| arand | Lars_G: That doesn't look like a standard debian repo. Don't know if it will work at all. | 01:01 |
| * Lars_G nods | 01:01 | |
| civilordergone | is vmware workstation free in ubuntu? | 01:01 |

| gueriLLaPunK | anyone know of a good network bandwidth monitor? i have 9.10 with fluxbox | 01:02 |
| Lars_G | civilordergone: No, vmware workstation is a paid program, for all distros | 01:02 |
| gueriLLaPunK | and im a total noob | 01:02 |
| civilordergone | =[ | 01:02 |
| gueriLLaPunK | little CLI experience | 01:02 |
| civilordergone | but vm player should be free? | 01:02 |
| civilordergone | lars_g | 01:02 |
| needmoreram | hello all | 01:02 |
| six2one | vmware server is "free" | 01:02 |
| muelli | gratis maybe | 01:02 |
| Lars_G | civilordergone: Yes, vmplayer and vmware server and vmware esxi are free | 01:02 |
| civilordergone | okay thanks! | 01:02 |
| itaylor57 | sougata_: I am aware of that, but its off topic anyways | 01:02 |
| Lars_G | civilordergone: personally for desktop like use I'd suggest VirtualBox. for Servers Xen or XenServer | 01:02 |
| * sougata_ agrees | 01:03 | |
| civilordergone | lars_g i'm currently using vbox right now, i just like vmware's unity coherence function | 01:03 |
| civilordergone | the one in vbox is a little iffy | 01:03 |

| sougata_ | meowski, I will enumerate the steps and paste you the link | 01:03 |
| gueriLLaPunK | just type bwm-ng in putty? | 01:04 |
| meowski | alright sougata_ | 01:04 |
| gueriLLaPunK | Lars_G, thats fine | 01:04 |
| inside-out-bunny | gueriLLaPunK: install it first via apt-get | 01:04 |
| Lars_G | gueriLLaPunK: specifically bmon and iptraf both. Bmon is simpler | 01:04 |
| inside-out-bunny | it's very rudimentary but it works | 01:04 |
| gueriLLaPunK | i have htop installed. dunno if that matters | 01:04 |
| six2one | hey everyone, got a new laptop (dell e6410) and there is a known issue with gfx. question: how can i edit grub2 to add something when i cant see anything. i have 10.10 live cd and 10.10 install. | 01:04 |
| gueriLLaPunK | will try those out, thanks, inside-out-bunny and Lars_G | 01:04 |
| gueriLLaPunK | Lars_G, apt-get install bmon? | 01:04 |

| Lars_G | gueriLLaPunK: to see the interface select it with up/down and hit enter. | 01:06 |
| Lars_G | your interface might be eth0 for your wired one, or wlan0 for your wireless one | 01:07 |
| Lars_G | to quit, enter "q" (without quotes) | 01:07 |
| gueriLLaPunK | fantastic | 01:07 |

| gueriLLaPunK | thanks inside-out-bunny | 01:09 |
| Lars_G | There are many good tools. | 01:09 |
| gueriLLaPunK | yes, it would seem so | 01:09 |
| Lars_G | gueriLLaPunK: iptraf is MUCH more detailed, it shows connection streams, but it's also much harder to use | 01:09 |
| gueriLLaPunK | yeah, i just need to know how fast im sending and receiving. | 01:09 |
| Lars_G | ok | 01:10 |
| Lars_G | btw there are little tools for windows managers like fluxbox that show your constant rate of net use but I don't know any off the top of my head | 01:10 |
| gueriLLaPunK | because the website im using doesnt provide a progress bar with speed so i dont know how fast im uploading | 01:10 |

| phoenixsampras | how to intall ubuntu on a Xen citrix server? it doesnt boot | 01:13 |
| Lone-ranger | I had a couple of Qs regarding Ubuntu, am thinking of installing it | 01:13 |

| Lone-ranger | lol, my questiion is much more noobish then these hitec ones | 01:13 |
| Lone-ranger | I am a very basic user | 01:13 |
| sartan | i've got a number of USB nics that i want to come up when i plug them in for later virtualization usage, but they always join my system in the down state. what's the best way to make this happen? /etc/network/interfaces -> auto usb-NIC1; iface usb-NIC1 inet manual. (i rename them with udev.d out of scope of question). ultimately i want them to be in the state they would be with 'ifconfig usb-NIC1 0.0.0.0 up' | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: common cause is services not running | 01:14 |
| === ExplodingPiglets is now known as Lap_dragon | ||
| Ziber | ActionParsnip: hm? | 01:14 |
| KGBWolf | need help restoring partimage image | 01:14 |
| sartan | it becomes tiresome to continually find parts of my network dying because usb nics unplug and plug back in =( | 01:14 |
| Ziber | php doesnt 'run' and apache, which does, is. | 01:14 |
| Lone-ranger | basically, does Ubuntu have the same registry issues that Windows has, that the registry keeps growing and eventually slows down the system? | 01:14 |
| meowski | sougata_, what do you mean? | 01:14 |
| phoenixsampras | Lone-ranger: linux doesnt have a registry, its more advanced | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: try asking a proper question with some details rather than ambigiousity. You may get a better reply then | 01:15 |
| jzero88 | If you come to an error while compiling source, when you issue "make" again, does it start off where it stopped/ | 01:15 |
| * sougata_ surrenders | 01:15 | |
| Lone-ranger | so phoenix, if I install a software, and then delete it, my system is good as new? | 01:15 |
| Ziber | ActionParsnip: My question was specific. I performed a release upgrade from ubuntu server 9.04 to 10.04.2 lts, and now apache doesnt seem to be aware of PHP. :/ | 01:15 |
| bilal_ | hi guyz, i have a problem, i have ubuntu 10.10 when i run my computer, it directly boots ubuntu and donot show me bootloader and other options | 01:16 |
| Lone-ranger | or do I need to do more of a cleanup to get rid of any residue? | 01:16 |
| gueriLLaPunK | lol whoa... iptraf is hardcore | 01:16 |
| Lone-ranger | Hi bilal | 01:16 |
| bilal_ | <Lone-ranger> hi | 01:16 |
| Lone-ranger | Bilal, where you at, if I may ask? Your name sounds very local to me | 01:16 |
| Skaperen | anyone here running 10.04 and could install a package to test it? | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: 01:13 < Ziber> What are common causes and commons solutions to a server forgetting how to display PHP with apache? | 01:17 |
| phoenixsampras | Lone-ranger: yeah, the 'packages' are removed properly | 01:17 |

| bilal_ | <Lone-ranger> yes, may b | 01:17 |
| Lone-ranger | may I priv msg you Bilal? | 01:17 |
| Ziber | ActionParsnip: I've since clarified. Can you assist please? | 01:17 |

| phoenixsampras | how to intall ubuntu on a Xen citrix server? it doesnt boot | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: can you accept that "Ziber> ActionParsnip: My question was specific." is nonesense then? | 01:18 |
| jrib | Ziber: so two-step upgrade? Did php get handled properly on 9.10? What exactly happens when you visit a php page now? | 01:18 |
| ActionParsnip | phoenixsampras: did you MD5 test the ISO you installed with? | 01:19 |
| Random832 | jrib: visit a php page? you know php isn't a client-side language right/ | 01:19 |
| dejan_ | how to downlod only files in folder example.com | 01:19 |

| phoenixsampras | ActionParsnip: yeh, its md5 verified... the problem is with the boot string... what should i use? | 01:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: if you ask really obscue questions how can anyone possibly help you? | 01:19 |
| Ziber | ActionParsnip: I thought it was enough information to begin with. | 01:19 |
| slaxnoob | hey | 01:19 |
| Ziber | jrib: Its a webserver - ie: I'm not browsing pages on it, I'm hosting pages on it. When I go to a page that only HTML, it displays fine, but any page with HTML + PHP only shows the HTML | 01:20 |
| jrib | Ziber: I asked 3 questions | 01:20 |
| needhelp1 | im having issues with easytag, I am having issues with the error "unable to rename file, file already exists". I have hundreds of files that end up being the same file names so .. i cant get past this. I wish easytag had an option to add file numbers to duplicates 2 . 3. 4. .. | 01:20 |
| sougata_ | dejan_, wget | 01:21 |
| needhelp1 | any ideas | 01:21 |
| Ziber | jrib: Sorry. Yes, I honestly didnt try it on 9.10... And the third question isnt applicable. | 01:21 |
| dejan_ | sougata_: i know but how | 01:21 |
| sougata_ | python code, urllib2 | 01:21 |
| dejan_ | i want only files in root folder not in other folders | 01:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: there are possibly hundreds of things it can be. If you provide even basic information you narrow the possibilities down drastically, like the detail you just give is hugely helpful and will help others rather than some vague nothingness. I'd bear it in mind in future question | 01:21 |
| dejan_ | can I list directories ? | 01:21 |
| Ziber | ActionParsnip: Alright. Based on my specifying it, what are some of your ideas for narrowing it down further? | 01:22 |
| muelli | dejan_: yes | 01:22 |
| dejan_ | muelli: how | 01:22 |
| jrib | Ziber: by "any page with HTML + PHP only shows the HTML" do you mean that you actually see php code as html when you visit the page? | 01:22 |

| KGBWolf | im trying to restore an image to /dev/sdb its telling me that /de/sdb is mounted and i need to unmount but when i try unmount /dev/sdb nothing happends | 01:23 |
| jrib | Ziber: so does the php just ignored? | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: if you make a really simple test page, does it work? | 01:23 |
| Ziber | jrib: Seemingly, yes. | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: html + php | 01:23 |
| Ziber | ActionParsnip: It does not, for html + php. | 01:23 |
| dejan_ | how to list directories of a website? | 01:24 |
| KGBWolf | then it says partion is too small to be restored | 01:24 |
| Ziber | KGBWolf: umount. not unmount | 01:24 |
| needhelp1 | im having issues with easytag, I am having issues with the error "unable to rename file, file already exists". I have hundreds of files that end up being the same file names so .. i cant get past this. I wish easytag had an option to add file numbers to duplicates 2 . 3. 4. .. can anyone help with this. any ideas? | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: have you asked in #php too? | 01:25 |
| bilal_ | hi guyz can anybody help me? | 01:25 |
| muelli | dejan_: There is no way to deterministically list "directories" of a website. What does that mean anyway.... | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | bilal_: ask and see | 01:25 |
| KGBWolf | i tried unmount | 01:25 |
| KGBWolf | it does not recognize that command | 01:25 |
| Ziber | ActionParsnip: No, based on the assumption (and past experience) that channel is geared towards coding, is it not? | 01:25 |
| Ziber | KGBWolf: umount | 01:25 |
| Ziber | KGBWolf: not unmount | 01:26 |
| jrib | Ziber: is libapache2-mod-php5 installed? What php* files are in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/? Are they broken links? Have you restarted apache? | 01:26 |
| bilal_ | i have ubuntu 10.10 installed, when i stars my computer it donot show me the grub boot loader and other options | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Ziber: its worth an ask | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | bilal_: if you hold shift at boot does it show? | 01:26 |
| bilal_ | it directly boots ubuntu | 01:26 |
| sougata_ | dejan_, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3173372/download-files-from-a-list-if-not-already-downloaded | 01:26 |
| KGBWolf | it says /livemount/boot device is busy | 01:26 |
| Ziber | jrib: Yes. php5.load, php5.conf. Not broken. Restarted apache a few times. | 01:26 |
| bilal_ | well, i didnot try it | 01:26 |
| sougata_ | dejan_, Its something similar , I guess you can figure out | 01:27 |
| dejan_ | sougata_: thanks | 01:27 |
| sougata_ | yw | 01:27 |
| WXZ | does anyone know how to write a collapseable list in zim? | 01:28 |
| bilal_ | <ActionParsnip> one thing more | 01:28 |
| jrib | Ziber: similar to what ActionParsnip suggests, can you create a test.php with the contents " <?php phpinfo(); ?>" and see what happens? | 01:28 |
| Ziber | jrib: Alright. Sec. | 01:28 |
| bilal_ | <ActionParsnip> when power failed or ubuntu shutsdown without confirmation, it starts disk checking after checking it reboots my computer again, why it is so | 01:29 |
| dejan_ | i am trying to list webfolders and content of a website that allow this | 01:29 |
| Ziber | jrib: It prompts me to download any .php file. | 01:29 |
| dejan_ | how i do this? | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | bilal_: sounds like the power fail may have damaged your data. You can boot to a livecd and fsck from there | 01:29 |
| Ziber | jrib: Rather than displaying it. | 01:29 |
| oscar__ | hi all I have a problem with latexila: i have some .tex files i'd like to compile with it but when i open it, latexila shows a blank file... can anyone help? | 01:30 |
| jrib | Ziber: so earlier when you described the behavior, you were not using a .php file? What was different? | 01:30 |
| Ziber | jrib: I embedded PHP in a .html | 01:30 |

| ActionParsnip | trollboy: http://www.system76.com/ | 01:49 |
| ActionParsnip | trollboy: why not just see which laptops accept linux installs well and buy that, rather than one preinstalled | 01:49 |
| bastidrazor | berto-: i assume you're having issues with fstab not seeing it correctly.. use UUID's instead. it will negate which /device it is seen as. | 01:50 |
| blackrock | resno: you mean "Hardware Drivers"? It has no driver info there | 01:50 |

| sougata_ | landingonwater_, I too had one, the hardware was damaged due to over heat | 01:53 |
| br0seidon | Can anybody help with my squid question? | 01:53 |
| landingonwater_ | sougata_: im running ubuntu 10.10 | 01:53 |
| landingonwater_ | sougata_: but i have dualboot, and vista has wifi. so... can it be damaged then ? | 01:54 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater_, cool | 01:54 |
| nejode | landingonwater_, do you have a wired conection? | 01:55 |
| landingonwater_ | sougata_: i know.. the tx1000 is running way too hot. the GPU is in the red | 01:55 |
| landingonwater_ | sougata_: yes.. i have a wired connection | 01:55 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater_, That is one bad laptop | 01:55 |
| Fishraper | How do I install and run a .exe windows file? With Wine? | 01:55 |
| br0seidon | Yes | 01:55 |
| landingonwater_ | and the ndiswrapper gui as well. installed the driver manually though. | 01:55 |
| br0seidon | With wine fishraper | 01:56 |
| br0seidon | Wine never works for me tho | 01:56 |
| landingonwater_ | sougata_: haha.. yes.. i know.. horrible laptop. but only one I've got :( | 01:56 |
| Fishraper | Is there a better solution than Wine? | 01:56 |
| sougata_ | Yes, and lets try to get the wifi working | 01:56 |
| Ziber | brb | 01:56 |
| br0seidon | No, wine is the best linux software for running window's executable files | 01:56 |
| ibnu | if wine has already been installed, just double click to setup.exe of windows | 01:56 |
| jrib | Ziber: yes, I asked earlier if userdir module is enabled | 01:56 |
| nejode | landingonwater_, install the bcmwl-kernel-source package | 01:57 |

| ActionParsnip | Fishraper: none are better, each have appdbs and some aps may work in one but not another | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Fishraper: cedega and crossover are not free | 01:58 |
| Fishraper | Ok | 01:58 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater_, are both the modules installed , ndiswrapper bcm43xx | 01:58 |
| landingonwater_ | nejode: E: Unable to locate package package | 01:58 |
| landingonwater_ | sougata_: ahh.. i will check for bcm 43xx. in the package manager ? | 01:59 |
| Fishraper | Is there a Serial to USB driver for this? I mean USB going into this ubuntu netbook, and serial going to a different device | 02:00 |
| nejode | landingonwater_, you should have all standard repositories enabled and update them | 02:00 |
| nejode | landingonwater_, source code included | 02:01 |
| landingonwater_ | sougata_: what about b43 and b43-fwcutter ? should i uninstall those ? | 02:01 |

| bl4ckcomb | you could also just reinstall your system | 02:13 |
| Fishraper | Did that make sense Action? | 02:13 |
| napalmx | ActionParsnip: there's an unrar and an unrar-free in apt repository | 02:13 |

| arrrghhh | Jasonn, not within the scope of this room, sorry. | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | napalmx: use which you desire. I always use unrar personally | 02:14 |
| Fishraper | ActionParsnip: kay, thx | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Fishraper: :D | 02:14 |
| bl4ckcomb | arrrghhh, maybe you can use clonezilla to move your current disk content to a separate medium, reinstall ubuntu, copy the kernel files to another disk, put your image back and then inject the kernel files you copied | 02:14 |
| napalmx | ok, i wasn't sure what the difference was, i erred on the side of the free version | 02:14 |
| napalmx | but it was failing to extract for me, every tiem | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | napalmx: does the archive have a password? | 02:14 |
| arrrghhh | bl4ckcomb, holy crap. i can't believe it's so easy to remove the kernel, but impossible to apt-get install it? | 02:15 |
| napalmx | nope | 02:15 |
| bl4ckcomb | arrrghhh, I'm not sure whether you can apt-get install it at the right location | 02:15 |
| bl4ckcomb | when you compile it, you can choose the location | 02:15 |
| arrrghhh | bl4ckcomb, hrm. i thought i reinstalled it yesterday... evidently not. | 02:15 |
| napalmx | seems to be working now though, thanks | 02:16 |

| [FTW]Landimal | ok noob question, I just installed Chrome, but I can't find it, where do installed programs go? | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Logan_: true but any app in the repos is also supported here | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | [FTW]Landimal: chrome the game, or the web browser? | 02:26 |
| akt | if i wanted to store my music and other files what sjould i do.. in windows i have separate partitions for that.. what to do in linux | 02:26 |
| jack_^ | [FTW]Landimal, try # sudo updatedb # locate chrome | 02:26 |
| [FTW]Landimal | the web browser | 02:26 |
| jack_^ | akt, why cant you do that in linux? | 02:26 |
| aroman | hello, is anyone here using compiz 0.9 with the desktop switcher plugin, and noticing that the dock/panels aren't being excluded? | 02:26 |
| ActionParsnip | [FTW]Landimal: if you press alt+f2 and run: chromium-browser does it run? | 02:26 |
| Logan_ | !compiz | aroman | 02:27 |
| ubottu | aroman: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | akt: you can have seperate partitions in ubuntu and they can be mounted to folder so will be seamless. The default install just has one big partition for everything | 02:27 |
| akt | should i create a separate partitions for it.. what should i do??? | 02:27 |
| aroman | Logan_: what was the point of that? | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | akt: if you wish, sure | 02:27 |
| Logan_ | aroman: support is in #compiz | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Logan_: and here | 02:27 |
| Logan_ | ... | 02:27 |
| jack_^ | :x | 02:27 |
| [FTW]Landimal | alt-f2 run: chromium-browser - no luck, trying the udatedb thing | 02:27 |
| akt | thanks man... which do u think is a good chat client | 02:27 |
| aroman | yeah this is an ubuntu thing, not a compiz thing really | 02:28 |
| Logan_ | ActionParsnip: I think it's ok to redirect people to another channel on Freenode, at least | 02:28 |
| Logan_ | especially if an active one exists | 02:28 |
| aroman | it's ubuntu not playing nice with compiz. though interestingly, I already asked in #compiz and they told me to come here | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Logan_: sure so they can ask as well but the apps are supported here also | 02:28 |
| ActionParsnip | aroman: how do you mean "aren't being excluded"? | 02:29 |
| aroman | ActionParsnip: you know how in compiz | 02:29 |
| aroman | when you switch desktops (not the 3D cube), gnome-panel is excluded from the parts of the screen that are animated? | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | [FTW]Landimal: how did you install the browser? | 02:29 |
| jack_^ | aroman, are you using expo? | 02:29 |
| jack_^ | aroman, the 'expo' effect? | 02:29 |
| aroman | that is, gnome-panel floats above the other screen elements, rather than being moved like a normal window | 02:29 |
| aroman | jack_^: yes | 02:30 |
| jack_^ | aroman, thats strange. so the panels are not animated along with the rest of the screen? | 02:30 |
| [FTW]Landimal | I installed the browser by downloading a .deb through firefox. It ran yesterday, now I'm not finding it | 02:30 |
| aroman | jack_^: they _are_ animated; that | 02:30 |
| jack_^ | [FTW]Landimal, the deb is installed in /opt i believe | 02:30 |
| aroman | 's the problem :) | 02:30 |
| jack_^ | aroman, you want the gnome panel to stay still? | 02:30 |
| aroman | yes | 02:30 |
| aroman | as it should normally | 02:30 |
| jack_^ | mine doens't behave that way with expo | 02:31 |
| aroman | rather than be moved like a normal window | 02:31 |

| jack_^ | etsw, gcc is in the repo | 02:37 |
| J_C | it should comy by default. Use Synaptic to search and download | 02:37 |
| jack_^ | Fishraper, .exe file are usually for windows. you'll need an emulator such as wine | 02:37 |
| etsw | there is GGcov in ubuntu software center ? | 02:38 |
| Fishraper | jack_^: I do have wine, it's telling me the .exe I'm trying to run is not marked as an executable | 02:38 |
| ZacLnxNewb | jack_^: installing it.. >.> | 02:38 |
| ZacLnxNewb | jack_^: What do I do after it's installed? | 02:38 |
| jack_^ | Fishraper, wine says that? try: wine /path/to/file.exe | 02:38 |
| jzero88 | Question: When you add a directory to $PATH, how can you run a program without using " ./ " first infront of it?? | 02:38 |
| jack_^ | ZacLnxNewb, open it | 02:38 |
| J_C | man chmod, chmod is the program to se to mark something as executable | 02:38 |
| jack_^ | jzero88, if the path is set correctly, it should be automagic. | 02:38 |
| jack_^ | jzero88, if its not a standard path, you can setup an alias also | 02:39 |
| jzero88 | jack_^, even so, even when I am in the folder, I still have to use ./ | 02:39 |
| jack_^ | jzero88, perhaps your path is not setup correctly. type: which <command> | 02:39 |
| J_C | jzero88: then it's not in your path | 02:39 |
| jack_^ | if it doesn't give you the path its not working heh | 02:39 |
| jzero88 | jack_^, J_C yeah not giving the path | 02:40 |
| jzero88 | how do I fix this | 02:40 |
| jzero88 | if you know | 02:40 |
| jack_^ | jzero88, type this | 02:40 |
| J_C | you could set the path, log out and log back in, or use the "source" command | 02:40 |
| leagris | jzero88, the command path does not (never) includes ./ because of security concerns. That's it, don't try to mess modify this. | 02:41 |
| jack_^ | jzero88, pwd; echo $PATH; ll <command>; | 02:41 |

| Fishraper | jack_^: That command made it work through terminal. How come it wouldn't work if I simply clicked on the file? Is it a user permission thing? | 02:42 |
| jzero88 | jack_^, J_C leagris this was the command I did. " export PATH=$PATH:/android/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools | 02:42 |
| jzero88 | " | 02:42 |
| jack_^ | Fishraper, your exe files are probably set to open with gedit or something | 02:42 |
| jack_^ | jzero88, type the command i just mentioned and gimmie the output | 02:42 |
| jzero88 | am I missing the / at end of tools | 02:42 |
| Fishraper | jack_^: Is there a way to check/change that? | 02:42 |
| jzero88 | ok | 02:43 |
| landingonwater | i think i must try tomorrow with a usb ubuntu, to make sure i didnt mess up the system. to make certain if its a hardware problem that is the reaon i dont have any wifi. | 02:43 |
| jack_^ | Fishraper, im not sure. i think there is a GUI for it somewhere | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | jack_^: is the android folder in $HOME | 02:43 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, your wifi did not work ? | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Fishraper: they need marking executable with: chmod +x filename.exe | 02:43 |
| J_C | jzero88: that should work, until you log out. Then you would have to re-run that command in a new terminal. Why not just set the path in your .bash_profile file | 02:43 |
| jack_^ | ActionParsnip, fishraper is trying to open an .exe with wine. | 02:44 |
| jzero88 | : /android/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/android/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools ls: cannot access adb: No such file or directory | 02:44 |
| jack_^ | jzero88, it says the file does not exist | 02:44 |
| jzero88 | jack_^, holy, your right | 02:45 |
| jzero88 | let me check something | 02:45 |
| Fishraper | ActionParsnip: jack_^ made the suggestion to type wine /path/filename.exe through the termal, and it worked fine. My question now I guess would be how come it didn't work by just simply click on the file in the folder through the GUI? | 02:45 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: it still wont work. messed around with It. It refuses to see the hardware. | 02:45 |
| * jzero88 feels bashful | 02:45 | |
| ActionParsnip | Fishraper: the file wasn't executable, but the wine binary is | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Fishraper: if you make the windows binary executable it will work as expected | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !cookie ! jzero88 | 02:46 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:46 |
| leagris | Fishraper, the gnome file manager let you change permissions on files and even more settings as extended attributes or ACL if you use that. Through it may be useful for single file at times, you may enjoy the versatility and power of shell commands when dealing with mass changes. | 02:46 |
| jack_^ | Fishraper, try right click the file and clicking 'open with other application'. choose wine and select 'remember this' | 02:46 |
| J_C | chmod +x filename.exe | 02:46 |
| Fishraper | ActionParsnip: So if I want to install a .exe, I'll have to chmod +x filename.exe if I want to install it through the GUI? | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | !cookie | jzero88 | 02:46 |
| ubottu | jzero88: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 02:46 |
| Jasonn | how do i see the running processes? | 02:46 |
| J_C | ps aux | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Fishraper: yes, or right click it and mark as executable. I use the cli personally but both are fine | 02:46 |
| jack_^ | Jasonn, to, or ps aux | 02:46 |
| jack_^ | jasonjang, of ps -ef | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Jasonn: ps -ef | less | 02:46 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: thanks so far. haha.. the tx1000 was created to ruin lives :D | 02:47 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, lspci -vnn | grep -i Network | 02:47 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: will try :) | 02:47 |
| Jasonn | thanks | 02:47 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, but your wifi is working on vista , that means that it should work | 02:47 |
| Fishraper | ActionParsnip: It may be my netbooks touchpad, not sure, but right clicking doesn't seem to do anything lol | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Fishraper: possibly. i'd look into that with: xev in a terminal. see if it makes events | 02:48 |
| x404x | is there a good gui frontend for iptables ? I use firestarter now , it seems iptables has a lot of rules that fire doesnt show however and i cant flush them, I get an error about smb.conf | 02:48 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, does it show anything ? | 02:48 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: lspci -vnn | grep -i Network returns nothing at all !! | 02:49 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, yes somehow the harware is not detected | 02:49 |
| jzero88 | jack_^, J_C leagris got it working guys thanks! | 02:49 |

| jack_^ | landingonwater, do you have bad breath? if so, go with the mint | 02:50 |
| J_C | no prob | 02:51 |
| KGBWolf | when restoring from partimage i have .000 .001 and .002 | 02:51 |
| x404x | iptables -f * gives me "bad argument smb.conf" is there an error in the config ? | 02:51 |
| landingonwater | jack_^: lol.. very funny | 02:51 |
| KGBWolf | do i need to restore each one? | 02:51 |
| J_C | EmuAlert: lame | 02:51 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, you mean an USB wifi dongle ? | 02:51 |
| jack_^ | :) | 02:51 |
| J_C | lame is the name of the program you want | 02:51 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: i have a live Ubuntu on USB | 02:51 |
| jack_^ | x404x, check your iptables file. maybe you put smb.conf in there | 02:51 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: thats how i installed the one i have running here. | 02:51 |
| x404x | where is that file ? | 02:52 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, why not, but I don't think it will be of any help | 02:52 |
| === marcelo is now known as Guest20818 | ||
| jack_^ | x404x, eeeh in fedora its in /etc/sysconfig/iptables | 02:52 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, the harware itself is not visible | 02:52 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: hm. you are right.. tomorrow I should to borrow a usb dongle and see if it works. | 02:52 |
| jack_^ | x404x, oh wait. what are you trying to do? | 02:52 |
| x404x | get samba to work | 02:53 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, sure , all luck :-) | 02:53 |
| x404x | it used to work before i installed the firewall, not sure what mayhen firestarter has done ;( | 02:53 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: if i can get a dongle working, then I must be the software making spaghetti | 02:53 |
| Wicked | anyone know a nice gui ftp client? | 02:53 |
| jack_^ | x404x, you should try 'iptables -F' to flush all your rules, or 'service iptables stop' | 02:53 |
| edward | gftp is fine | 02:53 |
| * sougata_ agrees | 02:53 | |
| jack_^ | x404x, currently, i believe you are telling it to import all files in your current directory | 02:54 |
| sougata_ | :-) | 02:54 |
| psusi | x404x, then stop messing with the firewall.. this isn't windows. if you don't know WHY you need to mess with the firewall, then you don't. | 02:54 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: thanks alot for you help :) some good old scientific trial and error is needed. damn.. worst thing about linux is the hardware. and also why many give up I guess. | 02:54 |
| x404x | on ubuntu there is no etc/sysconfig dir | 02:54 |
| mekaru | E ai... só tem gringo aki? | 02:54 |
| sougata_ | :- | 02:54 |
| jack_^ | x404x, -fmatch second or further fragments only | 02:54 |
| x404x | hm i did try flush, it gives me that smb.conf error, i guess smb should not be mentioned in iptables ? | 02:54 |
| jack_^ | psusi, he just said he cant connect to his samba share after enabling it | 02:54 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, that is how we learn, ;-) | 02:55 |
| x404x | service stop gives me ubrecogninzed service | 02:55 |
| jack_^ | x404x, you did lowercase 'f' in IRC. try uppercase. it matters. | 02:55 |
| jack_^ | x404x, and dont put a star | 02:55 |
| mekaru | dare ga nihonjin desuka?? | 02:55 |

| jack_^ | landingonwater, linus runs fedora on a macbook :) | 02:57 |
| maco | landingonwater: not bad? | 02:57 |
| needhelp1 | is it possible to extend partitons ? | 02:57 |

| jack_^ | my gf is wearing an 'ask me about ubuntu' shirt right now :O | 02:57 |
| x404x | hm i assumed the star meant all chains, when i try just -F i get disconnected hm guess i removed all the allow rules as well | 02:57 |
| jack_^ | needhelp1, yes | 02:57 |
| needhelp1 | jack_^, is it safe? | 02:58 |

| jack_^ | needhelp1, messing with storage is always dangerous | 02:58 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: hmm.. and Ubuntu on Macbook ? hmm.. because I like the hardware, but I have the Mac OS. would be sweet to run Ubuntu and win7 on a Macbook | 02:59 |
| needhelp1 | jack_^, true .. any recomendations? i have a 60 gig extra store partition on my hdd, and i have 30 gigs free that i need to add to that partition | 02:59 |

| sougata_ | *Ubuntu | 03:00 |
| jack_^ | x404x, you can insert an 'allow all' at the begining of your rules. it will allow everything | 03:00 |
| mekaru | não, falo portugues e japones... | 03:00 |
| mekaru | foi mal... | 03:00 |

| x404x | in what dir is the rules file ? | 03:00 |
| landingonwater | sougata_: well.... Since Im a pro photographer I cant really avoid using windows from time to time. Darktable still has a long way to go, and Lightzone can be a bitch. I wont even mention the grumpy Gimp :D | 03:01 |
| jack_^ | kp wat | 03:01 |
| jack_^ | x404x, im not sure. im running fedora :O | 03:01 |

| sougata_ | landingonwater, :-). Well I can Undestand | 03:01 |
| Logan_ | !language | landingonwater | 03:01 |
| ubottu | landingonwater: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 03:01 |
| jack_^ | landingonwater, that sounds like an excuse to me. there are most likely open source equivalents. | 03:01 |
| x404x | hm i wish all linux versions would use same dir structure... | 03:01 |
| jack_^ | x404x, indeed :) | 03:02 |
| x404x | always they include instructions for other versions in the guides making them useless | 03:02 |
| jack_^ | well, the main ones are like... debian based and redhat based | 03:02 |
| jack_^ | x404x, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 03:02 |
| jack_^ | x404x, lucky for you, ubuntu has the best documentation :) | 03:02 |
| jack_^ | x404x, from that doc i would try /etc/iptables.rules | 03:03 |
| jack_^ | kp, this is a ubuntu help channel. | 03:03 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, did you come across solang | 03:03 |
| x404x | lol if only they would supply me some of it hehe, i remember wasting atleast a day before setting up something and then realizing the instructions where for another version of linux and nothing made sence lol | 03:03 |
| landingonwater | I am watching my language ! Im just pointing out that even though Darktable is a nice project, Its got a long way to go. Alot of people edit RAW files now, so a complete switch to Ubuntu is very difficult as long as the interface designs are so horrible on the graphic tools for Ubuntu. | 03:03 |
| sougata_ | landingonwater, its more of a photo manager | 03:04 |
| landingonwater | Im using lightzone as well. very nice approach. but not user friendly for noobs. | 03:04 |
| jack_^ | landingonwater, if you stick around in here too long you're bound to get hassled :) | 03:04 |
| jack_^ | landingonwater, also, i got photoshop running in wine in ubuntu. im not sure what tools you're using | 03:04 |
| landingonwater | jack_^: haha.. okay. I asked for It. | 03:05 |
| axscode | hi guys, anyone know a net tools that redirects/bounce all connections/sessions to a sock4 or sock5 ? | 03:05 |
| jack_^ | axscode, maybe squid? | 03:05 |
| x404x | hm doesnt seem to be a iptables.rules file, did the -F delete the whole file ? | 03:06 |
| jack_^ | i think there is a place you can set it in the config actually | 03:06 |
| axscode | http://linux.downloadatoz.com/kernel-socks-bouncer/ <- something like this on ubuntu? | 03:06 |
| melfy | I got a user account and it doesn't seem like bash is loading anymore :/ | 03:06 |
| landingonwater | jack_^: I like photoshop, but I hate the workflow. Photoshop is a great pixelpusher, and I use It for print stuff. But for photography work It is horrible. | 03:06 |
| rafeta | hello? | 03:06 |
| axscode | jack: squid is only for port 80 right? | 03:06 |
| jack_^ | landingonwater, that doesn't answer the question to what you ARE using. :P | 03:06 |
| jack_^ | axscode, unsure. i think you can set it up for any port. | 03:06 |
| landingonwater | jack_^: I use DxO Pro and Lightroom. | 03:06 |
| jack_^ | axscode, it IS possible. i've done it before | 03:07 |
| axscode | jack:agree, what i mean is not only for web, all connections/ all proto | 03:07 |
| jack_^ | axscode, export http_proxy="http://username:password@host:port/" | 03:07 |
| axscode | jack: without configuring any client, | 03:07 |
| Scunizi | something is wacky... I can't even ping my router from inside my LAN.. any ideas? | 03:07 |
| ylmf | hello | 03:07 |
| jack_^ | thats 80 though | 03:07 |
| Scunizi | I do have internet though | 03:08 |
| jack_^ | Scunizi, your router does not respond ot icmp requests? heh | 03:08 |
| jack_^ | ylmf, hi there | 03:08 |
| axscode | jack: if i used that export, will it proxied my telnet, ssh, ftp and the rest? | 03:08 |
| landingonwater | jack_^: Darktable was an attempt to make a Lightroom rip of some sort, but Its taking its own path, which is great. But programmers in general have no clue how to make user interfaces. so in Darktable there are hopeless icons instead of textnavigation. Thats mean the project is "sweet", but not even close to being something that can be used for actual work. | 03:08 |
| jack_^ | axscode, that line is for all command line | 03:08 |
| Scunizi | jack_^: yea... can't ping google.com either.. actually nothing | 03:08 |

| Logan_ | !debian | hayden | 03:16 |
| Abhijit | Ben65, use bleachbit autoremove autoclean | 03:16 |
| ubottu | hayden: 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! | 03:16 |
| x404x | hm after i reboot i still have only the line i added in the iptables.rules file but iptables -L shows a pile of dropped chains still | 03:16 |
| gumbe | where is the file | 03:16 |
| x404x | clearly its not using the file listed in the guide | 03:16 |
| Ben65 | Abhijit: whats that? do i need to get bleachbit | 03:16 |
| Abhijit | Ben65, bleach bit is cleaning software. use with care. autoremove and autoclean removes the downloaded packages which are no longer needed | 03:17 |
| Abhijit | Ben65, you will find bleachbit in software center | 03:18 |

| Ben65 | x404x: check out iptables-save and iptables-restore | 03:21 |
| abstrakt | like how do I send an email from say root@localhost to say john@localhost or e.g. from bob@localhost to mary@localhost | 03:21 |

| Tanthrix_AFK | Anyone know how to setup a public, isolated network using a second router on an existing network? Just using a different ip structure is not sufficient, it seems. | 03:23 |

| jack_^ | " | 03:23 |
| ubottu | Tanthrix: You should avoid noisy away messages and -nicks in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 03:23 |
| Tanthrix | Logan_: My apologies. Sorry about that. | 03:24 |
| abstrakt | jack_^, ok thanks | 03:24 |
| Scunizi | sougata_: interesting... never thought to look there.. weird bug | 03:24 |
| x404x | hm yeah why would the gui work lol, and the save wont accept a filename so nobody knows where it saved the settings, another useful command nooot | 03:24 |

| abstrakt | jack_^, hrm, no mail command | 03:24 |
| jack_^ | Tanthrix, i dont htink thats an issue | 03:25 |
| abstrakt | jack_^, what package provides the mail command? | 03:25 |
| Ben65 | Tanthrix: have you looked into VLANs? | 03:25 |
| jack_^ | abstrakt, mailx-12.5-1.fc14.x86_64 | 03:25 |
| jack_^ | abstrakt, well... use the ubuntu version of course. sudo apt-get install mailx | 03:25 |
| x404x | it unrecognizes the service, hm that doesnt sound promising, maybe try reinstall iptables ? | 03:25 |
| abstrakt | ok | 03:25 |
| Tanthrix | Ben65: A litle bit, but I was hoping there was a simpler way. In fact, I would have thought a different subnet would do it, like a bunch of other people online. | 03:25 |
| abstrakt | jack_^, why is it called mailx ? and not mail? | 03:25 |
| jack_^ | x404x, it maybe a ubuntu thing. im unsure. | 03:25 |
| jack_^ | abstrakt, because its EXTREME | 03:26 |
| Tanthrix | Ben65: Is a VLAN the only way to do it, as far as you know? | 03:26 |
| abstrakt | er, ok | 03:26 |
| x404x | lol yeah im getting bored with it, what good is an os that denies the admin to change any settings | 03:26 |
| Ben65 | Tanthrix: you could set a completely different ip range, then the routers would be able to allow routing or deny it | 03:26 |
| abstrakt | so, there's no mailx package | 03:26 |
| abstrakt | jack_^, there's bsd-mailx | 03:26 |
| abstrakt | and there's heirloom-mailx | 03:26 |
| jack_^ | let me see | 03:26 |

| bc81 | but i don't know what he's talking about | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | x404x: the admin can | 03:27 |
| x404x | everytime i want to change network settings the apply button is greyed out and there is no way to "authenticate" | 03:27 |
| jack_^ | abstrakt, i would check those 3 packages | 03:28 |
| Tanthrix | Ben65: I've tried that, but from the 10. network you can access the 192. network. (My current test setup is a WRT54G on 192., with a Netgear WNR3500l's wan port into that, with the Netgear on 10. | 03:28 |
| sesopenko | hi where do I go for help setting up postfix, dovecot and SASL? | 03:28 |
| x404x | i finally setup ubuntu to not nag me for password for every command and rather than respect that it denies any change lol | 03:28 |
| harkenshire | where is the best place to download the torrent version of 10.04? | 03:28 |
| Tanthrix | Ben65: Sittong on a 10. system now, connected through the netgear, and I can access the 192 network ahead of it. Every system on it, no problem. | 03:28 |
| Ben65 | Tanthrix: that's because routers tend to route by default. you would have to configure them to not route, if that is your goal | 03:28 |

| harkenshire | Ben65: i need torrent, the http is too low | 03:30 |
| harkenshire | Ben65: slow* | 03:30 |
| x404x | dang , im getting very tempted to test centos... | 03:31 |
| Tanthrix | Ben65: Hrm. Well, both routers do have places to put in "static routes." But I'm afraid I really don't know what that means. They just list a destination ip, subnet, gateway, and metric on the netgear for instance. | 03:31 |
| x404x | funny nobody running big serverfarms use ubuntu... i should take a hint | 03:31 |

| sougata_ | ssbpls, may I ask why do you need it ? | 03:52 |
| drobole | sougata: he is playing with writing hes own modules i think | 03:53 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, :-) | 03:53 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:i want to study developing the linux device drivers | 03:53 |
| Tyrant | I force ldconfig to scan /usr/local/lib where I have a .so I compiled, but with verbose mode i get nothing. What could be causing this? | 03:53 |
| sougata_ | drobole, bingo | 03:53 |
| ssbpls | sougata_: i have to use some kernel module to link to my drivers | 03:54 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, you can link your code with the object files already present in your distribution | 03:54 |
| === Grandequeso is now known as svm_invictvs | ||
| ssbpls | it seems that there are just some headers in my ubuntu~~ | 03:55 |
| ssbpls | sougata_::-D | 03:55 |
| sougata_ | no | 03:55 |
| fangyuan | 11 | 03:55 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:no? | 03:56 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, /lib/modules/$(KVERSION)/build | 03:56 |
| sougata_ | where KVERSION = $(shell uname -r) | 03:56 |
| x404x | hm dang, i spoke too soon, I can only read the samba shares, the write access still fails | 03:57 |
| pdf_dude | is it possible to add a confirmation to "rm" command? | 03:58 |
| edbian | pdf_dude, Yes. But it is probably not simple. You could write a simple front-end for it. That's probably the simplest way. | 03:58 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, did you find the object files ? | 03:58 |
| Nisstyre | pdf_dude, how are your C skills? | 03:58 |
| pdf_dude | no im unskilled | 03:59 |
| drobole | pdf_dude: i guess you could do it by making a alias in ./bashrc and call the frontend with it | 03:59 |
| rww | pdf_dude: look at 'man rm'. Consider the -i or -I options to it. | 03:59 |
| pdf_dude | yes | 03:59 |
| pdf_dude | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=336406 | 03:59 |
| edbian | Nisstyre, pdf_dude You could probably write a simple bash script that asks confirmation and only runs the rm command if you say 'yes' Then name that script 'rm' (and rename rm) Bit of a hack. | 03:59 |
| rww | combine with an alias in bash. | 03:59 |
| pdf_dude | ye | 03:59 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:yes! i can find it in my ubuntu~ but so what? | 03:59 |
| bgilb | anyone ever had graphic artifact problems using VMWare and Ktorrent? | 04:00 |
| Scunizi | pdf_dude: drobole although you can do an alias in ./bashrc it's easier to separate your person commands by putting them in ./bash_aliases | 04:00 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, then you can link your code with the kernel symbols | 04:00 |
| bgilb | here is a screenshot with vmware open: http://i.imgur.com/T8ogi.jpg | 04:00 |
| pdf_dude | great rm -i :) | 04:00 |
| bgilb | boxes like that will show up with shadowing | 04:00 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, here is a small hello module demo http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-module.html | 04:00 |
| bgilb | the box is not interactive at all | 04:00 |
| Kalmic | pdf_dude: in .bashrc in your home directory you can add an alias; "alias rm='rm -i' | 04:01 |
| pdf_dude | yes Kalmic | 04:01 |
| drobole | pdf_dude: alias rm='rm -i' | 04:01 |
| Kalmic | Ah, I was too late. | 04:01 |
| pdf_dude | :D | 04:01 |
| Iatagore | I can ssh into two of my computers to each other on the network, but they don't appear on the Network window in the Places menu | 04:01 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:aren't they just some linkers,not the kernel objects? | 04:01 |
| bgilb | anyone have any ideas where i could start? | 04:01 |
| bgilb | maybe caused by compiz? | 04:01 |
| keith27 | i need to convert avi to flv | 04:02 |
| webs05 | anyone got time to help out a noob? I need to get a zimage into an Ubuntu.img file? I have searched around and so far running into walls | 04:02 |
| pdf_dude | i dont think it's working | 04:02 |
| pdf_dude | ! | 04:02 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:it seems that are just some .h files, not the .o files~ | 04:02 |
| Scunizi | bgilb: samba, nfs, etc.. you don't have the sharing potocols installed | 04:03 |
| Kalmic | pdf_dude: if you put it in the .bashrc file you have to run the source .bashrc command. | 04:03 |
| pdf_dude | isn't alias rm='rm -i $1' | 04:03 |
| drobole | pdf_dude: you need to restyart the shell after editing .bashrc | 04:03 |
| keith27 | or i need web script for streaming avi | 04:03 |
| pdf_dude | drobole: restart terminal? | 04:03 |
| drobole | yes | 04:03 |
| pdf_dude | I did. | 04:03 |
| drobole | and not $1 | 04:04 |
| pdf_dude | yes and not $1 | 04:04 |
| drobole | just rm='rm -i' | 04:04 |
| pdf_dude | k | 04:04 |
| drobole | hmm | 04:04 |
| kieppie | hi guys. I'm looking for details on kernel versions: server, generic, virtual, preempt. where an I find details & differences re each? | 04:04 |
| bgilb | can anyone hear me? | 04:04 |
| pdf_dude | yes bgilb | 04:04 |
| drobole | pdf_dude: it should work | 04:04 |
| pdf_dude | drobole: the problem was I restart one bash but another was open :P | 04:04 |
| pdf_dude | now it works | 04:04 |
| drobole | nice | 04:05 |
| bullgard | EtherApe shows that my Maverick computer connects to 192.219.30.200. How can I determine what device is associated with the IP address 192.219.30.200? | 04:05 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:yes~ i can run the hello module, but the book "Linux device drivers" requests me to build the linux kernel tree~~ | 04:05 |
| pdf_dude | bullgard: ifconfig | 04:05 |
| pdf_dude | bullgard: in terminal | 04:05 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, trust me you don't need it intially | 04:06 |
| bullgard | pdf_dude: '~$ ifconfig' does not show " 192.219.30.200". | 04:06 |
| webs05 | anyone have any experience with zimage files? | 04:06 |
| pdf_dude | bullgard: if you are connected it should show like "inet addr:192.168.*.*" | 04:07 |
| ssbpls | sougata_: ok~ i trust you! thanks~ | 04:07 |
| adventure__ | I just installed a new mobo and I can't seem to start x. I get the error messages "[drm] failed to open device" followed by "VESA(0): No valid modes" followed by "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration". How can I debug this? | 04:07 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, and I guess the linking process in Kernel is different than a std C library linker | 04:07 |
| bgilb | does anyone know if ktorrent and vmware use a different UI system or something compared to most applications? | 04:07 |
| Loshki | bullgard: does it show up in the output of 'lsof -i4tcp' ? | 04:08 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, yw | 04:08 |
| Datz | Hi, how do I choose a default text editor on the command line? I tried "sudo update-alternatives --config editor" but the editor that I selected isn't used when I run something like "crontab -e" | 04:08 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:yes! i should make my makefile to the linker to file the files to link them together | 04:09 |
| pdf_dude | Datz: env EDITOR=nano crontab -e | 04:09 |
| Kalmic | Datz: I usually just put an export to the EDITOR variable in my .bashrc file. | 04:09 |
| pdf_dude | :) | 04:09 |
| drobole | adventure__: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-configure-Xorg-in-Ubuntu | 04:09 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, its all there in the book :-), chapter 2 | 04:09 |
| pdf_dude | Kalmic: what do you use? | 04:09 |
| Datz | thanks pdf_dude, Kalmic | 04:09 |

| Wicked | is there a way to find out what compile options a package was compiled with? | 04:09 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:yes, that is it~ | 04:10 |
| Kalmic | pdf_dude: vim. | 04:10 |
| roasted_ | I'm running Ubuntu desktop with DHCP services. How do I change the IP range of the DHCP pool? | 04:10 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:but in the chapter , it seems hard for me . | 04:10 |
| Datz | pdf_dude: I want it by default, I don't want to have to run that command with crontab -e | 04:11 |
| pdf_dude | Kalmic: I meant which variable you use | 04:11 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:but in the chapter 3, it seems hard for me .is there any method to learn it well? | 04:11 |
| Datz | Kalmic: is there a command to set that? | 04:11 |
| Kalmic | pdf_dude: Ah, in .bashrc : export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim | 04:11 |
| sougata_ | ssbpls, read it, re read it. Play with the toy codes | 04:11 |
| Loshki | bullgard: that says it's a tcp connection from firefox running ircd (IRC chat). Are you running chatzilla perhaps? | 04:11 |
| adventure__ | drobole, thanks. none of those solutions work though. also when it says "gdm is configured to help you configure your display when gdm fail to start", what is that supposed to mean? | 04:11 |
| pdf_dude | ok | 04:11 |
| ssbpls | sougata_:en | 04:11 |
| Kalmic | pdf_dude,datz: then after that just run : source .bashrc | 04:12 |
| bullgard | Loshki: Yes I do. | 04:12 |
| pdf_dude | Kalmic: what if the shell in is french or something and I want to set it to english? | 04:12 |
| === Abhijit is now known as Abhijith | ||
| sougata_ | ssbpls, all luck | 04:12 |
| drobole | adventure__: well gdm is the login facility, i guess it means it is smart about helping you to get X configured if it doesnt work | 04:12 |
| ssbpls | sougata_::-D,thanks~ | 04:12 |

| Oooops | hi, does anyone use pamusb here | 04:12 |
| bgilb | Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to start on figuring out what is causing this? | 04:13 |
| drobole | adventure__: are you logged in as root? | 04:13 |
| Datz | Kalmic: something like? env EDITOR=nano crontab -e source .bashrc | 04:13 |
| Kalmic | pdf_dude: That one, I have no clue :( | 04:13 |
| Random832 | it's dead in +1, and i didn't download another livecd to try it with - is alps touchpads not working a known issue? | 04:13 |
| roasted_ | I'm running Ubuntu desktop with DHCP services. How do I change the IP range of the DHCP pool? | 04:13 |
| Oooops | why each user can only use one pamusb device. | 04:13 |
| Loshki | bullgard: then it's probably your end of the chat connection. It should go away if you close chatzilla... | 04:14 |
| pdf_dude | Datz: no you add "export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano" to your ~/.bashrc | 04:14 |
| adventure__ | drobole, no, I don't think this computer is configured with a root login | 04:14 |
| maco | roasted_: i'd ask in #ubuntu-server since you're talking about a dhcp server, even if it's running on something with a gui | 04:14 |
| roasted_ | I did :/ | 04:14 |
| Kalmic | Datz: woah; Nah, just put the 'export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano' then run the command 'source .bashrc' (or restart the terminal) then you can run crontab -e and it should open in nano. | 04:14 |
| bullgard | Loshki: Who owns the address 192.219.30.200? Can the program chatzilla own an IP address? | 04:14 |
| Datz | pdf_dude: ok, sorry I didn't see .bashrc for some treason | 04:14 |
| Datz | reason | 04:14 |
| Datz | Kalmic: great thanks | 04:15 |
| Yadira | i updated my ubuntu and i dont have the sound pannel rythmbox controler,,how can i get it ? | 04:15 |
| adventure__ | bullgard, 192.* is a local ip address | 04:15 |
| pdf_dude | Kalmic: tks :) learned some stuff with u | 04:15 |
| drobole | adventure__: you could look at the xorg.conf file and see what modes and drivers it tries to load | 04:15 |
| Kalmic | pdf_dude: No problem; I'm actually surprised I could answer those. | 04:15 |
| pdf_dude | Kalmic: if i want that to every user I edit /etc/bash.bashrc right? | 04:16 |
| adventure__ | drobole, apparently my xorg.conf file is now empty. let me see if i have a backup | 04:16 |
| bullgard | adventure__: Yes I know. But this is not enough to answer the question: "Who owns the address 192.219.30.200?" | 04:16 |
| kieppie | hi guys. I'm looking for details on kernel versions: server, generic, virtual, preempt. where an I find details & differences re each? | 04:16 |
| Oooops | hi, does anyone use pamusb here. I feel strange that why each user can only use one pamusb device. | 04:16 |
| Kalmic | pdf_dude: I'm actualy not sure what takes precidence in that case. However that seems like it should work. | 04:16 |
| Datz | Kalmic: great that worked. thanks. | 04:16 |
| trollboy | so my machine rebooted by itself 3 times today... usually while screensaver is kicking on.. is there a log somewhere I can check out | 04:17 |
| adventure__ | drobole, yeah, it's empty and i didn't make a backup. I thought that `sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg ` would create a new file from a template. apparently not in ubuntu 10.10 | 04:17 |
| Kalmic | datz: No problem. | 04:17 |
| maco | trollboy: /var/log has many ... i recommend syslog or messages | 04:17 |
| pdf_dude | Kalmic: shell language is in french how can I change it | 04:17 |
| Yadira | how can i install the sound control menu for rythmbox,i updated from 9.4 to 10.4 LTS just because of that feature | 04:17 |

| drobole | ok | 04:19 |
| Kalmic | pdf_dude: You should be able to put that export into .bashrc (or maybe .bash_profile I always forget). | 04:19 |
| adventure__ | drobole, let me type that in | 04:19 |
| kieppie | thanks for the explanaition, Abhijit, & would be great if I didn't know what a kernel was or how to compile one, but that does not answer my question | 04:19 |

| pdf_dude | hi | 04:27 |
| Wingate | for those who have sleep this night | 04:27 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: with 4 primary partitions you've reached the max.. to get more you need to delete one (maybe ext4 if it's large enough) and recreate it as an extended partiiton.. then you can add multiple partitions below that for the install.. ubuntu takes a minimum of 2 partitons to install | 04:27 |

| mechanist | it's a sata1, but listen: when I told "theorically line" I meant if it is possible just to install on my hard drive, not depending on what operations I have to do | 04:37 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: it's a sata1, but listen: when I told "theorically line" I meant if it is possible just to install on my hard drive, not depending on what operations I have to do | 04:38 |
| ruan | Yadira: which features were left behind? | 04:38 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: if it runs in the "live cd" mode then yes.. it should install.. in some instances you need the "alternate" install cd instead of the live cd.. | 04:38 |
| Yadira | MeanEYE, i be ok with the rythmbox on panel and not on indicator | 04:38 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: that is: creating new partitions I really will be able to install, evend having found this issue? | 04:38 |
| Yadira | is not displayng the rythmbox controls on the volume icon on panel | 04:38 |
| MeanEYE | Yadira: if it's only panel things missing, all you need to do is reset panel to its default settings | 04:39 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: should be able to. Is this going to be a dual boot system? | 04:39 |
| Wingate | how can i sign in whit my registered nick ? | 04:39 |
| bullgard | Loshki: Inputting "192.219.30.200" into the address line of my Firefox will show the website of "Aceldama Systems". A rather mysterious enterprise which I certainly did not want to communicate with. | 04:39 |
| MeanEYE | Wingate: on IRC? | 04:39 |
| arlander | if I telnet to default port, connection refused | 04:39 |
| Wingate | yes on IRC | 04:39 |
| Yadira | MeanEYE, but i havnt make any changes | 04:39 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: nope, at the moment. I just need of ubuntu. So the maximum is four partitions?? | 04:39 |
| MeanEYE | Wingate: /msg nickserv help | 04:39 |
| Yadira | MeanEYE, it is as default | 04:39 |
| MeanEYE | Yadira: but those are your settings from previous installation | 04:40 |
| Logan_ | !identify > Wingate | 04:40 |
| ubottu | Wingate, please see my private message | 04:40 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: unless one of the 4 is changed to an extended partition.. which is kindof like a place holder where you can create more partitions within the extended partition | 04:40 |
| Wingate | thank you ubottu :) | 04:40 |
| Yadira | MeanEYE, i see where u coming from,,,how can i refres panel ? | 04:40 |
| sougata_ | Leif, enter about:cache?device=disk in the firefox window , then find *.swf files :-) | 04:40 |
| ruan | Leif: also, flv | 04:41 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: I can create two extended partitions instead of that ext4 one? | 04:41 |
| MeanEYE | Yadira: I don't have the command at hand. Maybe someone else has it... he needs to reset panel settings | 04:41 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: you don't need 2 extended partitions. just one.. then you create 2 partitions within the extended partition.. one ext4 or 3 and the other /swap | 04:42 |
| drtt | I plugged in my external usb sata hd, and it says it found new hardware and is ready to be used... but I cannot seem to find where to open it in "my computer" or anything | 04:42 |
| Leif | subone, ruan Cool, thanks. (I'm currently digging through the cache now...) | 04:42 |
| ActionParsnip | drtt: is that in windows? | 04:42 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: ok, stay tuned, now I try it | 04:42 |
| MeanEYE | drtt: that sounds like windows message :) | 04:42 |
| adam__ | i am still having trouble getting my microphone to work, i am still new to this | 04:43 |
| drtt | haha, yes, but the thing is, it has linux on it | 04:43 |
| drtt | ubuntu | 04:43 |
| Loshki | bullgard: sorry, you've reached the limits of my knowledge about this stuff... | 04:43 |
| Yadira | can someone be kind and tell me the panel refresh command | 04:43 |
| ayaka | I try to install nvidia driver(run file),but it need source file,I have unpack it,I tell run file,but still erro | 04:43 |
| drtt | and windows wont read it | 04:43 |
| MasterU | anyone using natty? | 04:43 |
| MeanEYE | drtt: windows doesn't support ext partitions | 04:43 |
| drtt | I want to totally format this hd | 04:43 |
| MeanEYE | drtt: natively :) | 04:43 |
| ActionParsnip | MasterU: I am but its offtopic here, ask about natty in #ubuntu+1 | 04:43 |
| bullgard | Loshki: Thank you very much for your help. | 04:43 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: lol, the menu has only the primary enabled.... | 04:43 |
| Leif | subone, ruan Thanks, I found what I was looking for. :) | 04:43 |
| MasterU | thanks ActionParsnip | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | drtt: windows is too native and cannot read or write ext4 or ext3. with software it can read ext2 | 04:44 |
| MeanEYE | drtt: in Control Panel -> Administration -> Computer Management there's a drive manager or something like that... from there you can format that drive | 04:44 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: you have to delete the ext4 partition. apply it and then recreate it as extended | 04:44 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: maybe I can make 20 gigas primary and other 20 extended? | 04:44 |
| Loshki | bullgard: You're welcome. You always ask really interesting questions. | 04:44 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: out of the ext4 partition? | 04:44 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: I've already trid it | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | drtt: if you want to format it then its a windows support issue and you will get help in ##windows | 04:44 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: yeah | 04:44 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: but only primary is enabled | 04:45 |
| sk | how do I install the latest development releases for programs like wine and vlc? Is there a way to do this automatically through the Update Manager? | 04:45 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: no.. because if it's 40 gigs and you try to split it into 20 primary and 20 extended then you're maxed with 4 primary partitions and it won't create an extended | 04:45 |
| MeanEYE | sk: one way is to compile the source, other is to get development ppa | 04:45 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: let's see | 04:45 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: delete the ext4 partition and make the whole thing extended | 04:46 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: I've already tried to do it, that's what I'm trying to tell you | 04:46 |
| abstrakt | how do I check the postfix syslog on ubuntu? | 04:46 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: but the Gparted's menu enables only primary | 04:46 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: that's strange.. hang on | 04:46 |
| MeanEYE | abstrakt: all logs should be located in /var/log | 04:47 |
| abstrakt | MeanEYE, postfix logs to "syslog" apparently | 04:47 |
| roasted_ | I havent a 2nd PCI network card in my Ubuntu box, but ifconfig only shows LO and ETH0. Hmmmm????????? | 04:47 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: trying to create two partitions | 04:47 |
| abstrakt | MeanEYE, I was told to use grep -i `postconf -h syslog_facility` /etc/syslog.conf | 04:47 |
| abstrakt | but there is no /etc/syslog.conf | 04:47 |
| sk | MeanEYE: thank you! | 04:48 |
| pootietang | sup peeps! | 04:48 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: run: sudo lshw -C network you wil see the chip, websearch for guides based on the nonfunctioning chip. It's not working as the default install doesn't have the driver for the chip. It's that simple. | 04:48 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: funny as hell: both the partitions were created | 04:48 |
| arlander | anyone: windows telnet server is no running, is there any way to connect via rpc, I just want to view one of the files on windows server, I have administrator account but no gnome/kde for remote desktop | 04:48 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip, well I AM running Edubuntu as a DHCP server so I just wanted to check and see. | 04:48 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: perhaps one of your other partitions is "extended" | 04:49 |
| MeanEYE | abstrakt: do you have /var/log/mail.log ? | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | arlander: use rdesktop if remote logon is enabled | 04:49 |
| sikilpaake | how do i associate a .sh file with the terminal? | 04:49 |
| MeanEYE | pootietang: :D nuthin | 04:49 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: and see what? | 04:49 |
| mechanist | nope | 04:49 |
| arlander | but no gnoome/kde environment, its pure command line, will rdesktop work ? | 04:49 |
| roasted_ | if it would work. I wasnt sure if edubuntu locks out additional cards by default or hwat | 04:49 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip, ^ | 04:49 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: nope, both here results primary... O_o | 04:49 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: something is fishy here. | 04:50 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: ok, both partitions, ext4 and swap, created. now I see if the installtion works | 04:50 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: LOL, I think it too. | 04:50 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: maybe not out of the box, but there may be drivers and you can certainly use ndiswrapper if necessary | 04:50 |
| MeanEYE | arlander: why not ssh in that case? am not sure if rdesktop will work | 04:50 |
| Scunizi | arlander: there is no desktop :) .. ssh will work | 04:50 |
| arlander | but there is no ssh server running on windwos, I want to access windows command prompt from ubuntu | 04:51 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: nothing, the installation program doesn't see my hard disk | 04:51 |
| Scunizi | arlander: and no gui on ubuntu? | 04:51 |
| MeanEYE | arlander: ooh, that... hm, then you'll need some desktop environment in order to use remote desktop application, or setup ssh on windows if you can | 04:52 |
| ceo | you | 04:52 |
| mechanist | i'm going mad | 04:52 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip, I have another PCI LAN card here of a different brand. trying that quick. | 04:52 |
| ceo | any body need help please pm me kekeke | 04:52 |
| MeanEYE | ceo: ask :D | 04:52 |
| sougata_ | sikilpaake, what is that you exactly want | 04:52 |
| arlander | nopes, it's server, and I havent installed any desktop environ | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: you can make sub interfaces you know | 04:52 |
| ceo | kekekek MeanEYE thanks no ask on this day | 04:52 |
| Scunizi | mechanist: sorry I don't have any other answers for you.. perhaps someone else will chime in. | 04:52 |

| sikilpaake | sougata_: double click a script.sh file and have it run the script | 04:52 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: you can have one interfaces with 2 IP addresses | 04:52 |
| mechanist | Scunizi: ok, thank you anyway | 04:52 |
| sikilpaake | sougata_: thanks for helping me out | 04:53 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip, look at you being a genius. eth2 is here now. | 04:53 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip, lol really? | 04:53 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip, hows that work | 04:53 |
| MeanEYE | arlander: do you have access to windows machine? | 04:53 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: its a software thing. You can do it in Cisco switches too | 04:53 |
| MeanEYE | ceo: lol sorry, I thought you needed help :P | 04:53 |
| arlander | MeanEYE: I cant access windows machine directly, ubuntu server is the only way, actually I am working remotely, and I have only access to ubuntu ssh | 04:53 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: you'd have eth0.0 and eth0.1 | 04:53 |
| ceo | MeanEYE, can i h elp you | 04:54 |
| ActionParsnip | roasted_: obviously it makes the port get used more so goes slower | 04:54 |
| MeanEYE | arlander: which services does windows machine has installed | 04:54 |
| MeanEYE | ceo: nope, thank you :D am good | 04:54 |
| ceo | MeanEYE, what you prblem | 04:54 |
| roasted_ | ActionParsnip, this is in the network interface file right | 04:54 |
| ceo | oke MeanEYE welcome | 04:54 |
| ceo | :) | 04:54 |

| roasted_ | ActionParsnip, if I want the sub interface to be DHCP, what do I do when I need to assign it an IP? | 04:56 |
| ceo | ActionParsnip, what up my bro | 04:56 |
| ceo | :) | 04:56 |
| MeanEYE | arlander: one thing that comes to mind is to create ssh tunnel for remote desktop and then connect from some machine that actually has graphical environment | 04:56 |
| arlander | MeanEYE: might work | 04:57 |
| tkooda | what package version should I use if I want to produce a patched version of say "3.2-0ubuntu18"? -I'm trying to append stuff like "3.2-0ubuntu18.me1" and "3.2-0ubuntu18~me1" but neither the ".me1" or "~me1" seem to take preceidence over the absence of chars after the original "3.2-0ubuntu18". -any ideas? | 04:57 |
| mikeru | Where is vmlinuz on a USB startup disk? | 04:58 |

| kieppie1 | !linux-virtual | 05:08 |
| sao-viking | no but i can hack a wap network | 05:08 |
| sougata_ | sikilpaake, if you want to ensure that your shell script is being called add a " read xyz " in the last line , to ensure its working | 05:08 |

| sgl1022 | 不能 | 05:08 |

| sougata_ | sikilpaake, for debug purpose, and remove it later | 05:09 |
| sikilpaake | i'm going to try to associate it with "xterm" instead of "terminal".. | 05:09 |
| sacarlson | mikeru: the disk is already in lvm2 format? | 05:09 |
| sikilpaake | sougata_: good idea | 05:09 |
| mikeru | sacarlson: Yeah | 05:09 |

| mikeru | For some reason on read only media i can install lvm2 even if temporarily yet on a usb rw i cant | 05:11 |
| sacarlson | mikeru: but I think you can install the needed packages on that live session to do the job, I'll find the packages | 05:11 |
| sao-viking | use a little program called | 05:11 |
| mikeru | sacarlson: I know the packages. They wont install because vmlinuz is not accessible from usb | 05:11 |
| mikeru | Yet they are on the CD | 05:12 |
| exxtreme | theprototype..install ubuntu AND grub to your external partition | 05:12 |
| sacarlson | mikeru: ok try the alternate adition then | 05:12 |
| mikeru | sacarlson: Im using the desktop one | 05:12 |

| jordan__ | hi, need help with installing an antivirus for ubuntu | 05:16 |
| rww | !virus | 05:16 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 05:16 |
| jordan__ | tried clamav but i guess im not doing it right | 05:16 |
| pdf_dude | clamtk | 05:16 |
| pdf_dude | ? | 05:16 |
| kieppie1 | ubottu: BS | 05:16 |
| mikeru | sacarlson: Are you not reading or are you trolling me? I've already told you I have done it before on the CD | 05:16 |
| exxtreme | clamscan is the executable: console: clamscan --help | 05:16 |
| jordan__ | i looked in the repository for clamtk but didnt see it | 05:16 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: what do you mean with "im not doing it right" | 05:17 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: you need to download it | 05:17 |
| pdf_dude | w8 | 05:17 |
| mikeru | I was trying to do it on the USB, and it doesn't work as vmlinuz is I don't know where | 05:17 |
| jordan__ | pdf_dude, i mean that i prob did not install it correctly | 05:17 |
| sacarlson | mikeru: and this line sudo apt-get install lvm2 gives you that error? | 05:17 |
| mikeru | sacarlson: Cant stat /vmlinuz | 05:18 |
| drobole | pdf_dude: lsmod | 05:18 |
| jordan__ | pdf_dude, such as in the manor offfffff....... | 05:18 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamtk/files/ClamTk/4.31/clamtk_4.31-1_all.deb/download | 05:18 |
| mikeru | And its not on /boot | 05:18 |

| trick | pdf_dude: i would like to use chrome, but (1) flash video playback is busted -- all the colors are red (2) flash video playback is more choppy than in firefox | 05:25 |
| trick | pdf_dude: if you can tell me how to fix those problems, i'd stick with chrome | 05:25 |

| pdf_dude | trick: maybe ur problem is flash you should uninstall it | 05:27 |
| z0rk | cool, thanks. | 05:27 |
| trick | pdf_dude: lol portugal | 05:27 |
| MeanEYE | trick: in about:flash there are some options that might help with performance... but other than that, flash is just bad software, nothing to do with google | 05:27 |

| trick | hey guys, how come everytime i plug in my headphones my 'speaker' volume goes to zero, so that when i unplug my headphones i hvae to always make the speaker volume louder again? | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: trick: can also add: http://pastie.org/1650225 to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:31 |
| MikeChelen | trick: are they usb headphones? | 05:31 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: sudo apt-get install clamav | 05:31 |
| trick | MikeChelen: no michael, they are not | 05:31 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: then install clamtk | 05:31 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: thanks :)... but I don't want to cripple my OS just so I could fix adobes problems. :) Am not that dependant on flash. | 05:31 |
| italic | what an unsearchable name for a program | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | trick: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 05:31 |
| MikeChelen | trick: hmm then idk D: | 05:31 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: its not crippling it | 05:32 |
| MikeChelen | trick: check the advanced controls and see if any devices are getting switched around? | 05:32 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: I know, just saying... I don't want to do anything to fix problems they are suppose to | 05:32 |
| jordan__ | pdf_dude, "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 05:32 |
| jordan__ | " | 05:32 |
| MikeChelen | trick: did you install jack or make any other sound changes | 05:32 |
| paranoiak | i have problems with my microfone, the microfone is built-in my webcam its microsoft lifecam vx-1000. the webcam works fine, but why not the microphone?? i have chosed the webcam as the microphone, and its not muted or anything... | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: fair point, that is different though :D | 05:32 |
| ActionParsnip | trick: select to upload to the site and provide the red url here | 05:33 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: close ubuntu software window | 05:34 |
| MikeChelen | paranoiak: adjust input volume? | 05:34 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: :)... I did a lot of flash programming some time ago. One time I saw drawing of simple circle took a huge chunk of my CPU. I thought I made a mistake somewhere. Turns out, Adobe just doesn't care about Linux users. Same Flash worked on windows on slower maching with far less CPU usage. | 05:34 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: and synaptic if you have it opened | 05:34 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install clamav | 05:34 |
| pdf_dude | then install clamtk | 05:34 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: theres lightspark too :) | 05:34 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: that day I swore never to touch that stuff again... | 05:35 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: runs ok here but my OS is teaked to the hills | 05:35 |
| paranoiak | MikeChelen: i have done that, thats what i meant about "its not muted" | 05:35 |
| jordan__ | pdf_dude, the first cmd ran fine but got this when installing clamtk "E: Unable to locate package clamtk" | 05:36 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: runs ok here as well... I use it to watch anime here and there and youtube mostly playes html5 :) so am good | 05:36 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: it's not clamtk it's clamav | 05:36 |
| MikeChelen | paranoiak: there is no movement on "input level" even with "input volume" set to max? | 05:36 |
| trick | which is better chrome or chromium? | 05:36 |
| paranoiak | nope... | 05:36 |
| MikeChelen | !better | trick | 05:36 |
| ubottu | trick: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 05:36 |
| jordan__ | pdf_dude, i loked at one of ur replys from a while ago my bad | 05:36 |
| paranoiak | MikeChelen: not moving at all | 05:36 |
| MikeChelen | trick: better for what? | 05:36 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install clamav | 05:36 |
| MeanEYE | trick: chrome is based on chromium, difference is, chrome has propriatary plugins and stuff | 05:36 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: could use minitube, don't need flash for that | 05:37 |
| MikeChelen | paranoiak: tested the webcam on other comps? | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | trick: chromium also has fewer tracking stuffs in | 05:37 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: you know, I tried that... but somehow that thing always fail to play videos. :/ | 05:37 |
| pdf_dude | wow radio tray program is great | 05:37 |
| pdf_dude | :) | 05:37 |
| trick | MikeChelen: ubottu seems like a bit of a dick, just regurgitating meaningless platitudes as if they were insightful or interesting | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: dang | 05:37 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: weird thing is, different machines, different versions, different os versions... and never managed to play it :D | 05:38 |
| JdGordon | what do i need to fiddle with to get both my eth devices to show up? only eth0 is being found? | 05:38 |
| regeya | ubottu almost seems like some sort of drone, or a robot | 05:38 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:38 |
| paranoiak | MikeChelen: yes even talked with it on a windows machine earlier today, so i know its not broken, and the webcam works on here too, just not the microphone | 05:38 |
| JdGordon | dmesg clearly shows both though | 05:38 |
| MikeChelen | trick: the same type of questions get asked repeatedly, and there is no way to answer | 05:38 |
| MeanEYE | JdGordon: ifconfig -a, your device might not be activated | 05:38 |
| jordan__ | pdf_dude, cool its unpacking some mess right now | 05:38 |
| MikeChelen | paranoiak: do other mics work ok? | 05:38 |
| MeanEYE | JdGordon: if it's listed there... then ifconfig eth1 up (for example) | 05:39 |
| trick | MikeChelen: sure, there's HEAPS of criteria upon which to make a judgement, namely in the same sense you judge internet explorer versus firefox versus chrome. Magazines do these kind of comparisons all the time, and tehy are far from meaningless | 05:39 |
| jordan__ | pdf_dude, k its done | 05:39 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: it's downloading the packages and then it extracts and install it | 05:39 |
| paranoiak | MikeChelen: i dont have other microphones..... | 05:39 |
| pdf_dude | jordan__: now open clamtk.deb | 05:39 |
| pdf_dude | in software center | 05:39 |
| JdGordon | MeanEYE: ok thanks... as soon as gnome starts responding again i'll try it | 05:39 |
| trick | MikeChelen: so dont feed me that 'everything is equal' and 'there's no way to judge' bs, it's nothing than cliche | 05:39 |
| jordan__ | pdf_dude, clamtk.deb: command not found | 05:39 |
| MeanEYE | JdGordon: lol, np :D | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | pdf_dude: theres a ppa for latest clamav defs and engine | 05:39 |
| jordan__ | whats a ppa | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | 05:40 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. | 05:40 |
| JdGordon | MeanEYE: if that does fix it, how do i get that to work on boot? | 05:40 |
| MikeChelen | trick: let us know what you are looking for and then we can make a better recommendation | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | jordan__: its a 3rd party repo, often they have later versions than the ubuntu repos | 05:41 |
| trick | MikeChelen: im like everyone else here, im just trying to organize domestic family life for myself, before i trip over an ant hill and fall down to the ground and to my grave | 05:41 |
| MikeChelen | paranoiak: you might want to check into pulseaudio or alsa troubleshooting depending what is installed on your system | 05:41 |

| MikeChelen | trick: haha! | 05:41 |
| jordan__ | pdf_dude, gotcha, i entered just clamtk and it said it wasnt installed so i did the cmd to install it | 05:41 |
| jordan__ | apt-get install clamtk | 05:42 |
| MeanEYE | JdGordon: you can edit /etc/network/interfaces file but you should just use network manager if you have gnome installed | 05:42 |
| JdGordon | MeanEYE: ah dammit... ifconfig -a was enough... i was trying to bring up the wrong device name :/ | 05:42 |
| ActionParsnip | jordan__: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade will give you the latest clamav with defs and engine | 05:42 |
| MeanEYE | JdGordon: glad you solved it :D | 05:42 |
| * JdGordon feels silly | 05:42 | |
| JdGordon | thanks | 05:42 |
| MeanEYE | JdGordon: no problemo :)... happy to help | 05:42 |
| jordan__ | pdf_dude, can i enter all of that on one line | 05:43 |
| jordan__ | or sep | 05:43 |
| MikeChelen | trick: we can all discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic :D | 05:43 |

| Peddy | paranoiak, that's good. Could you also paste the 10 lines above where you started copying? | 05:59 |
| trick | ActionParsnip: it puts the lotion on its skin | 05:59 |
| Fish__ | Peddy: that sounds like alot of work that i don't know how to do but i'll take the small inconvenience for some occasional help | 05:59 |
| Fish__ | Peddy: thanks anyway | 05:59 |
| Peddy | Fish__, alrighty. just for knowledge, .xchat is a folder in your home directory that holds xchat configuration settings | 06:00 |

| \share | hello all | 06:00 |
| jordan__ | hey, is pdf dude unbooted yet, aka, is he able to return yet | 06:00 |
| pcypher | can someone please assist with an apache permissions issue? | 06:01 |
| Peddy | paranoiak, hmm. it seems to be loading the gspca driver OK, which is what I'm using too. I assume you've installed all updates? | 06:01 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: lately no.. | 06:01 |
| sacarlson | pcypher: that should be easy enuf | 06:01 |
| MikeChelen | pcypher: try #httpd ? | 06:01 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: should i install updates after i plugged in the webcam? | 06:01 |
| pcypher | MikeChelen: I did... silent room | 06:02 |
| Tanvir | MikeChelen, can you help please? | 06:02 |
| MikeChelen | !repeat | Tanvir | 06:02 |
| ubottu | Tanvir: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 06:02 |
| Peddy | paranoiak, it's worth a try. Are you on 10.10? | 06:02 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: searching if there is any new drivers now | 06:02 |
| pcypher | sacarlson: i cannot access any page after copying over a site I backed up | 06:02 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: yes, 10.10 | 06:02 |
| MeanEYE | anyone has experience with MiniTube? | 06:02 |
| pcypher | sacarlson: i just rsynced the site to a remote drive and now cannot access any page | 06:03 |
| MikeChelen | pcypher: try to explain your question here and maybe some will know. also might try #ubuntu-server | 06:03 |
| pcypher | MikeChelen: Thank you. | 06:03 |
| sacarlson | pcypher: ok maybe you need to look at who owns the file and change them and the permisions with chown and chmod man those | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: tiny bit | 06:03 |
| Peddy | paranoiak, are you used to working in the terminal? | 06:03 |
| Fish__ | Peddy: and is there a way to get a custom server to work on empathy? | 06:03 |
| smbhelp | If I have Samba 3.5.6 running on one machine and smbclient on another machine, shouldn't they be able to talk to each other and see the shares if the "security = SHARE" is set on the smb server? When I open Places>Network>Workgroup I don't see anything (and the workgroup name is correct). But from my Windows machines I can see the share and access it. | 06:03 |
| pcypher | sacarlson: the user name with ls -l is the same as it was before... maybe a uid issue? | 06:03 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: just searched for new drivers, and updates, was nothing there | 06:03 |
| sacarlson | pcypher: to see who own's them you can use ls -l | 06:03 |
| MikeChelen | pcypher: yeah what sacarlson says sounds right | 06:04 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: it won't play selected video but, running it from console, I get Phonon error: "Cannot find demultiplexer plugin for MRL [file:///tmp/minitube-meaneye.mp4]" 2 | 06:04 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: no, i am not used to linux at all, have just tried it a little before, some years ago, just made fresh install on this computer today | 06:04 |
| Tanvir | MikeChelen, thanks! | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: minitube 1.4 is out but maverick repo only has 1.1 let me find a repo | 06:04 |
| sacarlson | pcypher: well what is the username then, and does that user exist on this new system? | 06:04 |
| pcypher | sacarlson: yes... the user does exist | 06:05 |
| sacarlson | pcypher: if not you can create the missing user or change the user of all the files to one that does exist | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/minitube; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade | 06:05 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: hah, works now :) needed to remove sudo apt-get remove phonon-backend-xine | 06:05 |
| Peddy | paranoiak, unfortunately webcams are still quite difficult to get working (but it's improving!) on some machines. | 06:05 |
| Peddy | paranoiak, I've read up on it, and it seems that "the video and audio don't work at the same time because the video is opened before the audio and it takes all the USB bandwidth." | 06:06 |
| sacarlson | pcypher: ok the user exists and what is the code for permisions on all or most of the files or the ones that can't be reached? | 06:06 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: but strange it works for u then and u have the same webcam | 06:06 |
| sacarlson | pcypher: one other thing is if you put the files physicaly on a partition outside the apparrmor location that you have apache2 set at | 06:07 |
| Peddy | paranoiak, the mic works and video works, but not at the same time :/ it's the Lifecam thing, right | 06:07 |
| pcypher | sacarlson: this is the skinny... I set up lamp on my primary box... had cacti nagios, the whole 9. Then I tried learning backups and crons. Backed up the entire /var/www using rsync. DBAN'd the box, reimaged. then got 10.10 back up and running. then got virtualbox up, installed a 10.4 lts server set up lamp | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: can you log a bug with 1.1 saying the 1.4 fixed it and it may get included :) | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: in the default repos that is | 06:07 |
| pcypher | then I rsynced the backups to /var/www on the vm | 06:07 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: I did upgrade :)... didn't want to ask questions before I did that... I just needed to remove phonon xine package :D | 06:08 |
| pcypher | before copying over any files... lamp worked... | 06:08 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: yeah but my webcam is not using right now.. so shouldent audio work then? but i am getting no movement at the input adjustment? | 06:08 |
| pcypher | after the copy,not at all | 06:08 |
| Fish__ | can someone help me with the irc function of empathy? | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: oic, ok log that so people know | 06:09 |
| sacarlson | pcypher: so you put the right back to /var/www or did you just create a symbolic link to where you have the files? if so is that in the apparmor location? | 06:09 |
| Peddy | paranoiak, I have no idea. We could try compiling the latest GSPCA from source code, if you're up to it | 06:10 |
| MeanEYE | ActionParsnip: sudo apt-get remove phonon-backend-xine :) | 06:10 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: sure | 06:11 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: but i dont know what that is, GSPCA | 06:11 |
| pcypher | ok... I think I might know whats going on here... | 06:11 |
| pcypher | gimme a sec | 06:11 |
| Peddy | paranoiak, it's the "driver" for your webcam. Please download this to your desktop: http://moinejf.free.fr/gspca-2.12.18.tar.gz | 06:11 |
| sacarlson | pcypher: what does your apache2 configs point to? and if /var/www then what does this look like ls -l -d /var/www | 06:12 |
| gewald | test msg | 06:12 |
| pcypher | one sec... I work in a noc and shit is blowing up | 06:12 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: done | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: log a bug and it lets the devs and such know | 06:13 |
| MeanEYE | they already know | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | MeanEYE: cool | 06:13 |
| Peddy | paranoiak, OK, just for the record, how experienced are you with command line? can you navigate around places? extract tars? | 06:14 |
| paranoiak | Peddy: no never done it before | 06:14 |
| djdojos | after i do adduser name and it creates a another user group how do i use the new user group i created? | 06:14 |
| Peddy | paranoiak, that's cool - let's PM. | 06:15 |
| marekw2143 | hello, is there any good organiser for ubuntu? | 06:15 |
| sikilpaake | marekw2143: what do you mean by "organizer"? | 06:15 |
| marekw2143 | sikilpaake: a tool that will play some sound, when the lessons are soon :) | 06:16 |
| sikilpaake | marekw2143: hmm | 06:16 |
| MeanEYE | marekw2143: evolution has nice oranizer stuff, also google calendar is good (if you don't mind using it) | 06:16 |
| marekw2143 | MeanEYE: I'd like to have offline tool | 06:17 |
| sikilpaake | marekw2143: i use "tasque", but it only has "alarms" for each day, not set for specific hours | 06:17 |
| marekw2143 | and would like not to use google if possible :) | 06:17 |
| === zeleftikaX is now known as zeleftikam | ||
| marekw2143 | so I see that using evolution or tunderbird would be required then | 06:18 |
| MeanEYE | marekw2143: evolution will notify eve if it's not running | 06:18 |
| MeanEYE | even* | 06:19 |
| sacarlson | marekw2143: I'm not sure what you want but you can setup a cron event that will run play /path/to/your/sound/file.mp3 | 06:19 |
| djdojos | after i do adduser name and it creates a another user group how do i use the new user group i created? | 06:19 |
| iCoding | hello there, I need help. I wanna custom my ubuntu installation, where can i get documents about "how the installation works"? | 06:20 |
| marekw2143 | sacarlson: hehe, that's possible, but I'd like to make live easier and not harder | 06:20 |
| marekw2143 | sacarlson: and to see graphically plan of a day | 06:21 |
| sacarlson | marekw2143: there is a gui to setup cron events gnome-schedule | 06:21 |
| Secret31 | do i need to have additional drivers/ software for an Acer Aspire M1660? | 06:21 |
| Secret31 | i just want to maximize it | 06:21 |
| MeanEYE | marekw2143: evolution will do just fine, you can set sounds as well | 06:21 |
| MeanEYE | but ;D do as you please | 06:21 |
| marekw2143 | and is evolution comparable to thunderbird in terms of e-mail managing? | 06:22 |
| === Sosby is now known as eXXe | ||
| sacarlson | marekw2143: oh ya that thing at the top has my scheduals but it won't make sounds or I should say I don't know how to make that happen | 06:22 |
| gewald | The main menu button that was in the lower left corner of my screen is gone. I'm brand new with Ubuntu and don't know what's going on. How do I get it back? Do I have to do a whole new install? | 06:22 |
| MeanEYE | marekw2143: email, yes, but thunderbird doesn't have running services in ubuntu | 06:22 |
| marekw2143 | may be a silly question, but is evolution "secure application"? | 06:23 |
| MeanEYE | marekw2143: secure in what sense? it does support ssl and other encryption methods | 06:23 |
| m00nshine | ping | 06:23 |
| sikilpaake | pong | 06:24 |
| marekw2143 | MeanEYE: in sense that it's easy to steal emails from that application easier than from thunderbird or other very popular email client | 06:24 |
| eoss | how do i see whos tried connecting to my router? | 06:24 |
| m00nshine | bleep bleep | 06:24 |
| eoss | is there some log that shows who try connecting to me>? | 06:24 |
| MeanEYE | marekw2143: then every application is not secure :)... since everything can be "stolen" if someone has your computer. On the bright side Ubuntu 10.10 supports encyption of home directory so even if someone gets your computer your data is safe. :) | 06:25 |
| marekw2143 | nono, protecting data on a hard drive is not a task of email client | 06:26 |
| tripelbb | My new phone LG 900g is not showing on my old computer Ub10.04 I plug it in USB and the phone sees a USB Connection and asks me if I want Mass Storage or Data Connection. I choose Mass Storage and the screen says Connected but nothing new is in the Computer window in Places. (The other choice is Data Connection. Then the Screen goes back to the neutral screen on the phone.) I am stumped. I want to get some pictures off this phone. T | 06:26 |
| tripelbb | here is no microSD card in the slot and never has been. -Where do I go from here. | 06:26 |

| pcypher | ok... | 06:27 |
| pcypher | so it was way more simple then I thought. | 06:27 |
| djdojos | after i do adduser name and it creates a another user group how do i use the new user group i created? | 06:27 |
| MeanEYE | marekw2143: evolution supports ssl/tsl with mail servers. so transfering can be encrypted | 06:27 |
| pcypher | i just needed to chown to www-data | 06:27 |
| pcypher | thats the quick fix.. | 06:27 |
| MeanEYE | marekw2143: other than that I don't know what you mean | 06:27 |
| marekw2143 | MeanEYE: I guess that's everyhing :) | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelbb: when you last removed it from a PC, what steps did you take? | 06:27 |
| pcypher | the real fix is to create a group with www-data and my account where they both have access to /var/www | 06:27 |
| marekw2143 | MeanEYE, sacarlson : thanks for help :) | 06:28 |
| MeanEYE | marekw2143: np... :) | 06:28 |
| marekw2143 | sikilpaake: thanks too :) | 06:28 |
| tripelbb | ActionParsnip, this was the first time I ever connected it. Each time before I disconnected it I pressed Cancel which was my only choice. | 06:28 |
| sikilpaake | marekw2143: sure thing | 06:28 |
| pcypher | thank you all for your help yet again | 06:29 |

| djdojos | after i do the "adduser name" command, how come when i do "su name" it says its an unknown id? | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelbb: if you run: sudo fdisk -l do you see any partitions which are not on your system drive? | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | djdojos: run: sudo passwd name to set the password too | 06:30 |
| djdojos | ActionParsnip: it says user doesnt exist. but then when i do "adduser name" it says its already been created. | 06:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !adduser | 06:31 |

| Canid | I don't think it's using the black cartridge at all. | 06:50 |
| Canid | What do I do? | 06:50 |

| sacarlson | piercedwater: I'm not sure, as far as I know a fuse file system as long as the permisions are setup correctly should be readable by anything, maybe the symbolic link is outside the apparmor settings? | 07:38 |
| nishant | do something like ls -lrt in /dev/ directory and that might show the device file for the USB ....mount it to the filesystem tripelb | 07:38 |
| Slart | tripelbb: hmm.. sounds like you're doing the right thing there.. I get something similar with my samsung and when I choose "mass storage" I get a couple of new drives that show up in ubuntu.. just like a regular usb stick or external hard drive | 07:38 |

| Slart | livcd_: compatible with what? x86? each other? | 07:41 |
| livcd_ | Slart each other | 07:42 |
| nishant | ls -lrt lists the latest files i /dev/ directory which would be your USB device file most likely . You can just try mounting that device file Manually ....assuming the plug n play is not working for some reason . | 07:42 |
| getyourtowel | You either set it in the GUI or in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:42 |
| getyourtowel | Whatever canonical calls synaptic these days | 07:42 |
| nishant | So lets say check for files created right after you plugged the LG Phone .... and that should be the device file for the LG phone ! | 07:42 |

| Slart | tripelbb: I would start with the one-liner on page 2 first.. the one with "old_scheme_first" | 07:51 |
| livcd_ | U want view pics in ascii ? | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | natrixnatrix89: well, i'm only one of several million users and you only tried one solution, so do you seriously think that's it? | 07:51 |
| coz_ | maxagaz, well imagemagic has a display command | 07:51 |
| Slart | maxagaz: you could perhaps use a framebuffer.. I've never tried it myself but I think those exist | 07:51 |
| coz_ | maxagaz, example would be display nameof.png | 07:52 |
| Slart | maxagaz: I mean.. framebuffer exists.. and I'm pretty sure there are imageviewers for it.. | 07:52 |
| maxagaz | coz_: imagemagick would be great then | 07:52 |
| natrixnatrix89 | ActionParsnip: just found i had forgotten to uncomment GRUB_GFXMODE=1440x900 in grub | 07:52 |
| Benkinooby | !benchmark | 07:52 |
| coz_ | maxagaz, also you could try as an example eog nameof.png | 07:53 |
| ActionParsnip | natrixnatrix89: using all of a guide helps huh :-) | 07:53 |
| natrixnatrix89 | lets reboot and find out.. | 07:53 |

| Slart | tripelbb: which command did you run? echo Y | sudo tee /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first ? | 07:54 |
| Wauraudon | hi | 07:54 |
| tripelbb | slart sudo echo Y > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first | 07:54 |
| maxagaz | coz_: actually, I need to download an image, display it, redownload it, refresh display, etc... | 07:54 |
| tripelbb | slart no I did a different | 07:54 |
| Slart | tripelbb: read post #12 =) | 07:55 |
| maxagaz | coz_: display should be in full screen, so that I would get something like a movie | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelbb: that command won't work as you expect | 07:55 |
| tripelbb | ActionParsnip I dont expect? I dont understand. | 07:56 |
| fez | alright thx for the tips | 07:56 |
| fez | I will assume it's a temporary issue with the repo | 07:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelbb: sudo won't go over the > | 07:56 |
| tripelbb | slart ActionParsnip It just echoed Y | 07:56 |
| Slart | tripelbb: hmm.. it shouldn't output anything.. you ran the entire command? | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelbb: have you got a root prompt? | 07:57 |
| livcd_ | Anyone interested into porting pax to ubuntu \o/ | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Slart: echo like that goes to file and screen | 07:58 |

| ActionParsnip | tripelbb: yeah you piped to sudo tee which works | 07:59 |
| tripelbb | ActionParsnip, that should answer you BUT I dont knwo what a "root prompt" is | 07:59 |
| Slart | ActionParsnip: ahh.. it indeed does.. didn't know that. Thanks | 07:59 |

| sugoruyo | hi folks, i have a quick question to ask you: when you do an 'apt-cache show <pkg>' you get some output with the package's metadata. i'd like to find some more detailed explanation of that information, does anyone know of any good 'official' doc from ubuntu or debian regarding that stuff? | 08:11 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | oliver_, :i did that,no change,what happen when i type those commands? | 08:11 |
| recognosco | sugoruyo: about the package or the software? | 08:12 |
| sugoruyo | recognosco: about the packages' metadata | 08:12 |
| guest123456 | hi all | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | sugoruyo: the top lines are the name and installed versions. The list below are what versions are available and on what server | 08:13 |
| guest123456 | i'm trying to start ubuntu 10.10 on my PC... but it won't start | 08:13 |
| elFidel | guest123456: won't start means in detail? | 08:14 |
| sugoruyo | recognosco: what i want to know is what exactly those things mean, e.g. when a package says its priority is optional, or it suggests packages x and y, what exactly do those things mean on a technical level - how does the package manager react to that information?? | 08:14 |
| guest123456 | when I press "try ubuntu without installing" my pc will be restarted | 08:14 |
| ActionParsnip | sugoruyo: why does it need to be official? | 08:14 |
| guest123456 | p4 3.0 ghz northwood, 2 gb ram, mobo: asus P4P800E-Deluxe | 08:14 |
| elFidel | guest123456: so you booted the 10.10 install/live cd intpo the live part and you would like to start install from there. what happens on the reboot? | 08:14 |
| oliver_ | kothaguy_ubuntu , should set your proxy settings | 08:15 |
| _Neytiri_ | i have a system i just installed ubuntu server on and i tried to boot it and it wont boot | 08:15 |
| _Neytiri_ | its just a flashing _ | 08:15 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | oliver_, how to do that | 08:15 |
| guest123456 | elFidel, I want try ubuntu with liveOS | 08:15 |
| guest123456 | pc restarts | 08:15 |
| _Neytiri_ | how can i fix that | 08:15 |
| sugoruyo | ActionParsnip: i'd like it to be from the designers of the debian packaging system, but it doesn't *need* to be, i just want to know more about what metadata the system keeps about a package, i'm doing some work on explaining linux to some technical, non-linuxy people and package management is a big thing in our context | 08:16 |
| guest123456 | like when you press "reset" button | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | sugoruyo: optional means you installed it or it was pulled down as a recommended package | 08:16 |
| coz_ | guest123456, when you get to the menus with "Try ubuntu" do the check cd to see if there are errors on the disk | 08:16 |
| recognosco | sugoruyo: you are looking to find out how APT works? the internals? | 08:16 |
| === loic is now known as cadmium | ||
| guest123456 | coz_, yes, but restarts also if I press it | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | sugoruyo: the suggested packages are nice to have but are nonessential | 08:17 |
| sugoruyo | recognosco: not programming stuff, just the technical details on what the package manager does with that info | 08:17 |
| guest123456 | but no errors are in the cd because i installed it on my pc with virtualbox | 08:17 |
| sugoruyo | ActionParsnip: yeah, i get that, but i doubt it's documented as such by the designers of dpkg | 08:18 |
| sugoruyo | maybe i should ask in debian | 08:18 |
| oliver_ | kothaguy_ubuntu, for example export http_proxy="http://192.168.0.10:8080" | 08:18 |
| WXZ | I need a text editor with collapseable text | 08:18 |
| recognosco | sugoruyo: i think the best way would be to look at the source code apt | 08:18 |
| coz_ | guest123456, mm do you still have the .iso image there? | 08:18 |
| WXZ | anyone know of any? | 08:18 |
| recognosco | of* | 08:18 |
| guest123456 | coz, yes | 08:19 |
| guest123456 | do you want the MD5sum? | 08:19 |
| coz_ | guest123456, ok how did you burn the disc and at what speed? | 08:19 |
| guest123456 | 12x on a rewritable disc | 08:19 |
| ActionParsnip | sugoruyo: it will be very documented. So people coding apps usd the same stuff | 08:20 |
| coz_ | guest123456, retry at 1x | 08:20 |
| mehdi_ | can some1 tell me about enlightment desktop? | 08:20 |
| guest123456 | but i installed ubuntu on a VM throught this cd | 08:20 |
| guest123456 | and all went right | 08:20 |
| coz_ | guest123456, if the md5sums were correct then something may have occured during the burn | 08:20 |
| croessner | Hi, I would like to understand, why I can not upgrade grub1->grub2. Is it because of using software RAID? http://pastebin.de/15903 | 08:20 |
| guest123456 | the problem is if i try to install it on my pc | 08:20 |
| coz_ | guest123456, ah I see... | 08:20 |
| sugoruyo | recognosco: i think that would be overkill, when you 'apt-cache show pkg' you get a bunch of data on the pkg, probably maintained by the pkg maintainer not the s/w developers themselves ('less they package for .deb themselves ofc) | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | sugoruyo: think about what a Linux distro ACTUALLY is and what it is madd off | 08:21 |
| recognosco | sugoruyo: is this what you want? http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ | 08:21 |

| guest123456 | it's correct? | 08:21 |
| coz_ | guest123456, does choosing check memory from that menu also reboot the system? | 08:22 |
| coz_ | guest123456, which version of ubuntu is this? | 08:22 |
| guest123456 | my POST makes the memory test automatically | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | sugoruyo: many small projects combine to make the distro so the xorg team will work very closely with intel for their driver to work and it will ALL be documented | 08:23 |
| sugoruyo | recognosco: it could be but i can't read it, i suppose it tries to bring me a version in my language but firefox won't display it properly | 08:23 |
| mix22891 | hello (passwd don't help) i need to change the password when i login to ubuntu | 08:23 |
| sugoruyo | ActionParsnip: that's somewhat irrelevant to what i want | 08:23 |
| mix22891 | passwd don't help | 08:23 |
| recognosco | sugoruyo: opens just fine over here. | 08:23 |
| coz_ | guest123456, that md5sum is correct for ubuntu 10.10 32 bit ..yes | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | sugoruyo: you doubt the documentation of dpkg. I'm telling you it is due to the nature of Linux | 08:25 |
| sugoruyo | recognosco: well, maybe your language uses the latin alphabet, i'm greek, it brings me the greek version but ff opens it with Western encoding... | 08:25 |

| llutz_ | readan: and what's your problem with it? | 08:38 |
| coz_ | ljsoftnet, is this what you mean? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPCDOEs5mGo | 08:39 |
| mehdi_ | @ coz_ yea i can only run 1 windows manager? | 08:39 |
| mix22891 | cool i find it | 08:39 |
| readan | i entered the normal mirror and it didn't finde the release... i even specified the directory down to the release-file and it still didn't find it | 08:39 |
| mix22891 | passwd +user | 08:39 |
| coz_ | mehdi_, yes you can run metacity in gnome or compiz with gnome but not both so enlightenment would be the same either enlightenment or compiz not both | 08:39 |
| mehdi_ | well i only use compiz | 08:40 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | oliver_, :command not found message displaying in the termina | 08:40 |
| ljsoftnet | coz_ yes | 08:40 |
| mehdi_ | but GNOME is the best | 08:40 |
| readan | i even downloaded the release with wget from th director i entered! :D so i wonder why the installer can't @llutz_ | 08:40 |
| mrpinky | Hi :) I built an application on my ubuntu PC, and i sent it to my friend to run on his ubuntu PC, but when he runs the executable nothing happens. Could this be caused by different versions of C runtime? | 08:41 |

| croessner | Hi can I solve this? http://pastebin.de/15904 Do I need to modify the partition tables of sda and sdb? Any solution, please (I have Linux experience) | 08:41 |
| llutz_ | readan: idk, have you checked launchpad for bugs? | 08:41 |
| coz_ | mehdi_, then enlightenment may not be what you want however ,, I believe the developrs of enlighenment have a compromise between compiz and enlightenment named "E-live" | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mehdi_: 1 win manager per x server. If you have dual screen you can run 2 WMs and even 2 desktops if you like | 08:41 |
| readan | llutz_: like what? | 08:41 |
| recognosco | mrpinky: is your friend executing it properly? | 08:41 |
| abhijain | Hey can any one tell em where is ibus application located in ubuntu | 08:42 |
| coz_ | ljsoftnet, I have never used it but i would look at that and other videos for it funtionality,, and read on their main page | 08:42 |
| mrpinky | recognosco, possibly not... do you know what behaviour to expect if there is a problem with C runtime? | 08:42 |
| === user1 is now known as iflema | ||
| mehdi_ | @ActionParsnip u cant find such things in iran :d | 08:42 |
| coz_ | ljsoftnet, there should be a configuration section for Enna | 08:42 |
| abhayk44 | can i change the permission of an exe file in a cd ? | 08:42 |
| iceroot | abhayk44: no | 08:43 |
| iceroot | abhayk44: cd is read-only | 08:43 |
| recognosco | mrpinky: why do you think it is C runtime problem? | 08:43 |
| ljsoftnet | coz_ it does, but i could find a way to always show the control bar in videos | 08:43 |
| trick | iceroot: http://learn-elisp-for-emacs.org/ | 08:43 |
| coz_ | ljsoftnet, I would stay clear of moovida...last I tried that media center it pretty much screwed things up for me | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | abhijain: try running: alacarte and looking at the command executed by the ibus icon | 08:43 |
| readan | llutz_ : like what e.g.? | 08:43 |
| llutz_ | abhayk44: you cannot | 08:43 |
| mrpinky | recognosco, it is the only difference i can think of between our systems (different versions of ubuntu) | 08:43 |
| llutz_ | readan: installer bugs? | 08:43 |
| oliver_ | kothaguy_ubuntu, maybe the blanks are the problem export http_proxy=http://ip:8080 should work in terminal and if it does add it to your .bashrc | 08:43 |
| coz_ | ljsoftnet, mm you may have to google that ... ubuntu Enna control bar visibility | 08:43 |

| readan | llutz_ : where should i check that? | 08:44 |
| recognosco | mrpinky: i don't think that is an issue. is the executable in your friend's computer +x ? | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | oliver_: don't forget ftp ;-) | 08:44 |
| llutz_ | readan: launchpad.net | 08:45 |

| coz_ | \share, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightened_Sound_Daemon | 08:45 |
| \share | thanks | 08:45 |
| \share | k is for multiple audio | 08:46 |
| mrpinky | recognosco, i transferred the file using zshare.net, which probably stripped all the permissions, so i will get him to check that it is +x now - thanks! :) | 08:46 |

| coz_ | gedO_, that would be that last tab for that | 08:51 |

| Voita | Hi anyone who knows how to make a usbdevice bootable? Have been trying with unetbootin but my laptop doesńt seem to find the boot files | 08:59 |
| pooky | I'm guessing not, since everyone is recommending other (decent) things. Thanks | 09:00 |
| Jordan_U | Voita: Does your laptop support booting from USB. | 09:00 |
| Jordan_U | ? | 09:00 |
| Voita | yes jordan... I installed ubuntu via usb | 09:00 |
| Voita | but now i need to have a bootable xubuntu stick | 09:01 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | oliver_, :yes both the commands | 09:01 |
| recognosco | Voita: try usb-creator | 09:01 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | voita: use freedos | 09:01 |
| oliver_ | kothaguy_ubuntu and they gave no error? if so just try ur update command | 09:02 |
| Voita | thx guys I try freeds and usb creator and se what happens | 09:02 |
| Jordan_U | Voita: Did you use unetbootin to make the Ubuntu USB that did work? | 09:02 |
| Voita | yes jordan but that was made in windows | 09:02 |
| Jordan_U | Voita: FreeDOS won't help you boot (X)Ubuntu. | 09:02 |
| Voita | I have tried to use unetbottin now again with a windows puter but same result | 09:03 |
| sougata | pooky, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/indicator-cpufreq-cpu-frequency-scaling-indicator-applet/ | 09:03 |
| Voita | seems ubuntu can t read my stick during boot | 09:03 |
| recognosco | Voita: usb-creator never failed me. | 09:03 |
| Voita | ok reco... will look for usb creator | 09:04 |
| Jordan_U | Voita: What exactly happens when you try to boot from the USB drive? | 09:04 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | voita:u want to make bootable usb in ubuntu or in windows? | 09:04 |
| sougata | pooky, please ignore if irrelavant, I don't understand gnome jargons | 09:04 |
| Voita | nothing happens ubuntu boot like normal | 09:04 |
| Voita | I want it bootable for a ubuntucomputer | 09:04 |
| Jordan_U | Voita: Is the USB drive listed as a boot device in your BIOS? | 09:05 |
| Voita | yes it is | 09:05 |
| Voita | first priority | 09:05 |
| ychaouche | hello #ubuntu | 09:06 |
| ychaouche | I found so many locations where .el (emacs) files are put. | 09:06 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | voita unetbootin is the excellent one,select disk image,and select your usb drive,it works perfect,which ubuntu version r u using? | 09:06 |
| Jordan_U | Voita: Try holding shift during boot to get to Ubuntu's grub menu (from the Ubuntu installed to the internal drive) and run "ls -l" and see if your drive is listed. | 09:06 |
| ychaouche | Where do you suggest me to put a downloaded .el file so that emacs can see and load it when required ? | 09:06 |
| Voita | kothaguy i have tried unetbootin 5 times now and 1 win win and the stick is not bootable in ubuntu | 09:07 |
| JusticeZero | Does anyone know what might have patched earlier this week that would break one of my wine programs? | 09:07 |
| Voita | 1 with windows | 09:07 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | did u formatted ur stick with fat32 | 09:08 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | did u formatted ur usb stick? | 09:08 |
| Voita | yes I have formatted it several times | 09:08 |
| Jordan_U | Voita: If it is try running "root=(hdX); chainloader +1; boot" where (hdX) is the drive containing the partition with Xubuntu, not the partition itself. | 09:08 |
| JusticeZero | I'm having some odd behavior with wine, and mumble stoppped being able to connect. | 09:08 |
| gordonjcp | Voita: unetbootin is total cack | 09:08 |
| Voita | jordan are you talking grub? | 09:09 |
| gordonjcp | Voita: I've never been able to get it to produce anything resembling a bootable image, from any ISO | 09:09 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | unetbootin works perfect for me on ubuntu 10.04 in my acer aspire one | 09:09 |
| Voita | i just wish it would produce a stick for me that works to | 09:10 |
| Jordan_U | Voita: Yes. | 09:10 |
| oliver_ | kothaguy_ubuntu , can u update now? | 09:10 |
| gordonjcp | kothaguy_ubuntu: the most I've got out of it is a broken-looking text-mode bootloader | 09:10 |
| Jordan_U | Voita: If what I suggest works then there is nothing wrong with the USB drive or what unetbootin has done and it's instead some sort of BIOS bug. | 09:10 |
| Voita | ok can you please refer me to that information so that i can read more about it, not confortable with grub yet :) | 09:10 |
| gordonjcp | I'm amazed that Ubuntu still doesn't have a USB stick image; that alone makes it one of the hardest distros to install | 09:11 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | oliver_, :no unable to update,same fetching error occuring | 09:11 |
| oliver_ | kothaguy_ubuntu show me the command you executed | 09:12 |
| recognosco | Voita: what are you trying to do? create a bootable Xubuntu USb stick from ISO? or boot into a USB drive Xubuntu installation? | 09:12 |
| pooky | sougata: that's just for changing the cpu freq, but thanks for trying. | 09:12 |
| recognosco | gordonjcp: i use usb-creator (from Ubuntu) and it works perfectly. | 09:13 |
| pooky | sougata: I already did some google searches, kind of turned up empty handed, figured I'd check here | 09:13 |
| kothaguy_ubuntu | oliver:what you asked me to update,i just tried the ubuntu update? | 09:13 |
| sougata | pooky, yes I read . I did not use anything other than top | 09:13 |
| Voita | recognoso Iḿ trying to make a bootable usb using Iso with ubuntu in order to boot xubuntu in the sam puter | 09:13 |
| moata_u | hello , every body.. | 09:13 |
| moata_u | i have question in sheel script ...need help please | 09:14 |
| llutz_ | moata_u: ask your question (maybe better in #bash) | 09:14 |
| recognosco | Voita: try making the bootable USB key using usb-creator inside ubuntu (apt-get install usb-creator-gtk) | 09:15 |
| moata_u | "$("$@")" what is does exactly :) | 09:15 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: right, but that still requires you to have a bootable functioning install with X and everything working | 09:15 |
| Voita | recognoso I tried that several times last night with no luck | 09:15 |
| recognosco | gordonjcp: Voita says he/she has an existing Ubuntu installation | 09:16 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: oh, fair enough then | 09:16 |
| Voita | i have ubuntu 10.10 workingperfectly | 09:16 |
| recognosco | gordonjcp: oh. you meant in general? for people without ubuntu? | 09:17 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: and I've just noticed it's been recently packaged for Arch too | 09:17 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: I don't get why you have to jump through the iso hoop at all | 09:17 |
| discorpia | is there a way to see when a package was installed using apt or dpkg? | 09:18 |
| recognosco | gordonjcp: i agree. | 09:18 |
| llutz_ | moata_u: $@ contains a list of all given cli-parameters separated by spaces. | 09:18 |
| moata_u | ok | 09:18 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: does anyone use these funny shaving mirror things any more? | 09:18 |
| dt84 | llutz: got it for the filename. can the cron create the txt file in a path that includes the date? something like: foo > /home/Me/Desktop/$(date)/file.txt | 09:18 |
| baker | Actionbarsnip : you there? | 09:18 |
| llutz_ | dt84: sure | 09:18 |
| oliver_ | kothaguy_ubuntu hmm no try to update in a shell sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude upgrade | 09:19 |
| dt84 | llutz: it doesn't seem to work. the folder isn't created | 09:19 |
| recognosco | gordonjcp: shaving mirror? | 09:19 |
| llutz_ | dt84: you might use /bin/date since crons env is very limited | 09:19 |
| Voita | I have now prepared another stick that I found. Will restart and see what happens :) Feels like Iĺl be back here shortly :) | 09:19 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: these funny round plastic things that people used to store data on, can't remember what they're called | 09:19 |
| baker | oliver do you get (comand not found)? | 09:19 |
| llutz_ | dt84: ahh, the path has to exist, mkdir /path/$(date) before | 09:19 |
| recognosco | gordonjcp: you bet. i work part time at staples. | 09:20 |
| oliver_ | kothaguy_ubuntu thing is that when u just export the http_proxy in a terminal it's not set in env so it just works for the terminal you executed the command in | 09:20 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: in all seriousness, I don't think I've had a CD drive in a PC for about ten years | 09:20 |
| gordonjcp | this laptop has one, no idea if it works | 09:20 |
| gordonjcp | I wish it had a floppy drive, that would actually be useful | 09:21 |
| oliver_ | kothaguy_ubuntu if you wanna export it for all terminals you must add the commands to your .bashrc file | 09:21 |
| baker | good old floppy | 09:21 |
| hehehe | hee | 09:21 |
| ychaouche | What should I type in the search engine to get a description of Ubuntu's file hierarchy "convention" for storing emacs files ? | 09:22 |
| baker | what systems updates came out today? | 09:22 |
| Fudge | hi anyone know of eeepc 1000ha probs with ubuntu maverick, the battery claims it has 2 seconds left and shuts down, where as windows its fine | 09:23 |
| ychaouche | I hope my question was clear enough to be understood... | 09:23 |
| hehehe | http://i52.tinypic.com/29xdybs.png How can I change the lenght of the menu ? there is too much space at right of each shortcut. is it possible to change it? | 09:23 |
| oliver_ | kothaguy_ubuntu , maybe the repos you added aren't yet available for 10.10 , I assume those are just few updates that don't work, am I right? | 09:24 |
| hehehe | if ya le me know | 09:24 |
| baker | is there not ubuntu expert here or what? | 09:24 |
| hehehe | baker: im an expert | 09:24 |
| recognosco | gordonjcp: i work PT at Staples. we push spindle after spindle all year long. but yes, usb sticks are very popular. but people hardly buy external drives. i am sure a lot of them aren't getting backup done properly. | 09:24 |
| hehehe | :) | 09:24 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: I don't back up, I just keep my work in a git repo and periodically buy a new hard disk | 09:25 |
| baker | hehehe : do you know where i can find out witch updates came out today / 24 hours | 09:25 |
| baker | ? | 09:25 |
| tensorpudding | baker: what do you mean by a system update? | 09:25 |
| hehehe | no | 09:25 |
| Voita | Somebody now how to delay booting in order for computer to find the usb stick boot file? | 09:26 |
| mickster04 | baker: regardless of how good we are, we are all volunteers, so we don't anyone anything. any help anyone gets is much appreciated and saying things like that make you sound ungrateful and rude at worst. just be aware of that | 09:26 |
| baker | yeah | 09:26 |
| recognosco | gordonjcp: as long as you know you're safe. | 09:26 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: well, I back up large uncompressible media files, by dumping them out to other disks | 09:26 |
| hehehe | http://i52.tinypic.com/29xdybs.png How can I change the lenght of the menu ? there is too much space at right of each shortcut. is it possible to change it? | 09:26 |
| recognosco | gordonjcp: i have a couple of WD MyBooks for that ;) | 09:26 |
| JackStoner_ | Hello...i need help removing the "AMD unsupported hardware" watermark...PLLLZZZ HELP!! | 09:26 |
| fishyer | help ~ | 09:26 |
| baker | hehehe : yeah system updates | 09:26 |
| fishyer | can't connect to the undernet server, why? | 09:27 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: I've usually got a couple of copies floating about; the only time I've ever run afoul of this was when I lost one of my hosting providers and with it a large SVN repo - but someone else had a full checkout of it | 09:27 |
| dt84 | llutz: yep, thanks - that did the trick | 09:27 |
| gordonjcp | recognosco: so, Linus's method works | 09:27 |
| recognosco | JackStoner_: what watermark? | 09:28 |
| mickster04 | fishyer: you're not plugged in | 09:28 |
| oliver_ | hehehe, create ".gtkrc-2.0" in your home directory and add the line gtk-icon-sizes = "gtk-large-toolbar=18,18:panel-menu=16,16:gtk-menu=14,14" just change whatever you like :D or take another theme I guess that the other way | 09:28 |
| gordonjcp | right, later all | 09:28 |
| hehehe | http://i52.tinypic.com/29xdybs.png Menus' widht seem to change. I need to know the solution for this tks | 09:28 |
| recognosco | gordonjcp: later | 09:28 |
| hehehe | thanks oliver_ im gonna try | 09:28 |
| tensorpudding | there's probably a way to concatenate all the changelogs of every package you have installed, then filter them by date of most recent change | 09:28 |
| === Guest35820 is now known as DarkDevil | ||
| tensorpudding | that would tell you what packages updated most recently | 09:28 |
| baker | I theres a bug in buc/burg manager not opening | 09:28 |
| JackStoner_ | recognosco: when i installed the ATI drivers it worked but there's a "shadow image" / watermark saying AMD unsupported hardware :( | 09:28 |
| mickster04 | baker: that's not really ubuntu help | 09:28 |
| === DarkDevil is now known as Guest41671 | ||
| fishyer | mickster04: how ? | 09:29 |
| hehehe | oliver_: ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ? | 09:29 |
| mickster04 | fishyer: what i mean to say is that you have given us no details to help us diagnose your problem so I am giving you a generic responce?! | 09:29 |
| oliver_ | hehehe, yeah u need to create that | 09:30 |
| baker | i want to update but buc/burg wount open if i do | 09:30 |
| hehehe | oliver_: thanks 4 teh tip | 09:30 |
| baker | trying to figure out what package is causing it | 09:30 |

| === mohammad is now known as Guest4083 | ||

| shomon | I think best way to stop a hack attack is to unplug the network cable from the back of the computer | 11:11 |

| shomon | find out how they got in... looking through var/logs for their IP address... although that might just show the address of another compromised box... | 11:13 |
| shomon | you would be better banning the IP than deleting the user, without looking through the home dir to find out what that user was up to... | 11:14 |

| erUSUL | little-tux: server edition or minimal | 11:46 |
| erUSUL | !server | 11:46 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server | 11:46 |
| erUSUL | !minimal | 11:46 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:46 |
| Gnea | !alt | little-tux | 11:46 |
| ubottu | little-tux: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 11:46 |
| little-tux | ty so much | 11:46 |
| yacc | gnewb, not really, but then I've added the relevant modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, rerun update-initramfs and hope for the best, I personally want just to have the USB stuff accessible as I'm dropping to the busybox cmdline anyway => I hate to have to retype crypt passwords for half-dozens PVs especially when it's the same for all PVs. | 11:47 |
| gaelfx | hey, I've got a CD-Rom that worked perfectly well with the liveusb, but now that I've installed, it takes over 5 minutes to actually load any CD to the point that I can use it. How can I figure out what's going wrong and make my CD-Rom work again? | 11:47 |
| Gnea | erUSUL: ironically enough, I could only get my new workstation up and running using server as a base | 11:47 |
| Curly_Q | Just curious, I am able to SSH into my Linux box. When I logged into root it told me that I could upgrade the root program. I type in the command prompt and get a: "Welcome to root" message. Whas that a good idea to apt-get it? | 11:47 |
| yacc | gnewb, so I'm adding a small script to initrd that asks for one password and tries to unlock all PVs with it. | 11:47 |
| gaelfx | as a side note, putting anything in the CD drive makes the entire system REALLY laggy | 11:47 |
| Guest42064 | another one, a bit more hard to find: i have a problem, my external screens are not detected since i upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 | 11:47 |

| gnewb | yacc: That does make sense, I had a run in with one of those last week, it was a heap of code that I found out was uneeded. | 11:49 |

| Gnea | theprototype: how did you obtain the main source tree | 11:50 |
| yacc | gnewb, well, I've run into plymouthd so I might get tempted into writing a proper script that asks nicely via the GUI for the password without dropping me to the busybox prompt. | 11:50 |

| qmx_ | 进来了 | 12:10 |
| theprototype | Gnea not even sure what that is. i did that so i wouldn't flood the room. isn't intentional | 12:10 |
| red | would it be dig 192.168.0.100 @192.168.0.200 ? | 12:10 |
| rwat | red something like dig intra @192.168.0.100 maybe | 12:10 |

| Gnea | theprototype: okay, it's in universe, so I don't see why that command is failing | 12:14 |
| gaelfx | Gnea: no, any kind of cd I put in there under my install staggers the system | 12:14 |
| ddilinger | rwat: hmm, well i seem to have the proper group permissions for /dev/dri, so at least one box checked off :) | 12:14 |

| Norrlanning | Hi there! couldn't find a development channel so I thought that I'd give it a try here. Is there anyone that tried to customize ubiquity? I've done quite a lot but there's one problem I can't seem to solve. And that is how to change the pre-highlighted install language. By default the highlighted installer-language is english. I would just like to change it to Swedish. However it seems like there's ALOT of files ubiquity uses to pro | 12:20 |
| Gnea | theprototype: cheers :) | 12:20 |
| theprototype | Gnea so what did the "Sudo apt-get source aircrack-ng" do if i already had it installed? Does this manually update it? Install dependencies ??? | 12:21 |
| peter_ | sudo apt-get install internet-explorer dosent work :S | 12:23 |
| Gnea | theprototype: well, once you get that dpkg-dev package installed, you should be able to re-run the source command again and it ought to create a sub-directory with the source tree in it | 12:23 |
| zvacet | Norrlanning: check #ubuntu-devel | 12:23 |
| Gnea | theprototype: just use the ls command to see the changes | 12:23 |
| Norrlanning | zvacet: Thank you :-) | 12:23 |
| theprototype | Gnea yea i actually didn't read it before i pasted it. dpkg-dev is installed. i'm not going to bother you anymore, i'm not even sure what a source tree is. Seriously though, is there any Linux books i can buy that will give me a jump start on stuff such as this ? | 12:25 |
| theprototype | Gnea asides from the dummies book i haven't read yet ;) | 12:26 |
| theprototype | gnea i'm sure i can find all kinds of books, just looking for a recommendation | 12:27 |
| Gnea | theprototype: there are a bunch of books. I recommend Barnes & Noble - go there with at least a few hours to waste, sit down and look at what they've got and choose which books suit you and go from there. :) | 12:27 |
| Dr_Willis | start with free general purpose books.. then focus on what yu like progre55 | 12:27 |
| progre55 | Dr_Willis: huh? | 12:27 |

| Dr_Willis | if you got an Android phone. theres a few nice little apps to help learn linux also. | 12:31 |

| peter_ | Dr_Willis, what apps? | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | peter_: theres a few for doing chmod/chown/other calculations, and i recall seeing some 'ubuntu quick learning guide' | 12:32 |

| sorin7486 | any ideas ? or anybody know a good channel to ask this in ? | 12:37 |

| juk | sorin7486: #bash? | 12:38 |

| Huck | extracting an audio file to wave via the audio extractor results in a file almost half the size of the original wave on the cd, does this add compression even for wave files ? | 12:38 |

| sorin7486 | Gnea, that works but I'd like the script to work better | 12:38 |
| Gnea | sorin7486: that would require that I knew what the script does. pastebin? | 12:39 |

| CanTonic | hey guys. i am new to ubuntu and have to install some tools. a tutorial says "First off, there are a number of add-ons you’ll likely want to load. For each of these just download the latest source. I was able to simply run ./configure, make, make install for each of these with no hiccups." what do they mean? do i have to enter ./configue and then make and then make install while being in the... | 12:46 |

| === Guest90542 is now known as ogra_ | ||
| NeoCicak | gaelfx: yeah | 12:48 |
| gaelfx | NeoCicak: so you should be able to go into Synaptic, purge the nvidia package from x-swat, then unmark it or remove from repos and then install the nvidia-current package again | 12:49 |
| NeoCicak | gaelfx: ok.. thx :) | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Autonomiser: 'backuports' is just a normal repo you could enable and use, and perhaps use ppa-purge to clean out from it.. Not sure about 'pre-release updates' You mean you upgraded to 11.04? | 12:49 |
| gaelfx | NeoCicak: no problem | 12:49 |
| Gnea | NeoCicak: you can actually install multiple versions of the nvidia driver at once, just make sure you install the one that works with your card.... various releases are only for certain timespans of cards... | 12:50 |
| Autonomiser | I have unchecked the Black Ports and Pre Release options in Software Sources and the run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade. Will that do it? | 12:50 |
| Autonomiser | No just the Pre Release updates for 10.10 | 12:51 |
| Gnea | Autonomiser: what's a Black Port? | 12:51 |
| NeoCicak | Gnea: yea... i remember i used to be able to select the driver in 'additional drivers'... but it only shows one atm :( | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Autonomiser: You mean 'Back Ports' ? | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Autonomiser: if you installed stuff from them. those options wont remove the pacakges. | 12:51 |
| Autonomiser | Yes sorry I meant backports | 12:52 |
| gaelfx | Gnea: well, irqpoll doesn't seem to have changed anything, I'll try the pci=routeir thing. It doesn't matter what part of the options I put that in, right? | 12:53 |
| Autonomiser | Since I have installed theses my on-board microphone has stop working | 12:53 |
| Gnea | gaelfx: as long as it's at the end | 12:54 |
| Autonomiser | Dr_Willis is there a way to uninstall them? | 12:54 |
| Gnea | Autonomiser: interesting, I've noticed that my onboard mic stopped working on my netbook awhile ago, I have to plug in an external mic for it to work | 12:54 |

| gaelfx | actually, it seems to have worsened the situation, my panels just disappeared when it decided it couldn't mount | 12:57 |

| Dr_Willis | Exploiter: see what that option does.. it may be setting a framebuffer res.. but i dident think it did that. I always disable extras like that. | 13:31 |
| nicofs | Dr_Willis, yes but for that i would have to burn a live cd and boot from that to install to a usb drive - i have ubuntu running on this pc already... | 13:32 |
| Exploiter | so shall i just remove quite splash?? | 13:32 |
| Dr_Willis | nicofs: you can do it from 2 usb drives.. one has the live-install setup.. you then use to install to the 2nd usb. | 13:32 |
| ssbpls | jrib:how to fix it?http://paste.ubuntu.com/577834/ | 13:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Exploiter: you can do what you want. its easy to change it back | 13:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Exploiter: removeing quiet splash - will result in a 'text' login, no plymouth anuimation. and i think no framebuffer. | 13:33 |
| Dr_Willis | replaceing 'quiet splash' with 'text' will give a text login, and NOT start the GDM service either.. | 13:33 |

| Dr_Willis | Exploiter: you tried the nofb option? You checked the grub2 docs and seen if it mentions the framebuffer? | 13:43 |
| Dr_Willis | BryanRuiz: make the .sh file executable.. and it should be able to do it.. or make the launcher run somthing like 'xterm -e whatever.sh' if you want its output in a terminal. | 13:44 |
| Exploiter | well.. i just get a nice post.. it says old option had replaced sudo modprobe uvesafb mode=1280x800-32, now mode is mode_option | 13:44 |
| Dr_Willis | BryanRuiz: be sure the .sh starts with a proper #!/bin/sh (or bash) line | 13:44 |

| Elssha | yup | 14:38 |
| Elssha | though a restart did fix it (for now) | 14:38 |
| Elssha | lol maybe | 14:38 |
| oliver_ | Elssha, maybe dust in front of the infra red | 14:38 |
| terry | Elssha: What is the make and model of your laptop? | 14:38 |

| lifestream | Hi, is there a GUI program to search & replace a word in all plain-text files in a folder? I changed my username and want to change oldname to newname | 14:39 |
| ruan | hmm, notepad++ did that.. not sure about gedit | 14:39 |
| jrib | lifestream: how is changing your username related to searching and replacing a word in plain text files? | 14:40 |
| terry | Elssha: I found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=188271&page=3 | 14:41 |
| ruan | jrib: its like editing multiple config files at once | 14:41 |
| * jrib still does not follow | 14:41 | |
| erUSUL | lifestream: command line is better for that task | 14:41 |
| lifestream | jrib: some programs use full path on their configs, for example, after i changed my home folder, firefox did not load my plugins, but it did once i changed every reference to my new username | 14:41 |
| ruan | i know for sure that notepad++ did that | 14:41 |
| amin_ | http://pastebin.com/QTNAj4CJ help plz | 14:41 |
| ruan | wish there was a linux port of it | 14:42 |
| lifestream | I agree erUSUL but it's dangerous to let ME around sed/awk :P | 14:42 |
| terry | lifestream: Most text editors will do that for you. | 14:42 |
| jjp_ | lifestream: vim does it: vim file1 file2 ... then :bufdo %s/pattern/substitution/ge | update | 14:42 |
| lifestream | terry: good god, terry, I don't want to go through every single file by hand >:) | 14:42 |
| Elssha | um, no one in ##linux is answering... anyone here willing to walk me through making a partion *not* read-only? | 14:42 |
| Elssha | I need to add files to it and delete some of the files I kept for the reinstall -_-; | 14:42 |
| jrib | lifestream: why don't you use grep or at least set up some system that makes you confirm it, because (1) I don't think this is a common issue and (2) doing this in an automated way may cause problems | 14:43 |
| jjp_ | eslssh: mount -o remount,rw /<mountpoint> | 14:43 |
| terry | lifestream: OpenOffice will as well as most all the others. | 14:43 |
| lifestream | jrib: I tried someone's script, but it was searching EVERYTHING, like, 4GB .dat files, and movies. I want to search just plain text files :) | 14:44 |
| terry | lifestream: You just leave the "replace with" section blank. | 14:44 |
| jjp_ | lifestream: to the best of my knowledge, GNU sed can do in place substitution | 14:44 |
| terry | lifestream: you needed to direct it to one particular file. | 14:44 |
| nameless` | jrib: find . -type f -name "*.txt" ? | 14:44 |
| lifestream | terry: I don't want to sit on my butt for a week going file by file :( | 14:45 |
| jjp_ | lifestream: sed 's/pattern/replacement' file > file | 14:45 |
| MonkeyDust | lifestream: try searchmonkey | 14:45 |
| nameless` | jrib: ops sorry, you mean inner data are plain text | 14:45 |
| jjp_ | lifestream: sed 's/pattern/replacement/g' file > file | 14:45 |
| jjp_ | sorry | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | jjp_: do not do that!!! | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | jjp_: that will trash file | 14:45 |
| Elssha | thanks jjp (had to go afk for a sec) | 14:45 |
| nameless` | erUSUL: jjp_ agree | 14:45 |
| lifestream | Yeah, even I know better, that's just retarded | 14:46 |
| Elssha | also, will this stay on when i restart (the volume is mounted via pysdm) | 14:46 |
| jjp_ | erUSUL: yeah, right sorry | 14:46 |
| erUSUL | jjp_: is sed -i for in place editing with gnu sed. or weith other sed use a tmp file | 14:46 |
| jrib | lifestream: grep -I -R lifestream ~/.* is probably good enough | 14:46 |
| MonkeyDust | lifestream: SeaMonkey GUI http://imagebin.org/141978 | 14:47 |
| lifestream | jrib: won't that search all files, even images, movies, .DAT files, and other places where obviously my name is not at? I dont want to search through all 200GB of data | 14:47 |
| jrib | lifestream: see -I | 14:47 |
| lifestream | thanks MonkeyDust ! | 14:47 |
| Elssha | what's the command to *just* mount a file ? mount -o rw /<mountpoint> or something different? | 14:48 |

| Elssha | a partition | 14:49 |
| Elssha | sry, i misspoke | 14:49 |
| Elssha | cuz it will not let me do what jjp said to do ( mount -o remount,rw /<mountpoint> ) | 14:50 |
| Elssha | even when i do root | 14:50 |
| Elssha | said remount is not supported | 14:50 |
| erUSUL | Elssha: what error do you get? | 14:50 |
| jjp_ | elssha: what is your filesystem | 14:50 |

| txomon | hello, is there any way to allow users create groups without being sudoers? | 14:51 |
| Elssha | like i said, i'm mounting it via pysdm but i looked through the options and none of them should make it read-only | 14:51 |
| terry | remounting is not supported? That's news to me. | 14:51 |
| Elssha | idk | 14:51 |
| Elssha | running 10.10 | 14:51 |
| Elssha | installed it on the weekend | 14:51 |
| jjp_ | elssha: mount -t ntfs-3g /<device> /<mountpoint> | 14:51 |
| Elssha | that will make it read/write -able, right? | 14:52 |
| erUSUL | txomon: make everyone able to run addgroup ? but it may be dangerous.... | 14:52 |
| karla | terry: to me as well, -o remount should do the trick | 14:52 |
| txomon | erUSUL: That is non an option | 14:52 |
| jjp_ | txomon: may lead to group identifiers exhaustion or collisions | 14:52 |
| Elssha | what do i put as device, just the name? or like the sda5 thing? | 14:52 |
| terry | Elssha: mount -o rw,remount /home/what/ever does not work? | 14:52 |
| Elssha | this is the exact thing that gave me the error sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/cerberus | 14:53 |
| txomon | jjp_: may I create an script that creates groups as I want | 14:53 |
| terry | Elssha: You mount mount points (directories, not partitions) | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | :) | 14:53 |
| terry | Elssha: Maybe it is because you did not have sufficient permission | 14:54 |
| Elssha | i used root | 14:54 |

| jjp_ | Elssha: what is the actual error ? | 14:54 |
| Elssha | read above | 14:55 |
| Elssha | got the same one when the remount rw thing was switched jjp's original | 14:55 |

| Elssha | i think the program is interfering | 14:57 |
| Elssha | i got this when i tried mount | 14:57 |
| Elssha | mount /media/cerberus | 14:57 |
| Elssha | Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. | 14:57 |
| Elssha | The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which | 14:57 |
| Elssha | could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. | 14:57 |

| terry | Elssha: Well, I don't think you can remount a filesystem that is in use. That may be the problem. If an application is accessing a file on that paticular mount point, you will probably be blocked from remounting. | 14:57 |
| Elssha | but the program let me write to the volume before | 14:58 |
| jjp_ | elssha: can you actually umount the volume ? umount /media/cerberus | 14:59 |
| terry | Elssha: You would have to close all applications that might be accessing files on that particular mount point and stop all processes that may be dealing with files on the mount point as well. | 14:59 |
| jjp_ | Elssha: you can find these app with lsof | 15:00 |
| Elssha | unmounted | 15:00 |
| terry | Elssha: If you can not umount it, then you will not be able to remount either. | 15:00 |
| Elssha | unmounted it | 15:00 |
| Elssha | now what? | 15:00 |
| jjp_ | Elssh: mount -t ntfs-3g /the/device /the/mountpoint | 15:01 |

| Elssha | is that what you mean? | 15:01 |
| jjp_ | Elssh: fine | 15:01 |

| Elssha | okay | 15:03 |
| Elssha | one last q on this | 15:03 |
| jjp_ | Elssha: remember: ntfs i *bad* | 15:03 |
| Elssha | if i put that command ( mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw /dev/sda5 /media/cerberus) into start-up will that do it so i can uninstall the mounting program? | 15:03 |
| jjp_ | Elssha: no, update fstab | 15:03 |
| Elssha | what is fstab though? | 15:03 |
| ruan | !fstab | 15:04 |
| ubottu | 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 | 15:04 |

| Silent93 | hey, im using ubuntu server (10.10) how do I get it to share the internet connection from one device to another? | 15:04 |
| erUSUL | !ics | 15:04 |
| ubottu | If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 15:04 |
| Elssha | and in my case, for it to start at startup as rw what would i write (sry for or all asking but code is NOT my forte, i majored in bio >_>) | 15:05 |
| terry | !ufw Silent93 | 15:05 |
| terry | !ufw | Silent93 | 15:05 |
| ubottu | Silent93: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 15:05 |
| Silent93 | erUSUL: is that the correct way to do it on a server? | 15:05 |
| jjp_ | Elssha: is sda5 already mentioned in fstab ? | 15:05 |
| erUSUL | Silent93: on a server follow the guide that uses iptables | 15:06 |
| Elssha | let me open it | 15:06 |
| terry | Silent93: Or you can just write a firewall script on your own. | 15:06 |
| Silent93 | thanks | 15:06 |
| ruan | gedit /etc/fstab | 15:06 |
| terry | Silent93: but ufw will write it for you. | 15:06 |

| blackCode | karla, so, i go inside the crontab file and just add the script tht i need to run anywhere ? | 15:33 |
| ikonia | blackCode: no, you should not do that | 15:33 |
| ikonia | blackCode: you should use crontab -e to use the correct format to run a script at the desired time | 15:33 |
| karla | blackCode: yes, and then save the file, after that crontab will be updated for you | 15:34 |
| blackCode | ikonia, i used crontab -e, and after i finished my edit, i couldn't save the data | 15:34 |

| ikonia | Xzil0: ok, so you have network connection to the public internet, so therefore it is most likley your host machine the windows machine, is blocking the request | 15:46 |
| GuyLewin | I see someone broke into my server | 15:46 |
| terry | Xzil0: cat /etc/resolv.conf | 15:46 |
| GuyLewin | It just does "changed user `toor' information" like 6 times every second | 15:47 |
| ikonia | terry: he just said he can ping google.com so dns is working | 15:47 |

| ikonia | Xzil0: or set to use a proxy. | 15:50 |
| terry | Ubuntu_Fedora: The issue is not seeing open ports. The issue is seeing what services are listening behind the ports. (If there is no service listen on a given port it is not open for traffic.) | 15:50 |

| Ubuntu_Fedora | Thanks guys help.ubuntu.com has information about Samba thats what i was looking for... Thanks once again for support. you guys are great :) | 16:06 |
| Camarata | But I am assuming it's mostly the compatibility of 3rd party plugins within Linux such as Adobe's random issues sometimes | 16:07 |
| pcypher | terry: so pretty much, I can snmpwalk from this host to the other from terminal, and cacti can poll for data using snmp and does not error... | 16:07 |

| Joooon | hey guys I have a bit of an emergency anyone ahve experience with subversion? | 16:18 |
| guampa | ok | 16:18 |
| maco | Joooon: just ask the question | 16:18 |
| Laurenceb_ | hi | 16:18 |
| yeahyeahyeah | hey | 16:19 |
| Laurenceb_ | is it possible to rfcomm connect 4 without sudo? | 16:19 |
| Laurenceb_ | i want to automate the setup | 16:19 |
| Laurenceb_ | is there a way to automatically connect the device instead or something... ? | 16:19 |
| Joooon | Last night before I went to bed my SVN server was working fine, anyway this morning I tried to get my code from it and I get this error <m:human-readable errcode="2"> | 16:20 |
| Joooon | Could not open the requested SVN filesystem | 16:20 |
| Joooon | </m:human-readable>.....my web svn is working fine and shows the code and every as still there | 16:20 |
| Laurenceb_ | i want other users to be able to use a bluetooth device without the root password | 16:20 |
| maco | Joooon: is this svn-over-ssh with the ssh failing maybe? | 16:20 |
| Joooon | I did modify my SSH server last night would that be theproblem? | 16:21 |
| Joooon | but I'm using http to host the repos | 16:21 |
| rockenrola | ubuntu 10.04. my sound card doesn't appear any more in pulseaudio. I see it with alsamixer. I tested the card with a livecd and it works. Different kernels doesn't help. Login as another user doesn't help either. Any ideias? | 16:22 |
| raido | Joooon: but when you do an update your doing it over ssh correct? | 16:22 |
| Joooon | yes | 16:22 |
| Joooon | This server is on a rack server down the hall the only way in is SSH | 16:22 |
| raido | Joooon: Well, ive not seent that error but I have had SVN get wierd on me related to ssh differences. So I would suspect that whatever you did with ssh is causing the issue. | 16:24 |
| Joooon | hmmph all I did was change the port from 22 to 23 | 16:26 |
| raido | Joooon: You need to make that change in the svn configs too. See here http://www.techper.net/2009/01/11/changing-port-number-of-svnssh-subversion-protocol/ | 16:27 |
| caliari | hi.. somebody can help my please.. | 16:27 |
| === hwilde_ is now known as hwilde | ||
| caliari | i don't know what do with that | 16:28 |
| caliari | error while loading shared libraries: libgettextlib-0.17.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 16:28 |
| raido | Joooon: oops, thats different | 16:28 |
| Joooon | raido, when im doing a regular svn grab is uses SSH ? i thought it only used http | 16:28 |
| ikonia | caliari: what are you doing to get that error | 16:28 |
| raido | Joooon: thats for a tunnel | 16:28 |
| erUSUL | caliari: what program gives that error? how did you installed it? | 16:28 |
| ruan | caliari: you need the shared library to run whatever program requires it | 16:29 |
| Joooon | hmm | 16:29 |
| raido | Joooon: Well if your doing it from the command line its using ssh. You may be adressing the dir of your repo which is in a WWW rood dir but the xfr is going over ssh | 16:29 |
| hylian | are ide/sata to usb devices compatable with ubuntu? | 16:31 |
| Joooon | ooh no Im just accessing the server via commandline, im using HTTP for the actual grabs in my IDE | 16:31 |
| aeon-ltd | hylian: should be | 16:31 |
| hylian | aeon-ltd, that's good, because most of these manufacturers don't list anything outside of ms, ofcoarse. | 16:31 |
| aeon-ltd | hylian: ide/sata to usb as in external HDDs then yes | 16:31 |
| aeon-ltd | hylian: heh marketing trick, but yeah people have mounted them, as well as other peripherals | 16:32 |
| hylian | aeon-ltd, no, to work on internal hd's to recover data when a machine goes capoot. | 16:32 |
| raido | Joooon: oh | 16:32 |
| chaos_theory | I have a problem, I run Linux mint 10, but nobody in the help channel has been able to help. So seeing as Linux mint is derived from ubuntu maybe you can help too.

| invisible_ | hi there, just wanted to ask what the default shell (/bin/sh) would be in an ubuntu 10.04 ? | 16:36 |
| invisible_ | i cannot get that type of info for every release of ubuntu | 16:36 |
| invisible_ | but i see people mentioning dash | 16:36 |
| invisible_ | and saw dash as set the default from version 6 of ubuntu | 16:36 |
| raido | invisible_: bash | 16:36 |
| invisible_ | is dash still the default ? | 16:36 |
| Pici | invisible_: The default login shell for all releases of Ubuntu is bash, /bin/sh is symlinked to dash though. | 16:36 |
| hylian | aeon-ltd, i found the answer, which is 90+% yes. | 16:36 |
| erUSUL | invisible_: /bin/sh is dash in ubuntu | 16:37 |
| Joooon | raido any idea? | 16:37 |
| invisible_ | oh, i understand now | 16:38 |
| GuyLewin | Not sure if it's related to ubuntu more than httpd | 16:38 |
| invisible_ | had a few scripts distributed using /bin/sh which used bash functinality | 16:38 |
| GuyLewin | But when I try and ping my server | 16:38 |
| invisible_ | and didn't know why they failed | 16:38 |
| GuyLewin | Most of my requests are timed out | 16:38 |
| invisible_ | thank you very much for the help | 16:38 |
| GuyLewin | Not sure what to do | 16:39 |
| systemf1 | 123 | 16:39 |
| erUSUL | invisible_: your fault if they use bash you have to use #!/usr/bin/env bash or #!/bin/bash | 16:39 |
| raido | Joooon: sorry pal, I never used it like that, you have me at loss | 16:39 |
| llutz | invisible_: if you write bash-scripts, put /bin/bash into the shebang to be on the safe side | 16:39 |
| Joooon | np, thanks for trying. | 16:39 |
| Joooon | bah this sucks I needed the code from 9am | 16:39 |
| chaos_theory | hey Linux mint has blacklisted my wireless drivers and my graphics card drivers. How do I fix this | 16:39 |
| invisible_ | indeed | 16:40 |
| v0lksman | I need to write a script that chooses a audio device, then an associated profile and then chooses said device for sound output. Any ideas where to start? | 16:40 |
| ikonia | chaos_theory: you ask in linux mint support IRC | 16:40 |

| v0lksman | kpettit, using compiz? | 16:53 |
| === richard is now known as Guest56705 | ||
| kpettit | v0lksman, I think so. It's whatever the default is | 16:53 |
| erUSUL | kpettit: use fusion-icon | 16:53 |
| v0lksman | kpettit, default depends on drivers I think.... | 16:53 |
| v0lksman | damn u erUSUL :) | 16:53 |
| aeon-ltd | kpettit: alt-f2, 'compiz --replace' or 'metacity --replace' | 16:54 |

| Guest15299 | i saw one by bluetooth, but my pc doesn t have bt | 17:03 |
| Guest15299 | gmote also needs a remote server. | 17:03 |
| kpettit | I wish they had synergy for mobile. I love that app for my desktops to share mouse/keyboard | 17:03 |
| v0lksman | I can't be the only one that needs to switch audio devices on the fly....IE PC speakers switch to Bluetooth headset for a call, back to PC speakers when done etc...is there an app? do I need to write my own scripts? how do others manage this? | 17:03 |
| Guest15299 | kpettit, don t know it... | 17:04 |
| Guest15299 | what is the idea of it? | 17:04 |
| bambang | hwy gys | 17:04 |
| erUSUL | v0lksman: device switching on the fly is one of the main selling points of pulseaudio | 17:04 |
| kpettit | Guest15299, It allows you to use one keyboard/mouse on multiple computers. So I have a Linux/mac and windows computers all right next to each other with 3 monitors. WIth synergys I move my house to the edge of one screen and it starts controlling the next one. So it's seemless | 17:05 |
| Guest15299 | kpettit, with bluettoth there is Telephone mouse | 17:05 |
| v0lksman | erUSUL, so how do you setup shortcuts? It kinda sucks to have to go into gnome-volume-control each time and change it mannually (in my case 3 settings on 3 tabs) | 17:05 |
| Guest15299 | kpettit, this is cool!!!! | 17:05 |
| Guest15299 | kpettit, nonetheless, i only have one old laptop, nothing else.. | 17:06 |
| erUSUL | v0lksman: maybe in the pulseaudio channel know? | 17:06 |
| kpettit | I love it. You can setup region's on your screen so if you move your mouse to the right edge it controls computer X or whatever | 17:06 |
| v0lksman | erUSUL, not a bad idea! :) will try my luck there...thanks! | 17:06 |
| === nick_ is now known as Guest84905 | ||

| Zuzak | that synergy thing looks awesome | 17:08 |
| Dr_Willis | synergy is handy. | 17:09 |
| Dr_Willis | it can be a little confuiseing at first to setup. and I think theres some bugs where some meta-keys can get stuck,. | 17:09 |

| Roasted | With Ubuntu on a Windows domain, does anybody know how to prevent the need from using DOMAIN\ in front of the user name you want to log in as? | 17:12 |
| kpettit | Guest15299, Are you going to be using your linux box for multimedia stuff? If so Boxee is a good app and it has a good remote app on Android | 17:12 |
| ruan | is there a download manager which tries to resume a download if it fails? | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | XBMC and vlc both have android-remote features :) | 17:13 |
| Guest15299 | kpettit, basically, i d like to use the laptop. the screen is out. so i must go through VGA and TV, but it must go smooth | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | boxee uses xbmc i think dont it? | 17:13 |
| ruan | after x seconds | 17:13 |
| kpettit | boxee, yes. | 17:14 |
| Roasted | does XBMC finally offer 64 bit mode or are the developers still self righteous and think 32bit for life? | 17:14 |
| kpettit | boxee uses xbmc I mean. | 17:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: Hmm . i just installed xbmc on my 64bit systems | 17:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !info xbmc | 17:14 |
| ubottu | Package xbmc does not exist in maverick | 17:14 |
| kpettit | Roasted, I have no idae. I've got it running on my ubuntu 64bit machine with default packages | 17:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Its not in the default repos. :) i frogot... | 17:14 |
| Guest15299 | Dr_Willis, kpettit: right, but i don t want it to be a box. it s an old box, slow, and i fear installing more thinkgs on it could make him go worse | 17:14 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, that answers my questions then. 2 years ago or so I was on XBMC and it wouldnt let me install it on my 64 bit rig. I asked on the forums and the XBMC team freaked that I dont need that much RAM anyway and why am I in need of more than 3gb of RAM, etc. | 17:15 |
| Roasted | basically defending their view of 32 bit for life. | 17:15 |
| Roasted | glad to see it's changed, though. that was a ridiculous conversation that day. | 17:15 |
| Guest15299 | Roasted, Dr_Willis, etc: is it hard to install xbmc? is it okay with 512 RAM? | 17:15 |
| Dr_Willis | i almost bought a BoxEE the other day.. | 17:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest15299: enable the proper repos.. sudo apt-get install xbmc. No idea on ram. | 17:16 |
| Roasted | Guest15299, I never ran XBMC on less than 2gb of RAM, so Ic ant comment. Last I used it it was easy. | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest15299: you may want to stick with vlc | 17:16 |
| kpettit | Guest15299, I'd install boxee instead of xbmc. The packages are alot easier to install and there are addons like the remote for andoid/iphone and such | 17:16 |
| jiltdil | i have some pictures in zip how to extract it via command in terminal? | 17:16 |
| mari | hola | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. I dont recall ever seeing a 'boxee' program.. just xbmc.. | 17:16 |
| kpettit | Guest15299, I think it depends on your video card. Give it a try. Doesn't hurt to check it out | 17:16 |
| Guest15299 | ok. so xbmc: no; vlc: wellm, i d like to use the whole desktop with a mouse... | 17:17 |
| kpettit | http://www.boxee.tv/download | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | xbmc also is a bit heaver on the video requirements.. | 17:17 |
| kpettit | oh they do have a 64bit version now. Cool | 17:17 |
| bentech4you | my wifi is not working..how to fix that.? | 17:17 |

| kpettit | bentech4you, you can try to click on "System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers" to see if it picks up anything. Otherwise you needs to google ubuntu and your hardware | 17:18 |
| bentech4you | my chip is "0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)" | 17:19 |
| chaos_theory | anyone know any good software to compress PDF files? like an epic compression % | 17:19 |
| ruan | chaos_theory: best compression i've seen is 7z | 17:20 |
| Ziber | What would stop apache from recognizing PHP? I can run PHP on the commandline, but it just shows a blank page on my site. | 17:20 |
| chaos_theory | ruan: how do I compress it into 7z? | 17:20 |
| sipior | chaos_theory: unless the pdf files are very special indeed, you are unlikely to see a great benefit from any file compression. | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !7z | 17:20 |
| ubottu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 17:20 |
| SimonPHOENIX_ | how can i connect with my server from ubuntu like tunnelier to ubuntu also? | 17:21 |
| SimonPHOENIX_ | i have not any ftp server there | 17:21 |
| Dr_Willis | SimonPHOENIX_: ssh can do tunnles.. | 17:21 |
| Guest15299 | thanks | 17:21 |
| sipior | chaos_theory: beyond the basic compression that most pdf files employ. (assuming you're writing the pdf files yourself) | 17:21 |
| SimonPHOENIX_ | i know, but how to open window like gnome for example? | 17:21 |
| nameless` | SimonPHOENIX_: ssh -X | 17:22 |
| bentech4you | in additional drivers it shows that "Broadcom STA wireless driver" and the message is like "This Driver is activated but not currently in use" | 17:22 |
| chaos_theory | sipior: do you know of any software which I can open and edit the pdf and change the quailty? | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | SimonPHOENIX_: 'ssh -X remotebox' run the app from the terminal you are in.. | 17:22 |

| Dr_Willis | larious: what kind of modem? | 17:24 |
| dogukan | i can't see system tray icons on 11.04 unity | 17:24 |

| Dr_Willis | dogukan: see #ubuntu+1 channel. for 11.04 and i think that part is a work in progress. | 17:24 |
| jetsnoc | silver: /server maya.2012info.ca | 17:25 |

| silverlightning | jetsnoc, thanks will try it right away | 17:25 |
| Ziber | What would stop apache from recognizing PHP? I can run PHP on the commandline, but it just shows a blank page on my site. | 17:25 |
| opie | ziber: you did manual restart after adding php? | 17:26 |
| jetsnoc | Ziber: after you installed php5 and libapache2-mod-php5 be sure to restart apache, common pitfall, module is loaded but apache knows nothing about it so restart the apache2 service | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | larious: what kind of modem is it? | 17:26 |

| silverlightning | abubadr, have you all the restricted packages ? | 17:30 |
| ruan | is there a download manager which tries to resume a download if it fails? | 17:30 |

| AbuBadr | silverlightning, what are they? is there an easy way to do so? i'm new to linux | 17:31 |
| silverlightning | abubadr, I had major trouble with java on one of my laptops, but on the other ubuntu slided on like a well oiled chain, no trouble at all with java, flash or anything | 17:31 |

| AbuBadr | silverlightning, weird! | 17:31 |
| jiltdil | i have a directory on desktop. how to go through command in terminal to this directory? | 17:32 |
| silverlightning | abubadr, just search for "restricted" in package manager and they will turn up. Marke off and apply, | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | larious: Never used one.. but now at least you can form a complete/detailed question to ask others... | 17:32 |

| Dr_Willis | jiltdil: rember Case is ImporntantT.. and you may want to check a bash guide or 2. | 17:32 |
| larious | Dr_Willis: can I show you something in pastebin | 17:32 |
| dto | hi folks. Ubuntu seem to no longer have a "deactivate touchpad completely" checkbox. using xinput to stop the touchpad only works for a short time---- Ubuntu re-enables the touchpad periodically. | 17:32 |
| gedO | junior, do you have installed guest? | 17:32 |
| karla | juniour: try in #vbox | 17:32 |

| luckybunny | hey everyone. Been having a problem getting my NVIDIA driver installed http://pastebin.com/CgQVCiR9 | 17:36 |
| dto | drc: is there really no way to do this without a PPA? | 17:36 |
| drc | dto: just wish there was one for xfce | 17:36 |
| drc | dto: dunno, that was the easiest way I found | 17:36 |
| SimonPHOENIX | how can i open window using ssh_ | 17:36 |
| SimonPHOENIX | ? | 17:36 |
| drc | dto: and it worked as advertised | 17:36 |
| karla | SimonPHOENIX: X11 forwarding | 17:37 |
| soreau | SimonPHOENIX: Not sure exactly what you mean. Maybe you want ssh -X? | 17:37 |
| EzeQL | hi | 17:37 |
| overclucker | SimonPHOENIX: ssh user@host -X guiapp, if you mean x11 forwarding | 17:37 |
| drc | dto: the problem was "disable the touchpad totally"...there are other ways to "disable while typing" | 17:37 |
| EzeQL | how can i find some text on *.php files? | 17:37 |
| nameless` | EzeQL: grep text *.php | 17:38 |
| karla | SimonPHOENIX: you also need a X server running on your ssh client side | 17:38 |
| Zuzak | ah, is there a task manager hidden somewhere in ubuntu? I've got some programs that are refusing to stop running | 17:38 |
| dto | drc: i tried that, it doesn't work. i just want to turn it off because the buttons on the touchpad are part of the touchpad, but ubuntu thinks they're part of the pointing surface, so i can't really click on anything | 17:38 |
| karla | SimonPHOENIX: depending on the OS you might have to install that seperately | 17:38 |
| soreau | Zuzak: Use kill(all) -9 | 17:38 |
| drc | dto: the thing I like about the way I sent was that it has an option to disable only while a mouse was pluged in | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | SimonPHOENIX: if you are on a linux machine.. and using X.. you open up a terminal... 'ssh -X remotebox' log in, and run whatever app you want. it should appear locally. | 17:39 |
| dto | drc: how do i start touchpad indicator now? | 17:39 |

| dto | i've been sort of in doubt about the ubuntu UX situation ever since they moved the X close window button to the far left where it is 1 pixel away from the File menu. | 17:42 |

| Richzilla | usr13: i tried that, it didnt point out nay updates, but i get this instead: http://paste.ubuntu.com/577977/ | 18:53 |
| schnuffle | TanKCR: do you use a proxy? | 18:53 |
| rstacruz | LjL, dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade releases :) | 18:53 |

| filiptc_ | can anyone help me out? | 18:55 |
| schnuffle | TanKCR: okay then it seems that your provider may block necessary ports | 18:55 |
| afman | filiptc_: I suggest uninstalling ssh and reinstalling. | 18:55 |

| sre-su | usr13: Adobe Flash plugin in Mozilla Firefox is crashing many times with no report. The plugin was installed from Adobe. How do I fix it? | 18:56 |
| TanKCR | schnuffle: the question is, how do I work around that, SASL seems to be the requirement, but it does not work very well | 18:56 |
| erUSUL | jiltdil: egrep == grep -E it uses more powerfull regex ( extended ) | 18:56 |
| filiptc_ | adman: ssh? i don't follow? it seems to work fine... I just can't get back to running the upgrading process | 18:56 |
| Silent93 | hi, I can't get my live cd to boot, the cd is fine (I've used it countless times) when i try to boot it shows the loading screen with the ubuntu logo and four dots then eventually just shows a greenish stripy mush on screen and I can't drop into a shell using control alt F1, ideas? | 18:56 |
| filiptc_ | *afman | 18:56 |
| jiltdil | erUSUL: plz give a example i want to see it | 18:57 |
| usr13 | Richzilla: sudo apt-get update | 18:57 |
| afman | filiptc_: You probably did a partial upgrade, removing the entire package and just putting back on would be much more simple than trying to parse through which part of the package you accidentally already installed. | 18:57 |

| filiptc_ | afman: ok, and how do i proceed? | 18:58 |
| elad` | When I go to the download page, why is 32-bit the recommended version? Should I steer clear of the x64 version? | 18:58 |
| Zed` | [TK]D-Fender: got it. thanks much | 18:58 |
| elad`` | When I go to the download page, why is 32-bit the recommended version? Should I steer clear of the x64 version? | 18:58 |
| erUSUL | jiltdil: for example with egrep you can search a foo or bar like this grep -E 'foo|bar' with bre you can not | 18:58 |

| TanKCR | schnuffle: trying 6666 now | 18:59 |
| usr13 | elad``: It depends on what you want. Basically, if you are a new user, I'd say go with 32bit. But again, it depends on what your wants / needs are. | 18:59 |
| theperfecttaco | is there any way to tweak the unity launcher to autohide in 10.10? | 18:59 |
| tim167 | elad i think you should only use 64bit if you need it for a reason, not all software supports it, yet... | 19:00 |
| TanKCR | is that an SSL port? | 19:00 |
| usr13 | elad``: The shourt answer is, yes (32bit is recommeneded) | 19:00 |
| afman | filiptc_: Use synaptic to remove whatever ssh package you have then just reinstall it. Alternatively you could use sudo apt-get remove [ssh package name here (probably openssh)] | 19:01 |
| erUSUL | 64 bits compatibility issues are things of the past imho | 19:01 |

| usr13 | elad``: ... At which time you will be faced with building a multilib system, which is ok, not all that difficult and it works fine. WHen you build a multilib system, you are then able to run 32bit and 64bit applications side by side and it works great. BUT, it is a bit of a pain and it is a bit complicated. (Not something for a new or novice user). | 19:05 |

| red2kic | toby: No. Because I'm using 'toby' in my line -- so your client recognize it and hilight it. | 19:21 |
| [TK]D-Fender | toby: They are talking about IRC autocomplete which almost all clients support. This isn't a "linux" thing at all | 19:21 |
| schnuffle | toby: type schn and hit tab | 19:21 |
| marlow59 | Haha, yeah, but Ubuntu remains the most widespread distribution using GNOME | 19:21 |
| usr13 | marlow59: There is also kubuntu (if you prefer KDE) | 19:21 |
| toby | ok scnh works | 19:21 |
| red2kic | He must be new to linux -- and IRC. :) | 19:21 |
| toby | but like erusul | 19:22 |
| [TK]D-Fender | tobAnd if it doesn't do it, then either your partial nick isn't enough to start getting matches, you aren't doing it right, or your client could suck. | 19:22 |
| toby | xchat.... | 19:22 |
| toby | is xchat bad? | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Silent93: or try also adding the option: nomodeset and remove: quiet splash | 19:22 |
| erUSUL | toby: no | 19:22 |
| red2kic | toby: No. XChat = Decent. XChat-Gnome = Bad. | 19:22 |
| [TK]D-Fender | marlow59: And there is a difference between "Gnome" and "Gnome Shell" | 19:22 |

| v0lksman | red2kic, looking for a way to change the inputs on the fly via a script | 19:26 |
| Jonii | It's ridiculous that the menu appears as soon as you click it, and by releasing the button, Ubuntu thinks you have clicked somewhere, and so you randomly select the first menu item | 19:26 |
| toby | drc: yes | 19:26 |

| Jonii | Unless you manouver around it by holding the button down after clicking right button down, and then release it on "safe" area | 19:26 |
| red2kic | v0lksman: Ah. You should ask in alsa and/or pulseaudio channel. | 19:26 |
| toby | drc: i ran the sudo commands they have on there just not sure where to go from there. so far the software center already says have wine but i need the newer wine then i have | 19:27 |
| v0lksman | red2kic, yeah..pulse is pretty quiet...will check alsa but I think its a pulse thing | 19:27 |

| toby | the reason i went to linux and dumped windows completely it forces me to learn and adapt....i find myself google searching something every 5 mins lol | 19:41 |
| Jonii | usr13: so, you did it exactly like this: <press right mouse button> -> <menu appears> -> <keep right mouse button pressed> -> <hover mouse above some selectable menu item> -> <release right mouse button for the first time> | 19:41 |

| chammua | ??? i don't understand... | 19:43 |
| red2kic | toby: Windows have far easier learning curve. Open a terminal. Run "man firefox" (blank) or "firefox --help" to see options. That's it for every package. | 19:43 |

| Canid | Does anyone know how to set up higher resolution printing on linux? | 19:44 |
| usr13 | Dcite: But OpenSource software is where the real power is, and it is not all CLI by any means. | 19:44 |
| Dcite | marlow59: Honestly.. I never tried a CD style upgrade, it will likely be faster than downloading if you take such a route. | 19:44 |
| Yadira | marlow59: ) well have u get any other answer other than mine | 19:44 |
| Canid | The settings seem to be capped at 1200 dpi | 19:44 |
| Jonii | If that's so, how do I make my Ubuntu not think right-clicking menu items means I left-clicked them? | 19:44 |
| Dcite | usr13: Yes the true power is in the software, though most tools with a few exceptions start from the CLI and later evolve into a gui. | 19:45 |

| saintbasil | why does Ubuntu update the kernel so much? | 20:02 |
| Jonii | The point is, that is obviously wasted effort, and I could override this simply by fixing the right-mouse button | 20:02 |
| chammua | where can i find it ? pls | 20:02 |
| brontosaurusrex | Jonii, if you rmb click and release then the menu should stay up as well, and you can take your time selecting without holding any buttons... | 20:03 |
| Jonii | Making it impossible to select stuff by right- or middle mouse buttons would work too | 20:03 |
| red2kic | saintbasil: http://kernel.org/ -- That have nothing to do with Ubuntu. There are new hardwares released all times. | 20:03 |
| dajhorn | pixel4e: Not really, because few people ever need to do it. Details are in the man pages at syslinux.zytor.com. It will be quicker to a minimal install of the previous release that is compatible, and then upgrade to Maverick. | 20:03 |
| Jonii | brontosaurusrex: only if I remember to release the button away from the menu, which means I gotta consciously move the mouse a bit before releasing | 20:03 |

| Jonii | Anyway, the point is, that functionality is stupid, and it could be made 20x more intuitive by fixing any of the multiple things I listed, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to have any tools to do that fixing | 20:06 |
| inside-out-bunny | yeahyeahyeah: yeah, they can be (and usually are) compiled as modules-- but they are distributed with the kernel in most cases | 20:06 |

| yeahyeahyeah | inside-out-bunny, "for the most part", I remember I had to download a driver when I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 | 20:08 |
| karla | accel: obviously you'd need to split the package installations by dependency, even then the real performance bottleneck would be most likely the storage not the CPUs | 20:08 |
| inside-out-bunny | yeahyeahyeah: you mean nvidia/graphic card drivers? | 20:09 |
| pixel4e | dajhorn: I'll try it again. I might have to resort to upgrade from 9.10 | 20:09 |

| yeahyeahyeah | inside-out-bunny, a wifi driver | 20:09 |
| Odaym | when i see "i686" in "uname -a", it means that my machine is 64 bit or the OS is 64 bit? | 20:09 |

| Orangorill | quick question: is it possible to enable sound over HDMI in Ubuntu without fiddling with the terminal? | 20:30 |
| sgeo | I'm currently on Kubuntu, but I guess it makes no difference for this question | 20:30 |
| sgeo | For some reason, Linux won't load unless I add acpi=off. This is a problem because I need to be able to see my battery level | 20:31 |
| AnubArack | Orangorill, go into sound preferences and you have HDMI in output | 20:32 |
| Orangorill | I tried that, not getting any sound. all of the howtos are very terminal heavy, and to be honest it's a bit much for a beginner. guess it's analogue or Windows then :P | 20:33 |

| ricorx7 | router: try http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/761107 | 22:21 |
| ricorx7 | gives command for symbolic links for java | 22:21 |
| opie | Jordan_U: I have 3 options, 1)install alongside current OS 2)use entire disk, 3)select partition manually. which am i supposed to choose to install to usb and not hdd ? | 22:21 |
| vexedemon | router: whats the problem? | 22:21 |
| router | ricorx7: i need to create a symbollic link to the plugin | 22:22 |
| te | router: And it seems strange that on sun's site, there are instructions for red hat and not ubuntu | 22:22 |
| Jordan_U | opie: You're welcome. Note that to do a normal install to the drive you booted the installer from you need to do some extra work. (i.e. it's difficult to install to the USB drive while booted into that same USB drive). | 22:22 |
| Jordan_U | opie: (I sent that message just after you quit before). | 22:22 |
| gekken | they should be identical, except for the $PATH | 22:22 |
| te | router: Let me do some further research | 22:22 |
| router | vexedemon: need to create a symbollic link to a java plugin | 22:22 |
| gekken | which should be pretty straightforward | 22:22 |
| opie | Jordan_U: woops sorry, was here on VM and restarted to try and install | 22:22 |
| ricorx7 | router: i guess we need more info, which plugin? | 22:23 |
| cryptodira | mickster04, i will keep futzing with it.... Thank YOU for your help and time. | 22:23 |
| Jordan_U | opie: To install to the drive you're booted from you need to pass the "toram" parameter to the kernel at boot. | 22:23 |
| router | ricorx7: the one that is included in the jdk | 22:23 |
| usr13 | router: te https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java | 22:23 |
| ricorx7 | router: ok, so you need java to work in firefox? | 22:23 |
| mickster04 | cryptodira: good luck | 22:24 |
| opie | Jordan_U: k then it will show up on the list? | 22:24 |
| claviceps_ | hi, since the kernel update a few days ago my system seems to have a misterious device on /dev/sdc (which hangs fdisk -l and also suspend); any idea what's going on? | 22:24 |
| Jordan_U | opie: Yes. | 22:24 |
| router | ricorx7: hold on i think i found the plugin | 22:24 |
| vexedemon | clav: nothing new attached, no usb devices? | 22:24 |
| opie | Jordan_U: k great, thanks I will give it a try now. | 22:24 |
| Jordan_U | opie: As long as the USB drive is large enough, i.e. over 3 GiB. | 22:24 |
| ka_ | ping | 22:25 |
| vexedemon | I'm running this full version on a 4gb jump drive ;) | 22:25 |

| geoff918 | I'm having a problem with a program attempting to use sound. It is addressing /dev/dsp; I think I can get around the issue by symlinking to that from the usual Ubuntu address for sound hardware. However, I don't know what that is. Does anybody know what the standard address for sound hardware is in Ubuntu? (10.10) | 22:30 |
| vexedemon | ugh... i hate acronyms sometimes..... :s | 22:30 |

| vexedemon | geoff: there is no standard address, they are unique per card or mb. | 22:30 |
| usr13 | router: In order to see what the exact path is, I would have to fire up my 64 bit system. (It's off now.) | 22:31 |
| router | usr13: ok | 22:31 |
| usr13 | router: But will be glad to do it... if you need me to. | 22:31 |
| geoff918 | @sorush20: In honesty, I hadn't suggested synaptic. I would have either gksu nautilus /boot...or just used the terminal | 22:31 |
| geoff918 | @vexedemon...okay, I'll output my lspci, maybe you'll be able to tell from that? | 22:31 |

| atpa8a | any upstart gurus?.. i'm binding slapd to an ip alias and it seems that aliases come up late on boot which causes slapd fail to start... can i start networking "syncronously" or something? | 22:32 |
| vexedemon | geoff: its a start :) | 22:32 |
| claviceps_ | vexedemon: no | 22:32 |

| ninjai | vexedemon: just mounting the SD card | 22:39 |
| geoff918 | @\share I wouldn't, personally, run ntpd because it runs as root. There are sometimes exploits involving that daemon. you can probably just set up a cron job with ntpdate or manually run that from time to time. That's all I do. And, honestly, I dont' experience much drift on any system--even one that's over 10 years old. | 22:39 |

| geoff918 | @geoff918 I believe if you go to the clock settings you can set it to "synchronize with internet time servers automatically" and you can choose which time servers (note, this will force you to enter your password to become "root") | 22:42 |

| \share | geoff918: I block the port with router and iptables | 22:49 |
| geoff918 | @\share I guess my personal preference would be to run the cron job. But, whatever you choose is fine. You wouldn't be the first in the world to run ntpd full-time. | 22:49 |

| vlan1 | ima li niakoi sunarodnik ? | 23:53 |
| vlan1 | :) | 23:53 |
| Cody3290 | Or need I start over if my internet connection resets or if I need to restart | 23:54 |
| b0g4nk1d | @Cody3290 AFAIK no | 23:54 |
| snowrichard | Cody3290, it doesn't hurt to start it over, it will not redownload the ones it already got | 23:54 |
| bris | I'm using the latest Ubuntu and "* * * * * vlc "/home/virtanen/000-random/Project 8.mp3"" won't do anything in crontab although "vlc "/home/virtanen/000-random/Project 8.mp3"" works fine in Terminal. Do you guys know what the problem is here? | 23:54 |
| Cody3290 | aeon-ltd: I search for ufw in the Software Center and it turns up with "Firewall Configuration". Is that correct? | 23:55 |
| Cody3290 | That's the problem, wine is one (relatively) giant file | 23:55 |
| drobole | bris: what logfile does crontab use? | 23:55 |
| terrapin | bbl | 23:55 |
| Cody3290 | 85MB, give or take | 23:55 |
| bris | drobole I don't know | 23:55 |
| Cody3290 | I have relatively slow internet | 23:55 |
| bris | # Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through | 23:55 |
| bris | # email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected). | 23:55 |
| b0g4nk1d | @Cody3290 what sort of speed are we talking about here? | 23:55 |
| bris | drobole ^ | 23:55 |
| b0g4nk1d | if it's slow then Firestarter is an option | 23:56 |
| Cody3290 | 40-120kb/s | 23:56 |
| drobole | bris: im not sure either | 23:56 |
| Cody3290 | normally | 23:56 |
| Cody3290 | on slow days 10-40kbps | 23:56 |
| bris | drobole I pasted it | 23:56 |
| b0g4nk1d | the top connection speed at my place is about 140kb/sec but that's around 2am-5am, every other time it's about 70-75kb/s | 23:57 |
| drobole | you could do a "tail -f /var/log/messages" to se if anythong pops up in there | 23:57 |
| Cody3290 | it depends on what other machines are connected to the network (speaking of which, is there a way that I can look at that? | 23:57 |
| b0g4nk1d | @Cody3290 use Firestarter - it's a lot smaller | 23:57 |
| KimLaroux | Oh wow, an ipv6 | 23:57 |
| Cody3290 | That's my DL speed, i mean. connection speed I'm not sure | 23:57 |
| Slayer | am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and all of a sudden am unable to play Youtube videos, I get the message adobe flash plugin has crashed.. Pls help | 23:57 |
| Cody3290 | o.o | 23:57 |
| bris | drobole nothing about vlc in there | 23:58 |
| drobole | bris: oh i didnt see that | 23:58 |
| drobole | ok | 23:58 |
| Cody3290 | Oh, for firewalls | 23:58 |
| Cody3290 | >.< | 23:58 |
| Diamondcite | bris: Random thought. vlc is a graphical application.. who's running the cronjob... root? | 23:58 |
| Cody3290 | Thought you were giving me an alternative for wine>.< | 23:58 |
| b0g4nk1d | @Cody3290 i wasnt | 23:59 |
| Cody3290 | Interesting, though. I might try it. | 23:59 |
| bris | Diamondcite, I believe crontab -e is ran by user | 23:59 |
| bris | I'm quite sure actually | 23:59 |
| b0g4nk1d | @Cody3290 Firestarter only takes up 2MB of HDD space and it's pretty neat | 23:59 |
| b0g4nk1d | you can see who's trying to break into your box etc. | 23:59 |
| Cody3290 | It's not space I'm worried about | 23:59 |
