|---|---|---|
| schnuffle | xstarslayer: you need it to manage patches? | 00:00 |
| xstarslayer | Yeah | 00:00 |
| xstarslayer | though diamond gave me the download links | 00:00 |
| schnuffle | xstarslayer: then it's the correct howto :) | 00:00 |
| xstarslayer | installed them all | 00:00 |
| xstarslayer | oh well, thanks ;) | 00:01 |
| domenico | ciao | 00:01 |

| dusf | ActionParsnip: it's a brand new 10.10 ubuntu install | 00:02 |
| dusf | so then this must be the norm? | 00:02 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: although on my old 10.10 install, earlier today, it auto mounted CDs, although it might ask me to confirm, it at least prompted me in the GUI | 00:03 |
| dusf | "How would you like to handle this disc" etc | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: if it won't do it automagically then you'll need to do it manually | 00:04 |
| schnuffle | dusf: is your user in the cdrom group? | 00:04 |
| dusf | schnuffle: i reinstalled with the same username as was on the previous 10.10 install | 00:04 |
| dusf | schnuffle: checking users now... | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | dusf: maybe it cannot work out the data so isn't popping it up | 00:05 |
| konam | ActionParsnip thanks it worked! | 00:06 |

| econ | can anyone help me get my usb wifi card working with ubuntu server. Everything I've found online uses the iwconfig or iwlist command, which I don't have. I can't install it because I can't connect to the internet | 00:06 |
| dusf | schnuffle: i am the only user in the group cdrom | 00:06 |
| mcurran | what type of entry can I add to sudoers to make my username equal to root | 00:06 |
| sa_ | im having trouble installing the wireless drivers for my ubuntu dual os boot w/ preinstalled vista on my hp dv6000. I used wubi to install ubuntu 10.10 | 00:07 |
| schnuffle | mcurran: username ALL=(ALL) ALL | 00:07 |
| dusf | ActionParsnip: jsut tried a ubuntu 10.10 cd in the drive, not reading it either :( | 00:07 |
| mcurran | tried that, doesn't work | 00:08 |
| xstarslayer | scnuffle don't even know what that means but ok o.o | 00:08 |
| sa_ | HELLO? | 00:08 |
| ArchGT | if I dd a natty iso to my sd card will it boot? | 00:08 |
| schnuffle | mcurran: what does that mean? the line I pasted means you can use sudo to run programs with root rights | 00:09 |
| schnuffle | xstarslayer: okay, you installed quilt for some purpose, which purpose? | 00:09 |
| mcurran | I want my permissions and everything modified to also be under the same. I still have to use sudo to open programs like apt, etc. | 00:09 |
| sa_ | HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO? | 00:10 |
| shcherbak | Hi. | 00:10 |
| j_anon1 | I'm having the same problem as this guy: http://osdir.com/ml/gedit-list/2010-10/msg00007.html (the plugin works perfectly on my ubuntu netbook but not this ubuntu laptop) | 00:10 |
| schnuffle | mcurran: that is a no go, you can use sudo -i to become root | 00:10 |
| mcurran | I want it setup like BackTrack without using root as the username, so I want my username "mcurran" to be completely synonimous with root. | 00:10 |
| schnuffle | mcurran: you're sure you know what you do? give your user the uid/gid 0/0 but that is a very bad advice and you should really know what you 're doing | 00:12 |
| plouffe | it's just computers | 00:12 |
| mcurran | I know what I'm doing and I know the security risks | 00:12 |
| mcurran | how though | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ArchGT: use unetbootin or usb-creator | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !noroot | 00:13 |
| ubottu | We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 00:13 |
| ArchGT | ActionParsnip: so the answer is no | 00:13 |
| schnuffle | mcurran: open /etc/passwd and change the uid of your user | 00:13 |
| ArchGT | thanks | 00:13 |
| superMariohardco | hi! why is REISUB not working anymore? | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: it already is, you can use sudo as and when you need power | 00:13 |
| mcurran | there are tutorials online that say "usermod --login mcurran root" will work, but these types require a new unique user and not one that exists already | 00:13 |
| mcurran | I don't want to use sudo anymore, that is my objective | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: then your system will have drastically less security | 00:14 |
| schnuffle | mcurran: can you give a link to the tutorial | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: in fact, near zero | 00:14 |
| schnuffle | mcurran: listen to ActionParsnip | 00:14 |
| mcurran | thank you schnuffle | 00:15 |
| mcurran | this is not windows people, I should be allowed to do whatever I want | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: you can do as you wish, it's just not supported here | 00:15 |
| ts93 | is there someway to connect Blacktrack 4 directly to a usb wifi card? | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | ts93: backtrack isn't supported here | 00:15 |
| mcurran | ActionParsnip you have full permission to attempt to own my box if it's so "insecure" | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !backtrack \ ts93 | 00:15 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | !backtrack | ts93 | 00:16 |
| ubottu | ts93: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 00:16 |
| mcurran | ts93, connect? | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: i have better things to do | 00:16 |
| mcurran | yes you can use unetbootin to create a live usb | 00:16 |
| mcurran | yeah, then don't waste your breathe telling me it's insecure, when it's not | 00:16 |
| ArisVer | mcurran: one way is to have a terminal always on as root, i do not know if it's secure enough though. | 00:17 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: if you do as you intend then all your processes will have full system access including your web broser, any malicious code will be able to do what it wants,when it wants including install / remove software as well as broadcast stored passwords and browser cookies.. | 00:17 |
| schnuffle | mcurran: as I often have to work as root, I just open a terminal and become root, why is that not enough? Just want to know | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: its quite funny how you want to completely remove all system security just for the simple conveniece of not typing your password every now and again for sudo | 00:18 |
| superMariohardco | hi! why REISUB doesn't work anymore? | 00:19 |
| delinquentme | im looking for the autoCAD experience on Ubuntu .. anyone have a suggestion as to whats the best way to get such a program running on mu ubuntu 10.04 ... is WINE the best option? | 00:19 |
| mcurran | no actually my apache root will still have it's own permissions ActionParsnip | 00:19 |
| schnuffle | mcurran: As I told you sudo -i will give you a root shell | 00:19 |
| ActionParsnip | superMariohardco: you can re-enable ctrl+alt+backspace in keyboard settings | 00:19 |
| mcurran | if you want proof I'll start it up and we'll se what files you can access | 00:19 |
| ohzie | mcurran: Some programs just won't run anymore if you do this, but you can just add yourself to the 'root' group and you'll have to sudo a lot less often probably. Though, a lot of things are 75- instead of 77-, so it won't be perfect. | 00:20 |
| velocidensity | rm -rf | 00:20 |
| ohzie | mcurran: However, it is the least destructive method I can think of | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: i'd rather help users in here, its more productive | 00:20 |
| ActionParsnip | velocidensity: please don't | 00:20 |
| mcurran | yes, I think those uid set's should not be included in open software, not sure why people insist on adding them | 00:20 |
| surge2000 | hey guys have a question | 00:21 |
| ohzie | mcurran: Because nobody wants to hear about a vulnerability in their code being run as root resulting in a system being owned, when it's a real legitimate possibility. | 00:21 |
| schnuffle | !anyone | surge2000 | 00:21 |
| ubottu | surge2000: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 00:21 |
| surge2000 | i have a broken libc6 and libc6-dev | 00:21 |
| basso | delinquentme: either wine or http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/autocad-clone-draftsight-hits-linux-beta/ | 00:21 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: in short, what you are wanting to do is not advised here, if you want to take any security out of your OS, you can but advice like that is not given here. If you really wanted it there areweb pages by other ignorant people wanting to break their OS in pretty much the same way then you can follow their guides | 00:21 |
| schnuffle | surge2000: how did you break it? | 00:22 |
| mcurran | ActionParsnip, I'm done talking about it. I'm sorry that I'm just looking for an answer for something I want to do. I guess you don't like that | 00:22 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: its not that I don't like it, it's not to be advised here | 00:23 |
| surge2000 | it broke during updates | 00:23 |
| mcurran | lets see this root shell, otherwise just let me do what I want to my OS | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: you can, its just not to be advised here | 00:23 |
| mcurran | okay | 00:23 |
| delinquentme | basso, much appreciated | 00:23 |
| schnuffle | surge2000: regular updates or some repository mixing | 00:23 |
| surge2000 | regular updates | 00:23 |
| mcurran | I know, and it's not adised anywhere, that's why the web is full of pages not telling you how to do it | 00:23 |
| superMariohardco | I know that it is possible, but would like to know the cause of the failure to continue any difficulties did not arise <ActionParsnip> | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | mcurran: thats fine | 00:24 |
| surge2000 | i then went to synaptic manager aand it said i have broken dependencies | 00:24 |
| schnuffle | surge2000: how about reinstalling them or is it already to late and apt isn't working anymore | 00:25 |
| ohzie | mcurran: Have you considered single user mode? | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | superMariohardco: thats all I know, its one of the first things I eable after install | 00:25 |
| swebo | my sound on board chip (AC 97) doesn't work ("waiting for sound system...") can somebody help me with that please? | 00:25 |
| comptekki | on ubuntu 10.10 what replace gimp - i don't see gimp | 00:26 |
| mcurran | no, ohzie, that would be even more annoying than having to type sudo | 00:26 |
| surge2000 | i finally got it so that synaptic will remove it but it says i will be removing some very essential packages | 00:26 |
| schnuffle | surge2000: open a terminal and type sudo aptitude upgrade and paste the output to pastebin | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | comptekki: it's in the repo | 00:26 |
| ohzie | mcurran: =) | 00:26 |
| schnuffle | surge2000: removing libc will break your system badly | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | swebo: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 00:26 |
| superMariohardco | anyway thanks <ActionParsnip> | 00:26 |

| KM0201 | !root | neo_ | 00:32 |
| ubottu | neo_: 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 | 00:32 |

| neo_ | but with sudo i have to put the password. The password sudo ask me is the root one or the 'neo' one? | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | surge2000: you need to paste the url in your browser yourself | 00:34 |

| MethedMan | schnuffle: did not work with user agent change. any other ideas | 00:47 |
| hiexpo | Guest73713, i suggest you running the live dvd first to get use to it | 00:47 |
| Guest73713 | it's this software that lets u run host os | 00:47 |
| schnuffle | Guest73713: Better a second one for the swap partition | 00:47 |
| Guest73713 | kinda like vmware workstation | 00:48 |

| Guest73713 | wow | 00:49 |
| Mariojinx | Can anyone help me? I have an IDE hard drive and a SATA hard drive plugged internally into my computer. The SATA drive loads but the IDE drive doesn't. I am sure the IDE drive works because it worked in another machine. | 00:49 |
| schnuffle | MethedMan: and the url? I'll try to test it. Another option can be curl | 00:49 |
| Blackoakx22 | schnuffle: then what can I use?? | 00:49 |
| Guest73713 | but when i run it, what happens? | 00:50 |
| hiexpo | brewster, open terminal run this command it will restor it to original gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 00:50 |
| Guest73713 | will i still have a dual boot? | 00:50 |
| Guest73713 | os | 00:50 |
| abiss27 | hey guys I put the computer on twice today and as it was starting up on the two occasions it said checking for hard disk errors is this a normal thing in Ubuntu?? | 00:50 |
| Guest73713 | when i turn on my laptop | 00:50 |
| schnuffle | Blackoakx22: DSL maybe, if you want a GUI it has to be something with a really tiny window manager like fvwm | 00:50 |
| surge2000 | mariojinx make sure ur drive is set to cable select | 00:50 |
| MethedMan | schnuffle: sent you a private message | 00:51 |
| Mariojinx | surge2000: it is. I double checked. it is in cable select and it is the only ide drive in the machine. everything else is sata. | 00:51 |
| l3pk3 | Guest73713: It will run as a live cd (dvd) and will not affect your existing OS unless you choose to install it. | 00:51 |
| Guest73713 | oh, so i shouldnt install it then | 00:52 |
| brewster | thanks hiexpo | 00:52 |
| eXscalate | Good evening guys, I have quite a troublesome issue and I am a bit desperate because I searched already all kind of different forums and topics about this... I am running on Ubuntu 10.10 and all the time i had perfeclty fine sound, about two hours ago the sound suddenly disappeard and doesnt want to get on anymore. please can someone help me? | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | surge2000: sudo dpkg --force-all -i filename.deb | 00:52 |
| hiexpo | brewster, no problem | 00:52 |
| surge2000 | Mariojinx well that shouldnt matter, did u check that its being recognized in the BIOS | 00:52 |
| l3pk3 | Guest73713: Just run it from the CD first and decide whether you like it or not. If you choose to install it, there is an installation icon that will guide you through the process | 00:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest73713: be sure to MD5 test the ISO so you know its healthy | 00:53 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: I had the same problem once | 00:53 |
| zulax | with tuxguitar i get no sounnd, /dev/sequencer: No such file or directory | 00:53 |
| Mariojinx | yes. it is being recognized. When I boot into the drive, I get a BSOD. (I am trying to boot into windows XP). | 00:53 |
| eXscalate | EnigmaticCoder: were you able to fix the problem? | 00:53 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: Type this command $ alsamixer | 00:53 |
| EnigmaticCoder | Then adjust the volumne levels | 00:54 |
| Mariojinx | surge2000: yes. it is being recognized. When I boot into the drive, I get a BSOD. (I am trying to boot into windows XP). | 00:54 |
| eXscalate | EnigmaticCoder: they are all on hardest | 00:54 |
| EnigmaticCoder | After you fix it, use this command to store it permanently: $ sudo alsactl store 0 | 00:54 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: Ah, sorry, that's what worked for me | 00:54 |
| Guest73713 | but if i install it, then i have to partition the stuff, right? | 00:55 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: Did you go to the right, there are many more volume bars | 00:55 |
| l3pk3 | Guest73713: right, but the installation will guide you through all of that. | 00:55 |
| eXscalate | EnigmaticCoder: you mean, master, headphones, etc? they are all on maximal level... | 00:55 |
| Guest73713 | ok | 00:55 |
| Guest73713 | so how do i get rid of this wubi then | 00:55 |
| Guest73713 | cuz i already installed it using wubi | 00:55 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: There might be a few more bars if you hold the right arrow key down | 00:55 |
| l3pk3 | Guest73713: Hmmm never used wubi as an installer. | 00:56 |
| eXscalate | EnigmaticCoder: everything i can find is on maximum level... :( | 00:56 |
| aaronth | ActionParsnip, thanks for the help, but i would just dual boot ubuntu with #! | 00:56 |
| Guest73713 | crap | 00:56 |
| Guest73713 | lol | 00:56 |
| l3pk3 | Guest73713: Let me check... | 00:57 |
| surge2000 | Mariojinx then it seems u r having BIOS confrontation | 00:57 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: I don't have much more advice, but you could press f6 on the alsamixer screen to select the sound card. | 00:57 |

| tase | To connect to the windows 7 file sharing, do I need samba installed ? | 00:58 |

| Guest73713 | ok | 00:59 |
| Mariojinx | I have another issue that I have been dealing with in Ubuntu. I have to upgrade from 9.04 to the latest version, which gets longer with each release. This is the only reason I haven't used ubuntu in a while. I have to upgrade with each release because there is an acpi bug that prevents the installer from working. The setting can be changed in 9.04, but not in any version above. Can anyone help? | 00:59 |
| aaronth | ActionParsnip, I had done that, i do want windows 7 back a little but i love the community and experimenting with linux | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tase: you need samba to share folders in Ubuntu, you can already access shares | 00:59 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: Have you experimented with the sound preferences under system | sound? | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tase: I recommed you read this: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/ | 00:59 |
| tase | I was able to earlier, uninstalled Samba, and now the Windows computer is visible in Network, but its empty | 01:00 |
| Guest73713 | is there a channel for rom/kernel development | 01:00 |
| eXscalate | EnigmaticCoder: yes... i tried to change everything, but nothing seems to be working... this is really ridiculous... it literally disappeard from one second to the other | 01:00 |
| Guest73713 | for the nexus s | 01:00 |
| surge2000 | Mariojinx just back up ur stuff from ubuntu and just to a new install at the end of the month | 01:00 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: Could it be one particular application that's muted? | 01:01 |
| Guest73713 | ? | 01:01 |
| Guest73713 | is there? | 01:01 |
| surge2000 | ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/597645/ | 01:02 |
| Mariojinx | surge2000: I can't. the installer halts on every version and I have to change a setting to noapic. I can do that in 9.04, but what about in the later versions? | 01:02 |
| eXscalate | EnigmaticCoder: i tried to use youtube on firefox and also the radio on the built in player | 01:02 |
| surge2000 | Mariojinx not sure on that bud | 01:03 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: Also, sometimes my sound goes out because my speaker plug is old. I twist it and then it works again | 01:03 |
| EnigmaticCoder | Take a look here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 | 01:03 |
| ActionParsnip | surge2000: is the file in the same folder and is that the exact filename? I suggest you use tab to autocomplete the filename | 01:03 |
| eXscalate | EnigmaticCoder: its a laptop, so the speakers are built in | 01:03 |
| surge2000 | Mariojinx not sure on that bud, but if u do a clean install you shouldnt run into any problems | 01:03 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: That link I posted is supposedly the complrehensive guide to fixing sound problems. I'd try there | 01:04 |
| Mariojinx | surge2000: would the alternate install cd work? | 01:05 |
| moltendorf | Hey everyone. | 01:05 |
| moltendorf | I'm doing a few test deploys of Ubuntu over SSH to my main dedicated box... | 01:05 |
| moltendorf | I've followed the majority of the steps listed here, but adapted them to Natty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/OverSSH | 01:06 |
| moltendorf | But when I get to the grub and reboot portion, I'm still stuck in the same OS I was on previously. | 01:06 |
| serenecloud | I'm trying to install git-core on lucid but every time I try it hangs installing libdigest-sha1-perl | 01:06 |
| EnigmaticCoder | eXscalate: Looking through that link, I don't think it will help -- I could be wrong -- but I'm out of ideas. Good luck to you | 01:07 |
| serenecloud | I've tried downloading the package from another mirror with the same result - is there a problem with this package? | 01:07 |
| surge2000 | Mariojinx just download the iso to fit ur computer and just to install from cd | 01:07 |
| itilious | can ubuntu have a dns server on the same system thats running the web server? | 01:07 |
| eXscalate | EnigmaticCoder: i have no real other options so i will try to do that... because im really desperate | 01:07 |
| Mariojinx | I'll try. | 01:07 |
| moltendorf | I'm pretty sure I did everything right except the grub, so question is, how would I get the bootloader properly installed while chrooted into the second hard drive on my server? | 01:08 |
| PFA | oy, where is Gedit to be found in my filesystem? | 01:09 |

| Datz | Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 via update manager thingy | 01:10 |

| === Guest73713 is now known as Imadouche | ||
| itilious | ActionParsnip, the tutorial i was reading on it was pretty old, but mentioned the www server and dns servers had different ip addresses in the dns server setup | 01:10 |
| Datz | thanks ActionParsnip | 01:10 |
| itilious | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093&highlight=dns+server if i'm using an antique method to setup dns server let me know ActionParsnip :) but thanks for the tip anyway :) | 01:11 |

| Datz | ActionParsnip: /me will investigate this -d option. thanks | 01:12 |
| itilious | i never really understood exactly how dns works, only fundamentally | 01:12 |
| ohzie | itilious: DNS can be very simple or very complicated, depending on what you need. What are you trying to do? | 01:12 |
| ActionParsnip | itilious: dns just resolves names to IP addresses.... | 01:12 |
| k3n5h1n | I am not able to set execute permissions despite running chmod +x | 01:12 |

| itilious | ActionParsnip / ohzie i'm trying to get my home webserver to work with a domain i own | 01:13 |
| ActionParsnip | surge2000: ok, you are running 64bit OS. Grab the 64bit deb instead and install that instead | 01:13 |
| itilious | for the learning experience of it #1 but also to save some money getting my skills out on a website as well :) | 01:13 |
| ohzie | itilious: do you have a static IP at home? | 01:13 |

| ActionParsnip | k3n5h1n: you won't be able to run your games stored in windows under wine in ubuntu, is that what you are trying to do? | 01:15 |
| itilious | thats the project after getting the domain to point to my home made server :) find a client, if any, to update dns server with my new ip address | 01:15 |
| ActionParsnip | MrMintanet: what players have you tried? | 01:15 |
| MrMintanet | Kaffine, VLC, Movie Player | 01:15 |

| k3n5h1n | ActionParsnip, no. I am trying to execute .out files from g++ | 01:16 |

| surge2000 | ActionParsnip what about the libc6 | 01:16 |

| itilious | but yes awesome service, only prob was it was so easy i learned very little ha ha but still great | 01:17 |
| ohzie | itilious: You would have to pay a registrar to wrest your domain for you, and then point it at your home web server through some magic that might get complicated and annoying. | 01:17 |
| ActionParsnip | surge2000: just websearch the package you need including the version and you will find the file | 01:17 |

| Gunnar | maco: but i want it to either ignore it or default to on | 02:18 |
| schnuffle | dtcummin: it can but when then route doesn't force a vlan tag the switch won't deliver it | 02:18 |

| Mkop | schnuffle: so I just need to move them higher in the file? | 02:21 |
| maco | Gunnar: rfkill --help | 02:21 |
| schnuffle | dtcummin: no but you need to assure that the PC from which to send pings sets the vlan tag | 02:21 |
| Gunnar | maco: unset, meaning? | 02:21 |
| maco | Gunnar: let your wireless work | 02:22 |
| maco | Gunnar: like maybe..... sudo rfkill unblock all | 02:22 |
| schnuffle | And if all machine in the different vlans are one the same subnet, the default route won*t set a vlan tag | 02:22 |
| schnuffle | so you have to set a route that forces the packet through the correct vlan interface | 02:22 |
| Gunnar | maco: so would it be enough to make that command run at boot? | 02:22 |
| maco | Gunnar: worth a try | 02:22 |

| Scunizi | KINGOFSWORDS: everything has some kind of boot loader.. including windows.. grub is the one of choice for many os's outside of windows land | 03:30 |
| Random832 | grub can load other OSes, but i think linux is the only one that uses it as the default | 03:30 |
| Random832 | maybe opensolaris | 03:30 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | i wipe my hdd but still get grub coming up is this normal | 03:31 |
| luckysmack | i have getlibs and ia32-libs installed on my computer. and im trying to install a x86 driver onto my x64 system. the drivers instructions for doing this say to use this command "dpkg -i --force-architecture cupswrapperFAX4100-1.0.2-1.i386.deb" but i still get an architecture error here: http://pastebin.com/9wSfG1qy anyone know how I can get this installed? | 03:31 |

| KINGOFSWORDS | nit-wit do i need to delte this then? as im doing fresh install of windwos and then ubuntu | 03:34 |
| ZykoticK9_ | luckysmack, are you sure you used the same command as you have posted to the channel? --force-architecture look from the pastebin output that you might have used --force. | 03:34 |

| luckysmack | its a brother fax-4100 driver. and the driver doesnt show up when i go into my printer settings either. has a ton of brother printers, just not mine. figures. | 03:39 |
| ZykoticK9_ | drcasper, syrinx_ amd64 | 03:39 |
| ZykoticK9_ | syrinx_, x86_64 would be the "machine" name from uname | 03:40 |
| drcasper | 64-bit PC (AMD64) install/live DVD ? | 03:40 |
| syrinx_ | there you go | 03:40 |
| drcasper | i didnt choose that one cuz i dont have an amd proccessor. fail! | 03:41 |
| ZykoticK9_ | drcasper, it must kill intel that it's called AMD64 - that's why thy renamed it for their own processors, but 64bit (as we know it) is technically called amd64 | 03:42 |
| n2i | :'( | 03:42 |
| drcasper | thanks ZykoticK9_ | 03:43 |
| rww | ZykoticK9_: it's not "technically called" anything ;P | 03:43 |
| drcasper | daaaaang. 11 hours :/ | 03:43 |
| thien | can somebody help me? | 03:44 |
| lestat_ | maybe | 03:45 |

| drm | whois drm | 03:45 |
| lestat_ | thien no cursor? | 03:45 |
| thien | no | 03:46 |
| ZykoticK9_ | syrinx_, it does appear that Oracle/Microsoft do call it x64 - but i'm not sure you want to follow what those two groups are doing ;) | 03:46 |
| syrinx_ | i believe SPARC originally called it x64 as well | 03:46 |
| Arney | although, now its insanely boincy, like a mac. | 03:46 |
| lestat_ | thien gray or white/black knit pattern | 03:46 |
| ZykoticK9_ | syrinx_, that was a different 64bit then the x86_64 that we know today - that was 64bit only | 03:47 |
| thien | after login, it show a gray full screen, after that it become normally | 03:47 |
| s47 | hey i've got a problem logging in via the wm gnome. ubuntu lets me login via the console but evert time i try to login via gnome it brings me straight back to the login... this issue randomly started happening, i haven't messed with the wm's default config, any ideas? | 03:47 |
| syrinx_ | yea, you have to start somewhere though; also, this is !ot | 03:47 |
| chaembian | Good morning all | 03:47 |
| commodore64th | good evening. | 03:48 |
| lestat_ | thien so the X and the wm are being loaded - no problem | 03:48 |
| syrinx_ | s47: password is wrong? | 03:48 |
| s47 | no, password's fine, as i said i can login via the console with no problem. | 03:48 |
| chaembian | I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Toshiba A200 (T7500 C2D). And system lock-ups like crazy. | 03:48 |
| thien | yes, no problem but it's a bit ugly | 03:48 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | how do i tell if my cd burner is broke or not? | 03:49 |
| s47 | syrinx_: to further verify this i have tried logging in gnome with the wrong password and it notifys me that it's incorrect... | 03:49 |
| chaembian | I tried with noapic, nolapic, acpi_skip_timer_override | 03:49 |
| chaembian | ... to no avail | 03:50 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, if something is preventing WM/DE from starting, it sends you back to GDM. Try logging in as a different user (might work, and would verify it's a problem in your user account) | 03:50 |
| syrinx_ | s47: I have no idea, did you happen to update to gnome3? | 03:50 |
| chaembian | If someone can guide me on debugging the issue, I'll be grateful. | 03:50 |
| induz | I have downloaded a file at /Downloads/writertools-1.9.1...how can i install it | 03:50 |
| s47 | syrinx_: i've tried logging in with other accounts and the same problem occurs | 03:50 |
| nit-wit | chaembian, have you confirmed that the disc will boot on another computer? | 03:51 |
| s47 | syrinx_: i don't think i updated to gnome3 but how can i check the version? | 03:51 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, then it's not a user account issue, do you have any other WM/DEs to log in with? do they work? | 03:51 |
| syrinx_ | s47: if you didn't update to gnome3 explicitly then you I would assume you have gnome2 | 03:52 |
| s47 | syrinx_: nope i haven't installed any other wm/de's, i had no issue with using gnome until it decided to not allow me to login.. | 03:53 |
| chaembian | nit-wit: Ubuntu 10.10 has been installed in the laptop. The image off the USB key ran fine without any glitches. | 03:53 |
| === dark is now known as Guest30370 | ||
| s47 | syrinx_: i run apt-get upgrade regularly, i don't suppose it would've updated gnome? | 03:53 |

| chaembian | Before yesterday, I had the root system in JFS. I was wondering if that was causing the lock-ups, so wiped the system clean and installed again with root as ext4 | 03:55 |
| s47 | any ideas ZykoticK9_? | 03:55 |
| sacha | Can someone help me ? My Mumble did not find the microphone :( | 03:55 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, sorry no. Good luck. | 03:55 |
| sacha | Nobody ? | 03:56 |
| bigspivs | hello | 03:56 |

| elkclone | wow | 03:57 |
| lestat_ | do anyone knows about any applet that simulate hd leds blinking on a toram system? | 03:57 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_, syrinx_: do you know how i can force X/gnome to reconfigure itself? redetect the graphic card/drivers needed? | 03:57 |
| Arney | Yey! the answer was yes. | 03:57 |
| chaembian | A 'watch -d cat /proc/interrupts' shows that the IR-IO-APIC-edge frozen when the lock-up happens | 03:58 |

| chaembian | nit-wit: nomodeset? I did not get you. | 03:58 |
| lestat_ | watch?? | 03:58 |
| syrinx_ | s47: I guess you could try to restart gnome | 03:58 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, i doubt X is your issue if you don't have a problem with GDM. Do you have an xorg.conf file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)? | 03:58 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | are there fingerprint sensor drivers for ubuntu? | 03:58 |
| teage | how do i get my IP | 03:59 |
| chaembian | I think I have missed this: the system boots up fine; after 2 or 3 mins, it simply locks-up | 03:59 |
| syrinx_ | teage: ifconfig | 03:59 |
| arand | teage: ifconfig | 03:59 |
| ZykoticK9_ | teage, ifconfig from a terminal | 03:59 |
| syrinx_ | lol | 03:59 |
| nit-wit | chaembian, nomodeset at the grub menu by editing into the end of the kernel or at the cd boot f6 prompt=low graphics mode, your ati radeon 2600 card is suspect I think | 04:00 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: nope but i have an xorg.conf.failsafe, x.org.conf-backup and a x.org-dist-upgrade | 04:00 |
| nit-wit | chaembian, just for reference if this is your card http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ati-radeon-hd-2600-drivers-in-ubuntu.html | 04:01 |
| syrinx_ | s47: restart the computer. if it still doesn't work then I would assume it has nothing to do with GDM | 04:01 |
| syrinx_ | or X for that matter | 04:01 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, ok - i would suggest moving xorg.conf to a backup file name, but if you don't have one - that means it's already using automatic detection | 04:01 |
| syrinx_ | ZykoticK9_: probably has intel graphics | 04:01 |
| s47 | syrinx_: i've restarted it several times and it still doesn't allow me to login | 04:01 |
| syrinx_ | s47: then it has something to do with the user account | 04:02 |
| s47 | syrinx_: impossible, i created a new user account and the same problem occurs, i also tried using the root account | 04:02 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, can you log in successfully from ctrl+alt+f1? (ctrl+alt+f7 or f8 to get back) | 04:02 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: yea, via the console | 04:03 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, root won't work (unless you set a pw, which is an ubuntu no-no) | 04:03 |
| mrd_ | er.. | 04:03 |
| rhizmoe | just gotta say, i spent a lot of years saying "noobuntu," but it's really working out well for me. | 04:03 |
| * rhizmoe scans for the first time | 04:03 | |
| lestat_ | hehehe roots r on strike | 04:03 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, from console you could try "sudo service gdm stop" then "startx" and see if anything is different, or if you get any useful output in the console | 04:04 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: fair enough but i also created a new account but the same problem occurs | 04:04 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: i'll try that now | 04:04 |
| syrinx_ | restarting the computer effectively restarts gdm, so... | 04:04 |

| chaembian | its a plain intel | 04:06 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, use alt+sysrq(printscreen)+k to stop X and see if the console says anything about Gnome (which might not be loading with our startx command?) | 04:06 |

| mdg2 | anyone here use lxde ubuntu install? I have a nm-applet issue | 04:07 |
| chaembian | With JFS the lock-ups were sparse. With ext4, there is a lock-up under 5 mins | 04:07 |
| syrinx_ | LaughingKota: crtl-alt-f7 | 04:07 |
| pksadiq | LaughingKota:or may be sudo startx if you have killed X | 04:08 |
| ZykoticK9_ | LaughingKota, perhaps "sudo service gdm start" if you've exited Xorg | 04:08 |
| LaughingKota | yeah, I closed Firefox, and it killed X | 04:08 |
| chaembian | syrinx_: I don't have a radeon device. After successful boot, the machine locks-up after few mins. | 04:08 |
| LaughingKota | Thanks | 04:08 |
| ZykoticK9_ | LaughingKota, don't use the sudo startx! | 04:08 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: it killed my screen completely lol... my screen light changed from blue (active) to orange (inactive) - no signal | 04:08 |
| mdg2 | what helper apps and permissions does nm-applet need in lxde ubuntu install? | 04:09 |
| syrinx_ | chaembian: maybe you're swappiness is too high | 04:09 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, try going to ctrl+alt+f1 | 04:09 |

| chaembian | when I did a watch -d as suggested in the thread, I saw that the timer got frozen as well. | 04:09 |
| ZykoticK9_ | LaughingKota, "sudo service gdm restart" then | 04:09 |
| LaughingKota | Alright | 04:10 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, i can't explain that. sorry man. | 04:10 |
| syrinx_ | chaembian: oh, I don't know then | 04:10 |
| chaembian | syrinx_: swappiness? | 04:10 |
| syrinx_ | !swappiness | chaembian | 04:10 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: no worries, thanks for helping. | 04:10 |
| syrinx_ | awww | 04:10 |
| mdg2 | what helper apps and permissions does nm-applet need in lxde ubuntu install? | 04:10 |
| chaembian | syrinx_: that was just as cryptic as it was before :) | 04:11 |
| syrinx_ | chaembian: forget i said it, probably has nothing to do with it | 04:11 |
| chaembian | alright | 04:11 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, after you restart your system, when you are at the login screen, do you have any other "session" choices? | 04:11 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: you said setting a root password is a "no-no" for ubuntu, however that's something i previously set... i don't suppose ubuntu has some security feature which if detecting a root password locks the system from logging in? it seems unlikely but i figured i'd ask anyway | 04:11 |
| chaembian | There is lot of ram and the system is barely loaded. | 04:11 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, no, i don't think it's gotten to that stage (yet) | 04:12 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: nope, just the options to shutdown/restart and change the keyboard lang | 04:12 |

| s47 | ZykoticK9_: how can i check that? uname -a? | 04:14 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, at the GDM screen, you should have a "session" option after clicking your user name. lsb_release -a from a terminal | 04:15 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: nope, i only see lang/key options | 04:16 |

| ZykoticK9_ | s47, i don't have any Lucid VMs so cant check... sorry man I'm out of ideas for ya. I fail... | 04:19 |
| jeremyn | any suggestions on what changes i need to enable bridged networking on a ubuntu 10.04 guest system running in a virtualbox installed on windows? i added the adapter to the machine in virtualbox but when i rebooted the ubuntu guest, it didn't recognize the new hardware | 04:19 |
| syrinx_ | ZykoticK9_: I don't think I've ever heard of or experienced what he is experiencing... | 04:19 |
| timtamboy63 | I'm trying to install some custom GTK2 Themes, (elementary), but the custom breadcrums llook wierd - there's a white gap in between then, any idea how to fix? | 04:19 |

| timtamboy63 | http://danrabbit.deviantart.com/art/elementary-gtk-theme-83104033 | 04:20 |
| ZykoticK9_ | syrinx_, i know at some point i've had the same issue, could type my password and Gnome would start - then right back to GDM. Totally forgotten what the issue/solution was in my case... s47 | 04:20 |
| timtamboy63 | Thats what I'm trying to install | 04:20 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: surely this "error" must be creatining a log in x/gnome? where are logs located? | 04:21 |
| syrinx_ | s47: /var/log/ i believe | 04:21 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, you could have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log or perhaps even dmesg | 04:21 |
| recluse | need to know all the ways to get the device name | 04:21 |
| ZykoticK9_ | recluse, what sort of device? for hard drives you could use "sudo fdisk -l" | 04:22 |
| recluse | I want to know the dev of a certain HDD | 04:22 |
| syrinx_ | chaembian: how did it go? | 04:23 |
| ZykoticK9_ | recluse, "sudo fdisk -l" | 04:23 |
| ZykoticK9_ | recluse, also "sudo blkid" might help | 04:23 |
| recluse | @ZykoticK9_ thanks do you know how to get a device name on the console if you are in a directory? | 04:24 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_, syrinx_: thanks... what's the apt-get command for updating the dist? | 04:25 |
| ZykoticK9_ | recluse, both of my above command are to be run in terminals? so i'm not sure what you're asking. | 04:25 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, the dist? like going to 10.10? | 04:26 |
| rww | !upgrade | 04:26 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 04:26 |
| syrinx_ | rww comes through in the clutch | 04:26 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, 'cause there is also "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" which updates the system, but doesn't upgrade to a new version | 04:27 |
| recluse | ZykoticK9_ if you are in a directory of a device and you don't know which /dev??? it is | 04:28 |
| recluse | ZykoticK9_ is there a command for that | 04:28 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: sorry, yea... how can i go about upgrading to 10.10? | 04:28 |
| lestat_ | cya guys | 04:29 |
| ZykoticK9_ | recluse, i don't know of a command to directly find that info sorry. "pwd" will show you where you are, and "mount" will show all mounted file systems, cross reference. | 04:29 |
| recluse | bye | 04:29 |
| recluse | lestat bye | 04:29 |
| Arney | Who do I have to prioritize to improve mouse performance? | 04:29 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, i don't personally recommend trying to upgrade Ubuntu version (I've seen too many issues) - but if you wanted see the !upgrade factoid rww sent. | 04:30 |
| Millentree10 | how would i change the order in grub to boot to windows by default? | 04:31 |
| ZykoticK9_ | s47, there are probably some special steps you need to upgrade from an LTS to a non-LTS version - i'm sure they are covered in the link. | 04:31 |
| rhizmoe | say, xscan is pretty nice | 04:32 |
| s47 | ZykoticK9_: fair enough, thanks again for your help. i'll gonna reboot now but i'll be back in a bit :) | 04:32 |
| ZykoticK9_ | Millentree10, i think you need to change the line "GRUB_DEFAULT=0" in /etc/default/grub (then run "sudo grub-update") BUT my personal attempt at that failed the other day, so hopefully someone else answers ;) | 04:32 |
| ZykoticK9_ | Millentree10, sorry/correction "sudo update-grub" | 04:33 |
| nit-wit | ZykoticK9_, no, install startup manager | 04:33 |
| Millentree10 | my personal choice would be ubuntu first, but unfortunately im not the only person to use this pc :p | 04:33 |
| nit-wit | Millentree10, su manager | 04:33 |

| madsailor | jtannenbaum, system monitor will show you which processes are running, and you can right click on a likely looking one to see what it has accessed | 04:50 |

| ceo | Millentree10, i don't know what the model, how can i see the model ? | 04:53 |
| syrinx_ | malv: flash is a broken technology if you ask me | 04:53 |
| Millentree10 | malv because on linux, chromium > firefox | 04:53 |
| syrinx_ | hehe | 04:53 |
| ZykoticK9_ | malv, the question is really "why does flash suck" and the answer is "adobe" ;) </OT> | 04:53 |
| commodore64th | I think Chrome > FF in any OS... | 04:53 |
| syrinx_ | ^^^ | 04:54 |
| Millentree10 | yeah that too commodore64th | 04:54 |
| commodore64th | mmhmm. | 04:54 |

| ZykoticK9_ | even Chromium isn't totally open source (chrome certainly isn't), to FireFox (Iceweasel/Icecat) has a big advantage there in my opinion </OT> | 04:55 |
| Millentree10 | i just notice firefox to be especially deficient in ubuntu | 04:55 |

| brez | hopefully the dyndns works and I can ssh to it | 04:56 |
| syrinx_ | ZykoticK9_: Chromium is open source | 04:56 |
| syrinx_ | Chrome isn't | 04:56 |
| drcasper | isnt flash what java used to be? java sukz donkey | 04:56 |
| ZykoticK9_ | syrinx_, i wish - it can't be included in "free" distros, cause parts of it are NOT open sourced | 04:56 |
| drcasper | ill take flash anytime | 04:56 |

| commodore64th | I've no clue | 05:07 |

| mono | OK! Thanks. | 05:10 |
| Millentree10 | ill probably never get around to upgrading until 11.10 anyway | 05:10 |
| commodore64th | Millentree10, it's worth it. | 05:10 |
| commodore64th | IMHO | 05:10 |
| RealOpty | guess wat | 05:10 |
| syrinx_ | Millentree10: no 11.04 for you? | 05:10 |
| ActionParsnip | commodore64th: are you using natty on the system not getting dhcp? | 05:11 |
| RealOpty | ubuntu + freenx | classic xbox + gentoox + nx client = BADASS! | 05:11 |

| ubottu | RealOpty: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 05:11 |
| commodore64th | I believe so. | 05:11 |
| Millentree10 | i just generally cant be assed to update my softwares usually | 05:11 |
| RealOpty | oh oops | 05:11 |
| RealOpty | lol | 05:11 |

| RealOpty | nah its on topic | 05:11 |
| ActionParsnip | RealOpty: try ssh + x forwarding instead of freenx. much cooler :) | 05:11 |
| Millentree10 | ive been on 9.04 until last week lol | 05:11 |

| RealOpty | plz | 05:12 |
| ActionParsnip | disappearedng: sure, you can network boot if your BIOS supports | 05:12 |
| qin | RealOpty: man ssh | 05:12 |
| disappearedng | ActionParsnip: sure I can do that but can I just mount it and run and then ubuntu will do some magic? | 05:13 |
| ceo | ActionParsnip, this is out http://paste.ubuntu.com/597706/ | 05:13 |
| RealOpty | i know gow to do ssh fowarding, just dont know about the X server settings to make it work | 05:13 |
| oscar | hey..somebody here tp help me out with ivman, please? | 05:14 |
| ActionParsnip | RealOpty: install openssh-server on the server side and you can connect via ssh to run command line commands, When you connect, if you add the -X option (capitalized) you can launch apps on the server side and they will appear on the client system but be running on the server (much like citrix) | 05:14 |
| ActionParsnip | RealOpty: X forwarding is enabled by default in openssh-server | 05:14 |
| ceo | ActionParsnip, this is out http://paste.ubuntu.com/597706/ | 05:14 |

| ZykoticK9 | !final | ssk_the_gr8 | 05:26 |
| ubottu | ssk_the_gr8: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Natty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 11.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. | 05:26 |

| madsailor | bsox, yes, there is, but I'm not sure where exactly to find it. If you can't change the association by the GUI method I suggested, maybe someone can point you in the right direction | 05:26 |
| Millentree10 | ceo did you say you used to have effects? | 05:26 |
| madsailor | it is probably gnome related | 05:26 |
| commodore64th | Millentree10, I'm using an HP Mini, and the headphone port and Mic port are magically merged somehow. | 05:27 |

| oscar | i think ann uses some kind of transaltion copy and paste tool... | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ceo: have you asked in #compiz too? | 05:54 |
| oscar | annn: sudo apt-get install x-chat | 05:54 |
| KM0201 | Millentree10: probably doing something stupid. | 05:54 |
| ActionParsnip | ceo: that line you pastebinned is an output of the command. So you saying "nothing happened" is incorrect | 05:55 |

| ActionParsnip | ceo: ok and have you also logged a bug? | 05:58 |

| commodore64th | Millentree10, I can overclock my HP Mini if I desolder a resistor on the top of the circuit board. I'm fully capable of doing that because of years of soldering experience, but I don't have a hot enough iron, and I don't want to risk breaking my Mini. (sigh) | 06:22 |

| thien | how to add a program shortcut into Docky, it isn't in Application menu | 06:36 |

| aptidude_ | Is there a way I can do a command line install of Natty? Not a server install, but one with linux-generic, acpi, etc. | 06:38 |

| Millentree10 | just make sure that "fully updated" remains true at all times | 06:38 |
| thien | so how to change it's icon | 06:38 |
| rww | aptidude_: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks! | 06:38 |
| lexvegas | rww, Millentree10 Thanks, thats what I thought, but I figured there was no harm in asking :) | 06:38 |

| ActionParsnip | curiousx: you need to know the chip it uses more than anything | 06:45 |
| timtamboy63 | And yeah, it does look like that, does that mean its something other than my messing with /etc/skel thats screwed it up? | 06:45 |
| derr | can someone help me fix my audio? | 06:45 |
| ActionParsnip | derr: whats wrong with it? | 06:46 |

| ActionParsnip | derr: others may be able to help | 06:46 |
| timtamboy63 | Thanks mate :) | 06:46 |
| rumpe1 | timtamboy63, not unless you have made backups or snapshots or similar.. try the files from ActionParsnip | 06:47 |
| timtamboy63 | Ah, okay then | 06:47 |
| rumpe1 | and check them for secret backdoors ^^ | 06:47 |
| timtamboy63 | :P | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | timtamboy63: http://paste.ubuntu.com/597731/ | 06:48 |
| lexvegas | What is the difference between auth.log and auth.log.1 | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | timtamboy63: in future, make a BACKUP copy of the files, then you won't have this issue | 06:48 |
| timtamboy63 | Will do, thanks | 06:48 |
| rumpe1 | lexvegas, auth.log.1 is older (log-rotation) | 06:48 |
| rww | lexvegas: auth.log is the current log. auth.log.1 is the old one. | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | timtamboy63: then you can easily roll back the files if you get stuck | 06:48 |
| timtamboy63 | Yep :) | 06:49 |
| lexvegas | rumpe1, rww Thanks! | 06:49 |
| rumpe1 | timtamboy63, a backup of /etc doesnt need much time or space... for specific backups before messing with it :) | 06:49 |
| timtamboy63 | Gotcha | 06:49 |
| timtamboy63 | Is there a way to open the text editor as via sudo? | 06:49 |
| rumpe1 | timtamboy63, gksudo gedit e.g. | 06:50 |
| timtamboy63 | thanks | 06:50 |
| ActionParsnip | timtamboy63: or: sudo nano filename for cli editting | 06:53 |
| timtamboy63 | Yep :) | 06:53 |

| anthony_2409 | how do i navigate to a folder in terminal that has a space in it? | 06:56 |
| ActionParsnip | anthony_2409: use tab to autocomplete | 06:56 |

| rumpe1 | er... if that's even possible ^^ | 06:56 |

| ubottu | rhizmoe: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 07:27 |
| rhizmoe | tash3r: you can rip everything out and reinstall what you know you want | 07:27 |
| tash3r | which packages would i purge reinstall? | 07:27 |
| soreau | ! xubuntu | rhizmoe | 07:27 |
| ubottu | rhizmoe: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 07:27 |
| tash3r | idk which ones i need | 07:27 |
| rhizmoe | i've heard of those...do i really have to reinstall in order to change wm's? | 07:27 |
| rhizmoe | or..DE, in the parlance of our time. | 07:27 |
| rumpe1 | tash3r, for audio e.g. pulseaudio | 07:27 |
| chaembian | soreau: Sure. Its a Toshiba Satellite A200. Core 2 Duo T7500, Phoenix bios, intel 965gm chipset | 07:27 |
| soreau | rhizmoe: No, you can make your own | 07:27 |
| rhizmoe | i was just thinking the old fluxbox or xfce or whatever | 07:28 |
| ceo_ | am hard to know, how to backup my ubuntu with all configuration | 07:28 |
| tash3r | k so just go to synaptic uninstall any pulse audio files then reinstall them? | 07:28 |
| chaembian | After uneventful booting, 2 mins in, the system locks up, irrespective of what I'm doing or not doing. | 07:28 |
| soreau | ! backup | ceo_ | 07:28 |

| tash3r | soory ima noob | 07:28 |
| rumpe1 | tash3r, maybe your pulseaudio has problems... just deinstall it and try again with pure alsa | 07:28 |

| chaembian | Its intel's native | 07:29 |
| larsto | oh, chaembian, intel it is good, it is free drivers | 07:29 |
| lexvegas | rhizmoe, you should be able to just run apt-get install xubuntu-desktop if you want all of the xubuntu apps, or just apt-get install xfce for just the DE | 07:29 |
| tash3r | larsto: ? | 07:29 |
| soreau | scriptwarlock: Turn off the away messages please | 07:29 |
| iszak | chaembian, so basically a IGP? | 07:29 |
| kleopatra | is there a simple way to show the last modified file in a subdirectory? | 07:30 |
| chaembian | Should be part of intel's chipset. It doesn't have any fancy drivers or hardware for that matter | 07:30 |
| rhizmoe | lexvegas: ah, like i had to reinstall gnome-desktop | 07:30 |
| rhizmoe | makes sense :) | 07:30 |
| rhizmoe | kleopatra: ls -lrt | tail -1 | 07:30 |
| chaembian | rhizmoe: how do I share the messages? | 07:30 |
| soreau | chaembian: Do you have any other operating system installed to test if the same problem happens? (if it does, it could be a hardware failure) | 07:30 |
| multipass | hi, anyone know the size of the kubuntu-desktop package? | 07:31 |
| chaembian | soreau: Nope, I wiped the Windows it was running before. | 07:31 |
| soreau | !info kubuntu-desktop | multipass | 07:31 |
| ubottu | multipass: kubuntu-desktop (source: kubuntu-meta): Kubuntu Plasma Desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.205 (maverick), package size 27 kB, installed size 56 kB | 07:31 |
| rumpe1 | multipass, its a metapackage... so its very small | 07:31 |
| rhizmoe | chaembian: share? if you want to look at the logfile: less /var/log/messages then do ^f | 07:31 |
| multipass | rumpe1, any idea how big it is installed? | 07:32 |
| soreau | multipass: It will likely pull in a ton of dependencies for kde though | 07:32 |
| rhizmoe | a "leave it for the night" install ;) | 07:32 |
| multipass | soreau, right, thats what im wondering since its not in the software package | 07:32 |
| multipass | manager | 07:32 |

| multipass | in synaptic, it just says like 44kb though, rumpe1 | 07:33 |
| soreau | multipass: Just do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and it should tell you the total size before it installs | 07:33 |
| rumpe1 | !natty | n2i | 07:33 |

| rumpe1 | multipass, no... if you start the installation theres a dialoge with infos about the packages that are needed... | 07:34 |
| chaembian | OK, there is a "ACPI: If "acpi_apic_instance=2" works better, notify linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org" -- but both default and acpi_apic_instance=2 yields the same thing. | 07:34 |
| kleopatra | rhizmoe: sry didnt say it clearly, i want i recurivly. I know some program is running and i want to see what its douing right now, i only know the root directory where its working but not what subfolder | 07:34 |
| rumpe1 | multipass, or if you just do a "apt-get install kde-foo" it also will first tell you, how big it will be and ask for your permission. | 07:34 |
| chaembian | rhizmoe: dmesg as well | 07:34 |

| ceo_ | soreau, how remove all packeg webserver such mysql apache and phpmyadmin, am need re install it brotha. | 07:50 |
| soreau | chaembian: You probably should try to look at some logs. Is it a hard lock? Or does X just hang? could be a hard drive failure or anything | 07:50 |
| soreau | ceo_: sudo apt-get remove --purge pkg1 pkg2 pkg3 | 07:51 |

| ceo_ | soreau, am have the problem back Unable to locate package mysql | 07:52 |
| ceo_ | what that mean | 07:52 |
| chaembian | soreau: as far as I can tell, hardware is good. The laptop is my dad's and he's been mainintaining it real well. | 07:52 |
| soreau | ceo_: Maybe its saying that mysql is not currently installed | 07:52 |
| ceo_ | oke | 07:53 |
| chaembian | soreau: What is a hard lock? I did 'watch -d cat /proc/interrupts' and saw the IO-APIC-Edge-timer freeze during the lock up. | 07:53 |
| jiltdil | soreau: why we use redirection using cat and also after this why we move hosts.bak to host as firstly we have to do viceversa | 07:53 |
| soreau | jiltdil: Basically, that command just moves known_hosts out of the way, then when you ssh in, it will create a key in known_hosts again. After that, the cat command appends the information to the .bak then you move it back so it has everyone on board | 07:54 |

| rhizmoe | sasori: user group & others | 07:58 |
| rhizmoe | in that order | 07:58 |

| soreau | pneftali: It could be that it isnt compatible with your dvd burner. You dont have to format it, but it probably wouldnt hurt to blank it, if its rewritable | 08:10 |

| tsm_ice9 | well, on my monitor at home with HDMI, it worked with high resolution if I remember right | 08:13 |
| tsm_ice9 | but at work I only have DVI on my monitor | 08:13 |
| tsm_ice9 | when I tried that, it would only do 1280x1024 | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pneftali: just open the MD5 tested ISO with your burning app and burn as slowly as possible, it will be fine | 08:13 |
| tsm_ice9 | I tried using xrandr to force it, but no luck | 08:13 |

| nesbitt | i have a gigabit network card, and when i run ethtool, Advertised link modes includes 1000basT/Full as does supported link modes, but the speed is still 100Mb/s, and typical transfers are 9-10MB/s. Can anyone tell me why it isn't connected at 1000 and how i can fix it? http://paste2.org/p/1379140 | 08:31 |
| Guest65848 | buongiorno a tutti | 08:31 |
| ActionParsnip | KINGOFSWORDS: you should be websearching the kill process, it will teach you your OS a little rather than me having to explain every step | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | KINGOFSWORDS: teach a man to fish etc | 08:32 |

| ActionParsnip | nesbitt: be sure your interconnecting device can do that speed too | 08:33 |

| ActionParsnip | Robby: backtrack isnt supported here | 08:33 |

| ubottu | Robby: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition | 08:33 |

| nesbitt | ActionParsnip, MaRk-I: does Advertised mean advertised by the connection? I have several computers on the network, but the two i'm working with are ubuntu machines which both support 1000baseT/Full. i'm not sure about the router, how can i check? | 08:35 |

| OasisTopher | Hi, I am running Ubuntu 10.04. I have a Windows 7 partition, and GRUB is the bootloader. I have VMWare installed and a virtual Winows 7 machine. I would like to convert the Win7 virtualmachine to the physical partition and boot directly from it. anyone know what tool/s I should use? | 08:36 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | ok nm-applet no enabled...but not showing | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | nesbitt: if the router is a 10/100 then your link will go at 100 as that is the fastest speed which BOTH can do | 08:36 |
| ActionParsnip | KINGOFSWORDS: ok, launch nm-applet from terminal, the output may be useful | 08:37 |
| MaRk-I | nesbitt: even if you set it at that speed if your area network is not gigabit you won't get that speed anyways | 08:37 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | warning constructor couldnt inititialize the d-bus mgr | 08:38 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | sorry im on differnt pc to one | 08:38 |
| nesbitt | ActionParsnip, MaRk-I: yeah... looked up the router, it appears it's only 10/100 :'(. obvious thing to check really. thanks anyway! | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | nesbitt: most home grade routers are 10/100 | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | KINGOFSWORDS: ok, copy the error and use it in searches to see what it means | 08:39 |
| nesbitt | ActionParsnip: really? that's a bit disappointing, considering that most motherboards seem to come with gigabit i would have thought routers would have followed... | 08:39 |

| KKF | I need some help if anyone is here. | 08:57 |
| soreau | ! ask | KKF | 08:57 |
| ubottu | KKF: 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. :-) | 08:57 |
| soreau | leapy0yo: compiz grid plugin | 08:58 |
| KKF | I have a dell mini 9. I just downloaded and started using Ubuntu Netbook Edition through the use of a flashdrive. I can "try" Unbuntu just fine but when I stall it hangs after the dell boot screen. I have no idea what to do now. I reinstalled it 4 times and the samething happens. | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | jhches21: you can add a folder to $PATH and you can call the command without naming the folder | 08:59 |
| jhches21 | Actionparsnip that sounded like what I wanted, let me try it. Thanks. (Where is this $PATH? Still kinda new) | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | jhches21: or you can make a simple script to run the command and put it in /usr/bin, if the pwd needs to be the same as the app you are calling then you will need the script | 08:59 |
| soreau | jhches21: Create a script (in /usr/local/bin) containing the full path of the command you want to run | 09:00 |
| escoloader | hi, i need to get "gptsync from my distros repositories" but i have no idea what that means | 09:00 |
| jhches21 | ActionParsnip I tried putting a link in the /bin and it didn't work. (heh, of course) Can you guys explain more about this script? | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | jhches21: its a variable, you can add to it by adding: export PATH=$PATH:/folder/folder in ~/.bashrc | 09:00 |
| escoloader | they are deb files, and what do i do with them? | 09:00 |
| soreau | !info gptsync | escoloader | 09:00 |
| ubottu | escoloader: gptsync (source: refit): GPT and MBR partition tables synchronisation tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13-3ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 20 kB, installed size 104 kB (Only available for i386 amd64) | 09:00 |
| soreau | escoloader: sudo apt-get install gptsync | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | jhches21: the script would be a text file ad have the top line: #!/bin/bash | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | jhches21: then the next lines are the command(s) you use to run the app | 09:01 |
| jhches21 | Okay give me a min. Let me see if I can get it to work. | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | jhches21: then mark the textfile as executable | 09:01 |
| escoloader | thanks soreau | 09:02 |
| jhches21 | ActionParsnip: Okay, last question, how do you change textfile to executeable from bash? | 09:06 |
| soreau | jhches21: chmod +x /path/to/script | 09:06 |
| jhches21 | soreau ty! | 09:07 |
| jhches21 | Now time to test | 09:07 |
| jhches21 | It worked perfectly! Thank you ActionParsnip and soreau for your help. | 09:07 |

| somed8 | how do i restore my desktop? | 09:22 |
| somed8 | i was messing with compiz settings and everything got screwed | 09:22 |
| soreau | somed8: What did you do that broke it? | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | new_kid: i'd try #gnome | 09:23 |
| new_kid | okay ...thanks | 09:23 |
| ouyes_ | ActionParsnip, the solution is very simple | 09:23 |
| somed8 | went to compiz configuration and enabled the cube and then i cant remember but i lost all | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | new_kid: it uses different settings which you can manipulate at CLI | 09:23 |
| soreau | somed8: Does it work if you run metacity --replace from a terminal? | 09:23 |
| ouyes_ | ActionParsnip, soreau and I find it | 09:23 |
| somed8 | Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager | 09:24 |
| new_kid | you mean there's no GUI for that yet? | 09:24 |
| soreau | somed8: I said metacity --replace | 09:24 |
| Baribal | soreau, then they'd be switched around; the left acts as if it were the right and vice versa. | 09:24 |
| soreau | Baribal: So switch the monitor cables | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | new_kid: not as far as I know, i've tried gnome3 a few times and there are some people's attemps at gui apps, only changes I made were in CLI | 09:25 |
| somed8 | soreau: did that command and nothing happened | 09:25 |
| soreau | somed8: Then compiz is not the culprit | 09:25 |
| new_kid | Okay ......Thanks again & bye | 09:25 |
| soreau | somed8: There is something else pretty messed up | 09:25 |
| leagris | somed8 logout from gnome, open a text console <CTRL><ALT><F1>, login user in console, mkdir ~/oldsttings mv ~/.*gnom ~/.gtk* ~/.compiz* ~/oldsettings, exit console, login back to gnome <CTRL><ALT><F8> | 09:25 |
| Baribal | soreau, then the bars that are on the right monitor (where I want them, only I want it to be the right monitor functionally, too) be on the left again. | 09:25 |
| Blarumyrram | Hello. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I can't understand at all how Print Screen works. When I press it, I get a dialogue, with an option for "copy to clipboard"; when I press that, it copies the screenshot to clipboard. However when I then copy a piece of text, the screenshot is removed from clipboard. Is this a bug? When I for example copy an image in Gimp & then copy a piece of text, the image isn't removed from clipboard, so I don't think | 09:26 |
| Blarumyrram | it's the fault of the clipboard. | 09:26 |
| soreau | Baribal: It sounds like to me you are just doing it wrong | 09:26 |

| somed8 | leagris: im on 11.04 does it make a difference? will that work? | 09:26 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: leagris: Also, compiz settings are not stored in ~/.config/compiz by default | 09:26 |
| leagris | somed8, you can move ~/.gconf as well ActionParsnip .compiz may exist if you enabled plain file config backend sometime | 09:26 |

| atlef | ceo_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 09:38 |
| ceo_ | am used windows for make / build site so easy, but why linux still used premision | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ceo_: means www is a directory owned by only root and is readable and executable by anyone but only writable by root | 09:39 |
| soreau | ceo_: Linux is more secure and doesnt suffer from problems such as viruses | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ceo_: it's not, its just a new OS to you so you will have teething issues | 09:39 |
| ceo_ | thanks ActionParsnip and soreau | 09:40 |
| leagris | ceo_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 09:41 |
| ceo_ | leagris, am have done see that, but hard to know ? kekkeek | 09:41 |
| EO_ | soreau: ok thanks. looking closer at NFS, exporting both /nfsroot to * and /nfsroot/ubuntu/10.10/i386/desktop to * chooses the 1st mount somehow and screws up in the PXE machine. | 09:42 |
| ceo_ | but the way, how to make some file full premition on /var/www/ ? | 09:42 |
| EO_ | soreau: getting rid of the /nfsroot * mount fixes the issue. Hurray! | 09:42 |
| soreau | EO_: Im glad that solved it | 09:42 |
| soreau | because I am not well versed on the topic of nfs/pxeboot | 09:42 |
| joyce | I am trying to setup DYNDNS in CSF firewall | 09:42 |
| soreau | ! firewall | joyce | 09:43 |
| ubottu | joyce: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 09:43 |
| joyce | The csf.conf file contains the message that DYNDNS will work only in kernal 2.6.20 and above. uname -r shows my version as 2.6.18 | 09:43 |
| soreau | joyce: ... what version of ubuntu are you using?? | 09:43 |
| UbuntuNoob | is it possible to get a virus in ubuntu by unrar-ing a rar which might contain a virus? | 09:43 |
| joyce | 10.04 | 09:44 |
| soreau | joyce: You mean 2.6.32 then? I dont see how you could possibly have 2.6.18 | 09:44 |
| joyce | My server is a VPS. | 09:44 |
| ceo_ | if am need to install packeg joomla allway can't do | 09:45 |
| joyce | I have only ssh access to the machine. Can I manage ufw from terminal only? | 09:45 |
| leagris | ceo_, viles in /var/www should remain with existing permissions as it is the secure setting. If you really need a user changing/editing files from a web content you should configure the web server (apache?) to read the content from some other document root or directory inside the user dir, then set permissions appropriately | 09:45 |
| ccaggie05 | hey all...can anyone answer questions regarding a ubuntu/windows vista dual boot? | 09:45 |
| soreau | joyce: I really dont think this is a ubuntu question | 09:45 |
| joyce | Yes, my question is - How can I upgrade my ubuntu kernel? | 09:45 |
| ceo_ | leagris, how step it ? can you give me step by step for do that... | 09:45 |
| soreau | joyce: The firewall in linux is iptables. More help in ##networking | 09:45 |
| joyce | I tried to apt-get install the latest version, it did not work | 09:46 |
| ceo_ | am need build library site for my work, and am love linux ubuntu couse this linux so easy (people say) please help me... to you step leagris | 09:46 |
| joyce | uname -r gives 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.pony4-1 | 09:46 |
| ccaggie05 | does anybody know how to go about trying to repair a Vista BSOD? I don't know what caused it...but for whatever reason all of a sudden I can't boot into Windows | 09:46 |
| UbuntuNoob | on the same note, when i try to extract the .rar i just downloaded it says archive type not supported. what would cause that? | 09:46 |
| ccaggie05 | but ubuntu still works fine | 09:47 |
| joyce | I have already tried 'apt-get install linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic' twice and rebooted | 09:47 |
| soreau | ccaggie05: try #windows | 09:47 |
| atlef | !rar | UbuntuNoob | 09:47 |
| ubottu | UbuntuNoob: 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 | 09:48 |
| soreau | UbuntuNoob: Maybe you need to install unrar | 09:48 |
| atlef | !p7zip | UbuntuNoob | 09:48 |
| soreau | atlef: fail | 09:48 |
| leagris | ceo_, I may not give you step by step here, its ubuntu support. You may like to read some Apache Doc and practice some important knowledge related to web hosting (FQDN, DNS, Apache setting and security, database administration, setting and security). Unless you have time and desire to learn all the mentioned, your best bet is finding some web hosting service and center your work on joumla as a web developer. | 09:48 |
| pylix | lol | 09:48 |
| soreau | atlef: You sould have stopped while you were ahead ;) | 09:48 |
| atlef | soreau, ? | 09:49 |
| UbuntuNoob | wouldnt it be able to extrct it automatically? ive unrar'd files before. any possibility it is a corrupter .rar or possible an .exe disguised as a .rar? potentially a windows virus> | 09:49 |
| joyce | So, can someone please tell me how to upgrade my ubuntu kernel? | 09:49 |
| soreau | joyce: On lucid 10.04, you should already have 2.6.32 by default | 09:50 |
| leagris | ceo_, I'd gladly help you but the topic of web hosting is very broad and very outside the scope of this #ubuntu community support channel | 09:50 |
| soreau | ! cookie | leagris | 09:50 |
| ubottu | leagris: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 09:51 |
| joyce | soreau: I had requested for a Ubuntu 10.04 server. Can you tell me how to confirm that I am on 10.04? | 09:51 |
| soreau | joyce: lsb_release -a | 09:51 |
| soreau | ! server | joyce | 09:51 |
| ubottu | joyce: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server | 09:51 |
| joyce | lsb_release: command not found | 09:52 |
| joyce | I tried to install it with apt-get but got coulnt't find package error | 09:52 |
| soreau | joyce: I am not familiar with ubuntu server edition. Maybe try #ubuntu-server or any of the links ubottu gave | 09:53 |
| joyce | When I try apt-get update, it shows Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com lucid-security/main Packages | 09:53 |
| joyce | So I am on 10.04 | 09:53 |
| joyce | thanks soreau | 09:53 |
| ceo_ | xampp that the best for webmaster ? | 09:54 |
| bazhang | !xampp | ceo_ | 09:54 |
| ubottu | ceo_: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 09:54 |
| ceo_ | are if i used ubuntu am need to install xampp to ? | 09:55 |
| ceo_ | oke | 09:55 |
| ceo_ | bazhang | 09:55 |
| bazhang | ceo_, no, xampp is not supported see above | 09:55 |
| Flannel | ceo_: LAMP is the preferred method | 09:55 |
| ceo_ | lamp oke right see this tutorial for joomla http://docs.joomla.org/Installing_Joomla_on_Debian_Linux | 09:55 |
| ceo_ | that recomend xampp | 09:55 |
| soreau | ! lamp | ceo_ | 09:55 |
| ubottu | ceo_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 09:55 |
| bazhang | ceo_, you are on debian? | 09:55 |
| soreau | ceo_: As previously mentioned, xampp is not supported here | 09:55 |
| ceo_ | lamp need premistion soreau and can't work welll | 09:56 |
| ceo_ | oke oke, lamp hwo used it well | 09:56 |
| soreau | ceo_: You need to read and learn how to use it | 09:56 |
| bazhang | ceo_, are you using debian? | 09:56 |
| ceo_ | couse am iinstall joomla the template can't load, am used ubuntu 10.10 | 09:56 |
| ceo_ | humf. also learn | 09:56 |
| ceo_ | ubuntu | 09:56 |
| ceo_ | am not used debia | 09:56 |
| ceo_ | debian* | 09:56 |
| bazhang | ceo_, then read the links above please | 09:56 |
| soreau | bazhang: He is on maverick (I helped him earlier in #compiz) | 09:57 |
| bazhang | soreau, ok | 09:57 |
| Flannel | ceo_: Looks like here's a guide for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joomla | 09:58 |
| ceo_ | oke oke | 09:58 |
| rly | How can I be 100% certain that a burned CD image is going to work? | 09:58 |
| rly | I have had bad experience with CD media. | 09:59 |
| bazhang | rly, you cant | 09:59 |
| Flannel | rly: read it back. | 09:59 |
| soreau | rly: You cant really. CDs are an unreliable form of media | 09:59 |
| Flannel | rly: (or MD5 it) | 09:59 |
| Blarumyrram | CDs are less likely to break than floppys in my experience | 09:59 |
| bazhang | rly, you can up the odds though by md5ing it | 09:59 |
| rly | Flannel: MD5 the device file? | 09:59 |
| Dr_Willis | going to work as a boot device in any of 100 difffernet machines? theres always the chanvce a machine may have a bad optical drive also. | 09:59 |
| soreau | rly: But it would help to check the md5sum of the image, and verify the data once its written to disk | 10:00 |
| Shapeshifter | Hi. I'm going to install alien to convert an rpm. How can I uninstall alien and all the dependencies it requires after I'm done with the conversion? | 10:00 |
| Flannel | rly: the mount. If this is an Ubuntu CD, you boot to it, then select "Verify this CD" (or whatever the verbage is nowadays) | 10:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Shapeshifter: sudo apt-get remove alien but why bother removeing it.. | 10:01 |
| soreau | Shapeshifter: apt-get remove --purge alien && apt-get autoremove | 10:01 |
| Shapeshifter | thanks. | 10:01 |
| rly | Is there a way to configure Ubuntu to be in 'ultra-low-maintenance'-mode? | 10:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Shapeshifter: converting an rpm i s going to give a lot more possible issues - then just having alien installed. :) | 10:01 |
| raven_ | terratec aureon 7.1 usb sound card supported? | 10:01 |
| Shapeshifter | Dr_Willis: server install, rather like to keep uneccessary packages out | 10:01 |
| Flannel | rly: What is "ultralow maintenance mode" | 10:01 |
| Shapeshifter | Dr_Willis: need some IBM packages, they only distribute rpm | 10:01 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis++ | 10:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Shapeshifter: shame on them. :) | 10:02 |
| Shapeshifter | Dr_Willis: for tape backup stuff | 10:02 |
| rly | I am installing Ubuntu for someone with less than stellar skills and I want them to have a hassle free computing experience (mostly browsing/email and possibly a virtual machine setup) | 10:02 |
| rly | The point being that it is relatively secure for them to browse the Internet, etc. | 10:02 |
| Dr_Willis | rly: if you install the LTS version the updates should be less common. and thus not as big a chance as updates breaking things. | 10:03 |
| Dr_Willis | depends on how you want to balance out 'security' (via updates) vs 'wont break' - get it working.. disable all updates.. lock everything down. | 10:03 |
| Sonja | pageup button doesnt work in gnome terminal? | 10:03 |
| rly | "New features" are absolutely _not_ interesting for these persons. It should just work for the next 5 years or so, possibly pressing an update button. If not 1000s of people already tried it, then they do not care. | 10:04 |
| Sonja | control-v is control-shift-v ? | 10:04 |
| soreau | Sonja: Try Shift+PgUp ? | 10:04 |
| Sonja | where do i edit these keyboard commands? | 10:04 |
| Dr_Willis | rly: stick with the LTS version then | 10:04 |
| Sonja | soreau: ahhh thanks. everything is so shifty :) | 10:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Sonja: pageup/down works here. :) but this is my IRC client in a gnome-terminal. | 10:04 |
| Sonja | yeah i meant teh shell | 10:04 |
| Dr_Willis | so if the terminal took the pageup/down keys.. that would break my irc client | 10:05 |
| Sonja | oh i see | 10:05 |
| herol3oy | i got a question about network manager? | 10:05 |
| soreau | ! ask | herol3oy | 10:05 |
| ubottu | herol3oy: 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. :-) | 10:05 |
| Sonja | i must get used to shifting :) | 10:05 |
| Sonja | !shift | 10:05 |
| herol3oy | how can i my network manager in ubuntu 10.10 | 10:05 |
| Sonja | !Xcompose | 10:05 |
| herol3oy | ? | 10:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Sonja: i think if you used screen you could remap the keys also | 10:05 |
| rly | Ok, on this particular device the sha1sum matches. | 10:05 |
| klausa_ | salve atutti | 10:05 |
| Dr_Willis | herol3oy: its installed by default.. what do you mean> | 10:06 |
| KKF | After using MD5SUM to see if I had a good download netbook remix of 10.10, I did. I reinstalled it on my netbook using my flash drive. Everything seemed to be fine till I booted it up again. Back to the same screen with a line blinking on the top left of the screen after the Dell boot screen. Anyone have any ideas on what I should try next? | 10:06 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: whats your video chipset? | 10:06 |
| soreau | KKF: Does it just sit there forever with a blinking cursor? or did you wait? | 10:07 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: the 'live system' worked from the flash drive? | 10:07 |
| KKF | The live system worked from the flash drive just fine. | 10:07 |
| KKF | It just sat there blinking for a good 5 minutes. | 10:07 |
| herol3oy | once I install Ubuntu 10.10 i have got a icon at very top of the screen then I could able to find a wireless network but now it is not there? now I really don't know how can I make it apear again? | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: sounds like its some sort of grub issue perhaps. You could reboot to the live system, and try reinstalling grub. | 10:08 |
| soreau | KKF: Does it get past the grub loader? | 10:08 |
| Dr_Willis | herol3oy: try running 'nm-applet' perhaps. | 10:08 |
| KKF | What is grub? And how do I reinstall it? It just barely gets past the dell boot screen with the options of setup boot press 2 and boot options press 0. I am on a dell mini 9. | 10:09 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: this is a dual booting machine? windows and Ubuntu? Grub is the 'boot menu' that lets you pick what OS to use. Power on -> bios screen (with the hit F2 for options and so on) --> GRUB (menu list of windows, linux, other os's) -> actually boots the OS. | 10:10 |
| KKF | It is a single boot machine. | 10:10 |
| KKF | I did the earse partition and install bit | 10:10 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: so the GRUB menu mayu be getting hidden and its booting into linuix by default. | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | power on -> bios screen -> grub (hidden on single OS systems) -> linux | 10:11 |
| KKF | just not booting at all sadly :( | 10:11 |
| soreau | KKF: What gpu is it? | 10:11 |
| Dr_Willis | I hate how it hides the grub menu by default on just Linux setups. | 10:12 |
| KKF | http://www.dell.com/us/dfh/p/inspiron-mini9/pd | 10:12 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis: I hate how they switched from esc to shift, to show the menu | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | soreau: yep. they need to make it ANY key show the menu | 10:12 |
| herol3oy | i found a picture to show u it!!! >>> http://cherknevis.ir/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/ubuntu-restart-network-manger.jpg | 10:12 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis: Aye, thats a stellar idea | 10:13 |
| herol3oy | I want that icon to come back again! | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | herol3oy: did you try running 'nm-applet' from a terminal ? | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | herol3oy: or alt-f2 and run nm-applet | 10:13 |
| princo | whats some cool things to do on ubuntu? | 10:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanel | herol3oy | 10:13 |
| ubottu | herol3oy: To reset the GNOME panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 10:13 |
| DaveQB | Is anyone here handy with recovering ext4? Is Ted here? :) | 10:14 |
| KKF | how do I hide everyone loggin in and out of irc on the webclient? | 10:14 |
| herol3oy | wow! thanks guys. now I got it! merc | 10:14 |
| ActionParsnip | DaveQB: use your backups | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: depends on which webclient. I dont use any of the web irc clkients | 10:14 |
| KKF | oh well... so whats the next step guys? What do I do now? | 10:14 |
| Dr_Willis | DaveQB: recvovering from what sort of problem. | 10:14 |
| DaveQB | Its my girlfriends brothers system. New to Ubuntu | 10:14 |
| KKF | I am reinstalling it again but taking out sd card. | 10:15 |
| DaveQB | Dr_Willis: Trying to run fsck on it says the FS is mounted or in use | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: You can reinstall grub.. without reinstalling the whole system | 10:15 |
| DaveQB | But it is not | 10:15 |
| KKF | How do I do that? | 10:15 |
| DaveQB | We have tried with a LiveCD, Ubuntu 10.10 and systemrescueCD | 10:15 |
| DaveQB | Same deal | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DaveQB: you may find the files if you use foremost. I assume by recovery that the data is not reading right and some "important" files are missing | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: first step.. reboot and tap the SHIFT key as its booting. see if you can get a GRUB menuy to show up | 10:15 |
| ActionParsnip | DaveQB: am I in the right ballpark? | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | DaveQB: mount command says its not? dmesg gives any error messages? | 10:16 |
| === paissad_ is now known as paissad | ||
| DaveQB | ActionParsnip: No, can't mount due to it saying it is mounted Dr_Willis yes, check /proc/mounts | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: if you cant even get to a GRUB menu. You can reinstall grub. | 10:16 |
| DaveQB | I managed to gain access to the FS with debugfs tool | 10:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !fixgrub | KKF | 10:16 |
| ubottu | KKF: 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) | 10:16 |
| DaveQB | Which is a good sign it is there | 10:16 |
| soreau | KKF: Have you tried booting with nomodeset option? | 10:16 |
| MaRk-I | KKF: you say you get 2 options at boot, setup boot and boot options, have you tried those? | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | DaveQB: if its mounted then run: mount to see where it'smounted | 10:16 |
| DaveQB | There is a bug for e2fsprogs 1.41.12 up on launchpad | 10:16 |
| DaveQB | ActionParsnip: No not mounted, not listed in /proc/mounts and mount -l| grep sda1 does not list it | 10:17 |
| Dr_Willis | DaveQB: the other day i used dd_rescue (or was it ddrescue) to dd a hd to a file (took 3 days) and mounted the file and recovered some stuff :) | 10:17 |
| KKF | one is setup the other is boot options | 10:17 |
| DaveQB | We have tried with e2fsprogs 1.41.14 though, which I thought would work, but same deal :( | 10:17 |
| KKF | i am coming from windows 7 | 10:17 |
| tuhin | HDD1 have Winxp+win7, HDD2 have various linux + GRUB 2, how to make GRUB have the winxp+win7 in HDD1 added as boot options? | 10:17 |
| DaveQB | Dr_Willis: hmmm that might be an avenue, thanks for the thought | 10:17 |
| KKF | i guess I will try the restore grub | 10:17 |
| KKF | Thank you for the help so far guys | 10:18 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: those sound like BIOS options.. not part of the OS. those are befor the grub thing even is supposed to be loading. | 10:18 |
| DaveQB | I can't force it fsck or mount, the cheeky thing | 10:18 |
| Dr_Willis | DaveQB: be sure to use a log file for ddrescue :) and check its docs first | 10:18 |
| KKF | They are dr. | 10:18 |
| DaveQB | I haven't faced this in 10 years of Linux dealings myself. | 10:18 |

| DaveQB | But seems the same result using 1.41.14 though :( | 10:19 |
| DaveQB | SystemrescueCD has 1.41.14 but says it is mounted still. | 10:19 |
| KKF | So turn off the quick start? | 10:19 |
| MaRk-I | KKF: is it enabled? | 10:19 |

| herol3oy | you know I want to have a ssh access because I have a presentation in my class about SSH but I don't know how can i find a free ssh account? | 10:24 |
| nameless` | herol3oy: why don't you use one from your own | 10:25 |
| herol3oy | how? | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | herol3oy: You can set up ssh on a licve cd if you watend to just play with it. | 10:25 |
| MaRk-I | herol3oy: search google for free shell accounts | 10:25 |
| herol3oy | how it is possible? | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | herol3oy: or once you got a working ubuntu system. You can install the openssh server. | 10:25 |

| tuhin | Dr_Willis , and MaRk-I thanks :) , btw what is os-prober and what it will do | 10:29 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: os-prober is that part of grub that scans and adds other os's to the grub menu | 10:30 |
| MaRk-I | tuhin: first try the grub update | 10:30 |
| tuhin | so whats the difference | 10:30 |
| buntfalke | hi | 10:30 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: update-grub runs os-prober by defauilt from the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober script | 10:30 |
| buntfalke | How to reduce the number of kernel images left installed on natty? | 10:30 |
| Dr_Willis | buntfalke: you could remove the old ones. | 10:31 |
| buntfalke | Yeah, no. Not seriously. | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | via the package manager.. | 10:31 |
| buntfalke | I'm not gonna remove them every goddamn time. | 10:31 |
| buntfalke | Where's the /etc-file with the number of max. images kept installed? | 10:31 |
| MaRk-I | buntfalke: remove them with synaptic or apt-get, and support for natty in #ubuntu+1 | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | buntfalke: clairfy what you mean then... if a kernel is installed.. it gets added.. the grub settings have a show max # of kernels i recall. | 10:31 |
| Kriss-|- | greetings, how do i make konqueror the default filemanager in ubuntu 10.10 ? | 10:32 |
| buntfalke | manual removal is not a solution. it's a (ugly) workaround. | 10:32 |
| mrwes | anyway to turn off joins and departs in Pidgin? | 10:32 |
| Toffe | Hello | 10:32 |
| whelp | hi | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis | buntfalke: so you just want to not show them.. even tho you could have 20 of them taking up space? | 10:32 |
| Toffe | Under ubuntu i do Netstat and get "Active Internet connections (w/o servers)" | 10:32 |
| whelp | nice | 10:32 |
| tuhin | how big is the /boot partition buntfalke , Dr_Willis , MaRk-I ? | 10:32 |

| Toffe | tcp 0 0 temp.unknown.no:40920 itssa.ircusers.hos:ircd ESTABLISHED | 10:33 |
| buntfalke | Dr_Willis: I want it to aptitude purge the old ones automagically, and only keep N (eg 3) kernels installed | 10:33 |
| Toffe | like what the heck is that? | 10:33 |
| tomekh | hi. yesterday i did 'apt-get autoremove' (there was list of ~15 packages to remove). apt-get "selected" these packages to be removed, but _didn't_ remove them. how can I force apt-get to remove these packages? | 10:33 |
| whelp | guys, anyone tried BTRFS yet? | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: you dont really need a /boot/ parittion these days.. it could be as small as perhaps 200mb.. (but i use much bigger like 1gb) becuase i keep iso omages there as a rescue option | 10:33 |
| buntfalke | MaRk-I: thanks | 10:33 |
| mrwes | tomekh: use purge | 10:33 |
| mrwes | tomekh: apt-get purge | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis | buntfalke: never seen an option to automatically do that. | 10:33 |
| whelp | Dr_Willis: how you can boot without it? | 10:34 |
| Dr_Willis | whelp: you have /boot/ on your / partition OR you can have a seperate /boot/ partition | 10:35 |
| tuhin | thats a good idea Dr_Willis ! buntfalke and MaRk-I whats ur /boot size? | 10:35 |
| whelp | i heard you cant boot from big partition, something like 2 TB max | 10:35 |
| whelp | didnt tried it myself though | 10:35 |

| tomekh | mrwes: purge did not help | 10:36 |
| buntfalke | tuhin: I dont know -- I dont care either: /boot is in the / partition here, but 10 kernels is seven too much :-) | 10:36 |
| Dr_Willis | whelp: never tried btrfs yet. | 10:36 |
| mrwes | tomekh: did you use apt-get purge <packagename> | 10:36 |
| tuhin | ah ic | 10:36 |
| whelp | i was thinking to make a raid-5 -like thing, not sure what FS should I use | 10:36 |
| tuhin | i thought my 160MB EXT2 /boot is too much | 10:36 |
| Dr_Willis | btrfs was the big deal it seems.. now you dont hear it mentioned much any more.. not sure what happened to it., | 10:36 |
| whelp | ZFS could be nice, but i heard its not stable in linux | 10:36 |
| tomekh | mrwes: yes, let me pastebin it | 10:37 |

| tomekh | mrwes: ^ | 10:37 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: You may not have a /boot/ parittion. if so its just the boot directory on your installed systems 'root' of the filesystem | 10:37 |
| tuhin | Dr_Willis: which iso u have in /boot as rescue option? and how did u set that in grub | 10:38 |
| mrwes | tomekh: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | KKF: if your installes system is mounted to /media/THEDISK it would be /media/THEDISK/boot | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: i have a dozen isos setup. I followed some grub2 guides on booting ISO files and added custome entryes to /etc/grub.d/40_custom for them. | 10:38 |
| tomekh | mrwes: i just removed pidgin by 'apt-get remove --purge pidgin*', nextly i have tried to do 'apt-get autoremove' as apt-get said, without any effect. packages that were should be removed are still installed | 10:38 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: ive also made bootable flash drivges that use grub2 and boot iso images fromt eh flash disk | 10:39 |

| mman | princo, and also check if the firewall from windows is open for vnc port | 10:43 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: one way 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' that will show, but be carefull it may let you install it to other HD's you got plugged in. | 10:43 |

| Ben64 | Dr_Willis: the actual 4g spec was decided arbitrarily and a very high number, which they are considering changing because its ridiculous. verizon and sprint actually made new networks, hence 4g - 4th generation. at&t started calling their 3g 4g | 10:51 |
| pksadiq | 240 kbps connection cost almost ~2$ per month here in India | 10:51 |

| Dr_Willis | the owner needs write permissions. of course. :) | 11:14 |
| Empyrium | If I install 11.04 beta now, will I have to reinstall after the official release comes out on the 28th? | 11:14 |
| jiltdil | Dr_willis:mman:ok | 11:14 |
| mman | jiltdil, and the user has to be either the owner or in the group owner | 11:14 |
| atlef | Empyrium, no | 11:14 |
| Empyrium | atlef: thanks | 11:14 |
| Empyrium | Will I have to do anything at the time of the release or apt-get update;apt-get upgrade will take care of everything? | 11:15 |
| atlef | Empyrium, just keep it up to date and you are fine | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | !update | 11:16 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Empyrium: often its better to do clean reinstalls :) | 11:17 |
| pksadiq | !beta | Empyrium | 11:18 |
| ubottu | Empyrium: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Natty and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 11.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. | 11:18 |
| Homely_Girl | Hello Brainy ones! How do I find out which usb port my wireless mouse is on? | 11:18 |
| mman | Homely_Girl, try hwls | 11:18 |
| mman | sorry lshw | 11:19 |
| Homely_Girl | mman, I just look like I know a lot, I don't! lol What is hwls? | 11:20 |
| mman | Homely_Girl, why do you want to see the port of the wireless mouse? | 11:20 |
| soreau | Homely_Girl: lshw = list hardware | 11:20 |
| * Dr_Willis looks in theback of his pc.. and sees wher the mouse is plugged in at. .:) | 11:22 | |
| Homely_Girl | mman, if I leave my pc 'n turn the monitor off 'n sometimes randomly my mouse stops working 'n I have to press the button on the transmitter 'n then on my mouse! Is a wireless usb mouse. A geekish friend found an article covering this problem 'n a file needs editing....and woosh I'm out of my depth! lol | 11:22 |
| === Milos_ is now known as Milossh | ||
| Dr_Willis | sounds like the mouse is going to sleep. or somthing. and disconnecting. | 11:23 |
| soreau | power save problems, yay | 11:23 |
| sheikra | hey, I just installed ubuntu 10.10 x86 on my thinkpad T60, but the screen starts to jitter after a while, any ideas? | 11:23 |
| mman | Homely_Girl, i have a wireless keyboard, and normally i have to press any key so that it wakes up and it works again | 11:23 |
| soreau | power management seems to cause more problems than the amount of power it actually saves | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive seen solar-powered wireless keyboards the otehr day :) | 11:24 |
| iTails|netbook | soreau, works fine here | 11:24 |
| mickster04 | Dr_Willis: logitech | 11:24 |
| soreau | iTails|netbook: What does? | 11:24 |
| iTails|netbook | soreau, power management | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | They need one that takes power from keypresses :) | 11:24 |
| Homely_Girl | mman, the mouse won't wake my screen up, I press any key 'n mouse won't work. As I said this is a known problem 'n hopefully now I know lshw I can fix it in editing this file. :) | 11:24 |
| soreau | sheikra: Having any earthquakes lately? 'cause that'll cause it to jitter | 11:25 |
| soreau | iTails|netbook: I just mean in general for any device | 11:25 |
| sheikra | soreau: hmm ... | 11:25 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis: YES. | 11:25 |
| erry | nobody has any ideas? | 11:25 |
| soreau | Dr_Willis: And from the heat of your palms | 11:25 |
| sheikra | soreau: maybe because of nuclear radiation from japan? | 11:26 |
| mman | Homely_Girl, which file are u editing? well with lshw will show you the hardware that you have in you pc, so just search for a line that says someting with usb and wirless mouse or something similar | 11:26 |
| soreau | sheikra: Might've been some solar flares this week, who knows | 11:26 |
| Dr_Willis | soreau: heat sinks that take power from teh CPU and warm up your coffee! :) | 11:26 |
| sheikra | soreau: but windows didn't do that ;-) | 11:26 |
| phibxr | Dr_Willis, i wonder how much friction the key presses must generate to power a laptop. :P | 11:26 |
| Homely_Girl | mman, I have a link to a forum telling me wot to do...will follow it. | 11:26 |
| soreau | sheikra: Probably a graphics driver issue then. Which do you use? | 11:27 |
| Dr_Willis | phibxr: get one of those 'drinking' birds that dip its head up/down and use it to power everything. | 11:27 |
| sheikra | soreau: mobility radeon i think | 11:27 |
| mman | Homely_Girl, ok | 11:27 |
| sheikra | soreau: X1300 | 11:27 |
| soreau | sheikra: Which version of ubuntu? | 11:27 |
| Homely_Girl | mman, Thanks for you help. :) | 11:27 |
| phibxr | Dr_Willis, :D | 11:27 |
| mman | Homely_Girl, ;) | 11:27 |
| sheikra | soreau: 10.10 32-bit | 11:28 |
| pksadiq | helping????? ;) | 11:28 |
| sheikra | soreau: should I use the factory drivers? | 11:28 |
| raven_ | terratec aureon 7.1 usb sound card supported? | 11:28 |
| soreau | sheikra: 'Factory drivers'? | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | raven_: best way to find out - is get a live cd and test it. | 11:29 |
| Name141 | is it possible to see your temps/fan speed from a live CD or flash disk? | 11:29 |
| Name141 | flash drive* | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | raven_: usb sound cards are often problematic | 11:29 |
| raven_ | Dr_Willis, i ask before i buy it | 11:29 |
| soreau | sheikra: If by factory drivers you mean fglrx, then no. The proprietary driver hasn't supported your card for a couple years now | 11:29 |
| sheikra | soreau: I mean .. the drivers from ATI | 11:29 |
| === james is now known as Guest13553 | ||
| sheikra | soreau: oh, I hate ati | 11:29 |
| mman | Name141, most probably, dont know any program now that can do that, but im most probably sure you can | 11:29 |
| Dr_Willis | raven_: check the forums in that case. i see quiet a few usb-sound card issues in here every month. | 11:29 |
| sheikra | soreau: I'm officially abandoned | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | raven_: theres the HCL also. but its often not as up to date | 11:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !hcl | 11:30 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 11:30 |
| soreau | sheikra: Instead, you should upgrade your kernel and userspace by installing.. a newer kernel (from a ppa) and xorg-edgers repo (also a ppa) | 11:30 |
| mman | Name141, just find a program that does that and thats it | 11:30 |
| raven_ | Dr_Willis, ok | 11:30 |
| === pierre__ is now known as lordbanana25 | ||
| sheikra | soreau: not sure what are "ppa" and "xorg-edgers" | 11:31 |
| Name141 | such as ? | 11:31 |
| soreau | sheikra: Alright, let me get you some commands to try | 11:31 |
| pksadiq | Name141: does the command sensors work? | 11:32 |
| sheikra | soreau: thanks | 11:32 |
| mman | Name141, just found a program 'xensors' in the ubuntu software center | 11:32 |
| kingofswords | what is the package that installs 32bit programs on a 64bit ubuntu | 11:32 |
| kingofswords | is it lsb-core? | 11:33 |
| Name141 | yeah sensors work | 11:34 |
| mman | Name141, yup, with command sensors it gives you a temp, (dont know which one dough) but guess its cpu temp, with xsensors you get even voltage and spead of fan | 11:34 |
| natrixnatrix89 | How do i search for files if i'm on xubuntu? | 11:34 |
| natrixnatrix89 | is there a command in terminal | 11:34 |
| natrixnatrix89 | ? | 11:34 |
| Name141 | how would I figure out if the machine knows how much ram there is ? | 11:34 |
| narcislinux | how can i convert pc to bluetooth headset for my cell phone ? | 11:34 |
| natrixnatrix89 | to scan a directory? | 11:34 |
| sheikra | soreau: maybe I should upgrade to 11.04? | 11:35 |
| natrixnatrix89 | narcislinux: help.ubuntu.com | 11:35 |
| soreau | sheikra: Yes, after its release | 11:35 |
| Name141 | I mean is there a command I can use ? | 11:35 |
| pksadiq | natrixnatrix89: do find <directory to search> | grep <what you need> | 11:35 |
| soreau | sheikra: Here is how to install xorg-edgers: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade | 11:35 |
| sheikra | soreau: the update manager told me it's released? | 11:35 |
| natrixnatrix89 | pksadiq: thanks! | 11:35 |
| buff27 | you can goto 11.04 now...... i have | 11:35 |
| Name141 | cat /proc/meminfo ? | 11:36 |
| soreau | sheikra: To undo it: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge && sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers | 11:36 |
| mman | buff27, but its not the official one | 11:36 |
| mman | buff27, not the final release | 11:36 |
| buff27 | i know........ but good enough for me | 11:36 |
| narcislinux | natrixnatrix89: i sould find there ?but where ? | 11:36 |
| p1n9v1n | 28th of april would be final | 11:36 |
| sheikra | soreau: thanks so much! do I need a new kernel? | 11:37 |
| buff27 | already waitin in #ubuntu-release-party | 11:37 |
| soreau | sheikra: And for your kernel, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-daily/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade (might need to install the kernel package manually after adding this) | 11:37 |
| soreau | sheikra: And to undo it: sudo ppa-purge gwibber-daily | 11:38 |
| narcislinux | :/ | 11:38 |
| jiltdil | how to check permission in numbers | 11:38 |
| sheikra | soreau: I'll try the driver first | 11:38 |
| soreau | sheikra: Well the main part of the driver is in the kernel. The userspace stuff does 2/3D on X | 11:39 |
| natrixnatrix89 | narcislinux: 1. sec ill help you.. | 11:39 |
| sheikra | soreau: so ... I have to get a new kernel? | 11:40 |
| jiltdil | Dr_willis:it has wrx permission | 11:40 |
| Name141 | is there a program I can use to 'stress' the machine ? | 11:40 |
| soreau | sheikra: No, you can try just adding xorg-edgers and see if it fixes it | 11:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Name141: i saw some stresstest disrto just the other day at disrtowatch web site. :) | 11:40 |
| soreau | sheikra: It will install the gallium driver so you will have opengl2.1 support | 11:40 |
| sheikra | soreau: I'll see. Thanks | 11:40 |
| pksadiq | jiltdil: in rwx consider is as 111 = 7 in binary for r-- it is 100=5 in rw- its 110=6 etc | 11:41 |
| sheikra | soreau: will apt-get automatically switch the configuration to the new driver? | 11:41 |
| soreau | sheikra: For xorg-edgers, yes | 11:41 |
| natrixnatrix89 | narcislinux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset | 11:41 |
| sheikra | soreau: I'll try. | 11:42 |
| jiltdil | Dr_willis:i gave the permisson to the home director of taht user of 755 | 11:43 |
| sheikra | sheikra: maybe I should downgrade to 10.04. It didn't have this problem ;-) | 11:43 |
| jiltdil | Dr_willis:but still using that username to ftp it is saying 500 OOPS: cannot change directory:/home/amit | 11:44 |
| soreau | sheikra: That gwibber repo might not be the best solution for a newer kernel though as its a daily build, so it could be broken (more often) | 11:44 |
| soreau | sheikra: But the idea is to get a newer kernel and userspace to see if it fixes the problem | 11:44 |
| dejan_ | why I can't find *.pid files with search for files.. application in gnome | 11:44 |
| dejan_ | there is file apache2.pid but it can't find it with the application why> | 11:44 |

| dejan_ | Applications>accesories | 11:45 |
| soreau | dejan_: try locate *.pid from terminal | 11:45 |
| dejan_ | how | 11:46 |
| dejan_ | :S | 11:46 |
| soreau | ! terminal | dejan_ | 11:46 |
| ubottu | dejan_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 11:46 |
| dejan_ | soreau, what is the command | 11:46 |
| soreau | ! locate | dejan_ | 11:46 |
| ubottu | dejan_: locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb | 11:46 |
| dejan_ | ok | 11:46 |
| narcislinux1 | natrixnatrix89: tq | 11:47 |
| soreau | dejan_: Or you can use find like this: find /var/run/ -name *.pid | 11:47 |
| dejan_ | soreau, it finds only one file | 11:47 |
| dejan_ | but there are more with extension .pid | 11:47 |
| === NG_ is now known as ng_ | ||

| soreau | dejan_: What about find /var/run/ -name *.pid -print ? | 11:47 |
| natrixnatrix89 | you just install padevchooser | 11:47 |
| natrixnatrix89 | and then set the default sink to your bt headset | 11:48 |
| dejan_ | sudo find / -name *.pid -print ? | 11:49 |

| dejan_ | its asme without sudo | 11:49 |
| dejan_ | same* | 11:49 |
| soreau | dejan_: The ? was at the end of my question, not part of the command | 11:49 |
| llutz | dejan_: find / -name '*.pid' | 11:49 |
| soreau | dejan_: Never use sudo or run as root unless you know *why* you need to | 11:50 |

| dejan_ | look | 11:50 |
| llutz | dejan_: escape the * | 11:50 |
| dejan_ | its ok | 11:50 |

| soreau | ! backtrack | somethinghere | 12:04 |
| ubottu | somethinghere: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| somethinghere | well that doesnt really help >.> | 12:04 |
| somethinghere | does anyone have a real answer for this? | 12:05 |
| soreau | somethinghere: try /join #backtrack-linux | 12:05 |
| Dr_Willis | somethinghere: virtualbox uses a fake network - toi access the host machines network. it wouldent access the wireless card directly | 12:05 |
| mickster04 | dude that tells you where you can get help... | 12:05 |
| soreau | somethinghere: Yea, its not going to see your real hardware in a virtual machine | 12:06 |
| Dr_Willis | trackback = BackTrack Linux? | 12:06 |
| somethinghere | yeah except i have been there and they tell me to search the net... of corse nothing there helps | 12:06 |
| herol3oy | so this shell.cjb.net doesn't allow me to make a access to my account? | 12:06 |
| somethinghere | figured someone here would know | 12:06 |
| ubuntu | hey | 12:06 |
| nameless` | somethinghere: i guess you should ask to virtualbox developpers. Did you check the virtual box option ? | 12:06 |
| herol3oy | here it is the err: bind: Address already in use channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 9999 Could not request local forwarding. | 12:06 |
| Dr_Willis | somethinghere: virtualbox dont access the wireless directly.. it access the virtual network.. | 12:06 |
| Dr_Willis | somethinghere: virtualboxc can access usb devioces directly. but i think thats about it. | 12:07 |
| somethinghere | i know that a virtual machine wont let the guest veiw the hardware, but there must be a way around this | 12:07 |
| phil42 | good morning|afternoon|evening|night | 12:07 |
| Dr_Willis | somethinghere: a way around what excazctly? Its not going to tell you what hardware is on the real machine. except in special cases. | 12:07 |
| somethinghere | yeah, and you have to jump through so many rings for that | 12:07 |
| herol3oy | now answer? | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | USB - not to hard really. once ya read the docs. :) but i rarely need that feature these days | 12:08 |
| somethinghere | i just need to be able to scan for wireless networks | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | somethinghere: then you need to do so on the actual MAchine. Not in vbox. | 12:08 |
| mickster04 | herol3oy: nope try a different port | 12:08 |
| soreau | somethinghere: Try actually installing linux so that it can use your machine | 12:08 |
| Dr_Willis | once the host connects.. the vbox machine can access the network . | 12:08 |
| iceroot | somethinghere: depending on the vm-technic you are using you see the real hardware | 12:08 |

| erry | mickster04, http://i52.tinypic.com/2q0k5mu.jpg http://i56.tinypic.com/2qjm689.jpg | 12:11 |
| mickster04 | soreau: damn, that sounds like a memory issue | 12:11 |
| tom_fritter | oh well | 12:11 |
| herol3oy | no i don't know any other port? | 12:11 |
| herol3oy | you know one? | 12:11 |
| nameless` | herol3oy: just pick up a random one | 12:11 |
| mickster04 | herol3oy: 22 is the default, have you tried with that? | 12:11 |
| nameless` | herol3oy: from 1000 to 65535 | 12:11 |
| herol3oy | something like 172 | 12:11 |
| nameless` | mickster04: no | 12:11 |
| nameless` | mickster04: that's not a good idea | 12:12 |
| soreau | mickster04: Yea, my memories are all horrible | 12:12 |
| nameless` | herol3oy: try with 8888 | 12:12 |
| herol3oy | ok let me try | 12:12 |
| jitaroo | mickster04: its a continuous beep, the only time i heard it before was when i put in an incompatable ram, but i don't think thats the issue, cause i can get into the live disk | 12:12 |
| mickster04 | nameless`: what? ssh is escure? | 12:12 |
| mickster04 | jitaroo: how much ram does it show? | 12:12 |
| soreau | nameless`: 1024 | 12:12 |
| herol3oy | can u do it for me? if i give u the pass word...it's a free account? :D | 12:12 |
| jitaroo | mickster04 gimmie a sec to check | 12:12 |
| nameless` | mickster04: no, he is trying to set up a local proxy (-D) in order to pass his application traffic through a secure ssh tunnel | 12:13 |
| nameless` | mickster04: picking port 22 as the local proxy port and he will have to run his application with sudo | 12:13 |
| mickster04 | nameless`: oh, well i have never had success with that :/ so i'll leave that to you | 12:13 |
| mickster04 | nameless`: i didn't get that | 12:13 |
| nameless` | mickster04: it's very simple | 12:13 |
| mickster04 | nameless`: as in i didn't spot that | 12:13 |
| delac | trying to connect with wlan to unencrypted AP. Driver is iwl3945. But it just gives: http://paste.ubuntu.com/597812/ Any thoughts? | 12:13 |
| jitaroo | mickster04 it shows 2816. I've got 4gb in there and theres an integrated graphics card too | 12:14 |
| marel | Is Django Book outdated or I will be fine if I read it ? | 12:14 |
| soreau | delac: broadcom? | 12:14 |
| nameless` | herol3oy: just try this : ssh -D 9999 sh3er@shell.cjb.net | 12:14 |
| jrib | marel: ask #django | 12:14 |
| jitaroo | mickster04 but i installed the ram about a month ago and was running ubuntu fine. the only thing thats different now is that i'm using a 2tb wd drive that has 64mb cache | 12:14 |
| herol3oy | ok let me try | 12:14 |
| delac | soreau: is iwl3945 broadcom? I'm not sure... | 12:14 |
| nameless` | herol3oy: and even if its a free account, it's probably register to your name and you probably not want to share your password, i'm just telling you :) | 12:14 |
| mickster04 | jitaroo: uhm... wel i dunno then. sounds like something has died, but i couldn't tell you what. google post beeps <your brand mobo here> | 12:15 |
| mickster04 | jitaroo: that wouldn | 12:15 |
| mickster04 | t cause a post beep i don't think | 12:15 |
| delac | soreau: I gues it something from Intel, so not broadcom | 12:15 |
| nameless` | herol3oy: i guess you are trying to bypass the iran firewall ? | 12:15 |
| marel | Oh crap | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless there was some bad cable/controller | 12:15 |
| herol3oy | no it's ok | 12:15 |
| herol3oy | i don't care | 12:15 |
| herol3oy | it's all fake id and email and everything | 12:16 |
| fishhat | hello :) | 12:16 |
| jitaroo | mickster04 ok thanks anyways. i booted from the live disk and ubuntu read the drive ok and the SMART test said the drive was ok | 12:16 |
| herol3oy | yes i'm from Iran! | 12:16 |
| fishhat | whats fake i want in on this :D | 12:16 |
| soreau | delac: That pastebin does show anything, not even the command that gave that output | 12:16 |
| nameless` | herol3oy: is the command line works ? | 12:16 |
| soreau | delac: What is the AP name? | 12:16 |

| jitaroo | mickster04 do you think setting teh bios back from achi to sata would make a difference? i really dont want to do that because that was the only way i got my esata working | 12:19 |
| fishhat | can someone have me something to do ? | 12:19 |
| acnot | Say how do I stop Ubuntu 10.10 from going to a black screen and locking me out after a few minutes? | 12:19 |

| herol3oy | now i'm trying 8888 | 12:19 |
| seth__ | good morning | 12:19 |
| iceroot | christopherbingh: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 12:19 |
| phil42 | acnot: try the vesa x driver instead of whatever you have now | 12:20 |
| christopherbingh | done that but it stays at rel 20 | 12:20 |
| iceroot | !info sun-java6-jre | 12:20 |
| ubottu | Package sun-java6-jre does not exist in maverick | 12:20 |
| herol3oy | nameless`: i tried 8888 >>> Could not request local forwarding. | 12:20 |
| phil42 | or disable your screensaver | 12:20 |
| mickster04 | jitaroo: sorry i dunno, tru it, but i gotta go | 12:20 |
| herol3oy | nameless`: wanna you try | 12:20 |
| seth__ | I was wondering if someone could help a newbi bios security on 10.10 install | 12:20 |
| nameless` | herol3oy: look your privmsg | 12:20 |
| iceroot | christopherbingh: run "sudo apt-get update" first | 12:20 |
| eXscalate | hey guys, i yesterday already asked the same question but couldnt find a solution... yesterday suddenly out of nothing the sound from my built in laptop speakers stopped working and ever since i couldnt get it back to work... the thing is that if i plug in headphones, the sound works just fine, its only not working if i plug them out again. does someone maybe have an idea, because i am really going desperate... | 12:21 |
| DirtyDawg | seth__: best advice : just ask your Q, someone may be able to help | 12:21 |
| acnot | And I have already set the put the display to sleep in power management | 12:21 |
| christopherbingh | did the update command | 12:21 |
| Dr_Willis | eXscalate: ive heard of others that have sound in only speakers, or headphone issues. but ive never seen a definate fix. the forum may have some things to try. | 12:22 |
| christopherbingh | I don't think maverick has rel 24 | 12:22 |
| iceroot | http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/hardy/sun-java6-jre | 12:22 |
| acnot | phil42: You mean that I can not use the ATI driver? | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | eXscalate: it could be somthing real trivial if it used to work. like a user setting. You tried making a new user and seeing if it workjs for them? | 12:22 |
| eXscalate | Dr_Willis: yes... i already checked several pages on forums but i am also not a real linux pro so i do not always understand what they want from me | 12:22 |
| seth__ | lost my security setting and now cant boot said my bios-nx is set rong who do i reset it? | 12:22 |
| iceroot | !info oracle-java6-jre | 12:23 |
| ubottu | Package oracle-java6-jre does not exist in maverick | 12:23 |
| eXscalate | Dr_Willis: the thing is that the logon screen also doesnt make any sound anymore, which it used to do... so i dont think it can be solved by creating a new user | 12:23 |
| Dr_Willis | seth__: what security settings? You mean your bios password? | 12:23 |
| phil42 | acnot: you can use it if it not causing your problem, i suggest that you test by disabling all power management and screensavers | 12:23 |
| soreau | acnot: sys>prefs>screensaver (uncheck lock screen there) | 12:23 |
| seth__ | not sure it wont let me boot | 12:23 |
| soreau | acnot: Also see power management settings | 12:23 |
| Dr_Willis | seth__: you cant even get to the BIOS screens? | 12:23 |
| seth__ | under ubuntu 10.10 | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | bios - befor the os even starts to load. | 12:24 |
| seth__ | not sure how | 12:24 |
| seth__ | can get there | 12:24 |
| iceroot | christopherbingh: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/sun-java6/6.24-1build0.10.10.1 | 12:24 |
| iceroot | christopherbingh: 6.24 is in the partner-repo | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | seth__: what exactly is saying that bios-nx is wrong? | 12:24 |
| eeriks | Hello | 12:25 |
| seth__ | as the os loads | 12:25 |
| Dr_Willis | seth__: so itis 'booting' its just failing to boot all the way to the desktop | 12:25 |
| acnot | Also I would love to know how to permanently turn off the "Keep Aligned" option on the desktop? | 12:25 |
| seth__ | yes | 12:25 |
| iceroot | christopherbingh: enable that repo and update your java-installation | 12:25 |
| Dr_Willis | seth__: check your bios settings. see if theres a 'nx' setting in there. | 12:25 |
| seth__ | if not | 12:25 |
| fishhat | can some plz have me something to do i just got done with some mean work :D | 12:26 |
| acnot | phil42: Oh silly me I forgot about the screen saver setting, thanks! | 12:26 |
| phil42 | fishat: come here and clean my house | 12:26 |
| phil42 | np | 12:26 |
| fishhat | phil42, i can't even keep my room clean with all these computer parts : D | 12:27 |
| fishhat | its even in my car. | 12:27 |
| eeriks | i have a question regarding wireless networkReceiver, what brands is usable with Ndiswrapper ?? | 12:27 |
| phil42 | the world is drowning is computer parts and paper money | 12:27 |
| phil42 | *in | 12:27 |
| iceroot | eeriks: you should look for devices which runs native ad not with ndiswrapper | 12:28 |
| fishhat | my walls are even computer parts :D | 12:28 |
| atlef | why is the kvm, kvm_amd modules loaded by default in ubuntu, it created problems with virtualbox not being able to run 64bit guests | 12:28 |
| iceroot | !ot | fishhat phil42 | 12:28 |
| ubottu | fishhat phil42: #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! | 12:28 |

| Abhijit | hi | 12:29 |
| iceroot | atlef: vt-x enabled in vbox? | 12:29 |
| fishhat | what do you mean? | 12:29 |
| eeriks | yes, but the program is for windows so i ned ndsi fro translate that | 12:29 |
| Abhijit | from last 3 days when i start my computer i cannot connect to internet. it just keeps trying and then say failed to connect. then i need to restart router twice and pc once and then my network is connected. help? | 12:29 |
| phil42 | sure! here's a 386sx board here and the only problem with it is that the nicad battery leaked on it and turned the traces green | 12:30 |
| atlef | iceroot, yes it was and enabled in bios | 12:30 |
| iceroot | eeriks: what? | 12:30 |
| fishhat | what parts do you need? | 12:30 |
| iceroot | eeriks: i guess you should search for a better software instead of using a strange compination from ndiswrapper and wine | 12:31 |
| iceroot | fishhat: can you stop it please? | 12:31 |
| atlef | iceroot, but i still got: VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot | 12:31 |
| fishhat | sure. | 12:31 |
| eeriks | where can i get information about what wireless internet usbconectors i can use on ubuntu | 12:31 |
| iceroot | !hardware | eeriks | 12:32 |
| ubottu | eeriks: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 12:32 |
| atlef | iceroot, so i had to rmmod the kvm_amd module and restart vbox | 12:32 |
| eeriks | thanks :) | 12:32 |
| iceroot | atlef: strange, never saw that before, maybe blacklist the kvm-modules | 12:32 |
| Sidewinder1 | Abhijit: Perhaps you need to replace the router? | 12:33 |
| atlef | iceroot, maybe, are they needed for ubuntu to run in any way | 12:33 |
| Abhijit | Sidewinder1, i see. i thought that its something to do with ipv6 issue | 12:33 |

| neurochrome | hey folks! is anyone experiencing trouble playing youtube videos on 10.10 32bit using the flashplugin-nonfree? My videos ALWAYS stop playing within the first 30secs, even though the video downloads fine. I'm on a 50Mbit cable connection | 12:34 |
| iceroot | atlef: is that a normal ubuntu-installation? (not 11.04)? | 12:34 |
| atlef | iceroot, 10.04 | 12:34 |
| atlef | !kvm > atlef | 12:35 |

| lawless | is it possible to have a virus on my external hard drive and reinstalling everything on my computer it can still get infected if i plug in external hdd? | 12:35 |
| lawless | if so what's a way i can scan and find these viruses and dispose of them? | 12:35 |
| iceroot | lawless: with windows,yes, with linux, no | 12:35 |
| phil42 | neurochrome: does your system do any other weird things? | 12:35 |
| neurochrome | lawless, on windows sure, highly unlikely you have a linux virus | 12:36 |
| Abhijit | ?? | 12:36 |
| eeriks | iceroot what software do that | 12:36 |
| NickStarchild | Hahahaha, viruses? Haven't had one of those in a while. | 12:36 |
| neurochrome | phil42, no, everything runs fine | 12:36 |
| iceroot | eeriks: do what? | 12:36 |
| neurochrome | phil42, the only thing I can think of is it's the router, as it was fine using ADSL with my old ISP | 12:36 |
| eeriks | read the wireless internet usb Receiver | 12:37 |
| pksadiq | Abhijit: if you don't mind check pm | 12:37 |
| iceroot | eeriks: you want to access a wlan-access-point? | 12:37 |
| Abhijit | pksadiq, i never minds. | 12:37 |
| phil42 | can you run without hte router temporarily, to test? | 12:37 |
| phil42 | *the | 12:37 |
| === NickStarchild is now known as SuperCaptainFunT | ||
| neurochrome | phil42, no, it's an all in one super-hub... it's crap | 12:38 |
| === SuperCaptainFunT is now known as NickStarchild | ||
| neurochrome | phil42, I've managed to get hold of a modem so when I can afford a new router that supports DD-WRT/Tomato then I will switch to that | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | neurochrome: for youtube - you could use the google browser and try the HTML5 feature. (other browsers may be supporting this now) | 12:38 |
| neurochrome | Dr_Willis, yeah FF4 does, not 3.6 that I have | 12:39 |
| neurochrome | Dr_Willis, and I can confirm it does work fine, but only a handful of videos have a html version | 12:39 |
| neurochrome | html5* | 12:39 |
| tuhin | if i install a program in wine, where does it install in Hdd? | 12:39 |
| neurochrome | so no-one else has this issue then basically! | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | neurochrome: never noticed if it was just some at youtube or not :) | 12:40 |
| iceroot | tuhin: ~/.wine | 12:40 |
| Abhijit | tuhin, .wine ? | 12:40 |
| fishhat | i work withhtml4 | 12:40 |
| iceroot | tuhin: ~/.wine/drice_c | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: wine has its own dir with a 'fake windows' layout. .wine/ | 12:40 |
| fishhat | html4* | 12:40 |
| neurochrome | Dr_Willis, weird thing is, it is ONLY youtube... Vimeo and other flash sites work fine | 12:40 |
| fishhat | and xhtml | 12:40 |
| tuhin | home/.wine/drice_c ??? | 12:40 |
| phil42 | not me, my 64 bit player works well | 12:40 |
| tuhin | i want to know where disk space will be used? | 12:40 |
| phil42 | but uses too many cpu cycles | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | neurochrome: sounds liek it may be somting to do with how it handles comemrcials perhaps? or do those videos even have comercials? | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: where your home is stored at. | 12:41 |
| iceroot | tuhin: /home/username/.wine/drive_c/ remeber that ~ is the same as /home/username/ | 12:41 |
| neurochrome | phil42, ok check this out.... not only is it this machine, but my other 64bit machine that runs 10.10 64bit also has the same issue | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | neurochrome: got a url to a videwo with the issue? i will test here. | 12:41 |
| phil42 | you need to test by running without that router | 12:41 |
| neurochrome | Dr_Willis, no, there aren't any commercials, and as I stated above just now, it is not only this machine that is affected | 12:42 |
| tuhin | home is in different partition /home | 12:42 |
| jST | JI | 12:42 |
| neurochrome | I think it may be the router! ;) | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | neurochrome: it seems a deeper issue then | 12:42 |
| neurochrome | here's one -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XliOko5xrr0&feature=related | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: /home/ is the dir where all the users 'homes' are at. | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: /home/bill /home/bob and so onm. | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | the sytem dosent see or care if /home/ is on a differnt partition If its mounted properly. | 12:43 |
| tuhin | ok, so installed programs will use space from home partition | 12:43 |
| tuhin | i thought they will take space in / root partition | 12:44 |
| sandking | hi | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: if /home/ is not on its own partition.. then its on the same as / (the root partition) | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: user files/work almost always is in /home/ | 12:46 |
| wp_ | 呵呵 | 12:46 |
| tuhin | ok | 12:46 |
| wp_ | 大家好 | 12:46 |
| herol3oy | nameless`: still there | 12:47 |
| tuhin | Dr_Willis: how many kernels u have installed right now ? and how much space the "kernels" taking? | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: i think we figured out about 200mb a kernel the other day in here. | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | This box has 2 installed i think | 12:47 |
| tewk | Looking for natty help, my .Xmodmap caps lock remap doesn't seem to work, Lenovo W510 us-eng | 12:47 |
| tuhin | i think i may have to install new kernels in future to support gfx card | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | more space if you have the dev stuff for them installed. | 12:47 |

| Dr_Willis | that one seems to have very wide spaceing :) | 12:49 |
| raja | hi | 12:50 |
| matthias___ | Dr_Willis: it looked fine before I rebooted. perhaps an update caused the bug? | 12:50 |

| kellnola | NoobScratcher, keep in mind we're just trying to determine whether this is a desktop problem or something else. go CTRL_ALT F1, do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, then cd to some directory where you have a sound file, say mp3, then use mpg321 ./soundfile | 14:37 |
| peeq | Dr_Willis, thanks I will note down for any machine specific drivers. So after I do that, I guess I would need to copy all the 'dot' files and directories to my new PC. Anything else? | 14:38 |

| Dr_Willis | iker: we dont do backtrack support.. see the b acktrack channels | 14:53 |
| Marvin | kellnola, it's beyond those basic functionality, as in an additional package/program/application that one has to install. | 14:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !backtrack | iker | 14:53 |
| ubottu | iker: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information.

| Dr_Willis | kellnola: moving to a bigger hd. or machine.. shouldent be a mess. | 14:53 |
| Dr_Willis | or move the HD to the new box. :) | 14:54 |
| iker | sorry about this. | 14:54 |

| brigadis | xchat imo | 15:06 |
| thoams | compdoc: irssi | 15:06 |
| compdoc | thx | 15:06 |
| Guest36097 | I can use the commands nice snice renice could you tell me what process I can use? | 15:06 |
| szwiru | is someone with Polish? | 15:07 |
| Guest36097 | yes I am | 15:07 |
| p1n9v1n | is there any program to delete double lines of text? | 15:07 |
| szwiru | you know any Polish news channel? | 15:07 |
| compdoc | irssi doesnt show up in the software center, so xchat-gnome it is | 15:07 |
| Guest36097 | No I don't | 15:08 |
| szwiru | ok,understand | 15:08 |
| Guest36097 | I can use the commands nice snice renice could you tell me what process I can use? | 15:08 |
| thoams | compdoc: "sudo apt-get install irssi" | 15:08 |
| smw | compdoc, was that supposed to be funny on purpose? :-) | 15:08 |
| thoams | swm: I don't think so :( | 15:08 |
| compdoc | was it funny? | 15:08 |
| thoams | yes. | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | Guest36097: the question makes little sense; can you rephrase? what are you trying to do ? | 15:08 |
| akin | figured it out on my own - was a resolution issue. | 15:09 |
| smw | compdoc, irssi is a cli irc client | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: when in doubt - make backups of imporntant stuff | 15:09 |
| Guest36097 | I can see te effect use the command on two other process | 15:09 |
| smw | compdoc, if you wanted to install it, you would probably use apt-get. But since it did not show up in your gui program, you went with the gui irc client | 15:09 |
| compdoc | Im trying to find a way to list channels on freenode that start with ##, like ##hardware. They dont show up in mirc | 15:09 |
| smw | compdoc, of course, that makes complete sense. | 15:09 |
| * thoams cries. | 15:10 | |
| szwiru | knows someone typically Polish channel? | 15:10 |
| smw | compdoc, also, I suggest using xchat instead of xchat gnome. | 15:10 |
| compdoc | <- gui guy | 15:10 |
| smw | compdoc, np with that | 15:10 |
| smw | compdoc, it was just funny :-) | 15:10 |
| compdoc | smw, you are easily amused :) | 15:10 |
| thoams | try "/list *hardware*" | 15:10 |

| a-saint | Dr_Willis this isn't an only 2gb data it's a 100gb of data | 15:11 |
| smw | compdoc, xchat > xchat-gnome because xchat-gnome has bigger buttons | 15:11 |
| === Guest39366 is now known as alhen | ||
| smw | compdoc, (I have used both and I am using xchat now) | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: so? Im backing up 3TB of data right now... | 15:11 |
| thoams | Guest36097: using those commands, you can probably invoke whatever process it is that alters a given process's priority. | 15:11 |
| Matr|x | There's been trouble with that driver. how to ??try unloading it and going with r8169, some reported success with this. 'rmmod r8168' then 'rmmod 8169' then 'modprobe r8169' | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: data worth keeping is worth backing up. | 15:11 |
| compdoc | thoams, the problem is, I want to see what other channels there are that start with ##. I already know about ##hardware | 15:11 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: do what you want I guess. | 15:11 |

| foosicle | Halp. I am looking for how to have my terminal on boot be set to "always on top" | 15:14 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: hard drives can die at any time.. if you know how to partition disks and dont touch the ntfs.. it should be safe.. | 15:15 |
| foosicle | i can not find it in the simple compiz settings manager | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: if you do somthing wrong.. you could delete your partitions. its worth learning how to partion hard drives | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: make some unallocated space - and tell installer to use unallocated space. is the normal way | 15:15 |
| thoams | a-saint: if you're install Ubuntu from Windows, try the Wubi installer. It'll do all that partitioning magic automagically. But people are right, it's good to know how to do it yourself. | 15:15 |
| Guest36097 | I can use the commands nice snice renice could you tell me what process I can use beceouse I have to show the effect? | 15:15 |
| thoams | ing* | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: if its all to complex. try ubunti in virtualbox and practice partiuoning drives in vbox. | 15:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | thoams, Wubi installs inside windows and does NOT partition the system | 15:16 |
| Dr_Willis | wubi dosent do partitons. it makes a 'file' that has the ubuntu install in it. :) | 15:16 |
| thoams | Doesn't it? | 15:16 |
| thoams | Even better! | 15:16 |
| tuhin | if i copy my backup of var/cache/apt/archives (from another install of same version ubuntu) to usr/share/local repository in a new install in different pc, it will save from redownloading stuff? | 15:16 |
| thoams | Takes less long. | 15:16 |
| Dr_Willis | thoams: untill windows breaks | 15:16 |
| thoams | lol. | 15:16 |
| smw | tuhin, correct | 15:16 |
| smw | tuhin, there are also ways to make your own repo and stuff. But I have used that hack before :-) | 15:17 |
| a-saint | Dr_Willis thoams no am installing from live media , and am reading a link provided above on what to do | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: you could copy it to the other machiuhes /var/cache/apt/archives also | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: OR you set up one box on the lan to be a apt-cacher-ng server. | 15:17 |
| tuhin | how to do that smw? | 15:17 |
| smw | tuhin, what Dr_Willis just said | 15:17 |
| Matr|x | There's been trouble with that driver. how to ??try unloading it and going with r8169, some reported success with this. 'rmmod r8168' then 'rmmod 8169' then 'modprobe r8169' | 15:17 |
| tuhin | how to apt-cacher-ng server. | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | for a network - apt-caccher-ng is handy | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: it has docs and turtorials online | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | for setting it up | 15:18 |
| tuhin | ok lookign up | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | inbstall on main box. set up others to use it as an apt proxy | 15:18 |
| thoams | Matr|x: doesn't "rmmod *" suffice for unloading a driver? | 15:18 |
| smw | Dr_Willis, I remember using aptproxy awhile ago. Is it better? | 15:18 |
| === zero_ is now known as stefanos90 | ||

| oCean | TheAnachron: what is used by another process? | 15:45 |
| coz_ | TheAnachron, well if you really want to stop that process shut down the system ,,, restart and try again but NOT with software center... do the sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 15:45 |
| nmaxchat | compdoc, I think I get it | 15:45 |
| cerneula | hello everyone! I have a server with ubuntu 9.04. The problem I have is that I can log in via ssh, but not from TTY1. I have tried changing console, but it does not work. I have looked into /etc/securetty and the consoles are allowed to be logged in from. Also I have had a look to /etc/pam.d/login file, but I don't understand it very well. I have been looking for an answer on the internet, but no luck so far. Anybody has any | 15:45 |
| * coz_ hates software center | 15:45 | |
| compdoc | nmaxchat, use copy and paste, but do this: cd /home/nicholas/Downloads/colorfolder-oxygen-1.0.0 | 15:45 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: I can't use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade because software centre uses it to cancel a failed upgrade, but its stuck at cancel and it doesn't do anything. | 15:45 |
| oCean | cerneula: I already asked if anything useful is in /var/log/auth.log | 15:45 |
| a-saint | Dr_Willis is this normal ? I see /dev/sdb /dev/sdb2 swap 3999mb /dev/sdb6 ext3 / 46999mb /dev/sdb7 ext4 /home 51764mb /dev/sdb5 ntfs 217000mb | 15:45 |

| nibbler_ | hey, i'm having some trouble playing videos. when i attempt to play the video, it will play for roughly 1/3 to 1/2 of its total duration. in totem, it will pop up a dialog saying "failed to parse stream" and in vlc it just shows a black screen with no audio. i've been trying videos of various formats from a variety of sources, and found that this consistently occurs on videos that are more than about 10 minutes long. has anybody encountered t | 15:48 |
| nibbler_ | his problem, and if so, do they know of a fix? | 15:48 |
| coz_ | TheAnachron, take a screenshot "printscreen" upload to picpaste.com let us take a look at what you mean | 15:48 |
| tuhin | Dr_Willis: the partition is 133GB and only 4.3 GB is user right now , i might need to make new partition out of it from the last part later (if i decide to install other distro) | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: you are putting things on extended/logical partitons. YOu seem to have only the sdb2 primary. rest are extended/logicals | 15:48 |
| compdoc | nmaxchat, you prolly have to feed install.sh a command, like: ./install.sh dosomething | 15:48 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: nope. | 15:48 |
| TheAnachron | coz_: ok | 15:48 |
| compdoc | nmaxchat, best to read the docs | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: gparted can easially resize if itf you wanted. | 15:48 |
| oCean | !aptlock | TheAnachron | 15:48 |
| ubottu | TheAnachron: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 15:48 |
| nibbler_ | i also have a family friend experiencing the same problem when attempting to play most videos | 15:48 |
| nibbler_ | although his system is significantly less powerful | 15:49 |
| a-saint | Dr_Willis is this healthy ? can I install safely now or should i change the partitionning? | 15:49 |
| pksadiq | nmaxchat: may be sudo apt-get install kdialog | 15:49 |
| Cube`` | coz_: i'm looking for something like this: "Fedora Ambassadors are experienced contributors to the Fedora Project who are responsible for representing, promoting, and expanding the Fedora Project and its ideals to the larger F/LOSS community and the public at large." | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: i tend to use all primary - and just one extended at the end. but it proberly wont matter. | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: are you resizeing your windows partition? | 15:50 |
| coz_ | Cube``, mm maybe something like ubuntu marketing... I believe #ubuntu-marketing is a channel let me check | 15:50 |
| tuhin | yes i know , i m thinking ext4 will write at the end randomly? | 15:50 |
| === nisamRobot is now known as SambucusELF | ||
| Dr_Willis | tuhin: why does it really matter. | 15:50 |

| coz_ | sudipta, did you try in #ubuntu+1 channel ?? | 15:50 |
| tuhin | coz i m not sure if i will need to make another partition out of the 133GB partition later | 15:50 |
| oliver659756 | Hello #ubuntu, can I ask for a bit of help regarding my partitioned install of ubuntu and windows? | 15:50 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: coz_ : http://ubuntuone.com/p/oJ1/ | 15:50 |

| nibbler_ | i've also had issues with general sluggishness on both of my systems, which are more than capable of running any modern OS | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | freaky[t]: 'recordmydesktop' can do that. | 15:51 |
| compdoc | nmaxchat, you could edit install.sh, and see what line 7 says | 15:51 |
| freaky[t] | Dr_Willis: thank you | 15:51 |
| atlef | freaky[t], gtk-recordmydesktop | 15:51 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: coz_its stuck there, I can do anything else, just the install won't do anything >.< | 15:51 |
| a-saint | Dr_Willis fedora and the data i want from the sdb5 | 15:51 |
| nibbler_ | although dmesg and syslog reveal nothing in that matter | 15:51 |
| coz_ | TheAnachron, ok so its just stuck there,, yes? for how long onw? | 15:51 |
| cameri | is there a release date for Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal? | 15:51 |

| compdoc | nmaxchat, well, depending on the code, it might not be easy to understand | 15:51 |
| atlef | !natty | cameri | 15:52 |

| pksadiq | !find kdialog > nmaxchat | 15:52 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: so the whole drive is sda5 right now? or there other partitons? You could pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb' | 15:52 |
| a-saint | Dr_Willis the story is am more into linux than windows now .......................... the wife isn't ok with linux so I got an external for backup and linux installed fedora | 15:53 |
| nmaxchat | pksadiq, What do I do with that ? command line ? | 15:53 |
| cameri | coz_: I had my reasons for not firing up my browser... connection is pretty slow.. text based messaging is prolly cheaper on the data | 15:53 |
| tjiggi_fo | oCean, s/axuww/auxww/ | 15:53 |
| compdoc | nmaxchat, thats not from the install.sh file | 15:53 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: how to kill now? :D | 15:53 |
| coz_ | TheAnachron, I really never use software center for installations but I suggest shutting down the system to stop the process,,, then run in terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade I doubt it is going to break anything | 15:53 |
| bunnyfun | can i install fluxbox on a server that is set up to run zentyal/ebox ? | 15:53 |
| TheAnachron | coz_: no, seriously, I don'T want to break up an install :/ | 15:53 |
| oCean | tjiggi_fo: that does not matter | 15:53 |
| Dr_Willis | bunnyfun: sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 15:53 |
| coz_ | TheAnachron, its already broken apparenlty | 15:53 |
| bunnyfun | want to be able to use skype on the server.... | 15:54 |
| tjiggi_fo | oCean, k | 15:54 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: user 13091 0.0 0.0 5160 768 pts/1 S+ 16:53 0:00 grep --color=auto center | 15:54 |
| bunnyfun | k sounds simple | 15:54 |
| Dr_Willis | bunnyfun: how is skype going to be playing sound to the remote boxs? or are you putting a desktop setup on the server? | 15:54 |
| a-saint | Dr_Willis is this normal ? I see /dev/sdb /dev/sdb2 swap 3999mb /dev/sdb6 ext3 / 46999mb /dev/sdb7 ext4 /home 51764mb /dev/sdb5 ntfs 217000mb this is how it looks from the installation partition | 15:54 |
| pksadiq | many packages includes the kdialog on is kdebase-bin ,, so sudo apt-get install kdebase-bin , But I think a smaller package is available | 15:54 |
| nmaxchat | compdoc, What is not from the install file ? Sorry I am so slow | 15:54 |
| oCean | TheAnachron: if that is the only line, then there is no software-center running. Or does it have other name in german? | 15:54 |
| oliver659756 | can I get some advice on why my dual partitioned install of ubuntu and windows wont boot windows? | 15:54 |
| oliver659756 | from the grub boot loader i select windows the screen goes blank and the boot loader screen appears again | 15:54 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: seems they are out of order. so thats not normal but it may work | 15:54 |
| bunnyfun | desktop on a server with a networking setup | 15:55 |
| compdoc | nmaxchat. open install.sh in an editor | 15:55 |
| bunnyfun | would it be better to have zentyal as a seperate vm? | 15:55 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: no it hasn'T. I just closed all. | 15:55 |
| a-saint | so i go forward ? | 15:56 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: still the status db is locked | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: it will proberly work. but i dont do my layouts that way | 15:56 |
| a-saint | Dr_Willis so i go forward | 15:56 |
| nibbler_ | as a point of reference, the windows version of vlc has no problems playing the same files on the same computers | 15:56 |
| osc | hahaha | 15:56 |
| nmaxchat | compdoc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/597881/ | 15:56 |
| oCean | TheAnachron: ah ok. now type sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock then sudo dpkg --configure -a | 15:56 |
| nmaxchat | ubottu, See... | 15:56 |
| nibbler_ | so at this point, i'm having to boot in to windows every time i want to watch a video | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | a-saint: all you really need at a minimum is a / and swap partitions. leaving sda5 untouched | 15:56 |
| oCean | TheAnachron: this should get your db back in sane state | 15:56 |
| compdoc | nmaxchat, are you using KDE? or Gnome? | 15:56 |
| a-saint | Dr_Willis ok very good | 15:57 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: nope, its still not unlocked :/ | 15:57 |
| nmaxchat | I believe Gnome but I read what worked for one often worked for the other | 15:57 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: it said process killed but still locked | 15:57 |

| Mahjongg | !trash | 16:01 |
| ubottu | Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. | 16:01 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: the first process is the problem | 16:01 |
| nmaxchat | coz_, not all the folders, but have one red, one green etc. Color code them | 16:01 |
| relik | Hello i have Ubuntu full disk encryption. Is there a way to hide the preboot authentication splash screen? | 16:02 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, ooo well unless there is a theme available for that I cant think of any way but let me check hold on | 16:02 |
| oCean | TheAnachron: that is a problem, since that process is in uninterruptable sleep (D) You cannot get rid of that process: it will not accept any 'signals' or 'interrupts' | 16:02 |
| nmaxchat | coz_, I had rainbow folders on Wincrap | 16:02 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: so only restart will fix it? | 16:02 |
| freaky[t] | with what program can i encode videos? | 16:03 |
| nmaxchat | coz_ Thats waht color folder was supposed to do. | 16:03 |
| oCean | TheAnachron: a restart will get rid of that process, and thus the lock. But you still might have to run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 16:03 |
| TheAnachron | oCean: alright, thanks. | 16:03 |
| TheAnachron | coz_: thanks to you too! | 16:03 |
| a-saint | Dr_Willis will tell you how it ended after installation :D | 16:03 |
| oCean | TheAnachron: Cheers. I'm afk for now.. | 16:03 |
| Dr_Willis | freaky[t]: ffmpeg, mencoder, or front ends to those | 16:04 |
| nmaxchat | coz_, compdoc How much work is it to switch to KDE ? I tought apps were supposed to run on either ... | 16:04 |
| coz_ | TheEvilPhoenix, no problem... I was guessing a restart would be necessary | 16:04 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, its not difficult to install kubuntu-desktop,, however,, you will be looking at approx 400 megs of package installs | 16:04 |
| Dr_Willis | nmaxchat: apps do work.. but that script is altering icons and other things.. You can just customize your folders icons if youw anted.. | 16:05 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, hold on though ,, still checking | 16:05 |
| pablo | hello | 16:05 |
| compdoc | nmaxchat, lots on google, but I dont like KDE myself | 16:05 |
| atlef | freaky[t], are you trying to rip dvd's? then handbrake is great | 16:05 |
| freaky[t] | Dr_Willis: ok thank you | 16:06 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, unfortunately neither gtk2 themes or nautilus has any way ,, easily.. to change individual icons colors | 16:06 |
| freaky[t] | atlef: no want to change format of video i've recorded using gtk-recordmyscreen | 16:06 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, you could manually edit the icons in the theme but generally one folder icon is used for all folders except things like Desktop downloads etc | 16:06 |
| Dr_Willis | nmaxchat: If you want to change a directories icon, right click in it. properties. the icon a tthe top left is a button. you can sleect a differnt icon if youy want. | 16:06 |
| Dr_Willis | nmaxchat: but thats a per user special setting. not a theme/system wide change | 16:06 |
| nmaxchat | Dr_Willis, that one I found | 16:07 |
| coz_ | for sure | 16:07 |
| SixtyFold | hrm | 16:07 |
| nmaxchat | Dr_Willis, I dnt mind the per user so much bit color is really important to me | 16:07 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, there is an application / utiliy named gnome color chooser,,, I have not used it in some time and not sure if anything similar to what you want is available in it | 16:08 |
| nmaxchat | coz_, I do have it but its not wht I had in mind | 16:08 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, ah ok ,, I know it can change colors for various parts of gnome like the selection color etc | 16:09 |
| atlef | freaky[t], try winff | 16:09 |
| nibbler_ | ugh, bugger it, windows is my new media server. this can't play squat :/ | 16:09 |
| attractive | hallo all, i`ve a problem with volume control on my mio latepad n890 volume control with lubunto 10.10 | 16:09 |
| nmaxchat | coz_, Dr_Willis if I install KDE, how do I know what I can continue to use ? | 16:10 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, all applicationis will work in kde that you already have | 16:10 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, you will just gain the advantage of using kde or gnome applications in either Gnome OR KDE | 16:10 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, however,, you have to change which desktop environment you want via session when you log on | 16:11 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, I personally do not like kde other than how it looks,,, it tends to be far too resource intensive ,, I do however use kde appliation on my gnome install | 16:11 |
| attractive | it work`s but after click on "+", "-", "mute" its action freezed and repeated again | 16:11 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, you can try to install system-settings which is a kde utility ,, see if you can adjust the folders from there,, although I doubt it | 16:12 |
| nmaxchat | how much work is it for a developper to make their scricpt work on gnome ? | 16:12 |
| nmaxchat | Coz_, how much work is it for a developper to make their scricpt work on gnome ? | 16:12 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, not much more than any DE environment ,, | 16:13 |

| coz_ | nmaxchat, oh well... that one I couldnt answer,,, let me check that color folders thingy hold on | 16:17 |
| MickeySoFine_ | oops wrong windows | 16:17 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, something like rainbow folders and icolorfolder windows / mac not sure,,, the approach I would take ,, so you may have to either talk to a developer if you are not one,,, or discuss it online maybe on the #programming channel ,,, | 16:19 |
| coz_ | nmaxchat, icolorfolder is for mac but unlikely open source or you could just adjust it for ubuntu since mac i unix ,, not a huge difference there | 16:20 |
| mrdeb | ist he linux steam client not out yet | 16:20 |
| nmaxchat | coz_, It depends if its easier for the current coder to adapt a script for gnome... How do i go to programming channel | 16:20 |

| frankieGsi | erUSUL: yes thanx, already installed. it seems perfect. thank you a lot | 16:54 |

| mrdeb | so its incompatible | 16:55 |
| mrdeb | is that it | 16:55 |
| coz_ | mrdeb, yes if you want Unity you cant use gnome3 or uninstall Unity and install gnome3 via PPA | 16:55 |
| Dr_Willis | mrdeb: depends on what you mean by that.. its not even out yet.. so you may as well wait untill its released | 16:55 |

| Tigrs__ | i just installed rcconfig | 18:17 |

| Tigrs__ | and i wanna be able to tick for a option in the terminal | 18:17 |
| larsto | yes i know | 18:17 |

| Tigrs__ | what is the general tick button? | 18:17 |
| erUSUL | Tigrs__: press tab untill the button/option you want is highlighted. press enter | 18:18 |

| gmachine_24 | Hi - so... if I want to control another computer on my home network from my home network and from outisde (i.e. the Internet) can I do it with either SSH encrypted tunneling or VCN and ... is one better? | 18:24 |
| dumbi | good evening | 18:25 |
| nijabo | Isnt there a remote terminal? | 18:25 |
| gmachine_24 | or is that way too involved a question | 18:25 |
| sam_050201 | PINYIN is the phonetic way to input chinese ... im looking for the ibus pinyin input method but for some reason cant find it | 18:25 |
| kellnola | gmachine_24, what do you mean by "control" - a terminal session? a desktop? | 18:25 |
| OerHeks | gmachine_24, i would choose ssh tunnel ( terminal like ) but VNC ( desktop like ) is an other way of control. | 18:26 |
| gmachine_24 | kellnola, a desktop | 18:26 |
| MaRk-I | gmachine_24: inside LAN is easy... with vino.... outside you'll need to port forward your ports | 18:26 |
| dumbi | how i can videos by youtube show in umg format ? | 18:26 |
| gmachine_24 | I can do port forwarding | 18:26 |
| gmachine_24 | I already do for my music server | 18:26 |
| kellnola | gmachine_24, well you can certainly tunnel VNC via ssh, or you can go with a full blown VPN. ssh is simpler for just one machine | 18:27 |
| dumbi | yes, but videos | 18:27 |
| gmachine_24 | kellnola, yes, just one machine | 18:27 |
| MaRk-I | gmachine_24: then just setup port forwarding for ssh and vnc | 18:27 |
| gmachine_24 | MaRk-I, thanks. (did I get that right?) | 18:27 |
| kellnola | actually I would forgo forwarding VNC and use ssh exclusively, but that's me | 18:27 |
| trism | sam_050201: possibly: sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin; then restart ibus and in the preferences, on the input method tab, add Chinese/Pinyin, then activate it with ctrl+space (I don't use ibus for that language, so I'm not entirely sure if that's what you want) | 18:28 |
| MaRk-I | gmachine_24: yw, also the remote desktop viewer supports ssh now so might be easier | 18:28 |
| gmachine_24 | if I use VNC from a Windows computer . . . does that involve purchasing a vnc program? | 18:28 |
| kellnola | gmachine_24, no | 18:28 |
| gmachine_24 | ok | 18:28 |
| gmachine_24 | thanks everyone. | 18:28 |
| themalik | is it possible to use the 4th gen touch with ubuntu? | 18:29 |
| themalik | sync music and such | 18:29 |
| kellnola | you can forward/tunnel VNC over ssh without exposing your desktop to the internet | 18:29 |
| gmachine_24 | kellnola, ok, thanks again. | 18:29 |
| sam_050201 | I already have the latest pinyin input but its not showing up in the Ibus input menu... MEH! | 18:29 |
| gmachine_24 | Looks like I need to do some more homework. | 18:29 |
| gmachine_24 | Thanks again. | 18:29 |
| trism | sam_050201: like I said, you may need to restart ibus first (or log out/back in) | 18:30 |
| sam_050201 | trism ok. | 18:30 |

| gmachine_24 | I am using the 2nd beta of 11.04 and it's driving me crazy | 18:32 |
| gmachine_24 | sorry - that was just a general editorial comment | 18:32 |
| mrdeb | gmachine_24: what's wrong | 18:32 |
| hackero | help for bash | 18:32 |
| gmachine_24 | mrdeb, nothing, really. just nothing where it is *supposed* to be. | 18:32 |
| mrdeb | what do you mean. | 18:33 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | I'm trying to configure tap zones on my Synaptic touchpad for things like volume control and minimize/maximize. Gpointing-Device-Settings doesn't seem to support this, and I'd really rather not muck with Xorg.conf too much. Any suggestions? | 18:33 |
| gmachine_24 | It's like I'm Helen Keller and someone rearranged the furniture. | 18:33 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | gmachine_24, I'm stealing that | 18:33 |
| gmachine_24 | that's ok I stole it from someone | 18:33 |
| gmachine_24 | :) | 18:33 |
| kellnola | gmachine_24, for eg. "ssh -f someone@internetaddress.com -L 20000:internal_lan_machine:5901 -N" will let you open up tsclient on the remote host and type in "localhost:2000" and get an VNC session on your remote machine (granted VNC server is listening on 5901) | 18:33 |
| alzamabar | Hi all, is there a way to find out the max RAM size supported by my RAM slots? With sudo lshw I can see the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/597950/ | 18:34 |
| ssfdre38 | do you know if php is going to be updated on 11.04 release next week | 18:34 |
| mrdeb | you can use classic dekstop and it's the same or you can get used to using the new shortcuts | 18:34 |

| gmachine_24 | mrdeb, see, there is almost always a simple answer. thanks! | 18:34 |
| policyq | but remember, 11.10 wont have classic desktop | 18:35 |
| gmachine_24 | kellnola: thanks I am cutting and pasting that last comment. | 18:35 |

| delac | trying to connect to unencrypted wlan AP. Driver is iwl3945 (Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG). Dmesg gives lots of this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/597812/. Any thoughts? | 18:35 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | policyq, If you're upgrading, it of course will, and you can always install the classic desktop via the package manager | 18:35 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | I think it's a matter of not wanting to bloat the default package list | 18:36 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | I'm sure there will be a Ubuntu flavour like Kubuntu for the classic desktop, for those not wanting to use Unity. | 18:36 |
| mrdeb | i dont know what you mean | 18:37 |
| policyq | FrozenFire[alt]: oh that's nice. that's a good point. though i do think it's more matter of wanting to phase it out as the main experience | 18:37 |
| policyq | if there is a gubuntu that'll prove me wrong | 18:37 |
| oCean | FrozenFire[alt], policyq this channel is only for *current* version, let's get back on topic please | 18:37 |
| kellnola | gmachine_24, that assumes "internetaddress.com" is your router running an ssh daemon and VNC is listening on 5901 (the default I believe) | 18:38 |

| FrozenFire[alt] | freebird, What sort of system are you running this on? | 19:04 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | Xubuntu might be of use | 19:04 |
| freebird | intel motherbouad | 19:05 |
| qin | ! minimal | freebird | 19:05 |
| ubottu | freebird: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:05 |
| ashmew2 | FrozenFire[alt] : could a VERY DUSTY Cpu be the issue ? | 19:05 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | ashmew2, Yes | 19:05 |
| ashmew2 | FrozenFire[alt] : So i can clean it up with a blower..hmm? | 19:05 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | ashmew2, If the power supply detects that the fans aren't running, or that the hardware is overheating, it'll perform a hard shutdown of your system via ACPI | 19:05 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | ashmew2, Be sure not to use a vacuum cleaner or anything with water. | 19:06 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | ashmew2, Use compressed air, if possible. | 19:06 |

| FrozenFire[alt] | freebird, Though, you'll run into many problems. | 19:07 |
| frenzarectah | hi | 19:07 |

| lewis_ | why is command "sudo displayconfig-gtk" not working in terminal it gives "command not found" | 19:10 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | Rarely worth bothering trying to get a small distro working on it, because it won't be useful for what even competent users need a computer for. | 19:10 |
| jrib | lewis_: because there's no such command? | 19:10 |
| HyperShock | c0dege3k: have you installed the restricted-extras yet? | 19:10 |

| jrib | sridhar_: yes | 19:10 |
| c0dege3k | oh, that could be it. what's the command? | 19:10 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | dgd__, All of mine except my new laptop did as well | 19:11 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | I'm speaking of putting it *into* the dumpster | 19:11 |
| HyperShock | sridhar_: however you can save your home directory and reload it after you've installed all of your apps again in the 64bit system | 19:11 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | Not having taken it out | 19:11 |
| dgd__ | Some people put it in, I take it out :) | 19:11 |
| freebird | frenzarectah, what apps are you having issues with be a little more specific | 19:11 |
| sridhar_ | what is advantage running 64bit over 32bit on intel i5 based laptop ? | 19:11 |
| lewis_ | jrib i found a newbie questains and it said to use this command to get to the vidio | 19:12 |
| MaRk-I | !codecs | c0dege3k | 19:12 |

| jrib | lewis_: ask your real question | 19:12 |

| ubottu | c0dege3k, please see my private message | 19:12 |
| lewis_ | Lewis | 19:12 |
| rooks | sridhar_, some media heavy apps will work faster and more efficient, like flash, otherwise not much | 19:12 |
| HyperShock | c0dege3k: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 19:12 |
| frenzarectah | FrozenFire: is that link for me? | 19:13 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | frenzarectah, It's for lewis_ | 19:13 |
| sridhar_ | so happily i can continue with 32bit installation right ? | 19:13 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | sridhar_, In most cases, you won't need 64-bit. Application support isn't perfect yet. | 19:13 |
| vul31 | ??? | 19:13 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | vul31, Do you have a question? | 19:13 |
| lewis_ | I am trying to get the screen to go to full screen it will only do 800x760?? now | 19:13 |
| vanpereira | org | 19:13 |
| vul31 | eat apple | 19:14 |
| HyperShock | sridhar_: I would, because of the pae support in 32bit and also because 64bit libraries can run along side them too | 19:14 |
| frenzarectah | i don't understand what is the cause of this problem :( | 19:14 |
| sridhar_ | Thanks a lot guys .. thanks for your help :) | 19:14 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | lewis_, What is your graphics hardware? | 19:14 |
| vul31 | yes | 19:14 |
| rooks | o hai, im just shamelesly spammin my blog about linux and undelete on ext3 :P http://PleasantHacking.com/2011/04/22/undelete-for-ext3-filesystem | 19:14 |
| s0ap | quick question: just installed 10.10 server, then I started installing gnome gui. suddenly screen turns off, still hear computer working. is this normal? | 19:14 |
| jrib | rooks: please don't do that again | 19:14 |
| HyperShock | !ot | rooks | 19:14 |
| ubottu | rooks: #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! | 19:14 |
| rooks | awww.. okay... | 19:14 |
| frenzarectah | anyone is able to help me? | 19:15 |
| dgd__ | s0ap: running GNOME on a server isn't normal... | 19:15 |
| freebird | i'm not sure frenzarectah are you using wine to run these apps or did you install throu software center | 19:15 |
| lewis_ | trident microsystems cyberblade | 19:15 |
| s0ap | i did this: sudo aptitude install x-window-system-core gnome-core | 19:15 |
| s0ap | oops, no -core | 19:15 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | s0ap, It is probably configuring X. You may need to SSH in from a separate system. | 19:15 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | s0ap, Probably not a good idea to install Gnome on Ubuntu Server. | 19:15 |
| s0ap | k let me see... | 19:15 |
| s0ap | if i want to uninstall, how do i do that? | 19:15 |
| frenzarectah | no i dont have wine | 19:16 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | s0ap, apt-get remove the packages you installed | 19:16 |
| s0ap | "remove" or rm? | 19:16 |
| dgd__ | s0ap: uninstall -> apt-get remove x-window-system | 19:16 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | remove | 19:16 |
| frenzarectah | only normal app | 19:16 |
| s0ap | k | 19:16 |
| frenzarectah | for ubuntu | 19:16 |
| === nick is now known as Guest39358 | ||
| HyperShock | s0ap: Why didn't you just do ... sudo apt-get install gnome ... and then let the system decide what to pull in or replace? | 19:16 |
| frenzarectah | some app as i say,gave that weird problem | 19:16 |
| s0ap | im new at this | 19:16 |
| dgd__ | s0ap: then I'd do dpkg -l | grep x11 and remove those packages too - unless they take something important with them (like vnc-server for instance) | 19:16 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | frenzarectah, Mind repeating your question? | 19:16 |
| HyperShock | frenzarectah: try reinstalling the offending applications | 19:17 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | frenzarectah, You asked for help with your netbook, and we asked what the problem is ;) | 19:17 |
| dgd__ | I just got through ripping out GNOME and KDE from servers at work.... | 19:17 |
| s0ap | wtf, i cant ssh in | 19:17 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | s0ap, You'd need to install openssh-server | 19:17 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | You can try an ACPI shutdown, but it might break something. | 19:17 |
| dgd__ | s0ap: at console? If at console, you can do Alt-F2 to get to second console | 19:18 |
| s0ap | gah. this is ridiculous. i cant even see my display | 19:18 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | dgd__, Good call | 19:18 |
| dgd__ | s0ap: Or if at the X console - do Shift-Alt-F1 to get to console 1 | 19:18 |
| HyperShock | s0ap: do Alt-F7 to get display back | 19:18 |
| dgd__ | You could also try killing X: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 19:18 |
| s0ap | no luck on Alt F7 | 19:18 |
| dgd__ | (if you wanted to do that) | 19:18 |
| HyperShock | or even ctrl-alt-delete and the system will start rebooting | 19:19 |
| freebird | FrozenFire[alt], frenzarectah is having issues with the buttons in gimp and other apps | 19:19 |
| s0ap | well crap, if i restart will it boot to terminal again? or try to gnome? | 19:19 |
| jiltdil | how to disable firewall via terminal? | 19:19 |
| ruan | jiltdil: sudo service ufw stop | 19:19 |
| jiltdil | thanks | 19:20 |
| erUSUL | assuming you are using ufw | 19:20 |
| HyperShock | frenzarectah: did you make sure you had the latest video driver? which video do you have, ATI, NVIDIA or OTHER? have you made sure you got all the updates from Ubuntu? | 19:20 |
| frenzarectah | in the updates there is nothing about graphic drivers | 19:20 |
| frenzarectah | and the graphic drivers are installed correctly | 19:20 |
| HyperShock | s0ap: nothing wrong with terminal, in which case I'd do sudo apt-get install gnome .. and then .. sudo apt-get install gdm | 19:21 |
| HyperShock | then reboot and enjoy | 19:21 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | frenzarectah, Can you please describe the issue is more detail? So far all I know is that you're having "issues" with buttons in certain applications. I don't know *what* the issue is. | 19:21 |
| HyperShock | frenzarectah: do you have all proprietary drivers activated? | 19:21 |
| uni4dfx | any ideas why some of the multiple ip addresses listed with "ip addr show" are marked "secondary" ? | 19:21 |
| jiltdil | ruan: also how to port forward 21 from terminal | 19:22 |
| MaRk-I | HyperShock: actually it's called "ubuntu-desktop" | 19:22 |
| frenzarectah | sorry for my bad english,but i'm not england-native :P | 19:22 |
| HyperShock | thanks MaRk-I | 19:22 |
| frenzarectah | ok,thats is | 19:22 |
| HyperShock | s0ap: as MaRk-I said, to get everything for gnome and even the starter stuff do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 19:23 |
| frenzarectah | some application at every click of the mouse create an earthquake effect | 19:23 |
| s0ap | alright, i got back in, removed the gnome stuff, and installing openssh now | 19:23 |
| frenzarectah | and the button run up and down | 19:23 |
| frenzarectah | i can't click on every button because it run away from the pointer XD | 19:23 |
| s0ap | success! | 19:24 |
| s0ap | thanks guys | 19:24 |
| alabd | MaRk-I: I(humble)installed arista but are you sure it will convert .ogv to another format ? | 19:24 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | frenzarectah, Try System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects->Normal | 19:24 |
| HyperShock | frenzarectah: sounds like you have some gl features enabled that your system is barfing on, goto system->preferences->appearance and then 'visual effects' tab and make sure you got it set on normal and not extras. | 19:24 |
| frenzarectah | i have compizconfig installed | 19:25 |
| frenzarectah | can it be the cause of problem? | 19:25 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | frenzarectah, Yes. If you have certain visual effects enabled, it may cause problems. | 19:25 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | As HyperShock and I said, reduce your visual effects setting | 19:25 |
| mrdeb | not really | 19:26 |
| frenzarectah | how can i delete compizconfig? | 19:26 |
| mrdeb | it causes problems in 1104 even with fast graphics card | 19:26 |
| mrdeb | why | 19:26 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | frenzarectah, You need not remove it entirely. | 19:26 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | Just reduce its settings. | 19:26 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | For regular users, removing Compiz should be a last resort. | 19:27 |
| HyperShock | frenzarectah: yeah just leave it there, it's used but its setting should be set to normal in your case, if you still want to remove use: sudo apt-get remove compizconfig | 19:27 |
| HyperShock | but i don't recommend it | 19:27 |
| soreau | frenzarectah: Use ccsm>Preferences>Reset to Defaults | 19:27 |
| frenzarectah | ok | 19:28 |
| frenzarectah | tnx for the help | 19:28 |
| frenzarectah | :) | 19:28 |
| soreau | frenzarectah: Or, select None then back to Normal or Extra in appearance properties>visual effects (these use a predefined set of effects) | 19:28 |
| EmuAlert | Is there a way to make a program run without showing any of its output? | 19:28 |
| frenzarectah | sorry again for the bad english,i hope that it is not a problem | 19:28 |
| c0dege3k | internet went down for a bit- any replies to why i cant play dvds | 19:28 |

| FrozenFire[alt] | EmuAlert, Do you mean not displaying its GUI, or not displaying its terminal output? | 19:29 |
| rooks | EmuAlert, in console? | 19:29 |
| DiscordianUK | EmuAlert, program > /dev/null 2>&1 | 19:29 |
| erUSUL | EmuAlert: generally "> /dev/null 2>&1" | 19:29 |
| HyperShock | EmuAlert: you mean from shell? then use pipe '|' or redirect '>' or append '>>' | 19:29 |

| kingofswords | i had this issue with karmic and mint 9 but was resolved when i changed to lucid...but now its back | 19:34 |
| dgd__ | EmuAlert: /dev/null doesn't get "wiped"; the kernel dumps the data as it comes in. 2>&1 sends stderr (error output) to the same place that stdout is (standard output) - which is /dev/null | 19:34 |

| * HyperShock passes vinceN a plate of bacon, eggs and hash browns. | 19:35 | |
| kingofswords | nope | 19:35 |
| nilsma | is there no file, like rc.conf or whatnot, where i can modify it by myself rather than a gui or a cli-command? | 19:35 |
| EmuAlert | Alright thanks guys | 19:35 |
| kingofswords | do i do that in synaptic? i did update a few hrs ago | 19:35 |

| vinceN | I am looking for some advise on the best and least complicated way to sync a single directory in my home folder between two computers. A desktop and a laptop. What I want is for them to sync too each other. Mostly traffic will be going to the Laptop but in the event I add something to the laptop I want it to sync back to the desktop the next time we are on the local network. Does anyone have any tips or how tos on the best way to accomplish this? | 19:35 |
| erUSUL | nilsma: sudo update-rc.d -f app remove | 19:36 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | kingofswords, It'd be unusual that the drivers weren't in the kernel if it's a wired adapter | 19:36 |

| FrozenFire[alt] | kingofswords, Do you know the model of your NIC? | 19:36 |
| vinceN | Mark -I It's a music directory, way to much data and I want the files to be on the local drive. | 19:36 |
| vinceN | HyperShock : Done that problem is it's cumbersome and I end up overwriting things I don't mean too. I want them to sync like you would an iPod or something like that | 19:37 |
| HyperShock | vinceN: also read all said files only from that shared directory | 19:37 |
| dgd__ | vinceN: I recommend rsync | 19:37 |
| dd214 | where do I find an event viewer? My Ubuntu blew it's load, and I want to check the logs. | 19:38 |
| Diamondcite | vinceN: Try something like Unison or rsync? | 19:38 |
| HyperShock | vinceN: follow dgd__ 's advice now. :) | 19:38 |
| MaRk-I | vinceN: then like dgd__ recommends | 19:38 |

| codex84 | ? | 19:42 |

| erUSUL | dd214: press "q" to exit less | 19:43 |
| HyperShock | codex84: dear god, yes it does | 19:43 |
| kingofswords | erm its same place its always been | 19:43 |
| kingofswords | its a phone with built in modem | 19:43 |
| kingofswords | so updating NIC wont help as it usb and not ethernet/wifi? | 19:43 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | kingofswords, I had wireless internet for several months recently. I can tell you that no matter how similar the positioning looks, it could definitely be wrong. | 19:43 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | kingofswords, The NIC is fine, and Ubuntu is fine. It's the modem, definitely. | 19:44 |
| codex84 | i dont what commands | 19:44 |
| kingofswords | yeh but in same position its faster with windows | 19:44 |
| codex84 | are use? | 19:44 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | kingofswords, Have you tried Windows alongside Ubuntu? | 19:44 |
| kingofswords | the phone on its way out but that shouldnt make different sppeds | 19:44 |
| dd214 | erUSUL getting a witbier, going to need one to get through these... ;-) | 19:45 |
| kingofswords | nah just on same laptop with dual boot | 19:45 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | kingofswords, Don't know what to tell you, then. Are you running the speedtest to the same local server, on the same site? | 19:45 |
| kingofswords | but i had this same problem with 9.1 and mint 9 ..thought it was ivpc6 problem | 19:45 |
| kingofswords | yeh | 19:45 |
| HyperShock | codex84: man wipe | 19:45 |
| kingofswords | sorry FrozenFire[alt] yes | 19:45 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | kingofswords, Since you're using a wired NIC, instead of having a built-in 3G modem, it is almost certainly not an OS issue. | 19:46 |
| kingofswords | yeh its a tricky one...maybe itll resolve itself...just thought i try my luck in here | 19:46 |
| kingofswords | off topic: how do i say someones nick without having to type it out? | 19:47 |
| HyperShock | kingofswords: have you tried going somewhere other than the speed test site, like disney.com for instance? and how fast does it load? is it acceptable? | 19:47 |
| ruan | !tab | kingofswords | 19:47 |
| ubottu | kingofswords: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 19:47 |
| HyperShock | kingofswords: tab key | 19:47 |
| kingofswords | i tried tab | 19:47 |
| ruan | part of name, tab | 19:47 |
| dgd__ | Thanks ruan! I was wondering that... works for me (XChat in Ubuntu) | 19:47 |
| MaRk-I | kingofswords: press 3 letters of the nick then press tab | 19:47 |
| kingofswords | ahh | 19:47 |
| HyperShock | yeah you have type part of name and then tab until it completes right | 19:47 |
| kingofswords | MaRk-I, ahh yes it works ty | 19:48 |
| MaRk-I | kingofswords: yw | 19:48 |
| kingofswords | HyperShock, is disney a speed test? | 19:48 |
| HyperShock | kingofswords: no but it's media laden, really heavy on the browser | 19:49 |
| kingofswords | to be fair regardless of the test it does feel really laggy | 19:49 |
| HyperShock | how much ram do you have allocated for 10.10? | 19:49 |
| kingofswords | it must of been something to do with the install, i only did a few hrs a go | 19:49 |
| HyperShock | is your processor a celeron, sempron or turion? | 19:49 |
| HyperShock | or even an atom? | 19:50 |
| kingofswords | HyperShock, who me? im on 10.04 lucid...its 4gb | 19:50 |

| picasso | hello. i'm trying to follow a guide to setting up Gitorious on Ubuntu, but I'm having a problem getting rubygem "hoe" running. it requires a newer version of rubygems than ubuntu ships | 19:53 |
| picasso | what's the preferred way to run rubygems 1.4+ on ubuntu 10.10? | 19:53 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | pryorda, On second thought, there is a way | 19:53 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | In /etc/pam.d/login, comment "session optional pam_lastlog.so" | 19:53 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | pryorda, Or, if pam.d isn't there, in /etc/login.defs, comment "LASTLOG_ENAB" | 19:54 |
| pryorda | FrozenFire[alt]: thanks | 19:54 |
| dgd__ | pryorda, don't edit /etc/pam.d/* without having a root shell already open somewhere - in case you lock yourself out by mistake | 19:55 |
| dgd__ | picasso, can you upgrade gem by using gem itself? | 19:55 |
| brewster | how can i find out what sound card im i have? | 19:55 |
| pryorda | in login.defs its already # | 19:55 |
| jamescv | hello! some ubuntu version run kernel 2.6.18 or can i do a downgrade kernel version ? | 19:55 |
| ruan | jamescv: you can run an older kernel by holding shift at boot and choosing an older kernel(if you havent removed them) | 19:56 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | brewster, lshw -class multimedia | 19:56 |
| pryorda | FrozenFire[alt]: here soemthing you should know from login | 19:57 |
| pryorda | # Prints the last login info upon succesful login | 19:57 |
| pryorda | # (Replaces the `LASTLOG_ENAB' option from login.defs) | 19:57 |
| pryorda | so you need to commend out that | 19:57 |
| pryorda | comment out that like you said | 19:57 |
| brewster | ok ty | 19:58 |
| c0dege3k | ok, im getting audio now, but still cant see the video of the dvd. more help? i installed the mediabuntu dvdrcss thingy | 19:58 |
| pryorda | FrozenFire[alt]: neither of those work lol | 19:58 |
| erUSUL | jamescv: iirc no ubuntu version used 2.6.18 ... is an ancient kernel version | 19:58 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | pryorda, You may need to restart the system for the configuration to take effect | 19:58 |
| pryorda | im thinking that | 19:58 |
| pryorda | im gonna try restarting ssh | 19:58 |
| pryorda | and see what that does | 19:58 |
| ruan | jamescv: oh you mean that... why would you want such an old kernel | 19:59 |

| Oday | how do i completely remove Virtualbox from my machine? | 20:01 |
| Oday | i installed it using a .run script that came on a software cd from some magazine | 20:02 |
| rohan | hey guys am facing a strange problem | 20:02 |
| erUSUL | Oday: maybe that run script has --uninstall option or something. | 20:02 |
| rohan | I am running my preinstalled ubuntu 10.10 but cant do a fresh installation with my new sandy bridge configuration | 20:02 |
| Oday | where can i find where i installed it, erUSUL ? | 20:02 |
| rohan | anyone with the same problem ? | 20:03 |
| Oday | i mean..it was just a wizard and i didnt select where exactly (even if i had the choice i wouldn't know where) | 20:03 |
| rohan | I cant run ubuntu in live mode or install it from USB / DVD | 20:03 |
| Oday | /usr/local? | 20:03 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | rohan, By "can't", do you mean that a particular issue occurs? | 20:03 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | hi sorry got d/c | 20:03 |
| rohan | yes says live system missing or something dont remember exact code FrozenFire[alt] | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | Oday: probably but we can not be sure. get the script from the cd and run it with "--help" option | 20:03 |
| Oday | ok | 20:04 |
| KINGOFSWORDS | everytimei start ubuntu i have to start nm-applet manuelly, even though its in the startup apps | 20:04 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | rohan, What's your system model? | 20:04 |
| rohan | i upgraded to i5 2500k+P67A UD3R | 20:05 |

| blz | any advice? | 20:06 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | rohan, I hate to ask silly questions, but are you sure that the DVD you're using is functional, and that you're selecting it as the boot device on POST? | 20:06 |
| rohan | erUSUL, actually i have few Cyberroam client scripts which are not getting dumped so thought of a fresh install | 20:06 |
| Oday | it was in /opt/VirtualBox, erUSUL , and there was an uninstall.sh and it removed it , thanks | 20:06 |
| dgd__ | blz, check firewall. | 20:06 |
| dgd__ | blz, iptables -L -v -n | 20:06 |
| blz | dgd__: what am I lookig for there? | 20:06 |
| erUSUL | Oday: no problem. vbox provides deb packages in its website. use those in the future | 20:06 |
| erUSUL | Oday: no problem. vbox provides deb packages in its website and a repositorie. use those in the future | 20:07 |
| dgd__ | blz, if you know what you are doing - and are sure dropping the firewall is alright - do this: service iptables stop | 20:07 |
| rohan | FrozenFire[alt], I have used that DVD just 2 days back on a laptop .. and to remove any such doubts I have even tried to do a boot from USB after downloading fresh ISo | 20:07 |
| Oday | i will just get it from Software Center, erUSUL | 20:07 |
| Oday | im running 11.4 and i suppose packages are up-to-date? | 20:07 |
| blz | dgd__: should be ok. this is local network only stuff... | 20:07 |
| dgd__ | blz, if there are a lot of lines, then the firewall may be blocking you - depending on rules. If there are three lines with the word ACCEPT - then the firewall is wide open and ok. | 20:07 |
| Oday | because the one i got from the CD gave an incompatibility error | 20:07 |

| dgd__ | blz, are you using DHCP? Do you know what that means? | 20:15 |
| blz | yes, and yes | 20:15 |
| dgd__ | anonissimus, use Apache's Rewrite capability and rewrite / to /blog | 20:16 |
| dgd__ | anonissimus, the details are more than I can explain here | 20:16 |
| anonissimus | dgd__: a pointer like that is what I was hoping for | 20:16 |

| Raikia | anonissimus: http://content.websitegear.com/article/subdomain_setup.htm | 20:16 |
| Raikia | Scroll down to "Apache Web Server" | 20:17 |
| dgd__ | anonissimus, there is at least one website dedicated to Apache Rewrites | 20:17 |
| Raikia | It isn't a rewrite. you don't want all / to go to /blog. Otherwise "domain.com" would go to "domain.com/blog". He wants a virtualhost | 20:17 |
| dgd__ | Raikia, excellent point! | 20:18 |
| anonissimus | so if I edit the httpd conf with those parameters i will present the /blog folder for the subdomain? | 20:18 |

| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||

| FrozenFire[alt] | madjoe, PDF is a notoriously crappy format for that sort of thing. | 20:46 |
| kingofswords | if i get it from synaptic ill just get the 64 bit? | 20:46 |
| damno | i never use gwibber, but three instances of gwibber-servuce always runs. how do I stop it from being run? | 20:46 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | I'd say that you just have to fiddle until it works. | 20:46 |
| blz | erUSUL, qin: the strange thing is that web interfaces from this computer are not resolving with the hostname (when i try to connect from another computer) AND ssh doesn't work either | 20:46 |
| Dr_Willis | kingofswords: no idea. no idea why it would matter if its 64 or 32bit.. | 20:46 |
| blz | so it's not program-specific... | 20:46 |
| Dr_Willis | kingofswords: thats how i normally install it on my systems. | 20:46 |
| kingofswords | Dr_Willis, i tried 64bit ver b4 and had major problems...i think it doesnt work | 20:46 |
| blz | kingofswords: don't use synaptic | 20:46 |
| blz | kingofsword: use the command line or the software center | 20:47 |
| Dr_Willis | kingofswords: tried it befor when? yesterday? last month? | 20:47 |
| kingofswords | blz for eveything or just g'earth? | 20:47 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont recall ever having issues with 64bit google earth. | 20:47 |
| kingofswords | a week ago | 20:47 |
| kingofswords | oh | 20:47 |
| blz | kingofswords: for everything | 20:47 |
| blz | qin, erUSUL: ok the hostname doesn't resolve from a remote ubuntu machine either | 20:47 |
| kingofswords | oh..what wrong with synaptics? | 20:48 |
| blz | kingofswords: needlessly confusing. 99% of the time, people end up with the wrong thing | 20:48 |
| blz | kingofswords: aptitude is a good way to do it too, esp for package search | 20:48 |
| damno | i never use gwibber, but three instances of gwibber-servuce always runs. how do I stop it from being run? | 20:48 |
| kingofswords | Dr_Willis, but surely if i have the ia32libs it should work | 20:48 |
| blz | btw, qin, nast seems to show everything is ok... | 20:49 |
| Dr_Willis | kingofswords: no idea. ive never had issues with it not working | 20:49 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | damno, Remove the gwibber package and log out then in. | 20:49 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | That'll solve it. | 20:49 |
| madjoe | FrozenFire[alt]: well, that's the requirement... do u have an idea how to debug it? | 20:49 |
| Holek | morning | 20:50 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | madjoe, Are you using something like PHP to do this, or are you invoking ImageMagick directly? | 20:50 |
| Raisor | damno: I think Ubuntu uses gwibber to connect if you setup your ubuntu to connect to facebook/twitter... I could be wrong | 20:50 |
| FrozenFire[alt] | Via bash, that is. | 20:50 |
| Holek | how can I check details of a particular window, like window class, role, etc? | 20:50 |

| xiong | cardamon, Well, permissions are usually not all that important -- although some would disagree. It's a matter of viewpoint. If the file needs to be executable, then of course, make it so. | 21:14 |

| smiley7 | when i boot in windows xp i can access my files,but not in linux | 21:14 |

| AviMarcus | out of curiosity, what did you think purge was going to do? | 22:35 |
| AviMarcus | other than remove all preferences and all data? | 22:36 |

| Oday | not my database | 22:36 |
| Oday | what's it got to do with my database | 22:36 |
| coz_ | Inkblue10`, ok in stead of just compiz in terminal try compiz --replace ccp & disown | 22:36 |
| AviMarcus | you did purge phpmyadmin? | 22:36 |
| Oday | it is just there to be a medium between me and it | 22:36 |

| Inkblue10` | and installed the updates. | 22:46 |
| Inkblue10` | Would it be that I need to upgrade or... | 22:46 |
| coz_ | Inkblue10`, and which video card do you have there? | 22:46 |
| coz_ | Inkblue10`, if you are not sure in terminal type lspci | grep -i vga | 22:46 |
| Inkblue10` | No idea, though I do see on my side panel it says Intel HD Graphics | 22:46 |
| thewise | hi | 22:46 |
| docmur | I can't seem to play dvd's, at first I just figured I didn't have the library's installed so I installed the libdvdread and libdvdcss lib's and it didn't work, so then I used apt and installed the rest of the dvd reading librarys and now when I open the dvd with totem I get, cannot read from souce | 22:46 |
| coz_ | Inkblue10`, you can paste the output of that right here | 22:46 |

| teddyb | thanks escott ill have a look | 22:47 |
| coz_ | Inkblue10`, ok I believe that should work but hold on let me check | 22:47 |
| escott | docmur, you need to run a script included in the libdvdcss install | 22:47 |
| escott | docmur, trying to find the path | 22:47 |
| Inkblue10` | coz_: Would it matter if I installed the i386 or 64bit? | 22:48 |
| coz_ | Inkblue10`, doubtful... is this a clean install of ubuntu or an upgrade? | 22:48 |
| thewise | i'm using 64-bit | 22:48 |
| Inkblue10` | coz_: Clean install. | 22:48 |

| HHabib | Hello everyone , Can anyone please tell me how to enter the sudo password automatically when my bash file excuted without the need to disable the sudo passwords for that certain user? | 22:49 |
| coz_ | Inkblue10`, and when you go to System/Preferences/Appearance is there a "Visual Effects" tab...yes? | 22:49 |
| AviMarcus | hmm, +s as root maybe | 22:49 |
| HHabib | I tried something like write PASSWORD but it did not work .. | 22:49 |
| escott | docmur, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs (just running the install-css.sh) | 22:49 |
| Galvatron | Inkblue10`: 64-bit supprts 4GB of RAM and more, but some packages lach 64-bit versions and Flash 64-bit is an experimental stuff (or something like that). | 22:50 |
| Phong_ | how to unzip tar with terminal? | 22:50 |
| Phong_ | tar - something | 22:50 |
| docmur | okay thanks | 22:50 |
| Inkblue10` | coz_: Yes. | 22:50 |
| afirocks | hahaha i forgot my mirc was on :)))))))))))) | 22:51 |
| coz_ | Inkblue10`, and which of the options under that is ticked? | 22:51 |
| HHabib | any suggestions ? anybody ? | 22:51 |
| escott | HHabib, you could try setting the sticky bit on your script, and changing the scripts ownership to root. Just be aware of the security consequences of that. | 22:51 |
| Inkblue10` | coz_: Normal. | 22:51 |
| HHabib | alright escott ... | 22:51 |
| coz_ | Inkblue10`, ok now open ccsm or compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:51 |
| Galvatron | Inkblue10`: 64-bit versions of apps sometimes might be significantly faster. But because of the Flash, the 32-bit is the recommended version. Also, there are 32-bit kernels with PAE, to overcome the memory adressing limitations of 32-bit. Though, there might still be a 3GB+ limit of memory for a single process, but I'm not sure about it. | 22:53 |
| yk1000 | Phong_: wiki! tar | 22:53 |

| slakar | I put in root outta frustration | 23:23 |
| slakar | Some1 invite me to apache Plz | 23:24 |
| escott | bc81, a) the server runs on the system with the monitor no monitor=headless=no X server | 23:24 |
| hoss | escott, could you be more specific? | 23:24 |
| escott | bc81, b) modern Xorg server is pretty good at autoconfig so you should try xrandr utility | 23:24 |
| slakar | Scherbak | 23:25 |
| bc81 | escott, xrandr is not playing nice. here's my original question: i need some help getting my server (headless xubuntu 10.10, accessed via VNC) to change display modes. it seems to be "stuck" in 1024x768 resolution. for example, if i do "xrandr -s 800x600" it says: Size 800x600 not found in available modes. how can i change the display to something like 1280x1024, or better yet, 1366x768? | 23:25 |
| escott | hoss, I've had a lot of success with the hda_analyzer.py script from alsa. Its a bit confusing to use at first, but for many new laptops the developers don't have access to the hardware and can't get the settings correct | 23:25 |
| slakar | Bc81 wats ute question I might be able to help | 23:26 |

| donkeyinspace | hello... as an ubuntu rookie i installed a .gz instead of a .deb package. how do i uninstall it ? | 23:27 |
| escott | bc81, im not familiar with vnc and how it works, but I would think that you need to be changing stuff on the client side not the server (ie in the vnc client) | 23:27 |
| slakar | Wait way am I lookin at | 23:27 |
| bc81 | slakar: need to make the screen bigger (e.g. 1280x1024) but there's no monitor so it won't let me | 23:27 |

| slakar | Vnc | 23:27 |
| slakar | Or does it have alredy | 23:28 |
| trickysse | Hey, what's the best way of adding something to my PATH? | 23:28 |

| nmaxchat | coz_, reply from developper: I'm sorry, but I don't have gnome. | 23:28 |
| nmaxchat | I just had a look at how things are working with gnome and it doesn't look so | 23:28 |
| nmaxchat | bright. You should ask the ubuntu folk if something like that is even possible | 23:28 |
| nmaxchat | Secondly it seems that there would be some changes to the workflow needed | 23:29 |
| nmaxchat | since nautilius doesn't seem to support actions in submenus. And since I'm not | 23:29 |
| nmaxchat | using gnome this is a little bit complicated. | 23:29 |
| FloodBot3 | nmaxchat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:29 |
| shcherbak | trickysse: either export or edit .bashrc | 23:29 |
| bc81 | escott: i'm using Vinagre as the client but there's no option for resolution. i'm pretty sure it's server side issue because when i boot the server with the monitor plugged in, the display looks good (1366x768 res) | 23:29 |
| escott | trickysse, .bashrc | 23:29 |
| nmaxchat | FloodBot3, ooops | 23:29 |
| bc81 | slakar: i don't understad, soryy | 23:29 |
| hoss | escott, so I got the script and it is totally confusing. | 23:29 |
| bc81 | slakar: what is BBC? | 23:29 |
| hoss | escott, what am I looking for in the GUI? | 23:29 |
| escott | hoss, i can give you a general outline of how it works let me pull it up (fyi it needs to be run as root) | 23:30 |
| trickysse | escott: cheers | 23:30 |
| bc81 | escott: so i need a way to trick the server into believing there is a monitor hooked up when it boots, or else it goes to 1024x768 mode | 23:30 |
| escott | bc81, I'm afraid I don't know. I think you can generate an xorg.conf and put it in the init directory. try googling? | 23:31 |
| pastorbelga | #ebooks | 23:31 |
| escott | hoss, so all these notes are various registers in the hardware. You want to make sure that the AUD_IN is matching with the correct input PIN | 23:32 |
| bc81 | escott: i did lots of google, only problem is all the info i found is outdated as there is no more /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:32 |
| slakar | Bc81 on itouch corrects everyting i say | 23:32 |
| bc81 | slakar: ok, i see ;-) | 23:32 |
| hoss | escott, what is an input PIN? | 23:32 |
| escott | hoss, on my AUD_IN I have selector 0x17 and if I go to pin 0x17 AUD_SEL I have pin complex 0x1a and if I go to 0x1a I see under "PIN Caps" that it is my input PIN | 23:33 |

| naryfa | does anybody know how can I introduce myself to linux programming??? I picked that book BEGINNING LINUX PROGRAMMING by Neil Matthew and Richard Stones but this is nowhere near to the beginning. In their damn description they say they assume some knowledge of C. Is that really a beginners point? I learned some BASH and PERL but what can I do next??? Any recommendations? | 23:34 |
| bc81 | hmm..ok | 23:34 |
| escott | hoss, so basically you have look through the "PIN"s until you find one that looks like it might be your mic | 23:35 |
| shcherbak | !abs | naryfa | 23:35 |
| ubottu | naryfa: Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 23:35 |

| s0ap | i want to be able to stream my movie library...what is the best software for that? and I'm using ubuntu server so I'm unfamiliar with how to install without using apt-get or similar | 23:35 |
| escott | hoss, and then play make sure your AUD_IN and AUD_SEL are changed to point to that thing | 23:35 |
| shcherbak | naryfa: Start from bash, then go for lower stuff. | 23:35 |
| escott | hoss, and then test to see if you are getting sound | 23:36 |
| naryfa | shcherbak: What is considered lower stuff in your understanding? | 23:36 |
| hoss | escott, thanks... hopefull I dont break anything lol.. I have a stereo jack input for a mic and a build in mic so there are actually two inputs to choose from. | 23:37 |
| shcherbak | naryfa: assembler | 23:37 |
| naryfa | shcherbak: ok, I'll look, thanks | 23:38 |
| escott | hoss, the stereo jack will advertise a mic with a press detect. the built in mic will just say mic | 23:38 |
| shcherbak | naryfa: other interesting are perl, python, llua. | 23:38 |
| Average_Guy | can anyone here talk me through getting the restricted drivers nessessary to enable wireless on my laptop for a fresh linux install WITHOUT a physical internet connection. ie. useing windoze on a public network to get what I need and then make it work in linux | 23:39 |

| Average_Guy | i've been working on it all day | 23:39 |
| escott | hoss, you will lose these settings on each reboot, so once you get it working you either have to force them to be loaded in, or send the info to the developers so that they can incorporate your laptops sound settings into the default | 23:39 |

| donkeyinspace | Average_Guy , i guess you tried to create a connection in the panel bar? | 23:47 |
| escott | hoss, in the PIN Caps there will be capabilities that can help identify what the PIN is, when you find something you think might be your mic hook it up with the AUD_SEL and test if your mic is getting sound | 23:47 |
| Average_Guy | no | 23:47 |

| escott | Average_Guy, [this may be obvious] if you have a physical ethernet connection you could try enabling connection sharing on the windows machine, and then running a patch cable between the two | 23:51 |

| lewis_ | Is there a program that i can install to download and install drivers | 23:53 |
| Solar_Energy | HI | 23:53 |
| Solar_Energy | first ubuntu installation | 23:53 |
| Solar_Energy | it breaks up | 23:53 |
| soreau | lewis_: What driver are you wanting to install? | 23:53 |
| Solar_Energy | 2nd time | 23:53 |
| Solar_Energy | no "next" | 23:53 |
| tjiggi_fo | lewis_, not really, if drivers don't come fr | 23:53 |
| hoss | escott, I tried changing the Active Connection on my AUD_IN Mic device to Node [0x12] PIN as this was the only PIN with the name Input. I also installde gnome-alsa-mixer about an hour ago and this has completely greyed out the input option in Sound Preferences... maybe I should uninstall it? | 23:53 |
| tjiggi_fo | lewis_, not really, if drivers don't come from the kernel modules, or the manufacturers then they must be built from source code | 23:54 |
| soreau | Solar_Energy: What version of ubuntu are you trying to install? | 23:54 |
| soreau | tjiggi_fo: There is always jockey | 23:54 |
| Solar_Energy | I think 10.4 | 23:54 |
| Solar_Energy | it says | 23:54 |
| Solar_Energy | "Failed to initiate AP scan" | 23:55 |
| lewis_ | soreau: trying to get trident drivers for my graphics | 23:55 |
| soreau | Solar_Energy: What is telling you that? | 23:55 |
| soreau | lewis_: Ah, hm | 23:55 |
| saml | hey, compiz hangs from time to time freezing up screen for seconds. is there an easy way to temporarily disable/enable compiz | 23:55 |
| tjiggi_fo | soreau, oh yes - well | 23:55 |
| Solar_Energy | the installation bar | 23:55 |
| saml | is it compiz --replace ? | 23:55 |
| Solar_Energy | "ready, when you are" | 23:55 |
| soreau | lewis_: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA ? | 23:55 |
| soreau | saml: Sure, metacity --replace to disable it and compiz --replace to enable it | 23:56 |
| saml | soreau, thanks. do you background it? compiz --replace & | 23:57 |
| escott | hoss, I doubt gnome-alsa-mixer is the problem, but you can also try the alsamixer command line tool. 0x12 may not be the right PIN. | 23:57 |
| lewis_ | Soreau: yes i can only get 800x600 resulation | 23:57 |
| soreau | saml: If you arent running it from Alt+F2 run dialog, append & disown | 23:57 |
| soreau | lewis_: What is the output of lspci|grep VGA ? | 23:57 |
| saml | soreau, thanks | 23:57 |
| hoss | escott, cool.. I will mess around with it, thanks. | 23:58 |
| lewis_ | soreau: forgive me i am new do i past this in termanel?? | 23:58 |
| soreau | lewis_: Yes | 23:58 |
