| szal | fredhami: how about DVI? | 00:00 |
| kingofswords | how do i fix my flashplayer 64bit that crashes? | 00:00 |
| fredhami | what is DVI? | 00:01 |
| fredhami | male to female | 00:01 |
| KM0201 | fredhami: digital video input? it's "not VGA"... :) | 00:01 |
| fredhami | so i need a dvi cable | 00:01 |
| carnage1 | post to post | 00:01 |
| fredhami | instead of vga | 00:01 |
| KM0201 | fredhami: yes, assuming your video adapter has a DVI port | 00:02 |
| szal | adam61: no friggin' idea about Chrome | 00:02 |
| KM0201 | fredhami: and also assuming your display has a dvi port. | 00:02 |
| hiexpo | what does * . after /dir/ mean ? | 00:02 |
| adam61 | szal: haha ok.. i guess i'll test it out with other browsers. thanks | 00:03 |
| fredhami | yea no the computer oem does not have a installed video card | 00:03 |
| yagoo | I relogged in to a closer freenode..dam disc | 00:03 |

| fredhami | KM0201: just to clarify the computer has vga that i have been using for my monitor but then there a serial plug in the back of the computer. is this hte dvi | 00:05 |
| hiexpo | szal, is that copy the iso | 00:05 |
| szal | hiexpo: "*" is a wildcard for multiple characters, i.e., here it means all files in "pentgesting", and "." is the directory you're currently in | 00:05 |
| hiexpo | typo on the dir | 00:05 |
| hiexpo | szal, ok | 00:06 |
| szal | hiexpo: "rsync -r $SOURCEDIR $DESTINATIONDIR | 00:06 |
| KM0201 | fredhami: a DVI port, is usually right beside the vga port and looks like this... (the white one) http://codinghorror.typepad.com/.a/6a0120a85dcdae970b0120a86d715a970b-pi | 00:06 |

| cache_surplus | on ufw | 00:07 |
| brianb_ | can someone tell me if you look at the grub.cfg file should the root entry and intrd point to the same hard drive? if you are multibooting from the ubuntu grub2 bootloader into another distro installed on another partition? | 00:07 |
| fredhami | ah no negative I dont have dvi output thanks I seen this cable for the dvi before though. thx | 00:08 |
| gizmo_ | the root and initrd can be on different drives | 00:08 |
| KM0201 | fredhami: yeah, if you don't have DVI output on your display, its gonna be pretty hard to hook up to a dvi port | 00:08 |
| crogeek_on_ubunt | does ANYONE know how to disable vsync? | 00:08 |
| carnage1 | serial to dvi is fast | 00:08 |

| brianb_ | can you explain | 00:09 |
| === tweak4fun-Away is now known as tweak4fun | ||
| crogeek_on_ubunt | well I play QUakeLive and there's everything set ok, when I change resolution my FPS is locked on 60 | 00:09 |

| szal | where's the problem w/ that? | 00:10 |
| crogeek_on_ubunt | that's bad | 00:10 |
| crogeek_on_ubunt | I need 125 fps | 00:10 |
| fredhami | Km0201: then ubuntu works with a dvi output instead of vga output | 00:10 |
| crogeek_on_ubunt | on 9.10 I had 125 | 00:10 |
| szal | do you have a monitor that does that? | 00:10 |
| aaaaalex | crogeek_on_ubunt, man you must have super eyes | 00:10 |
| crogeek_on_ubunt | aaaaalex: I am not funny | 00:10 |
| crogeek_on_ubunt | I need solution for disabling vsync | 00:10 |
| VoxGibson | The human eye can only distinguish about 25 frames per second. Anything over that is just overkill. | 00:11 |
| szal | other than that, from what I gather (as a non-gamer), fps in a game has got nothing to do w/ the sync rate of the screen | 00:11 |
| KM0201 | fredhami: it should work w/ either one i would think | 00:11 |
| crogeek_on_ubunt | VoxGibson: fine but QuakeLive is a game | 00:11 |
| carnage1 | stability in rotation | 00:11 |
| gizmo_ | I'm trying to burn an iso using "dd if=/tmp.iso of=/dev/sr0" but it says that /dev/sr0 is read only. My cd drive is write capable. | 00:11 |
| Belial` | VoxGibson, why can i see a difference from 30fps in games compared to 60fps? | 00:11 |
| brianb_ | at 25 frames per seconf you will notice flicker | 00:11 |
| Belial` | anything above 60fps i don't notice. | 00:11 |
| crogeek_on_ubunt | Belial`: install QuakeLive you'll see difference | 00:12 |
| crogeek_on_ubunt | 60 vs 125, big one | 00:12 |
| szal | gizmo_: would be new to me that you could burn an ISO w/ dd | 00:12 |
| yigal | szal: growisofs my friend, but dd? | 00:12 |
| carnage1 | you can burn anything with dd just ruins the disk | 00:12 |
| yigal | carnage1: lol | 00:12 |
| Zaelyx | gizmo_: you can also use wodim | 00:12 |

| pooltable | Registry Hacks are only 4 windows right ? | 00:12 |
| brianb_ | i should say 25 pictures per second and if you use a interlace scanning system the picture rate will be 50 pic sec | 00:12 |
| VoxGibson | There isn't a registry per-se in ubuntu. | 00:13 |
| yigal | tru dat | 00:13 |
| szal | crogeek_on_ubunt: again, my perception is that fps in a game has nothing to do w/ sync rate of a displaying device | 00:13 |
| aaaaalex | VoxGibson, no there is not - thanks for that | 00:14 |
| ghostnik11 | for some reason certain flash games won't play in ubuntu 11.04 with the new firefox 4, the game i was trying to play was nes punch-out | 00:14 |

| ghostnik11 | zaelyx: 32-bit system, actually thinkpad t60 | 00:14 |

| ghostnik11 | zaelyx: okay thanks will do right away | 00:16 |
| KM0201 | fredhami: apparently i'm not being clear, or i'm not understanding you... Here's the deal.. if your display (monitor) is capable of DVI , then i would think, yes.. you can use the DVI port on your machine.. .if your display does not have a DVI port, then you will have to use the VGA... it all depends on your display... if you have a vga only display, then no, you can't hook i tup to a DVI adapter, and expect it to work | 00:16 |

| ghostnik11 | eamon: ubuntu is made from linux | 00:44 |
| jamiewan | ShaunDreclin, i can in touch with another visually impaired user for info if you would like? | 00:44 |
| ShaunDreclin | Hahah | 00:45 |
| yigal | no Linux is the kernel | 00:45 |
| ghostnik11 | eamon: if you want you can still download the OS from ubuntu website and try it without installing | 00:45 |
| pooltable | yigal ok | 00:45 |
| yigal | open source software + Linux kernel is what Ubuntu is built from | 00:45 |
| zen | pooltable go to system settings | 00:45 |
| Caboose885 | eamon: if you don't want to use Linux try BSD. Thats what Mac runs off of ;) | 00:45 |
| pooltable | yigal i think it is out of date but it works | 00:45 |

| eamon | I thought the Mac was Mac OS? | 00:46 |
| pooltable | zen ok then ? | 00:46 |
| yigal | eamon: yes but the underlying way of detecting hardware etc. is based off of BSD | 00:46 |
| ShaunDreclin | Nother question (im full of em today!) how come i cant edit /etc/default/grub? Its saying "you are not the owner, so you cannot change the permissions" when i try to disable read-only | 00:46 |
| szal | eamon: what's that got to do w/ Ubuntu? | 00:46 |
| zen | pay attention to Memory module | 00:46 |
| yigal | eamon: the BSD kernel | 00:46 |
| Caboose885 | eamon: its based off BSD kernel | 00:46 |
| imperfect- | Anyone on GDM config on the new thing | 00:47 |
| phealy | Hey all, quick question. Anyone know if 11.04 tries to turn on trim/discard on an SSD during the install, and if so how to disable that? my SSD supports trim but my chipset doesn't, so trying to use it locks the system up. I'm guessing this is what's happening, as it's crashing when it tries to make the filesystems during the install. | 00:47 |
| jamiewan | ShaunDreclin, need sudo | 00:47 |
| eamon | What's a kernel? | 00:47 |

| Caboose885 | eamon: kernel is the core to the computer. Every OS has a kernel | 00:47 |

| eamon | So it's like the dock, but on my operating SYSTEM? | 00:48 |
| fredhami | I bought a bluetooth dongle to connect my headset to the pc, however it works in windows but it does not operate in ubuntu. Are their specific bluetooth dongle available that are ubuntu capable. | 00:48 |

| Furry | *defaults | 00:48 |
| jamiewan | ShaunDreclin, certain tasks need you to be the root user and this is achieved by typing sudo infront of your command | 00:48 |
| eamon | Is the dock part of the kernel? | 00:49 |
| yigal | eamon: NO | 00:49 |
| VoxGibson | The dock runs on top of the kernel. | 00:49 |
| jamiewan | eamon, no its not | 00:49 |

| DonJuan | Caboose885: I was trying to dual boot with Windows 7 and managed to hose the Windows bootloader (running through the install too quick). I re-ran the Ubuntu install and got it straightened out and Grub working to boot into Ubuntu. There was even an entry for Windows 7, but it didn't work because of the bootloader being broken. So last night, I finally decided to try to get everything dual booting like it should be. I used bootr | 01:23 |
| DonJuan | ec off the Windows install disk to fix the bootloader in Windows, but it somehow hosed up Grub so I was booting straight to the recovery console. | 01:23 |

| Rigorm0rtis | kronos321, I'm a gedit kind of guy,but some like eclipse or netbeans | 02:08 |

| kronos321 | creepy* | 02:09 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, windows says the machine inst configured for SMB | 02:10 |

| LAcan | (the remote machine) | 02:10 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, got your firewall rules set up right? | 02:10 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, there is no firewall... its a wired direct connection between the two nics | 02:11 |
| karolis | hi everyone, I have a question about ssh connection. After I connect with ssh -v I get "ssh_exchange_identification: 220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity." and connection seems to be established, but the screen is iddle and I can't type anything. What may be the cause of that? | 02:11 |

| kronos321 | ill take a look, thanks | 02:11 |
| LAcan | (and windows firewall is disabled for the NIC in question on windows) | 02:11 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, To connect to another host you shouldn't need to disable firewall. Is a firewall active on the server? | 02:12 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, the server is native ubuntu 10.04 ... i havent installed or confgired a firewall...? | 02:12 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, Other questions: Is smbd running? How are you trying to access the smb server from the windows client? Can the two hosts ping each other? | 02:13 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, smbd does in fact seem to be running, and i smbd start just to be sure. im trying to map a drive from windows, the two hosts can do more than ping each other i am freenix'd into it successfully, and a share from windows to ubuntu works as well. | 02:14 |

| tumenjargal | how to repair current system? | 02:31 |
| torchie | can i install skype 32 bit on natty64? | 02:31 |
| DonJuan | Caboose885: So basically I just mounted the boot partition to /media/sdb2 (after creating the directory), mounted the LiveCD to /media/dev, then re-ran grub-install as "sudo grub-install /media/sdb2 /dev/sdb". So you select the partition to install Grub, but also identify the device. | 02:32 |
| oldos2er | tumenjargal, do you remember what you were doing with apt before getting this error? | 02:33 |
| torchie | wow cool | 02:33 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, so, your server's IP address is in the 192.168.1.x range right? | 02:33 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, smbd is definately not listening on the right interface cuz i nmap'd it from windows and the only open port is 22 ssh | 02:33 |

| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, I think that gui tool was doing something weird. :/ | 02:45 |
| Darkenvy | Linux, you did it again! | 02:45 |
| darkorical | ok I installed 11.04 on a 2nd partition (windows 7 on the other) I have wow installed on the windows partition and was going to try to run it via wine but when i go to do it it says its not marked as executable and will not run it and when I try to set it to executible as soon as I check the box the check goes away (Im assuming it has something to do with it being on the windows partition | 02:45 |
| temp_ | I'm doubting future support of skype and linux is going downhill from now on | 02:45 |
| mahir256 | temp_: you can try miranda im | 02:45 |
| darkorical | is there away to turn off the executable file check and just make it trust me on what I want to run | 02:45 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, ya it broke it pretty good.. can i ask one more solution from you tho... im a lil paranoid, and I would like that share to only be available to eth0 and 10.4.20.x do you know how I might do that? | 02:46 |
| temp_ | Ok thanks for tip, looking into different IM at the moment | 02:46 |
| temp_ | :) | 02:46 |
| temp_ | Btw how do you respond to me like that so it appears red to me? | 02:46 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, firewalling is the best way to do it. Ubuntu comes with ufw (uncomplicated firewall) by default. | 02:46 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, I take it you're accessing the box over SSH right? | 02:47 |
| Darkenvy | whats a good distro release for minimal cpu and ram usage? | 02:47 |
| Darkenvy | ubuntu of course | 02:47 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, what kind of access? FreeNX is over ssh... samb i dunno.. im really not concerned with SSH cuz it is literally a wired NIC to wired NIC connection.. no gateway no nothing | 02:48 |
| Marezz | lxde | 02:48 |
| mahir256 | darkenvy: you mean lubuntu | 02:48 |
| Darkenvy | Im reviving an old laptop for a friend. | 02:48 |
| Darkenvy | I was originally going for lubuntu but I didnt think it would run on i686! | 02:48 |
| oldos2er | Darkenvy, how minimal? could be lubuntu, could be puppy linux | 02:48 |
| Darkenvy | lol. is there a torrent link? the site isnt exactly friendly lol | 02:48 |
| Marezz | if he has i686 cpu then it will work.. | 02:49 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, so then why are you concerned with samba? | 02:49 |
| bahadunn | any idea why 2.6.38 in 11.04 won't boot? | 02:49 |
| improveupon | greetings to one and all. i have this problem: x keeps crashing or something whenever it comes back from a screen saver if a flash plugin was playing in firefox. the mouse moves but everything else is frozen. you can pull up a terminal and reboot. any ideas? is there some process i could kill or anything i could try from the terminal? | 02:49 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, because i have a wireless NIC as well, and it connects to random networks... | 02:50 |
| bahadunn | it's in grub and all that but it just don't boot | 02:50 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, and i would like that share to not be accessible to any other networks | 02:50 |
| mahir256 | Darkenvy: http://linuxtracker.org/download.php?id=4feff401af33530329967f3ed3a5e6dff7e15399&f=Lubuntu%2011.04.torrent | 02:50 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, but then your ssh is on other nets too isn't it? | 02:50 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, well the open ssh port is... and currently the samab one as well but those would be my only open connections... | 02:51 |
| LAcan | i ssh and freenx thru the same connection ive described.. wire2wire | 02:51 |
| Darkenvy | thank you | 02:51 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, so you need to let SSH through the firewall before enabling it--that's what i was getting to. Otherwise it WILL drop your active connection (if you have one). | 02:51 |
| Darkenvy | you should seed for mah :P | 02:51 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, well when i seyup freenx, following some tutorials... it just worked man... | 02:52 |
| Darkenvy | @2.2Mb/s 4m33s is too long for me to wait! lol | 02:52 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, how do i call up this ubuntu native firewall or whatever? is there gui or a conf? | 02:52 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, cli-based | 02:52 |
| rww | !firewall | 02:52 |
| 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) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist. | 02:52 |
| rww | it's not turned on by default. | 02:52 |
| VoxGibson | Why wouldn't it be on by default? | 02:53 |
| LAcan | well like i said, i portsance these machines regularily and the only open oprt on the ubnut box was ssh | 02:53 |
| Pici | Its on, there are just no rules. | 02:53 |
| improveupon | ok a simpler question: if the gui appears frozen but you can still see & move the mouse pointer, what process has probably crashed? | 02:53 |
| LAcan | so i dont think i need the firewall up? | 02:53 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, it's really easy for a firewall. You said your subnet you wanted traffic from was 10.4.20.x right? | 02:53 |
| oldos2er | VoxGibson, there are no services listening, so nothing for a firewall to bloxk | 02:54 |
| rww | VoxGibson: because there are no open ports on a default Ubuntu installation, so there's no point | 02:54 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, ya, but i also have a 192 that connects to random wifi networks. I do not want those random networks to have access to my samba shares | 02:54 |
| improveupon | (and why would the screen saver or maybe hibernation + flash running in browser make it crash?) | 02:54 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, so to allow ssh from 10.4.20.x you would do ufw allow from 10.4.20.0/24 to any app openssh | 02:55 |
| Rigorm0rtis | do you need ssh from the other networks? in that case, just ufw allow openssh | 02:55 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, once you do that, you need to allow samba. ufw allow from 10.4.20.0/24 to any app samba | 02:57 |
| moses_ | umm i think there may be a problem | 02:58 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, ok lemme look into that... | 02:58 |
| LAcan | but its working now and I am loathe to mess with it :) | 02:59 |
| manlymatt83 | VirtualBox seems to be rebooting my blackberry everytime it gets to "Connecting to ROM" during an OS install.... would this be a common behavior for virtualization? | 02:59 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, finally wrap it up with [ufw default deny], then [ufw enable]. If everything is still accessible, you're in good shape. | 02:59 |
| moses_ | i unplugged this external hard drive that i had hooked up when i was installing ubuntu and my ubuntu doesnt start up | 02:59 |
| moses_ | it says its missing a drive | 02:59 |
| mahir256 | moses | 02:59 |
| moses_ | ? | 02:59 |
| mahir256 | whoops... | 02:59 |
| oldos2er | moses, part of grub probably was installed to the external drive | 03:00 |
| moses_ | anyway to fix that? | 03:00 |
| Jordan_U | moses_: What is the exact error you see at boot? | 03:00 |
| oldos2er | moses, you can try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099 | 03:00 |
| mahir256 | moses_: the obvious; plug that drive back in!!!!! and restart! | 03:01 |
| moses_ | it fails to detect a drive | 03:01 |
| moses_ | mahir256, i dont want to be dependent on this drive :( | 03:01 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, there are docs on UFW at the Ubuntu help site: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW and also available via man ufw. | 03:01 |
| mahir256 | moses_: i see that, but this will help diagnose the problem better. do you have any startup processes that run from the drive? | 03:01 |
| nit-wit | moses_, can you run this scri[t and post the txt in a pastebin it willgive a what is where.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 03:02 |
| Vonhinten | goddamnit, this asus n53jf was the worst purchase I've ever made.. how they could make something this poorly supported with linux I'll never know | 03:02 |
| oldos2er | moses, also you could reinstall without having the ex. drive connected, if you're willing to do that | 03:02 |
| Jordan_U | moses_: "It fails to detect a drive" is not an exact error message. | 03:02 |
| moses_ | i see | 03:02 |
| Vonhinten | hybrid graphics, intel audio, atheros ethernet and wireless, all broken | 03:02 |
| nit-wit | moses_, the script link will tell us exactly whays going on.;) | 03:03 |
| oldos2er | moses, but the bootinfo script would help diagnose the prob. | 03:03 |
| Jordan_U | moses_: There is no need to re-install. | 03:03 |
| Rigorm0rtis | LAcan, they don't seem to cover app-based ufw rules on ufw there (which are my favorite bit of ufw), but you will get the basic syntax for interacting with it down. It looks like there *is* a gui available for ufw, named gufw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw | 03:03 |
| mahir256 | vonhinten: you're right, how can it get a four star rating? plus, what distro does it have? ubuntu i guess | 03:03 |
| moses_ | i hope not ive got it working perfectly and i love it :( | 03:03 |
| LAcan | Rigorm0rtis, thanks ill take a look at it | 03:04 |
| puck_cent | has anyone experienced problems when running dual monitors on 11.04? | 03:04 |
| oldos2er | puck_cent, which video card? i'm using twinview on kubuntu 11.04, and it works well with my nvidia card | 03:04 |
| improveupon | anyone, please: if your gui is frozen but you can still move the mouse pointer, still pull up an f1 terminal, what has probably crashed? | 03:05 |
| moses_ | is there a command in bash to list the pathway to the directory? | 03:05 |
| olol85 | improveupon, im pretty sure its not the mouse driver | 03:05 |
| zenwryly | I just got a new laptop which is having suspend issued and it's been a while since I did suspend troubleshooting. What's "the right way" to do power management tweaks these days? | 03:05 |

| puck_cent | its an intel card | 03:06 |
| improveupon | 11.04 and it only happens when a flash plugin is going in firefox | 03:06 |
| puck_cent | on a Lenovo x60 | 03:06 |
| oldos2er | puck_cent, sorry, i am intel-ignorant | 03:06 |
| improveupon | the streaming sound keeps coming also | 03:06 |
| puck_cent | when I plug in the monitor both screen have striations across them and the entire os becomes unusable | 03:06 |
| hmuller | moses_ pwd will give you the present working directory if that is what you are looking for | 03:07 |
| moses_ | tyvm | 03:07 |
| nit-wit | improveupon, the FF addon flash aid can clean things up if that is the problem possibly. | 03:07 |

| nit-wit | moses_, thanks we will all look. | 03:09 |
| moses_ | sdb5: | 03:09 |
| moses_ | it has boot files on it | 03:09 |

| nit-wit | moses_, do you have a recovery or install disc for windows? | 03:10 |
| moses_ | nvm thats a partition | 03:10 |
| moses_ | yeah i do why? | 03:10 |
| nit-wit | moses_, if you look at the script grub was put in sda insted of sdb so we will put grub in sdb and the MS boot back in sda so you can boot each individually.;( | 03:11 |
| nit-wit | ;;);) | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | moses_: Boot Ubuntu with the external drive connected then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc". | 03:11 |
| moses_ | so it will work without the external? | 03:12 |
| nit-wit | moses_, yeah but follow Jordan_U | 03:12 |
| moses_ | ok | 03:12 |
| nit-wit | ;) | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | moses_: That command will ask you some questions, one of which is which drives grub's boot sectore should be installed to. | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | moses_: Once you select your internal drive as an install device you will be able to boot without the external plugged in. | 03:13 |
| moses_ | "The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or │ | 03:13 |

| joates | hi, http://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/advanced-installation.html --> these instructions have the swap partitions included in the RAID array setup, can anyone explain what is the advantage gained by this? wouldn't it be ok to use swap space outside of RAID as its only temp storage anyway!? | 03:14 |

| moses_ | sdb yes? | 03:15 |
| turkusama | Thanks mahir | 03:16 |
| Jordan_U | joates: If you lose a drive during operation, and there is critical memory swapped out to disk, then you're out of luck if you don't have redundant swap as well. | 03:16 |
| Jordan_U | moses_: Yes. Select it using the space bar, then continue by hitting enter. | 03:17 |

| xorpt | Hi there. | 03:27 |
| xorpt | I | 03:28 |
| moses_ | alright im gonna begin the reinstall | 03:28 |
| nit-wit | moses_, you might be able to use gparted to transfer it to a partition of equal size on the sda preformatted. | 03:28 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, will that work? | 03:28 |
| nit-wit | moses_, should they key part here is same size partitions I think , maybe a partition big enough m=not sure there exactly | 03:29 |
| nit-wit | *I'm | 03:29 |
| xorpt | I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, when I open a modal window that prevents me from accessing the parent window, the menus from the parent window are still accessible in the child. Is this by design? | 03:29 |
| moses_ | how do you migrate data like that though? | 03:29 |
| nit-wit | moses_, the transfer will take about the same time as a install though. | 03:30 |
| moses_ | as long as its safe i would want to do it | 03:30 |
| moses_ | do you know how to do it all? | 03:30 |
| moses_ | how do you seperate the other drive? | 03:30 |
| nit-wit | moses_, you would shrink the sda1 reboot it making sure it is in good shape then make a partition on the sda drive for the Ubuntu then copy and paste the data with gparted from sdb5 to the new ext4 partiton. | 03:31 |
| zenwryly | So closing the lid when set to blank the screen freezes the system with a blank screen when I open it back up and hit a key unless I first do "xset dpms force off" first. If I've done that first then closing the lid works fine. I have the same blank screen problem when resuming from suspend. How can I turn this into a workaround for resume? | 03:31 |
| nit-wit | moses_, the boot for the Vista needs the HD attached though as you know already.;) | 03:32 |
| moses_ | what? | 03:33 |
| moses_ | i installed vista to the non-external one though | 03:33 |
| nit-wit | moses_, what where sorry? | 03:33 |
| moses_ | vista should be installed to the non-external drive correct? | 03:33 |
| nit-wit | moses_, you have the grub bootloader in the sda mbr as of now if you resize the sda1=vista you just need the hd plugged in to reboot it to confirm it is in good shape,. Then when you do the transfer you will boot with out the external. | 03:34 |
| bogomo | Fud ??? | 03:35 |
| moses_ | if i wanted to do a clean install do i still need grub installed? | 03:35 |
| moses_ | like just with the cd in? | 03:35 |
| moses_ | or would it not like that? | 03:35 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, i need to burn gparted correct? | 03:36 |
| moses_ | to a disk? | 03:36 |
| nit-wit | moses_, no a feesh install will put grub in the mbr, just don't choose the side by side install and let the Ubuntu resize and instal. You want to make the partitions and then use a custom install this makes it safest fro the Vista to still be in good shape. | 03:36 |

| Enf | Jordan_U: well, I want to upgrade postgresql on a production server and the only thing stopping me is the fact that it would restart the service. It'll break a few things on my end, surely | 03:51 |
| Enf | Jordan_U: trying to avoid it | 03:51 |
| nit-wit | moses_, your moving the sda1 correct, leaving 40 gigs or so unallocated. | 03:51 |
| Jordan_U | pooltable: You're going to need to give more of an explanation of what you're trying to do than that. Also, using proper grammar and complete sentences can help a lot. | 03:51 |
| moses_ | yes thats correct | 03:52 |
| nit-wit | moses_, sounds good.;) | 03:53 |
| moses_ | then when i run the live install i can just use that 40 gigs to install ubuntu perfectly and grub correct? | 03:53 |
| nit-wit | moses_, yes, your best plan s while your in gparted to put a extended in that unallocated, then a logical partition ext4 for Ubuntu leaving a little room for the swap size you want. | 03:54 |
| moses_ | i totally dont follow oyu | 03:55 |
| pooltable | jordan i have a picture that has the word PROOF on it like to edit it out blend it in what ever it takes thanks not sure what else you need me to say | 03:55 |
| nit-wit | moses_, the extended partition is the bucket metaphorically that hold the ext4=ubuntu and the swap partition. | 03:55 |
| moses_ | how big should the extended be? | 03:55 |
| moses_ | wait are those different steps? | 03:56 |
| nit-wit | moses_, you will fill the unallocated, the ext4 is a logical that goes inside you can size it leabing ropom fro the swap when you make it. | 03:56 |
| nit-wit | *leaving room | 03:56 |
| nit-wit | moses_, the extended is the partition the ext4 and swap go into. | 03:57 |
| moses_ | how much room shouldi leave for it? | 03:57 |

| moses_ | but doesnt ubuntu do all of this for me in the live CD? | 03:58 |
| nit-wit | moses_, the swap is for hibernate mostly, generally people make a equal size to ram to be safe | 03:58 |

| rjune | I'm having a problem with Flash(Hulu) on Natty, I have a 2ghz core 2 with 2GB RAM and a ATi Mobility Radeon X1300 my P4 laptop running Maverick was fine, but the newer system hulu specifically is choppy, and the video doesn't match with the audio. | 03:59 |
| nit-wit | moses_, it will but if you flub you can loose the Vista. | 03:59 |
| rjune | I'm hoping somebody has a suggestion on how to resolve this | 03:59 |
| moses_ | ok so i should make 2 new partitions | 03:59 |

| moses_ | 40 for the ubuntu and 5 for the swap | 04:00 |
| nit-wit | moses_, make a extendede in the unallocated space first | 04:00 |
| dojohnso | it's as if the wireless card doesn't exist. no list of networks, etc | 04:00 |
| moses_ | for the ubuntu right? | 04:00 |
| moses_ | then the swap in whatever is left over? | 04:00 |

| dojohnso | rjune, i see *-network DISABLED, description: Wireless interface | 04:01 |
| nit-wit | moses_, you are a little confused. The extended is what will hold the partitions for Ubuntu and the swap. yes your installing ubuntu altogether. YOu can look at the sdbhd with gparted top right corner to see what I mean by a extended. | 04:02 |
| moses_ | ok | 04:02 |

Then I also want the page to show when I enter "wmk" or "test" in my browser. So I tried to add "test" and "wmk" into my /etc/hosts file like "127.0.0.1 wmk test localhost.localdomain localhost ".

| ExtractBeliefs | can you run ubunto from your ipod ? | 05:48 |
| Name141 | Can someone tell me the version of the latest LTS ? | 05:48 |
| bullgard4 | What is a »globbing character«? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man1/mlocate.1.html: "If --regex is not specified, PATTERNs can contain globbing characters. If any PATTERN contains no globbing characters, locate behaves as if the pattern were *PATTERN*." | 05:48 |
| s0menick | the thing at the top.... has places like Computer and stuff in it... is your ipod that drop down? | 05:48 |
| Name141 | !lts | 05:49 |
| ExtractBeliefs | !LTS | 05:49 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 05:49 |
| GhostWolf | s0menick, oh. no it doesn't | 05:49 |
| Name141 | Is there anything special in 11.04 vs 10.04 ? | 05:49 |
| Name141 | As in, what would I miss? | 05:49 |
| GhostWolf | Name141, alot if you read about it will probably tell ya, i didn't know til i upgraded.. | 05:50 |
| s0menick | GhostWolf, can you open a terminal and type mount | 05:50 |
| ExtractBeliefs | you would miss your old desktop | 05:50 |
| nit-wit | multipass, that is a confusing description to me at least, can you simplify it.;) | 05:50 |
| coz_ | Name141, well,,, 11.04 at this point can be set for classic gnome so you wont miss much there however, Unity default desktop will take some time to get used to | 05:50 |
| zal | hi | 05:50 |
| ExtractBeliefs | :) | 05:50 |
| coz_ | Name141, one good way of at least seeing the interface is on youtube | 05:50 |
| GhostWolf | s0menick, i did that and came back with some stuff, want me to pastebin it? | 05:50 |
| ExtractBeliefs | d`_´b | 05:51 |
| s0menick | is one of them IPOD | 05:51 |
| Name141 | coz_: Aren't regular installs only good for 6 months ? | 05:51 |
| coz_ | Name141, there are changes,, example,, in Unity there are NO gnome panels...there is a panel at the top but it is not a gnome panel | 05:51 |
| GhostWolf | s0menick, not that i see | 05:51 |
| s0menick | okay | 05:51 |
| coz_ | Name141, I believe it is supported certainly until the next release and slightly beyond | 05:51 |
| coz_ | Name141, of course that is different from LTS releases | 05:52 |
| Name141 | coz_: I was just looking to install an OS and be done with it for a while. | 05:52 |
| Name141 | like years | 05:52 |
| coz_ | Name141, that would be at this point ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 05:52 |
| GhostWolf | LTS means longtime support if i believe.. | 05:52 |
| nit-wit | zal, what's up, do you have a question? | 05:52 |
| coz_ | Long term service | 05:52 |
| coz_ | or support | 05:52 |
| ExtractBeliefs | light task switcher | 05:53 |
| Name141 | Yeah, but I was weighing down the "what would I be missing till the next LTS comes out" | 05:53 |
| buht55 | please help me. how can i do someone command where i get request from someone port(example - 12312)? | 05:53 |
| nit-wit | light trim scotty | 05:53 |
| s0menick | GhostWolf, if you've got anything open (docs, etc) save and close them. close your media software for managing your ipod then unplug your ipod. then in the terminal window, type killall -9 nautilus . count up to 60 (seriously) and then Alt+F2 and type nautilus | 05:53 |
| Name141 | vs "not having to mess with a working install" | 05:53 |
| coz_ | Name141, i would , if you want a longer period of release ,,approx 3 years , is to install ubuntu 10.04 then upgrade when 12.04 is released | 05:53 |
| Name141 | OK. | 05:53 |
| GhostWolf | s0menick, ok what about browsers and messenger programs? | 05:54 |
| === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo | ||
| s0menick | GhostWolf, brows and IM should be ok | 05:54 |
| GhostWolf | s0menick, ok | 05:54 |
| coz_ | Name141, I would still view a few ubuntu 11.04 videos because that is going to be the on going interface as far as I am aware | 05:54 |
| WaltherFI | i would recommend using always the newest version, as most of the effort is put into that release | 05:54 |
| === Jonathan__ is now known as KyubyLingus | ||
| s0menick | GhostWolf, after that, open your media manager, give it a second or two after it's fully loaded, then plug in your ipod | 05:54 |
| ExtractBeliefs | can i get a troll desktop instead of a gnome one ? | 05:55 |
| WaltherFI | Unity will be there. Period. And actually, it is very useful when combined with dash | 05:55 |
| Name141 | coz_: I was just looking for something to replace XP with on this machine when Iget the new one built with Win7 for games. | 05:55 |
| spectrum_ | @ExtractBeliefs hahahaha | 05:55 |
| s0menick | Name141, what cpu/mem/video specs? | 05:56 |
| ExtractBeliefs | your welcone | 05:56 |
| spectrum_ | so u want to troll... haha | 05:56 |
| GhostWolf | s0menick, ok did the first part. when you say media manager you mean like rhythymbox? | 05:56 |
| coz_ | Name141, start with 10.04 check it out,, and then watch the 11.04 videos and decide if you would like that interface instead,, one thing to remember,, 11.04 is a work in progress,, it is a new interface and there are still debates around it | 05:56 |
| s0menick | GhostWolf, yeah | 05:56 |
| multipass | is there a quick way to set xorg to defaults? | 05:57 |
| Name141 | s0menick: I will have to put in the microsoft PCI NIC cause ever since Hardy the internal NIC hasn't worked right in newer OS' (even Windows 7). But it will be a E2160, nVidia 8300 GS, 2 GB, 500 GB hard drive | 05:57 |
| ExtractBeliefs | apt-get | 05:57 |
| Name141 | 2 GBs of RAM* | 05:57 |
| GhostWolf | s0menick, ok | 05:57 |
| s0menick | GhostWolf so all done? when you're done all that plug in your ipod and it should work | 05:58 |
| GhostWolf | s0menick, ok let me plug it in, waited for rhythymbox to fully load | 05:58 |
| s0menick | Name141, i thought you said it was a new computer? | 05:58 |
| Name141 | s0menick: the new computer will be for games. | 05:59 |
| ExtractBeliefs | apt-get install --reinstall xorg | 05:59 |
| s0menick | Name141, ah... what specs u getting? | 05:59 |
| GhostWolf | s0menick, nothing yet, would there be a plugin i might need to install? | 05:59 |
| s0menick | GhostWolf, what about when you run mount in the terminal window, does it list it | 05:59 |
| WaltherFI | GhostWolf: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras should fix all the plugin problems. Check the legality first, though | 06:00 |
| GhostWolf | nothing s0menick same as before | 06:00 |
| GhostWolf | WaltherFI, the problem is with my ipod not connecting when i plug it in | 06:00 |
| ExtractBeliefs | did that worked multipass ? | 06:00 |
| s0menick | GhostWolf, yes, as WaltherFI says , you do have the media addons, right? | 06:00 |
| WaltherFI | GhostWolf: sudo mount -a or was it mountall | 06:01 |
| Chux | Bananas! | 06:01 |
| GhostWolf | s0menick, i don't think so i didn't do no addons when i upgraded | 06:01 |
| Chux | Bananas! | 06:01 |
| Jordan_U | No matter what command I run (except shell builtins) I get no output and an exit status of 127. | 06:01 |
| Name141 | s0menick: But the new one is Athlon II X4 640 , 4 GBs DDR3 1333, 640 GB WD Black , CX600 watt V2 (eventually, I don't have the money for it yet which prevents me from using it for games right now and sticking in the video card (current PSU is 300 watts on it)) , M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3, Windows XP 32 retail (tilL I can buy 7..) | 06:01 |
| Name141 | Eventually a 6770 to replace this 4670 | 06:01 |
| WaltherFI | Name141: so what's your problem? | 06:01 |
| Name141 | WaltherFI: I wasn't aware I had one? | 06:02 |
| ExtractBeliefs | Name141: get WTPC its free | 06:02 |

| GhostWolf | s0menick, so should i do the install extras WaltherFI mentioned? | 06:02 |
| s0menick | GhostWolf, yeah run the update manager and add the media extras package | 06:03 |
| s0menick | bottom of the top left menu | 06:03 |
| multipass | ExtractBeliefs: that command did, but im not really sure what problem i need to be fixing tbh | 06:03 |
| WaltherFI | GhostWolf: most probably, and it'll not cause any harm or whatsoever | 06:03 |
| s0menick | heh wow sorry i assumed it's automatic, the first thing you'd do when you do an install. these days it's part of the installation (tick the box for the restricted media addons - yes baby yes) | 06:04 |
| multipass | i did brought over a clonezilla image from my laptop (ati) to my desktop (nvidia) and now i cant get into my graphical desktop, im just in console | 06:04 |

| GhostWolf | WaltherFI, ok its probably why ubuntu isn't reconizing it since i ddi upgrade it to the newest version | 06:04 |
| s0menick | multipass yeah boot off a live cd and fix your grub boot files | 06:04 |
| nit-wit | multipass, no grub menu correct? | 06:04 |

| GhostWolf | now how do i get the upgrade manager up? | 06:05 |
| s0menick | clonezilla rocks | 06:05 |
| ExtractBeliefs | isnt it upposed to be used from live media ? | 06:05 |
| WaltherFI | GhostWolf: though, there's always been some issues with Apple products, they don't want them to be used | 06:05 |
| GhostWolf | nevermind found it | 06:05 |
| s0menick | GhostWolf, you have a menu at the top? | 06:05 |

| ExtractBeliefs | yes | 06:08 |
| s0menick | GhostWolf, no you're all good. after that it should work. i'd recommend turning the media_automount back on though | 06:08 |
| nit-wit | multipass, with the correct spelling of course sorry.;) | 06:08 |
| bullgard4 | Loshki: So »globbing character« is yet another name for »wildcard«? | 06:09 |
| multipass | ok did that nit-wit, nothing significant happened though | 06:09 |

| multipass | nit-wit: ok im installing a new nvidia driver... one more problem im not sure about is that a drive from my laptop is trying to auto mount at load time via psydm, but i cant see anywhere to reset it | 06:18 |
| bullgard4 | Loshki: Thank you very much for your judgement and help. | 06:18 |
| multipass | and it dosnt exist on my desktop | 06:18 |
| ExtractBeliefs | OMG im ruuning 11.04 in my nexus ! | 06:18 |
| bazhang | xcr, openvpn is in the repos, install from there | 06:18 |
| Loshki | xcr: a successful configure should create the makefiles you need. Did your configure step fail? | 06:19 |
| bazhang | ExtractBeliefs, support question? if not #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat | 06:19 |
| xcr | not in my destribution. i have backtrack 5 | 06:19 |
| bazhang | xcr, thats not supported here | 06:19 |
| bazhang | #backtrack-linux xcr | 06:19 |
| multipass | nit-wit: omg thanks for the help, i was close to going nuclear and like... reinstalling or something :b | 06:20 |
| nit-wit | multipass, that I'm confused with can do name all the drives there importance, and the computer. There is fstab for mounting but you it sounds like used a app I don't recognize. | 06:20 |
| xcr | loshi : in the tutorial is written. 1. " ./configure --prefix=/usr/local " 2. "make" 3."make install". nothing more | 06:20 |
| buht55 | s0menick, i have a magnetic lock on door and i want to open it with mobile phone | 06:20 |
| ExtractBeliefs | yes and clonesila takes ages to install | 06:20 |
| Loshki | xcr: did step 1 produce any output? | 06:20 |
| xcr | a lots of | 06:21 |
| nit-wit | multipass, run cat /etc/fstab and pastebin it | 06:21 |
| multipass | nit-wit: yeah i think theres probyably a entry in fstab i need to delete | 06:21 |
| bazhang | buht55, how does that relate to ubuntu | 06:21 |
| xcr | ohh i see a problem. i dont have LZO headers?? | 06:21 |
| Loshki | xcr: look through it for errors. Until there are zero errors, it won't produce a makefile... | 06:21 |
| ExtractBeliefs | bazhang: he neds to do it using ubuntu | 06:21 |
| xcr | ok | 06:22 |
| nit-wit | multipass, you can just put a # infront gksudo gedit /etc/fstab will be a read and write access | 06:22 |
| bazhang | ExtractBeliefs, ubuntu does not run on phones. take chat elsewhere | 06:22 |
| buht55 | bazhang, i will connect 2 wires to floppy diode | 06:22 |
| bazhang | buht55, try ##electronics or ##hardware , that is not an ubuntu issue | 06:22 |
| buht55 | nonono | 06:23 |
| buht55 | i have quiestion about ubuntu | 06:23 |
| nit-wit | multipass, is this a clonezilla reload? | 06:23 |
| spectrum_ | duno | 06:23 |
| multipass | nit-wit: i found the exact entry i was looking for and gedit and added a # to it | 06:24 |
| nit-wit | multipass, cool is this a clone reload as well? | 06:24 |
| multipass | what do you mean by reload exactly? | 06:24 |
| nit-wit | multipass, you mentioned clonezilla earlier So I ask is this a image you just out back in ? | 06:25 |
| xcr | lzop ok. now i "make". it works | 06:25 |
| iFrenzy | test | 06:25 |
| nit-wit | multipass, *put back in | 06:25 |
| iFrenzy | So is gnome 3 shell going to be an option in 11.10? | 06:26 |
| spectrum_ | i hope | 06:26 |
| s0menick | mutipass | 06:26 |
| buht55 | i will write program that will sent udp-request from phone. Router will forward it to ubuntu. i need that ubuntu does same code | 06:26 |
| iFrenzy | I'm using it on 11.04 and its awesome IMO | 06:26 |
| multipass | nit-wit: well i just got a new SSD for my comp and wanted to clone my laptops ubuntu because its nicly setup. so i cloned my laptop and put it here | 06:26 |
| s0menick | multipass, don't delete - just put a # in front | 06:26 |
| bazhang | buht55, that makes no sense | 06:26 |
| litropy | I'm getting a " ... you do not have permission ... " when dragging and dropping files. Isn't there a key I can hold down while dropping to prompt me for a password? I seem to remember greatly appreciating this feature a while back ... | 06:26 |
| s0menick | buht55, yeah you might want to ask in #python or #perl | 06:27 |
| buht55 | example mount /media/floppy | 06:27 |
| bazhang | buht55, its offtopic here, anyway | 06:27 |
| nit-wit | multipass, okay I ask all this because clonezilla saves the mbr from the cloned drive, is the install drive different? | 06:27 |
| multipass | nit-wit: well i did a partition save, not a drive save. the grub it installed didnt work and i had to use a live cd to revive grub2 | 06:28 |
| buht55 | hmmm.. 10x, guys. | 06:28 |
| nit-wit | multipass, that is the confirmation I needed thanks.;) | 06:28 |
| nit-wit | multipass, good to go I would say as long as the graphics work.;) | 06:29 |
| multipass | nit-wit: yeah thanks so much, i was near the point of giving up on this clone | 06:30 |
| nit-wit | multipass, no prob.;) | 06:31 |

| Dr_Heckle | how does one go about creating the == of a windows batch file in linux | 06:55 |
| Dr_Heckle | is it the same? just linux commands instead? | 06:55 |
| xrdodrx` | !bash | Dr_Heckle | 06:56 |
| ubottu | Dr_Heckle: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:56 |
| Dr_Heckle | xrdodrx`, this does not answer my question in the least | 06:56 |
| vicro | i need, create trigger in oracle , but, need command or parameter for command in ejecution (update, insert, etc) | 06:56 |
| s0menick | you mean like if %USERNAME%==s0meNick ? | 06:56 |
| prashant_123456 | hello all | 06:56 |
| Dr_Heckle | xrdodrx`, i want to execute a static series of commands, saved in a file | 06:56 |
| xrdodrx` | Dr_Heckle, I know, I forgot the text :< | 06:57 |
| xrdodrx` | Dr_Heckle, look into bash scripting | 06:57 |
| xrdodrx` | tthere's lots of tutorials online | 06:57 |
| janhaj | Hello.. does anybody have laptop with Intel Core i3-2310M and Intel HD 3000? Can you tell me please, how does it working in Ubuntu? Is Nexuiz / OpenArena playable? What about H264 acceleration? Is it better than NVIDIA GeForce 310M? | 06:57 |
| s0menick | Dr_Heckle, if you open a terminal window, you should be able to know what shell you're using by echo $SHELL | 06:57 |
| prashant_123456 | can anyone tell me why some webpages dont load in ubuntu 11.04 ?? | 06:57 |
| vicro | i need a channel irc for oracle or mysql?? | 06:57 |

| Dr_Heckle | xrdodrx`, do i just create a .bat that contains these commands, seperated w/ new lines? | 06:59 |
| Obsolate | Dr_Heckle: .sh | 06:59 |
| s0menick | Dr_Heckle, no, wrong operating system | 06:59 |
| Obsolate | Dr_Heckle: google bash scripting | 07:00 |
| Dr_Heckle | so i look in to {terminal} scripting | 07:00 |
| xrdodrx` | Dr_Heckle, like I said, look into bash scripting...scripts dont' even need to have file extensions. | 07:00 |
| Dr_Heckle | :/ | 07:00 |
| xrdodrx` | No | 07:00 |
| xrdodrx` | You look into _BASH_ scripting. | 07:00 |
| Dr_Heckle | k | 07:00 |
| Dr_Heckle | thx | 07:00 |

| samo502 | There any way to have ubuntu use less resources? it uses nearly my full CPU with just Firefox running | 07:17 |
| Zelozelos | if i want to install grub to a usb flash drive, would i use 'grub-install sbd'? | 07:17 |
| samo502 | well, firefox + system moniter | 07:17 |
| moses_ | alright | 07:19 |

| prashant_123456 | is there any way to autoidentify xchat ?? | 07:19 |
| lahwran | kind of a bad idea to announce yourself on networks, you know | 07:19 |
| lahwran | prashant_123456: #xchat (yes, there is) | 07:19 |
| prashant_123456 | lahwran, can u tell me how to do that | 07:20 |
| moses_ | anyone know what the konsole command is to install grub do a different drive? | 07:20 |
| moses_ | to* | 07:20 |
| lahwran | moses_: to a "different drive"? different than what? | 07:20 |
| moses_ | different than the current one its on | 07:21 |
| lahwran | the command to install grub is [sudo] grub-install <drive> [--root-directory <ubuntuinstall>] | 07:21 |
| lahwran | so what drive are you wanting to install to | 07:21 |
| moses_ | whats the command to view the current directory? | 07:21 |
| moses_ | ls | 07:21 |
| Starminn | I hate to utter tese words, but is there a way to have Banshee rip CDs in MP3 by default? | 07:21 |
| moses_ | woops | 07:21 |
| Zelozelos | a flash drive | 07:21 |
| lahwran | Starminn: yes. | 07:22 |
| moses_ | like to view the current directory pathname? | 07:22 |
| lahwran | moses_: pwd | 07:22 |
| nit-wit | moses_, your back | 07:22 |
| LetterRip | hi my brightness is dimmed after i close the lid then open it | 07:22 |
| lahwran | nit-wit: what about his back? | 07:23 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, w00t you are still on | 07:23 |
| LetterRip | the brightness app says i'm at 100% | 07:23 |
| LetterRip | anyway to adjust the brightness of the LED? | 07:23 |
| lahwran | LetterRip: depends on what laptop | 07:23 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, i actually just copied the files over | 07:23 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, now i want to run the script again to see if it was successfull | 07:23 |
| LetterRip | iahwran it is an xt5000t by everex | 07:23 |
| moses_ | so im gonna run it real quick | 07:23 |
| bigeye | What is the meaning of "$@" in Makefile? | 07:23 |
| LetterRip | lahwran: ^ | 07:23 |
| nit-wit | moses_, cool can you booot in | 07:23 |
| Starminn | lahwran: What way is that? | 07:23 |
| moses_ | idk it didnt give me the option | 07:24 |
| moses_ | it just had 1 single linux os in the beginning | 07:24 |
| lahwran | Starminn: no clue. it might be anything from a button in a gui to a config file to recompiling it. | 07:24 |
| nit-wit | moses do you get this grub> | 07:24 |
| Starminn | lahwran: Bleh. Thanks | 07:24 |
| moses_ | grub opened | 07:24 |
| LetterRip | i have a hardware brightness button but it also says 100% | 07:24 |
| lahwran | bigeye: "all arguments, as separate thingys" | 07:24 |
| lahwran | LetterRip: I don't know more than that | 07:24 |
| bigeye | lahwran: Thanks. | 07:24 |
| nit-wit | moses_, do you need a link to the script | 07:25 |
| moses_ | no im running it now | 07:25 |
| nit-wit | moses_, cool | 07:25 |
| lahwran | bigeye: I think, anyway | 07:25 |
| patr|ck_ | oops | 07:25 |
| lahwran | bigeye: that's true in bash scripts, at least | 07:25 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, http://pastebin.com/8e6c3qv9 | 07:27 |
| moses_ | its looking good! | 07:27 |
| moses_ | i hope ;) | 07:27 |
| nit-wit | moses_, cool hold on | 07:28 |
| Ileden | i! I just upgraded to 11.04, and the new desktop is really messed up. Here's a pic: http://ileden.kapsi.fi/dist/ubuntu-11-04-messed-up.jpg However, booting to "Ubuntu Classic (no effects)" works. I figure the issue is about display drivers somehow... but how do I proceed in fixing this? | 07:28 |
| moses_ | Ileden, update your driver or reinstall it? | 07:28 |
| Ileden | moses_: how? | 07:28 |
| nit-wit | moses_, you on a live cd right now? | 07:29 |
| xtknight | Ileden, are you using nouveau? | 07:29 |
| Ileden | Oh, on second thouht, Ubuntu classic (no effects) is also exhibiting some problems. Mouse doesn't respond well, and everything seems sticky in a way. Display's ok though. | 07:29 |
| moses_ | nope | 07:29 |
| moses_ | im on ubuntu | 07:29 |
| SLRUAN | nouveau? | 07:30 |
| AbTux | Ileden: which system?I mean model number? | 07:30 |
| xtknight | do you have an nvidia card? looks suspiciously like the corruption i saw on my nvidia with nouveau driver | 07:30 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, so should i move grub and try and reboot without the external drive? | 07:30 |
| moses_ | actually it looks to have brought grub with it doesnt it? | 07:31 |
| MaKaTiGuY | question | 07:31 |
| lahwran | sooo... how would I go about shutting off the samba server permanently without removing nautilus's capability to connect to other samba servers? | 07:31 |
| lahwran | !ask | MaKaTiGuY | 07:31 |
| ubottu | MaKaTiGuY: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 07:31 |
| MaKaTiGuY | is it safe to install ubuntu tweak in ubuntu 10.10? | 07:31 |
| xtknight | SLRUAN, nouveau is the open source driver that replaced 'nv' which served nvidia cards on previous versions of ubuntu. it .....attempts to enable 3d support, but since it is a still a testing driver, it's quite unreliable. i've been trying to file bugs on it,etc | 07:31 |
| Ileden | AbTux: Model number? | 07:31 |
| nit-wit | moses_, I put it on a pastebin, boot the live cd unplug the external and run the two commands.http://paste.ubuntu.com/609928/ | 07:32 |
| xtknight | Ileden, what kind of video adapter do you have? | 07:32 |
| Ileden | xtknight: I don't know what I'm using. The card is ATI Radeon HD 3650 though | 07:32 |
| xtknight | oh ok | 07:32 |
| xtknight | Ileden, did you install the latest ATI proprietary driver? or have you not done any custom driver installation yet? | 07:33 |
| Zelozelos | ahaaa i think this is the one for installing it to a flash drive 'sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/deb /dev/sdb1' | 07:33 |
| Ileden | xtknight: iirc I did have the proprietary driver. I did have some touble with video previously, though, so it might be I switched to the open driver instead. Damn, it was a while ago, don't really remember. :-/ | 07:34 |
| xtknight | that will install a boot sector to /dev/sdb1 | 07:34 |
| Zelozelos | xtknight, the usb connected flash drive right? | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | Zelozelos: Never install grub's boot sector to a partition. | 07:34 |
| Ileden | xtknight: at least on the "ubuntu classic" listing additional drivers says "This dirver is not activated" | 07:34 |
| Zelozelos | Jordan_U, theres only one partition on it | 07:35 |
| nit-wit | moses use a natty cd is important as well to run these commands | 07:35 |
| xtknight | Zelozelos, that depends. /dev/sd* are mainly for hard disks/SCSI, but flash drives generally come after all your hard disks. so if you only have one hard disk, then probably, yes | 07:35 |
| Zelozelos | im trying to make a live flash, but got stuck on the grub part | 07:35 |
| xtknight | Ileden, oh okay. well the proprietary driver is generally more stable, so give that a try. | 07:35 |
| xtknight | Ileden, even though i love the open source drivers because of their compatibility with the screen applet, rotation and other things, proprietary still work much better in general. | 07:36 |
| Zelozelos | dang its says no space left | 07:36 |
| Jordan_U | Zelozelos: It doesn't matter how many partitions there are. You should install to the mbr, not to any partition. | 07:36 |
| Ileden | xtknight: ok, activating it now. | 07:36 |
| xtknight | yeah and whatever you do, dont install a grub sector to an NTFS partition......so much data loss | 07:37 |
| xtknight | usually best on the MBR | 07:37 |
| Zelozelos | Jordan_U, so should it be sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/deb /dev/sdb ? | 07:37 |
| Jordan_U | Zelozelos: Yes. | 07:37 |
| Zelozelos | Jordan_U, mount | tail -1 says "/dev/sdb1 on /media/deb type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)" | 07:38 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, when i transfered the copy it brought grub along with it | 07:38 |
| moses_ | its working perfectly | 07:38 |
| ssfdre38 | how do i do a chown on all files and folders at one time? | 07:39 |
| Jordan_U | Zelozelos: That doesn't matter. You *never* want to install grub's boot sector to a partition. --root-directory specifies where /boot/grub/ should go, the device specifies where grub's boot sector goes. | 07:39 |
| xtknight | ssfdre38, chown -R user:group root_of_directory | 07:39 |
| Obsolate | ssfdre38: use -R | 07:40 |
| ssfdre38 | thanks | 07:40 |
| xtknight | ssfdre38, that will chown everything from that root onwards. be careful | 07:40 |
| nit-wit | moses_, okay I'm a little confused, you just wanted some confimation.? | 07:40 |
| ssfdre38 | its not going to be from the root | 07:40 |
| moses_ | yeah | 07:40 |
| moses_ | from the script | 07:40 |
| moses_ | this is tight | 07:40 |
| xtknight | hopefully not / root :) i meant the starting place from which recursion will occur | 07:40 |
| moses_ | the startup is so fast no also ;) | 07:40 |
| Zelozelos | Jordan_U, unfortunatly its right, the drive is all filled up ;( i need to try something smaller | 07:40 |
| slimjim8094 | hey all - oldish laptop with intel 845gl graphics, but xorg insists on using 'vesa' and 'fbdev' instead of the 'intel' driver... any ideas? | 07:40 |
| AnAnt | Hello, can someone tell me about this natty feature: "backports package selection" ? | 07:41 |
| nit-wit | moses_, Does the Ubuntu and the vista boot without the external plugged in? | 07:41 |
| moses_ | yep | 07:41 |
| moses_ | they do | 07:41 |
| Zelozelos | Jordan_U, thats prob why it didnt install correctly in the 1st place | 07:41 |
| xtknight | AnAnt, the backports repository can be enabled in the software repositories dialog | 07:41 |
| moses_ | well i didnt try vista yet | 07:41 |
| moses_ | but ubuntu migrated perfectly | 07:41 |
| xtknight | AnAnt, backports are things made for a newer ubuntu that were retrofitted to work in your version | 07:41 |
| nit-wit | moses_, ah go for it. | 07:41 |

| AnAnt | xtknight: that was possible since before natty, what makes this a new feature in Natty ? | 07:42 |
| xtknight | AnAnt, it's not new to natty. | 07:42 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, no i didnt | 07:42 |
| AnAnt | xtknight: thanks | 07:42 |
| moses_ | but i didnt need to | 07:42 |
| nit-wit | moses_, do that without the exterb=nal and boot to both. | 07:43 |
| moses_ | i booted to linux | 07:43 |
| moses_ | all i need to do is boot to vista | 07:43 |
| moses_ | why do i need to update grub? | 07:43 |
| nit-wit | moses_, unplug the exsternal run sudo update-grub and look for vista to show in the terminal readout then boot to bothe just to make sure. | 07:43 |
| slimjim8094 | Quick question - Is there some not-so-painful way to "force" Xorg's hand in picking a gfx driver? Does xorg.conf still work | 07:44 |
| moses_ | ok | 07:44 |
| xtknight | slimjim8094, yup itll still work | 07:44 |
| nit-wit | moses_, updating grub is about the most important thing you can remember | 07:44 |
| slimjim8094 | xtnight, is there an easy way to generate one? no more dexconf, apparently... | 07:44 |
| xtknight | slimjim8094, i mean dpkg-configure -plow ... i think will allow you to choose a driver, or there's some xorg config command, but putting it in the xorg.conf is the easiest...umm typically it ships without a xorg.conf so you kinda have to find one from somewhere..or umm,hold on | 07:45 |
| moses_ | ok it updated | 07:45 |
| xtknight | slimjim8094, try that sudo Xorg -configure | 07:45 |
| nit-wit | moses_, although you moved ubuntu the script shows the sdb grub stuff the jupdate with it removed will clean it up. | 07:45 |
| moses_ | ok | 07:45 |
| TeamColtra | I am trying to extract a multi-part rar file with a video, and it seems as though every rar file has the same video inside because it keeps extracting all of them and it just keeps saying video.avi then video(2).avi and when I load them they are all the same but its also missing part of the movie... I am presuming that ubuntu is supposed to extracting all these videos into the same file somehow? | 07:46 |
| slimjim8094 | xtknight, that looks like it'll work... hang on | 07:46 |
| xtknight | TeamColtra, are you using the unrar package? | 07:46 |
| TeamColtra | xtknight, I am not sure | 07:47 |
| xtknight | rar has always worked well for me, and it's always been perfectly cognizant of multipart archives as long as you choose .rar or part01.rar..... and ONLY extract that one | 07:47 |
| xtknight | otherwise i'd be very not surprised if it generated like a million of the same file | 07:47 |
| TeamColtra | Hmm well I tried the first one in the string only... and I guess it DID output the video... but the video size is more than the rars combined so I am assuming there was more (especially because I unrared a second one and it gave me a folder with the video in it) | 07:48 |
| ssfdre38 | can i do a manual update of the distro phpmyadmin in /usr/share? | 07:48 |
| xtknight | TeamColtra, and make sure the case of your rar files isnt messed up. linux cares if one is PART02.RAR and the other is part03.rar, sadly | 07:49 |
| drwx | hi i just put natty on my netbook, i use chromium but for some reason firefox 4 is constantly taking over my default browser setting, any idea why? i'm not using firefox | 07:49 |
| MaKaTiGuY | is it safe to install ubuntu tweak in ubuntu 10.10? | 07:49 |
| xtknight | drwx, how do you conclude that it's taking over the default browser setting? | 07:49 |
| xtknight | links open in it? | 07:49 |
| drwx | xtknight, every time i launch chromium it says it is not the default browser and i set it back to being default | 07:50 |
| xtknight | drwx, i think chromium bugged me about this too. chromium's default browser thing has always been wonky for me. try going to system->preferences->preferred applications and setting your preference there. | 07:50 |
| drwx | xtknight, but firefox always takes it back some how | 07:50 |
| TeamColtra | xtknight, does 11.04 ship with the proper unrar tool for it? I guess this is the right video.. it just seems... short | 07:50 |
| drwx | ok ill give it a try | 07:50 |
| xtknight | drwx, if it keeps bugging you about it, it's a bug in chromium and just tell it to not ask you.... as long as your links open in chromium it *is* default | 07:51 |
| drwx | last time i clicked on a link tho i think it did open in firefox | 07:51 |
| xtknight | software. prefs. should fix that.. | 07:51 |
| xtknight | TeamColtra, i dont think it does. i think you have to "sudo apt-get install unrar" | 07:51 |
| nit-wit | moses_, we posted really close together so are rebooting? | 07:52 |
| nit-wit | *you | 07:52 |
| moses_ | yeah | 07:52 |
| moses_ | im gonna reboot | 07:52 |
| drwx | ill give it a try but im pretty sure the problem is something is always switching it back to firefox | 07:52 |
| nit-wit | moses_, cool.;) | 07:52 |
| Ileden | xtknight: well, the proprieraty driver works - sort of. The display is ok, but everything still seems quite jerky. | 07:53 |
| xtknight | Ileden, hmmm , what are you using again? ubuntu classic? | 07:53 |
| Ileden | xtknight: well now I'm using the new one | 07:53 |
| xtknight | unity? | 07:53 |
| Ileden | xtknight: yeah. | 07:53 |
| Ileden | xtknight: seems a bit weird, though. :) | 07:53 |
| xtknight | Ileden, okay, there's three i think on 11.04, there's unity, ubuntu classic, and ubuntu classic (no effects). (well i dont like unity that much myself). but can you go through that list and see if all are jerky, and if not, let me know which ones are not we can go from there | 07:54 |
| Ileden | xtknight: ok, i'll do that. | 07:54 |
| Ileden | xtknight: btw, even the user choice login screen appears in a bit jerky manner. I can see vertical refreshing going on as it fades in. | 07:55 |
| xtknight | Ileden, oh okay. then scrap that | 07:55 |
| === XuMuK|ZNC is now known as XuMuK | ||
| xtknight | Ileden, i suspect the proprietary driver is not actually being used. so even 2d acceleration is not working and it's going back to failsafe, slow 'vesa' mode. are you sure the ATI proprietary driver supports your card actually? i think they...'nix'ed...support for several cards | 07:56 |
| Ileden | xtknight: no idea :D how do I check that. | 07:57 |
| xtknight | hd 3650? ill just check | 07:57 |
| xcr | :( | 07:57 |
| xcr | ati is illegal | 07:57 |

| nn_9ubuntu | HI All | 07:58 |
| Ileden | xtknight: system->administration->additional drivers | 07:58 |
| nn_9ubuntu | i have some problem in ubuntu 10.10 any one can solve please :) | 07:59 |
| xtknight | Ileden, hmm catalyst 8.84? wow natty includes such an old version. but it still looks like it supports your hard | 08:00 |
| xtknight | card | 08:00 |
| Ileden | xtknight: it does say "this dirver is activated and currently in use"... but yeah, the feedback sure seems like it's not using a driver. | 08:00 |
| Fudge | nn_9ubuntu that is hardly a description people can help with | 08:01 |
| Ileden | xtknight: it's "FGLRX" if that makes any difference. | 08:01 |
| xtknight | Ileden, oh nevermind i think there's just a versioning difference or something. well, if you could attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log it would help actually (pastebin) | 08:01 |
| xtknight | fglrx is the proper driver. | 08:01 |

| xtknight | Ileden, well, it's definitely starting fglrx... | 08:03 |
| xtknight | Ileden, can i see your /etc/X11/xorg.conf too? | 08:04 |
| Ileden | xtknight: http://paste.ubuntu.com/609941 | 08:05 |
| xtknight | Ileden, do you have two monitors or a TV attached to TV-out maybe? | 08:05 |
| Ileden | xtknight: No, only one. The card does have two outputs. | 08:05 |
| Ileden | xtknight: (plus a tv-out it seems) | 08:05 |

| xtknight | Ileden, despite the slowness, is it reasonable to get to the desktop ? if it is try "glxinfo" in a terminal, once in, and paste that | 08:06 |
| Ileden | xtknight: sure, reasonable in a debugging sense, not really reasonable for everyday use. | 08:07 |
| Ileden | xtknight: don't have glxinfo, installing now... | 08:07 |
| xtknight | oh ok debugging i meant, ahha | 08:07 |
| xtknight | Ileden, so i guess stuff like scrolling webpages looks like a bunch of pages ripping and it's really slow, pretty much? and graphics just lags in general? | 08:07 |
| Ileden | xtknight: yes. e.g. scrolling around the pastebin text there happened in approx 0.5sec refreshes | 08:08 |
| Ileden | xtknight: http://paste.ubuntu.com/609943 | 08:09 |
| xtknight | Ileden, you know, i'm wondering if the open source driver is somehow conflicting. proprietary drivers usually would not have these issues. are you on pci express or agp? | 08:09 |
| waldz | hey | 08:09 |
| Ileden | xtknight: AGP | 08:09 |
| xtknight | Ileden, ohh dear. i think ati deprecated some support for agp cards. let me double check for sure | 08:10 |
| DocPlatypus | ok | 08:10 |
| xtknight | i kind of remember my friend having a similar issue | 08:10 |

| momok | i can ping its lan ip | 08:12 |
| xtknight | Ileden, weird though, i can't seem to find any mention in the release notes for the linux version | 08:13 |
| blake | args0: Not really. What are your questions though? | 08:13 |
| xtknight | Ileden, so maybe that's not it. unfortunately from that point onwards i'm not quite sure. the only other thing i can think of is an incompatibility with something the opensource driver was using, which Additional Drivers should have taken care of anyway. can you try "fglrxinfo" and run the amd-cccle and see if there seems to be anything strange?? | 08:14 |

| Ileden | xtknight: fglrxinfo seems ok (Radeon HD 3600 Series), but what's amd-cccle? | 08:16 |
| blake | args0: Yes. I would use the most reliable connection I had. Normally wireline connections are considered reliable, but in your case its the other way around. Use 3G unless you have serious latency and/or cost issues. | 08:16 |
| sunit | s0menick: it's in case of ubuntu server | 08:16 |
| xtknight | Ileden, it's fglrx-amdcccle package, it should add a configuration tool for fglrx | 08:16 |
| s0menick | momok google is good | 08:16 |
| momok | emmm ok thanks anyway | 08:17 |
| Ileden | AbTux: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3600 Series [1002:9598] | 08:17 |
| s0menick | sunit, you cannot ssh to your ubuntu server? | 08:17 |
| Ileden | AbTux: hm, wonder what's with the "mobility" radeon there... this isn't a laptop. | 08:17 |
| xtknight | Ileden, oh, if it's a mobility, agp is irrelevant. isn't it integrated onto the motherboard? | 08:17 |
| Ileden | xtknight: it isn't mobility. | 08:17 |
| momok | try nmap sunit to check whether its open or not :) nmap -sS -vv 123.x.x.x -p22 | 08:17 |
| Ileden | xtknight: it's an agp card on a desktop computer. | 08:18 |
| xtknight | Ileden, so you have a tangibly dedicated card plugged into a slot? wow | 08:18 |
| xtknight | lol | 08:18 |
| xtknight | ok maybe just misidentifying it | 08:18 |
| Ileden | :) | 08:18 |
| args0 | blake: I can achieve speeds of 1Mbps on DSL with a low ping latency or move to a 4Mbps 3G with a higher ping. The question is, I've tried 3G in different countries and notices a high latency even when connecting to a server located in the same city I am situated in. Is 3G always with a high latency rate? | 08:18 |
| Ileden | xtknight: I'd expect, or otherwise I'm better at computer hardware hacking than I knew. :) My old T30 laptop does have mobility radeon, but I sure havent dug it up from there ever :D | 08:19 |
| xtknight | Ileden, so the open source driver is always that corrupted for you? is it only in 2d or 3d too? | 08:19 |
| xtknight | lol | 08:19 |
| sunit | s0menick: I getting trouble to ssh connect to ubuntu server | 08:19 |
| Ileden | xtknight: don't knwo if I've used 3d on this work computer ever. | 08:19 |
| blake | args0: Yes. I work for a wireless ISP providing essentially 3G and 4G services (Pre-WiMAX and WiMAX). Wireless has higher latencies due to timing issues on the airlink protocol. | 08:19 |
| s0menick | sunit, have you tried using the verbose mode for your ssh? | 08:20 |
| sunit | momok: ok | 08:20 |
| Ileden | xtknight: but no, before upgrade to 11.04 (on 10.10) things were rather ok. not ideal, there was some weird lags sometimes, but nothing like this. | 08:20 |
| blake | args0: So, its normal to see higher latency on point-to-multipoint connections. We see anywhere between 30ms to 50ms from the customer's modem to our tower. | 08:20 |
| xtknight | Ileden, your chipset is listed as supported with radeonhd (ati open source driver). [ RV635:Radeon HD 3650, HD 3670. ] if you're feeling ambitious, file a bug with them. dont even bother with ati, they wont get back to you. but the open source drivers are generally great for 2d | 08:21 |
| blake | args0: point-to-point is another story. 0.Xms or 1ms is common for our microwave backhaul :) | 08:21 |
| Ileden | xtknight: I assumed the previous lags weren't due to display card, but now I'm not so sure... | 08:21 |
| xtknight | Ileden, and if you're not feeling ambitious you can either keep debugging or swap in another card, whichever is easier ;) | 08:21 |
| AbTux | Ileden: try to uninstall fglrx and try to install OpenSource ATI Drivers | 08:21 |
| DocPlatypus | ok. Firefox safe mode doesn't even fix it. | 08:21 |
| Ileden | AbTux: how do I do that? | 08:21 |
| xtknight | Ileden, you can go back into additional drivers to uninstall fglrx. which should in turn replace the opensource | 08:22 |
| xtknight | restore* | 08:22 |
| args0 | blake: can you tell me more about point-to-point? | 08:22 |
| Ileden | xtknight: let's see... how do I confirm I'm using the open source driver? | 08:22 |
| blake | args0: Sure. We're kinda off-topic so this might be better in a private message. | 08:22 |
| xtknight | Ileden, Xorg.0.log should be talking a lot about 'ati' or 'radeonhd' or 'radeon' i think. if it mentions 'fglrx', it's the proprietary | 08:23 |
| xtknight | iled only after you restart your session though. Xorg.0.log always pertains to your current session, and you always have to logout to use a different video driver. | 08:23 |
| Ileden | xtknight: ok. but "talking a lot about" :) is there no command that would just tell me which driver is in use? | 08:24 |
| Ileden | xtknight: even restart i guess, not just logout | 08:24 |
| xtknight | Ileden, yeah i know it doesnt sound too convincing. it's the most reliable way to determine what is *actually* running, but i think this can also work. sudo lshw -class video|grep driver= | 08:24 |
| incidence | Hmm, how can I hide unity bar on the left? | 08:25 |
| xtknight | Ileden, hmm,usually just logout. but if you have problems, rebooting may help that since some modules are still loaded. | 08:25 |
| incidence | It's kinda annoying because its the topmost window. Can't click "previous" in firefox etc. | 08:26 |
| Ileden | xtknight: now removed the fglrx and rebooted, http://paste.ubuntu.com/609945 | 08:27 |
| fcuk112 | incidence, i think if u configure the bar to appear when you move the mouse top left, the bar auto-hides | 08:28 |
| jason_562 | what are you guys talking about? | 08:28 |

| xtknight | Ileden, yup definitely opensource | 08:29 |
| szal | jason_562: wrong window? | 08:29 |
| jason_562 | huh? | 08:30 |
| xtknight | lol | 08:30 |
| Ileden | xtknight: this actually works better now than with the proprietary. Webpage scrolling still jerky, though, but moving windows around became really smooth. | 08:31 |
| xtknight | Ileden, that's weird that stuff is still jerky though. i wonder if something's going on with the card or maybe it's just not that powerful. but have you tried it in windows? | 08:32 |
| incidence | fcuk112: It's configured like that by default. | 08:32 |
| Ileden | xtknight: nope, only on ubuntu. it should be pretty decent card though, can't imagine it being a power issue. plus the computer's quite ok otherwise too, and it was definately behaving faster in 10.10 | 08:33 |
| xtknight | Ileden, oh , wow, strange | 08:33 |
| fcuk112 | incidence, by default it appears if you move the mouse left, not top-left | 08:33 |
| fcuk112 | incidence, last time i checked | 08:33 |
| Ileden | xtknight: hm, it's definately a lot less jerky than before though. | 08:34 |
| mage7 | python 2.6 is installed by default in my ubuntu 10.10, how do i upgrade it to 2.7....2.7 is backwards-compatible with 2.6 right? | 08:35 |
| Ileden | xtknight: WOW I had a VERY weird artefact just now briefly. a geometrical white shape on the right side of the screen. | 08:35 |
| xtknight | Ileden, well opensource drivers usually aren't perfect. and the proprietary apparently just aren't working properly whatsoever | 08:35 |
| xtknight | Ileden, hehe yeah, expect that with opensource drivers | 08:35 |
| xtknight | Ileden, if i had a dollar for every weird artifact i got with nouveau(the nvidia opensource one) i would not have to worry about retirement. ;) | 08:36 |
| Ileden | xtknight: well, that isn't a big deal. Actually, other web pages seem rather ok. but scrolling on ubuntu pastebin is still jerky. Huh?! | 08:36 |
| xtknight | Ileden, what browser? try another, i guess | 08:36 |
| Ileden | xtknight: yea, tried with both chrome and firefox. firefox works better but the effect is still there. | 08:36 |
| Ileden | xtknight: and it's not the page itself, of course. works as smooth as ever on my netbook which doesn't have any fancy display card :) | 08:38 |
| xtknight | yeah.. | 08:38 |
| Ileden | xtknight: it's in usable condition though. However, my netbook works faster, which isn't really how it's supposed to go :D | 08:39 |
| xtknight | Ileden, heh, it all depends on driver support | 08:39 |
| Ileden | xtknight: and there definately is some jerkiness at some operations. especially with starting an operation, it seems. | 08:39 |
| mage7 | hello... question: python 2.6 is installed by default in my ubuntu 10.10, how do i upgrade it to 2.7....(assuming 2.7 is backwards-compatible with 2.6) | 08:39 |
| bahasa | helloo | 08:40 |
| bahasa | testing | 08:40 |
| Ileden | for example, sliding desktop right/left starts with a huge jerk, but then becomes ok. not smooth ever, though. | 08:40 |
| sunit | s0menick: how can I use verbose mode for ssh ? | 08:40 |
| s0menick | sudo apt-get install python2.7 | 08:40 |
| Ileden | xtknight: I wonder if turning off compiz makes any difference | 08:40 |
| xtknight | Ileden, interesting | 08:40 |
| xtknight | Ileden, oh, yeah, it would probably help to turn that off | 08:40 |
| s0menick | sunit, use -vvvv as part of your string | 08:40 |
| Ileden | xtknight: em, how do I do that on 11.04... the option seems to be gone from appearance... | 08:41 |
| xtknight | Ileden, start with ubuntu classic(no effects) i think at login | 08:41 |
| s0menick | xtknight, sure you just don't want Ileden to install the closed catalyst drivers? | 08:41 |
| Ileden | xtknight: ah. | 08:41 |
| xtknight | s0menick, we tried, but they seemed to not have any 2d acceleration for him | 08:41 |
| xtknight | no idea why | 08:41 |
| * s0menick scratches its head | 08:42 | |
| s0menick | what do the logs say? | 08:42 |
| sunit | s0menick: what is the full command ? | 08:42 |
| Ileden | s0menick: yeah. it's acting pretty weird. here's xorg.0.log for the proprietary: http://paste.ubuntu.com/609940/ | 08:42 |
| xtknight | they looked ok to me. http://paste.ubuntu.com/609940/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/609941 http://paste.ubuntu.com/609943/ | 08:42 |
| s0menick | sunit, type what you typed before and then put -vvvv in it | 08:42 |
| nit-wit | moses_, your back are you good? | 08:42 |
| === SmokeyD_ is now known as SmokeyD | ||
| nit-wit | *you're | 08:43 |
| * s0menick is reading | 08:44 | |
| incidence | fcuk112: Might be because I use twinview. It used to work before that | 08:44 |
| sunit | s0menick : ok | 08:44 |
| Ileden | s0menick, xtknight: turning off compiz doesn't affect much. | 08:45 |
| siraj | exit | 08:45 |
| s0menick | siraj use ^D instead :P | 08:45 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, indeed | 08:46 |
| moses_ | everything is so sick ;) ty for all the help | 08:46 |
| s0menick | thought it might be an fglrx issue until i saw the card is AGP | 08:47 |
| izinucs | Ileden: s0menick looks like the TV isn't responding to requests for what resolution and frequency it needs.. | 08:47 |
| nit-wit | moses_, no problem glad to know. ;) | 08:48 |
| beagleOCS | hi. How can automatically start vlc after booting on ubuntu 10.10 ? | 08:48 |
| moses_ | nit-wit, now i can go back to my python lessons | 08:48 |
| s0menick | beagleOCS put it in your start windows items under preferences | 08:48 |
| linuxnja | beagleOCS: go under "start up items" under prefernces | 08:48 |
| s0menick | hey Ileden, xtknight it's a a HD3600 yeah? | 08:48 |
| linuxnja | beagleOCS: then click add, and choose vlc | 08:48 |
| beagleOCS | do you mean preferences---> startup applications ? | 08:49 |
| s0menick | embedded? | 08:49 |
| Ileden | xtknight: but yeah, the system is usable enough I guess. though there definately is still something wrong. I wonder if rest of the problem lies somewhere else, maybe I could try running xfce... | 08:49 |
| nit-wit | moses_, ;) | 08:49 |
| === TheAckOp is now known as TheHackOps | ||
| linuxnja | beagleOCS: yep | 08:49 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: xfce is win! | 08:50 |
| TheHackOps | clear | 08:50 |
| beagleOCS | then, It's not a solution: I want that vlc starts after booting, not after gnome stuff startup | 08:50 |
| Ileden | xtknight: funny that ubuntu pastebin scrolls more slow than, like, bbc news :D | 08:50 |
| TheHackOps | What is the offtopic channel again? | 08:50 |
| s0menick | beagleOCS, vlc uses the X stuff from gnome | 08:50 |
| Kaco | !off | 08:50 |
| linuxnja | beagleOCS: you mean the vlc daemon? | 08:50 |
| DJones | TheHackOps: #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:50 |
| TheHackOps | Cheers mate | 08:50 |
| nit-wit | ubuntu-offtopic I think | 08:51 |
| Ileden | linuxnja: yeah, I use it on my netbook. Wonder if it'll help at all with this problem I'm having, though. | 08:51 |
| Codepros | hi | 08:51 |
| beagleOCS | linuxnja: s0menick, I want to launch vlc without any graphical interface | 08:51 |
| xtknight | Ileden, wow interesting | 08:51 |
| s0menick | Ileden, xtknight yeah you'll have to hard-code the params for the display if your primary display is a TV | 08:51 |
| linuxnja | beagleOCS: you can edit the file /etc/rc.local and add "vlc &" under neath the "/bin/sh" | 08:51 |
| s0menick | beagleOCS yeah you want the daemon then | 08:52 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: xfce is the best DE at multiple screens/monitors | 08:52 |
| s0menick | vlc actually has quite good articles on their website about that | 08:52 |
| linuxnja | beagleOCS: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-348571.html there's some information on starting daemons in Ubuntu :) | 08:52 |
| xtknight | Ileden, there might be a radeonhd opensource driver channel u can ask in | 08:52 |
| s0menick | linuxnja i think theres a cleaner way | 08:52 |
| nit-wit | I love vlc but it is even with the latest version makes my memory go nuts. | 08:53 |
| linuxnja | s0menick: probably, I'd be interested in finding out if there is. I'm so used to BSD init :P | 08:53 |
| beagleOCS | linuxnja: already tried, and it did not work. should I remove "#" from the line #!/bin/sh -e ? | 08:53 |
| Ileden | linuxnja: really? how exactly, on my netbook at least I only have the same image displayed to an external projector, which doesn't seem that spectacular to me. | 08:53 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: Well, not spectacular but as far as out of the box suppport for multiple monitors xfce wins imo | 08:54 |
| DocPlatypus | okay... well moving my .fonts out of the way gets rid of it. but I don't want to uninstall all my fonts just to fix Firefox | 08:54 |
| Ileden | xtknight: more debug... it seems opening an rendering windows takes a lot of time, but opearting on them doesn't that much. Like, opening an attachment in thunderbird, even the small dialog box took a while to open, but switching windows is still fast. | 08:55 |
| Ileden | linuxnja: I don't seem to have any out-of-the-box support for an external display. hm.. | 08:55 |
| szal | DocPlatypus: have a screenshot? | 08:55 |
| === inumedia_ is now known as INumedia | ||
| === INumedia is now known as Inumedia | ||
| eut | hello | 08:56 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: hmm, you mentioned you have a netbook. Is it an intel card? | 08:56 |
| xtknight | Ileden, memory allocation maybe takes awhile | 08:56 |
| eut | anyone know of good pdf editing software? i just want to add some text to a pdf application. | 08:56 |
| s0menick | beagleOCS, noooo | 08:56 |
| Ileden | linuxnja: yep, seems so. | 08:56 |
| xtknight | Ileden, i wonder how much video ram is actually being used. agp aperture???? | 08:56 |
| s0menick | beagleOCS, don't remove that | 08:56 |
| Ileden | xtknight: how do I check that? | 08:56 |
| linuxnja | eut: PDFEdit workds | 08:57 |
| linuxnja | *works | 08:57 |
| xtknight | s0menick, it's an hd3650 | 08:57 |
| momok | hi friends | 08:57 |
| eut | you can add new text with it? | 08:57 |
| xtknight | agp dedicated | 08:57 |
| momok | hi s0menick i've got question | 08:57 |
| s0menick | xtknight, embedded into the motherboard? or slot-in | 08:57 |
| momok | i've just try to create a proxy server on vps | 08:57 |
| s0menick | momok, ya? | 08:57 |
| s0menick | vps? | 08:57 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: using XRandR? | 08:58 |
| xtknight | Ileden, it says you have 512MiB of video ram...ddr2... | 08:58 |
| linuxnja | eut: yep | 08:58 |
| xtknight | s0menick, like a card you buy | 08:58 |
| momok | but when i set it in my chrome the proxy server.. it shows only the vps apache index... it cannot forward | 08:58 |
| Ileden | xtknight: should be pretty good amount, and with good performance.. :-/ | 08:58 |
| s0menick | xtknight, its kinda odd. it gets the modes from the tv then says that it never got them and dies. probably best to hard code the horiz and vert in the .ini file | 08:58 |
| xtknight | Ileden, the bios sometimes has an agp aperture setting...you might check this, but i dont know much about it in general | 08:58 |
| Ileden | linuxnja: i have no idea what's XRandR | 08:58 |
| momok | that vps is ubuntu 10.04 :( | 08:58 |
| xtknight | yes the open source driver works better with xrandr | 08:59 |
| xtknight | s0menick, do you think it's a mode problem? i think maybe EXA or XAA problem, | 08:59 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: XRandR is a toold to configure which display ports are open, and to configure display modes | 08:59 |
| Ileden | xtknight: hm, thanks for the bios tip. let's see... | 08:59 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: like xinerama | 09:00 |
| xtknight | Ileden, what do you have plugged in ? just a regular monitor right? what kind of port? | 09:00 |
| Ileden | linuxnja: yep, seem i have the command at least. never used it. | 09:00 |
| eut | linuxnja, i cant seem to figure out how to add new text? the text selector just lets me select existing text but nothingelse | 09:00 |
| momok | actually s0menick i've modified the /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.conf and set the proxy request as on | 09:00 |
| momok | and restarted the apache2 | 09:00 |
| Ileden | xtknight: regular TFT monitor on DVI (converted to VGA to use on a silly TFT with only VGA input, meh) | 09:01 |
| xtknight | viewsonic VA902 it seems | 09:01 |
| Ileden | xtknight: note that i'm talking about a different thing with linuxnja :) | 09:01 |
| s0menick | xtknight, simplest thing is to get an xorg.conf from someone that has a working version of the card | 09:02 |
| xtknight | s0menick, yeah, that's true, i guess he should try that | 09:02 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: XRandR is a simple way to set up multiple monitors, but it's a bit rough around the edges. I recommend looking in to xinerama, it's very powerful | 09:03 |
| momok | emm its ok s0menick maybe i should googling more than 2 days.. if its still problem i will ask :) | 09:03 |
| xtknight | Ileden, maybe at peak hours try asking in #radeonhd , if there's 5 people in the world that know the answer to your problem, i bet 4 are in that channel since they made the driver | 09:03 |
| Ileden | linuxnja: i'm ok with rough around the edges, as long as they do what I want. I'll look into both, thanks. | 09:03 |
| Kevin | How can I turn prmissions off so I can read write or whatever to any folder? In xubuntu 10.10 desktop. I'm the only user and my own computer denies me access to everything! Awesome. | 09:03 |
| s0menick | what does fglrxinfo say? (from terminal) | 09:03 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: there's also a program in the repos called "arandr" which is a gui front end to XRandR | 09:04 |
| Ileden | xtknight: doesn't seem to be any AGP setting in bios. | 09:04 |
| momok | s0menick: seems you have many fans here :P | 09:04 |
| xtknight | the monitors applet is pretty good with xrandr too right? arandr offer anything else? | 09:04 |
| s0menick | momok yeah and i'm just about to go out drinking :P | 09:04 |
| linuxnja | xtknight: arandr doesn't offer much else, just an alternate front end for people without the applet/gnome | 09:05 |
| s0menick | momok so you're trying to make your ubuntu server proxy internal net www etc requests out to the internet? | 09:05 |
| Ileden | xtknight: there is something though, "Onboard video memory" which can be set from 8M to 32M (auto)... | 09:05 |
| xtknight | i love nouveau's xrandr compatibility. i think it might be responsible for making youtube actually fullscreen properly on dual monitors. and 3d actually somewhat works | 09:05 |
| llutz_ | Kevin: you can't and you shouldn't. get used to use sudo/gksudo if needed | 09:05 |
| xtknight | Ileden, oh ok,well wait a minute, do you have an onboard card or what's going on? | 09:06 |
| moses_ | whats a good torrenting program that ubuntu comes with | 09:06 |
| xtknight | onboard...adapter | 09:06 |
| moses_ | vuse? | 09:06 |
| Ileden | xtknight: lemmecheck... yes, there's some onboard adapter on the motherboard. | 09:06 |
| linuxnja | moses_: Deluge is nice if your used to uTorrent on Windows | 09:06 |
| moses_ | im used to vuse | 09:06 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: probably intel GMA (that's what I have, an Acer Aspire One) | 09:07 |
| xtknight | Ileden, and it would be helpful to know which one is on the board. i think you might be, erm, somehow, using that instead of the agp. haha. i dont know. lspci would tell ya. but that mobile radeon is making me really nervous lol | 09:07 |
| Ileden | linuxnja: note that I'm talking about another thing with xtknight (a desktop computer) | 09:07 |
| linuxnja | Intel N10 integrated controller specifically | 09:07 |
| linuxnja | Ileden: lol, okay my bad :P | 09:07 |
| Ileden | xtknight: well, the monitor sure is plugged to the extension card, not the onboard one. :) | 09:08 |
| linuxnja | moses_: Vuze works on linux | 09:08 |
| xtknight | Ileden, that's good. lol | 09:08 |
| Kevin | llutz_, Its my computer I should be able to mess it up if I want to. How else am I gonna learn? Besides, I thought Ubuntu was Linux for Human Beings? Doesn't seem like it with all the command lining just to copy and paste a file. | 09:08 |
| Ileden | xtknight: there's also an rather annoying setting on the bios, "Primary video adapter" which can be only "PCI" or "AGP/Onboard" :) No option to disable the onboard adapter... | 09:09 |
| llutz_ | Kevin: you will be able to mess it up using sudo too (and sure you will). | 09:09 |
| xtknight | Ileden, ahh.....so do you know the model of the onboard? does lspci list two video adapters in your computer? | 09:09 |
| Kevin | I need to copy and paste a file to install flash in Opera. | 09:09 |
| linuxnja | Kevin: you don't need to use the terminal to copy and paste files, it's just one way of doing it :) | 09:09 |
| Ileden | Kevin: being a human being means being fallable, though... Ubuntu jsut takes that into account. :) | 09:10 |
| llutz_ | Kevin: unix permissions/righs do have reasons. get used to it or don't use it | 09:10 |
| llutz_ | !manual | Kevin | 09:10 |
| ubottu | Kevin: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 09:10 |
| anli_ | If I want a linux router, its still iptables thats the product name of the firewall? | 09:10 |
| Ileden | Kevin: but yes, it's your computer, and you can do pretty much anything to the system with super user permissions. including totally screwing it up. | 09:10 |
| e-DIO-t | buondi' | 09:10 |
| Ileden | xtknight: no idea of the onborad adapter. didn't even notice it before this :D | 09:11 |
| xtknight | Ileden, lol | 09:11 |
| Ileden | xtknight: let's see about lspci... booting. | 09:11 |
| beagleOCS | does rc.local work only with /usr/sbin programs ? | 09:11 |
| Kevin | It won't allow me access to Opera's folder. It says I don't have permission. | 09:11 |
| xtknight | Ileden, maybe just use the onboard one? to be honest.... | 09:11 |
| linuxnja | beagleOCS: anything that is in your path | 09:11 |
| linuxnja | beagleOCS: it's a bash script | 09:11 |
| xtknight | at least until the drivers stop sucking | 09:11 |
| linuxnja | beagleOCS: so anything that can be launched by simply typing the name of the program in the terminal | 09:12 |
| llutz_ | beagleOCS: rc.local runs in a limited environment, call stuff with full pathes | 09:12 |
| llutz_ | linuxnja: wrong | 09:12 |
| Kevin | Opera, really? Who cares? If i screw that up bad enough I could always use Firefox. | 09:12 |
| llutz_ | linuxnja: rc.local won't use users environment like PATH etc | 09:12 |
| Ileden | Kevin: well, since if you're the admin, you can use "sudo" command prefix to do, well, anythnig. no idea on how to do that on the graphical side. | 09:13 |
| linuxnja | llutz_: ah, ty for the correction. I still have much to learn about sysvinit style | 09:13 |
| beagleOCS | how can I add /usr/bin in the path of rc.local ? | 09:13 |
| Ileden | Kevin: but be careful with it! | 09:13 |
| s0menick | PATH=$PATH:/usr/local or something like that | 09:13 |
| iffa | hi all | 09:13 |
| llutz_ | beagleOCS: add PATH=....path you want... to rc.local | 09:13 |
| DocPlatypus | szal: one sec, let me make a screenshot | 09:14 |
| * s0menick has gone drinking | 09:14 | |
| === weirdo is now known as Guest66583 | ||
| beagleOCS | PATH=$PATH:/usr/local or PATH= ...? | 09:14 |
| Ileden | Kevin: I guess you could use sudo to start a graphical file manager... but that'd be pretty messed up way of doing things. | 09:14 |
| xtknight | Ileden, i do it all the time ;) | 09:14 |
| Kevin | How do I use sudo to turn off permissions or copy and paste a file without permission?... Or give myself permission? | 09:14 |
| Ileden | xtknight: :D really? | 09:14 |
| linuxnja | Kevin: Permissions are there for a reason, you don't want to "turn them off" | 09:14 |
| Ileden | xtknight: well, i still stand by my point. pretty powerful stuff, running a file manager with root access. :P | 09:15 |
| xtknight | Ileden, well there's no gksu privilege escalation in nautilus yet, well last time i checked. and sometimes it's really annoying when i want to move lots of folders. or for some reason i'm being denied permission to my own usb drive. or cant figure out how to usurp control of the darned thing | 09:15 |
| DocPlatypus | szal: http://scramble.shawnkquinn.com/screwed-up-fonts-google.png -- enlarged way larger than what I normally have it as, to show this font | 09:15 |
| xtknight | i mean im not one of those guys who tries to copy stuff to /usr and goes nuts with sudo but i mean, sometimes mount points are pesky | 09:15 |
| DocPlatypus | whatever the heck it is, I want to get rid of it. it's not every website, only some now. | 09:15 |
| Ileden | xtknight: lspci only shows one VGA controller, and it's the mobility radeon. Which does indeed worry me as well :D | 09:15 |
| llutz_ | Kevin: btw opera and flash installed from repos won't need any manual copy-action | 09:15 |
| xtknight | Ileden, oh dear | 09:15 |
| xtknight | Ileden, now your problem is starting to bug ME | 09:16 |
| Ileden | Kevin: the right way to go about installing flash would be to install a package into the system that would enable flash, without manually copying any files. | 09:16 |
| szal | DocPlatypus: "Access denied" | 09:16 |
| Ileden | xtknight: me too, glad I'm not alone :P | 09:17 |
| Kevin | I'll decide what I want or don't want. But, I just need to copy and paste something... Windows would let me... Among all its flaws windows would let me screw it up all day long. Mac does too. | 09:17 |
| DocPlatypus | szal: oh crud... hang on | 09:17 |
| xtknight | Ileden, are you sure you have an integrated one too!?!? what motherboard | 09:17 |
| linuxnja | Kevin: and Linux lets you screw it up as well via the root accont | 09:17 |
| Kevin | Not according to flash its not. | 09:17 |
| Ileden | Kevin: Ubuntu does "let" you to do it. | 09:17 |
| xtknight | Ileden, or heck just take the agp out and see if the lspci listing is still there. the old fashioned infallible way | 09:17 |
| Ileden | xtknight: good point. :) i'll check the motherboard model at the same time. | 09:18 |
| Ileden | xtknight: ngh, motherboard is one of these "we don't really want to write any useful info here" -types... | 09:19 |
| xtknight | Ileden, lol ya | 09:19 |
| Kevin | But how do I paste this file to where I don't have permission? I already downloaded it. I might as well do it their way. | 09:19 |
| linuxnja | Kevin: via sudo | 09:19 |
| AegisX | Hi guys; I'm trying to add the SVN repository from this site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kildclient/develop/ How do I do thta? | 09:19 |
| Ileden | xtknight: computer is labeled as Compaq presario 6540fi though. | 09:19 |
| xtknight | Ileden, but the top of the "sudo lshw" output could also tell you the motherboard. unplug the agp anyways | 09:19 |
| thegoodcushion | good evening everybody! | 09:19 |
| llutz_ | Kevin: install opera and flash from repos, you don't have to download/copy anything manually | 09:19 |
| linuxnja | Kevin: sudo cp /path/to/file /path/to/new/location | 09:19 |
| AegisX | It's written like this: svn co https://kildclient.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kildclient kildclient | 09:19 |
| llutz_ | Kevin: learn to use your system | 09:19 |
| danslo | AegisX: what is the problem? :) | 09:20 |
| Ileden | Kevin: sudo cp <source> <destination> is the way to force copying a file... | 09:20 |
| AegisX | danslo: I have no idea what to do with it haha | 09:20 |
| danslo | AegisX: install subversion (just use ubuntu software center) | 09:20 |
| tyreza | hello there | 09:20 |
| AegisX | danslo: I know that you can put it in the list of addresses used in apt-get update | 09:20 |
| Ileden | Kevin: but I do advice against doing it. it's not meant to be used that way. | 09:20 |
| danslo | then type that line in a terminal :) | 09:20 |
| tyreza | i can't run fsck from live cd | 09:20 |
| tyreza | i got this error : | 09:20 |

| DocPlatypus | szal: try it now | 09:20 |
| AegisX | danslo: Ah, right... didn't realise I needed a separate program. | 09:20 |

| beagleOCS | well: in rc.local I added: sh /home/AVRecorder/temp.sh . Now, temp.sh only does "echo foo > /home/AVRecorder/temp.txt" . After booting, temp.sh is not executed. why ? | 09:21 |
| Gump | my ubuntu install is corrupted llutz. i'm stuck in windows for now | 09:21 |
| Gump | shit. guess i'm going to #windows. my bad lol. i'll be back as soon as i can | 09:22 |
| llutz_ | Gump: repair it, use a live-cd whatever | 09:22 |
| Gump | llutz, i've been trying. i gave up, and decided to start from scratch | 09:22 |
| xtknight | oh,longmode means 64bit.. nice tip =) | 09:22 |
| llutz_ | xtknight: lm = long mode | 09:22 |
| Gump | a power surge corrupted the filesystem, so i backed up everything and yeah. thanks for the help | 09:23 |
| linuxnja | Gump: then boot into the live cd, and run the command llutz_ said :P | 09:23 |

| Gump | tyreza, or just right click the filesystem and click unmount? | 09:25 |
| llutz_ | tyreza: are you sure you want to check /dev/sdb (the drive) and not a partition on it? | 09:25 |
| tyreza | i said that i m booting from a live cd | 09:25 |
| tyreza | partition not mounted | 09:25 |
| Gump | i could be wrong but i think it is mounted if you try to access it | 09:26 |
| Rincewind | nvm, seems to be loading ok this time round, i hope | 09:27 |
| xtknight | mount|grep sdb | 09:27 |
| Rincewind | although its not doing anything with the cd drive, which seems odd | 09:27 |
| szal | DocPlatypus: no friggin' idea what font that is, but it's got to be one of the first in that dir.. question: why don't you specify fonts to use in FF? | 09:28 |
| Gump | can anyone help me determine what architecture my hardware is from outside of linux? i thought it was i386 but debian install says it is amd64 | 09:29 |
| DocPlatypus | szal: I did. no matter what I pick, I get this awful thing | 09:29 |
| Gump | #windows and #linux are dead. you guys are my last hope D: | 09:29 |
| xtknight | Gump, you can do the command llutz said, grep " lm " /proc/cpuinfo | 09:29 |
| linuxnja | Gump: we told you | 09:29 |
| DocPlatypus | some of the time... now I'm taking a shot in the dark, thinking it's triggering on "arial" or "tahoma" | 09:29 |
| tyreza | mount|grep sdb it simply return to next line xtknight | 09:29 |
| DocPlatypus | so installing the MS core fonts (spit) | 09:29 |
| llutz_ | tyreza: are you sure you want to check /dev/sdb (the drive) and not a partition on it? | 09:29 |
| Gump | i can't. i can't get into linux with a bootdisk guys. i'm stuck in windows right now | 09:29 |
| Ileden | xtknight: well, now running on the onboard adapter which I hadn't even noticed... fun. :P | 09:29 |
| Rincewind | Download CPU-Z | 09:30 |
| xtknight | tyreza, ok so "sudo fsck /dev/sdb1" does not work? is sdb1 the right one?? | 09:30 |
| xtknight | Ileden, lol | 09:30 |
| tyreza | llutz_: i m sure what is difference between drive and partition ? | 09:30 |
| Rincewind | It'll tell you what your CPU is, and it works in windows :P | 09:30 |
| xtknight | Ileden, well at least you're not running on the agp...while it was out.... count your blessings | 09:30 |
| === eldho_ is now known as eldho | ||
| llutz_ | tyreza: partitions would be /dev/sdbX, "sudo fdisk -l" tells you | 09:30 |

| nn_9ubuntu | <nn_9ubuntu> Evolution Mail receive 2 mails on Delete folder and inbox why .........? | 09:30 |
| nn_9ubuntu | <nn_9ubuntu> can you please tell me why its happening | 09:30 |
| DocPlatypus | and that appears to have fixed it. | 09:30 |
| danslo | may as well go sudo fsck -A -a | 09:30 |
| Rincewind | Dammit, this live cd still won't do anything | 09:30 |

| Gump | D: | 09:31 |
| danslo | szal: you're not even supposed to say shit? well shit ._. | 09:31 |
| Rincewind | "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" <- I'm guessing this means I need to have some form of hard drive in order to boot the liveCD? | 09:31 |
| iceroot | danslo: dont troll | 09:31 |
| xtknight | Ileden, and how well does this integrated work? let me guess, smoother than the last supercomputer you tried? | 09:31 |
| danslo | iceroot: how is that trolling? | 09:31 |
| DocPlatypus | danslo: it's not like we don't all have one of those "oh $%&#" moments from time to time | 09:31 |
| iceroot | danslo: think about it | 09:32 |
| Ileden | xtknight: lol I woudn't be too sure at this point. Maybe it's an internal social power struggle between the cards. :P | 09:32 |
| szal | danslo: friggin' Anglo-Saxon political correctness, can't help it | 09:32 |
| danslo | iceroot: I don't think you understand what a troll is, but whatever... off-topic long enough | 09:32 |

| nnubuntu | Hi | 09:33 |
| nnubuntu | <nn_9ubuntu> Evolution Mail receive 2 mails on Delete folder and inbox why .........? | 09:33 |
| nnubuntu | <nn_9ubuntu> can you please tell me why its happening | 09:33 |
| xtknight | Ileden, well anyway umm ya try #radeonhd or #radeon that's my best advice...... | 09:34 |
| tyreza | llutz_: i got 11 partition | 09:34 |
| llutz_ | tyreza: pick the one you want to check | 09:34 |
| tyreza | but no one working | 09:34 |
| llutz_ | tyreza: not the extended one | 09:34 |
| tyreza | give the same result | 09:34 |
| xtknight | Ileden, OR , see if anyone has a working xorg config for hd 3650 and just copy it or some of the settings...but i dont think this will lead to much, personally, unless someone else had the exact same problem and happened to fix it with a specific option | 09:35 |
| xtknight | Ileden, actually are we really 100% sure it's the video driver? not really | 09:35 |

| sunit | when I am giving nmap -sS -vv 122.176.65.178 -p22 I am getting output which can be seen in http://dpaste.de/Bcfw/ | 09:37 |
| f0rfr33 | what's the question? | 09:37 |
| bla_ | hi, currently looking into a problem where my internal mirror is not included in the mirror.cfg file from the natty.tar.gz, is there any workaround for that as the natty.tar.gz file is signed. | 09:38 |
| szal | DocPlatypus: WhatTheFont doesn't know the font | 09:38 |
| llutz_ | sunit: and what do you want to check? no sshd listening on port 22 at that host | 09:38 |
| f0rfr33 | sunit, port is closed, end of story =< | 09:38 |
| DocPlatypus | szal: already tried it. | 09:38 |
| DocPlatypus | szal: installing the MS core fonts fixed it though. $deity only knows why... | 09:39 |
| sunit | llutz_: how can I open that port so that I can ssh connect | 09:39 |
| llutz_ | sunit: start sshd | 09:39 |
| * Tekku Bons Dias Pessoal | 09:40 | |
| Rincewind | sweet, looks like the ubuntu cd might finally boot | 09:40 |
| sunit | llutz_: command /etc/init.d/ssh start ? | 09:40 |
| tyreza | if i do : fsck /dev/sdb1 i got this : | 09:41 |
| tyreza | fsck from util-linux-ng 2.18 | 09:41 |
| tyreza | fsck : fsck.linux_raid_member: not found | 09:41 |
| tsimpson | sunit: you probably need to set port forwarding on your firewall/router to allow port 22 to go to the server | 09:41 |
| tyreza | fsck : Error 2 while executing fsck.linux_raid_member for /dev/sdb11 | 09:41 |

| Gump | my processor can support amd64 after all. can i get some thoughts on amd64 vs i386? is there really any reason to choose one over the other? | 09:41 |
| llutz_ | sunit: on that host: sudo service ssh start | 09:41 |
| llutz_ | tyreza: thats a raid, has to be handled different. i don't know how, i don't use soft-raids | 09:41 |
| linuxnja | Gump: use amd64, take advantage of your 64bit processr | 09:41 |
| Rincewind | Well, x64 supports over 4GB of ram, and can be faster for some things, due to extra cpu registers | 09:41 |
| Gump | i know amd64 generally utilizes ram better and can be faster, but it has compatibility problems. am i understanding this right? | 09:41 |
| tyreza | ok | 09:41 |
| linuxnja | Gump: I have never run into a single compatiblity problem | 09:42 |
| Gump | sweet. thats what i wanted to hear. thanks | 09:42 |
| xtknight | Gump, with linux 64bit is really a flawless transition for the most part unless we're talking about some extremely bizarre legacy app, even these are usually ok with a little tweaking. i think most of the world should have to do absolutely nothing to get amd64 working perfectly | 09:42 |
| tsimpson | Gump: the only real reason is that amd64 natively supports >4GB of RAM (though i386 can too), and that when, eventually, x86 systems fade into obscurity, you won't have to install a 64bit version later | 09:42 |
| sunit | f0rfr33: not end of story. How can I open the port ? | 09:42 |
| Ileden | xtknight: yeah, could be something else that's the problem. Ah, if I had a clean HD I'd do a clean install to test it (performance problems aren't easy to debug from live media...) | 09:43 |
| llutz_ | sunit: is that machine behind a router? are you behind the same router? does your router have portforwarding enabled? does your router have NAT-routeback enabled? | 09:43 |
| linuxnja | sunit: are you trying to ssh in from outside your local subnet? | 09:43 |
| Ileden | xtknight: I'll have to try the #radeon | 09:43 |
| DocPlatypus | tsimpson: i386 will be with us a while. at least another 5 years | 09:43 |
| Gump | 64 bit it shall be. see you on the other side gentlemen | 09:43 |
| xtknight | all, 64bit also permits more memory per process, keep that in mind. no long 1/3 or 2/2 userspace/kernel separation (i think linux is 2/2). | 09:43 |
| bla_ | hi, currently looking into a problem where my internal mirror is not included in the mirror.cfg file from the natty.tar.gz, is there any workaround for that as the natty.tar.gz file is signed. | 09:43 |
| tsimpson | DocPlatypus: that's part of my point | 09:43 |
| f0rfr33 | sunit, you can't open the port lol | 09:43 |
| tsimpson | sunit: you need to forward the port on your router or enable the port in your filrewall (if you use one) | 09:44 |
| f0rfr33 | presuming you're scanning a computer, that's not your own, it means the remote host doesn't has the port open | 09:44 |
| f0rfr33 | to open it you would require to access to it and enbale ssh | 09:44 |
| Ileden | xtknight: even this integrated card does all window draw operations quite slow. even slower than with the other card. the window render operations seem to be a key here, hm. | 09:44 |
| sunit | llutz: when I am trying to ssh connect in LAN there is problem. | 09:44 |
| tsimpson | *sigh* | 09:44 |
| xtknight | Ileden, well try a new opensuse livecd or something, or maybe fedora. they should include the latest radeonhd too and you can at least see if the same problem happens altho im pretty sure it will | 09:44 |
| f0rfr33 | sunit, you can't open a closed door, you can't even communicate through it | 09:44 |
| vijay__ | Hi | 09:45 |
| beagleOCS | how can I start vlc as a service, with ubuntu (latest versions), using rc.local ? | 09:45 |
| linuxnja | sunit: if you are trying to ssh through your local subnet, make sure sshd is running and use that machine's local IP | 09:45 |
| sunit | llutz_: when we are trying from different IP ie WAN the problem arise | 09:45 |
| Ileden | xtknight: I mean, my netbook with xfce has no problems with window draw operations at all, and it's a good benchmark for a not-so-fancy display driver :) | 09:45 |
| vijay__ | My windows is missing from boot menu can any1 help me? | 09:45 |
| linuxnja | sunit: if that problem only arises when trying from outside your local subnet, it means your router (if you are behind a router) is not set up properly. Forward the port | 09:46 |
| llutz_ | sunit: machine is behind a router? you enabled and configured portforwarding in the router? | 09:46 |
| llutz_ | sunit: i already told you yesterday what to check | 09:46 |
| vijay__ | My windows is missing from boot menu can any1 help me? | 09:46 |
| nnubuntu | XTKNIGHT:Evolution Mail receive 2 mails on Delete folder and inbox why .........can you please tell me why its happening | 09:47 |

| xtknight | i wonder what happens with 1/3 kernel/userspace separation when you have 1GB of ram though. does that mean the kernel gets 250mb and user space gets 750mb? i never perfectly understood it | 09:47 |

| sunit | tsimpson: there is no firewall | 09:48 |
| sunit | llutz_: machine is behind a router and port forwarding is enabled | 09:48 |
| vijay__ | wait will try | 09:48 |
| tsimpson | sunit: then forward port 22 to the internal IP of the server running sshd | 09:48 |
| f0rfr33 | sunit, you'll have to explain better the matter, I'm not familiar with the situation, but if you're trying to hack/epxloit/pentest or w/e you better chose another port | 09:48 |
| llutz_ | sunit: and sshd is up and running on that machine? "sudo lsof -i :22" | 09:49 |
| vijay__ | should i restart and check | 09:49 |
| tsimpson | "sudo netstat -lnp|grep sshd" will show if sshd is running, and on what ip/port | 09:49 |
| Ileden | xtknight: maybe I should just hit the onboard video chip with this screwdriver and see what that does :P | 09:50 |
| xtknight | Ileden, lol | 09:50 |
| xtknight | Ileden, oh i didnt realize #radeon was a LOT more populated than #radeonhd. well hopefully they can give you an answer | 09:50 |

| mattypants | iFrenzy, he means: just ask your question and wait to see if you get an answer | 09:54 |
| szal | iFrenzy: don't ask if anyone knows, can, or is there.. state your problem as precisely as possible & wait patiently for an answer | 09:55 |

| xtknight | anyways | 09:55 |
| mattypants | xtknight, exactly | 09:55 |
| mattypants | xtknight, the waiting part comes after that | 09:55 |

| AziaBurgi | thanks, xtknight | 09:57 |
| Ileden | iFrenzy: but if nobody seems to be answering it after a few tries, there jsut isn't anyone here who'd know how or would be willing to answer it. in that case you'll just have to try again later time. | 09:57 |
| tommy^m | hi guys, just installed ubuntu 11.4. i still have an Xorg process running. I thought 11.4 was running Wayland? | 09:57 |

| ShaunDreclin | Damn haha its really annoying when i lose my cursor off the top of my monitor | 10:00 |
| nnubuntu | Xtkinght : have you some experience on Evolution mail ? | 10:00 |
| iFrenzy | szal: I get this jeffrey@jeffrey-Acer:~$ Command 'billard-gl' is available in '/usr/games/billard-gl' | 10:00 |
| iFrenzy | The command could not be located because '/usr/games' is not included in the PATH environment variable. | 10:00 |
| xtknight | ShaunDreclin, the only other thing you can do is change the virtual resolution...at least nvidia lets you. so instead of going into dead space it just scrolls.. | 10:00 |
| nnubuntu | Xtkinght : have you some experience on Evolution mail ? | 10:01 |
| ShaunDreclin | Eh scrolling is worse for me | 10:01 |
| xtknight | ShaunDreclin, you're not alone, unfortunately | 10:01 |
| szal | iFrenzy: iow, put that path | 10:01 |
| xtknight | ShaunDreclin, but eh i came across this, but only for Xrandr-compliant drivers. http://superuser.com/questions/248840/limit-video-output-to-a-section-of-a-display-and-leave-the-rest-blank | 10:01 |
| iFrenzy | szal: iow? how would i do that? | 10:01 |
| szal | iFrenzy: by entering what it says there | 10:02 |
| iFrenzy | ok it started then | 10:02 |
| iFrenzy | szal: it started then so how do i make it work when i click on the icon | 10:03 |
| tommy^m | what do you guys think about unity? | 10:03 |
| xtknight | i dont like it | 10:03 |
| ShaunDreclin | xtknight hmm ill fiddle with that. Also does ubuntu come with java or do i need to install that | 10:03 |
| iFrenzy | tommy^m: it sucks | 10:03 |
| quick- | tommy^m: it not good in looks but i dnt lik eit | 10:03 |
| xtknight | ShaunDreclin, actually in hindsight it seems like he's having a different problem. no idea what the command does. but u can install java with the sun-java6-jre package i think | 10:03 |
| Ileden | xtknight: reinstreting did the trick. I wonder what on earth was wrong there. | 10:04 |
| xtknight | Ileden, huh? | 10:04 |
| xtknight | reinserting? | 10:04 |
| ShaunDreclin | Do i just type that into terminal? Totally new to linux here | 10:04 |
| nnubuntu | Xtkinght : have you some experience on Evolution mail ? | 10:05 |
| xtknight | ShaunDreclin, well i think searching for java in the software center should lead you there | 10:05 |
| quick- | ShaunDreclin: wat do u wanna do ? | 10:05 |
| Ileden | xtknight: yeah, taking the card out and inserting it again. computer hardware is weird, i have no idea how it would be possible for me to insert the card in any way wrong to the slot, but now i have video output again. | 10:05 |
| daedaluz | ShaunDreclin: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 10:05 |
| xtknight | Ileden, wait, so that fixed the acceleration problem? | 10:05 |
| daedaluz | ShaunDreclin: you can also find it in Software Center | 10:05 |
| Ileden | xtknight: :D No! | 10:06 |

| xtknight | Ileden, what did it fix? lol im confused | 10:06 |
| iFrenzy | szal: any ideas? | 10:06 |
| Ileden | xtknight: hah, understandable misinterpretation. | 10:06 |
| xtknight | or did i miss some climax of the story | 10:06 |

| Lungan | Why doesn't VPN work in ubuntu 11.04? Only get error as soon as I try to connect to the VPn | 10:07 |
| Ileden | acutally I though maybe the card might have just died on me - maybe it was dying, and messing around with it finished it off. but no, it's now running again, with the same problem. onward to the #radeon :) | 10:08 |
| ShaunDreclin | Thanks quick- xtknight daedaluz :D | 10:08 |

| cbz | what sort of vpn? | 10:08 |
| xtknight | Ileden, although you could induce it with a screwdriver | 10:08 |
| Ileden | xtknight: :D "whoops" | 10:08 |
| Lungan | cbz, Anonymous surfing, but I works on other computers, and in 9.04 it did work to connet also | 10:09 |
| iFrenzy | ok so evidently its only games from the software center that is having this problem all the other apps will start fine | 10:09 |
| Ileden | Hi! How much trouble is it to install xfce on Ubuntu 11.04? Will it screw things up a lot, or is it a piece of cake and just another selection at bootup? | 10:09 |
| xtknight | Ileden, apt-get xubuntu-desktop ... i think?? | 10:09 |
| xtknight | it's not too hard | 10:09 |
| xtknight | my mom used to use xubuntu for awhile....so......well yeah | 10:09 |
| Ileden | xtknight: yeah, but will there be some unexpected consequences, or does ubuntu handle multiple desktop managers fine? | 10:10 |
| tsimpson | Ileden: you choose which to use while logging in, it will be listed as an option on the login manager | 10:10 |
| xtknight | yeah.....im pretty sure it's there.... | 10:11 |
| Kevin | Ileden, I tried it and for some reason after restart Ubuntu/xUbuntu wouldn't load to desktop at all. | 10:11 |
| beagleOCS | Hi. I added: echo aaaaa > /home/ocs/foo.txt in rc.local. But the command is not executed after boot. why? | 10:11 |
| xtknight | unity...classic...failsafe...whatever...XFCE | 10:11 |
| Ileden | Hey, is there some nifty description on what Unity is about somewhere? I don't mean what it does, but WHY it does the things the way it does, what's the reasoning behind it all? | 10:13 |
| xukun | anyone here mange to install xbmc on ubuntu 11.04? | 10:13 |
| xtknight | i tried to find justification on unity, but good lord i couldn't | 10:13 |
| iFrenzy | ok so here's my problem if anyone can help: Any game I install from the software center will not start i get an error about failed to execute child process, when i type "gamename &" in the terminal I get an error that says "the command could not be located becase '/usr/games' is not included in the PATH environment variable" I can get then type "/usr/games/gamename &" and the app will start, but when i click on the icon it stil | 10:13 |
| iFrenzy | l won't open | 10:13 |
| tsimpson | unity is there to provide a united interface on all platforms/form-factors etc | 10:13 |
| Ileden | xtknight: :D I'm actually genuienly interested. How knows, maybe it might work better than the old type of desktop once you get used to it. but I need a bit convincing ;) | 10:14 |
| tsimpson | Ileden: see http://unity.ubuntu.com/ | 10:14 |
| daedaluz | tsimpson: stupidest reasoning I've ever heard | 10:14 |
| xtknight | Ileden, i tried, i really did, but switched back to classic without further rumination. it just wasn't natural to me. but you should check out GNOME 3, it works, although causes horrible crashes at least on the nvidia opensource driver.... | 10:14 |
| Ileden | iFrenzy: ok, you need to add /usr/games to PATH variable... I'm not quite sure what's the right way to do that though. | 10:15 |
| Kevin | I know this is a little OT byt, Is there a free OS that will run exe.'s without VM windows? | 10:15 |
| daedaluz | suuuure my 4-year-old phone and 24" desktop are the same, suuuuure | 10:15 |
| xtknight | !wine | Kevin | 10:15 |
| ubottu | Kevin: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 10:15 |
| xtknight | the only thing unity has united is the whole world into thinking it was a bad idea | 10:15 |
| Ileden | tsimpson: thanks, it does seem they have quite a bit of the reasoning written there too. didn't expect that. | 10:16 |
| tsimpson | beagleOCS: did you add it before or after the "exit 0" line? | 10:16 |
| Ileden | Kevin: yup, I've run many exe's through wine without any trouble. | 10:16 |
| beagleOCS | tsimpson: yes | 10:17 |
| Ileden | xtknight: :) | 10:17 |
| p_res | Kevin: it all depends on what you're trying to install/run. | 10:17 |
| xtknight | i admire canonical's enthusiasm. and what better to test unity than to deploy it on every new ubuntu installation. i mean i can definitely see their logic.... | 10:18 |
| thegoodcushion | using that kind of logic we should all be running any shitty project found on sourceforge | 10:18 |
| p_res | unity was well tested before launching upon the general community. | 10:18 |
| xtknight | well compiz was also put in right after the C++ transition. and caused....interesting problems like unclickable parts of the screen | 10:18 |
| tsimpson | discuss unity pros/cons in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 10:18 |
| thegoodcushion | what do you mean by the C++ transition? | 10:20 |
| tsimpson | thegoodcushion: move the discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 10:20 |
| manitou_ | is there any libusb developer? | 10:20 |
| xtknight | manitou_, i've worked with it only a little bit | 10:21 |
| Kevin | p_res I was thinking it might be a viable alternative if someones Os breaks. I could be like hey, you could run Ubuntu and still run blah blah blah games or whatever. Or itunes (thats messed up wine to run a mac program) | 10:21 |
| janhaj | Hello.. does anybody have computer / laptop with Intel HD Graphics 3000? | 10:21 |
| manitou_ | xtknight, come to private channel | 10:21 |
| tsimpson | Kevin: itunes is not "a mac program", it's developed by apple but is a windows app. and probably not working in wine as itunes expects to have raw access to the USB device | 10:22 |
| gaelfx | apologies for ot, but #dd-wrt is dead, does anyone know a router that can run DD-WRT and get 300Mbps wireless signals? | 10:23 |
| Kevin | tsimpson, knit picking a little? | 10:23 |
| llutz_ | gaelfx: new buffalos can | 10:23 |
| tsimpson | Kevin: no, it really is a windows application, not a mac app. you can't run mac apps with wine | 10:23 |

| sveinse | In an upstart config, why would one use the "pid" stanza? It seems upstart is capable of tracking the service's PID without referring to a pid file | 10:26 |
| tsimpson | sveinse: #upstart would be a better place to ask that | 10:26 |
| lillem4n | I feel so stupid! How do I set corner hover to show desktop in Ubuntu classic 11.04, compizConfig? | 10:30 |
| Deddly | I was using my computer and the screen became garbled, whereby the computer crashed. I was forced to hard-reset. Within a few minutes, the same thing happened again. It happened a third time and now the screen is also garbled right from the BIOS, refuses to boot at all now. Does anyone know what is wrong? | 10:32 |
| r0fs3ck5 | Deddly: what kind of graphics card are you using? | 10:34 |
| Deddly | r0fs3ck5: The computer is a Dell XPS m2010...I do not know what graphics card is used | 10:35 |
| === ebo is now known as ebotras | ||
| ChessTeach | in ubuntu is there anyway to print to a uninstalled printer without installing it? | 10:36 |
| r0fs3ck5 | Deddly: If you are saying that your graphics are garbled whilst in your BIOS boot screen, then it may be a hardware issue and I suggest talking to Dell's support people. | 10:37 |
| p_res | ChessTeach: wtf. why? | 10:38 |
| Deddly | r0fs3ck5: Well that would be a good idea but apparently Dell no longer support this machine... :/ | 10:39 |
| sveinse | I'm having problems with a custom init script (and I think it belongs to #ubuntu): | 10:39 |
| ChessTeach | p_res: i am writing a program that wishes to print to a network printer, and I would prefer not to write any code that checks to see if the specific printer is installed | 10:39 |
| p_res | i don't even think it's technically possible is it? | 10:40 |
| r0fs3ck5 | Deddly: :/ You could try wiggling the monitor on it's hinges. That model is an odd one. Half laptop, half desktop. | 10:40 |
| ChessTeach | p_res: i really am just looking for options to the problem | 10:40 |
| sveinse | "initctl status vsbuilder" returns "vsbuilder start/running, process 1035" while "service vsbuilder" returns | 10:40 |
| sveinse | "vsbuilder: unrecognized service". Isn't this a bug? | 10:40 |
| ChessTeach | p_res: sure it is possible, not sure if it is supported | 10:40 |
| p_res | i mean how can you print to a printer that doesn't exist. | 10:40 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ChessTeach: What model printer do you have. | 10:40 |
| skataria | can any one tell me ...how to add multiple ip on the network | 10:40 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ? | 10:40 |
| Coffe | Hello, working on restricting access by ssh , to LDAP, and i have a pam_filter, and added it. but dont seems like its caring about it | 10:40 |
| MethedMan | i am working with firemath and am trying to get a formatted output into an openoffice document. any takers? | 10:40 |
| ChessTeach | r0fs3ck5: there are alot of printers, not sure of the model of any of them | 10:41 |
| skataria | ip's are from different gateway | 10:41 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ChessTeach: Do any of them have USB flashdrive support? | 10:41 |
| ChessTeach | r0fs3ck5: probably | 10:41 |
| ChessTeach | r0fs3ck5: but some will not | 10:42 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ChessTeach: Then you may be able to save your document to a flash drive and print them using sneakernet. | 10:42 |
| ChessTeach | r0fs3ck5: naw that won't work... this code is for automatic printing | 10:42 |
| ChessTeach | r0fs3ck5: it is best just to write the code to check to see if it is installed i think | 10:42 |
| p_res | i'm confused. is it an actual saved file you're printing? | 10:43 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ChessTeach: Is it a matter of you not having linux drivers for a specific printer? | 10:43 |
| ChessTeach | r0fs3ck5: we probably have them on the machine, just we haven't set up the printer yet | 10:44 |
| ChessTeach | r0fs3ck5: this of course is just a possible situation that will probably happen | 10:44 |
| ShaunDreclin | Whats the linux equivilant of a .bat file? | 10:44 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ShaunDreclin: a .sh file | 10:44 |
| ShaunDreclin | Danke | 10:44 |
| Ileden | ShaunDreclin: shell script, often .sh, but could be any extension. needs to have "execute" rights, which you can give with "chmod u+x file.sh" | 10:45 |
| Ileden | ShaunDreclin: though unlike windows bat, to run it (or anything in linux) you need to prefix that with the current dir. e.g. "./myscript.sh" | 10:46 |
| ShaunDreclin | Trying to set it up so i can run it by double clicking, is that doable? | 10:47 |
| r0fs3ck5 | ChessTeach: If you do have the drivers, you may be able to print over the network. You probably would need to provide more information about what you are trying to do and with what hardware. | 10:47 |
| ChessTeach | r0fs3ck5: yes thats what I was thinking | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | ShaunDreclin: make a launcher to run the script | 10:47 |
| ShaunDreclin | How would i do that~ | 10:47 |
| Deddly | r0fs3ck5: Yeah I tried that, thanks for the suggestion though. I've even opened it up, tried it with the battery, without the battery and popped the memory out and back in again | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ShaunDreclin: right click desktop -> new launcher. Fill in the boxes | 10:50 |
| Coffe | is there a way of logging / check logging of pam ? so i can figure out why my pam filter failes ? | 10:50 |
| ShaunDreclin | Doh, thanks! | 10:50 |
| Samo502 | I'm having a "Label Empty" issue when dragging icons into the unity dock | 10:51 |

| Samo502 | well actually | 10:52 |
| Samo502 | scratch that | 10:52 |
| Samo502 | i'm having an issue with the terminal appearing in the unity dock | 10:52 |
| ShaunDreclin | I can use ~/Folder instead of /home/shaun/Folder right? | 10:52 |
| sunit | llutz_ : you can see result of sudo lsof -i:22 in http://dpaste.de/OVX4/ | 10:52 |
| Samo502 | if i have a terminal open unity doesn't acknowledge it | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ShaunDreclin: I'd use the full path, just to be safe | 10:52 |
| Samo502 | maybe i'll update real quick and see what happens | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | ShaunDreclin: You can keep your desktop cleaner by moving the script to /usr/bin and then poinht the launcher to that | 10:53 |

| theadmin | MethedMan: Insert -> Object -> OLE Object -> from file. Should work out | 11:13 |
| MethedMan | theadmin: that is not working. is there a plug-in that i am missing? | 11:14 |
| theadmin | MethedMan: Not sure, maybe the difference is that I'm running LibreOffice | 11:15 |
| kubanc | how do i change my default session from unity to gnome? | 11:15 |
| theadmin | kubanc: On the login screen, choose "Classic Ubuntu" or something similar. | 11:16 |
| MethedMan | can i get libreoffice on 10.04 | 11:16 |
| theadmin | MethedMan: Probably, let me search the repos | 11:16 |
| theadmin | MethedMan: Seems it's only there for Natty | 11:16 |
| MethedMan | yeah | 11:16 |
| kubanc | theadmin, yes, but every time I restart PC, the login windows appears with default as unity | 11:16 |
| theadmin | MethedMan: However, you can download the .deb packages from their site, unpack them, and then run "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" in the folder where they are. | 11:17 |
| MethedMan | theadmin: any reason why openoffice is not default with Natty | 11:17 |
| dshimer1 | MethedMan: I moved up to LibreOffice using the source and software tools in UbuntuTweak. It worked flawlessly | 11:18 |
| kubanc | theadmin, i found the settings in the login screen menu... | 11:18 |
| theadmin | MethedMan: Well, probably -- I myself find LibreOffice a lot better. | 11:18 |
| === denny- is now known as denny | ||
| theadmin | MethedMan: Better format support generally | 11:19 |
| theadmin | kubanc: Well, unless something was changed, it should set the default according to the last used session, so I dunno | 11:19 |
| MethedMan | dshimer1: does ubuntu-tweak solve the flash-plugin issues that eat up cpu | 11:19 |
| izinucs | MethedMan: there's a question about OOo being dropped by Oracle at some point | 11:19 |
| theadmin | Time to check for upgrades... xD | 11:20 |
| samkan1 | Hi | 11:20 |
| samkan1 | I am new to Ubuntu ! | 11:20 |
| MethedMan | izinucs: i never understood what oracle would gain by acquiring openoffice other than to usher its demise | 11:20 |
| Drake| | samkan1: ok :p | 11:20 |
| theadmin | samkan1: Well, if you need any help, ask away | 11:21 |
| kubanc | theadmin, i don't won't to use unity, so i installed gnome 3, and now I set it as default GUI session | 11:21 |
| samkan1 | i havr 6 yrs of experience in RHEL :) | 11:21 |
| dshimer1 | MethedMan: does that flash-plugin problem you mention have something to do with LibreOffice, I'm not familiar with it, it's nothing I've experienced | 11:21 |
| theadmin | samkan1: Then you're probably new to APT, though, our package management tools ;) | 11:21 |
| samkan1 | package compling, shell scripting, perl script | 11:21 |
| samkan1 | yes theadmin | 11:22 |
| theadmin | samkan1: Read "man aptitude" and "man apt-get" | 11:22 |
| samkan1 | because i use package compile from source | 11:22 |
| theadmin | samkan1: Compiling from source when it's in the repos => bad | 11:22 |
| MethedMan | dshimer1: there is a flash binary that runs in the background called npviewer.bin | 11:22 |
| samkan1 | but that gives the deeper understanding about the package | 11:22 |
| samkan1 | gcc, makefile...etc.. | 11:23 |
| MethedMan | dshimer1: it eats up cpu even when not in use | 11:23 |
| theadmin | samkan1: You probably should use Slackware, then :P | 11:23 |
| dshimer1 | MethedMan: I can check when on my home pc, just know I upgraded to LO and everything runs great. The whole family uses it constantly and we're seeing much better compatibility with other formats. | 11:25 |
| MethedMan | dshimer1: thanks for the tips. in regards to the flash issue, i just noticed a reference to a flash drive on the ubuntu-tweak website. thought i would ask. anyway, good day to you sir. | 11:29 |
| staminna | hey guys, one question about apache2, why is it protected as root:root ? I can't copy, read or edit anything withough sudo. | 11:32 |
| Obsolate | security issue | 11:32 |
| Obsolate | and it should stay as that | 11:32 |
| airtonix | yeah because noone ever wants to write to /var/www | 11:33 |
| airtonix | -_- | 11:33 |
| theadmin | Well, you could create a group, say, "httpd" and chown :httpd /var/www | 11:33 |
| theadmin | And add proper users there | 11:33 |
| Obsolate | u dont need to write to /var/www | 11:34 |
| airtonix | there is already a www-data user and group | 11:34 |
| samkan1 | yaa theadmin | 11:34 |
| airtonix | Obsolate: yes... you do. | 11:34 |
| Obsolate | no u dont | 11:34 |
| airtonix | orly? prove it | 11:34 |
| Obsolate | just point u virtual server to any folder u want | 11:34 |
| Obsolate | i have mine i home | 11:34 |
| staminna | Obsolate: I see, though Isn't apache the www-data user? Or should I join the root group with my username instead? | 11:34 |
| airtonix | why would i run a virtualhost out of ~/user lawl | 11:34 |
| airtonix | staminna: neither. | 11:35 |
| Obsolate | what? | 11:35 |
| airtonix | staminna: create a specific group per virtualhosts public_html and add users to that group, then chown the virtual_hosts public_html with that specific group | 11:36 |
| samkan1 | OK, so how can i make sure that disk has written data correctly | 11:36 |
| airtonix | staminna: but you should be asking about this in #httpd | 11:36 |
| samkan1 | is there any mechanism to find out | 11:36 |
| theadmin | samkan1: md5sum | 11:37 |
| samkan1 | i want to make sure at disk IO operation | 11:37 |
| samkan1 | if i commit any data to disk, do i get any response, that the data has written correctly | 11:38 |
| samkan1 | because sometimes data written to disk, but at the time of read, i got media error, can't read data from disk | 11:38 |
| Obsolate | rly dont know check apache logs | 11:39 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: it's possible to have written properly but still have read errors, it could be a bad sata cable or bad sata port | 11:40 |
| patr|ck_ | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU | 11:40 |
| patr|ck_ | sorry for the spam earlier | 11:40 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: I had a problem like that recently where it turns out my sata ports on my mobo were bad, I ended up buying an HDD dock and now everything works | 11:40 |
| patr|ck_ | about time i realize how to do IRC affairs right :D | 11:40 |
| samkan1 | no everything is ok, but it happens some times | 11:40 |
| patr|ck_ | ok | 11:40 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: can you check the SMART status of your drive? | 11:41 |
| samkan1 | just checked, it passed | 11:41 |
| samkan1 | gaelfs, you got my point? | 11:41 |
| theadmin | samkan1: Hint: type a few letters of the name and hit Tab. For instance, type "thead<tab>", try it out | 11:42 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: I mean can you look into the details of SMART status, it should tell you how many read/write errors there are outstanding on your drive | 11:42 |
| samkan1 | yes, ATA error count 2, now what? | 11:43 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: how about pending sector count? | 11:44 |
| theadmin | Hm, how do you check those smart statuses? | 11:45 |
| gaelfx | theadmin: I usually just use Disk Utility | 11:45 |
| slikts | how do I disable the alt+shift+arrows Expose hotkeys? | 11:45 |
| gaelfx | theadmin: but I'm sure there are some simple CLI commands for it as well | 11:45 |
| theadmin | gaelfx: Yeah, that's what I'm wondering, the gnome-disk-tool thing or what it was is no fun to install just for that | 11:46 |
| slikts | I can't find the alt+shift+arrows hotkeys neither in the gnome keyboard shortcuts panel or in compiz settings | 11:46 |
| slikts | and I can't google it | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: in ccsm | 11:46 |
| samkan1 | there is no pending sector count ! | 11:46 |
| theadmin | slikts: You'll probably need something like CompizConfig | 11:46 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: as in it's zero or it's unavailable? | 11:46 |
| slikts | theadmin: I can't find it in compiz config | 11:46 |
| samkan1 | i use smartctl utility to check smart status | 11:46 |
| theadmin | slikts: Well ask ActionParsnip, (s)he seems to know better | 11:47 |
| samkan1 | yes it is unavailable ! | 11:47 |
| ThinkT510 | !ccsm | slikts | 11:47 |
| ubottu | slikts: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | slikts: well you mentioned Expose, is it in the expose plugin? You can try disabling it to see if it still works | 11:47 |
| samkan1 | is there any better utility than this? | 11:47 |
| gaelfx | theadmin: I installed smartmontools in Windows to check my netbook, I think they have a linux version as well | 11:47 |
| slikts | ThinkT510: I said I have it, thanks | 11:47 |
| ThinkT510 | slikts: sorry | 11:47 |
| slikts | ActionParsnip: there is no such shortcut in the plugin, that's why I'm asking | 11:47 |
| theadmin | gaelfx: Yeah, I just did "yaourt -S smartmontools" as well | 11:48 |
| slikts | the alt+shift+arrow keys are interfering with an important function in netbeans | 11:48 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: well, that seems a little strange. This is a sata drive or...? | 11:48 |
| slikts | it's very frustrating that I can't disable a global hotkey | 11:48 |
| samkan1 | data drive | 11:48 |

| samkan1 | gaelfx: no it occur random | 11:49 |
| mattwj2002 | well I guess there will never be ubuntu 11.10! :( | 11:49 |

| Guest92240 | Hello everybody, I have some questions about skype on ubuntu: 1. May someone hack my skype account finding my nick name till i Block the 'hacker'? 2. May someone send me a link like spyware, malware or rootkit when I am using web browser mozilla firefox or reqonc, konquerer web browser? 3. May my OS Linux Ubuntu 11.04 be compromised? Let me explain the following situation: One day I have been in my skype account and someone from | 11:52 |
| Guest92240 | india wanted to add him and I blocked him. after a while an user from Bulgaria with nickname jeronimo2890. I blocked him too. After blocking him he stole my skype account indiana.jones7964 - this is my nickname. I am from Bulgaria too. This incident happened when I was on Ubuntu 10.10. I am on Ubuntu since January 2010. I think he knows my IP and Mac Address. I would like to tell me how to protect my mac address. | 11:52 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: it's definitely possible, I've had more than a couple hard drives overheat on me and stop reading/writing | 11:52 |
| slikts | quiescens: it shows something like expose | 11:52 |
| theadmin | Guest92240: Skype is insecure ever since Microsoft'd bought it. However, Ubuntu and Linux in general are not compromised to malware attacks. | 11:53 |
| slikts | quiescens: Alt+Shift+Arrows triggers a useless Alt+Tab like screen | 11:53 |
| samkan1 | gaelfx: Ohh, ok so monitor the temp. | 11:53 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: yeah, just to see if that's the common thing that's causing read errors | 11:53 |
| _joey | it'd be nice if you suckers could answer my question | 11:54 |

| MonkeyDust | idd | 11:54 |
| samkan1 | gaelfx: if it the temp, then can u please suggest me the possible solution | 11:54 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: of course, it's also possible that it's a firmware issue (you should look on the manufacturer's website), or it's also possible it's just random :P | 11:54 |
| theadmin | _joey: If someone'd know, someone'd answer. | 11:54 |
| theadmin | dusf: Choose jockey | 11:54 |
| _joey | theadmin: I was polite then | 11:54 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: well, the only thing I can think of would be to get an extra fan on it | 11:54 |
| mithran | _joey, join #chromium | 11:55 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: or if possible, move it to a cooler (but not damp) place | 11:55 |
| samkan1 | gaelfx: but what if it is embedded system and running in field | 11:55 |
| quiescens | slikts: i don't know what it is that is using alt-shift-(something) for you, but if you know it is compiz, you can jump into ccsm, and then try to assign alt-shift-(left) or whatever to something, and it will warn you about what else is using it | 11:55 |
| gaelfx | samkan1: then my best suggestion is fengshui | 11:55 |

| Kuwanger | I have an odd problem. About 50% of the time when I boot, my mouse cursor is corrupt and various pixmaps on the screen are corrupt as well (although a lot oddly aren't). Meanwhile, a screen grab looks much more corrupt than the real screen does. The only major difference I've noticed is that the kernel module load order is different. :/ | 11:59 |

| mykal | theadmin, will that provide some sort of gui for admin? | 12:01 |
| ThinkT510 | cousin_mario: excellent, then you can add it manually under /etc/grub.d/ | 12:01 |
| cousin_mario | ThinkT510: I'm not sure how. | 12:01 |
| Kuwanger | Could someone do me a favor and list their agpgart line from lsmod? | 12:01 |
| theadmin | mykal: Nah, you have to add rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 12:01 |
| theadmin | mykal: Then NetworkManager will detect them | 12:02 |
| cousin_mario | Kuwanger: is it still used in these pci-express days? | 12:02 |
| ThinkT510 | cousin_mario: i'll walk you through it | 12:02 |

| Kuwanger | cousin_mario: No idea. But I assume some people still have agp cards. | 12:02 |
| mykal | theadmin, ok, so you mean if i add those rules, then i can setup through network manager? | 12:02 |
| theadmin | mykal: Correct | 12:03 |
| mykal | theadmin, thanks, any reading you can point me to for rules.d config | 12:03 |
| ThinkT510 | cousin_mario: you'll need to edit the file as sudo: so do the following: sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 12:03 |
| BajK | is there a pdf editing software for (k)ubuntu? i just need to change some minor things no big layout things or pictures | 12:03 |
| theadmin | mykal: Depends only on the modem model | 12:03 |
| mykal | theadmin, so i assume, plug it in, lsusb, then add some rule to have it detected as network iface | 12:04 |
| darkwood | where is location of syslog i need to restart? | 12:04 |
| theadmin | mykal: Nah, what you have to do is to add a rule for usb_modeswitch to destroy the built-in CD drive/mass storage, if any | 12:04 |
| ThinkT510 | cousin_mario: then add this to the end of the file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/610024/ | 12:04 |
| ThinkT510 | cousin_mario: edit it accordingly | 12:05 |
| theadmin | mykal: Then go to the "Mobile Broadband" tab in networkmanager and have fun there | 12:05 |
| mykal | theadmin, of course, makes sense, to get round truinstall and additional SD slot issues. makes sense, thanks mate | 12:05 |
| ThinkT510 | cousin_mario: after doing that run sudo update-grub (or grub-update, i never remember which way round it is) | 12:06 |
| cousin_mario | ThinkT510: doesn't the chainloader work only when there is another bootloader installed? | 12:06 |
| theadmin | mykal: No problem. | 12:06 |
| cousin_mario | ThinkT510: in other words, won't I also have to install grub1 in the opensuse partition? | 12:06 |

| Ileden | ubuntu_: yes, just ask your question. | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | rcmaehl: could be some flakey encodeing or a bad file. No idea why dragon wouldent have the same issue | 12:40 |

| gaelfx | rcmaehl_: what players have you actually tried? | 12:44 |
| natalie | have got skype isntalled, but it seems to be missing a dependency on lubuntu. libQtDBus.so.4 does not seem to exist in repo | 12:44 |
| rcmaehl_ | gaelfx: gnome player, totem, vlc, dragon, and a few others, I basically tried every video player in the repos | 12:44 |
| rcmaehl_ | gaelfx: the default repos | 12:45 |
| gaelfx | rcmaehl_: did you try smplayer? | 12:45 |
| rcmaehl_ | gaelfx: yes | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | rcmaehl_: vlc and mplayer have several differnt 'video out' options you could try. | 12:45 |
| === rcmaehl_ is now known as rcmaehl | ||
| Dr_Willis | could be its not using hardware rendering or somting for some odd reason | 12:46 |
| gaelfx | rcmaehl_: I'd have to agree with Dr_Willis on this, you should try some different video output methods | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | for vlc and mplayer - used tobe - you HAD to set the video out setting, then exit/restart the player for the setting to take. Or use the cli options | 12:46 |
| gaelfx | I personally feel it's easier to change in SMplayer, but if you're more used to VLC, it shouldn't be too difficult, though I believe you have to actually restart the video for the changes in settings to take effect | 12:47 |

| natalie | theadmin, yeah, tried that, when you click the file in gui, seems like nothing happens, but it shows up under internet menu and wont run. run skype from command line and it says it is dependant on some libQtBus file | 12:57 |
| theadmin | natalie: You do need qt to run it | 12:58 |
| natalie | gaelfx, maybe, not familiar with the name, but from the literature its a package source right? | 12:58 |
| gaelfx | natalie: yeah, sort of, you might want to look for a Skype PPA and add that instead | 12:58 |

| rjg_ | Hi, I'm running Ubuntu in a VM (Virtual Box on top of Snow Leopard). I need to access a virtual console, but the usual ALT-CRTL-F1 combo isn't doing the trick (while every other key remains within Ubuntu when I'm using the VM, all the F keys inexplicably continue to effect OSX only.) Is there any way to change the key combos and or access the virtual combo through some other route> | 13:29 |

| BluesKaj | prashant_tech, admin told me you were using pppoe to connect ..it's a script for getting dsl connection with out network manager afaik | 14:20 |
| theadmin | TheCompWiz: I don't think Ubiquity, the installer of Ubuntu, has automation of any sort :/ | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | especially if you're using a static IP , prashant_tech | 14:21 |
| sebastia1 | too bad, k cu. | 14:21 |
| TheCompWiz | theadmin: you can do automated installs... but I have a running "image" of what I want... and I want to remove things like the hostname & let it auto-set it & such to make a distributable image. | 14:22 |
| prashant_tech | BluesKaj, but when i connect using pppoeconf sometimes it dont get connect so thats why i m using network manager | 14:22 |

| iceroot | kostodo: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 14:40 |

| ronr_ | theadmin: hi again, say, if I edit the /etc/environment file instead, those changes will affect all users? | 14:41 |
| ubottu | kostodo: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH. For setting up the SSH server, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openssh-server.html . Advanced SSH uses: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Advanced .

| theadmin | kostodo: You can, apt-cache search lol | 14:45 |
| kostodo | like next is LAMP | 14:45 |
| iceroot | kostodo: apt-cache search string will give you the package names | 14:45 |
| iceroot | kostodo: lamp = "sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin" | 14:45 |
| Blackadder | understaood nso */15 I unhderstand but what are the **** | 14:46 |
| compdoc | kostodo, you arent running a desktop gui? | 14:46 |

| iceroot | ChessTeach: or your version control software | 14:48 |
| ChessTeach | iceroot: i should be using that more, i know | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | ok prashant_tech , looks to me like you have a successful script connecting you using the pppoe script to dsl , if you probs rendering some web pages it just maybe that you havent installed ubuntu restricted extras which installs flash java and multimedia codecs | 14:48 |
| === Nick is now known as Guest23131 | ||
| ChessTeach | iceroot: I plan on doing that too, but a second backup would be good too | 14:48 |

| kostodo | iceroot: is there anything else i might need for lamp? like any additional stuff for php or apache etc? | 14:51 |
| prashant_tech | BluesKaj, my software center says ubuntu restricted extras installed | 14:51 |
| kostodo | iceroot: i will need to install Drupal on this | 14:51 |
| ChesterX | hey, where can I find the installed apps executables? | 14:52 |
| mbeierl | ChesterX: was it installed via apt or software center, etc? | 14:52 |
| fumanchu182 | quick-, if you build it follow these instructions http://getnightingale.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=28 | 14:52 |
| BluesKaj | prashant_tech, then I think that if you have pppoe script connecting you don't need NM , the script does the work to connect ...is this correct theadmin ? | 14:53 |
| === Guest3840 is now known as shinnok | ||
| theadmin | BluesKaj: Correct, pon handles that | 14:53 |
| ChesterX | mbeierl, I think it was apt, although I am not sure. (What does that imply for their location?) | 14:53 |
| mbeierl | ChesterX: if it is a package that was installed, the dpkg command can list where it put things. For example "dpkg -L linux-headers-generic" lists the locations of all the files that were installed for the linux-headers-generic package | 14:54 |
| theadmin | ChesterX: Typically, you don't need to search for them. | 14:54 |
| theadmin | ChesterX: Because they are in your $PATH, so you can, for instance, just type "firefox" and have firefox running. | 14:55 |
| mbeierl | ChesterX: provided you know the name of the package that was installed. The other way is if all you know is the name of an executable, you can use "which firefox" to see where firefox is found | 14:55 |
| prashant_tech | BluesKaj, but when i connect using pppoeconf i.e pon dsl-provider sometimes it does not connect i have to redo the pppoeconf again and again | 14:55 |
| quick- | fumanchu182: i can build it myself | 14:55 |
| Guest23131 | why can't I install anything? | 14:55 |

| ronr_ | how do I move a process running in the foreground to the background? | 14:56 |
| quick- | fumanchu182: thank you | 14:56 |
| theadmin | ronr_: Ctrl+Z, typically, if you mean on a TTY or a terminal | 14:56 |
| mbeierl | ronr_: in a terminal? ctrl-z then "bg" | 14:56 |
| quick- | Guest23131: do you have space ? | 14:56 |

| ChesterX | mbeierl, I am trying to change the basic start-up application with which ff opens .doc when downloaded (to openoffice writer) | 14:57 |
| ronr_ | theadmin, mbeierl: thanks | 14:57 |
| theadmin | ChesterX: It's on Firefox's "Content" tab in preferences. | 14:57 |
| mbeierl | ChesterX: that's actually a mime-type association in firefox and should not require the changing of files on the file system | 14:57 |
| mbeierl | ChesterX: :) what admin said, in other words | 14:58 |
| b0ot | I downloaded apache2... what do I need so that I'm able to host php files | 14:58 |

| Guest23131 | can I restore if yes how? | 14:58 |
| prashant_tech | BluesKaj, ????? | 14:59 |
| theadmin | b0ot: You need PHP, obviously. | 14:59 |
| schnuffle | b0ot: install mod_php5 ctivate it and t should work | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | theadmin, then prashant_tech he should diable or remove network manager, I think it's interfering and by trying to connect because itdoesn't recognize the pppoe connection script | 14:59 |
| ChesterX | ^^ I know where I can change the option, the issue is that I have to manually choose the oo writer executable to enable it properly (which I can t find) | 14:59 |
| theadmin | ChesterX: Ah. "which soffice". | 15:00 |
| schnuffle | b0ot: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 | 15:00 |
| mbeierl | ChesterX: ah. that would be a simple "which soffice". theadmin - you keep beating me to it :) | 15:00 |
| prashant_tech | BluesKaj, i do connect via ppoeconf while having network manager installed but some times it dont work at all | 15:00 |

| galerien | (I'm using linux, but mac and windows apps are welcome too) | 15:15 |
| theadmin | DarkKnightCZ: dpkg-query -S `which sendmail` | 15:15 |
| joe_9 | In Nataualis permissions tab, when I check "Allow executing file as program" it is immediately unchecked. How can I get that setting to stay? | 15:15 |
| theadmin | joe_9: Set that permission via the terminal, like this: sudo chmod a+x '/path/to/some/file.ext' | 15:16 |
| DarkKnightCZ | theadmin: dpkg: *which sendmail* not found. | 15:16 |

| joe_9 | theadmin, that doesn't work either | 15:17 |
| DarkKnightCZ | why the hell is postfix using sendmail? | 15:17 |
| arand | anthony_dev: No. | 15:17 |

| syrinx_ | o/ | 15:18 |
| DirtyDawg | \o | 15:18 |
| anthony_dev | ok, any experience with ubuntu 11.04 on emachines 350? will it work fine and smooth ? | 15:19 |

| Galaxor | I vaguely recall that when I bought my computer, I downloaded the wireless driver from realtek. Probably a bad move, not using some sort of repository. Now I need to update my driver. Should I download from realtek again, or how do I move away from that to using something from a repo? | 15:19 |
| erix | How I can do that? | 15:19 |
| erix | backup* | 15:19 |
| arand | anthony_dev: Some obscure software or hardware may only have 32bit support, therefore 32bit has a minor up when it comes to compatibility. I guess therefore this was choosen to be the default download. | 15:20 |
| syrinx_ | Galaxor: is it a supported driver or did you need to use ndiswrapper? | 15:20 |
| antivirtel | hello! I'm looking for a tool, that shows me what are my optical drives can read/write (eg. DVD+RW, DVD DL....) any software related? | 15:20 |
| theadmin | DarkKnightCZ: It's the "postfix" package, then. | 15:21 |
| anthony_dev | arand thank you | 15:21 |
| panfist | i'm trying to install maverick on an old system (was having problems with natty), and now i'm running into problems with maverick too. i'm just trying to get the system up to date, and it keeps crashing when updating software center | 15:22 |
| compdoc | panfist, might not be the OS | 15:22 |
| Galaxor | syrinx_: There is a linux kernel module. I must've installed the driver in the 9.10 era and then distupgraded to 10.04. According to this, the driver has entered the repo since then. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Realtek%208172 | 15:22 |
| panfist | when i want to remove the software center, it says i have to remove ubuntu-desktop too, and i'm not sure if that's a good thing | 15:22 |
| galerien | panfist, define "old system" please ;) | 15:23 |
| panfist | compdoc: it boots into windows just fine, memory test fine, cpu burn test fine, hard disk test fine | 15:23 |
| panfist | pentium 4 2.4ghz, s3 graphics | 15:23 |
| galerien | panfist, memory ? (ram and hard disk) ? | 15:23 |
| panfist | 256mb ram, 20GB hd | 15:24 |
| fumanchu182 | Within unity I am looking for something to get to the desktop fast, thorugh all the windows are open, had an icon in the last version of gnome is there a button for unity? | 15:24 |
| compdoc | panfist, Ive seen bad hardware boot one OS fine but not another. but that is kinda old | 15:24 |
| panfist | well any test i can think of running, it passed | 15:24 |
| panfist | although i know what you mean | 15:24 |
| compdoc | which version of windows? | 15:24 |
| Roasted | What am I doing wrong? sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.150:/mnt/NAS/jason /media/NFS/ | 15:24 |
| galerien | panfist, ok, that should work, but your ram is really tiny, try the alternate | 15:24 |
| panfist | galerien: i know, if i could find some ddr1 that is reasonably priced, i would buy it | 15:25 |
| towy72 | panfist, I have a slightly less powerful machine than that but more RAM and it works fine | 15:26 |
| galerien | panfist, did you try the alternate | 15:26 |
| compdoc | I have tonnes of ddr - wish I could get rid of it | 15:26 |
| panfist | galerien: no | 15:26 |
| joe_9 | I am using to command "sudo chmod +x arm-eabi-gcc", and yet I am still not able to execute the application afterward. What could be the problem? | 15:26 |
| panfist | i have a feeling its a graphics problem because when i tried to upgrade from a plain console it threw some error about not being able to get a gtk display, and then proceeded with the rest of the package ops just fine | 15:26 |
| schnuffle | Roasted: at least the mount point is missing e.g. sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.150:/mnt/NAS/jason /media/NFS/ /mnt and then it depends on how you export the share on the server | 15:27 |
| panfist | the error was when it reached the software center package | 15:27 |
| Roasted | schmidtm, /media/NFS is the mount point | 15:27 |
| panfist | apparently its ok to remove it along with 'ubuntu-desktop' so i'm trying that. | 15:27 |
| schnuffle | Aaah missed tht space | 15:27 |
| schnuffle | Roasted: how did you expot the share on the nfs server? | 15:28 |
| Roasted | schmidtm, /mnt/NAS/jason it says | 15:28 |
| Galaxor | syrinx_: Oh,never mind. dpkg -S /lib/modules/2.6.32-30-generic/kernel/ubuntu/rtl8192se/r8192se_pci.ko shows that the file is indeed provided by the linux-image-2.6.32-30-generic package. | 15:28 |
| galerien | panfist, alternate cds are supposed to work on low power pcs... so, try it ! | 15:28 |
| jazzyjef | need help with crontab can anyone help me... maverick | 15:28 |
| Roasted | schnuffle, that was to you | 15:28 |
| syrinx_ | Galaxor: :D | 15:28 |
| panfist | galerien: but that's just the installation process, right? i'm already passed that | 15:28 |
| jrib | jazzyjef: you need to be more specific | 15:28 |
| en1gma | i did this command yesterday to find out today i can no longer boot into ubuntu...i can boot into win7 still and it is the default OS but i can no longer boot into ubuntu after i select it in grub | 15:29 |
| en1gma | sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/05_os-prober | 15:29 |
| en1gma | sudo update-grub | 15:29 |
| Galaxor | Dang. Then I don't know how to update my driver. The university here has installed something on their routers that is known to cause problems with my card. I can't connect to the wireless. They said that the latest update from realtek would fix that. | 15:29 |
| galerien | panfist, oh, right, sorry | 15:29 |
| panfist | galerien: the alternate installer doesn't result in a different OS once you are through the install process, does it? like a different kernel or set of services/configuration? | 15:29 |
| en1gma | can someone help me get back into ubuntu | 15:29 |
| jazzyjef | <jrib> i am trying to reload autofs config every three hours, if i do /etc/init.d/autofs reload.... i get the message you service....if i use /sbin/reload autofs it is unable to restart the job | 15:30 |
| galerien | panfist, well, you get more configurations options, for low ram computers for example... | 15:30 |
| jrib | jazzyjef: why do you want to reload autofs every 3 hours? | 15:30 |

| jrib | jazzyjef: I don't see how restarting the service every 3 hours is a real solution | 15:33 |

| llutz | en1gma: yes, mount your ubuntu-/ somewhere and use commands above, change path tothe mountpoint | 15:34 |
| theadmin | Ubuntu packages have a bad habit of installing into /usr/local/ often. | 15:34 |
| ronr_ | schnuffle: so putting tomcat7 in /usr/share wasn't a good idea? :) | 15:34 |
| theadmin | It should, technically, be entirely under user's control | 15:34 |
| en1gma | llutz do i need to do a chroot | 15:35 |
| jrib | jazzyjef: does « sudo service autofs restart » work ok in a shell? | 15:35 |

| Galaxor | Hm. The latext version of the wireless driver provided by Realtek is 0019.1207.2010. How do I check the version number that I have installed? | 15:36 |
| llutz | en1gma: why did you rename os_prober? did you delete 10_linux? | 15:36 |
| kisplit | so I'm ssh'ed into our old and new dev server sitting as root in both. I was doing an rm -rf on a directory in the old server using absolute paths. I was holding my breath and everything, just thought I'd let you all know | 15:36 |

| jazzyjef | Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) | 15:38 |

| jazzyjef | is there an initramfs group | 15:54 |
| ThinkT510 | jazzyjef: check /etc/group | 15:54 |
| Pici | Marezz: Then perhaps you should find a chromium support channel that is distro agnostic, because #ubuntu isn't that plac. | 15:55 |
| MonkeyDust | Marezz: why do you come to #ubuntu? | 15:55 |

| brainAcid | Hi | 15:55 |
| brainAcid | I have been trying to learn text manipulation | 15:55 |
| jazzyjef | no no i meant irc group | 15:55 |
| Marezz | MonkeyDust, Why? Am I not allowed to be here? | 15:55 |
| brainAcid | I have this file with certain pattern | 15:55 |

| en1gma | llutz when i try and boot the cd i am getting "kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10" i dont think this has to do with boot loader anymore...yesterday i updated my mboard bios which i think is causing this now | 15:56 |
| brainAcid | can anyone assist me or point me to the right direction | 15:56 |
| DirtyDawg | maybee ##linux as its not distro specific | 15:56 |
| ThinkT510 | jazzyjef: oh, sorry no idea | 15:56 |
| en1gma | i get that same error if i try and boot ubuntu in recovery mode | 15:56 |
| IdleOne | Mrokii: kill-headshot ZOMBIEPID | 15:56 |
| hmchinh1986 | thanks Onryo | 15:56 |
| Onryo | DirtyDawg Linux is NOT ubuntu. Linux is just the kernel | 15:56 |

| IdleOne | Mrokii: that was a joke :) I don't think you can kill zombie, I could be wrong though | 15:57 |
| Onryo | DirtyDawg most of the cmds that are used in "userland" are GNU. | 15:57 |
| iceroot | Marezz: look with pstree what is the parent-process of the zombie and kill that | 15:57 |
| iceroot | Mrokii: look with pstree what is the parent-process of the zombie and kill that | 15:57 |

| KDEV | @ubottu : in which folder i find those downloaded and install software? | 16:06 |
| Dr_Willis | KDEV: thers no single folder they insatll to.. If you mean the deb cache. thats in /var/archive/cache i think | 16:06 |
| syrinx_ | KDEV: ubottu is a bot... | 16:07 |
| kisplit | Onryo: Thanks, but I'm copying multiple repositories, all with different ownerships, etc :p | 16:07 |
| Onryo | kisplit you have to change it a bit for what you are doing though. I do things the Debian way. The server group is www-data | 16:07 |
| Onryo | kisplit that could be a bit of work =P | 16:07 |
| IdleOne | KDEV: Dr_Willis /var/cache/apt/archives | 16:08 |

| klevison | Dr_Willis: create a partition to instal 11.04 | 16:10 |
| quiescens | kisplit: easiest way is to just use ssh/tar on both sides rather than scp | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | klevison: any of the tools like gparted and so on can do that. | 16:11 |
| klevison | ThinkT510: now .. i`m on live cd.. but i cant create a new partition | 16:11 |

| klevison | Dr_Willis: how can I know If I already have 4 | 16:12 |

| dr3mro | Dr_Willis, no there is not | 16:16 |
| Onryo | kisplit yes that will preserve modes, times etc from the org file. I always use that by mistake since in ssh it is the port =D That might just work for you! | 16:17 |

| dr3mro | help plz there is no option to start gedit without plugins | 16:19 |
| === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 | ||
| quiescens | kisplit: you probably have to use something like ( tar zcf - /directory | ssh user@host.com "tar zxf -" ) if you want to keep ownership and groups properly, rather than just permissions, of course, then you need root level access on both sides and so on | 16:19 |
| firewave | dr3mro, just desactivated it in the option menu | 16:19 |
| dr3mro | firewave ... it won't start in the first place | 16:20 |
| Pici | !away > Aaron5367 | 16:20 |
| ubottu | Aaron5367, please see my private message | 16:20 |
| sven_oostenbrink | Dr_Willis: Got that :) But I was more looking for some simple command line thing since its such a relatively basic thing to do... | 16:20 |
| firewave | dr3mro, how do you know it's plugin fault ? | 16:20 |
| Dr_Willis | sven_oostenbrink: imagemacick or somthing spelt like that for cli ussage | 16:21 |
| firewave | dr3mro, Try remove all gedit prefs | 16:21 |
| Dr_Willis | imagemagick :) | 16:21 |
| dr3mro | firewave .. is not supposed to be a fail safe start gedit way ? | 16:21 |
| KDEV | can i change the DASH to bottom | 16:21 |
| firewave | dr3mro, don't think so, it's so basic.. And never saw it crash.. | 16:22 |
| sven_oostenbrink | Dr_Willis: thanks! | 16:23 |
| Dr_Willis | KDEV: as of now.. you cant that ive ever seen. | 16:23 |
| Dr_Willis | KDEV: the webupd8 blog site has a list of tweaks and so forth for Unity. | 16:24 |
| firewave | dr3mro, you can enable or disable every plugin in the pref file | 16:24 |

| necromancer | my MySQL server on an Ubuntu 8.04 (Joes) VM is failing to start via init.d all of a sudden this morning...what can i do to diagnose/remedy this problem? | 16:25 |
| Snicers-Work2 | First off necromancer you are on a very old version of ubuntu | 16:26 |
| necromancer | haha yes that's true | 16:27 |
| ThinkT510 | Snicers-Work2: 8.04 lts is still supported | 16:27 |
| Tobbi | I just successfully established a VPN connection to my university's VPN. Now, the question is: How do I access the network shares on that machine? | 16:27 |
| necromancer | i believe my boss likes 8 because it was optimized for virtualization | 16:27 |
| Tobbi | *machines | 16:27 |
| KDEV | :-) | 16:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !8.04 | 16:27 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support will end on May 12 2011. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 16:28 |
| Snicers-Work2 | necromancer, are you able to check any logs? | 16:28 |
| Pici | !hardy =~ s/will end/ended/ | 16:28 |
| ubottu | I'll remember that Pici | 16:28 |
| compdoc | optimized for virtualization? | 16:28 |
| Dr_Willis | compdoc: yea.. i was wondering at that statement also.. | 16:28 |
| compdoc | the older it is, the less optimized for virtualization it is | 16:29 |
| Snicers-Work2 | Yeah, it may have been "optimized" at the time, but not as much now. | 16:29 |
| ThinkT510 | Pici: i suppose you need to be authorised to change factoids? | 16:31 |
| Pici | ThinkT510: Yes. :) | 16:31 |
| Pici | ThinkT510: anyone can suggest them though, see http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Adding_a_factoid | 16:32 |

| xxiao_ | is there a way for me to delete some root-owned files in my own home directory? i don't have sudo/root but it's my home dir? | 16:32 |
| xxiao_ | tried fakeroot and it did not help | 16:32 |
| kisplit | Onryo and quiescens: scp -p didn't preserve ownership even when I was root on both ends. time to try quiescens' tar idea | 16:32 |
| Dr_Willis | xxiao_: if the admin goofed up. they could have made some files in your home that are owned by root. | 16:32 |
| xxiao_ | dont know how those files creeped in | 16:33 |
| KM0201 | xxiao_: ask the admin to delete them? | 16:33 |
| ThinkT510 | Pici: thought so, i submitted a change to the !browser factoid because epiphany uses webkit rather than gecko; i don't think my change has been made (or whether older ubuntu releases use older epiphany that still use gecko) | 16:33 |
| necromancer | Snicers-Work2: yeah, where are they? | 16:33 |
| wasikevin | Technoviking, ping | 16:33 |
| xxiao_ | KM0201: yeah but there are a lot files in various places, dealing with admin is usually the last resort | 16:33 |
| necromancer | i'm thinking this is simply a corrupt data issue, since when i left last night it was fine | 16:34 |
| necromancer | so i'm just gonna remake the VM | 16:34 |
| Pici | ThinkT510: I'll take a look, we don't have a good way of checking submitted factoid (yet) though. | 16:34 |
| necromancer | but where does mysql keep its logs on ubuntu? | 16:34 |
| ThinkT510 | Pici: ok, thanks | 16:34 |
| KM0201 | xxiao_: well, if you dont have root or sudo access, i don't know how you'd expect to delete them... there's a way, but i'm not gonna tell you how to circumvent your admin.. as they may be there for a reason | 16:34 |
| Pici | wasikevin: Hes not normally active that much in this channel, you may want to pm him if you need to speak to him. | 16:34 |
| Onryo | kisplit yeah that was that the URL I sent you was about. The script I wrote will automate all that back. There is one way of doing it with umask but it is a pain. | 16:34 |
| wasikevin | Pici, thank you | 16:34 |
| quiescens | kisplit: the tar thing will techically work, just be aware you should use rsync if available or if you plan to do this more than once, ssh+tar is good for a "nothing else needs to be installed" once off solution as long as you have a very stable and fast connection that won't break | 16:35 |
| matyy | Hey, I can't find anything about this anywhere online - did anybody hear of this? Starting the gnome-volume-control (audio settings) immediately starts lots of "gnome-terminal"s- I can stop it by jumping to a terminal and killall -9 gnome-terminal | 16:35 |
| xxiao_ | KM0201: it's my files, mainly some root filesystem experiments | 16:35 |

| MonkeyDust | matyy: do you mean alsamixer in a terminal? | 16:35 |
| KM0201 | xxiao_: then you should have root access, if they are "root" files... a non-root user, can't create root file only access | 16:36 |
| tyler_d | my mic quality is unusable with linphone; I was hoping I might get some help, I'm using a headset with pulse-audio? | 16:36 |
| matyy | MonkeyDust, no the standard volume-control, the one you start when pressing audio preferences/settings over the indicator | 16:36 |
| xxiao_ | KM0201: yeah that's what's wierd, i did not even use fakeroot, some hidden files etc are root-owned | 16:36 |
| matyy | it only happens the first time, than it works normaly (till next restart) | 16:36 |
| lupo | ciao | 16:37 |
| xxiao_ | can I as a normal user, to create root owned files? | 16:37 |
| KM0201 | xxiao_: try right clicking the files, choose properties, then permissions, and see if you can set your user as the owner and give yourself access to them... if you can, just do that, then delete/remove them. | 16:37 |
| kisplit | quiescens: in the tar command piping to ssh do I need to be ssh'ing to root to keep ownership? I've been scp'ing to my user then sudo -i to do the moving around :p | 16:37 |
| kisplit | quiescens: I'll also take a look into rsync | 16:37 |
| KM0201 | xxiao_: i don't see hwo you could.... not saying impossible, but it doesn't make sense that you could create files, that you couldn't access | 16:37 |
| xxiao_ | KM0201: there are a few thousands or more of them :( | 16:37 |

| adam61 | a problem with my memory or cpu speed? i have an amd64 2000MHz almost a Gb of ram.. i was thinking of upgrading the ram to see if that maybe fixes my problem.. also wondering if i should disable compiz, and if so how i should go about that. thanks | 16:38 |

| infobit | BluesKaj, use Ubuntu software center | 16:41 |
| dall | what is this? | 16:41 |
| adam61 | BluesKaj, there's a link now for the 64 bit preview, i'm just thinking it'd be best if i went back to the integrated. | 16:41 |
| DirtyDawg | LinuxMint Debian Edition looks interesting | 16:41 |
| DirtyDawg | sry wrong chan :o | 16:41 |
| adam61 | ThinkT510: i've tried that; not for a while though.. do you think that'd be better than chrome? i originally switched from chromium to chrome for the same reason | 16:41 |
| ThinkT510 | adam61: same reason? | 16:42 |
| adam61 | problems with flash | 16:42 |
| adam61 | i was advised to go to chrome | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | adam61: if you use 64bit OS, try the 64bit flash | 16:42 |
| ThinkT510 | adam61: it works fine for me, and thats with nvidia drivers too | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj | adam61, I have 64 bit , and the default flash works well for me , but you can always try HTML5 option on youtube ...to get the default flash just install flashplgin-installer | 16:43 |
| adam61 | ActionParsnip: ya, that's what i figured too, but that's what i have now and the sound fizzles out after about five seconds | 16:43 |
| tpe | Is there any way at all to make the wiggle or blink notification animation on the Unity launcher icons permanently active until clicked? As it is, a notification from, for example, Pidgin, is very hard to notice if I wasn't looking at the screen when it happened (and even then it's not great). | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj | flsahplugin-installer , adam61 | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | adam61: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* then close all browser and restart them | 16:43 |

| ActionParsnip | Moopz: chown it to your user if you are not the owner | 16:44 |

| adam61 | BluesKaj, k thanks, i know about that already | 16:44 |
| adam61 | ActionParsnip: k i'll try that | 16:44 |
| adam61 | ActionParsnip: will that remove pulseaudio? | 16:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Everytime ive seen someone try to remove pulseaudio, they tend to be back the next day doing a reinstall. :) | 16:45 |
| pitsaki | hello | 16:46 |
| adam61 | ActionParsnip: i very much want to remove pulse but i tried that a couple times over the last few days and had to reinstall ubuntu after doing so both times | 16:46 |

| pitsaki | thers nobody on make a channel name | 16:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Moopz: learn how permissins work. I rarely have issues with them. | 16:56 |
| genii-around | pitsaki: Thats because you just created it new | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | pitsaki: beause you just made the channel... | 16:56 |
| helpme_ | any KM0210 here? | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Moopz: you only need access to home, you can use sudo and gksudo to get admin access when you need it | 16:56 |
| qin | Moopz: Use centOs (You will suddenly start loving Ubuntu) | 16:56 |
| ActionParsnip | qin: or gentoo ;) | 16:56 |

| Dr_Willis | pitsaki: you need to be a bit more clear in what you are asking. | 16:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Moopz: chowning from the root folder down will make your OS not work | 16:57 |

| ActionParsnip | dall: there is also nmcli | 16:59 |
| qin | dall: Or wicd (also cli) | 16:59 |

| amd64 | is there a way to send data from a program like hwinfo into a text file so it can more easily and leisurely be read? | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | anthony_dev: the installer asks for a initial user and password yes. | 17:01 |
| dall | Dr_Willis, i found http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/14/connect-to-a-wireless-network-via-command-line/ i think i can connect with a command | 17:01 |
| adam61 | ActionParsnip: didn't seem to work, but now the video doesn't play in flash either. do you know how i'd go about enabling the integrated version? the link for that on their site doesn't say how to go about doing that, they just say it happens automatically, which for me according to about:plugins hasn't happened | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | amd64: command > foo.txt | 17:01 |
| ActionParsnip | insanity99: the fact it can run games in windows is moot, the driver architecture in windows is completely different to Linux. | 17:02 |
| adbuntu | Is there any way to get rhythmbox to play .pls (internet radio streams)??? | 17:02 |
| amd64 | Dr_Willis, thank you! | 17:02 |
| adbuntu | It seems to not know what to do with them. | 17:02 |
| Dr_Willis | amd64: check out bash 'redirection' for more neat tricks | 17:02 |
| insanity99 | ActionParsnip, its an intel HD card, just integrated | 17:02 |
| arand | amd64: Alternatively redirect to a pager, like "hwinfo | less" | 17:02 |
| qin | adbuntu: cvlc <your>.pls (neat way to do it) | 17:02 |
| amd64 | arand, ill check that out. | 17:03 |
| Roasted_ | 685mb... is that the size of 11.04 32 bit? | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | insanity99: that may be why, you may need an xorg.conf to setup better settings, or you could try the xorg edgers ppa to get a later driver | 17:03 |
| insanity99 | ActionParsnip, not really moot, people where saying it was because its a weak card, but its not as weak as they were saying | 17:03 |
| pitsaki_ | i am back | 17:03 |
| arand | Roasted_: The iso, possibly, not the installed system though, check with !md5sum | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | insanity99: it may be weak under Linux, the drivers are different. You can get full 3D using chips like SiS under Windows but only get 2D under Linux | 17:03 |
| adbuntu | qin, is that a terminal command? | 17:04 |
| Roasted_ | arand, it just seemed small to me | 17:04 |
| qin | adbuntu: yes | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | insanity99: different support, different performance | 17:04 |
| Roasted_ | arand, and I cant find the md5's on the ubuntu site to compare | 17:04 |
| insanity99 | ActionParsnip, not sure how i would do that, im new to linux | 17:04 |
| arand | !md5sum | Roasted_ | 17:04 |
| ubottu | Roasted_: 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 | 17:04 |
| pitsaki | lol, using getid i make my own operating system!!! | 17:04 |
| Roasted_ | arand, I know. | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | insanity99: nobody is born knowing, go research the file or find the ppa | 17:04 |
| Roasted_ | arand, but I can't find them on the UBUNTU SITE to compare them. | 17:04 |
| adbuntu | oh that's VLC, though | 17:04 |
| adbuntu | I wanted to use rhythmbox because I have a plugin to show what I'm playing on Skype. | 17:05 |
| pitsaki | its called billos | 17:05 |
| adbuntu | Oh well. | 17:05 |
| adbuntu | I don't think it's possible. | 17:05 |
| pitsaki | /home/pitsaki/BillOS | 17:05 |
| insanity99 | ActionParsnip, ok i'll take a look | 17:05 |
| qin | adbuntu: Possible by menu>file>open... | 17:05 |
| pitsaki | lol, ubuntu have any viruses? | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !av | 17:05 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 17:05 |

| g0bl1n | wow, on Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.10 the Workspace Switcher was much more awesome than Unity 11.04. It ordered all the windows. Can't Unity do that ?? :-( | 17:06 |
| Roasted_ | arand, we're not on the same page. | 17:06 |
| Roasted_ | arand, I know how to find the md5 sum. But I cannot find the md5 on the site prior to downloading. | 17:06 |
| Dr_Willis | g0bl1n: theres some other woarkspace switcher indicator-applets out there you can try | 17:06 |
| arand | Roasted_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 17:06 |
| Roasted_ | arand, the purpose of md5 is to compare. You compare it to what it should be versus what you have. I know how to get what I have when it's downloaded. But I cannot find the md5 posted on the ubuntu site for that comparison to take place. | 17:06 |
| Roasted_ | arand, please read what I'm saying... | 17:07 |
| adam61 | does anyone know how to enable the integrated flash on chrome? it says it does it automatically but about:plugins only lists the nonintegrated one for me | 17:07 |
| puck_cent | /part | 17:07 |
| adbuntu | qin I'll give it a shot, but I don't think you're right. | 17:07 |
| xrdodrx | Roasted, , which md5 do you need? | 17:07 |
| g0bl1n | Dr_Willis, which ? From the repos ? | 17:07 |
| OerHeks | Roasted, please read what arand is giving you >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM you will find the md5sums @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 17:08 |
| ActionParsnip | pitsaki: we can' see that as it is on your system, use imageshack or similar | 17:08 |
| ActionParsnip | !hashes | Roasted_ | 17:08 |
| ubottu | Roasted_: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 17:08 |
| qin | adbuntu: Last time i have used rythbox was almost last millenium. | 17:08 |
| Roasted_ | my apologies arand | 17:08 |
| Roasted_ | I see that now | 17:08 |
| tuggle | hi, somehow my acpid doesn't work correctly. I want it to execute the events in /etc/acpi/ and I am sure that everything is configure correctly in there. Any suggestion what it could be? acpi_listen works as expected | 17:09 |
| arand | Roasted_: No worries :) | 17:09 |
| adbuntu | Yeah, google tells me you can't really do internet radio streams in rhythmbox. If I can find a better player that works with skype and IRC, I'll see. | 17:09 |
| pitsaki | just i give you bill os | 17:09 |
| qin | adbuntu: mpd have some plugins for irc (dunno skype) | 17:10 |
| tiox | Hey guys, I was wondoering if there was an easy way to make any window skip the taskbar and run maximized. | 17:10 |
| adam61 | everyone has gotten flash working with no problems? no one has any ideas on how to fix this? | 17:10 |
| OerHeks | adbuntu, look for .m3u or .pls for streams in rhythmbox, it works for me, press ctrl + i ... | 17:10 |
| tiox | You know, without shantz-xwinwrap... or maybe with xwinwrap... | 17:10 |
| Darael | tiox: Devilspie, configured with gdevilspie? Not sure off the top of my head if it does skip-taskbar, but I think it does. | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | adam61, i'm not stright on your problem , both audio and video not working on youtube ? | 17:11 |
| adbuntu | I'm using .pls, OerHeks | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | tiox: some apps have switches to run mximized. You can instal devilspie and grab gdevilspie from googlecode, you can then tell apps how to load and such when they load | 17:11 |
| Darael | ActionParsnip: gdevlispie is in the repos in Natty, at least. | 17:12 |
| tiox | Hmmm... I'll look into that. | 17:12 |
| tiox | I also wanted to load without decoration. Any way I can do that? | 17:12 |
| adam61 | BluesKaj, ya, it was just audio but now video isn't working either. i would like to try re-enabling the integrated flashplayer on chrome but i don't know how | 17:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Darael: is it? | 17:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !info gdevilspie | 17:12 |
| Roasted_ | How can I create blank files that are taking up 5mb of space each? Also, is there a way to do it and create several hundred of then, naming them concurrently as copy 1 copy 2 etc? | 17:12 |

| ActionParsnip | yay | 17:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: use of the dd command and a little bash scripting can do that. | 17:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted_: http://markus.revti.com/2007/06/creating-empty-file-with-specified-size/ | 17:13 |
| adbuntu | THe control + i think SHOULD work. | 17:13 |
| Roasted_ | ActionParsnip, thanks bro | 17:13 |
| llutz | Roasted_: dd if=dev/zero of=file bs=5M count=1 write a loop around | 17:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted_: all I did was websearch..... | 17:13 |
| tiox | Thanks, I'll grab them and investigate. | 17:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted_: did you not try researching before asking.. | 17:14 |
| Roasted_ | ActionParsnip, well my curiosity isn't so much creating the empty file, but being able to create exactly 620 of them | 17:14 |
| Roasted_ | ActionParsnip, as opposed to CTRL V, CTRL V, CTRL V, CTRL V | 17:14 |
| adbuntu | Can I upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 with relative ease? | 17:14 |
| * S74rk7 is away: Gone away for now | 17:14 | |
| adbuntu | Or is it not worth it | 17:14 |
| adbuntu | should I just do a fresh install | 17:14 |
| multipass | 11.04 is kinda messy. | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted_: you will need a bash scipt with an incrementing number to use with the filename | 17:15 |
| llutz | Roasted_: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-while-loop/ | 17:15 |
| adbuntu | Messy? | 17:15 |
| adbuntu | I was looking forward to the new GUI | 17:15 |
| OerHeks | adbuntu, 10.04 > 10.10 > 11.04 | 17:15 |
| BluesKaj | adam61, in the chrome addressbar about:plugins , enable flash | 17:15 |
| multipass | i tried to switch to it, but too many things were messed up for me | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | adbuntu: you will need to upgrade to maverick (10.10) first | 17:15 |
| === jackneill is now known as Jackneill | ||
| multipass | im back on 10.10 and happy again | 17:15 |
| adbuntu | I'm a big fan of the Windows 7 taskbar | 17:15 |
| adbuntu | and I heard 11.04 has something similar | 17:15 |
| multipass | go ahead and try it, but keep ur older install of 10.04 | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | adbuntu: there is dockbarx which is similar | 17:15 |
| anthony_dev | multipass which things? | 17:15 |
| Darael | Roasted_: Use "for i in `seq 620`; do <command-or-set-of-commands-here-involving-$i-in-filename>; done" | 17:16 |
| TheeSaga | You can get a dock that resembles windows 7 on previous versions. | 17:16 |
| riktking | lol, i only have a virt k/b on my desire | 17:16 |
| adam61 | BluesKaj, i've done that, but the only one that's listed is the one that i downloaded separately, the 64 bit version. it doesn't list the one i want to enable for some strange reason. i even reinstalled chrome, but nothing | 17:16 |
| * anthony_dev is new user to ubuntu. planing to run mysql/php/apache/j2me env. | 17:16 | |
| adbuntu | TheeSaga, you mean CairoDOck? | 17:16 |
| Roasted_ | Darael, you lost me a bit. I can just put within the main command itself to do 620 without scripting it to loop? | 17:16 |
| multipass | anthony_dev: somethign with xorg was seriouslly messed up, dual monitor desktop environemnts were crippled, also ati drivers were mostly broken out of the box, edge flipping dosnt work | 17:16 |
| TheeSaga | Yes CairoDock works, I personally use Docky. | 17:16 |
| multipass | ive come to like docky the best of al | 17:17 |
| ActionParsnip | adbuntu: http://i35.tinypic.com/20sd7bd.jpg <- Dockbarx | 17:17 |

| Roasted_ | llutz, nice... thanks | 17:18 |
| adbuntu | I guess it is. | 17:18 |
| llutz | Roasted_: or bs=1024k count=5 | 17:18 |
| Roasted_ | llutz, including "for i in" in that command I take it? | 17:18 |
| Roasted_ | llutz, that beginning part didnt strike me as part of a command so I had to ask to make sure | 17:18 |
| adbuntu | Are there any good applications to take advantage of compiz and totally revamp the look of Ubuntu 10.04? | 17:18 |

| Roasted_ | thanks llutz + Dr_Willis | 17:20 |
| llutz | Roasted_: btw, did you find your ultimate backup-solution? ;) | 17:21 |
| Roasted_ | llutz, No. the hunt is on. In fact, I'm testing out a potential bug right now. If you're interested in hearing some craziness I could PM ya about it. | 17:21 |
| Darael | seba_: Assuming you mean drop to a tty, or use a different tty, do ctl+alt+f{1,2,3,4,5,6}. ctl+alt+f7 usually gets you back to the GUI. Sometimes it;s F8. | 17:21 |
| seba_ | thank you | 17:23 |
| Carl892 | I have a problem, this server has two partitions (/dev/sda1 and /dev/sda6) which are mounted as / and /data respectively. The problem is the sda1 has only 10 MB free, while sda6 has over 100 GB free. I want to give some of sda6's space to sda1.. how can I do that? | 17:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Carl892: one is a primary, other is a logical. that may make it harder to do. You COULD just move some stuff from / to sda6 and set up a link to point to the new location. | 17:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Carl892: try: sudo apt-get clean | 17:26 |
| === sskceg is now known as kumar | ||

| zaksoldier | Hi all | 17:40 |
| mdel_ | my cdrom on my dell wont boot | 17:41 |

| mdel_ | no matter what I do to the bios | 17:41 |
| mdel_ | so I need to install from a bootable partition | 17:41 |
| alesan | I could delete the files but maybe there is a better way, I do not know | 17:41 |
| xrdodrx | alesan, I do know how, remove the ttf-ubuntu-font-family package. | 17:41 |

| xrdodrx | ThinkT510, that's what I wanted to know lol | 17:42 |
| alesan | damn it also wants to remove several other packages | 17:42 |
| xrdodrx | alesan, which are? | 17:42 |
| alesan | ThinkT510, xrdodrx to avoid "accidental" come back of that font | 17:42 |
| ThinkT510 | xrdodrx: i thought i'd rephrase it for him | 17:43 |
| alesan | and to avoid having to change possibly several other packages | 17:43 |
| alesan | sorry | 17:43 |
| xrdodrx | alesan, "accidental comeback"? | 17:43 |
| alesan | programs I mean | 17:43 |
| xrdodrx | um, I don't really understand | 17:43 |
| rhizmoe | i hate to ask an "ne1" question, but there has to be something better than gwibber. please tell me it. | 17:43 |
| alesan | xrdodrx, Kubuntu-desktop, Kubuntu-default-settings | 17:43 |
| xrdodrx | if you change to say dejavu sans it shouldn't ever come back unless you change it back | 17:43 |

| Cube`` | hey, how do i compress something using "zip" on the command line | 17:44 |
| xrdodrx | alesan, "meta packages", they aren't actually anything | 17:44 |
| Cube`` | just like zip *? | 17:44 |
| alesan | xrdodrx, so why I did not have this font before, and after the upgrade many programs use it? | 17:44 |
| Cube`` | or like zip <filename.zip> *? | 17:44 |
| alesan | I used thunderbird until this afternoon, now I open it and it uses this font too | 17:44 |
| adam61 | nobody? | 17:44 |
| xrdodrx | alesan, because Canonical designed the Ubuntu font family and incorporated it into the system. | 17:44 |
| alesan | ThinkT510, where do I change that? | 17:44 |
| alesan | xrdodrx, that is not new in 11.04 | 17:44 |
| sburwood1 | ThinkT510: I think I made it an ext4 filesystem. I used gparted that I had installed in my 11.04 that is on this computer | 17:44 |
| rhizmoe | adam61: i see nothing else from you but the one-word question, "nobody?" | 17:45 |
| ThinkT510 | alesan: not sure sorry | 17:45 |
| gribouille | what does the following error message mean : dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot read files list file: No such file or directory ? | 17:45 |
| xrdodrx | alesan, It's safe to remove kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-default-settings packages, that would happen any time you remove a default component of the system. | 17:45 |
| alesan | I will just delete the ttf files then, I've already wasted too much time on this | 17:45 |
| xrdodrx | alesan, that's probably not smart | 17:45 |
| mdel_ | any ideas??? | 17:45 |
| alesan | :( | 17:46 |
| alesan | thanks anyway | 17:46 |
| xrdodrx | alesan, I don't use KDE, but go into appearance settings. | 17:46 |
| xrdodrx | There's a way to change the font, I'm sure. | 17:46 |

| adam61 | rhizmoe: that's very true.. a good point i guess haha | 17:48 |
| rhizmoe | adam61: i'm no expert, but i'd say 64bit flash on 11 is an advanced topic | 17:50 |
| adam61 | rhizmoe: ya, my flash wasn't working, so i just tried the 64 bit, and it didn't work either, but now i can't find the integrated one. i've reinstalled chrome even | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: i think thres some beta-experimental xbmc ppa needed for 11.04 | 17:51 |

| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: i got it working here on one of my machines.. i forget which one. | 17:51 |
| xrdodrx | adam61, it may be worth looking into to install a 32-bit ubuntu | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | I find my video reencoding is faster on 64bit. :) | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | but i rarely have flash issues in 64bit linux either. mustbe i just dont use flash a lot. | 17:52 |

| kostodo | s3r3n1t7: and what exactly is bundled with lamp-server? | 18:13 |
| s3r3n1t7 | kostodo, tasksel also does a few sanity checks, and uses apt-get as it's backend. I'm not sure exactly which packages it installs along, but i'm sure it's written down somewhere | 18:13 |

| Taev | it says if i continue i may not be able to boot | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | LAcan: then you need the proper options in fstab for allowing other users to acces it the ntfs-3g homepage/faq will have some examples. | 18:15 |
| Abhijit | ubuntu, that i know. i wanted to know if after doing that can we see major decrease on system resource uses? | 18:15 |
| Taev | but i can't go back the only option is "forward" | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | LAcan: umask, or uid/gid are commonly used. | 18:15 |
| Abhijit | because lxde is light wight | 18:15 |
| LAcan | Dr_Willis, can i tell fstab to chown it? | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | LAcan: you can also try the ntfs-config tool. to set it | 18:15 |

| adam61 | does anyone know if my 2000MHz and 1Gb ram are just not enough to run flash in 64bit ubuntu 11.04? if that's the case, could i get away with it if i disable compiz and add a lot of ram? | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis | adam61: ive seen people with flash issues with much higher end machines. | 18:22 |
| Dr_Willis | adam61: or run it good on lower end machines. | 18:22 |
| Dr_Willis | adam61: disable compiz is trivial to do to test it. you may want to try a lighter desktop | 18:22 |

| ActionParsnip | adam61: tried the 64bit plugin? | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | adam61: if you do then you will need to remove all other flash plugins or it will conflict | 18:26 |
| * jiltdil i have n oissue with flash in 64bit yet | 18:26 | |

| kostodo | s3r3n1t7: would i need to install something to get php's mail() to work? | 18:27 |
| Dr_Willis | adam61: is your flash issue just no sound? or other issues? | 18:27 |
| s3r3n1t7 | kostodo, i'd suggest trying that out with a simpel script to test it | 18:27 |

| guedressel | since my harddisk is not ssd my computer freezes often | 19:02 |
| Onions | I have finally been using ubuntu for a year :D | 19:02 |
| quiescens | guedressel: and is any of the swap that is being allocated actually being swapped in? | 19:02 |
| BluesKaj | !fsrunner | 19:02 |
| KM0201 | Onions: congrats! | 19:02 |
| bibliotheque | guys, i m trying to get xbmc working, no way. i sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa | 19:03 |
| bibliotheque | and sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa as well | 19:03 |
| bibliotheque | some files failed to load with sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install xbmc says Unable to locate package xbmc... | 19:03 |
| guedressel | quiescens: every time when i shut down the screensaver or standby it needs about five minutes to get "usable" again | 19:03 |
| BluesKaj | !info fsrunner | 19:03 |
| ubottu | Package fsrunner does not exist in natty | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: i think you only want run of those. | 19:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: and you DO a 'sudo apt-get update' after adding new repos.. | 19:03 |
| guedressel | while i'm in a session infront of the machine the speed is okay - swap shows full and hdd ist often busy anyways | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: let me boot my other box and see what repo im using there. | 19:04 |
| bibliotheque | Dr_Willis: well. i did that. though errors appeared | 19:04 |
| Onions | KM0201, yeah, so long it has been great | 19:04 |
| bibliotheque | ok thanks | 19:04 |
| guedressel | is firefox 4 the bad guy? the new xfce? | 19:04 |
| guedressel | or something in ubuntu core? | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: last i looked there was a testing (svn?) repo that had the version for 11.04 the older ppa/version dident work | 19:04 |
| Onions | KM0201, the forums have been really useful. and i have learned a lot of stuff about how Os actually work | 19:04 |
| KM0201 | Onions: wel, i imagine at a year, you're probably through most newb problems, and since you stuck w/ it, you realized its not that difficult | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | guedressel: try a differnt browser and see? | 19:04 |
| Dr_Willis | guedressel: couldbe flash or ff. or other memory leaks | 19:05 |
| KM0201 | Onions: did you dump windows, or are you still dual booting? | 19:05 |
| bibliotheque | Dr_Willis: so i should go for the svn one? | 19:05 |
| Onions | KM0201, I dumped windows in my desktop; but i have some weird problems with my netbook. I dont know how to "see" the bootloader unless I have a dual boot setup | 19:06 |
| KM0201 | Onions: thats in the grub2 configuration... you just need to comment out a line | 19:06 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: im using a 'team-xbmc-unstable' repo. | 19:06 |
| bibliotheque | Dr_Willis: a lot of 404 not found errors... | 19:06 |
| Onions | KM0201, and i have to run some commands to make it boot. | 19:07 |
| KM0201 | Onions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 19:07 |
| bibliotheque | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-unstable/ppa then? | 19:07 |
| Onions | KM0201, can you change it from the live cd?, i mean, like when you first install the Os? | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | willis@Cow:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/team-xbmc-unstable-natty.list | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu natty main | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | 19:07 | |
| KM0201 | Onions: scroll down to the "Grub hidden by default" and follow the instructions to enable/disable it (by commenting it out w/ the # sign)... | 19:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Thats what i am using on my 11.04 box | 19:08 |
| bibliotheque | Dr_Willis: in /etc/sources? | 19:08 |
| KM0201 | Onions: from the live cd.. don't think so, you'd prolly have to do it on your first boot. | 19:08 |
| bibliotheque | ok ok | 19:08 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: i gave the full path tot he file. :) | 19:08 |
| bibliotheque | yup thanks | 19:08 |
| Onions | KM0201, yeah, the problem is that i need to run some commands on the first boot | 19:08 |
| Dr_Willis | note the 'unstable' nature. :) could be the other repos will eventually work. | 19:08 |
| KM0201 | Onions: i believe if you hold Shift, while it boots, it will display grub... or are you talking about when you're booting a live USB? | 19:09 |
| bibliotheque | Dr_Willis: so I touch the file you gave me, write the line you put here too, and apt-get update? | 19:09 |
| Onions | KM0201, I mean after the os is installed, i will try that | 19:09 |
| KM0201 | ok. | 19:09 |
| jan_ | hello!! | 19:10 |
| Onions | KM0201, i think it is related to my hardware, most distros doesnt even boot from the live cd | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: yes. | 19:10 |
| KM0201 | Onions: dunno, my netbook boots every distro i've tried off the usb, no prob.. which one do you have> | 19:10 |
| bibliotheque | great, i m updating tree | 19:10 |
| Onions | KM0201, (nice tutorial) | 19:10 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: and disable the other xbmc repos you got enabled. | 19:11 |
| bibliotheque | thank you | 19:11 |
| bibliotheque | oh, how? | 19:11 |
| Dr_Willis | how did you add them? | 19:11 |
| bibliotheque | sudo add-apt-repository.... | 19:11 |
| Onions | KM0201, its a compaq mini cq 10 | 19:11 |
| Dr_Willis | software center, and synaoptic can remove them.. no idea if theres a remove-apt-repoistory command or not. | 19:11 |
| bibliotheque | there is not sudo del-apt-repository | 19:11 |
| Onions | KM0201, it was on sale :D | 19:11 |
| KM0201 | hmm, no experience w/ the compaqs... i've set up several aspire ones.. w/o issue. | 19:11 |
| bibliotheque | ok | 19:11 |
| Dr_Willis | or delkete the file in /etc/apt/sources.d same where you are making that new one | 19:11 |
| bibliotheque | Dr_Willis: i ll delete the file, cause i m in kubuntu... | 19:12 |
| KM0201 | Onions: 3rd paragraph under grub vs grub2... Hold down SHIFT to display the menu during boot (formerly ESC in GRUB legacy). | 19:12 |
| Onions | KM0201, yeah my dad has an acer. They work flawless with ubuntu | 19:12 |
| _cory | sql | 19:12 |
| Onions | KM0201, ok thanks | 19:12 |
| KM0201 | Onions: then once it boots, you can set it to "unhide" by default. | 19:13 |
| vindice | listing the contents of a directory in gnome terminal, some of the jpg files display in green text, some in purple/mauve text. Why is this? | 19:13 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: theres been like 3 people today asking about XBMC :) I got that repo from i think the webupd8 blog site. | 19:13 |
| Onions | KM0201, nice | 19:13 |
| Dr_Willis | vindice: some may be 'executable' by mistake | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | bibliotheque: to remove a ppa use ppa-purge | 19:13 |
| guedressel | Dr_Willis, quiescens: why could a application want to use swap when there is loads of memory left? | 19:13 |
| guedressel | what kind of improvement ist that? | 19:13 |
| vindice | Dr_Willis: thanks, wonder how that happened | 19:13 |
| Dr_Willis | guedressel: if theres a memory leak.. its sucking down more and more ram.. till it hits swap.. i guess | 19:14 |
| bibliotheque | ActionParsnip: thanks, but too late, i rm the files :) | 19:14 |
| Glycan | Hello | 19:14 |
| Dr_Willis | vindice: copying things from ntfs/vfat filesystmes - often does it. | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | bibliotheque: that works too, you can use software centre to do the same (if you are using a desktop OS) | 19:14 |
| guedressel | Dr_Willis: my ram is filled only to a third | 19:14 |
| guedressel | or even less | 19:14 |
| gribouille | UBUNTU IS SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT | 19:14 |
| quiescens | guedressel: the idea is usually to page out unused memory to use it for i/o caching | 19:14 |
| Dr_Willis | gribouille: demand a refund.. have a nice day. | 19:14 |
| rww | gribouille: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, not silliness like that. | 19:14 |
| IdleOne | !language > gribouille | 19:14 |
| ubottu | gribouille, please see my private message | 19:14 |
| vindice | Dr_Willis: does green mean executable? | 19:14 |
| Dr_Willis | vindice: no idea. does ls -l show its excutable/ | 19:15 |
| Onions | KM0201, do you know if there is a website with compatible hardware? I want to get a new computer and i dont want to make sure everithing works | 19:15 |
| Glycan | Is anyone free to help me? From experiance, just asking things in this channal that take more than one minute does not work. | 19:15 |
| Dr_Willis | if so.. chmod -x it.. and see if it changew color. | 19:15 |
| quiescens | guedressel: if you want to have a look at processes with a large number of swap-in's, you can try ps -eo pid,maj_flt,cmd | 19:15 |
| KM0201 | !hardware | Onions | 19:15 |
| ubottu | Onions: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 19:15 |
| Glycan | Except maybe if you ping most of the active users. | 19:15 |
| vindice | Dr_Willis: sorry, I did ls -l even as you wrote it | 19:15 |
| vindice | Dr_Willis: and you're right | 19:15 |
| kisplit | Installing postfix. Can I just proceed with No configuration and then copy the /etc/postfix directory from backup machine? | 19:15 |
| guedressel | quiescens: thanks - thats a hint. | 19:15 |
| vindice | thanks | 19:15 |
| corey_ | i got it | 19:15 |
| Pici | Glycan: Don't ask to ask, just ask. If anyone knows they're reply, thats how it works. | 19:15 |
| Glycan | So does anyone have some time? | 19:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Onions: best bet is to not buy the 'just came out yesterday' machine.. get one that has been out for a few months. :) | 19:15 |
| Pici | s/they're/they'll/ | 19:16 |
| Glycan | Pici: nO, THEY WON'T. | 19:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Onions: with Laptops this is even more true. | 19:16 |
| KM0201 | Glycan: well at least state your problem. | 19:16 |
| Glycan | Opps, caps lock | 19:16 |
| IdleOne | Glycan: ask | 19:16 |
| Glycan | It won't work. :p | 19:16 |
| Pici | Glycan: Why not just ask and find out? | 19:16 |

| Dr_Willis | this is what pastebin is good for. :) | 19:16 |
| Onions | Dr_Willis, and what about video cards?, are nvidia cards as reliable as they say? | 19:17 |
| KM0201 | lol | 19:17 |
| anthony_dev | guys, I cant use LAMP server on ubuntu 11.04? (not server ed.) | 19:17 |
| [TK]D-Fender | anthony_dev: Is that a question? | 19:17 |
| Voziv | Hello, I'm using 10.04 server, and I'm getting an error that I'm missing libmysqlclient.so.15 In /usr/lib I find a libmysqlclient.so.16 but no .15. I cannot find a package to install the older lib.. any ideas? | 19:17 |
| KM0201 | Onions: i've had zero issues w/ nvidia cards (dual screens, 3D, etc..) ATI.. meh, i've had issues.. i'd always recommend nvidia, over ati. | 19:17 |
| anthony_dev | [TK]D-Fender yes, and my terrible english | 19:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Onions: i go 'Nvidia' 'Intel' then .. ati as a last resort.. TOTALLY avoid SIS.. | 19:17 |
| quiescens | guedressel: maj_flt should tell you how many memory pages a given process has tried to access which have actually required a swap read | 19:17 |
| * KM0201 agrees | 19:17 | |
| [TK]D-Fender | anyAny linux can run run Apache like any other | 19:18 |
| [TK]D-Fender | anthony_dev: Any linux can run run Apache like any other | 19:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Onions: and yes. i had to look around a bit to find a Laptop I liked with nvidia in it.. | 19:18 |
| [TK]D-Fender | wow... typing degrading fast | 19:18 |
| Onions | KM0201, i have an ati radeon 9200, it doesnt work as good as it worked with the other Os | 19:18 |
| quiescens | guedressel: if there aren't any processes with a high number for that field then i don't know where else you would want to look | 19:18 |
| Onions | KM0201, but it is an old machine aniway | 19:18 |
| skybox | Hello, friends. Is there anyway to remove or hide the windows partitions I have from the 'Places' pane? | 19:19 |
| KM0201 | Onions: i had a ton of probs w/ the ATI 95xx.. i eventually gave up and bought an Nvidia.. :) (this was a long time ago obviously) | 19:19 |
| bibliotheque | Dr_Willis: ... failed | 19:19 |
| anthony_dev | [TK]D-Fender I understand that, but as I see lamp server already configured. so I tought there is already something to get a fast start to test php pages on ubuntu | 19:19 |
| guedressel | 15741 77943 /usr/lib/firefox-4.0.1/firefox-bin | 19:19 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: you did remove others.. then updated.. then tried to install it? | 19:19 |
| guedressel | quiescens: is 77943 high? | 19:19 |
| guedressel | (highest in the listing) | 19:19 |
| [TK]D-Fender | anthony_dev: There is no "fast start" to making a web page,. You just go make it | 19:19 |
| KM0201 | Onions: honestly, i've taken to just buildin my own stuff rather than buying, but laptops.. for me.. i look for either nvidia/intel graphics, and intel or atheros wireless devices.. you're usually safe w/ those things... the rest is all gravy | 19:20 |
| [TK]D-Fender | anthony_dev: Have yuo confirmed that Apache is currently running? | 19:20 |
| Pici | !lamp | anthony_dev | 19:20 |
| ubottu | anthony_dev: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 19:20 |
| bibliotheque | E: Unable to locate package xbmc | 19:20 |
| bibliotheque | yes... | 19:20 |
| bibliotheque | Dr_Willis: i did... | 19:20 |
| quiescens | guedressel: yes | 19:20 |
| guedressel | quiescens: wrong. /usr/bin/X is hightes: 181223 | 19:20 |
| Glycan | I had/have a win laptop with vista on it. I put ubuntu on it, in a 5gb compart, since there wasn't a lot of space (turn there was a unused compart with 100gb in it. Silly me, at that point). I deleted /host/windows/*.*, becouse I didn't quite understand how partits worked. (Opps. comart/parit = partition). Previously,it would load a widnows bootloader, from which I could choose what, in hidsight, | 19:20 |
| Glycan | seems to be grub. With no bootloader, nothing works. Can't do the textbook instuctions due to lack of working liveUSB. I've tryed ~10 times with cds and usbs, did checksums, to no avail. | 19:20 |
| Glycan | From windows, using unetbootin, and others. | 19:21 |
| berefeira | wtf, natty session quits spontaneously and restarts at login screen | 19:21 |
| Onions | KM0201, ok thanks | 19:21 |
| guedressel | quiescens: maybe Xorg issue (driver or something?) | 19:21 |
| Dr_Willis | apt-cache search xbmc ---> xbmc - XBMC Media Center (arch-independent data package) | 19:21 |
| LAcan | Glycan, download ultimate boot cd and see if u can rescur your partitions | 19:21 |
| Glycan | rescur? | 19:21 |
| Glycan | All I need is a proper live, then I can do the thingy for recovering ubuntu | 19:22 |
| Voziv | anyone? libmysqlclient.so.15 on ubuntu 10.04? | 19:22 |
| Glycan | RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 19:22 |
| quiescens | guedressel: you will also need to find out how much ram they are using, but if you have free memory they shouldn't be getting swapped out that much | 19:22 |
| Onions | Glycan, try with puppy linux, or with parted magic | 19:22 |
| Glycan | ? | 19:23 |
| Jordan_U | Glycan: Why can't you use a CD? | 19:23 |
| Glycan | My CD drives are broken | 19:23 |
| askhader | So which retarded Ubuntu developer's idea was it to hide the menu that will allow you to disable desktop effects? | 19:23 |
| quiescens | guedressel: is your standby set to prepare for hibernation? | 19:23 |
| Glycan | I did try burning it from other people comps. Didn;t work. | 19:23 |
| thr01 | cant desable cos unity requires compiz | 19:23 |
| Glycan | Also, all I had were -r, so I used up a hell lotta of those, too. | 19:24 |
| thr01 | askhader --> u cant use unity without those effects switched on | 19:24 |
| thr01 | because it relies on compiz | 19:24 |
| Glycan | Er, but I don't knoiw how to use those. | 19:24 |
| Glycan | Er. | 19:24 |
| bibliotheque | Dr_Willis: ... no... apt-cache search doesn t list such... | 19:25 |
| quiescens | guedressel: for the record, both of the numbers are what could be considered "high", my maj_flt for an X process that hasn't been restarted since 2010 is 3770 | 19:25 |
| Glycan | But wait. | 19:25 |
| Glycan | What's puppy linux? | 19:25 |
| askhader | thr01: Wow. | 19:25 |
| BluesKaj | for what it's worth , those of you looking for a method to pass Dolby Digital/AC3, DTS and other movie codecs to your DAC input on audio devices like amps ot HT receivers , one has to configure VLC tools/preferences/audio , settings to: alsa /spdif and device/digital ...no need for pulseaudio ...very cool ! | 19:25 |
| askhader | That truly is stupid. | 19:25 |
| Jordan_U | askhader: 1: Don't use "retarded" as an insult 2: Don't insult people in this channel, especially those that are doing hard work to give you something Free. | 19:25 |
| Onions | Glycan, it is a live cd, it comes with a cd burner and a lot of tools for recovering your hard disk | 19:26 |
| bibliotheque | i have this:ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 19:26 |
| bibliotheque | team-xbmc-unstable-ppa-natty.list team-xbmc-unstable-ppa-natty.list.save | 19:26 |
| askhader | Jordan_U: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply any mental retardation. Just a complete disregard for rational decision making. | 19:26 |
| Glycan | Can it be a usb? | 19:26 |
| bibliotheque | Dr_Willis: | 19:26 |
| Onions | Glycan, parted magic is more specialized | 19:26 |
| bibliotheque | i have this:ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 19:26 |
| bibliotheque | team-xbmc-unstable-ppa-natty.list team-xbmc-unstable-ppa-natty.list.save | 19:26 |
| Onions | Glycan, yeah, you could try them with unetbootin it is in the repos | 19:26 |
| thr01 | askhader : thats why they included ubuntu classic (gnome 3) with 11.04 , so if people dont have supported graphics cards they are switched to ubuntu classic automatically | 19:26 |
| Glycan | I don't need to recover. I need to (I think, not sure) to put grub on the first partition. | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | bibliotheque: the ppa doesn't have natty yet. Change it to maverick and it works fine | 19:27 |
| thr01 | askhader : they thought about it well | 19:27 |
| Jordan_U | askhader: The second implication is also not welcome, nor deserved. This is a support channel, please stick to support questions and leave your opinions and insults if you must give them for other venues. | 19:27 |
| bibliotheque | ActionParsnip: ... how do i change? i edit the file? | 19:27 |
| Glycan | I had slitaz by accident, and Gparted showda small first partition, then windows, then all of my semi-accidental installs | 19:27 |
| thr01 | askhader : whats *retarded* is removing gnome 3 from 11.10 | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | thr01: gnome3 isn't in natty by default | 19:28 |
| askhader | thr01: I made no such assertion. I want to use gnome without comiz. | 19:28 |
| === Shaun__ is now known as Shaun | ||
| Onions | Glycan, parted magic has a tool that lets you clone your hard disk, you should do that before doing experiments it saves a lot of time | 19:28 |
| maco | thr01: no idea what that's got to do with mental disabilities, but gnome 3 & gnome shell actually don't work with 11.04 and have to be hacked around with a PPA to get them to be sorta functional. if they work in 11.10 thatd be an *addition* | 19:29 |
| Jordan_U | askhader: If you want the unity interface without compiz then install unity2d | 19:29 |
| ActionParsnip | bibliotheque: yes. I suggest you check supported releases when you add a ppa, they don't all support all releasez | 19:29 |
| thr01 | Meant gnome 2 btw | 19:29 |
| Jordan_U | thr01: Please don't use "retarded" as an insult. | 19:29 |
| thr01 | maco : meant gnome 2 | 19:29 |
| bibliotheque | ActionParsnip: ... but how can i modify what you said? | 19:29 |
| maco | thr01: oh well removal of gnome 2 would have to do with gnome 2 going dead upstream since there is now only gnome 3 | 19:29 |
| Jordan_U | !classic | askhader | 19:30 |
| ubottu | askhader: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. You can switch back to regular !Gnome by logging out and clicking on your user name, in the Session box at the bottom of the screen select Ubuntu Classic. | 19:30 |
| thr01 | yes but non -compiz support is required | 19:30 |
| edo1493 | Does tor work with Ubuntu 11.04 ? | 19:30 |
| maco | thr01: unity2d doesn't need compiz | 19:30 |
| maco | thr01: hence "2d" | 19:30 |
| Dr_Willis | edo1493: it can. | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | bibliotheque: use software centre and edit the ppa from natty to maverick for both entries. | 19:30 |
| edo1493 | I got an error, when I try to run it with vidalia | 19:31 |
| edo1493 | : \ | 19:31 |
| bibliotheque | ActionParsnip: i have kubuntu, no software center... | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !tor | 19:31 |
| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is not in Ubuntu's repositories. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | from what i gather compiz can 'somehow' (in the next release?) work without 3d accel. (from some blog sites) | 19:31 |
| quiescens | guedressel: anyway, you still need to find out whether it is X and firefox themselves that are causing swapins, or if there is something else, maybe temporarily using a lot of ram and pushing them both out of main memory into swap (subsequently requiring them to swap in) | 19:31 |
| Dr_Willis | bibliotheque: You could just install software center. :) or synaptic | 19:31 |
| Roasted_ | For software raid mirror do my drives have to be identical? I have two 80gb drives but they're not EXACTLY 80gb, which is weird, but they are different brands. | 19:31 |
| quiescens | guedressel: or even if X has the most faults, it could be firefox forcing both of them out of main memory or vice versa | 19:31 |
| rww | Roasted_: if software RAID is like hardware RAID, it's fine but it'll use the smaller of the two size | 19:32 |
| quiescens | guedressel: finally, the kernel could just be swapping them out even though it isn't out of memory for bad reasons which might be fixable with various options | 19:32 |
| Roasted_ | rww, ahh, didn't think of that, but it makes sense. Do you know of any web based GUI's that allow set up of software raid? I want to set up a headless server at home and manage it remotely when I move out | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | bibliotheque: then whatever app kde uses to manage installing apps. I'd imagine they just edit the files in sources.list.d | 19:32 |

| Dr_Willis | multipass: try right clicking/properties on an image? | 19:35 |
| canthus13 | ActionParsnip: Eh? Yeah.. doesn't matter who is logged in, that same instance of transmission is stuck, using 49% CPU and no memory. | 19:36 |

| Dr_Willis | multipass: not seen that. not really looked :) | 19:37 |
| multipass | Dr_Willis: kind of like dolphin i guess | 19:37 |
| canthus13 | Dr_Willis: Yep. | 19:37 |
| multipass | Dr_Willis: is or maybe i should just use dolphin? lol is that supported in here? | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Canthus13: it will have vanilla settings. You can then see if its settings causing the issue or if its the app | 19:37 |
| Dr_Willis | multipass: you can run kde apps in gnome and visa versa just fine. | 19:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Night all... | 19:38 |
| josh_k | anyone have tips for debugging external monitor support in 11.04? | 19:38 |
| aaronlevy | It's like there is dead space the mouse can go to above my laptop monitor because the resolution of the secondary monitor is higher | 19:38 |
| mickey | does anyone know how to keep flash video from leaving full screen when working on another monitor? | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Canthus13: there is also a transmission ppa with a later version (maybe) which may help | 19:40 |

| boson12 | To compile a package/software means to make it an executable file? | 20:12 |

| ralphie | general question is why i'm having the above error? | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | new_kid1: yes as the resolution is stored in ram as far as I am aware. Not 100% sure though | 20:16 |

| vanbcguy | Roasted_: There is OpenFiler, which is a distro that is targeted to exactly what you want to do | 20:34 |

| Roasted_ | vanbcguy, glad to hear someone else is on the same page as me. I'd really like to run a headless server, but only if I can have a web gui to help out here and there as I never set up software raid before. :P | 20:39 |
| Roasted_ | vanbcguy, is your disk performance pretty good? | 20:39 |
| vanbcguy | Roasted_: Plus once you configure the shares or whatever there is very little else to do. I have mine set up to email if any drives fail, etc | 20:39 |

| KJA | or what | 20:39 |

| Roasted_ | vanbcguy, with software raid on ubuntu, what if I have 2 drives and one fails. if I put the new one in does it automatically rebuild or do I have to add it to the array somehow? | 20:41 |
| canthus13 | blah. | 20:41 |
| vanbcguy | Roasted_: You'll have to tell it to rebuild manually. I've had two drives go over the life of the array and had to manually rebuild both times | 20:41 |
| Roasted_ | vanbcguy, is it very involved? | 20:41 |
| vanbcguy | Roasted_: nope, single command | 20:42 |
| vanbcguy | Roasted_: It takes a while to do the rebuild but you can still keep using the array during that | 20:42 |
| Roasted_ | vanbcguy, nice. I wonder if webmin or zentyal could help me out here. I'll have to see. | 20:42 |

| rigbyrobot | l cfg file, i also merged my default keyring with my login , to save on the hassle of typing in my pass 10-15 times at login, dont know if thats tied to my issue , but dose anyone know if its possible to over right the login config file back to the default, and be able to still access my account? | 21:45 |

| Azelphur | tomshaw: how does it fail exactly? | 22:49 |

| szal | tomshaw: any concrete example of error(s)? | 22:49 |
| jaxxdrew | does netflix work in linux | 22:49 |

| kirior | AVRS, will do downloading F4 now and will reset all stuff, how ubout setting after update? | 22:50 |
| Chowzzf | yeats: thanks! Am I correct in saying that the man pages for make doesn't talk about the character sequences "$@" and "$<" at all? | 22:50 |

| Snicers-Work2 | I am confused, top shows that at most 20% of my RAM is being used, but in reality 90% is being used, why is this? | 22:51 |

| kirior | AVRS, kk nn :) | 22:51 |
| AVRS | thx | 22:51 |
| AVRS | good night | 22:51 |
| szal | Snicers-Work2: buffers/cache | 22:51 |
| andrei | night | 22:51 |
| Snicers-Work2 | szal, can I view which applications are using the most buffer/cache? | 22:52 |
| andrei | quit | 22:52 |
| andrei | !quit | 22:52 |
| andrei | hmm | 22:52 |
| szal | Snicers-Work2: it's all in top | 22:52 |
| szal | andrei: "/quit" | 22:52 |
| Azelphur | Snicers-Work2: buffer/cache is used for putting files in memory that are frequently accessed | 22:52 |
| andrei | oh, thanks! | 22:52 |
| crazed92 | Whew! I made it back :D | 22:52 |
| Azelphur | Snicers-Work2: it's a good thing, the memory will be free'd if it's needed. | 22:52 |
| Snicers-Work2 | Azelphur, I understand, but I would just like to see which applications are requesting the most memory usage. | 22:53 |
| gem_cat | mozeee, http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/14350.aspx | 22:53 |
| Azelphur | Snicers-Work2: if you run top and then press >, it'll show you memory usage | 22:53 |
| Azelphur | Snicers-Work2: applications don't request cache space, the kernel puts files there when it feels like it. | 22:53 |
| crazed92 | Anyway, overlay scrollbars. Not working in firefox. Any way to make it work? FF addon, hidden whitelist, editing the code...? | 22:53 |
| Snicers-Work2 | Azelphur, I understand, so even though my RAM has 90% usage on it, it is actually just holding files in just in case, not cause they are being used? | 22:54 |
| LAcan | can anyone help me get smbd to start at boot ? | 22:54 |
| Azelphur | Snicers-Work2: well, it's holding files because they are frequently used and it thinks you'll probably want them again, it speeds your system up. | 22:54 |
| Azelphur | Snicers-Work2: if the memory was needed by an application, it'd stop using the space for caching files and use it for the application | 22:56 |
| Azelphur | Snicers-Work2: so basically, it's all beneficial unless your in a niche situation | 22:56 |

| gem_cat | restating my question - previously when I stuck in a cd it was auto mounted - natty doesn't and fstab has changed - man fstab is not very clear - there seem to be new utilities for manipulating fstab - their man pages are not clear either - someone has packaged a fstab-py utility but there are no instructions on how to use it - anyone using data on cd's ? | 23:08 |

| fr00g | Is it possible to have Unity only manage windows on the active desktop? | 23:32 |
| === derp is now known as ^ | ||
| iceroot | jubei___: you have to say your router that it is xx.xx.org:80 forwarding to your local apache | 23:33 |
| iceroot | jubei___: because apache is running on a lan-ip | 23:33 |
| jubei___ | iceroot: ok i think im starting to get what your saying | 23:34 |
| aaaaalex | jubei___, iceroot i thought your apache was running on the router pc? | 23:34 |
| iceroot | jubei___: your router is ubuntu? or a box? | 23:34 |
| venik212 | I even rebooted but knotify4 still hogs the system | 23:34 |

| jubei___ | iceroot: i am using one pc with with ubuntu server with 2 nics, one dialing pppoe another going to a switch to give access to clients. | 23:34 |
| iceroot | jubei___: aaaaalex if apache is only lsitening on 192.168.0.1 instead of a wan-ip apache will not hanlde wan-requests | 23:35 |

| fr00g | Is it possible to have Unity only manage windows on the active desktop? | 23:35 |
| iceroot | jubei___: if i am correct, apache is reading /etc/hosts but maybe ask the guys in #httpd | 23:36 |
| venik212 | anyone? | 23:37 |
| iceroot | jubei___: /etc/apache2/ports.conf seems to be the important part | 23:37 |
| iceroot | jubei___: there you say on what apache is listening | 23:37 |
| iceroot | jubei___: and then apache is looking in /etc/hosts what ip is assigned to that hostname | 23:37 |
| Polah | fr00g: Unity is the desktop environment, not the window manager. Unless I'm mistaken. | 23:38 |

| iceroot | arays: why you need them in /root/? | 23:38 |
| arays | The readme file says to copy them into root. | 23:39 |
| iceroot | arays: there is no single reason to copy them intio /root( | 23:39 |
| iceroot | arays: what readme? | 23:39 |
| Polah | arays: Can you not just do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer or xubuntu-restricted extras to get Flash? Rather than install it manually. | 23:39 |
| Jorgee | help me with this please? ?Can't locate LWP/Socket.pm in @INC | 23:39 |

| iceroot | arays: dont install from adobe!! | 23:39 |
| iceroot | !flash | arays | 23:39 |
| ubottu | arays: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 23:39 |
| iceroot | arays: never install software from websites if it is in the repos | 23:40 |
| iceroot | !repo | arays | 23:40 |

| Roasted | What raid is supported in Ubuntu's alternate CD? Is that software raid or fake raid? | 23:40 |
| iceroot | Roasted: its the same | 23:40 |
| Roasted | iceroot, oh? I thought they were different. | 23:40 |
| Roasted | iceroot, is it easy to set up? | 23:40 |
| iceroot | Roasted: you only want software-raid and not fakeraid | 23:40 |
| IdleOne | !raid > Roasted | 23:41 |
| ubottu | Roasted, please see my private message | 23:41 |
| Roasted | iceroot, well, yeah. but you just said they were the same? | 23:41 |
| arays | Ah. The sudo apt get worked flawlessly! Thanks guys. | 23:41 |
| iceroot | Roasted: both are softare-raids, but fakeraid has some disadvantages | 23:41 |
| flowbee | if i already have ruby installed and i want to install rvm... must i uninstall ruby first and then install rvm? (running ubuntu 10.04). also what other ruby packages must i uninstall first (if necessary)? | 23:41 |
| === Zorlin is now known as Guest38960 | ||
| arays | Is that to be the same command for installing everything else? | 23:41 |
| iceroot | arays: sudo apt-get install packagename | 23:42 |
| Roasted | iceroot, what disadvantages? I was trying to avoid fakeraid anyway. I was told to use software raid. | 23:42 |
| iceroot | arays: that is the way installing software on ubuntu | 23:42 |
| arays | iceroot: Where do I look up package names then? | 23:42 |
| iceroot | Roasted: if you change your board/fake-raid controller there is a chance that your raid is broken | 23:42 |
| iceroot | Roasted: you can only use the raid with that controller | 23:42 |
| Roasted | iceroot, I don't have onboard raid. | 23:42 |
| iceroot | Roasted: not speed advantages like hardwareraid | 23:42 |
| mdel | arays: you should probably check out the "Software Center" | 23:42 |
| soberb410 | arays : ubuntu software centre if I understand your question correctly | 23:43 |
| aaaaalex | arays, you can also use the software center (for applications) and synaptic (to see the individual packages) | 23:43 |
| mdel | or | 23:43 |
| Polah | arays: Ubuntu Software Centre will give you package names for things, or you can install it through the software centre itself by just clicking "install". You can also search the repositories by doing "sudo apt-cache search <term>" | 23:43 |
| mdel | apt-cache search <term> | 23:43 |
| Roasted | iceroot, speed isn't a big issue, as it'll just be a simple backup SAN here at home. I just want an easy to setup way to have raid1. | 23:43 |
| mdel | lol | 23:43 |
| arays | Alright. Thanks. Also. I noticed I have no sound from anything. Do I visit the Software center for this as well? | 23:43 |
| iceroot | Roasted: use software-raid1 and create it with the alternate cd | 23:43 |
| Jorgee | help me with this please? ?Can't locate LWP/Socket.pm in @INC | 23:44 |
| === Instiinct is now known as s0menick | ||
| Roasted | iceroot, that's what I planned on doing. Hey just curious, is it easy to set up raid1 via software raid on an already installed system? | 23:44 |
| Roasted | iceroot, like what if I slapped in 2 drives into this desktop. would raid1 be easy to set up? | 23:44 |
| iceroot | Roasted: also you can create a software-raid AFTER an installation too | 23:44 |
| Polah | Arays: install pulseaudio, or purge and reinstall it. sudo apt-get install pulseaudio and sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio | 23:44 |
| Roasted | iceroot, hahaha nice. is that painful to do? | 23:44 |
| iceroot | Roasted: easy is relative | 23:44 |
| mdel | pain is as well | 23:45 |
| iceroot | Roasted: just read the text from ubottu and ask if there are open questions | 23:45 |
| iceroot | !raid | Roasted | 23:45 |
| ubottu | Roasted: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 23:45 |
| iceroot | Roasted: first link | 23:45 |
| Roasted | iceroot, would I still use the alternate CD to set it up? | 23:45 |
| aaaaalex | Polah, arays if you run those commands in tha order you will have uninstalle pulseaudio | 23:45 |
| iceroot | Roasted: if you want create the raid at installation, you need the alternate, else you can setup the raid after installation at any time with the shell | 23:46 |
| Polah | aaaaalex: Correct. I told him he could try installing it first and if it's already instead, purge it then install it. Perhaps I should have made it more clear: To install it do "sudo apt-get install pulseaudio". If it's already there do "sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio" then "sudo apt-get install pulseaudio" to purge it and reinstall. | 23:46 |
| Roasted | iceroot, yeah, I'm going to start from ground up here, so I'm downloading the alternate CD. Just for sake of curiosity I was still curious on how to set i up on an already installed system. I'm reading through the link, but I'm not quite sure yet | 23:46 |
| aaaaalex | arays, are you sure you got all plugged in all right? | 23:46 |
| === ^ is now known as _ | ||

| Roasted | iceroot, right. but this is done in terminal, right? apt-get install mdadm. sudo mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/drive1 etc | 23:47 |
| Roasted | iceroot, ist hat correct? | 23:47 |
| === Guest5526 is now known as Snooki | ||

| === crazed92 is now known as crazedpsyc | ||
| aaaaalex | Polah, okies | 23:48 |
| iceroot | Roasted: yes sounds correct | 23:48 |
| iceroot | Roasted: but first you have to say that md0 is raid1 | 23:48 |
| Roasted | iceroot, so if Im running an array and one disk fails, I would have to mdadm --remove (dead drive) then --add /dev/sdanewdrive?? | 23:48 |
| iceroot | Roasted: after that you add drives to md0 as you wrote | 23:48 |
| venik212 | killed knotify4 and no smoke yet... works fine without it | 23:49 |
| Roasted | iceroot, would the 2nd empty drive I just added auto mirror once I add it to the array? | 23:49 |
| iceroot | Roasted: i dont know if you have to remove a drive first | 23:49 |
| arays | My internet disconnected. What was that one command for audio? sudo apt-get pulseaudio? | 23:49 |
| iceroot | Roasted: yes | 23:49 |
| Jorgee | help me with this please? ?Can't locate LWP/Socket.pm in @INC | 23:49 |

| iceroot | Roasted: mdadm is rebuilding the raid then | 23:49 |
| Roasted | iceroot, nice. | 23:49 |
| iceroot | Roasted: you can to that at any time, no need at installation | 23:49 |
| Roasted | iceroot, yeah, I understand. | 23:50 |
| iceroot | Roasted: but remeber to install grub on sda AND sdb | 23:50 |
| aaaaalex | arays it should already be installed as it is the default audio server in ubuntu. open the sound preferences and make sure it shows a sound card there under hardware - try testing the speakers | 23:50 |
| Roasted | iceroot, I was going to install Ubuntu on a flash drive. | 23:50 |
| iceroot | Roasted: grub (/boot) is not part of the raid | 23:50 |
| iceroot | Roasted: sorry, /boot is part of the raid but not the bootloader | 23:51 |
| Roasted | iceroot, thats confusing... | 23:51 |
| aaaaalex | arays, to do that, you right click on the little speaker close to the top right corner of your screen - also make sure your sound is not muted or set to 0 | 23:51 |
| iceroot | Roasted: master-boot-record is not part of the raid | 23:51 |

| iceroot | mdel: sorry | 23:51 |
| === noi is now known as noia121212121 | ||

| arays | Now I have sound. Thank you very much! | 23:52 |
| Roasted | iceroot, thats only important if sda fails, then sdb cannot boot, right? | 23:52 |
| iceroot | Roasted: correct | 23:52 |
| Roasted | iceroot, but if I install ito n a flash drive... I don't need to bother | 23:52 |
| aaaaalex | arays welcome to ubuntu :-D | 23:52 |
| iceroot | Roasted: they fail also | 23:52 |
| Roasted | iceroot, right, but that was still my intention | 23:52 |
| Roasted | iceroot, do the drives in raid1 have to be identical? | 23:53 |
| iceroot | Roasted: the size, yes | 23:53 |
| iceroot | Roasted: its also a very good idea to have the same speed on both | 23:53 |
| Roasted | iceroot, I have two 80gb drives, but they arent identical in MB size | 23:54 |
| Roasted | iceroot, theyre like 76800 and 76450 | 23:54 |
| iceroot | Roasted: or better, the partitions have to be the same size, the complete drive size doesnt matter | 23:54 |
| iceroot | Roasted: you are building raid on partitions not on complete drives | 23:54 |
| Roasted | iceroot, good point. | 23:54 |
| iceroot | Roasted: install on a single drive, copy the partion layout (first 512 byte with dd) and then create md0 and add partitions on it, install grub in sdb and thats all | 23:55 |
| Roasted | iceroot, I cant install grub on both drives during the install process tho, can I | 23:56 |
| iceroot | Roasted: dont know if the installer can do it | 23:56 |
| iceroot | Roasted: sudo grub-install /dev/sdb should do the job | 23:56 |
