| roothorick | joepa: well, to recover anything, you need to boot the system... if there isn't a bootable OS on the hard drive, and you don't have an external media to boot from, you're SOL, *period*. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ZykoticK9 | joe75, assuming Grub2 this might help (i haven't looked at it carefully) http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2009/05/25/boot-an-iso-via-grub2/ | 00:00 |
| nerdshell | what's the difference between sudo su and sudo -i | 00:00 |
| nerdshell | what's the difference between sudo su and sudo -i ? | 00:00 |
| mello | is it possible to update to gnome 3 on ubuntu 10.10? and if so how do i do it? | 00:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | nerdshell, don't use "sudo su" -- it sets environment variables differently (i don't know the specifics) | 00:01 |
| roothorick | joepa: unless you're thinking of removing the drive and imaging a partition with a second machine, in which case, cut out the middleman and use the second machine to recover data directly | 00:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | mello, gnome-shell is broken in 10.10 (not possible due to some bug) | 00:01 |
| nerdshell | ZykoticK9: what do you mean sets environment variables differently ? | 00:01 |
| nerdshell | what's the difference between sudo su and sudo -i ? | 00:01 |
| joepa | roothorick: okay, good point, I'll do that | 00:01 |
| mello | ok ty ZykoticK9 | 00:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | nerdshell, it sets environment variables differently (that IS the difference) | 00:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | nerdshell, don't use "sudo su"... end of story really. | 00:02 |
| nerdshell | ZykoticK9: yes, I mean, in fact, how could this be dangerous ? | 00:02 |
| capleton | I'm trying to auto-mount two ntfs software-raid drives, in Nautilus they appear but I have to mount them manually, but in /dev/ they all appear as seperate drives :/ could someone help out? how can I auto-mount these ntfs arrays? | 00:02 |
| roothorick | I'm not an ubuntu guy, but sudo su seems kinda silly | 00:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | nerdshell, not up for debate. good luck. | 00:03 |
| mello | nerdshell: if u use man sudo in the terminal u can read what the -i command dose | 00:03 |
| roothorick | capleton: ntfs? software-raid? Wait, what? | 00:04 |
| roothorick | capleton: you can't be doing Linux MD RAID with NTFS, so... what RAID solution are you using? | 00:04 |
| capleton | :/ | 00:04 |
| capleton | it was the one that came with ubuntu server edition... if that's what you're asking | 00:05 |
| roothorick | capleton: so you seriously... NTFS in Linux MD RAID? Why? | 00:05 |
| capleton | the drives were already formatted witha bunch of data | 00:05 |
| capleton | I can mount and use them fine with Nautilus | 00:05 |
| roothorick | ...okay, I'm not following, maybe someone that knows ubuntu's idosyncracies will understand what's going on | 00:06 |
| capleton | hah, i hope. I think it has to do with /dev/mapper | 00:06 |
| capleton | ...maybe | 00:06 |
| capleton | idk | 00:07 |
| capleton | i'll be back | 00:07 |

| [deXter] | ZykoticK9: Thanks. :( | 00:11 |
| frank | ok | 00:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | [deXter], regarding lubuntu networking issue - you might want to ask in the #lubuntu channel (i'm not sure what, if any, network manager it uses). Good luck. | 00:12 |
| [deXter] | ZykoticK9: Thanks, but I figured it out.. 'connect automatically' wasn't checked for some reason. | 00:13 |
| === chris_ is now known as Guest16268 | ||
| capleton | Okay, I semi-figured out the situation, the raid is mapped under /dev/mapper/nvidia_adf1 etc. But now I don't know whether to use regular mount or ntfs-3g | 00:16 |
| capleton | What would be the difference between using regular mount and ntfs-3g? | 00:16 |
| ayecee | capleton: what's the regular mount? | 00:16 |
| ayecee | capleton: you should usually use ntfs-3g | 00:17 |
| capleton | just using sudo mount, idk | 00:17 |
| === Guest16268 is now known as Chr|s | ||
| capleton | kkk | 00:17 |
| ayecee | ntfs-3g is read/write, the kernel ntfs driver is read-only. | 00:17 |
| capleton | oh i c | 00:18 |
| ayecee | ntfs in theory offers slightly higher performance, but in practice you'd rarely notice the difference. | 00:18 |
| ayecee | rather, the read-only in-kernel ntfs driver does. | 00:18 |
| capleton | okay. Now i've gotta find a good fstab tut :/ | 00:18 |
| ayecee | or maybe a manpage | 00:18 |
| capleton | good call :) | 00:19 |
| deshymers | if I'm logged in to my pc with my gui and leave it and go into single user mode, is there a way to go back? or do I jsut ahve to reboot? | 00:19 |
| ayecee | deshymers: how did you go to single user mode? | 00:20 |
| deshymers | control + alt + F1 | 00:20 |
| ayecee | ah. that's not single user mode. that's just a virtual terminal. | 00:20 |
| deshymers | ahh ok | 00:20 |
| ayecee | hit alt-f7, usually. | 00:20 |
| ayecee | since X is usually on the 7th virtual terminal | 00:21 |

| GatunoRox | hello | 00:22 |
| GatunoRox | can someone give me suppor with grub problems on USB HDD | 00:22 |
| GatunoRox | ? | 00:22 |
| ayecee | GatunoRox: only if you describe the problems. | 00:23 |
| GatunoRox | hello ayecee | 00:23 |
| GatunoRox | here's the deal | 00:23 |
| bluenemo_ | can i chroot into ubuntu from a debian live stick? | 00:24 |
| GatunoRox | I've installed ubuntu on an USB HDD, full install 640GB ext4, without any internal hard drive sou grub wouldn't install anywhere other than the HDD, and oh well, works like a ccharm on the compute i used to install | 00:24 |
| ayecee | it's good to know that the deal is coming, that way i can prepare to receive the deal. | 00:24 |
| ayecee | bluenemo_: i don't see why not | 00:25 |
| bluenemo_ | ayecee, cool thank you | 00:25 |
| GatunoRox | yet, when I use ito to try and boot on my laptop computer or on my other pc, all I get is either grub rescue or black screen with type cursor flashing | 00:25 |

| ayecee | GatunoRox: it could be your laptop bios doesn't handle booting from such large usb devices. Maybe there's a bios upgrade available for the laptop? | 00:27 |
| MrBushido | what tool would i use to create partitions with? | 00:27 |
| ayecee | miles__: dd if=internaldevicename of=externaldevicename | 00:27 |
| ayecee | MrBushido: fdisk | 00:27 |
| * MrBushido facepalms | 00:27 | |
| GatunoRox | it didn't have any prroblem on my previous install, though | 00:27 |
| MrBushido | ayecee: thanks | 00:27 |
| armor-64 | ;miles__nope i don't know if somethink like this exist in ubuntu!try norton ghost | 00:27 |
| miles__ | ayecee: thanks | 00:28 |
| miles__ | armor-64: norton ghost is for windows | 00:28 |
| ayecee | GatunoRox: perhaps the boot files were placed in a different location on this try, further into the disk. If there's an option to create a boot partition first on the disk, that'd probably fix it. | 00:28 |
| bluenemo_ | MrBushido, use gparted, its veeery simple. sudo apt-get install gparted && gparted | 00:28 |
| ayecee | MrBushido: gparted probably does a better job of it though, if you're within a gui | 00:29 |
| armor-64 | miles__:have you try it? | 00:29 |
| ayecee | armor-64: several program like that exist in ubuntu. | 00:29 |
| miles__ | armor-64: why mess up with wine to get a program working, while ubuntu has the same commands built in | 00:29 |
| armor-64 | ayecee: can you tell me one of them(a good one) | 00:30 |
| shcherbak | armor-64: dd | 00:30 |
| armor-64 | miles__: i am no messing a wine into this!a bootable ghost exist(i am using one of this and it's good | 00:30 |
| ayecee | armor-64: ghost is also commercial software, so one would have to go out and buy it. | 00:31 |
| dotblank | using dd is not idea.. as it will copy pointless portions of the disk | 00:31 |
| dotblank | including the "free" space | 00:32 |
| armor-64 | ayecee: have you try piratebay(i downloaded a pirated edition) | 00:32 |
| dotblank | I would use a tool like ntfsclone | 00:32 |
| fisix | reinstalled openoffice. it now has a seemingly ugly gui, like windows 98 style. wat happened.. | 00:32 |
| ayecee | armor-64: it is not polite to pirate other peoples' work. | 00:32 |

| ayecee | dotblank: that's sensible for ntfs partitions, at least :) | 00:32 |
| ayecee | dotblank: there's probably similar tools for other filesystems | 00:33 |
| armor-64 | ayecee: i know sorry but i don't have much money(if ubuntu have a program like tha then i will instal it) | 00:33 |
| dotblank | well its easier on linux you could just do a loopback mount then cp and use archive mode | 00:34 |

| === fred_ is now known as Guest84647 | ||
| ayecee | dotblank: myself, I find it easier to use dd and then gparted to resize, even if it's more time consuming. it's not like I'm sitting there waiting for it. | 00:35 |
| armor-64 | ayecee: around 60euros or more(i live in greece so imagene with the crisis we have here how it will cost) | 00:35 |

| ayecee | armor-64: money must be very tight for you, but I suspect you merely have other things you'd rather spend money on. | 00:36 |
| shcherbak | armor-64: abs is totaly free, in some way you could write own custom solution. | 00:37 |
| dotblank | ayecee, for what type of images? ntfs images? | 00:37 |
| ayecee | dotblank: plus, most of the time when I'm cloning, I'm doing it because the data is damaged, so recovering the (maybe) free space is useful. | 00:37 |
| dotblank | or ext2/3/4 | 00:37 |
| ayecee | dotblank: any kind. also including bootloader. | 00:37 |
| dotblank | ayecee, Yea for use with computer forensics I would use dd | 00:37 |
| armor-64 | ayecee: i help my family with the financial problems so no money for pc :( | 00:37 |
| ayecee | or data recovery, yeah | 00:38 |
| dotblank | but if I'm distributing a network image i wouldn't use that | 00:38 |
| ayecee | dotblank: true enough | 00:38 |
| armor-64 | shcherbak: what do you mean? | 00:38 |
| dotblank | its a 1 time occurrence then dd is fine but after the 4th image using dd you look elsewhere | 00:38 |
| shcherbak | ubottu: tell armor-64 about abs | 00:38 |
| ubottu | armor-64, please see my private message | 00:38 |
| ayecee | heh. abs. what a horrible name for a linux program. | 00:39 |

| pooltable | how do i fix the audio sync mkv file? | 00:39 |
| shcherbak | ayecee: it is guide. | 00:39 |
| ayecee | miles__: you know that you have to replace internaldevicename with an actual device name, yes? | 00:39 |
| miles__ | Ayecee: should i be naming their factory names or their set names. | 00:39 |
| ayecee | miles__: likewise with externaldevicename ? | 00:39 |

| ayecee | ejay: using gparted on the ubuntu livecd. | 00:47 |
| pooltable | dotblank i have vlc it was still off | 00:47 |
| dotblank | ejay, ubuntu should detect your windows instalation and allow you to install it along side it | 00:48 |
| ejay | ok, that's what i heard. how do i use it? | 00:48 |
| dd214 | Spoog thnx, but IMAP does not appear to be supported on the Exchange server I'm trying to connect to... at least when I telnet domainXXX 143 I'm getting a connection refused err. | 00:48 |

| dotblank | pooltable, ok.. yea avidemux is your friend | 00:48 |
| ayecee | ejay: I mean, aside from the obvious steps of 1) boot livecd 2) run gparted from livec | 00:48 |

| Starminn | shcherbak: Thanks | 00:49 |
| ejay | i understand that but i mean use the program | 00:49 |
| ayecee | ejay: then you'd use the slider to resize the partition, and then apply the changes, and then gparted makes the changes. it's sometimes time consuming. | 00:49 |
| dotblank | ejay, I personally like the new disk manager and prefer it to gparted | 00:49 |
| pooltable | dd214 were you in the US service ? | 00:50 |

| ejay | yea | 00:50 |
| shcherbak | armor-64: To copy system (does someone expect copy to be bootable?), for raw data: i would use fdisk (or gpated) to copy partition, and gzip/find to copy directory tree and then gzip/find to fill it with files (and report), or just use dd (best if drive is failing) | 00:50 |

| Guest70696 | is there anyplace to report "bugs" at the ubuntu.com website? (I noticed a couple of bad links, and some buttons that did nothing.) | 01:11 |
| dotblank | jeeves_, there can be many reasons.. it could be a router is filtering traffic or the server doesn't have a default gateway | 01:11 |
| dotblank | also the router could be dead.. or the server could be off etc | 01:11 |

| jeeves_ | I have a cisco router connecting my 2 subsnets (internal). I can ping other boxes from one subnet to another (192.168.1.0/24 --> 192.168.2.0/24, and back again), but I can't hit the server. I KNOW the port is working (since it's serving up DNS, e-mail, etc to the external clients | 01:12 |
| ayecee | biborn: that's how you described it.. | 01:13 |
| dotblank | jeeves_, this is off topic for ubuntu.. I would take it into #cisco | 01:13 |
| deadduck | ayecee: ok what can i do to be sure? i would really not have the time to do it manually... i am currently using Transmission 2.00b2 (10722) | 01:13 |
| jeeves_ | dotblank, it's not a cisco issue. I was just there. and since I can ping other systems on each subnet, it's ONLY the server that refuses to play nice | 01:13 |
| Starminn | Will the GNOME3 install for Natty also work in Maverick? | 01:14 |
| ayecee | deadduck: I can't think of a way other than trying it. | 01:14 |

| dotblank | jeeves_, acl on the router | 01:14 |
| jeeves_ | dotblank, no. | 01:14 |
| shcherbak | biborn: No, you do A) permit ALL and block SOME, or B) block ALL and permit SOME. Try to hook up with A at first. | 01:14 |

| Starminn | Gucci: Now then, you wanted to install XP next to Ubuntu? | 02:38 |
| Gucci | Starminn: So yeah I have two different partitions, I installed windows originally. Then immediatly after I installed Ubuntu and created two seperate partitions. But I'm pretty sure I messed up somewhere during partitioning so once I finished installing Ubuntu. It booted and no boot options were shown. It now simply loads into Ubuntu by default. I dont know what happened to windows, but It says my hd is still partitioned like I set it. I | 02:40 |
| Gucci | can describe my partitions for you if you want | 02:40 |
| brightspark | Gucci, do you know if Windows still lives on your old partition? It might still be there even though Grub doesn't show it. | 02:41 |
| Starminn | Gucci: So basically, Windows isn't showing in your GRUB menu? | 02:41 |
| Gucci | brightspark: I think it does but Grub doesnt show it. | 02:42 |
| Gucci | Starminn: exactly | 02:43 |
| Starminn | Gucci: Have you tried manually adding XP to that list? | 02:43 |
| digitalfiz | is ubuntu one always so horribly slow? | 02:43 |
| Gucci | Starminn: No, which is exactly why I need people like you to help me lol | 02:44 |
| nickals | digitalfiz, live or installed? | 02:44 |
| brightspark | Gucci, try opening a terminal and running update-grub. Off-chance it will solve your problem quickly. | 02:44 |
| digitalfiz | nick_h, i set a folder to sync and it has taken over an hour to sync a few mb's of files | 02:44 |
| brightspark | Gucci, sorry, it must be "sudo update-grub" | 02:45 |
| nickals | digitalfiz, idk honestly, i dont use ubuntu except on my headless server | 02:45 |
| Gucci | brightspark: ill give it a try and restart, then get back on IRC | 02:45 |
| Gucci | brightspark: brb | 02:46 |

| roothorick | MrBushido: or maybe a poor quality cable prevented a gigabit link from being established? | 02:47 |

| ubottu | Scotty: 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. | 03:12 |
| Starminn | Scotty: Yes, and it will be for a long time | 03:12 |
| Logan_ | Starminn: well, 18 days | 03:12 |
| Starminn | Logan_: It will still be 10.10 support. | 03:12 |
| Logan_ | *22 days | 03:13 |
| rww | Logan_: #ubuntu is for supported releases of Ubuntu. 10.10 is supported until April 2012 ;P | 03:13 |
| Logan_ | rww: no, but I'm saying that 11.04 will be supported here as well | 03:13 |
| Starminn | Logan_: Oh, yeah, absolutely. | 03:13 |
| rww | that's not what Starminn didn't say :3 | 03:13 |
| Scotty | okk, so it's not suipported here until release? | 03:13 |
| Logan_ | rww: double negative much? | 03:13 |
| Logan_ | :P | 03:13 |
| Starminn | Scotty: Right. Natty is only in #ubuntu+1 till the 28th I believe. | 03:13 |

| nanoBotter | I have ubuntu 10.04 and an nVidia gt220. the vga port works fine but plugging in a monitor to dvi only gives me 640x480 resolution. I have the binary driver, and the nvidia manager doesn't help at all, that is the highest resolution it gives me! help! | 03:14 |
| Gucci | Starminn: http://imagebin.org/146958 | 03:14 |
| icarus_ | is there any way to update to 10.04 from 10.10 ? | 03:14 |
| Scotty | anyone try out Gnome3 today? | 03:14 |
| Gucci | Starminn: I can click on any of the volumes if you'd like me too | 03:15 |

| Muimi | what does it mean when you try to make depend && make install a program in Ubuntu and then make install, and then it looks like the program is NOT installed at all? | 03:15 |
| Muimi | what do i need to do additionally | 03:15 |
| Starminn | Gucci: So click on NTFS to see where it's at (i.e. /dev/sda1 or something) then using the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Custom%20Menu%20Entries do your thing | 03:16 |
| chris17 | Anyone help me with my wireless issue? I disconnect after a few hours and I have to reboot. | 03:17 |

| torchie | I have an nvidia nforce NIC and it changes its MAC address on every restart | 03:19 |
| torchie | setting the cloned mac address didn't seem to work | 03:19 |
| torchie | would it be absolutely necessary to resort to the shell script? | 03:19 |
| sur | Starminn, I';; install ubuntu on a new machine than tell this tool to set it up with necessary packages and settings | 03:19 |
| Starminn | sur: So why not just write a shell script that runs a bunch of "sudo apt-get <package>" with the "yes" flag? | 03:20 |
| acerimmer | pm2: still with us? | 03:20 |
| sur | Starminn, and settings... | 03:21 |

| vhd | when you ctrl+z something in the terminal, does it get killed? or is it suspended? also what is the [1]+ for when you use ctrl+z? | 03:28 |
| Scotty | is there a way to start in safemode? | 03:29 |
| Aginor | in screen, is there a way to move windows between different screen processes? | 03:29 |
| Aginor | vhd, you stop the process and you're returned to the shell. you can type bg to run it as a background process or fg to return it as a foreground process | 03:30 |
| vhd | then how do you truly kill it? | 03:30 |
| torchie | does the system revert to the free drivers after you remove the proprietary ones? | 03:30 |
| vhd | ctrl+c is also suspend no? | 03:31 |
| oasisTopher | I have a binary driver for nVidia, what lines do I need in my xorg.conf to get the proper resolutions out of DVI connection? | 03:31 |
| Aginor | ctrl+c is a kill signal | 03:31 |
| oasisTopher | I can paste up my xorg.conf | 03:31 |
| vhd | hmm i see, I guess I got the two mixed up then. | 03:31 |
| Aginor | vhd, processes can chose to capture and ignore the kill, in which case you have to send them a SIGTERM (kill -9 <pid>) | 03:32 |
| Aginor | vhd, I can reccomend having a look at the jobs manpage | 03:33 |
| oasisTopher | nvidia-auto-select is used as the requested mode, I think I need to change that | 03:34 |

| tumbleweed|iPod | root_: But if you ran that command nothing is executable, right? | 04:12 |
| [4-tea-2] | Anybody got an idea why I can't reassign Capslock any more after upgrading to natty? (try: xmodmap -e "clear lock" to see for yourself) | 04:12 |
| root_ | you're asking about the settings, or if i can actually run things? | 04:12 |

| root_ | yes | 04:13 |

| root_ | as root. | 04:13 |
| tumbleweed|iPod | Try chmod +x -R * I think | 04:14 |
| root_ | is there an issue with making things like text files executable? | 04:14 |
| tumbleweed|iPod | But you need to make these files in $PATH +x | 04:14 |

| tumbleweed|iPod | You set -x everything on your system, right? | 04:16 |
| root_ | for the 'other' user | 04:16 |
| tumbleweed|iPod | Just for one user? | 04:17 |

| arand | necercis: necercis Hmm, I fail to see any reason why it would do that... | 04:18 |

| Bite | YankDownUnder: Does that change it? | 04:27 |
| Bite | Because that's not the issue. | 04:27 |
| YankDownUnder | Bite, That allows you to create a password for the root account. | 04:27 |
| Bite | Oh, ic. | 04:27 |
| Guest29032 | tumbleweed I ipod: what does that mean? | 04:28 |
| Bite | YankDownUnder: Thank you, I understand the issue now. | 04:28 |
| Bite | I installed ubuntu server, but then installed XFCE over it. | 04:29 |
| rww | !noroot | YankDownUnder | 04:29 |
| ubottu | YankDownUnder: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 04:29 |
| Bite | So the root account never had a password. | 04:29 |
| Bite | !root | 04:29 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:29 |

| arand | necercis: There we go =) | 04:30 |

| [4-tea-2] | mute: That's bad. | 04:32 |
| rww | Bite: see that RootSudo page ubottu linked | 04:32 |
| Bite | Okay, will, thanks. How do i remove the password for the root account? | 04:33 |
| Bite | !root | 04:33 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:33 |
| mute | [4-tea-2]: I wouldn't know how to do it even if I did. | 04:33 |
| rww | Bite: the RootSudo page has the command for it. I don't have it handy. | 04:33 |
| Guest29032 | tumbleweed I ipod: so i shouldnt worry about it? | 04:33 |

| new_to_ubuntu1 | I'm hoping someone can answer this one for. Is there a auto hide function to this Launcher in Unity? Running 10.10 | 04:34 |
| mute | You really don't need a superuser in this era of single user machines, but having the extra layer of requiring sudo permission is still beneficial. | 04:34 |
| rww | Bite: I'm not sure why it gets set wrong, or if there are other considerations it uses. It works out of the box on Xubuntu though, so I guess so. | 04:35 |
| Bite | rww: I would assume so as well. | 04:35 |
| arand | new_to_ubuntu1: There is in natty, I'm not sure if it is availble in the 10.10 version | 04:35 |
| Bite | rww: I just think that there was an issue in installing the window manager over it. | 04:35 |
| mute | ooh, pulseaudio's CPU usage is up to 97% | 04:36 |
| mute | There's the offender. | 04:36 |
| Bite | rww: Is there a GUI program that would let me configure grub? | 04:36 |
| Bite | I'm aware of startupmanager. | 04:36 |
| mute | How should I kill it? 9? | 04:36 |
| rww | Bite: I just use the text configuration files, so... | 04:36 |
| rww | !grub2 | might mention one | 04:37 |
| ubottu | might mention one: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 04:37 |
| arand | mute: just pulseaudio -k | 04:37 |
| arand | mute: Normally doe sit | 04:37 |
| mute | arand: I'm in htop. | 04:37 |
| mute | gives me the option of killing with a certain signal. | 04:38 |
| new_to_ubuntu1 | arand: thanks. I have not put Natty on any of my boxes yet? Are you running it? What do you think of it? | 04:38 |
| Bite | rww: i just need a quick fix. I don't necessarily want to go back to grub. | 04:38 |
| nafri | hello, has anyone sucessfully installed gnome3 on ubuntu 10.10?? | 04:38 |
| arand | new_to_ubuntu1: #ubuntu+1 For further discussion, I'm only running it in in a VM, hence no unity/effects. | 04:39 |
| [4-tea-2] | mute: 9 (KILL) is for when you want a program to be gone, immediately, no questions asked (so, yes) | 04:39 |
| new_to_ubuntu1 | arand: okay, thank you for the info. | 04:39 |
| jiltdil | help me please whenever i opens any thing that has black screen it shows my video image that i had made sometime ago over it.how too fix this also the words written above the open thing goes faid | 04:39 |
| [4-tea-2] | mute: HUP is for when you want to give a program a chance to shut itself down properly, just fyi. | 04:39 |
| arand | mute: The proper way to restart pulseaudio is with the pulseaudio -k command rather | 04:40 |
| [4-tea-2] | mute: and TERM is HUP for programs that do different things when you send them a HUP (like reload their configuration or other obscure stuff) | 04:40 |
| Bite | rww: i can't find something specific for removing the root password | 04:40 |
| mute | [4-tea-2]: Does TERM work on the others? | 04:41 |
| [4-tea-2] | mute: yes | 04:41 |
| rww | Bite: sudo usermod -p '!' root | 04:41 |
| mute | The ones I always hear about are 9 10 and 15 | 04:41 |
| Bite | rww: thanks for everything. I'm off, bye! | 04:42 |
| jmorris | I just installed ubuntu server 10.10, and i am getting random network drops, if I am SSH'ed into the box ill get booted, cannot connect to in via SMB or http, then all the sudden it will come back, Any guesses where I should look? | 04:42 |
| Bite | pff, skimmed right over that part.... | 04:42 |
| [4-tea-2] | mute: historically, 1 (HUP) is "hangup", which causes some programs to treat this signal as "the user might have accidently closed his connection or X server or whatever". | 04:43 |
| [4-tea-2] | mute: that's why I try it first when I want to give an application a chance to save my date. | 04:44 |
| jiltdil | for using 64bit OS in virtual box will i have to enable VT or VT-d or simply both from BIOS menu? | 04:45 |

| faryshta | Hello. Is anyone else having troubles adding people to msn/pidging? | 04:45 |
| [4-tea-2] | faryshta: I had, until I got a fresher Pidgin from the PPA. | 04:46 |
| nickals | faryshta, yea i was trying to add your mom last night, but it just wouldnt work | 04:46 |
| nickals | :p | 04:46 |
| [4-tea-2] | faryshta: usually some error message complaining about an invalid mail address format, iirc. | 04:46 |
| faryshta | [4-tea-2], well I know the emails are corrects. | 04:47 |
| jiltdil | for using 64bit OS in virtual box will i have to enable VT or VT-d or simply both from BIOS menu? | 04:47 |
| faryshta | [4-tea-2], can you recomend me other program to access msn? | 04:47 |
| [4-tea-2] | faryshta: I don't doubt that. Get the fixed Pidgin. | 04:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | faryshta, I use empathy | 04:47 |
| faryshta | [4-tea-2], I just updated my system :( Seven_Six_Two let me try. | 04:48 |

| hiexpo | Muimi, well than i am special cause mine does | 04:51 |
| Muimi | get it together, guys. | 04:51 |
| Muimi | better check to be sure. i checked against 3 remote computers and checked 2 local computers. | 04:51 |

| sysRPL | has anyone here mentioned gnome 3 today? i'm wondering if/how it can be installed on 10.10? | 04:52 |
| hiexpo | you have to use xmpp for facebook | 04:52 |
| shane4ubuntu | c00lryguy: It isn't a gui, so in the command line, timidity file.mid | 04:52 |
| shane4ubuntu | c00lryguy: also, you should install freepats or something for the intstruments to make it sound nice, there is a gui midi player, but I don't know what it is off hand. | 04:53 |
| nownot | when ever i try to run ffmpeg i get "ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libvorbisenc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory " what do i do? | 04:53 |
| Muimi | not that i have seen sysRPL. | 04:53 |

| YankDownUnder | Great MIDI => Rosegarden | 04:54 |
| Muimi | someone said | 04:54 |
| shane4ubuntu | sysRPL: I saw today there is a ppa setup for the 11.04 version, I think I saw something for 10.10 too, but it was ir-reversible if you install it, so back up first. | 04:54 |
| Muimi | 07:49:42 PM) Delerium_: Hi guys, is there a repository that already contains gnome 3 packages? | 04:54 |
| Muimi | (07:50:48 PM) brightspark: delerium_ gnome 3 is in the software center already if i recall correctly | 04:54 |
| c00lryguy | Oh I'm sorry. I'm not trying to play a midi file. I have a program thats using midi input/output from a keyboard i have and i want to use my sundcard to play midi notes when i hit the mon the keyboard | 04:54 |
| Muimi | i got earlier logs if you want me to check? | 04:54 |

| YankDownUnder | c00lryguy, I'm using JACK and all the JACK input/output coupled with Rosegarden => works wonderfully. | 04:55 |
| shane4ubuntu | sysRPL: you are at your own risk here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/install-vanilla-gnome-3-in-maverick/ | 04:55 |
| c00lryguy | YankDownUnder: sounds good. i'm ot entirely sure what JACK is but I'll look into it | 04:55 |
| === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax | ||
| shane4ubuntu | c00lryguy: ohh, that is totally different, scratch the timidity suggestion I gave you then. :) | 04:56 |
| c00lryguy | Thanks for the input though! | 04:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | c00lryguy, jack is "jack audio connection kit" and you'll want the realtime kernel too. probably the easiest is to install the ubuntu-studio metapackages | 04:56 |
| YankDownUnder | c00lryguy, On a silly Toshiba P4 laptop, I've replaced the Pulseaudio with JACK, installed Rosegarden, setup JACK for my keyboard via USB, and hey, it's great. For recording - or whatever. | 04:56 |
| c00lryguy | cool thanks guys | 04:57 |

| c00lryguy | bouma: On ruby, there is a library called Prawn that can do wonders | 04:58 |
| jiltdil | Deleting my boot partiton and instaling new ,will it also delete my virtual box from system? | 04:58 |
| c00lryguy | I believe it is a C extension as well so it's all in C | 04:58 |
| shane4ubuntu | sysRPL: ohh, I didn't look at it too closely, just noticed that it could be done, however if the repo is still up, and up to date, then all should be good. | 04:59 |
| c00lryguy | scratch that, its all ruby | 04:59 |

| sysRPL | does anyone here use mon and c# on ubuntu? i'm considering doing some stuff with opentk on ubuntu, but don't know if it has a lot off issues i don't want to deal with | 05:00 |
| sysRPL | mon = mono | 05:00 |
| edbian | sysRPL: Have done very minimal work with mono on linux. (I've compiled some simple programs and run them). For what it's worth, it was error free. | 05:01 |
| sysRPL | i've never really done foss ... just my own stuff mainly for windows | 05:01 |
| daweefolk | I set up two partitions when i installed- one for / and one for /home. I made the one for /home almost 100G bigger, but when I installed I accidentally set them backward. I am already 25% in /home and i installed saturday. is there a way to fix it? i.e. just swap the contents and edit lilo? | 05:01 |
| sysRPL | edbian: do you do any other foss development? | 05:01 |
| shane4ubuntu | sysRPL: that ppa was out-dated and pointed to this ppa, that is only for Natty, :( | 05:01 |

| pwnyourace | can someone please help me? i installed ubuntu with wubi and rebooted and it set it up and then i got a flash of code and my computer turned off, now when i pick to boot to ubuntu i get a command prompt type thing and idk how to boot to the os | 05:03 |
| edbian | sysRPL: :) I'm actually writing my own right now! :) I use that, or gedit and a terminal. | 05:03 |
| shane4ubuntu | sysRPL: right, that is what I was saying, :( | 05:03 |
| sysRPL | edbian: i need tools like visual studio, eclipse, monodevelop, etc | 05:03 |
| edbian | sysRPL: Visual studios is windows only. eclipse is available on linux. Not sure about monodevelop. I generally code old school with a text editor and a terminal | 05:04 |

| Scotty | i try mounting it as external, no go. on that one | 05:05 |
| Scotty | cant boot up, gota re-format | 05:05 |

| aauthor | moes, the file you need to edit is "/etc/default/grub" | 05:14 |
| YankDownUnder | moes, Edit the /etc/default/grub configuration file, then run "sudo update-grub" | 05:14 |
| moes | aauthor yes but what entry in the default file | 05:15 |
| Stronze | need help. installed ubuntu 10.04 on very old desktop. itunes and a graphical game crashes computer. no clue where to start. im thinking bad graphics driver | 05:15 |
| sysRPL | moes ... hold shift | 05:15 |
| * aauthor checks documentation | 05:15 | |
| tensorpudding | Stronze: ubuntu doesn't have itunes | 05:15 |

| Stronze | tensorpudding - itunes via wine | 05:16 |
| moes | sysRPL, That works but want to see it at boot | 05:16 |
| YankDownUnder | Stronze, Success stories of running iTunes via WINE - or at least any version greater than iTunes 7.0, are nearly nil. | 05:17 |
| vyper1877 | I think I tried that once without any luck | 05:17 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Stronze, and what do you mean by crash? Kernel panic? Black screen? | 05:17 |
| Stronze | yankdownunder - i know, i was testing to see if it would work but thats not the issues, graphics get overloaded and crash computer | 05:17 |
| aauthor | moes, comment out GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 (i.e. put a # in front of that line) | 05:17 |
| jiltdil | moes:hit esc or down arrow key,to see grub menu | 05:17 |

| Stronze | yankdownunder - you telling a noob to access xorg's text file? | 05:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Stronze, and when you login, try typing dmesg and read whatever is at the end of the output (while machine is not working). That might give you a hint. or try less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 05:28 |
| arand | puren00b: lspci gives you some of it | 05:28 |
| puren00b | okay hang on | 05:29 |

| aauthor | YankDownUnder: Oh, ha ha! I missed that part. | 05:31 |
| puren00b | yes it boots | 05:31 |
| YankDownUnder | :) | 05:31 |
| puren00b | 700mb ram | 05:31 |
| lasha | hey guys anyone plays online chess on ubuntu 10.10 ? | 05:31 |
| Stronze | yankdownunder - love to read but tech manuals are the best sleeping aides in the world for me | 05:31 |
| puren00b | mobile AMD Athlon XP-M 2400+ | 05:31 |
| puren00b | it runs | 05:31 |
| shcherbak | lasha: a bit | 05:31 |
| puren00b | 10.10 slowly | 05:31 |
| shcherbak | lasha: Nf3 | 05:31 |
| puren00b | so | 05:31 |
| xangua | puren00b: it will work good if you don't use compiz | 05:32 |
| lasha | shcherbak: which software do you use ? | 05:32 |
| YankDownUnder | puren00b, Mate, hows this sound => boot to the console, login, right? Once ya login, type: dpkg --reconfigure xorg-server | 05:32 |
| puren00b | i don't | 05:32 |
| puren00b | at least i haven't enabled it | 05:32 |
| DaPenguin | tech manuals are good when used in conjunction with actually tearing something apart :) | 05:32 |
| lasha | shcherbak: Nf3 is an application name ? | 05:32 |
| geekahedron1 | anyone know offhand how to open compiz config manager from a terminal? | 05:32 |
| puren00b | it works too slowly; i actually switched to ubuntu because xp was just getting too slow and the CD drive in this one is broken | 05:32 |
| xangua | !ccsm | geekahedron1 | 05:32 |
| ubottu | geekahedron1: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 05:32 |
| puren00b | so i thought i'd tyr ubuntu from a usb stick | 05:32 |
| puren00b | i've installed it now | 05:32 |
| shcherbak | lasha: jin (for fics), scid (database), xboard, fritz, arena (wine) | 05:33 |
| aauthor | geekahedron1, the command to start it up is ccsm, but that gives the gui. That not what you want, right? | 05:33 |
| geekahedron1 | yes, actually it was | 05:33 |
| YankDownUnder | puren00b, If ya got the point of getting it installed, ya might, stressing MIGHT be able to get Xorg running... | 05:33 |
| lasha | shcherbak: i have heard of fritz, from web or from repository ? | 05:33 |
| geekahedron1 | i disabled unity from the gui | 05:33 |
| shcherbak | puren00b: ok, get Xubuntu, much faster. | 05:33 |
| puren00b | ok | 05:34 |
| geekahedron1 | but i couldn't get gdm to run | 05:34 |
| puren00b | what's the difference? | 05:34 |
| aauthor | geekahedron1, alright, make sure you install it through the synaptic first. | 05:34 |
| geekahedron1 | it's installed | 05:34 |
| puren00b | will Xubuntu still run google chrome? and VLC? | 05:34 |
| geekahedron1 | but i had no gui | 05:34 |
| geekahedron1 | i could only run things i knew by name :p | 05:34 |
| Unirgy | hi, i've upgraded to 10.10 and now apache gives segfaults all the time... where should i look for details? | 05:34 |
| aauthor | Ah OK! | 05:34 |
| huchosi | hi, do you know a link where i can make a kind of ubuntu one but with a folder from my server | 05:34 |
| YankDownUnder | puren00b, Yes... | 05:34 |
| shcherbak | lasha: one from web, one via wine (and arena run well older engines) | 05:34 |
| xangua | yes puren00b , even less resourses¿ !lubuntu | 05:34 |
| puren00b | k | 05:34 |
| aauthor | geekahedron1, quite the conundrum. :) | 05:34 |
| puren00b | i'm having another prolem too | 05:35 |
| puren00b | i can NOT get video to play on this one | 05:35 |
| puren00b | audio comes through but no picture | 05:35 |
| puren00b | even on VLC | 05:35 |
| Lancelot | Question about the new version of skype: does anyone know if it will work on Karmic? Is there another place I should be asking this? | 05:35 |
| DaPenguin | puren00b, what kind of gfx hardware? | 05:35 |
| lasha | shcherbak: I am trying to avoid installing wine because i feel like it corrupts comp with windows aura :D so there is no popular client specifically for linux/ubuntu ? | 05:35 |
| puren00b | onboard | 05:35 |
| YankDownUnder | puren00b, Um, mate, did you install all the codecs necessary to play video? | 05:35 |
| shcherbak | Lancelot: "new" version of skype? | 05:35 |
| Lancelot | shcherbak: the beta 2.2 | 05:36 |
| DaPenguin | shouldn't need installed codecs for vlc... | 05:36 |
| puren00b | i had ral difficulty in acquiring codecs | 05:36 |
| puren00b | and yeah, shouldn't need codecs for VLC | 05:36 |
| xangua | Lancelot: download it and try it¿ | 05:36 |
| puren00b | VLC is GREAT :D | 05:36 |
| Stronze | yankdownunder - give em that after install guide for his version | 05:36 |
| DaPenguin | puren00b, possibly an issue with the video driver | 05:37 |
| Lancelot | xangua: I don't want to install it just yet in case something goes wonky. I wanted to see if anyone else running Karmic had tried it | 05:37 |
| lasha | Lancelot: they made new version of skype for linux ? | 05:37 |
| puren00b | i figured it's because this computer just isn't up to running this OS and playing video at the same time | 05:37 |
| vyper1877 | Lancelot, I was runing skype beta without a problem in karmic | 05:37 |
| shcherbak | lasha: xboard and scid is very decend duo, you will need to play around polyglot to get some engines to run. | 05:37 |
| Lancelot | lasha: Yes, an update. It's 2.2 now. http://blogs.skype.com/linux/2011/04/2_2_beta.html | 05:37 |
| Lancelot | vyper1877: are you running the new version of the beta? | 05:37 |
| YankDownUnder | puren00b, Just FYI, have you thought about using an older version of Ubuntu - like maybe 9.10 or so? | 05:37 |
| Lancelot | brb | 05:37 |
| lasha | shcherbak: hmm ok i will try those thank you :) | 05:38 |
| vyper1877 | Lancelot: I was | 05:38 |
| shcherbak | Lancelot: I recall 8.10 deb on skype website. | 05:38 |
| shcherbak | Lancelot: You right, let try it! | 05:40 |
| puren00b | what's the difference with Xubuntu? | 05:40 |
| YankDownUnder | !Xubuntu | 05:40 |
| rene | o | 05:40 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 05:40 |
| rene | hello | 05:40 |
| puren00b | and how hard is it to change distro from this to an earlier one, or to Xubuntu? | 05:41 |
| === rene is now known as Guest20542 | ||
| Guest20542 | i need help!!! | 05:41 |
| YankDownUnder | puren00b, Mate, you can just install it from the console: sudo apt-get install xfce-desktop => and wait... | 05:41 |
| puren00b | how big is it? | 05:41 |
| Lancelot | shcherbak: sounds good, I'll be back in a little bit | 05:41 |
| Guest20542 | how can I unistall JULinux from my PC? | 05:42 |
| YankDownUnder | puren00b, I reckon about 30mb or so... | 05:42 |
| puren00b | srs!! | 05:42 |
| puren00b | so wait | 05:42 |
| shcherbak | puren00b: Guest20542 JULinux? | 05:42 |
| Guest20542 | yes | 05:42 |
| puren00b | Xubuntu will STILL google chrome and VLC and it's a 30mb download | 05:42 |
| shcherbak | Guest20542 JULinux? What is it? | 05:43 |
| Guest20542 | ill give you a link | 05:43 |
| shcherbak | ok | 05:43 |
| puren00b | ? | 05:43 |

| Guest20542 | has anyone heard about JULinux? | 05:46 |
| YankDownUnder | Heck of a place to ask about different linux distros... | 05:46 |
| Guest20542 | lol | 05:47 |
| aauthor | Guest20542, you installed it as another operating system on your computer? | 05:47 |
| puren00b | lol dude i'm new here | 05:47 |
| Guest20542 | yeah, i should not have | 05:47 |
| puren00b | my nick says it ALLLL | 05:47 |
| puren00b | i know nothing about linux other than it's free and i have it | 05:47 |
| Guest20542 | The only OS I have is JULinux | 05:48 |
| puren00b | and terminal kicks the bollocks out of the DOS prompt lol | 05:48 |
| aauthor | Guest20542, then you could format your drive and install the operating system you wanted on top of it, right? | 05:48 |
| icedtea | puren00b: you can run cygwin in windows, which uses bash | 05:48 |
| Guest20542 | I try to pt WIn7 but it says that it cant define an OS on my PC | 05:48 |
| Guest20542 | I thought of that | 05:48 |
| puren00b | okay srsly now though | 05:49 |
| puren00b | you've seen my spces | 05:49 |
| puren00b | what's going to e ideal and yet still do what i want | 05:49 |
| puren00b | i just want to make this machine surf internet and load videos in VLC as fats as possible | 05:49 |
| shcherbak | Guest20542: Looks like you need to be convinced to download Ubuntu and install it (like it should be done), any objections? | 05:49 |
| Guest20542 | how can I format my drive | 05:49 |
| Guest20542 | I would if I could | 05:50 |
| Guest20542 | I will try it | 05:50 |
| aauthor | Guest20542, is your Win7 disk a fresh-install license? (I.e. not an upgrade only disk?) | 05:50 |
| YankDownUnder | Boot with liveCD, click SYSTEM => ADMINISTRATION => GPARTED PARTITION EDITOR, format drive. | 05:50 |
| Tuxx3d | hi | 05:50 |
| icedtea | is there a 3d opensource driver for recent nvidia cards? I'd rather not load closed source drivers on this system | 05:50 |
| Guest20542 | I have a legit key but the win7 is a copy | 05:51 |
| kaushal | hi | 05:51 |
| Tuxx3d | anyone could lend me a hand with something? | 05:51 |
| YankDownUnder | icedtea, Um...the "normal" drivers are fine and dandy...or what are you getting at? | 05:51 |
| shcherbak | Guest20542: What is problem? To format drive (before Ubuntu instalation) insert LiveCD (ev. adjust bios booting setting) and start live session, and format drive. | 05:51 |
| icedtea | YankDownUnder: I can't get desktop affects enabled with the standard drivers | 05:51 |
| vyper1877 | Icedtea are you using the optimus technology cards? | 05:52 |
| Tuxx3d | today i came back from work and all i see is a black screen with a blinking cursor | 05:52 |
| YankDownUnder | icedtea, Um...did you check SYSTEM => ADMINISTRATION => HARDWARE DRIVERS and see if you've got the recommended driver running/installed? | 05:52 |
| Guest20542 | can I format it before anything else | 05:52 |
| icedtea | no, evga geforce 9800GT | 05:52 |
| YankDownUnder | icedtea, Funny that ....I"ve got the same card.... | 05:53 |
| Tuxx3d | then when i tried to restart the computer it doesnt boot, stuck after post with this black screen | 05:53 |
| aauthor | Guest20542, yes you can. With a Windows disk you can tell it to do a fresh install instead of an upgrade and it will walk you through formatting your disk. | 05:53 |
| Tuxx3d | then i popped a ubuntu live cd and it wont boot either | 05:53 |
| Tuxx3d | gives a error and warning something like "pwuid: Unknown user {0}" | 05:54 |
| Guest20542 | i will try it | 05:54 |
| aauthor | Guest20542, however, if you want more detailed assistance, you might try going to #windows, as that's there area of expertise. | 05:54 |
| icedtea | YankDownUnder: its recommending I install the nvidia proprietary driver, I'd rather avoid that | 05:54 |
| YankDownUnder | icedtea, Well, mate, that's your choice. All good. | 05:55 |
| Guest20542 | how can I come back to this chat? I am new at this | 05:55 |
| aauthor | Guest20542, what program are you using to access this chat on IRC? | 05:55 |
| Guest20542 | it was on the OS hold on let me check | 05:56 |
| fizyplankton | Guest20542 is using xchat | 05:56 |
| Guest20542 | YES | 05:56 |
| fizyplankton | just use "/ctcp Guest20542 version" | 05:57 |
| Lancelot | shcherbak: I'm back, how's the client? | 05:57 |
| kaushal | is there a way to measure network data flow ? | 05:58 |
| Lancelot | kaushal: open the process monitor | 05:58 |
| DaPenguin | kaushal, or netstat | 05:58 |
| kaushal | DaPenguin: netstat ? | 05:58 |
| kaushal | I need measurement in real time | 05:58 |
| Lancelot | kaushal: do that, or if you pick the process monitor go to the resources tab | 05:58 |
| DaPenguin | kaushal, cli app, run it in a terminal and see what it pops up :) | 05:59 |
| Lancelot | kaushal: both netstat and the process monitor give you live information | 05:59 |
| vyper1877 | Kaushal You can also add the network applet to your task bar | 05:59 |
| povedaespinoza | alguien sabe español aqui? | 05:59 |

| dr0id | hi guiz, just wondering wuts the purpose of hard links ? :) | 06:01 |
| nunuyabiz | why does my firefox jump up to 80% CPU usage all of the sudden? | 06:02 |
| dr0id | because yer loading loads of plugins ? | 06:02 |
| nunuyabiz | I don't have that many plugins, and it did that before when I even had less. | 06:02 |
| YankDownUnder | Could be that "special" plugin - the "Eatupresources.xpi" | 06:03 |
| vyper1877 | nunuyabiz: flash can also cause this | 06:03 |
| Lancelot | YankDownUnder: HA! Nice one. | 06:03 |
| nunuyabiz | vyper1877 that would make sense. can it happen even if I'm not playing a movie? | 06:03 |
| YankDownUnder | Lancelot, (or could be the "ActLikeWindows.xpi") | 06:04 |
| Lancelot | XD | 06:04 |
| dr0id | hi guiz, just wondering wuts the purpose of hard links ? :) | 06:04 |
| icedtea | dr0id: the advantadge of a hard link is that even if you delete the first, original file, the second file that was linked will still have the data | 06:04 |
| dr0id | well, that's no advantage | 06:05 |
| puren00b | hey guys; how would i go about finding out what grahpics driver i need in ubuntu? | 06:05 |
| dr0id | I mean, if I change the hard link, the original files are not modified | 06:05 |
| nunuyabiz | also there is another process that jumps up to 80% cpu. It's the gdm/auth-for-gdm WTXQ anone know why that hogs cpu? | 06:05 |
| map7 | I just upgraded java on my Ubuntu box and now I cannot login to the tax department, where do I find previous packages of java specifically 1.6.0.20 for Ubuntu 10.04 64bit? | 06:05 |
| dr0id | icedtea: so, better just have the original file ? :P | 06:05 |
| ayecee | dr0id: if you change the hard link, the original is modified. | 06:05 |
| icedtea | dr0id: no, if you change the hard link, the original file is modified too | 06:05 |
| dr0id | ohh | 06:05 |
| dr0id | why doesn't things work when I try :S | 06:06 |
| dr0id | hold on, will try again | 06:06 |
| YankDownUnder | puren00b, Are you at the console, or in the GUI? | 06:06 |
| vyper1877 | Nunuyabi, look at your system monitor, it has happend to me that I close a session where I was using flash and the process keeps living even after closing firefox | 06:06 |
| puren00b | the gui | 06:06 |
| puren00b | i can use the terminal | 06:06 |
| puren00b | termainal is the same thing as console? | 06:06 |

| Lancelot | Has anyone tried out the new version of skype in karmic? | 06:07 |
| icedtea | dr0id: I found in some instances some programs can't open symbol links properly though I think that was a while ago and may not have even been on linux, but another *nix os | 06:07 |
| icedtea | symbolic links rather | 06:07 |
| kaushal | Lancelot: so just run netstat ? | 06:07 |
| dr0id | hmm | 06:07 |
| din | i'm trying to upgrade to natty on my netbook but my ssd is only 4gb and doesn't have the space available to do so. can someone point me in the right direction? | 06:07 |
| kaushal | Lancelot: process monitor ? | 06:07 |
| nunuyabiz | vyper1877 that would explain why sometimes when I close or open firefox, an audio that I havn't listened to starts playing. | 06:07 |
| ayecee | din: natty narwhal support is in #ubuntu+1 | 06:08 |
| Lancelot | kaushal: that's one way to go. If you just want bandwidth usage use the resources tab of the process monitor | 06:08 |
| puren00b | nope it's different on 10.10 | 06:08 |
| dr0id | icedtea: aah yes. so symlinks just hold the reference to the original files, while hard links hold reference + data ? :) | 06:09 |
| opera | hello everyone | 06:09 |
| dr0id | hi Ope | 06:09 |
| dr0id | opera: | 06:09 |
| din | ayecee: this isn't natty yet. this is an issue with do-release-upgrade | 06:09 |
| opera | i am a new bird | 06:09 |
| DaPenguin | dr0id, sort of | 06:09 |
| opera | who can help me | 06:09 |
| puren00b | there's no hardware pane under administration | 06:09 |
| dr0id | DaPenguin: thanks :) | 06:09 |
| ayecee | dr0id: a symbolic link refers to the original by name, a hard link refers to the original by inode | 06:09 |
| vyper1877 | Yeap, sounds like that is the problem, I ended up reinstalling a fresh copy of firefox | 06:09 |
| [nDy] | Hi all, am thinking of starting to use linux (a friend has put me onto it) but I listen to Itunes Radio a bit but I guess that isnt available on linux? | 06:10 |
| ayecee | dr0id: a hard link increases the reference count so the file is kept if the original link is deleted. A symbolic link does not. | 06:10 |
| ayecee | dr0id: thus, you can have a dangling symlink (points to a file that no longer exists), but never a dangling hard link. | 06:11 |
| dr0id | ayecee: you thought symlink referred by inode too | 06:11 |
| YankDownUnder | There are all types of internet based radio playing programs for linux. | 06:11 |
| dr0id | I thought* | 06:11 |
| vyper1877 | Ask away opera, and someone will respond | 06:11 |
| dr0id | for faster performance | 06:11 |
| ayecee | [nDy]: rhythmbox has a very similar interface, but I'm not sure if it does Itunes Radio in particular. | 06:11 |
| icedtea | dr0id: think of a symbolic link as just a file that contains the original filename that it points to. If the original file is wiped, the symbolic link still points to that directory location but its broken | 06:11 |
| ayecee | dr0id: nope, by name. | 06:11 |
| DaPenguin | just about any media player will accept an internet url as a playable file | 06:11 |
| opera | vype, thank you | 06:11 |
| ayecee | dr0id: the name is often stored in the directory entry though, instead of its own inode | 06:12 |
| dr0id | yeah, own inode. sorry | 06:12 |
| opera | i want use opera , who can get me a book on how to use ubuntu | 06:12 |

| Seven_Six_Two | opera, ubottu gave you the answer to that question. | 06:15 |
| nunuyabiz | vyper1877 is it possible that system monitor could report everything is sleeping except the gnome system monitor | 06:15 |
| icedtea | puren00b: the OS should figure that out for you during the install, but there are exceptions and closed source drivers that often provide better 3d acceleration | 06:16 |
| nunuyabiz | not right now. I will open firefox now | 06:16 |
| puren00b | i ask because my movies play without video, audio only :( | 06:17 |

| nunuyabiz | vyper1877 I opened firefox, and even though the cpu usage skyrocketed, system monitor reports it a sleeping! | 06:18 |
| puren00b | not DVD, this machine's dvd drive is bung | 06:18 |
| puren00b | that's why i'm ubuntu now lol | 06:18 |
| icedtea | puren00b: what type of video card/chipset does it have? | 06:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | puren00b, can you put the output of sudo lspci -vv at pastebin.com and paste the url back here | 06:19 |
| puren00b | no idea | 06:19 |
| deadlight | whats different between gnome3-session(10.10universe) and gnome3 | 06:19 |
| vyper1877 | Nunuyabiz Hmmm that's weird, try using htop it is much better | 06:19 |
| sykes | puren00b, you have to enable universe, multiverse repos for restricted drivers | 06:19 |
| nunuyabiz | I am using htop, that is where I'm getting my cpu stats from | 06:19 |
| will_ | hey guys. can anyone tell me if gedit's scrollbars respond when the program is maximised and you click on the very far right side of the screen? as far as you can push the mouse | 06:19 |
| will_ | i'm trying to compose a bug report for the new overlay scrollbars (they don't respond in the same way as the old ones) in that specific case, which i think is a usability regression | 06:20 |
| puren00b | http://pastebin.com/4fiArDKQ | 06:20 |
| puren00b | i think i already have that enabled sykes | 06:21 |
| vyper1877 | When you open firefox does it stay at 80% all the time or does the cpu usage go down? | 06:21 |
| nunuyabiz | no, it only jumps up there for short periods of time. | 06:22 |
| nunuyabiz | the gdm/auth-for-gdm WTXQ does the same thing. what the heck is WTXQ? | 06:22 |
| puren00b | Seven_Six_Two didja catch that? | 06:23 |
| linuxtech | As I started the upgrade to Natty I noticed it is using screen, is it also logging to some file like script does? | 06:23 |
| nunuyabiz | I searched it on google ... no results | 06:23 |

| vyper1877 | Ok, if you can try disabling or uninstalling your pluggins one at a time and try to run ff to see if one of them makes a difference | 06:23 |
| nunuyabiz | that's a good idea..... I'll try that. | 06:24 |
| Seven_Six_Two | puren00b, yeah, I was looking at it. SiS video... | 06:24 |

| puren00b | am i going to need a special driver for ubuntu? | 06:25 |
| deadlight | whats different between gnome3-session(10.10universe) and gnome3,i want to use gnome3 in 10.10,can i use gnome3-session instead of gnome3? | 06:25 |

| Seven_Six_Two | puren00b, not really. Those are important reading. ayecee I didn't read that closely... | 06:28 |
| Seven_Six_Two | puren00b, the second thread is from a search based on your "video card" which is onboard video. | 06:29 |
| ayecee | hmm. is that a very old chipset? | 06:29 |

| ayecee | puren00b: but yeah, no 3d | 06:30 |
| puren00b | oh bollocks, from the looks of this i won't have much luck playing games with it if i do anything with the drivers availalbe | 06:30 |

| puren00b | i can't get it to play videos, only audio comes out, even under VLC | 06:31 |

| puren00b | yup | 06:31 |
| puren00b | aw man the only things this laptop needs to do are play videos and surf the net\ | 06:32 |
| ayecee | puren00b: what output driver does mplayer default to, and have you tried others? | 06:32 |

| zeus | Can anyone recommend a good low cost mic and cam that will work straight out of the box with ubuntu? | 06:34 |
| ayecee | puren00b: this is a shared memory video device, eh? It might help to increase the amount of ram allocated to it in the bios, it could be that it needs more room to do DRI of video. | 06:35 |
| will_ | Seven_Six_Two: the open source radeon drivers are pretty cool if you get the lottery of having a card that works. my card downstairs in my other PC is perfect, gorgeous - KMS, compiz, smooth and lovely and moral | 06:35 |
| ayecee | zeus: I don't know about good and low cost, but the last one I picked up off the shelf at the supermarket worked fine. | 06:35 |
| ayecee | zeus: bizarrely, the cheaper it is, the more likely it'll work, since they'll use existing chipsets. | 06:36 |

| abhinav_singh | how do i start mongodb service on ubuntu | 06:37 |
| newby65 | I am already using 3 partitions for win7 on my Dell N5010, is there any way to dodge the requirement of 2 primary partitions for ubuntu installation? | 06:38 |
| === dustin_ is now known as folorn | ||
| will_ | zeus: that's probably a good rule of thumb. buying a 3D camera with bidirectional sound dampning and star wars-style blue projections is less likely to work than your standard lifecam type thing | 06:38 |
| ayecee | abhinav_singh: perhaps "service mongodb start" | 06:38 |
| will_ | newby65: does ubuntu need 2 primary partitions? or do you mean for windows 7 AND ubuntu? | 06:39 |
| will_ | newby65: this might not be what you'd be happy with, but wubi would definitely work | 06:39 |
| ayecee | newby65: you can have up to 4 primary partitions, but only one of them can be "active". however, if the bootloader is installed on the "active" partition or the mbr, that's not a problem. | 06:39 |
| newby65 | I am convinced it does need, as /boot/ partition must be primary and then you want swap to be somewhere | 06:39 |
| ayecee | newby65: swap does not need to be a primary partition. | 06:40 |
| newby65 | it doesn't but it must be on an extended one which takes a slot of primary | 06:40 |
| newby65 | as a subpartition | 06:40 |
| ayecee | /boot need not be its own partition, but if it is, it should probably be primary. / need not be primary | 06:41 |
| jingqq5210 | test | 06:41 |
| newby65 | will_, thanks, I'll have a look at what it is | 06:41 |
| Marcus_123 | ubuntu can be installed on a primary or extended partition | 06:41 |
| ayecee | jingqq5210: test passed | 06:41 |
| jingqq5210 | ayecee: thx | 06:41 |
| nunuyabiz | vyper1877 I have disabled all my plugins, and firefox is running unusually quiet. I'll turn them on one by one gradually until I find the culprit. Then I'll disable it and only enable it when I need it. | 06:41 |
| newby65 | ayecee, /boot/ must be on a primary partition, it might be the actual / partition, yes | 06:42 |
| nunuyabiz | what a difference. this thing has been driving me nuts | 06:42 |
| will_ | newby: i recommend following everyone else's advice first - wubi is hardly ideal but it WILL work if you want ubuntu without adding an extra partition | 06:42 |
| ayecee | newby65: wright | 06:42 |
| ayecee | right, too | 06:42 |
| newby65 | but that still means it takes a slot of primary partition, and I have only 1 remaining | 06:42 |
| newby65 | so no place for swap | 06:42 |
| ayecee | newby65: the swap goes into the 1 remaining, right? | 06:43 |
| Marcus_123 | as long as the grub is installed on mbr | 06:43 |
| newby65 | there is none remaining after I create the /boot/ (or /) one:) | 06:43 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest91086 | ||
| ayecee | newby65: you can have many extended partitions within a logical partition, and the logical partition takes one slot. | 06:43 |
| Marcus_123 | it doesn't matter which partition ubuntu is installed | 06:43 |
| ayecee | ^^ | 06:44 |
| Marcus_123 | just put ubuntu into / | 06:44 |
| Marcus_123 | let ubuntu decide for itself | 06:44 |
| newby65 | ok, to clarify it a bit: 1st primary - taken up by dell something, 2nd primary - taken up by win7 system restore, 3rd primary - win7 OS, 4th - empty | 06:45 |
| ayecee | newby65: provided grub is installed in mbr instead of partition, that should be no problem. | 06:45 |
| ayecee | not the most popular choice, but functional in your case | 06:45 |
| Marcus_123 | agreed | 06:45 |

| ohsix | there's no best, ext4 is pretty good for a lot of things though | 07:09 |
| ohsix | theres a lot of things you can do with files and each scenario will have an ideal choice; but for general use, ext4 | 07:09 |
| RealOpty | is ext3 better? | 07:10 |
| ayecee | RealOpty: not in a way that you'd notice. | 07:10 |
| ohsix | depends, ext4 has different file allocations and extents, which can make it much faster in ideal situations | 07:10 |
| RealOpty | mmm does the journal use less filespace? | 07:10 |
| ohsix | ext3 added a journal to ext2 and made some other changes, but nothing i can remember stands out as worth mentioning | 07:10 |
| ohsix | couldn't say | 07:11 |
| nunuyabiz | RealOpty ext4 is good for fast bootup and it is more mature than ext3 it has greater recovery capabilities | 07:11 |
| magelan | лорарвр | 07:11 |

| ayecee | nunuyabiz: wait, what? more mature? | 07:11 |

| abhijeet | jiltdil: okay | 07:11 |
| ayecee | nunuyabiz: perhaps you meant "modern" or "advanced" | 07:12 |
| ohsix | the log size is adjustable but you probably wouldn't want to mess with anything you can change when you create the fs; defaults are good outside of exceptional cases | 07:12 |

| ayecee | xro: yes, and it's also a command to send mail | 07:13 |

| jiltdil | abhijett:please tell me hnow what to do | 07:13 |
| ohsix | xro: and much less complex if you just want to send a mail to a local or remote address | 07:14 |

| ayecee | nunuyabiz: in what way? | 07:14 |
| ohsix | RealOpty: probably should state the problem, from the information you've given, you just need to switch the device in the volume control properties | 07:15 |
| ohsix | RealOpty: unless you mean you want to _use_ hdmi, and send more than pcm stereo | 07:15 |
| RealOpty | oh yeah lol | 07:15 |
| nunuyabiz | wasn't ext3 based on ext2 but journaling was added to it? | 07:15 |
| ohsix | xro: no best, but like i said, small/simple, and default used by a lot of packages that send mail | 07:15 |
| ohsix | nunuyabiz: among other things, but yes | 07:16 |
| RealOpty | problem is it dont work with pulseaudio. it detects it but no sound. but ALSA works | 07:16 |
| xro | ohsix, ok... so i will use it... | 07:16 |

| ohsix | RealOpty: you might need to set default-sample-rate; but i don't think you still need to, it would be something to try (don't forget to revert it if it isn't the fix) it's in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf, and you can restart pulse with killall pulseaudio or pulseaudio -k | 07:18 |
| superman097 | is gnome3 stable? | 07:18 |
| noisewaterphd | sangeeth: i believe its apt-get install gnome3-session | 07:18 |
| RealOpty | ohsix, ty ill try | 07:19 |
| RealOpty | !ALSA | 07:19 |
| ohsix | superman097: i don't think it is upstream yet, but i haven't checked in a while | 07:19 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 07:19 |
| noisewaterphd | superman097: gnome3 was officially released today, so yes | 07:19 |
| ohsix | that settles that, thanks noisewaterphd | 07:19 |
| cheater00 | hi | 07:19 |
| Big_bear | i got "##c++ Cannot send to channel", does anyone tell me what happened? | 07:19 |
| ohsix | Big_bear: you probably need to be registered to speak | 07:19 |
| === jeff_ is now known as Guest94162 | ||
| cheater00 | Big_bear: you got banned or muted | 07:19 |
| cheater00 | or need to register. | 07:19 |
| noisewaterphd | ohsix: i don't think the release has made it in to the package repositories yet, I have no idea whats in there right now | 07:20 |
| ohsix | or it's +m and you're not voiced | 07:20 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: I hope that it is not yet updated with the latest release... | 07:20 |
| ruan | help! if i go to sound properties, no sound hardware is detected! and i cant play any audio | 07:20 |
| cheater00 | i have a problem, the update manager is mentioning an upgrade to me, but i don't know what it would be upgrading to. how do i find out? | 07:20 |
| ruan | but in lspci, it shows 00:05.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) | 07:20 |
| ohsix | ruan: see if the output of fuser -v /dev/snd/* is empty | 07:20 |
| noisewaterphd | sangeeth: no, im sure the official release hasnt made it in yet, but you can download and build yourself | 07:20 |
| Big_bear | thanks | 07:20 |
| ruan | ohsix: Specified file name /dev/snd/* does not exist. | 07:20 |
| JohnTeddy | Is there any way in the software center to find out which package is teh most popular? | 07:20 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: Thanks !!! | 07:20 |
| Big_bear | thanks all | 07:21 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: Hope building it would be simple... | 07:21 |
| ohsix | ruan: then something is very wrong, did you mess with the sound related modules, modprobe.d options, or try and install from source OSS or newer versions of alsa? | 07:21 |
| nunuyabiz | cheater00 what version of ubuntu are you running? | 07:21 |
| ayecee | sangeeth: hah! that's funny. | 07:21 |
| cheater00 | 10.04 LTS | 07:21 |
| ruan | ohsix: i tried to install OSS before this happened, not from source though | 07:21 |
| sangeeth | ayecee: Which is??? | 07:21 |
| ruan | sound was very choppy in OSS | 07:22 |
| ohsix | ruan: well there you go, just revert it and forget OSS exists; come back with your real problem and we'll fix it without papering over it :] | 07:22 |
| noisewaterphd | sangeeth, should be straightforward if you are comfortable building from source, or maybe gnome has a .deb download already, i don't know. | 07:22 |
| RealOpty | Anyone use OpenWRT :D ? | 07:22 |
| nunuyabiz | cheater00 it will upgrade to 10.10 | 07:22 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: Cool | 07:22 |
| ruan | ohsix: how do i revert it? remove the packages? | 07:22 |
| ayecee | sangeeth: the idea that any gnome project would be easy to compile :) | 07:22 |
| ayecee | RealOpty: kind of the wrong channel, eh? | 07:22 |
| noisewaterphd | sangeeth: i'd just hit http://gnome3.org and see what is available. | 07:22 |
| cheater00 | nunuyabiz: but i chose not to upgrade to 10.10 when it first came out, why would it be mentioning the upgrade now? | 07:22 |
| noisewaterphd | sangeeth: and report back your experience because I'm considering checking it out myself | 07:22 |
| ohsix | ruan: what's the package name? | 07:23 |
| RealOpty | ayecee, nah, just wondering if any one that uses ubuntu uses it :) | 07:23 |
| ayecee | RealOpty: in that case, yes :) | 07:23 |
| nunuyabiz | cheater00 you don't need to upgrade, and you don't have to. Just don't click on the upgrade button and close the update manager | 07:23 |
| ruan | ohsix: oss4-base | 07:23 |
| ruan | ohsix: and oss4-compat and gtk | 07:23 |
| ohsix | ruan: chances are the package blacklists all of the alsa modules too | 07:24 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: I had already checked it out... The beta version before 3 days... It's real awesome... Especially the modifications for chat and Activities, a new addition are superb... | 07:24 |
| ruan | it does | 07:24 |
| cheater00 | nunuyabiz: ok, but why is it all of a sudden mentioning the upgrade at all? | 07:24 |
| ohsix | ruan: ok purge it | 07:24 |
| Nick_Meister | hello guys i tried to update my 10.10 to 11 and now it freezes at startup | 07:24 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: Just do it, sudo apt-get install gnome3-session | 07:24 |
| nunuyabiz | cheater00 It's just letting you know. I don't upgrade because I want LTS | 07:24 |
| Nick_Meister | i am able to drop into root shell and start up gdm from there | 07:24 |
| ruan | ok brb, rebooting | 07:24 |
| Nick_Meister | but other than that normal boot freezes | 07:24 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: I already got it, but not getting any update for the first stable release | 07:24 |
| cheater00 | nunuyabiz: but it let me know a few months back already | 07:25 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: Will try to build it | 07:25 |
| cheater00 | nunuyabiz: why would it "let me know" again? | 07:25 |
| icedtea | Nick_Meister sounds like a video card driver problem | 07:25 |
| RealOpty | ayecee, i <3 openwrt. do you use ushare at all? | 07:25 |
| ayecee | RealOpty: never heard of it | 07:25 |
| nunuyabiz | cheater00 it will always let you know. It doesn't matter if it lets you know | 07:25 |
| Nick_Meister | icedtea, so what should i do>??? | 07:25 |
| icedtea | Nick_Meister: look at the xorg.log in /var/log | 07:25 |
| cheater00 | nunuyabiz: then why did it not let me know every time i ran the upgrade manager for the last 6 months? | 07:26 |
| nunuyabiz | cheater00 just a fluke! | 07:26 |
| cheater00 | where does this fluke come from? i want to figure it out | 07:26 |
| noisewaterphd | sangeeth: it looks like the gnome3 website hasnt even been updated yet which is wierd. you wouldnt think they would send out a press release before the site is ready? here is a link to the press release though: http://www.gnome.org/press/2011/04/gnome-3-0-released-better-for-users-developers-3/ | 07:26 |
| icedtea | Nick_Meister: Xorg.0.log, sorry | 07:26 |
| RealOpty | ayecee, its a upnp streamer thingy. love it. just needs a the ability to transcode on the fly. | 07:26 |
| nunuyabiz | cheater00 it doesn't matter. That's all that matters. | 07:26 |
| Nick_Meister | icedtea, where can i find that? | 07:26 |
| ruan | ohsix: thanks! my sound works now | 07:26 |
| cheater00 | i don't think you have helped me | 07:27 |
| ruan | evil oss :( | 07:27 |
| ohsix | ruan: np, why did you bother with OSS? | 07:27 |
| icedtea | Nick_Meister: its in "/var/log" folder | 07:27 |
| ruan | ohsix: a game needed it | 07:27 |
| ayecee | RealOpty: transcoding on the fly sounds processor intensive | 07:27 |
| nunuyabiz | cheater00 feel fortunate, now you have a purpose in life! | 07:27 |
| ruan | ohsix: sound was choppy with its version | 07:27 |
| ohsix | ruan: padsp or aoss didn't work? | 07:27 |
| Nick_Meister | icedtea, ok ill brb going to go check it out | 07:27 |
| ruan | ohsix: havent tried aoss, padsp came out choppy, original game had no sound at all | 07:27 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: Just check this out... Goto gnome.org and then click on the banner that's appearing... | 07:27 |
| nunuyabiz | cheater00 I'm really trying! | 07:27 |
| cheater00 | i don't think so | 07:28 |
| cheater00 | ok, never mind | 07:28 |
| ruan | woah | 07:28 |
| ruan | now it's not choppy anymore | 07:28 |
| cheater00 | maybe there's someone else who actually knows | 07:28 |
| RealOpty | ayecee, it is indeed. i just need to find a codec that works on the PS3 and XBMC | 07:28 |
| ayecee | RealOpty: oh hey, that looks useful | 07:28 |
| noisewaterphd | sangeeth: thanks, found it | 07:28 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: No problem :) !!! | 07:28 |
| ohsix | ruan: pulse can get a little messed up if it's long lived, something with the resampler and swapping out; i haven't tracked it down, but it is safe to kill it if you suspect it is messing up, it will restart itself | 07:29 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: It is really cool... I suggest you to try it... | 07:29 |
| nunuyabiz | cheater00 you could be that someone! what an honor! | 07:29 |
| ayecee | i bet rhythmbox would like talking to that | 07:29 |
| Nick_Meister | icedtea, the last thing that it says is NVIDIA using gamma correction and boom EOF | 07:29 |
| cheater00 | nunuyabiz: please stop trolling | 07:29 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: Also, for its complete features try some features description in any site... | 07:29 |
| RealOpty | ayecee, rythmbox needs a upnp client integrated. | 07:30 |
| ayecee | cheater00: what was your question? | 07:30 |
| noisewaterphd | sangeeth: here is what looks like a decent write up on installing gnome3 on ubuntu from the source repo: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/install-gnome-shell-from-git-in-ubuntu.html | 07:30 |
| ayecee | RealOpty: doesn't it have one? I don't have it handy to check | 07:30 |
| ayecee | RealOpty: maybe as a plugin | 07:30 |
| ohsix | it does have one, you just need to turn it on | 07:30 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: Checking it out... | 07:31 |
| noisewaterphd | sangeeth: ya, I plan to install it this week and see what's up. I'm testing out unity on 11.04 right now, and so far I'm not very impressed at all | 07:31 |
| RealOpty | ayecee, i dont remember seeing it in the pluin list | 07:31 |
| * RealOpty looks again | 07:31 | |
| icedtea | Nick_Meister: if you hit ctrl+alt+f1 can you return to a console? | 07:31 |
| Jordan_U | cheater00: To have it only prompt for LTS releases go to System > Administration > Software Sources and change the "Show new distribution releases:" option to "Long Term support releases only". | 07:31 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: Oh !! Let's Wait till it gets perfect !!! | 07:32 |
| icedtea | Nick_Meister: or does X just freeze up | 07:32 |
| Nick_Meister | icedtea, nope complete freeze | 07:32 |
| jingqq5210 | icedtea: that's tty | 07:32 |
| icedtea | jingqq5210: ty | 07:32 |
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: But, I love GNOME 3... Try it right now... sudo apt-get install gnome3-session | 07:32 |
| === newbie is now known as Guest83073 | ||
| sangeeth | noisewaterphd: It's really COOOOOL... | 07:32 |
| cheater00 | Jordan_U: that's the weird thing, i remember having set it when 10.10 first came out, and it still is set. what do you think is going on? | 07:33 |
| RealOpty | ohsix, where can i find this plugin? | 07:33 |
| icedtea | Nick_Meister: where you using the nvidia closed source drivers before? | 07:33 |
| ohsix | RealOpty: in the options | 07:33 |
| Momen | hi all my problem after install lamp and php5 all my systm not work how can add php4 in server | 07:34 |
| Nick_Meister | icedtea, i was using nvidia-current package | 07:34 |
| noisewaterphd | sangeeth: i may do it sooner than later, ive got a multiboot system and im using natty right now. I'll probably boot back into meerkat to install gnome3 though. Maybe tomorrow | 07:35 |
| panfist | i'm trying to delete a user but i get an error that the user is logged in | 07:35 |
| RealOpty | ohsix, its not in the plugin list lol or 'options' | 07:35 |
| Jordan_U | cheater00: Can you pastebin your /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades? | 07:35 |
| NoPasaran | hey guys | 07:35 |
| NoPasaran | got a problem | 07:35 |
| NoPasaran | ain't there a firefox 4 for ubuntu yet ? | 07:35 |
| panfist | but, if i ps ef|grep username or |grep uid, nothing shows up | 07:35 |
| ohsix | RealOpty: hm | 07:36 |
| sangeeth | NoPasaran: Firefox 4 will be inbuilt in Ubuntu 11.04 | 07:36 |
| cheater00 | it's just "[DEFAULT]", comments, and "prompt=lts". (without the quotes) | 07:36 |
| NoPasaran | ok thanks | 07:36 |
| ohsix | RealOpty: it's here, theres a rhythmbox-plugins package, but i don't remember having to had it installed and it's worked as long as i can remember | 07:36 |
| cheater00 | Jordan_U: ^ | 07:37 |
| Jordan_U | cheater00: "prompt" or "Prompt"? | 07:37 |
| systemf1 | join #ubuntu cn | 07:37 |
| cheater00 | lowercase. | 07:37 |
| ohsix | RealOpty: hm it's not here anymore, let me look into it | 07:37 |
| systemf1 | 中文如何进入？ | 07:38 |
| Jordan_U | cheater00: Try changing it to "Prompt" then. | 07:38 |
| cheater00 | Jordan_U: ok. how does it look on your installation? | 07:38 |
| icedtea | Nick_Meister: can you post the Xorg.0.log somewhere? | 07:38 |
| ohsix | RealOpty: it's in rhythmbox-plugin-coherence, i forgot i reinstalled | 07:38 |
| Jordan_U | cheater00: Prompt=normal | 07:38 |
| noisewaterphd | NoPasaran: firefox4 is in the package manager right now. just sudo apt-get install firefox | 07:38 |
| Nick_Meister | icedtea, do you happen to know the command line tool to send files to pastebin>>>??? | 07:38 |
| Nick_Meister | cause its a different computer | 07:39 |
| RealOpty | ohsix, ty :) | 07:39 |
| Momen | any answer | 07:39 |
| Jordan_U | !pastebinit | Nick_Meister | 07:39 |
| ubottu | Nick_Meister: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 07:39 |
| noisewaterphd | NoPasaran: its been there for at least a week, because i installed it about a week ago | 07:39 |
| cheater00 | Jordan_U: that has not changed the behaviour of update-manager | 07:39 |
| Jordan_U | cheater00: Can you post a screenshot? | 07:39 |
| Nick_Meister | i tried apt-get pastebininit and it said not found | 07:40 |
| icedtea | apt-get install pastebininit | 07:41 |
| nunuyabiz | Nick_Meister go to paste.ubuntu.com | 07:41 |
| Nick_Meister | icedtea, it did not work | 07:41 |
| Jordan_U | Nick_Meister: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 07:41 |
| Nick_Meister | dont work.... | 07:41 |
| ohsix | cheater00: it has an upgrade button but doesn't say what version? its safe to click on that button btw, it will bring up a readme about the new release; which you can cancel | 07:42 |
| Chr|s | It should. Dbl check | 07:42 |
| Jordan_U | Nick_Meister: Please pastebin the exact output of "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" | 07:42 |
| Nick_Meister | wth.... | 07:42 |
| cheater00 | ohsix: no it has a "partial upgrade" button | 07:42 |
| cheater00 | ohsix, Jordan_U: http://tinyurl.com/3vhgugh | 07:43 |
| ohsix | cheater00: peculiar | 07:43 |
| Jordan_U | cheater00: Partial upgrade is not the same as distribution upgrade. Partial upgrade is most likely caused by a PPA. | 07:43 |
| cheater00 | yes! | 07:43 |
| cheater00 | Jordan_U: hmm.. | 07:43 |
| ohsix | (ppas should be purged before upgrades) | 07:43 |
| ohsix | cheater00: ahh that is a different dialogue than most people would think based on what you have said | 07:44 |
| cheater00 | ohsix: "purged"? what does this mean? | 07:44 |
| ohsix | cheater00: it doesn't mean a distro upgrade, it means among the packages with new versions, it can only handle partially upgrading them | 07:44 |
| cheater00 | hmmmm | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | cheater00: Partial upgrade means that some packages have been held back or need to be removed to complete the upgrade. As the message states this shouldn't normally happen with a stable release, unless you are using third party packages / repositories. | 07:45 |
| cheater00 | ok, sorry about the confusion then | 07:45 |
| ohsix | cheater00: i was talking about distro upgrades, (say 10.04 -> 10.10, which this isn't is) but the package ppa-purge removes and pins original versions to restore your system as if the ppa hadn't been installed | 07:45 |
| ohsix | cheater00: no problem | 07:45 |
| cheater00 | ohsix: so was i - i thought it was a distro upgrade | 07:45 |
| cheater00 | how do i find out any details about what cannot be "upgraded"? | 07:45 |
| ohsix | anyone have a clue to how to get aptitude to prefer solutions that will do holds over any installs or removals | 07:45 |
| Jordan_U | cheater00: Run "sudo apt-get upgrade" in a terminal. | 07:45 |
| ohsix | cheater00: i'd use aptitude, synaptic can probably give you a list too; but i don't use it | 07:46 |
| NoPasaran | noisewaterphd: did you find it in Synaptic? | 07:46 |
| ljsoftnet | where do i get skype the full version, not the beta version? | 07:46 |
| cheater00 | The following packages have been kept back: winetricks ok, makes perfect sense | 07:47 |
| cheater00 | thanks guys! | 07:47 |
| systemf1 | ubuntu cn | 07:47 |
| erkan^ | what mean %u example firefox %u for a command? | 07:47 |
| icedtea | ljsoftnet: I think they only offer the beta version right now | 07:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | erkan^, that would be to pass firefox a variable, like a file name | 07:48 |
| ljsoftnet | icedtea ah ok, you know where i can get the 2.1 version? | 07:48 |
| erkan^ | ow ok | 07:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | erkan^, or a url, of course | 07:48 |
| icedtea | ljsoftnet: not been released yet I believe. I check the website ever so often | 07:49 |
| erkan^ | Seven_Six_Two, sorry for pm. i am tried a url | 07:49 |
| icedtea | ljsoftnet: www.skype.com has deb's to install from there | 07:49 |
| ljsoftnet | icedtea the latest beta version, is showing a very dark color on my webcam | 07:50 |
| systemf1 | ubuntu 中文聊天室如何进入？ | 07:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | erkan^, no problem. if it is calling that in a shortcut or menu item, it would also be use with "open with" in context menus and such | 07:50 |
| erkan^ | yes i understand it | 07:50 |
| kreantos | hi | 07:50 |
| icedtea | systemf1: #ubuntu-cn | 07:50 |

| systemf1 | #ubuntu-cn | 07:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | systemf1, !ubuntu-cn | 07:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | err... | 07:51 |
| thumb1040 | i'm having some audio problems. mp3blaster is saying "failed to open sound device." my audio works on rythmbox and movie player though. any thoughts? | 07:52 |
| arand | kreantos: no, and #ubuntu+1 for support | 07:52 |

| kreantos | ok, thanky you | 07:52 |
| blocky | anybody able to tell me why I can't get tftpd running no matter what I try? | 07:52 |
| blocky | dnsmasq is supposed to enable it, no? | 07:53 |
| icedtea | ljsoftnet: strange, yeah the skype beta for linux isn't as nice as the windows one unfortunately, they really haven't put that much time into it and it shows | 07:54 |
| * RealOpty trys gnome3 | 07:55 | |
| ljsoftnet | icedtea ok thanks, im gonna try 2.1 which worked, im downloading it rigth now | 07:55 |
| RealOpty | um lol gnome3 reminds me of a crippled netbook running ubuntu | 07:57 |
| ohsix | :] | 07:57 |
| noisewaterphd | RealOpty: you should try unity if you think gnome3 is bad | 07:59 |
| noisewaterphd | I see my self revisiting xcfe in the near future | 08:00 |
| RealOpty | ^- same | 08:00 |
| ohsix | or the classic session | 08:00 |
| RealOpty | <3 terminal | 08:00 |
| noisewaterphd | well, if i have to bother messing with defaults, i slightly prefer xfce anyway so I would go back. gnome2 isnt bad enough to warrant the small amount of work, unity on the other hand definitely does | 08:01 |
| RealOpty | does flash work in lynx LOL ? | 08:01 |
| noisewaterphd | should | 08:02 |
| ohsix | RealOpty: it probably could with great effort, or for silliness, but i don't know of anyone who has done such things :] | 08:02 |
| RealOpty | at least someone caught my humor | 08:03 |
| noisewaterphd | apparently you missed mine | 08:03 |
| RealOpty | lol :) why am i awake at 3 am? | 08:04 |
| nunuyabiz | I noticed it <silently> | 08:04 |
| noisewaterphd | east coast eh? | 08:04 |
| Seven_Six_Two | RealOpty, maybe you are like me, and think better when nobody else is around. | 08:04 |
| RealOpty | I do love quiet time. | 08:05 |
| RealOpty | oh yeh now i remember ! | 08:06 |
| RealOpty | anyone use XBMC? | 08:06 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I have in the past | 08:07 |
| RealOpty | like on the oldschool xbox? | 08:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | no, on a pc | 08:07 |
| Seven_Six_Two | oh, yes. like that. but it was in ubuntu | 08:07 |
| NoPasaran | noisewaterphd: still have problems with firefox | 08:08 |
| nunuyabiz | Other than gnome, I only use ice on my server | 08:08 |
| MK` | If I put my home directory on a separate partition, is it easier for me to resize that partition later? | 08:09 |
| kriscolt | anyone know the apt-get line for grabbing codecs? | 08:09 |
| RealOpty | I have a NAS that runs OpenWRT, i use ushare to stream my media to 3 xbox's, 2 ps3s, and a few computers. i need a codec that works on all. | 08:09 |
| jiger | HI, quick question is there anyway that i can play " rtsp link extension .wsx in vlc player? well its live feed. all comments/help welcome. | 08:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MK`, no | 08:09 |
| noisewaterphd | NoPasaran: what problems | 08:09 |
| nit-wit | kriscolt, which codecs | 08:09 |
| tyreza | hello there | 08:09 |
| jiger | is there anyone can help please? or is there anyway to download or convert that stream to another wmv or any other extension? | 08:09 |
| kriscolt | um... all of them? | 08:09 |
| nunuyabiz | kriscolt do a google on medibuntu | 08:09 |
| NoPasaran | is just say " firefox is already the newest version. | 08:10 |
| kriscolt | i think i'm trying to play divx or xvid | 08:10 |
| tyreza | hello there | 08:10 |
| robbiethe1st | Hey guys - Simple question: what's a good way of 'preloading' a copy of Ubuntu onto a spare harddisk(from within a ubuntu install)? | 08:10 |
| phrozen | hi I made sudo adduser --system --no-create-home --group svn | 08:10 |
| phrozen | and now I am trying to connect via ssh and ubuntu wants password to log in - when I turned on users manager then I can not see user svn - where is a problem - how to set up the password? | 08:10 |
| tyreza | how to ping 3 ip at same time ? | 08:10 |
| nit-wit | kriscolt, for general stuff in the terminal sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras if your runninh=g ubuntu | 08:10 |
| NoPasaran | and i can't find it in Synaptic | 08:10 |
| tyreza | i mean how to ping 3 URL same time | 08:10 |
| MK` | Ah, so I need to have both mounted at all times? | 08:10 |
| tyreza | i mean is it possible to ping : $ping www.bing.com www.google.fr www.yahoo.fr | 08:11 |
| noisewaterphd | NoPasaran: sorry, i though it was there by default, it looks like you actually need to add this repository: ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable | 08:11 |
| tyreza | at the same time ? | 08:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MK`, if you only have / and /home then more or less. You don't have to have /home mounted unless you want to do something user related. | 08:11 |
| phrozen | Adding new system user `svn' (UID 117)... | 08:12 |
| phrozen | adding a system user `svn' (UID 117) to group `svn'... | 08:12 |
| robbiethe1st | tyreza: Uh... why? | 08:12 |
| phrozen | and now I am trying to connect via ssh and ubuntu wants password to log in - when I turned on users manager then I can not see user svn - where is a problem - how to set up the password? | 08:12 |
| tyreza | just liket that | 08:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MK`, which of course is just about everything except fixing stuff | 08:12 |
| NoPasaran | <noisewaterphd: thanks I will try that | 08:12 |
| gaurav_help | while updating my ubuntu 10.10 is Shows me error "requires Installlation of untrusted packaages | 08:12 |
| folorn | oof | 08:12 |
| MJBrune | how many packages are there in ubuntu and what is a site that can tell me this number? | 08:12 |
| robbiethe1st | tyreza: Uh... I'd just open three terminals, run 'ping X' in one, 'ping y' in the second etc. | 08:12 |
| noisewaterphd | NoPasaran: So in ubuntu software center choose Settings>Repositories>Other Software, click on the add button and paste in that PPA | 08:13 |
| folorn | depends on how many programs u dled | 08:13 |
| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: Uh... a lot. Many thousand | 08:13 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MJBrune, !repos | 08:13 |
| MJBrune | robbiethe1st: I understand this, freebsd has 22k in ports and tells this. | 08:13 |

| MJBrune | Seven_Six_Two: none of these say a number. | 08:14 |
| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: Hm, let me check. apt may give that info | 08:14 |
| folorn | im haveing a minor problem with tor and need the right repos i think possibly anyone know the correct ones so it will recongize and find them when i go to update before the install? | 08:14 |
| MJBrune | robbiethe1st: probably wont | 08:15 |
| nunuyabiz | gaurav_help that probably means that you have installed packeges on your box that are not in the supported reposetories | 08:15 |
| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: Uh... why not? it has a cache file with the entire list | 08:15 |
| MJBrune | robbiethe1st: ok sorry, i meant it might but that wont help me if its not on a website. | 08:15 |
| MK` | I know you can't alter the size of the / partition without using a livecd, but if I have /home on another partition, can I unmount it to resize it, then remount it, I mean? | 08:15 |
| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: well, at least of all the ones in the repos you have enabled | 08:15 |
| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: Uh... why? | 08:16 |
| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: what are you trying to do? | 08:16 |
| MJBrune | robbiethe1st: creating a report. | 08:16 |
| MJBrune | robbiethe1st: i need hardcore statistics. | 08:16 |
| gaurav_help | nunuyabiz, so what i do | 08:16 |
| nunuyabiz | MK that would depend on if you have free space eg. if you want to increase the size | 08:16 |

| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: Well, cite it as being from apt in Ubuntu 10.10. Anyone who actually cares can look it up | 08:17 |
| pc_ | i am confused | 08:17 |
| pc_ | has any installed justlinux | 08:17 |
| tyreza | that's not a good solution robbiethe1st | 08:18 |
| MJBrune | robbiethe1st: ok how many are there? | 08:18 |
| nunuyabiz | gaurav_help personally, I would just go ahead and upgrade because I am the one that installed any unsupported packages | 08:18 |
| MJBrune | robbiethe1st: thats a piss poor way to cite but meh im not a stickler | 08:18 |
| asadeddin | Hey all. I have a problem that i need some help with. We're moving from one ip to another and I need to update the MX record, doing this will give me some downtime because i have to wait for the thing to propagate and then swtich the hardware and software setup | 08:19 |
| asadeddin | <asadeddin> is there a way i can setup the new MX record while keeping the old one so that the new one propagates and then i can switch the hardware and software setup quickly then i can delete the old record | 08:19 |

| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: So, incase you missed that - 35013 for my system with Universe/multiverse and some other bits enabled | 08:21 |
| MJBrune | robbiethe1st: :/ thats not accurate. | 08:22 |
| MJBrune | robbiethe1st: thanks anyways. | 08:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MJBrune, 32,218 for me. 10.10 with everything but sources enabled | 08:22 |
| nunuyabiz | gaurav_help are you updating from the update manager? When it give you an error, does it give you a "Details" button? | 08:23 |
| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: Uh... how is it not accurate? I mean... it's going to vary based on the version used, the repos enabled and such | 08:23 |
| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: Best you could get is a per-repo/version table... But even that's subject to change | 08:23 |
| gaurav_help | nunuyabiz, yes its shows me | 08:24 |
| MJBrune | robbiethe1st: yeah your pull of wc -l could mean that the description took 2 lines or more | 08:24 |
| folorn | im haveing a problem finding the right source's for it could anyone help? | 08:24 |
| nunuyabiz | what are the details? post them in pastebin or tinyurl | 08:24 |
| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: Doesn't work that way. Pipe it through less witrh a wider console; they all are on one line excluding wordwrap | 08:25 |
| robbiethe1st | MJBrune: and it doesn't count that. | 08:25 |
| nit-wit | folorn, http://www.torproject.org/ | 08:25 |
| nunuyabiz | gaurav_help you need to run apt_get update in the terminal | 08:26 |
| nit-wit | folorn, tor has it's limitations in speed and privacy, read up on it. | 08:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | robbiethe1st, that's what I would do too, but my synaptic says 32218 and your command counts 30469. I don't know why | 08:26 |
| robbiethe1st | Seven_Six_Two: Uh, it should. I've got different sources enabled. | 08:27 |
| gaurav_help | nunuyabiz, then after running that in terminal what i will do | 08:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | robbiethe1st, lol. I'm an idiot. I forgot I had ssh'd into my server :/ | 08:27 |

| folorn | i know nitwit im on the torproject just haveing trouble with the sources. think u can help? | 08:28 |
| MK` | Yeah say I have [/] [space] [/home] and I want to expand /home into that space | 08:28 |
| MK` | can I do that without a livecd? | 08:28 |
| red | Can anyone help me with SSH tunneling? | 08:28 |

| red | I need to route my internet access on this PC through a remote server | 08:29 |
| sobersab1e | when I am trying to pop up update manager, I am still being asked for password for user1. | 08:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MK`, I created a partition, and set it to mount at /home/username/storage | 08:29 |
| === nuke is now known as Guest83256 | ||
| sobersab1e | Why is it so, and how do I fix this ? | 08:29 |
| robbiethe1st | red: Easy. PM me | 08:29 |
| Cheery | I plan migrating to nginx on my server. But before I'm going to install one, does ubuntu have a process manager that'd particularly let me provide multiple instances of nginx all with different configs? | 08:29 |
| === Guest83256 is now known as nuke_ | ||
| Seven_Six_Two | MK`, so you don't have to resize your home in most cases | 08:29 |
| dragonkeeper | Whats the best graphics driver to use with ubuntu 10.10, i have a hd 5770 | 08:30 |
| sobersab1e | Cheery: what do you mean by "provide" | 08:30 |
| Cheery | (and different users) | 08:30 |
| MK` | Ok. I just wanted to know if what I said was possible | 08:30 |
| rodhash | Hey guys.. I'd to install gnome3-session, but how can I make a backup of my entire system? This is my work computer and I can't take the risk of any problem.. I'd have a big problem if I can't login.. | 08:30 |
| Cheery | sobersab1e: well I'll need one root nginx to proxy around things, and many user nginx to serve each site in it's own user space. | 08:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | MK`, it's possible to resize. I wouldn't try it without a live cd, and I wouldn't do it if I had important data. If you got it wrong you can always start over,,, | 08:31 |
| Cheery | sobersab1e: and I'd need to get them start up on boot | 08:31 |
| sobersab1e | Cheery: I don't understand your sentences. I understand each word though. | 08:31 |
| MK` | Ok. It's a fresh install and /home is empty | 08:32 |
| MK` | right now it's on the same partition as / | 08:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | rodhash, a live cd, and dd will give you a bit by bit image | 08:32 |
| Cheery | sobersab1e: it's common that ppl don't understand me. but you understand this right? | 08:32 |
| sobersab1e | the last sentence - I do understand. | 08:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | rodhash, if you don't mind bash | 08:32 |
| sobersab1e | and partially some of the previous ones. speak simply. makes it clearer. moment. | 08:32 |
| Cheery | sobersab1e: 1. I need to define bunch of processes to start up at boot. | 08:32 |
| rodhash | Seven_Six_Two: what do you mean? | 08:33 |
| Cheery | sobersab1e: 2. I'd like to have a way to stop and restart them. | 08:33 |
| sobersabre | I'm back. | 08:33 |
| Cheery | sobersabre: how to do those things? :) | 08:33 |
| sobersabre | Cheery: I don't think this is the right channel. | 08:33 |
| sobersabre | it's app-specific domain. | 08:33 |
| sobersabre | go to nginx related chan, IMHO. | 08:34 |
| Cheery | ubuntu is a distribution, it has a process manager. | 08:34 |
| sobersabre | Cheery by "process manager" you mean an app to show you the processes running, etc. ? | 08:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | rodhash, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) | 08:35 |
| mark-a | hey, i knwow this is a bad idea but need it for torubleshooting: can i get a python script to run with su permissions or the permissions of a particular user? | 08:35 |
| ferengee | red, all your trafic? or just one port | 08:35 |
| Cheery | sobersabre: nah. that'd be `top` - display linux tasks | 08:35 |
| sobersabre | Cheery: then wtf are you talking about... ? | 08:35 |
| sobersabre | what is "process" you're talking about ? | 08:35 |
| Cheery | sobersabre: process manager is a program that starts and stops processes autonomously. | 08:36 |
| theos | hi! the beep sound in my system suddenly changed to static sound. how can i change it? | 08:36 |
| theos | like a buzz | 08:36 |
| Cheery | sobersabre: process is an instance of program, executing the program in system memory. | 08:37 |
| theos | its called "alert sound". it was "default" but now its an annoying buzz sound | 08:38 |
| folorn | does anyone know anything better than tor thats user friendly that accomplish's about the same thing | 08:38 |
| NoPasaran | noisewaterphd: you are the demigod of the day, thanks for the help! | 08:38 |
| theos | folorn, tried a shell? | 08:39 |
| folorn | that doesnt protect the browser? | 08:39 |
| krage | how do you go under a proxy via ubuntu netbook remix | 08:40 |
| nunuyabiz | Cheery do you want to run something like apache virtual hosts in ngix? | 08:40 |
| rodhash | Guys, what if I run 'dd' with the ubuntu running? Will it work? | 08:41 |
| Cheery | nunuyabiz: well nginx does virtual hosts, but I need to protect the web apps from each other too. that's why I'll put them into their own user space each. | 08:41 |
| Cheery | I guess I found what I need anyway though. | 08:41 |
| biopyte | hi, how can i preload openoffice at startup, so its starts faster once i need it? and how can i preload the ubuntu main menu, so there is no delay clicking it the first time? | 08:42 |
| === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ | ||
| Seven_Six_Two | rodhash, not a good idea on a mounted partition and open files. unmounted only, which means live. There are ways to backup without imaging. there are quite a few solutions listed in synaptic | 08:42 |
| folorn | you know much about that torproject theos? | 08:42 |
| nunuyabiz | Cheery doesn't apache do that? in other words it gives each virtual user its own configuration. | 08:43 |
| rodhash | Seven_Six_Two: Ok, another question: I'm using LVM, can I back up only the system or should I back up the entire disk? | 08:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | rodhash, I have never used lvm, so I will have to defer to someone who has. sorry. | 08:44 |
| Cheery | nunuyabiz: yeah, and I've got apache running as well, but I'm bored to apache and the messy configs it has. | 08:44 |
| nunuyabiz | Cheery what solution did you find? | 08:44 |
| Cheery | nunuyabiz: I guess I'll need to write a python script which I'll then position into /etc/init.d/ | 08:45 |
| Cheery | nunuyabiz: not sure yet how I'll make it run at bootup | 08:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | rodhash, a quick search reveals that dd isn't recommended with lvm, but a filesystem backup would be easiest. | 08:45 |
| user123456 | :) | 08:50 |
| MK` | does /home contain anything aside from user-specific settings? | 08:52 |
| MK` | Like, if I installed a new version of ubuntu, would it touch /home at all? etc. | 08:52 |
| tuxx- | MK`: not only the user specific settings, but also their files. | 08:52 |
| MK` | yeah of course | 08:52 |
| tuxx- | depends on what your setup is. Is your /home directory on your root partition? Or did you place it on a seperate partition? | 08:53 |
| MK` | It's on the root partition right now, I am reading up how to move it to a separate partition | 08:53 |
| MK` | but once I do move it | 08:54 |
| V3NOM | hi guys | 08:54 |
| MK` | hi | 08:54 |
| tuxx- | best thing to do, in my opinion, is backup /home, install the new system with a /home partition, and copy them back :-P | 08:54 |
| V3NOM | does it exist a ubuntu news channel or something like that? | 08:54 |
| MK` | This is a brand new install of linux btw | 08:54 |

| MK` | should I login as root for that | 09:02 |
| MK` | or use any admin user | 09:02 |

| ruan | depends on the command | 09:03 |
| MK` | I thought it would limit it somehow heh | 09:03 |

| LarsTO | Hi! | 09:15 |
| kjesle | Will the new Gnome 3 work for ubuntu 10.10? | 09:15 |
| LarsTO | No | 09:16 |
| theos | must be buggy | 09:16 |
| LarsTO | Hope somebody can help me too | 09:16 |
| ikonia | LarsTO: you need to ask a question | 09:16 |
| LarsTO | ok | 09:17 |
| LarsTO | well ... start at the beginning | 09:17 |
| ikonia | LarsTO: just summerise your question | 09:17 |
| LarsTO | it was a sunny day i walked around in the park garden. i thought and thought ...windows is expensive | 09:17 |
| LarsTO | ok well | 09:17 |
| Vanquish349 | thia channel is impossible to talk on | 09:17 |
| ikonia | Vanquish349: what's up ? | 09:18 |
| theos | haha | 09:18 |
| LarsTO | i want using Gnome 2 ! or at least gnome 3 but not unity | 09:18 |
| theos | LarsTO, you can try the gnome shell for the time being | 09:18 |
| ikonia | LarsTO: gnome 2 is available in ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 10.10 | 09:18 |
| LarsTO | in the next ubuntu editions... no possibility ?? only advice changing to xfce ? | 09:18 |
| saini | oblem | 09:19 |
| ikonia | LarsTO: use what ever desktop manager you like, all have pros/cons, gnome/kde/xfce/fluxbox etc, try them see what works for you | 09:19 |
| LarsTO | i want gnome | 09:19 |
| theos | LarsTO, (will be buggy) sudo apt-get install gnome-shell , gnome-shell --replace | 09:19 |
| saini | x11/keysym.h not found problem | 09:19 |
| ikonia | LarsTO: ok, so then you are limited to ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 10.10 for gnome 2 | 09:19 |
| LarsTO | and ubuntu 11.04 | 09:20 |
| LarsTO | it is also gnome 2 | 09:20 |
| ikonia | LarsTO: that is upgraded to a later version of the gnome base | 09:20 |
| LarsTO | but not ubuntu 11.10 | 09:20 |
| benzaldehyde | Are there any hotkeys like nano has ctrl+w to search through a manpage? | 09:20 |
| ikonia | 11.10 doesn't exist yet | 09:20 |
| LarsTO | yes i know | 09:20 |
| LarsTO | but i read any articlesa | 09:20 |
| benzaldehyde | and firefox has ctrl+f etc. | 09:20 |
| saini | x11/keysym not found | 09:21 |
| ikonia | LarsTO: then it's wrong - as 11.10 doesn't exist so people don't know what's available in it | 09:21 |

| avinashhm | Hi , is there any way to specifiy which all applications to run after a machine boots up ?? ex - i want xchat to be launched on a restart ... any way to do that ? | 09:27 |
| ikonia | rodhash: if canonical push out gnome3, but put gnome2 packages in the repos you can downgrade, if not, you're limited to gnome3 | 09:27 |
| ruan | Karen_m: or run gksudo software-properties-gtk | 09:27 |
| rodhash | ikonia: so, can I back up the current packages installed and reinstall later in case of any issue occurs? | 09:27 |
| ikonia | rodhash: what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 09:28 |
| nunuyabiz | rodhash I'm not gonna touch gnome 3 for a while. I'm sticking with LTS 10.4 | 09:28 |
| rodhash | ikonia: 10.10 | 09:28 |
| saini | command for install x11 package | 09:28 |
| ruan | saini: which x11 package? | 09:28 |
| ikonia | rodhash: ok, so 10.10 uses gnome2, so there shouldn't be a problem | 09:28 |
| Karen_m | ruan, the weird thing is.. multiverse is selected | 09:28 |
| benzaldehyde | nunuyabiz: not a bad idea, LTS is released every two years? | 09:28 |

| rodhash | ikonia: I hope so, but I'm using a lot of softwares from my company.. and I'm worried if any of them gets any incompatibility | 09:30 |
| ikonia | saini: yes, and I've told you what to do | 09:30 |
| benzaldehyde | nunuyabiz: and now, i am gonna wiki search to prove you wrong, because, i have no wife, uh uh i mean life :D | 09:30 |
| ikonia | rodhash: why ? 10.10 uses gnome2 NOT gnome3, so any problems with gnome3 won't affect 10.10 as it doesn't use gnome3 | 09:31 |
| saini | command & process | 09:31 |
| nunuyabiz | benzaldehyde same difference | 09:31 |
| ikonia | saini: what ? | 09:31 |
| benzaldehyde | nunuyabiz: my sentiments precisely | 09:32 |
| rodhash | ikonia: Sorry let me explain, I know it uses gnome2 but I wanna upgrade to gnome3.. and my concern is if there's a way to go back in case of any issue.. | 09:32 |
| saini | how i can install it | 09:32 |
| ikonia | rodhash: remove the gnome3 packages, install the gnome2 ones | 09:32 |
| ikonia | saini: open the package manager, browser for the X11-devel packages and install them | 09:32 |

| ruan | Guest86223: you can package it with ubuntu | 09:35 |

| Guest86223 | ikonia: tell me the way of making it | 09:36 |
| ikonia | rodhash: same way as with the gui, add/remove the package names you want | 09:36 |
| ikonia | Guest86223: it's quite complex, you need to research | 09:36 |
| ruan | Karen_m: you don't need to remove it before using sun java. | 09:36 |
| Guest86223 | ikonia:y? wats d reason behind it for not doing it? | 09:36 |
| ruan | Karen_m: i'm running sun java and openjdk fine | 09:36 |
| nunuyabiz | benzaldehyde no 12.04 will be the next LTS | 09:37 |
| Karen_m | idea says openjdk is terrible, that's why I wanted to get rid of it. Ok i will install the sun version... | 09:37 |
| ruan | Karen_m: maybe it's ubuntu-restricted-extras | 09:37 |
| ikonia | Guest86223: because they are not associated technologies, and the kernel packages should be updated by canonical, not you, which can cause a conflict | 09:37 |
| DND | hi guys how can i increase my cpu usage for testing? | 09:37 |
| Guest86223 | ikonia: so there none other way to add any of the package with the kernel | 09:37 |
| Karen_m | do I use that... update-alternatives --config java to enable sun over openjdk? | 09:37 |

| ruan | !lamp | 10:00 |
| ubottu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 10:00 |
| koltroll | Hey guys. Just booted up my ubuntu computer that's running 10.04. I'd like to update to 11.04. Is this possible through the update manager? I only get 10.10 as a option. | 10:01 |
| nunuyabiz | nyuszika7h what method are you using to install | 10:01 |

| LarsTo | hello | 10:01 |
| LarsTo | should i install debian or ubuntu | 10:01 |
| ruan | LarsTo: it's a user decision, but ubuntu is best for beginners | 10:02 |
| U8untu | hey i can`t install ubuntu from USB.. it says No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found! ... and i have checked the MD5SUM and its the same..its OK..what`s the problem ? | 10:02 |
| LarsTo | ok | 10:02 |
| LarsTo | i am using linux since 3 years @ ruan ;) | 10:02 |
| nunuyabiz | koltroll you must update to 10.10 before you can update to 11.4 | 10:02 |
| nunuyabiz | LarsTo go to the debian chanel to ask that | 10:03 |
| ruan | !debian | LarsTo | 10:03 |
| ubottu | LarsTo: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 10:03 |
| koltroll | nunuyabiz, hm ok. Then I haft to make a decision what's faster. Downloading 11.4 make a clean install or make upgrades in steps... =) Thanks | 10:03 |
| nunuyabiz | yep | 10:03 |
| biborn | shcherbak: r u still there? | 10:06 |

| DJones | biborn: I think mint support in is #linuxmint | 10:08 |
| DJones | !mint | 10:08 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 10:08 |

| Moopz | Chr|s, I set Okular to aggressive memory usage, and I have 4GB ram so it's not that. I do use the proprietary FGLRX drivers for my ATI card though. | 10:20 |
| ohsix | Moopz: it could be that | 10:21 |
| Chr|s | Moopz: did you set it to aggressive before or after this problem | 10:21 |
| ohsix | Moopz: generating data "agressively" ahead of time, takes time | 10:21 |
| tester | Hi i need an older version of wuftpd installed in my ubuntu system and I cant install it because the bison/yacc in the system seems incompatible. | 10:22 |
| tester | Please have a look at this http://paste.pocoo.org/show/367070/ | 10:22 |
| Moopz | Chr|s, I set it to aggressive to counter the problem but it doesn't work. | 10:22 |
| ohsix | Moopz: you could also see if the same thing happens in evince | 10:22 |
| fisch246 | anyway i can get help with virtualbox? if not, can i be pointed to a place that will help me? | 10:23 |
| ohsix | fisch246: #vbox, but fair warning, i do not know if its a user support channel personally | 10:23 |
| sipior | fisch246: depends a bit on the sort of problem you're having | 10:23 |
| Moopz | ohsix, same happens in the default Document Viewer | 10:23 |
| tester | Any hints on how i can install wuftpd 2.6.0 on my ubuntu 10.04? | 10:24 |
| ohsix | Moopz: sounds like a challenge! :] | 10:24 |
| fisch246 | sipior: has to do with the screen running past the bottom of my monitor, when switching to fullscreen... | 10:24 |
| sipior | tester: you could of course build it yourself, bearing in mind the risks of running an older version of a network service. | 10:24 |
| ohsix | Moopz: do you get a flurry of disk activity when this happens? | 10:25 |
| Moopz | ohsix, checking 2 secs. | 10:25 |
| sipior | fisch246: the guest monitor resolution is the same as that of the host? | 10:25 |
| fisch246 | sipior: no it's smaller | 10:26 |
| tester | sipior, yes i am aware of it and am trying to build it on my own. However the make fails. Please see http://paste.pocoo.org/show/367070/ | 10:26 |
| skpl | can someone tell me where to find the package automake1.8? | 10:26 |
| Moopz | ohsix, no unusual disk activity, however it overtook one of my CPU threads entirely and used it 100%. | 10:27 |
| ohsix | skpl: do you need 1.8 and 1.8 only? | 10:27 |
| erUSUL | !find automake | 10:27 |

| skpl | ohsix: yes | 10:27 |

| xro | Hi, i'm looking for an rss reader... I want one i get let on my gnome desktop "like a widget" and with good looks... have you an idea? a google gadget? | 10:34 |
| ThePunisher60 | hello | 10:34 |
| sipior | tester: nothing looks terribly out of the ordinary. you *might* consider modifying the makefile to remove the "-y" switch from bison. might be that the file is not compliant with the posix variant. | 10:35 |
| skpl | ruan: how do i do that? | 10:35 |
| ohsix | Moopz: well i wouldn't say that; it sounds like the drawing part is the slow part | 10:35 |
| ThePunisher60 | hello everybody | 10:35 |
| sipior | tester: best bet really is to contact the maintainers, although i suspect they'll just tell you to run the latest version :-) | 10:35 |
| skpl | ruan: would it hurt my installation to use a package from a previous version of ubuntu? | 10:35 |
| sipior | tester: mind if i ask why you need this specific version? | 10:35 |
| fisch246 | ah found the issue >.< | 10:35 |
| ruan | skpl: is 1.8 the latest? | 10:36 |
| nyuszika7h | (: I never knew gedit supported syntax highlighting... Nice! | 10:36 |
| ruan | skpl: it shouldn't hurt, but if you remove the latest you may have dependancy issues | 10:36 |

| bigMike | what's the best approach to managing various apps, say most are based on ubuntu, mysql backed on each virtualised server | 10:49 |

| bigMike | but the apps are largely php driven joomla/drupal etc. | 10:50 |
| bigMike | some rails apps too. Puppet or Landscape? | 10:50 |

| vadviktor | mithran1, I would use the watch command in combination of ifconfig and grep. watching the ifconfig data in some intervals and filter the lines with grep | 10:54 |
| Guest40566 | problem z połączeniem do serwera gg moze ktos pomoze | 10:54 |
| ohsix | MK`: that depends on the order of the partitions, if its not partition one i don't know theres a lot you can do besides break out a hex editor; you might get lucky if you read and rewrite the partitions with cfdisk or something | 10:54 |
| vadviktor | mithran1, specifically Tx and Rx, but I don't know how would I pipe the commands to filter that specific interface of yours | 10:55 |
| ohsix | HfX: you install a script that does it, ircII doesn't do _anything_ by default | 10:55 |
| Moopz | ohsix, can't find that software properties you're talking about. | 10:55 |
| MK` | it's the sole partition on the drive now, encompassing the entire thing | 10:55 |
| mithran1 | vadviktor: ok let me try that | 10:56 |

| nunuyabiz | MK you need to know where the kernel assigns the devices on bootup | 11:00 |
| sipior | MK`: if you're really brave, just delete the partition, and then recreate it *with exactly the same boundaries* | 11:00 |
| sipior | MK`: it probably goes without saying that you'll want to check on the status of your backups, etc. | 11:01 |
| MK` | it's an extended partition. If I deleted it it'd probably still delete the logical paritions inside | 11:01 |
| sipior | MK`: if the boundaries of the new partition are identical, i don't see the problem. | 11:01 |
| nunuyabiz | MK do you want to save what is on the partition? | 11:01 |
| MK` | it's a fresh install of ubuntu, so, no | 11:02 |

| MK` | lol | 11:09 |
| ohsix | Moopz: well using a different driver will probably sidestep the problrm | 11:09 |
| benzaldehyde | ThePunisher60: you could do all that in Ubuntu and i believe the alternate iso is a live cd, if i am not misstaken | 11:09 |
| Moopz | ohsix, so I should try reinstalling my graphics driver? | 11:09 |
| ohsix | Moopz: i was more interested in giving you info to file a bug about it, so it gets fixed | 11:09 |
| edwinkcw | I have a laptop CQ42-170TX, I want to connect it with my external monitor BENQ 22". But in monitor resolution setting, the max res. is 1280x768 only, but my monitor can support 1920x1080 | 11:09 |
| MK` | if my ocd were bad enough I'd name the drive hdb since it's an IDE drive :P | 11:09 |
| === h3r0 is now known as h3r0_ | ||
| edwinkcw | How can I fix it? | 11:09 |
| ohsix | Moopz: not reinstalling, using another one besides fglrx | 11:09 |
| nunuyabiz | artistik what program is your documents in? | 11:09 |
| Moopz | ohsix, are there others? | 11:10 |
| ThePunisher60 | well i instlled it on my hard disk | 11:10 |
| artistik | thank you- libre office | 11:10 |
| ThePunisher60 | i'm no longer working with the live cd | 11:10 |
| h3r0_ | hi friend i want to ask something... why my nagios server cannot send to our email? but it can send email alerts to gmail and yahoo? | 11:10 |
| ohsix | edwinkcw: you need to add the mode manually because the monitors edid information is incomplete/incorrect | 11:10 |
| h3r0_ | our company email | 11:10 |
| nyuszika7h | Is Firefox 4 available for Ubuntu? I tried to do "sudo apt-get install firefox", but it says firefox is already the latest version. | 11:10 |
| benzaldehyde | ThePunisher60: one OS is as good as any other | 11:10 |
| edwinkcw | ohsix: may I know how can I add it? I didn't have much knowledge about this. | 11:11 |
| ohsix | h3r0_: that probably depends on how your company email servers are setup, you'll need to ask them | 11:11 |
| bboi | hi guys, im trying to run make menuconfig but im getting errors: invalid for RAR_REGISTER and it says your display is too small to run Menuconfig how do i fix this | 11:11 |

| h3r0_ | oh... how can opmanager in windows can send to our company webmail | 11:12 |
| DJones | !ff4 | nyuszika7h | 11:12 |
| ubottu | nyuszika7h: 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 | 11:12 |
| ThePunisher60 | okay del_diablo | 11:12 |
| ThePunisher60 | i find it in the package manager i guess ?? | 11:12 |
| Moopz | ohsix, anyway, thanks for your help. | 11:12 |
| del_diablo | ThePunisher60: Yupp | 11:12 |
| ThePunisher60 | okay | 11:12 |
| artistik | i have a terminal open by ctrl-alt-f1, just not sure how to restart or restore the desktop enviroment | 11:13 |
| ohsix | edwinkcw: i can't walk you through it, but i can tell you you use "cvt" and xrandr --newmode and then --addmode with its output | 11:13 |
| nunuyabiz | artistik what program are the documents in that you want to save? | 11:13 |
| artistik | libreoffice | 11:14 |
| === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax | ||
| edwinkcw | ohsix: thanks, because in the old day, there is a x11.conf | 11:14 |
| ohsix | yep | 11:14 |
| artistik | im having a hard time reading your name otherwise id type it | 11:14 |
| ohsix | edwinkcw: are you using nvidias binary driver? | 11:14 |
| nunuyabiz | artistic if you shut down your box hard kill libreoffice will restore your documnets | 11:14 |
| h3r0_ | ohsix: thank you for replying | 11:15 |
| edwinkcw | ohsix: I am using Radeon propietary | 11:15 |
| ohsix | erh | 11:15 |
| osama | cv | 11:15 |
| artistik | what about sys-ctrl-alt-r-e-i-u-s-b | 11:15 |
| artistik | will that work | 11:15 |
| jwtiyar | how to get gnome 3 ? | 11:16 |
| nunuyabiz | artistic try it | 11:16 |
| artistik | i dont want to lose all my homework though. will it save it? | 11:16 |
| achillion | Has anyone had any experience running two distributions sharing one home directory? I suspect configuration files will be a mess but it could work, right? | 11:16 |
| nunuyabiz | artistic I used to know a way, but it didn't always work anyways | 11:16 |
| ohsix | artistik: does libreoffice save backups periodically? i think it does | 11:16 |
| ikonia | achillion: it will work the more important issue is how grub will work, in that with ubuntu 10.10 or later, it won't work well | 11:16 |
| nunuyabiz | artistik libreoffice will definitely save it, and from now on......ALWAYS BACKUP | 11:17 |
| ohsix | artistik: so if its been like 15 minutes you can just restart with shutdown -r now; then look for the backups | 11:17 |
| MK` | damn | 11:17 |
| MK` | I configured gparted to recreate the partitions exactly | 11:17 |
| achillion | ikonia: How would grub be affected? I'm on 10.04 currently; is there something special about grub on 10.10? | 11:17 |
| MK` | and when I ran the operation it did it the wrong way for some reason | 11:17 |
| ohsix | artistik: you can look in the dir where your file is in the shell & check if theres a backup there to be safe | 11:17 |
| nunuyabiz | achillion I do it all the time | 11:17 |
| MK` | so I need to reinstall P | 11:17 |
| benzaldehyde | ThePunisher60: there are two unrar and unrar-free dunno which is pertinent, i suppose one could have both | 11:17 |
| ikonia | achillion: yes, grub2 doesn't have it's config file in a shared location for the 2 distros | 11:17 |
| ikonia | achillion: 10.04 will also be a problem | 11:18 |
| benzaldehyde | ThePunisher60: and package rar to create rar | 11:18 |
| achillion | nunuyabiz: good to know :) | 11:18 |
| ThePunisher60 | okay | 11:18 |
| artistik | well i was just working on a document and the desktop just froze, so how could i save a backup of something i was working on | 11:18 |
| ohsix | MK`: gparted does a lot more than edit partitions, that is almost secondary to the rest, i suggested cfdisk for a reason D: | 11:18 |
| ThePunisher60 | but i didn't find any on package manager | 11:18 |
| MK` | Ah, i see | 11:18 |
| benzaldehyde | ThePunisher60: add some repositories to sources.list | 11:18 |
| MK` | well, there goes my entire ubuntu installation :P | 11:19 |
| achillion | ikonia: I'm sure there's a way around that. nunuyabiz: how do you handle grub? | 11:19 |
| artistik | but its been more than 15min so if it periodically saves its self then i should be alright | 11:19 |
| ThePunisher60 | what ?? | 11:19 |
| jwtiyar | how to get gnome 3 ? | 11:19 |
| ohsix | MK`: but even then i didn't know if it would reorder them i was being dismissive and suggesting you merely ignore it D: | 11:19 |
| ikonia | achillion try it, there is not | 11:19 |
| benzaldehyde | ThePunisher60: debian for sure, un# some of the restricted if there are resticated urls in the sources.list | 11:19 |
| hot_wheelz | can somone pls confirm if the us k42f-vx312v is fully support under 10.10 i am trying to establish this for a friend...Thx | 11:19 |
| nunuyabiz | ikonia I havn't done it with the latest grub | 11:19 |
| ohsix | ThePunisher60: you should really go to the backtrack channel | 11:20 |
| ikonia | nunuyabiz: I know, it won't work well | 11:20 |
| ThePunisher60 | well benza i'm not very good with ubuntu so i don't really know that | 11:20 |
| benzaldehyde | ThePunisher60: whereis apt | 11:20 |
| ohsix | edwinkcw: re: ati, i do not know if it does xrandr, if it doesn't you'll need to use xorg.conf or their control panel | 11:20 |
| ThePunisher60 | ohsix i'm asking general ubuntu question | 11:20 |
| benzaldehyde | ThePunisher60: find it then scoot boot'n'boogie | 11:20 |
| mang0 | guys, can you run AVG on ubuntu 10.10? | 11:21 |
| artistik | ohsix: from a shell how would i save a copy of what i was working on | 11:21 |
| ohsix | ThePunisher60: backtrack is modified in a number of ways that the odds on asking a general question still has a bt perspective | 11:21 |
| ThePunisher60 | well i'll drop it for the moment and after i'll llok for it again | 11:21 |
| ikonia | mang0: you shouldn't need it | 11:21 |
| mang0 | or is there another good free virus/malware moniter that you can use? | 11:21 |
| mang0 | oh | 11:21 |
| ThePunisher60 | thanx anyway benza | 11:21 |
| nunuyabiz | MK now you know.... you never suck sdb1 into sdb2 unless you'r okay with being stuck with sdb2 see you're learning | 11:21 |
| mang0 | ikonia: why not? | 11:21 |
| ohsix | artistik: basically, you can't; thats why i suggest you look and see if its doing periodic backups | 11:22 |
| ikonia | mang0: virus' don't effect linux in the same way as windows, so most virus scanning is worthless | 11:22 |
| benzaldehyde | ThePunisher60: good luck to you | 11:22 |
| mang0 | okay thanks | 11:22 |
| mang0 | :) | 11:22 |
| ThePunisher60 | ohsix can u give the bt4 channel link please | 11:22 |
| ThePunisher60 | thnx benza | 11:22 |
| ohsix | !backtrack | 11:22 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 11:22 |
| ikonia | ThePunisher60: #bactrack-linux | 11:22 |
| ikonia | #backtrack-linux | 11:22 |
| ThePunisher60 | thnx ikonia | 11:23 |
| ThePunisher60 | good bye all | 11:23 |
| sunriver | Is anyone have a package of "matlab for linux "? | 11:23 |
| ohsix | good luck | 11:23 |
| artistik | ohsix: oh in the logs? could you narrow my search down for me and give me a general area | 11:23 |
| ThePunisher60 | thnx | 11:23 |
| MK` | yeah I am learning :D | 11:23 |
| MK` | ohsix it was a fresh installation, I had no files on it | 11:23 |
| nitso | sunriver, bc might help you ;) | 11:24 |
| sunriver | oh ,thanks | 11:24 |
| artistik | theres got to be a simpiler way to refresh my desktop- something like metacity restore, but that didnt work | 11:25 |
| nunuyabiz | artistik when you are forced to hard kill your box and you restart it, you will appreciate libreoffice that much more when it restarts and asks you if you want to restore the documents that you neglected to back up. | 11:25 |
| bigmahat1a | Could somebody suggest me a nice program for reducing power compsumption? Like for downclocking the CPU? | 11:25 |
| jwtiyar | how to get gnome 3 ? | 11:26 |
| nunuyabiz | I'm not trying to push you to hard kill your computer..... I'm just sayin | 11:26 |
| ohsix | MK`: oh well, then the simple solution is to wipe it out | 11:26 |
| MK` | yeah | 11:26 |
| MK` | I deleted the disk, am starting over now | 11:26 |
| ohsix | MK`: but its also prudent to start using uuids for volumes, as the names/numbers can be unstable berween boots | 11:26 |
| MK` | ok | 11:26 |
| ohsix | artistik: look in the same directory where the original files, look for one named <yourfile>.bak or <yourfile>~ | 11:27 |
| nunuyabiz | MK dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb count=1024 bs=???? | 11:27 |
| MK` | i don't know what dd does yet | 11:28 |
| nunuyabiz | artistic do you have access to a terminal? | 11:29 |
| MK` | !dd | 11:29 |
| nunuyabiz | MK you don't need to zero out the disk, it's just something that I like to do | 11:29 |
| [deXter] | MK`: copy data from/to a device at a low level, bit by bit.. amongst lot of other things, in this case, dd can be used to wipe a drive | 11:30 |
| ohsix | MK`: he's telling you of one way to clear the mbr | 11:30 |
| MK` | I nuked the disk before I installed Ubuntu | 11:30 |
| MK` | ah | 11:30 |
| MK` | ok | 11:30 |
| ohsix | (and a little bit past the mbr) | 11:30 |
| supraken | is there a table of contents for the man pages? or a list of all the man pages internally in ubuntu? | 11:31 |
| Panthera | hi there | 11:31 |
| ohsix | supraken: not really, but you can search aming the installed ones on your computer with "apropos" | 11:31 |
| ohsix | supraken: i think they're indexed in yelp too, or at least used to be :[ | 11:32 |
| nunuyabiz | MK nuked? are you talkin dban? | 11:32 |
| Panthera | hi | 11:32 |
| Panthera | how can i host my own irc server ? | 11:32 |
| nunuyabiz | Panthera you sure can | 11:33 |
| iostream | Panthera: install an ircd | 11:33 |
| iostream | nunuyabiz: "how" | 11:33 |
| Panthera | ircd ? | 11:33 |
| MK` | some windows ap | 11:34 |
| iostream | irc daemon = irc server | 11:34 |
| iostream | Panthera: apt-cache search ircd | 11:34 |
| MK` | heh, I chose to not format, and it says "removing conflicting operating system files" | 11:34 |
| nunuyabiz | iostream run your own irc server | 11:34 |
| Panthera | Tanks | 11:34 |
| MK` | so maybe some files survived | 11:34 |
| iostream | TANKS! | 11:34 |
| iostream | beware of the tanks! | 11:34 |
| koltroll | I'm getting all crazy at the new menu - even tho I like it's look. Trying to move the icons around but 50% of the times it thinks I want to move the whole section of icons! | 11:34 |
| koltroll | gahh ^^ | 11:34 |
| iostream | hi koltroll | 11:35 |
| edwinkcw | ohsix: thanks and I fixed my problem | 11:35 |
| iostream | that's because the object is a group of icons | 11:35 |
| ohsix | edwinkcw: good :] | 11:35 |
| LeanoX | i wonder where is position when use apt-get install a program | 11:35 |
| skiwithpete | hi, in 10.04 is there a way to boot to command prompt? | 11:35 |
| Panthera | Wow 1544 users online | 11:35 |
| Panthera | this my first time on irc | 11:35 |
| nunuyabiz | MK yeah that removes all the addressing in the filesystem all the files are still there, but it's okay they will just be overwritten | 11:35 |
| LeanoX | in 10.10 | 11:35 |
| skiwithpete | I've changed xinitrc and now I only get flickering | 11:35 |
| LeanoX | i wonder where is position when use apt-get install a program in 10.10 | 11:35 |
| MK` | ok | 11:36 |
| skiwithpete | can't even ctrl+alt + Fkeys | 11:36 |
| koltroll | iostream, heya! What do you use for coding ? | 11:36 |
| iostream | koltroll: nano, gedit | 11:36 |
| skiwithpete | just keeps flicking back | 11:36 |
| koltroll | iostream, ok :( | 11:36 |
| iostream | LeanoX: whereis | 11:36 |
| skiwithpete | is there a way to boot to command prompt? | 11:36 |
| iostream | koltroll: why? | 11:36 |
| iostream | skiwithpete: press CTRL+ALT+F1 | 11:36 |
| karan | hello | 11:36 |
| skiwithpete | iostream, have done that - it just flicks back to failing workspace | 11:37 |
| karan | can any one help to me recompile the kernel with a new package integrated in it | 11:37 |
| iostream | skiwithpete: wonky. | 11:37 |
| LeanoX | iostream:yes ,where is ? | 11:37 |
| skiwithpete | eh? | 11:37 |
| iostream | LeanoX: no, whereis, it's acommand | 11:37 |
| LeanoX | i see i try | 11:37 |
| iostream | a command | 11:37 |
| skiwithpete | iostream, can I get to command prompt via grub? | 11:37 |
| koltroll | iostream, why what? why I ask? Cause I want a nice coding app. vim/emacs/nano is not an alternative. And even though gedit is nice and all, it's just a simple texteditor. And eclipse is too much. I wan something in between. Gonna have a look at bluefish and see what that's all about. | 11:37 |
| iostream | koltroll: gedit is not just a simple text editor | 11:38 |
| skiwithpete | i know what I have to do, I just can't get to a prompt... | 11:38 |
| shomon | how do I go down a version from php 5.3.3 to 5.2.10 or whatever is newest? | 11:38 |
| iostream | play with the settings and you'll find a bunch of fancy stuff | 11:38 |
| shomon | on ubuntu 10.10? | 11:38 |
| koltroll | iostream, like some plugins, themes and "show line number" ? :) | 11:39 |
| LeanoX | iostream:thanks for your support . | 11:39 |
| MK` | this disk is a nice testbed anyway. it has like 33 bad sectors so I don't even know how long it's going to last | 11:39 |
| shomon | bluefish is a good in betweeny one... :) | 11:39 |
| iostream | LeanoX: np | 11:39 |
| iostream | koltroll: you don't need any third party plugins, no | 11:39 |
| skiwithpete | anyone? | 11:39 |
| iostream | koltroll: it's all in the software already | 11:39 |
| koltroll | The mission right now is to get my pc keyboard to act like it's a mac keyboard. | 11:39 |
| iostream | lol | 11:40 |
| nunuyabiz | koltroll I use bluefish only..... I love it but it's a little more than just simple | 11:40 |
| skiwithpete | need a prompt, x keeps flashing because of failed xinitrc | 11:40 |
| benzaldehyde | shomon: if you want a different version the only way i know of to do it is to purge the package and install the one you want manually | 11:40 |
| koltroll | It's a pain working at a mac more or less all days and then switch back to a pc. So I'm thinking that if I can get the pc keyboard to act like a mac I'm all good. | 11:40 |
| iostream | that's not possible | 11:40 |
| iostream | install linux on your mac instead | 11:41 |
| koltroll | it -kinda- works now. But the "apple-key" is on alt-gr. I would've preferred if I could get it on the windows-icon instead. That would be ace. | 11:41 |
| shomon | benzaldehyde, that's fine I found a tutorial on randyfay.com/node/63 | 11:41 |
| koltroll | Well of course it is possible? It's linux is it not? | 11:41 |
| shomon | lots of drupal folks have the same problem in 10.10 apparently | 11:41 |
| skiwithpete | here's how I'll solve it: I'll put a liveCD in and boot to that - then I'll change xinitrc - unless there's a way I can boot to prompt... | 11:41 |
| koltroll | Right now I can do shift+altgr+8/9 to get {} | 11:42 |
| nunuyabiz | skiwithpete boot into recovery mode | 11:42 |
| koltroll | If I could just map alt-gr to the windows-button I'd be allt good :) | 11:42 |
| skiwithpete | how? | 11:42 |
| skiwithpete | nunuyabiz, how - 10.04 | 11:42 |
| nunuyabiz | skiwithpete I don't remember but in previous versions you hit esc and you get the grub menu.... I'll google it just a moment | 11:43 |
| koltroll | when a window gets above the menu the menu goes away. How do I get it back without removing the window, and how can I set it up so that it doesn't go away ? | 11:44 |
| nunuyabiz | does someone remember how to get to the grub menu in 10.04...... in previous versions it was hit the esc key | 11:45 |
| skiwithpete | not anymore | 11:46 |
| DJones | nunuyabiz: Press & hold down left shift during boot | 11:46 |
| nunuyabiz | skiwithpete did you get that | 11:47 |
| bullgard4 | Ubuntu installs by default an entry »gdm:x:119:« in /etc/group but without any operating system user. Why? | 11:47 |
| nunuyabiz | skiwithpete when you are in the grub menu, arrow down to the recovery mode and hit enter then make the proer selection. you may want to select drop down to root | 11:48 |
| skiwithpete | yep, seems to have done it | 11:48 |
| ohsix | bullgard4: files are owned by it, not having a user to access them is kind of beside the point | 11:48 |
| skiwithpete | how do you rena? | 11:48 |
| skiwithpete | sorry, how do you rename at prompt? | 11:48 |
| nunuyabiz | rename what? | 11:49 |
| txh | how do I set up to build for another kind of lixux while running another like ubuntu?? | 11:49 |
| txh | any tips or links would be helpful | 11:50 |
| nunuyabiz | txh google remix | 11:50 |
| txh | search for remix? | 11:51 |
| nunuyabiz | yeah remix ubuntu or whatever distro you want to customize | 11:51 |
| ohsix | skiwithpete: "mv" | 11:52 |
| nunuyabiz | remix ubuntu or remix debian or whatever | 11:52 |
| Panthera | someone know when 11.04 will be out ? | 11:52 |
| DJones | !natty | Panthera | 11:52 |

| nunuyabiz | I think on the 28th | 11:53 |
| Panthera | and say can i keep the Gnome ? | 11:53 |
| gagware | a | 11:53 |

| bullgard4 | ohsix: You are writing a very complicated English. operating system groups are there to limit the access of files to certain operating system users, are they not? | 11:53 |
| skiwithpete | thanks nunuyabiz and ohsix | 11:53 |
| nunuyabiz | Panthera it will be gnome 3 | 11:53 |
| ohsix | Panthera: grievance noted | 11:53 |
| koltroll | how the heck do I access settings for the menu ? | 11:53 |
| Panthera | it will be Unity interface they say | 11:54 |
| Panthera | i just hate it | 11:54 |
| ohsix | bullgard4: users and groups, they are separate & you can have sgid executables like you can suid ones | 11:54 |
| ohsix | Panthera: i meant to say, that's not really on topic, you could try #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:54 |
| nunuyabiz | Panthera unity will be default, but you can chose another | 11:56 |
| sobersabre | hi. | 11:56 |
| sobersabre | I have asked this before and don't remember getting an answer. | 11:56 |
| Panthera | i know that i can change it | 11:56 |
| sobersabre | assuming I have user1 with admin rights. | 11:56 |
| sobersabre | I want to use that user's data/settings for another user. | 11:56 |
| Panthera | and what about GNOME Shell ? | 11:56 |
| Panthera | i will be able to use it ? | 11:57 |
| sobersabre | I copy /home/user1 to /home/user2, and then replace all the appearances of 'user1' to 'user2' | 11:57 |

| skpl | er. | 11:57 |
| DJones | Panthera: For questions/queries about Natty, the best channel to ask is #ubuntu+1 which is its support channel until its released | 11:57 |
| sobersabre | still, when logged in as user2 and clicking update manager I am getting prompt for the password of user1. | 11:57 |
| nunuyabiz | yes I believe you will be able to use gnome shell | 11:57 |
| sobersabre | What do I need to change/update so I am asked for user2's password in that case ? | 11:57 |
| LjL | sobersabre: you have changed the owner and group for all files, yes? | 11:58 |
| sobersabre | yes. | 11:58 |
| Panthera | ok tanks | 11:58 |
| nunuyabiz | beware of tanks | 11:58 |
| sobersabre | LjL: the problem I think is that some things not in the user1's dir are getting changed. or maybe there are some databases in user2's files that still contain user1 references. | 11:58 |
| LjL | sobersabre: well i don't know, but maybe it's something in gconf, so why don't you try grepping for the old user name in ~/.gconf | 11:59 |
| sobersabre | I hoped somebody could here point me out where EXCEPT .gconf I can find these references. | 11:59 |
| sobersabre | LjL: I did grep there... | 11:59 |

| rob_p | obscurant1st: sftp user@host <--- After that, it's very similar to FTP command syntax | 12:46 |

| obscurant1st | rob_p, oh ok thanks! | 12:46 |
| susundberg | jussi: with standard mount command, but you might need to get some raid-tools / drivers -- could you specify your problem? | 12:47 |

| jussi | susundberg: the raid drives didnt turn up in places, so Im wondering where to find them. they do appear in fdisk -l though. | 12:48 |
| rob_p | obscurant1st: Perhaps I should clarify... start a new terminal session and do, "sftp user@host" and once logged in, you will have a prompt at which you can put, get, list, etc. Hope that helps. | 12:48 |
| susundberg | Hugo: other options are to download the needed packages on other machine and transfer them via some other medium, like usb stick | 12:48 |
| Hugo | susundberg: It worked before when I had a problem using the Internet on Ubuntu 10.10, I don't know why it doesn't seem to be working this time. | 12:48 |

| benzaldehyde | Hugo: connect the modem to your computer sudo ifconfig eth0 up then sudo dhclient eth0 | 12:50 |
| susundberg | You should mount _partitions_ not devices | 12:50 |
| susundberg | like /dev/sda1 not /dev/sda | 12:50 |
| ohsix | susundberg: unless the device has no partition & is a raw volume | 12:51 |
| benzaldehyde | Hugo: if it does not connect try a different ethernet cable | 12:51 |

| ikonia | it sticks it in the apt cache folder, you can also dell apt to download and not install, so it just downloads the package | 12:52 |
| ohsix | susundberg: you can have partitions on loob block devices too :] | 12:53 |
| Fearless13 | :| | 12:53 |

| Drengur | Hello there. I have a problem that I am quite sure is x.org related. My mouse (and keyboard for that matter) seems to lock itself within the focused window, not being able to click anything outside of it. This would include the Gnome-bars, etc. I am using Ubuntu 10.10, Gnome (and Xfce4, it's the same there). I have tried different keyboards, different mice, the problem persists. Any ideas? (I have tried various fixes, but am willing t | 13:27 |
| Drengur | o try again under guidance) | 13:27 |
| ohsix | x404x: i have to admit it does not sound good | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Gucci: if you just run update grub without doing anything extra, it will do nothing at all | 13:27 |
| ohsix | x404x: as long as the volume headers aren't damaged it should be able to assemble | 13:28 |

| aeon-ltd | Frans-Willem: use a livecd (clonezilla) to just copy the 100gb then use gparted to rebuild the other partitions? | 13:51 |

| shineliqiang | ask question or just for chating? | 13:58 |
| ljsoftnet | shineliqiang ask question about ubuntu | 13:58 |
| dyd | why all drummers are retarded? | 13:58 |
| dsnyders | ferengee, I suppose that might be an option. Is there a list somewhere showing which photo manager handles which tags? | 13:58 |
| soreau | shineliqiang: This is the official support channel for ubuntu. | 13:59 |
| aeon-ltd | !ot | dyd | 13:59 |
| ubottu | dyd: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 13:59 |
| shineliqiang | oh...I think I'm wrong ,bye | 13:59 |
| dyd | mkay :) | 13:59 |
| ferengee | dsnyders, not that i know of, and i don't use any standard photomanager myself | 13:59 |
| jwtiyar | i cant see videos in ubuntu | 13:59 |
| Boothk | erUSUL: It's not limited to adduser though.. I also have apt-gets (remove, update, dist-upgrade and install) as well. Most of the commands I use require Y/N answers | 13:59 |
| kubanc | how do i knos more about USB devices, i know that lsusb exsists, but i would like to know more then thar | 13:59 |
| jwtiyar | i cant see videos in youtube and all videos | 13:59 |
| mAritz | Is there a current gnome3 PPA for maverick? | 14:00 |
| aeon-ltd | mAritz: check launchpad? | 14:01 |
| jwtiyar | mAritz, do these http://pastebin.com/Kcx5EwwU | 14:01 |
| erUSUL | Boothk: apt-get has -y option and other commands may have similar options | 14:01 |
| Boothk | erUSUL: I'm just trying to automate my script (which finally works), so that I can be doing other things while it works away | 14:01 |

| Boothk | erUSUL: Really? I didn't notice | 14:01 |
| mAritz | jwtiyar: awesome, thanks :) | 14:01 |
| erUSUL | Boothk: take a look at expect? but usually is better if the tool itself has options to suppress user interaction | 14:02 |
| erUSUL | Boothk: -y, --yes, --assume-yes --> Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts and run non-interactively. | 14:02 |
| mAritz | jwtiyar: waaait a second. that would install 2.28 | 14:02 |

| dusf | when will the ubuntu software compilers learn? | 14:05 |
| dusf | pulseaudio doesn't work. | 14:05 |

| soreau | tr4nsltr: Download 32bit and install it | 14:06 |
| kubanc | how do i see which USB device i have plug-ed in. i would like to see the model of the device | 14:06 |
| soreau | jwandbor1: why not? | 14:06 |
| jingqq5210 | any one experienced gnome3 on ubuntu???????? | 14:06 |

| soreau | kubanc: lsusb | 14:06 |
| ruan | jwtiyar: what type of videos? | 14:06 |
| coz_ | jingqq5210, personally I dont like it but you will have to try it to see | 14:07 |
| dusf | pulseaudio continue to use standards other developers will not | 14:07 |
| kubanc | lsusb only gives me Gemplus GemPC Key SmartCard Reader. | 14:07 |
| soreau | jwtiyar: How are you trying to play videos? | 14:07 |
| dusf | the package is a joke | 14:07 |
| jwtiyar | ruan, all videos from youtube and other websites | 14:07 |
| tr4nsltr | i've successfully upgrade 32 to 64, why can't othervwise? | 14:07 |
| ruan | jwtiyar: install flash | 14:07 |
| kubanc | but now, i need driver for this device, but i do not know which model it is | 14:07 |
| erUSUL | dusf: well you have to backup an absolute bold calim such as « pulseaudio doesn't work. » with some evidence; don't you ? | 14:07 |
| jwtiyar | ruan, also i have flash | 14:07 |
| dusf | erUSUL: aren't you a regular in ubuntu's support channel? | 14:07 |

| adit | test message | 14:07 |
| erUSUL | dusf: yes | 14:07 |
| dusf | :) | 14:08 |
| bazhang | tr4nsltr, either requires a full reinstall | 14:08 |
| ruan | jwtiyar: apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=$distro-partner | 14:08 |

| shadowmancer | hey all got a current problem, could someone explain to me what gdm does | 14:09 |
| soreau | kubanc: After plugging in the usb key, what does dmesg have to say about it? | 14:09 |
| soreau | shadowmancer: gdm is gnome desktop manager | 14:09 |

| mang0 | Hey guys! I'm thinking about formatting my C drive and Installing Ubuntu (I already have a LiveCD, windows is playing up). If I put some files like videos etc onto my D drive, will I be able to acces them in Ubuntu after formatting C? | 14:09 |
| ruan | !info gdm | shadowmancer | 14:09 |
| erUSUL | dusf: if you research a nations health by going to a hospital you will inmadiently conclude that everyone in that nation is ill. so no what we see in this channel is not evidence either :) | 14:09 |
| ubottu | shadowmancer: gdm (source: gdm): GNOME Display Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 2.30.5-0ubuntu4.1 (maverick), package size 723 kB, installed size 2304 kB | 14:09 |
| shadowmancer | ok so it handles that side bar, and all that? right | 14:09 |
| soreau | shadowmancer: Its your login screen | 14:09 |
| erUSUL | mang0: yes | 14:09 |
| shadowmancer | ok | 14:09 |
| mang0 | awesome | 14:10 |
| soreau | kubanc: Does it tell you a node name such as /dev/sdc1 ? | 14:10 |
| shadowmancer | so somehow every so often my side bars and everything except my windows disapear | 14:10 |
| ruan | mang0: yes you can access NTFS partitions in ubuntu | 14:10 |
| mang0 | I have two HDs | 14:10 |
| shadowmancer | if i do sudo service gdm restart it fixes it but at the cost of losing everything and i have reopen everything | 14:10 |
| kubanc | soreau, NO | 14:10 |
| mang0 | so i just wanna be able to get info off D when I wipe C and install ubuntu on it | 14:11 |
| dusf | erUSUL: i will defer to you as i see you in here a lot helping others, i just know it's caused me a lot of problems and when trying to fix my own came across a lot of others with similar difficulties. when i took it to alsa and wine devs they said the issue was with pulse audio refusing to develop in an interoparable way, and that removing it has once again solved my problems :) | 14:12 |
| ruan | mang0: you might have to mount it first | 14:12 |
| mang0 | and I can run .exes with WINE can't I? Just I'm an animator, I use flash 8 (exe) so if i copied the program files folder onto D, could i then run it in WINE? | 14:12 |
| ruan | mang0: but yes, it will work | 14:12 |

| ruan | yeah | 14:14 |
| dsnyders | ferengee, I think I may have found it. Exiv2 doesn't interpret it though. It's just a hex dump. | 14:14 |
| Insecticide | No just open sorce | 14:14 |

| dusf | with it removed everythign works fine? | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | shadowmancer, X | 14:17 |
| soreau | kubanc: Is it a newer card reader? | 14:17 |
| ohsix | dusf: ah wine; yes, they don't have many people working on their sound driver plugins, that's a wine problem | 14:17 |
| dsnyders | shadowmancer, were you looking for x11, xorg... that kind of thing? | 14:17 |
| soreau | shadowmancer: The default wm in ubuntu is compiz, unless there is some problem in which case it falls back to metacity which is the default wm for gnome | 14:18 |
| lolmatic | hi, i did run update for all my software and now the installer hangs at "preparing dpkg" since one hour. what can i do? | 14:18 |
| shadowmancer | soreau: thanks | 14:19 |
| ohsix | dusf: you should use pasuspender with wine, then it will get out of the way; some day wine will have someone that can actually write a proper audio program work on fixing the drivers, i respect the work that they do but i've had discussions with all of them and they don't even understand the problem domain | 14:19 |
| lolmatic | even the cancel button is greyed out | 14:19 |
| lolmatic | :( | 14:19 |

| esing123 | i ve got following source | 14:20 |
| esing123 | http://linux.terratec.de/tv_en.html | 14:20 |
| shadowmancer | soreau: what controls the side bar which is loaded by default with ubuntu (or atleast the netbook remix) | 14:20 |
| suave____ | is there any expert on irssi here? | 14:20 |
| ohsix | just ask your question | 14:21 |
| Travis-42 | I have multiple monitors -- is there any way to enable the rotation of the monitors (separately)? | 14:21 |
| esing123 | the only information i get of that site is this: Included in v4l-dvb repositery: ttp://www.linuxtv.org | 14:21 |
| esing123 | do i have add that url now in my repository file? | 14:21 |
| esing123 | and that apt-get install terratec t5 ? | 14:21 |
| Pici | !enter | 14:21 |
| esing123 | because terratec t5 is my device | 14:21 |
| esing123 | :)) | 14:21 |
| Pici | suave____: Probably, but #irssi is probably the best place to ask. | 14:21 |
| suave____ | I messed up my irssi setting, i would like to reset the settings | 14:21 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 14:21 |
| esing123 | ahh i think not many people are only because the time in USA is different thatn to europe hehe | 14:22 |
| suave____ | Pici, thanks | 14:22 |
| esing123 | pici you know some stuff? | 14:22 |
| esing123 | maybe you can help me haha | 14:22 |

| esing123 | pici should I rephrase ? | 14:22 |
| shadowmancer | >.< | 14:22 |

| Pici | esing123: Sure. | 14:23 |
| atlef | suave____: try deleting your ./irssi folder and restart irssi | 14:23 |
| jwtiyar | please peoplee | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | lolmatic, have you enabled all relavent repos in the package manager including canonical partners, if so then run , sudo dpkg --configure -a , in a terminal , then try updating again | 14:23 |

| dsnyders | debd, type everything on one line. This is a busy chat and your question is being scattered all over the place. | 14:36 |
| mithran | is Glade used for GTK2 development? | 14:36 |
| edbian | mithran: You can use it | 14:37 |
| Koolio | hm | 14:37 |
| mithran | using GTK2 can I write any applications for android? | 14:37 |
| BMJackal | hi, anybody who knows a thing or two about Perl? (XML::Simple specifically) | 14:37 |
| debd | you are too impatient to hear me ikonia | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | mithran: android does not use gtk | 14:37 |
| GibbaTheHutt | BMJackal, anything in particular ? | 14:38 |
| RPG__Master | Can I install packages while running from a LiveCD? | 14:38 |
| edbian | mithran: pretty sure android is all about the javas | 14:38 |
| anonboots | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? <- What is the dpkg command to fix this? I forgot it. | 14:38 |
| mithran | erUSUL: so Applications will just work on Gnome and XFCE then? | 14:38 |
| RPG__Master | I need to use backintime to back up my home folder from my messed up computer. | 14:38 |
| Pici | debd: Installing things from source is something that is usually not needed on Ubuntu, especially for things that are already provided in the repositories. I don't know why you're trying to do this, and you will break your system by randomly installing different versions of things that are critical. | 14:38 |
| Pici | !aptfix | anonboots | 14:38 |
| ubottu | anonboots: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 14:38 |
| edbian | anonboots: You have more than one package manager open at once (you can't do that). Look for the process in ps -e (or gnome system monitor) and kill it. | 14:38 |
| BMJackal | GibbaTheHutt: yup, I have the hash structure produced by XMLin, but I cannot access the array that it creates (always says the length is greater than it is) | 14:38 |
| RPG__Master | So I need to know, can I use synaptic and install stuff like normal even though I'll be running froma LiveCD? | 14:39 |
| erUSUL | mithran: will work in any unix that has gtk libs and in meego and in windows ( there are ports of gtk to windows ) | 14:39 |
| GibbaTheHutt | pm me if you want, maybe nopaste the code, I may be able to help, maybe not :) | 14:39 |

| overshard | Was 11.04 ever pushed back? It's end of month but for some reason I thought it was originally earlier | 14:49 |
| dsnyders | Travis-42, I think what you do is define two screens in xorg.conf and switch between them somehow. | 14:49 |
| dr0id | mmmm thanks Pici | 14:49 |
| Pici | overshard: No, its always been the end of the month. Further Natty dicussion in #ubuntu+1 | 14:49 |

| overshard | Pici: ok thanks, just making sure | 14:49 |
| RPG__Master | atlef, Thanks! That looks like just what I needed to know. | 14:49 |
| Pici | overshard: 10.10 was on the 10th, but only because they wanted to release it on 10/10/10 | 14:49 |
| mordof | Is Wubi an in-windows install, basically it's own VM? if so - how reliably does it work / recieve updates? I'd like to run ubuntu from a VM instead of a standalone OS but i'm wondering about performance issues and whatnot | 14:49 |
| atlef | RPG__Master: you are welcome | 14:50 |
| ohsix | stjohnmedrano: ok, if theres nothing about it in dmesg then you have to start wondering if it's even plugged in :] | 14:50 |
| Travis-42 | dsnyders, ah that might make sense! I already switch between some screen setups using xorg.conf to let me enable/disable monitors. probably can't be automatic, but it'll be good enough, thank you | 14:50 |
| Pici | mordof: Its not a VM, it installs it within a file containing a disk image. It works well, except that there are sometimes issues with updating the bootloader. | 14:50 |
| ohsix | mordof: it uses a file as a hard drive, it's as native as a partitioned install; except with the added overhead of 2 filesystems | 14:50 |

| FoolsRun | Hi, can anyone tell me where Alien saves converted .deb files? They're not in the same directory as the rpms I converted, but I can't re-convert because wherever they are, they can't be overwritten :) | 14:52 |
| Pici | dr0id: ls changes its output if its being piped into another program. It confused me at first too. | 14:52 |
| Pici | dr0id: Try ls | less to see for yourself. | 14:53 |
| ohsix | more specifically, it checks if stdout is a terminal | 14:53 |
| ohsix | when it's piped by the shell it isn't | 14:53 |
| dr0id | yeh, i have tried | less or | more before :P | 14:53 |
| Pici | ohsix: Thanks for the clarification. | 14:53 |
| mordof | oh, one last thing before i install Wubi and risk wasting bandwidth - Wubi is capable of going fullscreen overtop the windows UI right? | 14:54 |
| ohsix | glad i can | 14:54 |
| mordof | it'll be pointless if it doesn't :\ lol | 14:54 |
| dsnyders | Travis-42, You're welcome. You may also want to do a bit of googling on grandr as well. As far as the switch being automatic, you may be able to write a script and reprogram one of the function keys. | 14:54 |
| atlef | mordof: yes | 14:54 |
| Pici | mordof: A wubi install does not run at the same time that windows does. You still need to reboot to run it. | 14:54 |
| aeon-ltd | mordof: huh, wubi dualboots with windows using mbr instead of grub | 14:54 |
| mordof | oh | 14:54 |
| ohsix | mordof: it will boot instead of windows; the only thing in common is where the files are stored | 14:54 |
| mordof | hm :\ | 14:54 |
| mordof | that's pointless then, i'm installing it normally | 14:55 |
| mordof | it sounded like it was nested inside windows, lol | 14:55 |

| rumpe1 | asdo, use unetbootin | 14:55 |
| Pici | mordof: Its an option for people who do not want to re-partition their drives, and that only. | 14:55 |
| AnubArack | how come xchat link open in FF when i set chrome as default ? (other programs send to chrome) | 14:55 |
| mordof | ah | 14:55 |
| atlef | asdo: unetbootin | 14:56 |
| ohsix | mordof: which can help if you can't decide or don't know up front how much space you want/need for each | 14:56 |
| asdo | how about dd? | 14:56 |
| ohsix | dd'ing an iso to a usb stick won't do anything | 14:56 |
| ohsix | there is an image you can use with dd though | 14:57 |
| FoolsRun | Huh. I really can't find these converted .deb files | 14:57 |
| mordof | is it still the case that i have to use the 64 bit version of the OS to get multi-core support? | 14:57 |
| ohsix | mordof: that was never the case | 14:58 |
| mordof | i think that was a very long time ago | 14:58 |
| ohsix | unless you mean software restrictions in windows, which obviously wouldn't apply; and ubuntu doesn't charge by the socket/core ;] | 14:58 |
| IsoLinCHiP | Hi, can anyone think of a way to change the default monitor in a dual screen setup, without creating a xorg.conf? is there some gconf setting or the likes? Id prefer X to autodetect the correct driver, since I sometimes boot from a vbox and sometimes on real hardware | 14:58 |
| mordof | it's been a while since i've used ubuntu.. lol. when multi-core kernel support was coming out it was only in the 64 bit kernel release if i remember correctly | 14:58 |

| ohsix | bencc: yep | 14:59 |
| iceroot | FoolsRun: at the current directory you are calling alien | 14:59 |
| mordof | FoolsRun: no idea what Alien is, so i can't help ya there | 14:59 |
| ohsix | bencc: v4l has vloopback; theres a few things that can write video to it | 15:00 |
| FoolsRun | iceroot: That's what I thought, but they're not there. | 15:00 |
| FoolsRun | iceroot: however, if I run Alien again, it says it can't overwrite the .deb files taht apparently exist somewhere. | 15:00 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there a program that will convert space separated hex characters into ASCII. eg 86 65 78 69 83 83 65 44 32 76 65 0 | 15:00 |
| iceroot | FoolsRun: sounds like its time for "find" or "locate" | 15:00 |
| FoolsRun | locate *.deb or something? | 15:01 |
| iceroot | !locate | FoolsRun | 15:01 |
| ubottu | FoolsRun: locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb | 15:01 |
| iceroot | FoolsRun: locate foobar*.deb | 15:01 |
| mordof | dsnyders: you could probably write a simple bash script to do that | 15:02 |

| mk0 | erhhh why? | 15:05 |
| mk0 | the stick works okay in other PC's | 15:05 |
| rumpe1 | mk0, well... then i would recommend installing it via virtualbox... but its much trickier | 15:06 |
| mk0 | not a virtual box/ just run onstaller and install to a separate partition | 15:06 |
| mordof | mk0: there is an installer for that in ubuntu. you should download that | 15:06 |
| mordof | ah nevermind | 15:07 |
| mordof | misread something on the downloads page | 15:07 |
| IsoLinCHiP | Ok, so after looking up xrandr, I read that basically the gnome monitor applet uses xrandr. Unfortunately the gui doesnt seem to provide settings for the default monitor, anyone know where the monitor applet saves its settings? maybe that would be hackable :) | 15:07 |
| FoolsRun | This is ridiculous. I'm going to have to format my machine because I can't find these .deb files | 15:08 |
| mordof | FoolsRun: just out of curiosity - did you do an updatedb before locate? | 15:08 |
| FoolsRun | mordof: I did | 15:08 |
| dr0id | locate can find files | 15:08 |
| mordof | k, just thought i'd check to make sure, heh | 15:08 |
| tlvb | FoolsRun: try using find instead | 15:09 |
| FoolsRun | find *.deb? | 15:09 |
| mordof | so on a side note - why is the 32 bit version of the OS recommended over 64 bit? | 15:09 |
| dr0id | find -name '*.deb' ;) | 15:09 |
| IsoLinCHiP | FoolsRun: find / -name 'NameOfIt.deb' | 15:09 |
| rumpe1 | FoolsRun, maybe try "sudo find / -iname '*.deb'" | 15:09 |
| tlvb | find is very powerful, you can have regexes and stuff if you want that too... | 15:09 |
| atlef | mordof: on a system with 4gb of ram or more, get the 64bit. otherwise 32bit will do | 15:10 |
| mordof | atlef: alright. 64 bit it is~ | 15:10 |
| mordof | atlef: i forgot about that limitation, thanks for the reminder... heh | 15:10 |
| atlef | mordof: you are welcome | 15:11 |
| DasEi | mordof: that doesn't fit so much noadays nomore, former there where some apps hard to get in 64' , but lso can use pae, 64 is fine, use that | 15:11 |
| DasEi | !pae | 15:11 |

| aminho | Hi guys | 15:12 |
| aminho | for gmail and ubuntu users, what do you use to get inbox notifications in Gnome | 15:12 |
| dsnyders | geckosenator, some programs allow you to choose the network adapter | 15:12 |
| iceroot | aminho: what about the indicator-applet? | 15:13 |
| mk0 | it's quite confusing that there's an desktop installer under win and under linux there's no anything. | 15:13 |
| DasEi | FoolsRun: locate is another possib', but database must be set up before | 15:13 |
| geckosenator | dsnyders: no good, I want a generic way | 15:13 |
| tlvb | FoolsRun: what is your exact command (just to be sure) | 15:13 |
| aminho | iceroot, i'm taking a look at it | 15:13 |
| geckosenator | dsnyders: like a shell or something that blocks some interfaces | 15:13 |
| FoolsRun | sudo find / -name *.deb | 15:13 |
| mordof | mk0: not really.. you're already in linux. you shouldn't need to install the new OS - besides.. you can't reinstall the entire OS while in it anyway. i'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by the route you're taking. a dual boot? | 15:13 |
| geckosenator | dsnyders: the best I know of is running qemu and only linking a certain adapter | 15:13 |
| FoolsRun | it finds some .debs in apt archives, but not the ones I converted with Alien | 15:13 |
| tlvb | you need to escape the *.deb as either \*.deb or '*.deb' | 15:14 |
| DasEi | FoolsRun: looking for a deb ? try *deb | 15:14 |
| mk0 | not reinstall. Dual boot of course | 15:14 |
| aminho | iceroot, looks like it needs evolution set up ? | 15:14 |
| DasEi | FoolsRun: or have some patience for : sudo updatedb && locate *deb | 15:14 |
| mordof | mk0: only reason for the windows one is so that windows users can try the OS without a format/partition management | 15:15 |
| mordof | mk0: you can't use a CD? | 15:15 |

| dsnyders | geckosenator, You may be able to do something with permissions | 15:15 |
| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: While just about any reasonable daemon will normally provide you with a option to specify which address (read device) to listen on, you could probably do some trickery with iptables | 15:15 |

| mordof | mk0: you may need to fix the problem with why your USB won't boot up | 15:16 |
| rumpe1 | mk0, well... if your pc doesnt boot from usb, you also could create an entry in grub2 for an iso... i guess.. and boot this way | 15:16 |

| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: any suggestions for which filter to use in iptables? | 15:16 |
| mordof | rumpe1: oh hey.. that's a cool idea :o | 15:16 |
| rumpe1 | Dragonbut, you can get rid of the desktop and be still able to work ^^ | 15:16 |
| mk0 | it boots from usb. But this days something got broken | 15:16 |
| atlef | mk0: but do you want to dual boot different versions of ubuntu? | 15:17 |
| Pici | FoolsRun: Whats the issue with running alien again? | 15:17 |
| mk0 | yep, this is the aim | 15:17 |
| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: hmm, ok, if you want specific programms, either look into tsocks and setup a socks proxy server with filtering, or try a search for iptables and transparent proxy, thatll probably get you started in the right direction | 15:17 |
| mk0 | to have lts and betas beside | 15:17 |
| FoolsRun | Pici: I converted some RPMs and I can't find the .debs. They're not in the directory I ran Alien in, and they're not found by locate or find. I can't convert again because it says the .debs can't be overwritten. | 15:18 |
| Huskies | Hi all! | 15:18 |
| rumpe1 | mk0, this sounds like something for you: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/02/how-to-boot-iso-with-grub2-easy-way.html | 15:18 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: cool... the really tricky part will be getting bittorrent to work using multiple interfaces for the same file :-P | 15:18 |
| dsnyders | Dragonbut, You can have the program run on one computer and display on another. | 15:18 |
| Dragonbut | That's all? | 15:18 |
| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: tsocks hooks into the system calls for network, so maybe a search for 'like tsocks' or 'LDPRELOAD network' gives you usefull hits | 15:18 |
| Pici | FoolsRun: Then it sounds like they are indeed in the path where your .rpms are. What makes you think that they arent? | 15:19 |
| FoolsRun | Pici: the fact that they're not there. ls, ls -a, and ls as root shows only the .rpm files | 15:19 |
| atlef | mk0: then you need separate root and home direcories | 15:19 |
| Huskies | Who can use Metasploit Framework? | 15:19 |

It can be pasted to text editor, but browser just does nothing then I press 'paste'. Any ideas? | 15:19 |
| stevecam | how do i change the max volume that i can go up to when im using the gnome desktop environment, alsa lets the PCM volume go over 0dB and I do not want this to happen | 15:19 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: it would be best if the kernel could do this and send every other packet to a different interface | 15:19 |
| Pici | FoolsRun: ls *.deb doesn't reveal anything? | 15:19 |
| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: If your not on a LAN that wont give you any speed increase, as your 'dialup is still the bottleneck/same IP' | 15:20 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: for transmission, but keep all the tcp acks on the right one | 15:20 |

| Huskies | Who can use Metasploit? | 15:20 |
| FoolsRun | Pici: no, it doesn't | 15:21 |
| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: Ahh, ok, I see, so you basically want downstream from satelite and upstream via the wifi antenna? | 15:21 |
| iceroot | aminho: also working with gmail and thunderbird | 15:23 |
| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: Umn, scratch that with the satelites ;) didnt read carefully | 15:23 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: no, up and down from multiple wifis in different places | 15:23 |
| geckosenator | so if one goes down it sends retries on a different interface | 15:23 |
| geckosenator | and if a new one comes online it starts using it | 15:23 |
| iceroot | aminho: i have configured indicator-applet to work with thunderbird | 15:23 |
| nyuszika7h | Hi! I've installed libv8-2.2.1.8, now how do I use it from the terminal? | 15:23 |
| maus | rumpe1, actually for a drupal site. But yes, both interfaces are based on a <textarea>. | 15:23 |
| aminho | ok iceroot, thanks | 15:23 |
| Dragonbut | What about all the programming linux is known for? | 15:23 |

| DasEi | geckosenator: then you just bind interfaces | 15:23 |
| iceroot | nyuszika7h: what you want to do with a lib on the shell? | 15:23 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: i would take the satellite, but I dont have enough $$ for one afaik | 15:24 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: the auto-aimed part is for wifi directional antennas so I can get signal from miles away, I built it using arduino and servo motor | 15:24 |
| nyuszika7h | iceroot: maybe experiment with some JS code | 15:24 |
| Dragonbut | Does the desktop version just dump that in the trash? And no. This is Ubuntu support. | 15:24 |
| pkkm | How to set a different nameserver for one user? | 15:24 |
| DasEi | geckosenator: so either if it's bandwith or it's function get's lost, the other turns in | 15:24 |
| geckosenator | DasEi: you mean in code you would call "bind" | 15:24 |
| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: Hmm... that will indeed be tricky, Im not sure the bittorrent prtocoll supports that, you might have to run multiple clients (one per interface) as I dont think the trackers deal well with changing IP addresses | 15:25 |
| DasEi | geckosenator: no, it's bounding, and is set up in /etc/network/interfaces | 15:25 |
| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: Hehe, sweet, sounds cool, did you improvice that hardware hack or do you have a link to instructions somewhere? | 15:25 |
| Dragonbut | Does the Ubuntu desktop version just dump all the programming stuff Linux is known for in the trash? | 15:25 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: I think I would have to hack the client for that specific case | 15:25 |

| Pici | Dragonbut: I don't know you're on about. You asked a general linux question here that doesn't have anything to do with support. I asked you to ask in our -offtopic channel. | 15:27 |

| ikonia | Dragonbut: if you don't know what you're talking about, I suggest you don't speak | 15:28 |
| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: Yes, Im afraid thats probably the case, but Im not an expert in that area, so maybe its possible afterall. The most obvious solution I can come up with atm is running on client per interface and trying to have them share the same storage area | 15:28 |
| ikonia | Dragonbut: if you want to discuss this take it ti #ubuntu-offtopic channel | 15:28 |
| Logan_ | atlef: that is only for natty | 15:29 |

| didier | Hi, eveyone. | 15:29 |
| AZora | MS Windows only offers a small subset of their API to programmers, then an enhanced API set to OEM vendors of a certain size. A great deal of the API is closed to everyone. Can I get help with gnome-keyring considering it is UNDOCUMENTED. | 15:29 |
| FoolsRun | .... wow | 15:29 |
| nyuszika7h | Hi, is it possible to make figlet create a smaller text? | 15:29 |
| nyuszika7h | s/text/ascii art/ | 15:29 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: that is almost certain to fail unless the client was designed for it | 15:29 |
| atlef | the hindsight of a dragon. :-) | 15:30 |
| Pici | nyuszika7h: yes, see the manpage, there are other 'fonts' that you can choose. | 15:30 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: but it probably works fine for separate torrent files | 15:30 |
| Logan_ | rww: should a factoid be made for Gnome 3? | 15:30 |
| kermit | should i care about page allocation failures that show up in my logs every few hours? | 15:31 |

| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: well if you have the HD space you could just store it in seperate folders and let the clients hookup locally, then they would exchange their parts via for example lo | 15:31 |

| ikonia | AZora: you've not said that | 15:33 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: I dont really have the space but that could work it would have slowdowns too | 15:33 |
| ikonia | AZora: ok - what software is the forum suggesting you install that isn't installed yet | 15:33 |
| FoolsRun | ikonia: Lotus Notes sucks in many ways; one of those ways is that I only have RPMs for it :) | 15:34 |
| ikonia | AZora: is the password you are trying to enter for an IRC or an IM account ? | 15:34 |
| AZora | ikonia: back in 2008 there was a script called gnome-keyring-manager but it doesn't exist according to a fresh sudo updatedb | 15:34 |
| ikonia | gnome-keyring-manager does indeed exist, updatedb doesn't mean it's not installed, that just means its not in the locate path | 15:35 |
| dd214 | In Ubuntu what is the equiv to Windows Device Manager? | 15:35 |
| AZora | ikonia: that's the thing, i'm using the same password and neither works. ANY password related function seems to request keyring access. | 15:35 |
| ikonia | AZora: so what's the password for, an IRC account, or an IM account | 15:35 |
| IsoLinCHiP | AZora: deleting the keyring file which pertains to browser login passwords, should not make the system unbootable. If you want to be on the safe side, make a backup. you can allways still restore that then from failsafe mode. as the terminal login does not use the gnome-keyring | 15:35 |
| AZora | ikonia: user = irc = im account. None of these passwords are used for the keyring | 15:35 |
| nyuszika7h | Pici: And where are installed fonts located? | 15:35 |
| ikonia | AZora: ok so what application is the password you're trying to use for | 15:36 |
| AZora | IsoLinCHiP: good know that advice was bunk, and I suspected so. | 15:36 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: for some reason the site with the wifi aimer is down I would send a link | 15:36 |
| brightspark | Hi, my wireless won't turn off anymore using the hardware switch. Can someone explain how I could do this another way? | 15:36 |
| Pici | nyuszika7h: /usr/share/figlet/ , you don't need to provide the full path though,just the font name. | 15:36 |
| AZora | ikonia: let's back up. I JUST INSTALLED 10 minutes ago. Prior to all of my other debian, ubuntu, fedora core, redhat, mandrake experience I now have a super annoying keyring prompt that accepts NO PASSWORD that I know. | 15:36 |
| IsoLinCHiP | AZora: "bunk"? | 15:37 |
| qomaik | hello | 15:37 |
| fairuz | Hi, How to launch an application (my own small application) with a specific priority? | 15:37 |
| ikonia | AZora: ok - I got that, however what's the password for (what application/account) | 15:37 |
| Pici | nyuszika7h: you may also want to look at the toilet package, I think it has other 'fonts' available, with similar behavior as figlet. | 15:37 |
| AZora | IsoLinCHiP: s/bunk/"crap advice" | 15:37 |
| ohsix | fairuz: with "nice" | 15:37 |
| qomaik | where i can found the userChrome.css file in ubuntu , i use firefox4 | 15:37 |
| ohsix | AZora: did you try no password? | 15:37 |
| fairuz | ohsix: i thought nice is for running process? | 15:37 |

| AZora | ikonia: most recent example, Empathy 2.32 and IRC | 15:38 |
| ohsix | AZora: you might have to trash the keyring and make a new one that matches your login | 15:38 |

| IsoLinCHiP | geckosenator: Hmm, too bad, might you send me the link anyway? maybe itll be up sometime in the future :) | 15:38 |
| fairuz | ohsix: oh that's renice. ok thanks | 15:38 |
| ikonia | AZora: ok - what is your IRC account you are trying to authenticate | 15:38 |
| ohsix | AZora: what you're looking for is seahorse | 15:38 |
| AZora | ohsix: I JUST STARTED. I'll delete it *again*. Maybe you think i should format the hard drive again and maybe that would be "clean" enough? | 15:39 |
| ohsix | AZora: if your keyring password was your login password it would have been unlocked already | 15:39 |
| fairuz | ohsix: do you think i can mix taskset and nice? something like taskset 01 nice -n -10 ./myapp | 15:39 |
| AZora | maybe 3 formats later the keyring will work perfectly! | 15:39 |

| nyuszika7h | 646-ca | 15:39 |
| ikonia | AZora: what is the name of the IRC account you are trying to authenticate ? | 15:39 |
| IsoLinCHiP | AZora: the gnome-keyring-manager binarys name should be seahorse, there you should be able to delete the 'login' keychain and if wanted create a new one | 15:39 |
| Loshki | mads-: if you check the 'man ls' page, it says "Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuvSUX nor --sort." -U means unsorted... | 15:39 |

| ohsix | AZora: you can keep the color commentary to yourself, something strange is going on | 15:41 |
| AZora | and the only way I was able to use Empathy for IRC was to hit cancel FOUR times on the keyring | 15:41 |
| ikonia | AZora: if you connect using say xchat does it prompt you for the password in the keyring, or does it ask you for the password within xchat | 15:41 |
| geckosenator | IsoLinCHiP: I wanted to test it, but I can't, try this: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f13/automatic-wifi-aimer-56935.html | 15:41 |
| ohsix | AZora: when it creates a new keyring it should be asking for a _new_ password; so at the very least you should have been able to enter a new one already if you deleted it | 15:42 |
| ohsix | AZora: apps want to use the keyring for storage, you can't just hit cancel and expect it to work, or refuse to enter a password and accept the storage to work | 15:43 |

| ohsix | gedO: if the temperature is high, around 55 or more, the bits eventually get annealed right off the platter and become unreadable; but if you're getting reallocated sectors it means _write_ failed, and it had to go somewhere else | 16:10 |
| DasEi | gedO: they all have bad secs, brandnew, and are automatically reallocated, that goes over their lifetime (they got spare ones) | 16:10 |
| DasEi | gedO: test by smartmontools, and send in with result | 16:11 |
| gedO | okey, going to test with smartmontools | 16:11 |

| Logan_ | gedO: what is the error? | 16:29 |
| DasEi | gribouille: got an answer already ? | 16:30 |
| gedO | Unable to lock the download directory | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | gedO: can you pastebin the error you are getting | 16:30 |
| gribouille | IsoLinCHiP, each time I boot XP, it wipes grub2 completely | 16:30 |
| gribouille | DasEi, no | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | gedO: do you have software centre open, or are updates running? | 16:30 |
| Logan_ | gedO: sudo pkill apt | 16:30 |
| nyuszika7h | ActionParsnip: Can't I install them manually? | 16:30 |
| DasEi | Stronze: please rephrase, I don't understand | 16:30 |
| IsoLinCHiP | gribouille: did you install grub2 into the MBR? | 16:30 |
| gedO | no | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | nyuszika7h: thats all I know, should be able to | 16:30 |
| gribouille | IsoLinCHiP, yes | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptfix | gedO | 16:30 |

| gedO | Logan, no | 16:31 |
| Logan_ | gedO: why? | 16:31 |
| Polah | nyuszika7h, sudo apt-get install mysql-server | 16:31 |
| GreenNerd | Miro is awesome! Thanks for the suggestion! | 16:31 |
| DasEi | gribouille: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst , there 3 lines : title My Grub2 Ubuntu in (hd0,0) root (hd0,8) chainloader +1 | 16:31 |
| IsoLinCHiP | gribouille: interesting. well, odd actually ;) Havent seen that yet, and Ive done allot of weird stuff with grub/2 ;) | 16:31 |
| gedO | error processing man-db (--configure): | 16:32 |
| gedO | subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 16:32 |
| DasEi | gribouille: Ubuntu in (hd0,0) | 16:32 |
| Stronze | dasei - if scary fsck sda1 <-- didnt understand that. im still learning the nuts and bolts here so stupid talk helped :D | 16:32 |
| teemo | if im not supposed to edit grub.cfg in grub2, what do i edit then? | 16:32 |
| mathmax | hi, could anyone tell me how to uninstall nginx? | 16:32 |
| nyuszika7h | root | 16:32 |
| gribouille | DasEi, but I managed to get it automatically | 16:32 |
| DasEi | gribouille: root (hd0,X) change xaccordingly | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | teemo: you edit the config files, grub.cfg is generated using the config files | 16:32 |
| IsoLinCHiP | teemo: /etc/grub.d/ is where you can make customizations | 16:32 |
| leg3nd | Stronze, that just runs a filesystem check on your partition which is /dev/sda1 | 16:33 |
| gibbster | After replacing my motherboard, I'm getting a grub error 25. Any advice? | 16:33 |
| DasEi | gribouille: chainloader +1 | 16:33 |
| DasEi | !info fsck | stronze | 16:33 |
| ubottu | stronze: Package fsck does not exist in maverick | 16:33 |
| DasEi | !fsck | 16:33 |
| 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 | 16:33 |
| Polah | gibbster: Ask in #grub. | 16:34 |
| gibbster | Polah: thanks, will do | 16:34 |
| Psycho_Mario | is it possible to install gnome-panel on a commandline install system without nautilus and the whole rest of gnome? | 16:34 |
| phonex01 | how can make my Partitions be mounted automatically when Ubuntu is start ? | 16:34 |
| AnubArack | DasEi, it didn't work :( | 16:34 |
| Polah | gibbster: Apparently that's due to an unrecognised command | 16:34 |
| ActionParsnip | PhoenixSTF: add them in /etc/fstab | 16:34 |
| IsoLinCHiP | phonex01: edit /etc/fstab for example | 16:34 |
| ActionParsnip | PhoenixSTF: the mountpoint folder must exist | 16:35 |
| DasEi | gribouille: idk if that's still an option, in the beginning of grub 2 there was a choice for keeping old and make it chainload, I rather now if that is still an option nor possible, but can do manually as showed | 16:35 |
| PhoenixSTF | ActionParsnip, what? | 16:35 |
| Stronze | legend / dasei thanks. now i know what im looking for in that problem | 16:35 |
| PhoenixSTF | ActionParsnip, its not me m8 i dint ask for anything | 16:35 |
| gedO | guys, unable to install smartmontools | 16:35 |
| gedO | nay help? | 16:35 |
| gedO | any help? | 16:35 |
| Polah | Psycho_Mario: I imagine you'd have to install Xorg and suchlike as well and the backend GNOME stuff for the panels as well | 16:35 |
| ActionParsnip | PhoenixSTF: d'oh | 16:36 |
| phonex01 | i see these things ! | 16:36 |

| Polah | ged0: Telling us what is actually wrong MIGHT help. i.e. an error message | 16:36 |
| benzaldehyde | teemo: i think you have a menu.lst | 16:36 |
| DasEi | Stronze: boot a live cd, run : sudo fsck /dev/sda1 on the UNmounted drive | 16:36 |
| ActionParsnip | phonex01: add them in /etc/fstab the mount point must exist for the mount to work | 16:36 |
| Psycho_Mario | Polah: xorg is fine, and backend gnome stuff is fine too. but i dont want metacity/nautilus etc considering i dont want to use them | 16:36 |
| * AnubArack lol | 16:36 | |
| Polah | phonex01, look up how to use fstab | 16:36 |
| ActionParsnip | phonex01: what does posting your fstab file achieve exactly? | 16:36 |
| DasEi | but only if scared, I'd be fine with lshw and nvm, stronze | 16:36 |
| phonex01 | ok i will look up to see how to use fstab | 16:36 |
| gedO | Polah, Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 16:37 |
| gedO | E: Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | phonex01: why did you paste your fstab file? | 16:37 |
| Stronze | dasei okay. thanks | 16:37 |
| Polah | ged0: Are you using sudo? | 16:37 |
| gedO | yes | 16:37 |
| DasEi | AnubArack: try simply with chromium-browser | 16:37 |
| phonex01 | why did i paste fstab file ? | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | !aptfix | gedO | 16:37 |
| gribouille | DasEi, how can I know it the option still exists ? | 16:37 |
| ubottu | gedO: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 16:37 |
| maco | gedO: close update mananager or software center or whatever else is open | 16:37 |
| mathmax | could anyone tell me how to remove nginx? | 16:37 |
| Polah | ged0: Is synaptic or Software Centre running? | 16:37 |
| Polah | or update manager | 16:37 |
| gedO | no | 16:37 |
| gedO | they are closed. | 16:38 |
| phonex01 | to take some information about it is content ! | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | mathmax: sudo apt-get --purge remove nginx | 16:38 |
| phonex01 | got that angry man ? | 16:38 |
| Polah | gedO, Look in your process list just in case, or try the line from !aptfix. | 16:38 |
| teemo | sudo os-prober returns: /dev/sda2:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain - id like it to say: /dev/sda3:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain | 16:38 |
| DasEi | gribouille: try to meet jordan_u, ask in #grub, use the the grystall ball of .. boogask ;) | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | phonex01: those are te configured partitions which mount, those are of no interest, you need to add to that file, so what is already in it isn't interestin | 16:38 |
| Stronze | my other problem my graphics crashes and i must reboot but im pretty sure ubuntu hasnt crashed when i open graphical things such as games | 16:38 |
| teemo | nobody is aking on grub | 16:39 |

| ActionParsnip | gedO: read the text ubottu says, there is a big command to run and it will fix it | 16:39 |
| kawohi | hey guys, do any of youuse irc clients? | 16:39 |
| ActionParsnip | kawohi: think about it | 16:39 |
| DasEi | if you know the partition of grub 2, these are 3 lines , so why bother , gribouille ? | 16:39 |
| sipior | kawohi: safe bet, in an irc channel. | 16:39 |
| === mue_ is now known as mue | ||
| === mau is now known as Guest66869 | ||
| Polah | kawohi: No, we're connected directly to the IRC network through our brains. There is no IRC clients involved | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kawohi: we MUST do as this is an IRC channel | 16:40 |
| RussellAlan | I need help with my grub2, | 16:40 |
| Polah | !ask | RussellAlan | 16:40 |
| ubottu | RussellAlan: 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. :-) | 16:40 |
| DasEi | !messenger | kawohi | 16:40 |
| ubottu | kawohi: The Instant Messenger client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete | 16:40 |
| kawohi | i mean, freenode has a web chat and theres app you can use. which one is best? | 16:40 |
| AnubArack | DasEi, nope. But it got me thinking ... if it's called a command who runs it ? if it's xchat then maybe it's /exec ..... | 16:40 |
| gribouille | DasEi, normally, I install brub (version 1 or 2) on /dev/sda | 16:40 |
| Polah | !best | kawohi | 16:40 |
| ubottu | kawohi: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:40 |
| RussellAlan | I downloaded startup manager so i can dual boot with windows but it won't load | 16:40 |
| RussellAlan | !ask | Polah to give me time to ask the question | 16:40 |
| ubottu | Polah to give me time to ask the question: 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. :-) | 16:40 |
| Polah | RussellAlan, what do you mean startup manager? GRUB supports booting into Windows on its own | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | kawohi: there is no single best app for anything in any OS | 16:41 |
| phonex01 | my partition name is /dev/sda1 how can i add it to the fstab list ? | 16:41 |
| phonex01 | and what is the UUID ? | 16:41 |
| Polah | RussellAlan, you asked to ask a question. I was pointing out that you don't need to | 16:41 |
| DasEi | gribouille: right, but to keep grub1 in mbr, grub2 will have to be forced-installed elsewhere | 16:41 |
| DasEi | !uuid | phonex01 | 16:41 |
| ubottu | phonex01: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 16:41 |
| Polah | phonex01, you can get a list of partition UUIDs by doing sudo blkid | 16:41 |
| ActionParsnip | phonex01: run: sudo blkid and you can see the UUID of the partition, you can then add a line to the file and it will mount | 16:41 |
| mathmax | ActionParsnip : thank you, it solves my problem | 16:41 |
| mathmax | :) | 16:41 |
| RussellAlan | Polah, right but I have ubuntu as main partition, then went in and installed win7, win7 took over boot, so i fixed grub but grub didnt list win7, | 16:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mathmax: coolio :D | 16:41 |
| Polah | RussellAlan: That's a problem with your GRUB config then. I don't know how to fix it. Try asking in #grub or someone else in here | 16:42 |
| Kindari | Hey guys, really weird happened. Rebooted server last night for maintenance, (its a file server running samba). All of a sudden all files back to 2/25 are gone. Any ideas? | 16:42 |
| RussellAlan | and btw, it wasnt a question it was a statement ;-) | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | kawohi: it's like asking "what is the best colour?" | 16:42 |
| gribouille | DasEi, If I do apt-get install grub2, where will grub2 be installed ? | 16:42 |
| Stronze | my other problem my graphics crashes and i must reboot but im pretty sure ubuntu hasnt crashed when i open graphical things such as games | 16:43 |
| RussellAlan | heres an ubuntu question, how can i get the "Insert CD/DVD into drive for update" When I installed from pendrive? | 16:43 |
| DasEi | gribouille: mbr, though even there need to spec. a drive, but can also sudo apt-get install grub -f /dev/sda1 to a partition then | 16:43 |
| Polah | RussellAlan, do you mean it still comes up with "Insert CD/DVD..." when you're using a pendrive | 16:43 |
| Polah | ? | 16:44 |
| gribouille | DasEi, can I install grub2 in any partition ? | 16:44 |
| DasEi | gribouille: yes | 16:44 |
| DasEi | gribouille: will give some will give some warnings, but is possible | 16:45 |
| DasEi | warnings* | 16:45 |
| gribouille | DasEi, whatv does the -f option mean ? | 16:45 |
| RussellAlan | Polah, no, should I have the pendrive inserted and try to do the update? | 16:45 |
| DasEi | force | 16:45 |
| itilious | who wants to recommend to me the BEST appearance skin/theme for ubuntu? | 16:46 |
| DasEi | !best | 16:46 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:46 |
| leg3nd | DasEi, unless its a seperate boot partition isnt it supposed to just be /dev/sda? without the 1 | 16:46 |
| Polah | RussellAlan: Why can't you update through Update Manager? | 16:46 |
| gribouille | DasEi, the command should be sudo apt-get install grub2 -f /dev/sda1 ? | 16:46 |
| phonex01 | guys can i found a calculator for password hash used in shadow file ? | 16:47 |
| Polah | leg3nd: Yes. Should be just /dev/sda if you don't want a specific partition. i.e grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntudrive /dev/sda | 16:47 |
| DasEi | gribouille: 1) see above 2) on current distros grub is grub2, so grub | 16:47 |
| RussellAlan | Polah, it asks me to insert the disc | 16:47 |
| Polah | phonex01: Why would you want to do that? | 16:47 |
| Polah | RussellAlan, I don't know then, sorry. | 16:47 |
| toehio2 | how to I remove a service from startup in Ubuntu 10.04? Things have changed since earlier versions, and I am no longer to remove services from start up like I was used to. | 16:47 |
| leg3nd | Polah, thnx thought so | 16:47 |
| DasEi | !grub-common | 16:47 |
| DasEi | !info grub-common | 16:47 |
| phonex01 | today my professor forget his password on ubuntu and he asked me to fix it | 16:47 |

| phonex01 | i edited shadow file | 16:48 |
| DasEi | !info grub-pc | 16:48 |

| DasEi | !info grub-legacy | 16:48 |
| ubottu | Package grub-legacy does not exist in maverick | 16:48 |
| phonex01 | wait i will show you | 16:48 |
| RussellAlan | is there a way to boot to diff /sda? | 16:49 |
| Polah | Yeah specify which one would be the root directory to have grub put into | 16:49 |
| Polah | Or select a different partition in the GRUB menu | 16:50 |
| david5345 | I am using Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration:ConfigFileFormat to configure my users thunderbird accounts, how do I disabled all junk mail filters ? | 16:50 |
| gribouille | DasEi, why doesn't grub legacy find my Windows XP ? | 16:50 |
| phonex01 | Polah you there ? | 16:50 |
| phonex01 | see this line " phonex01:$6$3pmyTJsi$3TtlN3lnZvJHFFDitfirlyZFT4pLJyAeC/T3DZpJ69CHcfWC29VQnr/:14966:0:99999:7::: " | 16:51 |
| DasEi | gribouille:has no os-prober.. seems like you didn't tell whole story in first place | 16:51 |
| david5345 | phonex, that's a salted SHA512 hash from /etc/shadow | 16:51 |
| phonex01 | yes thats right | 16:51 |
| sipior | phonex01: not something you want to publish on a public channel. | 16:51 |
| RussellAlan | Polah, how do i get to the grub menu? lol that is the issue | 16:51 |
| phonex01 | i know that man | 16:51 |
| david5345 | The new grub menu can be reached by holding the shift key during boot | 16:52 |
| phonex01 | how can i generate this hash ??? | 16:52 |
| DasEi | gribouille: which ubu-distro do you use ? | 16:52 |
| sipior | phonex01: install "makepasswd" | 16:52 |
| cyrix | hey there. is it stable to install gnome 3 from ppa? | 16:52 |
| phonex01 | oh thank you | 16:52 |
| gribouille | DasEi, maverick | 16:52 |
| Polah | RussellAlan, hold shift during boot | 16:52 |
| david5345 | phonex01 in PHP, you can use the crypt() function | 16:52 |
| DasEi | gribouille: so that comes with grub2 | 16:52 |
| gribouille | DasEi, yes | 16:52 |
| DasEi | gribouille: and the thing to chainload is xp ? | 16:53 |
| phonex01 | makepass can make SHA512 hash ? | 16:53 |
| Bibs | anyone around :\ | 16:53 |
| mang0 | ME! | 16:53 |
| DasEi | bobs | 16:53 |
| gribouille | DasEi, if I put grub2 on the MBR, each time I run XP, grub2 disappears | 16:53 |
| phonex01 | and what about function crypt() in php it will generate SHA512 hash ? | 16:53 |
| Bibs | i can't get 10.10 to recognize my touchpad | 16:54 |
| david5345 | phonex01, for /etc/shadow I either use the passwd command or generate it in PHP using crypt($password, '$6$'. $salt); | 16:54 |
| Bibs | any idea's as to why? | 16:54 |
| cyrix | phonex01: I didn't worked with php for some time, but there was a method called sha - or don't you need it? | 16:54 |
| openclic | slt | 16:55 |
| phonex01 | what does '$6$'. $salt mean ? | 16:55 |
| DasEi | gribouille: that's strange | 16:55 |
| Bibs | ... | 16:55 |
| Bibs | so | 16:55 |
| david5345 | $6$ means it's gonna be a SHA512, $1$ means MD5 | 16:55 |
| Bibs | any ideas? | 16:55 |
| cyrix | phonex01: http://php.net/manual/en/function.sha1.php | 16:55 |
| david5345 | Bibs, what model of laptop do you have ? what does lspci say ? | 16:55 |

| Polah | Wherever you mount it... Probably /media/ or /mnt | 16:59 |
| rumpe1 | frybye, get mountpoint from "mount" output, cd mountpoint | 16:59 |

| nyuszika7h | Bibs: it's not a Synaptics touchpad | 16:59 |
| Bibs | oh.. | 16:59 |

| Bibs | that's what im trying to do :\ | 16:59 |
| Bibs | and i don't have a normal mouse to navigate | 17:00 |
| Bibs | so i think my ubuntu experience just ended lol | 17:00 |

| frybye | DasEi: like you mean this:- sudo chmod +x start.exe && sudo chown ron start.exe | 17:04 |
| frybye | ActionParsnip: the mount command produced a page of gobbledegook... | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: read it, it makes sense | 17:05 |
| meganerd | phonex01: there is more than one way to do it. Have a look at howtoforge | 17:05 |

| kukuNut | any idea when firefox 4.0 in 10.10? | 17:06 |
| meganerd | derango: the log in window already allows this | 17:06 |

Then the ram says 60% used in programs and 40% in cache and the program goes really slow.. and the I/O drops to like 1-2% in comparison to 50-60% that was before. Is that normal? if i free cache that would improve anything? i run ubuntu 64bit, java64bit and eclipse64.. so i don't understand why it can't pull more than 60% of th | 17:07 |

| === xiambax_ is now known as xiambax | ||

| frybye | so how to I get in there?? | 17:13 |
| soreau | frybye: You have to mount it to a directory | 17:13 |
| frybye | it is mounted on the system.. I have an icon for it on the desktop and can access it per gui... | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: you can't do that, it is a block device, once you mount the device, you can then access it | 17:14 |

| frybye | soreau: ok thanks... | 17:14 |
| soreau | Stronze: That is a poor gpu and the driver really cant run games | 17:14 |
| Stronze | soreau - replace driver? | 17:15 |
| soreau | Stronze: gpu | 17:15 |
| Stronze | soreau - i was afraid that this computer was that old | 17:15 |
| frybye | dev/sda2 on /media/054037263199AA45 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions) - eh so /media/05***** is the directory it is mounted in - right? | 17:15 |
| soreau | It used to work better in the past but the newer driver stack simply cant make the card perform | 17:15 |
| Stronze | soreau - was that to me or fry? | 17:16 |
| soreau | you | 17:16 |
| Stronze | okay | 17:16 |
| soreau | Stronze: Its focused on the newer intels, like >= i9xx | 17:16 |

| Polah | frybye: You need to put filenames with spaces in them within "" | 17:17 |

| birdthief | Hi. I just got natty working on an MBA 3,1 | 17:19 |
| Stronze | soreau - hmm would the archived distros be up to date before upgrades? | 17:19 |
| birdthief | shall I post a wiki entry | 17:19 |
| birdthief | ? | 17:19 |
| soreau | Stronze: Nope, probably not even supported any more | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: simply avoiding spaces makes life a tonne easier | 17:19 |
| ikonia | birdthief: why ? | 17:19 |
| frybye | Polah: soreau ok I am in the right dir - and now I need to chmod or chown or whatever the start.exe - what wouild be the command for that (when I am in that dir already..?) | 17:20 |
| soreau | ! natty | birdthief | 17:20 |
| ubottu | birdthief: 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. | 17:20 |
| Stronze | soreau - i know not supported but hoping they was fully updated to date of non-support | 17:20 |
| Polah | frybye: To make it executable? | 17:20 |
| soreau | frybye: chmod +x /path/to/file.exe | 17:20 |
| birdthief | ikonia: because by default, sound and the touchpad don't work | 17:20 |
| frybye | ActionParsnip: sure this is a partition that 99.999% of the time is used and created by win7 | 17:20 |
| jelle | Anyone with experience with installing mod-mono on maverick? | 17:20 |
| soreau | frybye: But that is a windows executable so you would need to run it with wine or so | 17:20 |
| ikonia | birdthief: for you they don't, | 17:20 |
| frybye | just dont have room on my buntu part. | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: that's fine, it's ntfs and ubuntu can read and write to it | 17:21 |
| birdthief | ikonia: Now they do :) | 17:21 |
| frybye | soreau: yeah .. but the path has a load of spaces in it too so is there not a way to do it within that directory without the path being stated in the command? | 17:21 |
| Polah | I know Ubuntu supports NTFS, but can Windows support ext4? | 17:21 |
| frybye | Polah: dont think so... | 17:22 |
| soreau | frybye: wine /media/blah/blah/file\ with\ spaces<tab><tab> | 17:22 |
| soreau | frybye: tab will autocomplete the name for you | 17:22 |
| sipior | Polah: sort of: http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/ | 17:22 |
| frybye | soreau: so if I am already IN the right directory cant I just do a chmod +x start.exe or..? | 17:22 |
| soreau | frybye: . is the current working directory, so do chmod ./file.exe | 17:23 |
| frybye | ok soreau: thanks... | 17:23 |
| Stronze | soreau - thanks for that info. ill tell em to buy a new pc if they want to do anything kool | 17:23 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: if you are trying to run windows apps which are installed on your NTFS partition, its not going to work unless the app is extremely portable | 17:23 |
| soreau | Stronze: Yea, radeon is a good investment right now | 17:24 |
| frybye | will see action... | 17:24 |
| soreau | They have the best open source drivers | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: if it did, you could simply copy apps between systems and never have to pay | 17:24 |
| Stronze | soreau - radeon graphics cards? | 17:24 |
| soreau | Stronze: yes | 17:24 |
| ActionParsnip | frybye: there are registry entries and files which need to go in the windows directories and such | 17:25 |
| Stronze | soreau - does radon native support linux? | 17:25 |
| soreau | Stronze: yes | 17:25 |

| cookieMonster | Tr3LoS: What's the problem? | 17:26 |
| geo77 | LetsGo67: it depends on what you use it for | 17:26 |

| daaaaaaaa | LetsGo67 - 32 works better in some cases. | 17:26 |
| frybye | chmod ./start.exe - produces missing operand after `./start.exe' | 17:26 |
| Roasted_ | How do I set which one of my interfaces I want to handle DHCP handouts? | 17:26 |
| soreau | Stronze: nvidia does not support the open source community. They keep all of their hw specs locked up. AMD on the other hand releases hw specs for radeon cards and even has several full time paid devs to work on the radeon driver | 17:26 |
| itilious | RussellAlan, what you trying to do? | 17:26 |

| Tr3LoS | is there any other chat I can ask for help? | 17:28 |
| frybye | soreau: did you see that doing sudo chmod ./start.exe produced missing operand after `./start.exe' | 17:29 |
| cookieMonster | Tr3LoS: This would probably be your best bet other than forums. | 17:29 |
| soreau | frybye: You forgot +x | 17:29 |

| frybye | i see... | 17:29 |
| Tr3LoS | btw, now with the live CD, / is mounted normaly | 17:29 |

| geo77 | yeah, you need 64 bit, I am not sure but I think there is a way that you can have two different Ubuntu instances in the same machine, and of course VirtualBox is another option | 17:32 |
| jelle | RussellAlan: should be like #title Windows #root (hd0,2) #makeactive #chainloader +1 | 17:33 |

| asi3296 | do i need to do the whole setup again | 17:43 |

| asi3296 | *huh guys... how do i insert the nick of the peaple i want to reply | 17:45 |
| maco | asi3296: start typing it and hit tab | 17:45 |
| asi3296 | maco: ok thank | 17:46 |
| inthewind | many times i have to reinstall ubuntu 10.10 because i get into somekind oh initramfs shell | 17:46 |
| asi3296 | maco: so if i do the whole setup again, i will lost my samba config? | 17:46 |
| compdoc | shouldnt have to reinstall at all | 17:46 |
| maco | asi3296: you could just back up the samba config | 17:46 |
| maco | compdoc: if you delete all of /bin? | 17:47 |
| maco | compdoc: you're pretty thoroughly screwed in that situation | 17:47 |
| inthewind | many times i have to reinstall ubuntu 10.10 because i get into somekind oh initramfs shell. i hear some clicks from hard drive | 17:47 |
| compdoc | guess you would be | 17:47 |
| Vizzl3 | 10.04>>>10.10 | 17:47 |
| maco | inthewind: clicks in hard drive are a bad sign. like "backup right now" bad | 17:47 |
| frybye | rumpe1: got two pages of fault report .. giving up.. never mind.. like i say have a win7 pc next to me.. dont like to be driven into the arms of m$ of course.. hehe | 17:48 |
| inthewind | is there a way to test hard drive i hear some click sounds from it | 17:48 |
| maco | inthewind: i'd backup FIRST and then you can use smartctl to check for errors | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | inthewind: i suggest you grab the ultimate boot cd and test the drive using that. | 17:48 |
| asi3296 | compdoc: so can i do some kind of repair | 17:48 |
| ActionParsnip | inthewind: clicking isn't healthy | 17:48 |

| itilious | would using "i915.modeset=1" on boot have anything to do with ubuntu crashing everytime i try to play an mp3 from a podcast? | 17:49 |
| rumpe1 | inthewind, there should be a drive-manager in the administration-menu | 17:49 |
| frybye | bye folks - thanks for all your help - have a nice one (or 3...) | 17:49 |
| ayecee | itilious: what are you playing it with? | 17:49 |
| maco | asi3296: the only sort of workaround i can think of would be copying all of /bin from another system with same ubuntu version and same architecture and *hoping* you didnt have any packages installed that that system doesn't | 17:49 |
| itilious | default ubuntu media player | 17:49 |
| rumpe1 | inthewind, but when i hear clicks i immediately unmount the drive and make a backup/image | 17:49 |
| itilious | it crashes when i try to stream the mp3 from internet, and doesnt play at all in some players after completely downloaded | 17:49 |
| ayecee | itilious: in that case, maybe yes. it seems like totem does a modeset on startup, regardless of whether it's playing video. | 17:50 |
| ayecee | it makes my video glitch for a moment when i have dual monitors. | 17:50 |
| asi3296 | maco: but i cant even log on my syteme ( with the missing /bin) | 17:50 |
| itilious | ayecee, i have to use i915.modeset=1 on boot to GET it to boot correctly, is there a way for me to play these podcast mp3s? | 17:50 |
| raido | asi3296: you could have success by doing as close an install as the ruined on another machine and then copying /bin over from the new install | 17:50 |
| ayecee | itilious: try another player, maybe. You say you just get no sound for other players? | 17:51 |
| itilious | ayecee, thanks again btw for the help with the vpn, i can't stop using ubuntu again cuz its doing EVERYTHING i need it to and properly (minus this mp3 podcast playback issue) | 17:51 |
| eric__ | ? | 17:51 |
| eric__ | what's up man? | 17:51 |
| asi3296 | raido: installe on another partiontion and then cp to the crashed one? | 17:51 |
| raido | asi3296: no, another computer altogether | 17:52 |
| inthewind | maco: is there a way to use only the healthy parts of the hard drive? | 17:52 |
| asi3296 | but how do i will cp the /bin folder to the crash system if i cant even log on it | 17:53 |
| maco | asi3296: you'd need to boot from some other medium or pull the hard drive and put it in an enclosure to hook up to a working system and copy the working system's /bin | 17:53 |
| ayecee | inthewind: if the drive is clicking, there is no "healthy part". | 17:53 |

| ActionParsnip | stercor: I think sipior has the key | 18:30 |
| v3nil | ayecee: on atmega128 or atmega64? | 18:30 |
| Stava | How can I see if the crontab service is running? | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | zero1: vlc I believe, mplayer will certainly do it :) | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Stava: ps -ef | grep cron | 18:31 |
| arthurbrazil | I have an an ad hoc network and I believe that is the easiest way to do so. | 18:31 |
| Xylch | Does Ubuntu come with a web server or do I need to install one? | 18:31 |
| arcaos | hello folks | 18:31 |
| ayecee | v3nil: oh sorry, probably not the AVRs. | 18:31 |
| stercor | sipior: Nope, just a plain-old file on my hard drive. | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Stava: or: service cron status | 18:31 |
| asi3296 | cant im on another machine | 18:31 |
| sipior | ActionParsnip: oh well. | 18:31 |
| IsoLinCHiP | jrib: dev/sda7 on /media/Games1 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions) | 18:31 |
| sipior | stercor: can you show the result of "lsattr"? | 18:32 |
| Stava | ActionParsnip, thanks, i guess /usr/sbin/cron is it, how do I know if there are any errors in the /etc/crontab file or something? all of a sudden my cronscript stopped executing | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | stercor: is the partition mounted read only? | 18:32 |
| jrib | IsoLinCHiP: if the file ends in .exe, it should be executable « man ntfs-3g » talks about this I think | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Stava: look in /var/log there may be a cron log | 18:32 |
| stercor | sipior: lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on ./pi2B.txt | 18:32 |
| arcaos | could you please help me to change the mouse cursors in ubuntu-gnome.... can't finde it. Installed kubuntu to try and on my way back I have the kubuntu mouse theme.... | 18:32 |
| IsoLinCHiP | it end ins .exe of course ;) However the fs flag for executable isnt set. | 18:32 |
| mordof_ | how do i add permission for the mysql daemon to access an ntfs hard drive? | 18:33 |
| sipior | stercor: what filesystem is backing this file? | 18:33 |
| randomuser-field | arthurbrazil just set the only subnet to assign the desired ip to your mac. eg in manpage | 18:33 |
| jrib | IsoLinCHiP: but exec is default, so that shouldn't matter | 18:33 |
| volvering | how to find out what kernel i am using? | 18:33 |
| stercor | sipior: Perhaps this might help: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2000000002 2011-04-03 21:48 pi2B.txt | 18:33 |
| Jackneill | anyone can you help me? i have a router, but i cant connect to that, cuz i need firmware, in additional drivers i cant activate cuz i dont have internet connection, what to do? | 18:33 |
| IsoLinCHiP | Well, obviously its not default, otherwise I wouldnt have the problem ;) | 18:33 |
| asi3296 | raido: but i see /dev/sda1, sda2, sda5 , sbd1,2,5 (sdb is my ''screwed'' hdd) | 18:34 |
| xqvp43 | hi guys, is there a 'Beyond Compare' alternative under ubuntu? | 18:34 |
| stercor | sipior: ext4. | 18:34 |
| Memphizzz | how do i change the highlight color if someone writes my nickname in pidgin? | 18:34 |
| Psychobudgie | Jackneill, drivers for a router? | 18:34 |
| xqvp43 | for file or directory compare/merge | 18:34 |
| asi3296 | after sda1 it tell me that partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundaries | 18:34 |
| Jackneill | yep, i get this msg: firmware is missing | 18:34 |
| Psychobudgie | Jackneill, you sure it's not a usb modem? | 18:34 |
| asi3296 | raido: after sda1 it tell me that partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundaries | 18:34 |
| sipior | stercor: and what are the permissions of the directory? | 18:34 |
| arthurbrazil | Thanks randomuser-field would that work for multiple computers, and could you elaborate I am not quite sure what you mean. | 18:35 |
| Jackneill | yep it's not | 18:35 |
| raido | asi3296: pastebin the output if "fdisk -l" | 18:35 |
| Jackneill | it's a router, u set up someone ago | 18:35 |
| Jackneill | :p | 18:35 |
| Jackneill | i* | 18:35 |
| asi3296 | raido: i cant .... | 18:35 |
| Psychobudgie | Jackneill, very unlikely it's a ubuntu related issue if it's a router | 18:35 |
| sipior | stercor: also, could you paste the relevant line from "mount"? | 18:35 |
| raido | asi3296: why | 18:35 |
| jrib | IsoLinCHiP: there are two possible issues. One: the partition is noexec. Two: the file is does not have executable permission | 18:35 |
| mbeierl | Xylch: you need to install apache or some other web server | 18:35 |
| mbeierl | !apache | Xylch | 18:35 |
| ubottu | Xylch: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 18:35 |
| asi3296 | raido: im not on the same machine | 18:35 |
| Psychobudgie | Jackneill, try a factory reset | 18:35 |
| stercor | sipior: /dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro) | 18:36 |
| Jackneill | how to? | 18:36 |
| raido | asi3296: the live cd doenst give you internet access? | 18:36 |
| IsoLinCHiP | jrib: Not sure what you mean about exec beeing default, but not a single file on the drive is +x | 18:36 |
| Xylch | mbeierl: Thanks much | 18:36 |
| jrib | IsoLinCHiP: exec just means files *can* be executable | 18:36 |
| randomuser-field | arthurbrazil you can tell dhcpd to assign specific settings to a given mac address. you can specify a list of macs for a rwnge of ips too. | 18:36 |
| Psychobudgie | Jackneill, usually a button on the router hiding underneath a small hole. The manufacturers website should show it | 18:36 |
| jrib | IsoLinCHiP: or maybe more accurately, that files *can* be executed | 18:36 |
| mbeierl | Xylch: you're welcome. there's a lot of info out there, that's for sure. | 18:36 |
| Devlin | hey there | 18:36 |
| Roasted_ | where is the dhcp config file stored? | 18:37 |
| jrib | IsoLinCHiP: in any case, by default files that end in .exe should be made executable by ntfs-3g | 18:37 |
| Jackneill | nothing problem with the router, im in win7 using the router and it's works | 18:37 |
| IsoLinCHiP | jrib: Communication issue here, I know chmod, etc, the file is not exec, no file is, the part is not mounted as noexec | 18:37 |
| Devlin | there's a problem with my game controllers | 18:37 |
| Jackneill | so i dont know whats the problem | 18:37 |
| sipior | stercor: hmm, bit of a head-scratcher. you can get a root prompt via "sudo -i" without any trouble? | 18:37 |
| Devlin | while i'm playing a game the mouse moves | 18:37 |
| zero1 | Problem With Mplayer : FLV File Error CAnnot Find Codec for Audio Format 0xA | 18:37 |
| Devlin | and certain buttons act as mouse buttons | 18:37 |
| asi3296 | raido: nop | 18:37 |
| randomuser-field | arthurbrazil man dhcpd.conf | 18:37 |
| stercor | sipior: It gives the root prompt # | 18:38 |
| asi3296 | raido: tiny core.... | 18:38 |
| arthurbrazil | ok will do thanks | 18:38 |
| Psychobudgie | Jackneill, what model is the router | 18:38 |
| asi3296 | after sda1 it tell me that partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundaries | 18:38 |
| asi3296 | raido: but i see /dev/sda1, sda2, sda5 , sbd1,2,5 (sdb is my ''screwed'' hdd) | 18:38 |
| asi3296 | raido: after sda1 it tell me that partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundaries | 18:38 |
| raido | asi3296: how many HDs are in that box | 18:38 |
| asi3296 | 2 | 18:38 |
| IsoLinCHiP | jrib: ntfs-3g is installed, so I would hope that nautilus uses it by default to mount, which it beeing mounted as rw would indicate to me, still leaving my original question where can I change the default settings for nautilus mount | 18:38 |
| jrib | IsoLinCHiP: does the file end in .exe? | 18:39 |
| asi3296 | raido: sda (/bin is missing) and sdb | 18:39 |
| IsoLinCHiP | jrib: *sigh* yes, it does. | 18:39 |
| Jackneill | psychobudgie wait a sec | 18:39 |
| raido | asi3296: so the answer is 2? | 18:39 |
| zero1 | HElp Problem With Mplayer : FLV File Error CAnnot Find Codec for Audio Format 0xA | 18:40 |

| raido | asi3296: so the answer is 2? | 18:40 |
| stercor | sipior: Could the 2,000,000,002 file size have anything to do with it? | 18:40 |
| michael_ | does anyone know how to mount a usb flash drive onto ubuntu? | 18:40 |
| stercor | sipior: I can change the ownership of other, smaller files in the directory. | 18:40 |

| === dom__ is now known as hkfreedom | ||
| stercor | sipior: Um, yes... | 18:41 |
| acicula | michael_: usually just inserting the flash drive makes it show up in the file browser or under the places menu | 18:41 |
| jrib | IsoLinCHiP: well unmount it, mount it manually to figure out proper options you want first. You can modify the options in gconf somewhere | 18:41 |
| j4cbo | hi, folsk - i've got an Ubuntu 9.10 system that i'm trying to upgrade to 10.04 LTS. i'm following the 'server' instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades, but do-release-upgrade says "No new release found". | 18:41 |

| j4cbo | anyone know what i should do to figure out what's going on? | 18:41 |
| acicula | j4cbo: tried with -d ? | 18:42 |
| Jackneill | psychobudgie TP LINK TL-WR741ND | 18:42 |
| Psychobudgie | Jackneill, that's no router | 18:42 |
| raido | asi3296: where is /back | 18:42 |
| asi3296 | raido: but it return me mounting sda2 failed | 18:42 |
| Psychobudgie | Jackneill, that's a wireless extender/bridge device | 18:42 |
| michael_ | i plugged the usb flash drive and it doesnt show up anywhere in the file system i looked under the device manager and it pops up with the name and everything it does this for all my usb flash drives | 18:42 |
| Pici | acicula: Please don't suggest -d, that will attempt to bring it up to the development release. | 18:42 |
| asi3296 | raido:.... /bak | 18:42 |

| Jackneill | this router | 18:43 |
| stercor | sipior: It's on my local hard drive /dev/sda1 | 18:43 |
| j4cbo | apparently i should set Prompt=normal in the config file, not Prompt=lts | 18:43 |
| j4cbo | but won't that upgrade me to 10.10? | 18:43 |
| acicula | Pici: oh ok, i assumed -d would just go for the next release | 18:43 |

| asi3296 | raido: terminal | 18:44 |

| IsoLinCHiP | randomuser-field: Multiple reasons. 1. It works in windows 2. It used to work fine with wine. | 18:45 |
| jrib | IsoLinCHiP: search for "ntfs" :) | 18:45 |

| Kindari | Hey guys, my raid controller died on me but I need access to the drives. How would I go about finding out the new drive ids, and remounting them to a specified path (/media/fileserver) | 18:55 |
| stercor | sipior: I was able to change the ownership of the 1,887,436,800-byte file. | 18:56 |
| jumpkick | is there a tool I can use to diff the currently installed package's configuration against the repo version of the package? | 18:56 |
| sipior | stercor: well, i guess you know what's next :-) | 18:56 |
| acicula | deveras: apt-get functions normally even if some of the repos you added do not function. so all you did was fix apt-get complaining about broken PPA's that are not working anymore. | 18:56 |
| stercor | sipior: report a bug? | 18:56 |
| Bholzi | Anyone on walk me through downloading and installing Gnome-shell either publicly or privately?.. Having alot of trouble - 10.10 (mav) | 18:56 |
| sipior | stercor: i was going to suggest making another file of size 2000000000. | 18:57 |
| stercor | OK. | 18:57 |
| Psychobudgie | Jackneill, factory reset the device and it should prompt you to rerun the wizard again when you connect to it | 18:57 |
| firedfox | Jackneill: what's your wireless mode? is it '802.11bgn mixed'? | 18:57 |
| deveras | thanks acicula | 18:57 |
| acicula | Bholzi: are you building it from source or something, afaik its included as a package and works just fine if installed using apt-get? | 18:57 |
| Psychobudgie | Jackneill, it is possible that something in the configuration is off from windows | 18:57 |
| Bholzi | acicula: afaik? | 18:58 |
| acicula | Kindari: what ki9nd of raid | 18:58 |
| acicula | Bholzi: as far as i know | 18:58 |
| Bholzi | acicula: Hold.. I will try the apt-get | 18:58 |

| dem0 | hey I have a question about piping in bash | 19:00 |
| stercor | sipior: `sudo dd if=/dev/null of=newfile bs=1000M count=2' create a zero-byte file. | 19:00 |
| fisch2461 | well i thought this was a natty issue... but nope... it's a mav issue >.< well i suppose it's both... i did in update in natty... then booted into mav... and suddenly the wireless stopped working... but only in mav... any ideas? | 19:00 |
| asd2 | live cd just has options for try or install.. how can I get recovery mode? | 19:00 |
| sipior | stercor: q | 19:00 |
| acicula | nfreader: you'll need to resize the filesystem as well | 19:00 |
| sipior | stercor: not /dev/null. /dev/zero! | 19:00 |
| Bholzi | acicula: 'E: Invalid Operation afaik' .. I am thinking a reload of my system | 19:00 |

| dem0 | acicula okay. can you link me to something that explains what that does? :/ | 19:02 |
| stercor | sipior: created a 2,097,152,000-byte file and I chown'ed it just fine. | 19:02 |
| acicula | dem0: redirects stderr to stout to dev/null | 19:02 |

| arthurbrazil | I thought mac filtering was working but it just assigned a IP threw dhcp to a computer not listed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/590904/ | 19:03 |
| fisch246 | ok well i'm back | 19:03 |
| michael_ | can anyone help with me with usb thumb drives? | 19:03 |
| acicula | arthurbrazil: i explained to you already, ti does not filter, al it does is map the same hostname to a mac adress | 19:03 |
| fisch246 | anyway... know how to get my wireless working again in mav? since it's obviously not my card? >.< | 19:03 |
| asd2 | i did apt-get install unity on 10.10 and now any gui wont show up. how do I undo? | 19:04 |
| acicula | fisch246: tried plugging in a cable and letting the system update? | 19:04 |
| sipior | stercor: can you cut and paste the original chown command here, along with the error? | 19:04 |
| fisch246 | acicula: i'll give that a shot brb | 19:04 |
| acicula | michael_: can you describe the problem you have, after you plug it in what happens? | 19:04 |
| arthurbrazil | Yes but I have deny unknown-clients; | 19:04 |
| erkan^ | !source | 19:04 |
| ubottu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 19:04 |
| acicula | fisch246: you may ahve to be conncted via cable until you have enabled a wireless driver via the hardware drivers menu | 19:05 |
| stercor | sipior: It worked this time. Here's the command: `sudo chown ted:ted pi2B.txt' | 19:05 |
| sipior | stercor: possibly a typo earlier? | 19:06 |
| stercor | sipior: and its result: `-rwxrwxrwx 1 ted ted 2000000002 2011-04-07 13:23 pi2B.txt' | 19:06 |
| Cissmayazz | Perhaps you guys know what the problem is: i have sound while playing music but i can't get some in browers. | 19:06 |
| fisch246 | alright in mav now with ethernet... tried to run an update, but nothing to update | 19:06 |
| stercor | sipior: I won't dismiss the possibility. :-) | 19:07 |
| sipior | stercor: well, either way, it works now :-) | 19:07 |
| fisch246 | any other ideas? | 19:07 |
| naryfa | Hi everyone | 19:07 |
| acicula | fisch246: under administration-> hardware drivers , can you enable a driver there? | 19:07 |
| asd2 | how can I open terminal if gui wont show up, just background? any shortcuts for that? | 19:07 |
| naryfa | asd2: ctrl alt t | 19:08 |
| fisch246 | acicula: yea there's one already activated, as should be... should i try reinstalling it? | 19:08 |
| stercor | sipior: Looking back in .bash_history, the original command seems to be `ted@rigel:~/Desktop$ sudo chmod 777 pi2B.txt', which explains everything. | 19:08 |
| acicula | arthurbrazil: eh then i dont know, maybe the mac is still in a lease file somewhere? | 19:08 |
| acicula | fisch246: no it should be activated, can you see any wireless access points ? | 19:09 |

| Roasted_ | Riddle me this - I'm working with an Ubuntu server on our network. I CANNOT ping internally to hostnames. I CAN ping externally to hostnames. So I can ping our servers by IP, but I cannot ping our servers by hostname. However, I can ping www.google.com and other various web sites. It's clear DNS internally doesn't work, yet externally it's fine. A windows box on the same switch works 100%, so it's definitely something with my config. This server is running | 19:09 |
| Roasted_ | DHCP on a different subnet as well. What can I do? | 19:09 |

| naryfa | oneliner: don't want to use synaptic? | 19:10 |
| acicula | fisch246: if you click the network icon in the taskbar, do you see any networks you can connect too? or how are you concluding that your wireless is not working? | 19:10 |
| fisch246 | acicula: yea there's non in the list | 19:10 |
| oneliner | naryfa: thing is, it stopped working, that worries me a little | 19:10 |
| fisch246 | acicula: however on natty it connects right away | 19:10 |
| acicula | fisch246: know what wireless card you ahve? | 19:10 |
| sipior | Roasted_: try using dig to resolve an internal host, and see what comes back. | 19:10 |
| acicula | fisch246: or what laptop | 19:11 |
| Roasted_ | sipior, never heard of dig. do I just run dig *hostnameofserver* ? | 19:11 |
| sipior | Roasted_: yep | 19:11 |
| PowerTux | Can I see in the log of squidGuard what site the user tried to access when denied ? | 19:11 |
| Roasted_ | sipior, whats the golden ticket here that I need to look for? | 19:11 |
| fisch246 | acicula: i believe a broadcom and it's a dell inspiron 1440 | 19:11 |
| naryfa | oneliner: that's why I'm saying you can try using synaptic? Or see this website if it helps http://www.ubuntux.org/node/9157 | 19:12 |
| acicula | PowerTux: that some kind of filtering proxy at home? then yse | 19:12 |

| Roasted_ | sipior, I did one of our file servers as well as google in this paste - http://tinypaste.com/ab1d03 | 19:13 |
| fisch246 | acicula: no idea | 19:13 |
| PowerTux | acicula: only squid | 19:13 |

| carandraug | Hi! I have a question about disabling the root account. From what I read on the man page, usermod -l will only disable the password and I should use -e 1 to disable the account.

| Roasted_ | sipior, so what does that mean? | 19:14 |
| sipior | Roasted_: can you pastebin the contents of /etc/resolv.conf? | 19:14 |
| Roasted_ | sipior, I dont need this on my other ubuntu server... | 19:14 |

| sipior | all right. | 19:14 |
| Roasted_ | #generated by network manager - line 1. nameserver 10.52.1.2 - line 2 | 19:14 |

| sipior | mutatis mutandis, of course. | 19:15 |
| acicula | fisch246: eh ok, well broadcom wirelses cards can be a bit iffy, if it works out of the box with natty it might just be worth it to switch, any particular reason you switched back to ubuntu 10.10? | 19:15 |

| acicula | fisch246: can you pastebin the output from lspci in a console, i can have a look at how to get it working under 10.10 | 19:17 |
| acicula | fisch246: its a driver issue alright, otherwise youd be seeing wirelses ap's at the very leastr | 19:17 |

| brontosaurusrex | any comments on nfs vs ssh transfer speed? | 19:18 |
| === maedox__ is now known as maedox | ||
| maria | naryfa, no, I did a fresh install | 19:18 |
| acicula | PowerTux: i dont know anything about squidGuard or what you mean by a redirect page. If you run a proxy server on your network like squid and its set to log requests then you can view whatever it is set to log | 19:18 |
| fisch246 | acicula: http://pastebin.com/AAh0zwEj | 19:19 |
| raido | brontosaurusrex: Id guess NFS if its configured well | 19:19 |
| erUSUL | brontosaurusrex: ngfs should be faster if anything because encryption overhead in ssh. also you are comparing apple to orenges nfs is a network filesystem. ssh is not | 19:19 |
| PowerTux | anyone knows about squidGuard ? | 19:19 |
| fisch246 | acicula: hm... never knew you could get this info from lspci | 19:20 |
| maria | naryfa, any idea what could be causing that error? | 19:20 |
| fisch246 | acicula: i thought it was just for video cards and the like | 19:20 |
| acicula | fisch246: it does what it says, list everything on the pci(e) bus | 19:20 |
| brontosaurusrex | erUSUL, uhmm, so something like 'connect to server' in nautilus or sshfs wouldnt count as network filesystem? | 19:20 |
| fisch246 | acicula: ah ok | 19:20 |
| fisch246 | acicula: btw i'm using the broadcom STA driver | 19:21 |
| acicula | fisch246: dunno what that means | 19:21 |
| fisch246 | acicula: there's 2 drivers i can pick from... one is STA the other is B43 | 19:22 |
| fisch246 | acicula: i've been told STA is better | 19:22 |
| acicula | fisch246: aside from the fact that its not working :0 | 19:22 |
| erUSUL | brontosaurusrex: well i would count sshfs in "neat hack thnaks to fuse" category not in the network filesystem one ;P | 19:22 |
| naryfa | maria: I'm trying to find out | 19:22 |
| acicula | fisch246: did it work with the B43 driver? | 19:22 |
| acicula | fisch246: if you dont know can you try | 19:22 |
| naryfa | maria: is it during apt-get update? | 19:22 |
| fisch246 | acicula: yea sure i'll install it now | 19:23 |
| brontosaurusrex | erUSUL, yeah, can you see any practical differences? | 19:23 |
| maria | naryfa, yes, during update | 19:23 |
| erUSUL | brontosaurusrex: as i said nfs is bound to be faster | 19:23 |
| fisch246 | interesting... i thought STA was under free license... | 19:24 |
| acicula | fisch246: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 19:25 |
| fisch246 | acicula: found the network... and connecting... connected :D | 19:25 |
| arthurbrazil | acicula, Thanks I cleared the lease file and that did the trick. | 19:25 |
| acicula | fisch246: BCM4312 is listed as b43 and not as STA | 19:25 |
| brontosaurusrex | erUSUL, ok, thanks, is it a huge pain to install server (still on karmic) and client (maverick)? | 19:25 |
| fisch246 | acicula: ah ok | 19:25 |
| fisch246 | well i'll use B43 from now on then | 19:26 |
| fisch246 | thanks | 19:26 |
| acicula | fisch246: i dont know if sta is a free driver or not, that wiki page i linked seems to suggest its not | 19:26 |
| acicula | arthurbrazil: excellent :) | 19:26 |
| rodhash | Hello Guys.. Where does cheese save the vidoes / photos? I mean, in which path? | 19:27 |
| Starminn | rodhash: ~/.gnome2/cheese somewhere in there? | 19:27 |
| acicula | arthurbrazil: do remember that this doesnt filter unknown mac addresses, anyone connected can still assign him/herself an ip and connect | 19:27 |
| arthurbrazil | acicula, do you have anymore information on filtering thru dhcp by any chance? | 19:28 |
| rodhash | Starminn: it's not there.. | 19:28 |
| acicula | arthurbrazil: dhcp is not meant for access control to a network. if that is what you require you should look for other approaches | 19:29 |
| arthurbrazil | Oh alright, at leat this is a good start I guess | 19:29 |
| Starminn | rodhash: IS there not a folder in there for "media"? | 19:29 |

| geekbri | im not using crontab -e im editing /etc/crontab directly | 19:31 |

| ruan | is there a way to mount a drive to a location without using the hard disk space? | 19:35 |
| raido | ruan: ? | 19:36 |
| acicula | ruan: that doesnt make any sense, do you want to mount a drive in read only mode? | 19:36 |
| ruan | eg. i want to mount drive1 on drive2, but without making drive2 lose space | 19:36 |
| muelli | hihi | 19:36 |
| raido | ruan: it wont | 19:36 |
| ruan | hmm. why am i losing 30gb then | 19:37 |

| guntbert | ruan: if you use a directory with files in it as mount point those files will be inaccessible | 19:38 |
| acicula | volvering: what distribution are you using | 19:38 |
| volvering | acicula, ubuntu | 19:38 |
| volvering | maverik | 19:38 |
| volvering | acicula, maverik | 19:39 |

| root__ | hello | 19:39 |
| ruan | my home dir takes up 50 gb >_> | 19:40 |
| geekbri | i think i hate cron :) | 19:40 |

| ohzie | brontosaurusrex: but ssh is still better. :3 | 19:41 |
| tjiggi_fo | Hi H4gbard , root__ | 19:41 |
| acicula | volvering: and what is broken/not working anymore? | 19:41 |
| guntbert | H4gbard: don't irc as root | 19:42 |
| volvering | acicula, the rtl8187 card dont work properly no... even not detect all the reds.. | 19:42 |
| acicula | volvering: what kernel did you boot? | 19:42 |
| H4gbard | re .. forgot to turn it off .. sry ^^ | 19:43 |
| acicula | brontosaurusrex: well one of those uses encryption, so a speed difference should not really be a surprise | 19:43 |
| brontosaurusrex | ohsix, on intranets i dont see why use ssh for huge files over ftp? | 19:43 |
| volvering | acicula, what do u mean? | 19:43 |
| brontosaurusrex | acicula, sure, but not 2x difference? | 19:43 |
| guntbert | H4gbard: just a general word of warning :) | 19:44 |
| ohzie | brontosaurusrex: tab twice so you don't set off the poor man's hilight. :( Some people value security. | 19:44 |
| acicula | volvering: the page you linked explains how to patch and build a custom kernel well over 3 years old, did you boot that custom kernel | 19:44 |
| brontosaurusrex | ohzie, INTRAnets | 19:44 |
| ruan | how do i get wine's file manager to show hidden folders? | 19:44 |
| volvering | acicula, i think yes | 19:45 |
| brontosaurusrex | anyway, with that speed difference i think i will try to setup nfs as well | 19:45 |
| H4gbard | i know i know.. thx a lot ;) this is my second time in irc :( | 19:45 |
| acicula | brontosaurusrex: well ftp is limited by your disk speed or the smallest pipe in the route, encryption is limited by the speed by which your processor can add | 19:45 |
| guntbert | H4gbard: Do you have an ubuntu support question? | 19:45 |

| Andrew_ | hi guys | 19:45 |
| === Andrew_ is now known as Guest97860 | ||
| Guest97860 | I have a question | 19:45 |
| H4gbard | no guntbert. i only want to see how this works.. i think the questions are coming while working | 19:46 |
| ohzie | brontosaurusrex: I use it on my intranet at work because all I need to do is have ssh working and I don't have to set up an ftp server | 19:46 |
| guntbert | H4gbard: have fun :) | 19:46 |
| Guest97860 | DLNA servers,what app doea ubuntu offer in this dept? | 19:46 |
| brontosaurusrex | acicula, actually my comparision is bad, i should use the same client for both, like filezilla, and see whats up with that | 19:46 |
| H4gbard | thx a lot :) | 19:46 |
| acicula | volvering: then the solution would be to boot the kernels provided with ubuntu and stay well clear of ancient kernels ;) | 19:46 |
| volvering | acicula, i start from where it say "$ wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-$(date -I).tar.bz2" untilll "$ sudo make wlunload" | 19:47 |
| mang0 | Guys I need a site where I can upload 10gb of data free.....any ideas? | 19:47 |
| acicula | brontosaurusrex: yeah but you do see that the speed difference is arbitrairely determined by the speed of your hdd/network vs your cpu | 19:47 |
| Guest97860 | I see mediatomb is available but that does not convert I think | 19:47 |
| guntbert | H4gbard: another word of caution: you should not do everyday work as root at all | 19:47 |
| acicula | get a cpu thats twice as fast or an i7 with aes instructions and you see different speeds | 19:47 |
| ohzie | mang0: I don't think that exists. | 19:47 |
| gribouille | hi | 19:47 |
| brontosaurusrex | acicula, no i dont, my client cpu is well inside green zone | 19:47 |
| mang0 | crap...if it doesnt it means i have to buy a new harddrive | 19:48 |
| volvering | acicula, someone on this page redirect me to that page to patch the rtl8187 for work with aircrack | 19:48 |
| mang0 | :/ | 19:48 |
| gribouille | I have grub (version 1) and install grub-pc. when I install tha package, upgrade-from-grub-legacy is automatically called. what does that mean ? | 19:48 |
| volvering | acicula, coz of this error http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/ticket/742 | 19:48 |
| acicula | volvering: i understand what you are doing, but building custom kernels is not supported, if you must have the special features for aircrack consider using a distribution that is designed for it? | 19:48 |
| acicula | volvering: like backtrack | 19:48 |
| H4gbard | guntbert: u are right, but i ve updated something so i was root ;) btw: is there anything like a man for irssi-commands? | 19:49 |
| Guest97860 | anyone here use media streaming at home? | 19:49 |
| volvering | acicula, ok i understand now .. so how to delete the change i made? | 19:49 |
| acicula | volvering: just deleting the custom kernel from /boot and the modules from /lib should do it | 19:49 |
| guntbert | H4gbard: I don't know about irssi, but as for updates: learn to use sudo/gksudo | 19:50 |
| acicula | volvering: maybe the kernel make file comes with a uninstall option | 19:50 |
| acicula | volvering: mind you dont remove all modules from /lib/modules/ , just the ones for your custom kernel | 19:50 |
| ruan | H4gbard: irssi? what are you looking for | 19:50 |
| DJones | H4gbard: Try typing /help in your irssi status window | 19:50 |
| H4gbard | ok ill do :) so ill try google and help :) | 19:50 |
| llutz | H4gbard: http://www.irssi.org/documentation | 19:51 |
| Guest97860 | I'm not running ubuntu yet so can not search on that os | 19:51 |
| brontosaurusrex | Guest97860, i play movies from server to client sometimes | 19:51 |
| Guest97860 | do you have problems streaming? | 19:51 |
| acicula | mang0: you can get some free storage , but not 10Gb, unless you use something like google mail to store your data, but that wouldnt be very reliable since its against the eula | 19:51 |
| Guest97860 | or do you use a dedicated programme or server? | 19:52 |
| H4gbard | thx for the hints.. the url was really easy. i had to think about that by myself *grr* | 19:52 |
| brontosaurusrex | Guest97860, with fullHD movies i can get over the limit of the wireless network yes, what problems? | 19:52 |
| Guest97860 | no probs as yet | 19:52 |
| volvering | acicula, mmmm i dont know how to catch them.. | 19:52 |
| brontosaurusrex | Guest97860, nothing dedicated, this are just two pcs | 19:52 |
| daniel__ | Whoa... new to Xubuntu, what is Xchat? A chat program for linux only people? | 19:52 |
| acicula | mang0: you have some freebies with amazon cloud storage and at dropbox | 19:53 |
| brontosaurusrex | daniel__, irc client | 19:53 |
| mang0 | hm? | 19:53 |
| brontosaurusrex | daniel__, like mirc on windows for example | 19:53 |
| gribouille | isn't it possible to chainload grub-pc anymore ? | 19:53 |
| DJones | daniel__: Its windows & linux irc client | 19:53 |
| mang0 | basically | 19:53 |
| Guest97860 | just bought a new sony bravia tv | 19:53 |
| Guest97860 | ,will buy new pc soon and also a home theatre,just want to be sure if I install and run ubuntu on the new pc I'll be able to play back music to hts | 19:53 |
| mang0 | i need to partition my D drive for ubuntu. ATM my d drive is backup | 19:53 |
| acicula | volvering: installing a kernel leaves a kernel image,initrd, system map file in /boot and a directory with modules under /lib/modules with the name of the custom kernel version | 19:53 |
| Starminn | daniel__: You can use it on Windows too. | 19:54 |
| acicula | if you delete those and reupdate grub it should be gone | 19:54 |
| rhalff | hi I have random crashes, in general, last one was when I tried to mount a cd, any clues what kind of hardware could be failing ? most obvious the memory maybe ? | 19:54 |
| janska | hello , i just migrate from ubuntu 1010 2 xubuntu and i lost sound where i can get it again (sorryu 4 bad ENG) | 19:54 |
| volvering | acicula, or to do just this steps as is mentioned on the page? Uninstalling the package | 19:54 |
| volvering | Should you be in any way dissatisfied with the new drivers, you can uninstall them very easily and return to your default wireless kernel drivers: | 19:54 |
| volvering | $ cd compat-wireless-$(date -I) | 19:54 |
| volvering | $ sudo make uninstall | 19:54 |
| volvering | $ sudo make wlunload | 19:54 |
| FloodBot1 | volvering: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 19:55 |
| acicula | volvering: that should work | 19:55 |
| brontosaurusrex | Guest97860, what kind of servers are supported by this hts? | 19:55 |
| Guest97860 | home theatre system/hts | 19:55 |
| acicula | rhalff: well its always a bit of a guess, but memory is a good place to start. Is this a standard ubuntu installation or do you have any custom (compiled) software, also does the entire system crash or just some programs | 19:55 |
| Guest97860 | there's a service,mezzmo | 19:56 |
| Guest97860 | organises your libraries for you but only runs windows | 19:56 |
| janska | such a guru, & nobody doesnt try to help | 19:57 |
| Guest97860 | I'm wanting to know if there's a similar app for ubuntu | 19:57 |
| Guest97860 | found one called mediatomb | 19:57 |
| volvering | acicula, that dont work! it say there is no rule | 19:57 |
| Guest97860 | but it does not transfer files into readable format | 19:57 |
| acicula | volvering: you have to make sure you are in the same directory as where the files are that you unpacked | 19:57 |

| Starminn | DasEi: He could ssh? (I know nothing about ssh, thus my suggesting it to you) | 20:01 |
| ohzie | jiltdil: It would be best to get that friend to log into a chat network like irc or aim, and use irssi or naim respectively. Alternatively, you can SSH into his box or he can SSH into your box and you can echo "" | wall eachother to your hearts' content. | 20:01 |

| DasEi | jiltdil: you just got his IP or you want t irc over terminal ? | 20:02 |
| jiltdil | ohize:ok | 20:02 |

| jiltdil | Daesi:no i asked only about irssi,please tell me how to chat if i had his ip | 20:02 |
| DasEi | gribouille: idk | 20:02 |
| gribouille | DasEi, you should | 20:03 |
| rhalff | uhm question, is it correct that I cannot switch to a console with ctrl + alt + function key anymore in the beta version of ubuntu ? I'm booting straight into X and I don't get a login shell on the other consoles | 20:03 |
| acicula | gribouille: you probably have version 1 of grub installed, which is why it insists on running that upgrade to grub2 | 20:03 |
| Starminn | !natty | rhalff | 20:03 |
| ubottu | rhalff: 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. | 20:03 |
| XOXO1 | how to get gnome3 on ubuntu?' | 20:03 |
| gribouille | acicula, but it wasn't tha case before | 20:03 |
| DasEi | jiltdil: irssi is a irc messenger for terminal, so that's not your option, google teamspeak | 20:03 |
| acicula | gribouille: the description of grub-pc is pretty clear on it not being compatible with grub-legacy(version 1_ | 20:03 |
| gribouille | acicula, I don't want to install grub2 | 20:04 |
| Starminn | XOXO1: Only an old version at the moment, or on 11.04 | 20:04 |
| jiltdil | Daesi: ok thanx | 20:04 |
| Starminn | !info irssi | 20:04 |
| ubottu | irssi (source: irssi): terminal based IRC client. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.15-1ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 1067 kB, installed size 2876 kB | 20:04 |
| XOXO1 | im on 10.something | 20:04 |
| acicula | gribouille: then you can not install the grub-pc package | 20:04 |
| Starminn | XOXO1: Only an outdated version so far. You can run Fedora 15 Alpha and use it though, but again, not on Ubuntu 10.* | 20:04 |
| XOXO1 | ok | 20:05 |
| gribouille | acicula, just look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 : it says that you can upgrade to grub2, but you don't have to | 20:05 |
| acicula | gribouille: correct | 20:05 |
| gribouille | acicula, but that's not what happens | 20:05 |
| === lolmatic1 is now known as lolmatic | ||
| gribouille | acicula, if you install grub-pc, you're upgraded automatically to grub2 | 20:06 |
| acicula | gribouille: if you do not install grub-pc you will not have to upgrade right | 20:06 |

| gribouille | acicula, but with grub1, there is no entry for my Windows XP | 20:06 |

| lwizardl | what would be considered the best linux mail reader for multiple mail accounts?? | 20:07 |
| txomon | Hi, does anyone use any documenting tool? | 20:08 |
| Starminn | !Best | lwizardl | 20:08 |
| ubottu | lwizardl: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:08 |
| Starminn | lwizardl: I use Thunderbird, though, because I got used to it in Windows and saw no need to switch., | 20:08 |
| acicula | so if you do not want to install version 2 of grub then do not install the grub-pc package. If your windows is not detected by grub the first step is usually to ensure that windows is properly shutdown | 20:08 |
| acicula | ie, boot windows and then make sure it shutsdown cleanly | 20:09 |
| gribouille | acicula, of course it does | 20:09 |

| brontosaurusrex | neverblue, pure-ftpd | 20:15 |
| ayecee | gedO: but mostly if the number goes up. | 20:15 |
| orbarron | ayecee: i get to the install screen then see a black screen with a cursor on the top left side of my display | 20:15 |
| orbarron | ayecee: after that nothing happens.. I am forced to reboot | 20:16 |
| gedO | ayecee: any softwsare to write 0 or 1 on thouse bad sectors? | 20:16 |
| ayecee | orbarron: Let's see if I understand. You get to the usb boot screen and launch the installer, then the screen goes blank with a flashing cursor? | 20:16 |
| ayecee | gedO: for what purpose? | 20:16 |
| acicula | gedO: you can tell the disk firmware to remap sectors as good using a low level format, but it does not fix the drives surface. best to just shell out for a new drive | 20:17 |
| gedO | ayecee: to awoid for system use | 20:17 |
| ayecee | gedO: awoid? | 20:17 |
| gedO | avoid | 20:18 |
| ayecee | gedO: is your disk reporting bad sectors now, or are you just concerned about the reallocated sector count? | 20:18 |
| neverblue | brontosaurusrex: thx | 20:18 |
| txomon | Pici: I am talking about documenting all work, from meetings to software releases, going by ways things work, all stuf | 20:18 |

| gedO | so I'm looking for a way to fix them | 20:19 |
| gedO | or reduce | 20:19 |
| acicula | gedO: reallocated count means the drive is compensating for bad sectors | 20:19 |
| Domingo | do you know how could I use my usb modem Huawei e1550 with this OS? | 20:19 |
| gedO | or something | 20:19 |
| ayecee | gedO: they can't be fixed, but they're not causing a problem at the moment aside from the warning. | 20:19 |
| brontosaurusrex | txomon, dokuwiki maybe | 20:19 |
| ayecee | gedO: you can get rid of the warning only by replacing the disk | 20:19 |
| txomon | Pici: np... I have asked in #ubuntu-es and they talked me about doxygen | 20:19 |

| lavon | also i did not know that ubuntu had live chat | 20:24 |
| nit-wit | lavon, I like deluge myself, they should both install and be in the menu. | 20:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | txomon, it is a normal wiki, this one is flat-file databased thought, so basically you can copy/paste it to say local enviroment - server ect | 20:24 |
| lavon | ok | 20:24 |
| ayecee | orbarron: oh, this is only for the 64bit? | 20:24 |

| txomon | thats nice for CVS | 20:24 |
| ayecee | orbarron: I don't really have any suggestions, then | 20:25 |
| acicula | Domingo: from what i can grasp by googling is that it shouldm work with a current version of ubuntu. You can try this out yourself by creating a livecd or usbstick and booting that | 20:25 |

| jaeddu | does anyone know why the ubuntu software center wont let me download oracle virtualbox? | 20:32 |
| Nero- | what is it saying | 20:33 |
| root_ | thx IdlOne , | 20:33 |
| root_ | thx Ayecee , and everybody for your help ^^ | 20:34 |
| jaeddu | unsafe item | 20:34 |
| jaeddu | let me get more accurate. sorry | 20:34 |
| Nero- | . | 20:34 |
| acicula | jaeddu: its not included in the ubuntu repositories | 20:35 |
| txomon | brontosaurusrex: I just looked the wiki you suggested, and it is not intended to be what I am trying to find, as the main wiki uses a CVS, and I was thinking about implementing it in the project's CVS | 20:35 |
| acicula | jaeddu: you will have to go to the oracle virtualbox website and add their repository for ubuntu | 20:35 |
| rww | !gpg-err | jaeddu | 20:36 |
| rww | !gpgerr | jaeddu | 20:36 |
| ubottu | jaeddu: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <key> » | 20:36 |
| jaeddu | ok. i literally tried it 10 time from the software center and from oracle website. to no avail. i just tried again and its working | 20:36 |
| rww | lol computers. | 20:36 |
| bastidrazor | heh | 20:37 |
| shazbotmcnasty | ^ what he sai | 20:37 |
| shazbotmcnasty | d | 20:37 |
| brontosaurusrex | txomon, i dont follow you, but i imagine you could integrate the flat-file database into CVS | 20:37 |
| jaeddu | random ftw! | 20:37 |
| shazbotmcnasty | what happened here | 20:37 |
| jaeddu | thank all! | 20:37 |
| k3yhol3 | heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy | 20:37 |
| shazbotmcnasty | hi. | 20:37 |
| txomon | brontosaurusrex: I was thinking about integrating ALL wiki in the project | 20:37 |
| brontosaurusrex | txomon, and why not? | 20:38 |
| k3yhol3 | 2 and a half man... very cool | 20:39 |
| superroot | /quit | 20:39 |
| LjL | k3yhol3: what? | 20:39 |
| txomon | brontosaurusrex: that wiki would have it's own pages revision history, and the versioning system also | 20:39 |
| vacho | my ubuntu server is using a bunch of swap so it slows down the entire server,,, what to do???? | 20:40 |

| neverblue | brontosaurusrex: would you be able to help me with the pureftpd setup for a moment ? | 20:43 |
| brontosaurusrex | txomon, i cant see a problem with that..... | 20:44 |
| lavon | hello | 20:44 |
| brontosaurusrex | neverblue, ask | 20:44 |
| neverblue | brontosaurusrex: I am using this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP and after the command: "sudo pure-pw mkdb" I get the error: "Unable to open the passwd file: No such file or directory" | 20:45 |
| acicula | Jibadeeha: odd, whats the error you get when you double click the disk in places? | 20:45 |
| kitche | vacho: I would look into apache myself I stopped using their httpd myself but that appears could be the leak | 20:45 |
| bars_tt | Всем привет | 20:45 |
| txomon | brontosaurusrex: my group is using svn... and I hate crashes, merges and those things... so I need that the wiki uses project svn to store pages and changes | 20:45 |
| Jibadeeha | acicula, it says "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 21: " | 20:45 |

| acicula | Jibadeeha: connect the disk to the nearest windows machine and cleanly remove the drive | 20:47 |
| Jibadeeha | achillion, it doesn't show anything the /var/log/syslog either | 20:47 |
| acicula | Jibadeeha: via eject hardware or something called to that extend | 20:47 |
| Jibadeeha | acicula, will try that .. strange it works on my other ubuntu laptop though | 20:47 |
| neverblue | ha, there is a #pureftpd channel, but it requires invitation | 20:48 |
| neverblue | brontosaurusrex: can you offer assistance, else i will look elsewhere | 20:48 |
| ether_boy | why is facebook not accesible from any browser on ubuntu 10.10 over ADSL network internet | 20:48 |
| brontosaurusrex | neverblue, look elsewhere | 20:48 |
| neverblue | brontosaurusrex: gotcha, thanks again | 20:49 |
| acicula | Jibadeeha: could try administration->disk utility and see if it says anything, but mounting errors with ntfs ussualyl come from uncleanly removed filesystems | 20:49 |

| Jibadeeha | meganerd, yeah it doesn't even output anything and just returns to the prompt | 20:56 |
| acicula | Jibadeeha: dont know then, maybe due to different ubuntu version? | 20:57 |
| meganerd | Jibadeeha: try this: "sudo mkdir /mnt/test" | 20:57 |
| acicula | Jibadeeha: or does the disk show up in dmesg when you plug it in? | 20:57 |
| meganerd | Jibadeeha: then "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/test" | 20:57 |
| ether_boy | Nero-, Facebook on my ubuntu 10.10 stops responding soon after I login, The login page refuses to appear evry now and then. Evrytime I need to clear the browser cache to see the facebook login page | 20:57 |

| meganerd | ether_boy: what browser and what version? I have had problems with Chrome and facebook, though those problems are on all the platforms I have tried | 20:58 |

| ubottu | xsodia_: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 21:31 |
| leapy0yo | mv is mostly a rename command, right? is there a way to move but also change the owndership of the file using only one command? | 21:32 |
| randomuser-field | mitras mount the partition cp home to it then add it to fstab | 21:32 |
| leapy0yo | or to change the ownership of a file using cp? | 21:32 |
| iceroot | leapy0yo: no | 21:32 |
| Success | where is /proc ? | 21:32 |
| iceroot | Success: /proc | 21:33 |
| acicula | lavon: there are some howtos, but really the best is to just grab an introductionary text to programming | 21:33 |
| llutz | :D | 21:33 |
| Success | it says like /pro/cpuinfo or something | 21:33 |
| Success | how do I get there | 21:33 |
| iceroot | Success: that is the path | 21:33 |
| iceroot | Success: cd /proc | 21:33 |
| iceroot | Success: less /proc/cpuinfo | 21:33 |
| mitras2 | randomuser-field: sry - I'm new to Ubuntu. I dont know the Terminal-comands | 21:33 |
| iceroot | Success: leave less with "q" | 21:34 |
| acicula | since /proc/cpuinfo is just a file you can jsut open it via the filebrowser in gedit | 21:35 |

| soreau | When I set gconf key /desktop/gnome/remote_access/alternative_port to something other than the default 5900 and enable use_alternative_port, I no longer can connect with vncviewer locally via LAN. If I disable use_alternative_port, it works. How can I change the port and still have it work? (or why does it break?) | 21:35 |
| Chilaquiles | hey guys I have a problem with my ubuntu, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and the battery stopped reading, I know it works because when I disconnect the charger I can keep using the computer, but the battery led is flashing red, any sugestions? | 21:35 |

| acicula | Success: soreau there should also be a listeing port | 21:41 |
| ubottu | teemo: 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 | 21:41 |

| hipu | soo....i'm a noob (to penguin), and i think i accidentally my entire java 6 jre/openjdk installation | 21:42 |
| YankDownUnder | ether_boy, If it's ONLY Facebook, repeat ONLY Facebook, then there has to be an issue with DNS on your network/router/modem, don't ya reckon? | 21:42 |
| acicula | soreau: k, now change it and check the port it listens on again? | 21:42 |
| hipu | is there anyone who can help me with this? | 21:42 |
| soreau | acicula: Alright | 21:42 |
| acicula | junixbr: debsums can do that | 21:43 |
| andai | hipu... reinstall java? :P | 21:43 |
| teemo | so whats Namoroka? | 21:43 |
| junixbr | acicula, let me try | 21:43 |
| hipu | i installed java over top of openjdk, and it would not work, so i uninstalled java, and now apt-get won't work | 21:43 |
| iceroot | hipu: errors to pastebin please | 21:44 |
| acicula | hipu: how did you install java on top of openjdk? | 21:44 |
| soreau | acicula: Ok, I enabled use_alternative_port and now netstat is showing it's listening on the port I set.. | 21:44 |
| hipu | haha i just installed it acicula | 21:44 |
| acicula | hipu: via apt-get or did you use something | 21:44 |
| acicula | else | 21:44 |
| hipu | and iceroot i suppose i could make some errors....lemme try | 21:44 |
| ether_boy | YankDownUnder, I have got windows installed on the same machine using the same network, facebook runs fine on them! | 21:44 |
| iceroot | hipu: just show use with usefull details what "apt-get wont work" means | 21:45 |
| soreau | acicula: And haven't restarted vino. The current instance of vncviewer is still working but if I try to start another instance, it says connection refused | 21:45 |
| acicula | soreau: can you paste the line? | 21:45 |
| acicula | from netstat i mean | 21:45 |
| soreau | acicula: tcp6 0 0 :::12850 :::* LISTEN | 21:45 |
| hipu | acicula i used apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 21:45 |
| stefg | !wontwork | 21:45 |
| teemo | so where did firefox 4.0 install? | 21:45 |
| hipu | and i'll get right on that icerrot | 21:45 |
| teemo | i still have namoroka | 21:45 |
| acicula | soreau: if you connect to that port via netstat can you connect? | 21:45 |
| hipu | iceroot | 21:45 |
| stefg | !doesntwork | 21:45 |
| ubottu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 21:45 |
| acicula | soreau: also you do not have any ipv4 configured or are you consciously ignore ipv4? | 21:46 |
| acicula | *ignoring | 21:46 |
| soreau | ! work | stefg | 21:46 |
| ubottu | stefg: please see above | 21:46 |
| theacolyte | Sorry, this is a horrible question, but I can't find the answer - is there a way to set a global .mailrc? | 21:46 |
| theacolyte | The user I'm sending using doesn't have a home directory | 21:46 |
| acicula | i meant connect via netcat or telnet or anything you like | 21:46 |
| YankDownUnder | ether_boy, Mate, the joke I made earlier is a very pointed statement; This is not Windows, and whether or not Windows works is not the issue; the issue is that a single site, i.e., Facebook, does not work properly under Ubuntu. Having removed all other issues, browsers and plugins and the likes, you have to then think about the actual network and network related issues, and therefore, resolve those issues firstly. | 21:46 |
| teemo | its Minefield? | 21:47 |
| soreau | acicula: I don't know how to 'connect to that port via netstat' and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary with ipv4 AFAIK | 21:47 |
| soreau | acicula: I don't know how to connect via netcat or telnet | 21:47 |
| wfaulk | I'm having trouble getting audio output over HDMI. I've had it woring before with another Ubuntu installation, but I can't make it happen now | 21:47 |
| gibbster | hey guys. My ethernet card works when I boot ubuntu live, but not when I do a regular startup. Anyone know why? | 21:47 |
| acicula | soreau: how are you normally connecting from the client ? | 21:48 |
| wfaulk | the audio devices seem to show up properly, and speaker_test seems to work, other than no audio being produced on the speakers | 21:48 |
| stefg | ether_boy: DNS resolving problems come to mind ... you windows and your ubuntu might have different DNS servers configured | 21:48 |
| soreau | acicula: vncviewer <SERVER IP> | 21:48 |
| acicula | soreau: and when you change the port how do you connect | 21:48 |
| soreau | acicula: Same way | 21:48 |
| YankDownUnder | ether_boy, So, in lieu of those facts, I'd try to make use a change to your DNS servers in your connection; you can add a Google DNS server, which is 8.8.8.8, to your existing DNS server(s), restart your network connection, and try again. | 21:48 |
| acicula | soreau: you need to specify the different port | 21:48 |
| filipe_ | salut | 21:48 |
| soreau | acicula: Do I need <SERVER IP>:<PORT> ? | 21:48 |
| * soreau tries | 21:48 | |
| SmogExtreme | Buenas tardes | 21:49 |
| acicula | soreau: eh depends on how vncviewer expects arguments | 21:49 |
| acicula | soreau: ip:port is a convention, but maybe it requires -p or --port etc | 21:49 |
| SmogExtreme | Estimados programadores del software libre quisiera pedir un favor | 21:49 |
| soreau | acicula: Ah yes, that works | 21:49 |

| aeon-ltd | SmogExtreme: espanol? /join #ubuntu-es | 21:50 |
| acicula | soreau: normally you dont need to specify the port because 5900 is an accepted default port, so if you change it on the server you will have to specify this on any client | 21:50 |
| ether_boy | YankDownUnder, I have tried using google dns servers and openDNS, but the problem lies on my machine. I have been facing this problem since the last 3 times I installed ubuntu 10.10. Facebook was working fine earlier. Both ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7 professional are using the same DNS servers right now | 21:50 |

| stefan__ | Does anyone know, why my Ubuntu 10.10 returns to the login screen in 80% of the time when i want to shut down? | 22:18 |
| mithridates | any idea about installing gnome3? | 22:18 |
| xangua | mithridates: it's only for !natty | 22:18 |
| meganerdca | acicula: I have been playing around with natty on my SB i5, it is still a work in progress, even with the beta | 22:18 |
| acicula | \Jan\: apt-get upgrade lists any pending upgrades, not sure if it has an option to sort these by bugfix or priority security updates | 22:18 |
| geraudk2000 | acicula: it's work if I connect another Screen (fine but not Good resolution) | 22:18 |
| meganerdca | acicula: it should be supported by natty by release, as well as Fedora 15 | 22:18 |
| mithridates | xangua: but I've seen in in launchpad there is a package for maverick | 22:18 |
| mithridates | is it stable enough to use natty? | 22:19 |
| hipu | acicula do you think if i just did a fresh install it would be better? because i did *just* install ubuntu 10.10 | 22:19 |
| mithridates | how's natty? can someone give me a feedback? | 22:19 |
| ubuntu | all adress on radio world online list where i found it? | 22:19 |
| soreau | acicula: Does 'telnet port ip' check for tcp or udp? | 22:19 |

| acicula | hipu: if you cant fix it thats definitly the quickest way | 22:20 |
| Clovis | mithridates, this isnt the place for that.. try #offtopic plz | 22:20 |
| Konnie | Hey everyone, I need some help with my fresh ubuntu installation | 22:20 |
| acicula | soreau: tcp only | 22:20 |
| mithridates | so I wait, Clovis I'm talking about ubuntu and it's not offtopic!!!! | 22:20 |
| acicula | soreau: you cant really connect with udp since its not connection oriented | 22:20 |
| Clovis | mithridates, ummmm. | 22:20 |
| soreau | acicula: Now I'm trying to connect from external ip but it says connection refused even though sys>prefs>remote desktop shows I can connect from some external-looking ip, however, it isn't what 'whatismyip.com' say it should be | 22:20 |
| hipu | acicula haha okay...and should i try for the 11.04 beta? or would that be for someone who actually knows linux lol | 22:20 |
| Clovis | this chan is for helping others, not feedback.. there are ppl in offtopic who will discuss that.. respect the channel plz | 22:21 |
| Galvatron | mithridates: Best add Gnome 3 PPA and sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade. Then log out and choose an apprioriate session. | 22:21 |
| Konnie | I could really use some help, long story short - my lappy boots to a black screen after I installed 10.10 | 22:21 |
| acicula | hipu: dont try betas if you have trouble fixing stable releases ;) | 22:21 |
| Konnie | and I have literally no idea what could be causing it | 22:21 |
| soreau | acicula: I can ping this ip it says I should be able to connect from, but when I try vncviewer on it, it says connection refused | 22:21 |

| soreau | hmm | 22:22 |
| Galvatron | Konnie: What laptop is it? | 22:22 |
| acicula | soreau: eh that depends on how you are connecting | 22:22 |
| asadeddin_ | hey soreau | 22:22 |
| asadeddin_ | i had this problem | 22:22 |
| asadeddin_ | a solution that's quick and easy | 22:22 |
| Konnie | Sony Vaio Z, it might be a display issue since it has specialised gpu drivers | 22:22 |
| asadeddin_ | is just to install x11vnc | 22:22 |
| asadeddin_ | then ssh into the other machine | 22:22 |
| asadeddin_ | and then type x11vnc and connect to it | 22:23 |
| acicula | geraudk2000: when you boot your laptop without a monitor connected does it show you the login screen? | 22:23 |
| meganerdca | soreau: asadeddin_ or just use nmap to verify that the port is listening | 22:23 |
| soreau | meganerdca: How with nmap? | 22:23 |
| meganerdca | sudo nmap -sV <ip of target> -p <port to check> | 22:24 |
| asadeddin_ | i spent hrs yesterday trying to set this up, and nothing showed what was wrong to be honest. I just ran x11vnc instead | 22:24 |
| asadeddin_ | made my life a ton easier | 22:24 |
| === ExpletiveDeleted is now known as Ascelonia | ||
| geraudk2000 | acicula: no, I just get a black Screen | 22:24 |
| asadeddin_ | not that vncviewer is bad or anything | 22:24 |
| asadeddin_ | it's just not simple to setup | 22:24 |

| === jono_ is now known as jono | ||
| soreau | So the port is open, I wonder what else I have to do | 22:25 |
| Konnie | Galvatron: The laptop is a Sony Vaio Z, it's probably not an installation issue as I've done it through two live CDs and once through the windows installation software | 22:25 |
| geraudk2000 | acicula: yes, I have login screen on both monitors | 22:26 |
| meganerdca | soreau: does it identify the service? | 22:26 |
| acicula | geraudk2000: both monitors? | 22:26 |
| soreau | meganerdca: I don't know | 22:26 |
| mithridates | Galvatron: that didn't work, didn't install gnome3 packages, is the source for ppa from apt-get different with aptitude? | 22:26 |
| cg2916 | how do i make the grub command line switch from the primary to the secondary hard drive? | 22:27 |
| geraudk2000 | acicula: yes, both monitors | 22:27 |
| acicula | geraudk2000: by that you mean two separate monitors or a monitor and your laptop screen? | 22:27 |
| geraudk2000 | acicula: I have login Screen on a two separate monitors | 22:28 |
| soreau | meganerdca: How to check if it's identifying the service? | 22:28 |
| === tyler is now known as Guest8828 | ||
| \Jan\ | security, does anyone speak it? | 22:28 |
| acicula | geraudk2000: you have a login screen showing on the laptop screen and on the external monitor? | 22:29 |
| nopz | http://pastebin.com/3JwEQnmh | 22:29 |
| geraudk2000 | acicula: yes It's Wonderful I know but it's true ! | 22:29 |
| meganerdca | soreau: the nmap output, with the -sV flag should try and identify the service and version and not rely on the port number indicating the service. You could use this to detect an ssh service listening on port 80 | 22:30 |
| Galvatron | Konnie: Try downloading this (to your home folder): http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-260.19.44-driver.html, log into terminal (Alt + F1), kill X-server (sudo service gdm stop) and sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.44 | 22:30 |
| acicula | Konnie: dont do that | 22:30 |
| soreau | meganerdca: I don't understand what the 'service' would be here or the purpose of finding this information out | 22:30 |
| acicula | Galvatron: dont ever suggest that again, thats such a bad idea | 22:30 |
| Konnie | Dear god now I am so confused. | 22:31 |
| ubuntu4shane | I need some help troubleshooting my screen, I have an ATI card, and it goes white on me and I have to wiggle things around to get it back, I dual boot with windows, and never have this issue with windows, odd for me. | 22:31 |
| acicula | Galvatron: if you must use the drivers from nvidia directly at least use the provided --deb flags to properly install packages without hosing someones system permanetly | 22:31 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: wiggle things? | 22:31 |
| ubuntu4shane | Konnie: I don't think God is in this channel. :) | 22:31 |
| meganerdca | soreau: to see if some other software had that port open, or to indicate other kinds of failures. Merely being "open" does not tell you a whole lot | 22:31 |
| geraudk2000 | acicula: after boot on both screen I can separte the both monitors, then I works normaly in my laptop screen | 22:31 |
| soreau | meganerdca: Oh.. | 22:31 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: well, I usually wiggle the laptop screen, but I'm not sure if that really fixes it. | 22:32 |
| acicula | geraudk2000: yeah i dont think there is anything wrong with your laptops drivers | 22:32 |
| soreau | meganerdca: Well I just want to connect with vncviewer to a remote (external) ip | 22:32 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: I thought it was a hardware issue (connection) before, but since it doesn't do it in windows, and frequently does this with ubuntu, I'm not sure now. | 22:32 |
| acicula | geraudk2000: nor do i understand what the problem is that you have/think you have | 22:32 |
| Konnie | acicula: So how do I use the provided -deb flags, and more importantly, what the hell are those but I can look that up. | 22:32 |
| Galvatron | acicula: I'm personally installing them as I mentioned and observed no problem | 22:32 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: When does it happen? | 22:33 |
| milamber | geraudk2000: this is standard behavior | 22:33 |
| acicula | Konnie: eh what is the problem you are trying to solve | 22:33 |
| geraudk2000 | acicula: also I don't get a Good resolution on my screen | 22:33 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: plus it can happen when nothing is being touched, well, it just started doing it again. | 22:33 |
| ayecee | i'd like setup a test to verify disk is working by writing data out, then reading it back in and comparing. How do I avoid hitting the cache on this, and maybe getting misleading results? | 22:33 |
| soreau | meganerdca: For a second, vino-preferences showed some external ip to connect to, then I restarted it and it showed the local ip only again | 22:33 |
| acicula | Galvatron: the problem is not with the installing of the drivers, but with the fact that they ignore the ubuntu package manager and break subsequent upgrades or removal attempts | 22:33 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: it blinks and flashes very sporadically. | 22:33 |

| Konnie | acicula: I installed Ubuntu within windows, so I see the dual boot screen, I chose Ubuntu, it counts down - then black screen\ | 22:36 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: see, I would agree, but it is extremely odd that it doesn't happen in windows, granted I don't boot into windows often, but recently had to, and it never did that in the fews days I used it to update, fix and clean up windows to do the one thing I booted into it to do. | 22:36 |
| [snake] | I have a ton of samples(audio) that can't be read. They are in wav format. | 22:37 |
| Galvatron | Konnie: Shpuld have started with the info it's a virtual system | 22:37 |
| [snake] | What do I do? | 22:37 |
| thevishy | what is nautilus equivalent in KDE ? | 22:37 |
| acicula | Konnie: k, ill have a looksie on google | 22:37 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Well, you really should narrow down if it's hw issue or not because identifying the actually problem is an important first step | 22:37 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: and I have had nothing but problems with the ATI drivers in this laptop since I bought it, so that is where I may tend to lean for any problem | 22:37 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: agreed. | 22:38 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: What card is it? | 22:38 |
| muelli | thevishy: konquerer I think | 22:38 |
| Galvatron | thevishyDolphin | 22:38 |
| [snake] | Isn't there a program out there that tells you what type a file is regardless of the extension? | 22:38 |
| thevishy | thanks | 22:38 |
| muelli | ah yeah. Konqueror ist the web browser. Dolphin is the file manager. | 22:38 |
| geraudk2000 | mindbeat: no when I boot on ubuntu I have a black screen | 22:38 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: ATI Radeon 3100 or HD3100 let me check | 22:38 |
| ikonia | [snake]: "file" is the command | 22:38 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: If you're using fglrx, remove it and try using the default open radeon driver | 22:38 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Also, keep an eye on the card temp.. | 22:38 |
| [snake] | ikonia, hmm... convenient :) | 22:39 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: Yes, I do that like a hawk, it used to overheat almost every time it was turned on, 100% driver related | 22:39 |
| kdub | havent heard about fglrx in a longgg time | 22:39 |
| geraudk2000 | mindbeat: acicula the screen is black but I hear the sound of booting | 22:39 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Try natty when it's released. There have been a ton of fixes in the radeon driver for the newer HD series radeons | 22:40 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: yep, I'm using fglrx, it has been a while since I tinkered around with this laptop, I installed well over 5 distros trying to find something that would work with the ati card, it was a nightmare. | 22:40 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: plan on doing that, Maverick was a big improvement over the the previous one, I was using a different distro that handled things really well, but had to come back to Ubuntu. | 22:41 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: fglrx is worse than the radeon driver, even if it's faster | 22:41 |
| [snake] | How do you read: "RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, stereo 44100 Hz" Files? | 22:41 |
| jMerliN | is it possible to have autofs use an rbind instead of a bind? | 22:41 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: that may be true, but it runs cooler, that is really the only thing that I have been concerned with for this laptop, given the overheating, I mean a 30 sec youtube video would overheat it before, sometimes, just booting it up would run it close, and opening more than one window was impossible | 22:42 |
| Scunizi | I occasionally use Tasque (remember the milk connector). Looking into why it wasn't connecting today like it normally does I found /usr/lib/tasque/Tasque.exe ... why would a linux based program have a .exe?? | 22:42 |
| Galvatron | ubuntu4shane: There's one X server for all the distros, so you should try a newer version of it, instead of changing distros. | 22:42 |
| ubuntu4shane | soreau: I hate to remove fglrx, because it overheats just installing it | 22:43 |
| acicula | Konnie: what vaio Z series do you have? | 22:43 |
| ubuntu4shane | Galvatron: I realize that to an extent, but changing/upgrading X isn't easy, Sabayon was the distro that handle things well, because it is bleeding edge. | 22:43 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Natty. | 22:43 |

| ubuntu4shane | soreau: yeah, I know, however going on 2 years too late for me. :) I learned a very important lesson, try before you buy! | 22:50 |
| Konnie | acicula: exciting, I think I can follow that. Is it the dual graphic cards that complicate things? | 22:50 |
| ubbo | hi all! I just installed Ubuntu LTS (10.4.2): fine. There's a way to install here GNOME3? | 22:51 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Or at least research before you buy.. still, the radeon driver will continue to improve as AMD has several devs hired to work full time on the linux open driver | 22:51 |
| Yaron-Heb | brb | 22:51 |
| acicula | Konnie: well that and the optimus stuff that tries to integrate the use of both gpus at the same time | 22:51 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: I think it's a good investment, though the drivers need to mature | 22:51 |
| acicula | Konnie: the quickest fix is to disable one of the gpus in the bios if thats possible | 22:51 |
| acicula | but obviously not the most desirable one | 22:52 |

| gangil | when is 11.04 coming, April is here | 22:53 |
| gangil | ? | 22:53 |
| soreau | ubuntu4shane: Use 'gksu jockey-gtk' (sys>admin>additional drivers) unless you installed from AMD site for some reason, in which case you'd need to run the uninstall script found in /usr/share/ati/ | 22:54 |

| acicula | soreau: maybe your portforwards are incorrect | 22:58 |

| neverblue | well, you are attempting to take a client and allow it to connect to a server | 23:12 |
| asadeddin_ | yeah | 23:12 |

| asadeddin_ | and i just did it for openerp | 23:15 |
| asadeddin_ | and it looks ok | 23:15 |
| asadeddin_ | mmm... i could be config issues | 23:16 |
| asadeddin_ | do u have any idea Combatjuan what it could be? | 23:17 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: A configuration error seems likely. Perhaps something like postgres wasn't setup when openerp was installed so openerp couldn't create it's database and now it's mad. | 23:17 |
| asadeddin_ | well it says it cant connect to the server | 23:18 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: Try and find the error logs for openerp. Hopefully it has a more specific error. | 23:18 |
| mandar | Hi all | 23:18 |
| mandar | I am facing some problem using Ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition... | 23:18 |
| mandar | can anyone help me? | 23:18 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: Here's another thought. I think the default postgres might not allow local connections. You should make sure that you can access it locally. "$ psql" Then "=$ SELECT NOW();" and Ctrl-D to exit. | 23:19 |
| chid | is there an easy way to blank the screen? | 23:19 |
| chid | for a laptop | 23:19 |
| itaylor57 | chid: clear | 23:19 |
| asadeddin_ | let me try | 23:19 |
| mandar | is anybody here to help me? | 23:20 |
| Combatjuan | mandar: Please state your problems. | 23:20 |
| mandar | thanks.. here it goes | 23:20 |
| chid | itaylor57: blank the display not the terminal | 23:20 |
| asadeddin_ | it says Fatal | 23:20 |
| mandar | I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Toshiba Satellite A660 | 23:20 |
| asadeddin_ | password authentication failed | 23:20 |
| mandar | when I logged into ubuntu, it is not detecting wireless LAN card | 23:21 |
| aeon-ltd | mandar: did it work before? if not then you need a module/driver for your card | 23:21 |
| mandar | Which means, it is not showing any available connections and hence, not allowing me to connect to any wireless network | 23:21 |
| anivair_ | can anyone give me a hand? For some reason my system isn't recognizing that it has a gateway set. | 23:21 |
| anivair_ | if I enter the route commend, there is nothing listed under the gateway field | 23:22 |
| anivair_ | but it's in the network setup | 23:22 |
| mandar | no.. it did not work before.. in fact, I have installed Ubuntu first time on my laptop | 23:22 |
| mandar | I guess, I need drivers for wireless network card | 23:22 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: Did it ask you for a password? Or did you specify one on the command line with "--password"? | 23:22 |
| asadeddin_ | it asked | 23:22 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: For user 'postgres'? | 23:23 |
| asadeddin_ | oh | 23:23 |
| asadeddin_ | i typed in psql | 23:23 |
| mandar | Additionally, hotkey to power on the wireless network card is not working | 23:23 |
| tacomaster | i was wondering i have tried the locate command but where is ruby installed at if you install it with apt-get? | 23:23 |
| asadeddin_ | should i go into user postgres? | 23:23 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: That's the default user. Did you create another? | 23:23 |
| mandar | I suppose, if hotkey works then I can power on the wireless network card | 23:23 |
| asadeddin_ | no | 23:23 |
| mandar | can anyone help me? | 23:23 |
| asadeddin_ | i m on it right now | 23:24 |
| asadeddin_ | then: =$ SELECT NOW(); | 23:24 |
| asadeddin_ | right? | 23:24 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: That's a simple command to test and make sure postgres is responding. Enter that in the psql prompt. | 23:24 |
| neverblue | mander, asking a question, rather than randomly asking for help, is a lot more helpful | 23:24 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: (Just the "SELECT NOW();" part) | 23:24 |
| neverblue | take that into consideration | 23:24 |
| asadeddin_ | k | 23:25 |
| asadeddin_ | yeah it's running | 23:25 |
| asadeddin_ | i got the psql version, then the help thing and then postgres=# | 23:25 |

| rance | hey gang, I need some help expanding an existing centos setup script that I use for new servers to support debian/ubuntu. In the script I need a way to reliably tell the difference between a ubuntu install and a debian one, so far all I have is the output of uname -v that has Ubuntu in the kernel version. Don't know if I can rely on that though. The existence of /etc/debian_version gets me that the distro is debian based. But I sti | 23:26 |
| rance | ll need the difference between debian and ubuntu, any ideas? | 23:26 |
| asadeddin_ | postgres | 23:26 |
| Pici | rance: See the "Ubuntu and Debian" section here: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html | 23:27 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: I thought you said that 'password authentication failed'. Did you fix that? | 23:27 |
| mandar | ubottu: any idea about that bug? | 23:27 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:27 |
| mandar | ohh... lol okay | 23:27 |
| rance | <-- reading now | 23:27 |
| asadeddin_ | no.. i made a mistake | 23:27 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: You typed the password incorrectly you mean? | 23:28 |
| asadeddin_ | i was on a different user. so i switched to postgres | 23:28 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: Ah. Ok. | 23:28 |
| asadeddin_ | so what now chief? | 23:28 |
| demonspork | Here is my setup: I have 4x 1.5TB hard drives and 3x 1TB hard drives. The plan is to use one of the 1.5TB drives as the OS drive and then configure the remaining 3 1.5TB drives in software RAID5 and the 3 1TB drives in software RAID5. So 2 software RAID5 arrays and a single OS drive is the ultimate goal. Does anyone have any alternative suggestions or recommendations while going through this process? | 23:28 |
| Cam0 | Hi all | 23:28 |
| demonspork | !hi Cam0 | 23:29 |
| demonspork | !hi | Cam0 | 23:29 |
| demonspork | !hello | Cam0 | 23:29 |
| Pici | demonspork: there is no !hi factoid. | 23:29 |
| Combatjuan | asadeddin_: You got the private message? | 23:29 |
| asadeddin_ | nope | 23:29 |
| demonspork | there used to be one that said hello to whoever you were sending it to | 23:29 |
| demonspork | it was nice | 23:29 |
| sjm | demonspork, It all depends on what you want to do with the box. | 23:30 |
| Pici | demonspork: You can say hi yourself, the factoid was just needless noise in the channel. | 23:30 |
| demonspork | sjm, fileserver that might be wired in to do media playback as well as serve files to 2 or 3 other media centers in the house. nothing extremely demanding thus the reason I don't have a dedicated RAID controller or server grade hardware | 23:31 |
| rance | Pici: That is actually good reading, but unfortunately explains my problem rather than solves it. Part of my setup script is to install packages that arent available after a stock install. Debian and Ubuntu vary on what a stock install is. So I will need separate package lists for each supported distro in my work. Hope this helps explain my need. Now is there a way to tell them apart from a console running either one? | 23:31 |
| beharbunjaku | hi! | 23:31 |
| beharbunjaku | i need help installing gnome3 on ubuntu 10.10 , can anyone help me plz !! | 23:31 |
| sjm | demonspork, I'd probably use one of the 1TB drives as the OS and the rest in one big raid10 array | 23:32 |
| demonspork | beharbunjaku, please start with the issue you are having. | 23:32 |
| Pici | rance: lsb_release -i and/or /etc/issue should differ. | 23:32 |
| chrissbx | Hi. How would you do traffic accounting, i.e. sum up the amount of traffic that went over ppp0 or similar over the course of a month? I'm actually a Debian user, but missing a solution so far I'd start looking into porting. | 23:33 |
| beharbunjaku | demonspork: how ? | 23:33 |
| anivair_ | nobody? I'm pretty confused about why my system seems to be allergic to my gateway. | 23:33 |
| Diamondcite | chrissbx: Have you looked at ntop in the paste? | 23:33 |
| demonspork | sjm, RAID10 - not familiar with that. Will it allow me to use all of the drive space (RAID5 for all of them would cut off .5TB on the 1.5 drives because N is the smallest drive) | 23:33 |
| chrissbx | Diamondcite: I need something that sums up traffic all the time, not only when I run it at the console. | 23:34 |
| Pici | chrissbx: vnstat perhaps? Heres an image output (it also provides a cli tool) for my server: http://files.nullcortex.com/images/vnstat/ | 23:34 |
| Diamondcite | chrissbx: The name ntop is deceising, it's a pretty comprehensive logger | 23:34 |
| Diamondcite | chrissbx: *deceiving | 23:35 |
| rich_ | is one familiar with "easy hosting control panel"? I seem to be having issues with domain specific aliases | 23:35 |
| chrissbx | Ok, I'll look into ntop and vnstat, thanks guys! | 23:35 |
| pp7 | how do i rip a DTS encoded CD in ubuntu? | 23:36 |
| Pici | chrissbx: vnstat is doing exactly what you asked, and its a lot more lightweight than ntop. | 23:36 |
| Pici | s/is/is for/ | 23:36 |
| chrissbx | good | 23:36 |
| sjm | demonspork, you'd set up three raid1 arrays (something like: md0=two 1.5TB drives, md1=two 1.5TB drives, md2=2 1TB drives) and then RAID0 over that (something like md3=raid0 of md0,md1,and md2) You'd have a total of 4TB, I think. | 23:36 |
| Diamondcite | Pici: vnstat sounds familiar.. does it read that information by polling the devices? | 23:36 |
| rance | Pici: TY | 23:37 |
| sjm | demonspork, but it'd be one big array without the "risk" or "disadvantages" of RAID5 (google it, if you want). | 23:37 |
| Pici | Diamondcite: It reads information out of /proc or /sys and logs it somewhere periodically | 23:37 |
| meganerd | demonspork: you may wish to check out btrfs if this is not mission critial data | 23:38 |
| Diamondcite | Pici: vnstat was nice. but least in my home, it would periodically mis-read.. (goes over by hundreds of GB) | 23:39 |
| bc81 | hi. if i boot my (xubuntu) server with no monitor plugged in, it defaults to 1024x768 resolution. how can i force it to some arbitrary resolution (i.e. 1366x768, or 1920x1080)? | 23:39 |
| oo | Hey all, i'm trying to read a cd but when i insert it it says Location is not mountable, what do i do? | 23:39 |
| Pici | Diamondcite: yikes! | 23:39 |
| meganerd | bc81: xrandr will do this | 23:39 |
| bc81 | meganerd: ok, thanks. so if i do that once it will remember, or will i need to add the command to a startup script? | 23:40 |
| BajK_ | One question: Since when does Kubuntu use KDE 4 only? 8.10? | 23:40 |
| BajK_ | so why the hell does qmake STILL symlink to qmake-QT3?? | 23:40 |
| sjm | bc81, what do you need to do it for? | 23:40 |
| maco | BajK_: yes 8.10 | 23:41 |
| IMAD | hello again ^^ | 23:41 |
| meganerd | bc81: things like screen resolution are mostly handled dynamically, so likely something that you would have to script | 23:41 |
| IMAD | I have just download Eagle USB [ drivers for my modem ] | 23:41 |
| IMAD | so how I can install it ? | 23:41 |
| meganerd | bc81: assuming that the autodetected settings were suboptimal. | 23:41 |
| BajK_ | that stupid thing cost me half an hour of trouble finding the reason for the scripts not finding qmake -.-" | 23:42 |
| pp7 | how do i rip a DTS encoded CD in ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| sjm | bc81, what do you need to do it for? | 23:42 |
| bc81 | meganerd: sounds good, i'll look into this. | 23:42 |
| maco | BajK_: if it makes you feel any better, it took me at least htat long to realise that .pyc's were the reason my changes seemed not to have any effect on the code i was working on last night | 23:42 |
| bc81 | sjm: when i vnc into the machine, 1024x768 is too small | 23:42 |
| IMAD | some one can help ? | 23:43 |
| BajK_ | maco: oh, i know that problem, so you edited the py files but the pycs were used^^ | 23:43 |
| maco | BajK_: yup. didnt realise there even WERE pyc's | 23:43 |
| sjm | bc81, ok, that makes sense, but if you are coming from another linux machine, you can use ssh with X-Forwarding | 23:43 |
| BajK_ | maco: I encountered py and pyc when scripting for Star Trek Bridge Commander :D luckily that GAME(!) had a python compiler shipped with it so it autocompiled every time you started *gg* | 23:44 |
| demonspork | sjm, I am looking for a solution that gives me maximum space + at least basic redundancy with the hardware I have. I get 5TB with the setup that I proposed. do you think any of the disadvantages of RAID5 will cause any bottlenecks in a media center computer? it will be downloading stuff periodically and have DVD disks copied to it's drives but most of its use will be reading the data. | 23:44 |
| bc81 | sjm: that sounds interesting. i'll look for a tutorial on that, thanks | 23:44 |

| BajK_ | eh, how do I report a bug in launchpad? the lik there redirects me to the wiki which say s I shall run "ubuntu-bug" and this program is so dumb, when I chose "other problem" and "other problem" it says "yeah this behavior is expected since there is no tty allocated blablabla add the -t flag" and I say ? what? I want to report a bug mamn! | 23:46 |
| * sin8h hello | 23:46 | |
| sjm | demonspork, If your priority is space, then your solution is probably the one (if it's not a problem to have the two different raid disks). IIRC, the problems with RAID5 is data integrity especially with a failed member of the RAID. | 23:46 |
| sjm | demonspork, If the data is not "critical" and you are checking on the raid health regularly, it shouldn't be a problem. | 23:46 |
| yuskhanzab | hello all, is there any option to use webcam in pidgin(yahoo)? | 23:47 |
| demonspork | sjm, so what method should I use to build the RAID5? | 23:47 |
| demonspork | yuskhanzab, as far as I am aware pidgin doesn't support any video chat | 23:48 |
| hackel | yuskhanzab: No, webcam is only supported on XMPP (Google Talk). | 23:48 |
| demonspork | that is new | 23:48 |
| demonspork | :) | 23:48 |
| sjm | demonspork, you could end up with 5.5TB if you use 1TB for OS, 4x1.5TB RAID5, and 2x1TB RAID1 | 23:48 |
| yuskhanzab | owh, thx for the info | 23:48 |
| hackel | yuskhanzab: You can use gyachi for Yahoo, there was a PPA, you can search for it. | 23:49 |
| demonspork | sjm, nice. Now which filesystem would you recommend for running on the RAID disks? | 23:49 |
| meganerd | demonspork: you could use LVM to glue several different RAID arrays together. It really depends on what you want to do | 23:49 |
| sjm | !RAID | demonspork | 23:50 |
| ubottu | demonspork: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 23:50 |
| yuskhanzab | gyachi can use webcam for yahoo? | 23:50 |
| demonspork | meganerd, yeah, I know. I plan to keep them separate because their size lines up with about their uses. the 2x1TB in RAID1 would kind of throw that off a bit | 23:50 |

| sark666 | i have to rewrite grub, but i've been behind on updating ubuntu. I think the one on my drive was 9.04. Is that pre-grub2? I believe I read in a recent guide taht grub2 has a different method for rewriting | 23:52 |
| FroztIkon | well, its giving my xbox a very bad connection. In multiplayer games, I usually have just a bar | 23:52 |

| shcherbak | FroztIkon: Up to you, how your xbox is connecting? | 23:54 |
| FroztIkon | scherbak: its wired | 23:54 |
| sjm | sark666, yes, I think if the /boot/grub/menu.lst file exists, it's prior to grub2 | 23:54 |
| sark666 | thanks | 23:54 |
