| Linear_Key | When I create a symbolic link in my home folder, a corresponding icon appears on my desktop. How can I prevent this? | 00:29 |

| Juest | and !audio is not working | 00:29 |
| bazhang | indy, then the mythbuntu-desktop package as I suggested above | 00:29 |
| dusf | bazhang: also, i'm creating a larger partition i want to use for storage for both windows and ubuntu, .wine will also be installed there, i had intended to use ntfs as it's cross platform but just discovered windows can read ext3, is there any reason to use one over the other pelase? | 00:29 |
| slakar | Lol I was simply asking fir like a way I can put a link on my webpage and Wen ppl press it it loads of my server | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Linear_Key: Using gconf-editor go to apps>nautilus>desktop and uncheck the "home folder visible" box. | 00:29 |
| bazhang | dusf, I would use ntfs as Ubuntu can use that more easily and dependably | 00:29 |
| slakar | Way bout creating a link I did on my windows but Havin trouble on ubuntu | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 00:30 |
| slakar | Way is what | 00:30 |

| bazhang | slakar, that question also has nothing to do with ubuntu, try ##web or some other channel | 00:31 |
| indy | so i don't need to run mythtv-just install mythbuntu- does it work out-of the box or do i need to configure it | 00:31 |
| Juest | is always there | 00:31 |
| HyperShock | slakar: do you mean a symbolic file link? | 00:31 |
| dusf | bazhang: ty. would there be a reason to use /boot if you had 2/3 other operating systems on the drive? ubuntu crashes/uninstalls etc - grub still has it's menu? | 00:31 |
| la | anyone has experience with intel 2200 wireless card, wb2200 driver and patching? | 00:31 |
| slakar | HyperShock: How do I full out the area where u have filename | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: if you use gconf as I advised it should sort it | 00:31 |

| bazhang | indy, best to check the various myth compatibility sites, if thats a hauppage the odds are more than fair | 00:33 |

| indy | thanks a lot. | 00:33 |
| dusf | bazhang: but with ubuntu gone the grub menu with other o/s would be lost... i know i can just reinstall ubuntu but i think i'm going to go with the small boot partition. one final thing, when you say ubuntu can work more easily and dependably with ntfs, you mean more easily and dependably than windows can work with ext3, not that ubuntu can work more easily and dependably with ntfs than it can with ext3, right? | 00:34 |
| slakar | HyperShock: Are you there u are a lot of help I just need a little more | 00:34 |
| HyperShock | slakar: i'm on fone with customer | 00:34 |

| magn3ts | How can I check to see if an app was installed via DPKG or via apt? | 00:53 |
| atyoung | clemetine | 00:53 |
| iSilurian | oh adrian | 00:53 |
| lwizardl | hiexpo, as i said not looking for a ipod manger or audio player | 00:53 |
| adrian_berg | yes? | 00:53 |
| JuestUbuntu | use synaptic manager | 00:53 |
| buff27 | lwizardl, tried rhythmbox | 00:54 |
| iSilurian | thats my name :P | 00:54 |
| adrian_berg | :) | 00:54 |
| magn3ts | Also, why the frick are the GTK+ widgets even BIGGER in Gnome3 than ever? | 00:54 |
| joshmc | lwizardl: searches turn up gPodder, juice, Prodder (??), so on. | 00:54 |
| lwizardl | joshmc, yup used them and most only finds like 20 feeds | 00:55 |
| Infamous | can someone help me dual boot backtrack 4 with windows 7? :O | 00:55 |
| magn3ts | Infamous, just run it in a VM, also not really #ubuntu | 00:56 |
| hiexpo | !backtrack | Infamous | 00:56 |
| ubottu | Infamous: 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 | 00:56 |
| Infamous | yea imma try that | 00:57 |
| Infamous | thanks. | 00:57 |
| LAcan | hrrmm.. whats the deal with #wine ? | 00:57 |
| JuestUbuntu | hey | 00:57 |
| ksaylor | !mint | 00:57 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 00:57 |
| magn3ts | LAcan, what do you mean? #winehq? | 00:57 |
| LAcan | ohh maybe | 00:58 |
| LAcan | .j #winehq | 00:58 |
| habriel | hello do you know any program for download music | 00:58 |
| joshmc | lwizardl: can you use something like podcast.com to search through podcasts and keep track of them through the program? Or do you mean they will only download 20 podcasts at a time per subscription? | 00:58 |
| coz_ | LAcan, #windehq is an irc channel for wine help | 00:58 |
| coz_ | LAcan, rather #winehq | 00:58 |
| JuestUbuntu | habriel: rhytmbox | 00:58 |
| bastidrazor | magn3ts: technically, every application installed is installed by dpkg. | 00:58 |
| lwizardl | joshmc, when using the application itself and doing searches they only find 20 podcasts total and most of the ones that are found the latest updated files are from about 2002 | 00:59 |
| joshmc | lwizardl; | 01:00 |
| habriel | thanks juestubuntu | 01:01 |
| haoqili | test | 01:01 |
| JuestUbuntu | yeah | 01:01 |
| JuestUbuntu | :) | 01:01 |
| joshmc | lwizardl: I may be in the wrong but keeping a database of podcasts in conjunction with the software would seem like a big undertaking (something a company like Apple can do). Most of the podcasts I've seen are maintained by small groups instead of in a library. You might be hard pressed to find a decent podcast program with a sizable library. | 01:02 |
| LAcan | jesus these #windows people are useless | 01:03 |
| magn3ts | bastidrazor, yeah, that thought occurred to me right after I asked the question :S Oh well. | 01:03 |
| magn3ts | LAcan, what are you trying to do? | 01:03 |
| PurpleSmoke | windows ppl are usefull | 01:03 |
| LAcan | magn3ts, having a problem with winload being unsigned in the boot manager... | 01:04 |
| PurpleSmoke | u can be payed if u remove viruses/spywartes/mallwares et | 01:04 |
| PurpleSmoke | c;D | 01:04 |
| lwizardl | LAcan, what ? you talking about people in that chatroom ? | 01:04 |
| LAcan | and not being able to boot my winblows partition | 01:04 |
| david234 | ok, so I built a .deb package and when I install it, it says "trying to overwrite .... which is also in ....". How can I force installation of the package not caring about overwritten files ? | 01:04 |
| magn3ts | LAcan, what does "unsigned" mean? | 01:04 |
| magn3ts | LAcan, if your Windows partition doesn't have a boot flag on it it will likely not boot | 01:05 |
| magn3ts | but thats super easy to fix | 01:05 |
| LAcan | magn3ts, its not an active partition thing, im pretty competent with partisiton and volume managment | 01:05 |
| magn3ts | LAcan, I see. I probably won't be able to help then :P sorry | 01:05 |
| LAcan | basically i somehow got an unsigned version of the vista boot loader (winload.exe) and now vista wont run the damn file | 01:05 |
| LAcan | its making me mental | 01:06 |
| lwizardl | joshmc, umm not really I am only a beginner in programming but since most podcasts have their own websites how hard is it to parse a xml file and proccess that data into links | 01:06 |
| magn3ts | joshmc, give me an example link to an xml file that you're tryign to us | 01:07 |
| lwizardl | joshmc, if I had my own podcast it would only take a single application to submit my xml feeds to and then be able to have instant access to each feed | 01:07 |
| lwizardl | magn3ts, I think your confused on what was said. I use xml as an example to his only Apple could be large enough to provide central database | 01:08 |
| magn3ts | ah | 01:08 |
| magn3ts | isn't he looking for an app to consume a podcast feed though | 01:08 |
| magn3ts | or did I misunderstand that as well :/ | 01:08 |
| lwizardl | magn3ts, nope I was looking for an application similar to Itunes for us linux users for subscribing and downloading of podcasts | 01:09 |
| joshmc | lwizardl: that's why I suggested an online register of podcasts as opposed to a builtin search =s for whatever reason it would seem the app makers haven't provided much (updated) info. Sorry I can't be of more help but maybe someone else has a history with podcasts. | 01:09 |
| Raikia | lwizardl: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_podcatchers | 01:10 |
| lwizardl | joshmc, not a problem man. I have been searching for a good application now for about 2 years and nothing fills the place. Maybe its just time I bite the bullet and learn linux programming and see what I can do instead of just bitching :) | 01:10 |
| Raikia | I like Juice the most | 01:10 |
| magn3ts | How can I list X instances running on my machine. | 01:10 |
| magn3ts | lwizardl, does Apple maintain that list? | 01:11 |
| magn3ts | Just find out where Apple stores that list on their server and download it | 01:11 |
| magn3ts | Or find out their API for searching (if it searches server side) and try to implement it in a library or something. | 01:11 |
| joshmc | magn3ts: try ps aux|grep name-of-app | 01:11 |
| lwizardl | Raikia, yeah but they don't have a linux version yet | 01:11 |
| lwizardl | magn3ts, yeah but then if Apple was to ever change something it would break the library | 01:12 |
| Raikia | lwizardl: I use it through Wine. It works fine | 01:12 |
| magn3ts | joshmc, sadly it doesn't tell me what DISPLAY= to set | 01:13 |
| lwizardl | Raikia, I switched to Linux to remove windows from my life, I don't want to use the applications | 01:13 |
| Raikia | Haha, touche | 01:13 |
| saganbyte | hi there | 01:13 |
| saganbyte | i m trying to install ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix on a asus netbook that i just bought.I made the usb installer as the ubuntu site suggested, but the netbook just wont boot from the usb :( | 01:14 |
| saganbyte | please help | 01:14 |
| joshmc | magn3ts: hmm? What task are you trying to complete? | 01:14 |
| Juest | hey, why arecord is always active using sound??? | 01:14 |
| bastidrazor | magn3ts: you could just use 'w' to list who's logged in and it'll show if they are using an X session | 01:15 |
| paideia | if I'm watching a flash movie through the browser, how do I find the corresponding rtmp url? | 01:15 |
| magn3ts | bastidrazor, still doesn't show me the DISPLAY id to use :/ | 01:15 |
| joshmc | magn3ts, you can check the DISPLAY through echo $DISPLAY , but I'd guess you knew that. What are you trying to do? | 01:16 |
| bastidrazor | magn3ts: why don't you ask your "real" question instead of hinting around at what you are really after. | 01:17 |
| magn3ts | I want to open an app on my other display.... | 01:17 |
| Juest | hey | 01:17 |
| magn3ts | but I don't know the DISPLAY id of the other X server | 01:17 |
| Juest | how do i open and manage multiples display? | 01:17 |
| magn3ts | and I don't have *Anything* running on it to echo out $DISPLAY | 01:17 |
| Juest | and how do i specify multiple x server? | 01:18 |
| smw | Juest, why do you want multiple x servers? | 01:18 |
| escott | magn3ts my ps aux does list the display /usr/bin/X :0 -nr -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm-7UIm5d/da | 01:18 |
| smw | Juest, that is just asking for trouble. What is your real problem? | 01:18 |
| shcherbak | saganbyte: Did you try to press F2 for boot menu? | 01:18 |
| wcchandler | Is 11.04 going to be an LTS? | 01:19 |
| === cosmo_ is now known as cosmo18 | ||
| saganbyte | shcherbak: yes i did and set boot device order to removable | 01:19 |
| Juest | nothing, just wanting to run multiple X to use with apps | 01:19 |
| smw | Juest, why? | 01:19 |
| rww | wcchandler: no | 01:19 |
| Juest | and how do i kill unwanted x screens? | 01:19 |
| Juest | not any | 01:19 |
| wcchandler | When was the last LTS? | 01:19 |
| shcherbak | Juest: Alt-Ctrl-F2 , xinit -- :1 vt8 , startx (gnome at Alt-Ctrl-F7 and F8) | 01:19 |
| rww | wcchandler: 10.04 | 01:19 |
| wcchandler | rww: thanks :) | 01:20 |
| joshmc | magn3ets: I'd go about it by switching to a vt, setting DISPLAY=:0 (which is my X server) and testing a simple app, than incrementing it (DISPLAY=:1 , simple app etc) | 01:20 |
| bastidrazor | Juest: log out of it. | 01:20 |
| Juest | -.- | 01:20 |
| joshmc | magn3ts: see above, and alos shcherbak | 01:20 |
| Juest | still not understanding | 01:20 |
| === claudio is now known as botinha | ||
| joshmc | magn3ts: despite shch 's post being for someone else that looks like it could be helpful to you too :) | 01:21 |
| magn3ts | joshmc, yeah it seems brutey but that might work I could script it fairy easily. | 01:21 |
| magn3ts | joshmc, what post is/was that? | 01:21 |
| shcherbak | saganbyte: bios may see two types of usb drives, eventually test your drive on any other machine. | 01:21 |
| joshmc | : Alt-Ctrl-F2 , xinit -- :1 vt8 , startx (gnome at Alt-Ctrl-F7 and F8) | 01:21 |
| joshmc | magn3ts ^ | 01:22 |
| magn3ts | joshmc, ah, yeah, I know how to do that sort of thing, not the side of things I'm needing though, thanks. | 01:22 |
| bastidrazor | joshmc: startx -- :1 ...would be a better route to take. | 01:22 |
| thien | plugin-container eats 18% CPU. what's it? | 01:22 |
| LAcan | if i rebuild my MBR is that gonna mess GRUB up? | 01:23 |
| magn3ts | thien, chrome/firefox's flash. | 01:23 |
| Juest | hey | 01:23 |
| Juest | it says fatal error | 01:23 |
| shcherbak | bastidrazor: Yup, but harder to see there are troubles (with xinit you have extra xrerver output). | 01:23 |
| Juest | 0:0 already running | 01:23 |
| Juest | and if i log out it just restarts :( | 01:23 |
| shcherbak | *xserver | 01:23 |
| astory | is there a more recent guide to making a custom live cd than https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization ? It seems to have been last update for 9.04. | 01:23 |
| escott | LAcan, yes you would need to reinstall the grub first stage | 01:23 |
| wcchandler | I'm having trouble finding the .torrent for 10.04 amd64 | 01:23 |
| Juest | then it tires to clean log | 01:23 |

| wcchandler | desktop | 01:24 |
| Juest | help here | 01:24 |
| LAcan | escott how would I do that? can I do it from the ubuntu disk? | 01:24 |
| escott | LAcan, see man grub-setup | 01:24 |
| Juest | joshmc: help here, | 01:24 |
| wierd0{} | will ubuntu fix their operating system in time for release ? | 01:24 |
| olvap | how could i create multiples parts of a some file in ubuntu? i have a file of 6 gb and a pendrive of 3 gb | 01:24 |
| magn3ts | Juest read some docs, you need to specify another port for the new X instance to run on. | 01:24 |
| astory | olvap: man split | 01:24 |
| escott | olvap, man split | 01:25 |
| astory | and then cat to put them back together | 01:25 |
| magn3ts | Juest, what are you trying to do anyway? There's probably an easier way to do this. | 01:25 |
| hiexpo | wcchandler, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/release/ | 01:25 |
| Juest | where i have to specify it? | 01:25 |
| thien | in windows, it's normally ~2%. why is it too high in ubuntu? | 01:25 |
| cosmo18 | anyone know python decently could tell me a script for pushing the "," indefinitely, I am trying to learn python but I just started and trying to get Autokey to work | 01:25 |
| Juest | magn3ts: i just want to run another x server and get into it and else | 01:25 |
| Juest | xterm, etc | 01:26 |
| astory | cosmo18: try #python | 01:26 |
| magn3ts | Juest, you can run Xephyr | 01:26 |
| magn3ts | Juest, that will run X inside a window in your current X instance. | 01:26 |
| Juest | ah lol | 01:26 |
| Juest | and how do i kill unwanted x servers??? | 01:26 |
| saganbyte | is there some way i can install ubuntu directly off the internet? | 01:27 |
| saganbyte | ubuntu netbook that is | 01:27 |
| magn3ts | Juest, using "kill" :P | 01:27 |
| magn3ts | saganbyte, there's a netinstaller for the netbook edition | 01:27 |
| shcherbak | Juest: In tty where you stared it. | 01:27 |
| Juest | where? | 01:27 |
| magn3ts | saganbyte, though netbook edition is deprecated now. | 01:27 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest81961 | ||
| Juest | ah | 01:27 |
| shcherbak | *stated | 01:27 |
| Juest | but there's no tty | 01:27 |
| Juest | because system runs it | 01:27 |
| escott | cosmo18, there are lots of command line x event generators | 01:27 |
| saganbyte | magn3ts: can i not install netbook 10.10 over th net? | 01:28 |
| shcherbak | Juest: Oh, sudo service gdm stop | 01:28 |
| magn3ts | saganbyte, I think you can. | 01:28 |
| shcherbak | Juest: No x at all | 01:28 |
| Juest | instead of doing killall Xorg | 01:28 |
| codex84 | upgrade ktorrent to 4.1 | 01:28 |
| codex84 | ? | 01:28 |
| Juest | it kills every x :( | 01:28 |
| thien | is there someway to replace/improve plugin-container for lower cpu usage? | 01:28 |
| escott | Juest, close the last open xterm/exit the session and the X instance should close | 01:28 |
| slakar_ | its me | 01:28 |
| saganbyte | magn3ts: i just bought this asus netbook and it wont boot from removable devide :( | 01:28 |
| Juest | ah | 01:28 |
| Juest | ah thanks | 01:28 |
| saganbyte | magn3ts: i had craeted a usb based on the instructions on the ubuntu site | 01:29 |
| Juest | sure? | 01:29 |
| magn3ts | saganbyte, are you 100% sure you're doing it right? | 01:29 |
| olvap | how could i create multiples parts of a some file in ubuntu? i have a file of 6 gb and a pendrive of 3 gb. but! i need to join it in windows | 01:29 |
| Juest | and if the x was launched without nothing? | 01:29 |
| magn3ts | saganbyte, did you look in the bios settings? | 01:29 |
| astory | saganbyte: have you looked in the bios? that's a pretty painful thing to work around | 01:29 |
| magn3ts | olvap, you were already told the answer to that question twice. | 01:29 |
| saganbyte | magn3ts: i did set the boot order to removalble first | 01:29 |
| tanath | does anyone know how the Disk Mounter applet mounts without sudo/gksu? i'd like the command for a script | 01:29 |
| shcherbak | olvap: get rar (in repos) | 01:29 |
| magn3ts | saganbyte, If the bios supports it... it should be possible somehow. | 01:29 |
| astory | schmidtm: split is all he needs | 01:29 |
| olvap | magn3ts i cannot use splice in windows | 01:30 |
| magn3ts | olvap, why are you asking about windows in #ubuntu? | 01:30 |
| astory | olvap: sureley there's a windows equivalent of cat | 01:30 |
| Juest | erm and i am having troubles with sound | 01:30 |
| escott | olvap, you should also be able to cat in windows, although the unix/windows difference in CRLF vs CR could cause problems | 01:30 |
| Juest | as normal user / root desktop | 01:30 |
| shcherbak | alad_o: You there? | 01:30 |
| astory | olvap: type file1 file2 > file3 | 01:30 |

| astory | (on windows shell) | 01:30 |
| saganbyte | magn3ts: do you think the usb that i created could be just good for Wubi and not a bootable ubuntu? | 01:30 |
| Juest | hey | 01:30 |
| magn3ts | escott, that would be a problem if he had a 6gb jumpdrive anyway. | 01:30 |
| magn3ts | saganbyte, no | 01:30 |

| tanath | does anyone know how the Disk Mounter applet mounts without sudo/gksu? i'd like the command for a script | 01:31 |
| escott | saganbyte, you're trying to boot right. does the pen drive boot on other systems? | 01:32 |
| saganbyte | magn3ts: astory , i m installing boot helper out of the usb .. do you think that ll help | 01:32 |
| shcherbak | tanath: man mount | 01:32 |
| titov | i am trying to hit my website using https rather than port 80 but the browser keeps complaining that there is an SSL connection error | 01:32 |
| Juest | ok | 01:32 |
| titov | i have ssl enabled | 01:32 |
| saganbyte | escott: unfortunately there are only macs all around... only one windows netbook that i m trying to install ubuntu on :( | 01:32 |
| titov | the ssl port is also set in ports.conf | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | titov: you can specify the port if you want | 01:32 |
| tanath | shcherbak, mount requires sudo/gksu | 01:32 |
| Juest | hey, here's some log of a alsa script | 01:33 |
| titov | i want port 443 | 01:33 |
| Juest | http://pastebin.com/1RLJvkSv | 01:33 |
| magn3ts | saganbyte, not sure I parsed your sentence correctly, but there would need to be a bootloader on the front of the usb drive for the bios to detect it | 01:33 |
| shcherbak | tanath: Really? | 01:33 |
| Juest | i am having troubles with sound | 01:33 |
| astory | saganbyte: how did you prepare your usb? | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | titov: then use: https://address:443 | 01:33 |
| Juest | and i have enabled sanned | 01:33 |
| magn3ts | or however the bios detects bootable media, not sure for non-hard drives. | 01:33 |
| magn3ts | astory, he said he followed the ubuntu.com directions. | 01:33 |
| titov | https is not working | 01:33 |
| Juest | how do i specify x server port? | 01:33 |
| tanath | shcherbak, or at least the path you want to mount to. mounting through various apps like disk mounter applet automatically mount to /media though | 01:33 |
| saganbyte | astory: i used a usb installer creator that the ubuntu netbook section shows | 01:33 |
| titov | even with :443 at the end | 01:33 |
| Juest | hey | 01:34 |
| alad_o | Shcherbak, yes and i managed to solve it with the help of escott, i had to del the conf file and restart gdm, then i could get into the gui where i removed the setting | 01:34 |
| Juest | guys..... | 01:34 |
| titov | it's almost as if it is not listening on port 443 | 01:34 |
| astory | saganbyte: that should have done it correctly. Are you sure you correctly told your bios to boot off of it? | 01:34 |
| tanath | shcherbak, i figure there's a gnome function or something being used. like how reloading packages via update manager bypasses need for password | 01:34 |
| astory | Juest: can you give some details of your system? | 01:34 |
| astory | like, what sound card? | 01:34 |
| saganbyte | astory: i set the boot order to removable and now when i boot it says reboot and select propler boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device | 01:35 |
| Tyrnis | plop all | 01:35 |
| saganbyte | astory: there are only 3 usb slots | 01:35 |
| Juest | ok, whois me, i included a basic info in real name | 01:35 |
| saganbyte | astory: i tried all | 01:35 |
| astory | saganbyte: hrm, that definitely sounds like it doesn't think it's bootable. I'm out of ideas :/ | 01:35 |
| astory | without doing that you'd have a hard time installing | 01:36 |
| escott | saganbyte, bootable usb are tricky where did you get yours? | 01:36 |
| titov | ActionParsnip, if i make my vhost.conf file for that site *:443 rather than *:80, apache won't even start | 01:36 |
| titov | it will fail to start | 01:36 |
| astory | it would be terrible to do so, but you *could* take the hard drive out and use another computer | 01:36 |
| Juest | whoed me??? | 01:36 |
| titov | where else should i be specifying that port? | 01:36 |
| saganbyte | escott: i just used a thumb that was lying around | 01:36 |
| saganbyte | escott: do you think something could be wrong ith the thumb? like writeprotected etc? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | titov: you can specify it in the browser. You could ask in an apache channel, its more specific to your issue | 01:37 |
| escott | saganbyte, this is a normal usb not some special promo usb | 01:37 |

| magn3ts | tanath, are you sure that nautilus doesn't have privileges when it auto mounts | 01:41 |
| tanath | magn3ts, it doesn't automount | 01:41 |
| Juest | idk what's the url at alsa | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: no, I've seen that. There is the most importnat piece of info missing | 01:41 |

| Juest | i am at 28 | 01:42 |
| shcherbak | tanath: Wait, why partition is unmounted? | 01:42 |
| tanath | magn3ts, i need the command so i can run something on that partition via script. i want it to check if the path exists and if not, mount it and proceed | 01:42 |
| tanath | shcherbak, that's the default. i ahve to mount it again every time i reboot | 01:42 |
| Juest | line 40 says nothing about the location | 01:43 |
| tanath | shcherbak, doesn't automount | 01:43 |
| tanath | shcherbak, not sure i want it to either | 01:43 |
| tiagoscd | hello | 01:43 |
| magn3ts | tanath, why not put it in fstab or run your script as root? (I'm just spitballing ideas, I don't know how nautilus does it) | 01:43 |
| shcherbak | tanath: It may be easier to edit fstab, then run wired script. | 01:43 |
| tanath | magn3ts, mhm, i've thought of that. i don't think i want it automounting though | 01:43 |
| tiagoscd | can any member help me with a people.ubuntu.com connection? | 01:43 |
| Juest | ActionParsnip: ok, i have kernel 28 and the saned enabled | 01:44 |
| Juest | and dummy driver seems to take control | 01:44 |
| magn3ts | I think you can put it in fstab and not have it automount, but it will still allow non-root users to mount it. | 01:44 |
| Juest | nothing more | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: did you enable sound in the virtualbox config? | 01:44 |
| tanath | shcherbak, easiest would be to have that command. i don't think i want it automounting... | 01:44 |
| tanath | shcherbak, it's a matter of finding the command though | 01:45 |
| Juest | yes, but that is not making any sense | 01:45 |
| Juest | because is ok | 01:45 |
| Juest | perfectly configured | 01:45 |
| shcherbak | tanath: pmount should cope. And it is not command, your system is managed this not other way. | 01:45 |
| Juest | let me reboot and try with intel hd | 01:45 |
| tanath | magn3ts, i don't want to run the script as root, i want it quick and easy - minimal effort/interaction. it's to run a game. | 01:45 |

| tanath | magn3ts, don't have it installed | 01:48 |
| magn3ts | A regular user can not mount volumes that are not listed in fstab. | 01:48 |
| magn3ts | tanath, oh. :/ | 01:48 |
| tanath | magn3ts, obviously it isn't | 01:48 |
| codex84 | how u do that? | 01:48 |
| astory | codex84: winscp might do it too | 01:48 |
| tanath | magn3ts, nautilus and disk mounter applet both mount them just fine. i need to know how they do it. shcherbak pointed me at pmount. that may be how it works | 01:48 |
| magn3ts | tanath, I think it's been renamed. | 01:48 |
| Juest | so? | 01:48 |

| * Juest goes to dinner :( | 01:49 | |
| tanath | shcherbak, pmount isn't installed, so that can't be how it's being mounted | 01:49 |
| magn3ts | tanath, there's a lot of options here but none seem to be consistent with what I have installed: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/483460/how-to-mount-from-command-line-like-the-nautilus-does | 01:50 |
| shcherbak | tanath: magn3ts is right, fix fstab, pmount is optional package, you need to install it. | 01:50 |
| magn3ts | tanath, I think pmount is what you need to look into. I suspect nautilus has pmounts functionality built in rather than using it. | 01:50 |
| magn3ts | But I don't know any more to help you, sorry and I must leave now. | 01:51 |
| astory | thien: ubuntu.com says 5 gigs, you can probably get away with less than that | 01:51 |
| tanath | shcherbak, magn3ts: there's likely something built into gnome, like with the update manager not needing pass to update package list. and such things can be done via terminal, like changing wallpaper with gconftool | 01:51 |
| astory | is there a reason why dpkg doesn't install packages while downloading others? | 01:51 |
| tanath | shcherbak, no, that may work, but it's not what's happening here, and in my experience trying other forms of mounting breaks this magic kind | 01:51 |
| doncams | hello there | 01:52 |
| tanath | shcherbak, if fstab was a problem, then why does it work as is now? | 01:52 |
| maco | astory: probably related to packages needing to be installed in the right order | 01:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: saying "so" does absolutely nothing | 01:52 |
| doncams | I have a windows 7 and linux mint 9 partition and I want to replace linux mint with ubuntu | 01:52 |
| maco | astory: in the case of ones with circular dependencies, "right order" = "simultaneously" | 01:52 |
| doncams | how do I do that without affecting my win7? | 01:52 |
| magn3ts | astory, dependency resolution? | 01:52 |
| bazhang | doncams, then install over the mint partition | 01:52 |
| pac1 | when you install, partition manually. | 01:52 |
| tanath | magn3ts, that is unlikely. if it wanted pmount's functionality it would have a dependency. *nix is all about high modularity and reusing code rather than reinventing the wheel | 01:53 |
| doncams | how bout the grub? | 01:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: if you run the command again, you will make a url. Until you give us that url we can't do anything, that enough "so" for you? | 01:53 |
| pac1 | just reuse your mint partition. | 01:53 |
| bazhang | doncams, it'll write win in there for you | 01:53 |
| magn3ts | tanath, well the wallpaper is drawn by nautilus anyway. | 01:53 |
| astory | maco: but most packages don't have circular dependencies, it seems like a pretty easy optimization to make | 01:53 |
| doncams | ok... so it won't affect grub or anything? | 01:53 |
| pac1 | find out if grub2 will do windows 7. | 01:53 |
| magn3ts | tanath, I wouldn't be so sure. It's fucking nautilus after all :/ | 01:53 |

| astory | download packages in the same order you're going to install them, and install them once they've downloaded, but don't wait for the rest | 01:54 |
| shcherbak | tanath: gconftool, or gui - gconeditor | 01:54 |

| tanath | shcherbak, that there are commands to do things for basically everything via CLI | 01:54 |

I got a strange problem with 11.04 beta2: I booted the live session and could use the new unity ui. so far so good... then I installed it onto my HDD and booted from there. after logging in, ubuntu tells me my hardware wouldn't support the unity desktop, and now I have to use the old gnome desktop, no matter what session I select at login :/ I got a quite new notebook with i5 and nvidia 410m graphics, may that be a problem? | 01:58 |

| r0fs3ck5 | hi all. I am having trouble changing ownership permissions on a hard drive. I have tried chown but it keeps reverting to root as the owner. does anyone know what the problem might be? | 02:14 |
| ActionParsnip | thien: run: startx | 02:15 |
| astory | thien: ctrl+alt+f7 should do it | 02:15 |
| matias | shcherbak, I know but I installed it | 02:15 |
| ActionParsnip | r0fs3ck5: is the partition mounted read only | 02:15 |
| astory | there are 6 (f1-f6) plain ttys and 6 (f7-f12) graphical ttys | 02:15 |
| astory | but why are you logging in that way? | 02:15 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ActionParsnip: no, I can write to it if I browse as root | 02:15 |
| matias | maybe I should change it for a moment just to be able to use SSH | 02:15 |
| Juest | hey, any answers to my questions??? | 02:15 |
| bazhang | Juest, patience | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: until you get that url, I can't advise on your sound issue | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | matias: do what you want, your OS is not supported here | 02:16 |
| thien | ok startx not worked but ctrl+alt+f7 did | 02:16 |
| ActionParsnip | thien: then the X server was already running :) | 02:16 |
| arand | r0fs3ck5: Is it an ntfs/fat filesystem? | 02:16 |
| thien | ok | 02:17 |
| astory | !tty | thien | 02:17 |
| ubottu | thien: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 02:17 |
| Juest | I don't know what's the URL! | 02:17 |
| thien | if my computer crashes, what i have to do? | 02:17 |
| matias | done :) | 02:17 |
| r0fs3ck5 | arand: yes, ntfs, transferred from a windows 7 machine. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 | 02:18 |
| matias | it's working absolutely well in fact | 02:18 |
| astory | thien: what kind of crash? what are the symptoms? In practice I don't observe crashes often | 02:18 |
| arand | r0fs3ck5: You will need to set permissions at mount time. | 02:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: it's generated when you run the script, you removed the URL when you made the pastebin | 02:18 |
| Phong_ | anyone use vmware? | 02:18 |
| magn3ts | ActionParsnip, whats that script, let me try it. | 02:19 |
| GeekMan | hi i have been building a program called lightspark but i get an error when i start the make command i get these errors | 02:19 |
| magn3ts | Phong_, VirtualBox here. | 02:19 |
| Juest | yes, i have terminal output THERE'S NO URL | 02:19 |
| GeekMan | make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/spark.dir/parsing/amf3_generator.cpp.o] Error 1 | 02:19 |

| ActionParsnip | magn3ts: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 02:19 |
| thien | kind of crash? it's: still hear music, mouse is moveable. but if i click something, nothing runs :( | 02:19 |
| magn3ts | GeekMan, you're either building it wrong or the application is buggy. | 02:20 |
| arand | r0fs3ck5: Either by options passed to the moun command or options set in /etc/fstab | 02:20 |
| arand | *mount | 02:20 |
| magn3ts | thien, does it respond to keyboard input still? | 02:20 |
| astory | GeekMan: buggy is likely, at least when I tried lightspark. Try their help channels, wherever they are | 02:20 |
| magn3ts | thien, it might be a compiz bug. I get bit every once in a while. | 02:20 |
| Phong_ | i want to share a folder between OSes in vmware and host...don't know how to do it. | 02:20 |
| GeekMan | THX :) | 02:20 |
| magn3ts | Phong_, I would Google it tbh. | 02:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: it'll make output like this: http://pastebin.com/Ut783izE | 02:20 |
| Phong_ | i did but didn't find much | 02:20 |
| astory | thien: if you can get to a tty (ctrl+alt+f1) you can safely stop gdm and then restart it | 02:21 |
| thien | yes, i still press ctrl+alt+f1 (but dont know how to enter X again :)) ) | 02:21 |
| ActionParsnip | thien: CTRL+ALT+F7 | 02:21 |
| Phong_ | magn3ts, nevermind, i got it ;) | 02:21 |
| magn3ts | thien, `sudo service gdm restart` and then CTRL+ALT+F7 | 02:21 |
| thien | how to restart gdm ? | 02:21 |
| Juest | Thei | 02:21 |
| astory | thien: magn3ts +1 | 02:21 |
| Juest | upS! | 02:21 |
| thien | too many ways??? | 02:21 |
| Juest | thein | 02:21 |
| ruffleS | hi guys.. i need help getting the mounted volume icons out of my unity desktop. any1? | 02:22 |
| thien | wait for next crash, i will test | 02:22 |
| magn3ts | thien, what other way is there? That's the "right"way. | 02:22 |
| thien | lol | 02:22 |
| Juest | thien: kill the x by doing alt + prtscr + k | 02:22 |
| magn3ts | ruffleS, #ubuntu+1 | 02:22 |
| Juest | ok? | 02:22 |
| Juest | ok | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ruffleS: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/25/hide-partition-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ | 02:22 |
| astory | Juest: s/prtscr/sysrq/, although they're typically they same key | 02:22 |
| magn3ts | thien, I don't recommend killing of X mericilously. | 02:22 |
| Juest | ActionParsnip: and? | 02:22 |
| magn3ts | But you can do that, yes. | 02:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: if you say that to me one more time I am ignoring you, understand? | 02:23 |
| Phong_ | ok how do i map a share folder in ubuntu? | 02:23 |
| astory | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 02:23 |
| Phong_ | in windows i know, but not sure in ubuntu | 02:23 |
| thien | is there a way to make it crash ? (for testing) | 02:23 |
| bazhang | Juest, never suggest that | 02:23 |
| thien | lol | 02:23 |
| Juest | ok :( | 02:23 |
| Juest | why not bzhang? | 02:23 |
| Phong_ | does anyone know how to map a share folder in ubuntu? | 02:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: run: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh | 02:23 |
| astory | thien: if we knew of a way, we'd have probably gotten whoever's responsible to fix the bug :D | 02:23 |
| Juest | thien, maybe, only to kill it | 02:23 |
| bazhang | Juest, run the script above, give us the url, instead of just asking help me repeatedly | 02:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: select to upload to the server and it will make a screen like the one I pastebinned when I ran the exact same command | 02:24 |
| thien | is there a way to make cpu 100% load? (i think it'll crash) | 02:24 |
| Juest | and i am using root desktop | 02:24 |
| magn3ts | thien, lol you can do lots of things to cause that. usually when that happens for me ubuntu just hangs in general and I can't switch to tty, etc. | 02:25 |
| magn3ts | Juest, so? | 02:25 |
| magn3ts | Juest, I don't see how you can get that script to not output a url | 02:25 |
| Juest | so what? | 02:25 |
| astory | thien: `perl -e "while(1){}"` | 02:25 |
| magn3ts | Juest, jesus. We need that output to help you. | 02:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: until you get the URL we cannot fix sound for you, your move | 02:26 |
| Juest | yeah, it wasn't giving any ur | 02:26 |
| thien | it seems fun | 02:26 |
| ruffleS | nvm. i just found it | 02:26 |
| Juest | url | 02:26 |
| magn3ts | Juest, if you want, you can skip the auto upload and upload it yourself then. | 02:26 |
| aaa_ | haha | 02:26 |
| Juest | again same messages | 02:26 |
| Juest | Uploading information to www.alsa-project.org ... Done! | 02:26 |
| Juest | Your ALSA information is located at | 02:27 |
| thien | perl -e "while(1){}" -> nothing happens | 02:27 |
| Juest | Please inform the person helping you. | 02:27 |
| astory | thien: monitor your cpu usage :D | 02:27 |
| Juest | ActionParsnip: look | 02:27 |
| Juest | why that? | 02:27 |
| thien | 54% | 02:27 |
| astory | it should max out a core | 02:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: ok then save the data locally and pastebin the file | 02:27 |
| magn3ts | Juest, say "no", then upload the file somewhere. | 02:27 |
| astory | otherwise, it does nothing | 02:27 |
| thien | not enough to crash | 02:27 |
| astory | there are always forkbombs, but I don't suggest running one on your system | 02:28 |
| magn3ts | thien, you could fork bomb it but don't expect to recover w/o a reboot | 02:28 |
| astory | is that succinct one :{:|:}: ? | 02:28 |
| Juest | ok, i am doing it and pastebinig | 02:28 |
| Juest | to pastebin.ca | 02:28 |
| thien | oh, cpu1 or cpu2 100% | 02:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: the location is moot, just give the url | 02:29 |
| rww | astory: Do not put forkbombs in this channel. | 02:29 |
| magn3ts | idk but I wouldn't recommend pasting it in here. | 02:29 |
| thien | but not 2 cpu at one time | 02:29 |
| astory | rww: sorry :( | 02:29 |
| Juest | got it | 02:29 |
| Juest | http://pastebin.ca/2049967 | 02:29 |
| magn3ts | thien, yeah a fork bomb should run on my of your procs at once | 02:29 |
| Juest | yep, i pastebined with the script options | 02:29 |
| Juest | :D | 02:29 |
| dude | whats the syntax of "date" in a filename? im trying to get a backup to be dated in the filename | 02:30 |
| dude | %d? | 02:30 |
| tanath | magn3ts, found the code, but don't quite see how it works. can you help? | 02:30 |
| thien | ok. keep waiting to get a opportunity | 02:31 |
| thien | lol | 02:31 |
| Juest | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ca/2049967 | 02:31 |
| thien | what is the shortcut of system monitor? (like ctrl+alt+del in windows) | 02:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: ok have you install guest additions? | 02:31 |
| tanath | magn3ts, (disk mounter thing...) | 02:32 |
| Juest | yep, but seems to not work properly | 02:32 |
| astory | thien: you could define it to be a shortcut, I'm not sure there's one by default | 02:32 |
| magn3ts | tanath, I can look sure. | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | thien: http://cviorel.easyblog.ro/2009/01/26/ctrlaltdel-to-open-system-monitor-in-ubuntu/ | 02:32 |
| tanath | magn3ts, http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-applets/tree/drivemount?id=71f00ef594e09ece5f735a4599143b7b74262f85 | 02:32 |
| magn3ts | Don't know how much good I'll be :P | 02:32 |
| lucas_ | installed natty beta2 and proprietary nvidia drivers. Works ok... Why isn't there any xorg.conf anymore? | 02:32 |
| Juest | because the monitor works but not the rest | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Juest: all I can suggest is ask in #vbox | 02:32 |
| Juest | ok | 02:32 |
| rww | lucas_: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks! | 02:32 |
| magn3ts | lucas_, there hasn't been for a few versions of ubuntu. Also, try #ubuntu+1 | 02:33 |
| lucas_ | rww: thanks! | 02:33 |
| kyo | ---> #!/bin/bash question, how I make the script to run with wine? | 02:33 |
| Juest | and i see: Starting the VirtualBox Guest Additions ...fail! | 02:33 |
| astory | kyo: I think changing the shebang to be wine's path | 02:34 |
| Juest | and because i extended tty, i am seeing the log that's is replaced by X by default | 02:34 |
| astory | so for me, #!/usr/local/bin/wine | 02:34 |
| tanath | magn3ts, i've looked through all of it, especially drivemount.c but don't see how to get a command out of it. looks like it's implemented its own function | 02:34 |
| Juest | ok? | 02:34 |
| Juest | hey | 02:34 |
| thien | is there compiz in ubuntu or not, default? | 02:34 |
| tanath | magn3ts, and i'm not gonna bother poking through nautilus code :P | 02:35 |
| kyo | @astory: ok, going to try, not sure if that will work. Maybe an example could help. | 02:35 |
| Juest | yes, compiz installed by default | 02:35 |
| magn3ts | tanath, are you sure that applet actually mounts things? | 02:35 |
| tanath | magn3ts, mounts stuff to /media/* | 02:35 |
| astory | kyo: I don't know anything about wine scripting, but I *think* that bash interpretes the #! line as which executable to run your file under | 02:35 |
| tanath | magn3ts, just like nautilus | 02:35 |
| astory | i.e., #!/usr/bin/env python will run the file with python | 02:35 |
| ruffleS | ActionParsnip & magn3ts thank you | 02:36 |
| astory | can somebody verify/falsify me? | 02:36 |
| tanath | magn3ts, for instance, i used it to mount this: /dev/sda7 on /media/misc type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks) | 02:36 |
| astory | kyo: you can find your wine executable with `which wine` | 02:36 |
| magn3ts | tanath, http://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.28/GMount.html | 02:36 |
| aaron_wayne | does anyone know how to repair a disk if it has bad sectors? | 02:36 |
| magn3ts | tanath, it's using the GMount API. | 02:36 |
| tanath | magn3ts, hrm | 02:36 |
| astory | aaron_wayne: what's the filesystem? | 02:36 |
| magn3ts | I'm not sure what GMount is powered by in GNOME though. | 02:36 |
| kyo | astory: great! thanks. | 02:36 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, fat | 02:37 |
| astory | you could try fsck, but I don't know if it'll do fat | 02:37 |
| astory | if you suspect the disk to by dying, though, you should copy it to a new disk immediately | 02:37 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, oh wow, that didnt look good, apparently I cant do that while mounted | 02:38 |
| astory | O.o | 02:38 |
| astory | don't try to do disk repair online! | 02:38 |
| tanath | magn3ts, hrm. don't suppose you can wrangle a functional command out of that for a script? | 02:38 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, lol, no doubt | 02:38 |
| initial | yello | 02:39 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, do you know what swap space is too? I have 13gb that says its swap space | 02:39 |
| Juest | ActionParsnip: so, do you have any idea why pulseaudio and alsa aren't working? | 02:39 |
| tanath | magn3ts, prolly needs to be a compiled app to call the api though | 02:39 |
| === alhen is now known as Guest68991 | ||
| astory | aaron_wayne: it's a special type of partition used to store program data that should be in RAM but doesn't fit | 02:39 |
| Juest | and seems arecorder is constantly using sound, why that? | 02:39 |
| pksadiq | !swap | aaron_wayne | 02:39 |
| ubottu | aaron_wayne: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 02:39 |
| magn3ts | tanath, sure, but it might use a subsystem that can be more easily scripted. | 02:39 |
| astory | you shouldn't need to copy it to do disk backup; it's wiped (or at least disregarded) after a reboot | 02:39 |
| magn3ts | tanath, if it's using HAL or whatever, there's probably a CLI way to invoke it. | 02:39 |
| Juest | hey | 02:39 |
| tanath | magn3ts, the stackoverflow page suggested it does use HAL | 02:40 |
| magn3ts | aaron_wayne, 13gb seems a bit huge for swap | 02:40 |
| aaron_wayne | cool, k, thanks for the help, i wil lhave to boot up to live and try that command, is that my only option to try? | 02:40 |
| astory | magn3ts: also harmless | 02:40 |
| thien | follow: http://cviorel.easyblog.ro/2009/01/26/ctrlaltdel-to-open-system-monitor-in-ubuntu/ -> but it show Shutdown the Computer ??? | 02:40 |
| magn3ts | tanath, yeah, it's over 2 years old now though and lots of things have changed. | 02:40 |
| tanath | magn3ts, true | 02:40 |
| magn3ts | astory, I never know what to believe. I hear people all the time saying not to have too large of a swap partition. | 02:40 |
| astory | aaron_wayne: there may be other disk recovery tools; for ntfs you have to use (afaik) window's CHKDSK | 02:40 |
| astory | magn3ts: linux deals with swap well, and it shouldn't hurt you | 02:41 |
| aaron_wayne | magn3ts, yeah, i dont know, i think i have some missing space on the disk though, could be related to the bad sectors i guess, i have had problems ever since i tried to boot backtrack4 | 02:41 |
| astory | my swap partition never has anything in it unless I'm out of RAM | 02:41 |
| astory | aaron_wayne: you should probably copy the data to a new disk | 02:41 |
| astory | dd will do this | 02:41 |
| magn3ts | aaron_wayne, are you experiencing data loss or are you concerned about the integrity of your drive? I missed what the problem you're trying to solve was. | 02:42 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, if i boot live and use gparted, can i just format the whole drive, and reinstall OS, would that clear any issues and any missing space/to many partitions? | 02:42 |
| astory | aaron_wayne: it wouldn't solve the problem that your drive has possibly been damaged, but if you didn't care about the data, and weren't worried about that, yes | 02:43 |
| astory | a reinstall would "fix" things | 02:43 |
| astory | since presumably it would notice the bad sectors and not use them | 02:43 |
| astory | also, fat is not very failure-tolerant, a more modern filesystem would be safer | 02:43 |
| magn3ts | Running fsck with lots of force could do roughly the same thing though... | 02:43 |
| magn3ts | Oh... fat? | 02:43 |
| astory | yeah | 02:43 |
| astory | fsck will probably say "try CHKDSK, you noob" | 02:44 |
| astory | which is mostly unhelpful | 02:44 |
| magn3ts | I love chkdsk! /s | 02:44 |
| aaron_wayne | magn3ts, no data loss, I am running dual boot, and both OS's want to run disk check ocassionally on startup, and i was looking into and found that I had the bad sectors, long story short, dual boot, tried to boot backtrack, back to strictly windows, use gparted to merge partitions, lost some space, back to dual boot right now | 02:44 |
| tanath | magn3ts, thing is, if i mount or unmount from either nautilus or disk mounter the change is noticed by the other. with manual mounting i can end up with dangling directories and such | 02:44 |
| thien | what can i do with Configuration Editor ? | 02:45 |
| magn3ts | tanath, yeah I know what you're talking about. | 02:45 |
| astory | aaron_wayne: reformating will probably work around bad sectors | 02:45 |
| magn3ts | tanath, they notice it because they both listen to GVolumeMonitor | 02:45 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, and i just lose the use of the bad sectors? | 02:45 |
| === muon is now known as Guest32712 | ||
| astory | aaron_wayne: they're bad! | 02:45 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, no way to make them un-bad? | 02:46 |
| magn3ts | tanath, presumably whatever (HAL?) notices the new devices and mounts it or actually handles the mounting... is observed by something in GNOME which then emits an event to diskmounter applet and nautilus and whoeever else is listening to GVolumeMontior | 02:46 |
| astory | aaron_wayne: it's typically physical damage, so no | 02:46 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, ohh, hmmm, wonder how that happened then | 02:46 |
| magn3ts | yeah a few bad sectors isn't bad. I'd run the WD/Seagate disc though to check for physical health of the drive. | 02:46 |
| astory | aaron_wayne: hard drives are imperfect; but there are things that increase the risk of damage, in particular, moving them while they have spun up | 02:47 |
| tanath | magn3ts, question is... how to go the other way. poke it to mount a given partition | 02:47 |
| magn3ts | but it sounds like your partition table's been through a lot. Rebuilding your partitions and starting over would probably make life easier, but as astory said, only if you trust the physical integrity of the drive. Otherwise you'll be in a bigger problem just as fast. | 02:47 |
| habriel | how are you all what program suggest for monitor the network band width with nagios | 02:47 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, yeah, i have done that before, it says i have 3 bad sectors | 02:47 |
| magn3ts | tanath, yup, no idea. | 02:47 |
| Aginor | aaron_wayne: the media in a harddrive sometimes degrade over time, so once you start having bad sectors it's likely that you will have more of them | 02:47 |
| magn3ts | tanath, you should try #gnome in irc.gnome.org | 02:47 |
| aaron_wayne | Aginor, not good | 02:48 |
| Galaxor | Hi. I'm on 10.04, trying to downgrade to php 5.2. | 02:48 |
| astory | aaron_wayne: that's probably not too much to worry about, but yeah, be vigilant if you intend to keep using the drive | 02:48 |
| tanath | magn3ts, hm. well thanks for trying | 02:48 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, yeah, this one is gonan have to last for a little while | 02:48 |
| Galaxor | I added the php 5.2 ppa that everybody is suggesting: add-apt-repository ppa:txwikinger/php5.2 | 02:48 |
| magn3ts | lol Galaxor. On an old (non LTS) version of ubuntu and trying to downgrade PHP. May I ask why? | 02:48 |
| astory | aaron_wayne: drives aren't very expensive, you can get 2TB for under $100 | 02:48 |
| Galaxor | but when I apt-get update, it IGN that repo. | 02:48 |
| Galaxor | magn3ts: 10.04 is lts | 02:49 |
| magn3ts | astory, sad, I paid $150 for 1.5TB a while back. | 02:49 |
| astory | and data security and peace-of-mind are very valuable, so weigh the options | 02:49 |
| magn3ts | Galaxor, oh crap, my bad. | 02:49 |
| astory | magn3ts: things will always get cheaper. I paid god-knows-how-much for a P4 in 2005, but I don't feel bad about that :D | 02:49 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, not too bad to install in laptop? i had considered that a while back anyway just to upgrade, i have 500 g right now, would like to go to at least 1tb | 02:49 |
| astory | aaron_wayne: oh, laptop drives are probably a little more expensive | 02:49 |
| Galaxor | magn3ts: Yeah, I'm trying to move from debian to ubuntu, but the apps on my machine are not ready for php 5.3 yet. | 02:50 |
| bazhang | lets take the hardware chat to ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic please | 02:50 |
| === cristian_ is now known as CRistian10 | ||
| thien | docky doesn't launch Nautilus, how to fix it? | 02:50 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, yeah, i have looked at a few on newegg, thought that sounded a little low, if i get a new drive I wouldnt be able to use windows anymore just off a recovery disk would I? | 02:50 |
| aaron_wayne | astory, or just not be able to update it | 02:50 |
| bazhang | aaron_wayne, lets take this to ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic please | 02:51 |
| magn3ts | thien, when you find out, let me know. I struggle with that all the time. | 02:51 |
| Galaxor | I just don't understand why apt-get update is IGN the ppa. Is there some debug log I can look at to see why this is getting ignored? | 02:51 |
| habriel | how are you all what program suggest for monitor the network band width with nagios | 02:51 |
| magn3ts | Galaxor, you probably need to force the version | 02:51 |
| magn3ts | Galaxor, unless the package is named something specific/different. | 02:51 |
| Galaxor | magn3ts: In order to pin the versions, I edited the file /etc/apt/preferences.d/php5.2 | 02:52 |
| Juest | hey there, where i can really edit grub entries??? | 02:52 |
| bazhang | !grub2 | Juest have a read | 02:53 |
| ubottu | Juest have a read: 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) | 02:53 |
| magn3ts | Galaxor, hm, I'm not sure then. | 02:53 |
| Galaxor | The settings I used to pin it are the ones here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~txwikinger/+archive/php5.2 | 02:53 |
| Galaxor | Hm. Does that file need to be named *.conf or something? | 02:53 |
| Galaxor | Or do I need to tell apt to reload the settings or something? | 02:54 |
| thien | a script can run silent? how to? | 02:54 |
| magn3ts | Galaxor, I'm really not sure sorry. I only know how to use Synpatic to pin versions. And actually last time I tried to do that even... it was broken. | 02:55 |
| astory | habriel: I don't know what nagios is, but iftop will monitor bandwidth | 02:55 |
| Galaxor | hm. Maybe google knows... | 02:55 |
| izaak | i'm having some strange conflicts between my ppas - how do i figure out which repository a package comes from? i tried dpkg -s, surprisingly no luck. | 02:56 |
| thegoodcushion | How do I get ls to behave like OS X's ls, which puts all the files that begin with a capital letter first, followed by those that begin with a lowercase? | 02:56 |

| clint_ | How do i change how firefox looks? | 02:58 |
| clint_ | it is ok but very very blue | 02:58 |
| ohzie | clint_: you can install skins and themes for it under tools | 02:58 |
| clint_ | ok cool | 02:58 |
| ohzie | I believe it's in the 'addons' window. ;D | 02:58 |
| clint_ | thanks | 02:58 |
| ohzie | There are a lot of themes. | 02:58 |
| clint_ | looks like a futuristic game show right now | 02:59 |
| Galaxor | magn3ts: Oh. /etc/apt/preferences.d/ files didn't seem to get read. When I put that pinning config into /etc/apt/preferences, it worked out. | 02:59 |
| clint_ | cool eye candy for night use though | 02:59 |

| Phong_ | i love k3b software | 03:02 |
| rww | clint_: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and official derivatives, which Ultimate Edition isn't :p | 03:02 |
| Phong_ | it's the best k3b, i compile it | 03:02 |
| astory | thegoodcushion: I googled "ubuntu ls capitals first" | 03:02 |
| izaak | astory, gah :P | 03:02 |
| Phong_ | i think ubuntu way better then fedora | 03:03 |
| clint_ | ? so you are saying I have something hacked up or??? | 03:03 |
| Phong_ | i meant ubuntu is more popular | 03:03 |
| ohzie | Phong_: So do a lot of people. Fedora is horrible. | 03:03 |
| rww | clint_: No, I'm saying that the Ubuntu derivative you're using isn't supported here. | 03:03 |
| rww | Phong_: #ubuntu-offtopic for that sort of thing | 03:03 |
| thien | Phong_ are you vietnamese? | 03:03 |

| thegoodcushion | astory: yeah, it works perfectly | 03:04 |
| thegoodcushion | astory: it's a UTF-8 thing apparently | 03:04 |
| rww | clint_: Any question you ask is an automatic "You're not using Ubuntu, please go ask your distribution for help." | 03:04 |
| clint_ | But it is Ubuntu | 03:04 |
| rww | clint_: No, it isn't. It's an unofficial derivative that we don't support. | 03:04 |
| keithclark | Ah, I see that my Atheros card does not work under Ubuntu at present. | 03:05 |
| clint_ | Ok, not to argue but how so? | 03:05 |
| cjae | where do I see images that i mounted using acetoneiso in my filesystem? | 03:05 |
| satrio | hi | 03:05 |
| rww | clint_: http://www.ubuntu.com/project/derivatives => Anything on the top section is supported in #ubuntu. | 03:06 |
| clint_ | I mention I have UE and all of a sudden this chat room shuns me? | 03:06 |
| tictax | cjae did you specify a mount point, go look under /media its the default location | 03:06 |
| rww | !derivatives | 03:06 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:06 |
| satrio | hi all | 03:06 |
| rww | clint_: correct. #ubuntu is the technical support channel for Ubuntu. You're not using Ubuntu. | 03:06 |
| kavurt | http://www.russianinternet.com/radio/radiodacha96.html this is a radio station. can i play it using a media player?? | 03:06 |
| Adom | anyone know how to use exFAT filesystem on linux for free? found Tuxera site that makes you buy the driver.j | 03:07 |
| clint_ | Well there is not a UE support, this program was already installed out of the box | 03:07 |
| ohzie | clint_: If it makes you feel any better, it isn't because you're not using "pure" ubuntu and we're being elitist. It's because some of the base-level things that 'other distros' change really make it difficult to apply ubuntu-specific support to those other distros. A classic example is how Backtrack's networking behaves, by default, completely unlike anything Ubuntu has ever acted like. | 03:07 |
| cjae | tictax: I did look there, I am using kde 4.6 is that a problem? Dont see where I would specify a mount point | 03:08 |
| rww | clint_: Available support options is something you should consider when choosing a distribution. | 03:08 |

| japtol | can anyone direct me to good beginner places for ubuntu | 03:11 |
| cjae | tictax: thanks got it /home/user/virtualdrives | 03:11 |
| ohzie | softcoder: Okay, try booting into single user. If it's still the way 'it used to be' you go into the boot line in grub and add a 1 to the end of the line. For the runlevel. | 03:11 |
| tictax | welcome cjae | 03:11 |
| ohzie | and then see if you can kill task tracker-miner-f or whatever that was | 03:12 |
| softcoder | what does adding 1 do? | 03:12 |
| KXTwo | I have a stupid question | 03:12 |
| Aginor | japtol: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-manual https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/FAQ | 03:12 |
| tictax | there are no stupid qs | 03:12 |
| ohzie | softcoder: a 1 at the end of your boot line would over-ride the default runlevel with 1....a few years ago. | 03:12 |
| KXTwo | Im reading something that tells me to read the man for cron(8) but when I do a man on cron its cron (1) | 03:12 |
| KXTwo | im not understanding the difrerence | 03:13 |
| ohzie | softcoder: It should still work, I think, unless way more has changed than I'm able to cope with. | 03:13 |
| rww | KXTwo: 'man 8 cron' is the syntax for telling man to look in a particular section | 03:13 |
| escott | softcoder, tracker will do a lot of file i/o but it should be throttled you might try disabling it | 03:13 |
| softcoder | how to disable it? | 03:14 |
| === Douche is now known as derp | ||
| KXTwo | almost like a page? | 03:14 |
| tictax | KXTwo: http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/cron8.html | 03:14 |
| escott | see what is listed in your gnome-session startup applications | 03:14 |
| rww | KXTwo: more like a chapter, I guess. section 1 is general commands, section 8 is sysadmin commands and daemons. | 03:14 |
| FrozenFire | Is it possible to manually reorder GRUB's boot menu? | 03:15 |
| escott | softcoder, just to confirm this is AFTER you get to the gdm login screen right? | 03:15 |
| softcoder | yes | 03:15 |
| softcoder | actually we were working in ubu for hours | 03:15 |
| softcoder | then suddenly bang | 03:15 |
| KXTwo | ok I guess im still not understanding | 03:15 |
| softcoder | this happens from time to time on this one system | 03:15 |
| KXTwo | when I man cron | 03:15 |
| KXTwo | it says cron(8) | 03:16 |
| softcoder | not showing anything to do with tracker in gnamoe startup | 03:16 |
| KXTwo | but if I try to man 5 cron it says it doesnt exist? | 03:16 |
| tictax | FrozenFire, its GRUB2 under Ubuntu 10.10, os-prober sets the order, you can change the default boot option, but im not sure you can change the order | 03:16 |
| softcoder | how can i kill this dumb thing that goes randmly out of control | 03:16 |
| rww | KXTwo: Take for example crontab, which has pages in section 1 (general commands) and 5 (file formats). You'd use 'man 1 crontab' or 'man 5 crontab' to tell man whether you want the manual entry for the command or the file. | 03:17 |
| softcoder | stupid tracker-store killingthe CPU | 03:17 |
| softcoder | i HATE IT! | 03:17 |
| softcoder | I want it gone!! | 03:17 |
| escott | softcoder, is this a multi-core system. Even if tracker were using 100% CPU you should still have others | 03:18 |
| escott | softcoder, then uninstall tracker sudo apt-get remove tracker | 03:18 |
| Nonesthecool | anyone ever had their number keys (not the Shift+ keys) not work? How can I fix it? | 03:18 |
| softcoder | ok | 03:18 |
| softcoder | away it goes! | 03:18 |
| KXTwo | how does it determine which section if there are multiple? | 03:18 |
| thebigt | im having problems getting my computer to boot a install cd | 03:18 |
| escott | softcoder, do look at your gnome startup applications though | 03:18 |
| rww | KXTwo: it takes the lowest-numbered section, I'd guess | 03:18 |
| KXTwo | I hate reading manual pages anyway its usually easier to look it up online lol | 03:19 |
| KXTwo | I just have to make my script run every 20 minutes and I think crontab is the right way to do it | 03:19 |
| cryptopsy | my mic only works well when i get really close to it | 03:19 |
| cryptopsy | what's wrong? | 03:19 |
| thebigt | and i have run out of things to try to get it to work | 03:19 |
| cryptopsy | otherwise the fuzz is just drowning it out | 03:19 |

| rww | KXTwo: yup. 'crontab -e' to edit crontab, and you want to add a line saying */20 * * * * commandname goes here | 03:20 |
| keithclark | Boy, it sure would be nice if ubuntu would go through wireless card by card and solve those constantly troublesome problems instead of developing new desktops. | 03:20 |
| softcoder | ok tracker gone.. we are happy | 03:20 |
| softcoder | thx | 03:20 |
| softcoder | our dual core is ours again | 03:20 |
| KXTwo | what are thes * for | 03:20 |
| escott | cryptopsy, adjust analog mic boost in "alsamixer" | 03:20 |
| KXTwo | and how does it know 20 minutes and not 20 seconds or 20 hours | 03:20 |
| rww | KXTwo: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week | 03:20 |
| rww | KXTwo: the wikipedia entry on cron is informative ;) | 03:21 |
| Nonesthecool | anyone ever had their number keys (not the Shift+ keys) not work? How can I fix it? | 03:21 |
| KXTwo | sorry thtas normally waht I do | 03:21 |
| KXTwo | but you were giving me all the info for free so :) | 03:21 |
| tictax | infoleech :) | 03:21 |
| rww | KXTwo: hehe, that's what I'm here for ;) | 03:21 |
| escott | cryptopsy, open a command line. type alsamixer[RETURN] hit [TAB] to get to the INPUT section use the left/right/up/down arrows to adjust | 03:21 |
| KXTwo | you wouldnt happen to know why its not letting me edit my file would you? | 03:21 |
| rww | KXTwo: are you using crontab -e? | 03:21 |
| piero | Hi! Is there a good benchmark program I can use on my system? (I have compiled a new kernel and build some few hacks and now I want to test it) | 03:22 |
| KXTwo | when you do a crontab -e you get a nice little message explaining to edit the file | 03:22 |
| KXTwo | but its not letting me dit for some reason | 03:22 |
| KXTwo | oh god | 03:22 |
| KXTwo | I know why | 03:22 |
| escott | KXTwo, must be root | 03:22 |

| rww | KXTwo: change your $EDITOR to pico, then. | 03:22 |
| arand | piero: I guess the folks att phoronix have their test suite | 03:22 |
| KXTwo | do you know vim and how to exit it? I used to know it but I have forgotten everything | 03:23 |
| escott | KXTwo, ":q!" | 03:23 |
| tictax | :q! | 03:23 |

| tictax | write quit is :wq! :) | 03:24 |
| piero | ok | 03:24 |
| KXTwo | so do I just read EDITOR and type pico? | 03:24 |
| tictax | KXTwo echo it | 03:25 |
| tictax | but its only for you current session then | 03:25 |
| tictax | you have to set in bash.rc | 03:25 |

| n2i | rww :) sorry! I will join that channel now | 03:26 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: you can also run: export EDITOR=nano; crontab -e | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: if the con'd activity neesd root, then run: sudo crontab -e | 03:27 |
| gambio | hey guys, can anyone ell me if it's possible to install Linux onto an external USB hard drive and use it to boot/run my iMac 8,1? Thanks :) | 03:27 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: if you have an x server, you can use gnome-schedule as a gui to cron | 03:27 |
| izinucs | gambio: yes | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | gambio: should be fine, yes | 03:28 |
| KXTwo | I run ubuntu with x but im working via ssh on command line for projects at school | 03:28 |
| KXTwo | are nano and pico the same btw, I've been meaning to ask that | 03:28 |
| gambio | sweet. anything I should do specifically for this? Just install it to a partition on an xHD? | 03:28 |
| izinucs | KXTwo: basically.. | 03:28 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: i see, if you connect to the ssh with the -X switch you can use x forwarding if the system you have connected to has an x server too :) | 03:29 |
| tictax | both are simple editors | 03:29 |
| rww | KXTwo: Ubuntu installs nano by default, and actually loads nano if you run pico. | 03:29 |
| gambio | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano_(text_editor) | 03:29 |
| ActionParsnip | gambio: you'll need some tweaks for sound which I know of, otherwise it depends on the hardware | 03:29 |
| KXTwo | ActionParsnip, I dont think thats really where I should be at in my learning process yet, but Ill keep that in mind in the future :) | 03:29 |
| rww | KXTwo: reason being that nano is an open source clone of pico. | 03:29 |
| KXTwo | ok so thats why on my own system I run nano but pico on school network | 03:29 |
| gambio | ActionParsnip: Nono, I mean about the actual installation to an external HD. I already run linux just fine on my iMac (I'm in it now :)) | 03:29 |
| tictax | gambino, a Live edition you mean then? | 03:30 |
| KXTwo | so I edited .bashrc and added EDITOR=pico but its still loading vim | 03:30 |
| KXTwo | I know its a superior editor but im in no mood to learn a new one right now lol | 03:31 |
| gambio | tictax: err, basically just a normal install of natty or maverick but to an external HD rather than an internal HD | 03:31 |
| tictax | KXTwo the bashrc file needs to be loaded if im not mistaking | 03:31 |
| tictax | log out and in again | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: after adding to the file did you run: source ~/.bashrc | 03:31 |
| KXTwo | even when I do EDITOR=pico its not working | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | tictax: no need to log out | 03:31 |
| Lazzlo | don't log out...just source the file. | 03:32 |
| Lazzlo | . .bashrc | 03:32 |
| tictax | its read on the fly then, bashrc? | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | tictax: no, thats what the source file does, it tells the system to reread the file | 03:32 |
| tictax | clear, learned something again :) | 03:32 |
| KXTwo | something isnt right | 03:32 |
| ActionParsnip | tictax: edit the .bashrc then run: source ~/.bashrc and you can work as expected :) | 03:33 |
| KXTwo | ive added it to the bashrc | 03:33 |
| KXTwo | ive typed EDITOR=pico in the command line | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: run: source ~/.bashrc | 03:33 |
| KXTwo | and its still oloading vim | 03:33 |
| KXTwo | I did that ActionParsnip | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: in bashrc did you add: export EDITOR=pico | 03:33 |
| escott | KXTwo, if you are sudo-ing crontab -e it may be looking for "root"s $EDITOR | 03:33 |
| ActionParsnip | escott: good point | 03:34 |
| escott | KXTwo, so add it to /root/.bashrc as well | 03:34 |
| KXTwo | I dont have access to root | 03:34 |
| codex84 | how u start the | 03:34 |
| escott | KXTwo, yes you do thats what sudo is | 03:34 |
| codex84 | vsftpd server | 03:34 |
| escott | KXTwo, sudo pico /root/.bashrc | 03:35 |
| KXTwo | no I literally dont have access | 03:35 |
| KXTwo | its not on my system | 03:35 |
| KXTwo | im logged into a system being used by about a dozen of us adn im not a sys admin | 03:36 |
| thien | my docky seems to be able to launch Nautilus stably, anyone wanna try my way? | 03:36 |
| KXTwo | nothing I do will open this with pico and its annoying | 03:37 |
| KXTwo | guess I have no choice but to do vim | 03:37 |
| escott | KXTwo, but are you a member of the crontab group? | 03:38 |
| KXTwo | no clue | 03:39 |
| KXTwo | rww, did you have an extra * earlier.? | 03:40 |
| KXTwo | if I want something every 20 minutes I put a / in front of it so it should be */20*** right? | 03:40 |
| matias | hey, I have a new problem, I already created a backup and then I rebooted the system but I forgot to do something so I'm trying again to boot using the Live CD I have but now it doesn't work at all, it gives me a BusyBox's prompt or similar, I have never seen it | 03:41 |
| matias | it's the same CD that was working 30 minutes ago O.o | 03:41 |
| matias | any idea? | 03:41 |
| ChronicSyncope | does anyone in here know how i get permission to talk in #gamedev? The channel is full of people and you don't get auto-voiced... | 03:41 |
| matias | the prompt says "(initramfs)" | 03:42 |
| KXTwo | omg this is like the simplest thing and I cant get it to work | 03:42 |
| matias | and above that it says "BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian...) Built-in shell (ash) \n Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands." | 03:43 |
| matias | it's absolutely weird, it was working 30 minutes ago | 03:43 |
| Internat | matias: i had that error on the new install disk | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: once you grasp the basics, it is :) | 03:44 |
| matias | Internat, how did you fix it? | 03:45 |
| Internat | downloaded the netinstall disk and tried again :( | 03:45 |
| matias | it doesn't make any sense, I was using it a while ago :P | 03:45 |
| escott | KXTwo, first check if there is a /etc/cron.allow or /etc/cron.deny just in case you are prohibited from creating cron tasks | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | matias: gutsy isn't supported anymore | 03:45 |
| KXTwo | ActionParsnip, lol I got it to save finally how will I know if it works. will it show my script running at the alotted time interval? | 03:45 |
| matias | stop to say that, it's not about Gutsy | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: that as well as reviewing the cron log file | 03:46 |
| KXTwo | well i set it for every minute and it hasnt run my script yet | 03:46 |
| conor | hi all, flash applications like chatroulette or chat prgrams won't work for me on Ubuntu 10.10 | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | matias: it is, the apps and kernel is gutsy | 03:46 |
| conor | hi all, flash applications like chatroulette or chat prgrams won't work for me on Ubuntu 10.10 | 03:46 |
| conor | # | 03:46 |
| KXTwo | */1 * * * * ./bot.sh | 03:46 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: there are also flash things like @boot | 03:47 |
| KXTwo | no clue | 03:47 |
| matias | how can a live CD can change in 30 min? it's... static lol | 03:47 |
| escott | KXTwo, give the full path to bot.sh ie /home/KXTwo/bot.sh | 03:47 |
| Internat | ActionParsnip, it was happening to me yesterday, and mine was from the latest natty beta disk | 03:47 |
| matias | s/can// | 03:47 |
| ActionParsnip | matias: doesn't matter, your OS isn't suported here | 03:47 |
| Phong_ | how can i install this: Package lib32asound2 is not installed. | 03:47 |
| matias | I'm not forcing you to answer, stop saying that u.u | 03:48 |
| KXTwo | escott, being that it is a script would I add kxtwo/./bot.sh | 03:48 |
| ActionParsnip | matias: I'm enforcing the channel rules | 03:48 |
| Phong_ | i try to install something and it said: Package lib32asound2 is not installed. | 03:48 |
| === gabcall is now known as gab73 | ||
| ActionParsnip | Phong_: what is the output of: lsb_release -d | 03:49 |
| escott | KXTwo, when you say ./bot.sh it means that a file bot.sh should be in whatever directory the cron starts you in which may not be /home/USERNAME/ | 03:49 |
| Internat | sorry, did i miss something, when did we determine that this issue was gutsy related? | 03:49 |
| KXTwo | well do you see why im asking though | 03:50 |
| KXTwo | ./ is how you run a script | 03:50 |
| matias | I will have to download 700MB just to use the live cd :| | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: escott is right. I suggest youuse absolute paths, (referenced from /) | 03:50 |
| Phong_ | ActionParsnip, never mind, i think i got it to install | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: ./ tells the interpretter to look in the current folder, you will need to specify the full path to the script | 03:50 |
| escott | KXTwo, . is the current working directory so ./ is just a file in the current folder | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: also, in linux you don't strictly need the file extension, it will run just as fine without | 03:51 |
| KXTwo | how come I cant run my scripts just typing the name then? | 03:51 |
| matias | will it work if I do # cat file.iso > /dev/sdb && sync ? | 03:51 |
| KXTwo | Im aware of that one ActionParsnip Im just trying to follow the examples of my teacher and its a good way for me to know if its a script or not | 03:51 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: because the terminal has a path to where you currently are (the pwd or present working directory) | 03:52 |
| matias | (where "file" is the ISO that I'm downloading) | 03:52 |
| ActionParsnip | KXTwo: the cron system doesn't have this so it won't work | 03:52 |
| Internat | i dont expect that will work matias | 03:52 |
| KXTwo | but if im already in the directory my script is in why do I need to ./ any script? | 03:52 |
| matias | no? | 03:52 |
| matias | why not? | 03:52 |
| dataviruset | my NIC didn't work, so i downloaded a driver from the manufacturers website and compiled it. i'm running kernel 2.6.32-28 on my ubuntu server 10.04 right now, will i have to recompile the driver when i boot the newest kernel 2.6.32-31? | 03:52 |
| Aginor | matias: no, that will not work well at all, you usually want to have a partition table and partitions on a harddrive, what you proposed would overwrite the partition table | 03:53 |
| escott | KXTwo, because of your $PATH which might come from .bashrc. but you can't count on cron running a full login shell for you so you may not have all the $PATH variables in your cron environment | 03:53 |
| izinucs | KXTwo: that's the way it works | 03:53 |
| Internat | cause its a cd image. so it has the isoboot and all that kinda fun loaders | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | matias: you can do that with img files, some distros are made so that will work, Ubuntu doesn't afaik | 03:53 |
| matias | hmn, ok | 03:53 |
| KXTwo | crazyness! lol | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | dataviruset: yes to give the driver to the new kernel | 03:53 |
| matias | so I will use the Startup Disk Creator | 03:53 |
| KXTwo | alright Im seeing no evidence of my script running | 03:53 |
| ActionParsnip | matias: or unetbootin but you will need software, yes | 03:53 |
| Rehan | anyway to batch rename a bunch of files that are named something like Test_xxxxx.png to Flash_xxxxx.png ? Thank you | 03:54 |
| dataviruset | ActionParsnip: okay. but one thought, if i have 2.6.32-31 installed but not booted, can i build a driver (or more correctly "kernel module") for it before booting it? | 03:54 |
| HighFiveGhost | Hello | 03:55 |
| KXTwo | */1 * * * * /home/kkrauss1/bot.sh | 03:55 |
| KXTwo | will it do my script in the background? | 03:55 |
| escott | Rehan, for f in *.png; do; cp $f `echo $f | sed -e s/Test/Flash/`; done; | 03:55 |
| escott | Rehan, that may break horrible if there are spaces/punctuation in the filenames | 03:56 |
| JAYTEE_ | how do I bring up or make an Icon on my task bar for ophcracker | 03:56 |
| === jesse is now known as Guest95807 | ||
| Rehan | escott: thank you so much. The only punctuation are underscores. | 03:56 |
| HighFiveGhost | I keep getting a USB error http://paste.ubuntu.com/598125/ -help? | 03:57 |
| escott | HighFiveGhost, thats not meaningful when are you getting this error | 03:57 |
| HighFiveGhost | escott: When I open it up, with a usb device attatched | 03:58 |
| Aginor | data0faust: if you use dkms it should in theory "just work" with future kernels | 03:58 |
| KXTwo | oh man this whole thing is screwy now | 03:58 |
| Nonesthecool | anyone ever had their number keys (not the Shift+ keys) not work? How can I fix it? | 03:58 |
| JAYTEE_ | Does anybody know how to use ophcracker on ubuntu????? | 03:58 |
| Rehan | escott: in your example do I replace f with Test? | 03:59 |
| Rehan | escott: trying to batch rename all the Tests to Flash | 03:59 |
| izinucs | Nonesthecool: do they now move the mouse pointer? | 03:59 |
| escott | KXTwo, add to your script (at the top) "date > /home/kkrauss1/test.txt" | 03:59 |
| Nonesthecool | izinucs: nope | 03:59 |
| escott | no thats what echo $f | sed does | 03:59 |
| KXTwo | excott im so jacked up right now its not even funny lol | 04:00 |
| === joshua is now known as Guest38883 | ||
| KXTwo | its doing it in the background | 04:00 |
| dataviruset | if i have 2.6.32-31 installed but not booted, can i build a driver (or more correctly "kernel module") a later version before booting it? | 04:00 |
| Rehan | escott: thanks | 04:00 |

| KXTwo | so the only way to kill the bot that my script starts up is to kill the process and thats not working | 04:00 |
| Nonesthecool | izinucs: they work when a ubuntu password prompt comes up (thank god) | 04:00 |

| Aginor | dataviruset: yes, but you're better off using dkms, that should automatically rebuild the kernel module for future versions of the kernel as well | 04:00 |
| Aginor | dataviruset: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/DKMSPackaging | 04:01 |

| HighFiveGhost | escott: and I've installed extension pack | 04:01 |
| escott | HighFiveGhost, you need to give more background. What extension pack, what USB device... | 04:02 |
| escott | KXTwo, so is your bot starting? | 04:02 |

| Guest38883 | hola | 04:05 |

| hkmix | Anyone know how to get the audio preview volume to match the system audio settings? | 04:07 |
| escott | Rehan, I added an extra ; after the do, remove it | 04:08 |
| Rehan | escott: here's what I have: http://pastebin.com/RP33DzGj | 04:08 |
| HighFiveGhost | escott: I get the error window pop-up while the zune is plugged in when I open up virtualbox saying "failed to access USB subsystem". What I put in the pastebin was the details. | 04:08 |
| Rehan | escott: thanks let me try. really appreciate the help. | 04:08 |
| leftist | hkmix i would ask in #audio | 04:08 |
| ActionParsnip | HighFiveGhost: did you use the closed source virtualbox? | 04:08 |
| KXTwo | now I have to use at to send myself email lol | 04:09 |
| ohsix | leftist: "system monitor" ? | 04:09 |
| escott | HighFiveGhost, sounds like Virtualbox is having trouble with the Zune. Is the window from the Virtualbox gui? | 04:09 |
| knut_ | hello i got a toshiba nb505, im having a hard time with wireless connection, not sure how to make it work, any help please | 04:09 |
| Rehan | escott: ok this is what i have now: http://pastebin.com/nJDyQtMT and the error I get is: cp: cannot create regular file `echo $Black | sed -e /s/Black/Silver/': No such file or directory | 04:09 |
| knut_ | the wireless indicator its all red | 04:09 |
| leftist | that is what i thought it was ohsix but it isnt defaulting to the graphical display | 04:09 |
| trism | Rehan: might be easier to just do: rename 's/Black/Silver' *.png; | 04:09 |
| hkmix | leftist: It's more a of a system issue though; also, have you tried "gnome-system-monitor"? | 04:09 |
| HighFiveGhost | escott: Yes. But this is a different model of the zune that I've used before(that one worked fine) | 04:10 |
| knut_ | the fn + f8 doesn't seem to work either | 04:10 |
| piero | Can I change a .deb package version? (I compiled two different kernel with make-kpkg without appending something to the version and now I need to install both packages in the same system). | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | knut_: run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line to find guides. You can see if its already working with: sudo iwlist scan | head -n 25 if you see wireless SSIDs then its working | 04:10 |
| leftist | hkmix let me check for it | 04:10 |
| ohsix | leftist: it only has a graphical display, but right after you add it it only shows one, right click on it to add more | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | knut_: run: rfkill list to see if its blocked in any way | 04:10 |
| HighFiveGhost | escott: And this virtualbox is PUEL | 04:10 |
| ohsix | leftist: it's a distinct color from the background if your bar isn't black | 04:10 |

| knut_ | ok ill try it | 04:10 |
| Rehan | trism: thank you, i tried that and got "Substitution replacement not terminated at (eval1) line 1." | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | HighFiveGhost: did you use the closed source virtualbox? | 04:10 |
| KXTwo | crap man is not working on the system so i cant reat the man for at | 04:11 |
| leftist | ohsix let me look i really need it cause the apt-get puts the sys to 100% and i need a notification :) | 04:11 |
| HighFiveGhost | ActionParsnip: I don't think so | 04:11 |
| trism | Rehan: sorry forgot a / at the end: rename 's/Black/Silver/' *.png; | 04:11 |
| hkmix | knoppies: Looks like gnome-do with Docky theme. | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | HighFiveGhost: you need closed source version for usb accessing | 04:11 |
| ohsix | leftist: i use it all the time too :] | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | knoppies: looks like gnome3 | 04:11 |
| knoppies | KXTwo, can you not SSH into a server that does have man working? | 04:12 |
| Rehan | trism: can i just enter it in a terminal in the same directory as the images? | 04:12 |
| knoppies | ActionParsnip, so is that default in gnome3? | 04:12 |
| escott | KXTwo, take some time to learn sed regular expressions, it will be well worth your time | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip | knoppies: that is what gnome3 looks like, yes | 04:12 |
| escott | Sorry Rehan | 04:12 |
| HighFiveGhost | ActionParsnip: I've used USB on this virtualbox before... It worked fine | 04:12 |
| KXTwo | escott, sed? | 04:12 |
| knoppies | hkmix, I meant the transparent thing that drops down with all the launchers on it. Thanks. ActionParsnip states its part of gnome3. | 04:12 |
| trism | Rehan: yes | 04:12 |
| leftist | it is called gnome-system-monitor? | 04:12 |
| Aginor | omega_123: ppa, that should hopefully give you updates in the future without a need to recompile them yourself | 04:12 |
| knut_ | ActionParsnip, it doesn't show anything related to my wireless, the iwlist scan command, show me something about the lo and eth0 | 04:12 |
| escott | KXTwo, meant for Rehan about sed | 04:12 |
| Rehan | escott: no need to apologize at all...very humbled by all the help i have received in here. completely new to this stuff. | 04:12 |
| leftist | ff | 04:12 |
| hkmix | knoppies: Yeah, haha, realized that after. | 04:12 |
| escott | Rehan, yes you can run it in that folder | 04:13 |
| knoppies | hkmix, thanks again. | 04:13 |
| hkmix | leftist: Yeah | 04:13 |
| leftist | my d key is dying | 04:13 |

| leftist | keyboard? | 04:13 |
| KXTwo | I know :) | 04:13 |
| knut_ | ActionParsnip, the rfkill list command did not output anything | 04:13 |
| Rehan | trism: that worked. so awesome! in windows would have had to download some 3rd party app i bet | 04:13 |
| escott | Rehan, the regex stuff will keep you from getting confused by our accidentally missing a / or adding one in the wrong place | 04:13 |
| hkmix | leftist: You'd have to install GOK | 04:13 |

| codex84 | is there a ftp server | 04:15 |
| codex84 | on ubuntu? | 04:15 |
| escott | aaron_wayne, natty on #ubuntu+1, but I've had no real issues | 04:15 |
| ohsix | hkmix: ubuntu comes with onboard too | 04:15 |
| Aginor | aaron_wayne: I have heard that natty's unity is a complete rewrite, so it should be diffrerent | 04:15 |
| ohsix | and it's good | 04:15 |
| Aginor | codex84: several, but usually not installed by default. Do you really need to have an ftp server instead of using scp? | 04:15 |
| aaron_wayne | hkmix, yeah, i know, just wanted to start using more, i think once i get familiar with it will like it, pretty fast to navigate around | 04:15 |
| hkmix | ohsix: Probably, I have the Accessibility off all the time =X | 04:15 |
| hkmix | aaron_wayne: It should be stable, in any case | 04:15 |
| codex84 | scp? | 04:16 |

| escott | alabd, ls -R . | grep *.php | wc | 04:17 |
| hkmix | leftist: =) | 04:17 |
| edickerson | any suggestion on what to do? | 04:17 |
| Aginor | codex84: no, I mean scp, winscp is a windows graphical scp interface that can be used to copy files to and from a server running ssh | 04:17 |
| ohsix | edickerson: it should show that, does it not get past that? | 04:17 |
| leftist | hkmix i fixed my d key :D | 04:18 |
| edickerson | Ohsix, it doesnt want to get past that | 04:19 |
| codex84 | ooo | 04:19 |
| ohsix | edickerson: want is a human thing; it probably can't find your usb drive after it boots off of it | 04:19 |
| alabd | Aginor: escott thanks | 04:20 |
| omega_123 | when is next ubuntu releasing | 04:20 |
| ohsix | edickerson: theres no timeout messages or any other messages after a minute or two? | 04:20 |
| aaron_wayne | what is mutter? | 04:20 |
| hkmix | omega_123: In 3 days | 04:21 |
| edickerson | Ohsixm, no the _ just keeps blinking over and over | 04:21 |
| ohsix | aaron_wayne: a window manager toolkit | 04:21 |
| escott | aaron_wayne, window manager controls the windows allows you to drag and resize me | 04:21 |
| aaron_wayne | so i cant run compiz with this? | 04:21 |
| escott | aaron_wayne, what kind of hardware do you have | 04:21 |
| KXTwo | ok another linux command thats helpfiles are written in greek lol | 04:22 |
| ohsix | aaron_wayne: it's basically clutter with a bunch of nice things that make it a window manager, and clutter is great | 04:22 |
| edickerson | When I press esc for boot options it says scandisk micro cruzer so its reading the USB drive | 04:22 |
| ohsix | aaron_wayne: it's one or the other, compiz and mutter are both window managers | 04:22 |
| aaron_wayne | escott, i got the hardware to run compiz, just installed unity though and that popped up, i guess the default with unity | 04:22 |

| groundup | edickerson: you pressed esc. did you get to the screen to select what drive to boot from? | 04:23 |
| edickerson | yes groundup. | 04:23 |
| alabd | escott: your command shows > 3 14 353 | 04:23 |

| ActionParsnip | edickerson: what video chip are you using? | 04:23 |
| alabd | which one is true | 04:24 |
| escott | alabd, mine says there are 3 lines (files), with 14 words (spaces in filenames?) and 353 characters | 04:25 |
| alabd | escott: ls -R <folder> | grep *.php | wc | 04:26 |
| alabd | shows 0 files | 04:26 |
| alabd | why ? | 04:26 |
| hkmix | alabd: ls -lR | grep .*.php | wc -l | 04:27 |
| hkmix | alabd: The number of lines returned by that command = the number of files | 04:27 |
| ohsix | find -type f -iname '*.php' | wc -l | 04:27 |
| ohsix | hkmix: you need to quote * too, or the shell will expand it | 04:28 |
| hkmix | ohsix: That's why the . is in front of the * =P | 04:28 |
| ohsix | that might just reduce the odds of it matching, but they can still match something | 04:28 |
| michel | on parle Français ici? | 04:29 |
| hkmix | ohsix: The command ls -lR | grep .*.php | wc -l works fine here | 04:29 |

| escott | alabd, sorry follow hkmix he knows his shell better | 04:29 |
| ohsix | hkmix: it's not that it works; it will sometimes match a file that the shell sees, you need to quote it to be sure it will never be expanded by the shell | 04:30 |
| kriscolt | i would like to install xfce, or lxde from the command line. Does anyone know which packages i need? | 04:30 |
| aaron_wayne | does anyone know how to change the key shortcuts for unity | 04:30 |
| hkmix | ohsix: The .*.php prevents it | 04:30 |
| ohsix | hkmix: if there was a file that matched the pattern that'd turn into "grep file" | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | kriscolt: sudo apt-get install lxde | 04:30 |
| kriscolt | that's it? | 04:30 |
| alabd | hkmix: your command shows > 3 14 353 and find <folder>-iname "*.php" | wc -l shows > 192 | 04:30 |
| ActionParsnip | kriscolt: absolutely | 04:31 |
| ohsix | hkmix: only if there isn't a file named .<anything>.php in the current directory, try it | 04:31 |
| hkmix | ohsix: I guess =S, but they're rarely used | 04:31 |
| ohsix | hkmix: easy test, touch .test.php ; echo .*.php | 04:31 |
| hkmix | alabd: try "ls -lR | grep "*.php" | wc -l | 04:31 |
| ohsix | hkmix: it's the one time it matches that it gets you | 04:31 |
| ohsix | hkmix: it's usually by the time someone is comfortable enough with it :D so it's dangerous | 04:32 |
| ActionParsnip | kriscolt: if you installed a minimal ubuntu it will install all the other stuff you need to run lxde, there is lubuntu-desktop which is a metapackage and will give a decent set of lightweight apps for low end PCs or those who want a desktop OS with minimal impact on the hardware | 04:32 |
| hkmix | ohsix: It still works fine for me =P | 04:32 |
| hkmix | ohsix: Made a file like that, the count increased by 1 | 04:32 |
| alabd | hkmix: ls -lR | grep .*.php | wc | 04:32 |
| alabd | 209 1581 12709 | 04:32 |
| alabd | php files 209 ? | 04:32 |
| ohsix | hkmix: if it matches something it's only grepping for the filename it matched, not a wildcard | 04:33 |
| escott | alabd, yes 209 wc is (lines, words, characters) | 04:33 |
| hkmix | alabd: Should be; try "ls -lR | grep "*.php" | wc -l" in case | 04:33 |
| jpastore | can I get a little help flgrx? I get: http://paste.org/pastebin/view/32228 | 04:33 |
| escott | alabd, when you pipe "|" ls you get one line per filename | 04:33 |
| alabd | hkmix: no "" make it worse | 04:33 |
| hkmix | ohsix: But I'm getting the wildcard results still | 04:33 |
| ohsix | find /dir -type f -iname' *.php' | 04:33 |
| hkmix | alabd: Then it should just be 209 | 04:33 |

| jpastore | escott, I used the livecd iso and a windows app to write the iso to a thumb drive and create a persistent file system. uname -a yields: Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:32:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 04:51 |

| escott | jpastore, but you are booting off the thumb drive yes? and then trying to install to a partition on the hard drive? | 04:53 |
| CalicoJack | Dr_Willis so there isn't any " $> fix --it" command i can use? | 04:54 |

| escott | jpastore, so what is causing the fglrx update, you are trying to update in place the install media onto itself? | 04:56 |
| jpastore | escott, I'm just using synaptic. | 04:56 |
| escott | jpastore, i would try to isolate the update. try and just update the fglrx | 04:58 |
| Uhriventis | Xangua, he can't do anything from terminal and must download the latest? See I'm a suse/slackware user I have never had this problem so I'm learning too | 04:58 |
| jpastore | escott, when I try to update or install any package from apt-get or synaptic it complains about all 3 packages failing. is there a way to undo this or restore that vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic file? | 04:59 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: you will need to reinstall the driver so it gets made for the kernel, if the kernel headers aren't installed you will have issues. I suggest you use the official kernels as we cannot support uniofficial kernels here | 04:59 |
| lucasfl | Hi. Does anyone know if Emerald works on Ubuntu 11.04? | 04:59 |

| rww | lucasfl: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks! | 05:00 |
| escott | jpastore, maybe try apt-get install fglrx first | 05:01 |

| b14ck85 | thanks <mickster04> , how do you know all this ? | 05:35 |
| mickster04 | Laurencesm: oh well it should auto connect to the lan...but how do you connect to the internet, you should know how you pay for it, and whome etc? you had it working in windows? what did you have to do there? | 05:35 |
| mcurran | if you download the latest linux kernel, and there are two patches from the full source, do you need to install both, or just the latest? | 05:35 |
| mickster04 | blu: well i have been using ubuntu a couple of years so you pick up these things | 05:35 |

| clint_ | any1 know how 2 make firefox use transmission bit torrent program | 05:36 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: old or invalid tutorial. Any other ideas for using fuppes and installing it? | 05:36 |
| Guest49423 | the error says: no permission to read/wrtie on /dev/raw1394 | 05:36 |
| mickster04 | clint_: what does it use atm? | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | clint_: tell it to open .torrent files with transmission | 05:36 |
| clint_ | no it only shows miro tv | 05:36 |
| mickster04 | casey__: have you tried it. sure it's hardy but it may still work | 05:36 |
| clint_ | I never had this be4 with older versions | 05:37 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: have you tried it? | 05:37 |
| === clayguc is now known as ClayG | ||
| Laurencesm | on windows, i double click on 'miniport wan (pppoe)', then i enter login and passwd. on ubuntu, i think it connected to lan(i saw message in the top right corner), but what next? | 05:37 |
| casey__ | mickster04: yeah I did. I got an error right at the get go. Looks like the file isn't supported any longer for what the tutorial says. | 05:37 |
| clint_ | kinda makes me mad to be honest | 05:37 |
| b14ck85 | its a very nice thing to speak to your level minded people in a room , I hope irc never dies | 05:37 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: Yes I did. It failed. | 05:37 |
| ClayG | I lost my wireless icon on the right hand lower corner, i have tried adding the indicator to the panel and it still wont show, is there any fix/work around for this? I'm using 10.01 | 05:38 |
| clint_ | it won't even let me pick transmission (does not even appear as a choice) | 05:38 |

| mcurran | transmission? why not use deluge | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: 12th March 2011 | 05:38 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: Lol thanks again :D! | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: all I am doing is websearching. I hadn't even heard of the app til you mentioned it | 05:38 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: have you researched any at all? | 05:39 |
| mickster04 | mcurran: we are not on this channel for opinions, transmission is the default | 05:39 |
| mickster04 | app* | 05:39 |
| b14ck85 | !suricata | 05:39 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: like seriously, you saw how fast I found the links | 05:39 |
| b14ck85 | no info on suricata ? | 05:40 |
| mickster04 | !info suricate | 05:40 |
| ubottu | Package suricate does not exist in maverick | 05:40 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: Yes I have. But trust me it's not that easy. At least for me. That's why I am asking for help. | 05:40 |
| mickster04 | b14ck85: you have to do info <package name> | 05:40 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: Wouldn't that make sense for people in this chat? | 05:40 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: as long as you tried, just seems weird | 05:40 |
| mickster04 | b14ck85: you have to do !info <package name> | 05:40 |
| b14ck85 | is there any other good ids for ubuntu ? | 05:40 |
| b14ck85 | !info suricata | 05:40 |
| ubottu | suricata (source: suricata): Next Generation Intrusion Detection and Prevention Tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-1 (maverick), package size 299 kB, installed size 860 kB | 05:40 |
| mickster04 | b14ck85: what do you mean ids? | 05:40 |
| eric | uuid? | 05:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm - i click on a torrent file here. it asks to open with transmission <default> here, Not even sure where the system gets those default apps from. MIME types perhaps | 05:41 |
| b14ck85 | yes | 05:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mickster04: sounds like Intrusion detection system | 05:41 |
| ClayG | I lost my wireless icon on the right hand lower corner, i have tried adding the indicator to the panel and it still wont show, is there any fix/work around for this? I'm using 10.01 | 05:41 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: Give it a go. Tell me how easy it is. Are you even looking at these articles? They are irrelevant to what I am asking. How do you install fuppes? Not customizing it. | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | ClayG: you using gnome? or some other desktop? gnome has it at the top right. | 05:41 |
| mickster04 | casey__: sudo apt-get install fuppes | 05:41 |
| mickster04 | !info fuppes | 05:41 |
| ubottu | Package fuppes does not exist in maverick | 05:41 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: I was only asking if people knew already, not so they can go research for me. | 05:41 |
| ClayG | Dr_Willis ahh sorry about that, i am using gnome but i moved mine to bottom lemme change that | 05:41 |
| eric | Dr_Willis: have you tried "Tixati"? Best torrent program, hands down! Deluge and Transmission have nothing on it | 05:41 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: yes, it's simple config file editting, looks fun so I'll add it to the stuff my server does already | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | ClayG: rerun the nm-applet perhaps. or reset the panels. | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | eric: i tend to use qbittorrent | 05:42 |
| b14ck85 | <mickster04> fuppes is an ids ? | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | or was it qtbittorrent | 05:42 |
| mickster04 | b14ck85: no? | 05:42 |
| ClayG | nm-applet? | 05:42 |
| b14ck85 | confused | 05:42 |
| mickster04 | b14ck85: here is more than one conversation here... | 05:42 |
| b14ck85 | :/ | 05:42 |
| eric | Dr_Willis: qttorrent. Reminds me of utorrent | 05:43 |
| ActionParsnip | eric: not to me, transdroid doesn't talk to that client | 05:43 |
| mickster04 | there* | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | nm-applet networkmanager-applet | 05:43 |
| ClayG | Dr_Willis I'll give that a shot is there a command line way to access a router called NETGEAR? | 05:43 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: You do realise most of the people in here are newbies looking for help. So what may seem "simple" to you is the reason why people are here asking questions? | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | ClayG: use a text based browser perhaps. :) | 05:43 |
| casey__ | mickster04: thank you for the help. Any idea where to find it or how to use it? | 05:43 |
| ClayG | so i can at least boot into ubuntu and research , makes it easier so i dont have to reboot, try something them come back to xo | 05:43 |
| mickster04 | casey__: sorry what is it again? | 05:43 |
| b14ck85 | <mickster04> fuppes is based on entertainment somit somit | 05:43 |
| ClayG | Dr_Willis I mean what is the command to connect to a wireless named NETGEAR, while in the command line | 05:44 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: well the app has a text file to configure it, the guide looks good to me. Just because it's not configured by some mouse interface doesn't automatically make it hard | 05:44 |
| mickster04 | b14ck85: yeah fine, | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ClayG: theres several wireless config commands commonly used. .i rarely use them | 05:44 |
| b14ck85 | my friend google told me :) | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | iwconfig iwlist ifconfig | 05:44 |
| casey__ | mickster04: its called fuppes. I'm basically looking for a way to stream videos to my xbox 360. I don't care how I do it but it's very difficult. | 05:44 |
| mickster04 | b14ck85: yes, that wasn't aimed at you though, so you may ignore it | 05:44 |
| b14ck85 | ok cool | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ushare - can stream to the PS2 and XBOX also. i recall | 05:44 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: can xbox access windows folder shares? | 05:45 |
| MK`` | After burning a number of CDs, Ubuntu no longer seems to recognize CDs correctly for me. When I enter a blank disk, it says it only has 2 kb free. I have confirmed with another computer that the disk is not defective. What could this be? | 05:45 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: I'm looking for a begginner's article or advice. You either know or you don't. | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | mediatomb can also stream to xbox. and xbox Can access windows shares i belive | 05:45 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: I don't know. That is why I am asking. | 05:45 |
| mickster04 | casey__: http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/documentation/installation/linux/ are pretty easy instructions. its in terminal yes, but you just copy/paste | 05:45 |
| maineac | Laurence, did you get online? | 05:46 |
| b14ck85 | why is google more advance then other search engines ? why does eveyone use google ? because of its bots ? | 05:46 |
| b14ck85 | faster ? | 05:46 |
| b14ck85 | better results ? | 05:46 |
| casey__ | mickster04: I don't understand the page you sent me to. Yes configure this configure that but how does that help me with the xbox 360. | 05:46 |

| rww | abiss27: ask in #freenode for a cloak | 05:46 |
| b14ck85 | whoops .. | 05:46 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: no but the guide is decent. If it can then you can share a folder via samba and access it that way. It seems it can but I don't own an xbox but setting up samba shares is simple (you can use nautilus so isn't editting text files which is 'hard'), if it works then you are good to go | 05:47 |

| b14ck85 | later all | 05:47 |
| mickster04 | casey__: sorry. ignore the xbox 360. you are setting up this program. you need to follow the relatively clear instructions on that page i linked you, and the program will be up and running | 05:48 |
| mickster04 | casey__: then you can work out how to use it to stream to your x-box? | 05:49 |
| ActionParsnip | mickster04: that's 'hard' as its editing text files ;) (apparently) | 05:49 |
| casey__ | ActionParsnip: Can you explain that again for me? | 05:49 |
| casey__ | mickster04: I don't think I can figure it out more than I have already tried. | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: which part? | 05:50 |
| mickster04 | ActionParsnip: well the installation is pretty clear? one step at a time | 05:50 |
| casey__ | mickster04: He's being a sarcastic Jackass. | 05:50 |
| mickster04 | casey__: have you installed fuppes? | 05:50 |
| casey__ | mickster04: yes I have. | 05:50 |
| dominater | what program would you recommend to use my tv tunner? | 05:50 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: which part do you want me to explain? | 05:50 |
| mickster04 | casey__: ok so when ActionParsnip linked you a site that helped you configure it, why was that not suitable? | 05:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dominater: tvtime is decent | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | dominater: depends on what you want to do.. mythtv - is a 'all in one' tv tuner/player/recorder/stream/everthing system | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | at the other end.. theres simple tuner apps like tvtime :) | 05:51 |
| casey__ | mickster04: because it has nothing to do with configuring to an xbox 360. | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | or even most media players can handle tv tuners in ubuntu. | 05:51 |
| casey__ | mickster04: I don't care about any other part or even the program itself. I just want a way to stream videos to my xbox 360. | 05:51 |
| mickster04 | casey__: so what have you googled so far? | 05:52 |
| dominater | Dr_Willis : thanks but i need a just the software | 05:52 |
| BentFranklin | I have a box running 10.4.2 LTS. I install all recommended and security updates. Now, accessing updates via KDE System Settings -> Software Updates it says I have none. But when I log in via ssh it says I have 36 updates and 24 are security. This number seems to have kept growing over the last two weeks. What program is telling me about the updates when I log in in text mode and how can I tell which is correct? | 05:52 |
| mickster04 | casey__: have you restarted both the server and the xbox recently too? | 05:52 |
| casey__ | mickster04: Basically I am stuck between ushare and fuppes. That's all that seems to be said. There is very little infomation regarding this. | 05:53 |
| ActionParsnip | casey__: share the folder containing the media using samba and try to access it from the xbox | 05:53 |
| casey__ | mickster04: Not sure how to restart the server. I haven't been able to access fuppes after installing it. | 05:53 |
| mickster04 | casey__: how are you connected tothe server? are you sshing or have you got a keyboard/mouse on it? | 05:54 |
| mickster04 | casey__: and define "access fuppes" | 05:54 |
| mickster04 | casey__: it is a program, it doesn't require 'access' like that? | 05:55 |

| xbx | is there a kernel image for dell e6420? | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | fuppes is being annoying. :) having to track down all these dev packages. | 06:04 |
| ActionParsnip | xbx: what cpu does it use? | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | mjn: try them all out. use what you like | 06:05 |
| optimusP | Is ther any way to compress jpg image files and .mp3 files? | 06:05 |
| xbx | not sure yet, i haven't got the laptop with me. waiting for the order to come in, but i think it on of this proc: http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=555&l=en&oc=MLB112&s=biz | 06:05 |
| xbx | i guess i need to rebuild the kernel spec for the proc | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | optimusP: any more copmression will degrade quality most likely | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | optimusP: and normal ziping and so on - wont help :) | 06:07 |
| optimusP | yeah | 06:07 |
| optimusP | i was thinking if ther any lossless compression for jpeg | 06:07 |
| ActionParsnip | xbx: which cpu did you choose? | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | lossless would make a bigger image.. but since its allreayd a jpeg. theres allready some loss.. | 06:08 |
| xbx | are there any docs on how/what to kernel options are need for dell e6420? | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | xbx: check the forums perhaps.. whats so special about that machine>? | 06:09 |
| econnell | i just made this post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1737870 | 06:09 |
| ActionParsnip | xbx: looks like a generic lappy, you may need options for the sound but as long as its not one of those stupid dual gpu things you'll be fine | 06:09 |
| xbx | i didn't pick the process myself. i hope someone picked the best cpu for me | 06:09 |
| econnell | ubuntu is frustrating me..... | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | econnell: summarize the problem. dont expect everyone to go to a forum post to read the actual problem. | 06:09 |
| xbx | i hope the IT guy get me the best one | 06:09 |
| econnell | Dr_Willis: i'm a developer... i've had a package in revu for almost 2 years now | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | xbx: why do you even think you need to rebuild the kernel? | 06:10 |
| ActionParsnip | xbx: the highest cpu adds a lot of extra cost | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | econnell: make a ppa of it perhaps. I dont do any dev work. | 06:10 |
| xbx | i think it comes with xp and want to put ubuntu on on it and i don't the default kernel is optimized for this laptop | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Isent there a #ubuntu-developers or #ubuntu-SOMTHIGN channel for that also? | 06:11 |
| ActionParsnip | xbx: it'll come with win7 as that's all dell sell | 06:11 |
| optimusP | Dr_Willis, The problem is that i have lots of digi pics, which i want to backup, i mean the size is growing like hell | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | xbx: comes with XP? in this day and age? | 06:11 |

| xbx | the laptap i am getting | 06:11 |
| MK`` | optimusP: image, audio, and video files can't really be compressed well without losing quality | 06:11 |
| econnell | i think there's an unofficial PPA already... that's not the point. this package is used by thousands of people and the ubuntu team seems to refuse to include it as part of the distro. In turn, this causes people to come to me asking why it's not a part of the distro | 06:12 |
| MK`` | for audio, you can use FLAC, and etc. options but they're still significantly larger than if they are compressed with loss | 06:12 |
| xbx | 32bit | 06:12 |
| optimusP | So solution is arrange more space ;) :p | 06:13 |
| econnell | i think i've had two Ubuntu devs come to me to say they're going to work on it, and I never hear from them again | 06:13 |

| ActionParsnip | econnell: I'm not sure how this sort of things work, but it may help | 06:19 |
| maineac | Back on Gnome Menu management. How can I set the same menu for each user on a machine? | 06:20 |
| econnell | ActionParsnip: well i've stopped creating binaries and from now on, ubuntu users are on their own... that sucks for them but i can't find any other way to get Ubuntu to include the package other than users filing complaints... which is just a retarded backwards way to do it | 06:20 |
| destinydriven | can someone tell me whats wrong with this script: perl -i -pe's/\r$//;' cakeshell | 06:20 |
| destinydriven | I'm trying to convert a windows file to linux so my crontab will run without issues | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | econnell: making a ppa for the software is too hard? | 06:20 |
| econnell | destinydriven: use dos2unix\ | 06:21 |
| destinydriven | econnell: k | 06:21 |
| econnell | Dr_Willis: no... it's not hard... but that's not the point | 06:21 |
| destinydriven | econnell: lets say my file is cakeshell | 06:22 |
| econnell | destinydriven: sudo apt-get install dos2unix | 06:22 |
| destinydriven | k | 06:22 |
| econnell | then: dos2unix cakeshell | 06:23 |
| destinydriven | econnell: cool, thank you | 06:23 |
| econnell | np | 06:23 |
| MK`` | econnell I wish you good luck getting this resolved, don't give up on Ubuntu if they express regret :D | 06:24 |
| econnell | MK``: the bureaucracy is frustrating... i can't believe that i have software that's in use by many thousands of people that ubuntu simply ignores | 06:25 |
| mrroth_ | anyidea why my hp compaq 6535b laptop running ubuntu 10.10 | 06:25 |
| econnell | meanwhile, there's shit packages that barely work sitting in the repos | 06:25 |
| mrroth_ | anyidea why my hp compaq 6535b laptop running ubuntu 10.10 , after it goes to sleep w on't wake up screen | 06:25 |
| mrroth_ | and I have to hard reboot or hard shutdown | 06:25 |
| zeroedout | mrroth_ disbale kms | 06:25 |
| MK`` | mrroth: Ubuntu tends to not play well with hibernation on laptops heh | 06:25 |
| zeroedout | it plays fine but not on some card | 06:26 |
| zeroedout | $10 says you have a radeon 9x00 | 06:26 |
| mrroth_ | zeroedout, so I google disable kms | 06:26 |
| mrroth_ | mk oh | 06:26 |
| mrroth_ | so how do I disable kms | 06:26 |
| codex84 | trying to configure a ftp server but gpedit says | 06:26 |
| codex84 | is read only | 06:26 |
| mknarr | did u open the file as root | 06:27 |
| zeroedout | to disable kms you need to add an option to /etc/default/grub the default linux options | 06:27 |
| mknarr | if that dosnt work change the file premissions to r + W | 06:27 |
| codex84 | how u open as | 06:27 |
| codex84 | root? | 06:27 |
| mknarr | ie | 06:27 |
| mknarr | sudo gedit "filename" | 06:27 |
| mknarr | but be carefull with using sudo if u edit the wrong thing you can mess up your pc | 06:28 |
| mknarr | i mean OS | 06:28 |
| MK`` | don't use sudo with gedit | 06:28 |
| Nikkk | Hello There ! | 06:28 |
| MK`` | use gksudo | 06:28 |
| mknarr | ya use that srry | 06:28 |
| Nikkk | I'm Vimal Sista | 06:28 |
| Nikkk | I'd like to know how to run DataStage jobs in Linux | 06:29 |
| mrroth_ | use vi or vim or emacs | 06:29 |
| darksifer | hi everyone. is it possible to know the number of active session on a website. let's say www.ubuntu.com??? | 06:29 |
| Nikkk | Can anyone help me get this ? | 06:29 |
| zeroedout | mrroth_: depends on the card, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting | 06:29 |
| mknarr | what about nano ? | 06:29 |
| mknarr | or no ? | 06:29 |
| zeroedout | darksifer, not unless you have acess to server logs | 06:29 |
| mrroth_ | were in /etc/default/grub do I edit this | 06:30 |
| zeroedout | mknarr use whatever file editor you like, nano rocks c0ck! | 06:30 |
| red2kic | mknarr: He mean -- Don't use 'sudo' to run !GUI apps (like gedit, geany, etc). Use "gksudo gedit" instead. | 06:30 |
| BentFranklin | Setting up postfix. All our email comes to and from our ISP via POP and SMTP. Do I choose "satellite system" for mail server configuration? | 06:30 |
| darksifer | zeroedout: thanks | 06:31 |
| helloEARTH | wats the diff between gksudo and sudo? | 06:31 |
| mrroth_ | Chipset | 06:31 |
| mrroth_ | AMD M780G | 06:31 |
| mrroth_ | and Graphics | 06:31 |
| mrroth_ | ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics | 06:31 |
| red2kic | helloEARTH: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo | 06:31 |
| ketterer | hey | 06:32 |
| zeroedout | gksudo pops up a gui to enter a password sudo does it only on the command line. so if you use alt+f2 to launch a sudo commands you need to use gksudo cause sudo won't do jack | 06:32 |
| MK`` | helloEARTH: gksudo should be used for graphical applications, since graphical ones tend to edit their settings files when you use them, and using sudo with them would alter those files and potentially break your normal permissions | 06:32 |
| ketterer | ya iv had sudo MESS stuff up | 06:33 |
| mrroth_ | zeroedout, anything I need to do for ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics | 06:33 |
| ketterer | hey i was wondering where we could put in feature requests for ubuntu | 06:33 |
| ketterer | i would really like to see a default install of ubuntu that uses entire disc to make a seperate home partition | 06:34 |
| bazhang | !brainstorm > ketterer | 06:34 |
| MK`` | After burning a number of CDs, Ubuntu no longer seems to recognize CDs correctly for me. When I enter a blank disk, it says it only has 2 kb free. I have confirmed with another computer that the disk is not defective. What could this be? | 06:34 |
| ubottu | ketterer, please see my private message | 06:34 |
| ohsix | ketterer: you can do that with partman | 06:34 |
| pksadiq | ketterer: I think ubuntu brain storm is a nice place | 06:35 |
| user | #ubuntu | 06:35 |
| zeroedout | mrroth_: most likely radeon.modeset=0 to the end of the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=. | 06:35 |
| Eiriksvin | How is it possible that my Netgear Rangemax USB Wifi Adapter WPN111 is seen by the driver but cant do anything? | 06:35 |
| zeroedout | then make sure to do sudo update-grub | 06:35 |
| MK`` | !brainstorm | MK`` | 06:35 |
| ubottu | MK``, please see my private message | 06:35 |
| ohsix | Eiriksvin: what driver does it use? | 06:35 |
| zeroedout | ericksvin, it may be a chipset that isn't supported | 06:35 |
| ohsix | Eiriksvin: you might need to get proprietary firmware in order for the device to work | 06:35 |
| === mizerydearia is now known as necrodearia | ||
| zeroedout | do an lspci (with sudo) and look for more detailed info on the card, specifically revions or other info that doens't pop up on the interwebs | 06:36 |
| Eiriksvin | i have tried to use netgears special program but it dont start up | 06:37 |
| KM0201 | zeroedout, lspci doesn't require sudo Eiriksvin what chipset is on the device? | 06:37 |
| ohsix | zeroedout: afaik those are all usb devices | 06:37 |
| Eiriksvin | i installed it using wine, but it dont run | 06:37 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, wine doesn't run hardware, so that effort is fruitless | 06:37 |
| zeroedout | km0201: sure it doesn't *require* it but sometimes it doesn't give useful info without it | 06:38 |
| mrroth_ | like this is the syntax " GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"radeon.modeset=0 " | 06:38 |
| zeroedout | ohsix: right, it would be lsusb then | 06:38 |
| KM0201 | zeroedout, you get the same info w/ sudo lspci, as you do w/ lspci... try it yourself. | 06:38 |
| ohsix | zeroedout: he mentioned the driver like he knew what it was already | 06:38 |
| zeroedout | mrroth: no quote after splash | 06:38 |
| ohsix | KM0201: you need root to get some of the -vvv information; as it reads the BAR, but that isn't needed to just identify it | 06:38 |
| zeroedout | so GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.modeset=0 " | 06:38 |
| Eiriksvin | no but wine runs windows programs, and its the one thats supossed to be good for it | 06:39 |
| mrroth_ | ahh k GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.modeset=0 " | 06:39 |
| zeroedout | KM0201: maybe, on older versions it didn't so i dunno maybe they fixed, but doesn't hurt to run as sudo | 06:39 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, and what does the windows program you tried to load do?.. it uses software(drivers, etc..) to runt he wireless device.. again, wine doesn't run hardware. | 06:39 |
| zaksoldier | hi every one | 06:39 |
| Eiriksvin | oh, ok sorry i didnt know what u meant | 06:40 |
| mrroth_ | thanks | 06:40 |
| mrroth_ | thanks zeroedout | 06:40 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, have you figured out the chipset that is on the device yet? | 06:40 |
| Eiriksvin | no idk how to | 06:41 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, plug it in... lsusb | 06:41 |
| Eiriksvin | i cant right now im on windows | 06:41 |
| ohsix | they're ralink devices iirc | 06:41 |
| ohsix | and they're awful | 06:41 |
| KM0201 | ohsix, it depends on the ralink... i have one that works as soon as i plug it in.. no configuring, etc.. plug it in, connect to any network. | 06:42 |
| Eiriksvin | and i only have wifi | 06:42 |
| ohsix | KM0201: i mean this adapter in particular | 06:42 |
| KM0201 | i see | 06:42 |
| ohsix | KM0201: they can be had for 5$ and they're not worth that | 06:42 |
| Eiriksvin | it does say that theres no firmware | 06:42 |
| Eiriksvin | on the usb device | 06:43 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, what model card is it again?.. wnp111? | 06:43 |
| KM0201 | and its a netgear, right? | 06:43 |
| Eiriksvin | wpn111 yep | 06:43 |
| Eiriksvin | yep | 06:43 |
| Eiriksvin | i have tried alot of guides and stuff, nothings working | 06:43 |
| casey_ | Any reason why I don't have a fuppes.cfg file in .fuppes for the Fuppes program? | 06:44 |
| ohsix | Eiriksvin: well right now nobody can really tell what you mean by don't work | 06:44 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 06:44 |
| Eiriksvin | i just updated to 10.4 | 06:45 |
| DETERMINOLOGY | 11.04 drops in a few days..beast :) | 06:45 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, ok, it looks like thats probably an Atheros device (assuming there's not multiple WPN111's.. which is possible) | 06:45 |
| Eiriksvin | oh, and even that messed up my boot screen, says i gotta load a kernel first | 06:45 |
| zaksoldier | when it wil come | 06:46 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, have you considered just doing a clean install fo 10.10, and seeing if it recognizes your wireless device? | 06:46 |
| ohsix | KM0201: i think theres a wn111 and a wpn111 | 06:46 |
| ohsix | or something like that | 06:46 |
| KM0201 | yeah.. | 06:46 |
| zaksoldier | when the 11.4 will come | 06:46 |
| ActionParsnip | zaksoldier: 28th | 06:47 |
| KM0201 | !isitoutyet | 06:47 |
| ubottu | It's way too early for it to be out; check back on the 28th. | 06:47 |
| KM0201 | :) | 06:47 |
| KM0201 | and its.. 11.04 i'm not aware of any year w/ a 40th month.. :) | 06:47 |
| KM0201 | maybe the chineese calendar | 06:47 |
| Eiriksvin | idk how to install linux Im a complete noob, i got this computer from a friend who had ubuntu on it, and i have always wanted to learn linux, but i keep getting dragged back into windows cus my ubuntu only works online with a wired connection... so i have to keep trecking it over to my neighbors to do stuff with it | 06:48 |
| kshawkeye | Could anyone tell me what a % means? (such as 'kill %1') | 06:48 |
| html_inprogress | Eiriksvin, do you need help? | 06:49 |
| html_inprogress | Eiriksvin, you want to just install linux? is that it? | 06:50 |
| Eiriksvin | well im just looking to fix 2 things, my boot screen and get my netgear usb wifi adapter going... then its so long windows | 06:50 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, here's what i would do.. I would download a 10.10 ISO under WIndows... burn it to CD, boot the CD, and see if your wireless device works... if it does, just overwrite your 10.04 install, w/ 10.10 | 06:50 |
| html_inprogress | if so i can help you either way | 06:50 |
| KM0201 | html_inprogress, his issues are many, this won't be a fast process | 06:51 |
| Eiriksvin | i have ubuntu, but i have to use an old kernel because when i updated with the newer one it messed up my boot | 06:51 |
| user__ | +i | 06:51 |
| zaksoldier | means it wil come in 4 days | 06:51 |
| MethedMan | anyone know how to copy recursively to put all files in one directory only | 06:52 |
| html_inprogress | not so fast with windows, and dont get rid of it either | 06:52 |
| user__ | #ubuntu | 06:52 |
| zaksoldier | 28/4/2011 | 06:52 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, it doesn't matter... you can't realy do anything w/ 10.04 right now anyway... if 10.10 works out of the box w/ your wireless device.. wo0uldn't it make more sense to just clean install 10.10? (and listen to html_inprogress don't nuke windows right off the bat) | 06:52 |
| html_inprogress | KM0201, thank you very much, you SAVE ME LIKE 20 mins of chat :) high 5 | 06:53 |
| KM0201 | lol | 06:54 |
| Eiriksvin | yeah, i wont get rid of it... but its got this stupid virus that always pups up and stops me from seeing websites and some programs, norton 360 cant even see it | 06:54 |
| user__ | hello My local network suddenly very slow. why? | 06:54 |
| * zaksoldier is wondering if 11.04 have bugfix and new things | 06:54 | |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, i feel like i'm repeating myself, or you're just not listening... 1. download ubuntu 10.10 2. burn ubuntu 10.10... 3. if everything works, come here for instructions on how to install over 10.04 | 06:55 |
| Eiriksvin | well ill have to learn how to install it then | 06:55 |
| html_inprogress | agreed , i dont know what your wanting to do with you laptop.. but it you are a just hatch fish from mother linux your going to have many thing different | 06:55 |
| html_inprogress | go to windows | 06:55 |
| casey_ | Any reason why I don't have a fuppes.cfg file in .fuppes for the Fuppes program? | 06:55 |
| KM0201 | Eiriksvin, if you wait till monday, i'll help you instlal (almost 2am here, and i gotta be up at 5.. and i'm gone all day tomorrow) | 06:55 |

| centcom | halifax here | 06:56 |
| gorf_ | bajskorv | 06:56 |
| Eiriksvin | no problem i gotta get cdr anyway | 06:56 |
| kshawkeye | Could anyone tell me what a % means? (such as 'kill %1') | 06:56 |
| html_inprogress | Eiriksvin, easy we are all helps of other neighbor, and at time we take turns, | 06:57 |
| casey_ | Anyone have any tips when using Fuppes? | 06:57 |
| echolin | i want to know ,if any soft can clear the system? | 06:57 |
| zaksoldier | can i make/convert inf file driver to another file for linux | 06:57 |
| KM0201 | html_inprogress, last night, i used team viewer to partition a guys hard drive cuz he kept screwing it up ...lol. | 06:57 |
| ActionParsnip | zaksoldier: for what device? | 06:57 |
| zaksoldier | tp link WN620G | 06:58 |
| ActionParsnip | zaksoldier: use ndisgtk | 06:58 |
| MethedMan | anyone know how to copy recursively to put all files in one directory only | 06:58 |
| zaksoldier | ok thanks | 06:58 |
| html_inprogress | KM0201, i wish i could do that to the new guy "E" | 06:58 |
| * zaksoldier is downloading this file to try it | 06:59 | |
| html_inprogress | MethedMan, copy and paste? lol | 06:59 |
| KM0201 | html_inprogress, yeah, unfortunately w/o internet access, it makes that impossible.. i bet that device will work out of the box w/ 10.10.. but thats strictly a guess (saw a couple posts that said it would) | 06:59 |
| user__ | my local network, initially quite rapidly. but slowed down since last night. I was dizzy. already in various ways attempted. but have not succeeded. I use a maverick who kept me updated | 06:59 |
| MethedMan | html_inprogress: dealing with about 500 directories each with 5-10 subdirectories. there are jpegs scattered through that i need | 06:59 |
| MethedMan | would like to copy all files into directory and then delete all non-jpegs | 07:00 |
| casey_ | does anyone know how to use fuppes? | 07:01 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: i coulde4nt get it compile.. theres other UPNP servers out there. like Ushare and mediatomb | 07:02 |
| casey_ | dr_willis: any tips on either? Or are you just suggesting what you've heard? | 07:02 |
| html_inprogress | MethedMan, may sudo? ( shrog sholders) | 07:02 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: i just tried to compile fuppes.. it dident compile.. theres other similer programs out there. ive used ushare and meditomb. | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: try them out. | 07:03 |
| casey_ | dr_willis: which do you prefer? | 07:03 |
| eoss | hello, is there a way to display the errors in php without going into php.ini? | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: flip a coin.. Ive used neither one for xbox's (i dont own a xbox) both work the same for pc shareingf | 07:03 |
| Rehan | for a dualboot win7/ubuntu system should the boot sector for windows be in the system reserved 100mb partition or in the actual win7 partition? Thank you. | 07:03 |
| Dr_Willis | medidtomb is more complex web interface. ushare - easier to get going. | 07:04 |
| MethedMan | i need something like the "-nd" option in wget for the cp function. | 07:04 |
| casey_ | dr_willis: I've tried both with no luck. I am looking for someone who has some sort of expertise. | 07:04 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: ushare was rather trivial to get going. but ive not used them for xbox,. Just had to install ushare. edit its config. restart the service. | 07:04 |
| Dr_Willis | I imagine theres other upnp servers out there as well | 07:05 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: Well that's just the thing. Everyone thinks it's "trivial" but these people do not own an xbox. So far I have found 0 answers on how to do this. | 07:05 |
| casey_ | And no there is no other upnp servers out there. | 07:06 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: ushare docs mentioned xboxs speficically. enabling one or 2 settings in the ushare.conf was all iut took i recall. | 07:06 |
| casey_ | If there is, please correct me. I'm dying to know how to do this lol. | 07:06 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: ahve you done it before? | 07:06 |
| casey_ | *have | 07:06 |
| gorf_ | bajskorv | 07:07 |
| * zaksoldier have tried the ndisgtk app and is working perfect | 07:07 | |
| MK`` | After burning a number of CDs, Ubuntu no longer seems to recognize CDs correctly for me. When I enter a blank disk, it says it only has 2 kb free. I have confirmed with another computer that the disk is not defective. What could this be? | 07:07 |
| zaksoldier | thanks man | 07:07 |
| Dr_Willis | http://ushare.geexbox.org/#Usage option --> ushare -x, --xbox Use XboX 360 compliant profile | 07:08 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: thank you for the list of commands. But I am a newbie and I'm not sure what to do with these. | 07:08 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: time to learn some linux/command line basics first I gfuess.. | 07:09 |
| Dr_Willis | command would be 'ushare -x' to start it usiong the xbox settings. | 07:09 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: would you like to help me? | 07:09 |
| casey_ | and so what will that do exactly? | 07:09 |
| MethedMan | html_inprogress: i copied all my files to my apache server and am running a "wget -nd -r -l inf -A jpg localhost" to get the files i need. | 07:09 |
| Rehan | for a dualboot win7/ubuntu system should the boot sector for windows be in the system reserved 100mb partition or in the actual win7 partition? Thank you. | 07:10 |
| gorf_ | sudo bajskorv | 07:10 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: starts ushare with the 'use xbox 360 compliant profile' like the docs said | 07:10 |
| eloystebam | buenas noches | 07:10 |
| Eiriksvin | do i have to do anything to my bios in order to install Ubuntu | 07:10 |
| Eiriksvin | ? | 07:10 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: So that's it? ushare -x and everything is done? | 07:11 |
| MK`` | Rehan: if you're installing windows there's a way to skip that extra partition during installation | 07:11 |
| MK`` | but otherwise, it's in there | 07:11 |
| eloystebam | speak spanish? | 07:11 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: You need to defind what you are shareing either via its web interface,. or editing the /etc/ushare config file. | 07:11 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: Please elaborate. Remember I am newbie. Explain more than just "type this" and excppect me to fill in the rest. | 07:11 |
| MK`` | !es | eloystebam | 07:11 |
| ubottu | eloystebam: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 07:11 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: Ok good. Now please explain, how do I do that? | 07:11 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: you need to think a little bit for yourself.. and check the ushare docs. all i am doing is pasting them here basically | 07:11 |
| Dr_Willis | install ushare.. run it. access its web interface | 07:12 |
| Rehan | MK``: i already have win7 installed. Thank you for helping. So if I have the system partition already, how can I make the boot sector in that partition? After doing a kernel upgrade in 10.10 my Windows boot stuff got messed up | 07:12 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: Well whopdie-doo. Think for myself. I think I got it now. Thanks for the help. Jackass. | 07:12 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: everything ive said is printed righ there on the ussage page.. i am literally cut/pasteing it Here for you to read. | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | so go read it. | 07:13 |
| MK`` | I am not sure, I do not know much about linux boot sectors or grub, but I'm sure someone here can help Rehan | 07:13 |
| MK`` | I thought it was a disk-wide thing, not a partition thing | 07:13 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: i spent 40+ min easrlier trying to compile fupes for you today. so im basically done. | 07:14 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: well you could have just pointed me to the right direction. | 07:14 |

| casey_ | Dr_Willis: Btw no one is forcing you to be here. So don't give me this "I spent 40+ minutes" and now i'm done. I'm just asking for help. | 07:15 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: I told you I don't know what to do with that page. Hence the reason I need help. | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | casey_: what part of it specifically is so confuseing? | 07:15 |
| Dr_Willis | you dont need to compile it - its in the repos. so that skips the fiurst part. | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | 'sudo apt-get install ushare' | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | installs it | 07:16 |
| casey_ | Dr_Willis: What's with this tech ego thing you got going on here? I installed ushare, i don't know how to use it, i'm asking for help. It's not a gui program and I don't know how to access it. Damn. | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | uShare expects at least one directory argument (-c argument), specifying where multimedia files are stored. You should probably also use the -i option to specify which interface uShare should listen on. | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | ushare -c /shares | 07:16 |
| Dr_Willis | thats the command to start ushare.. use your path to your media instead of /shares | 07:16 |

| zaksoldier | theme | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ushare -c /shares <------------ replace /shares with the path to your media. also you will need to customuse /etc/ushare.conf FIRST 'gksudo gedit /etc/ushare.conf' | 07:18 |

| rww | Juest: then go to sleep? | 08:16 |
| bazhang | Juest, then come back tomorrow. repeating like that will get you zero help | 08:16 |
| MK`` | botcity: 10.10, it's a gateway laptop. I've burned like 40 CDs on this already, this issue came out of nowhere | 08:16 |
| Juest | nope, just waiting for an answer, also, tudalex left :( | 08:16 |
| === abhijeet_ is now known as abhijeet | ||
| Juest | he was the one who was helping me with it | 08:17 |
| Juest | really nobody knows nothing about why gnome 3 messed 10.10 gnome 2? | 08:18 |
| carlos48 | olas | 08:18 |
| bazhang | !repeat | Juest | 08:18 |
| ubottu | Juest: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 08:18 |
| MaRk-I | Juest: there's no gnome3 for 10.10 | 08:18 |
| Juest | yeah, but i see gnome 3 in synaptic manager | 08:20 |
| MaRk-I | Juest: did you add the PPA yourself? | 08:20 |
| Juest | carlos48: cual es tu problema? a que vienes? | 08:20 |
| Juest | ok, yes, i saw it and installed | 08:21 |
| thien | how to mix mic input and sound output to record a karaoke ? | 08:21 |
| rww | the unsupported, unstable PPA? | 08:21 |
| Juest | idk | 08:21 |
| bazhang | Juest, its not supported. dont ask for support with it. | 08:21 |
| Juest | just the only one -.- | 08:21 |
| Juest | and it messed my gnome 2 | 08:21 |
| Spikehead777 | Hmm... be back in a little while, going to try PowerStrip on my Vista drive and see if that can give me a good modeline for Ubuntu. | 08:21 |
| Juest | because of gnome-shell | 08:21 |
| MaRk-I | Juest: ok if you read the PPA page it says it's only for NATTY, and if you install might break your system and is not reversible, so you're on your own | 08:21 |
| bazhang | Juest, thats why you dont use unsupported software. | 08:21 |
| Juest | and main themes were blown | 08:22 |
| Juest | ok, i didn't read deeply | 08:22 |
| Juest | and i was using synaptic manager | 08:22 |
| bazhang | Juest, its unsupported means you wont get support with it here. so please stop asking. | 08:22 |
| Juest | :( | 08:22 |
| Juest | ok, just want to fix my gnome 2 | 08:22 |
| Juest | what!? | 08:23 |
| thien | is there stereo mix in ubuntu like in windows ? | 08:23 |
| Juest | kick? | 08:23 |
| bazhang | Juest, its unsupported. dont ask for support with it. | 08:23 |
| MaRk-I | i guess you're going to sleep earlier than thought.... | 08:23 |
| Juest | yeah, is unsupported, but gnome 2 is supported? | 08:24 |
| bazhang | Juest, your problems stem from the PPA. | 08:24 |
| Juest | and the mess with genome 2 and 3 is not suppported? | 08:24 |
| Juest | gnome* | 08:25 |
| Juest | stem??? | 08:25 |
| botcity | MK``, does your laptop recognize the other disks you burned ? | 08:25 |
| bazhang | any breakage from the PPA (unsupported) is your issue to deal with. | 08:25 |
| Juest | too bad, coming here because of gnome 2 brick | 08:26 |
| MaRk-I | This package contains packages from GNOME3 and their dependencies so they can be used in Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty). This PPA is EXPERIMENTAL and MAY BREAK YOUR SYSTEM. There is no downgrade process. | 08:26 |
| Juest | :O | 08:26 |
| Juest | that wasn't in synaptic manager description! | 08:27 |
| kaatta | im having issues getting ubuntu netbook installed on an eeepc 701sd. 2 issues actually. 1) the install window is too tall to fit in the 800x480 resolution, the progress bar and back, forward buttons are off screen | 08:27 |
| bazhang | Juest, you added the ppa, you should have checked. | 08:27 |
| Juest | then? | 08:27 |
| kaatta | and 2) even on a live CD partitions are being mounted and i am unable to format the HD for a fresh install using gparted | 08:27 |
| Juest | i don't added the ppa just downloaded | 08:27 |
| Juest | and installed | 08:28 |
| bazhang | Juest, thats simply not possible. | 08:28 |
| Juest | lol? | 08:28 |
| MK`` | botcity: when I insert the disks it's throwing mounting errors, however if I select to mount the volume manually it works | 08:28 |
| MaRk-I | Juest: plain and simple, you want gnome2, backup your data and re-install. end of discusion | 08:29 |
| Juest | :(, no warnings in package description | 08:29 |
| botcity | MK``, can you paste bin the errors ? and post the link. | 08:29 |
| bazhang | Juest, yes there are. in the PPA page. | 08:30 |
| Juest | ok, uninstalling all gnome-related | 08:30 |
| kaatta | wondering if anyone could help me with a hard drive issue. I am booting liveUSB and am getting read write errors (lack of permission). I cant seem to unmount the HD even though im running off USB | 08:30 |
| Juest | where's the ppa? what package is? | 08:30 |
| Juest | kaatta: do sudo | 08:31 |
| Juest | try with super user | 08:31 |
| kaatta | i spent all day on google yesterday | 08:31 |
| Juest | lol, | 08:31 |
| kaatta | found a guide to log into super user | 08:31 |
| Juest | check if your hd is ok? | 08:31 |
| kaatta | and a step by step fdisk guide | 08:31 |
| kaatta | but i got errors doing that | 08:31 |
| Juest | and the drivers? | 08:31 |
| kaatta | saying something about unable to do the operation, system was in use or something, still using old kernal | 08:32 |
| MK`` | botcity: "Unable to mount Xubuntu 10.04.2 i386" "Error mounting: mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /media/Xubuntu 10.04.2 i386 busy" is the popup | 08:32 |
| Juest | you have to load them, maybe they aren't part of default | 08:32 |
| cybrhuman | bazhang: I got the gnome3-session in my repos, and I think I have only added medibuntu. | 08:32 |
| Juest | cybrhuman: do you had gnome 2 installed there? | 08:33 |
| kaatta | im really no good with terminal, not enough experience, have always used gparted from ubuntu's advanced partition option | 08:33 |
| kaatta | however i cant even do that cuz the window isnt fitting on screen, im only seeing the top 3/4 of the install window | 08:33 |
| Juest | kaatta: gksu gparted | 08:33 |
| Juest | ok, try install directly | 08:33 |
| gagebw | Flash doesn't seem to be on the mozilla addons page, and when I download the .deb from the Adobe site, it doesn't install it in firefox. What should my next step be? | 08:33 |
| Juest | or try to get a higher res | 08:33 |
| Juest | even yet, is too low | 08:33 |
| Juest | 800x600 works perfect | 08:34 |
| bazhang | cybrhuman, thats not in medibuntu | 08:34 |
| Juest | and is not the same | 08:34 |
| kaatta | juest: its a 800x480 netbook, its the highest resolution i am able to chose | 08:34 |
| Juest | :( | 08:34 |
| Juest | too bad | 08:34 |
| musk | Juest see #12 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1726755&page=2 | 08:34 |
| kaatta | yea, kinda irked me that the 'netbook' edition didnt anticipate resolution issues on the install window | 08:34 |
| cybrhuman | Juest: gagebw "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer" | 08:34 |
| Juest | musk: what that? | 08:35 |
| gagebw | I've found mentions of a libflashplayer.so, but it wasn't installed as part of the package. | 08:35 |
| cybrhuman | Juest: oups, not meant to hilight you there :P | 08:35 |
| Juest | lol | 08:35 |
| botcity | MK``, are all the cds you are burning iso's? | 08:35 |

| fosser_josh1 | i just visited this website http://www.edubuntu.org/weblive and tried ubuntu thanks to stgraber. I wanted to how to setup these thing in LAN. As i wanted to setup in my college LAN so that other people who all are not using ubuntu will try it and hopefully will shift to GNU/Linux | 08:52 |
| cybrhuman | Is there a way to know which repos a package is coming from? | 08:53 |
| cybrhuman | gagebw: trying to figure out which repos I got the flashplugin from | 08:54 |
| rww | cybrhuman: apt-cache policy packagenamehere | 08:55 |
| html_inprogress | cybrhuman, well type the exact name in google ,.its what i do | 08:55 |
| cybrhuman | rww: ty :) | 08:55 |
| cybrhuman | html_inprogress: I prefer asking the system, the internets might be wrong | 08:56 |
| gagebw | cybrhuman: also perhaps apt-cache show (package) | 08:56 |
| botcity | MK``, can you boot one of those iso's you have burned for test purposes ? from you laptop.. | 08:56 |
| cybrhuman | gagebw: but it still won't install flashplugin-nonfreee when asked to? | 08:57 |
| html_inprogress | cybrhuman, and if you pair it with google history then it might say you have been there before | 08:57 |
| gagebw | It's not in a repo I have, so it can't download it. | 08:57 |
| gagebw | It knows of it because it's referenced by another | 08:57 |
| cybrhuman | gagebw: that is strange.... | 08:57 |
| cybrhuman | gagebw: could it be a mirror issue? | 08:58 |
| gagebw | Doesn't seem likely., but then again I'm no expert | 08:58 |
| cybrhuman | gagebw: neither am I but I have run into bad mirrors before, ( well lacking my rather special packages ) | 08:59 |
| html_inprogress | cybrhuman, well the general rule of thum is whats most in common facts, i have only made a very few mistakes cuz the links (urls did work | 08:59 |

| kaatta | html_inprogress: I tried to use the gksu gparted to do the formatting | 09:01 |
| kaatta | i saved the details | 09:01 |
| kaatta | of the error | 09:01 |

| html_inprogress | ok | 09:01 |
| cheip | I've a problem with my ubuntu: I've connected a VGA monitor, but ubuntu doesen't recognizes a good resolution, the meximum is 1024x768, but it's a 16:9 monitor! what I can do? | 09:02 |
| cybrhuman | gagebw: would it be worth a try to change mirror? | 09:02 |
| html_inprogress | kaatta, om me | 09:02 |
| fruzzetto | help | 09:02 |

| html_inprogress | cybrhuman, well whats your installed item? | 09:03 |
| gagebw | i guess if it's a mirror | 09:03 |
| html_inprogress | just backtrack your package | 09:03 |
| html_inprogress | ok to you kaatta | 09:03 |
| gagebw | But I got it from Adobe | 09:04 |
| gagebw | There's no other package | 09:04 |

| cheip | no one helps me? :( | 09:05 |
| nesbitt | cheip: have you enabled your proprietary drivers? | 09:05 |

| html_inprogress | sorry bot | 09:06 |
| kaatta | atlef: live USB via unetbootin | 09:07 |
| nesbitt | cheip: oh ok. i'm not sure, maybe changing stuff in Xorg.conf could help, but i'm not too good with that stuff sorry. give it a google though if you haven't tried it yet | 09:07 |
| rohan | is there a way to prevent nouveau from creating the /sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight interface? | 09:07 |
| rohan | i want to use nvidiabl (https://github.com/guillaumezin/nvidiabl) for brightness control, since it works much better | 09:07 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: yea, thats what was in the pastebin i linked | 09:07 |
| html_inprogress | kaatta, sounds as if your running off ubcd live,, are you? | 09:08 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: currently have 10.10 desktop running from USB, unstalled via unetbootin on an eeepc 701SD | 09:09 |
| gagebw | Hmm..This is a more basic question. I'm using locate to see what flashplugin-related files I have, which uses 'updatedb'. But updatedb won't update when I ask it to. | 09:10 |
| html_inprogress | thats an error i got fsnc or something your hardware not working right i sucpect | 09:10 |
| gagebw | so the search is out of date by a few hours | 09:10 |
| gagebw | Nevermind, had to be root | 09:10 |

| kaatta | html_inprogress: u think its hardware then? i ran f2ck (or something like it) and it said that it didnt have any errors | 09:13 |
| cybrhuman | rohan: just checking, doesn't nvidiabl depend on the proprietary drivers? | 09:13 |
| gagebw | cybrhuman: might have made progress, restarting to find out | 09:14 |

| x86 | Dr_Willis: yeah I hear that... Although I've only ever had 9.10 on this server, and I've never had any trouble at all with it | 10:12 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: or i can spend $20 on an 8gb SD card, use that as the HDD, and have the exact same thing as a brand new one w/ a working 8gb SSD | 10:12 |
| x86 | it auto-worked :P | 10:12 |
| Dr_Willis | normally SiS auto-fails. | 10:13 |
| syrinx_ | kaatta: not exactly an IDE, but a text editor that does EVERYTHING. Someone even wrote an FPS in emacs | 10:13 |
| syrinx_ | kaatta: that is exactly the point, at its core, it's just a text editor | 10:13 |
| syrinx_ | kaatta: but you can do SO much in it that it is basically an OS | 10:13 |
| x86 | kaatta: make sure you get a class 10 SD card... they cost about double, but performance-wise they are SO worth it | 10:13 |
| html_inprogress | that might be whats wrong , but i got to see..... | 10:13 |
| html_inprogress | the ssd! | 10:13 |
| syrinx_ | kaatta: obviously, its not as easy to use as an IDE | 10:13 |
| ouyes | how to see the device number of usb device? for example 0x80 means the first hard disk drive, 0x00 means a floppy | 10:13 |
| syrinx_ | kaatta: worth learning though, because you can program pretty much anything with it, and it's considerably smaller than an IDE | 10:14 |
| Rehan | my laptop shuts down whenever i hit suspend on it -- what could I do to fix this? | 10:14 |
| html_inprogress | is ssd supported Dr_Willis ? | 10:14 |
| kaatta | x86: prolly not gonna bother with it. its a free machine for casual use. my primary machine is windows *ducks... i think the cheaper card i can get will suit my needs @ this point. not looking to blow much $$ on it at all | 10:14 |
| ouyes | Rehan, press ESC | 10:14 |
| Rehan | ouyes: escape? when? | 10:15 |
| Dr_Willis | html_inprogress: by what? | 10:15 |
| ouyes | Rehan, after suspend | 10:15 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: this SSD problem, just wondering, do you know of any way i can scan for bad sectors, partition around it, and still use the SSD @ a smaller capacity? | 10:15 |
| syrinx_ | kaatta: you can even use it without a DE, ie, you can ssh into a box and use emacs to edit whatever you need to edit, ala vi | 10:16 |
| html_inprogress | kaatta, and it would help a bunch if you upgraded your ram, 512 to at least 1gb future proof 2gb | 10:16 |
| Rehan | ouyes: instead of any other key? If I touch any other key, it just boots from the start | 10:16 |
| Rehan | ouyes: as in it responds to a key press for wakeup but it just does a fresh boot instead of coming back to wherever I was | 10:16 |
| html_inprogress | kaatta, ask the wonderful doc, | 10:17 |
| kaatta | syrinx_: thank you, i will def be looking into it right away. appreciate the tip | 10:17 |
| ouyes | Rehan, I see you problem, I rarely use the suspend option, | 10:17 |
| syrinx_ | kaatta: all you have to do is "apt-get install emacs | 10:17 |
| Rehan | ouyes: ok. whats the ESC press do? | 10:17 |
| kaatta | Dr_Willis: do you know of anyway i can scan my HDD for the bad sectors, partition around them and then use the SSD at a smaller capacity? | 10:18 |
| html_inprogress | kaatta, you know you need at least 4gb for an os to install and do the updates? | 10:18 |
| ouyes | Rehan, pressing esc will wake up the suspended lap | 10:18 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: im currently using a 4gb pendrive | 10:18 |
| html_inprogress | well for the one im talkin about, | 10:19 |
| html_inprogress | and i wish i could get my pendrive to work... still havent been 2 years | 10:20 |
| syrinx_ | html_inprogress usb drive? | 10:20 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: what do you mean | 10:20 |
| html_inprogress | rambling, | 10:20 |
| html_inprogress | to much code on the brain | 10:21 |
| html_inprogress | yes syrinx_ , | 10:21 |
| perlmonkey | hi, I'm trying to run a wine app which although appears to be running, is not showing on my desktop... I suspect it may be because the last time I ran it, I had two monitors (twinview) but now I only have one.. I can see the process on list running, is there any remedy? | 10:22 |
| syrinx_ | html_inprogress: what is wrong with it? | 10:22 |
| syrinx_ | html_inprogress: they are pretty cheap now; I got a 8g for about $12 USD | 10:22 |
| html_inprogress | Dr_Willis, whats the few lowest resoultion that ubuntu can handle? | 10:22 |
| syrinx_ | html_inprogress: I put Ubuntu on it and install it for people that want to switch | 10:22 |
| Dr_Willis | html_inprogress: whatever X could handle i imaginest. but i wouldent think ubuntu/gnome wouldbe very useable on anything lower then a 600x800 screen | 10:23 |
| kaatta | having trouble finding lubuntu 10.10 in torrent format | 10:23 |
| html_inprogress | syrinx_, whats the link to what your using? | 10:24 |
| kaatta | Dr_Willis: , html_inprogress , i can attest that using ubuntu on 800x480 is a headache | 10:24 |
| syrinx_ | html_inprogress: the usb drive? | 10:24 |
| html_inprogress | ioshunt.com | 10:24 |
| html_inprogress | yes | 10:24 |
| syrinx_ | its just an HP drive that I got on clearance at walmart | 10:24 |
| html_inprogress | well i think thats what kaatta is dealing with | 10:25 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: i use UNetbootin to set up a distro on my pendrive. it works with ANY iso image. its fast. <3 it | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | perlmonkey: you can try mouseing over to where its 'at' and hold down the alt key, click , and hopefully grab the window and move it to the other monitor. :) | 10:25 |
| syrinx_ | html_inprogress: but at the lab where I work, people lose them all the time, and after 30 days, its free stuff | 10:25 |
| Dr_Willis | perlmonkey: or try right clicking on it in the task manager panel thing, and min/max/move/resize it. | 10:25 |
| perlmonkey | Dr_Willis thanks :) | 10:25 |
| kesor | hi i fucked up my about:config file in firefox 4, will reinstalling it take everything to default? | 10:26 |

| syrinx_ | oops | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | kesor: reinstalling firefox will NOT affect user settings.. removeing the users .mozilla dir can. or theres other ways.. | 10:26 |
| syrinx_ | ^ kesor | 10:26 |
| Dr_Willis | kesor: reinstalling firefox will NOT affect user settings.. removeing the users .mozilla dir can. or theres other ways.. | 10:26 |
| kesor | Dr_willis how? | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis | move or delte or rename the .mozilla directory | 10:27 |
| Dr_Willis | or the profile in the dir. or use a new profile. | 10:27 |
| kaatta | Dr_Willis: the alternate cd has more seeders... but im a little intimidated about trying to use an alt install. is it difficult? | 10:28 |
| Dr_Willis | kaatta: just use tab and enter to move about.. not much harder at all. | 10:28 |
| kaatta | k k ty | 10:29 |
| Dr_Willis | kaatta: this is the lubuntu cd you are talking about? | 10:29 |
| Dr_Willis | or was that someone else. :) | 10:29 |
| atlef | kesor, you can also start the firefox profilemanager an make a new profile | 10:29 |
| atlef | *and | 10:29 |
| html_inprogress | syrinx_, lol free huh ill buy one | 10:30 |
| syrinx_ | html_inprogress: well, I mean, they're cheap | 10:30 |
| syrinx_ | html_inprogress: you may not be able to get one free, but they're definitely under $20USD for around 8gb | 10:30 |
| syrinx_ | if you look hard enough | 10:31 |
| Dr_Willis | i saw 16gb fro $29 last week. and 32gb for like 39 or 49 i forget which.. | 10:31 |

| kaatta | Dr_Willis: was talking about lubuntu alternate.iso... i prefer to torrent when DLing a distro, the reg iso had 1 seeder, the alt had 7... | 10:32 |
| De|ta | i'm suffering with very poor transfer speeds, so am hoping a driver update is going to sort things | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis | kaatta: i imagine the direct download wouldbe faster. :) | 10:32 |
| Dr_Willis | kaatta: i think lubuntu is smaller then a full cd also. | 10:32 |
| De|ta | 1.2mb/s over gbE is a bit.. well, poor! | 10:32 |

| Dr_Willis | De|ta: i have never in the many years of using Linux had to 'update' a nic driver. :) wireless cards perhaops.. wired rarely had issues. | 10:35 |
| Dr_Willis | De|ta: try a newer release. see if same issue is in 11.04 perhaps. | 10:36 |
| De|ta | i've gone from 10.10 back down to 10.04 and the issue is still there | 10:36 |

| kaatta | Dr_Willis: i remember trying to do that with KDE once, it was a nightmare | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | I mixx in kde and gnome all the time on muy machines. :) rarely an issue these days | 10:42 |
| atlef | kesor, ok sorry that it didn't fix it for you. can you not revert what you did in about:config | 10:42 |
| Dr_Willis | my main box has Lubuntu+kubuntu+ubuntu | 10:42 |
| kaatta | i always liked the KDE feel, but it wasnt nearly as stable feeling as gnome | 10:42 |

| Dr_Willis | html_inprogress: clarify what you mean. | 10:45 |
| herol3oy | is there any free ssh shell account to bypass all my internet packeages (firefox) throught it? | 10:45 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: from what i remember, u had to add a couple sources, then you could install via the software center | 10:45 |

| blip- | Using gnome | 10:50 |
| html_inprogress | oh the bug | 10:50 |

| herol3oy | kaatta: not actually a VPN, but something like that | 10:50 |
| html_inprogress | blip, just switch user or back out , | 10:51 |
| html_inprogress | thats a bug | 10:51 |
| kaatta | herol3oy: sorry, i dunno what cjb.net is, but i use a VPN that is not terrible on speed, but not great. however it is 100% secure annonymity | 10:51 |

| Morkeleb | i'm having problems compiling gcc (4.5.2) and already posted on #gcc but nobody answers. where else can I ask about this (have a linux system but it's not ubuntu, but did not know where else to go and ask, maybe you can just point me in the right direction) | 10:52 |
| herol3oy | kaatta: is that a free one? | 10:52 |

| botcity | herol3oy, anonymity has its price. you could try to get a shellium account they are strict thought | 10:53 |

| himanshu | where i use postfix for mail but during installation it shows uanble toinstall | 10:54 |

| Rehan | is there a way to have more options for the login screen? | 10:56 |
| himanshu | blip : can u help me to setup mail through terminal | 10:56 |
| html_inprogress | even if there is no password, its still locks you out, then do what i judt told you.. | 10:56 |
| blip- | himanshu, sorry don't know how, i used thunderbird | 10:56 |
| Rehan | System -> Administration -> Login Screen seems to have very few options | 10:57 |
| himanshu | blip : i want to setup using terminal | 10:57 |
| Rehan | I saw someone on an older version of Ubuntu with a lot more user configurable options for login screen, like disabling visual feedback of password entry, etc | 10:57 |
| blip- | Rehan, use KDE if you want more options, you can spend a whole week in it's window theme options alone :D | 10:58 |
| herol3oy | botcity: do u have any shellium account now? | 10:58 |
| Rehan | blip-: how does KDE fit into a default ubuntu install? sorry i'm a complete newbie, not sure what KDE is and what it would be replacing... | 10:58 |
| kaatta | rehan ubuntu = gnome, kubuntu = KDE | 10:59 |
| html_inprogress | herol3oy, im not sure but i guess you can just try a safe way first, but right now put your power settings as off as you can even you moniter | 10:59 |
| Rehan | kaatta: ahh...so i'd have to start all over? | 10:59 |
| kaatta | Rehan: basically, its just like running ubuntu, except u google kubuntu instead | 10:59 |
| html_inprogress | kaatta, how it going | 10:59 |
| herol3oy | botcity: cause right now you can not create a new account there in shellium.org | 11:00 |
| himanshu | i want to merge my two hard disk partition in to one , how can i do it? | 11:00 |
| kaatta | Rehan: KDE is more windows similar in my experience, but its a bit more complicated and techy also. in my experience it has been far less stable and usable "out of the box" then ubuntu | 11:00 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: 2:58:08 eta | 11:00 |
| Rehan | kaatta: gotcha, thanks for the explanation | 11:00 |
| html_inprogress | torrant? | 11:00 |
| botcity | herol3oy, no i do not have a shellium account . | 11:01 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: shut it down, if i dont get it from direct DL by the time i get off work (which i prolly wont) then ill torrent it in 20 min as soon as i get home | 11:01 |
| herol3oy | botcity: what is this site about? just for shell accounts? | 11:01 |
| blip- | Rehan, it's just a different style, some people prefer KDE and others prefer Gnome. You could get a Kubuntu LiveCD if you wanted to check out KDE, you can also install KDE on Ubuntu but I don't recommend that since you are new to Linux | 11:01 |
| Rehan | blip-: great, thank you | 11:02 |
| blip- | Rehan, ignore KDE for now so you're not overwhelmed with the options :) | 11:02 |
| html_inprogress | kaatta can i send it to you? | 11:02 |
| Rehan | blip-: good advice | 11:02 |
| kaatta | html_inprogress: send? the issue lies entirely in my very very slow internet @ work. regardless of its source, i wont get much in the way of speed on this | 11:03 |
| Rehan | blip-: do you know how to theme grub2 with gfxmenu? | 11:03 |
| blip- | Rehan, sorry I haven't played around with this stuff for many years. There is a grub channel maybe they can help | 11:04 |
| Rehan | blip-: sweet thanks, will check in there | 11:04 |

| ZeXx86 | I dont remember it, I running arch linux | 11:36 |
| eXscalate | farrukhjon: well... three days ago everything was working just perfectly and the sound was coming out of my laptop speakers. then suddenly from one moment to the other the sound stopped working while i was watching a youtube video and the sound didnt go on anymore. when i plugged in headphones the sound came out of the headphones but as soon as i removed them again, no sound at all anymore. | 11:37 |

| ZeXx86 | Guest91869: ah, strange | 11:38 |
| ZeXx86 | Guest91869: so try sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx | 11:38 |
| eXscalate | farrukhjon: its really a weird problem. im not an expert in linux and have only very basic knowledge... but i tried to fix it through pulseaudio and also alsamixer | 11:40 |
| Guest91869 | ZeXx86, Nvidia is not available but is referred to by another package etc | 11:40 |
| ZeXx86 | Guest91869: so try recommended package | 11:40 |
| ZeXx86 | Guest91869: it is case-sensitive too | 11:41 |
| Guest91869 | ZeXx86, It says no installation candidate | 11:41 |
| botcity | eXscalate, have got all the codecs ? | 11:41 |

| ZeXx86 | Guest91869: try nvidia or nvidia-glx-new or try to search nvidia package with: apt-cache search nvidia | 11:42 |
| ZeXx86 | and you should see package names | 11:42 |
| eXscalate | botcity: i guess so, since it was working all the time... why would i suddenly uninstall the codecs? i didnt change anything | 11:42 |
| dr0id | i cant understand, what is the source and exec command meant for ? | 11:42 |
| farrukhjon | who uses Skype to whom I can either test my webcam | 11:43 |

| farrukhjon | try does not work | 11:44 |
| eXscalate | html_inprogress: how do you mean? that by installing an upgrade i lost codecs or the speakers? | 11:44 |
| Guest91869 | ZeXx86, apt cache search nvidia gives me a long list whAT am I looking for? | 11:44 |

| coz_ | Daniel0108, let me check something | 12:26 |
| Guest91869 | ZeXx86, can I activate irc chat from command line ? | 12:27 |
| razz11 | just installed a second HD, but unable to mount it, I can see the labels in he places tab, but clicking on them has no effect, fdisk -l does not list the two partitions on the second hard drive | 12:27 |
| Daniel0108 | coz_: okay | 12:27 |
| ZeXx86 | Guest91869: yes, but you have to install irc client | 12:27 |

| ZeXx86 | Guest91869: ok, try sudo service kdm start | 12:27 |
| mknix | pranav, for other langs such as html, js 'man tidy'. afaik there is a plugin for it for gedit | 12:27 |

| chris00 | I installed unity on ubuntu 10.10 and removed it but now I have a problem with my screen in gnome. It only shows 1/4 of it(the upper-left portion). How can I fix it? | 12:27 |

| Oins | Hi. I like to disable bluetooth as default on bootup. First idea was to prevent the bluetooth module to be loaded. So i can modeprobe it, if needed. How can i do this? | 13:26 |
| tommis | newlinux, when this problem occurred? | 13:26 |
| ManDay | Does anyone know how to make pidgin RING when someone Google Talk-calls? | 13:26 |

| patrunjel | I have an Acer Aspire One, and installed Ubuntu netbook edition on it, but I can't stand the interface, I simply hate it. Do you have a clue on how to make the GUI look like a desktop one, or how can I install the desktop version of Ubuntu on my Aspire One? | 13:37 |
| newlinux | heyy, i got the problem, that my laptop doesnt boot up further then tty1 and shows this: /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs need help | 13:37 |
| patrunjel | I have thought of using a netbook kernel, and the rest of the OS from the desktop version of Ubuntu, but I'm not so sure that will work... | 13:37 |
| fliegenderfrosch | patrunjel: with ubuntu 11.04 (release next thursday) you can choose the environment at login | 13:38 |
| fliegenderfrosch | patrunjel: which ubuntu version do you have installed now? | 13:39 |
| patrunjel | fliegenderfrosch, 10.10 :) | 13:39 |
| wjj | i think 10.04 LTS is best one | 13:40 |
| billy | I don't like the unity interface either. I switched to XFCE desktop environment on 11.04 works great | 13:40 |
| fliegenderfrosch | patrunjel: it should probably be possible to install "ubuntu-desktop" and chose the traditional interface at login | 13:40 |
| c28 | help hilight | 13:40 |
| wjj | unity is shit | 13:40 |
| kavurt | patrunjel: there's an easier way, you just click on something under settings, i don't remember exactly. but if you remove ubuntu-netbook-remix mormal desktop will load. | 13:41 |
| wjj | i think gnome3 better than unity | 13:41 |
| phil42 | buona pascua | 13:41 |
| tommis | newlinux, can you run commands? | 13:41 |
| patrunjel | fliegenderfrosch, well, there shouldn't be too much of a difference between the desktop and notebook versions, but I think that the machine-end of the OS will be 100% different | 13:42 |
| billy | XFCE desktop works the best for me. Dont like the new layout on wither unity or gnome 3 | 13:42 |
| tommis | type what uname -a says | 13:42 |
| patrunjel | kavurt, i don't even have the settings stuff in the upper-left...this gui sucks :P | 13:42 |
| patrunjel | the desktop isn't even on the desktop :)) | 13:43 |
| kavurt | patrunjel: open the terminal and sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-netbook-remix | 13:43 |
| c28 | -mask mynick!*@* | 13:43 |
| fliegenderfrosch | patrunjel: afaik the kernel is the same for both versions | 13:44 |
| billy | Unity is a bad idea. Glad we can pick what desktop environment we use | 13:44 |
| wjj | i like gnome 3 | 13:45 |
| patrunjel | fliegenderfrosch, wow, I didn't really thought that was possible. Is this true for the other distros (considering that this is a Ubuntu chat, if you don't wanna ask it's ok :) ) | 13:45 |
| wjj | but 11.04 donot support gnome 3 | 13:46 |
| dr0id | wjj: really ? | 13:46 |
| dr0id | so what all will 11.04 have ? | 13:46 |
| dr0id | xfce, kde and unity ? | 13:46 |
| Guest91869 | Hello. I cannot connect to internet with my PC. I am on failsafe gnome | 13:46 |
| dr0id | unity should be slow , and kde is kinda slow too | 13:46 |
| dr0id | i thought i would upgrade to 11.04 gnome next month | 13:46 |
| wjj | dr0id,yes. only xfce,kde ,unity | 13:47 |
| * phil42 likes and uses xfce but sometimes wishes for more bells and whistles | 13:47 | |
| patrunjel | kavurt, it says "Unable to locate package" . But untill the remix word, the autocomplete works fine (so there should be something else related... ) | 13:48 |
| billy | I am using 11.04 with xfce works great so far. only been a few days. Couldn't stand unity. switched it right away. | 13:48 |
| kavurt | patrunjel: might be ubuntu-netbook then | 13:48 |
| patrunjel | kavurt, I only have ubuntu-netbook and ubuntu-netbook-default-settings, what sould i remove | 13:48 |
| De|ta | my nic isn't in gibabit mode, how do i put it in? ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off doesn't work | 13:49 |
| dr0id | thats bad :( | 13:49 |
| dr0id | i need more ram then | 13:49 |
| patrunjel | kavurt, oh, ok, thanks a lot :) (should i run it from tty or a terminal emulator? I guess the GUI screwes up if I run it from the emulator)... | 13:49 |
| fliegenderfrosch | patrunjel: try removing ubuntu-netbook | 13:49 |

| kavurt | patrunjel: i don't think it matters | 13:50 |
| Guest91869 | Hello. | 13:50 |
| Guest91869 | I need help. | 13:51 |
| Guest91869 | First I need to connect to the internet. | 13:51 |
| Guest91869 | I am operating under gnome failsafe as, having just installed KDE on ubuntu 10.04, I cant access the graphic interface. | 13:51 |
| Neuroznanie | русские есть? | 13:51 |
| FloodBot2 | Guest91869: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:51 |
| teemo | now i can do the partitioning fine, using the osx disk utility, which add an EFI partition before all the above partitions, i can then install windows 7 fine, however the problem is that windows 7 can't see any partitions beyond partition 3 | 13:51 |
| patrunjel | kavurt, yeah, I removed it from an emulator just to see if it's possible, it didn't happened nothing bad, but it didn't change the GUI at all :) | 13:51 |
| H4VK | how would I go about making it so I could just type "x" in the terminal and get "y -option ---option2"? | 13:51 |
| H4VK | I tried making a .sh script and placing it in /bin/ but I just got a permission denied error every time I tried to execute it. | 13:51 |
| patrunjel | (i have rebooted the notebook) | 13:51 |
| iceroot | teemo: ##windows | 13:51 |
| phil42 | teemo: the convention seems to be that partition 1 will be your main os, 2 will be extened and the rest of the partitions will be in the extended partition | 13:51 |
| wjj | Neuroznanie，can you speak english? | 13:51 |
| Neuroznanie | хью | 13:51 |
| Guest91869 | floodboot2, that is not flooding | 13:51 |
| Guest91869 | First I need to connect to the internet. | 13:51 |
| Neuroznanie | нет | 13:51 |
| iceroot | teemo: also why it is important windows can see other partitions? windows cant read ext by default | 13:52 |
| lemon24 | hello! could you please recommend me a c++ channel? (thanks) (i'm a bit new to this chat thing) | 13:52 |

| lemon24 | thanks, iceroot | 13:52 |
| fliegenderfrosch | Guest91869: FloodBot2 is a bot, so it’s no use writing to it, and what it meant is that [enter] should not be used as punctuation | 13:52 |

| phil42 | teemo: i don't know (when you don't know the answer to a question, the correct answer is 'i don't know') | 13:53 |
| teemo | iceroot, i want windows to be able to see partitions 4 and 7 | 13:53 |
| iceroot | teemo: ok but that has nothing to do with ubuntu support | 13:53 |
| lemon24 | iceroot: i know a bit of python and a bit more of php already ... i need help on a specific c++ problem | 13:53 |
| dr0id | anyone ? | 13:53 |
| dr0id | what is the exec command meant for exactl y? | 13:54 |
| teemo | is there a partitioning support channel? :) | 13:54 |
| iceroot | dr0id: man exec | 13:54 |
| patrunjel | I have removed the other package (something that soulded like notebook settings, something like that) and that changed the GUI (after reboot). Yaaaaay, I have a normal GUI now :) Thanks guys | 13:54 |

| phil42 | exec in shell replaces the currently running shell with the exec'd program | 13:54 |
| phil42 | exec in irc runs a program and can, optionally, send the output of the program to the irc channel | 13:55 |
| dr0id | phil42: shall i say, it stops the current running shell and executes/starts the program that was passed ? | 13:55 |

I downloaded the libflashplayer.so from adobe to fix the 64bit chrome/flash not working. when I extract the .so to the file system I can see it in nautilus but not from the command line where I was going to do a "sudo cp blah blah" what gives? why would it not be visible from the terminal? | 14:42 |

| patrunjel | hi guys, i'm trying to make bootable flash drive (with another distro than ubuntu) but i'm using ubuntu for it :) I have tried with the startup disk creator, and with ImageWriter, but it doesn't work. Do you know any other tool for doing this? | 15:38 |
| patrunjel | or, even better, where can I find what mount point my flash drive has? :) | 15:40 |
| cybrhuman | patrunjel: "dd if=path/to/is of=/path/to/device bs=4k" I think would do. please note that /path/to/device is not the mountpoint, but the file in /dev/somehting | 15:41 |
| Sidewinder1 | Right click it and click properties? | 15:41 |
| cyoz | hello guys | 15:41 |
| cybrhuman | patrunjel: type "mount" and it should be in the output in terminal? | 15:41 |
| Sidewinder1 | Hi cyoz | 15:41 |
| patrunjel | cybrhuman, yes, that's what I need, a path to /dev :) | 15:41 |
| patrunjel | thanks | 15:41 |
| cyoz | is there an easy way to "automount" a partition? | 15:41 |
| tieinv | patrunjel, i'v had luck with Unetbootin | 15:42 |
| cybrhuman | patrunjel: when you plug it in I think it shows up in dmesg too, so "dmesg | tail" should also help | 15:42 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, by manually adding the relevant details into /etc/fstab as root and set it as auto for options? | 15:42 |
| patrunjel | tieinv, that's why i need the /dev path to my usb :) | 15:42 |
| cyoz | psycho_oreos, maybe it helps if I describe my actual problem | 15:43 |
| cyoz | I've got a partition "stuff" where all my downloads etc. goes. I use this partition both from linux and windows 7 and got my dropbox folder there. Now dropbox under linux doesn't find the dropbox folder on startup | 15:44 |
| cybrhuman | patrunjel: either in properties in nautilus or "mount" in the terminal, mount will list the currently mounted partitions | 15:44 |
| cyoz | but it does work when I browse the device and restart dropbox | 15:44 |
| cyoz | *partition | 15:44 |
| patrunjel | cybrhuman, i have tried through properties, but i get a /inode path | 15:44 |
| user82 | think ill install elementary... | 15:45 |
| cybrhuman | patrunjel: can you open a terminal and pastebin the output of mount? | 15:45 |
| patrunjel | cybrhuman, got the little brat, with mount :) thanks for the help | 15:45 |
| cybrhuman | patrunjel: ok :) | 15:45 |
| cybrhuman | cyoz: seems like you want to add it to /etc/fstab :) | 15:45 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, it doesn't find it I presume is because the partition isn't mounted no? | 15:47 |
| cyoz | I.. think so | 15:47 |
| TheAnachron | anyone is good at skype? | 15:47 |
| patrunjel | TheAnachron, just say what your problem is, if someone knows, he will help | 15:48 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, you say its a partition, so under nautilus it should appear as a disk. iirc it may appear as greyed out icon (dark gray), until you click on it and then it becomes light gray? | 15:48 |
| ashmew2 | TheAnachron : How do you mean lol..u make it sound like a programming language :P ^^ | 15:48 |
| TheAnachron | Updated skype from 2.1 to 2.2 and now the webcam is black... | 15:48 |
| TheAnachron | can'T downgrade since the deb for skype 2.1 doesn't seem to be anywhere | 15:48 |
| cyoz | psycho_oreos, it looks normal in nautilus but when I browse it the first time after a reboot I notice a short period of "scanning" or something | 15:49 |
| cyoz | like it has to activate it first | 15:49 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, I'm presuming that its not mounted, if you get something that looks like a busy icon when you click on the disk in nautilus for the first time after a reboot for instance then nautilus was basically trying to mount it | 15:51 |
| cyoz | psycho_oreos, yes I think so. the same happens with my audio drive | 15:51 |
| psycho_oreos | also it would mount it under /media I presume :) check via mount| grep media | 15:52 |
| PsyCl0ne | Hi all could someone please possibly explain why I can not obtain root in terminal? | 15:52 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, pastebin the outputs of your mount command (from terminal) | 15:53 |
| psycho_oreos | !root| PsyCl0ne | 15:53 |
| ubottu | PsyCl0ne: 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 | 15:53 |
| shcherbak | PryMaL: Why would you need it? You have sudo. | 15:53 |
| patrunjel | gyts.... my UNetbootin freezes at 85% on step 2. , did this happen to you too? | 15:54 |
| PsyCl0ne | ah shoot :/ I was using su not sudo :( sorry my bad just lacking a ton of sleep | 15:54 |
| cyoz | psycho_oreos, uhm I typed "mount" in the terminal but it's a confusing lest there | 15:54 |
| PsyCl0ne | thanks guys | 15:55 |
| patrunjel | cyoz, what were you trying to do? | 15:55 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, well yes its confusing but I need the output of that command placed into pastebin (a website) and then the link to that pastebinned info to me so I can have a closer look. I'm a bit of old fashioned guy so I prefer looking at stuff from CLI :) | 15:55 |

| psycho_oreos | cyoz, yeah like I suspected, they had to be clicked on to be mounted. To have them automount its really easy, I'd just manually edit /etc/fstab entries (as root) and specifying them as auto for options | 15:59 |
| sam04938475 | hey guys, is 11.04 actually available yet? i cant seem to find it anywhere im using 10.10 and want to try out 11.04 .. thanks | 15:59 |
| psycho_oreos | !11.04| sam04938475 | 15:59 |
| ubottu | sam04938475: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011. Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1. Natty is beta and is not currently intended for production systems. | 15:59 |
| brontosaurusrex | sig0307, maybe alternate installer alows selection of packages to be installed? (just guessing, dunno) | 15:59 |
| zaxonspox | hello, where Ubuntu stores mount schema for CD-ROM? | 16:00 |
| cyoz | psycho_oreos, yes I've already got fstab open here, but the options / syntax are not clear to me | 16:00 |
| DasEi | zaxonspox: schema ? or mountpoint ? | 16:01 |
| patrunjel | guys, I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and I have a Myria webcam, but it doesn't work, can someone please help me out with this? :) | 16:01 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, hang on lemme write out something into pastebin to make it simple for you to copy it across :) | 16:01 |
| zaxonspox | DasEi, i want to change mount permissions - give executable bit | 16:01 |
| DasEi | patrunjel: idk Myria, install cheese in first hand | 16:01 |
| cyoz | psycho_oreos, thanks for your help man | 16:01 |
| patrunjel | DasEi, done :) iI have installed it | 16:02 |
| prower | how could i go about changing the version of python used by default in ubuntu 10.10? | 16:02 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, don't thank me yet :) I haven't done anything just loaded up another pastebin site | 16:02 |
| brontosaurusrex | sig0307, also maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD (again guessing) | 16:02 |
| DasEi | patrunjel: start and see if cam is found | 16:02 |
| cyoz | psycho_oreos, but I think things become clearer slowly | 16:03 |
| cyoz | it seems the syntax from the mount command and that file are similar | 16:03 |
| cyoz | or the same | 16:03 |
| sig0307 | brontosaurusrex thanks for the info - I was a "little" confused about the error messages issued by the installer for v.10.10 | 16:04 |
| patrunjel | DasEi, Epic fail...it was working from the begining, it just had its luminosity thingy way too down... (can you please help me make it brighter? ) | 16:04 |
| DasEi | zaxonspox: you can cd in the mountdir, own your executable and set the bit on the file | 16:04 |
| mrcreativity | i need some some help with chrome's fonts | 16:05 |
| cyoz | so.. I figured to change fstab I need to open it as root so I typed in "sudo gedit etc/fstab" | 16:06 |
| DasEi | patrunjel: hangle through the settings, if cheese finds the cam, it'll be supported, and the gui has settings for it | 16:06 |
| ashmew2 | !ask | mrcreativity | 16:06 |
| ubottu | mrcreativity: 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. :-) | 16:06 |
| cyoz | but it starts from my home folder and doesn't find it | 16:06 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, http://pastebin.com/P52vtyU6 <--- every second line you see aren't meant to be a second line when you paste it into your own /etc/fstab, those are all meant to be tab delimited entries | 16:06 |
| mrcreativity | they look odd | 16:06 |
| ashmew2 | mrcreativity : which distro? | 16:06 |
| mrcreativity | they look very, uh, rough | 16:06 |
| zaxonspox | DasEi FS is read-only - i cant do chown, chmod as it wont take any results | 16:06 |
| erUSUL | !gksudo | cyoz | 16:06 |
| ubottu | cyoz: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 16:06 |
| patrunjel | DasEi, yes, but what apply to cheese remains availble for, let's say, skype? | 16:06 |
| mrcreativity | ubuntu 10.10 | 16:06 |
| psycho_oreos | also cyoz, you need to also make those directories so use this command: mkdir /media/{big,Audio,Stuff} | 16:07 |
| cyoz | gnaa too much information ;P | 16:07 |
| mrcreativity | anyone? | 16:07 |
| cyoz | so to change fstab I need to type in "gksudo /etc/fstab"? | 16:08 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, that's not the end of it, once you add them in like that, they may no longer appear to nautilus like that as they are a fixed directories (something that udev and nautilus's habit of simplifying things) you might want to create shortcuts to those directories onto your desktop instead | 16:08 |
| Daekdroom | cyoz, gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 16:08 |
| DasEi | patrunjel: you could try setpwc, though I never heard of that vendor, works on some cams, or use a tool like motion (in it's config-file, you find ways to set cam) | 16:08 |
| psycho_oreos | what Daekdroom said I agree cyoz | 16:09 |
| gartral | hello all, i have a configuration question: my internal bluetooth radio starts on when i boot/reboot my computer.. how to i change it so that ubuntu starts with the radio off? | 16:09 |
| cyoz | psycho_oreos, the directionary part is optional though? | 16:09 |
| mrcreativity | nothing? | 16:10 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, of where? /etc/fstab? they are somewhat, you can vary the mount point but you have to create the relevant directories first for mount to mount it into | 16:10 |
| === genger is now known as tyranos | ||
| ashmew2 | mrcreativity : have a look , maybe this would seem like your problem , http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13185 | 16:11 |
| DasEi | zaxonspox: either mount manually or copy the exec to hd, alter there, as cd is readonly | 16:11 |
| Udeqa | mrcreativity, what is the chrome version on 10.10? Same as 10.04? (10.0.648.205 (81283)) | 16:12 |
| cyoz | psycho_oreos, http://i.imgur.com/oCqfy.png | 16:12 |
| DasEi | zaxonspox: manual mount sudo mount -o umask=000 /dev/srX /mount_point | 16:12 |
| cyoz | correct? | 16:12 |
| cyoz | I left out big because it's an external | 16:12 |
| cyoz | works fine the way it is | 16:12 |
| mrcreativity | yes | 16:12 |
| mrcreativity | the same | 16:12 |
| ashmew2 | avinashm: Jbp ? | 16:13 |
| zaxonspox | DasEi, ok, thx, tought, there are some other ways | 16:13 |
| DasEi | zaxonspox: also, can try : sudo mount -o remount,exec /dev/srX | 16:13 |
| zaxonspox | DasEi, thats also good, thx | 16:14 |
| carmine968 | ciao | 16:14 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, yup that should be it, just make sure to create both of those directories {Stuff,Audio} inside /media as well | 16:14 |
| cyoz | can you explain why? | 16:14 |
| Udeqa | mrcreativity, ok. I suspect it to be something with antialiasing, but i can't find anything about it. Does your graphics driver work properly? | 16:14 |
| cyoz | I'll reboot real quick and see what the change did | 16:15 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, mount needs to mount the block devices to a mount point, the mount point basically has to be a directory | 16:15 |
| brontosaurusrex | !chrome | 16:16 |
| DasEi | !chromium | 16:16 |

| cyoz | psycho_oreos, works :) | 16:17 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, I suppose it didn't work as suspected? | 16:17 |
| psycho_oreos | o.O it worked? | 16:17 |
| cyoz | yeah dropbox finds the folder | 16:17 |
| psycho_oreos | and you didn't have to click on the drive icon? nice | 16:17 |
| DasEi | brontosaurusrex: want to install browser ppa ? | 16:17 |
| cyoz | psycho_oreos, nope. it also is displayed as an icon on the desktop right away | 16:18 |
| psycho_oreos | cyoz, well I guess it seems like things have gotten somewhat easier :) | 16:18 |
| cyoz | still feels harder compared to windows to be honest | 16:19 |
| cyoz | but it's hard to say if that's just because I'm used to windows | 16:19 |
| psycho_oreos | there might be a way to use the easier way, but I'll admit I'm just old fashioned, period | 16:19 |
| psycho_oreos | :) | 16:19 |
| ashmew2 | cyoz: dont give up , itll feel new but once you get the hang of it , nothing would feel better , i assure you | 16:19 |

| vanguard | can I hack my DVD drive to region free with ubuntu? (I have a matsushita drive) | 16:21 |
| cyoz | and the font rendering is far better in ubuntu than in windows 7 | 16:22 |
| nbubuntu | hi , using 10.10 I had install an application , when I start it prompt for password and i displaying some file will be modified .I am not sure whether it's safe to let it modified ? any help guys ? Here's the pastebin http://pastebin.com/JvkJ0Y3u Thank you :) | 16:22 |
| phil42 | vanguard: i had thought that all or almost all the linux dvd player software is region free | 16:22 |
| escott | vanguard, apt-get install regionset but be aware this is in hardware. if you plan to switch back and forth it will brick the drive | 16:23 |
| psycho_oreos | nbubuntu, more like the application might require root access because of the files it is trying to modify may belong to root rather than the fact that you can run the app as user I think | 16:24 |
| psycho_oreos | nbubuntu, then again, I'd check to see of /tmp/fuse belongs to root or not. I certainly do not have that directory so I cannot confirm it | 16:25 |
| vanguard | phil42: the drive ignores the disk, has nothing to do with the software | 16:25 |
| vanguard | escott: well, that does not help me either. I have a stack of Region 1 and Region 2 DVDs which I would like to watch | 16:25 |
| vanguard | escott: there are just three changes left … this is all bull :-/ | 16:26 |
| escott | vanguard, some drives (not all) can be set in no-region mode which might allow you to do this | 16:26 |
| phil42 | vanguard: i have heard that you can change the region 5 times | 16:26 |
| === rjr is now known as mrj | ||
| escott | vanguard, or buy a second drive for your region 2 drives | 16:26 |
| phil42 | good idea escott :) | 16:27 |
| vanguard | escott: yeah, thought about that, but that is nonsense too. Can I somehow flash it to region free? | 16:27 |
| escott | vanguard, you are fighting the mpaa here... there is nothing much we can do to help | 16:27 |
| LAcan | escott, btw, PLoP fixed my winload.exe problem from yesterday, if u remember that | 16:28 |
| cyoz | hmmm rythmbox still still rescans my whole library on startup | 16:28 |
| cyoz | is that normal? | 16:28 |
| vanguard | can I somehow tell apt that it does not need to confirm every time when installing/purging something? | 16:28 |

| cyoz | what would be the audio player of choice in ubuntu? | 16:29 |
| vanguard | cyoz: banshee for 11.04, rhythmbox before | 16:29 |
| ouyes | how to remove a package and its configuration file completely so that making the system have never installed that package | 16:29 |
| vanguard | cyoz: I prefer banshee though, has more features than rhythmbox | 16:29 |
| phil42 | i use vlc for everything | 16:29 |
| vanguard | ouyes: sudo apt-get purge package | 16:29 |
| escott | vanguard, see if someone is throwing out an old pc. I've trashed many a DVD drive that way | 16:29 |
| cyoz | I'll try it | 16:29 |
| DasEi | vanguard: -y , like sudo apt-get update -y | 16:29 |
| vanguard | escott: that *would* work if I just did not have this non-upgradable iMac … | 16:30 |
| vanguard | DasEi: danke! | 16:30 |
| escott | LAcan, I've found that ubuntu is making my sys-admin skills rusty, I so seldom have to fix anything anymore... | 16:31 |
| LAcan | lol, ill keep you busy bro! | 16:31 |
| vanguard | I could just do alias "apt-get="apt-get -y" then, right? | 16:31 |
| txetxo | hi, guys. learning to walk with ubuntu, it would not boot from USB properly. I mean it boots up and reaches the screen with the installation options, but will not "Run Ubuntu from this USB", err msg: "/casper/vmlinuz: file not found" | 16:32 |
| cyoz | reddit suggested this player: http://deadbeef.sourceforge.net/download.html | 16:32 |
| cyoz | anybody tried it? | 16:32 |
| mrcreativity | Udeqa, everything else looks fine. its only chrome thats the problem. btw, the problem started after i installed kubuntu over ubuntu | 16:33 |
| vanguard | cyoz: what kind of player do you need anyway? Just a player, or a whole Jukebox (like iTunes)? | 16:33 |
| nbubuntu | psycho_oreos : check on temp/fuse and it's empty on the fuse folder | 16:33 |
| cyoz | I used winamp on windows | 16:33 |
| vanguard | how can I find the make of my dvd drive? | 16:33 |
| vanguard | cyoz: try banshee :) | 16:33 |
| cyoz | so some sort of media library would be nice | 16:33 |
| cyoz | ok | 16:33 |
| LAcan | txetxo, make your life easy and use a bootable CD instead | 16:33 |
| vanguard | txetxo: USB can work, but CD always works :) | 16:34 |
| psycho_oreos | nbubuntu, you meant /tmp, but what about the permissions on /tmp/fuse? | 16:34 |
| nbubuntu | psycho_oreos : without typing the password the application still launch | 16:34 |
| giselle | redcinderella | 16:34 |
| hiexpo | hey ya psycho_oreos | 16:34 |
| metalfan_ | hi | 16:34 |
| metalfan_ | what was the packet one needs to install to create a desktop installation from the server cd? | 16:35 |
| nbubuntu | psycho_oreos : /tmp/fuse folder is empty | 16:35 |
| txetxo | yes man, but is a shame I cannot boot up from a USB and run it from there… btw, it is VERY hard to boot from CD either, only some distros had booted up properly and Ubuntu is not one of them :( | 16:35 |
| doncams | hey... how can I edit desktop effects? is there a UI that I can install for that? | 16:35 |
| doncams | just like in linux mint | 16:35 |
| Udeqa | mrcreativity, so you are running KDE? | 16:35 |
| LAcan | txetxo, what kinda PC is this?? | 16:35 |
| psycho_oreos | hiexpo, hey, nice to see you in here :) | 16:35 |
| txetxo | Sony VAIO VGN FE-31Z laptop | 16:36 |
| psycho_oreos | nbubuntu, I'm not saying if its empty or not, or does the directory exist? If it does, check to see who owns that directory or just tell me that there's no such directory :) | 16:36 |
| rjgonza | hey got a suspend issue | 16:36 |
| escott | doncams, do you mean ccms from compizconfig-settings-manager | 16:37 |
| doncams | i don't know. you tell me. i'm new :) | 16:37 |
| ouyes | I have to reinstall ubuntu, but before that I want to backup my firefox bookmarks do you know how to do this? | 16:38 |
| escott | doncams, not sure what you mean by desktop effects, but if you mean the wall/expose/cube then sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 16:38 |
| doncams | yep. that's the one | 16:38 |
| doncams | thanks :) | 16:38 |
| rjgonza | when i try to sleep/hibernate my pc it fails to do so, how can i determine which device is not letting it sleep/hibernate? | 16:38 |
| aeon-ltd | ouyes: bookamrk manager, export bookmarks | 16:38 |
| psycho_oreos | nbubuntu, If the directory /tmp/fuse doesn't exist in the first place you would have gotten this message: ls: cannot access /tmp/fuse: No such file or directory | 16:38 |
| ouyes | aeon-ltd, but where is the bookmark manager? | 16:39 |
| LAcan | doncams, you can do it under either preferences or administration on Ubuntu 10.10 | 16:39 |
| aeon-ltd | ouyes: organize bookmarks --> import and backup --> export html | 16:39 |
| nbubuntu | psycho_oreos : there a directory exist , drwxr-xr-x | 16:40 |
| aeon-ltd | ouyes: from the bookmarks on the menu bar | 16:40 |
| txetxo | LAcan, is a Sony VAIO VGN FE-31Z laptop. It is not that old, but always gave me a headaches :) | 16:41 |
| psycho_oreos | nbubuntu, yes so that directory exist, now see who owns that directory, it will tell you in the next two columns, first column from that output would be the UID and then it would be followed by GID | 16:41 |
| doncams | ok thanks | 16:41 |
| mrcreativity | kde and gnome | 16:41 |
| nbubuntu | psycho_oreos : there is also an application .domain at the /tmp/ srwxr-xr-x | 16:41 |
| Udeqa | so after you installed KDE, it also started affecting GNOME.. | 16:41 |
| psycho_oreos | nbubuntu, ok, pastebin (not paste) the output of the command: ls -al /tmp | 16:42 |
| ouyes | aeon-ltd, thanks very much | 16:44 |

| pyrofallout | register Bs4UNK%=+9 /msg nickserv info | 16:45 |
| pyrofallout | dur. ignore that. good thing i use random passwords :-) | 16:46 |
| psycho_oreos | nbubuntu, seems like /tmp/fuse is owned by you, yet I don't see why the application would say that it would be modifying critical parts of the system.. Again I'm still presuming the parent directory belongs to root, hence that warning. I'm presuming it should be safe to ignore the warning | 16:46 |
| nbubuntu | psycho_oreos : oh , thanks , feeling weird it required a password prompt when running the application . Just wanted to make sure whether it's safe .Seems like it's safe , even I didn't input the password , the application still launch and run . | 16:48 |
| psycho_oreos | nbubuntu, yeah the program will still run, the program will simply be denied access to modifying those files because /tmp is owned by root basically even though /tmp/fuse is owned by you. Though I don't know what sort of restrictions would that impose, at worse it may cause stale mounts | 16:49 |
| LAcan | txetxo, oh yes, a Sony. I know exactly what you mean I had a VAOI laptop. never again, those machines are rootkitted and cant be properly booted | 16:51 |

| txetxo | Yes, LAcan, that's why I wanted ask you guys for advice. I thought I was doing it wrong :) | 16:52 |
| TopGear | And the YouTube screen thing, the flash player, just takes over a bit of the site | 16:52 |
| LAcan | txetxo, nah, Sony's doing it wrong :) | 16:52 |
| abhijeet | TopGear, is the happening with all the browser.. bcuz recently I am facing some issue with the Firefox 4 and Flash | 16:53 |
| hiexpo | psycho_oreos, tried installing the 2.6.38-5 kernal in 10.04 but getting nvidia error so i tried reinstalling the nvidia common but no luck :( | 16:53 |
| TopGear | abhijeet, so it's some kind of feakin' annoyin' bug? | 16:53 |
| psycho_oreos | hiexpo, nvidia error? that might be caused by dkms | 16:53 |
| abhijeet | TopGear, maybe with the Firefox.. bcuz same file works fine with opera and chome | 16:54 |
| LAcan | hiexpo, you have to enable third party commercial sofwtare to load the nvidia drivers | 16:54 |
| hiexpo | psycho_oreos, yes maybe tells me nvidia failed to reinstall | 16:54 |
| TopGear | abhijeet, It ain't no file, it's just the flashplayer of youtube. | 16:54 |
| tiina | Hej | 16:54 |
| abhijeet | TopGear, yeah I mean the link ... | 16:54 |
| hiexpo | LAcan, i know the ppa's | 16:54 |
| TopGear | okey | 16:54 |
| abhijeet | TopGear, did u tried other browsers | 16:55 |
| TopGear | yeah | 16:55 |
| TopGear | But i'll use my NAS then | 16:55 |
| nbubuntu | psycho_oreos : tested again , application still launch but some function not working . hm.. .will inspect it again | 16:55 |
| LAcan | hiexpo, no, more than PPAs, you have to go to "Additional Drivers" in your panel there | 16:55 |

| xangua | tiina: download the iso from ubuntu.com | 16:55 |
| tiina | I did but it wasnt right done | 16:56 |

| LAcan | rjgonza, why would you want to do that? | 16:56 |
| psycho_oreos | hiexpo, weird, I'd say its something to do with dkms, check debug logs if any or you may need to temporarily remove nvidia package before forcing to install kernel | 16:56 |
| rjgonza | LAcan, it is preventing my pc from hibernating/sleeping | 16:56 |

| escott | rjgonza, LAcan I would open the case and disconnect the cord :) | 16:58 |
| LAcan | lol | 16:58 |
| escott | rjgonza, unless this is a laptop... in which case I'm not sure if you can selectively disable a USB device. I'm sure you can but i've never done it | 16:58 |
| rjgonza | escott, yea, I dont really want to power it down, but that is going to be the next step. This is also sort of a shot in the dark | 16:58 |

| r41 | hi there, i try to transcode a file to mpeg4 "simple codec" using ffmpeg... but i cant indicate the profile "simple codec" anywhere | 17:00 |
| ututu | tiina, use the startup creator and boot from USB | 17:00 |
| rjgonza | escott, thanks | 17:00 |
| TopGear | abhijeet: I'll do you a screenshot | 17:01 |
| Lacan | tiina, are you on windows now? | 17:01 |
| escott | tiina, you may also want to check that you downloaded the file completely and correctly with md5sum or sha1sum | 17:01 |
| r41 | ah well its called "simple profile" not "simple codec" | 17:01 |
| terry | tiina: escott probably has best advise. Do as he said. | 17:01 |
| TopGear | terry, there is no update (Flash x64 Ubuntu 10.10) | 17:01 |
| * Lacan nods at terry | 17:01 | |
| xangua | TopGear: you can install the 64bit flash plugin instead | 17:02 |
| hiexpo | psycho_oreos, nvidia currrent i mean | 17:02 |
| xangua | https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash | 17:02 |
| terry | TopGear: Oh, so you have a 64bit system. Right? | 17:02 |
| xangua | with the ppa above TopGear | 17:02 |
| escott | r41, what do you mean simple codec (is that a codec?) | 17:02 |
| tiina | ok I 'll try again but I have aleady burned 10 bad cds and one usb stick dosent functioing | 17:02 |
| TopGear | xangua: How? I think I did that already. | 17:02 |
| Lacan | hiexpo, did you find the drivers listed in Additional Hardware? | 17:02 |
| TopGear | terry: yeah, right | 17:02 |
| r41 | escott sorry i meant mpeg4 "simple profile" | 17:02 |
| wildc4rd | afternoon all | 17:02 |
| hiexpo | Lacan, yes and i have them already installed > harware drivers | 17:03 |
| terry | TopGear: And you have, in-fact, installed the 64bit Adobe Flashplayer? | 17:03 |

| Ivan96485 | Hello, what is the meaning of the "-o" | 17:03 |
| phil42 | prower: i have been using that version without problem (on 64 bit maverick) | 17:03 |
| TopGear | terry: yes | 17:03 |
| psycho_oreos | hiexpo, hmm I'd still temporarily remove the package, the package will need to be reinstalled anyway, possibly will automatically call dkms to generate a kernel module suited to the running kernel | 17:03 |
| jrib | Ivan96485: you need to provide context. | 17:03 |
| terry | TopGear: How long ago? | 17:03 |
| Ivan96485 | What is the meaning of the "-o" command? | 17:03 |
| Ivan96485 | Here is the command: wget http://www.gpu3.hostei.com/wrapper2ndgen/2.1/cudart.dll.so -O ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/cudart.dll | 17:03 |
| acnot | sudo apt-get moo | 17:03 |
| TopGear | terry: eeh, 2 days after release 1010 | 17:03 |
| escott | r41, not sure what a simple profile is but I've gotten mpeg4 just by setting the output to video.mp4 | 17:03 |
| TopGear | acnot: lol :p | 17:03 |
| prower | phil42, strange...i don't know what's happened in my case then, the previous version worked just fine but tweaking all the options i can think of in this version doesn't seem to make a difference | 17:04 |
| jrib | Ivan96485: if you read « man wget » it will describe all of the options. "-O" (capital) tells wget where to save the output | 17:04 |
| Pici | Ivan96485: The -O switch to wget specifies where the local destination to the downloaded file will be. see man wget for details. | 17:04 |
| hiexpo | psycho_oreos, so that is what i am asking the nvidia current package | 17:04 |
| escott | Ivan96485, output file (where it writes the data) | 17:04 |
| Ivan96485 | Thanks | 17:04 |
| escott | Ivan96485, man wget for these questions | 17:04 |
| terry | TopGear: I would just do it again and see. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ | 17:05 |
| r41 | escott i specified the codec by "-vcodec mpeg4" parameter, but i need to pass the profile as well.... | 17:05 |
| Lacan | hiexpo, activate the current or recommended one, not the new one | 17:05 |
| Lacan | (173?) | 17:05 |
| psycho_oreos | hiexpo, I believe nvidia-current package conflicts with kernel, most likely because of the stuff contained, probably something to do with package states | 17:06 |
| hiexpo | Lacan, i am currently using the current 195 | 17:06 |
| terry | TopGear: There have been updates without announcements. There have been numerous problems with the Adobe flash player plugin. | 17:06 |
| TopGear | terry, great *_* updates here /me comes! | 17:06 |
| illmortal | Anyone know of a mediaserver for Ubuntu? One that is pretty much compatible with SONY PS3? | 17:07 |
| Lacan | hiexpo, and is it activated or enabled? | 17:07 |
| TopGear | eh, the x64 flash is a .tar.gz only... not a deb | 17:07 |
| hiexpo | Lacan, enabled | 17:07 |
| illmortal | Oh wait.. XBMC is for linux now o.o; | 17:07 |
| Lacan | hiexpo, ok, so whats the problem? | 17:08 |
| hiexpo | Lacan, ok when i install th 2.6.38-5 kernal i get nvidia failed to reinstall so i tried also reinstalling the nvidia current but same thing | 17:09 |
| Lacan | hiexpo, then i suspect that you are not allowing the new kernel to use third party commercial software, but im a newb and cant help you with that | 17:10 |

I ran a smart test against the drive 2 longs and a short and they completed succesfully. However, this morning, when I boot I hit a *bunch* of errors to a point where when I boot, it'll get to a random point in the boot process before crapping out. Sometimes I get to an ash shell, sometimes I get to grub | 17:32 |
| mr-rich | any totem help? | 17:33 |
| conrad_ | escott helped me with my git question, he's the best! | 17:33 |
| DasEi | wcchandler: try a fsck from a live cd | 17:33 |
| wcchandler | DasEi: many, many errors (around 12,000) | 17:34 |
| escott | wcchandler, then your filesystem is fscked :( | 17:34 |
| DasEi | wcchandler: you can skip the keypresses | 17:35 |
| compdoc | I hear lots of ppl saying their ssd is borked | 17:35 |
| wcchandler | sorry, keypresses? | 17:35 |
| escott | wcchandler, there is an option (man fsck) to allow you to say yes to all questions | 17:35 |
| wcchandler | compdoc: this is one of two, the other is in a laptop and has been perfect | 17:36 |
| DasEi | wcchandler: if you manually run fsck/e2fsck, each error will be prompted by you, err 12,000, that for.. | 17:36 |
| deostroll | hi has anyone tried using the sun weblog publisher? http://bit.ly/hl3L8C was it successful for anyone? | 17:36 |
| wcchandler | escott: if I tell it to fix all errors, would it flag each area as a bad block and not use it? ala windows checkdisk | 17:36 |
| escott | wcchandler, fsck -y | 17:36 |
| compdoc | wcchandler, think its something to do with the older computer hardware/controller? | 17:37 |
| escott | wcchandler, depends on the filesystem. it may put the blocks in lost+found. it may dump them | 17:37 |
| DasEi | wcchandler: idk what is wrong with your disk, i'd guess inodes messed up, they get re-set than | 17:37 |
| DasEi | then* | 17:37 |
| deostroll | does openoffice have an irc channel? | 17:38 |
| wcchandler | I'm using ext4, I hadn't setup anything fancy in the fstab if that helps... but alright. I'll try fsck -y | 17:38 |
| LAcan | wcchandler, i also have solid state drives and in my first few ubuntu boots it would do a 'errors found' check for wrrors but that went away | 17:38 |
| DasEi | wcchandler: make sure drive is NOT mounted | 17:38 |
| LAcan | wcchandler, these may be false positives based on the speed of the drives, thats a windows issue sometimes... | 17:39 |

| Chronotek | oCean: the swap is what I first suspected, Will look into that aswell, thank you | 17:54 |
| jpastore | so I'm booting of of a live usb install. running out of space because casper-rw partition was created using fat32. read how to fix but, is there is something I can do while synaptic is running to clear out old packages in cache? | 17:55 |
| escott | Chronotek, is the freeze in the graphics or the application? does the cursor still move? do the applications get grayed out? | 17:55 |
| escott | Chronotek, if the cursor isn't moving ignore everything I said :) | 17:55 |
| MK`` | Ubuntu is suddenly not recognizing blank CDs I put in my drive properly :( When I put it in the kernel says "cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!" | 17:56 |
| Chronotek | escott : cursor still moved, but applications gray out and input commands gets queued | 17:56 |
| jpastore | escott, thanks for the help last night. I booted into windows and copied the vmlinuz off of the live usb to another accessible drive, booted the liveusb, and copied it back and fglrx was able to install correctly | 17:56 |
| escott | jpastore, you can safely delete some files in /var/*/cache/, glad to hear last night went well | 17:57 |
| jpastore | escott, how do I know what's safe while synaptic is running? | 17:57 |
| escott | Chronotek, doubt its the video card. play around with the swapiness, and maybe eatmydata. the swapiness is the first thing I would try | 17:57 |
| Chronotek | already printing the data from oCean's link to check them :D | 17:58 |
| escott | jpastore, if synaptic can't find a deb it downloaded its just going to redownload. you could also do apt-get clean | 17:58 |
| Chronotek | thanks alot everyone, I will be gone for a while to try to solve the issue now | 17:58 |

| jpastore | escott, I thought I could get away with using tmpwatch but it's not installed yet. | 17:59 |
| IamTrying | I download this http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download (big button). And i am trying in VirtualBox, while installing its asking Allocate drive space "Erase and use the entire disk" or Specify partitions mannually, well i just want to keep using it in VirtualBox | 18:00 |

| appi_uppi | hi, I'm trying to use minitube. But it seems that the plugin is missing everytime while trying to play videos, please let me know how to fix this? | 18:01 |
| LAcan | IamTrying, | 18:01 |
| metalfan_ | hi | 18:02 |
| Acid190 | Anyone try that pardus distro yet? | 18:02 |
| LAcan | IamTrying, do you know how to create partitions? | 18:02 |
| escott | IamTrying, it shouldn't. the disk it sees should be the virtual disk. confirm by checking the size | 18:02 |
| metalfan_ | what package do i need to install to make a server installation into a full blown desktop install? | 18:02 |
| jpastore | how much do I lose by encrypting the users home dir? | 18:02 |
| appi_uppi | hi, I'm trying to use minitube. But it seems that the plugin is missing everytime while trying to play videos, please let me know how to fix this? | 18:02 |
| IamTrying | LAcan, escott can i not allow "erase and use the entire disk" but i am afraid it wont takeover my root OS. | 18:03 |

| navneeth | IamTrying, it shouldn't. (There's a reason why some people use Virtualbox to test drives OSs ;-) ) | 18:03 |
| metalfan_ | juk, thx | 18:03 |
| navneeth | Also, have this link as a reference http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox | 18:03 |

| jpastore | escott, is there a multiplier so I can calculate? and also can I disable or once encrypted that's it? | 18:03 |
| escott | IamTrying, you are installing under virtualbox. so you had to create a virtualbox fake disk which should be smaller than your real disk. you should be able to pass that disk to ubuntu and let it do whatever it wants | 18:03 |
| zenrox | i have a question i am trying to get my memory card mounted as swap(allready formated as swap) i am useing natty | 18:04 |

| frenzarectah | hi,my acer aspire one netbook with ubuntu 10.10 sometimes shut down or reboot automatically...what could be the problem? how i can resolv it? | 18:04 |
| jpastore | I think I'm going to wipe this liveusb and try again /sigh... | 18:04 |
| jpastore | thanks everyone for their help. | 18:04 |
| Jordan_U | zenrox: #ubuntu+1 for naty | 18:05 |
| escott | jpastore, once encrypted you can disable, but not without copying everything first (basically the real home is .cryptfs folder in ~/ and it is decyrpted and loop mounted back on top of /home. To disable you decrypt and copy the decrypted data into ~/ | 18:05 |
| rusty149 | zenrox: add it to fstab or use swapon or use Gparted | 18:05 |
| Karen_m | my box is swapping, yet top does not show any PID with a lot of ram. Is there a way to see which app is causing the swap? | 18:05 |
| frenzarectah | hi,my acer aspire one netbook with ubuntu 10.10 sometimes shut down or reboot automatically...what could be the problem? how i can resolv it? | 18:06 |
| LAcan | escott, i hope you know what you're talking about with his virtual partition, otherwise hes nuking his netbook OS | 18:06 |
| IamTrying | escott, thanks, but in the VirtualBox while installing it does not allow me to use "Switch to seamless mode" | 18:06 |
| rusty149 | Karen_m: Use > button to order top by memory | 18:06 |
| Karen_m | frenzarectah, stop watching videos on the acer. It doesn't matter in windows or ubuntu, if you watch videos the machine will overheat and shutoff. I have the same laptop and it does the samething. it's fine if i don't watch videos :) | 18:06 |
| hiexpo | psycho_oreos, i got it rockin :) | 18:07 |
| juk | frenzarectah: can you check logs under /var/log for somthin suspicious | 18:07 |
| Karen_m | rusty149, I have.. . most ram used is 1GB out of 4.. and the rest doesn't really add up to more than 4G | 18:07 |
| LAcan | Karen_m, that sounds like a crappy computer. Acer netbooks you say? | 18:07 |
| oCean | Karen_m: you can add column swapped size in top: once top is running, hit f, choose p (swap) and hit enter | 18:07 |
| escott | LAcan, IamTrying if the physical disk ubuntu sees is smaller than your physical disk in the PC then you can't break the working system | 18:07 |
| escott | IamTrying, not sure what seamless mode means | 18:08 |
| IamTrying | escott, thanks, seamless mode is like running operating systems side by side, just like drag and drop. | 18:08 |
| Pici | IamTrying: That usually requires that you install the guest tools, which can't be done in the Ubuntu installer. #vbox may be of more help | 18:08 |
| mali | escott: seamless in VM (vbox) means the background goes invisible in guest, and the windows will be able to move around in the parent (host) window frame | 18:09 |
| hypetech | Does anybody know any reason why an ubuntu server would suddenly stop allowing outgoing connections, but still allows incoming connections to all its services? | 18:09 |
| mali | I don't know if you can move it on to othe rmonitors but | 18:09 |
| brontosaurusrex | IamTrying, seamless mode is usually windows mode, instead of screen mode of some sort | 18:09 |
| mali | hypetech: yes: firewall rules | 18:09 |
| mali | either on your router or iptables say | 18:09 |
| hypetech | mali: I removed iptables, and nothing in front of the server is blocking | 18:10 |

| escott | frenzarectah, any system manager will tell you the top users, also install sensors applications | 18:13 |
| frenzarectah | i use my netbook only for facebook,youtube and c programming | 18:13 |

| kochanka | nice | 18:13 |
| LAcan | frenzarectah, if it only reboots during playing videos then... | 18:13 |
| Karen_m | LAcan, yes.. acer is terrible. Do not ever purchase it .. you think you'll save money but they have heating problems. Everyone I have ever met withh an acer that is over a year 1/2 old is running their acer with a laptop cooler | 18:14 |
| frenzarectah | no,it reboot without a sistematic operation | 18:14 |
| escott | IamTrying, after you install ubuntu you can install the guest tools, then ubuntu will pass drawing and files back to windows so that the two systems will be integrated | 18:14 |
| Karen_m | frenzarectah, you need a laptop cooler, and it won't reboot as much | 18:14 |
| LAcan | Karen_m, good to know. I feel the same way about Sony's. This alienware I'm on however, is awesome. | 18:14 |
| IamTrying | escott, cool thats what i wanted thanks a lot | 18:14 |
| MK`` | Ubuntu is suddenly not recognizing blank CDs I put in my drive properly :( When I put it in the kernel says "cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!" | 18:14 |
| LAcan | MK``, thats normal for a blank CD | 18:15 |
| Karen_m | alienware is $,$$$ tho | 18:15 |
| frenzarectah | but i don't think that i use my pc over it's limits.... | 18:15 |
| frenzarectah | it's strange | 18:15 |
| MK`` | LAcan: ok, so that's not the error then ^^ But when I look at the disk utility it only says the disk has 2 kb free (1 sector) | 18:15 |
| LAcan | Karen_m, ya it is expensive but... i like to spend $4000 every 5 years instead of $2000 every 2 years | 18:15 |
| escott | frenzarectah, +1 to Karen_m's assessment. My old Acer would heat up and then lights out. install sensors, set the cpu to a more conservative setting | 18:16 |
| LAcan | MK``, ur trying to burn a CD? | 18:16 |
| MK`` | Yes LAcan, I burned several when suddenly it started acting like this | 18:16 |
| Acid190 | LAcan: you seen the HP 8740w? take a look if not:) | 18:16 |
| LAcan | MK``, u bruned thm via drag and drop or via burning sofwtare? | 18:16 |
| MK`` | LAcan: burning software; the software now when I try says the disk doesn't have enough space | 18:17 |
| LAcan | Acid190, looks sweet... whats the cost for 8GB + Solid state? | 18:17 |
| PassePartouT2 | anyone want to help a noob setup his nvidia 6600gt? | 18:17 |
| PassePartouT2 | i've downloaded the latest drivers from nvidia but i just dont understand how to install them (yet), they're in my downloads folder | 18:18 |
| TimR | PassePartouT2: Just go to System > Additional drivers and install the driver from there | 18:20 |
| escott | PassePartouT2, try installing them through the restricted software | 18:20 |
| LAcan | PassePartouT2, do what timr says | 18:20 |
| TimR | No need to download them from nvidia's site | 18:20 |
| grhowl | Go to downloads folder sudo sh ./Nvidiaxxxx.run | 18:21 |
| r41 | escott btw i found a way to enable single profile, here the command ( -xvidencopts profile=sp3 did the trick) mencoder in.avi -ovc xvid -xvidencopts profile=sp3:bitrate=64 -ofps 15 -vf scale=320:240 -oac copy -o in.av | 18:21 |
| PassePartouT2 | yeah i just dont know the file structure enough to navigate it, only used this once before a year or two ago | 18:21 |
| LAcan | Acid190, thats a damn fine PC... ill have to consider it next time around... u have one? cuz im paranoid about over heating | 18:21 |
| talas | [SPAM] If you want some more games on linux you know what to do: http://feedback.unity3d.com/forums/15792-unity | 18:21 |
| PassePartouT2 | i'll try the 173 version and see how that goes, i presume it's the newest | 18:21 |

| oCean | !guidelines | LAcan please have a read at our channel's guidelines | 18:22 |
| ubottu | LAcan please have a read at our channel's guidelines: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 18:22 |
| escott | PassePartouT2, is there a reason you don't want to use the gui to install? | 18:22 |
| PassePartouT2 | no, i'm using it now | 18:23 |
| grhowl | Nope | 18:23 |
| escott | PassePartouT2, if you don't use the gui you risk having a broken system every time you do a kernel upgrade | 18:23 |
| LAcan | oCean, so no one can come in here and ask "What's a good PC for running ubuntu?" doubt it. | 18:23 |
| PassePartouT2 | just used to downloading and installing so i went that way, it's the way i did it last time for whatever reason | 18:23 |
| PassePartouT2 | but yeah, i'm dl'ing through the gui now | 18:23 |
| escott | PassePartouT2, the hardest thing to learn with ubuntu for me was to NOT do things the manual way, but let the system do it the right way | 18:24 |
| * LAcan nods at escott | 18:24 | |
| PassePartouT2 | fair enough | 18:24 |
| LAcan | is 11.04 going to be more nvidia friendly by any chance? or is it cuz the drivers are closed that there are so many issues? | 18:24 |

| BladeFreak | is the www.ubuntu.com website down? Because all I see is a OK in the top-left corner on a blank page, the sub pages are fine though | 18:25 |
| talas | LAcan: will probably depend on how the nvidia dirver plays with the x.org version used in 11.04 | 18:25 |
| LjL | theTank: that's a better question for #freenode, but /mode #channel -b mask | 18:25 |

| LAcan | patrunjel, alternately, at the bottom of synaptics there will be grey text that says "show technical something something". click that | 18:34 |
| patrunjel | rusty149, yep :) | 18:34 |
| tensorpudding | jiltdil: i guess if you don't want to have all the stuff you have installed anymore, and your personal files are backed up, it might make sense to reinstall | 18:34 |
| rusty149 | patrunjel: check your security sources are enabled and run apt-get update | 18:34 |
| escott | flaritycat, do you have some no-standard plugin you want to make globally available. i you do that then users will not be able to upgrade without your help | 18:34 |

| escott | PassePartouT2, yes delete any Xorg.conf you created in /etc/xorg | 18:39 |
| patrunjel | guys, how can I find what wifi connections I have on my PC? (like ath0 ) | 18:39 |
| escott | flaritycat, ? you have to if it is in your own folder | 18:39 |
| flaritycat | you mean /usr/lib now right_ | 18:40 |
| escott | PassePartouT2, if you have another system you could ftp/ssh your Xorg.0.log file to that system and pastebin from there | 18:40 |
| _Neytiri_ | is there a way to restrict root login from ssh to JUST 1 ip address | 18:40 |
| aaron__ | ????????????? | 18:40 |
| escott | PassePartouT2, but first remove your Xorg.conf | 18:40 |
| PassePartouT2 | yeah this is out of my league for today i think | 18:40 |
| oCean | aaron__: please don't do that | 18:40 |
| PassePartouT2 | i know about as much as dir and cd | 18:40 |
| rusty149 | patrunjel: iwconfig | 18:40 |
| deschamps | jo | 18:40 |
| PassePartouT2 | no idea where the xconf file is, i know it's ...../x11/___ something | 18:41 |
| PassePartouT2 | but no idea | 18:41 |
| PassePartouT2 | lol | 18:41 |
| escott | PassePartouT2, cd /etc/X11/ | 18:41 |
| Diamondcite | PassePartouT2: Probably /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:41 |
| patrunjel | rusty149, thanks a lot :) | 18:41 |
| abstrakt | what should I use for like outlining and charts and stuff? | 18:41 |
| grhowl | Paasepartout: what does the command startx do? | 18:41 |
| Acid190 | would sudo apt-get remove -- purge xserver-xorg, (something like that) work? | 18:42 |
| LAcan | abdelrahman, OpenOffice drawing | 18:42 |
| abstrakt | like so I can make a little bubble and then drag arrows to other bubbles and drag the bubbles around and keep them attached | 18:42 |
| djamel | _Neytiri_ i think it's in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys | 18:42 |
| LAcan | abstrakt, , OpenOffice drawing | 18:42 |
| escott | _Neytiri_, probably in your /etc/ssh/ssh_config but allowing access from an ip is weird, what if the router changes the ip addresses use authorized keys | 18:42 |
| abstrakt | LAcan, oh really? hmm, and it'll keep the lines attached to the bubbles like that? | 18:42 |
| _Neytiri_ | i have static ip's | 18:42 |
| abstrakt | when you drag the bubbles? | 18:42 |
| escott | abstrakt, there is also a gnome diagram editor | 18:42 |
| _Neytiri_ | sho the ip changing isnt a issue | 18:42 |
| LAcan | abstrakt, I've nevr used it but it is like Visio for Linux, so I'm guessing yes. | 18:43 |
| rusty149 | _Neytiri_: I agree, managing it with keys is a better solution | 18:43 |
| Ivan96485 | Does anyone know how to get folding@home working on ubuntu 10.10? | 18:43 |
| terry | PassePartouT2: You may need to run sudo nvidia-xconfig | 18:43 |
| terry | PassePartouT2: But it is possible you could have installed the wrong driver for your display adapter. | 18:44 |
| tsimpson | Ivan96485: install bonic and boinc-app-seti | 18:44 |
| Ivan96485 | tsimpson: Why seti? | 18:44 |

| _Neytiri_ | is there a tutorial on how to do it with keys | 18:45 |
| ooxi | hi i have a problem with my network adapter. i installed a new network card into my system (ubuntu 8.04) and now ifconfig doesn't show it but lspci does | 18:45 |

| === PassePartouT2 is now known as PPT`W7 | ||

| escott | PPT`W7, see what glxinfo tells you | 18:45 |
| tsimpson | Ivan96485: sorry, not that package, just bonic and use the GUI to add the folding app | 18:45 |
| ooxi | the correct drivers (e1000 + e1000e) are also loaded :-( | 18:45 |
| aaron__ | oCean, sorry, just tryin to get some help | 18:45 |
| patrunjel | when I type iwconfig my wireless card doesn't appear, but i'm sure i have one... how can I make it appear? :) (now this sounds lame... ) | 18:45 |
| escott | PPT`W7, if nvidia drivers are working then backup the Xorg.conf and then try to configure the second monitor | 18:45 |
| ooxi | rly but i have another server running ubuntu 8.04 with the same nic :-( | 18:46 |
| === superman is now known as Guest99997 | ||
| ooxi | is there a way to tell udev to reenumerate the devices or something? | 18:46 |
| LAcan | has anyone used opensync before? | 18:46 |
| djamel | _Neytiri_ anyway logging in ssh with root is bad, better log in with user then sudo | 18:46 |
| xanderz | join hack | 18:47 |
| rly | ooxi: it is still supported (until 12th of May). | 18:47 |
| rly | ooxi: on the server somewhat longer, still, what is the point of running old software? | 18:47 |
| _Neytiri_ | djamel problem is i have to have it enabled or i ant gonna be abel to manage my system from the hosters control pannel | 18:47 |
| ooxi | rly, you are right, i'm running the server edition. the point is that a software running on that server needs zend optimizer and that only works together with php 5.2 which has a native package only on 8.04 (and 8.10 which is already eol afaik) | 18:48 |
| patrunjel | when I type iwconfig my wireless card doesn't appear, but i'm sure i have one... how can I make it appear? :) (now this sounds lame... ) can someone please help me? :) (I guess I should install some drivers/patches)..please :) | 18:48 |
| edbian | patrunjel: does the device show in in sudo lspci -k ? | 18:48 |
| flaritycat | escott: Thanks for the help , though got it working by using command mv with sudo su. | 18:49 |
| djamel | _Neytiri_ ?? | 18:49 |
| patrunjel | edbian, yes it does Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) | 18:50 |
| edbian | patrunjel: We need to install the firmware. Are you connected to the Internet some other way? | 18:50 |

| makaveli0129 | question if i want to run a command at start up for instance logkeys -- start or something like that where would i add this line to? | 18:51 |
| Guest99997 | patrunjel, | 18:52 |
| ooxi | so, there is no way to tell udev to reenumerate the devices? a reboot didn't fix that my network card isn't detected :/ | 18:52 |
| edbian | makaveli0129: System -> preferences -> startup apps | 18:52 |
| makaveli0129 | edbian: than just type the command? | 18:52 |
| patrunjel | edbian, i have done what you said, but i get an error http://pastebin.com/6TcFfvV7 | 18:52 |

| escott | HappyPelican, most backup systems are based on rsync | 18:54 |
| patrunjel | edbian, it's ok like this? :) should i run iwconfig? | 18:54 |
| HappyPelican | escott: I see | 18:54 |
| edbian | patrunjel: try this: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer | 18:54 |
| patrunjel | edbian, nope, still, only the wlan looks active | 18:54 |
| patrunjel | edbian, ok :) | 18:54 |
| edbian | patrunjel: It is not working yet. The error basically said 'no' | 18:54 |
| escott | HappyPelican, there are guis, but I think most people end up writing their own script and adding it to cron | 18:55 |
| edbian | patrunjel: the wireless lan looks active? | 18:55 |
| tudalex | b43 is for the broadcom drivers? | 18:55 |
| edbian | tudalex: it's for broadcom bcm43XX drivers yes | 18:55 |
| HappyPelican | escott: yeah, I might do that | 18:55 |
| escott | HappyPelican, pm me and I can show you some example commands | 18:55 |
| HappyPelican | seems simpler | 18:55 |
| tudalex | the best way that worked for me all the times was with the wrapper for the windows drivers, never failed | 18:55 |

| edbian | patrunjel: I didn't learn by reading books so I'm not a good person to ask. I learned by messing around with it. | 19:08 |
| escott | PassePartouT2, do you mean you want the maximization behavior to change | 19:08 |
| DasEi | PassePartouT2: so you want seperate x-screen | 19:08 |
| escott | PassePartouT2, so that maximize only maximizes to a single screen | 19:09 |
| patrunjel | edbian, so i guess you have been through a lot of reinstalls, huh? :p | 19:09 |
| PassePartouT2 | yeah, i want them to show two desktops and not just span on one desktop | 19:09 |
| PassePartouT2 | desktop = workspace | 19:09 |
| edbian | patrunjel: Actually no. Just 1. It is very rare that you actually need to reinstall. In fact you will learn a lot more by fixing the machine (although it is more frustrating and time consuming) | 19:09 |
| De|ta | anyone? am connecting from my laptop running 10.10 - really annoying lag level! | 19:10 |

| patrunjel | edbian, computer science is related to programming, or the low-level part of computers? | 19:11 |
| escott | andy12345, no just trying to understand what exactly the problem is. is the proxy blocking ftp or filter http? | 19:11 |
| andy12345 | escott, its working partially though, sometimes it gives errors, so it doesn't update completely, also whenever I use the software manager to get something, its restarts after sometime automatically, like after 5 MB is done goes back to 0%, my wifi gives me usually 2 MBps on win, on ubuntu I haven't seen it ccross 100KBps, why is that? I am able to use firefox with the proxy flawlessly. | 19:12 |
| edbian | patrunjel: It has to do with programming. low-level is considered computer engineering (making circuits) | 19:12 |
| andy12345 | escott, those are more problem, and I am not sure if its blocking or anything, but it seems that after a certain data transfer limit via update manager (I even tried via terminal) its RESTARTS | 19:12 |
| De|ta | you need to have a good grounding in the hardware side of things though, makes you a better programmer | 19:13 |
| escott | andy12345, so you think your proxy is detecting your traffic and choking your connection? | 19:13 |
| escott | andy12345, what kind of proxy is this corporate? personal? | 19:13 |
| andy12345 | escott, sorry english is not my native language, define choking? do you mean throttling? and its educational, I really don't know what the difference between corp and personal, but maybe its corporate? | 19:14 |
| De|ta | choking / strangling / restricting | 19:14 |
| escott | andy12345, so you are connecting through your university and when using update-manager your connection drops out | 19:14 |

| andy12345 | escott, well it doesn't drop out, you see I am still chatting with you but my downloads (via software manager) restart after a certain limit, via update manager its kinda stops after sometime, via terminal it goes on to the next update pacakage and shows error like this "Err http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security/main libpam-modules amd64 1.1.1-4ubuntu2 Bad header line" | 19:17 |

| demoth | rly: camera is integrated, i suppose it should be connected to usb | 19:19 |
| _Neytiri_ | like if i have a drop for a specific ip address and there is a allow rule for port 80 and the allow rule is above the drop will it be blocked? | 19:19 |

| usr_ | is there any way to flush ram memory? | 20:40 |
| youmee | guys.... I use GParted to move partition to left (I have 320GB HDD, with 2 ntfs partitions with data and 2 unallocated 30Gbs spaces) | 20:40 |

| virgo | is it possible to make custom keyboard layout with ubuntu? | 20:41 |
| youmee | but on this operation it causes some error and now my partitions looks like ext3 ... | 20:41 |
| luckysmack | when using vlc and selecting full screen, it spans across both my displays. is there a way to prevent that so it only does fullscreen on my main monitor? i have a geforce 880 gts and im using the proprietary driver (though it did the same before installing that driver) | 20:41 |
| passthru | usr_, i dunno if it will properly flush but, try: sudo sync ; sudo sysctl vm.drop_caches=3 ; sudo sysctl vm.drop_caches=0 ; sudo sync | 20:41 |

| cousteau | and avoid using that computer/partition | 20:43 |

| html_inprogress | youmee, clone it the format | 20:44 |
| youmee | Okay guys! Now I try to run 'testdisk' | 20:44 |
| passthru | youmee, if is a FS problem like corruption, accidentally formated, etc (not only partition / bad patition signature), you can try GetDataBack for NTFS | 20:44 |
| passthru | youmee, but keep in mind that GetDataBack is a closed source and payed software. | 20:45 |

| TaZeR | they look like chicken scratches compared | 20:53 |
| cousteau | tripelb, an Nvidia card? which drivers? if it uses 96.x drivers, be sure to get the last version | 20:53 |

| cousteau | (or Fonts, whatever) | 20:54 |
| tripelb | TaZeR, I know. | 20:54 |
| TaZeR | i think its something to do with font AA | 20:54 |

| tripelb | TaZeR, you whould use the nick of the person you are talking to. | 20:55 |
| tripelb | should | 20:55 |
| cousteau | TaZeR, damn go there, there's also an anti-aliasing thing there | 20:55 |

| tripelb | how can I refresh my desktop costeau | 20:59 |
| cousteau | tripelb, the problem is that TaZeR is in Xubuntu | 20:59 |
| TaZeR | i just mean every font overall doesnt appear like it would with ms cleartype | 20:59 |
| cousteau | tripelb, should be done automatically | 20:59 |
| === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler | ||
| TaZeR | just a different gui shouldnt make a difference to how to get it done | 20:59 |
| cousteau | tripelb, switch to monochrome and then back to subpixel for greater effect | 21:00 |
| TaZeR | has anyone succesfully made it appear as nice as ms cleartyype?| | 21:00 |
| astory | TaZeR: try asking in an xfce channel for specific instructions then. Overall, I've been much happier with ubuntu's font display than Windows | 21:00 |
| cousteau | TaZeR, yes it should because the config app is different | 21:00 |
| astory | ' | 21:00 |
| tripelb | costeau, I am wanting to do it myself. tazer and what he says is true. The fonts are bad here. I want to refresh my desktop to see if it worked, istnt there a way to do that. | 21:00 |
| cousteau | astory, specially when you try IE7 on a CRT monitor | 21:01 |
| tripelb | astory, I'm amazed. I can see small type on windows and I have to enlarge it in Ubuntu -- so far. costeau tazer | 21:01 |
| cousteau | tripelb, you can change the dpi to make fonts look bigger or smaller | 21:01 |
| tripelb | costeau what means, config app is different (I guess from windows to ubuntu) | 21:01 |
| brontosaurusrex | tripelb, what application? | 21:01 |
| debd | astory: I too do have a prolem with ubuntu fonts...its not exactly prominent | 21:02 |

| tripelb | bbs, going to look around here. | 21:02 |
| bittyx-laptop | hiya. when i do something simple like "grep 'something' somefile", i get all the lines from somefile that contain something, with 'something' highlighted (meaning, shown in red in my terminal, as opposed to the white of all the other text). however, if i pipe this to "tail" (to get just the last 10 lines), the highlighting disappears, and i just get white text. does anyone know how to go around this? | 21:03 |
| astory | cousteau: changing dpi in ubuntu didn't seem to change anything | 21:03 |
| cousteau | astory, maybe it depends on the program or requires restart | 21:03 |
| brightspark | How do you remove keyboard layouts from the menu that appears when you click your name in gnome display manager (the login screen)? | 21:04 |

| rww | bittyx-laptop: I haven't tested it, but try grep --color=always | 21:06 |
| cousteau | astory, well, for me it works with the Appearance window itsel... maybe it has to do with my graphics card (Nvidia legacy) | 21:07 |
| astory | cousteau: I'm using nvidia with proprietary drivers, so maybe that's the problem | 21:07 |
| cousteau | or the version (Maverick, but it also worked on Lucid IIRC) | 21:07 |
| astory | and I'm on maverick | 21:07 |
| cousteau | astory, me too, so that's not the problem | 21:07 |

| nixoninnes | Hey everyone. Im having some problems with my Java VM (64bit).; it's very unstable, and keeps crashing. Typically it's libjvm which is the "problematic frame". I've tried both openJDK and sun, but both behave the same way. Im running an AMD core & ATI drivers for mobo utilities. I've read that there are some problems with Java and some ATI drivers, however I thought this was only graphics related and my server doesnt use a GUI. Does anyone have | 21:11 |

| Ringwaul | I was trying to install ubuntu recently to get away from windows, but I'm having a weird problem installing | 21:38 |
| ChronicSyncope | i was asking what torrent clients people like, not really for a list of them | 21:38 |
| leghari | Hello every body | 21:38 |

| ubottu | JamesJRH: A schedule of Natty Narwhal (11.04) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule | 21:38 |
| rww | JamesJRH: and in general, natty stuff goes in #ubuntu+1 until release | 21:39 |
| guntbert | leghari: unlikely | 21:39 |
| rly | leghari: what makes someone an Ubuntu developer? | 21:39 |
| aif123 | how to upgrade to gnome 3.0 in ubuntu 10.04? | 21:39 |
| rly | leghari: someone paid by Canonical? | 21:39 |
| cheesee | i messed around with my fonts and now gnome doesn't load.. well it does but all i see is the mouse pointer | 21:39 |
| Ringwaul | So while installing ubuntu 10.10, I get to the "who are you page". After I enter all my info it says "Waiting for you" at the bottom but the "Forward" button is greyed out and I can't do anything. | 21:39 |
| rww | aif123: There is no GNOME 3 packaging for Ubuntu 10.04. | 21:39 |
| rww | Ringwaul: make your username all lowercase | 21:39 |
| oxsav | i have a problem with sound of my computer | 21:40 |
| Ringwaul | alright, I'll have a go at that | 21:40 |
| rly | Ringwaul: report a bug in the installer. | 21:40 |
| tensorpudding | aif123: ideally, get a vm and install 11.04 in it, then add the gnome 3 ppa | 21:40 |
| guntbert | !details | oxsav | 21:40 |
| ubottu | oxsav: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:40 |
| rly | Ringwaul: nobody should get 'stuck' during install. | 21:40 |
| Ringwaul | hm | 21:40 |
| aif123 | then what? | 21:40 |
| malv | so how good is amd videocard support now? | 21:40 |
| rww | rly, Ringwaul: It was a known bug in Maverick's version of the Live installer. It's fixed in natty. | 21:41 |
| malv | any annoying artifacts? | 21:41 |
| tensorpudding | aif123: and hope that it won't break your system | 21:41 |
| Ringwaul | alright | 21:41 |
| oxsav | sometimes i get no sound on my computer suddendly | 21:41 |
| rly | rww: I have another smallish issue with the 10.10 installer. | 21:41 |
| DasEi | malv:artifacts in general not, which card from amd ? | 21:41 |
| rly | rww: basically you get I/O errors when you are done with the installer. | 21:41 |
| malv | the new lines of ATI gpus | 21:41 |
| rly | rww: the only way is to press the power button. | 21:41 |
| rww | rly: also a known bug, though with the live environment rather than the installer. | 21:41 |
| malv | wonder if I should consider switching from nvidia to ati | 21:41 |
| rww | I don't have the bug number handy, but I have seen it. | 21:41 |
| rly | rww: how do these bugs slip through? | 21:42 |
| rly | rww: is it hardware specific? | 21:42 |
| oxsav | about one hour ago i was listening a sound on rythmbox and i stopped that sound, and i went to youtube to listen another and when i returned to ryth i was no sound on computer :S | 21:42 |
| aif123 | wtf? ive got radio | 21:42 |
| rww | rly: In the case of that one, it's not easy to fix. In the case of the one Ringwaul mentioned, not enough people testing installer images. | 21:42 |
| rich542 | Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu via boot from usb pendrive. It copied the files okay, when I boot it gets as far as saying Isolinux, then restarts to the boot splash. Anyone know what could be wrong? | 21:42 |
| DasEi | malv: they get supported better and bette, full 3 d capability might be a lack, but that is only required on highperformance-games, else purposes aka video and effects, the're fine | 21:42 |
| aif123 | rly | 21:42 |
| rly | rww: why is it not easy to fix? | 21:43 |
| rly | rww: what is the bug nr? | 21:43 |
| rww | rly: I just said, I don't have it handy. | 21:43 |
| rly | The installer also doesn't work with 512MB memory efficiently. | 21:43 |
| guntbert | Redeadhunter: go to the advanced part, select boot order... | 21:43 |

| JamesJRH | rww: Thank you. No then, Beta 2 is the last pre-release. If I install it now, when Natty is released, should I just update or reinstall? | 21:45 |
| guntbert | Redeadhunter: I cannto know your bios :) | 21:45 |
| rly | aif123: stfu and just leave this channel. TYVM. | 21:45 |

| iceroot | rly: if i read that correctly (in a few seconds) its only happening at installation and not again | 21:56 |
| rly | iceroot: that people discussed more about the bug than it would take to fix the issue. It just shows that the economics of open source do not work. | 21:56 |
| DasEi | raidghost: I never tried this, you can run a live cd from boot, though .. you would need an extra partition for the image and I can't predict if that won't get lost when partitoning and downloading, experiment to me so | 21:57 |

| raidghost | I wonder if the acer aspire one with 2GB ram and 500GB ssd would work | 22:00 |
| DasEi | raidghost: I'd say so | 22:00 |
| ActionParsnip | raidghost: 500Gb SSD, I doubt its an SSD | 22:00 |
| raidghost | Its hybrid drive | 22:00 |
| DasEi | true ;) | 22:00 |
| cheesee | good call let me try | 22:00 |
| vectory | i just owned myself | 22:00 |
| raidghost | with 4GB ssd and the rest not | 22:00 |
| andre_ | jesus will noone even acknowledge me? | 22:01 |
| vectory | i always use shift+ctrl+w to close a tav in gnome-console, and habitually used that in firefox private mode, now i lost all my tabs, altho i wanted to close only one T_T | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | raidghost: 500Gb SSD costs a LOT | 22:01 |
| vectory | can i remove that key bind? | 22:01 |
| ActionParsnip | andre_: sup? | 22:02 |
| astory | vectory: you can change it in gnome-terminal via edit>keybindings | 22:02 |
| vectory | nope | 22:02 |
| vectory | just checked | 22:02 |
| vectory | must be possible anyhow | 22:02 |
| astory | vectory: I'm looking at the option in gnome-terminal | 22:03 |
| astory | I'm still looking for firefox | 22:03 |
| vectory | if possible i want to keep it there, but remove it for all other apps | 22:03 |
| cheesee | argh DasE, can you please tell me what the command was again | 22:03 |
| cheesee | im using ircle which is annoying me and not my usual client | 22:04 |
| astory | vectory: fail : http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts :( | 22:04 |
| DasEi | raidghost: can you possibly hang the hd to your current box ? via usb-adapter or such ? | 22:04 |
| vectory | astory: oops, thought u ment gnome's start-menu | 22:04 |
| astory | firefox doesn't support changing shortcuts | 22:04 |
| raidghost | DasEi: i dont have any usb-drive | 22:04 |
| === erkan^ is now known as zippo^ | ||
| DasEi | raidghost: nah, I mean get ther "ssd" out the lappi and , via adaptor, hook it on your current box ( which might have cd ?) | 22:05 |
| perlsyntax | hey does anyone know where i can find a link that tell me what the network manger support what brondband modem? | 22:05 |
| vectory | if possible i want to keep the shortcut in gnome-terminal, but remove it for all other apps | 22:06 |

| quick_nick | I am having a problem with 11.04 screen going black and hanging when ever i attempt a logout/restart/shutdown gui or command line. So far google hasn't helped. would report it but don't know exactly what the problem is to report. anyone have any ideas? | 22:07 |
| vectory | astory: i tested with nautilus and there its the same | 22:07 |
| vectory | but ure right | 22:07 |
| vectory | in gimp its not | 22:08 |
| astory | and firefox definitely doesn't let you configure them without an addon | 22:08 |
| vectory | anyway, i want my tabs back | 22:08 |
| guntbert | andre_: what is your problem? | 22:08 |
| infoloco | greetings | 22:08 |
| DasEi | raidghost: i often did it in that way for weak machines, to have the basic install on a powerfull tower done in no time, re-insert hd in target-box and then getting a fitting end-install | 22:08 |
| ActionParsnip | hi infoloco | 22:08 |
| andre_ | guntbert: i guess firefly doesnt exist anymore? | 22:09 |
| DasEi | !info firefly | 22:09 |
| ubottu | Package firefly does not exist in maverick | 22:09 |
| guntbert | andre_: no idea what it is suposed to be | 22:10 |
| infoloco | A little help, I need to load x11vnc at start | 22:10 |
| andre_ | guntbert: do i want to use avahi then? to play my music in itunes? | 22:10 |
| ActionParsnip | !boot | infoloco | 22:10 |
| ubottu | infoloco: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 22:10 |
| infoloco | boot | 22:10 |
| infoloco | indeed | 22:10 |
| DasEi | andre_: rhythmbox | 22:10 |
| DasEi | !itunes | 22:10 |
| ubottu | itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 22:10 |
| guntbert | andre_: sorry, I have no idea, but avahi is for network config if I remember correctly | 22:10 |
| andre_ | okay so if i have all my media stored on my ubuntu server how do i play itin itunes on my windows computer and sync that with my ipod | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | the sooner people ditch apple's garbage, the better | 22:11 |
| guntbert | quick_nick: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 22:11 |
| quick_nick | guntbert: okay thanks | 22:11 |
| ActionParsnip | andre_: you can share the folder with samba, then map a network drive to the files | 22:12 |
| DasEi | andre_ which filesystem on the ubu-server ? | 22:12 |
| infoloco | thks! | 22:12 |
| ActionParsnip | andre_: then tell iTunes to add the location to the library (assuming it can) | 22:12 |
| andre_ | oh okay | 22:13 |
| andre_ | sorry i am not familar with linux programs | 22:13 |
| andre_ | i will try that then | 22:13 |
| DasEi | !samba | 22:13 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 22:13 |
| andre_ | i think i set my media drive to ntsf | 22:13 |
| andre_ | !samba | 22:14 |
| Nonesthecool | so the numbers on my laptop keyboard aren't working. Everything in Keyboard Access. are normal | 22:14 |
| Nonesthecool | what do? | 22:14 |
| DasEi | andre_: same hd or remote box ? | 22:14 |
| andre_ | differnt hard drive in my computer | 22:14 |
| DasEi | andre_: so you can just mount it in win, if it's ntfs | 22:14 |
| andre_ | maybe it is not ntfs since i put ubuntu on | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | andre_: your issue is windows based if you are having an itunes issue and both datas are on NTFS | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | andre_: windows cannot access Ext4, it's too primitive | 22:15 |
| andre_ | okay so scrap the firefly thing then haha | 22:15 |
| vectory | i looked at /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts to see how my ntfs hdds are mounted by nautilus. i want to copy the lines to /etc/fstab to mount the partitions on boot, which file should i look at, /proc/mounts? | 22:15 |
| DasEi | andre_: is why I ask, ext4 is still creepy for win, but you can also mount ntfs of win in ubu, then copy your music over, easiest way | 22:16 |
| andre_ | gparted and reformat the media drive to ntsf and then install samba? | 22:16 |
| ActionParsnip | vectory: if you run: mount you will se the mount options | 22:16 |
| andre_ | okay thanks ill have to retry that | 22:16 |
| andre_ | and i have to install samba to share it? | 22:16 |
| DasEi | andre_: samba isn't filesystem-specific, but if you use two hd's on the same board, samba isn't the solution | 22:16 |
| andre_ | oh | 22:17 |
| andre_ | damn | 22:17 |
| vectory | ActionParsnip: is it save to copy the line from `mount' to /etc/fstab? | 22:17 |
| brightspark | How do you remove keyboard layouts from the menu that appears when you click your name in gnome display manager (the login screen)? | 22:17 |
| DasEi | andre_: so mount win-parti and copy music from ubuntu over to it, easy task | 22:17 |
| andre_ | i have no idea what to do haha, all i wanted was to fill an old pc with harddrives and run ubuntu or something and be able to access them on my windows pc | 22:17 |
| ActionParsnip | vectory: you'll need to tweak it some, but the options will be the asme | 22:17 |
| === JasonO_ is now known as JasonO | ||
| ActionParsnip | andre_: then you can but it will need to access over LAN, not in the same system | 22:18 |
| vectory | ActionParsnip: care to elaborate? | 22:18 |
| DasEi | andre_: for that purpose you just mount win parti | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | andre_: a samba fileserver is not a complex project | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | vectory: the output of: mount will show options which you can copy to /etc/fstab to make stuff mount at boot | 22:19 |
| DasEi | andre_: in general ntfs and ext2, ext3 , fat are accessible for both OS'es | 22:19 |
| andre_ | haha okay so i have my ubuntu box set up on my lan just put on samba? | 22:19 |
| vectory | but? | 22:19 |
| DasEi | andre_: todays ubuntu default is ext4 | 22:19 |
| andre_ | and look for it in my networks on windows? | 22:19 |
| Nonesthecool | so the numbers on my laptop keyboard aren't working. Everything in Keyboard Access. are normal what do? | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | vectory: but the mount output is not exactly how the fstab file works, so you'll need to manipulate it | 22:19 |
| mehmetali | in d7 we have to get form into page with using drupal_render(drupal_get_form('foo'))? | 22:19 |
| DasEi | andre_: no, samba is there to share between two different boards over network | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | andre_: you will need to share a folder but yes. | 22:20 |
| andre_ | i have to take off for a bit now i hope you guys are still aroudn when i get back if i need help thanks a lot you have helped me out | 22:20 |
| mehmetali | ops wrongs window | 22:20 |

| deneb | hello | 22:20 |
| DasEi | hi deneb | 22:21 |

| root__ | helloooooooooo | 22:21 |
| vectory | so im as wise as before :s | 22:21 |
| DasEi | !hi | 22:21 |
| deneb | i have an idea...what about developing an auto file manager? | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | vectory: fine, then copy the stuff over to /etc/fstab plus some tweaks and it will be fine | 22:22 |
| raidghost | DasEi: The acer aspire one, is that a dual cpu ? | 22:22 |
| DasEi | deneb: no idea what that would do, rather ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:23 |
| vectory | ActionParsnip: i expected you to do my work and walk me through the process, elaborating what tweaks need to be done exactly :) | 22:23 |
| vectory | i dont want to loose all my data | 22:23 |

| relik | kalm it down | 23:00 |
| ebiester | Howdy. I'm trying to diagnose a freezing problem in 10.10 - the mouse will move, but nothing will respond by mouse or keyboard. I can still SSH in, and one of the cores (via htop) is going full steam, and Xorg.0.log has this message: "EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop." Now, when I google that, I see that it can be a whole host of bugs. | 23:00 |
| BGM2 | it says: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! | 23:00 |
| relik | when does the kernel panic occure | 23:00 |
| BGM2 | :s | 23:00 |
| ActionParsnip | ronaldo_: ask in #ubuntu+1 for natty | 23:00 |
| BGM2 | umm, when I try to boot it | 23:00 |
| ebiester | Now that I have found a way to replicate the bug, I'm wondering how to start narrowing the problem down. | 23:00 |
| ronaldo_ | thx | 23:00 |
| trism | kaattaa: possibly with lxpanel-indicator-applet-plugin plus any indicator- packages you want, however I haven't tried it | 23:01 |
| relik | i mean | 23:01 |
| relik | what did you do what caused the kernel panic? | 23:01 |
| BGM2 | ah | 23:01 |

| chelz | Cody3290: find a mirror of the isos that supports ftp | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | BGM2: reboot the sysyem and hold shift, then select memtest from there. Try saying "I don't know how to do that" rather than the meaningless "cuz like" you gave | 23:05 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: So, basically, just google it? | 23:05 |
| BGM2 | well I guess this can't hurt at this point. /me braces self | 23:05 |

| rww | prower: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks! | 23:10 |

| jord | erUSUL: no, checked with ethtool eth0 | 23:12 |
| drhydralisk1 | ActionParsnip: I am trying to use it for my headphones, but I also plugged in my speakers and still no dice. I changed the connection setting in Sound Prefs. but still nothing | 23:13 |

| ActionParsnip | drhydralisk1: is the front audio part of the case you are using or is it piece of hardware? | 23:13 |
| Cody3290 | Another question: Could quitting by holding down the power button on XP affect the Ubuntu partition at all? | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: possibly as the drive may be in use etc | 23:14 |
| Inumedia | nvm found it | 23:14 |
| drhydralisk1 | ActionParsnip: It is part of the case, but works fine in Windows, so it must be an Ubuntu problem (11.04) | 23:14 |
| erUSUL | Cody3290: it shouldn't | 23:14 |
| Cody3290 | ActionParsnip: Thanks, that's probably what messed up my ubuntu installation xD | 23:14 |
| chelz | Cody3290: if you're planning to mount that windows partition under ubuntu, you won't be able to unless you do a clean shutdown/reboot of windows | 23:14 |
| jord | erUSUL: The switch? Nothing has changed as far as I am aware. Had a power outage this morning, turned it back on and now stuck at 10Mb/s. | 23:14 |
| chelz | Cody3290: otherwise should be ok | 23:14 |
| chelz | Cody3290: oh also if you're using wubi then it could bork stuff, potentially | 23:15 |
| Cody3290 | My XP froze, so i rebooted and stepped away. Before I could reload XP, GRUB already chose Ubuntu for me on the countdown, and then soem weird stuff started happening | 23:15 |
| Cody3290 | And now I load to ReadyBox or something like that, it's a console type thing, no desktop at all. Very disconcerting. | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | drhydralisk1: natty isnt supported here until release day, ask in #ubuntu+1 | 23:15 |
| jord | erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/598453/ | 23:15 |
| manicou | Hey, I was wondering if anyone had experience with getting sound cards to work in Ubuntu and could potentially help me out with something. | 23:15 |
| chelz | ebiester: yeah i'd say poke around logfiles. btw you can auto-complete nicks on (most) irc clients by typing the first few letters then hitting the tab key. it's called tab completion, like in the shell | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: probably busybox ;) | 23:16 |
| drhydralisk1 | ActionParsnip: OK. thanks | 23:16 |
| Cody3290 | ActionParsnip: Yeah, that was it. Can I fix that without having to do a fresh install of ubuntu? | 23:16 |
| erUSUL | jord: any clue in « dmesg » ? | 23:16 |
| Cody3290 | ActionParsnip: Or do you need more information regarding the problem? | 23:16 |
| chelz | Cody3290: you could probably fix that. have you installed ubuntu on this machine more than once? | 23:16 |
| erUSUL | jord: i read that for « sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 » you fiorst have to turn off autonegotation | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: you may be able to fix it in a livecd / usb | 23:17 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: Twice, actually. After I installed XP, I just COULD not figure out how to repair GRUB using the LiveCD, so I went ahead and just reinstalled Ubuntu | 23:17 |

| ActionParsnip | caverdude: if you are running maverick you may get java from this ppa (works in natty here): http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/ | 23:23 |
| caverdude | ok looks like that is working, thanks | 23:23 |
| Inumedia | Why does my Touchpad move my cursor faster in relation to my screen resolution aspect ratio? | 23:23 |
| chelz | Cody3290: try holding the power button and getting that menu in the picture i linked | 23:23 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: When I hold the power button on that screen, it just shuts the computer down | 23:24 |
| chelz | Inumedia: i think that's configurable in the mouse settings. the thing you refer to is called "sensitivity" | 23:24 |
| erUSUL | jord: do not see anything related there; sorry.- | 23:24 |
| jord | erUSUL: thanks for your assistance anyway | 23:24 |
| chelz | Cody3290: well it's not a technical shutdown, it just turns it off. but it's okay since it's a livecd and only in ram anyway | 23:24 |
| Inumedia | chelz: Where can I configure it and why does it become less "sensitive" to me moving left/right when I only use one monitor? | 23:24 |
| ahmedhelal | chelz: gparted see the hdd as empty, although i can access the drives directly !!, i can even browse through my windows files !, but installation and gparted see it as empty hdd with no partitions | 23:25 |
| chelz | Inumedia: those are just the defaults. try to go to System -> Preferences -> Mouse | 23:25 |
| Inumedia | I looked there already. | 23:25 |
| chelz | ahmedhelal: do you get any error messages? anything like a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it? | 23:26 |
| Inumedia | The only thing relating to my touchpad is scrolling and clicking | 23:26 |
| chelz | ahmedhelal: pastebin the output of this: sudo fdisk -l | 23:26 |
| ahmedhelal | chelz: nop, not at all its a new laptop | 23:26 |
| Supm4n | Hi everyone. Il like ubuntu but I would like to understand why it is so slow when starting after a sleep mode. Does anyone has the same issue ? | 23:26 |
| Inumedia | chelz: And the only thing relating to sensitivity would only make the issue worse | 23:26 |
| rcconf | network-manager is for nm-applet? | 23:26 |
| ahmedhelal | chelz: fdisk can see the 3 partitions of my hdd | 23:27 |
| html_inprogress | Supm4n, yes? | 23:27 |
| chelz | ahmedhelal: is it /dev/sda? | 23:28 |
| manicou | woot! nevermind, fixed it <3 | 23:28 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: Should I be concerned? [2011-04-24 18:03:58] *** ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso: PIECE 1111 FAILED HASH CHECK | 23:28 |
| Inumedia | So I ask again: Why does my Touchpad move my cursor faster in relation to my screen resolution aspect ratio? | 23:28 |
| chelz | Cody3290: torrents autofix stuff, but just to be sure, do a "force recheck" | 23:28 |
| ahmedhelal | chelz: yes, i saw some note thought by fdisk saying that partition 1 doesnt end on cylinder boundary | 23:28 |
| chelz | Inumedia: that's just a setting. you should be able to lower the sensitivity | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Cody3290: yes, the image is bad, redownload | 23:28 |
| Kano | hi, how to get bootchart running with natty? | 23:29 |
| chelz | ahmedhelal: that's probably okay. try this now: sudo parted /dev/sda print | 23:29 |
| Inumedia | Yeah, which lowers the entire sensitivity. But it will still move left/right much faster then it will up/down. | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Kano: natty isn't supported here until release | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Kano: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 23:29 |
| html_inprogress | Supm4n, whats your status aka what do u have as hardware,os version and software runniung at the time of shut down? | 23:29 |
| Kano | ActionParsnip: you count days | 23:29 |
| Kano | funny | 23:29 |
| chelz | ActionParsnip: that's a common message in utorrent, just means a piece has to be regrabbed. redownloading isn't necessary | 23:29 |
| Inumedia | chelz: Yeah, which lowers the entire sensitivity. But it will still move left/right much faster then it will up/down. | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Kano: no, its not released and not stable, not funny at all | 23:29 |
| ahmedhelal | chelz: got a warning | 23:29 |
| chelz | Cody3290: a way to be sure is to run the "test disc for defects" thing | 23:29 |
| tripelb | Inumedia, your touchpad speed aka sensitivity, is likely set in a different place than the mouse sensitivity. That's what I had in windows. There was "software" for the touchpad. It had more degrees of freedom than the mouse so it needed that. | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Kano: read the channel head | 23:29 |
| chelz | ahmedhelal: what's the warning? | 23:29 |
| Kano | ActionParsnip: 3 days left only | 23:30 |
| Inumedia | tripelb: Whta's the name of that software? | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Kano: doesn't matter, its still pre-release | 23:30 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: Now I just get this [2011-04-24 18:29:16] 5.231.2.184:52441 [uTP](ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso): Banning peer: same peer id as existing peer Which probably has nothing to do with the download, but OK I will do the test for defects. Thanks! :D | 23:30 |
| html_inprogress | party at my web site ! | 23:30 |
| ahmedhelal | i wish i cud pastebin it but cant connect to wifi from there yet, it says /dev/sda contains gpt signature indicating that it has a gpt table, however it doesnt have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should perhaps it was corrupted -- possibley by a program bla bla.. | 23:30 |
| Igor_Elez | I installed additional plymouth splash-screen and now the new splash-screen just stops and the PC is not turning on, CAN ANYONE HELP? :/ | 23:30 |
| tripelb | Inumedia, oh looks like you have better advice than I. Ihave no-idea on the difference in lattitude vs longitude 9to say it with humor) | 23:30 |
| ahmedhelal | chelz: ^^ | 23:30 |
| Kano | ActionParsnip: nobody answers in the other channel | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Kano: be patient, your release is offtopic here | 23:31 |
| ahmedhelal | chelz: then it asks me , is this a gpt partition table ? | 23:31 |
| ahmedhelal | yes /no | 23:31 |
| Inumedia | heh | 23:31 |
| Cody3290 | PowerISO is verifying the disc data | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | Cody3290 | 23:31 |
| ubottu | Cody3290: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 23:31 |
| chelz | ahmedhelal: hmm that is wacky | 23:31 |
| Inumedia | So I ask again: Why does my Touchpad move my cursor faster in relation to my screen resolution aspect ratio? ( It moves faster left/right than up/down ) | 23:31 |
| Kano | ActionParsnip: does bootchart work with maverick | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Kano: not used it | 23:31 |
| Supm4n | html_inprogress: ubuntu 10.10, classic soft like firefox, empathy, ... sometimes nothing in GUI. | 23:31 |
| chelz | Cody3290: yeah check the md5 of your iso | 23:31 |
| Cody3290 | Thanks ActionParsnip , chelz | 23:32 |
| chelz | Inumedia: oh that. that might be a hardware thing that certain drivers could correct for | 23:32 |
| Supm4n | html_inprogress: but, before I had a core 2 duo and It was not better. | 23:32 |
| funktronic | does unity run in a vm ? | 23:32 |
| Inumedia | chelz: Do you know where I can get the correct drivers? | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | funktronic: if you enable 3d accel, yes | 23:32 |
| chelz | ahmedhelal: do you have a usb stick? could you copy and paste that message into a text file and save it on the usb stick then pastebin it? | 23:32 |
| chelz | Inumedia: well you'd probably just change the settings on ubuntu, although where to change them i'm not sure | 23:33 |
| Inumedia | chelz: Yeah. I know that. | 23:33 |
| Inumedia | Now if only I knew where to change them myself. | 23:33 |
| Inumedia | This is the second time I've dealt with this, it's the same issue in Lucid. | 23:33 |
| funktronic | ActionParsnip: thanks loooks i need to do that | 23:34 |
| Igor_Elez | I changed my plymouth Boot Screen and now the new splash-screen just stops upon boot and the computer is not turning on, CAN ANYONE HELP??? | 23:34 |
| html_inprogress | Supm4n, well that core 2 duo , needed the 64 bit version | 23:34 |
| Supm4n | I always use 64 | 23:34 |
| chelz | Inumedia: well you're probably not the first to want custom trackpad settings. i'd guess it has to do with some xorg.conf stuff, but i don't know for sure | 23:34 |
| tripelb | I want my monitor at the highest preset resolution rather than the optimal preset resolution. How can I do that? | 23:34 |
| Ben64 | tripelb: highest is likely optimal | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Igor_Elez: boot to root recovery mode and undo what you did | 23:35 |
| zvacet | Igor_Elez; just a guess boot in recovery mode and delete dplash- screen you installed and then try normal boot | 23:36 |
| max__ | hi all | 23:36 |
| chelz | !hi | max__ | 23:36 |
| chelz | !hello | max__ | 23:36 |
| chelz | they removed that ;/ | 23:37 |
| max__ | are these people human?? | 23:37 |

| html_inprogress | i am a html bot | 23:38 |
| Cody3290 | ActionParsnip: There is no .md5 file, only a md5sum.txt | 23:38 |
| Igor_Elez | ActionParsnip zvaceti will try, thanks I will try | 23:38 |
| max__ | so.. some of them are machine too? | 23:38 |
| Cody3290 | ActionParsnip: Never mind, I am supposed to downlaod hte md5 | 23:38 |
| tripelb | ben64 the process of asking the question clarified so I changed it. (I got the difference from a dell webpage about my monitor.) My interest is in clearer fonts. (XP has clearer type. I have to increase the size of the font to read it in Ubuntu. That sucks. Webpages look funny. | 23:38 |
| hoodstar901 | hey | 23:39 |
| max__ | how we know thats human or not? | 23:39 |
| Cody3290 | Ok, I don't see where to dl the md5. Any ideas? | 23:39 |
| chelz | Cody3290: the md5 is just a long number, you compare it visually usually | 23:39 |
| chelz | Cody3290: a hexadecimal number to be exact | 23:40 |
| hoodstar901 | hello all im new to this chat forum could i ask a question? | 23:40 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: md5sum, rather | 23:40 |
| Cody3290 | hoodstar901: Don't ask to ask, just ask. If you get my drift. | 23:40 |
| chelz | Cody3290: if you're on windows you want a thing called hashtab | 23:40 |
| hoodstar901 | anyway on using my 5gb of ram in this ubuntu 10.10? | 23:40 |
| chelz | Cody3290: "Download HashTab 4.0 for Windows" http://implbits.com/Products/HashTab.aspx | 23:40 |
| hoodstar901 | prelinkled but thats just for harddrive space swapping. rite? | 23:41 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: Downloaded it. :) | 23:41 |
| * max__ is newbie | 23:41 | |
| Cody3290 | chelz: Errr... How do I use it? xD | 23:42 |
| tripelb | I changed my desktop resolution. will it automatically show (looks the same, didnt flash or anything) or what do I do to make it actually happen. must I reboot? (thanks) | 23:42 |
| jeffrey_ | hi ever one | 23:42 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: I don't see it in the right click context menu | 23:42 |
| Maahes_ | I've imported my home dir from an external drive, but all of the folders (and subfolders) don't have the final x traversal flag on them, other than doing chmod o+x manually on each folder and subfolder, what could I use to mass apply that to a whole tree of directories (and not files)? | 23:42 |
| BGM2 | hi ActionParsnip sorry to bother you again, just letting you know about progress; I am fsck'ing the partition and it already found some errors and what does it mean by "force rewrite"? | 23:43 |
| hoodstar901 | okay im guesiing ijust asked a stupid question. well if in fact i did please eleberate on how/ ubuntu has a 32 and 64 bit build | 23:43 |
| Cody3290 | hoodstar901: Are you installing on a fresh HDD? Is it pre-built or custom-built computer? What OS did it have installed before? | 23:44 |
| chelz | Cody3290: another thing you can do in utorrent is click "Force Re-Check" above Advanced: http://www.tipsotricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/utorrent-download-status-bar.png | 23:44 |

| Cody3290 | hoodstar901: In that case, just download the x86 (32) and be done with it | 23:46 |
| hoodstar901 | again how do i use all 5gb in ubunt witch should auto 36 bit to read my 2.75 gb of free ram. its got a pae so whats the prob? | 23:46 |
| escott | hoodstar901 you can enable pae for the 32bit | 23:47 |
| Cody3290 | ^ | 23:47 |
| MichaelSM | I need a software engineering / computer science mentor. | 23:47 |
| html_inprogress | hoodstar901, so you basically have a winds linx and hackitoish on the same machine? | 23:47 |
| hoodstar901 | dont we all cody3290 | 23:47 |
| hoodstar901 | html yea. but i cant write a program to save my life | 23:48 |
| erUSUL | hoodstar901: you have to install the pae kernel | 23:48 |
| erUSUL | !pae | 23:48 |
| ubottu | To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 23:48 |
| hoodstar901 | ive installe dthe pae kernal still no luck | 23:48 |
| erUSUL | hoodstar901: and you booted with it? « uname -r » | 23:48 |
| almoxarife | hoodstar901: you got a 64bit machine ? | 23:48 |
| chelz | Cody3290: if your cd ends up being up fine but it still won't get to the menu, you might have to get the alternate installer cd | 23:48 |
| hoodstar901 | yeah its easy | 23:48 |
| Soothsayer | I have Windows 7 installed on a 500 gb hard drive (it uses 3 NTFS partitions). Now I'm buying a new 1 TB hard drive... and I also want to dual boot between Windows 7 and Ubuntu. | 23:48 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: It's worked with the virtual desktop before. Can you think of any reason why that would cease to work? | 23:49 |
| hoodstar901 | i have a 32 bit machine | 23:49 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: I mean, the LiveCd desktop | 23:49 |
| Soothsayer | Should I be formatting the new hard drive to ext4 partition using gparted? | 23:49 |
| html_inprogress | hoodstar901, so am i ,but as my name says, but i like to know what do you want done? | 23:49 |
| chelz | Cody3290: well might be different version of ubuntu, and the disc might also be bad | 23:49 |
| rich542 | Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu via boot from usb pendrive. It copied the files okay, when I boot it gets as far as saying Isolinux, then restarts to the boot splash. Anyone know what could be wrong? I've tried using testdisk in windows, which shows the drive as having 4 bootable partitions. | 23:49 |
| chelz | Cody3290: did you verify the md5? | 23:50 |
| BGM2 | uhoh.. something about an HTREE index with an invalid root node | 23:50 |
| chelz | rich542: try unetbootin | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | rich542: can you boot to root recovery mode? | 23:50 |

| ActionParsnip | rich542: no of ubuntu | 23:51 |
| zvacet | Soothsayer: I don´t5 know what you have in mind with new hd but I think it is better to install both os on smaller hd and use bigger for storage | 23:51 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: I downloaded the disc over again (that's what i did today, i was using another disc but it looked kind of scratched so i decided to dl a new one) and I can't for hte life of me figure out how to check the md4sum. I did hte force re-check on uTorrent though, and it worked fine, so | 23:51 |
| rich542 | It isn't installed, I want to boot from usb to install. | 23:51 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: In a little bit I'm gonna reboot and try to install ubuntu again | 23:51 |

| chelz | Cody3290: hashtab not showing up? | 23:51 |

| nelly | it do not help me | 23:55 |
| chelz | Cody3290: ok. if you can get to that menu do the 'test disc for defects' | 23:55 |
| Cody3290 | chelz: How exactly do I get to that menu? | 23:55 |

| histo | chelz: Cody3290 then follwo the direcitons on that page and check the disk | 23:56 |
| rich542 | it comes as part of the .iso installer I extracted in win 7. | 23:57 |
| histo | Cody3290: if the disk matches the hash of the iso then you have a proper burned cd | 23:57 |

| histo | ActionParsnip: usb createer does | 23:57 |
| ActionParsnip | rich542: use unetbooting or the 1-2-3 app from pendrivelinux to put the ISO on the USB, there is no extraction needed | 23:58 |

| ActionParsnip | histo: sure but not by the user | 23:58 |
| rich542 | ActionParsnip, so if I don't have a cd drive, and don't extract how do i run usb-creator to begin with? | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | rich542: use unetbooting or the 1-2-3 app from pendrivelinux | 23:58 |
