| mkf00 | pfifo: connection timed out | 00:11 |
| bastidrazor | mkf00: openssh-server is the package you need. | 00:11 |

| bastidrazor | JuiceFace: something like 'cairo-dock' could do this for you. | 00:15 |
| geus | mkf00, try ssh -v -v -v localhost should give you some more info | 00:15 |

| mkf00 | geus -v -v -v ? | 00:15 |
| mkf00 | from where? server or client? | 00:16 |
| mkf00 | i guess from server | 00:16 |
| geus | yes | 00:16 |
| bastidrazor | mkf00: from the server can you ssh localhost? | 00:16 |
| mkf00 | yes bastidrazor it works | 00:16 |
| bastidrazor | err.. i'm a bit slow | 00:16 |
| mkf00 | as i said: it is up and running | 00:16 |
| bastidrazor | mkf00: the IP is correct? | 00:16 |

| mkf00 | i just can't entry it from another machine (but that is the meani9ng of ssh) | 00:16 |

| mkf00 | geus: as i said: nmaping myself shows port 22 is running ssh and open | 00:17 |
| bastidrazor | mkf00: can you ssh from the server to the server's IP instead of using localhost? | 00:17 |
| pfifo | JuiceFace, you can use hostname to change it | 00:17 |
| mkf00 | yes, works perfectly | 00:18 |
| bastidrazor | !hostname | JuiceFace | 00:18 |
| ubottu | JuiceFace: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 00:18 |
| mehlo | Asmodeus87: well, in my kubuntu it's in power management - general settings (not in advanced battery), there you can set the treshold for low and warning level | 00:18 |

| kusznir | Hi all: I have a unbuntu 9.10 server. Whenever any user (this is a large, multi-user server) ssh'es out to anywhere, there is a long delay (~30 seconds) before the password prompt is displayed. SSHing out from other machines on the same network to the same destinations works as it should (near-instant). Nothing is showing up in the logs. No other systems are doing this. Any ideas? (Users are arming themselves with pitchforks and coming for | 00:21 |

| pfifo | mkf00, ls -a ~/.ssh | 00:25 |
| Scowboy | /w $me | 00:25 |
| geus | verbose logging should give info about wrong/missing keyfile | 00:26 |
| mkf00 | geus the verbose output just tells me the same: connection timed out | 00:27 |
| mkf00 | pfifo what am i supposed to see inside the /etc/ssh directory? ssh_config and sshd_config | 00:27 |
| geus | you gave it multiple -v -v -v 's? | 00:27 |
| mkf00 | no i gave it: ssh -v mkf00@192.168.178.42 | 00:28 |
| mkf00 | why multiple? | 00:28 |
| geus | what kind of subnet are you using for that ip by the way? | 00:29 |
| mkf00 | it is a wlan net | 00:29 |
| mkf00 | or what you mean | 00:29 |
| mkf00 | ? | 00:29 |
| pfifo | mkf00, i forget exactly as i havnt used ssh since a reinstall, but it will show the servers old keys, you can tell by the ip address in the files name, but like geus said, ssh should mention aa problem to you. | 00:29 |

| qepz | pfifo: i mean is there anything i should download? | 00:30 |
| pfifo | qepz, well its possible but i dont know how, you would probbally have to write your own program. | 00:31 |
| qepz | pfifo: O_O at this point i wonder, what if the burner is write protected lol | 00:32 |
| pfifo | qepz, which is a borderline no for most instances | 00:32 |
| linuxrealm | i tell yah,, this has been a long day trying to install a laptop with usb flash drive.... | 00:32 |
| pfifo | qepz, its probbally safer to do it with the manufacturers provided tools | 00:33 |
| qepz | pfifo: sorry? dont get that statement, i have a bad english lol | 00:33 |
| qepz | ", which is a borderline no for most instances" | 00:33 |
| pfifo | qepz, I mean that even if you can write your own program to flash your dvd burners firmware, it is not worth the effort so that means that it is not possible to do so in a practical manner | 00:34 |
| qepz | pfifo: yay! | 00:35 |

| geus | mkf00, sorry, no clue as port is reported open from Internet and verbose doesn't give you anything, weird... sshd_config was default? | 00:36 |
| Ben64 | chuck norris sucks | 00:36 |
| justyellowboy | http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IO-Port-Programming-2.html Um, Ubuntu doesn't have #include <asm/io.h> where is it? | 00:36 |
| weedeater64 | why is there no ratpoison at login ? | 00:36 |
| qepz | pfifo: this is a big off topic but its a samsung se-s084d, on their website there is no firmware do i have to suppose there will never be a way to flash the burner (neither good nor bad)? | 00:37 |
| pfifo | qepz, not really something a crapware provider is going todo, but if they were so incline to waste their tame and money, it is possible | 00:37 |

| weedeater64 | anyone? | 00:38 |
| pfifo | qepz, normally they will only issue a firmware update if there is a bug, if something has malaciously changed the firm ware you may need to get it serviced | 00:38 |
| geus | mkf00, tail /var/log/auth.log | 00:39 |
| qepz | pfifo: any idea of how i could notice? Disk manager states its the TS00 (factory one i must think) | 00:39 |
| geus | bastidrazor, not on local lan I'd think | 00:39 |
| geus | as the traffic is not routed then | 00:39 |

| Ben64 | and when? might be recoverable | 01:05 |
| xphilosx | Ben64, a really bad ls | grep | xargs command gone wrong | 01:05 |
| xphilosx | its gone, I rm -rf'd it | 01:05 |
| rcconf | lol | 01:05 |
| Ben64 | doesn't matter | 01:05 |
| Ben64 | as long as you didn't overwrite its still physically on the disk | 01:06 |
| aron__ | B | 01:06 |
| xphilosx | see, /boot was full so I thought I would be clever and design a command to get rid of anything that wasnt the latest image... well, i screwed myself | 01:06 |
| Ben64 | but it might be easier to just re-install the kernel and grub | 01:06 |
| test1234 | Hi, regarding pulseaudio, at this forum in part A it explains that a set of steps needs to be done in order to ensure that pulseaudio is working. Am i to carry out those 3 steps to make sure everything works? Link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 | 01:06 |
| rcconf | Ben64: do you know of a program to recover deleted files in Linux? | 01:06 |
| aron__ | B | 01:06 |
| xphilosx | so aptitude thinks i still have vmlinuz-2.6.35-28-generic on my boot | 01:06 |
| Ben64 | aron__: why do you keep saying B | 01:06 |
| iostream | C | 01:07 |
| xphilosx | anytime i try to use apt to reinstall it shits the bed looking for it | 01:07 |
| Ben64 | rcconf: http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/ | 01:07 |
| xphilosx | so basically I have a combination of a corrupted aptitude (which I was in the process of fixing) and then killed my boot | 01:07 |
| Ben64 | xphilosx: 64 or 32? | 01:07 |
| xphilosx | 64 | 01:07 |
| Olson | hello, please. I upgraded to 11.04 earlier and now I log in to old account and just get my old wallpaper with no desktop icons or toolbars, alt + f2 or nothing works, so I create new account to use this which is fine. I feel it might be settings or theme related so can I maybe remove or rename folder like ~/.gnome or so to get back original theme? Is there someway to reset defaults but keep my home directories and such intact, and how | 01:08 |
| Olson | to do? | 01:08 |
| Ben64 | xphilosx: which ubuntu version? | 01:08 |
| pfifo | test1234, it says part A is to be followed by all users | 01:08 |
| aron__ | Sorry my mobile irc client is kinda lame | 01:08 |
| xphilosx | one sec, let me double check | 01:08 |
| xangua | !natty | Olson | 01:08 |
| ubottu | Olson: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. | 01:08 |
| xphilosx | 10.10 | 01:08 |
| test1234 | pfifo: it just seemed quite strange so i wanted a second opinion. thanks mate | 01:09 |
| Olson | xangua, some advice would be useful? perhaps you would be so kind | 01:09 |
| rcconf | burning stopped at 62.8%........ | 01:09 |
| rcconf | i have the log | 01:09 |
| iostream | Olson: "Help and support only in #ubuntu+1" | 01:10 |
| xphilosx | here, can anyone find the screwup in this? | 01:10 |
| xphilosx | ls * initrd.img-2.6.35-2* | grep -v initrd.img-2.6.35-27-generic | xargs rm -rf | 01:10 |

| xphilosx | one typo :( | 01:11 |
| rcconf | Memorex DVD+R DL 8x | 01:11 |
| rcconf | burning at 3x | 01:11 |
| rcconf | maybe it was too slow? | 01:11 |
| rcconf | I set maximum on Brasero... but it burned at 3x. | 01:11 |
| pfifo | rcconf, adjust the darkness slider on your toaster to burn the disk 100%, make sure to have a fire extingusher handy. | 01:12 |
| rcconf | pfifo: wtf? | 01:12 |

| rcconf | 01:01:45 <pfifo> rcconf, we cant refund your money but we can give you an in store credit | 01:12 |
| rcconf | ?? | 01:12 |
| rcconf | stop trolling | 01:13 |
| Ben64 | rcconf: memorex dvd's are pretty bad | 01:13 |
| rcconf | Ben64: no, they are not. dont blame the dvd. | 01:13 |
| rcconf | it's brasero bug. | 01:13 |
| Ben64 | yes, they are. memorex have a reputation for coasters | 01:13 |
| Ben64 | and brasero doesn't do the burning | 01:13 |
| rcconf | oh and burner is brand new. | 01:13 |
| bkerensa | Brasero for the win | 01:14 |
| bkerensa | :) | 01:14 |
| rcconf | but brasero has problems burning with dual layer = bugs | 01:14 |
| rww | brasero has a reputation for not working. and by "reputation for not working" i mean it constantly makes coasters for me. | 01:14 |
| xphilosx | Ben64, one sec, I may have thought of a solution | 01:14 |
| bkerensa | rww: Really? I have never had Brasero #failwhale on me | 01:14 |
| pfifo | rcconf, i have to burn wii games on the slowest setting or i get problems | 01:14 |

| xphilosx | Ben64, 27-generic though to answer your question | 01:14 |
| rcconf | pfifo: dvd max is 8x brasero burned at 3x | 01:14 |
| rcconf | is not a speed problem | 01:15 |
| Ben64 | but brasero is just a front end | 01:15 |
| Ben64 | don't blame the messenger | 01:15 |
| rcconf | anyone interested in error: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=2nPxvyMH | 01:15 |
| bkerensa | rww: Next time it happens you should open a bug report and provide more details | 01:15 |
| bkerensa | rcconf: have you filed a bug report? | 01:15 |
| rcconf | ofc not | 01:15 |
| rcconf | never did | 01:16 |
| xphilosx | Ben64, but I need to update to 28-generic to fix my apt problems | 01:16 |
| rcconf | they could pay me the cost of dvd and I would report the bug lolz | 01:16 |
| bkerensa | rcconf: Would you be willing to do so we can have a look? https://bugs.launchpad.net | 01:16 |
| xphilosx | Ben64, so im downloading linux-image-2.6.35-28-generic from the ubuntu repo's online, then I think ill try to dpkg -i --force-all it | 01:17 |
| bkerensa | rcconf: Well if its a defect I'm sure we can get it addressed | 01:17 |

| pfifo | rcconf, growisofs only creates an iso image, are you sure you have a coaster? | 01:17 |
| Ben64 | xphilosx: but if you deleted grub stuff you'd need to fix that too | 01:17 |
| Ben64 | pfifo: growisofs burns discs | 01:17 |
| rcconf | rww: I would try k3b now but I dont have more dvds dl | 01:18 |
| bkerensa | rww: Well if you ever have further issues with an app file a report and shoot the ID to me and I can get it addressed | 01:18 |
| xphilosx | Ben64, luckily I didn't do that | 01:18 |
| xphilosx | Ben64, there was no recursion in the ls lookup | 01:18 |
| rcconf | I didnt want to waste 10€ on DVDs.. | 01:18 |
| Ben64 | xphilosx: make sure you have the initrd, kernel image, system map, etc :) | 01:18 |
| pfifo | Ben64, i always used growisofs and then cdrecord | 01:18 |
| xphilosx | :) | 01:18 |
| xphilosx | thanks | 01:18 |
| bkerensa | Im unsure why people burn anything these days anyways | 01:18 |
| bkerensa | ;) | 01:18 |
| Ben64 | pfifo: back on rh9 i used growisofs only | 01:18 |
| xphilosx | so far so good | 01:20 |
| xphilosx | sweet, its giving me some images | 01:20 |
| rcconf | i did dmesg |grep growisofs and it says is 32 bit | 01:20 |
| rcconf | im using maverick 64bit | 01:20 |
| rcconf | is this a problem? lol. | 01:21 |
| pfifo | rcconf, shouldn't be with multilib | 01:21 |
| Ben64 | rcconf: have you tried burning in anything else | 01:21 |
| xphilosx | Ben64, :) good to go | 01:21 |
| HyperShock | hi guys. anyone know why that with each success update of ubu 10.10 gnome, that video playback on the internet suffers more and more? | 01:21 |
| [Soma] | xphilosx, strange question, but are you 'straight edge'? | 01:21 |
| HyperShock | successive | 01:21 |
| rcconf | Ben64: I burned single sided dvds before | 01:22 |
| rcconf | only 4 in total | 01:22 |
| Ben64 | rcconf: i mean any other program | 01:22 |
| rcconf | no | 01:22 |
| rcconf | and now i cant trty | 01:22 |
| Ben64 | maybe you should | 01:22 |
| rcconf | *try* | 01:22 |
| Ben64 | why not | 01:22 |
| xphilosx | [Soma], not strange given my nick, but no, about 6 years ago in high school someone named me phil los, so on DALnet philos was already taken so I threw some "leet" x's around it | 01:22 |
| xphilosx | [Soma], I actually dislike the nick but its how most people know me | 01:23 |
| bkerensa | Laterz my laptop is overheating (damn CPU overclocking :P ) | 01:23 |
| pfifo | rcconf, did you do a simulate and write, or a write only? | 01:23 |
| [Soma] | That's cool. Just wondering because of the X's. Haven't seen anyone with those around their nick for... very long. :) | 01:23 |
| rcconf | pfifo: I just burned it........ | 01:23 |
| rcconf | it was burning. | 01:23 |
| [Soma] | I have my leet square brackets... | 01:24 |
| rcconf | but then stopped | 01:24 |

| HyperShock | be happy that didn't make his nick xXPh170x70zXx | 01:24 |
| [Soma] | I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 and I don't really know my way around Linux much. I can only pick 1360x768 as highest resolution, although 1600x900 and 1920x1080 should be available (both of those work in Win). Any ideas? | 01:24 |
| pfifo | rcconf, next time do a simulate, if its a problem with the libs or backend it will fail without destroying the disc | 01:24 |
| xphilosx | Ben64, looks like everything is good, I satisfied my apt troubles with that image as well | 01:24 |
| rcconf | :( | 01:25 |
| Ben64 | xphilosx: cool, gl :) | 01:25 |
| xphilosx | HyperShock, believe me.. unfortunately it probably crossed my mind | 01:25 |
| xphilosx | Ben64, cheers, take care | 01:25 |
| HyperShock | [Soma]: is that the highest rez shown in the monitors applet? | 01:25 |
| * HyperShock gives a scathing high five to xphilosx! | 01:25 | |
| [Soma] | yeah, and the monitors applet also gives me this: http://i.imgur.com/WQ3Zy.png | 01:26 |
| xphilosx | HyperShock, back when DALnet was cool and mIRC scripting was awesome | 01:26 |
| xphilosx | HyperShock, (note, none of those things have ever been cool, I just thought they were) | 01:26 |
| [Soma] | My first nick on IRC was "Hempmaster" in like... 1995 or so. Good thing I didn't stick to that. | 01:27 |

| rcconf | next time I wont use Ubuntu or other distro to burn the DL... | 01:28 |
| rcconf | why to risk | 01:28 |
| sdrodge | Does anyone know if there is a simple way to get the package manager to only upgrade a package if a newer version is available? (ie: an semi-hold) I'm asking because I've applied a patch to a package (256 colors for rxvt-unicode) and now the package manager keeps trying to replace my manually compiled version with the upstream copy of the same version. | 01:28 |
| HyperShock | rcconf: what is going on? | 01:29 |
| pfifo | rcconf, i avoid basero always ;) | 01:29 |
| Ben64 | rcconf: try k3b | 01:29 |
| rcconf | I had problems with k3b on this computer before | 01:29 |
| [Soma] | Yeah, I have spent quite some time googling it, but no success. Someone posted a thread on the ubuntuforums about a similar monitor (same model, different series), but he had an entirely different problem with it. | 01:29 |
| rcconf | it stopped burning. | 01:29 |
| Ben64 | maybe you're computer is broken | 01:29 |

| Ben64 | your* | 01:30 |
| pfifo | rcconf, nothing wrong with burning it on windows either... its made me plenty of coasters too | 01:30 |
| [Soma] | HyperShock, could it be my gfx chip (very mediocre Intel onboard gfx chip), or is the problem definitely my monitor? | 01:30 |
| rcconf | Ben64: no, because I could burn in brasero | 01:30 |

| [Soma] | Ben64, well I've tried previous Linux distributions but always ended up kinda missing Windows, but for the first time ever, I'm actually very happy with Linux and not at all tempted to switch back. So... seen as I'd like to stick with this, I'm happy dealing with the problem however difficult it is. | 01:31 |
| rcconf | Ben64: the thing is that I transfered the iso to the laptop which has the dvd dl burner...... | 01:31 |
| HyperShock | who here knows how to change the monitor definations in Xorg using the new system? | 01:31 |
| rcconf | Ben64: and I use Ubuntu on USB drive | 01:31 |
| rcconf | in there | 01:32 |
| Scunizi | How do I change the defaults for Evince so the left thumbnail side bar doesn't open as default? | 01:32 |
| pfifo | HyperShock, its the same just the xorg.conf is now in /usr/lib/xorg.conf.d | 01:32 |
| Ben64 | HyperShock: not me, i'd do a good ol' xorg.conf, which is the method i was hinting at to you [Soma]. what is the highest res the monitor supports? what model is it? make? dimensions? | 01:32 |
| Ben64 | pfifo: ls: cannot access /usr/lib/xorg.conf.d: No such file or directory | 01:33 |
| rcconf | ImgBurn in Wine should do it | 01:33 |

| [Soma] | I checked for xorg.conf in /etc/X11, but it appears that 10.10 doesn't generate that anymore by default. The highest res should be 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz. And it's an LG Flatron E2350V. | 01:33 |
| Scunizi | [Soma]: see the 2 ubottu posts above | 01:34 |
| rcconf | which VNC server do you recommend? | 01:34 |
| rcconf | I dont want to use gnome's | 01:34 |
| Ben64 | [Soma]: yeah thats what i mean, ubuntu doesn't make xorg.xonf anymore by default. | 01:34 |
| pfifo | Ben64, could have sworn it was there, let me look | 01:35 |
| Ben64 | [Soma]: actually those links that Scunizi gave seem like a better solution that what i would have done | 01:35 |
| HyperShock | pfifo: i personally don't have a directory or file of that name in the /usr/lib directory | 01:35 |
| [Soma] | Ben64, oh so you meant it's not a "happy solution" because I'd have to create the xorg.conf from scratch? Also, will anything in the xorg.conf "override" the default settings? With other words: If I create a xorg.conf and it doesn't work, I can just fix the problem by removing the file again? | 01:36 |
| ZeroAlpha | i have an issue with compiz sometimes resetting itself when my screensaver activates. anyone know why? | 01:36 |

| sm4n3tt0n3 | hello everybody | 01:37 |

| rcconf | so.. the best way to debug stuff is to open a program in terminal? | 01:38 |
| HyperShock | silly me, i thought the best way was to use a hammer! | 01:39 |
| rcconf | ? | 01:39 |
| HyperShock | rcconf: yeah, and look at all your logs and stuff | 01:39 |

| pfifo | rcconf, apparently growisofs | 01:40 |
| pfifo | rcconf, should be dmsg material there | 01:40 |
| HyperShock | anyone know the real reason ubu is using this new method of xorg and summarily grub management? It was imho easier the other way, considering the lack of documentation in this new endeavor | 01:40 |
| Ben64 | less mucking around in config files? | 01:41 |

| rcconf | so I just connected ti irc.gimp.org and joined #brasero . channel is empty | 01:49 |
| rcconf | lol. | 01:49 |
| Gandblaster | yo what happend to the Cisco chat? | 01:51 |
| Gandblaster | up in here? | 01:51 |
| rcconf | tightvnc is good? | 01:51 |
| [Soma] | HyperShock / pfifo: So when I create the xorg.conf, should it still go in /etc/X11, or to /usr/lib? | 01:51 |
| pfifo | jessicaBR, thats part of the POSIX standard, but i might be mis understanding you | 01:52 |
| pfifo | jessicaBR, IE its part of the kernel | 01:53 |
| pfifo | [Soma], /etc/X11 completly disregard the /usr/lib i mentioned | 01:53 |
| [Soma] | alrighty, thanks. | 01:54 |
| Ben64 | hardest part of making a xorg.conf is getting the right sync numbers | 01:54 |
| icat | hey, i'd like to install vlc-1.1.8 from the ludic | 01:55 |
| icat | hey, i'd like to install vlc-1.1.8 from the ludid-bleed ppa | 01:55 |
| jessicaBR | pfifo, I'm looking for an abstraction layer in C++ that handles socket programming, and allows me to forget specific system function calls | 01:55 |
| icat | but even though i've added the source | 01:55 |
| Ioniz3d | hallo | 01:55 |
| icat | ubuntu still only offerst 1.1.4 from the stock repos | 01:56 |
| icat | how do i explicitly tell apt-get i want the ppa version? | 01:56 |
| muelli | icat: can you paste the output of apt-cache policy vlc? | 01:56 |
| rcconf | I want to setup a VNC server and connect to it without loging in (GDM). Which VNC server should I use? | 01:56 |
| muelli | icat: generally: apt-get install vlc=VERSION. So we need to find out the version that is available in the PPA. Hence the apt-cache policy command. | 01:56 |
| pfifo | jessicaBR, nearly every mainstream scripting language has socket bindings, if you know perl or python then your in business, lua php and tcl also | 01:57 |
| [Soma] | Ben64, after reading through the urls posted to me earlier, I'm increasingly tempted to just wait another 12 days and hope that 11.04 fixes the problem for me :) | 01:57 |
| Khisanth | jessicaBR: glib has things like that | 01:57 |
| pfifo | jessicaBR, or perhaps look into libcurl | 01:57 |
| icat | muelli, sec | 01:57 |
| === derp is now known as Guest19490 | ||
| Ben64 | [Soma]: unlikely, your video card is probably the problem, as its not detecting the monitor specs | 01:57 |
| jessicaBR | pfifo, I'd like to stick with C++ :) Khisanth going to read more about Glibmm then. pfifo I'm going to read about libcurl too, thanks! | 01:58 |
| jessicaBR | pfifo, libcurl is not gnome... | 01:59 |
| icat | muelli, http://pastie.org/1799358 for the apt-cache policy | 01:59 |

| pfifo | jessicaBR, what does that matter? libcurl is pretty universal most systems have it | 02:00 |

| pfifo | jessicaBR, gnome is a windows manager and has nothing todo with sockets,cone way or another your going to have to add a lower level library somewhere to get a connect called | 02:02 |
| muelli | icat: I'm afraid I can't browse the web atm. | 02:02 |

| jessicaBR | pfifo, around gnome windows manager there are a bunch of nice libs and apps that you would like to know, for sure | 02:04 |
| jessicaBR | http://projects.gnome.org/ | 02:04 |
| icat | muelli, kk nevermind | 02:05 |
| quatch | if i turn the power off will it hurt the HD? | 02:05 |
| icat | muelli, i'll ask again tomorrow, thx again | 02:05 |
| muelli | quatch: not physically. But your data might get corrupted, i.e. stuff you thought you'd written to disk might not yet have been written out. | 02:06 |
| quatch | you mean it might not all get deleted? | 02:07 |
| [Soma] | Ben64, sorry to bother you so much, but quick question: I currently have a very mediocre onboard gfx chip. If I was to add a PCIe gfx card to my computer, would I have to disable to gfx chip somehow for it to recognise my new card? | 02:07 |
| pfifo | jessicaBR, some of those package use libcurl, gimp for instance | 02:07 |
| soreau | Hey guys, how can I remove all but the currently running kernel easily? | 02:07 |
| sinistrad | quatch, Not so much for data either, as long as you are running a more recent file system, like ext3 or ext4. I believe those are journaled file systems. You might not lose anything | 02:07 |
| Ben64 | [Soma]: it'd be best to disable it if you can, usually through bios | 02:07 |
| HTCPX | anyone know how to add ubuntu to Windows boot.uni | 02:07 |
| jessicaBR | pfifo, right, but I am using gnome only :) | 02:07 |
| BlueBomber7 | Hey, all! When's 11.04 slated for release? | 02:07 |
| quatch | well i mean im using the program to nuke the HD with PRNG stream so I can then install Ubuntu or Debian | 02:08 |
| [Soma] | Thank you, Ben64, I'll look into it. | 02:08 |
| quatch | So im not to worried about losing data. I want to lose data lol. i think... | 02:08 |
| muelli | soreau: funnily enough, I don't know about an existing solution to that obvious problem. If you find any, let me know. For now, you can do smth like "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" and apt-get purge the old ones. | 02:08 |
| KM0201 | !natty | BlueBomber7 | 02:09 |
| ubottu | BlueBomber7: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. | 02:09 |
| sinistrad | quatch, in that case you could just wipe the partitions and put on the linux partition of your choice. | 02:09 |
| pfifo | jessicaBR, I dont know of any gnome libs that are specifically designed for working with sockets. to really answer your question. | 02:09 |
| soreau | muelli: Yea, I'm kinda looking for a one-liner to automatically do it | 02:09 |
| BlueBomber7 | Cheers, KM0201. | 02:09 |
| KM0201 | :) | 02:09 |
| Scunizi | soreau: in gui? use synaptic and search for linux .. then tag the "Installed" on the left and search for the kernels and headers | 02:09 |
| soreau | ubuntu always just keeps installing new kernels but never uninstalls any old ones | 02:09 |
| quatch | is installing debian as easy as ubuntu? my hardware should be supported if supported under ubuntu? | 02:09 |
| soreau | Then grub list gets out of control | 02:09 |
| TaZeR | hey can anyone help me to hack a nasa computer with linux and download some schematics for a classified space craft? | 02:10 |
| soreau | Scunizi: No, I want a non-manual way of doing it | 02:10 |
| muelli | soreau: I'm very confident that you can cook up a clever line with dpkg and smth like uname. But I don't know of any. For now, I have to recommend doing it manually in two lines ;-) | 02:10 |
| soreau | Like CLI one-liner | 02:10 |
| quatch | lulz | 02:10 |
| bazhang | TaZeR, no | 02:10 |
| aeon-ltd | TaZeR: not allowed here. | 02:10 |
| TaZeR | but i need them so i can build this ship and leave this stupid planet | 02:10 |
| sinistrad | I smell troll | 02:10 |
| bazhang | quatch, try #debian | 02:10 |
| quatch | ah thanks | 02:10 |

| TaZeR | these are the best in the world there very classified you wouldnt know about them | 02:11 |
| Scunizi | TaZeR: wait for the asteroid | 02:11 |
| muelli | TaZeR: have you search the pirate bay yet? ;-) | 02:11 |
| TaZeR | it has everything, sustainable air, water etc... | 02:11 |
| TaZeR | i can drift in space for the rest of my life and maybe if im lucky find a new planet to settle on | 02:12 |
| bazhang | TaZeR, thats enough | 02:12 |
| quatch | I would like to do that | 02:12 |
| TaZeR | if not ill be in deep space and future aliens will find me and revive me from my dna | 02:12 |
| TaZeR | while everyone on earth will probably die when it explodes | 02:13 |
| soreau | muelli: Well you also want to remove other related packages for that kernel version | 02:13 |
| soreau | sinistrad: I see what you're smelling :P | 02:13 |
| sinistrad | Yeah, I'm feeling a kickban | 02:13 |
| muelli | soreau: like? IIRC modules and headers and stuff get removed along with the image. But yeah, you're right. You do want to get rid of that as well. | 02:14 |

| sinistrad | Akakumatt, You can try #ffmpeg for the first. They are pretty good in there. I'm not familiar with Razuna, but if it's related to ffmpeg, they might be able to help there too. | 02:16 |

| Carto_ | i start dhcp server but "Can't open /root/lol.conf: Permission denied" | 02:50 |
| Carto_ | But i chmod it 777 | 02:50 |
| Laggg | lets see some cool ubuntu themes! | 02:50 |
| Carto_ | i'll love the guy who can give me the awnser | 02:50 |
| quuxman | oh damn, I'm running Debian, not ubuntu | 02:51 |

| lucas_ | 05:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. VT1720/24 [Envy24PT/HT] PCI Multi-Channel Audio Controller (rev 01) --> I use this sound card. But when I open preferencies > sound, in hardware aba, it doesn't appear. What am I supose to do? Please, I need your help? | 02:51 |
| smw | Carto_, something is wrong with that you are trying to do. | 02:51 |
| pfifo | Carto_, i dont think dhcpd runs as root, try moving it out of /root and into /etc | 02:51 |
| rww | Carto_: 1) you're going about this in an odd way, 2) check the permissions on /root/ | 02:51 |
| vahni | pfifo ok. in rhythmbox the sound goes off as well. its not the player | 02:51 |
| smw | Carto_, I could tell you how to fix it, but it is more important that you figure out why you are doing this. | 02:51 |
| Carto_ | i just launch as root the dhcpd with my own dhcp.conf | 02:52 |
| Carto_ | i already check the permissions on /root/ | 02:52 |
| jeregon | hello my key board isnt working in the ubuntu server after about 20 secs after boot help | 02:52 |

| CrazyGir | hello! I'm trying to mount a raw disk so I can edit the filesystem, and mount always seems to complain about the filesystem type. specifying the type doesn't seem to help either (though I'm not 100% sure of the filesystem type) | 02:52 |
| CrazyGir | sudo mount -o loop=/dev/loop0 clean_install.raw /mnt/tmp -t ext3 | 02:52 |
| smw | Carto_, in the config does it drop privileges? | 02:52 |
| CrazyGir | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, | 02:52 |
| vahni | ohsix what to do about pulse audio? | 02:52 |
| Carto_ | yes ... | 02:52 |
| CrazyGir | without specifying -t, mount seems unable to work out the details | 02:53 |
| Carto_ | i'm going to be crazy with this *** pbs | 02:53 |
| jeregon | can any one help me? | 02:53 |
| jeregon | hello my key board isnt working in the ubuntu server after about 20 secs after boot help | 02:53 |
| CrazyGir | jeregon: ask again, only a minute has passed | 02:54 |
| muelli | jeregon: how do you know "it's not working"? | 02:54 |
| pfifo | vahni, can you manually turn the volume back up? | 02:54 |
| vahni | pfifo when i move the volume control around just a little bit, volume jumps up again | 02:55 |
| jeregon | muelli: it doesnt type at all | 02:55 |
| pfifo | vahni, is this only on a stream, or will movies and such do this too? | 02:55 |
| muelli | jeregon: hm. can you enter commands in any way? I.e. via SSH? | 02:56 |
| vahni | pfifo trying out | 02:56 |
| BluesKaj | CrazyGir, have considered using a partition manager on a livecd like gparted ? | 02:56 |
| jeregon | muelli: it dive enof time to login and thats it | 02:56 |
| jeregon | muelli: no | 02:56 |
| jeregon | muelli: i dint set it up yet its a fresh install | 02:56 |
| muelli | jeregon: that's a pity. Do you have a spare USB keyboard that you could plug in? | 02:56 |
| jeregon | muelli: yes ill try that give me a sec ill be back im going to go get one | 02:57 |
| CrazyGir | BluesKaj: the file is a kvm disk image | 02:57 |
| CrazyGir | created with ubuntu-vmbuilder | 02:57 |
| CrazyGir | so it is 'supposed' to 'just work' | 02:58 |
| CrazyGir | no? | 02:58 |

| === Tails_doll is now known as Zorro | ||

| kaushal | hi | 02:59 |
| kaushal | what is unity in 11.04 ? is it a desktop ? | 02:59 |
| muelli | jeregon: I presume that works. No? | 02:59 |
| vahni | pfifo yes. netbook | 02:59 |
| KM0201 | !natty | kaushal | 03:00 |
| ubottu | kaushal: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. | 03:00 |
| muelli | kaushal: well. Unless you define "desktop" it's hard to tell. It's at least a window manager. But you could argue it being a desktop. | 03:00 |
| jeregon | muelli: no | 03:00 |
| jeregon | muelli: what do i do now? | 03:00 |
| pfifo | vahni, it might be turning off the sound to try to save power, look and see if you have a setting like that in power or sound settings | 03:00 |
| kaushal | muelli: so gnome is removed in natty ? | 03:01 |
| vahni | pfifo i have reinstalled alsa-base, as i assume its alsa. maybe i should try to reinstall the other alsa packages as well | 03:01 |
| vahni | pfifo its definitely not a power saving thing | 03:01 |
| muelli | jeregon: O_o That's very weird. I can't imagine good reasons for the USB Keyboard to fail. Unless the modules were not installed correctly. Can you get SSH access? It's a server after all... | 03:01 |
| KM0201 | kaushal, no, its not. | 03:02 |
| jeregon | muelli: how do i do that? | 03:02 |
| muelli | kaushal: well. Yes and no. You will not have the GNOME3 experience with vanilla Ubuntu as they ship Unity and not GNOME Shell, which makes a lot of the new GNOME3 experience. | 03:02 |

| muelli | jeregon: hm. I presume you find the IP of your server and do "ssh user@$ip" from a different machine. | 03:02 |
| pfifo | vahni, my microphone does something similiar, and I have to turn off auto management in skype. as for your problem im kinda stumped, it points to acpi doing wierd stuff, but it could really be anything | 03:02 |
| KM0201 | muelli, installing gnome3 bricked my 11.04 install.. won't be messing w/ that again anytime soon | 03:03 |
| jeregon | muelli: how do i find my servers ip? | 03:03 |
| muelli | jeregon: well. That's a very individual problem. Are you on the same network as the server? | 03:04 |
| jeregon | yes | 03:04 |
| muelli | jeregon: if you, you could nmap your subnet. | 03:04 |
| jeregon | muelli: yes | 03:04 |
| vahni | pfifo that auto management stuff in skype has to do with power save? | 03:04 |
| pfifo | vahni, no it tries to set my mic to what it thinks is an acceptable level but it is broken and just turns it all the way down | 03:05 |
| jeregon | muelli: ok | 03:05 |
| codex84 | how come remote desktop viewer doesn't connect to my window | 03:05 |
| muelli | jeregon: but I'd double check that the keyboard you're trying to use actually works, i.e. by trying it on a PC that you know has working USB. | 03:05 |
| _Tristan | hey, how can I make my microphone always play to my speakers? | 03:05 |
| codex84 | pc | 03:05 |
| codex84 | ? | 03:05 |
| pfifo | vahni, no related to power or your problem, but similiar none the less. | 03:05 |
| HTCPX | who's on 100mbit internet? | 03:06 |
| pfifo | vahni, what kind of sound card do you have? | 03:06 |
| jeregon | muelli: im typing with it now :-) | 03:06 |
| Naynay | EeePC 1005HAE... not liking sleep mode sometimes. I leave the computer and when I come back, the screen is off and the system has hung | 03:06 |
| jeregon | muelli: this is so anoying | 03:06 |
| Naynay | latest 10.10 kernel | 03:07 |
| pfifo | Naynay, goto power settings and disable suspend/hibernate all together | 03:07 |
| muelli | jeregon: have you tried different USB ports on the server? | 03:08 |
| Naynay | pfifo, they're already off | 03:08 |
| Caboose885 | Hello all :) | 03:08 |
| Naynay | the sleep settings are set to Never | 03:08 |
| jeregon | yes | 03:08 |
| vahni | pfifo hda intel integrated | 03:08 |
| pfifo | Naynay, for both ac power and battery power? also check your screensaver settings | 03:08 |
| jeregon | muelli: yes and i have tried safe mode too | 03:08 |
| jeregon | muelli: it works on safe mode | 03:08 |
| pfifo | vahni, i have that exact card | 03:08 |
| pfifo | vahni, i dont get that problem at all so its nt a driver issue, have you been able to properly use alsa before | 03:09 |
| === root is now known as Guest97735 | ||
| vahni | pfifo ok. its not the player. suppose its not alsa. what else could it be? | 03:09 |
| kaushal | still not clear | 03:10 |
| kaushal | is unity 2d a part of gnome ? | 03:10 |
| kaushal | please help me understand | 03:10 |
| Naynay | pfifo, yep, the sleep mode is set to "Never" on both system and display | 03:10 |
| HTCPX | how do I configure TCP settings? | 03:10 |
| gimpy4682 | In 10.04, how do I get the boot process to display to the screen rather than the blinking curser I get now? I removed 'quiet' from the options in /etc/default/grub but I still only get a blinking curser. | 03:10 |
| KM0201 | kaushal, understand what? | 03:10 |
| vahni | pfifo it was working fine. until today. thats why i reinstalled alsa-base... | 03:10 |
| kaushal | KM0201: about Unity ? | 03:11 |
| Naynay | In screensaver, the active when computer is idle is on, and well as enforcing a lock screen | 03:11 |
| KM0201 | kaushal, what do you not understand? | 03:11 |
| Naynay | I figure the computer is crashing on the lock screen.... but it is a heisen bug. | 03:11 |
| pfifo | have you made any recent changes? like new packages or a ubgrade? | 03:11 |
| kaushal | KM0201: whats the default desktop in Ubuntu 11.04 ? | 03:11 |
| Naynay | I can't reliably repeat the crash | 03:11 |
| Nach0z | Hey i've got a question for yall. i'm in ubuntu 10.04 and add-apt-repository is returning a bad URL or something for a ppa.launchpad.net file. Is there a file I can manaully add ppa entries to? | 03:12 |
| pfifo | vahni, have you made any recent changes? like new packages or a ubgrade? | 03:12 |
| Naynay | pfifo, upgraded to latest 10.10 kernel and packages... but the last kernel had the same problem | 03:12 |
| KM0201 | kaushal, default, is Unity.. however, ubuntu classic is also part of the default install.. if you have Natty questionjs, ask them in the natty channel. | 03:12 |
| pfifo | Naynay, sorry | 03:12 |
| kaushal | KM0201: natty channel ? | 03:12 |
| madsailor | KM0201, which channel is natty? | 03:12 |
| rww | kaushal: #ubuntu+1 | 03:12 |

| madsailor | thx! | 03:12 |
| jeregon | muelli: is it possible to change the keyboard map? | 03:12 |
| pfifo | Naynay, perhaps your screen saver is creating a heat protection shut down, those GL screensvaers are petty resource heavy | 03:13 |
| pfifo | naynay, try a blank screen | 03:14 |
| vahni | pfifo i was thinking about that too. and i dont know which could have affected sound | 03:14 |
| pfifo | vahni, what exactly did you install? | 03:15 |
| Caboose885 | anyone want to try and help me with getting multitouch to work on my Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit Dell Duo? | 03:16 |
| Nach0z | huh. got it working... later all | 03:16 |
| vahni | pfifo today i tried gkrellm and conky. installing and purging them. i doubt they can affect sound :) | 03:17 |
| pfifo | vahni, their deps could have. | 03:18 |
| pfifo | vahni, did it change your kernel? | 03:18 |
| Khisanth | at least one of those also has plugins that deals with sound | 03:18 |
| === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale | ||
| vahni | pfifo of course i did not change the kernel | 03:20 |
| vahni | pfifo gkrellm and conky dont have deps | 03:20 |
| hiexpo | vahni, conky can mess your sound ifyou had wrong conkyrc | 03:20 |
| === jack is now known as Guest193 | ||
| vahni | hiexpo :( i purged the rc already | 03:20 |
| pfifo | vahni, i get this 'conky conky-all gkrellm libimlib2 libntlm0' | 03:21 |
| vahni | pfifo these are your deps of conky? | 03:22 |
| pfifo | vahni, yeah | 03:23 |
| pfifo | vahni, try a reinstall of alsa-* and also you probbally have pulseaudio so reinstall that too | 03:23 |
| DrMax | I just got a macbook pro 8.3 and the ATI driver displays a "unsupported hardware" overlay in the lower-right corner... How do I remove this sh*t ? | 03:24 |
| Khisanth | "libasound2 - shared library for ALSA applications" <- conky-all dep :) | 03:24 |
| ndxtg | when I run "svn checkout...." it creates the directory as "root" owner with 0700 mask, does anyone know how to set this ? (i.e. another under username with mask 0755) | 03:24 |
| vahni | hiexpo how can conky mess up my sound? i have installed it and there is no .conkyrc | 03:25 |
| vahni | pfifo yes, i will reinstall everything | 03:25 |
| hiexpo | vahni, if you had a goofy conkyrcto do with sound it could | 03:26 |
| pfifo | vahni, it could have messed with alsa configuration too | 03:27 |
| vahni | hiexpo after installation of conky there is a /etc/conky/conky.config but it does not contain any line about sound | 03:27 |
| hiexpo | vahni, then you ok | 03:27 |
| Caboose885 | DrMax: did you install the drivers? | 03:27 |
| DrMax | yes | 03:28 |
| DrMax | 11-3-x86_64 | 03:28 |
| vahni | pfifo i am quite sure that it has to do with alsa and alsa-mixer... | 03:28 |

| hiexpo | yup 61 in there | 03:50 |
| rww | Rt: I don't see you in #ubuntu-br, so you're probably somewhere else ;P | 03:51 |
| Tyrone | hi there need help here, i have my ubuntu box but when i connect the other computer i cant access the internet i can ping the ubuntubox ip and the eth1 of my proxy but no internet | 03:51 |
| soreau | _Neytiri_: You need to close all other running instances of package managers such as synaptic and apt-get | 03:51 |
| Caboose885 | DrMax: that would make sense if it did! haha. If there was a way to just kill the watermark off that would be nice but since I don't have a system to test it on I can't be of much help | 03:51 |
| gaelfx | _Neytiri_: it sounds like you have a package manager open or running | 03:51 |
| _Neytiri_ | theres noting running | 03:51 |
| soreau | Rt: You aren't in #ubuntu-br on freenode | 03:51 |
| gaelfx | _Neytiri_: check in system monitor under processes | 03:51 |
| Rt | * Now talking on #ubuntu-br" | 03:51 |

| _Neytiri_ | i did | 03:52 |
| Rt | 1 ops, 1 total... | 03:52 |
| DrMax | Caboose885 : plus the "acceleration" is like VESA ... | 03:52 |

| Zigue | Hello boys and girls | 03:52 |
| soreau | rww: ok | 03:53 |
| gaelfx | _Neytiri_: do you know how to use ps? | 03:53 |
| soreau | Someone is going to kill me for this, but here is a one-liner I made to remove all but the currently running kernel image and headers | 03:53 |
| _Neytiri_ | yes i do | 03:53 |
| soreau | Do NOT run this unless you know exactly what it does! current_version=$(uname -r); dpkg -l linux-image-[0-9]\* | egrep ^ii | while read status pkg cdr; do if [[ "$pkg" != *"${current_version%-generic}"* ]]; then sudo aptitude purge -y "$pkg"; fi; done && dpkg -l linux-headers-[0-9]\* | egrep ^ii |while read status pkg cdr; do if [[ "$pkg" != *"${current_version%-generic}"* ]]; then sudo aptitude purge -y "$pkg"; fi; done | 03:53 |

| Caboose885 | DrMax: are you installing 11.04 yet? | 03:56 |
| DrMax | Caboose885 : 11.04 seems to be supporting the wifi and the video correctly | 03:56 |
| pfifo | but your not allowed to have color control codes in channel names | 03:56 |
| DrMax | when is the final due? | 03:56 |
| soreau | 11.04 isn't supported here yet though | 03:57 |
| soreau | ! 11.04 | DrMax | 03:57 |
| ubottu | DrMax: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. | 03:57 |
| Caboose885 | DrMax: awesome | 03:57 |
| pfifo | !11.10 | 03:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) will be the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/?p=646 | 03:57 |
| DrMax | I'm using the live version for now | 03:57 |
| saulo | Lost my connection trying set wireless | 03:57 |
| [TK]D-Fender | Isse with 10.10 x64 audio recording. I have an SB Audigy 1 and can't seem to record off either the mic or line in and could use a hand. testing with Audaicty & the core Sound Recorder | 03:57 |
| Caboose885 | even when you liveCD 10.10 it would do that watermark? | 03:57 |
| soreau | saulo: Are you having trouble with getting wireless to work? | 03:58 |
| DrMax | I take back wireless | 03:58 |
| DrMax | it doesn't work | 03:58 |
| DrMax | and Unity is an abomination | 03:58 |
| [Soma] | [TK]D-Fender: just to make sure, have you checked the alsamixer? | 03:58 |
| saulo | soreau: yes. I've installed now wicd package, but now I see "checking for access point association" and the connection fail. | 03:58 |
| soreau | saulo: What wifi chip is it? | 03:59 |
| Caboose885 | DrMax: the "Classic" gnome is able to be switched to easily | 03:59 |
| Caboose885 | just log out and select it for the session | 03:59 |
| saulo | Yes. I'm was thinking was a hardware problem, but another system connect correctily :( | 03:59 |
| saulo | Yes. Ah sorry! let me check! | 04:00 |
| soreau | saulo: It still could be that the wifi chip you have doesn't support the encryption type your access point has set | 04:00 |
| claw | saulo run lspci in terminal | 04:00 |
| claw | check what chip it is | 04:00 |
| DrMax | ok, so let's wait a few weeks for the final 11.04 | 04:01 |
| [TK]D-Fender | [Soma]: Just checked it... seeing progress.... | 04:01 |
| saulo | soreau: ASUS EEE-PC 1005-HA. From lspci: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) | 04:01 |
| Caboose885 | DrMax: Sounds good to me. No sense in rushing perfection :) | 04:01 |
| Seven_Six_Two | odd...I had to bring my eth0 up and run dhclient manually just now...I just did an update too... | 04:01 |
| [TK]D-Fender | [Soma]: The stock GUI mixer kinda (really) sucks | 04:01 |
| soreau | saulo: Is it an HP laptop? | 04:01 |
| saulo | claw: ASUS EEE-PC 1005-HA. From lspci: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) | 04:01 |
| saulo | soreau: Asus EEE-PC Netbook | 04:01 |
| pfifo | saulo, ubuntu hates asus | 04:01 |
| galamar | Would this be the best place to ask vnc questions? | 04:02 |
| soreau | saulo: Does iwconfig show a wlan0 interface? | 04:02 |
| [Soma] | well, [TK]D-Fender, I don't know that much about Linux. I only came to this channel to deal with my own problem, but I recently had issues with my mic in skype, and turning up the volume in alsamixer fixed it. Good luck to you... | 04:02 |
| DrMax | Caboose885 : especially that RCs and Betas aren't perfection :p | 04:02 |
| Seven_Six_Two | according to my /etc/network/interfaces, eth0 isn't auto. Is this syntactically correct? : auto lo eth0 | 04:03 |
| saulo | soreau, claw, pfifo: This wireless worked for 3 months for me, and yesterday stopped. And I really don't know what could be :( | 04:03 |
| soreau | saulo: Was it after an update/upgrade? | 04:03 |
| pfifo | saulo, i ws just reading info cause i just put 10.10 on the 701 im on right now | 04:03 |
| saulo | soreau: I really don't remember about done this :( | 04:04 |
| soreau | saulo: Do you have a previous kernel in the grub list when you boot that you can try? | 04:04 |
| saulo | soreau: Yes | 04:04 |
| galamar | soreau, yes iwconfig will show wlan0 | 04:04 |
| [TK]D-Fender | [Soma]: thanks... it recording, but got some recording rate issues... I think his should have something I can tweak real soon... | 04:04 |
| oscargot | is there a 10.04 version of netbook ubuntu? The download page oesn't seem to have it | 04:05 |
| Seven_Six_Two | saulo, do you see the interface with ifconfig -a | 04:05 |
| soreau | saulo: Does iwconfig show a wlan0 interface? | 04:05 |
| saulo | soreau: Yes, ans iwconfig shows info about wlan0 too | 04:05 |
| pfifo | saulo, i followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#Ralink Card | 04:05 |
| soreau | saulo: Does 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid' show AP's? | 04:05 |
| itilious | am i really putting my ubuntu computer at risk if i'm adding repositories from forums to get thunderbird update 3.1? | 04:07 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: what forum? | 04:07 |
| itilious | Caboose885, digitizor.com | 04:08 |
| itilious | its ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa | 04:08 |
| itilious | is that legit? | 04:08 |
| saulo | soreau: Yes, and my AP is here: ESSID:"dlink" | 04:08 |
| pfifo | itilious, install packages from untrusted sources can cause paroblems | 04:08 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/thunderbird-stable | 04:08 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: official launchpad page | 04:08 |
| soreau | saulo: Ok that's good at least.. what encryption type do you have set for it? | 04:08 |
| saulo | pfifo: I don't found info for 10.10, it works for this version? | 04:08 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: thats legit but do you want to be running unstable software? I would add the stable repository | 04:09 |
| itilious | so that ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa prob isnt good to use then Caboose885 ? | 04:09 |
| itilious | i see | 04:09 |
| pfifo | saulo, according to it, you can just use that 8.10 package there, but mind you i have the ath5k so im not 100% sure | 04:09 |
| itilious | thanks Caboose885, but how do i know whats stable and whats testing? | 04:09 |
| saulo | soreau: This AP has no security, I never have patience to reset it and put one to work xD | 04:09 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: it generally says in the repository what type it is | 04:10 |
| saulo | pfifo: ok! | 04:10 |
| Caboose885 | like on the launchpad page it says its the stable repository, itilious | 04:10 |
| MaRk-I | oscargot: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.2/ go down the page and select netbook | 04:11 |
| soreau | saulo: Alright, try this: sudo service network-manager stop && sudo killall nm-applet wicd; sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid dlink && sudo dhclient wlan0 | 04:11 |
| SMG1 | hello, can anyone help me, "My Computer" does not open when clicked and no drives show up on the left pane of windows, but they show up in gparted and disk utility. | 04:11 |
| soreau | saulo: Also, is there any other AP named 'dlink' in your area? | 04:11 |
| itilious | Caboose885, if i remove that ppa i added and then change it to the one you suggest, would that change the installed version? | 04:11 |
| saulo | soreau: Probabilly I will lost connection here, but I will back, ok? | 04:11 |
| soreau | saulo: ok | 04:12 |
| SMG | hello, can anyone help me, "My Computer" does not open when clicked and no drives show up on the left pane of windows, but they show up in gparted and disk utility. | 04:12 |
| pfifo | how are you losing connection if wireless isnt working? | 04:12 |
| saulo | soreau: about another ssid, I'm certainly has noone | 04:12 |
| soreau | saulo: ok | 04:12 |
| oscargot | MaRK-I: Thanks >: D, is there anything different in the netbook edition except for the different GUI, can I technially just sudo apt-get the desktop environment? | 04:12 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: I believe so. You already upgraded to the daily version? | 04:13 |
| soreau | pfifo: I think he's connected with eth0 and he's trying to connect with wifi | 04:13 |
| saulo | soreau, pfifo: I'm connected with my PC RJ-45 cable (eth0 lan) | 04:13 |
| soreau | :) | 04:13 |
| MaRk-I | oscargot: in that case download the desktop edition | 04:13 |
| itilious | Caboose885, yes i just did and now trying to figure out how to go back lol | 04:13 |
| saulo | soreau: :D yes! | 04:13 |
| MaRk-I | oscargot: but yes you can install several DE | 04:13 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: you could purge the entire program... | 04:13 |
| pfifo | saulo, you shouldnt disconnect from that by messing with the wireless tho | 04:13 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: but any settings and emails will go away | 04:13 |
| saulo | soreau, pfifo: Going do the test | 04:13 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: make backups | 04:13 |
| oscargot | MaRK-I: Okay thanks >:D! | 04:14 |
| saulo | soreau, pfifo: Ok, I will enter here from my normal PC to try test the wireless | 04:14 |
| saulo | soreau, pfifo: I back soon | 04:14 |
| pfifo | saulo, you can pop in and out all you want | 04:14 |
| MaRk-I | oscargot: yw | 04:14 |
| soreau | saulo: If it says 'Renewal in so many seconds', that means it worked | 04:14 |
| itilious | Caboose885, which directory is thunderbird located in? i'm a n00b looking for the 'prog files' folder lol | 04:15 |
| pfifo | soreau, type 'iwconfig' and see if its connected | 04:15 |
| soreau | pfifo: Yea that too | 04:15 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: try home/.mozilla-thunderbird | 04:16 |
| pfifo | soreau, on mine the light comes on | 04:16 |
| itilious | thats just the profile stuff | 04:16 |
| itilious | emails | 04:16 |
| soreau | pfifo: LED's mean nothing | 04:16 |
| itilious | "app data" equiv to windows i guess | 04:16 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: to uninstall it? | 04:16 |
| pfifo | soreau, my blue LED has been pretty faithful | 04:17 |
| itilious | Caboose885, purge/uninstall yes | 04:17 |
| Caboose885 | ah | 04:17 |
| Ben64 | itilious: you never do it manually, just use apt-get to do it | 04:17 |
| ash_ | test | 04:17 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: use Synaptic Package Manager (System-->Admin-->Synaptic) | 04:17 |
| wutzis | hi everyone, i was looking for a netbook that would play nice with ubuntu (11.04 no idea if unity is a gpu/cpu killer) just to watch videos on youtube and megavideo (HD possibly) i found out a dell mini 1018 with "ATOM N455 , intel gma 3150, 1 gb ram" would it play nice? | 04:17 |
| === ash_ is now known as Ashkin | ||
| Caboose885 | itilious: in the quick search box type "thunderbird" then mark the packages for complete removal | 04:18 |
| SMG | hello, can anyone help me, "My Computer" does not open when clicked and no drives show up on the left pane of windows, but they show up in gparted and disk utility. | 04:18 |
| Ben64 | wutzis: atom probably can't do HD | 04:18 |
| roknir | i want to try out unity and ubuntu 11.04 in virtualbox, but i'm not having much luck. i have 3d acceleration turned on for the VM and i have all of the virtualbox-guest packages installed, but when i log into ubuntu, i just see the wallpaper and nothing more. any ideas? | 04:18 |
| Ashkin | test | 04:18 |
| wutzis | Ben64: odd, that kid in the commercial was watching a HD video lol | 04:18 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: just make sure it doesn't try and remove ubuntu-desktop or a extremely important package | 04:18 |
| Caboose885 | Ashkin: testing what? ;) | 04:18 |

| wutzis | Ben64: proprietary driver frontend lol | 04:23 |
| Ben64 | ubuxubu: if a drive can't be mounted you can't access information on it | 04:23 |
| jeremyb | hehe, there's more than one floodbot | 04:23 |
| SMG | soreau: yes it worked right before i installed empathy 3.0, which had to recompile dozen of apps just to install it, that might be the problem, but i uninstalled it and did not fix it | 04:23 |
| Ben64 | wutzis: doesn't realtek have open source drivers? | 04:23 |
| rushone2009 | so many bots | 04:23 |
| rww | !ping | 04:23 |
| ubottu | Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to respond to factoid requests. Call that job satisfaction? Because I don't. | 04:23 |
| soreau | Ben64: jockey is the gui for installing proprietary drivers in ubuntu ie. sys>prefs>additional drivers | 04:23 |
| rww | yay | 04:23 |
| Ashkin | milligan: the aetheros card shows up in lspci, but nothing else. i've fought with getting drivers to work for it for months.. just gave up and used wired. | 04:23 |
| ubuxubu | 10-4 Ben64 but why would it say that when it has been working fine? | 04:23 |
| pfifo | HA! | 04:23 |
| GfoleyFour | "FloodBot3 set a ban on *!*@ubuntu/bot/ubottu." | 04:23 |
| GfoleyFour | whut | 04:23 |
| pfifo | poor ubottu | 04:23 |
| sly | :\ | 04:23 |
| soreau | SMG: How did you install this empathy 3.0? | 04:23 |
| wutzis | Ben64: im not too sure | 04:24 |
| SMG | soreau: from source | 04:24 |
| Ashkin | this client makes things -really- hard to follow. ugh. i should just use colloquy on my phone :/ | 04:24 |
| soreau | Ashkin: Do you want to try to get it working? | 04:24 |
| ubuxubu | why would a computer that works fine suddenly say it failed to mount drive? | 04:24 |
| itilious | Caboose885, yep worked flawlessly | 04:24 |
| soreau | Ashkin: Is it an HP laptop by chance? | 04:24 |
| itilious | ty | 04:24 |
| Ashkin | most definitely. | 04:24 |
| Ben64 | ubuxubu: whats the error message | 04:24 |
| Caboose885 | itilious: np. You can always check Ubuntu Forums for help | 04:25 |
| ubuxubu | failed to mpount drive and tons of letters all over the screen Ben64 | 04:25 |
| Ben64 | ubuxubu: gonna need the whole thing | 04:25 |
| sly | Anyone know? | 04:25 |
| jeremyb | ubuxubu: dmesg | tail -n 300 | 04:25 |
| MaRk-I | sly: for natty support #ubuntu+1 | 04:25 |
| soreau | SMG: Sounds like you overwrote a bunch of packages you shouldn't have. Typically you should install something like that to a nonstandard prefix but sounds like it's too late for that | 04:25 |
| soreau | SMG: So, you can try and reinstall all packages you installed from source and see if that fixes it or reinstall ubuntu | 04:26 |
| ubuxubu | Ben64: it sill up the whole screen | 04:26 |
| soreau | SMG: Reinstall packages, with your package manager | 04:26 |
| Ben64 | ubuxubu: use pastebin | 04:26 |
| soreau | Ashkin: Is it an HP laptop by chance? | 04:26 |
| wutzis | Ben64: well lets try and do some math, ill need your help here because i suck at this , if windows 7 starter works i think ubuntu with unity (remember i have no idea of how much cpu it eats) should work at least fine right? | 04:26 |
| ubuxubu | cant working remote | 04:26 |
| SMG | soreau: yes that might be it, can i reinstall ubuntu without deleting what is on harddrive (overwrite everything) | 04:27 |
| Ashkin | soreau: iie, it's a toshiba satellite | 04:27 |
| Ben64 | wutzis: if it works on windows chances are it will in ubuntu | 04:27 |
| soreau | Ashkin: Alright, does 'iwconfig' show a wlan0 interface? | 04:27 |
| wutzis | Ben64: if it doesnt would it be good to throw as freesbie at my dog? LOL | 04:27 |
| jeremyb | ubuxubu: 16 03:25:26 < jeremyb> ubuxubu: dmesg | tail -n 300 | 04:27 |
| Ben64 | wutzis: no, the computer probably contains mercury, not safe for dogs | 04:28 |
| Ashkin | soreau: nope. | 04:28 |
| optidude | hello all | 04:28 |
| ubuxubu | jeremyb: wut does that mean? | 04:28 |
| optidude | finally got Ubuntu installed on my laptop | 04:28 |
| optidude | hehehehe | 04:28 |
| wutzis | Ben64: awww didnt they remove it? omg | 04:28 |
| optidude | after a series of errors | 04:28 |
| Ashkin | optidude: grats ~ | 04:28 |
| soreau | Ashkin: What is the output of 'lspci|grep Network'? | 04:29 |
| optidude | and alot of re-teaching my self....i have been using windows for 20 years...lol | 04:29 |
| wutzis | Ben64: alright, they put mcafee with win 7 it will most definetly work with ubuntu! lolol unless video drivers mess up | 04:29 |
| Ben64 | wutzis: not that i know of, at least the backlight has Hg i think | 04:29 |
| ubuxubu | Ben64: pasten 2 whole pages of weird copes? | 04:29 |
| ubuxubu | haha | 04:29 |
| Ben64 | ubuxubu: sure | 04:29 |
| ubuxubu | no way? | 04:29 |
| wutzis | Ben64: i beg your pardon? | 04:29 |
| Ben64 | ubuxubu: nobody can help you unless they can see the problem | 04:29 |
| ubuxubu | its all garbled nonsence hehe Ben64 | 04:29 |
| Ashkin | the card is an Atheros AR5001 | 04:29 |
| Ashkin | ^ @ soreau | 04:29 |
| jeremyb | it's unlikely to be nonsense | 04:30 |
| Ben64 | wutzis: i think the backlight for the screen has Hg (mercury) in it | 04:30 |
| ubuxubu | Ben64: some driver that mounts the drive at boot must of got broken somehow | 04:30 |
| jeremyb | even if you think it is | 04:30 |
| wutzis | Ben64: oh great | 04:30 |
| ubuxubu | Ben64: oh well ran great for a week | 04:30 |
| soreau | Ashkin: Which version of ubuntu is it? | 04:30 |
| jeremyb | ubuxubu: open a shell or terminal. type "dmesg | tail -n 300" (no quotes). pastebin the output | 04:30 |
| Ben64 | wutzis: don't worry, just don't eat it, or toss in trash, recycle! | 04:30 |
| wutzis | Ben64: you know what? i gotta figure out what the heck blacklight is in my language :P anyways thank you very much for your answers, much appreciated | 04:30 |
| wutzis | Ben64: yup i do recycle stuff safely :) | 04:30 |
| Ben64 | backlight, not blacklight | 04:30 |
| pfifo | i have an Atheros AR5001 chip | 04:31 |
| Ashkin | 10.10. originally a 9.x, updated to 10.4, now to 10.10 earlier today | 04:31 |
| soreau | Ashkin: Does 'lsmod|grep ath' show ath5k module is loaded? | 04:31 |
| wutzis | Ben64: rofl that seemed rather odd, a blacklight >.< | 04:31 |
| oscargot | how DOES one dispose of an old computer safely? | 04:31 |
| q0_0p | ubuxubu, what error are you getting when mounting drive | 04:31 |
| Ashkin | soreau: nope | 04:31 |
| soreau | Ashkin: Try loading the module with 'sudo modprobe ath5k' then check iwconfig for wlan0 interface | 04:31 |
| ubuxubu | cant mopunt drive and a whole page and a half of bizarre nonsence codes q0_0p | 04:31 |
| Ashkin | soreau: detects now ~ | 04:32 |
| Ben64 | ubuxubu: pastebin it...... | 04:32 |
| pfifo | oscargot, leave it in home depot's parking lot | 04:32 |
| ubuxubu | Ben64: cant at the moment | 04:32 |
| jeremyb | ubuxubu: pastebin. yes, we're serious | 04:32 |
| ubuxubu | but thanks anyway | 04:32 |
| ubuxubu | i cant right now | 04:32 |
| Ben64 | ubuxubu: why not? | 04:32 |
| oscargot | pfifo, lawl... | 04:32 |
| q0_0p | ubuxubu, have you tried the mount command | 04:32 |
| ubuxubu | cos my buddy is off the phone | 04:32 |
| soreau | Ashkin: Alright so it's not loading the module by default. To fix that, put 'ath5k' on a line by itself without tick marks in /etc/modules | 04:32 |
| soreau | Ashkin: Check it's working and such after reboot | 04:33 |
| ubuxubu | its not my laptop | 04:33 |
| ubuxubu | but ill have it here tomorrow | 04:33 |
| Ashkin | soreau: actually, i think updating to 10.10 did it; this is farther than i've gotten with hours of tedious fighting before | 04:33 |
| pfifo | oscargot, contact you local EPA office and ask them where to dispose of it if it need special disposal, but in general, only the battery is hazardous | 04:33 |

| soreau | Ashkin: Does it work now? | 04:36 |
| xangua | bluethundr_: probably already end of life¿ | 04:36 |
| pfifo | !eol| bluethundr_ | 04:36 |

| pfifo | 3 years for desktop LTS right? | 04:37 |
| Flannel | pfifo: Yes | 04:37 |

| tor_ | How do we kill a prosess in ubuntu? | 04:38 |
| hiexpo | tor_, killall | 04:38 |

| Caboose885 | oops sorry about the break guys | 04:38 |
| xangua | bluethundr_: your paste says it's intrepid, not hardy and yes; it already is !eol | 04:38 |
| jeremyb | or just kill | 04:38 |
| soreau | Ashkin: For future reference, upgrades can be problematic. I always recommend a clean install after backing up | 04:38 |
| bluethundr_ | tor_: ps -ef | grep what_you_look_for ; kill -15 pid_you_found | 04:38 |
| bluethundr_ | or kill -9 | 04:38 |
| Caboose885 | tor_: "System Monitor" my bad | 04:38 |
| tor_ | Caboose885: Thank you | 04:40 |

| Ashkin | Yesterday, my Vista install died. worked fine, then suddenly, HD access slowed to a crawl (on the order of up to 30 seconds per file) ; booting into Vista took 17 minutes. however, this ubuntu install on the same hd works fine. now vista bluescreens on boot. long story short, i need to repair the install (or do a scandisk on its partition) but i can't get into the os, and the recovery cd cannot find the install either. | 04:55 |

| Strav | Hi. Anyone here have tried emacs23 on natty beta 2? | 04:57 |
| xangua | !natty | Strav | 04:57 |
| ubottu | Strav: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. | 04:57 |
| rww | Strav: #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion; #ubuntu is for released versions of Ubuntu | 04:57 |
| Strav | xangua: thanks, I'm on my way. | 04:57 |
| pfifo | Ashkin, I have heard alot of complaints about ubuntu destroying the ability to use a rescuecd/system restore | 04:57 |
| Ashkin | so um. how do i manage to do a scandisk (or similar) on my (likely ntfs) vista partition? friend recommended fsck, but he was plastered, so :/ | 04:58 |
| Ashkin | pfito: yes. the recovery cd can't find the vista install (thinking its because of grub) | 04:58 |
| saulo | soreau, pfifo: to be honest, I don't know really, but was'nt at wireless exactily, something was wrong about the routes and DNS. Wasn't applying. When I saw your command output, I saw the wireless connection was working, but nothing anymore. But "magically" all is working now, I restarted the PC and no more problems :-S | 04:59 |
| soreau | Ashkin: You have to use windows utilities to check ntfs disks AFIAK | 04:59 |
| soreau | saulo: Hey, cool | 04:59 |
| HyperShock | askin: the command in linux you are looking for is called 'ntfsfix' | 04:59 |
| elb0w_ | Anyone get the issue where you just get a black screen with a crosshair mouse in ubuntu 11.04? | 04:59 |
| pfifo | Ashkin, my 1 and only response to anything windows related is format and reinstall, most people can manage to find a windows 7 cd somewhere | 04:59 |
| Ashkin | soreau: i can't get into windows. the only thing i can think of is reinstalling it, and I dont' want to do that. | 04:59 |
| xangua | elb0w_: #ubuntu+1 | 05:00 |
| bob__ | can't you use e2fsck on an ntfs system? | 05:00 |
| elb0w_ | yea i asked there no one replied | 05:00 |
| Ashkin | bob__: i haven't a clue. | 05:00 |
| Ashkin | bob__: no, this is for an ntfs partition | 05:01 |
| saulo | soreau, pfifo: really thanks for help | 05:01 |
| Ashkin | soreau: thank you <3 | 05:01 |
| soreau | saulo: No problem | 05:01 |
| pfifo | saulo, glad you got it working | 05:01 |
| HyperShock | Ashkin: from linux side just do 'sudo ntfsfix /dev/<device>[partition#]' | 05:01 |
| Ashkin | have a cookie, some strawberries, etc :P | 05:02 |
| saulo | soreau: You told about ntfs here. Then a question: what's the status of ntfsfix utility, what it can do for us? | 05:02 |
| HyperShock | if you don't know what partition it is, you can also do 'sudo fdisk -l | less' to see a list of partitions and their device names | 05:02 |
| soreau | saulo: I have no idea | 05:02 |
| saulo | soreau: lol, I found the answer :-S http://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfsfix | 05:03 |
| pfifo | does ubuntu have an official stance on deleting hidden recovery partitions or destroying rescue systems? asidde from the header of GNU GPL? | 05:04 |
| saulo | HyperShocK, Ashkin: Anyway, I think it's good take a look here about ntfsfix: http://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfsfix | 05:05 |
| soreau | saulo: FWIW, you can do 'man ntfsfix' or any other program, most have man pages | 05:05 |
| Ashkin | saulo: thanks, I'll try that. | 05:07 |
| Ashkin | bsod on boot, though, so I have little faith ;x | 05:07 |

| monkeyblah | pfifo: probably | 05:09 |
| quatch | when i boot up it says verifying dmi pool data then hangs. i can boot to lie cd though. how do i fix? | 05:09 |
| monkeyblah | pfifo: any links you can point me to to fix? | 05:10 |
| pfifo | i would boot a livecd, chroot and apt-get a linux-source | 05:10 |

| quatch | i had ubuntu 10.10 and windows 7 dual booting. i used unetbotin netinstall of debian six and formated my hd then installed debian all in one partiton. now when i boot up it says veifying pool data....and hangs. | 05:22 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | hi any 1 know a good tutorial do dual boot windows after ubuntu 10.4 | 05:22 |
| quatch | can anyone help me? | 05:23 |
| hrezaei1 | pfifo: ok.thanks now I see: "/var/www/info.php" E212: Can't open file for writing | 05:23 |
| hiexpo | quatch, just ask you ? | 05:23 |
| quatch | i had ubuntu 10.10 and windows 7 dual booting. i used unetbotin netinstall of debian six and formated my hd then installed debian all in one partiton. now when i boot up it says veifying pool data....and hangs. | 05:24 |
| xangua | quatch: /join #debian ¿ | 05:24 |
| quatch | so how do i boot? | 05:24 |
| quatch | no one seems to know in debian | 05:24 |
| pfifo | quatch, reinstall from scratch, sounds like you messed it up | 05:24 |
| quatch | i tried twice | 05:24 |
| xangua | !grub2 | 05:24 |
| xangua | KINGOFSWORDS: next time you do dualboot, install windows first; now you will fave to fix grub | 05:24 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 05:24 |
| pfifo | hrezaei1, np | 05:24 |
| quatch | i dont see what i could have messed up. i think my mbr has had grub written to it to many times | 05:24 |
| quatch | or something | 05:24 |
| quatch | and its confused lol | 05:25 |
| v_v | quatch: what do you mean, format your hd. your ubuntu and windows are both ereased ? | 05:25 |
| pfifo | quatch, it sounds like you dont have grub at all, or its missing files | 05:25 |
| quatch | yeah i formated everything then tried to install debian | 05:25 |
| tor_ | <bob__> Tried to look for it, but couldn't find. Also searched for "flash". | 05:25 |
| quatch | hm well i installed debian with usb netinstall but i have a ubuntu 9.10 live cd | 05:25 |
| axxekorr | Hey man I just descovered aduinio man!! | 05:26 |
| quatch | can i fix it from that somehow? | 05:26 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | xangu yeh thats y im looking for a tutorial..only installing win out of desparation | 05:26 |
| hiexpo | quatch, if you formated the whole drive it is gone | 05:26 |
| etienne | supyall | 05:26 |
| v_v | quatch: pfifo is write , try to install grub again | 05:26 |
| hrezaei1 | pfifo: there is no info.php file there,I can not create it via graphical interface, but I use sudo running vi... | 05:26 |
| quatch | shouldnt it have installed during the debian install though? | 05:27 |
| etienne | any routing god over here? | 05:27 |
| v_v | quatch: sorry, right ~ | 05:27 |
| bob__ | tor: I saw it under sound and video - Adobe flash | 05:27 |
| quatch | if i run sudo grub-install from live it says error cannot find device for / | 05:27 |
| slakcphil | etienne: what's your question? | 05:27 |
| v_v | quatch: a simple way , chroot to you debian ,and dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc | 05:28 |
| quatch | no idea how to do that haha | 05:28 |
| pfifo | hrezaei1, run this `gksudo gedit` to use gedit as root | 05:28 |
| pfifo | hrezaei1, sounds like a graphical editor willl suit you better than vim | 05:29 |
| quatch | hmm maybe i should try supergrubdisc? | 05:29 |
| etienne | slakcphil: well I think it's very common. I have a sever with 2 ethernet adaptors | 05:29 |
| tor_ | I think I'm pretty noob. Still looking for a Flash program to run in Wine/Firefox. The Adobe Flash I installed are stopping the prosess. (The prosess is freezing) | 05:29 |
| etienne | eth0 for the LAN | 05:30 |
| etienne | eth1 for direct access to internet | 05:30 |
| xangua | how about using firefox for linux and adobe plugin for linux tor_ | 05:30 |
| pfifo | iptable masqueradeing howto | 05:30 |
| dd214 | whats the diff? gksudo vs sudo? | 05:30 |
| xangua | !gksu | dd214 | 05:30 |
| ubottu | dd214: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 05:30 |
| kbrosnan | tor_: open Windows Firefox, go to adobe's website download flash, install flash | 05:31 |
| pfifo | gksudo is for gui apps, and pops up a password entry dialog | 05:31 |
| optidude | hey all | 05:31 |
| etienne | I want the server to access another machine on different subnet | 05:31 |
| optidude | got me a problem | 05:31 |
| optidude | hehehe | 05:31 |
| hiexpo | dd214, gksudo is for graphical apps | 05:31 |
| tor_ | I use Firefox for Wine because it is FireFox Portable, where I got all my old stuff. New to Ubuntu/Linux. | 05:31 |
| optidude | i put ubuntu on my laptop in the regular partition and now i cant log back into vista...LOL | 05:31 |
| optidude | cant seem to get back into windows | 05:31 |
| optidude | is there a way to choose what os to load into? | 05:32 |
| Tux91 | get the vista disk | 05:32 |
| xangua | optidude: maybe you delete it¿ | 05:32 |
| Tux91 | and got o repair | 05:32 |
| dd214 | why is it for graphical apps? I can still run a graphical app w/ sudo too. | 05:32 |
| slakcphil | etienne: are you using ufw? | 05:32 |
| yuler | I saved data to an ext4 partition, but when I mount it, it only shows lost+found folder with 2.7gb of 45gb used. How do I retrieve or restore the data? | 05:32 |
| xangua | dd214: how about you read what the bot said | 05:32 |
| tdelam | hey guys, what's the preferred way to run Photoshop on Linux, is cxoffice still the recommended way | 05:32 |
| optidude | hey thanks tux91 | 05:32 |
| Tux91 | then its bootrec/ fixbootrec | 05:32 |
| pfifo | dd214, yeah but you cant enter a password with sudo if you have no tty | 05:32 |
| Tux91 | then bootrec / tix mbr | 05:33 |
| tor_ | kbrosnan: I installed flash from Adobe's website, but that made Firefox Portable unstable/freeze. Thinking about installing another Flash program. | 05:33 |
| xangua | !appdb | tdelam | 05:33 |
| xangua | i would preffer gimp or krita | 05:33 |
| ubottu | tdelam: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 05:33 |
| etienne | slakcphil: nope... I just set up ubuntu 10.10 server with the minimum | 05:33 |
| tdelam | wine, excellent | 05:33 |
| pfifo | etienne, i think you just need to add a second ip address to your internal interface to access the second subnet | 05:34 |
| pfifo | etienne, you only need to add routing info if your trying to go from client to client | 05:35 |
| slakcphil | etienne: yeah it ships with ufw | 05:35 |
| etienne | pfifo: yep that's whay I tried with a route add ... | 05:35 |
| tdelam | next question, is it possible to install Ubuntu with a USB stick or do I need a DVD or CD to burn it onto and then install from there | 05:35 |
| xangua | whatever you want to use tdelam | 05:36 |
| pfifo | etienne, my support stops there, i only use oldschool iptables, no idea about the front ends | 05:36 |
| dd214 | thnx all, from what I've read, more secure to run gksudo for GUI apps b/c its secure... | 05:36 |
| tdelam | xangua: so it is possible to install from a usb? | 05:36 |
| xangua | yes tdelam | 05:36 |
| etienne | pfifo: hehehe no problem I'm only in command line | 05:36 |
| tdelam | xangua: Oh, how? simply drag the iso onto my usb and boot from USB or do i need to do something special? | 05:37 |
| dd214 | running wireshark.. but could not detect any NICs, so this is how that came up | 05:37 |
| etienne | slakcphil: ufw to restrict incoming but I think my pb may be more from the routing part | 05:37 |
| kbrosnan | tor_: then use Linux Firefox and Flash, it will likely work better | 05:37 |
| etienne | and I'm a lame about routing | 05:37 |
| xangua | tdelam: ubuntu.com | 05:37 |
| xangua | good night | 05:37 |
| tdelam | ok? | 05:38 |
| IdleOne | !usb | tdelam | 05:38 |
| ubottu | tdelam: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 05:38 |
| etienne | pfifo: my eth0 is on 192.168.0.50 and need to access a 192.168.2.20 machine | 05:38 |
| etienne | do I really need to add an IP on eth0 ? | 05:38 |
| redent | tdelam: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download look at step 2 | 05:38 |
| pfifo | your eth0 should have an ip address for both subnets, yes | 05:39 |
| hrezaei1 | pfifo: thanks it works. I've installed very things via internet on my ubuntu. vga drivers,mp3 plugins,lamp,and many others. Is there anyway avoiding re downloading them on another ubuntu?(else than aptoncd!) | 05:39 |
| tdelam | ok thankjs | 05:40 |
| hrezaei1 | pfifo: somthing like aptonUSB?!! aptonHard?! | 05:40 |
| pfifo | hrezaei1, it stores the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives/ you could copy them to another machine of the same ubuntu version to save download time | 05:40 |
| hrezaei1 | pfifo: is it enough to just copynig them ? | 05:41 |
| pfifo | etienne, if i was in you shoes, i would make the server the gateway for both subnets, give NAT to both of them to the inter net, and als NAT them to eachother | 05:42 |
| pfifo | hrezaei1, yeah it will use them if they are there and the gpg sigs match | 05:43 |
| hrezaei1 | pfifo: I can not pase there anything! how to config graphical interface to run all commands with sudo?!! is it possible? | 05:46 |
| etienne | arghh pfifo... that's a high science for me :) | 05:46 |
| pfifo | etienne, that sounds like lots of fun to me | 05:46 |
| etienne | pfifo: I understand | 05:47 |
| sam_ | hello | 05:47 |
| etienne | pfifo: and desperate by the way heheheheh | 05:47 |
| sam_ | I have ubuntu 10.10 I am trying to get my old intel extreme 82845g card to run 3d etc...Can anyone help | 05:47 |
| pfifo | hrezaei1, try `sudo -s` to get a root shell | 05:48 |
| pfifo | hrezaei1, then you wont need sudo | 05:48 |
| visitor1 | someybody know of irc client with spell checkingß | 05:49 |
| visitor1 | ? | 05:49 |
| pfifo | etienne, and then install dhcpd and bind, add a wireless ap, and setup diskless nodes :D | 05:49 |
| visitor1 | under windows i know it exits one | 05:49 |
| sam_ | I have ubuntu 10.10 I am trying to get my old intel extreme 82845g card to run 3d etc...Can anyone help | 05:49 |
| hrezaei1 | pfifo: I think it is for teminal. in terminal using sudo I can change permissions,copy files,rename,etc. but in desktop (gnome) I can not. | 05:50 |
| hrezaei1 | pfifo: Is there anyway to give gnome the root access? | 05:51 |
| pfifo | hrezaei1, normally anything you do as root needs to be done on the command line, root dosent usually want a GUI | 05:51 |
| pfifo | !root | hrezaei1 | 05:52 |
| ubottu | hrezaei1: 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 | 05:52 |
| shazzner_ | hey there, I've got a problem with my joystick/gamepad | 05:52 |
| pfifo | no stupid bot that not wat i wanted | 05:52 |
| shazzner_ | for some reason it's acting as a mouse | 05:52 |
| seravitae | hi there. i'm trying to find a file on my ubuntu 10.10 box. i know the file must exist as a program is failing on a particular line of the file, yet, i cannot find it in GUI search, or using 'locate'. | 05:52 |
| seravitae | any ideas how i might more rigourously try to locate the file? | 05:52 |
| MaRk-I | visitor1: xchat does, dont know about other clients | 05:52 |
| sam_ | I have ubuntu 10.10 I am trying to get my old intel extreme 82845g card to run 3d etc...Can anyone help | 05:52 |
| shazzner_ | or I guess I should say, when I'm playing a game mouse events go on in the background | 05:53 |
| shazzner_ | anyway to stop that? | 05:53 |
| Simath | seravitae: did you make sure to update the db for locate? | 05:53 |
| oscargot | ` | 05:53 |
| pfifo | hrezaei1, you can sudo passwd and set a password for the root account, then login to gnome as root, but ubuntu generally dose not like that | 05:53 |
| === amir_ is now known as Guest26849 | ||
| pfifo | hrezaei1, but thats honestly the first thing i do after i install | 05:54 |
| MaRk-I | sam_: have you tried System> Preferences > Appearance enable effects? | 05:54 |
| shazzner_ | actually I could probably figure it out on my own if I knew where the joystick was being configured | 05:54 |
| shazzner_ | ie xorg.conf | 05:54 |
| sam_ | Yes, it says something along the lines of 'can't enable effects' | 05:54 |
| hrezaei1 | I dont like every time I want to chmod a file or folder,going to terminal,cd to there and run it. just right click and... | 05:54 |
| hrezaei1 | ok, how to login gnome as root? | 05:54 |
| etienne | pfifo: when you you route... is that persistent? | 05:54 |
| shazzner_ | but I have no idea where that is in maverick | 05:55 |
| etienne | or should I write the route somewhere ? | 05:55 |
| pfifo | etienne, ehh, well i write my own initscript to setup iptables, not really sure in your case | 05:55 |
| seravitae | Simath - nope, ill try that | 05:55 |
| sam_ | I have found this web site but am not sure what I need to download http://intellinuxgraphics.org/ | 05:56 |
| MK`` | When I try to install samba it says "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.", yet it's from the software center | 05:56 |
| seravitae | Simath - updatedb && locate hal_evergreen.c && locate * | grep hal_evergreen all return nothing | 05:56 |
| hiexpo | sam_, why you need driver? | 05:57 |
| sam_ | Yes | 05:57 |
| pfifo | hrezaei1, on the command line type `sudo -l` then `passwd` it will prompt you to enter a password twice, then log out of gnome as a normal uswe and relog in as "root" using the password you set | 05:57 |
| sam_ | I have installed ubuntu 10.10, but i dont have 3d functions | 05:57 |
| MaRk-I | sam_: first you need to know which video card you have, and the problem on why compiz is not running | 05:57 |
| etienne | seems route makes persistent rules | 05:57 |
| etienne | Thanks pfifo | 05:58 |
| etienne | thank you all | 05:58 |
| pfifo | etienne, good luck | 05:58 |

| KINGOFSWORDS | how do i install windwos after ubuntu dual boot? | 05:59 |
| axxekorr | Im a conservative k why are you guys so liberal man?? | 05:59 |
| hiexpo | sam_, have you looked in /system/administration /hardware drivers | 05:59 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i have gparted do i need 2 do anything first b4 i install windows | 05:59 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, youll have to boot a livecd and rescue grub if you install windows AFTER installing ubuntu | 05:59 |
| hiexpo | KINGOFSWORDS, ya install windows first | 06:00 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | pfifo do i do that after ive instlled windows thou? | 06:00 |
| sam_ | hiexpo, yes it says 'no propriety drivers are in use in this system' | 06:00 |
| pfifo | axxekorr, im conservative, i got the 800watt PSU instead of the 1000w | 06:01 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i have to use gparted to nfts sum space for windwos and copy the mbr 1st? | 06:01 |
| hiexpo | sam_, ok is there one in the list | 06:01 |
| buzzomatic_ | Hi | 06:01 |
| sam_ | hiexpo, no | 06:01 |
| === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja | ||

| === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest51330 | ||
| buzzomatic_ | I've got gigabit lan setup at home between two machines, each is connected at 1000Mb/s. | 06:02 |
| hiexpo | sam_, bummer | 06:02 |
| buzzomatic_ | But for some reason whenever I try and connect between these machines, using any protocol, the speed is terrible | 06:02 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, i reccommend first installing windows, then ubuntu, windows install ashould handle formatting ntfs for you, and ubuntu will install grub to dual boot automatically | 06:02 |
| sam_ | hiexpo, does that mean ubuntu does not support my graphics controller? | 06:02 |
| buzzomatic_ | For example, I try to scp a 700MB file between them, and it maxes out at 2MB/s with frequent stalls | 06:03 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | but its too late i already have ubuntu | 06:03 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | only want 2 install windwos for a game | 06:03 |
| buzzomatic_ | Last night I was getting 50MB/s just fine :S | 06:03 |
| hiexpo | sam_, on sec what video card you have ? | 06:03 |
| buzzomatic_ | All I've done in between is restart each machine | 06:03 |
| sam_ | Intel® 82845G Graphics Controller | 06:03 |
| hiexpo | sam_, 1 minute | 06:04 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, then you will have to reinstall grub afterwards from the livecd you dont need to do anything special before hand | 06:04 |
| sam_ | hiexpo, ok and thanks | 06:04 |
| buzzomatic_ | Can anyone help me figure out why the connection is so poor? | 06:04 |

| YankDownUnder | KINGOFSWORDS, Virtually. | 06:05 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, gaming in linux is crap, all the vm's and wine are all crap, you really want windows to play windows games | 06:05 |
| conical | I'm getting a dependency error I don't understand | 06:05 |
| YankDownUnder | Actually, I beg to differ - there is Playonlinux and Crossover Games for Linux... | 06:06 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | ok so i just install windows and then follow guide to reinstall grub from livecd | 06:06 |
| conical | when I try to install pokerth, ubuntu complains "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libboost-filesystem1.42.0 (>= 1.42.0-1)" | 06:06 |

| YankDownUnder | KINGOFSWORDS, I don't play that - so I don't know. However, I'm more than happy playing my HL2 on both Playonlinux and Crossover Games | 06:07 |
| Tux91 | i think they got scripts for it | 06:07 |
| hiexpo | sam_, look at this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/intel-82845g-graphics-controller-352262/ | 06:07 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | yeh but half life is old...i have san andreas in wine and thats fine | 06:07 |
| sam_ | hiexpo, thanks | 06:08 |
| bullgard4 | buzzomatic_: use iotop for a start. | 06:08 |

| KINGOFSWORDS | or do i have to set aside some space for windows stuff | 06:09 |
| IanWizard-Mobile | hiexpo, I have it, still, nothing. thoggen, k3b, totem, nothong works | 06:09 |
| lwizardl | bullgard4, I thought banshee was a media player not a content downloader | 06:09 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, starcraft 2 is pretty slow too, WoW is fine, GTA4 didnt run at all | 06:10 |
| IanWizard-Mobile | oh wait, i remember a script that I had to run last time to actually download and install it. | 06:10 |
| hiexpo | IanWizard-Mobile, do you have the medibuntu repos installed | 06:10 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | nah | 06:10 |
| bullgard4 | lwizardl: " Banshee is an media management and playback application for the GNOME desktop, allowing users to import audio from CDs, search their library, create playlists of selections of their library, sync music to/from iPods and other media devices, play and manage video files and burn selections to a CD." | 06:10 |
| IanWizard-Mobile | hiexpo, no, but I have all of the defaults enabled, multi/uni verse | 06:10 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | how much space should i partition in gparted for windows 7? i want14gb for gta 4 | 06:10 |
| hiexpo | IanWizard-Mobile, try adding the mediabuntu repos > probally missing codecs | 06:11 |
| user__ | 06:12 | |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, windows 7 wants 16gb and if your game needs 14gb then 30gb asll together, maybe a bit more for drivers and such | 06:12 |
| lwizardl | bullgard4, ok then that program does not answer the question. since that is a player & not a subscription type service | 06:12 |
| lwizardl | I keep finding stuff like gpodder and juice but none of them seem to find many feeds/shows/etc | 06:12 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | game is on ubuntu hdd already can i install it from that? | 06:12 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, you can get ext2 file system drives for windows 7 and access you entire linux partiton, install games there and everything | 06:13 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | oh so i only need to partition 16gb for the windows install then? | 06:14 |
| pfifo | its upto you, but ext2 drivers are one of your options | 06:14 |
| Tux91 | its ext 3 | 06:15 |
| Tux91 | for mine | 06:15 |
| AegNuddel | I have a piece of software that ends up having more than one dependency but when I backtrack to them, it ends up with conflicting dependencies | 06:15 |
| pfifo | my windows drivers do both ext2 and 3 but not 4 | 06:15 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | do i partion ext2 in gparted? | 06:16 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, ubuntu is already installed do its too late to format, you probbally have ext3 | 06:17 |

| pfifo | mordof, ubuntu-restricted-extras and mplayer are all i need, have had alot of luck with vlc too | 06:24 |
| larious | YankDownUnder: honestly the server belong to my friend he gave me for renting it and he neva want to install the php tp help the situation | 06:24 |
| YankDownUnder | larious, If he didn't give a root password, or sudo access, then you'll have to reset the root password (or create one) | 06:25 |
| pfifo | without the root password its not really your server. | 06:26 |
| mordof | pfifo: never liked vlc when i was in windows | 06:26 |
| mordof | pfifo: though at that time media player classic was the better alternative | 06:26 |

| pfifo | mordof, its pretty much exactly the same in linux so you probbally still wont like it | 06:27 |

| YankDownUnder | larious, Can you use "sudo" on that machine? | 06:27 |

| mordof | pfifo: gnome mplayer seems to be working reliably.. | 06:28 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | is there anyway to wipe ubuntu but keep media files for use in windows? | 06:29 |
| larious | YankDownUnder: sudo what? | 06:29 |
| YankDownUnder | larious, What you can do is: sudo passwd => enter new password for root | 06:29 |
| jellyware | join #computerbank | 06:30 |

| quatch | I had Ubuntu 10.10 dual booting with windows 7. I reformated and used unetbootin to install debian 6 x64 all inside of one partiton. Now when I boot up it says Verifying DMI pool data....then just hangs. It will let me boot with a ubuntu 9.10 live cd, but I dont have a debian live cd. If I run sudo grub-update from live it tells me error: could not find device path for /. What to do? | 06:40 |
| lifeform | I have never used this thing before and came on jsut in case anyone knew how to make a web cam work with skype. Please forgive me if I have the ettiquest wrong. If there is a correct way to ask questions please could someone tell me. | 06:41 |
| Flannel | lifeform: Yep, the best way to ask a question is to just ask :) | 06:41 |
| ubuntues | How do you edit a folder appearance, like how the downloads folder has the little icon? | 06:41 |
| Guest43936 | quatch: Have you tried reinstalling debian onto that partition? | 06:41 |
| lifeform | Thank you flannel | 06:42 |
| quatch | yes and when i boot it does the hang and wont boot up | 06:42 |
| quatch | i reformated installed debian and now it says veifying dmi pool data | 06:42 |

| keidori | quick question, do you feel that ubuntu runs well with ati or nvidia? | 06:42 |
| HTCPX | I'm at maverick installation screen where i have option to download updates while installing. is it better to tick this or update after installation? | 06:43 |
| MaRk-I | Guest43936: you mean secure as in asking for password or secure as in encrypting the connection? | 06:43 |
| mordof | keidori: i prefer nvidia over ati for ubuntu | 06:43 |
| lifeform | To Quatch, it could be the differant grub loaders that you need to look at between the versions you used grub changed from legasy to 2 | 06:43 |
| ubuntues | How do you edit your folders in ubuntu, like how your music foldr has a music icon? | 06:43 |
| keidori | mordof: and why is that? | 06:44 |
| mordof | keidori: last time i tried ati - the drivers weren't really that good.. nvidia's drivers have been much better for me | 06:44 |
| lifeform | It runs ok with nvidea | 06:44 |
| pfifo | quatch, i like debian and all, but its not quite as usr friendly as ubuntu, you should really consider ubuntu over debian until you got the hang of things. | 06:44 |
| mordof | keidori: the nvidia driver GUI panel covered dual monitor config and whatnot perfectly | 06:44 |
| mordof | keidori: though that may also be because my ati card was legacy | 06:44 |
| keidori | mordof: ahhh I see I hear that ati works better, but thats why I ask | 06:44 |
| * mordof shrugs | 06:44 | |
| quatch | so should i just try to install ubuntu? | 06:45 |
| HTCPX | should I tick the option to update while installing or update after ubuntu installation? | 06:45 |
| mordof | keidori: i'm having no problems at all with my card. | 06:45 |
| quatch | or am i gonna have the same problem with mbr? | 06:45 |
| keidori | I'm running a ati 5770 and its ok, but Im having some issues with 1080p videos | 06:45 |
| mordof | keidori: gtx 460 1gb, so i would hope not.. originally got it for gaming and then decided to ditch windows, lol | 06:45 |
| mordof | hmm.. | 06:45 |
| keidori | and on a card like this I wouldn't think so | 06:45 |
| mordof | i don't have any 1080p videos to test i don't think *checks* | 06:45 |
| pfifo | quatch, you should install the cd you have for ubuntu to atleast get a working OS | 06:45 |
| tomatobros | HTCPX: do it later for fast installation | 06:46 |
| keidori | mordof: same thing, I was gaming but I got bored and switched to ubuntu | 06:46 |
| lifeform | You could try running from the live cd then going to update drivers ( obviously you don't ) that would at least show if a driver is available. | 06:46 |
| quatch | if i install 9.10 wil lbe able to update to 10.10 without a dvd? | 06:46 |
| optidude | hmmmm | 06:46 |
| pfifo | quatch, you can | 06:46 |
| optidude | what is the easiest way to uninstall ubuntu and re-install in different partition :-) | 06:47 |
| quatch | just do it like normally updating? | 06:47 |
| lifeform | Technically yes but on the forums the general thought are that a clean install is far better than an upgrade. | 06:47 |
| Guest43936 | MaRk-I: I know Vino can be set up with a password, so yeah, I mean encrypting the connection | 06:47 |
| quatch | well i dont have any blank dvds but i can install 10.10 with usb? | 06:47 |
| optidude | i cant get back into my vista install on my laptop...hehehe | 06:47 |
| quatch | idk how thats viewed compared to dvd install | 06:48 |

| disappearedng | philipballew: check under your computer, is there a hole? | 07:15 |
| dshbusiness | I have a question about git, but nowhere to ask. When I delete a file named e.c under branch exp, with rm command, then switch back to master, I cannot find e.c. | 07:16 |
| philipballew | haha. yes, its about 6 inches wide | 07:16 |

| AegNuddel | There seems to be a programming error in aptdaemon, the software that allows you to install/remove software and to perform other package management related tasks. Please report this error at http://launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+filebug and retry. | 07:18 |
| hiexpo | philipballew, have you rebooted since than | 07:18 |

| hrezaei1 | People! anyone to help me installing Wireless WLAN 1501 Half Mini-Card on dell N5010? | 07:22 |
| hiexpo | cakebot9000, what you mean ? | 07:23 |
| PDSmedia | the only reference I have is the PDF file found on the Ubuntu site. It requires that you edit a lot of configuration files... but does not mention what commands allow u to do that | 07:23 |
| cakebot9000 | hiexpo: p linux-image-2.6.35-25-virtual - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.35 on x86/x86_64 | 07:23 |
| cakebot9000 | ^^ what does the p at the start mean? | 07:24 |
| dustin | do this everyone ,sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update | 07:24 |

| MK`` | Ugh. | 07:24 |
| cakebot9000 | p is no trace | 07:24 |

| dustin | whats the specs? | 07:27 |
| AegNuddel | this make won't work like it says | 07:28 |
| dustin | hrezaei1, whats the specs ? | 07:28 |

| AegNuddel | I downloaded a file | 07:30 |
| SoftDroid | After an update everytime I turn on the computer I see the Grub GNu menu, how can can switch it off? | 07:30 |
| MK`` | I was editing the Applications menu to move stuff around when it lost focus and I accidentally deleted one of the root folders. I clicked "revert" on menu changes I made, and it reverted the structure but just deleted any things I had in custom folders I made... how do I restore them? | 07:30 |
| AegNuddel | hiexpo, I downloaded a file. I try to un make as per the instrructions, and it gives me an error about a filr gnome generates not being there | 07:31 |
| hiexpo | MK``, i think your stuck | 07:31 |
| dustin | SOFTWARE AND HAREWARE, OS A FULL OUT PUT OF YOU COMPUTER | 07:31 |
| hiexpo | AegNuddel, it tells you what you need | 07:31 |
| AegNuddel | hiexpo, this precisely; configure: error: Could not find the gnomeConf.sh file that is generated by gnome-libs install | 07:32 |
| MK`` | *sigh* I'll just uninstall and reinstall all those programs | 07:32 |
| dustin | hrezaei1, heloo ? | 07:33 |
| syrinx_ | MK``: how do you accidently delete the root folder? thats pretty impossible | 07:33 |
| AegNuddel | so hiexpo ... what's it mean? | 07:33 |
| hiexpo | AegNuddel, did you read the read me and install read mefilefirst | 07:33 |
| gaelfx | syrinx_: there are many joke posts of commands that would do that | 07:33 |
| gaelfx | syrinx_: never underestimate the power of stupidity | 07:33 |
| hrezaei1 | dustin: what do you mean?!! | 07:33 |
| MK`` | syrinx_: I mean, I pressed delete on a folder, but for whatever reason, it moved up to its parent and deleted that. it wasn't the root menu for everything, just that group I was working on | 07:33 |

| pankaj_sharma | lol no | 07:34 |
| syrinx_ | interesting.... | 07:34 |
| syrinx_ | !ask | x3point14x | 07:34 |
| ubottu | x3point14x: 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. :-) | 07:34 |
| gaelfx | MK``: if you're using ext4, it shouldn't be a problem to recover the space, there are tools out there freely available to recover those things | 07:35 |
| x3point14x | is there any equivalent of a goto command? | 07:35 |
| syrinx_ | a goto command? in what? | 07:35 |
| SoftDroid | No one? | 07:35 |
| MK`` | It'll be easier for me to do this the hard way, it seems | 07:35 |
| x3point14x | in a .sh script | 07:35 |
| tsimpson | x3point14x: you don't need goto, use functions instead | 07:35 |
| x3point14x | well heres the scenario | 07:36 |
| x3point14x | i got a scipt that i want to run wait 5 minutes then run itself again | 07:36 |
| x3point14x | i was hoping to be able to run this inside of a screen | 07:36 |
| x3point14x | so i could check up on it | 07:36 |
| syrinx_ | could set it up as a cronjob | 07:36 |
| tsimpson | sounds more like you want to use cron | 07:36 |
| wrefdsfds | hello | 07:37 |
| wrefdsfds | question | 07:37 |
| x3point14x | i tried cron bit for whatever reason it doesnt run properly | 07:37 |
| x3point14x | itll run fine a few times | 07:37 |
| x3point14x | then just stop | 07:37 |
| syrinx_ | probably wrote it wrong? | 07:37 |
| syrinx_ | 99% of the time, a problem is linux/unix is human error :) | 07:38 |
| x3point14x | */5 * * * * /sync.sh | 07:38 |
| syrinx_ | s/in/is/ | 07:38 |
| x3point14x | the script works fine if i run it manualy | 07:39 |
| zcat[1] | I'd guess your paths in cron don't match your paths in the shell so the script isn't finding stuff.. | 07:39 |
| x3point14x | how would i fix that? | 07:39 |
| x3point14x | the script is sitting in the root of the drive | 07:39 |

| MK`` | I reinstalled the programs but it did not re-create their icons in the menu now :| any idea why that would happen? | 07:44 |

| Lewoco | loglad, alt-num iirc? | 07:44 |
| x3point14x | does it log its actions anywhere? | 07:44 |
| zcat[1] | Lewoco: there probably is but I don't know ;) | 07:44 |
| tsimpson | Lewoco: usually "xdg-open" will do the right thing | 07:45 |
| syrinx_ | x3point14x: maybe in /log/ | 07:45 |
| syrinx_ | or /etc/log | 07:45 |
| tsimpson | /var/log | 07:45 |
| tsimpson | usually /var/log/syslog | 07:45 |

| Pip | :D | 08:26 |
| Pip | tor_, You tried Windows 7 with wine ? | 08:27 |
| Starminn | tor_: Then yes, a virtual machine is the way to go. I have an XP virtual machine on my system, personally. | 08:27 |
| mkquist | Pip: it might give you a hint | 08:27 |
| Pip | okay | 08:27 |
| Starminn | Pip: Doesn't work that way. Stop spouting rabble. | 08:27 |
| Pip | Starminn, What doesn't work ? | 08:27 |
| perojok | hi | 08:28 |
| tor_ | Windows 7 in Wine? | 08:28 |
| Pip | tor_, I don't think windows 7 works in wine | 08:28 |
| mkquist | Pip: Windows 7 and wine works fine for me... | 08:28 |
| perojok | i'm doing "grep -E template < file" and got "Binary file (standard input) matches", whats wrong? | 08:28 |
| tor_ | Trying Virtualbox | 08:29 |
| Pip | Ah | 08:29 |
| Pip | I thought somebody wants to run windows 7 on wine | 08:29 |
| tor_ | How do you run Win 7 in Wine? | 08:29 |
| mkquist | Pip: sorry, vbox and win7 works fine... | 08:29 |
| greppy | tor_: you can't | 08:29 |
| Pip | tor_, I don't think you can | 08:29 |
| Pip | tor_, wine is not a virtual machine | 08:30 |
| mkquist | Pip: watch the updates though... they can break it, as far as windows geniune... lalala | 08:30 |
| bounder | ain't gotta clue? | 08:30 |
| perojok | i fixed it! | 08:31 |
| amybunny | anyone know a partition tool for winxp that I can run in winxp with full functionality for deleting partitions? | 08:32 |
| Pip | amybunny, Partition Magic | 08:32 |
| KM0201 | Pip, thats not for Windows is it? | 08:32 |
| Pip | It IS | 08:32 |
| Pip | With Partition Magic, you can divide your C:\ into parts on the fly | 08:33 |
| greppy | amybunny: what are you trying to do? | 08:33 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, google "Easus Partition Master"... it's a good windows tool | 08:34 |
| Pip | amybunny, You are on ubuntu, why can do anything on linux | 08:34 |
| amybunny | partition magic demo tool would let me delete the partitions but not commit the changes | 08:34 |
| Pip | amybunny, Why did you use demo ? | 08:34 |
| Pip | amybunny, wait, what exactly do you want to do ? | 08:34 |
| canadacow2 | hhh/exit | 08:34 |
| canadacow2 | hhh/exit | 08:34 |
| Pip | I said you can get anything done on Linux | 08:34 |
| bounder | last attempt | 08:35 |
| greppy | amybunny: are you trying to delete a linux partition in windows? | 08:35 |
| Pip | greppy, Oh, no :S | 08:35 |
| amybunny | pip: the system has 2 linux partitions on it currently. The Ubuntu installation disc's partition tool does not allow you to delete the partition and then install alongside an existing OS. | 08:35 |
| Pip | I would assume she wants to extend linux world | 08:35 |
| DirtyDawg | gparted is good too | 08:35 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, sure it does, i do it all the time | 08:35 |
| greppy | Pip: by assuming instead of asking what people are trying to accomplish, you'll end up making mistakes :) | 08:36 |
| amybunny | ok, lets give it a try, and I'll ask when it starts borking | 08:36 |
| Pip | amybunny, You can't delete a partition that is mounted | 08:36 |
| Pip | I mean being mounted | 08:37 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, get to the partition stage.. and i'll tell you how to do it... make sure all your partitions are unmounted, etc | 08:37 |
| amybunny | this is straight off the installation disc, so it shouldn't be mounted? | 08:37 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, ok.. as long as they aren't mounted | 08:38 |
| Pip | amybunny, there is a tool for linux which is almost as powerful as PM | 08:38 |
| Pip | GParted | 08:38 |
| amybunny | im a bit more familiar with fdisk/cfdisk | 08:38 |
| Pip | :D | 08:38 |
| Pip | amybunny, GParted is totally "what you see is what you will get" | 08:38 |
| amybunny | ah, that's the one with the moveable bar for partition size, right? | 08:39 |
| Pip | Yes | 08:39 |
| amybunny | included with the Ubuntu installation disc | 08:39 |
| quuxman | Is there a new system for starting and stopping services, that replaces sysvinit I think? | 08:39 |
| KM0201 | pretty much, but if you want to delete an old ubuntu install, and install a new one, then you don't want to use the "auto" partition tool | 08:39 |
| amybunny | psay yeah, that's what I need to do. delete an old/mistaken ubuntu install | 08:40 |
| amybunny | i was a bit tired when doing the first installation and grabbed the desktop disc instead of the netbook disc. | 08:40 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, ok.. thats really not difficult at all. | 08:40 |
| gaelfx | hm, I thought the partitioner in the install was gparted? | 08:40 |
| Tyrnis | plop all | 08:41 |
| amybunny | without deleting the whole drive (because of the windows OS that is installed that I want to keep installed alongside it) | 08:41 |
| amybunny | Im helping my cousin get acquainted with linux, I thought Ubuntu would be a good first distro for him | 08:41 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, right.. it really should be a piece of cake | 08:41 |
| amybunny | *nods* | 08:41 |
| KM0201 | are you on the live cd now? | 08:41 |
| amybunny | the install disk is booting up now, It should be pretty easy. | 08:42 |
| KM0201 | ok | 08:42 |
| Zpix | hi all | 08:42 |
| amybunny | hey zpix | 08:42 |
| Zpix | I compiled 2.6.38 kernel on ubuntu 10.10 but with this kernel i can't boot | 08:42 |
| sburwood1 | I have a problem with /home/¬/ICEauthority. Someone told me to get a recovery console during boot to do chown user.user /home/user/ICEauthority. How do I get a recovery console? My system doesn't give me a choice of kernels, recovery, etc | 08:42 |
| Zpix | amybunny: hi :) | 08:42 |
| VIC-20 | Hello, I am trying to make a grub boot floppy with my current grub configuration and the instructions on the grub how-to are failing me | 08:42 |
| quuxman | I installed mysql-server, and apt asked me to type "Yes, do as I say!" which I knew was a bad idea, but I did it anyway | 08:43 |
| quuxman | surprise, now my system doesn't boot | 08:43 |
| amybunny | ok, so try or install | 08:43 |
| quuxman | I remember it installing a package that conflicted with sysvinit, or something | 08:43 |
| amybunny | i'll choose install, right? | 08:43 |
| quuxman | but I can't remember what it was called | 08:43 |
| Pip | amybunny, Install what ? | 08:43 |
| quuxman | now that I'm chrooted in to the system, I can't figure out what to uninstall | 08:43 |
| amybunny | Ubuntu, from the booted Ubuntu disc I have in, | 08:43 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, yes, choose install, answer the mickey mouse questions till you get to the partition stage, then lemme know when you're there | 08:44 |
| Pip | amybunny, You are on Live CD or something ? | 08:44 |
| Pip | Hmm | 08:44 |
| Zpix | I compiled 2.6.38 kernel on ubuntu 10.10 but with this kernel i can't boot, any idea? | 08:44 |
| iceroot | Zpix: what about usefull infos? | 08:44 |
| Pip | Zpix, what do you mean by "can't boot" ? | 08:44 |
| amybunny | I wonder if I can get my cousin using vim too :D | 08:44 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, lol.. let him crawl before he starts training for a marathon | 08:45 |
| Zpix | Pip: when I wanna boot with this kernel after 4 sec the computer will be shut down | 08:45 |
| amybunny | OpenOffice -> or ...emacs? | 08:45 |
| Pip | Zpix, How did you compile the kernel ? | 08:45 |
| KM0201 | Libre Office.. :) | 08:45 |
| quuxman | Ah yes! it was called upstart | 08:45 |
| quuxman | upstart totally screwed my system | 08:46 |
| aliverius | i mistakenly erased one partition of my raid 1 | 08:46 |
| Pip | amybunny, They are totally different two things | 08:46 |
| aliverius | now i am trying to use mdadm to correct this | 08:46 |
| aliverius | is assemble the mode i need? | 08:46 |
| aliverius | like mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda3? | 08:46 |
| aliverius | or create? | 08:46 |
| FloodBot2 | aliverius: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:46 |
| amybunny | ok, so install alongside other OSes or specify partitions manually? | 08:46 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, manually | 08:46 |
| amybunny | then just highlight and delete the offending partitions? | 08:47 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, well, what are your current partitions | 08:47 |
| ChronicSyncope | halp | 08:47 |
| ChronicSyncope | my phone wont charge | 08:47 |
| ChronicSyncope | iphone | 08:47 |
| iceroot | ChronicSyncope: #iphone | 08:47 |
| Zpix | Pip: I downloaded latest kernel from kernel.org then I extracted the folder, first command was: sudo make bzimage then: make xconfig and then make moudles and moudles-instal and then make install | 08:47 |
| KM0201 | lol | 08:47 |
| amybunny | sda1(winxp) sda5(ext4) sda6(swap) | 08:47 |
| ChronicSyncope | really iceroot do you think they can help me with ubuntu | 08:47 |
| ChronicSyncope | they're probably a bunch of macholes | 08:47 |
| Pip | Zpix, OMG :D | 08:48 |
| KM0201 | ok... so really all you need to delete, is sda5.. .is its mount point / ? | 08:48 |
| VIC-20 | Hello, I am trying to make a grub boot floppy with my current grub configuration and the instructions on the grub how-to are failing me. | 08:48 |
| greppy | !ot | ChronicSyncope | 08:48 |
| ubottu | ChronicSyncope: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 08:48 |
| Zpix | Pip: what :D | 08:48 |
| iceroot | ChronicSyncope: i dont know, this is ubuntu support and not the support channel for a strange mobile phone from a very strange company | 08:48 |
| ChronicSyncope | let me rephrase that then | 08:48 |
| Pip | Zpix, That's not how it's done | 08:48 |
| amybunny | it showed no mount point. | 08:48 |
| ChronicSyncope | my iphone wont charge IN UBUNTU | 08:48 |
| dman | can anyone tell me where the channel on MUTE is | 08:48 |
| KM0201 | well thats interesting.. and there wer no other partitions, just those 3? | 08:48 |
| greppy | ChronicSyncope: does it charge if you boot another OS on the same PC? | 08:48 |
| ChronicSyncope | yes | 08:48 |
| greppy | interesting. | 08:48 |
| Zpix | Pip: oh! :D I found this from net | 08:48 |
| Pip | Zpix, You need to configure it before compilation really starts | 08:48 |
| ChronicSyncope | but in ubuntu | 08:48 |
| ChronicSyncope | it gives me the yellow triangle | 08:48 |
| WaltherFI | ChronicSyncope: try unmounting it but keeping it in | 08:48 |
| amybunny | yup, all were listed under /dev/sda | 08:49 |
| Zpix | Pip: how? | 08:49 |
| ChronicSyncope | WaltherFI, good idea! | 08:49 |
| ChronicSyncope | i bet that will work | 08:49 |
| WaltherFI | ChronicSyncope: that's what i do with my kindle 3g | 08:49 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, ok.. how big is your swap | 08:49 |
| ChronicSyncope | thanks | 08:49 |
| Pip | Zpix, Since you know almost nothing about this dirty job, why bother ? | 08:49 |
| WaltherFI | ChronicSyncope: right click, eject | 08:49 |
| ChronicSyncope | yeah it was working until i installed the iphone utils... | 08:49 |
| amybunny | so, I'll select 'delete' for the two linux partitions and start fresh with 'free space'? | 08:49 |
| ChronicSyncope | WaltherFI, thanks i can eject my devices xD | 08:49 |
| Pip | Zpix, Don't do it, just go with the stock kernel | 08:49 |
| amybunny | about 1.5Gb | 08:49 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, if the swap space is an acceptable size, you really dn't hav to delete that | 08:49 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, how much physical ram on that system? | 08:49 |
| Zpix | Pip: hmmmmmmm so I can find DEB files for this | 08:49 |
| WaltherFI | ChronicSyncope: just to make sure - better to be too helpful than not enough | 08:49 |
| Pip | Zpix, It will take a week to tell you how to compile a kernel correctly | 08:49 |
| ChronicSyncope | WaltherFI, i just hadn't thought about that solution, but since it started happening after i tried installing some iphone utils | 08:50 |
| ChronicSyncope | that will probably fix it | 08:50 |
| Zpix | Pip: =)) | 08:50 |
| Zpix | Pip: so I prefer to go and search about it to know | 08:50 |
| amybunny | ok, after deleting the main partition, "add" it from free space? | 08:50 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 08:50 |
| Pip | Zpix, Let me give you a hint if you are really addicted into this | 08:51 |
| Zpix | Pip: :* | 08:51 |
| Pip | Zpix, there is a book called <Linux Kernel in Nutshell> | 08:51 |
| KM0201 | amy.. this i what you want... "Primary" "Beginning" (max out the size), "ext4 journalizing filesystem" and then mount point is " / " and thats it. | 08:51 |
| Zpix | Pip: oh good | 08:51 |
| amybunny | KM0201, logical/38323mb/beginning/ext4// | 08:51 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, see above. | 08:51 |
| * amybunny nods | 08:51 | |
| KM0201 | ok.. logical works fine to. | 08:51 |
| Pip | Don't be scared, it's a small book, easy to read Zpix | 08:51 |
| KM0201 | now, click OK, and that should take you back to the main screen | 08:52 |
| * KM0201 never uses logical partitions | 08:52 | |
| KM0201 | amybunny, back at the main screen after you've saved chose changes, click the "Format" button, and then click Install, and continue w/ the process | 08:52 |
| Zpix | Pip: sorry say again | 08:53 |
| Pip | Zpix, The book is very think | 08:53 |
| Pip | *thin | 08:53 |
| Zpix | Pip: please say the name again :P | 08:53 |
| amybunny | at the main screen, there is no save, just quit, back, install now | 08:53 |
| KM0201 | right, click install now | 08:53 |
| greppy | Zpix: another option if you really want to learn more is: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ | 08:54 |
| Pip | Zpix, <Kernel In a Nutshell> | 08:54 |
| bullgard4 | System > Preferences > Startup Applications shows 20 applications asserted. Why does ~/.config/autostart list only 7? | 08:54 |
| aliverius | no wrong | 08:54 |
| Pip | Zpix, <Linux Kernel in a Nutshell> | 08:54 |
| aliverius | is seems my /dev/sdb3 was the special grub boot partition | 08:54 |
| Pip | Zpix, You can download it from Internet | 08:54 |
| aliverius | but how do i restore it | 08:54 |
| amybunny | thanks, it's formatting now, I just wanted to make sure it didn't deep6 the winxp partition in the process. | 08:54 |
| Pip | Zpix, You can read it all within one day | 08:55 |
| Zpix | Pip: thanks a lot | 08:55 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, it shouldn't, as long as you didn't touch it | 08:55 |
| amybunny | I was very careful not to :) | 08:55 |
| numberto | I get this error when try to connect via ssh "/etc/ssh/ssh_config: line 55: Bad configuration option: PermitRootLogin | 08:55 |
| numberto | " | 08:55 |
| bounder | oh well | 08:56 |
| Pip | Zpix, It's like you just bought a Ferrari, and wants to figure out the engine | 08:56 |
| Pip | *wanting | 08:56 |
| Zpix | Pip: :D | 08:56 |
| Zpix | Pip: I will do that :P | 08:56 |
| bounder | yet another attempt | 08:57 |
| MaRk-I | numberto: disable the root login in ssh config file | 08:58 |
| bounder | goes wanting | 08:58 |
| KM0201 | what was bounder trying to do? | 08:58 |
| yfk | how does X run w\o xorg.conf? If I have a xorg with only some of the sections, wil it act as if there wasn't a xorg regarding the sections that are not at xorg?l | 08:59 |
| TexasSam | Is there a Christian version of ubuntu? I would like to install a linux distro for my child, but I don't want any Muslim or Jewish influences in the OS. Thank you. | 08:59 |
| ohsix | why are you on the internet | 08:59 |
| TexasSam | excuse me? | 08:59 |
| Pip | TexasSam, :D | 09:00 |
| amybunny | KM0201, hmm, it asked me a few quick setup questions, which i answered but now it's loaded me into a somewhat unresponsive desktop (leftclick wireless icon+select ID= no result/connection) | 09:00 |
| Pip | ohsix, Everybody can be here in the Matrix | 09:00 |
| KM0201 | amybunny, that doesn't make any sense | 09:00 |
| amybunny | yeah, i kind of agree. | 09:00 |
| Zpix | Pip: thanks for the help mate | 09:01 |
| dman | anyone know the channel for transmission? | 09:01 |
| Pip | Zpix, You're welcome | 09:01 |
| yfk | TexasSam, there's probably a christian vesion. but It's probably not other religion free (or at least their infulences) | 09:01 |
| TexasSam | I was going to try Fedora but someone told me it was basically fully Islamic now | 09:01 |
| Zpix | bye all | 09:01 |
| Pip | dman, #transmission ? | 09:01 |
| KM0201 | !transmission | 09:01 |
| ohsix | dman: #transmission but what would you like to know? | 09:01 |
| KM0201 | !info transmission | 09:01 |
| ubottu | transmission (source: transmission): lightweight BitTorrent client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.05-0ubuntu0.2 (maverick), package size 0 kB, installed size 20 kB | 09:01 |
| dman | am researching about bit torrent anonyminity....I can't spell | 09:02 |
| ohsix | i see | 09:02 |
| MaRk-I | TexasSam: ubuntu-9.10-christian edition v6.0-i386 beta.iso just look for "ubuntu christian edition" on your fav. search engine | 09:02 |
| TexasSam | yfk, hmm that is the problem. I do not wish my child to be tainted by those who reject swine eating. | 09:02 |
| TexasSam | MaRk-I, thank you so much | 09:02 |
| ohsix | dman: basically if you're in a cloud you're leaking some information; all you can really rely on is plausible deniability | 09:02 |
| ohsix | but that isn't legal advice :] | 09:03 |
| Pip | TexasSam, I am sure there is one | 09:03 |
| yfk | TexasSam, don't mix it with http://ubuntusatanic.org/ | 09:03 |
| amybunny | i have the feeling his cdrom drive may be somewhat shoddy. So maybe a USB key boot may be the answer | 09:03 |
| dman | thanks ohsix, do you know about MUTE. It looks interesting | 09:03 |
| TexasSam | My second question; On Windows I have an application that burns a virtual Koran. Is there such an application for linux? | 09:03 |
| Pip | :D | 09:04 |
| DaPenguin | yfk: ah, finally someone mentions my favorite distro :) | 09:04 |
| Obituary37 | what is koran? | 09:04 |
| Pip | TexasSam, Burns .... ? | 09:04 |
| Pip | Obituary37, it's the bible for Muslim | 09:04 |
| WaltherFI | Obituary37: quaran, quran, etc. | 09:04 |
| MaRk-I | TexasSam: that's off topic you can ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:04 |

| mah454 | Hello ... | 09:17 |
| mah454 | How i can install gnome3 in ubuntu-10.10 ? | 09:17 |
| jiltdil | i had created a physical volume and after it i had created another physical volume my question is how to add the second physical volume in the first made volume group please help? | 09:18 |
| bullgard4 | mah454: Set up a new partition and install Ubuntu 11.04 first. | 09:18 |
| _sagi | dustin, please paste what you have told. | 09:18 |
| _sagi | It went off the screen | 09:18 |
| DaPenguin | pooltable: my advice would be to do apt-get install whatever de you want to move over to, xubuntu-desktop is a good lightweight on, or kubuntu-desktop if you want kde, then remove ubuntu-desktop | 09:18 |
| _sagi | How to check the complete log of xvhat | 09:18 |
| _sagi | dustin, ^ | 09:19 |
| mah454 | bullgard4 what ? why i install 11.04 ? gnome3 do not install in 10.10 ? | 09:19 |
| oCean | mah454: Gnome 3 is not currently supported on Ubuntu, not even on 11.04 | 09:19 |
| Lorthirk | DaPenguin: have you tried fglrxconfig? | 09:19 |
| Starminn | mah454: Yeah, you'll need 11.04 for install. the Gnome3 for 10.10 is one of the early builds | 09:19 |
| mah454 | Ok ... tnx :) | 09:20 |
| Starminn | mah454: Your best bet to experiencing Gnome3 currently is through an OpenSUSE for Fedora 15 alpha LiveCD | 09:20 |
| bullgard4 | mah454: This was and is my advice. -- You appear to be not advanced. GNOME 3 is a project in progress. | 09:20 |
| raven | how to get infos about the system | 09:20 |
| pooltable | here is gnome 3 http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/install-gnome-shell-from-git-in-ubuntu.html | 09:20 |
| DaPenguin | Lorthirk: not really, the fglrx install seemed to do the trick just fine | 09:20 |
| DaPenguin | Lorthirk: and how did you know i was running an ati card? | 09:20 |
| Lorthirk | DaPenguin: you mentioned issues with fglrx :) | 09:21 |
| raven | how to get infos about the system | 09:21 |
| Starminn | raven: What info are you looking for? | 09:21 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, what info? | 09:21 |
| DaPenguin | Lorthirk: wow, that must have been a while ago, better memory than me lol | 09:21 |
| Starminn | raven: System->Administration->System Monitor->System shows a bit of info. | 09:21 |
| pooltable | where do i fine Fedora 15 alpha LiveCD | 09:21 |
| bullgard4 | raven: System > Administration > System Monitor. | 09:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, uname -a && lsmod -v && lsusb && lspci | 09:22 |
| Starminn | pooltable: Go to the Gnome3 site and go to "Try it" or whatever | 09:22 |
| Lorthirk | simply, I scrolled up a bit the window :P | 09:22 |
| Starminn | Seven_Six_Two: You forgot the kitchen sink. | 09:22 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Starminn, I thought that was a usb device? :/ | 09:22 |
| jiltdil | is it possible to add two physical volume to a volume group if yes please help me | 09:22 |
| Starminn | Seven_Six_Two: :) You have to mount it first. All modern sinks have SATA connections, didn't you hear? ;) | 09:23 |
| WaltherFI | jiltdil: you mean RAID? | 09:23 |
| jiltdil | WaltherFI:no LVM | 09:24 |
| pooltable | starminn got it thanks | 09:24 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Starminn, I live in canada, so we haven't upgraded yet | 09:24 |
| WaltherFI | jiltdil: ooh, not done that sorry | 09:24 |
| Starminn | pooltable: Glad to hear it. Just try it live from the CD. You'll have ot use unetbootin to burn the .iso | 09:24 |
| Starminn | Seven_Six_Two: Ah. :D | 09:24 |
| jiltdil | WaltherFI:ok no prob thanx | 09:25 |
| zhangcheng | how to install rpm package in Ubuntu10.10 Linux such as adobereader8_chs.rpm | 09:25 |
| DaPenguin | Lorthirk: actually the way i fixed my issues was i skipped the fglrx in the repos and grabbed the one from the ati site | 09:25 |
| Starminn | zhangcheng: Have to use "alien" I believe. | 09:25 |
| Seven_Six_Two | zhangcheng, you could try to convert it to a deb with alien | 09:25 |
| raven | Starminn, Seven_Six_Two infos about cpu, system name .... | 09:26 |
| Starminn | zhangcheng: Post #2 here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304335 | 09:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | zhangcheng, but there's a deb for reader, isn't there? | 09:26 |
| bullgard4 | zhangcheng: I recommend that you install a Firefox plugin instead. | 09:26 |
| Starminn | raven: System->Administration->System Monitor tells you that | 09:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, your cpu info is somewhere near..hmmm... /proc/cpu I think | 09:26 |
| Dr_Willis | !info hwinfo | 09:27 |
| ubottu | hwinfo (source: hwinfo): Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 16.0-2 (maverick), package size 45 kB, installed size 112 kB | 09:27 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, cat /proc/cpuinfo | 09:27 |
| pooltable | !info hwinfo | 09:27 |
| oCean | raven: ^ that hwinfo, and try 'lshw' command | 09:27 |
| oldtimer | hey | 09:28 |
| pooltable | !info lshw | 09:28 |
| ubottu | lshw (source: lshw): information about hardware configuration. In component main, is standard. Version 02.14-1build1 (maverick), package size 268 kB, installed size 648 kB | 09:28 |
| bullgard4 | System > Preferences > Startup Applications shows 20 applications asserted. Why does ~/.config/autostart list only 7? | 09:29 |
| WaltherFI | bullgard4: that's a good question. the startup apps work very weirdly | 09:29 |
| raven | Starminn, Seven_Six_Two i need to find out why 10.10 is not able to run graphically on a specific system | 09:29 |
| Pip | pooltable, what's the advantage of lshw over hwdetect or hwinfo ? | 09:30 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: some are from the system wide 'auto start' lists perhaps. | 09:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, you have an ati card? | 09:30 |
| bullgard4 | WaltherFI: Thank you for your sentiment. | 09:30 |
| WaltherFI | Pip: lshw is installed by default | 09:30 |
| raven | Seven_Six_Two, its a nettop system its onboard | 09:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, what chipset? | 09:30 |
| raven | Seven_Six_Two, but i do not know anything about the components | 09:30 |
| Starminn | raven: You could check for Graphics card compatibility. Try << lspci | grep VGA >> that shows your graphics card. | 09:30 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, ok, can you pastebin the output of any of the commands mentioned for you? | 09:31 |
| intick | hi all | 09:31 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: 'What do you mean by "system wide 'auto start' lists" precisely? | 09:31 |
| WaltherFI | bullgard4: i mean, there are some weird registry entries or smoething for the startup apps despite the .config; i've had problems with not getting autostart apps to stop autostarting | 09:31 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, or better yet, all of them | 09:31 |

| raven | Seven_Six_Two, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller | 09:33 |
| Starminn | A_J: Natty Narwhal is 11.04 | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: think in windows terms.. Your USER can have things in their 'auto run dir' then the SYSTEM can have things in its autorun dir. that get ran for every user. | 09:33 |
| A_J | ty Starminn | 09:33 |
| sam_ | I just installed the ubuntu resitricted files, but when i play avi files its very lagged, any idea why? | 09:33 |
| Dr_Willis | sam_: depends on the video codec and player and your system specs. | 09:33 |
| dustin | what such fuss over gmone 3? | 09:33 |

| WaltherFI | Pip: nope. just a big list of everything on terminal | 09:34 |
| Dr_Willis | intick: watch out for spaces in filenames.. | 09:34 |
| WaltherFI | Pip: it is easy however to search for stuff in there | 09:34 |
| intick | Dr_Willis: no spaces in filenames | 09:35 |
| Sonysapien | Ugh | 09:35 |
| WaltherFI | Pip: lshw |grep Realtek will show opnly realtek related hw | 09:35 |
| oCean | Pip: lshw -C network will only show network related components.. see 'man lshw' | 09:35 |
| Dr_Willis | intick: i dont see what youy hope to gain by converting png to jpg either. | 09:35 |

| Seven_Six_Two | raven, so you're saying you don't have a gui at all? | 09:36 |
| Pip | It doesn't tell me what driver is for the device | 09:36 |
| A_J | me too^ | 09:36 |
| WaltherFI | !wine |mina | 09:36 |

| intick | njefferson: i'll atke a look at this but first i would like to realise my loop with sh | 09:37 |
| mina | can you help me? | 09:37 |
| dustin | yes | 09:37 |
| raven | Seven_Six_Two, no errors | 09:37 |
| Dr_Willis | mina: clarify exactly what you are wantign to do. | 09:37 |
| mina | I want to install a virtual windows 7 vua virtual box | 09:37 |
| dustin | tell me what you trying to do and what for | 09:37 |
| mina | via* | 09:38 |
| njefferson | intick: no problem - I can't help with that, but I just started using Phatch and thought it might be an option - best of luck :) | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | mina: install virtual box. pop in your windows cd, or iso image. start up vbox, follow its wizard and boot the cd/iso. install the os.. | 09:38 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: '~$ find / -name 'auto run dir' 2>/dev/null' does not produce any output. | 09:38 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, do you just get a basic text login screen? | 09:38 |
| raven | Seven_Six_Two, i have no gui when i start the system on its own and also if i put in the start system from usb pen and select "try" - no gui | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | mina: virtualbox has a very good manual at its homepage | 09:38 |
| raven | Seven_Six_Two, right | 09:38 |
| mina | how to get the iso image? | 09:38 |
| greppy | mina: you may want to check in #vbox instead. | 09:38 |
| Sonysapien | I need | 09:38 |
| Sonysapien | A cuddle | 09:38 |
| mina | this is where am stuck | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: thats not the exact name of the directory/location it uses. | 09:38 |
| WaltherFI | !ot | Sonysapien | 09:38 |
| ubottu | Sonysapien: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 09:38 |
| Starminn | mina: You should probably ask in ##windows | 09:38 |
| bong | what's the prob | 09:38 |
| Dr_Willis | mina: You use your legally bought Windows DVD - is the legal way. | 09:39 |
| mina | thanks guys | 09:39 |
| mina | ah ok | 09:39 |
| intick | Dr_Willis: i'm having this error [: 9: JPG: unexpected operator then 9: Image_resize: unexpected operator | 09:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, can you pastebin the output from cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg and lsmod | 09:39 |
| mina | thanks loads guys | 09:39 |
| Sonysapien | Some miserable people in this world that are just too serious :-( | 09:39 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: I need the exact name of the directories/locations it uses. | 09:39 |
| oCean | Sonysapien: wrong channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:39 |
| dustin | its saying pick the source you trying to boot from , basically | 09:39 |
| intick | Dr_Willis: tried with caps it doesnt change anything .. | 09:40 |
| intick | njefferson: thx anyway ;) | 09:40 |
| mina | dustin, anything u can add on this before i go? | 09:40 |
| Starminn | Sonysapien: They like cuddles in #ubuntu-offtopic. But only there. | 09:40 |
| dustin | yes lotss | 09:40 |
| Lorthirk | is there any widget engine available for ubuntu? | 09:40 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: ive no idea if its using a directory spefcially, or using the various .desktop files. I have exactly 1 item in my '.config/autorun' directory. | 09:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Lorthirk, GTK? | 09:40 |
| Starminn | Lorthirk: Sure. Search "widget" in the Software Center? | 09:40 |
| dustin | mina, yes lots | 09:41 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: so bascally everything i got is getting ran by the systems autorun feature | 09:41 |
| DaPenguin | Lorthirk: several actually, depends what de you're running | 09:41 |
| Lorthirk | gnome2 | 09:41 |
| mina | please dustin can you advise me | 09:41 |
| intick | Dr_Willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/594765/ | 09:41 |
| mina | am not very good in all this | 09:41 |
| Pip | Lorthirk, Yes, why don't you search with synaptic ? | 09:41 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_Willis: Thank you. | 09:41 |
| Lorthirk | Pip: I will right now : | 09:41 |
| Lorthirk | :) | 09:41 |
| raven | Seven_Six_Two, yes just a moment | 09:42 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, take your time. I'm taking a quick breather | 09:42 |
| Dr_Willis | intick: you do know that you can 'glob' filenames based on their extebnesions and so forth. | 09:42 |
| Dr_Willis | intick: instead of 'for *' you could just do a 'for *.jpg' I think.... | 09:43 |
| DaPenguin | Lorthirk: http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/10/8-widget-engines-for-linux-platform.html. a bit dated but still a good list | 09:43 |
| Lorthirk | great, thanks! | 09:43 |
| DaPenguin | 1+1=3 (for large values of 1) | 09:44 |
| WaltherFI | !ot | 09:44 |

| tuhin | hi all, i want the best tool which can let me throttle down cpu and gpu and run my laptop cool | 09:44 |
| Pip | tuhin, laptop-mode | 09:45 |
| Sonysapien | Power off | 09:45 |
| Pip | lol | 09:45 |
| zufans | dove trovo files? | 09:45 |
| zufans | were i ll found files? | 09:45 |
| oCean | Sonysapien: that is not helpful | 09:45 |
| tuhin | Pip , that tool made suspend and hybernate disappear | 09:45 |
| WaltherFI | tuhin: there is a widget you can add to your gnome-panel by right clicking | 09:45 |
| tuhin | CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor ? | 09:46 |
| WaltherFI | tuhin: allows you to dynamically over- and underclock | 09:46 |
| tuhin | it lets me to set minimum 1Ghz (half of full 2ghz) cpu | 09:46 |
| Pip | cpufreq | 09:46 |
| tuhin | but i have seen winxp go much less than 1Ghz | 09:46 |
| WaltherFI | tuhin: you could try other kernels then | 09:47 |
| WaltherFI | tuhin: also, BIOS/CMOS | 09:47 |
| tuhin | using .35 kernel | 09:47 |
| Sonysapien | Im not sure it lets you over | 09:47 |
| Sonysapien | clock | 09:47 |
| tuhin | i want to downclock | 09:47 |
| MaRk-I | tuhin: cpufreq like Pip said | 09:48 |
| jiltdil | when i going to delete a logical volume it is saying that cannoy remove open logical volume.help why it is happening? | 09:48 |
| tuhin | "notebook hardware control" in windows lets throttle down as less as 120 Mhz | 09:48 |
| Dr_Willis | jiltdil: is that filesystem unmounted? | 09:48 |
| WaltherFI | tuhin: i'm not sure if that is safe anymore | 09:48 |
| jiltdil | Dr_willis:no | 09:48 |
| WaltherFI | tuhin: also, might not go that down in reality | 09:49 |
| Sonysapien | Its his lap top lol | 09:49 |
| jiltdil | Dr_willis:sorry i have to unmount this | 09:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, ok, can you pastebin your /etc/xorg.conf please | 09:49 |
| Dr_Willis | jiltdil: i always do partioning tasks from a Live cd that has Gparted on it. Makes things easier | 09:49 |
| tuhin | well i ran it down to 400mhz and worked fine with most things | 09:49 |
| WaltherFI | Seven_Six_Two: Just the fact it is his laptop doesn't mean that i shouldn't warn about something potentially harmful. | 09:49 |
| WaltherFI | whoops | 09:49 |
| WaltherFI | Sonysapien: ^ | 09:50 |
| Sonysapien | Aye me | 09:50 |
| tuhin | those who have windows, give "notebook hardware control" a try | 09:50 |
| tuhin | where does kernel developers frequent? | 09:50 |
| === _human_blip_ is now known as human_blip | ||
| tuhin | they need to see the features that software have | 09:50 |
| aliverius | what does it mean when a dir appears as green on the terminal? | 09:51 |
| tuhin | so tat they can implement in linux | 09:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | WaltherFI, oh good. I thought I was very confused ;) | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Windows does have the advantage of the HW makers actually writing drivers/support for their specific hardware :) vs. Linux reverse Devs having to reverse engineere everithing. | 09:51 |
| tuhin | intel have v good linux support i hear | 09:52 |
| tuhin | its speedstep tech | 09:52 |
| Sonysapien | RE is better anyway. You get the full truth ;-) | 09:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Intel has had its issues in the past also. But they are all getting better.. | 09:52 |
| tuhin | which lets set a much lower internal clock than external=saves power= cool | 09:52 |
| intick | Dr_Willis: ok in fact working fine now ! for i in *.JPG; do convert -resize 35% $i "converted_$i" done but it s not case sensitive is there any parameter to add so the script handls JPGand jpg files ? | 09:53 |
| tuhin | Dr_Willis: try that software i said , we need a GUI like that | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | intick: Filenames in Linxu are case senestive.. so i would suggest converting all image files to a proper .jpg extension not some .JpG or other weirdness | 09:53 |
| Dr_Willis | intick: you could use regular expressions to glob them all.. somehow :) | 09:54 |
| tuhin | i have cpufrequtils instaled | 09:54 |
| oCean | intick: for blah in *.jpg *.JPG; do will work | 09:54 |
| tuhin | how do i config it? | 09:54 |
| MaRk-I | tuhin: right-click the desired panel, select +Add to Panel look for "cpu frequency scaling monitor" click add | 09:55 |
| tuhin | i already have CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.30.0 added in my panel | 09:56 |
| tuhin | the lowest it goes is 1Ghz | 09:56 |
| tuhin | i have it set at powersave | 09:56 |
| Hans_Henrik | i installed ubuntu 10.04.2 on my old PC, installed every update, cheked the hardware drivers thingy, it didnt find anything usefull related to my screendriver, installed Adobe's flash player, and youtube videos at 360 lag like F*. it used to be able to play them fullscreen without problem. how can i fix this on ubuntu? (, it used to have XP); i dont have time to check anything now, g2g, but i will read replys and continue later | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | I wondwer if 1ghz is the max or the min. it lets the cpu go to.. | 09:57 |
| minimec | tuhin: If you have some Linux experience you could have a look here. Undervolting helps me to save battery life and also keeps the fan more quiet. http://openmindedbrain.info/26/10/2010/undervolting-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick/ | 09:57 |
| tuhin | ok , any util to throttle down ati gfx chip? | 09:58 |
| tuhin | the gfx chip runs warmer than cpu | 09:58 |
| StackUnderFlow | new to ubuntu - how do I connect to a network share? I could just type the share under 'Win + R' under windows (of type \\abcd\xyz) | 09:58 |
| StackUnderFlow | I tried to do 'Places -> Connect to server', but it didnt work out :( | 09:59 |
| CongnitiveMe | Hi everyone. If I install LVM on top of RAID, say level 1. Would failure of one mirror (2 drives) crash the entire LVM array? | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | StackUnderFlow: smb://server/sharename (or use ip#) should work also.. or check thenetwork location under the menus | 09:59 |
| intick | Dr_Willis: it does not work .. how should i separate the extension ? i did this for exemple and it does convert only JPG not the rest of extension | 09:59 |
| intick | Dr_Willis: for i in *.JPG *.JPEG; | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | StackUnderFlow: you may need to instll some samba psakcagea | 09:59 |

| Seven_Six_Two | yeah. they're like that tool in the army knife that once you figure out what it's for, you use it all the time | 10:03 |

| Seven_Six_Two | oldtimer, you could try xubuntu | 10:06 |
| bazhang | agaron, #ubuntu-ru please | 10:06 |
| Dr_Willis | oldtimer: Huh? Lubuntu perhaps may ork well on that old a machine. but more ram would help a lot. | 10:06 |
| bazhang | damno, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 10:06 |

| bazhang | damno, you're not in it | 10:07 |

| Dr_Willis | oldtimer: Most people will proberly be wanting windows of some kind. Theres other minimal linux disrots that can work. | 10:07 |
| oldtimer | TinyXP rev11? whats that ? ask bot too | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | oldtimer: tinyxp is not exactly 'legal' or related to Ubuntu support. :) | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | So i would say check it out on google. | 10:09 |
| tuhin | thats a tweaked winxp , boots with 80MB ram | 10:09 |
| tuhin | i m owner of laptop which had winxp by maker, its legal for me to get winxp, same is the case for oldtimer | 10:09 |
| bouma | can anyone tell me why this computer's screen keeps flashing black, running ub10.04 uptodate with a radeon 9550, its some kind of software refresh. but it keeps happening. and i want to know if it can be fixed cause its fairly annoying, and shouldnt be happening so far as i understand. | 10:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | puppy linux is about 80mb too | 10:10 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: Microsoft's lwayers may disagree with that argument.. in any case. its not Ubuntu support related. | 10:10 |
| burntoto | hi guys! | 10:11 |
| oldtimer | but i need it to a main steam like suport like ubuntu , this guy at bestbuy said exectly ubuntu core of something command line install then install gui/ ice | 10:11 |
| damno | bazhang: but i have a question about mount points. I want all my partitions mounted at boot. what's the best way? editing fstab? | 10:11 |
| greppy | damno: yes | 10:11 |
| burntoto | i can t listen to my music on deezer: there s no sound. i use 64 bits, chromium or firefox, same problem: i have sound in the system, | 10:11 |

| raven | Seven_Six_Two, sry i am back did you wrote anything? | 10:13 |
| damno | greppy: how about the mount points?do i need to create separete dirs for that or will it be automatically created? | 10:14 |
| Seven_Six_Two | oldtimer, there are lighter versions of most programs using a vanilla ubuntu install. xfce, dillo etc | 10:14 |
| oldtimer | lubuntu frezzes | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | damno: in most cases you make them first | 10:14 |
| greppy | damno: you need to create the mount points. | 10:14 |
| oldtimer | a what ? | 10:14 |
| bouma | anyone know why x11 flashes black like some kind of whole screen refresh, sometimes it pauses a good sec too, until the image returns. defo software not hw | 10:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | raven, I did, but I'm going to have to go to bed soon. Your system is complaining about not having a display to run on (xorg.conf issue) | 10:15 |
| oldtimer | vanilla ubuntu install. xfce ? is what ? | 10:15 |
| damno | greppy: ok. thanks. | 10:15 |
| bouma | quite annoying, and the only prob im having with ub1004 | 10:15 |

| amybunny | rather than having a sidebar along the left side of the window, everytime i scroll over it, the screen flickers. | 10:27 |
| YankDownUnder | morgan, something you might try is installing gparted, and seeing if there's an issue (error) on the drive - which is generally easily enough repaired with gparted | 10:27 |
| damno | YankDownUnder: op. its AI | 10:27 |

| morgan | yankdownunder - that report was from gparted - don't remember ever having trouble, prob NTFS formatted. Comes up as file system unallocated so I guess gparted isn't seeing it right and theres no error to fix. Would an incorrect unmount cause this prob? | 10:28 |
| YankDownUnder | morgan, Right click the drive/partition, "Check for Errors" => see if that fixes ya up. | 10:29 |
| morgan | yankdownunder - greyed out | 10:29 |
| Dr_Willis | if its saying unallocated - then its not seeing any FS there to check.. | 10:30 |
| YankDownUnder | morgan, You might have to choose "Unmount", then try again...?? | 10:30 |

| YankDownUnder | Sometimes, with some SATA drives, if the disk label is toasted, the FS/partitions might appear unview-able...however, there are ways of fixing that issue. Mostly, this occurs with MS "Dynamic Disks" - disks/partitions created with XP and above | 10:31 |

| KM0201 | oldtimer, w/ resources that low, i'd look at either Lubuntu or Crunchbang Linux | 10:36 |

| Dr_Willis | AbuBadr: check the ubuntu forums for your exact make of laptop. and sdee if theres any tweaks for power saveing for it. | 10:37 |
| Dr_Willis | AbuBadr: i suggest using the latest ubuntu over easypeasy unless E.P has speffic special features for that thing. Or perhaps JoliOS. | 10:38 |

| HRT | when it asks for dual boot, I select Kubuntu, then screen goes black as the Kubuntu logo will appear, but it doesn't and the black screen freezes, my card is ATI HD5400 | 10:41 |
| HRT | Dr_Willis, | 10:41 |
| morgan | yankdownunder - the drive is a 1.5tb WD green from an external enclosure. Works fine in THAT enclosure, but not at all outside it. Is that normal?? | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | HRT: i dont use ati. could be some known issue with the ati drivers. You could try booting to recovery/rescue mode and going back to the original drivers. | 10:43 |
| HRT | Dr_Willis, then what to do after I recover my original drivers? | 10:44 |
| YankDownUnder | morgan, I've actually had this issue before - what I ended up doing was to get an update for the BIOS of the machine that the drive was put into - apparently, the drive - WHEN it was in the machine, was only reporting 32gb - ergo, BIOS update - then everything worked like a champ after that...and as well, the drive was a slave...so no issues since...(and it's in a server) | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | HRT: use them and not the FGLRX drivers from ati. | 10:44 |
| Dr_Willis | morgan: from what ive read a 'green' WD hd. is often just a slower RPM hd.. ive not heard anythign special about their enclosuers. | 10:45 |
| HRT | Dr_Willis, i didn't get you | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | morgan: it could be its power needs are differnt i guess. | 10:45 |
| oldtimer | YankDownUnder, well not sddram1 which was win98 to win2000 and looks like came form a school , | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | HRT: dont run/use the drivers from the addational drivers tool. | 10:45 |
| Dr_Willis | HRT: ati is often problematic. If the default drivers work - use them | 10:45 |
| morgan | yankdownunder - hmmm. The motherboard is brand new (but not necessarily latest bios granted) - but the disk size is correctly reported in gparted. Got me a bit thrown.. | 10:46 |
| HRT | Dr_Willis, then I should google for the drivers? | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | HRT: use the DEFAULT drivers thta came with ubuntu - if they worked.. | 10:46 |
| HRT | Dr_Willis, they don't work | 10:46 |
| YankDownUnder | Dr_Willis, morgan Those drives - WHEN they're in an external enclosure, do not depends on the BIOS of the machine to be read/recognised - however, when you put them INTO the box, the BIOS requires information from the CMOS on the PCB of the drive - the WD green drives have strange CMOS/BIOS on their PCB's - and if you don't have a current BIOS, you can't read the drive properly. | 10:46 |
| Dr_Willis | HRT: you said it worked fine originally... | 10:46 |
| HRT | Dr_Willis, they caused the damage occured | 10:47 |
| morgan | cheers yankdownunder - appreciate the help, i'll look into it. | 10:47 |
| YankDownUnder | morgan, What you could do is to back up the drive, then, under linux (or with the liveCD), delete, recreate the partition, format it as you wish - then try again...I gave you the resolution I had to resort to - but hey, I've read many more different resolutions for this issue. | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | HRT: that made no sence... | 10:47 |
| Dr_Willis | YankDownUnder: good to know then. :) | 10:48 |
| YankDownUnder | Dr_Willis, Yeah mate - especially if you're making money off the venture... :) | 10:48 |
| Dr_Willis | YankDownUnder: i thought the whole 'green hd' thing was a gimmic really. Just marketing a slower RPM hd as being better.. :) | 10:49 |
| YankDownUnder | Dr_Willis, It *is* a gimic...nothing more... | 10:49 |
| Dr_Willis | YankDownUnder: a gimmic that requires new HW to work normally even.. I will pass on them I think. | 10:49 |
| HRT | Dr_Willis, here, I installed the system, then I went to hardware drivers, it prompted "searching for available drivers" it found it, I activated it, then asked to reboot, then nothing happened, just the black screen | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | HRT: that installed the FGLRX drivers. which seem tobe the issue. | 10:50 |
| YankDownUnder | Dr_Willis, When I deal with builds, I make sure it's stuff that's tried and true and tested, and that I'm not going to see for a very long time....VERY long time (fix it once - that's my motto) | 10:50 |
| HRT | then what to do? | 10:50 |
| Dr_Willis | HRT: you could try rescue/recovery mode and deactivate the drivers | 10:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Im not sure of the proper way to de-activate the ati drivers. For my Nvidia systems. I canjust rename the xorg.conf to be xorg.conf.BROKEN :) or similer | 10:52 |
| YankDownUnder | HRT, You could always try getting to the console (ALT-F1) logon, then try: sudo dpkg --reconfigure xorg-server => choose a different driver for the card, reboot. | 10:53 |

| Dr_Willis | mha_: uninstall the older kernels you dont need via the package manager tools. or ubuntu-tweak or.. Hmm not sure how else.. | 11:27 |
| YankDownUnder | mha_, Best way is to use the Synaptic Package Manager => look for "linux-image" -> choose the kernels that you don't want, click apply, s'all she wrote! | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | be sure to leave the current kernel.. and i suggest at least 1 older kenel just in case. | 11:28 |
| mha_ | YankDownUnder: a lot of "linux-image " packages! which one to remove? | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | mha_: it may be best if you just left them alone.. | 11:28 |
| YankDownUnder | mha_, The one's yer not using (you can check by opening a terminal, type: uname -a) | 11:28 |
| Starminn | mha_: Ubuntu Software Center and search "linux-header" just leave the current and you'll be fine | 11:28 |
| YankDownUnder | Depends - some folks use a single partition for the /boot => ergo, it gets kinda full up with cruft...(old kernel images) | 11:29 |

| anirudhr | rooks: I tried helping as best as I could. This being a free service, I believe that it does not entitle you to insult me when I try to help you. If you want better help, go search the web, there is this company called Google that will help you there. | 12:56 |
| ikonia | Romeo_: talk to your ISP, it's not an ubuntu or a Linux question | 12:56 |
| rooks | anirudhr, have it your way... | 12:56 |
| erUSUL | Creepers: "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin" is not hard | 12:56 |
| erUSUL | !java | Creepers | 12:56 |
| ubottu | Creepers: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 12:56 |
| erUSUL | !partner | Creepers | 12:57 |
| ubottu | Creepers: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 12:57 |
| BlouBlou | ikonia: I mean invisible under atacks with no 'defined IP', if someone tries to check if my PC is connected or not, they won't know. Meh, I read something like that, sorry if I am wrong | 12:57 |
| ikonia | BlouBlou: you are wrong | 12:57 |
| anirudhr | yoghurt: I forgot how to, but you should get into a grub shell while you are booting up and then have grub find your boot partition. You should be able to find an online tutorial there. | 12:57 |
| Romeo_ | just dont like the idea of my isp seeing what im doing thats privacy | 12:58 |
| ikonia | Romeo_: then talk to THEM | 12:58 |
| BlouBlou | Romeo_: Then use Tor | 12:58 |
| Romeo_ | not that i can do much but thats not the point | 12:58 |
| Romeo_ | tor? | 12:58 |
| ikonia | Romeo_: then why are you moaning about it in here | 12:59 |
| BlouBlou | Romeo_: Read this -> https://www.torproject.org/ | 12:59 |
| === mwg is now known as kopfkrank | ||
| Romeo_ | whos moaning??? im asking a question | 12:59 |
| greppy | Romeo_: check the privacy policy of your ISP, as someone that works for an ISP, I know that I have far better things to do than to look at a random persons network traffic. | 12:59 |
| ikonia | Romeo_: you're asking questions about YOUR ISP - this is an ubuntu support channel | 12:59 |
| yoghurt | ok thank you | 12:59 |
| Romeo_ | im asking BECAUSE someone told me you cant track isp on ubuntu,ive never heard that before so i was enquiring since i use ubuntu | 13:00 |
| ikonia | Romeo_: they can track your ISP on ANY OS | 13:00 |
| greppy | Romeo_: they were mistaken. | 13:01 |
| saimanoj | hello | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | im not even sure what 'track your isp' means... | 13:01 |
| ikonia | Dr_Willis: he means monitor your traffic | 13:01 |
| saimanoj | can anyone please help me regarding the gpg | 13:01 |
| erUSUL | saimanoj: ask you question | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | the isp's can monitor what they want.. reguardless of OS basically. :) | 13:02 |
| CodeGnome2 | saimanoj: What's the question? | 13:02 |
| saimanoj | recently | 13:03 |
| saimanoj | while using gpg --send-keys i used the key ID of the private key | 13:03 |
| saimanoj | so i think i sent the private key to the keyserver | 13:04 |
| bullgard4 | erUSUL: '~$ sudo tasksel' does not list ubuntu-uec-live but '~$ apt-cache show update-notifier; ...; Task: ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-uec-live;' Can you explain. | 13:04 |
| erUSUL | bullgard4: no, sorry | 13:04 |
| ikonia | BlouBlou: ubuntu-uec-live is not a "task" | 13:04 |
| zetsubooou | sooo, is there a channel for asking for tweaking tips and stuff? so I wouldn't have to ask tiny pointless questions here? | 13:04 |
| erUSUL | saimanoj: no; that wont happen | 13:04 |
| BlouBlou | ikonia: mmh? | 13:04 |
| CodeGnome2 | saimanoj: Probably not...by default send-keys won't do that. But if you're worried about it, fetch the key from the server to check it manually. | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | zetsubooou: as long as its ubuntu related. here is fine. | 13:05 |
| ikonia | sorry, that was for bullgard4 | 13:05 |
| BlouBlou | oh, okay | 13:05 |
| erUSUL | saimanoj: gpg knows the correspondng public key and sends that | 13:05 |
| saimanoj | how to fetch it | 13:05 |
| bullgard4 | haha. '~$ apt-cache show update-notifier; ...; Task: ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-uec-live;' | 13:05 |
| CodeGnome2 | gpg --recv-keys <id> | 13:05 |
| MK`` | Is anyone here strongly familiar with keyboards and xmodmap? | 13:05 |
| saimanoj | how to learn basics about gpg | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | !gpg | 13:05 |
| ubottu | gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 13:05 |
| CodeGnome2 | Start with the man page: man gpg | 13:05 |
| ikonia | saimanoj: read the docuentation | 13:06 |
| saimanoj | the man is very large | 13:06 |
| craigbass1976 | Maybe I'm googling wrong... I've got a few sites hosted on an ubuntu box. They're all in /var/www/ There's also /var/www/logs/ and in there is a directory for each of the sites. How do I rotate those logs? | 13:06 |
| saimanoj | and all the options are not used regularly | 13:06 |
| ikonia | saimanoj: that's how you learn | 13:06 |
| saimanoj | and i dont know what are those needed usually | 13:06 |
| DaLynX | ubuntu installer randomly hangs, any hint ? | 13:06 |
| CodeGnome2 | craigbass1976: Unless you did something wacky, logrotate will take care of it for you. | 13:07 |
| craigbass1976 | DaLynX, bunk cd? | 13:07 |
| DaLynX | bunk ? | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | DaLynX: check dmesg output. | 13:07 |
| craigbass1976 | DaLynX, bad. Sorry | 13:07 |
| DaLynX | Dr_Willis: how do you check anything when the system is frozen ? | 13:07 |
| DaLynX | craigbass1976: I checked the md5 of the image, it's fine | 13:07 |
| saimanoj | the man page is very large | 13:07 |
| saimanoj | to read | 13:07 |
| DaLynX | and then the check for errors in boot menu says fine too | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | DaLynX: have it running in a terminal as you run installer. or install ssh server and ssh in and watch it | 13:07 |
| ikonia | saimanoj: then take time reading it | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | saimanoj: so? :) | 13:07 |
| erUSUL | saimanoj: what are you going to use gpg for? | 13:07 |
| saimanoj | i want to contribute for ubuntu | 13:08 |
| craigbass1976 | CodeGnome2, /etc/logrotate.d/apache2? | 13:08 |
| DaLynX | Dr_Willis: how do I do that ? how am I going to install anything before installing the os ? | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | DaLynX: you mah have better luck instlling from a bootable flash drive also | 13:08 |
| damno | I cant save my acc settings in finch ; it's reset every time I close it tho I select the 'save' buton while editing the acc. any idea? | 13:08 |
| ikonia | saimanoj: then you need to be able to read documentation | 13:08 |
| DaLynX | I'm installing from my usb key | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | DaLynX: i instll stuff on a live cd all the time. it goes to 'ram' | 13:08 |
| CodeGnome2 | craigbass1976: Most likely. :) | 13:08 |
| DaLynX | (well ,trying to install) | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | DaLynX: Unles you got a peristant save file setup . | 13:09 |
| DaLynX | I don't | 13:09 |
| craigbass1976 | CodeGnome2, that's only looking in /var/log/apache2/*.log | 13:09 |
| DaLynX | mmh | 13:09 |
| saimanoj | ikonia: Yes you are right. Thanks for your reply. | 13:09 |
| DaLynX | so I should run as a "live" system, then try to install from there | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | DaLynX: thtas how i normally do it. that way i can irc as i am installing . :) | 13:10 |
| DaLynX | I have 2 computers so IRC's not an issue | 13:10 |
| midhuno | hi sometimes my dvd player not detecting dvds | 13:10 |
| CodeGnome2 | craigbass1976: Then tweak the logrotate files, add your own, or do a manual cron job. If you put stuff in non-standard places, then you have to build a non-standard log-rotation. | 13:10 |
| midhuno | help me | 13:10 |
| DaLynX | but the fact I have already spent 3 days trying to install that crap is. | 13:10 |

| CodeGnome2 | midhuno: You might just have a bad DVD, or bad media. If Linux sees the drive, then the problem isn't Linux. | 13:11 |
| saimanoj | can i ask any question about ubuntu? | 13:12 |
| ikonia | saimanoj: yes | 13:12 |
| DaLynX | okay, Dr_Willis, live system hangs too | 13:12 |
| DaLynX | after approx 45 secs | 13:12 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: hardware problem | 13:12 |
| Karen_m | I have a ubuntu machine, where my WDTV *cannot* see the videos. It says "no media in folder". Yet I can see the windows 7 shares without fail, anyone know what I am doing wrong? | 13:12 |
| DaLynX | ikonia: it runs Windows perfectly | 13:12 |
| midhuno | <CodeGnome2>i hav a dual boot....windows detects the same dvd on same drive | 13:12 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: doesn't mean not a hardware problem | 13:12 |
| DaLynX | ... | 13:12 |
| saimanoj | In which language is Wubi implemented | 13:13 |
| DaLynX | it at least means ubuntu is crap if it can't handle what winXP can | 13:13 |
| ikonia | saimanoj: you can chose what langauge you want | 13:13 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: please don't say things you don't understand | 13:13 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: best you don't talk if you're going to make silly comments like that | 13:13 |
| wanakahalugi | hi all, anyone can help to use lightuning fingerprint to work with lucid ? | 13:13 |
| MK`` | Is anyone here strongly familiar with keyboards and xmodmap? | 13:13 |
| saimanoj | In which Programming language is Wubi implemented? | 13:14 |
| DaLynX | ikonia: I'm trying to find help here | 13:14 |
| CodeGnome2 | midhuno: Is it a region-encoded DVD? | 13:14 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: Linux has different ways and capabilities of using hardware, | 13:14 |
| jrib | MK``: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 13:14 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: so making silly commentes won't help that | 13:14 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: have you looked at your hardware list to check for linux compatability | 13:14 |
| CodeGnome2 | saimanoj: Why not look up the project's home page to learn more about it? | 13:14 |
| MK`` | when I use xmodmap -pk, it shows 6 entries for most keys; the first 2 are normal, normal+Shift, and the 5th and 6th are AltGr, AltGr+shift. The middle set is identical to the first set of 2, is this for some compatibility reason? by AltGr I mean ISO_Level3_Shift | 13:14 |
| DaLynX | no I did not | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | DaLynX: thats a bad sign. you did double check the md5 of the cd, and iso files? | 13:14 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: have you ran memtest on your PC to check your ram is "ok" | 13:14 |
| midhuno | <CodeGnome2> what that means?? | 13:14 |
| DaLynX | Dr_Willis: I double checked the image MD5 | 13:14 |
| s33kr | hi all | 13:14 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: right, so "Linux isn't crap" you're "slopppy" in that you didn't look if your hardware is supported | 13:14 |
| DaLynX | and the usb using "Check disk for defects" | 13:14 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: checking that is a good start | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | DaLynX: whats your video chipset? | 13:14 |
| DaLynX | ATI Radeon 9800 Pro | 13:15 |
| ikonia | DaLynX: I'd also suggest using memtest for a good period as a basic step | 13:15 |
| CodeGnome2 | midhuno: Lots of DVDs have DRM. That means you're out of luck, generally. | 13:15 |
| saimanoj | cna you give the proj. home page. please | 13:15 |
| midhuno | <CodeGnome2> then what i do to open the dvd?? | 13:15 |
| DaLynX | I had to use xforcevesa and nomodeset in order to avoid crashing at a lower stage | 13:16 |

| DaLynX | wouldn't have thought some things would go wrong | 13:17 |

| s33kr | hiya | 13:18 |
| DaLynX | people have always been telling me oh linux's so great, and it's very simple to install and everything. I like using it when it's already installed myself, but when it comes to making a fresh install I always loose feet. | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | DaLynX: thers always the text based installer you could try on the alternative cd. | 13:18 |
| midhuno | <Dr_Willis>the dvd player not detecting blank dvds also | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | midhuno: that sounds like a deeper issue. or a missibng /dev/XXX link | 13:19 |
| s33kr | i really don't get the whole linux is better than windows thing | 13:19 |

| sor4you | hello is this really ubuntu? | 13:31 |
| QuiSE | Dr_Willis: but there is things I cant grasp in that guide | 13:31 |
| mahound_ | i have maverick with the latest updates installed, and an intel gigabit 82577LM ethernet controller. if i ifconfig, there is no eth0 device, nothing. no errors in dmesg, nothing. | 13:32 |
| phoenixsampras | when the next release of Ubuntu will be ready?? | 13:32 |
| mahound_ | any suggestion? | 13:32 |
| sor4you | Hello room I dont know if anyone is bored enough to talk to me I am interested in learning linux | 13:32 |
| CodeGnome2 | mahound_: Did you check to see if you need any special firmware for that device? | 13:32 |
| tawan | mahound_: it is listed as about the 25th i think | 13:33 |
| phoenixsampras | hellow?? | 13:33 |
| sor4you | I know everyone is busy | 13:33 |
| sor4you | but any help you can offer me will be greatly appreciated | 13:33 |
| ex0a | how can i set the default (preferred) resolution for a specific display with the fglrx driver? it seems that xrandr causes the catalyst software to confuse settings | 13:33 |
| mahound_ | tawan, sorry? i don't get it | 13:33 |
| ex0a | and i'm unable to remove unwanted modes | 13:33 |
| mahound_ | CodeGnome2, i googled it, but found nothing | 13:33 |
| amybunny | sor4you, I think it's worth giving a try. You can opt to start with a small dual-boot, and then convert to pure linux later if you like. | 13:34 |
| phoenixsampras | when the next release of Ubuntu will be ready?? !!! | 13:34 |
| FishFace | phoenixsampras: I think on the 28th of this month | 13:34 |
| sor4you | so i have done that with the ubuntu remix and i want the real thing | 13:34 |
| sor4you | i have a netbook right now | 13:34 |
| sor4you | but will have a laptop soon | 13:34 |
| sor4you | so as far as the fullblown ubuntu i should just download the desktop version for my laptop right | 13:35 |
| tawan | mahound_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule | 13:35 |
| CodeGnome2 | mahound_: I don't know anything about that particular chipset. Sorrt. | 13:35 |
| QuiSE | Im looking for some assistens in update my WIFI-DRIVERS. (got the drivers and a guide already) | 13:35 |
| sor4you | that way i can do stuff like compiz fusion and all those cool features | 13:35 |
| mahound_ | tawan, i think you are confusing me with someone else :) | 13:35 |
| CodeGnome2 | sor4you: The netbook and desktop editions are the same now. | 13:36 |
| sor4you | ok well here is my question if you dont mind amybunny | 13:36 |
| mahound_ | CodeGnome2, ok, thanks anyway | 13:36 |
| tawan | phoenixsampras: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule | 13:36 |
| tawan | ye sorry mahound_ | 13:36 |
| sor4you | i want to run compiz fusion and ubuntu and the latest linux what kind of specs should i have | 13:36 |
| phoenixsampras | Will all Bugs involded Hibernation and Suspend, will be fixed?? | 13:36 |
| amybunny | Im not sure if it's actually possible to run the 'desktop' release on a netbook. If you already have the netbook release installed, that should be perfectly fine. As for Compiz fusion, I know nothing about that application. | 13:37 |
| sor4you | oh ok | 13:37 |
| sor4you | well the netbook edition looks nothing like what i have seen on youtube videos | 13:38 |
| sor4you | instances of ubuntu running at incredible speeds | 13:38 |
| sor4you | once again there is no laptop/notebook version of ubuntu? | 13:39 |
| CodeGnome2 | sor4you: I think 10.10 has a netbook edition. 11.04 won't. | 13:39 |
| midhuno | another problem in my smplayer xv video output is not working so i have 2 use x11(slow)output.....y? | 13:39 |
| sor4you | so what ubuntu do i install on my new laptop | 13:39 |
| Karen_m | I have a ubuntu machine, where my WDTV *cannot* see the videos. It says "no media in folder". Yet I can see the windows 7 shares without fail, anyone know what I am doing wrong? | 13:40 |
| kushal3 | sor4you: what kind of graphics card do you have? | 13:41 |
| sor4you | or is there some better distro i can run on my laptop? | 13:41 |
| CodeGnome2 | midhuno: Have you checked to see if your graphics card is fully supported? | 13:41 |
| tawan | sor4you: 11.04 will be like netbook by default, it will be awesome on your netbook | 13:41 |
| CodeGnome2 | sor4you: Install 10.10...whatever edition suits yuou best. | 13:41 |
| sor4you | what is the last stable edition they put out? | 13:42 |
| ajin | hey, guys | 13:42 |
| FishFace | phoenixsampras: You could always try the Beta version if you want. That might help you. | 13:42 |
| midhuno | <CodeGnome2>ther is no driver installed...my graphic card is SIS M672 | 13:42 |
| BlouBlou | sor4you: maverick, but natty will be released in 12 days | 13:42 |
| sor4you | and you run maverick? | 13:42 |
| CodeGnome2 | Karen_m: How are you sharing the folder? | 13:42 |
| * tawan points sor4you to the ubuntu website where all of these answers are in plain sight | 13:42 | |
| BlouBlou | !download | sor4you | 13:43 |
| ubottu | sor4you: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 13:43 |
| ajin | well, good evening~ | 13:43 |
| kushal3 | good evening to you too | 13:43 |
| QuiSE | Im looking for some assistens in update my WIFI-DRIVERS. (got the drivers and a guide already) | 13:43 |
| ghustaf | hello, how can i save files from a damage hard disk with their original names ans location? | 13:44 |
| CodeGnome2 | midhuno: SIS is an on-chip GPU. Doesn't do accelerated anything, generally. It may simply not support the features you want. Check the xorg and smplayer web sites to see whether your chipset can do anything better with alternative settings. | 13:44 |
| BlouBlou | ghustaf: Copy&Paste? | 13:45 |
| CodeGnome2 | ghustaf: You probably can't, but try mounting your drive read-only and using ddrescue to salvage whatever you can. | 13:45 |
| QuiSE | is there a permanent solution for the "left mouse button problem" in ubuntu 10.10 yet? I tried a couple and they aint working for me | 13:45 |
| ghustaf | i can't mount the hard disk. i created an image with dd_rescue but can't mount it either | 13:45 |
| Karen_m | CodeGnome2, I setup samba, all computers can load it, but not WDTV | 13:46 |
| Karen_m | but WDTV can load the win7 shares, so i don't know if there is a compatibility flag somewhere or something? | 13:46 |
| brontosaurusrex | QuiSE, what problem? | 13:46 |
| midhuno | <CodeGnome2>i installed a driver when i was using ubuntu 10.10...that works great for me...but now i am using 11.04 in which that driver not works | 13:47 |
| CodeGnome2 | Karen_m: Have you looked at your samba logs? If everything else can access it, it sounds like a permissions problem. | 13:47 |
| QuiSE | brontosaurusrex: Mouse buttons stop working but you can move the mouse, working inside X | 13:47 |
| Karen_m | I will have to try the samba logs, it just sucks cause everyhting else works.. | 13:47 |
| CodeGnome2 | ghustaf: You may just be out of luck. I've lost a few drives that way over the years, too. Check out the Coroner's Toolkit. There may be something there that can help you extract from an invalid filesystem. | 13:48 |
| sor4you | does anyone know about compiz on here? | 13:48 |
| tawan | sor4you: like what about it? | 13:48 |
| ghustaf | ok, i'll try | 13:49 |
| sor4you | tawan: are you running compiz on your system/ | 13:49 |
| CodeGnome2 | Karen_m: I imagine. But if the Windows systems see the share, then it's probably something specific to do with whatever your WDTV is doing. | 13:49 |
| DaLynX | ikonia: the hardware support list only lists complete computers. I would need a per-item list, is there such a thing ? | 13:49 |
| pattern | i'm trying to stop the sshd running on my machine, so i tried typing (as root) "/etc/init.d/sshd stop" which reports "* Stopping OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ]" | 13:49 |
| pattern | but sshd is still running | 13:49 |
| Karen_m | i will find out where samba logs and try debugging it, thank you | 13:49 |
| tawan | sor4you: yes | 13:49 |
| pattern | err.. i meant "/etc/init.d/ssh stop" | 13:49 |
| sor4you | tawan: are you running a desktop or a laptop? | 13:50 |
| tawan | sor4you: old laptop | 13:50 |
| tawan | sor4you: and my wife has it on an eee | 13:50 |
| CodeGnome2 | pattern: There may still be some ocnnected sessions. Try 'sudo pkill sshd' instead. | 13:50 |
| sor4you | tawan: and you are able to do like the cube and the sphere of windows on that old laptop? | 13:51 |
| pattern | CodeGnome2: if i do that sshd just respawns | 13:51 |
| sor4you | tawan: and is your system response fast and reliable, stable and efficient? | 13:51 |
| tawan | sor4you: no problems, I think if you can run XP then Linux with Compiz will run nicer and quicker on the same machine | 13:51 |
| CodeGnome2 | pattern: You aren't doing something normal, then. Is ssh running from init? | 13:52 |
| sor4you | tawan: as far as learning source code do you know how and where did you learn? | 13:52 |
| pokoko222 | guys i have a c++ program in netbeans and when i run it, it gives me permission errors, it cant access the project folder | 13:52 |
| ajin | xp is a wonderful OS, but growing too old | 13:52 |
| pokoko222 | how can i fix this | 13:52 |
| pattern | CodeGnome2: how can i check? | 13:52 |
| CodeGnome2 | pokoko222: What are the permissions on the folder? ls -lad <folder> | 13:53 |
| tawan | sor4you: find something easy and interesting and look at it. If you have the aptitude for it then you'll learn. | 13:53 |
| CodeGnome2 | pattern: fgrep ssh /etc/inittab | 13:53 |
| pokoko222 | CodeGnome2 the wierd thing is i cant change the file permissions with right click and permissions | 13:53 |
| pokoko222 | i change it but then it goes back to none | 13:53 |
| pattern | CodeGnome2: i don't have an /etc/inittab, but i notice that /etc/init/ssh.conf has "respawn" in it | 13:54 |
| === Trystam is now known as Tristam | ||
| CodeGnome2 | pokoko222: Try from the command line. | 13:55 |
| pokoko222 | CodeGnome2 and when i copy to desktop then i can | 13:55 |
| CodeGnome2 | pattern: You aren't running ubuntu, are you? None of what you just said sounds like ubuntu. | 13:55 |
| pokoko222 | does this mean my d: parition is corrupted or something | 13:55 |

| midhuno | what 2 do to play .mp4 videos in smplayer??? | 13:57 |
| CodeGnome2 | pattern: You may have to ask someone else, then. | 13:57 |
| Karen_m | brontosaurusrex, thank you! I will disable the password savings and try that! | 13:57 |
| pattern | CodeGnome2: the ssh.conf is in /etc/init, not /etc/init.d | 13:57 |
| brontosaurusrex | midhuno, nothing, it should work | 13:58 |
| pokoko222 | CodeGnome2 ls in what directory | 13:59 |
| xangua | midhuno: it does with sinlge mplayer¿ | 13:59 |
| CodeGnome2 | pokoko222: Where is your folder? | 13:59 |
| pokoko222 | desktop | 13:59 |
| midhuno | <xangua> no it is not working | 13:59 |
| NyberMi1 | Hello! | 13:59 |
| brontosaurusrex | Karen_m, also http://www.drron.com.au/2010/01/16/a-note-about-wdtv-live-and-samba-shares/ | 14:00 |
| midhuno | <brontosaurusrex> no it is not workng | 14:00 |
| NyberMi1 | My suspend isn't working. Suspends fine but when i try to wake up the machine again the sceens remain black and i have to hard-reset. This is a problem i have in both ubuntu and debian, any ideas? | 14:00 |
| CodeGnome2 | pattern: That doesn't match my system. I can't help you. | 14:00 |
| brontosaurusrex | midhuno, from command line if you type: mplayer file.mp4 what does it say? | 14:00 |
| pooltable | hi hw to fix pcsx final fantasy 8 is skipping ? | 14:00 |
| CodeGnome2 | NyberMi1: Is your swap encrypted? | 14:00 |
| pokoko222 | CodeGnome2 i did ls and it marks my folder as green, wierd | 14:00 |
| pattern | CodeGnome2: thanks anyway | 14:01 |
| NyberMi1 | CodeGnome2: not that i know of, no | 14:01 |
| CodeGnome2 | pokoko222: What are the permissions, though? | 14:01 |
| Pikos | hi | 14:02 |
| pokoko222 | CodeGnome2 drwxrwxrwx 5 stefan stefan 4096 2011-04-16 14:37 | 14:02 |
| NyberMi1 | CodeGnome2: someone said my swap might be too small so im now running a 20gb swap for the fun of it, the system sports 6gb of ram | 14:02 |
| Karen_m | brontosaurusrex, many thanks! I think it will work now.. yay!!! | 14:02 |
| NyberMi1 | same problem persists | 14:02 |
| midhuno | <brontosaurusrex>it is playing but when opening in smplayer only audio is playing | 14:02 |
| ikonia | NyberMi1: 20GB of swap is silly | 14:02 |
| NyberMi1 | ikonia: im aware of that | 14:03 |
| ikonia | NyberMi1: then why are you doing it ? it's not going to do anything positive | 14:03 |
| brontosaurusrex | midhuno, so 'mplayer file.mp4' is working as expected, but only audio in smplayer? | 14:03 |
| NyberMi1 | ikonia: having 3tb to play around with, i thought it wouldn't really matter | 14:03 |
| midhuno | <brontosaurusrex>yes... | 14:03 |
| CodeGnome2 | pokoko222: This is where? Your home directory? | 14:03 |
| QuiSE | I could use some assistance in upgrading my WIFI-DRIVERS (Already have the drivers downloaded) | 14:03 |
| ikonia | NyberMi1: clealy it will | 14:03 |
| Pikos | I've got a problem, I cannot figure how to connect both wireless and ethernet interfaces at the same time | 14:04 |
| CodeGnome2 | NyberMi1: I have a new i7 laptop that won't suspend or hibernate, either. It might be a hardware issue. | 14:04 |
| pokoko222 | CodeGnome2 the project folder is on desktop, yeah in my home i am the only user | 14:04 |
| NyberMi1 | CodeGnome2: my desktop has a i7 cpu | 14:04 |
| Pikos | when I connect one, it deconnects the other one | 14:04 |
| NyberMi1 | this i5 laptop that im currently using suspends fine though | 14:04 |
| pokoko222 | CodeGnome2 this is the error in Netbeans: exec: 7: /home/stefan/Desktop/Missionaries_Canibals/dist/Debug/GNU-Linux-x86/missionaries_canibals: Permission denied | 14:04 |
| brontosaurusrex | midhuno, ok, then i would try to change the video output settings in smplayer, also anything that is vdpau related maybe | 14:05 |
| CodeGnome2 | pokoko222: ls -l /home/stefan/Desktop/Missionaries_Canibals/dist/Debug/GNU-Linux-x86/missionaries_canibals | 14:05 |
| NyberMi1 | ikonia: silly or not, i can't see how it matters since the earlier "non-silly" amount of swap had the same effect of suspend not working. i just thought id go high while partitioning to make sure the system had enough space there | 14:06 |
| pattern | how can i configure which services from /etc/init.d to start upon boot? | 14:06 |
| ikonia | NyberMi1: depends how that silly decision will effect the rest of your system | 14:06 |
| midhuno | <brontosaurusrex>vdpau is also not workin....i tried it now | 14:07 |

| minashokry | I am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 on dell xps 15 but the live cd doesn't start and a kernel panic happens | 14:07 |
| xangua | !natty | minashokry | 14:08 |
| ubottu | minashokry: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. | 14:08 |
| CodeGnome2 | pokoko222: I don't know about about your app, but there are no group read permissions on that folder. | 14:08 |
| minashokry | xangua, yes | 14:08 |
| brontosaurusrex | midhuno, when running mplayer from cli, note what video output drivers is using and put that into smplayer config | 14:08 |
| NyberMi1 | ikonia: im not turning down tips and welcome any feedback, but can you think of any reason why the larger amount would be a problem? | 14:08 |
| ikonia | NyberMi1: miss-representation of ram, | 14:09 |
| CodeGnome2 | pokoko222: You could try adding them: chmod g+rwx <folder> | 14:09 |
| pokoko222 | CodeGnome2 yeah the wierd thing is i cant change it from gui, so i moved now the folder from D partition to desktop and now i can everythig fine | 14:09 |
| pokoko222 | does that mean something wrong with my d partition | 14:09 |
| adrian_kx | why after in update to kernel 2.6.38 from mavrick ppa my battery doesnt indicate estimated time to charge or discharge | 14:09 |
| ikonia | NyberMi1: a lot of suspend / hibernation problems are down to the video card chipset, I'd look in that area | 14:09 |
| ikonia | adrian_kx: you're on an unsupported kernel, contact the support group for that PPA | 14:09 |
| NyberMi1 | ikonia: im receiving similar suggestions from debian.fi channel atm | 14:09 |
| brontosaurusrex | midhuno, on the long run, learn how to use mplayer, its really faster and more usefull than any GUI if you know some basics | 14:09 |
| xangua | adrian_kx: you use ppa's under your own risk | 14:10 |
| adrian_kx | well on other distros if u update kernel doesnt mess up with ur indicators | 14:10 |
| adrian_kx | so i`m bound to dam stock kernel? | 14:10 |
| volve | hey all, I'm trying to get the a minimal set of X packages installed on my headless Jaunty server so I can run gui apps over ssh. Are there any specialized packages for that? When I try to install the standard Xorg packages it wants to pull down loads and loads of video drivers, which obviously I don't need as the server is going to be headless. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks. :) | 14:10 |
| ikonia | adrian_kx: it would if you use an unsupported kernel | 14:10 |
| CodeGnome2 | pokoko222: No,m it means you have a permissions problem. | 14:10 |
| adrian_kx | what if i compile it myself? | 14:10 |
| ikonia | adrian_kx: then support it yourself | 14:10 |
| evelyette | hi, I've got problem with chroot... I get: chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory | 14:10 |
| xangua | adrian_kx: or use the one provided by ubuntu's repositories | 14:10 |
| adrian_kx | its from ubuntus repositories::P | 14:10 |
| ikonia | adrian_kx: no, it's from a PPA | 14:11 |
| evelyette | I've created all the necessary directories, bin, lib, dev, home ... with the binaries and libraries .. | 14:11 |
| evelyette | anyi ideas ? | 14:11 |
| NyberMi1 | ikonia: any log file regarding resuming from suspend i could eye over ? | 14:11 |
| adrian_kx | plain and simple i thought someone has an ideea what bindings are broken | 14:11 |
| ikonia | adrian_kx: the people who maintain that PPA will | 14:11 |
| ikonia | NyberMi1: syslog is a good start | 14:11 |

| adrian_kx | i`ll try to see if it happends the same on debian using liquirix kernels | 14:13 |
| CodeGnome2 | pokoko222: Linux doesn't have d partitions. So, you're either trying to change an NTFS partition, or you've done something else unusual. | 14:13 |
| minashokry | CodeGnome2, yes, I am using 64 bits and the cpu is 64, it has 8GB of ram and I have to use 64 bits edition | 14:14 |

| wrefdsfds | one Kubuntu, one Ubuntu, 32 bit | 14:29 |
| wrefdsfds | today they recieved | 14:29 |
| brontosaurusrex | midhuno, ok, a shot in the dark: if you go into cli and type 'which mplayer' it should give you something like /usr/bin/mplayer right? | 14:29 |
| compdoc | I hear no more free cds | 14:29 |
| Vadimer | yea you dl it and burn it onto a cd | 14:30 |
| wrefdsfds | no | 14:30 |

| wrefdsfds | yes i know ! | 14:30 |
| wrefdsfds | its two moths ago | 14:30 |
| brontosaurusrex | midhuno, maybe smplayer is using some other version (unlikely), but you might try to enter the exact path into smplayer conf | 14:30 |
| wrefdsfds | but the shipping took long | 14:30 |
| bazhang | wrefdsfds, was there an actual support question? | 14:30 |
| ikonia | wrefdsfds: ok, so why are you telling people it's not over | 14:30 |

| wrefdsfds | ikonia: | 14:34 |
| wrefdsfds | there were missunderstanding | 14:34 |
| wrefdsfds | i meant: no -> i have no ssd, | 14:35 |
| wrefdsfds | because peturi asked | 14:35 |
| peturi | oki | 14:35 |
| ikonia | wrefdsfds: if you know the answer to a question, respond, if not it's best not to respond, as other wise 1400+ are going to respond with yes/no to questions that open | 14:35 |
| brontosaurusrex | midhuno, sorry running out of ideas | 14:35 |

| jeremy5189 | hi | 14:47 |
| * starZ hi all!! any new about gdm2 on 10.10 ? | 14:49 | |
| [TK]D-Fender | karaI usually advise waiting a week or two maybe before upgrading just in case there are even any last-minute critical bugs discovered | 14:49 |
| [TK]D-Fender | karan ^ | 14:49 |
| ikonia | starZ: there is nothing to report on it, | 14:49 |
| MK`` | when I use xmodmap -pk, it shows 6 entries for most keys; the first 2 are normal, normal+Shift, and the 5th and 6th are AltGr, AltGr+shift. The middle set is identical to the first set of 2, is this for some compatibility reason? by AltGr I mean ISO_Level3_Shift | 14:49 |
| dd214 | su vs gksu vs sudo vs gksudo?? I'm looking for a good thread that explains these, no luck.. | 14:50 |
| ThinkT510 | !gksudo | dd214 | 14:50 |
| ubottu | dd214: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 14:50 |
| starZ | need to make advanced custumization on the boot.. do you know better tools than gdm2setup ? | 14:51 |

| saimanoj | Previously while i was using Ubuntu 10.10 I sent a key to the key server using gpg --send-keys | 14:51 |

| samuel_ | hey guys, my computer doesn't seem to want to co-operate with my USB headphones now, before when i plugged them in, i could select what to use from the sound menu with a radio button . and now, the only thing that shows up is the Headset under the Hardware tab, but when i click test sound, it just closes the sound menu. i am not getting any radio selection buttons now, and unable to hear from my headphones, can anyone enlighten me ? thanks :) | 14:52 |
| saimanoj | and generated a new key pair | 14:52 |
| saimanoj | I sent this key pair again | 14:52 |
| saimanoj | Will it cause any problem | 14:52 |
| ThinkT510 | saimanoj: 11.04 support in #ubuntu+1 | 14:52 |
| saimanoj | this is not specific to 11.04 | 14:52 |
| saimanoj | I just reinstalled ubuntu | 14:52 |
| saimanoj | and lost my key pair | 14:53 |
| saimanoj | and generated a new key pair again | 14:53 |
| fisix | pidgin has stopped receiving emoticons (they appear as the text keyword or a black rectangle with crossed out red circle). wat do? | 14:53 |

| saimanoj | I had a key pair in my system and I also sent it to key server. Now, I reinstalled Ubuntu and generated a new key pair(gpg) and sent this one also to the key server. Will it cause any problem in future? Since there is a key which is obsolete now, can i remove that key pair now? | 14:56 |
| Feldegast | saimanoj do you still have the old keypair? | 14:57 |
| saimanoj | I do not have it in my system, but it is in the server( i suppose). | 14:57 |
| jxajroad | saudações amigos linuxistas! | 14:58 |
| Feldegast | when i was using gpg it only uploaded the public key, which can be maked as invalid if you have the private key | 14:58 |

| MangledBody | Hi everybody! Can someone help me create a macro for OpenOffice Write?? | 15:02 |
| compdoc | scarr, you asking for a new laptop? | 15:03 |
| ThinkT510 | scarr: why do you think its too old? | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | scarr, how old and a few specs /details ps | 15:03 |
| scarr | no I got one with win ME | 15:03 |
| MangledBody | scarr: Upgrade to linux? Try Lubuntu, it's very light | 15:03 |
| candyban__ | scarr, you can always run linux on it ... but it may not have the features you want | 15:03 |
| BlouBlou | scarr: you can use xubuntu, if not, lubuntu, or just install PuppyLinux | 15:03 |
| scarr | the cd rom wont read the iso and the usb is not HI speed | 15:03 |
| BlouBlou | puppylinux only if lubuntu doesn't work, it's too simple | 15:03 |
| candyban__ | scarr, vectorlinux may also be a good option (depending on the specs of your system) | 15:04 |
| arand | amirite: service --status-all might be it? | 15:04 |
| scarr | but how to load it? I don't understand why the ISO disc hangs at boot | 15:04 |
| ThinkT510 | scarr: how much ram do you have> | 15:05 |
| compdoc | cd drives do go bad | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | scarr, suggest you try the alternateinstall | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | !alternate | scarr | 15:06 |
| ubottu | scarr: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 15:06 |
| scarr | 240MB ? or something it was 128 last night before I upgraded | 15:06 |
| BlouBlou | scarr: just download the image, copy it to a CD or DVD (I don't how much Maverick takes), and change BIOS to boot from CD before HDD. | 15:06 |
| BlouBlou | !download | scarr | 15:06 |
| ubottu | scarr: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 15:06 |
| candyban__ | scarr, what do you want to use it for? | 15:06 |
| oriano | hola, tengo una dudaÇ como hacer para configurar mi webcam para amsn. | 15:07 |

| Feldegast | cellardoor can you completly remove it then re-install it using app? | 15:09 |
| Feldegast | *apt | 15:09 |
| arand | cellardoor: .gnome2 .config or in gconf-editor are likely places. | 15:09 |
| Bipul | whear is the location of a file which i have downloaded from terminal | 15:09 |

| BluesKaj | scarr, the alternate cd helped me install on an a 7 yr old desktop , but your memory is somewhat low for a full bown gnome or kde desktop install | 15:10 |
| arand | Bipul: directory you werer in whilst downloding, probably | 15:10 |

| oriano | preciso configurar novamente a rede, ou so entrar no terminal ubuntu br | 15:11 |
| compdoc | you must not think highly of the misses | 15:11 |
| arand | Bipul: What is "X" file and how did you get it? | 15:11 |
| scarr | She keeps falling asleep watching movies. Then rolls over sending her old lap top to the floor | 15:11 |
| scarr | lol | 15:11 |
| BlouBlou | oriano: this channel is only in english, join in #ubuntu-br or #ubuntu-pt | 15:11 |
| candyban__ | scarr, do you have another (more powerful computer) in your network? Perhaps you can use it as a "thin client" | 15:11 |
| brontosaurusrex | cellardoor, ~/.gconf/apps/docky-2 | 15:11 |
| cellardoor | Feldegast: I am on Gentoo, just asking here because there tends to be a higher response rate ;) | 15:11 |
| fisix | pidgin has stopped receiving emoticons (they appear as the text keyword or a black rectangle with crossed out red circle). wat do? | 15:11 |
| Bipul | X file here is gyachi | 15:11 |
| scarr | I can't even get the drivers off of Sony's site | 15:12 |
| BlouBlou | fisix: go to preferences, and change configuration | 15:12 |
| Bipul | i am tring to install gyachi from this commands sudo add-apt-repository ppa:adilson/experimental | 15:12 |
| Bipul | sudo apt-get update | 15:12 |
| Bipul | sudo apt-get install gyachi | 15:12 |
| scarr | that sounds fun though | 15:12 |
| BlouBlou | fisix: most probably you changed emoticons-pack | 15:12 |
| cellardoor | brontosaurusrex: shall I just remove whats in there totally? I only just installed it so don't have a custom config worth treasuring | 15:12 |
| fisix | BlouBlou, oh i'm talking about custom emoticons over wlm/msn | 15:12 |
| arand | Bipul: And what kind of errors do you get? | 15:13 |
| brontosaurusrex | cellardoor, yeah, you may just rename the directory docky-2 to docky-2_bak | 15:13 |
| rzx237 | Bipul: look into list of file in /var/lib/dpkg/info/gyachi.list I think.. | 15:13 |
| oriano | gracias amigo! pero pregunto si tengo que configurar todo irc o solo entrar en el terminal como root, pues estoy intentando y no consigo entrar por lo terminal | 15:13 |

| junaidnaseer | as an additional info ...

I tried at the prompt: iwlist wlan0 scan ... and got the reply that "interface does not support scanning" | 15:19 |
| junaidnaseer | Also, I can't seem to get it to work through NetworkManager or ifconfig. Even if add the SSID of the network, the NetworkManager upon clicking on the taskbar icon, only shows the option to connect to my wired internet. It does not show the wireless internet connection option, even I have added the wireless network. Any help please ???

| ubottu | alabd read this please: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

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+) | 15:22 |
| alabd | oh yes thanks' | 15:22 |

| kyubutsu | junaidnaseer: then wait your turn to be heard! | 15:25 |
| Adis34 | I can't boot windows anymore, so I can't run chkdsk | 15:25 |
| kyubutsu | just like in here | 15:25 |
| ThinkT510 | junaidnaseer: is there an #opensuse | 15:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Adis34: there are some iso files ms has out of live windows repair systems | 15:25 |
| junaidnaseer | bazhang: i thought linux was about sharing ... what exactly does ubuntu stand for ... anyways ... thanks guys ... | 15:26 |
| bazhang | ThinkT510, redirects to #suse | 15:26 |
| Adis34 | I have a Vista recovery disk, however when I run it, it doesnt detect my hard disk | 15:26 |
| ThinkT510 | bazhang: ahh, thanks | 15:26 |
| junaidnaseer | bazhang, ThinkT510: thanks guys ... | 15:26 |
| Adis34 | So I cant run any of the repair tools | 15:26 |

| junaidnaseer | kyubutsu, hmmm ... i am waiting ... while they discuss Android and iPhones on SuSE channel ... :( | 15:27 |
| bazhang | cellardoor, its still not the right place to ask | 15:27 |
| Adis34 | Yeah but, when I run testdisk, it detects all the files on it and says nothing is wrong with it | 15:27 |
| deadhead | how can i fix this? E:Type 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/kupfer-team/ppa/ubuntu' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kupfer-team-ppa-maverick.list' | 15:28 |
| bphogan | So, every couple years I run through this but I always forget... if I have apache set up with all the defaults (sudo apt-get install apache2) then how do I correctly set permissions and ownership on /var/www so that new files that I scp there get appropriate permissions? Tons of forums with differing answers. Do I change the owner:group to my user? Do I add my user to www-data? Confused :) | 15:28 |
| bazhang | deadhead, you want to purge that ppa? | 15:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Adis34: i would suggest #windows for advice. and mount the fs if you can. and back it up somewhere soon. | 15:28 |

| siddhantchd | KM0201: i have that running thru the lan | 16:10 |
| KM0201 | siddhantchd, open synaptic package manager (system/admin/synaptic) | 16:10 |
| gdea73 | hi | 16:10 |
| gdea73 | I need help | 16:10 |
| gdea73 | my computer won't boot | 16:10 |
| [bean] | kyubutsu: i know that, but they didnt | 16:10 |
| siddhantchd | KM0201 wht afte that | 16:10 |
| hylian | ok ill take a crack at fixing this myself. | 16:11 |
| KM0201 | do a search for "bcmwl" (again, lowercase L) | 16:11 |
| Cereal-Tree | just for the case sommebody isnt able to configure grub or that type of shit, just download the system rescue disk and install it with universal bootloader (you can also choose it in the bootloader list and click on download the iso) and run it, then you can reinstall everything or run a terminal | 16:11 |
| Cereal-Tree | peace | 16:11 |
| FloodBot1 | Cereal-Tree: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:11 |
| KM0201 | siddhantchd, after that search, you should see "bcmwl-kernel-source" | 16:11 |
| hardcold_ | step one complete | 16:11 |

| jhala | which is best package for digital circuit simulation and nice circuits to cut nd paste elsewhere on ubuntu | 16:15 |
| gdea73 | This happened after installing updates via the update manager. | 16:15 |
| jhala | no one knows | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: the command is NOT !compile thats a BOT trigger for here in IRC | 16:15 |
| brontosaurusrex | jhala, type 'circuit' in software center | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: and you will need to have installed the compiler and developer software packages | 16:16 |
| MK`` | What command can I use to look at updates that have been downloaded but not installed yet because they need a system reboot to complete installation? | 16:16 |
| brontosaurusrex | !best | 16:16 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 16:16 |
| jhala | brontosaurusrex: search depends .if i type electronics i may end up getting better ones too/ so i need a first hand experience of some people on this | 16:17 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: I don't think that password prompt shows any charachters when typing.. | 16:17 |
| brontosaurusrex | jhala, that is true. | 16:18 |
| gdea73 | Diamondcite Yes I am aware of that, I've used termial before. The issue is it does not accept input. I can type any password and press enter but nothing happens. | 16:18 |
| [TK]D-Fender | Quick question : is there a GUI version of ALSA Mixer out there I can easily install? | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | [TK]D-Fender: theres sevarl alsa mixer front ends.. | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | [TK]D-Fender: check package manager for alsa or mixer | 16:18 |
| [TK]D-Fender | Basically I'm looking to do recording off my SB Audigy. | 16:18 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: Maybe you can try to boot into 'single' user mode and try to remove modem-manager ? | 16:19 |
| * [TK]D-Fender facepalms | 16:19 | |
| Dr_Willis | [TK]D-Fender: You may want to check out some of the audio tools. I never do sucgh things.. | 16:19 |
| hardcold_ | Maybe I should just wait until I see Treellama on Marathon next | 16:19 |
| gdea73 | Diamondcite: how would I go about doing that? I can't boot into regular mode *or* recovery mode at this popint. | 16:19 |
| [TK]D-Fender | First search on USC shows "Gnome ALSA mixer" | 16:19 |
| hardcold_ | he's the programmer | 16:19 |
| hardcold_ | I'm the #1 host of the game | 16:19 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: it dosent seem to be to hard to compile.. you need tolearn how compile things.. | 16:19 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: I think you can edit grub's boot lines for 1 session... | 16:19 |
| MK`` | when I use xmodmap -pk, it shows 6 entries for most keys; the first 2 are normal, normal+Shift, and the 5th and 6th are AltGr, AltGr+shift. The middle set is identical to the first set of 2, is this for some compatibility reason? by AltGr I mean ISO_Level3_Shift | 16:20 |
| gdea73 | diamondcite: okay, what would I add/ remove for "single user mode"? | 16:20 |
| hardcold_ | I am trying, in a very tired state | 16:20 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: install needed dev and compiler packages.. get source, ./configure, make, and run it.. | 16:20 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: Assuming you can get a boot line edit, add the word single to the end of the line and try to boot | 16:20 |

| Blues-Man | can I use maverick kernel while in karmic? is an old pc i don't need to upgrade all just kernel for pci issue | 16:21 |
| gdea73 | diamondcite, okay there are a few lines, do I add it at the end? or after silent splash? | 16:21 |
| Dr_Willis | blackbox: clarify what you mean 'menu screen' | 16:21 |
| === derp is now known as Zalgo | ||
| Dr_Willis | Blues-Man: that proberly is not a good idea. | 16:21 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: After silent splash | 16:21 |
| blackbox | Dr_Willis when your in your ubuntu try press alt and f1 | 16:21 |
| Blues-Man | Dr_Willis, so is better to get a vanilla kernel and build for it? i 'm in karmic i should do a double upgrade and I don't have lots of space/resources | 16:22 |
| hardcold_ | Well, my first day with Ubuntu, and a new computer which I bought just to use it with, is going swimingly | 16:22 |
| blackbox | Dr_Willis it suppose to 'Open the Applications menu' | 16:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Blues-Man: mixxing differnt versions.. can be bad... | 16:22 |
| MK`` | hardcold_ : mine crashed 3 times on first day :D | 16:22 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: Also are you sure the updates installed fully? It seems a little strange.. | 16:22 |
| hardcold_ | Only 3 times? | 16:22 |
| Blues-Man | Dr_Willis, what do you think about latest kernel.org kernel with an oldconfig ? | 16:22 |
| MK`` | heh | 16:22 |
| itguru | I have a dell inspiron duo - and when the screen is locked, if I remove the power, the system crashes. I'm running natty, and wondering how do I file a bug while something is still beta? I've been able to recreate it, and I'm on the verge of a reinstall to confirm that I havn't fubar'd something | 16:22 |
| [TK]D-Fender | Dr_Willis: So do I ... on my servers :) | 16:23 |
| gdea73 | I thought they did. | 16:23 |
| gdea73 | I installed updates at least 1.5 hours before shutting it down. | 16:23 |
| hardcold_ | I'm running Beta 2 on an x120e | 16:23 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: you mean 11.04 ? | 16:23 |
| ThinkT510 | itguru: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04 | 16:23 |
| hardcold_ | yes | 16:23 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: i dont reccomend using that if you are a linux beginner... | 16:23 |
| hardcold_ | haha | 16:24 |
| hardcold_ | hahahahahahaha | 16:24 |
| gdea73 | (I shut down the PC through the menu.) also, I did add single with two spaces after silent splash but I have the exact same error | 16:24 |
| blackbox | guys i can't do the alt f1; it suppose to open up 'Open the Applications menu' how can i fix that, please pm me | 16:24 |
| gdea73 | diamondcite: I still can't type the password either. | 16:24 |
| hardcold_ | 11.04 beta 2 is supposed to be the easiest thing for this computer | 16:24 |
| Technicus | Hello . . . the weirdest foo bar ever . . . broken package(s) messed up synaptic, when I try to open package manager it does not accept my password . . . I installed a bunch of themes and there was something wrong with the package splashy, now I can't use synaptic and the theme won't change . . . I am stuck with a retarted fat mouse pointer. How can I correct this? | 16:24 |
| hardcold_ | as it's so new | 16:24 |
| raheela | Hi | 16:24 |
| BlouBlou | hardcold_: and so beta | 16:25 |
| hardcold_ | 10.1 has a lot of issues | 16:25 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: i dont see the logic in that chain of thought... | 16:25 |
| ThinkT510 | hardcold_: read up on what beta means | 16:25 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: Do you have a live-CD or live-usb on hand? | 16:25 |
| hardcold_ | with this | 16:25 |
| raheela | Why is mu miic not working | 16:25 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: Unless you have some very very new/weird hardware.. | 16:25 |
| hardcold_ | in what chain of thought? 11.04 is the easiest install for a functional system on the x120e | 16:25 |
| gdea73 | diamondcite: I do have a live CD in a stack of like 2000 CD's :P but sure I can go find it | 16:25 |
| hardcold_ | I was trying to make it as simple as possible | 16:25 |
| BlouBlou | hardcold_: Then install 10.10 | 16:25 |
| kyubutsu | gdea73: backup any sensitive files you might have in that drive using the livecd and reinstall.. it'll only take half hour | 16:26 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: This is just a hope... but with a liveCD atleast you can chroot back into your machine and try to get it working that way? | 16:26 |
| hardcold_ | 10.1 does not work on this computer | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: how can it be shown its easiest? its still a work in progress.. your system could break with tomorrow updates.. or not.. | 16:26 |
| hardcold_ | the computer is too new | 16:26 |
| Tuubes | Hey, I've googled around and I can't find any drivers for a BiPac 3011N wireless USB adapter | 16:26 |
| BlouBlou | hardcold_: Then wait for 11.04, I don't recommend installing beta | 16:26 |
| gdea73 | aye head meets keyboard... I have a ton of important stuff to back up on that | 16:26 |
| itguru | ThinkT510: Thanks, I didn't even know that channel was here! | 16:26 |
| MK`` | What command can I use to look at updates that have been downloaded but not installed yet because they need a system reboot to complete installation? | 16:26 |
| hardcold_ | anyway, I have what I have | 16:26 |
| gdea73 | and last night I just finished setting it up as a music server, etc. took me forever to get samba working too. but if that's what it takes... | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | MK``: i can only think of 2 kinds of packages that would be that way.. kernels and video drivers.. | 16:27 |
| hardcold_ | I just want to install Aleph One, and then I have acheived victory | 16:27 |
| MK`` | kernel, Dr_Willis :P | 16:27 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: This method should not involve any formatting.. unless you somehow manage to run the installer instead of live system... | 16:27 |
| ThinkT510 | itguru: np, its mentioned in the channel topic | 16:27 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: so install the dev packages and build essential and compiule it | 16:27 |
| hardcold_ | in some wierd sort of masochistic way | 16:27 |
| hardcold_ | My MacBook Pro has been laughing at me all day | 16:27 |
| gdea73 | Diamondcite, oh I thought you meant to reinstall it from the LiveCD. What did you mean with chroot? what does that do? | 16:27 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: chroot is a way to change the root folder ( the / folder ) of the running system. | 16:28 |
| hardcold_ | nice thing about Ubuntu is the trackpad works | 16:28 |
| gdea73 | diamondcite, okay. so what command do I type in once I have Live CD running... chroot but what directory would I use? | 16:28 |
| hardcold_ | not the case for Windows 7 Home Premium Nightmare | 16:28 |
| Tuubes | Hey, I've googled around and I can't find any drivers for a BiPac 3011N wireless USB adapter | 16:28 |
| pfifo | is there a program i can install to emulate a grandfather clock through the pc's bell? | 16:28 |
| mosno | hardcold_: did you install the synaptics driver | 16:29 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: Err not sure yet.. I'm still looking up information as I go | 16:29 |
| XGaryG | What GUI does the current Ubuntu use? | 16:29 |
| hardcold_ | i went to the synaptics manager | 16:29 |
| cellardoor_ | http://paste.pocoo.org/show/372837/ | 16:29 |
| la_kaptulo | join ##esperanto | 16:29 |
| hardcold_ | and the packages I was supposed to install were already installed | 16:29 |
| ThinkT510 | XGaryG: gnome2 | 16:29 |
| lampe2 | hey i wanne copy the "ls" output to a file with subfolders but the command: "ls -R > out.txt" is a kind of ugly is there a better way? | 16:30 |
| mosno | hardcold_: i meant in win | 16:30 |
| XGaryG | Will it be going to Gome 3 soon? I've been hearing so much about it. | 16:30 |
| Tyrone | why i cant connect my squid proxy server? | 16:30 |
| Tuubes | Hey, I've googled around and I can't find any drivers for a BiPac 3011N wireless USB adapter | 16:31 |
| XGaryG | ... Gnome 3 | 16:31 |
| BlouBlou | XGaryG: They released it time ago | 16:31 |
| ThinkT510 | XGaryG: 11.04 will use unity, not gnome3 | 16:31 |
| hardcold_ | In Windows? | 16:31 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: Okay instead of chroot, can you see you where your server's /etc is stored in the drives listed? | 16:31 |
| Dr_Willis | lampe2: ls has dozens of options.. it depends on what sort of output you want | 16:31 |
| BlouBlou | ThinkT510: ubuntu 11.04 won't use gnome3? | 16:31 |
| hardcold_ | The only thing I used Windows for was th create a bootable SD card for ubuntu | 16:31 |
| mosno | hardcold_: yes (out of curiosity) | 16:31 |
| Dr_Willis | BlouBlou: its using Unity.. | 16:31 |

| gdea73 | Diamondcite, I have several CD's of 10.10 but only because they were corrupt unless burned at like 4x | 16:32 |
| hardcold_ | Keep in mind, I'm coming from OSX, where you download the program and run it | 16:32 |
| XGaryG | Do you have a link for Unity? Their web page? | 16:32 |
| hardcold_ | no installation | 16:32 |
| hardcold_ | let alone compiling | 16:32 |

| KM0201 | hardcold_, install what? | 16:40 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: to do what? | 16:40 |
| Tuubes_ | Hello I have two hardrives, one has ALL my old ubuntu stuff, how do i copy over eveything, including root files and drivers to my new ubuntu setup? | 16:40 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: Use that to boot into a desktop | 16:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !clone | 16:40 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 16:40 |
| hardcold_ | I want to compile Aleph One | 16:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes_: check the !backup factoid also.. | 16:40 |
| gdea73 | Diamondcite I'm in the desktop right now. | 16:40 |
| hardcold_ | someone said I should install something | 16:40 |
| Diamondcite | ceo: un-installing phpmyadmin completely and putting it back should reset everything should it not? | 16:40 |
| Tuubes_ | !backup | 16:40 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 16:41 |
| KM0201 | hardcold_, what is aleph one? | 16:41 |
| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: the compiler packages and whatever dev packages you need. | 16:41 |

| Dr_Willis | hardcold_: read the url the bot gave | 16:41 |
| KM0201 | !compile | hardcold_ if you have to ask, it's probably best you not undertake it | 16:41 |
| ubottu | hardcold_ if you have to ask, it's probably best you not undertake it: please see above | 16:41 |
| gdea73 | I see my 988 GB filesystem, shouldl I mount it? | 16:41 |
| === hamiltonham is now known as EOF-gakusei | ||
| EOF-gakusei | Dr_Willis: according to their list, it's fully supported in sane-backends 1.0.22 | 16:41 |
| EOF-gakusei | I've tried the upstream version | 16:42 |
| Dr_Willis | EOF-gakusei: check the forums perhaps theres a known bug. | 16:42 |
| hardcold_ | I bought this computer to run Ubuntu to host Aleph One games | 16:42 |
| EOF-gakusei | and ubuntu's patched version | 16:42 |
| EOF-gakusei | I'm guessing the genesys core isn't getting permission | 16:42 |
| itaylor57 | hardcold_: you need to ask in #ubuntu+1 since you are running 11.04 | 16:42 |
| hardcold_ | okay | 16:42 |
| === Tuubes_ is now known as Tuubes | ||
| Diamondcite | gdea73: Yes mount it (everything is in root?!) | 16:42 |
| EOF-gakusei | even though it's config'd with the correct USB device IDs | 16:42 |
| gdea73 | diamondcite, I don't know what you mean by "everything is in root?!" but yes I'll mount it. | 16:43 |
| Tuubes | Hello I have two hardrives, one has ALL my old ubuntu stuff, how do i copy over eveything, including root files and drivers to my new ubuntu setup? I can't use backup because I cannot install ubuntu on the hardrive with all the settings? It says I don't have permission to copy over and merge my files, what do? | 16:43 |
| EOF-gakusei | if this doesn't work on my debian partition | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: theres dozens of ways to do it.. you could use 'dd' and then gparted to resize the partitions.. if you wanted to do it old-skool | 16:43 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: After it's mounted, go to it's /etc/init | 16:44 |
| EOF-gakusei | then I call shenanigans on their support list... | 16:44 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis I just want to copy over my settings, drivers and all taht | 16:44 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: Which should be something like /media/ABCDEF123456789BCDA/etc/init | 16:44 |
| rzx237 | does vsftpd save cache for uploaded file somewhere? I upload a file to a mounted --bind folder to another partition and now my / partition is full | 16:44 |
| gdea73_ | hello | 16:45 |
| Diamondcite | ..... | 16:45 |
| Xylch | Is there a way to hide certain app indicators on the gnome panel? | 16:45 |
| gdea73_ | Diamondcite, I'm now on my Ubuntu box running the live CD | 16:45 |
| EOF-gakusei | Tuubes: are both setups the same version? | 16:45 |
| Tuubes | Nope | 16:45 |
| Tuubes | One is older than the other | 16:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you reinstall the drivers.. copy setting files from whever they are at then... | 16:45 |
| Xylch | For example, I have no need to see that dropbox is running. | 16:45 |
| gdea73_ | Diamondcite, I've mounted my HD from the Live CD, and I'm in the /etc folder. | 16:45 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73_: Ah okay, can you please open a terminal and navigate to your now mounted drive? | 16:45 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis I don't know how to copy it over and stuff | 16:45 |
| van7hu | hello, not sure this is a right question, I want to learn about LAMP, but I don't have an actually server to do that, so I decide to use virtual machine, what could I use on linux, is virtualbox power as VMWARE on windows? | 16:45 |
| EOF-gakusei | Tuubes: you could dd over the whole thing and upgrade from there | 16:45 |
| ThinkT510 | Tuubes: newer releases use newer kernels, you don't want to move over your old drivers (unless there is something obscure you need) | 16:45 |
| Tuubes | dd over? | 16:46 |
| gdea73_ | Diamondcite okay I'm in /etc | 16:46 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73: You are SURE you in in /media/*/etc and not /etc ? | 16:46 |
| EOF-gakusei | dd command :P | 16:46 |
| Tuubes | thinkt510 there is something obscure | 16:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you are going to do a new install to the new HD then copy the things over? is that the plan? | 16:46 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis yes | 16:46 |
| gdea73_ | diamondcite, oh... wait... guess not. | 16:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: or do you want to clone the WHOLE system to a bigger hd? | 16:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: do the install.. and copy the things from the old system to the new then. | 16:46 |
| Tuubes | How then? It won't let me copy over my settings like drivers | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | You dont copy over 'drivers' and 'apps' you reinstall them | 16:47 |
| gdea73_ | Diamondcite okay now I'm in /media/b3d83c84-92f7-44c9-92e1-ff52e5ba7a87/ | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | You copy the setting files from wherver they are at. to where they belong. | 16:47 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73_: That sounds better ^_^ | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: are you refering to USER settings? or system settings? | 16:47 |
| gdea73_ | Diamondcite, ok lol. So I'm in the /etc, what do I do now? | 16:47 |
| Tuubes | Dr_willis i want to copy eveything in one system to the other, EVERYTHING, so what do i do? | 16:47 |
| liekzomg | does anyone know any tutorials for installing/booting from large disks (2TB+). I'm pretty sure I need to use GPT but i'm having a hell of a time figuring it out in the advanced installer. | 16:48 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73_: go to the init folder. | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: You just stated you wanted to 'CLONE' the whole disk to a new disk then.. | 16:48 |
| gdea73_ | diamondcite okay | 16:48 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73_: When you ls, do you see a modem-manager.conf ? | 16:48 |
| eltigre | anybody had success with hamachi? | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: that was not what you said earlier.. | 16:48 |
| Tuubes | sorry my bad willis :( | 16:48 |
| evelyette | hi, I accidentally did mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev; umount /mnt/dev; .... now I have nothing in /dev (except 3 items) ... how can I repopulate /dev wihout restarting computer ? | 16:48 |
| gdea73_ | Diamondcite, actually, I don't. | 16:48 |
| gdea73_ | diamondcite, it goes from irqbalance.conf to module-init-tools.conf | 16:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: use some of the backup/restore tools to backup TO the new HD. dd is one way to do it. | 16:49 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73_: I don't on my side either, well it was worth a shot =P Still looking. | 16:49 |
| Diamondcite | gdea73_: Nothing in between? | 16:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: i just keep my /home/ and do new installs normally. | 16:49 |
| Pip | I'm here to save lives | 16:49 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis I cannot access the ubuntu on the other HD i watn to copy the stuff from but I can access the files from the HD | 16:49 |
| gdea73_ | Diamondcite, nope. should we talk via PM, maybe a little easier? | 16:49 |
| Pip | And souls too | 16:49 |

| Pip | blackbox, cool down your cpu | 16:51 |
| blackmonk | ok | 16:51 |
| blackmonk | sorry my bad | 16:51 |
| Pip | blackbox, I'm not finished | 16:51 |
| blackbox | pip? | 16:51 |
| XGaryG | So from what I am seeing, Unity is pretty mush a Ubuntu based project? | 16:51 |
| blackbox | guys i can't do the alt f1; it suppose to open up 'Open the Applications menu' how can i fix that, please pm me | 16:51 |
| Pip | Sorry | 16:51 |
| XGaryG | ...much | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: 'sudo | 16:52 |
| Pip | blackmonk, Cool down your cpu via cpufreq | 16:52 |
| Tuubes | k | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: 'sudo' as needed. | 16:52 |
| BlouBlou | !pm | blackmonk | 16:52 |
| ubottu | blackmonk: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 16:52 |
| blackmonk | what is cpufeg how can i access that one | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: i cheat and use mc 'sudo mc' :) for my root user file manager | 16:52 |
| ThinkT510 | XGaryG: basically yes | 16:52 |
| BlouBlou | blackmonk: better to don't PM :-) | 16:52 |
| kyubutsu | Dr_Willis: wouldnt it be alot easier to just install a fresh system on the target hdd and just access his data by mounting the other drive? why all this copying around? | 16:52 |
| Tuubes | So just "sudo" ? | 16:52 |
| blackmonk | oh ok sorry where i can find the channel | 16:52 |
| Pip | blackbox, It's a software that is to utilize the cpu speedstep technology | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | kyubutsu: no idea.. because he has no idea how to do linux basics Im guessing.. | 16:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: youmay want to learn some baics first | 16:53 |
| Pip | :S too man black- | 16:53 |
| Pip | blackmonk, gnome or KDE ? | 16:53 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis I promise to but right now I got some important settings, please i ask if you can tell me how to be root on both HD's to copy the stuff over | 16:53 |
| blackmonk | i have no idea on operating linux just a new | 16:53 |
| blackmonk | gnome | 16:53 |
| blackmonk | i guess | 16:53 |
| blackmonk | ubuntu 11 | 16:54 |
| BlouBlou | blackmonk: 11.04? | 16:54 |
| blackmonk | no | 16:54 |
| blackmonk | older one | 16:54 |
| BlouBlou | ah okay | 16:54 |
| BlouBlou | because 11.04 it's a beta | 16:54 |
| Pip | blackmonk, There is an applet of cpu monitor for gnome panel, you can put in within your sight | 16:54 |
| blackmonk | yeah i just read that one | 16:54 |
| XGaryG | So Ubuntu is going to stay Gnome-based. You are just creating your own Ubuntu-specific shell or GUI to work from? | 16:54 |
| itaylor57 | Tuubes: if you do what you are saying you will probably make your other ubuntu install non bootable | 16:54 |
| Tuubes | itaylor57 this will take less time | 16:54 |
| blackmonk | yeah its fine with monitoring but i want o cool down the temp | 16:55 |
| Pip | blackmonk, And check within your synaptic if there is cpufrequtils installed | 16:55 |
| ThinkT510 | XGaryG: yes, however i prefer xfce so i use xubuntu, i can't get on with unity | 16:55 |
| blackmonk | ok so i have to look after cpufrequitls | 16:55 |
| blackmonk | huh? | 16:55 |
| Pip | Yes | 16:55 |
| TRider | Built in speakers on laptot acer dont work | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: run a file manager as root.. or use the command line via sudo as needed. | 16:56 |
| blackmonk | and after its installation what i ahve to do? | 16:56 |
| Tuubes | what file manager? | 16:56 |
| Pip | blackmonk, you should follow a beginner HOWTO actually | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: how do you even know what you are wanting to backup? | 16:56 |
| blackmonk | yeah that will be good for me | 16:56 |
| XGaryG | Really? Why is that, ThinkT510 ? | 16:56 |
| Pip | There is a bunch of things to setup before you really rock and roll | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: i mentoned that i use 'mc' as my root user file manager.. theres others. like nautilus. | 16:56 |
| Pip | blackmonk, Ubuntu version .... ? | 16:56 |
| blackmonk | but you with this brighness i can barely type | 16:56 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis I want to install my internet driver, firefox and driver settings | 16:56 |
| user__ | .. | 16:57 |
| blackmonk | 11 version | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you reinstall drivers and apps.. you dont just copy them over.. | 16:57 |
| blackmonk | not 11.04 | 16:57 |
| Pip | blackmonk, That could be due to the driver of your monitor | 16:57 |
| Tuubes | Took me 1.5 hours to get my internet to work | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: the setting files are where? ive no idea.. in /etc/ somewhere.. if you know where they are at.. copy them to your new /etc/ | 16:57 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: there is only 11.04 as an 11 version | 16:57 |
| Tuubes | So I'll just cope em ;) | 16:57 |
| blackmonk | its a laptop i have toshiba m500 | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you proberly CANT just copy them.... | 16:57 |
| gorgeous-y | hi all | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you seem to be missing that point. | 16:57 |
| ThinkT510 | XGaryG: to each their own, i just find xfce has everything i need and i can customise it to my liking, others feel the same about kde/gnome/enlightenment/lxde ect. just a matter of personal preference | 16:58 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: please pastebin the output of the command "lsb_release -a" in a pastein | 16:58 |
| Tuubes | What, how do i get them from one ubuntu to another | 16:58 |
| ikonia | pastebin | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: are these the same ubuntu versions? | 16:58 |
| clown_ | bybe | 16:58 |
| Tuubes | no | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you reinstall them... | 16:58 |
| TRider | Built in speakers on laptot acer dont work | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: this is not windows where you just copy over the 'priogram files' directory. | 16:58 |
| Tuubes | dr_willis i cannot find my internet drive | 16:58 |
| blackmonk | ikonia: i dont undertand you | 16:58 |
| Pip | blackmonk, There should be not much to configure actually, ubuntu is pretty automatic | 16:58 |
| blackmonk | hmm .. but i have this problem what can i do | 16:59 |
| user__ | how do you change your name in this channel? | 16:59 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: open a terminal do you know how to do that ? | 16:59 |
| XGaryG | Actually, designing your own shell is the best idea I have heard in a while. You can make it 'Your Shell'. | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | user__: /nick Bill_Gates | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | user__: :) | 16:59 |
| ellwu | hi goreous-y | 16:59 |

| blackmonk | i kno how to open a termina; | 16:59 |
| Pip | blackmonk, Do you know how to manager software packages ? | 17:00 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: we need to know what version of ubuntu ytou're using | 17:00 |
| XGaryG | I have not used Ubuntu for a while, but I am going to read up some. That might make me switch. Thanks. | 17:00 |
| Pip | ikonia, He said he knows nothing about linux | 17:00 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis, it's IMPOSSIBLE to find drivers for bipac3011N for linux | 17:00 |
| blackmonk | yeah i saw somewhere that to package manager or something | 17:00 |
| Pip | Good | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you said you got it going befor.. so somthign seems confuseing about your statements. | 17:00 |
| ikonia | Pip: he needs to know what version he's using | 17:00 |
| MK`` | how do I get output from the terminal to save to a file? These outputs are so long they go off the buffer and I can't read the top... | 17:00 |
| ThinkT510 | XGaryG: no worries, have fun | 17:00 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: before we go any further - we need to konw what version you are using | 17:00 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis I have no internet no matter what ever forever never ever | 17:00 |
| user__ | so whats the topic of the day? | 17:00 |
| Pip | At least you need to know how to open a terminal and how to install packages with a GUI manager | 17:01 |
| Tuubes | The other one did cos I had a driver for it | 17:01 |
| Tuubes | I want that driver here | 17:01 |
| blackmonk | ok i have 10.10 one too and same problem goes with that one | 17:01 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: too ? | 17:01 |
| blackmonk | so assume i ave a0.a0 xoz i forget the one with 11 | 17:01 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: I suspect you are not telling us the truth here | 17:01 |
| Pip | there is 11.0 there | 17:01 |
| blackmonk | no i tried 10.10 | 17:01 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: what version are you actually USING | 17:01 |
| blackmonk | then i tries | 17:01 |
| blackmonk | 11 | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: You seem to be saying the Driver exists on your Old install but not the new.. how did you get it on the old install... | 17:01 |
| blackmonk | but same | 17:01 |
| blackmonk | problem | 17:01 |
| FloodBot1 | blackmonk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:01 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: right, 11 is not supported | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you would reinstall it the same way you did on the old. | 17:01 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: wait for it to become stable, it has bugs | 17:01 |
| blackmonk | right now i am using no linux guys | 17:01 |
| Tuubes | Dr_willis no idea and nobody wants to help me find it ever forever never | 17:01 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: use one of the stable releases then | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: You have no idea how you got it working befor? | 17:02 |
| blackmonk | which one you prefer | 17:02 |
| Tuubes | Yep :D | 17:02 |
| KM0201 | blackmonk, what exactly are you trying to do | 17:02 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: it's what you prefer that's important | 17:02 |
| blackmonk | guys i really want to work with linux | 17:02 |
| user__ | what are we talking about? | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: time to start paying more attention i guess.. and take notes.. I would stick with the old install then. and use the new HD as a data drive. | 17:02 |
| shanttu | Hi. I am having a problem with scrolling. Scrolling lags and takes huge cpu. I have tried ff 3 & 4 and chrome. 10.10 with ati open drivers. | 17:02 |
| ikonia | blackmonk: right, so install a stable ubuntu version | 17:02 |
| BlouBlou | blackmonk: Then do it | 17:02 |

| KM0201 | blackmonk, what is the problem? | 17:03 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis I have no internet and I can't run ubuntu on the other HDD I just want my drivers :( | 17:03 |
| blackmonk | see ikonia i have no idea about linux versions stable or unsatble , the one which will work for me will be fine.. please suggest me one | 17:03 |
| KM0201 | Pip, ah ok.. i'd try another linux distro then.. or get a cooling pad. | 17:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you dont just copy drivers from one install to another.. expecially if they are differnt releases.. adn you never mentioned that you cant run the other hdd.. | 17:03 |
| Tuubes | oh man | 17:03 |
| blackmonk | which ubuntu version is stable | 17:04 |

| afirocks | it has one error that says parted server app closed | 17:13 |
| afirocks | any ideas? | 17:13 |
| biffbaxter | wink | 17:13 |
| Feldegast | afirocks pipe it to a file | 17:14 |
| bullgard4 | MK``: Use the > operator to divert output to a text file. | 17:14 |
| afirocks | <~ pc illiterate | 17:14 |
| r1sk | so the problem is that i decided to move from windows into Ubuntu , all is good all my old data from 2 HDD in NTFS working well , but i've got another HDD 2TB that the ubutntu doesn't recognize.. what can i do ? | 17:14 |

| Feldegast | afirocks like MK`` said | 17:15 |
| r1sk | NTFS , and i've got no idea how to mount by hand | 17:15 |
| bullgard4 | r1sk: You can use a Ubuntu live cd and the GParted program to analyze the problem. | 17:15 |
| Anonymoose-Georg | Hello? | 17:15 |
| afirocks | netbook doesnt have a cd drive | 17:15 |
| Pip | afirocks, When you don't know what you're doing, you should stop what you are doing and try to do other things | 17:15 |
| MK`` | ok, thanks guys | 17:15 |
| MK`` | night | 17:15 |
| Pip | Night | 17:15 |
| Anonymoose-Georg | I have a question. | 17:15 |

| Anonymoose-Georg | How do I play Ubuntu? | 17:16 |
| afirocks | i followed prompts | 17:16 |
| afirocks | and it just freezers | 17:16 |
| Pip | Anonymoose-Georg, define play | 17:16 |
| Pip | Anonymoose-Georg, You don't play Ubuntu actually, sometimes She plays you :D | 17:16 |
| Anonymoose-Georg | How do I use, operate Ubuntu? | 17:16 |

| Anonymoose-Georg | Which is? | 17:17 |
| Pip | Anonymoose-Georg, Let me ask you some simple questions | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Anonymoose-Georg: you want to ask a more specific question? | 17:17 |
| Pip | Anonymoose-Georg, 1) Why are you here ? | 17:17 |
| felon | can someone help me figure out if GLIB is correctly installed dosent ubuntu 10.04 lucid have it already installed? | 17:17 |
| notlink | Hey! Why is the gnubik package so out of date? | 17:17 |
| Anonymoose-Georg | I am here because I require assistance with playing Ubuntu. | 17:17 |
| afirocks | use or play | 17:18 |
| bullgard4 | felon: What is GLIB? | 17:18 |
| Anonymoose-Georg | afirocks, I think play is a more suitable word. | 17:18 |
| shanttu | Problem with scrolling. Scrolling lags and takes huge cpu. I have tried ff 3 & 4 and chrome. 10.10 with ati open drivers. Help, please. | 17:18 |
| Pip | Anonymoose-Georg, 2) Why ubunut ? | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Anonymoose-Georg: no one ha a clue what you are asking about... | 17:19 |
| Anonymoose-Georg | I don't know how to plsay Ubuntu. | 17:19 |
| felon | bullgard4 : i could show you my error msg, while trying to configure xchat 2.8.8 | 17:19 |
| Anonymoose-Georg | I mean, play. | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Anonymoose-Georg: no one knows what youmean by the term 'play' | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | !manual | Anonymoose-Georg | 17:20 |
| ubottu | Anonymoose-Georg: 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/ | 17:20 |
| Pip | Anonymoose-Georg, 2) You can play other distributions, why ubuntu ? | 17:20 |
| bullgard4 | shanttu: Analyze /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | 17:20 |
| Anonymoose-Georg | Pip, I prefer Ubuntu because it's an open-source, community-based, safe and free game. | 17:20 |
| * Dr_Willis thinks hes going to ignore the trolling | 17:21 | |
| * Dr_Willis goes back to playing emacs | 17:21 | |
| tjiggi_fo | took a while | 17:21 |
| Pip | Anonymoose-Georg, Read the Manual then | 17:21 |
| shanttu | bullgard: what part is relevant? | 17:22 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis I figuired out what I want | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: i am actually.. well.. suprised at that. :) | 17:22 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis I want to copy EVERYTHING from my old HD to my new one | 17:22 |
| Pip | Well, there are over 300 distributions out there Anonymoose-Georg | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you want to CLONE the whole install to the new hard drive then? | 17:22 |
| Tuubes | Yes | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: a total bit for bit copy to the new hd... | 17:22 |
| Tuubes | Every driver, settings.. | 17:22 |
| Tuubes | yes | 17:23 |
| bullgard4 | shanttu: lines with "EE" or "WW" | 17:23 |
| Anonymoose-Georg | Pip: Can you recommend one? | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: You are confuseing the terms again.... | 17:23 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis I want everything, including my files, drivers, and everything from one HD to another | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: You dont clone to a 'new' install'' you are taking your total drive and just moveing the thing exactly to the new har ddrive... | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you can use dd. or a dozen other backup/restore tools to do that. | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: but if your old install does not work.. the new one wont work either.. it will be an identical clone. | 17:24 |
| Tuubes | Okay, but I can't boot ubuntu to the HD I want to move my stuff from. | 17:24 |
| Tuubes | My old install works, new one sucks | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: then you dont want to CLONE the old to a new HD... | 17:24 |
| kevin__ | Has anyone sucessfully got dropbox working in 11.04 beta 2? | 17:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: Fix the old one perhaps... | 17:24 |
| Tuubes | Ugh | 17:24 |
| Tuubes | Old HD out of space | 17:24 |
| Tuubes | Want to move to new one | 17:24 |
| Tuubes | New one more space | 17:24 |
| FloodBot1 | Tuubes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:24 |
| bullgard4 | kevin__: This is a question for #ubuntu+1. | 17:25 |
| ThinkT510 | kevin__: #ubuntu+1 | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: You can easially move /home/ or other dirs to the NEW hard drive. | 17:25 |
| Tuubes | Want to move all to new one. what do | 17:25 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis it says I don't have permission | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: if it dosent boot.. you dont want to clone it then. | 17:25 |
| kevin__ | ok thanks. | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: you need to learn some more linux basics and how permissions and root work. and use sudo as needed. | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: theresnot going to be a magical 1 command answer. | 17:25 |
| Tuubes | Can you walk me through, just for a bit/ | 17:25 |
| Tuubes | Or show me a guide | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: install mc, 'sudo mc' copy stuff over.. | 17:26 |
| Anonymoose-Georg | !manual | 17:26 |
| 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/ | 17:26 |
| Tuubes | command for mc? | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: or whatever other file manager you want to use | 17:26 |
| Tuubes | Remember I have no internet | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | command for mc is.. 'mc' | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: then use what file managers you got., | 17:26 |
| Tuubes | which is? | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: and learnign to use the command line will be helpfull - theres still not going to be a way to copy over the drivers from your OLD install to the new install. | 17:27 |
| Tuubes | I want to move my old /home/ to my new /home/ I can't do that? | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | moving home is trivial.. | 17:27 |
| Tuubes | Then how | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis | mount the old , sudo cp -r /home/whatever /home/wheverto | 17:28 |
| Tuubes | It's mounted | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis | bash basics. | 17:28 |
| bullgard4 | How is "resident memory" defined in System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes? | 17:28 |

| Tuubes | Damnit, so what do I do Dr_Willis, I just want to copy my entire old /home/ folder to my new /home/ folder\ | 17:31 |
| Tuubes | Thats all | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard4: perhaps its sourceforge not sourcefrog ? | 17:31 |

| Dr_Willis | bbl . gotta run. | 17:32 |
| bullgard4 | shanttu: I do not know much about ati open drivers. I am sorry that I cannot help you. | 17:32 |
| ThinkT510 | Tuubes: you've been told several times, you just have to be willing to learn for yourself, not just copy and paste commands | 17:32 |
| shanttu | bullgard4: ok. thanks anyway | 17:32 |
| BlouBlou | if I update to 11.04 (when it's released), will GNOME be purged etc etc... or woññ be recommended clean installation like when GRUB2 was implemented in Ubuntu? | 17:33 |
| Tuubes | ThinkT510 please remember ubuntu is for people, the devs say minimal hastle and stuff works out of the box | 17:33 |
| BlouBlou | s/woññ/will | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: given the hassles ive had with windows.. i will stick with ubuntu. | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Tuubes: If you dont want to learn anything.. well... | 17:34 |
| Tuubes | Dr_Willis can you just show me a guide for this I'd be happy | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !bash | 17:34 |
| Tuubes | Thats it. | 17:34 |

| Tuubes | In windows this is 3 clicks | 17:34 |

| pattern | i want exim to use my own exim.conf file, but when i create an /etc/exim4 directory containing just exim.conf and start exim, exim complains: "/usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf: Error, no /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, exiting." | 17:36 |
| XGaryG | If I download the latest beta, how easy is the switch to stable when it is released? | 17:36 |
| pattern | is there any way to get exim not to run /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf ? (short of maually editing /etc/init.d/exim4) | 17:36 |
| BlouBlou | XGaryG: it will update by normal updates | 17:36 |
| BlouBlou | XGaryG: daily | 17:36 |
| tensorpudding | the beta often undergoes lots of updates in a short amount of time | 17:36 |
| tensorpudding | but it's a smaller jump from beta to the release than from the old release to the release | 17:36 |
| pattern | or is there a Right Way to get exim to use my own exim.conf file? | 17:36 |
| ThinkT510 | XGaryG: i wouldn't recommend it but you can, its better to wait for the stable release | 17:37 |
| tensorpudding | the main issue with the beta is not that it lacks an easy upgrade path, but that it is in a state of rapid change and isn't really stable | 17:37 |
| Seven_Six_Two | pattern, there is likely a way, perhaps you can specify your config file on the command line. try man exim | 17:38 |
| pattern | Seven_Six_Two: it's not really a problem of passing it to exim | 17:38 |
| pattern | it's a problem of /etc/init.d/exim4 running that update-exim4.conf script by default | 17:39 |
| pattern | i want to avoid that | 17:39 |

| ThinkT510 | WiPindon: thats an rpm file, ubuntu uses deb | 17:41 |
| ThinkT510 | !alien | WiPindon | 17:42 |
| ubottu | WiPindon: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 17:42 |
| LGeek | yes | 17:42 |

| Krishnandu | Hey guys, FF4 is still not included in maverick updates?? | 17:44 |
| Tuubes | Yes | 17:44 |
| jaypro | Tuubes if you can navigate to both folders in nautilus, you can figure out location from there | 17:44 |
| Tuubes | nautilus? | 17:45 |
| tensorpudding | Tuubes: it's probably under the home folder in that drive? | 17:45 |
| ThinkT510 | !ff4 | Krishnandu | 17:45 |
| ubottu | Krishnandu: Firefox 4 is the current stable version of Firefox. Current versions of Ubuntu do not have it (see !latest), but there is an unofficial and unsupported PPA that you can use by running the following command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 17:45 |
| jaypro | tuubes nautilus is the file explorer | 17:45 |
| Tuubes | I see, so I'll navigate to both home folders, Okay now I'm there | 17:45 |

| Tyrone | need help here please why my laptop connected to my ubuntu cant use proxy server? i have install squid proxy in my ubuntu box | 17:46 |
| tensorpudding | there will be conflicts, most likely, you should replace them as you want | 17:46 |
| Tuubes | tensorpudding, my bad, I had everything in /File System/ I want to copy my old /File System/ to my new /File System/ | 17:47 |
| kyubutsu | here we go again | 17:47 |
| tensorpudding | what? | 17:47 |
| bullgard4 | How is "resident memory" defined in System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes? | 17:47 |
| tensorpudding | are those /'s for paths or for irc italics? | 17:47 |
| kyubutsu | tensorpudding: i dont think he has any idea what he REALLY wants to do, considering Dr_Willis has been coaching him for the last hour to no avail | 17:48 |
| tdelam | hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop, my trackpad buttons are acting like the trackpad itself so everytime i move a window or something the windows wander all over the place, how can i fix this? | 17:48 |
| tdelam | is there a specific driver or soemthing | 17:49 |
| ThinkT510 | tensorpudding: he is talking about the root directory (/) called file system under nautilus | 17:49 |
| jaypro | tuubes... in nautilus you can open up 2 file locations by going to view > extra pane. then you can navigate to both the source and destination file locations. from there, you can select all the files you want, right click, then move to other pane | 17:49 |
| scarr | Back again with a failed text install on an old vaio notebook | 17:50 |

| abiss27 | guys I uninstalled google chrome from my laptop, because i would like to reinstall it again because i messed up with one of the settings on it, I reinstalled only to find out that I have the same settings and themes also on it, is there a folder where these are keep even after I uninstalled? | 17:50 |

| kyubutsu | subrahmanyam: you might want to try that question at #freenode or #ubuntu-devs as well | 17:52 |
| bullgard4 | oCean: Is this definition authoritative? | 17:52 |
| oCean | bullgard4: it's just what I learned years ago | 17:52 |

| scarr | Anyone know anything about undefined video mode number :314 ? | 17:54 |
| bullgard4 | oCean: Ah! -- Thank you. So it is possible that for a certain process the larger part of resident memory is taken by shared libraries and not the process proper? | 17:54 |
| Tuubes | Jaypro, nope. It says the folder is "private" and I don't have the permission to read it | 17:55 |
| oCean | bullgard4: indeed it is | 17:55 |
| Hoxx_ | I installed Ubuntu stick and now I cant get into windows without the stick!! | 17:55 |

| policyq | is unity designed for netbooks? and if so why's it going on the desktop | 17:56 |
| ThinkT510 | Tuubes: it seems you don't understand what you are actually doing, copying one / filesystem to another is never a good idea and will break things | 17:56 |
| scarr | I'm 2 min away from taking a table leg to this old vaio. Any suggestions? | 17:57 |
| jaypro | Tuubes well... maybe you're going to have to do it from the terminal. in nautilus, you can find the path of the source and destination. then open up a terminal and type "sudo cp <source> <destination>" | 17:57 |

| Guest73207 | thanks! | 18:08 |
| Hoxx_ | nits_hunter: will the windows installation cd have that | 18:08 |

| pfifo | the final page of the ubuntu install used to ask you if you wanted to install a bootloader, now it ust installs it | 18:10 |
| Hoxx_ | kyubutsu: well usb sticks die | 18:10 |
| ThinkT510 | Tuubes: that thread discusses it, not sure where the driver is though | 18:10 |
| kyubutsu | Hoxx_: you have a date for its impending death? | 18:11 |
| Hoxx_ | kyubutsu: no, but the main thing is I wanted to keep ubuntu on the USB only | 18:11 |
| Hoxx_ | and get into windows noramally | 18:12 |
| kyubutsu | the simple solution is to fix the mbr if windows has more priority for you, that being said, you will probably lose your ubuntu | 18:12 |
| brightspark | kyubutsu, I wasn't technically supposed to install anything on that machine. | 18:12 |
| Hoxx_ | kyubutsu: even if its on the stick? | 18:12 |
| demonspork | so, xbmc is giving me no end of trouble, it runs really slowly and lags on just about any video | 18:12 |

| === hamiltonham is now known as EOF-sensei | ||

| rumpe1 | Steve^, if it happens on every boot without interruption by pressing c.... maybe there's a hardware problem | 18:31 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, ive always found it easier to use native firefox to get flash, but im pretty sure you cah download the flashinstall.exe from adobe and just run it with wine to get setup | 18:32 |
| policyq | KINGOFSWORDS: is it 32 bit firefox? | 18:32 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | pfifo it didnt work with installer | 18:32 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | yeh | 18:32 |
| Jdar2 | For my ubuntu, I can NEVER get flash player archive to install | 18:32 |
| Phail_Quail | policyq, I fail to see why this boxes Unity into a (netbook-only) corner. | 18:32 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | how do i check? | 18:32 |
| pfifo | Jdar2, put flashpayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins | 18:33 |

| runawayhacker | hey guys. Can anyone recommend a good tool to manage/administrate users kinda like active directory? I nee to lock down some accounts | 18:33 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, that could be a problem to install then most windows software isnt flexible about installing like linux stuff | 18:34 |
| policyq | Phail_Quail: well maybe i'd be more comfortable if it were designed for desktops or designed for both desktops and notebooks. i mean just one apparent consequence is the constraints that pour into the desktop implementation from the netbook perspective that is a bit of a turnoff, that is the restrictions on configurability. that stuff is sort of necessary for netbooks but not not needed for the desktop | 18:34 |
| policyq | *constraints | 18:34 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | hmmm | 18:34 |
| Phail_Quail | policyq, This needs to move into #ubuntu-offtopic. | 18:34 |
| tensorpudding | runawayhacker: lock how exactly? | 18:34 |
| rumpe1 | Steve^, too shorten the usual checks an idea would be to transfer the stuff you seldom need on an extra partition, which you only mount, when you need it... | 18:35 |
| SergioTapia | Is there a way to disable all these password prompts. It's my computer, I know what I'm doing. Every time I want to do something it gets in the way. | 18:35 |
| policyq | Phail_Quail: i agree and i'm here | 18:35 |

| pfifo | finn, then it did what it was supposed to, try a `dpkg-reconfigure gdm` and reboot, if it dosent work then you have broke it beyond repair imo | 19:31 |

| pfifo | mad1, there isnt much of a workaround, even in overclocking its still going to be mismatched. | 21:04 |
| KSHawkEye | erUSUL: It's putting them in ../../ from the path, renaming to win32.dll http://pastebin.com/aqekRRt6 | 21:05 |

| pfifo | mad1, yeah thats why they make kits | 21:06 |

| ubuntu_ | Hey guys, I want to install Ubuntu, I just had Fedora installed... it created a LVM to install to... GParted says it doesn't support LVM's, does that mean I can't delete it to install Ubuntu? | 21:10 |
| Calif | Why does ubuntu leave a running pid for things like Nano? I close out using something like cntl z, and then ps aux shows it still has a pid assigned. Why is that? | 21:10 |
| KSHawkEye | erUSUL: Thanks, that did it. Where did you learn that? I would like to know how it works | 21:10 |
| erUSUL | Calif: ctrl + z does not quit | 21:11 |
| Calif | Is it just a suspend then? | 21:11 |
| erUSUL | Calif: crtl + z only stops the app | 21:11 |
| quentusrex | Anyone familiar with an issue involving dhcp failure to come up on boot? The fix for me has been to manually restart networking with 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' | 21:11 |
| pfifo | Calif, ctrl+zis a suspend, not a close, you want ctrl+c | 21:11 |
| erUSUL | KSHawkEye: the topic in #bash in this network is a fantastic resource | 21:11 |
| Calif | k | 21:11 |

| intick | help plz i would like to declare 2 paths in one variable how can i do that ? | 21:12 |
| pfifo | Calif, fg and bg are used to pull it back out of suspend | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | Calif: if you are in nano use crtl + x to exit the app | 21:12 |
| ubuntu_ | anyone? | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | intick: iin shell ? use an array | 21:12 |
| intick | erUSUL: for shell use, like taht for i in *.JPG *.JPEG; | 21:13 |
| Haitham | Still not working. My laptop's keyboard doesn't function while testing Ubuntu or during installation. Any ideas? | 21:13 |
| pfifo | ubuntu_, you should be able to delete it using standard methods | 21:13 |
| erUSUL | intick: paths=( /path/to/somwhere1 /path/to/somwhere2 ) | 21:13 |
| erUSUL | intick: *.JPG is a glob not a path | 21:13 |
| Calif | ok, cntl c didn't work, it just brings up a menu saying something about columns etc, I saw ^X is exit, would that also accomplish it? | 21:14 |
| ubuntu_ | pfifo, so I can just format it to ext4 and install Ubuntu in there? | 21:14 |
| pfifo | Calif, for nano yes | 21:14 |
| Calif | o | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | Calif: as i already told you; yes | 21:14 |
| Calif | ah | 21:14 |
| intick | erUSUL: ok sorry then it's glob taht i want in my var | 21:14 |
| Calif | Sorry I just saw that | 21:14 |
| Calif | Is it possible to kill all the things running in nano at the same time, as opposed to typing kill pid for each pid? | 21:14 |
| pfifo | ubuntu, yeah fdisk mke2fs and such shold all be fine if you dont care about the data and such | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | intick: why would you want the glob in a var? do you want the glob or the result of expanding the glob ? | 21:14 |
| pfifo | ubuntu_, | 21:15 |
| erUSUL | Calif: « pkill nano » ? | 21:15 |
| KSHawkEye | erUSUL: Shoot, I actually make a mistake, is there any easy way to change that command to make it rename to filename-1.dll, from filename-1.2.3.dll ? (Removing all but the - and first number?) Or do I need to learn something else? | 21:15 |
| ubuntu_ | pfifo, nope, all the data is already backed up, I just want to install Ubuntu, GParted will work with it right? | 21:16 |
| Calif | hmm, I tried that - I then do a 'ps aux | grep nano" and it comes back with a whole list of stuff, all the program names in red, and most are procs I did 'kill xxxx' to before in hopes of ending them | 21:16 |
| pfifo | ubuntu_, if gparted wont delete it use fdisk | 21:16 |
| erUSUL | KSHawkEye: maybe using "${f%%.*}" does the trick | 21:16 |
| intick | erUSUL: i would like to use "convert" to resize my pictures, somtimes i may have JPEG or PNG files my script works for one extension but can make it working for JPEG, JPG ect ... | 21:16 |

| erUSUL | Calif: no | 21:18 |
| Calif | if it shows up still doing ps aux | 21:18 |
| Calif | grep nano | 21:18 |
| Calif | does that indicate its still running? | 21:18 |
| pfifo | Calif, try `sudo killall -9 nano` | 21:18 |
| erUSUL | Calif: dunno; what is the status? it may be zombie | 21:19 |

| KINGOFSWORDS | how do i partition space on hdd when no unallocated space | 22:08 |
| edbian | KINGOFSWORDS: You can shrink the partitions that are there to create unallocated space. | 22:08 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, gparted will allow you to resize the existing partition(s) | 22:09 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | ok | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | if your hard drive is totally 100% full.. well... | 22:09 |
| edbian | KINGOFSWORDS: You probably have to use a live CD | 22:09 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | how do i shrink edbian | 22:09 |
| edbian | KINGOFSWORDS: click the partition in gparted. choose resize. | 22:09 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i have gparted installed thou | 22:09 |
| minimec | wonderstar: That driver might help. It's the official HP Driver http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/officejet/officejet_pro_8500_a909g.html | 22:10 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, just a heads up, resizing can take a very long time, you might want to consider doing it overnight | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | gparted lets you resize partitons and so on. the task can take some time.. and Hope you have backups in case you have a power failure while its workingf | 22:10 |
| edbian | KINGOFSWORDS: yeah but you can't edit partitions like / (or any partition that is mounted) | 22:10 |
| itaylor57 | KM0201: o/ | 22:10 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | well i was up all nite trying to get gta4 on wine so couple more days wont harm | 22:10 |
| wonderstar | thanx minimec | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | I resized a 3TB partitioon into a 2TB and 1TB - took it several hrs... | 22:10 |
| Dr_Willis | as in 8+ hrs. | 22:10 |
| _jay | Diamondcite: ath5k | 22:11 |
| edbian | It takes a long time if you're actually moving data. | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | perhaps more. I dident pay attention to when it got dine. | 22:11 |
| minimec | wonderstar: there is a package in the repo too... http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=hplip&suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names | 22:11 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | but i onlyhave 1 hdd..so does that mean i cant shrink it? | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: meand you need to be carefull.. | 22:11 |
| edbian | KINGOFSWORDS: It means you need to use a live CD | 22:11 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | ok | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: live cd makes it a lot easier | 22:11 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | do i click on gparted in live cd or installed version | 22:11 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, the livecd is pretty much required for your case | 22:12 |
| Dr_Willis | theres also more updated 'gparted live cd's out there that are not ubuntu. but may be faster in some cases. | 22:12 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | so what do i do now...gparted wont let me unmount | 22:12 |
| edbian | KINGOFSWORDS: in the live CD | 22:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres no point in using a full live desktop if you are just going to run gparted. | 22:12 |
| edbian | KINGOFSWORDS: use a live CD! | 22:12 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | reboot? | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: you are on a LIVE cd now? If not.. get one.. | 22:13 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | erm | 22:13 |
| edbian | You can't unmount some partitions. Like / for example. You have to use a live CD to resize | 22:13 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | u mean installation cd of ubuntu | 22:13 |
| edbian | KINGOFSWORDS: yes | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: or a gparted live cd, or any other live cd that has gparted. | 22:14 |
| Dr_Willis | is gparted on the default ubuntu live cd? ive never noticed. | 22:14 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i have my ubuntu cd in drive | 22:14 |
| edbian | Dr_Willis: yes | 22:14 |
| KSHawkEye | Is there a way to clear the path valuables I exported, without closing the terminal? | 22:14 |
| pfifo | yes | 22:14 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | so do i have to reboot and go into install menu? | 22:14 |
| pfifo | KSHawkEye, unset i think | 22:14 |
| Dr_Willis | KSHawkEye: huh? reexport the path to be how you want it. | 22:14 |
| Dr_Willis | KSHawkEye: unless you want PATH to be empty.. :) | 22:15 |
| Dr_Willis | export PATH='new/path:here/there' | 22:15 |
| edbian | KINGOFSWORDS: Are you running a live CD right now? | 22:15 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, no dont do the install, just boot livecd and start irc and gparted | 22:15 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | 2 secs | 22:15 |
| KSHawkEye | Dr_Willis: How about the pkg_config_path? If I export another one, does that overwrite any others? | 22:15 |
| Lazure | is there a reason why my MODERN DAY laptop with an i5 430m and 1GB nvidia GTS 360M graphics cannot boot any modern ubuntu livecd? | 22:17 |
| Lazure | it displays the startup logo, then i get a corrupted screen and it freezes there | 22:17 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | do i start gparted from live cd or my installed ver | 22:17 |
| edbian | Lazure: There is probably a hardware error. Bad ram, bad hdd, something | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | KSHawkEye: a variable is not written to some file.. its for that shell. | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: boot lice cd.. use gparted from cd... | 22:17 |
| edbian | Lazure: Also, try 'nomodeset' | 22:17 |
| Lazure | edbian > i can boot it if i use nomodeset, but then i'm stuck with ancient 2D-only graphics in very low res | 22:18 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | ok i cant find it on cd | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: you dont even access the installed system. that would mount it. | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: open terminal run 'gparted' | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: open terminal run 'sudo gparted' | 22:18 |
| erUSUL | Lazure: is using the optimus thing? automatic switching between then integrated intel and the nvidia card? | 22:18 |
| Lazure | and if i install via wubi, and install the nvidia drivers.. i can boot it with full res, but the BOOT LOGO is text-only and i cannot make it use plymouth ever. | 22:18 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | livecd>pool>main>g no gparted there | 22:18 |
| _jay | any recommendations for calibrating a macbook 1.1 monitor? | 22:18 |
| erUSUL | Lazure: disable it and use only the intel integrated card | 22:18 |
| Lazure | erUSUL > no clue, but my BIOS has no option to disable the intel gpu on the i5 | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Lazure: plymouth and nvidia drivers dont like each other.. i just disable plymouth. | 22:18 |
| edbian | Lazure: Sounds like a driver issue. There are multiple drivers for nvidia. It's a matter of finding the one that is right. | 22:18 |
| KSHawkEye | Dr_Willis: Right, but as far as I know there is only one pkg_config_path and if I export another I need to know if that will replace the previously exported one | 22:18 |
| Lazure | i use the one that shows up in restrictred drivers manager | 22:18 |
| Lazure | the automatic one. compiz, etc will work fine but i get a horrible text-only bootup | 22:19 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | ok done that..now right click and unmount? | 22:19 |
| Lazure | =/ | 22:19 |
| edbian | Lazure: There are many: | 22:19 |
| Lazure | and livecds can't be used properly | 22:19 |
| edbian | Lazure: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nvidia&searchon=names&suite=maverick§ion=all | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Lazure: I have to use the nomodeset option for most allof my nvidia cards on the live cds | 22:19 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, if its mounted unmount it, it wont let you work with it mounted | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Plymouth is such a pain for very little gain. | 22:19 |
| erUSUL | Lazure: afaics nvidia drivers == text boot up. as Dr_Willis says playmouth does not work with nvidia priv drivers | 22:20 |
| Lazure | Dr_Willis > yet it's the default boot splash now, and without it you get a horrible one? | 22:20 |
| intick | erUSUL: ah works fine for me now, maybe because i double clic it, but befor i used sh my_script it can be th reason why my script outputs erros | 22:20 |
| edbian | Lazure: Just don't shut down | 22:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Lazure: i perfer the Text Based boot screen.. | 22:20 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | wont let me unmount | 22:20 |
| erUSUL | intick: that's because sh is not bash | 22:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Lazure: the animation - is totally useless eye candy | 22:20 |
| Lazure | Dr_Willis > but it feels so backwards. older versions of ubuntu had animating, nice looking logos before they used plymouth | 22:20 |
| Dr_Willis | intick: #!/bin/bash at the start of scropts | 22:20 |
| krejinator | I just installed Ubuntu Server in a virtual machine and I'm trying to run a django development server in it. I can access the default apache server on port 80 in my browser but I can't access the django server on port 8000. Does anyone know why this would be happening | 22:20 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, either you are not running gparted as root, or you are not running a livecd | 22:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Lazure: i disabled those also... | 22:20 |
| Lazure | now it's text only, on a high end system, on a modern version of linux-- but it looks like ancient garbage =| | 22:20 |
| erUSUL | intick: either use bash script or ./script with the correct sheebang | 22:21 |
| Lazure | i can't stand using things as if it is the 90s | 22:21 |
| Lazure | i like the eye candy | 22:21 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | how do i run livecd | 22:21 |
| edbian | Lazure: cli is not garbage! | 22:21 |
| * erUSUL likes text only boot | 22:21 | |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i just opened the filebrowser | 22:21 |
| spid3rnet | hi how to make my console move in 3d | 22:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Lazure: when i get 10 sec boot times and 10month uptimes.. i dont care about the boot splash. | 22:21 |
| intick | erUSUL: :D that explain my fails ! i was confused, you were very helpful thx guys | 22:21 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, generally you put it in your cdrom and reboot your computer, and then perhaps press a key to boot from a cd | 22:21 |
| erUSUL | intick: no problem; FYI in ubuntu sh is dash | 22:21 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | ahhh | 22:21 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i thought someone said not to reboot...i know what u mean now | 22:22 |
| === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC | ||
| KINGOFSWORDS | so i wont be able to come back into irc until ive finsihed partition? | 22:22 |
| intick | erUSUL: thx | 22:22 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, the ubuntu live install cd has xchat irc and irssi available | 22:23 |
| wonderstar | thanx minimec but i'll try first one first. | 22:23 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | so basicly when gparted is open i select partition and right click>unmount then resize and choose size for partition then wait until done | 22:23 |
| MetaJake | why will Ubuntu not recognize any free partition on Dell Inpsiron laptop? How do I make one? | 22:23 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | pfifo i cant connect to net without installing a modeswitch .deb so prob wont be able to come back anyway | 22:24 |
| Chzz | 32 or 64 bit? I've got an i5 PC, using 64 bit windoze. The download screen for ubuntu says '32 bit (recommended)' but also has 64. So... why should/shouldn't I choose 64? | 22:24 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | once partition is done cani boot back into ubuntu to read tutorial..or do i have to install windows 7 first? | 22:25 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, the gui is pretty easy to use, it will let you just type in how many GB/MB you want at the end or beginning, you can aldo drag the image around too | 22:25 |
| edbian | Chzz: If you have 64bit hardware you should use 64bit OS. Ignore that little 'recommendation' | 22:25 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | ok | 22:25 |
| erUSUL | Chzz: no reason; choose 64 bits | 22:25 |
| Chzz | conflicting info :-) erm. It's a brand-new PC, BTW, so yes - all 64 bit etc. | 22:25 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | actually i can get on irc and web on my other laptop | 22:25 |
| === jh_ is now known as Guest13372 | ||
| Chzz | ok. 64. thanks | 22:26 |
| edbian | Chzz: yep :) | 22:26 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | brb thx for help guys | 22:26 |
| === travis__ is now known as Afteraffekt | ||
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, you should be able to boot to ubuntu afterwards if everything went according to plan | 22:26 |
| Dr_Willis | windows 7 likes to have 2+ partitions of its own.. :() | 22:27 |
| jozefk | is there some way to put system monitor to the panel in unity, just like it was simple and easy to do in gnome? | 22:27 |
| jozefk | and what is this unity all about? is this gnome or where is it coming from? | 22:28 |
| erUSUL | jozefk: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 22:28 |
| jozefk | ok | 22:28 |
| erUSUL | jozefk: is an ubuntu development | 22:28 |
| pfifo | Dr_Willis, ive never had that problem | 22:28 |
| edbian | jozefk: Ubuntu people wrote it instead of using gnome3 | 22:28 |
| jozefk | what's wrong with gnome 3? | 22:29 |
| edbian | jozefk: That's opinion. The Ubuntu developers didn't like it. I don't really know the details of their opinions | 22:29 |
| edbian | gnome3 is much different | 22:29 |
| brontosaurusrex | jozefk, yeah, and what was wrong with dolby b? ;) | 22:29 |
| jozefk | gnome is gnome. even this unity is very much similar to gnome. only some small changes. replacements and like that | 22:30 |
| phoenixsampras | lies, Unity = Gnome | 22:30 |
| edbian | jozefk: well they all use gtk but they are different from each other you can't deny that. You can use gnome3 if you want on natty | 22:31 |
| * pfifo prepares to see a gunbuntu come out | 22:31 | |
| edbian | hahahaha | 22:31 |
| edbian | gunbuntu... | 22:31 |
| pfifo | of all things | 22:31 |
| Evildaemon | GNUbuntu? | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | pfifo: already anounced ... | 22:31 |
| pfifo | HA! | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | Evildaemon: GNUbuntu == gnewsense | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | pfifo: last win7 machine i looked at - was allready using 4 primary partitions. for boot/main/rescue/data - had to delete one even to hasve a place to put linux. :() | 22:32 |
| Evildaemon | I was kind of kidding........... | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Moobuntu - with Cow themes. | 22:32 |
| edbian | we're talking about gubuntu (ubuntu with gnome3) not gnubuntu (GNU buntu) | 22:32 |

| guntbert | sudipta: probably better results in #kubuntu | 22:35 |

| raido | OT? This channel is OT 90% of the time with questions about partitioning and dual booting and fixing the MBR so Windowns boots. Technicaly thats all OT too. | 22:39 |
| swatto | Is there a way to make xchat remember all the history in the channel chat - or increase it? | 22:39 |
| Afteraffekt | The channel he pointed me to states for me to come here in the topic lol | 22:39 |

| pfifo | Microman171, ive had alot of luck with ext2 drivers fr windows | 22:41 |

| KINGOFSWORDS | hi im back on differnt pc | 22:41 |
| Microman171 | erUSUL: That's going to make things a whole lot easier :-) | 22:41 |
| pfifo | Microman171, yeah they support 2/3 but not 4 | 22:41 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | my live cd doesnt have option to try ubuntu..,only instal | 22:41 |
| fach | Hello friends. | 22:42 |
| Microman171 | pfifo: I will look into that too, because using the whole hard drive from ubuntu would be a good thing | 22:42 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, what happens when it starts? | 22:42 |
| guntbert | KINGOFSWORDS: then it might not be the live CD but the alternate one | 22:43 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | the insttall screen comes up and has options | 22:43 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | uhhh yeh its alternate | 22:44 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | whats difference...i thought it just meant alternate server | 22:44 |
| guntbert | !alternate | KINGOFSWORDS | 22:44 |
| ubottu | KINGOFSWORDS: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 22:44 |
| fach | Guys, I have a question about the repository.... I'm programmer and I'd like to create a text-based game (MUD style but single player).... Theres anyway to send the game (source code) to canonical and maybe put my program in the oficcial repository (if its enought good for it)??? | 22:45 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, thats not going to have gparted on it, you should get ubuntu 10.10 livecd preferably or any livecd you fell comfortable with and has gparted | 22:45 |
| pfifo | fach, you can atleast create your own ppa for it | 22:45 |
| erUSUL | fach: you may package it yourself and set up your own ppa; later you can ask it to be included? | 22:46 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | lol nah i think im done with linux m8...spent way too much time on it...3rd version installed | 22:46 |
| erUSUL | fach: ask in #ubuntu-packaging and #ubuntu-motu | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: it pays to do your reserach first.. have fun. | 22:46 |
| fach | thank you | 22:46 |
| perlmonkey | how do i find out the name of the version of ubuntu I'm running? | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: with a live cd and a flash drive.. you basically dont even need to install you can run from flash. | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | perlmonkey: lsb_release -a i think | 22:47 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | can i not just use another livecd of a older version of ubuntu | 22:47 |
| perlmonkey | Dr_Willis many thanks | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: any live cd with gparted should work. | 22:47 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | it wouldnt install from usb dr | 22:47 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: theres a specilized 'gparted live cd' thats basically only runx gparted and a few other tools. its like a 100mb download. | 22:47 |

| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: you can Install TO a usb flash drive. and use it from there. if the Flash is big enough. :) 8gb+ | 22:48 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, if it has gparted YES | 22:48 |
| schendje | running 'calcurse' again in a new window brings up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/594978/ | 22:48 |
| IanWizard | Is there a way to redirect an already running programs output to a different tty? like something running in gnome-terminal -> tty2? | 22:48 |
| fach | erUSUL: where can I later "ask to be included"? whats the channel/mail/etc to ask it? | 22:48 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i have karmic on cd can i use the gparted from that even thou im on lucid? | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | IanWizard: that feature is one of the many reasons to use 'screen' | 22:49 |
| Eliezer | is there a monitor mode driver for Acer Wlan card Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 22:49 |
| IanWizard | without having access to the terminal that it's running on? | 22:49 |

| KINGOFSWORDS | great | 22:49 |
| IanWizard | Dr_Willis, man screen I suppose? | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | IanWizard: install screen first. :) | 22:49 |
| IanWizard | Dr_Willis, ok, :P Thanks | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | IanWizard: and you normally start screen first. :) whjat you are asking.. isent going to be doable in most cases. UNLESS you are using screen | 22:49 |
| Dr_Willis | IanWizard: or tmux, or byobu (a screen variant/setup) | 22:50 |
| pfifo | Eliezer, yes ive done airocrack and such no problems on my eeepc 701, it only worked in 802.11b mode however | 22:50 |

| fach | thank you, thank you. | 22:50 |
| Eliezer | pfifo:) will it work for me ? | 22:50 |
| IanWizard | Dr_Willis, a compile job is running on a terminal, but there's a bug with the terminal app, so occasionally it stops redrawing, so I have no way to see the compilers output. | 22:51 |
| PFA | sup homesez | 22:51 |
| erUSUL | IanWizard: use another terminal emulator | 22:51 |
| pfifo | Eliezer, there is an airocrack based livecd out there that i was using, had everything i needed | 22:51 |

| === awol is now known as Guest55096 | ||

| Eliezer | pfifo:) i got into this problem using an application http://pastebin.com/bmYtT6FY | 22:53 |
| IanWizard | Dr_Willis, what's it do? | 22:53 |
| Dr_Willis | IanWizard: redraws tje screen in many apps | 22:54 |
| phoenixsampras | can somebody remind how to ssh without login eveytime? | 22:54 |
| nmpribeiro | apt-get install (any deb package) Err http://archive.ubuntu.com/****:80 failed. Too many open files -> Never saw this one.... nor been able to google this problem. | 22:54 |
| Dr_Willis | IanWizard: like vi, or mc, or many other apps.. | 22:54 |
| Nick_Meister | but its using 80% of my cpu at all times | 22:54 |
| Dr_Willis | phoenixsampras: i do a ssh-copy-id remotebox then dont need to use pass's | 22:54 |
| Sivik | what am I doing wrong when ubuntu grub will not pick up my windows install on a different hd? | 22:54 |
| pfifo | Eliezer, ath5k isnt the right driver, and you have to completly shutdown wireless to use airocrack | 22:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: Unitin in 10.10 has issues.. its been revamped in 11.04 | 22:54 |
| Guest55096 | I can only see the icons on the side for a second when something opens | 22:55 |
| phoenixsampras | Dr_Willis: what about ssh menu? | 22:55 |
| Nick_Meister | Dr_Willis, should i install 11.04 even though its beta then? | 22:55 |
| Dr_Willis | phoenixsampras: what about it? | 22:55 |
| Guest55096 | and can't open the other menus | 22:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: or wait a few days for it to get released... | 22:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest55096: no idwea what you mean by ssh menu. | 22:55 |
| Nick_Meister | Dr_Willis, is there any way to update it to release when i install the beta?? | 22:56 |
| Guest55096 | like where you get to apps and prefernces | 22:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: thats how the package manager works. :) or can work.. | 22:56 |
| Sivik | Dr_Willis, you know any thing on why ubuntu grub is not seeing my windows installed on a different drive/partition? | 22:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Sivik: i see that asked in here often enough. thsat i bet theres a HUGE forum thread on that topic. | 22:56 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | helliujah praise the lord | 22:56 |
| Nick_Meister | Dr_Willis, im not sure i follow, i dont want to reinstall everything :S | 22:56 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | got it working | 22:56 |
| Sivik | Dr_Willis, alright. | 22:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: updateing is basically reinstalling everything.. keeping your settings.. | 22:56 |
| Nick_Meister | Dr_Willis, also i dont think alt+f2 works in the remix | 22:57 |
| guntbert | !yay | KINGOFSWORDS | 22:57 |
| ubottu | KINGOFSWORDS: Glad you made it! :-) | 22:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: Unity in 10.x has issues.. its been a major (if not THE major) improbement in 11.04 | 22:57 |
| Dr_Willis | alt-f2 works in 11.04 | 22:57 |
| phoenixsampras | KINGOFSWORDS: what did you acomplish? | 22:57 |
| Eliezer | pfifo:) jumm using this app is no so simple like i see on hows to online | 22:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: if you want to try 11.04 then go for it.. file bug reports on bugs you find. :) but dont expect it to be Problem free. | 22:58 |
| pfifo | Eliezer, as with most task the more you know about what your doing the easier it becomes | 22:58 |

| Haitham | Guys, what can I do to get my laptop's keyboard working during Ubuntu installation or even while trying it out? | 22:58 |
| Haitham | It\s totally down (the keyboard) | 22:59 |
| Nick_Meister | Dr_Willis, i had bad experience with 11 on my desktop with binary nvidia drivers, it was incredibly slow on the unity | 22:59 |
| ossified | ls | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Haitham: check the bios. seeif theres a usb-legacgy device setting you can try to change | 22:59 |
| biggsjm | Nick_Meister I've been using beta1 and beta2 since they came out, and everything works great for me | 22:59 |
| Nick_Meister | Dr_Willis, even though i have very high specs on it but i also have 2 above HD monitors running in twin view | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: never noticed. but thats whats beta testing is all about.. | 22:59 |
| guntbert | Haitham: does it work with other distros? (like knoppix, suse,....) | 22:59 |
| Haitham | Dr_Willis: USB? I'm not using an USB Keyboard rather built-in laptop keys | 23:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Unity is really not ideal for dual monitor. setups i noticed. | 23:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Haitham: it may be using the USB ports built in.. | 23:00 |
| Nick_Meister | Dr_Willis, yah, i have 2 very high resolution monitors so my virtual desktop is around 5k so my unity is grinding to a complete halt and unusable | 23:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Haitham: also - does a usb keyboard work? that would be an interesting test. | 23:00 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | how much space does ubuntu install take up? ihave 128meg hdd but says i only have 114.36meg | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: and you have a nice little easy to get to panel on the far far far left side.. :) | 23:01 |
| Haitham | I don't have any external keyboards at the moment, thought about it though. | 23:01 |
| Nick_Meister | is it not hardware accelerated or something??? | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: 128mb or 128GB ? | 23:01 |
| Haitham | guntbert: haven't tried yet, but I got Knoppix (live CD) burnt | 23:01 |
| Haitham | I'll give it a test | 23:01 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | 128gb | 23:01 |
| === uncle|sam is now known as Uncle|Sam | ||
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, ubuntu is usually pretty happy with 4, but you said you had gta4 installed so it may be alot larger | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: i would give ubuntu at least 20gb for using it.. depemnds on your needs. | 23:02 |
| === root is now known as Guest96038 | ||
| Nick_Meister | Dr_Willis, :( if it comes out in a few days and it's still slow its going to break my heart | 23:02 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | 4 gb installed? | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: file bug reports i guess. or install lubuntu :) | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | KINGOFSWORDS: at a min. 4gb installed.. and thats with like no space to do any actual work. | 23:02 |
| Haitham | Anyway Dr_Willis - How can I check BIOS for this USB-Blockage thing? | 23:02 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, yeah, thats what it needs, you have GBs to spage so you can give it plenty more | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Haitham: go to your bios settings and look for it. | 23:03 |
| Nick_Meister | Dr_Willis, whats sad is that i have a 3.4gh quad core amd with geforce 9800 that can run two games at the same time maxed out, and yet unity is barely able to do anything | 23:03 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i gave unallocated 35gb | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: cant say that i nticed it bneing slow on my 8800gtsxxx but i am only on a single monitor | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Nick_Meister: that thing might be able to actually run Crysis2 :) in low res! | 23:04 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, that should suffice, if you really needed to you could always run gparted again to install blackops or something | 23:04 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | ok gparted finished....shall i save file or just close? | 23:04 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, you have to save and then apply | 23:05 |
| Haitham | Another question - I'm going for Advanced Partioning - I want to leave some unpartitioned space for Windows later on - how much Space / how many partitions should I create for Ubuntu to run smoothly? | 23:05 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | but where do i save to? | 23:05 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | its livecd | 23:05 |
| Nick_Meister | Dr_Willis, im not very interested in those games, i play either mmos or co-op type things like l4d | 23:05 |
| Nick_Meister | but mostly i use ubuntu for development | 23:05 |
| Edwisoca | hola | 23:06 |
| TheBuntu | whats ubuntu use.....could not read dvd..this may be because the DVD is encrypted and the DVD encryption library in not installed...... cant find libdvdcss | 23:06 |

| Nick_Meister | which is not bueno when i cant move windows without a 10 second lag | 23:06 |

| bozotheclown | all my results were for something else | 23:14 |
| pfifo | MetaJake, windows may be ussing dynamic disks, check in windows to see if this is the case, if so, linux will not be able to modify the partitions | 23:14 |

| optidude | pfifo: no, i burn the iso onto a cd and booted it | 23:35 |
| Khisanth | that sounds like you overwrote the vista install | 23:36 |
| optidude | it gave me an option to use same partition or create another...and ofcourse i said same...LOL | 23:36 |
| optidude | hmmmm | 23:36 |
| optidude | khisanth: really | 23:36 |
| shield | yeah that sounds like you over wrote the windows install | 23:36 |
| optidude | no way to load back into vista | 23:36 |
| optidude | darn | 23:36 |
| optidude | i can reformat to win 7 anyway....lol | 23:36 |
| pfifo | SMG1, i dont think you can build binutils with -O2, but i cannot see the actual compilation command you used | 23:36 |
| shield | that | 23:37 |
| Khisanth | well I haven't looked at the installer screens recently | 23:37 |
| gimpy1382 | I installed a second network card in a 10.04 box and now the first one won't even get a link light. Tried swapping cables and such but only the second card gets anything. Any ideas? | 23:37 |
| shield | is a plus lol | 23:37 |
| optidude | i like ubuntu, but i wanted both | 23:37 |
| Khisanth | it could possibly be smart enough to do it without | 23:37 |
| pfifo | optidude, it sounds like you deleted vist and over wrote it with ubuntu | 23:37 |
| Khisanth | but in the overwrite case there should have been a warning screen about erasing existing data | 23:37 |
| optidude | darn | 23:37 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | can i share things from a ubuntu partition to a windows one? | 23:37 |
| optidude | hmmmmm, must have missed the warning.... :-( | 23:37 |
| optidude | oh well, cuase i cant bring up vista even with a recovery disk for laptop...LOL | 23:38 |
| shield | but for dual boot you wont have to format | 23:38 |
| optidude | its like its not there | 23:38 |

| pfifo | SMG1, yeah thats definatly wrong | 23:39 |
| optidude | got a win 7 question..... | 23:39 |
| shield | Yeah i just formatted my XPS M1730 and put 10.10 on it. The only down point I have is that my battery runs out very fast. | 23:39 |
| SMG1 | pfifo:how would i do it? | 23:39 |
| optidude | do you think win 7 will run a dual core 1.8ghz lap top with 2gigs of ram? | 23:40 |
| optidude | and built on x3100 intel card | 23:40 |
| shield | optidude - Yeah it should | 23:40 |
| shield | it's not like vista where you needed a monster machine to get it to run normally | 23:40 |
| Heylookitsbret | i get awsome battery life on an acer aspire one, my computer ran for 9 hours before telling me i needed to charge it | 23:40 |
| pfifo | MetaJake, You dont seem to ave a valid partiton table, most likely it is windows doing something non-standard. You would probbally have to completly format that hard drive and reinstall windows, and then install liinux. | 23:40 |
| zhehao | optitude - I have a Dell XPS too and it also has shitty battery life. | 23:41 |
| shield | heylookitsbret - yeah my Asus Eee PC 1005PE runs like 14 hours with netbook remix on it | 23:41 |
| zhehao | sorry, I meant @shield | 23:41 |
| MetaJake | pfifo, might it be possible to reformat the hard drive. and then install Ubuntu, and then NOT install windows? : ) ... if so... how do you suggest I begin reformatting my harddrive ? | 23:41 |
| pfifo | SMG1, building binutils is not a newby task thats why the makers of binutils wont help people, you really need a good reason to be doing this, what is your intention here? | 23:41 |
| optidude | hmmmm | 23:42 |
| shield | I dunno if it's an issue with the battery cause i've had my system for at least 3 years. | 23:42 |
| optidude | so you think it will run fine on here? | 23:42 |
| optidude | becuase I was tired of how slow vista was | 23:42 |
| pfifo | MetaJake, fdisk /dev/sda, new partition table, new partition. | 23:42 |
| zvacet | MetaJake: back up all files you need and during installation delete windows and give ubuntu 3partitions | 23:42 |
| Quentin | Morning, all. I've just built a new computer and am struggling to get the video cards going properly. I'd like Ubuntu to use my onboard video, and also install drivers for my GTX560 but not default to this. Any suggestions ? I'm currently running at 800x600... | 23:43 |
| zvacet | MetaJake: root ~10gb swap ~2 and rest for home | 23:43 |
| tawan | I can see no reason to have Ubuntu over more than one partition (plus swap) these days | 23:43 |
| aaron_wayne | can someone tell me how to get rid of this, apt-get remove does not work and its says i dont have access to move to trash in the search files http://imagebin.org/148578 | 23:43 |
| shield | optidude - it should be. I run win 7 pro on a dual core 2.9ghz with 4 gigs of ram, and no problems. win 7 ran great on my netbook with only 1 gig of ram | 23:43 |
| Heylookitsbret | i enabled the Ipv4 tab to share with other computers, but my ps3 is not connecting what else do i need to do to create a bridge from a wireless adapter to ethernet port? | 23:43 |
| SMG1 | pfifo:im trying to build gnome-shell and while its building glib, it gives the exact error that i get with binutil, so fixing whatever is causing binutil might fix glib problem | 23:43 |
| zvacet | tawan: it is good to have separate home | 23:43 |
| IdleOne | !windows | optidude shield | 23:43 |
| ubottu | optidude shield: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 23:43 |
| Heylookitsbret | shield: win7 ultimate ran great on my netbook as well, i was suprised | 23:43 |
| MetaJake | zvacet, unfortunetely I do not see an option during installation at any point to delete windows. | 23:44 |
| tawan | zvacet: i don't belive that any more. Come reinstall or anything you just back home up. We all have big backup media now... but if you don't then yes | 23:44 |
| zhehao | MetaJake: If you want to reinstall ubuntu without dual-booting windows, choose "use the entire hard disk" when the installer asks you how you want to set up your hard drive. | 23:44 |
| shield | Heylookitsbret - same here. I even tried xp, and that ran fantastic as well. | 23:45 |
| phoenixsampras | MIC doesnt WORK!!! | 23:45 |
| phoenixsampras | why?? Bug? | 23:45 |
| pfifo | SMG1, you dont want to overwrite the default ubuntu glibc or other binutils stuff, perhaps It would be better to try to solve gnome-shell problems directly | 23:45 |
| Skei | Morning, all. I've just built a new computer and am struggling to get the video cards going properly. I'd like Ubuntu to use my onboard video, and also install drivers for my GTX560 but not default to this. Any suggestions ? I'm currently running at 800x600... | 23:45 |
| zvacet | MetaJake: select manual way it should be there | 23:45 |
| optidude | well, thanks soooo much for all your help...off to reformat to win 7 and find out how to do a good dual boot | 23:45 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | do i install upgrade or custom(says it installs a new copy does not keep file) | 23:45 |
| optidude | lol | 23:45 |
| optidude | is there documentation on dual booting both OS's? | 23:46 |
| optidude | should I put 7 on first, then Ubuntu? | 23:46 |
| SMG1 | pfifo:how do i go back to the default binutil version without reformat? | 23:46 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, install or possibly customif your feeling lucky | 23:46 |
| aaron_wayne | any suggestions? | 23:46 |
| Skei | optidude, I'd recommend installing Windows first. It wipes the MBR. If you dump Ubuntu after, you can install grub without issues. | 23:46 |
| zvacet | tawan: why should I back up when I can have separate partition but it is about choice | 23:46 |
| Heylookitsbret | shield: i dont care what people say about netbooks, of course im not playing games on it, but they are great | 23:46 |
| tawan | optidude: put 7 on then the ubuntu installer will smartly deal with it all | 23:46 |
| optidude | skei: what is grub? | 23:46 |
| pfifo | SMG1, you probbally already have it judging by binutils failing to compile | 23:46 |
| Quentin | Whoops. | 23:46 |
| Quentin | optidude, grub allows you to select your OS when you boot | 23:47 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | well other than custom theres only a upgrade which i dont have | 23:47 |
| zvacet | !grub | optidude | 23:47 |
| ubottu | optidude: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 23:47 |
| shield | Skei - if you go under system > Administration > Additional drivers it might give you the option to install drivers for your video card | 23:47 |
| optidude | hmmmm, niiiiiccceee | 23:47 |
| pfifo | KINGOFSWORDS, you definatly arent upgrading | 23:47 |
| shield | Skei - I just did that this morning, and it installed the correct drivers for me | 23:47 |
| optidude | will totally do that | 23:47 |
| optidude | you guys rock | 23:47 |
| tawan | zvacet: yes, choice of course :) I just see the separate home as a dying choice now and added confusion for new users [opinion only] | 23:47 |
| optidude | thanks for all the info | 23:47 |
| Quentin | shield ( Skei here ), I tried but it says there are no drivers to use. | 23:47 |
| Heylookitsbret | optidude: you can boot isos without the disk with grub too | 23:47 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | custom it is...fingers crossed | 23:47 |
| shield | Heylookitsbret - I agree. They are very viable systems for what they are. | 23:47 |
| shield | Quentin - What brand of video card are you using? | 23:48 |
| unomystEz | anyone know how to run a X server and VNC on a server without monitor? | 23:48 |
| optidude | coool | 23:48 |
| Quentin | shield, it's an onboard Intel card, and I have a GTX560 also. | 23:48 |
| SMG1 | pfifo: i was playing with it and build it 2 times the first being version 21 and the other 16, but while i downgraded from version 21 to 16 it only downgraded 1 of the 2 files, that might be my problem | 23:48 |
| zvacet | tawan: if I can do it everybody can ;) | 23:48 |
| gimpy1382 | I installed a second network card in a 10.04 box and now the first one won't even get a link light. Tried swapping cables and such but only the second card gets anything. Any ideas? | 23:48 |
| optidude | heylookitsbret: thanks so much...i will do that.... | 23:48 |
| optidude | thanks so much guys | 23:48 |
| optidude | going to reformat...see ya in a bit | 23:48 |
| shield | good luck | 23:49 |
| optidude | thanks so much | 23:49 |
| SuperPaco69 | hello | 23:49 |
| Heylookitsbret | optidude: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%2520from%2520LiveCD thats what i used | 23:49 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | hey everyone I am trying to install ubunti 10.10 and the live disc can see the hard drive, the installer CANNOT, ideas? | 23:49 |
| pfifo | SMG1, I dont know if you can really reinstall binutils, your systems sounds likeits going to be quickly heading to an unstable state anyway so a reinstall may be unavoidable | 23:49 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | hey everyone I am trying to install ubunti 10.10 and the live disc can see the hard drive, the installer CANNOT, the hard drive is SATA and on a sata controller read as a raid controller, MSI motherboard ideas? | 23:50 |
| tawan | THE_GFR|WORK: can you open gparted on the live CD? | 23:50 |
| zvacet | !md5sum | THE_GFR|WORK | 23:50 |
| ubottu | THE_GFR|WORK: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 23:50 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | tawan: gparted sees it fine | 23:50 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | tawan: thats a yes | 23:50 |
| tawan | THE_GFR|WORK: ok always a good idea to MD5 as above | 23:51 |
| Heylookitsbret | anybody know how to set up a network bridge so dont have to boot into windows to get online on my ps3? | 23:51 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | tawan: this disc works on other machines fine | 23:51 |
| wingnut2626 | hey guys how do i save my state in gfceu? | 23:52 |
| Khisanth | pfifo: actually that should be fine since the package management stuff don't need the binutil aps | 23:52 |
| cntb | !rar | 23:53 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 23:53 |
| Sivik | what is the best way to get ubuntu to pick up a windows install on a gpt harddrive different from the installed drive? | 23:53 |
| Heylookitsbret | ubottu: i know this is irrelevant but is rar, pronounce rare or rawr? | 23:54 |
| cntb | !info unrar-free | 23:54 |
| ubottu | unrar-free (source: unrar-free): Unarchiver for .rar files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:0.0.1+cvs20071127-1 (maverick), package size 21 kB, installed size 108 kB | 23:54 |
| Sivik | Heylookitsbret, rawr | 23:55 |
| Heylookitsbret | i thought so | 23:55 |
| pfifo | Khisanth, Im just not sure about actually reinstalling, as long as he can get default glibc and the default toolchain back, then compiling gnome-shell or anything else shouldn't be a problem. | 23:55 |
| Heylookitsbret | thanks | 23:55 |
| Khisanth | oh he replaced glibc as well? | 23:55 |
| Khisanth | I missed that bit of detail :) | 23:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | pfifo, are you sure about that? I heard gnome-shell was broken on Ubuntu, due to some bug... | 23:55 |
| nickleboyblue | Question: does anyone know how to get moonlight working? | 23:56 |
| pfifo | Khisanth, yes, i personally dont know what all is non-standard but a fresh install will satisfy my worries | 23:56 |
| Quentin | Any ideas on how to get both the onboard and the NVIDIA video cards working ? Thank you. | 23:57 |
| pfifo | ZykoticK9, i think its a bug in gcc4.4 i had some serious issues installing a cross compiler, but until i see the error or bug repot i cant say for sure | 23:57 |
| THE_GFR|WORK | hey everyone I am trying to install ubunti 10.10 and the live disc can see the hard drive, the installer CANNOT, the hard drive is SATA and on a sata controller read as a raid controller, MSI motherboard ideas? | 23:58 |
| rypervenche | How might I change a text file of hexidecimal into Chinese characters using Ubuntu 10.10? | 23:58 |
| zvacet | nickleboyblue : does http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/how-to-moonlight/ helps? | 23:58 |
| Khisanth | pfifo: personally I wouldn't have overwritten the system libs :) | 23:58 |
| sylon | hi can someone help me with PPA key please? i get a nasty error like : GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C81A926CB056DD89 | 23:59 |
| Khisanth | most things default to /usr/local too ... | 23:59 |
