| shcherbak | needlez: via crontab, use @boot for root crontab (this you modify via sudo) | 00:09 |

| edbian | Hodr, Because you are doing NAT all the DNS tells WAN connections is the public IP of the router. Maybe you can configure it to tell things on the LAN where each other are. That would be more useful. | 01:06 |
| will | TravelingMonkey: Try opening your document in Firefox and then using it's print selection for adjustments. Just a suggestion.No clue if it will work for you or not. | 01:06 |
| fadax | Yoinx Nevermind I've found what I was doing wrong! | 01:06 |
| TravelingMonkey | well, its a pdf | 01:06 |
| TravelingMonkey | and im opening it with evince | 01:06 |
| TravelingMonkey | but the "resize to fill printable area" option doesnt seem to exist | 01:07 |
| Hodr | edbian ok, I will try it, I have a commercial service coming in a week with 5 static's, but was hoping for a quick fix in the mean time | 01:07 |
| Hodr | edbian using a proxy site works, but they load up the pages with ads and crap :-( | 01:08 |
| edbian | Hodr, Quick fix: tell the DNS that everything is at your router's public IP. Tell the router to port forward to the various servers | 01:08 |
| TravelingMonkey | firefox uses evince to display pdfs | 01:09 |
| TravelingMonkey | so, that is not an option | 01:09 |
| will | TravelingMonkey: I would not know where to start. I have not used that program for PDF based viewing. I normally use Adobe-Acrobat. | 01:09 |
| TravelingMonkey | to try to work around this, i installed okular | 01:09 |
| TravelingMonkey | it appears the KDE dialogs dont have such an option either | 01:10 |
| will | Hmm. | 01:10 |
| will | KDE was usually good at doing that. | 01:10 |
| TravelingMonkey | yeah | 01:10 |
| TravelingMonkey | i think this particular thing is missing | 01:10 |
| TravelingMonkey | i never thought about it before | 01:10 |

| TravelingMonkey | do you have something such as "resize document to printable area"? | 01:12 |
| TravelingMonkey | or "expand to fill printable area"? | 01:13 |

| will | TravelingMonkey: Page Scaling - Fit page to printable area. | 01:14 |
| TravelingMonkey | okay | 01:14 |
| TravelingMonkey | i think i see it now | 01:14 |
| TravelingMonkey | man, i searched for that thing like 10 times | 01:15 |
| TravelingMonkey | it just proves you can never find something when youre looking for it | 01:15 |
| TravelingMonkey | or at least that i cant | 01:15 |
| TravelingMonkey | ;) | 01:15 |

| hiexpo | root__, why are you pming me | 01:16 |
| TravelingMonkey | yeah | 01:16 |
| TravelingMonkey | thats been happening to me, too | 01:16 |
| will | Hmm. | 01:16 |
| TravelingMonkey | but only with the second login | 01:16 |
| will | It hasn't happened before. | 01:16 |
| will | Mine just randomly goes *POOF*. | 01:16 |
| TravelingMonkey | like, i have another account for a relative, and its fine | 01:16 |
| TravelingMonkey | but mine disappears when i log in as the second user | 01:16 |
| will | It happened after i adjusted my ALSA-Pulse-Audio setup. | 01:16 |
| TravelingMonkey | thats strange | 01:17 |
| TravelingMonkey | but i havent adjusted that | 01:17 |
| shad0w_guy | hey anybody here with any FreeBSD expirience?? cause they kick me out of #freebsdhelp for no reason u.u | 01:17 |
| TravelingMonkey | but i also found that if you kill the X server, it comes back | 01:17 |
| TravelingMonkey | at least sometimes | 01:17 |
| TravelingMonkey | i didnt bother this time cause i was already into a bunch of stuff when i noticed | 01:18 |
| will | So far i only have two issues. | 01:18 |
| will | My shutdown/logout icon. | 01:18 |
| will | And no audio in KQ. | 01:18 |
| TravelingMonkey | are you using lucid? | 01:18 |
| will | 10.04 | 01:18 |
| TravelingMonkey | yeah | 01:19 |
| will | I prefer 8.10..... | 01:19 |
| TravelingMonkey | me, too | 01:19 |
| TravelingMonkey | me, too, again | 01:19 |
| will | Can't get a higher up Distro. | 01:19 |
| TravelingMonkey | 8.10 was about the peak | 01:19 |
| will | And can't run 8.10 anymore. | 01:19 |
| will | Damm EoL junk. | 01:19 |
| will | No support for it at all anymore. | 01:19 |
| Evildaemon | So, I read the man page for nice (In shell) and it would appear that the shell doesn't know which version of nice to use. If anyone knows, I would gladly appreciate the knowledge of how to change nice value from the command line. | 01:20 |
| TravelingMonkey | well, there is a lot of hardware that was subsequently supported, too | 01:20 |
| TravelingMonkey | none of those 3G cards worked with 8.10 | 01:20 |
| TravelingMonkey | but many of them work flawlessly with 10.04 | 01:21 |
| TravelingMonkey | well, maybe flawlessly is the wrong word | 01:21 |
| TravelingMonkey | since they can lock the system | 01:21 |
| will | You had to manually install them in 8.10 | 01:21 |
| TravelingMonkey | but they work out of the box | 01:21 |
| TravelingMonkey | i know | 01:21 |
| TravelingMonkey | but now, they just work | 01:21 |
| DystaN | Ubuntu 10.10 Compiz Fusion Dual MOnitors , can you change multiple desktop cubes independently ??? | 01:21 |

| TravelingMonkey | thats another question | 01:21 |
| TravelingMonkey | compiz is forcing a mouse pointer on me | 01:22 |
| will | O.o | 01:22 |
| will | Don't let it poke you. | 01:22 |
| Evildaemon | Lolwut? | 01:22 |
| TravelingMonkey | when i turn it off, it switches to the pointer i chose in appearance | 01:22 |
| === mike is now known as Guest24013 | ||
| TravelingMonkey | but when i turn it back on, it goes back to the one it likes | 01:22 |
| TravelingMonkey | and no change will affect it | 01:22 |
| will | Hmm. | 01:22 |
| TravelingMonkey | is there some way to set the mouse pointer in compiz? | 01:22 |
| will | I wouldnot be able to help you in teh slightest on that one. | 01:23 |
| TravelingMonkey | its been bugging me | 01:23 |
| will | If you are using CCSM then maybe you can change it. But other than that. I wouldn't have teh slightest clue. I have never changed my cursor. | 01:23 |
| TravelingMonkey | but its an annoyance, so i usually forget about it | 01:23 |
| TravelingMonkey | but someone was just talking about compiz | 01:23 |
| === lance_ is now known as Guest56998 | ||
| TravelingMonkey | well, if the comixcursors are installed, it just defaults to the black one | 01:24 |
| TravelingMonkey | and doesnt allow any changes | 01:24 |
| TravelingMonkey | maybe the start button problem has to do with compiz, too | 01:24 |
| TravelingMonkey | hmmm | 01:24 |
| TravelingMonkey | hold on | 01:24 |
| will | Oh, he was asking about Compiz and the multiple monitor setup. | 01:25 |
| TravelingMonkey | i know | 01:25 |
| o2oo | hi | 01:25 |
| TravelingMonkey | i read the post | 01:25 |
| will | I am guessing he wants 4 desktops on each monitor. | 01:25 |
| will | And to be able to control them seperately. | 01:25 |
| TravelingMonkey | well, that had no effect | 01:25 |
| o2oo | who knows how to get the length of the "int" type in ubuntu ? | 01:25 |
| TravelingMonkey | wait a sec | 01:25 |
| o2oo | hello, who knows how to get the length of the "int" type in ubuntu ? | 01:26 |
| TravelingMonkey | the power button and the IM client applet are still missing | 01:26 |
| TravelingMonkey | but the panel is still making/keeping space for them | 01:26 |
| jrib | o2oo: in what context? C? | 01:27 |
| TravelingMonkey | restarting compiz fixed my pointer problem -- this time | 01:27 |
| TravelingMonkey | interesting | 01:27 |
| TravelingMonkey | that didnt work the other day | 01:27 |
| illmortal | Anyone know how to change the cursor? Specifically when it's dragged onto a link? I don't like the little, "hand" icon lol | 01:28 |
| o2oo | jrib, in shell | 01:28 |
| TravelingMonkey | there are themes | 01:28 |
| DystaN | Ubuntu 10.10 Compiz Fusion Dual MOnitors , can you change multiple desktop cubes independently ??? | 01:28 |
| TravelingMonkey | you might even be able to edit a pointer theme and put some other image in there | 01:28 |
| o2oo | for example, "uname -m" can get the ubuntu is 32bit or 64bit | 01:28 |
| illmortal | hmmm | 01:29 |

| Phong_ | after it reboot, i got this error: Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr | 01:30 |
| o2oo | ok | 01:31 |
| Phong_ | what seem to be the problem here? | 01:31 |
| Phong_ | all i did was mount the .iso and install within windows | 01:31 |
| will | Cool. Got my shutdown/logout icon fixed. | 01:31 |
| Phong_ | it asks me to reboot, which i did and got this eror: Try hd(0,0): NTFS5: No wubildr | 01:31 |
| Phong_ | any h elp would be appreciated. | 01:31 |
| will | You tried to install 10.10 or 11.04? | 01:32 |
| mjn | general props to the open-source community!! | 01:32 |
| Phong_ | 10.10 | 01:32 |
| Phong_ | x32 bit | 01:32 |
| mjn | y'all are great...! | 01:32 |
| will | That is why. | 01:32 |
| will | Stick with 10.04 for now. | 01:32 |
| will | Or even do a distro upgrade THROUGH 10.04. | 01:32 |
| mjn | go on a windows forum, and a lot of folks are a little uppity... | 01:32 |
| will | Don't manually install it with the ISO. | 01:32 |
| Phong_ | oh, so u'll telling me to install 10.04 ? | 01:32 |
| Phong_ | and then do upgrade? | 01:32 |
| will | The main Squash filessystem is a little screwy in 10.10 and 11.04 at teh moment. | 01:33 |
| mjn | but y'all take it in stride, even when my ??'s are incredibly stupid...thanks again! | 01:33 |
| will | You more than likely will never get them installed. D= | 01:33 |
| Yoinx | yeah, you could always just get virtualbox and install ubuntu in there if you wanted to try it out from windows | 01:33 |
| mjn | as they often/always are (see above, re: incredibly stupid).. | 01:33 |
| Yoinx | I'm assuming you are since you're trying to use wubi | 01:34 |
| Yoinx | mjn, there's no such thing as a stupid question... Since you were smart enough to ask. | 01:34 |
| Phong_ | ok,ill download 10.04 | 01:35 |
| mjn | see, that's what i'm talkin about...thanks again... | 01:35 |
| Phong_ | i'll do it and did it, and done it. ;) | 01:35 |
| Phong_ | brb | 01:35 |
| will | I appoligize i didn't catch your question "mjn". I was probably paying attention to my son when you typed it in. | 01:35 |
| larious | Phong_: why dont you download 10.10 | 01:36 |
| gnome | Hi | 01:37 |
| larious | gnome : How are yu doing | 01:37 |
| gnome | I want to have tcpdump's output to be a little cleaner. | 01:37 |
| will | larious: I recommended him to install 10.04 and do a Distro upgrade from within due to the Squashfs and Wubi being corrupted in the new ISO's. | 01:37 |
| mjn | will, wasn't a question....i just noticed a lot of good behavior in the open source community...have benefited from the helpful attitudes of it's denizens, and want to encourage said behavior with a general shoutout/express my gratitude that there are places like this to go for help.. | 01:38 |
| gnome | I want to parse it... | 01:38 |
| will | mjn: Oh, it sounded like you asked a question and never got a reply, haha. | 01:38 |
| bashzsh | I'm curious about this command (NOT TO BE RUN): sudo apt-get --purge remove [icecat] If run with bash, it tries to delete about 6gb of packages on my machine. Why does it find so many? If run on zsh, it is "no matches found [icecat]". I'm guessing bash recognizes that as a regular expression? | 01:38 |
| gnome | More importantly, I need to upload via php | 01:38 |
| gnome | *ftp | 01:38 |
| gnome | I would probally upload the log, and use explode to manipulate the output. | 01:39 |
| larious | will: I have 10.04 and am having a problem that is why I am thiking of better upgrading to 10.10, no one yet solve my problem | 01:39 |
| gnome | How would I use ftp to upload a log? Also, can i rotate the log for tcpdump? | 01:39 |
| will | larious:I would recommend a Distro upgrade from within your Update Manager rather than installing from the ISO. | 01:41 |

| larious | Will: maybe you can solve my problem too | 01:42 |
| will | But then again. Formatting into EXT3 may let you install it from boot-up like normal. I know installation from Wubi inside Windows on Distros 10.10-11.04 comes out in two ways. | 01:42 |
| Phong_ | ok i need to reboot | 01:42 |
| Phong_ | be back | 01:42 |

| p_res | mndrll: I always had issues with Transmission and used Deluge instead. | 02:31 |
| aarcane_ | mndrll, if you want a web interface for your torrents, there is NOTHING better than transmission. if not, azureus is a bit more full featured, but java based. | 02:32 |
| lighta | I like transmission | 02:32 |
| p_res | Deluge can be used for server or web-ui or gtk whatever you want to use it for. ;-) | 02:32 |

| n2i | *Should I | 03:02 |
| p_res | Dunno. I'm not even familiar with swat. | 03:02 |

| pyrofallout | Wondering if someone can help me out. I recently setup 10.10x64 on my server. i created another user and am ssh'ing in through that user instead of root, but the terminal prompt is quite different (just $ instead of user@host$ and can't use arrows). Any suggestions? | 03:14 |
| hero | oh i think maybe you can change the shell pyrofallout? | 03:15 |
| hero | i think its in /etc/passwd | 03:15 |
| hero | you should check that user and check the shell | 03:16 |
| dr_Willis | you set your prompt via the PS1 variable. thers doezns of examples out there/ it maybe its not using bash, or its not running the .bash* init scripts | 03:16 |
| ljsoftnet | how do i hide text messages during boot and shutdown? | 03:16 |
| hero | $ usually is /bin/sh | 03:16 |
| hero | and change it to /bin/bash | 03:16 |
| hero | is that correct dr_Willis? | 03:17 |
| dr_Willis | best to use the chsh command to change you shell :) | 03:17 |
| dr_Willis | or as a test just run 'bash' | 03:17 |
| hero | yeah you right :d | 03:17 |
| bastidrazor | ljsoftnet: which version of ubuntu are you on? | 03:17 |
| pyrofallout | thanks hero, yes it is /bin/sh | 03:17 |
| pyrofallout | i think it has something to do with $PS1 | 03:18 |
| leaveboy | pyrofallout: arrows? | 03:18 |
| ljsoftnet | bastidrazor ubuntu 10.04 | 03:18 |
| pyrofallout | if i press arrow up, to like repeat last command, it instead inputs ^{{A | 03:19 |
| pyrofallout | ^[[A** | 03:19 |
| hero | i think you can create user with default bash shell by using -s option in useradd command | 03:19 |
| bastidrazor | ljsoftnet: /etc/default/grub add :: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" then sudo update-grub | 03:19 |
| leaveboy | pyrofallout: PS1="\u@\h \W:\$" will be ok | 03:20 |
| === raul is now known as bigbang | ||
| pyrofallout | I tried that and it literally sets the promp t to \u@\h \W$ | 03:21 |
| ljsoftnet | bastidrazor its already on grub | 03:21 |
| hero | maybe better to leave it as default... | 03:22 |
| pyrofallout | hmm. i noticed root is using /bin/bash, is there any reason i cant run bash over sh | 03:22 |
| Mishrax | Hello | 03:23 |
| pyrofallout | switched my user to bash and things are good now. I guess my question then is there any concerns with using bash over sh | 03:23 |
| pyrofallout | as I am used to and prefer bash | 03:23 |
| bastidrazor | ljsoftnet: then you should be seeing no text but splash screens | 03:24 |

| cptmorgan | running 8.04 and i need to replicate an installed system. I've always done this with rsync. Everything boots up correctly on a fresh drive with identical partition table and filesystems but when booting the first time it complains about /var/run and /var/lock (varrun,varlock) and cannot start networking because of this. A reboot fixes this problem. Is there a reason this happens or a way to restore these filesystems so this doesn't happen | 03:26 |

| nestea | hm | 03:29 |
| carl1408 | what is the timezone package? | 03:29 |
| nestea | after i grabbed the updates from the debian repos earlier, so far no trouble downloading from apt now lol | 03:30 |
| rolo | thanks for the tip on dvd software | 03:30 |
| carl1408 | or... not that.. but the one that sets daylight savings time...? | 03:30 |
| Mishrax | Nd what if i hv to remove ubuntu | 03:30 |
| dr_Willis | nestea DEBIAN repos? You mixxed debian and ubuntu? thatds not a good idea. | 03:30 |
| p_res | Mishrax: ... follow the prompts of the installer. | 03:30 |
| bastidrazor | nestea: no wonder you're having issues. you're not being truthful in what you're doing. | 03:30 |
| nestea | no | 03:30 |
| nestea | im not mixing until now i believe | 03:31 |
| Mishrax | All os are in different drives | 03:31 |
| nestea | debian is the easiest one to browse for me | 03:31 |
| p_res | Mishrax: Are you looking to wipe your current Ubuntu install? | 03:31 |
| nestea | and i just grabbed 2 files | 03:31 |
| nestea | fontconfig and fontconfig1 | 03:31 |
| nestea | lol | 03:31 |
| nestea | worked like a charm after that with dpkg -i | 03:31 |
| knoppies | Does anybody know how to get VLC to open new videos as fullscreen (on my second monitor) by default. | 03:31 |
| dr_Willis | good luck and hopeit dont break in the figure. | 03:31 |
| Mishrax | Ya to empty the drive | 03:31 |
| p_res | Mishrax: So as I've said. Run the installer and follow the prompts and install the Live CD to the empty hard drive you wish to install to. | 03:32 |
| dr_Willis | knoppies - compiz has some settings that can tweak that. or chck the advanced controll/settings in vlc. VLC rembers what screen it opened on last here. so it stays on my 2nd monitor. | 03:32 |
| nestea | after those two files | 03:33 |
| gundas | Is there a way to find and replace *only* LF characters in a CSV files, I have occurances of LF CR which I wan't to keep, I only want to replace LF when it is by itself? | 03:33 |
| nestea | apt-get is downloading from | 03:33 |
| knoppies | thanks dr_Willis, I will look into that. | 03:33 |
| nestea | a ubuntu repos | 03:33 |
| nestea | it went down quick lol couldnt see the whole thing | 03:33 |
| Mishrax | No... Now tell if i want to use only xp nd 7... | 03:33 |
| Mishrax | Hw to remove ubuntu and grub | 03:33 |
| knoppies | If I want to view Microsoft Power Point files (.pptx) on ubuntu, how do you suggest I do it (I remember seeing some pptviewer in synaptic but I can't find it now, is open office my only/best option?) | 03:34 |
| p_res | Mishrax: If you install the new Ubuntu, new installer will install the new grub config for you so you can still boot XP and W7. | 03:34 |
| zeleftikam | quick question: if I install 10.04 desktop, can i update to 10.10 via the internet updates built into Ubuntu? i don't have a 10.10 disc handy but i do have 10.04. can i install that and get up to date through the updater after installing? | 03:35 |
| Fluttershy | yes | 03:35 |
| joshmclvl1 | zeleftikam: you can. | 03:36 |
| zeleftikam | thanks!! | 03:36 |
| knoppies | zeleftikam, yes, but I dont recommend it (I had a bad experience years ago). If you are going to do it that way, then I recommend you update everything you can in 10.04 before you try update to 10.10 | 03:36 |
| joshmclvl1 | zeleftikam: it tends to be messy, however, so be careful! | 03:36 |
| zeleftikam | ahh | 03:36 |
| Mishrax | I m getting but what should i choose on installation time.. | 03:36 |
| Mishrax | Where to install boot loader... And in which drive to install ubuntu | 03:36 |
| p_res | Install Ubuntu to whichever drive you want to. Boot loader will sort itself out, don't worry about that. | 03:37 |
| Mishrax | Its showing all other drives as /sd*/c: smthing | 03:37 |
| nestea | brb | 03:38 |
| ljsoftnet | how do i hide text messages during boot and shutdown? | 03:38 |
| joshmclvl1 | ljsoftnet: why would you want to? ;) I think using plymouth /should/ hide verbosity. | 03:38 |
| p_res | Mishrax: That's normal. | 03:39 |
| ljsoftnet | joshmclvl1 its not hiding everything | 03:39 |
| p_res | Mishrax: That's what drives are known as in the world of Unix/Linux. | 03:39 |
| joshmclvl1 | ljsoftnet: *grumble grumble*, that's not good. | 03:40 |
| Mishrax | Hmm so i vl install it as u say.. I vl ask u while installing | 03:40 |

| illmortal | hmm.. ok | 03:43 |
| joshmclvl1 | illmortal: maybe I'm an idealist but I'd think exchange would be built into the big names | 03:43 |

| toby_ | hey guys i am trying to install a program called handbrake having problems getting to it i downloaded the ppa using sudo aptget but i have no idea from there | 03:50 |
| Stryker | toby_, handbrake is an outdated piece of crap | 03:51 |
| bastidrazor | toby_: can you give a link to the ppa page? | 03:52 |
| trism | cfedde: click nm-applet, choose edit connections and create a new connection on the wifi tab | 03:52 |
| toby_ | Stryker: you have a better program for video compression / conversion? | 03:52 |
| toby_ | bastidrazor: https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases | 03:52 |
| Stryker | avidemux, toby_ | 03:53 |
| Stryker | it sucks for bulk though | 03:53 |
| bastidrazor | toby_: after adding the ppa.. sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install handbrake | 03:53 |
| loquitus | What is the best way to get started with NoSQL on Ubuntu? | 03:53 |
| toby_ | ah i didnt hit that last command | 03:53 |
| toby_ | bastidrazor, no dice says Package handbrake is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 03:55 |
| toby_ | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source | 03:55 |
| comcomist | how to convert color pdf file to black and white ? | 03:55 |
| cfedde | trism: this is a server/text mode system is there syntax that does that in say /etc/network/interfaces? | 03:55 |
| bastidrazor | toby_: apt-cache policy handbrake :what is the output of this? | 03:56 |
| toby_ | says installed: none | 03:56 |
| toby_ | candidate none | 03:56 |
| toby_ | version table: | 03:56 |
| trism | cfedde: for /etc/network/interfaces create a wpa.conf file with wpa_passphrase ssid; and save it in /etc/wpa.conf, then add the: wpa-conf /etc/wpa.conf line to your /etc/network/interfaces | 03:56 |

| Swerve__ | please | 03:57 |

| toby_ | Swerve__, admitting u need help is the first step | 03:57 |
| Swerve__ | lol | 03:57 |
| Swerve__ | i do bro | 03:57 |
| Swerve__ | u gonna help me toby? | 03:58 |
| toby_ | Swerve__, prolly not i am here for help too | 03:58 |
| comcomist | how to convert color pdf file to black and white ? | 03:58 |
| bastidrazor | toby_: it would appear the ppa is borked. once you 'sudo apt-get update' it should tell apt-get that handbrake is available from the ppa | 03:58 |
| cfedde | trism: awesome! thanks. BTW are there doc pointers somewhere for this? | 03:59 |
| rww | cfedde: or add wpa-ssid and wpa-psk to /etc/network/interfaces directly. e.g. http://paste.ubuntu.com/580419/ | 03:59 |
| Swerve__ | let me explain..I have ubuntu 9.10 installed..I stopped using windows..I need these updates from DELL so my dvd burner will work..how do i install these updates using ubuntu? | 03:59 |

| Swerve__ | http://search.dell.com/results.aspx?s=gen&c=us&l=en&cs=&k=TEAC+DV-W58E&cat=all&x=9&y=10 | 03:59 |
| rww | cfedde: Not that I found. The wpa_supplicant integration with Debian/Ubuntu's command-line networking stuff doesn't have much documentation | 03:59 |
| rww | cfedde: correct | 03:59 |
| toby_ | bastidrazor, i ran update again then install still same error | 03:59 |

| dusf | i am trying to install xml copy editor but ubuntu software centre is telling me libxerces-c3.0, even though i have cs3.1 installed. how can i fix this please? | 04:01 |
| trism | cfedde: any wpa- lines in /etc/network/interfaces are passed as environment variables to wpa_supplicant, but I haven't found docs for them, although you can find them in the /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh, if you wanted to set verbosity or debug-level to troubleshoot problems | 04:02 |
| bastidrazor | toby_: you can grab the .debs from https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases/+packages .. not sure why the ppa isn't working correctly | 04:02 |
| cfedde | rww, trism If we ever meet in real life I'll buy you a beer or other similar libation of your choice. | 04:02 |

| toby_ | bastidrazor, sweet it worked thanks alot | 04:06 |
| bastidrazor | toby_: yes, get both handbrake-gtk and handbrake-cli-...i386.deb's | 04:07 |
| niteshade | so, apt-get install source xchat? | 04:07 |
| rww | niteshade: and if that doesn't work, make sure you have deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list corresponding to the deb lines. | 04:07 |
| rww | niteshade: yes | 04:07 |
| rww | niteshade: wait no. apt-get source xchat. | 04:07 |
| MrBubbles | does unetbootin support ubuntu studio 10.10? | 04:07 |
| panfist | i have a verified 10.10 64-bit install cd, verified when burned and 'checked for defects' off the cd. i can't get to install or try ubuntu. it drops me to (initramfs) prompt with the message, "mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error" | 04:07 |
| niteshade | oh | 04:07 |
| edbian | niteshade, apt-get source xchat (and it will put the source in the current working directory) | 04:07 |
| niteshade | where does it go to look at? | 04:07 |
| niteshade | oh | 04:08 |
| panfist | holy crap the cd drive is spinning out of control | 04:08 |
| niteshade | thanks. I figured that figuring out everything about my computer would help me to be better educated about computers and linux in general. | 04:08 |
| panfist | oooooookkkkkk time to throw out this dvd-rom | 04:09 |
| niteshade | what about kernel source? | 04:09 |
| edbian | niteshade, Sure, but don't try to read the source code if you don't know how to program :) | 04:09 |
| niteshade | well, if you don't change anything | 04:09 |
| niteshade | but, i know a functional amount of C and python. | 04:10 |
| edbian | niteshade, You can download the source and edit it all you want. It won't make a difference because you have to compile that source to run the code. | 04:10 |
| MrBubbles | i just tried using unetbootin but it does not support ubuntu studio 10.10, is there a way to upgrade though terminal? | 04:10 |
| MrBubbles | *through | 04:11 |
| === mohammad is now known as Guest89415 | ||
| edbian | niteshade, The linux kernel is just another package. I don't know which one off the top of my head. | 04:11 |
| nit-wit | MrBubbles, did you try just loading the 10.10 iso | 04:11 |
| Stryker | MrBubbles, apt-get install update | 04:11 |
| niteshade | yeah. So, for example if i see a security hole in a program like xchat that could lead to a root exploit (just pulling the scenario outta my ass) and if i can fix it, then how do i compile that fix so that my computer becomes safer? | 04:12 |
| niteshade | does it come with a makefile, or just the source? | 04:12 |
| niteshade | or, what gcc arguments | 04:12 |
| === will_ is now known as rreal | ||
| edbian | niteshade, It should come with a make file. | 04:13 |
| niteshade | cool | 04:13 |
| niteshade | see ya. | 04:13 |
| niteshade | thanks | 04:14 |
| overclucker | niteshade: you can get the source of a package with apt-get source, | 04:14 |
| trism | niteshade: you can also rebuild an updated package: http://www.moosechips.com/2008/09/ubuntu-rebuild-a-source-package/ | 04:14 |
| edbian | niteshade, Then you compile that new version of the code and use it instead of your current version. It's probably a better idea to notify the developers about the bug fix though | 04:14 |
| niteshade | yeah. Wait, what if i had a booby trap for hackers hard-coded into the program? | 04:15 |
| niteshade | heh heh | 04:15 |
| Stryker | you would invent an antihack | 04:15 |
| edbian | niteshade, What if you added it? Then the developers wouldn't accept your bug fix. (Nobody would accept your new version without looking at the code) | 04:15 |
| needlez | hi, how can I set a qouta for a file?? like a limit on how many megabytes the file can be, and after that amount it will overwrite the first line?? any ideas? | 04:15 |
| overclucker | niteshade: opensource . . . | 04:15 |
| needlez | !quota | 04:16 |
| niteshade | i've always told people that the joy of open source is that if you don't like something about your OS, you can change it if you know how | 04:16 |
| niteshade | now, i can learn how | 04:17 |
| panfist | one person's joy is another person's misery | 04:17 |
| bawnio | panfist one person's dog is another's dead baby | 04:17 |
| overclucker | one persons misery is another persons joy | 04:18 |
| niteshade | depends on whether you're doing because you want to, or you have to. | 04:18 |

| rww | ... Perhaps we should get back to Ubuntu technical support o.O | 04:19 |
| bawnio | good point | 04:19 |
| randomuser | has anyone done a successful kickstart install? | 04:19 |
| bawnio | what is kickstart? | 04:20 |
| zeleftikam | okay, i installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. How do i get it to net-update to 10.10 now? | 04:20 |
| niteshade | bawnio: i think i read about this, some math dude in a magazine i read said that the longer a blog got, the probability of a hitler reference approaches 1 | 04:20 |
| Stryker | i have read the same exact article | 04:20 |
| niteshade | really? | 04:20 |
| Stryker | yup | 04:20 |
| niteshade | cool. | 04:21 |
| bawnio | i did too | 04:21 |
| zeleftikam | i did all the updates in Update Manager, restarted, and checked for updates again and there aren't any. is there something i have to do to get it to check for 10.10? | 04:21 |
| pylix | needlez: do you have any programming background? | 04:21 |
| bawnio | i read an article that said something about justin bieber references, but this is a bit off topic | 04:21 |
| edbian | zeleftikam, Go to System -> Admin -> Software sources. Change the drop down from LTS releases to normal releases and try again in the update manager | 04:21 |
| zeleftikam | edbian, will do. thanks | 04:22 |
| randomuser | bawnio, kickstart is a script for setting up an unattended install and also your mom is off topic | 04:22 |
| needlez | pylix: not much, just want to set a folder or file to have a limit for it. can I do it with just a simple command like setquota?? | 04:22 |
| rww | zeleftikam: What edbian said. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades has all the details. | 04:22 |
| zeleftikam | thanks guys! :) | 04:22 |
| edbian | zeleftikam, Did it work? | 04:22 |
| zeleftikam | edbian, yes sir. i got the upgrade dialogue going now :) | 04:22 |
| bawnio | randomuser i have never heard the unattended installs being called kickstart | 04:23 |
| zeleftikam | didn't realise 10.10 is not an LTS | 04:23 |
| edbian | zeleftikam, Awesome, be warned it takes a long time. Like several hours | 04:23 |
| edbian | zeleftikam, LTS is once every 3 years | 04:23 |
| pylix | are you using thunar? | 04:23 |
| edbian | or something... | 04:23 |
| bzb | hey i am on ubunt | 04:23 |
| zeleftikam | hmm. i am installing on a 2.5ghz quad core with a 20 megabit connection... shouldn't take that long! | 04:23 |
| randomuser | bawnio, no worries, it just means that you probably can't answer my questions about it | 04:23 |
| bzb | hey i got a question | 04:23 |
| edbian | zeleftikam, Lucky | 04:24 |
| bzb | can i speak with a certified ubanto expert | 04:24 |

| LittleRed | Polah: I'll see what I can find with those descriptions. It's the only thing not working...gggrrrrr | 04:37 |
| Polah | LittleRed: I assume you mean across the top of the laptop itself? Perhaps try "Sony <model> audio control buttons drivers" or something? Perhaps it's only available from Sony itself, preinstalled on the laptop | 04:37 |
| ruan | lol. | 04:37 |

| draven_sol | niteshade, iwconfig might help you out, but i haven't checked it | 04:40 |
| niteshade | yeah, you see nm-applet won't show up anywhere on my panel. It runs in the background and pops up when it automatically connects me to my home wifi. | 04:41 |
| niteshade | prob is that without having it on my panel, i can't connect to anything besides my home wifi | 04:41 |
| shcherbak | draven_sol: convert it (date) to minutes (h*60+m) add 30 and divide by 60, you can use bc. | 04:42 |

| asfjio | hello, guys! is it possible to delete all my files permanently (not only mark them as deleted) when i want to return a computer which i used, but which is not mine? the OS is Ubuntu 10.10. | 06:35 |
| Mithran | dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sda | 06:36 |
| Mithran | from live cd | 06:36 |
| webPragmatist | neil_d: no way | 06:36 |
| Glutsch | lo | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Mithran: that will need sudo | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | Mithran: Why did you post that command? | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | ActionParsnip: It won't work for other reasons as well. | 06:37 |

| tripelb | hi ActionParsnip | 06:50 |
| c4cookies | ipv4 to shared to other computers | 06:50 |
| tanath | Froodle, you can give linux it's own swap partition and then you wouldn't see that, but anyone with physical access to your computer can do what they want anyway | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Hi tripelb | 06:50 |
| tanath | ActionParsnip, mm.. thx | 06:50 |

| tanath | Froodle, turning of swap in windows is a bad idea.. | 06:51 |
| c4cookies | what i need to do next on windows side? | 06:51 |
| c4cookies | anyone know | 06:51 |

| joshmclvl1 | Mithran: cat /dev/null is nothingness. cat /dev/zero is complete zeros. you have to interupt the cat zero eventually with ctrl-z. | 06:54 |
| c4cookies | doesn;t help at all | 06:54 |
| tanath | joshmclvl1, Mithran ctrl+z sends to background, not interrupts. ctrl+c does that | 06:55 |

| Firefishe | I'm using 10.04 -- I'm having an issue with certain programs with embedded links. They seem to like to open konqueror for the web browser, and this causes konqueror to mutate into a runaway process, spawning endless windows. What might be my problem? | 06:57 |
| hipitihop | a networking question: If I have wireless router bridged ---> main router with dhcp/linux all on same subnet 192.168.0.x and I want to allow one wireless laptop onboard but restrict it to only see internet not rest of network, how can I do that | 06:57 |
| neil_d | ActionParsnip: well it did with only a 'continue' button in it... but when I clicked on that it said there was a 'OpenId' failure of some kind. | 06:57 |
| Jordan_U | Mithran: /dev/null is nothing, basically an empty file when reading from it (and a black hole when writing to it). /dev/zero outputs all zeroes. | 06:57 |
| Mithran | is /dev/zero a black hole when writing to? and how do I stop it? | 06:58 |
| tanath | Firefishe, not sure why konq is having a fit, but you can change your default browser.. | 06:58 |
| Jordan_U | Mithran: ctrl+C | 06:58 |
| neil_d | Mithran: you input runs out... | 06:59 |
| Ben64 | Mithran: /dev/null is a black hole | 06:59 |
| Mithran | for instance i want to see the contents of the file after doing a /dev/zero, but it just hangs | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | Mithran: And you'll probably want to delete the file that you just created as it's probably multiple GiB large by now. | 06:59 |
| Firefishe | tanath: firefox is my default browser...konqueror shouldn't even open. | 06:59 |
| Mithran | it is i just checked | 06:59 |
| Ben64 | Mithran: what are you trying to do? | 06:59 |
| Mithran | can i see the contents | 06:59 |
| tanath | Mithran, /dev/null sends nothing. /dev/zero sends zeros... and will continue until you ctrl+c it or whatever | 06:59 |
| Firefishe | tanath: The sofware with which I'm having a problem is pokerth 0.8.x. I'm wondering if those links are hard-coded to open konqueror. | 07:00 |
| Jordan_U | Mithran: Think of /dev/zero as an infinitely large file containing all zero bits. | 07:00 |
| tanath | Firefishe, there are multiple places default browser can be set.. (ie., multiple defaults) but if it's embedded stuff, check firefoxs application settings for file types & such | 07:00 |
| neil_d | Mithran: /dev/zero is an endless source of zeros ... so "cat /dev/zero > a" followed by a hexdump of "hd a" should show things | 07:00 |
| tanath | Firefishe, pokerth has it's own settings for browser | 07:00 |
| Firefishe | tanath: This issue with konqueror has been going on for some time now. I haven't checked the bug list in a while, though. | 07:01 |
| tanath | Firefishe, when you said 'embedded' i thought you mean embedded in a web page. that's not the same | 07:01 |

| victorhugo289 | It's not like Windows Task manager! | 07:11 |

| victorhugo289 | 'Top'? ok. | 07:11 |
| Firefishe | victorhugo289: A good way is to click on the column headings on CPU and Memory, to see what's using the most at a given moment. You may need to watch it a bit. | 07:11 |
| jbicha | because Meta is being used by Unity so irssi can't use it | 07:11 |

| Ryan__ | syrinx_ Well I'm running win7 and I don't want to lose it so i wanted to dual boot | 07:12 |
| tanath | victorhugo289, linux is case-sensitive... | 07:13 |
| Ryan__ | syrinx_ but when I get to the partition manager part and hit 'choose manually', my drive shows up as all free space | 07:13 |
| syrinx_ | Ryan__: are all the partitions formatted to NTFS? | 07:13 |
| needlez | ok anyone know how to set the size limit of a txt file?? | 07:13 |
| RameEz | just installed ubuntu 10.10 on another pc | 07:14 |
| Ryan__ | syrinx_ i think so. how can i make sure? | 07:14 |
| syrinx_ | Ryan__: do they all show up in windows? | 07:14 |
| Ryan__ | syrinx_ yeah. i have two partitions: one is the system one, the other is a data one. Then I have some unallocated space. (the 2 partitions are both NTFS.) | 07:14 |
| RameEz | im living it and i gonna try desktop effects | 07:15 |
| iiicyg | Ryan__, format second to fat. | 07:15 |
| syrinx_ | there you go | 07:15 |
| Jordan_U | RameEz: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? | 07:15 |
| Ryan__ | iiicyg and then try again? | 07:15 |

| Ryan__ | iiicyg a new partition from the unallocated space? | 07:17 |
| syrinx_ | Jordan_U: that's exremely unnecessary | 07:17 |
| syrinx_ | Ryan__: yes | 07:17 |
| iiicyg | Ryan__, yes. | 07:17 |
| Jordan_U | syrinx_: Why do you say that? | 07:17 |
| iiicyg | Jordan_U, because. | 07:18 |
| Ryan__ | syrinx_, iiicyg : and leave it unformatted? i'm not sure if i can do that in win7, but i'll try | 07:18 |
| syrinx_ | Ryan__: yes, it will be a RAW partition | 07:18 |
| gua | anyone know about a thing like "su" where you can give it a uid instead of a username? | 07:18 |
| Ryan__ | syrinx_, iiicyg : actually i can. "Do not format this volume" is an option | 07:18 |
| syrinx_ | if not Ryan__ format to FAT | 07:18 |
| iiicyg | Ryan__, ou, cool. | 07:18 |
| Ryan__ | syrinx_, iiicyg okay so i now have a third partition where free space used to be, and it's a "RAW" partition | 07:19 |

| mango | hi room | 07:19 |
| Ryan__ | syrinx_, iiicyg mkay. thanks a lot guys! i'll come back here if i run into problems. | 07:19 |
| Jordan_U | Ryan__: The main cause of the Ubuntu installer listing a drive as unpartitioned is an invalid partition table. If you do have an invalid partition table then that needs to be fixed before you do any other partitioning of the disk to prevent data loss. "sudo parted -l" will tell you if you have an invalid partition table and what exactly the problem is, like overlapping partitions. | 07:19 |
| gua | tanath: ohh hey. awesome! thanks. i should have looked there, i just assumed | 07:19 |
| iiicyg | Ryan__, welcome :-) | 07:19 |
| tanath | gua, mhm. works with username or uid | 07:20 |
| Ryan__ | Jordan_U, since i'm now going to start installing, if this didn't fix the problem i'll go ahead and do a sudo parted -l and pastebin the output here. :) | 07:20 |
| syrinx_ | Ryan__: come back when your on Ubuntu | 07:20 |

| bartj | can I just upgrade my Ubuntu from 9.04 to 10.10 using the install CD | 07:24 |
| bartj | without corrupting my existing install ? | 07:24 |
| bartj | or will something get over-ridden ? | 07:25 |
| ryan__ | iiicyg, syrinx_: hey guys. :( still shows up as free space. | 07:25 |
| jrtayloriv | I've got a window that I can't kill, and the parent process is already dead. How can I make it go away. | 07:25 |
| ryan__ | iiicyg syrinx_: i'm on ubuntu now though. | 07:25 |
| syrinx_ | ryan__: no try parted | 07:25 |
| syrinx_ | now* | 07:25 |
| iiicyg | ryan__, and what about fdisk -l ? | 07:26 |
| ryan__ | syrinx_ iiicyg Jordan_U: sudo parted -l right? i'll do the fdisk command as well. | 07:26 |
| syrinx_ | bartj: you could just upgrade from Ubuntu, much easier | 07:26 |
| jrtayloriv | nm -- just figured it out :) | 07:26 |
| Jordan_U | ryan__: Yes, "sudo parted -l". | 07:26 |
| bartj | syrinx_, trouble is it says I don't have enough space on my / partition | 07:26 |
| bartj | syrinx_, I am terribly frustrated by that warning and have scoured the web on ways to increase my / partiton but to no avail | 07:27 |
| bartj | thankfully my /home is on a diff partition | 07:27 |

| mobius2 | greetings :] | 07:28 |
| ryan__ | syrinx_ iiicyg Jordan_U how should i proceed? | 07:28 |
| iiicyg | ryan__, what about fdisk -l ? | 07:28 |
| mobius2 | is there a channel for sound problems? | 07:28 |
| ryan__ | iiicyg: about to do the fdisk cmd right now | 07:28 |
| syrinx_ | ryan__: looks like the partition table is messed up | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | ryan__: Those GPT signatures are the reason why the installer was showing the drive as unpartitioned (ideally it should have passed along the error message you're now getting, but it doesn't). | 07:29 |
| iiicyg | ryan__, yes. | 07:29 |
| * mobius2 attempts to use a usb microphone in ubuntu , much to his dismay :P | 07:29 | |
| Jordan_U | ryan__: Run "sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gdisk" Then run "sudo gdisk /dev/sda" and pastebin the output. | 07:30 |
| ryan__ | Jordan_U syrinx_ iiicyg: http://pastebin.com/vbc49T8t | 07:30 |
| syrinx_ | ryan__: so, theres no way to format that partition you made? | 07:32 |
| ryan__ | syrinx_: if i boot back into windows, yeah i can format it fat32 or ntfs | 07:32 |
| ryan__ | Jordan_U: the firs tcommand is running right now | 07:32 |
| syrinx_ | may as well try that | 07:32 |
| kurumin | everyone brazilian | 07:33 |
| ryan__ | syrinx_: alright, let me try this gdisk thing first and then i'll switch os's again | 07:33 |
| kurumin | everyone brazilian? | 07:33 |
| syrinx_ | kurumin: #ubuntu-br | 07:33 |
| kurumin | thanks | 07:33 |
| iiicyg | kk | 07:33 |
| Jordan_U | syrinx_: The problem is that he has GPT signatures but no valid GPT label. gdisk is a utility which can remove the GPT signatures so that the installer will read the partition table without error. | 07:33 |

| Jordan_U | ryan__: Try typing "w" then run "sudo parted -l" again. If you get no error from "sudo parted -l" then the installer should be able to work with the drive now. | 07:37 |
| iiicyg | Jordan_U, but he do nothing. Only open MBR to manipulate it O_o | 07:38 |
| ryan__ | Jordan_U: bah. shortly afterp osting the output of the gdisk command, ubuntu went unresponsive on me | 07:39 |
| ryan__ | Jordan_U: back on ubuntu, but i probably have to re-install gdisk | 07:39 |
| Jordan_U | iiicyg: I'm hoping that gdisk will remove the gpt signatures since he said to treat it as mbr. I'm not sure that it will but I can't remember how to do it and I can't get the menu myself as I don't have a disk in this situation to test with :( | 07:39 |
| ryan__ | Jordan_U: i don't remember what the commmand was. can i just run 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gdisk'? | 07:41 |

| fisch246 | Jordan_U: ah ok i'll just get update manager then | 09:11 |
| fisch246 | i know how to do it, since i'm also currently creating my own distro haha | 09:11 |
| Jordan_U | alesan: Pitivi uses gstreamer, so anything you have a gstreamer plugin for will be supported. | 09:12 |
| fisch246 | thanks everyone | 09:12 |
| alesan | Jordan_U, I use kubuntu, do you think I need to install gstreamer? | 09:12 |
| Jordan_U | alesan: If you open a video in Totem ("Movie Player") and you don't have the needed gstreamer plugin it will be installed automatically. | 09:12 |
| hateball | fisch246: it's possible update-manager is set to only check for LTS releases | 09:12 |

| fisch246 | i know how to upgrade -__- i just wanted to know if you could do it with synaptic... | 09:14 |

| llutz_ | zzaza: use mplayer +lame, see forums for a howto | 09:15 |
| alesan | Jordan_U, I will use kino so I won't have to install gstreamer | 09:15 |

| alesan | ActionParsnip, well I'd rather not | 09:15 |
| Jordan_U | alesan: If you have PiTiVi installed you already have gstreamer, just not all of the gstreamer plugins. | 09:15 |
| avinashhm | llutz, i am getting 'interface doesn't support scanning' for all lo, eth0, eth1 | 09:16 |
| llutz_ | avinashhm: then your wifi-device is down or not available at all | 09:16 |

| Caribou | Hello, | 09:46 |
| jordan3456 | is someone here skilled with flash issues? | 09:47 |
| luckymurali | I installed ubuntu server 10.04 64 bit and there is no desktop on it | 09:47 |
| luckymurali | i want to install desktop on that machine but there is no internet | 09:47 |
| llutz_ | luckymurali: thats why its called server | 09:48 |
| luckymurali | llutz_,:) | 09:48 |
| luckymurali | llutz_, :) | 09:48 |
| Caribou | why not installing desktop then ? | 09:48 |
| zvacet | luckymurali:server comes without desktop | 09:48 |
| maf | sad no GUI interface for the server | 09:48 |
| maf | I mean, imagine giving the big planes no window for the pilots | 09:48 |
| maf | any web interface to the server ? | 09:49 |
| luckymurali | yes i know that we have option to install desktop on the server by sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 09:49 |
| maf | or did someone wnat to intentionally go back to 1982 interfaces | 09:49 |
| juk | coderr: did you try radeon? | 09:49 |
| Caribou | maybe those queries should go to #ubuntu-server | 09:49 |
| Cosmo | I tried sudo nvidia-xconfig and rebooted and it is still giving me the text interface | 09:49 |
| Caribou | in the meantime, I'm having an issue with nm-applet no longer starting automatically upon login | 09:49 |
| luckymurali | ok thnx | 09:49 |
| llutz_ | maf: configuring a server is much faster and easier done by cli in most cases | 09:49 |
| beer_brouwer | can anyone tell me how i can get my exchange calendar entries with SOAP and PHP? | 09:50 |
| Caribou | my only option is to start nm-applet manually which works fine | 09:50 |
| juk | !info nvidia-xconfig | 09:51 |

| Caribou | but looks like the Gnome startup sequence no longer does it | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Caribou: ad it in your startup items then... | 09:51 |
| Caribou | it's there & checked | 09:51 |

| blackdoggy | is anybody here having problems on 10.10 dual monitor with nvidia? | 09:53 |
| Huck | wave files dragged from a cd to a file are much larger than those extracted as waves via sound juicer.... does juicer compress waave iles | 09:53 |
| coderr | juk: i tried xserver-xorg-video-ati/xserver-xorg-ati-radeon, yes. they give errors and whenever X (gdm) starts, the screen turns black, that's why i switched back to fglrx. i pasted the error messages earlier, don't have the link anymore :( | 09:54 |

| ubottu | blackdoggy: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 09:54 |
| jordan3456 | blackdoggy: run xrandr first to see if everything squared away with the monitors. If you don't have it in your system, apt-get it. | 09:54 |
| jordan3456 | also apt-get arandr | 09:54 |
| Cosmo | juk, I will check | 09:54 |
| jordan3456 | that will generate the start up scripts for you | 09:54 |
| blackdoggy | thx jordan3456 i will see what happrns after that | 09:54 |
| beer_brouwer | has someone here got some experience with SOAP? | 09:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Caribou: thatsall I can sugest, I use wicd personally as it also has a cli interface :) | 09:55 |
| jordan3456 | often the extra drivers aren't needed (fglrx, ati, raedon), especially for the older cards. Many times it's just a matter of inserting the xrandr parameters into a configuration file | 09:55 |
| jordan3456 | btw I don't use gnome anymore, but the scenery is the same | 09:56 |
| jordan3456 | only the names and faces change | 09:56 |

| ActionParsnip | Jordan_U: i guess :), old habit | 09:56 |
| micro__ | всем привет! | 09:57 |
| blackdoggy | jordan3456 i tried apt-get but it says Package xrandr is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 09:57 |
| blackdoggy | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 09:57 |
| blackdoggy | is only available from another source | 09:57 |
| blackdoggy | However the following packages replace it: | 09:57 |

| FloodBot1 | blackdoggy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:57 |
| zvacet | luckymurali: you said that you dont have internet ask somebody live Ubuntu cd and install it from there | 09:57 |
| juk | coderr: nvidia caused me a lot pain too some time ago | 09:57 |

| luckymurali | zvacet, can i do on the top of server?? | 09:57 |
| StamEhad | Hi!I'm trying to boot an ole PIII laptop with the Lubuntu 10.10 liveCD but it hangs in the screen with the ubuntu 10.10 and 4 dots. | 09:58 |
| zvacet | luckymurali: yes | 09:58 |
| jordan3456 | blackdoggy: just keep chaining the dependencies into apt-get commands until you fulfill all the dependencies. | 09:58 |
| coderr | juk: yes, it sucks ... | 09:58 |
| zvacet | luckymurali: install just ubuntu -desktop package | 09:58 |
| jordan3456 | in fact, it might be better to try and install xrandr and arandr together, find the missing dependencies, and then plop them in, with the recommends, at once. | 09:58 |
| coderr | guess i'll have to live without compositing then, but it just makes me feel SO stupid ... | 09:58 |
| blackdoggy | jordan 3456 i did x11-xserver-utils and it says its already the newest version | 09:59 |
| luckymurali | zvacet, any procedures on the net ?? | 09:59 |
| jordan3456 | yeah don't redo x11 | 09:59 |
| zvacet | luckymurali: what do you mean? | 09:59 |
| jordan3456 | I mean, don't remove and then retry to install it | 09:59 |
| blackdoggy | aint doing that | 10:00 |
| luckymurali | i mean step by step for just installing desktop | 10:00 |
| zvacet | luckymurali: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 10:00 |
| jordan3456 | black doggy: try running apt-get -y check xrandr | 10:01 |
| jordan3456 | see what's broken | 10:01 |
| jordan3456 | I don't know if the -y switch works, but I'm a fan | 10:01 |
| jordan3456 | that will get you in trouble ;-) | 10:01 |
| juk | Cosmo: do you get Xserver errors? | 10:01 |
| Cosmo | I dont think the driver is causing the issue I just dont know the command to start the gdm back up after using initctl stop gdm | 10:02 |
| juk | !info Xorg | 10:02 |

| zvacet | luckymurali: you can read http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-gui-in-ubuntu-server.html | 10:03 |

| Rabbitbunny | deuterium: I'm pretty sure apt-get autoremove get rid of those. | 10:28 |
| bullgard | deuterium: Normally it discards them. | 10:29 |

| deuterium | bullgard, Rabbitbunny: would computer-janitor do anything additional compared to 'apt-get autoremove', 'apt-get autoclean'? | 10:32 |

| Cosmo | juk, what are the commands to do that? | 10:39 |
| deuterium | can i safely delete the files in /var/cache/apt/archives ? what are they? i expected apt-get autoclean to remove anything unneeded already. | 10:39 |
| juk | Cosmo: apt-get remove foobar; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade | 10:40 |
| deuterium | removing the files in /var/cache/apt/archives would free about 200 mb on my box. ok? | 10:40 |
| Tm_T | deuterium: autoclean removes the old versions of the packages, clean takes the whole cache | 10:40 |
| ethanol | wow, I switched to display time and numbers and stuff to dutch | 10:41 |
| llutz_ | mena: i don't have www here, cannot check your log. why didn't you show that log yesterday, why didn't you tell us yesterday that you're using teamviewer? | 10:41 |

When I installed 10.10 (when it came out) my wifi didn't work and a guy provided me with the Lucid driver and with a small hack that worked, until a while ago where I started having random disconnects, that got partially fixed by resetting my modem/router (upon booting I had to try 4x to connect for it to work), but yesterday evening I randomly got disconnected again and I can't seem to find a solu | 10:41 |
| yuzodo | tion now, I tried resetting my modem/router, I tried ConnMan instead of NetworkManager, I am currently on wired, which surprisingly works because of Wicd although I haven't launched it or made it auto-start. So, what should I do? | 10:41 |
| deuterium | Tm_T: ah ok, so i should have executed apt-get clean, right? or is there any good reason for keeping that cache, apart from obvious performance improvements for apt? | 10:42 |

| larious | can that work for my USB modem | 10:51 |
| zvacet | deuterium: maybe you will find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD useful | 10:51 |
| minimec | larious: I my eyes, you don't. The EC226 should be recognized by the system out of the box. Plug the dongle once and type 'dmesg' in a console. The last 5-6 lines of dmesg should give you the info about your device and how it is recognized by ubuntu. | 10:51 |

| llutz_ | minimec: networkmanager has a pin-handling function | 10:56 |
| larious | minimec: My device is not using PIN cos I do make use of it in window environment and it works without PIN, and this device is not universal that you can change sim card, this device is programmer with one network | 10:56 |
| deuterium | zvacet: thanks for the pointers. i can't follow the synthetic approach as i already have a system, so i'm rather trying to shrink it down. but i have some ideas which programs i could remove and don't need (it's for software development only, so i don't need multimedia apps or games and such that are installed by default) | 10:57 |

| yuzodo | larious, I'll keep that in mind, but that won't fix my current issue right | 10:58 |

| blackshirt | mena: yeah | 10:59 |
| larious | yuzodo: cos you cant get him anymore | 10:59 |
| yuzodo | larious, or maybe it was an update which started to break it? | 11:00 |
| minimec | larious: Still. I do guess that the harware is working correctly. In my eyes it is a configuration problem. As you always trying to configure your device with wvdial, why don't you try to configure your device with the network-manager? use a Huawei E180 that way. | 11:00 |

| ActionParsnip | Cosmo: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dkms | 11:04 |

| B9 | juk: it is like it opens two Banshee applications at the same time and then has a dialogue box that says "Fatal Error ~ Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." | 11:15 |

| goddard | you say git gimmie | 11:16 |
| minimec | B9: I would first try to rename the banshee-1 folder in your /home/yourname/.config folder. That would start a clean banshee session with system default configuration. | 11:16 |

| mena | when i shut-down my machine , it's hanging | 11:18 |
| juk | Cosmo: and X output gives what? | 11:19 |
| soreau | tombaugh: probably have to look into udev rules | 11:21 |
| mena | my com is hanging when i try shutdown | 11:21 |
| b0yce | ActionParsnip, u there? | 11:21 |
| B9 | minimec: that has done well. thank u. I renamed folder & opened it and now it is rescanning library | 11:22 |
| Cosmo | juk, when I typed X it said Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) no drivers available | 11:22 |
| soreau | Cosmo: mv or rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:23 |
| b0yce | can anyone else pls try and help me with my sound? | 11:23 |
| minimec | B9: Nice! ;) That would always be my first step if one of my software doesn't work as expected. The folders are normally in /home/yourname, /home/yourname/.config or /home/yourname/.local | 11:24 |

| mena | i get error when i try shut down my pc?? | 11:24 |

| Slartibart | the opposite of down | 11:25 |
| soreau | Slartibart: egrep "word1|word2" | 11:25 |
| b0yce | soreau, how do i find it in ubuntu? | 11:25 |
| soreau | b0yce: lspci if its on the PCI bus | 11:25 |
| b0yce | and where's that? i have only just loaded ubuntu on the cd. i am a noob at this | 11:26 |
| juk | Cosmo: sucks, try manually going into /usr/src/nvidia-current-* ; and type: make module; make install | 11:27 |
| Slartibart | soreau: But that would make an OR condition, right? What if I have to find the files with say 4 given words in them, in any order? | 11:27 |
| mena | i have problem? my computer is hanging when i try shutdown | 11:27 |
| B9 | minimec: stellar advice I will remember. does it matter what you rename it too? how does this work particular what does it do? I like to know what is going on behind the scene as well | 11:28 |
| soreau | Slartibart: You might have to write a small oneliner bash script depending on what you want to do exactly | 11:28 |
| cosmo_ | there now I have my desktop back | 11:28 |
| soreau | cosmo_: compiz --replace and metacity --replace | 11:29 |

| jrib | Slartibart: on the same line? | 11:29 |
| Slartibart | soreau: Thought so.. Thanks. | 11:29 |
| soreau | Slartibart: #bash if you need bash specific help | 11:30 |
| juk | soreau: do you have that config removed, im not sure if it's needed by nvidia, mine in there | 11:31 |
| cosmo_ | soreau, I dont have metacity installed only compiz it was nvidia drivers that caused it | 11:31 |
| minimec | B9: When you start a software for the first time, it will launch with system defaults (Sometimes they are stored in /etc, sometimes in /usr/share/). Afterwards the software will always start with your personal configuration stored in some .xy folder or .xyrc file in your /home/yourname directory. removing that folder or file will force the software to create a new personal config file starting with the system defaults. | 11:32 |
| soreau | juk: Right now, you probably dont have nvidia-commo installed, but your conf file is set to use the nvidia driver | 11:32 |
| soreau | juk: So either install the driver or use nouveau (which should be the default without a conf file) | 11:33 |
| raviepic3 | people i own a laptop with ubuntu 10, 64 bit on it. people say they can reset my root password without my access | 11:33 |

| juk | soreau: no, i have nvidia enabled | 11:34 |
| soreau | juk: Do you have nvidia-common installed? | 11:34 |
| raviepic3 | soreau, friends when i talk about linux vs windows | 11:34 |
| cosmo_ | so since I screwed up that instalation what is the correct way to install the newest nvidia drivers? | 11:34 |
| Lorans | i get error that my computer hangs when i shut-down it | 11:34 |
| juk | soreau: yes | 11:34 |
| soreau | raviepic3: Id be willing to wager they dont know what theyre talking about | 11:34 |
| soreau | juk: And you still get the message no drivers when starting X? Try reinstalling it? | 11:35 |
| raviepic3 | jrib, how to restrict this ? even if they have physical access to my machine they should not be in a position to do it ? | 11:35 |
| jrib | raviepic3: use encryption | 11:35 |
| juk | soreau: nvidia acceleration works, just wondering if that config no needed anymore | 11:35 |
| raviepic3 | jrib, any links to read more about it ? encrypt what ? where ? how ? | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | juk: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dkms | 11:35 |

| penos | what? | 11:36 |

| soreau | juk: If you didnt have nvidia installed and you just wanted to get into X, its an easy way | 11:36 |

| adax | hi | 11:37 |
| adax | what could the cause be of my laptop fan being on high permanently? Even when starting up from a cold laptop.. it's making a lot of noise. | 11:37 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: I said rm or mv, not nvidia-xconfig | 11:37 |
| raviepic3 | soreau, any idea where can i learn more about to avoid this ? | 11:38 |
| jrib | raviepic3: encrypt everything. It's up to you to decide if it's worth it to you. Personally, I only encrypt data that I wouldn't want people to obtain in case my laptop is stolen (my home). But if you are truly paranoid and don't mind the performance hit, go for your whole system. You have to decide if it's worth it to you. For most, it's probably not | 11:38 |
| cosmo_ | to install the most recent nvidia drivers do I use the additional drivers app and choose current or what? | 11:38 |
| juk | sougata: ah, OK | 11:38 |
| minimec | B9: The name of the config file is normally given by the software, so just changing the name to 'something' is normally enough. Some software might allow you to start with a given configuration file, like 'irssi --config=~/.irssi/myconfig' | 11:38 |
| soreau | raviepic3: google or ##linux | 11:38 |
| soreau | adax: Probably graphics driver driving the card carelessly | 11:38 |
| soreau | cosmo_: yes | 11:39 |
| Gnea | !ppa | 11:39 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. | 11:39 |

| adimit | OK, so I've about had it with shoddy pulseaudio; now it's not letting me unmute. It starts out muted, I unmute. For a second or so, I'll hear some sound, and then it's gonna mute again. I can spam the unmute button, and then I can hear my audio choppily. WHAT THE …? Anyone knows what's going on? | 11:39 |
| raviepic3 | jrib, from your words i understand he can reset the password and enter into my system but will not be able to take data if encrypted ?! but my question is cant be prevent the entry part itself ? | 11:39 |
| soreau | adax: Then it doesnt have anything to do with ubuntu. Try ##hardware | 11:39 |
| adimit | Googling doesn't help. Alsa does. Why am I even keeping Pulseaudio again? | 11:40 |
| soreau | adimit: You can remove it | 11:40 |
| soreau | ! pulseaudio | adimit | 11:40 |
| ubottu | adimit: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 11:40 |
| soreau | and removal instructions | 11:40 |
| adimit | soreau: at which point everything starts to crash and burn, because Ubuntu is expecting pluse to actually be there (i.e. all the default applications.) | 11:41 |
| adax | oh ok thanks | 11:41 |
| soreau | adimit: No one is forcing you to use ubuntu | 11:41 |
| jrib | raviepic3: you can set a grub password, make sure your laptop does not boot from anything but the hard drive, set a bios password, but none of this prevents your friend from removing the hard drive, accessing it, then putting it back in your laptop | 11:41 |
| adimit | yeah, I kinda dread having to reinstall my system, But that's where it's going... | 11:41 |
| adimit | So I figure, no one here knows the issue either? | 11:41 |
| cosmo_ | to restart the x server do I need to do a full reboot or is there a command? | 11:42 |
| jrib | cosmo_: sudo service gdm restart | 11:42 |
| adimit | cosmo_: log out and re-log in. | 11:42 |
| soreau | raviepic3: Yea, bottom line is, if someone really wants to maliciously hack you, they will find a way. Better try to keep it in a place where no one can gain physical access | 11:42 |
| raviepic3 | oh | 11:43 |
| soreau | but I dont think one can easily get your password from ubuntu | 11:43 |

| Senjai | raven: you mean 3G/edge? | 12:14 |
| soreau | Senjai: I cant really tell. Could be geany but probably some vim variant | 12:14 |
| raven | yes | 12:14 |
| Senjai | raven: thats illegal | 12:14 |

| Senjai | raven: I dont, and Im sure ubuntu doesnt support hacking 3g networks | 12:15 |
| romantic_rectum | Hi all. I've got a problem. When I chose from gnome panel drive which is not yet mounted the system promps me for password. I guess it may have something to do with the fact that I hashed user in visudo, still I would like it to keep it that way. Any suggestions? | 12:15 |
| Senjai | raven: if your looking for liek a 3g api thats different | 12:15 |
| raven | NOT HACKING | 12:15 |
| Komotive | Hello all | 12:15 |
| Senjai | raven: OH sorry :( | 12:15 |
| Senjai | raven: Your looking for a tool to get something on a network then? A Driver? | 12:15 |
| Senjai | soreauI think its vim | 12:15 |
| Komotive | I wonder if anyone can help with an UbuntuOne issue I'm experiencing? | 12:16 |
| Senjai | soreau: Its nice though | 12:16 |
| raven | how to display the used networking traffic on mobile networks per month? | 12:16 |
| soreau | yuzodo: What wifi chip is it? | 12:16 |
| yuzodo | how can i retrieve windows' wifi driver(s)? | 12:16 |
| yuzodo | soreau, broadcom 4312 | 12:16 |
| yuzodo | soreau, i've tried literally everything but ndiswrapper | 12:16 |
| Senjai | raven: Uhmm, for your own devices? I dont know, you might need to install a monitoring tool on the devices. | 12:17 |
| soreau | yuzodo: You can get drivers from the manufacturers website usually | 12:17 |
| soreau | ! broadcom | yuzodo | 12:17 |
| ubottu | yuzodo: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 12:17 |
| yuzodo | soreau, so from broadcom or dell? | 12:17 |
| raven | Senjai, i am looking for such a monitoring tool | 12:17 |
| Senjai | raven, hmm let me check | 12:17 |
| soreau | yuzodo: broadcom or use the linux drivers | 12:17 |
| Senjai | raven, for what mobile device? | 12:18 |
| Abhijit | hi | 12:18 |
| yuzodo | soreau, k, tried the linux ones, had issues and stuff | 12:18 |
| Abhijit | anyone with qt knowledge? | 12:18 |
| Abhijit | help | 12:18 |
| soreau | yuzodo: issues with what? | 12:18 |
| raven | Senjai, 3g stick | 12:18 |
| Senjai | OH | 12:18 |
| soreau | ! ask | Abhijit | 12:18 |
| ubottu | Abhijit: 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. :-) | 12:18 |
| yuzodo | soreau, lemme tell you by PM | 12:18 |
| Senjai | okay, so its just a 3g stick on your computer? | 12:18 |
| Abhijit | when i try to run g++ qtap.cpp it give error qttui not found. but the same file runs in qt creator | 12:18 |
| Abhijit | whats missing? | 12:18 |
| Abhijit | how to tell g++ where to look fot qtgui | 12:18 |
| Abhijit | help | 12:18 |
| Senjai | Abhijit Check out #qt-creator if nobody here can answer your question | 12:19 |
| Senjai | raven, its just a 3g stic off of your computer? | 12:19 |
| Abhijit | Senjai, no | 12:19 |
| pokebear | Another question: How do I search for files in a terminal window? I would like to start using the terminal as much as possible, as I want to get away from the user interface as much as possible. : > | 12:19 |
| Abhijit | Senjai, its nothing to do with qt creator. its to do with ubuntu | 12:19 |
| dcorbin_wrk | pokebar: man find | 12:19 |
| lesshaste | I get a really weird corrupted text problem which I think is down to my graphics griver.. I am using radeon.. is there an alternative? | 12:19 |
| raven | Senjai, yes | 12:19 |
| Abhijit | qt creator runs my application is not my problem. | 12:20 |
| Abhijit | g++ dont run my application IS my problem | 12:20 |
| Pici | pokebear: man find, but thats rather intimidating. find /path/ -iname "*words*" will do a case-insenstive search for files in /path/ | 12:20 |
| Pici | pokebear: That should get you started with understanding how the switches for find work. | 12:20 |
| Senjai | Abhijit from my knowledge of C++, you dont have your paths set to find the library | 12:20 |
| soreau | Abhijit: You have to use -L /path/to/qtlib | 12:20 |
| Senjai | Abhijit ^^ | 12:20 |
| soreau | lesshaste: What card is it? | 12:21 |
| Abhijit | soreau 'where' to look for qt includes in 'UBUNTU'? | 12:21 |
| lesshaste | soreau: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] [1002:5954] | 12:21 |
| Senjai | raven, that should be simple | 12:21 |
| pokebear | Well, I want to look for the irssi config-file, but I don't know where the application gets installed when I use apt-get install-cmd. So for searching for files, where I don't know where to look? :-P | 12:21 |
| soreau | Abhijit: /usr/lib probably | 12:21 |
| lesshaste | soreau: it's a newish problem (on lucid lynx) so I assume it's a bug | 12:21 |
| Senjai | raven, http://humdi.net/vnstat/ maybe? | 12:21 |
| raven | Senjai, ok tnx | 12:21 |
| soreau | lesshaste: I think its already fixed upstream in recent kernels | 12:22 |
| yuzodo | soreau, I can't find the driver on the site | 12:22 |
| lesshaste | soreau: oh.. you heard of it? | 12:22 |
| lesshaste | soreau: I am not alone! :) | 12:22 |
| Senjai | raven, seeing as though your using a 3g stick, any network logger will work for your purposes | 12:22 |
| soreau | lesshaste: Yes, I had font corruption for awhile | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | pokebear, try a 'sudo updatedb' then a 'locate irssi' | 12:22 |
| lesshaste | soreau: any idea of a bug reference? | 12:22 |
| soreau | lesshaste: Are you using xorg-edgers repo? | 12:22 |
| lesshaste | soreau: I don't think so.. I think I am just on the default | 12:22 |
| Senjai | soreau, is qt in ubuntu by default? | 12:23 |
| joeghi | anyone knows what is the chkconfig equivalent in ubuntu for turning on and off services? | 12:23 |
| pokebear | Dr_Willis_TCL: Thanks alot | 12:23 |
| lesshaste | soreau: but I installed this a while ago so how do I check? | 12:23 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | joe75, theres the service command.. but that does not permently disable services. | 12:23 |
| soreau | lesshaste: Can you do a test for me please? Do videos play ok for you? Specifically, xv output: mplayer -vo xv /path/to/some/video.ext | 12:23 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | joe75, never noticed a command that manages upstart that way. theres some for the older sysv services.. | 12:23 |
| joe75 | tab fail >_> | 12:23 |
| soreau | Senjai: I dont think so | 12:24 |
| soreau | Senjai: Its more of a kde thing | 12:24 |
| serpentologist | How do i start Ubuntu in console mode? I mean without graphical system running | 12:24 |
| jrib | serpentologist: why? Forever or just once? | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | serpentologist, use the 'text' kernel boot option is one way | 12:24 |
| joe75 | Hexley: tab complete ftl | 12:24 |
| soreau | serpentologist: Append single to the kernel line | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | that disables gdm from starting and disables plymouth | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | i wonder how single differs from text.. Perhaps some services dont get started in single? | 12:25 |
| lesshaste | soreau: which part of the output do you want? http://pastebin.com/c2pCLsH5 | 12:25 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis_TCL: I am wondering too now | 12:25 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | single auto logs in dosent it? ive not used single in ages. | 12:25 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis_TCL: single is used for recovery mode afaik | 12:25 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | single = opens a root shell? or is that recovery. :) | 12:25 |
| jrib | soreau, Dr_Willis_TCL: yes, single is recovery mode | 12:25 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | single = recovery then? but recovery also launches that recovery menu. | 12:26 |
| soreau | lesshaste: I dont want the output, I just wanted to know if it plays ok | 12:26 |
| lesshaste | soreau: plays fine :) | 12:26 |
| soreau | lesshaste: Try installing xorg-edgers and see if the problem goes away | 12:26 |
| Senjai | Does anyone know a media player in Ubuntu that has output quality similar to iTunes? | 12:26 |
| serpentologist | is there some key combination to press during boot process to launch a menu with possible options for booting? i tried pressing esc but it had no effect | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip | serpentologist: add the boot option: text and you will be a user in text mode, no X server will run | 12:27 |
| aCiD2 | Hi, having a bit of trouble getting grub2 to work now that I've changed hard drives. I've updated /etc/fstab to point to my new partition uuids, and update-grub uses the correct /boot partition, but is still using my old / uuid (on the other drive) | 12:27 |
| lesshaste | soreau: ok.. thanks.. I should find the bug reference too | 12:27 |
| joeghi | Dr_Willis_TCL: then how to enable or disable services at startup permanently? | 12:27 |
| aCiD2 | Any idea what I could be missing? | 12:27 |
| coz_ | Senjai, rhythmbox ? | 12:27 |
| soreau | Senjai: There used to be songbird, but I think they may have discontinued linux support | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Senjai: depends on config of sound. I use deadbeef + pulseaudio-mixer. Works like a champ | 12:27 |
| Senjai | coz_, when you use a subwoofer, the quality is poor with rythmbox | 12:27 |
| jrib | aCiD2: update uuid in grub configuration? | 12:27 |
| Senjai | ActionParsnip Good quality with a sound system/ | 12:27 |
| serpentologist | ActionParsnip, what file should i edit? grub's menu.lst? | 12:27 |
| Abhijit | soreau, there is kde 4 and qt 4 folders but they dont have include files | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Senjai: the sound quality is usually down to the initial file played as well as the hardware used | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | joeghi, if they are upstart based . rename the ./etc/init/ file. or edit it. as needed. or just remvoe the service. | 12:28 |
| soreau | ! compile | Abhijit | 12:28 |
| ubottu | Abhijit: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | serpentologist: in /etc/default/grub in the quotes with: quiet splash | 12:28 |
| aCiD2 | jrib: no, since the move to grub2 you don't do that manually | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | serpentologist, are you using grub1 or 2? the text option is for the newer ubuntu versions.. that default to grub2 | 12:28 |
| soreau | Abhijit: You can also try ##c++ | 12:28 |
| aCiD2 | jrib: it uses os-prober to determine that stuff now | 12:28 |
| jrib | aCiD2: well did it? | 12:28 |
| aCiD2 | I'm going to try chrooting into the copied system, and running update-grub from there | 12:28 |
| aCiD2 | jrib: no... hence my question | 12:28 |
| jrib | aCiD2: yeah, so edit it manually | 12:28 |
| coz_ | Senjai, here is a list of media players http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_media_players | 12:28 |
| Senjai | Abhijit your question is a C++ question. Ask in ##c++ for those questions. | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Senjai: try a few, see which you lik. As I say, most of sound quality isn't the app. I suggest you grab pulseaudio mixer so you can tweak the sound | 12:29 |
| Abhijit | Senjai, no its not. | 12:29 |
| aCiD2 | jrib: no, because then it will just get broken again when I update my kernel | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | see above serpentologist: | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Senjai: sorry, wrong targer | 12:29 |
| Abhijit | Senjai, c++ is nothing to dith which library is where in my ubuntu | 12:29 |
| jrib | aCiD2: no it won't | 12:29 |
| soreau | Senjai: Yea, its probably pulseaudio being crappy, your sound card or audio drivers | 12:29 |
| jrib | aCiD2: the problem is with your existing entries | 12:29 |
| Senjai | Abhijit Yes it does, those libraries are installed by qt or kde, not ubuntu | 12:29 |
| coz_ | Senjai, do you have a pro sound card? | 12:30 |
| Senjai | Abhijit They do not come with ubuntu, you have to replace them, or find out where they are. | 12:30 |
| === pokebear is now known as pokegroup | ||
| Senjai | coz_ Yes | 12:30 |
| coz_ | Senjai, same here,,, which one? | 12:30 |
| === pokegroup is now known as pokebear | ||
| Senjai | ActionParsnip Ill check it out, deadbeef sounds cool | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Senjai: its light and able :) | 12:30 |
| joeghi | Dr_Willis_TCL: update-rc.d can be used or is reserved to package scripts? | 12:31 |
| coz_ | deadbeef is kinda cool | 12:31 |
| Senjai | coz_ SoundFX I think | 12:31 |
| coz_ | Senjai, which manufacturer? | 12:31 |
| Senjai | coz_ one sec let me open my sys info | 12:31 |
| Senjai | coz_ (on my windows boot atm.) | 12:31 |
| bullgard | What purpose serves a certain value of the environmant variable GNOME_KEYRING_PID? | 12:31 |
| coz_ | Senjai, ah ok | 12:31 |
| aCiD2 | Running update-grub within a chroot environment seems to have fixed this | 12:31 |
| coz_ | Senjai, in ubuntu simply open alsamixer it should be listed there as well | 12:32 |
| Fuchs | bullgard: it is the unique process identifier | 12:32 |
| Senjai | coz_ IDT High Def. | 12:32 |
| Fuchs | bullgard: used to identify the process providing the current keyring process. | 12:32 |
| Senjai | coz_ its the one that comes with Dell XPS | 12:32 |
| Laurenceb_ | is there a way to make notifications dissapear? | 12:32 |
| bullgard | Fuchs: Thank you. | 12:32 |
| Ubunewb | hey does anyone know how to start compiz on startup? ubuntu 10.04. everytime I restart ubuntu, compiz deactivates again | 12:32 |
| Laurenceb_ | theres no cross on them in 10.04 | 12:32 |
| v_v | !compiz | 12:33 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 12:33 |
| Fuchs | bullgard: you can check it with `pidof` or pgrep | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | joeghi, im not sure if that command works with the new Upstart based services or not... | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | joeghi, it should work with the older sysv type services. | 12:33 |
| coz_ | Senjai, seems the driver in windows for that particular card has given some issues as well... you could check in #alsa for compiling the alsa driver for that specifig card,,, I have to do that ,, espeicially on Lucid,, | 12:34 |
| coz_ | Senjai, If you want full functionality that may be the way to go | 12:34 |
| Senjai | coz_ alsa? | 12:35 |
| coz_ | Senjai, yes the alsa sound driver | 12:35 |
| Senjai | coz_ The reason im on windows is for good sound quality atm | 12:35 |
| Senjai | coz_ want my music to play on my system properly | 12:35 |
| coz_ | Senjai, it can be tweaked during compile. | 12:35 |
| soreau | Senjai: Then you need to install the right drivers | 12:35 |
| Senjai | Ohdear | 12:35 |
| coz_ | Senjai, pulseaudio may not support all features of that card | 12:35 |
| Senjai | complicated | 12:35 |
| coz_ | Senjai, not really for me the command is ,/configure --with-cards=layla24 --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes | 12:36 |
| Senjai | coz_ with alsa? | 12:36 |
| romantic_rectum | I installed xorg and gnome-core, now I have problem mounting drives from nautilus as a user. Help. | 12:36 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum you can mount in terminal, but not nautilus? | 12:37 |
| coz_ | Senjai, yes that would be the command "for my card" with the alsa driver ,, then the alsa libs and then the alsa firmware,,,not sure firmware would be needed on your card but you might have to do a bit of research | 12:37 |
| StrangeCharm | is there a good way to tell which firefox addons are slowing things down? | 12:37 |
| Senjai | coz_ Didnt know about this, thanks for your help[ | 12:37 |
| b0ot | coz_, do you know of anyway that might work to start a script @boot with root access when the script fails with crontab, rc.local, and linking it to init.d (it runs but segfaults when it gets to a program) but runs fine when I wait until ubuntu boots and run it in the terminal? I have also tried to manually set the $PATH and $TERM in the script without sucess. | 12:37 |
| === jesus is now known as Guest2372 | ||
| Senjai | StrangeCharm, probably anything that involves logging, GUI, etc. | 12:38 |
| romantic_rectum | Senjai, I honestly don't think so, however, accessing unmounted partition from nautilus was never (with regular installations) a problem. I think I just need to set something. | 12:38 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum, you dual boot? | 12:38 |
| coz_ | b0ot, the person here I would trust with script is soreau ,,:) | 12:38 |
| romantic_rectum | Senjai, Yes. | 12:38 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum, do you know what partition your windows machine is on | 12:38 |
| romantic_rectum | Senjai, Yes. | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | romantic_rectum, theres proberly some gvfs services you need. | 12:39 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum, like /dev/sda3? | 12:39 |
| Abhijit | Omg!!! Omg!! My first qt application runns successfully!!!! :-D | 12:39 |
| StrangeCharm | Senjai, i'm not totally clear what the logical extrapolation is from logging and gui | 12:39 |
| b0ot | soreau, any ideas? | 12:39 |
| romantic_rectum | Dr_Willis_TCL, that may be it. | 12:39 |
| romantic_rectum | Senjai, Yes. | 12:39 |
| coz_ | Abhijit, :) | 12:39 |
| Abhijit | :-) | 12:39 |
| pokebear | I am trying to set-up IRSSI using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010780 - however I can't get pass the "Automatically connect..." part, mkdir $HOME/.irssi/scripts/autorun doesn't work, nothing happens. The second line works, but I can't find it :P | 12:39 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum, go into terminal, type: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/DriveName/ -t ntfs | 12:39 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum where drivename is the drive name of your windows partition. | 12:40 |
| TobalJackson | hello ubuntu chat | 12:40 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum first check if that works | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | pokebear, is there a .irssi/scripts directory? is there an autorun directroy in that dir? | 12:40 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: you can create a crontab script with line start of @reboot to start at boot, if you sudo crontab -e then it will be started in root with root privs | 12:40 |
| TobalJackson | I was wondering if anyone could help me construct a bash script | 12:40 |
| romantic_rectum | Senjai, it works, already checked it, thou I am using root, not sudo. | 12:40 |
| pokebear | There's no irssi-dir in home | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | TobalJackson, dozens of bash script guides there. | 12:40 |
| TobalJackson | specifically, I'm trying to figure out if | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | pokebear, read it closely.. it says .irssi see the . ? | 12:40 |
| b0ot | sacarlson, thanks for the suggestion, but I have already tried that without sucesss. My script will call a program that segfaults | 12:40 |
| TobalJackson | I can truncate a grep return with SED | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | pokebear, its a hidden directory. | 12:41 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum oh, your logged in as root? | 12:41 |
| pokebear | Yes, but there's no such thing. lost+found, +user +Games | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | TobalJackson, grep patterh file | sed sedoptoions | 12:41 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: then add a sleep 30 or some time in your script or find what is needed to be running for it to work | 12:41 |
| TobalJackson | if i do 'sudo blkid | grep -i NtFs' | 12:41 |
| romantic_rectum | Senjai, no, just on one of terminals. | 12:41 |
| pokebear | It didn't create a new dir. Do I need the -pv attributes? Tried running with sudo, nothing happened either. | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | pokebear, your home direcotry is for your users.. You most likely dont have those dirs in your home directory. | 12:41 |
| TobalJackson | and what I want to do is truncate the return to just the '/dev/sdb1' | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | pokebear, i think you need to spend an hr learning some bash basics.. | 12:42 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum, oh so when you try to mount through nautilus what happend | 12:42 |
| === richard is now known as Guest48248 | ||
| === Guest48248 is now known as richardfullmer | ||
| Dr_Willis_TCL | pokebear, you did NOT want to use sudo that would make the dir owned by root, | 12:42 |
| TobalJackson | right now without truncating the return it looks like '/dev/sdb1: LABEL="HD E" ........blah blah' | 12:42 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: I asume you also provide complete path when you do anything in crontab | 12:42 |
| romantic_rectum | Senjai, I forgot to mention that it looks the same for ext4 partitions | 12:42 |
| pokebear | Dr_Willis_TCL: I think so too! :) | 12:42 |
| b0ot | sacarlson, I was under the impression that the env didn't change if it was called with crontab... is that not correct? | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | pokebear, also you may want to check out 'weechat' if you want a console based irc client. | 12:43 |
| TobalJackson | is there a way to just capture the first 10 characters of a text return | 12:43 |

| === Katreyo is now known as Senjai | ||
| b0ot | sacarlson, I guess what i'm asking is if I call something with crontab and the script has a sleep 30, even after the script is called the env is still different than the normal env because it was called with crontab isn't it? | 12:44 |
| Senjai | Sorry | 12:44 |
| Senjai | that was weird | 12:44 |
| pokebear | I like a challenge, I don't mind getting into problems. It's part of the learning process. :P | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | TobalJackson, theres dozens of ;'quick awk' script and 'quick sed' examples out there on the web. i always have to look stuff up when i use them. dont use them a lotl | 12:44 |
| jrib | krokop: use Access Control Lists (man setfacl; man getfacl; note you need to add the "acl" option to the partition in fstab) | 12:44 |
| pokebear | I'll try them both out. Thanks | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | pokebear, spend the time learning some bash first. :) | 12:44 |
| TobalJackson | Dr_Willis_TCL: what terms should I search for? Truncate stdout with awk|sed? | 12:44 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum are you aware your name is romantic rectum/ | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | TobalJackson, awk/sed oneliners proberly will tgive pages of quick examples. | 12:45 |
| romantic_rectum | sejo, ronnie's_rectum was taken. | 12:45 |
| Senjai | romantic_rectum disturbing lol | 12:45 |
| krokop | jrib: can umask do this? | 12:45 |
| TobalJackson | hmm, ok thanks, I'll try searching | 12:45 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: yes the env is different at start and at end it makes no difference the sesion is closed | 12:45 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis_TCL: TCL? | 12:46 |
| b0ot | sacarlson, I already set my $PATH and $TERM variables... what other ones could be causing the problem | 12:46 |
| jrib | krokop: no. The alternative to using Access Control Lists is to setgid /var/www, make the group www-data, and make sure umask for users is 002. But this won't work on subdirectories of /var/www/ automatically. | 12:46 |
| soreau | b0ot: Make sure to use absolute paths | 12:46 |
| b0ot | soreau, for which part? | 12:47 |
| soreau | b0ot: use absolute paths to any programs or scripts you are referencing | 12:48 |
| b0ot | soreau, my scripts start, they just segfault when they call a program, but the program itself starts so I don't think it is a path issue. (I could be mistaken) | 12:48 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: I'm not sure you need to look inside the scripts you run to see what env values it uses. maybe just copy the env you know it works in and import that into the cron sesion if needed | 12:48 |
| soreau | b0ot: If your script is segfaulting, that sounds like more of a personal problem :P | 12:48 |
| vesh | hello there have ubuntu server installed on virtual box but have limited the hard disk space to 100gig fixed is there anyway of having this increased | 12:48 |
| b0ot | soreau, do you know of anyway that might work to start a script @boot with root access when the script fails with crontab, rc.local, and linking it to init.d (it runs but segfaults when it gets to a program) but runs fine when I wait until ubuntu boots and run it in the terminal? I have also tried to manually set the $PATH and $TERM in the script without sucess. | 12:48 |
| soreau | vesh: Ask in #vbox | 12:49 |
| b0ot | soreau, so I know the program itself works, just not the way that cron and it's related programs start it | 12:49 |
| sacarlson | soreau: I guess b0ot must have some custom program that uses some custom libs and when run in cron it must run the wrong lib? | 12:49 |
| soreau | b0ot: I have no idea what is segfaulting for you or why | 12:49 |
| soreau | sacarlson: no idea | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | soreau, on Tiny Core Linux right now. :) | 12:50 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis_TCL: oh neat | 12:50 |
| coz_ | ah^^ | 12:50 |
| b0ot | soreau, any ideas on other ways I could start the script? | 12:50 |
| soreau | b0ot: You pretty much named them all | 12:50 |
| b0ot | :( | 12:51 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: maybe your program needs an xserver? | 12:51 |
| soreau | b0ot: Maybe it would help to explain more exactly what you are trying to do | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | b0ot, what is this thing doing exdactly? rc.local is about far into the boot process as it gets.. | 12:51 |
| b0ot | sacarlson, soreau Dr_Willis_TCL I have a script that simply calls a program which was supplied by my mpegencoder vendor that turns on my mpegencoder and streams the video locally via rtp to port 7070 | 12:52 |

| romantic_rectum | Dr_Willis_TCL, Some people found solution to coresponding problem with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1350526&page=2 ,however, I don't have that files. You mentioned I may need to install something. | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | TobalJackson, theres proberly a dozen ways to get the first 10 characters from a line. You could just use awk/sed and a regular expression also. to match 10 characters | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | romantic_rectum, i dont even remember what your problem is/was :) | 12:54 |
| sacarlson | b0ot: did you try the delay start of a few minits or whatever time you nomaly take to start in in a terminal. I guess if your network is slow to get started is the only thing I see that might cause a problem | 12:55 |
| b0ot | If I could change the program to be able to run at the userlevel would starting the script with startup applications allow it to have the same env as if it I started it normally in terminal after ubuntu loaded? I have also attempted to launch the script with screen? | 12:55 |
| romantic_rectum | Dr_Willis_TCL, : ) same as in thread. Nautilus (?) request authentication during mount. | 12:55 |
| b0ot | sacarlson, I could try but the computer boots fairly quickly (ssd) | 12:56 |
| soreau | b0ot: Have you tried putting a delay to start the script until the system is all the way up? | 12:56 |
| b0ot | I will go give it a try. I have to go for now. Thank you very much for your suggestions soreau Dr_Willis_TCL sacarlson. I will let you know how it goes. | 12:56 |

| antonio_ | acicula: from 64bit network dump I see a too high value for tcp window size, maybe a bug? I can reproduce the issue | 14:01 |
| acicula | codebeaker: maybe because it sees little use, or because configuration is similar wether you install from source or apt? | 14:01 |
| codebeaker | acicula: regardless, it's difficult to get started for someone who never did it befoer… none of the ubuntu paths patch anything like the source installs | 14:03 |
| acicula | codebeaker: yeah packaging ussually breaks up the package in /etc /var and /usr sections | 14:03 |

| nsahoo | one of the ubuntu installations lost network connection over the weekend. It is connected by ethernet to the lan, but, can't ping to any place even if I provide the direct IP | 14:26 |
| elFidel | nsahoo: start with ipconfig | 14:27 |
| secretary_linux | ActionParsnip: thanks, though it seems the ubuntu install image has already mounted proc, sys, dev etc. the guide you sent seems more inclined toward users with working installations already... | 14:27 |

| === herton is now known as herton_lunch | ||
| Curly_Q | Also type in ifconfig -a | 14:29 |

| elFidel | nsahoo: any hw-changes in the past? maybe its just a udev issue | 14:29 |
| nsahoo | elFidel: no, I was away for 4 days. I could connect remotely for a day after that it went down | 14:30 |
| Curly_Q | Nsahoo, pinging localhost means that your NIC card is working. | 14:30 |
| Curly_Q | Next check the RJ45 cables. | 14:30 |
| nsahoo | Curly_Q: /etc/resolv.conf is empty | 14:30 |

| FloodBot2 | C3D: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:31 |
| Curly_Q | Nsahoo, you need to backtrack what you did to get to this situation if you changed any configurations then. I was thinking from a Hardware Layer 1 viewpoint. | 14:31 |
| mha | how do I disable ubuntu's default behavior to disallow me to tab filenames to any command given? for instance, ls /et<tab> completes /etc/, sysctl -p /et<tab> does not. | 14:31 |

| llutz | Curly_Q: how would you see a working nic with "ping localhost"? lo(opback device is part of the ip-stack and has nothing to do with a physical NIC) | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | mha, im not on ubuntu right now. | 14:33 |
| elFidel | nsahoo: is that a dualboot box? | 14:33 |
| mha | Dr_Willis_TCL: aha. it'll just stand there and look stupid. :] | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | mha, given how good the bash completion is in ubuntu. File a bug report. they may fix that. | 14:33 |
| mha | Dr_Willis_TCL: anyhow. noticed that it was some /etc/bash_completion* stuff left behind. A kind rm -rf fixed the problem. | 14:33 |
| Curly_Q | Nsahoo, where are you from? It maybe because of the Japan Earthquake. Lots of networks are down right now. | 14:33 |
| mha | Dr_Willis_TCL: I rather just get rid of the problem. :) | 14:33 |
| nsahoo | Curly_Q: no. I am in Pennsylvania. | 14:34 |
| nsahoo | Curly_Q: in a university | 14:34 |
| Curly_Q | LLutz, if you can ping the localhost the NIC card is working. | 14:34 |
| Curly_Q | It is the first step in troubleshooting. | 14:34 |
| mha | Dr_Willis_TCL: I actually hate it. if I have a mounted partition on /mnt/something, and only /mnt/else is in /etc/fstab, the tab completion will autocomplete /mnt/something on umount /mn<tab> | 14:34 |
| nsahoo | Curly_Q: other machines are working. | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | mha, thers proberly some key combo for bash that makes it do what you wanted. Ive not read the bash completion guides/docs in a long time. but i recall there being ways to do that. | 14:34 |
| llutz | Curly_Q: ping localhost even works without any nic | 14:34 |
| mha | Dr_Willis_TCL: sorry. /mnt/else will be completed course. | 14:35 |
| Curly_Q | Nsahoo, go to the literal machine and see if it is turned on or unplugged. | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | mha, cant say ive ever noticed the issue. | 14:35 |
| mha | Dr_Willis_TCL: try it too... | 14:35 |

| bullgard | timmybobcat14: Read 'man mount'. | 14:35 |
| kikz | does any 1 knows if theres a local channel for chicago ? | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | and as i said. theres probelry some combo-tab that makes it go the other way. | 14:35 |
| nsahoo | Curly_Q: I am in front of the machine. checking different configurations now. Perhaps I should put the live CD in and see if that works | 14:35 |
| Curly_Q | llutz, that was the first step I mentioned and the second was ifconfig -a to see if the NIC address was available. | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | I dont even have a browser handy to lookup 'bash completion guide' :) | 14:36 |
| C3D | sometimes this place is just way too busy | 14:36 |

| ubottu | mynameisdeleted: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 14:41 |
| mynameisdeleted | as its based on c and has least overhead and memory use? | 14:41 |
| ruan | llutz: im unable to access my router :/ my isp locked it | 14:42 |
| mynameisdeleted | vuze is horrible for mem use | 14:42 |
| llutz | ruan: change isp | 14:42 |

| mynameisdeleted | other spec is gigabit ethernet to desktop that has speed-tested at 480mbps | 14:43 |

| secretary_linux | so chroot from usb install stick is still saying there is no /bin/sh, despite that there is a /bin/sh present from the running install image, as well as a /target/bin/sh - how can I troubleshoot this? | 14:44 |
| mynameisdeleted | I'll benchmark against vuze for a linux downlaod | 14:44 |

| timmybobcat14 | I have pasted my /etc/fstab file here:http://paste.ubuntu.com/580587/ | 14:44 |
| Curly_Q | Nsahoo, before you change any files or configurations always first check the hardware to see if the cables were tampered with. Perhaps a circuit breaker or something. Never rule out the obvious. | 14:44 |
| mynameisdeleted | torrent is also limited by drive speed so dling to solid state or raid may speed it up too | 14:44 |

I know I don't have anything new so I'm really hoping someone can give me something to try so I can get some leads here :/ | 14:51 |
| maco | dogarrhea: read pixels? not just hook into the at-spi api that lets screenreaders for the blind work? | 14:51 |

| timmybobcat14 | dajhorn-ok thank you I will do what suggested and hope it works. | 15:01 |
| timmybobcat14 | dajhorn-"scary questions"? | 15:02 |
| Curly_Q | Skutr34, I dont' think it is a good idea to shrink Windows partitions. You may lose data in the process. Windows uses the FAT File Allocation Table to keep track of the disk space and other things. | 15:02 |
| dajhorn | timmybobcat14: After you do the filesystem check, the next step is to `mount /home` and double-check that the $HOME directory exists and that permissions are correct. | 15:02 |
| secretary_linux | Curly_Q: look at it like this, skutr34 might get lucky and lose windows altogether ;) | 15:02 |
| l1st` | Linux LiveCDs can be read in Windows as data folders [assuming they're formatted in FAT32 or some other readable fs], right? | 15:02 |
| Curly_Q | lol | 15:02 |
| dajhorn | timmybobcat14: Questions like "are you really really sure? you can't go back". | 15:02 |
| maco | serpentologist: cnetworkmanager | 15:02 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: well i know how much is being used | 15:02 |
| llutz | l1st`: iso9660 or udf it is | 15:02 |
| beer_brouwer | l1st: jep | 15:02 |
| ruan | l1st`: if it's a liveusb, yes. cds arent fat32 | 15:03 |
| timmybobcat14 | dajhorn-I am not an expert-it's beginning to sound like I'm f*cked and will have to reinstall yet again. MS wins again I fear! | 15:03 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: my linux partition is only 10gb | 15:03 |
| dogarrhea | why does the gcc compiler say "this is not fit to be used for anything" when i type gcc --version? | 15:03 |
| dajhorn | timmybobcat14: Linux is more likely to complain about storage if the computer is flakey. I would backup the Microsoft partitions too. | 15:04 |
| timmybobcat14 | dajhorn-but thanks anyyway buddy. | 15:04 |
| skutr34 | wtf you guys | 15:04 |
| skutr34 | like seriously | 15:04 |
| serpentologist | maco, can't find in 10.04 repo, was it added in the last release? | 15:04 |
| skutr34 | <secretary_linux> Curly_Q: look at it like this, skutr34 might get lucky and lose windows altogether ;) | 15:04 |
| Curly_Q | Skutr34, the next time you install Linux with Windows make sure you use LOGICAL PARTITIONS. This way you will not overlap one OS with the other. | 15:04 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: im not overlapping | 15:04 |
| Pumpkin- | dogarrhea: does it literally say that, or is it the standard "There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE." | 15:05 |
| Curly_Q | Doesn't matter. Logical partitions is the right way to do it. | 15:05 |
| timmybobcat14 | dajhorn- if I had important microsoft files on this computer I would not let ubuntu in a million miles of it! ha ha ha ha. I | 15:05 |
| dogarrhea | pumpkin- same difference. | 15:05 |
| dajhorn | timmybobcat14: +1 you trolled me. | 15:05 |
| llutz | partition type doesn't matter at all | 15:05 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: i have a 220gb windows partition and only 104gb is being used | 15:06 |
| timmybobcat14 | dajhorn-I beg your pardon? | 15:06 |
| Pumpkin- | dogarrhea: almost all free software comes with that. Otherwise you leave yourself open to being sued for giving away software. If you need someone to sue if something goes wrong, go buy a support contract from someone. | 15:06 |
| maco | serpentologist: apparently | 15:06 |
| dajhorn | timmybobcat14: Saying things like that makes it sound like your question wasn't genuine. | 15:06 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: therefore as long as i leave some extra space for windows i should be fine on data | 15:06 |
| Curly_Q | Skutr34, the size of the HD is not the issue. It is better for you to allocate a certain amount of disk space for Windows and Linux. Therefore, logically partitioning the drive is the best way to take advantage of the disk. | 15:07 |
| llutz | skutr34: you should defrag your win-filesystem before | 15:07 |
| dogarrhea | eh. you can be sued for anything. even if you do include that merchantability clause and your program causes grevious damage intentionally | 15:07 |
| dajhorn | timmybobcat14: The command names are different, but the basic procedure to save your /home partition are nearly the same as what you would need to do at the Windows recovery prompt. | 15:07 |
| dogarrhea | and maybe even unintentionally, you're liable | 15:07 |
| ruan | what's the difference between windows i386 and linux i686? | 15:07 |
| llutz | Curly_Q: lvm you mean? | 15:07 |
| joe_9 | what does the file extension ".a" represent. Is that a library? | 15:08 |
| dajhorn | joe_9: .a is a static library. | 15:08 |
| lesshaste | ruan: really? | 15:08 |
| l1st` | ruan: it is a USB drive, yes. I was looking for a way to have a bootable LiveCD and some other Windows utilities at the same time, and XP apparently doesn't like the idea of partitioning a USB drive | 15:08 |
| timmybobcat14 | dajhorn-ha ha ha. Not at all buddy perfectly genuine problem and perfectly genuine comment. But lets not fall out I'll do what you suggested but I'm not an expert or wouldn't be here. Away I go. Thanks and cheers | 15:08 |
| lesshaste | ruan: are you asking the difference between windows and linux? | 15:08 |
| cha0s2358 | ActionParsnip, Hey, You helped me out a while ago with my Canon Mp150 all in one printer. You sent me a link to a resolved issue you were involved in. I'm trying to set the same printer up to a different Ubuntu 10.10 machine but I can't find the bookmark to that link. Do you think you can send it to me again? | 15:08 |
| ruan | lesshaste: no | 15:08 |
| Curly_Q | llutz, anyway you want to look at it. | 15:08 |
| joe_9 | dajhorn, can a static library be included in a C++ application? | 15:08 |
| ruan | lesshaste: im asking the difference between i386 and i686 | 15:08 |
| skutr34 | omg | 15:08 |
| llutz | Curly_Q: i just try to make sense in what you say... | 15:08 |
| dajhorn | joe_9: Yes, usually. | 15:08 |
| skutr34 | so i should just fuck it then, Curly_Q | 15:09 |
| lesshaste | ruan: 32 versus 64 bit? | 15:09 |
| skutr34 | ? | 15:09 |
| ruan | lesshaste: no, im on 32 bit and im on i686 | 15:09 |
| maco | ruan: they're different revisions of the x86 architecture | 15:09 |
| phenom | Any one have any clue on how to troubleshoot a wandering trackpad mouse? I track the mouse to say the left three times,, and it will bounce back a few inches in the opposite direction.. | 15:09 |
| ruan | maco: ah, thanks | 15:09 |
| maco | ruan: i686 has more instructions available for more optimisation | 15:09 |
| Pici | skutr34: Mind your language here please. | 15:09 |
| Curly_Q | llutz, I prefer logical partitioning if the first installation was Windows. LVM if Linux is installed first. | 15:09 |
| MarconM | who is tenting new release ubuntu 11.04 | 15:10 |
| beer_brouwer | phenom: clean it :D | 15:10 |
| Pumpkin- | ruan: different revisions of the x86 instruction set. i386 stuff will run on 386's, i686's will run on P2's (I think). i686 has some more optimal instructions, and so stuff will run better in general with it (unless you want to run it on a P1 or 486 or 386, when it won't run at all) | 15:10 |
| Pici | MarconM: The folks in #ubuntu+1 | 15:10 |
| llutz | Curly_Q: logical partitions (drives inside an extended partition) and LVM are completely different things | 15:10 |
| cha0s2358 | Whats the command to see if a personis active and what chanel they are in? | 15:10 |
| Tw|sT | Sorry about all of the join/quits. I was working on a portable IRC client, working out a few kinks before committing it to disk. All done now. :) | 15:10 |
| phenom | scary,, as soon as I mention it,, it started happening more often.. | 15:10 |
| phenom | Damn commies.. | 15:11 |
| dajhorn | cha0s2358: Start with /whois cha0s2358 | 15:11 |
| cha0s2358 | think you | 15:11 |
| ruan | how do i do a command on connect with irssi? | 15:11 |
| ruan | eg. when i connect to irc.freenode i want to /msg nickserv identify | 15:11 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: i have LVM in fedora..... | 15:11 |
| soreau | ruan: try #irssi | 15:11 |
| bhearsum | i keep hitting this weird issue where many open windows somehow move themselves to a different workspace. for example, Thunderbird was in Workspace 2, and Firefox was in Workspace 4, and they switch places. has anyone ever heard of something like this happening? maybe i'm hitting some secret key combo? | 15:11 |
| Pici | ruan: There are a lot of ways. Best to ask in #irssi | 15:12 |

| Curly_Q | From a Windows perspective logical partitions with Windows is fool proof. Giving up the rest of the disk to Linux works just fine. | 15:12 |
| ruan | llutz: thanks | 15:12 |
| lesshaste | sebastian: polish ubuntu channel? | 15:13 |
| Tw|sT | Curly_Q: Why do you prefer LVM? (just curious) | 15:13 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: i just want to give some space to fedora | 15:13 |
| lesshaste | sebastian: there probably is one if you aren't joking | 15:13 |

| secretary_linux | ok I really don't want to sound like a broken record but is there anything at all I can try to get a working chroot into my broken system from usb stick when I try to chroot and get an error that /bin/sh doesn't exist (meanwhile there is /bin/sh and /target/bin/sh) - I really don't want to be repetitive but I'm out of things to try other than wiping everything and reinstalling... | 15:13 |
| Curly_Q | The best solution is using dual drives dedicated for each OS. | 15:14 |
| ruan | llutz: where is that? | 15:14 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: how would i do that? | 15:14 |
| llutz | Curly_Q: ~/.irssi/config if not, create that part | 15:14 |
| lesshaste | secretary_linux: you need a forum or mailing list if you don't get a good answer on irc | 15:14 |
| sebastian | dedicated drivers are an alternative | 15:14 |
| llutz | ruan: ^^ sry | 15:14 |
| Pici | ruan: You shouldn't be modyifying your irssi config manually. #irssi can tell you the right way to change that setting. | 15:14 |
| secretary_linux | lesshaste: true, but there's no time for something like that, I'd have to go nuclear first | 15:14 |
| soreau | ! chroot | secretary_linux | 15:14 |
| ubottu | secretary_linux: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 15:14 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: Double-check that the chroot and the LiveCD or LiveUSB are both 32-bit or both-64 bit. | 15:14 |
| lesshaste | secretary_linux: no time == has to be done in an hour? | 15:14 |
| Curly_Q | Buy another hard drive. | 15:14 |
| ruan | ok | 15:14 |
| secretary_linux | unfortunately the ! chroot guide doesn't help me | 15:14 |
| secretary_linux | lesshaste: that would be ideal | 15:14 |
| secretary_linux | lesshaste: system has been down since yesterday | 15:15 |
| lesshaste | sorry to hear it | 15:15 |
| darreo | http://pastebin.com/NRKSZx6V | 15:15 |
| lesshaste | try #linux too | 15:15 |
| lesshaste | secretary_linux: ^^ | 15:15 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: thanks, someone caught me on that earlier :) they are both 64 bit now | 15:15 |
| darreo | im having a slight problem mounting an old jfs partition on 10.10 | 15:15 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: Do you know how the chroot target got trashed? Filesystem problem? Bad upgrade? | 15:15 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: im on a laptop so would it be ok to run one of the os's on an external harddrive? | 15:16 |
| Tw|sT | For dual booting, the best solution I've found is combine a USB hard drive with a motherboard that supports USB-boot. I then install Windows into the on-system drive, and install Ubuntu to the USB drive. This eliminates needing to install Grub to the system. Instead, install it to the USB drive. I have 2 different solutions like this, one is running from a 16GB Sandisk Flash drive... | 15:16 |
| === sysadmin is now known as Guest19107 | ||
| Curly_Q | Skutr34, you can install two hard drives on your laptop. I have done it. | 15:16 |
| Tw|sT | while the other is installed on the first 40GB of a 120GB USB hard drive (single cable type). | 15:16 |
| cha0s2358 | how do i ping someone? | 15:16 |
| ironfoot495 | Hello I'm looking for a software to control the broadcasting video shows and and advertisment on an ubuntu server . Can someone tell me if there is a program like that for linux use? | 15:16 |
| Curly_Q | Then it all depends on the Real Estate of your laptop though. | 15:16 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: i dont want to open the laptop though.... would an external work? | 15:17 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: yes, rsnapshot left a lot of hard links to all files on the system and when I tried to remove them, rm -r actually followed the links and deleted all the files on the system. I copied stuff from a good backup, but I can't boot because the backup is from before a kernel upgrade last week | 15:17 |
| beer_brouwer | ch0s: ping <IP> | 15:17 |
| Curly_Q | You can slave a second hard drive. | 15:17 |
| === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su | ||
| Curly_Q | Sure use a USB external. | 15:17 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: and when I say it deleted all files on the system, I mean it tried to until I stopped it after a few miserable seconds | 15:17 |
| cha0s2358 | ActionParsnip, You here man? | 15:17 |
| beer_brouwer | cha0s: or ping www.example.com | 15:18 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: also would i have to reinstall linux to move it to the external? | 15:18 |
| Curly_Q | Keep in mind that if you boot up you need to go into the BIOS and set the boot sequence for what you want to boot up first. | 15:18 |
| cha0s2358 | beer_brouwer, thank you | 15:18 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: Does this command succeed? chroot /busted/system /sbin/ldconfig -v | 15:18 |
| Curly_Q | You can dual boot with a USB installation. | 15:18 |
| Tw|sT | yup, all day. | 15:19 |
| Curly_Q | That is if your BIOS is setup for it. | 15:19 |
| Tw|sT | :) | 15:19 |
| Tw|sT | right | 15:19 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: would i have to reinstall linux to move it to the external drive> | 15:19 |
| skutr34 | ? | 15:19 |
| Curly_Q | You can Dual boot with a 64 gig memory stick. Put it in your pocket and you have a Linux server and Windows to go. hehe | 15:19 |
| llutz | skutr34: its no problem to have linux on the same disk as windows, you should defrag your win-filesystem before you try to shrink your win-partitions and make sure to backup your data | 15:19 |
| Curly_Q | Skutr34 yes. | 15:19 |
| skutr34 | llutz: well i like the idea of having it on another harddrive hough | 15:20 |
| Curly_Q | I call it Linux on a stick. hehe | 15:20 |
| skutr34 | lol | 15:20 |
| llutz | skutr34: not very handy for a laptop (imho) | 15:20 |
| Tw|sT | most likely anyways, unless you wanna go about things the hard way. It's best to reinstall anyway to optimize the system to the new storage medium. | 15:20 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: fails. I tried "chroot /target /sbin/ldconfig -v" getting basically same error as before. there is, in fact, no /sbin/ldconfig in the install environment, so I tried "chroot /target /target/sbin/ldconfig -v" and got the same thing (there is a /target/sbin/ldconfig) | 15:20 |
| darreo | fixed my problem, ran a fsck on /dev/sda4 | 15:21 |
| Curly_Q | Skutr34 use a 64 gig memory stick to install Linux on. | 15:21 |
| skypce | hi | 15:21 |
| darreo | now it reads without a problem | 15:21 |
| nebular | I'm having a weird issue with openVPN and networkmanager. It no longer sets the default gateway and so unless I add it manually I can only connect to compuers on the local network | 15:21 |
| skutr34 | llutz: ik but if i shrink windows im only going to be able to give it 30 or so gigs | 15:21 |
| === jrn_ is now known as jrn_a | ||
| secretary_linux | nebular: default gateway with openvpn is a server, not client setting | 15:21 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: not a bad idea | 15:21 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: Your backup is probably incomplete. Perhaps the `rm -r` deleted some system libraries. | 15:22 |
| cha0s2358 | ActionParsnip, | 15:22 |
| Tw|sT | 16GB at very minimum to be useful. I've done USB stick installs to 4GB drives, but they are very small and minimally capable. | 15:22 |
| llutz | skutr34: should be fine, store your data on the win-partition. writing ntfs is no problem | 15:22 |
| skypce | i have a compiled kernel with acpi modules included, when i shutdown the machine it doesnt shutdown what can i do? | 15:22 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: how can I determine what they are? and best I can tell, the backup is actually complete | 15:22 |
| nebular | secretary_linux: Yes, however openVPN works fine when I boot into linux or on my phone running android 2.3 | 15:22 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: if I could chroot in, I would try to do some apt-get repairs | 15:22 |
| skutr34 | llutz: i dont understand | 15:22 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: That would be a lot of work. A quicker solution would be to reinstall every package on the broken system. | 15:22 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: those things are like 100 dollars | 15:22 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: yes that's also my inclination but I'm not sure the best way to approach it | 15:22 |
| nebular | so my sever is sending the proper gateway, network manager isn't applying it | 15:22 |
| Curly_Q | You can install VMware on a memory stick with Windows, Linux, Apple or anything. | 15:23 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: First, get a list of every package on the system. dpkg --root=/busted/system --get-selections | cut -f1 -d ' ' | 15:23 |
| === phidelt82_ is now known as phidelt82 | ||
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: ok that's gold, I'm doing it now | 15:23 |
| nebular | so I'm at a loss as to what happened to nework manager. | 15:23 |
| llutz | skutr34: if you need more space, store parts of your data (music/photos/videos) on windows-partition from linux. so you won't need more than those 30GB linux | 15:23 |
| elHannos | Howdy again. Is 'upstart' the exclusive init controlling process or are there still parts from SysVinit around in 10.10 ? | 15:23 |

| secretary_linux | dajhorn: there's actually no dpkg in the damn install environment... | 15:24 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: it would be cheaper to buy an external drive | 15:24 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: Okay, the system is hosed. | 15:24 |
| skutr34 | llutz: yeah i already do that | 15:24 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: Wait... | 15:24 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: well that's the install image, there is a dpkg in the broken system | 15:24 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: Don't run that in the chroot. dpkg and apt need to be in the recovery environment. | 15:25 |
| genii-around | elHannos: upstart uses /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf to call the old-style scripts in /etc/init.d | 15:25 |
| === bxl4074 is now known as spivoler | ||
| Curly_Q | Skutr34 the reason I mentioned memory stick is because your laptop is portable. Which means to carry a separate external hard drive is not the way to go. Put the memory stick in your pocket instead. Does that sound reasonable? | 15:25 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: lol ill ask my parents (hint, hint | 15:25 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: ik | 15:25 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: I know, I can't get into a chroot anyway :) when I tried doing what you said using /target/usr/bin/dpkg, I get "error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" | 15:25 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: i just dont want to spend 100 dollars on something i already have in my pants xD | 15:25 |
| Curly_Q | Yeah dear old dad and mom. :) | 15:25 |
| elHannos | genii-around: So rc-sysinit.conf is another upstart-'job'. | 15:26 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: i apologize :) | 15:26 |
| Curly_Q | :) | 15:26 |
| david__ | ; | 15:26 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: ok so for now i think ill shrink windows a bit until i can get something like a shtick or an external drive | 15:27 |
| genii-around | elHannos: As far as I can tell. But you can still call the old sysvinit stuff through it by name like sudo service old-sysvinit-name restart | 15:27 |
| Curly_Q | Skutr34, before you shrink any data, make sure you back up. | 15:27 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: lol god i hate backups | 15:27 |
| Curly_Q | Guess what? Welcome to the club. | 15:27 |
| skutr34 | Curly_Q: but i gotta go thanks for the help, and yeah lol | 15:27 |
| Curly_Q | OK Skutr34, nice to meet you. | 15:28 |

| Pici | vladimiroff: I personally think after the next LTS, but thats just my opinion. | 15:33 |
| Curly_Q | CMOT-Weasel check this interesting reading: http://kerneltrap.org/node/3202 | 15:34 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: dpkg needs to run from the Live environment. It sounds like you have more than one problem. | 15:35 |
| Curly_Q | CMOT-Weasel, if you have that much RAM why not for the sake of argument disable SWAP and see for yourself. | 15:36 |
| vladimiroff | Pici: okay. thanks for it :) | 15:36 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: ok, well maybe that part is a simple matter. it seems the ubuntu live environment should include dpkg somewhere and not depend on having a broken system around somewhere | 15:36 |
| aeon-ltd | CMOT-Weasel: there is a setting 'swappiness' google it, that determines when to swap | 15:37 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: The Live CD certainly has it. Maybe try that. | 15:37 |
| lojack | Hello. Can anyone tell me how I can disable (prevent) swap partition from being accessed and mounted during the boot process? Adding noswap as boot parameter isn't working. | 15:37 |
| Curly_Q | CMOT-Weasel, keep in mind that if you have two RAM modules and one is faster than the other, the speed of the RAM will only be that of the slowest RAM. | 15:37 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: this is the server amd64 install image... that's basically what I've got to work with. I'll poke around and see if it's there someplace... | 15:38 |
| Curly_Q | Many people make the mistake of buying a fast secondary RAM chip when there is another really slow RAM chip on board. | 15:38 |
| Curly_Q | Remove the slowest RAM module. | 15:39 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: if I can remember the important services I need to reinstall, is there any reason I can't just reinstall the system overtop (without formatting!) without knowing every installed package? | 15:39 |
| Curly_Q | Always put in matching RAM modules. | 15:39 |
| === Dink[a] is now known as Dink | ||
| Curly_Q | CMOT-Weasel, also try making the SWAP file the same size as the RAM you have. See what happens. | 15:45 |
| dr0id | i have an old laptop, will ubuntu 10.10 work on it ? currently i am running 9.04 , it has 1gb ram, 200gb HDD and core2duo | 15:45 |

| llutz | dr0id: it should | 15:46 |
| Curly_Q | CMOT-Weasel, when I ran Red Hat 9 I had a separate hard drive mounted just for SWAP. It worked very fast. | 15:46 |
| aeon-ltd | dr0id: dude thats not 'old' :) | 15:46 |
| Guest24568 | ok so i have a hard drive with ubuntu and windows xp partitions, using grub2 its loading ubuntu by default. Im adding a hard drive and installing windows 7 to it, what do i need to do to get wnidows 7 added to the bootloader on the ubuntu/xp drive? | 15:46 |
| === Guest24568 is now known as ScottO_ | ||
| dr0id | aeon-ltd: well, it is 5 years old and last time i tried to upgrade to 9.10 and failed | 15:46 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: You will lose most of your /etc/customization if you clobber the system. | 15:46 |
| dr0id | so whats the best way to upgrade to 10.10 pls ? | 15:46 |
| ScottO_ | do i just update grub? | 15:46 |
| erUSUL | !upgrade | dr0id | 15:46 |
| ubottu | dr0id: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 15:46 |
| dr0id | thank you | 15:47 |
| llutz | dr0id: backup your data and do a fresh install | 15:47 |
| secretary_linux | so, I want to reinstall ubuntu over top of a broken system without formatting or unnecessarily deleting any files. what's the best way to do this? the installer seems to not want to let me proceed to installation without partitioning first | 15:47 |
| dr0id | ok., thanks | 15:47 |
| dr0id | llutz: home and /var/www is all i need to back i guess :) | 15:47 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: oops didn't see your last message. yes, I can back up my /etc and selectively put it back in without a problem | 15:47 |
| _crash_ | lol | 15:47 |
| _crash_ | I just crashed ubuntu | 15:47 |
| dr0id | lol | 15:47 |
| Curly_Q | Using a separate hard drive for SWAP reduces latency. | 15:47 |
| ScottO_ | anyone? | 15:47 |
| llutz | dr0id: depends... i like to have /etc backed up too and a list of installed packages | 15:48 |
| _crash_ | I was listening music in Audacious and then I opened a video in Firefox and it crashed | 15:48 |
| aeon-ltd | secretary_linux: you can't, you have to partition to make space for a fresh system. if you have a usb stick why don't you boot into a live environment rescue files you need then install ubuntu? | 15:48 |
| _crash_ | :D | 15:48 |
| _crash_ | first time this happens | 15:48 |
| dr0id | ok | 15:48 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: If you have a full backup, and if you don't mind doing an overlay, then I would do a fresh install. Anything that broke your system libraries probably caused latent damage elsewhere. | 15:48 |
| secretary_linux | aeon-ltd: because there is no usb stick large enough to hold user files from this system and /home is not a separate partition | 15:48 |
| _crash_ | I should be Ubuntu tester hehe | 15:49 |
| _crash_ | later | 15:49 |
| secretary_linux | come on, there's gotta be a way to try it at least. | 15:49 |
| Curly_Q | Secretary linux, I have a 64 gig memory stick. I use it for the kernel and you can mount a separate drive for the data files and more. | 15:50 |
| secretary_linux | Curly_Q: good for you ;) | 15:50 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: A manual `debootstrap` will keep your /home intact, but this some work. The alternate installer will let you skip the format step, but you need to be extra cautious. | 15:51 |
| Curly_Q | Kingston makes a good flash drive. | 15:51 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: what do you mean by extra cautious? | 15:51 |
| dee01 | hi. i got 10.10 and i encrypted my /home . now i cannot connect via ssh to a server anymore. there is always a password prompt. any hints? | 15:52 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: You need to cancel the install at the disk partitioning step, click back to get to the installation task menu, and then click the right post-partitioning step. If you just mash the <enter> key, then you'll overwrite the existing system. | 15:52 |
| ScottO_ | ok so i have a hard drive with ubuntu and windows xp partitions, using grub2 its loading ubuntu by default. Im adding a hard drive and installing windows 7 to it, what do i need to do to get wnidows 7 added to the bootloader on the ubuntu/xp drive? | 15:52 |
| gfs | hi,all.which free vpn's faster in American? | 15:53 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: that seems to jump me back into the partitioner. how do I get into the alternate installer? | 15:53 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: The Ubuntu alternate installer looks like the classic white-on-blue Debian installer. It will be family if you've used Debian. | 15:53 |
| Curly_Q | Gfx x11VPN seems to work OK. Works with SSH. | 15:53 |
| beer_brouwer | dee01: pasword prompt is normal with ssh, except you saved your puclic key on the server you want to connect to | 15:53 |
| ScottO_ | gfs: trying to torrent? | 15:54 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: I think the "alternate" installer you speak of might be the default on the server edition? | 15:54 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: Yes, potentially. | 15:54 |
| dee01 | beer_brouwer: the public key is on a server. yes. | 15:54 |
| gfs | oh,i'm going try | 15:54 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: if that's the case though it's still not letting me bypass that step | 15:54 |
| dajhorn | secretary_linux: Ubuntu publishes the regular -desktop iso, but you need the -alternate iso. | 15:54 |
| beer_brouwer | dee01: then I'm afraid I can't help you | 15:54 |

| bastidrazor | ua: uninstall older kernels. in synaptic search for "linux-image" | 15:58 |
| secretary_linux | dajhorn: you know something I could try would be backing up /etc and /var, deleting everything except /home, and then doing this reinstall without format overtop. that would eliminate any fucked up system remnants | 15:58 |
| === herton_ is now known as herton | ||
| Curly_Q | Seyacat, if all of the access points use the same hardware, I don't see any difference. | 16:00 |
| Curly_Q | It all depends upon how many people at one given time are occupying the access point. You can html into the router and see who is logged in. | 16:00 |
| Curly_Q | Type in: http://192.168.0.1 | 16:01 |

| llutz | dr0id: man -k ruby | 16:03 |
| Curly_Q | Seyacat then you didn't specify your question then. Explain. | 16:03 |
| dajhorn | milind: That behavior is by convention. It isn't automatic. The person that created myfolder.tgz forgot to include the myfolder/ prefix. | 16:03 |
| dr0id | llutz: shows me ruby1.9 , but when i do man ruby1.9 i shows an error | 16:03 |

| CMOT-Weasel | 15:36 #ubuntu: < Curly_Q> CMOT-Weasel, if you have that much RAM why not for the sake of argument disable SWAP and see for yourself. | 16:07 |
| secretary_linux | so can anyone confirm that there is absolutely no way in the ubuntu server installer to select mountpoints without formatting partitions? | 16:07 |
| CMOT-Weasel | Only got 1.5Gb, it regularly uses swap | 16:07 |
| CMOT-Weasel | swap is set up correctly, it's just not moving from swap back to RAM | 16:07 |
| CMOT-Weasel | It's a laptop with a 1.8" 4200RPM HDD so swap is pretty slow! | 16:08 |
| sipior | dr0id: have you recently uninstalled or upgraded the ruby package? also, which version of ubuntu are you running? | 16:08 |
| cha0s2358 | ActionParsnip, you here? | 16:08 |
| dajhorn | CMOT-Weasel: Linux swap is somewhat aggressive. It will pre-fill the swap even if it doesn't immediately need to. | 16:09 |
| secretary_linux | let me ask this question another way: if all my partitions are mounted and set as "do not use" in manual partitioning, what will happen when i click "write changes to disk"? will they be formatted anyway? will that let me get out of this loop where when I go to the menu and hit the install option, I'm jumped back into partitioning? | 16:09 |

| Stevethepirate | Hi, I have an old 10.04 box, but I'd like to just update 1 package from the latest version (bnetd). Is this possible? | 16:10 |
| CMOT-Weasel | dajhorn: Fair play, anything I can really do about it? | 16:10 |
| sipior | secretary_linux: they won't be formatted. but of course then there's nowhere to install to... | 16:10 |
| secretary_linux | sipior: hmmm, but how can I select mountpoints without formatting? | 16:11 |
| ruan | Stevethepirate: yes, if the latest version of bnetd is on 10.04(lucid) | 16:11 |
| ruan | repos^ | 16:11 |
| dajhorn | CMOT-Weasel: I disable swap on computers with 1GB+ of memory unless I want to hibernate the computer. | 16:11 |
| Stevethepirate | ruan: But thats what I am saying | 16:11 |
| sipior | secretary_linux: my recollection is that there is a separate format checkbox, but it has been a while. | 16:11 |
| sacarlson | secretary_linux: that sounds like it should work. as long as you provide one unused partition at install ubuntu should guess that's where you want to install it | 16:11 |
| Stevethepirate | I presume there is an update in the 10.10 (because some clients cannot connect to my server) | 16:12 |
| Stevethepirate | So I assume there was an update of sorts. | 16:12 |
| dajhorn | CMOT-Weasel: Personally, for a workstation, I prefer the oom killer over a slow swap. | 16:12 |
| secretary_linux | sacarlson: that's not at all what i want to do though | 16:12 |
| dajhorn | CMOT-Weasel: You can do the same thing by changing the swappiness variables. | 16:12 |
| ruan | Stevethepirate: is there an update in update manger? | 16:12 |
| sacarlson | secretary_linux: you don't want to install? | 16:12 |
| secretary_linux | sacarlson: well, maybe it is... the partitions aren't "unused" per se, I just want to reinstall over top of an existing partition. I guess the installer does see it as "unused" | 16:13 |

| he_ | not really,first time come here | 16:14 |

| sacarlson | nishant: nishant you will need a compiler and header so install http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=build-essential | 16:34 |
| herpaderp | i'm not sure on the syntax for tail, all i can manage is to list the last two lines | 16:34 |
| nishant | I have gcc installed , do I need more sacarlson | 16:34 |
| donnib | hi, i am struggling with a NAS that i want to mount a share in my ubuntu install, i tried NFS ans CIFS and have problems with them, with NFS i can mount but i see a lock icon on all folders, with CIFS i get Permission denied when mounting, the NFS does not require password, it's a Netgear NAS if that makes a difference | 16:34 |
| Fuchs | tail -n <number of lines>. Same for head. | 16:35 |
| herpaderp | or rather "head -n 4 file && tail -n 2 file"? | 16:35 |
| Fuchs | you can as well read the manual of them with man tail or man head | 16:35 |
| sacarlson | nishant: you always need more but I'm not sure what kind of software you want to write like gui? | 16:35 |
| donnib | i hope that somebody can help me or point me in the right direction, i feel i have tried alot of things without success | 16:35 |
| nishant | sacarlson, no learning the basic file handling etc | 16:35 |
| compdoc | cifs is easy enough to set permissions | 16:36 |
| moller | ill read thx | 16:36 |
| donnib | when using sudo mount which UID is used ? the root or the user currently logged in ? | 16:36 |

| donnib | llutz: thx, will try, first i need to get mount to work manually then ill have to move to fstab | 16:41 |

| eviljames | victorhugo289: Provided that you actually want to bind-mount, yes. | 16:49 |

| llutz | victorhugo289: define "safe" it works and is commonly used | 16:50 |
| bastidrazor | wmp: i suppose i misunderstood your fragmented statement. | 16:50 |
| eviljames | victorhugo289: mount --bind = take folder /a and have it also at /some/place/a | 16:50 |
| donnib | sacarlson: yes i did and i get permission denied | 16:50 |
| donnib | i pressume it's a problem with the UID | 16:50 |
| sacarlson | donnib: with sudo ? | 16:50 |
| victorhugo289 | I ask this because I've noticed that the folders so mounted don't have a working trash bin, that is: the trash bin doens't work in folders mouted with bind | 16:50 |

| Jonta_ | What's a good way of asking a generic question about "Different ways of using(accesing) a feature of a computer program (i.e. hotkey and button and pie-menu and direct textinput etc."? | 17:24 |
| mix22891 | helooooooooo | 17:25 |
| Jonta_ | It's a challenge to summarize it all in a thread-topic or similar | 17:25 |
| Jonta_ | mix22891: Hi there | 17:25 |
| c_nick | I am developing an application on iOS in Xcode. is there a way i can port it all to Ubuntu ? :) | 17:25 |
| mix22891 | Jonta! how's you | 17:25 |
| mix22891 | :) | 17:25 |
| AbismoNegro | hi. i have problems installing the internet explorer using wine. when i try to install the ie packages the following message shows up: 43% IE_S1.CAB!! An error ocurred when downloading. Please run IEs4Linux again. Corrupted file: ie6/EN-US/IE_S1.CAB | 17:25 |
| Jonta_ | mix22891: Good. Trying to find an answer to my question. How about you? | 17:25 |
| mix22891 | wanna go for dinner? | 17:26 |
| IdleOne | !ot | mix22891 | 17:26 |
| c_nick | basically all i need is Xcode and the emulator and iOS SDK | 17:26 |
| ubottu | mix22891: #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! | 17:26 |
| Jonta_ | Depends on where you live | 17:26 |
| mix22891 | what is your number girl | 17:26 |
| IdleOne | AbismoNegro: ask in #winehq for help with wine | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | AbismoNegro, sounds like a bad download file to me. You may want to check the ies4linux homepage/thread/docs. | 17:26 |
| MSU_Student55 | Hey, I had a question about installing Ubuntu on Virtual PC for Windows 7 | 17:26 |
| Jonta_ | mix22891: /msg-ed | 17:26 |
| BluesKaj | !IE | AbismoNegro | 17:26 |
| ubottu | AbismoNegro: For Irish ubuntu support, visit #ubuntu-ie, agus tá uisce beatha agus cuidiú Ubuntu isteach an #ubuntu-ie, Béag fáilte ort! | 17:26 |
| mix22891 | msg' who? | 17:26 |
| tyreza | $ /etc/init.d/network restart and /etc/init.d/apache reload : how to script this things ? | 17:27 |
| BluesKaj | hehe , wrong script ubottu | 17:27 |
| Jonta_ | mix22891: You of course | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | tyreza, Huh? Youmay want to learn to use the 'service' command also... | 17:27 |
| MSU_Student55 | I've set up the Virtual Machine to use a Virtual HD dynamically maintained by Windows | 17:27 |
| MSU_Student55 | during the installation Ubuntu requests to create a partition | 17:27 |
| tyreza | Yes | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | tyreza - clarify what you are trying to do. | 17:28 |
| BluesKaj | AbismoNegro, why IE , you can run FF as IE on certain websites | 17:28 |
| AbismoNegro | <BluesKaj> i know ie sucks but unfortunately the following website which is for my university just works with ie. | 17:28 |
| MSU_Student55 | I'm confused if this is actually going to attempt to repartition my actual HD, or just the virtual HD Windows created | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | MSU_Student55, it would be the virtual hard drive. | 17:28 |
| AbismoNegro | <BluesKaj>by the way i prefer opera over all of them | 17:28 |
| tyreza | i simply wanna know : how to /etc/init.d/networking restart and /etc/init.d/apache reload | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | MSHughes, its gernally NOT a good idea to use a virtual machine to access a real hard drive.. | 17:29 |
| AbismoNegro | thank you guys . i'll try | 17:29 |
| tyreza | i simply want to run that two command at same time | 17:29 |
| tyreza | how to do ? | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | tyreza, if you restart it.. it does reload... | 17:29 |
| MSU_Student55 | Dr_Willis, if I go through the guided partition and select to use all of the space available, my PC will be fine? | 17:29 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | tyreza Oh. You want some bash basics lessons... | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | abis yes I like opera too, but it doesn't run too well on natty | 17:29 |
| dryicebomb | tyreza /etc/init.d/networking restart && /etc/init.d/apache reload | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | MSU_Student55, it should be using the virtual disks... check your VM machineds docs... | 17:30 |
| ruan | are there mouse macroing programs for ubuntu? if not, will mouse macroing programs work on wine? | 17:30 |
| tyreza | you have to learn first the linux basics lesson Dr_Willis_TCL | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ruan, there are some out for Linux/ubuntu. and No i havent used them | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | tyreza, time to get reading then. | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | !manual | tyreza | 17:30 |
| ubottu | tyreza: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 17:30 |
| tyreza | thanks dryicebomb that's what i m thing but how to script that one ? dryicebomb | 17:30 |
| ruan | Dr_Willis_TCL: are there any in the repos? i've looked but nothing related to 'macro' | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ruan, i dont use them.. ive seen them mentioned. xmacro perhaps.. i cant recall names. | 17:31 |
| wavez | could anyone recommend a media player? Totem movie player seems pretty crappy. | 17:31 |
| llutz | tyreza: write that line into a file, make it executable, script done | 17:31 |
| tyreza | ok let me check | 17:31 |
| elHannos | wavez: yep it is. I like vlc. | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | wavez, vlc, mplayer and its variants, xbmc, boxee, and proberly 4+ oters. | 17:31 |
| elHannos | wavez: ...and mplayer of course | 17:32 |
| === nick is now known as Guest19787 | ||
| ruan | is there any media player which allows buffer configuration? | 17:32 |
| ruan | mainly size | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ruan, vlc and mplayer have more settings then you can even imagine. | 17:32 |
| elHannos | ruan: vlc also | 17:32 |
| ruan | i'll check vlc | 17:33 |
| llutz | PeaceMaker: /lib/ufw/rules[6].rules | 17:33 |
| elHannos | ruan: mplayer also | 17:33 |
| wavez | alright, thanks guys | 17:34 |
| donnib | is it possible to specify uid for an NFS share ? | 17:35 |
| ariel__ | hi people! i'm not able no configure ubuntu to recognize my internal microphone (im using a dell laptop), some help please? | 17:36 |
| PeaceMaker | llut, got it /lib/ufw/user.rules | 17:37 |
| mix22891 | ariel from israel? | 17:37 |
| PeaceMaker | Thanks, | 17:37 |
| sipior | donnib: no, specifying a uid won't make any sense in that case. | 17:38 |
| donnib | sipior: what about an username ? | 17:38 |
| PeaceMaker | llut, thanks. | 17:38 |
| sipior | donnib: no difference. | 17:38 |
| donnib | sipior: so when i get a access denied by server | 17:39 |
| sipior | donnib: either the server or the client is configured badly. | 17:39 |
| donnib | sipior: hmm....i don't have a password on the NAS so what else can it be ? | 17:40 |
| will_ | Is there a way to change the default video accelleration to XAA? | 17:40 |
| gimpy4685 | So, with Ubuntu "editions" like the server edition going awya, does that mean 11.04 will let yuou choose to install a GUI or not? Will it let you make custom LVM layouts like the server edition does? | 17:40 |
| donnib | sipior: i do mount -t nfs 192.168.1.55:uTorrent /media/uTorrentNFS | 17:40 |
| cry | y0 | 17:40 |
| deucep | gimpy4685: I hope so | 17:41 |
| Pumpkin- | donnib: I think what you might want, is some kind of UID mapping. Do "man 5 exports" and search for the various "map" options ? | 17:41 |
| sipior | donnib: is the server configured to permit access from your machine? | 17:41 |
| gimpy4685 | deucep: If not then I just built my last Ubuntu box forever last week... | 17:41 |
| donnib | sipior: the server is not set to restrict anybody if that's what you ask | 17:41 |
| sipior | donnib: the question is whether it *permits* anybody. | 17:42 |
| donnib | sipior: yes it does | 17:42 |
| sipior | donnib: you've verified that on another machine? | 17:42 |
| === nick_ is now known as Guest63400 | ||
| Dr_Willis_TCL | gimpy4685, i think the editions will mean the desktop/netbook editions are going away. sicne they will be using the same interface. | 17:42 |
| donnib | sipior: no, i can't because then ill have to do mount as well | 17:42 |
| sipior | donnib: uh, what? | 17:42 |
| BajK | I have /dev/sdb and I want to partition it ant format it with ext4, i.e. create a /dev/sdb1 and format it. with console | 17:42 |
| donnib | sipior: i mean how would i try it ? i have a mac but i have not tried to do mount on that one | 17:43 |
| elHannos | donnib: do you have access to log-files on this server? | 17:43 |
| sipior | donnib: so when you said "yes it does"... | 17:43 |
| donnib | elHannos: where do i find that ? | 17:43 |
| elHannos | donnib: depends on the OS/Brand your server is running... | 17:44 |
| donnib | sipior: it's something i believe it is, of course i cannot know for sure, i have looked thru the settings of the NAS and i can't find something that indicates that | 17:44 |
| donnib | elHannos: ohh you mean on the NAS | 17:44 |
| elHannos | donnib: yep | 17:44 |
| donnib | elHannos: no, i don't i assume there is if i enable some settings or i access it thru SSH | 17:45 |
| llutz | BajK: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/IBM7248-HOWTO/cfdisk.html to create a partition. sudo mkfs.ext -m0 /dev/sdb1 to create filesystem | 17:45 |

| netcitizen | How to install this gnome theme http://danoex.deviantart.com/#/d3b5s7t | 17:45 |
| MnCC | when 11.04 comes out, do i need to reinstall or does update manager come with a bunch of updates ? | 17:45 |
| elHannos | donnib: sry, didn't understand your second-last sentence | 17:45 |
| BajK | llutz: hm I need to crate a partiton table, is this possible with parted? | 17:45 |
| donnib | elHannos: i am just saying that i don't have logs on the NFS server | 17:46 |
| BajK | got it | 17:46 |
| elHannos | donnib: ;) k... | 17:46 |
| netcitizen | Can someone tell how to install this theme ? here http://danoex.deviantart.com/#/d3b5s7t am using ubuntu 10.10 | 17:47 |
| donnib | elHannos: actually that was not true, i just found this [2011/03/15 18:45:01, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(319) | 17:48 |
| donnib | check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [nobody] -> [nobody] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER | 17:48 |
| donnib | sorry i should have used pastebin | 17:48 |
| donnib | this indicates that when i mount with NFS it mounts with empty username which it's wrong | 17:48 |
| donnib | that's why i asked if there is a way to specify an username | 17:49 |
| LtHummus | is there anyone that can help with my lirc issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1706398 | 17:50 |
| sipior | donnib: what does the documentation for the NAS say? | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | donnib: use the file -> network item | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | donnib: you can add a username there | 17:50 |
| donnib | ActionParsnip: ? | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | donnib: in nautilus, there is a file menu, in the file menu there is a network item | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | donnib: you can specify username there | 17:51 |
| donnib | ActionParsnip: not sure where that is ? in System ? | 17:52 |
| tyreza | hi | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | explore the menus. :) look for a network item. It may be in your native language. | 17:52 |
| donnib | sipior: they don't specify how to mount the nas from ubuntu with NFS | 17:52 |
| wtbtr | I am trying to create a usb version of the networkinstall iso image. I am using "startup disk creator". Somehow I cannot select the iso image. Any suggestions? | 17:53 |
| tyreza | php script can be used for linux script ? | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | donnib, they state its a NFS server? Often the things have a web interface that lets you configure them. | 17:53 |
| sipior | donnib: which NAS are you using? | 17:53 |
| donnib | sipior: Netgear Readuynas NV+ | 17:53 |
| donnib | Readynas | 17:53 |
| donnib | Dr_Willis_TCL: yes i know that, i am using that one | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | wtbtr, not all of those images work as a usb disk. No idea if the networkinstall iso does.. Theres always the various tools at the pendrivelinux web site also. | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | wtbtr: try unetbootin | 17:55 |
| sipior | donnib: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=5737&view=previous | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | donnib: click places -> home folder | 17:55 |
| ActionParsnip | donnib: the file browser is called nautilus | 17:55 |
| eviljames | Is there perhaps a Ubuntu advanced channel of sorts? | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | eviljames, not that ive ever noticed. | 17:56 |
| opalfroot | is there a bug changing permissions on ntfs drives ? | 17:56 |
| donnib | sipior: Places -> Home folder ? on the web interface ? | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | theres the ubuntu-server channel and kubuntu and a few others.. | 17:56 |
| looonger | internet explorer 9 has been released but no deb for ubuntu yet? | 17:56 |
| sipior | donnib: one imagines so. | 17:56 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | opalfroot, otehr then the fact that you cant.. :) you select the permissions as mount options.. | 17:57 |
| eviljames | Dr_Willis_TCL: This is unfortunate. Know anyone who knows anything about lvm/ubuntu combinations? | 17:57 |
| micro__ | Guys at you opens??? http://pic4you.ru/10376/760457/ | 17:57 |
| eviljames | Trying to get a good way to go about troubleshooting what I see as a weird issue. | 17:57 |
| opalfroot | dr_willis, I have it mounted as read write but still nada | 17:57 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | eviljames, nope. i dont use lvm, or raid. to many hassles. | 17:57 |
| llutz | micro__: stop that spam! | 17:57 |
| ActionParsnip | donnib: no, on your desktop | 17:57 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | opalfroot, check the ownership. and uid/gid options. | 17:57 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | opalfroot, and the umask option. | 17:58 |
| opalfroot | yup both set to me | 17:58 |
| opalfroot | unmask ? | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | umask = selexcts the default modes. | 17:58 |
| opalfroot | ok will check | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | opalfroot, you are mounting it by hand? or letting gnome auto mount it on access? | 17:58 |
| === int3nz0r is now known as int3nz0r`afk | ||
| opalfroot | gnome auto | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | opalfroot, you may want to install/run the ntfs-config tool,. OR set it up to mount how you want in fstab. | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ntfs-config tool was a little flakey last i used it. | 17:59 |
| opalfroot | k will check out ntfs-config | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | it worked.. but wouldent close. :) | 17:59 |

| Dr_Willis_TCL | tyreza, clarify what you mean.. | 18:01 |
| opalfroot | deucap sure | 18:01 |
| tyreza | i got a script to connect to ssh | 18:01 |
| tyreza | i need a script | 18:01 |
| tyreza | i need a script | 18:01 |
| opalfroot | deucep you need to setup samba users | 18:01 |
| * Dr_Willis_TCL waits for some actual details... | 18:01 | |
| tyreza | i need an other script to restart networks | 18:02 |
| opalfroot | using the smbpasswd utility | 18:02 |
| opalfroot | that allows them to log in | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ssh can run a remote command. its a feature of ssh. | 18:02 |
| tyreza | so what i have to call my ssh connect ? | 18:02 |
| opalfroot | then you assign them to groups etc - which follows the permissions of the file system unless otherwise stated | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | !ssh | 18:02 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 18:02 |

| tyreza | Dr_Willis_TCL: you don't listening welll | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ssh into the remote box and run whatever command you need. or check the ssh option i think its -e or -c | 18:03 |
| tyreza | i know what is ssh ? | 18:03 |
| llutz | ssh user@host <command> | 18:03 |
| deucep | opalfroot: I must have something setup wrong in my SMB | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | you want to remotely restart networking on a machine you said.. | 18:03 |
| sipior | tyreza: you're not exactly making things easy for him. | 18:03 |
| deucep | opalfroot: I added the user but I still cant login at the prompt | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | you havent exactly read the docs on ssh then tyreza - or else its not clear what youa re doing sounds exactly like a feature in ssh. | 18:03 |
| tyreza | i said that i got a current where it is able to connect to ssh | 18:03 |

| Calinou | hi, with nautilus, how can i search including hidden files? | 18:15 |
| === Guest27736 is now known as DarkDevil | ||
| thrope | im trying to run pprof from google-perftools - i've installed all the google-perftools packages I can see but it doesnt seem to be there | 18:15 |
| Calinou | i need to remove all those .svn in a group of folders where i don't use svn anymore | 18:15 |
| === DarkDevil is now known as Guest31582 | ||
| thrope | any ideas how I can get it? are the ubuntu perftools packages broken? | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | Calinou, you could use find with the proper options to find/remove tehm | 18:15 |
| Calinou | i've checked "show hidden files" | 18:16 |
| Calinou | but this does not apply to search, the ctrl+f one | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | I wonder if thers some nice gui to find... | 18:16 |
| ZenMasta | I made a link to a script in /ect/cron.hourly but it doesn't seem to be running so I'm wondering what else I need to do. the script works if I run it manually | 18:17 |
| Calinou | no file found using the advanced search from ubuntu's applications too | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ZenMasta, what does the script do.. did you use absolute paths.. is it using the right shell. | 18:17 |
| Calinou | oh. found | 18:17 |
| Calinou | i've found, thanks anyway, bye | 18:17 |
| PeaceMaker | find / -name .svn | xargs rm -f | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | Calinou, find is a command line tool that can do fancy things :) like PeaceMaker just showed. | 18:17 |
| === Guest44996 is now known as eBittin | ||
| ZenMasta | Dr_Willis_TCL its a mysql backup | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ZenMasta, check your paths.. make the script print out some log/info messages to say waht its doing and perhaps failing at.. | 18:18 |
| ZenMasta | Dr_Willis_TCL as I mentioned the script works if I run it manually I've never used cron before so i'm sure I'm msising something | 18:18 |
| RobinJ | genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory 'isolinux'! | 18:18 |

| Wickedspawn | My wireless shuts off whenever I unplug my AC cord (Laptop btw). I checked power management, and all of that seems to be fine. I don't know what keeps making it shut off. Also, my USB ports seem to go off at the same time (USB keyboard won't respond.). When I plug the AC back in, they still don't work and I end up having to reboot. | 18:19 |
| Calinou | PHEW | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ZenMasta, cron will not be using your personal alias's or PATH variable. It has its own clean 'enviroment' (i think thats the right term) | 18:19 |
| Calinou | almost destroyed my comp | 18:19 |
| ZenMasta | there isn't a crontab for my user, but I thought if I just put it in the cron.hourly folder it would work | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ZenMasta, check others in there. check that its executable. check its permissions and ownership.. (im just ticking off things to check) | 18:19 |
| Calinou | done ZenMasta, thanks, but the next time instead of "/", say "directory" | 18:20 |
| lojack | Does anyone know how to _completely_ prevent swap from being mounted at boot? Adding noswap as boot parameter doesn't work. | 18:20 |
| Calinou | i'm not so attentive, so.. | 18:20 |
| ZenMasta | Callum that wasn't directed at you. | 18:20 |
| ZenMasta | Dr_ it's owned by root, its writable | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | is it executable.. | 18:20 |
| ZenMasta | Dr_Willis_TCL its a .sh | 18:20 |
| PeaceMaker | lojack, check /etc/fstab | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | ive not used cron in ages. :) im rusty withit. | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | lojack: comment out the swap in fstab too | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | being named. .sh does NOT make it executable. | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | sudo chmod +x whatever.sh | 18:21 |
| ZenMasta | Dr_Willis_TCL yes, I've already done that | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ZenMasta: the extension means nothing in Linux. Windows relies on the extension to tell it what the file is, Linux is smart and looks at the data | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | make a simple example to try the same thing, have it print a single line to a log.. see if that one works as a test perhaps. | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | or comap[re it to other cron hourely scripts and hope to find a differance. | 18:22 |
| ZenMasta | do I have to have a crontab though or is having a link in cron.daily sufficient? | 18:22 |
| Huck_ | pulling a wave file from an audio disc results in a larger file than ripping the same wave file using audio juicer, does juicer compress a wave file ? | 18:22 |

| Gryphon4200 | I'm attempting to write a script to test ASCII colors for my terminal. I'm in xterm and ksh. Does anyone have any advise? | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | ZenMasta: export EDITOR=nano; crontab -e or you can use gnome-schedule if you prefer GUI. To crom as root use: export editor=nano; sudo crontab -e or: gksudo gnome-schedule | 18:23 |
| gnewb | Can and how do I 'shrink' , resize an sda partition , I am 10.04, and I really do not need the full drive with one install, I would prefer to re-size it so that I can store documents and multimedia files and backups. | 18:23 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | Gryphon4200, the advanced bash scripting guide has a example i recall that prints out a rainbow test pattern of colors. | 18:23 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | Gryphon4200, but NO idea on how ksh does it.. | 18:24 |
| Jimmymaniac | Hi. Quick question: In maverick how do i give Nautilus a url to open like i used to in older versions? like when i was able to tell it to go to smb:/somewhere | 18:24 |

| trism | Jimmymaniac: ctrl+L | 18:24 |

| Jimmymaniac | trism: thanks :) | 18:25 |

| ActionParsnip | Jimmymaniac: press ALT+F2 and type the smb:// stuff and it will work | 18:25 |
| ZenMasta | ActionParsnip no crontab for root - using an empty one... so do I still have to make this kind of entry in the crontab 01 04 1 1 1 /usr/bin/somedirectory/somecommand I thought that was the whole point of putting it i the cron.whateverfolder | 18:25 |

| llutz | ZenMasta: rename your link/script, the name must not contain a "." dot (man run-parts) | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | ZenMasta: command will add it where necessary | 18:26 |
| PeaceMaker | Wickedspawn, more like a hardware problem. | 18:26 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | or really weird apci/bios power saveing.. | 18:27 |
| Wickedspawn | PeaceMaker: i would have said that too.. but it didn't happen on 10.04, 9.10, or 9.04. (Currently on 10.10) | 18:27 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | Wickedspawn, as a test. try a older live cd. see if works/dont work. | 18:27 |
| gnewb | Wickedspawn: Yes, what Action+Parsnip stated, I am thinking it may be a power saving program or setup causing it. | 18:28 |
| PeaceMaker | Wickedspawn, humm, do as Dr Willis said. | 18:28 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | also test 11.04. if you could prove it only has issues with 10.10 that would help the bug reports | 18:28 |
| PeaceMaker | I haven't seen this on all computers I used (> a dozen) | 18:28 |
| genii-around | Wickedspawn: You can always try to turn off the autosuspend manually for a device. Like if /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/1-3/power/autosuspend for instance belonged to your wifi, you could: echo "0" | sudo tee -a /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/1-3/power/autosuspend | 18:29 |

| Dr_Willis_TCL | [4-tea-2], one trick could be to copy the 'stanzas' that update-grub generates from the grub.cfg into the 40_custome file, and then disable os-prober. and edit 40_custome to not show what you dont want shown. | 18:31 |
| === blackswan is now known as CignoNero | ||
| Wickedspawn | ill try them.. I will save the version hopping as a last resort. | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | Os-prober here just finds the same windows partitions.. so i dont even need it much :) | 18:32 |
| [4-tea-2] | ActionParsnip: os-prober does not give any help and has no man page and nothing in /usr/share/doc. | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | but i dont add/remove new OS's that much. | 18:32 |
| [4-tea-2] | Dr_Willis_TCL: that's a great workaround, but since I don't use the old windows anymore, I don't mind "disabling" it. I just don't want to lose access to the data on the partition. | 18:32 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | [4-tea-2], i do think the grub2 forum thread. has some info on changeing that behaivor also. | 18:33 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | [4-tea-2], you can still mount it.. grub just wont make an entry for it. | 18:33 |
| [4-tea-2] | Dr_Willis_TCL: yeah, I understand, that's why I said it's a great workaround. I'm interested for the proper solution, though, if only out of academic interest. ;) | 18:33 |
| PeaceMaker | Wickedspawn, have you tried turning power saving off? | 18:33 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | os-prober can get very annoying at times when it finds 5+ differnt OS's you happen to have on your portable flashdrive+usb hard drive, and so on,. | 18:33 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | [4-tea-2], the other fix's ive sene would be editing the os-prober script with some if/then/ type of exceptions | 18:34 |
| [4-tea-2] | Dr_Willis_TCL: if I knew how os-prober identifies a OS, I could just remove that bit of information for the old Win. | 18:34 |
| Dr_Willis_TCL | i wasthinking its just a rather complex bash script.. check it out. | 18:34 |
| [4-tea-2] | Dr_Willis_TCL: ah, os-prober is just a script stanza? Then I'll find out. UTSL. | 18:34 |

| bassam | My problem still not solved. | 19:03 |
| Seppman | there must be a way to achieve this, istn't there one? | 19:03 |
| syn3rgy | Incarus6 in a way. Means that many users can use the same computer and see their own accounts. | 19:04 |
| ruan | bassam: if you execute the .sh file with a terminal [cd to directory, ./foo.sh] does it work? | 19:04 |
| bassam | ruan : how can i execute it? | 19:04 |
| maedox_ | donnib: you could look into using upstart instead of init.d scripts. it's supposed to be more flexible with regards to dependencies | 19:04 |
| donnib | maedox_: if i want to make sure it is at the end how do i do that ? | 19:05 |
| ruan | bassam: cd to the directory with a terminal first | 19:05 |
| donnib | maedox_: oh, don't know much about it, i just found this script on the net and i added it | 19:05 |
| bassam | ruan: so i open the terminal and type what? | 19:05 |
| gabriel_ | ruan, yes, but it's the last panel , and I don't get that option highlighted | 19:05 |
| maedox_ | donnib: put it in /etc/rc.local or /etc/crontab with a line like: @reboot user command | 19:05 |
| Delocated | bassam, you need to read the instructons for it | 19:05 |
| Delocated | it does work | 19:06 |
| Incarus6 | syn3rgy, it is similiar. when you use one computer you have to possibility to start several x servers (e.g. dualscreen) | 19:06 |
| syn3rgy | Incarus6 This is the power of Ubuntu 10.10 using multiseat www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlPhVsFgYe0&feature=related | 19:06 |
| ruan | gabriel_: hmmm... make it transparent? | 19:06 |
| donnib | maedox_: so i should copy the script to /etc/rc.local and try reboot to see if that works ? don't i have to remove it from where it is now ? | 19:06 |
| gabriel_ | ruan, yes I did | 19:06 |
| bassam | I dunno how to execute the file in terminal | 19:07 |
| Delocated | Does anyone know of a distributed type set up when I could run a command across multipal servers and have it catch when one of the servers exits the command? | 19:07 |
| ruan | bassam: where is the file? | 19:07 |
| Seppman | no one here has a script for this? pls hlp me | 19:07 |
| syn3rgy | Incarus6 Thing that this does not seem to work in the Gnome vertion of Ubuntu. If you look at the video you can see it is using KDE | 19:07 |

| ruan | bassam: in a terminal | 19:09 |
| bassam | ok | 19:09 |
| bassam | wait | 19:09 |
| syn3rgy | Incarus6 OK Ill take a look if I can somehow intergrade the code from KDE with GDM and ConsoleKit | 19:09 |
| ruan | bassam: then type ./file.sh | 19:10 |
| Seppman | anyway, does someone think i'd get better support in fedora oder debian? | 19:10 |
| Delocated | Seppman, smtp auth sasl | 19:10 |
| ruan | bassam: file being the name of the file with .sh extention | 19:10 |
| maedox_ | donnib: /etc/rc.local is a file. You add the script path before exit in there. `update-rc.d -f deluge-daemon remove` first | 19:11 |
| Incarus6 | syn3rgy, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" should give you a dialog to choose between kdm and gdm (when kdm is installed) | 19:11 |
| ruan | extension | 19:11 |
| Delocated | Depends on how many users you plan on holding | 19:11 |
| Seppman | Delocated: ok, thats an argument | 19:11 |
| Delocated | Seppman, this is true, you could just leave it at pam | 19:11 |
| format120 | Delocated, so smtp authentification, and sasl are in msql? or you need msql to run them? | 19:11 |
| Delocated | format, stick with the basics, postfix | 19:11 |
| syn3rgy | Incarus6 Ill take a look at that. Thx | 19:11 |
| Delocated | and later you can add in sasl, tls, and whatever else you want | 19:12 |

| Incarus6 | syn3rgy: one thing: video looks like, looks more like dual screen them multiseat | 19:12 |

| Incarus6 | TechniCore, ah, simple! thats the problem. do you really need "alsa-driver-linuxant"? i think not. try "sudo dpkg -r --force-all alsa-driver-linuxant" | 19:40 |
| Incarus6 | TechniCore, "alsa-driver-linuxant" is causing a dependency hell | 19:40 |
| TechniCore | Incarus6: Of course, I get the same error while uninstalling it, :(. | 19:41 |
| ruan | my panels just froze, how do i restart them? | 19:41 |
| Incarus6 | TechniCore, also with --force-all? pls paste exact result | 19:42 |
| qknight | jrib: thanks that worked but dpkg broke with error 1 as it could not find /etc/ssh (i removed it) one the dpkg --purge step which keeps me wondering | 19:42 |
| darkkilla | does nobody have a clue what might cause all this problems? I srsly think about installing a Vanilla/Mainline-Kernel... | 19:42 |
| donnib | maedox_: sent u a link | 19:42 |
| donnib | maedox_: with the script | 19:42 |
| qknight | jrib: no it was apt-get install openssh-server which broke | 19:42 |
| maedox_ | donnib: seems simple enough. not sure why it won't work. Did you try putting it in /etc/crontab too? | 19:42 |

| bullgard | ruan: A panel freeze would show up in the '~$ ps ax' process list as to what kind of block it is. If it is 100% CPU in the top, then thatwould be harder to track. But if it is in the D state in ps then you could probably strace it to find what ist is doing. | 19:46 |

| danryan | does such a thing exist? | 20:13 |
| donnib | how much is the difference in performance between NFS and CIFS ? is it wort fighting for NFS ? | 20:13 |
| dlynes | donnib, define fight | 20:14 |
| SwedeMike | gribouille: your sandisk emulates a cdrom as well as the actual device. | 20:14 |
| gribouille | SwedeMike, why ? | 20:14 |
| dlynes | donnib, if you mean fight as in fight politics with IT, I'd say probably not | 20:14 |
| donnib | dlynes: well right now i have CIFS working to my NAS and i get 8-9mb/s and i can't get NFS to work so i wondered wheter NFS might perform better | 20:14 |
| SwedeMike | gribouille: guess they want to install drivers on windows systems or something. ask them. | 20:14 |
| Delocated | danryan, https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/56929/ | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | donnib: are you transfering huge files or small stuff like images and audio tracks? | 20:15 |
| dlynes | donnib, NFS has many more security holes, and I'm not that sure it's any more efficient than samba | 20:15 |
| dlynes | donnib, the biggest advantage to NFS is that it preserves unix file permissions and ownerships | 20:15 |
| Delocated | danryan, or http://dev.gentoo.org/%7Er0bertz/per-process-swap-usage.patch | 20:15 |
| donnib | ActionParsnip: i will be transferring GB of data | 20:16 |
| Delocated | start in that area | 20:16 |

| donnib | dlynes: ok, so until now it seems CIFS is ok, i did not mention but i have various clients using the data from the NAS, i have windows, linux, mac os so maybe CIFS is the best choice | 20:17 |

| KramB | two* | 20:24 |
| skullboy | <KramB> what problem are experiencing | 20:24 |
| drc | KramB, define "not work" | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | donnib: that's for a system with a bit of ram to spare. Can also add: vm.swappiness=0 to the same file so your OS only uses swap if absolutely necessary | 20:24 |
| dlynes | donnib, yeah...I would stick with CIFS, personally, then | 20:25 |
| KramB | Skullboy/drc: The effects like when you move your window it wobbles, mine does not wobble. | 20:25 |

| dlynes | donnib, and as I had mentioned, it doesn't have as many security holes as nfs | 20:25 |
| skullboy | <KramB> what desktop envelopment do you use | 20:26 |
| donnib | dlynes: cool, thx for the advice | 20:26 |
| KramB | I use Xfce. Xubuntu 10.10 | 20:26 |
| dlynes | donnib, security's important when you have all those evil windows trolls running around | 20:26 |
| donnib | dlynes: :D | 20:26 |
| skullboy | <KramB> i think thats why' | 20:27 |
| drc | KramB: With XFCE, how did you enable Compiz? | 20:27 |
| drc | KramB, As far as I know, COmpiz is GNOME only, won't work with XFCE | 20:27 |
| aeon-ltd | drc: xfce is the environment, when running compiz it takes over xfce's window manager | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | KramB: have you installed the nvidia driver? | 20:27 |
| aeon-ltd | drc: so really you'd basically be using xfce software inc panel with compiz window manager | 20:28 |
| drc | aeon-ltd: Ah, so it does work with XFCE? | 20:28 |
| skullboy | drc: and kde compiz works with kde | 20:28 |
| KramB | Action: Yes I have the recommened driver installed. drc: Are you sure? I was following a guide for Xubuntu. | 20:28 |
| aeon-ltd | drc: it wouldn't be xfce anymore but yes | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Drc: you can use compiz on any DE. Its not gnome only | 20:28 |

| bullgard | When booting my Maverick computer I obtain on virtual console-1 data roughly equivalent to the output of '~$ landscape-sysinfo'. It requests: "Graph this data and manage this system at http://landscape.canonical.com/ ." Does following this invitation require a fee? | 20:43 |

| andersffs | Hello! I was messing around with ircd-hybrid on my homeserver and i think i made of written "sudo apt-get autoremove" and now when i want to install something it just says that there no dependencies installed. So my question it how do i install all the standard packages and/or make "apt-get install" download them automaticly? Thanks! Heres my output: http://pastebin.com/G87xZxRU | 20:45 |

| nictrasavios | And yes, i have tried #compiz, they never said a word in the 2 hours i was in there. | 21:14 |
| coz_ | nictrasavios, ooo sorry guy,,, it was probably when I was on break in #compiz | 21:14 |

| ljsoftnet | how do you delete files in jolicloud? | 21:39 |
| Isonyx | Something like that. I read on a linux forum that's it's something to do with the process. When I checked out the Cron process it's on a keep-alive system. | 21:39 |

| frojnd | Hi there. Is there a way to connect to a secure (WEP) wireless network from command line without installing any additional apps? And how? | 21:50 |
| frojnd | I really need this | 21:50 |
| Firefishe | |697: Why wouldn't you just be able to leave your computer and download the file? Is your computer hibernating or something after 20 minutes? | 21:51 |
| ThinkT510 | J697: try looking under the power settings | 21:51 |
| tim | Why on system startup does Ubuntu 10.10 show multiple startups? | 21:51 |
| J697 | Fireblasto, yes exactly, well it shuts down actually and ThinkT510, I have but it still does anyway for some reason :| | 21:51 |
| bastidrazor | tim: do you mean multiple kernel options? | 21:52 |
| Fireblasto | J697, classic example of failure with that tab key ;) | 21:52 |
| Firefishe | J697: If it shuts down after 20 minutes, you probably have it set to do so in the power management settings. | 21:52 |
| Firefishe | bastidrazor: I have, at least, seven kernels on this thing | 21:52 |
| aeon-ltd | , | 21:53 |
| t_j | where can I find info on building packages for ubuntu? | 21:53 |
| bastidrazor | Firefishe: in synaptic search for linux-image and uninstall the older kernels | 21:53 |
| ThinkT510 | J697: you sure you edited the right settings and applied them, there are seperate settings for battery and ac | 21:53 |
| Firefishe | bastidrazor: I'm not unaware of them. Fact is, I sometimes go back just to see what's changed ;). | 21:53 |

| bastidrazor | Firefishe: that is what the changelog is for | 21:54 |
| Firefishe | bastidrazor: practical testing, however, requires the original kernel...no matter, I usually delete, say, that two oldest after about 6 months. | 21:55 |
| t_j | ubottu: cool thanks | 21:55 |
| Firefishe | that two = "the last two" | 21:55 |
| J697 | Fireblasto, I meant more like, the screen goes black after about 5-10 minutes and I have to move the mouse or press space and enter my password, which is annoying, then after 30 more minutes it shuts down,and ThinkT510 I guess I'll look at it again | 21:55 |
| daxol | hi, I have a dual boot between win7 and ubuntu.. is it possible to make my windows home directory and linux home directory the same? i know i can access my windows files my mounting the partition and then navigating to them, but is it possible to make it so when i open "pictures" in ubuntu it will always show the same contents as opening "my pictures" in windows ? | 21:56 |
| stiltzkin | Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old PowerMac G4, via the alternate install CD. Install went fine, but when X tries to start I get "Cannot Display This Video Mode" on my monitor | 21:56 |
| stiltzkin | I suspect this is a framerate issue | 21:56 |
| t_j | guntbert: ah missed that it was you, thanks for the infor | 21:56 |
| Firefishe | speedy: Please don't file send me unless you tell me, in advance, what it is you're sending me, please. | 21:56 |
| t_j | s/r$// | 21:56 |
| Fireblasto | oh come on, J697, that's twice, fix it or stop using the tab button | 21:56 |
| tim | Yes I believe that is correct | 21:56 |
| guntbert | t_j: no problem :) | 21:56 |
| bastidrazor | daxol: symlink | 21:56 |
| stiltzkin | Normally I'd edit xorg.conf, but that is apparently deprecated in 10.10 | 21:57 |
| bastidrazor | tim: you can uninstall the older kernels if you don't want them. | 21:57 |
| speedy | Firefishe: sorry may i send the shot of compile so u can c thanks i promise its ok | 21:57 |
| stiltzkin | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does nothing as well | 21:57 |
| Firefishe | speedy: go ahead and re-send it. | 21:57 |
| speedy | ok | 21:57 |
| J697 | Fireblasto, I am afraid I don't really understand :\ | 21:57 |
| bastidrazor | stiltzkin: you can still use a xorg.conf if you wish. | 21:57 |
| stiltzkin | also xrandr just complains "Can't open display" | 21:57 |
| J697 | *what you about the tab | 21:57 |
| donnib | is it possible to put a delay in the crontab file ? | 21:58 |
| stiltzkin | bastidrazor, I was just reading that...but I'm not entirely what goes in that file to begin with | 21:58 |
| donnib | i have a line launching a script but i want a delay of let's say 20 sec, is that possible ? | 21:58 |
| speedy | Firefishe : will it still compile u think | 21:58 |
| tim | How do I uninstall the extra kernels? | 21:59 |
| Fireblasto | J697, you are hitting the tab key on your key board to auto complete names, and it is highlighting me. Make sure you type out the right name and don't just type'fire' | 21:59 |
| Firefishe | lol | 21:59 |
| bastidrazor | stiltzkin: just add what you need set. | 21:59 |
| Firefishe | speedy: I don't know if that is an actually-needed file. | 21:59 |
| bastidrazor | tim: in synaptic search for linux-image | 21:59 |

| bastidrazor | tim: be sure to leave the current kernel alone. | 22:00 |
| stiltzkin | bastidrazor, so just the "monitor" section I guess? | 22:00 |
| speedy | to uninstall extr kernels use ailurus to remove unwanted kernels | 22:00 |
| J697 | Fireblasto, oh lol I jjust noticed Fireblasto and Firefishe lol, sorry :) | 22:00 |
| tim | One more question. I have a system that is hanging on the Ubuntu splash screen. How can I get around that? | 22:00 |
| Fireblasto | J697, no problem, only problem is that it took 4 highlights on my nick :) | 22:01 |
| Firefishe | speedy: Well, all you can do is do `make' and see if it does | 22:01 |
| Firefishe | speedy: If it gives you an error, then you'll know. It doesn't sound like a library to me. | 22:01 |
| speedy | Firefishe: that is kinda what i was thinking its not needed i have installed it on 2 other machines never seen that b4 and they work fine compile on lucid box | 22:02 |
| speedy | Firefishe: thanks for the input and help | 22:02 |
| speedy | i will compile and c if works | 22:02 |
| tim | I think that I ruined one of my partitions. I get "Press S to skip or M for manual recovery" at system start. Can you advise? | 22:03 |
| Firefishe | speedy: I'm using lucid, as well. That type of thing is kind of like kvirc: There's a place in the config-setup where you can compile the following: --with-pizza and --with-beer. All they do is start a small script that does nothing except say it's mixing and baking the ingredients and pulling a draght of your fav brew ;) hee | 22:03 |
| Firefishe | draught | 22:03 |
| Firefishe | speedy: Please tell me if it does. | 22:04 |

| Firefishe | happy to help | 22:04 |
| speedy | ok thanks | 22:05 |
| Fireblasto | tim retrieve any files that you need, and reinstall ubuntu. Simples. Unless you want to try a manual recover, which I don't know what it entails | 22:05 |
| Firefishe | speedy: Another clue is the line at the bottom of the configure script end: "We can't promise to not kill any kittens." -- Considering that part, I think the first part is a given ;) LOL | 22:06 |
| speedy | ya i saw that funny humor | 22:06 |
| bastidrazor | Fireblasto: how does reinstalling ubuntu fix a busted partition that may not even contain the OS? | 22:07 |
| Firefishe | speedy: Just what is bashstyle-NG anyway? | 22:07 |
| Fireblasto | bastidrazor, I was presuming it was the system partition | 22:07 |
| bastidrazor | Fireblasto: possibly you should ask those sorts of questions before suggesting radical moves. | 22:07 |
| Fireblasto | bastidrazor, yes, but only trying to help :) | 22:08 |
| speedy | its a bash addon for some nice effects to your existing bash and commandline | 22:08 |
| bastidrazor | Fireblasto: give of the wall advice is not helping. | 22:08 |
| Firefishe | speedy: I'll look it up, may be interesting. | 22:08 |
| Fireblasto | bastidrazor ? | 22:08 |
| Firefishe | speedy: If you need more assistance, and I'm here, please ask :) | 22:08 |
| speedy | ok thanks | 22:09 |
| Firefishe | yw speedy | 22:09 |

| speedy | http://www.nanolx.org/newsnanolx/bashstyle-ng#more-87 link to bashstyle-NG | 22:09 |
| Fireblasto | bastidrazor, well it usually is fool proof, that's why I suggested it | 22:09 |

| Fireblasto | bastidrazor, and I know, I should of gathered more intel. The way in that you suggested that I was unhelpful was not friendly | 22:14 |
| Firefishe | morrisette: I'm no expert here, but for the hardware, you may have to find where the lid-switch is, and disconnect it, or remove it, altogether. That *might* work for keeping the laptop on. | 22:14 |

| guntbert | !here | TobalJackson | 22:23 |

| TobalJackson | basically, I need to know how to construct a routine in a bash script | 22:24 |
| daxol | ThinkT510 oh i see ok then. but even if i had this partition, how would i make ubuntu automatically link to it? e.g. in my ubuntu home directory i want a link to the documents folder on another partition, can this be done? i don't want to have to keep mounting the partition | 22:24 |
| timmybobcat14 | Hi I have a problem opening ubuntu. I have pasted the problem here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/580807/ | 22:24 |

| Mission_Control | cause I just thought it being more of a hardware thing | 22:28 |
| guntbert | dlynes: then I suggest you ask the maintainer of that ppa | 22:28 |
| jonthue | i am having a hard time updating anything | 22:28 |
| Mission_Control | I just wondered if there might be any problems when it comes to ubuntu and raid | 22:28 |
| Firefishe | Blue1: You know, my Asus G50V lappie here *does* have lightscribe, but I've never tried it. | 22:28 |
| Fredrick | when installing a new server, what is "Landscape"? in regards to automatic updates | 22:29 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, a lot of software that the average person doesn't use can have lots of problems | 22:29 |
| stiltzkin | rww, what is the logic behind that? So if the display is detected incorrectly, I can't make any changes to correct the problem | 22:29 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, are you talking about hardware-based raid specifically? | 22:29 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, or are you talking pure software raid? | 22:29 |
| Blue1 | Firefishe: I had to retro that onto a 64 bit system. it works well as long as you install the ia32 libs. | 22:29 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, or are you talking more winraid? | 22:29 |
| lkd | t | 22:30 |
| timmybobcat14 | It seems such a simple problem if I was a techy I am sure a few keystrokes and it would be solved...http://paste.ubuntu.com/580807/ | 22:30 |
| rww | stiltzkin: If you create an xorg.conf with the configuration settings you need, it'll read that instead. | 22:30 |
| === lkd is now known as emrebey | ||
| Mission_Control | I really don't know | 22:30 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, how were you planning to implement raid? | 22:30 |
| Mission_Control | I have no experience with it | 22:30 |
| Firefishe | Blue1: I'm using 64bit ubuntu 10.04. Also *with* the ia23libs installed. A lot of software needs them, so I just put 'em in when I install a new system. | 22:30 |
| Mission_Control | but when I do I want to do it with both windows and ubuntu | 22:30 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, ah...then what makes you think you need it? | 22:30 |
| Mission_Control | faster connection | 22:31 |
| === Axlin is now known as Axlin|AFK | ||
| dlynes | Mission_Control, you mean faster throughput? | 22:31 |
| Fredrick | what is landscape? its in the installer, on the automatic updates screen | 22:31 |
| inside-out-bunny | timmybobcat14: did you have anything important on your /home partition? b/c it sounds like a bad drive | 22:31 |
| Blue1 | Firefishe: yup. if not too personal where ru from? I'm in tucson, az | 22:31 |
| Mission_Control | yeah | 22:31 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, so you don't care about data integrity then? Just pure speed? | 22:31 |
| Firefishe | Blue1: Let's take personal chat to query, k? | 22:31 |
| Mission_Control | well | 22:31 |
| Blue1 | sure | 22:31 |
| Mission_Control | I was thinking about raid 1+0 | 22:31 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, pure speed would be raid 0 | 22:32 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, pure data integrity would be raid 1 | 22:32 |
| Mission_Control | that's striped raid | 22:32 |
| Mission_Control | and then mirrored for raid 1 | 22:32 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, a nice mix of the two would be raid 5 | 22:32 |
| === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer | ||
| dlynes | Mission_Control, however, for raid 5, you need at least three drives | 22:32 |
| timmybobcat14 | inside-out-bunny is that another way of saying I need to reinstall it all again: I can access my home directory no problem. | 22:32 |
| Mission_Control | it would be either 1+0 or raid 5 depending on whether I'll get a raid contoller | 22:32 |
| theorem | silly question, I can;t seem to mount my DVD drive after I've just put something in the drive -- what is preventing me from doing this ? | 22:32 |
| Mission_Control | you need a raid controller for raid 5 | 22:33 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, you do not | 22:33 |
| theorem | dlynes is correct. | 22:33 |
| stiltzkin | rww, that's what I did, but I'm not sure what the settings I need are. I tried a sample configuration that should be compatible with my monitor but I get "Fatal server error: no screens found" if I try to startx | 22:33 |
| malibu | Ok.. dumb question.. does the show desktop shortcut for anyone else but me default to plain letter 'D' ??? | 22:33 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, but, if you want the same data to be able to be read by both windows and linux | 22:33 |
| timmybobcat14 | inside-out-bunny - I obviously doen't know how to check my permissions or would probably have solved the problem | 22:33 |
| timmybobcat14 | by now | 22:33 |
| stiltzkin | also, is this related to the fact that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg now appears to do nothing? | 22:33 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, it doesn't matter raid 0, 1, 5, ..., you're going to need a raid controller card | 22:33 |
| stiltzkin | that usually fixed all of my problems when I had display issues in the past | 22:34 |
| theorem | dlynes: there you are incorrect. | 22:34 |
| Mission_Control | unless your motherboard supports raid | 22:34 |
| theorem | dlynes: you never *need* a RAID card. | 22:34 |
| Mission_Control | it should do both raid 1 and 0 | 22:34 |
| theorem | Mission_Control: certainly not. you can do it all in software. it's just harder. | 22:34 |
| dlynes | theorem, so how do you do software raid in linux that's compatible with windows? | 22:34 |
| alexantemachina | hi all | 22:34 |
| timmybobcat14 | How does one check one's "permissions"? | 22:34 |
| Mission_Control | I don't know | 22:34 |
| theorem | dlynes: dlynes : not compat with windows. who runs that ? | 22:34 |
| Fredrick | it seems that landscape is for managing huge clouds of servers, is this true? | 22:34 |
| theorem | ;-) | 22:34 |
| timmybobcat14 | "The disk drive for /home is not ready yet or not present. | 22:35 |
| timmybobcat14 | Continue to wait; or press S to skip or M for manual recovery" | 22:35 |
| dlynes | Mission_Control, motherboard is still hardware raid (assuming you're not talking about intel bios raid aka winraid) | 22:35 |
| malibu | dlynes: Set up a software raid on a linux server, intstall samba, share volumes with windows | 22:35 |
| Mission_Control | in the event that I can't use the two I'll just have to pick which operating system I want | 22:35 |
| theorem | you want linux. | 22:35 |
| Fredrick | !Linux | 22:35 |
| ubottu | Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux | 22:35 |
| timmybobcat14 | If I choose to press S I can log in but then I get theses 2 messages and have to reboot: | 22:35 |

| timmybobcat14 | There is a problem with the configuration service (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfpsanity-check-2 exited with status 256) | 22:35 |
| dlynes | malibu, "<Mission_Control> but when I do I want to do it with both windows and ubuntu" | 22:35 |
| * theorem rolls his eyes. | 22:35 | |
| Fredrick | oh, i thought that would be more like " Lunix FTW!" | 22:36 |
| ThinkT510 | theorem: thats his decision to make | 22:36 |
| dlynes | malibu, whether he means both on the same machine, or across the network, i have no idea | 22:36 |
| alexantemachina | I'd like to know wether the dock/bar on the left on unity can be configured somehow. | 22:36 |
| theorem | naturally | 22:36 |
| Mission_Control | hmm | 22:36 |
| theorem | but I didn;t come in here to discuss these merits. | 22:36 |

| alberto | Firefishe Therefore Addictive Drums must be made for Windows / Mac platforms... | 22:55 |
| Jordan_U | dlynes: That's because 1: You shouldn't be running an OS without security updates and 2: "No longer supported" means that we don't support it. | 22:55 |

| ohzie | natrixnatrix89: using a linux pc as an access point is possible, but it depends on your hardware. | 22:56 |
| dlynes | Jordan_U, w/o security updates is relative, considering it's on a closed network, without internet | 22:56 |
| Jordan_U | dlynes: Why are you using 9.04 still? | 22:56 |
| natrixnatrix89 | ohzie: because some wifi cards don't support it? | 22:56 |
| Jordan_U | dlynes: That still doesn't change point #2. We don't support unsupported releases. | 22:56 |
| dlynes | Jordan_U, because the platform is stable on 9.04, and we haven't worked the kinks out of 10.04 yet | 22:56 |
| ohzie | natrixnatrix89: Because the drivers don't support it | 22:56 |
| natrixnatrix89 | right | 22:56 |
| ohzie | natrixnatrix89: any hardware is capable of it | 22:56 |

| dlynes | Jordan_U, yeah...unfortunately i'm not the one that gets to triage what's important and what's not for our product lifecycle | 22:58 |
| ohzie | question_: this one | 22:58 |
| Firefishe | alberto: you're welcome. happy to help :) | 22:58 |
| natrixnatrix89 | ohzie: thanks but will it support infrastructure mode? | 22:58 |
| Firefishe | question_: Just ask. | 22:58 |
| olivier | don't worry 'bout looking dumb, just ask ;) | 22:58 |
| natrixnatrix89 | because ad-hoc is not recognized by many devices | 22:58 |
| ohzie | natrixnatrix89: That depends on your hardware and what drive you use. | 22:58 |
| dlynes | Jordan_U, upgrading to 10.04 is important, but it's about 30 tasks down from the top of the mole hill right now | 22:58 |
| timmybobcat14 | "Could not update ICE Authority file /home/myname/.ICEauthority" | 22:58 |
| Loshki | timmybobcat14: try http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/iceauthority-error-in-ubuntu-8-10-a-681312/ -- the post by arizonagroovejet is what I'd try next... | 22:58 |
| Zahrada | I've got a quick question. | 22:59 |
| natrixnatrix89 | ohzie: for example my cell phone is android. And its so easy to turn that in ap. just click enable tethering. and it becomes a wifi hotspot, and shares the internet from its 3g | 22:59 |
| Loshki | !ask | Zahrada | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Zahrada: 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. :-) | 22:59 |
| question_ | i am kind of confused about using the /join channel vs what is already on the right side of this page in orange and in white | 22:59 |
| Jordan_U | dlynes: Unfortunately your corporate policies do not change this channel's policies. We do not support 9.04 here. Period. | 22:59 |

| === Enissay__ is now known as Enissay | ||
| Zahrada | Assuming /boot contains everything you need to get the os booting (grub included, I hope), how large does a partition have to be to contain it? | 23:00 |
| dlynes | Jordan_U, ah...thought that was just a ubuntu policy, not necessarily a channel policy | 23:00 |
| Loshki | timmybobcat14: either you like diy computing or you don't :-) | 23:00 |
| ohzie | Zahrada: I shoot for 100MB usually. That gives it room for a few kernels | 23:01 |
| question_ | did anyone see my question? thanks | 23:01 |
| Zahrada | Thanks. | 23:01 |
| timmybobcat14 | Loshki-Well I wouldn't buy a motorcar if I was going to have be diying it all the time. Would you? | 23:01 |
| ohzie | question_: Not sure what you're asking | 23:01 |
| Zahrada | I'm really just starting to explore Linux (through Ubuntu), as my old platform just doesn't do the trick anymore (OS/2) | 23:02 |
| question_ | how do i go about joining c=a channel on the right side of this page. double click in the channel? | 23:02 |
| Loshki | timmybobcat14: some people would buy a motorcar just so they could fiddle with it... | 23:02 |
| Zahrada | And I must say, it's awesome. | 23:02 |

| naeluh | does it matter if I am a server and not a computer? | 23:09 |
| ohzie | naeluh: a server is a computer, isn't it? | 23:09 |
| Murtoc | I was running SSH fine and after i stoped my apatche server i cannot ssh into my computer | 23:09 |
| naeluh | I mean I am on a cloud server | 23:09 |
| timmybobcat14 | Loshki-you mean like buying motor car that won't break down every 5 mintues or that you don't need a degree in mechinacal engineering in order to keep working. No no shame at all-common sense really at the end of the day. | 23:09 |
| ohzie | naeluh: you're on a virtual machine | 23:10 |
| rww | naeluh: no, 9.04 isn't LTS, so the end-of-life deadline is 18 months from release for server and desktop. | 23:10 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: What were you doing with Ubuntu when it broke | 23:10 |
| mdkess | Question: Say I have a file that has a bunch of multiple line records separated by '----'. Each record has a "Date=234343434323" line with an epoch timestamp on it. Is there any way that I can sort the records in this file by date (without having to write a perl script or such)? | 23:10 |

| s5fs | suicidolt: what part is greek? | 23:11 |
| oven_ | dumb question, but can someone tell me if I installed 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu | 23:12 |
| oven_ | here is my uname -a results, Linux oven 2.6.35-27-generic-pae #48-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 22 21:46:58 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux | 23:12 |
| s5fs | oven_: looks 32bit to me | 23:12 |
| mdkess | oven_, try cat /proc/cpuinfo | 23:12 |
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie- is it broke? Isn't there a simple solution to the problem? I am after all using it to reply to you-albeit in limited failsafe graphics mode. I suspect the problem arose in my ham fisted attempt to manually install it on my hard drive. But of course Ubuntu was broke before I made that attempt but that again was something that I suspect could have been easily corrected if I paid an technician to come to my haouse and repair | 23:12 |
| timmybobcat14 | it. | 23:12 |
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie- http://paste.ubuntu.com/580807/ | 23:13 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: What I mean is, what is the problem that you are currently experiencing. | 23:13 |
| Murtoc | i am not able to ssh into a computer after i shut down the apatche2 server i had on that computer | 23:13 |
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie- http://paste.ubuntu.com/580807/ | 23:13 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: Hold please. | 23:13 |
| oven_ | <mdkess> what am I looking for in those results? I know I have a 64 bit processor but I think the disc I just used might have been 32 bit accidentally | 23:13 |
| mdkess | oven_ err I mean /proc/version | 23:14 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: did you encrypt your home partition on install? | 23:14 |
| suicidolt | s5fs: what is it asking me to do? | 23:14 |
| Murtoc | no | 23:14 |
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie - ha ha ha I wouldn't know how. Unless I did so by accident. | 23:15 |

| === lance_ is now known as Guest49478 | ||
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie-how about my permissions-do you think the answer lies there? | 23:15 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: It actually asks you "do you want to encrypt your home partition?" | 23:15 |
| hihihi100 | k | 23:15 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: it's very simple but can cause problems if your hardware hates it | 23:15 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: what are the other sdb partitions doing? | 23:16 |
| mdkess | oven_ that's a 32 bit kernel, same as uname -a I guess. | 23:16 |
| pylix | how do i redirect the terminals output to a txt file? | 23:16 |
| timmybobcat14 | ozie-let me just start gparted... | 23:16 |
| oven_ | yeah alright, thanks | 23:16 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: for that matter, what is sda doing | 23:16 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: well, first off, are you certain that your hardware supports multitouch? | 23:16 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: is this a very complicated multiboot? | 23:17 |
| suicidolt | yes, it was working in windows | 23:17 |
| mdkess | oven_ if it was 64 bits, it should say something like i686_64 at the end of the uname -a line | 23:17 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: okay, but it hasn't worked in linux so far? | 23:17 |
| suicidolt | it didn't work automatically, but that seems standard | 23:17 |

| s5fs | suicidolt: okay, the article is essentially a step-by-step | 23:19 |
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie - the machine has two hard drives: sda with linux mint 10, and this drive sdb which has Ubuntu 1004 and ubuntu 9.04 and a broken ubuntu 8.04 on it. This Ubuntu 10.04 has the problem. The 9.04 works very well with no problems | 23:19 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1004 in Baz (deprecated) "UI request: baz mkdir" [Medium,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1004 | 23:19 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: you create a new file, paste the crap from the article into the file, save it, then run a command | 23:19 |
| oven_ | thanks. I'm going to burn a new disc and reinstall I guess | 23:19 |
| suicidolt | right, I guess there's 2 concerns here on my end. 1: how do I do what it's telling me to do (where do I go, etc) and 2: what is it doing, so I don't mess up my system doing something I don't understand | 23:20 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: ah, that's a better question :-D | 23:20 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: Can you mount your home partition? | 23:21 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: i'll be honest, i'm not exactly sure what is going on in the article, but i am willing to hazard a guess. | 23:21 |
| suicidolt | can we start with where I go to type in all that stuff? | 23:21 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: it appears that you are creating some sort of policy file, placing it into a specific location, and then restarting the service that will read that config and enable multitouch | 23:21 |
| Murtoc | need ssh help | 23:22 |
| ohzie | Murtoc: what's wrong? | 23:22 |
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie- gparted is telling me mounted on /home | 23:22 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: close gparted and open up a terminal | 23:22 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: pathing is in the commands already. so, go ahead and open up a terminal and then paste in the first command (the gksudo gedit /etc/hal line) | 23:22 |
| Murtoc | ever sence my friend stoped my apatche server i cant ssh into that computer | 23:23 |
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie- ok | 23:23 |
| suicidolt | ok, and that is creating the file? where is the file so I can find it later? | 23:23 |
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie-opened | 23:23 |
| suicidolt | side note -- just found out where the terminal was | 23:23 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: df -h | 23:23 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: gimme the sdb7 line | 23:23 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: here's the command, let's break it down: "gksudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi" | 23:24 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: gksudo will enable your user to run as "root" | 23:24 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: gedit is the text editor you will be using | 23:24 |
| suicidolt | so gksudo differs from sudo how? | 23:24 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: beats me, can't say i use it | 23:24 |
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie- /dev/sdb7 63G 251M 59G 1% /home | 23:25 |
| * suicidolt facepalms. | 23:25 | |
| ohzie | suicidolt: gnome toolkit | 23:25 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: i'd say you can probably safely use regular sudo | 23:25 |
| ohzie | suicidolt: it's graphical sudo | 23:25 |
| ohzie | s5fs: in terminal yes but not in run | 23:25 |
| suicidolt | what does that mean ohzie? | 23:25 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: look man, i don't admin gui systems, i don't know everything. | 23:25 |
| ohzie | suicidolt: it means pictures | 23:25 |
| suicidolt | I know what graphical means | 23:25 |
| suicidolt | what is the difference between sudo and graphical sudo? what is its application? | 23:26 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: sounds like its what you wanna do when you use "run" (alt-f2) | 23:26 |
| ohzie | suicidolt: open a terminal and run sudo gedit. Then run gksu gedit. That's the difference | 23:26 |
| timmybobcat14 | ohzie - sorry hadn't closed gparted /dev/sdb7 63G 251M 59G 1% /home | 23:26 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: no that's fine | 23:26 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: however, if you are running from a console then sudo is fine | 23:27 |
| suicidolt | ok, thanks | 23:27 |
| suicidolt | that makes sense now | 23:27 |
| suicidolt | ok | 23:27 |
| suicidolt | thanks s5fs | 23:27 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: type "cd ~" and then do "cd .." and then "ls -o" | 23:27 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: np. the last argument to the command is the full path to the file. | 23:27 |
| s5fs | suicidolt: so, assuming you create the file, paste the stuff in and it doesn't work, i think you can just delete the file and restart hal | 23:28 |

| ohzie | Counterspell: I mean it'll run, it won't break | 23:32 |

| rww | Counterspell: With PAE, which is enabled by default if it detects you need it, yes. | 23:32 |
| Counterspell | ohzie, that's what i thought, why is 64-bit "recommended"? | 23:32 |
| rww | !pae | 23:32 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 23:32 |
| ohzie | Counterspell: so you can use all your ram | 23:32 |
| ohzie | Counterspell: Duh. :-P | 23:32 |
| rww | Counterspell: 32-bit is recommended on the Downloads page because a lot more consumer computers support 32-bit than 64-bit. | 23:33 |
| Counterspell | ohzie, no i mean 32-bit lol sorry | 23:33 |
| rww | Counterspell: if your computer works with 64-bit, get 64-bit. | 23:33 |
| Counterspell | i see | 23:33 |

| Counterspell | thanks for the info | 23:33 |

| ohzie | Counterspell: not all apps have working 64 bit builds. | 23:33 |
| Counterspell | but i am having trouble with Wacom drivers | 23:33 |
| ohzie | Counterspell: don't switch to 32 unless you have problems | 23:33 |
| ohzie | Counterspell: and even then, there are ways to run the 32 bit apps in a chroot | 23:33 |
| ohzie | Counterspell: with 32 bit libraries | 23:33 |
| ohzie | Counterspell: and if you're willing to put up with that, it's so much better for your system to run 64 bit. | 23:34 |
| Counterspell | which Xorg comes with 10.10? | 23:34 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: do me a favor | 23:34 |

| timmybobcat14 | ohzie- yes still in home | 23:34 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: yes | 23:35 |
| ohzie | timmybobcat14: the lost and found is normal because you've set your home aside as a separate partition | 23:35 |
