have installing things worked out, i launched TrueCrypt Setup | 13:53 |
| takamarou | jrib, I'll test... I've had ethernet trouble in the past before, though. | 13:54 |
| ontherun | and it says installing package | 13:54 |
| ontherun | but it never finishes | 13:54 |
| ontherun | am i doing it wrong? | 13:54 |
| jrib | ontherun: well why don't you just use the encryption that ubuntu sets up automatically? | 13:54 |
| randomusername | Hi, sorry to add to the list of questions, but does anyone know how to get DRI (direct rendering infrastructure) installed? I couldn't find it in synaptic package manager.. thanks in advance | 13:54 |
| ontherun | because I want to use truecrypt | 13:55 |
| takamarou | jrib, no it doesn't look like ethernet is working - it doesn't even allow me an ethernet connection right now. I am, however, connected to my internal wireless network... just no outbound traffic. I can even get DNS from our internal DNS server, so I know it's just my internet that is dead | 13:55 |

| erUSUL | ontherun: is truecrypt more hardcore that luks? or ecryptfs? i do not think so | 13:56 |
| jrib | takamarou: hmm, is it just a dns issue? Can you access outside the network using an ip? | 13:56 |
| cse28 | Dr_Willis: some commands asks sudo rights. i want to execute those commands with out sudo rights | 13:56 |
| gartral | takamarou: then how are you here? 0.o | 13:57 |
| takamarou | jrib, no luck. pinging google's IP comes up blank. | 13:57 |

| randomusername | erUSUL: Thats what i got from googling around, so thank you for confirming :) but when i type glxinfo | grep rendering in terminal it says its not installed.. - could it be because nvidia havent made the DRI drivers open source or something? :s | 13:57 |
| gartral | takamarou: are you a collage, or corporate internal network? | 13:58 |

| IdleOne | alz: don't ask to ask, just ask. :) | 15:09 |
| alz | IdleOne : I want that thing like in OsX : to move my mouse to the bottom left corner and to go to the desktop | 15:10 |
| Aristide | This computer is a eepc | 15:10 |
| alz | IdleOne : is it possible with Compiz? | 15:10 |
| oliver_ | alz: i guess it is | 15:10 |
| armitage_ | mini | 15:11 |
| IdleOne | alz: it is. I don't use compiz. you can try asking in #compiz they would know better | 15:11 |
| alz | Ok IdleOne, then I may ask oliver_ : do you happen to know how to do that? | 15:11 |
| terry | Aristide: That image shows the bar at the bottom | 15:12 |
| === armitage is now known as mini | ||
| Gulfstream | which filesystem is the best for a speedy system? | 15:12 |
| barf | Hmmm, the system now has eth0, eth1, eth2 and eth4, what happened to 3? | 15:12 |
| terry | Aristide: That image shows bar at bottom. Is that yours? | 15:12 |
| kyentei | Gulfstream: Just use EXT4 ^_^ | 15:12 |
| Aristide | terry, I want to switch from http://static.pcinpact.com/images/bd/news/mini-87214-kde-4-5-plasma.jpg to http://high-tech.portail.free.fr/informatique/28-06-2010/kde-45-la-premiere-release-candidate-est-disponible/80370-kde-4-4-environnement-nepomuk.jpg | 15:12 |
| oliver_ | alz, never done it before but compiz supports all kind of that features | 15:12 |
| Aristide | I don't know if i'm understandable :/ | 15:12 |
| alz | okay oliver_, i'm going to ask in #Compiz channel then, thanks. | 15:13 |
| Ramon_GPS | hi all, i need help with wacom for gimp under Maverick | 15:13 |
| Gulfstream | kyentei: I was thinking that or btrfs was the fastest... I am not sure, but I want to know which one is the fastest | 15:13 |
| terry | Aristide: Do you have kbuntu installed? If so, what version? | 15:13 |
| oliver_ | alz, mom | 15:13 |
| karla | barf, the kernel gets to rename interfaces around like that, how and why beats me | 15:13 |
| oliver_ | alz, think found it .. | 15:13 |
| barf | What is the rule about not having 2 of the same NIC on odd slots? | 15:13 |
| alz | oliver_, okay i'm waiting | 15:13 |
| kyentei | Gulfstream: If you're going to use btrfs, make sure you have a seperate /boot on EXT3 or EXT4 | 15:13 |
| Aristide | terry, I have install the last kubuntu vesion ... 4.5.1 | 15:14 |
| Aristide | From kubuntu-desktop | 15:14 |
| barf | I rebooted, will see if it is still up that same creek | 15:14 |
| Gulfstream | kyentei: I have that at the moment | 15:14 |
| === hacked_ is now known as hacked | ||
| IdleOne | Gulfstream: you probably want to stick with ext4 seeing how btrfs isn't completely feature full | 15:14 |
| oliver_ | alz, ok go to ccsm general -> key bindings (scroll down) -> show desktop | 15:14 |
| Aristide | Kubuntu 10.10 | 15:15 |
| terry | Aristide: You mean 10.04? | 15:15 |
| Gulfstream | that probably explains my system acting up, so I will have to use ext4 | 15:15 |
| oliver_ | alz, found it? | 15:15 |
| terry | Aristide: Ok, 10.10 32bit ? | 15:15 |
| IdleOne | ext4 is stable and the speed increase you may get with btrfs won't even be noticeable imo | 15:15 |
| Aristide | Yes terry | 15:15 |
| alz | is it in Compiz oliver_ ? | 15:15 |
| Aristide | 10.10 32b | 15:15 |
| Aristide | I have install kubuntu-desktop from ubuntu | 15:16 |
| Aristide | *installed | 15:16 |
| megamark16 | hey everyone, I'm trying to write to a tape backup drive using a barebones tar script and I'm only getting about 5.0 KiB/s write speeds | 15:16 |
| oliver_ | alz, type in a console ccsm (this opens up the compizconfig settings manager) if u don't have that one just install it from synaptic | 15:16 |
| megamark16 | I'm reading from local disk, tried it with and without gzip | 15:16 |
| alz | I have it oliver_ | 15:16 |
| kyentei | IdleOne: I think they both go nearly as fast, as it comes down to the harddisk more than to the filesystem. | 15:16 |
| alz | but I dont see key bindings options | 15:17 |
| oliver_ | alz, go to category "general" | 15:17 |
| oliver_ | alz, then "general options" | 15:17 |
| megamark16 | not sure if it could be a driver issue with my scsi card, the drive, or what | 15:17 |
| === Steve[cug] is now known as SteveCUG | ||
| terry | Aristide: So do you want that bar at bottom? | 15:17 |
| alz | ok oliver_ | 15:17 |
| oliver_ | alz, and there you will find what i described you | 15:17 |
| IdleOne | kyentei: yeah, so the deciding factor should be stability. btrfs is still not complete from what I understand. | 15:17 |
| [4-tea-2] | Interesting bug: whenever I start Liferea, gnome-panel stops updating (ie. the clock, Bubblemon etc. seem to "hang"), yet all the gnome-panel menus (and the menus of all the applets) still work. Anybody else seeing something like this? | 15:18 |
| sipior | megamark16: depending on the age of your equipment, you may want to make sure that your scsi bus is correctly terminated. | 15:18 |
| Aristide | terry, Yes with a kmenu | 15:18 |
| kyentei | IdleOne: If it was, I think Ubuntu would be using it by now. ^^ | 15:18 |
| alz | awesome oliver_ | 15:18 |
| alz | Thanks so much | 15:18 |
| Aristide | But the panel is lock | 15:18 |

| elegos | I've installed ubuntu on my iMac8,1 (early 2008). It works like a charm, but I've got a little problem with the audio: it doesn't recognize my headphones jack | 15:19 |
| elegos | my audio card is seen as: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 04) | 15:19 |
| elegos | do you have any idea about it? | 15:20 |
| megamark16 | well, I don't know a ton about scsi but I've got a terminator plugged into the second slot and the green light is on, how can I tell if the drive is terminated correctly? | 15:20 |
| Gulfstream | what does the resize online mean? | 15:21 |
| IdleOne | Gulfstream: that means you will be able to resize a partition while it is mounted | 15:22 |
| terry | Aristide: If you want to put KDE back to it's original state you can simply rm -rf ~/.kde | 15:23 |
| IdleOne | Gulfstream: still not completely supported and they suggest FULL backups before doing so. | 15:23 |
| === marc is now known as Guest88175 | ||
| Gulfstream | how do I force a filesystem check? | 15:23 |
| terry | Aristide: That should put it back the way it was when you installed, (after you log out and back in again or reboot). | 15:23 |
| Kartagis | !fsck | Gulfstream | 15:24 |
| ubottu | Gulfstream: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 15:24 |
| terry | Aristide: Actually, you can bring up a fresh new terminal and type rm -rf .kde | 15:24 |

| === SteveCUG is now known as Steve[cug] | ||

| === gezegenci is now known as Guest29612 | ||

| farhad | ActionParsnip, i will try | 17:11 |
| oCean | fortash: tip: type 'history' in terminal to find your command history | 17:11 |

| WildcatLG | does anyone know the difference between IP Masquerading in ubuntu and Network address translation? are they the same just different names? | 17:25 |
| sipior | WildcatLG: ip masquerade is simply a subset of NAT. | 17:25 |
| sipior | WildcatLG: specifically, ip masq is a form of address translation which maps multiple internal addresses to a single outward-facing address. | 17:26 |
| iplaythisgame | rm -r -vv /stuff/disk2/Stuff/Books/Fiction/ rm: cannot remove directory `/stuff/disk2/Stuff/Books/Fiction': Directory not empty this after the fsck(which got rid of most of the stuff) | 17:26 |
| sipior | WildcatLG: formally, NAT can mean a one-to-one mapping of internal and external addresses. probably not what you want. | 17:27 |
| WildcatLG | sipior: ok thanks. so what our current Cisco ASA firewall does inst simply NAT (as it maps entire VLANS to its external IP) its IP masquarading. They just dont call it that | 17:28 |
| sipior | WildcatLG: ip masquerading is a subset of NAT, so what they say is quite correct. | 17:29 |
| WildcatLG | ok good now i know wht i need to setup up... here comes the long task of replicating all of our IP masq settings from the ASA into ubuntu server | 17:29 |

| ThinkT510 | endlesspuddingcu: that is unusual, being a laptop you only have one drive so it should come up as sda | 18:35 |
| jrib | maccc: what version of ubuntu? | 18:35 |
| maccc | 10.04.2 lts | 18:35 |
| endlesspuddingcu | ThinkT510: yes it was, but it has changed! | 18:36 |
| jrib | maccc: upgrade to maverick and you'll have 1.9.0 | 18:36 |
| ki__ | I have a webcam on my laptop. I'd like to make the output of the webcam equal to the youtube video playing. I think I need webcam admin tool or something. Any advice? | 18:36 |
| jrib | !upgrade | maccc | 18:36 |
| ubottu | maccc: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 18:36 |

| ActionParsnip | ki__: so therefor showing the viewer your youtube vid? | 18:36 |
| maccc | 10.04 is lts ... that is why i want this one | 18:36 |
| ThinkT510 | endlesspuddingcu: i can't think of what would cause that, you haven't changed anything in the bios? | 18:36 |
| ki__ | ActionParsnip: yes, exactly | 18:37 |
| jrib | maccc: what does lts mean to you? | 18:37 |
| jrib | !who | maccc | 18:37 |
| ubottu | maccc: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 18:37 |
| maccc | long term support .... more stable by now | 18:37 |
| javahorn | ActionParsnip: in /etc/default/grub in the quotes with: quiet splash after you save the new file, run: sudo update-grub +acpi_backlight=samsung , what is the complete command as samsung link is for fedora , does not work!! | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | javahorn: no, the option is: acpi_backlight=vendor not acpi_backlight=samsung | 18:38 |
| jrib | maccc: if you want more recent software then you don't want to run lts. Use ubuntu 10.10 maverick, it's the latest stable release of ubuntu and has the version of Xorg you want | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | javahorn: change "quiet splash" to "acpi_backlight=samsung quiet splash" | 18:38 |
| javahorn | ActionParsnip: i go to /etc/default/grub and then run this command which you just wrote? | 18:39 |
| adamkex | does anybody know any software for recovering old files on broken/reformatted harddrives? | 18:39 |

| javahorn | ActionParsnip: i can not even go to /etc/default/grub !! | 18:40 |
| Timmmm | I installed quilt, but I can't work out the options... | 18:40 |
| maccc | !jrib is 10.10 updated regularry ? | 18:40 |
| okapi14 | actionParsnip: how can I install HARDWARE DRIVER MANAGER? | 18:41 |
| brainfart | irssi through the terminal.... how should i go about that? | 18:41 |
| jrib | maccc: it receives security updates just like 10.04 does, yes | 18:41 |
| cardplayer | hey guys tryin to install ubuntu and dual boot with windows 7 on my laptop i have my 320 gb hard drive partitioned into 2 drives when i try to boot off the ubuntu disk and get the the screen where it deals with partitioning it shows my partitions but the size of the partitions it shows are not correct and i cannot tell what partition is what i dont want to nuke my windows partition when i have the other partition completly free any | 18:41 |
| javahorn | ActionParsnip: i manage to go to /etc/default | 18:41 |
| jrib | brainfart: install the irssi package (sudo apt-get install irssi), then run it with the "irssi" command (see docs irssi.org) | 18:41 |
| rhadamanthys | what jrib said | 18:42 |
| dunkert` | esp -c server | 18:42 |
| dunkert` | ;] | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | javahorn: run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub you now have write access | 18:42 |
| MK` | When the next stable release comes out, will I have any trouble updated from 10.10? | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | MK`: should be fine | 18:42 |
| endlesspuddingcu | Does anyone know how to change a /dev/sdb1 filesystem back into sda? Because it changed for some reason | 18:42 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: just use UUIDs | 18:42 |
| MK` | can I keep using Shell? | 18:42 |
| jrib | MK`: of course | 18:42 |
| adamkex | does anybody know any software for recovering old files on broken/reformatted harddrives? | 18:43 |
| MK` | The other changes seem like they won't affect me | 18:43 |
| jrib | MK`: wait, what do you mean by "Shell"? | 18:43 |
| MK` | I don't use Rythmbox and I already have LibreOffice | 18:43 |
| MK` | Gnome | 18:43 |
| MK` | GNOME* | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | endlesspuddingcu: adamkex foremost is good | 18:43 |
| Timmmm | nm got it! | 18:43 |
| endlesspuddingcu | jrib: can you tell me how to do that? | 18:43 |
| mkeath | would anyone be able to venture a guess as to why my dual monitor settings aren't being saved? | 18:44 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: why did sda1 becoming sdb1 affect you? What were you trying to accomplish? | 18:44 |
| cardplayer | ::sighs::: | 18:44 |
| rhadamanthys | mkeath, mine were doing the same thing. are you running an nvidia card? | 18:44 |
| endlesspuddingcu | jrib: it changed without me doing anything, and now I can't mount the filesystem anymore, so I'm guessing it's because of that. I'm using the livecd now to fix it | 18:45 |
| MK` | I don't mean to ask dumb questions, I'm just brand new to Ubuntu | 18:45 |
| jrib | cardplayer: mount the partitions and figure out which one is which that way | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | endlesspuddingcu: ubuntu uses blkid now so the device name is moot | 18:45 |
| MK` | Updating on windows has made me paranoid | 18:45 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: the issue is with your fstab? | 18:45 |
| mkeath | rhadamanthys, no it's ati | 18:45 |
| mkeath | but what did you have to do? | 18:45 |
| cardplayer | linux noob how do i mount a partiton while in setup | 18:45 |
| jrib | MK`: ask #ubuntu+1 what the current status of using gnome shell in natty is | 18:45 |
| MK` | ah is that the unstable channel? | 18:46 |
| jrib | cardplayer: you can just click on it in nautilus | 18:46 |
| tuzlo | I am getting an error message when installing phpbb thru USC. http://pastebin.com/QgDYKegZ, I know this is spanning mysql, phpbb and the installer can someone have a loook at that and maybe point me in the right direction | 18:46 |
| endlesspuddingcu | jrib: i'm guessing it is | 18:46 |
| cardplayer | nautilus is the gui i get when booting from the cd? | 18:46 |
| jrib | !uuid | endlesspuddingcu | 18:46 |
| ubottu | endlesspuddingcu: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 18:46 |
| rhadamanthys | i had to open my nvidia control panel on every restart and it loaded them again, mine were different resolutions and i used twinview, upon an update to ubuntu it just corrected itself | 18:46 |
| javahorn | ActionParsnip: 'acpi_backlight=samsung quiet splash -- Make this new entry grub file which opens after running that command and run update as there is NO default entry of quiet splash!! | 18:46 |
| BluesKaj | cardplayer, have you tried to resize and create a new partition for ubuntu ? | 18:47 |
| rhadamanthys | always confused me | 18:47 |
| MK` | cardplayer in 10.10 yeah | 18:47 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: then just replace /dev/sda1 with UUID=longstringofcharactersthatcomposeyouruuid | 18:47 |
| jrib | cardplayer: nautilus is the file browser | 18:47 |
| endlesspuddingcu | jrib: where? | 18:47 |
| mkeath | oh ok | 18:47 |
| mkeath | well i am going to see if there are any updates available | 18:47 |
| _skpl | does anyone know if there is a way to make my background fade in when gnome starts? | 18:47 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: in /etc/fstab | 18:47 |
| === moon is now known as Guest75376 | ||
| cardplayer | ok ill she what i can do here | 18:48 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: if you're not sure the issue is there, then it could be grub | 18:48 |
| mkeath | speak of the devil there are | 18:48 |
| rhadamanthys | :) | 18:48 |
| red2kic | _skpl: Do something productive instead of toying around. :) | 18:48 |
| endlesspuddingcu | jrib: but I can't access /etc/fstab because I can't mount my hard disk | 18:49 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: why not? | 18:49 |
| javahorn | ActionParsnip: 'acpi_backlight=samsung quiet splash -- Make this new entry grub file which opens after running that command and run update as there is NO default entry of quiet splash!! | 18:49 |
| endlesspuddingcu | jrib: because I don't know. I think because it changed from sda to sdb | 18:50 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: why would that matter? Just use sdb1 instead of sda1 to mount it | 18:50 |
| endlesspuddingcu | jrib: but how? | 18:50 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: use a live cd | 18:50 |
| endlesspuddingcu | jrib: I am using one right now | 18:51 |
| endlesspuddingcu | jrib: I can't check and repair the disk using GParted, it gives me errors | 18:51 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: I didn't tell you to, I'm not even sure what that does | 18:51 |
| _skpl | red2kic: i only ask because i had a login background set using ubuntu-tweak, but the option has dissapeared from the program. strange, huh? crippleware perhaps? | 18:51 |
| jhford | can someone running 32-bit ubuntu please run 'file /usr/lib' for me? | 18:51 |
| maddler | anyone with a Gobi 2000 wwan modem? | 18:52 |
| cjohnston | DBO: ping | 18:52 |
| DBO | pong | 18:52 |
| endlesspuddingcu | jrib: normally it makes me able to mount the disk again | 18:52 |
| jrib | jhford: that's a directory... | 18:52 |
| michiwend | maddler, jap whats the matter? | 18:52 |
| jhford | jrib, i know | 18:52 |
| jhford | i want to see if it is a symlink on 32bit systems | 18:52 |
| cjohnston | DBO: your class starts in ~8 minutes.. | 18:52 |
| quantumlemur | hey, I'm using ubuntu netbook remix, and I'd like to either A) unlock the panel so that I can add in new applets, or B) use the netbook menubar panel in a normal gnome session, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do either one after extensive google searching. anyone have any tips? | 18:52 |
| DBO | cjohnston, thanks :) | 18:52 |
| jhford | (on 64bit systesms, /usr/lib is a symlink to /usr/lib64 | 18:52 |
| jhford | (or the other way around) | 18:53 |
| cjohnston | I see your in there now.. I got a ping saying you werent there DBO :-) | 18:53 |
| jrib | jhford: no it's not | 18:53 |
| javahorn | ActionParsnip: i do "acpi_backlight=samsung quiet splash" and update but no effect, do i need to shutdown? | 18:53 |
| aigoo | hey guys | 18:53 |
| DBO | cjohnston, I wasn't :P | 18:53 |
| maco | quantumlemur: i suspect you could run gconf-editor then go to /apps/gnome-panel and unlock it manually in there | 18:53 |
| jhford | jrib, i reversed it, /usr/lib64 is a symlink to /usr/lib on 64bit systems | 18:53 |
| ggolan | Greetings, what is the simplest way to add an option to the kernel line during bootup, I am using 10.04/grub2 and I want to add nmi_watchdog=1 to my kernel options during boot | 18:53 |
| jrib | jhford: yes, so what's your question? | 18:53 |
| aigoo | I'd like to know wether it's possible to move the mouse to bottom right and have all windows show up just like OSX? | 18:53 |
| maddler | michiwend: can't make it work on a Sony Vaio VPCS notebook | 18:53 |
| maddler | michiwend: tried copying firmware files from Windows but nothing... | 18:54 |
| jrib | endlesspuddingcu: so what happens when you try to mount the disk now? Use a pastebin | 18:54 |
| ThinkT510 | !compiz | aigoo | 18:54 |
| ubottu | aigoo: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 18:54 |
| javahorn | ActionParsnip: i am bit lost. :( | 18:54 |
| michiwend | maddler, tried gobi loader from repos? | 18:54 |
| jhford | jrib, well, rethinking my question, i should probably see what the output of 'file /usr/lib64' is on a 32bit machine (curious if it is even there) | 18:54 |
| maddler | michiwend: yes... it hungs after launching it... | 18:54 |
| jrib | jhford: doesn't exist | 18:54 |
| aigoo | okay thanks ubottu and ThinkT510, gonna try it out | 18:54 |
| jhford | jrib, thanks | 18:54 |
| michiwend | maddler, yap, that one ist broken i guess... mom | 18:55 |
| maddler | michiwend: I also tried latest 0.7 | 18:55 |
| maddler | same result | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | javahorn: http://www.pastie.org/1617828 | 18:55 |
| ActionParsnip | aigoo: its a part of compiz | 18:56 |
| aigoo | ActionParsnip : which one exactly ? keys binding? | 18:56 |
| quantumlemur | maco, the closest setting I can find is apps/panel/global/locked_down, but it's unset, even though I can't change anything | 18:56 |
| ThinkT510 | aigoo: i think the plugin is called scale | 18:56 |
| ThinkT510 | aigoo you can set the keybindings or window edges in the settings manager (ccsm) | 18:57 |
| michiwend | maddler, hmfp.... so i guess there is no way to get it working. gobiloader ist the big problem. i have the same problems but it worked some time ago for me. know every time using it under windows it works exactly one time in ubuntu :/ | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | aigoo: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-803670.html | 18:57 |
| overclucker | what does a pattern file used with grep -f look like? | 18:57 |
| maco | quantumlemur: there should be dirs for individual panels too, i think | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ThinkT510: yes, its scale | 18:57 |
| ardchoille | maco: there is | 18:57 |
| aigoo | thanks ActionParsnip, gonna have a look. | 18:58 |

| michiwend | maddler, it has somthing to do with the gobiloader. You can check the usb | 18:59 |
| michiwend | maddler, sry | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | javahorn: you need to reboot to apply the option | 18:59 |

| michiwend | maddler, when firmware is not laoded it reads ID 05c6:9204 Qualcomm, Inc. | 19:00 |
| quantumlemur | maco, ah yeah, I did find a 'lock' setting for what seems to be the panel, but unsetting it doesn't allow me to change anything, still | 19:00 |
| michiwend | maddler, ohterwise it reads ID 05c6:9205 | 19:00 |
| maddler | michiwend: yes... perhaps... btw... not a big issue... I don't really need it, being able to use my phone as an access point. Just could've been useful sometime | 19:01 |
| michiwend | maddler, im using it on my thinkpad but have to reboot into windows and then again into linx :D | 19:01 |
| maddler | michiwend: hehe... I could consider installing Winblows on my notebook perhaps... :D | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip | michiwend: read: dmesg | less you will see the firmware file mentioned ;) | 19:02 |
| michiwend | maddler, nooooo :D it´s just my gaming OS so please do not install windows just for using it to load the firmware, hahaha | 19:03 |
| _Narc_ | Hello all. When I login, the desktop shows up, the login sound plays after a pause and Gnome takes a few more seconds to load. Any suggestion to speed it up the way it should be ? (I already cleaned up my startup apps) Maverick. Thanks. | 19:03 |
| maddler | michiwend: well... I have no other use for windows... :D | 19:04 |
| overclucker | jrib: I was thinking I could just from a regular expression in a file and have it read easily, but maybe it's not for regular expressions | 19:04 |
| jrib | overclucker: you could do that if you want, though I guess it's main purpose is to have a list of patterns you want to check | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | _Narc_: reduce bootup items | 19:05 |
| michiwend | maddler, yeah ;D... so what i wanted to say is, that the wwan card works properly for me so it does only depend on the firmware being loaded or not | 19:05 |
| _Narc_ | ActionParsnip : You mean Startup Applications ? | 19:06 |
| javahorn | ActionParsnip: Thanks , i have got a pair of new eyes!!! so straining it was. Though it is set to max perhaps , Fn+ Brightness does not work though . ;-) | 19:07 |

| Mrokii | Pici: I'll ask in ##networking, thanks. #ubuntu-offtopic didn't came up with an anser (or maybe I was too impatient :) ) | 19:20 |
| jrib | mojoe1987: well first thing you should do is checksum your install disc | 19:21 |
| jrib | !verify | mojoe1987 | 19:21 |
| ubottu | mojoe1987: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 19:21 |
| agnostic | jrib: Thanks, it worked. Something I also should know for the future :-) | 19:22 |
| jrib | agnostic: that command only gives information, it doesn't do anything | 19:22 |
| agnostic | jrib: I mean with the mixed package-source. It will always use the newest, right? | 19:22 |
| jrib | agnostic: no, you should use the one for your version of ubuntu | 19:23 |
| agnostic | jrib: exactly ;-) | 19:23 |
| agnostic | jrib: But you told me that before. | 19:23 |
| mojoe1987 | i used imgburn to make the disk. it has a verification process and the disk was clean | 19:23 |
| jrib | agnostic: ok | 19:23 |
| keith27 | how can i kill an active network connection | 19:24 |
| jrib | mojoe1987: you need to actually verify the checksum of the iso you downloaded | 19:24 |
| mojoe1987 | what do you mean "checksum" | 19:24 |
| jrib | mojoe1987: read the link ubottu gave you | 19:24 |

| ActionParsnip | endlesspudingcup: use the places menu | 19:52 |
| fortash | I came for help, and I learned something new, I did not come to get your support on such "things". | 19:53 |
| endlesspudingcup | ActionParsnip, i get this error: DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending | 19:53 |

| ny3blpb | how to find my password for su or reset it | 19:54 |
| ActionParsnip | endlesspudingcup: what filesystem is the partition? | 19:54 |
| ActionParsnip | !noroot | 19:54 |
| ubottu | We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but 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. | 19:54 |
| Rc43 | ActionParsnip, swappiness isn't necessar? | 19:54 |
| endlesspudingcup | ActionParsnip: ext4 | 19:54 |
| pyro__ | !root | 19:54 |
| ubottu | 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 | 19:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ny3blpb: use: sudo -i | 19:54 |
| Rc43 | And i should restart, i think, right? | 19:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Rc43:that isn't what that will do | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Rc43: swappiness of zero will mean the OS only uses swap if it has to | 19:55 |
| Rc43 | Ok, thanks, i try. | 19:55 |
| endlesspudingcup | ActionParsnip: it's /dev/sdb1 | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Rc43: you can use: sudo sysctl -p this is Linux, reboots are for windows | 19:56 |
| Rc43 | Have anything thought about sudden disperformance? | 19:56 |
| Rc43 | ActionParsnip, ye, i know that phrase :) | 19:57 |

| ActionParsnip | endlesspudingcup: read: man fsck to see the options | 19:59 |
| nikitis | !metamode | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Rc43: it tells the kernel how to manage ram | 19:59 |
| Rc43 | So, it is debian/ubuntu's feature? | 20:00 |
| Rc43 | I mean, could i set something similar in other distros? | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Rc43: you may also want to install and/or configure video chip settings | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Rc43: no its Linuxes feature, the kernel | 20:01 |
| Rc43 | ok, understood | 20:01 |

| Zed` | erUSUL: partly and partly figured it out :)) | 20:02 |

| meowsus | I've got a weird problem with my number pad on my keyboard. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes the numbers just move the mouse 1 pixel around the screen, like the arrow keys. It seems totally random and seems to correct itself automatically, then break again. And yes, the numlock key is on, i've tried it both with it on and off. | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Tuzlo: sudo lshw -C display | 20:21 |

| mickster04 | meowsus: are you using some key combo that triggers it? | 20:23 |
| dude | damn!! | 20:23 |
| geoffmcc | endlesspudingcup: to be clear i think its hungup on the last time you tried to mount and that why giving u busy msg when trying to repair | 20:23 |

| homiethesock | i assume that was directed at me | 20:24 |
| meowsus | mickster04, well, it started happening after i got a new Logitech keyboard. No settings were changed, it just seems like Ubuntu doesn't like this one as much as the other one. | 20:24 |
| monkeyD | I have a pc with a sis card, and I updated my ubuntu, but I still have vertical lines that doesnt want to go and some vertival lines that moves when I move the mouse, if I put the screen on my windows pc I have no problems | 20:24 |
| mickster04 | meowsus: hum...what keyboard is it, maybe theres some signal issues? | 20:24 |
| homiethesock | and i will just answer that i wouldn't be asking if i didn't check the most obvious things first | 20:24 |

| gribouille | hi | 20:29 |
| gribouille | sshfs hangs completely. I can't kill it. Wnat do I have to do ? | 20:29 |
| mickster04 | anyway meowsus not really sure...it seems like a pretty normal keyboard :/ if you work out it's triggers, let us know. it may be time based or a specific key | 20:29 |
| mickster04 | homiethesock: also, I dunno about your problem, that issue has been solved before though | 20:30 |
| meowsus | mickster04, figured it out. It was the "mouse keys" thing in SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > KEYBOARD | 20:30 |
| meowsus | Also, SHIFT + NUM LOCK turns it on and off. | 20:30 |
| mickster04 | meowsus: so what it was always on? i thought you siad it was intermittent? | 20:30 |
| meowsus | My fat, fat fingers must have been acting on their own accord again. | 20:30 |
| Darael | I'm having some problems with Flash in 64-bit Ubuntu. Have tested both repository-32-bit and native-64-bit flash player. In any case, pressing the shift key is registered, but releasing it doesn't seem to be, unless there's a text-entry area in the Flash. Example of places it can happen: http://ur1.ca/3cg3b | 20:30 |
| mickster04 | meowsus: ah ok | 20:30 |
| gribouille | sshfs hangs completely. I can't kill it. Wnat do I have to do ? | 20:30 |
| homiethesock | mickster04, if you're referring to the mountain of bug reports and the handful of workarounds, yes, i am aware, i was hoping to get a little deeper into it with someone who had more than a vague idea | 20:30 |
| meowsus | mickster04, yeah, the keyboard may be just the slightest bit TOO compact :P | 20:31 |
| mickster04 | meowsus: :) | 20:31 |
| meowsus | mickster04, thanks for you help anywho! | 20:31 |
| vismundCygnus | guys, im having some trouble connecting to my wireless router with my new netbook, anyone wanna help? | 20:31 |
| mickster04 | homiethesock: well i meant we have had people come here with the problem of non saving settings before :/ i dunno whta the solution was tho | 20:31 |
| monokrome | Hey. How can I move the NetworkMonitor in my panel?! | 20:31 |
| mickster04 | !details | vismundCygnus | 20:31 |
| ubottu | vismundCygnus: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 20:31 |
| homiethesock | mickster04, its not an issue with settings not being saved | 20:31 |
| barf | xrandr tells me can’t open display | 20:32 |
| koss | #chrzanow | 20:32 |
| mickster04 | monokrome: right click next to it, move, if that is greyed out, uncheck lock to panel | 20:32 |
| monokrome | I can right click everything else but not that | 20:32 |
| mickster04 | monokrome: i am not sure that is a signle icon, it's part of the notifications app i think | 20:32 |
| vismundCygnus | well, my HP laptop can connect to my netgear router, but my acer aspire one cannot, bot running 10.10 | 20:32 |
| edward1 | Hello | 20:32 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||
| mickster04 | monokrome: try moving theother things a little and see what moves it | 20:32 |
| monokrome | Nope, I already moved the other things | 20:33 |
| mickster04 | vismundCygnus: is it up to date? error messages? | 20:33 |
| mickster04 | monokrome: and that item is still not moving? | 20:33 |
| monokrome | Oh, hey it is the notification area | 20:33 |
| monokrome | I just don't have any other notifications | 20:33 |
| domell | how do i stop apache/mysql from starting at system startup ? | 20:33 |
| mickster04 | homiethesock: oh, what was the issue again? | 20:33 |
| monokrome | So there's a little tab next to the icon | 20:33 |
| monokrome | Thanks for the help, mickster04 | 20:33 |
| mickster04 | monokrome: all good :D | 20:33 |
| vismundCygnus | Mickster04, all is up to date, and i could connect to a belkin router at my buddys house just an hour ago | 20:33 |
| === guntbert is now known as whoelse | ||
| mickster04 | vismundCygnus: what happens when you try? | 20:34 |
| jrib | domell: are they sysv-init scripts or started by upstart? | 20:34 |
| homiethesock | mickster04, to be brief, no sound coming through. pulseaudio shows applications sending sound, but none of my audio systems show it coming through the card | 20:34 |
| domell | jrib: how fo i find that ? | 20:34 |
| xrdodrx | Can I configure ubuntu to use the fonts in /host/WINDOWS/Fonts ? | 20:34 |
| jrib | domell: check if /etc/init/apache*.conf and /etc/init/mysql*.conf exist | 20:34 |
| vismundCygnus | Mickster04, nothing, it tried to connect, then after about 3 minutes it stops | 20:34 |

| xrdodrx | if I made a symbolic link from /usr/share/fonts to /host/windows/fonts would it work? :o | 20:35 |
| mickster04 | vismundCygnus: what securityty is being used on the router? | 20:36 |
| endlesspudingcup | thinkt510: no, i get the same message again: e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb1 | 20:36 |
| endlesspudingcup | Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program? | 20:36 |
| domell | jrib: it exists for mysql but not for apache | 20:36 |
| vismundCygnus | rfrittman_, no no MAC filtering on, I actually reset the router because I thought that was the problem, so it has no settings/security | 20:36 |
| homiethesock | mickster04: its a professional audio sound card, analogue ins and outs for recording | 20:36 |
| mickster04 | endlesspudingcup: are u goin thru a live disk? | 20:36 |

| mickster04 | homiethesock: yeah, well if your mobo has it's own, and the bios hasn'tdisabled it.... | 20:38 |

| homiethesock | mickster04: onboard sound has been disable the whole time, so thats out =/ | 20:49 |
| ThinkT510 | endlesspudingcup: that's odd, we've verified it's not mounted but fsck thinks it is | 20:49 |
| endlesspudingcup | thinkt510: and there's no other program open | 20:49 |
| mickster04 | vismundCygnus: well that is something more fundamental then :/ if you can't connect wirelessly at all to the router...what does it do when it tries connecting without security? it won't need to authenticate will it? | 20:49 |
| Darael | I'm having some problems with Flash in 64-bit Ubuntu. Have tested both repository-32-bit and native-64-bit flash player. In any case, pressing the shift key is registered, but releasing it doesn't seem to be, unless there's a text-entry area in the Flash. Example of places it can happen: http://ur1.ca/3cg3b | 20:50 |
| mickster04 | homiethesock: gah, uhm...different hole? you can see in sound manager outputs and inputs... | 20:50 |
| vismundCygnus | mickster04, theres no security on the router, ATM | 20:50 |
| mickster04 | vismundCygnus: so what does it do? | 20:50 |
| ThinkT510 | endlesspudingcup: i wish i could help you more but this is outside my skill level (which is rather low anyway) | 20:50 |
| homiethesock | mickster04: the problem is that it doesnt show sound coming through ANY of the outputs | 20:51 |
| Darael | bencahill: I /feel/ up to it, but for future reference it's geneally better just to make the request than to ask an "anyone" question. | 20:51 |
| endlesspudingcup | thinkt510: do you know anyone i can ask more help? | 20:51 |
| homiethesock | mickster04: but the pulseaudio volume meters show that sound is coming thru | 20:51 |
| mickster04 | homiethesock: i don't think it would....uhm I am out:/ no idea what else to try | 20:51 |
| vismundCygnus | mickster04, tries to connect and gets denied authentication, authentication which should happen? | 20:51 |
| homiethesock | mickster04: fair enough | 20:51 |
| ThinkT510 | endlesspudingcup: well you're in the best place for support so hope someone else in the channel can help | 20:52 |
| mickster04 | vismundCygnus: are you sure there is no security on there? Idunno if authentication is required when connecting with no security? | 20:52 |

| nathic | starminn, so i can't do anything now | 23:48 |
| matteo_ | Starminn: Ok. Thank you very much for your help | 23:48 |
| Starminn | nathic: I told ubottu to give you info. Follow it. ;) | 23:48 |
| greppy | nathic: see the link and info that was linked by ubottu. | 23:48 |

| * Starminn is not having good luck with our bot today | 23:50 | |
| one_question | !botsnack | 23:50 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 23:50 |
| Starminn | !cookie | one_question | 23:50 |
| ubottu | one_question: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 23:50 |
| one_question | lol! | 23:50 |
| Starminn | one_question: There are some great ones in the offtopic channel. | 23:51 |
| joshmclvl1 | nathic, no luck with grub4dos? | 23:51 |
| Redmono | is this freenode ? | 23:51 |
| jrib | Redmono: yes | 23:51 |
| one_question | yes Redmono | 23:51 |
| ex0a | is it possible to make the cpu frequency scaling monitor control all the cpu cores instead of just one? | 23:51 |
| Starminn | Redmono: Yep. This is the #ubuntu channel on the Freenode network. | 23:51 |
| silk | geoffmcc: i seem to be seeing a problem with the repo: W: Failed to fetch http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/main/source/Sources.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch | 23:51 |
| Redmono | just making sure | 23:51 |
| nathic | joshmclvl1, couldn't figure how to do that .. | 23:51 |
| gsp2009 | hello everyone. When trying to move my /home to a separate partition, I am using sudo find . -depth -print0 | cpio --null --sparse -pvd /mnt/newhome. I am getting permission errors. "cannot make directory". Anyone know why? | 23:51 |
| one_question | silk: type "host google.com" in terminal | 23:52 |
| nathic | joshmclvl1 and also the link from ubottu always tells me use a live cd ... bah i don't have cds | 23:52 |
| geoffmcc | nathic: maybe i missed. no live cd available? | 23:52 |
| jrib | gsp2009: your sudo is in the wrong spot | 23:52 |
| tim167 | hello, i want to install 'bakefile', i read "Download the key used to sign these packages and add it to the list of trusted keys" but how do i do that? i don't see any link to a 'key' or such... what am i missing ? | 23:52 |
| jrib | !separatehome | gsp2009 | 23:52 |
| ubottu | gsp2009: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 23:52 |
| silk | one_question: yes I can resolve names | 23:52 |
| silk | the error message states it a Hash Sum mismatch, not cant reach host | 23:52 |
| Jordan_U | gsp2009: First, why do you want to move /home to a separate partition? Are you using more than one distribution? | 23:52 |
| Starminn | nathic: How about a USB? | 23:52 |
| geoffmcc | silk: i have had that happen b4 and just run again and it goes threw, or did u try after first initial fail | 23:53 |
| silk | ive tried it a few times now | 23:53 |
| Starminn | nathic: "LiveCD" = the whole 'trial' thingy. It doesn't *have* to necessarily be on a CD. | 23:53 |
| gsp2009 | jrib that is the guide I was using. You mean I should sudo from below /home? | 23:53 |
| nathic | Starminn, yeah got a 160gb external hard drive | 23:53 |
| geoffmcc | nathic: flash drive maybe? | 23:53 |
| jrib | gsp2009: add a sudo after the | | 23:53 |
| Starminn | nathic: I mean flash drive, not external HDD. ;) | 23:53 |
| nathic | geoffmcc nah hard drive | 23:53 |
| geoffmcc | nathic: lol keep on being 1 sec two late | 23:53 |
| geoffmcc | too | 23:53 |
| silk | so I am seeing the issue directly from that host, and I also think I am seeing a problem with Sources on a box running reprepro as it is not seeing any updates for the tzdata-java package | 23:54 |
| gsp2009 | Jordan_U: just so that I can switch distros if needed.. right now I am just reinstalling 10.10. | 23:54 |
| geoffmcc | nathic: no cds or no access to burn. cause if u got a cd can just repair windows loader if have that cd then burn ubuntu | 23:54 |
| gsp2009 | jrib: gotcha. nice. thanks. | 23:54 |
| tim167 | how do i "add a key to the list of trusted keys" ? | 23:55 |
| geoffmcc | silk: any reason using 10.04 - i think u said was recent install, do you not wish to use 10.10? | 23:55 |
| nathic | geoffmcc, I've neither a cd nor the possibility to burn one nor a flashdrive (except an iPhone is a flashdrive maybe?) | 23:56 |
| silk | geoffmcc: no I dont. Its part of a service that has been tested on 10.04 | 23:56 |
| geoffmcc | nathic: can update right from you 10.04 | 23:56 |
| geoffmcc | nathic: sorry confused msgs | 23:56 |
| geoffmcc | silk: k | 23:56 |
| geoffmcc | nathic: i wouldnt use the iphone as would need to make bootable and woudlnt wanna trash it - prob wouldnt work anyways | 23:57 |
| jrib | tim167: you can use apt-key. But what are you adding exactly? | 23:58 |
| nathic | F&%/"*ç% WINDOWS!! | 23:58 |
| silk | changing to use a different archive eliminates the Checksum issue | 23:58 |
| one_question | !swear | 23:59 |
| tim167 | jrib: i need to install 'bakefile', and the instructions are "1: Download the key used to sign these packages and add it to the list of trusted keys" but i don't know where to get that key...i'm new to that | 23:59 |
