| kristian-aalborg | can I "cheat" by changing sources.list to a newer release, then grab what I need and revert? | 00:50 |
| kristian-aalborg | (this is debian, but should not matter much) | 00:51 |
| coz_ | hey | 01:37 |

| seidos | !sound | user_2 | 02:09 |
| seidos | !audio | user_2 | 02:10 |

| seidos | user_2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio | 02:10 |
| seidos | user_2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound | 02:11 |
| seidos | user_2: you probably want to read this first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 02:12 |
| user_2 | already did the last one - nothing worked | 02:13 |
| user_2 | I will try the other two, thanks | 02:13 |
| seidos | user_2: ah | 02:15 |
| MK` | Is it possible for 2 separate installations of ubuntu/unix can share the same /tmp partition? | 02:27 |
| andrew_46 | join ##slackware | 02:46 |
| andrew_46 | oops | 02:46 |
| * andrew_46 is glad it wasn't 'join ##devil-worship'...... | 02:49 | |
| seidos | MK`: yes? | 02:50 |
| MK` | Ok, thanks :) | 02:51 |

| seidos | hey, me too! | 02:52 |
| andrew_46 | seidos: Looking forward to 13.37? | 02:55 |
| MK` | does /tmp usually store anything when ubuntu is offline? | 02:56 |
| seidos | andrew_46: yes and no | 02:56 |
| seidos | MK`: isn't /tmp going to be on non-volatile memory? | 02:57 |
| MK` | On a HDD | 03:03 |
| seidos | welcome friends! | 03:03 |
| zimm | erm hi i guess this is where i ask questions, so i recently installed ubuntu netbook on my netbook and i was wondering how i would go about installing true crypt, i went to the wbsite, and went to download the linux compatable version, and got a tar.gz which according to the site contains an executable file of some sort but i have been unable to run it | 03:04 |
| zimm | i was under the imprssion that in any GNU/linux based system .bin was ussualy the extension for an executable , but i may be wrong | 03:05 |
| zimm | so, is anyone actually here or are yu all idleing | 03:07 |
| zimm | you* | 03:08 |
| seidos | i'm here :) | 03:08 |
| zimm | or just not know, or dont want to answer | 03:08 |
| seidos | MK`: right | 03:08 |
| seidos | i dunno yet, i was afk | 03:08 |
| zimm | so, umm, any ideas? | 03:08 |
| seidos | yeah, why do you want to install truecrypt? | 03:10 |
| zimm | lol, i keep various things encrypted, and would like to be able to encrypt more of my work on my netbook as i move around | 03:11 |
| zimm | rather then wait until i am home | 03:11 |
| zimm | should i go ask #ubuntu ? | 03:12 |
| seidos | zimm: have you read this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TruecryptHomeEncryption | 03:12 |
| seidos | zimm: i dunno, if you want to get it done, then i would do everything possible to accomplish it | 03:13 |
| * andrew_46 is idling :) | 03:13 | |
| charlie-tca | MK`: it is possible to use a ram disk for /tmp, so you probably could get away with sharing it | 03:13 |
| zimm | i did not read that, thank you! | 03:13 |
| charlie-tca | I think it would be best to clear it each time, though | 03:13 |
| zimm | like i said im a bit new to linux, and am not aware where to look for help | 03:14 |
| zimm | so once again thanks for directing me | 03:14 |
| zimm | dumb question is it possible to access the regular nautilus (however that is spelled) interface in the netbook edition of ubuntu | 03:38 |
| seidos | zimm: you might try looking for a nautilus article @ http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nautilus | 03:40 |
| zimm | lol does not exist | 03:41 |
| charlie-tca | zimm: try running it in a terminal? | 03:41 |
| seidos | package is nautilus zimm, so that would be would you would type in terminal or alt-f2 | 03:42 |
| zimm | kk | 03:43 |
| zimm | lol, no reaction to alt f2, what is the run command for terminal, sudo? | 03:44 |
| seidos | what you would type, rather | 03:44 |
| zimm | (yes im a complete noob so to speak) | 03:44 |
| charlie-tca | try ctrl+Alt+t | 03:44 |
| charlie-tca | you don't need a run command, though. You just type nautilus and hit enter | 03:45 |
| zimm | ahh there we go | 03:45 |
| zimm | ok thx | 03:45 |
| zimm | and ok | 03:45 |
| zimm | thank you and im sorry if im being annoying | 03:46 |
| charlie-tca | np[ | 03:46 |
| charlie-tca | no problem | 03:46 |
| Bite | What's the easiest way to update gnome? | 03:46 |
| charlie-tca | we all started someplace | 03:46 |
| Bite | !flood | zimm | 03:47 |
| Bite | Well, whatever, zimm, don't use the enter bar as punctation. | 03:47 |
| charlie-tca | Bite: I would think the standard updates, either using update-manager or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 03:47 |
| Bite | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades the distro? | 03:47 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 03:47 |
| charlie-tca | in Ubuntu it simply runs the updates available | 03:48 |
| charlie-tca | in debian, I believe it upgrades to the next release | 03:48 |
| charlie-tca | What are you trying to do, exactly? Upgrade releases from one to the next, install gnome 3, update the system? | 03:49 |
| MK` | When Ubuntu is not running, is the swap partition empty? Safe to delete if you're moving partitions around? | 05:03 |
| UndiFineD | MK`, it depends, if the host system is not running, but you are on a life cd, you may be using the swap as well | 05:10 |
| UndiFineD | but most of the time, outside from the host, you can remove the swap | 05:10 |
| UndiFineD | it is easily checked in a terminal | 05:11 |
| UndiFineD | df -h | 05:11 |
| UndiFineD | and mount | 05:11 |
| MK` | well I just wanted to move the swap, but thought it would be faster to just delete the swap and re-create it in the new space | 05:12 |

| halpbatman | does anyone one knows if there's a forum for os X terminals? | 18:03 |
| charlie-tca | halpbatman: #ubuntu-powerpc | 18:05 |
| halpbatman | charlie-tca: is that for powerpc macs only? what about intel based? | 18:05 |
| charlie-tca | they use the same stuff as Intel pc's | 18:06 |
| charlie-tca | Intel based macs get support in #ubuntu, as far as I know. | 18:07 |
| bioterror | os x has terminal.app and iTerm | 18:10 |
| bioterror | iTerm is better | 18:10 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: yeah i'm ssh'ed to my Mac at home right now I wanna know how to change stuff | 18:16 |
| halpbatman | charlie-tca: thank you | 18:16 |
| bioterror | you were talking about terminals :D | 18:16 |
| halpbatman | bioterror: yeah like how to set system pref. from terminal | 18:17 |
| halpbatman | charlie-tca, what was the channel again sry | 19:06 |

| halpbatman | when you mount a remote drive to a local machine over sshfs... does the local machine need = or greater disk space than the remote disk? | 19:24 |
| charlie-tca | Not to my knowledge | 19:25 |
| charlie-tca | Mine take something like 4mb no matter what the remote disk is | 19:25 |
| halpbatman | okay cool thx charlie-tca | 19:26 |
| halpbatman | I'm away from home and i wanted to access my music via sshfs | 19:27 |
| charlie-tca | I access a 4gb partition using sshfs, but it still only takes 4mb | 19:27 |
| charlie-tca | I think that 4mb is standard for any directory created in xubuntu, though | 19:28 |
| halpbatman | charlie-tca, so it probably just maps it on your local drive | 19:28 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 19:28 |
| halpbatman | charlie-tca, sweet it worked thx | 19:28 |
| charlie-tca | no problem | 19:29 |
| halpbatman | another question.. sry | 19:29 |
| halpbatman | on my mac at home i have ssh service enabled | 19:29 |
| halpbatman | can i turn on vnc through ssh? | 19:29 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know the answer to that. | 19:31 |
| charlie-tca | I don't use vnc. | 19:32 |
| halpbatman | k thx | 19:33 |

| duhza | what does recovery mode mean | 20:55 |
| duhza | hello | 20:55 |
| duhza | hello | 21:34 |
| msp301 | duhza: hey | 21:35 |
| duhza | what does recover from broken system | 21:35 |
| msp301 | duhza: I have not used recovery mode myself, but you can boot into rescue/recovery mode by following the steps at http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/system_administration_books/ubuntu_starter_guide/ch08.html#gainrootinstallcd (look at point 8.3) .. hope that helps | 21:39 |
| duhza | ok | 21:39 |
| duhza | i mean rescue a broken system | 21:40 |
| msp301 | whenever I end up in that situation, I generally find it easier to backup all my files using a live CD and then just reinstall the system | 21:42 |
| duhza | should i do that | 21:43 |
| msp301 | I would recommend that, it only takes about 20 minutes to have a clean install again | 21:45 |
| msp301 | what do you mean by 'broken system' though? | 21:46 |
| halpbatman | how do you transfer files from local machine to target ssh machine? | 22:19 |
| charlie-tca | scp localfile ip:/directory_on_target | 22:20 |
| charlie-tca | for one file | 22:21 |
| charlie-tca | for more than one, use | 22:21 |
| charlie-tca | scp -r localfile ip:/directory_on_target | 22:21 |
| halpbatman | thx | 22:21 |
| charlie-tca | sometimes is works better to use a name, too, like | 22:22 |
| charlie-tca | scp -r localfile charlie@ip:/directory_on_target | 22:22 |
| halpbatman | do you type that after you ssh in the terminal? | 22:24 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 22:25 |
| charlie-tca | instead of ssh | 22:25 |
| halpbatman | how do i change target port? | 22:26 |
| halpbatman | got it it's -P | 22:28 |
| msp301 | :q | 23:02 |
