| aztek | hi duanedisign | 00:24 |
| aztek | is it goo if i am use to suspend my computer if i am away? | 00:29 |
| seidos | hey yofel_ thanks for the tip, beta2 is booting from liveusb | 02:13 |
| seidos | no idea what changed, but, cool | 02:13 |
| seidos | huh "irqbalance" that's a new binary in top | 02:15 |
| thewrath | heyu all | 02:31 |
| thewrath | anyone in here? | 02:47 |
| UndiFineD | hello thewrath | 02:49 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| thewrath | Hey UndiFineD | 02:49 |
| thewrath | do you know where i can purchase a "real" hub? | 02:50 |
| UndiFineD | I think you mean a switch | 02:50 |
| UndiFineD | as network equipment | 02:50 |
| charlie-tca | Kind of depends on where you are located. I picked up a 16port switch on Amazon for $20.00 | 02:51 |
| charlie-tca | I also purchased a 5 port switch at Walmart for $35.00 | 02:52 |
| thewrath | no i need a hub | 02:52 |
| thewrath | there are hubs (old i know), switches, and routers | 02:52 |
| thewrath | i am using snort and need something that will send the traffic all ports | 02:52 |
| UndiFineD | coax will do that job :P | 02:53 |
| UndiFineD | 10 mbit | 02:53 |
| charlie-tca | Might try Amazon, or ebay. I don't know, I am not close to any of the computer stores | 02:53 |
| thewrath | UndiFineD: what do you mean coax | 02:58 |
| thewrath | i have al a normal Rj45 network | 02:58 |
| UndiFineD | coax is the kind of cable that is used for tv | 03:00 |
| UndiFineD | I still have 2 coax nics and a bit of cabling | 03:03 |
| UndiFineD | I used it in the past until the hardware became too slow | 03:04 |
| UndiFineD | but it was fun to demonstrate routing among coax and stp networks | 03:05 |

| chak | hello | 10:05 |
| ray_ | I got a question | 10:14 |
| ray_ | A long time ago my uncle gave me a CD he put Ubuntu onto | 10:15 |
| ray_ | Well, he wrote on it support= some letters - numbers | 10:16 |
| ray_ | what is that for? | 10:16 |
| ray_ | what did he put that on there for? | 10:16 |
| UndiFineD | hello ray | 10:17 |
| ray_ | hello | 10:17 |
| UndiFineD | what does it say ? | 10:17 |
| ray_ | I kind of can't read it because of his hand writing | 10:18 |
| UndiFineD | ah | 10:18 |
| ray_ | but it says support= letters-numbers which I am guessing a password or something but that doesn't make sense to me | 10:18 |
| UndiFineD | well, it might be Ubuntu 10.04 Long term support | 10:19 |
| UndiFineD | LTS | 10:19 |
| ray_ | what is it for, as in where do I go to use this what is perhaps a password? | 10:19 |
| ray_ | no lol, it's older | 10:19 |
| UndiFineD | for ubuntu we have the current version, 10.10 that is oktober 2010 | 10:19 |
| ray_ | I think it is Gutsy Gibbons | 10:20 |
| UndiFineD | but also 10.04 which is april 2010 | 10:20 |
| ray_ | I know, I have it on a cd as well | 10:20 |
| ray_ | I have all the versions of Ubuntu so far mentioned | 10:20 |
| ray_ | on cd | 10:20 |
| ray_ | ha ha ha | 10:20 |
| UndiFineD | ok | 10:20 |
| ray_ | hmm, well, thanks for trying | 10:21 |
| UndiFineD | so I have no idea what the letters could mean | 10:21 |
| UndiFineD | or perhaps it might be a voucher for canonical support | 10:21 |
| ray_ | I have always wondered. I could ask him, but I would rather not | 10:21 |
| ray_ | Has canonical been with Ubuntu since the beginning? | 10:22 |
| ray_ | Something about Open Suse and Ubuntu rings a bell for me when I had read something about them | 10:23 |
| UndiFineD | so ray_ , have you been watching the news, what do you think of 11.04 the natty narwhal to be released ? | 10:23 |
| ray_ | I haven't tried it yet | 10:23 |
| ray_ | What do you think> | 10:23 |
| UndiFineD | yes, canonical is the company that started ubuntu | 10:23 |
| ray_ | I meant that as a question mark lol | 10:23 |
| ray_ | O | 10:23 |
| UndiFineD | well I could tell you what i think, but I am interested from a marketing perspective to you | 10:24 |
| ray_ | sorry, right Open suse was joining forces with Microsoft or something | 10:24 |
| ray_ | Marketing perspective, hmm, I am not how I can help you | 10:25 |
| UndiFineD | have you heard of the change of interface ? | 10:25 |
| ray_ | give me a sec | 10:25 |
| ray_ | uh, don't tell me | 10:25 |
| ray_ | I forget, but something to do with the new purple them, If I am right it starts with a P | 10:26 |
| ray_ | Plymouth | 10:26 |
| ray_ | is that it? | 10:27 |
| ray_ | no, no | 10:27 |
| UndiFineD | :) | 10:27 |
| ray_ | I must be wrong | 10:27 |
| ray_ | OK, I don't know then | 10:27 |
| UndiFineD | Unity | 10:27 |
| ray_ | I will look into it | 10:27 |
| ray_ | Is Gnome still being used?, I mean is it a separate kind of thing, or is it a replacement for Gnome? | 10:29 |
| ray_ | OK, it will replace it | 10:30 |
| ray_ | I see | 10:30 |
| ray_ | I wonder how well that will go | 10:30 |
| ray_ | I am pretty used to Gnome but what ever | 10:31 |
| ray_ | Thank you for telling me this | 10:33 |
| ray_ | I will end up trying it, then who knows | 10:33 |
| ray_ | With open suse, it gave people the option to either use gnome or kde, I can only hope that the makers of Ubuntu will have both for download or something like that, but I can see that being a problem because it would take too much time to work on both | 10:35 |
| UndiFineD | :) | 10:35 |
| ray_ | Well, I don't have much else to say | 10:35 |
| ray_ | take care | 10:35 |
| UndiFineD | gnome is still there, but as a fallback or switch to option | 10:35 |
| ray_ | Cool | 10:35 |
| UndiFineD | thanks for telling me | 10:36 |
| ray_ | ty | 10:36 |
| UndiFineD | it provides some more insight | 10:36 |
| ray_ | I don't know how that helps you | 10:36 |
| ray_ | Hm, I hope recordmydesktop works in the next release of Ubuntu | 10:37 |
| ray_ | I am not sure what caused it not to work for me | 10:37 |
| ray_ | I should try it out before installing the graphics driver of nvidia | 10:38 |
| ray_ | and so on | 10:38 |
| popey | i have it working on my machine | 10:38 |
| UndiFineD | well, it provides insight on how well the changes that the community makes are being communicated to you as a user | 10:38 |
| UndiFineD | hey popey | 10:38 |
| popey | lo | 10:38 |
| ray_ | Well, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu to try testing it again | 10:38 |
| ray_ | I think I should save that config file for recordmydesktop before doing anything | 10:39 |
| UndiFineD | backups are always wise to have | 10:39 |
| popey | :) | 10:40 |
| ray_ | No, I think I remember it not working because of something else, because it worked then I tried it with hydrogen drum machine with jack control then it didn't work | 10:40 |
| UndiFineD | popey, I still have not received an email about an ubuntu.com email address | 10:40 |
| popey | you wont | 10:41 |
| UndiFineD | aha | 10:41 |
| ray_ | I can't remember what I did wrong, so testing testing testing | 10:41 |
| popey | it just magically works | 10:41 |
| UndiFineD | ok, so I could just add it to my gmail | 10:41 |
| popey | i just sent you a test mail | 10:41 |
| popey | and it hasnt bounced | 10:41 |
| ray_ | alright, take care guys, I am going to chill | 10:42 |
| ray_ | bye | 10:42 |
| UndiFineD | indeed | 10:42 |
| UndiFineD | see you ray_ | 10:43 |
| popey | :D | 10:43 |
| ray_ | see ya | 10:43 |
| popey | that worked then :) | 10:43 |
| ray_ | :p | 10:43 |
| ray_ | :o | 10:43 |
| ray_ | runs | 10:43 |

| GOMI | 10.10 | 12:27 |
| UndiFineD | ok, and when did you last update ? | 12:27 |

| UndiFineD | alright, do you know if your internet provider hands out new ip addresses often | 12:28 |
| UndiFineD | often as in daily | 12:28 |
| GOMI | no idk | 12:29 |
| UndiFineD | some providers disconnect their users every 2 hours | 12:29 |
| GOMI | hmm | 12:29 |
| UndiFineD | there are so many possibilities here, it is hard to pinpoint what is wrong | 12:30 |
| UndiFineD | does it happen at regular intervals, or at the same time of the day ? | 12:31 |
| GOMI | just kicked out :p | 12:31 |
| UndiFineD | there are so many possibilities here, it is hard to pinpoint what is wrong | 12:31 |
| UndiFineD | does it happen at regular intervals, or at the same time of the day ? | 12:31 |
| GOMI | you know when i click something somethimes i see a white border on de screen flickering once | 12:32 |
| GOMI | left and right | 12:32 |
| GOMI | every time i work on it , ive been looking for 2weeks now | 12:32 |
| UndiFineD | [13:30] <GOMI> just kicked out :p | 12:33 |
| UndiFineD | it might be a crontab job that goes wrong | 12:33 |
| GOMI | cant i see it in log files ? | 12:33 |
| UndiFineD | sometimes | 12:34 |
| UndiFineD | system -> administration -> logfile viewer | 12:35 |

| GOMI | what is that bonobo server ? | 12:37 |
| UndiFineD | http://linux.die.net/man/1/bonobo-activation-server | 12:37 |
| UndiFineD | so something goes wrong with that, it might be your graphics card drivers or some corruption in bonobo | 12:39 |
| UndiFineD | dont worry about pulseaudio | 12:39 |
| GOMI | oke am doing a search for common error with bonobo | 12:40 |

| loranger | Hi Guys, I just plugged my camera into the computer to download pictures but I cannot find it to open it. Nothing popped up and I cannot figure out where to go to open the camera in the menus .... any help appreciated | 16:25 |
| loranger | anybody ???? | 16:27 |
| bioterror | dmesg in terminal | 16:29 |
| bioterror | look if kernel sees your camera | 16:29 |
| bioterror | i would suggest to use card reader | 16:30 |
| bioterror | its faster, and doesnt consumpt battery | 16:30 |
| bioterror | definately a card reader | 16:31 |
| loranger | Ok let me try :) | 16:34 |
| loranger | ok well I am looking for the dmesg in terminal but I cannot locate the Terminal ( yeah I am kinda useless at this my brother installed it on my PC and I am having a hard time with it ) | 16:37 |

| clarkthehardy910 | hello beginner support team and thank you for your time. I'm trying to learn how to use scripts and launchers to create a shortcut to starting my openvpn in the terminal, so that my girl friend can use it without having to know all the commands, is there a way to do this so it can be started with one click? | 18:18 |
| clarkthehardy910 | I've been reading linuxcommand.org but it's a little over my head and a bit too detailed | 18:19 |
| charlie-tca | clarkthehardy910: not knowing how to start openvpn myself, I would start by creating a file with the commands you use listed one per line. | 18:23 |
| charlie-tca | name it something like "startopenvpn" and change the properties so it is executable (chmod 755 ) works | 18:24 |
| clarkthehardy910 | @charlie thank you | 18:24 |
| charlie-tca | Then create a launcher with the file name as the command to run, including the path (~/startopenvpn) | 18:25 |
| charlie-tca | Starting point, anyway | 18:25 |
| clarkthehardy910 | charlie-tca: one command per line, right? does it matter which directory I save the file in? and extension? | 18:25 |
| charlie-tca | one command per line, save it in ~/ normally, which is your user home | 18:26 |
| clarkthehardy910 | charlie-tca: is there an easy way to give it root permissions? | 18:26 |
| charlie-tca | extension doesn't matter unless you want to add one | 18:26 |
| clarkthehardy910 | on my system openvpn must be run in the etc/openvpn directory | 18:26 |
| clarkthehardy910 | how do I add that command in the script, just with the cd? | 18:27 |
| clarkthehardy910 | charlie-tca: I'm a little confused about the #! comment at the beginning, should I indicate /etc/openvpn in that line? | 18:29 |
| charlie-tca | make it #!bash | 18:33 |
| clarkthehardy910 | charlie-tca: thank you | 18:33 |
| charlie-tca | it tells the system what to use to make it work | 18:33 |
| clarkthehardy910 | should I use bin/bash or just bash | 18:34 |
| clarkthehardy910 | #!bin/bash or #!bin/bash | 18:34 |
| charlie-tca | #!/bin/bash | 18:35 |
| charlie-tca | I looked this time to get it right | 18:35 |
| charlie-tca | no spaces either | 18:36 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok, thank you so much | 18:36 |
| charlie-tca | That is the only thing on that first line, too | 18:36 |
| UndiFineD | #!/bin/sh | 18:36 |
| clarkthehardy910 | and how about the sudo and cd commands should I include those as well? | 18:37 |
| clarkthehardy910 | or is that put in the launcher? | 18:37 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 18:38 |
| charlie-tca | if you use them, you include them | 18:38 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok, thanks | 18:38 |
| UndiFineD | #!/bin/sh | 18:39 |
| UndiFineD | cd /my/work/path | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | you use stuff like echo "enter a password" to tell the user what to do, too | 18:39 |
| UndiFineD | sudo something | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | echo "enter a password" | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | sudo ??? | 18:39 |
| charlie-tca | going to lunch now | 18:40 |
| clarkthehardy910 | charlie-tca: do you mean it is automatically root? | 18:40 |
| clarkthehardy910 | if I give it permission which chmod? | 18:40 |
| clarkthehardy910 | UndiFineD: are you saying sh because of the kind of command it is? | 18:41 |
| UndiFineD | no, it is because it make it more os independant | 18:42 |
| UndiFineD | often /bin/sh exists | 18:42 |
| UndiFineD | being either a symlink or shell | 18:43 |
| UndiFineD | even on solaris | 18:43 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok, so I will put sh | 18:43 |
| UndiFineD | clarkthehardy910, be sure to read about ksh and tcsh shells if you need to make your script os independant | 18:44 |
| UndiFineD | some commands are not available on other unixes while they are on linux | 18:44 |
| clarkthehardy910 | UndiFineD: its not os independent, it is only for my computer | 18:45 |
| UndiFineD | well, it is always fun to learn about it | 18:45 |
| clarkthehardy910 | UndiFineD: I just want to make a simple click for my girl friend to start it, so that she doens't have to type in the commands | 18:45 |
| clarkthehardy910 | when she wants to start the vpn | 18:45 |
| UndiFineD | true | 18:45 |
| clarkthehardy910 | we live in China | 18:45 |
| clarkthehardy910 | and without the vpn | 18:45 |
| clarkthehardy910 | no access to facebook, youtube | 18:45 |
| clarkthehardy910 | hulu etc | 18:46 |
| bioterror | clarkthehardy910, you cant watch back to the future any more, or quantum leap :( | 18:46 |
| clarkthehardy910 | hahaha | 18:46 |
| clarkthehardy910 | so im a pretty busy beginner | 18:46 |
| clarkthehardy910 | and would really like to get this done so that when she wakes up in the morning, she can just click and boom can check her facebook | 18:46 |
| UndiFineD | soon, wifi is strong enough to cover 1000s of kilometers | 18:47 |
| clarkthehardy910 | =) nice | 18:47 |
| bioterror | UndiFineD, what are you taking? :D | 18:47 |
| UndiFineD | coffee | 18:47 |
| bioterror | I'll ordere the same | 18:47 |
| UndiFineD | senseo dark raos | 18:48 |
| clarkthehardy910 | so its this good: #!bin/bash | 18:48 |
| clarkthehardy910 | cd /etc/openvpn | 18:48 |
| UndiFineD | roast | 18:48 |
| clarkthehardy910 | openvpn --config ibVPN\ US-Washington.ovpn | 18:48 |
| UndiFineD | seems good | 18:48 |
| UndiFineD | or maybe add the sudo | 18:48 |
| UndiFineD | or gksu for graphics | 18:48 |
| UndiFineD | gksudo | 18:49 |
| clarkthehardy910 | so I need to add the sudo plus the passcode right? | 18:49 |
| clarkthehardy910 | or if i dont add it, will it ask for it in the terminal? | 18:49 |
| clarkthehardy910 | openvpn is a terminal based program | 18:49 |
| UndiFineD | sudo openvpn --config ibVPN\ US-Washington.ovpn | 18:49 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok, thanks | 18:50 |
| clarkthehardy910 | an empty line between #!bin/bash and cd /etc/openvpn | 18:50 |
| clarkthehardy910 | or no line? | 18:50 |
| UndiFineD | bioterror, even the old class A wifi was used (boosted) to communicate with the ISS | 18:50 |
| UndiFineD | does not matter | 18:51 |
| UndiFineD | but be sure that is /bin/bash | 18:51 |
| UndiFineD | the / are important | 18:52 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok, i did it and it changed colors | 18:53 |
| clarkthehardy910 | is that a good sign? | 18:53 |
| bioterror | #!/bin/bash | 18:53 |
| clarkthehardy910 | but now when i try to chmod 755 filename | 18:53 |
| clarkthehardy910 | it says it cannot access it | 18:53 |
| clarkthehardy910 | i gave it the filename startwashvpn | 18:53 |
| clarkthehardy910 | maybe its in the wrong directory | 18:54 |
| bioterror | UndiFineD, must be fast wifi then to ISS | 18:54 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ~ is root | 18:55 |
| UndiFineD | bioterror, yes, burst traffic with ham like fallback | 18:55 |
| clarkthehardy910 | chmod: cannot access 'startwashvpn': no such file or directory | 18:55 |
| clarkthehardy910 | what's wrong? | 18:55 |
| UndiFineD | the file is not where you say it is | 18:55 |
| UndiFineD | chmod 750 ~/startwashvpn | 18:56 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok | 18:56 |
| UndiFineD | rwxrw---- | 18:56 |
| clarkthehardy910 | ok, the chmod worked, but now when I test the script I get bash:startwashvpn:command not found | 19:00 |
| clarkthehardy910 | i did a dir | 19:00 |
| clarkthehardy910 | and the file is in my ~ folder | 19:00 |
| clarkthehardy910 | nevermind! | 19:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | I used create launcher with it and it works! | 19:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | UndiFineD: thank you! | 19:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | bioterror: thanks to you too! | 19:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | charlie-tca: thanks to you for helping get started! | 19:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | UndiFineD: you are a great help, thanks! | 19:04 |
| clarkthehardy910 | bioterror: thank you too! | 19:04 |
| UndiFineD | :) | 19:04 |
| bioterror | I did nothing? :D | 19:04 |
| UndiFineD | you were here, thats what counts | 19:05 |
| UndiFineD | in spirit :P | 19:05 |
| clarkthehardy910 | exactly | 19:05 |
| clarkthehardy910 | thanks and have a great day | 19:05 |

| mihaita99 | the HDD was spinning continously | 22:12 |
| holstein | intersting | 22:12 |
| holstein | whats the bug#? | 22:12 |
| holstein | did you file it? | 22:12 |
| mihaita99 | It was long time ago, 2 years ago, I don't remember | 22:13 |
| mihaita99 | many people had that bug on laptops | 22:13 |
| mihaita99 | yes, I filed it, of course | 22:13 |
| holstein | you can see it in your LP account | 22:14 |
| holstein | your bugs list | 22:14 |
| holstein | lets look and see | 22:14 |
| holstein | maybe its specific to certain hardware | 22:14 |
| mihaita99 | http://markmail.org/message/bbffjpzjajdbv6wo | 22:15 |
| mihaita99 | there is the bug, I found it | 22:15 |
| holstein | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/399978 | 22:16 |
| holstein | ^ ? | 22:16 |
| mihaita99 | yes | 22:17 |
| mihaita99 | that the bug | 22:17 |
| mihaita99 | yes | 22:17 |
| mihaita99 | 399978 | 22:18 |
| holstein | your elena09? | 22:18 |
| mihaita99 | no | 22:18 |
| mihaita99 | a friend | 22:19 |
| holstein | is it still happening to you? | 22:19 |
| holstein | did it ever happen to you? | 22:19 |
| mihaita99 | I thought it was solved | 22:19 |
| holstein | what kernel was it? | 22:19 |
| mihaita99 | it happened to me too, of course | 22:19 |
| holstein | did you or your friend try any mainline kernel tests? | 22:20 |
| mihaita99 | Ubuntu 9.04 | 22:20 |
| holstein | an easy way to test is with the live CD's | 22:20 |
| holstein | you should be able to just DL an iso | 22:20 |
| holstein | burn it or make a bootable USB | 22:20 |
| holstein | and get to the live desktop | 22:20 |
| mihaita99 | I tried many things, and the community guided me, but useless | 22:20 |
| holstein | mihaita99: so it still happens with the 11.04 live CD? | 22:21 |
| mihaita99 | I don't know, was the bug solved in 11.04? | 22:21 |
| holstein | well, i havent encountered the bug | 22:21 |
| holstein | so i can confirm that for your hardware | 22:22 |
| holstein | but, you could | 22:22 |
| holstein | since you seem to have the hardware in question | 22:22 |
| holstein | and its relatively easy to test | 22:22 |
| mihaita99 | can I test it without deleting windows? | 22:23 |
| holstein | sure | 22:23 |
| holstein | its a live CD | 22:23 |
| mihaita99 | ok | 22:23 |
| holstein | you download the iso | 22:23 |
| mihaita99 | ok | 22:23 |
| holstein | either burn it to cd | 22:23 |
| holstein | or make a live USB | 22:23 |
| holstein | and boot it | 22:23 |
| holstein | and *dont* install | 22:23 |
| holstein | just try it live | 22:23 |
| mihaita99 | my hdd is cold now and I've used it for many hours, all day long | 22:24 |
| holstein | theres a lot of attitude in that bug report | 22:24 |
| holstein | i see my friend jeremy closed it out | 22:24 |
| mihaita99 | attitude? | 22:24 |
| holstein | i could always mention it to him | 22:24 |
| holstein | yeah, from Elena09 | 22:25 |
| holstein | i mean, a large percentage of what happens in ubuntu is voluntary | 22:25 |
| holstein | and tracking down these bugs is sometimes very challening | 22:25 |
| mihaita99 | oh, I know, understand now | 22:26 |
| holstein | and requires a lot of patients | 22:26 |
| holstein | BUT, it can happen | 22:26 |
| holstein | and does happen | 22:26 |
| mihaita99 | I know, she switched back to windows, but I'm stubborn | 22:26 |
| holstein | you just need to file a bug, and be persistent about it | 22:26 |
| holstein | hey, whatever works | 22:26 |
| mihaita99 | I'll try 11.04 | 22:26 |
| holstein | im just reading, and trying to see whats up there | 22:26 |
| holstein | ive never heard about hard drives getting hot | 22:27 |
| holstein | so, i can assume its going to be a small hardware base | 22:27 |
| holstein | some ide controller | 22:27 |
| holstein | or specific hard drive | 22:27 |
| holstein | or something | 22:27 |
| holstein | that the kernel is not communicating with well | 22:28 |
| mihaita99 | hard disk driver? | 22:28 |
| holstein | that or something on the way to it | 22:29 |
| holstein | very plausible | 22:29 |
| mihaita99 | so, where should I go, to the hdd manufacturer? Or laptop's? | 22:30 |
| holstein | if i were you | 22:31 |
| holstein | i would just test with the latest kernel | 22:31 |
| holstein | and go from there | 22:31 |
| mihaita99 | ok, thanks a lot for your patience | 22:32 |
| mihaita99 | I'll test it | 22:32 |
| holstein | mihaita99: anytime | 22:32 |
| holstein | enjoy | 22:32 |
| mihaita99 | bye bye | 22:32 |
| disorient | i am having trouble adding users in ftpd, it will allow my account with sudo but not my other users. | 23:00 |
