[00:50] hi all [00:50] can I "cheat" by changing sources.list to a newer release, then grab what I need and revert? [00:51] (this is debian, but should not matter much) [01:37] hey [02:02] hello [02:07] I just installed ubuntu and I have no sound at all [02:09] !sound | user_2 [02:10] !audio | user_2 [02:10] no audio playback of anything [02:10] user_2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio [02:11] user_2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound [02:12] user_2: you probably want to read this first: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [02:13] already did the last one - nothing worked [02:13] I will try the other two, thanks [02:15] user_2: ah [02:27] Is it possible for 2 separate installations of ubuntu/unix can share the same /tmp partition? [02:46] join ##slackware [02:46] oops [02:49] * andrew_46 is glad it wasn't 'join ##devil-worship'...... [02:50] MK`: yes? [02:51] Ok, thanks :) [02:51] andrew_46: eye spy a slacker [02:51] seidos: and part time Ubuntu user :) [02:52] hey, me too! [02:55] seidos: Looking forward to 13.37? [02:56] does /tmp usually store anything when ubuntu is offline? [02:56] andrew_46: yes and no [02:57] MK`: isn't /tmp going to be on non-volatile memory? [03:03] On a HDD [03:03] welcome friends! [03:04] 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] 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] so, is anyone actually here or are yu all idleing [03:08] you* [03:08] i'm here :) [03:08] or just not know, or dont want to answer [03:08] MK`: right [03:08] i dunno yet, i was afk [03:08] so, umm, any ideas? [03:10] yeah, why do you want to install truecrypt? [03:11] 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] rather then wait until i am home [03:12] should i go ask #ubuntu ? [03:12] zimm: have you read this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TruecryptHomeEncryption [03:13] 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] MK`: it is possible to use a ram disk for /tmp, so you probably could get away with sharing it [03:13] i did not read that, thank you! [03:13] I think it would be best to clear it each time, though [03:14] like i said im a bit new to linux, and am not aware where to look for help [03:14] so once again thanks for directing me [03:38] dumb question is it possible to access the regular nautilus (however that is spelled) interface in the netbook edition of ubuntu [03:40] zimm: you might try looking for a nautilus article @ http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nautilus [03:41] lol does not exist [03:41] zimm: try running it in a terminal? [03:42] package is nautilus zimm, so that would be would you would type in terminal or alt-f2 [03:43] kk [03:44] lol, no reaction to alt f2, what is the run command for terminal, sudo? [03:44] what you would type, rather [03:44] (yes im a complete noob so to speak) [03:44] try ctrl+Alt+t [03:45] you don't need a run command, though. You just type nautilus and hit enter [03:45] ahh there we go [03:45] ok thx [03:45] and ok [03:46] thank you and im sorry if im being annoying [03:46] np[ [03:46] no problem [03:46] What's the easiest way to update gnome? [03:46] we all started someplace [03:47] !flood | zimm [03:47] Well, whatever, zimm, don't use the enter bar as punctation. [03:47] Bite: I would think the standard updates, either using update-manager or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:47] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades the distro? [03:47] nope [03:48] in Ubuntu it simply runs the updates available [03:48] in debian, I believe it upgrades to the next release [03:49] What are you trying to do, exactly? Upgrade releases from one to the next, install gnome 3, update the system? [05:03] When Ubuntu is not running, is the swap partition empty? Safe to delete if you're moving partitions around? [05:10] 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] but most of the time, outside from the host, you can remove the swap [05:11] it is easily checked in a terminal [05:11] df -h [05:11] and mount [05:12] 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 === seidos is now known as |-|obbes === |-|obbes is now known as kehbo3921 [09:15] 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] Hello. [09:55] Good evening s-fox [09:55] Hai s-fox, head_victim [09:55] Hello head_victim . [09:56] Gday MrChrisDruif, seems there are people about after all [09:56] Yeah, I don't do a shout-out every time :P [09:58] I wander in and out a lot actually === yofel_ is now known as yofel === MrChrisDruif1 is now known as MrChrisDruif === MrChrisDruif1 is now known as MrChrisDruif === kehbo3921 is now known as kehbo5220-dead === kehbo5220-dead is now known as kevinif === kevinif is now known as kevin7060 === kevin6888296 is now known as buddy === buddy is now known as buddy7060 === buddy7060 is now known as buddyjr [18:03] does anyone one knows if there's a forum for os X terminals? [18:05] halpbatman: #ubuntu-powerpc [18:05] charlie-tca: is that for powerpc macs only? what about intel based? [18:06] they use the same stuff as Intel pc's [18:07] Intel based macs get support in #ubuntu, as far as I know. [18:10] os x has terminal.app and iTerm [18:10] iTerm is better [18:16] bioterror: yeah i'm ssh'ed to my Mac at home right now I wanna know how to change stuff [18:16] charlie-tca: thank you [18:16] you were talking about terminals :D [18:17] bioterror: yeah like how to set system pref. from terminal [19:06] charlie-tca, what was the channel again sry [19:07] halpbatman: #ubuntu-powerpc === TheDaniel0108 is now known as Daniel0108 [19:08] charlie-tca, thx [19:08] You are welcome === kevin7060 is now known as seidos [19:24] 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] Not to my knowledge [19:25] Mine take something like 4mb no matter what the remote disk is [19:26] okay cool thx charlie-tca [19:27] I'm away from home and i wanted to access my music via sshfs [19:27] I access a 4gb partition using sshfs, but it still only takes 4mb [19:28] I think that 4mb is standard for any directory created in xubuntu, though [19:28] charlie-tca, so it probably just maps it on your local drive [19:28] yes [19:28] charlie-tca, sweet it worked thx [19:29] no problem [19:29] another question.. sry [19:29] on my mac at home i have ssh service enabled [19:29] can i turn on vnc through ssh? [19:31] I don't know the answer to that. [19:32] I don't use vnc. [19:33] k thx [19:47] hello looking for help w DNS bind [20:27] whats the command to install w32codecs in my ubuntu 10.10 === seidos is now known as saytwo === saytwo is now known as kevin4896 [20:55] what does recovery mode mean [20:55] hello [21:34] hello [21:35] duhza: hey [21:35] what does recover from broken system [21:39] 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] ok [21:40] i mean rescue a broken system [21:42] 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] should i do that [21:45] I would recommend that, it only takes about 20 minutes to have a clean install again [21:46] what do you mean by 'broken system' though? [22:19] how do you transfer files from local machine to target ssh machine? [22:20] scp localfile ip:/directory_on_target [22:21] for one file [22:21] for more than one, use [22:21] scp -r localfile ip:/directory_on_target [22:21] thx [22:22] sometimes is works better to use a name, too, like [22:22] scp -r localfile charlie@ip:/directory_on_target [22:24] do you type that after you ssh in the terminal? [22:25] nope [22:25] instead of ssh [22:26] how do i change target port? [22:28] got it it's -P [23:02] :q [23:03] .. whoops lol, vim commands don't work here :) [23:42] hey guys my logitech mic keeps freezes my computer or it take my sound away from my speakers
