| HorizonXP | i'm trying to change some ubuntu one preferences, but it's giving me a gnomekeyring.IOError when I run ubuntuone-preferences from the commmand line via SSH | 00:00 |
| Cody3290 | I don't have a box. Mentioned earlier that I "borrow" internet from a neighbor | 00:00 |
| Elvewyn | Holy crap, I'm not running any anti virus OR a firewall, am I safe? I heard linux is harder to break into... | 00:00 |
| b0g4nk1d | ah. Do u leech the connection with WiFi? | 00:00 |
| Jordan_U | !virus | Elvewyn | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Elvewyn: 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 | 00:01 |
| Cody3290 | Yes, I am using wifi | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | !firewall | Elvewyn | 00:01 |
| ubottu | Elvewyn: 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. | 00:01 |
| b0g4nk1d | @Elvewyn Linux is fairly hard to break into, you don't need an antivirus but a firewall certainly helps if you want one | 00:01 |
| Cody3290 | oh | 00:01 |
| b0g4nk1d | @Elvewyn Firestarter is a good choice | 00:01 |
| Cody3290 | ufw is already installed | 00:01 |
| Cody3290 | I thought I needed to download it. | 00:02 |
| Elvewyn | I was thinking about getting a hardware one, in case I buy more PC's. Mine's anncient | 00:02 |
| b0g4nk1d | it comes preinstalled with ubuntu @Cody3290 | 00:02 |
| Cody3290 | Does it have a GUI, or should I check out that "firewall configuration" program too? | 00:02 |
| BismilSohbet7414 | hello | 00:02 |

| 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 | 00:03 |
| drobole | Elvewyn: I guess a virus wouldn't be able to do much without root access, once it has, AV wont help you :p | 00:03 |
| b0g4nk1d | try the GUI frontend - ufw on my system appears to be some sort of iptables manager daemon | 00:03 |
| b0g4nk1d | i did man ufw | 00:03 |
| Elvewyn | I've only been using ubuntu for a month or two... | 00:03 |
| Cody3290 | a month or two, and you only just realized you neglected to install a firewall/AV? | 00:03 |
| Cody3290 | lol | 00:03 |
| b0g4nk1d | I use KlamAV | 00:04 |
| Cody3290 | That's one of the first things that I do when I get a windows computer (not that it does me any good) | 00:04 |
| Elvewyn | No, but I though I didn't need it. | 00:04 |
| b0g4nk1d | for antivirus | 00:04 |
| HorizonXP | can anyone help me with running ubuntuone-preferences via the command line? I keep getting a gnomekeyring.IOError | 00:04 |

| Elvewyn | Or at least fined. | 00:07 |
| bris | Cody3290 you could get arrested without doing anything | 00:07 |

| dend | i installed the new ubuntu, but i'm having a problem. i am now installed apache. but i can not change the folder authority. http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=142060 screenshot. example, root directory can not enter or i can not enter lost-found directory | 00:19 |
| tjholowaychuk | hmm it's working now that i have the usb stick back in | 00:19 |
| scottnyc | guys i have some serious issues, my installation of open office disappeared and when trying to install i get an error message that reads This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time. | 00:19 |
| tjholowaychuk | nvm its just prompting for install | 00:19 |
| Polah | Dend: You're not supposed to be able to access them. They're for the root account only | 00:19 |
| scottnyc | the title of the error is Package dependencies cannot be resolved | 00:20 |
| Polah | Dend: You can change file permissions or owners using sudo chmod or sudo chown, but the only way to access lost+found is to log onto the root account, which you don't really want to do | 00:20 |
| dend | www directory can not enter or i can not enter | 00:20 |

| pooltable | like to run fire fox 4 any way ?? | 00:29 |
| mickster04 | pooltable: look where the games are. it usually uses the same folder | 00:30 |
| erkan^ | !deb | 00:30 |
| ubottu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 00:30 |
| drobole | bastidrazor: isn't it /etc/X11/default-display-manager that actually starts it? | 00:30 |
| pooltable | mickster04 still new here in home folder i do not see games? | 00:31 |
| mickster04 | pooltable: how do you play the games? | 00:31 |
| alphonso | mickster04: what game do you want to play? | 00:32 |
| mickster04 | pooltable: you must go file>open game> then the file is here? | 00:32 |
| mickster04 | alphonso: not me | 00:32 |
| pooltable | mickster04 for the appulation drop down bar | 00:32 |
| Cody3290 | Will my graphics card work better if I download a driver made for it instead of using the one that came with the install? | 00:32 |
| bastidrazor | drobole: /etc/init.d/gdm is the script that starts the whole process. | 00:32 |
| mickster04 | pooltable: ? so you can access games? it will usually tell you where the games are held? | 00:33 |
| pooltable | cody3290 download the driver the one on the cd/dvd might be out of date | 00:33 |
| runawayhacker | I'm using ubuntu 10.10 x64 with latest kernel. everytime I reboot I have to reinstall nvidia driver | 00:33 |

| runawayhacker | anyone else have this issue? | 00:33 |
| alphonso | i've been getting that | 00:34 |
| pooltable | mickster04 what do i click to get that info ? | 00:34 |
| alphonso | which nvidia card do you have? | 00:34 |
| drobole | runawayhacker: only in aptosid lol | 00:34 |
| runawayhacker | geforce 210 | 00:34 |
| runawayhacker | in 10.04 I would only have to do it when a new kernel came out | 00:34 |
| mickster04 | pooltable: uhm there should be a drop down above the list of games, it has the folder name in it already, click on that an it should show you where it is (ie all it's parent folders) | 00:34 |
| alphonso | runaway: i've been getting the same thing with an old ati driver | 00:34 |
| alphonso | runaway: what version of ubunto do you have? | 00:35 |
| tomasm- | man this screen flickering on the install is driving me nuts (NVidia GeForce6100)... how do i get it to go away? | 00:35 |
| Wicked | !java | 00:35 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 00:35 |
| runawayhacker | alphonso : I'm using latest official driver too | 00:35 |
| Wicked | !partner | 00:35 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 00:35 |
| alphonso | ruanawayhacker: have you tried removing some of the packages associated with the driver but not the driver itself? | 00:35 |
| runawayhacker | alphonso : such as? | 00:36 |
| alphonso | runawayhacker: not sure b/c i don't have your card... but for ati there is a catalyst control center | 00:36 |
| quietone | none of my cron jobs ran last night and I haven't found a clue as to why. It is like the machine was asleep. Does the mode show up in a log? | 00:36 |
| alphonso | runawayhacker: when i remove it, re-booting seems to be more reliable. | 00:36 |
| runawayhacker | alphonso : one time I did do a cleanup one time of everything - including open source drivers | 00:37 |
| bastidrazor | quietone: /var/log/syslog should show if cron ran or not. | 00:37 |
| alphonso | runawayhacker: no luck, huh? | 00:37 |

| itaylor57 | meowski: you will get better support in ##c | 00:42 |
| muelli | meowski: man gcc ;-) | 00:43 |
| meowski | thankks | 00:43 |
| kdog | why is it that certain apps like the software center and the image viewer don't have "quit" and just "close"? Seems like bad UI, the windows look the same. | 00:43 |
| drobole | meowski: gcc -o hello hello.c | 00:43 |

| joshua__ | no I havn't installed any extra's yet...I downloaded the ATI drivers but when I run the installer it tells me I have 0 free space left. it doesn't give me the option to choose an install location either. | 00:47 |
| drobole | tron101: check if the android... folder is in your hime dir | 00:48 |
| ActionParsnip | joshua__: run: sudo apt-get clean also remove openoffice and you wil free up a tonne of space | 00:48 |
| tron101 | so home infront of ~ wont work | 00:48 |
| Yadira | muelli:) It work fine that command,first when i run it work butn when close terminal it disapperar again,so i restart a Mualaa | 00:48 |

| \share | is there any application in ubuntu to convert MB to GB etc? | 00:49 |
| === Guest25292 is now known as ardchoille | ||
| pooltable | gnome 3 test how ? | 00:49 |
| milamber | sk_ what do you mean by panel? the panel should be visible on all desktops | 00:49 |
| pooltable | or use | 00:49 |
| ActionParsnip | alphonso: there is no lucid ppa on that server: http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu/dists/ | 00:49 |
| psusi | \share, umm... the calculator? | 00:50 |
| \share | psusi: but for this. | 00:50 |
| ActionParsnip | \share: in what output? | 00:50 |
| psusi | \share, huh? | 00:50 |
| \share | ActionParsnip: a tool to convert KB to MB MB to KB GB to KB . | 00:51 |
| \share | . | 00:51 |
| \share | etc | 00:51 |
| alphonso | actionparsnip: that is the server that the apt line seems to want to use.. not sure how to re-direct it | 00:51 |
| chibihogoshino | anyway i can switch bluetooth profiles ? like from headset to audio sync when i get a call and then back ? | 00:51 |
| psusi | \share, yea... use the calculator and multiply or divide by 1024 | 00:51 |
| SX486 | so, this question doesn't particularly pertain to ubuntu, but BasicLinux 3.5, I just don't know where else to go for help.. | 00:51 |
| \share | psusi: thats not what I want. | 00:51 |
| psusi | \share, then what do you want? | 00:52 |
| \share | psusi: read above | 00:52 |
| nameless` | SX486: don't ask to ask, just ask | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | \share: http://egret.net/kb__mb.htm | 00:52 |
| pooltable | /share what do you want? | 00:52 |
| \share | ActionParsnip: yeah I know that site lol I would like a tool (offline) | 00:52 |
| sk_ | milamber: so I have the default panel on a screen. I want to move it to another location, like on top instead of at the bottom; but ultimately to another screen without having to repopulate the a new panel with all the same buttons. Is this possible? | 00:52 |
| psusi | \share, what do you think I was answering? | 00:52 |
| alket | Hi, I just installed Firefox RC from mozilla daily ppa, after 20min my computer froze and i rebooted, but now it is promting me for password (even though i set it to autologin) and it is not recognising my password ?? | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | SX486: its based on slackware, try a slackware channel | 00:53 |
| iso3 | how do i determine what user a program is running under | 00:53 |
| nameless` | \share: can't you just use your head to divide or multiply per 100 ? | 00:53 |
| muelli | alket: maybe it just hibernated or so and asks you to unlock the screen..? | 00:53 |
| \share | nameless`: cant you just shut up | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | alket: boot to root recovery mode and reset your password there with: passwd foo replace foo with your username | 00:53 |
| muelli | iso3: i.e. ps aux | grep $program | 00:53 |
| Cody3290 | Is there a program to make softwarecenter download more quickly, or is there a way to make it download multiple files at once? | 00:53 |
| SX486 | Ok, so I'm on BasicLinux 3.5 and you can run X11R6, but there is no desktp so all of the X apps have to be run from one of the other terminlas (usually CTRL+ALT+F2), but I can't execute any of my apps beause I don't know what to say for display. | 00:53 |
| psusi | iso3, ps u | 00:53 |
| nameless` | iso3: ps, top, htop | 00:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: use torrents | 00:54 |
| alket | muelli: no, i rebooted several times then | 00:54 |
| Cody3290 | x.e | 00:54 |
| alket | ActionParsnip: how can i do that ? | 00:54 |
| Cody3290 | I meant from within the Software Center. I know how to torrent >.< | 00:54 |
| alphonso | actionparsnip: so are you saying I can ignore that error? | 00:54 |
| Cody3290 | Speaking of torrents: Is uTorrent better t han the one that comes with ubuntu? | 00:54 |
| drobole | SX486: try 0 | 00:54 |
| nameless` | \share: i'm just asking, give a little bit of context, is it for a bash script ? C program ? command line tool ? try to think a little bit before insulting anyone | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | \share: could make a script I guess | 00:54 |
| ActionParsnip | alket: hold shift at boot | 00:55 |
| Cody3290 | By which i mean "Transmission BitTorrent Program" | 00:55 |
| Cody3290 | Client, rather | 00:55 |
| bastidrazor | Cody3290: transmission or even deluge blows uTorrent out of the water | 00:55 |
| SX486 | And I only run it because it runs on my 486 | 00:55 |
| Cody3290 | Got it. | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | alphonso: there isn't support for Lucid on the PPA you added. | 00:55 |
| \share | nameless`: that wasn't a insult sorry if you got offended | 00:55 |
| milamber | sk_: in 10.04 the panel default is the top. when you switch workspaces the panel should be the same. to change the properties right click on the panel and then properties | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | SX486: its offtopic here, ask in a slackware channel | 00:55 |
| pooltable | qbittorrent use here | 00:55 |
| alket | ActionParsnip: Shift is not working ? | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | alket: hold it as soon as the system starts to boot, before the boot splash | 00:56 |
| pooltable | alket nedd a new keyboard? | 00:56 |
| pooltable | need | 00:56 |
| SX486 | ActionParsnip: Do you know of a Slackware channel? | 00:56 |
| visual1ce | i have my default browser set to google chrome in preferences -> preferred applications but for some reason, firefox is opening when i click on a link | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | SX486: ##slackware | 00:57 |
| nameless` | SX486: /j #slackware | 00:57 |
| alket | ActionParsnip: pooltable : I tried again, it is not working | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | SX486: #slackware would be a safe bet..... | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | alket: what is the output of: lsb_release -d please | 00:58 |
| mickster04 | visual1ce: that may be linked to the program the links are in, if you are clicking them in say xchat, it may well have it's own preferences for that | 00:58 |
| alket | ActionParsnip: I can't login, but my release is Ubuntu 10.10 | 00:58 |
| pooltable | alket what key? | 00:58 |
| visual1ce | evolution but even just .desktop url files | 00:58 |
| Cody3290 | When I scan for drivers, it tells me "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system." | 00:58 |
| Irreducibilis | How to use pure-ftpd? I dont understand the documentation | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | alket: shift will show grub, as soon as the system POST beeps, hold shift and don't let go | 00:59 |
| Irreducibilis | And like, I can access it, but it shows no files | 00:59 |
| Irreducibilis | shouldnt it show my home directory | 00:59 |
| Cody3290 | Filezilla is easier to use | 00:59 |
| drobole | whats the best IRC client for gnome (except irssi) | 00:59 |
| Cody3290 | o.o | 00:59 |
| Irreducibilis | drobole, Xchat | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: there is no single best app for anything | 00:59 |
| nameless` | drobole: xchat, i guess | 00:59 |
| Cody3290 | personally, drobole, I use chatzilla which is an addon for firefox | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: in any OS | 00:59 |
| drobole | not xchat-gnome? | 00:59 |
| Cody3290 | I find it more extensible than Xchat | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: none and all are best | 01:00 |
| Irreducibilis | Cody3290, but filezilla isn't a server | 01:00 |
| skullboy | how do i startx via gdm | 01:00 |
| pooltable | chatzilla here | 01:00 |
| Cody3290 | There is a server and client versions, if I'm not mistaken | 01:00 |
| drobole | Some are bad though | 01:00 |
| alphonso | actionparsnip: blasted I didn't upgrade to 10.10 b/c i heard they were going away from gnome - i didn't want to lose it. | 01:00 |
| Cody3290 | drobole: if you want something simple to use, use Xchat | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: your question is as intelligent as: "what is the best coloutr of the rainbow?" | 01:00 |
| alket | ActionParsnip: No its not working with shift, this is the third time im trying | 01:00 |
| Irreducibilis | Isn't there a GUI ftp server for linux? | 01:00 |
| Cody3290 | I guess he's asking for people's favorites | 01:00 |
| alket | pooltable: what do you mean with "what key" ? | 01:00 |
| Cody3290 | or what we reccoment | 01:00 |
| bastidrazor | nice | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | alket: if you are using grub2 which is default in maverick, you hold shift to see the grub menu | 01:01 |
| skullboy | how do i startx via gdm | 01:01 |
| drobole | ActionParsnip: Your wrong | 01:01 |
| Cody3290 | reccomend, rather | 01:01 |
| bastidrazor | skullboy: you don't | 01:01 |
| alket | ActionParsnip: So the chances are that I got malicious content by Mozilla Daily PPA ? | 01:01 |
| visual1ce | ya just checked again - preferred browser is set to google chrome but when i click on a html attachment or .desktop url file firefox opens the page | 01:01 |
| drobole | ActionParsnip: Your reply is recursively correct for any question | 01:01 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: its not, there is no single best app for anything. Each app has different abilities. Not all users requirements and tastes are identical so there will NEVER be a best | 01:01 |
| pooltable | alket what key is not working when you press it? | 01:01 |
| Irreducibilis | How to use pure-ftpd? I dont understand the documentation and when I access it, no files show up when it says its supposed to show my home | 01:02 |
| alket | pooltable: Shift of course as ActionParsnip suggested | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: so no, it only applys to "best" questions | 01:02 |
| skullboy | bastidrazor: i mean how do i get the x session to use gdm | 01:02 |
| visual1ce | well chrome/chromium is always better than firefox :P ff is clunky takes a heap of memory and its interface takes up way too much real estate | 01:02 |
| campee | i prefer ff | 01:02 |
| Cody3290 | i like firefox o.o | 01:02 |
| CoNFuS3D | anyone know why flash crashes so much on ubuntu? | 01:02 |
| drobole | ActionParsnip: You know I cant deny that | 01:02 |
| Irreducibilis | firefox has better/more addons | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | CoNFuS3D: possible conflict of plugins | 01:03 |
| campee | CoNFuS3D: the newest version of flash crashes frequently on all platforms. | 01:03 |
| pooltable | sorry did you tray caps lock then key then caps lock off? | 01:03 |
| visual1ce | ive never liked ff... its interface has always peeved me | 01:03 |
| campee | CoNFuS3D: it's a known issue with Adobe. | 01:03 |
| CoNFuS3D | oh, that sucks then | 01:03 |
| Cody3290 | Oh, Irreducibilis: http://filezilla-project.org/ | 01:03 |
| campee | CoNFuS3D: instead of closing your browser just try reloading the page. that tends to fix it. | 01:03 |
| visual1ce | chrome is so much faster | 01:03 |
| skullboy | CoNFuS3D: what version are you runing | 01:03 |
| Cody3290 | Filezilla has a server, but it's for windows only | 01:03 |
| Irreducibilis | Cody3290, It says the server is windows only | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: i know, hence why its a useless question. If youcan constrain it some with things you want the client to do then it is an intelligent question | 01:03 |
| CoNFuS3D | of flash, or ubuntu? | 01:03 |
| Cody3290 | So run it through wine? | 01:03 |
| Irreducibilis | I only care about the server part | 01:03 |
| campee | CoNFuS3D: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/flash-102-found-be-crashy | 01:03 |
| Cody3290 | ^ | 01:03 |
| Cody3290 | Run it through wine? | 01:03 |
| Irreducibilis | Wine? I'd rather have a native solution. | 01:04 |
| visual1ce | it does have some advantages though - like when i use firefox to chat here it plays a noise when someone addresses me | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | CoNFuS3D: try flash 10.3 | 01:04 |
| visual1ce | not in chrome | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | CoNFuS3D: its beta and I havent tested it fully yet but seems ok | 01:04 |
| visual1ce | but webchat loads so much faster in chrome | 01:04 |
| skullboy | CoNFuS3D: what version are you runing | 01:04 |
| Irreducibilis | And I was hoping someone could just help me with pure-ftpd | 01:04 |
| Cody3290 | True, native is always nice | 01:04 |
| CoNFuS3D | flash version 10.2 | 01:04 |
| Cody3290 | But this is the wrong channel, technically | 01:04 |
| drobole | ActionParsnip: In that case I'd rephrase to "Which gnome IRC clients are bad" | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | CoNFuS3D: if your OS is 64bit then you can try the 64bit flash ppa | 01:04 |
| Cody3290 | #ubuntu-offtopic would be better | 01:04 |
| JdGordon | any ideas why klogd will refuse to start if i have the / on a usb disk (the same filesystem works fine from a nfs mount). "start-stop-daemon: Unable to start /sbin/klogd: Permission denied (Permission denied)" permissions are fine though | 01:05 |
| Irreducibilis | Is there even anyone in there who can help? | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: none are bad, some have fewer features but if they give what is required then they are not bad are they | 01:05 |
| Cody3290 | There might be. | 01:05 |
| alket | ActionParsnip: I can log in with Ctrl+alt+ F1 with my current password , how can I kill the login screen ? | 01:05 |
| nameless` | drobole: flipping a stupid question doesn't make it intelligent :) | 01:05 |
| skullboy | jdgordon: sudo | 01:05 |
| Cody3290 | Never know unless you ask. | 01:05 |
| v3ctor | Irreducibilis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP | 01:05 |
| Cody3290 | Or wait long enough for someone to help you in here | 01:06 |
| JdGordon | skullboy: sudo is not needed in the boot script... | 01:06 |
| ActionParsnip | alket: I'd grab another keyboard, or try the other shift button# | 01:06 |
| Cody3290 | >.< | 01:06 |
| Jordan_U | drobole: If you insist on getting peoples opinions join #ubuntu-bots and ask "what is the best irc client"> | 01:06 |
| Cody3290 | lol | 01:06 |
| JdGordon | gnome is also refusing to start, dont know why... * Starting GNOME Display Manager... [fail] | 01:06 |
| pooltable | is it the sso login? | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: why not try a few for YOURSELF and evaluate. You are using an OS which promotes freedom and choice, yet you wade into an irc channel and ask strangers what you should use. Smacks of Microsoft don't you think?? | 01:07 |
| drobole | Jordan_U: A bad client is a client with bugs and lacking userfriendlyness. I just didnt care to spell it out | 01:07 |
| twiztid | hey all, so wats the news on the 2d unity QT working with compiz??? | 01:07 |
| skullboy | jdgordon: ohh right so what is the prob again | 01:07 |
| Jordan_U | drobole: Your question is not going to be answered here. Please accept that and move on. | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: userfriendliness is entirely tangiable from user to user. One person's easy is another person's hard | 01:08 |
| drobole | ActionParsnip: I'm not convinced you know who you are taking to either tbo | 01:08 |
| twiztid | i have would like to try out unity on my maverick install but am wondering how well it plays with compiz? | 01:08 |
| skullboy | jdgordon: ohh right so what is the prob again | 01:08 |
| tjholowaychuk | k so I re-installed, restarted, and I still end up in the tty :( | 01:08 |
| JdGordon | skullboy: trying to boot this ubuttu FS from a usb key (it works fine booting from NFS). | 01:08 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: it doesn't matter who you are as it doesn't affect the fact that you are asking questions which cannot be answered due to too many factors | 01:09 |
| drobole | ActionParsnip: I got many interresting answers | 01:09 |
| LegndarySnake | hello! | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | drobole: great :) | 01:09 |
| skullboy | jdgordon: ext4???? | 01:09 |
| JdGordon | ext3 | 01:09 |
| visual1ce | drobole is a troll man | 01:09 |
| LegndarySnake | 1st time ubuntu user | 01:10 |
| LegndarySnake | this os rocks | 01:10 |
| Cody3290 | Me too, lol | 01:10 |
| JdGordon | skullboy: filesystem came from untarring stright to a clean ext3 partition as sudo | 01:10 |
| visual1ce | congrats legendary and cody | 01:10 |
| Cody3290 | Wait | 01:10 |
| visual1ce | don't you feel all warm and fuzzy? | 01:10 |
| Cody3290 | Does it count? I've been usingit for over 4 hours | 01:10 |
| visual1ce | :P | 01:10 |
| tomasm- | is there anything extra i need to do to get mp3 and avi files working in ubuntu? i'm installing the 'restricted-extras' package now... anything else? | 01:10 |
| Cody3290 | They should work already | 01:10 |
| drobole | visualice: so asking which IRC client ppl here think is best is really that unforgivvable? | 01:10 |
| LegndarySnake | @visua1ce yes it is quite toasty | 01:10 |
| Cody3290 | Mine are working fine o.o | 01:10 |
| nameless` | tomasm-: it should work out-of-the-box | 01:10 |
| visual1ce | 4 hours... i'd say ur ubumtu virginity has officially been broken | 01:10 |
| visual1ce | :P | 01:11 |
| Cody3290 | Aw | 01:11 |
| Cody3290 | I feel soiled now | 01:11 |
| GringoStar | Hi, I'm using ubuntu 8.10, I was trying to install my video driver (nvidia 96) but my kernel was not up to date so during reboot DKMS is trying to auto-install but can't find the kernel 2.6.34 (I'm still using 2.6.30) My question is If I install the newest kernel would it work or I need to install the older 2.6.34.X and what should be the last number (not specified by the nvidia driver)? | 01:11 |
| pooltable | tomasm a player like vlc | 01:11 |
| Cody3290 | yet somehow, clean, at the same time | 01:11 |
| Cody3290 | It's an odd fealing. | 01:11 |
| Cody3290 | feeling ,rather. | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | tomasm-: if you install vlc and gnome-mplayer it will pull in a tonne of codecs. You can also add the w32codecs package from medibuntu repo to maybe get what you need | 01:11 |
| Jonii | Hey, do you guys know what's the in-depth linux guide named? | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | GringoStar: intrepid isn't supported anynmore in any way | 01:11 |

| ubottu | Jonii: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 01:12 |
| JdGordon | skullboy: yes | 01:12 |
| Jonii | There was this one guide that was supposed to teach you all there is to know about linux, but I lost the url | 01:12 |
| pooltable | any have a usb 3.0 drive if so what are the read wright speeds? | 01:12 |
| GringoStar | Thanks anyway... | 01:12 |

| Cody3290 | How do I enable my firewall again? | 01:13 |
| JdGordon | skullboy: I have a fully working filesystem which was booted over NFS. I tarred it and untarred it to the usb disk and fixed the kernel boot command to mount the usb instead of nfs, gnome and klogd wont start, nothing else has changed from the working configuration | 01:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Jonii: read the manpage for mencoder, imagine the possibilities just by that one command | 01:14 |

| skullboy | jdgordon: what boot loader are you useing on the flash drive | 01:16 |
| LegndarySnake | now Im thinking I should have partioned my windows pc instead of put ubuntu on an external | 01:16 |
| LegndarySnake | im ashamed | 01:16 |
| JdGordon | skullboy: u-boot... this is an arm board | 01:16 |
| Cody3290 | iflema: thank you | 01:16 |
| JdGordon | which is irrelevant because the filesystem is the only thing that was moved, same kernel loading | 01:17 |

| mickster04 | aborticide: our? | 01:45 |

| aborticide | mickster04: well i figure i'll report back to you every couple of hours and let you know how it goes | 01:45 |

| aborticide | i'm pretty sure no means no when it comes to women | 01:46 |
| mickster04 | aborticide: you still need the video though | 01:46 |

| mickster04 | red2kic: nice analogy | 01:46 |

| Cody3290 | oh. | 01:48 |
| mickster04 | aborticide: ok, well i dunno if it can, that's all, what happened when you set the gif as the background | 01:48 |
| nameless` | aborticide: you want to test your gif ? | 01:48 |
| Cody3290 | THank you, red2kic | 01:48 |
| aborticide | nameless`: yes, but i don't have VLC installed, the problem is if VLC can play gifs, not if it can play gifs as background mode | 01:48 |
| aborticide | it can play anything as wallpaper that it can play in normal mode | 01:48 |
| aborticide | and my background mode i mean wallpaper mode | 01:49 |

| ActionParsnip | aborticide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=5 has a good example | 01:55 |
| mickster04 | recognosce yeah mostly they say that chrome is faster lighter etc? it may not have as many extensions but then most people don't mind | 01:56 |
| mickster04 | nm | 01:56 |
| nameless` | SimonPHOENIX: /home is rwxr-xr-x that is to say 755, so you just have to chmod 311 to drop the r | 01:56 |

| battles | I'm new to this software and don't know my way around it yet. What I'm wanting to do is disable the need to enter a password everytime you install or change something | 02:06 |
| \share | battles: you should not. | 02:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sougata_: that'll need quotes | 02:07 |
| \share | battles: thats why linux is secure. you can change the timeout though | 02:07 |
| battles | understandable | 02:07 |
| sougata_ | ActionParsnip, :-) | 02:07 |
| battles | how do I change the timeout | 02:07 |
| \share | battles: default timeout is 10 minutes | 02:07 |
| \share | battles: w8 | 02:07 |
| \share | battles: sudo visudo | 02:08 |

| ActionParsnip | sougata_: well its gonna add useless stuff to the file :D | 02:08 |
| battles | ok | 02:08 |
| \share | battles: it will open it in nano then use the arrows to find the line that says Defaults env_reset | 02:08 |
| AnubArack | \share, are you reffering to the "key" icon in the notification area? | 02:09 |
| battles | ok found that | 02:09 |
| \share | AnubArack: what? | 02:09 |
| sougata_ | ActionParsnip yes | 02:09 |
| hiexpo | hola all | 02:10 |
| \share | battles: now go to end of that line and add timestamp_timeout=X (X is the number in minutes you want) | 02:10 |

| \share | battles: use the arrows to naviagte | 02:10 |

| \share | look | 02:11 |
| hiexpo | Logan_, i am not spanish lol > but give you that that was quick | 02:11 |
| Logan_ | hiexpo: haha, sorry | 02:11 |
| \share | battles: you just change the number of timeout 10 minutes is the defaut and that is a lot of time........ I use 1 minute. | 02:11 |
| Habstinat | For some reason something related to the bottom application switching bar crashed, and now I can't switch between apps via the bottom bar. Rebooting didn't fix it. Any ideas? | 02:11 |

| endafy | iRabbit: see my PM | 02:20 |
| endafy | it is a quick fix but it gets you to X | 02:20 |
| Elitestatus | sougata_: modprobe -r r8187 it was allready added... | 02:20 |

| endafy | it will work | 02:21 |
| Elitestatus | is the driver like impossible to black list? | 02:21 |
| sougata_ | Elitestatus, I am not sure why its loading | 02:22 |
| endafy | BUT it wont load any proper resolution it gives some messed up ones like 1024x768 and 1360x768 | 02:22 |
| endafy | you know the default vanilla ones | 02:22 |
| Elitestatus | anyone know how i stop the r8187 drivers and let the newwer drivers kick in?!?!? | 02:23 |
| sougata_ | Elitestatus, you have to reboot after doing that | 02:23 |

| sougata_ | Elitestatus, :-) , may be because of some other module . | 02:30 |

| Cody3290 | doesn't seem like there's very many people | 02:31 |
| sougata_ | Elitestatus, just find out what modules you have to remove. I am sure there is nothing wrong in the way you are removing it | 02:31 |
| mickster04 | Cody3290: netslpit perhaps? | 02:31 |
| bc81 | Kalmic: gnome-volume-control: no process found (do you have this process running by default?) | 02:31 |

| ubottu | Unguided: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 02:38 |
| rww | Logan_: The language rules are subordinate to common sense ;P | 02:38 |

| Logan_ | !ot | distante | 02:39 |
| ubottu | distante: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 02:39 |
| Unguided | Logan: is there something similar to webmin that a newb can use to get an ubuntu server up and running quickly? | 02:39 |
| mickster04 | Logan_: harsh? | 02:39 |
| Logan_ | mickster04: no | 02:39 |
| mickster04 | Logan_: has he been around a while then? | 02:40 |
| Logan_ | Unguided: some alternatives are listed here: http://alternativeto.net/software/webmin/ | 02:40 |
| sk_ | jrib: reading lengthy code could be an issue, but I want to put a different theme on ubuntu. is the only site with an existing repository the link-site from the appearance preferences? | 02:40 |

| jrib | sk_: I don't know what you are asking now. But it should be ok to use the ppa, I would use it on my desktop system if I was interested in the theme | 02:42 |
| x3cion | Unguided: despite the unsupported status of webmin, i used it successfully on several ubuntu servers. you should try it out before judging it, unlike others. | 02:42 |
| phaedo | Unguided: You can always search youtube, someone might have posted what you search for.. | 02:43 |

| aroman | hey, I'm working on an ubuntu based linux distro. When I change /etc/lsb-release to be custom to this distro, it breaks most of apt/package management. It tries to look for repositories with the name of my distro, not with maverick. However, if I use "maverick", other things do not display correctly. How can I fix this? | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | KimLaroux: use a pastebin to give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash Thanks | 02:45 |
| twiztid | ActionParsnip: oh sorry, I was wanting to spread the news about a fix for new ubuntu 10.10 installs causing 5 to 10 second screen flickering that was posted 6 days ago and COMPLETELY fixed it ANNND effects to still work! =) Apparently it affects quite a few people and so post #7 and #8 from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/665233?comments=all solves it!!! so happy now!!! =) | 02:47 |

| twiztid | so anyone that freshly installed 10.10 and has a 5 to 10 second screen flickering the fix is 6 days old!!! | 02:48 |
| sk_ | jrib: thank you! as a curiosity question, how many repositories do you link on you cpu? what ones? how do you check them? do you read their code? (could I check with you to verify repositories that are concerning?) Do you give control of your system to any repository you add? | 02:48 |

| airtonix | phaedo: hp mini 311 | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kenesis: do you mean the large icon bar? | 03:12 |
| rebirth | what is meant by "add something to the path" | 03:12 |
| kenesis | yeah ActionParsnip | 03:12 |
| airtonix | rebirth: it means append a path to the $PATH environ variable | 03:12 |
| phaedo | airtonix: oh, okay. what games can you play? | 03:12 |
| airtonix | rebirth: research the ubuntu help page on environment variables | 03:12 |
| ActionParsnip | rebirth: PATH is a list of folders searched by the interpretter for commands when you type a command. You can see the current list with: echo $PATH | 03:12 |
| mean | phaedo:is there any features cut down? | 03:13 |
| kenesis | i wanna just use cairo dock not this ugly thing to my right | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | phaedo: try urban terror, or penumbra | 03:13 |
| kenesis | left* | 03:13 |
| tensorpudding | it's really obnoxious that this game gave me a ring of slaying but not a single usable weapon by d:10 | 03:13 |
| airtonix | phaedo: does it matter? the point is a netbook isn't some kiosk that only deals with the most basic of user operations. | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | kenesis: log off, log into the normal desktop and it won't run. You are currently in the unity desktop | 03:13 |
| Cody3290 | Does anyone here know which periodic table program is the best to use for a student in AP Chem? | 03:13 |

| ActionParsnip | kenesis: you can customize the regular desktop more | 03:18 |

| cryptopsy | like an institution that certifies it | 03:19 |
| ziesemer | How can I view the source of a man page using man? (I have a <programName>.8 file in a source distribution, but it never seems to be "installed" anywhere.) I.E., how can I just get "man" to open a file by name (instead of all the path searching, etc.)? | 03:19 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptopsy: canonical maybe? | 03:19 |

| ActionParsnip | kenesis: its default in natty, but the normal desktop is available | 03:21 |

| ActionParsnip | cryptopsy: endorse usually means, back or support. | 03:22 |
| kenesis | ActionParsnip, im on a netbook so i get a bit of xtra space and i like the layout of the app menu, i just dont like the app tray | 03:22 |
| cryptopsy | yea but endorse doesn't mean technical support | 03:22 |
| kenesis | i like it more than the desktop | 03:22 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptopsy: dell put ubuntu on their systems, if thats what you mean... | 03:22 |
| cryptopsy | ActionParsnip: yea that's one form of endorse, but not really since it was optional | 03:22 |
| cryptopsy | and most people chose windows | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | kenesis: you can boot to regular desktop and add what you like | 03:23 |
| SoulPropagation | So my hard drive says it's full even though du -x / says it's only using 90gb (on a 250gb drive). df says /dev/mapper/***********-root has 2.1mb free... where's the other >100gb going and how can I get it back? | 03:23 |

| cryptopsy | overhead | 03:23 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptopsy: just because its optional doesn't make it any less | 03:23 |
| === paijo is now known as blackshirt | ||
| cryptopsy | ActionParsnip: no, but getting offended makes you less | 03:23 |
| kenesis | ActionParsnip, lol i know you said that. but how would i get all the feature from the netbook one that i like | 03:23 |
| tc2k11 | hi, if i wanted help for postfix on ubuntu, where would i ask | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptopsy: don't tell users to websearch without giving some help. Technically EVERY question can be answered using research | 03:24 |
| Gent | does is there a really up to date PPA for gnome3 / gnome-shell? | 03:24 |
| cryptopsy | ActionParsnip: no this is one of those common ones like 'how can i see CPU usage' | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptopsy: when was I offended? | 03:24 |
| HalfAWolf | How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? | 03:24 |
| cryptopsy | ActionParsnip: you changed the question about endorsement to about ubuntu not being less | 03:24 |
| HalfAWolf | I'm all set up with a new HP Photosmart Premium C310a | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptopsy: people ask a range of questions in here dude | 03:24 |
| cryptopsy | i never said it was less because dell sells more machines with windows on it | 03:24 |
| HalfAWolf | The drivers on Ubuntu 10.10 worked, but I updated them from the hplipopensource.com website in an attempt to get full resolution printing. | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptopsy: no, I meant less endorsed just because its optional | 03:24 |
| HalfAWolf | If I go to printer properties, under "Job Options" there is a "printer-resolution" field under the advanced options, it contains the text "(unknown IPP tag)" and I've tried changing it, but when I press apply, it gets set back to (unknown IPP tag). | 03:24 |
| cryptopsy | you felt the need to take the conversation in that direction | 03:24 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptopsy: keep the context in mind and what I say will make sense | 03:24 |
| josh_ritger | how do I reset my mouse settings to defaults | 03:24 |
| HalfAWolf | I had the same 1200 dpi limitation with the HP Officejet 6500A that we bought and returned (didn't like the colour rendition of its photo printing), so I am guessing that's the default limit Linux uses when it doesn't know what it should be. | 03:24 |
| Cody3290 | how do I use a .install file? | 03:25 |
| HalfAWolf | This printer is supposed to be able to do 9600 x 2400 dpi for colour prints, how can I get Ubuntu to let me? | 03:25 |
| cryptopsy | ActionParsnip: you can't even say its less endorsed because of that, windows has a longer history | 03:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: what sort of file does: file say it is, the file extension tells you very little in ubuntu | 03:25 |
| rww | cryptopsy: My apologies, it appears that when cleaning up my bans, I accidentally removed the one you requested. | 03:26 |
| Cody3290 | it says plain text document | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | cryptopsy: ctually Linux was released 2 years prior to Windows | 03:26 |
| Cody3290 | I'm trying to install numptyphysics | 03:26 |
| Cody3290 | thewebsite gave me a .install file | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: what does the top line of the file say? | 03:26 |
| Cody3290 | [install] | 03:27 |
| * ActionParsnip was wondering when s/he'd leave | 03:27 | |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: can you pastebin the file if it's not huge | 03:27 |
| Cody3290 | How do I do that? | 03:28 |
| Cody3290 | just copy-paste? | 03:28 |
| Cody3290 | It's only 8 lines, including blank lines | 03:28 |
| rww | Cody3290: to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ or a similar site, not here, yes. | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: www.pastie.org copy the content of the file and paste it there | 03:28 |
| SoulPropagation | So my hard drive says it's full even though du -x / says it's only using 90gb (on a 250gb drive). df says /dev/mapper/***********-root has 2.1mb free... where's the other >100gb going and how can I get it back? (Re-asking now that cryptopsy is gone >.>) | 03:28 |
| Diamondcite | SoulPropagation: How big is that particular partition? | 03:29 |
| Cody3290 | http://www.pastie.org/1654157 | 03:29 |
| HalfAWolf | Can anyone help me? | 03:29 |
| SoulPropagation | 221G | 03:29 |
| HalfAWolf | How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? | 03:29 |
| Cody3290 | Ahh, i have another question as well as the .install one | 03:29 |
| Cody3290 | When i try to install GPeriodic, i get "Requires installation of untrusted packages" | 03:29 |
| Cody3290 | and it won't let me install | 03:30 |
| Diamondcite | SoulPropagation: So in "df -h" is 221G 90G 2.1M ? | 03:30 |
| SoulPropagation | no 221G 210G 2.1M | 03:30 |
| Diamondcite | That 10G is reserved space | 03:30 |
| b0g4nk1d | @cody3290 what won't install? | 03:30 |
| Diamondcite | Originally the Ext filesystem reserved 5% of a partition for system critical tasks. | 03:30 |
| SoulPropagation | Right but du -xh / gives 86G / | 03:31 |
| Cody3290 | GPeriodic | 03:31 |
| Cody3290 | "GPeriodic is a small X/GTK+-based program which allows you to browse through a periodic table of chemical elements, and view somewhat detailed information on each of the elements. 118 elements are currently listed." | 03:31 |
| Diamondcite | SoulPropagation: If you want that space back.. you can use tune2fs to change an option I think.. But I won't recommend such an action on your system drive. | 03:31 |
| Diamondcite | SoulPropagation: Also things done with sudo can temporary ignore running out of space by using that reserved space. | 03:32 |
| SoulPropagation | Diamondcite: I don't mind having 5% reserved. I'm wondering why du -x says / is only using 86G, but df says / is using 210 | 03:32 |
| bob__693 | Cody3290: GPeriodic has an error in melting point of Neon | 03:33 |
| SoulPropagation | Where's the other 115GB going? | 03:33 |
| Diamondcite | SoulPropagation: I'm not sure what the -x option means.. (checks man) | 03:33 |
| SoulPropagation | -x means ignore my usb hdd | 03:33 |
| Cody3290 | I'll try one of the other periodictales then | 03:33 |
| Cody3290 | thanks | 03:33 |
| SoulPropagation | single filesystem | 03:33 |
| Cody3290 | tables* | 03:33 |
| HalfAWolf | Can anyone help me? | 03:33 |
| HalfAWolf | How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? | 03:33 |
| Diamondcite | SoulPropagation: No idea.. I tend to do something like... df -h /home to check one partition | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | HalfAWolf: what printer make and model? | 03:34 |
| mrdebuntu | when is libroffice comign to ubuntu 1004 | 03:34 |

| HalfAWolf | HP Photosmart Premium C310a | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdebuntu: you can have it now if you like? | 03:34 |
| HalfAWolf | The drivers on Ubuntu 10.10 worked, but I updated them from the hplipopensource.com website in an attempt to get full resolution printing. | 03:34 |
| HalfAWolf | If I go to printer properties, under "Job Options" there is a "printer-resolution" field under the advanced options, it contains the text "(unknown IPP tag)" and I've tried changing it, but when I press apply, it gets set back to (unknown IPP tag). | 03:34 |
| mrdebuntu | ActionParsnip: it needs to be in the depots | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | HalfAWolf: grab the latest hplip and it may help | 03:34 |
| HalfAWolf | I had the same 1200 dpi limitation with the HP Officejet 6500A that we bought and returned (didn't like the colour rendition of its photo printing), so I am guessing that's the default limit Linux uses when it doesn't know what it should be. | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdebuntu: you mean repos... | 03:35 |
| mrdebuntu | yes depots | 03:35 |
| craigbass1976 | I've got an crm question... What's out there besides sugar; something in the repos. I've hunted and haven't found one yet. Basically I want to set up an email filter, like I do in thunderbird, and then be able to keep ongoing notes on each of the addresses I set up filters for. | 03:35 |

| HalfAWolf | ActionParsnip I updated them from the hplipopensource.com website | 03:35 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdebuntu: its a REPO (short for repository), not a depot | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | HalfAWolf: i see, hmmmm | 03:36 |
| slash0mega | can someone help me install sun java | 03:36 |
| Cody3290 | the heck...? | 03:36 |
| SoulPropagation | Diamondcite: I think LVM resizes the swap on the fly so maybe my minecraft server has gone bananners and ate all my space? | 03:36 |
| Cody3290 | All the period table programs I try to dl give me the same popup | 03:36 |
| ActionParsnip | mrdebuntu: if you remove openoffice completely, you can then run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 03:36 |

| Improv | Hey all; is there an easy way to configure a system running Ubuntu 10.10 to do NAT+DHCP? | 03:42 |
| Diamondcite | BlackWeb: Consider trying 10.10 in a liveCD before upgrading then? | 03:42 |
| BlackWeb | last version i tried was 9.10 and 10.04 and ran into a | 03:42 |

| Diamondcite | btw.. what are templates? ^_^ | 03:43 |
| BlackWeb | ya saved all the program packages need to upgrade | 03:43 |
| ActionParsnip | BlackWeb: yes you will need to install a supported release. I suggest Lucid or later as Karmic and hardy die next month (Hardy on the desktop, server will still be supported) | 03:44 |
| noremorse1 | anyone have experience joining ubuntu to an active directory domain... i am having some difficulties | 03:44 |
| Improv | Is there a quick and easy way to configure a system running Ubuntu 10.10 to do NAT+DHCP? | 03:44 |
| Cody3290 | ActionParsnip: http://www.pastie.org/1654186 no, thank you for helping >.< | 03:44 |
| jmwpc | I need help with a wireless card. My Vaio has a switch to turn the internal card on and off, it's kind of flakey so I am trying to use a pcmcia card (linksys wpc54g). Ubuntu will only recognize the linksys card when the internal card is switched on. | 03:44 |
| BlackWeb | I noticed that on some distributions i tried then if you right click on screen it gives options like create shell documents and ubuntu 8.10 then it says no templates installed | 03:44 |
| BlackWeb | so downloaded templates for 8.04 cause wasnt any for 8.10 and wondering how to install them | 03:45 |
| phaedo | noremorese1: lookup Likewise | 03:45 |
| mrdebuntu | is there a reason icons would be corrupt with straight lines when booting into desktop with ati, but the logging out and restarting x fixes them | 03:45 |
| sporedi | how do i check that which are file are in use and which files are copyed /used in memory | 03:45 |
| noremorse1 | phaedo... i am a bit more advanced than that | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: try changing server in software sources | 03:45 |
| BlackWeb | on the internet it just says to copy the downloaded file to /vz/template/cache but dont know what its talking about | 03:45 |
| phaedo | ok... | 03:45 |
| noremorse1 | and i am all the way there... i am just getting a message that it cannot see the domain controller | 03:45 |
| yangzhu | 123445 | 03:45 |
| noremorse1 | but when i run net ads lookup dc | 03:46 |
| noremorse1 | it pulls all the DC info | 03:46 |

| Diamondcite | BlackWeb: What are these templates for? office documents? Selective file types? Cookie cutters? | 03:46 |
| BlackWeb | OpenVz is that a program i need to install templates | 03:46 |
| Improv | Action: Thanks! | 03:47 |
| BlackWeb | like shell documents and things like that, I've used other distributions that are like that but ubunt 8.10 isnt when i go to create document after i right click says no templates installed | 03:47 |
| Cody3290 | ActionParsnip: I'm not sure what you mean...? | 03:47 |
| hayden | in windows with CMD you can type ipconfig to see ur ip\DNS name and soforth, anything similar to that in ubuntu? | 03:47 |
| HalfAWolf | How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? | 03:48 |
| noremorse1 | ifconfig | 03:48 |
| noremorse1 | hayden | 03:48 |
| BlackWeb | mainly just a little nicer, setup is what i'm hoping to get setup | 03:48 |
| HalfAWolf | Can anyone help me? | 03:48 |
| Improv | HalfAWolf: Ask your question, don't ask to ask :) | 03:48 |
| BlackWeb | I'ved download a template at http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/template/precreated | 03:48 |
| HalfAWolf | Improv: I did ask my question | 03:49 |
| hayden | noremorse1, allright thanks :) | 03:49 |
| noremorse1 | phaedo: i can resolve by hostname and ip... and i went so far as to define my DC in the /etc/hosts | 03:49 |
| noremorse1 | but it still will not see the DC | 03:49 |
| BlackWeb | but starting to wonder if i need Openvz is what its starting to look like in order to install | 03:49 |
| BlackWeb | the templates | 03:49 |
| Diamondcite | BlackWeb: Open a terminal please, when you ls /vz do you see anything? | 03:49 |
| HalfAWolf | Improv: I said How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? | 03:49 |
| BlackWeb | which have no clue about openvz or what it actuall does | 03:49 |
| Diamondcite | BlackWeb: If you have no idea what it does... why are you trying it ^_^ | 03:49 |
| Improv | HalfAWolf: With the right printer and software configuration, it should be possible; I'd verify the printer and then look at your print driver. | 03:49 |
| Phobix | Hey all, I have a quick networking question. | 03:50 |
| HalfAWolf | I'm all set up with a new HP Photosmart Premium C310a | 03:50 |
| HalfAWolf | The drivers on Ubuntu 10.10 worked, but I updated them from the hplipopensource.com website in an attempt to get full resolution printing. | 03:50 |
| HalfAWolf | If I go to printer properties, under "Job Options" there is a "printer-resolution" field under the advanced options, it contains the text "(unknown IPP tag)" and I've tried changing it, but when I press apply, it gets set back to (unknown IPP tag). | 03:50 |
| BlackWeb | just says ls: cannot access /vz: No such file or directory "and tried running as sudo" | 03:50 |
| HalfAWolf | I had the same 1200 dpi limitation with the HP Officejet 6500A that we bought and returned (didn't like the colour rendition of its photo printing), so I am guessing that's the default limit Linux uses when it doesn't know what it should be. | 03:50 |
| HalfAWolf | This printer is supposed to be able to do 9600 x 2400 dpi for colour prints, how can I get Ubuntu to let me? | 03:50 |
| Phobix | so I am trying to get synergy going on two ubuntu machines | 03:50 |
| Phobix | not having great luck | 03:50 |
| Phobix | when I go to places>network | 03:51 |
| BlackWeb | lol, just want to get the templates installed and after downloaded the 8.04 templates have no clue on how to use or install them and openvz is looking like what i need | 03:51 |
| Phobix | they dont see each other | 03:51 |
| Improv | BlackWeb: Do you know what OpenVZ does? | 03:51 |
| Phobix | but I can ping them via terminal, but not network tools | 03:51 |
| b0g4nk1d | got a bit of a question myself | 03:51 |
| BlackWeb | No, is it a program to install templates | 03:51 |
| Improv | OpenVZ is not a program to install templates. | 03:51 |
| b0g4nk1d | how do i list all the packages I have installed on my computer by installation dates? | 03:51 |
| Improv | Go lookup OpenVZ on Wikipedia; it is used to virtualise Linux instances. | 03:52 |
| Diamondcite | ..Blackweb Those templates are to be placed at the specified folder /vz/cache/templates and it should just show up the next time openvz starts... isn't it? | 03:52 |
| BlackWeb | mainly trying to install templates cause on some distributions then when i right click on screen and create document other distribtuions have alot of options and my 8.10 just says no templates installed | 03:52 |
| Phobix | anyone in here running synergy on ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | b0g4nk1d: /var/log/dpkg.log may help | 03:52 |
| Diamondcite | BlackWeb: Right click where? | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Phobix: what is it? | 03:52 |
| Phobix | ActionParsnip: I cant get the client to see the server at all | 03:53 |
| craigbass1976 | If my jre lives in /usr/java, how do I get that in my path to run programs with it? | 03:53 |
| b0g4nk1d | thanks - what format are the dates in for the logfile | 03:53 |
| b0g4nk1d | i need to grep for a certain date | 03:53 |
| Phobix | in fact, I cant really get the two computers to see each other at all | 03:53 |
| hayden | i want to be able to acsess my bell roughters software. like go to my web browser and type in the ip and stuff. anyone know how i can get that ip in ubuntu? | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Phobix: can you ping the remote system? | 03:53 |
| Phobix | I can | 03:53 |
| BlackWeb | on blank screen, but ya that directory isnt there, but need to install the openvz folder, which wasnt sure before but i'll give it a try and test it out | 03:53 |
| Phobix | by name and IP | 03:53 |
| HalfAWolf | Can anyone help me? | 03:53 |
| HalfAWolf | How do I print above 1200 pixels per inch ? | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Phobix: and can you telnet to the synergy socket? | 03:53 |
| Cody3290 | It's fixed | 03:53 |
| Phobix | but only via terminal using .local | 03:53 |
| Cody3290 | though Idon't know how o.o | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: swwt :) | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: did you change server? | 03:54 |
| Phobix | ActionParsnip: thats a bit above my head tbh =/ | 03:54 |
| Phobix | tell me hwo and I will try it | 03:54 |
| Phobix | how* | 03:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Phobix: socket == IP + port number | 03:54 |
| Phobix | I see | 03:54 |
| Phobix | so from the client try to telnet into the server socket? | 03:55 |
| Elitestatus | hey guys | 03:55 |
| Cody3290 | wow | 03:55 |
| Cody3290 | I typed it all in the wrong window | 03:55 |
| Cody3290 | No, i didn't do anything | 03:55 |
| Cody3290 | <Cody3290>didn't press or change anything, it just started working again | 03:55 |
| Cody3290 | <Cody3290>I got GPeriodic installed | 03:55 |
| Cody3290 | <Cody3290>Melting point of neon isn't a very big deal, I'm never gonna use it in my classes, so.. | 03:55 |
| Elitestatus | i've reformated ubuntu, seeing if itl work with my alfa | 03:55 |
| FloodBot1 | Cody3290: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Phobix: so if you install a telnet client you can run: telnet hostname port does it connect? | 03:55 |
| Diamondcite | BlackWeb: Try /var/lib/vz/template/cache | 03:55 |
| Cody3290 | Pleh, sorry. | 03:55 |
| Phobix | let me install it real quick, hold on | 03:55 |
| Diamondcite | BlackWeb: I am not sure if this is relevant to you, http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-and-using-openvz-on-ubuntu-8.10 | 03:56 |
| BlackWeb | alright one sec, cause ya wasnt sure if i needed to install openvz but i"ll try it | 03:56 |
| Cody3290 | Next question! How do I use "tarballs" | 03:56 |
| Elitestatus | ActionParsnip: do you think itl reconise the alfa without installing the same driver from the website? | 03:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Phobix: seems to use port 24800 by default | 03:56 |
| Cody3290 | and what is the difference between tar.gz and tar.bz2 | 03:56 |
| HalfAWolf | I have another question while I'm in here... do packages that you download, then install in the terminal, show up in the package manager, or any other list? | 03:56 |
| Improv | Cody: They're compressed using different compression software. | 03:56 |
| Improv | .tar.gz is compressed with gzip, .tar.bz2 is compressed with bzip2 | 03:57 |
| Lasivian | are there any common viruses floating around that I should be concerned about in .deb files? thanks | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: they both start life as .tar but are compressed differently, gzip for .gz and bzip for .bz2 | 03:57 |
| Phobix | ActionParsnip: yea | 03:57 |
| Phobix | its really strange though | 03:57 |
| Improv | Cody: Gnu tar can compress/decompress both .gz and .bz2 files | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Phobix: so it connects with telnet? | 03:57 |
| Phobix | I can ping them, but I dont see the machines, or anything in my places>network | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Improv: so can unp ;) | 03:57 |
| HalfAWolf | I had installed a copy of vmware a couple months ago, and configured it, but by the time I got a system image to actually use with the thing, it says it's no longer correctly configured | 03:57 |
| Improv | tar xjf decompresses .tar.bz2, tar xzf decompresses .tar.gz files | 03:57 |
| Phobix | no, it doesnt | 03:57 |
| Phobix | timeout | 03:57 |
| BlackWeb | Dont have that directory on system, so I'll try installing openvz and see if that helps | 03:57 |
| Cody3290 | Great, so, how do I use them? | 03:58 |
| maco | Lasivian: anyone can make a deb file and put it up on the internet, so use caution when getting them from random people. the ones in the ubuntu repository, however, are made by a small set of people who have spent a long while building trust within the community until they finally were voted upon by one of the developer membership boards and given upload access | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: Improv: you can decompress both without having to remember that junk with: unp filename | 03:58 |
| Diamondcite | BlackWeb: Why install openvz.. what do you want to do... | 03:58 |
| HalfAWolf | I looked up the problem, and it looks like it might be some buggyboo with vmware that will make me reconfigure every time I use it, so I thought I'd try a fresh install | 03:58 |
| itai1 | hi, i installed openvpn and been using the vpn once in a while with no problems, starting today i cant acess the internet WITHOUT using the VPN, it must have changed some of my config files but I dont know where to start , can anyone help? | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: unp is optional so you will need to install it, it will also handle zip, tar and other archives | 03:58 |
| Cody3290 | Example: Current Predicament: I download AssaultCube. It gives me "AssaultCube_v1.1.0.4.tar.bz2" | 03:58 |
| HalfAWolf | but I want to make sure the old one is cleanly removed first | 03:59 |
| Improv | unp is probably Ubuntu-specific; it's probably better to use software common to all Unices so your knowledge is more portable. | 03:59 |
| Cody3290 | Now what do I do with that file? | 03:59 |
| Lasivian | maco: yeah, this isn;t from the repository, that's why i'm cautious :) | 03:59 |
| HalfAWolf | and I'm not sure how to do that if it's not in synaptic Package manager | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Improv: oh absolutely, but if a tool is available, why not use it | 03:59 |
| maco | Lasivian: you can view the contents in Ark or File Roller | 03:59 |
| BlackWeb | trying to install the downloaded templates but the directory the site told me to place it after download doesnt exist | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Improv: i'm sure ubuntu-restrivted-extras isn't in any other distro.... | 03:59 |
| Improv | Cody: What ytou do with the tarball depends on what is in the tarball :) | 04:00 |
| GaryD | BlackWeb: what are the templates for? | 04:00 |
| Improv | You can put anything you want in a tarball. | 04:00 |
| inquiryqueue | Cody: A tarball (ending with .tar) is a bunch of files stuck together. | 04:00 |
| Cody3290 | How do I install it? | 04:00 |
| mu | Can anyone tell me where Ubuntu stores the synaptics configuration file? There does not seem to be a /etc/X11/xorg.conf or anything | 04:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: what is the filename? | 04:00 |
| inquiryqueue | Cody: Are you trying to install a tarball or unp? | 04:00 |
| Phobix | ActionParsnip: I am windows guy, is there an equivalent to workgroups in ubuntu? like domain? I am unsure of how to setup a network with ubuntu | 04:00 |
| Cody3290 | I am trying to install AssaultCube | 04:01 |
| HalfAWolf | Do packages that you download, then install in the terminal, show up in the package manager, or any other list? | 04:01 |

| HalfAWolf | I had installed a copy of vmware a couple months ago, and configured it, but by the time I got a system image to actually use with the thing, it says it's no longer correctly configured | 04:01 |
| HalfAWolf | I looked up the problem, and it looks like it might be some buggyboo with vmware that will make me reconfigure every time I use it, so I thought I'd try a fresh install | 04:01 |
| Improv | Cody: Any good answer to your question might be kind of involved. | 04:01 |

| BlackWeb | on some distributions then when you click on a blank screen then highlight create document then other distributions have options like creat shell document and etc" and on my 8.10 then it says no templates installed which i tried just googling and downloaded some templates but starting to think that I downloaded something totally different | 04:01 |

| Cody3290 | ActionParsnip: I already have the playdeb stuff | 04:04 |
| GaryD | BlackWeb: so you are trying to right click your 8.10 desktop and create a shell document...only to be told that there are no templates installed? | 04:04 |
| Cody3290 | I'm trying to install it from a file :( | 04:05 |
| Cody3290 | Nobody even has a link to instructions? x.e | 04:05 |
| GaryD | HalfAWolf: i'm not sure, but i don't think so. | 04:05 |
| inquiryqueue | Cody: I'll find a link for you. Hold on. | 04:05 |
| HalfAWolf | GaryD: Do you know if there is a reliable way to completely remove programs you've insstalled without synaptic? | 04:06 |
| Phobix | ActionParsnip: do I have to port forward when its two local computers? | 04:07 |
| Phobix | I dont right? | 04:07 |
| Phobix | and how do I check that that port isnt being blocked by something | 04:08 |
| inquiryqueue | Cody: There are several ways people install software. One is with the package manager interface, and then there are ways to install things from files. | 04:08 |
| inquiryqueue | Here is a link to instructions for installing from tarballs: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/add-applications/C/install-file.html | 04:08 |
| GaryD | HalfAWolf: if you install packages from source, then you will have to run the uninstall script provided with the package. if there are any bits and pieces left over, then you will have to remove them manually. if i am wrong someone will speak up. | 04:08 |
| Improv | Phobix: You can use "lsof -i tcp" to find out what network ports are open. | 04:09 |
| Cody3290 | thank you inquiryqueue | 04:09 |
| bc81 | hi. can someone please explain to me what in the world this VLC developer is talking about when he says, "Kill the Ubuntu Volume Control"? thread here: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=86524&p=291875 | 04:09 |
| === Timic_ is now known as Timic | ||

| bc81 | Improv: gnome-volume-control: no process found (do you have this process running by default?) | 04:10 |
| HalfAWolf | GaryD: As luck would have it, I kept my original installation download for vmware, but I don't see any uninstall stuff there | 04:10 |

| Phobix | perfect, thank you Improv | 04:10 |
| Cody3290 | Do i have to use the terminal? | 04:10 |
| Phobix | how do I open a specfic port? | 04:10 |
| Cody3290 | Can't ido the equivilant t hing in the gui? | 04:10 |
| Improv | Phobix: You don't open it; you run software that opens it. | 04:10 |
| Phobix | ok, can you point me in the right direction? | 04:11 |
| Improv | Phobix: Unless you're talking "opening your firewall to let software use it" | 04:11 |

| Improv | Phobix: Describe more of what you're trying to do. | 04:11 |

| Phobix | yes | 04:11 |
| Phobix | one is .100 the other is.101 | 04:11 |
| Improv | Phobix: I don't have a lot of experience using Synergy; you might get better advice from someone else debugging that. | 04:12 |
| Phobix | the documentation says I need to make sure 28400 is open | 04:12 |
| Phobix | how would I do that? | 04:12 |
| Improv | Phobix: Oh, it probably is, but if you like, do "lsof -i tcp | grep 28400" | 04:12 |

| mu | Can anyone tell me where Ubuntu stores the synaptics configuration file? There does not seem to be a /etc/X11/xorg.conf or anything... | 04:13 |
| GaryD | HalfAWolf: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 04:13 |
| HalfAWolf | GaryD: 10.10 | 04:13 |
| Phobix | Improv: what did that do? | 04:13 |
| te | mu: xorg.conf is no longer needed | 04:13 |
| Improv | Phobix: It looks to see if anything has that port open | 04:13 |
| Improv | If there's a process, then it's using it | 04:13 |
| GaryD | mu: do you mean the synaptics touch pad, or synaptic package manager | 04:13 |
| Improv | Otherwise, it's free for Synaptic. | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | te: no true, it is in some cases | 04:13 |
| Phobix | ok, so nothing returned | 04:13 |
| Improv | Groovy. | 04:13 |
| Phobix | does that mean no? | 04:14 |
| Improv | That means it is free for use by the instructions you referenced. | 04:14 |
| te | mu: xorg.conf is used if it is there but is not necessary. | 04:14 |
| Improv | By the processes used by the instructions you referenced I mean | 04:14 |
| Fiveways | I'm getting ready to download the newest version of ubuntu because I can't find my iso anymore, any reason the 32-bit version is listed as "recommended"? | 04:14 |
| te | mu: What are you trying to fix? | 04:14 |
| Fiveways | Can't remember if I saw that there before or not, haha | 04:14 |
| rww | Fiveways: because it works on both 32-bit and 64-bit computers | 04:14 |
| mu | GaryD: Synaptics touch pad | 04:15 |
| te | Fiveways: A lot of reasons... it's complicated. | 04:15 |
| mu | te: I'm trying to replicate the synaptics configuration that Ubuntu uses by default for my X.org configuration in Arch | 04:15 |
| Fiveways | So if I just planning on using it on my 64-bit boxes then theres no reason I shouldnt get x64? Or is it one of those situations where the 32-bit version is probably more hassle-free in the long run? | 04:15 |

| Elitestatus | hey guys, great news its got the proper driver working, but i've got the -1 channel problem???? | 04:15 |
| te | Fiveways: Yes, hassle-free is a good way to put it. | 04:16 |
| Elitestatus | anyone help me with my problem? | 04:16 |
| mu | Fiveways: 32-bit is recommended because you can use 32-bit on 64-bit systems but not the other way around. x64 is no more of a hassle. | 04:16 |
| GaryD | HalfAWolf: look for uninstall script "vmware-uninstall.pl" somewhere on your disk. probably at /usr/bin/vmware-uninstall.pl | 04:17 |
| sougata_ | Elitestatus, so you finally remove the driver ? :-) | 04:17 |

| mechanist | * knew | 04:58 |
| saintbasil | I edited the path in my .profile, now how do I get it to implement the change? | 04:59 |
| te | mechanist: Well, you have one swap, one linux and 3 ntfs partitons, and so what? the install says you have no partitions? Or is it saying you have no "free space"? | 04:59 |
| juk | jiltdil: no, you seemed surprised that it vanishes, i tlod to see what it does as command exits | 04:59 |

| jiltdil | GaryD:ok | 05:01 |
| bucky | mechanist, It's an extended partition. An extended partition is just a container for other partitions, your next partition is /dev/sda5 | 05:02 |
| te | mechanist: sda5 sda6 sda7 are logical partitions sda1 and sda2 are primary ones. sda2 is the extended partition which contains sda5 sda6 an sda7 | 05:02 |
| saintbasil | I added PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/MATLAB/bin/ to my .profile, saved it, but shell still can't find the matlab file. help? | 05:02 |

| mechanist | te: when the partition dialog comes out, from the installation manager, there is only blank space, and no enabled buttons | 05:02 |
| aaron11 | jiltdil, Wow, you know a is not a command? | 05:02 |
| te | mechanist: So what exactly do you want to do? | 05:03 |
| Chikokishi | Does anyone here have experience with gEDA Schematic? | 05:03 |
| mechanist | installing ubuntu | 05:03 |
| jiltdil | aaron11:yes i know it i did it by mistake i know a is not a command? | 05:03 |
| te | mechanist: ... wipe everything and install Linux? | 05:03 |
| aaron11 | jiltdil, Did you try Alt-F2 gnome-terminal? | 05:04 |
| jiltdil | aaron11:but now how to resolve this situation? | 05:04 |
| mechanist | te: are you telling me this is the only possible solution? | 05:04 |
| trism | saintbasil: .profile is only sourced for login shells, so you need to log out then back in (or just . ~/.profile) | 05:04 |
| sougata_ | jiltdil, cd ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default | 05:04 |
| jiltdil | aaron11: i have tried alt+F2 and then typed here xterm it opens terminal | 05:04 |
| te | mechanist: NO, I'm asking what it is that you want to do? | 05:04 |
| sougata_ | and check if there is something in the xml that specifes custom command | 05:04 |
| aaron11 | jiltdil, gnome-terminal? | 05:04 |
| aaron11 | jiltdil, You see | 05:05 |
| te | mechanist: What do you have now and what do you want to have when your done? | 05:05 |
| jiltdil | aaron11: same output splashes and vanished | 05:05 |
| mechanist | te: I just wans that in that dialog at least one partitions comes out, so I can install ubuntu | 05:05 |
| aaron11 | jiltdil, You left the "exit terminal after command exits" option on. Thats whats happening | 05:05 |
| sougata_ | jiltdil, I mean not through terminal | 05:05 |
| mechanist | te: have you in mind what dialog I'm talking about? | 05:06 |
| jiltdil | sougata:then | 05:06 |
| sougata_ | press ctrl+alt f2 | 05:06 |
| sougata_ | wait | 05:06 |
| sougata_ | listen | 05:06 |
| te | mechanist: I'm assuming you are talking about the install program showing you options for re-partitioning your drive. | 05:07 |
| sougata_ | then when you again want to come back to X , press ctrl + alt + f7 | 05:07 |
| te | mechanist: Do you now have a Linux install that runs? | 05:07 |
| sougata_ | or otherwise you can use the file browser to see that file | 05:07 |
| jiltdil | sougata:actually m on virtual box so alt+ctrl+F1-F6 didn't open | 05:08 |
| mechanist | te: at the moment I got only the live cd | 05:08 |
| te | mechanist: what are you doing with the ntfs partitions? what do you use them for? | 05:08 |
| aaron11 | jiltdil, Why dont you reinstall gnome-terminal | 05:08 |
| mechanist | te: in there are stored vital files, gigas of my works in games and personal stuff | 05:09 |
| GaryD | jiltdil: try using gconf-editor to change the values back for the terminal. | 05:09 |
| Roasted | Has anybody used Ubuntu with LTSP? I'm curious about changing the login screen of the thin client systems so it can be better adapted for classroom use. | 05:09 |
| te | mechanist: So you want to save and keep sda5 sda6 and sda7 ? | 05:09 |
| juk | jiltdil: why dont you blow the f* computer with bazooka | 05:09 |
| sougata_ | jiltdil, GardyD is correct | 05:09 |
| mechanist | te: I just wanna know why the installator doesn't see any partitions, and this both in ubuntu and in seven | 05:09 |
| aaron11 | jiltdil, Yes use gconf-editor, i see the custom command option there | 05:10 |
| mechanist | te: the irony is that gparted sees partitions without any issue | 05:10 |
| trism | jiltdil: all you need to do is hit alt+f2, type: gnome-terminal -x /bin/bash and then fix your profile options | 05:10 |
| aaron11 | jiltdil, apps ---> gnome-terminal ---> Profiles ---> default | 05:10 |
| te | mechanist: Windows 7 does not see Linux partitions, (does not have capability to read them so ignores them). | 05:11 |

| Unguided | !webmin | 05:18 |

| LorgonJortle | aaron11, So, after installing VLC, I'd just navigate to the location of the video file on the website and it'll play it? | 05:27 |
| aaron11 | LorgonJortle, I think, I dont know much about that. | 05:28 |
| Improv | the 70-persistent-net.rules has two entries for the wireless card (same Mac), one listed as using the bc43-pci-bridge and the other using wl as the driver. | 05:28 |
| Improv | I tried removing one of those but something put it back in | 05:29 |
| LorgonJortle | aaron11, Hmm. I just tried that, and all it did was download it, not play it. Thanks for the help anyway though. :) | 05:29 |
| aaron11 | LorgonJortle, k. | 05:29 |

| GaryD | LorganJortle: the problem is not the browsers. it is the way you are using the player. | 05:45 |
| mechanist | ops | 05:45 |
| mechanist | you meand parted -le | 05:45 |
| mechanist | * -l , not fdisk -l... | 05:46 |
| mechanist | wait | 05:46 |
| te | mechanist: /dev/sda (not /dev/sda1) | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | mechanist: I'd specifically like the output of parted -l as it uses the same libraries as used by the Ubuntu installer. But looking again it's not actually following the symptoms of a problem with the partition table. For the entire disk not being listed the problem is often with left over raid metadata. | 05:47 |
| te | mechanist: Click on /dev/sda | 05:47 |
| cutiyar | any can answer plz? | 05:48 |

| nbros652 | Is there a log file that I can check to see what connections are coming into my computer? | 05:49 |
| cutiyar | GaryD, http://pastebin.com/WAGLvbxw | 05:50 |
| te | nbros652: What connections? | 05:50 |
| nbros652 | te: I have a log server set up, and a router that doesn't specify what port it uses for logging and doesn't allow me to specify a port. | 05:51 |
| te | nbros652: netstat -pantu | 05:51 |
| GaryD | cutiyar: seems like you don't have lcms installed. | 05:51 |
| mechanist | Jordan_U I've done it | 05:51 |

| cutiyar | GaryD ,its third time ask me to install package | 05:52 |
| nbros652 | te: it only shows current connections | 05:52 |
| nbros652 | te: the router doesn't stay connected and therefore doesn't show up | 05:53 |
| Jordan_U | mechanist: I see no problems there. Was this drive ever part of an array? | 05:53 |
| Chilaquiles | l | 05:53 |
| te | nbros652: And so what exactly do you want to find out? | 05:54 |
| GaryD | cutiyar: you need the development packages. look here. https://github.com/mm2/Little-CMS | 05:54 |

| cutiyar | GaryD, i installed it from synaptic? | 05:55 |

| joshua__ | Is there a PDF reader for ubuntu that lets you place bookmarks? | 05:56 |
| nbros652 | te: but the communication isn't established and maintained from what I can tell. It must come through only when there is an update, and then it disconnects. | 05:56 |
| mechanist | Jordan_U: what you mean for "array", in this specific case? I've only one hard disk, subdivided in four partitions | 05:56 |
| mechanist | no, five. | 05:56 |
| te | nbros652: Still not sure what your getting at....??? nmap 192.168.1.1 ? | 05:57 |
| GaryD | cutiyar: you so need the development version of lcms...it is in the package manager. i am on ubuntu 10.10 and the package name is liblcms1-dev | 05:57 |

| renagadexx | At the risk of sounding extremely retarded, how can I (If I can) configure Nautilius to give me an address bar instead of Breadcrumbs? A typable address bar? | 06:00 |
| GaryD | LorgonJortle: any success? | 06:00 |
| Jordan_U | mechanist: The only reason that I know of for Ubuntu's installer to ignore a drive is when that drive appears to be part of an array whose type the installer does not understand. | 06:00 |
| nbros652 | te: here's what I've done. I've gone into the router configuration page. It has a place to enter the ip address of a serve on which to store logs. I set up rsyslog to receive the log data, but I don't know what port to set in the rsyslog.conf file. | 06:01 |
| LorgonJortle | GaryD, I'm installing FlowPlayer now. I had to make some tea. | 06:02 |
| te | nbros652: Oh, I see... ok, well not sure... It doesn't even suggest what type of service to use to accept the log files? | 06:02 |
| nbros652 | te: Unfortunately, it doesn't. It's a Chinese router and all it has is a blank for an ip address. Doesn't hint at whether it uses udp or tcp and says nothing about the port. | 06:04 |
| mechanist | Jordan_U: if you mean array of partitions, well I just have three ntfs, one ext4, one swap, and the Windows 7's installation manager too doesn't see the hard disk | 06:04 |
| GaryD | LorganJortle: cool. let everyone know how it goes...i gotta go. | 06:04 |
| mechanist | Jordan_U: but GpartEd does, that's what I can't explain. | 06:04 |
| te | nbros652: what is the make and model of the router? | 06:05 |
| GaryD | g'night or g'mornin ... whichever it is to you! | 06:05 |
| nbros652 | te: and I can't specify my own port because there input box has a character limit... Volans VE1560 | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | mechanist: No, you don't currently have an array, but this disk may have previously been part of one, or there may be some other reason that something that looks like raid metadata might be on the drive. | 06:05 |
| te | nbros652: It doesn't suggest ftp or anything? | 06:05 |
| Jordan_U | mechanist: Try booting with the "nodmraid" kernel parameter. To do that press any key within the first 5 seconds of boot and press F6 to get a menu of options, check the nodmraid option. | 06:06 |
| mechanist | hell, this sounds serious then | 06:06 |
| Jordan_U | mechanist: No, not serious at all (if this is what's happening). | 06:06 |
| nbros652 | te: Nothing. I have a check box for starting the system log service, one for enabling sending logs to a server, and an input box for an ip address, and that's it. | 06:06 |
| mechanist | Jordan_U: I just have the live cd | 06:06 |
| Jordan_U | mechanist: I am referring to the LiveCD boot. | 06:07 |
| mechanist | ok | 06:07 |
| mechanist | once I have booted with the nomraid, what I have to do? | 06:07 |
| Jordan_U | mechanist: If that is what was causing the problem then the installer should now show the disk. | 06:08 |
| mechanist | neat! | 06:08 |
| mechanist | I run to try ir | 06:08 |
| mechanist | it | 06:08 |

| te | You could specify port 21 and set up ftp server that will accept anonymous ftp (That's about all I can think of but just guessing) | 06:09 |
| te | nbros652: 192.168.200.2 is the router? | 06:10 |

| Chilaquiles | is there any IRc client that is almost exactly as mIRC? | 06:20 |
| mechanist | and this after getting a virus on xp | 06:20 |
| Madpilot | Chilaquiles, try Xchat. | 06:20 |
| KB1JWQ | Chilaquiles: xchat perhaps. | 06:20 |
| Chilaquiles | xchat_ | 06:20 |
| Madpilot | Chilaquiles, not xchat-gnome, which is an abomination. ;) | 06:20 |
| Chilaquiles | I've tried it already | 06:20 |
| mechanist | Chilaquiles: surely it's kvirc | 06:20 |
| Chilaquiles | oh which one then? | 06:20 |
| mechanist | xchat is text-only | 06:21 |
| Chilaquiles | Madpilot: which one then? | 06:21 |
| mechanist | kvirc has all the grapghic interface | 06:21 |
| AnubArack | mechanist, no it's not | 06:21 |
| CoNFuS3D | so does xchat | 06:21 |
| AnubArack | xhcat has UI | 06:21 |
| CoNFuS3D | I'm on xchat right now :P | 06:21 |
| AnubArack | KDE | 06:21 |
| Madpilot | Chilaquiles, there's both xchat and xchat-gnome; xchat is awesome. xchat-gnome is neutered. | 06:21 |
| AnubArack | i ment to say GTK | 06:21 |
| mechanist | hm!! | 06:21 |
| Chilaquiles | ok | 06:21 |
| mechanist | too many years behind then :) | 06:21 |
| Chilaquiles | probably I've tried gnome | 06:21 |
| mechanist | time do adjourn | 06:21 |
| AnubArack | anyone here uses Vuze? | 06:23 |
| Chilaquiles | I like kvirc but I don't like the way it has the windows on the left side | 06:23 |
| zach | what is Vuze | 06:23 |
| mechanist | AnubArack it's alot better kvirc | 06:24 |
| AnubArack | Vuze is a torrent client | 06:24 |
| holmser | anyone feel like helping me troubleshoot my ethernet card? | 06:24 |
| mechanist | Chilaquiles: maybe you can configure them, just as in mirc | 06:24 |
| Chilaquiles | I wanted to know if there is any mIRC client that has the windows the way windows does, on the bottom | 06:24 |
| te | holmser: what is wrong with it? | 06:24 |
| holmser | It stopped working | 06:24 |
| mechanist | otherwise, you can also run mirc under wine | 06:24 |
| Chilaquiles | mechanist: that really sucks | 06:24 |
| mechanist | so that it works under linux too | 06:24 |
| mechanist | why? | 06:24 |
| AnubArack | Transmission is failing on my setup so I have to use Vuze (deluge fails even worst) | 06:25 |
| mechanist | I tried and it worked | 06:25 |
| mechanist | :D | 06:25 |
| Chilaquiles | because wine sux | 06:25 |
| Madpilot | Chilaquiles, xchat is fairly configurable; you can move the various subwindows around | 06:25 |
| Chilaquiles | is very unstable | 06:25 |
| mechanist | lol | 06:25 |
| Chilaquiles | you always see errors that you don't have any idea where they came from | 06:25 |
| holmser | Its strange, when I check it with ifconfig, it only shows an ipv6 address, no ipv4 | 06:25 |
| Chilaquiles | and sometimes you click buttons and they don't work, etc. | 06:25 |
| mechanist | the only two programs i managed to make working under wine was mirc and notepad >=D | 06:25 |
| te | holmser: ifconfig | 06:26 |
| Chilaquiles | now I'm getting pissed of with openoffice | 06:26 |
| Chilaquiles | really | 06:26 |
| mechanist | so wine remained the same, from the past years when I left it | 06:26 |
| mechanist | lol | 06:26 |
| te | holmser: what do you get from the output of ifconfig ? | 06:26 |
| ActionParsnip | mechanist: spotify works well, as does postal2 and doom3 | 06:26 |

| Chilaquiles | is that true that linux need antivirus now mechanist_ | 06:26 |

| mechanist | another windows applications porter? | 06:27 |
| holmser | http://pastebin.com/1NSzbRZM | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Chilaquiles: libreoffice is an alternative (although not hugely different), or you can use web apps like zoho office | 06:27 |

| holmser | thats my ifconfig output | 06:27 |
| mechanist | I agee with Madpilot | 06:27 |
| mechanist | it's very useles | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | not if you run a samba file server with windows clients | 06:27 |
| Chilaquiles | Madpilot: it says on the internet that noe there are 1000 threats for linux | 06:28 |
| Chilaquiles | about 1000 | 06:28 |
| Madpilot | Chilaquiles, in labs, or in the wild? | 06:28 |
| mechanist | lol | 06:28 |
| Chilaquiles | in the wild | 06:28 |

| StepNjump | Hi actionparsnip | 06:30 |
| mechanist | I mean such as winamp, word,photoshop,flash designing | 06:30 |
| StepNjump | how are you | 06:30 |
| Chilaquiles | Madpilot: there is a list of virus, worms and trojans if you are interested | 06:30 |
| Chilaquiles | for linux | 06:30 |
| CoNFuS3D | I am please Chilaquiles | 06:30 |

| holmser | te: http://pastebin.com/LTHPrC02 | 06:30 |
| ActionParsnip | mechanist: depends on version and wine version. Winamp you can use xmms2 | 06:31 |
| halpbatman | can someone explain to me direct install to usb vs persistent usb install? | 06:31 |

| ubottu | mechanist: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 06:31 |
| holmser | everything seems to be in order te, I'm confused | 06:31 |
| Madpilot | Chilaquiles, "not as stable as it was" is relative. Still vastly safer and easier to admin & secure than Windows | 06:31 |
| te | holmser: So this machine is, in fact, connected to the internet? Yes? | 06:31 |
| Chilaquiles | CoNFuS3D: I just cited the page | 06:31 |
| CoNFuS3D | oh! | 06:31 |
| holmser | yes, but through wifi right now | 06:31 |
| CoNFuS3D | lol, I cant read... thanks | 06:31 |
| mechanist | why you speak me of winamp now, while just a momenta go you spoke about that fantastic spotify? | 06:31 |
| Chilaquiles | Madpilot: what about Mac? | 06:31 |
| kingrope | #arab | 06:32 |
| te | holmser: Is the ehternet port connected to anything? | 06:32 |
| ActionParsnip | halpbatman: you can use a tool to put the install ISO on USB. Changes will not stick. Or you can create a persistant install on USB and yuo updates and changes will retain between reboots | 06:32 |
| Madpilot | Chilaquiles, no clue. Never owned a Mac, hardly ever used them. | 06:32 |
| StepNjump | actionparsnip: Hi. Would you know how to download the display drivers for my Acer netbook. I think you once helped me with that but unfortunately, I fried my old netbook! | 06:32 |
| halpbatman | ActionParsnip: so direct full install to usb is the same as persistent install? | 06:32 |
| holmser | te: yeah, it's plugged into my router right now, but for some reason I can't get it to show up | 06:32 |
| Chilaquiles | Madpilot: yes it can be relative but from lets say 90% secure that was before now is 50% secure | 06:33 |

| StepNjump | I will | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | halpbatman: ive never heard of direct full install | 06:34 |
| te | holmser: And you want it to conect via hard wired connecton? | 06:34 |
| AnubArack | Schala, no. you just didn't let it boot one time and it self-diagnosed that it has a problem (just select boot normaly) | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: mention the netbook model | 06:34 |
| holmser | te: exactly | 06:34 |
| Schala | it seems either Ubuntu is touching my Windows system, or Windows is suicidal about coexisting with Ubuntu | 06:34 |
| Madpilot | Chilaquiles, the rise in popular, easy-to-use Linux versions like Ubuntu was always going to lead to an increase in attacks. I'd say "50% secure" is gross scaremongering, though. | 06:34 |

| ActionParsnip | halpbatman: not sure, could ask in #vbox | 06:37 |
| daniel | Gorilla_No_Baka, beggars cnt be choosers but is there a honeycomb one i like the blue better | 06:37 |
| halpbatman | ActionParsnip: k thx | 06:37 |
| Madpilot | Chilaquiles, because Mac is also a minority system; Windows is the grossly insecure one of the trio, and also the largest target. | 06:37 |
| Wauraudon | hello | 06:37 |
| daniel | ActionParsnip, yeh but a theme for ubuntu | 06:38 |
| ActionParsnip | daniel: http://www.99cblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/city.jpg is the wallpaper | 06:38 |
| Chilaquiles | Madpilot: you're right is a minority system but I have seen that the half of maybe more in my university use macs | 06:38 |
| AnubArack | Chilaquiles, plus osx and linux have a common root and many similarities | 06:38 |
| Chilaquiles | Madpilot: so, I wonder how long it would take for mac to overtake Windows monopoly | 06:39 |
| mrdebuntu | macs have i3 intel now | 06:39 |
| te | holmser: Once wicd is installed, you will need to log out and back in again in order for the interface to become visible on the screen. After logging back in again, you'll see a little icon in the bar that has what looks like one monitor in front of another. Click on it to change from one connection to the other - to choose what device to use for a network connection. | 06:39 |
| AnubArack | Chilaquiles, at the prices of macs .... never | 06:39 |
| Chilaquiles | AnubArack: do they come from the same source? | 06:39 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | Chilaquiles: they only have to lower their prices and they will overtaken them in about one month | 06:39 |
| Madpilot | Chilaquiles, ask Mr. Jobs. This is kind of getting off-topic for #ubuntu, though. Non-tech support should really be moved to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:40 |
| Wauraudon | I'm running a CLI install of Ubuntu, and I'm trying to replace tty1 with an interactive script using dialog. The problem is, sometimes boot messages continue to display after tty1 is initialized, causing my menu to not display. Any ideas? | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | te: wicd also has a cli interface with wicd-curses so is great for servers :) | 06:40 |
| Chilaquiles | AnubArack: but I think Mac people know that their prices are not competitive right now, but I'm sure they will lower the prices as they see an increment in their sales | 06:40 |
| te | ActionParsnip: Very good. Thanks for info. | 06:40 |
| vsk_ram21 | any posibility of using 32bit repo in a 64 bit system.? | 06:40 |
| te | ActionParsnip: I mostly just use it on my laptop. | 06:41 |
| Chilaquiles | Gorilla_No_Baka: I agree with you 100% | 06:41 |
| cfedde | Wauraudon: one common way to run UI on systems like that is to direct the UI to one of the alternate screens | 06:42 |
| syn-ack | vsk_ram21, They're one in the same | 06:42 |
| Wauraudon | cfedde: Using another tty? | 06:42 |
| syn-ack | vsk_ram21, May I ask why you think you need a 32 bit application on your system? | 06:43 |
| === Guest98830 is now known as DarkDevil | ||
| holmser | te: seems to be working now | 06:43 |
| === DarkDevil is now known as Guest48611 | ||
| vsk_ram21 | syn-ack:i need to use back-track repo which currently supports only 32 bit... | 06:43 |
| te | holmser: Very good. | 06:44 |
| holmser | strange that wicd would see it but not network manager | 06:44 |
| eoss | anyone here know php | 06:44 |
| CoNFuS3D | may I suggest #php eoss | 06:44 |
| syn-ack | vsk_ram21, Backtrack as in the Distribution or Backports? | 06:44 |
| te | holmser: Oh well... | 06:44 |
| holmser | anyone know how I would go about changing the default network manager to wicd? | 06:44 |
| mrdebuntu | holmser: install wicd and purge network manager. why are you doign in | 06:45 |
| mrdebuntu | it | 06:45 |
| te | holmser: I think you just did. | 06:45 |
| holmser | what is really pissing me off is that I wasn't able to do it from the command line | 06:45 |
| te | mrdebuntu: holmser Yea just uninstall network-manager, right? | 06:45 |
| mrdebuntu | you typically consider wicd in an openbox environment. network manager suits gnome fine. | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | holmser: just install wicd and reboot, then remove network manager | 06:46 |
| FrozenFire | Is there any way to verify the integrity of an official mirror? I suspect that my local(-ish) mirror is serving corrupted packages. | 06:46 |
| sqwertle | I've installed BT4 using the tutorial found at: http://tolearnfree.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-install-backtrack4-using-grub-of.html . I seem to be still having a problem with BT4 being read only, I'm not sure what to do about that, and for some reason Ubuntu is giving me an error saying that it can't mount ubuntu, but skipping the mounting process allows it to boot normally as though it's trying to mount some secondary filesystem that | 06:46 |
| sqwertle | is just a copy, not too sure. | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | sqwertle: backtrack isn't supported here | 06:46 |
| te | holmser: apt-get --purge remove network-manager | 06:46 |
| holmser | I tried ifconfig eth0 down, then edited my /etc/network/interfaces then putting it back up | 06:46 |
| holmser | what does the --purge flag do? | 06:47 |
| sqwertle | ActionParsnip: What about my Ubuntu question? Aside from that it's not particularly BT4 it should be fstab related. | 06:47 |
| nbros652 | te: the port from tcpdump was the one I wanted. Thanks | 06:47 |
| eoss | CoNFuS3D, i tried there they all seem to be asleep =[ | 06:47 |
| holmser | obviously it purges something, but what? | 06:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sqwertle: check: dmesg | less and see what is going on | 06:47 |
| vsk_ram21 | syn-ack: i need to add some packages from backtrack repo | 06:47 |
| CoNFuS3D | well... #ubuntu isn't really the place for php :P | 06:47 |
| te | holmser: but I don't think it would matter if you didn't uninstall it. Not sure really if it would make a difference. Probably best to uninstall it though. | 06:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sqwertle: for ANY backtrack issues ask in the backtrack channel | 06:48 |
| === Charlie_Sheen is now known as Brain_S | ||
| te | nbros652: very well. | 06:48 |
| syn-ack | vsk_ram21, I'm trying to figure out what you mean by backtrack repo... Are you talking about the distribution or what? | 06:48 |
| Madpilot | FrozenFire, switch to the main archives, for starters. Check Launchpad for reporting repo issues | 06:48 |
| holmser | might I suggest using backtrack on a USB drive for ease of disposal. | 06:48 |
| edward | well that's my hopes and dreams of a friday shipment of my mbp dashed. EOB and it hasn't appeared from customs blackout yet :( | 06:48 |
| danie114 | after i insert a thumb drive how do i remfort it the only options i see are eject and safley remove drive | 06:48 |
| syn-ack | ActionParsnip, Am I safe to assume that that vsk_ram21 guy means the Distro? | 06:48 |
| FrozenFire | Madpilot: Every new install I do would have problems. I'd like to know whether the issue is the mirror, or something I'm doing. | 06:49 |
| sqwertle | holmser: I plan on using it slightly long term, the installation seems to be more useful atm. | 06:49 |
| cfedde | Wauraudon: you'll probably notice that when you hit <alt><f2> you get a new console? | 06:49 |
| te | danie114: You want to re-format it? | 06:49 |
| FrozenFire | I just did an install where the package lists were so severely corrupted on a clean install that I had to wipe them and re-update. | 06:49 |
| danie114 | te, yeh sorry | 06:49 |
| te | danie114: What is wrong with the filesystem that is on it now? | 06:49 |
| === Brain_S is now known as FarkingBish | ||
| vsk_ram21 | syn-ack: i just need to use some packages in BT repo like adding repo like opera , google etc.. | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | syn-ack: not sure | 06:50 |
| holmser | danie114, go to system, administration, gparted | 06:50 |
| mean | how about the UCloner for backup ubuntu? | 06:50 |
| Madpilot | FrozenFire, have you looked on Launchpad or the main ubuntu site for info on who runs your local mirror? | 06:50 |
| syn-ack | vsk_ram21, I'm now fairly certain you have no idea which repo you're talking about | 06:50 |
| holmser | or "gksudo gparted" from CLI | 06:50 |
| Wauraudon | cfedde: I notice that, that's how I log into the system to edit the script or run other commands, but the UI on tty1 is configured using /etc/init/tty1.conf using respawn, so if it doesn't display properly the first time, I can't get it to work | 06:50 |
| syn-ack | vsk_ram21, Most of those apps can be found in the Partners repo and even google, who has their own safe repo to add and use. | 06:51 |
| holmser | what is the best option for creating a network login setup in linux? | 06:51 |
| danie114 | te, its not working right i installed ubuntu on it and it didnt boot right with my computer but i used another one and it worked fine i just wanna fix it | 06:51 |
| FrozenFire | Madpilot: Will do. Was just hoping there was an independent means of comparing the package lists or package checksums to a "clean" version without a bunch of scripting. | 06:51 |
| te | holmser: what do you mean, network login setup? | 06:52 |
| cfedde | Wauraudon, you are saying that you start your ui script in the /etc/init/tty1.conf file? | 06:52 |
| Wauraudon | cfedde: yea, it replaces the login on tty1 | 06:52 |
| Madpilot | FrozenFire, not AFAIK. Another case of "that's never broken for me, so I don't know how to fix it"... | 06:52 |
| syn-ack | vsk_ram21, And to be quite blunt with you, we don't really assist with non-supported repos. | 06:52 |
| LorgonJortle | te, Does that work for you? http://jyrangames.com/VideoTutorials/UnderstandingLOGL_GLib.html | 06:52 |
| cfedde | Wauraudon why not put it in say tty2.conf or 3? | 06:53 |
| holmser | te: I have 4 ubuntu installs going right now. I would like to have a central server to log into that verifies my credentials | 06:53 |
| Wauraudon | cfedde: It has to display as soon as the system is finished booting, is there a way to make tty2 or 3 the default tty? | 06:53 |
| vsk_ram21 | syn-ack: leave abt supporting non-supported repos..any ways for configuring synaptic or apt to use a 32 bit repo.? | 06:53 |
| holmser | I don't need my home directory and such to move with me, although that would be a nice perk | 06:53 |
| cfedde | Wauraudon: maybe... let me do some research. | 06:54 |
| cfedde | Wauraudon: I used to do something like that on SCO back in the oldendays. | 06:54 |
| holmser | I guess I'm looking for something similar to an Active Directory setup te | 06:54 |
| te | danie114: http://www.slax.org/get_slax.php?download=tar Simply unzip it to your USB device and run bootinst.bat (or bootinst.sh) to make it bootable. | 06:54 |
| Wauraudon | cfedde: Do messages from the boot process only spill over onto tty1 or all of them? | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | holmser: could use openldap | 06:55 |
| te | danie114: After you re-format it vfat... | 06:55 |
| holmser | ActionParsnip, googling now... | 06:55 |
| cfedde | Wauraudon: iirc they go where syslog sends them. | 06:55 |

| StepNjump | Hi guys, I would like to install the display drivers for my new Acer Netbook D255-1268 (runs on dualcore N550). So far, the only thing I have tried is to run the Additional drivers wizard found in the systems menu. Any ideas? | 06:56 |
| te | LorgonJortle: Nope. Just shows a green box in the upper left corner. | 06:56 |

| okaprinarjaya | anybody active users of GTK+ here? | 06:58 |
| Wauraudon | cfedde: I already changed kernel.printk in /etc/sysctl.conf to 3 4 1 3 to suppress warnings about automount that were appearing over top of my dialog UI | 06:58 |
| Wauraudon | cfedde: That was one problem solved :p | 06:58 |

| StepNjump | Mrdebuntu. I'm to quite sure. I could check the specifications | 07:03 |
| brontoeee | LorgonJortle, windows, as ie users? you will need some additional formats, or use flash compatible format exclusively | 07:03 |
| danie114 | te still waiting for the download | 07:03 |
| mrdebuntu | let me check | 07:03 |
| mdorrell | connect | 07:03 |
| mrdebuntu | StepNjump: have you ran update manager first? | 07:03 |
| soreau | How can you upgrade lucid to maverick using only cli? | 07:03 |
| LorgonJortle | brontoeee, They've all been using FF. | 07:03 |
| holmser | phaedo, I've been running it exclusively for the last 5 years, but now I want to get down and dirty. I was thinking about trying a LFS install | 07:03 |
| _skpl | soreau: sudp apt-get dist-upgrade | 07:03 |
| brontoeee | LorgonJortle, then ogv should work with <video> tag or with jwplayer configured to switch to html5 mode | 07:04 |
| mdorrell | server chat.stlondemand.com | 07:04 |
| soreau | _skpl: That returns no packages upgraded | 07:04 |
| phaedo | holmser, oh okay, well I don't know any books right off the top of my head... but you can always search google for whatever you might want your server to do | 07:04 |
| soreau | _skpl: 0 upgraded | 07:04 |
| StepNjump | mrdebuntu: yes, I ran the update manager | 07:04 |
| LorgonJortle | brontoeee, JWPlayer doesn't switch automagically? | 07:04 |
| Wauraudon | cfedde: Adjusting a setting for klogd seems to be the way to do it but I'm not sure what exactly to do | 07:04 |
| _skpl | soreau: oh, nm then | 07:04 |

| holmser | phaedo, I would eventually like linux sys admin to be my job | 07:05 |
| LorgonJortle | brontoeee, It's weird, I added the Java code to play OGG videos if HTML5 fails so that FF might work, but it's not failing, it's just not working. The HTML5 video starts to load, and then craps out, so it never gets to the flash video. | 07:05 |
| yjg | abcd | 07:06 |
| brontoeee | LorgonJortle, ok, now iam confused, can u pastebin your logic to some place, how it should work, how it is working? | 07:07 |

| LorgonJortle | holmser, Aye. | 07:07 |
| phaedo | holmser, i would start looking into linux certifications | 07:07 |
| tyreza | hello there | 07:08 |
| phaedo | holmser, maybe a few good books will surface in the search | 07:08 |
| tyreza | is there anyone there ? | 07:08 |
| holmser | I have been, but I much prefer what I like to call "organic learning" | 07:08 |
| LorgonJortle | brontoeee, Check the source (CTRL+U) for this: http://jyrangames.com/VideoTutorials/UnderstandingLOGL_GLib.html | 07:08 |
| holmser | certifications are great, but they are no match for hands on learning | 07:08 |
| tyreza | well, i got small question : how to change the hostname on a ubuntu machien ? | 07:08 |
| Lasivian | I'm trying to delete a program entry in the gnome panel menu, it's not showing up when I edit, and it's not showing up in applications.menu, where else should I look? thanks | 07:08 |
| LorgonJortle | brontoeee, Also, does that load for you? | 07:09 |
| StepNjump | mrdebuntu: no, not really other than that the FXs are all grayed out in the Visual appearance ! Visual effects | 07:09 |
| phaedo | holmser, this is true, yet if you get your CCNA and know enough about linux then there is your job | 07:09 |
| phaedo | also the CCNA is a very respected cert | 07:09 |
| danie114 | te, ok so the program just finished downloading now what | 07:10 |
| mrdebuntu | StepNjump: hmm ok. it may be a newer intel graphics chip. the intel driver is typically automatically installed and features 3d effects in linux | 07:10 |
| danie114 | btw this drive is a HP v100w USB Flash Drive | 07:10 |

| StepNjump | mrdebuntu: The main reason that motivated me to try to download new video drivers is because my mouse is very quick to go all over the place when I type.. In one forum, someone was suggesting to download new video drivers (I don't see what the reason for doing so is) | 07:11 |
| holmser | phaedo, my issue is that most of those certs give you the how, not the why | 07:11 |
| holmser | I need to know the why | 07:11 |
| te | danie114: Did you re-format it? | 07:11 |
| holmser | I'm already A+ and N+ certified | 07:11 |
| arlander | anyone: does anyone know the full-form of SSP, I saw some books under t0rr3nts with name SSP In Action | 07:12 |
| danie114 | te, not yet thats what i dont know how to do | 07:12 |
| phaedo | holmser, that is when you search for the why... which sometimes isn't answered | 07:12 |

| StepNjump | Graphics: Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 | 07:12 |
| holmser | I was thinking about getting their linux+ cert, but it looks like a joke | 07:12 |
| brontoeee | LorgonJortle, this is mess with js, java, flash and html5, you will have to isolate each and see if it works or not, or find some less messy method | 07:12 |
| recognosco | argh. grading assignments sux. | 07:12 |
| phaedo | if you want to be a linux admin | 07:12 |
| mrdebuntu | StepNjump: all right. well, i will research your particular model and see i find anything. as far as i know, the driver should automatically work for intel, sans some newer chipset models. | 07:12 |
| W43372 | Is there anybody here who knows anything about acer netbooks? | 07:13 |
| brontoeee | LorgonJortle, also you will need to add some mime tags for ogv video to server i belive | 07:13 |
| cryptodira | where does one get the authentication keys for the Opera browser? so that the upgrade manager will do its job..10.10 amd/64 | 07:13 |
| brontoeee | LorgonJortle, it doesnt work on ff or chromium here | 07:13 |
| phaedo | CCNA, will give you the knowledge for networks (how to setup, etc.) then linux is what you need to learn just by testing stuff out on your own | 07:13 |
| cryptodira | or conversely, how do you tell the upgrade manger to ignore Opera? | 07:13 |
| LorgonJortle | brontoeee, Hmm... alright. I'll get to the JWPlayer docs and see if I can get it more properly setup. | 07:13 |
| LorgonJortle | Thanks. | 07:14 |
| phaedo | i took a linux class in college and they don't really teach much... basic commands | 07:14 |
| recognosco | phaedo: what sort of linux class? | 07:14 |
| brontoeee | LorgonJortle, why jwplayer if your format of choice is html5 related? | 07:14 |
| pranavam | hi | 07:14 |
| StepNjump | Mrdebuntu: Like you say, maybe it's too recent... Would you have a work around for preventing mouse to go all over the place whilst typing? | 07:14 |
| mrdebuntu | StepNjump: what about the mouse settings? have you experimented with changing acceleration there? | 07:15 |
| arlander | SSP ? | 07:15 |
| LorgonJortle | brontoeee, You think it'd be fine to stick with HTML5 and OGV? | 07:15 |
| phaedo | i forgot the name of the class, but all we did was learn how to make a few scripts, and little small things | 07:15 |
| pranavam | wah | 07:15 |
| recognosco | phaedo: undergrads usually take a system programming class using the the famous textbook - advanced unix programming. other things - they have to pick up themselves. | 07:15 |

| phaedo | recognosco, very true... i have learned more myself than from that class. | 07:16 |
| StepNjump | Mrdebuntu: I don't know exactly what happens but my mouse goes all over the place at times.. Windows close and open... I don't really know if it's due to the mouse or something else... Sometimes I will see my mouse pointer go all over the place really quick! | 07:16 |

| recognosco | phaedo: but that textbook is great for reference | 07:16 |
| LorgonJortle | brontoeee, Alright. I'll get on that then. Thanks. | 07:17 |
| brontoeee | LorgonJortle, the supereasy way is just a direct link to ogv file, some will then download, some will open in browser | 07:17 |
| LorgonJortle | No doubt. | 07:17 |
| phaedo | recognosco, nowadays a google search is faster than thumbing through a book, but that is just my opinion | 07:17 |
| brontoeee | LorgonJortle, and its not messy | 07:18 |
| LorgonJortle | Yeah. :P | 07:18 |
| recognosco | phaedo: but reading a book cover to cover gives a better understanding of the whole subject. google searches are good, but they are for solutions to problems at hand. for theory, we need the text. | 07:18 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: is it a sony laptop? | 07:19 |
| phaedo | recognosco, true, i just consoled old documentation earlier tonight to help someone | 07:19 |
| brontoeee | LorgonJortle, <a href="videos/video.ogv" target="_blank">click for ogg</a> | 07:19 |
| phaedo | consulted* | 07:19 |
| W43372 | I need some advice on setting up a partition | 07:19 |
| phaedo | recognosco, learn to crawl before you can run ... ;-) | 07:19 |
| LorgonJortle | brontoeee, Yeah, that's simple enough. :P | 07:19 |
| StepNjump | Mrdebuntu: Conservatively, I disabled the scrolling feature under mouse settings and flagged disable touchpad while typing but that doesn't seem to make a difference. When I say I have problem with my mouse, I should have referred to it as the touchpad. Sorry. No! It's an Acer netbook. | 07:19 |
| overclucker | the only two things i got out of my linux college course were swatch, and logrotate | 07:20 |
| cryptodira | where does one get the authentication keys for the Opera browser? so that the upgrade manager will do its job..10.10 amd/64 | 07:20 |
| recognosco | phaedo: i agree. unix administration is more of an experience thing. it comes of age. | 07:20 |
| cryptodira | or conversely, how do you tell the upgrade manger to ignore Opera? | 07:20 |
| W43372 | stepnjump: What kind of acer netbook do you have? I just bought one today and I'm putting 10.10 on it right now | 07:20 |
| phaedo | recognosco, most servers run unix | 07:20 |
| recognosco | phaedo: ... | 07:21 |
| mrdebuntu | StepNjump: ok | 07:21 |
| phaedo | recognosco, i thought you said when it comes to age... sorry | 07:21 |
| bryhoyt | If I use dd to create a harddrive image of my 160Gb drive (/dev/sda), and I only have about 10Gb of actual data on the drive, can I get away with dd'ing only the first 10Gb, assuming my data is not fragmented, or would that never work in any situation? | 07:22 |
| StepNjump | It's the one that they have for sale there at Costco W43372., The Acer D255-1268 model (black color). It works well W43372 but it would benefit a lot from fine tuning it (I have some instructions somewhere.. If you want I could email you the link) and an extra 1GB would be very good. | 07:22 |
| recognosco | bryhoyt: i recently dd'ed a 250gb disk - it took 30 hours | 07:23 |
| W43372 | stepnjump: the email is eldonkr@gmail.com; go for it. When you were installing did your drive have 3 different ntfs partions on it? | 07:23 |
| bryhoyt | recognosco: that's exactly why I want to try cutting down | 07:23 |
| holmser | Is it just me, or is dropbox just fancy rsync? | 07:23 |
| recognosco | bryhoyt: but to answer your question, no. i don't think so. | 07:23 |
| Chikokishi | What is the difference between Synaptic and Software centre? | 07:24 |
| StepNjump | Mrdebuntu & mrdebuntu: If the touchpad disabled whilst typing were to work properly, it would be great. Seems to be a bug from Ubuntu. Might want to report it | 07:24 |
| Athenon | t/give athenon87 4 64 | 07:24 |
| bryhoyt | holmser: yes, but try explaining rsync to your grandmother ;-) | 07:24 |
| brontoeee | Chikokishi, synaptic is sexy and fast, while software center is also there | 07:24 |
| StepNjump | W43372, yes I believe so.. The normal C partition, the recovery partition and I forget what the other one came up as... If you want I could check using fdisk here | 07:24 |
| StepNjump | It was 3 or 4 partitions, yes | 07:25 |
| W43372 | stepnjump: Mine has a 14gb part, a 104mb, and a 236gb. I want to keep windows and the recovery partitions, So I need to know which two to leave alone, I'm assuming the two smallest but I don't want to be wrong | 07:25 |
| swazzy | Q I can't see my wally icon on the panel so i can change my picture's around. | 07:25 |
| Chikokishi | brontoeee, so Software centre is synaptic for people who like windows type stuff? | 07:25 |
| StepNjump | W43372 What I have done is I downloaded a free partition manager from download.com and resized the main C partition to allow 100GB for Linux use formated in EXT3 FS. The install was very easy after that. | 07:26 |
| bryhoyt | recognosco: what if I reduce the /dev/sda1 partition size to < ~10Gb (with say gparted), can I get a good image of /dev/sda by copying only the first ~10Gb (plus a few Mb just to be safe)? I.e. is all the partition table, mbr, etc etc stored at the start of the drive? | 07:26 |
| brontoeee | Chikokishi, windows doesnt have a concept of central repos, so what do you mean? | 07:26 |
| overclucker | Chikokishi: I haven't seen a package manager like that on windows yet | 07:26 |
| W43372 | stepnjump: I'm assuming that the two smallest partitions are windows and the recovery, right? | 07:27 |
| Chikokishi | I mean.. like the way it works | 07:27 |
| recognosco | bryhoyt: that would be a more feasible solution. reduce the size. dd it. | 07:27 |
| phaedo | maybe he meant it's more gui-ish | 07:27 |
| overclucker | Chikokishi: ah, it is a bit simple | 07:27 |
| Chikokishi | like in ubuntu a lot of stuff is run in terminal, where as in windows a lot of the 'same' stuff is run in control panel | 07:27 |
| Chikokishi | Yeahh Gui ish | 07:27 |
| === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer | ||
| phaedo | hehe | 07:27 |
| phaedo | that will be in the dictionary soon... | 07:28 |
| brontoeee | so synaptic is less guiish then software center? :) | 07:28 |
| bryhoyt | recognosco: Thanks. Do you know for certain it would be reliable, or could I still be shooting myself in the foot? This is a production system, so kinda important for me not to create latent problems. | 07:28 |
| Chikokishi | Maybe... lol | 07:28 |
| StepNjump | W43372: yes you want to resize your 236GB to let's say 100GB size for Ubuntu use via Windows 7 using a free partition software. That way when you will try to install Ubuntu with your USB key, it will be very clear which partition to reformat in EXT4. No confusion to have there. | 07:28 |
| Chikokishi | whoknows. Long story short im trying to get Geda to work like Pspice. | 07:28 |
| cryptodira | i am looking at 'mark all upgrades' in synaptic.... it wants to remove VLC, but not upgrade or replace it... is VLC not supported for 10.10 amd/64 ? | 07:28 |
| Chikokishi | and so i was trying to decide between using syna and software centre | 07:29 |
| mrdebuntu | cryptodira: it is supported | 07:29 |
| StepNjump | W43372, well one of the two is def. the recovery but the other one I wouldn't know. No, it's not the windows. Windows actually resides on your 236GB partition | 07:29 |
| cryptodira | mrdebuntu, then why would it want to remove it for upgrades? | 07:29 |
| mrdebuntu | cryptodira: i dont know. i just use apt in terminal to apt-get upgrade | 07:29 |
| brontoeee | Chikokishi, you can use both for various tasks | 07:29 |
| recognosco | bryhoyt: an dd copy of 10gb will bring back that 10gb only. so stuff that you add later, will be lost when your restore the backup. i think rsync is the smarter way to go. | 07:29 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| anarchist | um default ubuntu install, installs both. | 07:29 |
| W43372 | Then what is that 14 GB partition? | 07:30 |
| W43372 | stepnjump: Then what is the 14gb partition of the largest one is windows? | 07:30 |
| StepNjump | Can somebody tell me what the bash command is to be used in order to list all partitions on my sda1? | 07:30 |
| Chikokishi | brontoeee ah ok. You wouldnt happen to know anything about Geda and Pspice would you? lol | 07:30 |
| cryptodira | mrdebuntu, hmmmm.... ok, Thank You. | 07:30 |
| brontoeee | Chikokishi, nope | 07:30 |
| bryhoyt | recognosco: I'm trying to clone the entire system for multiple hands-free installs, so just copying files wouldn't work. I need to make sure the MBR and partition table are all intact | 07:30 |
| mrdebuntu | cryptodira: someone else here may know the answer | 07:30 |
| Chikokishi | Ok thanks! | 07:31 |
| StepNjump | If someone tells me how to list my partitions in the bash shell, I will let you know my friend | 07:31 |
| tyreza | hello | 07:31 |
| recognosco | StepNjump: fdisk -l /dev/sda1 | 07:31 |
| tyreza | hello | 07:31 |
| tyreza | there | 07:31 |
| tyreza | how to change hostname ? | 07:31 |
| FloodBot1 | tyreza: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:31 |
| recognosco | bryhoyt: then dd is the way to go. | 07:31 |
| halpbatman | can you acces ext4 from windows or os x? | 07:31 |
| bryhoyt | recognosco: great, thanks | 07:31 |
| tyreza | how to change hostname ? | 07:32 |
| StepNjump | ok thanks a lot recognosco. Let me check that W43372 | 07:32 |
| ActionParsnip | StepNjump: sda1 is a partition. You can see partitions on sda with: sudo parted -l | 07:32 |
| recognosco | tyreza: edit /etc/hostname | 07:32 |
| recognosco | tyreza: also edit the entries in /etc/hosts | 07:32 |
| tyreza | that's all ? recognosco | 07:32 |
| StepNjump | thanks actionparsnip | 07:32 |
| tyreza | thanks a lot | 07:32 |
| tyreza | let me check | 07:33 |
| anarchist | StepNjump: try df -hx tmpfs | 07:33 |
| recognosco | tyreza: that's what i do. | 07:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tyreza: run: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts and gksudo gedit /etc/hostname | 07:33 |
| anarchist | StepNjump: or less /etc/fstab | 07:33 |
| W43372 | Stepnjump, I'm mainly a ubuntu user, I don't like seven two much, I just want to keep it around on a small partition to mess around with and give up most of the laptop to using ubuntu | 07:33 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| recognosco | anyways, i hate grading assignments | 07:34 |
| ActionParsnip | tyreza: once BOTH are open you can change the files for the new hostname (case sensitive). Save the files and reboot | 07:35 |
| tyreza | working thanks a lot ActionParsnip & recognosco | 07:35 |
| W43372 | stepnjump the thing on the install screen is telin gme that /dev/sda1 (the 14gb) is the vista loader and sda2 104mb is the 7loader and sda3 is blank | 07:35 |
| spaceninja | does anyone know how to export pdf's with a4 size in openoffice? | 07:36 |
| tyreza | an other question, what kind of file we got on /usr/sbin ? | 07:36 |
| ActionParsnip | tyreza: you need to change both or the OS cannot resolve its own name to 127.0.0.1 and sudo will not work | 07:36 |
| recognosco | tyreza: system binaries, for users | 07:36 |
| === mRy is now known as Guest22299 | ||

| ActionParsnip | tyreza: just a handy fyi :-) | 07:38 |
| StepNjump | W43372: http://paste.ubuntu.com/578216/ | 07:38 |
| W43372 | StepNJump: Hold the phone, I think I found a simple solution; the option to 'install alongside exsisting OS' looks like it will let me install without breaking anything | 07:39 |
| tyreza | well, i have to run ten command similar like that /usr/sbin/apps, can i simply create a script to do the same thing | 07:39 |
| tyreza | ? | 07:39 |
| riz0n | Is anyone familiar with procmail? | 07:40 |
| recognosco | tyreza: don't understand your question | 07:40 |
| StepNjump | sda1 is 14GB, that must be the recovery partition. sda2 is only 105MB, must be the boot partition (I guess), sda3 is 131 GB, that's my Win7 (very slow using 1GB with this computer, not worth it. I kept it because the kids like it) | 07:40 |
| riz0n | I have an email account I would like to configure where it will forward all incoming messages to another account, but retain the messages in its inbox for review by those who log directly into the account. | 07:41 |
| StepNjump | W43372, yes I think that's what I used.. either that or advanced | 07:41 |
| === satya___ is now known as satya | ||

| ActionParsnip | tyreza: sure make a script with the commands you run and you can do them all with one command :-) | 07:41 |
| StepNjump | W43372, did you format your future linux partition using a partitioner software from Win7 previously? | 07:41 |
| tyreza | this is what i have to run : http://paste.ubuntu.com/578220/ | 07:42 |
| StepNjump | W43372... ah that's it.. | 07:42 |
| tyreza | how to script that one ? | 07:42 |
| StepNjump | that's what I did in the end.. you are right | 07:42 |
| StepNjump | Doesn't look like a slider at first! | 07:42 |
| W43372 | StepNJump: No, I didn't do anything other than run the intiial set up and type in a name and pw for 7 | 07:42 |
| recognosco | tyreza: google "linux shell scripting" | 07:42 |
| StepNjump | W43372 so I partitionned in Win7 for no reason at all! | 07:42 |
| dspace_ | how to configure freeradius on ubuntu?.. | 07:43 |
| tyreza | ok understand | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | tyreza: make a text file with that in | 07:43 |
| StepNjump | W43372, so that's it... the partitions are 1-Win 7, 2-boot and, 3-recovery | 07:43 |
| tyreza | understand, thank you very helpful to be | 07:43 |
| tyreza | here | 07:43 |
| W43372 | StepNJump: Exactly, the partitioning tool in the install would have done the same thing you did with the windows software | 07:43 |

| StepNjump | oh yes it did.. sda7 | 07:44 |
| === DarkDevil is now known as Guest32393 | ||

| tyreza | yes, i know that ActionParsnip, actually i got a script like that to ssh on my machine, i simply wanna know if possible to do same thing with that command that's all, if yes i will do the same thing | 07:45 |
| recognosco | StepNjump: i think automated partitioning does an LVM with swap and blah blah | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | tyreza: save the file as whatever you like then rightclick the file -> properties and mark it executable | 07:45 |

| recognosco | technocp: 11.04 is not latest stable yet. | 08:00 |
| recognosco | it is not april yet. | 08:00 |

| Yerushalmi | Hey folks, I just reinstalled Ubuntu, with my home directory on a 16 GB SD card and my root directory on my internal 3G hard drive. But after running update manager and everything I've bumped right up to my maximum hard disk space. Is there any "light" hard-disk version of Ubuntu, or, alternatively, what mount points should I put on the SD card that would minimize internal-hard-drive space usage? | 08:01 |
| recognosco | or beta | 08:01 |
| recognosco | i think i recall there wont be rc for natty | 08:01 |
| recognosco | beta to final | 08:01 |
| fairuz | recognosco: its jan 20 2011 13:18 -.- | 08:01 |
| Jordan_U | Yerushalmi: Why do you have / on a different drive? | 08:02 |
| recognosco | fairuz: jan 20?! | 08:02 |
| fairuz | recognosco: yes | 08:02 |
| Yerushalmi | Jordan_U: It's more that I have /home on a different drive. Because I thought, correctly, I wouldn't have enough space on the internal drive for it. | 08:02 |
| recognosco | fairuz: i am lost. maybe someone else can help. | 08:02 |
| Chipzzz | fairuz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime | 08:02 |
| Yerushalmi | Jordan_U: Turns out I don't have enough space on the internal drive for the rest of the installation as well :p | 08:03 |
| Jordan_U | Yerushalmi: Why not have everything on the SD card? | 08:03 |
| recognosco | fairuz: but syncing with NTP might be a good idea? did you try that yet? | 08:03 |
| fairuz | recognosco: ok i will try | 08:03 |
| fairuz | Chipzzz: ok ty | 08:03 |
| Chipzzz | fairuz, recognosco: sometimes if it's too far off, it won't sync | 08:04 |
| Yerushalmi | Jordan_U: That was my original install. I did the reinstall because the SD card appears to be a bit corrupted so I can't trust it with system data. | 08:04 |
| Jordan_U | Yerushalmi: But you don't care about losing your personal data? | 08:04 |
| recognosco | Chipzzz: then a simple shell script will have to do | 08:04 |
| W43372 | ok, I'm back again with a quick question. How do I make this netbook boot to my Ubuntu installation by default instead of presenting me with a boot menu? | 08:04 |
| Yerushalmi | Jordan_U: I don't really have anything of importance there, no. | 08:05 |
| Yerushalmi | Jordan_U: I mean, I'll try again, obviously, delete everything and reinstall to the SD card. But I think in my two-month-long experiment trying to teach Ubuntu to use an SD partition as swap I kinda killed its read/write capabilities | 08:06 |
| Chipzzz | recognosco: do you know if he is using the desktop or commandline? | 08:06 |
| technocp | please help friends I have been downloading from cdimage.ubuntu.com but not yet been able to download the correct image. all my downloads are not usable at all. | 08:06 |

| StepNjump | recognosco, sorry for not getting back to you earlier. I just saw your message. yes you must be right on autopartitionning. This is a great feature for newbies like me | 08:07 |
| recognosco | Chipzzz: but it's fair to assume command line at all times, eh? | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | technocp: What os / software are you using to download? | 08:07 |
| Yerushalmi | Jordan_U: It's either that or I just have to hope that my missing desktop and random disconnection problems were merely caused by having the computer for a year and a half. | 08:07 |

| Jordan_U | Yerushalmi: Do you mind using experimental software like btrfs? It will give you IO errors when there is data corruption rather than things silently failing. | 08:08 |
| StepNjump | recognosco, oh yes, why is that? sorry I'm new sort of, on ubuntu | 08:09 |
| recognosco | StepNjump: using LVM is a great practice as well | 08:09 |
| StepNjump | what is LVM | 08:09 |
| Jordan_U | technocp: Try using zsync, it will use whatever you have and fix just what's missing / corrupted. | 08:09 |
| Yerushalmi | Jordan_U: Is there no way I can simply scan the SD card for unusable parts on the disk or something? Find out if there really is a problem? | 08:10 |

| StepNjump | Ok gents, good night to all and thanks for all your help.. | 08:13 |
| Chipzzz | Wauraudon: I read recently that it's generally frowned upon to run an xserver on a server | 08:13 |
| Chipzzz | 'nite StepNjump | 08:14 |
| recognosco | nite | 08:14 |
| Wauraudon | Chipzzz: It's a CLI install of Ubuntu for space reasons, but it's not a server machine. dialog's file select prompt is a little non-user-friendly | 08:15 |
| Jordan_U | technocp: zsync -i /path/to/previously/downloaded/file.iso http://some.com/url | 08:15 |
| StepNjump | tnx Chipzzz night! | 08:15 |
| Chipzzz | Wauraudon: then it sounds like a good idea to me :) | 08:16 |
| Wauraudon | Chipzzz: What would I need to just get zenity working from the CLI? (xterm?) | 08:16 |
| Chipzzz | Wauraudon: I've never done it but I'd assume not much more than the xserver & ssh | 08:18 |

| AbuBadr | is there an easy way to install java to chrome? | 08:21 |
| Arachon | Hey there. I was wondering if it is possible to re-size a partition whilst the OS is running? | 08:22 |
| recognosco | AbuBadr: just install jdk and see how chrome reacts | 08:22 |
| mistform | I have a microphone input problem with Teamspeak. anyone know if it's the soundcard or where to fix? | 08:22 |
| _jesse_ | Arachon: I wouldn't resize any active partitions, but you can unmount and resize others | 08:23 |
| recognosco | Arachon: i do not think so. you will need a livecd. | 08:23 |
| _jesse_ | Arachon: otherwise, boot up a LiveCD | 08:23 |
| AbuBadr | recognosco, from the package manager? | 08:23 |
| recognosco | AbuBadr: yeah, sure. anywhere. | 08:23 |
| Arachon | _jesse_: Right, so nothing like the Windows disk manager then? Bother. | 08:23 |
| SoulPropagation | recognosco: the only thing that looks weird is reports of "Disk /dev/dm-# doesn't contain a valid partition table" (dm-0 and dm-1) | 08:23 |
| ilea | romani nu sunt pe aici oare? | 08:23 |
| ilea | :P | 08:24 |
| _jesse_ | Arachon: well there is, it's called GParted, but it's a little dangerous to resize active partitions | 08:24 |
| recognosco | SoulPropagation: ummm. i am lost. | 08:24 |
| Arachon | _jesse_: How so? | 08:24 |
| _jesse_ | Arachon: could lead to file corruption | 08:24 |
| Arachon | Hm, ok, | 08:24 |
| _jesse_ | however improbably that case | 08:24 |
| _jesse_ | I wouldn't risk it | 08:25 |
| ilea | if you have windows in dual boot try easeus partition master | 08:25 |
| ilea | its free and its easy | 08:25 |
| Arachon | Is that due to the ext3 file system (seeing as, once again, Windows manages it), or is it irresponsibility from Microsoft's side (allowing the disk manager to re-size active partitions, despite the risk)? | 08:25 |
| _jesse_ | Arachon: fwiw I wouldn't risk resizing an active partition in windows either | 08:25 |
| Arachon | Ah. | 08:25 |
| Arachon | Oh well, I guess that answered my questions, thanks. | 08:26 |
| _jesse_ | Arachon: np, I mean considering how easy it is to spin up a LiveCD and do it there when they are all unmounted; I would just do that | 08:26 |
| ilea | easeus partition master can see all partitions even ext3 and4 | 08:26 |

| _Neytiri_ | Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table | 08:27 |
| _Neytiri_ | how do i fix that | 08:27 |
| recognosco | Arachon: i don't think you can't resize the boot partition when you're running the OS. linux or windows. correct me if i am wrong. | 08:27 |
| Chipzzz | Wauraudon: are you at the machine with the x-server or remote? | 08:28 |
| evilvish | !jp | zenmai | 08:28 |
| ubottu | zenmai: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい | 08:28 |
| Wauraudon | Chipzzz: at the machine. Running startx opens what I believe is xterm. Running xterm directly results in ""Can't open display" though | 08:28 |
| Arachon | recognosco: According to this certification training I'm doing, it is fully possible to resize an active partition in Windows 7, at the very least. It may not be a great idea, but it seems to be possible. | 08:28 |
| zenmai | thank you | 08:28 |
| recognosco | Arachon: good for M$ | 08:29 |
| ilea | when runing windows and easus partition master the linux partition is inactive and you can resize it | 08:29 |
| mistform | Arachon: possible, likely. Practical, not really haha | 08:29 |
| Arachon | mistform: Fair enough | 08:30 |

| tycable | Hello, I have a problem, that is when I connect to ipv6 network, I mean it has no ipv4, I can't have its DNS, and if I add 'nameserver ###' to /etc/resolv.conf, when ping6 ipv6.google.com, it still tells me unknown host. | 08:32 |
| recognosco | inad922: use mdadm after you've installed it? | 08:32 |
| r0bert | i am currently running 9.10 - will i be able to upgrade in the forseeable future? => i run a geforce 3 ti200 and nee to have 3d-support, so a working nvidia-driver is required | 08:32 |
| Wauraudon | Chipzzz: No window, it's just a black screen with a prompt in the upper left corner, but the 'window' appears to only take up maybe 1/4 of the screen in the upper left corner | 08:32 |
| tycable | and the network manager will overwrite /etc/resolv.conf | 08:33 |

| Sonne | jnlsnl_, any specific reason why you compiled wine from source? | 09:21 |
| jnlsnl_ | Sonne yes I had to compile to make a old game work | 09:21 |

| === lance_ is now known as Guest76564 | ||
| Sonne | rems, when you have to compile things that need libraries, you need the -dev versions | 09:49 |
| Sonne | rems, which means installing tcl8.5-dev, tk8.5-dev, etc | 09:49 |
| Chikokishi | Sonne, gerris is a program that gives 3d models of fluid flow, and there are screenshots of it on the internet. So i think its just me doing somethign wrong. | 09:49 |

| juk | Emanon: echo test | md5sum | 09:49 |

| Emanon | where test is the string i want to hash juk? | 09:49 |
| Sonne | Chikokishi, i can assure you it has no graphic user interface. you have to supply a file to it, and it will create another file with the graphs | 09:50 |
| jnlsnl_ | Sonne i dont want the source this time, i just want a normal installation of wine:-) | 09:50 |

| newbie101 | I.e how do i view cpu usage of all the servers on the network at the same time through command line | 09:50 |
| Sonne | jnlsnl_, in this case, just go with the software center - OR use the wine PPA | 09:50 |
| Chikokishi | Sonne, really? Ok ill do more searching. Thanks | 09:50 |

| Mashuga | Ubuntu 10.10 64bit.. Trying to find out if there's a 64bit version of the java sdk, need to feed an app about 4-5gbs of ram. | 09:52 |
| Sonne | newbie101, mssh opens a big window split with all your servers command lines, and you can type on all of them simultaneously - give it a shot | 09:52 |
| Emanon | I'll use it ubuntu side only if it's only available there. | 09:52 |

| Chipzzz | I've had a lot less trouble with alsa | 10:22 |
| lighta | there I don't know much StepNjump you should ask someone else for this, aren't there any for linux ? | 10:22 |
| SwedeMike | DJJeff: discussions regarding 11.04 is best to be had in #ubuntu+1 | 10:22 |
| shariq_ | I am getting problem | 10:23 |
| StepNjump | lighta, of course not! I have a feeling Microsoft forces the OEMs to sign an agreement with them thus forcing them to keep all their drivers proprietary between MSFT, AAPL and themselves.. That's probably how they keep the control of the market share | 10:23 |
| lighta | !ask | shariq_ | 10:24 |
| StepNjump | Just a guess | 10:24 |
| ubottu | shariq_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 10:24 |

| shariq_ | how can i know which process is generating the traffic | 10:25 |
| Chipzzz | :)) | 10:25 |
| lighta | yes StepNjump that why driver is a main issue, but there often some free one to remplace those, especially if your hardware is common | 10:25 |
| StepNjump | My guess is that it will get harder and harder to find drivers | 10:25 |
| StepNjump | But there will be new lines of computers that will be built specifically for Open source OSes | 10:26 |
| shariq_ | Please tell me the command from where i can see which process has consuming bandwidth right now | 10:26 |
| StepNjump | eh! that's a good idea! Let,s start a new corporation guys! lol | 10:26 |

| th0r | cablop: are the menus and such in spanish or the software descriptions? It might be the repos you are using are supplying info in spanish | 10:59 |
| cablop | erUSUL: they say rc... not ii, so not installed | 10:59 |
| llutz | !backtrack | k10 no | 10:59 |
| ubottu | k10 no: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| cablop | th0r: nope, sources are appointing to Main Server | 11:00 |
| tycable | erUSUL, I checked it, but there is no 'proxy' this word. | 11:01 |

| Chipzzz | DannyButterman: It sounds like the device is going to sleep after a period of inactivity & not being detected when it wakes up... I don't know what to do about it, though... looking around for some clues | 11:03 |
| cablop | erUSUL: no LC, just lang variable and it is language, no spanish pack installed, local zone is UTC... any clue? | 11:03 |
| cablop | erUSUL: i mean, it is language=en | 11:03 |
| erUSUL | cablop: nope sorry :S | 11:03 |
| tycable | erUSUL, oh, yeah, it's one in the /etc/environment, thanks very much. Let me have a try. | 11:03 |
| erUSUL | cablop: should be LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 or so | 11:04 |
| llutz | sabgenton: the part "Encryption" only refers to WEP in that howto | 11:04 |
| DannyButterman | Chipzzz: that's exactly what I thought. Do you own the same printer and experiment the same issue ? | 11:04 |
| W43372 | I'm trying to move contents of computer A to Computer B through the Public folder on computer A. I can mount the folder on computer B, but it won't let me move or view the files because 'I don't have permission'. What do I do? | 11:04 |
| erUSUL | cablop: what happens if you launch the ubuntu software center from terminal ? | 11:05 |
| lolle | http://www.meatspin.com/ | 11:06 |
| th0r | cablop: what part of software center is in spanish? The menus at the top of the window? Or just the description and such? | 11:06 |
| cablop | i have this env variables LANG=en_US.utf8, GDM_LANG=en_US.utf8, i have no LC_xxx variables, there's no spanish pack installed, time zone is UTC, but some applications like Ubuntu Software Center keep showing information in spanish, if i install language packs firefox starts to show menus and messages in spanish too | 11:06 |
| sabgenton | llutz: I guess nobody cares to suport the interfaces script with wifi now when theres grafical self contained wifi managers | 11:07 |
| cablop | erUSUL: yes they, re LANG=en_US.utf8... | 11:07 |
| cablop | th0r: yes, the descriptions, the menus are ok... by now | 11:07 |
| W43372 | I'm trying to move contents of computer A to Computer B through the Public folder on computer A. I can mount the folder on computer B, but it won't let me move or view the files because 'I don't have permission'. What do I do? | 11:07 |
| th0r | cablop: the descriptions are not translated by the system. LANG would set the menus and such...that is why if you install the spanish language pack the menus in firefox change. The software descriptions are, if I remember correctly, downloaded from the repos | 11:08 |
| iqpi | cablop: have you tried to restart the session? | 11:09 |

| cablop | th0r: i think you are right, but i'm using the main server, not any latinamerican or spanish one | 11:09 |
| sabgenton | oliver_: apt-get what? | 11:10 |

| Chipzzz | DannyButterman: I have a usb printer that I have yet to try since my escape from window$ and I notice that the driver loads but after a while, the usb bus ignores the printer... | 11:10 |
| oliver_ | sabgenton, :D apt-get-repository | 11:10 |
| llutz | sabgenton: thats sadly true, networkmanager wherever you look, pointless bloated stuff in most cases. | 11:10 |
| th0r | cablop: yes, but I think you are spinning your wheels looking at LANG and such. I think you should look at why you got the wrong info from the repos | 11:11 |
| cablop | erUSUL: menus are in english... what else to check? | 11:11 |
| sabgenton | llutz: so dum | 11:11 |
| erUSUL | cablop: echo $LANGUAGE | 11:11 |
| cablop | th0r: right... maybe they're sending me info based on my time zone or counry? | 11:12 |

| cablop | erUSUL: en | 11:12 |

| cablop | erUSUL: hehe, dirty workaround, but maybe it will do the trick | 11:14 |
| buschwusch | xchat i know, didn't like the style on osx, but gonna check it out again for sure :) | 11:14 |

| bazhang | k10, be patient, it has nothing to do with ubuntu | 11:15 |
| oliver_ | sabgenton , then your ubuntu is messed up | 11:15 |

| overclucker | buschwusch: I tried smuxi, and found it decent, though i'm back to irssi | 11:16 |
| oliver_ | sabgenton, its the normal ubuntu add repo command add-apt-repository ppa://........... | 11:16 |
| sinisterstuf | sabgenton, maybe apt-add-repository is for 10.10 or is it not a problem? | 11:16 |
| dr0id | anyone ? "stdin: is not a tty" ? | 11:16 |
| buschwusch | ok, thanks overclucker | 11:16 |
| W43372 | I can access the files in other shared folders on computer a from computer b,, just not Public | 11:16 |
| erUSUL | dr0id: what command gives that error? | 11:16 |
| sinisterstuf | *add-apt-repository | 11:16 |
| sabgenton | oliver_: what version of ubuntu do you have | 11:16 |
| cablop | mmmm... it would also helps because the USC is showing me some PPAs that are not currently in this system... nor packages from them | 11:16 |
| oliver_ | sinisterstuf im the one wondering why i can't just add the repo with sudo add-apt-repository ppa://....... | 11:17 |
| sinisterstuf | oliver_, and what Ubuntu version do you use? | 11:17 |
| oliver_ | sinisterstuf and update as second step sudo apt-get update | 11:17 |
| awanti | plz. | 11:17 |
| oliver_ | sinisterstuf, sabgenton ubuntu 10.10 | 11:17 |
| cablop | erUSUL: that worked, thanks! | 11:17 |
| buschwusch | wow, smuxi looks sleek | 11:17 |
| sinisterstuf | oliver_, do you get errors when you try to update? | 11:17 |
| sabgenton | sinisterstuf: do you have 10.10? | 11:17 |
| erUSUL | cablop: no problem | 11:18 |
| th0r | oliver_: adding the repo just puts the repo link in the list, apt-get update actually contacts the repo and gets the software info | 11:18 |
| sinisterstuf | sabgenton, yes, I have 10.10 | 11:18 |
| oliver_ | th0r, but why can't I just add the link to the repo and execute the update on a new line ... why do i have to combine it with && sudo apt-get update | 11:18 |
| sabgenton | ok mabye thats why I dont' have it | 11:18 |
| buschwusch | is there an alternative to filezilla, something sleeker/simpler? | 11:18 |
| th0r | oliver_: you can do them separately....it isn't necessary to do them on one line | 11:19 |
| sinisterstuf | oliver_, you don't have to | 11:19 |
| oliver_ | th0r, well it gave me an error like failed to read from launchpad.... | 11:19 |
| th0r | oliver_: just leave out the && | 11:19 |
| sabgenton | oliver_: so if your run apt-get update first by itself and then later run the command in question it doesn't work? | 11:19 |
| oliver_ | th0r , but when i combined them it worked flawlessly | 11:19 |
| erUSUL | buschwusch: Places>connect to Server? | 11:19 |
| sinisterstuf | sabgenton, I think so, although you I don't think you can install add-apt-repository, I think it's part of the apt package or something | 11:19 |
| W43372 | Computer A has things in it's shared folder I need on computer B. I mount that share on computer B, but when I try to move the files it says i don't have permission, what do? | 11:20 |
| oliver_ | sabgenton, why the update before the add-apt-repository | 11:20 |
| buschwusch | erUSUL: i know how to use filezilla, i just want something better looking, like transmit, which is what i use under osx | 11:20 |
| oliver_ | sabgenton makes no sense to me | 11:20 |
| sinisterstuf | oliver_, no. the steps are, add the ppa, update the repository, install the package | 11:20 |
| === solsTiCe is now known as Guest63122 | ||
| === tom___ is now known as _tom | ||
| sinisterstuf | oliver_, after you do the add-apt-repository you do the apt-get update && apt-get install whateveryouwant | 11:22 |
| sabgenton | oliver_: Well apt-get update updates your package list so apt might not run if there was a corruption in your packagelist | 11:22 |
| oliver_ | sinisterstuf, hmm well it all worked fine just when i tried sudo add-apt-repository ... (i would have run the sudo apt-get update afterwards) alone i got an error but when i run sudo add-apt-repository... && sudo apt-get update it worked | 11:22 |

| sabgenton | see your point | 11:22 |
| sinisterstuf | oliver_, so... what is actually the problem right now? | 11:23 |
| sabgenton | I agree with sinisterstuf | 11:23 |
| oliver_ | sinisterstuf, i'm just asking why i need to combine them and can't run seperately | 11:23 |
| sinisterstuf | ...i forgot how ubottu works | 11:23 |
| sabgenton | oliver_: I wouldn' have thought it nessaary ethier | 11:24 |
| oliver_ | sinisterstuf, did some google research but haven't found an answer yet .. :D | 11:24 |
| sabgenton | a comand doesn't care about what command is run after it | 11:24 |
| sinisterstuf | oliver_, saying that you can't run them separately implies that now you can no longer do sudo apt-get update, is this true? | 11:24 |
| sabgenton | well unless it's a pipe | 11:24 |
| sabgenton | not && | 11:25 |

| brverg | hi why is that whenever i sign to this channel, i get the message "Couldn't look up your hostname" | 11:47 |
| Sterist | erUSUL: do you know if LBA would cause recognition issues with some devices? | 11:47 |
| deww | brverg: that's a server side message. your ip isnt resolving to a hostname and vice versa. no big deal | 11:47 |
| erUSUL | Sterist: maybe if the bios is too old? | 11:48 |
| Curly_Q | Schnuffle, thanks for the link. I am reading it now. ;) | 11:48 |
| Ja23 | Hello! Maybe you can help me? My Problem: | 11:48 |
| Ja23 | Using DiskCreator I made a bootable usb drive with Ubuntu using 10.10-desktop-amd64.iso, when I run it on my computer there is no option for running it as a LiveCD, only for fixing an existing version of Ubuntu or for installing a new one | 11:48 |
| lighta | with device you mean harddrive yeah ? | 11:48 |
| Ja23 | Does anyone know how to fix this? or if I could use a DVD to make a live CD? | 11:48 |
| aguitel | rishi,in software sources under system administration | 11:49 |
| aguitel | rishi,open it | 11:49 |
| brverg | <deww> ok thx... lately my internet connection seems to abnormally slower than before. i contacted the network provider but nothing is wrong... | 11:50 |
| bastidrazor | brverg: someone is leeching your wifi? | 11:51 |
| brverg | <bastidrazor> how do i ensure that? btw i use dsl cable | 11:51 |
| aguitel | rishi, in the fist tab it say:downloading for.... choose other mirror and then best mirror | 11:51 |
| lighta | Ja23, any support can make liveUbuntu | 11:51 |
| === cftygv is now known as sougata_ | ||
| schnuffle | rishi: or the number of wifi networks in your area raised | 11:52 |
| bastidrazor | brverg: do you have a wireless router? | 11:52 |
| theprototype | Waddup ya'll =) . . anyone know how i can look at the source from a .sh file ?? | 11:52 |
| theprototype | i renamed to .txt with no joy. (i am a noob) | 11:52 |
| schnuffle | theprototype: open it in a editor | 11:52 |
| brverg | <bastidrazor> no | 11:53 |
| rigved | Ja23: you can use a DVD to create a LiveCD, but I do not know about your USB Live System problem. just curious, do you get a screen (with black background) and a list of options (like repair and install etc.) | 11:53 |
| rishi | aguitel: schnuffle: There is an outside chance that the Natty kernel backport for Lucid that is available from kernel-ppa has broken my Ethernet. | 11:53 |
| bastidrazor | brverg: then you 'ensured' it well. :| | 11:53 |
| * rishi keeps poking | 11:53 | |
| DJones | theprototype: I would have thought it was just nano filename.sh in a terminal or right click on the file and open with gedit | 11:53 |
| theprototype | schnuffle any recommended editors? somehow this scrip is "trial" version, and i wanna take a look at it. I found it here http://fadzilmahfodh.blogspot.com/ | 11:54 |
| rigved | rishi: Natty support is available on #ubuntu+1. but i do not think that they provide support for backports | 11:54 |
| brverg | <bastidrazor> speaking of that, my mozilla browser crashes if i open more than one tab of youtube at a time... something wrong with my flashplayer? | 11:54 |
| aguitel | rishi, you want to install another kernel from ppa? | 11:54 |
| Ja23 | Hey rigved, when I boot from my usb I first get to choose my language, then the next screen has the options like repair and install, but the background Is purpley I think | 11:54 |
| theprototype | schnuffle if you look at that script, it would be nice if u can tell me if it will actually do what it sais it will | 11:55 |
| schnuffle | theprototype: gedit is alright | 11:55 |
| rigved | Ja23: then it's proper. i don't know what's causing this problem. maybe someone else can help you | 11:55 |
| bastidrazor | brverg: run firefox from a terminal and see why it crashes. | 11:56 |
| brverg | <bastidrazor> if you don't mind, what is it i need to type in terminal in order to run firefox...? | 11:57 |
| lighta | theprototype, isn't this just aircrack utility ? | 11:57 |
| bastidrazor | brverg: firefox | 11:57 |
| schnuffle | theprototype: the file i a binary and not a h script | 11:57 |
| === erkan^2 is now known as erkan^ | ||
| theprototype | lighta yes its a script for aircrack so i dont have to type a lot. They just got it as a "Trial" script and im suspicious | 11:58 |
| theprototype | schnuffle how would i open a binary file ? | 11:58 |
| wewe | hi guys | 11:59 |
| theprototype | schnuffle well i'll look that one up i guess | 11:59 |
| wewe | i have some question | 11:59 |
| schnuffle | theprototype: if you really want to open it, use a hex editor | 11:59 |
| lighta | open to read what on ? that reverse engenering you have tool for this but depend on langage ot always possible to reverse it | 11:59 |
| Curly_Q | Schuffle, is the 127.0.0.2 considered the loopback address for tunnelling? | 11:59 |
| theprototype | schnuffle yea i just google searched and reading the wiki on binary files thats what it said =D | 12:00 |
| brverg | <bastidrazor> ok... i've opened firefox via the terminal, now what shall i do? repeat what i did with firefox earlier? | 12:00 |
| rigved | theprototype: type in the terminal - file filename.ext | 12:00 |
| schnuffle | Curly_Q: not really | 12:00 |
| bastidrazor | brverg: yes. | 12:00 |
| schnuffle | Curly_Q: it's a coice | 12:00 |
| schnuffle | choice | 12:00 |
| Curly_Q | It seems like a bypass address for the 127.0.0.1 loopback. | 12:00 |
| Pumpkin- | everything in 127.0.0.0/8 is loopback | 12:01 |
| wewe | if i wanna run a program as root ? | 12:01 |
| wewe | how can i do it | 12:02 |
| Curly_Q | Pumpking nice explanation. | 12:02 |
| popey | !sudo | wewe | 12:02 |
| ubottu | wewe: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 12:02 |
| theprototype | rigved thanks didn't know about that | 12:02 |
| schnuffle | Curly_Q: they use 127.0.0.2 to avoid conflicts | 12:02 |
| Curly_Q | Schnuffle, that makes sense. | 12:02 |
| rigved | theprototype: did that help? | 12:02 |

| wewe | can i do as permission ? | 12:03 |
| Curly_Q | I use VLC viewer and in Windows XP pro VLC sets up its own .hosts file due to the fact that VLC is a server for video. | 12:03 |
| theprototype | rigved well i'm going to use a hex editor to look at it. but im not sure if my knowledge is extensive enough to decide if its trustworthy. it sais i wont need a dictionary for aircrack and WPA using that script, seems a bit far fethced | 12:03 |
| scyte | Wat search engine do you guys use, I dont want to use google anymore! | 12:04 |
| theprototype | scyte google with proxy switcher | 12:04 |
| schnuffle | wewe: you can use setuid but you should know what you're doing cause it's a potential security risk | 12:04 |
| rigved | theprototype: ok. glad to help | 12:04 |
| scyte | theprototype I wil google proxy switcher to find more information about it | 12:04 |
| wewe | i used GNS3 but the most feature it does work when i run it as root | 12:05 |
| theprototype | scyte well, i think proxy is strictly windows, but basically route your traffic to look like your in a different country/city to get different results | 12:05 |
| theprototype | scyte sorry, proxy switcher* | 12:05 |
| scyte | theprototype i got foxyproxy with bt4 rc2 installed i am running a live usb | 12:05 |
| scyte | theprototype would that do the same job? | 12:06 |
| theprototype | scyte pretty much. depends on what kind info u put in there | 12:06 |
| theprototype | scyte slow search results the further u get away from home or higher the ping | 12:06 |
| theprototype | scyte of course | 12:06 |
| theprototype | scyte hops w/e | 12:06 |
| wewe | so if there is any command that i can do it once and the program work always as root | 12:06 |
| scyte | theprototype ok thanks | 12:07 |
| bastidrazor | wewe: what command? | 12:07 |
| ejcweb | How would I go about updating from 10.04 to 10.10? I assumed that it might happen automatically as part of the normal updates. | 12:07 |
| bastidrazor | !upgrade | ejcweb | 12:07 |
| ubottu | ejcweb: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 12:07 |
| lighta | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:07 |
| bastidrazor | lighta: that will not change distro versions | 12:08 |
| lighta | ah sry =) | 12:08 |
| wewe | i used GNS3 and all feature work perfectly on root so i need any command that can be do it once and the GNS3 work as root when i run it | 12:08 |
| schnuffle | wewe: yes there is but as I told you, be sure you know what you do: chown root <program> && chmod u+s <program> | 12:08 |
| wewe | the command should be in root mode , right ? | 12:09 |
| schnuffle | wewe: yes | 12:09 |
| theprototype | scyte np hope it helped =) | 12:09 |

| exile | wish i knew, there's nothing pertinent in /var/log/syslog, last message is about cron being killed by TERM. this is on a remote unattended server, just a whole lot of --MARK-- since then, then nothing as sysklogd didnt start after a reboot | 12:26 |
| jrib | exile: can you start it manually? | 12:27 |
| schnuffle | Curly_Q: you only need your box and the box yu want to connect to, nothing more | 12:27 |
| exile | yes, but it won't catch anything on boot | 12:27 |
| schnuffle | Curly_Q: and of course te remote box needs ssh enabled | 12:27 |
| Curly_Q | OK thanks. Schematic diagram mentions a 3rd box. | 12:27 |
| jrib | exile: how do you start it munually? | 12:28 |
| wewe | schnuffle, i did it in the file but still it dose not work | 12:28 |
| schnuffle | Curly_Q: it was the first hit from google, mybe I should lookup a better example | 12:28 |
| schnuffle | wewe: can you be more precise about what is not working? | 12:28 |
| Curly_Q | I am actually logged in with SSH. No that was a good example. I am sure I can find stuff on it. I appreciate you pointing me in that direction. | 12:29 |
| exile | jrib: /etc/init.d/sysklogd start (also tried via initctl start rc, which fails) | 12:29 |
| jrib | exile: ok, so we should figure out why it fails with initctl | 12:29 |
| DECA | heeeeeelp :) how to restore main top panel if you delete it ??? | 12:29 |
| exile | i'd love to know where that's logged to | 12:29 |
| schnuffle | Curly_Q: the important part is that you use remote portforwarding | 12:29 |
| exile | but upstart doco is very vague | 12:29 |
| bastidrazor | !resetpanels | DECA | 12:29 |
| ubottu | DECA: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 12:29 |

| Curly_Q | Schnuffle, when doing an apt-get to install FreeNX, how often do you use sudo apt-get update ? And what about the sudo aptitude install freenx ? | 12:41 |
| schnuffle | Curly_Q: aptitude is the recommended way of installing it unites apt-get and apt-cache and has better dependency resolution | 12:42 |
| exile | jrib, yes | 12:42 |
| bastidrazor | Curly_Q: i personally apt-get update before i do anything else. uptodate package lists are important. | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Curly_Q: you 'sudo apt-get update' every time you add/remove repos.. or want to refresj the package listings. | 12:42 |
| jrib | exile: yes, it's logging to a remote host? | 12:42 |
| exile | jrib, yes i'm on a remote host - no grub | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not sure aptitude is really that recommended any more.. but some people perfer it.. | 12:42 |
| schnuffle | Curly_Q: Before I install a package I do a aptitude update, just to be sure to have the actual package list | 12:42 |
| Curly_Q | I see. It is almost like a windows updater. | 12:43 |
| bastidrazor | i thought aptitude was being phased out in the later versions of ubuntu? | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Curly_Q: the apt update system works MUCH better then windows update ever did | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | bastidrazor: its not installed by default any more./ | 12:43 |
| jrib | exile: did you setup sysklogd to log to a remote host? | 12:43 |

| solstice | hi. I tried the latest NN α3 and I was very very unimpressed. like 10.10 final I had to wait at least 5 minutes with the ubuntu logo on screen and the dots canging colors ! and after getting the screen with (you need 2.6GB and internet and (I don't remeber)) it stays there doing apprently nothing. I shut it down after 5 more minutes. wtf ! | 12:46 |

| jrib | exile: you can add the redirection lines in the actual init script (even though the upstart link I gave is saying to do it for actual upstart jobs, just do it in the init.d script. Although I guess you can do both and add it to the rc upstart job to see if it's actually useful). Just redirect the output to some file you can get at later | 12:46 |
| exile | schnuffle, rc.local has (practically) nothing in it, i'll add syslog there. | 12:46 |

| gumus | Package sun-java6-fonts is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source | 13:37 |

| jrib | gumus: if you want sun's java, have you enabled the partner repository? | 13:37 |
| airtonix | sre-su: not sure what to say, i'd look at the files it describes in ther | 13:37 |

| gayle | gumus: I was saying you could give me the URL to the site you play chess on and I'll see if the icetea plugin works on it. | 13:44 |
| AbuBadr | gayle, thanks it works now but i think sun java is better how to use sun java? | 13:44 |
| gumus | gayle: so far , i found jin and fics but failed to launch any of them so, doesn't matter which website :D | 13:44 |

| keith27 | why do i have like thousands of blocked connections from different ips on port 1 over the past 2 days? | 13:46 |

| gayle | AbuBadr: gumus sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner” | 13:46 |
| ruan | mrowa: yeah i know, but what are the software differences? | 13:46 |
| ruan | eg. performance | 13:46 |

| mrowa | I've go a question, where can I post a question about naming of applets in ubuntu polish translation? :> Some of the names tell nothing :> | 13:52 |
| ruan | keith27: have you tried checking with netstat? | 13:52 |
| mrowa | (not only in polish, but I'm using polish translation)... what can you tell from "session applet | 13:52 |
| mrowa | ;) | 13:52 |
| gayle | AbuBadr: gumus The "Ubuntu Software" tab displays a list of repositories or "Channels". | 13:53 |
| mrowa | ("session indicator applet") | 13:53 |
| ruan | mrowa: session indicator applet.. indicates sessions? | 13:54 |
| AbuBadr | gayle, where is that tab?? | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Repositories being called channels.. makes me feel old./ heh.. | 13:54 |
| gayle | AbuBadr: Main Menu: System > Administration > Software Sources. | 13:54 |
| mrowa | yes, the problem is, the name (when you try to add it to panel) says nothing. Especially, when you accidently deleted the original one. | 13:55 |
| gayle | AbuBadr: gumus Or: Synaptic : System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager : >> Settings >> Repositories. | 13:55 |
| ruan | for some reason, software sources doesn't appear for me under administration, however it launches from terminal. is there a reason for this? | 13:55 |

| mer_ge | is firefox 4 coming to the official ubuntu 10.04 repos? | 13:56 |

| mer_ge | nice! | 13:57 |
| ruan | mer_ge: when its out of beta that is | 13:57 |
| ruan | not sure if it is already in repos as beta | 13:57 |
| Zuhaitz | Is posible to create different gnome terminal profiles for different language sessions? Thanks. | 13:58 |
| mer_ge | I mean if it'll be just part of a system update | 13:58 |
| iceroot | mer_ge: no | 13:58 |
| Dr_Willis | I would think it may become to backports | 13:58 |
| AbuBadr | gayle, ok opened that.. what to do next? sorry i'm new to linux | 13:58 |
| mer_ge | backports? or some ppa? | 13:58 |
| iceroot | mer_ge: ah sorry, 10.04 yes, but only because it is lts and ubuntu is not building firefox from source, just using the mozilla binaries | 13:58 |
| iceroot | mer_ge: in all other ubuntu releases there will be no featurte update like ff3.6 - 4.0 | 13:59 |
| mer_ge | okay | 13:59 |
| iceroot | mer_ge: on ubuntu 8.04 the ubuntu-team was also putting a newer version in the repos from thunderbird and firefox because of the binary-build | 14:00 |
| iceroot | mer_ge: but that step will happen if firefox 3.6 is no lomger supported by mozilla | 14:00 |
| mer_ge | oh | 14:00 |
| mer_ge | that may take a while | 14:00 |

| gayle | gumus: Oh I don't know, but I would say auto mode... | 14:06 |
| jrib | ruan: why? | 14:06 |
| ruan | jrib: was attempting to remove it from update manager list | 14:06 |
| gayle | gumus: AbuBadr 82% | 14:06 |
| jrib | ruan: why? | 14:06 |
| rooty | is there anything that support mass renaming of movie files/folders | 14:06 |
| ruan | jrib: since i dont need it | 14:06 |
| gayle | rooty: | 14:06 |
| ruan | jrib: no daylight savings or anything | 14:07 |
| jrib | ruan: why do you believe you don't need it? | 14:07 |
| jrib | ruan: you need it | 14:07 |
| ugliefrog | im trying to completely remove all traces of a program...but when i use (apt-get remove --purge "program name") i still see remnants of config files and directories...i need it all gone....everything is there a wild card? or is best to fresh install | 14:07 |
| ruan | jrib: eh.. my time is perfectly correct | 14:07 |
| rooty | yea gayle ? | 14:07 |
| ruan | jrib: what would tzdata be needed for? | 14:07 |
| jrib | ugliefrog: what remnants do you see? | 14:07 |
| gayle | rooty: Yes, | 14:07 |
| jrib | ruan: it's a dependency of the libc6 package. | 14:07 |
| rooty | mind sharing the app name | 14:07 |
| gumus | ok then, it's now time to reinstall the jin | 14:07 |
| === krabbe is now known as Krabbe | ||
| ruan | jrib: oh ok | 14:08 |
| AbuBadr | gayle, "AbuBadr: gumus add the sofrware source partner" how to do that? | 14:08 |
| gayle | rooty: Let's say you want your .MP3 extenions to all say .mp3 | 14:08 |
| scotty^ | OK, I was able to remove the newer GTK+ I compiled by using sudo make uninstall. This made all the themes available again so I switched themes and then back again. I then restarted my system. My desktop looks a bit better now and all my controls and indicators (buttons, progress bars, list boxes, combo boxes etc.) look a _lot_ better (they like like they used to). | 14:08 |
| gayle | rooty: for i in *.MP3; do mv "$i" "`basename "$i" .MP3`.mp3"; done | 14:08 |
| acicula | ugliefrog: purge does not remove config files created after installation | 14:08 |
| gayle | AbuBadr: Main Menu: System > Administration > Software Sources. | 14:08 |
| ugliefrog | jrib, In the file system the directories are still there...im trying to setup a mythtv box on a seperate pc (nightmare) but i need to start a new | 14:08 |
| gayle | AbuBadr: you are also 10.04 right? | 14:09 |
| scotty^ | Firefox still wouldn't start, although the error I was getting when typing firefox at the command prompt was gone. | 14:09 |
| gumus | gayle: worked fine! Thanks a lot | 14:09 |
| jrib | ugliefrog: dpkg -S /path/to/file will tell you what package is responsible | 14:09 |
| ugliefrog | acicula, so you have to find them by hand...or by eye :) | 14:09 |
| AbuBadr | gayle, yes 10.04 | 14:09 |
| acicula | scotty^: you may want to run a check to see what files have gone missing that were overwritten by your make install and subsequently deleted by uninstall | 14:09 |
| acicula | ugliefrog: correct | 14:09 |
| ugliefrog | jrib, so that commands lists the package i want to remove | 14:09 |
| acicula | ugliefrog: there are standards though, so /etc, /var and /home depending on the program | 14:10 |
| scotty^ | So I followed [segfault]'s suggestion of removing firefox and reinstalling it. Firefox now works again! | 14:10 |
| scotty^ | Thankyou to everyone for your assistance! | 14:10 |
| [segfault] | scotty^: yay :) | 14:10 |
| gayle | AbuBadr: gumus When your done, go to http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp to test. | 14:10 |
| rooty | gayle, i was looking for something down the lines of api lookup and renaming according to that. I have over 2k movies public i goto rename | 14:10 |
| acicula | ugliefrog: data isnt purged either btw | 14:10 |
| scotty^ | <group hug> | 14:10 |
| gayle | rooty: Well, I don't know then. | 14:11 |
| dKingston | ok, uh | 14:11 |
| dKingston | where is compiz in ubuntu? | 14:11 |
| gayle | AbuBadr: gumus Mine works.... | 14:11 |
| rooty | might end up writing something. windows users have a wide variaty of options to choose from | 14:11 |
| scotty^ | acicula - OK. How do I do that? I forgot to mention that after the make uninstall and theme switching I also ran update manager and installed the available gtk+ updates. | 14:11 |
| gayle | rooty: Well, it's probably out there. But I just find it quicker to user CLI. | 14:12 |
| jrib | rooty: apt-cache searh mass rename should turn up a couple of such tools. But you can just use a basic for loop or « rename » with a regular expression if you prefer | 14:12 |
| acicula | scotty^: dunno, but im sure dpkg or apt has an option to check if its missing any files | 14:12 |
| wakawaka | Hi guys, I'm in a pickle. I've been dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.0X. Today, when I try to choose Ubuntu from the boot loader, some message flashes on the screen extremely quickly about a file not found, and then the system restarts. There is a considerable amount of work I haven't backed up (foolishly), so I really need to recover it. What do I do? | 14:12 |
| ruan | wakawaka: can you boot into recovery mode? | 14:13 |
| OerHeks | dKingston, compiz is already installed, all you need is compiz manager | 14:14 |
| rigved | wakawaka: or you can use the LiveCD | 14:14 |
| dKingston | OerHeks: where is it? | 14:14 |
| dKingston | on apt, i mean | 14:14 |
| wakawaka | ruan, I don't think so, the boot loader only has Windows 7 and Ubuntu as options. Perhaps there is an advanced options screen? | 14:14 |
| rooty | not looking for regex renaming thats easy | 14:14 |
| ruan | wakawaka: is this windows bootloader or grub? | 14:15 |
| OerHeks | dKingston, after install, it shoul appear in System > Pref | 14:15 |
| rooty | something similar to this http://www.therenamer.com/screenshots.html | 14:15 |

| wakawaka | ruan, let me check to make sure. I'll be back | 14:15 |

| jrib | rooty: ah, well this is a different question | 14:18 |

| acicula | !grub2 | acicula | 14:19 |
| ubottu | acicula, please see my private message | 14:19 |
| fahad | when i connect to an AP, it lasts for a while, and then i lose connectivity especially with surfing the net using internet browser | 14:20 |
| ruan | !recovery | 14:20 |
| ubottu | To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 14:20 |
| jrib | rooty: there's imdb-rename in the imdb-tools package but it is a command line application (I believe) | 14:20 |
| fahad | AP uses WPA2 encryption | 14:20 |
| jack_ | What is the best DVD ripping software? I'm looking for an alternative to using dvdfab in wine. | 14:20 |
| gavinwu | smplayer | 14:20 |
| rooty | i hate gui cmd for life. thanks jrib ill have a look | 14:20 |
| rigved | wakawaka: as an alternative, install grub2 to the MBR and boot Windows from there. use LiveCD like ruan suggested ^^ | 14:21 |
| spmccann | fahad wjhat version of ubuntu are you using | 14:21 |
| fahad | version lcid 10.4 | 14:21 |
| sudipta | because yesterday when i double click a .ini file and my upper paner jast vanished!can anyone tell me why this happened? | 14:21 |
| rigved | wakawaka: you probably did a Windows update that changed the boot.ini in C:\ | 14:21 |
| jrib | rooty: ah, when you asked for something similar to therenamer.com I assumed you meant the gui part originally :) | 14:21 |
| wakawaka | rigved, ah that makes sense | 14:22 |
| Jeruvy | sudipta: can you pastebin the ini file? | 14:22 |
| jack_ | gavinwu: does this rip dvds? it looks like a player | 14:22 |
| Ububegin | rigved: So i use LiveCD and reinstall grub2 , issit | 14:22 |
| sudipta | <Jeruvy>no...I deleted it :) | 14:22 |
| wakawaka | rigved, I originally installed ubuntu FROM windows. Do I just reinstall? | 14:22 |
| fahad | version lucid 10.04 , correction | 14:22 |
| gavinwu | o,sorry | 14:22 |
| rigved | Ububegin: yes | 14:22 |
| Jeruvy | jack_: try mencoder | 14:22 |
| rigved | wakawaka: ohh. that means that you have wubi installed | 14:22 |
| sudipta | <Jeruvy>besides i could not be able to open it up myself in grdit | 14:23 |
| Ububegin | rigved: sorry issit sudo apt-get install grub.... | 14:23 |
| Jeruvy | sudipta: suggestion. Don't click on unknown files :) | 14:23 |
| spmccann | fahad . what wireless card are you using ? | 14:23 |

| rigved | !fixmbr | Ububegin | 14:23 |
| ruan | wakawaka: is there a reason why you can't access the files using windows? | 14:23 |
| ubottu | Ububegin: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 14:23 |
| wakawaka | ruan, the files are stored in a 17gb .disk image. How can I open that? | 14:23 |
| Ububegin | rigved: kk, i will read the docs... thanks | 14:23 |
| rigved | Ububegin: use the RestoreGrub link | 14:23 |

| ruan | wakawaka: might work | 14:25 |
| noob | hi | 14:26 |
| rigved | wakawaka: still, i would suggest that you create a 40 GB partition and install Ubuntu to that. this much space will be more than enough for most types of work... | 14:27 |
| toto__ | anyone there using spotify? or grooveshark? | 14:27 |
| noob | comparing ubuntu 10.10 to ubuntu 7.04 i should say WOW WOW WOW Oh My God this is gr8 :) | 14:27 |
| toto__ | one says login failed (password resetted, no way) the other one says flash blocked | 14:27 |

| gayle | gumus: Right-click on an empty space on the desktop and choose "Creat Launcher" | 14:31 |
| gayle | AbuBadr: NP | 14:31 |
| acicula | toto__: i dont know grooveshark | 14:31 |
| toto__ | acicula, ok so it will work if I pay. but are the files in high quality? | 14:31 |
| toto__ | i mean: is it flac? wav? | 14:31 |
| rigved | gumus: sorry, didn't see gayle's post. | 14:31 |
| toto__ | or is it crappy mp3 | 14:31 |
| deno | hi there | 14:31 |
| gumus | rigved: it's ok .np | 14:31 |
| xxy | OK？ | 14:32 |
| acicula | toto__: look on spotify i suppose | 14:32 |
| deno | do you know how could it be possible that after uninstalling a library, modifiying it and reinstalling it,the program uses the old lib? | 14:32 |
| toto__ | acicula, ok i ll go. i d like to try it before paying though...! | 14:32 |
| acicula | toto__: though spotify is dirt cheap already for what it provides | 14:32 |
| GaLaXY_XZ | just use xdg-desktop-icon | 14:32 |
| noob | when delta updates system will be implemented on ubuntu ??? | 14:33 |
| acicula | toto__: just remember its not a download service, its a streaming service of sorts. could try wine with the windows binary of spotify though | 14:33 |
| toto__ | acicula, well, it may be dirt cheap, it it provides things i don t want, (bad quality - not my music), it s stupid and pointless to pay, ... any amount... | 14:33 |
| acicula | deno: it has to do with the way dynamic library loading is handled | 14:34 |
| toto__ | acicula, wine thing! sure! good idea! | 14:34 |

| deno | acicula, uhm but if the old one there isn't anymore, how could it be possible? | 14:35 |

| progre55 | hi guys. is it possible to specify a system-wide alias for a hostname? just like you'd map an IP address in /etc/hosts, but I need to map a long domain name to a shorter alias, and afaik, I cannot do that in /etc/hosts | 15:03 |
| rjgonza | why not in etc/hosts? | 15:04 |
| AnubArack | edbian, i spent like 2 hours to get to this state of the od (with themes and software, configs and what not :( | 15:04 |
| progre55 | rjgonza: because it's not an IP address.. or mb I'm missing smth | 15:04 |
| AnubArack | od = OS* | 15:04 |
| progre55 | rjgonza: the actual IP address behind the domain might change.. so I just need to map my alias to the domain name | 15:05 |
| [segfault] | AnubArack: sorry, but I don't know of anything that will do what you are looking to do. | 15:05 |
| AnubArack | no problem, i'll see if I can start gnome-screenshot before the login screen | 15:06 |
| [segfault] | AnubArack: It is *possible* that you could clone your current setup and put it into a virtualbox disk image, then use that, but I think it might be easier to just configure a virtual machine from scratch. | 15:06 |
| rjgonza | progre55: only thing I can think of is some kind of url shortener, goo.gl or something like that | 15:06 |
| gayle | Pumpkin-: Yea, you can put them anywhere and then symlink to /etc/init.d/ | 15:07 |
| progre55 | rjgonza: I was told you could specify it in the search line in /etc/resolv.conf | 15:08 |
| [segfault] | progre55: yes, or if you have a decent router, you can do it there with dnsmasq or other settings as an alternative. | 15:08 |
| progre55 | let me have a look at that.. | 15:08 |
| gayle | Pumpkin-: Sorry, just now saw your comment | 15:08 |
| gayle | Pumpkin-: But the normal place to put them is in /etc/rc* directories | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | progre55: in /etc/hosts --> "the.ip.goes.here super_very_long_name short_name" ? | 15:10 |
| === breadbox_ is now known as breadbox | ||
| progre55 | erUSUL: but as I said, the IP might change, and I want the lookup to be external. I just want to shorten the domain name itself for usability | 15:11 |
| progre55 | erUSUL: because the server is on amazon, and I'm binding the elastic domain name to a shorter alias | 15:12 |
| progre55 | and if you know, the amazon IPs change constantly | 15:12 |
| trukosh | progre55: add "search long.domain.name" to /etc/resolv.conf - then you can communicate with the hostname only. | 15:14 |
| progre55 | trukosh: thanks, that's what I was looking for | 15:15 |

| inad922 | I've installed an ubuntu box with /boot on raid1 with the alternative install disk. Everything went fine I installed some programs restarted a few times with no problem. I packed the box and powered up and now I get an fd0 read error and prompted to grub rescue. Anyone has a guess what might cause this? | 15:21 |
| ikonia | Smile42RU: postfix and dovecot are well documented, roundcube is just webmail that will work with any imap server | 15:21 |
| erkan^ | !blackberry | 15:21 |
| ikonia | inad922: the fd0 is not a problem, ignore it | 15:21 |
| inad922 | Yeah ok but it doesn't boot... | 15:22 |
| ikonia | inad922: how did you build the raid array, mdadm ? | 15:22 |
| v0lksman | Smile42RU, lots of good howto's on the subject here: http://howtoforge.com/ | 15:22 |
| inad922 | Umm I guess that was behind it. But I used the debian installer from the "alternative" install disk | 15:23 |
| missbos | hi askum | 15:23 |
| missbos | ada yang bisa bantuin saya | 15:23 |
| ikonia | inad922: so you installed ubuntu 10.10 from the alternative CD and configured raid from within the CD Installer ? | 15:23 |
| Smile42RU | thanx all... go smoke man :) | 15:23 |
| ikonia | missbos: english only in this channel please. | 15:23 |
| inad922 | ikonia: Prolly fdisk -> mdadm -> mke2fs was it | 15:23 |
| ikonia | inad922: did you do that process, or did the installer ? | 15:24 |
| inad922 | ikonia: Yeah I made the partitions -> I made raid arrays -> I made filesystems | 15:24 |
| inad922 | ikonia: The installer | 15:24 |
| ikonia | inad922: please listen to the question, did YOU do that, or did the installer | 15:24 |
| ikonia | ok, the installer | 15:24 |
| ikonia | inad922: so if it's dropping to the grub rescue prompt it is because it cannot see the raid array for /boot | 15:24 |
| ikonia | inad922: boot from a rescue format and try to manually start the array, see if it complains | 15:25 |
| inad922 | ikonia: It's intresting since I managed to boot several times before this. | 15:25 |
| ikonia | inad922: or the machine can't see the disks/partitions check they are visible | 15:25 |

| numexa | ikonia: it doesn`t load my eth0 device... | 15:28 |

| triptec | is there a new domain or port for msn, empathy doesn't work for me | 15:29 |
| ikonia | numexa: what does the logs say ? does it see the device and not load a module, load the wrong module, not see the device, etc | 15:29 |
| numexa | so what could be the problem? in lspci i see the network card... | 15:29 |
| numexa | lspci show the device, ifconfig -a doesn`t show anything | 15:29 |
| numexa | this what i know | 15:29 |
| nishant | are you conected using the same network card , meaning you dont get the full funcionality of the device ? | 15:29 |
| ikonia | numexa: lspci is nothing to do with the device, ifconfig will only display it once the device is configured and working | 15:29 |
| user | one question, i want to connect to a wlan-network with my ubuntu server but the network name has a "!" in it... how can i solve this problem? | 15:30 |
| numexa | so what should i do ? | 15:30 |
| ikonia | numexa: so, what do the logs say, does it see the device and load the wrong module, load no module, not see the device etc etc | 15:30 |
| Nahlidge | rename the network name, by removing the '!'? | 15:30 |
| numexa | ikonia: you want me to fetch the logs from where? | 15:30 |
| numexa | ikonia: dmesg ? | 15:30 |
| ikonia | numexa: dmesg is valid, have a look through it | 15:30 |
| numexa | ok | 15:30 |
| user | how can i rename the network easily? | 15:31 |
| ikonia | numexa: if you don't know where to look for logs, I'd strongly advise you to not look at compiling a kernel for no reason | 15:31 |
| Nahlidge | login to the router via browser? | 15:31 |
| ikonia | numexa: that's not meant rude, just as a warning | 15:31 |
| user | but it will affect all the other clients in the network, doesnt it? | 15:31 |
| Nahlidge | they'll just have to reconnect to it | 15:32 |

| marienz | jiltdil: gzip-compressed. You can actually omit that on nonancient versions of tar, it'll autodetect it. | 16:16 |

| numpy | greg3000: has this worked before? my thought would be if your tunneling through localhost, localhosts input resources will be reserved for ..localhost not for the remote service just my thoughts | 16:17 |

| [segfault] | greg3000: rwat: +1 on x11vnc | 16:20 |
| rwat | greg3000: if you have a picture I think you must have 2 way communication, so it can only be the either the client is screwed, or the server end is not starting properly | 16:21 |
| greg3000 | rwat: probably, I will try something other than tightvnc | 16:21 |
| rwat | greg3000: AFAIK vnc only ever uses TCP, not UDP so you should be fine tunnelling through ssh | 16:22 |
| greg3000 | rwat: agreed, I tunnel for all my remote servers | 16:23 |

| raido | terry: Yes, but its not the current version | 16:40 |

| raido | jiltdil: wrong package name | 16:41 |

| Repgahroll | hmm. I'm really impressed with Google Chrome. :) Now that a real alternative for firefox exists, i'm abandoning it... Firefox don't care about Linux and in the past we were forced to accept the poor performance (since 2.0 the windows (wine) version is >2x faster). Now we can show them that we are not fools and we are not that insignificant. :) | 16:42 |

| Diverdude | [segfault], so i guess the most frequent a crontab can run is once every minute? | 16:55 |
| [segfault] | Diverdude: yeah | 16:55 |

| terry | savid: Does chrome have it's own plugins directory? | 17:09 |
| s0u][ight | well, i have added a ppa and then did an upgrade/dist-upgrade, the dist-upgrade installed a lot of new packages (unnessessary). now i have removed the ppa, but the newly installed packages are still there (i did fix the upgraded packages etc). is there someone nice enough to add the ppa and give me a list of all packages the dist-upgrade proces wants to install, (obviously not installing them) | 17:10 |
| savid | terry: not sure | 17:10 |
| [segfault] | wewe: use sudo to run it...not sure if that is what you want | 17:10 |
| terry | savid: How did you install the new flashplayer ? | 17:10 |
| Fjodor | s0u][ight: Re-add the ppa, then use ppa-purge on it | 17:10 |
| terry | Just look and see where the file(s) are. | 17:10 |
| red2kic | terry: Maybe in ~/.config/chromium/ \ | 17:11 |
| s0u][ight | Fjodor, i did do that, it fixes upgraded packages, but doesn't remove newly installed ones | 17:11 |

| Cody3290 | I probably know what you're all going to tell me, but I'll ask anyway: If I want to use a program like Dreamweaver, shouldI runit through wine or find a linux equivilant such as NVU? | 17:14 |
| [segfault] | wewe: if it is one of the programs from the menu, go into the menu editor and just add gksu in front of it, and that will have the same effect as well. | 17:14 |

| delinquentme | Cody3290, dreamweaver is really a industry standard for WYSYG editors | 17:16 |
| delinquentme | ( or however you spell it :P ) | 17:17 |
| savid | Chrome is supposed to "silently update" flash player. I don't understand why it's telling _me_ to update it. | 17:17 |

| [segfault] | wewe: no, I don't, sorry... perhaps someone else does though. | 17:17 |
| DJones | Cody3290: There also used to be one called nvu which changed its name to Kompozer | 17:17 |
| DJones | !nvu | Cody3290 | 17:18 |
| ubottu | Cody3290: kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. Note that there is a GTK incompatibility in !Intrepid and !Jaunty, so users of those releases should use the !PPA at https://launchpad.net/~giuseppe-iuculano/+archive/ppa instead. | 17:18 |
| wewe | segfault: and there are problems when i work on it in my user, so i jump to terminal then i tried sudo -i to go into root, so the program work perfectly | 17:18 |
| terry | savid: You should check to see if the files are different before placing them in the plugins dir. That way you would know. | 17:18 |
| numpy | savid: chrome itself is populating the message to update, or a site you are trying to view a flash video on is? | 17:18 |
| savid | terry: no, I didn't -- I don't want to have to manually update flash | 17:18 |
| savid | numpy: that's chrome -- it does it on any flash site. | 17:18 |

| hubert_ | siema | 17:20 |

| rogue | ?? | 17:20 |
| hubert_ | where are you u from? | 17:20 |
| rogue | swe | 17:20 |
| hubert_ | bye | 17:20 |
| numpy | savid: thats just odd... what version of chrome are you using? I would just update chrome as its an integrated version. you can add the ppa for chrome to your apt repo to have chrome updated when updates are available. | 17:20 |
| savid | terry: not sure you follow my point -- I want _chrome_ to update flash for me, I want to utilize _chrome's_ built-in flash so that I don't have to manually udpate it myself | 17:20 |
| brontoeee | while we are chromim, any clues why chromium would punnycode the international domain names? | 17:21 |
| terry | savid: So you replaced it for firefox and not for chrome ? | 17:21 |
| brontoeee | that wont happen on win version for example | 17:21 |
| Cody3290 | How do I make a snippet? | 17:21 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:22 |

| stefwal | no problem then | 17:38 |

| axscode | is test drive default from ubuntu? | 17:38 |

| stefwal | test drive is used by a lot of beta testers | 17:38 |

| red2kic | hnsz: I see. If you're comfortable with that, so be it. If you usually operate under root, that would be a good reason to do so. However, for user admins (with sudo privelege), it is a little overboard, but a good security practice, imo. | 17:44 |

| red2kic | ipik_kal: That's not up to me to decide, but if you're trying to shave few MBs off by deleting themes + icons in /usr/share/* -- If you're new (to linux) and go with minimal approach, you usually install things from scratch, not removing things from the offical distro it came with. | 17:54 |

| cfedde | dj__: there are any number of tutorials on C and linux on the net. | 18:00 |

| terry | MnCC: So are you chrooted to /mnt/ubuntu? | 18:02 |

| zanberdo | terry, this is from the install script | 18:16 |

| x3cion | Hi, I get an error when running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure cron". It says "dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: couldn't identify the package". There are bug reports that say it's a bug in dpkg-reconfigure. Can I work around it in some way? Because it breaks dpkg-reconfigure -a | 18:17 |
| the_game | I don't like #debian | 18:17 |

| mechanist | hello everyone, friends | 18:19 |
| red2kic | Arachon: Ah. I never did it. I create it on the machine. Scp over the files. | 18:19 |
| red2kic | Arachon: Also, I like the last comment. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/dj-dup-perfect-linux-backup-software/ | 18:19 |
| Arachon | red2kic: That was... Informative... | 18:20 |
| mechanist | I have to but a new hard disk, the last one was a Maxtor SATA 3Gb, bought in 2005, i remember that i had to change it from a SATA II because my motherboard did not support sata II. What disc I could chose now, always with that motherboard? | 18:20 |
| terry | zanberdo: find /usr/ -name version.h -type f | 18:20 |

| jfo8759 | is there a way to open a locked file on secondary a hard drive? | 19:01 |
| thauriswulfa | needlez: usb modem | 19:01 |
| axscode | is there a "run as root" on linux like when running an apps on gui? | 19:01 |
| usr13 | jfo8759: should be able to. | 19:01 |
| needlez | thauriswulfa: eww, dialup really ok, ill see what i can do | 19:01 |
| Dr_Willis | axscode: you can always do 'gksudo appname' from a terminal. | 19:01 |
| thauriswulfa | needlez: ok | 19:02 |
| usr13 | jfo8759: ls -l locked.file | 19:02 |
| axscode | ill try thanks | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | axscode: one rarely needs to run differnt apps as root, those that do . are set that way in the menus to use gksudo as needed. | 19:02 |
| usr13 | jfo8759: Show us what it looks like. | 19:02 |
| harisund | What all do I need to do to change the hostname of a Ubuntu machine? Simply running "hostname <newhostname>" isn't persistent accross reboots | 19:02 |
| raven | hi. boot hangs up at this picture http://picpaste.de/5268297cc4e1ba6ec0ef71fbeebb956f.JPG - any solution? | 19:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !hostname | harisund | 19:02 |
| ubottu | harisund: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 19:02 |
| lotuspsychje | how do i reset alsamixer to defaults? | 19:02 |
| harisund | Thanks Dr_Willis | 19:02 |

| raven | hi. booting hangs up at this picture http://picpaste.de/5268297cc4e1ba6ec0ef71fbeebb956f.JPG - any solution? | 19:05 |

| jfo8759 | usr13 not sure what you mean by what it looks like but its a lost+found file. i learned the command for opening locked files on main drive but not secondary drives. didnt know about ls -l locked.file, i'll try it thanks. | 19:05 |
| usr13 | lotuspsychje: Which is to say that I don't know if alsamixer HAS any defaults. | 19:05 |

| Dr_Willis | dribble: depends on your proxy needs. | 19:08 |
| lotuspsychje | dribble: socks.net has good proxys too | 19:08 |

| MnCC | terry: ? | 19:14 |
| krzys123 | Hi, will I be able to run 1440 x 900 px resolution on integrated intel 845 graphic card? | 19:14 |
| Dr_Willis | krzys123: even the low end intel video on my netbooks can do that res. | 19:15 |
| Roasted | If I'm setting the default local profile in /etc/skel, what permissions and ownership should /etc/skel have? root:root and 644 or 755 or what? | 19:15 |
| krzys123 | Dr_Willis: Well my PC is also really old. It have 64MB graphic mem. | 19:16 |
| LiquidAtom | Both disks are visible in Disk Utility, and are both reporting they are a RAID Component | 19:16 |
| terry | MnCC: Yes? | 19:16 |
| MnCC | terry: awesome dude, back in business | 19:16 |
| Dr_Willis | krzys123: you will just have to try it and see then. I doubt if anyone here would know for certin. | 19:16 |
| terry | Very good. Glad to hear it. | 19:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: the other files in /etc/skel are --> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 675 2010-08-10 16:47 .profile | 19:16 |
| terry | MnCC: Sorry we took so long to fix your problem. | 19:16 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, all right. I'm having a problem. I keep getting ICEAuthority errors, and the last thing I did was grant 755 perms recursively to that folder. I wonder if thats what I did wrong. | 19:17 |
| martijn1985 | Good evening, I'm trying to run xbmc Live 10.1 (it runs on the 10.04 kernel), but I can't get it to work. It has something to do with the Nvidia drivers and X. I can't get into any sort of GUI. Could someone help me out? | 19:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: /etc/skel is Just used when you create a new user. | 19:18 |
| MnCC | terry: np, i just reverted from winxp, got a lot to learn | 19:18 |
| jimcooncat | How do I remove evolution from the indicator applet? User uses yahoo mail. | 19:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: proberly you got some ICEAuthority files with wrong owner/permissions.. I recall deleteing them befor.. but rarely had issues with them | 19:18 |
| terry | MnCC: The learning curve is very steep /// | 19:18 |
| maujhsn | Hi, does anybody know if the Totem Movie Player has a support IRC channel? | 19:18 |
| coz_ | maujhsn, a movie player for irc? | 19:19 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, right. I'm working with ubuntu in the work environment where new users will be logging in all the time with their windows domain accounts from AD. I want the desktop to look a certain way which is why I edited it. | 19:19 |
| MnCC | terry: im supprised i got everything working as is .. finger print reader, virtualbox, webcam, htc .. its magic | 19:19 |
| Iatagore | Hi, I'm using an application called KPlato and I can't seem to use certain features like exporting documents. Would this be because I'm running GNOME? | 19:19 |
| terry | MnCC: haha yea, it's magic alright | 19:19 |
| bajk-tragbar | any ideas why my sudoed windows in KDE have an ugly windows95-like widget style while the others have oxygen? | 19:19 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, seems as if skel is 755, but the contents are 644. everything root:root. Hopefully this works... | 19:19 |
| maujhsn | No support channel | 19:19 |
| needlez | maujhsn: whats your issue with totem movie player?? | 19:19 |
| bajk-tragbar | if I run systemsettings with sudo the sytle is oxygen but it isnt applied? | 19:19 |
| Iatagore | bajk-tragbar: Isn't it because root owns those windows? | 19:19 |
| Iatagore | bajk-tragbar: Not sure though | 19:20 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, same error. lol. | 19:20 |
| coz_ | bajk-tragbar, because you are running it as root user so it will not show for user account | 19:20 |
| coz_ | bajk-tragbar, just run systemsettings without sudo | 19:20 |
| bajk-tragbar | coz_: yeah but I changed the widget theme by sudoing systemsettings itself | 19:20 |
| bajk-tragbar | coz_: now, you're getting it wrong | 19:20 |
| bajk-tragbar | the sudoed windows are in a weird widget style ;) | 19:20 |
| maujhsn | new audio visualization plug-ins! | 19:20 |
| bajk-tragbar | and it didnt help running systemsettings with sudo to change the style | 19:20 |
| bajk-tragbar | of the sudoed windwos ;) | 19:20 |
| coz_ | bajk-tragbar, ok apparenlty I came in after you started ...what is happening an d what are you trying to do? | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | bajk-tragbar: they use the root users settings for things.. | 19:21 |
| maujhsn | Needlez any answers? | 19:21 |
| Klevis | how can seed .torrent on ubuntu desktop ? | 19:21 |
| bajk-tragbar | Dr_Willis: and how do I change them? in Ubuntu I don't know where root has its files stored since I cannot actually log on as root | 19:21 |
| bajk-tragbar | maybe there is a /root/.kde folder which I can remove | 19:22 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, Im unable to create new local users now.... | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | bajk-tragbar: personally i wouldent be trying to make them look like a normal users settings.. I recall ages ago setting my 'ran as root' programs tobe bright red. :) | 19:22 |
| Klevis | how can seed .torrent on ubuntu desktop ? | 19:22 |
| Klevis | how can seed .torrent on ubuntu desktop ? | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: you could totally empty out /etc/skel if you wanted to | 19:22 |
| bajk-tragbar | :P | 19:22 |
| coz_ | bajk-tragbar, you want to change which theme ...system theme or login theme,,,, | 19:22 |
| needlez | maujhsn: no idea what you mean?? do you mean you want new visualizations?? or what?? | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Klevis: use a torrent client? | 19:22 |
| bajk-tragbar | coz_: the system theme of sudoed windows | 19:22 |
| bajk-tragbar | but I just deleted /root/.kde and now I hope it will revert to default P | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | bajk-tragbar: compiz has a setting to add (root) to the title of any windows running as root also. | 19:22 |
| marienz | Klevis: repeating your question that rapidly doesn't usually help | 19:23 |
| MnCC | terry: one last question, in windows normaly when you install/remove software you mess up you hdd/registry. how is this under ubuntu ? does it get poluted eventually like windows ? | 19:23 |
| maujhsn | Needlez, yes I want new visualizations! | 19:23 |
| Klevis | Dr_Willis what torrent client can use on ubuntu ? | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | MnCC: theres not really a 'regiestry' to mess up | 19:23 |
| bajk-tragbar | weird, the widget style IS oxygden but it has a weird old thing | 19:23 |
| Klevis | i didnt find any torrent for ubuntu | 19:23 |
| marienz | MnCC: much less so, as long as you stick to apt (or software center, or one of its other frontends) | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Klevis: theres dozens of them... transmission is the default | 19:23 |
| needlez | maujhsn: have you tried looking thru google for them?? | 19:23 |
| Iatagore | I'm running GNOME and I am trying to use an application called KPlato from KDE and certain features don't seem to work, any ideas? | 19:23 |
| bajk-tragbar | Dr_Willis: that's not what I want. I just want oxygen style for root windows and thats it^^ | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Klevis: you dident look very hard then.. | 19:23 |
| bajk-tragbar | it used to work two days ago | 19:23 |
| coz_ | bajk-tragbar, see if this works for it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/GDM/GDM-NEW.txt | 19:23 |
| MnCC | Dr_Willis, you deserve a price on the obvious | 19:23 |
| bajk-tragbar | hm I think I know what the problem was | 19:23 |
| marienz | Klevis: I don't know about creating/seeding them, but downloading them should just work | 19:23 |
| bajk-tragbar | I ran a script that did rm -rf ~/.kde as sudo (my wn creation :P) and this deleted /root/.kde instead of /home/testuser/.kde | 19:24 |
| bajk-tragbar | thanks anyway | 19:24 |
| MnCC | marienz, tnx thats what i need to know | 19:24 |

| oraqol | Hey fellas, quick question. I have an ATI vid card, when I play a game on my windows partition it runs smoothly, no problems. When I run the game on ubuntu, glitchy and choppy. i installed the ATI/AMD prop FGLRX driver. Is there another driver I should be using? | 21:43 |

| runawayhacker | mrdeb : it used ot only be after kernel upgrade for me too, but now it is after every reboot | 21:43 |
| sidh | mrdeb: the bug is fixed in maverick , but not in LTS, i'm not talking about a compiz fx or another kikoolol GUI feature, i'm just talking about nfs transfer with nfsclient that totally freeze my desktop, you know what, i've just did a safe-upgrade , install a new linux-image in the process, and still the freeze, do you believe that ? | 21:43 |

| mrdeb | sidh: well, i can believe that. i remember, although not lts, 9.04 had problematic intel drivers and it wasnt fixed until 9.1 | 21:45 |
| mrdeb | runawayhacker: yes | 21:45 |
| sidh | Jon--: man umask ? | 21:45 |
| mrdeb | runawayhacker: i would want to fix it. have you tried installing nvidia drivers yourself, vs from the repo? | 21:46 |

| inside-out-bunny | nemo: i'm not seeing any. it wouldn't sense for a mirror to use https (in general) b/c of the CPU requirements of encryption | 21:59 |
| inside-out-bunny | it wouldn't make sense, i mean | 21:59 |
| nemo | inside-out-bunny: they aren't that large, but certainly it offers no significant benefits apart from preventing people from knowing what revisions of packages you are on | 22:00 |
| nemo | inside-out-bunny: encryption is a pretty tiny extra cost though | 22:00 |
| inside-out-bunny | nemo: for the server, it is. a modest server can serve thousands of concurrent http connection but maybe a few hundred https | 22:00 |

| nemo | inside-out-bunny: although the way ubuntu does updates, it probably renegotiates for each package/update request | 22:02 |

| teropafu | ActionParsnip, i'm not sure but i might have partitioned the 30 gb when i accidentally installed ubuntu on it | 22:44 |
| oraqol | ok, i just imaged it onto a usb drive w/ unetbootin. Still, any thots on the ati drivers thats not flgrlx? | 22:45 |
| bitabit | cronus: when booting the system the "write through" message appears for a while before entering gnome desktop what you see in the paste bin are console commands to select from dmesg output the lines containing the word "through" and "error" | 22:45 |

| mark-t | hi, my gf accidentally pressed some combination of keys, and now her cursor in gmail blinks at the beginning of the line she's typing on, even when characters are inserted at the end; does anyone know how to turn this off? | 22:47 |
| teropafu | ActionParsnip, will this partition be a problem for testdisk | 22:48 |
| ilovefairuz | there's a key label INS or INSERT | 22:48 |
| teropafu | ActionParsnip, this partition issue, i meant | 22:48 |
| ilovefairuz | mark-t: ^ | 22:48 |
| bitabit | http://paste.ubuntu.com/578566/ | 22:48 |
| mark-t | it's not insert; I know what that does | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | teropafu: you only need testdisk if your FAT gets corrupted | 22:48 |
| din | so i'm wondering if someone can explain this. i removed 8 million files from a directory (took 22 hours), then when it finished and i rmdir the actual directory, it took about 5 minutes to remove it. it's an ext3 filesystem. | 22:48 |

| mark-t | I know, and that's not the issue here | 22:49 |
| din | ActionParsnip: i'm guessing it had to remove metadata references to the removed files in the journal | 22:49 |

| din | but i'm not sure | 22:49 |

| ActionParsnip | oisteink: more sense to use sdb for /home | 22:52 |
| teropafu | ActionParsnip, so can i just disregard the fact that it shows up as '30 gb filesystem' and proceed with testdisk? | 22:52 |
| oisteink | I was planning on that. But after install and updates i've got 800mb left on root | 22:52 |

| Maarten | So I trash-picked one of these: https://h10057.www1.hp.com/ecomcat/hpcatalog/specs/provisioner/05/KR370PS.htm - basically a thin client, but it has a fairly decent Sempron 2100+ cpu. - It had 512 Mb RAM originally, but I replaced it with a 2 Gb RAM stick (it takes PC5300 laptop memory) I had. Its "harddrive" is a 1 Gb flash. Was gonna load it with Ubuntu, maybe make a little headless server out of it with a 500 Gb USB drive I have laying around | 22:55 |
| Maarten | doing nothing.... U guys reckon the 1 Gb flash is going to be enough to install an OS on? | 22:55 |

| Hobart | I'm going to theorize that this "unable to cd to /home/user" problem is coming from the Ubuntu installer not properly doing the OS install if you install onto an already-formatted ext4 volume, and they overlooked setting something that the ... | 22:59 |
