| test34 | mickster04, exactly unless maybe if they have a program installed on your computer.. | 00:02 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: once your ubuntu boots again, do the update-grub again from within it should find windows too then | 00:02 |

| kingcheese26 | hello people | 00:05 |

| === ocean is now known as Guest59571 | ||
| leapy0yo | I mean is it cpu multithreaded for local files, is vlc that? | 00:06 |
| ac7ss | [clay], perhaps the network interface is not fully up when the boot mount command is issued. | 00:06 |
| [clay] | possible. how would i get around this, stick mount -a in my rc.local? | 00:06 |
| gunny17 | hello kingcheese | 00:06 |
| test34 | clay, does it have auto | 00:06 |
| ac7ss | [clay], are you dhcp or fixed Ip. (Fixed IP would be faster if an option.) | 00:07 |

| [clay] | dhcp | 00:07 |
| hachre | is it wired | 00:07 |

| tr3nton | don't know if anyone can help me... I need to re-install ubu on another hdd as I think my current one is about to cark it. The issue is to get net, I need to install additional drivers, but the router is on the other side of the house, and I don't currently have a network cable that long; is there a way I can copy the drivers from my existing install, and install it whilst being offline on the new install? | 00:07 |
| mickster04 | leapy0yo: that doesn't make sense, why wouldit need multithreading? what are you doing with these local files? if you are just playing it doesn't need to be? | 00:07 |
| ac7ss | [clay], changing it to static IP will make the connection quicker to establish. | 00:08 |
| [clay] | tr3nton, take pc to router? | 00:08 |
| [clay] | :D | 00:08 |
| snake_ | how can I tie my external IP to my device on my computer (eth0) | 00:08 |
| [clay] | ok i'll give that a shot. it's "static dhcp" anyway | 00:09 |
| induz | why I can not open pd file from web browser mozilla | 00:09 |
| [clay] | now to figure out how to lol | 00:09 |
| tr3nton | hmm.. yeah. its possible. but a bit of a huge hassle.. thought there might be a way to extract drivers somehow? lol | 00:09 |
| ac7ss | snake_, You have to port forward in the router. | 00:09 |
| induz | some pdf webbrowser is just plain back | 00:09 |
| ac7ss | [clay], it would be part of the ifup setup. | 00:09 |

| snake_ | PROXY! why didn't I think of that :P | 00:12 |
| hachre | tr3nton: its quite complicated, you should really hook it up with a wired connection and install it like that | 00:12 |
| snake_ | I used a proxy to get on youtube at school! | 00:12 |
| snake_ | and I didn't think of it here, in real life. | 00:13 |
| tr3nton | hachre: oh ok no worries. thanks :) | 00:13 |
| bernie | the custom tab for choosing the window manager in gnome-appearance-settings is gone... | 00:13 |
| hachre | tr3nton: it needs to download several things also based on your exact hardware that it figures out while you look at that menu | 00:13 |
| bobmanuk | hachre: no dice, still get no OS found | 00:13 |
| snake_ | ac7ss, no luck on port 8080. BUt thanks for the proxy idea. | 00:13 |

| ac7ss | snake_, thanks for that site. Beware, if you over-use the connection, verizon can charge you for excessive traffic. | 00:14 |

| powerpc_ | how do I remove all desktop/X packages from ubuntu so that I get the console screen to login and operate? | 00:16 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: you need to go back into live, select your ubuntu drive in the UI, check sudo mount again in the console, look at its mountpoint e.g. /media/ubuntu and then do: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntu/boot /dev/sda | 00:16 |
| powerpc_ | (like -server would give me by default) | 00:16 |
| bobmanuk | hachre: thanks, just mounting now, hate this, the mount path randomly changes and is very... long lol | 00:17 |

| powerpc_ | how do I delete all packages pertaining to a meta package? | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | hachre: The grub-install command you gave bobmanuk was incorrect. If you pass --root-directory= it needs to point to the *root* directory, not the boot directory. | 00:23 |
| powerpc_ | a simple aptitude remove <metapackage> only deleted that one package (ubuntu-desktop) | 00:23 |

| viking667 | scp user@host:/place/* ./ | 00:24 |
| hachre | Jordan_U: well thanks, i will give him the bad news once he is back ;) | 00:24 |
| Darkenvy | so If I dont want folder "dynmap" to copy then: | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | hachre: No, because grub is still installed, it's just going to look for a grub.cfg in /boot/boot/grub/grub.cfg instead of /boot/grub/grub.cfg (which means that bobmanuk will just get a grub shell at boot since no grub.cfg will be found). | 00:24 |
| Darkenvy | scp user@host:/place/* ./dynmap | 00:25 |
| hachre | Jordan_U: ahh right | 00:25 |
| hachre | Jordan_U: ok | 00:25 |

| Darkenvy | same with another folder "beta" is symlinked and is 2GB big | 00:26 |
| WeThePeople | how do i check what version of ubuntu i am using in the terminal | 00:26 |
| Darkenvy | better off? as in yuo dont know? | 00:26 |
| ninwa | Brwa, gedit does. | 00:26 |
| viking667 | WeThePeople: cat /etc/issue | 00:26 |
| hachre | Jordan_U: so if /boot is on a seperate filesystem it would actually fail without a symlink back to itself? | 00:26 |
| Darkenvy | I know exclusion cant be too hard | 00:26 |
| Brwa | how? | 00:26 |
| ninwa | Brwa, it's under Applications -> accessories -> text editor | 00:26 |
| ninwa | right click on an open part of the document | 00:26 |
| viking667 | DarkEnvy: I don't hink scp does exclusion | 00:26 |
| ninwa | it's under unicode control character, then rtl | 00:26 |
| ninwa | or I guess it's in there as RLE | 00:27 |
| Brwa | i know it does but only part by part | 00:27 |
| Darkenvy | what about copy and pasting exculsion? | 00:27 |
| ac7ss | WeThePeople, uname or do you want the '10.4' type information. | 00:27 |
| Brwa | i have a document with 500 parts | 00:27 |
| Darkenvy | make a new dir and copy everything but | 00:27 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: i gave you a wrong command, wb | 00:27 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: did you get a grub shell? | 00:27 |
| Brwa | i mean 500 lines | 00:27 |
| bobmanuk | hachre: i got a grub command prompt yeah | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | hachre: No. Grub determines the path that should be embedded into the core.img with "grub-mkrelpath" so mount points are taken into account. There is also a separate --boot-directory= option. | 00:27 |
| ninwa | Brwa, hm. :) Not sure. | 00:27 |
| viking667 | darkenvy: what the heck are you using? | 00:27 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: heh, sorry bout that, Jordan_U pointed out after you left i had a mistake in my command | 00:28 |
| Darkenvy | server ubuntu | 00:28 |
| hachre | Jordan_U: ahh ok :) | 00:28 |
| bobmanuk | hachre: im on a laptop so i can do it on my pc while im on here lol | 00:28 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: you need to repeat what we just did | 00:28 |
| Brwa | any other tip/solutions ? | 00:28 |
| viking667 | darkenvy: then what's wrong with using sftp interactively? | 00:28 |
| Riaku | lets see im attempting to add ubuntu to a laptop im working on, formatted the harddrive, ect... for it, i begin to install, and it freezes, occasionally on the menu after choosign the language/try it/install, occasionally on the steps afterward, but it never finishes the installer | 00:28 |
| Darkenvy | im not installing ftp | 00:28 |
| bobmanuk | hachre: ok loading the livecd again | 00:28 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: but this time the command is (sec) | 00:28 |
| viking667 | scp probably doesn't do exclusion. I know it does recursion | 00:28 |
| Darkenvy | so what about cp a dir and exlude then? | 00:29 |
| Darkenvy | then I can scp that new dir | 00:29 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntu /dev/sda | 00:29 |
| viking667 | darkenvy: sftp is a ftp client that connects to a remote ssh server and pulls the files through your normal ssh link. | 00:29 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: the difference is we had a /boot attached to the path before | 00:29 |
| viking667 | darkenvy: hm? where does it think you are? pwd tells you | 00:39 |
| ac7ss | [clay], did you see my post before the split? | 00:39 |
| Brwa | is there a text editor supported RTL direction like notepad++ in windows? | 00:39 |

| Brwa | no they don't | 00:39 |
| Darkenvy | im using nautilus | 00:39 |
| _3vi1 | So... does anyone know why I get the Gnome Panel when I install the daily's in virtual box. Did I miss a memo? Is Unity being passed for this release? | 00:39 |
| viking667 | uh. | 00:39 |
| ac7ss | [clay], yeah, or something in etc/init | 00:39 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: you are in your ubuntu the one that we just made bootable now? | 00:39 |
| [clay] | ac7ss, thing is i don't even see anything in dmesg saying there was a problem | 00:39 |
| viking667 | sorry. I don't use RTL | 00:39 |

| bobmanuk | hachre: the boot DVD wont repair the boot either | 00:39 |
| viking667 | darkenvy: and how are you trying to connnect to the remote host? | 00:40 |
| bobmanuk | i tried | 00:40 |
| Darkenvy | yes | 00:40 |
| Darkenvy | I can get in just fine | 00:40 |
| Darkenvy | see all my dirs inlcuing /home | 00:40 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: you have to go into the recovery options -> open the console and enter bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /fixmbr | 00:40 |
| viking667 | *blink* *blink* | 00:40 |
| bobmanuk | hachre: done that | 00:40 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: then grub will be gone and windows should start | 00:40 |
| Darkenvy | but inside /home does not exist "minecraft" | 00:40 |
| ruan | Darkenvy: ctrl h | 00:40 |
| Darkenvy | it should be located at ~/minecraft | 00:40 |
| bobmanuk | hachre: it says it worked, but when i reboot, no OS | 00:40 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: then i would say your windows boot stuff is severly borked | 00:41 |
| Darkenvy | doesnt help ruan | 00:41 |
| hachre | bobmanuk: maybe thats why it isnt found by grub | 00:41 |
| ruan | Darkenvy: is it in root? | 00:41 |

| hachre | bobmanuk: is the windows important to you? | 00:41 |
| Darkenvy | its also the only account on this server | 00:41 |

| Darkenvy | idk viking667 | 00:47 |
| Darkenvy | I have never has issues sshing before this | 00:47 |
| viking667 | Darkenvy: see if that's an issue. | 00:47 |
| DrGrov | Sorry for off-topic | 00:47 |
| Darkenvy | where is it located? /etc/??? | 00:47 |
| danielcg25 | Xgnokii just says connection. Is something wrong? | 00:47 |
| viking667 | /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 00:47 |
| ruan | yeah. can be opened from ssh as well | 00:47 |
| viking667 | DarkEnvy: and why on EARTH are you running minecraft as the root user? | 00:48 |
| Darkenvy | permitrootlogin = yes | 00:48 |
| fisch246 | i'll take to that as a no... alright i'll wait for a response on the forums then | 00:48 |
| viking667 | surely it doesn't require a port open < 1024? | 00:48 |
| Darkenvy | viking this is irrelevent | 00:48 |
| Darkenvy | its a dedicated server with one purpose >< | 00:48 |
| viking667 | no, it's pretty relevant to your security issues, actually. | 00:48 |
| viking667 | I would have created a minecraft user specifically to use minecraft. | 00:49 |
| Darkenvy | but not relevent to this issue | 00:49 |
| viking667 | that way, you could have sucked the files over without the permitrootuser getting in the way. Currently yours is set so you can suck files over. What path is your minecraft directory, absolutely? (not relatively) | 00:49 |
| Darkenvy | I do ssh root@xxx.com:~/minecraft | 00:50 |
| leapy0yo | how do i configure mplayer's config file ? lavdopt=threads=2 or what? | 00:50 |
| Darkenvy | its /home/minecraft | 00:50 |
| viking667 | darkenvy: that's why it's failing. | 00:50 |
| Darkenvy | a manual folder I created | 00:50 |
| Darkenvy | I have said its location over 5 times already | 00:50 |
| viking667 | your home directory for root user is usually pinned to /root | 00:51 |
| Darkenvy | it... | 00:51 |
| Darkenvy | ...it is? | 00:51 |
| Somelauw | When using urxvt accents only work when mouse is inside the terminal window? | 00:51 |
| viking667 | just because root creates a /home/minecraft doesn't mean that's automatically root's home directory too. | 00:51 |
| markitoxs | why when I do ssh root@server alsamixer it doesnt work? | 00:51 |
| fennucci | is there a limit to how many OS's I can instal and partition on win7 machine | 00:51 |
| snake_ | markitoxs, are you running the openssh-server on your server? | 00:51 |

| Darkenvy | viking667 thanks | 00:56 |

| viking667 | DarkEnvy: that's why I don't NORMALLY work in root. Saves mistakes like yours. | 00:56 |
| Darkenvy | viking667 its this server host that preloads linux, always needed to BE root... blah blah | 00:56 |
| viking667 | there's no reason why you can't set up another user to actually ssh in AS. | 00:57 |
| Darkenvy | I jjsut never made a user, thus now all my backup cron scripts are pointed to root >< | 00:57 |

| Kamakazi | Question of the day, my ubuntu install seems to have a ton of bass when I am watching movies, I have a 2.1 setup and onboard Realtec audio, is there any way to change the bass settigns? | 00:58 |
| viking667 | then that's what I'd strongly advise. If someone has some sort of exploit against minecraft that can make the server dump out to some sort of shell/python/perl executable, you're screwed, in effect. | 00:58 |
| viking667 | if it's running as its own user, it's harder to elevate privileges to root. | 00:59 |
| cipher_ | I have updated info for my question: Hi i am able to ping google successfully and use apt-get; however I cannot connect to any websites :(. I am on ubuntu 10.10. I am able to connect however through a usb card. | 00:59 |
| Darkenvy | I see | 01:00 |
| ac7ss | Kamakazi, try the sound preferances on the volume icon. or look into using amixer to adjust settings. | 01:00 |
| Darkenvy | so.... | 01:01 |
| viking667 | Meanwhile, I think I'll have to kiss my darn VM goodbye... | 01:01 |
| Darkenvy | if the path is ~/minecraft this = /root/minecraft when in root. if im in a user though than is ~/minecraft = /home/minecraft? | 01:01 |
| ruan | /home/user/minecraft | 01:02 |
| viking667 | correct. | 01:02 |
| Darkenvy | that makes my cron scrips easy to port over then | 01:02 |
| viking667 | i.e. whatever user you create could probably be called "minecraft" | 01:02 |
| Darkenvy | how to update cron? Im new to it. just reload my script as the user? or.... | 01:02 |
| Darkenvy | remove the script first then laod under user? | 01:02 |
| viking667 | but then you'd need to be pointing at /home/minecraft/minecraft | 01:02 |

| DrGrov | How can I check in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS if I have the SSH server turned on? | 01:43 |
| DrGrov | I would need to get my SSH set up at home so I can easily access it from on trips | 01:43 |
| Flannel | EmuAlert: the easiest way to do it is to tabcomplete and let bash escape it for you. If you want to do it manually, slashes. | 01:44 |
| folorn | whats the full address to this server ? | 01:44 |
| folorn | is it irc.freenode.net? | 01:45 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: libsqlite0 is the library itself, the package 'sqlite' also contains the command line interface. | 01:45 |
| Flannel | folorn: chat.freenode.net | 01:45 |
| sacker | DrGrov: /etc/init.d/ssh status | 01:45 |
| Logan_ | folorn: yes | 01:45 |
| folorn | so irc or chat works? | 01:46 |
| russjr08 | folorn, yes | 01:46 |
| rww | folorn: correct, as does irc.ubuntu.com and various other aliases. The official one is chat.freenode.net, though. | 01:46 |

| arand | Somelauw: Maybe shift+pgup/dn | 01:48 |
| arand | Somelauw: Otherwise, using a pager, or screen, is convenient | 01:49 |
| starZ | try fn page up and down | 01:49 |
| Somelauw | arand, thanks shift pageUP/Down works | 01:49 |
| starZ | any topic about gdm2 ?? | 01:50 |
| sacker | DrGrov: Then you more then likely dont have openSSH installed | 01:50 |
| Somelauw | Do you also know how to fix that I can type accents when my mouse isn't inside the console window. | 01:50 |
| Flannel | sacker, DrGrov: just "ssh status" is calling the ssh client, trying to connect to "status", not checking the status of the server. | 01:50 |
| sacker | Flannel: Well I told him to type /etc/init.d/ssh status not just ssh status | 01:52 |

My problem is that I connect to my linux computer via tightvnc (video chip burned) and I need to have 2 network connection: wired and wifi. The problem is that when I try to connect to a wireless network it disconnects from the wired network. I used network-manager and wicd | 02:03 |
| induz | is it trial an error way to set standard font?/ | 02:04 |
| arupabhava | induz: my standard is serif size 16. | 02:04 |

| Core | np | 02:15 |
| invisiblek | Koritsa, youll need to install them afterwards | 02:15 |
| cool | oh | 02:15 |
| Koritsa | should i download the new ubuntu (10.10 i think or something) or the 04? | 02:15 |
| DarkStar1 | anyone virtualise ubuntu and know how I can retrieve files from the host OS? | 02:15 |
| cool | ok | 02:15 |
| cool | I go and try it | 02:15 |
| mickster04 | Core: ok so how sure are you that it won't connect to both? | 02:15 |
| invisiblek | Koritsa, probably 10.10 | 02:15 |
| russjr08 | Koritsa, It's recommended to do 10.04 or 10.10 | 02:15 |
| invisiblek | 11.04 will be out next month | 02:16 |
| Koritsa | :} | 02:16 |
| cool | thanks for help | 02:16 |
| Koritsa | so 10.10 or 10.04? | 02:16 |
| invisiblek | err, this month already | 02:16 |
| invisiblek | hmm | 02:16 |
| ssquirrel | it is ? can you upgrade? | 02:16 |
| russjr08 | Koritsa, yes, 11.04 comes out on the 28th | 02:16 |
| izinucs | cool: did it work? | 02:17 |
| Koritsa | lisn, i want a linux dis' that is user friendly and also comes with c++ and java dev tools (editor and compiler, also php, mysql and an http server) is ubuntu is up to it | 02:17 |
| Koritsa | or i'll need to download and install everything from scraps | 02:17 |
| Koritsa | cuz' i remember slack and redhat used to come with everything when i used linux | 02:17 |
| invisiblek | Koritsa, ubuntu is perfect, you just need to install the packages for what you want to do | 02:18 |
| cool | still downloaing | 02:18 |
| Koritsa | but that was years ago | 02:18 |
| izinucs | Koritsa: of course.. sudo tasksel then in the menu choose LAMP for php, mysql and apache .. sudo install build-essential for c++ stuff and other | 02:18 |
| Polah | Ubuntu is up to it | 02:18 |
| invisiblek | ubuntu runs mostly on binaries, so they dont include development stuff by default | 02:18 |
| izinucs | Koritsa: look in synaptic package manager for all the Java stuff | 02:18 |
| hackblood | ^_^ | 02:18 |
| Polah | You might want to grab Sun Java instead of OpenJDK and you'll have to install Apache/MySQL/PHP yourself after installing the system | 02:18 |
| mickster04 | Koritsa: ubuntu is a user system mainly, not a dev suystem, but it is more than capable. | 02:19 |
| === will_ is now known as RealOp | ||
| Koritsa | damn, so that will take hours or it will be easy? is there a pckg system or something like that which make everything shitly easy? | 02:19 |
| izinucs | Koritsa: easy.. how fast is your internet connection? | 02:19 |
| Koritsa | 5mb | 02:20 |
| Somelauw | gcc is default in every distro as a C++ compiler | 02:20 |
| izinucs | Koritsa: you could download and install everyting through synaptic in less than 15 minutes probably | 02:20 |
| Somelauw | For java, you want ubuntu-restricted extras | 02:20 |
| Koritsa | yeah i know. is ubuntu comes with gcc/ | 02:20 |
| Koritsa | ? | 02:20 |
| Koritsa | * | 02:20 |
| RedBallz | Hello! | 02:21 |
| Danielcg25_iPod | • | 02:21 |
| izinucs | Koritsa: build-essential is a meta package containing compilers etc.. | 02:21 |
| RedBallz | Can someone help me please ? | 02:21 |
| izinucs | RedBallz: just ask your question | 02:21 |
| Core | @mickster04 I know because when I connect to a wifi network it says dissconnecting active connections | 02:21 |
| mickster04 | Koritsa: then it'll take you like 15 mins or so, you just have to work out what you need, that can be slightly ctime consuming, but just use synaptics package manager or apt-get interminal | 02:21 |
| Koritsa | i should explain that i dont own an ubuntu right now, and i didnt touch linux for serveral years now | 02:21 |
| linux_is_my_hero | how do i convert pdf to doc? | 02:21 |
| cool | well. I try vlc | 02:21 |
| linux_is_my_hero | *.pdf to *.doc? | 02:21 |
| cool | still no sound | 02:22 |
| Somelauw | Koritsa: Editors and ides depend a lot on personal preference, but there is a lot to choose from. | 02:22 |
| RedBallz | I just installed BlackUbuntu. And my graphics card is not working well, so I downloaded the driver from the webpage. How do i run the extension .run ? | 02:22 |
| Koritsa | i guess theres a app-manager like the android app or something in ubuntu now... yes? | 02:22 |
| linux_is_my_hero | koritsu: ubuntu software center | 02:22 |
| russjr08 | RedBallz, you need to use the Terminal | 02:22 |
| Somelauw | Copy-paste everything from the pdf and put it into a doc. | 02:22 |
| russjr08 | sudo ./filename.run | 02:22 |
| linux_is_my_hero | koritsu: and u can add ppa's and repositories to expand the list of software in the ubuntu software center | 02:22 |
| RedBallz | How can I work with it ? | 02:23 |
| viking667 | Gah. Disconnected, and I wasn't even aware of it. | 02:23 |
| russjr08 | but first you probably need to chmod +x filename.run | 02:23 |
| hachre | I have just installed 11.04 and my USB Audio Headset has got a very low volume, is this a well known problem? Anything I can do? All the sliders are on max already... <- solved by upping the volume via alsamixer.... this bug also existed in 10.10 and 10.04 im gonna report this now | 02:23 |
| Polah | hachre: 11.04 is in Beta. We will/cannot help you. Ask in #ubuntu+1 | 02:23 |
| mickster04 | linux_is_my_hero: uhm no, use open office or some other office program that can read and write to each | 02:24 |
| Koritsa | ok. so what you guys says like thing - i should install ubuntu (i guess the 04 is better... right?) and then run the software center, install all the things i want (php, apache, java, cpp, mysql and my fav prog' editor that can handle all those prog' lang') | 02:24 |
| Koritsa | right/ | 02:24 |
| Koritsa | ? | 02:24 |
| Somelauw | Or ask the creator of the pdf for the source (although there are a lot of tools to create pdf's) | 02:24 |
| hachre | Polah: Yeah, but it also affects 10.10 and 10.04 | 02:24 |
| Polah | hachre: Hardware issue then? | 02:24 |
| hachre | Polah: thanks for the advice though | 02:25 |
| ssquirrel | depends ... I have ubuntu server 10.10 and I installed everything from sources | 02:25 |
| ssquirrel | hehe | 02:25 |
| Koritsa | ... | 02:25 |
| hachre | Polah: its a standard usb audio device | 02:25 |
| ssquirrel | http://shellbox.nvita.org | 02:25 |
| ssquirrel | :) | 02:25 |
| mickster04 | linux_is_my_hero: i would try using open office, then file>save as | 02:25 |
| hachre | Polah: but no worries ill report this as a bug on launchpad in a sec | 02:25 |
| Polah | koritsa: If you're running a webserver you won't (shouldn't) have the GUI and thus no software centre | 02:25 |
| Koritsa | damn lags | 02:25 |
| cool | got to go. | 02:26 |
| Polah | hachre: Doesn't mean it isn't broken. Or your audio hardware for your PC | 02:26 |
| cool | find out later | 02:26 |
| linux_is_my_hero | mickster04: what character set? and what paragraph break? | 02:26 |
| ezy | hello folks, is there a command that gives the model of my graphics card ? | 02:26 |
| bullgard4 | Why does Maverick need a »SQLite shared library« (package libsqlite0) and at the same time a »SQLite 3 shared library« (package libsqlite 3-0)? | 02:26 |
| RedBallz | I just installed BlackUbuntu. And my graphics card is not working well, so I downloaded the driver from the webpage. How do i run the extension .run ? | 02:26 |
| hachre | Polah: it isn't broken. | 02:27 |
| bullgard4 | ezy: lspci | 02:27 |
| Polah | hachre: Does it work on anything before 10.04 or another operating system? | 02:27 |
| hachre | Polah: there are people on ubuntuforums.org with this same issue and posts from early 2010 | 02:27 |
| mickster04 | linux_is_my_hero: uhm what? open office should just be able to open the pdf? | 02:27 |
| viking667 | RedBallz: check it out with a text editor first. | 02:27 |
| hachre | Polah: it works on mac os and windows of course | 02:27 |
| linux_is_my_hero | mickster04: it came out with jibberish. | 02:28 |
| RedBallz | viking667: Already done, and it's a lot of codes | 02:28 |
| Polah | hachre: driver issue with Linux/Ubuntu then most likely | 02:28 |
| hachre | Polah: the only problem is that the alsa volume is set to 1% | 02:28 |
| ezy | thanks bullgard4 | 02:28 |
| hachre | Polah: and all the ui sliders in ubuntu dont handle the alsa volume | 02:28 |
| mickster04 | linux_is_my_hero: have you googled pdf converter? and does it open the file ok? finally, why do you need to ocnvert it? can't you get a copy of the original? | 02:28 |
| viking667 | what does the top part of it say? Is it like a shell script? | 02:28 |
| Koritsa | what's the different betwn ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04? | 02:28 |
| hachre | polah: since many others have usb audio issus with different headsets I would guess it is like that for all usb audio devices | 02:29 |
| mickster04 | Koritsa: one is LTS | 02:29 |
| Polah | hachre: Look for a command to increase volume? | 02:29 |
| hachre | Polah: my original post stated that i have solved this | 02:29 |
| viking667 | 10.04 has support for ... five years? | 02:29 |
| viking667 | (or is it two?) | 02:29 |
| hachre | Polah: I just posted it here because I asked it myself | 02:29 |
| hachre | Polah: and I included the question with the answer, thats all | 02:30 |
| Koritsa | ok, and will 04 will upgrade auto when 11.o4 will comeout next month? | 02:30 |
| sillav | I think I have removed a package that was used by network-manager to show the current connection status. Currently, the icon showed in the notification area is a static icon of a missing icon, regardless of connection status. It still works fine, just looks ugly and isn't as useful. Here is what it looks like: http://tinypic.com/r/2s8ss61/7 | 02:30 |
| trism | bullgard4: sqlite3 introduced a new database format that isn't compatible with the new version, and some apps haven't upgraded | 02:30 |
| sillav | need help figuring out what's broken | 02:30 |
| russjr08 | Koritsa, Update Manager will ask you if you want to update | 02:30 |
| Koritsa | but it will right? | 02:30 |
| russjr08 | If you click Upgrade, yes | 02:31 |
| bullgard4 | trism: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining. | 02:31 |
| Koritsa | and 10.10 wont do it? | 02:31 |
| atari2600a | hey, I need t oknow how to force the recovery console on bootup | 02:31 |
| Polah | Koritsa: Both of them will | 02:31 |
| russjr08 | I think in 10.10 it will to | 02:31 |
| Koritsa | allright | 02:31 |
| Polah | atari2600a, hold shift in boot, then select recovery mode on the GRUB menu | 02:31 |
| atari2600a | I noticed you can do it via gdm now yay | 02:31 |
| Koritsa | sorry for the dumb ques':} | 02:31 |
| RedBallz | viking667: Please help D: | 02:31 |
| atari2600a | Polah: tried that, never seems to work | 02:31 |
| russjr08 | Koritsa, there is no such thing as a dumb question | 02:31 |
| alishah | hi, where can i download COLOR SCHEMES for gedit. I want IDLE's color scheme for gedit. | 02:32 |
| Koritsa | russjr08 :D | 02:32 |
| izinucs | Koritsa: you can't update from 10.04 to 11.04 but you can update from 10.04 the next LTS release | 02:32 |

| bullgard4 | atari2600a: I presume you are using Grub. Grub offers "recovery mode". You may need to press the Shift key when booting up in order to see the "recovery mode" entry. | 02:32 |
| Polah | Koritsa, russjr08, Ubuntu will try to update to the latest version unless you set "Show New Distribution Releases" to Never or "Long term support releases only". LTS releases are set to LTS only by default and you'll need to change it to Normal releases to upgrade to non-LTS | 02:32 |
| russjr08 | izinucs, if you run update-manager -d it will | 02:33 |
| RedBallz | I just installed BlackUbuntu. And my graphics card is not working well, so I downloaded the driver from the webpage. How do i run the extension .run ? | 02:33 |

| Koritsa | wow, linux today is much more friendly than it was when i used to touch it | 02:33 |
| atari2600a | thanks | 02:33 |
| bullgard4 | atari2600a: What do you mean by "again"? | 02:33 |
| Polah | RedBallz, look at the contents with gedit or similar to determine what kind of file it actually is | 02:33 |
| RedBallz | .run file | 02:34 |
| RedBallz | Polah: where I have to look at. | 02:34 |
| Koritsa | is there a way i will reach my ubuntu throught windows so i wont need to restart everytime? | 02:34 |
| DARKGuy | Hey, could anybody help me in setting up a PAN (Personal Area Network) using Bluetooth ("Bluetooth PAN daemon version 4.91") with two computers running 10.10 ? I'm getting Connection Refused (111) and using blueman-applet doesn't work because it says that Network Manager couldn't set up the connection :( | 02:34 |
| Polah | RedBallz: Just open it in gedit, perhaps pastebin part of the contents (unless it's all garble and makes no sense) | 02:34 |
| Polah | koritsa: You could install using WUBI | 02:35 |
| union131 | hello | 02:35 |
| excelsior | hey hey hey | 02:35 |
| union131 | i need some help | 02:35 |
| Polah | !ask | union131 | 02:35 |
| ubottu | union131: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 02:35 |
| bullgard4 | Koritsa: There is. But not to be recommended. | 02:35 |
| union131 | ok sorry, I am experiencing some problems with my network connection | 02:35 |
| excelsior | I thought wubi wasn't recommended | 02:36 |
| union131 | It wont stay connected | 02:36 |
| bullgard4 | ! details | union131 | 02:36 |
| ubottu | union131: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 02:36 |
| excelsior | Besides, doesn't it just run Ubuntu in a virtual machine in Windows? | 02:36 |
| russjr08 | for long term use I don't think it is recommended | 02:36 |
| Polah | excelsior, I wouldn't recommend it, a separate partition is better. | 02:36 |
| RedBallz | Polah: http://pastebin.com/hEaKtkeY | 02:36 |
| russjr08 | I agree with Polah | 02:36 |
| excelsior | Thought so | 02:37 |
| Polah | RedBallz: Yes it's a .sh. change the extension to .sh, mark it as executable and run it | 02:37 |
| adilbenseddik | hi, how can I set automatic login with gdm2 on ubuntu 10.10? | 02:37 |
| WXZ | I deleted a folder on an NTFS drive in lucid, what utility could I use to get it back? | 02:37 |
| excelsior | good night everybody!!! | 02:37 |
| RedBallz | Polah: Mark as exectutable? I am kinda new on this. | 02:37 |
| bullgard4 | adilbenseddik: Not to be recommended for security reasons. | 02:37 |
| Koritsa | is theres a way to reach ubuntu, after installed, from my windows, so i wont need to restart all the time? | 02:38 |
| Polah | WXZ: file recovery for NTFS in Linux isn't well supported. You'd be better using a Windows program for that | 02:38 |
| * adilbenseddik hi, how can I set automatic login with gdm2 on ubuntu 10.10? | 02:38 | |
| WXZ | Polah: but I deleted the file through ubuntu | 02:38 |
| Polah | RedBallz: open up a terminal, navigate to the directory it is in, do "chmod +x <file>.sh", then do "sh <file>.sh" | 02:38 |
| Polah | WXZ: Look in your rubbish bin then? | 02:38 |
| WXZ | Polah: no, it's not there. also, I didn't really delete it, I saved a file over the same location | 02:39 |
| induz | what is a good downloader like Delugde?? | 02:39 |

| * adilbenseddik :( | 02:41 | |
| WXZ | I saved a file in the same location as a folder, how do I get that folder back? | 02:41 |
| Polah | ruan: I know you can use the -c switch to continue a stopped download. Perhaps just stopping it would work and then you can just continue it later. I don't really know though | 02:42 |

| Diamondcite | WXZ: Unless it says something is over written it shoud be there.. how are you accessing it? Filemanager or console? | 02:43 |
| WXZ | Diamondcite: I saved the file as /path/to/folder, and then the folder at /path/to/folder was no longer there | 02:43 |
| union131 | oh | 02:43 |

| Polah | union131, the "don't ask to ask" question? I tripped that for you (: | 02:44 |
| WXZ | Diamondcite: instead, there was a file called "folder" at the location /path/to/ | 02:44 |

| WXZ | Diamondcite: get to what? | 02:45 |
| Diamondcite | WXZ: The said "folder" | 02:45 |
| WXZ | Diamondcite: if you mean my folder, I'm trying to get to it through nautilus | 02:45 |
| Diamondcite | Err.. hrm.. it got over written x.x | 02:46 |
| Diamondcite | The contents did not merge? | 02:46 |
| union131 | Someone help me. Heres the question: I am running on ubuntu 10.10 on my toshiba tecra 8000 1990, i bought a wireless adapter for it and it only connects to wifi for about 30 minutes, can anyone explain why and help me fix this problem? | 02:47 |
| Diamondcite | WXZ: And didn't opera claim it was over writting? | 02:47 |
| WXZ | Diamondcite: no, they didn't merge. and no | 02:47 |
| DARKGuy | Diamondcite, I have no idea, it should, but it doesn't detect the NAP service unless I start PAND on one of the PCs, and when I do, blueman-applet detects the NAP service, but it doesn't connect because it says connection refused | 02:47 |
| WXZ | Diamondcite: folder named "something", save in the same location as the "something" folder, now file in the same location called "something", folder gone | 02:47 |
| DARKGuy | Diamondcite, I've also tried using the NM plugins and the non-NM plugins on blueman-applet, and it's the same result | 02:48 |
| LarsN | does anyone have a link handy for how to install Ubuntu along side Windows 7 on an Intel Matrix Raid (aka FakeRaid) controller? | 02:48 |
| LarsN | I can see the 1.5tb array, but it doesn't detect any existing partitions on the array. | 02:48 |
| Diamondcite | DARKGuy: How odd.. I've managed to share a ubuntu netbook's network with something running arch just fine without network manager.. | 02:49 |
| union131 | Polah could you help me with that question? | 02:49 |
| DARKGuy | Diamondcite, I personally hate NM :P do you know how to do it without it? | 02:49 |
| Diamondcite | DARKGuy: I'm trying to say Blueman-applet it supposed to just work! | 02:49 |
| Diamondcite | DARKGuy: Assuming it's a paired device and is active | 02:49 |
| DARKGuy | Diamondcite, oh, yeah, it should, but I don't know why I get the connection refused error :/ | 02:50 |
| DARKGuy | Diamondcite, they are :S | 02:50 |

| io_error | I have some really stupid noob questions I can't find the answers to because a large number of links on the ubuntu website are giving 404 errors. First is, if I have a "10.04.1" server CD can I install this and just apt-get update; apt-get upgrade? | 02:50 |
| Diamondcite | DARKGuy: I have never heard of pand personally.. it just kinda worked... *researches* | 02:51 |
| van7hu | holla,I'll be an ubuntu developer :) | 02:51 |
| van7hu | but it's hard | 02:51 |
| WXZ | Diamondcite: any ideas? | 02:51 |
| Diamondcite | WXZ: I'm stumped.. NON of my apps (firefox/vuze) ever pulled a stunt like that. | 02:52 |
| LarsN | io_error: without making changes to apt. it'll upgrade you to the latest 10.04.x | 02:52 |
| WXZ | Diamondcite: try opera | 02:52 |
| io_error | LarsN: Thanks. I was wondering why I didn't see a '10.04.2' server CD download. | 02:52 |
| DARKGuy | Diamondcite, lucky you :P | 02:52 |
| van7hu | anyone know a specification for ubuntu like LSB,POSIX or single Unix specification? | 02:52 |
| io_error | ...and the download links are 404! | 02:52 |
| LarsN | io_error: you may need to do: dist-upgrade rather than just upgrade however. | 02:53 |
| io_error | LarsN: Wouldn't that put me on 10.10? | 02:53 |
| LarsN | io_error: only if you change apt to point at the 10.10 sources | 02:53 |
| io_error | Thanks... I have been using centos/RHEL for years now and much of this is new. but with centos near collapse I'm pretty sure I'm going to be winding up switching a lot of servers to ubuntu over the next year or so. | 02:54 |
| LarsN | io_error: I work in a primarily FreeBSD shop. Our "handfull" read 5 or so... CentOS installs are likely to become NetBSD | 02:55 |
| induz | is chrom and mozilla almost the same?? | 02:55 |
| van7hu | induz: no! | 02:55 |

| union131 | FUCK THIS | 02:55 |
| FloodBot3 | union131: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:55 |
| LarsN | induz: in that they both allow you to browse the web, have tabs, and are extendable via plugins... yes. | 02:55 |
| induz | after downloading, lots of addson and others plugs ins I have to select/install chrom | 02:55 |
| io_error | LarsN: haha, I've been using RH since right after they moved out of their garage. | 02:56 |
| LarsN | induz: from a code level, unlikely. | 02:56 |
| DARKGuy | Diamondcite, brb! | 02:56 |
| mickster04 | induz: fundamentally no | 02:56 |
| van7hu | induz: mozilla was belong to google also | 02:56 |
| van7hu | induz: but now,it's not | 02:56 |
| induz | not for coding POV, but as an end user | 02:56 |
| LarsN | van7hu: no, Google used to donate funds to Mozilla. | 02:56 |
| nickor | so i ran that terminal command to look for drive errors | 02:56 |
| nickor | not sure what happened | 02:56 |
| LarsN | van7hu: not the same as being owned by. :) | 02:56 |
| Diamondcite | WXZ: After your experience maybe not =P | 02:57 |
| nickor | but looks like my computer is trying to count to a billion in terminal | 02:57 |

| bazhang | moondog, whats dlna | 03:02 |
| moondog | bazhang: look it up | 03:02 |
| bazhang | moondog, how about telling us here, and how it relates to ubuntu | 03:03 |
| ubuntu | is the clam app i see in synaptic for checking windows partitons under nix? | 03:03 |
| moondog | well, I'd say if you don't even know what DLNA is, then you probably can't help me | 03:04 |
| bazhang | ubuntu, not really, better to use windows stuff for that | 03:04 |
| mickster04 | nickor: i assume if you have that many errors then yes. | 03:04 |
| bazhang | moondog, what does it have to ubuntu, kindly | 03:04 |
| egarff | moondog ps3 media player is DLNA | 03:05 |
| moondog | because DLNA requires a server.. that runs on a computer... which runs an operating system... possibly Ubuntu | 03:05 |
| nickor | ill let it run | 03:05 |

| miketomdool | oh :( | 03:05 |
| egarff | moondog: http://ps3mediaserver.blogspot.com/ | 03:05 |
| nickor | you cant just run netflix from firefox or chrome in a browser? | 03:05 |
| nickor | what about linux would prevent that? | 03:05 |
| miketomdool | no nickor | 03:05 |
| moondog | I don't have a PS3 | 03:05 |
| tensorpudding | i assumed you meant the silverlight streaming | 03:06 |
| io_error | milamber: The page http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download has a dead link to a ubuntu-10.04.1-server-i386.iso.torrent (probably just a typo). | 03:06 |
| egarff | moondog: as I already said, it's dlna | 03:06 |
| miketomdool | we have to have "Microsoft Silverlight" | 03:06 |
| moondog | ok, thank you :) | 03:06 |
| egarff | moondog: it was created to work with ps3, but it's a dlna server | 03:06 |
| tensorpudding | it won't run on moonlight because moonlight won't/can't support the Microsoft DRM that netflix has to use | 03:06 |
| mickster04 | nickor: i think netflix uses silverlight | 03:06 |
| milamber | io_error: yeah - it's been like that for a while. did the link i sent work? | 03:06 |
| moondog | alright egarff: thanks for the link | 03:06 |
| io_error | milamber: and that page from switching from redhat is something i've been looking for for a long time+1000 | 03:06 |
| egarff | moondog: good luck. | 03:06 |
| asdiyanto | hai | 03:06 |

| huddy | hi. with regards to vlc how can ensure that a movie file that open vlc with is opened with the existing instance? rather than opening a new one each time which I find quite pointless. | 03:07 |
| milamber | io_error: excellent | 03:07 |
| dajhorn | nickor: Only a very few grandfathered accounts can get the non-Silverlight stream. | 03:07 |
| huddy | would it be possible? | 03:07 |
| egarff | moondog: btw, a little less attitude goes a long way... "look it up" is crap. | 03:07 |

| egarff | ubottu: ushare is painful to configure. | 03:07 |
| egarff | ahh.. is a bot. | 03:08 |
| moondog | egarff: I agree... but I was asking for help with X... if a person pipes up and doesn't even know what X is, then why are they responding? | 03:08 |
| niles|iPod | Lol | 03:08 |
| egarff | moondog: but if you'd said "It's a media server protocol", who knows, they might have at least had some pointers. | 03:08 |
| moondog | but it was apparent that the responder was only intent on giving me crap thinking my question had nothing to do with Ubuntu | 03:09 |
| moondog | anyway | 03:09 |
| moondog | I appreciate the advice | 03:09 |
| bazhang | moondog, lose the attitude | 03:09 |
| nickor | cheese with whine? | 03:10 |
| moondog | heh | 03:10 |
| nickor | thanks for free help? | 03:10 |

| === niles|iPod is now known as tumbleweed|iPod | ||
| moondog | actually... bazhang... if you really are interested... I wished to run Ubuntu on my desktop machine. After I had it all installed I realized... no iTunes means no streaming music to my Apple TV. | 03:11 |
| egarff | In the word of murphy from sealab 2021... AWAY! | 03:11 |
| moondog | so then I read a little about DLNA | 03:11 |
| nickor | heres a trick if you are impatient, open up 5 or 6 ubuntu chat rooms on multiple servers | 03:11 |
| nickor | i do | 03:11 |
| moondog | thinking perhaps it could take the place of my iTunes/Apple TV setup. | 03:11 |
| nickor | answers come faster that way if ppl are busy | 03:11 |
| LarsN | moondog: there's a server that'll stream ala-itunes. I can't remember the name though | 03:11 |
| moondog | need something to run on Ubuntu | 03:11 |
| LarsN | moondog: one second and I'll look. | 03:11 |
| DaGeek247 | moondog, itunes should work under !playonlinux as it officially supports it. | 03:12 |
| nickor | man i hate itunes | 03:12 |
| moondog | like wine? | 03:12 |
| moondog | yeah, I hate vendor lock-in... other than that I like iTunes ok | 03:13 |
| DaGeek247 | ish. playonlinux uses wine but wine doesnnt officially support itunes. | 03:13 |
| nickor | i am used to using rockbox and drag and drop | 03:13 |
| moondog | I see, ok | 03:13 |
| nickor | so much easier | 03:13 |
| LarsN | moondog: the apple-tv functionality. is it more like an airport express.. or more like an iTunes client (ala another laptop/desktop) | 03:13 |
| moondog | I believe the Apple TV uses what they now call AirPlay... for all practical purposes just like the airport express I think | 03:14 |

| 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 | 03:28 |
| alairock | I understand beta being less stable than the RC's or finals, but it's newer than 10.10, so I might assume it's more stable than 10.10 | 03:28 |

| sacarlson | sianetradio: you can't just copy the iso file onto the usb disk you need to use the installer application that puts the iso on the flash drive to make it bootable | 04:27 |
| sianetradio | yes | 04:27 |

| sianetradio | as far as I know | 04:28 |
| nickor | yes you have to use the installer to create a proper bootable usb | 04:28 |
| nickor | did you do that? | 04:28 |
| sianetradio | sacarlson where do I get an installer aplication? | 04:28 |
| nickor | on the ubuntu site | 04:28 |
| sianetradio | OH....yes, that's what I need | 04:28 |

| mickster04 | Koritsa: sudo su to become root user, but why not just do sudo <<command>> | 04:34 |
| io_error | Koritsa: root is disabled by default, so if you haven't set a root password then 'su' won't work. Use 'sudo passwd' to set a root password and enable the root account. | 04:34 |
| mltdwn | @bc81 Search google for a package called caffeine, it disables the screensaver when watching flash videos | 04:34 |
| Danielcg25_iPod | Koritsa: Don't su root, its impossible | 04:34 |

| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

| mickster04 | mltdwn: well read -_- | 04:37 |

| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there a good channel to chat about writing scripts? | 04:55 |
| dsnyders | I want to write a script that, when called, plays the next mp3 file in sequence. | 04:55 |
| edbian | dsnyders: So you call it and it plays the first song. Then when that song ends it stops? | 04:55 |
| dsnyders | edbian, Yes, Then when I call it again it plays the next file. | 04:55 |
| edbian | dsnyders: What if you call it before the first song has finished playing? | 04:55 |
| edbian | dsnyders: You want it to play both of them at once or... ? | 04:55 |
| dsnyders | edbian, I wouldn't do that. These are radio dramas. | 04:55 |
| edbian | dsnyders: ok. I have no idea what a radio drama is. Seems to me that it would be easiest to just load all the files into brasero or totem. Is that not an option? | 04:55 |
| bc81 | mltdwn, nickor: thanks, caffeine works perfectly. | 04:55 |
| dsnyders | edbian, A radio drama is exactly what you think it is... a story played on the radio; like the Lone Ranger, or Buck Rogers. In this case, it is the CBS Radio mystery theatre. | 04:55 |
| edbian | dsnyders: sure. Why don't you load them up in totem? | 04:55 |
| dsnyders | edbian, totem would play them one after the other without stopping, no? | 04:55 |
| edbian | dsnyders: You want it to stop each time until you do something? | 04:55 |

| fennucci | I do web design/dev | 05:15 |
| mickster04 | fennucci: depends how much stuff you wanna install, i fyou wanna save your music etc into ubuintu as well (not neccesary, ubuntu can read windows partitions) | 05:15 |
| arand | fennucci: Rule of thumb 20G for the operating system and all applications | 05:15 |
| fennucci | and I'm really familiar with adobes suite | 05:15 |

| fennucci | it can mickster04 ? | 05:15 |
| mickster04 | fennucci: yeah, so maybe 20-40 Gb for ubuntu | 05:15 |
| htat | gimp is pretty much a photoshop clone >_> | 05:15 |

| fennucci | why does it ask me to run as root immediatly after loggin in? | 05:17 |

| fennucci | no but I want to | 05:18 |
| mickster04 | fennucci: describe the exact message? | 05:18 |

| ohelig | It was a pretty large update that day, so it could have been anything | 05:25 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fennucci, I was gone a while, so I might be unclear. are you just trying to shutdown? | 05:25 |
| mickster04 | Seven_Six_Two: yes he is | 05:25 |
| ohelig | anyways, i'm off to bed | 05:25 |
| mickster04 | fennucci: if you haven't installed it, just hard power down | 05:25 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mickster04, but he's not able to sudo? | 05:25 |
| danileigh79 | ohelig: good night | 05:25 |
| mickster04 | Seven_Six_Two: evidently | 05:25 |
| mickster04 | ohelig: but it's only half 4 :p | 05:25 |
| danileigh79 | Seven_Six_Two: says user not in sudoers file | 05:26 |
| fennucci | ok | 05:26 |
| ohelig | It's 11:30 pm | 05:26 |
| arand | Seven_Six_Two: It's backtrack, anyways. | 05:26 |
| ohelig | :| | 05:26 |
| mickster04 | ohelig: monday afternoon for me :p | 05:26 |
| ohelig | australia? | 05:26 |
| danileigh79 | mickster04: hlf past midnight here, east coast us | 05:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | BT4 doesn't use sudo. He's likely root already | 05:26 |
| tucemiux | its 12:26am o_O | 05:26 |
| mickster04 | ohelig: NZ :D | 05:26 |
| arand | ...This is the reason you ask backtrack people about backtrack stuff | 05:26 |
| ohelig | close enough :S | 05:26 |
| mickster04 | ohelig: oooh no you di'nt :p | 05:26 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: u using backtrack?? | 05:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fennucci, do you have a $ or a # for your prompt? | 05:27 |
| mickster04 | ohelig: well i'm actually a pom but most kiwis hate being compared to Aus :p | 05:27 |
| jason_562 | something's wrong here | 05:27 |
| fennucci | i just hard powered down | 05:27 |
| fennucci | I hope I didnt break anything | 05:27 |
| danileigh79 | ohelig: u asking for it, nzer's hate being associated with australia | 05:27 |
| fennucci | it wasnt installed | 05:27 |
| mickster04 | fennucci: just hard shutdown if you haven't installed backrtack, it's not gonna have written anything to the HDd anyway | 05:27 |
| ohelig | lol, sorry | 05:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fennucci, just live, or live with usb? | 05:27 |
| jason_562 | if the sudo says that the user is not available then it's another big deal | 05:28 |
| fennucci | live usb? | 05:28 |

| fennucci | ok tho, I'm going to try dual booting | 05:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | mickster04, some of the options at boot allow for storage | 05:28 |
| dsnyders | fennucci, live usually means cd-rom. This means you won't be able to save. Most live-cd distros now allow you to save stuff on USB. | 05:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fennucci, it's the lower options when you boot BT4. the "persistent" live options do use storage. so whether something went wrong depends on whether you used those and were in the middle of doing something when you powered off. | 05:29 |
| fennucci | oo ok | 05:29 |
| jan247 | hi guys, how do i find out my ram speed and type (ddr2/3) from the command line? lshw and dmidecode both report it as unknown.. | 05:30 |
| fennucci | so yeah was just booting from USB, no cd involved, it allowed me to create an accnt tho, does tha tmean its writing to my hd? | 05:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fennucci, no, it would write to usb. | 05:30 |
| Diamondcite | jan247: If you have an OEM system you can look it from from manufacturers? | 05:30 |
| fennucci | oo ok | 05:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fennucci, but those files could have been open, and could become corrupt. | 05:31 |
| jan247 | Diamondcite: nothing from the command line might help me here? | 05:31 |
| Diamondcite | jan247: Well dmidecode is already going quite far... I guess you can try memtest86+ | 05:31 |
| fennucci | well worse comes to worse, I can just reformat and remake my usb right? | 05:31 |
| jan247 | i see. thanks anyway Diamondcite | 05:32 |
| Diamondcite | jan247: That is a boot time memory checker, should help a little. | 05:32 |
| === doja is now known as FennucciTWO | ||
| jan247 | yep, i was hoping to avoid the restart :) | 05:32 |
| FennucciTWO | ok | 05:32 |
| jan247 | was just lazy. haha | 05:32 |
| FennucciTWO | im wondering which laptop to tryt this on | 05:32 |
| FennucciTWO | hp or toshiba | 05:32 |
| Diamondcite | jan247: Err hrm.. As I said.. do you have an OEM system? | 05:32 |
| mickster04 | fennucci: try both, you don't have to install to try it :p | 05:33 |
| mickster04 | FennucciTWO: are you both of these guys? | 05:33 |
| FennucciTWO | yeah | 05:33 |
| jason_562 | hahhaha | 05:33 |
| FennucciTWO | well I've tried it , I like it | 05:33 |
| Diamondcite | jan247: If you have a brandname system, sites like crucial.com which sells ram, has a way for you to look it up. | 05:33 |
| FennucciTWO | I have an hp g60 and a toshiba a505 | 05:33 |
| mickster04 | FennucciTWO: you shouldprolly remove one... | 05:34 |
| FennucciTWO | I'm assuming one of these will go offline as I try to instal it , I need constant support | 05:34 |
| FennucciTWO | :P | 05:34 |
| FennucciTWO | ok | 05:34 |
| jan247 | Diamondcite: yep. oem. but hey, i'll just do a reboot. it's just a desktop anyway | 05:34 |
| dhodgkin | I used tasksel to switch from xubuntu back to ubuntu desktop.. tasksel removed everything aside from base server.. I did a fresh install of Maverick but now I have absolutely no window manager. I have search this online and the answer is always run 'metacity --replace &' which works until the term is closed. anyone know how I can fix this? | 05:34 |
| FennucciTWO | do I need more ram and such? for a dual boot? | 05:34 |
| mickster04 | FennucciTWO: you use ram for one OS at a time | 05:34 |
| mickster04 | :p | 05:35 |
| FennucciTWO | should I use the computer with lots of ram and HD space? is there much chance of things going bad? Corruption and what have you? all my stuff is backed up but I'm just wondering | 05:35 |
| FennucciTWO | right, so I guess ubuntu doesnt require tons of resources like windows | 05:35 |
| mickster04 | FennucciTWO: edfinitely not | 05:35 |
| mickster04 | !requirements | 05:35 |
| ubottu | Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu | 05:35 |
| FennucciTWO | maybe I'll use my slower laptop to indulge | 05:35 |
| danileigh79 | Diamondcite: can't free scan on crucial through linux, it dl's an exe now | 05:35 |
| FennucciTWO | Do I need to shrink my windows partition? | 05:36 |
| FennucciTWO | idk if I'm reading the right guide, this one seems to be making me do all sorts of silly things | 05:36 |
| danileigh79 | FennucciTWO: I actually created a secondary partition cuz linux can still access my win files | 05:36 |

| arand | FennucciTWO: Just start the installer it will do everything automatically for you | 05:37 |
| FennucciTWO | really? including the partitioning? | 05:37 |
| mickster04 | FennucciTWO: usually | 05:37 |
| arand | FennucciTWO: Yes | 05:38 |
| FennucciTWO | i like this | 05:38 |
| FennucciTWO | ok | 05:38 |
| danileigh79 | FennucciTWO: yes, I keep all my reg win files on sda1, ubuntu on sda5, and I can still access my win files (music, vids, etc) | 05:38 |
| fennucci | ok here goes | 05:38 |

| danileigh79 | fennucci: i'm smooth and sexy too lmao | 05:39 |

| Fudge | anyone know in gnome preferably a gtk app how to using one soundcard send voice outptut to headphones and music to rear jack for ext speakers? | 05:40 |
| danileigh79 | mickster04: oh come on it wasn't that bad lol | 05:40 |
| mickster04 | danileigh79: i dunno how bad things could have gotten tho...and no one wants to imagine that :p | 05:41 |
| izinucs | Fudge: pavucontrol should let you do that | 05:41 |
| danileigh79 | Fudge: No, but now that you mention it, that would be nice lol | 05:41 |
| danileigh79 | mickster04: I'm a good girl *grins* | 05:41 |
| danileigh79 | izinucs: can that work on lappys too? | 05:42 |
| izinucs | danileigh79: probably.. you have to have the streams going first before adjusting. | 05:42 |
| Technicus | Hello, I am unsure which Nvidia driver is necessary for a HP Pavilion S7600N. How do I figure this out? | 05:43 |
| mickster04 | "the internet, where the men are men, the women are men, and the kids are fbi agents" | 05:43 |
| mickster04 | Technicus: if you go to hardware drivers it recommends one for you | 05:43 |
| danileigh79 | izinucs: what i mean is since lappy on has one jack, can i plug in mic/headset into jacks and still have sound come out of speakers or will the speakers be overridden by jacks | 05:44 |
| Technicus | mickster04: It does not recommend one. | 05:44 |
| mickster04 | Technicus: at all? does it even list one? | 05:44 |
| danileigh79 | Technicus: do ou see drivers at all for nvidia on hardware drivers screen? | 05:44 |
| Technicus | mickster04: I lists none. | 05:44 |
| izinucs | danileigh79: actual plugs? I'm not sure.. worth trying. works with my usb headset | 05:45 |
| mickster04 | Technicus: have you restarted since you installed? | 05:45 |
| Fudge | ill try it izinucs | 05:45 |
| danileigh79 | izinucs: yeah I have an old boom set | 05:45 |
| Technicus | mickster04: Yes, fresh install. | 05:45 |
| fennucci | ok mickster04 | 05:45 |
| fennucci | im on step 4 | 05:45 |
| danileigh79 | mickster04: don't you have to unlcok keyring to see hardware drivers? | 05:46 |
| fennucci | its asking me, Install Side by Side choosing between each startup, Erase disk and use entire disk, Specify partitions manually(advanced) | 05:46 |
| fennucci | obviously I dont want option 2 | 05:46 |
| danileigh79 | fwnn side by side in my opinion | 05:46 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: side by side in my opinion | 05:46 |
| fennucci | right but how much space will it partition? | 05:46 |
| mickster04 | Technicus: well restart then do update/upgrade with synaptics package manager, then see again if thereis nothing listed | 05:47 |
| Technicus | What is a command to querry the video hardware. | 05:47 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: u set it | 05:47 |
| fennucci | thats the third option | 05:47 |
| izinucs | Technicus: lspci | 05:47 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: no do side by side, then it'll ask u how much to set | 05:47 |
| itsnotabigtruck | hey | 05:48 |
| itsnotabigtruck | anyone know the best way to work around this bug > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/435906 | 05:48 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 435906 in linux (Ubuntu) "need to turn off extra "Switchable graphics" GPU" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 05:48 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: for an 80gb hd I set win 70 lix 10gb | 05:48 |
| fennucci | are you sure? | 05:48 |
| fennucci | cause the third option has a slider bar | 05:48 |
| FrozenFire | I have a LUKS-encrypted drive with a single ext4 partition inside, which I have the password for in my keyring. Each time I log in, I have to select it from the Places menu to mount it. Is there a simple way to configure my system to auto-mount that drive? | 05:48 |
| fennucci | and it shows | 05:48 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: that's only to manage existing partitions, you don't have any | 05:48 |
| fennucci | o | 05:48 |
| fennucci | but it shows a ubuntu partition | 05:48 |
| fennucci | hrmpf | 05:48 |
| fennucci | ok | 05:48 |
| itsnotabigtruck | i.e. the best way to invoke (echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch) sometime during startup, in order to avoid battery drain from turning on both gpus | 05:49 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: do side by side, choosing between them at start up, it will then ask you how much to set for linux | 05:49 |
| Technicus | izinucs: How can I get more specific? | 05:49 |
| === ruan_ is now known as ruan | ||
| izinucs | Technicus: sudo lshw | 05:49 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: trust me, I have just done it to 3 computers in the last 2 days | 05:50 |
| fennucci | now after having done the first option it prompts with a thing saying Before you can select a new partition size, any previous changes need to be written to disck, please note that the resize operation may take a long time | 05:50 |
| fennucci | ok | 05:50 |
| fennucci | so continue? | 05:50 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: yes | 05:50 |
| ruan | yes, i've partitioned my ntfs drive recently. was a success | 05:50 |
| fennucci | resizing partition... please wait ... | 05:50 |
| ruan | resized my partition at that | 05:51 |
| danileigh79 | ruan: i did the gparted, gave ubuntu 2 extra gigs | 05:51 |
| ruan | i gave my ntfs partition 99.999% of the drive instead of 99.99% | 05:51 |
| danileigh79 | ruan: scares the crap outta me | 05:51 |
| fennucci | how long will this take danileigh79 | 05:51 |
| ruan | depends on the size | 05:51 |
| danileigh79 | ruan: I had linux part at 8gb, gave it an extra 2gb | 05:51 |
| ruan | danileigh79: i had ntfs partition, gave it 10mb of unallocated space that windows didnt give | 05:52 |
| Technicus | izinucs: How can I get more specific with regards to finding out what the video card is? | 05:52 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: if you type danileigh79: I'll see it more clearly or just tyype danil then hit tab | 05:52 |
| ruan | in irssi, just hit the letter d | 05:52 |
| ruan | then tab | 05:52 |
| danileigh79 | ruan: i'm running low on space on sda1, didn't wanna take too much | 05:53 |
| itsnotabigtruck | anyone got any ideas? ^^^ basically i'm just asking about the best way to run a command (writing to a sysfs file) during boot time | 05:53 |
| izinucs | Technicus: either command will/should give you exactly what it is.. nvidia <model #>, ATI, Intel etc.. what else are you looking for? | 05:53 |
| danileigh79 | ruan: I don't think he's using irssi | 05:53 |
| itsnotabigtruck | i can think of a few ways to do it but not sure what the proper solution is | 05:53 |
| ruan | danileigh79: unlikely but im just saying | 05:53 |
| Rehan | anyone good with statistical math analysis around here? | 05:53 |
| ruan | i used irssi in my first week of ubuntu | 05:53 |
| danileigh79 | ruan: lmao | 05:53 |
| Technicus | izinucs: Trying to find out what the Nvidia card is so that I can figure out what driver to use. | 05:54 |
| danileigh79 | Rehan: huh?? | 05:54 |
| izinucs | Technicus: it will be in one of those lists. | 05:54 |
| mickster04 | !who | 05:54 |
| 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 :) | 05:54 |
| Rehan | danileigh79: just wondering...need some help with a problem and figured i'd ask | 05:54 |
| izinucs | Technicus: you should also have a driver waiting to activate in System>Admin>Hardware Drivers .. | 05:54 |
| Technicus | izinucs: Cool, I'll figure this out . . . thanks :) | 05:54 |
| danileigh79 | Rehan: homework?? wrong channel, this is for ubuntu questions | 05:55 |
| itsnotabigtruck | Technicus: there ought to be the name of the card in the output from lspci | 05:55 |
| itsnotabigtruck | (not sure if they had you do that already) | 05:55 |
| Technicus | izinucs: Sadly it does not show drivers in the list. | 05:55 |
| itsnotabigtruck | if it's non-ancient then the nvidia driver should do the trick | 05:55 |
| Rehan | danileigh79: not homework, but oh well | 05:55 |
| Technicus | I will look throught the lspci more closely. | 05:55 |
| itsnotabigtruck | just look for anything with nvidia in the name | 05:55 |
| izinucs | Technicus: then you need to do your updates.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:55 |
| danileigh79 | Rehan: sorry, my math skills are limited after geometry and a lil bit of calc | 05:56 |
| itsnotabigtruck | it ought to say something like "nvidia geforce 4 series" | 05:56 |
| danileigh79 | itsnotabigtruck: Technicus is in hardware drivers and nothing is showing up at all | 05:56 |
| Technicus | danileigh79: Yes that I what I have been saying. | 05:56 |
| danileigh79 | Technicus: i know, that's why i was letting him know | 05:57 |
| itsnotabigtruck | danileigh79: well, it's possible that the driver manager app doesn't know what's up, it's not too difficult to install it manually | 05:57 |
| Technicus | izinucs: I am not familiar with dist-upgrade. | 05:57 |
| colin_ | Hey I installed Ubuntu 10.1 and when I restarted all it shows me is a command prompt grub rescue> when i boot | 05:57 |
| itsnotabigtruck | the question is whether it's appropriate | 05:57 |
| izinucs | !dist-upgrade | Technicus | 05:57 |
| ubottu | Technicus: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. | 05:57 |
| danileigh79 | itsnotabigtruck: that's what a few of us were trying to get him to do, but he doen't know which model of vid card | 05:58 |
| itsnotabigtruck | Technicus: can't you just lspci in the terminal, then select everything and copypaste into this: http://pastie.org/ ? | 05:58 |
| itsnotabigtruck | alternatively do lspci > file.txt, then open file.txt in your home directory | 05:59 |
| fennucci | danileigh79, how long will resizing take? | 05:59 |
| ruan | just curious, but why does it show "translations for language English" in the update manager? | 05:59 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: could take a while depending on how much you set | 05:59 |
| fennucci | it didnt ask for me to set anything yet | 05:59 |
| fennucci | heh | 05:59 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: I set 10gb and it took near an hour | 05:59 |
| fennucci | ok its asking for username | 05:59 |
| fennucci | it never asked me to set anything | 05:59 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: creat it | 05:59 |
| itsnotabigtruck | ruan: probably because a lot of apps just consider english to be another language | 05:59 |
| ruan | right, but this is firefox | 05:59 |
| danileigh79 | ruan: cuz firefox sucks lmao | 06:00 |
| itsnotabigtruck | isn't there a localization package for english for firefox? | 06:00 |
| itsnotabigtruck | that would be it | 06:00 |
| itsnotabigtruck | Technicus: any luck? | 06:00 |

| ruan | yeah it just sounds wierd | 06:00 |
| itsnotabigtruck | i just set up a dual-boot with 11.04 earlier today and i'm kinda disappointed with firefox 4's appearance on linux | 06:00 |
| fennucci | ok danileigh79 if I import music and stuff, will it actually copy it over? having dupes? | 06:01 |
| itsnotabigtruck | in fact fx 4 only seems to look proper on windows | 06:01 |
| ruan | itsnotabigtruck: i changed the gui before i could use it | 06:01 |
| ruan | can't use it with the default gui | 06:01 |
| danileigh79 | don't import anything, you can access it from Places>(size)FileSystem | 06:01 |
| fennucci | o | 06:01 |
| === sarjuva_ is now known as sarjuva | ||
| fennucci | ok | 06:01 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: don't import anything, you can access it from Places>(size)FileSystem | 06:01 |
| fennucci | what about firefox? | 06:01 |
| fennucci | will it import my bookmarks and what not | 06:01 |
| ruan | yes | 06:01 |
| itsnotabigtruck | fennucci: just put your music in the music directory | 06:01 |
| fennucci | ok then dont worry bout it? | 06:01 |
| itsnotabigtruck | duplicate songs might be an issue | 06:01 |
| itsnotabigtruck | it probably can't magically tell what's a "duplicate" | 06:02 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: if u want it too, but only if u were using firefox before | 06:02 |
| fennucci | but im just wondering if it copies it over, or if it shares the files | 06:02 |
| fennucci | yeah I was | 06:02 |
| tucemiux | if you want firefox 4 you can probably install it manually? | 06:02 |
| Lewoco | I installed a commerical program using their setup program and it created an entry in my start menu. I've since removed the program but the start menu entry is still there. How do I remove it? | 06:02 |
| itsnotabigtruck | i'm not sure what import feature you're talking about | 06:02 |
| fennucci | do I want to instal a bootloader? | 06:02 |
| itsnotabigtruck | Lewoco: i think there's a menu editor under settings | 06:02 |
| itsnotabigtruck | go and find the entry and nuke it | 06:02 |
| fennucci | what baout http proxy? | 06:02 |
| itsnotabigtruck | fennucci: well, you already have a bootloader | 06:03 |
| fennucci | right | 06:03 |
| danileigh79 | itsnotabigtruck: i was gonna tell him just to create a shortcut so he doesn't have dup copies of music | 06:03 |
| fennucci | anyone have a solid proxy server to use? | 06:03 |
| Lewoco | itsnotabigtruck, I tried the menu editor but strangely this particular entry doesn't appear in it. | 06:03 |
| Sik | So, I've downloaded the Minimal CD ISO, and I want to put it on a LiveUSB using usb-creator-gtk... but then I click "other", select the ISO, and then nothing happens. And if I use --img, it still insists that the USB isn't big enough (even though the Minimal CD ISO is less than 13MB). Help? | 06:03 |
| itsnotabigtruck | also ruan: what gui is that? | 06:03 |
| danileigh79 | fennucci: why proxy? | 06:03 |
| fennucci | idk just wondering | 06:03 |
| fennucci | but it still hasnt asked me how much I want to partition danileigh79 | 06:03 |
| itsnotabigtruck | fennucci: ehh, proxy servers aren't worth bothering with | 06:03 |
| meltingpot | fennucci, i use nginx. very easy to configure. very fast | 06:03 |
| itsnotabigtruck | also most of them pass your ip on to the server | 06:03 |
| fennucci | I'm on the final step, before I instal | 06:03 |
| itsnotabigtruck | be advisedof that | 06:03 |

| danileigh79 | Sik: using wubi? or pendrivelinux? | 06:04 |
| itsnotabigtruck | so they don't actually work terribly well to hide your address | 06:04 |
| fennucci | right | 06:04 |
| fennucci | I use Tor if I want to do something anon style | 06:04 |
| itsnotabigtruck | well, if you don't care about anonymity there really isn't much of a reason to use a proxy then, is there :p | 06:04 |
| meltingpot | fennucci, nm, i was thinking somethign else. | 06:04 |
| Sik | danileigh79: using the usb-creator-gtk that comes in the LiveCD :/ The CD drive isn't stable enough for the Ubuntu installer so I'm trying to install from USB instead | 06:04 |
| itsnotabigtruck | unless it's your only option, but then it's not under your control | 06:04 |
| danileigh79 | pendrivelinux can create one | 06:05 |
| meltingpot | my head is still in web development land. | 06:05 |
| danileigh79 | Sik: pendrivelinux can create one | 06:05 |
| fennucci | it says int he summary, danileigh79 that The following partitions are going to be formatted: partition $5 of SCSI1(0,0,0) as ext4 partition $6 of SCSI1(0,0,0) as swap | 06:05 |

| FrozenFire | Attempt #2: I have a LUKS-encrypted drive with a single ext4 partition inside, which I have the password for in my keyring. Each time I log in, I have to select it from the Places menu to mount it. Is there a simple way to configure my system to auto-mount that drive? | 06:06 |
| danileigh79 | Sik: pendrivelinux creates a live usb, works he same as CD | 06:06 |
| itsnotabigtruck | that should be compatible with the latest nvidia driver | 06:06 |
| danileigh79 | Technicus: GeForce 6150 LE | 06:06 |
| Sik | danileigh79: I mean the program itself, not the LiveUSB :/ This LiveCD is the only bootable thing I have right now | 06:07 |
| izinucs | !fstab | FrozenFire | 06:07 |
| ubottu | FrozenFire: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 06:07 |
| itsnotabigtruck | do sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 06:07 |
| FrozenFire | izinucs: That's for on-boot mounts. | 06:07 |

| FrozenFire | What does Nautilus invoke to mount a drive? | 06:08 |
| itsnotabigtruck | anyone know the best way to run a command during boot, to write a value to a sysfs file | 06:08 |
| Technicus | danileigh79: That is awesome, how do you decipuer that out of all that? | 06:08 |
| itsnotabigtruck | (just repeating since i don't think anyone saw it) | 06:08 |
| izinucs | FrozenFire: the mount command | 06:08 |
| Sik | danileigh79: like I said, I tried using usb-creator-gtk, but for some reason it refuses to use the ISO >_< (and is it me or the pendrivelinux boot creator runs only on Windows?) | 06:08 |
| itsnotabigtruck | Technicus: just look through the output for "geforce" | 06:08 |
| izinucs | !mount | 06:08 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 06:08 |
| itsnotabigtruck | nvidia's line of graphics hardware is called geforce | 06:08 |
| FrozenFire | izinucs: Apparently it's a bit more than that, since it's somehow pulling the password from the keyring. | 06:08 |
| danileigh79 | FrozenFire: try this http://johnny.chadda.se/article/unlock-the-gnome-keyring-upon-login/ | 06:08 |
| aju | anyone can help me | 06:09 |
| Sik | Just ask? | 06:09 |
| fennucci | anyone? | 06:09 |
| itsnotabigtruck | also nautilus auto-mounting is probably dark magic | 06:09 |

| danileigh79 | Sik: I'm sorry, was doing a milliion and one things, lemme read what you said again | 06:10 |
| ruan | i've got a 6150se and it's got drivers | 06:10 |
| itsnotabigtruck | Sik: well, most people trying to make a linux boot stick are starting with windows | 06:10 |
| itsnotabigtruck | i think it might be possible to dd the iso image directly onto a usb drive | 06:11 |
| Sik | itsnotabigtruck: I need something I can run from an Ubuntu LiveCD to make the bootable USB :/ | 06:11 |
| ruan | dd? | 06:11 |
| danileigh79 | itsnotabigtruck: Sik says cannot install from live cd, and can only boot pc from live cd | 06:11 |
| Sik | danileigh79: yeah, the installer eventually fails at some point | 06:11 |
| ruan | Sik: what about an alternative cd | 06:12 |
| ruan | !alternative | 06:12 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 06:12 |
| itsnotabigtruck | ruan: why not dd? | 06:12 |
| danileigh79 | Sik: mine on my server machine did too, just kept trying :( | 06:12 |
| userdel | I have a usb drive - fat32 - where folder access is RW and File Access is nill. when i mount it locally i can create/delete files in it but when i remount it the space used is shown but again no file access!!! how do i change file access ? | 06:12 |
| Sik | ruan: I'm trying to make a LiveUSB out of the minimal CD | 06:12 |
| ruan | right, l | 06:12 |
| ruan | ^k* | 06:12 |
| danileigh79 | FrozenFire: did yo utry that site I sent you too? | 06:12 |
| Sik | danileigh79: tried like 10 times by now, and got partition table corruption several times already because it never finishes the install properly :| The fact it won't even give me the option to retry doesn't help either. | 06:12 |
| FrozenFire | danileigh79: The problem isn't the keyring, it's getting the particular disk to mount on login. | 06:13 |
| FrozenFire | I don't want to enable auto-mounting entirely, I just want that one disk. | 06:13 |
| FrozenFire | If I can determine what Nautilus does to mount it, I can script that and include it in my startup applications. | 06:13 |
| danileigh79 | FrozenFire: good luck, i've been looking for weeks | 06:13 |
| itsnotabigtruck | userdel: how are you mounting it | 06:13 |
| danileigh79 | afk smoke break | 06:14 |
| Sik | ...bus error! :| Now I'll have to reboot if I want to start a new process. Great (this is what I meant with the LiveCD not working properly, eventually Ubuntu will refuse to read from the CD) | 06:15 |

| FrozenFire | danileigh79: Actually, I'm just about to figure out how to do it. | 06:18 |
| FrozenFire | I'm inspecting Nautilus' dbus calls, which'll give me information on what to call to get it to mount the device. | 06:18 |
| danileigh79 | FrozenFire: lmo ok, good luck, brb if u need anything you can pm me | 06:18 |
| itsnotabigtruck | Sik: can't you go to another comp and produce the usb from there | 06:18 |
| itsnotabigtruck | clearly the comp you're on has issues, maybe a fubar cd drive | 06:19 |
| Sik | itsnotabigtruck: and half a motherboard dead, but I don't have money :P | 06:19 |

| itsnotabigtruck | mltdwn: he's already got it | 06:32 |
| itsnotabigtruck | it comes with ubuntu | 06:33 |
| itsnotabigtruck | ceo: like i said, go through the menu | 06:33 |
| danileigh79 | fenn go to system>administration>hardware drivers make sure you wifi card has the driver installed | 06:33 |
| itsnotabigtruck | it's under office i think | 06:33 |
| mltdwn | well it depends on what version | 06:33 |

| itsnotabigtruck | nm, i was looking at the wrong file (/etc/init.d/rc.local) which isn't meant to be edited, rc.local looks less scary | 06:44 |

| yagoo | danileigh79, well they can leave here becuase i'm not entertained | 06:46 |
| milamber | fds2: if you are extracting to the same folder you can omit the second part of the command, so: tar -xvf /media/general/homebackup.tar | 06:46 |

| LinuxFetus | Hey I have an easy (I think) general question about Ubuntu Studio. I asked in there and didn't get a response, so I'd thought I'd ask in here. When I go to the download page, all of the files say "alternate." Is that normal? Thanks! | 06:48 |
| * ruan prefers Openoffice over ms office | 06:48 | |
| xqvp43 | not tried yet. just learned from articles. I do not think it is necessary using ms office under ubuntu.. | 06:48 |
| ruan | LinuxFetus: yes | 06:48 |
| kevdog | next topic?? | 06:48 |
| itsnotabigtruck | LinuxFetus: hmm. well, the alternate installer lets you do a regular ubuntu install | 06:48 |
| itsnotabigtruck | it's just not quite as pretty | 06:49 |

| === Danielcg25_iPod is now known as wtf | ||
| ayecee | localhost: this happens only when you run ifconfig? | 06:51 |
| milamber | fds2: you are trying to extract files to a directory that doesn't exist. you have to switch to /media and then do a mkdir general; however i wouldn't do that as the /media/ directory is designed for just that - physical media. backing up to the same hard drive doesn't make much sense if that's what you are trying to do. | 06:51 |
| ceo | gslack, you link nice, but that slove my proble to... | 06:51 |
| danileigh79 | ceo: then if it doesn't work, it doesn't work | 06:52 |

| ceo | danileigh79, what you mean, am have install the ms office on my windows at home, that can istall it and good | 06:52 |
| danileigh79 | ceo, if it doesn't work in wine, then you cannot install it on linux | 06:52 |

| bonjoyee | DaPenguin: inside your home folder | 07:12 |
| ruan | toad_: the command line itself is also a dictionary, if you use autocomplete | 07:12 |
| ruan | toad_: though that link is probably more helpful | 07:12 |
| DaPenguin | bonjoyee, yeah, just wondering exactly what that does. not all that familiar gstreamer | 07:13 |
| ruan | also the 'help' command | 07:13 |

| gslack | good rule of themb is how well your ssytem runs that version of ubuntu main | 07:17 |
| DaPenguin | nyRednek, it's grub.cfg on ubuntu, or /etc/defaults/grub to edit the auto generated cfg file | 07:17 |
| ruan | toad_: there are programs for the terminal which can do tasks such as browsing, downloading, irc, and video/audio playing | 07:18 |

| gslack | nah pretty sure its hit beta just recently but then again i could be wrong | 07:19 |
| gslack | lol 8 years at alpha i think | 07:19 |
| DaPenguin | nyRednek, nope, same file is stored in grub.cfg | 07:19 |
| toad_ | well I want to learn command line | 07:19 |
| Stryker | anybody know how to reverse a track in ardour? | 07:19 |
| cipher | Will reverting to an older version of GDM (no more themes) potentially mess anything up? | 07:19 |
| gslack | its fast and unique tho | 07:20 |
| ruan | cipher: usually downgrades mess things up if programs are dependent on a newer version | 07:20 |
| nyRednek | DaPenguin: where is that? in /boot? | 07:20 |
| ruan | cipher: im not sure about gdm | 07:20 |
| tanath | ruan, ok, i purged wine and installed again, and it still crashes >.< | 07:20 |
| Stryker | toad_, you could use elinks to go to a dictionary site from terminal | 07:20 |
| cipher | alright thanks, i suppose I will just avoid it until i hear other words :p | 07:21 |
| tanath | ruan, was really hoping to avoid losing stuff | 07:21 |
| milamber | toad_: if you hang out here, you will learn lots of command line stuff. anything in particular? | 07:21 |
| ruan | tanath: can wine config launch? | 07:21 |
| DaPenguin | bonjoyee, hmm, getting an integer parameter out of range error, http://pastebin.com/awzKEBAj | 07:21 |
| tanath | ruan, yup | 07:21 |
| tanath | ruan, but regedit, taskmgr and uninstaller crash. uninstaller is the one i want at the moment | 07:22 |
| tanath | ruan, revo won't run either | 07:22 |
| DaPenguin | nyRednek, /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 07:22 |
| ruan | tanath: looks like a corrupt registry | 07:22 |
| tanath | ruan, i deleted the folder for the app i installed and want gone.. couldn't trust the uninstaller to run it... might that have done it | 07:23 |
| ruan | since all of those apps read from the registry to get data | 07:23 |
| nyRednek | DaPenguin: then just reboot from that? | 07:23 |
| ruan | tanath: you might need to remove the registry | 07:24 |
| colin_ | I edited my grub to run windows 7 as my default OS but it still wont do it | 07:24 |
| colin_ | any advice? | 07:24 |
| tanath | ruan, are not cdkeys & such typically stored there? | 07:24 |
| tanath | ruan, i don't want to have to reinstall apps | 07:25 |
| ruan | tanath: yeah :/ | 07:25 |
| cipher | colin_, why don't you just format any ntfs partitions? | 07:25 |
| DaPenguin | tanath, it's config information for windows apps | 07:25 |
| cipher | oh wait, sorry lol | 07:25 |
| ruan | tanath: some apps are portable and work without reg keys, but some need to be regged in the registry to work | 07:25 |
| tanath | ruan, actually, i found the registry file and am looking through it now... doesn't look like it does have cdkey info.. so far | 07:26 |
| Stryker | anybody know how to reverse a track in ardour? | 07:26 |
| tanath | ruan, mhm | 07:26 |
| ruan | tanath: try to remove registry keys related to that app | 07:26 |
| tanath | DaPenguin, among other things... like cdkeys, often | 07:26 |
| genesis__ | whyu | 07:26 |
| tanath | ruan, looking for them.. | 07:26 |
| DaPenguin | tanath, sometimes, yes | 07:26 |
| colin_ | cipher, format to what? I have about 3 partitions that are ntfs | 07:26 |
| ruan | tanath: and the uninstaller key for that app | 07:26 |
| gslack | colin did u run update grub? | 07:27 |
| genesis__ | why the guys that made ubuntu doesnt do suport for gnash | 07:27 |
| colin_ | gslack, i just used the application but no i didnt run that | 07:27 |
| ruan | !info gnash | 07:27 |
| ubottu | gnash (source: gnash): GNU Shockwave Flash (SWF) player. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.8-5ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 176 kB, installed size 492 kB | 07:27 |
| Stryker | you can make ubuntu genesis__ | 07:27 |
| ruan | genesis__: does sudo apt-get install gnash work? | 07:27 |
| gslack | well sometimes the app fails to do that | 07:27 |
| gslack | go to terminal and sudo update grub | 07:28 |
| ruan | sudo update-grub | 07:28 |
| colin_ | okay i just did that so i'll restart and see then | 07:28 |
| gslack | ty ruan | 07:28 |
| gslack | yep try it | 07:29 |
| DaPenguin | ugh, thinking this is probably a fglrx issue with the movie players | 07:29 |
| milamber | ruan: already told him to do that ~ no response | 07:29 |
| ruan | no response here either | 07:30 |
| gslack | maybe hes ceo's friend | 07:30 |

| Lewoco | When I run 'nautilus' nothing seems to happen. Does anyone have any ideas why not? | 07:32 |

| ruan | tanath: addbanner o_O | 07:32 |
| ruan | ad* | 07:32 |
| tanath | ruan, yeah... i knew after going through the installer it was a bad app... no close button, no uninstaller shortcuts, etc | 07:33 |
| tanath | ruan, buddy says it's great though :P | 07:33 |
| ruan | tanath: lol | 07:33 |
| ruan | tanath: maybe it works better on windows itself.. or maybe its a virus | 07:34 |
| Lewoco | cipher, Can you start other gui apps like gnome-terminal? | 07:34 |
| cipher | lewoco: I did it before on another ubuntu machine :p | 07:34 |
| ruan | Lewoco: can you run 'gksudo nautilus'? | 07:34 |
| ruan | just a random check | 07:35 |
| tanath | ruan, yeah, it didn't work. said click here to start but did nothing. works on windows apparently. but yeah, it seems to be bundled with malware | 07:35 |
| ruan | tanath: adware too, it seems | 07:35 |
| rodhash | Hey guys, I just formated an external disk with mkfs.ntfs and latter it's mounted as fuseblk.. any idea why it's not ntfs as FS type? | 07:35 |
| Lewoco | ruan, Cool that works. | 07:35 |
| ruan | Lewoco: though it runs as root | 07:35 |
| tanath | ruan, as far as i'm concerned adware is malware | 07:35 |
| ruan | tanath: it's all malicious, yea | 07:35 |
| mah454 | I eed java plugin for firefox . | 07:35 |
| tanath | ruan, if i don't want it there and it insists on anything against my will, it's evil | 07:36 |
| ruan | mah454: install icedtea | 07:36 |
| Lewoco | ruan, Why on earth does nautilus need root? Isn't it just a file browser? | 07:36 |
| ruan | Lewoco: i guess it just failed without it. it doesnt need it though | 07:36 |
| ruan | Lewoco: might be some permission error | 07:36 |
| theos | hi! what would be an easy to use remote desktop application for ubuntu? | 07:36 |

| theos | oh | 07:38 |
| ruan | tanath: looks like an ie toolbar | 07:38 |
| tanath | ruan, installer offered some things all of which i deliberately unchecked.. but i've learned it's pointless. it does stuff anyway. and i'm being proven right | 07:38 |
| ruan | tanath: i bet an antivirus would've went off at that | 07:38 |
| tanath | ruan, not likely. i've seen enough comps infected without alerts.. | 07:38 |
| ruan | yes but behaviorical detection | 07:39 |
| tanath | ruan, and it's not a virus, but other malware | 07:39 |

| tanath | ruan, well other apps may have, but likely not an antivirus | 07:39 |

| home-alone | hi...how to mount ntfs drive...???? My ntfs drives are read only | 07:57 |
| gslack | home-alone, easiest way is to use ntfs configuration tool | 07:59 |
| gslack | u can get it through software center or synaptic easily enough | 07:59 |
| home-alone | what is it called..??? | 07:59 |
| gslack | pretty simple and straightforward to use as well | 08:00 |
| gslack | ntfs configuration tool | 08:00 |
| r1tz | :D :D :D | 08:01 |
| gslack | it enables/disables read/write in ntfs partitions | 08:01 |
| larious | ruan & bonjoyee: I have .bin file there how do I do it with that? | 08:02 |
| gslack | home-alone, as soon as u install it it will be in administration under ntfs configuration tool | 08:03 |
| gslack | once u run it it will mount all your ntfs partitions for u | 08:03 |
| ruan | larious: when you put it on the ubuntu pc, open a terminal | 08:03 |
| gslack | well so long as u enable read/write on them in the app | 08:03 |

| ruan | _drag0nz: switch the dl mirror | 08:12 |
| introuble | My netbook keeps booting to a shell. It says it can't mount sys nor dev nor another thing. When I try to safely reboot with reisub, it goes into kernel panic! | 08:12 |
| introuble | Please, somebody help me. | 08:12 |
| ruan | _drag0nz: system > administration > software sources | 08:12 |
| introuble | I would be so grateful. | 08:13 |
| XATRIX | guys need to run 2 commands by cron one after one finished | 08:13 |
| XATRIX | how can i do it ? | 08:13 |
| _drag0nz | ruan, this is ubuntu server, where are they located? | 08:13 |
| ruan | _drag0nz: oh | 08:13 |
| _drag0nz | ruan, and where can i find mirror addresses? | 08:13 |
| ruan | _drag0nz: you need to change the place where ubuntu downloads its software from | 08:13 |
| ruan | not too sure how to do that in terminal | 08:13 |
| syn-ack | you edit the sources.list directly is all | 08:13 |
| introuble | Can anyone help me? It won't load my operating system, I don't know how to fix it on my own. | 08:14 |
| syn-ack | there used to be a list of servers on the ubuntu site. Not sure if it's still there. | 08:14 |
| nickals | how do i install everything after the installation is complete? i mean, i want to do like "apt-get install everything-humanly-possible" | 08:14 |
| nickals | for a desktop | 08:14 |
| ruan | introuble: run a fsck on the drive, it seems to not be able to mount | 08:14 |
| ruan | !fsck | 08:14 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 08:14 |
| nickals | non-server | 08:14 |
| gslack | introuble, do you have a live CD/DVD media disk of your OS? | 08:14 |
| syn-ack | nickals, You can't, really | 08:15 |
| introuble | Yes, that's what I'm running now | 08:15 |
| syn-ack | nickals and you really don't want to do that in the first place | 08:15 |
| introuble | i don't even think I have enough space to back up my files. | 08:15 |
| nickals | syn-ack, any ones that would knock out a large amount of the stuff you would want on a desktop? | 08:15 |
| ruan | introuble: you could do online backup | 08:15 |
| introuble | With what service? | 08:15 |
| syn-ack | nickals, many. | 08:15 |
| ruan | introuble: i use mediafire | 08:15 |
| gslack | introuble, not sure i follow u here. u ran a live cd and thats what happened? | 08:15 |
| introuble | I can't afford to pay for anything | 08:15 |
| nickals | syn-ack, im installing it for someone else, im use to slackware which comes totally loaded outta the box for the most part, i know ubuntu lacks a lot in comparision | 08:15 |
| introuble | No | 08:16 |
| ruan | introuble: it's free | 08:16 |
| syn-ack | nickals, define lacks a lot. | 08:16 |
| nickals | like it only has gnome | 08:16 |
| nickals | no kde | 08:16 |
| nickals | and like | 08:16 |
| introuble | gnome-battery-moniter was freaking out over my power chord, it was being fickle about its position | 08:16 |
| nickals | only a couple web browsers, not all 25 of them | 08:16 |
| introuble | and then my pc died | 08:16 |
| syn-ack | nickals, They're in the repos... | 08:17 |
| introuble | and I finally get it to accept the chords power and it loads to shell | 08:17 |
| nickals | syn-ack, yea but i dont wanna spend all night apt-get'ting each thing one by one | 08:17 |
| introuble | saying it couldn't mount anything | 08:17 |
| introuble | Although it looks to me like the files are still there | 08:17 |
| syn-ack | nickals, well, that's about the only way you can do it, tbh | 08:17 |
| gslack | introuble, i would first go int obios and do some checking | 08:18 |
| nickals | :/ | 08:18 |
| gslack | go into bios make sure nothings fried if u can | 08:18 |
| introuble | What should I be looking for? | 08:18 |
| introuble | How would I be able to tell? | 08:18 |
| introuble | I used the boot drive to check for errors, but it couldn't come up with anything | 08:18 |
| syn-ack | nickals, and to be honest, Slack really is a bad example of "what's lacking" since they don't even have an effective package manager. but that's neither here nor there | 08:19 |
| gslack | see if ur drives are all listed and all. | 08:19 |
| introuble | although the boot drive carries an older distro | 08:19 |
| introuble | they are! | 08:19 |
| gslack | not sure how u get into bios from urs depends on ur bios | 08:19 |
| nickals | syn-ack, you obviously havent used slack recently | 08:19 |
| introuble | No, I'm telling you, my hard drive is there and I can access it from this boot drive. | 08:20 |
| nickals | try being up-to-date before making such comments | 08:20 |
| gslack | with u losing power like u did u could have lost a lot of system files | 08:20 |
| introuble | It checked for errors | 08:20 |
| introuble | It came up nothing | 08:20 |
| nickals | (cause it does have a package manager now, thats very similar to apt-get) | 08:20 |
| Tyrnis | plop all | 08:20 |
| introuble | It said my drive was fine | 08:20 |
| gslack | ok then its a os error. if u have live media u can try and fix the corrupt or missing files | 08:20 |
| nickals | syn-ack, and slackware comes a lot more loaded "out-of-the-box" | 08:20 |
| ruan | introuble: when you boot, can you boot in recovery mode? | 08:20 |
| nickals | syn-ack, just sayin | 08:20 |
| syn-ack | nickals, That's not always a good thing. | 08:21 |
| introuble | Recovery mode? | 08:21 |
| ruan | introuble: yes | 08:21 |
| gslack | ty | 08:21 |
| introuble | From the bios or the shell? | 08:21 |
| introuble | I wouldn't know how from the shell | 08:21 |
| ruan | introuble: shell | 08:21 |
| gslack | insert ur live disk | 08:21 |
| ruan | introuble: well, i mean ubuntu recovery mode | 08:21 |
| ruan | !recovery | 08:22 |
| ubottu | To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 08:22 |
| nickals | syn-ack, in the case of having a small hd, only way i can see it being bad. embedded systems and such | 08:22 |
| gslack | got ya | 08:22 |
| ruan | introuble: ok, that too | 08:22 |
| introuble | I didn't see an option for a recovery mode type of thing in my boot drive | 08:22 |
| introuble | And the shell's commands are basic | 08:22 |
| syn-ack | introuble, it's there | 08:22 |
| XATRIX | guys, how can i restrict any operations (except reading) of file for every user ? | 08:22 |
| introuble | what would I put? | 08:22 |
| ruan | introuble: startx | 08:23 |
| QuestPC | Hi! Can someone copy/paste me php 5.3.2 configure string from phpinfo() for latest LTS (10.04)? I've misconfigured php and apache is broken. Tried to upgrade 5.3.2 to 5.3.6 via compiling. | 08:23 |
| ruan | introuble: what type of shell is it though | 08:23 |
| ruan | introuble: is it a shell you can login to? | 08:23 |
| XATRIX | i mean, it shouldn't be moved, renamed,... by anyone | 08:23 |
| introuble | startx won't work in lucid | 08:23 |
| introuble | ruan: Not that I know of. But I'm not familiar enough with bash | 08:23 |
| gslack | ok a lot of info we dont have yet | 08:23 |
| QuestPC | they've changed DNS and I ran configure with old freebsd 6.3 options instead of ubuntu 10.04 lts. | 08:23 |
| gslack | do u use grub for one thing | 08:23 |
| introuble | gslack: yes | 08:24 |
| QuestPC | now I cannot get configure string, it is stored in PHP of any LTS installation | 08:24 |
| introuble | I tried start gdm, didn't do anything | 08:24 |
| syn-ack | introuble, it's not in bash, it's in the bootloader. | 08:25 |
| syn-ack | introuble, you reboot, hold shift after the bios init and it's in there | 08:25 |
| gslack | ok then do u have a grub rescue disk? | 08:25 |
| syn-ack | make sure you use the left shift. | 08:25 |
| === ruan_ is now known as ruan | ||
| introuble | Er, wait. Hold shift after bios, recovery mode comes up? | 08:25 |
| introuble | That's what I should do? | 08:25 |
| syn-ack | mmhmm | 08:26 |
| ruan | yep | 08:26 |
| introuble | And other than that, anything else I should try before I come back here? | 08:26 |
| gslack | better than my plan lol | 08:26 |
| ruan | if it works, after logging in, then type startx | 08:26 |
| ruan | it will start up the gui and should work afterwards | 08:26 |
| QuestPC | Can someone copy/paste phpinfo() configure string for 10.04 LTS, anyone? It is a matter of 5 seconds for anyone who runs LAMP. I don't need complete phpinfo only configure string. | 08:27 |
| gslack | one quick thing, if it works get yourself a grub rescue disk ASAP | 08:27 |
| introuble | Do I have to run any command to login? The shell it's been presenting me doesn't ask on its own. | 08:27 |
| ruan | introuble: the recovery mode should ask to login | 08:27 |
| introuble | Okay | 08:27 |
| introuble | Awesome | 08:27 |
| ruan | i hope it works | 08:27 |
| introuble | If it works, I'm coming back to thank you guys | 08:27 |
| introuble | It's 3am and I have to leave at 7 | 08:28 |

| QuestPC | Anyone has 10.04 LTS installed? | 08:30 |
| Keshi` | QuestPC: No. | 08:30 |
| QuestPC | Keshi`: Why? | 08:31 |
| jackdamiels | @syn-ack : what do you mean by, you don't | 08:31 |
| syn-ack | jackdamiels, first off, they don't have a ppa for that particular repo in 10.10 so if you want it, you will have to install the older version that comes with UNR and second off, PPAs are not supported | 08:31 |
| Keshi` | It is old. | 08:31 |
| Keshi` | I only use it on my server. | 08:31 |
| QuestPC | Keshi`: I also have it on my server. | 08:31 |
| syn-ack | jackdamiels, to install the daily, you'd have literally upgrade your entire DE upto and including the X server | 08:32 |
| QuestPC | Keshi`: Can you look for phpinfo() configure string for me, please? | 08:32 |
| jackdamiels | syn-ack now I understand, thank you very much | 08:32 |
| Keshi` | I am not at home and my server does not have sh...can later on if you like. | 08:33 |
| syn-ack | yeah, jackdamiels if you want to check out Unity, either install 11.04 to a VM or just upgrade to it on your live system | 08:33 |
| jackdamiels | syn-ack I tried to installing 11.04 on virtual box, but with no sucess | 08:34 |
| QuestPC | Keshi`: Ok, thanks. I'll try to ask at ubuntu forums. If nobody would reply there, I'll come here again. Thank you. | 08:34 |

| Guest82426 | this netbook is from our school. | 08:39 |
| gslack | night introuble | 08:39 |
| Guest82426 | we have wifi. i do not want the students to see the wpa key. how should i do? | 08:39 |
| shiftingcontrol | Guest82426:means you want to hide the network on scan ? | 08:40 |
| Guest82426 | shiftingcontrol, no, the network is seen and known by everyone. | 08:40 |
| Guest82426 | i just want to avoid the students to click and see the key to copy it and use their smartphones | 08:41 |
| Guest82426 | cause if i right click properties under gnome, i can see everything. | 08:41 |
| ruan | Guest82426: gnome stores it, it doesn't give it out | 08:41 |
| Guest82426 | they should use these computers. | 08:41 |
| Guest82426 | ruan, right click and you see it | 08:42 |
| mokte | :) | 08:42 |
| ruan | Guest82426: yes but you're on the network, it stores the key for it | 08:42 |
| Guest82426 | i know, i d just like for them not be able to see the key | 08:42 |
| ruan | they can't see it externally | 08:42 |
| Guest82426 | mmmmm yes they can | 08:42 |
| ruan | Guest82426: hmm | 08:42 |
| Guest82426 | once they re connected, | 08:43 |
| ruan | Guest82426: they can't connect without the key | 08:43 |
| Guest82426 | they can just right click and see the wpa key | 08:43 |
| {C9}t00lsh3d | He's saying the students will be using the computer, and on the computer than can see they key, he doesn't want them to be capable of that. | 08:43 |

| ruan | right | 08:43 |
| Guest82426 | ruan, ok: | 08:43 |

| ruan | Guest82426: there should be, im not sure if wicd does it | 08:44 |

| {C9}t00lsh3d | I can't seem to find a way to see the key in xubuntu maybe if you use xubuntu's network manager ? | 08:45 |

| {C9}t00lsh3d | Just don't leave I'm curious of how to do this as well so if I find a way I'll let you know | 08:48 |

| Bartzy | Hi | 09:09 |
| Bartzy | I need to delete LOTS of files, I have their names (no name pattern, I just have a file list to delete). Some of those files may not exist - I need to verify that.. that all files on my list WON'T be in the filesystem. Looping through the file list and doing `rm -f $file` without checking if the file exists - Is that the fastest way ? Or it will be faster to check if each file exists before trying to delete it ? | 09:09 |

| 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 | 09:09 |
| Guest82426 | zer0s, i d prefer avoiding modifying those files: otherwise i would not choose ubuntu as a distro. | 09:10 |
| ruan | my ppa is: http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu | 09:10 |
| Guest82426 | i know it s possible theoretically, i did it a long time ago: and it was painful. | 09:10 |
| Guest82426 | those times wifi was still obscure | 09:10 |
| Guest82426 | zer0s, so i d prefer avoiding this. | 09:10 |
| zer0s | i assume you're desperate? | 09:10 |
| Guest82426 | there must be a way: can t we find the conf file where the password is stored and don t give read access to it? | 09:10 |

| RahulNM | How can I reset my server's root password? | 09:14 |
| ohsix | Guest82426: for connections that aren't "system connections" the password is stored in the users keyring | 09:15 |
| ohsix | Guest82426: thankfully theres a checkbox to make it one automatically (as a bonus it'll get you on your wifi before you login) the file is managed for you as well, permissions and stuff | 09:16 |
| ohsix | as to permissions: # ls -al /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/HOME | 09:16 |

| ruan | is there a way to get fullscreen console to censor my password when i type it? | 09:21 |
| ohsix | ruan: what fullscreen console? one of the ttys? | 09:21 |
| Sik | OK, so: installed Ubuntu through the minimal installer (took the minimal CD ISO and made it run on an USB), and it goes all fine... yet I go boot from hard disk, and it doesn't get past a blinking cursor. Huh, what? (and ctrl+alt+del reboots, so I guess the BIOS interrupts are still in effect) | 09:21 |
| ruan | ohsix: ctrl alt f1 | 09:21 |
| ohsix | ruan: and what do you mean censor, it's getty and has configuration, but i don't know if it'll do what you want; it doesn't sho wanything here | 09:21 |
| llutz_ | ruan: tty login won't show password here at all by default, not even asterisks | 09:22 |
| ohsix | did you change your terminal type in your login scripts? | 09:22 |
| ruan | nope | 09:22 |
| ruan | somehow it shows the password when i type it | 09:22 |
| ohsix | if you did, the termattr to change the mode might be broken | 09:22 |
| ohsix | what's $TERM? | 09:22 |
| ohsix | something unknowningly might have changed it | 09:22 |

| 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 | 09:23 |

| ruan | i got confused between the two again | 09:27 |
| ohsix | so you were expecting it to ask for your password repeatedly | 09:27 |
| ruan | yep | 09:27 |
| ohsix | instead it fails once, asks for user and pass again | 09:27 |
| llutz_ | try reading the screens output | 09:27 |
| ruan | yeah i failed at reading | 09:27 |
| ohsix | k, not a bad mistake to make ;] | 09:27 |

| ubottu | I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ | 09:30 |
| ohsix | jasonmchristos_: well for a live cd you'll need to do it every time ... for an install they're just cached packages, after they're installed you don't need them anymore | 09:30 |

| ohsix | it goes without saying that if you think network-manager sucks, or you don't like the name; or whatever you can think of, it's not on topic to carry on like that, people are here to solve the problems with their most immediate tools, manual configuration or obfuscation of their installed files and configuration is a last resort | 09:32 |
| llutz_ | ohsix: yep and i still won't agree. usually there is more than one way to get things working, thats how unix is. | 09:32 |
| ohsix | visual1ce: well they're all on launchpad, so if you're searching them start there | 09:32 |
| visual1ce | actually that ppa looks good | 09:33 |
| ohsix | llutz_: that's a red herring, it's not about what can get it done, it's about supporting the one people use and will change to fit the user | 09:33 |
| visual1ce | thx ruan and ohsix | 09:33 |
| ohsix | visual1ce: np | 09:33 |
| visual1ce | also, i don't think i have a firefox apparmor profile - isn't that a bit strange? i installed apparmor-profiles | 09:33 |

| xwx | about irc | 09:35 |

| ohsix | jasonmchristos_: dpkg -i will be messy if there are a lot of packages, the latter is best | 09:36 |
| jasonmchristos_ | well dpkg -i is what yum does after it fetches them correct? ohsix | 09:37 |
| ohsix | jasonmchristos_: if you use software-center it will automatically enable the universe repos and other things that'd need to be done if you did it the other way | 09:37 |

| === Guest82426 is now known as pipo | ||
| llutz_ | ohsix: which i have done when? | 09:40 |
| pipo | guys, i want to modify grub: i d want to make it HIDDEN and also take off some lines of it | 09:40 |
| ohsix | llutz_: they might take it and run with it and tell other people to use less well supported software, that all comes back to people that support ubuntu when it goes wrong | 09:40 |
| Sik | Does anybody know why if Ubuntu installs correctly, then when I try to boot from hard disk the computer hangs at a blinking cursor? | 09:40 |
| pipo | as there are no lines at all in /etc/Default/grub, ,.... how can i do it? | 09:40 |
| ohsix | llutz_: you setup a strawman with ifupdown & /etc/networking, and you know it | 09:40 |
| pipo | (i mean no entries i could comment) | 09:40 |
| jasonmchristos_ | ohsix, the point is i do not want to have to redownload them | 09:41 |
| pipo | (i d like to comment the memtest and the recovery modes, only leaving the windows 7 and the ubuntu present kernel) | 09:41 |
| ohsix | Sik: are you using an ati or nvidia card? the drivers installed might not do kms, or the login manager isn't able to restart | 09:41 |
| llutz_ | ohsix: no its a well known way to configure things, with software being already installed. and now pls drop it | 09:41 |
| ohsix | jasonmchristos_: i know, i've done the same myself | 09:41 |
| Sik | ohsix: S3 Chrome | 09:42 |
| jasonmchristos_ | ohsix, so i need to use dpkg -i ? | 09:42 |
| ohsix | llutz_: you're still reading past what i'm saying, there is a preferred and default tool for things to be done, if it's ubuntu-server you are right, but in practice it rarely is | 09:42 |
| Sik | In any case, ctrl+alt+del still reboots, so the BIOS interrupts are still in effect... which means it's failing EARLY | 09:42 |
| ohsix | jasonmchristos_: it's ugly, it's easier to copy the files to the cache, then just go through the motions installing the software again that used those packages, it will use them automatically | 09:42 |
| ohsix | Sik: that might be a real problem | 09:42 |
| ohsix | Sik: s3 devices are kind of a tough thing in linux | 09:43 |
| Sik | ohsix: any idea of what might be causing it? It literally hangs before it even boots :| | 09:43 |
| jasonmchristos_ | ohsix, oh i see what you are saying now | 09:43 |
| ohsix | Sik: ok, do you get a grub menu to pick the boot label? | 09:43 |
| Sik | No | 09:44 |
| Sik | It's the only OS in the hard disk, if that helps | 09:44 |
| Sik | I made a clean install wiping everything on it | 09:44 |
| ohsix | hmm | 09:44 |
| ohsix | if you boot with a livecd can you mount the hard drive it installed to? | 09:44 |
| Sik | Yes | 09:44 |
| Sik | Mounted =P | 09:45 |
| ohsix | is /boot/grub there with all its files? also, what filesystem are you using for / | 09:45 |
| habanany | on ubuntu beta :) | 09:45 |
| Sik | Gimme a sec | 09:45 |
| Sik | OK, definitely /boot/grub has all its files | 09:45 |
| ohsix | habanany: chances are if you have a question you'll need to ask in #ubuntu+1 | 09:46 |
| Sik | Also, whatever the minimal CD installer formats it to (ext2? ext4? lemme check) | 09:46 |

| jasonmchristos_ | i guess it doesnt store them in either when you su to another user | 09:54 |
| ohsix | until it does they're stored in memory | 09:54 |
| jasonmchristos_ | oh oh ok exit the shell first | 09:54 |
| cynicaloptimist | Oh, ignore me. Stupid, stupid PcManFm. It did stick the files in the deleted files folder, just doesn't have any option for displaying that folder, or deleting it's contents pemanently. Sigh | 09:54 |
| ohsix | if they were written to the file immediately people could spy on commands as they were executed ;] | 09:54 |
| shiftingcontrol | jasonmchristos:/root/.bash_history where all root 's bash history lies | 09:55 |
| ohsix | that is to say, the file can't normally be read by anyone but the owner unless theres a severe cockup, but if a server were hacked it'd be salt in the wound | 09:56 |

| ohsix | bbl | 09:58 |

| llutz_ | jasonmchristos_: no need to append an extension | 09:58 |
| Sik | ohsix: tried what you told me to do, no GRUB menu (or anything for that matter) | 09:58 |

| ohsix | Sik: well, if it doesn't show grub theres a problem with it; i don't have the time at the moment to troubleshoot what, i _think_ that can happen when the bios map at install time for the drive is wrong | 09:59 |

| Sonja | Brwa: i love notepad++!! i use gedit... thre´s lots of extensions to pimp it up | 10:00 |
| Sonja | ¨pimp my gedit´ | 10:00 |
| ohsix | Brwa: there is gedit, and anything gtk supports ime's for rtl languages, and you can even switch it for ones that don't | 10:00 |
| Sonja | might want to check out Cream too | 10:00 |
| Brwa | i have tried Gedit | 10:00 |
| Sonja | i don´t like out of box gedit, but it´s easy to customize gedit for all the extra features you want in it. | 10:01 |
| Brwa | Gedit only support RLM not RTL | 10:01 |
| Sonja | if you browse the web for gedit addons | 10:01 |
| ohsix | Sik: i didn't intend for you to ask directly, merely to give you a lead; you'll probably need to google around :\ (people here are good at fixing small simple things, that sort of problem isn't) | 10:01 |
| Sonja | rtl = right to left? (arabic, hebrew, etc.) ? | 10:01 |
| Brwa | yes | 10:01 |
| ohsix | Brwa: right click and pick insert unicode control character | 10:02 |
| Sonja | brwa: vim is a much more mature linux text editor, but the learning curve is higher. check out Cream as a more accessible front-end for vi | 10:02 |
| Brwa | i know that but its not RTL | 10:02 |
| ohsix | ... it is | 10:02 |

| gedO | IS there any book which writes about Windows VS Ubuntu or Windows vs Linux | 10:26 |
| Kevin1a | fatbrain: mostly music, though there are probably some video files in there too, yes | 10:26 |
| Kevin1a | ged0: you will find the most up to date info on the web. I recommend just running a search, books tend to be out of date by the time they are published | 10:27 |
| llutz_ | pipo: doesnt W7 use 2 partitions (1 100mb + 1 real system-partition)? seems one is found/listed as vista. idk, i don't use it | 10:27 |
| fatbrain | Kevin1a: I use VLC for all my video/audio files. But that's just me :O | 10:28 |
| Kevin1a | fatbrain: it's great for video, I agree, but I prefer rythmbox for my music, though I'm contemplating giving amorok a try. I don't want to clutter up the channel with chatter because it is a support channel, so if anyone can tell me if there is a Medibuntu repo for Natty, that would be very helpful | 10:30 |

| iqpi | linusoleander: oh, then look if you have installed env, do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install env | 10:48 |

| chalcedny | llutz_, would that make a difference if the laptop knows it's ssl? | 10:51 |

| Filope | Hi !!! How can I install Java JRE 1.5 for Ubuntu Lucid? | 10:55 |
| Kevin1a | @exclusive37 the only solution I can offer you is to use a different window decorator within compiz to get a theme with very thin boarders. I recommend emerald. Once you add the packages and the theme you want, you'll have too replace the line in CCSM>>Window Decorations with "emerald --replace" or something like that. It takes a little research and work, so if you go that route, I just recommend running a web search for instructions. Shor | 10:56 |
| Kevin1a | t of that, you only have a month until 11.04 comes out, and unity moves the title bar into the taskbar at the top of the page. | 10:56 |

| ohsix | Traineesysadmin: you can set a resolution on the kernel command line, theres also a command to do it while its running; but i forget the name, if all you want is more lines you can use the console tools to set the number of rows and forget about video modes, you can also change the font if you want more still | 11:42 |

| paddi23 | hi all | 11:43 |
| kmieciu | mozektos podac palska strone linux ubuntu? | 11:43 |
| lvh | ljsoftnet: I use those and like those, but I'm trying to get *MSN* support specifically working now | 11:43 |
| paddi23 | I am looking for a channel, that copes with comparing different notebook models. Is there something like that? | 11:44 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: that would be --no-R | 11:44 |
| ruan | there is ##hardware for hardware discussion | 11:44 |
| alex88 | paddi23: never heard about that.. | 11:44 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: little r with abbreviation is recursion | 11:44 |
| ljsoftnet | lvh sorry i dont know any, maybe someone migth know | 11:44 |
| MaRk-I | lvh: aMSN or emesene | 11:44 |
| Bartzy | ohsix: Oh. So giving rsync a directory won't copy only the files under that directory ? | 11:45 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: not as you wrote it, no | 11:45 |
| rileyp | am i visible | 11:45 |
| paddi23 | alex88, ok. I just need a notebook comparable to the lenovo x301 which is not being produced, any longer. | 11:45 |
| ljsoftnet | paddi23 try this website www.notebookcheck.net | 11:45 |
| ohsix | lvh: you'll have to use a speciality client for that i think, telepathy might do it though | 11:46 |
| Bartzy | ohsix: But I don't want it with -r... | 11:46 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: then make your file list with find, rsync can accept lists from stdin | 11:46 |
| lvh | MaRk-I: aMSN doesn't actually work with the latest version of Windows Messenger or Live messenger or whatever it's called these days | 11:47 |
| Bartzy | ohsix: Really ? rsync can't just accept a directory and only copy its direct files ? | 11:47 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: it probably can be convinced to; but find is really the proper tool to do it | 11:48 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: as a bonus, empty output from find will have rsync just exit with nothing to do | 11:48 |
| MaRk-I | lvh: then no idea i dont use msn for video... maybe pidgin is working now | 11:49 |
| bourne | hey i m using mysql query browser....how to connect to to Mysql server?? | 11:49 |
| ohsix | lvh: supporting it is problematic since stuff breaks like every other day :[ though as of late i don't know why there isn't support in the various messengers | 11:49 |
| Bartzy | ohsix: find /home/user/ -type f -maxdepth 1 | rsync ....... ? | 11:50 |
| paddi23 | ljsoftnet, thank you | 11:50 |
| ohsix | lvh: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/MSNAudioVideo info on it in telapathy, they really want that stuff to work there so that's where i'd keep my attention | 11:50 |
| ljsoftnet | paddi23 your welcome | 11:50 |
| lvh | ohsix: thanks | 11:50 |
| dr3mro | is there an open source project needs help in python |:) | 11:51 |
| ohsix | lvh: its threadbare but at least shows who you could ask | 11:51 |
| ohsix | lvh: it looks like progress on farsight will land in pidgin too; so they'll both end up working when it works there | 11:53 |
| ohsix | lvh: if you can live with google talk or xmpp(jabber) the protocols for video are wide open and work almost universally | 11:54 |
| ohsix | google talk is jabber so they get to cheat ;] | 11:54 |
| mylisto | I'm trying to find out how to copy some of my pictures from a chip to my laptop.. | 11:54 |
| ohsix | lvh: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/vv this page says something for msn video has been released in farsight | 11:55 |
| mylisto | most of the move except for one folder...I'm getting "Error splicing file: Input/output error" | 11:55 |
| ohsix | lvh: but the page on their wiki is blank/doesn't exist, seems like the definitive way of figuring out if it works is to try empathy or pidgin with msn | 11:56 |
| ohsix | (empathy is the thing that comes with ubuntu and powers the chat in that little mail widget in the notification area) | 11:57 |

| === johnm_ is now known as johnm | ||
| ohsix | hipitihop: its part of telepathy/empathy; the messenger for ubuntu, oddly enough i was just talking about it :] | 11:58 |
| sacarlson | hipitihop: what application do you run to get that? | 11:58 |
| ohsix | hipitihop: for future reference, dpkg -S can search packages for things, so you can find out what owns something | 11:59 |
| ohsix | for example: telepathy-mission-control-5: /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5 | 11:59 |

| Bartzy | ohsix ? :) | 11:59 |
| rodhash | Hi guys.. After my ubuntu starts to use SWAP it becomes little slow.. is there any way to improve the performance? Sometimes the SWAP has just 100MB (2GB RAM).. and my ubuntu works slow.. | 11:59 |
| hipitihop | sacarlson, meaning ? this was in /var/log/syslog | 12:00 |
| hipitihop | sacarlson, or do you want to know what alerted me | 12:00 |
| sagaci | how do I go about increasing the lines scrolled when I scroll with the middle mouse wheel | 12:01 |
| hipitihop | ohsix, so should I be reporting that segfault ? | 12:01 |
| bourne | help me guys | 12:01 |
| sacarlson | hipitihop: with segfault I would assume you were running something that crashed and you would see it | 12:01 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: well convention is - is stdin when given as a file, but i dont see --files-from= accepting it directly in the manual, i'll have to look and see if it does | 12:01 |
| hipitihop | sacarlson, nope, no ui indication that something has failed in this case | 12:01 |
| ohsix | hipitihop: if you want to report crashes you can enable apport in /etc/default/apport, then it'll pop up when it does crash | 12:01 |
| ohsix | i think mission control crashing is harmless though | 12:02 |
| ohsix | it'll just get restarted | 12:02 |
| mr_boo_ltp | rodhash: how big is your swap partition? | 12:02 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: doh my eyes, yes it says - will read from stdin with --files-from | 12:02 |
| Nijabo | Odd problem - I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a partition, but it can't find my wifi network. It finds other networks in the building but not mine, and I can find my netowk without a hitch on my Windows sytem. | 12:03 |

| ohsix | Nijabo: natty support is in #ubuntu+1 | 12:04 |
| Nijabo | ah | 12:05 |
| ohsix | JohnHeikkila: unless you mounted it by hand usb-creator will unmount it when you try and format it | 12:05 |
| JohnHeikkila | ohsix: Nah, just plugged it in and had kubuntu 9.10 installed on it, earlier | 12:05 |
| ohsix | JohnHeikkila: right it's an automount, then usb-creator would have been able to unmount it for formatting ;] | 12:06 |
| Bartzy | ohsix: Not working: find /tmp/src/ -maxdepth 1 -type f | rsync --files-from=- /tmp/dst | 12:06 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: with files-from i think it expects more than just the source | 12:07 |
| ohsix | so add | paste "dest" in the middle :D | 12:07 |
| Kartagis | how can I force removal of a package? | 12:07 |
| JohnHeikkila | ohsix: Well, yeah. Just umounted sdd1 and I was able to start startup disk creator | 12:07 |
| Bartzy | ohsix: Got it: find /tmp/src/ -maxdepth 1 -type f | rsync --no-R --files-from=- / /tmp/dst | 12:08 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: hm it's not paste | 12:08 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: ok nice | 12:08 |
| Bartzy | ohsix: Thanks a lot. really weird that it cannot be done with simple rsync... | 12:08 |
| paisano | morning | 12:08 |
| ohsix | Bartzy: it probably can, like i said; it's just easier/cleaner to use find, especially since you can do things like limit the depth | 12:08 |

| coz_ | apologies all,,, that was a slip up | 12:23 |
| thevishy | can I usse it ? | 12:23 |

| thevishy | ah so ...the commands like sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop and sudo apt-get autoremove would do the trick for me ? | 12:23 |
| ohsix | Duderino: do you recall using the "Additional drivers" applet to install anything? | 12:24 |
| ohsix | thevishy: it should | 12:24 |
| ohsix | thevishy: make sure ubuntu-desktop or something else is installed before you do it | 12:24 |

| Kartagis | alex88: that's not my concern right now | 12:29 |
| ohsix | Duderino: theres fglrx and the "radeonhd" and "radeon" drivers; though their selection should be automatic, you probably want the fglrx drivers, at least until your device is better supported by the others, and kms might not work with them | 12:29 |
| alex88 | Kartagis: it would solve the problem | 12:29 |
| thevishy | so mylisto how do you connect the microsd ... is it using a USB ? | 12:29 |
| mylisto | thevishy: no, I slip it into the onboard card reader | 12:31 |
| Duderino | ohsix: xserver-xorg-video-ati is installed at the moment, fglrx aswell. is there any command to view the actual graphcs settings? | 12:31 |
| thevishy | right | 12:31 |
| === Pici` is now known as Pici | ||
| ohsix | Duderino: well theres glxinfo which will give you a good indication of what the driver actually is without having to dig through logs | 12:32 |
| Duderino | ohsix: error unable to open display | 12:32 |
| ohsix | are you logged into a desktop session? it needs to talk to the X server | 12:32 |
| thevishy | mylisto, any idea if its working with other OS ? could it be a problem with a non working microsd | 12:32 |
| gnugr | !fglrx | 12:32 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 12:32 |
| mylisto | thevishy: I can access it and see some pictures... | 12:33 |
| mylisto | I think its a permission issue, but I'm not quite sure | 12:33 |
| sl33k_ | what is the shortcut to take screenshot in ubuntu? | 12:33 |
| ouyes | I am such a fool, just follow the software pop up tips, you will get the ibus work | 12:34 |
| ohsix | bbl | 12:34 |
| MaRk-I | sl33k_: printscreen key | 12:34 |

| magpiie | can someone tell me the correct command line to use for resetting my toolbars? when i minimize a window, it doesnt appear on my bottom bar | 12:35 |
| ohsix | !resetpanels | magpiie | 12:35 |
| ubottu | magpiie: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 12:35 |
| socram_ | after locking my desktop for two days, im now having high IOwait.. how can i know what's causing it? | 12:36 |
| ohsix | socram_: you can look for programs waiting in io in top | 12:36 |
| ohsix | socram_: or use iotop and see directly what programs are doing with the disk | 12:36 |
| ohsix | top can be convinced to show wchan so you can even see where a program is sleeping | 12:36 |
| magpiie | ubottu thanks, was doing my nut in not being able to see the windows | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:37 |

| Pici | !netsplit | 12:37 |
| 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 | 12:37 |
| ohsix | i wish the freenode guys would just disconnect servers getting ddos instead of letting this crap go on and on | 12:38 |
| soreau | ohsix: Ans we wish you would complain in the appropriate channel | 12:38 |
| === dhruvasagar is now known as Guest76723 | ||
| magpiie | so its not just me thats seeing everyone disconnect at the same time then | 12:39 |

| iro | ello | 12:39 |

| magpiie | dont need me to look at guidlines, i was only responding to someone on this channel | 12:40 |
| ikonia | ohsix: thanks, appreciated | 12:40 |
| magpiie | a simple question | 12:41 |
| ikonia | magpiie: the the guide lines where for maniek sorry | 12:41 |
| markskilbeck | magpiie: you've got to be careful in this totalitarian environment. | 12:41 |

| magpiie | coz cheers, i have recently jumped onboard the ubuntu train and tech speek is still a bit over my head lol | 12:41 |
| markskilbeck | Salut¬! | 12:41 |
| magpiie | ikonia no worries | 12:42 |
| ohsix | markskilbeck: it's not totalitarian, and there is a topic | 12:42 |
| Logan_ | markskilbeck: completely unnecessary; please do not antagonize | 12:42 |

| ikonia | guys, | 12:42 |
| ohsix | Duderino: keen | 12:42 |
| magpiie | how do i send someone a direct message? am i doing it right by just starting my topic with there name? | 12:42 |
| ForceDestroyer | I have a hunch that I'm having problems with some kind of power saving that kills my network adapter | 12:43 |
| ikonia | magpiie: just say the persons name who your talking to | 12:43 |
| ikonia | magpiie: eg: as I'm doing to you now | 12:43 |
| markskilbeck | magpiie: /msg user message | 12:43 |
| magpiie | ikonia is this right? | 12:43 |
| ikonia | magpiie: perfect | 12:43 |
| ForceDestroyer | I'm relatively new to Linux, how do I turn off or manage power saving features that might relate to the ethernet adapter? | 12:43 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: is it something you can force with mii-tool/ifconfig or some driver stuff in /sys? | 12:43 |
| ForceDestroyer | I'n mew enough to Linuy to have no idea what you're talking about... ^^; | 12:44 |
| ForceDestroyer | *new | 12:44 |
| magpiie | sweet, as you might be able to tell, i am fairly noob with computer language, as for ubuntu, i have been with this system just over a month, and its perfect(ish) | 12:44 |
| markskilbeck | ForceDestroyer: you probably mean GNU/Linux, but whatever. | 12:44 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: well i dunno if you can if the driver doesn't support it; trying to force it at least gives you enough information to report a bug, when you talk about power management do you mean when your laptop isn't on AC or something? | 12:44 |
| sipior | markskilbeck: that's enough. | 12:44 |
| * markskilbeck has been muddied by RMS | 12:44 | |
| ohsix | markskilbeck: trolling is offtopic on freenode, not just here | 12:45 |
| ForceDestroyer | No, I mean it is known that this Laptop has ACPI issues and I need to reboot 5-10 times to get the network adapter to work every day o.o | 12:45 |

| knoppies | I just accidentally shift-deleted a folder. Can somebody please advice me how to get it back (ubuntu 10.10), I need a quick fix, not something that is going to take me 4 hours to complete. I deleted it a few minutes ago, I haven't done anything since (except open IRC) | 12:45 |
| insanity99 | where is python folder? i need to find 'site-packages' | 12:45 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: ah, is your bios version current? | 12:45 |
| jrib | !recover | knoppies | 12:45 |
| ubottu | knoppies: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 12:45 |
| Kartagis | alex88: to my surprise, it solved the problem | 12:45 |
| jrib | insanity99: why? | 12:46 |
| insanity99 | to add a python module | 12:46 |
| knoppies | jrib, thanks, but I was hoping for a suggestion more directed at my problem. I will have a look. | 12:46 |
| hipitihop | sacarlson, sorry, tep possibly the one | 12:46 |
| jrib | knoppies: what python module? | 12:46 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: it's really all up in the air if you have other problems :\ | 12:46 |
| jrib | knoppies: I am also looking for a machine to turn aluminum into gold but unfortunately there are things that do not exist :) | 12:47 |
| ForceDestroyer | Well... I don't have other problems, I just read other people said the ACPI was strange | 12:47 |
| cyclobian | hi there.. does anyone know the name of the project that tries to make Gimp look like Photoshop? | 12:47 |
| ikonia | cyclobian: try the guys in #gimp | 12:47 |
| Logan_ | cyclobian: GIMPShop | 12:47 |
| nickor | hi guys | 12:48 |
| knoppies | jrib, I said nothing about a python module. Does it have to be aluminium? | 12:48 |
| cyclobian | ah thnx (kinda logical) | 12:48 |
| cyclobian | ;) | 12:48 |
| insanity99 | jrib? | 12:48 |
| jrib | insanity99: what python module? | 12:48 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: do you know what driver is used for your ethernet? like is it a marvell & uses the tg3 driver? | 12:48 |
| nickor | i ran the hard drive diagnostic from terminal yesterday | 12:48 |
| ForceDestroyer | ohsix: bios version? Uh, I don't know... does BIOS play a role after the bootloader? The network adapter dies during booting of ubuntu, and then sometimes is re-enabled when the login screen appears (green lights on the switch turned off/on again) | 12:48 |
| nickor | and im very confuised with the results | 12:48 |
| MaRk-I | ForceDestroyer: that usually happens when the laptop goes into suspend or hibernation mode you have one of them enabled? | 12:48 |
| nickor | it ran all night | 12:48 |
| sipior | insanity99: usually under "/usr/lib/python2.6", or "/usr/local/lib/python26", chaning version numbers as appropriate. | 12:48 |
| nickor | and is still goin going upward | 12:49 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: acpi problems originate from data in the bios and persist the entire time it runs, so if you have a problem with it being current on your bios can help | 12:49 |
| insanity99 | jrib, swampy for the book think python, been trying for ages and cant continue till i do it | 12:49 |
| jrib | insanity99: it's unlikely that you should need direct knowledge of these paths to install a python module though | 12:49 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: it being the computer, not the bios | 12:49 |
| nickor | 84302145 | 12:49 |
| ForceDestroyer | okay... I'll look for a current bios first then... mom | 12:49 |
| nickor | etc.... | 12:49 |
| nickor | is this normal behavior? | 12:49 |

| rileyp | am i invisible? | 12:50 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: best case scenario, it is related and is fixed by the update, otherwise we can look further | 12:50 |
| nickor | ill try to be more concise Logan | 12:50 |
| Pici | rileyp: we can see you. | 12:50 |

| Kronus | hello all | 12:50 |
| Kronus | need assistance please | 12:50 |
| rileyp | ah ok thanks | 12:50 |
| markskilbeck | But you would checkout the source from svn.php.net, and compile it yourself. | 12:50 |
| Pici | !ask | Kronus | 12:50 |
| ubottu | Kronus: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 12:50 |
| Kronus | ok | 12:51 |
| jrib | insanity99: see: http://docs.python.org/install/index.html especially "the home scheme" | 12:51 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: also the lights might not have anything to do with what you think, networkmanager brings the interface up and down, and your networking problem could be entirely outside the driver | 12:51 |
| Kronus | I'm wondering on how I can disable the "nouveau kernel" so that i can install my nvidia driver | 12:51 |
| ForceDestroyer | ohsix: there might be a new BIOS verion, though it says nothing of ACPI. I'm afk for a bit, I'll download and try it asap. Thanks. | 12:51 |
| mhdpiero | hi | 12:51 |
| coz_ | Kronus, that should disable when you install the nvidia driver from /system/administration/additional drivers | 12:52 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: they never list the important/embarassing things ;] | 12:52 |
| coz_ | Kronus, and you have to do a reboot for that to take effect | 12:52 |
| Kronus | i tried blacklisting it already but the nvidia installer keeps complaining | 12:52 |
| Kronus | and im on Lubuntu btw | 12:52 |
| coz_ | Kronus, are you downloading the driver from nvidia.com? | 12:53 |
| Logan_ | !lubuntu | Kronus | 12:53 |
| ubottu | Kronus: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 12:53 |
| Kronus | yes | 12:53 |
| insanity99 | ok thanks | 12:53 |
| coz_ | Kronus, open a terminal and type jockey-gtk | 12:53 |
| coz_ | I think that should be on lubuntu | 12:53 |
| Kronus | and next? | 12:53 |
| === Guest70374 is now known as _Synergy_ | ||
| coz_ | Kronus, ok when that opens,, look for the nvidia_current dirver and click to hightlight and then activate | 12:54 |
| ohsix | Kronus: if you need a newer driver than ubuntu includes, after following coz's instructions you should check out the x-updates ppa | 12:54 |
| coz_ | Kronus, let that download and install,, then reboot the system | 12:54 |
| Kronus | hmmm... im using the comp at work right now | 12:54 |
| ohsix | Kronus: f.e. if you need the 290 driver | 12:54 |
| coz_ | Kronus, ok take notes :) | 12:55 |
| Kronus | and another thing the install keeps complaining about a "script" at the beggining of installation can't remember what it's called | 12:56 |
| Kronus | but it prompted me to install anyway | 12:56 |
| Kronus | and that's when the nouveau kernel prob kicks in | 12:56 |
| ohsix | using the vendor driver installer for distros with a package manager is bad juju | 12:56 |
| Kronus | im using legacy drivers for nvidia geforce 2 mx 400 | 12:57 |
| Kronus | download from nvidia.com | 12:57 |
| Kronus | *downloaded | 12:57 |
| coz_ | Kronus, the legacy drivers should also be in jockey-gtk | 12:57 |
| Emil | hello :) new to linux. trying to install a lib. getting that i dont have permission. how do i 'make install' with admin privileges? | 12:58 |
| ohsix | yea you don't want to do that, let jockey do it for you | 12:58 |
| Pici | Emil: put sudo in front of it. | 12:58 |
| coz_ | Emil, where are you installing this library from and how? | 12:58 |
| Emil | thanks! | 12:58 |
| Logan_ | !sudo | Emil | 12:58 |
| ubottu | Emil: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 12:58 |
| nickor | for new users id recommend #ubuntu-beginners aswell | 12:58 |
| fillayu | hi | 12:58 |

| fillayu | markskilbeck a cakephp project can be used in php 5.2, but not used in php 5.3 | 12:59 |
| ohsix | Logan_: given the context i'm sure hes meaning to ask how to find the files he needs to take home | 12:59 |
| coz_ | Kronus, you might be able to download the requires packages under synaptic package manager and save them..then take that home and install | 13:00 |
| Kronus | so that means no apt-get or synaptic for me | 13:00 |
| coz_ | Kronus, are you on linux at work? | 13:00 |
| ohsix | yea, synaptic will let you create state bundles | 13:00 |
| Kronus | nope they use WinDOZE | 13:00 |

| cyoz | last time I tried to install ubuntu 10.10 from my usb-stick I got an error during the setup and googling the issue seemed to show that this an unfixed issue in ubuntu. Not an expert but apparently the installer is confused by a different file system on the stick as compared to a cd. Does anybody know anything about that? | 13:01 |
| cyoz | I'm trying it again today.. | 13:01 |
| Kronus | that's probably the most awful part... >.< | 13:01 |

| steveire | Hi. I have just upgraded to natty. I have two monitors in a 'double wide screen' setup, which used to work, and now doesn't.

| zvacet | !natty | steveire | 13:03 |
| Kronus | but can someone tell me how to disable that nouveau kernel? | 13:03 |
| _marix | ohsix: no, the rdesktop disables tha alt efter the first number pressed, so in notepad, you get 216 written instead of the char | 13:04 |
| Kronus | just in case | 13:04 |
| ohsix | zvacet: thanks for the link | 13:04 |
| ohsix | _marix: interesting | 13:04 |
| Logan_ | Kronus: /join #nouveau | 13:04 |
| zvacet | ohsix: np ;) | 13:04 |
| ohsix | _marix: if theres no setting to affect that for rdesktop i'id say that it was almost certainly a bug | 13:05 |
| Kronus | ok thnx for all those who helped ill keep those in mind | 13:05 |
| Kronus | :0 | 13:05 |
| Kronus | :) | 13:05 |
| _marix | ohsix: no setting that i have found that would affect it, not sure if its the default desktop in 10.10 that does some anti hold magic | 13:05 |
| ohsix | _marix: well alt is a key press/up event like anything else, but it sounds like its just bundling the alt state with one character, instead of a complete down, n sym, up sequence | 13:06 |
| _marix | ohsix: pretty much yes | 13:07 |
| mylisto | argh... | 13:07 |

| Core | hello! I have the following problem: I connect to my linux computer via tightvncserver (burned video chip) and I am unable to connect both to my wireless and wired network at the same time. When I try to connect to wireless it says: Dissconnecting active connections and I lose my vnc connection and I have to restart manually to connect again.

| mylisto | getting these errors when I do a dmesg | 13:07 |
| mylisto | http://pastebin.com/vCHUhE87 | 13:07 |
| ohsix | _marix: you could try the character map applet if its not needed to enter it very often | 13:08 |
| ferengee | mylisto, your fat on your microsd is corrupted | 13:08 |
| RobinHood | YankDownUnder : you there? | 13:08 |
| mylisto | ah... | 13:08 |
| mylisto | ferengee: anyway to fix it? | 13:08 |
| _marix | ohsix: its needed to often, already tried that route :) | 13:09 |
| ohsix | :\ | 13:09 |
| ferengee | mylisto, not that i know | 13:09 |
| ferengee | mylisto, I would recommend testdisk and / or photorec | 13:09 |
| ohsix | well i'm pretty sure its a bug, you should report it; if its expected to work like that and wont change, at least someone will tell you that when they close the bug | 13:09 |
| _marix | ohsix: its the small things noone thinks about when they get the bright idea to do thin clients | 13:10 |
| axscode | is there a way to install gimp 2.7.1 via apt? | 13:10 |
| ohsix | shrug | 13:10 |

| Emil | using synaptic package manager. keeps complaining about files not found. how to resolve this issue? | 13:20 |
| ohsix | sss314: theres no way for nautilus to know you want to run just that one in a terminal, you'll have to create a wrapper that starts the shell for you, or install the nautilus extras that will let you right click and run it in a terminal | 13:20 |
| aeon-ltd | sss314: create a script that does 'xterm(or name of whatever terminal you use) -e nameoffile' | 13:20 |

| xgt001 | porg: agreed...... | 14:19 |
| Guest93845 | I suggest googling around and spend some time reading up on solutions | 14:19 |
| ohsix | trancegeek: rarely, mixing versions can be a problem though; if its just a user program and nothing to do with running the system you should be ok though | 14:19 |
| trancegeek | ohsix, it's an icon pack | 14:20 |
| trancegeek | there just isn't a version built for natty, i doubt there are compatibility issues | 14:20 |
| porg | Guest93845: Your URL was for an Acer | 14:20 |
| porg | I already googled for about 50min w/o success... | 14:20 |
| ohsix | trancegeek: icon names change pretty regularly between releases, it might not work | 14:21 |
| trancegeek | hmm | 14:21 |
| trancegeek | true | 14:21 |
| trancegeek | dammit | 14:21 |
| porg | Hence i wanted to ask what's the general Ubuntu power/fan approach | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | ohsix,, I disagree with your estimation of the the importance of his windows share options. Let's just leave it at that. | 14:21 |
| Guest93845 | hehe I even found a page targeted towards silencing the vaio fan for my ubuntu vaio laptop :) | 14:21 |
| ohsix | trancegeek: but add the ppa, then go to software properties & change the release for the ppa to maverick, then reload packages | 14:21 |
| ohsix | BluesKaj: i at least read what you offered as a solution, i suggest you do as well | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | ohsix, suggest all you want :) | 14:22 |
| ohsix | BluesKaj: so you are providing information you don't even read or know the contents of ... i'm pretty sure thats deliberately misleading people | 14:23 |
| bazhang | ohsix, BluesKaj lets stop it now | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | ohsix, I did read it hbtw , the samba option was neber mentioned , if you would have read it thoroughly | 14:23 |
| Guest93845 | it seems to me, unfortunately that fan control is a case-by-case issue depending on your hardware | 14:23 |
| ohsix | bazhang: please review what he provided and speak to the situation | 14:24 |
| Dr_Willis | MB makers love to have their own fan control standards. | 14:24 |
| Dr_Willis | my AAO netbook needed some special deamon i recall. | 14:24 |

| ohsix | Guest93845: hm | 14:26 |
| ohsix | BluesKaj: my condolences | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | porg: all i know on fan contrioll is it depends on the MB maker/chipset. and my AA1 needed a server to get it to have any controll. | 14:27 |
| porg | Dr_Willis: So the preinstalled Ubuntu SW cannot handle it? | 14:28 |
| Dr_Willis | porg: for 3 out of my 4 laptops. ive not needed to mess with fan speeds/controlls at all. they work fine out of the box. | 14:28 |
| chalist | hi all. i have a problem with apache. session_start() error. i think my apache have not permission to write. any body can help me how i can fix it? | 14:28 |
| Dr_Willis | porg: it totally depends on the specific chipset/mb/pc. | 14:28 |
| xgt001 | my problem is so weird..... the moment i take the power cord off it becomes innocently quiet! | 14:28 |
| * DrManhattan clears his throat | 14:28 | |
| ohsix | xgt001: it can be down to your bios/acpi situation | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | xgt001: sounds like some powersaveing settings are incorrect.if it can in fact controll the fan sopeed. | 14:29 |
| porg | Yes, but what would be the user interface for accessing these settings then? Is their a common abstraction GUI for this? | 14:29 |
| ohsix | xgt001: windows often just walks past those while linux actually trusts them to work to some degree | 14:29 |
| ForceDestroyer | Okay, how is it that I repeatedly feel like an idiot when trying anything... how do I flash my bios? Using Google repeatedly returns that I need a floppy drive... who the hell has a floppy drive these days?!? Ô_ô; | 14:29 |
| ohsix | xgt001: theres a fancontrol package you can look at the configuration of | 14:30 |
| ForceDestroyer | Does the procedure depend on manufacturer, or is there some common tool to do it? | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | porg thers always the various apci and /proc/* settng you can play with - if the gui dosent have settings for it. and theres numerous make/model specific tools | 14:30 |
| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: you can make a cd or usb stick with dos on it to accomplish the same thing | 14:30 |
| xgt001 | ohsix: can u pls tell the package | 14:30 |
| shadow420 | !free-dos | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ForceDestroyer: many MB's these days can read the new bios froma flash drive. they dont even need to boot from a floppy. | 14:31 |
| BluesKaj | ForceDestroyer, what are you trying to do , first of all ? | 14:31 |
| ohsix | Dr_Willis: more /sys as of late | 14:31 |

| ohsix | ForceDestroyer: Dr_Willis is right, special name on cd or usb & holding a special key will do it for most things | 14:31 |
| NaseMk | i did install cheese | 14:31 |
| NaseMk | but does not work | 14:32 |
| ohsix | xgt001: fancontrol ... | 14:32 |
| {C9}t00lsh3d | Then your screwed. | 14:32 |
| Guest93845 | a search for "fan control" in synaptic package manager lists a variety of packages that might be useful | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive heard of MB's that can even (somehow?) connect to the internet with no OS and update their bios. Not seen one of those yet. | 14:32 |
| {C9}t00lsh3d | a lot of webcams don't seem to work :P lol | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Most all webcam drivers have been done by a small set of coders. They can only do so much. | 14:32 |
| porg | I already searched for "toshiba, fan, control, etc" within Synaptic, and installed those CLI apps. | 14:32 |
| porg | And tried to run them. | 14:32 |
| NaseMk | so no sollution for my problem | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | I never noticed my Toshiba needing any special fan control stuff. but i work in a very noisy enviroment with it. so i souldent hear it if it was as loud as a lawnmower. :) | 14:33 |
| chalist | hi all. i have a problem with apache. session_start() error. i think my apache have not permission to write. any body can help me how i can fix it? | 14:33 |

| ForceDestroyer | The old BIOS indeed says something of the kind... but... lol I'll quote it: "Start Easy Flash / Doesn't support: CDROM / USB HDD / Secondary HDD" | 14:34 |
| ohsix | Dr_Willis: those extra acpi modules are bound + pulled in by specific models; chances are you don't need one ... until you do :] | 14:34 |
| porg | shadow420: How would that help? | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | porg: if your MB maker even has a 'dos' bios flash utility. see 'freedos' | 14:34 |
| NaseMk | thanks | 14:34 |
| xgt001 | can we turn off the fan/ slow down the fan using acpi | 14:34 |
| porg | So i need to alter the BIOS? | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | sometimes updating the bios breaks the system , ForceDestroyer , be careful | 14:34 |
| porg | In order for this to work? | 14:34 |
| ForceDestroyer | Well, if I can't use USB, CD-ROM or the HDD slot, what CAN I use? -_- | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | porg: thers often differnt apci/fancontrol settings in the bops's | 14:34 |
| porg | But on windows proper power management and fan, already works | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ForceDestroyer: elven magic? | 14:35 |
| ForceDestroyer | Well, the BIOS is official from ASUS, and I have enough trouble as is, it's worth a shot | 14:35 |
| shadow420 | are you on a tower or laptop | 14:35 |
| porg | And I have looked at the fan settings within BIOS, and they seemed to be right | 14:35 |
| ForceDestroyer | But. Yea. Elven magic? I do not understand, maybe USB HDD does not include smaller USB sticks? | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | ForceDestroyer, were jujst trying change the boot sequence or ? | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ForceDestroyer: some older pc's cant boot from flash. some have issues with some flash. CDROM should work. | 14:35 |

| porg | So what do you say regarding my fan noise on my Toshiba? | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ForceDestroyer: if the bios has a flash utility. You just put the bios file on a usb stick. and use the utility... i think | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ForceDestroyer: you dont boot from the flash.. the bios has it all built in. | 14:37 |
| ForceDestroyer | It says "doesn't support USB HDD" ... maybe USB sticks don't count? I'll try it *shrugs* | 14:37 |
| ohsix | porg: "proper", by your own language you seem to prefer and use windows, do you need any help with ubuntu? | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ForceDestroyer: theres BOOTING from the usb.. then theres the bios reading files from the usb to use to flash with.. 2 differnt thangs. | 14:38 |

| ForceDestroyer | The USB stick doesn't work, but some secret thing can read NTFS | 14:41 |
| ForceDestroyer | from the Hard drive. I think I can flash using that *shrugs* | 14:41 |
| ohsix | porg: like i suggested to xtg, you should check the actual temperatures, and if they're higher than normal find out why before you crowbar it off | 14:41 |
| porg | ohsix: I ran acpitool, and even though it seems to have the setting most appropriate for silent operation (on, not forced) it is still too loud for my taste | 14:41 |

| porg | ohsix: I would not even know how... | 15:03 |
| ohsix | porg: it controls the thermal zones and the cooling devices for those zones; so yes | 15:03 |
| porg | ohsix: I know nothing about Ubuntu and power management so far... | 15:03 |
| ohsix | porg: well if you don't know then you probably haven't ;] | 15:03 |
| sipior | !paste > frank_ | 15:04 |
| ubottu | frank_, please see my private message | 15:04 |
| porg | ohsix: Is there no easier way...? I really should spend mz time differently. Reading hours of manpages, complicatedly accessing settings through /sys/devices, all this only for power management... Is there no easier way? | 15:05 |
| ohsix | porg: the important reason to look here is because it expresses almost directly what the bios/acpi says is the proper arrangement | 15:06 |

| JoeCoolDesk | I'm trying to transfer friles from one machine to another over the network. First attempt: SSH-FTP. What's the default password for the liveCD? | 15:06 |
| ohsix | porg: well, there are easier ways but they wont find, and probably wont solve your problem | 15:06 |
| bastidrazor | JoeCoolDesk: there is no password on the liveCD | 15:07 |
| ohsix | JoeCoolDesk: there isn't one, and you won't be able to ssh without one, so set one :] | 15:07 |
| craigbass1976 | JoeCoolDesk, I dont' think there is one. I'm also pretty sure you'd have to first install openssh-server on the one giving out the files | 15:07 |

| terry | frank_: install pastebinit | 15:09 |
| frank_ | sorry guys, here's the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/589279/ | 15:09 |
| porg | ohsix: Ok, cat /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp : 57000 | 15:09 |
| * alex88 nice to have ignored joins/part in this chan xD | 15:09 | |
| Jafar | sipior: then the user boots on my own cd, it creates the partitions as I specified (for example 5GB for /, 1GB for swap etc..) without asks the user | 15:10 |
| ohsix | porg: its important to remember that you shouldn't ever be expected to be looking at, or messing with this; but bios bugs exist | 15:10 |
| porg | The same what the GUI Xsensors reports | 15:10 |
| sipior | frank_: odd that the interface is not running. do you happen to have another network interface on that machine? | 15:10 |
| ohsix | porg: you're interested in the trip points and what they do with the cdevs (cooling devices) | 15:10 |
| porg | ohsix: So is 57 C enough that this fan rotates like an aircraft??? | 15:10 |
| sipior | frank_: also, is it possible to ping that interface from the machine itself (ping 192.168.1.3) | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | porg: that # may not be a direct Degrees C reading. | 15:11 |
| terry | frank_: is that the server or the client? | 15:11 |
| bastidrazor | porg: 57C is fairly warm.. i wouldn't want a box running that hot. a gpu maybe but not processor | 15:12 |
| terry | frank_: never mind.... wrong nic | 15:12 |
| porg | Dr_Willis: But very likely, would be to much of a coincidence that the /device stuff and xsensors read not both 57 | 15:12 |
| frank_ | sipior: no other interfaces on the machine. I just had it ping itself and it seems to be endlessly pinging | 15:12 |
| frank_ | sipior: the pings are just scrolling through the terminal window | 15:13 |

| sipior | frank_: that's good. now, let's get your route set up. | 15:13 |
| porg | Ok, now I know the temp is 57, and you say that the fan runs for a good reason, so next step is to determine why it gets that hot. | 15:13 |
| ohsix | porg: look at this for an example of what i mean; "passive" is when my fan is off http://paste.ubuntu.com/589280/ | 15:13 |
| porg | And look at the system load | 15:13 |
| sipior | frank_: what's the address of your router on this network? | 15:13 |
| ohsix | porg: yep :] it is a good reason | 15:13 |
| ohsix | but at 57 mine would still be passive, given my example | 15:13 |
| porg | CPU runs between 10 and 20 percent | 15:13 |
| terry | frank_: Ctrl-c to stop the pinging | 15:14 |
| ohsix | porg: that is a LOT | 15:14 |
| frank_ | sipior: not sure abou tthe address of the router | 15:14 |
| terry | frank_: route -n | 15:14 |
| frank_ | terry: thanks for the tip | 15:14 |
| terry | frank_: route -n | pastebinit | 15:14 |
| ohsix | porg: install htop (sudo apt-get install htop) then run it and sort by cpu usage (F6 then pick cpu%) | 15:15 |

| === issyl0_ is now known as issyl0 | ||

| ohsix | porg: this is also from a terminal, you could use System Monitor if you wish | 15:15 |
| terry | sipior: Yes, he said it pings itself fine. | 15:15 |
| sipior | terry: 192.168.1.1 is not "itself". | 15:15 |
| ohsix | porg: System -> Administration -> System Monitor | 15:16 |
| porg | ohsix: System monitor processes sorted by CPU usage give firefox 5%, and the monitor itself 8% | 15:16 |
| terry | sipior: Ok yea I see. | 15:16 |
| frank_ | sipior / terry: seems to be able to ping itself | 15:16 |
| ohsix | porg: do you have like an old 1.2ghz pentium-m? | 15:16 |
| porg | ohsix: wait a momemt, i ll determine | 15:16 |
| ohsix | thanks | 15:17 |
| frank_ | sipior: when I ran route -n the destination was: 192.168.1.0 | 15:17 |
| porg | ohsix: m processor 2 ghz | 15:17 |
| sipior | frank_: does 192.168.1.1 answer? | 15:17 |
| terry | frank_: What is the gateway IP address? | 15:17 |
| porg | ohsix: Thanks for all this detailed assessment, but i think it's going into the wriong direction | 15:17 |
| ohsix | porg: ok, so that is still high but not alarming, your cpu might be running at its lowest speed; since it changes to suit the load | 15:17 |
| frank_ | sipior: gateway said: 0.0.0.0 | 15:18 |
| ohsix | porg: do you use flashblock? | 15:18 |
| porg | ohsix: Right | 15:18 |
| sipior | frank_: does 192.168.1.1 answer? | 15:18 |
| terry | sipior: He said it pinged. | 15:18 |
| porg | ohsix: Please stop all this details. I can assure you. Even when the laptop is totally idle, the fan runs wild. | 15:18 |
| frank_ | no | 15:18 |
| sipior | terry: he did not. stop confusing the issue. you're in the way. | 15:19 |
| porg | ohsix: I certainly value your kind effort! I do not want to be inpolite! | 15:19 |
| ohsix | porg: or does firefox take more than 60% of the physical memory of the machine in the output of smem (you'll need to install that too) | 15:19 |

| Jafar | hi ! is it possible to repackage his own Ubuntu based distro by specifiny automatically the partitions (size) ? | 15:20 |
| ohsix | porg: if firefox is usin that much cpu you have a huge session & not much memory for it, or something else is going on; firefox can keeo your hd awake & active quite a bit in that situation too; raising hd & overall system temperature | 15:20 |
| frank_ | sipior: 192.168.1.1 does not answer | 15:20 |
| Dr_Willis | ouyes: depends on what you are searching for and how often the 'fileysstem' changes. :) | 15:20 |
| Dr_Willis | pcpower: time to use find then. | 15:20 |
| sipior | frank_: thank you. could you pastebin "arp -a"? | 15:21 |
| terry | frank_: what is listed as a gateway address? | 15:21 |
| frank_ | sipior: 192.168.1.0 (the destination in route -n) does not answer either | 15:21 |
| trancegeek | does the aero-like window snapping that ubuntu 11.04 has work in 10.10? | 15:21 |
| sipior | frank_: sorry, make that "arp -an" | 15:21 |
| frank_ | terry: gateway address is: 0.0.0.0 | 15:21 |
| trancegeek | i believe it's a feature of one of the recent versions of gnome, so i guess i'm asking if 10.10 has that version of gnome yet | 15:21 |
| sipior | frank_: 192.168.1.0 is not a host address, i didn't expect an answer :-) | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | trancegeek: i think its tecnically a compiz setting/feature. so in theory you could get it going in 10.10 | 15:21 |
| ohsix | porg: well the laborous discovery is just so you see what i was considering when you were wondering what it was and waxing idiotic about powersaved and ubuntu "the OS" bing a problem :P | 15:21 |
| porg | ohsix: firefox does not constantly use 9%. Mostly 0, only occasionally jumpts to 9% | 15:21 |
| trancegeek | dr_willis, i don't have compiz | 15:21 |
| ohsix | porg: ok | 15:21 |
| Dr_Willis | trancegeek: i dident notice it working when i had compiz disabled. | 15:21 |
| trancegeek | at least i don't think i do, and if i do, i haven't set it up | 15:21 |
| terry | frank_: that is not a valid gateway address. Look again. | 15:21 |
| JoeCoolDesk | ohsix, had to create a new user to have a password, but that worked. | 15:21 |
| terry | frank_: Bottom line. | 15:21 |
| terry | frank_: route -n | 15:22 |
| ohsix | JoeCoolDesk: weird, but ok, i had no problem settin the pass for "ubuntu" last time i needed to do it, but that might have changed | 15:22 |
| porg | ohsix: I think it is much more related to the setting balance between endurance/performance | 15:22 |
| trancegeek | how would i check if compiz is installed? i'm on a pretty clean version of 11.04 | 15:22 |
| trancegeek | i know i didn't install or configure it, and i haven't seen the menus that are normally there, nor do i have restricted drivers enabled | 15:23 |
| popey | trancegeek: 11.04 comes with compiz, but you could "dpkg -l "*compiz*" | 15:23 |
| Dr_Willis | trancegeek: its installed by default. and used by default if you ot hte drivers setup. See #ubuntu+1 | 15:23 |
| trancegeek | so i have a feeling it's part of gnome | 15:23 |
| terry | frank_: What happens when you run dhclient eth0 ? | 15:23 |
| porg | ohsix: which under windows with toshiba s utilitys can easily be set, and the noise reduction can be heard immediately | 15:23 |
| ohsix | porg: those are windows terms they made up to gloss over their power management settings :\ | 15:23 |
| ohsix | the toshiba utility might be lowering the cpu voltage too | 15:23 |
| trancegeek | my question isn't about 11.04 though really, otherwise i'd ask in +1 | 15:23 |
| terry | frank_ sudo dhclient eth0 | 15:23 |
| popey | trancegeek: it's installed by default, you have it whether you're running unity or not | 15:24 |
| trancegeek | ok popey | 15:24 |
| trancegeek | idc about compiz really | 15:24 |
| Dr_Willis | trancegeek: disable compiz/ see if it still works.. | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | JoeCoolDesk, I'm considering doin the same ..so you're saying the existing pw on the source drive wasn't acceptable ? | 15:24 |
| ohsix | porg: momento, there are ways to tell the cpu governor to do what you ask as a tradeoff for performance | 15:24 |
| trancegeek | i just want to know if the aero-like window snapping that works in 11.04 by default works in 10.10 now, whether with compiz, gnome, or whatever enables it, and i don't want the hacked together way that's on ubuntu forums, that one didn't work well for me | 15:24 |
| frank_ | sipior / terry: I'm dumping all that into a pastebin, one sec | 15:25 |

| trancegeek | i see | 15:25 |
| trancegeek | darn | 15:25 |
| trancegeek | lol | 15:25 |
| ohsix | trancegeek: on 11.04 it was added to the snap plugin | 15:25 |

| porg | ohsix: It all leads to nothing. The same I tried back on the MacBookPro, which has far more processing power. Really this evaluation is tiring me. I am close to give up, and just accept the truth to me that Ubuntu is quite nice for many thing, but regaridngg supporting individual computers specific power settings, it s a pain in the ar** | 15:29 |

| sipior | frank_: the 192.168.1/24 network is clearly not correct. | 15:29 |
| ohsix | porg: well this toshiba tool could be doing a lot of things, you'll need to approximate whatever it _is_ doing to expect the same | 15:30 |

| Evanescence | alex88: I do not know, just install that package | 15:38 |
| MoMo2 | meganerd, lol you took all the fun out of it -- nice fu though | 15:38 |
| ohsix | porg: try powertop -d -t 120, it will wait for 2 minutes then generate a report | 15:39 |
| frank_ | terry: my laptop is plugged into the router right now. I usually don't use a router, I just go straight from the cable modem to the desktop | 15:39 |
| Evanescence | alex88: why different ubuntu version has different package version ? | 15:39 |
| porg | ohsix: I did -t 60 but the bastard ignored my argument and simply used the defauolt 5 sec, but i try again with -d | 15:39 |
| ohsix | ente1: the user you're restarting it from apparently can't access the console; or ntp as its user cant | 15:39 |
| Dr_Willis | ente1: try using the 'service' command. not the init.d/ method | 15:40 |
| meganerd | MoMo2: that assumed that all rar files are in the same directory, an alternative approach would be to use find: "find /path/to/search/ -iname \*.rar -exec unrar l \{\} >> /path/to/index.txt \;" | 15:40 |
| porg | ohsix: Test runs, while this I only use that chat and open/close some tabs | 15:40 |
| porg | ohsix: Looking fwd to that stats | 15:41 |
| alex88 | Evanescence: that's normal..older ubuntu version doesn't use lastest packages.. just if needed by security.. just download the lucid one and try..why you need that? | 15:41 |

| Evanescence | alex88: I am searching some package about initram , then install them , then check the dependence | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | Dr_Willis, for some reason the service command won't work with my wsb wifi adapter, but the init.d does | 15:42 |
| meganerd | MoMo2: just lots of practice, nothing magical. I have had a Unix CLI since '94... | 15:42 |
| alex88 | Evanescence: you can just click to the distro in that page and see the deps | 15:42 |
| Pici | Evanescence: live-initramfs is a virtual package, | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | wsb=usb | 15:42 |
| ohsix | porg: even with that small sample, it's pointing at the lack of undervolting :\ | 15:43 |
| Evanescence | Pici: what is that ? virtual package ? | 15:43 |
| alex88 | Pici: why it's included in all distro but not in maverick? | 15:43 |
| Pici | alex88: I don't know. | 15:43 |
| ente1 | Dr_Willis: "-bash: service: command not found" ;-) its ubuntu 8.04 | 15:43 |
| frank_ | sipior / terry: any other ideas? is there any way to just reset all of Ubuntu's network connections entirely? | 15:43 |
| meganerd | MoMo2: one thing to remember is that that the >> just appends to the text file, if you are putting this into a cronjob, you may want to zero out the file or move it out of the way. There are lots of examples on the net for this. | 15:43 |
| Evanescence | alex88: that package is included at other distro ? | 15:44 |
| MoMo2 | yeah i just got to get the for loops -- i really blame lack of projects =P | 15:44 |
| ohsix | alex88: all ubuntu distros? or what, you can probably find the reason it was removed in its removal request, you might have to go to debians BTS to find it | 15:44 |

| nascentmind | Hi. How do I make fluxbox get the background set by styles? Right now I am getting the background set by kdm. | 15:46 |
| sipior | frank_: out of curiosity, have you tried plugging the cable that is currently plugged in to your desktop, into your laptop? | 15:46 |
| sipior | Viliny: not easily, i'm afraid. vastly simpler to install again. | 15:47 |
| frank_ | sipior: yes, I tried that, didn't work | 15:47 |

| frank_ | terry: right now, the cable modem is plugged into the router (a Linksys BEFSR41), and both comptuers are plugged into the router | 15:56 |

| ActionParsnip | ohsix: fine with me :D | 16:08 |
| leszek | klxa | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | porg: so what is the issue again please? | 16:09 |
| porg | ohsix: I still am loyal to you! ;-) | 16:09 |
| ohsix | ActionParsnip: feel free to pm if you need a hand | 16:09 |
| ohsix | porg: like i said, no problem | 16:09 |
| porg | ActionParsnip just did some nice crosstalk. | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ohsix: thanks | 16:09 |
| frank_ | terry: okay, but earlier this morning, the computer was plugged directly into the cable modem with no router in between, and it still didn't work | 16:09 |
| === mirky is now known as Guest2212 | ||
| porg | I think I should stay with ohsix, we are very close to the solution i think | 16:09 |
| benzaldehyde | frank_: had an ethernet cable take a dump on me two days ago, fiberoptics is a bunch of glass strands or so am under the impression | 16:09 |
| ohsix | porg: but that stuff in your syslog isn't free, its keeping your harddrive on | 16:09 |
| BBgamer | It worked instantly when I rebooted. | 16:10 |
| ohsix | porg: i have no clue about the bluetooth message though | 16:10 |
| benzaldehyde | frank_: i.e. cables fail | 16:10 |
| porg | Ok, that for sure is not nice, and worth solving, but first i am about to solve the fan issue. | 16:10 |
| frank_ | benzaldehyde: yea, that's happened to me in the past too. I've tried three different cables this morning and none work | 16:10 |
| BBgamer | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/589309/ | 16:10 |
| ohsix | BBgamer: want to know a neat trick? click on "available to all users" in the connection properties and it will connect way before you log on | 16:10 |
| terry | frank_: Now you can replace your cable modem with the Linksys BEFSR41 and use it correctly and then both machines will be able to connect. But the way you have it connected now, you will only be able to connect one machine at a time. And the cable modem will need to be restarted if you switch. | 16:10 |
| porg | hi, test? is my inet connection still active? | 16:11 |
| BBgamer | Ohsix: Thanks, but I've already done that. | 16:11 |
| benzaldehyde | frank_: are all the lights on | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | BBgamer: that's only the drive being detected, no network info :( | 16:11 |
| porg | test ended. inet connection seems ok. sorry. | 16:11 |
| benzaldehyde | frank_: specifically, modem lights | 16:11 |
| ohsix | BBgamer: keen, i just want everyone to know it ;] | 16:11 |
| frank_ | benzaldehyde: all the modem lights are on | 16:11 |
| terry | frank_: If you unplug the laptop from the router, the other machine will more than likely be able to connect but you will probably need to unplug the cable modem's power supply and re-connect it again. | 16:12 |
| benzaldehyde | frank you are connected then, it is just a matter of getting dhclient to issue you an ip | 16:12 |
| benzaldehyde | frank if the system sees the device | 16:12 |
| frank_ | terry: that makes sense, the lights on the front of the router are only lit up for the port the laptop is plugged into to. But that doesn't explain why the desktop wouldn't work when I went straight from the modem to the computer with no router | 16:12 |
| terry | frank_: In other words, disconnect the laptop's cable, power cycle the cable modem and try again (with the other PC). | 16:13 |
| porg | ohsix: 1) How intense is my CPU load in relation to only using one user process? I think ok 2) How is the temp in relation to CPU usage? 3) How is the fan? Must we set any "tripoints", "govern the cpu", etc? | 16:13 |
| porg | ohsix: I want to come to a conclusion. Is it possible with our knowledge, or do we need to assess further facts? | 16:14 |
| ohsix | porg: your powertop indicates all is normal; except there is something keeping your hard drive on all the time, writing to syslog very fast | 16:14 |
| ohsix | porg: every 5 seconds even for that bluetooth message | 16:14 |
| terry | frank_: Your present configuration will not work. You have 2 choices: 1) Replace the Linksys BEFSR41 with a router. 2) Replace the cable modem with the Linksys BEFSR41 | 16:14 |
| BluesKaj | frank_, how many input ports on the router ? | 16:14 |
| === fakhzan is now known as LELAKIrajin | ||
| frank_ | terry: okay, i'll try that. Do you have any thoughts on the situation I had before I set up the modem? Usually I go straight from the modem to the desktop with no router. It was working fine yesterday. Yesterday, it was fine | 16:15 |
| parkdriver | Hi everyone. Is there a special Ubuntu Server edition IRC channel? | 16:15 |
| bazhang | parkdriver, #ubuntu-server | 16:15 |
| frank_ | terry: sorry, typo, "Before I set up the router." Prior to this, it went Modem > Desktop, with no router and still didtn' work | 16:15 |
| terry | frank_: Again. Try it again but restart the cable modem. | 16:15 |
| benzaldehyde | frank_: it might actually, your modem is running from a MAC address given to it by the router and you switch things around sometimes all that needs to reset to the new MAC | 16:15 |
| MK` | Can I use things for Lucid on Maverick? The PPA I added gave me an error when I used apt-get update | 16:16 |
| parkdriver | bazhang: thank you! | 16:16 |
| terry | frank_: Some cable modems will not connect to a different machine untill it is re-started. | 16:16 |
| bazhang | MK`, no | 16:16 |
| porg | ohsix: Ok, So workload is quite usual (besides this BT and mail stuff, which is another issue, not necessarily causally related) | 16:16 |
| MK` | Thank you | 16:16 |
| bazhang | MK`, whats the ppa link | 16:16 |
| MK` | I'll wait until the guy updates I guess :P | 16:16 |
| frank_ | Blueskaj: the router has 4 or 5 ports, I've tried them all, nothing works | 16:16 |
| terry | frank_: In other words, disconnect the laptop's cable, power cycle the cable modem and try again (with the other PC). | 16:16 |
| porg | ohsix: So does the fan "run more than necessary" ? | 16:16 |
| ohsix | frank_: odd router -> computer should work; i've seen two people reporting that it doesn't in the last few days though | 16:16 |
| porg | ohsix: And if so, how can we change it? | 16:17 |
| MK` | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/loell/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found | 16:17 |
| mneptok | frank_: you're trying to connect a computer to the cable modem that is not usually connected? | 16:17 |
| MK` | there | 16:17 |
| * BluesKaj thinks the router should be the connection device for all pcs . which then connect to the modem ...that's what i did with my old linksys | 16:17 | |
| terry | frank_: The way you are using the Linksys BEFSR41 now is as a switch. So what you have is a switch not a router. | 16:17 |
| ohsix | porg: the hd being on all the time will generate a lot of useless heat, remove/fix postfix and figure out how to kill that bt message | 16:17 |
| terry | frank_: And it will not work that way. | 16:17 |
| ohsix | terry is right about the mac address/modem restart too | 16:18 |
| frank_ | mneptok: I typically don't use a router. I go straight from the modem to the comptuer. I never had a problem, but today the desktop wouldn't recognize the wired connection. So I set up the linksys so I could wire in my laptop and get online | 16:18 |
| porg | Ok, so maybe it's not high CPU load, but high disk rotation / heat generation? But then again, why does it work better on Windows, where the disk spins all the time? | 16:18 |
| ohsix | it's up to the isp to say how many cpe's there are and they go by mac; oce it's seen that number it'll ignore any more | 16:18 |
| frank_ | terry: I'll take yoru advice and give it a try, thank you for your help. I'll be back if it doesn't work. | 16:18 |
| ohsix | porg: spinning is fine, writing every 5 seconds isn't | 16:19 |
| frank_ | I appreciate all the time and help, thanks guys | 16:19 |
| terry | frank_: Ok. | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | yeah terry , router us a misnomer , a hub probly the correct name | 16:19 |
| terry | NP | 16:19 |
| porg | ohsix: Always bear in mind (as a contextual relation) that in Windows the fan works more silent with the proper power profile! | 16:19 |
| ohsix | frank_: you have me curious though, can you check something for me? | 16:19 |
| terry | BluesKaj: Correct | 16:19 |
| porg | ohsix: Ok! So that's a qualitative difference! | 16:19 |
| mneptok | frank_: power off everything. call Comcast and ask them to clear the MAC address associated with your modem and its circuit. tell them you want to set up a router. they may help you, they may not. but you deifnitely want that circuit bound to the MAC address of the WAN interface of the BEFSR41. | 16:19 |
| ohsix | porg: well you can write to syslog more often andmake it worse, what are you saying? | 16:19 |
| porg | Where does this postfix issue come from? I have a fresh Ubuntu setup, and no mail account set up so far. Could that be the cause? | 16:20 |
| ohsix | porg: that is a bug/problem that needs to be fixed | 16:20 |
| * BluesKaj sees too many cooks in this network kitchen , and backs off :)\ | 16:20 | |
| terry | mneptok: The Linksys BEFSR41 does not have a WAN interface | 16:20 |
| ohsix | porg: mine is a fresh install too, and there is no postfix | 16:20 |
| terry | mneptok: The Linksys BEFSR41 is a cable modem. | 16:20 |
| porg | ohsix: What I meant is that 5sec interval disk write access within my currently faulty Ubuntu could in deed be the causal difference for more heat, hence more fan rotation | 16:21 |
| mneptok | terry: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124001 | 16:21 |
| benzaldehyde | mneptok: you can set your router to any MAC address and the internet service provider would never see that address, it's your intranet not internet. just saying they might not accept that as an excuse to do what you ask | 16:21 |
| * BluesKaj wonders how many input ports on the cable modem ..frank? | 16:21 | |
| terry | frank_: frank_ has 2 choices: 1) Replace the Linksys BEFSR41 with a router. 2) Replace the cable modem with the Linksys BEFSR41 | 16:22 |
| ohsix | frank_: try sudo mii-tool -r eth0 in a terminal while it is connected to the cable modem | 16:22 |
| benzaldehyde | mneptok: though not being about to connect they may just work with you either way | 16:22 |
| porg | ohsix: How can I fix it manually for me know. Of course this fix should make its way into the main distributuion one day. But for now, how can i help myself? | 16:22 |
| kostantinos | hi | 16:22 |
| terry | mneptok: frank_ has 2 choices: 1) Replace the Linksys BEFSR41 with a router. 2) Replace the cable modem with the Linksys BEFSR41 | 16:22 |
| benzaldehyde | *able | 16:22 |
| mneptok | benzaldehyde: if the modem is in bridged and no router mode, the ISP will definitely see the MAC address of any interface connected to it | 16:22 |

| === gtramontina is now known as gtramont1na | ||
| mneptok | terry: it *should* be in bridged mode, if a user is going to use their own router behind the modem. | 16:27 |
| terry | mneptok: Yea ok... | 16:28 |
| porg | ohsix: Still, in relation to the 57 C, is that CLEARLY audible fan speed ok? Btw, how can I read the fan rotation speed? | 16:28 |
| ohsix | porg: postfix will do that if its installed and not configured; i do not know why it is installed on your computer | 16:28 |
| terry | mneptok: It is very difficult to solve someone's network configuration problems remotely. There are too many possibilities. | 16:28 |
| porg | Can I see whether anything is dependent on postfix? Else I could simply uninstall it. Ok? | 16:29 |
| ohsix | porg: typically the fan rpm is not visible unless read directly from the controller ic, you could try lm-sensors but it will alost certainly not be shown | 16:29 |
| ohsix | porg: you will be told what depends on it when you attempt to remove it | 16:29 |
| bluenemo | can i install 10.04 netbook edition in kvm? | 16:29 |
| porg | ohsix: Whats the cmdlkine for removing a package? | 16:30 |
| terry | mneptok: There are too many possibilities, and it is easy to get confused. | 16:30 |

| Spikehead777 | I'm just going to throw this out there: I have two screens: a 1440x900 monitor hooked up via DVI, and a 1360x768 monitor hooked up via VGA. Both monitors are hooked up to my NVIDIA GeForce 240 GT. | 16:30 |
| frank | terry: I'm back, here's what I did. (A) Unplugged the laptop from the linksys so the Desktop was the only computer plugged into it. Restarted the both the modem adn the router, still didn't work. (B) Removed the Linksys and plugged the computer directly into the cable modem (which is my usual setup). Restarted the modem. Still didn't work. (C) Connected my desktop to the modem using a USB and it picked up the internet connection right aw | 16:31 |
| frank | ay. So right now, I'm on the problematic desktop computer, connected via USB. It still will not recognize an ethernet connection | 16:31 |
| benzaldehyde | mneptok: that still has nothing to do with what the ISP sees, they only see the MAC of your modem | 16:31 |
| porg | ohsix: The following packages will be REMOVED: bsd-mailx postfix | 16:31 |
| porg | so bsd-mailfix depends on it | 16:31 |
| ohsix | porg: sounds fine | 16:31 |
| frank | terry: not sure if the entirety of that message posted. I took your advice, and it still didn't work. I plugged the comptuer directly into the cable modem, restarted it, nothing worked. | 16:31 |
| porg | or came along wiht it? | 16:31 |
| frank | terry: then I connected the computer to the modem with a USB and it picked up the internet immediately. Right now, I'm using the problematic computer that is USBed tot he modem | 16:32 |
| ohsix | bsd-mailx is installed for local mail delivery, but you have to go out of your way to install postfix with it (its offered as an option) | 16:32 |
| Spikehead777 | The problem is that my tv is receiving a 1280x768 from ubuntu instead of the proper 1360x768, even though the NVIDIA settings page is set up correctly. This is my first time working with ubuntu, so bear with me. How can I fix this if | 16:32 |
| frank | terry: it still won't pick up anything with the ethernet | 16:32 |
| terry | frank: I was wrong. The Linksys BEFSR41 is a router. | 16:32 |
| porg | ohsix: This removal will not cause other apps to trouble? I mean there must have been a reason why it came in the default installation? Or was it merely there as a bug? | 16:32 |
| === Guest11201 is now known as knightstalker | ||
| frank | terry: that's fine, I'm not using the LInksys right now anyway, the problem seems to be with my computers ability to recognize an ethernet connection | 16:32 |
| ohsix | frank: can you try doing sudo mii-tool -r eth0 while its connectted by ethernet? | 16:32 |
| frank | terry: since a USB connection to the modem seems to work fine | 16:33 |
| === knightstalker is now known as Guest80030 | ||
| terry | frank: mneptok pointed out that the cable modem has two options bridge mode and router mode and that may be the problem. | 16:33 |

| sukima | Why does apt-get rubygems say it is uptoday whena gem -v clearly shows an out of date version. Most gems need a newer version. | 16:33 |
| bluenemo | phoenixsampras, via /etc/network/interfaces | 16:33 |
| maco | sukima: because it's up-to-date as of the ubuntu repositories | 16:34 |
| terry | frank: I was confused because you were never able to tell me whether or not the cable modem was plugged into the WAN port of the router. Was it? | 16:34 |
| porg | ohsix: Is postfix needed for mail server applications only, or also for mail clients? | 16:34 |
| phoenixsampras | bluenemo: is there any sintax for it? | 16:34 |
| maco | sukima: what is on your system is the newest in the repos. that's all apt-get can tell you | 16:34 |
| sukima | maco is there something wrong with it that ubuntu repositories are not being updated? | 16:34 |
| porg | ohsix: Or in other words, will the default mail app from Ubuntu get troubles? | 16:34 |
| bluenemo | phoenixsampras, yes google for it. its not to hard to understand. you can enter static ip's and gateways there | 16:34 |
| benzaldehyde | terry: bridge mode has not a thing to do with the modem | 16:34 |
| ohsix | frank: it wouldn't, but it also wouldn't confirm what i'm wondering, if yyou could do ethernet only; see if it works affter, then post dmesg to a pastebin i'd be grateful | 16:34 |
| benzaldehyde | terry: you have it reversed | 16:34 |
| frank | terry: the modem was plugged into the router port labeled "internet", but I'm not using the router rihgt now | 16:34 |
| maco | sukima: new versions of upstream software go into new versions of ubuntu. only bugs are fixed in stable ubuntu releases | 16:34 |
| porg | ohsix: I was referring to Evolution mail | 16:35 |
| frank | ohsix: will do, one sec | 16:35 |
| maco | sukima: you could perhaps request a backport of the newer version for an older ubuntu release. there's a separate repository just for that | 16:35 |
| ohsix | porg, no, it's for local mail delivery, you picked postfix when you installed smartmontools | 16:35 |
| sukima | I could understand using older versions of software for end user stuff but something like system libraries should probubly be updated especially since it at 1.3 and the web site says it's up to 1.7 | 16:35 |

| ohsix | terry: at least that will sidestep it | 16:37 |
| porg | ohsix: Now I see where postfix came from! smartmontools! I guess for their email alerts! So I will file the bug with smartmontools. Correct? | 16:37 |

| benzaldehyde | LeaoX: you too | 16:38 |
| BluesKaj | terry, what if frank just uses the router directly to the internet , with no cable modem ? | 16:38 |
| ohsix | porg: no, you picked postfix as a mailer when it asked to configure bsd-mailx, just leave it at default | 16:38 |
| frank | not sure if it's relevant, but the light on the modem that says "PC Activity" is blinking (as it should be) when I'm connected with USB, but with ethernet, it's off | 16:38 |
| frank | it seems like the problem is that the PC jsut isnt' seeing any ethernet connections all of a sudeen | 16:39 |
| ohsix | porg: a module, after you report the bug you can blacklist it temporarily to get it to shut up | 16:39 |
| terry | BluesKaj: He can't do that. It is not a cable modem, just a router. | 16:39 |
| ohsix | frank: ok, one more thing to try | 16:39 |
| frank | okay | 16:39 |
| benzaldehyde | BluesKaj: are you joking | 16:39 |

| terry | benzaldehyde: He said at one point that he tried switching cables. | 16:42 |
| maco | sukima: /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades <-- modify that file to "normal" instead of "lts" | 16:42 |
| frank | benzaldehyde: the ethernet calbe I'm using now is the same one I was using witht he laptop a few minutes ago, it worked perfectly | 16:42 |
| frank | ohsix: will do, brb | 16:42 |
| maco | sukima: then "sudo apt-get update && sudo do-release-upgrade" | 16:42 |
| ohsix | porg: re component, yes; file the bug & give me the url then i will tell you how to blacklist it | 16:42 |
| terry | frank: I would first try setting the router back to factory defaults. | 16:42 |
| benzaldehyde | terry: i recall, but how often does one have 2 extra good cables, usually you have 3 cables when the first two have gone wonky | 16:43 |

| rumpel_ | milen8204, should be mentioned somewhere | 16:44 |
| porg | ohsix: I am asking for measures to fix this on my computer. By blacklisting I guess you mean something global (for all Ubuntu users). | 16:44 |
| bernz | codemagician: that is, "eog <name_of_pic_file>" | 16:44 |
| milen8204 | rumpel_, oo its montioned start end :D | 16:44 |
| ohsix | porg: no, just for you; until the bug is fixed, but you need to report the bug first | 16:44 |
| porg | ohsix: Sounds to me as if you want this module to get disabled for all users then!? I am not competent enough to cause this. | 16:44 |

| c1ean | is there a beta of ubuntu netbook edition? | 16:45 |
| c1ean | or should i just wait until the 18th or whenever natty is due oiut | 16:45 |
| ohsix | porg: assume you're the owner of unique version of your notebook and nobody else ever will | 16:45 |
| bernz | codemagician: also, tack on ampersand to get your prompt back (i consider executing and spawning to be two different things; spawning launches a process, and then returns to whatever you were doing) | 16:45 |
| porg | ohsix: Simply for didactic reasons? ;-) (Exchange: Your knowledge / my FLOSS participation) ? | 16:45 |
| ohsix | porg: as i'd like to see it fixed, you need to report it | 16:45 |
| Pici | c1ean: There is no netbook edition anymore. See the release notes in the topic of #ubuntu+1 | 16:45 |
| rumpel_ | milen8204, well.. as i said... if you want something more convenient, use gparted in system->administration (if its installed) | 16:45 |
| porg | ohsix: I see, you mean for the common good! ;-) | 16:46 |
| bernz | anyone know of a nice way to execute a command in response to a TCP connection being made? | 16:46 |
| benzaldehyde | frank: does ifconfig see it | 16:46 |
| milen8204 | rumpel_, I used it but I think there are less partition | 16:46 |
| porg | Can you nevertheless tell me how to blacklist it locally first, and i promise to file the bug later that day, when I have nerves for it. | 16:46 |
| ohsix | porg: that and its a real bug | 16:46 |
| terry | frank: Press the Reset Button and hold it down until the red Diag LED on the front panel turns on and off completely. THis iwll restore factory defaults and clear all the router's settings. | 16:46 |
| bernz | i noticed that compiz doesn't work over VNC (composited graphics aren't transfered), so i want to switch to metacity when a VNC client connects on a specific port | 16:46 |
| porg | Ok, which bugtracker is appropriate? | 16:47 |
| ohsix | porg: in my scenario theres no element of me needing to trust you; and launchpad.net | 16:47 |
| sukima | maco: I'm sorry to bother again. it said no new release found | 16:47 |
| ohsix | porg: you can try ubuntu-bug linux in a terminal if you want to try automatic filing, and if there is an appropraite category | 16:47 |
| frank_ | ohsix: okay, so here's what happened. I unplugged the USB, made sure the ethernet was the only thing plugged in, restarted the modem, then ran sudo mii-tool -F 10baseT-HD eth0 | 16:48 |
| maco | sukima: after changing it to normal and then doing apt-get update? | 16:48 |
| porg | ohsix: Nevertheless, all this has very little to do with my fan noise, nevertheless after 3 hours of talking i am still with the problem | 16:48 |
| c1ean | Pici: it's listed here though: 11.04 netbook: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/natty/beta | 16:48 |
| frank_ | ohsix: after I did, the computer still did not recognize the ethernet. The applet is still gry and says "Wire Network disconnected", however, I noticed that | 16:48 |
| maco | c1ean: you mean where it says "Ubuntu Netbook Edition and Ubuntu Desktop Edition have been combined into a single Edition called simply "Ubuntu" (with no "Edition")." | 16:49 |
| ohsix | porg: your computer/cpu might run in the 30s after your hd cools down ... | 16:49 |
| frank_ | ohsix: the PC Activity light on the cable modem came on and started blinking, which only happens when there is a connection. I also opened Network Tools, selected Aut0 and it said it was active | 16:49 |
| c1ean | oh i see | 16:49 |
| c1ean | Ubuntu Netbook Edition and Ubuntu Desktop Edition have been combined into a single Edition called simply "Ubuntu" (with no "Edition"). | 16:49 |
| webPragmatist | with ufw can i specify an interface? | 16:49 |
| c1ean | Ubuntu Server Edition has been renamed to simply "Ubuntu Server" (again, the "Edition" has been dropped). | 16:49 |
| sukima | maco: Sorry how do I change it to normal? | 16:49 |
| c1ean | maco lol | 16:49 |
| ohsix | frank_: very informative; thank you | 16:49 |
| frank_ | ohsix: but the network manager still won't recognize the connection and says it's disconnected | 16:49 |
| c1ean | weird that it's still listed though | 16:49 |
| Pici | c1ean: Yes, thats why I pointed you there :) | 16:49 |

| codemagician | bernz, thanks | 16:50 |
| maco | <maco> sukima: /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades <-- modify that file to "normal" instead of "lts" | 16:50 |

| ohsix | frank_: are the modem lights on when you just plug it in and don't use mii-tool? | 16:50 |
| BluesKaj | frank , sudo dhclient eth0 | 16:50 |
| benzaldehyde | frank_: wish i knew your lan was not seen on the system, yeah, cable is probably alright | 16:50 |
| maco | sukima: big comment explains what different values for the variable mean, then at the end the variable is set to "lts" ...you need to change it to "normal" | 16:50 |
| bernz | codemagician: no worries, took me a bit to figure out the name when i was first looking, because its title bar is "image viewer" :-) | 16:50 |
| terry | frank_: You can test your nic by creating a connection between the laptop and the pc. Connect both to the router's LAN ports. On router do: ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.5 On the pc do sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.6 ; ping 192.168.5.5 #If it pings it works, if not you have a problem with NIC. | 16:50 |

| porg | ohsix: Regarding your recent comment: Would it be best if i give the laptop a little rest to have the chance to cool down, then resume, and see if that reduced HD access has effect on the fan? | 16:52 |
| sukima | maco: that fixed it | 16:52 |
| ohsix | porg: other, and its not a regression that you know of, and be sure to mention the message comes up every 5 seconds, and post part if your syslog with the message when you can | 16:52 |

| bernz | for anyone digging the log of this channel, here's what i discovered: there's no simple way to react to an incoming connection; essentially, you set up iptables to emit a line of recognizable trigger text to a log (e.g. syslog), and then tail that log (with -f) and grep/awk/etc for the trigger text (and launch your command) | 17:09 |

| ohsix | porg: ok | 17:12 |
| frank_ | ohsix: I've never had a problem before today. It's always plugged directly into the cable modem. It worked fine yesterday, then this morning there's a problem. | 17:12 |
| vivek200912 | larious: by the way which program? | 17:12 |
| ohsix | porg: in a terminal, sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-tosh-bt.conf | 17:12 |
| frank_ | ohsix: the only thing I can think of is, yesterday, I set up my LInksys router for about two hours so I could plug in my laptop, when I was done, I disconnected the router, restarted the modem, and plugged it back into the desktop (as it normally is) | 17:13 |
| frank_ | ohsix: and it worked fine | 17:13 |
| ohsix | porg: insert "blacklist toshiba_bluetooth" save the file and exit | 17:13 |
| frank_ | ohsix: then I woke up this morning and it won't see the ethernet | 17:13 |
| ohsix | porg: then run sudo update-initramfs -c -k all, and you're done | 17:13 |
| benzaldehyde | ping please | 17:13 |
| ohsix | frank_: i see | 17:14 |
| ohsix | frank_: tru sudo rmmod r8169 | 17:14 |
| ohsix | then sudo modprobe r8169 | 17:14 |
| porg | ohsix: Ran well. | 17:14 |
| frank_ | ohsix: should I disconnect hte USB before trying that? | 17:14 |
| porg | I will monitor syslog now closely | 17:14 |

| larious | I want to know if installing fresh Ubuntu on a system, Will java be included as a defaut? | 17:14 |

| larious | the program is Y | 17:15 |
| frank_ | okay i'll test it, brb | 17:15 |
| larious | Yf | 17:15 |

| larious | vivek200912: the program is YF | 17:15 |

| ray24 | my dictionary that came ubuntu isn't working/searching for definitions anymore | 17:18 |
| rodhash | ohsix: Thanks.. let me take a look | 17:18 |
| Polah | larious: OpenJDK is | 17:18 |
| leg3nd | larious, no you have to install it | 17:18 |
| leg3nd | larious, yea openJDK is but not JRE | 17:19 |
| ohsix | rodhash: it'll be night and day; you'll be surprised :] | 17:19 |
| Polah | OpenJDK JRE is, Sun Java 6 JRE isn't | 17:19 |
| frank_ | ohsix: A couple odd things happened. When I ran "rmmod r8169" while connected with USB, nothing happened. I disconnected USB, restarted modem, and ran it again with the ethernet plugged in | 17:19 |
| benzaldehyde | ohsix: you should tell frank that he ought to clone his computers mac address inside his router control panel | 17:19 |
| ohsix | frank_: there should be no output for rmmod | 17:19 |
| porg | ohsix: Of course i looked at the timestamps. The are live! tail -f /var/log/syslog | 17:19 |
| frank_ | ohsix: it said: "ERROR: Module r8169 does not exist in /proc/modules." Then I ran ifconfig and eth0 did not show up | 17:19 |
| larious | leg3nd: you mean I install JDk or Jre? | 17:19 |
| CrawfordComeaux | I need to install libsfml-audio1.5 in maverick, but only libsfml-audio1.6 is showing up in apt-get...how can I install the one I need? | 17:19 |
| ohsix | benzaldehyde: that is pretty irrelevant if his media settings are wrong | 17:19 |
| porg | ohsix: So, BT still is active. | 17:20 |
| frank_ | ohsix: though,t he PC Activity light on the modem was still on | 17:20 |
| leg3nd | larious, listin ti Polah he seems to know more then i | 17:20 |
| leg3nd | larious, *to | 17:20 |
| ohsix | porg: did you run sudo rmmod toshiba_bluetooth? | 17:20 |
| benzaldehyde | frank_: when you took your thing and setup the router the modem could be using the MAC of the router still, that you can get a usb connection could mean that it handles it differenyl than ethernet | 17:20 |
| ohsix | frank_: ok, and when you reloaded it and plugged the cable back in? | 17:20 |
| larious | Polah: dont understand you | 17:21 |
| porg | ohsix: No, not yet. You only told me about sudo update-initramfs -c -k all | 17:21 |
| Polah | larious: If you're just running Java programs, you want JRE. OpenJDK comes with 10.10 by default, Sun Java 6 requires the Canonical partners repository to be installed | 17:21 |
| ohsix | benzaldehyde: please, we're trying to diagnose something | 17:21 |
| ohsix | porg: well i told you about rmmod earlier; do it now | 17:21 |
| porg | ohsix: So is it ok now? Under the current state? | 17:21 |
| trism | guampa1: there is information on how to add support here https://wiki.kubuntu.org/SoundMenu and depending on the app someone may have already written a plugin, like for exaile here http://sunng.info/blog/2010/11/exaile-sound-menu-integration/ | 17:21 |
| porg | ohsix: ok. thx | 17:21 |
| Polah | larious: If you're not developing Java problems, you don't need the JDK | 17:21 |
| frank_ | ohsix: when I only had the ethernet connected, rmmod gave me the error above and eth0 didn't show up in ifconfig. It still did not recognize the connection, thought he PC activity light on the modem was blinking as it normally would | 17:21 |
| ohsix | Polah: problems :d | 17:21 |
| Polah | ohsix: What? | 17:22 |
| porg | ohsix: rmrod ran without returning anything, so seems to have worked. | 17:22 |
| porg | ohsix: next step? | 17:22 |
| frank_ | benzaldehyde: how would I correct that (sorry I didn' tnotice your PM till now) | 17:22 |
| ohsix | frank_: right, i mean after modprobe, rmmod, modprobe; plug cable in | 17:22 |
| larious | Polah: I am install this offline and I was ask to install it into /usr/java, but there is no directory called java in the usr directory | 17:22 |
| frank_ | ohsix: right now, the ethernet is still plugged in, but I'm connected with USB | 17:22 |
| ohsix | Polah: read what you said :D | 17:22 |
| guampa1 | trism: i was just getting to that link, i'll see if i can get the app integrated (pulseaudio global eq), just not very happy with the scheme, but thats other story. thanks a lot dude | 17:22 |

| benzaldehyde | ohsix: modprobe would make sense if it weren't working before | 17:23 |
| odio | cdavis: did you look in the home directory? | 17:24 |
| frank_ | ohsix: sorry, I'm a little confused. WHen I plugged hte USB back in, it picked up the internet connection with no problem. I never ran a "modprobe" command, only "rmmod r8169" | 17:24 |
| benzaldehyde | ohsix: it was working now it's not, so it must be someth he did | 17:24 |
| ohsix | benzaldehyde: no, it's not | 17:24 |
| frank_ | ohsix: at no time did it recognize the ethernet, though the modem seemed to get some PC Activity | 17:24 |
| porg | ohsix: Don't know whether there is a next step involved, but i can tell you that syslog now remains unchanged, BT finally shuts up ;-) | 17:24 |
| cdavis | odio: Yes, of both my local user and root. I did a find / | grep iseriesaccess_6.1.0-2.2_i386.deb and it found nothing | 17:24 |
| CreateISO | Hello. I extract the content of an Ubunto image. I just want to recreate the iso (bootable) of this content but if I try to install it it tells me "No bootable medium was found" | 17:24 |
| Polah | larious: Ohhh, you're that guy who couldn't install Sun Java because you were using some tunnelling thing or something ridiculous. There's /usr/bin/java to actually run the java programs.. | 17:25 |
| larious | Polah: I am install this offline and I was ask to install it into /usr/java, but there is no directory called java in the usr directory | 17:25 |
| odio | cdavis: gnome yes? | 17:25 |
| cdavis | odio: yes | 17:25 |
| ohsix | frank_: ok, modprobe r8169, plug the ethernet cable in; you missed that step :P (also see if it works, ie no usb) | 17:25 |
| ohsix | prog: you're all done, now check temps in a half hour | 17:25 |
| odio | cdavis: well try something simple open Places/search for files,,, File system and the name of the .deb package | 17:25 |
| frank_ | ohsix: sorry about that. Okay, I'll (A) disconnect USB, (B) run modprobe r8169, (C) plug in ethernet and see if it works? | 17:26 |
| Polah | larious: I don't know about manually installing Java. | 17:26 |
| ohsix | benzaldehyde: he's the second person i've seen with the media/negotiation problem, and the first to run the tests to check | 17:26 |

| cdavis | odio: yes, seems very strange | 17:26 |
| larious | Polah: Yah but in the site that I study http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml#selfextracting/ It want putting into the /usr/java | 17:26 |
| larious | Polah: but I found the java folder in /usr/share | 17:27 |
| Polah | larious: Hang on let me look at Sun Java on my serve. | 17:27 |
| ohsix | agronholm: good question, you probably will need to ask in a kde/qt user channel where there are users with dead keys, it's over my head at least (insofar i do not know why they would not be working, if its not a keymap with dead keys) | 17:27 |
| benzaldehyde | ohsix: second person to have it working fine one minute then not at all the next. seems unlikeyl but i will take your word on that | 17:28 |
| Polah | larious: Yeah I see no /usr/java. I can't help you, sorry. | 17:28 |

| agronholm | ohsix: it's apparently only a problem in a gnome environment | 17:28 |
| Polah | Truepurple: How else would you do it? | 17:28 |
| agronholm | and dead keys work fine in gtk apps | 17:28 |
| sipior | ohsix: that's a lovely expression. mind if i steal it? | 17:28 |
| agronholm | but if I press ¨ and a I am supposed to get ä but I only get ¨a | 17:29 |

| ohsix | rodhash: it does, but it wont do what bartab does by default, and bartab lets you unload tabs manually; and it will shade the tab, all things the one in ff won't | 17:32 |
| porg | ohsix: What shall we do now? | 17:32 |

| genii-around | larious: When you install a different java than the default, put it somewhere like where i told you. eg: usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/ or so. Then tell the system to use that instead of the usual one by adding it to the list of possible java choices. eg: sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java 1 tells there is a new possible java binary now in that /usr/lib/jvm path.

| BluesKaj | heh, I still have a usb hub somewhere too | 17:47 |
| benzaldehyde | Craig`: you bought a tv to pc, card? | 17:47 |
| Rb_ | is there anyone whose using 11.04 beta?? | 17:47 |
| fosterdv | What you trying to do Rb_ ? | 17:47 |
| benzaldehyde | Rb_: me | 17:48 |
| llutz | !11.04 | Rb_ | 17:48 |
| ubottu | Rb_: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not intended for production systems. | 17:48 |
| === mrmist_ is now known as mrmist | ||
| ohsix | BluesKaj: a hub is an old piece of kit that broadcasts anything recieved at any port, a switch learns mac addresses and sends them to the right port directly, fewer collisions and way less traffic for computers you don't really care about | 17:48 |
| Rb_ | i have a lost the sidebar ! how it back ? | 17:48 |
| Craig` | benzaldehyde: so i havent bought a card, only a sound cable, before i had the same setup (vga to vga and then a sound cable), though this time i needed a longer one so i've got dvi to dvi (which works fine) and a sound cable, though no sound is coming from it. | 17:48 |
| Sandoss | Hello | 17:49 |
| Sandoss | Anybody here who can help me with a problem with installing Ubuntu Netbook? | 17:49 |
| Pici | Rb_: Support for Natty is in #ubuntu+1, not #ubuntu | 17:49 |
| Craig` | benzaldehyde: http://www.logicsupply.com/images/photos/cables/RCAAudio_big.jpg is the cable | 17:49 |
| webb | Hi guys.. Anyone here care to help me with WEBMIN? | 17:49 |
| kamen | Sandoss: What's your problem with Ubuntu Netbook? | 17:49 |
| lrussell | hi | 17:50 |
| truepurple | Dang it, its downloading and installing a program, and I want it to stop, but its not respecting cancel or clicking the x | 17:50 |
| Sandoss | kamen: When I install it from a usb drive I get an error when selecting 'install alongside other OS' | 17:50 |
| monkeyD | does anybody know deepfreez, there is a linux alternative called ofris, but I am looking for a tool that is more editable, with other word where you also can unfreez your homefolder | 17:50 |
| benzaldehyde | Craig`: why would you want the sound from your tv to go to your computer? | 17:50 |
| truepurple | How do I stop a program? | 17:50 |
| lrussell | would ubuntu server run with a processor under 300 mhz? | 17:51 |
| lrussell | about 280 mhz | 17:51 |
| truepurple | Someone, please help me quick | 17:51 |
| ohsix | lrussell: it would be quite a slog, but yes | 17:51 |
| benzaldehyde | Rb_: join #ubuntu+1 | 17:51 |
| Sandoss | kamen: I select install now which gives me an error "An error occurred while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted.' | 17:51 |
| Craig` | benzaldehyde: i dont, i want the sound to go from my computer to my tv, fine a pc -> sound cablet hen. | 17:51 |
| Craig` | .. | 17:51 |
| lrussell | I meant 450 mhz | 17:52 |
| truepurple | How do I stop a program from installing? | 17:52 |
| lrussell | yes, it would work fine i would think | 17:52 |
| rodhash | ohsix: Just to let you and all know.. I just deactivated / reactivated the swap and it cleaned it up.. I'll try it when my SWAP takes lot of memory.. :) | 17:52 |
| truepurple | How do I stop a program from installing? | 17:52 |
| slarikan | slm | 17:52 |
| benzaldehyde | Rb_: they can help you with natty | 17:52 |
| kamen | Sandoss: Hmm, I see. You're trying to install a dual-boot system, right? Which partition are you installing Ubuntu on? | 17:52 |
| llutz | truepurple: sudo apt-get remove package | 17:52 |
| kamen | Sandoss: i.e., sometimes (especially on Macs) you'd need to install Ubuntu in the second partition, so that the MBR is still available for the "official" OS. | 17:53 |
| Pusluska | why won't http work on network cable when I can stream web-TV? | 17:53 |
| ohsix | rodhash: did you check with smem how much less memory it takes with adblock & bartab? | 17:53 |
| === Robin is now known as Guest19157 | ||
| rodhash | Anyone here knows if there's any problem deactivating / reactivating the swap? Does it harm my data or programs ? | 17:53 |
| truepurple | llutz: No, how do I stop it from installing in the first place?? | 17:53 |
| rodhash | ohsix: Yes, it was firefox | 17:53 |
| Sandoss | kamen: I'm just installing it on a win7 netbook, and I wouldn't have a clue which partition. I haven't changed anything to factory settings if that helps | 17:53 |
| kamen | Sandoss: Still, that shouldn't be giving you any trouble until you reboot after the installation. It sounds like you're having a problem with resizing partitions. Tricky. Is a clean install fully out of the question? | 17:53 |
| truepurple | llutz: Hurry please, else it will be too late | 17:53 |
| CarlFK | how do I tell what repo these are coming from? http://dpaste.de/oatE/ libjack-dev : Depends: libjack0 (= 1:0.118+svn3796-7ubuntu1) but 6:1.9.6~dfsg.1-3ubuntu2+fixes1~maverick2 is to be installed | 17:54 |
| manco | Hi people | 17:54 |
| benzaldehyde | Craig`: S-video can do picture and sound | 17:54 |
| Sandoss | kamen: If by clean install you mean erasing the disc, it is indeed out of the question as I only want it for sporadic use\ | 17:54 |
| ohsix | rodhash: i know, you mentioned that, i was just wondering if you did before & after and saw an appreciable difference | 17:54 |
| CarlFK | benzaldehyde: S-video can do sound? | 17:55 |
| Craig` | benzaldehyde: as can hdmi.. i'm not asking for alternatives i'm asking what's wrong. | 17:55 |
| prome | hello | 17:55 |
| prome | i have a network issue | 17:55 |
| Craig` | this has worked before but with different sound cable, so i dont know if it's the cable or what. | 17:55 |
| prome | internet connecting issue | 17:55 |
| kamen | Sandoss: Hmmm, yes, then it might be a bit more complicated. To be honest, I've only done dual-boot installs on an old PPC Mac. Wouldn't know what the issues can be on a Win7 netbook. Can anyone else chip in with some advice? | 17:55 |
| benzaldehyde | CarlFK: well maybe not sound, i don't remember | 17:55 |
| manco | hey prome, know someone who can tell me where can i find crash logs ? | 17:56 |
| lrussell | do you think a pc from 1996 with a 6gb main hd, 450 mhz processor,and a 1TB usb hd could run an ubuntu mirror? xD | 17:56 |
| maheanuu | what is the name of the ubuntu beginners channel? | 17:56 |
| prome | manco i didnt get u? | 17:56 |
| CarlFK | benzaldehyde: "S-Video carries standard definition video (typically at 480i or 576i resolution), but does not carry audio on the same cable." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svideo | 17:56 |
| aeon-ltd | maheanuu: just ask here.... | 17:56 |
| bamabige_ | join #gentoo | 17:56 |
| ohsix | manco: /var/log; the apport crash reports are stored in there too | 17:57 |
| prome | I am unable to connect to the internet through DSL. I can use it in Windows 7 easily. I use a Broadband PPPoe with an user name and password along with a service name. I have set up a DSL in ubuntu and I have placed the required user name and password there and I have also entered the service name in the field between the username and password. But it shows to be disconnected every time i try | 17:57 |
| prome | to dial the connection. | 17:57 |
| prome | I have also tried with the "sudo ppoeconf" command and "setpppoe 1.0 software" and failed. | 17:57 |
| sipior | lrussell: ram is likely the principal bottleneck. | 17:57 |
| lrussell | it has 384 mb of ram | 17:57 |
| manco | @prome: im also with a network issue, but it will crash/freeze the whole box.. i was wandering where i can find the logs for asking help in a more acurate way :) | 17:57 |
| maheanuu | I did several times and didn't get an answer, I am having a problem with media player trying to open any and all files and folders it is acting like file manager and I cannot seem to get out of this mode | 17:57 |
| nickor | is there website that shows ratings of ubuntu apps / games ? | 17:57 |
| prome | how to get the log | 17:58 |
| sipior | lrussell: the server install should run fine on that, depending on what sort of paces you want to put it through... | 17:58 |
| ohsix | nickor: software-center has ratings | 17:58 |
| prome | what is the command | 17:58 |
| benzaldehyde | Craig`: audio out seems to me that it would be just a matter of telling the audio where to go | 17:58 |
| prome | is it plog? | 17:58 |
| monkeyD | hey guys, nobody here who can help me ?:( | 17:58 |
| bonjoyee | prome: does "sudo pppoe-discovery" give any output? | 17:58 |
| prome | OK | 17:58 |
| sugoruyo | hi folks, anyone ever have trouble starting mysql on an ubuntu 10.10 server? | 17:58 |
| syrinx_ | !ask | monkeyD | 17:58 |
| ubottu | monkeyD: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:58 |
| prome | BUT I WILL BE Late | 17:58 |
| nickor | where are the ratings located ohsix? | 17:58 |
| wollex | re | 17:59 |
| manco | someone, im having a network issue, but it will crash/freeze the whole box.. i was wandering where i can find the logs for asking help in a more accurate way :) | 17:59 |
| ohsix | sugoruyo: no more than regular, could your database need repaiting/checked? | 17:59 |
| Seven_Six_Two | manco, /var/logs | 17:59 |
| monkeyD | syrinx_: do you know a system snap shoot tool, or a system freez tool for linux like deepfreez, but where you also can unfreez your homefolder or where you can make snapshot of your system and loead them when ever you want | 18:00 |
| lrussell | what is better for a server, xubuntu, or ubuntu server. | 18:00 |
| syrinx_ | lol | 18:00 |
| syrinx_ | monkeyD: no, but ill check google | 18:00 |
| manco | @762: thanks, should i look for some file in particular ? (i know its a wifi related issue, since it only crashes when im connectign or even with the wcard up) | 18:01 |
| ikonia | lrussell: both are fine | 18:01 |
| bonjoyee | lrussell: server..if you dont need the gui.. | 18:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | monkeyD, you want a backup solution? There are a bunch of ways. | 18:01 |
| maheanuu | being a beginner, I would very much like to find the Ubuntu beginners group on freenode | 18:01 |
| lrussell | I wanted the gui, easier to work with | 18:01 |
| sugoruyo | ohsix: maybe... how would i check? all i know how to do to check it is sudo service mysql status which says it's in "post-start/respawning" and a look at /var/log/mysql.err and .log shows them both empty | 18:01 |
| bluenemo | i have a black wallpaper and my text on my icons is also black. how to change it? | 18:02 |
| bluenemo | i want white text :) | 18:02 |
| manco | @762: thanks, should i look for some file in particular ? (i know its a wifi related issue, since it only crashes when im connectign or even with the wcard up) | 18:02 |
| bonjoyee | lrussell: then you could try ubuntu server+ lxde ...its way lighter than xfce... | 18:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | monkeyD, dd is a command line utility that you can use to create an image of a partition. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem | 18:02 |
| nickor | ohsix ive throughly explored the software center, it might be my bad eyes but I dont see ratings, is it possible I turned off the ability to see the ratings? | 18:02 |
| lrussell | how do i conbine them? | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | Craig`, if you have hdmi connected to your tv and don't have audio , in some cases the graphics card with hdmi also requires a connection from the soundcard out to the graphics card audio input , if so equipped | 18:02 |
| monkeyD | syrinx_: I didnt find something usefull, but I dont want to make an image of my partition | 18:03 |
| monkeyD | I want to lock my system | 18:03 |
| monkeyD | and unlock it if I want | 18:03 |
| monkeyD | syrinx_: do you know deepfreez ? | 18:03 |
| ruan | bluenemo: edit your theme? | 18:03 |
| ohsix | nickor: and my eyes might be colored by natty; if they aren't there in mav they're on the way :D | 18:03 |
| rodhash | Guys is there any way to highlight messages sent to me? I'm new in IRC and sometimes I got lost with too many messages | 18:03 |
| manco | @monkeyD> ctrl+alt+L ? | 18:03 |
| bluenemo | ruan, where can i find that? | 18:03 |
| ruan | bluenemo: right click desktop, change background, themes, customize | 18:04 |
| nickor | double reference i didnt get, thats rare | 18:04 |
| ohsix | sugoruyo: there are tools w/mysql to check the tables & the manual is pretty great, but if the logs are empty it could be any number of things | 18:04 |
| nickor | no edbian today :( | 18:04 |
| syrinx_ | monkeyD: yea, we had it at my high school | 18:04 |
| s3rr | i just chown 777 / and fucked everything up | 18:05 |
| ohsix | wow | 18:05 |
| s3rr | ssh wont even accelt connections | 18:05 |
| monkeyD | syrinx_: its a great tool, and you can choose with partitoons or folders you want to freez | 18:05 |
| s3rr | accept* | 18:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | monkeyD, well any normal user can't make system troubles, but if you want to create a template for new user directories (the only part that can give trouble), there is a skel directory somewhere. maybe /etc | 18:05 |
| syrinx_ | monkeyD: you could just lock your home folder | 18:05 |
| sipior | s3rr: time to consult your backups... | 18:05 |
| ohsix | monkeyD: what you're looking for can probably be done with lvm, or one of the filesystems with it built in | 18:06 |
| monkeyD | syrinx_: I want to lock all the folder and unlock my homefolder, with otherwords I want only be able to save files but nothing on my system | 18:06 |
| s3rr | sipior: no way to restore even with physical access to the server? | 18:06 |
| Craig` | BluesKaj: i said that hdmi would have worked.. i didn't say that i was using hdmi | 18:06 |
| sugoruyo | ohsix: there is another log file in /var/log/mysql/error.log which has some entries with today's date, but they're three hours ahead of current time, i'm worried it might have something to do with it | 18:06 |
| ruan | !language | 18:06 |
| ubottu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 18:06 |
| sipior | s3rr: sure. set every permission set by hand. have fun. | 18:06 |
| ohsix | s3rr: not completely | 18:06 |
| syrinx_ | *facepalm* | 18:06 |
| Craig` | as i said i have a pc -> tv sound card, showed in the link i provided | 18:07 |
| monkeyD | manco: what is ctrl+alt+L ? | 18:07 |
| ruan | ubottu, wake up | 18:07 |
| bluenemo | ruan, thank you got it | 18:07 |
| s3rr | awesome.. | 18:07 |
| sugoruyo | the server is hosted in a vm (host Ubuntu 10.10, guest Ubuntu Server 10.10, vmware) | 18:07 |
| lrussell | hi | 18:07 |
| lrussell | lol | 18:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | monkeyD, and if someone trashes their account, that's the logical place to have a template. | 18:07 |
| ohsix | s3rr: debsums might be able to do it, but i don't think so; you'd need to reinstall every package and manually fix hundreds of directories | 18:07 |
| lol | lrussell: yes? | 18:07 |
| ruan | ubottu: why are you sleeping :( | 18:07 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:07 |
| manco | Seven_Six_Two: which file should i look into on /var/log after a crash.. ? (i think is network related.. ) | 18:08 |
| Seven_Six_Two | monkeyD, what do you mean by "nothing on the system"? If you don't want system changes, don't do anything requiring root. | 18:08 |
| lrussell | how do i use rsync to mirror a ftp server, automaticly | 18:08 |
| ohsix | sugoruyo: it might, ntpdate a time server & try andget it close to real time | 18:08 |
| ikonia | lrussell: depends if your ftp site is anonymous | 18:08 |
| lrussell | and lol, bad name. | 18:08 |
| lrussell | it is anomas | 18:08 |
| lol | lol | 18:08 |
| ikonia | lrussell: just treat it as rsyncing a website then | 18:09 |
| hwilde | when using apt-get with --download-only option, is there a way to change the location where the files are downloaded? or to have them wrapped up in a nice tar file? (for when there are 100 dependencies) | 18:09 |
| ruan | lol: lol | 18:09 |
| lrussell | lol: lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol | 18:09 |
| === lol is now known as derp | ||
| ikonia | lrussell: please don't | 18:09 |
| === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam | ||
| ohsix | hwilde: you'd need to use -o to set one of the APT:: options, specifically the archive location | 18:09 |
| lrussell | ikonia: how do i make it automaticly download changes? | 18:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | manco, it depends on what you were doing. If your system crashed or froze, it could be logged elsewhere. try dmesg before reboot. look in /var/logs/messages in console, go to /var/logs and type ls -lrt most recent files should be at the bottom of the list. check them all | 18:10 |
| sugoruyo | ohsix: i have done that, the vm's clock seems to be pretty crappy for some reason... maybe 'cause i start/supsend it all the time | 18:10 |
| === derp is now known as eir | ||
| ikonia | lrussell: just set it to run on a regular basis, it will pickup the changes | 18:10 |
| lrussell | how though? | 18:10 |
| === eir is now known as derp | ||
| weecol | any i have help finding a work organisation | 18:10 |
| hwilde | ohsix, yes, -o to set options... any idea how which example? | 18:10 |
| ikonia | lrussell: crontab for running at a regular basis, and rsync is the tool to use | 18:11 |
| lrussell | im gonna use xubuntu | 18:11 |
| hwilde | ohsix, I need to just download the .debs and move them to another machine without internet, but this one has about 100 dependencies... | 18:11 |
| syrinx_ | for a server? | 18:11 |
| ohsix | sugoruyo: maybe, ntpdate should be ran on resume if its really bad, and ntpd in between | 18:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | manco, hard disk troubles can do bad things for you too, but might only appear when you're downloading (trying to write to bad drive) | 18:11 |
| ikonia | lrussell: that's fine, xubuntu is fine | 18:11 |
| Wobs | Anyone got a second to answer a quick question? I am installing Ubuntu for the first time ever because I keep hearing from friends how awesome it is. I have this weird problem where the installation get's stuck at "updating the list of avalible packages" :| | 18:12 |
| ruan | hwilde: download em all and dpkg *.deb | 18:12 |
| lrussell | is there a tutorial anywhere that can guide me through setting up the server, rsync, and everything | 18:12 |
| ohsix | hwilde: you might try this instead of doing it manually http://keryxproject.org/ | 18:12 |
| syrinx_ | Wobs: is your internet plugged in? | 18:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Wobs, did you opt to connect during the install, or after the reboot? are you on wireless? | 18:12 |
| ikonia | lrussell: tons of info on the web, and "man rsync" for the options | 18:12 |
| === skaet is now known as skaet_afk | ||
| manco | Seven_Six_Two: yes, it will crash/freeze completly (not only GUI, but console also) so no dmesg aviable before reboot. I narrowed it to a network issue, Only while connected via Wifi.. not ethernet, nor with wifi card down... | 18:12 |
| sugoruyo | ohsix: i might just set up ntpd and not supsend but poweroff instead | 18:12 |
| arosen | Hello, I'm running 10.04 and right now I'm getting the following error message on boot up. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) Any idea's how to fix this? | 18:13 |
| lrussell | ikonia: what is "man rsync" | 18:13 |
| monkeyD | Seven_Six_Two: ok here we go :) well, deep freez is a tool that creates a "copy" of your system but you dont notice it, you can choose a partition that you want to freez, for exampe c:\, if its freezed I can delet all folders, put a virus on it and make any bad things with it that you can imagine, after a reboot you will get the same system that you freezed, because it deletes the virtual copy of your system and creates a new one, but other par | 18:13 |
| ikonia | lrussell: a command to see the options for rsync | 18:13 |
| sugoruyo | ohsix: for now i just need to get mysql back up so i can get on with things... | 18:13 |
| lrussell | oh | 18:13 |
| syrinx_ | lrussell: man is the manual | 18:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | manco, do any keyboard lights flash when it freezes? | 18:13 |
| ohsix | hwilde: as for the option, i'd have to look it up too, but its in the apt documentation | 18:13 |
| Wobs | Seven_Six_Two: It checked my internet connection at the start and said everything was ok. I keep waiting for a timeout to happen or something, but it ain't :| | 18:13 |
| lrussell | is rsync automaticly installed on xubuntu | 18:13 |
| monkeyD | Seveas: I know ofris but it freezes your whole system :( | 18:13 |
| ohsix | sugoruyo: i can't offer much more, i haven't used mysql in some time | 18:13 |
| ikonia | lrussell: if not, it's easy to install with the package manager | 18:14 |
| manco | Seven_Six_Two: yes, bloqnum does blink.. | 18:14 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Wobs, it might be that there is a server issue. I know that Waterloo (canada) had hardware issues recently | 18:14 |
| rodhash | Guys what IRC client do you suggest me? Actually I'm using pidgin | 18:14 |
| lrussell | ok, thanks for all the help! :D you guys are the greatest. im a linux newbie. | 18:14 |
| Wobs | Seven_Six_Two: Would it not time out thought? been like this for about 15 minutes, should I just pull the internet plug and hope it times out? | 18:14 |
| manco | roadhash: im using xChat... quite pleased.. | 18:14 |
| ohsix | rodhash: irssi, grit your teeth and bear it | 18:14 |
| Seven_Six_Two | manco, I'm not sure what bloqnum is, but if it's caps lock, scroll lock, or num lock, then you are likely having a kernel panic. Bad driver. | 18:15 |
| rodhash | hehe | 18:15 |
| rodhash | thanks | 18:15 |
| ohsix | rodhash: it's a workhorse, and you can screen it | 18:15 |
| sugoruyo | ohsix: i was wondering if perhaps you (or someone else reading this) might be able to point me to a way to monitor mysql's startup process to see where it hangs | 18:15 |
| Wobs | ohsix: What ya mean grit your teeth? Irssi is awesome, alternatively you can use quassel | 18:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Wobs, can you go back? | 18:15 |
| BluesKaj | Seven_Six_Two, I'm on the Waterloo repos ...haven't had a prob so far. | 18:15 |
| rodhash | ohsix: Does it accept other protocols like msn, xmpp, etc? | 18:15 |
| ohsix | Wobs: it is, but theres a learning curve not present with things other people would suggest | 18:15 |
| Wobs | Seven_Six_Two: It's stuck on "installing the base system" 73% "updating the list of available pacakges" i did a disk check and this is hte second tiem trying | 18:15 |
| lrussell | is there a good vnc server for xubuntu, it will be my only way to change settings on my server | 18:15 |
| monkeyD | Seven_Six_Two: so any ideas ? | 18:15 |
| iceroot_ | rodhash: irssi is not what you are looking for i guess (but its the best client out there) i guess you want a gui client like xchat | 18:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | BluesKaj, oh, then they're fixed. that was a few days ago | 18:15 |
| ohsix | rodhash: no, but you can use bitlbee & connect to it like an irc server | 18:16 |
| rodhash | ok, let me try | 18:16 |
| monkeyD | Seven_Six_Two: I heared that there is a snapshot tool for linux | 18:16 |
| sipior | monkeyD: LVM2 gives you that sort of functionality (filesystem snapshots) | 18:16 |
| manco | Seven_Six_Two: sorry, i was looking a spanish keyboard, yes, its Num lock. Kernel panic.. ok.. so that should be on the kern.log right ? | 18:16 |
| s3rr | sipior: false alarm, got into shell after a reboot. looking at history i did: sudo chown 777 -r / | 18:16 |

| Dice-Man | i believed the sudo cmd was prohibed | 18:17 |
| lrussell | im still here... xD | 18:17 |
| catphish | is there any way to delay the start of sshd a little? | 18:17 |

| Travis-42_ | Empathy is telling me that the facebook certificate is "self-signed" Has anyone else noticed this? Or might something fishy be going on? | 18:17 |
| Wobs | Seven_Six_Two: I will just try pulling the internet wire :p | 18:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | manco, a panic might happen before a log write can happen. look at the most recent logs, esp kern.log and I think the otherone is messages. I thought there was a kernel oops log. | 18:18 |
| manco | catphish: you can use de "wait" command.. | 18:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Wobs, are you 100% sure it's not working? it might take a while | 18:18 |
| ohsix | catphish: it should depend on networking being up first, how are you starting networking & sshd, letting the init scripts do it? | 18:18 |
| fosterdv | Question, does anyone know of any good methods to make the logs rotate? | 18:18 |
| llutz | fosterdv: logrotate ;) | 18:18 |
| catphish | ohsix: manco: i'm using upstart | 18:18 |
| ohsix | fosterdv: they already rotate | 18:19 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Wobs, can you get to a terminal? Alt+ctrl+F1 | 18:19 |
| catphish | and it seems that even though sshd depends on networking, it runs too soon | 18:19 |
| ohsix | sugoruyo: you could try starting it manually | 18:19 |

| Seven_Six_Two | Wobs, sorry, I have to go to school. If it's downloading it might take a while. see if you can open a terminal and make sure you have an ip and that you can ping. if you can, I'd give it a while longer than that. It's downloading everything that is newer than what's on the disc | 18:21 |

| ohsix | hwilde: those files are in /etc/apt/sources.list(.d) | 18:21 |

| fosterdv | ohsix: currently, my logs aren't rotating.. my logs are the same logs that I started with in November, and all new entries are appending to them | 18:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Wobs, what version are you installing? Where did you get the cd? | 18:22 |
| Wobs | Seven_Six_Two: Weird if it has frozen at the exact spot 2 times in a row. I cna't get to terminal seems frozen | 18:22 |
| ohsix | fosterdv: hm odd | 18:22 |
| manco | Seven_Six_Two: will search those logs.. thanks a lot | 18:22 |
| catphish | seems the solution was to set "start on started network-interface", "start on started network" didn't work | 18:22 |

| Seven_Six_Two | Wobs, does Alt+ctrl+F1 do anything? | 18:22 |

| Seven_Six_Two | manco, no problem. | 18:23 |
| fosterdv | ohsix: no sir, I haven't made any changes.. but, would I look there to make changes? | 18:23 |

| fosterdv | ohsix, okay.. I'll look into that. Thank you. | 18:23 |
| ohsix | fosterdv: do you want to rotate by date or size? default seems to be size | 18:23 |

I still think Linux cannot optimally handle the fan... | 18:53 |

| porg | ACPI -- law -> OS --> OS monitors its activities, gets sensor readings, concludes best ACPI settings, sends them --> ACPI runs input through "emergency treshhold". If the "law" is contradicted it intervenes, else it takes the OS control data and implements it into reality. | 19:31 |

| ohsix | neverblue: well you can't be sure they wont find something to do with aptitude that would allow them to execute arbitrary commands; it's a catch22, you basically have to trust them anyways, trust but verify | 19:44 |

| porg | ohsix: Just came to my mind ;-) | 19:47 |
| neverblue | jmd, find the issue | 19:47 |
| ohsix | jmd: the only answer to that question as it was asked is to reinstall it | 19:47 |
| ohsix | or throw it out, if a computer malfunctions in the woods is it messed up? | 19:48 |
| jmd | ohsix, Then I'll rephrase it. How to I recover from a messed up ubuntu system without reinstalling it? | 19:48 |
| red2kic | It all depends on how you messed it up in first place. | 19:48 |
| ohsix | jmd: well that' doesn't help your question, important information like how it got messed up is appropriate | 19:48 |
| jmd | ohsix, I thought I explained that. I did an upgrade. | 19:49 |
| Osmodivs | I know Ubuntu 11.04 is in abeta state, but, is it safe to upgrade now, I mean, it doesn't come with fatal bugs or something that can damage my sys? | 19:49 |
| ohsix | jmd: oh that was 30 minutes ago | 19:50 |
| ohsix | jmd: you won't be able to downgrade as easily as you will be able to fix whatever is keeping the update from finishing | 19:50 |
| jmd | So how do I do that? | 19:50 |
| Dueli | ohsix, I copypasted everything heres what I got: http://paste.ubuntu.com/589383/ | 19:51 |

| erUSUL | leapy0yo: the $ is special in a regex... do you want it to be taken literally? also are you sure what * means in a regex? | 19:53 |
| ohsix | -i works here, might be because i've got a variant, my mistake | 19:54 |
| red2kic | ayrus: -a will tell everything. | 19:54 |
| erUSUL | Darael: report it as regression in the kernel... | 19:54 |
| ohsix | Dueli: who knows, and it's often not just like that; you can try e2fsck to sidestep the kernel oops during log playback | 19:54 |
| Darael | erUSUL: Will do. | 19:54 |

| xiamx | mgolisch, manage.py has -rwxr-xr-x | 21:51 |
| kruk | Ubuntu Studio 8.04 | 21:51 |
| maco | JernejL: no, kernel upgrades require a reboot to take effect, so if you have uptime worries, read the changelog and see if the changes even apply to you | 21:51 |
| mgolisch | xiamx: is that user the owner? id asume it actualy need r to read the python code | 21:51 |
| xiamx | mgolisch, cherokee is the webserver, the owner is my nickname | 21:52 |
| terry | waynerr: It is the same with desktops. | 21:52 |
| maco | JernejL: for example https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.35-28.50 shows it's mostly changes to EeePC support with a graphics driver change and one change to Xen. so if you're on a non-Xen server, you don't actually need the upgrade and so don't need to reboot | 21:52 |
| JernejL | it is giving me high performance timing problems | 21:52 |
| souheil | hi | 21:52 |
| JernejL | is there a way to check times whenever server was booted up? | 21:53 |
| kruk | loads only the initial and validating partition | 21:53 |
| xiamx | it's really frustrating.. idk why even i set the file premission to 777 , it gives the same error anyway | 21:53 |
| maco | JernejL: the"uptime" command | 21:53 |
| Starminn | terry: Although because there is a lot of user interaction and more applications, there is greater potential for something to go wrong in server vs. desktop (Murphy's Law) | 21:54 |
| JernejL | no | 21:54 |
| JernejL | i need previous times when server was booted up | 21:54 |
| Starminn | terry: But still more stable than Windows OS, yes. | 21:54 |

| j_ayen_green | what's a good cli ftp package that will let me easily create ftp logins pointed to a particular directory? | 22:04 |
| ActionParsnip | skomorokh: remove the ppa after you install so your upgrades don't get pulled down | 22:04 |
| skomorokh | ActionParsnip: I want to upgrade it when new versions are released. That is exactly the problem---firefox-4.0 becomes firefox. Which would be fine, I just apt-get install firefox-3.6 ... except firefox-3.6 is actually some weird alias for firefox-4.0 instead of an actual package. | 22:05 |

| ActionParsnip | or arora :D | 22:16 |
| Jon-- | ActionParsnip, Is chromium-daily more recent than google-chrome-unstable? | 22:16 |
| Jon-- | I guess it must as google's package is not updated daily. Quite often still. | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon--: its a daily build, compiled by a bot once a day. It has lots of bleeding edge features which are being considered for the stable. fun times | 22:17 |
| Jon-- | Interesting | 22:17 |

| Jon-- | You're .012 sub-sub versions ahead of me | 22:18 |
| Jon-- | I'm so behind :O | 22:18 |
| neverblue | erUSUL: so when I edit the config, save, the changes should be applied on my next connection attempt | 22:19 |
| rood | like, if someone tells me to "forward port 5900" what are they telling me to do? | 22:19 |
| hachre | neverblue: all you can do is kill the current clients | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Jon--: sure but mine gets updated on a literally daily basis :D | 22:19 |
| hachre | neverblue: yes | 22:19 |
| Jon-- | ActionParsnip, But yours doesn't have Google code that is only in Google chrome ;) | 22:19 |

| ActionParsnip | rood: it tells your router to allow connections on your WAN interface and be pushed through to the internal network as you setup. Without it the connection is simply dropped | 22:19 |
| Jon-- | Wait | 22:19 |

| hachre | Jon--: The integrated flash for example, or the PDF viewer are only in Chrome but not Chromium | 22:21 |
| Jon-- | Nailed it. ;) | 22:21 |
| ActionParsnip | red2kic: the bug reports in chromium get used and a snapshot made to make chrome (as well as them adding more tracking stuff if that stuff bothers you) | 22:21 |

| ActionParsnip | Malina: remember to MD5 test the ISO you download (probably explains missing files), but support is in #ubuntu+1 | 22:24 |
| maco | Jon--: i think the difference is in who builds the final product. official builds being Chrome, and unofficial-to-google ones being chromium | 22:24 |
| hachre | Jon--: Chromium is free, Chrome is not | 22:24 |
| Jon-- | hachre, Did Google start the Chromium project? This is the only thing I'm unclear on. | 22:24 |
| maco | Jon--: yes | 22:24 |
| Jon-- | Chrome is free, just not FOSS | 22:24 |
| hachre | Jon--: Yes | 22:24 |
| Jon-- | I understand now | 22:24 |
| Jon-- | Thanks | 22:24 |

| * Jon-- hopes Richard Stallman isn't here | 22:25 | |
| hachre | Jon--: True, but I didn't say those two things in the same sentence ;) | 22:25 |
| Jon-- | Haha | 22:26 |
| Starminn | speedxcore: Probably. You can on Windows and mobile devices so I'd say so | 22:26 |
| Jon-- | True :P | 22:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | speedxcore, I believe you can. I read about a new client for windows, so another distro shouldn't be a problem. | 22:26 |
| Jon-- | I gotta go eat, thanks for clearing the whole Chromium/Chrome stuff | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | speedxcore: i'd ask in their channels to check | 22:26 |

| speedxcore | ActionParsnip: ah you mean like that. | 22:26 |

| Malina | else, my ubuntu times have come to an end for a bit till either it is more modular, cusomtisable or altogether lockable :p | 22:27 |
| hwilde | anybody have insight with nvidia quadro 600? nvidia-xconfig bricks the system. I've tried installing all of the drivers. nvidia-settings says it's not in use, but it is. | 22:27 |
| Starminn | Malina: Those are shells so you'll keep GNOME2 | 22:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Malina, you can lock packages in synaptic, and there's also a file (don't remember where) that sets the "upgradable" flag | 22:28 |
| Malina | ok thank god | 22:28 |
| Malina | thanks Starminn Seven_Six_Two | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !pin | 22:28 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 22:28 |
| erUSUL | Eyes: 502433 | 22:28 |
| Malina | but pinning is just about priority isnt it? | 22:28 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 502433 in linux (Ubuntu) "Lucid: b43 fatal DMA error on Dell Mini 9" [Medium,Triaged] | 22:28 |
| erUSUL | Eyes: try with newer drivers ? « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-$(lsb_release -cs)-generic » | 22:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | that's what it's called. I once did a pinned downgrade against the advice of people in irc. I think that was etch->woody | 22:29 |
| Eyes | erUSUL: apparently this DMA error isnt uncommon hahaha | 22:29 |
| erUSUL | Eyes: no; not at all | 22:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Malina, pinning will stop a package from upgrading or downgrading, but isn't fun because of dependency hell | 22:30 |
| Malina | ye I thought with pinning, I would only set priority of which reps to use | 22:30 |
| jayant | hello everybody. Can somebody tell me which package provides the command "who" ? Thank you | 22:31 |
| Malina | like pinning 700 repo universe , 600 multiverse then multiverse would be preferred or aso | 22:31 |
| Malina | but as long as I can lock in synaptic or so, but will that lead to dependency hell as well? | 22:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Malina, it can be if you add a ppa but need to keep an older library that would otherwise update it. | 22:31 |
| Malina | ok Seven_Six_Two , so hmm, basically dep hell or leave ubuntu? | 22:32 |
| MK` | oh! I forgot. Does ubuntu have full ipv6 support? | 22:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Malina, it depends on what you try to keep, and what needs a newer version to work. The lower level the package you try to pin (like libc6) the more likely you'll have trouble. | 22:32 |
| Malina | gah.. well.. it was fun whilst it lasted.. great diustro but seems I will fall back to either squeeze or go rolling release but which is more modular (eg. arch) | 22:32 |
| Malina | ye but holding back unity / G3 surely to keep gnome 2 surely will be as you say | 22:33 |
| Malina | dep hell :/ | 22:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Malina, I'm sorry, I interjected and I don't even think I know what your issue is | 22:33 |
| Malina | unity isn't "terrible' but it just is too inefifcient a desktop layout for me | 22:33 |
| yuler | I want to move my /home to a different partition (same ext4 filesystem), but getting inexact copies using "diff -r". http://linuxmafia.com/faq/VALinux-kb/copying-directory-trees.html indicates the --sparse switch may be the reason. Can anyone clarify what that does and why I would or would not want to use it? Do I really need to copy all /home files over, or will some be rebuilt? | 22:33 |
| Fireblasto | add #ubuntu | 22:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Malina, only if the new packages are replacements for what you have. | 22:33 |
| Malina | no Seven_Six_Two , your advice is accurate | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Malina: just log into the traditional desktop. It is present in Natty.... | 22:34 |
| Malina | it is precsiely what I need to get a picture of to know if I a to hack in my new natty release and 'lock it down' or if im in worse trouble than i hoped | 22:34 |
| erUSUL | !separatehome | yuler | 22:34 |
| ubottu | yuler: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 22:34 |
| Fireblasto | add #ubuntu | 22:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Malina, if unity and g3 are just shells, it's likely you'll be able to keep your current desktop | 22:34 |
| Malina | ActionParsnip, oh? is it ? :$ jpw? | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Malina: yes, just log out of unity, then click username then choose the desktop from the session drop down. | 22:35 |
| GuyCanada | good god, is there a way to revert back to the interface from 10.10, just installed 11.04 beta and its fucking terrible | 22:35 |
| Malina | ah well, I mean ok I thought Gnome 3 was more than just | 22:35 |
| yuler | I've read psychocats page. It produced a difference with "diff -r", hence further research and IRC. | 22:35 |
| bazhang | GuyCanada, no cursing | 22:35 |
| GuyCanada | kk sorry | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Malina: you need to research before making such ridiculous statements | 22:35 |
| iceroot_ | GuyCanada: #ubuntu+1 | 22:35 |
| Malina | ah ok, so I can have unity AND gnome 3 (I knew I can have like the xfce kde etc but i thought unity was a spawn of G3 which would update gnome 2) | 22:35 |
| Malina | ActionParsnip, I just came in to ask, not to claim, and I didn't know :/ | 22:35 |
| Seven_Six_Two | GuyCanada, log out and log back in, choosing another desktop from the session dropdown | 22:35 |
| GuyCanada | kk | 22:35 |
| erUSUL | yuler: a difference means? a file not matching? copy that file again | 22:35 |
| Malina | I bnee truggling with a non OS comp for 2 days since I wiped my disk abnd the natty isos wouldnt install, thank you very much | 22:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Malina: so why the "i'm going back to squeeze" stuff then.... | 22:36 |
| Malina | no 'back to' | 22:36 |
| Malina | I been on ubuntuy fior 2 yrs | 22:36 |
| Malina | for* | 22:36 |
| yuler | erUSUL: hundreds or files | 22:36 |
| Malina | because I thought that I didn't have a choice to keep gnome which i have used for yrs ahead of unity, which I thought was a ubbuntu versiion of new gnome or something | 22:36 |
| Malina | and it sounded like if I wish to keep gnome 2 without unity I can get dep hell | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Malina: linux touts choice so taking it away would be against everything linux is | 22:37 |
| Starminn | Malina: By default, Natty will have the choice to use either Unity or "classic" (GNOME 2) | 22:37 |
| erUSUL | yuler: :( you used the exact command? the find cpio combo ? | 22:37 |
| Malina | GREAT Starminn , sorry I didn't have a feeling it was like that | 22:38 |
| Starminn | Malina: They're different, so it's okay. :) You can also use GNOME 3 if you'd rather, instead of one of those. | 22:38 |

| yuler | erUSUL: yes. After "diff -r", I notice the --sparse switch on cpio and found it may be why there is a difference, but being rather new, I'm not entirely certain. | 22:40 |

| === Guest53608 is now known as knightstalker | ||
| Seven_Six_Two | MK`, your home files won't cause the system to run out of space for important stuff like logs | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | MK`: easier backups, easier reinstalls as you just have to set the partition as /home and the settings are retained | 22:41 |
| red2kic | MK`: You never have to back up your home directory. | 22:41 |
| maco | red2kic: not true | 22:42 |
| Starminn | MK`: If you have to reinstall, your files will be preserved. | 22:42 |
| red2kic | MK`: Better advantage to have /home on different hard drive. :) | 22:42 |
| === knightstalker is now known as Guest56493 | ||
| MK` | Ah. | 22:42 |
| drozdak | any obenbox users in here? | 22:42 |
| red2kic | maco: Well, only if the hard drive failed. | 22:42 |
| maco | red2kic: using a separate partition is no guarantee against a disk failure. | 22:42 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MK`, that's the most important! you can reinstall and keep all of your personal files and settings and emails etc | 22:42 |
| drozdak | *openbox | 22:42 |

| Malina | braxton, how much memory (RAM) do you have? | 22:42 |
| braxton | Malina: What's the command for that? | 22:42 |
| Malina | for all 'modern' /new computers, 4 GB ram is pretty uch the minimum, so 64 is becoming a de facto arch more and more now in the desktop worold, whne that happens, those last pesky plugins will soon enough suddenly materialise ;p | 22:42 |
| Malina | braxton, ytype | 22:42 |
| Malina | top | 22:42 |
| FloodBot1 | Malina: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:42 |
| MK` | so / holds the base installation and /home holds all the configs for it? | 22:42 |
| maco | GuyCanada: compiz --replace | 22:42 |
| Fireblasto | add #ubuntu | 22:42 |
| erUSUL | yuler: it may be if you had many files with 0's if i am reading the cpio manual correctly | 22:42 |
| maco | MK`: /home holds per-user configs | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | GuyCanada: alt+f2: compiz --replace | 22:42 |
| braxton | Malina: I dont' have ytype installed. | 22:42 |
| MK` | ok | 22:42 |
| maco | MK`: systemwide configs are in /etc | 22:42 |
| GuyCanada | thanks guys | 22:43 |
| Malina | stop trolling braxton | 22:43 |
| Malina | ,,!,, | 22:43 |
| MK` | I wonder if I should separate them | 22:43 |
| MK` | I'll test it out on my other PC where I *just* installed Ubuntu | 22:43 |
| braxton | Malina: Do you want a screenshot? And no, I'm afraid I'm not a troll. | 22:43 |
| MK` | and /home is empty | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | MK`: yes, or you can have /home as just a folder in / | 22:43 |
| braxton | Malina: Just give me a second. | 22:43 |
| drozdak | ActionParsnip i have problem with hinting on openbox + xfce panel at ubuntu 8.04 | 22:43 |
| Malina | it's a bloody typo: | 22:43 |
| Malina | TYPE | 22:43 |
| Malina | top | 22:43 |
| Malina | in | 22:43 |
| Malina | console | 22:43 |
| FloodBot1 | Malina: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:43 |
| bazhang | Malina, stop that | 22:43 |
| Fireblasto | add #ubuntu | 22:43 |
| hwilde | braxton, type "free" how much memory does it say total | 22:43 |
| bazhang | Fireblasto, thats not how to add | 22:43 |
| LjL | Fireblasto: what are you trying to do? | 22:43 |
| ActionParsnip | drozdak: wassup? | 22:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MK`, separate home is definitely the way to go for a desktop. I do a separate /var for my server, for similar reasons | 22:44 |
| Fireblasto | bazhang and LjL, script going wrong, fixing right now actually | 22:44 |
| Fireblasto | don't panic ;) | 22:44 |
| bazhang | Fireblasto, okay | 22:44 |
| braxton | 2836232 k total. | 22:44 |
| MK` | This is a laptop, so can I get away with having them the same here? | 22:45 |
| drozdak | its the hinting i have it in any gtk apps but on openbox window decoration fonts doesnt semm to have it | 22:45 |
| leapy0yo | one of my external hard drive constantly spins down then up again. How can i fix that | 22:45 |
| yuler | erUSUL: I thought the same thing, seeing how there's a few unstarted torrents in /home/Downloads. Rather than clean /home to minimize zero stringed files, I just want to copy the files as-is and sort it out after I've mounted the new /home. | 22:45 |
| drozdak | its good on newer ubuntu installs but i dont wanna upgrade right now | 22:45 |
| braxton | Malina: Why does my RAM matter? | 22:45 |
| hwilde | braxton, what is your question? | 22:45 |
| MK` | actually... On the old PC I installed Ubuntu on an old harddrive. I think it'd be more wise to install /home and swap on the old HD (like, 10 years old) while putting /home on the younger one | 22:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MK`, yes. by laptop, I mean a normal machine for a normal user or 10 | 22:46 |
| MK` | er | 22:46 |
| Fireblasto | www.ubuntu.com | 22:46 |
| MK` | / and swap | 22:46 |
| MK` | ok | 22:46 |
| braxton | Well earlier I asked if there was a 64 bit version of ubuntu, which there is, and then Malina asked me how much ram I had. | 22:46 |
| Fireblasto | mhm | 22:46 |
| Fireblasto | good | 22:46 |
| Fireblasto | no reaction from the script | 22:46 |
| erUSUL | yuler: use another copying method? cp -a ? | 22:46 |
| hwilde | braxton, we answered your question now what do you want | 22:46 |
| DrekAlots | From the CLI and hafter setting up a PPTP tunnel what command can you use to verify the tunnel is up? | 22:46 |
| LjL | i can't get wireless (using network manager) working with my eeepc 901 at the moment, it's probably something i did, but i last used it long ago and right now i can't pinpoint what it is. can you help me troubleshoot? i'm on maverick | 22:47 |
| braxton | hwilde: I would like to have better performance and I think I would like to change to the 64 bit version, but I'm not sure if I should. | 22:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | yuler, if you just want a verbatim copy, that's what dd is for. | 22:47 |
| drozdak | ActionParsnip i propably just need a good copy of configuration file from newer ubuntu/openbox release for proper font hinting | 22:47 |
| MK` | Running ubuntu 64 with xchat and several instances of pidgin, I am currently at 588 MB ram | 22:47 |
| hwilde | braxton, 64bit version lets you use more ram. if you have a 64bit machine then go ahead and try 64bit version and more ram | 22:47 |
| Axlin | braxton: i think his/her mindset was that if you had, say, less than 4 GB of RAM, then there's not much need to worry about switching to the 64 bit version | 22:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | yuler, it will copy regardless of file states | 22:47 |
| erUSUL | LjL: you have wlan0 in iwconfig? can it scan? « sudo iwlist wlan0 scan » ? | 22:48 |
| Starminn | How can I tell if my machine is 64-bit compatible? | 22:48 |
| LjL | erUSUL: Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down | 22:48 |
| erUSUL | LjL: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: check your CPU architecture and see what it is, 64bit or 32bit | 22:49 |
| braxton | hwilde: Well, when I divided the total amount of memory I had in top by 1024, I got a non-integer, which is weird. | 22:49 |
| hwilde | braxton, you have 3Gigs | 22:49 |
| fennucci | Starminn, | 22:49 |
| fennucci | what kind of processor you have? | 22:49 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: I know that. :) I was just wondring where I could find that information ;) I don't think it is, as it's old, but I'm just curious. | 22:49 |
| MK` | XD I think I found a bug | 22:49 |
| red2kic | Starminn: Run "lscpu" | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | braxton: you can use: free -m to express it in Mb instead, easier to read | 22:49 |
| MK` | I checked the size of / and it says 128 TB. | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: well, what CPU do you have? | 22:50 |
| neverblue | anyone able to help me get my proftpd server running, I can connect, but the connection drops immediately ? | 22:50 |
| LjL | erUSUL: Operation is not possible due to RF-kill. now i remember i got this the other day and tried to mess with rfkill, and there is both an "eeepc-wlan" and a "phy5" Wireless LAN there, if that's of any importance. i also have eee-control installed (wifi is enabled on it), thinking that might be related. | 22:50 |
| Starminn | Architecture is i686, but CPU op-mode(s) are 32-bit and 64-bit. (What is an op-mode?) | 22:50 |
| red2kic | Starminn: You probably can use 64bit. | 22:50 |
| erUSUL | LjL: « sudo rfkill list all » output shows something blocked? | 22:51 |
| braxton | hwilde: So switching to 64 bit wouldn't help me at all? That sucks. | 22:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | how do I request a chanop? | 22:51 |
| Starminn | red2kic: Even though it's not an AMD64 architecture? | 22:51 |
| hwilde | braxton, espeically if your performance is not currently ram-limited. | 22:51 |
| LjL | erUSUL: yes, phy5 is soft blocked. | 22:51 |
| fennucci | is there anyway to setup a quick way to change screen brightness without going into the actual preferences panel? | 22:51 |
| Starminn | braxton: There's always PAE kernel | 22:51 |
| red2kic | Starminn: amd64 or intel64 or whatever64 is really samething. | 22:51 |
| braxton | hwilde: Well, for some reason I can't run minecraft and firefox at the same time. | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: yes thats the arch of ubuntu,what is the output of: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model | grep name | 22:51 |
| hwilde | braxton, try google-chrome | 22:51 |
| fennucci | how much ram you has braxton | 22:51 |
| braxton | hwilde: Well, I can, but with severe frame rate cuts in mft.inecra | 22:51 |
| fennucci | get more maybe | 22:52 |
| erUSUL | LjL: « sudo rfkill unblock all » or phy5 instead of all | 22:52 |
| braxton | *minecraft | 22:52 |
| maco | fennucci: 3gb | 22:52 |
| braxton | fennucci: I'm on a laptop. | 22:52 |
| fennucci | I have 8gb of ram, and a i7 and I can do like million things | 22:52 |
| red2kic | Starminn: AMD came up with cpu64 first so we name it amd64. | 22:52 |
| braxton | Starminn: What? | 22:52 |
| fennucci | me too | 22:52 |
| hwilde | braxton, get a desktop, get a better video card, duhh | 22:52 |
| fennucci | I heard there were issues with i7 and ubuntu? | 22:52 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: Oh. It's an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz | 22:52 |
| fennucci | I'm about to try installing ubuntu on my toshiba a505 | 22:52 |
| fennucci | with i7 | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: then its 32bit | 22:52 |
| fennucci | dual boot | 22:52 |
| Starminn | red2kic: I know AMD64 == 64-bit. :) | 22:52 |
| neverblue | my FTP client receives 'PORT command failed' | 22:52 |
| LjL | erUSUL: ok, network manager sprang to life. now i don't know whether this will happen again next time i boot, but at least i know how to solve it temporarily, thanks | 22:52 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: What gave it away? | 22:52 |
| maco | braxton: PAE= Physical Address Extensions ... it's a 32bit extension that lets > 4GB of RAM be addressed by the OS, but each program is still limited to 4GB | 22:52 |
| red2kic | Starminn: The worst scenario? The amd64 disc stopped you from installing because it's incompatible. | 22:53 |
| jjlee | I have an apple trackpad which worked fine for me some months ago. Now when I pair it I get a udev remove event a second or two right after the udev add event. Any idea what's causing that? | 22:53 |
| Starminn | !pae | braxton | 22:53 |
| ubottu | braxton: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: there are no 64bit P4s ;) | 22:53 |
| siti | hye | 22:53 |
| hwilde | braxton, here is the solution for you: get a desktop, get a better video card. end of story bro | 22:53 |
| braxton | hwilde: The problem occurs on chrome too, which now makes me think that the problem isn't related to the browser. | 22:53 |
| erUSUL | LjL: no problem. the least i can do for someone like you :) | 22:53 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: :) Aha. That would do it, haha | 22:53 |
| hwilde | braxton, minecraft is eating all your video card. | 22:53 |
| Belial`` | ActionParsnip, the Pentium DC is based on prescott which is a core for the p4. | 22:53 |
| MK` | When I boot Ubuntu I always get this error: "init: Failed to spawn smbd main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory" but it boots up properly. What causes this? | 22:53 |
| Phoenix_Silver | hi guys | 22:53 |
| red2kic | MK`: Samba. | 22:53 |
| Belial`` | ActionParsnip, or i'm sorry. DC is based on core duo, the D is based on the p4. | 22:54 |
| erUSUL | !find b43 | 22:54 |

| ubottu | Found: b43-fwcutter, firmware-b43-installer, firmware-b43-lpphy-installer, firmware-b43legacy-installer | 22:54 |
| red2kic | MK`: I don't know. Internet light? Do you have samba installed? | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Belial``: but that is all was outputted so its an old P4, maybe I was wrong about the 'all' bit :D, the cpuinfo points to a 32bit chip | 22:54 |

| iTails1 | Hello, I came in here yesterday to inquire on how to get my wireless working on my Acer Aspire D250. I tried some things and the wireless drivers still wont work. I've tried both of the proprietary drivers for Ubuntu. | 22:56 |
| red2kic | MK`: Ubuntu tried to start a process/service that does not exist. If Samba isn't installed, that's what occur. Either you ignore it or you remove the startup script or you install samba. | 22:56 |
| MK` | go to System > preferences > sound, in hardware check the speakers billy | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | b1lly: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh Thanks | 22:56 |
| MK` | I never installed Samba... hm. | 22:56 |

| red2kic | Phoenix_Silver: amd64 is for computer/laptop. | 22:57 |
| erUSUL | fennucci: to make them work ? | 22:57 |
| Phoenix_Silver | ho oki red2kic it's what i have installed :) | 22:58 |
| red2kic | MK`: That's Samba. People use it to share stuffs (with other computer locally). | 22:58 |
| fennucci | no | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Phoenix_Silver: you can install the 64bit on a lappy if you wish | 22:58 |
| fennucci | for instance my laptop has a wifi light | 22:58 |
| chadwin | hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii guys | 22:58 |
| MK` | Ah. Sounds useful | 22:58 |
| fennucci | blue is on red is off, anbd they are blinking | 22:58 |

| nono | this is a suck | 23:00 |
| MK` | Awesome | 23:00 |
| red2kic | !samba | MK` | 23:00 |
| ubottu | MK`: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 23:00 |
| red2kic | MK`: Here you go. :) | 23:00 |
| MK` | I was using xsmbrowser to access a windows share | 23:00 |
| MK` | maybe that installation added the smbd script | 23:00 |
| Phoenix_Silver | you can use ssh | 23:00 |
| red2kic | MK`: You can use Places --> Network | 23:01 |

| Starminn | !firewall | mr_orange_ | 23:23 |
| ubottu | mr_orange_: 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. | 23:23 |

| Somelauw | I think that when using ln the paths need to be absolute whereas I was symlinking a relative path. | 23:47 |
| pooltable | use acetoneiso | 23:47 |
| mouse | I have a concern with the linux/unix file system. With how file naming works and new software coming out everyday isn't it just a matter of time before one program installs it's files over another's and messes things up? For example two programs writing different executables to the same location with the same file name? That's obviously a rookie mistake but isn't that cause for concern? | 23:47 |
| yagoo | lmojzis, can u paste the source document to this site? (just the url) | 23:47 |
| terry_ | eshannon: Looks like sdd1 is mounted rw /dev/sdd1 on /media/2tb disk2 type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks), and so is sdb /dev/sdb1 on /media/232dd3b4-f56b-4007-ac29-3f9ca1fbc60d type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks), sdc doesn't seem to be mounted. So, you tell me why you can not write to them. Have you tried? | 23:47 |
| Jessica632 | errr... i just loaded ubuntu 10.??. Do I need VNC4SERVER or is there already a VNC server built in? Gnome remote desktop server? | 23:48 |

| kdub | mouse: the package manager can detect that, and its up to the package maintainers to resolve anything like that | 23:48 |
| pooltable | also | 23:48 |

| neverblue | yagoo, Phoenix: any other ideas ? | 23:49 |

| Pici | pooltable: Yes it is. | 23:49 |

| Pici | pooltable: It will be out on April 28th. | 23:50 |
| mouse | Jordan_U, Ah I didn't think of that. Still though that could end up being an awful large workload if it had to be done manually. | 23:50 |
| pooltable | pici ok thanks | 23:50 |
| neverblue | Phoenix_Silver: i can connect, but it drops the connection immediately. I am not able to isolate what the issue is exactly. How could I -see- it that is the issue ? | 23:50 |
| pooltable | pici and you run beta in VB ? | 23:50 |
| Jessica632 | does gnome remote desktop use or need vnc4server? Is it it's own VNC server? | 23:50 |

| pooltable | pici is the release always at the end ot the month i thought 10.10 was in the start of the month ? | 23:52 |
| yagoo | lmojzis, do u get "reset" in dmesg ?, try hitting the key.. then after in another tty do "dmesg" .. see if anything "reset" is related to the keyboard | 23:52 |
| Jessica632 | red2kic, so, is having vnc4server running as a process just redundant? | 23:52 |
| PatrickC_Ubuntu | sorry, i have another question... | 23:52 |
| Pici | pooltable: Usually, 10.10 was special, they wanted to do 10.10.10 | 23:52 |
