[00:50] <kristian-aalborg> hi all
[00:50] <kristian-aalborg> can I "cheat" by changing sources.list to a newer release, then grab what I need and revert?
[00:51] <kristian-aalborg> (this is debian, but should not matter much)
[01:37] <coz_>  hey
[02:02] <user_2> hello
[02:07] <user_2> I just installed ubuntu and I have no sound at all
[02:09] <seidos> !sound | user_2
[02:10] <seidos> !audio | user_2
[02:10] <user_2> no audio playback of anything
[02:10] <seidos> user_2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio
[02:11] <seidos> user_2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound
[02:12] <seidos> user_2: you probably want to read this first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[02:13] <user_2> already did the last one - nothing worked
[02:13] <user_2> I will try the other two, thanks
[02:15] <seidos> user_2: ah
[02:27] <MK`> Is it possible for 2 separate installations of ubuntu/unix can share the same /tmp partition?
[02:46] <andrew_46> join ##slackware
[02:46] <andrew_46> oops
[02:49]  * andrew_46 is glad it wasn't 'join ##devil-worship'......
[02:50] <seidos> MK`: yes?
[02:51] <MK`> Ok, thanks :)
[02:51] <seidos> andrew_46: eye spy a slacker
[02:51] <andrew_46> seidos: and part time Ubuntu user :)
[02:52] <seidos> hey, me too!
[02:55] <andrew_46> seidos: Looking forward to 13.37?
[02:56] <MK`> does /tmp usually store anything when ubuntu is offline?
[02:56] <seidos> andrew_46: yes and no
[02:57] <seidos> MK`: isn't /tmp going to be on non-volatile memory?
[03:03] <MK`> On a HDD
[03:03] <seidos> welcome friends!
[03:04] <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
[03:05] <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
[03:07] <zimm> so, is anyone actually here or are yu all idleing
[03:08] <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?
[03:10] <seidos> yeah, why do you want to install truecrypt?
[03:11] <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
[03:12] <zimm> should i go ask #ubuntu ?
[03:12] <seidos> zimm: have you read this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TruecryptHomeEncryption
[03:13] <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
[03:14] <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
[03:38] <zimm> dumb question is it possible to access the regular nautilus (however that is spelled) interface in the netbook edition of ubuntu
[03:40] <seidos> zimm: you might try looking for a nautilus article @ http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nautilus
[03:41] <zimm> lol does not exist
[03:41] <charlie-tca> zimm: try running it in a terminal?
[03:42] <seidos> package is nautilus zimm, so that would be would you would type in terminal or alt-f2
[03:43] <zimm> kk
[03:44] <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
[03:45] <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
[03:46] <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
[03:47] <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
[03:48] <charlie-tca> in Ubuntu it simply runs the updates available
[03:48] <charlie-tca> in debian, I believe it upgrades to the next release
[03:49] <charlie-tca> What are you trying to do, exactly? Upgrade releases from one to the next, install gnome 3, update the system?
[05:03] <MK`> When Ubuntu is not running, is the swap partition empty? Safe to delete if you're moving partitions around?
[05:10] <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
[05:11] <UndiFineD> it is easily checked in a terminal
[05:11] <UndiFineD> df -h
[05:11] <UndiFineD> and mount
[05:12] <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
[09:15] <maheanuu> IaOrana Ia Oe, hello to all, I just lost all sound on a Toshiba Laptop running 10.10, I installed the latest Skype 64 version just a couple of days ago and all was working fine till tonight now, after going to skype I have no sound anywhere on anything
[09:52] <s-fox> Hello.
[09:55] <head_victim> Good evening s-fox
[09:55] <MrChrisDruif> Hai s-fox, head_victim
[09:55] <s-fox> Hello head_victim .
[09:56] <head_victim> Gday MrChrisDruif, seems there are people about after all
[09:56] <MrChrisDruif> Yeah, I don't do a shout-out every time :P
[09:58] <head_victim> I wander in and out a lot actually
[18:03] <halpbatman> does anyone one knows if there's a forum for os X terminals?
[18:05] <charlie-tca> halpbatman: #ubuntu-powerpc
[18:05] <halpbatman> charlie-tca: is that for powerpc macs only? what about intel based?
[18:06] <charlie-tca> they use the same stuff as Intel pc's
[18:07] <charlie-tca> Intel based macs get support in #ubuntu, as far as I know.
[18:10] <bioterror> os x has terminal.app and iTerm
[18:10] <bioterror> iTerm is better
[18:16] <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
[18:17] <halpbatman> bioterror: yeah like how to set system pref. from terminal
[19:06] <halpbatman> charlie-tca, what was the channel again sry
[19:07] <charlie-tca> halpbatman: #ubuntu-powerpc
[19:08] <halpbatman> charlie-tca, thx
[19:08] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[19:24] <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?
[19:25] <charlie-tca> Not to my knowledge
[19:25] <charlie-tca> Mine take something like 4mb no matter what the remote disk is
[19:26] <halpbatman> okay cool thx charlie-tca
[19:27] <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
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <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?
[19:31] <charlie-tca> I don't know the answer to that.
[19:32] <charlie-tca> I don't use vnc.
[19:33] <halpbatman> k thx
[19:47] <nicolai> hello looking for help w DNS bind
[20:27] <bipul> whats the command to install w32codecs in my ubuntu 10.10
[20:55] <duhza> what does recovery mode mean
[20:55] <duhza> hello
[21:34] <duhza> hello
[21:35] <msp301> duhza: hey
[21:35] <duhza> what does recover from broken system
[21:39] <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
[21:40] <duhza> i mean rescue a broken system
[21:42] <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
[21:43] <duhza> should i do that
[21:45] <msp301> I would recommend that, it only takes about 20 minutes to have a clean install again
[21:46] <msp301> what do you mean by 'broken system' though?
[22:19] <halpbatman> how do you transfer files from local machine to target ssh machine?
[22:20] <charlie-tca> scp localfile ip:/directory_on_target
[22:21] <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
[22:22] <charlie-tca> sometimes is works better to use a name, too, like
[22:22] <charlie-tca> scp -r localfile charlie@ip:/directory_on_target
[22:24] <halpbatman> do you type that after you ssh in the terminal?
[22:25] <charlie-tca> nope
[22:25] <charlie-tca> instead of ssh
[22:26] <halpbatman> how do i change target port?
[22:28] <halpbatman> got it it's -P
[23:02] <msp301> :q
[23:03] <msp301> .. whoops lol, vim commands don't work here :)
[23:42] <Ranga> hey guys my logitech mic keeps freezes my computer or it take my sound away from my speakers
