| wheaties_ | that are only avalible via windows xp installer | 02:37 |
| isleshocky77 | Anyone got an idea why it's not automatically running ecrypt-mount-private upon login through ssh? | 02:38 |
| Riptide | Pass, i'm fairly new on the Ubuntu scene | 02:39 |
| sacarlson | isleshocky77: the user you loged into has an encrypted /home/user account? | 02:40 |
| isleshocky77 | sacarlson: Yes. | 02:40 |
| isleshocky77 | sacarlson: And this stopped working out of the blue. I believe it was working. | 02:40 |
| CyFus | im stuck on installing cuda, im getting errors from ld | 02:41 |
| isleshocky77 | sacarlson: The auto-mount file is in .ecryptfs | 02:41 |
| wheaties_ | trism: you sure that will work for a mother-board card (not removable)? | 02:41 |
| CyFus | but I already linked to the headers, did something break between 10.04 and 10.10? | 02:41 |
| detrix42 | Hi, I have ubuntu server 10.10, with a gnome also installed. It is currently in runlevel 2, and I need it to be in runlevel 3 or 5. How do I switch to a different runlevel? | 02:42 |
| sacarlson | isleshocky77: maybe try sudo mount -a to mount all that is in /etc/fstab I'm not sure where the encrypt tab is kept | 02:43 |
| th0r | detrix42: if they haven't changed it....in a terminal type 'sudo init 5' | 02:43 |
| itaylor57 | !runlevel | 02:43 |
| std_err | th0r , you beat me to it. I'm so slow at typing ppl's names >,< | 02:43 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 02:43 |
| sacarlson | isleshocky77: I guess you should lood at /etc/crypttab | 02:44 |
| detrix42 | th0r: thanks | 02:44 |
| isleshocky77 | sacarlson: That doesn't seem to be it. | 02:44 |
| isleshocky77 | sacarlson: If I run ecrypt-mount-private once I login it works fine. but I'm not sure why it's not automatically mounting it any more like it should. | 02:45 |
| sacarlson | isleshocky77: ok but at least you found a workaround | 02:45 |
| isleshocky77 | sacarlson: Well yeah, of course that works. But it's supposed to do it automatically as long as .ecryptfs/auto-mount exists. | 02:46 |
| isleshocky77 | But it's not doing it. | 02:46 |
| bsmith093 | i tried to install traceroute and the process froze, so i quit and now i cant get rid of it, E: traceroute: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal. | 02:47 |
| sacarlson | isleshocky77: I guess you could add that in a line of your .bashrc file to make it mount at entry of the shell | 02:47 |
| bsmith093 | reinstall freezes too | 02:47 |
| detrix42 | How do I check what runlevel I am currently at? | 02:48 |
| std_err | bsmith: purge? | 02:48 |
| bsmith093 | cant stuck halfway between in and out | 02:48 |

| milamber | bsmith093: did you try apt-get clean? | 02:50 |
| bsmith093 | yes no effect | 02:50 |
| sacarlson | isleshocky77: oh and did you ever change your password? if the account password has changed then it won't auto mount since the password on the account won't match | 02:50 |
| CyFus | what am I doing wrong I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/cuda.conf and sudo ldconfig | 02:50 |
| CyFus | but I keep getting usr/lib/ld errors | 02:50 |
| std_err | bsmith: install from source. | 02:51 |
| isleshocky77 | sacarlson: No. I believe I've had the same password. I read that somewhere though so I'm looking how I change the passwords now. | 02:51 |

| trism | lighta: sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins; then in gedit Edit/Preferences/Plugins, enable code comment, then there will be new options in the edit menu | 02:54 |
| std_err | bsmith: It's a hack anyway, probably not the best way to do it. If you haven't installed a program from source before I'd hate to send you in that direction | 02:55 |
| bsmith093 | std_err: no not really | 02:55 |

| wizard1 | could someone help me with adding a custom module to always load at boot time? | 03:10 |
| wizard1 | i know the module works, i just have to manually insert it each time | 03:10 |
| std_err | wizard: you can add it as modprobe in the startup scripts if you don't want to mess with grub configs | 03:10 |
| wheaties_ | ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh | 03:10 |
| sacarlson | c0dege3k: a permision problem in your /home/user space? look at ls -l to see who owns the directory you try to write to and what permisions it is set to | 03:11 |

| momok | i mean have you tried :P | 03:11 |
| std_err | doesn't the bash profile get read up every time you open a terminal? | 03:11 |
| momok | i think every time you're login not terminal? | 03:12 |
| wizard1 | std_err: how does modprobe work on ubuntu, it doesnt seem to have modprobe.d/modprobe.conf | 03:12 |
| c0dege3k | sacarlson: ah, root owns the folder im trying to work wiht | 03:12 |
| c0dege3k | how would i change that? | 03:12 |
| std_err | wizard: I would just make a shell to run the command, and add it to the defaults | 03:12 |
| sacarlson | c0dege3k: man chown | 03:12 |
| wizard1 | mmm problem with that is i need to elevate privelleges | 03:13 |
| std_err | wizard: the startup script would run as root.. are you the admin? | 03:13 |

| momok | sacarlson: aha yes | 03:19 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: You can boot a live CD. Try that | 03:19 |
| sacarlson | momok: what does monitor mean? that the file continues to exist? maybe a script with wget | 03:19 |
| momok | i want to use nagios script. but i don't know the command and which one i should use... | 03:19 |
| alex86 | edbian: with terminal, no at all | 03:19 |
| steve0hh | DrMorphias: maybe u have to hit F1 and select boot from CD.. | 03:19 |
| noob | hey | 03:20 |
| std_err | momok: did you check the nagios quickstart guide? | 03:20 |
| gsp2009 | Zealous: google bisigi themes | 03:20 |

| edbian | DrMorphias: What happens when you boot? | 03:20 |
| alex86 | edbian: thanks | 03:20 |
| DaGeek247 | DrMorphias, is it 10.10? | 03:20 |
| edbian | alex86: Come here with specific questions :) | 03:20 |
| momok | sacarlson: i mean its checking whether the url still exist and can be access or not... i've checked it but my url is quite different | 03:20 |
| DrMorphias | edbian, my computer just idles then reboots continously, and yes its 10.10. | 03:20 |
| Zealous | cheers gsp | 03:20 |
| momok | the port too | 03:21 |
| Meshezabeel | I can access my windows partion from the Places menu, and it displays a mounted icon on the desktop, but I can't find out where it is mounted. Nothing is in /mnt and /media only shows floppy and cdrom | 03:21 |
| DrMorphias | DaGeek247, its 10.10 . | 03:21 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: press shift a whole bunch after bios but before the reset thing. See if you can get the grub menu to show up | 03:21 |
| gsp2009 | Zealous: np. | 03:21 |
| Meshezabeel | any ideas where it could be mounted? | 03:21 |
| DaGeek247 | 10.10 did the same for me. i had to go back to 10.04. | 03:21 |
| noob | hello | 03:21 |
| noob | hi | 03:21 |
| sacarlson | momok: ok then setup a cron job with at some periodic period of your choice to wget the file and verify it's contents maybe with md5sum to verify it has the same values in it | 03:21 |
| Meshezabeel | DaGeek247: are you talking to me? | 03:22 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: look using df -h | 03:22 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: he is not. He's talking to DrMOrphia | 03:22 |
| DaGeek247 | DrMorphias, actually. | 03:22 |
| edbian | s | 03:22 |
| DrMorphias | edbian, i think it has something to do with the rocketraid inside my computer. it isnt using any raid but i think it might be confusing grub :/ | 03:22 |

| jfarrell | greetings guys, i am somewhat new to linux | 03:22 |
| gsp2009 | jfarrell: welcome | 03:22 |
| mister2 | so, dumb question, but where's the best place to dump compiled programs? | 03:22 |
| guampa | anyone knows where to get the gallium radeon driver? tried xorg-edgers ppa but i still have classic mesa, r600 | 03:22 |
| mister2 | isn't it mostly in /etc? | 03:22 |
| jfarrell | how do I setup my installation so that I dont need to specify the IP when I SSH to the server | 03:22 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: It might be. BUt it sounds to me that grub is loading, loading Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is crashing | 03:22 |
| tjiggi_fo | noob, hi, what's your question? | 03:22 |
| edbian | mister2: either in /home/you/bin or /usr/local/bin (the latter so other users can run the program) | 03:23 |
| milamber | mister2: http://wiki.debian.org/FilesystemHierarchyStandard | 03:23 |
| DaGeek247 | mister2 wherever you want. | 03:23 |
| mister2 | @milamber thanks | 03:23 |
| edbian | mister2: /etc is configuration files | 03:23 |
| Meshezabeel | edbian: all that shows up there is /dev/sda1 (mounted on /) and tmpfs on /lib/init/rw, udev on /dev, tmpfs on /dev/shm | 03:23 |
| ohsix | theres ~/.local/bin too | 03:23 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: Then windows is not mounted | 03:23 |
| momok | sacarlson & std_err: ok friend thanks i will try to do that | 03:23 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: Are you viewing the files right now? | 03:23 |
| sacarlson | jfarrell: you can setup the address in your /etc/hosts file to give an ip a name | 03:23 |
| DrMorphias | edbian, i know how i can boot into ubuntu, and thats using EasyBCD in windows but im trying to GET RID of windows lol | 03:23 |
| Meshezabeel | edbian: but I am browsing the windows folders right now | 03:23 |
| lovesthethianood | is there an alternative to cain and able for linux that handles ARP poisiong? | 03:23 |
| jfarrell | sacarlson, ahh, ok that is what i was reading here, but iw as not sure | 03:24 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: Well you need Ubuntu to boot before you can get rid of windows. | 03:24 |
| std_err | momok: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/quickstart-ubuntu.html | 03:24 |
| barack_osama- | Meshezabeel maybe you browse it over network? | 03:24 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: Really it's on the desktop? Go into it and keep pressing the up button and see where you get. | 03:24 |
| Meshezabeel | edbian: yes, I'm viewing the files right now, it is on the desktop | 03:24 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: Press up repeatedly and see where you get! | 03:25 |
| jfarrell | sacarlson, any idea how i can give the machine a static IP, my router is using DHCP, which is what I want for everything else on the network, just not this server | 03:25 |
| Meshezabeel | edbian: hmm, it shows up that it is under /media | 03:25 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: That's where it is | 03:25 |
| ohsix | jfarrell: check your routers settings, they can usually be set to hand out specific ips to the same machine | 03:25 |
| momok | std_err: thanks maybe i should relearn to understand the basic nagios script again... | 03:25 |
| std_err | momok: sorry, I didn't mean to insult you. I thought... nvm | 03:26 |
| Meshezabeel | edbian: but terminal does not show it there, it only shows cdrom, cdrom0, floppy, and floppy0 | 03:26 |
| sacarlson | jfarrell: you want your ubuntu box to be setup static on your lan or all your boxes that attach? | 03:26 |
| std_err | my mistake | 03:26 |
| chx | hi. i am about to get a new laptop -- does https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/630748 mean that i better install 10.04 LTS and not muck around with the newer ones 'cos 802.11n for Intel is fubar? | 03:26 |
| guampa | anyone knows where to get the gallium radeon driver? tried xorg-edgers ppa but still have classic mesa, r600 | 03:26 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 630748 in linux-firmware (Ubuntu Natty) "iwlagn degrades quickly during normal wifi session" [High,Confirmed] | 03:26 |
| Meshezabeel | edbian: I even tried "cd /media/Acer" and it says no such file or directory | 03:26 |
| edbian | jfarrell: You set the IP in /etc/network/interfaces and you give it an IP outside the DHCP range. | 03:26 |
| DrMorphias | ebdian, so push shift a bunch of times? | 03:26 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: That is very strange. I don't know. Perhaps has something to do with fuse? (userland mounting) | 03:26 |
| jfarrell | edbian, ahh ok, that makes sense | 03:27 |
| barack_osama- | Meshezabeel what "df -h" gives u? | 03:27 |
| DrMorphias | ebdian, how do i find out if grub is actually loading? | 03:27 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: pressing shift during boot time is what makes the grub menu show up. Yes | 03:27 |
| sacarlson | jfarrell: if you want that all the boxes that connect to your lan be static then you could disable the dhcp server in your router and run dhcpd in your ubuntu box that can be configured to assign ip dependent on the mac adress of each device | 03:27 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: You press shift to get it to show the menu. Some boot loader is running or the system would say 'no operating system found' | 03:27 |
| slakc | http://distrowatch.com/ this is a funny april fools joke had me for a sec | 03:27 |
| jfarrell | sacarlson, naw its just one box (the ubuntu) that i want static | 03:28 |
| jfarrell | everything else i want dynamic | 03:28 |
| slakc | 24 floppy disks :) | 03:28 |
| edbian | jfarrell: If you pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file I can help you edit it. | 03:28 |
| momok | std_err: its ok its just because i need to learn the depth of the some script like to specific certain port, multiple url, certain protocol :P | 03:28 |
| DrMorphias | ebdian, ok ill go try that. | 03:28 |
| deshymers | TrickyJ: nope didnt help | 03:28 |
| edbian | slakc: hahaha | 03:28 |
| Meshezabeel | edbian: I don't know what fuse / userland mounting is :) | 03:28 |
| jfarrell | edbian, awesome, let me take a crack at it first :) | 03:28 |
| Meshezabeel | barack_osama-: all that shows up there is /dev/sda1 (mounted on /) and tmpfs on /lib/init/rw, udev on /dev, tmpfs on /dev/shm | 03:28 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: Read all about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace | 03:29 |
| sacarlson | jfarrell: then you can modify /etc/network/interfaces and define your ubuntu box to be static, it needs 3 values assinged an ip, a gateway and dns address | 03:29 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: barack_osama-: Isn't it strange? fuse? | 03:29 |
| jfarrell | sacarlson, ok, i just need to figure out my DNS | 03:29 |
| jfarrell | do i need a local DNS? | 03:29 |
| edbian | jfarrell: You need to point the machine to some DNS but usually you put that in /etc/resolv.conf | 03:30 |
| === std_err is now known as loctrice | ||
| sacarlson | jfarrell: the dns address is defined in /etc/resolv.conf and you can use 8.8.8.8 if you want google to be your dns or setup your own dns with bind9 | 03:30 |
| edbian | jfarrell: Your router will proxy dns for you. | 03:30 |
| loctrice | got my nick back .. I really should learn to be in more then one channel in the same terminal I guess | 03:30 |
| edbian | jfarrell: http://www.opendns.com/ | 03:30 |
| jfarrell | and | 03:31 |
| edbian | jfarrell: or | 03:31 |
| jfarrell | 209.55.5.10 and 11 | 03:31 |
| barack_osama- | sacarlson jfarrell another open DNS servers are 8.8.4.4 or 4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2 | 03:31 |
| edbian | nand | 03:31 |
| sacarlson | jfarrell: edbian: yes you can use your router as your dns also or others as edbian states | 03:31 |
| oosh | hello | 03:31 |
| jfarrell | sacarlson, hold on, i got a million people telling me things | 03:31 |
| jfarrell | very new to this aspect of linux | 03:31 |
| loctrice | it's not me, I don't even know how to send private messages | 03:32 |
| edbian | jfarrell: install gentoo! | 03:32 |
| loctrice | lol@edbian | 03:32 |
| edbian | jfarrell: no no, don't edit that file! | 03:32 |
| jfarrell | sacarlson, 209.55.5.10 and 11 are what i have in my resolv.conf | 03:32 |
| jfarrell | could use these in the interface file | 03:32 |
| jfarrell | ? | 03:32 |
| edbian | jfarrell: they're fine where they are. | 03:32 |
| oosh | im new to linux.. and ive been noticing that my internet speed is quite laggy when using firefox 4... but with windows it works quite well.. what could be the problem? | 03:33 |
| edbian | jfarrell: You don't specify dns in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:33 |
| edbian | jfarrell: the /etc/resolv.conf file usually gets filled by dhcp | 03:33 |
| jfarrell | <sacarlson> jfarrell: then you can modify /etc/network/interfaces and define your ubuntu box to be static, it needs 3 values assinged an ip, a gateway and dns address | 03:33 |
| jfarrell | ^^ | 03:33 |
| loctrice | oosh: chrome is insanely fast | 03:33 |
| jfarrell | dns address | 03:33 |
| Meshezabeel | well heck, I'll just copy the files I need to my ubuntu partition from within gnome, thanks for trying edbian and barack_osama- | 03:33 |
| sacarlson | jfarrell: sure that works so just leave it | 03:33 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: strange! :D | 03:33 |
| edbian | jfarrell: Meshezabeel I believe it's address, netmask, and gateway (not DNS) | 03:34 |
| oosh | im new to linux.. and ive been noticing that my internet speed is quite laggy when using firefox 4... but with windows it works quite well.. what could be the problem?/ | 03:34 |
| jfarrell | edbian, current interfaces file - http://pastebin.com/UfkdtA1R | 03:34 |
| oosh | my downloads are laggy as well | 03:34 |
| barack_osama- | oosh is it on the same PC or is Linux on another PC? | 03:34 |
| oosh | same | 03:34 |
| edbian | jfarrell: You didn't add anything yet? Is that on purpose? | 03:35 |
| jfarrell | edbian, i have no idea what to add :) | 03:35 |
| barack_osama- | oosh so u boot either into windoze or into linux correct? | 03:35 |
| oosh | yes | 03:35 |
| loctrice | jfarrell: do it from the gui | 03:35 |
| jfarrell | loctrice, not an option | 03:35 |
| oosh | internet, etc works just fine with windows.. but with linux its laggy | 03:35 |
| loctrice | jfarrell: ah, my fault. | 03:35 |
| loctrice | oosh: which version of windows, and which version of linux? | 03:36 |
| oosh | xubuntu and windows 7 | 03:36 |
| jfarrell | edbian, goal would be to get this box to be named svn-server, IP 192.168.1.100 | 03:36 |
| edbian | jfarrell: Something like this: http://pastebin.com/mUbfH0ZB I guessed at the IPs | 03:36 |
| barack_osama- | oosh maybe u have big ass update being downloaded if u just installed linux an hour ago | 03:36 |
| oosh | no no | 03:36 |
| guampa | anyone knows where to get the gallium driver for radeon? tried xorg-edgers ppa but still have classic mesa | 03:36 |
| oosh | my updates are current | 03:36 |
| loctrice | I don't know anything about xubuntu. I know kubuntu was not very good imo when I tried it | 03:37 |
| edbian | jfarrell: In order for the machine to respond to 'svn-server' you'd need a local DNS server or to manually edit every /etc/hosts file on every other machine. | 03:37 |
| oosh | its just a gui of xfce on top of ubuntu | 03:37 |
| mrdeb | what is | 03:37 |
| sacarlson | oosh: you might try change your MTU setting and see if that makes any improvment in your network performance http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-mtu-maximum-transmission-unit-of-network-interface-in-ubuntu-linux.html | 03:37 |
| oosh | xubuntu | 03:37 |
| edbian | xubuntu kubuntu | 03:37 |
| edbian | they're just ubuntu with a different gui | 03:37 |
| mrdeb | ok | 03:37 |
| jfarrell | edbian, ok got the changes | 03:38 |
| mrdeb | gnome works fine for ubuntu | 03:38 |
| jfarrell | for the hell of it, i am going to restart | 03:38 |
| loctrice | gnome da bomb | 03:38 |
| edbian | jfarrell: Try it out. Save the file and sudo service network restart | 03:38 |
| edbian | jfarrell: That'll have the same affect | 03:38 |
| mrdeb | gnome jhas good features for moving windows, resizing., and it's just as quick almost | 03:38 |
| centHOGG | xubuntu = laptop | 03:38 |
| oosh | thanks | 03:38 |
| oosh | yes | 03:38 |
| mister2 | anybody find a fix for kslowd00*? i found a forum thread but i didn't see any solutions on it | 03:38 |
| oosh | i have a laptop | 03:38 |
| mister2 | or even know what its from? | 03:38 |
| oosh | and xfce is the shit | 03:38 |
| loctrice | oosh: it's a laptop? | 03:38 |

| mister2 | anybody know if i can kill kslowd? | 03:40 |
| jfarrell | edbian, nothing | 03:41 |
| edbian | jfarrell: sudo service networking restart | 03:41 |
| jfarrell | cant hit it with svn-server or 192.168.1.100 | 03:41 |
| edbian | jfarrell: and tell me what errors you get :) | 03:41 |
| jfarrell | edbian, i rebooted the whole machine | 03:41 |
| edbian | jfarrell: and paste.ubuntu.com it here | 03:41 |
| edbian | jfarrell: sure but if you run that command and something is wrong you'll see the errors. with a reboot you get nothing! | 03:42 |
| mrdeb | is there a way to enable the nice resolution in terminal after installing the closed source graphic driver? | 03:42 |
| Meshezabeel | edbian: barack_osama- I am stupid...my terminal was logged into my remote vps server, I thought I was looking at my local machine...guess I have to laugh about it now, but sorry to have bothered you | 03:42 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: You've given me my sanity back. | 03:43 |
| barack_osama- | Meshezabeel heh that happens :) especially if u have a bunch of consoles open, I ussualy run hostname at begining if not sure | 03:43 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: :) | 03:43 |
| loctrice | Meshezabeel: don't worry, we can all have a laugh. We've all done something along those lines | 03:43 |
| jfarrell | edbian, this is on a different machine altogether | 03:43 |
| jfarrell | and the machine is not really in that good of shape, externally | 03:44 |
| Meshezabeel | edbian: barack_osama- loctrice haha, thanks, have a good night | 03:44 |
| jfarrell | mouse doesnt work, so this is going to be quite the effort | 03:44 |
| Meshezabeel | (or day or whatever) | 03:44 |
| edbian | jfarrell: I can do everything cli with you so mouse is not needed. Can you run commands on it? | 03:44 |
| edbian | Meshezabeel: good night :) | 03:44 |
| Zealous | i downloaded and installed the bisigi project and when i aptitude the theme i get "sudo: aptitude: command not found | 03:44 |
| jfarrell | edbian, yes | 03:45 |
| jfarrell | ran ifconfig, it doesnt even see eth0 | 03:45 |
| edbian | jfarrell: that's ok. restart networking already! :) | 03:45 |
| edbian | jfarrell: sudo service network restart | 03:46 |
| jfarrell | edbian, unrecognized service | 03:46 |
| loctrice | Zelous: is aptitude installed? | 03:46 |
| swim | hey guys, can anybody tell me what they know about ubuntu being compatible with macs?? | 03:46 |
| massai29 | disculpen alguien puede ayudarme | 03:47 |
| loctrice | swim: ubuntu has been put on kindle book readers. It can be installed | 03:47 |
| edbian | jfarrell: sorry, sudo service networking restart | 03:47 |
| jfarrell | restart: unknown instance | 03:47 |
| massai29 | no puedo instalar unos controladores | 03:47 |
| swim | so, as far as anybody knows, is it compatible straight from install?? | 03:47 |
| lament | swim: i'm running ubuntu on a mac right now, obviously compatibility depends on what model you have, help.ubuntu.com has a guide somewhere | 03:47 |
| edbian | jfarrell: sudo service networking stop && sudo service networking start | 03:48 |
| Zealous | loctrice: i have aptitude other stuff before which is why i find this weird | 03:48 |
| gslack | depends on what u mean by compatable | 03:48 |
| lament | massai29: #ubuntu-es | 03:48 |
| loctrice | edbian: you can /etc/init.d/networking restart ? | 03:48 |
| jfarrell | edbian, same error | 03:48 |
| jfarrell | maybe something in the interfaces file? | 03:48 |
| massai29 | YA BUSQUE AHI | 03:49 |
| massai29 | Y NO PUEDO | 03:49 |
| lament | oh :( | 03:49 |
| FloodBot1 | massai29: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:49 |
| edbian | loctrice: Isn't the deprecated? | 03:49 |
| edbian | jfarrell: try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:49 |
| loctrice | edbian: not that I know of... depricated is funny on linux :) | 03:49 |
| edbian | jfarrell: I need to restart networking to get a handle on what might be wrong in /etc/network/interfaces but you can pastebin it now to save time. paste.ubuntu.com | 03:49 |
| chipmenk | can vlc play files in a windows samba share? | 03:49 |
| edbian | loctrice: ok | 03:49 |
| edbian | jfarrell: yeah try sudo /etc/init.d/... | 03:49 |
| jfarrell | edbian, misplaed option | 03:50 |
| centHOGG | chipmenk: no joy there | 03:50 |
| massai29 | nadie habla español | 03:50 |
| swim | gslack i sold my junky acer that i used as backup while on the road, i'm thinking about buying an old junky mac.. obviously i use ubuntu and nothing else (cept crunchbang) i'm looking around to see if i can just straight up install it without having to hack like crazy to make it work | 03:50 |
| edbian | jfarrell: misplaed ? | 03:50 |
| jfarrell | edbian, misplaced option :) | 03:50 |
| edbian | jfarrell: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart really should work. try stop instead of restart | 03:51 |
| mister2 | anybody know anything about kslowd? | 03:51 |
| sacarlson | chipmenk: sure why not | 03:51 |
| centHOGG | swim: how much $$$? | 03:51 |
| edbian | How do you restart networking in Ubuntu!?!? | 03:51 |
| jfarrell | edbian, bare in mind that i already restart the machine | 03:51 |
| chipmenk | how? | 03:51 |
| jfarrell | *restarted | 03:51 |
| jfarrell | before we did any of this | 03:51 |
| gslack | swim: I don't think there should be a problem as long as its a pretty standard MAC | 03:51 |
| edbian | jfarrell: Again, I know that. I need to see some errors. Can you pastebin that file for me please? | 03:51 |
| loctrice | edbian: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart .........it works I did it today even | 03:51 |
| sancas | what can i do with ubuntu? | 03:51 |
| jfarrell | edbian, its on a seperate machine with no web browser | 03:51 |
| edbian | loctrice: That's what I thought. | 03:52 |
| swim | centHOGG like maybe 50$ | 03:52 |
| gslack | I mean no homebuilt or hotrodding | 03:52 |
| jfarrell | edbian, give me a second, ill copy it by hand | 03:52 |
| centHOGG | kewl | 03:52 |
| swim | it's a g4.. | 03:52 |
| centHOGG | good price | 03:52 |
| centHOGG | i think | 03:52 |
| edbian | jfarrell: You should install pastebinit (command line that's AWESOME) and pretty much pastebins for you. | 03:52 |
| centHOGG | swim: much mileage? | 03:52 |
| edbian | jfarrell: It is not long though right? | 03:52 |
| swim | well, it's pretty beat up.. which i like... i actually hate buying and using new computers.. | 03:52 |
| centHOGG | free | 03:52 |
| gslack | well might want to check Ubuntu's site for anything specific to it. but id say baring no big issues they list try it and see | 03:53 |
| * centHOGG latest mac is imac ruby | 03:53 | |
| swim | i think i can definetly score it for under 100$ but i'm going to try a little closer to 50$ | 03:53 |
| centHOGG | hell yeah | 03:53 |
| swim | i guess if i have to hack, it's worth it anyways.. | 03:53 |
| gslack | run the live cd/dvd and try taxing it a bit | 03:53 |
| centHOGG | pm me and tell me the details | 03:53 |
| jfarrell | edbian, i dont think you understand. I cant get to the other machine with ssh due to the IP problem | 03:54 |
| edbian | jfarrell: Ah, ok. sorry to hear that. | 03:54 |
| jfarrell | i have to physically roll the chair over to the shelve and read it :) | 03:54 |

| DrMorphias | edbian it got me to see grub loading and then it restarted | 03:55 |
| === lol is now known as {} | ||
| edbian | jfarrell: Don't pastebin me errors like that. It's a waste. Just describe them to me. I need to see the file. Something is wrong in it. | 03:55 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: You saw the menu? What option did you choose? What options were there? | 03:55 |
| jfarrell | edbian, let me copy it by hand | 03:55 |
| jfarrell | one second | 03:55 |
| gslack | Anybody having issues with DHCP on a dual boot Ubuntu 10.10 and win 7 setup? | 03:56 |
| loctrice | probably a misspelling. | 03:56 |
| edbian | jfarrell: take your time. | 03:56 |
| DrMorphias | edbian it didnt show the menu. just a blinking cursosor and then grub loading then restart. | 03:56 |
| edbian | loctrice: yes | 03:56 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: Mmm, I'm not sure. Maybe grub is crashing? If you can't get to the menu I don't know what to tell you | 03:56 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: Try resetting the bios? | 03:56 |
| === KurtB is now known as Guest53470 | ||
| DrMorphias | edbian like take out the bios battery? | 03:57 |
| jfarrell | edbian, http://pastebin.com/qjTD9JB1 | 03:57 |
| loctrice | ace = iface | 03:58 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: There usually is an option in the bios to 'reset to factory defaults' taking out the battery is too much work for what you need to do. We just need all the settings reset | 03:58 |
| DrMorphias | ok | 03:59 |
| gslack | usually also a lil jumper to clear CMOS | 03:59 |
| edbian | jfarrell: yep, 'ace lo inet' needs to be 'iface lo inet' | 03:59 |
| barack_osama- | yeah it should be on the mobo | 03:59 |
| gslack | usually right next to battery | 03:59 |
| edbian | jfarrell: Also, put a blank line between loopback and auto eth0. It's not necessary but it's just good form | 03:59 |
| zhoule | hello | 04:00 |
| zhoule | hello | 04:00 |

| FloodBot1 | zhoule: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:00 |
| jfarrell | edbian, ok, restart worked that time without any errors | 04:00 |
| loctrice | edbian: sorry, couldn't help it | 04:00 |
| jfarrell | ssh worked | 04:00 |
| gslack | usually the jumper has 3 prongs, sits on two at a time. mine for normal is the first two prongs from left | 04:01 |
| jfarrell | still cant hit it with svn-server | 04:01 |
| griphown | any is using candidate version ? | 04:01 |
| griphown | anybody is using candidate version ? | 04:01 |
| edbian | jfarrell: hurray! :) | 04:01 |
| gslack | to reset I have to take the jumper and place it on the farthest right two prongs | 04:01 |
| jfarrell | edbian, so, everything is working fine, except I cant type svn-server into putty and have it open the connection | 04:01 |
| jfarrell | how can we get that? | 04:01 |
| edbian | loctrice: couldn't help finding hte error first? You just want all the glory! | 04:01 |
| griphown | candidate no have problems ? | 04:01 |
| DrMorphias | edbian that didnt work | 04:02 |
| edbian | jfarrell: Yeah I told you that before. You need to have a local DNS server if you want to refer to machines on your LAN by hostname. | 04:02 |
| Zelozelos | im using easystroke to controll some stuff like switching workspaces, open a terminal, start an animated background via xwinwrap, what would be the terminal command to turn up/down the volume? | 04:02 |
| edbian | DrMorphias: I'm not sure then. Sorry! :( | 04:02 |
| jfarrell | edbian, roger that, I will look into that tomorrow | 04:02 |
| jfarrell | thanks for the help | 04:02 |
| edbian | jfarrell: no problem | 04:02 |

| edbian | loctrice: We all were at one time. | 04:03 |

| barack_osama- | Zelozelos antivirus | 04:12 |
| loctrice | jcmarini: compiling from source isn't really that complicated. It's if you have to track down dependancies | 04:12 |
| gslack | ok sorry for the delay got a new one saved to text now | 04:12 |
| Zelozelos | lol yet another reason i LOVE ubuntu...no virus worries (unless im sharing something w windows) | 04:13 |

| gslack | sorry new xchat install | 04:13 |
| edbian | gslack: no worries. I'm just eager to see! :) | 04:14 |
| loctrice | jcmarini: you can get it from backports, but that means you have to enable backports | 04:14 |
| Zelozelos | got some kewll stuff goin on w ubuntu, set up an entire entertainment system controlled via a lappie w compiz, easystroke xwinwrap a big-screen tv, 3d audio by the time im done all ill need is a mouse to controll it all, and maybe some voice commands...havent looked into that yet | 04:14 |

| gslack | right now its working just fine but if i log into win7 and back into linux i have to reset my router | 04:16 |
| wangpeng | who are you | 04:16 |

| edbian | royale1223: What's the problem? | 04:19 |
| Zealous | only thing i can think of is a bad router as both OS should ask for the details on connect | 04:19 |
| royale1223 | Edbian: it isnt running after an update. I think i didnt restart the pc properly. | 04:19 |
| loctrice | gslack: are the computer names the same in the two os's, and do you have dchp reservations? | 04:20 |
| edbian | Zealous: I'm willing to bet unloading the module before shutting down linux will fix the problem. | 04:20 |
| Zealous | :) | 04:20 |
| edbian | royale1223: what if you do this: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 04:20 |
| gslack | paste.ubuntu.com | 04:20 |

| kdog | I've got a USB2.0 drive that I would like to backup my laptop to. What ubuntu apps are recommended? I'm rather fond of backuppc, but would like a GUI option. | 04:24 |
| gslack | ok done | 04:24 |
| loctrice | mister2: http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/drm/viewtopic.php?f=5&p=17 | 04:24 |
| edbian | gslack: Now give me the link to that website | 04:24 |
| acerimmer | Zealous: gwibber shows msn chat client, so I presume it's functional for chat. IDK about the cam, though... | 04:24 |
| sacarlson | kdog: rsync would be one method and I think there is a gui for it not sure of the name | 04:25 |

| kdog | sacarlson: back in time maybe? | 04:26 |
| loctrice | mister2: c++ doesn't really care which os you are in :P | 04:26 |

| gslack | k thanks btw | 04:27 |
| mister2 | loctrice: i don't really know enough c++ to figure out what bit relates to me... | 04:27 |
| edbian | gslack: Now. to be clear. If you shut down linux and boot windows will you have dhcp or no? | 04:27 |
| mister2 | or, c++ compliation errors i guess | 04:27 |
| royale1223 | Eth0, lo and vboxnet 0, none connected | 04:28 |
| gslack | windows almost alays just fine | 04:28 |
| gslack | a lil bit slow on occasion but other than that no issues | 04:28 |
| loctrice | mister2: it's a dependacny issue. I'm having a problem getting back to that post. I'll find it again and see about giving better instructions | 04:28 |
| royale1223 | Edbian: i want to show you something intresting too | 04:28 |
| gslack | the other way tho is a hit and miss | 04:28 |

| oosh | hi all.. im hoping someone can help me... ive had xubuntu installed for a few days and my browsing and downloading have been extremely laggy.. Everything works fine in windows 7, so i know its not my internet connection. Is there anything i can do to fix this from the ubuntu end? | 04:29 |
| === marcos is now known as Guest75251 | ||
| gslack | one quick point: this did not happen for a year on this router using xp and linux dual boot | 04:29 |
| Guest75251 | hola! | 04:29 |
| edbian | gslack: You should boot into linux with the problem (no dhcp address) and then look at lspci -k and ifconfig -a | 04:29 |
| gslack | happened after win7 and sp 1 | 04:29 |
| centHOGG | oosh: try another distro livecd | 04:30 |

| oosh | its set at 1500... which is default.. i didnt mess with it | 04:31 |
| edbian | gslack: :) | 04:31 |
| loctrice | mister2: this command I found to get that lib sudo apt-get install libfaad-dev libmad0-dev | 04:31 |
| mister2 | loctrice: pianobarfly | 04:31 |

| mister2 | loctrice: sweeeeeet | 04:32 |
| randomuser | i'm disabling wifi module sleep by whitelisting the chipset's module in /etc/default/acpi-support. Is this the optimal method for the goal, and will restarting acpid enact the change? | 04:32 |
| mister2 | i was wondering what i was missing :/ | 04:32 |
| mister2 | thanks! | 04:32 |
| edbian | royale1223: whoa. I have never seen that before. It is strange. I have no idea how to interpret it :) | 04:32 |
| loctrice | mister2: no problem. | 04:32 |
| oosh | why 1492 and 576 specifically? | 04:32 |
| Zealous | Is msn messenger usable in ubuntu? i could use other programs it is just the web cam chat i want for the laptop | 04:33 |
| sacarlson | oosh: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-mtu-maximum-transmission-unit-of-network-interface-in-ubuntu-linux.html | 04:33 |

| gslack | tried one guys fix who had similar issue involving setting mac address in the DHCP client ID. didnt fix a thing | 04:33 |
| royale1223 | Edbian: maybe a problem with dbus? How do i check? | 04:34 |
| oosh | another distro? why? i like xubuntu.. i want to work the kinks out.. | 04:34 |
| sacarlson | oosh: my one of my router didn't like 1500 with my new ISP not clear to me why, I was told to try another value and it worked for me | 04:34 |
| centHOGG | if another distro works then you know it WORKS | 04:34 |
| gslack | allright logging off and going to try to get the error again (its random) and when i get it ill save the info and paste it thx again for the help | 04:34 |
| edbian | royale1223: I don't know :( | 04:34 |

| loctrice | edbian: sudo aptitude remove connman from : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594566 | 04:35 |
| loctrice | try that? | 04:35 |
| mister2 | loctrice: so i found the readme ._. | 04:35 |
| randomuser | oosh, a 1492 MTU is used because a 1500 MTU is the standards max and the extra byte leaves your router some room for NAT | 04:36 |
| loctrice | lol@mister2 | 04:36 |
| Zealous | i downloaded supertux and the ext is .package and the site has no instructions | 04:36 |
| barack_osama- | Zealous try chmod a+x .package | 04:36 |
| barack_osama- | then ./sampple.package | 04:36 |
| Zealous | danka | 04:36 |
| oosh | so why isnt 1492 the default setting then? | 04:36 |
| IdleOne | why not just sudo apt-get install supertux ? | 04:37 |
| Zealous | i could do that too, force of habit of download setup files :P | 04:37 |
| barack_osama- | btw what is supertux :D | 04:37 |
| randomuser | oosh, i don't set the default settings. | 04:37 |
| Zealous | it is super mario version but with tux | 04:37 |
| barack_osama- | aaa ok I think I played it | 04:37 |
| oosh | i know... but it seems strange that we should need to reconfigure these networking settings | 04:38 |
| mister2 | question: what libmao should i use for 10.10? | 04:38 |
| royale1223 | Loctrice: hi | 04:38 |

| mister2 | *libmad | 04:38 |
| loctrice | the "latest" one in apt? | 04:38 |
| mister2 | yeah but there's a bunch... | 04:38 |

| loctrice | hang one, let me look in my apt | 04:39 |
| loctrice | you'll want libmad0 and the -dev file for make | 04:39 |
| oosh | should i reboot after i change the settings? | 04:39 |
| loctrice | ocaml is another language extension, which you shouldn't need | 04:40 |
| royale1223 | Loctrice: hi | 04:40 |
| loctrice | royale: hi | 04:40 |
| sacarlson | oosh: if the change is seen in ifconfig it should already be active in that state | 04:40 |
| mister2 | loctrice: and what are pthreads and taglib? | 04:40 |
| mister2 | i see no installation candidates on apt | 04:41 |
| mister2 | (by hitting tab) | 04:41 |
| sancas | jey!! what can i use for download music?? | 04:41 |

| sillav | hi... what's the mail icon in the top right of my panel... I used it to connect to pidgin and get on here, but is that all it does? | 04:46 |
| ubuntu | hey i need some help to install grub. So my problem is i have a windows pc that the boot loader crashed and i want to put grub on it from terminal whats the command that i need to do form a live cd | 04:46 |
| loctrice | royale: I'm looking it up, give me a minute | 04:46 |
| Victini` | tried that | 04:46 |
| ubuntu | Victini`, you didnt do it right then | 04:47 |
| Wicked | loctrice, ? | 04:47 |
| Wicked | oh like as in compile | 04:47 |
| centHOGG | ifconfig /a | 04:47 |
| randomuser | anlek, you might have to do a crontab, i got mixed up. I'm not sure why it wouldn't run, though | 04:47 |
| Wicked | i was thinking source-deb | 04:47 |
| Victini` | look i port forwed port 80 so i need to know how to enter my internet settings | 04:47 |
| loctrice | well, if vlc offers a deb, then use it | 04:48 |
| anlek | randomuser: Ok, I'll give it a try... one more question...(one sec) | 04:48 |
| loctrice | just remove the apt version first | 04:48 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda # change sda1 and sda to your choice | 04:48 |
| mrdeb | what do you need with vlc | 04:48 |
| ubuntu | sacarlson, Thanks do i need internet for the computer | 04:48 |
| Victini` | so how do i get in it | 04:48 |
| anlek | randomuser: my crontab file says: 25 6* * *roottest -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) however, /user/sbin doesn't have anacron... any idea why or if this works? | 04:48 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu: not to run that command no | 04:49 |
| giiker | anybody knows how to kill a screen sessions? | 04:49 |
| sillav | Victini`: it's ifconfig -a ... not /a | 04:49 |
| anlek | giiker: exit should do it | 04:49 |
| loctrice | royale: are you in the wireless group? which hardware are you using? | 04:49 |
| giiker | I think screened twice in a remote screen session | 04:49 |
| giiker | and can't kill it | 04:49 |
| giiker | anlek: just exit? | 04:49 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu: make sure you change /dev/sda1 to where your root partition of ubuntu is locate3d | 04:49 |
| sillav | Victini`: but unless you've set up your connection to use manual not dhcp, knowing your current ip won't help much | 04:49 |
| randomuser | anlek, if there's no anacron, install it. that could be your issue | 04:49 |
| anlek | giiker: works for me | 04:49 |
| ubuntu | sacarlson, how do i check to see if it mounted | 04:50 |
| anlek | randomuser: so that should fix it? Any idea why that was in my crontab? | 04:51 |
| loctrice | royale? | 04:51 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu: cd into the directory and see if the files you expect to see are there | 04:51 |
| Victini` | so what do i do | 04:51 |
| royale1223 | Loctrice: i'm trying to connect via mobile broadband. Its isnt a problem with wireless or wired. It affects the whole nm. Nothing can be connected. No connections are detected. | 04:51 |

| giiker | anlek: YOU R a screen God!! :) I have read the man pages and found nothing about the exit command, although i have used it before but forgot about it! thanks!! | 04:51 |
| anlek | giiker: glad I could help ;) | 04:52 |
| ubuntu | sacarlson, how do i cd to sda1 like cd sda1 or cd/sda1 | 04:52 |
| giiker | now, going to split those screens!! :-) | 04:52 |
| loctrice | royale1223: you did the connman fix? that's where I came back to | 04:52 |
| anlek | randomuser: awesome, looks like it works! thank you so much for your time. | 04:52 |
| Zealous | hhmm spt-get can not find SDL_mixer is it under another name? | 04:52 |
| ubuntu | sacarlson, the command i use to mnt was sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 04:52 |
| giiker | I love screen!!! | 04:53 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu: you cd to where you mounted it so in that line we mounted to cd /mnt ; ls | 04:53 |
| loctrice | Zelouse: it's in libsdl-mixer in apt | 04:53 |
| Zealous | aaahhhh this program was wrong then | 04:53 |
| xiyazhao | i don't use ubuntu.don't install soft.just play | 04:54 |
| ubuntu | sacarlson, ok thanks its mounted properly | 04:54 |
| royale1223 | Loctrice: no, it didnt | 04:54 |
| loctrice | might as well get teh image and flast libsdl to | 04:54 |
| randomuser | anlek, it just tells bash to execute all the scripts in cron.daily | 04:54 |
| Zealous | sudo apt-get install libsdl-mixer = E: Unable to locat package | 04:54 |
| loctrice | royale: read this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594566 | 04:54 |
| royale1223 | Loctrice: :( | 04:54 |
| loctrice | huh? | 04:54 |
| anlek | randomuser: But it's not installed by default? | 04:54 |
| ubuntu | sacarlson, ok the drive is sda1 i want to install so the commad is sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda1 right? | 04:55 |
| loctrice | royale: sudo aptitude remove connman | 04:55 |
| loctrice | royale: but you won't know why if you don't read the thread | 04:55 |

| ubuntu | sacarlson, ok where did i go wrong with the code | 04:56 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda note: "/dev/sda NOT /dev/sda1 | 04:56 |
| anlek | giiker: I usually don't go beyond 2. | 04:56 |
| loctrice | Zelous: tab complete in apt after libsdl-mixer | 04:56 |
| randomuser | anlek, i guess not. your average ubuntu user isnt using cron.daily, so i suppose it shaves a few kb to leave anacron out | 04:56 |
| randomuser | ??? | 04:56 |
| anlek | randomuser: well once again, thank you for your time (and teaching me a thing or two) | 04:56 |

| mister2 | definitely forgot to do that... | 05:04 |
| ubuntu | sacarlson, So i installed grub ow do i get it to see my os instalsions | 05:04 |
| mister2 | ./configure then make then make install? | 05:04 |
| loctrice | mister2: most install packages with make have a ./configure . You run that to check things like dependancies , etc. it will help you figure out the libs to install | 05:04 |

| mister2 | there's no configure file in the directory with the INSTALL file... | 05:05 |
| sacarlson | ubuntu: yes it should have scanned and found all that was bootable | 05:05 |
| chipmenk | ok | 05:06 |
| ubuntu | sacarlson, thats what i though its just says grub/ | 05:06 |
| loctrice | mister2: in the dir you are compiling from, run ./configure and see if it runs or you get an error | 05:06 |
| chipmenk | so vlc will not play a file from a samba share period | 05:06 |
| loctrice | mister2: I've never seen a make without configure options | 05:06 |

| loctrice | ok, make clean and then regardless of what that does recall make | 05:07 |
| loctrice | see if make has any errors when it runs | 05:07 |
| mister2 | loctrice: i don't have recall installed | 05:08 |

| mister2 | loctrice: i'll grab it in a sec | 05:08 |
| loctrice | mister2: recall = execute make again | 05:08 |

| loctrice | I have no idea how to pm | 05:23 |
| loctrice | heh | 05:23 |
| lucidium | Victini`, ah. that's the problem. it's not run by root by default, so you need to start gedit through the terminal | 05:23 |
| BlackWeb | do you have the root password | 05:23 |
| joshmc | david430: firewall rules would seem to require root access. use `gksudo firestarter` or w/e the name is. | 05:23 |
| Victini` | how | 05:23 |
| lucidium | Victini`, in the terminal use "sudo gedit" | 05:23 |
| lucidium | Victini`, that will let you run gedit with unlimited permissions | 05:23 |
| rcmaehl | What about that 11.04 | 05:24 |
| rcmaehl | What's new | 05:24 |
| joshmc | david430: as a rule of thumb, to start graphical apps as root prepend gksudo to the app. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. | 05:24 |
| rww | rcmaehl: ask #ubuntu+1 ;) | 05:24 |
| lucidium | joshmc, my bad. thank you. | 05:24 |
| loctrice | mister2: you can try to just stick a mock file in there. I don't know what make is looking for though | 05:24 |
| lucidium | Victini`, my apologies, use "gksudo gedit" instead | 05:24 |
| david430 | ty will attempt | 05:25 |
| moi | OK i go! | 05:25 |
| joshmc | lucidium: not a problem! I dont mind sudo but it's from a F2 prompt or something it wont go nowhere ^_^; | 05:25 |
| Victini` | no that worked thanks | 05:25 |

| loctrice | mister2: what about /usr/local/man/man1 | 05:25 |

| dharma | hi i need serious help | 05:44 |

| aStewartS90 | Hi, can someone walk me through removing past kernel versioning from the Grub 1.98 boot menu? I am a major newbie, so please explain this like I am 2 years old. | 05:48 |
| dharma | ok i had some files i was moving around back and forth, possibly dragging and dropping at times, but probably cutting and pasting... and the original files belonging to the shortcuts disappeared :| | 05:48 |
| BlackWeb | aStewart sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:48 |
| dharma | is it possible to recover them? i have no idea where they are, they are just gone and i have empty shortcuts with no file to go with them | 05:49 |
| dharma | it's ubuntu heron | 05:49 |
| mister2 | how do i make a link from a executable to my /bin? | 05:50 |

| DrkCodeman | why doesn't conocial offer its cd's in LTS? only the latest and buggiest? | 05:50 |
| dublisk | cant you download it ? | 05:51 |
| JohnTeddy | I have a few backups with music and pictures... My directories are a bit messy. What is good software to use that will analyze files over 1 meg, and delete duplicates.. so I can start to clean up a bit? | 05:51 |
| JohnTeddy | It's easier to clean up once I've deleted duplicates. | 05:51 |
| dharma | so i had a lot of files on my desktop, some were shortcuts, i cut/pasted them into "All Desktop" and some of the shortcuts may have gotten pasted into the file with the original | 05:51 |
| dharma | omg | 05:51 |
| dharma | did the shortcut overwrite the originals?? | 05:51 |
| dharma | because i changed the shortcut name to the file name? thinking the computer knew, like in windows, that it was not the original but a new file the shortcut | 05:52 |
| Firefishe | Where does ubuntu 10.04 store the config file for the balance control on the sound system? | 05:52 |
| DrkCodeman | of course i can download ubuntu but i would like a official disk i dont see why conocial cant send out LTS disks instead of a broken build | 05:52 |
| madprops | dharma: that cant be because the shortcut and the files had different extensions | 05:52 |
| dharma | ohhh ok whew | 05:53 |
| dharma | so this is recoverable? | 05:53 |
| dharma | (in one case, once i found the parent file in a totally different folder, it made the shortcut come back to life as in solid orange vs. these weird graphics right now on the broken shortcuts) | 05:53 |
| dharma | the broken shortcuts have a blue machine cogs square icon, a padlock icon, and a square with x (envelope-looking) icon | 05:54 |
| madprops | dharma: so you moved some files to another folder and they dissapeared? | 05:54 |
| mister2 | how do i make a link from a executable to my /bin? | 05:55 |
| dharma | yes, i think; or i moved the shortcuts to the parent folder and the parent folders appear to have disappear; only i can't tell where originals were because originals disappeared so i lost track | 05:55 |
| dharma | all i know is files are gone, the ones that go with shortcuts now called broken | 05:55 |

| needhelp1 | their main site looks to be down | 05:58 |
| dharma | guampa: possibly, i placed the link possibly mistakenly into the folder that had the file the link pointed to | 05:59 |

| mister2 | how do i make a link from an executable to my /bin? so i can run it from terminal | 05:59 |

| needhelp1 | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk check out their main page | 05:59 |
| dharma | madprops: but you said i didn't do anything dangerous because the filenames, by virtue of different filename extension, were not the same, right? | 06:00 |
| red2kic | needhelp1: Stop spamming. | 06:01 |
| madprops | dharma: you cant have them being named the same | 06:01 |
| dharma | madprops: ok one file i just found in the trashbin with all its folders, though it says it's a "link" when i click on it all the files are still there, even though the same link in the folder shows as broken | 06:01 |
| === luke is now known as Guest727 | ||
| needhelp1 | red2kic, sorry, just never seen that before | 06:01 |
| dharma | madprops: so did i lose the files permanently? | 06:01 |
| dharma | it's down to 3 files i cant find | 06:01 |
| dharma | i mean folders | 06:01 |
| guampa | if you overwrite the file despite the warning, the file just gets overwritten. original contents are pretty much lost | 06:03 |
| madprops | dharma: have you tried searching for the files? | 06:03 |
| dharma | oh wait it's 4 folders missing ... | 06:03 |
| madprops | try opening a terminal and putting "locate foldername" | 06:03 |
| dharma | madprops: i tried for one folder, it cant find it; the others i have not tried yet; i found one in the trash bin that the link opens up the files in the trash bin, but i dont know how to restore it without losing them | 06:04 |
| dharma | madprops: ok | 06:04 |

| usrusrusr | I have a minecraft server running in my home directory, but i want to let someone else manage it also - what is the best way to do this? | 06:10 |
| dharma | madprops: the folder isnt coming up, that one is one of 4 or 5 lost folders | 06:10 |
| usrusrusr | anyone? | 06:11 |
| guampa | usrusrusr: the simplest is have the two users in some group common to both | 06:11 |
| madprops | dharma: have you tried ubuntus search? | 06:11 |
| usrusrusr | so if i have them in the same group - what folder should i use for that | 06:11 |
| usrusrusr | ya all the results i get are related to samba folder sharing | 06:11 |

| dharma | madprops: i brought some archives onto this machine from my email, some of which had folders of the same name as the missing folder; but the missing folder was tucked away inside Documents, so i don't think the new folders of same name on Desktop would have overwritten them | 06:20 |
| jrwyatt | crackguy install the remote-desktop package | 06:21 |
| madprops | dharma: thats good, you just got to keep looking, if it didn't throw any warnings the folder is probably still there | 06:22 |
| dharma | madprops: ok, and i don't remember if i got any warnings but i don't recall any when i uncompressed the files but they got uncompressed onto my desktop into folders, not into the Documents folder where LostFolder1 was | 06:22 |

| ashray | *surprised to see | 06:44 |
| Andorin | DaPenguin: This being on the CD? | 06:44 |
| DaPenguin | Andorin, sorry, just came in, this is the live cd? | 06:44 |
| Andorin | DaPenguin: Yes. When I try to boot 10.04 from a live CD, the screen goes black after the loading screen. | 06:45 |
| DaPenguin | hmm, haven't used a live cd in a while, but should be an option to change boot options before it actually loads up | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Andorin: a quick websearch would have found you this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html try websearching using direction given rather than immediately asking how and you will learn your OS faster :-) | 06:46 |

| Orborde | My /boot ran out of space, causing a kernel update to fail. I went to Synaptic to remove some old kernels, but the removals also fail. It appears that this is because the old kernels are depended on by a couple of backported module packages, which try to rebuild the initrd file on removal, which fails because /boot is out of space, making it impossible to clear out old kernels from Synaptic. | 06:49 |
| icedtea | Orborde: why not just move one of the older vmlinuz's out of /boot and onto a different partition temporarily? | 06:50 |
| Orborde | icedtea: I rm'd an old initrd and reran Synaptic. That fixed it. I brought it here because this is a bug. | 06:51 |

| ActionParsnip | Orborde: you could move one of the kernel files from a kernel you want to remove then make a symlink to another file so the package system still thinks it exists but it will be drastically smaller. Run the uninstall. If all is well delete the moved file | 06:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Orborde: why have a separate /boot partition? | 06:53 |
| foureight84 | how do you change midori's default search engine? | 06:54 |
| iggy19 | ActionParsnip: maybe it's the only cleartext partition on the drive? | 06:54 |
| Orborde | ActionParsnip: I think that's how the installer set it up by default. I have a dual-boot Win7/Ubuntu setup, and the Ubuntu part (swap and /) is entirely contained in a LUKS-encrypted LVM. | 06:55 |
| Orborde | iggy19: You are correct. | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | I see. I've only seen this sort of issue come of them, so I avoid | 06:56 |
| Orborde | ActionParsnip: Do you have another way of setting up whole disk encryption? I'm open to switching to a better option. | 06:57 |
| dharma | icedtea: something is seroiusly wrong, i clicked on another folder with my friend's name on it, it comes up nothing in there; but when i do another search that folder shows things in it from the terminal search | 06:58 |

| qwebirc44173 | but you can do it a command like replace .. | 07:21 |
| qwebirc44173 | cant remember | 07:21 |
| DaPenguin | YankDownUnder, nah, think I'll just this cracked version i have sitting around lol | 07:21 |
| Vino | okay. so there's a squid package that has 2.0 and is labeled stable, and a squid3 package that's not labeled stable. if i don't want any problems i should go with regular squid right? | 07:21 |
| dharma | icedtea: maybe i moved the file; and i do suspect my other problems had to do with permissions, i never read all these linux books i have here | 07:21 |

| qwebirc44173 | abc1234: sudo /etc/init.d/networking start | 07:28 |
| greppy | camer0ff: you can install it with apt-get install screen | 07:28 |
| qwebirc44173 | abc1234: your installation is pretty "%$ up | 07:29 |
| camer0ff | greppy: thanks, will check it out | 07:29 |
| === root is now known as Guest46197 | ||
| abc1234 | it's ubuntu studio 10.10 | 07:29 |
| Kimmen | camer0ff: or use tmux or byobu | 07:29 |
| mobius2 | I am reading the information located at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AiptekTablet but I do not see anything about karmic specifically | 07:29 |
| qwebirc44173 | abc1234: well, you should use ubuntu desktop edition! | 07:29 |
| camer0ff | Kimmen: is there any difference between screen, tmux, and byobu? | 07:29 |
| abc1234 | Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) | 07:29 |
| abc1234 | utility, e.g. service networking start | 07:29 |
| abc1234 | Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an | 07:29 |
| abc1234 | Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start networking | 07:29 |

| qwebirc44173 | abc1234: try restart | 07:30 |
| dharma | icedtea: so i have my nutshell book here | 07:30 |
| qwebirc44173 | abc1234: and sudo service networking restart | 07:30 |
| qwebirc44173 | abountu1: you should be using Desktop edition. | 07:30 |
| Kimmen | camer0ff: byobu adds a statusbar to screen, tmux is like screen but feels snappier for me =P | 07:30 |
| qwebirc44173 | .. | 07:31 |
| camer0ff | Kimmen: ooh... probably could use the status bar if it shows the shortcuts. however, snappier is nice. I will be running over ssh on the net.... so it may narrow the differences between tmux and screen :P | 07:32 |
| leapy0yo | how could i remove a set of dpkg packages such that libglib-2.0* all those packages matching that are removed? | 07:32 |
| camer0ff | leapy0yo: sudo apt-get purge libglib-2.0* ? | 07:32 |
| Kimmen | camer0ff: tmux also has the statusbar but byobus is more customizable. however byobu is a bit more buggy | 07:33 |
| leapy0yo | camer0ff, it asks for specific packages | 07:33 |
| Kimmen | camer0ff: try them all, there's great guides on the net to get you started =) | 07:33 |
| camer0ff | Kimmen: difference in support for tmux against screen? | 07:34 |
| camer0ff | leapy0yo: oh :( | 07:34 |
| dharma | ok i have the arguments for locate command, just need to be able to form a path | 07:34 |
| camer0ff | Kimmen: do you just ^1, ^2 etc between the screens? | 07:35 |
| Kimmen | camer0ff: the prefix is different in tmux but yes you use the prefix key-combo then 1, 2, 3 etc. tmux codebase is newer | 07:36 |
| chobito01 | How can I get hardware acceleration with firefox 4, on 10.10? | 07:36 |
| camer0ff | Kimmen: just installed tmux then... do i need to restart applications to start using it? | 07:36 |
| === Amaranth is now known as not_gandalf | ||
| Kimmen | camer0ff: read up on the man page to learn the basic key bindings or read online howto change them to your liking. Then just start tmux and launch something in it | 07:37 |
| === not_gandalf is now known as Amaranth | ||
| chobito01 | WebGL works, but witout hardware acceleration, the compositing takes up all the CPU. | 07:37 |

| mlmg317-himts | Hello. I am just wondering if I can recover content of the clipboard in Ubuntu? Can anyone help me? | 07:59 |
| DaPenguin | mlmg317-himts, what do you mean by recover? | 07:59 |
| mlmg317-himts | I copied something, then I accidently copied something after that - thereby losing what I had originally copied. I'd rather not have to type it all over again ... | 07:59 |
| mlmg317-himts | It's like a couple paragraphs worth and very carefully worded ... | 07:59 |
| mlmg317-himts | DaPenguin: Thanks - yeah see the two entries I just sent ... | 08:00 |
| dharma | qwebirc44173: if i can't find the file in documents or desktop, does that mean it was deleted somehow? or that my permissions still might be off? | 08:00 |
| dagon666 | I'll try one more time: im having problems with my software raid, it seems that sometimes not all disks are visible at boot time and the array cannot be assembled. bootdegraded=yes seems not to work | 08:00 |
| DaPenguin | mlmg317-himts, not that i'm aware of unfortunately | 08:00 |
| dharma | qwerbirc44173: i may give up soon for the night though | 08:00 |
| qwebirc44173 | dharma: dude, if you deleted the files permanently you cant recover them just like tha | 08:01 |
| qwebirc44173 | you need to run recovering tools | 08:01 |
| mlmg317-himts | DaPenguin: Hmm. That's strange. It's like a basic function that you would think would have been developed for Ubuntu ... | 08:01 |
| qwebirc44173 | i think lost+found is for damaged files | 08:01 |
| mithran | hi can someone tell me a good native tool to use for ubuntu, to take ssh/telnet of an appliance and store the logs, term type, , etc? | 08:01 |
| qwebirc44173 | dont know more. | 08:01 |
| mithran | is xshell good? | 08:01 |
| ayecee | mlmg317-himts: recovering clipboards? that would be an interesting and rarely used feature, i think | 08:01 |
| dharma | qwebird44173: yes i assumed i couldnt recover them, i forgot about recovery tools since i've only used them in windows | 08:01 |
| qwebirc44173 | mithran: ##linux | 08:01 |
| mlmg317-himts | DaPenguin: Windows has an application where you can see all text copied to the "Clipboard" ... | 08:02 |
| dharma | qwebirc44173: thanks for the help though | 08:02 |
| mlmg317-himts | qwebirc44173: I'm not talking about whole files. I'm simply talking about copied text ... | 08:02 |
| ayecee | mlmg317-himts: however, clipboard will only show you the current contents, not the previously, overwritten contents. | 08:02 |
| mlmg317-himts | ayecee: Oh - OK. So Ubuntu does not have that function? If so, good to know I guess ... | 08:03 |
| qwebirc44173 | mlmg317-himts: c' | 08:03 |
| qwebirc44173 | ?? | 08:03 |
| DaPenguin | mlmg317-himts, the clipboard is really designed as a temporary buffer for content transport, not as a long term storage space | 08:03 |
| Eivo | Hi, I hope I'm in the right place. I'm brand new to Ubuntu and I don't know if I did something wrong. I am receiving a message titles "Requires installation of untrusted packages" when I try to install anything from the Ubuntu Software Center. I haven't had this before and was wondering how I could fix it. | 08:03 |
| qwebirc44173 | mlmg317-himts: I know it's in memory RAM... lol | 08:03 |
| qwebirc44173 | Eivo: what are you trying to install? | 08:03 |
| qwebirc44173 | Eivo: it seems you changed the repositories | 08:04 |
| mlmg317-himts | DaPenguin: Right - that would make sense ... I just wondered if Ubuntu/Linux has a function like this - because Windows prompts you asking whether or not you want to remove all contents from the Clipboard ... | 08:04 |
| Eivo | Well I tried several things, some games but currently Stellarium. | 08:04 |
| Ali_ix | hi, i am having some trouble with my onoard intel x4500 vga and new kernels, system crashes during startup right after resolution changes (modesetting or plymouth) and nothing works anymore (mouse, keyboard, services) and screens starts flicking random colored lines or spots. I cant boot with any kernel newer than 2.6.31 | 08:04 |
| ayecee | mlmg317-himts: i, for one, have nt seen that prompt in windows. | 08:04 |
| mlmg317-himts | qwebirc44173: Yeah - you're right. I do love Linux for that reason, that it runs so efficiently ... | 08:04 |
| DaPenguin | mlmg317-himts, yeah, not that I know of. that function requires a cache of the clipboard to be made | 08:04 |
| mithran | qwebirc44173: any other channel, that would be more appropriate? | 08:05 |
| qwebirc44173 | mithran: try #ubuntu-server | 08:05 |
| mlmg317-himts | ayecee: Hmm. Really? Because I have. Maybe I'm just describing it wrong. DaPenguin describes it when with the term "cache". | 08:05 |
| qwebirc44173 | archlinux | 08:05 |
| qwebirc44173 | etc | 08:05 |
| DaPenguin | mlmg317-himts, there might be an improved clipboard app out there somewhere, but default install doesn't have it | 08:05 |
| Eivo | Not sure how I would have changed them. | 08:05 |
| ayecee | mlmg317-himts: it may be something seen in a particular application. | 08:06 |
| mlmg317-himts | DaPenguin: Yeah. Could be. OK - not that big of a deal. Just wondered. I'll just have to retype it ... | 08:06 |
| mlmg317-himts | DaPenguin: Thanks! | 08:06 |

| ayecee | alkisg: i was imagining some other ntp server. | 08:11 |
| alkisg | ayecee: ok, thank you, so I hope this isn't why I'm not getting time sync, looking elsewhere... | 08:11 |

| noob | qwebird44173 what is your q? | 08:12 |
| qwebirc44173 | it's a problem not a question | 08:12 |
| kofi | Maybe I could ask a stupid question about access rights: I want a user to have access to specific apache logs. But just get access denied | 08:12 |
| ayecee | there is no q, qwebirc44173 is just tired of not getting help after helping so much | 08:12 |

| qwebirc44173 | :) | 08:13 |
| ayecee | kofi: add the user to the group that owns the apache logs, perhaps | 08:13 |
| kofi | I created a group 'foo' whose member are foobar and www-data. | 08:14 |
| === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay | ||
| ayecee | qwebirc44173: acpi bug, probably depends on your specific hardware. though there may be a fix in newer kernels. it's unlikely. | 08:14 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, so the full power off command isn't getting sent to the mobo. probably either a kernel option or just a particularity of your hardware | 08:14 |
| ayecee | kofi: is www-data a user or a group? | 08:14 |
| Gnea | alkisg: you could also just install ntpd on your bootserver and have them all point to that | 08:14 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: if I press power button one time while in BIOS everything shuts down | 08:15 |
| qwebirc44173 | kernel bug? | 08:15 |
| kofi | ayecee: www-data normally is the user or group apache runs under? | 08:15 |
| mobius2 | Stupendoussteve, are you certain about those instructions? I followed them carefully, and also made certain that the aiptek-input package was installed first.... but I still get a "no sane response" when I do dmesg just checking and thanks for the input | 08:15 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, probably, or just the way the default kernel is built | 08:15 |
| ayecee | kofi: are the log files owned by foo, or are they owned by www-data? | 08:15 |
| alkisg | Gnea: good idea, will probably do that in the future | 08:15 |
| Gnea | alkisg: then just have the bootserver keep in sync with pool.ntp.org now and then | 08:16 |
| alkisg | Got it | 08:16 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, think of it this way, you ever had a universal remote that didn't work your tv all the way? same thing here | 08:16 |
| Gnea | alkisg: cheers | 08:16 |
| qwebirc44173 | no I never had one | 08:16 |
| kofi | ayecee: ATM they are even owned by the user himself and the group foo | 08:17 |
| ferengee | qwebirc44173, what is your mobo type | 08:17 |
| ferengee | qwebirc44173, and do u use apm or acpi | 08:17 |
| qwebirc44173 | ferengee: old one > amd pc chips m810lmr aka lr-h | 08:17 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, in short, google your motherboard and see if #1 it's a known problem and #2 if there's a known fix | 08:17 |
| qwebirc44173 | ferengee: tried to disable it and enale | 08:17 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: already did lol | 08:18 |
| ferengee | qwebirc44173, do you have the apm module loaded | 08:18 |
| qwebirc44173 | i will try another distro | 08:18 |
| ayecee | kofi: the user himself is part of group foo, and he still gets access enied? | 08:18 |
| qwebirc44173 | ferengee: do you want to check the manual? | 08:18 |
| qwebirc44173 | i can give the pdf link | 08:18 |
| ayecee | qwebirc44173: sure, another distro always solves the problem | 08:18 |
| qwebirc44173 | ayecee: stop with irony | 08:18 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, APM support probably isn't included in the default -generic kernel | 08:19 |
| kofi | ayecee: foo:x:1003:www-data,fooBar | 08:19 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: not in PAE also | 08:19 |
| DaPenguin | err, for your mobo anyway | 08:19 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, you might need to reroll your own kernel then | 08:19 |
| ayecee | qwebirc44173: it's not too late to try another distro, right now. | 08:19 |
| ferengee | qwebirc44173, this mobo should support acpi, the current default. But acpi is known to be buggy | 08:20 |
| qwebirc44173 | ayecee: it's not too late to stop hilighting me | 08:20 |
| Stupendoussteve | mobius2: Not certain at all. Are you stuck at Karmic or can you use a newer version? That may help with some issues | 08:20 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, or the appropriate modules may even be modprobe-able | 08:20 |
| ayecee | kofi: where is that from? | 08:20 |
| qwebirc44173 | hm | 08:20 |
| ayecee | kofi: if that's from /etc/passwd, it's broken. a user can only have one promary group, not two. | 08:21 |
| ayecee | kofi: additional groups would come via /etc/groups | 08:21 |
| Stupendoussteve | mobius2: Not that it would necessarily, but it looks like later versions use that completely new way of configuring it | 08:21 |
| kofi | no /etc/group | 08:22 |
| ayecee | qwebirc44173: what other distributions have you considered? | 08:22 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, ubuntu treats the kernel a little different than most distros, it uses a barebones init image and modprobes literally EVERYTHING | 08:22 |
| ayecee | kofi: has foo logged out and logged in again since the change? | 08:23 |
| kofi | jep, have done the chown several times as root then 'su foo' and exit serveral times | 08:24 |
| kofi | Here is a paste of how I did: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/363683/ | 08:25 |

| kofi | should have been written foorpm ;) | 08:27 |
| ayecee | qwebirc44173: it would be more helpful to have the model of the motherboard. | 08:27 |
| ayecee | kofi: I guess this is not a paste of the actual commands used then | 08:28 |
| qwebirc44173 | ayecee: already told. scroll up | 08:28 |
| qwebirc44173 | ayecee: you are just trying to get a conflict not helping at all | 08:28 |
| kofi | I replaced remi -> foo | 08:28 |
| kofi | Otherwise exactly the commands used | 08:28 |
| ayecee | qwebirc44173: scrolling is hard on my finger. maybe you could just provide the model number for people who are here now instead of then. | 08:29 |
| qwebirc44173 | ayecee: you were he already | 08:29 |
| ayecee | qwebirc44173: my client was here already. I was killing virtual people. | 08:29 |

| DaPenguin | oh god, it's in a .doc format, excellent linux support here </sarcasm> | 08:30 |
| Technicus | In the repositiory, what are linux-backports-modules-* for? | 08:31 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, hmm, onboard agp graphics chipset, might be part of the problem... | 08:31 |
| ayecee | Technicus: in the case of the wireless ones, they're backports of the wireless modules from later kernel trees. is that what you mean? | 08:31 |
| JamesN_ | hi how do i install the php=gd package | 08:33 |
| JamesN_ | i already have php5 installed | 08:33 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: how do you explain the fact that power button shuts everything down in BIOS but not in the OS? must be a software problem | 08:33 |
| ayecee | JamesN_: is that the correct package name? | 08:33 |
| mehdi | can i ask here about H.D.D? | 08:33 |
| Technicus | ayecee: I am more interested in *-alsa-*, because I am trying to use a usb audio interface that is not working well on Mavric but worked just fine on Lucid. It was suggested that I try a the kernel from Lucid on the Mavric install. I am not sure about this because whenever I mess with the kernel it usually ends in catastrophic failure. | 08:34 |
| JamesN_ | ayecee: php gd | 08:34 |
| JamesN_ | ayecee: i dunno | 08:34 |
| kofi | qwebirc44173: It can also be a problem with your power supply | 08:34 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, what do you mean, power button is suspending the os? | 08:34 |
| ohsix | . | 08:34 |
| ayecee | JamesN_: apt-get install php5-gd | 08:34 |
| ohsix | kofi: power buttons in the acpi era aren't directly connected to the power supply | 08:34 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: no. when im in bios i press power button and computer shuts down completely | 08:34 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: when i try to shutdown from OS it does not | 08:35 |
| ayecee | Technicus: using the backports sounds like a good interim step in trying to get it to work then. | 08:35 |
| kofi | ohsix: I know but I had a Windows PC (where ACPI is less troubel, *cough* and fans just continued working after poweroff) | 08:35 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, does the actual power button power down the machine? | 08:35 |
| ohsix | thats nice | 08:35 |
| ayecee | qwebirc44173: that does seem like a software problem. maybe if we had the motherboard model, we could find the bug report on which that had been filed. | 08:35 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: yes, it does but after X seconds | 08:35 |
| daniel | DaPenguin: Yes, it obviously does - has to be a software problem. | 08:36 |
| JamesN_ | !info php5-gd | 08:36 |
| ubottu | php5-gd (source: php5): GD module for php5. In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.3-1ubuntu9.3 (maverick), package size 33 kB, installed size 152 kB | 08:36 |
| qwebirc44173 | ayecee: for the second time: amd pc chips m810lmr | 08:36 |
| ayecee | qwebirc44173: that is the first time for me. let's see what comes up. | 08:36 |
| daniel | I was thinking that it might be a problem with the shutdown command that somehow "only" leads to a suspend/sleep mode, not to a real shutdown | 08:37 |
| Technicus | ayecee: I have been at this for days, me an another character, who also has the same device who is going through the same senerio . . . he opted to go back to Lucid, I however did not do a dual install, and have no Lucid to go back to & don't feel like installing Ubuntu again . . . | 08:37 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, daniel that's what i'm thinking too | 08:37 |
| Technicus | . . . but if it comes to it I will. | 08:37 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: thats why I asked how to turn off power saving in UBuntu | 08:37 |
| qwebirc44173 | using the terminal. | 08:37 |
| daniel | I've had entire boot manage files screwed up immediately after a fresh install, so maybe something went wrong. | 08:38 |
| Kimmen | qwebirc44173: have you tried RSEIUB and see if it reboots? | 08:38 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, you have to boot with the noacpi option | 08:38 |
| Technicus | So anyway, what do backports do? | 08:38 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: in grub? | 08:38 |
| Kimmen | or was it REISUB? =S | 08:38 |
| === krabbe is now known as Krabbe | ||
| qwebirc44173 | reisub i think | 08:39 |
| qwebirc44173 | alt+print then reisub right | 08:39 |
| ayecee | Technicus: backports are copies of the source from later versions of the kernel into earlier versions of the kernel. | 08:39 |
| DaPenguin | yeah, you can put the option in /etc/defaults/grub, and then sudo update-grub and then reboot | 08:39 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: already did that | 08:39 |
| qwebirc44173 | :) | 08:39 |
| qwebirc44173 | let me paste | 08:39 |
| Kimmen | Technicus: backports uses user compiled packages, i.e. fif you compiled alsa for one kernel than install new kernel, alsa backport installs the previously compiled alsa driver for the new kernel | 08:39 |
| qwebirc44173 | [07:01] <qwebirc44173> How can I use "pci=noacpi" option in Grub? | 08:39 |
| qwebirc44173 | [07:02] <ActionParsnip> qwebirc44173: add it next to: quiet splash in /etc/default/grub then run: sudo update-grub | 08:40 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, don't think you even need the pci= option for that | 08:40 |
| qwebirc44173 | DaPenguin: just "acpi" ? | 08:40 |
| qwebirc44173 | oops | 08:40 |
| qwebirc44173 | no acpi | 08:40 |
| qwebirc44173 | noacpi? | 08:40 |
| ayecee | qwebirc44173: maybe acpi=off | 08:41 |
| ayecee | noapic would be something different | 08:42 |
| Technicus | Kimmen: ayecee: That is what I was kind of thinking, but I just don't entirely understand . . . after the number of times I tryed modifying kernels and completely hosing my system I want to be sure about what I am doing. Are either of you able to direct me to a useful wiki about this? | 08:42 |
| DaPenguin | qwebirc44173, do you have the kbd power on/off jumper shorted? | 08:43 |

| ayecee | Technicus: I'm not sure what you're asking. Backports allow you to use newer code without using a newer kernel. | 08:44 |
| ohsix | Kimmen: you mentioned the existing backport packages right | 08:44 |
| Kimmen | yup | 08:45 |
| Technicus | ayecee: AHH, I was thinking it was a newer kernel with older modules. | 08:45 |
| Technicus | ayecee: I'm just not sure what I'n doing anymore. | 08:46 |
| Kimmen | Technicus: ohsix: ayecee: it's both, correct me if I'm wrong but backports repo is for new code, backport packages are what I was talking about? | 08:46 |

| kelvinella | hi what is localStorage files? | 08:47 |
| kelvinella | i am using ubuntu 8.04 dell version, and recently my chrome start giving me this error | 08:47 |
| ayecee | Kimmen: we're referring to backports packages | 08:48 |
| kelvinella | If you see this message every time you start AdBlock, please make sure you are not using a file cleaner that also cleans 'localStorage' files. | 08:48 |
| kelvinella | how to fix it? | 08:49 |
| ayecee | kelvinella: no idea. maybe the chrome adblock developer has a FAQ on this | 08:49 |
| Kimmen | ayecee: how to separate them from the user compiled packages that show up as backport packages? | 08:49 |
| ayecee | it's not related to the firefox adblock plugin. | 08:49 |
| kelvinella | ? | 08:50 |
| ayecee | kelvinella: the ? is to what? | 08:50 |
| ayecee | Kimmen: not sure. do you have a lot of ppa sources, or what? | 08:51 |
| solstice | hi .I thought alternate install cd was dropped. but I still see it in the beta 1 list of CD ! | 08:51 |
| ayecee | solstice: good! | 08:51 |
| Kimmen | no but when I had lucid and alsa 1.0.23 compiled from source I installed the alsa backport package for every new kernel, else I got no sound since it reverted to alsa 1.0.something | 08:52 |
| kelvinella | which extension is equivalent to adblock plus in ff for chrome? | 08:52 |
| solstice | not good! alternate was supposed to be merged into normal install cd. | 08:52 |
| Ors | Hi there, I am running Ubuntu Network and unable to switch off the microphone. Anyone could help? | 08:52 |
| kofi | Found out my problem: the folder for apache logs itself didn't allow any users outside adm group to list the folder | 08:53 |
| ayecee | Kimmen: I see we're no longer talking about backport packages. | 08:53 |
| Kimmen | kofi: that's standard | 08:53 |
| ayecee | kelvinella: the chrome adblock is the closest thing to adblock plus in ff, but it's not a related project. | 08:53 |
| kelvinella | what about adblock plus for chrome? | 08:53 |
| ayecee | solstice: source? | 08:53 |
| Kimmen | ayecee: probably just me that's confused =) | 08:54 |
| ayecee | kelvinella: there is none. | 08:54 |
| kofi | Kimmen: Exactly but I wanted to have one user without adm membership to have access to some of the logs | 08:54 |
| kelvinella | it is by wladimir palant | 08:54 |
| kelvinella | same author for adblock plus in ff | 08:54 |
| ayecee | kelvinella: it may be surprising to realize that firefox plugins don't work in chrome, and vice versa | 08:54 |
| kelvinella | so which adblock for chrome should i choose there are many | 08:55 |

| Starminn | If I'm using a PAE kernel, do I still need the regular kernel for it to work? | 09:34 |
| Cursarion | DaPenguin: meaning? Fedora's pace is annoyingly fast (6 months until new major version is released, 12 months until stuff won't update etc. in the old version), is Ubuntu faster? | 09:34 |
| ikonia | Cursarion: they are both rolling 6 month distros | 09:35 |
| DaPenguin | Cursarion, 6 month release cycle | 09:35 |
| ikonia | actually ubuntu isn't a "rolling" distro, sorry, bad wording | 09:35 |

| Cursarion | yep. I'll mainly consider a distribution with slower pace | 09:48 |
| Starminn | ikonia: How long do you suggest people wait before upgrading to the official releases of new versiosn of Ubuntu (with regards to bug fixes, etc.). For example, how long should people have waited between 10.04->10.10, and likewise between 10.10->11.04? | 09:48 |
| ruan | yeah, im not upgrading if 11.04 is unstable | 09:49 |
| dare | ej | 09:50 |
| ikonia | Starminn: release day is fine, the only problem with doing it on release day is the repos are slow as people with little reason feel the need to have the bigger version numbers for no reason | 09:51 |
| ikonia | Starminn: any day after release day is fine | 09:51 |
| ruan | you can just switch mirrors for that | 09:52 |
| ikonia | ruan: normally most mirrors are swamped | 09:52 |
| Starminn | ikonia: I just recall reading a lot about how Maverick apparently had a lot of bugs and wasn't considered "stable" by many users until a month or two after. Does this happen with all versions (i.e. Whiney people), or what? | 09:52 |
| ikonia | the mirrors are swamped before days as foolish people constantly try to hit them to see when the iso's are up | 09:52 |
| ruan | hmm, i'll see | 09:52 |
| ikonia | Starminn: that's just users talking, if it's not stable, it doesn't get released | 09:53 |
| ruan | since my location isn't so linux popular, but it has 5 mirrors | 09:53 |
| Starminn | ikonia: Thought as much. | 09:53 |
| Starminn | ikonia: How long do you, personally, wait? | 09:53 |
| ikonia | Starminn: if a user has a problem, eg: nvidia card doesn't work, they start ranting that it's unstable, | 09:53 |
| ikonia | Starminn: I upgrade when I have a reason or need to, I keep a current machine for development/bugs/research but I'm not in a rush on release day to get that as I normally know what's there having followed the development | 09:53 |
| Starminn | ikonia: Are there really any perks to upgrading? I mean, for example, I've tested out the Alphas, etc., so I, like you, know what's there, but is there any real perk to getting the 'latest and greatest' sooner? Especially when other versions have a fairly decent EOLs? | 09:55 |
| ikonia | Starminn: that's a personal decision for you, if you want/need something thats in the later version, then that is your benifit, if not, no | 09:57 |
| Starminn | ikonia: Sounds reasonable enough. | 09:57 |

| ikonia | Starminn: can't think off the top of me head, some music players use it I believe, parts of MythTV like it for display, but I'm not sure if that's linked to KDE | 10:04 |
| Starminn | ikonia ruan: Ah. So, again, just apps that were made with KDE. For example, KSnake or KBounce in the repos. Right? | 10:05 |
| ruan | Starminn: it could include some apps that aren't made with kde, but i havent found any yet | 10:07 |
| ikonia | Starminn: not all QT apps are kde | 10:07 |
| ikonia | but it's a small list | 10:07 |
| Starminn | ikonia ruan: Ah. Gotcha. So QT != KDE, but KDE == QT right? | 10:07 |

| ferengee | userdel, and do not save anything on that disk | 10:12 |
| ferengee | userdel photorec is in the testdisk package | 10:13 |
| userdel | ferengee : please tell me complete procedure . i have installed testdisk | 10:13 |
| qwebirc44173 | output of /sys/power/disk is test testproc [shutdown] reboot Is this the reason I cant shutdown the system properly? | 10:14 |
| ferengee | userdel, have you mounted the sd card? if so umount it | 10:14 |
| userdel | ferengee: ok then. | 10:15 |
| ferengee | userdel, become root | 10:15 |
| ferengee | userdel, start photorec | 10:15 |
| ferengee | userdel, select the correct device for the sd card and hit proceed | 10:16 |
| userdel | ferengee: ok | 10:16 |
| userdel | ferengee: intel pc partition? | 10:16 |
| ferengee | userdel, do you use the whole device or a partition on the disk | 10:16 |
| morgan | anyone got a source for good dual booting info. Building a HTPC and I want a windows and 2 linux installs on it.. Just looking for something definitive | 10:17 |
| userdel | ferengee: i think there is no partition. should i choose none? | 10:17 |
| ferengee | userdel, yes | 10:17 |
| userdel | ferengee: ok | 10:17 |
| ferengee | userdel, choose the 'other' filesystem type | 10:18 |
| ikonia | morgan: 2 linux installs....Hmmmm with the current grub2 layout, I don't believe that is a wise move | 10:18 |
| ferengee | userdel, the one for fat etc | 10:18 |
| userdel | ferengee: ok. done .should i start recovery. where will it recover and store | 10:18 |
| c4pt | can anyone tell me offhand what deb package is used in question with visual effects in the System>Apperance panel ? http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Desktop_Visual_Effects | 10:18 |
| ferengee | userdel, choose a location that has enough free space | 10:18 |
| c4pt | << messed up X pretty bad | 10:19 |
| === FireCrotch is now known as nickmoeck | ||
| ferengee | usedel, know that all the deleted file space could be used by recovered files | 10:19 |
| coz_ | good day all | 10:19 |
| ferengee | userdel, so if you have a sd card of 4GB then you might need 4GB free to restore | 10:19 |
| ^Phantom^ | why did they cancel any future ubuntu development? | 10:19 |
| Starminn | I pop a CD in, I am unable to read it, but as soon as I eject it it's fine and I can view the contents. (Only this CD, no others) | 10:20 |
| coz_ | ^Phantom^, for what? | 10:20 |
| ferengee | userdel, Photorec will ask you where to save the recovered files | 10:20 |
| userdel | ferengee: ok.i have started the recovery. i have 8GB sd card and similar free memoryno problems for that. | 10:20 |
| c4pt | ?? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Starminn: how do you know it's fine after you eject it | 10:20 |
| morgan | ikonia - mostly it's so you always have access to ya cpu. when i crash my linux, my windows boot gets me outta the @$*#%.. | 10:21 |
| ferengee | userdel, good luck then. Photorec will create multiple recup_dir folders in which you can find (partially) recoverd files | 10:21 |
| morgan | hence my 2nd linux install will always get me outta the #$@% | 10:21 |
| ikonia | morgan: if you have to star out words, don't say them | 10:21 |
| morgan | sorry, its an aussie thing i guess | 10:22 |
| erUSUL | ^Phantom^: april's fool XXDD | 10:22 |
| === Chousuke_ is now known as Chousuke | ||
| Starminn | ikonia: Well, I'm putting music onto my computer, so it's an Audio CD. So in Nautilus it lists all your media (or I can browse to /media, either one), and it appears as "Audio Disc" but it doesn't appear to be mount. So I say to mount it, nothing happens. So I eject it (manually, from the tower), and once it comes out, I can browse the files. | 10:22 |
| ^Phantom^ | erUSUL, yep | 10:22 |
| ikonia | morgan: a dual boot with linux and windows if fine as windows doesn't care about grub, it gets more complext when you have 2 linux distros on there, that both want to modify grub, that's isolated to one distro | 10:22 |
| c4pt | bbiab | 10:22 |
| userdel | ferengee: ok. i am able to see some non zero jpg files. thanks a lot. | 10:22 |
| ferengee | userdel, np | 10:22 |
| userdel | ferengee: but how can it give such a heart attack | 10:23 |
| userdel | ferengee: how can mkdir and mv destroy data | 10:23 |
| morgan | ikonia - recently I killed gdm with xbmc-live - my bad. But none of my previous distros would boot from grub. Not a fan of windows, I just want a hardwired linux install that will save the day | 10:23 |
| ikonia | morgan: hardwired linux distro ? | 10:24 |
| ikonia | morgan: pretty much all distros boot with grub | 10:24 |
| ikonia | morgan: what areyou talking about | 10:24 |
| ferengee | userdel, it is probably a dead sector on your sdcard | 10:24 |
| ferengee | userdel or a bad umount | 10:25 |
| Curly_Q | Ikonia are you saying that all ISO files are GRUB installed? | 10:26 |
| morgan | ikonia - sorry, i don't wanna dig for a live cd when I can have an alternate linux install on its own partition which will ALWAYS work as a backup | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Curly_Q: no, I'm saying that pretty much all linux distros install grub and boot from it as part of the install process | 10:26 |
| Starminn | ikonia: Aha! Now we're making progress! Here's the error: http://imagebin.org/146042 | 10:26 |
| ferengee | userdel, on fat, the file allocation table contains all references to the file names. mv is writing in that table, as is creating a directory | 10:26 |
| ferengee | userdel, so the data stays on the same place, only the references are updated. But if the update of the fat fails, your files seem to be gone | 10:27 |
| ikonia | morgan: nothing wrong with a windows/linux dusl boot system, I just don't know what you mean by "hardwired linux distro" | 10:27 |
| Starminn | ikonia: He means on the HDD in a partition as opposed to a LiveCD | 10:27 |
| ikonia | ok, so that's simple, install windows, install a linux distro | 10:28 |
| morgan | ikonia - every update gives a new option on grub menu yes? but if I do something wrong, none of those options work. yeah, i wanna seperate install for backup. windows is only for windows progs. i hate it. | 10:28 |
| ikonia | morgan: no | 10:28 |
| ikonia | morgan: if you do something wrong, those options won't be affected, grub just boots the kernel, nothing more | 10:29 |
| Curly_Q | OK. I remember the old Loadlin installer. | 10:29 |
| morgan | ikonia - installed xbmc live (which uninstalled gdm), without windows to google the prob I would've bricked my computer. can't i have a failsafe install? | 10:29 |
| ikonia | morgan: what you've just said makes no sense | 10:30 |
| coz_ | morgan, why did you install xbmc live instead of just installing xbmc from the repository? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | morgan: you install xmbc live - it uninstalled gdm, that has nothing to do with your capabilities to boot windows from grub | 10:30 |
| userdel | ferengee: ok. so there is no problem with commands . that's reliable atleast . or should we always create a backup before doing it. | 10:30 |
| coz_ | morgan, do you get to a login prompt at all | 10:31 |
| morgan | ikonia - say i have no windows. and no live cd. can't i have a my working linux and a failsafe linux | 10:31 |
| ferengee | userdel, my personal policy is that disks cannot be trusted, so have your important stuff at atleast 2 places at all times | 10:31 |
| ikonia | morgan: that's not the way to deal with it, | 10:31 |
| Curly_Q | Ikonia, I remember the old Linux loader with Mount Point in text mode. | 10:31 |
| ikonia | morgan: a dual boot linux situation will make it more complex to manage and more likley to go wrong than just setting up your box and leaving it alone | 10:32 |
| ikonia | Curly_Q: you said that | 10:32 |
| userdel | ferengee: is there any way to restore with original names . | 10:32 |
| et_ | I lost the session chooser bar in the login screen, wondering how to get it back. | 10:32 |
| morgan | fairy nuff. was just an idea i wanted to explore, i beleive ya (keep a live cd eh?) cheers | 10:32 |
| et_ | and I don't seem to find the gdm config file anywhere. | 10:32 |
| ferengee | userdel, recently i recovered a 500GB usb disk for someone, but all filenames are missing. It isn't much fun to structure that data again from the meta data (using file, exif2 etc) | 10:32 |
| ferengee | userdel, since they are photograps asume | 10:33 |
| ferengee | userdel, they contain exif info | 10:33 |
| et_ | I lost the session chooser bar in the login screen, wondering how to get it back. And my gdm config files are missing. Weird.. | 10:33 |
| ferengee | userdel, i use exiv2 to obtain that information | 10:34 |
| ferengee | userdel, you might be able to reconstruct filenames using that info | 10:34 |
| morgan | ikonia - while i have a guru at hand. i accidentaly associated items in my places menu with a program.. don't know how to break that association? | 10:35 |
| userdel | ferengee:ok will try. thanks a lot for all the help. | 10:35 |
| tr3nton | does anyone know where I can find the md5 sum of natty beta 1? I been trying to create a usb startup disk, but it won't let me add the iso, so just want to check I've got the right file, without errors | 10:36 |

| bouldingue | #ubuntu-fr | 10:38 |
| dare | join #gdku27 | 10:39 |
| ferengee | userdel, as soon as you have all your data back, you could use the testdisk program to try to recreate a valid fat with filenames on your sdcard | 10:40 |
| Curly_Q | Ikonia I agree with you. Can you imagine you trying to remotely reboot a dual boot box? | 10:43 |
| ikonia | Curly_Q: I do it all the time | 10:43 |
| userdel | ferengee:not a bad idea. will try | 10:43 |
| Curly_Q | Ikonia, that is OK. But as you said there are complications involved. It is better to just leave the box alone. | 10:44 |
| Curly_Q | I like to dedicate Windows box for Windows and Linux for Linux. Spend a few buck and do it right. | 10:45 |
| Curly_Q | Ikonia, I use a separate Hard Drive for my SWAP. The box runs much faster. | 10:46 |

| dagon666 | guys Im having problems booting from degraded raid array in ubuntu 10.10 | 10:47 |
| dagon666 | can anyone help | 10:47 |
| mustermann | Hi everyone, is there a quick way to shorten the directory path in the terminal? | 10:48 |
| coz_ | dagon666, I dont think i can,, i havent used raid since forever,,,if no one here can help,,it's possible that maybe someone in ##linux might be able to | 10:48 |
| Diverdude | do you guys run any kind of antivirus programs on your ubuntu machines? | 10:48 |
| Curly_Q | Woozly you can grep the application and enter in the terminal window the name of the application. | 10:49 |
| ikonia | Curly_Q: is there a reason you are telling me this information ? | 10:49 |
| coz_ | Diverdude, if you want one it is called clamav with clamtk as the front end | 10:49 |
| Curly_Q | Ikonia, I was just talking with you. | 10:49 |
| ikonia | dagon666: what's up | 10:49 |
| mustermann | i mean the working directory currently displayed, can it be shortend? | 10:49 |
| qwebirc44173 | can IRQ can cause shutdown problems? | 10:49 |
| Axlin | woozly: if i'm interpreting your question correctly, you could look at gnome-do, kupfer, synapse, or launchy (tha i know of) | 10:49 |
| woozly | Axlin, thank you | 10:49 |
| shuttle | hi, need help where i can find sth about saving ubuntu-os to partition | 10:49 |
| Diverdude | coz_, but is it necessary? I mean no viruses or malware or the like is written for linux anyway right? | 10:50 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: my raid array is driving my crazy. I have bootdegraded=true, nevertheless it cannot boot and I land up in initramfs shell | 10:50 |
| Curly_Q | Qwebirc44173 yes it can if your BIOS settings are turned off. If IRQ in BIOS is shut off, yes. | 10:50 |
| Zealous | Do i need a firewall for linux? | 10:50 |
| dagon666 | shuttle: what do you mean ? | 10:50 |
| coz_ | Diverdude, well not generally especially for a linux Desktop,, most of the liunux viruses are geared towards servers as far as I know and even my nephew got one on his linux server and he is a window addict :) | 10:51 |
| Starminn | !firewall | Zealous | 10:51 |
| ubottu | Zealous: 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. | 10:51 |
| coz_ | Diverdude, it cant hurt for sure | 10:51 |
| qwebirc44173 | Curly_Q: Allocate IRQ for PCI VGA yes | 10:51 |
| coz_ | Diverdude, just done scan your windows installation with it or it will most likely render it un bootable :) | 10:51 |
| shuttle | dagon666: when ubuntu crashes i dont want to reinstall vpn and dont wanna set up firefox | 10:51 |
| Zealous | danka Starminn | 10:51 |
| Zealous | reading over it now | 10:51 |
| Starminn | Zealous: :) But basically, no. IT all comes straight out-of-the-box | 10:52 |
| dagon666 | shuttle: do you want to make a complete partition image ? | 10:52 |
| Starminn | Zealous: Those links are for managing it. The defaults are usually fine. | 10:52 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: can you help | 10:52 |
| shuttle | dagon666: i want to image my ubuntu-partition | 10:52 |
| Curly_Q | Qwebirc44173, I don't know what you have there as a system or the BIOS, but in general, if the BIOS has been tampered with, I personally go into the BIOS and reset it to factory settings and work from there. Make sure you set the Plug N Play settings. That makes a difference. | 10:52 |
| shuttle | dagon666: instead of reinstall lubuntu when it crashes i want to backup from image | 10:53 |
| qwebirc44173 | Curly_Q: already did that | 10:53 |
| dagon666 | shuttle: the easiest solution dd if=/dev/<your_part> of=<part_image_on different_part> bs=1024k | 10:53 |
| Curly_Q | OK. | 10:53 |
| cbf | i just enabled the root account by setting a password but as soon as i supply that password via ssh, i am disconnected. if i supply the wrong password it re-prompts me to type a password. what am i doing wrong? | 10:53 |
| Curly_Q | So what is the situation then? | 10:53 |
| dagon666 | shuttle: additionally you can compress it | 10:54 |
| cbf | sshd_config seems to say root logins are allowed too | 10:54 |
| ikonia | dagon666: give me 2 minutes, on the phone | 10:54 |
| shuttle | dagon666: is there a package with gui available? | 10:54 |
| user | i changed the langauge of edubuntu 10.10 from english to albanian and sonce then i cant see new files i save from programs on the desktop | 10:54 |
| dagon666 | maybe there is bu I do not care much about such stuff | 10:54 |
| user | help? | 10:55 |
| Axlin | Zealous: as stated, it comes with the distro. but i've found that gufw is the most reliable GUI method of managing it, though managing ufw rules through the command line isn't too difficult if you're willing to learn how :) | 10:55 |
| user | albanian language support | 10:55 |
| shuttle | dagon666: ok thx | 10:55 |
| ferengee | shuttle, if dd for some reason fails on your existing partition, use dd_rescue | 10:56 |
| dagon666 | shuttle: you can also use dump -its a true backup program | 10:56 |
| ferengee | shuttle, and remember that you should not make an image of a mounted filesystem | 10:56 |
| shuttle | ok thx | 10:57 |
| Curly_Q | Qwebirc44173 what hardware are you running on that box? | 10:57 |
| ferengee | shuttle, and another tip :) try to recover your install from your image. So that you know your backup actually works | 10:58 |
| shuttle | ok, and i wanted to ask, whats a good mp3-convert-package? | 10:59 |
| UDPError | Hey guys. I'm currently dual booting Windows 7 and Fedora 13. I was wondering how would I replace my fedora with Ubuntu? | 10:59 |
| coz_ | UDPError, just install ubuntu over fedora | 11:00 |
| coz_ | UDPError, should be that simple | 11:00 |
| UDPError | will replace the bootloader with grub? | 11:00 |
| coz_ | UDPError, I am assuming it will... I have not done this with fedora so I am not positive | 11:01 |
| ferengee | shuttle, i like to use ffmpeg, but again that is commandline stuff | 11:01 |
| dagon666 | UDPError: it would be better to reformat unfortunatelly, both systems come from completely different lines and conflicts may occur | 11:01 |
| coz_ | shuttle, sudo apt-get install ffmpeg,,, then cd to the location of the file you want to convert and ffmpeg -i nameof.whichever nameofmp3 | 11:02 |
| rigved | UDPError: format the /boot and the /root partitions while installing ubuntu | 11:02 |
| rigved | UDPError: sorry that should be / | 11:02 |
| UDPError | no worries rigved I figured as so :) | 11:02 |

| ikonia | dagon666: appologies back now, are you still having a raid problem | 11:03 |
| UDPError | The fedora install was easy all I had to do is select the "replace an existing linux os" option | 11:03 |
| UDPError | does ubuntu have this option? | 11:03 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: yeah | 11:03 |
| ikonia | dagon666: let me see if I can help you, what's the problem | 11:03 |
| === TheDaniel0108 is now known as Daniel0108 | ||
| coz_ | UDPError, it has the option to choose partition,, which it will probably name, to overwrite it | 11:04 |
| rigved | UDPError: choose the manual partition option and erase the fedora partitions | 11:04 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: sometimes at boot time my array does not get assembled and I land up in initramfs. I tried to remove one of the drives to force the degraded state and with one drive absent it does not want to boot, again I land up in initramfs shell | 11:05 |
| ikonia | dagon666: can you boot it at all ? | 11:05 |
| Curly_Q | Qwebirc44173 have you tried to halt the box as root or did you client sudo halt? | 11:05 |
| UDPError | Isn't Fedora a completely different system thanUbuntu though? | 11:05 |
| ikonia | dagon666: as in do you know how to fix it | 11:05 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: yes, the array itself is ok. Im curently using this system | 11:05 |
| ikonia | UDPError: yes, it is a different linux distro | 11:05 |
| qwebirc44173 | Curly_Q: I have sudo shutdown -h now and sudo poweroff | 11:06 |
| ikonia | dagon666: what type of array is it, mdadm ? | 11:06 |
| MrRagga | hi | 11:06 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: the assembly problems at boot time are spontanious | 11:06 |
| MrRagga | i do have a Quadro FX 580 running the latest driver 260.19.44 with xorg version 1:7.5+6ubuntu3. i have two monitors connected via dvi but only the one is working which is directly connected to dvi. the second has a hdm -> dvi adapter and the monitor keeps unrecognised with the following error:"TwinView requested but only 1 display devices found" | 11:06 |
| MrRagga | here is my current xorg.conf http://paste.pocoo.org/show/363733/ | 11:06 |
| UDPError | hmm okay I'll see what I can find :) will reboot into fedora and do so | 11:06 |
| ikonia | dagon666: ok, but is it an mdadm array ? | 11:06 |
| shomon | what happens if I syncrhonise a folder on ubuntu one, then turn off the sync - is the ubuntu one folder still going to be there? Just want to put it there, format this disc, reinstall and put it back... | 11:06 |
| dagon666 | they happend quite rare, but they exist and sometimes du to them my server is not available. Yes its software raid mdadm | 11:06 |
| ikonia | dagon666: ok, first thing is, do you have an mdadm.conf | 11:07 |
| dagon666 | yes | 11:07 |
| ikonia | dagon666: could you pastebin it for me please ? | 11:07 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: http://pastie.org/1743073 | 11:08 |
| ikonia | dagon666: where is that file located on your machine | 11:08 |
| dagon666 | /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf | 11:08 |
| ikonia | dagon666: perfect | 11:09 |
| ikonia | dagon666: ok, this is a raid5 array, do you have a seperate /boot partition ? | 11:09 |
| MiYabI | hello i'm new in ubuntu. is there taskmanager in ubuntu ? | 11:09 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: no, everything including boot lies on md0 | 11:09 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: strange thing I noticed at the moment | 11:10 |
| ikonia | dagon666: that maybe the problem, there are a lot of problems with having /boot on a raid5 array | 11:10 |
| Curly_Q | Qwebirc44173, it may sound crazy but it almost seems that you have two instances or more root permissions going on at the same time. One says yes and the other is waiting. It is a thought. I had something like that happen when I did an SSH with two clients SSH channeling at the same time. I had to halt one client for the system to halt. | 11:10 |
| dagon666 | mdadm.conf says that my array consists of 3 drives, but it should be 4 | 11:10 |
| ikonia | dagon666: is it 3 drives and 1 spare, or 4 drives no spare | 11:10 |
| qwebirc44173 | Curly_Q: so I sudo -s? | 11:10 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: 4 drives active, no spare | 11:11 |
| ikonia | dagon666: ahh, ok, that is a problem | 11:11 |
| coz_ | MiYabI, you mean like window system monitor? | 11:11 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: do you think that correcting this will help ? | 11:11 |
| ikonia | dagon666: manually re-assemble the array and then do a scan and redirect the output to the mdadm.conf (or a backup) and see if it recognises all 4 drives | 11:11 |
| Curly_Q | I would use top to see what is running or netstat -tuanlp | 11:11 |
| MiYabI | coz_ yea | 11:11 |
| ikonia | dagon666: if you have a 4 drive array, it will certainly help, you may want to consider moving /boot also if you can | 11:11 |
| coz_ | MiYabI, if that is the case it is gnome-system-monitor | 11:11 |
| MiYabI | coz_ no GUI ? | 11:12 |
| coz_ | MiYabI, under system/administration/ system monitor | 11:12 |
| coz_ | MiYabI, or hit alt+F2 and type gome-system-monitor | 11:12 |
| qwebirc44173 | Curly_Q: so how I one user and then try to shut it down | 11:12 |
| UDPError | Is ubuntu LVM? like Fedora? | 11:12 |
| Curly_Q | Qwebirc are you doing this remotely? | 11:12 |
| MiYabI | coz_ how to launch that ? with terminal ? | 11:12 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: ok, I'll try. Do you think that manuall correction of drives count will help anyway ? | 11:12 |
| coz_ | UDPError, you can set it up that way | 11:12 |
| qwebirc44173 | MiYabI: alt+f2 (kleyboard ) | 11:13 |
| qwebirc44173 | . | 11:13 |
| UDPError | because Fedora is LVm.. that's the only reason I ask | 11:13 |
| MiYabI | Oh Ok. thanks all | 11:13 |
| coz_ | MiYabI, that's one way also alt+F2 or go to the menus under System / Administration / system monitor | 11:13 |
| ikonia | dagon666: as in manual correction in that config file ? | 11:13 |
| shomon | is there a more specific channel to ask about ubuntu one? | 11:13 |

| qwebirc44173 | What is the difference between update-grub and update-grub2? | 11:14 |
| coz_ | MiYabI, no problem | 11:14 |
| ikonia | dagon666: don't do that, if it thinks there are only 3 drives, and your blockid is made up of those 3 drives, chaning it to 4 drives will invalidate your block ID | 11:14 |
| coz_ | qwebirc44173, I believe the sudo update-grub2 is current but then I am not a grub expert | 11:14 |
| ikonia | dagon666: correct the array to be using 4 drives, then do a scan to re-generate the config file with correct block id and drive numbers | 11:14 |
| qwebirc44173 | coz_: yes it's the latest version of grub but update-grub does the same thing. | 11:15 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: can I do a scan on assembled array ? | 11:15 |
| coz_ | qwebirc44173, I believe both are valid ... yes | 11:15 |
| ikonia | dagon666: is it currently running with 4 drives ? | 11:15 |
| coz_ | qwebirc44173, you can go to the #grub channel to be sure | 11:15 |

| Gnea | Nomikos: there's an option to checkbox that it not be just for logins | 11:41 |

| Rovanion | Does anyone know what could cause only being able to join one wireless network per boot. I've tried restarting networking and, depending on what I had installed, wicd and NM. I'm still only able to connect to one wireless network per boot. | 12:02 |
| qwebirc44173 | Where is CONFIG_APM=y ? | 12:05 |
| ikonia | qwebirc44173: it's in the kernel | 12:05 |
| ikonia | qwebirc44173: it's a compile time option, but as ubuntu is modular it's likley to be set to "M" | 12:06 |
| qwebirc44173 | ikonia: can I check its config? | 12:06 |
| qwebirc44173 | hm | 12:06 |

| phonex01 | hi guys is there any tool can be used as wifi spy chanalyzer on ubuntu ? | 12:08 |
| ruan | xiaoy: there isn't really a 'main' package, but you can try ia32-libs | 12:08 |
| Zealous | spy chanalyzer???? | 12:08 |
| Zealous | you want to monitor your wifi network? | 12:08 |
| Zealous | to see who is connected | 12:09 |
| phonex01 | i can use aircrack | 12:09 |
| phonex01 | but i want to see the spectrum | 12:09 |
| Zealous | i don't security talk is covered in this room | 12:09 |
| phonex01 | there is some tools for windows do that | 12:09 |
| Zealous | could try the backtrack room | 12:09 |
| ikonia | xiaoy: compat-libs, something like i386-compat-libs | 12:09 |
| ikonia | Zealous: please don't make things up | 12:09 |
| ikonia | security talk related to ubuntu is fine | 12:09 |
| phonex01 | im not trying to hack someone | 12:09 |
| Zealous | well i mentioned aircrack yesterday and i got told to take it to backtrack room | 12:10 |
| ikonia | Zealous: #backtrackl-linux is for backtrack linux support, not security in general, as you've been told in #backtrack-linux | 12:10 |
| phonex01 | im working on a wifi module | 12:10 |
| ruan | hmm, so you want to see who is connected to a wifi network? | 12:10 |
| phonex01 | no man | 12:10 |
| ruan | what exactly then? | 12:10 |
| phonex01 | i want to see the spectrum between channels | 12:10 |
| ruan | hmm | 12:10 |
| phonex01 | there is a tool for windows called wifi spy chanalyzer | 12:11 |

| DirtyDawg | guys, i have about 2 weeks ago just started using Ubuntu so i am still getting used to it, i have a disk with 3 partitions, one ext3 (Ubuntu) and 2 NTFS from when i had windows installed, even tho they both work and are readable under Ubuntu i would like to delete them both and resize the Ubuntu ext3 partition into 1 ext3, using Gparted (booted) would this cause any problems or should it work ok? | 12:17 |
| ruan | DirtyDawg: it should work. ubuntu is not dependant on NTFS | 12:18 |
| ikonia | DirtyDawg: as long as you do it from a livecd you won't have a problem | 12:18 |
| DirtyDawg | ahh thx guys :) | 12:18 |
| ikonia | DirtyDawg: you won't be able to resize the ubuntu OS partition while you are using it, hence using a livecd | 12:18 |

| qwebirc44173 | cselab: you could download the .deb file | 12:26 |
| ruan | yeah the deb files | 12:26 |
| qwebirc44173 | cselab: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 12:26 |
| ZeeTron | they said withou internet | 12:27 |
| qwebirc44173 | make sure you have the dependecies | 12:27 |
| cselab | qwebirc44173,i downloaded a file from my sql website.it hav no install script | 12:27 |
| ZeeTron | *him | 12:27 |
| ruan | ZeeTron: via usb flash drive from a pc that has internet | 12:27 |
| iceroot | cselab: install script for what? | 12:27 |
| qwebirc44173 | dont know if you can install a package from installation cd | 12:27 |
| cselab | iceroot, its a single wordinstallscript | 12:28 |
| qwebirc44173 | but that would be outdated anyway | 12:28 |
| iceroot | cselab: a what? | 12:28 |
| cselab | iceroot, i mean i hav no file to install mysql | 12:28 |
| ruan | cselab: get the .deb packages for mysql | 12:28 |
| cselab | iceroot, only some binary files | 12:28 |
| ruan | !lamp | 12:28 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 12:28 |
| iceroot | cselab: what do you want to install? | 12:29 |
| cselab | iceroot, mysql | 12:29 |
| cselab | ruan, am on www.packages.ubuntu.com | 12:29 |
| cselab | ruan, section please.... | 12:29 |
| iceroot | cselab: sudo apt-get install mysql | 12:29 |
| elfranne | is there a CLI version of ubuntu one or a way to install ubuntu one client on a headless server ? | 12:29 |
| Pumpkin- | another method, "export HISTCONTROL=ignorespace", and then prefix commands you don't want to be saved in the history with a space | 12:29 |
| ruan | iceroot: he wants to install it on another pc. packages get will do | 12:29 |
| iceroot | cselab: sudo apt-get install -d mysql-server | 12:30 |
| cselab | iceroot, its not working i hav 2 update repositories 4 that | 12:30 |
| Pumpkin- | so "echo foo" would go in the history, but " echo foo" wouldn't | 12:30 |
| iceroot | cselab: then copy the file from /var/cache/apt/ to the other machine and use "sudo dpkg -i mysql-server....deb" | 12:30 |
| cselab | iceroot, thnx a lot | 12:30 |
| ruan | yep, that will work | 12:31 |
| cselab | iceroot, anything other tahn taht? | 12:31 |
| mih1406 | I want to extract data from files to a single file using grep? | 12:31 |
| cselab | other than that? | 12:31 |
| ruan | cselab: once you have the .deb file, you can install it without an internet connection | 12:31 |
| mih1406 | Grep prints only the files name not the matched regexp | 12:31 |
| ruan | cselab: provided that it has all the dependancies | 12:31 |
| DrkShadow | The live CD doesn't detect /dev/sdb1 as the source for the live filesystem... how can I tell it to look there, or manually mount it, or whatever? | 12:32 |
| ruan | mih1406: what type of files are these? | 12:32 |
| cselab | ruan, thats ma qstn....does it hav all d dependencies? | 12:32 |
| ruan | cselab: it should | 12:32 |
| oCean | mih1406: grep prints both: the filename as well as the matching line | 12:32 |
| qwebirc44173 | OomElvis: ssh will hash stuff to .ssh/known_hosts | 12:32 |
| mih1406 | ruan, text files | 12:33 |
| cselab | ruan,am on packages.ubuntu.com which section shud i select? | 12:33 |
| mih1406 | I want to print the found matched regexp | 12:33 |
| qwebirc44173 | mih1406: use cat? | 12:34 |
| mih1406 | cat? | 12:34 |
| oCean | mih1406: grep -h will not print the filename, where the regexp is found | 12:34 |
| cselab | ok bye 2 all | 12:34 |
| qwebirc44173 | bye | 12:34 |
| mih1406 | I have 3 file of my database and I want to extracts usernames and emails to a single file | 12:35 |
| llewangus825 | Hi all, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction - I'm not sure what I did but when I try scrol through menues like the application menu it does not always open the next menu (intermittent) and I can double click - I have tried loads of search terms - but I don't know what I am actually asking.... Any help would be very gratfully recieved. | 12:35 |
| qwebirc44173 | I have a /proc/acpi not /proc/apm | 12:36 |
| oCean | mih1406: yeah, so? | 12:36 |
| lolmaus | How do i list all groups a certain user belongs to? In console | 12:36 |
| mih1406 | how to extract these data to a single file? | 12:36 |
| qwebirc44173 | mih1406: > file | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | lolmaus: one way would be to grep the /etc/groups file for their name. or check the groups command. | 12:36 |
| ruan | mih1406: cat file1 >file.txt | 12:37 |
| mih1406 | qwebirc44173, this prints the file name and the line but I want the emails and usernames | 12:37 |
| oCean | mih1406: I told you | 12:37 |
| qwebirc44173 | lol | 12:37 |
| oCean | mih1406: you have to come with examples, or show in paste.ubuntu.com | 12:37 |
| lolmaus | Dr_Willis, yay! Thx for "groups"! | 12:37 |
| mih1406 | here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/588209/ | 12:38 |
| mih1406 | Can you gave me the whole command that extracts emails from 3 files to single files so I have a list of emails with their username | 12:40 |
| oCean | mih1406: use * for each file in that directory | 12:40 |

| Cube`` | aint no counter on the homepage | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | DrkShadow: fancy virtualbox tricks. | 12:40 |

| HRezaei | I have run sudo firefox in terminal. It opened ff and now I can not write any commands else. how to return to command line? | 12:41 |
| oCean | mih1406: http://paste.ubuntu.com/588211/ | 12:41 |
| ruan | HRezaei: why sudo firefox? | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | HRezaei: bash job controll,.,. ctrl-z and the 'bg' command. is one way | 12:41 |
| qwebirc44173 | just found this beauty cat /boot/config-2.6.35-28-generic | grep APM | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | HRezaei: i also have to wonder.. why would ou need to do sudo firefox. | 12:41 |
| Pumpkin- | HRezaei: lots of questions | 12:41 |
| Pumpkin- | 1.) Why are you running Firefox as root ? | 12:42 |
| ruan | HRezaei: first, firefox doesn't need root, and second, it should be run as gksudo | 12:42 |
| Pumpkin- | 2.) You can tell tasks to run in the background by putting a & on the end of them (for example "firefox &") | 12:42 |
| === denny- is now known as denny | ||
| Pumpkin- | 3.) Hit CTRL-C will get you back to the command prompt, but it will close firefox | 12:42 |
| llewangus825 | Just wondering if it could have anything to do with enabling PAE? | 12:43 |
| HRezaei | ruan, Dr_Willis ,Pumpkin- I wanted to update my ff from 3.6 to 4. so extracted 4.tar.gz then I did not know how to upgrade. so tested that command in extracted folder! | 12:44 |
| ruan | !ff4 | 12:44 |
| mih1406 | thank you guys | 12:44 |
| ubottu | 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 | 12:44 |
| qwebirc44173 | I need help enabling APM support! | 12:44 |
| mih1406 | oCean, special thank to oCean | 12:44 |
| oCean | mih1406: welcome | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | HRezaei: thats not the proper way top upgrade it at all. and even then. there was no need to do sudo firefox. | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | HRezaei: your user could of extracted/ran the binaries from that tar.gz | 12:45 |
| HRezaei | ubottu: I have downloaded it before ! but your commands are downloading it again! | 12:48 |

| qwebirc44173 | This is my old machine http://www.ciao.co.uk/Productinformation/PCCHIPS_M810_LMR__5409872 | 12:49 |
| prx | Is there an alternative for Ubuntu 10.10 for the networkmanager, like wpa_gui that i may use? | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | HRezaei: You really dont want to be using the tar.gz file at all. If you want to upgrade firefox 'system wide' you need to enable the proper repositories. | 12:49 |
| qwebirc44173 | prx: wicd | 12:49 |
| ruan | prx: wicd | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | prx: theres wicd that many people use | 12:49 |
| HRezaei | Dr_Willis: I have downloaded it before ! but ubottu commands are downloading it again! | 12:49 |
| prx | thx, trying... | 12:50 |
| ruan | HRezaei: those commands install it properly | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | HRezaei: You dowloaded that tar.gz - which is not needed. You need to enable the stable firefox 4 ppa repopsotry and update it that way | 12:50 |
| prx | wow, wicd even comes with a curses gui :) | 12:51 |
| HRezaei | Dr_Willis: I have had same problems installing other software! Is there any rich article helping me understanding use of repositories fully? | 12:51 |
| ruan | !ppa | 12:51 |

| ikonia | qwebirc44173: ok, "think" it not enough, you need to know the name of the module you are loaded | 12:59 |

| ikonia | qwebirc44173: ok - so that's the problem than, that module doesn't exist in that directory, so either it's not there, or it's the wrong name | 12:59 |
| qwebirc44173 | ikonia: it is apm | 13:00 |
| ikonia | qwebirc44173: how do you know ? | 13:00 |
| qwebirc44173 | ive seen in websites | 13:00 |
| qwebirc44173 | ppl telling to load apm module | 13:01 |
| ikonia | qwebirc44173: use load the apm module, that doesn't it is / is not actually called apm | 13:01 |
| dj__ | how n wer to comile c in ubutnu | 13:01 |

| lolmaus | I've created a user on ubuntu server and added it to the "admin" group. But when i try to login via SSH it says access denied. Why? | 13:08 |
| lolmaus | I changed password to 123 so there's no typo | 13:09 |
| prx | lolmaus: inside the sshd config there may be some part that rejects logins for users in this group, why does the wheel group not succeed? | 13:10 |
| jrib | lolmaus: can you « ssh localhost » on the server locally and login as the user? | 13:10 |
| ikonia | prx: ubuntu does use wheel | 13:10 |
| prx | ikonia: jup, but lolmaus used admin | 13:11 |
| * jrib pokes ikonia | 13:11 | |
| jrib | prx: he meant "doesn't" | 13:11 |
| prx | jrib: ah, sorry | 13:11 |
| prx | I need to stay a bit to get some more information about ubuntu... ;) | 13:12 |
| jrib | prx: essentially, the just use "admin" instead of "wheel" | 13:12 |
| ikonia | jrib: thank you | 13:13 |
| LjL | does Ubuntu support the Creative X-Fi nowadays, and if so how well and is it with OSS drivers? | 13:13 |
| ikonia | LjL: it get "ok" sound out of it, nothing advanced, stero etc | 13:13 |
| LjL | ikonia: you mean no stereo? | 13:13 |
| lolmaus | jrib, the server is remote. And i can login to it with my own user. | 13:13 |
| Pici | lolmaus: I suspect that you used useradd instead of adduser and the user's account isn't sufficiently set up. | 13:14 |
| ikonia | LjL: no, I get the basics, such as stereo | 13:14 |
| jrib | lolmaus: fine do « ssh localhost » after you login with your own user | 13:14 |
| lolmaus | Pici, i used the interactive one | 13:14 |
| LjL | ikonia: ah. can you sample at 192kHz (assuming it supports that, i think it does but not quite sure)? | 13:14 |
| lolmaus | jrib, yup, it did let me in | 13:15 |
| ikonia | LjL: it can play back at that, so I'd assume sample also | 13:15 |
| * jrib didn't expect that hrmph | 13:15 | |
| jrib | lolmaus: you did « ssh non-working-user@localhost »? | 13:15 |
| LjL | ikonia: some cards can play back at 192kHz but not sample. can you test this for me please? "arecord -f dat -r 192000 -D hw:0,0 -d 5 test.wav". if it doesn't support 192kHz, it will say that the "requested" sample rate is different from what you "got" | 13:16 |
| ikonia | LjL: not got access to that box at the moment, it's my desktop that's powered off | 13:16 |
| ikonia | LjL: I can do it for you though if you remind me | 13:16 |
| LjL | ikonia: ok i'll remind you later then, thanks | 13:16 |

| jrib | ThE_aLiEn_return: escreve: /join #ubuntu-br | 13:24 |
| coz_ | Uboss, open synaptic package manager ,, hit search ,, tyep netbook,,, you probably wanth the gnome one not the kubuntu one | 13:25 |
| enoch | hi all | 13:25 |
| Peddy | I have a directory at /home/user1/share that I'm sharing. How can I access the directory from another computer, using user2's credentials (on the share computer)? | 13:26 |
| enoch | how can i play a video on two ubuntu machines perfectly syncrhronized? | 13:26 |
| coz_ | Uboss, so look for ubuntu-netbook | 13:26 |
| Uboss | coz_, I don't know :P I would like the Netbook edition which says in www.ubuntu.com (I would like to transform into that through upgrade process if possible). | 13:26 |
| coz_ | Uboss, oh the 11.04 | 13:26 |
| enoch | ... | 13:27 |
| Uboss | coz_, yeah but with Netbook's User Interface | 13:27 |
| coz_ | Uboss, well my suggestion is not to upgrade to 11.04 but clean install,,, however ,, it really is not ready | 13:27 |
| lolmaus | jrib, it does work locally (after logging in remotely via my working user). But it does not work directly | 13:27 |
| coz_ | Uboss, well the similar interface in is ubuntu netbook edition but not sure if it is identical to the natty netbook Unity | 13:27 |
| Uboss | coz_, can I transform my ubuntu into ubuntu netbook's edition and stay on 10.04 as I am now? | 13:27 |
| jrib | lolmaus: did you see what Pici said about how you created the user? | 13:27 |
| coz_ | Uboss, sure ,, just install the ubuntu-netbook ,, I would google ubuntu 10.10 netbook screenshots to be sure its what you want | 13:28 |
| lolmaus | jrib, i've created my user with the interactive command | 13:28 |
| jrib | lolmaus: what interactive command? | 13:28 |
| coz_ | Uboss, rather google ubuntu 10.04 | 13:28 |
| lolmaus | jrib, adduser? | 13:28 |
| coz_ | Uboss, with netbook and take a look at it | 13:28 |
| Uboss | coz_, thanks dude. :) | 13:28 |
| jrib | lolmaus: why a question mark at the end of that? | 13:28 |
| Uboss | have a nice day everyone | 13:29 |
| coz_ | Uboss, if your system is fairly new it should be able to handle it otherwise mutter,, the compositor will take up resources,,aka a hog | 13:29 |
| coz_ | Uboss, or wait until the end of April for the release of ubuntu 11.04 | 13:29 |
| lolmaus | jrib, i don't remember which one of two is interactive :) It created the home folder and stuff. And it lets me in locally. | 13:30 |
| Uboss | coz_, I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS now. An idea came into my mind today if I would be able to change my Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 or 10.10. Anyway, I will search more and then decide. Thanks! | 13:30 |
| jrib | lolmaus: can you pastebin your attempt at sshing remotely and all of the output? | 13:31 |
| lolmaus | jrib, FCUK!!!! I'm an idiot | 13:31 |
| coz_ | Uboss, ok | 13:31 |
| lolmaus | jrib, the SSH port is NOT 22 | 13:31 |
| Uboss | lolmaus :P | 13:31 |

| qwebirc44173 | sudo apt-get install brain | 13:32 |
| Peddy | how can I control which users have access to a shared folder? | 13:32 |
| qwebirc44173 | oops | 13:32 |
| ikonia | Peddy: file system permissions | 13:32 |
| mih1406 | I have a file with a big list and I want to separate it into more than one file | 13:34 |
| Peddy | ikonia, even when the permission on the shared folder is 777, I am unable to access it from any account besides the creator account. | 13:34 |
| mih1406 | is it possible with grep? | 13:34 |
| jrib | mih1406: depends on how you want to separate it... | 13:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Peddy: access via samba? or on the local system/normal paths? | 13:34 |
| ikonia | Peddy: look at the permissions above the folder your in | 13:35 |
| k405 | mih1406, if u redirect the output with > | 13:35 |
| Peddy | Dr_Willis, samba. | 13:35 |
| Peddy | ikonia, so if /home/user1 is restricted to user1 only, then /home/user1/share will still be inaccessible by other users? | 13:35 |
| mih1406 | separate it in any possible way because it is more than 25 MB and want it to be 5 MB each | 13:35 |
| ikonia | Peddy: correct | 13:35 |
| jrib | mih1406: you can use "split" if you want to split the file strictly by size | 13:36 |
| Peddy | ikonia, I see. Thanks for the clarification. | 13:36 |
| janybek | hi there | 13:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Peddy: if accessing via samba - other users should be able to access it. IF its set up right | 13:37 |
| janybek | need some help with gitosis | 13:37 |
| amgarchIn9 | mih1406: man split; split -l NLINES input | 13:37 |
| k405 | what is your use case mih1406? | 13:37 |
| Peddy | Dr_Willis, I just used the standard nautilus method of sharing options>share | 13:37 |
| janybek | join #github | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Peddy: a local user2 trying to access /home/user1/share would reqwuire proper permissions on the dir and the dirs above it. | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Peddy: douvle check your shareing options and allow the guest share feature i think | 13:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Peddy: you may want to give the users a actual samba password also with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' | 13:38 |
| mih1406 | a file with a big list of emails and usernames each pair in one line and want to split this lone list into lists | 13:38 |
| Peddy | Dr_Willis, ah, I understand - that makes perfect sense, I understand now. With this samba password, will it work just as standard system accounts have been working (to access the shares?) | 13:38 |
| jrib | mih1406: amgarchIn9 gave you the exact command | 13:39 |
| mih1406 | i am trying it now | 13:39 |
| xelister | open office does not start | 13:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Peddy: samba has 10000's of config options. check teh samba-doc package for books on configuring samba | 13:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Peddy: personally i just enable the home shares for samba. and thats about it. | 13:40 |
| Peddy | Dr_Willis, thanks for your help. Good night! | 13:40 |

| prx | qwebirc44173: thx... | 13:56 |
| jrib | hellomrjack: you can usually pass alternate locations of libraries to ./configure. Try ./configure --help | 13:57 |
| MarconM | who know ppa for the kernel update on ubuntu | 13:57 |
| guessswh0 | no, just wanted to see where the bug lied. I'm an IT security engineer, and didn't know if there was something I didn't know about | 13:57 |
| qwebirc44173 | it's not a security issue | 13:57 |
| qwebirc44173 | in wicd | 13:58 |
| qwebirc44173 | (ot: I hope wicd gets VPN support in next release) | 13:58 |

| mih1406 | I want to remove duplicates from a list in a text file? | 14:07 |
| ikonia | prx: /media is controlled by hal/dbus on ubuntu, so it will need to create the mount point as hal normally do that for you | 14:07 |
| prx | ikonia: thx :) | 14:07 |

| MarconM | how i can to add ppa kernel on ubuntu | 14:09 |
| JeffJassky | Hey, guys. My web server keeps crashing (10.04 LTS) and I can't figure out why. I've checked the syslogs but they only show data post-crash. Nothing from before the crash is in the syslogs as if they get truncated on startup. I'm really hoping someone smarter than me could point me in the right direction so I could start diagnosing this server. | 14:09 |
| MarconM | i want to stay on 10.04 | 14:09 |
| ikonia | MarconM: I strongly advise you not to do that | 14:09 |
| MarconM | ikoni why | 14:09 |
| ikonia | MarconM: why do you need to update the kernel | 14:09 |

| MarconM | ikonia: i use ubuntu 10.04.2 lts ok | 14:09 |
| ganeshalpha | hi pls help :( :( :( :( | 14:10 |
| ikonia | MarconM: that's fine, why do you need to update the kernel to a PPA version | 14:10 |
| MarconM | but i dont want to change my versio | 14:10 |
| prx | ikonia: If the kernel in 10.10 crashes hard, youll get empty files (which were open and being written to as of the crash) | 14:10 |
| MarconM | just make update my kernel | 14:10 |
| ikonia | MarconM: that's fine, why do you need to update the kernel to a PPA version | 14:10 |
| ganeshalpha | i jst downloaded ubuntu 11.04 beta 1 and made a usb stick | 14:10 |
| ikonia | MarconM: why ? what do you need in the new kernel | 14:10 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: Everything just seems to stop. can't ssh, apache doesn't respond, can't FTP.. until I do a hard reboot and everything comes back online as normal. | 14:10 |
| MarconM | ikonia: i have to add ppa | 14:10 |

| ganeshalpha | but it takes forever to load in laptop | 14:11 |
| ganeshalpha | :(\ | 14:11 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: it's remote. Rackspace hosts it. | 14:11 |
| MarconM | it i dont do that my kernel dont change | 14:11 |
| ganeshalpha | pls help | 14:11 |
| ikonia | MarconM: I'll ask again, why do you need to update the kernel | 14:11 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: is it a physical server or a virtual ? | 14:11 |
| mm2000 | hello. what is the next LTS? | 14:11 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: virtual. | 14:11 |
| MarconM | ikonia: do u know the ppa kernel | 14:12 |
| ikonia | MarconM: yes | 14:12 |
| ganeshalpha | 12.04 will be lts | 14:12 |
| qwebirc44173 | ok i mounted the cdrom :) | 14:12 |
| MarconM | ikonia: do u can say me | 14:12 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: can you get to that server now ? | 14:12 |
| qwebirc44173 | sudo mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 or cdrom | 14:12 |
| ikonia | MarconM: why do you need to upgrade the kernel to a PPA version ? | 14:12 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: yes i have full access to it | 14:12 |
| qwebirc44173 | one of those worked | 14:12 |
| ruan | i think there's an LTS every 2 years, supported for 3 years | 14:12 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: can you connect to it and post me the output of "uname -a" please ? | 14:12 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: change the hostname if you are worried about posting it | 14:13 |
| JeffJassky | nah it's alright-- Linux guruz.us 2.6.35.4-rscloud #8 SMP Mon Sep 20 15:54:33 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 14:13 |
| mih1406 | i want to replace every space with a newline | 14:13 |
| qwebirc44173 | umount: /media/cdrom: device is busy | 14:13 |
| mih1406 | in a text file | 14:13 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: ok - this isn't a palm off but advice, that is a modified version of ubuntu (see the kernel version - it's not an ubuntu stock kernel) if the machine is locking its a big possability it's down to the changes rackspace have made | 14:13 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: contact rack space and log a support call explaining this, and let them deal with it, as it's their modified ubuntu version | 14:14 |
| llutz | mih1406: use sed or tr | 14:14 |
| randomuser | mih1406, http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html | 14:14 |
| edoctoor | Is there a way to transfer my Grub2 from the D: drive to the C: drive? | 14:14 |
| mih1406 | Hey you all, do you really memorieze all linux commands?????? | 14:14 |
| ruan | mih1406: yes | 14:14 |
| wnoronha | Hello | 14:14 |
| qwebirc44173 | ok unmouted cdrom after leave its dir :) | 14:14 |
| randomuser | mih1406, not sure how to do a newline there, but that's your program | 14:15 |
| mih1406 | I am using Ubuntu since 2007 but I do not memorize any | 14:15 |
| ahox | mih1406: and for the commandswitches, we memorized the man command ;-) | 14:15 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: I really don't think it's a rackspace problem. It only started happening after I installed a number of pieces of software a few weeks ago and it seems to crash about once a day or every other day.. I definitely feel that it's a software conflict or configuration issue causing the system to crash. | 14:15 |
| === ZeeTron is now known as Gata_de_Rosa | ||
| ikonia | qwebirc44173: don't need a running commentory | 14:15 |
| mih1406 | do you memorize them just like memorizing poems in school? | 14:15 |
| qwebirc44173 | hehe | 14:15 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: ok - but the version of the OS you are using is mofidied, so there isn't a guartentee of compatability with ubuntu packages | 14:15 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: Ahh I see what you're saying | 14:16 |
| ahox | I usually try to memorize the meaning of the command, as in ls = list, sed=stream editor, etc | 14:16 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: they however will have the hypervisor logs and can suggest why it's locking up, or even check the console for error messages, we can't | 14:16 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: Darn really? there's not even a way to get crash logs or anything? | 14:16 |
| ahox | btw, is there a fusefs or something like it for the amazon storage cloud? | 14:16 |
| mih1406 | I will start from now to memorize them | 14:16 |
| epart | ubottu: thnks for the info.. i have a PABX server.. asterisk and im using the 10.01.04 lucyd.. | 14:16 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:17 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: there is, but it would be better to get their logs | 14:17 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: the crash logs could show the symptoms rather than the fault | 14:17 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: their logs will show the fault | 14:17 |
| edoctoor | can the bootloader ummm.. I mean the grub2 be created on the C: drive or drive zero? | 14:17 |
| edoctoor | if so how? | 14:17 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: Gotchya. I somehow doubt they would actually supply them to me.. so I'd like to find out as much as I can on my end before contacting them.. | 14:17 |
| randomuser | mih1406, with some things, when you find it, it is so useful that you spend time learning it and get exited about how it can help. Once you know how t eat with a fork instead of fingers, you dont forget its name... | 14:18 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: I think they will, this is their job | 14:18 |
| ruan | edoctoor: yes, by installing grub on it and changing boot priority | 14:18 |
| dyd | i have a problem with backup: at this poing /host/ubuntu/winboot/wubildr.tar it gives this error tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors | 14:18 |
| dyd | *point | 14:18 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: I'll give it a try.. but in the mean time how would I go about finding out as much as I can before I call them? | 14:18 |
| bazhang | dyd, wubi install? | 14:19 |
| edoctoor | Ok, so how to I install grub2 on C:? and thank you ruan for your help | 14:19 |
| === Gata_de_Rosa is now known as ZeeTron | ||
| ikonia | JeffJassky: calling them is the first step | 14:19 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: call them and explain the symptomes | 14:19 |
| Abhijit | hi | 14:19 |
| dyd | bazhang: yes! | 14:19 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: Alright i'll do that. So there's nothing in /var/log that would maybe he helpful for me to know? | 14:20 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: you'll get more worth while info from 3 lines of the hypervisor log, or the error message on screen when it hangs than anything else | 14:20 |
| almoxarife | dyd: you are backing up the whole of ubuntu install? | 14:21 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: Well the thing is - it's not hanging.. and I don't know how to induce the hanging.. and I really can't afford for it to hang again because I have about 20 clients websites hosted on it and they're getting pretty upset with me. But if I call them even now do you think they would have logs from the previous crash? | 14:21 |
| dyd | almoxarife: i just want to backup all the disk, but i don't need installation files. are host/ubuntu/winboot/ installation files? | 14:22 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: I don't know, and with all respect in the world, if this is a business machine you should have it prepared better and no more about what your doing | 14:22 |
| jichunjian | the what | 14:22 |
| dyd | i used this command: sudo tar cvpzf /media/LaCie/backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/media --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/media/LaCie/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / | 14:22 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: your best bet is to log a call with them, and leave it open, then when it next hangs, contact them for the logs/error message on screen, then trouble shoot it from that | 14:22 |
| almoxarife | dyd: yes, the wubi install created them | 14:23 |
| ikonia | JeffJassky: if you can't deal with that, I suggest uninstalling all the software you installed before it created a problem | 14:23 |
| dyd | (i know that --exclude=/media/LaCie/backup.tgz can be removed) | 14:23 |
| dyd | so i can just --exclude that folder? | 14:23 |
| almoxarife | dyd: you are backing up within ubuntu? | 14:23 |
| dyd | almoxarife: yes | 14:23 |

| salihk | hello guys, i am using ubuntu 10.10 and i installed unity 2d on it but when i try to boot with unity 2d it loads very slowly actually i wait 1 or 2 minutes after the desktop is showed up. I read ubuntu 11.04 comes with unity i wonder that if i upgrade to 11.04 will i suffer same problem did you try it ? what is your impression ? thanks | 14:24 |
| edoctoor | Thank you... | 14:25 |
| edoctoor | ubottu, Thank you | 14:25 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 14:25 |

| terry | desero: ikonia xorg.conf is used if it is there, but it does not exist by default. When third party video drivers are installed, (like Nvidia ones), xorg.conf is created in order to run the third party driver. | 14:59 |
| JeffJassky | ikonia: is that safe enough? | 14:59 |
| ikonia | genjix: even more reason for it to be there by default | 14:59 |

| genjix | k | 14:59 |
| ruan | desero: back | 14:59 |
| desero | lol, sorry :) | 14:59 |
| randomuser | desero, i mean install the xfce package group, and log out of your user account. on the bottom of the login screen you can choose your desktop environment, choose xfce | 14:59 |
| desero | I have tried logging in and out and comparing the different applicatins running in the background. | 15:00 |
| DirtyDawg | i did tah ^ and it still used the same amount of memory as the ubuntu desktop (gnome) i thought xfce was supposed to be faster | 15:00 |
| desero | I am pretty sure, this has something to do with synaptics driver wich enables this touchpad behavior. | 15:00 |
| ikonia | desero: doubtul, more likley your desktop | 15:01 |
| tycable | hello, what's the meaning of 'ctl' in the command 'sysctl'? | 15:01 |
| ikonia | tycable: control, it's just a command name, it means nothing in reality | 15:01 |
| === PuffTheM` is now known as PuffTheMagic | ||
| tycable | ikonia, and I know the apache also has a command named 'apache2ctl', so I feel it may have some meaning. | 15:02 |
| ikonia | tycable: they are just command names | 15:03 |
| desero | ikonia: i found some config files for X in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, one of which is named 60-magictrackpad.conf | 15:03 |
| desero | and then 50-synaptics.conf | 15:03 |
| magnushc | Im running gnome environment, is there a way to remove the global menu bar for kde applications? | 15:03 |
| desero | I think they have something to do with this. | 15:03 |
| tycable | ikonia, thanks, I got it. | 15:03 |
| randomuser | desero, sorry, i missed your initial question; i thought you were simply curious about desktop environments. input devices are handled by HAL these days, odd that you'd have issues with a differend environment | 15:03 |
| ikonia | desero: it's unlikey to be X as it works in one desktop but not the other and they both use the same X setup | 15:03 |
| desero | That is what I thought, but I can't find any application running on Gnome that is not running in XFCE4 which would handle this behavior. | 15:04 |
| randomuser | desero, try something like lxde, maybe. Its not that bad. | 15:05 |
| desero | I thought maybe that Ubuntu runs different xorg.conf files for different environments. | 15:05 |

| === Relax_times is now known as monggo | ||
| erUSUL | S74rk7: no; it is not ok. the twice as much swap as ram is a rule from the last century when you had 16 o 32 MiB of RAM .... | 15:53 |
| DJones | S74rk7: The double your memory for swap size goes back a few years when computers had lower amounts of memory | 15:53 |
| meganerdca | S74rk7: the 2x RAM size is not that usefull anymore given how much RAM we typically have | 15:53 |
| cognac-gamma | megandrca: thanks, but tried already | 15:54 |
| meganerdca | S74rk7: of course given the size of most hard drives it does not really matter | 15:54 |
| ZarroBoogs | S74rk7: Unless this is a computer that you plan to hibernate on, you won't need that much swap. | 15:54 |
| timposey | I am trying to change my password back to a password that I used in the past, but Ubuntu will not let me. It is saying that the new password is too similar, how can I change this? | 15:54 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: there is not a lot of info that log snippet. Is this a wpa protected AP? | 15:54 |
| cognac-gamma | meganderca: i think so how to conclude it? | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | timposey: you could do 'sudo passwd username' and i think it will skip any security 'settings' | 15:55 |
| S74rk7 | OK so its not that necessary really unless I'm looking to hibernate etc... but is there any issues this can cause? | 15:55 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: check the router settings? | 15:55 |
| meganerdca | S74rk7: large swapspace just takes up disk space, not a big deal | 15:56 |
| S74rk7 | meganerdca: OK thanks :) | 15:56 |
| ruan | S74rk7: im running without a swap, havent had any issues so far. its been 3 weeks now | 15:56 |
| prx | running the networkmanager config gui, and finally using nmcli i got my wlan running (lacking the applet) | 15:56 |
| meganerdca | S74rk7: it is not used if it is not needed | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | S74rk7: i alwyas put about 512mb of swap on ever system i make.. at a minimal | 15:56 |
| ruan | 3gb of ram btw | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | live cd;s can use swap :) and can get confused if theres none. so i keep some on all my box's just in case. | 15:57 |
| S74rk7 | is there any advantages to having such a large swap area other than being able to hibernate a busy system? | 15:57 |
| ruan | !swap | 15:57 |
| ubottu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 15:57 |
| meganerdca | I have 4 GiB of RAM in my laptop and an 11 GiB swapspace | 15:57 |
| ruan | o_O | 15:57 |
| monggo | what... 2x is ancient rule one !!? should i resize swap? | 15:57 |
| Dr_Willis | if you system doset need 5+gb of swap.. then you dont gain anything by having 10+gb either. :) | 15:57 |
| prx | having too much swap can cause trouble if a mem leaking proces eats up all your ram | 15:58 |
| Dr_Willis | monggo: depedns on your needs. and f you use hibernate | 15:58 |
| prx | it delays the action of the OOM killer | 15:58 |
| meganerdca | monggo: it is an old rule of thumb, only resize if you really need the disk space, otherwise don't worry about it | 15:58 |
| prx | wasting 11Gig on swap seem insane, doesnt it? | 15:58 |
| meganerdca | prx: only if you are wasting it | 15:59 |
| prx | was that default? | 15:59 |
| meganerdca | prx: even then with a 500 GB hard drive, its not like I would notice. Yes it was the default | 15:59 |
| ruan | is it ok to partition on a drive that has a partition mounted, but to remove unmounted partitions on the drive | 15:59 |
| ruan | ? | 15:59 |
| meganerdca | prx: besides, I regularly need a lot of swap space | 15:59 |
| Dr_Willis | ruan: i think you can. | 16:00 |
| ruan | Dr_Willis: thanks | 16:00 |
| prx | meganerdca: what do you regularly need swap space for? | 16:00 |
| ruan | though to resize my main partition, i'll need a livecd | 16:00 |
| meganerdca | prx: lots of apps, a couple of VMs | 16:01 |
| ruan | i hope my usb works this time | 16:01 |
| monggo | should i allocated 160 GB for swap with my RAM 1GB? | 16:01 |
| ruan | monggo: no way, your computer will never use that much | 16:01 |
| ZarroBoogs | monggo: swap is akin to the pagefile on Windows. | 16:01 |
| ruan | monggo: at most 4gb of swap, no more | 16:02 |
| Dr_Willis | monggo: peraps 4gb max on a 1gb system.. if you really need more then that.. i wousl suggest more ram buying in the futyre. | 16:02 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: where are we at with your wifi issue? | 16:02 |
| cognac-gamma | meganderca: cant reach the router from the browser like 192.168.0.1, so tried iwlist eth1 ap | 16:02 |
| monggo | Okay ., okay ..... buying 10GB Of RAM should be enough.. | 16:02 |
| ruan | monggo: that's still extreme, what are you planning to do with the pc? | 16:03 |
| meganerdca | monggo: there is no such thing as too much RAM | 16:03 |
| meganerdca | monggo: I am putting 16 GiB of RAM into my new core i5 | 16:03 |
| cognac-gamma | meganerdca:Interface doesn't have a list of Peers/Access-Points | 16:03 |
| ruan | meganerdca: there is, if you're not using the ram _ever_ | 16:03 |
| ruan | if you don't run apps that use the ram, it's a waste | 16:04 |
| meganerdca | ruan: I still do not believe that it is "too much" :) | 16:04 |
| prx | ruan: just compile some c++ stuff, youll need it ;) | 16:04 |
| Dr_Willis | like having a 1000gallon gas tank on a moped? :) | 16:04 |
| monggo | my processor dual core.. what size appropriate for running lucid ?> | 16:04 |
| prx | say boost | 16:04 |
| ruan | prx: i dont compile c eyet | 16:04 |
| ruan | yet | 16:04 |
| janolap1 | megandrca: "host proxy" replies ";; connection timed out; no server could be reached" | 16:04 |
| prx | c itself doesnt need such insane amount of RAM | 16:05 |
| lament | hey there ops, i got spam from siska, in indonesian, asking me to join another IRC server | 16:05 |
| lament | on join | 16:05 |
| meganerdca | janolap1: try "host proxy <ip of dns server> | 16:05 |
| ZarroBoogs | lament: can you pm me the message you got? | 16:05 |
| prx | many JAVA applications will use up much, too | 16:05 |
| ruan | minecraft only takes 300mb ram at most | 16:05 |
| Abhijit | lament, you can use /ignore <username> all and also you can set +R flag so that unregistered user wont be able to pm you | 16:05 |
| meganerdca | firefox and chrome use 100s of MBs each on my system | 16:05 |
| janolap1 | megandrca : the same message ! | 16:05 |
| monggo | anyone know how configure gsm network such as scanning proxy to raise bandwidth speed? | 16:06 |
| lament | Abhijit: true, but an on-join spammer is a channelwide problem | 16:06 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: do not do the ap at the end, should just be "sudo iwlist <interface>" | 16:06 |
| janolap1 | megandrca : really don't know. I'll try on monday... not urgent ! Thanx ! | 16:06 |
| Abhijit | lament, yeah wait for some ops or you can go to #ubuntu-ops | 16:07 |
| ZarroBoogs | Abhijit: I'm around. | 16:07 |
| ZarroBoogs | Abhijit: <- Pici | 16:07 |
| Abhijit | ZarroBoogs, you mean you are a Pici? | 16:07 |
| djazz | why cant i install .deb in the new ubuntu beta? | 16:08 |
| ruan | !natty | djazz | 16:08 |

| djazz | I know | 16:08 |
| meganerdca | djazz: well usually there is an error message that provides you with a starting point | 16:08 |
| monggo | my gsm internet speed are suck's ..any idea ? | 16:08 |
| alien260 | djazz: What's the error message? | 16:08 |
| cognac-gamma | meganerdca:sudo iwlist eth1 [sudo] password for gv: iwlist: unknown command `eth1' | 16:08 |
| timposey | Dr_Willis: Thanks, that worked.. I have looked for that everywhere and couldn't find it. | 16:09 |
| djazz | no error message, the progress bar starts, then it turns into an "Install" button again | 16:09 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: "sudo iwlist eth1 scanning" | 16:09 |
| djazz | any other way to install .deb without software manager? | 16:09 |
| meganerdca | djazz: try it from the CLI, "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/package.deb" | 16:09 |
| tekk | hey guys, i have a Xsession open, I want to execute a command remotely but have it run in that session | 16:09 |
| JimUbu | I tried upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. It ended prematurely, after only a few minutes. It downloaded files, then was configuring, then put up a message for reboot. I rebooted and 10.10 was not there. | 16:09 |
| djazz | yeah.. | 16:09 |
| tekk | i.e. say i launch vlc from a remote terminal over ssh, i want it to open in the active Xsession... any ideas? | 16:10 |
| ruan | tekk: ssh -x user@host | 16:10 |
| Tatanka_ | Hola | 16:10 |
| ruan | or was it -X | 16:10 |
| ruan | hold on | 16:10 |
| prx | it was -X | 16:10 |
| cognac-gamma | meganerdca:http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/588286/ | 16:10 |
| JimUbu | Am I in the right place for installation questions? | 16:10 |
| ruan | tekk: ssh -X | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | JimUbu, what command or method did you use to upgrade ? | 16:11 |
| JimUbu | I used the upgrade manager. | 16:11 |
| tekk | ruan, ssh -X will launch it in that activated terminal | 16:11 |
| tekk | not the running session | 16:11 |
| tekk | imagine you have a desktop system running and you're in another country and want to launch a program in the desktop without VNC'ing in | 16:11 |
| m4gnus | hello everyone | 16:11 |
| * rcconf hello all | 16:12 | |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: try setting the channel on the router | 16:12 |
| meganerdca | tekk: I use NX from nomachine.com to do that | 16:12 |
| djazz | thx meganerdca | 16:12 |
| vrs | question: I'm a complete noob concerning printers and i need to print something. there is an external print server and i don't have cups or anything printing-related installed. which packages should I go for if I only want a printer client? | 16:12 |
| cognac-gamma | meganerdca: how to do so? | 16:12 |
| monggo | slow internet connection please ... | 16:12 |
| tekk | meganerdca, NX is basically a remote-desktop VNC like thing | 16:12 |
| tekk | i'm after pure terminal | 16:13 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: depends on the router, but usually you point your browser to the router's IP | 16:13 |
| rcconf | How can I use Ubuntu Server as Live CD? | 16:13 |
| ruan | tekk: hmm. when i run 'firefox' in the terminal it launches firefox outside of the terminal | 16:13 |
| tekk | e.g. i wanna run a command from pty/1 and run it in 0:0 | 16:13 |
| tekk | ruan, not from a remote location | 16:13 |
| tekk | it will try to launch it in your own terminal | 16:13 |
| meganerdca | tekk: yes, plus it runs over ssh, so single tcp port to deal with. Also uses ssh for encyption. Win win. | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | JimUbu, try this in the console instead , butmake sure that any ppas that were added after your install are disabled in the package manager or commented with # in front in the sources.list .: sudo do-release-upgrade | 16:13 |
| sourcenemy | whats the lightest and smallest ubuntu based system that has most drivers and FW? ( i allways have trouble getting my wireless working on my netbook with one exeption easypeasy) | 16:13 |
| tekk | i don't want to remote desktop in | 16:13 |
| vrs | and what's the package name of the gnome printer admin? | 16:13 |
| tekk | this is much lower level than a NX/VNC like thing | 16:13 |
| ruan | tekk: hmm. i've got to test remote then | 16:14 |
| meganerdca | tekk: ssh -X? | 16:14 |
| sushuiyuzhou | is any body? | 16:14 |
| monggo | prozilla prozilla prozilla prozilla | 16:14 |
| JimUbu | Where do I comment out the ppas | 16:14 |
| cognac-gamma | meganerdca: as i've written i cant access the router from the browser, but can ping from Networkmanager | 16:14 |
| sushuiyuzhou | OK | 16:14 |
| tekk | ssh -X opens in the remote terminal | 16:14 |
| JimUbu | Where is sources.list? | 16:14 |
| tekk | xhost or something would work, but that hasn't existed properly for 20 years+ | 16:15 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: without access to the router this is going to be tough. | 16:15 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: the line "Channel:0" from your iwlist is what concerns me | 16:15 |
| ruan | i'd have to install openSSH on my windows pc to remotely access this one :/ | 16:15 |
| rumpe1 | JimmyJ, /etc/apt/ | 16:15 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: we could try it from the CLI | 16:15 |
| JimUbu | blueskaj - thanks for the help ... I'll find sources.list ... | 16:15 |
| cognac-gamma | meganerdca: i see | 16:15 |
| sourcenemy | whats the lightest and smallest ubuntu based system that has most drivers and FW? ( i allways have trouble getting my wireless working on my netbook with one exeption easypeasy)... | 16:16 |
| meganerdca | tekk: ssh -X opens a remote app on your current machine. Basically an X connection over ssh. It is really slooooooow | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | JimUbu, alt +f2, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:16 |

| emre | hi | 16:17 |
| cognac-gamma | meganerdca: so what to type? | 16:17 |
| tekk | meganerdca i realise that | 16:17 |
| tekk | i'm on about something more complex | 16:17 |
| tekk | nevermind. | 16:17 |
| BluesKaj | JimUbu, but check the package manager as well , just to be sure | 16:17 |
| sourcenemy | with least crap installed on it from start kinda like DSL | 16:17 |
| JimUbu | Thanks again BluesKaj!1 | 16:17 |
| ZarroBoogs | !minimal | sourcenemy | 16:17 |
| ubottu | sourcenemy: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

| monggo | how to scan open proxy internet provider? | 16:17 |
| ZarroBoogs | monggo: Thats not something that we can provide help for here. | 16:18 |
| JimUbu | K | 16:18 |
| monggo | why? | 16:18 |
| prx | tekk: In order to speed up X via ssh you can use ssh -X -c arcfour name@host | 16:18 |
| ZarroBoogs | monggo: Because 1) It has nothing to do with Ubuntu 2) We get logs of channel abuse from open proxies. | 16:18 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: from the cli: "sudo stop network-manager" then "sudo wpa_passphrase saleem1234 wpa passphrase > saleem1234.conf" then "sudo wpa_supplicant -D wext -i eth1 -c /path/to/saleem1234.conf" | 16:18 |
| prx | -c choses the cipher (arcfour) | 16:18 |
| monggo | in my country a lot of phreaking thread | 16:19 |
| cognac-gamma | meganerdca: ok | 16:19 |
| prx | arcfour is faster than aes128 (if you do not have hw accelerated AES, as on Core i CPUs) | 16:19 |
| sourcenemy | cheers ill have a look at that minimal;) only problem is i will be adding a bunch of tools and i have no idea what dependensies they have... but maybe minimal will ask if i want that installed too when i install the tools? | 16:20 |

| falcon1212 | can any1 help me? im having trouble with airodump | 16:24 |
| lvh | Hi. Can I get a backported (forwardport?) version of python2.5 for 10.10 anywhere? | 16:24 |
| ayecee | falcon1212: you'll have to describe the trouble before anyone can assist you with it | 16:25 |
| meganerdca | larious: what is the error? | 16:25 |
| larious | ayecee: sorry for the way I put the question, I need someone to help me | 16:25 |
| larious | that cant download from the internet 1 to 4 | 16:25 |
| ZarroBoogs | lvh: Can I inquire as to why you need python2.5? | 16:25 |
| cognac-gamma | meganerdca: well, i must forgot to substituate something, cant find path to saleem1234.conf | 16:25 |
| falcon1212 | once i pull up airodump and i try to connect to wifi it shows no signals | 16:26 |
| larious | I downloaded the software from the internet to my xp and then I copyed it to my ubuntu, but I cant install it | 16:26 |
| ayecee | larious: I don't recognize that error. could you paste it at paste.ubuntu.com ? | 16:26 |
| ayecee | larious: include the command you used to try to install the deb. | 16:27 |

| NaseMk | how to uninstall kubuntu desktop on my ubuntu 10.10 | 16:27 |
| NaseMk | ? | 16:27 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: the wpa_passphrase command had ">" which dumps the output to a file | 16:27 |
| lvh | ZarroBoogs: (I *say* my software works but it would nice if I actually verified that.) | 16:27 |
| cretep | I can navigate to them ok with the Wine browse function, but all of those programs are marked as non-executable. | 16:27 |
| ZarroBoogs | lvh: Ah. Well, its unlikely that you'll see an official package for 2.5, but theres problably a PPA out there for that very purpose. | 16:28 |
| cretep | And I cannot change that to executable with the properties window. | 16:28 |
| milamber | NaseMk: kubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, it wouldn't be easy | 16:28 |
| mugen | !rules | 16:28 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 16:28 |
| cretep | How do I mark those programs as executable? | 16:28 |
| meganerdca | cognac-gamma: if would dump this file in whatever directory you were in | 16:28 |
| NaseMk | so | 16:28 |
| rcconf | cretep: chmod +x file | 16:28 |
| NaseMk | what shoul i do | 16:28 |
| rumpe1 | cretep, they dont need to be executable... wine executes them | 16:28 |
| rcconf | cretep: or right click permissions.. | 16:28 |
| falcon1212 | no its not the first its always happened i think somehow i am turning off the wifi card i just dont know how to get it back up | 16:28 |

| Guest29879 | 大家好阿 | 17:22 |
| oCean | sylphid: e2label does not require partprobe, it's effective immediately | 17:22 |
| ikonia | sylphid: there are toolkits for dialog boxes, but it's not a conversion, it has to be put into a script and worked with | 17:22 |

| Combatjuan | beniwtv: Forgive my insistence. It seems like apt-get should have an --install option or something (for the source command) while would handle that for me. You're sure nothing like that exists. | 17:56 |
| Paddy_NI | Witchsong: sometimes that is handled very well.. its just not consistent yet | 17:56 |

| Combatjuan | beniwtv: I did, of course, try the man page. Thanks for your help. | 17:57 |
| Combatjuan | genii-around: The man page makes it appear as though -b is the same as --build is the same as --compile. | 17:58 |
| beniwtv | Combatjuan: Also, I think if all the external dependencies are satisfied, you can use *.deb and it'll install them in order... | 17:58 |

| beniwtv | dtcrshr: Yes, I usually go and remove them from the admin group, as they do not need it. | 18:06 |
| Combatjuan | dtcrshr: If you specifically want to keep them from using the su command, sudo allows for that. I've never done it, but it's quite possible. | 18:07 |

| ikonia | Roasted: most ldap clients will allow cached credentials the same as windows, I do this all the time | 18:09 |
| Roasted | ikonia, are you using likewise open with ubuntu? | 18:09 |
| ikonia | not likewise specfically | 18:09 |
| dtcrshr | I see. well i need them to be able to run commands with sudo, but i want to block them to get as root. since sudo su root works, i didnt figure out how to do that | 18:10 |
| Roasted | ikonia, did you have to do something special to cache the credentials? or did it function like that by default? | 18:10 |
| woonix | Roasted: Likewise Enterprise for sure supports cached credentials. I don't know if the Open version has that stripped off. | 18:10 |
| beniwtv | dtcrshr: In that case, you can specifically set the commands that are enabled/disabled in sudo | 18:10 |
| Roasted | woonix, it wouldn't surprise me, I suppose. It didn't work for me on version 6 of likewise open. but at the same time I wasn't sure if I had to set something to do that or not. | 18:10 |
| ikonia | Roasted: as I recall it is a schema option in the AD schema that you enable as the machines join the domain, you also have a cached period, eg: allow cached credentials for 3 weeks before teh need for a new access token | 18:10 |
| woonix | Roasted, you'd think something like that would be on by default, if it were available at all. | 18:11 |
| Roasted | ikonia, I think I understand. Are you basically referring to it as there must be a "switch" to enable during the join process? | 18:11 |
| wildc4rd | evenin' all! | 18:12 |
| RobinJ | food! xD http://www.mustardsnack.com/ | 18:12 |
| ikonia | Roasted: not quiet, it's normally part of the AD schema settings and when your linux machine joins the domains it takes those settings to it's local setting | 18:12 |
| Combatjuan | dtcrshr: Unfortunately, I can't help you on the specifics. And it might be tricky to keep people from getting around it (by, for example sudo vim /etc/sudoers themselves). But look at man sudoers and search for "Cmnd". Presumably someone else has done this too. But I've have little luck searching. | 18:12 |

| dtcrshr | beniwtv,where to i do that? i want users to dont be able to use sudo su root and be root with theyr own password. users would only be root if they log in as this, wich they have to know the password | 18:13 |

| ricorx7 | kyan: temperature in room could increase temp in system, i have found when i notice my computer slowing down, it usually is when temp changes occur | 18:38 |
| wildc4rd | aye, thanks beniwtv, but I don't keep anything important on it, and I have a restore disk if the worst happens, lol | 18:38 |
| genii-around | Combatjuan: Did you still want to know how to get apt-get source --compile to auto install? | 18:39 |
| beniwtv | wildc4rd: ok, then you should be fine :) | 18:39 |
| Sticks_tlab | anyone? knowledge of which device is the right one for an external microphone or else inbuilt microphone??? | 18:39 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: I'll try to make a picture of this fail screen if you think it will be helpful in anyway ? | 18:39 |
| kyan | ricorx7 : Temperature is probably within 45 to 53 degrees Farhenheit. | 18:39 |
| Combatjuan | genii-around: Yes please. I did end up doing "% dpkg -i *.deb" and that seems to have worked though. But for future reference, it'd be nice. | 18:39 |
| gslack | before booting a live session of any distro, would always bring the DHCP failure but not so far | 18:40 |
| kyan | ricorx7: Is that a good temperature for it? | 18:40 |
| sai-kumar | Hi... | 18:40 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: ya, im usually talking about outside temps around 70-80 degrees f | 18:40 |

| GOMI | my pc always crashes is theire a way to what the main problem is | 18:41 |
| Sticks_tlab | no suggestions? I want to get an alsa program to run to capture microphone input, but i cannot locate the device that corresponds to the microphone | 18:41 |
| ayush_ | how do I start usb-creator? | 18:41 |
| kyan | ricorx7: It's probably fine then … Thanks. | 18:41 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: look at dmesg | 18:41 |
| larious | Combatjuan: can this package openvpn-blacklist_0.1-0ubuntu0.8.04.1_all.deb work for Ubuntu 10.04 | 18:42 |
| Combatjuan | larious: No idea. Seems like you should be able to find an official one for your version though. | 18:42 |
| beniwtv | Sticks_tlab: Try the arecord program in terminal, it can record and/or list your ALSA devices | 18:42 |
| Combatjuan | genii-around: Awesome. Thanks. | 18:42 |
| gslack | ayush_, you mean the startup disk creator? | 18:43 |
| Araneidae | All of a sudden Flash crashes in Chrome, every time I try to run it. Any suggestions for a fix? | 18:43 |
| gslack | chrome or chromium? | 18:43 |
| ayush_ | gslack, the program that creates a ubuntu live usb stick | 18:43 |
| GOMI | chromium | 18:43 |
| Araneidae | gslack, don't know | 18:44 |
| kyan | ricorx7: I will pastebin it, but it might take a minute because the computer is taking a long time to do anything :-D | 18:44 |
| mgaunard | I started an update of ubuntu over ssh, but my connection died | 18:44 |
| Sticks_tlab | beniwtv: I already did that, I cannot find correspondence between the feedback of arecord and the content of /dev/ | 18:44 |
| mgaunard | any way I can find it back? | 18:44 |
| Araneidae | I mean the installed chromium web browser, I guess | 18:44 |
| Satisfied | possible that ubuntu.com would blacklist IP's ? I can't connect to the website unless I'm using tor ... | 18:44 |
| gslack | Araneidae, well they are different | 18:44 |
| Kjellski | Can someone tell me how to convert the windows "´" to a ubuntu one? It´s the single apostroph, from the key left to backspace on a german keyboard... in less it appeares as <B4> | 18:44 |
| Araneidae | Well, I've installed Google Chrome from the repository | 18:45 |
| Araneidae | Guess that's Chrome | 18:45 |
| larious | Combatjuan: cnt find any for 10.04 | 18:45 |
| beniwtv | Sticks_tlab: There is no /dev/ for ALSA, that is OSS, another sound API. For ALSA, programs use the ALSA library directly. | 18:45 |
| gslack | chromium is the non-google branded one | 18:45 |
| Araneidae | gslack, right, I get it. I'm running the branded one | 18:45 |
| genii-around | Combatjuan: You're welcome | 18:45 |
| gslack | and being as such they may act differently at least somewhat | 18:45 |
| gslack | ok google then | 18:45 |
| Sticks_tlab | beniwtv: this is the reply of arecord | 18:45 |
| Sticks_tlab | http://pastebin.com/sAxV2unL | 18:45 |

| gslack | but its not a gurantee u wont | 18:46 |
| Sticks_tlab | A Minimal Playback Program | 18:46 |
| beniwtv | Sticks_tlab: Yes, these are your ALSA devices. There is no file in /dev for those. | 18:46 |
| kyan | ricorx7: http://pastebin.com/Np9ka0k5 | 18:47 |
| gslack | also if its 64 bit os or 32 makes a difference with flash as well | 18:47 |
| beniwtv | Sticks_tlab: That program uses the ALSA library: #include <alsa/asoundlib.h> | 18:47 |
| gslack | the 64 bit flash player is buggy at best | 18:47 |
| === trism_ is now known as trism | ||

| Araneidae | I'm on 32 bit | 18:47 |
| beniwtv | Sticks_tlab: You would give it the device name, not the device file. | 18:47 |
| kyan | ricorx7: I do not see anything that looks particularly abnormal there, but I actually know very little regarding it so I am not the best judge of normality :-) | 18:47 |
| Araneidae | It's a brand new effect as of today | 18:47 |
| gslack | ok then u running actual flash or the freeware replacements? | 18:47 |

| Nach0z | I have a question for yall: i have some commands I want run when ubuntu starts up, how do I add them to the startup stuff? ;s | 18:48 |
| Araneidae | I presume the first step is to delete the relevant local state ... any idea where that is? | 18:48 |
| ikonia | dagon666: few options | 18:48 |
| gslack | ok , well chrome has a few plugins that are helpful to catch those sort of things | 18:48 |
| beniwtv | Sticks_tlab: Yep, probably the program has a way to specify that. | 18:48 |
| gslack | firebug lite is one | 18:49 |
| ikonia | dagon666: one, the wait time is too low for the array to assemble, 2) your falling into one of the problems of not having /boot on a sperate non-raid-5 array | 18:49 |
| woonix | massai29: #ubuntu-es | 18:49 |
| kyan | Nach0z: system>preferences>startup applications | 18:49 |
| gslack | also there are several flash blocking programs out there | 18:49 |

| gslack | "flash" lol | 18:49 |
| kyan | Nach0z: Aah... :-P Sorry :-D | 18:49 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: Im wondering why it did not got assembled ? It should all the needed drives were present | 18:50 |
| coz_ | hey all | 18:50 |
| Nach0z | lol no prob kyan. | 18:50 |
| Araneidae | Sigh. Flash :( | 18:50 |
| beniwtv | Sticks_tlab: Try arecord -L (upper case) to get device names | 18:50 |
| gslack | lol yep | 18:50 |
| gslack | same old same old with flash and linux | 18:50 |
| gslack | its a lil better but still a hassle | 18:50 |
| gslack | to be honest i have had no trouble with it at all lately | 18:50 |
| oCean | Nach0z: see /etc/rc.local | 18:50 |
| ikonia | dagon666: I thought you said one of the drives was taken oiut | 18:51 |
| GOMI | is theire anything to replace that "flash" | 18:51 |
| quant | gslack, there is no problem with flash in gnu/linux except that it's poorly coded and therefore a bit slow, but perfectly usable | 18:51 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: yes, it should got assmbled as degraded | 18:51 |
| gslack | usable yes but reliable no | 18:51 |
| quant | GOMI, there is gnash, which doesn't have all the flash functionality, but my suffice | 18:51 |
| Sticks_tlab | beniwtv: I figured it out, it is actually the card number | 18:51 |
| ikonia | dagon666: not if the disk you took out contains info on how to boot it | 18:51 |
| ikonia | dagon666: hence why /boot is normally not on a raid 5 disk | 18:51 |
| gslack | well i can only speak for 64 bit last couple years tho | 18:51 |
| quant | gslack, run 32-bit, if you can | 18:52 |
| beniwtv | Sticks_tlab: Strange program, but ok :) | 18:52 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: you can see where the timestamps jump | 18:52 |
| Araneidae | Hmm. Wonder what will happen if I delete ~/.cache | 18:52 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: that gives you a clue | 18:52 |
| gslack | SWF is functional too | 18:52 |
| quant | !gnash | GOMI | 18:52 |
| ubottu | GOMI: gnash is Gnash is an open-source Flash replacement. It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ | 18:52 |
| gslack | i have had no issues this past few months | 18:52 |
| Sticks_tlab | beniwtv: Well thats what the spec of snd_pcm_open tells me, how can I identify the right number though!? | 18:52 |
| Araneidae | Nope | 18:52 |
| gslack | was talking to another who had problems | 18:52 |
| Sticks_tlab | ah.. arecord | 18:53 |
| Sticks_tlab | tells me | 18:53 |
| Sticks_tlab | never mind ^^ | 18:53 |
| beniwtv | Sticks_tlab: arecord | 18:53 |
| beniwtv | oh... ok :) | 18:53 |
| Sticks_tlab | thanks for ur help <3 | 18:53 |
| gslack | actually i started using the adobe and chromium PPA's i had no problem | 18:53 |

| Ransoogard | Help for DVD formatting and burning issues please. K3B, wodim, and cdrecord all failing to record onto or format my DVD+RW discs. | 18:53 |
| GOMI | cool will look at it | 18:53 |
| dagon666 | ikonia: I dont understand, all the data is on the array itself, none of the disks contains any valuable data on their own. I think its a matter of some strange settings in ubuntu initramfs scripts | 18:53 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: well one was setting up the network took a lot of time | 18:53 |
| jpmonette | I rebooted my ubuntu today and my mousepad and keyboard isnt working anymore | 18:53 |
| jpmonette | i cant write or click anything | 18:53 |
| ikonia | dagon666: it's not | 18:54 |
| dagon666 | unfortunatelly Im not an expert | 18:54 |
| jpmonette | im dual booting in Windows and everything is fine, so i know it's a problem with Ubuntu | 18:54 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: but i think that will only help on bootup to improve the slowness | 18:54 |
| ikonia | dagon666: think about it, the information needed to build the array is stored within the initram, yet the initram is stored on the assembled array, how does it know how to assemble the array if the data used to assemble the array is stored on the array | 18:54 |
| ikonia | dagon666: it's a known issue having /boot on a raid 5 array or a raid 1 array | 18:54 |
| dagon666 | do You know maybe which script is responsible in initramfs for assembling an array during boot time | 18:54 |
| ikonia | dagon666: sorry, raid 5 or raid 0 | 18:55 |
| ikonia | dagon666: listen to what I'm telling you | 18:55 |
| beniwtv | ikonia: RAID uses metadata on the HDD | 18:55 |
| Kjellski | How can I repair a file that I want to read on ubuntu and the file comes from windows? | 18:55 |
| kyan | ricorx7: Well this is not really a boot issue, beyond that the external hard drives are not mounting (which itself is a whole other bloody nightmare) : this is where opening the main menu takes 2minutes and opening a terminal takes 4 | 18:55 |
| ikonia | beniwtv: yes, I know that | 18:55 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: you could try a livecd to see if it is hardware | 18:55 |
| ViN86 | Kjellski, what type fo file? | 18:55 |
| woonix | Kjellski: Repair? Is this a plain text file? | 18:55 |
| kushal2 | Hi I have a quick question. If I dualboot Win 7 and Ubuntu, what is the best way to remove Ubuntu without affecting the windows installation? | 18:55 |
| ikonia | kushal2: delete the ubuntu partition, then re-install the windows boot loader from a windows CD | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | kushal2: boot to win7 cd and reinstate win7 boot loader | 18:56 |
| beniwtv | ikonia: That is how it knows how to reassemble them, even the alternate installer can boot your arrays when installing | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | kushal2: then boot to windows and remove the ubuntu partitions | 18:56 |
| Araneidae | Wow. What is ~/.ccache? It's *huge* | 18:56 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: if you do not see the slowness on the livecd, then it might be your linux setup | 18:56 |
| kyan | ricorx7: I don't think it's hardware because it was working last night. Maybe something broke, however. | 18:56 |
| ikonia | beniwtv: does grub know how to build raid 5 arrays ? | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | kushal2: if you used wubi, just use ad remove programs and it's all handled | 18:56 |
| Kjellski | ViN86: woonix: yes, it´s perl source code and the ´ sign are converted to some ugly Â' or something... | 18:56 |
| kushal2 | but I don't have the windows installer anymore | 18:56 |
| ikonia | beniwtv: or does it need the info out of initrd to understand what a raid 5 array is | 18:56 |
| kyan | ricorx7: I thought live cds were always slow :-D | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | kushal2: then you can use the supergrub disk | 18:56 |
| === skaet is now known as skaet_afk | ||
| ricorx7 | kyan: it is usually slower then what you see now? | 18:57 |
| kushal2 | ActionParsnip: can I put that on a stick? | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | kushal2: sutre | 18:57 |
| beniwtv | ikonia: I think it supports RAID 1 only, I've used that, but not sure about RAID 5. | 18:57 |
| woonix | Kjellski: Is that supposed to be a single quote? | 18:57 |
| kyan | ricorx7: usually I can not detect the time it takes to open a menu, and a terminal opens in about 2 seconds | 18:57 |
| ikonia | beniwtv: EXACTLY, which is why I'm saying you can't have raid 5 for your /boot partition | 18:57 |
| ikonia | beniwtv: grub needs the info to know how to deal with the striped disk formats of raid 0 and raid 5 | 18:58 |
| Kjellski | woonix: I think so, yes... it was used like here in "don´t" | 18:58 |
| kyan | ricorx7: so it's usually (like last night) much faster. | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Araneidae: probably web cache and such | 18:58 |
| beniwtv | ikonia: Correct | 18:58 |
| Araneidae | Well, it's gone now | 18:58 |
| * Araneidae is having a bit of a purge of $HOME | 18:59 | |
| ActionParsnip | Araneidae: possibly "ccache is a compiler cache" | 18:59 |
| woonix | Kjellski: The problem, then, is that the original text editor decided to use fancy directional quotes instead of standard single or double quotes. You can run the file through a script to replace them. | 18:59 |
| zulax | since a few days, I have seen abnormal activities with my keyboard, it types random num13bers for some letters | 18:59 |
| Araneidae | Aha! | 18:59 |
| Araneidae | ActionParsnip, yes, that rings a bell | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Araneidae: what is the output of: lsb_release -a please? | 18:59 |
| kyan | ricorx7: I do not think it's cpu that is making it slow, beacuse it is not very much usage. Possibly a lack of ram, and resultant paging, but I do not know why I would not have experienced it previosuly. | 18:59 |
| Araneidae | No LSB modules are available. | 18:59 |

| woonix | Kjellski: or a search and replace would work well, if you have a text editor that can do that. If you needed to modify many files, then you would want to automate that task. | 19:00 |
| Araneidae | Sorry about that | 19:00 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: can you disconnect the problem hdd and still run? If so, give it a try. Check the system monitor to see if a process is a problem | 19:00 |

| Odaym | i had Windows 7 and Ubuntu booting together, and then i installed Kubuntu. I removed the Kubuntu partition, rebooted and then i got "Unknown partition, grub rescue>" command prompt | 19:06 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: did you see any spikes in "system monitor" under cpu, memory or network? | 19:06 |
| Deithrian | coz_ perfect thanks again :) | 19:06 |
| woonix | Kjellski: apt-get install flip, and then flip -u <filename> should convert the line-endings to standard Unix style, so that will at least take care of that [converted][dos] message. | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | vish: its true though :D | 19:06 |
| coz_ | Deithrian, no problem... now I havent tried it with sound ,, so you might have to experiment with it | 19:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Odaym: so you had 2 seperate Linux installs and a windows install? Ubuntu, Kubuntum and windows? | 19:06 |
| woonix | Kjellski: but the strange character with your quote is another issue | 19:06 |
| Odaym | yes Dr_Willis | 19:07 |
| Ransoogard | Please help. :< My DVD+RW disk can't be formatted and I don't know why. I've tried wodim, k3b, and cdrecord and they've all failed. | 19:07 |

| Odaym | i am now booted from the Kubuntu live cd, and i tried the command "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda" to reinstall grub | 19:07 |
| Odaym | but it isn't working | 19:07 |
| kyan | ricorx7: Ah, I could not find system monitor but I found Task Manager under system tools and I have found a culprit : recollindex is using 456,4 mb of ram …and I only have 748 total! | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Odaym: You sure thats the right mountpoint? | 19:07 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: thats good | 19:07 |
| Odaym | it isn't | 19:07 |
| Odaym | how can i know? | 19:08 |
| Odaym | and where is grub supposed to sit? | 19:08 |
| Odaym | the problem is that the surviving Ubuntu install has lost its grub? | 19:08 |
| Odaym | right? | 19:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | Odaym | 19:08 |
| ubottu | Odaym: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 19:08 |
| edoctoor | QUESTION: How do I RESTORE the MBR on the first Drive? | 19:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Odaym: the latest linux install took over grub. | 19:08 |
| Odaym | yes | 19:08 |
| Odaym | and then i removed it | 19:08 |
| delac | omgponies! | 19:08 |
| Odaym | and so no more booting at all? | 19:08 |
| Odaym | grub overcomes the ones for Windows? | 19:08 |
| ricorx7 | edoctoor: was the first drive windows or linux | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Ransoogard: try: sudo dvd+rw-format -force /dev/sr0 | 19:08 |

| kf | hello | 19:09 |
| ricorx7 | edoctoor: do you have a windows cd? | 19:09 |
| Ransoogard | ActionParsnip: Will do. | 19:09 |
| edoctoor | ricorx7, Yes I have the windows cd | 19:09 |
| kyan | ricorx7: Hah! I killed it (had to use -9) and memory usage dropped to almost nothing! | 19:09 |
| woonix | truepurple: Go to the File menu and make sure that "Work Offline" is not set. | 19:09 |
| Odaym | Dr_Willis, where can i know where to install the grub? | 19:10 |
| Odaym | i mean where to mount it on | 19:10 |
| Ransoogard | ActionParsnip: I'll try dvd+rw-format from now on. It looks like it's playing nice with my DVD drive. | 19:10 |
| kyan | ricorx7: …and now it is very fast! | 19:10 |
| Odaym | on the partition (or hdX) that has a Ubuntu install? | 19:10 |
| ricorx7 | edoctoor: i know on the windows cd there is a ways, i forget if it was rescue mode or a seperate utility, you can google it though | 19:10 |
| Ransoogard | Will give a shout back if I have troubles or if it works in the end. | 19:10 |
| kyan | ricorx7: Thank you!! Now I can begin working on the hdd … :-P | 19:10 |
| ricorx7 | kyan: thats good | 19:10 |
| truepurple | woonix: It wasn't checked | 19:11 |
| Ransoogard | Er, *dvd+rw-tools | 19:11 |
| Kjellski | woonix: I've managed to get it ;) That character was single quote and backspace afterwards like the bash execution quotes ´` | 19:11 |
| edoctoor | ricorx7, I think your right | 19:11 |
| edoctoor | thanks | 19:11 |
| kyan | ricorx7: …and I've disabled it from the startup applications so I do not have to do this again! | 19:11 |

| Dr_Willis | Odaym: and you want to put grub on /dev/sda most likely | 19:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Odaym: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint /dev/sda --recheck | 19:12 |
| truepurple | woonix: Any other ideas? | 19:12 |
| woonix | truepurple: Are you chatting from your ubuntu system now? | 19:13 |
| w__ | ActionParsnip: thanks, worked just as I wanted. You are my hero! | 19:13 |
| Sticks_tlab | beniwtv: I still have the same problem, the api spec was obsolete, its actually the ASCII indentifier of the PCM handle | 19:13 |
| Odaym | is "InstalledSystemMountPoint" supposed to be filled by me, Dr_Willis? | 19:13 |
| aditya_ | hello everyone | 19:13 |
| Sticks_tlab | beniwtv: Any clue on what that is? | 19:13 |
| truepurple | woonix: Yeah, so it must be the browser I figure | 19:13 |
| Odaym | how do i see on my system what is mounted where? | 19:13 |
| Odaym | with "df"? | 19:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Odaym: Makes sence dont it.. heh.. | 19:14 |
| woonix | truepurple: well, what happens when you try to browse a page? Does it just time out? | 19:14 |
| Dr_Willis | df = disk free.. mount = shows mounted filesystems | 19:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Odaym: if its mounted use 'mount' to see where' if not' use mount to mount it somewhere | 19:14 |
| aditya_ | hey has anyone noticed this, the system freezes without mouse move. | 19:15 |
| truepurple | woonix: Yeah, a really long time waiting as it tries to fetch the page, then nothing. Sometimes I can squeek out a tiny bit of internet here and there, but mostly not | 19:15 |
| aditya_ | just like hibernation accept the system is not hibernating | 19:15 |
| Ransoogard | ActionParsnip: growisofs seems like it's doing the trick. | 19:15 |
| woonix | truepurple: have you tried accessing different pages? | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | w__: np man | 19:15 |
| aditya_ | downloads stop and when u move ur mouse they start again | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Ransoogard: sweet | 19:15 |
| truepurple | woonix Yeah, lots of em, and big names too, google, bing, hotmail, yahoo etd | 19:16 |
| aditya_ | hey ur browser is in offline mode | 19:16 |
| Ransoogard | ActionParsnip: Thanks for the help. I think cdrecord and wodim aren't optimized or meant for DVD burning. :/ | 19:16 |
| aditya_ | remove the work offline option | 19:16 |
| Ransoogard | See ya. Hopefully this works. | 19:16 |
| Dr_Willis | I thought cdrecord was wodim these days.. | 19:16 |
| truepurple | adiya: Are you talking to me? No it isn't. | 19:17 |
| aditya_ | ok | 19:17 |
| aditya_ | wat seems to be the problem | 19:17 |
| truepurple | My internet connection went bad earlier, the phone company has since fixed the line, but I can still not browse online with firefox under ubuntu. | 19:17 |
| aditya_ | U cannot browse any content on the net | 19:17 |
| truepurple | But I can be on IRC on that same machine | 19:17 |
| woonix | truepurple: I'd go to a terminal and "ping -c 5 www.google.com" and see if you get a response, how fast it is, and if there is any packet loss. | 19:17 |
| aditya_ | so u get page time out for everyting | 19:17 |
| aditya_ | everything | 19:17 |
| owner | Привет всем) | 19:18 |
| truepurple | woonix: Use quotes? | 19:18 |
| woonix | truepurple: no, I used quotes to delimit the command to make it easy to read in irc | 19:18 |
| truepurple | aditya: Yeah, except sometimes it squeeks out just a tiny bit of internet | 19:18 |
| aditya_ | ok | 19:18 |
| woonix | truepurple: the -c 5 makes it go five times, otherwise it will keep pinging forever. | 19:19 |
| aditya_ | Well an easy way to check if its a browser fault of internet fault is to ping the site from terminal | 19:19 |
| borillion | Here is a stupid question, when you hit up arrow when you are in terminal and it shows you commands you put in before, does anyone know where you can see a list of them? | 19:19 |
| Dr_Willis | borillion: cat .history | 19:19 |
| ricorx7 | history | 19:19 |
| borillion | thanks | 19:20 |
| aditya_ | open terminal and type ping www.google.com | 19:20 |
| woonix | truepurple: Do you have any networking experience? There's a program called wireshark that can trace your connection attempt including any traffic in and out, which is often helpful when troubleshooting network issues, but it takes a bit of understanding to interpret the results. | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | borillion: thats the history feature of the bash shell. dont rely on those commands always being there. :) if you run one then more shell at a time they can change | 19:20 |
| urthmover | I am unable to hear my speakers when I plug into the headphone jack. I have tried the three different output type in the sound preferences to no availe. Where do I begin to trouble shoot this? | 19:20 |

| 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 :) | 19:20 |
| Dr_Willis | borillion: check the history command for more info | 19:20 |
| aditya_ | if u do not get request timed out then we can debug the browser | 19:20 |
| maislandsam | hi | 19:20 |
| woonix | maislandsam: hi! | 19:20 |
| Odaym | Dr_Willis, in the mount, i got this line "dev/sda5 on /media/disk type ext4", so this should be my installed system mount point right? | 19:20 |
| truepurple | woonix: Ok done, it seemed to ping just fine | 19:21 |
| maislandsam | hi w | 19:21 |
| borillion | Dr_Willis I know they change and get written over :D | 19:21 |
| aditya_ | Ok | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Odaym: check the contensts of /media/disk that is a linux filesystem yes.. i dont know if thats your / or /home or could be somthing else. | 19:21 |
| Odaym | im going to do "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/sda5 /dev/sda --recheck" is that right? | 19:21 |
| maislandsam | were u from | 19:21 |
| aditya_ | Go to firefox and clear cache and cookies | 19:21 |
| maislandsam | brb | 19:21 |
| truepurple | woonix: I can't download anything with my browser, anyway its clear that the browser is at fault | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Odaym: No... your MOUNTPOINT is not /dev/sda5 | 19:21 |
| aditya_ | also set the proxy settings to auto detect proxy | 19:21 |
| Odaym | i will cd to /media/disk | 19:22 |
| Odaym | what should i find there? | 19:22 |
| Odaym | or what shouldn't i find.. | 19:22 |
| ranjan | truepurple, what is the problem with your browser? | 19:22 |
| Odaym | no such file or directory.. | 19:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Odaym: if its your / you sould see root, etc, tmp, boot, and other system dirs | 19:22 |
| woonix | truepurple: you said it was firefox? | 19:22 |
| Odaym | it isn't | 19:22 |
| Odaym | remember im from a live cd yes | 19:22 |
| raven | possible to mount lvm drives on their own? | 19:23 |
| aditya_ | truepurple : r u still talking with me? | 19:23 |
| truepurple | woonix: Yeah firefox | 19:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Odaym: your old installed systems's / would still show a tmp, root, and other dirs.. | 19:23 |
| ranjan | raven, lvm support is not there in the default installation i think for ubuntu | 19:23 |
| truepurple | woonix: The problem with my browser firefox is that it is no longer retreaving internet | 19:23 |
| Odaym | but "cd /media/disk" says no such file or directory, Dr_Willis | 19:23 |
| woonix | raven: What do you mean by that? You should be able to mount any of your logical partitions anywhere you want, individually. | 19:24 |
| genii-around | truepurple: Perhaps check under File in firefox's menu to see if Work Offline has a checkmark | 19:24 |
| ranjan | truepurple, any proxy or something between you and internet? | 19:24 |
| woonix | I asked him about Offline mode, he already checked that it is not set. | 19:24 |
| truepurple | Not that I set up | 19:24 |
| truepurple | @ranjan | 19:24 |
| Polah | truepurple: DNS servers? | 19:24 |

| Polah | kyan: if you set the final digit as 7 it should be readable/writable by everyone. On a second thought, you might want to set it to 666, else it'll make everything executable | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Ner0x: basically you need to reassociate folders with nautilus. If you websearch "places menu opens rhythmnbox ubuntu" you will find a slew of solved how tos | 19:37 |
| Dr_Willis | If a failing disk/currupted filesystem is detected. the Operating system may automatically remount it -read-only- reguardless of what you try to chmod it to do. | 19:38 |
| ner0x | Yeah, fixed already. :) | 19:38 |
| borillion | Dr_Willis how I get Ubuntu to know that when I click on *sch files that it should open them with the programs I just compiled? | 19:38 |
| Polah | kyan: No hang on, 777. Maybe reset just the files after to 666 | 19:38 |
| woonix | Does this channel have an infobot? | 19:38 |

| BlaDe^ | Hey guys-- i'm trying to setup vsftpd | 20:22 |
| TEKLore | Starminn: ic ... ty i guess ill go vent there :D | 20:22 |
| BlaDe^ | it's all installed and i can connect ot it.. I created a user using useradd -g ftp -p password -s /user/sbin/nologin ftpuser (Or similar) | 20:22 |
| truepurple | terry: A internal IP, one slightly different then the other one listed though | 20:22 |
| BlaDe^ | and it says invalid login if i try connect.. Any ideas? | 20:22 |
| jiltdil | StarStarminn: one more question if i have an ip of my friend how to chat using it via termainl? | 20:22 |
| Starminn | TEKLore: :) Absolutely! They love it when people vent! | 20:22 |
| terry | truepurple: Does the output of route -n show an IP address that is within the subnet of the internal IP address that your system is using? | 20:22 |
| terry | truepurple: ping -c 1 av.com #Type into terminal window, hit enter, see what it says. | 20:22 |
| Starminn | jiltdil: That's over my head. I keep it pretty simple for myself, so I can't really advise on that. :( | 20:23 |
| jiltdil | Straminn:ok thanx for helping so much | 20:23 |
| Starminn | jiltdil: But I will tell you this: A lot of people ask about having a secure chat connection. SSH is what gets suggested ot them. | 20:23 |
| truepurple | Terry: I didn't understand the first thing you said | 20:23 |
| seanzy | hey, i have multi monitors but when i fullscreen something like youtube it's going to the smaller screen and not even using the whole screen. how can i make it go to the big screen? | 20:23 |
| jiltdil | Starminn: how to use to chat via ssh | 20:24 |
| Starminn | jiltdil: So you could try opening an SSH connection between the two of you, perhaps. :)I Sorry I couldn't help more. | 20:24 |
| Starminn | jiltdil: I've never SSH'd, haha. Try Google. It seems ot be a common question so it shouldn't be too bad. | 20:24 |
| truepurple | terry: Ok, done. | 20:24 |
| truepurple | Terry: What should I look for? | 20:24 |
| terry | truepurple: What is the gateway address? #If you highlight that address and come here and hit middle mouse button it will print it here for us to see. | 20:24 |
| terry | truepurple: Did it ping? | 20:25 |
| BlaDe^ | any ideas guys? | 20:25 |
| terry | truepurple: Or did it say unknown host? | 20:25 |

| Polah | Wicked: Is your boot device set correctly? | 20:27 |
| terry | truepurple: The gateway address would be under gateway (last line) in the output of route -n | 20:27 |
| Polah | Wicked: In your BIOS, that is. | 20:27 |
| terry | truepurple: What is the gateway address? | 20:28 |

| truepurple | anvo, look up what kind of motherboard you have | 20:28 |

| jesse_ | maxmouse, were you able to fix it? | 20:38 |
| maxmouse | jesse_, it was a long time ago. Uhm....i think it might have had something to do with the xWindow system itself. | 20:39 |
| maxmouse | Like, something in a config file somewhere..... | 20:39 |
| mgolisch | BlaDe^: add /usr/sbin/nologin to the /etc/shells file, vsftp should accept it then | 20:40 |

| dagon666 | hello again, finally I camed to some conclusions with my raid. It was not the problem of /boot on the array.

| tjiggi_fo | Lasivian, sudo lshw -C Network - that'll show the drivers used by your wireless interfaces. you can then blacklist the driver of the one you want to disable. | 21:19 |
| madsj | ,ask | 21:19 |
| madsj | riz__: just ask | 21:20 |
| yagoo | b26, use gparted live cd.. after that boot into ubuntu rescue prompt with ubuntu cd.. | 21:20 |
| b26 | you have a tutorial for it? | 21:20 |
| riz__ | I have a problem with opera 11, In that it renders very slow | 21:20 |

| BlaDe^ | ayecee how do I add it? I'm trying to create a secure ftp user | 21:22 |
| ayecee | BlaDe^: add it with a text editor | 21:22 |
| akavlie | erUSUL, BlaDe^ -- how do I access connections there via terminal though? | 21:22 |
| BlaDe^ | can be empty? | 21:22 |

| Deithrian | ubuntuguy you can try kdenlive also, it has audio editing but it's very buggy unless they updated it from the last time i used it | 21:24 |
| ayecee | BlaDe^: it would probably cause problems if it were empty. | 21:24 |
| BlaDe^ | ayecee i'm still getting 530 Login incorrect | 21:24 |

| yagoo | akavlie, that post is too old.. | 21:28 |
| akavlie | yagoo, that's vague. I'm looking at gvfs stuff in terminal right now. | 21:29 |

| b26 | i'm going to be resizing my windows partition and adding space to my ubuntu.. i was told i gotta fix grub afterwards & reading through the guide | 21:54 |
| Polah | GeekyAdam: It would really depend on the contents of the image. For example a 1000x1000 plain white image is obviously a smaller size since it has no real information | 21:55 |
| b26 | it says mount your normal system partition, that'd be / based off of my pastebin @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/588397/ right? | 21:55 |
| GeekyAdam | Polah: right. im just doing your basic "reduce image filesize for website upload" stuff | 21:55 |
| epzis | hello everyone, im looking for some informations about buying an UPS , actually i saw some pretty cool APC ones, to just make them work without any optionals (just battery when power goes) do i need anything on ubuntu? mind you im fairly noob with this (link is http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SMT750I&ISOCountryCode=gb) do i just need to plug and PAY? (i dont want any software installed no | 21:55 |
| epzis | r drivers) | 21:55 |
| Polah | b26: looks like it yes, /dev/sda5, but you want to install grub to just /dev/sda | 21:55 |
| FloodBot2 | epzis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:55 |
| GeekyAdam | Polah: so i was hoping for a method that would apply to any image | 21:55 |
| Polah | Unless you're putting it on it's own partition, in which case you can use /dev/sdaX | 21:55 |
| oCean | epzis: wrong channel, this is ubuntu support only. Maybe try #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:56 |
| RealKillaz | oCean, I see right down a USB icon for the virtualbox. | 21:56 |
| Polah | GeekyAdam: Don't think so. You could just specify a standard size to resize it to. | 21:56 |
| RealKillaz | oCean, it's saying no USB device attached | 21:56 |
| b26 | Polah: so grub-install /dev/sda | 21:56 |
| b26 | afterwards | 21:56 |
| epzis | oCean: i want to know if it can work without software, i suppose its most definetly not the wrong channel since im using it on ubuntu | 21:56 |
| GeekyAdam | Polah: thx for the info | 21:56 |
| b26 | its also mentioning mounting your normal system partition.. sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt | 21:56 |
| b26 | i'd replace /mnt with / correct? | 21:57 |
| Polah | b26: Should be yes. You might need to specify the directory you want to install it in. If you're booting off a LiveCD you want to mount your system drive and do: grub-install --root-directory=/media/drivename /dev/sdX | 21:57 |
| Polah | b26: Ask in #grub for more information, I could be wrong. | 21:57 |

| jedix | hey, I'm having issues using the alternative installer for 11.04 beta 1 on a system with only 3tb drives | 22:04 |
| jedix | I can't get the machine to install and boot | 22:04 |
| jedix | is there a trick I need to do? | 22:04 |
| Polah | Jedix: What's the error? | 22:04 |
| jedix | Polah: grub won't install | 22:04 |
| Polah | jedix: grub-install | 22:04 |
| jedix | it seems to be GPT related | 22:04 |
| ThunderCO | is it useing a dvd or cd rom drive and is the ubuntu on a dvd or cd rom disc | 22:04 |
| Polah | jedix: Mount the drive and do "grub-install --root-directory=/mount/point /dev/sdX | 22:05 |
| Deithrian | brontosaurusrex i'm sorry how? | 22:05 |
| jedix | Polah: k, gotta wait for the installer to get that far again.. I tried to boot and rescue it.. didn;t work out so well.. | 22:05 |
| danileigh79 | stoopid terminal quit on me again | 22:05 |
| Polah | Jedix: You'll want to do that in terminal after the installation | 22:05 |
| jedix | Polah: a lot of pages are saying that I need to have a small partition to install stage2 into | 22:06 |
| jedix | Polah: is that accurate? | 22:06 |
| brontosaurusrex | Deithrian, i'd guess the same command as with mencoder, if that wont work than you may pipe from mplayer to mencoder | 22:06 |
| Polah | jedix: A separate partition for GRUB? No, you can just put it in your system root directory... | 22:06 |
| subcool | someone please help me | 22:06 |
| dezine | Hey everybody. I'm trying to set up an Echo Audiofire4 interface. I have no clue where to even start. Anyone have a guide or something they can point me to? | 22:06 |
| subcool | Im geting pissed. | 22:07 |
| danileigh79 | is there a way to resize the partition I put linux on? | 22:07 |
| jedix | Polah: no, a separate partition for stage2 because I can't install grub to MBR | 22:07 |
| DaPenguin | jedix, you can do it that way but there's really no reason to | 22:07 |
| jedix | DaPenguin: so that's outdated even for GPT data disks? | 22:07 |
| Deithrian | sigh | 22:07 |
| subcool | I have a Fedora installation on a VMware image, as a guest.. i just used a USBliveCD (kubuntu) to log in, and edit the partition sizes | 22:07 |
| Polah | jedix: That's why you do grub-install, to install it to the MBR after installing the system. | 22:07 |
| GeekyAdam | just for normal desktop use (no dev) should i install openjdk or Sun's java? | 22:07 |
| subcool | but- it wont let me adjust the original partition, - i also need to make the partion LVM, which it also wont do. | 22:08 |
| jedix | Polah: that doesn't work for 3tb drives | 22:08 |

| ForceDestroyer | Far up on the list of "OS showstoppers": decide at random every 6 hours whether or not to disable network adapters when booting. :( | 22:08 |
| Polah | GeekyAdam: OpenJDK is open source, Sun Java is proprietary and requires enabling of the Canonical partners repository. Either one works fine I find. | 22:08 |
| jedix | Polah: because it doesn't have a regular partition header (due to the 2tb boundry) | 22:08 |
| GeekyAdam | Polah: thx | 22:09 |
| DaPenguin | danileigh79, you can do it from the live cd using gparted | 22:09 |
| ThunderCO | it said something about a broken package | 22:09 |
| Polah | Jedix: Oh, I don't know them. Perhaps try asking more in #ubuntu+1, #grub or #hardware? | 22:09 |
| jedix | Polah: k, thanks | 22:09 |
| subcool | SOMEONE? | 22:11 |
| GeekyAdam | Polah: openjdk-6-jre or openjdk-6-jdk? normal non-dev desktop use | 22:11 |
| danileigh79 | dapenguin, does that mess with ny of the data I have already downloaded/installed? | 22:11 |

| ndxtg | does anyone know how to make grub2 detect a new ubuntu parition? (I just untar the backup to the partition)... grub2 is full of fail & makes things complicated compared to grub | 22:11 |
| DaPenguin | danileigh79, nah, gaprted can do non-destructive resizing | 22:11 |
| Polah | GeekyAdam, openjdk-6-jre | 22:12 |
| GeekyAdam | Polah: thx | 22:12 |
| GeekyAdam | oh, just realized the "d" in jdk stands for development | 22:12 |
| danileigh79 | dapenguin, I have a 80gb with windows on 74 gb, want to change it to make ubuntu larger, is that still possible with what you told me? | 22:13 |
| Polah | GeekyAdam, correct. JRE = Java Runtime Environment, JDK = Java Development Kit. | 22:13 |
| DaPenguin | danileigh79, just did that the other day to put /home on it's own partiton. yeah, it's fine | 22:13 |
| danileigh79 | dapenguin, thx | 22:13 |
| Ampelbein | ndxtg: you can add it manually to /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 22:14 |
| GeekyAdam | Polah: says its already the newest version, so why cant i see java applets in firefox? fresh ubuntu install. is there something else i need to install for java web applets to work? (do link is fine) | 22:14 |
| GeekyAdam | *(doc link is fine) | 22:14 |
| Polah | GeekyAdam: get ubuntu-restricted-extras. OpenJDK comes by default but not the Firefox plugin | 22:14 |
| DaPenguin | GeekyAdam, may be a ff plugin for it | 22:14 |
| GeekyAdam | Polah: thx | 22:15 |
| Polah | The restricted extras come with flash and java plugins, mp3/avi/mpeg support and things like that | 22:15 |
| ndxtg | Ampelbein: if there are ubuntu updates (such as kernel changes), it will run update-grub and the grub.cfg is rewritten so info is lost | 22:15 |
| Lasivian | damn, wrong driver.. well, at least i'm making progress | 22:15 |
| GeekyAdam | Polah: gotcha will do | 22:15 |
| ndxtg | Ampelbein: never mind, update-grub has found the new os, thank you | 22:16 |
| Polah | ndxtg, backup the config and replace it afterwardS? | 22:16 |

| FDtt | What are the consequences of booting from the older kernel version in the boot menu? Does it cause any trouble? | 23:00 |
| DaPenguin | FDtt, not usually | 23:00 |

| luvskey | I am connected via mobile broadband, but nm-applet doesn't show it. It says "never" in the "last used" info field. How can I fix it? | 23:06 |

| Auriga | Hello, is there a way to boot into the CLI while booting, ie, is there a key command, a way to avoid using the GUI & editing rc.conf or something? | 23:12 |
| bazhang | !nox | Auriga | 23:12 |
| ubottu | Auriga: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 23:12 |
| mkanyicy | Auriga, recovery mode | 23:12 |
| root_ | [Amarok] [title: Table For Glasses] [artist: Jimmy Eat World] [album: Clarity [Japan Edition]] | 23:12 |
| erUSUL | Auriga: press e in the grub menu to enter edit mode. go to the kernel line and remove "quiet" and "splash" and put "text" in their place | 23:13 |
| === Andrew_ is now known as Andrew626 | ||
| mkanyicy | what is that, root_ ? | 23:14 |
| Auriga | mkanyicy, Oh yeah I forgot about that, this is actually for Arch, but as the Arch irc demands registration... I am looking for answers elsewhere... I figured I would pick up info here that would help across distros... | 23:14 |
| bazhang | root_, disable that | 23:14 |
| maco | Auriga: why not just register? | 23:14 |
| root_ | mkanyicy: it's the music I'm listening to | 23:14 |
| Auriga | erUSUL, Thanks for that. | 23:15 |
| luvskey | I am curretly connected via mobile broadband, but nm-applet shows "never" in the "last used" field. How can I fix it? | 23:15 |
| Auriga | maco, Because I don't use IRC reguarly enough is why. | 23:15 |
| erUSUL | Auriga: i do not really dunno if that option works in Arch .... | 23:15 |
| maco | Auriga: maybe ##linux ? | 23:15 |
| Auriga | erUSUL, It's in a VM, but there is no grub menu, it just boots... So no lol. | 23:16 |
| erUSUL | Auriga: press shift to force the grub menu to appear | 23:16 |
| Auriga | maco, Yeah, I was about to go there. Either way, thanks for your inputs. | 23:16 |
| Auriga | erUSUL, Shall do... | 23:16 |
| Kayron | Hello...I have a question. I’m using cksfv on a 32bit system. It seems report size of files incorrectly...could this be related? | 23:17 |
| Kayron | different size from ls -la output | 23:17 |
| overlord | bonsoir | 23:17 |
| root_ | Kayron: related to what? | 23:17 |

| ubottu | overlord: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 23:17 |
| Kayron | to the fact that the sizes show up incorrect | 23:17 |
| root_ | ANd what do you think that's related to Kayron? | 23:18 |
| maco | Kayron: are they close but not quite? like maybe it's 1024 v. 1000? | 23:18 |
| Auriga | erUSUL, Thanks for that, as it's in a VM I edited menu.lst or something for times sake... I think i'm too tired for this headache now lol. | 23:18 |
| overlord | which program do you install to use ocsp responder ??? | 23:18 |
| Auriga | erUSUL, Again though thank you. | 23:18 |
| Kayron | uh,. not really..more like half | 23:18 |
| Kayron | no clue why | 23:18 |
| Kayron | tried messing around with the configure script | 23:19 |
| root_ | Kayron: what does "du -h" say? | 23:19 |
| Kayron | um..this is the compiler output | 23:20 |
| Kayron | gcc -Wall -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -I. -O2 -o cksfv cksfv.c print.c crc32.c readsfv.c newsfv.c | 23:20 |
| root_ | does it get the sizes right? | 23:20 |
| Kayron | Maybe I need to change that somehow? | 23:20 |
| root_ | [Amarok] [title: Believe In What You Want] [artist: Jimmy Eat World] [album: Clarity [Japan Edition]] | 23:20 |
| bazhang | root_, disable that | 23:21 |
| DaPenguin | lol, thank you, was just about to say something | 23:21 |
| root_ | noone was talking.... | 23:22 |
| bazhang | root_, does not matter. disable it. | 23:22 |

| DaPenguin | danileigh79, think its ~/.irssi for the config file iirc | 23:29 |
| shcherbak | danileigh79: real_name in config. | 23:29 |
| danileigh79 | dapenguin, do i open this in irssi or in terminal | 23:29 |
| ZarroBoogs | danileigh79: Use /set nick instead | 23:30 |
| DaPenguin | danileigh79, it's just a text file, so pick your favorite editor :) | 23:30 |
| minimec | danileigh79: /nick new-nick, then /save | 23:30 |

| FloodBot2 | !netsplit | 23:31 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 23:31 |

| pm2 | Hi - I'm on Kubuntu Lucid, and I'm trying to run a relatively old program that accesses the sound card through /dev/dsp. The program gives me this error: Sound card open for read failed: opensnd: open: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy. I'm not totally up to date with what Linux is doing with sound these days, but does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this? | 23:33 |

| DaPenguin | that's interesting, it doesn't even exist on my system... | 23:36 |
