| gordonjcp | jackd is totally broken in 10.04 | 00:00 |
| gordonjcp | why is it trying to pull in Qt4? | 00:00 |
| royale1223 | Achylles_: when i sudo it, it says "wrong instance" | 00:00 |
| gordonjcp | oh, this is ridiculous, that's the most retarded thing I've ever seen | 00:01 |
| gordonjcp | jackd depends on qjackctl | 00:01 |
| ruggero | royale1234, my fstab is simple, just the usual cdrom and floppy mounts, plus the swap and ext4 HD mount | 00:01 |
| SarcasMo2 | Where can i find the downloads from Ubuntu software center? | 00:01 |
| NewWorld | SarcasMo2: There are plenty of public mirrors | 00:01 |
| royale1223 | what partition do you have as home ruggero ? | 00:01 |
| raido_ | alex86: also see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=520835 | 00:02 |
| zvacet | SarcasMo2: everything you downloaded with ubuntu software center,synaptic,apt-get is in /var/cache/apt/archives | 00:02 |
| alex86 | raido_ thnx | 00:02 |
| ruggero | royale1223, I have nothing referring to my home in fstab. I moved my home using command line. | 00:02 |
| zvacet | SarcasMo2: select faster or closer mirror to you | 00:03 |
| Achylles_ | royale1223, do you have a command called service? | 00:03 |
| ruggero | royale1223, copied files from old home using cp -a | 00:03 |
| WeThePeople | is BS-Player available for linux | 00:03 |
| royale1223 | Achylles_: command called service? whats that? i dont think so. | 00:03 |
| SarcasMo2 | zvacet: thx | 00:03 |
| zvacet | SarcasMo2:np | 00:04 |
| ruggero | royale1223, this is my fstab HD mount: UUID=0cc68ffb-0d2f-491a-90f3-71bf1b58dbc6 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 00:04 |
| royale1223 | ruggero: okay | 00:04 |
| Achylles_ | royale1223, because if you have you can just do: sudo service gdm restart | 00:04 |
| royale1223 | Achylles_: restart: Unknown instance: | 00:05 |
| Asad | NewWorld: Yes. But I don't really know what kind of a command is used to toggle display in ubuntu .. that was my main question | 00:05 |
| SarcasMo2 | is there a faster way to switch desktops? (keyboard combo) | 00:05 |
| royale1223 | ruggero: give me output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 00:06 |
| XuMuK | royale1223: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 00:06 |
| ruggero | royale1223, now logging in seems to work as usual and almost all functions are OK with the new home folder. However, some settings configurations were not OK, I checked and my new home folder is completely owned by root:root, not me. I tried all methods to restore it back, but did not work | 00:06 |
| ruggero | royale1223, ok just a sec | 00:06 |
| NewWorld | Asad: try 'xset dpms force off' | 00:06 |
| === tschundeee_ is now known as tschundeee | ||
| NewWorld | SarcasMo2: Faster how? | 00:06 |
| Achylles_ | royale1223, so you have to hit ctrl + alt + backspace to restart the X Server > which means logout > login. | 00:07 |
| naomi__ | What program can I use thats like teamviewer? Where my friend (using windows) can connect to me and use my desktop? | 00:07 |

| royale1223 | ruggero: which one is your home part? | 00:11 |
| NewWorld | culb: She asked. Would it be better to ignore her? | 00:11 |
| gsfai | i am currently 100% confused | 00:11 |
| ruggero | royale1223, it is a folder inside /dev/sda11 | 00:11 |
| gsfai | How the hell can my system have no device file for the sound output and for the microphone input? | 00:12 |
| gordonjcp | gsfai: I'm coming to the conclusion that Ubuntu just doesn't do sound | 00:12 |
| gsfai | i mean it is starting to get annoying | 00:12 |
| royale1223 | ruggero: a folder inside sda11? which folder? | 00:12 |
| NewWorld | gsfai: You have no /dev/dsp | 00:12 |
| gordonjcp | gsfai: except for obnoxiously loud startup sounds that wake up the entire village | 00:12 |
| NewWorld | XD | 00:12 |
| naomi__ | Ermm, is Terminal Server Client the same as Teamviewer? Like I dont just want to screenshare, i want him to be able to do things on my laptop | 00:12 |
| gordonjcp | because of course there's no way to stop it blasting out its startup sound and if you forget that the PC is plugged into the mixer... | 00:13 |
| NewWorld | ruggero: sda11 is in /dev ... those are device files. You won't find folders in there | 00:13 |
| ruggero | royale1223, a folder with my name: /myname. There are other folders there. | 00:13 |
| NewWorld | gordonjcp: Worst time is when it does this during lectures xD | 00:13 |
| gsfai | cat: /dev/dsp: No such file or directory | 00:14 |
| NewWorld | gsfai: You are massively fucked xD | 00:14 |

| princej88 | Jordan_U: let me know what you think. | 00:15 |
| gsfai | i think im going in the process of 'HOW DO I PLAYED MUSIC' | 00:15 |
| NewWorld | gsfai: What is your sound daemon? | 00:15 |
| gsfai | NewWorld: lsmod? | 00:15 |
| ruggero | royale1223, this is my prompt. http://paste.ubuntu.com/587120/ | 00:15 |
| Achylles_ | naomi__, So you can use ssh depending on what you want to be done in your laptop | 00:16 |
| NewWorld | gsfai: PulseAudio, Alsa, JACK? | 00:16 |
| royale1223 | ruggero: do "ls -la" and pastebin | 00:16 |
| gsfai | i am afraid i have all of the 3 :d | 00:17 |
| Rehan | guys is it ok if i install without a swap partition? | 00:17 |
| ruggero | royale1223, yes I see a home folder in my root. | 00:17 |
| ruggero | royale1223, ok | 00:17 |
| naomi__ | he wants to get ubuntu. and he just wants to be able to connect to my laptop and just look around, yknow? i have no idea what program to get or where to install it. | 00:17 |
| NewWorld | gsfai: Maybe they are conflicting with each other :S why do you need them all? | 00:17 |
| gsfai | NewWorld: well i dont know, i just remember being able to work with all of them | 00:17 |
| NewWorld | Rehan: Yes, but kinda depends how much RAM you have | 00:17 |
| gsfai | its probably pulseaudio though | 00:18 |
| royale1223 | naomi__: have you installed ubuntu yet? | 00:18 |
| Pici | naomi__: I don't have a gui in front of me, but there is a remote desktop setting under your System menu. That will allow someone with VNC to connect to your computer. | 00:18 |
| ruggero | royale1223, ls -la from which folder? I paste from root now | 00:18 |
| Rehan | NewWorld: 6GB. Would that work? | 00:18 |
| naomi__ | Yeah royale. | 00:18 |
| Achylles_ | naomi__, ssh | 00:18 |
| NewWorld | Rehan: Yep more than enough. I have 2GB and no swap | 00:18 |
| royale1223 | ruggero: do it from /media/disk52/ruggero_home | 00:18 |
| naomi__ | K i'll try that | 00:18 |
| NewWorld | gsfai: What are you trying to play sound in and it's not working? | 00:19 |
| Rehan | NewWorld: ok great. The other question I have is when I choose the mount folder for the partition, what folder should I select? / or /home? | 00:19 |
| ruggero | http://paste.ubuntu.com/587121/ | 00:19 |
| royale1223 | naomi__: or just use ssh | 00:19 |
| ruggero | royale1223, http://paste.ubuntu.com/587121/ | 00:19 |
| NewWorld | Rehan: 'mount folder'? | 00:19 |
| ruggero | royale1223, do it again | 00:19 |
| gsfai | NewWorld: sound from tuxguitar, but the basic problem, is that i NEED a device file to record from! | 00:19 |
| zvacet | Rehan: are you installing ubuntu | 00:19 |
| Rehan | NewWorld: it asks for where the partition should be mounted or something similar when i create the partition to install ubuntu | 00:19 |
| NewWorld | royale1223: naomi__ : I think she wants a GUI something; she doesn't sound like she's up for setting up and using SSH | 00:19 |
| Rehan | zvacet: yeah | 00:20 |
| naomi__ | idk what ssh is lol. or how to connect the two.. like on teamviewer you just have an id and password you enter. | 00:20 |
| gsfai | arecord does fine, but where in heaven does it take its data from? | 00:20 |
| zvacet | Rehan: if you do you can make two partitions root / about 10 GB and home /home for resr of space | 00:20 |
| Achylles_ | NewWorld, ssh can open GUI as well | 00:20 |
| ruggero | royale1223, http://paste.ubuntu.com/587122/ | 00:20 |
| Rehan | zvacet: ok what do you recommend if i only have one partition? | 00:21 |
| alex86 | raido_: what i have done. I have installed IDE and interpreter of version 3.1 and not I can work in envirnment with python3. btw it lanches python3 from terminal in response to command python3 | 00:21 |
| zvacet | Rehan: having separate home is good when it comes to reinstall fresh install | 00:21 |
| zvacet | Rehan: you must have root and format it as ext4 | 00:21 |
| royale1223 | ruggero: do "cd /home && ls -la" | 00:21 |

| r34ct | i see | 00:23 |
| raido_ | alex86: you need to do that | 00:23 |
| pp7 | that was the question | 00:23 |
| r34ct | well, aren't i an idiot | 00:23 |
| zvacet | Rehan: it still can be primary,because you can have 4 partitions | 00:23 |
| alex86 | raido_: but why? | 00:23 |
| NewWorld | Rehan: It's best to install on Logical... or else you might have problems with MBR and boot flags and what not. These problems are fixable but just time-consuming to fix | 00:23 |
| pp7 | does anyone know why my gnome session will quit/crash (back to login gdm) whenever I use a QT app | 00:24 |

| royale1223 | ruggero: whoa.. you cant do that.. you need a empty partition for /home | 00:36 |
| alex86 | raido_, the problem is that in the dir there are my python3 files are python2.6 files as well. | 00:36 |
| ruggero | raido, everything seems to work well. Only some settings -for example audio volume control- and others are grayed and do not work. I googled around and discovered that these do not work if ownership is not yours. I discovered that all my home folder files are root:root and not myname:myname. So I used chown command to fix it, but it gives no error, but no change... | 00:37 |
| NewWorld | alex86: Why is that a problem? | 00:37 |
| raido_ | ruggero: and you are sure that the partition you moved your home to is a linux partition type? | 00:37 |
| NewWorld | ruggero: What are the permissions like? Like rwx? | 00:38 |
| ScarabDrowner | In 10.10, I have a keyboard layout indicator by the clock, and 5 different workspaces through Compiz. When I select one keyboard layout on one workspace, it changes back to the default keyboard layout when I switch to a different workspace. Also, my "hotkey" for switching layouts only works one-way. It'll switch to the second layout, but not back to the original. How do I fix these problems? | 00:38 |
| alex86 | NewWorld: i though that python3 is separate folder, so i can select append it to PYTHONPATH | 00:38 |
| mikehj316 | Okay, so I still have the same problem I did earlier today | 00:38 |
| mikehj316 | I am where I can begin to work on it | 00:38 |
| royale1223 | raido_: he actually copied files from /home/ruggero to s subfolder an ntfs partion. | 00:38 |
| NewWorld | alex86: That doesn't sound like a problem to me :S | 00:39 |
| mikehj316 | Can someone help me reconfigure Ubuntu 10.10 to read my windows files? | 00:39 |
| alex86 | NewWorld: actually i don`t get there i can find this PYTHONPATH? | 00:39 |
| azizLIGHTS | ffmpeg package doesnt come with mp3 encoding? | 00:39 |
| royale1223 | raido_: no wonder he is having permission problems. | 00:39 |
| mikehj316 | I am using them on the same computer, alongside windows | 00:39 |
| raido_ | royale1223: He need to have home in a linux partition if the permissions and ownerships are to work correctly, also he will need to usermod to change the path to his home dir | 00:40 |
| NewWorld | alex86: 'echo $PYTHONPATH' it doesn't show anything for me though that is a real variable | 00:40 |
| ruggero | raido,NewWorld,royale1223, http://paste.ubuntu.com/587130/ | 00:40 |
| ruggero | raido, sorry for Japanese characters | 00:40 |
| NewWorld | ScarabDrowner: You can use 'setxkbmap [gb,us,es, etc.]' to set the keyb layout | 00:40 |
| royale1223 | raido_: yeah. but he cant make linux partion, no space i think | 00:41 |
| raido_ | ruggero: that does not show the partition type, what is the partition type | 00:41 |
| mikehj316 | is anyone able to help me? | 00:41 |
| NewWorld | mikehj316: Have you installed that ntfs-3g? | 00:41 |
| alex86 | NewWorld: well to me as well | 00:41 |
| NewWorld | alex86: So what do you want? | 00:41 |
| mikehj316 | NewWorld: what is that? | 00:41 |
| ruggero | raido, it is a ntfs partition | 00:41 |
| NewWorld | ruggero: I meant in the /dev folder. Like this: 'ls -la /dev' | 00:41 |
| royale1223 | ruggero: you need to copy those files back. | 00:42 |
| alex86 | NewWorld: change python path so, i can work with python3 by default, not with python2.6 | 00:42 |
| NewWorld | mikehj316: It's a program you can run from your terminal to switch keyb layout | 00:42 |
| raido_ | ruggero: you need not to have home in a partition type other that linux, i.e. ext, xfs, jfs etc | 00:42 |
| mikehj316 | NewWorld: Where can I find it? | 00:42 |
| ScarabDrowner | NewWorld: the reason I set up a hotkey to switch layouts was so I didn't have to go and do setxkbmap every time I needed to switch back and forth | 00:42 |
| jdolan_ | that was awesome. | 00:43 |
| ruggero | raido, ok... so I have to redo all procedure. Strange that all else seems to work | 00:43 |
| jdolan_ | i have all of my email on an IMAP server arranged in folders. | 00:43 |
| jdolan_ | i just tried using evolution for the first time. | 00:43 |
| NewWorld | alex86: running 'python' should default to python3. To run the python2 interpreter there is a seperate bin called 'python2', do you have both? | 00:43 |
| NewWorld | mikehj316: You know the terminal? | 00:43 |
| jdolan_ | it took it upon itself to filter ALL OF MY EXISTING FOLDERS and moved half of my sorted messages into Junk. | 00:43 |
| jdolan_ | WHAT THE F | 00:43 |
| mikehj316 | NewWorld: yes | 00:43 |
| raido_ | ruggero: yes, the files will work but the linux kernel does not respect or understand the permission and ownership flags on other FS types | 00:43 |
| alex86 | NewWorld: yes. i have both, but python 2 is by default. | 00:44 |
| jdolan_ | what a complete pos Evolution is. wow. | 00:44 |
| raido_ | ruggero: sou you will have those issues | 00:44 |
| NewWorld | ScarabDrowner: You can assign a keyboard shortcut to a setxkbmap command. That's my solution for you lol :P more like workaround | 00:44 |
| jdolan_ | can not believe Ubuntu doesn't ship with Thunderbird as default. | 00:44 |
| alex86 | NewWorld: but i want to work only with python3 | 00:44 |
| NewWorld | ScarabDrowner: I can give you my script that cycles through keyboard layouts :) | 00:44 |
| ruggero | raido, I see... that's maybe why chown just ignore my commands | 00:44 |
| raido_ | ruggero: correct | 00:44 |
| NewWorld | alex86: So when you type 'python' in terminal, it goes into the 2.7 interpreter? | 00:45 |
| NewWorld | mikehj316: Search for NTFS in software centre, it could be there. Otherwise search for it in synaptic | 00:45 |
| alex86 | NewWorld: yeah, 2.6 | 00:45 |
| ScarabDrowner | NewWorld: is that the aliases to switch to qwerty if you type aeou and to dvorak if you type asdf? | 00:45 |
| ruggero | Ok, I will try again with another disk. Or format everything like royale1223 said. Thank to you all...! | 00:45 |
| ruggero | raido, royale1223, Ok, I will try again with another disk. Or format everything like royale1223 said. Thank to you all...! | 00:46 |
| NewWorld | alex86: What does it show when you do 'ls -al /usr/bin | grep python' ? | 00:46 |
| raido_ | alex86: if you didnt set your variable yet, your wasting time | 00:46 |
| NewWorld | ScarabDrowner: Yes actually haha, and one for Russian you can easily remove :) | 00:46 |
| KramB | How do I install a new Docky Theme? | 00:46 |
| Kamakazi | so, there are like a million tutorials out there on how to make bootable usb drives with ubuntu on them from windows, can't find very many that go the other way around | 00:46 |
| royale1223 | ruggero: remember that you have to copy all contents ohf /home to the root of the new partition. not just your files. | 00:47 |
| mikehj316 | NewWorld:I am using an HP and I found the devices, but only certain files are visible. Do I need to go into Windows and copy some of those files into that folder? | 00:47 |
| ruggero | raido, royale1223, bytheway I am in Yokohama, Japan. No problems here. Let's hope they fix these nuclear plants... we are on all TVs all over the world. Bad publicity for us ! | 00:47 |

| NewWorld | mikehj316: Is the Windows partition mounted? and what files are not visible? | 00:48 |
| KramB | How can I install new Docky Themes? | 00:48 |
| NewWorld | neil_: There was another person with that problem half an hour ago. Play around with 'qtconfig'? Change the theme maybe | 00:48 |
| alex86 | NewWorld: it shows a lot of stuff. i guess this are rights to read or write files, near them are root, the size and date | 00:49 |
| neil_ | NewWorld: it happens when playing with qtconfig too :( | 00:49 |
| alex86 | raido_: i can`t find PYTHONPATH | 00:49 |
| naomi__ | What program can I use Krfb with? | 00:50 |
| NewWorld | alex86: If you want to set PYTHONPATH, you do 'PYTHONPATH=/some/directory/to/python && export PYTHONPATH' . Hope it helps | 00:50 |
| mikehj316 | NewWorld: My regular Documents and Settings for W7, Windows files are missing. It does not show the C drive as mounted, but there are others that are. the files that show are backup files that are part of HP | 00:50 |
| astropirate | fsk you fafsa.org!!! won't let me use it on Linux | 00:50 |
| NewWorld | alex86: If it doesn't, paste the output of the ls -al cmd I sent you | 00:50 |
| astropirate | *.gov | 00:50 |
| NewWorld | mikehj316: Install ntfs-3g with synaptic... if those windows partitions are using NTFS (most likely) | 00:51 |
| ruggero | royale1223, ok thanks. I think I can do that. I think I messed up because I didn't know ntfs was not functional for linux... thanks a lot | 00:52 |
| Aaron_ | Can anyone receive this? | 00:52 |

| alex86 | NewWorld: i guess it didn`t help. i have showed the directory to there python 3 is. but python2 is by default | 00:59 |

| neil_ | hmm ok | 01:00 |

| neil_ | i'll give that a try | 01:00 |
| milamber | neil_: you can check for it by: dpkg -l | grep sfx | 01:00 |

| union131 | ya | 01:01 |
| neil_ | milamber: ok i just did a sudo apt-get remove xfs | 01:01 |
| jrib | NewWorld, alex86: python2 is what python should point to by default and that's how you should leave it. Changing it will likely cause issues as many system programs are written in python and expect python to point to python2 | 01:01 |
| union131 | then respond | 01:01 |

| NewWorld | alex86: 'rm /usr/bin/python && ln -s python3 python' ... but yeah doesn't sonud like too good idea. Just put python3 at top of scripts | 01:06 |
| jrib | KramB: ~ means your /home/username | 01:06 |
| jrib | alex86: do not do what NewWorld suggests | 01:07 |
| union131 | im going to get windows instead of linux, linux sucks | 01:07 |
| NewWorld | alex86: 'rm /usr/bin/python && ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python' | 01:07 |
| ScarabDrowner | union131: part of the Ubuntu experience for now, lot of the games we like don't work yet on linux | 01:07 |
| jrib | NewWorld: please stop recommending that. That's not a good idea | 01:07 |
| alex86 | jrib: why? | 01:07 |
| NewWorld | jrib: He wanted it. And it's completely reversible | 01:07 |
| ScarabDrowner | union131: it's not a fault of linux, it's a fault of the game makers who don't make them to run on linux | 01:07 |

| NewWorld | alex86: Some python programs aren't yet compatible with python3 | 01:08 |
| alex86 | NewWorld: what this command will do rm /usr/bin/python && ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python?? | 01:08 |
| jrib | alex86: because there are system scripts written in python and they expect python to point to python2. That command is going to break these scripts. | 01:08 |

| NewWorld | alex86: It's actually not a good idea though. You should run scripts with python3 , or put #!/usr/bin/python3 at top of scripts | 01:15 |
| alex86 | NewWorld: removing /usr/bin/python will make python stop working. besides there is python2.6 | 01:15 |

| reivanen | is ati or nvidia preferable from linux point of view? i see ati makes efforts to support opensource developers, where nvidia does not in any way | 02:22 |
| raido_ | reivanen: you have it backwards | 02:22 |
| reivanen | on the other hand ati is famous for their failing opengl implemntation | 02:22 |
| reivanen | do i? | 02:23 |
| zelrik | raido_: ok now I have other issues, but I think they are wine related | 02:23 |
| reivanen | As such, the Nouveau driver has not been maturing as quickly as the open-source ATI Radeon driver stack that has more active developers along with official support from AMD. | 02:23 |
| raido_ | reivanen: nvdia is much better supported | 02:23 |
| raido_ | zelrik: now that ati is owned by amd it has gotten better, but the stability and function of the nvidia drivers has been better for many years | 02:25 |
| raido_ | zelrik: good luck | 02:25 |

| Nisstyre | rahduke, is there anything running that might be taking up the hardware interrupts but not outputting any real sound? | 02:40 |
| Nisstyre | like flash? | 02:40 |

| Nisstyre | rahduke, I would only install it through the ubuntu repos... | 02:48 |
| raido_ | its an alsa plugin | 02:48 |

| Nisstyre | rahduke, before you do that though, paste the output of aplay -l | 02:49 |

| Sik | So: trying to install Ubuntu from the LiveCD. First time, it fails mid-install because of "I/O error" (probably failed to read something, most likely would have worked if it had retried, but it didn't even give me the option to clean the CD and retry!). | 03:12 |
| Sik | Second time, it copies everything, then it fails when configuring something, and the error message isn't helpful (besides no giving me any real information, it sends me straight to the LiveCD install in hope that I can "research about it"). | 03:12 |
| Sik | And now I think that it also screwed up the ext4 partition it made, because now the installer is completely unable to recognise the partitions on the hard disk and the only options it gives me are to wipe it! | 03:13 |

| rehan | I have an nvidia graphics card on my sony laptop. I'm completely new to ubuntu and just installed 10.10. After I install the nvidia additional drivers that ubuntu prompts me to install and restart, my computer never makes it past the purple splash screen. I've removed the additional drivers but now my resolution isn't correct and the right side of my screen is clipped off. Can anyone help please? Thank you. | 03:23 |

| rehan | d``, nope i dont have any switchable graphics option | 03:25 |

| d`` | rehan: that blows away my theory, sorry | 03:25 |
| zee313 | what means by gcc i couldn't understand | 03:26 |
| specialmoose | they probably tell me to go buy a new printer | 03:26 |
| rehan | neil_, thanks neil, i just did that. how do i re-install? should i do it via the GUI in additional drivers? | 03:26 |
| Sik | zee313: gcc is the name of a well-known C compiler | 03:26 |

| neil_ | rehan: do u have the binary driver or deb? | 03:28 |
| rehan | neil_, no, i just have ubuntu prompting me to install proprietary additional drivers from nvidia | 03:28 |
| BabyGirl | well d i cant make ur name so sottu for that,,,i mean change priority,,try left click on anything on system monitor prosseses and see a prioriry option | 03:29 |
| neil_ | rehan: if u have binary you may also have to blacklist nouveuo and some other stuff | 03:29 |
| neil_ | ah well do that | 03:29 |
| neil_ | rehan: follow the prompt | 03:29 |
| BabyGirl | u can change to very high to a minimun priority | 03:29 |
| rehan | neil_, ok, let me try it again. This is what got me into the mess the first time, but maybe it will be diff this time :) | 03:29 |
| neil_ | heh | 03:30 |
| BabyGirl | mozilla works exelent with high priority for me | 03:30 |
| rahduke | Nisstyre: tried the latest alsa that was a bust, went back to kernel .25, that didnt work, now i've noticed that it defaults to the hdmi input in sound preferences when i boot, hence I've disabled the HDMI output hardware. It still defaults to the hDMI output even though its off. Can i set my default audio output hardware somwhere? | 03:30 |
| rehan | neil_, ok just installed, gonna restart | 03:30 |
| neil_ | rehan: if not then install the binary driver by going to your tty (ctrl+f1) then sudo pkill -9 gdm xorg X and run the binary as root | 03:31 |
| Sdw195 | hi | 03:31 |
| Sdw195 | any life? | 03:31 |

| Nisstyre | try rmmod | 03:32 |
| Sik | [try #2] So: trying to install Ubuntu from the LiveCD. First time, it fails mid-install because of "I/O error" (probably failed to read something, most likely would have worked if it had retried, but it didn't even give me the option to clean the CD and retry!). Second time, it copies everything, then it fails when configuring something, and the error message isn't helpful (besides no giving me any real information, it sends me straight to the LiveCD install | 03:33 |
| milamber | Sik: did you check the cd? there are *lots* of problems with the cd not being md5'd and verified | 03:34 |
| Sik | Be more specific, also it sucks that I don't even have spare CDs :| Also how would that explain the Ubuntu installer now not even detecting the partitions in the hard disk? | 03:35 |
| Sdw195 | why would my head phone jack not work when my headphones are pluged in? | 03:35 |
| Sik | I'm trying to avoid wiping the hard disk (I don't care if the Windows install has to go away though). | 03:35 |
| Rehan_ | neil_, ok got the black screen again and had to login via recovery and low graphics mode | 03:36 |
| Rehan_ | neil_, should i remove the nvidia driver or should i do some ninja stuff in terminal like you were suggesting before? | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | Sik: If you press any key during the first 5 seconds of booting the liveCD you will get to a grub menu where you can run an integrity test. Please try this test to be sure the CD burned / is being read correctly. | 03:37 |

| mjs | hi all...i think i was unclear....was looking for server only...i found a link referring to gproftpd, an alleged gui frontend for proftpd, which i found in the repos, but gproftpd isn't there..? | 04:16 |
| axisys | mzuverink: i think #vlan | 04:16 |

| V01 | _syrinx_, how much is it different from xubuntu? | 04:16 |
| NoSpin | If i want to play a windows game, and wine isn't cutting it, what are my options other then vmware? | 04:16 |
| mzuverink | axisys, make sense, thanks you hoopy frood | 04:17 |
| Jordan_U | V01: Ubuntu server (or debian, but that's offtopic here). It doesn't make much sense to install Ubuntu or XUbuntu which contain Desktop Environments by default when all you want is a server. | 04:17 |
| Diamondcite | NoSpin: VirtualBox is vmware like, there is also Xen(needs newer CPUs) | 04:17 |
| g15 | ubuntu keep freezing my mouse click doesn't response. only the keyboard | 04:17 |
| NoSpin | Diamondcite: the vm products don't seem to work well.. i keep getting paging issues | 04:17 |
| _syrinx_ | V01: if its just a server, none really | 04:17 |
| g15 | and my mouse works it moves around the screen but can't click | 04:17 |
| NoSpin | Diamondcite: i remember cedga was a good option, but it looks like they are gone. is there a replacement for them? | 04:17 |
| Diamondcite | NoSpin: Assuming you have a Virtualization Capable CPU, and enough ram of course, it should work better? | 04:18 |
| V01 | Jordan_U, as i said its gnna be a home server and would be accessed later via a web interface probably from other system if needed. | 04:18 |
| g15 | how i restart ubuntu and not the wwhole comptuer | 04:18 |
| _syrinx_ | V01: kubuntu is just kde | 04:18 |
| Diamondcite | NoSpin: Wine(Original), Cedega(branch), Codeweavers Crossover(Branch) are all the same.. | 04:18 |
| mjs | polymorph, not sure if this is the question you're asking, but administration > login settings > uncheck "show list of users" | 04:18 |

| broodwich | g15: sudo service gdm stop | 04:19 |
| Jordan_U | !sysrq | g15 | 04:19 |
| NoSpin | Diamondcite: so if wine doesn't work, you don't think cedga would? | 04:19 |
| ubottu | g15: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 04:19 |
| mjs | NoSpin, vm used to work fine for me, but since then, have gone to VirtualBox | 04:19 |
| Diamondcite | NoSpin: Not too likely, unless it has something to do with Licensing, Cedega used to be quite nice, currently I don't know. AppDB generally has people commenting if it happens to work on other versions. | 04:19 |

| === panda is now known as Guest6135 | ||
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: what do i need to do/type? | 04:42 |
| cool_coaster | Theoretician: only java and flash | 04:42 |
| cool_coaster | need upgrading | 04:42 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: I suspect that the nouveau module is being loaded and it's causing the problem. So you need to tell linux not to load it, or load it without modesetting (which may work) | 04:42 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: But I don't have a live session in front of me so I can't tell you exactly how, sorry | 04:43 |
| lixinfish | hello, I typed "sudo chsh" command and accidentally input 'bash' in. Then I fall into problems. | 04:43 |
| lixinfish | I typed 'sudo chsh' again to reset it but get "chsh: PAM authentication failed" error. | 04:43 |
| Sik_ | Hey, does anybody here think that this could be the cause of Ubuntu's installer not recognising my hard disk partitions? http://pzt.me/8soi o_O | 04:43 |
| lixinfish | And when I try to 'sudo su', I get "Cannot execute bash: No such file or directory" error. | 04:43 |
| Theoretician | cool_coaster: yeah, try the upgrade, when was the last time you upgraded your system? | 04:43 |
| broodwich | aron__: second choice would probably be transmission--only becuse i see this a lot, but i'd stay away from Vuze--it's a resource whore. check this out http://alinuxblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/top-10-torrent-clients-for-linux/ | 04:43 |
| lixinfish | How can I solve that? I googled but get nothing useful | 04:43 |
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: i pressed escape then it went to the command line then i pressed escape again and went to the livecd menu | 04:43 |
| cool_coaster | Theoretician: well i installed ubuntu 4 days ago and updated then | 04:44 |
| IdleOne | lixinfish: use sudo -i | 04:44 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: Yes, then highlight the entry try ubuntu without making changes, and press 'e' | 04:44 |
| raido_ | lixinfish: just exit those terminals and start again, but why dis you use sudo in the first place? | 04:44 |
| Theoretician | cool_coaster: ubuntu 4? The current stable version is 10.04 | 04:45 |
| cool_coaster | Theoretician ubuntu 10.10 4 days ago | 04:45 |
| apn | lixinfish, type whereis sudo and post the results | 04:45 |
| Znerky | how do i aquire permissions to run files from /etc | 04:45 |
| Theoretician | cool_coaster: that makes more sense | 04:45 |
| Znerky | i get permission denied | 04:45 |
| cool_coaster | heh | 04:45 |
| Znerky | using su | 04:46 |
| apn | Znerky, chmod +x nameofhefile | 04:46 |
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: nothing happens | 04:46 |
| Theoretician | cool_coaster: so did you run sudo apt-get upgrade ? | 04:46 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: Hmm.. does it have an option to get to the boot options or anything like that? | 04:46 |
| linux_is_my_hero | but if i press f6 i can turn things on an off, including nomodeset | 04:46 |
| cool_coaster | Theoretician: its doing it now | 04:46 |
| Znerky | now it worked. | 04:46 |
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: but if i press f6 i can turn things on and off, including nomodeset | 04:47 |
| Znerky | .. i think i just turned my cpu fan off | 04:47 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: Yes, try nomodeset and see what happens | 04:47 |
| broodwich | Znerky: try chmod 7777 | 04:47 |
| Theoretician | cool_coaster: I would try again after that, if it still doesn't work, er, I'm not sure. (when did you burn you ubuntu cd?) | 04:47 |
| lixinfish | apn: whereis sudo => sudo: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/lib/sudo /usr/lib64/sudo /usr/share/man/man8/sudo.8.gz | 04:47 |
| broodwich | Znerky: try chmod -rwxrwxrwx | 04:47 |
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: try installing ubuntu 10.10 without nomodeset? | 04:47 |
| lixinfish | raido_: I have reboot the machine, problem still exist | 04:47 |
| cool_coaster | Theoretician: umm about 3 months ago | 04:48 |
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: im gunna do it, but just so i know, what is "nomodeset"? | 04:48 |
| lixinfish | IdleOne: sudo -i worked, but I still wondering why chsh not working? | 04:48 |
| cool_coaster | i needed it to fix grub on me other pc | 04:48 |
| Theoretician | cool_coaster: yeah, if it is that old, I would assume that it is because of the lack of upgrades | 04:48 |
| apn | lixinfish, type " /usr/bin/sudo su" | 04:48 |
| === |||||||||||||||| is now known as derp | ||
| Theoretician | cool_coaster: I may be wrong however | 04:48 |
| broodwich | man i hate freenode webchat a little, it does not filter out all the system gobbledygook | 04:49 |
| cool_coaster | well 5~ months ago i ran the same line on an unupdated brand new install and it worked | 04:49 |
| cool_coaster | and it still works on that one | 04:50 |
| Theoretician | cool_coaster: yeah, but with all the upgrades that come out, I wouldn't be surprised if your system is just out of date | 04:50 |
| TBotNik1 | Jordan_U: Well under 5 mins on the upgrade to 9.10 | 04:51 |
| Znerky | whats the max celcius a cpu can withstand? | 04:51 |
| icedtea | Znerky: depends on the cpu | 04:51 |
| Znerky | intel core 2 duo 2.13 ghz? | 04:51 |
| icedtea | Znerky: intel has documentation on the website about that | 04:52 |
| TBotNik1 | All: BRB, checking another machine! | 04:52 |
| lixinfish | apn: the same error, "Cannot execute bash: No such file or directory". but sudo -i worked. | 04:52 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: There are two ways to do mode setting for your monitor with the graphics hardware. You have user mode setting which means the code that makes it happen is in user space, and you have kernel mode setting (kms) where the code happens in the kernel to set your monitors resolutions, refresh etc. | 04:52 |
| Theoretician | cool_coaster: well, its late where I am, I have to sleep sometime. Good luck with the install. | 04:52 |
| cool_coaster | k | 04:52 |
| lixinfish | apn: I thought this is still the chsh's problem, how can I reset that? | 04:52 |
| cool_coaster | night Theoretician | 04:52 |
| Znerky | is there any command or program in linux which can give me the name on the cpu? | 04:53 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: Since the driver is directly responsible for setting the mode for the output device (your monitor), it would make since to try a different code path or just not load nouveau module all together | 04:53 |
| icedtea | Znerky: look at "dmesg" output | 04:53 |
| linux_is_my_hero | well i tried loading with "nomodeset" selected (or deselected, not sure which) and it works just fine | 04:53 |
| apn | lixinfish, try "/usr/bin/sudo -i /usr/bin/chsh" | 04:54 |
| Znerky | wat | 04:54 |
| linux_is_my_hero | then if i install the right nvidea drivers after install it should be fine, right? | 04:54 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: The only way you can do this from a live session is to use kernel parameters (aka boot options) | 04:54 |
| Znerky | im still new to linux | 04:54 |
| broodwich | Znerky: sometimes machines have a BIOS setting to auto-shutdown at a certain temp | 04:54 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: In theory, yes because nvidia module would be loaded instead of nouveau | 04:54 |
| apn | lixinfish, if i am understanding correctly, you are changing shell for root. is that right? | 04:54 |
| ceo | Desktop effects could not be enabled on lenovo G460 why? | 04:54 |
| AnggaDj98 | Znerky: go to terminal and type dmesg | 04:54 |
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: what is an indirect register access? | 04:55 |
| AnggaDj98 | Znerky: then put it in pastebin and share the link | 04:55 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: What's that got to do with ubuntu? (and how should I know? :) ) | 04:55 |
| icedtea | Znerky: actually, you could do "less /proc/cpuinfo" | 04:55 |
| Znerky | the terminal couldn't show all of it | 04:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: if gave me an error, but its loading 10.10 installer | 04:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | nomodeset is slower, but it works | 04:56 |
| AnggaDj98 | icedtea: thanks for calling that out I almost forgot that :) | 04:56 |
| icedtea | np | 04:56 |
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: don't i have to do something with drivers after my first boot to prevent the vertical lines again? | 04:56 |
| Znerky | thx icedtea about that last part think i can identify it now | 04:56 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: Well a graphics card has registers and with kms, the kernel is talking directly to the card but with ums, the driver in user space has to talk to the kernel, indirectly setting the registers to program the hardware | 04:56 |
| broodwich | almost forgot why i came here | 04:57 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: No, every time you reboot, it resets everything that happened in the live session | 04:57 |
| AnggaDj98 | broodwich: to say that you hate freenode | 04:57 |
| broodwich | Does anyone know what to do about a missing xorg.conf file and a failed Xorg -configure command? | 04:57 |
| broodwich | AnggaDj98: i hate 'webchat' | 04:57 |
| draven_sol | i want to make logical volumes across disks. should i partition the disks to only have logical partitions or does it not matter if they are primary/logical partitions? | 04:58 |
| AnggaDj98 | broodwich: ok | 04:58 |
| soreau | broodwich: You don't need xorg.conf unless you're trying to use a proprietary driver | 04:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: so does that mean nomodeset was selected just for the livecd session so it can go and install (which includes downloading drivers)? | 04:59 |
| broodwich | soreau: then how can i get it to see my mouse at /dev/input/mouse1? | 04:59 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: yes and no | 04:59 |
| soreau | broodwich: Just create xorg.conf with only an InputDevice section, or whatever it's called | 05:00 |
| soreau | broodwich: It should still respect the options for just an individual section | 05:00 |
| yawm | hey i wanted to as, does anyone know how to check how much time is taken for an application to start? | 05:00 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: If you can manage to get past the lines and install it, you should be able to fix it easier since whatever you do from the hard disk installation will remain persistent (so you don't have to keep starting over) | 05:01 |
| broodwich | soreau: so if i build it it will utilize? seems kind of ify to me that xorg would fail to create one for me but then use one if i merely supply a text file. but if you say so | 05:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | remind me again, how do i change the name of the computer (which others see on local networks)? | 05:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | soreau: remind me again, how do i change the name of the computer (which others see on local networks)? | 05:01 |

| ceo | soreau, http://paste.ubuntu.com/587201/ | 05:19 |
| broodwich | OUTOFLUKS: trucrypt does encryption | 05:19 |
| soreau | broodwich: sure, I wasn't giving a politically correct command, though it actually should work for the purposes of getting his drivers working | 05:19 |
| Znerky1 | raido_: it did a reboot of the connection after i inputed the dns servers, so now if i reboot it should use those dns servers automatic right? | 05:19 |
| broodwich | soreau: easy big fella | 05:19 |
| raido_ | Znerky1: it should | 05:19 |
| OUTOFLUKS | broodwich: will it allow me to access a luks encrypted drive? | 05:19 |
| soreau | ceo: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current nvidia-settings && sudo reboot | 05:19 |

| arieDOANK | i kill you | 05:21 |
| apn | lixinfish, don't worry, that's easy | 05:21 |
| broodwich | he kills you | 05:22 |
| jiltdil | if my system is connected in a LAN network is there any way to find the ip's of all connected system via termainl using some command? | 05:22 |
| apn | lixinfish, try "sudo -i vi /etc/passwd" | 05:22 |
| apn | lixinfish, find root (should be 1st line) and at the end change it back to /bin/bash | 05:23 |
| gaelfx | jiltdil: I'm guessing that would depend heavily on what software the router your using has installed | 05:23 |
| OUTOFLUKS | is there anyone else here that could provide guidance for accessing a luks encrypted directory? I'm using these instructions (http://pastebin.com/HVtGjTTq) from ubuntuforum, but I'm not getting a passphrase prompt as described in step two | 05:23 |

| ceo | soreau, thanks, am need documetation that tutorial, can you give me some tutorial | 05:31 |
| soreau | ceo: I don't know how the nvidia driver got installed but this might not be the problem every time. Intel drivers work out of the box | 05:31 |
| AnggaDj98 | soreau: why would a chip could be blacklisted? | 05:31 |
| jiltdil | gaelfx:thanx a ton | 05:31 |
| ceo | soreau, thanks, am need documetation that tutorial, can you give me some tutorial | 05:31 |

| ceo | soreau, am need see log chat on xchat can i do ? | 05:32 |
| AnggaDj98 | soreau: what does that have to do with getting blacklisted? | 05:32 |

| soreau | ceo: Look in ~/.xchat2/scrollback/FreeNode | 05:32 |
| soreau | ceo: It's not a tutorial, it's just that the nvidia driver got installed somehow by mistake. This can happen if you did a dist upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 | 05:33 |

| ruan | !nice | 05:40 |
| ubottu | 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. | 05:40 |

| AnggaDj98 | bye | 05:54 |
| AnggaDj98 | Chipper351: googling | 05:55 |
| Starminn | What is the thing called that you can turn off your computer/change your IM status in the Panel? | 05:55 |
| jericom | Abhijit: Ok perfect, but is there an applet that has that information? | 05:55 |
| AnggaDj98 | indicator applet | 05:55 |
| === pvoccio is now known as pvo | ||
| AnggaDj98 | Starminn: indicator applet session | 05:55 |
| Abhijit | jericom, ammm there can be. no idea. you look database of screenlet and awn and cairdo dock plugins | 05:55 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: No, the other one. | 05:56 |
| AnggaDj98 | Starminn: you said the ones to turn it off and use the Me Menu? | 05:57 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: Yes. The Indicator Applet is for sound/mail. | 05:57 |
| evolabo | kj | 05:57 |
| AnggaDj98 | Starminn: the indicator applet is the ones with Chat, Broadcast, Evolution Mail, Sound, and etc. menus and the indicaotr applet session is for shutdown and Me Menu | 05:57 |
| gaelfx | how can I change how chrome handles email addresses? I don't want it to open an external app | 05:58 |

| introsp3ctive | techno, dubstep, etc | 05:58 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: Then I'm afraid I don't have that applet anymore. Instead, the power controls are in the System menu | 05:58 |
| AnggaDj98 | introsp3ctive: Kalimba from Windows 7 :D | 05:58 |
| ruan | introsp3ctive: i listen to dubstep, but that's offtopic | 05:59 |
| gaelfx | AnggaDj98: perhaps I phrased that poorly, I meant that I don't want it to open another application, I want it to open gmail compose in the browser | 05:59 |
| Starminn | introsp3ctive: That's off-topic. Please relocate this conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:59 |

| Viking667 | 'llo all. Still trying to troubleshoot my sound... primary sound card's a NVidia ALC1200, secondary sound card is an ES1371. I'm trying to use the primary card with Skype, but though the speakers work fine, the microphone sounds like it's been mixed with another frequency, making me sound like Igor Brovinskya (3 octaves lower than normal). | 06:03 |
| AnggaDj98 | gaelfx: and sorry I can't answer that | 06:03 |
| Viking667 | I'm _not_ using pulseaudio, or i'm trying damn hard not to (shot it on sight) | 06:03 |
| AnggaDj98 | Starminn: now, do you want a KDE or a GNOME | 06:03 |
| ceo | all am hve install phpmyadmin with user and password (admin124) if am login with localhost/phpmyadmin and am can't used my username and password | 06:03 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: I'm faithful to Gnome. I was just trying out KDE and it's made a mess of my computer. Fonts are all screwed up, it's got processess running half of my CPU in the background, it uninstalled gnome-panel, and now I don't have that applet. | 06:03 |
| soreau | Viking667: that's pretty funny | 06:03 |
| ceo | all ame need make my ubuntu 10.01 like this link :http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/unity-364-brings-resizable-launcher-alt.html | 06:03 |

| AnggaDj98 | Starminn: you have to choose one coz this 2 desktop environments don't work together well | 06:04 |
| soreau | ! repeat | ceo | 06:04 |
| ubottu | ceo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 06:04 |
| Viking667 | So, what do I need to do to make me sound more ... normal? I've fiddled with things using console mixer program (alsamixer), but I suspect I'm missing something primary. | 06:04 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: Oh. Is there a particular reason for that? They really can't just work in harmony together? | 06:04 |
| AnggaDj98 | Starminn: yes they don't | 06:05 |
| juzzy_ | hey | 06:05 |
| TBotNik | All: Back upgrade successful I think? | 06:05 |
| AnggaDj98 | juzzy_: gday my Australian friend :D | 06:05 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: Well then, I'm going to have to remain faithful to my good friend GNOME. | 06:05 |
| AnggaDj98 | Starminn: oh and BTW KDE needs a lot of dependencies | 06:06 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: I know. | 06:06 |
| AnggaDj98 | Starminn: and it needs a lot of memory to use them, so dont use KDE unless you want glitches in your desktop | 06:06 |
| joeb_ | hi all .. does anyone use firewall ? | 06:07 |
| joeb_ | also what is a good firewall ? i just installed firewall | 06:07 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: I've been gradually discovering that. I *want* to like it because it's so gosh darn pretty, but every time I try it vomits all over itself, and sometimes GNOME which I don't appreciate much | 06:07 |

| Danielcg25 | Why doesnt Ubuntu see my brand new SDHC card and my camera does? | 06:07 |
| AnggaDj98 | joeb_: maybe ufw? | 06:07 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: It uninstalled itself a few days ago. So anyway, what steps do I need to take? Just delete all KDE stuff, etc., but how do I get the MeMenu back? | 06:07 |

| tass_ | the cable works in W7 for aduio xD | 06:10 |
| gaelfx | tass_: well, then, you probably don't have that. You have to remember to select the nvidia audio device in pulse, and you will get sound, but there's a good chance it's low quality | 06:10 |

| AnggaDj98 | gaelfx: e2fsck see the manual page | 06:12 |
| gaelfx | Danielcg25: well, it's possible that your card reader doesn't support it, but I've never had a problem with mine | 06:12 |
| XChats | good day! | 06:12 |
| Danielcg25 | hmm.. Probably the reader :( | 06:12 |
| ayecee | joeb_: stop the service, of course. | 06:12 |
| Danielcg25 | I'll have to buy a new one | 06:12 |

| gaelfx | AnggaDj98: wait, why am I shecking e2fsck? | 06:13 |
| AnggaDj98 | gaelfx: to scan bad blocks in your USB drive | 06:13 |
| TBotNik | All: Error seems to be coming from the "/nonexistant/path/to/file/archive/dir", which I'm guessing is in a config file and needs changing to an actual existing directory. Am I right? | 06:13 |
| Dacho | #gdku27 | 06:13 |
| gaelfx | Danielcg25: is there another reader you can try? | 06:13 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: Although complete is now there, I didn't want them together. I separate mine. | 06:13 |
| gaelfx | AnggaDj98: I think you've got me confused with someone else ;) | 06:13 |
| Danielcg25 | gaelfx: Not on this computer :/ | 06:14 |
| XChats | is their a twitter apps for the command line | 06:14 |
| AnggaDj98 | Starminn: hmm, so you want it to separate and that dialog box showed up? | 06:14 |
| Danielcg25 | (My laptop has a SD slot, not sure if it works with SDHC) | 06:14 |
| AnggaDj98 | XChats: goto #ubuntu-bots and talk to BestBot to see the best twitter app in command line | 06:14 |
| gaelfx | Danielcg25: hang on, I'll try to look into SDHC stuff | 06:15 |
| Starminn | AnggaDj98: Dialog showed up on start of Gnome the last two times (before installing complete), and yes, I don't want complete, I just want the power+MeMenu. Not everything together. | 06:15 |
| Danielcg25 | K thanks :) | 06:15 |
| AnggaDj98 | Starminn: then install it one by one | 06:15 |

| icedtea | anyone know how to reinstall or reconfigure a package? | 06:17 |
| ubottu | daniel__: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 06:17 |

| Roger__ | but not root pass | 06:43 |
| IdleOne | Roger__: that is the pass you need to enter | 06:43 |
| rww | !noroot | 06:43 |
| ubottu | We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 06:43 |
| IdleOne | there is no root password | 06:43 |
| N8Wulf1 | but your acc pw might not have Admin rights | 06:43 |
| rww | ugh, wrong one. | 06:44 |
| rww | !root | 06:44 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 06:44 |

| ActionParsnip | N8Wulf1: the first account you make will definitely be in the admin group, you can add additional users to the admin group if you want to grant them power | 06:46 |

| ActionParsnip | N8Wulf1: if it's EOL then it's offtopic dude | 06:51 |
| N8Wulf1 | but it seems nobody needs to use Legacy anymore | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | N8Wulf1: This channel doesn't support releases of Ubuntu that are no longer supported. | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | N8Wulf1: if you have low end hardware, try Lubuntu | 06:52 |
| N8Wulf1 | ah, thank you | 06:52 |
| pp7_ | rehan: you may need to do this: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf, comment out "blacklist vesafb" and add "blacklist vga16fb" | 06:52 |
| pp7_ | rehan: in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, add fbcon and vesafb | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | N8Wulf1: or xpud or puppy :-) | 06:52 |
| pp7_ | rehanL add "vga=795" to line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=..." | 06:53 |

| Kimmen | tass_: it differs depending on your video card | 06:58 |

| Kimmen | tass_: run aply -l | 06:58 |

| rehan | pp7_, if i have 'quiet splash' already in GRUB_CMDLINE | 06:59 |
| rehan | do i keep it? | 06:59 |
| blackguard- | anyone can explain in simple english what dev/nodev options in the fstab file does? | 06:59 |
| pp7_ | rehan: hmm lemme check mine... | 06:59 |
| Kimmen | tass_: "aplay -l" tells you which cards are available for playback | 06:59 |
| tass_ | how do I switch the playback then? | 06:59 |
| DaPenguin | rehan, that's just personal preference :) | 06:59 |
| rehan | DaPenguin, what is? | 07:00 |
| Kimmen | tass_: are you running lucid or maverick? 10.04 or 10.10? | 07:00 |
| tass_ | 10.10 | 07:00 |
| AnggaDj98 | !es | daniel__ | 07:00 |
| ubottu | daniel__: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 07:00 |
| DaPenguin | rehan, the quiet and splsh lines | 07:00 |
| pp7_ | rehan: yea mine still has "quiet splash" | 07:00 |
| Kimmen | tass_: run "alsamixer" press F6 and choose the nvidia card | 07:00 |
| rehan | DaPenguin, oh ok, what do those do? | 07:00 |
| Kimmen | tass_: then make sure that the ouput isn't muted | 07:00 |
| rehan | pp7_, so is it "quiet splash vga=795" | 07:00 |
| pp7_ | rehan: yep | 07:01 |
| DaPenguin | quiet hides most of the bootup messages and splash shows the splash screen | 07:01 |
| rehan | pp7_, or is there a comma or anything else in between? | 07:01 |
| tass_ | dosn't show up in alsa? | 07:01 |
| pp7_ | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash vga=795" | 07:01 |

| Kimmen | tass_: when you run alsamixer in cli and then press F6, which cards can you choose from? | 07:02 |
| _marx_ | afgh | 07:02 |
| rehan | pp7_, sudo initramfs-update -u gives me command not found | 07:02 |
| tass_ | Hmm | 07:03 |

| ranjan | jiltdil, here is your solution. chech whether this file exist in your machine. ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list | 07:59 |
| jiltdil | ok | 08:00 |
| ranjan | is it there. | 08:00 |
| Peddy | rehan, i'm here - sorry, had dinner | 08:00 |
| DaPenguin | Lew_, so it can't find the kernel image | 08:00 |
| rehan | Peddy, oh no worries. Thank you for sticking with me so far | 08:01 |
| jiltdil | ranjan:ye it is | 08:01 |
| Peddy | rehan, did you modify the initram thing and initramfs-update? | 08:01 |
| ranjan | open it and see | 08:01 |
| ranjan | jiltdil, open it and see | 08:01 |
| jiltdil | ok | 08:01 |
| rehan | Peddy, yep, did all the directions you gave me. Rebooted. Saw high-res grub menu, but tty is still not showing anything | 08:01 |
| Lew_ | Penguin, I dont know... What should I do? | 08:02 |
| jiltdil | ranjam:it opens but it is blank | 08:02 |
| ranjan | jiltdil, inode/directory=vlc like something. | 08:02 |
| Peddy | rehan, that menu was pretty sexy though, right? ^^ okay. At least that's progress. What graphics card do you have? | 08:02 |
| Lew_ | it has 4 boot options, the 2 unbuntu versions and recoverys versions, all of them lead to black screen | 08:02 |
| jiltdil | ranjan:yes it is seen | 08:02 |
| rehan | Peddy, haha yea it looked very nice. I have an nvidia 330GT mobile | 08:02 |

| ranjan | jiltdil, thats all | 08:03 |
| rehan | Peddy, pp7_ thank you for that | 08:03 |
| Peddy | rehan, let's keep trying - i just got it working on my nvidia card. | 08:04 |
| jiltdil | ranjan:ok i removed but why it is happening | 08:04 |
| Lew_ | at the top it says | 08:04 |
| DaPenguin | Lew_, probably an issue witha kernel update would be my guess | 08:04 |
| VanessaE | can someone here help me with a dual-screen XRandR issue? | 08:04 |
| Peddy | rehan, do you have fbset installed? "sudo apt-get install fbset" | 08:04 |
| jiltdil | ranjan: and how it atomaticaaly added | 08:04 |
| Lew_ | GNU GRUB version 1.98 | 08:04 |
| rehan | Peddy, sure, I'm on board as long as you are :) | 08:04 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok, just installed fbset | 08:04 |
| DaPenguin | Lew_, so you have grub2. follow the recovery instructions for that. should (hopefully) correct the problem | 08:05 |
| ranjan | jiltdil, sorry, not sure about the root cause. | 08:05 |
| ranjan | :( | 08:05 |
| Peddy | rehan, ok, good. Next, we will reinstall everything related to grub2. This actually fixed my problem for the first time. Can you open synaptic? (gksu synaptic) | 08:05 |
| jiltdil | ranjan:ok thanxalot | 08:05 |
| ranjan | jiltdil, thank the community | 08:05 |
| nick_name | hello all! | 08:06 |
| Peddy | rehan, please note that you should definitely not restart your laptop without grub installed, this will lead to a lot of hassle | 08:06 |
| rehan | ok Peddy i'm in synaptic | 08:06 |
| jiltdil | ranjan: especially you :) | 08:06 |
| jiltdil | ok any one tell me why it is automatically happend? | 08:07 |
| Lew_ | penguin, I dont have disks :( | 08:07 |
| VanessaE | I would like to keep my two monitors "linked" when I change to a lower resolution, such that together they act as a single screen that can pan around a large virtual screen, instead of each screen having its own independent panning region. | 08:07 |
| Peddy | rehan, okay - search "grub". tick "grub-pc" and "grub-common" and select "mark for complete removal", then hit apply. DO NOT REBOOT | 08:08 |
| ranjan | jiltdil, PM? | 08:08 |
| BajK | if I copy a folder, the hidden folders (starting with a dot) inside it are copied as well? | 08:08 |
| VanessaE | XRandR can supposedly do this, but I can't make heads nor tails of the stuff I find on the web when I search. | 08:08 |

For instance, using XChat to join Freenode doesn't work because it tries to join using an IPv6 IP that doesn't work | 08:22 |
| Faffel | I don't have an /etc/networking/interface file to edit, so there's obviously no connection info in there | 08:22 |
| Faffel | No IPv6 info in my ethernet settings either | 08:22 |

| fairuz | but they just give you the dev names | 08:32 |
| rehan | Peddy, i rebooted and it ended up on tty1 asking for my login, if i hit ctrl-alt-F7 all it showed was "checking battery" and showing parts of the boot up process, but nothing more. Now i'm in recovery mode | 08:32 |

| rehan | Peddy, yeah, i loaded in low graphics settings | 08:34 |
| rehan | Peddy, everything is huge but its working | 08:34 |
| osxfr33k | I am thinking the checkerboard desktop is due to a Graphics issue which 10.10 obviously cannot resolve. So my question is when will there be a new release for Ubuntu Desktop with hopefully the fixes to these issues | 08:34 |
| Peddy | rehan, that's alright - edit /etc/default/grub and replace the two lines "1280x1024" with "1920x1080" both times | 08:34 |
| Peddy | rehan, then run update-grub. If this doesn't work, we'll try a different approach | 08:35 |

| rehan | Peddy, tried doing startx when i got to tty1 again. said nvidia kernel can't load | 08:56 |
| Peddy | rehan, bizarre. That's actually really weird, since we haven't changed anything besides the bootloader. Can you install the nvidia-supplied driver again? | 08:57 |
| Peddy | rehan, it will just overwrite | 08:57 |
| benzaldehyde | ashmew2: this is great. my exact problem, reading. | 08:58 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok, is there a way to quit X? I remember before when i was doing it i kept having a hard time installing it because it kept telling me X is still running | 08:58 |
| jatt | hi, I just compiled a new kernel I want to add the grub entry for it, I think there is a command to do this automatically? | 08:58 |
| jatt | the command looks up what is in /boot and then adds the pertinent entries | 08:59 |
| Peddy | rehan, logout then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop". Or, you could actually do it in recovery mode (drop to root shell) and then do "init 3" and then install it from there. | 08:59 |
| ohsix | update-initramfs -c -k <version you installed> then update-grub | 08:59 |
| jatt | do you know the name of this command? | 08:59 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok, brb :) | 08:59 |
| jatt | ohsix: thanks this is working | 08:59 |

| BabyGirl | is there any option in bleachbit that could probably cause nautilus to wild up on me :( | 09:04 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok, i'm back, loaded up fine w/o recovery now after reinstalling the drivers. But tty1 still gives me black screen. | 09:04 |
| Dazzled1 | does anyone know of a unqiue property I could try to read in my program, to verify it's running on the right machine? | 09:05 |
| Peddy | rehan, ok. Erm, I have no idea where to go from here :/ does tty give blank screen even at low resolutions? My problem was that it gave a blank screen at high resolutions only | 09:05 |
| Dazzled1 | eg a HDD serial number or something | 09:05 |
| iceroot | Dazzled1: hdparm is giving you that serial | 09:05 |
| rams_pandu | how to set up a 64 bit chroot environment in ubuntu10,04 | 09:05 |
| iceroot | Dazzled1: or use the hash of a ssh-key | 09:05 |
| iceroot | rams_pandu: the same as a 32bit environment | 09:06 |
| pehden | is there a cron editor like the way webmins module is | 09:06 |
| iceroot | pehden: crontab | 09:06 |
| Dazzled1 | iceroot: the ssh key I could retrieve programmatically (from within a C++ application), but the hdparm requires sudo as well I guess? | 09:06 |
| rehan | Peddy, yep, i just changed my resolution to 800x600 and tried, still a black screen | 09:06 |
| Peddy | pehden, I know of a local version (not webserver-based)? | 09:06 |
| Peddy | rehan, are you running 32 or 64 bit linux? | 09:07 |
| rams_pandu | iceroot, can I follow the instructions given at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot#References%20and%20further%20information? | 09:07 |
| pehden | i need a local | 09:07 |
| rams_pandu | iceroot, I am running a 32 bit ubuntu10.04 | 09:07 |
| Peddy | pehden, try gnome-schedule | 09:07 |
| bluesmaker | hi i'm a noob trying to get a usb tv card running. went to linuxtv wiki and followed the instructions for my card and i got a problem i don't know how to resolve | 09:07 |
| SarcasMo | Starminn: I download Kate now | 09:07 |
| benzaldehyde | ashmew2: E: Couldn't find package Xserver-Xorg-Input-Synaptics | 09:07 |
| rehan | Peddy, 64 | 09:07 |
| pehden | peddy i like the way addin and viewing a job was in webmin but i dont want to install that local just for cron | 09:08 |
| arif | help me | 09:08 |
| pehden | peddy ok | 09:08 |
| Peddy | pehden, gnome-schedule is a small GUI program that lets you edit cron jobs | 09:08 |
| pehden | peddy ill check it out | 09:08 |
| twager | Anyone tell me ..If I install wubi to my wifes win7 lappy and something goes wrong how do I reinstall win7 boot to the mbr ? | 09:09 |
| SarcasMo | ? | 09:09 |
| Peddy | rehan, hm... bizarre that the framebuffer works in recovery mode (i assume you get all the text) but not normal mode | 09:09 |
| pehden | i cant wait for 11.04 | 09:09 |
| === Guest82081 is now known as LjL-Temp | ||
| Peddy | rehan, do you want to try editing /etc/default/grub, now that we have the driver working? change it to 1280x1024, since your card doesn't support your monitor's native resolution (as we found out in hwinfo) | 09:09 |
| Starminn | SarcasMo: Why? | 09:10 |

| SarcasMo | how can you remove games in Ubuntu 10.10 | 09:10 |
| Starminn | !natty > pehden | 09:10 |
| ubottu | pehden, please see my private message | 09:10 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok, the GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024 ? | 09:10 |
| Peddy | rehan, that's right, and the payload one - do you still have that there? | 09:10 |
| shomon | SarcasMo, I think go to applications -> software centre | 09:10 |
| Starminn | SarcasMo: Applications->Ubuntu Software Center, pick the game, hit "Remove" | 09:10 |
| rehan | Peddy, yep, will do that too | 09:10 |
| novitololo | I've a symlink that points to a bash script. How can I start/stop that script using the symlink? | 09:10 |
| pehden | lol wtf | 09:11 |
| linuxuz3r | whats a good pdf reader that supports annotation highlighting and commenting? | 09:11 |
| linuxuz3r | fml | 09:11 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok, i did update-grub | 09:11 |
| shomon | I'm writing a script that is really resource intensive. How do I kill it after a set number of seconds? | 09:11 |
| shomon | it's sh, or could be bash... | 09:11 |
| Peddy | rehan, it's super unlikely that this will cause your driver to stop working again. I don't know what happened last time | 09:11 |
| Peddy | rehan, reboot away! | 09:11 |
| rehan | Peddy, thanks! | 09:11 |
| ferengee | novitololo, just as jou would a normal script | 09:11 |
| shomon | http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/068 I'm using this page to figure it out, but I wasn't sure what ubuntu has by way of "timeout" equivalent? | 09:12 |
| bluesmaker | my card is listed in the em28xx as card=63, but i dont know how to actually get it to be card 63, in dmesg comes as card=0 | 09:12 |
| pehden | peddy where did it install to? | 09:13 |
| pehden | pedddy nvm | 09:13 |

| bluesmaker | it says "You may try to use card=<n> insmod option to workaround that." but i don't know how to do that | 09:13 |
| novitololo | ferengee: I've tried doing ./symlink_to_sh and is not working, even though doing ./script, works. | 09:14 |
| rehan | Peddy, loaded fine, but still no tty :-/ | 09:14 |
| V01 | linuxuz3r, i guess pdfstudio should sort off your issues | 09:14 |
| madmn | is there a safe way to install ubuntu on a windows 7 machine as a shared thing | 09:14 |
| madmn | so i can use both | 09:14 |
| fairuz | madmn: you can use virtual box | 09:14 |
| Peddy | rehan, try changing this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="video=LVDS-1:d" | 09:15 |
| Peddy | rehan, it's up the top | 09:15 |
| madmn | do you know where i can get virtual box from | 09:15 |
| V01 | linuxuz3r, try pdfedit too if you want | 09:15 |
| Lew | My laptop wont boot, it just goes to black screen when I choose to boot ubuntu on GNU GRUB 1.98 - Mount: Mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory Mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed Mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed Target file system doesnt have requested /sbin/init. No init found. try passing init= bootarg. | 09:15 |
| fairuz | madmm: search in google for that | 09:15 |
| Lew | Last part is from boot manager | 09:15 |
| fairuz | you just need to install the virtual box. Get ubuntu iso then install it from there in the virtual box | 09:15 |
| ferengee | novitololo, check with ls -la if your symlink is valid for your current path | 09:16 |
| ferengee | novitololo, you could be using a relative link | 09:16 |
| novitololo | it's a symlink from init.d | 09:16 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok, update-grub and reboot? | 09:16 |

| ferengee | novitololo, i use insserv insserv only for rearanging the init links using the overrides. I have no experience with symlinkID | 09:20 |
| et_ | soreau: yes | 09:20 |
| soreau | et_: If you use compiz, then yes | 09:20 |
| Lew | this is what u see in boot manager Mount: Mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory Mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed Mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed Target file system doesnt have requested /sbin/init. No init found. try passing init= bootarg. | 09:20 |

| et_ | soreau: No but I am trying to create a kiosk with ff running | 09:21 |
| et_ | soreau: so i installed server version and installed gdm and ff on it | 09:21 |
| fairuz | Lew: Do you have init in your /sbin folder? | 09:21 |
| YankDownUnder | BabyGirl, You can always delete the ~/.nautilus directory (or rename it) and try again. | 09:21 |
| Peddy | rehan, have you ever tried the ubuntu-provided nvidia drivers? how did they work for you? | 09:21 |
| et_ | soreau: I'm guessing I don't have compiz installed. | 09:21 |
| soreau | et_: I guess you are running metaicty then | 09:21 |
| soreau | et_: There might be a gconf option, lets see.. | 09:21 |
| bluesmaker | linuxuz3r: wet to linuxtv followed instructions and got to a point i don't understand | 09:22 |
| rehan | Peddy, they kept cutting off the right side of my screen somewhat to the point where I couldn't see the power down icon or its menu in the status bar | 09:22 |
| linuxuz3r | bluesmaker, not on linux | 09:22 |
| et_ | soreau: Gconf is what I'm looking for. /apps/metacity/... | 09:22 |
| BabyGirl | YankDownUnder:) ok i try,,,is that at home and Ctrl-H | 09:22 |
| linuxuz3r | sorry | 09:22 |
| et_ | soreau: I see nothing there yet.. | 09:22 |
| bluesmaker | linuxuz3r: :) ok | 09:22 |
| YankDownUnder | To force compiz => (ALT+F2) => compiz --replace | 09:22 |
| linuxuz3r | ;) | 09:22 |
| YankDownUnder | BabyGirl, It's best to do so from a terminal | 09:23 |
| Lew | Fair, it worked this morning' | 09:23 |
| Peddy | rehan, your laptop brand/model? | 09:23 |
| Lew | and all of the sudden I cant boot | 09:23 |
| BabyGirl | YankDownUnder:) well gor you buddy | 09:23 |
| bluesmaker | linuxuz3r: then i'm a bit like u:P | 09:23 |
| rehan | Peddy, Sony Vaio , model VPCF115FM | 09:23 |
| et_ | soreau: oops. It does not unmaximise when I drag it. The window simply moves | 09:23 |
| Danielcg25 | Sony Vaio = Fail. | 09:23 |
| Peddy | rehan, do you have an external monitor you can connect handy? | 09:24 |
| et_ | soreau: it'd be great if there was an option of locking the position and keeping the window maximised.. | 09:24 |
| Danielcg25 | I've had many Sony products and they all are piles of fail, | 09:24 |
| rehan | Peddy, just my TV, via HDMI | 09:24 |
| ferengee | novitololo, but never the less, if your script is +x and your symlink is an absolute path to the script. the script should be executable. even if the link exists on a noexec mounted directory | 09:24 |
| bluesmaker | any one knows how to use insmod comand? | 09:24 |
| soreau | et_: You can do all of that with compiz move plugin | 09:24 |
| Peddy | rehan, might as well give that a try. Apparently there is a problem with some Vaios' LCD not functioning | 09:24 |
| Lew | any ideas fair' | 09:25 |
| YankDownUnder | bluesmaker, You don't have to anymore - just use modprobe instead. | 09:25 |
| et_ | soreau: metacity? | 09:25 |
| Peddy | rehan, could you try one thing before that? | 09:25 |
| soreau | et_: compiz | 09:25 |
| fairuz | Lew: I think you screwed up your filesystem. Try to repair it with fsck | 09:25 |
| Peddy | rehan, what is the CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line right now? | 09:25 |
| fairuz | or something similar :D | 09:25 |
| BabyGirl | YankDownUnder:) tha las move i made was use bleachbit and when reboot it star taking CPU like crazy look = http://imagebin.org/145677 | 09:25 |
| Lew | fsck? | 09:25 |
| bluesmaker | YankDownUnder: ok, but i don't know how to | 09:26 |
| soreau | ! fsck | Lew | 09:26 |
| ubottu | Lew: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 09:26 |
| rehan | Peddy, video=LVDS-1:d | 09:26 |
| et_ | soreau: Any idea how expensive will installing compiz be in terms of space occupied on hard disk? | 09:26 |
| YankDownUnder | BabyGirl, Um...really no reason to use Bleachbit...ya might want to get rid of it (always just trouble with that ya know - and this ain't MS Windows) | 09:26 |
| YankDownUnder | bluesmaker, In a terminal, type "sudo modprobe name-of-module-you-want-to-insert" | 09:27 |
| soreau | et_: Its more a concern of getting 3D working. What is the output of glxinfo|grep renderer? (after installing mesa-utils) | 09:27 |
| fairuz | Lew: Or you can just use a Live CD to boot | 09:27 |
| Peddy | rehan, change that to nomodeselect | 09:27 |
| bluesmaker | YankDownUnder: i need to modify the em28xx driver to read my card as 63 instead o 0, | 09:27 |
| fairuz | Lew: then mount your disk. Then copy init file from live cd to your /sbin/ | 09:27 |
| Lew | do I do that command from boot manager cmd | 09:27 |
| trick | hey | 09:27 |
| fairuz | Do you have Live CD? | 09:27 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok, will reboot | 09:27 |
| soreau | Peddy: Dont you mean nomodeset ? | 09:27 |
| Lew | Na, no CD | 09:28 |
| trick | how do i transfer files into my virtual box windows installation ? | 09:28 |
| rehan | ooh should i change it peddy? | 09:28 |
| YankDownUnder | bluesmaker, If that's the case, then you should look into your /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, check the .conf files for the driver and how it's loading. Heaps of info on that in the forums. | 09:28 |
| Peddy | rehan, o.o yes, soreau is correct. Remember to update-grub | 09:28 |
| Peddy | thanks soreau :3 | 09:28 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok updated grub, rebooting | 09:28 |
| soreau | Peddy: No problem :) | 09:28 |
| fairuz | boot a working ubuntu from Live CD. Then Mount your disk (that have current filesystem). Then copy init from Live CD to /sbin/init of corrupted system | 09:28 |
| et_ | soreau: I am trying to keep it as minimal as I can :) | 09:28 |
| fairuz | Lew: Download it then :D | 09:28 |
| soreau | et_: You can make compiz as heavy or as light as you want. Compiz itself doesnt pull in much | 09:29 |
| trick | how do i transfer files into my virtual box windows installation ? | 09:29 |
| et_ | soreau: Ok. Then, I'll try installing compiz and see if I can pull this off | 09:29 |
| fairuz | trick: Make a share folder | 09:29 |
| soreau | et_: What is the output of glxinfo|grep renderer ? | 09:29 |

| et_ | soreau: Oh. Ok cool. I'll give it a shot.. | 09:31 |
| et_ | soreau: Thank you so much ! :0 | 09:31 |
| fairuz | Lew: I think your problem is just a missing init from /sbin | 09:31 |
| fairuz | Try what I suggest and see what happens | 09:31 |
| rehan_ | Peddy, yea, people have been able to get it fixed but i'm not sure how. How big of a problem is it if this does not work for me? Is the tty screen used much in ubuntu? | 09:31 |
| Lew | only way to fix is the CD? | 09:31 |
| osxfr33k | Ah for my Extreme Tech Support Question: IS the Dell 1505N Wireless Mini PCI-e card supported in LHP 5.03G? I was unable to find a driver from the list | 09:32 |

| SarcasMo | how can i delete stuff on Ubuntu 10.10 | 09:32 |
| SarcasMo | ? | 09:32 |
| Peddy | rehan_, it won't be absolutely necessary if you still have access to recovery console - it's more of a power-user thing. Althought it would be nice to have | 09:32 |
| fairuz | Lew: maybe it's not the only way, but it's the way that I would go | 09:32 |
| YankDownUnder | bluesmaker, Can you tell me what you're looking at? | 09:32 |
| iceroot | SarcasMo: delete what? | 09:32 |
| jiltdil | how to port scan with nmap vai terminal? | 09:32 |
| SarcasMo | games for instance | 09:32 |
| iceroot | jiltdil: nmap hostname | 09:32 |
| rehan_ | Peddy, if i get rid of my disable-nouveau.conf file, then tty works...is there any way to keep nouveau for tty and nvidia for the gui? | 09:32 |
| jiltdil | iceroot:any switches | 09:33 |
| YankDownUnder | jiltdil, man nmap | 09:33 |
| iceroot | jiltdil: nmap -p portnumber hostanme for a specific port | 09:33 |
| Peddy | rehan_, are you saying that noveau loads when you remove it from the blacklist? | 09:33 |
| jiltdil | iceroor: i want to port can of a certian up | 09:33 |
| jiltdil | sorry ip | 09:33 |
| jiltdil | iceroot: i want to port scan of a ip | 09:34 |
| rehan_ | Peddy, let me check, i will get rid of my disable noveau file | 09:34 |
| rehan_ | will reboot and brb. | 09:34 |
| bluesmaker | YankDownUnder: im in etc/modprobe.d looking at a file named em28xx it doesn't have the .conf extension and that's the warning i get when i try to use modprobe "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/em28xx, it will be ignored in a future release." | 09:34 |
| YankDownUnder | bluesmaker, You could do: cp em28xx em28xx.conf | 09:35 |
| tucent | you know what it is | 09:35 |
| Lew | @fairuz, will I loose my files and stuff if I use LiveCD | 09:35 |
| bluesmaker | YankDownUnder: thanks i'll try that | 09:35 |
| meuuijga | @lew no | 09:36 |
| fairuz | Lew: Of course not! I'm not asking you to reinstall Ubuntu | 09:36 |
| fairuz | Lew: Don't reinstall Ubuntu | 09:36 |
| fairuz | Lew: just boot from the CD | 09:36 |
| fairuz | __boot_____ | 09:36 |
| SarcasMo | where can i find programms i installed through Ubuntu software center? | 09:37 |
| fairuz | then you will have a working ubuntu from the CD | 09:37 |
| SarcasMo | I just installed kate and i want to use it | 09:37 |
| SarcasMo | but i cant find it | 09:37 |
| fairuz | then just mount your old ubuntu and put init from CD to your old ubuntu /sbin | 09:37 |
| YankDownUnder | SarcasMo, It'll be in your menus....however, sometimes you'll have to refresh the menus by logging out and logging in again. | 09:37 |
| fairuz | then throw the CD away and boot your system | 09:37 |
| Dannyd | hi where can i find help to use my HTC wildfire?..it runs android eclair | 09:37 |

| Dannyd | Peddy: | 09:38 |
| rehan | Peddy, after I change /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nouveau.conf , do i need to run anything like sudo update-grub for those changes to take effect? | 09:38 |
| Lunatyko | Oh, it was a long time away from irc | 09:39 |
| Lunatyko | Good to see people in it again | 09:39 |
| AdvoWork | hi. got a bit of a query regarding a theme problem.latest version of ubuntu, and using the default theme, initially the clock didnt count/change at all. Changed this to ambiance theme(time then updates) but today turned on the PC, time was missing completely and the username is discared a little. I change to the clearlooks/default theme and right away back to the ambiance one and all is ok again. Any ideas please? | 09:39 |
| Peddy | rehan, I'm not sure :/ I doubt it, but you could try update-initramfs -u | 09:39 |
| Peddy | rehan, could you pastebin the contents of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer please? | 09:40 |
| shomon | how do I get somethign to stop after x amount of seconds? | 09:40 |
| rehan | Peddy, sure | 09:40 |
| meuuijga | more specifically, does anyone use nvclock or CoolBits for overclocking nvidia cards? | 09:40 |
| rehan | Peddy, http://pastebin.com/ktDavjsu | 09:41 |
| Peddy | meuuijga, I have had success with coolbits in the past | 09:41 |
| meuuijga | hey peddy, thanks. whenever i try to change the settings and click apply, the sliders go back to the default settings. ever happened to you? | 09:41 |
| fisix | hey, is conky supposed to cover your icons? | 09:41 |
| rehan | Peddy, thank you for sticking with me for so long. | 09:41 |
| Peddy | rehan, we may be onto something - comment out (put # in front of) "blacklist vesafb" please? | 09:42 |
| SarcasMo | it worked | 09:42 |
| SarcasMo | whoohoo | 09:42 |
| KillGuta | I'm stuck at the installation, I can't type anything at the login info part | 09:42 |
| Dazzled1 | hmm, I don't think my program has sufficient permissions to read out the HDD serial | 09:42 |
| rehan | Peddy, it already has a # in front of it | 09:42 |
| Peddy | rehan, not a problem - the success will be worth it. | 09:42 |
| KillGuta | Actually, I can't click pretty much anything besides selecing some text | 09:42 |
| Peddy | rehan, that's fine. Does anything else have # in front of it/ | 09:42 |
| === candyban_ is now known as candyban | ||
| Peddy | ? | 09:42 |
| rehan | Peddy, no but i added blacklist vga16fb myself | 09:43 |
| Peddy | rehan, okay. Could you open /etc/initramfs-tools/modules? is there anything uncommented? | 09:43 |
| Dazzled1 | are there other options I could pursue? like, giving a program root access, or would this be a capital sin? | 09:43 |
| rehan | Peddy, fbcon and vesafb are in there on separate lines, uncommented | 09:44 |
| SarcasMo | by coincidence, does anyone know wich plugin to install for Kate if i want a python interpreter | 09:47 |
| Peddy | rehan, bizarre. I'm researching some more :/ out of interest, could you add "splash" after "quiet" in your grub file, then update-grub and reboot? separate splash and quiet with a single space. | 09:47 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok | 09:48 |
| Peddy | rehan, additionally, comment out both GFX lines with a # | 09:48 |
| Lew | thanks fairuz and peddy for your time | 09:48 |
| rehan | Peddy, ok | 09:48 |
| Dazzled1 | can anyone tell me how "bad" it would be to call sudo from within c++ and providing its password by echo? | 09:48 |
| rehan | Peddy, should i keep nomodeset ? | 09:48 |
| Peddy | Lew, hope you get your problem sorted out sometime. | 09:48 |
| Peddy | rehan, you can get rid of it now | 09:49 |

| NET||abuse | hi guys. i'm trying to mirror a page on a site, it's http://www.todayfm.com/Shows.aspx -> how to turn this into html and have the design work? | 09:51 |
| NET||abuse | wget -r -l 1 isn't getting it right for me | 09:51 |
| YankDownUnder | NET||abuse, Um...right channel to ask that? | 09:52 |
| NET||abuse | not sure, | 09:52 |
| NET||abuse | it's a linux tool in general. :) | 09:52 |
| YankDownUnder | Mmmm...yeah...true this... | 09:52 |
| YankDownUnder | NET||abuse, I'll then safely assume that you've read the man pages on wget? | 09:52 |
| NET||abuse | yes, as much as i can fit in my brain at one time. | 09:53 |
| NET||abuse | it's quite extensive | 09:53 |
| YankDownUnder | It should be simply: wget http://www.todayfm.com/Shows.aspx | 09:53 |

| meuuijga | Peddy, was that a no then? | 09:54 |
| YankDownUnder | NET||abuse, I just downloaded it...simply... | 09:54 |
| meuuijga | sorry i know you're busy | 09:54 |
| rcconf | does CPU frequency scaling work in ubuntu? | 09:54 |

| === david is now known as Guest67789 | ||
| YankDownUnder | NET||abuse, Quite simply this: wget http://www.todayfm.com/Shows.aspx => that downloads the file... | 09:55 |
| Peddy | meuuijga, sorry, I missed your chat. Try running nvidia-settings as root. alt-f2 then "gksu nvidia-settings" | 09:55 |
| NET||abuse | YankDownUnder, then try visit that local file on your webbrowser | 09:55 |
| NET||abuse | YankDownUnder, i want to mirror the page and it's assets. | 09:56 |
| rehan | Peddy, no luck :( | 09:56 |
| YankDownUnder | NET||abuse, THAT, my friend, is something that you'll have to work out - using either a script or otherwise...like a script running as a cron job... | 09:56 |
| meuuijga | Peddy, all i said was when i try to hit "apply" using coolbits, the slider bars won't stay and go back to the default settings. wondered if you had any experience with that. | 09:56 |
| katmandoudou | Hi, has anyone here already installed JBoss AS 6 as service on Ubuntu ? | 09:56 |
| ejv | hi all, ordered new 2TB drives, that use the 4K format, how do I partition them correctly for optimal performance? | 09:57 |
| Peddy | meuuijga, sorry, I missed your chat. Try running nvidia-settings as root. alt-f2 then "gksu nvidia-settings" then setting it - does it save? | 09:57 |
| Lew | peddy, if I put ubuntu ISO on USB, I can boot it from that right? | 09:57 |
| rcconf | !scaling | 09:57 |
| katmandoudou | I get exceptions when I run sudo service jboss stop | 09:57 |
| Peddy | Lew, you can't just stick the iso there - you have to use unetbootin or another tool to "extract" it to the USB | 09:57 |
| katmandoudou | http://pastebin.com/y0at57Mv | 09:57 |
| meuuijga | give me just a minute, it's on my other box. i'll try it :) | 09:57 |
| Peddy | rehan, darn! how important is tty access to you? I know it's nice to have working, but it's becoming very hacky to get working | 09:57 |
| ohsix | ejv: the tools that can do partitioning have all pretty much been updated for proper alignment, use gparted and you should be ok | 09:58 |
| Lew | peddy, is that simple enough? | 09:58 |
| Peddy | rehan, did the Ubuntu logo appear? | 09:58 |
| Guest67789 | Please help me with my Prism 2.5 wirels!ess driver. I need wireles | 09:58 |
| Peddy | Lew, it's a very simple task. What OS does the computer you're on right now have? ubuntu? | 09:58 |
| ejv | ohsix: gparted is gui based, does parted work? | 09:58 |
| ohsix | ejv: i presume so, they use the same backend | 09:58 |
| Lew | Yeah ubuntu | 09:58 |
| Lew | oh right now | 09:58 |
| rehan | Peddy, yes it did | 09:58 |
| Lew | windows XP | 09:59 |
| rehan | Peddy, i don't know anything about ubuntu so its not even really important to me. I was just hoping if i could find a fix i wouldn't be stuck later on if it was needed for something | 09:59 |

| SarcasMo | how can i delete programs with the terminal? | 10:00 |
| rcconf | SarcasMo: sudo apt-get remove <program> | 10:00 |
| Peddy | rehan, to tell the truth, it's rarely used - recovery mode provides everything you need. I use TTYs mainly for restarting or killing programs when they become unresponsive. With the coming 11.04 update, your problem may well be fixed in a new version of X. | 10:00 |

| rcconf | SarcasMo: you can also purge other packages and configs with apt-get purge <program> | 10:01 |
| ohsix | et_: it can be done with maximus, or devilspie | 10:01 |
| SarcasMo | rcconf: can i do that from root? | 10:01 |
| rcconf | SarcasMo: if you are root you dont need "sudo" | 10:01 |
| rehan | Peddy, i see. Hmm well you know, maybe I will do a fresh install since i haven't installed anything yet, download the nvidia drivers again and give it another shot. | 10:01 |
| et_ | ohsix: But my objective is to create a very minimal system with only FF running in maximized mode. A kiosk in essence. | 10:01 |
| rcconf | SarcasMo: it's dangerous to run as sudo | 10:01 |
| SarcasMo | rcconf: oops | 10:02 |
| Lew | oh thanks jordan, should have seen that | 10:02 |
| rcconf | oops | 10:02 |
| Peddy | Lew, System>administration>startup disk creator | 10:02 |

| Jordan_U | Lew: You're welcome. | 10:02 |

| rehan | Peddy, thank you for all of your help. I do have one last question if you don't mind. | 10:02 |
| SarcasMo | rcconf: it cannot find Kate (the program i want to delete) | 10:02 |
| et_ | ohsix: Any pointers to a tutorial on that geometry param? | 10:02 |
| Lew | Wait, which way? Peddys or yours? | 10:02 |
| Peddy | rehan, fresh install would be a great idea. I'm doing so myself. I would recommend the ubuntu-supported drivers, once they're available | 10:02 |
| Lost1 | anyone know why ubuntu is erasing my media files? .... it downloads to the directory fine, then a few days later I go to see the files, and they are gone.... | 10:02 |
| SarcasMo | rehan: E: Unable to locate package Kate | 10:02 |
| rcconf | SarcasMo: apt-cache search kate | 10:02 |
| soreau | et_: Yea, if you have no wm, and manage to get the window positioned correctly (and you do not need any other windows at all) then you might be able to get away with that | 10:03 |
| Peddy | rehan, shoot! haha, any question will be easy compared to getting ttys to work (; | 10:03 |
| soreau | et_: Did you try compiz? | 10:03 |
| candyban | rcconf, (not that I recommend running anything as root to a novice, but ....) what is wrong with sudo -i (or sudo root) | 10:03 |
| et_ | ohsix: Can that be done to any window? For e.g. Citrix ICA Client? | 10:03 |
| rcconf | SarcasMo: it's kate not "Kate" | 10:03 |

| et_ | ohsix: Thanks | 10:03 |
| rehan | Peddy, how can I change where my home directories link to? I like the icons and pictures on the home folders (docs,pics,videos,music,etc) but just want them to open up a different directory when i click on them | 10:03 |
| rcconf | candyban: nothing if he knows what hes doing | 10:03 |
| Peddy | Lew, those directions point to my method | 10:03 |
| et_ | soreau: not yet. No.. | 10:04 |
| SarcasMo | rcconf: it says : E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 10:04 |
| rcconf | SarcasMo: close synaptic manager or software center | 10:04 |
| * benzaldehyde passionately embraces ashmew2. you magnificent nerd pile :) it worked! hurray! | 10:04 | |
| candyban | rcconf, running as root or putting sudo in front of your command are identically dangerous ... | 10:04 |
| rcconf | candyban: yes | 10:04 |
| rcconf | candyban: you are right | 10:04 |
| Peddy | rehan, could you give me an example? Like, you want "pictures" to link to a folder titled "Images" instead? | 10:04 |
| rehan | Peddy, could i have those directories link to my "My Docs" or "My Pics" folders on my win7 ntfs partition if i use ntfs-3G | 10:04 |
| Lew | alright many thanks | 10:04 |
| candyban | btw. What is ubuntu the default password for root? (like the password it asks when it finds inconsistencies in the root partition) | 10:05 |
| et_ | soreau: I tried doing that in another system. Gconf -> /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/snapoff_maximized --> helps !! :) | 10:05 |
| rehan | Peddy, i was thinking i'd have my ntfs partition auto-mount on startup, and then have those directories link to their windows counterpart folders | 10:05 |
| SarcasMo | rcconf: how do you close synaptic manager? or software center. there both not in my desktop | 10:05 |
| meuuijga | Peddy, hm that's interesting. it's saying my password for root is wrong, but really one was never set up | 10:05 |
| ohsix | candyban: the default is random | 10:05 |
| YankDownUnder | candyban, Ain't one. You have to make one, if you REALLY need to... | 10:05 |
| pumeust | if i use photorec to recover data from 'whole disk', that means i already got all the data and dont need to bother with searching partitions, right? | 10:05 |
| ohsix | !root | candyban | 10:05 |
| ubottu | candyban: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 10:05 |
| soreau | et_: Thats just a more complicated way to do it, as opposed to the more friendly ccsm way | 10:06 |
| Peddy | meuuijga, you enter your normal user password | 10:06 |
| Peddy | rehan, just a sec (: | 10:06 |
| rehan | Peddy, thanks | 10:06 |
| meuuijga | Peddy, tried that =\ | 10:06 |
| et_ | soreau: I realized. | 10:06 |
| rcconf | SarcasMo: some program related with package managing is running.. | 10:06 |
| Peddy | meuuijga, bizarre. Try "sudo nvidia-settings" from a terminal | 10:06 |
| candyban | ohsix, how does sudo help when the system cannot boot and asks for the root password (or Ctrl-D to continue ... which it can't since the root partition has issues) | 10:06 |
| Peddy | rehan, I know how to do it, but keeping the icons is different. So i'm experimenting | 10:06 |
| et_ | soreau: But without compiz, the window just *moves* rather than snap off and unmaximize.. !! | 10:07 |
| rehan | Peddy, sweet. yeah i know its silly but i like those icons :-P | 10:07 |
| ohsix | candyban: it doesn't, hurr | 10:07 |
| Peddy | rehan, I know, I'm the same (: do "gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs " | 10:07 |
| Peddy | rehan, there you can type in the paths of your ntfs hdd. Do you know how to find the paths of the respective folders// | 10:07 |
| meuuijga | Peddy, ok, did that, GUI popped up. i'm able to change the fan settings but not the clock speed | 10:08 |
| ohsix | i must have missed something, single user mode doesn't ask for a password; you can also use init=/bin/bash on the kernel commandline | 10:08 |
| candyban | ohsix, so so why did you let the bot believe me that sudo isthe answer | 10:08 |
| soreau | et_: compiz can do everything you are wanting | 10:08 |
| ohsix | candyban: dogma | 10:08 |
| ejv | ohsix: 1 2048s 3907028991s 3907026944s primary | 10:08 |
| Peddy | meuuijga, bizarre. This is coolbits, correct? how did you enable coolbit? | 10:08 |
| basil_kurian_ | I have one strange problem when nginx is used as a reverse proxy for apache. Nginx sometimes give "bad gateway error" | 10:08 |
| candyban | Is there another way to get into single user mode (like when I said it fsck cannot correct the problem automatically) | 10:08 |
| pumeust | if i recover data from 'whole disk', am i finished or could there still be data in hidden partitions? | 10:08 |
| ejv | ohsix: looks like the first sector is on 2048s, which i believe is proper alignment | 10:08 |
| ohsix | ejv: i thought it was 1024 or 1m or whatever, but yea; that works | 10:09 |
| SarcasMo | rcconf: i cant find the prgrams that are running | 10:09 |
| meuuijga | Peddy, Yep sure is. I edited xorg.conf and added Options "CoolBits" "5" in tthe device section | 10:09 |
| et_ | soreau: Yes! | 10:09 |
| candyban | Or is the preferred method to boot from a live cd and fix it that way? | 10:09 |
| ejv | ohsix: well i gave it a start position of 1MB, is that too much? | 10:09 |
| SarcasMo | rcconf: i just checked system monitor but i dont see anything related (or i overlook it) | 10:09 |
| ohsix | ejv: shrug, you could put it at 0 and it'd still align it | 10:09 |
| ejv | ohsix: basically: `mkpart primary xfs 1 -1` | 10:10 |
| ejv | hmm | 10:10 |
| ejv | k i'll try | 10:10 |
| === aqs is now known as aqcoder | ||

| rcconf | SarcasMo: maybe another user | 10:10 |
| === Guest6512 is now known as LjL-Temp | ||
| ohsix | ejv: maybe because the way you're doing it assumes the operator knows what they're doing :D | 10:11 |
| ohsix | at least it tells you | 10:11 |
| === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest99821 | ||
| ejv | hmm perhaps :D | 10:11 |
| SarcasMo | rcconf: is that possible when another user never logged on? | 10:11 |

| StepNjump | hi guys, all my files show an x and a lock icon on them so I cannot open them. Of course if I gksudo nautilus, they will open fine but how can I tell those files that I am now their new owner? | 10:11 |

| meuuijga | Peddy> that's what i tried at first(nvclock) enable overclocking is uncchecked but i am able to cccheck it, then adjuust the sliders. but then like i said it goes bback to defautlt settings. sorry for typos this laptop keyboard sucks | 10:11 |
| Peddy | meuuijga, try running nvclock with "sudo" in front of it! | 10:12 |
| Peddy | rehan, we tried our best (; | 10:12 |
| iqpi | meuuijga: be careful with nvclock, you can damage your vga | 10:12 |
| rehan | Peddy, so awesome. Thank you! So once i get ntfs-3g setup and can do automounting, i could just put in the directory via /media/[ntfs drive name]/folder? | 10:13 |
| SarcasMo | rcconf: its not another user | 10:13 |
| Peddy | rehan, that'll do the trick. You'll have to log in and out. Note that spaces in your folder name "eg My Document" may have to be preceded by an escape character - eg "My\ Documents" | 10:13 |
| meuuijga | iqpi> lol yep. justt had to reboot. funny thing is i'm trying to UNDERclock my card | 10:13 |
| rehan | Peddy, awesome. | 10:14 |
| basil_kurian_ | I have one strange problem when nginx is used as a reverse proxy for apache. Nginx sometimes give "bad gateway error" | 10:14 |
| iqpi | i used nvclock and i do not remember i had to do anything to aply changes. | 10:14 |
| Peddy | rehan, I'm glad you're trying out ubuntu - hopefully your experiences will only improve from here. You already have the perfectionist mentality, as linux users do (; | 10:14 |
| fabrice_ | bye-bye | 10:14 |
| rehan | Peddy, about logging in, what would that require? right now i am able to browse there via the GUI and it doesn't ask for a password | 10:15 |
| rehan | Peddy, haha thanks | 10:15 |
| Peddy | rehan, I mean, logging in and out after changing the paths in the text file | 10:15 |
| rehan | Peddy, oh ok, cool. perfect | 10:15 |

| Peddy | meuuijga, when I used coolbits/nvclock, i had to re-do it every time i log in. it's not saved | 10:17 |

| saruji | Hello, I am have a question. Attempting to install ubuntu 10.10 on top of win7, however ubuntu installer only see's my 2nd hard drive (D: in windows) I partitioned my first drive in windows (C:) to have free unpartitioned space, however it does not show up in the ubuntu installer. Any ideas? Thanks for any input | 11:28 |
| ioria | thanx | 11:28 |
| red2kic | NET||abuse: Maybe you're using a theme that have little or no feedbacks? Also, if you're not getting it on 10.10 -- the bug got fixed, perhaps. | 11:28 |

| keyUp | once i managed to open 1/3 of it | 11:28 |
| YankDownUnder | saruji, You might want to try using the "manual" partitioning instead - that allows you to specify your target(s)... | 11:29 |

| keyUp | I have changed ISP and now I can't connect my laptop to internet | 11:29 |
| saruji | YankDownUnder I go through the manual partitioning instead, however the drive does not appear there? Is it possible that win7 wrote MBR to the 2nd drive and install itself on the 1st? | 11:30 |

| jatt | you have the wrong dns servers | 11:30 |
| keyUp | 8.8.8.8 was google dns right? | 11:31 |

| jatt | how can I make an external usb bootable? | 11:34 |
| perlmonkey | does anyone know how to fix broken language support? | 11:34 |
| jatt | I already installed ubuntu on it and I can mount the partitions and run programs from the usb with chroot | 11:34 |
| saruji | jatt goto administrator and choose create startup .... | 11:34 |
| sacarlson | YankDownUnder: are you using wubi to install or a liveboot cd? | 11:34 |
| jatt | saruji: I tried that some weeks ago and it recreated my partitions! | 11:34 |
| jatt | saruji: I lost all my data | 11:34 |
| jatt | saruji: is there a way to do it with the command line? | 11:34 |
| ioria | the drivers are only for windows :-((( | 11:35 |
| saruji | jatt, right but it was bootable | 11:35 |
| jatt | saruji: the partition /dev/sdb2 is marked with * when I do fdisk -l | 11:35 |
| saruji | jatt you asked, how do I make an external usb drive bootable | 11:35 |
| jatt | saruji: so it's bootable in principle, the bios also tries to boot from the usb, but it fails | 11:35 |
| saruji | jatt ah, so the computer does not boot to the usb drive? | 11:36 |
| guampa | jatt: you need to install a bootloader in the usb drive | 11:36 |
| jatt | guampa: you mean grub? | 11:36 |
| perlmonkey | does anyone know where the language locale config files are to edit manually? | 11:36 |
| guampa | yes grub, syslinux, grub4dos etc | 11:36 |
| guampa | perlmonkey: theres a gui tool in the administration menu to manage language settings | 11:37 |
| perlmonkey | guampa yes it seems to be broken or have a long standing bug issue | 11:37 |
| jatt | guampa: will try that, I also try to follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB | 11:37 |
| jatt | guampa: however it seemed to me very complicated, I will try to just install grub and see what happens | 11:37 |
| jatt | does it make a difference if I install grub in the usb when I access my usb with a chroot? | 11:38 |
| guampa | jatt: no, its not necessary to chroot to install it | 11:38 |
| [twisti] | isnt there anyone here who will help me with my language issue ? i cant imagine this would take more than like 60 seconds | 11:39 |
| jatt | guampa: how can I do it without chroot? I chroot to it and then run apt-get or gnome-session to run graphical programs there | 11:39 |
| erUSUL | !anyone | [twisti] | 11:39 |

| guampa | jatt: i think the instructions in that page are grub1, its easier now with grub2 | 11:39 |
| [twisti] | erUSUL: already done, nobody replied | 11:39 |
| jatt | guampa: I see | 11:39 |
| guampa | lemme check, i was messing with all this a month ago | 11:39 |
| jatt | guampa: will try with grub2, but you mean apt-get install grub from the chroot is not the way to go isn't it? | 11:40 |

| [twisti] | thats why i came here | 11:41 |
| Lew | fairuz | 11:41 |
| Lew | u there? | 11:41 |
| guampa | jatt: it isn't but for other reasons, "apt-get install grub" installs the grub software package in your system, its not for arbitrarily installing grub to some device | 11:41 |
| [twisti] | i was hoping someone could be like "right click, 2nd option from the top, then 3rd option, then 1st button" | 11:41 |

| erUSUL | [twisti]: press " alt + f2 " type in the box " gnome-language-selector " press enter | 11:42 |
| keyUp | should I put mac address of the router in network connection settings or that is optional? | 11:42 |
| ioria | usually 192.168.1.1 | 11:42 |
| Lew | anyone can help me with LiveCD | 11:42 |
| ioria | or 192.168.0.1 | 11:42 |
| keyUp | but really I wonder how I cant open 192.168.100.1 motoral router page | 11:42 |
| jatt | guampa: great, can you share it with me :)? | 11:43 |
| Lew | I am missing files and cannot boot im running thw trial ubuntu, what do I do now | 11:43 |
| jatt | guampa: I just found with google http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-grub2-on-usb-from-ubuntu-linux/ | 11:43 |
| jatt | guampa: is grub-install? | 11:43 |
| ioria | the router page requires a user and password | 11:43 |
| keyUp | it isnt openning at all | 11:43 |
| guampa | jatt: that's the one :) | 11:43 |
| ioria | the adress is wrong, maybe | 11:43 |
| Lew | erUSUL, I am on the trial ubuntu thing | 11:43 |
| keyUp | nop | 11:43 |
| [twisti] | erUSUL: it started and i set everything to english, but the buttons are still all italian (i think). do i need to reboot ? if so, how ? | 11:43 |
| keyUp | once i opened it 1/3 | 11:44 |
| keyUp | strange | 11:44 |
| keyUp | tomorow technicians will come | 11:44 |
| jatt | guampa: ok, I will try it tonight at home | 11:44 |
| Lew | what do I do so it fixes original partition | 11:44 |
| guampa | good | 11:44 |
| jwtiyar | how to enable the universe component? | 11:45 |
| erUSUL | [twisti]: there should be a power button in the panel the reboot is the second to last in the menu that appears when you click on it | 11:45 |
| erUSUL | jwtiyar: should be already enabled. | 11:45 |
| [twisti] | it doesnt seem to have worked | 11:45 |
| [twisti] | i mean, it rebooted, but its still in that weird language | 11:45 |
| erUSUL | jwtiyar: check in ubuntu software center Edit>Software Sources | 11:45 |

| [twisti] | i think i got it | 11:47 |
| Lew | now I got the disk, and am trying to fix missing boot files | 11:47 |
| erUSUL | Lew: you can use gparted ( system>admin...>partition editor ) to check partitions | 11:47 |
| [twisti] | uninstalled the language (it was italian) alltogether | 11:47 |
| Lew | and do what from there | 11:47 |
| [twisti] | yes! thank you, erUSUL | 11:47 |
| erUSUL | Lew: right click on the problematic partition and choose verify it | 11:47 |

| perlmonkey | ok I solved the language bug in Ubuntu | 11:52 |
| shomon | StuckMojo, try going into #apache although you may get flamed in there... | 11:52 |
| shomon | I did a couple of times anyway... | 11:52 |
| perlmonkey | easy fix, if anyone wants to know..just edit your bash profile and add/remove the language support pack export line | 11:52 |

| kodez | i can't even see it when is ls /dev/disk/by-id | 12:36 |
| ManDay | i dont think grub is to blame here | 12:36 |
| benzaldehyde | i have ubuntu on PS3, is there a way to use a different resolution where i could manage or adjust the black bars on the sides and top of the screen? when i switch to a 480i mode the screen is off-centered and i can't see the prompt | 12:37 |
| jrib | ManDay: what is your intent? To install ubuntu from the usb drive? | 12:37 |
| syn3rgy | kodez what do you see when you try fdisk -l | 12:37 |
| ohsix | benzaldehyde: usually those are tv adjustments | 12:38 |
| ManDay | jrib: just have a live pen drive | 12:38 |
| kodez | syn3rgy: unfortunately the person who has that problem is not with me to check that | 12:38 |
| jrib | ManDay: persistent? | 12:39 |
| pratheep | why i can't format flashdrive to fat cryp....., linux . | 12:39 |
| syn3rgy | kodez sry names going by so fast ... | 12:39 |
| brian1 | hi i have installed xubuntu along with windowsXP,an and i have recently updated my xubuntu to kernel version 2.6.35-28 and how when i choose to boot windowsXP in grub, winXP boots without any problems until i get to see my Desktop for 5 seconds and then all of the sudden the system restarts/resets and I land in the grub bootmenu | 12:39 |
| Hardin | pratheep: Details please | 12:40 |
| ManDay | jrib: no | 12:40 |
| Hardin | pratheep: For example, what tool are you using to format | 12:40 |
| ManDay | nothing special | 12:40 |
| ManDay | jrib: just what unetbootin would usually do | 12:41 |
| saksham | how to reinstall a software? I'm not sure if it installed correctly | 12:41 |
| jrib | ManDay: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick and verify it actually works with unetbootin and/or usb-disk-creator | 12:41 |
| ManDay | it works with unetbootin | 12:41 |
| ManDay | i can confirm that | 12:41 |
| jrib | saksham: what software? How did you install it? | 12:41 |
| brian1 | hi i have installed xubuntu along with windowsXP,an and i have recently updated my xubuntu to kernel version 2.6.35-28 and how when i choose to boot windowsXP in grub, winXP boots without any problems until i get to see my Desktop for 5 seconds and then all of the sudden the system restarts/resets and I land in the grub bootmenu | 12:41 |
| jrib | brian1: if win xp starts booting it's a windows issue | 12:43 |
| ohsix | brian1: that sounds like a windows problem | 12:43 |
| guampa | brian1: if you can see your desktop, grub is working fine. at that point it has long finished its job | 12:43 |
| benzaldehyde | how can i disable parts and joins and quits in irssi? | 12:43 |
| ohsix | benzaldehyde: /window level -parts -quits iirc; theres online /help though if i'm wrong | 12:44 |
| brian1 | ok good to know | 12:44 |
| saksham | i installed octave (on opensuse), and while installation, I ignored an error shown about a missing library | 12:44 |
| saksham | later i installed the library | 12:44 |
| DJones | !quietirssi | benzaldehyde | 12:44 |
| ubottu | benzaldehyde: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS | 12:44 |
| jrib | saksham: but this is #ubuntu for ubuntu support | 12:44 |
| jrib | ManDay: I don't know of the specifics but doesn't unetbootin do more than what you described? Involving syslinux? | 12:45 |
| ohsix | benzaldehyde: /window level -joins -parts -quits | 12:45 |
| saksham | yes..but I figured there won't be much difference.. | 12:45 |
| benzaldehyde | that just said window level is now NONE?? | 12:45 |
| jrib | saksham: please ask in the channel for your distribution | 12:46 |
| saksham | ok | 12:46 |
| thevishy | has anyone tried etoile desktop environment here ? | 12:46 |
| ManDay | jrib: i'm not sure. i thought unetbootin simply usesy syslinux instead of grub | 12:47 |
| ManDay | i thought they are interchangable | 12:47 |
| ManDay | after all it sorta works | 12:47 |
| antant | Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to install old kernels? They don't seem to be in synaptic | 12:47 |
| ManDay | its just that error half they way through the boot | 12:47 |
| jrib | ManDay: hmm, don't know enough to help you | 12:47 |
| ManDay | no prob. thanks for the hints jrib | 12:47 |
| jwtiyar | my 10.4 does not support my huawei modem | 12:47 |
| mansel | Another little question, I can just access my jboss server (that is isntalled in same machine) using 127.0.1.1 or the computer name. Is there anyway to do that when someone points to my IP (intranet) he could be able to access the jboss server? (if it would be at 127.0.0.1 it would work). Sorry if question is not concise. | 12:47 |
| guampa | ManDay: the way i understand it, as long as you can specify an initrd and kernel params, you can use grub1/2/grub4dos/syslinux | 12:48 |
| ManDay | huh? | 12:48 |
| ManDay | guampa: what will that do | 12:48 |
| ManDay | what is that path you mentioned? | 12:49 |
| ManDay | oh, lol | 12:49 |
| guampa | ManDay: ... | 12:49 |
| ManDay | its not meant to be a path i see | 12:49 |
| ManDay | yes, i thought so too | 12:49 |
| guampa | no just the options | 12:49 |
| ManDay | yes. | 12:49 |
| ManDay | is it maybe related to specifying file=/cdrom/... as a kernel arg? | 12:49 |
| ManDay | i think the problem really is that the kernel assumes that it finds itsself and its data on the cdrom /dev/sr0 where actually its on the usb | 12:50 |
| ManDay | /dev/sda | 12:50 |
| ManDay | (or so) | 12:50 |
| guampa | hmm what are you trying to boot? an ubuntu? | 12:50 |
| ohsix | the kernel doesn't do it, the scripts in the initrd do | 12:50 |
| ManDay | yes 64b desktop | 12:50 |
| DND | /join #wordpress | 12:50 |
| ManDay | ohsix: yeah or that | 12:50 |
| groove | hi | 12:50 |
| guampa | hm | 12:50 |

| groove | thx! | 12:51 |
| benzaldehyde | does not receiving migraines correlate to lack of intelligence? | 12:51 |

| guampa | ManDay: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4696/install-ubuntu-10-10-server-from-usb-with-grub4dos | 12:53 |

| Kicchiri | Hi. I'm a newcomer to Ubuntu (and mostly Linux as well) -- Anything I have to know when trying to set up a secure system? | 12:54 |
| Kicchiri | Also, what's a good choice for browser & IRC Client? | 12:54 |
| ohsix | you could just like, install it; it's a fully mountable fs and you can chroot to it and run the installer | 12:54 |
| Blizar | hi ! Is there a command to know what is the file pointed by a symbolic link? | 12:56 |
| guampa | Kicchiri: you can start securing by setting up a firewall | 12:56 |
| guampa | !firewall | 12:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 12:57 |
| ohsix | Blizar: ls -l | 12:57 |
| ohsix | guampa: theres not much running by default, and stopping those is advisable before just firewalling everything | 12:57 |
| jrib | Blizar: also readlink. « readlink -f » will keep following symlinks recursively | 12:58 |
| guampa | firewalling is always a good thing anyway | 12:58 |
| ohsix | not | 12:58 |
| Kicchiri | Hm. Thanks. I will require some open ports though... what's the primary source of insecurity on not-firewalled ports? | 12:58 |
| benzaldehyde | tony does not rule | 12:58 |
| Blizar | really interesting jrib thx | 12:58 |
| jrib | benzaldehyde: please keep the discussion in this channel about ubuntu support only | 12:58 |
| guampa | not really interested in arguing, so be that as you like | 12:59 |
| ohsix | Kicchiri: the primary source is unknowable!11 it's really scarry ;] | 12:59 |
| benzaldehyde | tony does not rule ubuntu software | 12:59 |
| jrib | benzaldehyde: ok funny, but seriously stop:) | 12:59 |
| Asad | Is there a software in ubuntu to adjust software-based contrast/brightness/gamma etc. (like in windows).. | 12:59 |
| ohsix | guampa: firewalls can be messed with, it's the software and the exposure surface that's a problem, firewalling can be part of that | 12:59 |
| benzaldehyde | alright :3 | 12:59 |
| ohsix | Asad: for video outputs or for everything? | 12:59 |
| Asad | ohsix: ... uhh... for my laptop LCD monitor. That's video output yeah. | 13:00 |
| ohsix | Asad: video as in things that use a video port, not the display itself | 13:00 |
| DP_Prophet | Hi all, I have a question concerning broken packages after an update | 13:01 |
| Asad | I can adjust gamma using xgamma but I wanted to adjust contrast/brightness too.. | 13:01 |
| ohsix | Asad: xvattr changes the xvideo port properties, and video players occasionally support it directly, as for the rest it'd be driver specific afaik | 13:01 |
| pratheep | ubuntu play game?? | 13:02 |
| Asad | oh ok ohsix .. so i guess it would only be available for non-free nvidia/ati drivers ? what is used for intel hd displays in core i5 ... ? | 13:02 |
| DP_Prophet | I keep getting the following: unable to install (supposed) new info file `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/md5sums': Is a directory | 13:02 |
| DP_Prophet | found no solutions online | 13:03 |
| ohsix | Asad: i do not know | 13:03 |
| jrib | DP_Prophet: well... is it a directory? | 13:03 |
| DP_Prophet | no, it doesn't even exist | 13:03 |
| Zulo | hi, one question! in bash how to can save the symbol & in a variable? | 13:03 |
| jrib | DP_Prophet: what are you installing? | 13:03 |
| DP_Prophet | libdbus-1-dev | 13:04 |
| DP_Prophet | just an update | 13:04 |
| jrib | Zulo: foo='&' | 13:04 |
| resmo | hi | 13:04 |
| ohsix | Asad: i lied, xrandr has gamma controls for individual channels | 13:04 |
| DP_Prophet | jrib: tried uninstalling, --purge | 13:04 |
| Zulo | thanks jrib :) | 13:04 |
| DP_Prophet | apt-get install -f | 13:04 |
| Asad | lol cool ohsix ... | 13:04 |
| benzaldehyde | xrandr where do i know that word from | 13:04 |
| DP_Prophet | but nothing | 13:04 |
| jrib | DP_Prophet: can you pastebin full output with the error (and the command you ran) | 13:05 |
| DP_Prophet | sure, sec | 13:05 |
| Asad | i currently use xrandr to switch from and to internal/external display ... somehow ubuntu doesn't support fn + f4 on my laptop | 13:05 |
| ohsix | Asad: you should report a bug about that | 13:05 |
| tim167 | hello, how do i find out which device is mounted to /media/32rewrewrewr... ? | 13:05 |
| ohsix | Asad: but theres also the monitor applet which uses xrandr and applies your prefs at boot | 13:05 |
| ohsix | s/boot/logon | 13:05 |
| jrib | tim167: type « mount » | 13:06 |
| tim167 | jrib: thanks :) | 13:06 |

| benzaldehyde | Asad: i don't use a laptop but i can tell you that alt plus a numbered F key will take you between shells and when in GUI alt+ctrl plus F keys will do the same. usually the GUI is on F7 | 13:08 |
| Ja23 | I pressed Ctrl+C in terminal and it interrupted (as it's supposed to) but I'd like to uninterrrupt, can i do this? | 13:08 |
| resmo | jrib, this seems not the way ubuntu made this | 13:08 |
| jrib | resmo: hmm, how come? | 13:08 |
| === adrien_ is now known as Guest36045 | ||
| benzaldehyde | Ctrl+C should be Copy, are you thinking of Control+Break? | 13:09 |
| resmo | jrib, I mean in the installer, you can checkmark automated updates, and I want this to be undone | 13:09 |
| ohsix | Ja23: you can't uninterrupt it, that kills it; you probably wanted ctrl+z | 13:09 |
| Asad | benzaldehyde: uhh.. alt + ctrl + f4 for toggle display? | 13:09 |
| jrib | resmo: yes, you verified that it's done using one of the two packages mentioned on that wiki page? Can you check if they are installed? | 13:09 |
| ohsix | Ja23: then you use job control stuff to work with it, fg, bg, jobs; it's part of your shell | 13:10 |
| benzaldehyde | in GUI it that should take you to a shell | 13:10 |
| antant | Hey guys. Can anyone tell me how to install old kernels? They don't seem to be in synaptic | 13:10 |
| Ja23 | ohsix: So i should press ctrl+Z | 13:10 |
| resmo | jrib, yep, also check cron.d and cron.daily nothing found | 13:10 |
| resmo | checked | 13:10 |
| ohsix | Ja23: that will interrupt a running program and give you an opportunity to continue it in the background or the foreground; instead of killing it completely | 13:11 |
| Ja23 | ohsix: I was in the middle of working on installing a ppa of gnome, and it was asking me a question, and I went to copy and paste the q into google | 13:11 |
| ohsix | Ja23: if you wanted to copy things from a terminal when theres a dialogue on it, hold shift so it doesn't send mouse clicks to it | 13:11 |
| jrib | resmo: are you sure the updates are enabled? | 13:12 |
| Ja23 | ohsix: yeah, I found that out the hard way, haha | 13:12 |
| Ja23 | ohsix: So, is there a way to take a step back? | 13:12 |
| Guest36045 | howdy, i've a rather serious problem. I removed my inscription files n' I can't find their. I tried with photorec and other programs but it don't work. I must send these files before this friday : | 13:12 |
| kz3 | can anyone teach me how to install a tar.gz file? | 13:12 |
| Pici | Ja23: in a terminal, ctrl-c is break. to copy, either select the text with your cursor and use middle-mouse to paste. or use shift-ctrl-c or ctrl-ins to copy | 13:13 |
| jrib | kz3: you avoid doing so and just use apt | 13:13 |
| jrib | !compile > kz3 | 13:13 |
| ubottu | kz3, please see my private message | 13:13 |
| ohsix | Ja23: you'll have to start again; chances are since you interrupted it, it will say packages are broken and to use dpkg-reconfigure or something, then it will re-ask you the question | 13:13 |
| kz3 | how to compile? | 13:13 |
| resmo | jrib, I ask this myself :). hmm I am installing again in a vm, to see the difference... thx | 13:13 |

| Lew_ | when im formatting my HDD what options do I do | 13:16 |
| Lew_ | master boot record? | 13:16 |
| ikonia | Lew_: what do you mean, what options ? | 13:17 |
| Lew_ | like | 13:17 |
| benzaldehyde | Lew_: well that is ultimately up to you, do you mean how to slice it? | 13:17 |
| ohsix | Lew_: unless you know you need gpt, yes; use mbr if it's an x86 | 13:17 |
| Lew_ | gpt? | 13:17 |
| benzaldehyde | huh? | 13:17 |
| ohsix | Lew_: linux can read all sorts of types of partitions, but it's up to your computer's bios to boot them; so if it's a boot volume it's important to use mbr | 13:18 |
| benzaldehyde | oh gparted | 13:18 |
| Lew_ | im doing it because my HDD is pretty much missing | 13:18 |
| solvik | hi. i'm searching a solution in order to close a session instead of lock it when there is a certain amount of inactivity. i've searched but didn't find any solution | 13:18 |
| Lew_ | and it had the orgiginal ubuntu on it | 13:18 |
| benzaldehyde | gparted is great | 13:18 |
| kz3 | SpitfireWP please see my PM | 13:18 |
| ohsix | solvik: forcibly closing things can lead to data loss | 13:18 |
| benzaldehyde | doing what | 13:18 |
| Pici | !who | 13:18 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 13:18 |
| solvik | ohsix: well, i know. but i still *need* to do that | 13:19 |
| ohsix | solvik: if it really is inactive stuff will get swapped out for things that are actually running | 13:19 |
| Ja23 | Question (double check): I accidently pressed Ctrl+C while building GNOME, it was paused, telling me I had a phase build error, and asking me a question, is there any possible way to undo my Ctrl+C | 13:19 |
| ohsix | solvik: then rig up something to kill their session ;] | 13:19 |
| Lew_ | Al;right so | 13:19 |
| jjp | solvik: often you will have to work with gconf-editor to tweak this | 13:19 |
| ohsix | Ja23: are you using jhbuild or something? it should ask you what to do if it's interrupted | 13:19 |
| Lew_ | Everything to do with myHDD I get this error "Daemon is inhibited" | 13:20 |
| Ja23 | ohsix: yeah I was using jhbuild | 13:20 |
| solvik | ohsix: the real problem is there i have several pc with a session system (nis). but when somebody is loggued on more than 1 pc he can't run firefox/chrome (the .config/chromium/SingletonLock etc..) | 13:20 |
| solvik | and it's very annoying | 13:20 |
| solvik | so when there is no activity, the session close itself | 13:20 |

| Lew_ | anyone know? | 13:21 |
| Ja23 | benzaldehyde: It was dling stuff for a few hours and my gf just got here and yada yada | 13:21 |
| Lew_ | Everything to do with my HDD, I get "daemon is inhibited" | 13:21 |
| benzaldehyde | Lew_: what are you trying to do? | 13:21 |

| solvik | ohsix: i don't think it's possible with nis :) | 13:22 |
| Lew_ | its a boot | 13:22 |
| ohsix | Lew_: do you have gparted open? those disk tools inhibit udisks while they're running | 13:22 |

| Christoper | well how do I get around the bug? | 13:38 |
| Lew_ | can anyone find the error for me in this to do with my SATA HDD | 13:38 |
| Lew_ | http://pastebin.com/hJ46cwNv | 13:38 |
| gartral | Christoper: theres a panel applet that lets you control trottling. | 13:38 |
| bedson | hi | 13:38 |
| ohsix | Christoper: sounds like the cpu governor stuff isn't working, or the bios tables are wrong | 13:38 |
| ikonia | Lew_: no error listed in there | 13:38 |
| Christoper | ohsix, no cuz it works fine in Windows with AMD Cool N' Quiet | 13:39 |
| ohsix | Christoper: that doesn't have anything to do with ubuntu or linux, however | 13:39 |
| kz3 | how to compile a program? | 13:39 |
| ikonia | !compile | kz3 | 13:39 |
| ubottu | kz3: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 13:39 |
| gartral | Christoper: that means your bios tables are wrong | 13:39 |
| kz3 | i have downloaded a tar.gz file now how can i install it? | 13:39 |
| ohsix | Christoper: linux actually attempts to do things properly and relies on the bios information to do it, vendors often don't care when windows just does its own thing and it works anyways | 13:39 |
| ikonia | kz3: READ the url ubottu has just given you | 13:39 |

| ponbiki | lol | 13:40 |
| ikonia | no need to comment, move along | 13:40 |
| gartral | Christoper: again, theres a throttling applet for the panel, get you head out of your prosterior and learn what's wrong with your hardware before accusing something that works fine with proper hardware of being crap | 13:40 |
| Lew_ | ikonia would this be when it stopped working? SATA mode [ 3.441720] scsi3 : ahci [ 3.441933] scsi4 : ahci [ 3.442069] scsi5 : ahci [ 3.442416] ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 irq_stat 0x00400040, connection status changed | 13:41 |
| ohsix | gartral: the applet wouldn't help if the throttling modes were broke already, which it sounds like they were | 13:41 |
| Christoper | why did you boot me | 13:41 |
| ikonia | Lew_: I don't know, depends what the status was changed to | 13:41 |

| ikonia | Christoper: if you want to use another OS, just use it but don't start moaning | 13:41 |

| kz3 | can anyone please help me install a tar.gz file | 13:42 |
| Christoper | but every time I try it fails on me | 13:42 |
| gartral | ohsix: no, they work, but the cpu doesn't properly report it's load conditions, the throttling applet works fine | 13:42 |
| gartral | Christoper: then listen too the person giving you advice. | 13:42 |
| ohsix | gartral: if you could pick a frequency i wouldn't call that working | 13:42 |
| ohsix | because the governor would still be broke | 13:43 |
| iceroot | ikonia: i dont see a reason to kick him instead of a single bad word,the rest was ok and normal questions | 13:43 |
| gartral | ohsix: blam AMD for being lazy. | 13:43 |
| ohsix | ehm | 13:43 |
| ohsix | somehow i don't think they're to blame | 13:43 |
| ikonia | iceroot: there was more than that | 13:44 |
| gartral | ohsix: really they are. i've had that same problem with every Athlon/Duron cpu i've ever used | 13:44 |

| fairuz | Dr_Willis: Pidgin can do that? | 14:18 |
| Dr_Willis | fairuz: i think it has settings or plugins for that | 14:18 |
| epzis | guampa: anything i should know if wvdial fails? | 14:18 |
| fairuz | Dr_Willis: ok i'll search for that | 14:19 |
| thevishy | i installecd e16 and now I am having problems with my gnome . Seems like my gnome is not able to see a window manager properly ( i removed e16 afterwards) | 14:19 |
| guampa | epzis: the log says it modeswitched allright, i was thinking more the lines relative to the connection, but if you try to connect manually with wvdial you'll be able to see those too | 14:19 |
| SystemDefault0 | fairuz: If you're using Pidgin, go to the preferences menu, search in the Conversation tab, and deactivate notifications. | 14:19 |
| epzis | guampa: im trying it, ill be back in abit hopefully hope you're still on | 14:20 |
| Dr_Willis | thevishy: perhaps use fusion-icon to tell it to use compiz or metacity | 14:20 |
| soop | thevishy: enlightenment hasnt been under active devlopment for years??? if im right | 14:21 |
| l4ng1t | well.. can we use voice call on pidgin? | 14:21 |
| l4ng1t | yahoo voice call | 14:21 |
| Dr_Willis | soop: a great great many years. | 14:21 |
| Dr_Willis | soop: ist still in devlopment.. a constant state of development. | 14:21 |
| soop | dr_willis: might as well use windowmaker ... at least it had nice widgets | 14:21 |
| * soop swoons for slack/windowmaker ;) | 14:21 | |
| Dr_Willis | soop: windowmaker is nice in ways. but shows its age these days | 14:21 |
| fairuz | SystemDefault0: ty | 14:22 |
| Dr_Willis | the e17 has some very neat features. but lacking in ways | 14:22 |
| Dr_Willis | the 'enlightment foundation libraries' (I think thats the name) are being used by some embeded systems and other apps these days as well. so E is not dead. :) | 14:22 |
| ljsoftnet | l4ng1t use skype | 14:23 |
| l4ng1t | what about yahoo voice call? | 14:23 |
| ljsoftnet | l4ng1t i think voice and video chat isn't in pidgin | 14:23 |
| antant | Hey, when looking in pci.ids should I find my TV card in there? | 14:23 |
| l4ng1t | thanks ljsoftnet | 14:24 |
| ljsoftnet | l4ng1t yahoo voice and video chat is for yahoo messenger only | 14:24 |
| jiltdil | ranjan: are u here? | 14:24 |
| l4ng1t | i see | 14:24 |
| ljsoftnet | l4ng1t i dont think there's a linux version for yahoo messenger | 14:25 |

| crazypeg | does anyone know a good tutorial on that | 14:28 |
| Pici | crazypeg: The version of virtualbox in the Ubuntu repositories does not have usb enabled. You'll need to download and isntall the deb files offered at Sun/Oracle/vbox's website. | 14:29 |

| thevishy | Dr_Willis, how do I use fusion-con and how to specify it to use Compiz | 14:32 |
| thevishy | apparently no window manager is not confiured with my gnome now | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | thevishy: install 'fusion-icon' and run it. and use its menus. | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sre-su: about ready to leave to head to the dr's office. Be back laters. | 14:32 |

| alessandro_ | Ciao | 14:50 |
| rypervenche | I am following a guide to install the Linksys WUSB300N driver, but it keeps freezing when I plug it in to my computer. I got this to work on my old Ubuntu computer. Does anyone have any insight? | 14:53 |
| LiquidDemocracy | Is there other software with which one can make calls from PC to PC besides skype? | 14:54 |
| mbeierl | LiquidDemocracy: ekiga | 14:58 |
| airtonix | insanity99: explain again in greater detail. | 14:58 |
| airtonix | insanity99: define "top panel" | 14:58 |
| airtonix | LiquidDemocracy: plenty. | 14:58 |
| insanity99 | well i want evolution to be open, but in what windows calls the system tray | 14:58 |
| mbeierl | LiquidDemocracy: http://ekiga.org/ also available in the repos | 14:59 |
| insanity99 | im pretty sure i've seen it do this before | 14:59 |
| airtonix | insanity99: the "Me Menu" | 14:59 |
| insanity99 | i dont see evolution there | 15:00 |
| airtonix | insanity99: make sure your panel has the "indicator applet" in it. it should present an envelope icon | 15:00 |
| eveningsky|2 | trying to install a tomboy plugin. Success with download, tar, make. The folder now has env.sh, wordcount.dll, wordcount.dll.mdb, and some text files. I try install, it says "install: missing file operand" How do I procede? | 15:01 |
| mix22891 | hello | 15:01 |
| jona___________s | hi wheres the traditionally correct location to store websites? /srv/www? | 15:01 |
| mix22891 | i can't see Hebrew Fonts in Google-Talk program, what do i do? | 15:01 |
| airtonix | jona___________s: on debian it's /var/www | 15:02 |
| LjL | jona___________s: well *traditionally*, it's really /var/www... but /srv/-something is probably more appropriate according to the latest standards | 15:02 |
| insanity99 | yes that worked thanks | 15:02 |
| eveningsky|2 | jona___________s: most of the professional webhosts put it in /var/www/ | 15:02 |
| jona___________s | eveningsky|2: LjL ok | 15:03 |
| jona___________s | will use /var | 15:03 |
| mcb_2 | jona___________s: most people don't change de default values.... LOL | 15:03 |
| airtonix | jona___________s: however you can (and should) modify the virtualhosts defs in /etc/apache2/sites-available/* to put indivdiual namedbased virtual hots in /var/www/<name>/public_html/ | 15:03 |
| jona___________s | airtonix: should the default site be disabled? | 15:03 |
| rypervenche | I am following a guide to install the Linksys WUSB300N driver, but it keeps freezing when I plug it in to my computer. I got this to work on my old Ubuntu computer. Does anyone have any insight? | 15:03 |
| airtonix | jona___________s: i do yes. but i also just redirect it to /var/www/default/public_html/ | 15:04 |
| jona___________s | airtonix: where does default go by default? | 15:04 |
| jona___________s | :P | 15:04 |
| airtonix | jona___________s: remember for local dev purposes you can make use of avahi cnames to provide subdomains of something.hostname.local | 15:04 |
| airtonix | jona___________s: it goes to /var/www by default | 15:05 |
| jona___________s | this is for a business site.. but may also host my personal site on it in the future | 15:05 |
| mix22891 | in google-talk my fonts gos not normaly | 15:05 |
| jona___________s | airtonix: so that default "hello" or whatever message people see.. comes from /var/www? | 15:05 |
| airtonix | jona___________s: i would think about segregation then | 15:05 |
| airtonix | jona___________s: yes | 15:05 |
| jona___________s | what file is it | 15:05 |
| airtonix | jona___________s: typically the default document is index.html | 15:06 |
| jona___________s | so after installing apache2... that creates a /var/www/index.html? | 15:06 |
| jona___________s | with that default message | 15:06 |
| mix22891 | please!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 15:06 |
| airtonix | jona___________s: yes | 15:06 |

| eveningsky|2 | how do I access a locally served website from another computer on the same network? | 15:07 |
| jona___________s | eveningsky|2: enter the ip address | 15:07 |
| airtonix | jona___________s: the point of separating it from http.conf is to make disabling and enabling virtualhosts easier. so yes it is required for sane website operations. | 15:08 |
| Zealous | i just removed windows today and threw linix on the HD, been a good day :P | 15:08 |

| eveningsky|2 | I put the local ip of the computer. it just sits there. | 15:08 |
| jona___________s | airtonix: i mean.. in the default file... it has all them options??? | 15:08 |
| jona___________s | airtonix: those should be kept for the default? always? | 15:08 |

| switch10_ | An_Ony_Moose_: I use chromium on a GUI. links2 for non GUI stuff. | 15:21 |
| dyd | i'm using wireshark but i only see some kind of packets | 15:21 |
| pumeust | in synaptics i see ddrescue and gddrescue...is one better than the other? | 15:21 |
| dyd | if i'm connected to a switch is wireshark useless? | 15:21 |
| An_Ony_Moose_ | switch10_, ok, so I'll just continue using chromium. I'm quite happy with w3m. Thanks for the suggestions :) | 15:21 |

| jsebean | one sec... | 15:53 |
| ruan | grub looks for boot.ini | 15:53 |
| switch10_ | jsebean: what is the output of sudo fdisk -l | 15:53 |
| adi11 | ok thank you guys. i think i will tell the owner to throw this away :) | 15:53 |
| jsebean | afraid not | 15:54 |
| ruan | eg. this is my boot.ini and it shows windows as its name in boot.ini | 15:54 |

| ruan | multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Deleted Windows" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect | 15:54 |
| adi11 | good idea | 15:54 |
| jsebean | can i put in a boot.ini? | 15:54 |
| ruan | shows on grub update as "deleted windows' | 15:54 |
| adi11 | :) | 15:54 |
| ruan | you can, but im not sure about the format | 15:55 |
| ruan | and if its still used in win7 | 15:55 |
| jsebean | ok | 15:55 |
| ruan | i'll google around | 15:55 |
| Jordan_U | jsebean: If "sudo os-prober" doesn't list your Windows install then your Windows install is almost certainly broken (as file critical for booting do not exist). | 15:56 |
| ruan | Windows Vista/7 doesn't use boot.ini. You have to repair your boot sector so that it loads Windows 7's bootmgr instead of Windows XP's ntldr. I don't really know how to do that, though. It involves the Windows 7 DVD. | 15:56 |
| ruan | that was a dual boot situation with xp and 7 | 15:57 |

| ruan | !defrag | 16:58 |
| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext4) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | pratheep: you mean to defrag a Ext2/3/4 filesystem? | 16:58 |
| sipior | pratheep: generally, barring a very full volume, disk fragmentation isn't an issue under linux. | 16:58 |
| pratheep | yes : dr willis | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | pratheep: see what sipior said.. normally never needed.. | 16:58 |
| sipior | (i don't even think it's much of an issue under windows anymore) | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | it definatly is still an issue under windows7 :) | 16:59 |
| pratheep | ok.. | 16:59 |
| benzaldehyde | Dr_Willis: for a minute i thought pratheep might have been going for 'deflagration' | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | just widnows has these in the background defraggers.. that make you not notice it as much | 16:59 |
| LePousson | hi guys | 16:59 |
| ruan | pratheep: yeah, ext* places files far apart from each other, this avoids fragmentation | 16:59 |
| sipior | Dr_Willis: i think the "not booting windows" makes me notice it even less :-) | 16:59 |
| === seiflotfy__ is now known as seiflotfy | ||

| ruan | pratheep: the guide from !defrag explains it better | 17:00 |
| pratheep | defrag to more speed fin file on hardisk. | 17:00 |
| pratheep | so..:ruan | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | pratheep: theres tools for it for ext2/3/4 but i doubt if you will notice any differance. | 17:00 |
| LePousson | i'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I have a little problem with my USB HDDs. When I reboot my computer, the HDDs are not recognized as the same system drives. I mean sometimes one is /dev/sde1 and sometimes it is /dev/sdd1 ... | 17:01 |
| ruan | pratheep: that's for windows(ntfs), linux uses ext* | 17:01 |
| pratheep | what program... | 17:01 |
| LePousson | what can i do to make them recognized at every reboot like the / part with an UUID ? | 17:01 |
| patrykr | can I have DNS server on server, if that server blocking ping requests? | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | check that defrag url.. in the many many many years of using linue. ive never needed to defrag. | 17:01 |
| LePousson | hi benzaldehyde | 17:01 |

| Dr_Willis | LePousson: you can set fstab to mount them by UUID, or even Label. if you wanted | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !uuid | 17:02 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 17:02 |

| ubottu | patrykr: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 18:13 |

| Squarism | hi, im a newbie of sorts running linux on the desktop, and more specifically on a dell laptop. My impression after 8 months of use is that ubuntu/linux works so so as a desktop operating system. On the hardware side, support is lacking / or crippled for graphics and controller devices. When it comes to graphics it does seem to have very basic multimonitor/ dock-undock support. You that have been in the game for a while - have things | 18:47 |

| llutz | aeon-ltd: where is nvidias open-source driver? | 18:48 |
| aeon-ltd | Squarism: but thats because its written by guys as hobbies, almost no one is paid/funded to produce drivers for a free OS | 18:48 |
| aryan2 | ruan: I am connecting this with a cable to my machine's USB port . | 18:49 |
| aeon-ltd | llutz: my bad, ok nvidia's developed proprietry driver and amd/ati's open source dirver | 18:49 |
| aryan2 | I believe there might be some connector for linux as well as in windows case we use nokia PC suit for this purpose | 18:49 |
| Squarism | aeon-ltd, i guess so.. just wonder if there is some initiative to make linux more coherent.. how apps / utils work together.... like DDE for windows | 18:49 |

| dajhorn | Kicchiri: Did it find the ethernet interface? If yes, then try `sudo dhclient eth0`. | 19:28 |
| Bartzy | thanks | 19:28 |

| WeThePeople | Dr_Willis, how would i create a mount point. i would like to mount it to my desktop | 19:29 |
| dajhorn | Kicchiri: The ethernet cable must be plugged in for that command to succeed. | 19:29 |
| monkeyD | if I watch a youtube video and right click at the video I can see that | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Monkeyd: check you do not have gnash or swfdec installed | 19:29 |
| terry | Dr_Willis: He already tried. See: | 19:29 |
| softcoder | anyone.. grub? | 19:29 |
| Kicchiri | dajhorn: it is, but the switch doesn't see anything... tried three cables and four ports on two switches so far | 19:29 |

| ActionParsnip | Softcoder: can you boot to root recovery mode? Is this a wubi install? | 19:32 |

| __yhvh__ | hey, is there no way to let the motd be longer than 80 columns? | 19:32 |

| terry | softcoder: You would have to tell us more about your hardware and software for us to advise you in any meaningful way. | 19:32 |
| softcoder | then it says invalid boot disk if i swap boot order | 19:33 |
| softcoder | ok... if i pastebin dfisk will that help? | 19:33 |

| monkeyD | terry: nvida-common, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, xserver-xorg-video-nv, jocky-common, jocky-gtk | 19:33 |

| monkeyD | terry: desktop looks ok, but the black plane behind docky sucks | 19:51 |
| terry | monkeyD: What is a docky ? | 19:51 |
| soreau | monkeyD: That's because you need a compositing manager running such as compiz | 19:51 |

| terry | soreau: He does NOT have the nvidia driver installed. | 19:52 |

Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 20:20 |

| keyUp | should I set first apache user as owner of the var/www folder? | 20:20 |
| Polah | ActionParsnip: He said he wanted them to be able to upload. | 20:20 |

| roeland | so, i went and recursavely changed permissions on the "/etc" folder to 775 | 20:22 |
| keyUp | guys is this safe? to make apache user owner of the whole /var/www folder then make chmod 766 to the folder? | 20:22 |
| roeland | now i cant connect via ssh putty anymore | 20:22 |
| roeland | anyone have any idea why? | 20:22 |
| smw | roeland, why would you do that? | 20:22 |
| Polah | KeyUp: Someone said to use 776 which I guess would make more sense. You'll could just apply 766 to the folder you want their uploads to go in, rather than your entire web directory. | 20:22 |
| smw | roeland, it could be that sshd freaked out that its key was public... | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | roeland: sshd stopped? | 20:23 |
| WeThePeople | polah, woo hoo, thankyou | 20:23 |
| roeland | im not sure | 20:23 |
| Pici | roeland: Again, why did you do that? | 20:23 |
| llutz | 766 makes no sense at all Polah | 20:23 |
| roeland | i can get in on it locally | 20:23 |
| roeland | well when im at the machine | 20:23 |
| roeland | but i get the error "network error: software caused connection abort" | 20:23 |
| freeburn | i used to 777 everywhere:) | 20:23 |
| roeland | when i try to putty | 20:23 |
| smw | roeland, do sudo restart sshd on the server | 20:23 |
| Pici | !enter | roeland | 20:23 |
| ubottu | roeland: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:23 |
| keyUp | guys pls help :) | 20:24 |
| roeland | i will try this now smw. | 20:24 |
| TvL | roeland, I think there's a likely chance that you've broken a lot more than only sshd | 20:24 |
| keyUp | one say 766 other 766 no sense :)) | 20:24 |
| smw | roeland, I agree with TvL | 20:24 |
| smw | roeland, I suggest a reinstall... | 20:24 |
| Pici | roeland: This likely will require a reinstall of Ubuntu to fix. | 20:24 |
| Polah | KeyUp: Llutz, sorry I meant 776 that second time as well. Apply 776 to the folder you want them to upload to. | 20:24 |
| llutz | keyUp: directories should be 7. 5 or 1 but not 6, 4 | 20:25 |
| TvL | roeland, I'd recommend a reinstallation as well | 20:25 |
| keyUp | so pls anyone can tell me I want this: I have few websites almost all of them use uploading of photos from visitors and visitors must be able to vote and make coments (change content of the website) so what should I do with owner and permisions to enable this pls | 20:25 |

| freeburn | keyup:chown apache | 20:26 |
| roeland | oh.. wow ok, is there an easy way to reinstall? | 20:26 |
| TvL | Pici, he has, he's just focused on sshd now... he's also having problems with sudo now obviously | 20:26 |
| Riiick | oks ;DD | 20:26 |
| freeburn | that will change the owner of the folder | 20:26 |
| keyUp | :S | 20:26 |
| roeland | i dont wanna redo all my apache mysql.. local network shares.. etc | 20:26 |
| keyUp | ok | 20:26 |
| keyUp | then? | 20:26 |
| TvL | Pici, if you can't log on... you cant see issues :P | 20:26 |
| Pici | TvL: :) | 20:26 |
| erUSUL | keyUp: a directory needs executable bit set to be usefull or none will be able to cd to it | 20:26 |
| smw | roeland, well, did you backup etc before doing that? | 20:26 |
| keyUp | should I and how to give permision to apache to write in the folder? | 20:26 |
| llutz | Polah: set a dir with files in it to 444 and try a "cat dir/file" | 20:26 |
| tangeers_ | bbak | 20:26 |
| roeland | sudo mentions something about having sudoers needing to be 044 | 20:26 |
| smw | roeland, if not, you should backup your current configs and reinstall. | 20:27 |
| Pakbaz | hi | 20:27 |
| Pakbaz | What is the most common page layout for making pdf files? (For example A4,A3,Letter...) | 20:27 |
| maco | roeland: because /etc/sudoers is under /etc and so needs to be chmod'd back to a safe permission | 20:27 |
| maco | roeland: and ssh wont work because ssh configs need to be protected as well | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | keyUp: i suggest you look into unix file permissions a little to understand the nu | 20:27 |
| erUSUL | keyUp: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions | 20:27 |
| Jonnn___ | Does anyone know why my desktop is split into 2 sides where the left side is crashed? | 20:27 |
| roeland | what if i did 044 to all of etc? could that solve my problem? | 20:27 |
| keyUp | ok | 20:27 |
| Riiick | smw, voce sabe instalar o jdownloader ?? | 20:27 |
| Pici | roeland: No. | 20:27 |
| genii-around | Pakbaz: A4, in portrait | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | keyUp: numbers people are suggesting to you | 20:27 |
| keyUp | I will read but I wanted suggestion so my websites ndn server stay secure from hacking | 20:28 |
| Pakbaz | genii-around:thanks | 20:28 |
| roeland | ic. btw, im pretty much completley new to linux.. etc, its on a local test box for doing web development | 20:28 |
| Polah | KeyUp: Octal permissions use a format of OGP (Owner, Group, Public), the values you specify are either 4 for read, 2 for write and 1 for execute permissions. You add these together to give more than one of these permissions. Hence 776 will allow read/write/execute for the owner and group and read/write for public. | 20:28 |
| smw | roeland, not that easy. Everything needs different permissions | 20:28 |
| maco | roeland: no | 20:28 |
| TvL | roeland: save your entire /etc... always handy to keep around after a reinstall to check your configuration files. Also make a mysqldump of your databases... You might even choose to backup /var/lib/mysql (with its permissions!!!!!) and put it back afterwards.... Think about everything | 20:28 |
| Jonnn___ | Can someone help my with half of my desktop being messed up? | 20:28 |
| keyUp | so if i set whole www directory to apache owner and if i give apache write permissions in www directory is this secure for my server and websites? | 20:28 |
| freeburn | keyUp: its secure | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Jonnn___: details please | 20:29 |
| roeland | damn alright. didnt realize giving 775 to all of etc would mess things up like this, apache and mysql still running fine btw | 20:29 |
| llutz | keyUp: no, giving full write-access to the web-server isn't a good idea | 20:29 |
| roeland | my network shares through samba are still working also | 20:29 |
| keyUp | ok | 20:29 |
| roeland | its a local machine, no outside access | 20:29 |
| keyUp | so 776 will do? | 20:29 |
| keyUp | llutz, so what to do? | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | roeland: try manipulating the services | 20:29 |
| Jonnn___ | The left half of my desktop is doing that thing where when you drag a window over it it will show a trail | 20:29 |
| Jonnn___ | But the right half works fine | 20:29 |
| llutz | !permission | keyUp | 20:29 |
| ubottu | keyUp: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 20:29 |
| sirgad | Hey. I'm trying to modify the files in the LiveCD for 10.10 x64 through UCK. I need to know where to add values to do certain things from the Terminal. Anyone able to help, or push me to somewhere i can find it? :) | 20:30 |
| keyUp | llutz, you suggest to give write permision only in directories needed? | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Jonnn___: what video chip? | 20:30 |
| llutz | keyUp: keep permissions as limited as possible, yes | 20:30 |
| Jonnn___ | built in intel one | 20:30 |
| Jonnn___ | It just started, it was fine before | 20:30 |
| keyUp | ok thanks all | 20:31 |
| Jonnn___ | Oh, and this started when I uninstalled a macbuntu theme | 20:31 |
| smw | roeland, why did you change permissions to all of /etc? | 20:31 |
| llutz | keyUp: and on directories, use 755/775 but not 766/776. read "man chmod" why | 20:31 |
| Polah | KeyUp: Yes. Apply it recursively to your entire web directory or just the folder you want people to upload into | 20:31 |
| BabyGirl | does anyone experience a pop up from Opera telling you something about enabeling cache i preferences,,i mean by that UserJS Sorage Quota,,what would be that configuration ? | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Jonnn___: what is the outp of: lsb_release -d | 20:31 |
| roeland | ActionParnersip: what do you mean by manipulating the services? | 20:31 |
| Loshki | roeland: well, you've learned 2 important lessons: 1) backup your system if you don't want to risk having to reinstall from scratch and 2) don't mess with permissions in /etc if you don't know what you're doing... | 20:31 |
| roeland | loshki: that is true! | 20:32 |
| Jonnn___ | Ubuntu 10.10 | 20:32 |
| Polah | What's the d on file permissions for? | 20:32 |
| Pici | Polah: directory | 20:32 |
| llutz | Polah: its not permissions, its a dir | 20:32 |
| llutz | Polah: 1st character | 20:33 |
| roeland | loshki: the reason i did 775 and then 777 to /etc folder was to allow me to adjust etc files from my windows machine through the share i set up via samba | 20:33 |
| Polah | LLutz: Yeah, i.e. it's drwx. Obvious now that it would stand for directory | 20:33 |
| Vinconzo | hi | 20:33 |
| freeburn | roeland: whats wrong with putty? | 20:33 |
| naomi_ | I have Ubuntu 10.04, installed it with Wubi I think it's called. How long can I use this for? Like is it better to install and partition it properly? | 20:33 |
| TvL | roeland, use winscp and logon as root? | 20:34 |
| smw | roeland, that is considered a bad idea period | 20:34 |
| roeland | freeburn: convenience | 20:34 |
| freeburn | naomi: yes you should it in a separate partition to get the real experience | 20:34 |
| TvL | yeah roeland, I have to agree with smw... you should not do that | 20:34 |
| === xardas008_ is now known as xardas008 | ||
| roeland | TvL: yah , im in agreeance now!! problem is i made a noobie mistake | 20:35 |
| Polah | naomi_: Using wubi is fine, but if you format your Windows partition then you will lose your Ubuntu install as well. The same applies that you will not be able to access it if your Windows bootloader fails for whatever reason. | 20:35 |
| freeburn | roeland:for usnig notepad? | 20:35 |
| roeland | notepad++ | 20:35 |
| roeland | duh | 20:35 |
| Loshki | roeland: fwiw, I agree with the others. Reinstall! Failing that, restore permissions to /etc/ssh/* and /etc/sudoers, and expect other "surprises" | 20:35 |
| keyUp | llutz, polah thanks ill read chmod man | 20:35 |
| roeland | loshki: i am going to, ive learned alot already in the process of setting it all up | 20:35 |
| freeburn | roeland:come to the dark side...unleash ViM | 20:35 |
| freeburn | :) | 20:35 |
| TvL | roeland, been there done that ;-) | 20:35 |
| smw | roeland, well, you learned two things from this. First, backup (with permissions) /etc. Second don't go changing permissions of systems files... ever | 20:35 |
| roeland | freeburn: ive considered it, but i would have to learn ViM ;) | 20:36 |
| smw | roeland, nano is easy to use. | 20:36 |
| smw | roeland, or if you are on an ubuntu desktop, you can edit with a graphical editor over ssh | 20:36 |
| Polah | I have a file in my system root named vmlinuz, would this be a remnant of my attempting to install GRUB? I don't recall seeing at before. | 20:36 |
| roeland | the good news is this linux box is only for internal web development. so me messing this up isnt nearly the end of hte world | 20:36 |
| Vinconzo | so i've tried several broadcom drivers, (STA and b43) and neither of them work | 20:37 |
| Pici | roeland: I've been using linux for about 10 years now and I don't know how to use vim. nano works fine. | 20:37 |
| llutz | Polah: its usually a symlink to the latest kernel in /boot | 20:37 |
| freeburn | roeland: you know i got a job when i was in college only because i knew vim:) | 20:37 |
| roeland | im runnin windows 7 on my work machine, editing files through netbeans. since i mapped the www root on my windws 7 machine | 20:37 |
| TvL | Polah, it's probably a symlink and it should be there | 20:37 |
| Vinconzo | It doesn't say that there's anything wrong with it, and using ndiswrapper shows that it is recognized and the hardware is there | 20:37 |
| smw | roeland, I have been using it for a decade also and I only know how to use the same features nano has in vim ;-). | 20:37 |
| Riiick | Can someone help me? | 20:38 |
| roeland | so, nano is "like" vim? | 20:38 |
| naomi_ | I want to have both Windows and Ubuntu. And the first time I tried partitioning them i didn't know what i was doing so I used Wubi instead. HOw do I go about partitioning them properly, deleting this ubunti I have now etc? I don't want to lsoe everything I have on this. | 20:38 |
| Vinconzo | but it does not show up anywhere else (eg. iwconfig or NetworkManager) | 20:38 |
| Polah | roeland: It's like it in that both at command-line based editors. | 20:38 |
| TvL | Riiick, with what? | 20:38 |
| smw | roeland, it is another text editor. It is an easy one. | 20:38 |
| BabyGirl | does anyone experience a pop up from Opera telling you something about enabeling cache i preferences,,i mean by that UserJS Sorage Quota,,what would be that configuration ? | 20:38 |
| Tetsuo55 | does anyone know hot to fix this error | 20:40 |
| Tetsuo55 | bash: line 230: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dell-software-temp-bootstrap.list: Permission denied | 20:40 |
| Tetsuo55 | i get it when running: wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi | bash | 20:40 |
| TvL | Tetsuo55, I guest it installs software, you might want to put sudo in front? | 20:40 |
| sirgad | hey. Anyone can advise how to modify settings on a LiveCD to add certain default settings? Using UCK but the info I need relates to how to use the Terminal to make gconf changes. I also need to know which settings to change to effect my desired changes. | 20:41 |
| smw | roeland, I suggest you dual boot ubuntu on your workstation. It is much easier to remotely administer linux servers with linux. | 20:41 |
| freeburn | Testsuo55:run it as root | 20:41 |
| TvL | Tetsuo55, be sure it is legit!!!! | 20:41 |
| Tetsuo55 | TvL: even with sudo the error is the same | 20:41 |
| Riiick | Someone get me a doubt in time to install the jdownloader? | 20:41 |
| llutz | testi: sudo -i and run it then | 20:41 |
| freeburn | roeland:its true that vim and emacs are weird compared to other text editors... | 20:42 |
| TvL | well | 20:42 |
| llutz | Tetsuo55: ^ | 20:42 |
| freeburn | but they are damn powerful | 20:42 |
| smw | Riiick, your sentences do not make sense. | 20:42 |
| TvL | Tetsuo55, you must give root rights to the bash program | 20:42 |
| freeburn | and worth the effort to learn it | 20:42 |
| TvL | Tetsuo55, not the wget | 20:42 |
| Riiick | wath ? | 20:42 |
| Riiick | why ?? | 20:42 |
| TvL | Tetsuo55, become root like some people already mentioned: sudo -i | 20:42 |
| TvL | Tetsuo55, then your command again | 20:42 |
| === Gurty is now known as Zou | ||
| Jordan_U | llutz: freeburn: sudo is not the solution to any error mentioning permissions. You should not suggest running a command as root unless you specifically know that it is intended to be run that way. | 20:43 |
| Polah | TvL: He doesn't need to sudo -i unless he'll be running multiple commands. Just prepending sudo would do | 20:43 |
| llutz | Jordan_U: in this case it is. | 20:43 |
| Tetsuo55 | ok that helps | 20:43 |
| TvL | Polah, I see, but he's using a pipe | 20:43 |
| Tetsuo55 | still some errors but those are fixable thanks | 20:43 |
| alsuna | naomi_: in short: backup your system; make space on you hdd; download the ubuntu cd; boot from the cd; install ubuntu to the free space | 20:43 |
| Riiick | why not make sense? to doubt with time to move the terminal u | 20:43 |
| TvL | Polah, I don't think the command after the pipe will have root rights... | 20:44 |
| Tetsuo55 | or not | 20:44 |
| freeburn | Jordan_U: it seems like adding a repo in repo.d....so sudo should be the solution... | 20:44 |
| Tetsuo55 | can i make it more verbose somehow? | 20:44 |
| Riiick | why not make sense? to doubt with time to move the terminal u | 20:44 |
| llutz | Polah: that sudo would ba valid for "wget" but not the " bash" | 20:44 |
| Jordan_U | llutz: Indeed, sorry about that. | 20:45 |
| Polah | TvL: He doesn't need to sudo -i unless he'll be running multiple commands. Just prepending sudo would do | 20:45 |
| Polah | Oops, llutz, TVL: I assumed it applied to the entire line and only needed to be respecified for a new line or && | 20:45 |
| llutz | Polah: that sudo would be valid for "wget" only but not the " bash" | 20:46 |
| TvL | Polah, llutz nope... :D | 20:46 |

| Tetsuo55 | damn | 20:46 |
| TvL | llutz, sorry... should have included you | 20:46 |
| TvL | llutz, shouldn't .... damn... | 20:46 |
| Polah | ||arifaX, hold on and I shall look | 20:47 |
| ||arifaX | Polah: thanks | 20:47 |
| jlh2206 | You can always send the password of a sudoer to the sudo command in a one-liner: echo password | sudo -S command | 20:47 |
| TvL | llutz, you mentioned the same to polah | 20:47 |
| Polah | ||arifaX, I have drwxr-xr-x, which I believe is 755. | 20:47 |

| TvL | ||arifaX, polah: my homedir is 'chmod 700', but it is encrypted using ecrypts... so it's a mountpoint | 20:48 |
| T_N_T | hello, I need help with Skype on 10.10 , the problem I am having is that the sound doesn't always work when I am in chat and I can't figure out why it won't work sometimes, this is on 10.10 64 bit on an HP pavillion DV7 188dx | 20:48 |
| smw | ||arifaX, don't forget to make sure the owner and group is correct. | 20:49 |
| TvL | I think you should be able to make your homedir chmod 700... since it's yours? I don't know if this assumption is correct | 20:49 |
| llutz | why should a home-dir be 755? no other user should have right to enter/read user-dirs | 20:49 |
| Polah | TvL, ||arifaX : 700 would make it inaccessible to anyone apart from the owner | 20:49 |
| ||arifaX | smw: yeah it is. just made a lot of changes for finding an error (which was an apparmor cups-pdf thing) but now all is fine thanks to Polah - thanks all | 20:49 |

| stathis | does anyone have problems with the Skype log in now? | 20:50 |
| Polah | TvL: Certainly good if you don't want anyone finding your stuff. I don't store anything in my home directory anyway, so it'd be a waste for me to do that (apart from settings which go there) | 20:51 |
| TvL | Polah, why don't you store anything in your homedir? | 20:51 |
| smw | stathis, I am logged into skype fine now | 20:51 |

| Polah | TvL: I have a secondary hard drive for all my data stuff; downloads, schoolwork, music and so on. | 20:52 |
| smw | stathis, when I have problems, I like to run killall skype; sleep 2; killall -9 skype and then run skype again. | 20:52 |
| coz_ | hey all | 20:52 |
| Polah | Hello, Coz_ | 20:52 |
| smw | stathis, problems logging in or talking to people. | 20:53 |
| stathis | smw, I used force quit because It frozw and now I cannot log in. | 20:53 |
| TvL | Polah, I see! I must admit I have a secondary filesystem as well, mounted on /data, owned by tvl:tvl and chmod 700 :P | 20:53 |
| coz_ | Polah, hey guy | 20:53 |
| stathis | smw, it says server connect failed | 20:53 |
| smw | stathis, open a terminal and type killall -9 skype | 20:53 |
| pushpop | Is there any application out there besides dropbox where I can create a public link to any file on my computer that can be downloaded from the internet? | 20:53 |
| smw | stathis, restarting should also work. | 20:53 |
| smw | pushpop, dropbox is the best. | 20:54 |
| Polah | TvL: I could set myself as just the owner of that drive, I suppose, as no one else actually has to access this computer. | 20:54 |
| lastent | Hi, is there any project or something about chinese chars recognition as an input? | 20:54 |
| pushpop | yea, nothing else out there though? | 20:54 |
| smw | pushpop, you could host it on your local computer, but that is rarely practical | 20:54 |
| stathis | smw, I tried everything. I also reinstalled the program | 20:54 |
| smw | pushpop, you have a few other options, but none of them are easy. | 20:54 |
| alsuna | stathis: i've been having the same problem for the last hour... | 20:55 |
| smw | pushpop, nor do they work as well. What is the problem with dropbox? | 20:55 |
| TvL | Polah, that's a good practice if you ask me... sooner or later you will give someone an ftp account, and all stuff will be visible... | 20:55 |
| pushpop | Large files | 20:55 |
| pushpop | no enough space | 20:55 |
| pushpop | not* | 20:55 |
| stathis | alsuna, should we guess it is a skype inc. issue? | 20:55 |
| smw | pushpop, why do you want this? | 20:56 |
| smw | pushpop, you could manually use rsync to sync with a remote server you control... | 20:56 |
| pushpop | often find my self needs to send large files | 20:56 |
| undercontrol | Is there a kernel option that would allow any user (not just root) to bind processes to ports < 1024? | 20:56 |
| pushpop | yes an ftp could do it | 20:56 |
| pushpop | id rather have it downloaded by a direct url | 20:56 |
| Polah | TvL: I don't need FTP to my personal computer. Although I've set up FTP on a VPS I own and taken the precaution of making the account they use unable to use sudo and the FTP is locked into their home directory. | 20:56 |
| dajhorn | undercontrol: Look at the authbind package. There is more than one way to do this. | 20:57 |
| smw | pushpop, I use sftp to transfer files from home | 20:57 |
| alsuna | stathis: probably; i won't jump into action about it just now and hope it's a skype problem they'll resolve soon | 20:57 |
| sirgad | Hey, Ok, i'm in gconf-editor in UCK modifying a LiveCD of Ub10.04x64. Which values do I edit to disable the startup items? Any able to help with this? :) | 20:58 |
| smw | pushpop, maybe rsync to an http server? | 20:58 |
| pushpop | maybe | 20:58 |
| pushpop | yea that sounds like an option | 20:58 |
| TvL | Polah, that's good, also good to set the shell: /bin/false. Only thing I wanted to say was: requirements change. You can't predict the future... If you make it as tight as possible from the beginning, you will most likely run into less problems in the future :-) | 20:58 |
| dajhorn | undercontrol: Don't send personal messages in this channel. Ask the question here. | 20:58 |
| Polah | TvL: What's would setting it to /bin/false do? | 20:58 |
| smw | pushpop, I just am not sure what you are doing. I just sftp like I said. sftp works over ssh so no new software is needed on the server, just the client | 20:58 |
| TvL | Polah, you're ftp user cannot logon using ssh | 20:59 |
| pushpop | ok thank you | 20:59 |
| Polah | TvL: Oh, thought it might be that. I need them to be able to though to restart certain things if the server is rebooted for whatever reason and I'm not available. Is there an option to lock their shell into their home directory as well? | 20:59 |
| TvL | Polah, because it will not get a shell. I've even put the 'AllowUsers tvl' on my private server | 20:59 |
| stathis | alsuna, I hope so.. they cannnot leave linux community without skype | 20:59 |
| undercontrol | dajhorn: can u say one way to do this ? | 21:00 |
| dajhorn | undercontrol: Go install the package, and then come back and ask questions about what you don't understand. | 21:00 |
| llutz | Polah: http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian | 21:00 |
| Polah | llutz: Thank you very much. I'll have a look over that. | 21:01 |
| KramB | Could anyone help me with the Mac4Linux package? | 21:01 |
| smw | Polah, not sure if this is what you are looking for http://www.pizzashack.org/rssh/ | 21:01 |
| TvL | Polah, AllowUsers is from ssh.... I have no experience of chrooting users to their homedir using ssh, but a quick google showed that there are a lot of posts/howto's about it | 21:01 |
| stathis | alsuna, smw thank you both! lets hope the problem will be resolved soon! :) | 21:01 |

| alsuna | smw: what is the difference between rmdir and rm -r ? | 21:10 |
| smw | alsuna, rmdir does not work on directories with files in them | 21:10 |
| WeThePeople | terry, yes | 21:10 |
| sirgad | Anyone help with modifying gconf settings? :) Pretty please :) | 21:10 |
| smw | alsuna, rm -r is dangerous! | 21:10 |
| Polah | !repeat | sirgad | 21:10 |
| ubottu | sirgad: 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/ | 21:10 |
| maco | alsuna: rmdir only works on empty dirs | 21:11 |
| terry | alsuna: rmdir will only delete an empty directory rm -rf will delete one that has files and directories. | 21:11 |
| sirgad | ah, apologies, new to irc. will be more patient. | 21:11 |
| smw | alsuna, also, don't forget to add v (rm -rv) so that you can see the files being deleted. | 21:11 |
| erUSUL | rm -r is enough.- -f forces removal or read only items | 21:11 |
| eggbertx_laptop | I realize that this isn't a ubuntu issue, and that this is a gnome thing (I had the same issue in Fedora) but I'm on a laptop, and I want to have it default to middle click when I tap two fingers, and right click when I tap three, but it defaults to the opposite. I know I can do "synclient TapButton2=2 TapButton3=3" to set it to that, but if I close the lid, it goes back to default. Is there any way I can set that to the de | 21:12 |
| eggbertx_laptop | fault? | 21:12 |
| eggbertx_laptop | and #gnome is practically comatose | 21:12 |
| alsuna | smw is it just dangerous because you don't get to see and confirm what you are deleted? | 21:13 |
| smw | alsuna, it is dangerous because it is very easy to delete stuff you did not intend to delete. | 21:13 |
| smw | alsuna, I use -v so I can see if I did something wrong. | 21:13 |
| maco | alsuna: if you want to see and confirm, add -i... then itll ask for each file "are you sure?" | 21:13 |
| smw | alsuna, but by the time you see it, you can only reduce the damage. | 21:14 |
| Polah | eggbertx_laptop, it default when you close the laptop (suspend?) or turn it off completely? | 21:14 |
| sirgad | Ah, maybe this is a better question: anyone know what string to search for in gconf-editor to pull up values that toggle startup items? | 21:14 |
| eggbertx_laptop | Polah: I have it set so when I close the lid, it does nothing | 21:14 |

| naomi_ | I don't know how to upgrade or how it works. Like do you lose everything on your current version? Pictures or things like that. | 21:22 |
| maco | naomi_: no, upgrade just updates what's outside of /home | 21:22 |
| Gatetech | i just had to install a 2nd linux friendly card. | 21:22 |
| maco | naomi_: and if you were to reinstall, you could choose in the manual partitioning options to not format /, in which case everything in /home would be saved | 21:22 |
| Polah | naomi_: No, it just upgrades the system itself. You shouldn't lose everything. Update Manager should tell you if there's a newer version available and give you an option to upgrade if you run it. If not you can do sudo do-release-upgrade to do it from command line | 21:22 |

| D4V3R | can I ask a quick question please? | 21:54 |
| ralgozino | hello people! one question.. does Ubuntu show icons in popup menus or is my application problem?? | 21:54 |

| ubottu | D4V3R: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 21:55 |

| mr_orange_ | switch10_ what do I change it to to stop the problem | 21:55 |
| maco | Nonamehero2: i'd boot from a live cd and run "blkid" to get the uuid for the partitions on your system, then compare them to what's in /etc/fstab and make sure they match | 21:56 |
| switch10_ | under crititcal battery type "nothing" | 21:56 |
| D4V3R | I had ubuntu installed on a machine, it ran in to problems so i cloned it to another hd and put it in another totally different machine and it seems to have booted up fine, is this normal for ubuntu or have I been lucky or can I expect problems | 21:56 |
| D4V3R | thanks people | 21:56 |
| maco | Nonamehero2: its looking for a certain uuid and not finding it which either means its wrong (could happen if you modify the partition table) or that your disk has failed and that partition has gone kablooey | 21:56 |
| mr_orange_ | switch10_ thank you | 21:57 |
| Nonamehero2 | Will it work from a linux mint 10 live cd? | 21:57 |
| terry | D4V3R: Pretty much normal, if you don't have problems now, you shouldn't have problems in future | 21:57 |
| maco | Nonamehero2: sure | 21:57 |
| switch10_ | D4V3R I do it all the time. I used to test computer componenets and I had about 4 hdd's between 10 or so systems. | 21:58 |
| D4V3R | ah excellent, I only did it as a test, but nice to know I should be safe and can bin the old unit | 21:58 |
| terry | D4V3R: It's because most all drivers or modules now-days are loaded on demand | 21:59 |
| terry | D4V3R: ... as it boots | 21:59 |
| D4V3R | just for info, its for my Nagios and its nice to know I can keep an updated clone and throw it in another machine | 21:59 |

| Nonamehero2 | how do i run blkid? | 22:04 |
| g15 | can i copy a ubuntu paration with swap and etc and boot it off from other hard drive? | 22:04 |
| g15 | is that possible? | 22:04 |
| domevlo | So I got this new laptop, and I (naturally) installed ubuntu 10.10 on it. The only problem is that my /usr/share/i18n/ directory is completely empty, and nothing can find my UTF-8 character map file, so things keep throwing errors around. | 22:04 |
| domevlo | I was wondering, is there a package I can install that will provide charmap files? | 22:05 |
| mickster04 | g15: probabyl but why? it would probably be just as sensible to normal install then copy user data across | 22:05 |
| th0r | g15: while it is possible, it isn't as easy as you make it sound | 22:05 |
| g15 | is there a conf of settings i can copy over | 22:06 |

| hornyman | how do i check private messages | 22:10 |
| hornyman | oh | 22:10 |
| jorn | iceroot, mickster04: no, i'm searching for the inverse way... i already know the target's mac address just not its ip (as it might change due to dhcp and cause i carry both PCs to work and back) | 22:11 |
| mickster04 | jorn: well yeah but do a scan and then check which ip also has the nmac u recognise | 22:11 |

| Polah | Nonamehero2, change --root-directory to point to /boot on the drive you want to boot from (or you boot partition if you have it separate) and specify the drive you want it to go on afterwards | 22:27 |

| RichardoCrispus | Any suggestions? | 22:57 |
| Miciah | Hello. Is there anything I might do that would fix 'Failed to fetch ... Size mismatch' errors from apt (apt-get or aptitude)? | 23:01 |
| maco | Miciah: is that from install/upgrade or from update? | 23:01 |
| Miciah | maco: Install. | 23:01 |
| maco | Miciah: try "sudo apt-get update" | 23:01 |
| Miciah | maco: Done that, repeatedly. | 23:01 |
| Miciah | maco: I have a fresh install of natty. I'm reinstalling a lot of packages, but many of them give me that error. | 23:01 |
| maco | Miciah: oh. then in that case id guess maybe the server is being weird. you could try a different mirror i guess | 23:02 |
| nopf | Miciah: or wait a day or so... :) | 23:02 |
| Miciah | maco: I've tried two, including us.archive.ubuntu.com. I could try another mirror. | 23:02 |
| terry | RichardoCrispus: I just installed on one of those not long ago. Worked fine.. You might check the media. Or see if any other boot disk works in that CDROM drive, (make sure the drive is ok). | 23:02 |
| Miciah | nopf: I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks. | 23:02 |
| nopf | oh | 23:02 |
| maco | Miciah: i think us.archive and archive are the same | 23:02 |
| RichardoCrispus | The drive is ok | 23:03 |
| RichardoCrispus | And I can boot Knoppix | 23:03 |
| terry | RichardoCrispus: You have it set up to boot to CDROM, right? | 23:03 |
| RichardoCrispus | Yes | 23:03 |
| terry | o | 23:03 |
| Miciah | maco: I also tried archive.linux.duke.edu. I could try another mirror... | 23:03 |
| Noble | Is it possible to sync all google content (calendar, mail, contacts) into Evolution in some "exchange"-way? Put inn your uname/pw and *Wham* there it is? | 23:03 |
| terry | RichardoCrispus: Well, must be problem with the media. | 23:03 |
| RichardoCrispus | I can also boot Zorin, but I do have graphical issues | 23:03 |
| Miciah | maco: I did verify with curl -I and apt-cache showpkg, and the file sizes do indeed differ. | 23:03 |
| maco | Miciah: is apt-get update giving you errors when you runi t? | 23:03 |
| maco | *run it? | 23:03 |
| terry | RichardoCrispus: I don't know what zorin is. | 23:03 |
| RichardoCrispus | It's a new Ubuntu derivative, based around a windows 7 UI | 23:04 |
| bing | ? | 23:04 |
| terry | RichardoCrispus: Try Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. (You'll be glad you did.) | 23:04 |
| RichardoCrispus | I'll give that a go | 23:04 |
| Miciah | maco: maco Yes, but not for the Ubuntu repositories, only for ftp.us.debian.org and apt.duke4.net. | 23:05 |
| RichardoCrispus | It's for my parents, XP's dying and they just need a low powered computer for internet | 23:05 |
| maco | Miciah: wait...you have debian and ubuntu repositories mixed? | 23:05 |
| ablmf | I'm installing ubuntu | 23:05 |
| Miciah | maco: Yes, but I haven't installed anything from Debian at this point, I have Ubuntu pinned, and I've tried apt-get install -t natty and -t maverick. | 23:06 |
| ablmf | But as I have nothing to do, I opened the "how fast.ogg" on the desktop. | 23:06 |
| ablmf | Now the system stopped responding. | 23:06 |
| ablmf | Is there any way to save the installation? | 23:07 |
| RichardoCrispus | Btw, how is ubuntu/Windows 7 networking? (Ie being able to access public folders on each os) | 23:07 |
| Miciah | maco: Anyway, the Content-Length from the mirror and the Size in the package listing definitely differ (I checked with curl -I and apt-cache showpkg). | 23:08 |
| shaosin | Anyone knows how to install drftpd? | 23:08 |
| tbruff13 | Are their any other offline translators for ubuntu | 23:10 |
| Miciah | 'apt-cache show', rather, not 'apt-cache showpkg'. | 23:11 |
| Miciah | I just tried another mirror (http://mirrors.xmission.com/ubuntu/), and I have the same problem (and see the same discrepancy between the package listing and actual file sizes). | 23:12 |
| alien_ | anyone know how to list all software within a given PPA? | 23:14 |
| Miciah | How is it that this problem is not generating enourmous amounts of complaints from other Ubuntu users? Maybe there's an evil proxy interfering with my connection (both at home and at university!?)? | 23:14 |
| maco | Miciah: it sounds like you're having a local apt-cache problem, but i dont know how to fix it :-/ | 23:14 |
| Miciah | maco: OK, well thanks for trying. I'll poke around some more. | 23:16 |
| zvacet | alien_: if you installed ppa then you can find all ppa software in synaptic | 23:17 |

| victorhugo289 | hello | 23:32 |
| victorhugo289 | Guys, I need some help | 23:32 |
| victorhugo289 | I've been finding a strange couple of files in some of my Windows shared folders: khy and qffhtx.exe | 23:33 |
| victorhugo289 | Now, I use Ubuntu, so I'm not that scared of those files here, but I am when I am in Windows | 23:33 |
| victorhugo289 | I just ran qffhtx.exe using Wine and guess what? | 23:34 |
| dotlegend | what is a recommended backup program to backup my home folder at certain times? | 23:34 |
| victorhugo289 | A strange looking applet appeared on the top panel, saying "Script paused"| | 23:34 |
| victorhugo289 | How can I access the script?\ | 23:35 |
| ray24 | can you improve cognitive ability by playing Ubuntu logic games? | 23:35 |
| victorhugo289 | I double click the .exe file and all I see is the "Unable to open archive" message. | 23:35 |
| victorhugo289 | I can't see what's inside | 23:35 |
| needhelp1 | victorhugo289, your on linux trying to run an .exe file? | 23:35 |
| victorhugo289 | I am on Ubuntu trying to OPEN an .exe file and see what it is about | 23:36 |
| victorhugo289 | I know they don't run, I feel safe because of that. | 23:36 |
| victorhugo289 | But I ran it using WINE | 23:36 |
| fredd1 | ubottu come faccio a registrarmi sul canale che mi hai detto | 23:36 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:36 |
| victorhugo289 | And there appeared a strange looking applet on the top panel!! | 23:36 |
| Tongpow | what do you have to use to change login manager themes in 10.10 | 23:36 |
| victorhugo289 | It says "Script paused" and it says "Exit" | 23:36 |
| victorhugo289 | Anyone?? | 23:37 |
| Tongpow | cant seem to find anything that works in compiz,art manager..etc | 23:37 |
| keyUp | i have very annoying problem | 23:38 |
| Polah | victorhugo289, you can open .exe files with Archive Manager. I suggest ending the process and WINE through System Monitor. | 23:38 |
| keyUp | it was all fine, then today because of some reason when I plug off power cable from my laptop screen go darker | 23:38 |
| Polah | !ask | keyUp | 23:38 |
| ubottu | keyUp: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:38 |
| shaosin | Polah u know what version of drftpd its better to install on ubunto | 23:39 |
| shaosin | ? | 23:39 |
| keyUp | in power managment it is unset to go blank but still it goes.. | 23:39 |
| Polah | shaosin: What is that? Is it for running an FTP server? | 23:39 |
| needhelp1 | keyup, please try to ask your entire question in one return, its hard to read fragmented questions | 23:39 |
| Polah | shaosin: If yes, I might recommend using vsftpd. I don't have experience with any other FTP server software | 23:40 |

| jayant | hello everyone. I have ubuntu 10.10 and I want to install xubuntu because of old hardware. Installing the xubuntu-desktop package will do or do i need to remove all gnome and kde packages as given on xubuntu's website ? | 23:42 |
| === Guest61986 is now known as mikeb | ||
| bastidrazor | jayant: if you want xubuntu only, then uninstalling gnome and kde packages is required. | 23:42 |
| th0r | jayant: just install the desktop...having gnome and kde on the drive won't slow anything down unless you use it | 23:43 |
| Polah | needhelp1: Oh, is drftpd an FTP client? I assumed it was for running an FTP server | 23:43 |
| th0r | jayant: (use them) | 23:43 |
| WeThePeople | are there any good bookmarks organizers out there | 23:43 |
| jayant | bastidrazor: thanks for the reply | 23:43 |
| Polah | WeThePeople, Firefox has a built-in bookmark manager at least. | 23:43 |
| Nonamehero21 | Is there an easy way to modify the grub boot loader? | 23:44 |
| needhelp1 | Polah, no idea, i just know that for me, filezilla has always been great. Filezilla has a client and server so it may be worth looking into, what are you trying to do? | 23:44 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 | Nonamehero21 | 23:44 |
| ubottu | Nonamehero21: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 23:44 |
| jayant | th0r: thank you. Are applications for xubuntu differet. Does this mean that If i run applications that i have already installed on ubuntu then they will run slow and i if i install them for xubuntu, then they will work fine? | 23:44 |
| needhelp1 | jayant, what are you running in ubuntu that is running slow? | 23:45 |
| Polah | needhelp1: Ah, it's a Java-based FTP server. | 23:45 |
| th0r | jayant: the gnome and kde apps will still use their libs and run slower. For max performance you should look into the xfce apps...mousepad, thunar, xfburn, etc | 23:45 |
| jayant | needhelp1: nearly everything, tux guitar, anything that runs along with firefox. Ubuntu software center and synaptic package manager work extremely slowly | 23:46 |
| keyUp | is there some bug going on with laptop power managment when cable is pluged of or? | 23:46 |
| needhelp1 | jayant, are you on 10.10 with all recent updates ? | 23:47 |
| jayant | th0r: ok thank you. after i install that package, what next will i have to do ? | 23:47 |
| jayant | needhelp1: no, I dont update because update manager slows down my system too. It works fine alone though, but i am unable to run anything along with it | 23:48 |
| shaosin | Polah its for a ftp server | 23:48 |
| jayant | I have an 8 year old PC | 23:49 |
| needhelp1 | jayant, has it always been this slow, or did it just start doing this? did it ever run fine? | 23:49 |
| Polah | shaosin: Look into getting vsftpd instead. | 23:49 |
| keyUp | when I plug of cable for power from my laptop screen brightness lowers even in settings is set to 100% when on battery why? | 23:49 |
| shaosin | lftp? | 23:49 |
| shaosin | Polah | 23:49 |
| needhelp1 | could this be a problem with keyUp's backlight .. problem with the laptop itself ? | 23:49 |
| jayant | needhelp1: a long time ago, i tried installing ubuntu 9.10 and that worked fine. Windows xp runs fine but ubuntu 10.10 never did | 23:49 |
| jayant | th0r: what command on the terminal will i have to use to install apps for xubuntu ? Like sudo apt-get install for ubuntu ? | 23:50 |
| keyUp | no i don't think so | 23:50 |
| araga | hello people | 23:50 |
| needhelp1 | jayant, did you upgrade from 9.10 to 10.10 ? or did you do a cd fresh install? | 23:51 |
| brightspark | I installed mozplugger as per the Forums, but cannot get evince to display pdfs inside firefox. I'd appreciate any help you can give. | 23:51 |
| jayant | needhelp1: Fresh cd install. Erased entire disk | 23:51 |
| needhelp1 | jayant, may want to ask in #xubuntu | 23:51 |
| needhelp1 | jayant, hum.. 11.04 beta is out tomorrow :) | 23:51 |
| jayant | needhelp1: ok..thanks a lot for your time | 23:52 |

| erUSUL | jayant: apt-get works in all versions of ubuntu ( and in all debian based distros for that matter ) | 23:52 |
| jayant | erUSUL: will i have any problem if i install same application again but from xubuntu | 23:53 |
| erUSUL | jayant: sorry; what same applications? i do not understand what you are asking... | 23:53 |
| jayant | erUSUL: like i have installed audacity, tuxGuitar nd stuff that work slowly. But after i install the xubuntu-desktop package, will i have to download them again ? If yes, then will a new copy have problems with the old existing ones ? | 23:55 |
| erUSUL | jayant: no; you do not have to download them again | 23:55 |
| jayant | erUSUL: then how will my system work fine ? | 23:55 |
| th0r | jayant: running xfce will not speed up something like audacity. You will have to try out various packages and see what performs well and what doesn't | 23:56 |
| Tusker | heya guys, I'm having an issue with chromium-browser hanging (only kill pages dialog works), but for some reason google-chrome works fine. how can I debug the issue ? | 23:56 |
| erUSUL | jayant: well xubuntu's desktop envoirment is said to use less resources then gnome. so more resources are free for the apps. that may improve things i dunno | 23:56 |
| jayant | th0r: what various packages ? | 23:57 |
| jayant | erUSUL: oh, ok...thank you | 23:57 |
| jayant | how do i download a synaptic package from the terminal ? | 23:57 |
| erUSUL | jayant: sudo apt-get install packagename | 23:58 |
| erUSUL | !software | jayant | 23:58 |
| ubottu | jayant: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 23:58 |
| th0r | jayant: for instance, gedit will still run slow, but mousepad will probably perform nicely. Xfburn will perform better than brasero, thunar will perform better than nautilus | 23:58 |
| === marcos is now known as Guest84979 | ||
| th0r | jayant: while all those 'better' packages can be run in gnome, they will run better in xfce due to the smaller resource demands of the wm | 23:59 |
| jayant | erUSUL: sudo apt-get install works for packages or for applications ? | 23:59 |
