| rich542 | Each time after usb-creator finished it ends up with 4. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| rich542 | Before it has 1 | 00:00 |
| ruser | ok | 00:00 |
| reedyseth | Hey guys !, does anybody now how to configure properly the display setting when booting? | 00:00 |
| ruser | I'll try youtube-dl, but it might not work | 00:00 |
| chelz | rich542: use unetbootin | 00:00 |
| ruser | I switched to yaydl but that was discontinued too | 00:00 |
| chelz | ruser: try jdownloader | 00:00 |
| chelz | ruser: after youtub-edl | 00:00 |
| ActionParsnip | rich542: then try the other apps I named | 00:01 |
| rich542 | chelz: why is changing the program used to install a boot loader going to fix the partition structure of the usb disk? I don't see the connection. | 00:01 |
| html_inprogress | Soothsayer, windows is a pain to in stall, and i think the Dr_Willis caN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION , which it has to do with the grub , and im limtied on that supject, ,,,, he will be around in a few hours to8 | 00:01 |
| chelz | rich542: oh. right. you should format that usb thing to just fat32. | 00:01 |
| Soothsayer | zvacet: where should my swap area go? | 00:01 |
| Cody3290 | Its harder to install windows after ubuntu, since oyu have to fix the GRUB loader | 00:01 |
| chelz | rich542: i forgot unetbootin doesn't do partitioning | 00:01 |
| Cody3290 | its easier to install ubuntu after you install windows | 00:01 |
| Soothsayer | html_inprogress: windows is really easy to install.. what's a pain about it ? | 00:02 |
| rich542 | chelz: It is fat32 now | 00:02 |
| chelz | Cody3290: eh after a bit of practice is pretty easy | 00:02 |
| chelz | rich542: but just one or a few? | 00:02 |
| Cody3290 | True | 00:02 |
| Soothsayer | Cody3290: I see.. luckily I have windows already installed. | 00:02 |
| reedyseth | Hey guys !, does anybody now how to configure properly the display setting when booting? | 00:02 |
| Cody3290 | So whats hte problem with burning an ubuntu disc and loading it at startup, Soothsayer? | 00:02 |
| tecnovirtua | Boa noite | 00:02 |
| escott | Soothsayer as long as you dont move or resize your windows boot partition things should be ok | 00:02 |
| Igor_Elez | ruser Or Try MiniTube program, it has a nice GUI and besides that it plays youtube videos in Java insted of Flash it also has a nice option of Downloading videos! :) | 00:02 |
| Soothsayer | Cody3290: basically, I'm not sure how I should do the setup.. whether to put both the OS's on one hard drive and all data on another or one hard drive for windows and one for ubuntu ? | 00:03 |
| chelz | reedyseth: depends on your graphics card, but if you mean like having the proper resolution, one way is to put a "vga=" line in your grub config | 00:04 |
| gartral | Soothsayer: i've done both, it's faster if you split OS/Data. | 00:04 |
| escott | Soothsayer either will work. The advantage of putting ubuntu on disk 2 is you can put grub on the mbr of disk2 and set disk2 as the boot disk chain loading disk 1 | 00:04 |
| Cody3290 | Soothsayer: That's a matter of preference, I think. If you're gonna have all the data on another drive, the partition that the OSes are on doesn't have to be too big, just big enough to carry the OSes and maybe some space to spare | 00:04 |
| Cody3290 | What escott says | 00:04 |
| Soothsayer | that's three different opinions.. :) | 00:04 |
| rich542 | chelz, I get from testdisk: bad relative sector, bad starting sector, bad ending sector (chs and lba don't match) only one partition must be bootable. | 00:04 |
| ChronicSyncope | i have a bunch of things running in sysmon that i can't close with killall (rtorrent) | 00:04 |
| ChronicSyncope | how do i kill them? | 00:05 |
| chelz | rich542: do you have anything you want to keep on that usb drive? | 00:05 |
| Soothsayer | gartral: makes sense.. | 00:05 |
| chelz | Soothsayer: you might think about your discs possibly dying. if you have ubuntu and windows on separate drives, then if one drive dies you still have an os | 00:05 |
| rich542 | chelz: no. | 00:05 |
| escott | Soothsayer, do you want what is easy, what is faster, or what is better backed up | 00:05 |
| Soothsayer | Cody3290: ye, I could just allocate around 150 gb for bot the OS's | 00:05 |
| chelz | rich542: are you currently in windows? | 00:05 |
| ruser | jhow | 00:05 |
| ruser | hoiw | 00:05 |
| ruser | how does jdownloader download stuff | 00:05 |
| rich542 | chelz, yes | 00:05 |
| aroman | hi, I really need to edit my grub.cfg file on Maverick, but I can see that it's read-only, even for root. I guess this is because grub2 doesn't want anyone messing with that file, but I really need to. How can I do what I want to do, or what is the grub2 equivalent? thanks | 00:05 |
| Cody3290 | Soothsayer: 150gb for JUST the OSES? o.O That's... Overkill | 00:05 |
| Soothsayer | chelz: oh ye... and if I have all my data on one hard drive.. I can afford to lose a lot in the data disc dieing | 00:05 |
| chelz | ruser: you add links, then they download | 00:05 |
| Soothsayer | Cody3290: lot of Adobe, Video Editing, IDE's, etc shit on the Windows one :-P | 00:06 |
| ruser | I see | 00:06 |
| Soothsayer | already at 98 GB | 00:06 |
| chelz | aroman: you shouldn't edit grub.cfg, you edit other files then run an update command that creates a grub.cfg | 00:06 |
| ruser | I like youtube-dl also, only I don't have python for windows | 00:06 |
| escott | easier ubuntu on disk 2, faster system on disk 1 data on disk 2 or raid stripping, backed up raid1 mirroring | 00:06 |
| sweb | how can i logout daemon user ? | 00:06 |
| Cody3290 | Soothsayer: Then that's not only the OS. That's the OS + Installed Programs. | 00:06 |
| aroman | chelz: right, I understand that, but I don't know how to do what I want to do without manually editing the menu entry. | 00:06 |
| Soothsayer | How about on the smaller Disk I use some space for the OS and the rest of the space for data.. (which is like backups of important stuff from disk 2) | 00:07 |
| QaDeS | my box gets really slow sometimes, causing even the mouse and keyboard leds to hang. running on 2.6.32-31-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 8 18:25:51 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 00:07 |
| chelz | aroman: so learn! :D | 00:07 |
| Soothsayer | Cody3290: well, on windows.. we're so used to installing programs in the partition of the OS :-P so don't blame me! | 00:07 |
| aroman | chelz: I don't think it's possible is what I mean | 00:07 |
| chelz | aroman: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 00:07 |
| chelz | aroman: what do you want to do? | 00:07 |
| aroman | add a rootdelay to the kernel command in a menuentry | 00:08 |
| Soothsayer | How about on the SMALLER Disk I use some space for the OS and the REST for data too so I can minimize the risks of all data being on one drive incase the data drive crashes. | 00:08 |
| chelz | aroman: oh totally possible. you add that to either defaultopts or another place, depending on whether or not you want it part of recovery options also | 00:08 |
| Cody3290 | Soothsayer: If you're really worried abotu data loss, you can back up your stuff online | 00:09 |
| Cody3290 | Mediafire is a good free service | 00:09 |
| QaDeS | top doesn't show any cpu hog, but the system monitor has the dark blue layer right up to the top. any ideas what's causing the lag, or how i can fix it? | 00:09 |
| ChronicSyncope | i can't seem to kill a process with sudo killall or sudo kill -9 | 00:09 |
| ChronicSyncope | it's using all of my CPU | 00:09 |
| Soothsayer | Cody3290: online backups are difficult.. i'm on a slow internet :@ | 00:09 |
| ChronicSyncope | it says it's killed but it's still showing up in sysmon, and it's still using all of my cpu | 00:09 |
| aroman | chelz: What file do I need to edit, then? grub.cfg doesn't seem like its relevant at all | 00:09 |
| Igor_Elez | Is there a way to install BURG insted of GRUB 2 on Ubuntu 11.04 ? I can't manage to do that the way i did it on Ubuntu 10.10 :/ | 00:09 |
| escott | ChronicSyncope, send it kill -HUP | 00:09 |
| chelz | aroman: one of those files in /etc/grub.d/ | 00:09 |
| Cody3290 | Soothsayer: Oh. | 00:09 |
| Cody3290 | BURG is GRUB backwards, lol. | 00:10 |
| escott | ChronicSyncope, rather kill -s HUP | 00:10 |
| Cody3290 | JUst making an obvious observation, :3 | 00:10 |
| escott | ChronicSyncope, that will cause data loss for that program | 00:10 |
| chelz | aroman: there's a list of the default files in /etc/grub.d/ on this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 00:10 |
| ChronicSyncope | escott, ~$ bash: kill: -HUP: invalid signal specification | 00:11 |
| rich542 | chelz: Is there something i can do in testdisk to fix the drive? | 00:11 |
| Nzaw4 | quick question when i update using syntpic package manager, when it updates a enw kernel, and i reboot, it wont load up the gui, and just loads the termial when i load the newst kernel | 00:11 |
| hoodstar901 | cant seem to find this bigmem???????/ doesnt seem to have a directory for these download fro these sourcves? | 00:11 |
| chelz | rich542: the drive is fine, just have to repartition it. | 00:11 |
| Nzaw4 | ive tried startx, and i think its gnome start,i cant get back into the Gui.. please hellp , im the super noob | 00:11 |
| * Nzaw4 Super noob girl needs help :( | 00:12 | |
| chelz | rich542: xp, vista or 7? | 00:12 |
| reedyseth | chelz: after trying to change my display settings with some program it turned to display nothing but a blank window when loading | 00:12 |
| rich542 | chelz, 7 | 00:12 |
| Soothsayer | gartral, Cody3290, escott : So if keep the OS's in one partition and data in another... in Ubuntu, I'll have to mount the User's directory to the new hard drive? | 00:12 |
| ChronicSyncope | escott, it didn't stop the process | 00:12 |
| escott | Soothsayer, you add it to the fstab and it will be mounted automatically (specify it in the install and ubuntu will create the fstab for you) | 00:12 |
| aroman | chelz: oooooh, I see how this works now | 00:12 |
| chelz | rich542: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Can-I-repartition-my-hard-disk | 00:13 |
| escott | ChronicSyncope, kill -s HUP shouldn't be trapable, it is zombied? | 00:13 |
| AngryBlackGuy | hey quick question, is 7zip not compatible with Linux's zip ? | 00:13 |
| chelz | rich542: do that but select the usb drive and just make it so there's one big fat32 partition | 00:13 |
| Nzaw4 | quick question when i update using synaptic package manager, when it updates a new kernel, and i reboot, it wont load up the gui, and just loads the terminal when i load the newest kernel. Ive tried typing startx, and gnome, i cant get back into the GUI ? can anyone help me please? | 00:13 |
| hoodstar901 | cghelz what exactly areu tryinhto do? | 00:13 |
| ChronicSyncope | escott, it's rtorrent | 00:13 |
| AngryBlackGuy | because i couldnt unzip in ubuntu a zip archive i created in windows 7 | 00:13 |
| reedyseth | chelz: and even when i press crtl+alt+f1 to switch to tty i can't see nothing | 00:13 |
| Soothsayer | escott: hmm.. so where do packages I install through aptitude, etc go? In the OS partition or the other? | 00:14 |
| ChronicSyncope | escott, it's opened about 5 times, and one of the processes says uninterruptable. I'm not sure that I know what zombied means | 00:14 |
| rich542 | chelz, I already did that it appears in windows as 1 fat32 primary partition. in testdisk however it shows 4 different type partitions. | 00:14 |
| sweb | please help me to run 'uniconv' via php | 00:14 |
| tjiggi_fo | Nzaw4, reboot and choose your old kernel from the grub menu | 00:14 |
| sweb | :( | 00:14 |
| escott | Soothsayer, most in /usr (which you could put on its own partition, but its seldom necessary disks are so big now) | 00:14 |
| escott | ChronicSyncope, uninterruptable means it is running something in the kernel, perhaps it is waiting on a socket operation that could take a few minutes | 00:15 |
| Nzaw4 | tjiggi_fo: i just did... so i cant use the new kernels from the package manager? | 00:15 |
| chelz | rich542: testdisk is designed to look for deleted stuff, so that might be fine. in windows does it have a free space amount that is about the same as the size of the usb drive? | 00:15 |
| Zburatorul | i'm having some major IO issues on 10.10 with Gnome. where should i start figuring it out? | 00:15 |
| Soothsayer | escott: Putting something like /usr in its own partition is something that is done during install time or later? | 00:15 |
| ChronicSyncope | escott, there are 4 other processes called rtorrent that dont say that, which i cant stop | 00:15 |
| escott | Soothsayer, yes determine your partitions prior to the install | 00:15 |
| Igor_Elez | Is there a way to install BURG insted of GRUB 2 on Ubuntu 11.04 ? I can't manage to do that the way it was done in all older versions of Ubuntu :/ ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO IT? | 00:15 |
| tjiggi_fo | Nzaw4, to use the new kernel you'll have to sort out your graphics problem | 00:15 |
| Nzaw4 | ahh its a graphics problem | 00:16 |
| ChronicSyncope | escott, collectively they're running my fast cpu up to 100% :p | 00:16 |
| Cube`` | hey, i have lost my /etc/init.d/mysql. how can i get it back? | 00:16 |
| rich542 | chelz: it shows 14.8 gb for a 16gb device. | 00:16 |
| Soothsayer | escott: ok. And what file system to pick for the Ubuntu OS + data partitions? Ext4 or NTFS ? | 00:16 |
| Nzaw4 | tjiggi_fo: thanks | 00:16 |
| Zburatorul | Cube: try dpkg-reconfigure mysql | 00:17 |
| matt444 | When I do a Ctrl+Alt+F1 the screen only flickers and I never get a login. Does this mean my display only works with X? | 00:17 |
| reedyseth | rich542: it is correcto it never shows it size as we define it | 00:17 |
| tjiggi_fo | Nzaw4, np | 00:17 |
| escott | Soothsayer, if you want to access the data from both systems use NTFS, do not use NTFS / or /usr or other core unix folders | 00:17 |
| Cube`` | Zburatorul: thanks! | 00:17 |
| reedyseth | matt444: I have the same problem | 00:17 |
| escott | ChronicSyncope, hmmm googling for what to do | 00:17 |
| zvacet | Soothsayer: will windows read data | 00:18 |
| brewster | hey im having this here problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1394214 but i don't want to rename /usr/local because there are important files in that directory. can anyone help? | 00:18 |
| ChronicSyncope | escott, i've been doing some googling too. it looks like it might be a kernel bug? | 00:18 |
| chelz | rich542: close enough. unetbootin will work with that fine | 00:18 |
| Soothsayer | zvacet: ye, I want just 'one' of the partitions shared between ubuntu and windows 7... and the rest will be exclusive to each of the OS. | 00:18 |
| zvacet | Soothsayer: ntfs then | 00:18 |
| triggerhappy | hey | 00:19 |
| Nzaw4 | hrmm with my ubuntu setup, can i do like a nand backup with all my setting and programs backuped, then move that nand backup to an external and reinstall windows 7? and when i want to go back to my ubuntu, restore the nand backup? | 00:19 |
| Cube`` | hey, i have lost my /etc/init.d/mysql. how can i get it back? | 00:19 |
| escott | ChronicSyncope, doubtful people would notice a bug like that :) most likely these rtorrents are doing something like creating a big file or waiting on a socket that is taking the kernel a long time to return | 00:19 |
| Soothsayer | escott: ok. Is the mounting of /usr done during the installation or after it? Cause I don't recall a screen during setup that helps u configure all this.. or is the advanced options option where you can pick the drive in the beginning itself? | 00:19 |
| Soothsayer | zvacet: probably, I will have to mix between the two | 00:19 |
| Soothsayer | ? | 00:20 |
| escott | Cube``, recommend you install etckeeper for the future. try forcing a reinstall of mysql | 00:20 |
| === rich542_ is now known as rich542 | ||
| Soothsayer | or how about this -> I create two ext3 partitions - one for the Ubuntu OS + one for the /usr directory. Everything else NTFS ? | 00:21 |
| reedyseth | #ubuntu-es | 00:21 |
| escott | Soothsayer, click on the manage my partitions during the install and you cna create and specify the mount points | 00:21 |
| happyface | why are VNC connections to ubuntu not encrypted by default? | 00:21 |
| Cube`` | escott: whats the package name though? there is no "mysql" | 00:21 |
| kdgrng | nick | 00:22 |
| escott | Cube``, mysql-server? use synaptic | 00:22 |
| phil42 | 6.2 quake in indonesia | 00:22 |
| Cube`` | ok | 00:22 |
| Soothsayer | escott: I see. I believe the /home mount point should be on a data partition? | 00:23 |
| jord | erUSUL: Fixed it. I read somewhere that newer network cards have a "digital tuner" (whatever that means) and if you turn the computer off completely and leave for 10 mins it will reset. I did that and now it's working! | 00:23 |
| Kijutsu | Okay... so I installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS on PPC.. what the heck is this virbr0 ethernet interface I see under ifconfig? | 00:23 |
| escott | Soothsayer, yes /home on your data drive is normal | 00:23 |
| hyndra | any one here | 00:24 |
| hyndra | kubuntu is off | 00:24 |
| Soothsayer | escott: where do stuff like MySQL database files get stored? | 00:24 |
| kdgrng | help | 00:24 |
| Soothsayer | /var/lib/mysql right? | 00:24 |
| === ChronicSyncope_ is now known as ChronicSyncope | ||
| escott | Soothsayer, yes /var | 00:24 |
| hyndra | i install vmware qemu or virtualbox but they dont start | 00:24 |
| Soothsayer | escott: so then this should also be on another partition? | 00:25 |
| ChronicSyncope | escott, i think it's a kernel bug, i just restarted. | 00:25 |
| hyndra | run but cant create vm why ____??? | 00:25 |
| Soothsayer | cause it's data | 00:25 |
| erUSUL | !yay | jord | 00:25 |
| ubottu | jord: Glad you made it! :-) | 00:25 |
| escott | Kijutsu, he virtual network (virbr0) used for Network address translation (NAT) which allows guests to access to network services. However, NAT slows down things and only recommended for desktop installations. google | 00:25 |
| Kijutsu | escott: I did... however, I can't find how to make it go away. I have several servers installed on this and it's just mucking things up. | 00:26 |
| brewster | :[ | 00:26 |
| escott | Soothsayer, the having lots of partitions approach is becoming less traditional but feel free to split partitions basically as much as you want, you have to have a /bin and /etc on / | 00:26 |
| jord | ubottu: :) | 00:26 |
| Soothsayer | escott: ye, I don't want to have lots of partitions.. | 00:26 |
| escott | Kijutsu, disable your KVM guests and it should go away | 00:26 |
| Soothsayer | I want to avoid that. | 00:26 |
| Kijutsu | escott: i have no virtual machines setup or running on this box | 00:27 |
| Soothsayer | escott: but say I put the Ubuntu OS one drive (Drive A) and the data on another (Drive B) which actually implies two partitions | 00:27 |
| josheee12 | hey guys. i use libpam-usb for authing my login, etc. how would i go about enabling the same thing for my keyring? | 00:27 |
| brewster | can someone please help | 00:27 |
| Soothsayer | so Drive B = /user + /var | 00:27 |
| Soothsayer | Drive A = everything else | 00:27 |
| escott | Soothsayer, why don't you step back and prioritize between a) an easy way to fall back to plain windows, b) backups, c) performance | 00:27 |
| escott | Kijutsu, is your machine a VM on the server | 00:28 |
| Kijutsu | escott: nope.. it's a standalone Mac tower. | 00:28 |

| Kijutsu | escott: 10.04 lts PPC server | 00:29 |
| escott | Kijutsu, did you want the server or desktop | 00:29 |
| Soothsayer | escott: well... tough call. I'd say a balance of each :-P But ye, I'd compromise on performance if I had to pick.. I got a quadcore with 4 gb anyway, so it's fast enough. | 00:29 |

| escott | Kijutsu, and how is this device messing things up | 00:30 |
| escott | Kijutsu, see if there is a libvirtd service and disable uninstall is | 00:30 |

| brewster | a couple of games are in there | 00:31 |
| escott | Soothsayer, and how full are your disks? | 00:31 |
| doncams | hi. i have a dir where i want all dir to be chmod to 755 and all files to be chmod to 644 | 00:31 |
| doncams | what's the easiest way to do this? | 00:32 |
| brewster | as well as some important looking libraries | 00:32 |
| escott | Soothsayer, do you have 1+ TB of data or 500G of data | 00:32 |
| Soothsayer | escott: I've got like 150 GB / 500 GB remaining in my old disk.. the 1 tb one is empty cause it will reach my door step tomorrow. | 00:32 |
| Kijutsu | escott: there is a service udner /etc/init.d -- but when i issue service libvirtd stop -- it returns unrecognized service | 00:32 |
| Soothsayer | escott: Assume I have a total of 350 GB data so far | 00:33 |
| brewster | :/ | 00:34 |
| escott | Soothsayer, if I were you then I would have something like this: sda1 Windows c: sda2, sdb1 ubuntu raid1 / (50gb is plenty), sda3,sdb2 raid1 ext4 (to fill sda); sdb3 NTFS win d: for the rest of the disk | 00:35 |
| mimmo | ciao | 00:37 |
| escott | Kijutsu, there must be a kernel module, you could try removing it/removing the service from boot time and then rebooting | 00:37 |
| Soothsayer | escott: ok, makes sense... so you've RAIDED all the Ubuntu data drives + the Ubuntu OS drive using remaining space from the SDA ? | 00:38 |
| escott | Soothsayer, yes but I've never trusted drives since a pair of DeathStars went down within 2 months of each other | 00:39 |

| KabukiOrigin | Can anyone on channel suggest a web admin package for a home server? I used to use Webmin, but it's getting older and still not in the repos (which helps with updates). | 00:40 |
| escott | Soothsayer, where to put /var is back into the whole performance thing | 00:40 |
| thien | what's the difference between install a software via .deb fiile and via ubuntu software center? | 00:40 |
| Soothsayer | escott: well it's about space more, ain't it? What if my MySQL database was more than 100 gb ? | 00:41 |
| KabukiOrigin | I'm looking for web admin of samba shares, primarily, plus basic status & package management. | 00:41 |
| KabukiOrigin | escott: a .deb can come from anywhere (via download). | 00:41 |
| KabukiOrigin | whups: thien: a .deb can come from anywhere (via download). | 00:41 |
| KabukiOrigin | thien: the software center is more automatic, and you can often find repos for non-mainstream packages (like tor, for example). | 00:42 |
| thien | if i install via a .deb, is it autoupdatable? | 00:42 |
| escott | Soothsayer, so you are concerned about a possible future where your mysql database is really big and you need to migrate it to another drive | 00:42 |
| KabukiOrigin | thien: Depends on what's installed. For example Sun's virtualbox is, but it adds its own repos to your sources.list. Other apps may have their own update path internal to the program. | 00:43 |
| Soothsayer | escott: well it's not a possible future.. its quite immediate cause I'm setting this up to act as a testing / simulation server of an actual production database of a web app.. | 00:43 |
| Soothsayer | so yes, i'll be filling the database with 100 gb of space | 00:44 |
| Soothsayer | data* | 00:44 |
| KabukiOrigin | thien: Many times it's not going to autoupdate, which is a big advantage for the repos. | 00:44 |
| ruser | How can I convert old Windows innotek virtualbox vbox/vdk files for use with Sun/s Virtualbox for linux | 00:44 |
| ruser | they both have different keys | 00:44 |
| ruser | Would I have to write my own converter | 00:44 |
| KabukiOrigin | ruser: Is there an export function or a way to get it into an .OVF format? That might help. | 00:45 |
| escott | Soothsayer, then having a partition for /var would be nice because you could manage it by itself, I would definitely recommend using linux md even if you only have a single disk, it would help migration because you can configure raid1 degraded and then add a disk to the array, and then remove the old device | 00:45 |
| ruser | ok | 00:46 |
| ruser | maybe | 00:46 |
| ruser | Waht is OVF format for VirtualBox | 00:46 |
| thien | KabukiOrigin: thanks | 00:46 |
| ruser | I could probably fool around and write one in C but I wondered if there was an easier way | 00:46 |
| Soothsayer | escott: ok, ill read up on that.. I have no clue about how to setup RAID or use linux md.. but I get the basic picture. | 00:47 |
| Soothsayer | escott: only one mount point can be selected for one directory right? | 00:48 |
| escott | Soothsayer, its fairly easy i think there is a wiki page somewhere | 00:48 |
| Soothsayer | cool, i'll find it :) | 00:48 |
| KabukiOrigin | thien: You're welcome. In general I prefer to find a repo to keep my package management simpler, but sometimes you just have to grab the .deb (grin) | 00:48 |
| Soothsayer | I guess I'll need at least 5 hours to do all of this with setting up apache, php, mysql, etc.. got to make some free time I guess then | 00:49 |
| MK`` | When 11.04 comes out, will I be able to upgrade to the newest kernel without updating Ubuntu? | 00:49 |
| escott | Soothsayer, yes one mount point per directory (except for some truly exotic stuff not relevant to you) | 00:49 |

| Soothsayer | a lot. | 00:50 |
| thien | when i install openoffice via U soft Center, it says: Package dependencies cannot be resolved. what do i have to do ? | 00:51 |
| Yoshimi | Anyone have any suggestions for a UPnP/DLNA compliant media server that is easy enough for someone without any technical know how to use, but still has features that are tweakable to an advanced user? | 00:52 |
| Yoshimi | thien: Could you use Libre Office instead? | 00:52 |
| Soothsayer | by the way, this desktop has a Wireless network card ( D-Link Wireless DWA-510 ). Any idea if this would work out-of-the box with ubuntu 10.10? | 00:52 |
| thien | Yoshimi: which is better? | 00:52 |
| Soothsayer | thien: ye, just install libreoffice | 00:53 |
| Soothsayer | libreoffice in my opinion. | 00:53 |
| === cell0 is now known as stelio | ||
| smw | Yoshimi, what are you using it for? PS3 media server was perfect for my ps3 | 00:53 |
| Soothsayer | Just moved to it 2 days ago.. and I believe Ubuntu 11 is going to replace openoffice with libreoffice. | 00:53 |
| escott | thien, Soothsayer the Oracle purchase of Sun has caused some name changes OpenOffice -> LibreOffice MySQL->MariaDB (although the mysql one is less decided Oracle is still hot and cold on mysql) | 00:53 |
| MK`` | Yes, it is | 00:53 |
| Yoshimi | 360 and original Xbox with XBMC | 00:53 |
| smw | Yoshimi, I have also used mediatomb (which I dropped because ps3 media server had automatic transcoding) | 00:54 |
| Yoshimi | But I tried PMS and it was so... meh... | 00:54 |
| Soothsayer | escott: MariaDB? :-| never heard of that. | 00:54 |
| Yoshimi | Right now I'm using TVersity on an M$ box | 00:54 |
| Yoshimi | But I hate it | 00:54 |
| smw | Soothsayer, MariaDB is a fork of MySQL that is made by the original author | 00:54 |
| mfilipe | is there any sensor applet to unity? | 00:54 |
| sparrW | I seem to be stuck with Gnash as my flash player in Firefox on Ubuntu 10.10, even though I have adobe-flashplugin installed. Help? | 00:54 |
| MK`` | Oracle stopped commercial development of OpenOffice.org because of so many developers jumping ship to LibreOffice | 00:54 |
| escott | Soothsayer, yeah just be aware that the future of mysql is up in the air, oracle is being weird | 00:54 |
| Soothsayer | smw: ye, I'm reading it now.. hmm.. | 00:54 |
| thien | ok. i'll use libre. but when i install a software via U soft center, if it says "Package dependencies cannot be resolved", what do i have to do? | 00:55 |
| Soothsayer | escott: ye, I've read some articles about that online.. why did oracle buy mysql ! | 00:55 |
| Yoshimi | Install the dependencies :p | 00:55 |
| smw | Soothsayer, the developer sold mysql for $1 Billion and then forked it when Oracle got it. | 00:55 |
| aeMaeth | I reinstalled ubuntu 10.10, did not delete my /home/ , but now i'm having trouble with my gpg keys, i get "gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session" | 00:55 |
| Soothsayer | SUN rather | 00:55 |
| smw | Soothsayer, no, he forked it when Oracle obtained it from Sun | 00:56 |
| thien | but don't know what to install. it doesn't say. | 00:56 |
| Soothsayer | smw: Wow. | 00:56 |
| escott | thien, that shouldn't happen to you, if it does it usually because you have an older package that is not supported anymore (like openoffice) | 00:56 |
| smw | Soothsayer, just like the OO.o people forked when sun was sold | 00:56 |
| Soothsayer | What could be the worse possible thing that could happen to MySQL ? | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | aeMaeth: try chowning your home folder to your user in a root recovery mode | 00:56 |
| escott | Soothsayer, I don't think you will have problems if you install mysql, you just may have to go through a name change in the future if Oracle jumps ship and takes the name with it | 00:57 |
| spirals | any ffmpeg wizards handy? | 00:57 |
| smw | Soothsayer, MySQL could go unmaintained for years or Oracle could make proprietary plugins or stop accepting new features from outsiders. | 00:58 |
| mfilipe | is there any sensor applet to unity? is project hamster support unity? | 00:58 |
| xtr3m3 | hi, is it true you cannot change the default port for vino? | 00:58 |
| Soothsayer | smw: ye, true. Especially MySQL is something that needs a lot of catching up and features to do. | 00:58 |
| smw | Soothsayer, Jenkins (formerly hudson) also changed names with Oracle obtained it. | 00:59 |
| ventas5 | hi | 00:59 |
| Soothsayer | MariaDB is such a gay name! | 00:59 |
| smw | Soothsayer, all these projects fear Oracle for a reason ;-) | 00:59 |
| MK`` | haha I was just going to post that smw. Perhaps this belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic however | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | mfilipe: for which release? | 00:59 |
| jpastore | how do you get your second video card to work? | 00:59 |
| smw | Soothsayer, it is the name of the developers other daughter... | 00:59 |
| ryan | Hello everyone | 00:59 |
| jpastore | hello ryan | 01:00 |
| smw | Soothsayer, I would not say that to Monty's face ;-) | 01:00 |
| xtr3m3 | hi ryan | 01:00 |
| mfilipe | ActionParsnip: 11beta2 | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | mfilipe: then your release is offtopic here | 01:00 |
| mfilipe | ActionParsnip: my distro is up-to-date | 01:00 |
| Soothsayer | smw: hehe | 01:00 |
| Soothsayer | Anyone predicts driver issues with D-Link Wireless Network card in Ubuntu 10.10? | 01:00 |
| === mike is now known as Guest51930 | ||
| ActionParsnip | mfilipe: your OS is supported in #ubuntu+1 until release day | 01:00 |
| ryan | Is this a good place to ask a couple of general questions? | 01:01 |
| escott | spirals whats the question | 01:01 |
| mfilipe | undersante | 01:01 |
| mfilipe | understood* | 01:01 |
| mfilipe | hehe | 01:01 |
| mfilipe | thanks | 01:01 |
| thien | thanks everyone. bb. | 01:01 |
| Soothsayer | ok I'm off now. | 01:01 |
| tanz | hello | 01:01 |
| aeon-ltd | ryan: ubuntu related, yes if not go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 01:01 |
| Soothsayer | Cheers! | 01:01 |
| jpastore | Soothsayer, why not try a live cd? | 01:01 |
| Soothsayer | jpastore: ye just thought of that actually | 01:02 |
| Soothsayer | I'll try it tomorrow | 01:02 |
| tanz | hey dose any one here run BackTrack? | 01:02 |
| Soothsayer | Thanks escott :) | 01:02 |
| escott | ryan, yes | 01:02 |
| jpastore | Soothsayer, night then | 01:02 |
| tanz | dose any one run blacktrack here? | 01:02 |
| ryan | I have a couple of questions about general application installation. I have downloaded a couple programs which all work fine (eclipse, firefox) but they don't show up in the "Applications". Its like I just unzipped them and ran the app but it never got registered with Ubuntu | 01:02 |
| rww | tanz: Backtrack is offtopic here, try #backtrack-linux | 01:02 |
| ActionParsnip | tanz: backtrack is offtopic and unsupported here | 01:03 |
| tanz | #backtrack-linux | 01:04 |
| escott | ryan, if you install through the standard mechanisms apt-get software center synaptic you will get menu items, otherwise use the menu editor to manually create entries | 01:04 |
| ActionParsnip | ryan: eclipse and firefox are in the repos | 01:04 |
| botcity | MK``, did you fix your disk problem? | 01:04 |
| MK`` | botcity: no, gave up for now | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ryan: if you want to keep what you have you can run: alacarte and add launcher to the menu as you wish, | 01:05 |
| ryan | @ActionParsnip well I installed a mod of eclipse called Aptana | 01:05 |
| Cube`` | why do i always get 403-Forbidden errors for every php file inside of /var/www? | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ryan: however, the apps will not get updated with the rest of your OS as you have sidestepped the packaging system | 01:06 |
| spirals | escott: I want to combine a jpeg and an mp3. I have done a bunch of searching and checked the intimidating help for ffmpeg and still don't have a working 1 liner for that task. | 01:06 |
| spirals | escott, goal is YT uploads | 01:06 |
| ryan | @ActionParsnip Ahhh, how can I register it with the packaging system? | 01:06 |
| escott | spirals, ive done the jpeg before do you have a sequence of jpegs or a single one? | 01:06 |
| spirals | escott, just a single one (cover ;) ) | 01:06 |
| Somelauw | Okay, I am using ubuntu 10.10 on 64 bit with awesome as windows manager and I am looking with vlc to a mkv file and for some reason it is using my cpu for about 80%. | 01:06 |
| escott | spirals, the first step then is to create an input file for the frames. calculate fps*length and do "for f in `seq 1 prod`; do echo "filename">>frames.txt"; done | 01:07 |
| ActionParsnip | ryan: you can't you need to install it with debs | 01:07 |
| Somelauw | So I have excellent hardware, very lightweight software and vlc wastes it by using cpu for a gpu task. | 01:08 |
| spirals | escott, ok I follow you so far, I had a equivalent function worked out | 01:08 |
| jpastore | so does anyone know how to enable s econd video card? | 01:09 |
| escott | spirals, and then it is something like ffmpeg -i @frames.txt -r fps -i audio.mp3 output.mp4 | 01:10 |
| Somelauw | What is the best player to open .mkv files with? (So it actually uses my gpu?) | 01:11 |
| spirals | escott, thanks, i'll play with that | 01:11 |
| spirals | escott, appreciate it | 01:11 |
| Somelauw | Or what package do I need so my vlc will open it smarter. | 01:11 |
| Somelauw | ? | 01:11 |
| escott | spirals, mencoder (apt-get install mplayer) is a bit less finiky than ffmpeg | 01:11 |
| spirals | I'm not attached to ffmpeg, just need a scriptable solution. | 01:12 |
| Internat | somelauw.. theres an option in vlc the advanced section of output | 01:12 |
| ryan | @ActionParsnip I hate to ask... what are debs (sniffle) | 01:12 |
| Internat | debs are .deb files.. there archives that have all the package info, config files, metafiles, man pages and so on. | 01:13 |
| Internat | when you run apt-get install <x> it gets the deb file for x | 01:13 |
| Somelauw | Internat: So is it dangerous to use gpu with vlc media player or why isn't it enabled by default? | 01:14 |
| ryan | so when I D/L something from the net ... like a .tar should I unzip it and then run that command on it? | 01:14 |
| Internat | not at all. just not everyone has hardware rendering available | 01:14 |
| Somelauw | It almost locks up my system when running it on cpu. I can't even move my move anymore. | 01:14 |
| Internat | ryan: no you should be using apt-get install <package> to install what you want. | 01:14 |
| arand | ryan: .deb is a binary .tar.gz is source, as a general rule.. | 01:15 |
| spirals | escott, so your frames.txt is a file with 1 line for each frame where each line is the filename of the frame, correct | 01:15 |
| Somelauw | Internat: So why doesn't vlc check if hardware rendering is available? | 01:15 |
| Internat | you can ask the vlc developers that :) | 01:15 |
| synackfin | when I log in, I see "Welcome to Ubuntu" multiple times (3x) | 01:15 |
| ryan | well how do I know the names of the packages I want to install? So it looks like I have the source code versions of the programmings I downloaded | 01:15 |
| arand | ryan: Or rather .deb is a collection of binaries and other final-product items | 01:15 |
| synackfin | anyone know how to fix it? (or which file is read when I log in?) | 01:16 |
| escott | spirals, i believe so (never done it that way but I saw someone suggest that) | 01:16 |
| synackfin | I did "grep -r Welcome /etc" but didn't find any file | 01:16 |
| apn | synackfin, /etc/motd maybe? | 01:16 |
| smw | ryan, what are you trying to do? | 01:16 |
| rolandixor | Matr|x what exactly is happening when you try to connect? | 01:16 |
| spirals | escott, ahh, just trying to work out the input file you're using in the ffmpeg command | 01:17 |
| escott | spirals, unless I am confusing with mencoder (which is entirely possible) you could try just doing ffmpeg -i image.jpeg -i audio.mp3 | 01:17 |
| spirals | escott, when I do that I get a 1 frame video that's very short. | 01:17 |
| escott | spirals, i know that ffmpeg -i image%04d.jpeg will work | 01:17 |
| smw | so, ryan, what specifically are you trying to install? | 01:18 |
| synackfin | apn: ah, thanks. I ran grep on the wrong host! | 01:18 |
| spirals | escott, it defaults to a duration of .04 seconds though. this is where the documentation starts to fail hard. :/ | 01:19 |
| escott | spirals, you could make a bunch of symlinks in a script | 01:19 |
| ryan | I'm just trying to install some general software I need | 01:19 |
| ryan | like an eclipse mod called aptana | 01:19 |
| lainy | how do i change the maverick login screen? | 01:19 |
| ryan | I got it running, but it doesn't register in the app's section since I didn't use the package manager | 01:19 |
| Somelauw | Thanks internat, it actually runs much smoother now. Unfortunately, I already watched it, so it will need to wait until my next mkv file. | 01:19 |
| Internat | :) | 01:20 |
| Internat | np. | 01:20 |
| smw | ryan, for eclipse mods, doesn't eclipse have its own package manager | 01:20 |
| thien | oops... when i install libreoffice via u soft center, it says Package dependencies cannot be resolved too | 01:21 |
| ryan | well smw, can you give a term or something I can search on to learn more about installing software and linux package management | 01:21 |
| ryan | I see the apt-install script commands, but I have no idea how to apply that to the software I need since I don't know the official names of it | 01:22 |
| smw | ryan, this is why we have the software center | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | thien: what is the output of: lsb_release -d | 01:22 |
| smw | ryan, it is a gui to using apt get which is easier to search. | 01:22 |
| thien | ActionParsnip: Description:Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | thien: ok can you use: http://pastebin.com and give the output of: lsb_release -a; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install libreoffice | 01:23 |
| ryan | thanks smw, but it doesn't have all the software I need | 01:24 |
| ryan | that is why I tried to download it from the net | 01:24 |
| smw | ryan, what you downloaded. Did it have a README or INSTALL file? | 01:24 |
| SubCool | that was quick | 01:25 |
| thien | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/Vi79izpg | 01:25 |
| SubCool | AFKB - But- while im here. Can i Command prompt a downgrade from 10.10 to 10.04? | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | !downgrade | SubCool | 01:25 |
| ubottu | SubCool: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 01:25 |
| SubCool | Thanks ActionParsnip - i was hoping you would respond. | 01:26 |
| ryan | swm, nope sure didn't | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | thien: does: sudo apt-get -f install help? | 01:26 |
| SubCool | so my best option would be a fresh install? | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | SubCool: its the only way | 01:26 |
| SubCool | k- thanks. | 01:27 |
| smw | ryan, can you give me a link to what you are installing? | 01:27 |
| SubCool | Ok- so then. Can anyone assist in Vmware WOrkstation for 10.10? | 01:27 |
| SubCool | actually- scratch that.. This computer is a single core- its not really worth it. | 01:28 |
| jessicaBR | hey, I just tried to install ubuntu maverick on my new laptop, and a msg shows up while booting: "thermal reporting for required devices..." | 01:28 |
| smw | ryan, btw, I meant the INSTALL/README file should be found in the compressed archive (tar file) | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | SubCool: it'll run, just use a light DE :D | 01:28 |
| SubCool | ActionParsnip: Is there a backup action that ubottu can link me to? | 01:28 |
| ryan | http://www.aptana.com/products/studio2/download | 01:28 |

| smw | ryan, if you have problems following that guide, feel free to ask questions | 01:31 |
| ryan | thanks smw, I did read that but it was over my head. I have no idea what it was talking about when it said ... "make sure you $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME is pointing to your xulrunner 1.8 dir" | 01:31 |
| rcconf | Is there a way to make network-manager resetting spoofed mac address? i tried with macchanger. (and tried spoof option in NM too but it's not working with WPA) | 01:32 |
| ryan | also also the other packages that need to be installed such as compat-libstdc++ | 01:32 |
| smw | ryan, damn, you are right, this is not very beginner friendly | 01:32 |
| smw | ryan, maybe this is easier. http://docs.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Plugging_Aptana_into_an_existing_Eclipse_configuration | 01:33 |

| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| ryan | well i got that working that way, but i really feel like I'm just way in over my head. I really don't mind do the research and reading. but I just have no idea where to start. I have lots of other software I want to install | 01:34 |
| rick_ | salut ya tu quelqun qyyui peu maider avec ubuntu jai un probleme avec les mise a jour\ | 01:34 |

| ryan | so it does work, but I just went right around the package manager, so I would love to figure out hwo to do this stuff the right way | 01:34 |
| smw | ryan, the reason you feel that way is because the instructions were made for developers and not people :-\ | 01:34 |
| smw | ryan, that is the right way. | 01:34 |
| ryan | hahaha funny, because I do web development so I could handle the jargon if it was on a windows enviro | 01:35 |
| smw | ryan, installing as an eclipse plugin is probably the best way. | 01:35 |
| ryan | gotcha, well I'll do that, thanks for the help. could you give me a link or something that might help me learn more on this stuff?? | 01:35 |
| smw | ryan, the way they explained was much more hackish than the eclipse plugin. | 01:35 |
| === ng_ is now known as NG_ | ||
| smw | ryan, depends on what stuff you are referring to. None of this had to do with the package manager | 01:36 |
| smw | ryan, before you were asking a general question and getting a general response. the package manager was NOT the right way to handle this. | 01:36 |
| ryan | LOL so I'm just lucky, i was going to try and install some VMWare to run some windows programs next | 01:36 |
| thien | when i install libre office, at command: sudo dpkg -i *.deb, terminal says: javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! what to do? | 01:37 |

| smw | !java | thien | 01:37 |

| rcconf | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr | 01:40 |
| rcconf | Dreki: deluge maybe | 01:40 |
| smw | Dreki, what do you look for in a torrent client? | 01:40 |
| edbian | Dreki: I use transmission | 01:40 |
| rolandixor | i | 01:40 |
| rcconf | if u want something simple use transmission | 01:41 |
| ryan | thanks for the smw, I really appreicate it. lata | 01:41 |
| Atomhunter | I use utorrent | 01:41 |
| darkvader | i have a problem, i'm trying to rip a dvd, i've tried 4 or 5 different programs but the results are the same, corruption | 01:41 |
| rcconf | Atomhunter: on wine? lol | 01:41 |
| smw | Blackadder, what are you trying to do? | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Dreki: define 'powerful' | 01:41 |
| Blackadder | backup mysql tables on the fly m8 | 01:41 |
| Atomhunter | Opps.... Forgot I don't have torrent client in My ubuntu... | 01:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dreki, i like rtorrent+screen, but I like command line ;) | 01:42 |
| Dreki | smw edbian rcconf i look for options, and something thats fast. doesnt have to be extreamly user friendly, but a gui is nice | 01:42 |
| smw | Blackadder, so, you want a read slave? | 01:42 |
| tiagoscd | the intrepid repository has removed? I can't find it in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ | 01:42 |
| edbian | Dreki: Then they're all equal | 01:42 |
| Blackadder | I built up a user management system from scratch + cron jobs I need to have it auto propagate | 01:42 |
| edbian | Dreki: I guess don't use rtorrent it doesn't have a gui | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Dreki: try transmission, its spiffy. It also has a web UI so you can control torrents remotely if you desire | 01:42 |
| rcconf | mac address spoofing and wpa bug http://markmail.org/message/5ary4cvzlirvro73 | 01:43 |
| smw | Blackadder, I am not going to try to explain how to make a read slave because it is too difficult. Instead I am just going to tell you to google it :-). | 01:43 |
| Blackadder | lol | 01:44 |
| smw | Blackadder, also note that read slaves maybe a little bit behind the master. | 01:44 |
| Blackadder | I already did slave it what I am getting is a constant timeout | 01:44 |
| aj91193 | hello | 01:44 |
| aj91193 | i need some help with ubuntu | 01:45 |
| Blackadder | from the slave it keeps timing out | 01:45 |
| smw | Blackadder, not sure then. I use the amzn multi-az rds instance. | 01:45 |
| rcconf | !ask | aj91193 | 01:45 |
| ubottu | aj91193: 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. :-) | 01:45 |
| smw | Blackadder, it is not exactly what you are looking for though. | 01:45 |
| smw | Blackadder, you may want to try #mysql to see if anyone can help with the timeout problem | 01:46 |
| aj91193 | i deleted my configuration files in ubuntu linux, and i cant get back on it. I tried to download it again and reboot it, but it keeps saying that there are no configuration files. Any ideas? | 01:46 |
| Blackadder | #mysql is Ubuntu help channels? | 01:47 |
| rcconf | im giving up | 01:47 |
| smw | Blackadder, no, it is the mysql help channel. You are right now on the freenode irc network | 01:47 |
| rcconf | aj91193: what configuration files? | 01:47 |
| Blackadder | kk I am new I just pull everyting from the forum | 01:48 |
| aj91193 | i was trying some things in the terminal, and i saw a directory titled 'TMP'. it was highlighted, but i did not think i needed it, so i deleted it. | 01:48 |
| smw | Blackadder, you are right now on a chat server with help channels for almost anything you can think of ;-) | 01:49 |
| Blackadder | q anyone having problems with webmin 1.54 with the latest Ubuntu 28.35 pae | 01:49 |
| rww | !webmin | 01:49 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 01:49 |
| MK`` | aj91193: /tmp ? | 01:49 |
| rcconf | aj91193: you deleted /tmp/ ? | 01:49 |
| aj91193 | yes | 01:49 |
| aj91193 | call me stupid, but i didnt think i needed it | 01:49 |
| Blackadder | I had to reboot server in safe mode then drop root shell to have it restarted | 01:49 |
| rcconf | aj91193: boot from livecd, go to the / partition and mkdir tmp | 01:49 |
| MK`` | ^ it's used as a general purpose temporary directory | 01:50 |
| SlickT10 | anyone else having problems quiting programs using ctrl c in ubuntu 11.04? | 01:50 |
| MK`` | it clears itself when you reboot, mostly | 01:50 |
| rww | SlickT10: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks! | 01:50 |
| MK`` | but it's needed by the OS | 01:50 |
| smw | aj91193, it looks to me like a reinstall is your best option | 01:50 |
| rcconf | aj91193: if you deleted /tmp/ just create it again lol | 01:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Blackadder, #debian's webmin factoid is even better << Webmin is a lame web-based interface for unsafe system administration for Unix. Check it out at http://webmin.com/ Remember, dondelelcaro *hates* webmin. "i'd rather sit on the floor shoving table knives into live electrical outlets than run webmin on an exposed server." Removed from Debian post-Sarge, see http://bugs.debian.org/343897 . The Debian package from webmin.com is of poor quality. | 01:50 |

| ubottu | Debian bug 343897 in ftp.debian.org "ftp.debian.org: Please remove all webmin related packages" [Wishlist,Open] | 01:50 |
| SlickT10 | rww: thanks | 01:50 |
| smw | aj91193, if you were experienced, it would be possible to fix it. But seeing as you got yourself into this position in the first place, reinstall is easier. | 01:51 |
| aj91193 | i tried a reinstall, and it comes up with 'no Default or UI configuration directive found | 01:51 |
| smw | aj91193, when you boot an install cd? | 01:51 |
| aj91193 | i used a usb download from the ubuntu site | 01:51 |
| smw | aj91193, are you sure it was booting off the usb drive? | 01:51 |
| Inumedia | Why does my Touchpad move my cursor faster in relation to my screen resolution aspect ratio? | 01:51 |
| aj91193 | snw, originally, or now? | 01:52 |
| Blackadder | Ooops its not as if I really need it but nice to have a graphic admin. Do u think I should remove webmin from my cluster | 01:52 |
| smw | aj91193, you are unable to do a complete reinstall of the system? | 01:52 |
| Blackadder | I had to rebuild one of my servers after I installed it just would NOT reboot | 01:53 |
| aj91193 | as far as i can see, i am unable to do so. i downloaded the 64bit of 10.10 just now, and used the universal usb installer to set it up, but it doenst work | 01:53 |
| Blackadder | installed wembin worked nicely until I rebooted Ubuntu 10.10 32bit | 01:54 |
| Inumedia | Why do I not have /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 01:54 |
| Blackadder | then server never managed to even make it to safe mode | 01:55 |
| smw | !xorg.conf | Inumedia | 01:55 |
| ubottu | Inumedia: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 01:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | Inumedia, if you are using open source drivers, it's all done automajically now | 01:55 |
| Blackadder | running perfect thoug on other 3 server | 01:55 |
| smw | Inumedia, it figures out the system at boot. It does not need xorg.conf | 01:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | Inumedia, it is of course possible to create one if needed | 01:56 |
| Blackadder | X server takes a lot out of the resources purged it. Best to have everything done SSH | 01:56 |
| rcconf | is there a way to make network-manager to stop resetting spoofed mac address? | 01:57 |
| rcconf | (i know it has a built in spoof option which doesnt work with wpa) | 01:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | rcconf, (i don't know anything about spoofed macs) but have you considered using WICD instead of nm-applet? something to consider. Or you could set up your networks the manual way. Best of luck. | 01:58 |
| fajar2408 | hmm | 01:59 |
| aj91193 | does anyone have a site with a full ubuntu reinstall iso? | 01:59 |
| Alsen | wow, many people.. | 01:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | aj91193, "reinstall iso" is that different from a regular LiveCD? | 02:00 |
| Darwon | what do you guys set your swappiness to ? | 02:00 |
| Cheez | Anyone have any idea why ports wouldnt open up? | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | aj91193: the install CD is the reinstall ISO | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Darwon: usually about 5 | 02:00 |
| edbian | Cheez: you have a router / firewall | 02:00 |
| Cheez | I know | 02:01 |
| aj91193 | i dont have a specific cd that came with it, i downloaded it off the internet, so i dont know | 02:01 |
| Cheez | They used to open fine... then they just stoped working | 02:01 |
| Axlin|MB | Darwon: 1 GB on my desktop with 4 GB of RAM, and 2 GB on my laptop with 2 GB of RAM. if you want to hibernate, you'll need swap to equal RAM | 02:01 |
| Cheez | The connection times out when i test them with canyouseeme.org | 02:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Darwon: i only chat and web browse and have 2Gb ram in the systems I do it in so I have enough ram. swappiness will need evaluating on use | 02:01 |
| semitones | I'm trying to get two ubuntu computers on the same LAN to share files. Right now they both say they're sharing, but they both can't see the other's share. Any ideas? | 02:01 |
| Darwon | thank you ActionParsnip, I have mine at default on the 512 RAM, and 0 on the 4 Gig, and I will set it to 5 on the 2 Gig | 02:01 |
| edbian | Cheez: What do you mean? Are we talking about a router or a firewall? | 02:01 |
| aj91193 | i just want something that will totally reboot or re-put ubuntu back on my desktop | 02:01 |

| smw | leapy0yo, userdel or use the gui | 02:02 |
| Cheez | I have ports opened for a server with a wired connection, and it works fine. But when i try to forward them with my laptop (wireless) they dont work,, and no one can connect to the server | 02:02 |
| pehden | Cheez is the server using a static IP | 02:03 |
| edbian | Cheez: Are you forwarding the port to the correct IP address? (the IP of the laptop) | 02:03 |
| Darwon | Im getting my boxes ready for the 28th | 02:03 |
| xtbgod | >.< | 02:03 |
| === xtbgod is now known as xD | ||
| Cheez | Yea its a dynamic ip. and i forwarded to the right internal IP. I know how to port forward and everything, but for some reason it just stopped working. | 02:03 |

| ActionParsnip | leapy0yo: sudo rmuser username | 02:04 |
| aj91193 | soo, any ideas? | 02:04 |
| semitones | How can I make it so two computers can ping each other | 02:04 |
| edbian | Cheez: What service are you running on the laptop? Do you have a firewall running on it? | 02:04 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, why rmuser vs userdel? | 02:04 |
| Cheez | yes i do have a firewall, but it is unblocking the port | 02:05 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, command not found | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: not sure, should do the same thing afaik | 02:05 |
| smw | ActionParsnip, I got a cmd not found | 02:05 |
| DShepherd | semitones, how are the two computer connected? | 02:05 |
| edbian | Cheez: For the sake of argument why don't you turn the firewall off on the laptop. | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | smw: so it is, my bad | 02:05 |
| semitones | DShepherd, they are on the same LAN, sharing a router | 02:05 |
| Cheez | Ok... but i think this is something wrong with my router :/ | 02:05 |
| ActionParsnip | leapy0yo: if you add the -r switch, it will remove the users $HOME folder too :) | 02:05 |
| Cheez | Because the firewall has never caused me problems when port forwarding | 02:06 |
| DShepherd | semitones, is the router offering ipaddresses to the machines? | 02:06 |
| DShepherd | dhcp* | 02:06 |
| semitones | DShepherd, yes | 02:06 |
| edbian | Cheez: Well can you connect to your server (on the laptop) from another machine on the LAN ? | 02:06 |
| rcconf | how do i know if this network manager issue was fixed in naty? | 02:06 |
| rcconf | natty | 02:06 |
| Cheez | Yea i can | 02:06 |
| Cheez | wait | 02:06 |
| Blackadder | DHCP no good for server u must allocate a static IP on your lan m8 | 02:06 |
| Cheez | yea using a direct url | 02:06 |
| DShepherd | semitones, do you know the ip address of each machine? | 02:06 |
| Blackadder | no wonder its blocking forwarded ports | 02:07 |

| semitones | DShepherd, no, what's that? | 02:10 |
| ActionParsnip | phoenixsampras: do you mean like a ppa? | 02:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | Inumedia, i've never had to config a touchpad. sorry, no suggestions. | 02:11 |
| phoenixsampras | ActionParsnip: yeh | 02:11 |
| Inumedia | Why does my cursor move faster left/right than up/down when I use my touchpad. It seems to be in relation to my screen resolution and is not the same for a normal USB mouse. | 02:11 |
| Cheez | any ideas? | 02:11 |
| DShepherd | semitones, you are using ubuntu right? | 02:12 |
| semitones | DShepherd, yes, both have ubuntu | 02:12 |
| Cheez | edbian: do you think there might be something wrong with my router? i just reinstalled the firmware, and it didnt fix it | 02:12 |
| DShepherd | semitones, tracepath [ip address] #that will give you an idea if its stuff is going past the router | 02:13 |
| phoenixsampras | ActionParsnip: i want to upgrade my cacti install to the latest one | 02:13 |
| DShepherd | semitones, do you mind sharing the ip address and subnet mask of your setup? | 02:13 |

| semitones | sure, 192.168.1.7, and probably 255.255.255.0 | 02:14 |
| semitones | or .255 | 02:14 |
| DShepherd | semitones, does it work from the other side also? | 02:14 |

| wizo | does the doc site only work for local hosts? | 02:31 |
| Tempus_Fugit | why is it that once you unmount the sdcard reader that it wont read another until you reboot....how do I make it manually look for another sdcard thats been inserted?? | 02:31 |
| trist | i was using it to get ubuntu installed and so i could load tthe graphics driver but it still black screens | 02:31 |
| Acid190 | zebastianortis: is there a force option? | 02:32 |
| Kijutsu | lucas_: did you get a blank 32k partition at the beginning of your drive? | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | trist: what video chip? | 02:32 |
| zebastianortis | how do you mean Acid190? | 02:32 |
| trist | gforce g210 | 02:32 |
| ActionParsnip | trist: add the bootoption: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 02:32 |
| Tempus_Fugit | how do you mount an sdcard manually | 02:33 |
| wizo | a less of sites-enabled/mysite shows that document root is at /home/user/public_html =/ | 02:33 |
| lucas_ | Kijitsu: nope... I just created a new partition table from scratch (under Device-Create partition table) | 02:33 |
| trist | thanks di i replace nouveau.blacklist=1 with the quite splash | 02:34 |
| lucas_ | Kijitsu: But I don't know if this is a new way of WD of doing things. When did you get that drive? | 02:34 |
| phoenixsampras | How do I use software from a PPA on Ubuntu 10.10 ? | 02:34 |
| Kijutsu | lucas_: yesterday | 02:34 |
| ActionParsnip | trist: yes | 02:34 |
| zebastianortis | i dont get why my camera card is locked | 02:34 |
| zebastianortis | how do i unlock it, when i try to delete stuff it says read only system, i dont remember this from before | 02:35 |
| Kijutsu | lucas_: to be 100% honest, I bought two 2tbs.. I don't even know if my boot drive is properly partitioned or not. | 02:35 |
| trist | thanks ill try no | 02:35 |
| Inumedia | Why does my cursor move faster left/right than up/down when I use my touchpad? It seems to be in relation to my screen resolution and is not the same for a normal USB mouse. | 02:35 |
| XP1 | is it possible to pad a file with another file using dd? | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: what make / model is the laptop? | 02:35 |
| Inumedia | Toshiba Satelite L305d-S5928 | 02:36 |
| leapy0yo | i installed sabnzbd but I cannot login to the website unless I use 127.0.0.1 instead of the internet ip | 02:36 |
| Addalaide | the icons on my left side panel arnt showing up correctly can anyone help? | 02:36 |
| Inumedia | It uses a synaptic touchpad which is recognized correctly. | 02:36 |
| lucas_ | Kijitsu: I got it a year ago. Advanced Formatting was in his early stages. Anyway... Another thing you could do is to boot your comp using windows 7 DVD. At the setup you can ask to format the drives. WD says that win7 doesn't need any stuff like aligning utilities | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: try turning off tap to click, may help | 02:37 |
| Inumedia | But what does that have to do with the cursor movement? | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: also can you pastebin the output of: lsmod | 02:38 |
| Kijutsu | lucas_: Love to... 'cept its running on a PPC, and I don't have any PCs that will boot Windows 7 properly because of anceitny hardware | 02:38 |
| yuskhanzab | hello all, is there any winamp ver. for ubuntu? | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: it may affect it, its a quick thing to test | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !winamp | yuskhanzab | 02:38 |
| ubottu | yuskhanzab: winamp is a windows music player. On Ubuntu you can use audacious as alternative. | 02:38 |
| Inumedia | k, one second | 02:38 |
| Inumedia | Doesn't seem to effect it | 02:38 |
| yuskhanzab | audacious | 02:38 |
| yuskhanzab | yeah thanks | 02:38 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||

| phoenixsampras | ActionParsnip: how to add app on ubuntu 10.04 ? | 02:39 |
| lucas_ | Kijutsu: oups... Then I would go with a live cd from Natty Beta2. Or just wait 'till 28th when the official release comes out. From the live cd you can use gparted | 02:39 |
| ActionParsnip | phoenixsampras: how do you mean? | 02:40 |
| yuskhanzab | ubottu, is there skin so that i can change looks like the winamp in windows? | 02:40 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:40 |
| phoenixsampras | ActionParsnip: i want to use the lastest pack of cacti on my ubuntu, from launchpad | 02:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: try: options psmouse proto=imps or options psmouse proto=bare in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | phoenixsampras: then add the ppa | 02:41 |
| Inumedia | One second. | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: you can then run: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sudo modprobe psmouse | 02:41 |
| phoenixsampras | ActionParsnip: how to ? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cacti | 02:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: try them individually :) | 02:41 |
| Inumedia | I'm not finding psmouse.conf | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | phoenixsampras: which release are you using? | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: you won't you make the file | 02:42 |
| phoenixsampras | ActionParsnip: 10.04 ubuntuserver | 02:42 |
| Inumedia | Okay, one second. | 02:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: those files add extra options to the modules when you load them | 02:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: some weird hardware needs extra options to work nice | 02:43 |
| Inumedia | Hold on | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | phoenixsampras: the version listed there is the one in the lucid repos | 02:44 |
| Inumedia | Should I restart anything upon creating+editing psmouse.conf? | 02:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: run: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sudo modprobe psmouse | 02:45 |
| Inumedia | My touchpad doesn't work anymore D; | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: if it doesn't work, re-edit the file and retry the other option I gave (delete the old text first) | 02:46 |
| Inumedia | Touchpad still not working | 02:47 |
| Teeko | hi | 02:47 |
| Inumedia | Oh wait | 02:47 |
| Inumedia | It works now | 02:47 |
| Teeko | anyone not busy wanna lend me a hand? :P | 02:47 |
| Inumedia | And seems to be at the correct aspect ratio? =o | 02:47 |
| Inumedia | Seems to be slow as shit too, but it's at the same aspect ratio now | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: so the option you used was necessary for your hadware | 02:48 |
| Inumedia | But now touchpad is gone from Mouse Preferences and it's really slow | 02:48 |
| Teeko | hm i keep getting an error when trying to install ubuntu alongside windows | 02:48 |
| Teeko | there a problem with it in win7 on AMD or something? | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: look for other options you can add to the module, one may make it nice | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: you may also be able to simply increase the mouse speed in the mouse settings to make up for the slowness | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: how did you kick off the install? | 02:49 |
| Teeko | the wubi.exe file | 02:49 |
| gaelfx | I'm trying to buy a USB3.0 card, but I'm not sure if it needs to have a power connector to function fully or not. My options are a card that has a power connector and one that doesn't, which one should I get? | 02:49 |
| Teeko | it didnt autorun :/ | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: ok what issue are you having? | 02:50 |
| Teeko | just says it has an error and it wrote it to a .log file, i looked at the file, but tbh its all greek to me. | 02:50 |
| lxd | hello | 02:50 |
| Teeko | when installing, it just stops and doesnt install, says it has an error and wrote to the .log file | 02:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: if you use win7 to resize its own partition and install ubuntu to the free space you will have fewer issues | 02:50 |
| Teeko | i just wanna test it out tbh | 02:51 |
| Teeko | i havent used ubuntu in a looong time | 02:51 |
| * KM0201 agrees w/ ActionParsnip if you've got WIn 7 or Vista, use it to partition the drive. | 02:51 | |
| Teeko | prolly gonna install it on my other computer but wanted to test it | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: then you could download the install ISO, MD5 test it and use a virtual system in virtualbox for example | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | I just backed up 896GB of files from a ext4 filesystem to a NTFS filesystem and the output of df -h, reports 1 GB differance. Is that due to rounding/blocksize/filesystem differances most likely? | 02:51 |
| wizo | can someone help me debug why my document root doesnt seem to work after following the docs here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Virtual%20Hosts | 02:51 |
| Inumedia | ActionParsnip: Do you have a list of options for psmouse? | 02:51 |
| Teeko | i have the instal ISO, and put it on a disc. thats what im running this from | 02:52 |
| Inumedia | I need to increase the sensitivity substantially :P | 02:52 |
| KM0201 | Teeko, so whatrs the problem? | 02:52 |
| Inumedia | And get my scrolling back | 02:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: i just websearched and found those, the proto=imps one is good for sony viaos I have noticed | 02:52 |
| Teeko | ok one sec lemme make it do it again :P | 02:52 |
| Inumedia | It seems to work with both imps and bare | 02:52 |
| Teeko | ok ran the wubi.exe file from the install CD | 02:53 |
| Teeko | create username/password | 02:53 |
| Teeko | it starts extracting | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 02:54 |
| Teeko | MD5 test? | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | Teeko | 02:54 |
| ubottu | Teeko: 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 | 02:54 |
| SpyvsSpy | hi where do usb thumbdrives mount to in ubuntu? | 02:54 |
| SpyvsSpy | is it /media/usb? | 02:54 |
| Teeko | its on a DVD fresh iso created and burned to it | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | SpyvsSpy: run: mount it will tel you | 02:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: doesn't matter, did you test the ISO? | 02:55 |
| SpyvsSpy | im away from my ubuntu box | 02:55 |
| Teeko | no i didnt test, lemme read that page and test it. | 02:55 |
| SpyvsSpy | and Im writing a script, and I cant remeber where it mounts | 02:55 |
| manekineko_ | I've got an ext2 loop image file, and I want to use it to recreate a partition without any permissions or other strange problems, what's the easiest way I could do so? | 02:55 |
| chr0n0 | been a while since I was in, but I have always liked the name ActionParsnip lol | 02:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: then you have no way of knowing if the data you are using is complete or error free | 02:55 |
| manekineko_ | if I just mount the file, and copy using nautilus are there any foreseeable problems? | 02:56 |
| Aamir | common/packet.cc:44: error: conflicting declaration ‘char** p_info::name_’ | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | manekineko_: you want to copy all files from the loop image, to a real filesystem/drive. the cp command with proper arguments can do that. | 02:56 |
| Aamir | i am getting these errors while installing mac 802.16 in ns2 | 02:57 |
| Aamir | common/packet.cc:44: error: conflicting declaration ‘char** p_info::name_’ | 02:57 |
| manekineko_ | Dr_Willis: so if I do a recursive cp as root, are there any foreseeable problems with permissions or anything? | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | manekineko_: mount it via mount with the loop option. (sounds like you did that) then use sudo cp with the proper arguments. I cant recall what ones to use. or use tar and the proper arguments to copy the files. | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | manekineko_: you need more then just 'cp' i recall. | 02:57 |
| trist | hey guys im back work perfectly | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | manekineko_: theres a 'keep permissions/owner' option | 02:58 |
| trist | thanks now all i need to do is get y wifi working | 02:58 |
| manekineko_ | oh interesting, I'll look at the man page for cp | 02:58 |
| Teeko | ok i did the md5 test | 02:58 |
| Teeko | says checksums are different | 02:58 |
| tjiggi_fo | SpyvsSpy, I'm on 10.04 and mine mounts to /media/name_of_USB | 02:58 |
| KM0201 | Teeko, also, stop messing w/ Wubi.. if you want to install Linux, partition your drive and do it right. | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | manekineko_: i recall tar also being used for this. | 02:58 |
| chr0n0 | i got a simple question here, or so I would imagine...I was the only user on my box til recently, and I went to add a user. When I log in, all of my drives are mounted, or at least available to be mounted from the places menu. When the new user logs in, only two of the 4 mounts are available to her. The drive partition in question is ntfs. Is this just super easy? I don't know if I am wording it very well for google. :) | 02:58 |
| Teeko | im not installing on this computer, just wanna get a feel for it before i install it on my other computer | 02:59 |
| SpyvsSpy | thanks | 02:59 |
| hiexpo | nvidia did a spectacular job on the new driver amazing | 02:59 |
| KM0201 | Teeko, so boot the live CD.. thats what tis for. | 02:59 |
| RandomUser128 | hiexpo, you must be joking!? their drivers are always awful... | 02:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: then the image you used is bad | 02:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: you need to redownload and re-test | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | chr0n0: the ntfs-config tool can set up ntfs filesystems where all users can access them fully. but last i used the tool it was a little flakey. it would work.but crash on exit) | 02:59 |
| Teeko | i run a teamspeak server and a website from that computer and i wanted to just see how ubuntu is nowadays before i install it on there | 02:59 |
| Inumedia | ActionParsnip: Do you know where I can find some information on /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf? | 03:00 |
| Teeko | thanks action. lemme see how that works | 03:00 |
| KM0201 | Teeko, but beyond that, if the md5's don't match, the ISO is bad, download again... but se.rious.. don't do wubi | 03:00 |
| trist | i have an 802.11 wirless lan card by railink anyone help me with drivers | 03:00 |
| hiexpo | RandomUser128, no i am not i was in shock also and it is fast | 03:00 |
| KM0201 | Teeko, ok.. u've been warned | 03:00 |
| Inumedia | Or would that not be the correct area to fix my verticle/horizontal scroll + readding it to the mouse preferences | 03:00 |
| Teeko | lol | 03:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: it's not the filename you need to worry about. You can call it ANYTHING you want, as long as it ends in .conf | 03:00 |
| Teeko | i dont plan on using ubunto on this comp for long | 03:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Inumedia: look for options on the psmouse module | 03:00 |
| Teeko | just for the other comp permanently | 03:00 |
| * KM0201 sits on hands.. won't waste the energy.. | 03:00 | |
| chr0n0 | Dr_Willis: I just got an application called Storage Device Manager, is it anything like that? | 03:01 |
| Inumedia | Okay thanks. | 03:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: you need to redownload the image, I suggest you use torrents | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | chr0n0: ntfs-config is not installed byt default i recall | 03:01 |
| RandomUser128 | I made the switch to ubuntu a few months back, and I haven't looked back since Teeko | 03:01 |
| Teeko | otherwise i would just install it in a new partition and get rid of windows | 03:01 |
| RandomUser128 | you gotta give it a chance :) | 03:01 |
| Teeko | yeah but linux cant run the like only game i play online | 03:01 |
| KM0201 | Teeko, thats a recipe for disaster.. | 03:01 |
| Teeko | i play one game, and it cant run it. | 03:01 |

| top_ramen | would by ubuntu unleashed book that covers 10.4 have the same cmd and what not for 10.10 and 11.4?? | 03:05 |
| top_ramen | my* | 03:06 |
| ActionParsnip | top_ramen: pretty much | 03:06 |
| escott | top_ramen, the main differences in 11.04 are the gui | 03:06 |
| top_ramen | just a different gui | 03:06 |
| top_ramen | right | 03:06 |
| top_ramen | so the terminal cmd are the the same | 03:06 |
| top_ramen | its been since 10.4 since i played with ubuntu.... NEED to get back into it | 03:07 |
| top_ramen | I left beause there was no support for my digitizer pen software..... run it on a tablet PC | 03:07 |
| ActionParsnip | top_ramen: yeah the commands will be extremely similar if not identical | 03:08 |
| top_ramen | do you know if there is support for a tablet pc digitizer pen in the new 10.10 or 11.4 | 03:09 |
| escott | top_ramen, google for your pen brand | 03:09 |
| ActionParsnip | top_ramen: or run livecd and test | 03:11 |
| ActionParsnip | top_ramen: if its usb based then run: lsusb and websearch for the usb ID (8 character hex id) | 03:11 |
| Inumedia | Okay. I'm going to make a 5$ bet that I'm going to have to remove what I just did from xorg.conf. Now to reboot and test it out. =D | 03:11 |

| rww | what | 03:21 |
| Teeko | why would the iso file from ubuntu.com have the wrong checksum? was it just a fluke in the actual download of the file? | 03:21 |
| rww | Teeko: Yup. Something went wrong between the Ubuntu download servers and you. Generally, it's on your end ;) | 03:21 |
| rww | I use Bittorrent, since it automatically checks each bit of the ISO file. | 03:21 |
| Teeko | lol my internets funny sometimes, so not really suprising | 03:21 |
| Logan_ | !lubuntu | kaattaa | 03:21 |
| ubottu | kaattaa: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 03:21 |
| === horus is now known as Guest56459 | ||
| Teeko | yeah thats what i just did when they told me about it | 03:21 |
| Teeko | they should have more download options listed, you have to kinda search for the torrents and additional download places | 03:22 |
| Bullterd | Evening All. | 03:22 |
| === Guest56459 is now known as Darwon | ||
| Teeko | sad thing is i didnt know about the md5check so i wasted a DVD lol. thats the worst part of the failed iso :( | 03:23 |
| Bullterd | If I have a log file for a vhost setup as /var/www/domain.name/stats/access_log | 03:23 |
| Bullterd | how would I go about tail'ing all access_log files? | 03:23 |
| leapy0yo | is there a log of everything in /var/log? | 03:23 |
| Bullterd | I tried tail -f /var/www/vhosts/*/stats/access_log but that didnt work :( | 03:23 |
| escott | Bullterd, tail -f | 03:23 |
| kaattaa | Logan_, it would be helpful info u just gave me if anyone was awake at #lubuntu... cuz i asked there first about 45 min ago | 03:23 |
| escott | Bullterd, there may be a multitail or try screen with multiple tails | 03:24 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| Teeko | damn autoplay sucks | 03:26 |
| quiescens | Bullterd: tail -f (file) -f (file) probably works, otherwise apt-get install multitail like escott suggested | 03:29 |
| Teeko | yay worked that time | 03:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: funny how Md5 testing shows bad images eh | 03:32 |
| tbruff13 | Hey does any one know how to get rid of the wine menu after uninstalling win | 03:32 |
| tbruff13 | wine | 03:32 |
| hiexpo | hola ActionParsnip | 03:33 |
| escott | Bullterd, vaguely remember an mtail as well | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | howdy hiexpo | 03:34 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: you can disable it in alacarte | 03:34 |
| tbruff13 | ok figured it out ActionParsnip I do have another question though I use ffmpeg to convert things to mp3 but ogg wont work i assume that is because ubuntu uses an outdated version of ffmpeg can you help install one that can covert to ogg | 03:35 |
| geegeegee | ok guys, i did chmod 555 /* and now it wont boot | 03:37 |
| escott | tbruff13, or just convert ogg to wav and use that | 03:37 |
| tbruff13 | escott, ogg is the format I want to convert to | 03:37 |
| escott | geegeegee, boot your install disk and fix | 03:38 |
| === lance_ is now known as Guest61008 | ||
| geegeegee | ok, i presumei just do chmod 777 /* to /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* | 03:38 |

| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: so you want to convert from mp3 to ogg? | 03:38 |
| escott | geegeegee, 777 is not the right permission 755 | 03:39 |
| escott | geegeegee, unless you did a chmod -R which would not be good | 03:39 |
| tbruff13 | escott, my version of ffmpeg mp4 to ogg my version of ffmpeg has never heard of ogg I am using the frontend Winff | 03:39 |
| orighost | dose ogg is free? | 03:39 |
| ActionParsnip | orighost: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg | 03:41 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: what are you trying to achieve? | 03:41 |
| tbruff13 | I am trying to use the program Winff to covert an mp4 file to an ogg file the program winff uses ffmpeg to do the converting | 03:42 |
| Teeko | ok wtf install wubi and restart, and no links to open it at all? | 03:42 |
| escott | tbruff13, do ffmpeg to extract to wav then use ogg123 to make the ogg | 03:43 |
| ActionParsnip | !info soundconverter | 03:43 |
| ubottu | soundconverter (source: soundconverter): GNOME application to convert audio files into other formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.4-2 (maverick), package size 107 kB, installed size 916 kB | 03:43 |
| tbruff13 | escott, huh I am using winff to do this there is no ogg123 just ogg | 03:44 |
| hiexpo | tbruff13, you using 10.04 ubuntu ? | 03:44 |
| ActionParsnip | tbruff13: ffmpeg -i input.m4a -acodec vorbis -aq 60 -vn -ac 2 output.ogg | 03:44 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| tbruff13 | no ubuntu 10.10 | 03:44 |
| escott | tbruff13, ogg123 is the standard ogg encoder | 03:45 |
| ActionParsnip | escott: says who? | 03:45 |
| tbruff13 | escott ok how would i set up winff to do this can you get the program and explain it i know its alot of work but please | 03:45 |
| escott | tbruff13, ActionParsnip don't know winff sorry, but I know there is an ogg123 that will encode wav to ogg | 03:46 |
| hiexpo | tbruff13, he just gave you thecommand to do it in the termina l | 03:46 |
| Teeko | does anyone know if theres a way to connect remotely to a linux computer from a windows computer? like RDP would from windows to windows | 03:46 |
| smw | Teeko, ssh, rdesktop, vnc | 03:47 |
| smw | Teeko, you have option | 03:47 |
| smw | options* | 03:47 |
| Teeko | need something pretty basic, just gotta be able to control it without it being super laggy | 03:47 |
| tbruff13 | hiexpo, ok nevermind ill just use mp3 any way do you guys know anything about rockbox the mp3 software | 03:47 |
| hiexpo | tbruff13, no i don't know anything about rockbox myself | 03:48 |
| jhjessup | Teeko: Look at VNC. | 03:48 |
| tbruff13 | ok im out sorry | 03:48 |
| Teeko | think VNC would be the best option? | 03:49 |
| jhjessup | Teeko: Probably. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ubuntu-remote-desktop-builtin-vnc-compatible-dead-easy/ | 03:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: there is no best, depends on needs | 03:50 |
| Teeko | heh thats awesome, thanks alot. | 03:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Teeko: don't vnc over www without an ssh tunnel | 03:50 |
| Teeko | ok that made no sense | 03:51 |
| Teeko | sorry. lol | 03:51 |
| Teeko | whats an SSH tunnel? | 03:51 |
| RJ_F1 | Hey, I'm a registered user, but I was directed to the unregistered channel and requested to do a spambot-check? | 03:53 |
| RJ_F1 | It also states I was not registered? | 03:53 |
| RJ_F1 | What gives? | 03:53 |
| smw | RJ_F1, you may not have been registered at the time | 03:53 |
| _jesse_ | RJ_F1: maybe you joined before it recognized you were registered | 03:54 |
| smw | RJ_F1, when you first login there is some delay | 03:54 |
| bastidrazor | ActionParsnip: you use unbound and dnsmasq, if my memory serves me right.. on the box with the unbound server do you also use dsnmasq for caching? my unbound server is on an actual server | 03:54 |
| jhjessup | Teeko: VNC connections aren't protected with strong enctryption, so it's possible for a third party to intercept VNC communications. Consequently, if you're using VNC on a network with untrusted users (i.e., the internet instead of your home network) you should run it through an encrypted tunnel, like SSH. | 03:54 |
| smw | RJ_F1, put nick:pass as the irc server password and this would be unlikely to happen | 03:54 |
| leapy0yo | hi | 03:55 |
| Teeko | jhjessup, i get that actually :P but i still have absolutely no idea what an SSH tunnel is or how to set one up | 03:55 |
| ebiester | So, I did an upgrade a few days ago, and I just tried to boot back into Windows 7, and the option is gone. os-loader doesn't seem to be picking up the partition now, instead picking up a weird vista psuedo-partition that just reboots. Could somebody /msg me their Win7 info from grub so I can make a custom loader until I can figure out what's going on? | 03:55 |
| RJ_F1 | ebiester:How many partitions do u have | 03:56 |
| smw | Teeko, ssh is the best way to remotely control a linux computer but I am not sure if you can do x forwarding over it. | 03:56 |
| jhjessup | Teeko: Got it. A good overview article is at http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/21/how-to-ssh-tunnels-for-secure-network-access/ | 03:56 |
| smw | Teeko, what do you plan to do with this? | 03:56 |
| smw | Teeko, why do you need this as that may change what I suggest you do. | 03:56 |
| ebiester | Rj_F1: 6. 2 linux, 4 windows, and two of those are funky things Asus did. | 03:57 |
| chaorain | Hey quick question. What partition type is best for videos? (Not Recordings) I'm using Mythtv | 03:57 |
| Teeko | oh um | 03:58 |
| Teeko | i just need to be able to control that computer from anywhere | 03:58 |
| Teeko | when im away from my house, i need to be able to access it | 03:58 |
| smw | Teeko, define control... | 03:58 |
| Teeko | use it as i was sitting right in front of it | 03:58 |
| smw | Teeko, do you want to access files? Run local programs? Take over the whole desktop? | 03:58 |
| Teeko | not just use the files | 03:58 |
| Teeko | take over the desktop | 03:58 |
| Teeko | i use remote desktop on windows now, but im trying to find things out before i set that computer up with linux, so i know what im doing atleast halfheartedly | 03:59 |
| smw | Teeko, in that case VNC and rdesktop are your only options | 03:59 |
| Teeko | which would be faster? | 03:59 |
| Teeko | i dont need many features, but speed is important | 03:59 |
| escott | chaorain, something with extents ext4/btrfs/xfs/zfs | 04:00 |
| smw | Teeko, I don't know. I use ssh to do remote connections... | 04:00 |
| Teeko | ok well what does ssh do? | 04:00 |
| jhjessup | Teeko: I haven't used it, but a couple of my friends really like teamviewer. http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx | 04:00 |
| MaRk-I | !vnc | Teeko | 04:00 |
| ubottu | Teeko: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 04:00 |
| Teeko | er, whats the difference | 04:00 |
| RJ_F1 | hey, what's it mean, connection reset by peer? | 04:01 |
| smw | Teeko, ssh gives you a command line prompt. If you use X forwarding. You can run remote programs very fast. | 04:01 |
| leapy0yo | does the 64bit of ubuntu have more problems than the 32 bit one? does it take more resources or is it supposed to run faster? becasue my refresh rate is not great I get tears now I got this version | 04:01 |
| smw | Teeko, the remote program only shows up on the computer you are on and not the computer the program is actually running on | 04:01 |
| escott | Teeko, ssh and X would be the linux standard way, but would not allow you to take over an existing desktop | 04:01 |
| smw | Teeko, it also provides file access | 04:01 |
| Sasquatch7 | Hi all | 04:02 |
| escott | Teeko, so if you turn the computer on, and log on, you cant use ssh with X forwarding to grab that session. VNC or remote desktop would allow you to take that session | 04:02 |
| smw | Hi Sasquatch7 | 04:02 |
| Sasquatch7 | I'm tempted to install the new 11.04 beta and then upgrade to the final on it's release day...or is it better to just wait for the final release to install? | 04:02 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, truthfully, I would wait a couple of weeks after to install. | 04:03 |
| Sasquatch7 | smw: Really, a couple weeks? Why so? | 04:03 |
| RJ_F1 | There's only like 4 days left or something | 04:03 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, the new one is probably a little buggy. They always rush. | 04:03 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, they feel a need to adhere to the 6month timeline... always | 04:03 |
| leapy0yo | does ubuntu 64 have more issues and problems whereas ubuntu 32 does not have those problems? | 04:04 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, not to mention the fact that the mirrors get loaded down and you can't install packages | 04:04 |
| Sasquatch7 | smw: Oh ok, thanks. What version are you using currently? | 04:04 |
| escott | leapy0yo, the main 64 bit issues are with stuff like flash where the vendor has not provided a 32 bit version. most issues are pretty well ironed out though | 04:04 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, 10.10 | 04:04 |
| POOPHAMMER | question about installing via wubi: i have rebooted out of windows and started the installer, but is has been hanging for about 40 minutes on configuring hardware, is this normal? | 04:04 |
| POOPHAMMER | amd X2 600+ 3 gb of ram if that helps | 04:05 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, whatever the last release is | 04:05 |
| POOPHAMMER | *6000+ | 04:05 |
| Sasquatch7 | smw: Oh ok, and is it alright to do an upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 or is it better to do a fresh install? | 04:05 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, depends on who you talk to. I don't trust upgrades and do a fresh install. Most people don't and seem to be fine. | 04:06 |
| YankDownUnder | What's wrong with doing an upgrade? | 04:06 |
| Sasquatch7 | smw: that's what Ive heard too. | 04:06 |
| _jesse_ | leapy0yo: not that I know of, 64bit runs fine for me | 04:06 |
| Sasquatch7 | YankDownUnder: Yea that's what I'm questioning :) | 04:06 |
| YankDownUnder | Most of the time, an upgrade merely mucks up customisations - and/or programs you've compiled on your own...otherwise, it's not a bad means by which to move upwards... | 04:06 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, the party line is that they are perfectly fine. I had issues (years ago) because I tried to update when the repos were overloaded. | 04:06 |
| POOPHAMMER | i am also kinda afraid to reboot out of this installer to prevent file system damage | 04:06 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, since then I have used it as a perfect time to cleanse my system of all the mistakes I have made. | 04:07 |
| tripelb | anyone know how to do a bulletpoint with a simple solid circle (vanilla) in abiword (there's no abiword channel) | 04:07 |
| YankDownUnder | Sasquatch7, If you're doing a minor upgrade (single version upwards) you should be right as rain. if you're trying to do something like upgrade from 9.10 or something like that, well, expect major issues... | 04:07 |
| Sasquatch7 | smw: Ha good thinking. | 04:07 |
| leapy0yo | i686 is 32 bit or 64 bit? | 04:07 |
| jhjessup | leapy0yo: 32-bit. | 04:08 |
| rww | leapy0yo: 32-bit | 04:08 |
| Sasquatch7 | YankDownUnder: Oh ok, no it will probably be an upgrade from the beta to 11.04...I'm currently using Win7 :) | 04:08 |
| YankDownUnder | I'm waiting for 72-bit desktop edition. Cuz it's 8 more than 64! | 04:08 |
| YankDownUnder | Sasquatch7, Windows 7? Sorry about that. :) | 04:08 |
| RJ_F1 | Lol. how about 128-bit processors, anyone want one, I got a nice hookup | 04:08 |
| smw | YankDownUnder, actually they go by powers of two. I am waiting for 256bit personally | 04:08 |
| RJ_F1 | Octa-core 128bit processor. | 04:08 |
| POOPHAMMER | :/ anyone? | 04:09 |
| Sasquatch7 | YankDownUnder: haha, it's not too bad...but dying to get back into ubuntu | 04:09 |
| sunxiaojian | hah | 04:09 |
| YankDownUnder | POOPHAMMER, Obviously you're having an issue - having repeated yourself several times. What's the issue? | 04:09 |
| smw | POOPHAMMER, many people here don't know wubi | 04:10 |
| RJ_F1 | Oh, hey, I can help | 04:10 |
| Teeko | or like it, ive learned :p | 04:10 |
| YankDownUnder | Wubi? Nah - not me. | 04:10 |
| Teeko | my wubi just didnt work | 04:10 |
| Sasquatch7 | me no like wubi | 04:10 |
| odst0016 | wubi gave me issues | 04:10 |
| Teeko | installed it, and it had no links to start, couldnt find an exe file, etc etc | 04:10 |
| POOPHAMMER | well i am just wondering if it is typical for it to hang on the configuring hardware part for about an hour now | 04:10 |
| YankDownUnder | I prefer wasabi. | 04:10 |
| smw | POOPHAMMER, wubi is most often used by people who are new to ubuntu or who are developing wubi. | 04:10 |
| RJ_F1 | mine sort of worked.. Separate partiion is better | 04:10 |
| Sasquatch7 | POOPHAMMER: No, that is probably not normal at all. | 04:11 |
| RJ_F1 | and no. it is not typical. | 04:11 |
| POOPHAMMER | well i had a disaster with GRUB when i tried to make a partition | 04:11 |
| RJ_F1 | yeah, that happens too. | 04:11 |
| POOPHAMMER | so i didnt want to do that again | 04:11 |
| YankDownUnder | POOPHAMMER, 1.) you're running under Windows; HAL is a confusing bit in the best of times, so why even bother? | 04:11 |
| smw | POOPHAMMER, the people who are new to ubuntu are rarely able to help others so it is very hard to get support for wubi in irc. | 04:11 |
| RJ_F1 | Yank: HAL 2000??? | 04:11 |
| YankDownUnder | Hard to get support for Wubi from folks that don't run Windows...(for a long long time) | 04:11 |
| rww | YankDownUnder: Wubi doesn't run Ubuntu under Windows, it runs Ubuntu from a loopback partition on an NTFS filesystem using the Windows bootloader. | 04:11 |
| rww | Windows is not running when Ubuntu is ;P | 04:12 |
| YankDownUnder | HAL...hehehehehehe | 04:12 |
| rww | also, HAL is deprecated in current versions of Ubuntu | 04:12 |
| RJ_F1 | Hardware abstraction is lame. | 04:12 |
| YankDownUnder | rww, Thanks, learn something new every day. I don't do Windows here - and my clients I migrate to either Ubuntu or MacOSX...ergo, I don't do Windows. | 04:12 |
| rww | I don't do Wubi, personally. I just know how it works ;) | 04:12 |
| odst0016 | the only reason i have windows on my laptop is my intel integrated hd graphics card must be able to play games and thats the only way i know how | 04:13 |
| POOPHAMMER | idk about doing a partition again, GRUB really messed me up last time | 04:13 |
| smw | rww, I think wubi was a horrible mistake because it makes support impossible. Anyone who normally helps has never used it | 04:13 |
| YankDownUnder | I've my preferences for backing up the entire disk, repartitioning as per MY desires, THEN using a nice liveCD or liveUSB to do my installations... | 04:13 |
| POOPHAMMER | wiped out my windows boot and had to reinstall | 04:13 |
| === RaiBot5 is now known as RaiBot | ||
| escott | POOPHAMMER, i've never had that problem with grub, we can take you through a normal install | 04:14 |
| POOPHAMMER | i think i am just going to try to repartition | 04:14 |
| POOPHAMMER | and do a normal install and try my luck | 04:14 |
| Sasquatch7 | Is software similar to Xming on Windows needed in Linux? Or what is it's equivalent? | 04:14 |
| odst0016 | why not just shrink your drive through windows | 04:14 |
| POOPHAMMER | last time was with Debian so maybe Ubuntu wont mess me up | 04:14 |
| Sasquatch7 | POOPHAMMER: Good luck! | 04:14 |
| POOPHAMMER | i only did Debian because i am familiar with it through doing server stuffs via ssh so i thought i would like it for a desktop | 04:15 |
| POOPHAMMER | but not after that GRUB disaster | 04:15 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, Xming is a port of what is already on linux | 04:15 |
| Sasquatch7 | smw: Ok, thanks. | 04:15 |
| POOPHAMMER | i might pop back in tomorrow when i do this, for now i am just going to shut down and go to bed | 04:15 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, Xming is the windows version of what linux uses for graphics. It comes with ubuntu desktop | 04:15 |
| POOPHAMMER | thanks anyway guys | 04:16 |
| Sasquatch7 | smw: Xserver? | 04:16 |
| ahmedhelal | hello, am trying to install a driver for my clickpad on hp envy 15: using the fix in here : http://linuxenvy.blogspot.com/2011/01/touchpad-fixed.html however am getting an error when installing the deb file : http://pastebin.com/NYTuXzXP , any idea ? | 04:16 |
| smw | Sasquatch7, correct. All linux DESKTOPS have X installed. | 04:16 |
| Sasquatch7 | smw: Thanks :) | 04:17 |
| Tremwar | so do macs... but it's just not the same... | 04:17 |
| Tremwar | I take that back, it's an optional install on macs... | 04:17 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, why are you running a pae kernel for an envy? | 04:18 |
| Tremwar | I thought the pae kernel was for more than 3Gigs of memory | 04:18 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: i just installed ubuntu from original iso | 04:18 |
| ahmedhelal | i have 4gb of memory on that envy | 04:19 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, was it your intention not to run 64bit or just accidental | 04:19 |
| dr_Willis | i thought it was for 4+GB of ram. | 04:19 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, most people with core i-series are probably running 64bit | 04:20 |
| odst0016 | i have i5 running 64bit | 04:20 |
| Tremwar | yeah, it's for goobers(like me) who installed the 32bit version on accident | 04:20 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: is this whats causing the problem anyway ? | 04:20 |
| Teeko | anyone know what the ubuntu remote desktop port is? | 04:21 |
| ahmedhelal | cause i just tried the natty 64bit version installation before this one and installion failed for same reason | 04:21 |
| Teeko | well what it defaults to atleast | 04:21 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, probably. the guy who made this deb probably made it for a 64bit kernel and never tested on 32bit | 04:21 |
| odst0016 | what was the reason | 04:21 |
| Tremwar | yeah, if the driver is 64-bit then that's the problem | 04:21 |
| dr_Willis | teeko if its normal vnc ports its like 5900 +1 for each new instance/desktop | 04:21 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: i just tested it on 64bit kernel of natty warwhale and it failed for same error | 04:21 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, and really why buy a core i and not take advantage of the 64bit nature of it | 04:22 |
| Teeko | thanks willis | 04:22 |
| dr_Willis | teeko i hink thats the default vbnc pors. | 04:22 |
| dr_Willis | vnc ports | 04:22 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: i thougth the deb didnt run because of the 64bit version, so i installed my 10.10 32 bit for that | 04:22 |
| ahmedhelal | i can revert back to 64 but am more interested to get my clickpad working i really cant use the pc at all | 04:22 |
| odst0016 | do you have a vaio | 04:23 |
| ahmedhelal | odst0016: its hp envy 15 | 04:23 |
| escott | try and figure out what these people are running, if they are using 10.10 64bit which would be most common use that until upstream synaptics gets the required patches | 04:23 |
| fisix | does anybody know why i can't receive emoticons on pidgin? it appears as the red cross out sign (kinda like the non-smoking symbol) on a black rectangle | 04:23 |
| odst0016 | ok i had the clickpad issue on my vaio until the .28 kernel i think | 04:23 |
| escott | its either that or figure out how to deal with kernel interface changes | 04:24 |
| === lilstevie|lagche is now known as lilstevie | ||
| ahmedhelal | escott: kernel interface changes .. i dont know even whats that lol | 04:24 |
| Tremwar | can you download the tar? you could see if there are any options on the ./configure... | 04:25 |
| escott | exactly my point :) | 04:25 |
| ahmedhelal | Tremwar: there is only a .deb file no tar there | 04:25 |
| Tremwar | hmmmm... that sucks | 04:25 |
| Tremwar | I really hate driver issues... | 04:26 |
| theholder | Hi i am having issues with my Compaq Presario CQ61 my microphone is not working at all | 04:26 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, if i could only steal my girlfriends envy i would love to try this... but she won't let me touch it | 04:26 |
| theholder | but my output sound is working | 04:26 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: i really regret buying the envy | 04:26 |
| Tremwar | I think the whole world would have already switched to mac if it wasn't for drivers... | 04:26 |
| ahmedhelal | 100% regret, u shud see the bios on it | 04:26 |
| Tremwar | err switched to linux | 04:26 |
| ahmedhelal | 0 control !, the most editing u can do is boot order and system clock | 04:27 |
| Tremwar | eh, mac too | 04:27 |
| ahmedhelal | i was trying to install mac on my envy actually but failed | 04:27 |
| escott | it sure is pretty though | 04:27 |
| Tremwar | I'm running a dual boot MBP | 04:27 |
| ahmedhelal | i did on my desktop though, its pretty cool , right from retail disk | 04:27 |
| odst0016 | im going to try to install mac on my vaio tomorrow for the fun of it | 04:27 |
| Tremwar | OS X and Ubuntu 10.10 | 04:27 |
| odst0016 | the only prob i should have is my graphics card | 04:27 |
| ahmedhelal | odst0016: ati ? | 04:28 |
| Tremwar | Ubuntu is pretty good with graphics cards... | 04:28 |
| Tremwar | I would be worried about wireless | 04:28 |
| hiexpo | Tremwar, what driver you trying to find >? | 04:28 |
| Tremwar | that's always my problem | 04:28 |
| Tremwar | I've given up for now, it's the same old broadcom mess... | 04:29 |
| ahmedhelal | Tremwar: my wifi seems to be detected well, as i can see all wifi spots around me listed | 04:29 |
| Tremwar | It works, I just can't use it for Kismet... e.i no monitor mode | 04:29 |
| ahmedhelal | however i cant connect to any of them even unencrypted ones :S | 04:29 |
| ahmedhelal | Tremwar: do u think its a driver issue too ? | 04:29 |
| Tremwar | it's a known issue for broadcom cards | 04:30 |
| ahmedhelal | i think its a broadcom yes | 04:30 |
| Tremwar | last computers I've had have had broadcom wifi... | 04:30 |
| ahmedhelal | any fixes ? | 04:30 |
| hiexpo | Tremwar, didyacheck aircrack's site | 04:30 |
| Tremwar | there are a few, but they very from site to site.. | 04:31 |
| Tremwar | and it turned out to be such a iffy hack that I opted against it | 04:31 |
| Tremwar | it was a solution, followed by, and if that doesn't work.... and if that doesn't work... and if you are still having problems... | 04:32 |
| fisix | does anybody know why i can't receive emoticons on pidgin? it appears as the red cross out sign (kinda like the non-smoking symbol) on a black rectangle. from other users it just appears to me as plaintext | 04:32 |

| Tremwar | BIOS | 04:43 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | bios reports "missing operating system" | 04:43 |
| Tremwar | check your BIOS boot order | 04:43 |
| dr_Willis | how did you make the stick spaz? | 04:43 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: "dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/stick" | 04:44 |
| dr_Willis | spax thats the problem then.. thats not how you do it | 04:44 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: heard that would be fine. | 04:44 |
| dr_Willis | spaz not for ubuntu iso . some disrtos can do it that way.. but not ubuntu | 04:45 |
| ahmedhelal | escott, Tremwar dep worked on 10.10 64bit flawlessly , but now am not sure about updates, should i run system updates or that might break what i installed ? | 04:45 |
| dr_Willis | use tool from pendrivelinux web site. or the usb-disk creator tool. | 04:45 |
| Tremwar | It shouldn't... | 04:45 |
| dr_Willis | or unetbootin, or any of dozen other tools to do it :) | 04:46 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, you are probably ok as long as the kernel version doesn't change too much | 04:46 |
| marcio_ | 88 | 04:46 |
| ahmedhelal | you mean if i dont update from 10.10 to the kernel of 11.04 ? | 04:46 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: Ah, ok. Either way, my ultimate goal is to get slackware and win7 dual boot on my desktop, but neither want to boot off of CDs, and neither work on USB sticks either. Ubuntu LiveCD and Puppy Linux (cd or usb stick) work fine though | 04:46 |
| Tremwar | ahmedhelal, and if it does... you can select the other kernel on startup right? | 04:46 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, and you can always boot the old version. so stay on 2.6.36-whatever, and worry about natty | 04:47 |
| dr_Willis | spaz_dynamic - use a tool from the pendrivelinux web site to make a bootable usb stick perhaps. | 04:47 |
| odst0016 | so i played with natty for a day how is unity | 04:48 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, that was a wicked fast system install... how did you do it that fast | 04:48 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: I'm also wanting to double check that my CPU is 64bit, as I am 90% sure that it is, but if its not, I suppose that might be why things aren't installing (though tried 32 bit slackware too but that didn't work either) | 04:48 |
| ahmedhelal | usb ;) | 04:48 |
| Maahes_ | hey, how can I transfer the keyring of one user to another user? | 04:48 |
| hiexpo | i just did a slack the other day on a usb and it worked fine | 04:48 |
| Tremwar | it was the live cd right? | 04:48 |
| ahmedhelal | Tremwar: yea | 04:48 |
| dr_Willis | 64 vs 32bit cpu shouldent matter | 04:48 |
| ahmedhelal | imaged to a fast usb 2 flash disk | 04:48 |
| Tremwar | yeah, live CD install are quick, but there are plenty of updates you need | 04:49 |
| rww | odst0016: #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks! | 04:49 |
| Maahes_ | 64bits totally matters, you get like twice as many bits! ;P | 04:49 |
| ahmedhelal | Tremwar: yeah :( | 04:49 |
| escott | Spaz_Dynamic, cat /proc/cpuinfo once you boot | 04:49 |
| dr_Willis | bigger bits baby! | 04:49 |
| Tremwar | just take note of your current kernel version if everything is going well right now... so you can switch back to it if need be | 04:49 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: that doesn't matter for booting the CD for installing said operating system /loading the kernel in the case of the slackware disk? | 04:50 |
| dr_Willis | a 64bit cd wont work on a 32bit cpu.. but a 32bit os should work on any/either cpu.. | 04:50 |
| escott | Spaz_Dynamic, you should always be able to boot a 32bit install disk, but if you have a 64bit cd you probably want to install from a 64bit install disk | 04:50 |
| Tremwar | 32bit won't work on an 8bit :-P | 04:51 |
| Tremwar | lol | 04:51 |
| escott | Tremwar, so I can't install ubuntu on my comodore 64? :-P | 04:51 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: yeah, thats what I thought. So that my 64 bit win7 disk starts up fine means that it is 64 bit, but then chokes means that something else is acting up? | 04:51 |
| dr_Willis | could be you are just not making the boot sticks properly | 04:52 |
| escott | Spaz_Dynamic, what kind of cpu do you have/how old is it | 04:52 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | also, crap, why did I boot the ubuntu cd for running cat /proc/cpuinfo ... I so could have booted puppy and it would have been done faster xD | 04:52 |
| dr_Willis | the bios settings should tell you the cpu :) | 04:53 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | escott: its a pentium 4 prescott something or other | 04:53 |
| vahnx | for running a minecraft server would i loose much performance with 10.10 x64 vs 10.10 x64 server edition | 04:53 |
| Tremwar | puppy is fast.. | 04:53 |
| escott | pentium 4 is 32bit | 04:53 |
| dr_Willis | puppy is also annoying in ways. :) | 04:53 |
| hiexpo | i love puppy and also you can pull the cd or usb out and it runs in ram | 04:53 |
| dr_Willis | Pent 4 32bit - i do agree | 04:54 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | puppy is blazing, its what I use on my laptop. (part of why is cause I got tired of all the graphical errors in GNOME) | 04:54 |
| trihope | KM0201: How are you today? | 04:54 |
| vahnx | puppy has no x64 version though right? | 04:54 |
| vahnx | so stuck with low ram =( | 04:54 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | hiexpo: assuming you have enough xD if you have like 128 Meg, you're SoL | 04:54 |
| dr_Willis | the idea of 64bit puppy . is a little.. weird :) | 04:54 |
| Galaxor | Hi. I'm trying to install djbdns. I did apt-get install djbdns, but there is no /etc/init.d/djbdns. | 04:54 |
| Tremwar | yeah, puppy does get get it old really quick... but I honestly would never have used Linux if not for puppy... | 04:54 |
| hiexpo | Spaz_Dynamic, true | 04:55 |
| vahnx | does puppy see multiple cores? | 04:55 |
| vahnx | by defaul;t? | 04:55 |
| vahnx | no config | 04:55 |
| Galaxor | It also didn't install /etc/init.d/tinydns, etc. | 04:55 |
| Tremwar | can't remeber... I thought it did hyperthreading... | 04:55 |
| hiexpo | i don't know if it will boot with low ram cause it loads to ram first than boots | 04:55 |
| Galaxor | the debian package installs these files, but the ubuntu 10.04 version does not. | 04:55 |
| rww | Can you take this to #puppylinux, please :) | 04:56 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | alright, so what do you want to hear from cat /proc/cpuinfo ? | 04:56 |

| Tremwar | here is a Ubuntu question I have... | 04:57 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | intel pentium 4 | 04:58 |
| Tremwar | Ubuntu uses alot of python 2.x scripts correct? | 04:58 |
| escott | Spaz_Dynamic, if thats all it says its 32bit | 04:58 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | and in the bios I have seen something about T64H something | 04:58 |
| Tremwar | what's the plan when a major movement towards Python 3.x is made, with the backwards comaptibility issues and all | 04:58 |
| escott | Spaz_Dynamic, intel started getting really fancy with naming after the pentium | 04:58 |
| rww | Tremwar: port the scripts to Python 3 | 04:59 |
| Tremwar | hmmm, ok, I was wondering if there were any consideration of porting to any other language or sticking with Python... | 05:00 |
| Inumedia | Who was the person who helped me fix my touchpad issues? I need those two shell commands again. | 05:00 |
| escott | Spaz_Dynamic, also you should not see an "lm" listed under flags for a 32bit processor | 05:00 |
| rww | Inumedia: ActionParsnip? | 05:00 |
| Tremwar | mac touchpad? | 05:01 |
| Inumedia | ActionParsnip: What were those two commands again? | 05:01 |
| Inumedia | Synaptic Touchpad | 05:01 |
| rww | 01:41:38 < ActionParsnip> Inumedia: you can then run: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sudo modprobe psmouse | 05:01 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | escott: how about I just look in the bios xD | 05:01 |
| Inumedia | Thank you rww. | 05:01 |
| Tremwar | rww(as for the Python question, I'm a die hard Ruby fan, I was just curious) | 05:01 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | in my bios, it says under processor info "64-bit technology = yes (Intel EM64T)" | 05:01 |
| Inumedia | Now I need to still figure out how to increase the speed + get my touchpad option back in the mouse settings. :P | 05:01 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | escott: does that change your mind? =P | 05:02 |
| escott | Spaz_Dynamic, weird but it is a Pentium 4? | 05:02 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | It says it is, yes | 05:02 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | escott: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_4 says that some of the p4's were 64bit | 05:03 |
| escott | Spaz_Dynamic, learn something every day :) | 05:03 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | lol | 05:03 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | yeah, its a socket 775, has hyper threading, is 2.8 Ghz | 05:04 |
| p1und3r | does anyone know if gtkmm is fully compatible with the new unity interface? | 05:05 |
| vahnx | i wonder if i can ever get used to unity :( | 05:05 |
| YankDownUnder | Spaz_Dynamic, I've basically the same setup, but a 3.0ghz; after experimentation, I've found that 32bit just works more smoothly on older P4 systems | 05:05 |
| p1und3r | i love unity vahnx | 05:05 |
| IanLiu | I was transferring a big file from my Desktop to an external HD and I accidentally unplugged it. Now it does not mount anymore. It is formated as NTFS. Is there a way to recover it? | 05:05 |
| vahnx | i cant stand it but maybe it will grow on me | 05:05 |
| vahnx | just seems like a step back | 05:05 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | YankDownUnder: ah, under which OS's? | 05:05 |
| YankDownUnder | vahnx, You can move to Gnome3, and then tweak it to be like 2.3 | 05:05 |
| YankDownUnder | Spaz_Dynamic, I don't do Windows, so it's been Fedora and Ubuntu | 05:06 |
| vahnx | if they want to compete with iOS/Mac being all icon like, they should at least make it look better =p | 05:06 |
| dr_Willis | ianliu - you may want to have an actual windows macine scan/fix/repair the filesystem | 05:06 |
| escott | IanLiu, you should boot windows and ask it to fix the disk errors | 05:06 |
| IanLiu | escott: I see. I will try that. Thanks! | 05:06 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | YankDownUnder: hmm, i'm wanting to do slackware and windows7 | 05:08 |
| dr_Willis | you should be able to make a usb stick with grub2 that can boot a slackware iso. or use the pendrivelinux tools to make such a stick. | 05:09 |
| vahnx | be warned slackware default kernel does not support multiple cores | 05:11 |
| vahnx | install a diff kernel | 05:11 |
| Inumedia | Anyone recommend a client for MSN/Windows live? | 05:11 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: ah, yeah. vahnx: which kernel? and does that count hyper-threading too? | 05:11 |
| dr_Willis | !im | 05:11 |
| ubottu | The Instant Messenger client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete | 05:11 |

| YankDownUnder | Spaz_Dynamic, ....or Crossover Games for Linux | 05:13 |
| vahnx | slackware officially only has 32 bit i believe, for 64 bit theres branch offs | 05:13 |
| vahnx | like slamd64 | 05:13 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | YankDownUnder: I've had major preformance issues using virtualbox, particularly since I'm then running two OS at the same time | 05:13 |
| hiexpo | nope slack has 32 and 64 | 05:14 |
| telemarketer | hi all | 05:14 |
| ahmedhelal | Tristam: ok its not a broadcom card, its an intel one.. still cant connect to surrounding wifi spots though | 05:14 |
| vahnx | where is the 64 on their site? | 05:14 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | YankDownUnder: Whats the crossover thing? And does it support the newest .net frameworks? One of the games I have requires .net 4 I think | 05:14 |
| hiexpo | one seclet me see | 05:14 |

| dr_Willis | spaz_dynamic what game? | 05:14 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | vahnx: go to get slack, and look under the 32 bit downloads | 05:14 |
| YankDownUnder | Spaz_Dynamic, http://www.codeweavers.com/ | 05:15 |

| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: one I have in particular is Battlefield Badcompany 2 | 05:15 |
| vahnx | ooh its down near the bottom | 05:15 |
| vahnx | must be new they didnt have 64 for the longest time | 05:15 |
| dr_Willis | spaz_dynamic - ive seen some games work without the .net stuff. with differnt loader front ends. such as LOTRO | 05:16 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | vahnx: yeah, its on the news page for '09 I think | 05:16 |
| YankDownUnder | I've cheated on WINE a tad bit...not that it's hard to do...just have to have a copy of XP installed and floating around... | 05:16 |
| ugarich | i am sorry, but what channel for rus ubuntu users? | 05:17 |

| judgex_ | how do i disable the firewall in ubuntu? | 05:18 |
| dr_Willis | !firewall | 05:18 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 05:18 |
| izinucs | vahnx: there's not enough room on the cd.. they fight for every meg when putting it together.. | 05:18 |
| cryptopsy | someone describe how i mount by the command line ntfs as read-write | 05:18 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, no experience with intel wifi | 05:18 |
| dr_Willis | theres no default firewall rules. so by defult firewall is off | 05:18 |
| vahnx | ah i c. | 05:18 |

| judgex_ | and i have no idea where they came from... | 05:19 |
| cryptopsy | dr_Willis: doesn't work with mount? | 05:20 |
| dr_Willis | mount uses the same ntfs-3g stuff.. differnt route.. same end. | 05:20 |
| cryptopsy | so mount /dev/sdxxx /mountpoint should work? | 05:20 |
| dr_Willis | mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdxxx /media/foo | 05:21 |

| crum | hey | 05:27 |
| vahnx | well i know minecraft classic is free and way faster, but not as many features | 05:27 |
| cryptopsy | minecraft team is too busy trying to secure patents to care about updates | 05:27 |
| trihope | escott: I believe i installed it already (according to ubuntu software center) but I can't find it. | 05:27 |
| cryptopsy | no this isn't like the classic, its like the 10 dollar version | 05:27 |
| cryptopsy | it has picks and weapons | 05:27 |

| vahnx | pkpkpk | 05:28 |
| escott | trihope, a panel applet? and you are not running natty narwhal. you should be able to get it with a right click on the panel | 05:28 |
| trihope | yes, 10.10 | 05:28 |
| vahnx | anyone play rs | 05:29 |
| cryptopsy | why do my ftp transfers freeze on files greater than 20M? | 05:29 |

| cryptopsy | it never moves on to the next file | 05:29 |
| judgex_ | n ##OpenGL | 05:29 |
| trihope | escott: yeah, it's not showing up in the list. do I need to do some sort of restart for the program? | 05:29 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: Any suggestions for making w7 boot and install? | 05:29 |
| Maahes_ | anyone know if there is a way to have another user use your keyring? | 05:29 |
| escott | trihope, you could try logging out and back in just in case | 05:29 |
| vahnx | anyone here play runescape? | 05:29 |
| ahmedhelal | hello in 10.10 after installing kubuntu-desktop package on ubuntu, when kdm loads i end up with a console screen without a border or title bar, and nothing else loads.. any idea ? (clean installation) | 05:30 |
| dr_Willis | spaz_dynamic you mean make sa bootable usb from a win7 iso? | 05:30 |
| trihope | escott: will do | 05:30 |
| vahnx | they brought back the wilderness and PKing recently ima go pking instead of netflix | 05:30 |
| escott | trihope, if you are running kde or kubuntu then gnome panel applets wont work | 05:30 |
| Maahes_ | basically I want all users on the machine to be able to use the same wireless password keyring. | 05:30 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: that would work. I can't get it to boot from the DVD for some reason. | 05:30 |
| trihope | escott: nope, gnome i'm pretty sure | 05:31 |
| dr_Willis | spaz_dynamic i would check in #windows. ive heard that you can dd the win7 iso to a flash and boot it.. but never tried. | 05:31 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | dr_Willis: correction, it boots, but it fails during the exact same part of installation | 05:31 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: any idea ? | 05:31 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, idea about what? sorry | 05:31 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: in 10.10 after installing kubuntu-desktop package on ubuntu, when kdm loads i end up with a console screen without a border or title bar, and nothing else loads.. any idea ? (clean installation) | 05:31 |
| _vader89 | is there a way to install ubuntu and then make it run the setup wizard on first boot? I would like to install ubuntu on a new computer, give it away and have the new owner choose locale and username on first boot. | 05:32 |
| dr_Willis | !oem | 05:32 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 05:32 |
| Telroth | Anyone know how to force-stop a raid array? | 05:32 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, do you mean console like kdm failed? | 05:32 |
| dr_Willis | i thought the OEM install optioon did that. | 05:32 |
| _vader89 | perfect. thankyou | 05:32 |
| vahnx | why doesnt the default ubutnu come with gparted :( | 05:32 |
| Telroth | Namely, a mdadm array? `sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md127 --force` isn't working | 05:32 |
| vahnx | has it on the live disc but not once installed | 05:33 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: no, its Konsole, just a terminal open with kde background | 05:33 |
| hiexpo | the oem does | 05:33 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: but seems like window decorator didnt load | 05:33 |
| m-droid | kill -9 | 05:33 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, the window manager didn't start | 05:33 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: i tried kde-window-decorator --replace but it seems like it wasnt install, so am installing now compiz-kde | 05:33 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: seems like i missed alot, i only used sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to install kde | 05:33 |
| ahmedhelal | thought that should do it | 05:34 |
| escott | ahmedhelal, sounds like a borked kde install :) | 05:34 |
| Telroth | m-droid: sudo kill -9 `pidof md127_raid5` silently does nothing. | 05:34 |
| hasek79 | can osx and ubuntu be installed side by side on a mac without making a windows partition? | 05:34 |
| dr_Willis | hasek79: why would sa windows partition be needed at all? | 05:34 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: yeah , although i googled and found that its the same step to install kde :S | 05:35 |
| hasek79 | i thought you had to | 05:35 |
| izinucs | hasek79: maybe with parallels | 05:35 |
| dr_Willis | a normal Uninstall dosen tneed a windows parition. so why would installng on a mac matter? | 05:35 |
| hasek79 | i was just wanting to choose between ubuntu and osx | 05:35 |
| escott | hasek79, since most linux | 05:35 |
| hasek79 | when starting up | 05:35 |
| dr_Willis | windows dosent figure into it as far as i know hasek79 | 05:36 |
| escott | hasek79, since most linux (including ubuntu) use bios to boot and osx uses its variant of efi you would tell parallels and other apps you are planning on installing windows and then install ubuntu (when ubuntu is not an option) | 05:36 |
| badriyah | HEO | 05:36 |
| trihope | escott: still not seeing it. both synaptic and ubuntu software center show it's installed but not showing up when I right click the panel. | 05:36 |
| hasek79 | but can you install linux as a dual boot? | 05:37 |
| ahmedhelal | escott: wow, seems like window decorator crashes, and its not a broken installation or so | 05:37 |
| ahmedhelal | i get Seg Fault | 05:37 |
| lxd | ? | 05:38 |
| hasek79 | like if you would to do it a a pc you get a boot loader to choose between linux or windows | 05:38 |

| vahnx | how do u make urself the owner of all files in ubuntu | 05:38 |
| Telroth | You don't. | 05:38 |
| dr_Willis | vahnx why do you wan tto do that? | 05:38 |
| hiexpo | root is the owner | 05:39 |
| vahnx | i installed ubuntu ontop of slackware now i have /home/home | 05:39 |
| Telroth | That'll screw up a number of programs, and cause the system not to work. | 05:39 |
| html_inprogress | HAPPY easter | 05:39 |
| vahnx | i want to remove folders in /home but it wont let me | 05:39 |
| dr_Willis | vahnx set proper ownership and perissions on the files | 05:39 |
| dr_Willis | as the root user; | 05:39 |
| vahnx | and how do i do that | 05:39 |
| vahnx | k | 05:39 |
| Telroth | with chmod and chown | 05:39 |
| escott | trihope, not sure what the problem is/but its getting late here home someone can help | 05:39 |
| dr_Willis | !permissions | 05:39 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 05:39 |
| vahnx | like chmod 777 / ? | 05:39 |
| Telroth | nuuuu | 05:39 |
| Telroth | that'll break the system | 05:39 |
| dr_Willis | vahnx i would read and learn what permissions DO first... | 05:40 |
| vahnx | r w e | 05:40 |
| Telroth | Many programs require very specific permissions | 05:40 |
| dr_Willis | you dont want to 777 everything.. thats just.. well.. going to break things | 05:40 |
| Telroth | and will refuse to run if they are not set properly | 05:40 |
| Telroth | you should only change what you absolutely need to change | 05:40 |
| vahnx | ima just wipe the drive and make sure slackwares gone for good this time | 05:40 |
| vahnx | as if it kept all old files | 05:40 |
| trihope | USB indicator applet for panel not showing up after install, can anybody help? | 05:41 |
| vahnx | and wont let me delete em from ubuntu | 05:41 |
| Telroth | vahnx: where are they in ubuntu? | 05:41 |
| dr_Willis | vahnx with root/sudo you can... | 05:41 |
| vahnx | in ubuntu all the files from the old /home appeared in / in ubuntu | 05:41 |
| vahnx | slackwares /home got scattered to / in ubuntu | 05:41 |
| Telroth | so just a few user folders? | 05:41 |
| dr_Willis | now thsat could be an issue | 05:42 |
| vahnx | yeah ill just wipe it, easier than going through each file | 05:42 |
| vahnx | determining which is from my slackware | 05:42 |
| vahnx | etc. | 05:42 |
| Telroth | if you know the usernames | 05:42 |
| Telroth | and they don't collide with ubuntu folders | 05:42 |
| Telroth | you can probably delete them and move on. | 05:42 |
| badriyah | tas | 05:43 |
| html_inprogress | dr_Willis, whats the command for ubuntu gui? | 05:43 |
| dr_Willis | html_inprogess you mean 'startx' ? | 05:43 |
| dr_Willis | or sudo service gdm start | 05:43 |
| Telroth | for example, if you absolutely know benj89 is a user from slack, then you can `sudo rm -rf /benj89` | 05:43 |
| ahmedhelal | hello, i tried to install kde using sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop on 10.10 ubuntu, however after restart i ended up with konsole opened with no borders (no decorators) and kde didnt load, however typing startkde magically opens kde and everything loads normally.. any idea ? | 05:44 |
| Telroth | But be absolutely sure that's not a folder that ubuntu needs | 05:44 |
| html_inprogress | whats the difference? | 05:44 |
| Telroth | and be very, very careful. | 05:44 |
| dr_Willis | one starts the gdm service.. other just starts up X. | 05:44 |
| vahnx | tomorrows gonna be a rough day at work -__- its already like 1am | 05:44 |
| html_inprogress | i just want to reinstall the gui... it was a night mare when i changed it | 05:44 |
| dr_Willis | what exactly did you change html_inprogress | 05:45 |
| html_inprogress | i got a mix of xp and ubuntu looks | 05:45 |
| vahnx | try the System -> Appearance tab | 05:46 |
| dr_Willis | html_inprogress: and how did you do that? | 05:46 |
| Telroth | ahmedhelal: Make sure that kdm is correctly set as your desktop manager instead of gdm. | 05:46 |
| ahmedhelal | Telroth: how should i ? i choosed kdm in the installation of kubuntu-desktop packages to be default | 05:47 |
| === guayense is now known as juanc | ||
| Telroth | ahmedhelal: and it shows the kde-themed login dialog when the system starts up? | 05:48 |
| ahmedhelal | yes | 05:48 |
| html_inprogress | dr_Willis, http://ubuntu.online02.com/node/14 i didnt finish in time | 05:48 |
| POOPHAMMER | i hope this install of ubuntu goes better | 05:48 |
| Telroth | if you go to the login box, look for a session dropdown or an option somewhere that you can pick your window manager, and make sure it's set to KDE | 05:48 |
| jiltdil | if a group LG has three users A,B.C and other user "V" from other group want to acess the members of LG group(A,B,C).how to set permission on LG group in one command so "V" can acess all the members of LG group.As i made secondary group of "V" to LG? | 05:49 |
| dr_Willis | i got no browser to look at thsat right now html_inprogress so cnt read it. :) | 05:49 |
| vahnx | no browser :O | 05:49 |
| dr_Willis | ircing from my cell phone | 05:49 |
| ahmedhelal | Telroth: just check that, it wasnt set to kde, infact nothing was choose, and i choosed kde and it logs in perfectly now, so how to make it choose kde by default #1? also when it logged it , it popped up a konsole window.. any idea why ? #2 | 05:49 |
| vahnx | cell phone without a browser! =p | 05:49 |
| hiexpo | trihope, you talking about thedisk mounter applet | 05:50 |
| POOPHAMMER | i love to use irssi from my cell phone | 05:50 |
| POOPHAMMER | its the best thing ever | 05:50 |
| cryptopsy | POOPHAMMER: your name is offensive | 05:50 |
| dr_Willis | irc client cant just load urls :) | 05:50 |
| POOPHAMMER | lol | 05:50 |
| html_inprogress | dr_Willis, but if it was fully work able its like having the best of both worlds , when my friends want to use the computer they think its xp | 05:50 |
| vahnx | haha true enough | 05:50 |
| cryptopsy | is POOPHAMMER an appropriate name for ubuntu? | 05:50 |
| vahnx | best solution would be to install xp in a virtual machine if you have a copy of XP | 05:50 |
| POOPHAMMER | wow really | 05:50 |
| html_inprogress | and i get stuff done, but i can part/ use part of the screen | 05:50 |
| cryptopsy | POOPHAMMER: no watch this | 05:50 |
| tripelb | anyone know how to do a bulletpoint with a simple solid circle (vanilla) in abiword (there's no abiword channel) | 05:50 |
| dr_Willis | html_inprogress: one of those change the theme/look scripts eh? hard to tell what it does. | 05:50 |
| trihope | hiexpo: no, usb indicator, to safely remove usb devices | 05:50 |
| === cryptopsy is now known as CHRISTHAMMER | ||
| 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) | 05:51 |
| CHRISTHAMMER | POOPHAMMER: see? its alright | 05:51 |
| POOPHAMMER | cool nickname | 05:51 |
| Telroth | ahmedhelal: It should default to be the last one that you used (KDE) or whatever you set it to (still KDE); The default behavior when X starts up is to open a terminal window. | 05:51 |
| POOPHAMMER | im trying an install from CD this time rather than wubi | 05:51 |
| rww | I keep telling myself not to unban that dolt and I keep unbanning them. I wonder why. | 05:51 |
| tripelb | when I start a second user things get messed up. (1) just now having rebooted, loging keyring did not start and give the password. What's this?? I do not understand. (2) If I switch user, I cant shut the second user down. Coputer goes to blank screen with no recovery I can figure out. (Hardbooted was only solution) | 05:51 |

| vahnx | isnt there a file you can edit to change the default gdm/kdm etc. | 05:51 |
| hasek79 | is there a way to clean up my grub screen? every time i update it adds a new i guess you could call it link for ubuntu so now i have like 10 for ubuntu and 2 for windows and i only use the most current one | 05:52 |
| hiexpo | trihope, are the usb'snot mounted on the desktop when you mount them | 05:52 |
| Telroth | vahnx: yes, somewhere. I'm not sure off of the top of my head. | 05:52 |
| dr_Willis | vahnx sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm | 05:52 |
| POOPHAMMER | i really hope this doesnt mess up my MBR this time | 05:52 |
| tripelb | hasek79, I see that too. | 05:52 |
| html_inprogress | go to the first one in the list and thats it | 05:52 |
| trihope | actually, I haven't tried mounting any | 05:52 |
| html_inprogress | dont INSTALL | 05:53 |
| hasek79 | ya all i want to 2 for ubuntu and 2 for windows | 05:53 |
| vahnx | hey is it possible to configure an irc server to take text say over 255 chars, convert it to a pastebin link and paste it instead. just wondering | 05:53 |
| trihope | hiexpo: sorry, haven't tried using any usb's, I just thought it would be nice to have an applet for quick safe removal | 05:53 |
| hasek79 | i dont need all the other ones | 05:53 |
| hiexpo | ubuntu will auto mount devices and it will put an icon on the desktop to remove it just right click it and safely remove | 05:53 |
| tripelb | I put in a new (old) drive. I want to copy what's on it to my main drive. But I dont have permission. And if I boot to that user, then I cant even see my main drive. I can only see that user, and all the windows partitions on my drives. ARG | 05:53 |
| POOPHAMMER | i hope this install goes past configuring hardware this time | 05:53 |
| Telroth | vahnx: You'd have to download the source of one and build a module for it. | 05:53 |
| vahnx | ah i see. | 05:54 |
| Telroth | But yes, you could if you're willing to write the code yourself. | 05:54 |
| POOPHAMMER | it locked up at generating /boot/initrd.im etc last time | 05:54 |
| trihope | yeah, guess I was more wondering why it wasn't showing up after install though | 05:54 |
| Starminn | Any idea whether or not GNOME Shell will ever be stable for Ubuntu 10.10? | 05:54 |
| vahnx | didnt they get rid of it for 11.04 | 05:54 |
| vahnx | or is the new one an overlay on gnome | 05:54 |
| Starminn | vahnx: *sigh* What are you talking about? | 05:55 |
| vahnx | unity... | 05:55 |
| vahnx | is it a window manager that sits ontop of gnome? | 05:55 |
| Starminn | vahnx: Unity is a Shell on top of GNOME 2. something | 05:55 |
| tripelb | POOPHAMMER, I hope so too. are you putting it on the same physical drive? | 05:55 |
| rww | Starminn: GNOME 3 isn't going to happen for 10.10. | 05:55 |
| hiexpo | it's not the gnome shell | 05:55 |
| Starminn | vahnx: And "Gnome 3" you've got Gnome Shell. http://gnome3.org/ | 05:55 |
| POOPHAMMER | well i made a partition, 30 GB | 05:55 |
| POOPHAMMER | its on a dif drive | 05:56 |
| tripelb | I had no problems POOPHAMMER when I installed ubntu | 05:56 |
| POOPHAMMER | well when i popped debian on there GRUB messed up my MBR's world | 05:56 |
| POOPHAMMER | could not load into win7 at all | 05:56 |
| Starminn | rww: So they're just abandoniing it in favor of 11.04? I thought that would be the case, I just wanted to see if there would be any glimmer of hope while I wait a few weeks before adopting something so potentially buggy. :) | 05:56 |
| vahnx | gnome 3 looks like a step in the right direction ;D | 05:56 |
| tripelb | poophammer that sounds even easier. vanilla. -- dont even mention ubuntu. I dont know about debian. | 05:56 |
| trihope | simple question - tried running "apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" but it says I need root, what step did I miss? | 05:57 |
| iRabbit | rm -rf / | 05:57 |
| rww | Starminn: If you want the latest and greatest shiny stuff, you need to upgrade every six months, yes. | 05:57 |
| Starminn | trihope: sudo apt-get ..... | 05:57 |
| rww | iRabbit: I don't recommend saying commands like that in here. | 05:57 |
| tripelb | irabbit, what's that? | 05:57 |
| trihope | Starminn: thanks | 05:57 |
| POOPHAMMER | seems like ubuntu is locking up at the same part as last :/ | 05:57 |
| tripelb | yes rww I was trying to call attention to this potential problem. It seems like this kind of consciousness is a danger to someone. | 05:57 |
| iRabbit | tripelb, something you don't want to type | 05:57 |
| Starminn | rww: Your suggested wait time between new releases? I know it's gone through alphas, betas, etc., but nonetheless, are they usually usable on a daily basis on release day? | 05:57 |
| Starminn | trihope: "Sudo" allows you to run as "Root" or the "superuser" (basically, the god on your machine) | 05:58 |
| tripelb | personally irabbit, I'd boot you with no explain for typing that. | 05:58 |
| tripelb | like a bot | 05:58 |
| dr_Willis | I often wait a week or 3 befor installing a new release. theres often bug fixs that come out real quick after release | 05:58 |
| vahnx | i love how people claim that sudo is bad and u should never use it | 05:58 |
| rww | Starminn: I usually recommend upgrading a month or so after release. Gives the servers time to cool down and the bug-fixing people time to fix any bugs that get uncovered. | 05:58 |
| vahnx | always run as "su"/root | 05:58 |
| iRabbit | tripelb, oh c'mon have a sense of humor | 05:58 |
| POOPHAMMER | sudo is only bad when you use bad commands with it :P | 05:59 |
| vahnx | but then again so is su | 05:59 |
| rww | iRabbit: Allow me to rephrase. The next time you utter a dangerous command like that in here, you will be removed from the channel. It is not funny. | 05:59 |
| tripelb | irabbit off topic | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | vahnx: sudo is great | 05:59 |
| tripelb | <3 rww (offtopic) | 05:59 |
| vahnx | yeah i like sudo but so many hardcore linux fanatics are against it... well many i met | 05:59 |
| ActionParsnip | vahnx: su is great, its one of Linuxes great powers as it is a true multiuser OS | 05:59 |
| * tripelb boots tripleb | 05:59 | |
| Starminn | rww: That's what I was planning on. 3-4 weeks. Alright, thanks. Do you know if Gnome3 still breaks Unity? (I know this is a little OT but this is the only question I have about it.) | 06:00 |
| jiltdil | if a group LG has three users A,B.C and other user "V" from other group want to acess the members of LG group(A,B,C).how to set permission on LG group in one command so "V" can acess all the members of LG group.As i made secondary group of "V" to LG? | 06:00 |
| * POOPHAMMER sighs | 06:00 | |
| rww | Starminn: I haven't tried it. Someone in #ubuntu+1 might know. | 06:00 |
| dr_Willis | thers more to 'sudo' then just runnng suff as root :) | 06:00 |
| POOPHAMMER | looks like i just wont be able to install ununtu | 06:00 |
| POOPHAMMER | :| | 06:00 |
| Starminn | rww: Alright, thanks. :) | 06:00 |
| ActionParsnip | POOPHAMMER: are you having install issues? | 06:01 |
| POOPHAMMER | yeah | 06:01 |
| vahnx | ubuntu is a pain to install | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | POOPHAMMER: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 06:01 |
| vahnx | i made 3 diff bottable usbs diff times, third time worked | 06:01 |
| POOPHAMMER | mhmm | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | vahnx: its one of the simplest distros to install, try installing Gentoo | 06:01 |
| iRabbit | vahx, how so? | 06:01 |
| hiexpo | ubuntu is the easiest one to install | 06:01 |
| vahnx | i mean the install process to usb | 06:01 |
| ActionParsnip | POOPHAMMER: what does that mean? | 06:01 |
| iRabbit | vahnx, how so? | 06:01 |
| POOPHAMMER | it means yes | 06:01 |
| dr_Willis | rarely have issues installing ubuntu here. Ive had more issues with differnt age pcs and differnt usb flash drives then ubuntu being at fault | 06:01 |
| POOPHAMMER | i checked the hash | 06:01 |
| vahnx | tried unetbootin in windows, tried dd | 06:01 |
| vahnx | needs to be a persistant install or w/e | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | POOPHAMMER: can you please use ENGLISH in replys, it speeds things up | 06:02 |
| dr_Willis | You can setup a grub2 usb - and boot iso files also :) | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | POOPHAMMER: did you test your RAM? | 06:02 |
| POOPHAMMER | yep | 06:02 |
| vahnx | grub 2 boots hackintosh into verbose :( | 06:02 |
| === lilstevie|lagche is now known as lilstevie | ||
| POOPHAMMER | i never have issues with any other linux distro | 06:02 |
| ActionParsnip | POOPHAMMER: are you using a CD to install, or USB? | 06:02 |
| POOPHAMMER | CD | 06:02 |
| hiexpo | whatversion | 06:03 |
| ActionParsnip | POOPHAMMER: did you burn the CD as slowly as you were allowed and did you make the CD test itself when it started to boot? | 06:03 |
| POOPHAMMER | 10.10 AMD 64 desktop | 06:03 |
| POOPHAMMER | the cd is only a 4x and that is what it burned at, and i was given no option to test it that i saw, it verified at the end of burn and the MD5 matched up | 06:04 |
| POOPHAMMER | it always locks up on update-inimramfs generating /boot/initrd.im.6.35-22-generic | 06:04 |
| clu3 | which java should i use for running eclipse guys? open jdk or java sun? | 06:04 |
| POOPHAMMER | tried 3 burns and wubi with no prevail | 06:05 |
| POOPHAMMER | always stops there | 06:05 |
| vahnx | im not a fan of sun but they do their java good | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | POOPHAMMER: on the same screen as the ram test you can check the CD for consistency too | 06:05 |
| ActionParsnip | clu3: if you need the extra features in the sun java, use sun | 06:06 |
| hasek79 | will i be able to run system update to upgrade to ubuntu 11? | 06:06 |
| POOPHAMMER | im thinking about just giving up on ubuntu and going with windows and staying there and sticking with debian on my server | 06:06 |
| POOPHAMMER | never ever had any luck wih ubuntu | 06:06 |
| ActionParsnip | POOPHAMMER: whatever you desire | 06:06 |
| iRabbit | Hey when I click on start and right click on my computer it doesn't tell me my version number.. whats the deal? | 06:07 |
| POOPHAMMER | is the step i am on supposed to take forever or something? | 06:07 |
| dr_Willis | start? | 06:07 |
| allorder | POOPHAMMER: why you dont use debian testing/sid on it or why you dont try another distro | 06:07 |
| rww | iRabbit: I think you got lost on the way to ##windows | 06:07 |
| Starminn | iRabbit: "My Computer"? Just System->Administration->System Monitor | 06:07 |
| POOPHAMMER | because i always hear wonderful things about ubuntu but never get to try it | 06:08 |
| POOPHAMMER | any time i do it just tars out on me | 06:08 |
| POOPHAMMER | *tards | 06:08 |
| dr_Willis | sounds like some weird hardware/issue/bug to me poophammer. | 06:08 |
| danielitosj | hello everbody | 06:08 |
| danielitosj | I had a problem installing 10.04 and 10.10 | 06:08 |
| danielitosj | Related to partitions not aligned to cylinders | 06:09 |
| POOPHAMMER | i might just go back to centos for linux idk | 06:09 |
| Inumedia | Anyone know of any settings in X that changes how fast a touchpad will move the mouse? Not the overall speed but horizontal vs vertical speed. | 06:09 |
| centHOGG | heh | 06:09 |
| POOPHAMMER | kinda irritating to get this going | 06:09 |
| danielitosj | Gparted-server dies | 06:09 |
| allorder | POOPHAMMER: centos for a desktop ?! | 06:09 |
| POOPHAMMER | yeah i used to use it on my old PC | 06:09 |
| POOPHAMMER | old celeron rig | 06:09 |
| allorder | POOPHAMMER: try archlinux maybe :P | 06:09 |
| dr_Willis | poophammer - you could move the HD to a differnt box. install , then move itback. | 06:09 |
| POOPHAMMER | lol arch | 06:10 |
| allorder | ? | 06:10 |
| POOPHAMMER | i didnt really liek arch | 06:10 |
| POOPHAMMER | i think im just going to go back to centos | 06:10 |
| allorder | ok, goodbye | 06:11 |
| POOPHAMMER | later | 06:11 |
| iRabbit | so like... I'm trying to setup a static route in /etc/hostname.vlan344 ... 10.12.24.88 netmask 255.255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.12.24.255 vlan 1028 em3... so like !route add -net 192.168.23.0/24 10.10.12.1? right? | 06:11 |
| centHOGG | heh | 06:11 |
| danielitosj | The only solution I found is resizing the problematic partition | 06:11 |
| POOPHAMMER | lets just hope my MBR didnt get messed up this time | 06:11 |
| danielitosj | Does anybody know if this issue is being solved in 11.04???? | 06:11 |
| POOPHAMMER | lol | 06:11 |
| ohzie | archlinux is pretty fantastic in a lot of ways, but their community is pretty terribad imo. =( | 06:11 |
| ohzie | ubuntu <3 | 06:11 |
| allorder | ohzie: ? | 06:12 |
| ActionParsnip | danielitosj: ask in #ubuntu+1 for natty stuff | 06:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ohzie: check xpud. It's groovy :) | 06:14 |
| ActionParsnip | boots in seconds | 06:14 |
| dr_Willis | tiny core linux :) | 06:14 |
| hiexpo | or puppy | 06:14 |
| centHOGG | USB Stik Distros | 06:15 |
| dr_Willis | i tend to avoid puppy these days :) | 06:15 |
| hiexpo | dr_Willis, how come | 06:15 |
| iRabbit | anyone ^ | 06:15 |
| dr_Willis | spent more time figureing out puppys quirks then using it.. | 06:16 |
| hiexpo | dr_Willis, oh hehe | 06:16 |
| ohzie | I just threw 10.10 on a HP G72. I'm kind of excited. It's screen is so pretty. On the forums, people were having sound issues in 10.04, but there was an easy fix. I haven't had to do it yet. Everything's so far out-of-the-box. Even the SD-card reader. :D | 06:16 |
| centHOGG | like installation quirks? | 06:16 |
| ActionParsnip | dr_Willis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY1xAiNnPTc&feature=related fast | 06:17 |
| dr_Willis | Puppy just seems layer upon layer of qick little hacks, and weirdness compared to other 'normal' distros | 06:17 |
| dr_Willis | Ill stick to Lubuntu for my low end box's | 06:18 |
| centHOGG | concur | 06:18 |
| hiexpo | xpud that was pretty fast | 06:18 |
| ActionParsnip | hiexpo: lots | 06:18 |
| hiexpo | the only had time to say about 7 chineese words and it was booted | 06:19 |
| hiexpo | 7 seconds | 06:20 |
| joelcnz | I'm trying to update my ubuntu to use 3rd party stuff for them to work in my programs. | 06:21 |
| YankDownUnder | joelcnz, Um...can you elaborate? Cuz it's easy enough to install the "restricted" extras... | 06:23 |
| joelcnz | I've edited the sources.list. I've been trying to follow in this web page: http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Install_Allegro5_From_SVN/Linux/Debian | 06:25 |
| iRabbit | is it possible to run Ubuntu with Cascade Linux on multiple VMs? | 06:25 |
| Inumedia | Anyone know of any settings in X that changes how fast a touchpad will move the mouse? Not the overall speed but horizontal vs vertical speed. | 06:25 |
| hiexpo | Inumedia, you on ubuntu ? | 06:27 |
| Inumedia | Maverick. | 06:27 |
| iRabbit | pew pew | 06:27 |
| Inumedia | I'm using a synaptic touchpad. | 06:27 |
| hiexpo | don't you have mouse in prefs | 06:27 |
| hiexpo | oh | 06:28 |
| Inumedia | I do. But nothing pertaining to what I want to change,. | 06:28 |
| shoeless | Hey! Does anyone have any experience compiling GNU Octave for Ubuntu? | 06:28 |
| hiexpo | pointer speed acceleration | 06:28 |
| Flannel | shoeless: Why are you trying to compile it? | 06:28 |
| Inumedia | hiexpo: That effects the overall acceleration. Not vertical vs horizontal. | 06:28 |
| hiexpo | Inumedia, oh yes | 06:29 |
| shoeless | Flannel: I need the latest version for the predator OpenTLD Project. Latest is 3.4.0, latest deb in the repos is 3.2.x | 06:29 |
| Inumedia | I need something that pertains to vertical vs horizontal. | 06:29 |
| iRabbit | Cascade Linux + Ubuntu..... jury still out on if you can run multiple VMs with Ubuntu? | 06:29 |
| hiexpo | probally in config file | 06:29 |
| Inumedia | xorg.conf has nothing pertaining to my touchpad settings. | 06:30 |
| shoeless | Flannel: My main question is that make fails because it can't find texi2dvi, even though it is installed on my system. I'm wondering if adding the --disable-docs string to configure will fix me up. | 06:30 |
| jtannenbaum | ok so I'd really like to know how to get rid of this: http://i.imgur.com/g7rFp.png I've tired booting to a previous kernel but nothing fixes these bugs | 06:31 |
| Inumedia | It gets fixed when I change it to get interpreted as a PS2 mouse instead of a touchpad. But then I lose my scrolling ability. | 06:31 |
| shoeless | Flannel: I'm compiling now, so its not critical, but it takes upwards of a couple hours to compile on my machine, so I was just curious. | 06:31 |
| hiexpo | there is an x y config i have seen it before on early distro i think 9.10 | 06:31 |
| YankDownUnder | Not sure with the mouse bit, but have you tried editing the xorg.conf? | 06:32 |
| iRabbit | modprobe ftw | 06:33 |
| hiexpo | texidvi-dev | 06:33 |
| Inumedia | I did modprobe | 06:33 |
| Inumedia | But then I lost my scrolling ability. | 06:33 |
| Inumedia | And like I said | 06:34 |
| Inumedia | xorg.conf has nothing pertaining to my touchpad or any input devices. | 06:34 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: That provides it? | 06:34 |
| hiexpo | yes | 06:34 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: Its already present on my system from a texinfo install, make just won't recognize it. | 06:34 |
| Inumedia | When I used modprobe, it fixed the issue, but created another issue which was equally as bad. | 06:34 |
| hiexpo | shoeless, you have texidvi-dev installed | 06:35 |
| YankDownUnder | Have you installed the "Synaptics Touchpad Utility" and mucked around with it, yet? (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad) | 06:35 |
| dr_Willis | its posible you could add some lines to xorg to try to fix things. but its hard to tell. touchpad stuff in X has changed so much over the last few releases | 06:35 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: Er, no, but it doesn't show up in an aptitude search. | 06:36 |
| YankDownUnder | (Link above in last statement) | 06:36 |
| Inumedia | YankDownUnder: One second and I'll try | 06:36 |
| hiexpo | shoeless, open synaptic and look | 06:36 |
| iRabbit | what kernel are you using Inumedia? a synaptic touchpad is pretty common and should be in your kernel mods | 06:36 |
| Inumedia | uname -a = Linux Inumedia-PC 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux | 06:37 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: No package with texidvi-dev as a name, either installed or uninstalled | 06:38 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: through synaptic and aptitude both | 06:38 |
| hiexpo | run make again see what it complains shoeless | 06:38 |
| Inumedia | YankDownUnder: I installed it and when I try to use it in the command line it says it could not open the PS/2 Port. | 06:38 |
| iRabbit | Inumedia, I'd try updating your kernel, but I've been wrong before | 06:38 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: doing now, but it takes upwards of a couple hours, so I won't be getting results anytime soon. | 06:39 |
| joelcnz | I would be interested in updating my OS with non-free turned on. I'm not completely sure if that makes a lot of sence. | 06:39 |
| Inumedia | I downloaded this and installed it earlier today. I believe it's the most updated. | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | Inumedia: Can you reproduce this problem with a stock Ubuntu kernel? | 06:39 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: I ended up running configure with --disable-docs, as texi2dvi is really only used by the docs (as I understand it) | 06:39 |
| iRabbit | Inumedia, here is what I'm running: 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 19:00:26 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux | 06:39 |
| Inumedia | Jordan_U: Possibly? This is literally a fresh install of Maverick. | 06:40 |
| YankDownUnder | Inumedia, it's most likely not seeing a port that requires a module to load....did you read through all the other bits on the dox site? Like the bit about "Enabling True Multi-touch" and all that jazz? | 06:40 |
| hiexpo | you sure you spell that right texi2dvi | 06:40 |
| Jordan_U | Inumedia: Sorry, I misread your uname output. | 06:40 |
| Inumedia | This laptop is two years old, to my knowledge it should not have multi-touch. | 06:40 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: Absolutely sure. texi2dvi. on parallel with texi2html and texi2pdf | 06:41 |
| mithran | hi all, If i install sunvirtualbox, can i try to install a distribution using LVM? also what would you recommend i use virtualbox or vmware player? | 06:41 |
| Jordan_U | Inumedia: "Multi touch" touchpads have been common for more than two years. It's just that most Windows users don't know about it. | 06:41 |
| Thrawn | where could i get new .ogg alert sounds for ubuntu | 06:41 |
| dr_Willis | mithran - i perfer virtualbox these days | 06:42 |
| Inumedia | Jordan_U: From the documentation I've read, it's only recently been released from Synaptic since 2010. | 06:42 |
| iRabbit | Jordan_U, true story | 06:42 |
| Inumedia | And it's not my concern. | 06:42 |
| Inumedia | YankDownUnder: My bad, I wasn't running it with sudo | 06:42 |
| iRabbit | Inumedia, I highly recommend updating your kernel, modprobe, and see if you are still having an issue | 06:42 |
| hiexpo | shoeless, trying to find it | 06:42 |
| Inumedia | iRabbit: I'm updating everything currently. It will take some time. | 06:43 |
| mithran | can i use LVM to install on virtual box then? can i create 2 vdi files and use them? | 06:43 |
| Thrawn | where could i get new .ogg alert sounds for ubuntu? | 06:43 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: try install texinfo, it should drop it into /usr/bin | 06:43 |
| mithran | dr_Willis ^ that was to you.. | 06:43 |
| iRabbit | Inumedia, kk | 06:43 |
| dr_Willis | mithran i dont see why you would want to use 2 vdi files. | 06:43 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: that is, installing the texinfo package should drop texi2dvi into /usr/bin | 06:43 |
| YankDownUnder | Inumedia, Funny how that works like that :) | 06:43 |
| Jordan_U | Inumedia: I have a 4 year old laptop from Dell whose touchpad recognises the difference between 1, 2, and 3, fingers allowing me to among other things scroll by using a three finger drag. Maybe "Multi touch" means something more than that, but what I have described has been available for a long time. | 06:43 |
| mithran | dr_Willis: so you mean 2 partitions on 1 vdi file? | 06:43 |
| hiexpo | shoeless, what you trying to compile octave | 06:44 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: yeah, octave 3.4.0 | 06:44 |
| mithran | i want to emulate 2 disks, to sort of try a raid config | 06:44 |
| TViYH | what is the swedish channel | 06:44 |
| Inumedia | Jordan_U: Again, multi-touch currently isn't my concern. I'm more concerned about fixing the cursor speed. | 06:44 |
| dr_Willis | mithran you could partiton the virutal disks however you want. but i dont see what you gain by emulateing a raid. | 06:44 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: the most current in the Ubuntu repos is 3.2.x | 06:44 |
| rww | TViYH: #ubuntu-se | 06:44 |
| dr_Willis | mithran if you just want toplay with things.. that could work | 06:45 |
| hiexpo | shoeless, what version ubuntu you on | 06:45 |
| YankDownUnder | Inumedia, Just for giggles and grins, have you checked out the settings in the Mouse control utility in your Preferences menu? | 06:45 |
| Inumedia | Yes. | 06:45 |
| Inumedia | Multiple times. | 06:45 |
| mithran | dr_Willis: Im sorry i think my concept is all wrong...i think i just realized...m intention is to try to install on software raid...i can use the distros LVM install option to do that right? | 06:45 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: 10.10 | 06:46 |
| hiexpo | shoeless, oki minute | 06:46 |
| Inumedia | Along with installing gpointing and checking the settings on that aswell. | 06:46 |
| dr_Willis | mithran - I tend to keep vbox setups very simple. guess you can try | 06:46 |
| mithran | dr_Willis: i have only one machine to try it on.. :) | 06:47 |
| Jordan_U | Inumedia: When you say "horizontal vs vertical" do you mean that it for instance goes faster left to right than up to down? | 06:48 |
| ActionParsnip | shoeless: what version of octave do you desire? | 06:48 |
| Inumedia | Yes. | 06:48 |
| Inumedia | That is exactly what I mean. | 06:48 |
| shoeless | ActionParsnip: 3.4.0, the most recent stable | 06:48 |
| Inumedia | Jordan_U: Infact, that is word-for-word the way I've been describing it since I tried Lucid for a week and has the same issue. | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | mithran: Yes, two virtual hard drives in a virtual machine will work the same as two physical drives in a physical machine for all intents and purposes. | 06:49 |
| dr_Willis | vbox is fun to play with | 06:50 |
| Inumedia | argh. Why does all of the links to Ubuntu.com with https keep timing out? | 06:50 |
| dr_Willis | inumedia ive heard the site has been down for some today. | 06:50 |
| Inumedia | Jordan_U: Have you got any idea as to what's causing this issue? | 06:51 |
| ActionParsnip | shoeless: I can't find a ppa | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | Inumedia: No. | 06:51 |
| Inumedia | ;_; | 06:52 |
| shoeless | ActionParsnip: for octave? yeah, I know. I'm coming from source here | 06:52 |
| ashmew2 | Hi , Hard disk temperature hitting 45 Degree Celsius , is that something i should be worried about ? | 06:52 |
| shoeless | ActionParsnip: which is causing me all of this fun (of the Dwarf Fortress variety) | 06:52 |
| Inumedia | I do believe I'm going to file this as a bug and hopefully get a fix sometime soon. | 06:52 |
| ActionParsnip | shoeless: even natty is using 3.2. Are there significant bug fixes in the newer versions or is it purely extra features? | 06:53 |
| shoeless | ActionParsnip: it deals with the usage of the tilde as a dummy variable, apparently. | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | shoeless: could log a bug, it may get included sooner | 06:54 |
| mithran | does fedora have an option to install using lvm? | 06:54 |
| mithran | the default fedora live cd? | 06:54 |
| Jordan_U | Inumedia: There does appear to be options for this type of compensation though, looking in "man synaptics". | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | mithran: fedora isn;t supported here | 06:54 |
| shoeless | ActionParsnip: I'm installing it as a dep for OpenTLD, an object tracking algo | 06:54 |
| ActionParsnip | mithran: this is ubuntu support ONLY | 06:54 |
| mithran | ActionParsnip: ok..sorry.. | 06:55 |
| shoeless | ActionParsnip: Included sooner in Ubuntu? Or in Octave? | 06:55 |
| ActionParsnip | shoeless: ubuntu most likely | 06:55 |
| fisix | is it possible to shrink and install a windows partition besides a linux partition encrypted by ecryptfs? | 06:55 |
| Jordan_U | Inumedia: Option "VertResolution" and Option "HorizResolution". These values will be used to create a ratio (read the man page for a better explanation). | 06:55 |
| shoeless | ActionParsnip: Sounds good, will do, until then I'm compiling with configure --disable-docs and seeing where that goes. It takes quite a time to compile though, so no instant results. | 06:56 |
| dr_Willis | fisix a partition wont matter. unless you are doing somting matter. | 06:56 |
| Jordan_U | fisix: Yes. (as long as I parsed that sentence correctly and you don't expect the Windows partition to be encrypted with ecryptfs as well). | 06:56 |
| shoeless | ActionParsnip: Thanks for your help. | 06:56 |
| Inumedia | Hm | 06:56 |
| dr_Willis | fisix - you may want to clarify what you are trying to do. | 06:57 |
| dr_Willis | (windows) (linux encrypted partition) (swap) (others) | 06:57 |
| hiexpo | shoeless, looks like there are a lot of issues with this version of octave | 06:57 |
| fisix | Jordan_U, dr_Willis sorry, that was a bit ambiguous haha. i mean i have an encrypted ubuntu partition right now. i want to shrink it so that i have space to install windows 7. wat do? | 06:58 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: haha, I'm discovering. seems that I need this version though. Its a dependency thing. | 06:58 |
| Inumedia | Jordna_U: The problem is, nothing relating to my touchpad is in xorg.conf | 06:59 |
| Inumedia | Where would I look to edit the configuration? | 06:59 |
| hiexpo | shoeless, octave is a dependency ? | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | fisix: ecryptfs works at the file level, so as long as the underlying filesystem can be resized (which it can) you can resize with ecryptfs as well. | 06:59 |
| shoeless | hiexpo: yeah, for the OpenTLD object trackin algorithm | 06:59 |
| hiexpo | shoeless, oh ok | 06:59 |
| fisix | Jordan_U, what do u suggest i use to resize? gparted? or must i go through ecryptfs to resize | 07:00 |
| Jordan_U | fisix: GParted. | 07:00 |
| Jordan_U | Inumedia: Create the section yourself. | 07:00 |
| fisix | Jordan_U, kk, thanks! | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | fisix: You're welcome. | 07:01 |
| * Inumedia has no idea how :P | 07:01 | |
| Inumedia | Well | 07:01 |
| Inumedia | I have a vague idea I'll look into | 07:01 |
| shoeless | Can anyone guide me through submitting a bug report requesting the version of a package to be upgraded? | 07:02 |
| Jordan_U | shoeless: Is there a specific bug / problem fixed by the newer version? Do you want this to be done in a release before 11.10 ? | 07:03 |
| shoeless | Jordan_U: The newer version is required as a dependency. It also implements newer features of the software (which is octave). Not necessary, but helpful. | 07:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !bug | 07:05 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 07:05 |
| Inumedia | Jordan_U: Upon adding the section to xorg.conf, how do I restart X? | 07:05 |
| Jordan_U | Inumedia: Log out then back in again. | 07:05 |
| Inumedia | k, brb :P | 07:05 |
| dr_Willis | indumeda sudo service gdm restart | 07:05 |
| dr_Willis | logging out may or may not restart the X server | 07:06 |
| shoeless | ActionParsnip: is that the same process for request of a newer version? Also, because I need the newest version, it isnt installed, and when it is, it won't be an ubuntu provided package. | 07:06 |
| Jordan_U | !sru | shoeless | 07:07 |

| Rehan | is there any way to monitor system/cpu temperature in gnome-panel on ubuntu for a laptop? | 08:08 |
| XceptN | Dominater: cat /etc/lsb-release | 08:09 |
| TimR | Dominater: lsb_release | 08:09 |
| ruan | !version | 08:09 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 08:09 |
| TimR | Well, actually, lsb_release -a, or what XceptN said | 08:09 |
| Dominater | No LSB modules are available | 08:10 |
| Teeko | does a firewall come with ubuntu? for the life of me i cant find it if so... | 08:10 |
| ruan | !ufw | 08:11 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 08:11 |
| ruan | you might want to install gufw in that case | 08:11 |

| ruan | or backup beforehand. | 08:37 |
| ruan | Captain_Haddock: auth.log? any place that logs connections | 08:38 |
| devilirium | litropy: You would do that in the advanced section of the partitioning, andd you would give the mount point of '/' to your root. Also make sure to create a swap partition. For more details on this topic, please use the mighty Goggle =) | 08:38 |

| phonex01 | guys im trying to update my ubuntu but i have strange error | 09:09 |
| phonex01 | said something about partial update | 09:09 |

| CloCkWeRX | hi guys, I (stupidly) have killed my desktop experience. I upgraded to natty, and then tried to enable desktop-cube under compiz-fusion settings. Sadly this disabled all of the unity /largedesktop/whatever it is; and the ability to run any kind of application that isn't already open. any suggestions on how I climb out of this hole? (ie: how I might swap back to 'classic') | 09:14 |

| TimR | Fudge: You can't, that's why it's called a dependency | 09:24 |

| Samo502 | Hey everybody | 09:43 |
| WaltherFI | hello | 09:44 |
| === joshua is now known as Guest81933 | ||
| Samo502 | Anyone else get an issue where certain areas of the screen simply don't seem to notice the mouse is there in any way? | 09:45 |
| WaltherFI | you can't click or what? | 09:46 |
| Samo502 | well it simply doesn't interact with the mouse at all | 09:46 |
| Jaxxx | problem: I installed ubuntu netbook edition on my eeepc. Now it boots up to the point that you get ubuntu 10.10 and than it leaves a blank screen | 09:46 |
| Samo502 | for instance the mouse doesn't change when hovering over something that should cause it to | 09:46 |
| Jaxxx | tried to change the resolution but nothing | 09:46 |
| Jaxxx | can't go back to terminal either | 09:47 |
| Samo502 | it's *probably* that i'm on 11.04 beta though, but still it's good to know if it's a regular issue | 09:47 |
| Jaxxx | anyone seen this before?? | 09:47 |
| Samo502 | so you boot into it and get a blank screen? | 09:47 |
| WaltherFI | Samo502: oh. join #ubuntu+1 for natty | 09:47 |
| WaltherFI | Jaxxx: try booting to recovery mode or previous kernels | 09:47 |
| Jaxxx | yep, boot up works until you see the graphical screen that say's ubuntu 10.10 | 09:47 |
| Samo502 | WaltherFI: i noticed that in the header/topic, but i suppose it is a beta issue after all. no worries then in that case | 09:48 |
| acpi__ | I cant boot up furter then tty1 and the error is supposed to be: /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs: No such file or directory ... need help fixingthat | 09:48 |
| Samo502 | because as soon as the full release comes out on the 28th i'll just update-manager -d anyway | 09:48 |
| Rehan | how could i decrease the sensitivity of my touchpad in ubuntu? anytime i'm typing and my palm accidentally hits the touchpad, my cursor jumps | 09:48 |
| Jaxxx | on startup I do get " ureadaheadprocess terminated with status 5 | 09:49 |
| Tyrnis | plop all | 09:49 |
| WaltherFI | Samo502: no matter if it is a beta issue, you should talk to people/devs in there | 09:49 |
| Samo502 | Rehan: i'm gonna guess you're on 10.10? | 09:49 |
| WaltherFI | Samo502: to let them know at least | 09:49 |
| Rehan | Samo502: yep | 09:49 |
| Samo502 | Rehan: it'd definitely be in either administration or preferences, probably preferences someplace | 09:50 |
| === Lorthirk is now known as Lorthirk`ZNC | ||
| Samo502 | never used netbook edition as of yet(though i plan on getting ubuntu on this netbook here soon) so i couldn't say what exactly you'd go to | 09:50 |
| Rehan | Samo502: what would i be looking for? I found mouse and pointing device, neither has any option to control sensitivity of touchpad taps or turn it off | 09:50 |
| Samo502 | hmm, what about changing the normal pointer sensitivity? | 09:51 |
| acpi__ | I cant boot up furter then tty1 and the error is supposed to be: /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs: No such file or directory ... need help | 09:51 |
| Rehan | Samo502: that only controls speed of movement | 09:51 |
| Samo502 | wouldn't that make your mouse not jump so bad? | 09:52 |
| Samo502 | because when your hand touches the touchpad like that, the touchpad reads it odd because of how it's being touched | 09:52 |
| Samo502 | so it interprets it as some weird movement | 09:52 |
| Samo502 | for instance on most touchpads, if you place a finger on say, a corner. and try moving your mouse it'll go nutty sometimes | 09:53 |
| Rehan | Samo502: hmm i suppose. i guess what i'm looking for is a way to turn tapping off or at least disable touchpad while typing | 09:53 |

| Diverdude | When i have a file, eg. just a normal text file which is located in a folder, i can use nautilus to browse there just fine. When i then mark the file and press enter to open it in gedit a box pops up with 4 choices: {"run in terminal","Display","Cancel","Run"}. This box is oky. It is however extremely annoying that the cancel option is selected by defeault so that i need to either use the mouse to select the "Display" option or ALT-TAB 4 t | 09:56 |
| Diverdude | imes to select display. Is there any way to make the default selected option to be "Display" instead of "cancel"? | 09:56 |

| Diverdude | Samo502, i can accept the prompt...but that default selection is just totally ridicolous...it makes me insane | 09:58 |
| goofed37 | is there a grub room? | 09:58 |
| iceroot | jkr801: normally you can say the nx-client which user you want to be | 09:59 |
| iceroot | goofed37: what about try it? #grub | 09:59 |

| brigadis | When you use nautius to browse a samba share, and try to drag and drop a song into rhytmbox it doesn't recgonize it. The solution is to copy the song to the machine first, and then transfer it to the ipod in rhytmbox. Anyone know of a workaround ? | 09:59 |

| epril | ruan: am always using dat command | 10:48 |
| landingonwater | Im giving Evolution a chance. Why is It they wont fix a simple problem like deletion of google mails ? It seems strange. | 10:48 |

| Bisaya | How do i add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= into grub | 10:49 |
| epril | Samo502: It is always telling me "Failed to download repository information" | 10:49 |
| ruan | Bisaya: just guessing, but grub.cfg in /boot? | 10:49 |
| Bisaya | ruan: yeah, its jsut i dont know where in that text file i can add the entry in | 10:49 |
| Cube`` | where does ubuntu keep mysql stuff, i.e. the root password? i would like to purge and remove everything | 10:49 |
| Bisaya | i dont wanna add it to the top or bottom if its meant to be in the middle etc | 10:50 |
| arand | Bisaya: /etc/default/grub | 10:50 |
| ruan | Cube``: sudo apt-get purge mysql-server | 10:50 |
| Samo502 | arand: he's asking where in the file | 10:50 |
| lars_ | i want to install ubuntu on my pc. should i install 10.10 or11.04 | 10:51 |
| Bisaya | ah ty arand | 10:51 |
| Samo502 | 10.10 for now, lars | 10:51 |
| SixtyFold | lars 10.10 probably is better to start | 10:51 |
| lars_ | okl | 10:51 |
| Samo502 | 11.04 is a bit harder to navigate | 10:51 |
| lars_ | and in 3 days you will say 11.04 .D | 10:51 |
| epril | it is always " E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 10:51 |
| lars_ | ah ok | 10:51 |
| arand | Bisaya: Then run update-grub to propagate these into the grub.cfg file | 10:51 |
| lars_ | KDE ill take ? | 10:51 |
| Samo502 | they made some huge changes | 10:51 |
| SixtyFold | gnome by default | 10:51 |
| Samo502 | and applications aren't really organized as wel | 10:52 |

| aydee | hey, hi!!))) | 10:52 |
| Samo502 | epril: if there's a third party repo causing this it would make sense | 10:52 |
| aydee | help | 10:52 |
| WaltherFI | !ask |aydee | 10:52 |
| ubottu | aydee: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 10:52 |
| Samo502 | epril: like for instance their file may not be formatted right(as the error you pasted implies) | 10:52 |
| epril | Samo502: what will i do | 10:53 |
| arand | Bisaya: If you want to add the options manually, the "wrong way", you'd add them at the end of the "linux ...." line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 10:53 |
| Samo502 | epril: well unless it's causing trouble like having you constantly update without needing to or thinking it's out of date when it isn't, then i wouldn't bother wtih anything drastic | 10:54 |
| === sean is now known as Guest64749 | ||
| Bisaya | I'd rather not since i couldnt find the line there, i jsut found it on /default folder tho | 10:54 |
| Bisaya | arand: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" | 10:54 |
| Bisaya | would changing that help me | 10:54 |
| Samo502 | as long as you know when you update and the only thing effected is the text, then there's little need to change anything and it may fix itself eventually | 10:54 |
| Bisaya | im having problems when rebooting, it shows blank/colored screen with lines | 10:55 |
| === bob875 is now known as ktamas | ||
| === wolfy is now known as Guest96552 | ||
| Samo502 | Bisaya: as in no splash screen? | 10:56 |
| Bisaya | i dont even know what splash screen is | 10:56 |
| arand | Bisaya: Those options control whether or not the splash screen, and the linux kernel boot log will be shown. | 10:56 |
| Bisaya | i just read somewhere that making gfxpayload=text will stop my blankscreen/color lines error | 10:56 |
| Samo502 | Bisaya: the splash screen is the loading graphic when you boot | 10:56 |
| Bisaya | splash screen=login where i enter my pw screen? | 10:56 |
| === lvjunqi is now known as swearos | ||
| Samo502 | that is somewhat a splash screen yes, but not exactly what i'm referring to | 10:57 |
| Bisaya | ok so best leave that right | 10:57 |
| Bisaya | gRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="gfxpayload=text" << i think that should solve my problem | 10:57 |
| Samo502 | it's probably referring to the graphic that shows the OS is loading | 10:57 |
| Bisaya | yeah i don't get to see that screen! | 10:58 |
| SixtyFold | does anyone else use ClamAV and know about the antivirus engine being at 96.5 and the gui version being at 4.26, for the gui version it tells me for sure there is a newer version but sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade doesnt seem to get it for me? | 10:58 |
| Bisaya | normally u would see ubuntu and like 4dots under it colored white/orange | 10:58 |
| Samo502 | me either i get a missing deb error | 10:58 |
| Bisaya | but i dont get to see it, coz it crashes | 10:58 |

| === maxb_ is now known as Guest2228 | ||
| atlef | freaky[t], acetoneiso | 10:59 |
| Samo502 | freaky[t]: and trick it into thinking it's a CD like you can with alcohol in windows? | 10:59 |
| freaky[t] | Samo502: like Daemon Tools for windows | 11:00 |
| === Guest2228 is now known as mmb | ||
| SixtyFold | yah | 11:00 |
| Samo502 | daemon tools and alcohol both do the same thing, so yeah | 11:00 |
| SixtyFold | same thing | 11:00 |
| SixtyFold | acetoneiso is what you want freaky[t] | 11:00 |
| === mmb is now known as MMB | ||
| Samo502 | i always thought that they had an alcohol for linux | 11:00 |
| freaky[t] | ok thank you | 11:00 |
| MMB | Hi, anyone here have wireless N working well? | 11:01 |
| oCean | freaky[t]: you can use -o loop in mount command, e.g. 'sudo mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /mnt' | 11:01 |
| freaky[t] | oCean: ok thanks ;D | 11:02 |
| freaky[t] | thank you all | 11:02 |
| Samo502 | oCean: i was just reading you could do it via terminal | 11:02 |
| Bisaya | arand: that just seems like a lot of confusing stuff | 11:03 |
| Bisaya | talking about grub 1.97 | 11:03 |
| Bisaya | i just want something that will make it so i dont have to close my laptop lid, then press the on button to wake up and see the login screen lol :( | 11:03 |
| arand | Bisaya: ~grub2 the version number is just odd | 11:03 |
| oCean | Samo502: sure, the linux cmdline is extremely powerful, no need for special programs/software/tools | 11:04 |
| Samo502 | oCean: yeah that's a big way linux contrasts to windows | 11:04 |
| arand | Bisaya: If you just remove "quiet splash" from the default options, you might at least get some information about the issue | 11:04 |
| Samo502 | linux comes packaged to do all sorts of things right off the bat | 11:04 |
| Samo502 | windows provides the basics and people add to it from there | 11:05 |
| Bisaya | arand: so if i remove quiet splash, wil i still be able to boot | 11:05 |
| Bisaya | i just have to pick options n al that | 11:05 |
| SixtyFold | yah, you just have to be careful because it's a lot easier to break linux | 11:05 |
| SixtyFold | hahah | 11:05 |
| SixtyFold | imho | 11:05 |
| arand | Bisaya: You should be yes. | 11:05 |
| Bisaya | ok | 11:05 |
| Samo502 | yeah linux isn't really an idiot's OS :P | 11:05 |
| Bisaya | i'll try that | 11:05 |
| arand | Bisaya: What you can do termpoarily... | 11:05 |
| Bisaya | after gfxpayload=text | 11:05 |
| Samo502 | that's why my dad's account on ubuntu is desktop user status | 11:05 |
| oCean | let's get back on the (support) topic, ok? chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 11:06 |
| Bisaya | or should i try the spash thing before gfxpayload=text | 11:06 |
| SixtyFold | my parents can barely handle win7, theyd be screwed | 11:06 |
| arand | Bisaya: Is at boot time go into the grub menu, press e to edit the entry, and remove those two options there, that will only boot with that once, not add it permanently | 11:06 |
| tuhin | my kernel is 2.6.35 and according to http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature i don't need latest 2.6.38 for power savings to work on my Radeon x1700 based FireGL 5200 , so why my GPU is running hot when there is no gfx intensive work running? | 11:07 |
| Bisaya | oh ok yeah i've seen that earlier | 11:07 |
| Bisaya | ok let me try that first | 11:07 |
| Bisaya | and i'll come back, cheers | 11:07 |
| arand | SixtyFold: Depending on presumptions, a well setup linux desktop is harder to break and easier to use than the windows counterpart. | 11:07 |
| SixtyFold | arand, i think it depends on the user too of course, in general linux is easier for *me* to break, because i'm always trying new stuff xD | 11:08 |
| nod3w | opensuse always breaks, no matter what the user is doing | 11:09 |
| Koiti | -- | 11:09 |
| SixtyFold | hehe nod3w | 11:09 |
| peeq | Hi, I am installing natty on another partition, while installing if I a specify /home to an already existing one consisting of app settings, will this natty overwrite that drive or use the already existing settings in /home? | 11:11 |
| Cube`` | how can i make a program (znc) start automatically on boot as a specific user? i.e. not as root (which would happen in /etc/init.d, right?) | 11:12 |
| dustin_ | hi | 11:12 |
| Samo502 | Cube``: use the startup applications GUI maybe? | 11:12 |
| dustin_ | hi | 11:12 |
| p1n9v1n | any tutorial kaffeine + sc plugin? | 11:12 |
| Cube`` | Samo502: its a server | 11:12 |
| arand | peeq: Afaik, if you don't specify it to be formatted, the data will remain. | 11:13 |
| oCean | peeq: still, a backup is always a good idea | 11:14 |
| Samo502 | Cube``: hmm, if you added it that way with the proper parameters it could work maybe | 11:14 |
| Samo502 | i don't think it would be much different from making a shortcut to start it | 11:15 |

| rooney_ | Macer: no | 11:16 |

| Macer | rooney_: can i remove it and readd it to the pool? | 11:16 |
| Macer | remove the misnamed one | 11:17 |
| Macer | it had an opensolaris dev name | 11:17 |
| dustin_ | welcome to our humble channel | 11:17 |
| dustin_ | ") | 11:17 |
| Samo502 | dd214: i've gotten that error before, change the permissions and make sure everyone can read the file | 11:17 |
| Macer | "was /dev/dsk..." | 11:17 |
| Macer | :( | 11:17 |
| p1n9v1n | you can change label in disk utility | 11:17 |
| Macer | the zpool wont mount until i correct that problem | 11:17 |
| Samo502 | also if it's in a directory with limited permissions it may give you trouble | 11:17 |
| dd214 | Samo502 already tried that.. no go | 11:18 |
| Samo502 | though why music would be stored in such a place would be beyond me | 11:18 |

| peeq | arand, oCean, ok i do have backup of /home. basically i want to try natty and be able to revert back tomaverick, by doing a separate install. | 11:21 |
| Guest64749 | dont waste your time. unity isnt ready yet | 11:21 |
| arand | peeq: I think keeping /home separate might be a good idea still, just copy over the bits you need to the new one. | 11:22 |
| arand | peeq: For natty support #ubuntu+1 | 11:22 |

| josvuk | webmaker: yes it shutsdown but next time I boot get black screens, so I have to switch off and boot again. | 12:05 |
| middle | urm well the system was working maybe an update that i did messed it up perhaps? I was trying to get Minecraft to work on it and i did an update that was all, i ended up un-installing minecraft so perhaps that uninstalled a critical package? is eitehr that or the update messed it up | 12:06 |
| mickster04 | josvuk: how much ram and swap have you got? | 12:06 |
| middle | Now when i boot it up via safe mode i get a black screen, and a regular boot hangs on a command | 12:06 |
| marsfligth | erUSUL: I would like to see for ie: ls -al (thecommand with options + all output) | 12:06 |
| erUSUL | marsfligth: set -x at the beggining of the script. | 12:07 |
| Macer | hm. i forget what the max throughput of pci-x is | 12:07 |
| marsfligth | erUSUL: at the moment i see only the output w/o commands) | 12:07 |
| Macer | my box is resilvering at 100MB/s but i suppose that is a bit different than raw reads at full speed | 12:07 |
| josvuk | Mem: 1547564k total Swap 4541096k total | 12:07 |
| erUSUL | marsfligth: as i said that's normal. what use have a script that outputs all the commands it executes ? that's nosense | 12:08 |
| Cube`` | i just rented a vps. how can i set it up so that it forwards everything to xxx@googlemail.com? | 12:08 |
| iceroot | Cube``: #postfix | 12:08 |
| josvuk | mickster04: That's what top reports me | 12:08 |
| Cube`` | without postfix but with sendmail | 12:08 |
| marsfligth | erUSUL: for intance: [-x ls -al] ? | 12:08 |
| iceroot | Cube``: #sendmail | 12:09 |
| Cube`` | kk thx | 12:09 |
| middle | So any help? | 12:09 |
| iceroot | Cube``: and think about using postfix instead of sendmail | 12:09 |
| Cube`` | iceroot: why? | 12:09 |
| erUSUL | marsfligth: huh? « set -x » in its own line at the beggining of the script. that activates a "debug" mode | 12:09 |
| iceroot | Cube``: ever configured sendmail? | 12:09 |
| Cube`` | iceroot: haha ok | 12:10 |

| capunk_ | hi.. iam a new on ubuntu. would you like to guide me on installing squid, i was crazy on it | 12:22 |
| ro0m0z | jrib: Dr_Willis syrinx_ so why people run a SSH server? | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | !info squid | 12:22 |

| Dr_Willis | capunk_: sudo apt-get install squid | 12:23 |
| jrib | ro0m0z: mostly so they can control a computer remotely | 12:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ro0m0z: so i can ssh to my machines and do 'things' on them as if i was sitting there locally. een if the box is 100000 miles away | 12:23 |
| Bekti | Alone............................................................ | 12:23 |
| Dr_Willis | sshfs is also very handy. mounts remote ssh server as a local directory. | 12:23 |
| capunk_ | @ Dr_Willis how about the configuration, please.. | 12:24 |
| Dominater | i have a tv tunner on ubuntu but which program i should use to use it? | 12:24 |

| Bekti | df | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | capunk_: edit its config as needed. Squid has guides and docs all over the internetz. | 12:24 |
| ro0m0z | Dr_Willis: jibun ...on a "ssh server" can i also host a website? | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | !info tvtime | 12:24 |

| Dr_Willis | ro0m0z: you insrtall a web server to host web sites.. the 2 are not exclusive. one box can do both. and often does | 12:25 |

| g0th | I use latest kubuntu with cups and a network laserjet printer | 12:26 |
| Dominater | why my internet is so slow when i run ubuntu? | 12:26 |
| middle | Ah i will have to give up for now, i will return and work on it later probably, im stuck with Windows 7 from now on :'( | 12:26 |
| middle | ciao and thanks! | 12:27 |
| g0th | It says: Not allowed to print. | 12:27 |
| g0th | If I am not allowed to print, how do I allow myself? | 12:27 |
| Dr_Willis | g0th: depenmds on how the network printer is shareing the printer. Mine uses several differnt methods. | 12:27 |
| g0th | I should note that I can print stuff I just cannot print a testpage or clean the printer | 12:27 |
| g0th | I dont think it depends Dr-Willis | 12:27 |
| g0th | because it is a cups issue not a printer issue | 12:27 |
| marsfligth | erUSUL: I tried to launch the script name > myoutput.txt and again I can't see the commands, what can I do? | 12:27 |
| Dr_Willis | g0th: thats interesting.. so normal uysers work. but not the special features?> | 12:27 |
| g0th | everything works | 12:28 |
| g0th | but the "interface" doesnt seem to work so nice | 12:28 |
| larsto | hello | 12:28 |
| g0th | the printout is very bad quality | 12:28 |
| g0th | so I wanted to clean the printer using cups | 12:28 |
| syrinx_ | hey larsto | 12:28 |
| g0th | but it always tells me "Not allowed to print" | 12:28 |
| Dominater | why my internet is so slow when i run ubuntu? | 12:28 |
| ro0m0z | by the way, what is the command line here if i wanna to join another channel? | 12:28 |
| Macer | g0th: some printers are windows specific | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | g0th: ive noticed that cup some times defaults to using the lowest res on my laser printers.. | 12:28 |
| larsto | i wanted to ask, if i can use 11.04 already or better 10.10 (PRODUCTIVE MACHINE !!) | 12:28 |
| Macer | cups only allows it to print | 12:28 |
| Dr_Willis | g0th: i aslweays have to set them higher using the cups web interface. | 12:29 |
| g0th | this one is definitely not windows specific, also I use it since 2 years | 12:29 |
| g0th | it is not that | 12:29 |
| g0th | it prints the page but kind of "doubled" | 12:29 |
| g0th | Ie. I get the whole picture | 12:29 |
| syrinx_ | larsto: it's pretty much stable now, release date is 3 days :3 | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | No idea on the clean mode. Not even sure how a laser printer has a 'clean head' mode.. | 12:29 |
| larsto | ok | 12:29 |
| g0th | and then a much weaker version of it again a bit lower | 12:29 |
| brontosaurusrex | ro0m0z, /join #channel | 12:29 |
| capunk_ | @Dr_Willis did the squid is automatically run when we turn on the computer | 12:29 |

| Dr_Willis | capunk_: it should be. | 12:30 |
| Macer | most printers have a way to do it locally | 12:30 |
| g0th | how to solve it? | 12:30 |
| larsto | synrix_ have i to re install after release ? | 12:30 |

| larsto | thankxx | 12:31 |

| v3nd3tta`` | I wanted to upgrade from Kubuntu 10.04 to 10.10, used the tutorial MaverickUpgradeKubuntu but it wants to update to "Ubuntu 10.10" | 12:31 |
| Impollinator | Hello guys I have a newbie question | 12:31 |
| Dr_Willis | g0th: this is a laser? not an inkjet? | 12:31 |
| syrinx_ | larsto: daily MIGHT break | 12:31 |
| brontosaurusrex | g0th, the instructions are usually on the back or if you lift the cover, depending on how to printer is build | 12:32 |
| larsto | ok | 12:32 |
| Impollinator | When I start ubuntu from usb. what is the name of my pc? | 12:32 |
| brontosaurusrex | *the | 12:32 |
| g0th | laserjet p2055dn | 12:32 |
| larsto | <v3nd3tta``> why do you want to update ?? | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | Impollinator: if you use the live cd on a usb. its 'ubuntu' i think. check with the hostname command, or the bash prompt shows it. | 12:32 |
| smmsadrnezh | I have Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit desktop. I can't login with X becuz my hard disk is full. when I enter df I saw 100% of / is full | 12:32 |

| v3nd3tta`` | larsto: should i wait the 3 days to 11.04 release and then jump to that? | 12:33 |
| larsto | v3nd3tta`` why do you want to update ?? | 12:33 |
| g0th | stupid me | 12:33 |
| larsto | either stay with 10.04 or upgrade to 11.04 ;) | 12:33 |
| g0th | there is a menu on the printer | 12:33 |
| g0th | should be somewhere in the menu | 12:33 |
| larsto | g0th: what ???? | 12:33 |
| Dominater | why my internet is so slow when i run ubuntu? | 12:33 |
| Impollinator | Dr_Willis thx: listen, can I change my pc adrees on each ubuntu access? | 12:34 |
| Impollinator | In order to look like a total new user each time | 12:34 |

| smmsadrnezh | Dr_Willis: sorry becuz of bad english | 12:35 |
| snoeman | I am new to ubuntu though not to linux. Where are all the configuration options which are available in other distro's such as yast? | 12:35 |
| jrib | marsfligth: set -x as erUSUL suggested, does that | 12:35 |
| Dominater | why my internet is so slow when i run ubuntu? | 12:36 |
| g0th | cleaning didnt help | 12:36 |
| syrinx_ | snoeman: the System menu, and for software, Synaptic works well | 12:36 |
| Impollinator | I need to install an app that allaw you to increase free space when you invite friends. My friends already got that app, so I was thinking to create other accounts my own. | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !hostname | Impollinator | 12:36 |
| ubottu | Impollinator: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 12:36 |
| smmsadrnezh | Dr_Willis: also it's not human readable to find out wich directory is full | 12:36 |
| larsto | !ubuntu | Impollinator | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Impollinator: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 12:37 |
| jrib | marsfligth: note "set -x" will print commands to stderr | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | smmsadrnezh: you may want to do a 'sudo apt-get autoremove' or 'sudo apt-get clean' | 12:37 |
| Impollinator | lol | 12:37 |
| Impollinator | thx | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | smmsadrnezh: directories dont get full.. fileysstems get full. | 12:37 |
| Impollinator | !thx | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | smmsadrnezh: theres system directories that can take up a lot of space also /tmp/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 12:37 |
| snoeman | syrinx_ There is nothing in my system menu to configure the system such as samba | 12:37 |
| smmsadrnezh | I entered ls in / | 12:38 |
| syrinx_ | snoeman: AFAIK theres nothing really like that. That's one of the things that makes SUSE cool | 12:38 |
| smmsadrnezh | Dr_Willis: all of the / directories is in KB | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | smmsadrnezh: you dont want to be deleting stuff at random | 12:39 |
| smmsadrnezh | Dr_Willis: but df show / Use is 100% | 12:39 |
| snoeman | OK thanks | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | smmsadrnezh: start with a 'sudo apt-get autoremove' or 'sudo apt-get clean' | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | smmsadrnezh: then remove stuff from your users dir - if its taking up all the space, /home/yourusername | 12:39 |
| marsfligth | jrib: It works only if I run the batch from 'inside it'. If the batch is named aaa.sh, ad I launch 'aaa.sh > mylog.txt', I can only see the command outputs, but not the commands invoked | 12:39 |
| smmsadrnezh | Dr_Willis: those command's don't work | 12:40 |
| syrinx_ | snoeman: best bet for samba is to config it manually, not sure where the config file it though | 12:40 |
| jrib | marsfligth: you need to redirect stderr (add "2>&1" to your command) | 12:40 |
| smmsadrnezh | Dr_Willis: how i can see folders size in % | 12:41 |
| marsfligth | jrib: Thanks, I never user untill now. I'll go to study a bit. Thanks for help me | 12:41 |

| aif123 | 11.04 how it is doing | 13:06 |

| kumar | Pici, is it necessary that if a user have right to execute sudo command he will have group id 1000 i.e. gid of root | 13:10 |
| Pici | kumar: No. Any user can be put into the admin group, regardless of their uid. | 13:11 |
| terry | capunk_: sudo pkill squid | 13:11 |
| Anubis | erusul: thank you | 13:13 |
| kumar | Pici: that's why i was looking for a command which tells me weather a user can execute sudo command or no | 13:13 |
| Pici | kumar: If its a default ubuntu install, check if that user is in the admin group. | 13:14 |
| ro0m0z | what is the diffrent betwen runlevel local with other run levels in ubuntu? | 13:14 |
| terry | capunk_: sudo /etc/init.d/squid stop Should stop it. (Something wrong if it doesn't.) | 13:15 |
| terry | ro0m0z: Not much difference in runlevels since the advent of upstart. | 13:17 |
| pingvin | is there any codec pack for ubuntu and how to install it? | 13:17 |

| p1n9v1n | dont use it | 13:26 |
| Macer | mkv is the best container ever | 13:26 |
| capunk_ | terry : capunk@capunk-desktop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/squid stop | 13:27 |
| capunk_ | Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) | 13:27 |
| capunk_ | utility, e.g. service squid stop | 13:27 |
| capunk_ | Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an | 13:27 |

| terry | patrunjel: iwconfig | 13:35 |
| patrunjel | terry, can you please be more explicit? :) | 13:35 |
| terry | patrunjel: i.e. iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys ; dhclient wlan0 | 13:35 |
| brontosaurusrex | p1n9v1n, what kind of stream is it? DVB mpeg2 of some sort, avc or what ... ? | 13:35 |
| greenguy | patrunjel da n0ai ceva interfata grafica | 13:36 |
| patrunjel | terry, what is linksys? :) | 13:36 |
| p1n9v1n | dvb mpeg2 satellite broadcast | 13:36 |
| terry | patrunjel: (where linksys is the essid of the router) | 13:36 |
| patrunjel | greenguy, nu, nu-mi apare conexiunea in gui | 13:36 |
| vanguard | how can i tell `gzip` that it should leave the original file where it is? | 13:36 |
| brontosaurusrex | p1n9v1n, from kafeine faq: "Live DVB playback only works with the xine engine. Go to Menu->Settings->Engine and choose "Kaffeine-Xine". Then restart Kaffeine." | 13:37 |
| greenguy | gnome? | 13:37 |
| terry | patrunjel: Alternately you can do: iwconfig wlan0 scanning (Where wlan0 is your wifi device) (It could just as easily be eth1 or eth0) | 13:37 |
| brontosaurusrex | p1n9v1n, http://kaffeine.kde.org/?q=faq#question21 | 13:37 |
| terry | patrunjel: iwconfig without arguemnts will identify your wifi device | 13:37 |
| cowgoesmoo | i've just created a simple share on a windows machine on my network, 'everyone' has full access...when i choose "connect to a server" in ubuntu it asks for a user name and domain name...do i need to specify these? | 13:38 |
| terry | vanguard: It will do that by default. | 13:38 |
| Phong_ | hi guys, i know it is off topic, but may i just ask once? Is it required/proper to wear dress suite to Career Fair ? | 13:38 |
| brontosaurusrex | cowgoesmoo, windows 7? | 13:38 |
| Pici | Phong_: Try #ubuntu-offtopic | 13:38 |
| cowgoesmoo | bronto: yeah | 13:38 |
| vanguard | terry: no, it replaces my test.txt with a test.txt.gz | 13:38 |
| vanguard | terry: but I would like to have both | 13:39 |
| patrunjel | terry, no, it's wlan0 :) . But what is dhclient? I mean, should I replace it with something, or just write it down? | 13:39 |
| brontosaurusrex | brokendatapoint, i just remember reading something about samba and win7..., and that there is some sort of problem, but i cant recall where or what was the solution ... | 13:39 |
| terry | patrunjel: You will need to preface those comands with sudo. dhclient - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client | 13:40 |
| cowgoesmoo | ok. i specified everyone as the username and now it's asking for the "WORKGROUP" domain password...but i don't recall ever setting one :S | 13:40 |
| smmsadrnezh | Pici: how to find size of file? that's work | 13:40 |
| Prolac | are there any limitations in ubuntu netbook remix compared to regular ubuntu? | 13:40 |
| Pici | vanguard: gzip -c test.txt > test.txt.gz | 13:41 |
| patrunjel | terry, now i get SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.. what should I do? :) | 13:41 |
| Pici | smmsadrnezh: ls -lh filename? | 13:41 |
| brontosaurusrex | i meant cowgoesmoo ..., sorry brokendatapoint | 13:42 |
| terry | patrunjel: dhclient will query for a dhcp server. If it finds one, it will ask for IP information, (IP address, gateway address, and nameserver addresses). When the dhcp server responds, the IP information is used to configure your system to access the new network. | 13:42 |
| Pici | vanguard: -c will send gzip's output to stdout, and you can do what you want with it from there. | 13:42 |
| cowgoesmoo | thanks bronto...i'll go and see what google finds | 13:42 |
| vanguard | Pici: thanks! | 13:42 |

| LetsGo67 | Hello chat room! https://bell.ca/home/Home_L_Login.page does not work for me in Opera. Can someone help me please? | 13:54 |
| ben123 | problem solved, I think :) | 13:54 |
| vanguard | erUSUL: logfile, plain ASCII | 13:54 |
| brontosaurusrex | LetsGo67, thats not an ubuntu related | 13:55 |
| ben123 | thx to all others as well | 13:55 |
| p1n9v1n | Failed to open dvb:// :( | 13:55 |
| vanguard | LetsGo67: does it work in other browsers | 13:55 |
| erUSUL | vanguard: if it is too big to go inline use bzip2 | 13:55 |
| terry | LetsGo67: Try firefox | 13:55 |
| LetsGo67 | BrontosaurusRex: It's the Ubuntu browser. The problem's not in Chromium vanguard & terryh. | 13:55 |
| terry | p1n9v1n: Try dvd: | 13:55 |
| vanguard | erUSUL: can I somewhere read up the pro/cons for gzip/bzip2 somewhere? | 13:56 |
| LetsGo67 | terry: Fx4 says "connection not certified". It is begging me to "get me out of here!" | 13:56 |
| thien | my Update Manager do not show the button to update ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10. how to? | 13:56 |
| LetsGo67 | This is Bell the largest ISP/phone/TV in Canada LetsGo67. | 13:56 |
| LetsGo67 | They even have a roaming agreement with TELUS | 13:57 |
| terry | p1n9v1n: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 libdvdnav4 | 13:57 |
| LetsGo67 | i.e: TELUS uses some Bell HSPA towers, vice-versa, TELUS uses Bell Sattelite TV... | 13:57 |
| terry | LetsGo67: accept the cert | 13:57 |
| LetsGo67 | terry: Why does it say that? | 13:57 |
| smmsadrnezh | Pici: / directory | 13:57 |
| Pici | smmsadrnezh: so /root/ does exist | 13:58 |
| LetsGo67 | terry: Typing www.Bell.ca fixes it. | 13:58 |
| cowgoesmoo | brontosaurusrex: got it working...i wanted to share direct between 2 VMs, rather than go via the windows 7 host...installing samba through the software center let's me create a share on the ubuntu VM that the other VM can access straight off with no problems | 13:58 |
| terry | LetsGo67: for your edification | 13:58 |
| p1n9v1n | Package 'libdvdcss2' has no installation candidate | 13:58 |
| jrib | !dvd | p1n9v1n | 13:58 |

| terry | jrib: Tnx | 13:58 |
| LetsGo67 | terry: but not in Opera. How is that supposed to edify me? | 13:58 |
| p1n9v1n | dvd playback is fine | 13:59 |
| erUSUL | vanguard: bzip2 compress more but it is slower | 13:59 |
| terry | LetsGo67: By reading the information, understanding it etc. | 13:59 |
| patrunjel | terry, i couldn't find anything... but there is a little LED turned on, next to it there is a symbol that looks like two circles | 13:59 |
| brontosaurusrex | cowgoesmoo, cool | 13:59 |
| LetsGo67 | terry: Does that mean Bell is not secure, Bell's certificate is expired, etc.? | 13:59 |
| terry | LetsGo67: Is the time correct on your PC? | 14:00 |
| LetsGo67 | terry: It's NTP synced. | 14:00 |
| cowgoesmoo | there's definitely something weird with how windows 7 handles smb...typical, lol | 14:00 |
| greenguy | !ati unity | 14:00 |
| bazhang | p1n9v1n, medibuntu.org has the package | 14:00 |
| terry | LetsGo67: Time and date... are they correct? | 14:00 |
| vanguard | erUSUL: that is what I have gathered so far, both are practiacally ubiquitous, right? So using gzip for compatablility does not make too much sense? And even vim can open both directly. | 14:00 |
| greenguy | ! ati radeon | 14:00 |
| erUSUL | vanguard: well in linux it is ubiquitous yes | 14:00 |
| brontosaurusrex | cowgoesmoo, personally i totaly refuse to play with anything that even remotely smells like windows networking ... | 14:00 |
| erUSUL | !ati | 14:01 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 14:01 |
| patrunjel | terry, i mean, a circle looks like the on/off symbol, and the other one is just a cirle...and they look like you would watch them on a 45 degree angle or something | 14:01 |
| LetsGo67 | terry: Yes, they are synced with Ubuntu. | 14:01 |
| patrunjel | terry, but there was a command that started wifi... wait a second, i will show it to you | 14:01 |
| terry | patrunjel: Try using it and then do iwconfig and see if the output changes. | 14:01 |
| LetsGo67 | terry: they should be, at least. | 14:01 |
| p1n9v1n | i timeshifted and it saved a file in my home diractory which i can play | 14:01 |
| cowgoesmoo | brontosaurusrex: yeah it's always hard work...i tend to lean towards using stuff like LogMeIn or vnc with copy/paste features...just less painful | 14:01 |
| vanguard | erUSUL: okay, in a 14K log file it does not really make any difference (both get it down to 2.4K). I'll just weigh off time/space for each task. Thx! | 14:02 |
| terry | LetsGo67: Then you are good to go. If the cert is ok accept it. | 14:02 |
| p1n9v1n | but video section in kaffeine is transparent | 14:02 |
| patrunjel | terry, it's airmon-ng start wlan0 *this is the command i was talking about* | 14:03 |
| cyoz | alright, I feel I'm getting more confident with apt-get but how does it work exactly.. is there one central service that keeps track of all available apps? | 14:04 |
| cyoz | I mean it goes beyond the software center right? | 14:04 |
| LetsGo67 | terry: Why does www.Bell.ca work but not Bell.ca in Firefox? | 14:04 |
| terry | patrunjel: I am not familiar with airmon-ng | 14:04 |
| syrinx_ | cyoz: do some research on repositories | 14:04 |
| patrunjel | terry, here is the pastebin of the new output of iwconfig : http://pastebin.com/w2g4W8Pw | 14:04 |
| syrinx_ | that should explain everything | 14:04 |
| terry | LetsGo67: Not sure, firefox usually will add www when needed. Mine does. | 14:05 |
| LetsGo67 | Terry: Yet i have Fx4. | 14:06 |
| brontosaurusrex | terry, LetsGo67 i think that www and nowww are basically two different domains, one could host two different sites on them... | 14:06 |
| cyoz | syrinx_, thanks | 14:07 |
| terry | patrunjel: What chipset is it? (use lspci to see) | 14:07 |
| cyoz | it's amazing | 14:07 |
| cyoz | why doesn't windows have that? | 14:07 |
| * syrinx_ shrugs | 14:07 | |
| terry | brontosaurusrex: aaahhhh ok.... | 14:07 |
| LetsGo67 | brontosaurusrex: So maybe i ought to contact Bell regarding this. TELUS and others do not have this issue. | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis | cyoz: apple is moveing that way.. and ive seen similer things for windows. | 14:08 |
| syrinx_ | I guess that would be considered !ot | 14:08 |
| terry | LetsGo67: What country are you in? | 14:08 |
| brontosaurusrex | LetsGo67, yes, but 1st check whats with the browser and its security behaviours and also whats up with adding www automagically... | 14:08 |
| LetsGo67 | Terry: Canada. Accessing the site via TELUS Mobility Internet. | 14:09 |
| rishi_ | Hey guys | 14:10 |
| patrunjel | terry, there is a lot of info...i don't know where to look :) the best that i could find is the ethernet controller :( | 14:10 |
| rishi_ | Need a bit of help | 14:10 |
| syrinx_ | what's up rishi_ | 14:10 |
| rishi_ | Is there a way for me to downgrade from 11.04 to 10.10? | 14:10 |
| bazhang | rishi_, no | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !downgrade | rishi_ | 14:10 |
| ubottu | rishi_: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 14:10 |
| greygjhart | I don't like getting connected on a chan without asking for it just cause I'm using a live CD | 14:10 |
| brontosaurusrex | LetsGo67, for example mozilla has a weird unicode domain name policy, while chrome does try to figure out things automagically | 14:11 |
| rishi_ | Ah ok, so if I want to get back to 10.10 I'd have to reinstall the entire system right? | 14:11 |
| terry | LetsGo67: So, you may see a different behavour than some of the rest of us, (as in me, from different isp and different country). | 14:11 |
| bazhang | rishi_, yes | 14:11 |
| rishi_ | Alright, thanks guys :) | 14:11 |
| terry | patrunjel: ethernet controller is NOT it. | 14:11 |
| LetsGo67 | Terry: Does "mobile Internet key" have anything to do with it? | 14:11 |
| patrunjel | terry, yeah, sorry :) i found it : 01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) | 14:12 |
| botcity | patrunjel, mon0 mon1 are normal devices that are set up through airmon-ng it explains all in the man pages etc | 14:12 |
| LetsGo67 | brontosaurusrex: Why is there incompatability? | 14:13 |
| brontosaurusrex | LetsGo67, two different dev teams? | 14:13 |
| patrunjel | botcity, so should i try to connect mon0 to the wifi source? | 14:13 |
| terry | patrunjel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=600097 maybe useful info. | 14:13 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, there's been a lot of people having problems w/ that device.. it doesnt hook up like the normal 4312 (lp-phy.. i think has somehting to do w/saving battery life) | 14:14 |
| jarvis_ | hi all | 14:14 |
| terry | patrunjel: Maybe not, it's too old. | 14:14 |
| KM0201 | terry, its not to old... its a different device.. the normal 4312, those instructions would work fine.. its the lp-phy what causes the issue. | 14:15 |

| KM0201 | patrunjel, i'm aware of that, and the same problem exists under 10.10 | 14:18 |

| KM0201 | patrunjel, if you look in the repositories, there's a special b43 firmware for the lp-phy devices.. but i can never get it to work right | 14:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Ramada: tap shift like a tapdancer.. just as its booting and it should show a grubn menu. The auto hide feature is disableable in the grub configs | 14:19 |
| Ramada | I'm on 10.10 Maverick. | 14:19 |
| Ramada | Dr_Willis, how would I set Windows as default? | 14:20 |
| terry | patrunjel: Looks like they are pointing to this: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php | 14:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Ramada: then for some odd reason it may not be showing windows in the grub menu. thats fixable in some ways. but it should auto-add it. You could try reruning 'sudo update-grub' and see if it sees it | 14:20 |
| Ramada | Is there a grub.cfg that I can edit? | 14:20 |

| KM0201 | terry, patrunjel keep trying to tell you guys, that !broadcom link, will not work w/ the lp-phy's.. | 14:20 |
| Dr_Willis | theres also a forum thread on using grub. with lots of info | 14:21 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, so what do you recommend doing? | 14:21 |
| p1n9v1n | i'm back | 14:21 |
| terry | patrunjel: Yea that is what you need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 14:21 |
| KM0201 | terry, no thats not what he needs | 14:21 |
| terry | KM0201: Oh? | 14:21 |
| KM0201 | terry, i've said it like 8x.. and you just keep repeating yourself..lol | 14:21 |
| KM0201 | read his device agian.. and note the lp-phy stop searchign for broadcom 4312, and search for broadcom 4312 lp-phy then you'll be enlightened | 14:22 |
| terry | Well, I tell you what I do when I get a laptop with a broadcom wifi device. I replace it. | 14:22 |
| p1n9v1n | is there any way to change refresh rate on old CRT monitor? | 14:22 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, terry for example, i can see a crypted wifi connection, but airodump-ng showed me an uncrypted one, but it doens't show in the upper-right (where the network connections are showed) and that's why i was trying to make it work for the terminal | 14:23 |
| KM0201 | terry, broadcomes work fine, its just those lp-phy devices are causing issues (something to do w/ power saving/battery life) | 14:23 |
| Dr_Willis | p1n9v1n: used to be xorg.conf settings to do that. | 14:23 |
| izinucs | !resolution | p1n9v1n | 14:23 |
| ubottu | p1n9v1n: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 14:23 |
| terry | KM0201: So basically, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php is what he needs. Right? | 14:23 |
| KM0201 | terry, no, read through the list of supported devices, lp-phy is not suppoted | 14:24 |
| p1n9v1n | i have a lot questions, sorry | 14:24 |
| DND | hi guys, i wanted to create a script that will restart a service if the free memory is around 8mb | 14:24 |
| Inumedia | Damn I coulda sworn Notepad++ was cross-platform D: | 14:24 |
| LetsGo67 | Bye room! | 14:24 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, just because a network is unencrypted, it can still choose not to broadcast the ESSID... you can try connecting to a "hidden network".. and see if you can connect to it.; | 14:24 |
| Ramada | Dr_Willis, so I restarted and was able to access the grub menu but no Windows item. | 14:26 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, every button is inactive when i try to do that. I deeded to connect to the network just because i need some acces to the internet, and i thought that i can connect to an unencrypted network :*( | 14:26 |
| terry | KM0201: He has BCM4312 | 14:26 |
| KM0201 | terry, are you talking just to hear yourself talk?.. i have said multiple times, what the problem is with his device, and why your search is failing | 14:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Ramada: hhave you done a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' 'sudo update-grub' recently? | 14:27 |
| KM0201 | terry, again... it is not a 4312, it is a 4312 lp-phy there is a difference | 14:27 |
| terry | KM0201: I'm not talking at all, I'm typing. | 14:27 |
| KM0201 | terry, .. | 14:27 |
| Ramada | Dr_Willis, I just did a fdisk -l and found that there is nothing that says Windows. Did I accidentally overwrite it? | 14:28 |
| Cygfrydd | net | 14:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Ramada: sudo fdisk -l, and there should be some NTFS or fat/vfat partitons. | 14:28 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, terry anyway... there is a special firmware int he repositories for that device (firmware-b43-lpphy) for the lpphy devices.. but it doesn't seem to work for some reason | 14:28 |
| Ramada | Dr_Willis: Linux, Extended and Linux Swap. | 14:29 |

| patrunjel | KM0201, i have already installed it :) | 14:30 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, terry see that last ubottu output.. if it was the same as the 4312... the normal b43 driver would work | 14:30 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, the regular b43 driver, or the b43 lpphy? | 14:30 |
| mongy | ah the old b43 vs wl :) | 14:30 |
| KM0201 | mongy, b43 works fine, when you'r enot using the lp devices.. :) | 14:31 |
| mongy | KM0201, sadly, he and I are | 14:32 |
| KM0201 | mongy, yup.. you had any luck w/ it? | 14:32 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, the lpphy one, why? is there any difference? | 14:32 |
| mongy | KM0201, b43? not since last I tried, its junk. I stick to whats always worked since 9.04 (bcmwl) | 14:32 |
| mongy | well, 8.04 actuall | 14:33 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, i have said multiple times wht the difference is... lpphy is some sort of power saving function broadcom put into the chipsets to help w/ battery life... | 14:33 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, so should i install the other one? the one without lpphy? | 14:33 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, it makes it different than the normal 4312 (which works flawlessly w/ ubuntu, after you activate the STA driver) | 14:33 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, i don't really care about the battery life,as long as i can actually use the wifi :P | 14:34 |
| mongy | I dont know about any other model, but the 4312 LP does really need the STA , imo | 14:34 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, now if you have the lpphy device, why on earth would yo install a driver for a totally different device.. | 14:34 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, the normal b43 driver will NOT WORK... | 14:34 |
| KM0201 | mongy, unfortunately, i haven't had luck getting it working w/ STA either | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had to tell my systems to use STA over b43 befor also i recall. | 14:34 |
| === jarek is now known as Guest4283 | ||
| patrunjel | KM0201, it was recommended when i installed the OS :) | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | I no longer have that laptop. | 14:35 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, so is there any way i can use my wifi? :)) | 14:35 |
| mongy | KM0201, even tried the lpphy firmware in debian, no luck. compiled bcmwl and good to go | 14:35 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, someone didn't know what they were talking about, or they thought you had a normal 4312 (which works fine w/ the b43) | 14:35 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, i've yet to get it working w/ 10.10 but honestly, i've not put a ton of effort into it... | 14:35 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, maybe with 11.04 it will work :)) | 14:36 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, last i checked, the STA driver from broadcom, did not support that device. | 14:36 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, very unlikey (at this point) there's still complaints in +1 about it not working. | 14:36 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, i don't really know what a STA driver is, but i guess you're right :) (you sound right :P ) | 14:37 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, although one person said he got his working after upgrading to 11.04, by resetting his router, and recreating his network... | 14:37 |
| mongy | Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) is what Im using, with STA.. | 14:37 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, i don't have a router, it's the wifi card in my netbook :) | 14:37 |
| KM0201 | mongy, and you got it working?... thats actually the firstive heard that.. perhaps you can help patrunjel | 14:37 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, i see.. | 14:38 |
| mongy | tried b43 as well in my dell mini 9, yet again since 8.04 ive had to use STA to have it work flawless | 14:38 |
| minimec | KM0201: Did not follow the entire story, but using WPA I would try to limit access to either TKIP or AES, but never both. I would first try AES... | 14:38 |
| KM0201 | mongy, like i said, have had zero luck getting that device to work.. (but like i said, i've not really looked into it) | 14:38 |
| minimec | KM0201: ... on the router... | 14:38 |
| mongy | KM0201, i've directed a lot of people towards the STA driver in the past :) | 14:38 |
| KM0201 | minimec, its not a security protocol issue. | 14:38 |
| mongy | he should just activate the sta driver and be done with it. | 14:39 |
| KM0201 | mongy, well, like i said, last i checked (month or so ago) it didn't list support for the lp-phy | 14:39 |
| minimec | KM0201: I had stability problrms with two of my wifi devices and using AES only solved my problem... | 14:39 |
| terry | KM0201: patrunjel has the BCM4312 chip | 14:39 |
| KM0201 | mongy, if that worked for you, thats great, but i've tried "just activating the STA driver" w/o luck on that device | 14:39 |
| KM0201 | terry, at this point, i'm don talking to you, cuz i don't think you grasp the conversation | 14:39 |
| mongy | KM0201, well as far as this laptop goes Ive had since just before 9.10 surfaced, sta worked fine | 14:39 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, so this means that i can't even connect to the wifi networks listed in the network connections tab (in the upper part of the screen) | 14:40 |
| === Matthew is now known as Guest6698 | ||
| terry | patrunjel: Maybe it is working and you are just unable to connect to the router. You might try restartring the router (as KM0201 suggested), I don't know that will change anything but I suppose you could try. | 14:40 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, if your experience is similar to mine.. yes.. the lp-phy did not work w/ the STA driver... the normal 4312 (which I have also) works flawlessly | 14:40 |
| KM0201 | terry, ..lol, your mouse has a scroll wheel on it... scroll back to the beginnning of this conversation, and read it.. then you won't repeat yourself w/ stuff thats been covered (at least 3x) | 14:41 |
| terry | KM0201: If you would stick to sharing information you'd be a lot better off. | 14:41 |
| mongy | I thought broadcom made it open source ages ago, if so, why is this still a problem :( | 14:41 |
| KM0201 | terry, if you stick to stop repeating stuff multiple times, i'd be less frustrated | 14:42 |
| alabd | Good day all , I(humble) want to use buddy pounces in pidgin to log when a buddy signs on and signs off , buddy pounce can run a command while a buddy signs off/on , but how to use this ability for creating logs? | 14:42 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, is it possible to replace the wifi chip from a Acer Aspire One (tis is the one that i'm trying to convice to get wifi) with one that's working? (that can actually get some wifi? :P ) | 14:42 |
| KM0201 | mongy, again, i don't really know.. if you look on broadcom's site, at the STA driver, it says the lp-phy does not work.. so how you got it w/ STA, is a mystery in a riddle.. :) | 14:42 |
| ikonia | alabd: you asked this earlier and where told where to go | 14:42 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, unlikely. | 14:42 |
| syrinx_ | patrunjel: are you using the LiveCD/USB? | 14:42 |
| terry | KM0201: Maybe you should switch to decaf ? | 14:42 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, your best bet in that scenario, would be to find a USB device that works | 14:43 |
| patrunjel | syrinx_, no, i have ubuntu installed | 14:43 |
| syrinx_ | oh | 14:43 |
| mongy | KM0201, Ive always had it work, with other models also. I never knew it was not meant to...... | 14:43 |
| syrinx_ | i have that netbook | 14:43 |
| syrinx_ | wifi works fine | 14:43 |
| genii-around | patrunjel: which model of the Aspire One ? | 14:44 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, you mean a USB that is actually a wifi capture card, and use that instead of the onboard one? (sorry, i'm not good at all with this kind of things :) ) | 14:44 |
| KM0201 | i'm interested in hearing how you guys got this device working... cuz like i said, i've read multiple problem threads w/ that device... | 14:44 |
| SixtyFold | just buy a EEE PC and your problem's solved :P | 14:44 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, yes, a usb wireless adapter | 14:44 |
| terry | syrinx_: Why don't you pastebin some info for us, lmsod lspci iwconfig | 14:44 |
| alabd | ikonia: yes but was there any answer ? | 14:44 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, thank a lot for the tips :) | 14:44 |
| ikonia | alabd: there was, you where told you had to script it, you where also told to ask in #pidgin | 14:45 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, follow some of the others who say they ahve that device working... i honestly have my doubts, but if they do.. see if they have any suggestions | 14:45 |
| syrinx_ | terry: because it's at my house | 14:45 |
| terry | syrinx_: O | 14:45 |
| alabd | ikonia: asked in pidgin and also asked what kind script I(humble) am not programmer | 14:45 |
| syrinx_ | yea :( | 14:45 |
| KM0201 | syrinx_, are you sure its the 4312 lp-phy ? | 14:45 |
| ikonia | alabd: that's not an ubuntu issue, so #pidgin is the correct place to ask | 14:45 |
| JeffJassky | Hey, guys. I'm trying to use wget to download some website content and I'd like to ignore certain file types (pdf, exe, dmg, jpg, gif, png, etc).. is there a way to ignore file types with wget? | 14:46 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, the best way to test it is to find a friend with a router, and test everything (and make it work) in a controlled environment, to say so... i'm now trying to acces some wifi that isn't mine...so maybe it has some sort of passwords and stuff... | 14:46 |
| mongy | KM0201, I dont know how you have not had it working myself. Its always worked for me and its fixed a few peoples wifi problems Ive helped in here and elsewhere. | 14:46 |
| botcity | KM0201, acer aspire one different models different chips mine is a Atheros AR9285 | 14:46 |
| Corey | JeffJassky: There's an exclude flag. | 14:46 |
| syrinx_ | not sure, I see no reason why it shouldn't work though :( | 14:46 |
| KM0201 | botcity, the atheros works fine.. thats not really part of the discussion | 14:46 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, butif my wireless card doesn't work, how come i can scan with aerodump-ng | 14:47 |
| JeffJassky | Corey: Thanks! I'll look that up. | 14:47 |
| KM0201 | mongy, like i said.. if you google broadcom 4312-lpphy there's a lot of threads about it... its not just me. | 14:47 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, i don't use aerodump, have no ide. | 14:47 |
| alabd | ikonia: my question is that how a script can create a log file and each time logs something in ubuntu/linux , it's not related to pidgin now , | 14:47 |
| terry | patrunjel: That is possible. ( You should pastebin lspci ) | 14:47 |
| ikonia | alabd: that is already logged in the syslog | 14:48 |
| mongy | KM0201, the b43-lpphy or the wl | 14:48 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, it's like wireshark, but for wifi. The thing is that it actually captures packets and stuff, so the chip works.. .(i guess) | 14:48 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, i know what it is, i just don't use it. | 14:48 |
| alabd | ikonia: want seprate log file | 14:48 |
| ikonia | alabd: why ? | 14:48 |
| mongy | KM0201, b43/b43-fwcutter and all the like are junk to me. STA (wl) driver always works | 14:48 |
| SixtyFold | so he can stalk his girlfriend while he is sleeping, haha | 14:49 |
| ikonia | SixtyFold: please don't be silly, it's worthless comments that don't help | 14:49 |
| patrunjel | terry, here is the lspci output : http://pastebin.com/TLn0HfK4 | 14:49 |
| KM0201 | mongy, i've never had problems w/ the normal b43 driver... it has always worked fine (as has the STA).. but neither has worked w/ the lp-phy device.. for me | 14:49 |
| mongy | KM0201, idk then. 'just works' here. | 14:49 |
| KM0201 | mongy, if you look in the repositories, there's a special firmware for the lp devices.... | 14:49 |
| mongy | KM0201, I know, I tried it. no good | 14:50 |
| KM0201 | mongy, yup.. | 14:50 |
| alabd | ikonia: see pidgin can run a command when a buddy sign on/off , ok , so now , am not able to write a script that can log time of runing itself each time | 14:50 |
| terry | patrunjel: If I were you, I'd find a well supported one on ebay, swap it out and then sell yours to someone else, (on ebay). Some MS Windows user will do fine with it. | 14:52 |
| Macer | blah | 14:53 |
| KM0201 | terry, since he's obviously interested in injection (which is a whole other issues) some devices might wrk flawlessly in connecting or even monitoring, but there's several that will do both of those, and don't work well (or at all) at injection | 14:54 |
| patrunjel | terry, haha :)) i'm fixing it one way or another...after easter i will go in front of a computer support shop (with free wifi) and just play with it until it works :P | 14:54 |
| mongy | has he even tried sta driver yet | 14:54 |
| KM0201 | mongy, he said earlier he did.. | 14:54 |
| KM0201 | mongy, but granted, most of this conversation has been around the b43./ | 14:54 |
| mongy | removed/blacklisted b43 first? | 14:54 |
| KM0201 | patrunjel, did you try the STA driver | 14:55 |
| KM0201 | brb.. | 14:55 |
| patrunjel | KM0201, what's a STA driver, and how do I try it? :) | 14:55 |
| zaytsev | hi folks | 14:56 |
| zaytsev | anyone could recommend a service manager for maverick? should I use sysv-rc-conf? | 14:57 |
| zaytsev | I am under impression, that it does not cover upstart managed services | 14:57 |
| erUSUL | !upstart | zaytsev | 14:57 |
| ubottu | zaytsev: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 14:57 |
| erUSUL | zaytsev: correct. | 14:57 |
| zaytsev | erUSUL, so what do I use for upstart then? | 14:57 |
| === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|ZNC | ||
| terry | zaytsev: service | 14:58 |
| erUSUL | zaytsev: manual editting in /etc/init/* | 14:58 |
| zaytsev | erUSUL, oh that really sucks. at least dpkg will not change my *.conf files on update? hopefully it will present this diff dialog, right, that's how it works? | 14:59 |
| erUSUL | zaytsev: probably but i've not modified those startup scripts myself so ... | 15:00 |
| zaytsev | erUSUL, RHEL now uses upstart afaik, is there like a port of chkconfig for Ubuntu or so? manual editing just does sound so thrilling... how in the world there is no management tool for that :-/ | 15:00 |
| === erkan^ is now known as zippo^ | ||
| zaytsev | erUSUL, ok, thanks anyway for the hint! | 15:00 |
| Aikar | anyone got an idea of why when i login my .bashrc isnt being ran, and source .bashrc says -sh: source: .bashrc: file not found ... but the file exists O.o | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | zaytsev: i do not think RHEL switched to upstart ... they are doing its own thing ( systemd ) | 15:01 |
| zaytsev | erUSUL, my impression was that they went for upstart in RHEL6 in sequential mode, but I might be wrong | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | Aikar: are you sure you are using bash ? | 15:01 |
| jubei-za | Hello all, just installed ubuntu server 10.04 and am trying to setup a DHCP server, when i try apt-get install dhcp3-server it does not find the package in the repository, how do i put it into the repository or how can i get a copy of dhcp3-server? | 15:02 |
| Aikar | erUSUL: yeah its symlinked | 15:02 |
| erUSUL | Aikar: bash will complain like this « bash: foo: No such file or directory » | 15:02 |
| zaytsev | Aikar, oh, that's also a recurring question of mine.. are we now supposed to use .profile and it should work? | 15:02 |
| mdpatrick | How do I place files in a user's folder (user2) while still being able to access/modify/read them from user1? | 15:02 |
| Aikar | ubuntu defaulted shell to /bin/sh which is symlinked to /bin/bash | 15:03 |
| Aikar | btw im running ubuntu 10.04 lts server | 15:03 |
| minimec | jubei-za: check /etc/apt/sources.list. do you have universe/multiverse activated? | 15:03 |
| erUSUL | Aikar: no; /bin/sh is dash by default and user's login shell is /bin/bash by default | 15:03 |
| Aikar | well ive changed the symlink to be bash | 15:04 |
| Aikar | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-03-19 23:14 /bin/sh -> /bin/bash* | 15:04 |
| jubei-za | hi minimec, i checked sources.list and i seem to have all the default repository information in there ... i have no clue what universe/multiverse is? | 15:04 |
| Aikar | https://gist.github.com/3a66ca52d426b6bf8430 | 15:04 |
| jubei-za | am i correct in saying that dhcp3-server should be in the repositories? | 15:04 |

| Aikar | interesting | 15:06 |
| erUSUL | Aikar: ok; that's fine. but what is your login shell ? | 15:06 |
| Aikar | editing /etc/passwd to just be /bin/bash fixed it... | 15:06 |
| Aikar | even tho /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/bash O.o | 15:06 |
| thebuntutweaker | gartral, use blueman bluetooth manager | 15:06 |
| minimec | jubei-za: no. That is a website that shows you available packages with a search tool. You will also see in what repo it is. Like irssi chat software is in universe repo.. | 15:06 |
| thebuntutweaker | gartral, apt-get install blueman | 15:06 |
| erUSUL | Aikar: bash does not behave the same when called as sh | 15:06 |
| Aikar | my login shell was set to /bin/sh before | 15:06 |
| Aikar | oh... | 15:06 |
| Aikar | that makes sense then | 15:06 |

Secondly...this problem is not present when I am running through my router on Windows so I don't think there's some issue with the con | 15:07 |

| Combatjuan | food: Yes. But if I reinstall it, it knows that I've already accepted the license agreement. I want it to have forgotten that. | 15:33 |
| Combatjuan | food: I'm testing a script that installs java and other packages. I need to make sure that it correctly reads the settings from debconf-set-selections and doesn't ask the user for input. The script /must/ run non-interactively. And I can't test it again until Ubuntu forgets what I chose last time. | 15:34 |
| food | Combatjuan: when it is install look a the bottom of the synpatic package manager and there should be a tab for installed filles | 15:35 |

| Combatjuan | But I'll do the equivalent on one of my other machines and see what it looks like. | 15:36 |
| tjiggi_fo | jubei-za, If I were you I'd try at #ubuntu-za. Those guys will know what to do if yours is a sources problem | 15:37 |

| jubei-za | tjiggi_fo: ok thanks for the help will ask there! | 15:37 |
| Combatjuan | food: I was a little surprised that the debconf-set-selections man page didn't say. I grepped through /var/lib/dpkg/* and found the only two instances of the setting string there are in the license itself. | 15:38 |

| XceptN | bibic682: I do run the latest beta - it is neat and quite robust. Still I need to get used to Unity | 15:39 |
| Chronotek | Thank you everyone for the help with the swap issue I had last night, it solved half the issue the helped me locate the other half | 15:39 |
| Dreki | how do i look for a PPA repository? im not sure what PPA is | 15:40 |
| genii-around | !ppa | 15:40 |

| mrgreaper | hi i have some major probs at mo , im installing ubuntu 10 10 on my mates pc over the phone lol i used teamviewer to download the 64bit iso then used the guide on the ubuntu site to create a usb drive, we rebooted the pc but it gave an error about no configuration loaded and just sat there at boot: | 15:40 |
| Neo_Kipling | hi, fellows, my cron trigger each session twice, anybody know why | 15:40 |
| bastidrazor | Dreki: the best way is to search for "PPA applicationname" | 15:40 |
| mrgreaper | any ideas how to fix? | 15:40 |
| bibic682 | XceptN: I read a little about it....and I'm old school when it comes to desktop. A task bar on bottom and three icons on the screen in the top left :) I like to keep it simple | 15:40 |
| mrgreaper | if it helps im still on the phone to him, were back inot windows and im on teamviewer looking at the usb drive im guessing theres a step missing from the guide? | 15:42 |
| ImperialXT | mrgreaper: I was having the same issue doing that install on this machine, I ended up just burning the iso | 15:42 |
| ImperialXT | I tried a few things | 15:42 |
| ImperialXT | including a different usb drive | 15:42 |
| ImperialXT | and yeah | 15:42 |
| ImperialXT | just ended up burning it | 15:42 |
| FloodBot1 | ImperialXT: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:42 |
| XceptN | bibic632: Gnome 2.30 and KDE is still there at your disposal | 15:42 |
| mrgreaper | imperial unfortunatly he dont have a spare disc :( | 15:42 |
| ImperialXT | no idea then sorry | 15:43 |
| mrgreaper | he is hunting a disc at mo but he not sure the cd drive works lol | 15:43 |
| mrgreaper | must be a way to fix the usb stick method? any one | 15:43 |
| Dr_Willis | try differnt tools 5to make the usb stick. | 15:44 |
| hiexpo | usb works fine | 15:44 |
| bibic682 | Xceptn: Buty it won't be installed by default | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive had some usb drives not work on some machines. but work on other machines. | 15:44 |
| mrgreaper | what tool do you recommand | 15:44 |
| geirha | mrgreaper: I believe there may be some issues if you make it persistant (which I believe it becomes by default) | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | mrgreaper: what one did you use last time? | 15:44 |
| mrgreaper | i used the guide here http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download | 15:45 |
| bibic682 | Will it handle Flash video more efficiently.... I hate maxin out the cpu with some stop and starts | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | the ubuntu usb-disk creator tool can work. but ive had it fail. Unetbootin also works.. but ive had it fail also :) then theres the pendrive linux site. it has tools to make a grub2 usb that boots iso files. or one that uses syslinux to make a bootable usb. I have better luck with those. | 15:46 |
| food | combatjuan: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/show-the-list-of-installed-packages-on-ubuntu-or-debian/ dpkg -L package name | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | then theres alternatives to those like 'lili' (works ok, nasty interface, windows only) | 15:46 |
| geirha | mrgreaper: On "When starting up from this disk, documents and settings will be:", choose "Discarded on shutdown..." | 15:46 |
| mrgreaper | were not getting that far gerirha | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | mrgreaper: the usb maker tool is having issues even making a flash drive? thats what geirha is refering to. | 15:47 |
| mrgreaper | ilituraly just followed the guide but cant get the usb drive to work, he just tested his cd drive it is dead as he suspected | 15:47 |
| mrgreaper | ah i see | 15:47 |
| Dr_Willis | mrgreaper: what does the flash drive do exactly? | 15:47 |
| mrgreaper | well the flash drive apears to be made as im looking at it now | 15:47 |
| Dr_Willis | no menu? flashing _ ? fails in some other way? | 15:48 |
| mrgreaper | one sec he is rebooting the pc so i can give you the exact error | 15:48 |
| Neo_Kipling | hi, guys, cron trigger each session twice, and maybe this happening since i restarted X-org without reboot once, anybody know why | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | if you are using a NVIDIA chipset - i have often had to hit space when you see the little man/logo at the bottom. then hit F6 and use the Nomodeset option | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Neo_Kipling: I wouldent think X would be affecting Cron Jobs. | 15:49 |
| hoopy_ | /usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-haze is eating up > 90% of CPU constantly. pretty sure it's used by empathy... anybody know why it's pegging the CPU? | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !find telepathy-haze | 15:49 |
| ubottu | Found: telepathy-haze | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !info telepathy-haze | 15:49 |
| ubottu | telepathy-haze (source: telepathy-haze): A telepathy connection manager that use libpurple. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.0-1ubuntu0.1 (maverick), package size 64 kB, installed size 224 kB | 15:49 |
| Dr_Willis | libpurple = used by a lot of IM clients. | 15:50 |
| mrgreaper | it says the sys linux 4.03 the error is no configuration file found (under that ) no default or ui configuration directive found | 15:50 |
| Dr_Willis | No idea on the cpu issue however. | 15:50 |
| mrgreaper | then it just has boot: | 15:50 |
| hoopy_ | dang :\ | 15:50 |
| mrgreaper | no little man | 15:51 |
| hoopy_ | it definitely is empathy... just closed the process and now htop isn't showing telepathy-haze | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | mrgreaper: theres a bug i recall in the boot disk maker that makes an invalid syslinux.cfg file. | 15:51 |
| hoopy_ | er... clsoed empathy | 15:51 |
| mrgreaper | if we go back to windows it shows the usb drive as install ubuntu | 15:51 |
| mrgreaper | can i make the file manualy? | 15:51 |
| hoopy_ | i wonder if it has anything to do with it being a virtualbox | 15:51 |
| Dr_Willis | mrgreaper: plug the flash drive in the other pc, and look for a syslinux.cfg file. you need to edit one line i recall (from memory) | 15:52 |
| mrgreaper | were booting it back into windows now | 15:52 |
| Dr_Willis | why not jus tplug it into the pc you are using now. :) | 15:52 |
| Combatjuan | food: So you think that the selection is stored somewhere in the package's install files? debconf-set-selection made it sound as though there were a database somewhere kept by apt. | 15:52 |
| mrgreaper | once its up ill put the config file into paste bin | 15:52 |
| dios_ | Hello, i just installed ubuntu and netbeans for php/mysql purpose, im not familiar with linux nor ubuntu. Is there a item in the ubuntu software center that includes both php and mysql for local testing | 15:53 |
| dios_ | maybe also includeing phpmyadmin | 15:54 |
| brontosaurusrex | phpmyadmin will need a web server as well dios_ | 15:54 |
| brontosaurusrex | dios_ check "sudo tasksel" | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | mrgreaper: i belive the fix is in syslinux/syslinux.cfg put a # at the start of the line that says 'default vesamenu.c32 ' You COULD try chanbging it to 'default live' | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | that should skip the fancy grub menu interface and just boot the live system. | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | this is an old bug that ive seen affect ubuntu for some time. Not sure what the deal is with iot | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl. gotta help the wife move furinture | 15:56 |
| C4KL1M-2 | hi all, is it true that canon is not going to run ubuntu project naymore? | 15:56 |
| brontosaurusrex | C4KL1M-2, true, canon will make DSLRs now | 15:57 |
| C4KL1M-2 | whats DSLR? | 15:57 |
| Combatjuan | The file /var/lib/dpkg/info/sun-java54-jre.config seems to use functions from /usr/share/debconf/confmodule called "db_get" and "db_fset", but they use shell script foo beyond my comprehension. I can't figure out what they are actually doing. | 15:58 |
| SnowmanX11 | How can I get a list of installed codecs? | 15:58 |
| Neo_Kipling | Dr_Willis: thanks, and is this possible because i install the ecryptfs? I remember first i installed this pkg, then restarted X-org, when i reboot system, then cron session beginning repeat | 15:58 |
| mrgreaper | ok i change it to http://pastebin.com/Aq06Dmj0 removed the # at the end and added a hash at the default vasamenu.c32 | 15:59 |
| mrgreaper | same error | 15:59 |
| brontosaurusrex | SnowmanX11, sorry, was joking, you meant canonical probably? :) | 15:59 |
| C4KL1M-2 | @bronto , yes i mean canonical | 16:01 |
| SnowmanX11 | brontosaurusrex: ??? I am looking for a command which make a list of installed multimedia codecs on my system | 16:01 |

| Pici | Teeko: It would help if you mentioned where you are getting that error. | 16:06 |
| AnanD_ | untiy game engine for windows. which can be installed in ubuntu? | 16:06 |
| arand | AnanD_: I think at least pygame is some form of engine, not perfectly sure | 16:07 |
| Teeko | in an ssh file | 16:07 |
| erUSUL | AnanD_: ogre ( free software ) | 16:07 |
| Teeko | its from something called budabot, its a chat automation for a game i play | 16:07 |

| DexterF | is it possible that adobe flash in 9.10 is horribly broken after that latest update? | 16:08 |
| dabbish_ | Why does this always return true? http://dpaste.com/535468/ | 16:08 |
| mrgreaper | were now extracting the cd and using the usb creator on that as per a guide on the forums lol | 16:08 |
| brontosaurusrex | SnowmanX11, if you mean gstreamer stuff then try "gst-inspect" | 16:09 |
| voidr | hi, I installed Ubuntu 11.4 under virtualbox, it complained about the display driver so it disabled unity, but after I installed the drivers it still gives no option to switch back to unity, what should i do? | 16:09 |
| Pici | dabbish_: Thats probably a better question for #jquery or ##javascript | 16:09 |

| Pici | SixtyFold: gnome-panel. | 16:10 |
| SixtyFold | thanks | 16:10 |
| SnowmanX11 | brontosaurusrex: maybe. I will look for it, thanks. | 16:10 |
| Pici | SixtyFold: If you killall gnome-panel, it should start up again automagically. | 16:11 |
| SixtyFold | thanks pici, that was my plan, i just didnt know the name of it :D | 16:11 |
| ImperialXT | I'm gonna assume it's still not possible in gnome currently to have different wallpapers on each monitor without using gimp | 16:11 |
| SixtyFold | im all good now, thanks guys :D | 16:11 |
| patrunjel | guys, i have found in a book something like this : (while root) /usr/sbin/useradd -D . And that's all. So, the path (/usr/sbin/useradd) is to some kind of shell script, and it gets interpreted as a command, or how does it actually work? | 16:11 |
| dhab | hey guys, i've noticed some .log files on my desktop, and just realised they related to the LibreOffice crashs i've been having, should I be sending them somewhere? | 16:12 |

| Neo_Kipling | Hi, fellows, my cron trigger each session twice, exactly, i find out a screen session triggered by upstart also repeat twice. Maybe this happening since i installed ecryptfs and restarted X-org without reboot, anybody know why? | 16:15 |
| RajaTanpaCelana | ehmmm | 16:15 |
| RajaTanpaCelana | hello | 16:15 |
| dhab | oh, that was the other thing, do these .log files have sensitive information about me? passwords etc | 16:16 |

| a-saint | hello guys i have a dvd sony cam any program recommended for importing the recorded dvd | 16:19 |
| ZenGuy | I need some help from some commandline gurus .. I want to move video files from a sub directory to 1 level up or to another directory at one time..like move file from sub, sub2, sub3, sub4 to directory 0 | 16:19 |
| dhab | yep, i'm not familiar with the content of these files. about all i can make sense of is the bit about the number of cpus down the bottom :-), thanks again | 16:19 |
| ZenGuy | a-saint: dv-tape or actual dvd because i need help getting a dv tape imported | 16:20 |
| poptran | a | 16:20 |
| Pici | ZenGuy: Perhaps... find ./subpath/ -iname "*.whatever" -exec mv {} .. \; | 16:21 |
| ZenGuy | pici the sub directories are different names | 16:22 |
| ZenGuy | i don't mid if there is a command that will check all subdirectories | 16:23 |
| a-saint | ZenGuy it's a dvd not a mini dv | 16:23 |
| Pici | ZenGuy: Then just use . instead of ./subpath/ | 16:24 |
| oCean | ZenGuy: if all the files are under /home/zenguy, then that is your starting found. Try with "cd /home/zenguy" then "find . -iname "*.mov" -exec ls -al {} \; | 16:24 |
| ZenGuy | Pici: ok | 16:24 |
| Combatjuan | Update: It looks like the sun java license check is stored in /var/cache/debconf/config.dat | 16:24 |
| ZenGuy | oCean: will it move the files to the folder i'm searching from/one level up? | 16:25 |
| oCean | ZenGuy: the command in my example will just list files found | 16:25 |
| ZenGuy | ocean oh ok | 16:25 |
| oCean | ZenGuy: Pici's command will actually move the files 1 dir up from where you are. You can replace that part of the command by mv {} /home/newdir \; | 16:26 |
| ZenGuy | ocean ok | 16:27 |
| mia158 | I cannot seem get maximum volume on my USB headphones. | 16:28 |
| brontosaurusrex | a-saint, and you can see your 'dvd' as list of mpeg2 files right? or is it actually dvd structure, vobs and stuff? | 16:28 |
| erUSUL | Pici: you want execdir for that to work ( if it even works ) afaics; don't you? | 16:29 |
| Darael | Am I misunderstanding the uptime manpage, or am I right in thinking that a load-average of eleven or more, on a 4-core system, with CPU-usage below 25% as reported by htop ought not to be possible? | 16:30 |
| ikonia | Darael: certainly possible, | 16:30 |
| Pici | erUSUL: er, I hadn't tested it myself. I've rarely needed execdir ever though. | 16:30 |
| ikonia | Darael: don't forget uptime is an average, | 16:30 |
| a-saint | brontosaurusrex vobs and stuff | 16:30 |

| kesor | hey i am getting "Who has 192.***.1.2? Tell 192.***.1.7" from another ip thats not mine, does it means they are sniffing me too? | 16:33 |
| brontosaurusrex | a-saint, what is your plan to do with this files? | 16:33 |
| a-saint | brontosaurusrex import them for later editing or just archive them because i need the mini dvds for other video shots | 16:34 |
| brontosaurusrex | padhu, the google sketch, if it is on linux allready, its a relatively simple 3d thingy | 16:34 |
| Pici | kesor: no. | 16:34 |
| brontosaurusrex | a-saint, so just copy them to hd and see if you can open them directly into kdenlive for editing | 16:34 |
| Pici | kesor: thats what normal traffic on a network with multiple computers looks like. | 16:35 |
| padhu | brontosaurusrex: I will try it, :-) | 16:35 |
| brontosaurusrex | a-saint, in any case just archive the originals, you can always make specilaized version for editing purposes | 16:35 |
| Pici | kesor: Better details would probably be appropriate for ##networking | 16:35 |
| mia158 | what can I do to troubleshoot volume on usb headphones? | 16:35 |
| kesor | Pici, but what is it? | 16:35 |
| kesor | Pici : thanks | 16:36 |
| a-saint | brontosaurusrex i was able to see them straight from the dvds so i believe it's possible to do so after a copy | 16:36 |
| brontosaurusrex | a-saint, i think i did mpeg2 shoot -> convert to dv files for editing -> convert to mp4 (avc/aac) for web, then delete dv intermediates, archive original mpeg2s | 16:36 |
| brontosaurusrex | a-saint, mplayer, vlc, ect should be able to play vobs directly | 16:37 |
| a-saint | brontosaurusrex but should I copy the entire VIDEO_TS dir or just the *.vob thing | 16:37 |
| brontosaurusrex | a-saint, depends on how the dvd is structured, if there is a new vob for everytime you press record, i would just store vobs | 16:38 |
| brontosaurusrex | a-saint, play some vobs directly with some player and see whats the case | 16:39 |
| lucas_ | someone please help me... I want to set an alternative path to /etc/alternatives at bootup | 16:39 |

| g0rby | Where can i change the resolution that grub2 uses to display its boot menu? | 18:04 |
| g0rby | I cant see the list | 18:04 |
| numberto | First time using gwibber and get this while trying to add twitter account (same error on 10.10 and 11.04) - "Peer failed to perform TLS handshake" | 18:05 |
| tensorpudding | Spaz_Dynamic: if it doesn't show up in that, you're going to have to either wait for 11.04, or follow some steps in a tutorial to build the driver | 18:06 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | tensorpudding: only finds something for my ATI gfx card. I'm pretty sure if I had installed it and lugged my computer to an ethernet cable and told ubuntu to update, it would fetch a driver for it. it seems like thats what it did before | 18:06 |
| charlie_ | has anyone tried the Ubuntu 11.04 beta? Is it possible to switch from Unity to Gnome in Ubuntu 11? | 18:06 |
| erUSUL | ImperialXT: all LTS are .04 ( except 6.06 that slipped two months ) but not all .04 are LTS | 18:06 |
| tensorpudding | Spaz_Dynamic: oh, you're not online right now? | 18:06 |
| tensorpudding | Spaz_Dynamic: the driver won't appear until it connects for updates | 18:06 |
| g0rby | Is there some autoconfig for grub2 that i can run so it will redetect what res to use so i can see my boot menu list? | 18:07 |
| tensorpudding | Spaz_Dynamic: if you had an ethernet cable you could get it right off | 18:07 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | tensorpudding: No, i'm on my laptop running puppy linux xD | 18:07 |
| brewster | i can't access my trash, the computer location or any removeable media. How do i fix this? | 18:07 |
| g0rby | dpkg--reconfigure grub / grub2 says its not installed =/' | 18:08 |
| tensorpudding | Spaz_Dynamic: i guess one way to do it, is to download the packages required to a flash drive and install them | 18:08 |
| erUSUL | charlie_: there is a gnome3 ppa ask further questions in #ubuntu+1 | 18:08 |
| ImperialXT | kk ty erUSUL guess I'll read more up on that in the morning | 18:09 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | tensorpudding: that would work. Where do I go for that? | 18:09 |
| ImperialXT | night | 18:09 |
| tensorpudding | Spaz_Dynamic: the required package is b43-fwcutter | 18:09 |
| uRock | Has anyone ever seen wireless drivers show in System> Admin> Additional Drivers? | 18:09 |
| popey | uRock: yes, on my mac laptop | 18:09 |
| ImperialXT | uRock: yes | 18:09 |
| tensorpudding | Spaz_Dynamic: but, it might be nicer to wait for three more days | 18:09 |
| uRock | thanks, I had noticed that advice given, but had never actually seen it in action | 18:10 |
| tensorpudding | Spaz_Dynamic: it's probably not worth installing 10.10 now, because 11.04 is going to release | 18:10 |
| g0rby | im worried that if i reconfigure grub-pc or grub-common it will mess up current grub config even more | 18:10 |
| tensorpudding | Spaz_Dynamic: not that you have to wait three days to use 11.04, that's just when it releases | 18:11 |
| MK`` | !metacity | 18:11 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | tensorpudding: honestly, not wanting to install ubuntu. I'm just wanting to use the live cd for the time being. I'm wanting to get slackware installed but loading the kernel off of their boot disk hangs | 18:11 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | tensorpudding: My goal is to get a dual boot of windows7 and slackware. slack would be my primary, and windows7 would be there for games that don't run under linux, even with wine | 18:12 |
| g0rby | Could some one try to help with my grub problem? | 18:13 |
| Dominater | my pc just froze, how do i find what cause the problem? | 18:13 |
| tensorpudding | Spaz_Dynamic: if you don't want ubuntu, maybe you ought to be checking on the slackware channel to figure out why your boot disk doesn't work... | 18:13 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | g0rby: Go to the store and get some pesticides? | 18:13 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | =P | 18:13 |
| g0rby | => =/ | 18:13 |
| brewster | rofl | 18:13 |
| escott | g0rby, sorry i missed what your problem was | 18:14 |
| cyoz | how can I cd into a folder that has spaces in the name? | 18:14 |
| Dominater | my pc just froze, how do i find what cause the problem when i restart the computer? | 18:14 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | tensorpudding: Yeah, I have been. they're not sure currently. I'm getting the impression that my DVD is garbage | 18:14 |
| escott | cyoz, cd "foo bar" or cd foo\ bar | 18:14 |
| escott | cyoz, or cd foo[TAB] | 18:14 |
| Dominater | someone? | 18:15 |
| tic^ | !grub | g0rby | 18:15 |

| cyoz | escott, thanks the tab function is handy | 18:15 |
| cyoz | he completed to: cd The\ Strain\ Book1/ | 18:15 |
| Dominater | my pc just froze, how do i find what cause the problem when i restart the computer? | 18:15 |
| g0rby | Is there some autoconfig for grub2 that i can run so it will redetect what res to use so i can see my boot menu list? | 18:15 |
| minimec | Dominater: If you can access the frozen computer via network and ssh, try that and read /var/log/syslog | 18:15 |
| g0rby | Hello => I recently restored my system after xp overwrote my bootloader - grub2 now launches ubuntu fine and grub-mkconfig generated a new file that i replaced. However now when the system boots my monitor displays signal out of range until i hit enter and it boots the first entry. How do i go about changeing the res or whatever so i can see the menu again? | 18:15 |
| g0rby | there ^^ | 18:15 |
| minimec | Dominater: Maybe also other logs. | 18:15 |
| arand | g0rby: Do you have any specific option for your grub? | 18:16 |
| Dominater | thanks i try that | 18:16 |
| brewster | can anyone help me with my problem? | 18:16 |
| g0rby | Well, since typeing that i have bricked it even more by running reconfigure grub-pc | 18:16 |
| spyder49 | /load .xchat2/budus.so | 18:16 |
| arand | g0rby: And have you run update-grub from your ubuntu install since reinstalling it? | 18:16 |
| brewster | i can't access my trash, the computer location or any removeable media. | 18:16 |
| g0rby | so, booting from live again | 18:16 |

| minimec | Dominater: Otherwise restart the computer and tryto find the errors in the mentioned logfiles. Problem is, that your present boot is also log. You will have to search a bit. Look at the timestamps. | 18:17 |
| g0rby | arand: yeah i had and it left me with a working menu but the scrteen res was out of range | 18:17 |
| g0rby | arand: i know the menu was there however as the system only continued to boot after pressing enter | 18:17 |
| minimec | Dominater: ..and don't repet your question just after 10' ;) | 18:17 |
| arand | g0rby: When you use reconfigure you will need to specify the correct drive to install mbr to, from the liveCD I guess you just reinstall it as you did before. | 18:18 |
| arand | g0rby: Do you use a dual-boot? | 18:18 |
| abountu | I just bought a Laptop with Intel I3 380M, which is a 64bit cpu, I went to the ubuntu website to download the latest version of ubuntu 10/10 and to install it, and I saw the website gave me 2 options 32(recommended) and 64, I was wondering why is the 32 recommended rather than 32, I would have thought I rather use the 64bit version to take advantage of the 64bit cpu architecture, anyone has any idea? | 18:18 |
| Dominater | minimec , should i login to recovery mode? | 18:18 |
| g0rby | arand: yes | 18:18 |
| xangua | abountu: use what you want | 18:18 |
| Souperman | how do i know what kernel im currently using? | 18:19 |
| g0rby | arand: installed ununtu - xp - booted from live - got ubuntu back but no menu | 18:19 |
| minimec | Dominater: hmm... It wil also log your boot, I guess.... | 18:19 |
| leapy0yo | hi | 18:19 |

| KM0201 | brewster, what happens when you try to access them? | 18:22 |
| brewster | nautilus cannot handle <fill in location> locations | 18:22 |
| arand | g0rby: Would you be able to pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? | 18:22 |
| KM0201 | brewster, try this.. open a terminal and type "nautilus /home/(yourusername)" (no quotes).. and see if nautilus opens your home folder | 18:23 |
| g0rby | arand: its bricked atm so makeing a new boot usb ^^ | 18:23 |

| lioop | sup guys | 18:29 |
| Fissscher | Guys have a question i just found an old game [ Herose 3] and want to instal it on ubuntu anybody knows how? | 18:30 |
| lioop | Where is the mandvd directory located? | 18:30 |
| lioop | Where are the "program files" | 18:30 |

| SnowmanX11 | Fissscher: go to winehq for finding the answer | 18:30 |
| brewster | KM0201: the problem is back | 18:31 |
| SnowmanX11 | Fissscher: I gues you have a windows install cd, isn't it? | 18:31 |
| brewster | now it won't mount my removable media and my trashcan is missing | 18:31 |
| Fissscher | yes it is windows cd | 18:31 |
| KM0201 | brewster, what was under the "Open With" tab.. | 18:31 |
| brewster | i dont see it anymore | 18:32 |
| lioop | where are the "program files" in ubuntu | 18:33 |
| lioop | is it in the bin? | 18:33 |

| lioop | huh | 18:33 |
| SnowmanX11 | lioop: nope. In your home directory. Most of them are hidden. | 18:34 |
| SnowmanX11 | lioop: Use nautilus, push CTRL+H and you will see the program folders | 18:34 |
| erUSUL | lioop: program files are scattered in different places. /usr/bin/ /usr/lib/ /usr/share/ etc .... | 18:34 |
| Dr_Willis | there is no 'program files' directory lioop - linux dosent work that way. :) see what erUSUL said. | 18:35 |
| SnowmanX11 | lioop: everything depends on what you are looking for | 18:35 |
| Dr_Willis | lioop: what are you trying to do exactly | 18:35 |
| erUSUL | !xy | 18:35 |
| ubottu | The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. | 18:35 |

| SnowmanX11 | Hehhe! I know that you don't | 18:37 |
| lioop | Dr_Willis: I am trying to locate the mandvd directory | 18:37 |
| Dr_Willis | lioop: try 'locate mandvd' | 18:37 |

| Dr_Willis | Or theresd tools to show what files came from what packages. i always forget what it is. | 18:38 |
| erUSUL | lioop: g0rby --> dpkg -L packagename | 18:38 |
| Dr_Willis | synaptic can do it - in the details/properties of the program | 18:38 |

| njo | hi I am trying to use ubuntu as a thin client to RDC into a windows terminal server. I have created a script and made it executable. it runs on start up automatically and the user does not know the differece. the only problem i am having is at the end of the session. I want to make it so that when they log off, the machine shuts down. so far I have had no luck with the halt command. | 18:41 |
| njo | this is my script: !/bin/bash tsclient -x /home/nestor/.tsclient/rdesktop.rdp sudo /sbin/halt | 18:41 |
| njo | can anyone give me a hand? i am pretty new to linux | 18:42 |

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 18:43 |
| escott | njo, tsclient will need X server. if you don't want the user to see the gnome desktop (and have only the tsclient) I would suggest creating a custom xsession, im sure there is a way to make X halt the machine when x closes | 18:43 |
| grandz | hi, after i used ctrl+alt+f4 touchpad on my laptop stopped work, i tried lots of solution and nothing helps, anybody have idea how to make it run again? | 18:44 |
| njo | thanks escott, i will give that a shot | 18:44 |
| njo | I thought it might be a permissions issue using the sudo command | 18:44 |
| mujahid | ubottu.....thx but I have to work on JSP.....would it be helpful in that case? | 18:45 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:45 |
| escott | njo, you would need to use sudo to halt but for a solution like this a custom x session may be more what you want | 18:46 |
| escott | also the normal user will not be able to use sudo | 18:46 |
| njo | ok, sounds good i will try that instead | 18:46 |
| erUSUL | mujahid: phpmyadmin runs on php; so you need it to run | 18:46 |

| Diverdude | When i copy with scp in terminal it has speed 10 MB/s when i do sftp in nautilus it is 1 MB/s. why? | 18:48 |
| sec_goat | erUSUL: I have not mounted it? it's a Samba share for my windows machines. I am still a bit new to all of this | 18:48 |
| maco | Diverdude: id try that sftp in terminal too for a better comparison. id guess nautilus has some overhead | 18:48 |
| sagaci | grandz, doesn't look like it so be try a bit later | 18:49 |
| Diverdude | maco, lol it has 10xoverhead in transfer speed just to show some gui crap? | 18:49 |
| moth | i cannot start my computer. X system is not working. could anyone help me with that? | 18:49 |
| erUSUL | sec_goat: you used the gui to navigate to it? thne in command line you have to go to ~/.gvfs/ doing « cd ~/.gvfs/ » in the terminal | 18:49 |
| erUSUL | !cli | sec_goat | 18:49 |
| ubottu | sec_goat: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 18:49 |
| maco | Diverdude: when you create a remote filesystem through nautilus....its actually mounting a remote filesystem, not just adding "some gui crap" | 18:49 |

| g0rby | arand: there is an ok one on there, but its not default | 18:51 |
| Diverdude | maco, hmmm okay that really is is quite bad for linux i guess if it has to compete with windows gui copy which does not have such overhead | 18:51 |
| maco | Diverdude: does windows have a non-gui copy? | 18:52 |

| jbarbero | Hi, sorry, this is probably a really obvious question, but I've just switched from Debian (using wicd) to the latest Ubuntu. I'm being driven mad by the constant notifications of wireless disconnect/connect even though I'm plugged into a wired interface and it's working. In wicd I could set wireless to be disabled when the wired interface was available. Is there any way to do that in NetworkManager? | 19:01 |
| vesa_ | erUSUL, i dont have any swap | 19:01 |
| walmik | or is there some way to get rid of the left sidebar on ubuntu netbook remix? | 19:02 |
| erUSUL | vesa_: what does "swapon -s" says ? | 19:02 |
| sagaci | No idea, what model of laptop? | 19:02 |
| escott | DexterF, is the password dialog box counting down? my crazy theory is that you have your screen configured to sleep after X minutes and the plasma is not sleeping, but when the display goes to sleep screensaver draws the password dialog because it *knows* that the next time the screen will show the password dialog will be needed | 19:02 |
| Souperman | well no upgrade then, things are working fine | 19:02 |

| nit-wit | jbarbero, if you turn off the auto connect of the wireless you should be there. | 19:04 |
| jbarbero | nit-wit: all I see is whether to connect to a particular network automatically or not. To put it simply, all I want is for wireless connections to happen when I'm not plugged in, and stop when I'm plugged in. I know how to do that in wicd, and I'd rather not have to write some daemon to do it for me. | 19:04 |
| vesa_ | erUSUL, yeah i did. so that is the reason | 19:05 |
| jbarbero | nit-wit: OK, I did that. Let me see if it reconnects if I unplug. | 19:05 |
| erUSUL | vesa_: run « sudo blkid » and find out the new uuid then update/edit fstab to reflect the changes | 19:05 |
| nit-wit | jbarbero, Ubuntu supposedly does this automatically but the popup is irratating | 19:05 |
| vesa_ | erUSUL, ok :D | 19:05 |
| Alexqw | I am trying to mount a UFS formatted DVD-RAM disk. I know that it is ufs2 and that the block size is 16384. However, the mount command doesn't seem to accept "blocksize" as a valid option.

The command I'm using is: `mount -t ufs -r -o blocksize=16384 -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sr1 /mnt/temp/` Is it possible to mount a UFS volume on Ubuntu and specify the correct block size? | 19:06 |
| nit-wit | jbarbero, you may need to restart x to get the change to NM take effect I'm not sure, probably not. | 19:06 |
| sagaci | vesa_, knew it was in your fstab :) | 19:06 |

| sagaci | or handbrake | 19:11 |
| g0rby | escott: the system is booting the first option after i hit enter, i can see that from uname -r | 19:12 |
| lioop | I need something very simple | 19:12 |
| Alexqw | macca: What do you mean recomended? Virtualizing Ubuntu works well, though obviously it's best to just install it and virtualize Vista instead ;-) | 19:12 |
| lioop | mandvd was perfect but unfortunatly its pooped up | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | lioop: from your first question, a DVD is already in DVD format by definition | 19:12 |
| macca | Alexqw: just wondering whether it works well | 19:12 |
| macca | so therefore my answer is yes | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | lioop: devede is simple enough | 19:13 |
| Alexqw | macca: yes it does work well. I've never had any problems | 19:13 |
| macca | Alexqw: what software do you use | 19:13 |
| Alexqw | macca: virtualbox | 19:13 |
| lioop | ActionParsnip: I mean convert from avi to dvd | 19:13 |
| lioop | ActionParsnip: and then burn | 19:13 |
| Alexqw | macca: though on OS X I have also used Fusion by VMware | 19:13 |
| g0rby | escott: is there not some way to configure grub now so it autodetects the right video mode and updates the config or something? OR is grub-mkconfig meant to do that | 19:13 |
| macca | Alexqw: ok thats good, i will probably wait till 11 comes out on thursday though | 19:13 |
| Bob__ | I want to run ubuntu + Windows but will be using just ubuntu for a time how do I run both while running ubuntu because the only way i can find is the wubi installer | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Macca: its one way, another is vmware and another is Microsoft virtual pc | 19:14 |
| arand | g0rby: Try using GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 (uncomment if neccessarcy) in /etc/default/grub and see if forcing that (or other resolutions) help? | 19:14 |
| escott | g0rby, grub2 autoconfigures itself when you load the vga modules. it works fine on my i3 | 19:14 |
| arand | g0rby: after that run "update-grub" | 19:14 |
| Alexqw | macca: best of luck. virtualization is so good now that for the kind of virtualization virtualbox is doing, Ubuntu doesn't even realize it's in a VM. | 19:14 |
| macca | bob: virtualization using virtualbox | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | lioop: yes devede will make a dvd iso which you can burn | 19:15 |

| ActionParsnip | lioop: you could show initiative and research the app, you'll find its what you need | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | leapy0yo: use gparted | 19:16 |
| Alexqw | macca: ooph... 2 B is a bit low. Vista like RAM... I would suggest 512 or 768 for Ubuntu and the rest for Vista. but you will notice a performance hit | 19:16 |
| tmb_ | Im trying to install Ubuntu 11.4 beta2 on a laptop and it is hanging after asking my account setup info (spinning cursor, keeps showing me the slideshow, no questions about disk partitioning). "ps" doesn't show anything obvious. Is there any way to see what it's doing? | 19:16 |

| escott | leapy0yo, install gparted would be your easiest cli is mkfs.vfat | 19:17 |
| Alexqw | macca: vista doesn't like much less than 2 GB. | 19:17 |

| ActionParsnip | lioop: its not bad. 64bitness helps with tasks like that | 19:17 |

| escott | MC8, there is gconf-editor... which has desktop gnome configuration but not system config | 19:17 |

| macca | alexqw:so therefore i should be ok with 768 for ubuntu - whats the minimum 11 will be able to cope with | 19:18 |
| arand | g0rby: Excellent, well something remains wrong then in the grub autodetection of your video mode, you may want to report a bug in order for it to get fixed in the futore. | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Macca: use a light de like lxde instead of gnome and you will need to assign fewer resources to the VM | 19:19 |
| maco | namzezam: Computer Janitor should be able to help fine on cleaning up old stuff from your system. it's included by default | 19:19 |
| escott | arand, how does grub know that it can find /etc/default/grub? that seems flawed | 19:19 |
| g0rby | arand: strange as it didnt effect the intial install | 19:19 |

| Shaba1 | All the googleing I did turned up forums and blogs for ubuntu but not wubi specific ones | 19:24 |

| Shaba1 | thanks arand | 19:27 |
| Shaba1 | Ok second question | 19:27 |
| escott | ActionParsnip, Macca one reason other than ram to run 64bit is to gain access to some of the newer wider SSE vector ops | 19:27 |
| Dirge1 | just ctrl+alt+del = reset | 19:27 |
| namzezam | is it safe to remove it, if so how | 19:27 |
| Shaba1 | which irc client do most linux users use? | 19:27 |
| namzezam | i am now rebooting | 19:27 |
| Alexqw | ActionParsnip: there are more advantages to 64-bit than more RAM, and actually contrary to popular opinion you can have well over 4GB of RAM on a 32-bit system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Dirge1: what gpu? | 19:27 |

| damno | ActionParsnip: thanks. I just couldnt remember where it was :) | 19:28 |
| m4xx | i tried .gnomerc and that didn't work | 19:28 |

| ActionParsnip | Alexqw: i know that stuff but with little ram i doubt it'll get used in a way to need those features | 19:29 |
| escott | macca, there are also lots more registers. I understand that compiler writers think x86 is rather register starved and get a big boost from 64bit | 19:29 |

| industrial | I have updated to 11.10 on my macbook pro 7,1 and now my ubuntu will not boot. It's stuck on "Checking battery state ..." or somesuch during boot, and I don't know how to fix that, and can't find anything about it on google. | 20:30 |

| escott | Starminn, in ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml | 20:33 |
| farmer | Starminn, I'll give that a shot | 20:33 |
| Spaz_Dynamic | ok, this is crap. sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdc1 [returns "Contains a mounted filesystem"] so I then go and click to unmount/eject/whatever in nautilus and run again. this time it says "no such file or directory" What the heck is going on? | 20:33 |
| Starminn | farmer: When you get that error you have to (for whatever reason) run it from a terminal. /path/to/file is of course the file path to what you're looking for. | 20:33 |

| === nib is now known as nib2 | ||

| central | hi, whitch tool can I use to discover al Ip's actually online on my network? | 20:34 |
| Starminn | farmer: Oh, I'm not sure then. Try it, though. You might have to have Steam up beforehand, then afterwards launch it through Terminal. maybe it will workwithin it then. | 20:35 |
| escott | which is sadly easier | 20:35 |
| farmer | Starminn, Thanks | 20:35 |

| sec_goat | psusi: what do you suggest? | 21:01 |
| LAcan | stefan1a, if u cant find it i can boot ubuntu and look for its specific name, but the startup manager should already be installed in your system panel | 21:01 |
| mack | samo582 I tried make "filename" but it didnt work | 21:02 |
| ikonia | sec_goat: you will need to run mknod in this situation | 21:02 |
| psusi | ikonia: 20 years ago, but not these days.. the kernel automatically creates device nodes these days | 21:02 |
| ikonia | psusi: in this situation, he will need to create it | 21:02 |
| psusi | ikonia: why? | 21:02 |
| stefan1a | LAcan: got it already, thanks | 21:02 |
| ikonia | psusi: because it needs to make sure it's created specfically, and he's creating a degraded raid array from an inuse disk so it will not get auto created | 21:02 |
| LAcan | stefan1a, good, run os-proper which will buid a lit of your other OS's and then u can import them easily thru the grub 2 confi program | 21:03 |
| mack | I changed permissioons to +x on the Install.sh, but I can't get it to run using the "run" command | 21:03 |
| LAcan | os-prober | 21:03 |
| ikonia | mack: there is no command called" run | 21:03 |
| jrib | mack: no "run" command | 21:03 |
| psusi | ikonia: when you create the array with mdadm, the dev node will be created automatically | 21:03 |
| Samo502 | mack: try running it with a terminal and seeing what the output is | 21:03 |
| jrib | mack: just: ./install.sh | 21:03 |
| LAcan | mack "./Install.sh" | 21:03 |
| mack | K. BRB | 21:03 |

| ikonia | psusi: not in a degraded array, it doesn't always pickup and he needs to amke sure it's created with the lower block number | 21:03 |
| jrib | mack: capitalization is important (I may have missed the capital "I") | 21:04 |
| ikonia | sec_goat: do you have /dev/md0 created ? | 21:04 |
| LAcan | sec_goat, do u actually have a created RAID array? | 21:04 |
| ashmew2 | <TheRedOctober> : cat /var/log/dmesg | less | 21:04 |

| LAcan | JINX! | 21:04 |
| psusi | ikonia: either the array is activated or it is not... if it is activated ( iirc you had to pass a switch to force a degraded activation ) then the dev node is created. If it is not activated, then mknod will not help | 21:04 |
| mack | That worked! It said it is now installed. | 21:04 |
| psusi | ikonia: creating the dev node with mknod when the device does not actually exist in the kernel does no good | 21:05 |
| ikonia | psusi: try it, degraded arrays do not always create device files - it's a bug, it's known about | 21:05 |
| stefan1a | I can't find "grub 2 config" | 21:05 |
| guntbert | Redeadhunter: what md5sum document? | 21:05 |
| psusi | ikonia: if it wasn't created, then it wasn't activated, and so creating the node won't do any good... you will just get an error about no such device when you try to open it | 21:05 |
| Samo502 | guntbert: he's having trouble with an ubuntu install disk | 21:05 |
| mack | Now, it's not finding the Jave that came with the downloaded package. It's in the directory. I see it there | 21:05 |
| ikonia | mdadm needs the device file to build the degraded raid array, it's only temporary until he reboots, it's a non-existant array so no device file has been created | 21:05 |
| stefan1a | ah, just installed grub2... | 21:05 |
| Redeadhunter | guntbert: the one that burned onto the disc | 21:06 |

| psusi | sec_goat: are you dual booting with Windows? | 21:10 |
| LAcan | stefan1a, and you are gonna need a grub 2 editor if you are on ubuntu 10.10 | 21:10 |
| Guest54796 | ÐÓÑÊÈÅ | 21:10 |
| sec_goat | psusi: no i am not, strictly ubuntu server | 21:10 |
| rsyring | LAcan: funny, I was expecting a config file or cron entry or something, should have checked that, will do, thanks | 21:11 |
| LAcan | api984_, is the rest of your sound card working properly? headphone jack and speakers? | 21:11 |
| stefan1a | LAcan: I'm not sure what that is. How exactly can I get a grub 2 editor? | 21:11 |
| api984_ | LAcan, yes | 21:11 |
| psusi | sec_goat: then I suggest you avoid fakeraid and just stick to conventional software raid... you haven't actually gotten the system up and working yet so no data on the disks yet right? so you can reformat and reinstall no problem? | 21:11 |
| ikonia | psusi: he's building an mdadm raid array, I gave him instructions on how to do it | 21:11 |
| mack | I just successfully ran the Install.sh, and now I can't get the Launcer to work | 21:11 |
| wodKa`` | How can I create a script to run two commands on startup? just a sudo insmod and sudo ifconfig. like where do I format the file and where to put it and stuff? | 21:11 |
| ikonia | mack: what is it you've installed | 21:11 |
| LAcan | stefan1a, just search synaptics for "grub 2" or "grub2" and it should come up as 'grub 2 editor' | 21:12 |
| mack | sudo ./LaunchSafester.sh | 21:12 |
| ikonia | mack: what are you trying to install | 21:12 |
| sec_goat | psusi: I suppose I could, I had a hard time doing anythign RAID related during install, freezes, not recognizing the hardare raid etc. | 21:12 |
| LAcan | ya wth is safester? | 21:12 |
| api984_ | LAcan, i am trying to build the following scheme: xbox(spdif out) -> soundcard1 (spdifin) -> decode (ac3dec) -> souncard2 (5.1 channel) -> analog out | 21:12 |
| psusi | ikonia: he said he chose to use serial ata raid | 21:12 |
| stefan1a | LAcan: I don't see it | 21:12 |
| LAcan | api984_, thats above my pay grade, but i suspect that ubuntu is not using the correct driver | 21:12 |
| mack | an email encryption program for my college class | 21:12 |
| LAcan | stefan1a, ok wait two mins i will be back. you are on ubuntu 10.10 correct? | 21:13 |
| api984_ | LAcan, i thought so too, still thinking about this... | 21:13 |
| stefan1a | LAcan: yes | 21:13 |
| mack | I downloaded the package and unpacked it. Just finished running the install.sh | 21:13 |
| psusi | sec_goat: can you run sudo dmraid -s and post the result? | 21:13 |
| api984_ | LAcan, i'll have to do some more tests | 21:13 |
| ikonia | psusi: yes, and I told him how to make software raid and gave him instructions | 21:13 |
| * LAcan brb | 21:13 | |
| psusi | ikonia: need to get rid of the fakeraid first | 21:13 |
| prakas | hiii. does rc.local execute commands in root mode by default or you need to put a sudo prefix to them? | 21:14 |
| ikonia | psusi: not if it didn't detect it and just used one disk, but I'll let you continue | 21:14 |
| prakas | i am not sure if i should prefix sudo inside rc.local | 21:14 |

| iceroot | ashmew2: as a 1337-H4xX0r you cant handle that? :) | 21:15 |
| LAcan | stefan1a, still here? | 21:15 |
| api984_ | LAcan, how long do you use linux? | 21:16 |
| mack | It says that I can move the program's launcher to any directory, but I want to leave it there. The launcher will not run, however | 21:16 |
| LAcan | now im actually in ubuntu | 21:16 |
| LAcan | api984_, bout a week | 21:16 |
| api984_ | LAcan, only a week experience in linux? | 21:16 |
| psusi | sec_goat: ok, run sudo dmraid -d to list which disks that was found on, and then sudo dmraid -E /dev/whatever for each one to erase the fake raid signatures... then you should be good to install and set up the software raid | 21:16 |
| ashmew2 | iceroot : thats for 2020 but im getting the errors now :P Help help :P | 21:16 |
| prakas | let me repeat is sudo required when putting commands in rc.local file? | 21:16 |
| LAcan | api984_, im no expert, but sound is a known issue | 21:17 |
| prakas | /etc/rc.local | 21:17 |
| escott | prakas, no | 21:17 |
| prakas | escott: it runs in root mode you sure? thats what i needed | 21:17 |
| api984_ | LAcan, i am doing a little complicated scheme | 21:17 |
| LAcan | stefan1a, search synaptics for "grub customizer" | 21:17 |
| api984_ | LAcan, cheap SPDIF soundcard and thats it | 21:17 |
| escott | prakas, who else would it run as, nobody else is logged in | 21:17 |
| LAcan | api984_, no kidding | 21:18 |
| prakas | escott: nice ;) | 21:18 |
| LAcan | api984_, so this monster rig you are doing... you have it all pkugged in already...? | 21:18 |
| prakas | escott: do you know what command should i give to restart networking after i configure an interface in ifconfig | 21:18 |
| Zuzak | Is there a way to get back to the gui from an adventure with ctrl+alt+f1? | 21:19 |
| prakas | escott: ifconfig eth1 up doesnt seem to work | 21:19 |
| escott | prakas, other than ifconfig up? | 21:19 |
| api984_ | LAcan, yes... working all day to make it work | 21:19 |
| stefan1a | LAcan: can't find it | 21:19 |
| LAcan | api984_, ok so first question: do all the other ins and outs work correctly? | 21:19 |
| api984_ | LAcan, trying to make it work like i did in windows... similar config this is | 21:19 |
| Zuzak | ah, CTRL+ALT+F7 | 21:19 |
| prakas | escott: i need to go to wireless networking gui and type the gateway address again and subnet then press ok. otherwise i cannot ping. it says no network or something | 21:20 |
| api984_ | LAcan, as I know they should... i am doing tests right now... still searching for the headphones... module is ok and up | 21:20 |
| api984_ | LAcan, driver seems to be fine | 21:20 |
| escott | prakas, i'm not sure i spend to much time fighting network manager to get it to stop touching my config. maybe configure dhclient to start on the interface? | 21:20 |
| LAcan | stefan1a, do you yave all the default repositories added to synaptics? | 21:20 |
| Asmodeus87 | I'm trying to blacklist a driver but it's still loading at startup... I've added blacklist r8192e_pci and blacklist r8192se_pci to blacklist.conf. Somehow it's working only for the second one. Any what I might be doing wrong? | 21:21 |
| prakas | escott: i need static address. it is set to use static | 21:21 |
| escott | prakas, route? | 21:21 |
| stefan1a | LAcan: dunno | 21:21 |
| sec_goat | psusi: trying the dmraid -d and it tells me i need more options: | 21:21 |
| sec_goat | ERROR: more options needed with -d/-v | 21:21 |
| prakas | escott: it works but after changing the mac address ifconfig eth1 up doesnt seem to work unless i give the gateway again manually in the gui | 21:21 |
| ashmew2 | My System is restarting on its own , how can i find out what the culprit is ? | 21:21 |
| Samo502 | ashmew2: i thought you figured it out earlier? | 21:22 |
| prakas | escott: is there any networking. restart or something. i am new to linux. heard someone say there is something like that | 21:22 |
| ashmew2 | Samo502: no i didnt | 21:22 |
| ashmew2 | Samo502: im going NUTS | 21:22 |
| mack | I ran the Install.sh for a program and now the launcher will not work. | 21:22 |
| ikonia | mack: what program ? | 21:22 |
| LAcan | stefan1a, add this to your sofwatre sources in synaptic: ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer | 21:23 |
| Jake_ | hello... | 21:23 |
| === Jasonn is now known as MafiaSlave | ||

| Jake_ | can someone please say "hello jake" so i know you can see me? | 21:23 |
| ashmew2 | Cant see you jake :P | 21:23 |
| LAcan | No Jake_, I cant | 21:23 |
| ikonia | Jake_: we can see you fine | 21:23 |
| sec_goat | psusi: just got to that with man. . . it is only showing /dev/sdb: dd1 so i just -e on that guy | 21:23 |
| Samo502 | prakas: i think doing sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart may work. Last time i used it wasn't on ubuntu though | 21:24 |
| escott | prakas, im going to guess you need to mess with route | 21:24 |
| FreeMan_ | Боже, и ни одной русской души? | 21:24 |
| Samo502 | prakas: that would restart the netowrking service | 21:24 |
| sdegutis | :D | 21:24 |
| mack | ikonia- it is an email encryption program for my college class. It just ran,m but says Java not found, even though the Jar file is in the same directory | 21:24 |
| Samo502 | mack: you need to install java | 21:24 |
| prakas | Samo502: yes thanks. perhaps that is the command :P | 21:24 |
| psusi | sec_goat: it's capital -E | 21:24 |
| Samo502 | is what it sounds like | 21:24 |
| ikonia | mack: what is the name of the program and where did you get it | 21:24 |
| mack | OK. just type ./Safester.jar"? | 21:25 |
| Samo502 | prakas: if not that then replace it with stop and start it again | 21:25 |
| escott | bring the interface up, and then set the gateway and finally manually set the dns in /etc/resolve.conf to point to the gateway (or whatever dns you want to use) | 21:25 |
| prakas | ok | 21:25 |
| sec_goat | psusi: back to man, telling me I am missing/invalid option combo with -E | 21:25 |
| mack | It's called Safester and I got it from their FTP site | 21:25 |
| psusi | sec_goat: -E /dev/sdb | 21:25 |
| FreeMan_ | #ubuntu-ru | 21:25 |
| mack | the program works well on Woindows, but I need to test it on Linux | 21:25 |
| mack | I downloaded the Linux version | 21:25 |
| prakas | escott: it is already set through the gui before. let me check resolve.conf then :) | 21:26 |
| sec_goat | psusi: sudo dmraid -E /dev/sdb1 | 21:26 |
| psusi | sec_goat: no 1, just sdb | 21:26 |
| LAcan | mack, is there a ppa you can add to synaptics? this wil be much easier for you | 21:26 |
| sec_goat | psusi: sorry it gives me the same message | 21:26 |
| escott | prakas, you probably want to disable network manager handling the device | 21:26 |
| Jake_ | lol thanks ashmew2 | 21:26 |
| mack | I finished the Install.sh program but I guess I need to ge the Jave installed? | 21:26 |
| Samo502 | mack: it really sounds to me like you don't have java installed to me | 21:26 |
| prakas | hmmm | 21:26 |
| escott | it has an annoying tendency to stomp over whatever you set | 21:26 |
| prakas | escott: that would be better | 21:27 |
| mack | ppa? synaptics? I'm a beginner. This is the beginner forum, right? | 21:27 |
| ashmew2 | Jake_ : :) | 21:27 |
| psusi | sec_goat: oh yea... -E -r /dev/sdb | 21:27 |
| sec_goat | psusi: hehe thanks! | 21:27 |
| Samo502 | mack: synaptic or software center would likely have it, if not the java website probably does | 21:27 |
| sec_goat | psusi: ok that did it, back to the previosu set up of software raid I was following, or? | 21:28 |
| mack | Do I go to the Synaptic package installer from the menu bar and look for it? | 21:28 |
| Jake | i just wanted to say that ubuntu 10.10 is finally on my level of understanding. i love this os so much. i feel like a little kid again. kudos to ubuntu. | 21:28 |
| Samo502 | mack: i installed mine through software center i believe, but either one likely will work | 21:28 |
| LAcan | mack it doesnt exist i just checked | 21:29 |
| psusi | sec_goat: yes... though you may need to reboot and start over | 21:29 |
| LAcan | mack, however java is in there and u should isntall it via synaptics | 21:29 |
| sec_goat | psusi: rebooting now, thanks | 21:30 |
| LAcan | Jake, your level of understanding is called "windows" lol | 21:30 |
| Samo502 | LAcan: is there a difference between installing via synaptics and software center? | 21:30 |
| LAcan | Samo502, they are the same, just different distros have different programs | 21:30 |
| mack | Should I install the javacc package, or install all of them? | 21:31 |
| Jasonn | How do I install twisted? | 21:31 |
| Samo502 | just about every time someone says to install something they specify synaptics, so it makes me wonder | 21:31 |
| Jake_ | im still here | 21:31 |
| * LAcan actually means the "Ubuntu Software Centre" | 21:31 | |
| Jasonn | I know how to install it | 21:31 |
| Jasonn | like with apt | 21:31 |
| LAcan | Samo502, ya, i picked up that lingo in here... | 21:31 |
| Jasonn | but it sais that it has no installation candidate | 21:32 |
| mujahid | I am having problem with Ubuntu Software Centre....It always shows empty list of softwares | 21:32 |
| LAcan | Jasonn, use your software installer | 21:32 |
| LAcan | mujahid, have you selected any repositories in the left side pane? | 21:32 |
| Samo502 | mujahid: are your sources intact? | 21:32 |
| mujahid | I do not know...how to check that? | 21:32 |
| mack | samo, I have javacc, java-doc, java-common, javahelp2, and about 4 or 5 more java packages | 21:33 |
| LAcan | mujahid, start the sofwtare centre | 21:33 |
| LAcan | mujahid, then look in the left side pane | 21:33 |
| mujahid | LAcan i did | 21:33 |
| === rouge is now known as scoler | ||
| LAcan | mujahid, and under "get software", are there items listed? | 21:33 |
| Samo502 | mack: you could probably go without java-doc safely if you want, possibly without javahelp2 as well. I'm not sure what java would be exactly in synaptics | 21:34 |
| mujahid | LAcan it shows the list of installed softwares | 21:34 |
| mack | OK. I'll give that a try right now. brb. | 21:34 |
| Samo502 | but java-doc would just be documentation | 21:34 |
| LAcan | mujahid, there should be two sections in the left pane "get software" and "installed software". do u see "get software"? | 21:34 |
| mujahid | LAcan it shows the list of few softwares | 21:35 |
| sec_goat | psusi: I apologize, it looks like there is actually an error erasing the metadata using dmraid -E -r | 21:35 |
| LAcan | mujahid, there should be two sections in the left pane "get software" and "installed software". do u see "get software"? | 21:35 |
| mujahid | many of them are procided by ubunt..... | 21:35 |
| mujahid | others by canonical | 21:35 |
| LAcan | mujahid, just answer the question please | 21:35 |
| mujahid | Yes LAcan | 21:35 |
| LAcan | mujahid, ok, click the arrow next to "get software" so that it expands the list | 21:36 |
| LAcan | (the arrow will point down) | 21:36 |

| LAcan | ok, what does it say under there | 21:36 |

| IcarianHeights | linuxrocks:you should add more ram | 21:39 |

| linuxrocks | IcarianHeights, for now I have to leave with 2GB. Could you advise whether I shall add more swap or is it normal for the swap to be fully used? | 21:40 |
| arand | linuxrocks: Normally, killing applications is better thatn extending swap, since whenever you start swapping, things are going to end up very slow regardless of how big it is. | 21:40 |

| LAcan | halpbatman, get grub customizer | 21:41 |
| psusi | sec_goat: hrm... looks like a little bug... try using the bios utility to erase it then | 21:42 |
| linuxrocks | halpbatman: search for linux-image on package manager and remove older versions | 21:42 |
| LAcan | halpbatman, or system/admin/startup manager | 21:42 |
| Samo502 | mujahid: did you freshly install ubuntu or has this problem just appeared recently? | 21:42 |
| mujahid | <LAcan>oh dear I am not preety new to the ubuntu but when I install any software from Software Centre it shows empty list | 21:42 |
| linuxrocks | LAcan, could you advise whether I need more swap? Currently it shows 90MB | 21:42 |
| sec_goat | psusi: erase the disk from inside the BIOS? | 21:43 |
| mujahid | <LAcan>I am having this problem since i upgraded ubuntu | 21:43 |
| LAcan | mujahid, after you install stuff, it will usually show up in one of the three mens in the top left NOT in the software centre | 21:43 |
| arand | halpbatman: If you do not need them, the best way is porbably to use synaptic and uninstall the specific packages for the old version. | 21:43 |
| psusi | sec_goat: erase the raid metadata... go into the raid bios screen and delete the array | 21:43 |
| LAcan | linuxrocks, how much ram do u have? | 21:43 |
| linuxrocks | LAcan, 2GB | 21:43 |
| LAcan | linuxrocks, and how large is your swap partition? | 21:44 |
| mujahid | <LAcan>when i go to left pane it only shows list of installed software and when i go to right pane it shows empty lists of all catogries | 21:44 |
| linuxrocks | LAcan, Resources show 90MB | 21:44 |
| LAcan | mujahid, NO. close the software centre | 21:44 |
| LAcan | mujahid, in the TOP LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN IS A MENU "APPLICATIONS" | 21:44 |
| Samo502 | i think LAcan broke | 21:45 |
| sec_goat | psusi: Sorry to be dense but where do I find the raid bios? I disabled anythign hardware related to raid because i could not actually install ubuntu server on the hardware array. . . is there a way to access from ubunut cli or gui? | 21:45 |
| LAcan | mujahid, second option is "Games" | 21:45 |
| * LAcan sorry | 21:45 | |
| mujahid | <LAcan>then | 21:45 |
| psusi | sec_goat: turn it back on then | 21:45 |
| LAcan | mujahid, then look for "black jack" | 21:45 |
| mujahid | <LAcan>not there | 21:45 |

| psusi | sec_goat: at some point you had the raid enabled and went into the bios raid utility to create the array... do that again and this time, destroy the array... simply disabling it leaves the raid metadata on the disk | 21:46 |

| user82 | ah okay...my cpu is oc from 2.5ghz to 4ghz but its a cheap one plus it runs within its max temp... | 23:23 |
| carlo7 | ikonia, ok, thats fine. and how do i tell the system that if i call "g++" in a terminal it should call this version? | 23:23 |
| carlo7 | but right now it is calling one from CUDA | 23:23 |
| ikonia | carlo7: it is already calling that version | 23:23 |
| ikonia | gc++ -v goes to the default version - which is the one you are using | 23:24 |
| user82 | Acid190, i got around 1m10s boot time..half of it is bios. next computer gets a faster motherboard+ssd hoep to get 30sec | 23:24 |

| tiko | whether its cable or wlan | 23:42 |
| ian_ | im lokking for the biggest room of IRC | 23:42 |
| ActionParsnip | ian_: i think you are missing the point of the channels | 23:42 |
| pcpower | ian_: why? | 23:42 |

| C_Okie|Study | ActionParsnip any idea? | 23:42 |

| MuNKyN1Nj4 | ah okay, thanks. | 23:42 |

| ian_ | what point? | 23:42 |
| ikonia | redhunters: follow the step sames you did in backtrack | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ian_: they are to discuss the topic of the channel | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ian_: so, why is population relevant to anything? | 23:43 |
| ian_ | relevant in general | 23:43 |

| C_Okie|Study | ActionParsnip.. | 23:44 |
| ikonia | redhunters: ok - so I would advise you very strongly not to try to patch the kernel | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ian_: it has no bearing on anything at all, for example if the fedora channels are busier, they will not help if you have a question regarding xpud | 23:44 |
| === Kylar is now known as KylarProtcol | ||
| redhunters | ok ty ;) | 23:45 |
| ian_ | so this is only on unix systems? | 23:45 |
| tiko | I'm sitting on another comp Mickster | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | C_Okie|Study: if it is NTFS then it should be readable by windows, I suggest you chkdsk it to check it is helthy | 23:45 |
| ian_ | not on mac or windows? | 23:45 |
| tiko | everything is zero | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ian_: no there are windows channels too and mac | 23:45 |
| tiko | when i boot into ubuntu i don't get the prompt to unlock the default keyring for network | 23:45 |
| ian_ | so im looking for them | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip | ian_: these are subjects for #freenode this is ubuntu support only | 23:45 |
| ikonia | ian_: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion only, if you want help with irc #freenode is the channel to use | 23:45 |
| C_Okie|Study | ok | 23:45 |
| redhunters | is there anyone running aircrack in ubuntu 10.10? | 23:46 |
| ian_ | ikonia: ok thanks | 23:46 |
| ikonia | redhunters: I would strongly suggest you use a distro setup for security testing, rather than patch the ubuntu kernel | 23:46 |
| tiko | how to recover the options for default keyring prompt | 23:46 |
| tiko | `? | 23:46 |
| codex84 | yea use backtrack | 23:47 |
| codex84 | for aircrack | 23:47 |
| redhunters | i dont have backtrack i couldnt mount it but i just wanted to fix this prob tha many ppl have | 23:47 |
| ikonia | redhunters: you don't mount it - you install it, the same as ubuntu | 23:48 |
| codex84 | lol | 23:48 |
| codex84 | yea | 23:48 |
| redhunters | i have wifi way i mount it on a usb | 23:48 |
| ikonia | redhunters: I'd suggest you use a distro setup for security testing as patching the ubuntu kernel will void your supportability and probably break other things, more so if you won't know what you're doing | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: +1 | 23:49 |
| tiko | Anyone? | 23:49 |
| ikonia | redhunters: there are distributions made for security testing, they would be better than trying to force something that's not setup to use in the way you want it | 23:49 |
| codex84 | whats the problem | 23:49 |
| codex84 | with aircrack | 23:49 |
| codex84 | ? | 23:49 |
| Acid190 | redhunters: I use bt4, but if you like ubuntu, try nodezero? | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip | tiko: you can use security in preferences (I believe) and change / set the keyring pass | 23:50 |
| dean | hello | 23:51 |
| codex84 | sup | 23:51 |
| tiko | removed everything from there, still no luck ActionParship | 23:51 |
| redhunters | ok guys ty, u it shall work and its not a problem break files, this pc is for experiment we want fix this kernel bug we just curious | 23:51 |
| dean | !man | 23:51 |
| ubottu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 23:51 |
| ikonia | redhunters: it's not a kernel bug | 23:51 |
| dean | !usb | dean | 23:51 |
| ubottu | dean, please see my private message | 23:51 |
| dean | !usb | 23:52 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 23:52 |
| ikonia | redhunters: the patches are left out of the ubuntu kernel for a reason, hence why I'm saying don't apply those patches, use a distro that's setup to do what you want | 23:52 |
| dean | !automount | 23:52 |
| ubottu | Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs | 23:52 |

| kwtm | After I change /etc/apt/preferences , what is the minimum I need to do to update pinning priorities? Do I need to do apt-get update, or if I have a slow network is there something else I can do to make the system realize I want an older version of a package? | 23:53 |

| tiko | i might have hade it set on | 23:59 |
| th0r | tiko: it might have been an update that killed your internet. If you have an earlier kernel in the boot menu you might try that | 23:59 |
