| milenko | worn out topic inc "Using ubuntu as a server" go go | 00:13 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: i copied 7 files on the stick today | 00:13 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: each file was 11 GB big | 00:13 |
| lolmatic | what can i do when synaptic hangs while unpacking apps? | 00:13 |
| piero | I solved my problem with cracking sound after I set up "Linux" as "Operating System" in my laptop bios :\ | 00:13 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: Fat32 cannot work with so large files | 00:13 |
| piero | I have no idea what it should change behind the hood | 00:14 |
| edbian | laptop_user: What is your issue? | 00:14 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: therefore, i couldnt read the stick an the laptop | 00:14 |
| edbian | laptop_user: I'll be back in a moment to read / help | 00:14 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: i formatted the stick again | 00:14 |
| laptop_user | edbain, this is what happened, everything was fine and dandy this a.m. i shut the laptop down so that i could pack it for school. got to school, and ubuntu wouldnt boot up. for some reason, it hangs at plymouth. the last installations include cheese and skype. nvidia graphic, with propriatary drivers.. and the script to fix plymouth | 00:15 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: and copied severel files which are smaller than 4GB | 00:15 |
| Superstar | Who has mouse acceleration turned off in Ubuntu? | 00:15 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: now it work again | 00:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | kelbek, formatted from ubuntu? as fat32 again? Well, that's good! | 00:15 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: unfornutelly, i can just formatt as FAT32 | 00:16 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: neither ntfs nor ext3/4 doesnt work | 00:16 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: why?????? i can not explain this | 00:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | kelbek, and is that a problem for you? Are you trying to format it from ubuntu? | 00:17 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: yes, with gparted | 00:17 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: i have severel data which are bigger as 4 GB | 00:17 |
| Xylch | cybrhuman: Just for reference, I just found a way to make it work using Compiz. I have the Npviewer.bin class forced onto my main monitor, and I use the Zoom functionality in compiz to get it truly fullscreen. (No need to download video) | 00:17 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: i would copy this files on the stick too | 00:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | kelbek, what kind of error does it give you when you try to use ext3 | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Xylch: instead, you can use 64bit flash and you won't need the 64bit wrapper for the 32bit flash | 00:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | kelbek, it's not the best solution, but in a pinch you could rar (with no compression) and split it into multiple files | 00:18 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: gparted shows red bang | 00:18 |
| Xylch | ActionParsnip: Can you explain that, I don't quite understand how the version of Flash matters. | 00:19 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: jeah, i think, this is the best solution the files with 7z to split | 00:19 |
| meganerd | kelbek: try ext2 if it is a flash drive | 00:20 |
| Seven_Six_Two | kelbek, do you get the same error in gparted with another usb key? It may be that that one is dying. | 00:20 |
| meganerd | kelbek: I am also a big fan of 7zip, you could also use it to split data into multiple variables | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Xylch: you are using npviewer which is a 64bit wrapper so you can use 32bit plugins. If you use 64bit flash then you will get a much better flash experience as it will just be flash on its own | 00:20 |
| edbian | laptop_user: When you boot press shift to get the grub menu to show up. Have you ever done this before? | 00:20 |
| laptop_user | edbain, i have tried to edit bootcommand to nosplash noquiet nomodeset= whatever it is set to.. there are no errors during bootcommand. also, to clarify, the nvidia drivers and plymouth script were not part of recent installation. just mentioned b/c i know they can be problematic | 00:21 |
| macin | hello, i own a intrepid box, how i upgrate into lucid? i dont want to reinstall, thanks | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | !eol | macin | 00:22 |
| ubottu | macin: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 00:22 |
| laptop_user | edbain: grub shows up fine. i have used 'e' to make changes to bootcommand and Ctrl + x to disable splashscreen | 00:22 |
| milenko | ok i been runing round and round with this issue about SADMS when i try to join it to the domain it returns a error code 7 with no other real details to the error... but when i do it manualy net ads join -U Administrator it works and adds it to the domain (except the dns record) any thoughts? | 00:22 |
| Xylch | ActionParsnip: Flash is being displayed using the chrome flash plugin, but your saying that if I upgrade my actual flash on my system to 64 bit it will make the plugin act native instead of using a wrapper? | 00:22 |
| edbian | laptop_user: don't do 'nosplash' and 'noquite' simply erase the words splash and quite. You should get way more output hopefully containing informative errors. Try that. (you're spelling my name wrong) | 00:23 |
| kelbek | meganerd: jeah, i will/have to so :-) | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Xylch: exactly | 00:24 |
| tensorpudding | macin: why not reinstall? | 00:24 |
| laptop_user | edbain: ok i will have to reboot, into ubuntu, make those chages and look for errors. as of now the it is set for quiet splash nomodeset=whatever its set for | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Xylch: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/12/64bit-flash-ppa/ | 00:24 |
| laptop_user | edbain: so just remove quiet splash altogether and leave the nomodeset alone, correct? | 00:25 |
| hiexpo | i can not find anything in any relationship to setting up so i can send email through my terminal > searched google for over an hour > complete waste of time | 00:25 |
| edbian | laptop_user: Do you get what I'm saying? delete 'quiet' and 'slash' completely. nomodeset is not set equal to anything. It is simply 'nomodeset' | 00:25 |
| kelbek | Seven_Six_Two: thx anyway for your help | 00:26 |
| edbian | laptop_user: nomodset is not equal to anything. (you're still spelling my name wrong) | 00:26 |
| tensorpudding | macin: there are ways to back up your package selections, configuration files, and of course your user home directories, and installing all your packages over again would be much faster than upgrading them multiple times | 00:26 |
| kelbek | meganerd: thx anyway for your help | 00:26 |

| shaneomack91 | BrainVirus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/592899/ will put them in a folder called edited, you have to create it first. | 01:25 |

| laptop_user | edbian, then it said error starting packages, bailing out | 01:28 |
| shaneomack91 | BrainVirus Yes. You make the splice.sh file and a subfolder called edited in the same folder as your .xml files. It will splice the text you add on the command line to all the XML files and put them in the folder called edited, leaving the originals alone. | 01:28 |

| Ben64 | bassgoon: and just the fat32 is messing up? | 01:31 |
| bassgoon | Ben64, no, the phone can't see any of it | 01:31 |
| Ben64 | could the phone normally see ext3? | 01:31 |
| laptop_user | edbian: im on the destop now | 01:32 |
| bassgoon | Ben64, yes, it could see all the partitions | 01:32 |
| edbian | laptop_user: live cd? | 01:32 |
| laptop_user | edbian: rebooting laptop into ubuntu so i can see the error and type it to u | 01:32 |
| Ben64 | bassgoon: well you can probably fix it with fsck | 01:32 |
| bassgoon | hmm | 01:32 |
| bassgoon | Ben64, i'm fine with repartitioning it | 01:33 |
| edbian | laptop_user: yeah. there were no errors besides that vague gdm stuff? | 01:33 |
| lolmatic | hi | 01:33 |
| laptop_user | none that says error | 01:33 |
| Ben64 | bassgoon: but now i'm interested... whats the advantage of ext3 and swap on a sd card in a droid? my sd is fat32 | 01:33 |
| edbian | laptop_user: mmmm, I'm not sure. | 01:33 |
| lolmatic | i installed some programs and now my sound is gone (no device in sound menu) | 01:33 |
| lolmatic | what can i do? :( | 01:33 |
| bassgoon | Ben64, well I'm too in to fiddling, but I have it set up using a tool to run apps from the ext3 partition off the sdcard | 01:34 |
| bassgoon | since i have a large/fast sd card | 01:34 |
| Ben64 | bassgoon: nice.. well you can use parted or gparted to repartition in ubuntu, but all info would be lost | 01:34 |
| bassgoon | I'm assuming all is lot anyway | 01:34 |
| lolmatic | i got intel sound hardware | 01:34 |

| Raikia_ | Hey. Is it possible to tunnel traffic through SSH by default (proxy settings), but fall back to "direct connection" if the tunnel doesnt exist? | 01:34 |
| === Kick is now known as Kicked | ||
| Ben64 | bassgoon: its likely just a little error and totally recoverable | 01:35 |
| Raikia_ | I got the tunnel working, but I want to be able to have it fallback to "direct connect" if no connection can be made to the tunnel (proxy socks host = 127.0.0.1) | 01:35 |

| bassgoon | Ben64, well I do have access to fsck on the phone | 01:36 |
| edbian | laptop_user: It should switch to graphics. If it doesn't you can switch back using ctrl + alt + F1 | 01:36 |
| semitones | !wifi > Kicked | 01:36 |
| bassgoon | i just can't figure out the device name | 01:36 |

| Kicked | better question, my networking on my laptop shows "Networking disabled" when I put my mouse over the icon. However the server sudo service networking is running and sitll remains down after restart/reboot of the machine | 01:39 |
| laptop_user | edbian: just rebooted and now doing ctrl + alt+ F7..... doing same as initial problem | 01:40 |
| Raikia_ | roukoun, I know. I decided to do that. Now I need to know how to set the gnome network manager to a certain proxy setting via cli | 01:40 |
| edbian | laptop_user: I'm not sure what the issue is. what does dmesg say? | 01:40 |
| Raikia_ | I see "gnome-network-properties", but I cant find any documentation on using it in CLI (with arguments) | 01:40 |
| edbian | laptop_user: any errors there? | 01:40 |
| laptop_user | edbian: just stuck at splash | 01:40 |

| roukoun | Raikia_ : if you want to tunnel your proxy connection through ssh i dont think you can do it using the gnome-network-manager | 01:42 |
| bassgoon | Ben64, maybe it doesn't..haha | 01:42 |

| laptop_user | edbian: one question though | 01:42 |
| Superstar | I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop version but the swap size is small, how do I resize this? | 01:43 |
| Raikia_ | roukoun: I have it currently working if I set the "SOCKS" property in the gnome network manager to 127.0.0.1, which makes sense to why it works. I just need to know how to set that via command line so I can put that in my script | 01:43 |
| laptop_user | edbian: i have a 15GB partition in NTFS for ubuntu. what should i set the installation size in wubi? | 01:43 |
| coz_ | SuperLag, how much onboard memory? | 01:43 |
| semitones | !gparted | SuperLag run it from a live cd | 01:44 |
| ubottu | SuperLag run it from a live cd: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 01:44 |

| laptop_user | will someone please answer "i have a 15GB partition in NTFS for ubuntu. what should i set the installation size in wubi?" i missed the chance to ask edbian | 01:44 |
| Kicked | anyone know why when i click the network icon on my laptop it says NetworkManager not running :P or how I can make it running | 01:44 |
| coz_ | Superstar, how much onboard memory? | 01:44 |
| Superstar | coz_ 2gb | 01:45 |
| Superstar | I'm just reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 01:45 |
| coz_ | Superstar, what type of work do you generally do on the system? | 01:46 |
| semitones | !networkmanager | Kicked | 01:46 |
| ubottu | Kicked: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 01:46 |
| coz_ | Superstar, and how much swap is reported? | 01:46 |
| GatunoRox | hello | 01:46 |

| Superstar | coz_ I develop websites, create and editing photos (nothing hardcore). I don't know how to view this in Ubuntu but I used Hirens Boot CD which reported 1.4GB | 01:48 |
| Superstar | coz_ is there a friendly interface for creating/managing partitions? | 01:49 |
| Thrawnma | I've got a dilemma I could use some help with, it's just a very simple question, but I'm uncertain if I should install the 10.10 Netbook Ubuntu on my Gateway laptop or the the Desktop OS. The main problem I have is determining if the i386 Ubuntu will work properly because I have an AMD processor on my laptop, and I haven't seen a Netbook AMD Ubuntu. If I am completely misunderstanding the meaning of the i386 and amd64 terminologies, | 01:49 |
| coz_ | Superstar, gparted perhaps... | 01:49 |
| semitones | Superstar, gparted | 01:49 |
| semitones | run it from the ubuntu live cd | 01:49 |
| semitones | SuperLag, generally you only need as much swap as physical memory though | 01:50 |
| Superstar | coz_ semitones: thanks loves | 01:50 |
| Superstar | coz_ semitones: thanks loves | 01:50 |
| coz_ | Superstar, I also do image editing and if it is bitmap based it can take quite a bit of memory + swap... svg not so much | 01:50 |
| coz_ | Superstar, especially if the files are above 128 megs | 01:50 |
| GatunoRox | I want to partition a external usb HDD so I can use syslinux to boot live cd images directly so I can test distros and use a Full install in an ext2 partition, where a full ubuntu installation would sit | 01:50 |
| rww | Thrawnma: You are misunderstanding. It's confusing though, so that's not surprising :(. Which AMD processor do you have? | 01:51 |
| Axlin | Thrawnma: i386 means it's the 32 bit version. you can run it on either an AMD or intel processor | 01:51 |
| Superstar | coz_ I know what you mean but I have mac for the hardcore stuff | 01:51 |
| GatunoRox | Having a large fat32 partition, for data storage/live cds and use grub4DOS to boot ubuntu | 01:51 |
| Thrawnma | Mobile AMD Athlon 64 | 01:51 |
| Thrawnma | And I was wondering if that wasn't the case, but the amd was throwing me off | 01:52 |
| rww | Thrawnma: Athlon 64 should work with either of i686 or amd64. | 01:52 |
| coz_ | Superstar, mm then if you are not using the pc for the hardcore stuff I am guessing that 1gig+ you have s hould be adequate | 01:52 |
| Cisman_ | Hola, alguien por favor digame una pagina para descargarme el ubuntu mas reciente o el que me recomienden q bueno para principiantes. | 01:52 |
| Kicked | semitones, well i've read through most of it and the thing is the wifi was working just fine then I updated and it broke :( I'm not seeing how to get it going again :( | 01:52 |
| GatunoRox | I don't want to chainload Grub from Grub4DOS | 01:52 |
| rww | Thrawnma: Less confusing names for the two options might be "x86" and "x86-64". | 01:52 |
| rww | Thrawnma: (32-bit and 64-bit respectively) | 01:52 |
| semitones | Kicked, have you tried restarting network manager? | 01:53 |
| rww | !es | Cisman_ | 01:53 |
| ubottu | Cisman_: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 01:53 |
| Kicked | semitones, yes, it'll restart fine but still says it's not running | 01:53 |
| Cisman_ | gracias! | 01:53 |
| Kicked | semitones, and it restarts no fine sudo service network-manager restart | 01:53 |
| Thrawnma | Right, I knew x86 was associated with the 32bit software since I updated my desktop to Windows 7 and have a completely separate Program Files for my old software now. I appreciate the clarification guys, thanks much. I'm looking forward to Ubuntu on my laptop again since I always enjoyed how much more efficiently it used resources. Thanks again | 01:54 |
| rww | Logan_: did your factoid requests get sorted out? I disconnected and my scrollback is a mess | 01:54 |
| semitones | Kicked, definitely sounds like a regression -- maybe you could check launchpad to see if anyone's reported it as a bug and worked out a solution | 01:55 |

| enotodden | KINGOFWORDS, this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot | 02:10 |

| Bite | milamber: i'm having issues logging in :V looks like i either have to input it manually or get rid of XServer. | 02:18 |
| enotodden | stu, Doesn't look like it works with all mouses. tried with my HP mouse now, and that doesn't work for some reason.. Maybe the reason my main mouse(logitech) works for this is a side effect of my confs. Sorry. | 02:18 |

| pfifo | Bite, in that case you want X all by itself, but it its really ugly, is gnome is too bulky for you try xubuntu | 02:34 |

| Bite | rww: will that install strictly the desktop? i just want normal gnome, but none of the programs. | 02:34 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | is wine the best windows emulator..and is it ok to install b4 partition dual boot 4 windows? | 02:35 |
| semitones | Bite, are you doing the minimal install? | 02:35 |
| rww | Bite: gnome-core is the smallest GNOME metapackage on Ubuntu I know of. If you don't like that, you probably won't like anything. | 02:35 |
| Bite | Okay: the desired end is that i want to be capable of installing JUST the GNOME window manager & related programs. | 02:35 |
| semitones | KINGOFSWORDS, wine stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator" | 02:35 |
| hardisk | semitones, Tnk's for information. I will search mor about this. | 02:35 |
| red2kic | Bite: rww is correct. gnome-core is what you want, a minimal gnome -- A basic gnome environment without any of ubuntu's added packages. | 02:35 |
| rww | Bite: sudo apt-get install metacity. Enjoy the rather broken result. | 02:35 |
| luisarroyo | please? | 02:35 |
| semitones | KINGOFSWORDS, there are better ways of playing games on linux, but they are not free | 02:35 |
| pfifo | Bite, X takes care of windows, and gnome takes care of how they look, if gnome is to slow//big//ugly, then there are atleast a dozen othes yyou can try | 02:36 |
| Bite | red2kic: rww: That's exactly what i want. gnome-core, that is. rww: What's metacity? | 02:36 |
| rww | Bite: GNOME's window manager. | 02:36 |
| semitones | KINGOFSWORDS, however, if you compare their price with actually buying windows, it may be worth it | 02:36 |
| Bite | XServer handles windows, gnome handles appearance, and metacity is basically the window manager in gnome? | 02:36 |
| red2kic | Bite: Window manager. I think you meant nautilus, a file manager. | 02:36 |

| Bite | pfifo: then i'll know not to install them. But say i want an easy-to-remove gnome desktop. That's what i want from gnome-core. So i can quickly uninstall and reinstall if needed. | 03:05 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i didnt c it..best not to look | 03:05 |
| bonhoffer | is there a good scanning app in ubuntu | 03:05 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | bonhoffer try cairo dock, pretty cool too | 03:05 |
| bonhoffer | i am trying to use my fujitsu s1500m | 03:05 |
| Bite | pfifo: does gnome core tdo that? | 03:06 |
| pfifo | Bite, I am still not seeing why. Try this, re partition have 3 partitions, one for xubuntu, one for kunbuntu and one ffor ubuntu | 03:06 |
| mjn | no one has feedback on Mint? | 03:07 |
| Bite | pfifo: i guess that's the best bet. But then i dont know how to install the different desktops on the partitions. Through boot disk would be more or less the only way, right? | 03:07 |
| opera | hello everyone | 03:07 |
| bonhoffer | on the ubuntu wiki i get: Works perfectly, out of the box for my s1500 scanner -- but xsane doesn't recognize it | 03:08 |
| bonhoffer | any options | 03:08 |
| Bite | pfifo: because i was thinking that there's another. Such as having the core across all systems and installing on top.... | 03:08 |
| Bite | Ehh, forget it. | 03:08 |
| opera | i down a dict for stardict,but i can't install it who can tell me | 03:08 |
| pfifo | Bite are you trying to switch between KDE and Gnome and Xfce? and thinking tht todo this you have to uninstall on and install another? | 03:08 |
| chinaboy | ÓÐÖйúµÄÂð | 03:09 |
| Bite | pfifo: you can do that in the login screen. | 03:09 |
| opera | i download a computer dict dor stardict, but i don'know how to install it . | 03:09 |
| pfifo | Bite, i have no real idea as why you want todo this, but tlearn unionfs, it may solve all your problems | 03:10 |
| chinaboy | what's the file type? | 03:10 |
| bonhoffer | is there an acrobat alternative (pdf editor) for ubuntu? | 03:10 |
| Bite | pfifo: i installed all three, decided, that i didnt like KDE, but had issues getting rid of it. | 03:11 |
| Bite | unionfs? | 03:11 |
| opera | stardict-kdit-computer-gb-2.42 | 03:11 |
| mjn | exit | 03:11 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | do i need anti virus or trojan blocker for linux? | 03:11 |
| tensorpudding | bonhoffer: there's a pdf editor available but it's unlikely to be as good as acrobat | 03:12 |
| taglass | KINGOFSWORDS: No | 03:12 |
| Bite | KINGOFSWORDS: haha. funny joke. | 03:12 |
| bonhoffer | tensorpudding, cool -- i just need to rotate a page and add a page to an existing document | 03:12 |
| tensorpudding | KINGOFSWORDS: no | 03:12 |
| Bite | KINGOFSWORDS: Not in the slightest. | 03:12 |

| ubottu | opera: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk | 03:13 |
| aeon-ltd | KINGOFSWORDS: there isn't one | 03:13 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i know theres no virus for linux but its possible to get corrupt? | 03:13 |
| aeon-ltd | !ufw | KINGOFSWORDS | 03:13 |
| ubottu | KINGOFSWORDS: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 03:13 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i read earlier there is a fw included in ubuntu...ufw or s'thing | 03:13 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | thx ubottu | 03:14 |
| aeon-ltd | KINGOFSWORDS: yeah, corrupt writes are always a possibility, but as long as you don't run shady scripts and commands you should be fine | 03:14 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | so am i right thinking trojans cant install on linux then? even if u enter pw by mistake | 03:14 |

| Bite | pfifo: prolly will. | 03:17 |
| bonhoffer | looks like pdftk is all i get | 03:18 |
| Bite | pfifo: and i'll store this knowledge away until they release a gnome that uninstalls easily. | 03:18 |
| pfifo | Bite, it is the best way, youll free up thing you didnt think you needed to remove and be way better off | 03:18 |

| pfifo | Bite, Im a programmer nd i assume several things about your system when writing a program, #1 you have infinate disk space, and #2 ou have infinate memory | 03:21 |
| rww | ouyes: if so, http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ , though it's opt-in and thus statistically invalid. | 03:21 |
| Axlin | bonhoffer: ah, xdg-open is better. it opens with the preferred application, regardless of file type :) | 03:21 |
| bonhoffer | Axlin, thanks | 03:21 |
| ouyes | how many pcs including laptop are running on 32-bit ubuntu ? | 03:21 |

| slipp3d | I can log into ssh but can't log into NX | 03:47 |
| food_ | wraffology: what are you asking? ubuntu has fat 32 support, so yes you can write to a thumb drive and use it for other computers | 03:47 |
| WraffOlogy | i mean just the applications | 03:48 |
| food_ | what type of apps? | 03:49 |
| fission6 | how can i check what ports are being used locally? do i need nmap or is there soimething elkse | 03:50 |
| food_ | wraffology: scripts are simple and portable, but library extensive apps like blender. you need to fetch all those libraries | 03:50 |
| WraffOlogy | food_ some of the ones from the unbuntu software center | 03:50 |

| psionicsin | Hey guys. I'm running an Intel i7 950, with 24GB of G.Skill RAM, with a 300 (10k) system drive, a 500, and four 1TB drives. Also a Samsung DVD burner that's SATA. And all of this is connected to an Asus P6X58D-E Mobo...yet it keeps giving me a Disk Driver error when I try to install Ubuntu. Any idea what's going on? | 03:51 |
| food_ | Wraffology: you best bet is to compile the apps into your usb and you have to make sure that you compile in all the libraries required | 03:52 |
| psionicsin | I've tried using that whole ctrl+alt+F2 thing, but it doesn't work. | 03:52 |
| taglass | psionicsin: Send me that rig and I'll check it out for you. | 03:53 |
| WraffOlogy | food_ can i do that with out having unbuntu on the flash drive? | 03:53 |
| psionicsin | taglass...no lol. This is my baby...but Linux doesn't seem to like her very much. | 03:53 |
| psionicsin | I've been stuck with windows and think it's unfair that I don't even know why. I could understand if I'm outdated...but I'm far from it. | 03:54 |

| WraffOlogy | food_ im new to unbuntu but i'm wanting to update all my computers to it | 03:57 |
| food_ | wraffology ? | 03:57 |
| WraffOlogy | btw where is unbuntu guides ? | 03:57 |
| rww | !manual | 03:58 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 03:58 |
| oneliner | how can i know if root user has a password set? | 03:58 |
| visual1ce | i restored my mail by copying my sbackup .evolution folder but it seems like when i use alt+f4 to close evolution the emails i received are not saved | 03:58 |
| kassius | !manual | 03:58 |
| Logan_ | WraffOlogy: What is unbuntu? | 03:58 |
| B-Wolf | its a Os | 03:58 |
| WraffOlogy | logan_ it's bad spelling | 03:58 |
| rww | oneliner: sudo cat /etc/shadow | grep ^root | 03:58 |
| rww | oneliner: if you get a * after the first :, it's a disabled account with no password. a bunch of letters and $ means there's a password set | 03:59 |
| kerrick | "aptitude reinstall --purge apache2" resets all configuration files for apache2, right? | 03:59 |
| oneliner | rww am getting root:!:numbersandsemicolons | 04:00 |
| jrib | kerrick: nope | 04:00 |
| gartral | hey all, i started my ubuntu and i keep getting a message saying the gnome power manager settings are incorrect, i havent changed anything, and my themes are not loading, it won't let me log into either account i made on it. | 04:00 |
| rww | oneliner: it's disabled | 04:00 |
| rww | oneliner: ! or * or anything like that aren't valid password hashes, so you can't log into accounts with that | 04:00 |
| rww | hence disabled :) | 04:00 |
| oneliner | right so there s no way to do su untill i set a root pass? | 04:01 |
| oneliner | i know sudo acomplishes the same just looking at the options | 04:01 |
| rww | oneliner: correct | 04:01 |
| oneliner | is giving a user a password the only requirement to allow it to call sudo? | 04:02 |
| soda | someone scan me | 04:02 |
| food_ | wraffology: wait, let me ask? Do you want to install your program to an usb or just an installer like an install cd when you buy a game? | 04:03 |
| jrib | oneliner: no, user must be in the admin group (that's how sudoers is setup by default) | 04:03 |
| Ben64 | oneliner: the user has to be in sudoers | 04:03 |
| WraffOlogy | is there a manual for 11.04 ubuntu | 04:03 |

| kasun | hi, im using "links", a text-based web browser. I'm trying to connect to a server at _port_ 8080. But it doesn't work. any clues? | 04:14 |
| MACscr | though if your just trying to do ubuntu, i would recommend using its internal tool for it | 04:14 |
| kassius | you can do it directly user administration menu > Startup Disk Creator | 04:14 |
| kasun | does "links" support ports other than 80? | 04:14 |
| MACscr | gabe_: as kassius just said | 04:14 |
| food_ | gabe: the ubuntu software center is not a good replacement for the synaptic package manager | 04:14 |
| gabe_ | yeah sounds easier | 04:15 |
| MACscr | kasun: how are you trying to access it? | 04:15 |
| gabe_ | thanks guys | 04:15 |
| MACscr | food_: i thought it was the same thing | 04:15 |
| gabe_ | quit | 04:15 |
| charles | anyone here experienced at troubleshooting soundcard issues? | 04:15 |
| kasun | MACscr: command is: "links 10.42.43.1:8080". basically it's tomcat server. | 04:15 |
| food_ | macscr: hell no. the only thing good about the ubuntu software center is that it has picture | 04:15 |
| kasun | MACscr: and I can access the server via chrome. | 04:16 |

| ^NiNjA | if you got an error than most likely thats the problem | 04:46 |
| ankush | <^NiNjA> My desktop effects were working great prior to installing the driver | 04:46 |
| ankush | <^NiNjA> And now even if i remove it, it doesnt help | 04:46 |
| ^NiNjA | if they ran fine using the ubuntu default driver setup you may want to use that instead. | 04:46 |

| Rahoul | hi food | 04:48 |
| Rahoul | i know how to make a simple bash bin script | 04:48 |
| food | Rahoul https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto | 04:48 |
| ^NiNjA | if you get same error try marking it for complete removal and then install again | 04:48 |
| Rahoul | however file under /etc/init/foo.conf wont run when sudo service foo start/stop | 04:49 |
| Rahoul | i guess i am missing something in the .conf file | 04:49 |
| Rahoul | not sure about the basic blocks | 04:49 |
| food | sorry it took so long, i was looking for that. make sure sure your script have a .sh at the end with exe permissions | 04:49 |
| jpapertowels | if i make an ubuntu usb live drive can i run hdparm from it to secure erase my ssds or is there an easier way? | 04:50 |
| food | ? all you have to do it add your script to a certain place. I kidda forgot ubuntu style fo doing things | 04:50 |
| Rahoul | well according to documentation, upstart files are just .conf files | 04:50 |
| Rahoul | not sh | 04:50 |
| === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK | ||
| food | your script name will have a period.sh | 04:50 |
| Rahoul | are you sure? | 04:51 |
| Rahoul | not trying to get difficult | 04:51 |
| Rahoul | its only that documenation for Upstart | 04:51 |
| ouyes | I connect my desktop pc to my laptop via rj45 cable, and the desktop pc shares the laptops wireless internet access, but how can tansfer file between them, the pc is running windows xp and the laptop is running ubuntu? | 04:51 |
| Rahoul | says it very clearle | 04:51 |
| Rahoul | that it has to be conf and not exec | 04:51 |
| Rahoul | though iknow what .sh does | 04:51 |
| Rahoul | :) | 04:51 |
| food | RahoulL i have to look for better doc to explan but scripts have a .sh at the end of the name | 04:52 |
| food | I know that kde4 complains if there isnt a .sh at the end of the name | 04:52 |
| Rahoul | pl | 04:54 |
| Rahoul | ok | 04:54 |
| Rahoul | thank you very much | 04:54 |
| Rahoul | how would you create such script | 04:54 |
| Rahoul | under /etc/init.d ??? | 04:54 |
| Rahoul | what syntax would you use | 04:54 |

| Rahoul | thanks food =) | 04:55 |
| Rahoul | will take a look at it right now | 04:55 |
| mfus | hmmm | 04:56 |
| food | Rahoul: you should understand linux run level, every distor is different like opensuse gui is at run level 5 | 04:56 |
| mfus | best power pc distro? | 04:56 |
| === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK | ||
| food | Rahoul: i made that example up since it at the top of my head | 04:56 |
| Rahoul | ok | 04:57 |
| rww | !runlevels | 04:57 |
| ubottu | In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 04:57 |
| Rahoul | so lets say for example | 04:57 |
| Rahoul | i want to run my command on startup | 04:57 |
| food | rww : i never knew you can do that tell me how to get the list | 04:57 |
| Rahoul | the basic script should be | 04:58 |
| Rahoul | #! binbash | 04:58 |
| Rahoul | coherence -d | 04:58 |
| Rahoul | and thats it? | 04:58 |

| lwizardl | anyone know how to make ubuntu not add a trash folder on external drives ? | 05:05 |
| red2kic | lwizardl: "rm -rfv .Trash-1000" -- Make a script or alias out of that. | 05:06 |
| MK` | If there is no trash folder will it make a new one as needed? | 05:07 |
| ouyes | how to know the default gateway and dns server for one interface for example wlan0 ? | 05:07 |
| soreau | MK`: yes | 05:07 |
| lwizardl | red2kic, I just want to disable the trashbin on external media. so if i tell it to delete a file it just deletes it instead of placing in the hidden trash folder | 05:07 |
| soreau | ouyes: route del default gw | 05:08 |
| red2kic | MK`: It'll -- If you delete files. | 05:08 |
| soreau | ouyes: Oh, I misread your question | 05:08 |
| rypervenche | I periodically change languages on my Ubuntu 10.10 computer. When it asks me if I want to change my home folders' names I sometimes change them. However, recently I chose "Do not show this anymore" or whatever it said. Now no matter what language I put it in it does not ask me. How can I get this back? | 05:08 |
| soreau | ouyes: Default gateway 'sudo route' and nameserver 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' | 05:09 |
| ouyes | soreau, I am running ubuntu now and the cmd ifconfig you will see ip mac and mask but no default gateway and dns server | 05:09 |
| soreau | ouyes: Use the commands I just mentioned above | 05:10 |

| PresuntoRJ | opera: You mean a USB dongle? like a PenDrive ? | 05:12 |

| PresuntoRJ | opera: it might not be compatible... a good check would be if it lists on lsusb ... | 05:14 |

| tensorpudding | opera: if when you plugged it in, it didn't appear automatically, it might not be compatible | 05:14 |
| PresuntoRJ | ouyes: ip add | 05:15 |
| red2kic | lwizardl: I use an alias that just rm .Trash-1000 in current directory. It's far effective than figuring out how to disable it (presumably because it does not exist). | 05:15 |

| jbswaff | soreau: i was wrong, it's an atheros wireless chip - sorry. | 05:16 |
| ouyes | PresuntoRJ, there is no information of gateway and dns via ip add | 05:16 |
| PresuntoRJ | ouyes: ah... I see... the routes (gateway included) are in $ ip route | 05:17 |
| PresuntoRJ | ouyes: the DNS has nothing to do with the network settings them self... it resides in a config file /etc/resolv.conf | 05:17 |
| Softdroid | Good morning! | 05:17 |
| PresuntoRJ | ouyes: in the GUI, you can also click on the Network Manager and ask to view the Network Information (or something like that) | 05:18 |

| ouyes | PresuntoRJ, thanks | 05:18 |
| Softdroid | Audigy 2 Platinum | 05:18 |
| PresuntoRJ | ouyes: by the way, ip add is short for "ip address" | 05:19 |
| jeremymcs | PresuntoRJ btw, ip is short for "ip add" | 05:19 |
| floorfilla | yeah | 05:20 |
| PresuntoRJ | Softdroid: I believe those drivers are all embended in the kernel... unless you reinstall ubuntu (not the point)... are you sure its not some codec issue? | 05:20 |
| floorfilla | so where i can route this ip? | 05:20 |
| PresuntoRJ | Softdroid: there is a friend that might help a lot with sound issues and config... meganerd | 05:20 |
| floorfilla | iptables -i | 05:20 |
| PresuntoRJ | jeremymcs: no, there is a command called $ ip | 05:21 |
| Softdroid | PresuntoRJ: I don't know. My mic is not working properly and I can't record anything either from the mic or Line in | 05:21 |
| wirrr | ever since the last update, my lucid partition keeps crashing, either when it is loading or after like 5 minutes of use | 05:21 |
| PresuntoRJ | jeremymcs: and the "add" is an option for the "address" | 05:21 |
| JohnnyL | Why does 'h*.php' work if there is at least one h*.php in the current directory (for global tags system) and it will find others in subdirectory, but if there is no h*.php is the current directory it will flat out refuse any h*.php in subdirs? | 05:21 |
| PresuntoRJ | jeremymcs: ip is the name of the protocol, not the address it self | 05:21 |
| Softdroid | PresuntoRJ: Is meganerd usually in this channel? | 05:21 |
| WhatToDo | how do i downgrade to a previous release of ubuntu? | 05:22 |
| PresuntoRJ | Softdroid: he usually is, but I am not sure what timeZone, so, he could be sleeping now | 05:22 |

| cmdbbq | hey, i am already asking aroundd in ubuntu-server, but i figured i would ask here too. i am trying to get a headless serverr to connect to my router. I am administering the server via an AP wireless network (no idea what the AP stands for, but functions as ad hoc with server as host) and i am having trouble getting the router and the server talking properly. when i try to bring up eth0 i get this: http://pastebin.com/5EzXEjzA | 05:52 |
| jbswaff | soreau: Will do! Thanks a lot for trying | 05:52 |

| cmdbbq | rob_p: the router has no such lights and the servers lights are on and blinking | 06:03 |
| soreau | jbswaff: Other channels to try might be #wireless or maybe even someone in #aircrack-ng might know | 06:03 |
| mordof | had ubuntu installed as a second partition on my 1TB drive - at the end. didn't need the first anymore | 06:03 |
| rob_p | cmdbbq: Oh, ok then. The cable is fine. | 06:04 |
| mordof | so i deleted it, moved my ubuntu partitions, resized, etc... expected my install to break and need repairs | 06:04 |
| soreau | jbswaff: The fact that there's no answer anywhere on forums and such mean the problem is probably easily fixed by something silly | 06:04 |
| mordof | but yet.. | 06:04 |
| mordof | it didn't break at all :o | 06:04 |
| cmdbbq | i am switching back to the router to chack something, but i shall return | 06:04 |

| kz3 | tensorpudding: I wanna use it, how to use it? | 06:11 |

| PresuntoRJ | babarhaq: oops... it should be there | 06:11 |
| ^NiNjA | dustin, is this for the entire gnome dektop, or something particular like the taskbar or such? | 06:11 |
| tensorpudding | kz3: you can install conky from the software center, download the config, copy the .conkyrc file to your home directory, and run conky | 06:11 |

| austinium | hi, i recently did a lucid install using a minimal CD, i installed gnome-core to keep the GUI "light", trouble is theres no "Search for Files..." in Places...what package should i install to get it there? | 06:15 |
| babarhaq | PresuntoRJ: Never knew there is such a thing. so is it closer to server edition or desktop? | 06:15 |
| PresuntoRJ | babarhaq: its is the server... I guess | 06:16 |
| rypervenche | tensorpudding: I just figured it out. I had to run the command "xdg-user-dirs-update --force" then log into another language and then back out. | 06:16 |
| PresuntoRJ | babarhaq: is it in a phisical machine or do you have it on a Amazon cloud ? | 06:16 |
| babarhaq | PresuntoRJ: Thanks a lot for your help. Appreciate it. | 06:16 |

| babarhaq | PresuntoRJ: Its from a hosting company slicehost.com | 06:17 |
| extraclassic | austinium: just do sudo apt-get install gnome, then don't install but output to a text file and look through all the packages | 06:17 |
| dustin | ^NiNjA i installed a xp -look a like and didnt finish then changed it back and part of it still remains | 06:17 |
| austinium | extraclassic: ok, so which package should i look for? | 06:18 |
| extraclassic | no idea...maybe it'll be obvious | 06:18 |

| PresuntoRJ | babarhaq: ok, but is it actual HARDWARE or just an IP address somewhere | 06:19 |
| dustin | Abhijit, yes free as driving as fast as you like ,(but dont crash and burn and dont do something that the ubuntu comunity is going to get in trouble | 06:19 |
| ayecee | spyzer: what do you want to print? | 06:19 |
| extraclassic | sLaeYa: if you dual boot you have to install windows first and put it at the beginning of the drive | 06:20 |
| Abhijit | dustin, amm???? i just want to be able to change my login screen theme? do you know how/ | 06:20 |
| spyzer | ayecee: like some specific codelines which have LOG in there starting or are written like LOG(/*My statement*/) | 06:20 |
| Abhijit | soreau, dustin ubuntu tweak dont change the theme. i just changes the logo and background. its not theme | 06:20 |
| spyzer | and things inside this LOG() are printed | 06:20 |
| ^NiNjA | sLaeYa, you installed win7 after linux? | 06:20 |
| spyzer | or something | 06:20 |
| babarhaq | PresuntoRJ: Its hardware | 06:20 |
| sLaeYa | extraclassic: is there a way around it if I haven't installed windows first? | 06:20 |
| ayecee | spyzer: you would like those logs printed to stderr? | 06:21 |
| extraclassic | i've never done it | 06:21 |
| ayecee | those lines, rather | 06:21 |
| WaltherFI | sLaeYa: to get grub or? | 06:21 |
| soreau | Abhijit: Yea I think that's all you can do | 06:21 |

| Cortex | is there any way to autohide the sidebar in ubuntu netbook? | 06:21 |
| ^NiNjA | grub rescue cd | 06:21 |
| WaltherFI | sLaeYa: boot from the stick/dvd and go to the live environment | 06:21 |
| ^NiNjA | it can allow you to write a new grub to the MBR | 06:21 |
| WaltherFI | sLaeYa: grub-install should do it | 06:21 |
| sLaeYa | WaltherFI: currently on usb | 06:22 |
| ayecee | spyzer: seems like something that may be possible, but i don't know how to do it offhand. | 06:22 |
| PresuntoRJ | babarhaq: there are minor changes from server kernel to the desktop one | 06:22 |
| sLaeYa | grub-install from terminal ? | 06:22 |
| PresuntoRJ | babarhaq: usually you can use any on the server | 06:22 |
| WaltherFI | ^NiNjA: live cd can do it also | 06:22 |
| ^NiNjA | true WaltherFI | 06:22 |
| PresuntoRJ | babarhaq: the server is more stable, and has a slower internal ticker (100Mhz) | 06:22 |
| WaltherFI | sLaeYa: google grub-install, i'm not perfectly sure about the syntax | 06:22 |
| babarhaq | PresuntoRJ: alright thanx a lot. | 06:22 |
| sLaeYa | ok thanks ... reading the man on it now | 06:22 |
| WaltherFI | sLaeYa: also remember, don't specify a partition to install to, just the hd | 06:23 |
| ^NiNjA | the grub rescue disk can search for installed grub configs and reinstall them | 06:23 |
| WaltherFI | ^NiNjA: so can lice cd, but you still have to specify the hd first | 06:23 |
| Cortex | sorry, is there any way to autohide the sidebar in ubuntu netbook? | 06:23 |
| ^NiNjA | dint know that WaltherFI | 06:24 |

| Cortex | WaltherFI: how can i upgrade? download the iso and reinstall? | 06:24 |
| extraclassic | *once | 06:24 |
| WaltherFI | Cortex: download the iso, boot from dvd/usb, then you can either do a clean install or upgrade | 06:25 |
| WaltherFI | Cortex: however, i'd suggest a clean install, but it's up to you | 06:25 |
| WaltherFI | anyway, g2g now | 06:25 |

| white_magic | ayecee: does the /mnt directory get cleared each time a system is rebooted? I don't need to delete dirs i created, right? | 06:48 |

| PresuntoRJ | red2kic: y bad... right | 06:50 |
| white_magic | PresuntoRJ: so should i use another mount mount? is that where ubuntu mounts drives by default? | 06:50 |
| white_magic | seems like it tbh | 06:50 |
| white_magic | i mean mounts when i click on a volume from 'system' | 06:50 |
| red2kic | white_magic: If you're mounting manually, it does not matter. /media/ or /mnt/ is sufficient. | 06:50 |
| bullgard4 | PresuntoRJ: I think so. Synaptic says that my version 2.30.3-0ubuntu1 is up-to-date. | 06:50 |

| LorgonJortle | Hello! | 07:09 |
| bullgard4 | rypervenche: To analyze the problem, proceed step-by-step. That is, take the particular file in question and only try to move it. Use verbose mode. | 07:10 |
| white_magic | i'd like there to be only the mountpoints.. i need.. if the OS wants to generate stupid useless ones, i dont want them on the desktop | 07:10 |

| LorgonJortle | My mic isn't currently working, and I'm thinkin' it's just muted. However, I've just installed xmonad, so I don't have the gnome panel to get to the settings. How can I open the sound settings via CL? | 07:10 |
| Blue1 | white_magic: let me go back and look at your mount command | 07:10 |
| Blue1 | white_magic: okay so your mountpoint is desktop odd but it works | 07:11 |
| white_magic | ehhh why not | 07:11 |
| Blue1 | white_magic: normally you just mkdir <somedirectory name> | 07:11 |
| white_magic | i can change it up | 07:11 |
| Blue1 | white_magic: then mount the directory name -- | 07:12 |
| white_magic | bluel: i guess i don't wanna clutter up my FS with dirs.. but if i create mount point dirs on the desktop, i wont be able to ignore clutter or useless mount dirs | 07:12 |
| white_magic | Bluel: I'm just trying to get comfortable.. my methods are very amateurish at this point, i'm sure | 07:13 |
| Blue1 | white_magic: i guess I don't understand the issue -- | 07:13 |

| red2kic | jubei: Because you don't need it anymore. | 08:05 |

| soreau | jubei: It still respects xorg.conf settings if present. The only time you need one really is for proprietary drivers, since X will not load one automatically without being specifically told to | 08:32 |

| prov | aivou: If physical security is a problem go with encryption. But I think you are mainly concerned about network security, yes? | 08:57 |
| red2kic | funkySnake: Yes. However, I'm not certain about #2 | 08:57 |
| aivou | prov: yeah, network security it is, which im concerned of | 08:58 |
| Kartagis | what does this mean "Default umask for local users is 077"? | 08:58 |
| prov | aivou: I really don't see a need for you to be too concerned. It is Linux after all. If you were running a server then you should really take much care. Are rather new to the Linux scene? | 08:59 |

| prov | aivou: First lesson, although linux security is not perfect you are no longer the low fruit on the tree, you can relax but not too much. Servers are the main goal for hackers since they are dedicated and on all the time. But as a home user you have not much to worry about. What are your worries? | 09:03 |
| maheanuu | I thought that there was a Ubuntu beginners channel on freenode...... This channel is above my paygrade for the moment I believe | 09:03 |
| ubuntu | maheanuu, whats up | 09:04 |
| rumpe1 | maheanuu: it is for beginners also... just ask if something is on your mind | 09:04 |

| lolmatic | hi | 09:05 |
| maheanuu | I just installed Skype a couple of days ago and it was the latest one for Ubuntu and was working fine and I have been using my machine for audio and video work but My bro in law wanted to talk to his sister in Hawaii (il live in Tahiti) and when I went to skype my sound wasn't working and when I went back to Ubuntu I had NO sound out at all | 09:05 |
| lolmatic | after a reboot somehow my window decorations are gone 0_o (metacity) | 09:05 |
| danielcg25 | Is Ubuntu faster than OSX? | 09:06 |
| iceroot | danielcg25: try it out yourself | 09:06 |
| prov | aivou: You ought to invest a little money in a hacking book. If you want to be a good defender you better be one good offender. If you do not know how your enemy thinks and the tools they use you stand no chance. I would tell a would be cracker to study forensics because without knowing their enemy they would not be good at what they do. | 09:07 |
| luca__ | hello everyone, i need some help to open 80 port for an emulated software in ubuntu | 09:07 |
| iceroot | luca__: the software should open port 80 | 09:07 |
| iceroot | luca__: also remeber, port80 is normally reserved for apache | 09:07 |
| prov | aivou: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/ | 09:07 |
| hkof11 | which is faster, x64 or i386? | 09:08 |
| maheanuu | I did a aplay -l and my sound card is showing I have no pulse files and my alsa is supposedly in place | 09:08 |
| shomon | luca__, you can get UFW - quite easy to use. apt-get install ufw | 09:08 |
| Ben64 | x64 is faster, but only works on 64 bit cpus | 09:08 |
| slaeya | join #windows | 09:08 |
| shomon | and then just "sudo ufw allow 80" | 09:08 |
| rumpe1 | lolmatic: "metacity --replace & disown" in terminal | 09:08 |
| aivou | prov: thanks! | 09:08 |
| luca__ | iceroot: i know, i was trying to install a winzozz network video sourveillance software on ubuntu using wine | 09:08 |
| ubuntu | luca__, then you will need to port forward from gateway to host for external access | 09:09 |
| lolmatic | rumpe1: thx. but why were they gone in the first place? | 09:09 |
| rumpe1 | lolmatic: you can check the logs (Xorg.0.log e.g.) | 09:09 |
| luca__ | iceroot: the problem is "port 80 is not avaiable" , but for ufw is fully open | 09:09 |
| ubuntu | luca__, there is a native vid app for that! | 09:09 |
| maheanuu | I am running a 64 bit version and loving it I had no probs after an upgrade where I installed a 500 gig hd and upgraded Ubuntu 10.10 64 | 09:09 |
| prov | aivou: You ought to use the link to that distro I gave. Set up in virtual box and hack your own system. It is worth far more than any school degree. | 09:09 |

| aivou | prov: Yea, i've heard about backtrack before, but never used it | 09:10 |
| luca__ | iceroot: i asked, they sayed to ask here, because i need to add an exception on 80 for the software end they don't remember the syntax | 09:11 |
| ubuntu | anyone got some info on getting ubuntu 10.04 server running on this :- http://www.usadoscom.com/imagens/p4u/p4u000364.jpg proliant 1500 | 09:11 |
| prov | aivou: I have used it a little and what little I used I was very impressed :) You should also try http://spins.fedoraproject.org/security/ | 09:11 |
| ubuntu | backtrack is better ;) | 09:12 |
| iceroot | luca__: there is no restriction by default so there is no need for an exception | 09:12 |
| ubuntu | luca__, check out zoneminder for ubuntu ! | 09:13 |
| luca__ | iceroot: so ubuntu allows to every software the access on 80 if opened by ufw? | 09:13 |
| prov | aivou: I recommend you pay for the service offered by backtrack. Believe me, it is worth it. | 09:13 |
| luca__ | Ubuntu: zoneminder doesn't work with canon ip cameras, i tryed already | 09:14 |
| aivou | prov: btw I have a dualboot ubuntu/windows vista, does windows provide any backdoor or somekind of a security threat? | 09:15 |
| aivou | to linux, it is | 09:15 |
| ubuntu | luca__, if its an ip cam then it has its own interface ? you dont need app to view it just the ip! | 09:15 |
| ubuntu | windows is a backdoor and a security threat lol | 09:16 |
| danielcg25 | lmao | 09:16 |
| luca__ | ubuntu: i know, but to monitor and record multiple cameras i need | 09:16 |
| prov | aivou: I do not know for sure but I do not trust code I cannot see. But there are plenty conflicts of interest to be concerned about, Microsoft is at it to make money and they will do what they can to ensure every copy is paid for, catch my drift? | 09:16 |
| ubuntu | and it wont work with zoneminder ? strange luca__ | 09:16 |
| red2kic | luca__: Try motion | 09:17 |

| ogee | my ubuntu crashed on me | 10:01 |
| parapan | red2kic: can do that but I'm annoyed by this .....the only way to detect the process is when checking the system monitor ...cannot ,use any command to kill this process; from System Monitor can be done but wanted to do that from terminal | 10:01 |
| k_sze | I need to back up important data before doing a clean install. | 10:01 |
| vaasu | what happened? details pls, | 10:01 |
| dustin | if anyone needs me ,pm me | 10:01 |
| red2kic | parapan: Okay. htop is nice CLI system monitor. | 10:01 |

| red2kic | !pae | stat1k | 10:10 |
| ubottu | stat1k: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 10:10 |

| _marix | dustin: looking for a magic fstab line or something else so that it mounts to a static location instead of /media/<labelofstick>, so it can be redirected via rdesktop | 10:10 |

| dustin | Memphizzz, my question is how in the world you got remote desktop to work, i have been at it for months | 10:12 |
| stat1k | red2kic: thanks. i was talking about from my windows partition though. ubuntu is 32bit version so im not expecting more than that from the os. but my windows is 64bit so it should be able to use it all. is there something that grub passing to the windows os that makes it act as a 32bit os? | 10:12 |
| slaeya | k_sze: encrypted ... | 10:13 |
| red2kic | stat1k: Eh? If you're on 32bit Ubuntu, you're on 32bit Ubuntu. Otherwise, you're on Ubuntu 64. The same goes for Windows 32 or Windows 64. | 10:13 |
| verynewubuntu | am I in the right place for help with ubuntu server? | 10:14 |
| red2kic | stat1k: It have nothing to do with grub. Just your hardware specs. | 10:14 |

| kubanc | how do I uncheck package in terminal, because synaptic package manager is not working, and i would like to uncheck installation for this package in terminal? | 11:13 |
| maniakss | there's something wrong with my Ubuntu. When i use it i have "internet breaks"... on Windows there's everything fine. Someone does know what is it? | 11:14 |
| valium | kubanc - if synaptic has hung it may still have lock on the package database. | 11:14 |
| valium | kubanc - check to see if synaptic is still running via ps aux | grep -i synaptic | 11:15 |
| kubanc | valium, sudo apt-get remove did the work | 11:15 |
| maniakss | and it seems like just HTTP doesn't work | 11:15 |
| moty | how partitioning in preseed ubuntu installation? | 11:15 |
| valium | maniakss - check your dns | 11:15 |
| valium | geez - i only popped in for 5 minutes to see if there was an LDAP address book tool :P | 11:16 |
| valium | maniakss - /etc/resolve.conf | 11:16 |
| maniakss | valium, it's empty file | 11:17 |
| Xyzzin | hey | 11:17 |
| Xyzzin | can someone help me? | 11:17 |
| Roniga | !ask | Xyzzin | 11:18 |
| ubottu | Xyzzin: 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. :-) | 11:18 |
| Xyzzin | k :) | 11:18 |
| valium | maniakss - try adding the line nameserver 192.168.0.1 or whatever the ip address is of your router | 11:19 |
| Xyzzin | I have ubuntu 7.04 Feisty. I want to upgrade you 7.10, but i am unable to. I searched and i cannot fidn anything. So how do i do it? | 11:19 |
| susundberg | huh thats quite old one .. i would here suggest fresh install if there is not very good reason why not | 11:19 |
| maniakss | valium, 192.168.1.1 < so i should add just this? | 11:19 |
| maniakss | nothing more? | 11:19 |
| valium | maniakss - but you should really edit /etc/network/interfaces | 11:20 |
| xombie | valium | 11:20 |
| xombie | i tried shutting down via terminal | 11:20 |
| valium | maniakss - set a static ip is best | 11:20 |
| xombie | n it went well | 11:20 |
| xombie | so whats the error now | 11:20 |
| valium | xombie - okay great so its a problem with the gui then | 11:20 |
| dustin | hey im back | 11:20 |
| xombie | how do i correct my shutdown | 11:20 |
| valium | xombie - most likely | 11:20 |
| xombie | ok | 11:20 |
| xombie | gui | 11:20 |
| Xyzzin | OK. Thanks for help. I am on a network tho. | 11:20 |
| Xyzzin | So a fresh install will be kind of hard | 11:21 |
| valium | xombie - check errors by going into a terminal and issuing the command dmesg | 11:21 |
| maniakss | valium, what's there? i have just "auto lo iface lo inet loopback" | 11:21 |
| valium | xombie - look for tell-tail errors | 11:21 |
| valium | maniakss - you dont have a network interface detected | 11:21 |
| xombie | n how do i get it | 11:21 |
| xombie | ? | 11:21 |
| xombie | ? | 11:22 |
| valium | maniakss - you can stuff around or you can just buy another network card. Get a realtek | 11:22 |
| valium | maniakss - what type of network card are you using? | 11:22 |
| maniakss | valium, i'm pretty sure i've got a Realtek network card | 11:22 |
| valium | xombie - how do you get what? | 11:22 |
| maniakss | valium, hmm, idk but mobo Gigabyte EP31-DS3L | 11:23 |
| valium | maniakss - ok.. Have you got the network module loaded? | 11:23 |
| xombie | how do i get what errors are associated with it? | 11:23 |
| maniakss | network module you mean? | 11:23 |
| valium | xombie - just read your dmesg and look for errors dude. | 11:23 |
| xombie | dmesg? | 11:24 |
| valium | xombie - or create a new laucher with the command sudo init 0 | 11:24 |
| valium | xombie - thats a quick hack | 11:24 |
| maniakss | valium ? what do you mean by network module? | 11:24 |
| maniakss | wait valium, i'll make you a print screen of my eth0 config | 11:24 |
| valium | maniakss - man modprobe | 11:25 |
| valium | maniakss - i dont need it. I know what it looks like. | 11:26 |
| maniakss | ok | 11:26 |
| maniakss | i'm in modprobe | 11:26 |
| valium | guys I have to jet .... its 8:30pm here in australia time for a bite to eat. | 11:26 |
| maniakss | valium, ok;/ but bittorent protocole doesn't work too | 11:27 |
| dustin | IM BACCKK | 11:27 |
| valium | maniakss - dont be put off...every issue is an opportunity to learn something new. If you get frustrated just replace your network card with one that is at least 6 months old and you will be golden | 11:27 |
| tfogal | hey all, i'm trying to install qt devel packages, but apt-get wants to pull in all sorts of mesa stuff | 11:27 |
| tfogal | yet I have the nvidia drivers installed, and those will break everything | 11:28 |
| === mRy is now known as Guest91948 | ||
| valium | maniakss - you have no network card working that is why | 11:28 |
| tfogal | any ideas on how I can tell ubuntu, 'no, really, the system already has GL'? | 11:28 |
| maniakss | valium, but on windows everything is ok | 11:28 |
| valium | lol - yes because on windows you have the card detected and the drivers installed | 11:28 |
| maniakss | and i use an Access Point - maybe this ? | 11:28 |
| valium | maniakss - i can only point the way dude. You gotta do the work. Frustrating but its the only way. Ive given you all info you need | 11:29 |
| maniakss | ok valium, thx | 11:29 |
| maniakss | i'll try something | 11:29 |
| valium | maniakss - you can do it. Easy peasy. Good luck! | 11:29 |
| valium | okay so anyone with an LDAP front end for secretarial use? | 11:30 |

| Ben64 | tfogal: what does it want to put in | 11:33 |
| tfogal | Ben64: libgl1-mesa-dev | 11:34 |
| Ben64 | that shouldn't affect nvidia at all, thats just a source package | 11:34 |
| tfogal | I think the issue is that nvidia-glx-185-dev does not Provides: libgl-dev | 11:34 |
| * tfogal shrugs | 11:35 | |
| tfogal | i'l try it | 11:35 |

| Ben64 | REALLY slow | 11:40 |

| Ben64 | like... maybe 5% of the speed of a normal HD | 11:40 |
| newbie01 | why do upgrades for say skype be done in the automated upgrades | 11:42 |
| Kream | well its for a storage server, | 11:42 |
| newbie01 | ? | 11:42 |
| newbie01 | why do upgrades for say skype not be done in the automated upgrades | 11:42 |

| Ben64 | just click on the updater and update em yourself... | 11:44 |
| aruns | i'm running ubuntu 10.10 | 11:44 |
| Kream | Ben64: complications in booting from zfs vpools | 11:44 |

| Ben64 | aruns: check /etc/fstab | 11:45 |
| aruns | its not there | 11:45 |
| Ben64 | Kream: it can, but i've tried it, and it's mind numbingly slow | 11:46 |
| dustin | maniakss, linux is every where , lol and the windows guys say s it not much good .. ( laugh in face , and say the worlds fastest computers run it and some pro do also , hey theres even youtube video of it | 11:46 |
| Ben64 | aruns: nothing like this? /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 | 11:46 |
| Kream | aruns: ls -l /dev/cdrom | 11:46 |
| Kream | aruns: should symlink to a device | 11:46 |
| aruns | Ben64, nope. just figured it out though, /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd and /dev/dvdrw are all aliases to /dev/sr0 | 11:46 |
| Kream | :) | 11:46 |
| aruns | so i guess i can use any of them | 11:46 |
| newbie01 | is there a linux distrubution which has the minimum preinstalled programs i.e. just the bare essentials | 11:47 |

| maniakss | but for users it's not working so good | 11:47 |
| erUSUL | !minimal | newbie01 | 11:47 |
| ubottu | newbie01: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:47 |
| Kream | next question, Ben64 :) Can I boot from a usb flash drive with / on 2 mirrored usb flash drives? | 11:47 |

| Ben64 | Kream: you know ubuntu makes a ramdisk by default, right? | 11:50 |
| Ben64 | tfogal: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 13 2010-05-24 00:25 /usr/lib/libGL.so -> mesa/libGL.so | 11:50 |

| Renaud | Hi, I've been trying to make a USB bootable server installation of Ubuntu, however, using the hd-media installer files (initrd.gz and vmlinuz) found here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/ , I couldn't not succeed, it seems the modules compiled in the initrd.gz is not compatible with the ones on the 10.04.2 ISO, is there a plan to update those files on the the FTP ? | 11:51 |
| maniakss | ok | 11:52 |
| Deadglow | anyone know what to do about ubuntu installation freezing on the partition resize screen? have tried chkdsk and defragmenter | 11:52 |
| tfogal | Ben64: yes. | 11:52 |
| Ben64 | tfogal: cause thats normal. | 11:52 |
| tfogal | ? it's a mesa library | 11:52 |
| tfogal | or is it just named poorly? | 11:52 |
| Ben64 | mesa is opengl | 11:53 |
| tfogal | nvidia is not mesa. | 11:53 |
| Ben64 | correct | 11:53 |
| Ben64 | libGL = opengl = mesa | 11:53 |
| maniakss | ubottu, Ben64 : i have a problem with my internet... HTTP Doesnt run so good, it has breaks - something it works, something not. DNS on Windows is working good, so why not here? | 11:53 |

| Ben64 | maniakss: your dns isn't working? | 11:54 |

| Ben64 | maniakss: open a terminal and try "ping ben64.com" and tell me what happens | 11:55 |
| maniakss | Ben64, nothing happens | 11:56 |
| maniakss | Ben64, ping: unknown host ben64.com | 11:56 |
| Ben64 | maniakss: ok then you just need to add some dns servers | 11:56 |

| test1234 | Hello, i have a general question. Which IDE is "best" for linux? I realize that this depends on what type of programming you are embarking on but is there a preferred IDE that is commonly known as being superior? If not, which one are recommended? So far i've found, Eclipse, Netbeans and Amy. | 12:07 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 12:07 |

| jrib | !lamp | mwic | 13:12 |
| ubottu | mwic: 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+) | 13:12 |

| HTCPX | hello. when installing ubuntu, is the main partition and swap supposed go be primary or is the main supposed to be primary and swap logical? | 13:15 |
| cybrhuman | xadi: then you got some trouble... | 13:15 |
| gazap-on | he means ubuntu-offtopic | 13:15 |
| rumpe1 | HTCPX, doesnt matter at all | 13:15 |
| rumpe1 | HTCPX, primary and logical partitions are only interesting if you want to stay flexible with regard to your partition-scheme | 13:16 |
| HTCPX | rumpe1 I'm setting then both as primary then thanks | 13:17 |
| BlackDragonTechy | That should be fine. | 13:17 |
| BlackDragonTechy | Don't forget to mount / to your main. | 13:18 |
| gazap-on | cybrhuman: i forgot to tell you, if i reboot with the card inserted, ubuntu wont load | 13:18 |
| cybrhuman | gazap-on: odd issue... does grub show up? or is the failure even earlier? | 13:19 |
| gazap-on | no, it gets stuck before ide detection | 13:20 |
| sivang | back | 13:20 |
| sivang | thank rumpe1 | 13:20 |
| rumpe1 | sivang, you're welcome :) | 13:21 |
| sivang | rumpe1: I'm back at a sainer desktop for me old | 13:21 |
| gazap-on | cybrhuman: i'll try it on windows to see if is a hardware problem | 13:21 |
| sivang | old guy | 13:21 |
| cybrhuman | gazap-on: that sounds really weird. Would it be a viable option to backup the contents and reformat the 8GB? just curious | 13:21 |
| sivang | rumpe1: you have any idea if the kernel patch for right click on the lenovo ideapad has been included? | 13:21 |

| cybrhuman | have you tried just choosing Ubunu desktop edition on the login screen? | 13:23 |
| rumpe1 | sivang, no... sorry. Have no lenovo. | 13:23 |
| sunit | I am writting a shell script which is in a installer file. The script will run after installation is complete and run with schedule whenever ubuntu server is running. How shall I do that ? | 13:23 |
| osmosis_paul | good afternoon i have one doubt, when i made a top and i see the metrics of the system i see that CPU% go more of 100% so what is the escale 1000%??? | 13:24 |
| osmosis_paul | so 30% es like 3% | 13:24 |
| osmosis_paul | thanls | 13:24 |
| rumpe1 | sunit, what do you mean with "ubuntu server is running"? the ubuntu server edition? | 13:24 |
| sivang | cybrhuman: exactly what I did | 13:24 |
| cybrhuman | osmosis_paul: you have more than one cpu-core, you run a multicore cpu. | 13:24 |
| sivang | cybrhuman: this was like rumpe1 said "classic flavor" | 13:24 |
| sivang | : | 13:24 |
| sivang | :) | 13:25 |
| sivang | Coca Cola like to use this term a lot | 13:25 |
| sivang | as depicted in Futurama | 13:25 |
| rumpe1 | hehe | 13:25 |
| cybrhuman | sivang: should you want to move the close/minimize buttons just change theme :) | 13:25 |
| azimo3 | Hey, someone can tell me how do i can configure Ubuntu to accept incoming connection from putty | 13:25 |
| azimo3 | on a LAN | 13:25 |
| osmosis_paul | cybrhuman, yeah that's right but i guess that this valuie was an average or something | 13:26 |
| rumpe1 | azimo3, deactivate firewalls, install openssh-server | 13:26 |
| osmosis_paul | so you mean that every 100% es a core and if i have 4 i can go over 400%???? | 13:26 |
| rumpe1 | azimo3, or maybe just the latter one i guess | 13:26 |
| azimo3 | rumpe1: how do i deactived them | 13:26 |
| sivang | cybrhuman: I remeber there was a gconf line to do that | 13:26 |
| sivang | :) | 13:26 |
| sivang | cybrhuman: I did it on my desktop | 13:26 |
| rumpe1 | azimo3, try openssh-server firt | 13:26 |
| sunit | rumple1: yes the installer will run on a ubuntu CLI server | 13:26 |
| azimo3 | rumpe1: apt-get? | 13:26 |
| rumpe1 | azimo3, correct | 13:27 |
| sivang | the system testing app is gathering information for a long time now | 13:27 |
| * sivang kills it from the terminal | 13:27 | |
| azimo3 | rumpe1: i'll try | 13:27 |
| azimo3 | .... | 13:27 |
| root___ | exit | 13:27 |
| cybrhuman | azimo3: install open-ssh and add sshd to /etc/hosts.allow, the syntax is described in "man /etc/hosts.allow" | 13:27 |
| rumpe1 | sunit, well... you could scan /etc/issue ... or lsb_release output to determine the ubuntu version | 13:27 |
| sivang | hmm, but what is its pid | 13:27 |
| sivang | .. | 13:27 |
| cybrhuman | azimo3: should be somehting along the lines of sshd: 192.168. or 10.0 which should allow the lan to connect to it. | 13:28 |
| * sivang really misses the kill app button that used to be on the top panel | 13:28 | |
| rumpe1 | sivang, pgrep <command> | 13:29 |
| azimo3 | apt-get install WHAT? | 13:29 |
| cybrhuman | sivang: isnt that there still? | 13:29 |
| azimo3 | open-ssh didnt work | 13:29 |
| sivang | rumpe1: I don't recall the command name | 13:29 |
| sivang | :) | 13:29 |
| rumpe1 | sivang, create one yourself :) create-starter -> "xkill" | 13:29 |
| lolmatic | can anybody tell me why my window decorations are missing after reboot? | 13:29 |
| osmosis_paul | cybrhuman, i'm right? if i have 4 cores i can have until 400% of CPU consume | 13:29 |
| osmosis_paul | ??? | 13:29 |
| sivang | rumpe1: right, good idea, need to think simple | 13:29 |
| rumpe1 | sivang, well ... then top, ps axu | less .... | 13:29 |
| azimo3 | rumpe1: what is the correct spelling of open-ssh | 13:30 |
| sivang | rumpe1: thing is, I don't have right button yet to do any of this | 13:30 |
| cybrhuman | azimo3: have you added sshd to be allowed to take ssh requests? | 13:30 |
| lolmatic | openssh | 13:30 |
| sivang | :) | 13:30 |
| rumpe1 | azimo3, aptitude search openssh | 13:30 |
| azimo3 | rumpe1: what is the correct spelling of open-ssh | 13:30 |
| sivang | the ideapad needs some either xkb setting ot kernel something to enable right click on the ideapd | 13:30 |
| sivang | azimo3: openssh-server | 13:30 |
| sivang | azimo3: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 13:30 |
| cybrhuman | osmosis_paul: yes | 13:31 |
| azimo3 | cybrhuman: how? | 13:31 |
| osmosis_paul | cybrhuman, thanks | 13:31 |
| azimo3 | cybrhuman: how do i add sshd to /etc.... | 13:32 |
| sivang | azimo3: are you creating a system from scratch? | 13:32 |
| sivang | azimo3: once the package is installed, this will be handled for you by dpkg | 13:32 |
| rumpe1 | azimo3, just install openssh-server... try to login... is usually sufficient | 13:32 |
| sivang | azimo3: and openssh-server will automatically start on reboot | 13:32 |
| azimo3 | im on a configured ubuntu server system | 13:32 |
| sivang | azimo3: sudo apt-get install openssh-server; ssh localhost | 13:33 |
| azimo3 | sivang: i need to reboot after install? | 13:33 |
| sivang | azimo3: no, this is not windows :-p | 13:33 |

| rumpe1 | sunit, look for some bash-scripting tutorials on the net... or ask #bash | 13:37 |

| rumpe1 | sunit, or #sh, if you prefer that | 13:37 |

| tibi | I have a problem with the package manager | 14:00 |
| krosh | I mounted a nfs fs that had rw permission, but I got permission denied error when I tried to copy a file to it. Should I change the owner or some permission of directory? | 14:00 |
| AcidPhone | tibi: wat problem | 14:01 |
| AcidPhone | krosh: nautilus | 14:01 |
| tibi | it says it has unresolved dependencies with packages that are already installed | 14:01 |
| deveras | hi everyone. I've been trying to solve the apache2 downloading PHP scripts for a full day now. I've followed several webpages instructions on how to resolve the problem, and i've remove and purged all apache2 and php5 related packages. The reinstallationg to me to the same place. Is there someone here that did manage to solve the problem? | 14:02 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i think that means that some dependencies are conflicting with each other | 14:02 |
| [THC]AcidRain | either that or there are some that need others to work | 14:02 |

| [THC]AcidRain | tibi: you are using ubuntu 9.1? | 14:04 |
| tibi | no, i'm using 10.10 | 14:04 |
| [THC]AcidRain | i believe that error is asking you to install compiz-core | 14:04 |
| tibi | he following packages have unmet dependencies: compiz-dev : Depends: compiz-core (= 1:0.8.6-0ubuntu9) but 1:0.8.6-0ubuntu9.1 is to be installed Depends: libgl1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed or libgl-dev E: | 14:05 |

| tibi | yes | 14:06 |
| [THC]AcidRain | then upgrade? | 14:07 |

| tibi | yes | 14:08 |
| [THC]AcidRain | hmmmm | 14:08 |
| tibi | the problem is the same in Synaptic, and apt-get | 14:08 |
| [THC]AcidRain | you will have to talk to someone more experienced with this. i have had that problem. but i forgot how i fixed it. i think i just stayed away from the synaptic packet manager and used the add remove apps | 14:08 |

| ilea | where i can talk with someone from ubuntu or someone who works on the new ubuntu 11.04? answer me please | 14:11 |

| AcidPhone | in a way | 14:11 |
| HTCPX | how do you set root IMAP folder on evolution mail client? | 14:11 |

| ruan | dhcp3-client and dhcp3-common | 14:20 |
| IRConan | ruan: the question is why bother? | 14:20 |
| IRConan | it's not doing any harm there | 14:20 |
| ruan | IRConan: i dont want to waste bandwidth on updates | 14:20 |
| ilea | some help is the #ubuntu+1 chanel | 14:21 |
| IRConan | ruan: if yuo're that worried about bandwidth you've got bigger problems | 14:21 |
| IRConan | dhcp client is tiny | 14:21 |
| ruan | IRConan: im on a slow connection | 14:21 |
| ikonia | ruan: you can tell it to hold back that package | 14:21 |
| ikonia | very little will depend on it | 14:21 |
| ruan | i'd rather remove it if it's not needed at all | 14:21 |
| cybrhuman | IRConan: I am adviced to remove it from startup when I do not use it, due to that it may get the idea to interfere. | 14:21 |
| ikonia | ruan: it has dependencies such as ubuntu-desktop which is not a problem, but a mainteance drag | 14:22 |
| ikonia | ruan: easier to disable the udpate on it | 14:22 |
| ruan | ubuntu-minimal... | 14:22 |
| ruan | !info ubuntu-minimal | 14:22 |
| ikonia | ruan: what / | 14:22 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-minimal (source: ubuntu-meta): Minimal core of Ubuntu. In component main, is important. Version 1.207 (maverick), package size 30 kB, installed size 60 kB | 14:22 |
| ruan | it seems to be a dependancy | 14:22 |
| ikonia | what is ? | 14:22 |
| IRConan | ruan: ubuntu-minimal is a meta package | 14:22 |
| ruan | The following packages will be REMOVED dhcp3-client ubuntu-minimal | 14:22 |
| IRConan | you could remove it but I wouldn't recommend it | 14:23 |
| IRConan | dependencies of ubuntu-minimal are mostly important | 14:23 |
| ikonia | ruan: yes, I've just said it has a meta package dependency, which is why I suggested just disabling it's update | 14:23 |
| akaedu | #include <stdio.h> | 14:23 |
| akaedu | int main() | 14:23 |
| akaedu | { | 14:23 |
| akaedu | int i = 1; | 14:23 |
| akaedu | //printf("%d\t%d\n", i++, i++); | 14:23 |
| FloodBot2 | akaedu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 14:23 |
| akaedu | //printf("%d\t%d\n", ++i, i++); | 14:23 |
| ikonia | IRConan: it will just remove the metapackage, that's not a problem, but it's dirty for future updates | 14:23 |
| ruan | also, does it start up at all? | 14:23 |
| ikonia | ruan: not if you disable it | 14:24 |
| ikonia | ruan: eg: have no network connections configured for it | 14:24 |
| IRConan | ruan: not if you don't use it | 14:24 |
| IRConan | also, it's <1MB for both packages | 14:24 |
| ruan | i removed network manager | 14:24 |
| lugkhast | akaedu: Put your code on paste.ubuntu.com, and ask your question here, linking to the code | 14:24 |
| ikonia | ruan: how did you remove it | 14:24 |
| Pici | akaedu: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. Your question looks to be related to ##C or ##C++ , please ask in those channels instead. | 14:24 |
| ruan | ikonia: using software center | 14:24 |
| IRConan | well unless yuo ahve an "iface * auto dhcp" in /etc/network/interfaces it wont start | 14:24 |
| ikonia | ruan: so despite asking for advice on what to do, and be warned not to do it, you've done the opposite | 14:25 |
| ruan | i havent removed dhcp | 14:25 |
| ikonia | nice job, next time don't bother asking for advice, just to it anyway | 14:25 |
| Guest10129 | does ` do something different from ' in bash? | 14:25 |
| lugkhast | akaedu: (assuming the question is Ubuntu-related like Pici mentioned) | 14:25 |
| IRConan | Guest10129: yes | 14:25 |
| strae | Hi all.. i have a virtual printer installed into a Xp virtual machine (inside Virtualbox), is possible to print to that printer from ubuntu? | 14:25 |
| ruan | ubuntu-desktop takes over 320mb of space :/ | 14:26 |
| ikonia | ruan: no, it's dependencies do, it's a metapackage | 14:26 |
| akaedu | #c | 14:26 |
| ruan | akaedu: /join ##c | 14:27 |
| LjL | ikonia, he hasn't removed dhcp yet, which is what he was asking about, he's only removed network manager which i believe he had done before coming here | 14:27 |
| ruan | ^ | 14:27 |
| ikonia | LjL: I see that, but I think network manager is also a dep of the desktop.....not %100 certain without checking | 14:27 |
| ruan | seems to be | 14:28 |
| LjL | ikonia: uhm well that's probably why it's only asking to remove ubuntu-minimal, ubuntu-desktop may already have been removed... | 14:28 |
| IRConan | fact is, ubuntu-minimal, while only a meta-package, is good to keep installed | 14:29 |
| ruan | for me, ubuntu-desktop was a bit bloated. i didn't need features such as printing. i had probably removed ubuntu-desktop when i started using ubuntu | 14:29 |
| IRConan | it makes it obvious if you're removing something important | 14:29 |
| Pici | IRConan: Only if you intend to upgrade really. | 14:29 |
| IRConan | if you never intend to upgrade then you're doing it very wrong | 14:30 |
| ruan | well how will it mess up an upgrade | 14:31 |
| === D is now known as Guest66999 | ||
| Pici | ruan: Well, if I'm not mistaken, one of the steps that the Ubuntu upgrade tools do is first install ubuntu-minimal if it is not installed, as its a good place to start for determining what dependencies need to be upgraded/installed. | 14:32 |
| ruan | i've got ubuntu-minimal | 14:32 |
| akaedu | yes | 14:33 |
| === om26er_ is now known as om26er | ||
| aeon-ltd | this is really the biggest weak point of ubuntu, the fact that its built all around itself | 14:33 |
| ruan | i've removed 320mb of software and files that i don't use. | 14:34 |
| ruan | or entirely don't need | 14:34 |
| ruan | do i have to reinstall all of it before i can upgrade or what is the problem | 14:35 |
| ruan | dependancies of new software? | 14:36 |
| LjL | ruan: yeah, basically the upgrade tool will make you reinstall all of it | 14:36 |
| ruan | ...and then i'll remove it all again | 14:36 |
| LjL | ruan: most of it, anyway. some things are just recommends, not dependencies, of ubuntu-desktop (but they might get reinstalled anyway, i'm not sure) | 14:36 |
| ruan | :/ | 14:36 |
| aeon-ltd | ruan: my advice use a distro that isn't so packaged :) | 14:37 |
| ruan | though this seems to be the most supported distro | 14:37 |
| aeon-ltd | ruan: i remember going from 8.xx to 9.xx and having to remove cups, etc all over again | 14:37 |
| ruan | maybe arch linux. i heard it doesn't have much | 14:38 |
| aeon-ltd | ruan: +1 | 14:38 |
| LjL | ruan: though you could always, you know, avoid using the upgrade tool and just change sources.list and use apt-get dist-upgrade manually... which is *not supported or recommended*! ;P | 14:38 |
| LjL | (but always worked pretty fine for me, though i haven't upgraded in a long time now) | 14:38 |
| aeon-ltd | ruan: using it now, i have almost absolute control of what is my system :) | 14:38 |
| ruan | looks good though i haven't got any means to install any os | 14:40 |
| ruan | else i'll have to borrow a cdrom drive | 14:40 |
| aeon-ltd | ruan: also you might want to plan 1 hour to do this | 14:40 |

| melter | my employer just switched to microsoft exchange for email; does anyone know a way to read my email on ubuntu? | 14:43 |
| alien260 | melter: Thunderbird will work with exchange | 14:45 |
| wookienz | melter: get a new employer! | 14:45 |
| melter | wookienz: if i can't read my email, i may have no choice | 14:45 |
| slipp3d | melter, what version of exchange? | 14:45 |
| melter | slipp3d: i have no idea. i tried evolution in the 11.04 beta, and it doesn't support the version we're using | 14:46 |
| d3vic3 | melter: use thunderbird, if IMAP is activated for exchange server than you will be able to receive and send emails else you will be able just to read you mail as you may try webmail owa addon | 14:46 |
| melter | d3vic3: imap, pop, and smtp are not enabled, as far as i can tell | 14:47 |
| slipp3d | melter, I would guess that you need to install the mapi plug in ... it works but it's kinda buggy | 14:47 |

| === darkyy is now known as addi | ||
| slipp3d | d3vic3, thunderbird doesn't support mapi so the only options are the mapi plugin or maybe getting wine to run a copy of outlook | 14:52 |

| slipp3d | Thunderbird's SimpleMAPI support is buggy. It also doesn't fully implement MAPIAddress, MAPIDetails and (more importantly) MAPIResolveName (quoted from http://kb.mozillazine.org/MAPI_Support) | 14:54 |
| slipp3d | i had better luck with evolution and the mapi plugin | 14:54 |
| melter | slipp3d: what version of evolution? and how do i install the plugin? | 14:55 |
| slipp3d | melter, the plug in is in the software repos ... do you have the extra repositories turned on ? | 14:56 |

| slipp3d | melter, under settings --> Repositories | 14:58 |
| melter | slipp3d: ok | 14:59 |
| slipp3d | what do you have check | 14:59 |
| melter | on the "Ubuntu Software" tab, everything except "Source code" is checked | 14:59 |
| slipp3d | okay ... | 14:59 |
| slipp3d | close that and type in the search for evolution | 15:00 |
| melter | ok | 15:00 |
| slipp3d | down that list there should be a package called evolution-mapi | 15:00 |
| melter | found it | 15:01 |
| melter | i'll install that | 15:01 |
| slipp3d | install that and evolution should then be able to talk to the exchange server | 15:01 |
| slipp3d | it's a little buggy but you won't lose anything ... but you may have to restart evolution a few times a day... | 15:01 |
| slipp3d | what version is in there melter ? | 15:02 |
| melter | slipp3d: i can live with that :) | 15:02 |

| Superstar | compdoc, yes everything was fine until the final update. Now when I reset it using the methods mentioned in the link above, it doesn't bring back all of the icons. One in particular is the one that lets you select your status and I've added everything from the "Add to Panel" option and none of them are that? | 15:08 |
| melter | slipp3d: it's 0.28-3 | 15:08 |
| compdoc | its possible theres something else going on. did you have to reinstall your OS? | 15:09 |
| slipp3d | melter, okay ... the most current version that I could find and set up was .32... and I think that is going to be in the next release 11.04 | 15:09 |

This line of code was added to the very first line of the index.php page before all php and html scripting. My question... wha | 17:07 |
| cdog69 | t are the ways this is possible? I believe the only way this could happen is it someone actually opened the index.php page in an editor and added the line, correct?

| dbolser | ActionParsnip: what does that mean? | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | LarsTorben: ask and see | 17:50 |
| NET||abuse | arrrg,,,, guys think i was stupid, on friday i must have killed my ubuntu one folder on my work machine, now my ubuntu one folder on my laptop at home is empty? | 17:50 |
| BluesKaj | InvisoBoy, which service ? | 17:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dbolser: no more updates or support in here | 17:50 |
| LarsTorben | I ordered some CDs | 17:50 |
| NET||abuse | can we recover ubuntu one stuff? | 17:50 |
| maxxx | hi | 17:50 |
| LarsTorben | Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit gnome and Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit KDE | 17:50 |
| dbolser | ActionParsnip: so you're saying I should update, not that I can't update? | 17:51 |
| InvisoBoy | sssd is the service I am trying to start | 17:51 |
| lolmatic | whats a nice tool to record the desktop including compiz? | 17:51 |
| Camer0n | anyone?? | 17:51 |
| Camer0n | I've just told ubuntu server to shutdown in 10 mins thinking it way 10 seconds how do I cancel it? | 17:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dbolser: if you want support you should update. You can jup immediately to Lucid from Hardy in one jump (LTS to LTS) | 17:51 |
| maxxx | ActionParsnip, you are always there :)) | 17:51 |
| NET||abuse | lolmatic, i actually just read about one, i have to look up the name. | 17:51 |
| InvisoBoy | Blueskaj, sssd | 17:51 |
| jpds | Camer0n: sudo shutdown -c | 17:51 |
| dbolser | ActionParsnip: ty | 17:51 |
| himay | ##C | 17:51 |
| dbolser | from there I can jump on? | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: just shutdown in 10 seconds and the 10 second reboot will beat the 10 minute time | 17:52 |
| dbolser | and in future the jump may not be supported? | 17:52 |
| Camer0n | it doesn't work | 17:52 |
| alien260 | Camer0n: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?shutdown+8 | 17:52 |
| Camer0n | nothing happens whe mI enter the commands | 17:52 |
| tensorpudding | dbolser: you can upgrade EOL releases but it gets messier | 17:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: there is also: sudo shutdown -c | 17:52 |
| Camer0n | it hasn't got the username thing there | 17:52 |
| dbolser | tensorpudding: ty | 17:52 |
| Camer0n | so I can't enter commands | 17:52 |

| Camer0n | what? | 17:53 |
| Camer0n | idk | 17:53 |
| Camer0n | I am VERY new to ubuntu | 17:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: the command, screen | 17:53 |
| Camer0n | no, what? | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: if you press CTRL+C a few times, do you get the prompt back? | 17:54 |

| tensorpudding | eh, nvm | 17:54 |
| Camer0n | ctrl + c | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: sudo shutdown -c will cancel the shutdown | 17:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: the shutdown is still queued | 17:54 |
| Camer0n | no, it says shutdown cancelled | 17:54 |

| rp2 | i've spent about 20 hours on this problem already | 18:20 |
| mun_ | Exxon, ohoh. | 18:20 |
| mun_ | Exxon, basically this .cls I'm using complains that "You have requested release `2011/02/24' of latex, but only release `2009/09/24' is available. | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | rp2: does: sudo iwlist scan show access points? | 18:21 |
| rp2 | the remaining problem is that I have to use the acerhk module to enable the wifi, and it doesn't appear to be maintained anymoreä | 18:21 |
| mun_ | Exxon, perhaps I should just compile it then? | 18:21 |
| rp2 | i am using the wifi right now | 18:22 |
| Exxon | mun_, you are absolutely right, we share the same e.g.. :) | 18:22 |
| Steven | me too | 18:22 |
| rp2 | my problem is with enabling it in a way that will be future-proof | 18:22 |
| Steven | anybody using gnome3 yet | 18:23 |
| brightspark | At the login screen, there is a menu to choose the keyboard layout. How does one remove unwanted layouts from this? | 18:23 |
| rp2 | at this moment, the acerhkgui app is taking care of that for me ... it offers to download, compile and install acerhk for me when it doesn't find it ... I can live with that, but my non-linux-savvy friend who actually owns this laptop and wants it back probably can't so I#m looking for something better | 18:23 |
| Exxon | brightspark, is that so..? :) | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | rp2: acerhk is in the kernel now :) | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rp2: last I knew | 18:25 |
| brightspark | Exxon. Yes, but it only appears after clicking the username. | 18:26 |
| aranwe | l | 18:28 |
| Exxon | brightspark, why you want to such a thing, Ubuntu is for multi-users simply pre-built, cant really do any thing about it. :) | 18:28 |
| Dr_Willis | You could unionstall languages perhaps. | 18:31 |
| Dr_Willis | byt why bother | 18:31 |
| brightspark | Exxon. I have an option for a keyboard that is no longer attached and want to forestall problems. | 18:32 |
| wolfy_ | how mutch space do you guys recomand for a ubuntu install? | 18:34 |
| leg3nd | depends what your doing | 18:34 |
| wolfy_ | 300 m for /boot and 15 for /? | 18:35 |
| NANAgurke | hi | 18:35 |
| novitololo | I've a question: If I have an Ubuntu and I've forgotten my password, I have to enter in recovery mode and change it right? | 18:35 |
| ruan | i think there was a way to do it with 1 user | 18:35 |
| brightspark | Dr_Willis. It is the same language but a different layout. | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfy_: 6Gb for /, 1x RAM for swap, rest for /home | 18:35 |
| Exxon | brightspark, ^^ ? :) | 18:35 |
| wolfy_ | laptop, esktop/workstation webberownsing, play music, a mysql,apcahe,php for local webdevelopment not server | 18:35 |
| ZenMasta | is it possible to run wget behind? I tried adding & to the end of my command but it didn't work | 18:35 |
| tensorpudding | wolfy_: 15 GB | 18:36 |
| leg3nd | wolfy_, you dont need a seperate boot partition unless your doing full disc encryption | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfy_: I assume more than 2Gb RAM | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfy_: i'd have a seperate partition for your sql,apache, php etc | 18:36 |
| wolfy_ | uhm, how would you make the partition, primary, logical, extended or with that dinamic space allocation? | 18:37 |
| wolfy_ | ActionParsnip, how com that you have a separate part for sql, apche etc? | 18:37 |
| pumeust | i'm trying to recover 'HPFS - NTFS' partition with testdisk. it says boot sector status is 'Bad', backup boot sector status is 'OK', 'Sectors are not identical.' i click on 'list' and it says 'Can't open filesystem. Filesystem seems damaged.' so do i click on 'Backup BS' or 'Rebuild BS'? | 18:37 |
| leg3nd | wolfy_, Becuase you said its a dev enviroment and it makes sense if you mess something up to not lose all your web work | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfy_: create a partition then set the mount point as the folder which would hold the sql databases | 18:38 |
| brightspark | Exxon. I don't want keys being mapped twice by users who don't know what they're doing. | 18:38 |
| Dr_Willis | wolfy_: i find 10gb for / to small. :) unless you put tmp or some other dirs elsewhere. | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfy_: make 3 primary partitions and 1 extended, you can then creaate as many logical partitions as you need. Plan your partitions | 18:39 |
| wolfy_ | yes I wish to work on my website localy the upload to server, it's wordpress based | 18:39 |
| Exxon | brightspark, are you a admin ? | 18:39 |
| wildc4rd | evenin' all | 18:39 |
| leg3nd | i agree with Dr_Willis, people always tell me like 10gb and i end up getting hosed by something or other later on. | 18:39 |
| Dr_Willis | I easially filled up / - with some DVD reencoding work that filled up /tmp/ | 18:39 |
| brightspark | Exxon. Yes, admin and primary user. | 18:40 |
| leg3nd | yea, good example for me was not specifying vmware server location in /home. /var/lib/ filled up quick with 20 VMs. All depends what your doing. | 18:40 |
| novitololo | I've a question... How do I set the root password? | 18:43 |
| novitololo | :O | 18:43 |
| novitololo | I wasn't asked when I configured the system. | 18:43 |
| maco | novitololo: generally, you dont | 18:43 |
| genii-around | !root | novitololo | 18:43 |
| ubottu | novitololo: 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 | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | novitololo: you don't need it, just use sudo | 18:43 |
| novitololo | awesome. thanks ubottu. | 18:43 |
| novitololo | ok, that's the answer I was looking | 18:43 |
| wolfy_ | novitololo, sudo su | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | novitololo: sudo -i not sudo su | 18:43 |
| Dr_Willis | dont us3e sudo su.. use sudo -i as needed. | 18:43 |
| novitololo | what's the difference? | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | novitololo: you can get all the access you can ever need with sudo (and gksudo for gui apps) | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | novitololo: use sudo -i, forget abotu sudo su, :) | 18:44 |
| novitololo | ok | 18:44 |
| novitololo | this came to my mind | 18:44 |
| wolfy_ | :)) | 18:44 |
| novitololo | because a friend of mine, forgot his password | 18:44 |
| novitololo | and I read about entering in recovery mode | 18:44 |
| lcb | any known good fix to get tvtime audio working ? | 18:44 |
| novitololo | that means we are entering as root? | 18:44 |
| novitololo | so we can change passwords | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | You can go to recovery/single user mode and use 'sudo passwd username' and set a new one | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | actually you may allready be root in single user mode.. i rarely need it any more | 18:45 |
| novitololo | Dr_Willis | 18:45 |
| novitololo | My doubts were | 18:45 |
| novitololo | that I run recovery mode | 18:45 |
| novitololo | and I didn't have to set any password | 18:46 |
| leg3nd | Dr_Willis, I think you are in single user mode. | 18:46 |
| novitololo | to change that user password. | 18:46 |
| FloodBot3 | novitololo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | novitololo: hold shift at boot and you will be able to set any password by running: passwd username | 18:46 |
| Superstar | Does anyone know of a lightweight proxy that supports IRC, web and email in one? | 18:46 |
| maco | Dr_Willis: yes you are root in single user mode | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Superstar: polipo | 18:46 |
| pumeust | testdisk says 'A valid NTFS Boot sector must be present in order to access any data; even if the partition is not bootable.' does this mean if a hard drive i'm trying to recover data from has no OS, the data cant be recovered? | 18:46 |
| wolfy_ | how can I change the font;s from tty? | 18:46 |
| novitololo | ActionParsnip: That's it. How is that secure? | 18:46 |
| Dr_Willis | wolfy_: change what fontss? | 18:46 |
| maco | novitololo: how is physical access ever secure? | 18:46 |
| wolfy_ | fonts | 18:46 |
| Dr_Willis | wolfy_: and i asked change what fonts? change them how? | 18:47 |
| leg3nd | maco, it isnt. even with full disc 256 AES. | 18:47 |
| BluesKaj | lcb, unfortunately tvtime audio has been a problem for yrs , usually the soundcard output is connected to the tvcard audio in, and one configures the capture ctls in alsamixer to make it work | 18:47 |
| maco | leg3nd: bingo | 18:47 |
| novitololo | maco: you are right. | 18:47 |
| novitololo | thanks for this learning sharing | 18:48 |
| Remun-J66 | noscript ABE prevents the use of CUPS web interface. Was trying to share my local printer in my home network. Anyone a suggestion? | 18:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Remun-J66: use some differnbt browser to access the cups web interface... | 18:48 |
| wolfy_ | when I hit ctrl+alt+F1,F2 etc. change them as, verdand, times new roman, etc. I would like to have them as in gentoo if is possible, collored | 18:48 |
| Superstar | ActionParsnip: Thanks love but I don't understand the term 'cache'ing proxy | 18:48 |

| ethenheart | I am not sure. How do I check? @ ruan | 19:41 |
| ruan | ethenheart: sudo fdisk -l | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | L-Strife89: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10045516 | 19:41 |
| ethenheart | ruan: NTFS | 19:42 |
| orin | Hello. | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | likki: sure but if you do it in Windows you willl know which partition it is as it will be named with the dumb drive letters windows likes to use and you are probably familiar with, Linux doesn't see those | 19:42 |
| bodai | hi there.i would like to transfer files between ubuntu and win7.installed samba,but when I go to network places,it cannot mount location | 19:42 |
| bodai | what can I do? | 19:42 |
| likki | Okay, lastly, after I install ubuntu, would I be given windows 7 boot manager or ubuntu boot manager when i turn the computer on? | 19:42 |
| maco | likki: ubuntu's | 19:43 |
| ethenheart | ruan: more ironically, my win7 cannot even read my external hard-disk, while I can open this external hard-disk in ubuntu. lol | 19:43 |
| maco | likki: assuming you do a normal install. if wubi, then windows' | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | bodai: are you accessing win7 from Ubuntu, or the other way? | 19:43 |
| likki | Is it possible to change the boot manager to windows 7 instead? | 19:43 |
| ruan | ethenheart: what happens if you mount the disk using ntfs-3g | 19:43 |
| orin | So....after running update manager today, my system now doesn't load any of the drivers, or start x...just dumps me in login prompt and makes me cry. | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | likki: Win7 bootloader CAn do it but grub is FAR easier | 19:43 |
| L-Strife89 | http://pastie.org/1788028 | 19:44 |
| ruan | ethenheart: uhm. get the drive label such as /dev/sda | 19:44 |
| L-Strife89 | ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1788028 | 19:44 |
| bodai | I can acces my shares from nowhere | 19:44 |
| Superstar | What IRC client does everyone use on their Ubuntu? | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | bodai: which way!!!? Are you trying to access windows 7 shares from Ubuntu. Or ubuntu shares from Win7. It's important | 19:44 |
| likki | Ok, how would I change it to win7 bootloader to default boot manager? | 19:44 |
| ruan | Superstar: irssi here | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Superstar: pidgin | 19:44 |
| ethenheart | ruan: I can mount the my external hardisk, I can read every thing but, I cannot delete this .exe file from it. | 19:44 |
| orin | Superstar: irssi | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | likki: not sure, ask in ##windows | 19:44 |
| BrumDart | Superstar: xchat for me | 19:45 |
| Newa | Superstar: xchat | 19:45 |
| bodai | ubuntu shares from win7 | 19:45 |
| ruan | ethenheart: yes but ntfs-3g is a different driver. it may work | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | likki: I strongly advise you use grub, it will be managed for you and will work fine | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | bodai: ok did you share any folders in samba? | 19:45 |
| likki | I find win7 bootloader to be much simpler. | 19:45 |
| ethenheart | ruan, can you please tell me how to do it? | 19:45 |
| bodai | yes | 19:45 |
| Newa | Superstar: or you can try /ctcp #ubuntu VERSION | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | likki: grub is more flexible | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | bodai: please put my name at the start of lines addressed to me | 19:46 |
| Superstar | orin, ruan, actionparsnip, brumdart, newa - empathy doesn't do justice then | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | bodai: ok, if you run: smbtree on the ubuntu system, do you see the shares? | 19:46 |
| likki | I'm more familiar with win7 bootloader and I already know how to add ubuntu to the boot menu on it. | 19:46 |
| ruan | ethenheart: first get the device name of the drive, then: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdX /mnt | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Superstar: I've used pidgin since before when it was Gaim, don't plan to change any time soon | 19:46 |
| ruan | ethenheart: sdX being the device name | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | likki: then i'd ask in ##windows | 19:47 |
| likki | Ok, thank you all for answering my questions. Appreciate it. | 19:47 |
| Camer0n | how do I see my second hard drive in ubuntu server | 19:47 |
| Newa | Superstar: depends what you want. I'm sure empathy can handle the basics just fine | 19:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: mount it | 19:47 |
| L-Strife89 | ActionParsnip: I'm feeling good about that thread on the forums ... rebooting. | 19:47 |
| Camer0n | thanks! | 19:47 |
| orin | Anyone? | 19:48 |
| Newa | personally, I'm on 40+ channels on 10+ networks, so the channel bar on the left is quite essential. Xchat's tweak to remember past chat histories after reboots is nice too | 19:48 |
| orin | Today's system update broke my main box. :( | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: you mount the partition in it, not the drive. If you want it mounted at boot then add the partition appropriatly in /etc/fstab | 19:48 |
| ruan | orin: can you do startx? | 19:48 |
| orin | I asked it politely to do that, it yelled at me about "Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) | 19:49 |
| ethenheart | ruan: mounted with ntfs-3g and did "sudo rm -rf avira_antivir_personal_en.exe" and got error "rm: cannot remove `avira_antivir_personal_en.exe': Input/output error" | 19:49 |
| orin | Also, it mentioned (EE) No drivers available | 19:49 |
| ruan | ethenheart: what if you do just rm -f avira---.exe | 19:50 |
| Superstar | orin: are you dual booting? | 19:50 |
| Jordan_U | ethenheart: Youre hard drive is likely going bad then. | 19:50 |
| orin | Nope. | 19:50 |
| Camer0n | how do I see the folders in my home directory, ls only shows the files | 19:50 |
| ActionParsnip | orin: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dkms | 19:50 |
| Jordan_U | ethenheart: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? | 19:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: ls -a | 19:50 |
| orin | Superstar, ruan, it's not just x, ifconfig tells me I have no network card, either. | 19:50 |
| ruan | ethenheart: also, you might want to do a filesystem check of the ntfs drive | 19:50 |
| Camer0n | the folders still aren't there | 19:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: if you run: pwd are you in /home/$USER | 19:51 |
| orin | ActionParsnip: did that. Accomplished nothing. | 19:51 |
| Superstar | orin: do you know if a driver was in the list of updates? | 19:51 |
| ActionParsnip | orin: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install dkms | 19:51 |
| Camer0n | still not there :/ | 19:52 |
| orin | Superstar: No. :( | 19:52 |

| Jordan_U | ethenheart: You can check the SMART status with System > Administration > Disk Utility (which should confirm that the drive is dying). | 19:59 |
| hwilde | maco but which one | 19:59 |
| maco | hwilde: oh, you dont know which one is missing a dep? | 19:59 |
| hwilde | maco, I dunno, when I try to apt-get install it says run apt-get -f | 19:59 |
| Camer0n | how do I find the filesystem type using terminal?? | 19:59 |

| Camer0n | how do I mount the sata port 2 of my virtual box ubuntu server? | 20:03 |
| maco | hwilde: whats wrong with letting it finish? did you decide you eont want whetever you were trying to install? if so, the package to purge would be the one you were trying to install thats trying to pull all this in | 20:03 |
| orin | ActionParsnip: can't reinstall dkms, given that I have no internets. | 20:03 |
| hwilde | maco, it doesn't have internet, so I want to remove whatever is giving this error | 20:03 |
| maco | hwilde: ooooh | 20:03 |
| L-Strife89 | ActionParsnip: ... Well, so much for success. X refused to start at all with those xorg.conf settings. | 20:03 |
| maco | hwilde: ok, so what did you try to install ? | 20:03 |
| bipul | http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ i have this one i wants to change a good one | 20:03 |
| bipul | like us or uk | 20:04 |
| L-Strife89 | ActionParsnip: Ultimately I renamed the file. | 20:04 |
| bipul | is it possible ? | 20:04 |
| Camer0n | how do I mount the sata port 2 of my virtual box ubuntu server??!! | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | orin: blacklist nvidia as I said and reboot and it won't load, you will then use the open driver | 20:04 |
| hwilde | maco, it's not my system or I would know obviously.... I copied over a .deb package I want to install but I can't now because it's f'd up. so how do I find out what package is telling me to run -f install | 20:04 |
| maco | hwilde: are you sure its not the deb package? | 20:04 |
| ethenheart | Actually, Jordan_U, I just want to delete that .exe file anyhow.. | 20:04 |
| === derick_ is now known as Guest43860 | ||
| orin | ActionParsnip: did that. Blacklisted nvidia, rebooted, still got thrown into command prompt, with no X-y goodness. | 20:04 |
| hwilde | maco, yes.... how do I find out what package is causing it to suggest running apt-get install -f | 20:04 |
| Camer0n | how do I mount the sata port 2 of my virtual box ubuntu server??!! | 20:04 |
| maco | hwilde: like maybe it depends on that stuff thats listed and so cant get installed because no internet | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | bipul: use the software centre and you can change software source | 20:05 |
| maco | hwilde: aptitude why <name of one of the packages in the list> could tell you what's depending on it, if aptitude is installed | 20:05 |
| maco | Camer0n: what do you mean sata port 2? | 20:05 |
| maco | Camer0n: try rephrasing your question to be more descriptive | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | orin: ok then blacklist nouveau too, you will use the nv driver then, failing that, blacklist nv and you will use vesa | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | orin: if you made an xorg.conf file then rename it | 20:06 |
| bipul | ActionParsnip, i heard that to become a good linux user you need to do every thing from Terminal | 20:06 |
| === Guest43860 is now known as schoappied | ||
| maco | hwilde: sudo less /var/log/apt/term.log could show you output from previous uses of apt to see what was interrupted | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | bipul: not true although it can help | 20:06 |
| Camer0n | it's a SATA controler apparently, in the storage settings of virtualbox and it's called sata port 2. How do I mount it, I assume it would be the sda2 drive? I have just created it so I'm not sure if it's cot a filesystem type | 20:06 |
| bipul | ActionParsnip, ok | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: sda is the first drive, sda2 is the second partition on the drive | 20:07 |
| maco | Camer0n: it wouldnt be sda. sda is the hard disk. perhaps sdb? | 20:07 |
| maco | Camer0n: sudo fdisk -l should list all available disks and partitions on them | 20:07 |
| bipul | ActionParsnip, so whats you suggestion for me TO become a good linux user | 20:07 |
| Camer0n | well theres 2 different virtual hardrives | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: sudo parted -l will show you the partitions. As long as the partition is mounted then you can let virtualbox access the mount point | 20:08 |
| rhizmoe | is there any chance of onscreen video controls in rhythmbox? or, an in-window video player so at least focus doesn't shift around? | 20:08 |

| ActionParsnip | Camer0n: if they aren't partitioned you won't be able to store data on it. If there is a single partition taking 100% of the space it is still partitioned | 20:09 |
| maco | Camer0n: need to put a filesystem (whehter inside a partition or not, i dont think it matters) on them before you can mount them | 20:09 |

| Camer0n | okay then | 20:09 |

| Camer0n | okay, how do I do that?? | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | davvs: using custom commads | 20:18 |

| gdoteof | can i get get php4 on ubuntu 10.04? | 20:21 |
| dtcrshr | gdoteof, backporting | 20:22 |
| gdoteof | php isn't an installlation candidate. php5 works fine. php4 says it is referred to but has no installation candidate | 20:22 |
| Pici | Camer0n: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Command Line Partitioning | 20:22 |
| Camer0n | this?? http://www.ehow.com/how_1000631_hard-drive-linux.html | 20:22 |
| Camer0n | oh okay | 20:22 |
| Pici | dtcrshr: backporting is for installing newer versions of packages on older releases of ubuntu, not installing older software. | 20:22 |
| charles | which log file do i look at for sound errors? | 20:22 |
| gdoteof | dtcrshr: uh.. can you be more specific? | 20:23 |

| NET||abuse | i am possibly in trouble here, does anyone know if you can recover files from ubuntuone? | 20:23 |
| NET||abuse | the whole ubuntuOne directory was deleted in work ( i was leaving) and it seems to have replicated down to my home pc, i had config files and a cv in there | 20:23 |
| NET||abuse | really need them back | 20:23 |
| Pici | NET||abuse: You may want to ask on #ubuntuone too | 20:23 |
| NET||abuse | thanks, will do | 20:24 |
| gdoteof | I have an ancient php4 app that needs to be used by one person | 20:24 |
| charles | anyone give me advice on fixing my sound? | 20:24 |
| gdoteof | i was porting it piece by piece as he needed it, but i just found a rabbit hole | 20:25 |
| NET||abuse | gdoteof, ok?,, probably a ##php question, not ubuntu related. | 20:25 |
| NET||abuse | gdoteof, but what's this rabbit hole? is there a mad hatter and tarts? | 20:25 |
| lolmatic | charles: what is your problem? | 20:25 |
| gdoteof | NET||abuse: I don't have a question for #php. i would like to get php4 as easily as possible onto ubuntu | 20:26 |
| charles | lolmatic: speakers cut out halfway through the login sound and never come back, headphones ok. ALC259 with ubuntu 10.10 netbook ed. Anyone know how i can find out the cause? (suddenly started doing this yesterday after i pluggen in a USB drive) | 20:26 |
| gdoteof | it's distro specific question | 20:26 |
| NET||abuse | gdoteof, ahh, pinning in ubuntu packages. | 20:26 |
| NET||abuse | however i've only done that for php 5.2, not 4 | 20:26 |
| NET||abuse | not that far back | 20:26 |
| Pici | gdoteof: You may be able to find a PPA for php4, but there is't an official package availabe for that as far as I know. | 20:26 |
| lolmatic | charles: unfortunately i cant help you since i am a beginner, too | 20:26 |
| bipul | whats the command to install w32codecs in my ubuntu 10.10 | 20:27 |
| NET||abuse | gdoteof, i can give you a script that will allow you to install as much php specific stuff (modules and such) and then it will roll back versions re-installing older ones, and pin them for you. | 20:27 |
| NET||abuse | gdoteof, give me a minute to locate it. | 20:27 |
| Pici | NET||abuse: php4 isn't available in the repositories at all, its not a matter of pinning in this case. | 20:27 |
| lolmatic | sound on linux is really hard for beginners, theres oss, alsa, jack, pulseaudio etc | 20:28 |
| gdoteof | Pici: ok that i guess answers my question. i will just have to compile | 20:28 |
| charles | damnit - i guess i'll have to enjoy my porn in silence then.... scoured the web far and wide but cant find a fix. | 20:28 |
| the67pc | Galerinha | 20:28 |
| Pici | gdoteof: You may want to look for a PPA as well: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 20:28 |
| lolmatic | charles: try some ascii porn in case your display fails, too | 20:28 |
| charles | does anyone which log file related to pulseaudio errors? | 20:29 |
| NET||abuse | Pici, ah, not even possible then, cheers, wasn't sure. | 20:29 |
| NET||abuse | gdoteof, i'm afriad you will have to either continue porting or find a distro that still had php4 packages | 20:30 |
| NET||abuse | gdoteof, i vote port | 20:30 |
| gdoteof | NET||abuse: yeah that's what i started out with. but it's just sucking my time. it's legacy and only used in house | 20:31 |
| NET||abuse | gdoteof, is it developed in house or is it a really old off the shelf solution | 20:31 |
| NET||abuse | ? | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | lolmatic: sound works out of the box here and has done since year 2000 | 20:32 |

| meganerd | SoulRaven: it really depends on how much time you want to put in, and what data you want. Why you want it is important. For example, for tracking downtime you might want to also look into things like nagios or opsview | 20:53 |
| Guest93631 | LOL | 20:53 |

| meganerd | to get something like cacti working, generally we use SNMP to actually grab the data. If you install cacti on the actual box that has the VPN interface you don't have to do this. | 20:55 |

| tortoise | very frustrating. | 20:58 |
| meganerd | SoulRaven: cacti can handle this, although I don't know why you would bother with virtual interfaces | 20:59 |

| k_89 | hi.... can someone tell me why i cannot download the video in this video tag using wget : <video src="http://a.blip.tv/play/gcMVgrHyTAA.m4v" width="100%" height="100%" allowfullscreen controls></video> | 21:09 |
| dashx | No. I am going to just cp /boot/grub to /boot/boot/grub and it should fix that but honestly its a real pain im the ass because synaptic makes kernel changes to /boot/grub then I have to manually cp it. | 21:09 |
| ballison | exit | 21:09 |
| sevith | dashx, Have you tried re running the grub-install ? | 21:10 |
| B-r00t | k_89: because you must have url for video, not embed code | 21:10 |
| sevith | dashx, Im assuming that may take care of multiple problems? | 21:11 |
| dashx | I have /boot on a separate partition. I haven't tried rerunning grub install. I probably am doing it wrong. | 21:11 |
| dashx | Every time i do grub install it still uses boot boot grub | 21:11 |
| sevith | dashx, What is your partition table layout? hda sda??? Details? | 21:11 |

| chai0116 | i have a bash question: i am syncing my ipod with gnupod through the cli. i need to pass a directory argument to gnupod telling it where to find my music. the problem is that it doesn't search the sub directories of my music folders (i think). basically how do i specify to search all subdirectories for *.mp3 files in bash? | 22:20 |
| Greko | that's good news :) | 22:20 |

| Starminn | qikki: It's used for things like hibernation and such. | 22:22 |
| VCoolio | qikki: if you want to suspend/hibernate, you need it; else, not really, but if you can spare the hd space, add 1 gb swap; it's like RAM but then on hard disk | 22:22 |
| faryshta | qikki, yes you need it. | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | qikki: its used when you run out of ram, its like the page file i windows. If you have 4Gb RAM and only do basic web browsing and chat then you can probably miss swap out. If you do then you won't be able to hibernate etc | 22:22 |

| ActionParsnip | Starminn: ok then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove | 22:31 |
| white_magic | hylian: no clue, sorry | 22:31 |
| hylian | meganerd: man, not for console. for sugar. I am logged into sugar, (ctrl alt f7) and I don't know how to log out | 22:31 |
| white_magic | how can i make it so when i mount an NTFS volume to, let's say /media/myFS, the corresponding default [shortcut?] on the desktop also reads 'myFS' and not something like 'System Volume'? | 22:31 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: Done. | 22:31 |
| maco | hylian: did you use gdm to login? cuz then ctrl+alt+f1 "sudo service gdm restart" would do it | 22:31 |
| hylian | white_magic: if your using gnome, you can actually just rename it, but if this is a removable drive, it might go away when you remove it. | 22:32 |
| hylian | maco: thank you man! | 22:32 |

| omegalimit | Anyone? | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: ok then there are no updates to get... | 22:33 |
| chai0116 | kwtm thank you | 22:33 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: yo | 22:33 |
| white_magic | VCoolio: i'm gonna look into labels. This is what one of the drives' /etc/fstab line looks like: UUID=BCA8CDD8A8CD90F6 /media/win_C ntfs defaults 0 2 | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: i'm not sure where the GUI is getting the updates from, the cli says there are none | 22:34 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, do you work in the ubuntu-foums also ? | 22:34 |
| Starminn | ActionParsnip: Right, that's where it's losing me. sudo apt-get upgrade skips over those packages (but updated everything else it needed to), while Update Manager is telling me that there are new Gnome3 libs (which is understandable since Ubuntu 10.10 currently has the 2. something.)( | 22:34 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: i post sometimes,I don't 'work'for them | 22:35 |
| VCoolio | white_magic: sudo blkid then instead of UUID=blah use LABEL=blah, you can use gparted to add a label to the ntfs thing if not there yet | 22:35 |
| white_magic | interesting | 22:35 |
| hiexpo | ActionParsnip, oh ok | 22:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Starminn: then I'd ask the ppa maintainer, you are using a 3rd party ppa | 22:35 |

| omegalimit | ? | 22:37 |
| Xethron | Heya guys! We are setting up a petition for Google Picasa to run on Linux. Google ceased the development on a windows binary of Picasa that was tweaked to run on wine due to lack of interest. We want to see if we can get Google to rethink this, and get them to create a native Linux version... Please join the cause. http://goo.gl/OWMv6 | 22:37 |
| Xyeklops79 | going to check it out genii..ill get back to u on what i find out | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | omegalimit: isn't there something about helper apps in the settings | 22:37 |
| omegalimit | In Firefox? | 22:37 |
| white_magic | meganerd: will changing an NTFS label not affect windows in any way? what if i change the system volume label for a Windows 7 volume? | 22:37 |
| hackel | Xethron: that is really stupid. Picasa is a proprietary, very closed-source application. Why would we want it to run on Linux? | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | omegalimit: ....yes | 22:38 |
| Xethron | hacked, because there is nothing that really compares to it... | 22:38 |
| maco | hackel: because it has features someone might like | 22:38 |
| omegalimit | There is but it nothing is in the list except Totem and I can't for the life of me remember how to grab something else | 22:38 |
| maco | hackel: no need to be nasty about it | 22:38 |
| ActionParsnip | omegalimit: http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/helper-applications.html | 22:39 |
| Xethron | hehe, thank you maco | 22:39 |
| genii-around | Xethron: You may want to consider moving it off of facebook. Many like myself don't use it. | 22:39 |
| VCoolio | white_magic: labels don't harm | 22:39 |

| Xethron | genii-around, I will... Will set up a proper petition once I see there is a need for one... | 22:39 |
| white_magic | VCoolio; thanks | 22:40 |
| Xethron | rww, its for a good cause :P | 22:40 |
| rww | Xethron: I know. It's still not allowed in here :P | 22:40 |
| hackel | Xethron: F-spot is working quite well, Shotwell is awesome and developing rapidly, Darkroom is also decent. There are countless others... There's no need for any proprietary photo management software on Linux. | 22:40 |
| Greko | Let me ask a question in another way :) how to make python2.6-minimal extend to maximal | 22:40 |
| hylian | does anyone know hot to log out of sugar? | 22:40 |
| white_magic | is there a way to search for package names through commandline? | 22:40 |
| Greko | ubuntu 10.04 lucid | 22:40 |
| maco | hackel: they all have different featuresets and interfaces. what someone uses is up to personal preference. now please lets drop it | 22:40 |
| Xethron | hacked, I didn't say there arn't others, I just said there arn't others that can compare... | 22:41 |
| hylian | or a worldwide log out command for f7 term? | 22:41 |
| rww | white_magic: apt-cache search searchtermhere | 22:41 |
| maco | hylian: restarting the display manager didnt work? | 22:41 |
| white_magic | rww: ty | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | omegalimit: also check the post by Gerard Barberi http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-266117.html | 22:41 |
| hackel | maco: I'm not being nasty. Unfortunately many (especially Linux-newbie) Ubuntu users don't seem to have a clue why proprietary software is bad. | 22:41 |
| xangua | white_magic: and aptitude search | 22:41 |
| hylian | maco: no, it actually helped with something else, but no. | 22:41 |
| Xethron | hacked, Picasa has some mighty features... And I haven't found it on any other photo sorting software | 22:41 |
| maco | hackel: let me be a bit clearer: calling someone's idea stupid isn't very nice | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | hackel: its not always bad | 22:41 |
| hackel | maco: Personal preferences are fine. Those people should use a proprietary operating system, however. | 22:41 |
| maco | hackel: that was what i meant about "no need to be nasty" | 22:41 |
| hylian | and calling someone elses idea stupid also doesn't accomplish anything. | 22:42 |
| LjL | how about continuing this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 22:42 |
| maco | hackel: this is offtopic. if you want to discuss the relative merits of using ONLY proprietary software versus meeting halfway and using a mix, you are welcome to bring that up in #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:42 |
| Xethron | hacked, getting some of the market into linux is very good for us... Esp someone like Google... | 22:42 |
| hackel | maco: It's not off topic for Ubuntu in any way whatsoever! Nothing could be more ON-topic! | 22:42 |

| qwebirc37767 | well i would think my question is more related to linux file permisions than anything give me a second to type this out | 22:50 |
| qwebirc37767 | I have a directory that i would like to share to the network i would like to make it so Group A has full access to this directory while Group B can only read / edit /create but cannot delete files | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | hylian: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf look in that file, make a backup copy before playing | 22:52 |
| maco | qwebirc37767: linux file permissions can't do that. delete, edit, and create are all considered "write" | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | qwebirc37767: if you use /etc/samba/smb.conf you can do that easily | 22:52 |

| zvacet | wolfy_: in case you want to upgrade with cd use alternate cd it is just 2 times in one year | 23:11 |
| codex84 | and restart the pc | 23:11 |
| codex84 | ? | 23:11 |
| wolfy_ | so, then I can go with 10.10 now and upgrade in april to 11.xx, and next year to 12.xx? | 23:12 |
| wolfy_ | whitout burning .iso? | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | wolfy_: its always .04 and .10 | 23:13 |

| _SKiTZO | hi! My audio is choppy in 10.10. It plays but takes pauses where it repeats a buffer a few times before continuing. This happens while playing all osrts of media, from youtube videos to totem playing videos to shoutcast streams in vlc etc. any clues to how to debug this? | 23:21 |
| duali | Can someone tell me about how to fix the volume I have the volume at maximum but I am still recieving minimum audio | 23:21 |
| codex84 | alright no problem | 23:21 |
| codex84 | see what happends | 23:21 |
| amanda__ | ok apparently it's going to be a little while lol | 23:22 |
| penguinbait | do AMD64 images cover Intel? | 23:22 |
| zvacet | amanda__: under synaptic>repositories at the bottom put upgrade to LTS | 23:22 |
| john75077 | for exim, what is the best way to call it to configure it? | 23:22 |
| Camer0n | what does the "xvfz" part do in "tar xvfz xxamp.tar.gz"?? | 23:22 |
| amanda__ | k zvacet, it's upgrading now | 23:22 |
| codex84 | lol | 23:22 |
| maco | Camer0n: x = extract, v = verbose (tell us what its doing) f = folder z = compression (and is unnecessary because tar knows to do that itself anyway) | 23:22 |
| rww | Camer0n: x means extract, v means verbose, f means from a (specified file instead of standard input), z means it's a gzip file | 23:22 |
| _SKiTZO | duali: there are many volume controls. you software, the relevant alsa mixer channels, the master alsa volume, the computer's hardware volume and any volume controls in your stereo/hardware setup | 23:23 |
| rww | and maco is speedier than me. | 23:23 |
| penguinbait | I want to download 64bit for intel cpu but I have choices of i368 or AMD64 ? | 23:23 |
| Camer0n | thanks! | 23:23 |
| maco | Camer0n: for more info, see "man tar" | 23:23 |
| rww | penguinbait: amd64 | 23:23 |
| penguinbait | 386 that is | 23:23 |
| rww | penguinbait: despite the name, it isn't amd-only. | 23:23 |
| Camer0n | how do I remove a directory | 23:23 |
| penguinbait | why not just say 64 then? | 23:23 |
| Camer0n | thank you | 23:23 |
| duali | what are the commands to access to them _SKiTZO ? | 23:23 |
| penguinbait | thanks | 23:23 |
| _SKiTZO | duali: just make sure all volumes in the chain are up | 23:23 |
| _SKiTZO | duali: in the commandline use alsamixer | 23:23 |
| maco | Camer0n: if it's empty "rmdir directory" if its not "rm -rf directory" | 23:23 |
| codex84 | dl amd 64 | 23:24 |
| codex84 | thats what i havee | 23:24 |
| Camer0n | thanks! | 23:24 |
| rww | penguinbait: because "64-bit" is ambiguous. There are rather a lot of 64-bit architectures. | 23:24 |
| _SKiTZO | duali: when you are in there use arrows to chooose channel and change volume. tip: tab switches from input to output channels | 23:24 |
| rww | penguinbait: amd64 uniquely identifies the architecture that that ISO and your computer share. | 23:25 |
| erUSUL | maco: f = folder ? f = file | 23:25 |
| penguinbait | I thought mine was IA64? | 23:25 |
| maco | erUSUL: the manpage will settle it | 23:26 |
| rww | penguinbait: Unlikely. Which CPU do you have? | 23:26 |
| penguinbait | just a core2 duo | 23:26 |
| rww | penguinbait: Core 2 isn't IA-64. | 23:26 |
| cybrhuman | penguinbait: that is amd64 | 23:26 |
| Camer0n | what does verbose mean in linux? | 23:26 |
| rww | penguinbait: At risk of being thwapped by maco for advertising, http://rww.name/articles/architecture.html explains all of this :) | 23:26 |
| maco | Camer0n: print out what youre doing | 23:26 |
| erUSUL | maco: i am sure it is file :) | 23:27 |
| maco | erUSUL: ok :) | 23:27 |
| Camer0n | okay, so without it you just wouldn't see it? | 23:27 |
| cybrhuman | Camer0n: in the case of tar it would not tell what files it has processed. | 23:27 |
| Amzgon | hi all | 23:27 |
| metallico | hi guys, i cant get dhcp3-server to start on boot.. i can start it manually (no errors) but it doesnt start automatically although, I got it in the startup scripts | 23:27 |
| Camer0n | so what does it do? | 23:28 |
| === wissem is now known as wissem- | ||
| Camer0n | what would happen without it? | 23:28 |
| maco | Camer0n: itd be silent | 23:29 |
| Camer0n | but it wouldn't make a difference? | 23:29 |
| maco | Camer0n: instead of listing all the files as it unpacks them. (itd also be faster since its not having to do this) | 23:29 |
| genii-around | metallico: I think you need to allow it to start by editing /etc/default/dhcp3-server | 23:29 |
| Camer0n | thanks | 23:29 |
| rww | Camer0n: verbosity doesn't affect what the program actually does, just how much output it gives. | 23:29 |
| Camer0n | okay | 23:29 |

| rww | codex84: Yes. Look into ufw (command-line) or gufw (GNOME graphical) | 23:32 |
| rww | !ufw | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 23:32 |

| aeon-ltd | Xyeklops79: pentium 2, so i586 or lower, ubuntu server should work | 23:42 |
| YankDownUnder | Xyeklops79, Mate, I'd honestly refer you to get an older version of Ubuntu | 23:42 |
| genii-around | metallico: There won't be. That file just tells upstart to run the old sysvinit stuff in the usual way. The actual startup script is still in /etc/init.d/ like the old way | 23:42 |

| mavromatis | google it if you want | 23:45 |
| metallico | just the normal "update-rc.d dhcp3-server defaults" | 23:45 |

| faryshta | How can I make webcams work on amsn? | 23:47 |
| faryshta | !ubottu | faryshta | 23:48 |
| ubottu | faryshta, please see my private message | 23:48 |
| braintorch | mavromatis: thanks. I'll try to google more. | 23:48 |
| raido | metallico: your right, update.rc-d knows what to do. You dont use the path to the binary. | 23:49 |
| genii-around | metallico: Hm. Is the ethernet adapter you have it set to use on a static IP ? | 23:49 |
| metallico | it is, yeah | 23:49 |
| ggg3 | google that for a great answer | 23:49 |
| braintorch | abiss27: I belive Gufw is a frontend to ufw. | 23:49 |
| metallico | but it's set through kde's connections managment GUI | 23:50 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | hell is it possible to check if i have openGL correctly installed? | 23:50 |
| abiss27 | ok thanks | 23:50 |
| metallico | i was reading somewhere, it doesnt like ubuntu's netowork manager | 23:50 |
| braintorch | KINGOFSWORDS: try glxinfo. | 23:51 |
| genii-around | metallico: Ah, that might be the issue. Maybe manually config it in /etc/network/interfaces and then add a directive like: up /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start at the end | 23:51 |
| Xyeklops79 | what operating system should work fine on a compaq proliant 3000 pentium 2..here are the specs if you want to take a look http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/10040_div/10040_div.HTML | 23:51 |
| raido | metallico: are you trying to run a dhcp server on your box? | 23:51 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | ty braintorch | 23:51 |
| Xyeklops79 | been working on this for days and getting nowhere | 23:51 |
| abiss27 | ty braintorch | 23:52 |
| metallico | raido, yes genii-around will try that just now just give me a minute to learn the syntax | 23:52 |
| ggg3 | static IP, instead of using the GUI do this. It's actually easier - http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=2305 | 23:52 |
| ggg3 | you might learn something to boot | 23:53 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | glxinfo brings up lots of data i dont understand:s | 23:53 |
| Jeruvy | Xyeklops79: you may want to consider a very lightweight version or distro rather than a basic Ubuntu. | 23:54 |
| Xyeklops79 | what would you recommend | 23:54 |
| rhizmoe | Xyeklops79: freebsd or one of the more stripped down linux distros | 23:55 |
| Jeruvy | Xyeklops79: I don't use anything lightweight, but I've heard good things about lxde version of ubuntu , or something like DSL or puppy. | 23:55 |
| jstoone | Hi guys I just overwrote my backup.tar with an empty folder.. is there ANY way that I can revert this? | 23:55 |
| braintorch | metallico: if you need a simple dhcp server for a small network you could try dnsmasq. It's small dhcp+dns server. | 23:55 |
| mavromatis | lxde is good | 23:56 |
| itaylor57 | jstoone: no there isn | 23:56 |
| itaylor57 | 't | 23:56 |
| Jeruvy | jstoone: you would want to shut down quickly, boot into recovery and try to restore the file. | 23:56 |
| mavromatis | but not so good with ubuntu | 23:56 |
| raido | rhizmoe: freebsd is anything but light | 23:56 |
| metallico | braintorch, is this not too old now? | 23:56 |
| mavromatis | you need something lighter | 23:56 |
| Jeruvy | jstoone: you'll need a tool called extundelete. | 23:57 |
| jstoone | Jeruvy: really? i'll go look it up FAST, thanks! | 23:57 |
| raido | Xyeklops79: how much ram are you using? | 23:57 |
| braintorch | metallico: maybe. Never worried about this. It just works. | 23:57 |
| Jeruvy | jstoone: good luck | 23:57 |
| Xyeklops79 | i believe its 512 or a gig | 23:58 |
| cybrhuman | jstoone: foremost would possibly do the trick, but I am not certain. | 23:58 |
| jstoone | Jeruvy: thank you! | 23:58 |
| ggg3 | Anyone know if there is a solution for mounting unix style file systems from SunOS, FreeBSD, etc. on Linux systems that by default only understand ext2-4 etc. | 23:58 |
| Jeruvy | Xyeklops79: thats healthy. I thought you'd say 128MB or something. | 23:58 |
| jstoone | cybrhuman: "formost" or du you mean "extundelete" | 23:58 |
| PetePorty | Hey guys, I have a problem... I don't know what caused it, since I wasn't home at the time (my mom said the computer just "turned off"...), but when booting into Linux (after the OS selection screen), the output is the following: http://pastebin.com/dCA8K5aE Then it just becomes a black screen. | 23:58 |
| jstoone | cybrhuman: "formost" meant as an application name | 23:59 |
| raido | Xyeklops79: I say, throw that thing off a bridge. You can find a faster machine on the side of the road on garbage day. Its not worth the effort or electricity consumption. Just my .02$ | 23:59 |
| braintorch | metallico: though really big network can be way too much for a dnsmasq. | 23:59 |
| cybrhuman | jstoone: "foremost" I think. but it requires some configuring, extundelete is maybe a nicer option. yes an application | 23:59 |
| student_421 | help me.. | 23:59 |
