| ubottu | jt13: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 00:06 |

| jt13 | Jordan_U, anyway. I am following the link you posted. and nowhere does it say to chroot | 00:07 |
| itaylor57 | !ff4 | bp0 | 00:07 |
| ubottu | bp0: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. To install it, add the PPA repository with the following command « sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade » | 00:07 |
| Neroon | anyone here could give some tips regarding a new wlan router (winxp works, ubuntu doesnt,)? | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | jt13: And if you read the link (and what you PMd me) you will see: Your system should be ready to be chroot'd into, sudo chroot /mnt | 00:07 |

| kunal | how to manage remote web server, which can auto-start file-zilla client at start up?? | 00:12 |

| phoenixsampras | how to install skype via ubuntu software center?? HELP!!! SOSSS | 00:12 |
| th0r | pyrophelia: well, you can use ifconfig to force the new ip. And if the interface is configured properly it should pick up the new ip at reboot | 00:12 |
| aeon-ltd | phoenixsampras: search and install it | 00:13 |
| pyrophelia | th0r: I can't reboot this system. and i've used ifconfig to try to change it but setting the interface down then brining it back up keeps the old information | 00:13 |
| Neroon | need some ideas regarding a new wlan router (can't connect with ubuntu, winxp works) | 00:13 |
| itaylor57 | phoenixsampras: what do you get when you type which skype in terminal? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | phoenixsampras: did you think to check the skype website.... | 00:14 |
| clarezoe | I have a problem with gimp, I hope anyone can help, there is no one in the gimp channel :( I cannot set the color to white, instead it's greenish. Really annoying, I deleted the .gimp.2.7 folder to reset all the setting, still the same problem. I don't really know how to search for this problem. | 00:14 |
| pyrophelia | th0r: ifconfig doesn't read /etc/network/interfaces. there is another command that does but I can't remember it | 00:14 |
| th0r | pyrophelia: then the interface isn;t configured properly. Been a long time, but it used to be stored in /etc/network/ if I remember correctly | 00:14 |
| pyrophelia | kunal: you mean ftp server? filezilla would be pretty useless on port 80 | 00:14 |
| exutux | pyrophelia: ifup ifdown | 00:14 |
| pyrophelia | exutux: almost positive I tried that, but I got some weird message x "package is not installed" | 00:15 |
| pyrophelia | let me check again | 00:15 |
| pyrophelia | th0r: it is, i've used this config many times | 00:15 |
| th0r | pyrophelia: ifconfig doesn't read that file, but you can use it to force an ip from the command line | 00:15 |
| pyrophelia | ah I see what you mean | 00:15 |

| adiman | hi...just want to ask..how to install free games to ubntu | 00:18 |
| clarezoe | Neroon, thanks but the mode is set to rgb | 00:18 |
| th0r | adiman: either software centre or synaptic | 00:18 |
| clarezoe | and the drawing brush and eraser don't work either | 00:19 |
| snozberry | @adiman you can use the software center to browse by category in the later ubuntu editions and select games | 00:19 |
| Neroon | clarezoe: and any other color is just fine? is it a new image or do you edit an existing one? | 00:19 |
| Neroon | clarezoe: hm ... | 00:19 |
| fishscene | Is there an Ubuntu LTSP channel? | 00:19 |
| adiman | whre can i find the software centre or synaptic? | 00:20 |
| clarezoe | Neroon, I'm adding a white text with a black background, it is a new image | 00:20 |

| clarezoe | Neroon, I tried also draw something on an existing image, nothing happens, but when I quit, it asks to save changes. | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | adiman: software centre is at the bottom of the applications menu | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | fishscene: this is the place for ALL ubuntu issues | 00:21 |
| Neroon | clarezoe: strange. so no matter what image you open and try to edit, it doesnt do anything but aks for a save due to changes? | 00:22 |
| fishscene | Actually, I just realized my question was better suited for ubuntu-server since my LTSP question is more server-related than single-client. Thank you though. :) | 00:22 |
| YankDownUnder | fishscene, #ubuntu-server | 00:23 |
| adiman | ok.. i got it.thanks U.. | 00:23 |
| fishscene | correct. | 00:23 |
| tripelb | I have a question. So I switched user into my guest account to check that it worked, Ub10.04 - then I chose log out... and the screen went blank. I had to hardboot AFAIK to get a "living breathing system" up. What did I do? I wanted to log that user out and go back to "me". Could I have recovered? I had no cursor, no anything. Please advise, sincerely, A_User | 00:23 |
| clarezoe | Neroon, exactly, but I do can add text to the image, but the color is strange, always has some green in it | 00:23 |
| smiley7 | hey guys,how do you add the shutdown menu to the Main Gnome menu ? | 00:23 |
| YankDownUnder | tripelb, Sounds like a graphics driver & GDM issue mate.... | 00:24 |
| icewaterman | ActionParsnip: i dont know what exactly changed, but my sound issue disappeared. its not any change to alsa-base.conf etc. | 00:24 |
| fishscene | smiley7: system > Preferences > Main Menu. You can make a shut down command | 00:24 |
| smiley7 | whats the command ? | 00:25 |
| clarezoe | Neroon, http://paste.ubuntu.com/584054/ this is the output from the console, but I don't think it's relevant to gimp | 00:25 |
| === SpitfireWP_ is now known as SpitfireWP | ||

| icewaterman | ActionParsnip: thx for help, sorry i cannot tell what really fixed the problem, since i've undone every change i made (and rebooted afterwards9 | 00:25 |
| mickster04 | smiley7: remove the button from the top right of your panel? | 00:26 |
| tripelb | YankDownUnder, what's gdm? I've been using this for months and months. This is the only problem I have, signing out of the guest account. I can leave it going (as I have) and it's fine. So that kind of doesnt sound like a graphics driver to me. If so tlel me how you figure it. Thanks | 00:26 |
| tripelb | tell | 00:26 |
| smiley7 | no i am moveing the menu to the bottom | 00:26 |
| * tripelb thinks GDM (gol darn machine) | 00:27 | |
| tripelb | smiley7, I like my menu on the top. (like so?) | 00:27 |

| meek | oh boy i cant wait, i knen what i was getting my slef in to | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | lasha: use the mozilla ppa | 00:39 |
| Jordan_U | !fx4 | lasha | 00:39 |

| coz_ | meek, ok there are two ways of dealing with this however,, for a better explanation you might want to go to #radeon channel and ask that is where I got the info for my one client with the same issue,,,it is an overscan issue | 00:39 |
| ActionParsnip | meek: what was the last chip you had (I believe you said you had upgraded) | 00:39 |
| meek | how can i get rid of grub from xp, its not giveing me the option to boot from cd | 00:39 |
| lasha | nice ubottu :D | 00:39 |
| meek | thanks coz_ | 00:40 |
| coz_ | meek, it can be dealt with either with settings on the tv or with xrandr command I believe | 00:40 |
| lasha | thank you guys | 00:40 |
| coz_ | meek, probably better with tv settings but check with them for details :) | 00:40 |

| Netizen1993 | Hi all.. got a small situation... | 00:43 |
| meek | would i have to install my bios again? | 00:44 |
| lasha | ActionParsnip: ok thank you :) | 00:44 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip: similar to your request if you feel it needs improving I'll edit it. | 00:44 |
| coz_ | meek, but if the cd is not showing boot from cd when you see the little keyboard logo at the bottom of the live cd ,,, hit enter,,, it should give a choice | 00:44 |
| Netizen1993 | Ubuntu is installing, on my system fine.. however it's detecting and using a software raid.. which I don't want it to do. | 00:44 |
| Netizen1993 | is there anyway I can disable it? | 00:44 |
| meek | i cant boot into linux right now becuase of the grapihics issue, thats why im trying to reslove thru windows | 00:44 |
| sevith | throw it at the wall | 00:44 |
| sevith | teach it a lesson | 00:44 |
| Netizen1993 | or pass some option during install not to activate it? | 00:44 |
| ActionParsnip | lasha: or you can use the daily build and you will get a seperate browser, but remove the ppa after installing the browser or it will upgrade 3.6.whatever to the daily as well | 00:44 |
| kad__ | heys!! if route is mark as 16 in RIP it enter the: Invalid time!! the Holddown time will start from here so if it receive better metric route, it will be valid again before the flush time? am i right ... thanks | 00:45 |
| coz_ | meek, ah mmm then you will have to set the tv settings although I know in windows this may not be an issue | 00:45 |
| lasha | ActionParsnip: ok I think it already installed successfully though | 00:45 |
| ActionParsnip | IdleOne: seems fine, possibly could add the daily build which installs a seperate firefox (I hate firefox) | 00:45 |
| kad__ | sorry wrong channel | 00:45 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip: daily build would be a little to buggy maybe to have new users install | 00:46 |
| itaylor57 | ActionParsnip: I was wondering what the fuss today was about ff4, using chromium I forgot about ff | 00:46 |
| meek | coz_ is there anyway to get rid of grub from windows? | 00:46 |
| coz_ | I hate firefox 4 | 00:46 |
| smiley7 | ok,i installed Gnomenu ...but i dont see in on the menu... | 00:46 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip: rather stick to stable but you can run it by other ops and see what they think | 00:46 |
| francesc1 | meek: grub isnt part of windows | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | IdleOne: true but it has the advantage of leaving the old one. I guess its not hard to rmove the ppa then reinstall browser | 00:47 |
| pcpower | meek: fixboot/fixmbr ? | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | itaylor57: same :D | 00:47 |
| francesc1 | pcpower: u are right | 00:47 |
| meek | or is there a simple way to install from a cd | 00:47 |
| coz_ | meek, ah well possibly but not sure you may get more info on the #grub channel perhaps... I dual boot here as well... separate drives not separate partitions... | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | itaylor57: daily build ppa here. Its spiffy | 00:47 |
| francesc1 | meek: you have to repair the mbr | 00:47 |
| sevith | i duel boot sep partitions | 00:47 |
| coz_ | meek, simple way to install grub from live cd you mean? | 00:47 |
| sevith | What did you do meek? | 00:47 |
| giiker | ActionParsnip: can you tell me how can I do that in Chromiun 'cause I haven't found anything, only found steps for Firefox... | 00:47 |
| gorfex | @meek: download easyBCD for windows, and write new windows MB | 00:48 |
| gorfex | MBR | 00:48 |
| meek | im trying to fresh install everything to 64 bit, but grub doesnt give me the option to boot from cd or anything, and i cant get into unbutu right no | 00:48 |
| sevith | So when you boot | 00:48 |
| francesc1 | grub wont to that for you... you need to acess the bboot menu before grub | 00:48 |
| sevith | your given a grub shell? | 00:48 |
| coz_ | meek, I am not sure I understand why the live cd is not giving option to boot from it | 00:48 |
| coz_ | meek, do you see a keyboard logo when you boot from cd? | 00:49 |
| coz_ | meek, at the bottom of the screen? | 00:49 |
| meek | it boots bios then grub ..well i have 10 sec to press esc to bring up grub otherwise it boots xp | 00:49 |
| gorfex | the boot from cd option is usually given by your BIOS.. or am i wrong? | 00:49 |
| francesc1 | gorfex: you are 100% correct | 00:49 |
| coz_ | meek, then check in the bios if the cdrom is first boot device | 00:49 |
| meek | cdrom is boot first | 00:50 |
| meek | just not working | 00:50 |
| coz_ | meek, mmm | 00:50 |
| francesc1 | meek: what type of computer is it | 00:50 |
| meek | custom | 00:50 |
| coz_ | meek, go back into the bios,,,switch around boot devices and then switch it back and save | 00:50 |
| francesc1 | meek: so u want to install 64 bit on it... is it compatible | 00:51 |
| coz_ | francesc1, ah good thinking :) | 00:51 |
| meek | yea it is | 00:51 |
| coz_ | meek, are you on windows or linux right now | 00:51 |
| meek | im on windows | 00:51 |

| Neroon | anyone here could got some tips regarding a new wlan router (winxp works, ubuntu doesnt)? | 00:52 |
| francesc1 | use untebootin | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Neroon: the router is moot | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Neroon: its the wifi adapter you need to worry about | 00:52 |
| fishscene | Neroon: The problem is most likely with the driver on your computer under Ubuntu | 00:52 |
| giiker | ActionParsnip: thanx, I will read it now! | 00:53 |
| Neroon | ActionParsnip: All i can you is, the thing worked with the old router | 00:53 |
| meek | http://pastebin.com/expCEuk1 | 00:53 |
| Neroon | ActionParsnip: +tell | 00:53 |
| meek | thats my dxdaig if that helps atall | 00:53 |
| meek | do you think i can run 64 | 00:53 |
| coz_ | meek, I am concerned that the cdrom is not being picked up as first boot device... have you checked for bios updates for that motherboard now that you are on windows? | 00:53 |
| Neroon | fishscene: nope, can't be. worked with the old router (got exchanged) | 00:53 |
| fishscene | Neroon: But it works when you boot to XP? | 00:54 |
| smiley7 | i installed GnoMenu...but everything is still the same | 00:54 |
| francesc1 | meek: i really think its just ur cd | 00:54 |
| meek | yea everything is up to date, just built this like 2 months ago | 00:54 |
| francesc1 | meek: try booting from a usb | 00:54 |
| meek | yea me to francsec, im doing usb now | 00:54 |
| Neroon | fishscene: it did (not at that laptop, since it was 2 hours ago at a friend | 00:54 |
| meek | ill let you guys know how it goes | 00:54 |
| meek | thanks for the help | 00:54 |
| francesc1 | meek: i am sure that s the prob | 00:54 |
| guedesav | terry, I did apt-get upgrade | 00:54 |
| coz_ | meek, its apparenlty a 64 bit compatible system | 00:55 |
| francesc1 | meek: i had the same prob with my live cd... now i just use usbs | 00:55 |
| francesc1 | coz_: yea it is ... | 00:55 |
| guedesav | Now it's worse: it not only doesn't detect my input devices, it stopped working with my wireless card. Any further suggestions? | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Neroon: then you need to associate with the new. Routers use strong standards set by the ISO foundation. If it doesn't then it isn't a router | 00:55 |
| francesc1 | coz_: thats why i am thinking its the actual media | 00:55 |
| fishscene | Neroon: Unless the router is configured wrong or somehow corrupted, the problem is still most likely on the computer-side. | 00:55 |
| charlesno | Hi, I am running 9.10, and today Rhythmbox stopped working. I click the icon and nothing happens. I've tried removing and re-installing to no avail. | 00:55 |
| ozatomic | on my hardy install apt installed php5.2 how can i get 5.3? | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Neroon: maybe you need to configure the router some | 00:55 |
| Neroon | fishscene: and the weird thing is, 2 laptops didn't work anymore (both ubuntu, one kde, one xfce) | 00:55 |
| coz_ | francesc1, most likely | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | charlesno: run it from a terminal, the output may give clues | 00:56 |
| coz_ | meek, you could also try the minimal install cd only megs very little chance of download corruption or even burn coruption | 00:56 |
| francesc1 | coz_: weill i ll guess we will have to wait and see :p | 00:56 |
| charlesno | do i just type "rhythmbox" in terminal? | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | charlesno: i suggest you upgrade soon, Karmic support ends next month | 00:56 |
| coz_ | meek, only 12 megs rather | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | charlesno: yes | 00:56 |
| fishscene | Neroon: Are you able to access the router configuration page? | 00:56 |
| Neroon | ActionParsnip: The prob is with 2 Ubuntu Laptops (one kde, one xfce) | 00:56 |
| Neroon | fishscene: well not now, but yes | 00:56 |
| charlesno | ActionP | 00:56 |
| charlesno | one moment, testing | 00:56 |
| coz_ | ok too many cooks... I think I will break here :) | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Neroon: can you access the config page like fishscene asked? Can you ping the internal IP? Can you connect to the SSID? Can you ping 8.8.8.8? Can you ping wwww.bbc.co.uk? | 00:57 |
| pytho | Hi guys, I've been trying to install ubuntu on my old laptop for awhile now. I'm running on a IBM thinkpad a20m, a really old version.

| meek | thanks coz, im gonna go the usb route, i think my cdrom is dieing on me anyways | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | pytho: use F11 or F12 and you will then be able to choose the boot media | 00:57 |
| charlesno | ActionParsnip: After typing in terminal, the window pops up but it is frozen. Terminal tells me the following: ** (rhythmbox:3888): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed | 00:58 |

| b1lly | is there a good online doc. or beginners guide for ubuntu | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | pytho: I suggest you run Lubuntu on it, or something lighter like puppy or xpud | 00:59 |
| guedesav | So, apparently the other person who tried to help me is ignoring me. Well, here's a question: if I do dist-upgrade using the repository of an older distro, will it downgrade my Ubuntu instead of upgrading?

| uofm49426 | if i brainstorm would cut much fat or only a few mgs | 01:57 |

| guedesav | Hi, I came here earlier because I updates my xserver-xorg packages, and then my Ubuntu stopped detecting my input devices unless I disconnected them and then reconnected them(or used modprobe to unload and reload evdev), so terry told me to do apt-get upgrade. As I feared, it didn't work and now my wireless card doesn't work and KDM also doesn't start the session(when I manage to input my password, it just goes back to the console). I did | 02:04 |
| guedesav | dist-upgrade to Lucid, but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me? | 02:04 |
| |Long| | can someone help me with geforce 8400gs nivida update driver plz? | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | vol7ron: You're welcome. | 02:05 |
| vol7ron | I don't know why VMWare can't get Desktop Effects to work when VirtualBox can | 02:05 |
| Jordan_U | guedesav: How exactly did you upgrade to lucid, and from what release? | 02:05 |
| guedesav | from Intrepid, I used the lucid repositories and did apt-get dist-upgrade | 02:06 |
| vol7ron | Do you guys recommend any backup software for Ubuntu... the plan is to go from this virtual disk to a physical one | 02:06 |
| guedesav | but that's not the important part, I really need to fix this xserver-xorg error, and upgrading really isn't solving. | 02:06 |
| vol7ron | I would hate to have to install all my programs/settings again (esp Apache/Postgres) | 02:06 |
| Jordan_U | guedesav: That isn't expected to work (in fact the documentation very explicitly states that attempting such a thing *will* cause severe breakage). | 02:07 |
| digirak | hey my indic onscreen keyboard doesnt show up | 02:07 |
| guedesav | well, that's what terry kept telling me to do | 02:07 |
| uofm49426 | when i go from ati 4000 hd or 6000 hd i have to edit xorg manual or go from 3000 to 4350 | 02:07 |
| guedesav | and since no one could give me an answer, I thought that'd be worth a try. Turns out it wasn't, and I can't revert the changes. Any suggestions? | 02:07 |
| uofm49426 | or is there a easyer why | 02:08 |
| khaleel5000 | hi, I am writting thesis on oil industry (financail and business perf of 1 specific company) Is there any good programm in which i can write my "notes" (may be has support for some 'corss-referencing' etc? ) [frankly its my first experience, any good program /app for writting thesis notes /stuff (keep track of all the data) ? | 02:08 |
| guedesav | Jordan_U: that's all? | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | guedesav: Looking at the backlog terry never told you to change your repositories and apt-get dist-upgrade. At this point you pretty much have to re-install. | 02:11 |
| guedesav | okay | 02:11 |
| guedesav | but he told me to upgrade | 02:11 |

| ghostswin | hello | 02:12 |
| vol7ron | Jordan_U: if you I removed that xorg.conf, what does it default to? there's an xorg.conf.failsafe (my guess) and xorg.conf-backup-<dates> | 02:12 |
| Jordan_U | vol7ron: It defaults to autoconfiguration. | 02:12 |
| ghostswin | what are you talking about? | 02:12 |
| guedesav | Jordan_U: let me try this again. I don't need to upgrade. I never needed to upgrade. I had a problem after upgrading my xserver-xorg packages and was looking for help. In fact, what I really need is to downgrade back. I'd reinstall the 8.10 system, but my CD reader is busted, so I can't. Is there any other way I can do that? | 02:13 |
| vol7ron | Jordan_U: do you know where that is? I'm trying to do a file comparison to see what I did that changed - the most I see is nVidia in the "Device" section, but I don't have a config to compare to | 02:13 |
| ac7ss | guedesav: you could download the iso and mount it directly. | 02:14 |
| Jordan_U | guedesav: 1: You can't downgrade 2: 8.10 hasn't been supported for years now so 3: Your only real option is to install 10.04 or 10.10 | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | guedesav: could use usb | 02:14 |
| guedesav | and how would I install it? | 02:14 |
| guedesav | from inside Ubuntu? | 02:14 |
| Jordan_U | guedesav: Download the iso, burn it to a CD, boot from said CD. | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | guedesav: use the iso with unetbootin. You can use intrepid but there is zero support for it and zero updates | 02:15 |
| uofm49426 | hey not really a ubuntu support question but were did shoutcase go to from the new vlc | 02:15 |
| guedesav | Jordan_U: did you miss the part I said my CD reader is busted? I can't read from a CD, let alone burn into one! | 02:15 |
| xangua | uofm49426: shoutcast plugin was removed i believe, legal issues | 02:15 |
| Jordan_U | guedesav: Do you have a flash drive? | 02:15 |
| guedesav | Jordan_U: yes. | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | guedesav: you can use the CD with unetbootin in another system, or make an ISO of the CD and transfer it to another system to make the live usb | 02:16 |
| vol7ron | =\ | 02:16 |
| uofm49426 | the channels are open urls why would they care | 02:16 |
| Jordan_U | guedesav: Do you have an up to date Ubuntu or Windows install you can use to make a bootable USB containing Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10? | 02:16 |
| neo_ | @ jordan_u...u can use wubi tooo | 02:17 |
| guedesav | Jordan_U: yes I'll try unetbootin | 02:18 |
| Jordan_U | guedesav: Note that the unetbootin from Ubuntu 8.10 will *not* work for making a bootable 10.04 or 10.10 USB. | 02:19 |

| chalcedony | does anyone have a favorite ftp daemon for 10.04? | 02:21 |

| Jordan_U | speedrunnerG55: The drive will repair what it can automatically. If you've gotten to the point that you're getting read errors then you probably want to get a new drive. | 02:38 |

| Jordan_U | speedrunnerG55: Then tell whoever owns the computer to backup any important data as soon as possible and get a new hard drive. What problem / error message are you actually seeing? | 02:46 |

| tamara_ | thanks | 02:57 |
| will_ | ohsix: In general. The performance for the Intel IGP's has been going downhill since 9.04 anyway though. | 02:57 |
| will_ | ohsix: The change to UXA has made a massive performance impact on gaming/video performance for these specific IGP's. | 02:58 |
| ohsix | i've got 2 of them | 02:58 |
| will_ | ohsix: If i had a way to revert to XAA i would do it. But i haven't checked into the new way to insert a xorg.conf into the installation yet. | 02:59 |
| ohsix | heh | 02:59 |
| will_ | ohsix: Sure, i had some extremely intense artifacts at times, but i learned how to fix those issues and get it running properly. | 03:00 |
| Jordan_U | speedrunnerG55: Does disk utility rate that there are too many damaged sectors? A few is normal. | 03:00 |

| knightrage | uh oh. | 03:05 |
| ohsix | will_: pulse doesn't preclude all those things, you just have to set it up to account for your abnormal use-case | 03:05 |
| karan | how to get back the gnome panel??!?!? | 03:06 |
| ohsix | for one, you can have pulse use jack as a sink | 03:06 |
| speedrunnerG55 | it says there is 1 | 03:06 |
| KB1JWQ | karan: Reinstall what was removed; it should be enumerated in your dpkg logs in /var/log | 03:06 |
| jack_ | >_< | 03:06 |
| will_ | ohsix: Pulse is new to me, i prefer the classic ALSA setup to be honest, so that is what i am using. | 03:06 |
| ohsix | it's dumb but you can do it, and jackdbus can also make pulse get out of the way when it is running | 03:06 |
| speedrunnerG55 | its the first time ive seen a bad sector | 03:06 |

| will_ | ohsix: I would like to get Pulse working to my advantage, but i prefer the classic setup from Hardy. I decided to regress to that point. | 03:08 |

| Jordan_U | gbear14275: Follow this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 03:08 |
| will_ | ohsix: So far it is completely stable, i haven't had a single issue yet, i am still testing on it to see if there are going to be any issues. | 03:08 |

| nit-wit | gbear14275, you running grub2 | 03:09 |
| ohsix | will_: unfortunately there are a lot of drawbacks, stuff you probably don't even care to notice, but drawbacks nonetheless | 03:09 |
| gbear14275 | yeah | 03:09 |
| will_ | ohsix: Oh i'm sure there are alot. But you're right, probably stuff i have never payed attention to in the first place, haha. | 03:10 |
| nit-wit | gbear14275, lets make this easiest run this script and pastebin the text.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 03:10 |

| Ja23 | Yo, why does the "Shared" partition of my HD sometimes not show up? | 03:12 |
| Ja23 | but then I go to "Places" -"That HD" and it shows up? | 03:12 |
| Dice-Man | Ja23: you need to mount them | 03:13 |
| Dice-Man | man mount | 03:13 |
| sphinxxx | hey i'm trying to recover data off a mac hard drive, i loaded ubuntu off a usb stick, its showing the home folder as empty how is that possible? | 03:13 |
| Ja23 | Why doesn't it do that automatically, it used to? | 03:13 |
| Dice-Man | Ja23: cat /etc/fstab | 03:13 |

| Dice-Man | sorry | 03:14 |
| Ja23 | I don't understand that answer, what do those commands do? | 03:14 |
| ohsix | sphinxxx: you might have to disable the journal to mount it, or have it ignore it; not sure, but at least it's a direction to go :P | 03:14 |
| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: OSX puts user's home directories in /Users/, not /home/. | 03:14 |
| Dice-Man | Ja23: i think i'm tired and i just give half answer | 03:14 |
| Ja23 | LOL | 03:14 |

| sphinxxx | ohsix: i got it mounted and i can see the library and applications folders and some other stuff, but cannot find any documents | 03:15 |
| azam | any luck getting ubuntu on hp slate? is it possible? | 03:15 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: i right clicked the drive and clicked mount | 03:15 |
| ohsix | sphinxxx: couldn't say; haven't had much opportunity to look at those filesystems in that scenario | 03:15 |
| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: Can you pastebin the output of "ls /path/to/OSX/mountpoint/"? | 03:15 |

| sphinxxx | k one sec | 03:16 |
| KB1JWQ | azam: Try it and see. :-) | 03:16 |
| Ja23 | I refreshed devices, I see no "flags".. | 03:16 |
| azam | I will try it sometime | 03:16 |
| azam | if it goes well i will tell you guys | 03:17 |
| azam | Cause frankly since Ubuntu is a very lightweight OS it shouldn't slow down the slate | 03:17 |
| alliche | helo | 03:18 |
| ActionParsnip | azam: if you use lxde+openbox instead of gnome+compiz it's even lighter | 03:18 |
| azam | ActionParsnip, I hope I find out about that someday :P | 03:19 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: in file explorer when i hover over "macintosh hd" it shows "/media/Macintosh HD", if i ls that in terminal it says cannot find path | 03:19 |

| alliche | by | 03:20 |
| nit-wit | falloree, what happens when you run in the terminal sudo apt-get update | 03:21 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: i think i may need to some package to read the file system, i went into gparted and it has a red exclamation next to the partition | 03:21 |
| sphinxxx | but its strange because i can see folders and files in it.. | 03:21 |
| falloree | nit-wit, it says E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 03:21 |
| falloree | E: Unable to lock the list directory | 03:21 |

| nit-wit | falloree, do you have any thing open but the terminal | 03:22 |
| Ja23 | Hello everyone, I really need to expand both my linux and windows partitions on my dual boot computer and shrink my shared partition. How possible is this? | 03:24 |
| falloree | nit-wit, i had a failed "distribution upgrade" window open, closed it and the update ran | 03:24 |
| zz_ | ? | 03:24 |
| nit-wit | falloree, you can only have one download device open at once | 03:25 |
| falloree | nit-wit, yeah, but it only downloaded 1.3mb of stuff, and the list that the update manager showed was much bigger (150mb) | 03:25 |
| falloree | when i open the update manager there's still a ton of stuff it wants to download, but it tells me only a partial upgrade can be done | 03:26 |
| nit-wit | falloree, they are loading the same stuff from the same place i would not even look at the size | 03:26 |

| nit-wit | falloree, not knowing what you have added and what or isn't ticked on as far as regular repos makes this kind of difficult. Having a partial this late in Lucid is rather strange | 03:29 |

| Ja23 | Jordan/nit-wit/ac7ss | I have been googling this and just want to make sure, it is possible to resize all the partitions of my one partitioned HD. | 03:31 |
| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: Most likely: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ | 03:32 |
| Ja23 | ? | 03:32 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: bash history is your friend | 03:32 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: ~/.bash_history | 03:32 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: configurable in your bashrc, google has many details :) | 03:32 |
| Jordan_U | Ja23: Yes. Are you having a particular problem? | 03:33 |
| ac7ss | ja23: yes. | 03:33 |
| Ja23 | I have no room on my windows or linux partitions! | 03:33 |

| Ja23 | I have lots of space on my shared partition | 03:33 |
| Guest89862 | or span it somehow? | 03:33 |
| Guest89862 | oh | 03:34 |
| Guest89862 | ok | 03:34 |
| Ja23 | =) | 03:34 |
| Guest89862 | you can use a cd to resize em | 03:34 |
| Guest89862 | gparted | 03:34 |
| ac7ss | critical_max: I wanted a place to dump info to a SSH terminal. 'cat /dev/pts/4 >>Notes.txt' works great! | 03:34 |
| Guest89862 | bootable | 03:34 |
| Ja23 | Yeah, it's very confusing to me. When I resize the large partition how do I move that free space over to the linux and windows partitions? | 03:34 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: i'm not sure that is what you are looking for but that's the way the bash shell logs. thing is, it should be actual shell commands or you'll get all kinds of noise. why not use a text editor like nano? | 03:35 |
| Guest89862 | if you make it smaller you can add space to the other ones | 03:35 |
| mrdeb | how do you upgrade gnome 2 to 3 in 1010 | 03:35 |

| critical_max | ac7ss: ahh, so just need periodic dumps of the whole contents? cool trick. | 03:35 |
| Ja23 | Do I actually need to make it smaller in gparted, not just put a command on the stack in gparted? | 03:35 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: i tried sudo mount /dev/sdb /mac/ and it said mount point /mac/ does not exists, isn't it supposed to create that mount point though? | 03:36 |

| ac7ss | critical_max: I want something auto saved. the cat command works fine. | 03:37 |

| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: its showing the Users folder, but i dont see that in the file explorer, why? | 03:39 |

| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: Might as well do the whole drive, the EFI partition should be very small anyway. | 03:45 |

| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: ok so after copying the entire drive what would i do? | 03:48 |
| critical_max | hoho: cpu usage depends on cores, you might see a load of 1 per core under heavy load on a recent system | 03:48 |
| critical_max | hoho: your bottleneck is hard drive speed | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | critical_max: and network speed / load at time of rsync | 03:48 |

| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: After copying the entire disk with a utility called GNU ddrescue you should be able to mount the disk image and hopefully see more files (GNU ddrescue is a tool for getting as much data as possible from a damaged disk). | 03:49 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: i grab that from the ubuntu software center? | 03:49 |

| hoho | grendal-prime : I am just worried since I run a high traffic website on it | 03:54 |
| ohsix | grendal-prime: sometimes touching all the files in the set on both sides is undesirable, and you need lower latency between syncs, so it's not for everything | 03:54 |
| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: You do *NOT* want to disable journaling on that drive. Don't even think about it. You don't want to write anything to that drive. | 03:54 |
| critical_max | StepNjump: if it appears there, selecting it for the first time will mount it. Then it should appear in Nautilus. | 03:55 |
| sphinxxx | oh ok | 03:55 |
| StepNjump | critical_max, no nothing under places in Nautilus. Well, not at the first level anyway | 03:55 |
| chaorain | Does anyone know how to "Roll up" a window or how to configure it? | 03:55 |
| critical_max | StepNjump: it would be somewhere between Computer and your optical drive in that menu | 03:55 |
| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: If you're running from a LiveCD you'll need to enable the universe repository to get GNU ddrescue. Edit > Software Sources... in Software Center. | 03:56 |
| StepNjump | desktop, filesystem, network, System reserved, acer, linux, trash, documents, music, pictures, video and download.. That's all I have critical_max | 03:56 |

| StepNjump | critical_max, I don't have an optical drive | 03:57 |
| StepNjump | Yes nautilus Th0r | 03:57 |
| critical_max | StepNjump: Ahh, you're running an ASUS netbook preload. I don't know how those are set up. Have you checked their help files yet? | 03:57 |
| th0r | StepNjump: no...you need to look at the PLACES menu at the top of the screen, next to Applications | 03:57 |

| critical_max | StepNjump: that's where i'd start. | 03:58 |
| MrStryker | how do i use screen the program, it refers me to byobu | 03:58 |
| critical_max | chaorain: last time I used compiz, those details were configured per engine | 03:59 |
| baby | hi | 03:59 |
| critical_max | chaorain: you have the compiz-config whatsit app? | 03:59 |
| StepNjump | Ok critical_max, I will try that | 03:59 |
| baby | iopu8 | 03:59 |
| StepNjump | th0r, nothing there | 03:59 |
| baby | . | 03:59 |
| StepNjump | What am I looking for? NTFS label? | 03:59 |
| baby | hello | 03:59 |
| chaorain | critical_max: yeah, havn't found it yet | 03:59 |
| dwarder | how do i enable site for apache? | 04:00 |
| baby | who are you? | 04:00 |
| dwarder | e2ensite ? | 04:00 |
| dwarder | i dont' have it | 04:00 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: i enabled the universe repository but still can't find ddrescue | 04:00 |
| critical_max | StepNjump: they show in gnome's Places menu, labelled by their partition size, on a stock Ubuntu 10.04 | 04:00 |
| baby | hello | 04:00 |
| critical_max | StepNjump: I strongly suspect yours is configured differently from stock | 04:00 |
| ActionParsnip | hi baby | 04:00 |
| MrStryker | baby, why are you asking who iopu8 is? | 04:00 |
| digirak | any idea what will have this package | 04:01 |
| digirak | No package 'gtk+-2.0' found | 04:01 |
| StepNjump | critical_max, I'm not sure if this is gnome.. I think I'm running the other desktop, not gnome but I could be wrong | 04:01 |
| critical_max | digirak: libgtk probably | 04:01 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: nevermind, found it | 04:01 |
| StepNjump | critical_max I'm on 10.10 32 bits for netbooks | 04:01 |
| critical_max | StepNjump: xfce? | 04:01 |
| digirak | critical_max: ok thanks | 04:01 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: where is it located once i installed it? | 04:01 |
| dwarder | anyone uses apache? | 04:02 |
| ac7ss | I am using the command 'powersave-selector' and it just sits there, do I have to run it bg or just kill it. | 04:02 |
| StepNjump | xfce? critical_max | 04:02 |
| StepNjump | critical_max, no it's stock | 04:02 |
| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: It's a terminal based application. | 04:03 |
| StepNjump | how do I know which desktop I am running whether it's gnome or something else? | 04:03 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: thanks | 04:03 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: when i run ddrescue from terminal it says i need to sudo apt-get gddrescue, but i just installed it from software center?? | 04:03 |
| ohsix | theres ddrescue and gddrescue, one has a command called dd_rescue and the other has ddrescue, it's great! | 04:04 |
| critical_max | sl33k_: you're welcome, there's a PyPI website too for a nicer browsing interface | 04:05 |
| critical_max | StepNjump: xfce is a stock desktop for some ubuntu, I really don't know anything about the Acer setups so I'm afraid I can't be of much help | 04:05 |
| dwarder | i have apache2.2-common installed, why don't i have e2ensite? | 04:05 |
| StepNjump | critical_max should I download ntfs-3g? I think it suggests that on the web | 04:05 |
| brophat | is it possible for a printer driver to work with 32 bit ubuntu but not work for 64 bit ubuntu? | 04:05 |
| critical_max | StepNjump: because it should "just work" on most ubuntu, I think you have something else going on and you should refer to the acer docs or forum | 04:06 |
| StepNjump | but how can I know what desktop I run and get the version in terminal? | 04:06 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: you have whatever acer preloads | 04:06 |
| evan_ | hey folks, working on a friends computer and having some driver issues i think | 04:06 |
| lyalhy | ?? | 04:06 |
| StepNjump | I know, I used to have it in my previous ubuntu desktop available critical_max | 04:06 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: their docs/forum should have your question as a FAQ | 04:07 |
| grendal-prime | ohsix...how much data do you move in one day... | 04:07 |
| sphinxxx | why won't the command fsck.hfsplus work | 04:07 |
| * dwarder thinks that he has an invisible cloak on him | 04:07 | |
| evan_ | can't get his wireless up and running. he's got an internal card and a usb card and i can't get either one to work | 04:07 |
| digirak | any idea where I would find unique-1.0 | 04:07 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: good luck, and indeed maybe you need to install ntfs3g, i just don't want to tell you that when I don't know the system | 04:07 |
| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: As I said you need *GNU* ddrescue. | 04:07 |
| MrStryker | StepNjump, under the system menu, does it say 'About GNOME' | 04:07 |
| grendal-prime | i literally move 240 GIGS a day with it.Thats text..over 6000 files per min..wich when it comes to offloading fillers becomes very important. | 04:08 |
| grendal-prime | and that is only one data feed i have to maitain. | 04:08 |
| ohsix | good job | 04:08 |
| MrStryker | dwarder, you are cloaked | 04:08 |
| grendal-prime | its going to the customer via a 280 mbs connection. | 04:08 |
| grendal-prime | so about 3 megs a second. | 04:09 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: i got it and it won't run from command line, even though i installed it already | 04:09 |
| grendal-prime | durring peek hours it enumerates in 10 min and then starts again. | 04:09 |
| StepNjump | critical_max, yes it's gnome | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: we do that, its a great backup method | 04:09 |
| grendal-prime | and hoho..if your server is hi demand..get a second box and run rsync from that. | 04:09 |
| Blackadder | Hi I am more than happy with my Ubuntu servers. I wish to build a control server with gnome installed any ideas on howto after base server installed | 04:10 |
| ohsix | or dont | 04:10 |
| StepNjump | Sorry MrStryker, where is the system menu? This is a different setup for netbooks | 04:10 |
| ohsix | run varnish on a frontend instead | 04:10 |
| grendal-prime | you can tunnel it right thorugh ssh..literally 4 lines of bash and you are done..point cron to the script and fagetaboutit. | 04:10 |
| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: No, you did not install GNU ddrescue, you installed non-GNU ddrescue which is an inferior program. | 04:10 |
| StepNjump | Ok thanks critical_max, if you think of anything, please kindly let me know. Thanks for your help | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Blackadder: i'd install webmin or similar to give a web interface | 04:10 |
| MrStryker | StepNjump, you may be using unity | 04:10 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: If it is gnome then it is DEFINITELY customized and you should check Acer and find out where they have hidden the feature you want. | 04:11 |
| === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth | ||
| critical_max | stepnjump: you're quite welcome | 04:11 |
| sphinxxx | Jordan_U: i installed the only one that showed up in software center | 04:11 |
| grendal-prime | ActionParsnip, i use it to move a crapload of data every second..i mean we are not even syncing it..although we could but we are just offloading data with it..it works better than cp because we can compress the data ad it goes out. | 04:11 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: inferior eh? | 04:11 |
| dwarder | MrStryker: it was a metaphor that nobody answers my question, though it that was easy one as i figured out, command is not e2ensite but a2ensite | 04:11 |
| Blackadder | cool thanks m8. I hate having a web interface but some guys are not so great on code especially when initializing openvpn | 04:11 |
| grendal-prime | its part of the rsync protocol.. | 04:11 |
| grendal-prime | i would marry the develops ugly sister if he asked me to | 04:12 |
| grendal-prime | errr..or she? | 04:12 |

| critical_max | Question, what's a screen recorder that plays nice with Gnome/Ubuntu? | 04:12 |
| Bawn | a2ensite | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: we use a windows app and it just moves, just gotta spot check it, if a job stops, just kill it and the next data chunk kicks off the job monitoring again. | 04:13 |
| StepNjump | critical_max: I don't understand when you say to check acer because this netbook came with windows7 built in. I dual boot partitionned it in order to have ubuntu installed... There is something I miss there | 04:13 |
| KingPrawn | Hello | 04:13 |
| grendal-prime | look im just saying..alot of people know about it ohsix but honestly i dont know many people that have the situation i have where they have to move as much data as i do..im just letting everyone know..."hey..ive put it through the pases and you can even use it for stuff that yo wouldnt normally consider) | 04:13 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: According to their website it appears that they switch to a smaller block size on the first pass, which will cause additional wear on the drive before getting all of the data that can be read with a larger block size first. | 04:13 |
| grendal-prime | and im trying to let hoho know..its probably were he is going to wind up so he should start there. | 04:13 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: no i was missing that info... well... hmm | 04:14 |
| critical_max | !ntfs | stepnjump | 04:14 |
| ubottu | stepnjump: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 04:14 |
| dwarder | Bawn: and thank you for noticing me, now i know i exist ;) | 04:14 |
| dwarder | +that | 04:14 |
| Bawn | yup, dwarder | 04:14 |
| critical_max | !ntfs-3g|stepnjump | 04:14 |
| ubottu | stepnjump: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 04:14 |
| Jordan_U | sphinxxx: Run "sudo apt-get remove ddrescue; sudo apt-get install gddrescue". | 04:14 |
| critical_max | stepnjump, i would go ahead and follow the ubuntu ntfs-3g docs at this point | 04:14 |
| grendal-prime | ActionParsnip, ya the entire reason we wound up using it from a linux box was cause the windows machine in charge of moving our data backups...borked..at a very bad time. | 04:14 |
| StepNjump | oh yes, it does mention NTFS-3g... excellent thanks critical_max. That will help a lot. I like your nick btw! | 04:15 |

| chenwl | just like "<del>some word</del>" | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | KingPrawn: never had an issue with them in 10 years | 04:15 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: the only aditional wear it could be is in the servo mechanism; the larger block sizes are just for speed, and you truly have a contrived scenario if you are running the clock out on the servo mechanism | 04:16 |
| StepNjump | critical_max, it's true that the netbook version of Ubuntu is limited version because of limited space on the HDD and limited RAM. So they try to keep it light | 04:16 |
| grendal-prime | and ohsix your right...i know windows users that will actually build a linux box just to use rsync to move data. | 04:16 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: yeah, that explains it... you're going to find a LOT of things are different no doubt... be sure to mention you're running the netbook version in future :) | 04:16 |

| crus | care to elaborate? or are you just spinning fud | 04:19 |
| grendal-prime | on windows...ooooohhhh....just now is it starting to work right..and guesss what cifs...blows... | 04:19 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: If a drive is dying then you want to get anything you can with larger block sizes first. Even if you just consider speed it means that you will have a more complete image sooner than if you use smaller block sizes for everything. | 04:19 |
| crus | grendal-prime: are you going to give any reasons or are you just going to keep defering and saying different things blow etc? | 04:19 |
| Sirkill | mute? | 04:20 |
| Sirkill | cool | 04:20 |
| grendal-prime | there is no way in hell you are going to run a filler and run anything worth anything with cifs..you have to have nfs..as soon as you start looking into things like vmware guess what..you are going to need nfs. | 04:20 |

| StepNjump | I would have to test it | 04:21 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: thats a different argument, one could also be made that a drive might heat up too much and not work reliably with faster reading | 04:21 |

| grendal-prime | crus, right | 04:21 |
| StepNjump | critical_max it's a new toy I couldn't tell you for sure but ubuntu, it must last about 4 hours. I should test it and let you know | 04:21 |
| grendal-prime | what do you do when you reach 25000 inodes on a windows system? | 04:21 |
| Xion | i just install a app called tweetdeck and requires a keyring to open it | 04:21 |
| grendal-prime | i would like to see you deal with that | 04:22 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: yeah in the past ubuntu's battery life is less than win7, be nice to see it catch up ;) | 04:22 |
| StepNjump | critical_max: I'm going to get a second one at costco. I got mine for 300$. I presume they will spike up in price with the tsunami disaster. It's a good investment | 04:22 |
| Xion | can i use keyring for any app i like to protect ? | 04:22 |
| critical_max | I found a screen recorder in ubuntu that works great, it's called "istanbul" | 04:22 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: And GNU ddrescu's logging is great. | 04:22 |
| ohsix | grendal-prime: considering theres no concept of an inode to windows ... | 04:22 |
| StepNjump | really??? | 04:22 |
| grendal-prime | crus, you got a windows system that will deal with that? | 04:22 |
| StepNjump | Ok I went on battery now | 04:22 |
| grendal-prime | no shit? | 04:22 |
| crus | grendal-prime: okay, so what was the problem with rsync on windows exactly? we seem to have gone a bit sideways with this one | 04:22 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: clever fellow! i knew my ruse wouldn't last for long | 04:22 |
| StepNjump | If you are still here, I will let you know | 04:22 |

| digilife | hi | 04:23 |
| critical_max | yeah just message me here | 04:23 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: Read the documentation for both GNU ddrescue and non-GNU ddrescue and I think you will agree that GNU ddrescue is superior. | 04:23 |
| grendal-prime | no crus you misted the point earlyer, we tried rsync on windows..it could not deal with the amount of files..or the amount of data...it died..several times. | 04:23 |
| StepNjump | I can tell you that it heats up much less in ubuntu | 04:23 |
| grendal-prime | left us hanging... | 04:23 |

| Xion | can i add a app to keyring,,i mean password protected ? | 04:24 |
| grendal-prime | i dont know what you do for a living...but what i do is reliably move alot of data round ...and windows does not do it ..if it did i would not have a job | 04:24 |
| GeForce88 | apport on 11.04 is buggy. can't file bug report because it faults out. any ideas how to report the fail ? | 04:24 |
| lwizardl | can someone help me figure out why when i burn a disc using k3b windows can not mount the discs ? i use linux+windows, an no multi-session | 04:24 |
| crus | grendal-prime: more then likely, rsync had a hard time dealing with too many files in a single directory, which is a more a problem to do with NTFS rather then rsync.. | 04:24 |
| StepNjump | critical_max: What might help too is to do a sudo pm-powersave true | 04:25 |
| crus | grendal-prime: and probably more to do with you not understanding the limitations of the file system you were using. | 04:25 |
| ohsix | GeForce88: "faults out", does apport crash or say that type of crash can't be reported? also, you might try #ubuntu+1 | 04:25 |
| chelz | is firefox 4 going to replace firefox 3.6 in lucid? | 04:25 |
| StepNjump | critical_max and configure the cache. I used to have a great article on that somewhere.. | 04:25 |
| StepNjump | It sped up the netbook quite a bit | 04:25 |
| xangua | !fx4 | chelz | 04:25 |
| ubottu | chelz: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. To install it, use the PPA by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 04:25 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: ssd would also help a ton i bet | 04:25 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: i always burned through battery by taxing the video card and/or the hard drive | 04:26 |
| ohsix | lwizardl: did k3b end up creating a udf disk? possibly because of the size of the files you burned? windows generally doesn't do well with udf | 04:26 |
| chelz | xangua: that tells me how to install it, but not if fx3.6 will be unavailable. i would like to keep fx3.6 if i could. | 04:26 |
| grendal-prime | cruse..ok..your missing the point.. | 04:26 |
| GeForce88 | ohsix, windows pops up says sorry, apport has unexpectantly closed. do you wish to file a bug report blah blah, click to report and system freeses | 04:26 |
| grendal-prime | you run rsync on a windows machine..what can you conect it to with a large number of files in one dir? | 04:26 |
| StepNjump | critical_max, yeah | 04:26 |
| ohsix | GeForce88: peculiar, afaik apport is mostly python, if it were crashing something would be seriously amiss | 04:27 |
| StepNjump | critical_max, is there a way that you know I could leave you an offline message whilst you are gone so that you can read it when you connect? | 04:27 |
| StepNjump | on irc | 04:27 |
| crus | grendal-prime: no, you're missing the point.. rsync is not at fault.. | 04:27 |
| ohsix | grendal-prime: you've been pretty offtopic for a while with this rsync talk | 04:27 |
| GeForce88 | stepnjump send your self a memo via memoserv | 04:27 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: this channel doesn't disconnect me, should be ok | 04:27 |
| ActionParsnip | chelz: use the daily ppa, install firefox-4.0 then remove the ppa | 04:27 |
| crus | ohsix: that's probably my fault as i've been fueling the fire on that one | 04:28 |
| grendal-prime | crus...i said rsync on windows blows | 04:28 |
| h3r0 | helo | 04:28 |
| StepNjump | Thanks GeForce88 | 04:28 |
| grendal-prime | you asked me to give yo ureasons why | 04:28 |
| grendal-prime | i did that | 04:28 |
| === h3r0 is now known as Guest88322 | ||
| ohsix | no harm no foul, he's been at it since before you said anything | 04:28 |
| IdleOne | grendal-prime: drop the windows talk and get on topic. Now please. | 04:28 |
| StepNjump | Ok Critical_max, I shall let you know (battery life) | 04:28 |
| === Guest88322 is now known as momoko | ||
| crus | grendal-prime: No, you told me how everything else sucks/blows, whatever. | 04:29 |
| chelz | ActionParsnip: oh i mean i'm wondering if the official repos are going to make the choice for users to switch to fx4 from fx3.6, since i don't really care for fx4 atm | 04:29 |
| IdleOne | !windows | 04:29 |
| ubottu | For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 04:29 |
| grendal-prime | ok...sorry guys... | 04:29 |
| zakwilson | Is a Firefox 4 .deb out yet? I googled, but mostly found old info about the beta. | 04:29 |
| xangua | !fx4 | zakwilson | 04:29 |
| ubottu | zakwilson: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. To install it, use the PPA by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 04:29 |
| xangua | ...... | 04:29 |
| grendal-prime | hows this...cruse....i have a dir with 250000 files in it..how would you sugges it move it? | 04:29 |
| ohsix | i pinned ff4 from natty; that was the awesome | 04:29 |
| grendal-prime | i move it ...sorry... | 04:29 |
| zakwilson | Thanks, xangua. | 04:29 |
| ActionParsnip | chelz: 4 is default in natty | 04:30 |
| lwizardl | ohsix, nope. settings where write mode auto, verify written data, filesystem linux/unix + windows, not udf | 04:30 |
| critical_max | xangua: ooh thanks, I didn't know it got released today yet. | 04:30 |
| chelz | ActionParsnip: is 3.6 available in natty? | 04:30 |
| lwizardl | whats a level 3 iso level ? | 04:30 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: thanks, be curious to know the difference if any these days | 04:30 |
| grendal-prime | next cruse...it needs to go through the internet two another machine..no established tunnel? | 04:30 |
| lwizardl | ohsix, and generate rock ridge extensions, generate joliet extentions | 04:31 |
| ActionParsnip | chelz: not sure, I don't use firefox these days | 04:31 |
| ohsix | lwizardl: well "filesystem linux/unix + windows" sounds like its trying to hide the information you need from you; if you can read it in linux, check the output of dmesg in a terminal to see what the volume is | 04:31 |
| crus | grendal-prime: 250000 files in 1 folder is poor management to begin with imo. | 04:31 |
| ohsix | chelz: it isn't available | 04:31 |
| chelz | that's interesting | 04:31 |
| grendal-prime | your not asnwering the question and these files are stacking up as we speek | 04:31 |
| grendal-prime | also they are on a netapps filer | 04:32 |
| lwizardl | ohsix, ok it reads fine under linux what do i need to do to read the info you was asking about dmesg | 04:32 |
| ruan | is it normal for a fsck to take 5 seconds? | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | chelz: i guess you could use the archived file from the mozilla page and integrate it | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ruan: depends on options and size of filesystem being scanned | 04:32 |
| grendal-prime | bzzzzzt...crus your fired | 04:32 |
| ruan | because it seemed to do a file check on startup and it took 5 seconds | 04:33 |
| ohsix | lwizardl: you need not do anything, it just tells you what format the disk is, which might indicate what problems windows would have with it | 04:33 |
| grendal-prime | hoho? | 04:33 |
| ruan | i dont know why it did a filecheck though | 04:33 |
| crus | you want a solution to a problem.. yet the problem is very vague.. | 04:33 |
| chris_osx | should i wait for ubuntu 10.10 coming up with firefox 4 or should i install it manually? | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | chris_osx: up to you | 04:33 |
| crus | grendal-prime: sorry, im not devoting 100% of my attention to you're stupidity ;) | 04:33 |
| ActionParsnip | !ff4 | chris_osx | 04:33 |
| critical_max | oh dear lord, FF4 is just as fast in linux as it is in windows :) | 04:33 |
| ubottu | chris_osx: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. To install it, use the PPA by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 04:34 |
| StepNjump | GeForce88, thanks for letting me about memoserv. Didn't know that one. That's awsome | 04:34 |
| lwizardl | says filesystem isofs | 04:34 |
| ohsix | netapp is probably a canard; you're totally divulging how sorry the scenario is, but you're totally buying into rsync essentially marginalizing a job that wouldn't exist if not for bad management | 04:34 |
| ActionParsnip | crus: smooth :) | 04:34 |
| chris_osx | ActionParsnip: thanks a lot | 04:34 |
| grendal-prime | i already have the answer because thats what i do..tell people without a clue how to move there 5 metric tone of garbage data from one place to another because there app sucks and as you so put it is poorly planed...but i dont sit on my thumb..i do something about it' | 04:34 |
| StepNjump | critical_max, yes I shall let you know | 04:34 |
| crus | ActionParsnip: even with the major spelling issue ;) | 04:34 |
| StepNjump | I will msg you and if you are not here, I will memoserv you | 04:34 |
| critical_max | stepnjump: ok thanks | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | crus: i thought it was gramer not speeling ;);) | 04:35 |
| IdleOne | grendal-prime: Drop this off topic discussion now or I will remove you from the channel. | 04:35 |
| StepNjump | I will msg you and if you are not here, I will memoserv you critical_max | 04:35 |
| StepNjump | critical_max. Thanks to u2 | 04:35 |
| IdleOne | crus: you too please. get back on topic. | 04:35 |
| prime | Hi all - If I want to convince my school IT guys to look at ubuntu, is there a list of reasons somewhere? | 04:35 |
| crus | ActionParsnip: lets not get technical ;) | 04:35 |
| crus | IdleOne: no worries | 04:35 |
| glitchd | ok so i have a script to lauch a server for a game, it works fine if i run it in terminal but i want to assign it to a shortcut on my top panel, but it doesnt launch when i click it?? what am i missing?? | 04:35 |
| ActionParsnip | crus: you just made my night :) | 04:35 |
| prime | like IT guy advantages? | 04:35 |
| xangua | prime: prime: ubuntu.com google ¿¿ | 04:36 |
| grendal-prime | IdleOne, yes sir | 04:36 |
| grendal-prime | hoho. hows it going? | 04:36 |
| glitchd | anyone?? | 04:36 |
| ohsix | prime: most of the points in ubuntus favor are linux ones | 04:36 |
| grendal-prime | you want to talk in a private channel i will gladly explain to you how to move very large amounts of data with very minimal equipment. | 04:37 |
| critical_max | prime: check SuSE too for school advocacy, SuSE is huge in education | 04:37 |
| grendal-prime | sometimes these public chats are not good for discussion of details. | 04:37 |
| prime | ok - so general linux / suse have the same points in favor | 04:37 |
| prime | as ubuntu | 04:37 |
| soreau | glitchd: could be an environment issue. alos make sure it is executable | 04:37 |
| prime | thanks | 04:37 |
| soreau | also* | 04:37 |
| critical_max | glitchd: yeah, likely environment. pastebin the script? | 04:38 |
| superman097 | anyone know about mrtg here? | 04:38 |
| ohsix | superman097: no | 04:38 |
| glitchd | soreau, i believe it is, when i double click it i get the options on how to run it | 04:38 |
| glitchd | critical_max, it works if i double click it, i want to put it to a icon shortcut on my top panel | 04:38 |
| critical_max | prime: suse is a linux distro that targets the educational market (among others) - i've personally seen labs full of SuSE machines at a major university - you are more likely to find advocacy documents in their community IMHO | 04:39 |
| superman097 | mrtg = multi router traffic grapher | 04:39 |
| critical_max | glitchd: put it in a pastebin | 04:39 |
| critical_max | !pastebin|glitchd | 04:39 |
| ubottu | glitchd: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 04:39 |
| ruan | glitchd: it needs to run in its working directory, i had the same issue | 04:39 |
| soreau | glitchd: So you made the shortcut on the panel, did you specify the full path to the script? | 04:39 |
| ruan | glitchd: a shortcut on the panel could work though | 04:39 |
| soreau | glitchd: Might need to make the script cd into the proper directory as ruan suggests | 04:40 |
| glitchd | soreau, yes the full run path is "/home/glitchd/games/minecraft-server/start" and thats in the shortcut also | 04:40 |
| Stryker | Welcome back glitchd | 04:40 |
| glitchd | Stryker, thx! | 04:40 |
| glitchd | been a while since ive been here | 04:40 |
| glitchd | soreau, ok it all of a sudden decided to work | 04:41 |
| glitchd | thx anyways guys!! | 04:41 |
| Stryker | Yeah, I have forgot what I was helping u with b4 | 04:41 |
| grendal-prime | soooo on topic of pulse audio | 04:41 |
| critical_max | glitchd: good deal | 04:41 |
| grendal-prime | anyone have an acer? | 04:41 |
| glitchd | Stryker, yea so did i | 04:41 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: did but the wind blew and it fell aprt in my hands | 04:41 |
| glitchd | adios room!!! | 04:42 |
| ohsix | i don't follow, pulseaudio -> polling on who owns an acer? | 04:42 |
| Stryker | cya glitchd | 04:42 |
| soreau | glitchd: cool | 04:42 |
| ruan | grendal-prime: my sister used to have one. acer aspire one, the linux that came with it wasn't so usable | 04:42 |
| grendal-prime | ActionParsnip, you know thats werid allot of people have said they are sort of physically crap but this is the first NON dell machine (because of the contracts i have) that i have bought in 10 years. | 04:42 |
| grendal-prime | and ive been really happy with it...as far as a mid goes...its the fkn bomb. | 04:43 |
| superman097 | can i ask something about mrtg with ipv6 support here? | 04:43 |
| grendal-prime | thing runs for 6 hours on a charge....well i mean you know running around and whatnot..thing is the mic is werid..because pulse audio things it is a sterio mic | 04:44 |
| critical_max | superman097: go ahead, i used mrtg in a former life.. | 04:44 |
| grendal-prime | i have to silence one of the mics for my ipphone apps to work.. | 04:44 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: its cheap and you get what you pay for, is how I see it | 04:45 |
| grendal-prime | but when i adjust the volume on the taskbar..it couples them togerther again.. | 04:45 |
| Stryker | mrtg doesn't come up in google, isn't that odd? | 04:45 |
| Stryker | nvm | 04:46 |
| grendal-prime | i dont know ActionParsnip has a 4 core atom ...the video is full accelerted, wif..networ...vidoe out..everything workd (cept for the mic) right out of the box.. | 04:46 |
| ohsix | grendal-prime: thats a well known problem, alsa doesn't provide the information to automatically do that for clients, or provide the noise reduction it is intended for | 04:46 |
| ruan | 4 core atom? lol | 04:46 |
| grendal-prime | ya werid i know..but its a netbook...with 4 core.. | 04:46 |
| critical_max | stryker: multi router traffic grapher, isn't it | 04:46 |
| grendal-prime | and ddr3 | 04:46 |
| Stryker | yeah | 04:46 |
| superman097 | yes | 04:46 |
| ruan | grendal-prime: what model? | 04:46 |
| grendal-prime | its nice i can run 3 vms on it.. | 04:46 |
| grendal-prime | d255 | 04:47 |
| grendal-prime | and a 250 gig hd | 04:47 |
| superman097 | mrtg = multi router trafic grapher | 04:47 |
| ohsix | ruan: 2 core, and ht | 04:47 |
| ruan | ok | 04:47 |
| Stryker | hey, critical_max did u know u can press tab to autocomplete names? | 04:47 |
| grendal-prime | i liked it so much i bought a second one...like i say the only thing i cant get to work on it is like...google voice.. cause of the mic. | 04:48 |
| grendal-prime | and its runnign 10.04 | 04:48 |
| critical_max | Stryker, if I ever knew I'd forgotten. | 04:48 |
| grendal-prime | beats the hell of of the 3 or 4 dell min 10's we got here. | 04:48 |
| critical_max | Stryker, I just tab completed in apt-get which makes that funny :) | 04:49 |
| === _evilpleasure is now known as evilpleasure | ||
| critical_max | tabbing arguments took me a while to catch on to | 04:49 |
| grendal-prime | in fact i would ditch my hero phone for this thing if the mic worked decent | 04:49 |
| ohsix | the mini10 wasn't exactly a show piece | 04:49 |
| grendal-prime | ya but dude..for 200 bucks it was pretty cool for a mid | 04:50 |
| ActionParsnip | grendal-prime: grab a usb mic ;) | 04:50 |
| grendal-prime | and i dont care what anyone says it beats the hell out of a fkn ipunk any day. | 04:50 |
| ohsix | the mic does work; its just that the 2 channels are out of phase & no software involved knows, or uses it for noise reduction | 04:50 |
| DrkCodeman | is it possible to run exchange on *nix? | 04:50 |
| grendal-prime | ActionParsnip, does the same thing | 04:50 |
| grendal-prime | something about pulse audio..werid | 04:50 |
| DrkCodeman | pulse audio is crap... | 04:51 |
| ohsix | it's not just pulseaudio, andything that mixes the streams will do it | 04:51 |
| grendal-prime | anyway..i dont have to have it working it just makes conf calling allot easyer if i can do it on the same machine i do dev work on. | 04:51 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: qualify your assertions | 04:51 |
| DrkCodeman | that was the first thing i removed with ubuntu read online threads about pulse audio | 04:51 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: qualify your assertions | 04:52 |
| grendal-prime | off to work with more kvm stuff.. he ActionParsnip you do any work with kvm and virt-manager? | 04:52 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: so you read something that said it was bad and removed it; and now carry the flag for it, having not even seen for yourself, ok | 04:52 |
| harovali | how can I ensure the boot process runs /etc/init.d/console-setup ? | 04:52 |
| critical_max | DrkCodeman: those problems with pulseaudio were in like, 2008 :( | 04:53 |
| DrkCodeman | Open-Xchange weee | 04:53 |
| ohsix | grendal-prime: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/79489 | 04:53 |
| ohsix | critical_max: that is to say, if he were even reading about real problems, people are funny | 04:53 |
| critical_max | ohsix: well, I definitely had a horrible time with the first distribution upgrade that included pulseaudio, was doing multimedia work with alsa+jack, and got taken for a ride... but it's been fine for years now | 04:54 |
| grendal-prime | duuuuude...you are the MAN....ok ok...ill mary YOUR UGLY sister for that find! | 04:54 |
| grendal-prime | i mean..you know...if you still need to marry her off and all... | 04:54 |
| DrkCodeman | i had a hell of a time with my usb headset with pulse audio | 04:54 |
| DrkCodeman | in addition to using apps like wine | 04:55 |
| ohsix | grendal-prime: are you vision or otherwise impaired? it's the first hit on google, these things aren't this amazing | 04:55 |
| DrkCodeman | my usb headset would cut in some instances very fuzzy (playing wow) through wine | 04:55 |
| DrkCodeman | changed to alsa worked great | 04:55 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: would you believe all the wine sound output drivers are broken? forsooth, it only shows up when you do nonblocking sound i/o | 04:55 |
| critical_max | DrkCodeman: if you were running Ventrilo, that's always flaky to the extreme, been there | 04:56 |
| critical_max | DrkCodeman: there was a Ventrilo-compatible open source project that launched over a year ago, I wonder how far they are | 04:56 |
| ohsix | that's a wine problem, not a pulse one :\ | 04:56 |
| ohsix | pasuspender is great for that though | 04:56 |
| grindcrusher | get mangler | 04:56 |
| critical_max | mangler, that's it | 04:56 |
| ruan | also, gksudo gstreamer-properties | 04:56 |
| grindcrusher | it works pretty good | 04:57 |
| ohsix | ruan: what would that do | 04:57 |
| ruan | ohsix: changes default plugin for stuff, not sure what exactly | 04:57 |
| DrkCodeman | i also had problems in native unreal tournament 2003 | 04:57 |
| grindcrusher | connect to ventrillo servers | 04:57 |
| DrkCodeman | so it wasn't a wine issue | 04:57 |
| DrkCodeman | btw native ut2k3 was a major pain to install | 04:57 |
| critical_max | DrkCodeman: probably not worth ripping out stable subsystems like pulseaudio to get 8 year old apps running. :) | 04:58 |
| ohsix | ruan: it just sets some stuff for gconfsink, if you're not using playbin or something that does, OR gstreamer, it wouldn't do anything | 04:58 |
| ruan | ohsix: i use gstreamer | 04:58 |
| grendal-prime | ohsix, well not really...as if i was they would not let me fly the plane anymore...but i will say i was probably being a little to literal in my search criteria..i was looking for this machine specifically | 04:59 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: you wouldn't believe it but lots of software is broken! they assume blocking audio output to rate limit sample delivery; this is not how pulse works (though properly written realtime software will clock its own sample rate and work in both cases) | 04:59 |
| grendal-prime | i do thank you for the link though.. | 04:59 |
| grendal-prime | even though..it does not support a solution. | 05:00 |
| DrkCodeman | and is landscape open source? | 05:00 |
| ohsix | grendal-prime: i was being a little facetious, i searched for alsa stereo mic phase ... which could be inferred from what i had already said, but uses terms of art :[ | 05:00 |
| ohsix | grendal-prime: the solution for a user is ugly manual configuration in cryptic configuration files, alsa should really be handling it | 05:01 |
| DrkCodeman | Anyone here know about landscape? | 05:02 |
| ruan | !landscape | 05:03 |
| ubottu | Landscape makes the management and monitoring of Ubuntu systems simple and effective by combining world-class support with easy to use online management tools. https://landscape.canonical.com/ | 05:03 |
| DrkCodeman | is it open source? | 05:03 |
| ruan | well, its on canonical. might as well check | 05:03 |
| ohsix | i bet that link might have something to say | 05:03 |
| DrkCodeman | doesnt say much realy | 05:04 |
| ohsix | afaik not all components are, they run it as a paid service | 05:04 |
| ruan | yeah it requires an ubuntu advantage account | 05:05 |
| DrkCodeman | so much for OSI | 05:05 |
| ruan | http://www.canonical.com/enterprise-services/ubuntu-advantage/landscape | 05:05 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: lawl | 05:05 |
| DrkCodeman | <3 marketing | 05:05 |
| ruan | there seems to be a free trial though | 05:06 |
| DrkCodeman | yeah its a pitty its just another gimmick to get money its a community project yet they are marketing this as a company | 05:08 |
| ohsix | grendal-prime: theres already some stuff in pulse to work around this apparently, i don't know where to get a new enough version though. ppas or anything | 05:08 |
| ruan | well they've got to get money somehow | 05:08 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: its a community project insofat as mark shuttleworth started it and the company monetizes it, and has paid contributors | 05:08 |
| yoga | lejocha2@yahoo.com | 05:09 |
| ohsix | you can, shockingly, be paid to work on ubuntu | 05:09 |
| b0tz | Hi, I just got a dell st2220t multitouch touchscreen monitor. It isnt even registering one\two touch input at the moment - just acting as a dual monitor. ive never had a touch screen monitor before so is there anything i should know or do to get this working | 05:09 |
| DrkCodeman | so ubuntu does not have a OSI license then | 05:09 |
| ruan | b0tz: there is a driver you need to install for touch screen i believe | 05:10 |
| b0tz | Any idea what it is | 05:10 |
| ruan | http://www.bytetips.com/touchscreen-support-ubuntu/ | 05:10 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: this isn't really on topic for this channel, "ubuntu" is a trademark, it is also what they call the distro, on install media, and as an assembly of the constituent parts, which all have separate licenses | 05:11 |

| ruan | hmm | 05:11 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: they do not distribute parts of their commercial infrastructure, but the parts they do, have a license | 05:11 |
| b0tz | the repo nto wo rking or what | 05:11 |
| ruan | got to find a newer one then | 05:11 |
| b0tz | grr.. | 05:12 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: but that still isn't talking about "ubuntu" | 05:12 |
| chalcedony | how do i find out where 'rbash' is in ubuntu 10.04? | 05:13 |
| DaPenguin | which | 05:13 |
| === Blackadder is now known as PeterPan | ||
| ohsix | chalcedony: dpkg -S rbash, or `which rbash` (latter is faster) | 05:14 |
| === PeterPan is now known as Blackuhuru | ||
| chalcedony | ohsix, ty | 05:15 |
| b0tz | grr hate working with drivers | 05:16 |
| b0tz | i figured multitouch\touch support was built in.. | 05:16 |
| ruan | b0tz: drivers are actually built in | 05:17 |
| b0tz | then why isnt even basic mouse functionality with touchscreen working | 05:17 |
| evan_ | trying to get a texas instruments wifi card to work... i think i found the driver but i can't get it to go | 05:17 |
| b0tz | there is lik eno documentation on getting this montior to work cause its so new | 05:17 |
| ohsix | b0tz: is it usb? | 05:18 |

| b0tz | [ 23.636941] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input15 | 05:20 |
| b0tz | thats in dmesg.. | 05:20 |
| MuhammadTahir | in about 6 hours it downloaded about 22 mb | 05:21 |
| StepNjump | critical_max FYI: it says I still have 3h35m left (I doubt it). Started at 22:20 here MST | 05:21 |
| ohsix | b0tz: those are internal controllers, not the one in the monitor | 05:22 |
| b0tz | ah ok figured so, as im connected to a laptop | 05:22 |
| b0tz | hmm | 05:22 |
| ohsix | MuhammadTahir: software properties has a thing that will pick faster mirrors for you | 05:22 |
| MuhammadTahir | i m anew user can u guide me ? | 05:23 |
| ruan | MuhammadTahir: system> administration> software sources | 05:23 |
| MuhammadTahir | i searched from google for terminal comands too | 05:23 |
| MuhammadTahir | but they dnt work | 05:23 |
| MuhammadTahir | thx let me check | 05:23 |
| ohsix | if you want to run it from a terminal: sudo software-properties-gtk | 05:23 |
| Jordan_U | !gksudo | ohsix | 05:24 |
| ubottu | ohsix: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 05:24 |
| ohsix | ruan: thats gone in newer versions btw, software center has the extra/multiverse/what have you in it now | 05:24 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: caring not, though i've read it before | 05:24 |
| ruan | newer versions? like 11.04? | 05:25 |
| ohsix | i use sudo -s and run stuff from there | 05:25 |
| ruan | because im on the latest 10.10 | 05:25 |
| ohsix | ruan: yep | 05:25 |
| b0tz | just tried hdmi and vga, both same problem | 05:25 |
| ruan | gtg. | 05:25 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: You should care about it, especially when helping others. It's not nice to knowingly give advice that could cause a user to no longer be able to login. | 05:25 |
| ohsix | ruan: it might not even be there in 10.10 if it's not an upgrade | 05:25 |
| b0tz | should I try hooking it up via usb too, or what | 05:26 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: when that happens i'll make a note of it | 05:26 |
| ohsix | b0tz: usb would be how the touch controller connects, yes | 05:26 |
| b0tz | alright.. | 05:26 |

| grendal-prime | ActionParsnip, amazon has an apps store now | 05:27 |
| grendal-prime | hehehe | 05:27 |
| nickals | haha sorry guys | 05:27 |
| nickals | just expressing my love <3 | 05:28 |
| Xion | i will like to block apps with password | 05:28 |
| grendal-prime | my chinese mid can get apps now..well i mean for longer than the hour before google realizes its a non approved device | 05:28 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: without ssh involved, which tries to handle your credentials; you won't have a problem | 05:28 |
| MuhammadTahir | thx it worked | 05:28 |
| MuhammadTahir | one more thing \ | 05:29 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: it goes without saying that as root, any file can be changed to be owned by root; so ones that deal with your users credentials is bad news | 05:29 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: It is something I have to help users with often, and I am sure that there are many more that can't even ask for help as they can't ask for help when they can't login to GNOME. Please don't suggest that people use sudo with graphical apps. | 05:29 |
| pinoyoragon | It seems my swap is not mounted, "The disk drive for /dev/mapper/ubuntu10-swap_1 is not ready yet or not present". What shld i do? | 05:29 |
| nickals | Jordan_U, sorry bout that, im just in an un-deniably good mood. that was an AMSG to a bunch of gaming channels, sometimes i forget about freenode. | 05:29 |
| MuhammadTahir | whenever and whatever i try to install through ubuntu software centre it installs too slowly | 05:29 |
| bazhang | nickals, chat elsewhere | 05:29 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: give me one scenario | 05:29 |
| MuhammadTahir | as from the last 20 minutes i m installing Vlc | 05:29 |
| nickals | bazhang, read my last message to Jordan_U | 05:30 |
| Xion | is there any aplication that block my apps with password ? | 05:30 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: not forgetting that i, myself; have some idea about which files are touched by what i'm running, whereas a user may not | 05:30 |
| sacarlson | Xion: just move the app to the /usr/sbin dir | 05:30 |
| pinoyoragon | SWAP Problem (maverick): It seems my swap is not mounted, "The disk drive for /dev/mapper/ubuntu10-swap_1 is not ready yet or not present". What shld i do? | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: Do you at least agree that users that do not know which apps are going to touch ~/.Xauthority should as a rule use gksudo with graphical apps? | 05:31 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: yes, but not as instructions from myself, and ssh isn't unique in that regard, but it's close | 05:32 |
| ohsix | sudo chown root:root ~/.ICEauthority is also ill advised | 05:33 |
| Xion | sacarlson:) what u mean move the app ? installed there ? | 05:33 |
| myrmidette | can anyone walk me through setting up video streaming from ushare to xbox 360? | 05:33 |
| sacarlson | Xion: just mv /usr/bin/app /usr/sbin/app then it will require a sudo and password to run | 05:34 |
| wizardken | myrmidette, it's in slackbook | 05:34 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: software-properties-gtk is basically just an applet for synaptic to handle software sources, it doesn't touch any credentials | 05:34 |
| myrmidette | wizardken, link? | 05:34 |
| ohsix | point taken however | 05:34 |
| ohsix | (for the third time :) | 05:35 |
| sacarlson | Xion: if you are creating an app deb then install it in /usr/sbin in your deb control file | 05:35 |
| MuhammadTahir | ohsix i m waiting | 05:35 |
| Xion | sacarlson:) im not creating apps,,i want to password protect come apps | 05:36 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: Please then either add a note explaining that users should only use sudo with the specific graphical application you are mentioning, or use gksudo in your examples to other users. People do what they see, and what is recommended to them, and unless told otherwise it's perfectly reasonable for them to (mistakenly) expect that if sudo can be used with some graphical apps it can be used with others safely as well. | 05:36 |
| dualcore | i need help with postfix | 05:36 |
| wizardken | i686 true 64 bit and i86_64 just an addon to 34 bit ? | 05:36 |
| DrkCodeman | ubuntu going to run smooth with socket r in a addition to the new 8 core amd bulldozer? | 05:36 |
| sacarlson | xion: well that would be one method I'm sure there are 100 more ways to do it | 05:36 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: it wouldn't be a whitelist, but a blacklist, there are few scenarios where your credentials are replaced | 05:36 |
| ferlicjl | Can someone help me with Wireless Connections? | 05:37 |
| ohsix | wizardken: i686 is the p6, the first pentiums & pentium pros ;] no 64bit there | 05:37 |
| MuhammadTahir | ubuntu software centre is taking much longer is it normal ? | 05:37 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: Then please include said blacklist in any comments to users where you suggest using sudo with a graphical app. Or, more reasonably, suggest the use of gksudo instead. | 05:37 |
| MuhammadTahir | i m installing vlc and it is too much slow | 05:38 |
| dualcore | MuhammadTahir: do you have any other downloads going? | 05:38 |
| MuhammadTahir | no nothning else | 05:38 |
| wizardken | ohsix, oic thanks | 05:38 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: i make no suggestions, if it comes to be something that is likely to modify a file that will make logging in, or anything like it; difficult, i'll defer to gksudo or find a better way to do it | 05:39 |
| ajin | hey guys | 05:39 |
| sacarlson | xion: and here is another way http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491111 | 05:39 |
| ajin | howdy | 05:39 |
| Xion | sacarlson:) i just moved acetone iso to try and it did not promt me for password when i execute | 05:39 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: This is an official policy of #ubuntu, if you'd like to discuss it further please join #ubuntu-ops. | 05:39 |
| MuhammadTahir | just played a song from youtube and nothing else | 05:39 |
| dualcore | how large is the application you're installing and what is your bandwidth? | 05:39 |
| sacarlson | xion: if that user is sudo and you have accessed sudo in the last pretimeout then that would be the case | 05:40 |
| MuhammadTahir | its 20.7 mb and my conection is 1 mb | 05:40 |
| MuhammadTahir | but usually i can download much faster than that | 05:40 |
| === dhodgkin_ is now known as Guest4848 | ||
| sacarlson | xion: and iso is not an application it is a file that is read by an app so ? | 05:41 |
| MuhammadTahir | in abt 30 to 35 minutes its about 20 % done | 05:41 |
| Xion | sacarlson:) yes i use sudo to open nautilus,i mean gksu | 05:41 |
| dualcore | MuhammadTahir: are there other computers on the network downloading? | 05:41 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: one contrived and avoidable situation doesn't really convince, and practically speaking i can almost assure you that it will never come up in a scenario where i am assisting someone | 05:41 |
| MuhammadTahir | no | 05:41 |
| sacarlson | xion: so you want even a sudo user to have to add a password? | 05:42 |
| MuhammadTahir | i have my own line | 05:42 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: This is an official policy of #ubuntu, if you'd like to discuss it further please join #ubuntu-ops. | 05:42 |
| Xion | sacarlson:) acetoneiso is a app | 05:42 |
| Xion | yes | 05:42 |
| Xion | sacarlson:) i dont have user on my computer,but i share it sometimes | 05:42 |
| sacarlson | xion: then you should modify your sudoer file so that this sudo user must add a password or not access at all | 05:42 |
| MuhammadTahir | if i try to download directly or through torent any thing i can download 20 mb in about 1 to 2 minutes | 05:42 |
| sacarlson | xion: if it's ubuntu it must have a user to operate | 05:43 |
| Xion | sacarlson:) yes just me, | 05:44 |
| MuhammadTahir | the same problem with update manager yesterday in 6 hours it downloaded only about 22 or some mb | 05:44 |
| dualcore | MuhammadTahir: whats your bandwidth http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ | 05:44 |
| sacarlson | xion: but you run as sudo all the time? | 05:44 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: this is a "what i will ever say in the future" policy, it's none of your business, you can tell people the perils of messing with your credentialss as root, not me; i don't suspect anyone but the strictest of cargo cult to just run everything with sudo either, the ssh thing is as contrived as it gets, and ssh could/should see who owns those credentials before it copies them | 05:44 |
| play | lastest ubuntu 11.04 alpha stable enough to use? itching to upgrade. (thanks for any feedback) | 05:45 |
| Xion | sacarlson:) i think so,i just use sudo at terminal | 05:45 |
| MuhammadTahir | its .81 mbps | 05:45 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: note: you'd need to do "sudo ssh -X" for this to happen | 05:45 |
| sacarlson | xion: well if you don't need sudo don't use it | 05:45 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: not ssh root@ -X | 05:45 |
| bazhang | play, #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support | 05:45 |
| play | ah, thanks for the tip @ bazhang | 05:45 |
| ActionParsnip | play: works ok here, i'd ask in #ubuntu+1 | 05:45 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: its up to the reader to decide of sudo ssh is more correct than ssh root@ | 05:46 |
| Starminn | How do I change the icon of a file? | 05:46 |
| ohsix | bbiab | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: This channel has guidelines, If you refuse to follow them I will have to remove you from the channel. I really don't want or expect it to come to that. | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: right click it -> properties then then click the icon and change it | 05:46 |
| bazhang | Starminn, right click choose a new one or get a new theme set | 05:46 |
| Xion | sacarlson:) so theres nothing i can change in users and groups to block myself from som apps ? | 05:46 |
| sacarlson | xion: maybe you should just move all the stuf you normaly run out of /usr/sbin and put them in /usr/bin so that you almost never need sudo? then it will ask for a password when you really want it to | 05:46 |
| ohsix | Jordan_U: i suspect you'll be informing me every time i make a faux pa, i'm confident even. as this isn't the first time, so all is well | 05:47 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: Wow. Did not know that the image was actually a clickable button. :) Thanks. | 05:47 |
| sacarlson | xion: sure there is but you keep bypassing it so what's the point | 05:47 |
| DrkCodeman | ohsix: is ubuntu going to be able to handle 128bit architecture? | 05:47 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: that wont be ubuntu, and it won't be for 20 years, it's useless to speculate | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: yeah man, works all over the place (really good for removable devices appearing on the deskto ;)) | 05:48 |
| ohsix | linux already has some targets with vliw, but not with huge address spaces | 05:48 |
| DrkCodeman | ohsix: its already here... look up the new amd bulldozer... | 05:48 |
| sacarlson | xion: you can make add another user called superduperuser and give him full rights and make your present user only access without a password what you want to normaly run without a password | 05:48 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: Good idea. :) Although my removables don't appear on my Desktop, but duely noted. :) Never would have thought to click on the image. | 05:48 |
| ActionParsnip | DrkCodeman: as long as the kernel is compiled to use the addressing and any features in the CPU then sure | 05:48 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: i have a bridge for sale | 05:48 |
| ohsix | its best not to conflate the instruction size with the possible address space size | 05:49 |
| Xion | sacarlson:) so i need to open a gksu nautilus and move all from /usr/sbin to usr/bin and notjing happend to the system? | 05:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: when I connect my phone, my phone appears on my desktop. I also got a pic of an my exact SD card which appears when I plug it in | 05:49 |
| ohsix | even 32bit processors can have 40+ bits of address space | 05:49 |
| sacarlson | xion: all? I thought it was just one app? | 05:49 |
| Jordan_U | ohsix: Please join #ubuntu-ops. | 05:49 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: Nice. Good idea. :) | 05:50 |
| sacarlson | xion: no you only need to change your /etc/sudoer file | 05:50 |
| DrkCodeman | memory limitation | 05:50 |
| MuhammadTahir | sualcore any ideas ? | 05:50 |
| MuhammadTahir | dualcore *** | 05:51 |
| sacarlson | xion: I assume the apps you want to limit are aleady in /usr/sbin | 05:51 |
| ohsix | crap, you can't drag things onto icons in the panel anymore in natty | 05:51 |
| ViciousPlant | join ##politics | 05:52 |
| Andy-at-home | guys, how to compress everything in the current directory (and sub directories) in to a tar? | 05:52 |
| ohsix | LOL if you drag it over an app in the taskbar it doesn't switch either, it adds a button next to it | 05:52 |
| Andy-at-home | tar cvfz mytarfile.tgz *? | 05:52 |
| Starminn | ohhsix: Offtopic and/or #ubuntu+1 | 05:52 |

| ActionParsnip | Andy-at-home: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-compress-a-whole-linux-or-unix-directory/ | 05:52 |
| sacarlson | xion: in sudo you can limit a user to only be able to run a single app or a group of apps with or without a password | 05:52 |
| ohsix | DrkCodeman: is there? i have no idea | 05:53 |
| play | andy, you can up up a level and right click the folder -> in menu select compress -> select your options -> all set | 05:53 |
| DrkCodeman | ohsix: dont you personaly work for ubuntu? | 05:53 |
| play | ah nm, you wanted the terminal command | 05:53 |

| eamon | ActionParsnip: ok ty | 05:56 |
| ac7ss | Xion: you can make a hosts file to block all web to those sites. | 05:56 |
| ohsix | you can use a proxy & whitelisting too | 05:56 |
| sacarlson | xion: just read the link then and it gives a good example of how to create a group http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491111 | 05:57 |
| Xion | ac7ss:) i whant to block the internet app like mozilla,opera,chonium etc | 05:57 |
| ohsix | but if you just want to block the internet, lock down networkmanager & have no profiles to connect with | 05:57 |
| ac7ss | Xion: or you could make a WEB group and make the browser programs group WEB and permission 550. | 05:57 |
| sacarlson | xion: and give the boy his own user name and password | 05:57 |
| ac7ss | Xion: and make sure he is not in the WEB group | 05:58 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: xion: that sounds like it would work to me | 05:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Xion: you can setup a proxy and setup filters for selected content | 05:58 |
| sacarlson | ActionParsnip: xion: true you wouldn't want to totaly cut off internet access so this might be better | 05:59 |
| ohsix | lets not forget that gnome has its own restrictions management | 05:59 |

| ac7ss | Is there an easy way to tell if a program is the only copy of itself running? | 06:02 |
| ac7ss | Shell. | 06:02 |
| ohsix | not really | 06:02 |
| Flynn | ac7ss: what do you mean exactly?? | 06:02 |
| ohsix | theres pgrep and other tools that do something like it, that'll search all processes to see if they're running, but most apps that want to run only once have exclusive pid files | 06:03 |
| DrkCodeman | ps aux? | 06:03 |
| Jordan_U | ac7ss: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/045 | 06:03 |
| ac7ss | Flynn: I have a script that I want to make sure it is the only copy running. If it finds another copy, it exits. | 06:03 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: I wrote a script that checked if a program was already running before it ran, is that what you want? | 06:03 |
| Flynn | ac7ss: sudo ps -eF sudo top -c sudo gnome-system-monitor | 06:03 |
| DrkCodeman | top is good :)\ | 06:03 |
| Flynn | ac7ss: sudo ps -eF | grep -i "File Name" | 06:03 |

| glitchd | ok so i need some help again please | 06:04 |
| ohsix | ac7ss: touch a file that exists only when it's running, and remove it when it's killed; then trying to start it again will find the file there and not start | 06:04 |
| Flynn | sevith: what's the a.out file? | 06:04 |
| ohsix | and put the pid in that file so you can check and see if it's really actually still running (so you can clean up if it isn't) | 06:05 |
| sevith | Flynn, Its just a simple overflow but ubuntu wont let me run it....:/ | 06:05 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: I think I use this if [ "$(pidof openvpn)" ] | 06:05 |
| ac7ss | ohsix: I want it to be foolproof. (Don't want to loose it on a bad reboot.) | 06:05 |
| glitchd | i lost color on my desktop, the top panel icons are in color but anything on the desktop is in black and white-monochrome | 06:05 |
| ohsix | that's what the pid is for | 06:05 |
| sevith | Flynn, You know whats stopping it? | 06:05 |
| Flynn | sevith: chmod +x the file?? | 06:05 |
| ohsix | if you want it to start as its own user and only once like a regular service, it's more involved but you can do that too | 06:06 |
| Flynn | sevith: secondly how are you trying to run it? sh ./File name or ./filename ...after chmod'ing it? | 06:06 |
| Andy-at-home | how do I compress everything in the current directory without taking the full filepath? when I extract the tar i get the structure from the old /var/www/currentdirectory/subdirectories instead of allfile/subdirectories | 06:06 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: yes that's what I wanted also since for some reason the app didn't always start so I had a cron check it every hour and at boot | 06:06 |
| sevith | Flynn, chmod didnt help ./filename is how i am running it | 06:06 |
| ohsix | Andy-at-home: cd /thatdirectory tar cf file.tar . | 06:06 |
| Loshki | ac7ss: locking code is full of gotchas for the unwary. Follow Jordan_U's link above... | 06:07 |
| sevith | Flynn, Its a c application | 06:07 |
| Andy-at-home | thanks | 06:07 |
| Flynn | sevith: hmm i'm not to experienced in C | 06:07 |
| sevith | Flynn, Do you know if ubuntu has stack protection | 06:07 |
| Flynn | sevith: I'm usually on Arch but I try to help Ubuntu'ers but I'm not too sure | 06:08 |
| Dannyd | hi, im trying to add an icon to the panel, but the application only works well when run as root, I tried "command : sudo <appname>", but now it dosent launch....can someone tell me how I can do that? | 06:08 |
| ohsix | sevith: that's up to the loader/c library and NX support, which i believe is all in place, including address layout randomization | 06:08 |
| glitchd | anyone have any clue how to get my desktop back in color?? | 06:08 |
| Flynn | Dannyd: use the command if it's a gui app: gksudo file-name | 06:09 |
| Andy-at-home | tar cf myfile.tar not working | 06:09 |
| Flynn | sorry | 06:09 |
| Jordan_U | ac7ss: You can also use run-one and run-only one as explained here: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/02/introducing-run-one-and-run-this-one.html | 06:09 |
| Flynn | Dannyd: gksudo program-name | 06:09 |
| Andy-at-home | or tar cf myfile.tar . | 06:09 |
| ohsix | Andy-at-home: that trailing dot is important, it's the directory to archive, and it means "this directory" | 06:09 |
| ac7ss | I was trying to do it within the script. | 06:09 |
| ohsix | Andy-at-home: you might want to make it cvf, so it shows progress | 06:09 |

| sacarlson | Andy-at-home: taring a tar file? try man tar I think it's tar -x or just use nautilus with fileroller | 06:10 |
| Andy-at-home | weird, the cvf was it | 06:10 |
| Flynn | Ubuntu-related: Just saw Ubuntu being used in Tron Legacy...awesome | 06:10 |
| sevith | Loshki, thx | 06:10 |

| sevith | Flynn, thx | 06:10 |
| sevith | i got it ;) | 06:10 |
| Flynn | Dannyd: no problem | 06:11 |
| ac7ss | Flynn: Did you notice the Ubuntu logo on the character's forehead? | 06:11 |
| Flynn | Dannyd: gksudo is using admin permissions on gui's. sudo program-name isn't right | 06:11 |
| Silentcrow | hello | 06:11 |
| Besogon | Andy-at-home: HOw have you done it? | 06:11 |
| Flynn | ac7ss: i don't think that's ubuntu's logo, it looks sortof like it but it's not it | 06:12 |
| Andy-at-home | it was tar cvf myfile.tar . | 06:12 |
| Flynn | ac7ss: but yes i thought the same | 06:12 |
| sacarlson | Andy-at-home: that creates a tar of a tar file | 06:12 |
| ac7ss | Flynn: looks close enough. | 06:12 |

| sacarlson | Andy-at-home: I'm still fresh just had my coffee after just waking up 2 hours ago | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Andy-at-home: I'm at work so I gotta do some fairly taxing stuff ;) | 06:13 |
| Andy-at-home | no coffee and the smokes arent helping keep my rage down | 06:13 |
| Andy-at-home | so how do I compress a directory with all its files and subdirectories and so it doesnt keep its file structure? | 06:14 |
| boomtnt | hey, can anyone help me with patching chipset ipw2200 for injecting with aircrack? | 06:14 |
| Flynn | here's a weird question I've always had...why is Ubuntu-er's often talk about coffee or beans? | 06:14 |
| ac7ss | Andy-at-home: Keep files and loose file structure? | 06:15 |
| Flynn | boomtnt: your going to want to go to backtrack | 06:15 |
| Flynn | boomtnt: your going to want to go to backtrack's irc channel | 06:15 |
| Andy-at-home | i need to go before I say something we will all regret | 06:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Flynn: coffee keeps you awake when you REALLY wanna crack something and its late | 06:17 |

| === blaize0 is now known as blaize | ||
| glitchd | play, yes | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Flynn: its like coffee in an office environment I guess | 06:18 |
| glitchd | play, i have had this problem before, i just dont remember how i fixed it last time | 06:18 |
| ac7ss | Andy-at-home: to keep everything 'tar -c /DIRECTORY |gz >archive.gz' Does that sound right? | 06:18 |
| Flynn | ActionParsnip: i guess | 06:18 |
| sacarlson | Andy-at-home: cd /path/to/dir/to/compress; tar cvf filename.tar . | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | glitchd: press CTRL+ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace | 06:19 |
| sacarlson | Andy-at-home: don't forget the "." at the end | 06:19 |
| Besogon | Andy-at-home: Found it | 06:19 |

| Flynn | Andy-at-home: metacity replace will be for your window decorator | 06:19 |
| Andy-at-home | [06:12] sacarlson: Andy-at-home: that creates a tar of a tar file | 06:19 |
| Andy-at-home | are you trying to screw with me? | 06:20 |
| Besogon | Andy-at-home: you can use '--wildcards' option with 'exclude' options too | 06:20 |
| Flynn | Andy-at-home: wrong person sorry | 06:20 |
| Andy-at-home | dunno how its take more than 5 seconds to find this | 06:20 |
| ac7ss | andy-at-home: to compress the tar file you can use gz | 06:21 |
| Flynn | I got to say I'm loving emacs -nw in ubuntu just a little | 06:21 |
| ohsix | you can also add z olol | 06:21 |
| ohsix | czvf | 06:21 |
| sacarlson | Andy-at-home: yes that might cause recusion so maybe beter to be one dir back of where you start. tar cvf tarfile.tar ./path/to/compress | 06:21 |
| ohsix | but by the time you're throwing this many letters around, it's probably best to read the manual | 06:21 |
| ac7ss | andy-at-home: add a z to the cvf 'czvf' | 06:21 |

| wizardken | like how they work etc | 06:22 |
| ohsix | wikipedia :D | 06:22 |
| ac7ss | scarlson: I don't think tar compresses without the z option. | 06:22 |
| Flynn | Andy-at-home: your trying to extract a compressed file?? if you have a gui running, why not a little good oh' right clicking? | 06:22 |
| boomtnt | is there a different between cvf and czvf? | 06:22 |
| ohsix | boota2: it compresses the output with gzip when z is in there | 06:22 |
| Besogon | Andy-at-home: tar don't compress files actually. It make only a 'container' for them/ No compress files you should use filters gnuzip for example | 06:22 |
| Flynn | boomtnt: z is another argument added to the equation | 06:23 |
| Andy-at-home | thanks all, ill figure it out | 06:23 |

| natet | I had a windows 7 install on /dev/sdb, and installed ubuntu on /dev/sda | 06:26 |
| natet | Grub doesn't see the windows partition. | 06:26 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: true I like z that's what I normally use, and I tested it just now and I can do it with tar cvzf backup.gz . from within the dir seems to still work with the "." at the end | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | natet: try: sudo apt-get -y install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub | 06:27 |
| dpn` | howdy, anyone know why commands like <super>s wouldn't be working for me in compiz? | 06:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dpn`: its not defined as a shortcut in any of your active plugins | 06:27 |
| dpn` | ActionParsnip, well actually super-s does something weird with the shutdown button in lynx... so i changed it to super-x in my plugin and it still isn't working :( | 06:28 |
| Flynn | natet: gparted is great for partitioning while dualbooting in my experience the easy way. grub will have to be fixed if installing windows on a already linux machine | 06:28 |
| Besogon | dpn`: you can tune compize for your taste | 06:28 |
| natet | No love. | 06:28 |
| dpn` | Well i've set up the keyboard shortcut and it's not working :) | 06:28 |
| natet | Flynn: Windows was installed first. | 06:28 |
| natet | os-prober was already installed. | 06:28 |
| ActionParsnip | natet: does it show windows in the final output? | 06:28 |
| natet | nope | 06:29 |
| ActionParsnip | natet: thats why I used ; instead of && | 06:29 |
| Besogon | natet: May be you just haven't got Windows bootloader now | 06:29 |

| nimrod[A] | yup | 06:32 |
| nimrod[A] | i have this pretty old computer | 06:32 |

| nimrod[A] | and it refuses to boot any distro of ubuntu | 06:33 |
| bazhang | nimrod[A], on a single line please | 06:33 |

| nimrod[A] | sorry :s | 06:33 |
| bazhang | nimrod[A], what are the specs of said computer | 06:33 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, you can do a "1-liner" | 06:33 |
| ac7ss | Flynn sacarlson: just trying to command line a loop 'echo Ping; sleep 30' | 06:33 |
| natet | ActionParsnip: it wasn't, but I mounted it and re-ran the os-prober and update-grub and still no dice. | 06:34 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: for i in `cat myfile.txt`; do echo $i; done | 06:34 |
| critical_max | no script file needed | 06:34 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: ping will loop and you can provide the time interval | 06:34 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: tell us more about what kind of loop you need though | 06:34 |
| ActionParsnip | natet: worth a shot | 06:35 |
| ac7ss | critical_max. thats pretty much it. I just want to repeat a command. | 06:35 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: ping -i 30 google.com | 06:35 |
| natet | ActionParsnip: Yeah. I've been trying every half baked thing I could find in the forums. | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | natet: thats all I know about gub (I don't dual boot so have zero issues with grub). Maybe others can contribute | 06:35 |
| nimrod[A] | (bazhang): would it be ok if i pasted a link to the specifications? | 06:35 |
| samuel__ | hey everyone , i would like to delete an nfts partition from my hdd and reformat it to ext. i have downloaded gparted, but unsure in how to do this ? | 06:35 |
| ActionParsnip | sacarlson: could add: -c 4 to that too ;) | 06:36 |
| bazhang | nimrod[A], paste.ubuntu.com please if more than a single line | 06:36 |
| nimrod[A] | ok | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | samuel__: ubuntu can do that on its own | 06:36 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: knowing more about what you're repeating would help specifically. There's also "watch [command]" to play with | 06:36 |
| ac7ss | sacarlson: not actually pinging. | 06:36 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: ActionParsnip: yes you can have it time out after a count -c | 06:36 |
| natet | ActionParsnip: this is the first time I've had a problem dual booting. | 06:36 |
| ActionParsnip | samuel__: you don't need to download anything special | 06:36 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: the use cases do vary a bit based on what you're running, not all apps will accept the same jiggery | 06:36 |
| samuel__ | actionparsnip: Then how do i do this ? | 06:36 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: not actually pinging? be more specific | 06:37 |
| ActionParsnip | samuel__: under system you will see gparted. As long as the ntfs partition is unmounted, you can do what you like with it | 06:37 |
| mungo- | metacity --replace doesn't work for me | 06:37 |
| ac7ss | 'cpufreq-info -c1|grep 'governor"'|sed 's/.* "//;s/".*// | 06:37 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: try "watch 10 'yourbigstringofcommands' " | 06:38 |
| ac7ss | is that more specific? | 06:38 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: yes that helps :) | 06:38 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: watch should probably cover that | 06:38 |
| samuel__ | actionparsnip: alright , gparted is open , selected the hdd, now do i just right click and unmount my nfts partition ? | 06:38 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: closer and you want to loop on what value? | 06:38 |
| ac7ss | I just want to repeat it after a ';sleep' | 06:39 |
| ActionParsnip | samuel__: yes, when you delete the partition it will destroy the data so make sure you have copied off all you need | 06:39 |
| Besogon | natet: Something that may help | 06:39 |

| Kimmen | hid3: what does aplay -l give? | 06:40 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: while 1; do sleep 5s; watch [command]; done | 06:40 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: in the time it took to ask you could have wrote the script | 06:40 |
| samuel__ | Actionparsnip: ok , i have unmounted , should i delete it , or just "format to" | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | samuel__: indeed | 06:40 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, i couldn't get your pipe chain to run but try fleshing it out inside a 1-liner like the one I just pasted | 06:40 |
| ActionParsnip | hid3: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 06:40 |
| nimrod[A] | (bazhang): | 06:41 |
| nimrod[A] | http://paste.ubuntu.com/584156/ | 06:41 |
| hid3 | Kimmen: it gives this: aplay: device_list:207: no soundcards found... | 06:41 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: wait a second, i've got mixed up :P just put your command in... or just run it with "watch" without the loop surrounding, watch automatically sleeps | 06:41 |
| nimrod[A] | the pc is kind of outdated which is why i want to put ubuntu on it | 06:41 |
| dpn` | ActionParsnip, FWIW i needed to restart compiz after installing plugins | 06:41 |
| hid3 | ActionParsnip: here's the output: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a4fac105c4c158727de03997ce2dcaf1408a040a | 06:41 |
| critical_max | so either "while 1; do sleep 5s; [command]; done" OR "watch [command]" | 06:41 |
| samuel__ | actionparsnip: alright .. formatting now :) thanks :) | 06:42 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: ^ | 06:42 |
| ac7ss | Got it with a while : ;do ..... ;done | 06:42 |
| critical_max | beautiful | 06:42 |
| ac7ss | thx. | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | dpn`: not something I use, causes too many headaches | 06:42 |
| critical_max | if you need to step through a text file to control a loop like that, use "for i in `cat textfile`; do stuff; done" | 06:42 |
| ActionParsnip | hid3: debian isn't supported here | 06:42 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: those few bits of glue will get you FAR :) | 06:43 |

| the_5th_wheel | Howdy. I just upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04 By means of a fresh install. I use LTSP. And the upgraded terminals seem much slower. I noticed that my ltsp images arelike 600mb. Is that normal? It seems overly large | 06:44 |
| samuel__ | actionparsnip: ok i have formatted it , now do i have to mount it again to see it in "my computer" ? | 06:44 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: one more caution: you should usually build your loop with "echo" to show your intended command strings, before letting it loose | 06:44 |
| ActionParsnip | samuel__: it should appear in the places menu, if you add it in /etc/fstab it will mount at boot | 06:44 |
| hid3 | ActionParsnip: just a minute | 06:44 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: ex. while 1; do echo "rm -rf allmystuff"; done will keep you safer before running the actual command... | 06:45 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: kind of a debugging method i guess | 06:45 |
| ohsix | theres also saferm, which will change rm to an alternative that will do extra checking of paths | 06:45 |
| critical_max | ohsix: i think he's just parsing cpufreq-info output | 06:46 |
| ac7ss | critical_max: too many quotes nested in there to escape easily. and it was just a grep/sed. | 06:46 |
| definity | Oi | 06:46 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: yeah, not so critical with that sort of thing, but you'll want to use it for potentially destructive commands eventually down the road. | 06:46 |
| ohsix | critical_max: i never miss an opportunity to mention safe-rm :] | 06:46 |
| bazhang | nimrod[A], looks good, more ram would be better obviously; could you boot the live cd and run lspci for the network cards? | 06:46 |
| critical_max | ohsix: absolutely, i'm checking it out now :) | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: and not using force | 06:46 |
| * ac7ss never scripts any rm with wildcards! | 06:46 | |
| definity | what theame/ windows manager is this? | 06:47 |

| ohsix | ActionParsnip: as is rm path -options | 06:47 |
| bazhang | definity, its the top command | 06:47 |
| nimrod[A] | (bazhang): i used an ubuntu server disc, ill burn a desktop disc. | 06:47 |
| definity | the window manager? | 06:47 |
| definity | or theame? | 06:48 |
| Besogon | theame? | 06:48 |
| nimrod[A] | but i could use the server disc and it did install fine | 06:48 |

| bazhang | definity, no, its a command you run to see processes in the terminal | 06:48 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: I tried while [1]; do sleep 1; done but fails | 06:48 |
| definity | yeah but i asked what is the theam/ window manager running? do u know? | 06:49 |
| grindcrusher | try while true; etc. | 06:49 |
| critical_max | sacarlson: you have to use spaces in the conditionals if you use that syntax | 06:49 |
| critical_max | sacarlson: like [ 1 ] | 06:49 |
| ac7ss | sacarlson: try 'while : ;do echo 1;sleep;done | 06:49 |
| sacarlson | critical_max: cool I'll try that | 06:49 |
| critical_max | sacarlson: I like "while 1" myself for a 1-liner, less typing | 06:51 |
| ac7ss | ok, easy one now: how do you echo a line up on the screen? | 06:51 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: critical_max; yes this works while [ 1 ] ; do echo test; sleep 2 ; done | 06:51 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: by line up do you mean repeat the last commadn entered? | 06:51 |
| ac7ss | Like Critical_Max: while : | 06:51 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: i don't get your question i'm afraid. | 06:52 |
| ac7ss | Critical_Max: no I want to move the cursor point up the screen by 1 | 06:53 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, you want to print an empty line? "echo" | 06:53 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, still not following you properly | 06:54 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, the cursor in bash is just a text entry point, if you're trying to do something like select text you need to specify that. | 06:54 |
| sacarlson | critical_max: I just tested with while 1; do echo test; sleep 2 ; done and it fails | 06:55 |
| ac7ss | Critical_Max: I want to move the cursor up. so the next echo is on top of the last line. | 06:55 |

| charlos | wait i see now | 06:57 |
| cosmo | Tm_T, the 64 bit version? | 06:57 |
| charlos | yes work cheesee on webcam is okey | 06:58 |
| Tm_T | cosmo: yes | 06:58 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, looks like the emacs mode controls are only within the line...still looking for ya | 06:58 |
| charlos | but why not work for pidgin ? | 06:58 |
| cosmo | sweet | 06:58 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, i still think you should be printing both at once as a more proper solution | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | charlos: cool, then all is well | 06:58 |
| * ac7ss doesn't ask the easy questions. | 06:58 | |
| Jordan_U | sacarlson: critical_max: ac7ss: "while true; do foo; done" is clearest IMHO | 06:58 |
| ac7ss | Critical_Max: I want to overwrite the old info. | 06:59 |
| critical_max | Jordan_U, i agree. i was confusing "while 1" and "while true" syntax | 06:59 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: use clear | 06:59 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: or say why it doesn't work so we can suggest something more useful :) | 06:59 |
| charlos | oh thanks | 06:59 |
| critical_max | ac7ss: watch has built in "clear" type functionality, too | 06:59 |
| nimrod[A] | (bazhang): it wont boot a live desktop cd, but it will boot and install using an ubuntu server disc | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | ac7ss: What is your end goal? | 06:59 |
| charlos | now I see pidgin for on webcam if work ... I will tell u, ok | 07:00 |
| sacarlson | Jordan_U: yes that also works while true; do echo test; sleep 2 ; done , and I have writen code that did that move cusor up one and overwrite before and forget the control code | 07:00 |
| charlos | but how to call webcam on pidgin ? | 07:00 |
| nimrod[A] | it showed the purple screen for a second then went black and is doing nothing now | 07:00 |
| ac7ss | Jordan_U: I want to have an updating status on the screen. | 07:00 |
| nimrod[A] | except spinning the dc | 07:00 |
| nimrod[A] | cd** | 07:00 |
| bazhang | nimrod[A], did you md5 the iso? burn at low speed, and do the disk integrity check? the alternate cd might work if you have done all those things and still have issues | 07:00 |
| charlos | my friend want see me but I dont know where is click on call webcam in pidgin ? | 07:00 |
| nimrod[A] | ive done the alt cd before | 07:01 |
| ac7ss | I think I will stay with clear | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | charlos: maybe there is a setting in pidgin to configure video before it will work... | 07:01 |
| nimrod[A] | the alt cd will install but it wont boot at all | 07:01 |
| Besogon | charlos: I think Pidgin don't support webcam | 07:01 |
| sacarlson | ac7ss: well it will be the only thing running in that term so I guess the clear should work as good as any | 07:01 |
| charlos | yes ? | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | charlos: not sure, look in the options / preferences | 07:01 |
| nimrod[A] | i used an iso from the ubuntu site bruned and did a disc verify using imgburn at 4x write speed | 07:01 |
| charlos | I must reinstaller in Pidgin again install and after work on webcam , really ? | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Besogon: the new one does | 07:01 |
| nimrod[A] | burned** | 07:01 |
| ActionParsnip | charlos: what protocol are you using to chat? | 07:02 |
| charlos | i dont know | 07:02 |
| charlos | i am never trined | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | charlos: msn? yahoo? Aol? | 07:02 |
| charlos | help me how to command see for you ? | 07:02 |
| charlos | yahoo | 07:02 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, I installed cpufreq-info but your grep + sed isn't working so well for me. I really think "watch" is the best solution given the info we have. | 07:02 |
| charlos | pidgin for yahoo and msn | 07:02 |
| bazhang | nimrod[A], well you could always install ubuntu-desktop package on top of the server install, but its odd that none of the other options are working | 07:02 |
| nimrod[A] | well | 07:02 |
| ActionParsnip | charlos: you may need to use gyache then. | 07:02 |
| nimrod[A] | the server wont even boot for me to be able to do so | 07:02 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, can you tell me what info you're trying to pull out of the complete cpufreq-info -c1 output? | 07:02 |
| charlos | ActionParsnip> privat me | 07:03 |
| nimrod[A] | ivedone this with Debian5, kubuntu, and others, all do the same thing, i just figured i'd rekindle the flame lol | 07:04 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, i will build a 'watch' command that does what you want in the simplest fashion | 07:04 |
| ac7ss | critical_max: it grabs the governor from the full text. try the command without the grep. | 07:04 |
| critical_max | ok, so for example "The governor "ondemand" ..." you're looking for "ondemand" in that case? | 07:04 |
| charlos | ActionParsnip> not work apt-cache search gyache | 07:05 |
| charlos | nothing see | 07:05 |
| charlos | no have | 07:05 |
| definity | anybody have any experience with Solar Os | 07:05 |

| ac7ss | critical_max: I did it with wait. just had to escape some of the "s | 07:06 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, watch 'cpufreq-info -p | cut -f 3 -d " "' | 07:06 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, that's all it takes | 07:06 |
| Besogon | definity: Ypu are at wrong place :) | 07:06 |
| Besogon | you | 07:06 |
| critical_max | a combination of watch (whose entire job is to sleep and clear and rerun) and cut | 07:06 |
| definity | cant find an irc for it | 07:06 |
| critical_max | also i used the -p switch to just spit out the current governor | 07:06 |
| charlos | gyachi ? | 07:07 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, and cut is just going to the third field given a delimiter of a space | 07:07 |
| ac7ss | critical_max: Ok, that cleaned it up. THX | 07:07 |
| bazhang | definity, that does not make this the solar os support channel; try #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:07 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, my pleasure | 07:07 |

| Syria | Hey, after editing a php file using nano what should i do to save the changes? | 07:07 |
| nimrod[A] | ctrl+x | 07:07 |
| Kimmen | or ctrl+o | 07:07 |
| Syria | nimrod Kimmen thnx guys | 07:08 |
| Kimmen | np | 07:08 |
| Besogon | Syria: ;D | 07:08 |
| nimrod[A] | yw | 07:08 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, watch -n 10 to make it 10 seconds instead of default 2, or w/e you want | 07:08 |
| charlos | ActionParsnip> hey how to command for gyachi-1.2.7.tar.gz ? | 07:09 |
| critical_max | basically i only go to "while true" loops if I can't get "watch" to do the job. | 07:09 |
| ohsix | Syria: there are some instructions for common commands at the bottom, ^ = ctrl | 07:09 |
| charlos | ActionParsnip> say me please | 07:10 |
| ac7ss | critical_max: I was having trouble with a trailing ; and having to escape many of the quotes. | 07:10 |
| nimrod[A] | but, i have no idea why my old ass computer wont boot ubuntu, i guess its technilogically impaired | 07:10 |
| arvut | nimrod[A]: find another distro that will =) | 07:11 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, yeah sed gets unreadable in a hurry | 07:11 |
| Kimmen | charlos: this will extract the file: tar -xzvf gyachi-1.2.7.tar.gz | 07:11 |
| nimrod[A] | ive tried others and none work lol | 07:11 |
| critical_max | nimrod[A], try Damn Small Linux, it will run on almost anything | 07:11 |
| arvut | is is a 386 or something? | 07:11 |
| charlos | and after ? | 07:11 |
| * nimrod[A] installs slackware | 07:11 | |
| nimrod[A] | *lol* | 07:11 |
| Kimmen | charlos: look for a README file | 07:11 |
| arvut | critical_max: wont run on my old 386 :P | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | charlos: there may be a ppa with it too | 07:12 |
| arvut | made for msdos5.0 | 07:12 |
| critical_max | arvut, i knew someone was going to say that haha | 07:12 |
| ac7ss | critical_max: sed 's/\/\.\\//' | 07:12 |
| nimrod[A] | anyway | 07:12 |
| ActionParsnip | charlos: or (easier) use msn messenger and install amsn using standard ubuntu repos | 07:12 |
| arvut | critical_max: I knew that would be me ^_^ | 07:12 |
| charlos | i have amsn | 07:12 |
| alkisg | What packages do I have to remove to *disable* NTFS volume mounting? | 07:12 |
| alkisg | $ dpkg -l '*ntfs*' | grep ^ii | 07:12 |

| alkisg | /dev/sda1 on /media/Vista type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1010,gid=1010,dmask=0077) | 07:12 |

| charlos | but pidgin want work on webcam | 07:12 |
| nimrod[A] | thanks for the help guys, i guess ill figure it out or scrap the junker :P | 07:12 |
| charlos | im dont tar -xzvf gyachi-1.2.7.tar.gz | 07:12 |
| charlos | and after what command ? | 07:13 |
| ActionParsnip | charlos: i know it does for some protocols, not all | 07:13 |
| critical_max | arvut, i had edgy on a pentium ii for years | 07:13 |
| charlos | how to see protocol ? command ifconfig ? | 07:13 |
| * ac7ss has an old laptop he cannot load linux onto. | 07:13 | |
| critical_max | arvut, 128 mb ram + icewm + firefox = surprisingly usable | 07:13 |
| ac7ss | my laptop has no usb, cd, only a 50meg hdd. | 07:14 |
| arvut | critical_max: now that I can understand. but try to find a linux distro that will run on a machine with 2mb ram, 20mb hdd & a "superfast cpu" (speed not specified in bios) | 07:14 |
| critical_max | arvut, hmm... PC/M? :) | 07:15 |
| Kimmen | then it is a 8-20MHz 386 ;) | 07:15 |
| Kimmen | possibly :P | 07:15 |
| critical_max | i'd rock the LOGO Turtle all over that box. | 07:15 |
| ac7ss | Thinking of scrapping the machine and using the monitor as an aux screen. | 07:15 |
| lolcat | arvut: How can you get 2MB ram on a Sandy Bridge mobo? | 07:15 |
| ac7ss | arvut: that sounds like my laptop! | 07:16 |
| === hrezaei is now known as hosein | ||
| arvut | its a UniŦron machine, they made copies of old macs in the 80's, Apple II for example. | 07:16 |
| * critical_max put a mid 90s thinkpad online with ubuntu, working wireless, never again though | 07:16 | |
| arvut | lolcat: who said anything about a sandy bridge mobo? =P | 07:17 |
| critical_max | arvut, woah, rare bear... 68000? and now we are well off topic :) | 07:17 |
| ac7ss | critical_max: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. | 07:17 |
| lolcat | arvut: It is the only fast cpu out there | 07:17 |
| arvut | critical_max: #offtopic made no sense so I came here, looks like no help is needed so lets continue ;) | 07:18 |
| critical_max | haha | 07:18 |
| arvut | lolcat, you missed the "not specified in bios" part, did ya? | 07:18 |
| critical_max | well if it's a mac clone, it doesn't have BIOS | 07:19 |
| critical_max | arvut, hell it doesn't even have OpenFirmware yet... | 07:19 |
| arvut | bios actually says "superfast cpu" or something like that.. | 07:19 |
| arvut | so I can't be sure its a 386 | 07:19 |
| lolcat | arvut: Bios doesnt specify how fast the sandy is | 07:20 |
| critical_max | arvut, if it's a mac clone it's definitely a motorola 68k family, and at 2mb likely the 68000 | 07:20 |
| ac7ss | There are so many commands in linux, it is very helpful to ask around here. | 07:20 |
| arvut | lolcat, you make me l0l >.> its in the bios of a machine from the 80's! | 07:20 |
| critical_max | arvut, if it's an apple II clone it depends on what model they are cloning, i don't remember the main apple II chip family | 07:20 |
| lolcat | arvut: Sandy Bridge isn't that old | 07:21 |
| arvut | I think its more of a pc clone, since it came with M$Ð0$ 5.0 | 07:21 |
| critical_max | ac7ss, there sure are, but you can take all this bash trix right to Redhat now if you need to and most of it to Mac OS X :) that's the beauty of it | 07:21 |
| Kimmen | lolcat: that's why he had to mod it to be able to run 2MB RAM | 07:21 |
| critical_max | arvut, gotcha, "PC compatible"... does it have a Turbo Button?! | 07:22 |
| lolcat | arvut: There is NO fast cpu's from '80 | 07:22 |
| Kimmen | oh, those are cool | 07:22 |
| arvut | critical_max: I wish.. | 07:22 |
| ohsix | they were in the 80s | 07:22 |
| arvut | had one on my first pc tho, from 40mhz to 80mhz with a shiny lcd display ^.^ | 07:23 |

| Adam1213 | the video tests in systems testing don't work + java 3d won't work on my current installation of ubuntu but it works when i run the live version of ubuntu - how can I find out the difference between the two and use it to fix my graphics / can I get ubunutu to fix itself | 07:23 |
| arvut | this one is.. slim | 07:23 |
| jmirra | why was there a turbo button on old pc's? | 07:23 |
| Kimmen | to get them into turbo mode | 07:24 |
| Nalkem | moin moin | 07:24 |
| jmirra | Kimmen: was there ever a need to not be in turbo mode? | 07:24 |
| Kimmen | nope | 07:24 |

| ubottu | jmirra: #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! | 07:24 |
| ac7ss | jmirra: I just wrote a script to drop out of turbo mode. | 07:24 |
| ohsix | people didn't know if it was safe to run them at full speed the whole time | 07:25 |
| Kimmen | you could disable turbo mode because some programs ran too fast in rubo mode | 07:25 |
| Syria | !phpmyadmin | 07:25 |
| ohsix | plus a lot of old games would break in turbo mode | 07:25 |

| silv3r_m00n | hi there , I have a non-english pdf , but when I copy text from it , it becomes garbage | 07:28 |
| alkisg | If I manually delete ntfs.ko, then I can disable access to ntfs volumes. But blacklisting it won't work. Why? | 07:28 |
| the_file | kimmen: an online service cause I don't got a bank | 07:28 |
| silv3r_m00n | how to copy text from non-english pdf files ? | 07:28 |
| maxillusionist | ac7ss are you charging somebody $$$ | 07:28 |
| maxillusionist | don't do it | 07:28 |
| the_file | silv3r_m00n: just copy the ascii..... | 07:29 |
| Besogon | silv3r_m00n: Install official PDF reader. From abode | 07:29 |
| maxillusionist | linux is free | 07:29 |
| Besogon | adobe | 07:29 |
| ac7ss | maxillusionist: I was giving someone an alternative to paypal. | 07:29 |
| maxillusionist | ok | 07:29 |
| maxillusionist | i thought otherwise | 07:29 |
| maxillusionist | LOL | 07:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | Besogon: yes I am using adobe acrobat reader | 07:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | it can open it fine , but when copy pasted elsewhere , it gets ruined | 07:30 |
| maxillusionist | well how many here like open source | 07:30 |
| ac7ss | maxillusionist: I only charge for my time. I am on the clock at work now. | 07:30 |
| alkisg | silv3r_m00n: some PDF files don't contain the maps required for copy to work. You can't do anything about it other than using some ORC or hex-editing the pdf to fix the winansiencoding of the font. | 07:30 |
| maxillusionist | so you are a freelancer | 07:30 |
| maxillusionist | wow | 07:30 |
| maxillusionist | you must be developing open source softwares | 07:30 |
| ac7ss | maxillusionist: no, I am a rail controller, killing the slow time on my shift. | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | maxillusionist: in what sense do you mean? | 07:31 |
| ac7ss | maxillusionist: I am a linux hobbiest. | 07:31 |
| hellslinger | anyone here use the faenza icon ppa? | 07:31 |
| maxillusionist | not a linux developer | 07:31 |
| maxillusionist | still fine | 07:31 |

| maxillusionist | ActionParnship it means freelancing works for making softwares | 07:32 |
| maxillusionist | or you have clients and they give you $$ for making softwares for them | 07:33 |
| ac7ss | sacarlson: they de-rail on their own. I just have to fix it after. | 07:33 |
| cosmo | hmmm I'm thinking I need to do a fresh install but I need to figure out how to back up the important stuff, I really dont want to have to re-download all this non-repository stuff | 07:33 |
| ejv | was there a question in there cosmo ? | 07:33 |

| maxillusionist | ok | 07:33 |
| maxillusionist | it was just something i meant | 07:34 |
| nikkii | "The output directory 'logs' has to be set world-writable to allow the | 07:34 |
| maxillusionist | well i love c/c++ | 07:34 |
| nikkii | web-server to dump log files and traces in there." how do i do this? | 07:34 |
| maxillusionist | presently working at java | 07:34 |
| ejv | maxillusionist: please move any non-ubuntu support chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 07:34 |
| arvut | ejv: forcemove would be rude. | 07:35 |
| critical_max | nikkii, best way is to find out what user/group your webserver is running as. Set ownership of that directory to match, then allow user to write to it | 07:35 |
| Andy-at-home | guys, I receiving the error 'Your defined data root directory, /var/webappdata1/, is not writable. Please make the directory if it does not exist, or give ownership of the directory to the web server user if it does.' | 07:35 |
| Andy-at-home | in the top program I have two users (root and apache) that run httpd | 07:35 |
| ejv | arvut: pardon? | 07:35 |
| Andy-at-home | i used chmod -R 777 webappdata1 and chown -R apache webappdata1 but I'm still receiving the error | 07:35 |
| cosmo | ejv, yeah anyone know any guides for backing up your important stuff, as well as one for the correct way to set up things like a home partition, I tend to be lost on manually setting gparted | 07:35 |
| Karen_m | i created a thumbdrive persistent install of Ubuntu, however when the machine is booting up, I get the Ubuntu screen and it just rotates the red/white dots forever... (at least it's been 5 minutes) | 07:36 |
| nikkii | critical_max, how do i find out what user/group my webserver is running as? | 07:36 |
| maxillusionist | ejv i was just telling that it is good idea to develop free softwares | 07:36 |
| critical_max | nikkii, is it apache? | 07:36 |
| maxillusionist | an dit is good all the time | 07:36 |
| Starminn | How can I set an executable to just automatically "Run" instead of prompting me every time? | 07:36 |
| maxillusionist | *and | 07:36 |
| nikkii | critical_max, it's micro-httpd | 07:36 |
| ejv | cosmo: typically stuff in /home and /etc are *most* important to people, I would look into backing those up, as for partitioning: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | 07:36 |
| sacarlson | Andy-at-home: strange I thought the default apache install was user www-data | 07:37 |
| critical_max | nikkii, something like "ps -ef|grep micro-httpd" | 07:37 |
| ejv | maxillusionist: that's fine, just do it in the offtopic channel. | 07:37 |
| wizardken | can logical partitions have a mount point? | 07:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: make a launcher for it, may help | 07:37 |
| ac7ss | wizardken:yes. | 07:37 |
| Karen_m | does anyone know? | 07:37 |
| hellslinger | is there an irc channel for ubuntu themes and artwork? | 07:37 |
| Andy-at-home | lol, ;) | 07:37 |
| ejv | !patience | Karen_m | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Karen_m: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 07:38 |
| critical_max | nikkii, first word in that line is the user it's running under | 07:38 |
| maxillusionist | ok ejv but when you will have your own hardware and linux drivers will not support it then you will find me | 07:38 |
| critical_max | Karen_m, if it's an old machine with slow/little RAM, it can take aaaages | 07:38 |

| maxillusionist | the port no | 07:40 |
| Karen_m | hellslinger, how do you see it? | 07:40 |
| shirokko | maxillusionist: I used the default one | 07:40 |
| maxillusionist | then make a bash script to search for live hosts | 07:40 |
| maxillusionist | easy | 07:40 |
| ActionParsnip | shirokko: shares don't have IPs. The host does and the shares are managed by samba which runs on a port | 07:40 |
| sacarlson | shirokko: there must be easier ways but for one to monitor with wireshark to see what trafic it comes from if you can't just get the ip from the windows box itself | 07:40 |
| critical_max | Karen_m, ok, it's probably some sort of driver issue. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the persistent installations. perhaps someone who is can be of assistance. | 07:40 |
| maxillusionist | then it might show live hosts isn't it | 07:40 |
| shirokko | ActionParsnip: yeah, I need the hosts ip | 07:41 |
| Jordan_U | Karen_m: How large is the USB drive? | 07:41 |
| hellslinger | Karen_m, I forget, does the grub bootmenu appear when you attempt to boot? | 07:41 |
| Karen_m | 4GB | 07:41 |
| Karen_m | hellslinger, it auto-boots .. I think it does display but very quick | 07:41 |
| maxillusionist | sacarlson you use wireshark | 07:42 |
| maxillusionist | hacker boy | 07:42 |
| sacarlson | maxillusionist: yes | 07:42 |
| Jordan_U | Karen_m: That's enough for a normal install, which I prefer to a persistant Live install. | 07:42 |
| critical_max | shirokko, if you want to find the port use "sudo netstat -plutn|grep smb" | 07:42 |
| ActionParsnip | shirokko: if you are connected to a share you can run: mount a | 07:42 |
| Karen_m | Jordan_U, how do you install to the USB drive? | 07:42 |
| critical_max | shirokko, that command will also show you what IP smbd is bound to (Likely binding to ALL on the interface, indicated by :::[port]) | 07:43 |
| hellslinger | Karen_m, if you can get it to pause when the boot options appear, press ctrl-x (if I'm not mistaken) on the line of boot and remove the "quiet" and "splash" options from the kernel line | 07:43 |
| JeeM0edErr | I wanne Suck All Boys | 07:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Sorry: mount and see the hostname, dig the hostname to see the IP | 07:43 |
| sacarlson | maxillusionist: in this case maybe sudo netstat -pant would be better for shirokko ? | 07:43 |
| critical_max | sacarlson, ahh i missed that shirokko is on the client side...whoops! | 07:44 |
| Jordan_U | Karen_m: Easiest way is to boot from a LiveCD or another LiveUSB and do a normal install. If you have enough RAM (> 1GiB) you can also install from the same USB you booted from, but that's more difficult. | 07:44 |
| Karen_m | Jordan_U, I would need to install from the USB i'm running on. I do not have a cdrom in the machine | 07:45 |
| Karen_m | and I only have 1 thumbdrive | 07:45 |
| shirokko | maxillusionist: got it, thanks | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | Karen_m: How much RAM do you have? | 07:45 |
| Karen_m | 4GB | 07:46 |

| critical_max | !partitioning hemza | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | critical_max: i believe one is a sy | 08:04 |
| critical_max | hah. short answer: use a Live CD to repartition and make swap larger | 08:05 |

| critical_max | Andy-at-home, user is in first column | 08:06 |
| critical_max | hemza, you can repartition non destructively. how much RAM do you have? swap doesn't need to be much more than 2x RAM or so | 08:06 |
| hemza | critical_max, 2 GB | 08:07 |
| critical_max | hemza, and what size is your swap at the moment? | 08:07 |
| hemza | critical_max, no swap at this moment | 08:07 |
| hosein | !gksu | 08:08 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 08:08 |
| critical_max | hemza, is there a swap partition sitting unused on the drive? if so "sudo swapon" will turn it on | 08:08 |
| critical_max | hemza, otherwise use a current Ubuntu installer CD to resize a partition that has free space, then create a swap partition of 4GB | 08:08 |
| hemza | critical_max, No | 08:09 |
| Andy-at-home | thanks, it was what I thought | 08:09 |
| critical_max | hemza, ok, installer has you covered then. | 08:09 |
| critical_max | hemza, just take 4gb from your other partition and make a new one of type swap, the kernel will recognize it on next booth | 08:09 |
| critical_max | boot* | 08:09 |
| abhijain | critical_max: there is no such directory /.mozilla in /home folder | 08:10 |

| critical_max | /home/abhijain or whatnot | 08:10 |
| hemza | critical_max, I can use gparted to create new partition and formatted to swap. but how to recognize it? | 08:10 |
| critical_max | Andy-at-home, it could be php permissions, php by default is very restrictive | 08:11 |
| critical_max | Andy-at-home, check your php config | 08:11 |
| abhijain | critical_max: yes /home/abhishek/ ??? | 08:11 |
| abhijain | critical_max: i dont have such folder | 08:11 |
| critical_max | hemza, it should just be recognized. look up swapon if it's not. | 08:11 |
| critical_max | abhijain, if you don't have /home/abhishek/.mozilla i don't know where it is. sorry. | 08:12 |

| critical_max | Andy-at-home, "php apache write permissions" would be a good google. It's been a while and I don't have the answer in my head. | 08:13 |
| critical_max | it's a dirt common problem though for new installs | 08:13 |

| critical_max | oh wow, .config is still used? I had just checked all through all of .gconf and .gnome2.. | 08:17 |
| ohsix | [deXter]: you can ask the package manager for all sorts of things, dpkg -L package will list all the files, if it's something in the menu it'll have a .desktop file with it | 08:17 |
| critical_max | my bad. | 08:17 |
| [deXter] | ohsix: Cool, thanks. :) | 08:18 |
| bullgard4 | Murphant: Difficult. You can consult dmesg for a partial answer. | 08:18 |

| adamkex | So if I have RAID 1 on a computer, and one out of two of the hard drives fail, what happens to the second one? | 08:19 |

| [deXter] | Besogon: Oh, forgot about freedesktop.org. Thanks. | 08:20 |
| critical_max | Murphant, that's not normally a blocker. mine shows up unrecognized but 'just works'. as do most all LCDs | 08:20 |
| Murphant | but I can change the config manually on each boot, no problem | 08:20 |
| Murphant | critical_max but I tried "save to x configuration file" even with sudo and it doesn't seem to care | 08:21 |
| critical_max | Murphant, that sort of thing is a nightmare from the past. Have you tried just removing the Nvidia driver, using the Ubuntu "Restricted hardware driver" manager to install its choice of Nvidia driver and go from there? | 08:22 |

| azizLIGHTS | what should i use to go back to how my ubuntu was , 2 months ago,? | 08:44 |
| [Lemmy] | i made a bootable usb stick from the iso image, netbook boots fine, ubuntu starts, and after the second dialog in the installer nothing happens | 08:44 |
| Murphant | critical_max: huh, I thought they would have fixed it by now, I'l look into it, thx | 08:44 |

| critical_max | mURPHANT: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9678269&postcount=14 | 08:45 |
| azizLIGHTS | ok yes? which one how? ac7ss | 08:45 |
| critical_max | Murphant: looks like you just have to get a newer driver than is packaged with your ubuntu release by default | 08:45 |

| critical_max | murphant: thread linked has details | 08:45 |
| ac7ss | azizLIGHTS: did you back up 2 months ago? | 08:45 |
| Guest53140 | sorry | 08:45 |
| Guest53140 | can i have it back.. | 08:46 |
| Guest53140 | new to xchat | 08:46 |
| hosein | syria: oh no! I just clicked on the red button of its progress bar, and it has removed from list! where can I resume it? | 08:46 |
| azizLIGHTS | ac7ss: no, i want to do backups starting now, and ooking for utility suggestion | 08:46 |
| Syria | hosein: Just try installing it once again. | 08:46 |
| azizLIGHTS | ac7ss: do i need fol backup of hdd or just save some files and have rolack ability | 08:46 |
| azizLIGHTS | *rollback | 08:46 |
| ac7ss | azizLIGHTS: I use backup2l, completely automated to a second drive. | 08:47 |
| azizLIGHTS | does any backup utliity integrates into the gui and lets you see "previous version" of files | 08:47 |
| critical_max | syria, often your Apache logs have the answer for that kind of problem. access.log and error.log both. | 08:47 |
| hosein | syria: it will continue? | 08:47 |
| ac7ss | azizLIGHTS: backup2l is good for regular incremental backups. | 08:47 |
| Murphant | critical_max: ty, I will download a driver that apparently works well | 08:47 |
| Syria | hosein: Yeah. | 08:47 |
| azizLIGHTS | ok im cehcking it ac7ss | 08:47 |
| * ac7ss doesn't depend on GUI for much. sorry. | 08:47 | |
| critical_max | Murphant, good luck, you ahead-of-thehardware-curve guy! | 08:47 |
| Syria | critical_max: Where are those files located? | 08:48 |
| critical_max | Syria, /var/log/apache2 on ubuntu | 08:48 |
| hosein | ok. nice! thanks to linux and you | 08:48 |
| ecolitan | hello! | 08:48 |
| Syria | critical_max: Thnx, I will see whats going on there. | 08:48 |
| critical_max | Syria, "sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log" then reproduce the problem and watch the log in realtime :) | 08:48 |
| ecolitan | does anyone know if firefox 4 will be available in 11.4 ? | 08:49 |
| critical_max | !ff4 | ecolitan | 08:49 |
| ubottu | ecolitan: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. To install it, use the PPA by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 08:49 |
| critical_max | oops, i guess that doesn't cover the question | 08:49 |
| bazhang | ecolitan, yes it will, #ubuntu+1 for more | 08:49 |
| critical_max | someone knows :) | 08:49 |
| stimpie | Anyone knows how to route all ssh traffic via a remote ssh server? | 08:50 |
| ecolitan | i was meaning if it will come in the standard repository | 08:50 |
| critical_max | stimpie: the keyword you are looking for is "ssh tunnelling" | 08:50 |
| Murphant | critical_max: well I mostly use the power of the card on windows, and it's not exactly bleeding edge anymore, it's almost a year old | 08:50 |
| ac7ss | azizLIGHTS: there is no "restore point" program for ubuntu that I know of (as a simple setup.) Likely it could be done with a script. | 08:50 |
| bullgard4 | What is the opposite to "established connection"? '~$ sudo netstat -tap' outputs: "Active Internet connections (servers and established)'." | 08:50 |
| bazhang | ecolitan, it will be default installed. #ubuntu+1 is the natty support channel | 08:50 |
| azizLIGHTS | ac7ss: its enogh to tarball /home ? | 08:51 |
| azizLIGHTS | periodically with cron | 08:51 |
| ac7ss | bullgard4: "Not connected"? | 08:51 |
| bullgard4 | ac7ss: How does netstat lis not connected connections= | 08:51 |
| bullgard4 | s/lis/list/ | 08:52 |
| mickster04 | hey guys, can anyone tell me how to find out if i can install ubuntu happily onto a hp mini 5103? | 08:52 |
| ac7ss | azizLIGHTS: you will want to use incremental backups. (that is what backu2l is really good at.) otherwise you get large echos of what you now have. | 08:52 |
| azizLIGHTS | i see yes you are right | 08:52 |
| critical_max | Murphant, the important thing is to get the system to the "known good", albeit non-accelerated state, then you can easily follow any directions to install the proper driver once identified. All those third party nvidia command line apps are relics nowadays. At most the package installation should handle all the running of that config | 08:52 |
| critical_max | You're there, so you should be good to go once you identify the driver | 08:53 |
| critical_max | Murphant, also check into "envy" perhaps | 08:53 |
| bazhang | critical_max, envy has not been around for a long time now | 08:53 |
| critical_max | oh? shows how long since I had these problems >< | 08:54 |
| ac7ss | bullgard4: I do not believe it does. you could use the logs to check for prior connections. | 08:54 |
| critical_max | Do not check into envy in that case :) | 08:54 |
| Syria | critical_max: Is this normal? http://paste.ubuntu.com/584185/ | 08:54 |
| critical_max | Syria, nothing scary in there, you might have to dig in the access log to figure out what's going on | 08:55 |
| critical_max | access.log in the same directory | 08:55 |
| critical_max | again, running tail -f on the access log while reproducing the problem is usually best | 08:56 |
| Murphant | critical_max: I'm afraid that Envy is not supported for 10.4 | 08:56 |
| critical_max | Syria, I also see an "other_vhosts_access.log" which your webserver might be writing too, I'm not sure of your config | 08:56 |
| critical_max | Murphant, Yeah, I'm blushing, someone told me it was outdated right after I mentioned it | 08:57 |
| The_Rufus | I'm installing Ubuntu Server and I have 5 2tb drives in software RAID5, but how do I mount them as /? | 08:57 |
| critical_max | Syria, check both of those if they exist, tail -f while reproducing the problem to make the correlation if possible | 08:57 |
| Guest53140 | any web guru's familliar with epiphany? | 08:57 |
| The_Rufus | if I change the type from "physical volume for RAID", it will break the raid right? | 08:57 |
| critical_max | Guest53140, isn't that the old Gnome browser? | 08:57 |
| Guest53140 | ya | 08:58 |
| Murphant | critical_max: oh, yeah, just saw it | 08:58 |
| Guest53140 | well, maybe | 08:58 |
| === brian is now known as Guest37588 | ||
| ecolitan | The_Rufus: raid with mdadm? | 08:58 |
| Guest53140 | but still an issue | 08:58 |
| Syria | critical_max: is this one helpful http://paste.ubuntu.com/584186/ ? this the access.log | 08:58 |
| The_Rufus | whatever the installer uses | 08:58 |
| Guest53140 | i can't seem to force a cache disable | 08:58 |
| Guest53140 | nor clear forms | 08:59 |
| critical_max | Syria, I can't troubleshoot your php app for you, but I bet the info you need might be in that access log, since it's showing your pages loading. Good luck. | 08:59 |
| Syria | critical_max: Thank you. :) | 08:59 |

| bpr | i just installed an 11.04 build and "alt-f" doesn't skip forward one word. Does anyone have any ideas why this would be? | 09:00 |
| Syria | critical_max: Just one more question please. removing phpmyadmin and re-installing it can solve the problem? | 09:00 |
| bazhang | bpr #ubuntu+1 for natty | 09:00 |

| ragix | Hi guys, my rtl8192se seems to be giving me kernel panics | 09:00 |
| bpr | sry bazhang | 09:00 |
| The_Rufus | damnit, i've been trying to get this server working since November last year | 09:00 |
| The_Rufus | nobody knows how to get RAID working | 09:01 |
| critical_max | Syria: try it and find out, I guess. One more tip: don't be root in the terminal. Use sudo for things that require root privileges in the terminal. | 09:01 |
| ragix | http://paste.ubuntu.com/584187/ | 09:01 |
| critical_max | !sudo | syria | 09:01 |
| ubottu | syria: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 09:01 |
| bars0 | Hi all, I need to install latex but I do not want to install documentation. What is the option in aptitude? | 09:01 |
| The_Rufus | anybody? | 09:03 |
| The_Rufus | or should I just hang myself | 09:03 |
| [Lemmy] | nah, hang the server instead | 09:03 |
| bpr | xb | 09:03 |
| ac7ss | The_Rufus: I would suggests a small boot drive and then mount the raid. | 09:03 |
| The_Rufus | i have a 4gb flash drive mounted as /boot | 09:03 |
| critical_max | The_Rufus, i find it hard to believe that there are no walkthroughs for RAID5 installation via the Ubuntu installer. Is that really true? | 09:04 |
| Murphant | critical_max: I seem to only be able to install the nvidia driver out of X but the terminals that appear when I press ctrl-alt-f2 and the like are all blurred and unreadable | 09:04 |
| Murphant | critical_max: should I try to login blindly and do the operations? | 09:04 |
| The_Rufus | i want the 10Tb RAID5 as / | 09:04 |
| The_Rufus | I've searched google for every howto, and nothing works | 09:04 |
| critical_max | Murphant: my gut reaction is no, that way leads to trouble more often than not. A good solution will be cleaner | 09:04 |
| The_Rufus | believe me, I wouldn't be here if I could find the answer | 09:04 |
| mickster04 | alternatively, can anyone point me to where it might state if the gma3105 chip is supported? | 09:05 |
| [Lemmy] | i could use some help here... installing ubuntu netbook remix on an asus eeepc 701 (4G) | 09:05 |
| critical_max | Murphant, you're saying you have problems displaying alt-F2, etc terminals with the default non-accelerated driver? | 09:05 |
| [Lemmy] | i made a bootable usb stick from the iso image, netbook boots fine, ubuntu starts, and after the second dialog in the installer, the one where you pick to download upgrades during install, nothing happens at all. | 09:05 |
| critical_max | The_Rufus, I see. :( | 09:05 |
| Murphant | critical_max: yep, have had them since I installed | 09:05 |
| Murphant | critical_max: what's weird is that I have the same problem on my laptop, which has an ATI card | 09:06 |
| Murphant | critical_max: thought that maybe installing the driver would fix that | 09:06 |
| critical_max | Murphant: Might try dist-upgrading to 11.04 | 09:06 |
| critical_max | Murphant: based on what I read on the ubuntu forums, that card just wasn't supported at all until quite recently | 09:07 |
| leagris | hello, I have a snd-pcm symbol unknown and no sound since kernel upgrade to 2.6.35-28-generic, is there a fix/patch or way to revert to latest working kernel? | 09:07 |
| critical_max | Murphant, driver support often lags about a year when the card vendors have an architecture change | 09:07 |
| critical_max | murphant, which is what we're seeing, basically | 09:08 |
| hosein | how can run a menu item as root with sudo? what must change in its command? | 09:08 |
| Murphant | critical_max: yeah, I can see that | 09:08 |
| scarleo | leagris: you can boot earlier kernels at grub if you haven't removed them | 09:08 |
| xardas008 | hosein, try starting it from console | 09:08 |
| critical_max | murphant, I know it's not what you want to hear but i've lost weeks of my life trying to get badly supported video cards working well, and it really isn't worth it if you can a) dist-upgrade to a release that supports it b) use an operating system that supports it (windows) | 09:09 |
| === mohammad is now known as Guest79961 | ||
| hosein | xardas008: no I want to run it from menu. Is it possible? | 09:09 |
| xardas008 | not with sudo rights i think | 09:10 |
| critical_max | Murphant: 11.10 alpha is available for testing June 2 | 09:10 |
| Murphant | critical_max: alpha might be a bit intense for my inexperience with linux, but I will probably try 10.04 | 09:11 |
| critical_max | if you can wait that long, i'd highly advise working on upgrading to that rather than pooching your current install repeatedly | 09:11 |
| critical_max | yes, try 11.04 in the interim | 09:11 |
| StepNjump | Guys, I'm trying to download timevault backup app but when I try to execute the .deb package, I get the following error message: Dependency is not satisfiable: python2.5-dev | 09:12 |

| Murphant | critical_max: for now I'm just gonna install old versions with synaptics and hope for the best | 09:12 |
| critical_max | murphant, you should be able to upgrade to 11.04 right now | 09:12 |
| critical_max | one sec, i'll find the directions | 09:12 |

| ubottu | TimeVault is a graphical backup tool for GNOME. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeVault and http://launchpad.net/TimeVault | 09:12 |

| Murphant | critical_max: lemme reboot, brb | 09:13 |
| The_Rufus | does that mean I need to create 5 "/" mount points? | 09:13 |
| The_Rufus | one on each drive? | 09:13 |
| Guest53140 | looking for a bored web guru.... any takers? | 09:13 |
| The_Rufus | I'm specifically referring to step 6 | 09:14 |
| leagris | scarleo, currently reinstall linux-image-2.6.35-27 because I had flushed old kernels. Too bad I revert to unpatched security issues because of the snd-pcm havoc in newer kernel | 09:14 |
| critical_max | StepNjump, i bet there is a PPA for timevault, check the urls the bot sent, it's not packaged in main ubuntu | 09:14 |
| The_Rufus | anybody? | 09:14 |
| mickster04 | can anyone point me to where it might state if the gma3105 chip is supported? | 09:14 |
| The_Rufus | please? | 09:14 |
| The_Rufus | I'm dying here | 09:14 |
| oCean | The_Rufus: I think you assume correctly. It states to repeat the steps 2-5 for the other disk | 09:15 |
| StepNjump | Hi critical_max again... I'm new to all this. Does it mean I need to add a new repository ? | 09:15 |
| maxillusionist | The_Rufus what it is actually | 09:16 |
| critical_max | StepNjump, yes, but the help page should spell out exactly what to do | 09:16 |
| maxillusionist | i was off for sometime | 09:16 |
| The_Rufus | ok, so I have 5 "/"'s across 5 2Tb HDD's | 09:17 |
| The_Rufus | is that right? | 09:17 |
| The_Rufus | now according to the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=Convert+to+software+raid&titlesearch=Titles (howto), I should go to "Configure Software RAID" right? | 09:17 |
| oCean | The_Rufus: I *think* so, according to that guide. | 09:17 |
| StepNjump | critical_max ok let me check | 09:17 |
| ssn | hi guys | 09:17 |
| oCean | The_Rufus: also, in #ubuntu-server there might be more help available on such (server) topics | 09:18 |

| ssn | i mean, how is it called | 09:18 |

| ac7ss | andy-at-home: 'grep open_basedir *' | 09:20 |
| ssn | critical_max: thx! | 09:20 |
| leagris | rebooting to older kernel, will see | 09:21 |
| critical_max | Murphant, use alt-F2 to bring up the gnome app launcher, then start "update-manager -d" the -d switch will offer distribution upgrades | 09:21 |
| Murphant | critical_max: well that seemed to work on getting me back to how I was before | 09:21 |
| Andy-at-home | grep open_basedir * | 09:22 |
| Andy-at-home | on its own | 09:22 |
| critical_max | Murphant, you're on 10.04 right now? | 09:22 |
| Andy-at-home | damn | 09:22 |
| Murphant | critical_max: and as a minor improvement, I now boot at a 1024x768 resolution compared to my old 600x400 resolution, so it is less painfull on the eyes | 09:22 |
| Murphant | critical_max: yes I am | 09:23 |
| hosein | If I remove an installed package from ubuntu software center, should I download it again? can I keep its deb for later use? | 09:23 |
| Murphant | critical_max: my xconf still won't save properly though, I guess I will live with it until I upgrade to 11.04 | 09:23 |
| ahox | Hi, my dkms_autobuild fails with a make.log error of /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose/3.2.8/build/include/iprt/types.h:97: fatal error: linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory. How do I install this file? | 09:23 |
| xardas008 | hosein, i think that he will keep the dep in some temp folder | 09:23 |
| critical_max | Murphant: see above for directions for upgrading to 10.10, and subsequently for 11.04 if the problem isn't fixed | 09:24 |
| xardas008 | sudo apt-get install autoconf | 09:24 |
| critical_max | murphant, you'll want to have that ready for the 11.04 release anyway, since you can't skip releases when upgrading | 09:24 |
| ahox | I am running maverick, but with a 2.6.38 kernel from the ppa | 09:24 |
| mickster04 | can anyone point me to where it might state if the gma3105 chip is supported? | 09:24 |
| critical_max | murphant, and since your goal is to get this newfangled hardware running smoothly :) | 09:25 |
| uczen | halo | 09:25 |
| xardas008 | ahox, that could be the problem. I tried the same with another kernel then the one previously installed. It has something to do with dkms | 09:25 |

| critical_max | hosein, all your debs are cached in /var/cache/apt/archives if you are curious to see what's there | 09:26 |
| bullgard4 | Why does '~$ sudo netstat -tunap' output the name of the process #985 as "0", while '~ps aux' outputs "dictd" for it? | 09:27 |
| ahox | I assume that the autoconf.h is part of the linux kernel. It actually exist in the header package, in he directory /usr/src/linux-headers-<version>/include/generated | 09:27 |
| ac7ss | andy-at-home: was that what you needed? | 09:27 |
| critical_max | hosein, so if the deb is still there, and still current, the next time you install the package Ubuntu will not get it from the net, but from the cache locally | 09:28 |
| bluum | hosein: do this experiment. install some package, uninstall it, pull the network plug, try to install again | 09:28 |
| critical_max | bluum, i guarantee following that sequence will take it from the cache for the 2nd install | 09:29 |
| Andy-at-home | who knows lol | 09:29 |
| Andy-at-home | php is loading a open_ basedir value from somewhere and I'm trying figure out where | 09:29 |
| critical_max | bluum, if update-manager doesn't choke at not being able to check for current listings hehehe | 09:29 |
| critical_max | bullgard4, pastebin would help a lot | 09:30 |
| iceroot | Andy-at-home: normally /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini | 09:30 |

| Andy-at-home | wait for it | 09:32 |
| Andy-at-home | I'm on CentOS | 09:32 |
| hosein | bluum,: I tested it. It installed locally from cache. but the configuration wizard I saw at the first installation, did not appear. why? | 09:32 |
| critical_max | hosein, that's because you still had the config from last time (probably in ~/.someapp-config | 09:32 |
| bullgard4 | critical_max: '~$ sudo netstat -tunap' output the name of the process #985 as "0", while '~ps aux' outputs "dictd" for it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/584198/ | 09:33 |
| bluum | hosein: you might have the option to either "uninstall" or to "prune" a package. pruning deletes the configuration. | 09:34 |
| hosein | critical_max: It is zend server wrapper for phpMyAdmin, I dont know where it is installed? | 09:34 |
| critical_max | hosein: neither do I, sorry. | 09:35 |
| critical_max | bullgard4, and the ps output? | 09:35 |
| critical_max | I mean the netstat output | 09:35 |
| critical_max | hosein: you can use "apt-get purge somepackage" instead of apt-get remove , to remove config | 09:37 |
| critical_max | hosein: that should offer the config wizard next time you install it. | 09:37 |
| puck1 | Sorry I had to teach a class. critical_max, I have looked at the error log but don't really know what to look for. Any clues? | 09:38 |
| Murphant | critical_max: thanks for the tip (and your help in general), but I'm working on a project, I'l upgrade when I'm done | 09:39 |
| critical_max | puck1, what were we looking at again? | 09:39 |
| hosein | critical_max: without removing its .deb from chache? | 09:39 |
| critical_max | Murphant, yeah it's something to leave overnight :) | 09:39 |
| critical_max | hosein: correct | 09:39 |
| critical_max | hosein: you never have to touch that cache. you can clear it if you want to save drive space for some reason. apt-get clean, apt-get autoclean are different ways to clean it, look at the docs for details. | 09:40 |
| puck1 | We have ubuntu 10.04 and are having a problem with a Xerox Phaser 6280DN printer connected via port 9100. Everything seems to print fine except large pdfs we keep getting messages like /usr/lib/cups/filter/cpdftocps failed" | 09:40 |
| critical_max | puck1, Oh. I don't know what to look for either, but anything you DO find should be googled :) and that's probably where the relevant errors would be - in the cups error log | 09:41 |
| bullgard4 | critical_max: This was the output of '~$ ps aux | grep 985'. -- | 09:41 |
| critical_max | puck1, I think I've had to go to that log exactly once in my life and it did give some kind of helpful clue. Good luck! | 09:41 |
| bullgard4 | critical_max: '~$ sudo netstat -tunap' output the name of the process #985 as "0", while '~ps aux' outputs "dictd" for it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/584200/ | 09:41 |

| NCS_One | hi | 09:48 |
| desturrr | hi, i was trying to install listen music player via ubuntu software center, but it is stuck on the stage saying applying changes for quite a time now | 09:49 |
| desturrr | do you know how to cancel it ? | 09:49 |
| Bipul` | i can not able to update my ubuntu 10.10 from update manager | 09:49 |
| jonathandade | desturr: Can you check the process list and see if the process has crashed and how long is quite a long time? | 09:51 |
| DrThorax | join #inf | 09:51 |
| desturrr | it is about 10 minutes | 09:51 |
| desturrr | when i do ps | 09:51 |
| desturrr | it is just 2 thing showing | 09:51 |
| desturrr | how to see all processes | 09:51 |
| jonathandade | Bipul: You'll probably find a tutorial or two on google for that. What is the current version you are running? | 09:51 |
| NCS_One | desturrr: ps aux | 09:52 |
| NCS_One | where do I "set -o vi" and how to make it go to normal mode after <ENTER>? | 09:52 |
| jonathandade | desturr: in a shell do a ps aux to see all processes from all users | 09:52 |
| desturrr | yes i did that | 09:52 |
| desturrr | should i grep it as well | 09:52 |
| NCS_One | better | 09:52 |
| desturrr | there is update-notifier only shown | 09:53 |
| jonathandade | have a look at the list for dpkg or apt and see what the process states are? Then you could check top to see if it is just running. | 09:53 |

| StepNjump | critical_max timevault is looking for me to install python 2.5 but the current version is 2.6, what should I do? | 09:55 |
| critical_max | stepnjump, building from source if there's no more up-to-date package available. | 09:55 |
| critical_max | stepnjump, or find an app that's not been abandoned | 09:55 |
| desturrr | basically is there a way to stop the ubuntu software center | 09:56 |
| critical_max | stepnjump, i recommend option #2 | 09:56 |
| StepNjump | critical_max ok thanks | 09:56 |
| * charlos brb Im go to a bath one moment... ;) | 09:56 | |
| StepNjump | Yes for sure.. I'm not that advanced | 09:56 |
| jonathandade | desturr: You can kill the process for it, but interrupting it that way may cause other issues. | 09:56 |
| desturrr | i did xkill it | 09:57 |
| desturrr | but when i open , the installing is still stuck | 09:57 |
| critical_max | StepNjump, also tried googling "timevault 10.04" or whatever your release is? might be an easy workaround that someone has documented | 09:57 |
| mik | hi ppl | 09:57 |
| mik | code break in 10 channel | 09:57 |
| StepNjump | Can't find anything | 09:58 |
| critical_max | StepNjump, roger that, i'd just find a different tool if i were you | 09:58 |
| mik | find in line 332 at 6 | 09:58 |
| mik | install webkit in 10.10 | 09:58 |
| jonathandade | desturr: I am wary of telling you to force kill it and it's children in case it leaves your system in a broken state. | 09:58 |
| StepNjump | What would you suggest as far as automated backup system for ubuntu 10.10 critical_max? | 09:58 |
| desturrr | force kill ? | 09:58 |
| desturrr | ok lets do that :D | 09:59 |
| critical_max | StepNjump, I use the "prayer" system, your mileage may vary :O | 09:59 |
| critical_max | Seriously though, I'm not up to date on that. | 09:59 |
| critical_max | Others will have better suggestions. | 10:00 |
| StepNjump | sudo apt-get install prayer? | 10:00 |
| critical_max | No, it was a joke. :D | 10:00 |
| StepNjump | oh yeah | 10:01 |
| StepNjump | tnx | 10:01 |
| [Lemmy] | grmbl | 10:02 |
| jonathandade | Not a great idea. The state it was in was uninterruptible sleep (usually IO). That means it might be waiting on disk or memory, but if oyu understnad that this may leave your system irretrievably broken then the command in a shell would be kill -9 <PID of dpkg and any other processes you need to kill>. That will forceably remove it from memory if that can be done. You'll need to sudo it, but be warned this may well kill your w | 10:02 |
| jonathandade | I'd use top first to see what its doing? | 10:02 |
| critical_max | StepNjump, maybe "Back in Time" http://www.installing-linux.com/TB/?P=803 supposed to be a time machine inspired app | 10:02 |
| critical_max | but reported working in 10.10/10.04 | 10:02 |
| jonathandade | desturr: force kill should be a last resort always. | 10:03 |
| critical_max | I got curious myself and had a look :) | 10:03 |
| StepNjump | Inspired by the movie critical_max... good idea. Thank you very much | 10:03 |
| StepNjump | let me check it | 10:03 |
| mintux | I have problem with write cd/dvd in linux. it said some files has bad name. so how can I find the file's because it's a lot files . are there any software write cd or dvd and ignore each file has bad name. I destroyed many cd or dvd for this problem | 10:03 |
| critical_max | I know Timevault was hyped to death a couple years ago so I'm surprised to see it languishing. | 10:03 |
| k3kc0rp | sudo apt-get install windoze ? | 10:03 |

| mintux | critical_max: it's log of barseo http://paste.ideaslabs.com/show/1EE5vukJLE | 10:05 |

| serrghi | anyone here use openvpn+networkmanager for Giganews openvpn? | 10:06 |
| critical_max | Mintux: Maybe there is a script to rename all the mp3s to linux friendly characters. I can't see from that huge log which the problem file is. | 10:07 |
| mintux | critical_max: my problem is exactly this . I can not rename all file's or how can I sure the problem solved. the software must rename it or say it | 10:08 |
| critical_max | mintux: yeah, I get that. have you seen https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/529696/+index?comments=all? | 10:08 |

| critical_max | mintux: it's reported fixed in 10.04 and 10.10. What release are you running and is it updated? What version of Brasero? | 10:10 |
| StepNjump | critical_max, yes it's working! Thank you ! | 10:11 |
| critical_max | mintux: the fix is less than one month old so you might not have the update yet? | 10:11 |
| critical_max | StepNjump, Excellent! Glad to help. | 10:11 |
| StepNjump | critical_max, you should be here more often! | 10:12 |
| critical_max | StepNjump, If only this was a job. | 10:12 |
| StepNjump | ;) | 10:12 |
| StepNjump | Would be nice to wake up to go to work eh? | 10:13 |
| critical_max | Depending on the work, yeah. This is rather more rewarding than most real telecommuting jobs. | 10:13 |

| wild | In the terminal I want to configure Apache defaults. How do I save my configuration changes? | 10:18 |
| xardas008 | wild, which editor do you use? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | wild: just exit the text editor your using to change them | 10:19 |
| m_ | hi! my sd card reader doesn't work. when typing lspci i don't know which one is this. does any one know how to enable it? | 10:19 |
| wild | xardas008 ikonia I am using the terminal window and a sudo command | 10:19 |
| critical_max | m_ is it usb? lsusb | 10:19 |
| xardas008 | wild, vi? | 10:19 |
| critical_max | m_ it should probably only show up when you have a card in it, too | 10:20 |
| wild | xardas008 yes | 10:20 |
| xardas008 | ok with esc to the command prompt and then wq! | 10:20 |
| critical_max | wild, sudo vi if you want to save to default apache config locations | 10:20 |
| twitch | wild: sudo nano -w /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 10:20 |
| critical_max | twitch: mmm nano, a crutch that i personally never want to put down. the aforementioned :wq! and movement are all i've learned in vi... for shame. | 10:21 |
| m_ | critical_max: after lspci there's more there. would you know how to install it? | 10:21 |
| critical_max | nano actually has a lot of undocumented shortcuts too | 10:22 |
| critical_max | m_, all i've ever had to do is plug it in and it just works | 10:22 |
| critical_max | m_, what model is the card? | 10:22 |
| twitch | critical_max: yeah i know but nano is easier for beginners | 10:22 |
| critical_max | twitch: it sure is | 10:22 |
| m_ | critical_max: lucky you. SDHC | 10:22 |
| codemagician | how to I switch my flash plugin with firefox? | 10:22 |

| xardas008 | codemagician, which one do you have and which one do you want to have? | 10:23 |
| k3kc0rp | sudo kill adobe | 10:23 |
| critical_max | m_ that's the memory card type right? we need the model of the card reader | 10:23 |
| xardas008 | wild, on the bottom there should appear a : (if not already there) | 10:23 |

| xardas008 | codemagician, does it work on youtube? | 10:24 |
| codemagician | xardas008, yes | 10:24 |
| critical_max | codemagician: ok, click the adobe "install this" that shows up in the gaping hole if you see that | 10:24 |
| critical_max | codemagician, don't follow the browser helper prompts, rather use the adobe ones | 10:24 |
| m_ | critical_max: yes that was card model. reader i don't know. as looking up on hp.com there are 3 drivers Intel Matrix Storage Technology Driver and Realtek Card Reader Driver | 10:25 |
| codemagician | critical_max, there is no missing plugin. it currently uses an open source one. i want to switch between them to compare | 10:25 |
| wild | xardas008, the 'insert' vanishes after Esc but no a appears | 10:25 |
| critical_max | ok, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer | 10:25 |
| xardas008 | ok then try to insert a wq! when the insert vanished | 10:25 |

| critical_max | m_ so it is built in with your PC? | 10:26 |

| critical_max | m_, pastebin the output of "sudo lspci -vv" and "sudo lsusb -vv" for us please | 10:27 |
| critical_max | pauru, because the OS will manage it for you and it's the same version right now as what's in the tarball | 10:27 |
| critical_max | m_, that will let us spot it if it's there | 10:28 |

| joris | ikonia: howcome? | 10:28 |
| m_ | critical_max: you want me to paste it in here? | 10:28 |
| ikonia | joris: you're re-installing it, it will need to remove the package and replace it, however the daemon you are using should stay running in memory | 10:28 |
| codemagician | critical_max, well i download adobe plugin using the ubuntu package manager | 10:29 |
| ikonia | joris: it's a risk you'll have to accept | 10:29 |
| codemagician | critical_max, but i still don't know how to switch between my existing one and this | 10:29 |
| joris | ikonia: so the daemon is personal? | 10:29 |
| wild | xardas008, if I type "w" I heard a the snare sound but see nothing, then the q and "recording" appears q again and it goes away | 10:29 |
| critical_max | codemagician, should be in Tools > Addons > Plugins in FF | 10:29 |
| ikonia | joris: no | 10:29 |
| critical_max | codemagician as I recall they will sit side by side in FF and only one will be active, you pick | 10:30 |

| codemagician | v_v, because im a developer and I use FF for development | 10:33 |
| v_v | codemagician: oh, i see | 10:33 |
| critical_max | codemagician, I don't know why it wouldn't be in the list. I just installed it but I did not have the open source plugin installed prior to the Adobe one, so my situation is different. | 10:33 |
| codemagician | v_v, but i still want to find a way to switch between them | 10:33 |
| ikonia | joris: I would remove the file from the cache directory, re-run apt-get update, then re-reun the install | 10:33 |
| v_v | codemagician: the ff plugin firebug is awesome. | 10:34 |

| erUSUL | maxillusionist: the default document viewer does not work for you ? | 10:37 |
| codemagician | v_v, when I click youtube im offered a link to "downed it from adobe" | 10:37 |
| reliability | dbugger_: appcache means i can run google apps offline? | 10:38 |
| pauru | now how can i install the previous firefox that i had? | 10:38 |
| critical_max | m_, darn, i don't see your gadget at ALL. Oh. Try this: "tail -f /var/log/dmesg" and take the card in and out. | 10:38 |
| codemagician | v_v, but remember it 'should' already be installed | 10:38 |
| maxillusionist | nop erUSUL i read that reliability was saying something like that | 10:38 |
| erUSUL | codemagician: install ubuntu-restricted-extras package? it incudes flahs an many other usefull things | 10:38 |
| v_v | codemagician: put the flash plugin file to .mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 10:38 |
| codemagician | v_v, so it must be an issue with referencing it | 10:38 |
| v_v | codemagician: put the flash plugin file to ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 10:38 |
| dbugger_ | reliability, if I can access Gmail offline, maybe you can access also google docs offline | 10:38 |
| critical_max | m_ one thing i have done to troubleshoot that kind of problem is google for "HP 2510 card reader linux" or whatever my EXACT model of PC is. Other people with the same problem are usually found. If your PC is not a custom build, that might help./ | 10:38 |
| Magic_Sam | I can't get a Canon LiDE 110 to work on Ubuntu 9.04...I've read the sane man pages and it seems I need libusb 0.1.16 installed, but there's only libusb 0.1.14 in Ubuntu 9.04... What should I do ? Thanks ! | 10:39 |
| codemagician | erUSUL, shall I do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 10:39 |
| m_ | critical_max: what does thjis command? | 10:39 |
| critical_max | m_ looking at dmesg is a good way to see if ANYTHING happens and what devices it happens to | 10:39 |
| sl33k_ | this error was encountered when i download eclipse? dpkg: failed to write status record about `libslf4j-java' to `/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device | 10:39 |
| maxillusionist | dbugger what does that mean?? | 10:39 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, lol your drive is full | 10:39 |
| erUSUL | codemagician: that should work. or you can use ubuntu software center | 10:39 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, your machine still works because it reserves a few % for the system for just this case | 10:40 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, just delete some files before continuing the install | 10:40 |
| charlos | hello again | 10:40 |
| v_v | sl33k_: you can sudo apt-get autoclean to remove the old packages | 10:40 |
| charlos | that name channel for ircd-ircu help ? | 10:41 |
| codemagician | erUSUL, it says its downloading .exe files? | 10:41 |
| pauru | critical_max, Hey max, how can i install my previous ff? | 10:41 |
| antoine__ | join #osp | 10:41 |
| critical_max | m_ you can also just run "dmesg" for a display of all the recent messages, but tailing the log allows you realtime | 10:41 |
| v_v | codemagician: does it work ? | 10:41 |
| erUSUL | codemagician: just wait for it to finish | 10:41 |
| critical_max | pauru: by removing the PPA repository in software center, but why on earth would you want to go back? addons? | 10:41 |
| codemagician | erUSUL, i guess those are like zip files? | 10:41 |
| erUSUL | codemagician: yes | 10:41 |
| randy2009 | Hi, i have these permissions set: -r-sr-xr-x 1 nagios nagios 104K Jul 9 2009 check_icmp, i can't execute the binary because i need to be root, but i set the setuid flag, but it's not working, what am i missing? | 10:41 |
| bullgard4 | What package is the Disk Mounter applet associated with (in order to report a bug)? | 10:42 |
| v_v | randy2009: because the ownser is not root | 10:42 |
| codemagician | erUSUL, it made no different to FF plugins | 10:42 |
| v_v | randy2009: when you run it, the effective user is nagios | 10:42 |
| critical_max | v_v yeah that one usually frees up a ton of space if a machine is THAT crufty.. | 10:42 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max, v_v: dpkg was interrupted during autoclean. What could i do now? | 10:42 |
| v_v | randy2009: not root as you expected | 10:42 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, you just have to delete one of your own user files, like a movie or music *cough* | 10:42 |
| v_v | critical_max: :) | 10:42 |
| v_v | sl33k_: any error messages ? | 10:43 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, the apt-get autoclean process was trying to clear up the same thing that led to the previous error, is why that didn't work | 10:43 |
| m_ | critical_max: http://paste.ubuntu.com/584218/ | 10:43 |
| ubuntulover | hello | 10:43 |
| pauru | critical_max, Yeah... | 10:43 |
| erUSUL | codemagician: flash is not listed? | 10:43 |
| joris | What's going on when I can't remove /usr/sbin/sshd ? (Operation not permitted) | 10:43 |
| joris | It's stopping me from reinstalling opensshd | 10:43 |
| sl33k_ | v_v: dpkg: failed to write status record about `libslf4j-java' to `/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device | 10:44 |
| m_ | critical_max: is there anyway to run win driver for it? | 10:44 |
| randy2009 | v_v: ok, so i need to set owner to root | 10:44 |
| charlos | that name channel for ircd-ircu help ? | 10:44 |
| randy2009 | thnx | 10:44 |
| v_v | sl33k_: can you give me a message of 'df -h' | 10:44 |
| charlos | hey again | 10:44 |
| v_v | randy2009: np | 10:44 |
| critical_max | m_ so that is counting the period of time that you inserted a flash card into the reader, correct? | 10:44 |
| charlos | what do u say me ? | 10:44 |
| critical_max | m_ not for flash readers typically; there is "ndiswrapper" for Windows wireless drivers, from the bad old days when native Linux support was rarer | 10:45 |
| critical_max | m_ the next step is really to identify the card reader physically, get inside the case if you have to | 10:45 |
| m_ | critical_max: card was inside when run it | 10:45 |
| codemagician | erUSUL, only shockwave flash from Gnash | 10:45 |
| v_v | sl33k_: if the autoclean doesn't work, you can just cd '/var/cache/apt/archives' and remove the deb files | 10:45 |
| randy2009 | v_v: hehe, i need to set setuid agian if i change owner, nice (good security) | 10:45 |
| v_v | randy2009: yeah, | 10:45 |
| critical_max | m_ you need to run tail -f /var/log/dmesg *while* removing and then inserting your flash card, please | 10:45 |
| erUSUL | codemagician: uninstall gnash | 10:45 |
| vietred | hi, how to make mail (in indicator applet) recognize thunderbird? | 10:46 |
| critical_max | m_ that will show us any related messages that are generated | 10:46 |
| sl33k_ | v_v: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/358212/ | 10:46 |
| m_ | critical_max: ok. doing it now | 10:46 |
| critical_max | m_ also we still don't know what your model of PC is, often you can google the card reader model from there | 10:46 |
| critical_max | and then google "linux card reader [my model of PC]" and find other people with same problem and the solution if it exists. | 10:47 |
| v_v | sl33k_: are you working on a live cd ? | 10:47 |
| critical_max | or "linux [my model of card reader]" | 10:47 |
| codemagician | erUSUL, it now shows Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152 | 10:47 |
| erUSUL | codemagician: good | 10:47 |
| codemagician | erUSUL, its working | 10:47 |
| erUSUL | !yay | codemagician | 10:47 |
| ubottu | codemagician: Glad you made it! :-) | 10:47 |
| sl33k_ | v_v: no, wubi installed | 10:47 |
| littlegreen | Hey guys! I'm having trouble sharing my HP printer with windows users.... it's pretty much already set-up and shared, they just don't see it... | 10:47 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, it looks like your wubi partition is full, is it that 6.5G loopback correct? | 10:48 |
| joris | rm: cannot remove `/usr/sbin/sshd': Operation not permitted | 10:48 |
| joris | -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 290K 2008-05-14 16:39 /usr/sbin/sshd | 10:48 |
| joris | wtf? | 10:48 |
| codemagician | erUSUL, so I guess you can't have gnash and adobe side by side? | 10:48 |
| m_ | critical_max: same thing. it's hp mini 110-3030nr | 10:48 |
| v_v | sl33k_: the root partition is full. can you release some space ? | 10:48 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, resizing wubi partition is not practical, i have looked into that extensively. you need to uninstall wubi and reinstall with a larger partition size, it is much much faster than resizing | 10:48 |
| erUSUL | codemagician: no | 10:48 |
| critical_max | been there, done that | 10:48 |
| critical_max | m_ ok now we're getting somewhere :) one sec | 10:48 |
| m_ | critical_max: it seems that it's only for win | 10:49 |
| codemagician | erUSUL, I switched before because Adobe kept crashing | 10:49 |
| v_v | joris: do you have a proper permission ? | 10:49 |
| v_v | joris: like, are you root ? | 10:49 |
| joris | i am root yes. | 10:49 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, but you should still be able to remove something from your home directory under wubi for right now... to fix it | 10:49 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: yea | 10:49 |
| v_v | joris: if you just want to reinstall sshd , try apt-get purge openssh-server | 10:50 |
| littlegreen | any ideas anybody? | 10:50 |
| critical_max | m_ OK according to softpedia, you have a Realtek USB 2.0 brand card reader | 10:50 |
| joris | v_v: Package openssh-server is not installed, so not removed | 10:50 |
| sl33k_ | v_v: i am in archives directory now, how could i remove deb packages from here? | 10:50 |
| v_v | joris: did you try the 'purge' ? | 10:50 |
| joris | v_v: Yes, it gives me the said output | 10:50 |
| v_v | sl33k_: a simple way. sudo rm *deb | 10:50 |
| v_v | sl33k_: :) | 10:50 |
| critical_max | m_ the latest windows driver is "6.1.7600.48" | 10:50 |
| m_ | critical_max: correct | 10:51 |
| v_v | joris: ps -ef | grep sshd | 10:51 |
| erUSUL | sl33k_: sudo apt-get clean | 10:51 |
| joris | v_v: nussing | 10:51 |
| erUSUL | sl33k_: do not go around doing "sudo rm" in system directories | 10:51 |
| pauru | critical_max, i removed the ppas and reloaded, but i can still see firefox 4 in synaptic | 10:51 |
| v_v | joris: wierd, anything of dmesg | tail | 10:52 |
| dyd | hi all | 10:52 |
| littlegreen | could anything go wrong when upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 LTS? | 10:52 |
| sl33k_ | v_v: unable to resolve host ubuntu | 10:52 |
| joris | v_v: Nothing in particular that makes any sense to me | 10:52 |
| sl33k_ | erUSUL: unable to resolve host ubuntu | 10:52 |
| erUSUL | littlegreen: yes it could. nothing is 100% safe in this life :) | 10:52 |
| charlos | hey | 10:52 |
| charlos | help me please | 10:53 |
| charlos | Starting irc server daemon: ircd-ircu. | 10:53 |
| charlos | root@ubuntu:/home/charlos# | 10:53 |
| critical_max | m_ see http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1519294.html last post | 10:53 |
| FloodBot2 | charlos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:53 |
| erUSUL | sl33k_: "sudo ls" fails the same way ? | 10:53 |
| v_v | joris: do you have selinux enabled ? | 10:53 |
| charlos | how to command cd ircd-ircu ? | 10:53 |
| critical_max | m_ someone else with your same problem this month. I would start looking hard at Launchpad and find out if your problem is listed as an Ubuntu bug yet. | 10:53 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max, v_v: is it 6gb because i selected 5 gb install for wubi? | 10:53 |
| joris | v_v: How do I find out? | 10:53 |
| littlegreen | erUSUL, do you think upgrading my system might resolve my printer-sharing related problem in any way? | 10:53 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, yeah, that's tiny, you want at least 10-15GB even for a decent test installation | 10:53 |
| v_v | joris: ok, i guess you don'y | 10:53 |
| v_v | joris: ok, i guess you don't | 10:53 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, just to make SURE you won't run out of room like you just did | 10:54 |
| dyd | i'm a ubuntu newbie: i'd like to put some of "places" icon in the panel to a open them quickly, but right-clicking over the voice in places menu won't show any menu, it just opens... any hint? | 10:54 |
| joris | v_v: I have a /var/lib/dpkg/info/libselinux1.list | 10:54 |
| sl33k_ | erUSUL: yea, with one more error: `lock partial` shown | 10:54 |
| erUSUL | littlegreen: how would i know? i do not know anything about the problem :) | 10:54 |
| v_v | joris: when does it happen when you try to install openssh-server ? | 10:54 |
| littlegreen | well I have a HP printer set-up and shared but win users don't see it... | 10:54 |
| erUSUL | sl33k_: you changed your hostnane? | 10:54 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: what could be possible now without installing it again | 10:55 |
| joris | v_v: When I try to install openssh_server, it gets operation not permitted removing /usr/sbin/sshd | 10:55 |
| erUSUL | !9.10 | 10:55 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 | 10:55 |
| critical_max | dyd: just drag what you want to link, from the File Manager, to the menu bar | 10:55 |
| critical_max | dyd: folders etc | 10:55 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, if you can't think of any files to delete I don't know what to tell you | 10:55 |
| m_ | critical_max: OK, thanks!!! | 10:55 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, there has to be something you can remove | 10:56 |
| sl33k_ | erUSUL: no i suppose | 10:56 |
| v_v | joris: 'getenforce', any output ? | 10:56 |
| joris | command not found | 10:56 |
| critical_max | m_ You're welcome, and I really mean it about looking for the bug on Launchpad. You can follow the bug, and get an email when the status changes. Very helpful. | 10:56 |
| v_v | joris: ls -Z | 10:56 |
| critical_max | m_ Or if you don't find it you can report it and it will get fixed (eventually (probably) ) :) | 10:56 |
| dyd | critical_max: with file manager you mean nautilus? | 10:56 |
| DJones | !ff4 > DJones | 10:57 |
| ubottu | DJones, please see my private message | 10:57 |
| joris | v_v: What should I look for? | 10:57 |
| critical_max | dyd: yes | 10:57 |
| critical_max | File Browser it shows as, pardon me | 10:57 |
| v_v | joris: if you see some more information than '?' that means selinux is enabled, anywhere | 10:57 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: my music n stuff is in different partition, so how could i manually delete from the full partition? | 10:57 |
| m_ | critical_max: thanks. appreciate it honestly:) | 10:57 |
| ikonia | selinux is not installed by default on ubuntu | 10:57 |
| joris | v_v: I get ? for every binary in there | 10:57 |
| dyd | ok, if i drag from the left icon list the icon i want to move it justs don't drop the icon in the panel | 10:57 |
| dyd | those are some network links | 10:57 |
| dyd | does that make difference? | 10:57 |
| v_v | ikonia: he got a file sshd cannot be removed even if he is root | 10:58 |
| dyd | they are like \\ipaddress\c$ | 10:58 |
| ikonia | v_v: that doesn't mean it's ssh] | 10:58 |
| ikonia | he probably can't remove it as it's in use | 10:58 |
| v_v | ikonia: and dmesg show nothing, any idea ? | 10:58 |
| joris | v_v: I can execute /usr/bin/sshd just fine. It says /etc/sshd_config is missing, which it is. | 10:58 |
| ikonia | probabably the file is in use | 10:58 |
| joris | v_v: I just can't rename or delete it | 10:58 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, you don't have a wubi-specific home folder? | 10:58 |
| ikonia | !info openssh-server hardy | 10:58 |
| ubottu | openssh-server (source: openssh): secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 (hardy), package size 248 kB, installed size 660 kB | 10:58 |
| critical_max | /home/sl33k or whatever | 10:58 |
| v_v | ikonia: linux allows you to remove even if it's in use | 10:59 |
| ikonia | v_v: not if it's open | 10:59 |
| v_v | ikonia: oh, yes, im sure about that | 10:59 |
| ikonia | v_v: sure about what / | 10:59 |
| v_v | ikonia: ok. never mind | 11:00 |
| joris | I'm no longer using sshd | 11:00 |
| ikonia | joris: run fuser against it | 11:00 |
| joris | root@sol:/usr/sbin# fuser sshd | 11:00 |
| joris | root@sol:/usr/sbin# | 11:00 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, in /home/sleek/Downloads or /home/sleek/Desktop are likely places to find something you could delete for now. But really. You will just run into this problem again tomorrow, and the next day, etc, and you should really just uninstall wubi and reinstall it. Takes a matter of 10 minutes. | 11:00 |
| ikonia | joris: use the full path, fuser /usr/sbin/sshd | 11:00 |
| ikonia | joris: also why is your update not going to the current hardy version | 11:00 |
| joris | no output | 11:00 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: in the file system, i see usr, bin, var. those kind of directories | 11:00 |
| joris | I've done numerous apt-get updates | 11:01 |
| ikonia | joris: why is it not updating to the current openssh-server version | 11:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | i remember using wubi...what a horrible experience | 11:01 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, /home/youruser not there i take it? | 11:01 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sl33k_: ~/ | 11:01 |
| joris | ikonia: how do you know? | 11:01 |
| v_v | joris: take a look at 'mount' | 11:01 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: ya found it | 11:01 |
| joris | v_v: securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) | 11:02 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, desktop / downloads / documents check for stuff you can remove | 11:02 |
| ikonia | joris: you showed me the package version it was going to update to, and I know the current version | 11:02 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, and get used to the idea of reinstalling. take notes on what you installed first if you like. | 11:02 |
| EClaesson | I accidentaly removed the shut down menu from the top panel (gnome). The menu with Shut down, restart, hibernate, log out/change user and such. How can i get it back? I can't find it in the Add To Panel window | 11:02 |
| joris | ikonia: ic | 11:02 |
| v_v | joris: the /usr/sbin partition , is it mount readonly ? | 11:02 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, so extra apps can be restored quickly with the new install | 11:02 |
| ikonia | v_v: excellent call | 11:02 |
| joris | v_v: I don't have such a partition afaik | 11:02 |
| ikonia | you must have a partition it's mounted off | 11:03 |
| v_v | joris: if you don't have a partition for /usr , just the / | 11:03 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: i am on low bandwith 256k from third world country, reinstalling wubi is a pain in the ass. only deleting option remains with me? | 11:03 |
| critical_max | Us3r_Unfriendly, it actually had its strong points to me (easy installation and did not destabilize Windows at all) but this particular pain point of not being able to resize its partition (wth) really hurt me too | 11:03 |
| joris | root@sol:/# touch /foo.txt | 11:03 |
| joris | root@sol:/# | 11:03 |
| joris | not r/o | 11:03 |
| ikonia | joris: what does ps -ef | grep ssh show | 11:04 |
| scarleo | EClaesson: Add to panel -> Shut down... | 11:04 |
| critical_max | Us3r_Unfriendly, All the virtual machine controllers can do it, and my impression was they were doing loopback too. I could be wrong on that... | 11:04 |
| joris | ikonia: just the grep | 11:04 |
| ikonia | and what happens if you manually rm -rf /usr/sbin/sshd | 11:04 |
| joris | rm: cannot remove `/usr/sbin/sshd': Operation not permitted | 11:04 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, I see, you deleted the wubi installer already? | 11:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | critical_max: yeah, I haven't used wubi in years and years, couldn't tell you...I just always used gparted and installed on the freespace that was created | 11:04 |
| ikonia | joris: show me the output of "id" | 11:04 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: and what would happen to my packages if i reinstall? | 11:04 |
| joris | ikonia: uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root) | 11:04 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | joris: sudo rm -fr /usr/sbin/sshd | 11:05 |
| ikonia | joris: why are you root ? | 11:05 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, it would ALL be gone from wubi when you uninstall. you would need to take notes on what you did if you've been working on it a while. | 11:05 |
| EClaesson | scarleo: That's not the same drop down menu that were there at when i installed | 11:05 |
| Donnerland | when ist the release date for 11.04? | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Donnerland: think it through 04 2001 | 11:05 |
| joris | ikonia: because I'm getting Operation not permitted | 11:05 |
| ikonia | 2011 | 11:05 |
| v_v | joris: whatis the output of 'df' ? | 11:05 |
| joris | Us3r_Unfriendly: Same , operation not permitted | 11:05 |
| Fleck | where is firefox-4 in repos? | 11:05 |
| joris | v_v: http://pastie.org/1703462 | 11:06 |
| jrib | !firefox4 | Fleck | 11:06 |
| ubottu | Fleck: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. To install it, use the PPA by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 11:06 |
| Fleck | thx | 11:06 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | joris: su - and then rm -fr /usr/sbin/sshd | 11:06 |
| scarleo | EClaesson: Try Add to panel -> Indicator applet session then | 11:06 |

| critical_max | sl33k_, i would say just plan to re download the wubi installer when you can. Did you find anything in /home/youruser to delete yet? to solve the updater problem? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | joris: why is that file 777 | 11:07 |
| joris | jrib: Trying to reinstall it. remove succeeded, install fails | 11:07 |
| joris | ikonia: no idea | 11:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | jrib: perhaps he's trying to remove it | 11:07 |
| jrib | Us3r_Unfriendly: use APT | 11:07 |
| ikonia | joris: someone has been playing with your system then as that file should not be 777 | 11:07 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | jrib: unless it's unsuccessful | 11:08 |
| critical_max | joris: yeah, unless that was you that changed the permissions, giant red flag | 11:08 |
| joris | ok. | 11:08 |
| joris | still, I'd like to reinstall openssh. | 11:08 |
| ikonia | joris: are you listening, your system may have been compromised | 11:08 |

| lucid_j | Hi, how could I use a transparent theme on Ubuntu 10.04? I have nto made any changes on WM, so I am using just compiz. | 11:08 |
| joris | strange | 11:09 |
| EClaesson | scarleo: That's the one. Thank you. One more question. The notification area in the panel, the one with battery, network and such. How do i move it? I can't right click and select move as it get a context menu for the icon in the notification applet i click | 11:09 |
| v_v | joris: is this a server ? | 11:09 |
| joris | v_v: yes | 11:09 |
| jjp | joris: can you give us the md5sum of /usr/sbin/sshd ? | 11:10 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: 1 25 mb directory deleted | 11:10 |
| jjp | joris: along with pkg version | 11:10 |
| v_v | joris: if you didn't change the attr of the sshd, you'd better backup your files and install a new system | 11:10 |

| joris | ce8b877f9956bb75ad4de5014c7e5cf0 /usr/sbin/sshd | 11:10 |
| joris | v_v: I might | 11:10 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, also check /var/cache/apt/archives and manually remove .deb files in there | 11:10 |
| jjp | joris: which pg version ? | 11:11 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: ok | 11:11 |
| jjp | pkg ? | 11:11 |
| joris | jjp: how do I check? | 11:11 |
| critical_max | joris: sshd -v | 11:11 |
| EClaesson | scarleo, nevermind, i solved it :) | 11:11 |
| EClaesson | Thanks by the way :) | 11:11 |
| joris | sshd version OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2 | 11:11 |
| scarleo | EClaesson: I think that's a matter of finding the right spot to click, not sure xactly what you mean. Make sure Lock to panel is unticked, then select move. Or move the other applets and that one will adjust automatically | 11:11 |
| scarleo | EClaesson: Ok, good | 11:11 |

| lucid_j | Hi, how could I use a transparent theme on Ubuntu 10.04? I have nto made any changes on WM, so I am using just compiz. | 11:13 |
| critical_max | joris: that is a 3 year old version of sshd and might have been one of the ones vulnerable to a serious exploit. | 11:13 |
| joris | critical_max: I would gladly update it, if I could install it | 11:13 |
| arand_ | dyd I think you might get a problem using relative paths in a launcher... | 11:13 |
| jjp | joris: that's really weird: your ssh server version appears to be compiled for debian / ubuntu, but the pkg is not recorded as installed in your database | 11:14 |
| joris | jjp: I've removed the apt package an hour ago, and did a apt-get clean too | 11:14 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHg5E3nh6Rs&hd=1 | 11:14 |
| joris | jjp: just the sshd binary sticks | 11:14 |
| critical_max | joris: your situation reeks of compromised | 11:15 |
| arand_ | dyd: Also shouldn't that be just //IP/$d | 11:15 |
| critical_max | joris: i'm still looking for the proper md5sum for that version | 11:15 |
| critical_max | joris: the fact it doesn't show in the package manger as jjp said, is really sketchy | 11:15 |
| critical_max | 777 is REALLY sketchy | 11:15 |
| lucid_j | Us3r_Unfiendly: That's not transparent. It's just transparency on terminal backgound.. | 11:15 |
| dyd | arand_: if i do that it gives an error of path not found cause it tries to go /home/user/\\ip\d$ | 11:16 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: ccsm | 11:16 |
| critical_max | joris: you might want to start looking at things like ~/.bash_history for all your users. sloppy hackers don't cover their traces well. might find quick evidence of compromise. might not. | 11:16 |
| joris | critical_max: How does one circumvent Operation not permitted even when they are root? | 11:16 |
| jjp | joris: what's the output ot lsattr /usr/sbin/sshd | 11:16 |
| jjp | ? | 11:16 |
| joris | critical_max: Right now I just want a clean sshd. | 11:16 |
| lucid_j | I use just compiz | 11:16 |
| joris | jjp: ----i------------- /usr/sbin/sshd | 11:17 |
| critical_max | joris: recovering from a compromised system is well beyond the context of this channel's help and you need to do some research | 11:17 |
| Kimmen | lucid_j: take a look at: http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=102&PHPSESSID=81a0ba7850b00097c15adf58e6d7cd26 | 11:17 |
| critical_max | joris: let me keep looking for that md5sum, sec | 11:17 |
| quiescens | mm, immutable | 11:17 |
| jjp | joris: for fresh install then thus apt-get install openssh-server | 11:17 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:17 |
| lucid_j | Kimmen: I downloaded all of them but I cannot install them | 11:17 |
| jjp | joris: you're rooted, I think | 11:17 |
| joris | apt-get install openssh-server doesn't work | 11:17 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: that'll help you. then alt + F2 and type ccsm | 11:18 |
| === k2s[A is now known as _k2s_ | ||
| jjp | joris: yeah, won't run correctly at least for sshd being immutable | 11:18 |
| joris | how do I fix sshd being immutable? | 11:18 |
| ikonia | joris: re-install | 11:18 |
| joris | ikonia: the system? | 11:18 |
| critical_max | joris: the problem is it's not just sshd | 11:18 |
| jjp | joris: you should disconnect this server now | 11:19 |
| Smekerel | hello... | 11:19 |
| ikonia | joris: it looks like you ahve been compromised | 11:19 |

| lucid_j | I have not compizconfig-settings-manager installed | 11:19 |
| ikonia | joris: ok , so then you'll need to re-install | 11:19 |
| lucid_j | just compiz | 11:19 |
| critical_max | joris: its deadly serious, you could have criminals passing stolen stuff over your lines right now. I found http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/openssh-server but I don't see md5sum links... | 11:19 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: then go ahead and use that command. your going to need ccsm to atleast configure compiz's settings | 11:19 |
| === Guest95526 is now known as iflema | ||
| critical_max | joris: there is NO way to be sure you have recovered without a reformat and reinstall. | 11:20 |
| lucid_j | Us3r_Unfriendly: Could I do that without configure? | 11:20 |
| joris | hm. | 11:20 |
| jjp | joris: can you find a way to share the sshd binary you have ? | 11:20 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: ccsm stands for compizconfig-settings-manager | 11:20 |
| joris | jjp: sure, no problem | 11:20 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: sorry to ask, but the "no disk space" problem still there? | 11:20 |
| dyd | shieeet, i did it ;) | 11:20 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: I don't believe so | 11:21 |
| lucid_j | Us3r_Unfriendly: I know what it is | 11:21 |
| joris | jjp: http://hoorayforinternet.com/sshd | 11:21 |
| critical_max | joris: not trying to be alarmist at all. but at the LEAST you need to disconnect the machine from the internet to further analyze it. | 11:21 |
| dyd | don't know why but it had to be nautilus "/media/E25C67D55C67A351/Documents and Settings/user.domain/Desktop/" | 11:21 |
| lucid_j | And what should I coonfigure if I install ccsm? | 11:21 |
| joris | critical_max: I only have access to the machine over the internets. | 11:21 |
| dyd | fail this is to local hd :|| | 11:21 |
| critical_max | joris: from everything you said it's been rooted, and I bet you can confirm that, but you need to reduce your liability by disconnecting it so the organized criminals that owned it don't get to use it | 11:21 |
| critical_max | joris: do you have hands on site or no | 11:21 |
| joris | critical_max: no, the server is in a different country | 11:22 |
| critical_max | joris: or is it a vhost? | 11:22 |
| joris | it's a dedicated machine | 11:22 |
| young | /exit | 11:22 |

| critical_max | joris: normal thing to do is configure and ship a new hard drive then | 11:22 |
| sl33k_ | is there a method to repartition wubi? | 11:22 |
| ikonia | joris: it's up to you what you do, and how you proceed | 11:22 |
| joris | sure. I just don't want to lose my dns and mailserver before I'm sure I can get them up just as quickly | 11:22 |
| critical_max | joris: thats all I can say, take it serious, because you have enough evidence to suspect being rooted, and that's criminal liability in some places if you let it go. i dont want to say more, really. | 11:23 |
| ikonia | joris: again - that's up to you how you proceed | 11:23 |
| MrGoodkat | is it possible to copy thunderbird settings and emails from ubuntu to windows? | 11:23 |

| === k2s[A is now known as _k2s_ | ||
| critical_max | joris: that would be good. :) | 11:23 |
| joris | Just getting named and postfix back up won't be easy for me | 11:23 |
| joris | don't really care about anything else | 11:23 |
| critical_max | joris: be extremely sure that you do not expose any service to the internet before it is fully configured and strong password | 11:24 |
| sl33k_ | is there a method to repartition wubi? | 11:24 |
| ikonia | joris: can't really progress this any more | 11:24 |
| critical_max | joris: on the next time | 11:24 |
| ikonia | sl33k_: please stop asking and wait for a response | 11:24 |
| sl33k_ | my bad | 11:24 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, I answered that question in detail. You cannot resize the partition without MUCH more work than to simply uninstall and reinstall. It is a major flaw in WUBI. | 11:24 |
| MrGoodkat | ikonia: there is only an import function | 11:24 |
| ikonia | MrGoodkat: how odd, if there is an import option, you'd suspect an export option too | 11:25 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: i dont know how to mount the partitions after a reinstall | 11:26 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: http://img84.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1qi.png/ http://img833.imageshack.us/i/screenshotmlm.png/ | 11:26 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, it lets you choose the install size for WUBI when you install | 11:26 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, just pick something like 15 or 20 gigs :) | 11:26 |
| jjp | joris: what's output of ldd /usr/sbin/sshd ? | 11:27 |
| lucid_j | Us3r_Unfriendly: That's also not transparent! | 11:27 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: I believe your wrong sir | 11:28 |
| jjp | joris: currently found nothing unusual in ur version of sshd; could someone find md5sum for sshd compiled for 64 bits ? | 11:28 |
| lucid_j | It is black | 11:28 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, huh? exactly as it is now | 11:28 |
| lucid_j | the taskbar also is black.. | 11:28 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: look closer | 11:28 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: but i am a newbie, will it be non-trivial | 11:28 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, you already did it once | 11:29 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: your talking about the panel?? I thought you were talking about the windows that were open | 11:29 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: i took help | 11:29 |
| joris | jjp: http://pastie.org/1703522 | 11:29 |
| s3r3n1t7 | jjp, you mean the one from the repo? | 11:29 |
| lucid_j | Us3r_Unfriendly: I am talking about a complete trasparent theme | 11:29 |
| Kimmen | lucid_j: you need emerald to be able to use compiz themes | 11:30 |
| sl33k_ | critical_max: does wubi have to download ubuntu over the interwebs? | 11:30 |
| lucid_j | Ok, so let's forget about it! | 11:30 |
| lucid_j | thanks anyway | 11:30 |
| critical_max | sl33k_, i'd check the website. I don't know these days. | 11:30 |
| Kimmen | lucid_j: you got your answer | 11:30 |
| Kimmen | install emerald, which is a theme manager to use with compiz | 11:30 |
| Kimmen | it supports transparent themes | 11:31 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: right click the panel "taskbar?" and go to the Properties then to the background tab and then click solid color and there's a switch for transparency there. then to ccsm for everything else | 11:31 |
| lucid_j | Kimmen: I have installes emerald and ccms previously, on a previous ubuntu instalation and I messed it up | 11:31 |
| critical_max | jjp: remember it reports as a 2008 version of sshd, OpenSSH_4.7p1 Debian-8ubuntu1.2 | 11:32 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: metacity --replace | 11:32 |
| lucid_j | I ended up without any WM | 11:32 |
| joris | gotta attend to some customers but will monitor your questions to me. thank you all so far for your time and attention. | 11:32 |
| lucid_j | So I want to leave it as it is by default | 11:32 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: if your going to troll i can't help you. you live and learn in the linux community. if your afraid, then you shouldn't do it. | 11:32 |
| Us3r_Unfriendly | sorry | 11:33 |
| lucid_j | But, it would be great if I could install a trasparent theme as I can do with normal gnome themes.. | 11:33 |

| Us3r_Unfriendly | lucid_j: emerald, ccsm, panel properties or some docks properties | 11:34 |

| joris | critical_max: afaik I was up to date with hardy heron | 11:36 |
| s3r3n1t7 | joris, if i may jump in ... i recommend you set up your firewall to only allow you to access it, block any other access and proceed after that. | 11:36 |
| terry | Paddez: sun-java6-jre is probably what you are looking for. | 11:36 |
| cyphase | wild, if i just disconnect it from the computer and plug back in, it works | 11:36 |

| laserbeam3 | guys... I got a small problem with ubuntu keyrings... I got (for some insane reason) 2 password folders (or whatever they are called) in the keyring - one is "default", the other is "login" | 11:50 |
| laserbeam3 | the problem - every time I login... I have to insert my default keyring password for about 4 times (because of the default programs that come on) | 11:51 |
| laserbeam3 | moreover... new passwords are added to the default keyring, not the login one | 11:51 |
| laserbeam3 | any solutions? | 11:51 |

| blackguard- | anyone can help a newby with a dual boot installation ? | 11:57 |
| blackguard- | anyone can give me some information about swap partition ? | 11:59 |
| rodrigo__ | blackguard-: what kind of information? | 11:59 |
| soreau | ! swap | blackguard- | 12:00 |
| ubottu | blackguard-: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 12:00 |
| kmanzoor | hello | 12:02 |
| kmanzoor | is Hardy Heron still supported ? i checked this on wikipedia. On kubuntu page it said it is not spported but on the ubuntu page it is mentioned that it is still supported. I want to install the restricted extra - meaning i want to have the adobe flash. Should i upgrade all the way to 9.10 or i can keep on running Hardy Heron ? | 12:03 |
| jrib | kmanzoor: you should upgrade to at least 10.04 as ubuntu 8.04 is only supported until april of this year | 12:04 |
| xardas008 | kmanzoor, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ | 12:04 |
| xardas008 | there is a list | 12:04 |
| jrib | kmanzoor: since 8.04 and 10.04 are both LTS you can upgrade directly 8.04 -> 10.04 | 12:04 |
| xardas008 | at the bottom of the page is a list of the current releases and how long they are supported (8.04 until april 2011, server until 2013) | 12:05 |
| Pici | kmanzoor, jrib: 8.04 is only supported on the desktop up until April, but the server packages have another 2 years of support. Additionally, I don't think Kubuntu was granted LTS status for that release, I could be wrong though,. | 12:05 |
| iceroot | kmanzoor: kubuntu is not supported (only packages which doesnt belong to kde), ubuntu is supported until 2011, the server edition is supported until 2013, kubuntu was only supported until 2010 | 12:05 |
| iceroot | kmanzoor: kubuntu is not supported because its containing kde3, which is long time out of support | 12:06 |
| magnets | I have a windows PC and a ubuntu pc, two monitors. I want to have my windows desktop "stretch" across both devices so I can use the ubuntu machine as a secondary monitor, is that possible? | 12:06 |
| kmanzoor | ok. the thing i am running now is kubuntu 8.4 (Hardy). Should i do a step by step upgrade or i can skip some versions | 12:07 |
| iceroot | magnets: yes, its called "synergy" | 12:07 |
| iceroot | kmanzoor: make an upgrade to 10.04 directly, but think of you will lost kde3 and will get kde4 | 12:08 |
| jrib | !upgrade | kmanzoor | 12:08 |
| ubottu | kmanzoor: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 12:08 |
| xardas008 | magical, normally ubuntu does that by default. But he will duplicate them. You can go over Preferences -> Monitors and change it | 12:08 |
| rocktop | Hello I have deleted some important files how to undelete it please help | 12:08 |
| magnets | iceroot: I am using synergy, but what I want is more like VNC with a windows virtual desktop | 12:08 |
| === _Akkan is now known as Akkan | ||
| magnets | i.e. the ubuntu machine remotely displays some sort of windows virtual desktop extension | 12:09 |
| iceroot | you dont want vnc, you want rdp (for windows) and nx (for linux) | 12:09 |
| blackguard- | how can i create a swap partition, do i need another partition for dual booting? i havent started the ubuntu installation yet, i am stuck at the beginning | 12:09 |
| tadej_ | quit | 12:10 |
| rocktop | anyidea ? | 12:10 |
| kmanzoor | ok i am reading the upgrade notes | 12:10 |
| xardas008 | rocktop, you can look in the trash | 12:11 |
| wild | How do I move a folder from my root folder to the opt folder? | 12:11 |
| rocktop | xardas008 : has been deleted by rm -rf | 12:11 |
| mcb_1 | wild: $mv /rott/folder /opt | 12:12 |
| wild | I get a permission denied error when I try to move my folder to the opt folder | 12:12 |
| mcb_1 | Wild, you must be loged as root for this.... | 12:12 |
| Linuxpwns | sudo mv /root/foldername /opt | 12:13 |
| mcb_1 | You can "sudo mv ..... " | 12:13 |
| wild | mcb_1 Do I have to do this in the terminal, can I not just drag and drop? | 12:13 |
| xardas008 | rocktop, ok then there won't be a trash. You can use the following: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/69673-not-possible-recover-files-deleted-using-rm.html | 12:13 |
| xardas008 | maybe that helps in the future | 12:13 |
| blackguard- | i am getting this error message : No root file system is defined, Please correct this from the partitioning menu. Anyone can help ? | 12:14 |
| mcb_1 | Use the term, it is much simpler. Just type "sudo mv /root/folder /opt" That is it.... | 12:14 |
| Linuxpwns | quit | 12:15 |
| kmanzoor | On this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades it is mentioned that Direct upgrades to Kubuntu 10.04 LTS are supported from Kubuntu 9.10 (but not Kubuntu 8.04)." I am using 8.04 (Hardy) and i am confused. | 12:16 |

| rcmaehl | syria | 12:18 |
| Syria | rcmaehl: Yes? | 12:18 |
| rcmaehl | Syria: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:18 |
| ohsix | LetsGo67: they're in the arp table, but only if th ecomputer has recently seen arp queries for those machines | 12:18 |
| ohsix | LetsGo67: try arp -an | 12:18 |
| soreau | blackguard-: You need to define a partition for the system install. Its mount point is / | 12:18 |
| blackguard- | i cant continue on the installation | 12:19 |
| Syria | rcmaehl: Thank you. | 12:19 |
| rcmaehl | LetsGo67: you can try a network probe by pinging the ip range of the network | 12:19 |
| soreau | ! who | blackguard- | 12:19 |
| ubottu | blackguard-: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 12:19 |
| blackguard- | i am chossing the partition i want to install ubuntu and i am getting this error message | 12:19 |

| blackguard- | soreau: i am at the window to allocate drive space and i looking at the hdd's and partitions | 12:21 |
| [TK]D-Fender | blackguard-: "Mount as" <- | 12:22 |
| soreau | blackguard-: The partition you create for ubuntu root file system must have / as mount point | 12:22 |
| LetsGo67 | Ohsix: thanks! | 12:22 |
| Syria | rcmaehl: Something went wrong! http://paste.ubuntu.com/584249/ | 12:22 |
| kmanzoor | [TK]D-Fender : thanks for providing that needed link | 12:23 |
| [TK]D-Fender | kmanzoor: It was ont he page you gave us | 12:23 |
| mcb_1 | LetsGo67 - The is also arp-scan that can get you an mac address from an ip address. | 12:24 |
| ohsix | and arping | 12:24 |
| baroluco | hi | 12:24 |
| ohsix | but if you can ping an ip address, it'll show up in the arp table | 12:24 |
| rcmaehl | Syria: it's just a minor error it should be automatically fixed with the next sudo apt-get update | 12:24 |
| [TK]D-Fender | kmanzoor: Upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS ----> "Because Kubuntu 8.04 was not an LTS release and has passed its end of life, direct upgrades to Kubuntu 10.04 LTS from Kubuntu 8.04 are not supported.

| blackguard- | soreau: i am trying to install ubuntu on a hdd that already has a 30bg partition of windows and 200gb of allocated space | 12:24 |
| [TK]D-Fender | kmanzoor: it was right there in the middle | 12:24 |
| rcmaehl | Syria: just do sudo apt-get upgrade | 12:24 |
| rcmaehl | Syria: and firefox should be upgraded to ff4 | 12:25 |
| andybe | Hi, does anyone know if there's a way to force the "connect to server..." connection to disconnect and reconnect without closing all the open files first? | 12:25 |
| soreau | blackguard-: That has no bearing on the fact that you must define a root mount point as / | 12:25 |
| blackguard- | soreau: what i want to do is manualy create the partitions i need and procced with the installation | 12:25 |
| soreau | blackguard-: fine go ahead | 12:25 |
| kmanzoor | [TK]D-Fender : ok | 12:25 |
| [TK]D-Fender | blackguard-: go back into the partition edit screen and choose the mount point | 12:25 |
| sunxuxueyuan | WHAT??? | 12:26 |
| [TK]D-Fender | blackguard-: You seem to have skipped this step | 12:26 |
| baroluco | exit | 12:26 |
| nathan42100 | Hi gues, I have an urgent problem. We have a bash script that mounts an nfs share, rsyncs some files, then unmounts the script (simplified). Originally, the mount point was backup.rrc.neu.edu:/share/customer_data/active | 12:27 |
| dean[w] | I just uninstalled compiz on ubuntu 10.10 x64 and was left with no window manager. I installed xfwm4 but now in google chrome my button layout icons (close, minimize etc.) are in the top left instead of right. Chrome is the only program exhibiting this behaviour. Suggestions? | 12:27 |
| nathan42100 | after a firmware upgrade to the QNAP nas, the mount point was somehow changed so the correct point is backup.rrc.neu.edu:/customer_data/active | 12:27 |
| blackguard- | [TK]D-Fender : i made a partition as ext4 from the partition program witch i cant recall the name, its on the live cd | 12:28 |
| blackguard- | [TK]D-Fender then i reentered the installation and i am getting the same message | 12:28 |
| nathan42100 | backup.rrc.neu.edu:/share.... now mounts the wrong point, but if you unmount and remount, it works fine (I had put a symlink in there for compatibility reasons) | 12:28 |
| nathan42100 | I need it to work on the first time | 12:28 |
| nathan42100 | not the second | 12:28 |
| [TK]D-Fender | blackguard-: Yes, and in the same dialog box that you tell it the File System type is a box to enter the MOUNT POINT | 12:28 |
| [TK]D-Fender | blackguard-: This is essential. Go back and fill it in | 12:28 |
| r0fs3ck5 | can anyone recommend a way to monitor which processes are communicating on which ports in ubuntu? | 12:29 |

| rcmaehl | no problem | 12:30 |
| r0fs3ck5 | thanks High_Priest | 12:30 |
| High_Priest | r0fs3ck5, np.. do you need an example? | 12:30 |
| [TK]D-Fender | blackguard-: http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/extra/LINUX/large/ubuntu1010installation-large_003.jpg | 12:31 |
| [TK]D-Fender | blackguard-: It's right there | 12:31 |
| blackguard- | [TK]D-Fender : oh i see, so i need to add a "/" | 12:31 |
| nathan42100 | anyone have any ideas? | 12:32 |
| [TK]D-Fender | blackguard-: You need to tell Ubuntu to USE it and at what point in the filesystem to mount it. | 12:32 |
| joris | If I backup /etc/bind/, do I have everything that configs my nameserver? | 12:32 |
| High_Priest | joris, not necessarily | 12:33 |
| wild | I rebooted Ubuntu and I got this error: could not update ICEauthority file /home/en/.ICEauthority Now what? | 12:33 |
| kmanzoor | [TK]D-Fender : I have Adept 2.1 Cruiser 3.5.10. The instructions say that i must have adept-manager 2.1.3ubuntu25.2 installed. How to solve this issue ? | 12:33 |
| brontosaurusrex | from cli, how to copy (clone) a directory in such a way that all the timedata gets preserved? | 12:34 |
| joris | High_Priest: My zonefiles are in there. That's pretty much it, no? | 12:34 |
| [TK]D-Fender | kmanzoor: Not sure, have you done all of the standard updates for your platform? | 12:34 |
| ohsix | wild: the permissions are probably wrong on that file, some usages of sudo can cause that if the program being ran works with credentials; you'll need to delete it or change its owner back to your user | 12:34 |
| High_Priest | joris, if you have your zone files there and bind config as well I think you should be fine | 12:35 |
| r0fs3ck5 | Again, thank you High_Priest, lsof is much more convenient than tcpdump for what I'm doing. | 12:35 |
| joris | thanks | 12:35 |
| wild | There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) obsix | 12:35 |
| mcb_1 | brontosaurusrex: use "cp" with --preserve[=ATTR_LIST] | 12:35 |
| ohsix | r0fs3ck5: you can use netstat too, and you don't need special privileges | 12:36 |
| kmanzoor | [TK]D-Fender : i upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy today using the Adept. I havent performed any updates separately. | 12:36 |
| High_Priest | r0fs3ck5, joris, np, cheers | 12:36 |
| r0fs3ck5 | thanks ohsix, i'll give it a go | 12:36 |
| _antant | right, I'm out of ideas. I switched my ATI card out for an nvidia one and now I'm getting a 'no screens found' error. I installed nvidia-96, I installed nvidia-current, no luck. Anyone? | 12:36 |
| mcb_1 | r0fs3ck5: netstat will only give you wich IP binds to each port, not the process..... | 12:36 |

| [TK]D-Fender | kmanzoor: Sorry, I cannot advise from this point | 12:37 |
| wild | obsix, how do I change anything if I can not get ubuntu to lanch now? | 12:37 |
| High_Priest | wild, try booting to recovery mode and chown and chmod ( 644) that .Iceauthority file | 12:38 |
| brontosaurusrex | mcb_1: mkay, thanks | 12:38 |
| mcb_1 | np brontosaurusrex | 12:38 |
| r0fs3ck5 | Seppoz, virtualize and share the fs | 12:38 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ? | 12:38 |
| ohsix | wild: i'd just boot into single user mode if it happened, or log in remotely, or switch to a tty | 12:38 |
| brontosaurusrex | mcb_1: cp -dpr /src /dst <- did the trick | 12:39 |

| Speedle | whats up whats up fellow ubuntu users? | 12:43 |
| ohsix | pkkm: "user" probably doesn't have credentials to connect to your display | 12:43 |
| kmanzoor | I went to Adept and used the About feature in the Help tab to find my version it said: Adept 2.1 Cruiser 3.5.10. Is my version older than adept-manager 2.1.3ubuntu25.2 ? | 12:44 |

| High_Priest | brontosaurusrex, df -h will show you size/used/available | 12:45 |
| r0fs3ck5 | Hi Speedle | 12:45 |
| High_Priest | version32, have you tried aptitude search ? | 12:45 |
| brontosaurusrex | High_Priest: i know, i just need the ###G part | 12:46 |
| ohsix | brontosaurusrex: use "cut" | 12:46 |
| pkkm | ohsix, How to give credentials to the user? | 12:46 |
| wild | High_Priest I mean, I closed ubuntu. Then from my virtual box I started it again. then the install ubuntu screen appeared. I quit that and now it is running but as ubuntu@ubuntu | 12:47 |
| ohsix | pkkm: with xauth iirc | 12:47 |
| High_Priest | wild, did you have installation media inserted? | 12:47 |
| r0fs3ck5 | wild, detach the ubuntu ISO from virtualbox devices | 12:48 |
| pkkm | ohsix, Thanks | 12:48 |
| _antant | Guys, what's the name of the nvidia driver I should have in my xorg.conf? | 12:48 |
| High_Priest | wild, anywayz, you just need to boot to runlevel 1 (maintenance mode) to fix the permissions on .Iceauthority | 12:48 |
| wild | High_Priest no media | 12:48 |
| blackguard- | [TK]D-Fender: on the gparted i want to create a swap partition, am i creating a partition and then changing its file system to linux-swap? | 12:48 |
| High_Priest | wild, hm.. that's rather strange.. | 12:49 |
| mcb_1 | brontosaurusrex: This shold you what you want... $df -hT | awk '{print$5}' | 12:49 |
| kmanzoor | my version problem is solved. i was look at the wrong place. the correct place to check the version is the adept packages manager - packages list and not the About menu. | 12:49 |
| wild | rofs3ck5 how do I detach the ISO? | 12:49 |
| [TK]D-Fender | blackguard-: When you create the partition you tell it the type. Yuo don't do it as A and then change it to B after | 12:49 |
| ohsix | pkkm: er, xhost, not xauth | 12:49 |

| willy_1977 | _antant, what version of ubuntu are you trying to get nvidia drivers installed on? | 12:55 |
| wild | rofs3ck5 but I do not have the usb stick in my machine. | 12:55 |
| kumpa | #odforce | 12:55 |
| r0fs3ck5 | wild, what you have done is created a vm that is actually set up as an installer | 12:55 |
| sipior | DarsVaeda: you could set up a .netrc file including the relevant information. have a look at "man netrc". | 12:56 |
| nishant | dnivra, did you try http://directory.fsf.org/project/libgcrypt/ | 12:56 |
| r0fs3ck5 | wild, the .vdi is detected as a flash drive. | 12:56 |
| pkkm | ohsix, Seems like xhost manages permissions only for hosts. | 12:56 |

| krosh | Hi everyone. I think Empathy Ubuntu version has a stupid bug. Empathy is closed whenever I click on nick of user to start a talk. Does anyone know something about that bug? | 12:57 |

| wizardken | empathy has always been flucked,krosh | 12:57 |

| willy_1977 | dnivra, are you compiling as you've made alterations or you just want to go through the process? if you just want to install amarok and get it to play MP3 etc. you could try something like this http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/03/how-to-install-amarok-in-ubuntu-and-get-it-to-play-mp3s/ | 13:00 |
| wild | rofs3ck5 I have been trying to get a system up that can serve as a drupal development area for 3 days. It does not feel easy. | 13:00 |
| nishant | ask in amarok dnivra , I am not very sure about compiling from scratch | 13:00 |
| blackguard- | [TK]D-Fender : something last, what's the "/" i added and does the partition i created as linux-swap gonna be for the purpose of swap or i did something wrong? | 13:00 |
| dnivra | willy_1977, actually I was asked to do the compiling process since I would like to work on amarok i.e. do amarok development. that is why. sure I know how install it otherwise :). | 13:01 |
| pkkm | ohsix, Just found out that the command should be: xhost +SI:localuser:user | 13:01 |
| nishant | #amarok is official channel for amarok related discussion | 13:01 |
| dnivra | nishant, i did. they said I need to find the distro package. that isn't what they'd be able to help with right? | 13:01 |
| willy_1977 | dnivra, ok, just wanted to make sure ;) | 13:01 |
| krosh | wizardken, empathy hasn't worked fine for me in Fedora and Ubuntu. I think there must be a lot of corrections to be done | 13:01 |
| ohsix | pkkm: xhost +si:localuser:user | 13:01 |
| ohsix | yea that | 13:01 |
| dnivra | willy_1977, sure thing! thanks :). | 13:01 |
| lokus | im trying to start up a vnc session via ssh from an already opened desktop. anyone know which route/vnc package to use? | 13:02 |
| r0fs3ck5 | wild, it is easy. you simply picked the wrong install option. just go through it again. not too hard. | 13:02 |
| [TK]D-Fender | blackguard-: "/" means that partition is the base of your OS install, and there is no mount point for linux-swap. | 13:02 |
| [TK]D-Fender | BlackYou define it as such and it "just works" | 13:02 |

| _antant | remove the nvidia driver?? | 13:17 |
| dyd | so should be something like "smb ip share user password", i guess | 13:18 |
| ruan | Bhavesh_A_P: note that linux is a kernel, and those are operating systems _based_ on the linux kernel | 13:18 |

| SystemDefault0 | alesan: I use Firefox 3.5 and it works fine. | 13:37 |
| asfjio | elFidel: by manually you mean download the bz and run ./firefox inside there, right? | 13:37 |
| ruan | alesan: FF4 is very different from FF3 | 13:37 |
| ruan | thus the non-default upgrade | 13:37 |
| elFidel | asfjio: yes - but i would go for the ppa | 13:37 |
| ale_ | ale | 13:37 |
| SystemDefault0 | alesan: If you wanna use Frefox 4 you should install it from Terminal. | 13:37 |
| ale_ | a | 13:37 |
| sipior | alesan: they're not going to jump browser version outside of the release cycle. if that bothers you, use the ppa. | 13:38 |
| ruan | though im confused. | 13:38 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, what do you get if you just run the mount command in a terminal? | 13:38 |
| alesan | ruan, I thought ubuntu wanted to mimic windows and mac in terms of functionality | 13:38 |
| ruan | will they ever include ff4 in default updates? | 13:38 |
| alesan | so why not make just the upgrade and that's it | 13:38 |
| ruan | because ff3 wont afaik | 13:38 |
| zvacet | Ja23: it is smart decision 8-) | 13:38 |
| ruan | get any more updates | 13:38 |
| asfjio | elFidel: what is the benefit? | 13:38 |
| uczen | hi @ll | 13:38 |
| elFidel | asfjio: of your question? | 13:38 |
| elFidel | asfjio: you were asking for a way to install ff4 right? | 13:39 |
| sipior | alesan: neither windows of apple ship firefox either. you have to do exactly the same amount of work under ubuntu. | 13:39 |
| SystemDefault0 | alesan: Do not upgrade. Do fresh installs. | 13:39 |
| ruan | apple and windows never shipped firefox by default. you're lucky | 13:39 |
| elFidel | asfjio: so install it manually or via ppa. or wait until it comes to your distro on the official way | 13:39 |
| alesan | SystemDefault0, why would I want to do that | 13:39 |
| sipior | SystemDefault0: this isn't 1998. | 13:39 |
| sl33k_ | willy_1977: actually my os is just about to get wubi installed and i dont understand what mount means? | 13:39 |
| bullgard4 | What package is the Disk Mounter applet associated with (in order to report a bug)? | 13:39 |
| SystemDefault0 | Hahaha! | 13:39 |
| _antant | ok, I have one more problem. The resolution of my splash screens is ridiculously low. I've tried setting it as 1920x1080 in the plymouth manager but no luck | 13:40 |
| asfjio | elFidel: i was jus curious, because i didn't use PPA. anyway thank you very much for the help! | 13:40 |
| ruan | _antant: there is a gui app that can configure grub | 13:40 |
| ruan | _antant: startup-manager | 13:41 |
| ruan | !info startupmanager | 13:41 |
| ubottu | startupmanager (source: startupmanager): Grub, Usplash and Splash screen configuration. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.13-5 (maverick), package size 114 kB, installed size 1360 kB | 13:41 |
| _antant | installing now | 13:41 |
| _antant | cheers | 13:41 |
| alesan | hey can I install linux-2.6.38 from some PPA thing? | 13:41 |
| elFidel | alesan: in case you arent used to work with ppa's - you should most likely not mess around with kernel in general | 13:42 |
| elFidel | just my feeling | 13:43 |
| SystemDefault0 | Well, gotta go. Take care and have a nice day/night people. | 13:43 |
| zvacet | alesan: I don't think so ,but you can try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/automatically-compile-and-install-the-latest-kernel-using-kernelcheck-in-ubuntu.html | 13:43 |
| alesan | elFidel, but do you know if it's possible? | 13:43 |
| tjader | alesan: very likely to be | 13:43 |
| alesan | very different opignions | 13:44 |
| _antant | hmm. Couldn't tell it to use 1920x1080 | 13:44 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, ok, so mount basically allows linux to view the directory of a device/partition | 13:44 |
| _antant | max it would do is 1600x1200 | 13:44 |
| ruan | _antant: it might not load nvidia drivers along with grub. idk | 13:44 |
| tjader | alesan: how are our opinions different? | 13:44 |
| ruan | that could possibly be the issue | 13:44 |
| ruan | _antant: but 1600x1200 is still large | 13:44 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, usually it's done behind the scenes | 13:44 |
| alesan | tjader, "<zvacet> alesan: I don't think so ,but you can try..." | 13:44 |
| _antant | will be stretched though | 13:45 |
| sl33k_ | willy_1977: cool | 13:45 |
| tjader | I didn't catch that :p | 13:45 |
| bazZti | hi | 13:45 |
| _antant | do I have to install the nvidia vdpau seperately? | 13:45 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, if you are in ubuntu if you open a terminal (do you know how to do that?) | 13:45 |
| ruan | ctrl alt t | 13:45 |
| sl33k_ | willy_1977: no | 13:46 |
| Squarism | is there some (actively developed) GROWL like application for linux? | 13:46 |
| zvacet | alesan: if you want latest kernel use link I posted to you | 13:46 |
| ruan | Squarism: what is GROWL? | 13:46 |
| sl33k_ | willy_1977: so we mount windows partitions? | 13:46 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, ruan got it press ctrl alt and t | 13:46 |
| elFidel | ruan: some mac-os-related notification system other apps can use | 13:46 |
| Squarism | ruan, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=growl | 13:46 |
| Squarism | =D | 13:46 |
| elFidel | ruan: i guess similar to the libnotify thing in linux | 13:47 |
| tjader | so, anyone has any idea why I have no aptitude and X doesn't work after a clean install? | 13:47 |
| sipior | Squarism: sure, the NotifyOSD stuff that gnome uses is very similar in functionality. | 13:47 |
| ozko_890 | hello! | 13:47 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, yep you can, you can choose readonly or read/write access | 13:47 |
| tjader | X worked fine in the install cd | 13:47 |
| Squarism | ruan, its a notification service | 13:47 |
| ruan | lol | 13:47 |

| sipior | Squarism: notifyOSDconfig would likely do what you want. | 13:49 |
| === sowhat is now known as Aggress0r | ||
| kaechan | helllo | 13:49 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, they should automount but I guess it depends on the file system | 13:49 |
| ruan | ctrl alt t would launch a terminal. | 13:49 |
| zvacet | pitlimit: then install it | 13:49 |
| _antant | startupmanager didn't work. I'm still at 640x480-8 | 13:49 |
| pitlimit | do I need it if I'm using it in my VMWare? | 13:49 |
| sl33k_ | ok | 13:49 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, what ruan said | 13:49 |
| Curly_Q | Hello good folks. Is there an application that you can scan in a form and fill in the details and then print it out? | 13:50 |
| pitlimit | ruan and then what do i do? | 13:50 |
| pitlimit | I have terminal open now ruan | 13:50 |
| zvacet | pitlimit: yes how you will start ubuntu? | 13:50 |
| Squarism | sipior, but that is installed right? Is there an admin UI for it? | 13:50 |
| pitlimit | :) yes I figured after I asked that was probably a bad q | 13:50 |
| Curly_Q | I suppose I could create a graphics and then superimpose the text over the graphics. | 13:50 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, so would you want these partitions to show every time you boot to ubuntu? | 13:51 |
| pitlimit | zvacet: do you know how I can install grub through command line? | 13:51 |
| elFidel | Squarism: afaik there is no growl-like config dialog for it available (at least not osx sys-prefs-panel like) | 13:51 |

| ruan | pitlimit: not sure. | 13:53 |
| zvacet | pitlimit: and second link ? ;) | 13:53 |
| elFidel | ozko_890: ask in a windows channel - as it is most likely a windows/windows7 related issue - not an ubuntu issue | 13:53 |
| elFidel | lucid_j: advice as in example config ? the web is full of it or what do you mean? | 13:54 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, so open a terminal and issue the command "mount" without the quotes | 13:54 |
| ozko_890 | elFidel: it is an issue ? and if it is, why windows 7 can read the shared files from others ? | 13:54 |
| willy_1977 | sl33k_, that should give a list of what (if anything) is mounted already | 13:54 |
| Guest31414 | _jesse_, would you happen to be the same _jesse_ that hangs out in #web with daemon and OreoCookie? | 13:54 |

| sl33k_ | willy_1977: ok another question, there are many kernels that pop out during boot, how do i remove these unwanted kernels? | 13:57 |

| hiromi | lillecarl, as I said, create the shortcut and make sure you check Run in Terminal | 15:02 |
| s3r3n1t7 | lillecarl, gnome-terminal -e command | 15:02 |
| sushantd84 | dagon66 hey any guess ? | 15:02 |
| lillecarl | hiromi, oh :D | 15:02 |
| hiromi | lillecarl, or you can use what s3r3n1t7 said | 15:03 |
| lillecarl | Yah thnx alot :) | 15:03 |

| MotherMGA | Hello. IsHello. Is there a way to change the speed of my mouse scrollwheel for all applications? There isn't a setting in mouse preferences. there a way to change the speed of my mouse scrollwheel for all applications? There isn't a setting in mouse preferences. I tried using xset to change mouse properties, but I couldn't figure it out. | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | tdn, you have to, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 15:04 |
| hiromi | MotherMGA, as far as I know, that is GTK+ specific and usually depends on the viewport's dimensions | 15:05 |
| kerneloops_ | How can I remove all Totem movie player file associations? I want VLC to open ALL video files automatically | 15:05 |
| MotherMGA | hiromi: any suggestions? | 15:05 |
| wild | with a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, I want to setup a drupal 7 site, is there a fast setup solution? | 15:05 |
| hiromi | MotherMGA, not that I know of... usually developers can change it on a per-application basis but that is it | 15:06 |
| MotherMGA | scrollspeed is a basic feature that can be changed in all other OS's. Seems silly that ubuntu doesn't let you do it. | 15:06 |
| MotherMGA | ok. thanks. | 15:06 |
| hiromi | MotherMGA, How can you change scroll speed when it is hardware dependent? | 15:06 |
| An_Ony_Moose | is it possible to force creation of a second GNOME session as the same user? | 15:06 |
| MotherMGA | Normally, there is a setting in the mouse driver. | 15:07 |
| MotherMGA | I would guess it does it by means of a message multiplier. | 15:07 |
| hiromi | MotherMGA, hmm... then it's still hardware dependent... Ubuntu usually doesn't come with specific driver settings | 15:07 |
| siick | genii-around: ok i did select tcl8.5, still getting the same error, do i need to restart some service/box? | 15:07 |
| hiromi | MotherMGA, it does work like that, multiplies messages, but I don't think you can do that in X11/Ubuntu | 15:08 |
| zagabar | I changed my domain name that points to my ubuntu server and I can receive mails when sending to the new name, but outgoing mail still looks like it comes from the old address. Where to change that? | 15:09 |
| wild | Is there any way to get to the files on a virtual hard drive from windows? | 15:09 |
| genii-around | siick: May not take effect until next login | 15:09 |
| MotherMGA | thanks for your help hiromi | 15:09 |
| hiromi | MotherMGA, tho, if you are a developer you might want to take a look at parts of GTK+ and see if there is any possibility of increasing the step size on default widgets or reemit a scroll event | 15:10 |
| trtry | what | 15:10 |
| siick | genii-around ok thanks, got "update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/tclsh8.5 to provide /usr/bin/tclsh (tclsh) in manual mode." will try relog, thanks again for your help. | 15:10 |
| trtry | whats to do on a such chat?> | 15:10 |
| BluesKaj | kerneloops_, right click on your media files that have different extns so cover all the bases , choose "open with /other , then in dialog choose multimedia ,vlc, check the "Remember application association" | 15:10 |
| hiromi | MotherMGA, you can make GTK+ modules that work on any application ... | 15:10 |
| MotherMGA | ALright. | 15:11 |
| kerneloops_ | Why "Preferred Applications" does not list VLC player?! | 15:11 |
| Besogon | kerneloops_: cause it is not a 'preferrable application' ;) | 15:12 |
| dagon666 | Besogon: :D | 15:12 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, that is done now. However, still only noise when I play the file? | 15:12 |
| kerneloops_ | lol? | 15:12 |
| kerneloops_ | .p | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | kerneloops_,choose "other" then multimedia | 15:12 |
| kerneloops_ | BluesKaj: yes i tried vlc %f | 15:12 |
| kerneloops_ | custom* not other | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | then the file is probly corrupted, kerneloops_ | 15:13 |
| === _sl33k is now known as sl33k_ | ||
| kerneloops_ | BluesKaj: what file | 15:13 |
| ruan | where is gedit located? | 15:14 |
| kerneloops_ | BluesKaj: I just want to remove Totem player file associations | 15:14 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, the file is not corrupted. But DRM protected. It works in Windows Media PLayer. | 15:14 |
| kerneloops_ | ruan: "whereis gedit" | 15:14 |
| willy_1977 | ruan, run whereis gedit from a terminal | 15:14 |
| ruan | hmm, found it in /usr/bin | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | kerneloops_, Read This very carefully! right click on your media file , choose "open with "other ", then in dialog choose multimedia ,vlc, check the "Remember application association" | 15:15 |
| Kruptein | BluesKaj: :D | 15:16 |
| === sl33k_ is now known as _sl33k | ||
| BluesKaj | tdn, did you install libdvdcss2? | 15:16 |
| kerneloops_ | BluesKaj: yes I know that way! need to do it for every video extension bah | 15:16 |
| BluesKaj | kerneloops_, well it can't be that difficult :) | 15:16 |
| Kruptein | hey I have pidgin and empathy installed, and I always use pidgin, but sometime empathy just starts and logs in to my accounts disturbing my pidgin sessions and causing me to lose some messages | 15:16 |
| kerneloops_ | it's a pain | 15:16 |
| coz_ | tdn, run this command sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 15:17 |
| Kruptein | is there any possible way to avoid this without removing empathy from my system? | 15:17 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, yes. | 15:17 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, but can dvdcss strip drm from WMA files? It is not a DVD. | 15:17 |
| tdn | coz_, ok | 15:17 |
| kerneloops_ | Kruptein: I have a theory: if I dont use a program I remove it :p | 15:18 |
| hiromi | Kruptein, in Startup Applications uncheck the Empathy entry | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | coz_, libdvdread4 is supposed to install with libdvdcss2 | 15:18 |
| coz_ | Kruptein, mm maybe make the executalbe .old | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | tdn, yes | 15:18 |
| tdn | coz_, I did that. Still garbage when playing the WMA in mplayer | 15:18 |
| ruan | what's the difference between "performance" and "ondemand"? | 15:18 |
| coz_ | BluesKaj, oh! mm I always use that command | 15:18 |
| === _sl33k is now known as sl33k_ | ||
| BluesKaj | coz_, well, it can't hurt :) | 15:18 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, coz_, it did not help. | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | BBL | 15:19 |
| Kruptein | kerneloops_: I also have that theory :D except that It already occured twice that pidgin wasn't able to connect when empathy was ;) | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | wma, tdn is audio | 15:19 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, correct. | 15:19 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, is that a problem? | 15:19 |
| Kruptein | hiromi: empathy isn't in my startup list ;) | 15:19 |
| Kruptein | it just at random times starts itself :D | 15:19 |
| Kruptein | it's quite scary actually | 15:20 |
| Geidrow | Hi! I plan use Lucid from DVD, create 1 extended partition and 3 logical: system, swap, home. Is it enough space if system partition's size will be 7 GB, home - 10 GB. For instance, I burn 9 GB DVD; where temp files will saved - on system or home partition? | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | you don' need libdvdcss2 for that, tdn | 15:20 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, thats what I thought. Then what do I need? | 15:20 |
| tdn | BluesKaj, here is output from audacious: http://paste.adora.dk/P1996.txt | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | w32codec, tdn | 15:20 |
| tdn | E: Unable to locate package w32codec | 15:20 |
| tdn | non-free-codecs? | 15:21 |
| coz_ | tdn, http://packages.medibuntu.org/maverick/index.html | 15:21 |

| tdn | :) | 15:21 |
| cyybborg | can anyone quickly run me through how firefox 4 is being distrubuted for ubuntu? | 15:21 |
| coz_ | tdn, scroll to bottom and choose | 15:21 |
| Kruptein | cyybborg: ppa or bz2 | 15:21 |
| cyybborg | ? | 15:21 |
| iceroot | !ff4 | cyybborg | 15:21 |
| ubottu | cyybborg: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. To install it, use the PPA by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 15:21 |
| Kruptein | cyybborg: you do know what a ppa is? | 15:22 |
| cyybborg | no | 15:22 |
| cyybborg | maybe, but not by that acronym | 15:22 |
| tdn | coz_, I installed w64codec now. Then what? audacious can still not play it. However, it does not segfault anymore. Just garbage. | 15:22 |
| Kruptein | cyybborg: it's personal package archive | 15:22 |
| hiromi | Kruptein, how does it start up ... randomly then? | 15:22 |
| coz_ | tdn, did you try vlc? | 15:22 |
| cyybborg | i believe I downloaded it from mozila | 15:22 |
| Kruptein | cyybborg: if you don't know the acronym you should learn about ubuntu and how it installs/removes things | 15:22 |
| coz_ | cyybborg, Personal Package Archive = PPA | 15:22 |
| Kruptein | cyybborg: that's fine too | 15:23 |
| tdn | coz_, did now. No sound. | 15:23 |
| Kruptein | cyybborg: you need to unpack the .tar.bz2 and then run "firefox" | 15:23 |
| coz_ | tdn, o0 this is odd ,, while that file is playing open a terminal alsamixer check sliders | 15:23 |
| tdn | coz_, and lots of errors in the terminal. | 15:23 |
| Kruptein | do not run "firefox-bin" though | 15:23 |
| iceroot | Kruptein: i already told him how to do it | 15:23 |
| tdn | coz_, sliders? | 15:23 |
| Kruptein | hiromi: yes :D | 15:23 |
| tdn | coz_, alsamixer? | 15:23 |
| cyybborg | ok, like go into the directory and run the firefox file in a terminal window? | 15:23 |
| iceroot | cyybborg: please dont use the bz2, use what ubottu told you | 15:23 |
| coz_ | tdn, yeah open another terminal type alsamixer | 15:23 |
| tdn | coz_, the sound volume is not turned down :) | 15:23 |
| Kruptein | iceroot: yes I know but as he already downloaded the .tar.gz from mozilla | 15:24 |
| coz_ | tdn, the volume sliders | 15:24 |
| tdn | coz_, yes, sound is turned up. | 15:24 |
| Kruptein | cyybborg: no terminal needed, but ppa is better | 15:24 |
| coz_ | tdn, is this a downloaded file you are trying to run? | 15:24 |
| tdn | coz_, I can hear other music I play. | 15:24 |
| hiromi | Kruptein, fun ... I wish that sort of randomness was turned on by default | 15:24 |
| Kruptein | cyybborg: like iceroot told | 15:24 |
| Kruptein | hiromi: it would make life more awesome :D | 15:24 |
| Kruptein | I would think I'm in minecraft =) | 15:24 |
| hiromi | Kruptein, definitely :) | 15:24 |
| coz_ | tdn, where did you get this video? | 15:24 |
| tdn | coz_, it is *audio*. A WMA file. | 15:25 |
| coz_ | tdn, ah ok and was it one you downloaded? | 15:25 |
| tdn | coz_, from an mp3 audiobook. | 15:25 |
| hiromi | Kruptein, in any case, remove your account from Empathy then; I have nothing more to offer | 15:25 |
| tdn | coz_, yes. | 15:25 |
| coz_ | tdn, do you have the link to that specific file? | 15:25 |
| tdn | coz_, unfortuneately not. | 15:25 |
| coz_ | tdn, how big of a file is it? | 15:25 |
| Kruptein | hiromi: I'm just going to remove it as I only need it some times and It is installed in some seconds thanks anyway :) | 15:26 |
| Geidrow | I mean plan to install from dvd | 15:26 |
| tdn | 21 megs | 15:26 |
| cyybborg | I did all that | 15:26 |
| coz_ | tdn, ok go to speedyshare.com ,, upload the file then give me the link so I can try it here | 15:26 |
| cyybborg | not sure if it worked, my ffox is still 3.6 | 15:26 |
| Kruptein | cyybborg: what did you do exactly | 15:26 |
| cyybborg | ubottu | 15:27 |
| cyybborg | ubottu's instructions | 15:27 |
| coz_ | !ff4 | 15:27 |
| ubottu | Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. To install it, use the PPA by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 15:27 |

| Elefant | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.38-natty/ as always | 15:29 |
| coz_ | tdn, the other option might be to cd to that files location...make sure you have ffmpeg installed then ffmpeg -i nameof.wma nameof.mp3 or nameof.wav | 15:29 |

| cyybborg | that worked | 15:30 |
| tamps | the default is gnome-bluetooth | 15:30 |
| tamps | I think I will uninstall it | 15:30 |
| cyybborg | i know i'm an idiot when it comes to doing things w/ ubuntu | 15:30 |
| ruan | gnome-bluetooth? isnt it bluetooth and bluman? | 15:31 |
| cyybborg | im just not a programmer type so it is difficult to understand how this stuff works | 15:31 |
| MrBushid1 | is it possible to set up iptables by hostnames or is purely ip related? | 15:31 |
| ruan | blueman* | 15:31 |
| Kruptein | cyybborg: it is not that difficult actually :) you get used to it very quickly I advise you to do some reading about packages | 15:31 |

| izinucs | my desktop is going through the chkdisk process on boot.. it seems to be stuck at 66%. Did the same yesterday and I cancelled the process which is why it's attempting again today. If I cancel again is there a log to find out what was going on? | 15:43 |
| Sonne | izinucs, have you tried booting without splash? | 15:44 |
| izinucs | Sonne: no.. would that make a difference with chkdsk? | 15:45 |

| Sonne | ah, i just reread | 15:47 |

| Sonne | try pressing tab or esc, can't remember | 15:47 |

| kerneloops_ | jwmto: maybe you need to add a model to audio config | 15:54 |
| kerneloops_ | jwmto: check this http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt | 15:54 |
| StepNjump | kerneloops, how do I get the help menu of ubottu? | 15:54 |
| jwmto | kerneloops thank you I'll take a look | 15:54 |
| ruan | StepNjump: /msg ubottu | 15:54 |
| StepNjump | and then? | 15:54 |
| ruan | StepNjump: to search, check !factoid | 15:54 |
| jwmto | Kerneloops_ this is beyond me, do you have time to handhold a little? | 15:55 |
| kerneloops_ | jwmto: search the imac model audio issue in ubuntu forums I bet you'll find the solution | 15:55 |

| EvilPhoenix | sl33k: you'd probly be better off asking on the forums or somewhere | 16:29 |
| ikonia | EvilPhoenix: he's fine asking here | 16:30 |
| sipior | brophat: generally, drivers are built along with the kernel they augment. there is no 64-bit specific list of open source drivers, to my knowledge. the problem only comes up should you attempt to load a binary kernel module provided by a vendor. | 16:30 |
| sl33k | ikonia, EvilPhoenix: but i have asked help here many a times | 16:30 |
| ikonia | EvilPhoenix: wubi is supported here | 16:30 |

| dagni | with ubuntu 10.10 i installed some more packages and i rebooted it | 16:57 |
| sipior | dagni: do you have a question, or were you planning on rambling without end? | 16:57 |
| dagni | and since the reboot my laptop freeze few minutes after booting | 16:57 |
| dagni | noone here was able to help me | 16:57 |
| roffe | is it possible to install several distros on one usb | 16:57 |
| dagni | so the only help i gave to myself was jump to debian | 16:58 |
| sl33k | ruan: it was successful | 16:58 |
| dagni | now i understand why there is this gold thing "there ise ubuntu and there is linux." ;-) | 16:58 |
| genii-around | roffe: If you install to it like a hard drive and put grub or other bootloader, yes | 16:58 |
| ruan | sl33k: you could try mounting the rest to /mnt/windows but if it doesnt work, then sudo mkdir /mnt/windows1 etc | 16:58 |
| dagni | sipior: my question wont be answered by you, because you don't know why my ubuntu was freezing ? | 16:59 |
| sipior | dagni: life is hard sometimes. | 16:59 |
| dagni | sipior: life is easy, choices are bad sometimes | 16:59 |
| dagni | you know. | 16:59 |
| sipior | dagni: my lack of psychic ability prevents me from answering your question. | 16:59 |
| ikonia | dagni: if your machine is freezing the most common issue is hardware related | 16:59 |
| sl33k | ruan: but what order to consider for sda1, sda2 like? | 16:59 |
| roffe | genii-around, ok, but I was more thinking of having several distros to select from that run live | 16:59 |
| sl33k | or random works? | 16:59 |
| dagni | ikonia: problem is, when i installed ubuntu 10.10 it worked good | 17:00 |
| ruan | sl33k: random works | 17:00 |
| dagni | until i installed some more packages and it's dependencies | 17:00 |
| dagni | it _shouldn't_ happen on _STABLE_ release | 17:00 |
| dagni | right ? | 17:00 |
| kerneloops_ | rsync fast remote file copy program daemon Is this needed? | 17:00 |
| ikonia | dagni: that doesn't mean it's not developed a hardware problem, nor does it mean you've not installed software that is causing your hardware to lock, remove the packages you're installed | 17:00 |
| ruan | !info rsync | 17:00 |
| ubottu | rsync (source: rsync): fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard. Version 3.0.7-2ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 333 kB, installed size 684 kB | 17:00 |
| sl33k | ruan: is there a command to let me know my partitions have mounted correctly? | 17:01 |
| kerneloops_ | ruan: already did that. | 17:01 |
| kerneloops_ | :P | 17:01 |
| dagni | ikonia: what happens when software i install have about 74 dependencies? how i am able to track which dependencie broke my system ? | 17:01 |
| ruan | i dont comprehend 'standard' though. what does that mean | 17:01 |
| dagni | isn't stable release supposed to be _STABLE_ ? | 17:01 |
| ikonia | dagni: no, you're supposed to know how to use it | 17:01 |
| ikonia | dagni: what software did you install ? | 17:01 |
| dagni | ikonia: i installed hedgewars | 17:02 |
| genii-around | roffe: Because the usual way that kind of usb install is made is by converting the iso file and chainloading in isolinux is not an easy task, you'd be better off to just install onto the usb like a hard drive instead | 17:02 |
| ikonia | dagni: where did you install it from ? | 17:02 |
| dagni | and some kernel headers | 17:02 |
| dagni | i'm kernel developer | 17:02 |
| dagni | and i found ubuntu to be unstable for that ;( | 17:02 |
| ikonia | dagni: get real | 17:02 |
| prower | dagni: i find that extremely difficultto believe | 17:02 |
| ikonia | dagni: then don't use it, bye | 17:02 |
| dagni | ikonia: as i said, i'm using debian now | 17:02 |
| dagni | prower: because ? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | dagni: then there is nothing more to discuss, | 17:02 |
| prower | dagni: because someone developing on the kernel would have enough sense to be able to resolve broken package dependencies? | 17:03 |
| ruan | sl33k: there may be something to list mounted partitions | 17:03 |
| ikonia | prower: let it go, | 17:03 |
| sl33k | ruan: it says you must specify file system type? | 17:03 |
| dagni | prower: guess who removed Big Kernel Lock from kernel ;) | 17:03 |
| roffe | genii-around, ok, that explains why I've never seen the option. Thanks, your alternative is certainly better than no alternative! | 17:03 |
| dagni | <- | 17:03 |

| escoria1 | What do you understand? | 17:06 |
| dagni | kerneloops_: then why you didn't said that | 17:06 |
| ikonia | dagni: you need grub to be able to boot, and ruan was helping him, he's not offtopic, good bye | 17:06 |
| kerneloops_ | lol | 17:06 |
| dmart | -devel | 17:07 |
| escoria1 | About the weight and the 50% | 17:07 |
| kerneloops_ | im thinking of disable rsync speech-dispatcher | 17:07 |

| ikonia | escoria1: what langage do you need to translate from ? | 17:09 |
| sl33k | ruan: do i ask on ubuntu-offtopic? | 17:09 |
| escoria1 | I'm just not used to the way you express the percentage. | 17:09 |
| ikonia | escoria1: what langage do you need to translate from ? | 17:09 |
| escoria1 | ikonia, it's not about that but just understanding what it's referred to. | 17:09 |
| ikonia | escoria1: ok, then try the channel ##english | 17:10 |

| guampa | i'm helping a remote user with a newly usb-3g modem, she's using ubuntu jaunty. I see she hasn't got instaled usb_modeswitch, but i recall there was a fully udev based method (before usb_modeswitch was mainlined) to switch modems, is that right? | 17:21 |

| pearsonl | just wondering if the most up to date ubuntu kernel was safe..? | 17:21 |
| guampa | i'd need to know if it's possible | 17:21 |
| ruan | linux kernel you mean | 17:22 |
| pearsonl | yes linux kernel that ubuntu uses | 17:22 |
| pearsonl | sorry | 17:22 |
| bfri | does anyone here know how to send text messages from your email to a cell phone? | 17:22 |
| IdleOne | pearsonl: as safe as it can be until the next update | 17:22 |
| oCean | pearsonl: yes it is safe, it is not the latest, bleeding edge version | 17:22 |
| teamcoltra | I am looking for a certain program, I had it yesterday but can't find it again, it apparently helps restore partitions that you screw up. All I remember is it has "fix" in the name and tha its GNU | 17:22 |

| naptastic | What do I have to add to my /etc/apt/mirror.list to make my local apt-mirror so I can *install* from it and not just *update*? | 17:48 |
| iceroot | naptastic: you install from /etc/apt/sources.list and you mirror other repos from /etc/apt/mirror.list | 17:49 |
| iceroot | naptastic: apt-mirrir is reading the mirror-file, apt-get is reading the sources.list | 17:50 |
| Gunni | http://xkcd.com/859/ *shivers* | 17:50 |
| naptastic | iceroot, right. My client is booting from PXE into the Ubuntu installer, which works, but if I tell it to install from my local repository, it says the necessary files aren't there. | 17:50 |
| blahsphemer | when would this be true: (geteuid() == 0 && getuid() != 0) | 17:51 |
| Neroon | Hi there | 17:51 |
| iceroot | naptastic: you have a Packages.gz there? | 17:51 |

| iceroot | blahsphemer: what is geteuid? | 17:52 |
| === overflow is now known as danuiz | ||

| iceroot | blahsphemer: what is a effective uid? | 17:52 |
| Neroon | Could anyone offer some help with a wlan prob? It keeps asking for the pwd (got the right one) and iwevent keeps telling not-associated | 17:53 |
| naptastic | iceroot, the local repo is a big place :-) where should it be relative to mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu? | 17:53 |
| sipior | blahsphemer: it would be true when a non-root user ran a set-uid root executable. | 17:53 |
| iceroot | naptastic: in the branche, e.g. maverick/i386 also "all" and "amd64" have there own Packages.gz | 17:53 |
| blahsphemer | iceroot, you could change the euid to something else but not your uid | 17:54 |
| naptastic | iceroot, yes, there are Packages.gz files there. | 17:54 |
| hoangnn | have any one from vietnam | 17:54 |
| iceroot | naptastic: and what is "apt-get update" telling? | 17:54 |
| blahsphemer | sipior, iceroot Thanks. | 17:55 |
| naptastic | iceroot, apt-get update and apt-get upgrade work fine on all my local clients. Installing fails. Lemme go get the exact error message... | 17:55 |
| iceroot | naptastic: if installing fails, sound like the Packages.gz is out of sync with the packages the repo contains | 17:56 |
| kerneloops_ | I have these services enabled http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7g6Ec6RR | 17:58 |
| kerneloops_ | is it good? | 17:58 |

| Engammalsko1 | Hi! | 18:01 |
| prower | i just enabled the firefox 4 ppa, everything upgraded fine :> except for flash, apparently, although i saw an update for flashplugin-installer it doesn't seem to have done anything after installation? | 18:01 |
| Engammalsko1 | Is there a way to make a marked part semi transparent in gimp? | 18:01 |
| kerneloops_ | prower: restart firefox. | 18:01 |

| prower | kerneloops_, ...Yes, that was the first thing I did actually :> not listed in about:plugins | 18:03 |

| kerneloops_ | it stores flash settings and flash cookies | 18:05 |
| kerneloops_ | it's evil | 18:05 |
| prower | kerneloops_, Ahh...I'll give that a try, didn't even realize it was there :> Sneaky | 18:05 |
| edbian | prower, try what he said. I have an idea if it doesn't work. | 18:06 |
| kerneloops_ | prower: I would make sure firefox was not running, delete .macromedia folder and reinstall flash | 18:06 |
| edbian | kerneloops_, What exactly is kept in .macromedia? | 18:06 |
| kerneloops_ | edbian: flash settings and flash cookies known as super cookies | 18:07 |
| kerneloops_ | an attack to privacy. | 18:07 |
| edbian | kerneloops_, Why would those things prohibit firefox4 from using flash? | 18:07 |

| kerneloops_ | edbian: nothing :) | 18:07 |

| philsf | hi, pidgin is not using notification-osd to display incoming messages. I don't think it's a pidgin configuration issue, because I share the ~/.purple dir with configs and logs with another computer, and notifications work there. How can I find out if the notification is running here? This is a Ubuntu 10.10 box | 19:38 |
| xangua | philsf: check you have pidgin-libnotify installed and enabled in pidgin plugins section | 19:39 |
| MnCC | ActionParsnip: i found the problem =) | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Philsf: ensure the notify plugin is enabled. Just to double check. Could even disable then re-enable it | 19:40 |
| philsf | xangua, it is, I didn't change any config, and the same config works in another box. I just tried "notify send <string>" and it also doesn't produce a notification | 19:40 |
| philsf | it seems to be something with libnotify itself, but not sure where exactly. How can I find out if the daemon is running? Logging out didn't fix it | 19:41 |

| milind | jjp yes that worked | 19:52 |
| milind | but why cant i scp to anywhere else? | 19:52 |
| jjp_ | milind: because you lack authorization to write elsewhere | 19:52 |

| azertyu | thanks aeon-ltd | 20:48 |
| gori | In this<> way?? | 20:48 |
| unop | wild, ~/ is a shorthand for /home/ken .. your homedir | 20:48 |
| Pumpkin- | cha0s2358: you can do it, with something to mark traffic and tools like tc. I seem to even recall a "wondershaper" script you might be able to adapt to what you want. Can't handhold you through the entire thing though. | 20:48 |
| unop | wild, so basically, you had /home/ken/home/ken/aptana :) which i don't think exists | 20:49 |
| wild | unop I saw how the ~/ that is nice. without sudo it did not work either | 20:49 |
| ThinkT510 | anshrpr: well, your problem is ubuntu specific as far as i can tell, so you are already in the right place | 20:49 |

| s3r3n1t7 | faceface, then it makes sense. It tries to write more then the drive can handle. Just partition it. | 21:00 |
| amh345 | unop: recipient is a uid imported from a .asc file | 21:00 |
| faceface | evon, s3r3n1t7: I don't follow | 21:00 |
| Pumpkin- | gori: "dhclient", usually managed by networkmanager , is responsible for your dhcp lease. Most dhcp servers though will try and keep giving you the same address though. I'm not sure why you constantly want a different address though ? | 21:00 |
| amh345 | gpg -k shows the uid i need | 21:01 |
| s3r3n1t7 | faceface, you're trying to write an infinite amount of null bytes to a drive which has a limit. | 21:01 |
| unop | amh345, i guess, gpg can also figure that out from the email address i think | 21:01 |
| faceface | s3r3n1t7: dd runs fine | 21:01 |
| gori | b/c i have to do something | 21:01 |
| faceface | when I try parted it fails | 21:01 |
| s3r3n1t7 | faceface, unplug and replug, then partition? | 21:01 |

| wild | thedangler I am following this (tring) Is this necessary? http://www.ygamretuta.com/2010/12/install-aptana-3-in-ubuntu-10-10/ | 21:32 |
| alabd | iceroot: is it GUI ? | 21:32 |
| iceroot | alabd: but i guess you want something like "kompozer" | 21:32 |
| iceroot | alabd: no vim is cli | 21:33 |
| alabd | thanks | 21:33 |
| wild | thedangler I have moved the folder to opt but the steps like chown and chmod and beyond are a loss for me | 21:34 |
| guntbert | iceroot: but there is gvim too :-) | 21:34 |
| thedangler | wild all i did was goto aptana site and download the ubuntu version. ran the install script. told me i was missing the jre6 so i downloaded that in the package manager and it worked fine | 21:34 |
| iceroot | guntbert: using a gui for vim is using like emacs (totally useless) | 21:35 |
| guntbert | iceroot: :) | 21:35 |

| neves | hi! I want to write a script which modify a line in a file. I think i could use vim and the command : " s%/old/new/g " but i don't know how can I make it in bash | 21:38 |
| iceroot | neves: sed | 21:38 |
| oCean | neves: you can use 'sed' for such substitutions | 21:38 |
| guntbert | neves: did you want to ask in #bash? | 21:39 |
| iceroot | neves: sed -i filename 's/old/new' | 21:39 |
| neves | guntbert : yes, i did but no answer | 21:40 |
| neves | iceroot: i gonna try | 21:40 |
| oCean | neves: be careful with the -i option | 21:40 |
| guntbert | neves: no problem :) | 21:40 |
| iceroot | neves: sed -i 's/old/new/' filename this is the correct syntax | 21:40 |
| iceroot | neves: or use sed 's/old/new' filename > filename2 | 21:40 |

| rocklee | does anyone know of a windows anti-virus program that will run from a linux distro like ubuntu? | 22:01 |
| skomorokh | heya. trying to let another user dj for me via a separate login, but i can't see how both users can keep the sound card? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/433654 tells me that the standard behaviour is to let only the active user play sound and you have the option of putting the user in the audio group at which point they lock the sound to just them. | 22:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 433654 in gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) "Only one user gets sound with privilege "Use audio devices"" [Medium,Triaged] | 22:02 |
| W43372 | I'm having an issue with remote desktop viewer in 10.10. Everytime I try to connect to my desktop machine all i can see is a blank srreen and I can't do anything. It was working just fine a few weeks ago | 22:02 |
| iceroot | rocklee: clamav | 22:02 |
| [TK]D-Fender | rockIf you're open to various different products, then why would it have to be a WINDOWS app running on a LINUX server? | 22:02 |
| skomorokh | since i can play sound from multiple apps at once, something is clearly mixing it for me so why is it so obscure to have it mixing the output of multiple users? | 22:02 |
| [TK]D-Fender | rocklee: Ditto on ClamAV | 22:02 |
| skomorokh | sure it's not so rare to have people in the same room wanting to share the same good set of speakers? | 22:02 |
| rocklee | D-Fender: It needs to be booted through a linux distro boot phase then the windows drive is scanned from the linux distro | 22:03 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skomorokh, the problem isn't mixing audio streams from multiple apps, but mixing audio streams from multiple apps run by multiple users. And actually, yes that scenario is quite rare, since there are only a handful of speakers which allow multiple inputs. | 22:03 |
| rocklee | D-Fender: It's useful in cases where an entire system compromise is presented | 22:03 |
| gori | what is difference b/w ssh and vng? | 22:04 |
| [TK]D-Fender | rocklee: then use a Linux distro running ClamAV scan it | 22:04 |
| iceroot | gori: you mean vnc? | 22:04 |
| rocklee | D-Fender: thanks I will try that | 22:04 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: yes, multiple apps by multiple users ... on the same machine. the speakers only need one input since they're plugged in at the same place. | 22:04 |
| [TK]D-Fender | rocklee: You won't be running a Windows AV app. You'll be scanning a Windows OS drive with a Linux-based AV. | 22:04 |
| gori | yes vnc | 22:04 |
| iceroot | gori: ssh is to connect to a unix/linux machine on the shell, vnc is to connect to a running desktop on a windows/mac/linux machine. vnc is bringing you the picture to your pc, ssh is bringing the shell from the system to your pc | 22:05 |
| [TK]D-Fender | gori: SSH = text mode shell. VNC = RDP-like graphical screen & mouse, etc | 22:05 |

| s3r3n1t7 | skomorokh, you're describing a multi seat environment, which should have a separate set of all input and output devices per user. | 22:06 |
| W43372 | I'm having an issue with remote desktop viewer. Every time I try to VNC my desktop computer I get a black screen and no remote control over the desktop | 22:06 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: why? we're in the same room. why should i buy two sets of high end studio monitors and power amps when we can hear this one very well thank you? | 22:06 |
| gori | how can i see and send private message here? | 22:06 |
| rebirth | what is the command to disable the wifi radio? | 22:07 |
| iceroot | gori: /msg nickname text | 22:07 |
| W43372 | rebirth go into the settngs for your router and disable the 'broadcast SSID' option | 22:07 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skomorokh, then i don't see the problem? As long as you don't use the speakers, the other person can do as he pleases. But no, you cannot mix sounds from multiple users. | 22:07 |
| gori | iceroot:/like this? | 22:08 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: why can't you? and it seems like you have to log out to get the sound to switch back? | 22:08 |
| iceroot | gori: no | 22:08 |

| UbuntuByte | is it possible to somehow set ubuntu that when i turn on my computer from sleep it automatically connects to wifi? | 22:10 |
| W43372 | UbuntuByte mine does it automatically | 22:11 |
| UbuntuByte | rather than me clicking on the wifi symbol each time and choosing my network | 22:11 |
| UbuntuByte | really? | 22:11 |
| UbuntuByte | not sure why mine doesnt... | 22:11 |
| gori | hello | 22:11 |
| W43372 | UbuntuByte neither am I. Have you tried fiddling with your settings? | 22:11 |
| gori | still not done w4332 | 22:12 |
| UbuntuByte | havent tried it yet | 22:12 |
| UbuntuByte | ill try it right now | 22:12 |
| W43372 | gori: Do what? | 22:12 |
| gori | whisper | 22:12 |
| W43372 | UbuntuByte I think if you tell it to automatically connect to the signal it should do it on it's own when it wakes up | 22:13 |
| rebirth | ok i found the command, now i just need to know how to run a command at shut down time automatically | 22:13 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skomorokh, the scenario you're describing is just to rare. The only way you can get it done is if you can convince pulseaudio to accept multiple audio streams and send those to your speakers. How? Google can tell. | 22:13 |
| matux | bonsoir | 22:13 |
| W43372 | mine connects to my home router every time I turn the machine on | 22:13 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: easy sharing and managing of sound is important whenever there are multiple people in the same place. pulse is client/server. laptop users in a shared environment with a good stereo could connect to a plug computer with a pulse daemon that's hooked in to the system and easily switch control of the sound to whoever wants it (and has been granted access). without the switching infrastructure it'd be fine in the interim just to let everyone out | 22:13 |
| UbuntuByte | does it usually take a while to connect automatcially? | 22:13 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: google cannot tell, at least not with me using it, that's what i've come seeking help from wiser people | 22:14 |
| === derp is now known as PepeLePew | ||
| W43372 | UbuntuByte: It takes a few seconds for me, yeah | 22:14 |
| UbuntuByte | ok let me try fiddling with the settings | 22:14 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skomorokh, then you have already found your solution then, using pulse daemon and clients that hook into it. | 22:15 |
| maxillusionist | i am with skomorokh | 22:15 |
| W43372 | So, remote desktop viewer? Help? | 22:15 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: i think that's how it's set up in ubuntu, each user has their own. but some funky stuff makes it so only one can use it at a time | 22:15 |
| maxillusionist | google can't be the oracle all the time | 22:15 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: so i need to understand what the funky stuff is and how to set it up | 22:15 |
| maxillusionist | me too | 22:16 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: and i'm pretty savvy but i'm no sysadmin and ubuntu is very complicated place :) | 22:16 |
| maxillusionist | wanna know | 22:16 |
| maxillusionist | not really | 22:16 |

| ubottu | maxillusionist: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:16 |
| UbuntuByte | i got it! | 22:16 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skomorokh, yes, only 1 pulse daemon can actively use the sound card. The solution will be to make sure that the person who is always logged in runs the daemon, and the rest hooks in to that pulse daemon. | 22:16 |
| maxillusionist | what?? | 22:16 |
| W43372 | UbuntuByte werd up! | 22:16 |
| UbuntuByte | I went into network settings, and from there went into wirless connections. and found a little check mark to select auto connect! | 22:17 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: but i thought pulse isn't supposed to be used that way? it has a whole bunch of warnings on their site? | 22:17 |
| UbuntuByte | I had it unchecked before | 22:17 |
| maxillusionist | i was supporting skomorokh | 22:17 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skomorokh, well yeah ... that may be, but i dpm | 22:17 |
| maxillusionist | just that | 22:17 |
| rebirth | how do i make a command run automatically at time of shutdown? | 22:17 |
| === Logan_ is now known as Chris_Brown | ||
| UbuntuByte | thanks W43372! | 22:17 |
| s3r3n1t7 | but i don't really see another solution in your case. | 22:17 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: isn't there some way to use alsa dmix so multiple pulses can pulse at once? | 22:17 |
| s3r3n1t7 | maxillusionist, you're not providing any additional info and you're making it even harder to follow the conversations in here. | 22:18 |
| W43372 | hmmm, maybe I could remove the need for the remote desktop viewer with a webcam and some remote controlled lego hands, or a realy long stick... | 22:18 |
| maxillusionist | well you need some then ok | 22:18 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: dpm? | 22:18 |
| maxillusionist | w43372 i have used a shell script to do such things long ago | 22:19 |
| maxillusionist | i can also configure routers with shell scripts | 22:19 |
| maxillusionist | sometimes i use perl as well | 22:19 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skomorokh, dpm? | 22:20 |
| maxillusionist | dpm?? | 22:20 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: "skomorokh, well yeah ... that may be, but i dpm" | 22:20 |
| s3r3n1t7 | maxillusionist, please stop that. | 22:20 |
| W43372 | maxillusionist: every time I try to connect with RDV to my desktop I get a black screen and no remote control. it doesn't even ask me for a password | 22:20 |
| maxillusionist | rpm i guess | 22:20 |
| s3r3n1t7 | skomorokh, typo, i tried to hit backspace and hit enter by accident. | 22:20 |

| JoseeAntonioR | Hello! Does anyone knows why I cannot track my Ubuntu CD order? | 22:22 |
| skomorokh | s3r3n1t7: anyhow, thanks a lot for trying to understand, i think i see now that it's fundamentally a pulse thing and not just how it's set up in ubuntu. however, do you know what the mechanism is by which it switches control of the device when new users log in to become the "active" console? perhaps I can use that to switch the device intentionally to whichever user wants to run the audio at the time without people needing to log out and back in again | 22:23 |
| maxillusionist | well it is daemon process actually ,and it is same as apache but for a different purpose and it waits for the client | 22:25 |
| maxillusionist | skomorokh | 22:25 |
| maxillusionist | got it | 22:25 |
| skomorokh | maybe jack will help. i'm already using the bizarre yet very very common setup of phonon -> pulse -> alsa, maybe i just need to switch to phonon -> pulse -> jack -> alsa :) | 22:25 |
| === Byan_ is now known as Byan | ||
| maxillusionist | the basic mechanism is to use a script of your own and take manual control skomorokh | 22:26 |
| pcpower | or forget phonon and just use gstreamer directly | 22:26 |
| skomorokh | pcpower: there's gstreamer in there? | 22:26 |
| W43372 | I'm having an issue with remote desktop viewer. Every time I try to VNC my desktop computer I get a black screen and no remote control over the desktop | 22:26 |
| skomorokh | maxillusionist: it's not a daemon though, pulse says not to use it that way as it breaks things | 22:26 |
| PleXs | any network expert in the room? Dell Powerconnect Managed Switch or HP Procurve Managed switch? :) | 22:26 |
| pcpower | skomorokh: one of phonon's backends is gstreamer, but I find phonon woefully limited/buggy compared to just using gstreamer | 22:27 |
| pcpower | PleXs: Cisco/Juniper here, can I help? | 22:27 |
| skomorokh | maxillusionist: a script to take control of it at will is exactly what i'm trying to figure out. i think we just need to find how ubuntu decide's who's copy of pulse can run and use that same mechanism? | 22:27 |
| PleXs | pcpower, need some descent managed switch for home.. not to expensive :) | 22:27 |
| pcpower | how much is too much? | 22:28 |
| PleXs | pcpower, juniper is the same as Cisco ? | 22:28 |

| PleXs | ow :) | 22:28 |

| e1ven_ | In top, I'm seeing a process called spooler taking up 100% CPU; Killing it respawns under a new PID. | 22:29 |
| PleXs | pcpower, I was looking at HP ProCurve 2910 but 48ports Gigabit but looks just a little bit to expensive :) | 22:29 |
| pcpower | skomorokh: what do you mean by switching applications? | 22:29 |
| itilious | is the best way for ubuntu to access Windows 7 Shares from internet through a VPN? | 22:29 |
| pcpower | PleXs: how many ports do you need and what kind? | 22:30 |

| osxfr33k | I had a problem with addtional Prop Graphics driver for my Nvdia which gave me a black screen and tried to change inittab so I could boot into terminal mode and fix a few things | 22:41 |
| m__ | allchan msg everton are you online | 22:41 |
| osxfr33k | It seems that there is no inittab in ubuntu then correct? | 22:41 |
| Mackre2 | Hello | 22:41 |
| bazhang | osxfr33k, then get into recovery mode by holding shift at boot | 22:41 |
| Mackre2 | I have a question | 22:41 |
| Mackre2 | it there a Ubuntu fork with MeeGo UI? Thanks | 22:42 |
| osxfr33k | ah and boot a revocery kernel then? | 22:42 |
| bazhang | Mackre2, no there is not. | 22:42 |
| bazhang | osxfr33k, it boots without the prop drivers so you can fix things | 22:42 |
| Mackre2 | bazhang ah ok thanks! | 22:43 |
| osxfr33k | great thanks bazhang I am use to using fedora and the abiltity to mody files as such so inittab does not exist in ubuntu I have to assume? | 22:43 |
| skomorokh | pcpower: sorry, am distractable. i meant how i can see a list of running applications currently outputting sound and select which soundcard the sound should go to via a drop down in pavucontrol. | 22:43 |
| bazhang | m__, best to just ask here, he's not online now | 22:43 |
| bazhang | osxfr33k, done a bit differently in ubuntu, if you are referring to fixing proprietary driver issues. safe mode/ recovery mode should do it | 22:44 |
| osxfr33k | bazhang I was finally abler to fix the black screen issue with my graphics card and get acceleration by modifying the xorg.conf file with these two lines of script and I cannot understand why this is not included in the new Prop Driver? | 22:45 |
| pcpower | skomorokh: I don't think you would do that with gstreamer | 22:45 |
| osxfr33k | Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-0" <<< that one fixed my black screen and this one >>> Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" gave me the 3d acceration | 22:46 |
| skomorokh | pcpower: and i think if i swap gstreamer in under pulse i'm going to still have the same issue with pulse | 22:46 |
| osxfr33k | I can't understand why these fixes are not part of the driver install? | 22:46 |
| osxfr33k | I found these by searching the web and finally coming up with the fix for the Geofroce4Go 440 card | 22:47 |

| === nickals is now known as GT-slackin | ||
| red2kic | wild: See #virtualbox -- From what I see, I think you use vboxmanage clonehd command. However, I never did it myself and would favor that you seek someone in that channel for proper support. :) | 23:15 |
| wild | OK, this is not something you can do within ubuntu then I guess. | 23:16 |
| th0r | wild: just copy the .vdi file to the backup location. | 23:16 |
| iceroot | wild: virtualbox has a special option to make backups of a vm + config. its was something with "appliance" in the name and can be found in the main-menue | 23:16 |
| iceroot | wild: look there for "export" and "import" | 23:16 |
| red2kic | th0r: That seems to be wrong answer from what I'm reading on the Internet. | 23:17 |

| s3r3n1t7 | red2kic, you can safely copy a file to back it up. however, to clone it is a whole different story. | 23:17 |
| th0r | red2kic: there are sites that make .vdi files available so you don't have to install the os yourself. I have used them, and they seem to work fine | 23:17 |

| Stavros | has anyone installed ubuntu on a macbook without an OS? | 23:25 |

| nicholas_ | I want to have Wine shortcut in my menu | 23:25 |
| Stavros | without OS X | 23:25 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sl33k_, do you have a real support question? I have seen you here quite a bit, but never with a real question. | 23:25 |
| pcpower | Stavros: I think you need refit installed to be able to boot, but it should install normally from a CD | 23:25 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nicholas_, it should be there after installing wine. Did you install wine? | 23:25 |
| pcpower | other than the boot issue | 23:25 |
| nicholas_ | Yes | 23:25 |
| nicholas_ | Wine is there | 23:25 |
| Stavros | pcpower: can i install it on the ubuntu partition? | 23:25 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nicholas_, and which instructions did you follow for that? | 23:26 |
| pcpower | Stavros: it must be installed under OSX I think | 23:26 |
| Stavros | hmm | 23:26 |
| Karen_m | It's so weird!! When I open mumble on ubuntu, i get weird static/noise coming from the speakers... When I run mumble on windows, same hardware/setup.. just in win7, no issues. Why is this???? | 23:26 |
| pcpower | but after that you can remove OSX | 23:26 |
| Stavros | pcpower: i don't think so, if you remove osx you remove refit | 23:26 |
| pcpower | how so? | 23:26 |

| pcpower | see the bottom | 23:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nicholas_, ok. Can you go to applications -> Accessoires -> terminal, then run the command --> winecfg | 23:28 |
| sl33k_ | s3r3n1t7: what is that "none" shown here? | 23:28 |
| Stavros | pcpower: oh, i see, thank you | 23:28 |
| s3r3n1t7 | sl33k_, by clicking on the partition in the places menu you have mounted your drive. | 23:28 |

| Stavros | hardware problems, i mean | 23:29 |
| s3r3n1t7 | mtbear, on the menu you get when you insert the DVD, can you select Verify media? | 23:29 |
| nicholas_ | Done it opened Wine config | 23:29 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nicholas_, good, now you can close the screen. Once you have used wine to install software, it will also create a shortcut to wine and the software in the applications menu. | 23:30 |
| norstrom | Where is the best place to install binaries so that they are available to all users (assuming proper permissions)? /bin? /usr/bin? /usr/share? Is there a guide to what, where and why? | 23:30 |
| nicholas_ | I dont understand | 23:30 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nicholas_, wine is used to run windows programs. In itself it is useless. | 23:31 |
| s3r3n1t7 | norstrom, /usr/bin in my opinion, it's a user binary. | 23:31 |
| nicholas_ | I understand that | 23:31 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nicholas_, it will create shortcuts to the proper folders once you have installed software with it. | 23:31 |
| nicholas_ | So when I use wine 4 a program, it will show up | 23:31 |

| chuck_ | hi guys just a quick question, i installed lubuntu onto a old laptop and everything is running fine, but one thing is i cant find anything anywhere to disable putting the laptop to sleep | 23:37 |
| wietze | upgrdman: interesting question, I dont know really | 23:37 |
| s3r3n1t7 | upgrdman, sounds as a multi seat environment, which regrettably is not really possible. There's a number of problems, such as how do you switch between the first and second monitor, how would X (or TTY) know which monitor is which, etc. | 23:37 |
| chuck_ | ps im quite new to linux, | 23:37 |
| s3r3n1t7 | upgrdman, well multi seat is certainly doable, but not with a single keyboard/mouse. | 23:37 |
| wietze | isnt it possible to have different Xservers running on different displays? | 23:37 |
| wietze | and bind crtl-alt-something to it? | 23:37 |
| s3r3n1t7 | wietze, it is, but how do you switch becomes the main problem. | 23:37 |
| nicholas_ | s3 question | 23:38 |
| wietze | s3r3n1t7: I see | 23:38 |
| nicholas_ | I installed firefox for windows and it worked | 23:38 |
| upgrdman | s3r3n1t7, well one of the heads will only be for mythtv, which i can control with an ir remote. don't suppose that would be doable? | 23:38 |
| nicholas_ | but how do I opne it from the menu ? | 23:38 |
| syn-ack | upgrdman, it's completely doable and it's not really that hard to do | 23:38 |
| greg__ | Im new to Linux, I seem to have locked myself out of my home folder. How can i change ownership back to me.? | 23:39 |
| upgrdman | cool. any pointers on what i need to research to figure out how? | 23:39 |
| s3r3n1t7 | upgrdman, then i'd recommend you look at a way to setup for multi seat environment. That should accomplish it. | 23:39 |

| nicholas_ | s3r3n1t7 ? | 23:43 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nicholas_, why would you install firefox for windows, whereas there is the same firefox for ubuntu? Also, if you ran the installer it will have left a shortcut. | 23:44 |

| nicholas_ | that will remove the windows Firefox ? | 23:49 |
| tensorpudding | nicholas_: if it didn't come with one you can delete your ~/.wine folder, but that erases all your windows applications installed through wine | 23:49 |
| s3r3n1t7 | nicholas_, run the wine uninstaller from the applications menu. Follow tensorpudding his instructions, do not try to uninstall it via apt. | 23:49 |
| tensorpudding | when you installed firefox an uninstaller was probably placed in the directory that firefox was installed in | 23:50 |
| tensorpudding | you'd have to find it though, which might be tough | 23:50 |
| nicholas_ | There is NO uninstaller | 23:50 |
