| aaaaalex | acfrazier, this is a long shot, but maybe you need to enable it in the sound preferences -> hardware -> profiles menu? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| acfrazier | Nope, it's set to "Digital Stereo Duplex (IEC958)" | 00:00 |
| iceroot | Jorgee: "sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file update" after that you can search all packages containf the file "foo" with "sudo apt-file search foo" | 00:01 |
| aaaaalex | acfrazier, is your sound card fully supported? i had a friend with a soundblaster x-fi - which is poorly supported | 00:01 |
| aaaaalex | !hardware | 00:01 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 00:01 |
| acfrazier | If intel HDA/Realtek ALC1200 isn't supported well then that'd suck | 00:02 |
| acfrazier | I built this computer myself, so it's not really under a "brand" | 00:03 |

| rcmaehl_netbook | okay #ubuntu, I'm going to be dual booting windows on my netbook soon so how will I fix teh boot loader after windows 7 screws it up? | 00:46 |
| abys | rcmaehl_netbook I think if you boot on the cd there is an option to reinstall grub | 00:47 |
| rcmaehl_netbook | abys: how | 00:47 |
| Starminn | abys: Just so we're clear, you have Ubuntu installed, and will be installing Win7? | 00:48 |
| abys | rcmaehl_netbook just boot on the cd, I think with natty it gives you the choice to recover grub, but I'm not sure | 00:48 |
| rcmaehl_netbook | Starminn: yes | 00:48 |
| Starminn | !recovergrub | 00:48 |
| === soberb410 is now known as jauntyhippie | ||
| nit-wit | rcmaehl_netbook, you are using grub2 correct. | 00:49 |

| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| === jauntyhippie is now known as soberb410 | ||
| rcmaehl_netbook | nit-wit: idk | 00:49 |
| rcmaehl_netbook | Starminn: only because windows 7 does about 3 things better: wifi, gaming, networking | 00:49 |
| abys | rcmaehl_netbook if you have a partition ready install 7 on it and after install if you boot on ubuntu natty cd, you might be able to fix grub. Try to boot on it to see the options it gives to you ;) | 00:49 |

| nit-wit | abys, just for information reloading grub is easy so be careful just saying what you think rather then what you know. | 00:52 |
| nit-wit | rcmaehl_netbook, I will give you a link for reloading grub use the natty cd only hold on. | 00:52 |

| [min|dvir|us] | gartral: It's wireless. | 01:18 |
| lfaraone | aeon-ltd: fair enough. I'll do an OEM install of Ubuntu and see how it runs, and if it sucks majorly I'll replace with Xubuntu | 01:18 |
| [min|dvir|us] | gartral: Thank you for responding extremely quickly. | 01:18 |
| [min|dvir|us] | Usually I just get ignored. | 01:18 |
| gartral | [min|dvir|us]: right.. so's my laptop, but i have a gobi 3g modem that give network monitor trouble | 01:19 |

| fr00g | Why, in Unity, do some windows have a black bar like this? http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6849/screenshot031zn.png | 01:20 |
| lfaraone | gartral: in all honesty, once you're beyond swapping a few gigs to disk, your comptuer will be slow as hell anyway, so I never got why we had huge swap partitions. | 01:20 |

| lfaraone | soberb410: "a random connection", or a specific one? | 01:21 |
| lfaraone | abys: if its on a supported ubuntu release, this is it. | 01:21 |
| soberb410 | a random one apparently | 01:21 |
| lfaraone | soberb410: "edit connections" then go to "wireless" and remove the networks you don't want from the connection list. | 01:22 |

| abys | lfaraone is I search for "t" for example it should give me a least terminal, but I've got nothing at all | 01:28 |
| lfaraone | !repeat | astley | 01:28 |
| ubottu | astley: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 01:28 |
| lfaraone | abys: does "term" bring up terminal? | 01:28 |
| abys | lfaraone if I click on more apps or finds files, nothing happen | 01:28 |
| lfaraone | Unity Dash is finnicky, I personally prefer GNOME Do. | 01:28 |
| RudyValencia | I have a PXE boot installer on my server so I can just select the appropriate -pae kernel? | 01:28 |
| coz_ | astley, not sure from that readout... you might want to try the # #Linxu channel | 01:28 |
| abys | lfaraone nop nothing | 01:28 |
| abys | lfaraone got my term as a shortcut on the left panel | 01:29 |
| hiexpo | ? on a usb to figure out what boot loader was used on it | 01:29 |
| lfaraone | abys: mk. then I've no idea. I use "classic ubuntu" or another WM, so I don't know all that much unity. | 01:29 |
| abys | lfaraone so I can still run my program that way | 01:29 |
| lfaraone | hiexpo: try booting off it? | 01:29 |
| abys | lfaraone but it kills all unity meaning ^_^ | 01:29 |
| lfaraone | hiexpo: it's probably either syslinux or grub. | 01:29 |
| lfaraone | abys: er? | 01:30 |
| hiexpo | lfaraone, i have booted it if there is a syslinux.cfg file it was syslinux right there is no grub folder | 01:30 |
| abys | lfaraone running commands through my terminal, should be unity easiness jobs | 01:30 |
| well | /quit | 01:31 |
| lfaraone | hiexpo: it means that there's a syslinux.cfg file :) it could indicate syslinux was installed, or that it was installed at one point or that somebody wanted to just create such a file :) | 01:31 |
| lfaraone | abys: perhaps. but alas! | 01:31 |
| abys | lfaraone thanks for your help anyway | 01:31 |
| Roasted | Question - I thought software raid on Ubuntu saw 2 drives as 1? I still see two individual drives. | 01:32 |
| lfaraone | Roasted: I *think* the underlying drives are still there in /dev/sda and /dev/sdb or whatever, but you're also presented with a third "drive" which is the softraid. | 01:32 |
| Roasted | lfaraone, where would I see that "third" drive at | 01:33 |
| lfaraone | Roasted: /dev/md0 or something similar. | 01:33 |
| Roasted | lfaraone, how would I see it? | 01:33 |
| Roasted | sudo fdisk -l doesnt show it | 01:33 |
| lfaraone | Roasted: do you have a /dev/md0? | 01:33 |
| hiexpo | lfaraone, so if wanted to create a bootable with syslinux would i install syslinux after placing all the iso files on the usb ? | 01:33 |
| Roasted | nope | 01:34 |
| Roasted | sda1, sdb1, sdc1 | 01:34 |
| Roasted | sdc is my flash drive where the OS is | 01:34 |
| lfaraone | hiexpo: before or after, yes. | 01:34 |
| Roasted | sda1 and sdb1 are the raid array | 01:34 |
| lfaraone | !syslinux | hiexpo | 01:34 |

| Crazy873734 | Is their a way in ubuntu to add the "start" menu back? | 02:31 |

| vistaswitch | You could install a theme. | 02:31 |

| Erics | vistaswitch: yea, its called wubi | 02:34 |
| hiexpo | Crazy873734, what you mean the start menu > you mean the top bar? | 02:34 |
| Crazy873734 | yeah! | 02:34 |
| adbuntu_ | I added dockbarX to the bottom panel in ubuntu. How do I get rid of the regular way that Ubuntu shows applications/windows in the bottom panel? | 02:34 |

| Erics | http://wubi.sourceforge.net/ | 02:34 |
| vistaswitch | Is that the only option? | 02:34 |
| Erics | it installs ubuntu (or a lot of other distos) in your installation | 02:34 |
| Crazy873734 | hiexpo yeah | 02:35 |
| Flash_Jordan | no ubutnu 10.04 | 02:35 |
| hiexpo | Crazy873734, whatdid you have ubuntu 10.04? | 02:35 |
| Erics | im not sure if the livecd lets you kep the windows boatload | 02:35 |
| Erics | *boot loader* | 02:35 |
| Crazy873734 | hiexpo latest version i downloaded from ubuntu site, so i guess so | 02:36 |
| vistaswitch | I heard somewhere you can install grub to the primary boot sector of another partition or something, but I'm not sure how. | 02:36 |
| hiexpo | Crazy873734, what did you do delete it? | 02:36 |
| Crazy873734 | I done a full reinstall, everythink changed. | 02:36 |
| Erics | grub automatically loads first, taking over the windows boot loader | 02:36 |
| Erics | im not sure if you can change that | 02:37 |
| blazecon | im sorry to ask a stupid question, but i thought .bin files were compressed files? | 02:37 |
| Flash_Jordan | anyone know of a All-in-one Mac theme for ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid lynx) | 02:37 |
| hiexpo | oh so you have 11.04 Crazy873734 i am not familar with it | 02:37 |
| adbuntu_ | binary files | 02:37 |
| Erics | wubi is the only one i know of that doesn't take over the bootloader | 02:37 |
| blazecon | im trying to install java and cant open the .bin file it comes in... | 02:37 |
| Erics | .bin is a binary file | 02:38 |
| rww | blazecon: .bin files can be pretty much anything that's not ASCII text. It's not a standardized file format. | 02:38 |
| vistaswitch | I don't mind it taking over the bootloader, I just need an easy way to get my mbr back since I have no install disk. | 02:38 |
| rww | blazecon: you should be using the partner repository to install Java anyway :\ | 02:38 |
| rww | !java | 02:38 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 02:38 |
| Erics | oh | 02:38 |
| Crazy873734 | ah hiexpo | 02:38 |
| Erics | did it already do it | 02:38 |
| hiexpo | Flash_Jordan, you could look in gnomelook.org perhaps | 02:38 |
| vistaswitch | No, I haven't even created the partition for it yet. | 02:38 |
| blazecon | partner repository< whats that? | 02:38 |
| Erics | the last time my mbr got jacked grub was able to boot my windows partition | 02:38 |
| blazecon | are you talking about the software center? | 02:38 |
| Flash_Jordan | hiexpo on the web or in the software channel somewhere? | 02:39 |
| hiexpo | Flash_Jordan, web | 02:39 |
| Flash_Jordan | thx | 02:39 |
| Erics | if you install it from the live cd it should add an entry to grub to boot to the windows partition | 02:39 |
| hiexpo | Flash_Jordan, maybe google mac themes for ubuntu 10.04 | 02:40 |
| vistaswitch | I know, but it installs grub by default right over my mbr. | 02:40 |
| Erics | yes but it should add the entry to boot to windows | 02:40 |
| Erics | it doesn't trash the windows mbr it just installs grub over it | 02:40 |
| Erics | you can still access it | 02:41 |
| vistaswitch | Yes, and I had that working on another machine with xp, but when I deleted the ubuntu partition, I ended up having to borrow an xp install disk and run fixmbr. | 02:41 |
| Erics | who is rww ? | 02:41 |

| Erics | oh | 02:41 |
| Roasted | Question - I'm trying to add my RAID drive to fstab so it auto mounts to /media/storage via UUID. I've done this before with regular hard drives, but I cannot seem to do this with the RAID drive. What am I doing wrong? | 02:41 |

| Erics | Guest50552: What's your problem | 02:43 |

| Crazy873734 | I wonder whyy the? ubuntu developer's spend so much time on UI instead on sounds and video drivers? | 02:50 |

| redbaronpizza | hi | 04:25 |
| Samo502 | Gskellig: it only happened after i unplugged my AC, so it's nothing a restart wouldn't fix | 04:25 |

| Gskellig | CrustyBarnacle, i have the same problem, and its only sometimes | 04:28 |
| syrinx_ | Roasted: wowza | 04:28 |
| Roasted | syrinx_, :( | 04:28 |
| Gskellig | i think installing powertop made it happen less often | 04:28 |

| Samo502 | CrustyBarnacle: where can i check? | 04:30 |
| CrustyBarnacle | Samo502: 4-cell is flush, 6-cell sticks out. | 04:30 |
| Gskellig | 6-cell on a HP mini I imagine you can get like 8+ hours | 04:31 |
| Samo502 | CrustyBarnacle: i don't think my battery sticks out unless it's in the thing that sticks out in the back to keep the laptop cooler underneath and elevate it in the back | 04:31 |
| Gskellig | bbl | 04:31 |
| Roasted | Besides Webmin and Zentyal, what else is out there for web based server management? | 04:31 |
| CrustyBarnacle | Samo502: Is that "thing" part of the battery if you remove it? | 04:31 |
| CrustyBarnacle | Samo502: If you remove the battery, that is. | 04:31 |

| Samo502 | CrustyBarnacle: let me check in the light | 04:32 |
| Samo502 | i'm thinking so | 04:33 |
| CrustyBarnacle | Samo502: Any chance the battery is bad? (Refurbished? Used?) | 04:33 |
| Samo502 | the battery removal buttons are nearby | 04:33 |
| Guest32825 | Roasted, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SysCP | 04:33 |
| Samo502 | CrustyBarnacle: i would doubt it, this computer is maybe a year old and it was bought brand new | 04:33 |
| Roasted | syscp... is this new? | 04:33 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, it doesnt say anything about samba, raid control, etc... | 04:34 |
| Roasted | and ubuntu yells at me when I try to install it, saying bad quality | 04:34 |
| enav | UbuntuOne works slow or is just my idea ? | 04:34 |
| CrustyBarnacle | Samo502: Not sure then... :-/ | 04:35 |
| Samo502 | CrustyBarnacle: would a battery take some kind of driver to estimate time until it empties or what rate it drains? | 04:35 |
| syrinx_ | Samo502: no | 04:36 |
| CrustyBarnacle | Not sure.... How long has the current install of Ubuntu been on the lappy? | 04:36 |
| Samo502 | CrustyBarnacle: not even a day so far | 04:36 |
| gartral | Samo502: no, that;s done by a i2c chip | 04:36 |
| Samo502 | though to not be mistaken, i love having ubuntu on it | 04:37 |
| Samo502 | but this glitch is a bit of an annoyance since i can't see my battery % without opening power statistics | 04:37 |
| CrustyBarnacle | Samo502: Maybe it need to buildup a history of the battery's use of power/charging? | 04:37 |
| Samo502 | CrustyBarnacle: possible | 04:37 |
| mouse_ | I'm trying to connect my lg vu cu920 cell phone through usb as mass storage and linux isn't detecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this? | 04:38 |
| CrustyBarnacle | Samo502: Let's see how it does for a few days. | 04:38 |
| Onions | Samo502, i had the same problem once | 04:38 |
| Samo502 | though power statistics doesn't show the rate as anything but 0.0 W so i dunno | 04:38 |
| Guest32825 | Roasted, are you looking for software to do the work for you? | 04:38 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, I'm looking for web based software so I can manage this box from outside the network. | 04:39 |
| Onions | Samo502, i let the computer discharge, and then i charged it again. It fixed it | 04:39 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, Im leaving behind a file server when I move out so I want to be able to forward the port and log in whenever I want. IT's for my parents. | 04:39 |
| Samo502 | Onions: a full discharge or to the near limits? | 04:39 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, I just want a quick way to see how the raid array is doing and tweak any CIFS shares I need to | 04:39 |
| CrustyBarnacle | Samo502: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/battery-applet-status-ubuntu/ | 04:39 |
| Onions | Samo502, a full discharge, but it could have been a coincidence | 04:40 |
| izinucs | Roasted: ssh is one.. not sure about a gui web based manager though | 04:40 |
| Guest32825 | Roasted, why not set up ssh and a performance monitoring tool for the web piece? | 04:40 |
| Onions | Samo502, it was a compaq mini | 04:40 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, I suppose that's an option too | 04:40 |
| Guest32825 | um, the only one that makes sense | 04:40 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, how does my idea not make sense? | 04:40 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, forward port, log in externally, see what I need to see, done. | 04:41 |
| Roasted | imo, makes the most sense. | 04:41 |
| izinucs | Roasted: you still need to port forward with ssh | 04:41 |
| Samo502 | CrustyBarnacle: trying that now | 04:41 |
| Guest32825 | Roasted, the is issue is that there is no once size fits all for what you want to do | 04:42 |
| Samo502 | CrustyBarnacle: i'll return with results when i finish | 04:42 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, well I think zentyal does the job, but I'm getting some weird errors with it. I'm curious if rebooting it would help since I installed it, but I dont' want to interrupt my array that's cu rrently syncing. | 04:42 |
| maahes | I need a script for recursively going through a directory, and its sub directories, and renaming every file such that spaces are converted to underscores. I found one bash script that kind of worked, but it only went one level deep | 04:43 |
| izinucs | Roasted: zentyal = ebox .. in the repos.. did you install/compile from outside sources? | 04:44 |
| Guest32825 | Roasted, I would wait until the array is in sync | 04:44 |
| Roasted | izinucs, nope, software center. | 04:44 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, I hear ya. I hate to tick it off. :P | 04:44 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, it's hard to tho when I'm on the verge of falling asleep and zentyal says its got 49 minutes to complete :/ | 04:44 |
| Roasted | I want to start my backup tonight so its done by morning | 04:44 |
| Samo502 | now to figure out how to add the new battery status to the panel :P | 04:44 |
| Guest32825 | Roasted, further 90 % of the wierd errors make perfect sense though we might not know what they are | 04:45 |
| Roasted | izinucs, hey by the way, do you know why ebox changed its name? | 04:45 |
| izinucs | Roasted: I don't.. from my side ebox is easier to remember and spell.. but Zentyal has to mean or stand for something.. | 04:46 |
| Roasted | Guest32825, well my thought process is with installing zentyal that attaches itself to contrlling things like samba, smb.conf, users and groups, etc, I wouldn't be surprised if a reboot is needed to sync things up, because I'm not seeing an option to add users in the zentyal panel and I can't seem to edit anything samba wise. Just a guess, though | 04:46 |
| Onions | Samo502, you have to right click the panel and choose the first option | 04:46 |
| Roasted | izinucs, oh man. I remember reading about what zentyal means... googling it... | 04:46 |
| Samo502 | Onions: i'm on 11.04, right clicking the panel in a general(non icon) area brings up no options | 04:46 |
| Onions | Samo502, i am sorry, i am still using 10.04 :P | 04:46 |
| Samo502 | Onions: it's fine, i didn't exactly specify | 04:47 |
| Samo502 | gonna try something, be back in a few moments | 04:48 |

| KerrMD | Guest32825: have you tried to look at the man page for apache2 to make sure it is installed? If "whereis" did not find it there is a chance it is not | 05:12 |

| BLZbubba | how do i disable compiz in natty? | 05:15 |
| BLZbubba | it looks like the old way to turn it off is gone | 05:16 |
| CrustyBarnacle | DIFTOW: sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-gdm-theme | 05:16 |
| devourer09 | BLZbubba: I'm tempted to say 'killall compiz' but I wouldn't do that. | 05:16 |
| DIFTOW | Crusty, will that remove the Xfce session? Cause I don't want to remove that. :P | 05:16 |

| Lesterwood | not what functions the best? | 05:17 |
| Lesterwood | or do they have a craptacular marketing department | 05:17 |
| BLZbubba | devourer09: i definitely want to kill it, it is annoying. but need the other one back; is it still metacity? | 05:17 |

| ngedea | I got it up | 06:20 |
| bazhang | ngedea, that nothing is muted | 06:21 |
| Kream | does ssh use compression by default? | 06:21 |
| ngedea | I see 4 bars with italian flags the last two are empty | 06:22 |
| Loshki | Kream: no, because it isn't always desirable to have compression... | 06:23 |
| rob_p | Kream: You can specify in sshd_config to enable it with, "Compression yes" | 06:23 |
| Kream | oh okay thanks :) | 06:23 |
| rob_p | Loshki: When is it not desirable to have compression? I'm sure there *must* be situations where it's not. But in over 10 years of using ssh, ssh tunnels, etc. I've always used it, and benefitted by using it. | 06:25 |
| ngedea | bazhang, when i mute on purpose I see the MM, but right now no sound and 00 | 06:25 |
| Kream | rob_p: synchronising filetrees using rsync over a private gigabit vlan between 2 heavily loaded machines. | 06:26 |
| Roasted | so I deleted my /etc/samba folder, but I reinstalled samba. it didn't recreate it. uh?? | 06:27 |
| Loshki | rob_p: well, the classic counterexample is if you're moving already-compressed data e.g. mp3s, mpgs etc. The ssh man page also says that "Compression is desirable on modem lines and other slow connections, but will only slow down things on fast networks." | 06:28 |
| ssfdre38 | How can i get Tcl on ubuntu servers | 06:28 |
| rob_p | Loshki: True, you would benefit nothing for pre-compressed data, but it doesn't hurt anything and the overhead is quite minimal. However, with uncompressed data, you achieve substantial gains. | 06:29 |

| ssfdre38 | it says its not there | 06:32 |
| bazhang | ssfdre38, what version of ubuntu, its there | 06:32 |
| Loshki | rob_p: pre-compressed data will sometimes get larger if you try and recompress it, and overhead is overhead. I think it mattered more when cpus were less powerful, or if you're doing long data runs... | 06:32 |
| ssfdre38 | bazhang: 11.0\ | 06:33 |
| ssfdre38 | 11.04* | 06:33 |

| ssfdre38 | bazhang: do you know the path of the libtcl.so | 06:34 |
| esmaeil | hi all | 06:35 |
| Loshki | rob_p: also, you pay overhead at both ends, one end compresses, the other decompresses... | 06:35 |
| esmaeil | I wanna install gcc 3.8 on ubuntu 11.04 | 06:35 |
| esmaeil | how can i do | 06:35 |
| bazhang | esmaeil, why would you ever want that | 06:35 |
| rob_p | Loshki: True, but I'd trade overhead at both ends if it meant more throughput. | 06:35 |
| bazhang | ssfdre38, which libtcl.so ? | 06:35 |
| ssfdre38 | bazhang: its just saying libtcl.so | 06:36 |
| Loshki | rob_p: in practice, the only way to be sure is to try it both ways and see which gives better performance... | 06:36 |
| esmaeil | because i need install some software such as simplescalar | 06:36 |
| bazhang | ssfdre38, explain what you are trying to do to the channel please | 06:36 |
| rob_p | Loshki: Your Web browser and some of the servers it talks to do the same, compress/uncompress on the fly for better throughput. | 06:36 |
| bazhang | esmaeil, what does simplescalar do | 06:36 |
| ssfdre38 | im trying to install a irc bot and it requires the path to libtcl.so from the server | 06:37 |
| rob_p | Loshki: True, a side-by-side test would be the ticket. I suspect that the results would swing both ways and would be *very* situation dependent. | 06:37 |
| esmaeil | bazhang: it's a simulation for Computer Architecture(cpu, cache,...) | 06:38 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=851288 esmaeil | 06:41 |
| Loshki | rob_p: I suppose if there was a general guideline it would be "don't recompress compressed data"... | 06:43 |
| rob_p | Loshki: Agreed. However, enabling/disabling compression all the time probably isn't worth the effort, even if you always knew when the data to be transferred was already compressed or not. That's why I just leave it enabled all the time. | 06:46 |
| rob_p | Loshki: I've never noticeably suffered from doing it that way. Then again, most of my ssh traffic is just shell sessions. | 06:48 |
| Loshki | rob_p: right. I think it would only matter if you were doing large data transfers via scp... | 06:48 |

| bazhang | TwoCircuits, backports will, but very newest, not in PPA or otherwise specifically for 10.10 may well not | 07:04 |
| sara2010 | bazhang, | 07:04 |
| sara2010 | 1248UB is working ... but BearPaw 2400CU plus is not working | 07:04 |
| TwoCircuits | ahhh | 07:05 |
| TwoCircuits | so anything in the ppa works for any version of ubuntu? | 07:05 |
| jx-t | oh for natty | 07:05 |
| bluek | vbox xp ,cad 2004 can't open?why? | 07:05 |
| bazhang | TwoCircuits, certainly not, unless the maintainer choose s to do so | 07:06 |
| bazhang | bluek, check appdb ask in #winehq | 07:06 |
| bazhang | !appdb | bluek | 07:06 |
| ubottu | bluek: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 07:06 |
| TwoCircuits | so even packages that show up in the software center may not work eventually? | 07:06 |
| TwoCircuits | or does it know it's for 10.10? | 07:07 |
| bluek | bazhang:but i not like wine... | 07:07 |
| bazhang | TwoCircuits, in the package manager? of course, but they will not be newest. and maverick will eol after 18 months | 07:07 |
| bazhang | bluek, then give more details | 07:08 |
| TwoCircuits | bazhang - eol? | 07:08 |
| lorenz | I installed madwifi on the laptop and made sure the Atheros card is not blacklisted, but the wifi still does not work...any ideas? | 07:08 |
| bazhang | TwoCircuits, no longer supported (end of life) | 07:08 |
| TwoCircuits | I hope by then the new platform is better than 11.04 | 07:08 |
| TwoCircuits | I have had nothign but issues with it | 07:08 |
| TwoCircuits | thankyou bazhang | 07:09 |
| bazhang | TwoCircuits, welcome | 07:09 |
| TwoCircuits | has anyone else experienced window control malfunctions with 11.04? | 07:09 |
| jx-t | TwoCircuits I do notice som e things work well and others don't but there seem to be alot of new apps for it | 07:09 |
| bazhang | TwoCircuits, in unity? or classic | 07:09 |
| bluek | bazhang:ok...vbox xp ,install cad 2004 finsh,ppen cad no reaction | 07:10 |
| Ileden | Hi! I need to edit the kernel commandline at boot to troubleshoot an issue (I was told to add "radeon.agpmode=-1" to the commandline). I've entered the grub boot menu, but it seems different that what I've used before. Where should the command go? | 07:10 |
| TwoCircuits | bazhang I even experienced it in classic, but primarily unity | 07:10 |
| bazhang | bluek, more details, thats just a repeat | 07:10 |
| bazhang | TwoCircuits, yep, switching theme fixed it for me in classic (was using a kde theme) | 07:10 |
| jx-t | Two Circuits: yup every once in a while the window controls theme changes in unity | 07:10 |
| bluek | ... | 07:11 |
| TwoCircuits | also I was experiencing mouse cursor issues when going to resize a window | 07:11 |
| bazhang | bluek, try #vbox | 07:11 |
| TwoCircuits | and wine was behaving very oddly | 07:11 |
| bluek | bazhang: ok...tks a lot.. | 07:11 |
| jx-t | there is a hardware certification list maybe it's worth checking | 07:12 |
| TwoCircuits | How many people like the app bar on the left side of 11.04 I am curious. | 07:12 |
| TwoCircuits | ? | 07:12 |
| Assid | not me | 07:13 |
| bazhang | TwoCircuits, more of a chat question than support #ubuntu-offtopic please | 07:13 |
| jx-t | not sure I added the cairo bar | 07:13 |
| Assid | its okay.. after i get used ot it :D | 07:13 |
| cba123 | If I did "sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/Server/sdabackup" and I then replace the hard drive with a bigger one, and do "sudo dd if=/media/Server/sdabackup of=/dev/sda" would I be correct in assuming all the partitions would be intact as well as my data? | 07:13 |
| jx-t | does anyone know if the natty software depository has changed or is down? | 07:14 |
| KerrMD | natty (kubuntu) works for me | 07:15 |
| jiltdil | hi my system setting menu is missing from drop down menu from top right how to get it back? | 07:17 |

| RxDx | how can i access my ext4 ubuntu files on windows7? | 07:18 |
| KerrMD | 7 should do it by default if I recall | 07:18 |
| jiltdil | jx-t:Power –> System Settings’ it is missing under power button | 07:18 |
| RxDx | KerrMD, i dont think so | 07:19 |
| lorenz | If the wifi part is screwed up, is it a good idea to simply re-install http://pastebin.com/Vv8Qjjrb? | 07:19 |
| KerrMD | RxDx: I do. It works fine on my dual boot system using kubuntu | 07:19 |
| lorenz | http://pastebin.com/Vv8Qjjrb | 07:19 |
| RxDx | KerrMD, how can u access your files on windows? | 07:19 |
| RxDx | running windows.. access files that is on ext4 partition | 07:20 |
| KerrMD | RxDx: Access my windows files from kubuntu or vice verse? | 07:20 |
| jiltdil | hi my system setting menu is missing from power drop down menu from top right how to get it back? | 07:20 |
| KerrMD | I just do it in explorer as usual | 07:20 |
| RxDx | O_o | 07:20 |
| Ileden | cba123: Yes, I recall having done that succesfully, but it could have just been restoring a backup to the same exact drive... | 07:20 |
| novitololo | I've a question. If I want somebody from outside my local network to "control" my Ubuntu system, what's my best approach? | 07:20 |
| novitololo | I want somebody to be able to open Firefox for example... | 07:21 |
| jiltdil | system setting is missing under poer button how can i get it back? any idea? | 07:21 |

| sunit | When I am giving sudo su , I am getting sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0777, should be 0440 Segmentation fault | 07:27 |
| sunit | please help me | 07:27 |
| bazhang | sunit, never use sudo su | 07:28 |
| jx-t | jiltdil have you tried adding a new power button to the top bar | 07:28 |
| Ileden | I installed xubuntu-desktop and played around with xfce appearance settings. Now that I switch back to Gnome, my appereance has gone back to '90s style. Weirdly enough, changing apperance from Gnome's menu only affect window decorations, not the controls. However, on the apperance dialog itself, and any of it's subdialogs (like customize) do take the full change. Also, when Gnome is loading, the correct apperance flashes on the screen for a sec. How do I fix this? | 07:28 |
| sunit | bazhang: what shall I do ? | 07:28 |
| MaKaTiGuY | newly installed ubuntu server, how can i edit my IP address for me to apt-get update | 07:28 |
| bazhang | sunit, just sudo, sudo -i for a root shell | 07:28 |
| Fuchs | sunit: plus the access rights of your sudoers file are broken. You can boot in single user mode and use chmod to fix that | 07:28 |
| jiltdil | jx-t:the power button is already there | 07:29 |
| jiltdil | jx-t:only the system setting is missing from there | 07:29 |
| bazhang | MaKaTiGuY, edit your ip address? you want to set it static? | 07:29 |
| Fuchs | sunit: plese do never change the access rights of this file. This makes your machine vulnerable, as now everybody could get himself administrative rights on your machine | 07:29 |
| MaKaTiGuY | bazhang: yes sir | 07:29 |
| sunit | bazhang: I am trying with sudo and sudo -i , and getting same result | 07:30 |
| ikonia | MaKaTiGuY: edit the interfaces file | 07:30 |
| jx-t | jiltdil I'm sorry I'm getting used to natty too | 07:30 |
| ikonia | MaKaTiGuY: however you need to make sure you have a valid static address on your network (or from your ISP if this is the internet) | 07:30 |
| Fuchs | sunit: as said, currently the access rights of the file are wrong. Hopefully thats all of it. | 07:30 |
| bazhang | sunit, what did you do to get in that state? | 07:30 |
| MaKaTiGuY | ikonia: yes, we are using static ip configuration | 07:31 |
| Fuchs | sunit: since you don't seem to be able to run sudo anymore, you either have to boot in singleuser mode or use a live system to fix that | 07:31 |
| sunit | Fuchas: I don't know | 07:31 |
| syq | how the /var/run mounted ? I want to make it bigger | 07:31 |
| Fuchs | sunit: could you paste the results of ls -l /etc into a pastebin service, please? | 07:32 |
| syq | In which file , it is set? | 07:32 |
| sunit | Fuchas: How can I boot in single user mode | 07:32 |
| Fuchs | I would like to see the other permissions in there | 07:32 |
| jx-t | jiltdil: can you still access the system menu in your main bar up top? | 07:32 |
| sunit | Fuchas: ok | 07:32 |
| Fuchs | sunit: please use the tab-key to autocomplete nicknames, so you don't write them wrong | 07:32 |
| Fuchs | sunit: it should be selectable in grub, which you get by holding shift after turning the power on | 07:32 |
| jiltdil | jx-t: it is showing in main menu bar but clicking to it doesnot works | 07:32 |
| jx-t | jiltdil: have you rebooted since this happened? | 07:33 |
| html_inprogress | hi | 07:33 |
| jiltdil | jx-t: clicking on the top left and writing here system setting comes but when clicking it it doesnot work,this problem is from last two days and i rebboted almost many times :) | 07:34 |
| Fuchs | sunit: as soon as you are there (single user mode), you can set chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers but first I would like to see ls -l, so I am sure that no further permissions are messed up | 07:34 |
| jx-t | jiltdil: i'm not sure what is causing this | 07:35 |
| jiltdil | jx-t:me too | 07:35 |
| Heron_Marked | Hi ya'll. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. My PC seems to freeze a couple of times a day. I listen to music/pod casts and the audio still goes, but I cannot select anything. I can move the mouse, but I can't click or focus on anything. I have checked the net but nothing there seems to handle it. Any suggestions? | 07:35 |
| jiltdil | jx-t:unity is giving problem | 07:36 |
| jx-t | jiltdil:which version did you upgrade from? | 07:37 |
| jiltdil | jx-t; oh i didnot upgraded i just fresly installed on the release date buddy | 07:37 |
| XVampireX | Hey folks help me out here, I'm trying to help a friend with ubuntu, I installed through wubi for now, and it logs in the first time fine, then I try to connect to wifi (mobile broadband router) and it just completely freezes the PC, I can't do an X restart nor go to shell | 07:37 |
| XVampireX | it's an eeepc 1001px | 07:38 |
| XVampireX | seems kinda weird | 07:38 |
| Tomppis | i installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS and works fine | 07:38 |
| Tomppis | tried 11.04 but was problems | 07:38 |
| XVampireX | with what exactly? | 07:38 |
| d3mom_ | d3mom: y | 07:40 |
| Tomppis | classic gnome ubuntu is much better that new unity desktop | 07:40 |
| Tomppis | than that* | 07:40 |
| anli_ | tomas, a total stranger, was trying to send me FoxitReader10_Linux_enu_i386.sh | 07:40 |
| jiltdil | Tomppis:that's right | 07:41 |
| therap1st | anli_: OPEN IT! | 07:41 |
| jx-t | i've been removing gnomish apps from mine seems to be making things go smoother | 07:41 |
| anli_ | therap1st: Of course I will | 07:41 |
| Tomppis | i am old dos-people, i like simple and basic software ;) | 07:41 |
| therap1st | foxit for free, who'd thought | 07:41 |
| Ileden | XVampireX: I'm using 1001px, but with xubuntu 10.10. I've enconuntered some very weird wlan problems. | 07:41 |
| XVampireX | similar to ours? | 07:42 |
| sunit | Fuchas: ok. please see the url http://www.dpaste.de/TM9C/ | 07:42 |
| XVampireX | Ileden, ? | 07:42 |
| Ileden | XVampireX: I'm typing here :) | 07:43 |
| XVampireX | ok | 07:43 |
| Ileden | XVampireX: not really. About 30% of times, I can't connect to my home network with "authentication fail" or somesuch. However, works with every other network, and every other computer works with my home wlan. | 07:43 |
| Ileden | XVampireX: also, it works like a charm on window 7 dualboot side... | 07:44 |
| Ileden | XVampireX: One thing you might want to try is use ndiswrapper to use windows side wlan drivers on linux. However, didn't help for me. | 07:44 |
| XVampireX | Ok | 07:45 |
| XVampireX | I'll try | 07:45 |
| neumaennl | hi, is there an IM client for ubuntu that allows videochat via ICQ? | 07:45 |
| === tylerdma1e is now known as tylerdmace | ||
| Ileden | XVampireX: Also, the ath9k driver (or, well, "kernel module" may be the correct term) has some parameters you can try messing around with to see if there's a difference. | 07:46 |
| vibhav | How do i idntify myself? | 07:46 |
| jiltdil | is ubuntu coming in both gnome and unity for 11.04 | 07:46 |
| vibhav | done | 07:47 |
| Ileden | XVampireX: ath9k is the driver linux, well at least 10.10, uses for the 1001px wlan card. | 07:47 |
| vibhav | <Ileden> what is the problem dude? | 07:47 |
| vibhav | <Ileden> what is the problem dude? | 07:48 |
| Ileden | vibhav: hm? I never wrote that. If you're trying to address me, you should use "Ileden: <your message>" formatting here on IRC | 07:48 |
| Ileden | vibhav: that formatting makes it look to us like yuo're quoting my earlier message. | 07:48 |
| vibhav | Ileden : what is the problem dude? | 07:49 |
| vibhav | Ileden : Fine? | 07:49 |
| bestwithu | Hello, Could anyone tell me as to download "universal usb installer" on ubuntu and make "Windows 7" boot-able usb stick? | 07:50 |
| vibhav | bestwithu : universal usb installer is only for Linux Distros | 07:50 |
| vibhav | LOL | 07:50 |
| bestwithu | ok so anyother way to make "Windows 7" bootable? | 07:51 |
| Madpilot | bestwithu, this is not a Windows support channel, thanks. | 07:51 |
| Ileden | vibhav: My problem is this: I installed xubuntu-desktop and played around with xfce appearance settings. Now that I switch back to Gnome, my appereance has gone back to '90s style.

| bestwithu | ok thanks | 07:52 |
| vibhav | Ileden can i get a screenshot? | 07:52 |
| Ileden | bestwithu: there's a pretty good #windows channel on the same network, so you can try there | 07:52 |
| freehck | omg, why stupid SED dont know lazy quantification? :( | 07:53 |
| Ileden | vibhav: Sure, what do you want it to show? | 07:53 |
| XVampireX | Hmm | 07:53 |
| bestwithu | <Ileden> thank......s | 07:53 |
| freehck | i spent 30 minutes for tis regexp... :( | 07:53 |
| XVampireX | Ileden, how do I know the parameters? | 07:53 |
| XVampireX | is there no way to debug this other than trial and error? | 07:53 |
| [A]ddicted | is it possible to enable modules without recompiling kernel? | 07:54 |
| XVampireX | and last but not least question is how to connect to wlan via console | 07:54 |
| XVampireX | via shell^ | 07:54 |
| Ileden | XVampireX: I wish I knew if there was one :) Let me check the parameters, I have the old notes from when I tried to troubleshoot the wlan isuue. | 07:54 |
| vibhav | Ileden : Can I get a screenshoT? | 07:54 |
| Ileden | vibhav: yes. What do you want the screenshot to show? | 07:54 |
| XVampireX | so I can try going to recovery at least, with no graphical user interface | 07:55 |
| vibhav | Ileden everything | 07:55 |
| vibhav | Ileden You have 11.04? | 07:55 |
| kiffer | which is the best download software on Ubuntu | 07:55 |
| XVampireX | but probably it's still the wlan module that misbehaves | 07:55 |
| XVampireX | because it only happened when I did that... | 07:55 |
| Ileden | vibhav: I don't understand what you mean by everythnig. Yes, its 11.04. | 07:55 |
| XVampireX | also I should tell you that I installed 11.04 via wubi for now due to lack of CDs ;P | 07:55 |
| vibhav | Ileden Oh... you mean this http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.starkeith.net/coredump/wp-content/uploads//2011/05/ubuntu-classic-desktop.png&imgrefurl=http://www.starkeith.net/coredump/2011/05/02/bringing-back-the-classic-netbook-remix-interface-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/&usg=__w7mL2tAP218WMMqm5csVvk-zOBg=&h=768&w=1024&sz=365&hl=en&start=15&zoom=1&tbnid=YZaHO6eP0tqS-M:&tbnh=113&tbnw=150&ei=eRDWTelJxtitB4bMqO0F&prev=/search%3Fq%3DUbuntu%2BClas | 07:56 |

| hydromet | hello, I've got fresh copy of Ubuntu 9.10 running and noticed that xl2tpd is included -> /usr/sbin/xl2tpd but aptitude says its not installed: aptitude show xl2tpd -> Package: xl2tpd State: not installed .... is it possible that xl2tpd is built-in to Ubuntu without aptitude knowing about it? | 07:56 |
| vibhav | oh noo | 07:56 |
| vibhav | Sorry for flood | 07:57 |
| Ileden | XVampireX: modinfo ath9k shows the parameters available. actually there weren't that many, it seems only "debug" and "nohwcrypt" | 07:57 |
| [A]ddicted | is it possible to enable modules without recompiling kernel? | 07:57 |
| XVampireX | [A]ddicted, Yes.... | 07:57 |
| Ileden | [A]ddicted: AFAIK yes. | 07:57 |
| vibhav | Ileden http://www.starkeith.net/coredump/wp-content/uploads//2011/05/ubuntu-classic-desktop.png | 07:57 |
| vibhav | Like this Ileden? | 07:57 |
| [A]ddicted | XVampireX, what should i check ? | 07:57 |
| [A]ddicted | Ileden, thanx | 07:58 |
| [A]ddicted | what should i check as subject/tools ? | 07:58 |
| Ileden | [A]ddicted: sudo modprobe -r -v [module] to remove it, and sudo modprobe -v [module] [params] to enable. | 07:58 |
| hydromet | [A]ddicted - hi, do you know if its possible for Ubuntu to have a built-in package even though aptitude shows it as not installed? | 07:58 |
| XVampireX | Well basically from what I know you can ENABLE a module, but that's only if you have it already precompiled | 07:58 |
| Ileden | [A]ddicted: AFAIK though, I'm NOT an expert on kernel modules. Not even a beginner... | 07:59 |
| [A]ddicted | hydromet, i'm using backtrack's distro ans when i tried module compile it revealed it was disabled, is it built-in in the kernel so i MUST recompile it, or i can enable that feature using some trick? thanx | 08:00 |
| Ileden | vibhav: ok, I'll take a shot like that. I'll even throw in some windows for extra :) | 08:00 |
| vibhav | Ileden give me then | 08:01 |
| hydromet | [A]ddicted: yikes, I'm not sure I can answer your question, I'm not advanced enough in my knowledge about Ubuntu, very sorry | 08:01 |
| vibhav | [A]ddicted what is your problem? | 08:01 |
| strae | which is the last 'official' kernel for ubuntu lucid 10.04.2 amd64 desktop? | 08:01 |
| hydromet | vibhav its ok, I think he needs help understanding something complicated | 08:01 |
| neumaennl | hi, is there an IM client for ubuntu that allows videochat via ICQ? | 08:02 |
| vibhav | 2.6.38 strae | 08:02 |
| [A]ddicted | vibhav, i'm using backtrack's distro ans when i tried module compile it revealed it was disabled, is it built-in in the kernel so i MUST recompile it, or i can enable that feature using some trick? thanx | 08:02 |
| Ileden | [A]ddicted: yeah, that's beyond my skills, sorry. | 08:02 |
| [A]ddicted | ok thanx anyway | 08:02 |
| [A]ddicted | what channel should i check? | 08:02 |
| strae | vibhav: oh the 2.6.38 get installed automatically on lucid? | 08:02 |
| hydromet | [A]ddicted you might have better luck posting to a mailing list / user forum? | 08:03 |
| rww | [A]ddicted: Backtrack isn't supported in #ubuntu. | 08:03 |
| [A]ddicted | rww, it uses its distro doesnt it? | 08:03 |
| vibhav | <strae> NOOO | 08:03 |
| rww | [A]ddicted: Backtrack is an unofficial derivative of Ubuntu. #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and official derivatives thereof. | 08:03 |
| vibhav | <[A]ddicted> Compiling what? | 08:03 |
| sunit | Fuchas: ok. please see the url http://www.dpaste.de/TM9C/ | 08:03 |

| [A]ddicted | i c | 08:04 |
| rww | vibhav: FloodBot is not sentient, and is in any case not capable of doing what you request of it. | 08:04 |
| [A]ddicted | vibhav, compiling a kernel module | 08:04 |
| hydromet | vibhave does he mean 2.6.38 Linux or Openswan VPN? | 08:04 |
| vibhav | rww what did I request? | 08:05 |
| strae | vibhav: my ethernet card doesnt work with the kernel that coes with the cd (2.6.32), i installed manually kernel 2.6.38 but now the computer freeze when i shut it down; i need to try other kernel >= 2.6.32 but i have to download them from synaptic while using 2.6.38. Which one shuld i choose? | 08:05 |

| kostodo | Apache2 by default runs as www-data user? | 08:08 |
| rww | kostodo: yes | 08:08 |
| strae | please guys suggest me on what kernel try in order to use both my ethernet card and a 'normal' shutdown behavior | 08:08 |
| kostodo | rww: so if i need a couple of users to be able to manage the files in /var/www what should I do? | 08:08 |

| zeropointo | KatronixSerf: just use classic? | 08:22 |
| DJones | !classic | KatronixSerf | 08:22 |
| ubottu | KatronixSerf: 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. | 08:22 |
| XVampireX | Ileden, probably some tab auto completion | 08:22 |
| _sara_ | i need windows for somethings | 08:22 |

| Ileden | XVampireX: I'm not arguing unity is good. I haven't tried it much yet. But I don't like to stick to old models only because of familiarity. THat's only me, of course. | 08:24 |

Weirdly enough, changing apperance from Gnome's menu only affect window decorations, not the controls.

Also, when Gnome is loading, the correct apperance flashes on the screen for a sec. screenshot: http://ile | 08:25 |

| jsnmtth | What is odd is that it doesn't connect me to the channels I've autocofigured. | 08:58 |
| jsnmtth | ohh ... that is possible | 08:58 |
| nraic | In Ubuntu 11.04 where do minimised windows go? Mine seem to disappear. I can only see them when alt-tabbing. | 08:58 |
| jsnmtth | btw, Do you like Unity? | 08:58 |
| Gumby | did you set the network to auto connect on startup as well? | 08:58 |
| Gumby | jsnmtth, I just installed tonight... so far I dont mind it a lot. I added an oldschool panel at the bottom for open applications | 08:58 |
| jsnmtth | It came up and then disappeared | 08:58 |
| jsnmtth | I played with it a little in VirtualBox, and didn't really like it. | 08:59 |
| Gumby | jsnmtth, kinda annoyed by pidgin system tray not working as well | 08:59 |
| Gumby | its more "macish" | 08:59 |
| jsnmtth | It is funny, I disliked Windows 95+ for being macish, and GNU/Linux is doing the same thing. | 09:00 |
| Gumby | put the unity launcher on the bottom and its darn close to using a mac desktop heh | 09:00 |
| nraic | Does anyone else minimised windows in 11.04 disappear? and can only be reopened using alt-tab. | 09:01 |
| jsnmtth | It seems to me that it takes more clicks to do anything ... but I've only messed around with it for a few minutes | 09:01 |
| jsnmtth | Gumby, yes the Ubuntu Network was configured to auto-connect me to this channel | 09:01 |
| Kevin_Flynn | Network Manager says I'm connected to wireless internet. But, I cannot ping. "network unreachable.' Or reach a website while "right on top of' router. xubuntu 10.10. | 09:01 |
| Gumby | jsnmtth, I figured as much | 09:01 |
| jsnmtth | Thanks for your help! It's been nice chatting. | 09:02 |
| Gumby | jsnmtth, no problem | 09:02 |

| ryankask | whenever Google Chrome loses focus, the window brightens. 1) does anyone else notice this? 2) How can I make it stop? | 09:11 |
| Ileden | ryankask: 1) yup, noticed it, and I hate it too. 2) no idea. | 09:12 |
| ryankask | Ileden: is this from a new update or has it been this way all along (I just switched to a huge monitor) | 09:13 |
| === Blade is now known as blade3 | ||

| dromar | Hi, I need some help with termcaps... any way to get the cursor position on the terminal ? | 09:14 |
| Ileden | ryankask: hey, I have an idea on how to fix it... maybe using an alternative theme would have a different effect. | 09:15 |
| ryankask | Ileden: unfortunately not having any effect | 09:16 |
| Ileden | ryankask: now that i think of it, heh, I'm actually using an alternative theme :) so could be a recent change for the classic theme :D | 09:16 |
| ryankask | Ileden: also happens in firefox... are you using natty? | 09:19 |
| webb | Permission denied (publickey) when trying remote portforward ssh tunnel, any pointers? | 09:19 |
| Ileden | ryankask: yes, but I'm using ubuntu classic. Firefox doesn't do it on my system. | 09:19 |
| Kevin_Flynn | Network Manager says I'm connected to wireless internet. But, I cannot ping. "network unreachable.' Or reach a website while "right on top of' router. xubuntu 10.10. | 09:20 |
| ryankask | Ileden: it also only happens when a window with a light background loses focus to a window with a dark background... maybe our eyes are playing tricks? | 09:21 |
| ryankask | i.e. chrome to terminal or emacs w/ black background | 09:21 |
| ryankask | Ileden: Chrome's brightness changes when Xchat loses focus to emacs or the terminal so i think it has to do with some auto contrast settings or seomthing | 09:22 |
| Kevin_Flynn | HOW do I close network manager? | 09:23 |
| Dynetrax | I love Ubuntu Linux | 09:23 |
| Ileden | ryankask: yeah, must be. I don't see any such effect. | 09:23 |
| Dynetrax | I Do Not Love Unity | 09:23 |
| Ileden | ryankask: but chrome does brighten quite a bit when it loses focus, on all themes. | 09:24 |
| Ileden | Dynetrax: But Ubuntu Linux Love Unity. So that's a nice triangle drama you have going on there... it'd be a beautiful polyamorous relationship otherwise. :( | 09:25 |
| Kevin_Flynn | HOW do I close network manager? | 09:25 |
| Dynetrax | Unity is a cool concept, it was just prematurely born imo | 09:25 |
| Ileden | Dynetrax: I'm not sure it really loves unity yet, though. Maybe it old has a crush on it so far. :) | 09:25 |
| Kevin_Flynn | Or turn it off so I could try wicd | 09:26 |

| Ileden | Hi! I'm having some weird performance issues - the window draw operations seem to take way too much time, for example when switching workspace, even with three windows the redraw is clearly visible. Dialog boxes also take strangely long to appear. | 09:39 |
| Ileden | The issue appears both on xfce and gnome, and changing between fglrx and radeon drivers doesn't cause any difference. Any help on this issue is appreciated. I'm using Radeon HD 3650 (agp) on Ubuntu 11.04, people on #radeon haven't been able to help. Could this be something other than a display driver issue? | 09:40 |

| Ileden | Dynetrax: happens both with compiz and without. | 09:41 |

| Dynetrax | i had that problem but i just turned off sync to vblank option | 09:41 |

| Ileden | Dynetrax: yeah. I'm guessing it's a problem with radeon drivers, os I guess I'll have to switch cards. | 09:41 |

| Dynetrax | yeah in the Compiz config settings manager | 09:42 |

| Soothsayer | dcorking, oh, Ctrl + H did the trick | 10:00 |
| Soothsayer | I'm not sure why it's treated as a hidden file | 10:00 |

| liminal | okay.. thanks for all your help (shame about unity) | 10:02 |
| Kegster | i think aslong as you set it to classic it sticks, atleast it has for me | 10:02 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, thanks - I think -f would force it, but I am trying to run cdromupgrade, so I am not sure if forcing the upgrades would achieve what I want | 10:02 |
| liminal | are there any themes or customisations to make unity.. better yet? | 10:02 |

| mesaber | hello | 10:03 |
| DevilSOlution | binding or mounting temp + home folder to a new drive | 10:03 |
| DevilSOlution | any idea's? | 10:03 |
| Kegster | is it just a mount command? | 10:04 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, ubuntu-desktop is a meta package (as I guess you know) - I want to upgrade all the packages on my box from maverick to natty, breaking or deleting as few as possible ... | 10:04 |
| dcorking | ... so I just want to figure out what the held broken packages are - so I can figure out if I need to drill down deeper | 10:05 |
| mathews | liminal: find it http://omgubuntu.co.uk/natty/#launcher | 10:05 |
| mesaber | I have downloaded mysql and extracted the .tar file and it gave me 6 .rpm files. how do i install it please? | 10:05 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, no i didnt know that ive only had ununtu a week but when i upgraded to natty the only problem i had was wit that python file, you actually tried upgrading yet? i dont see the issue? | 10:05 |
| DevilSOlution | when you apt-get upgrade it will tell youwhats broken i think? | 10:05 |
| DevilSOlution | i had some command that told me hold up | 10:05 |
| DevilSOlution | do you know you have broken packages? | 10:06 |
| DevilSOlution | it may be a dkpg command | 10:07 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, ok - the error message tells me I have broken packages - but I don't know which ones - I guess there is an aptitude or apt or dpkg command that will list them | 10:07 |
| mesaber | I have downloaded mysql and extracted the .tar file and it gave me 6 .rpm files. how do i install it please? | 10:07 |
| mathews | to fix brocken packages type "sudo dpkg --configure -a" in terminal.Or apt-get install -f | 10:07 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, thanks for helpful suggestions - I will ask on a debian channel | 10:07 |
| YankDownUnder | mesaber, Um...why didn't you just install MySQL thru the package manager mate? | 10:08 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, mathew just said it, its hte sudo dpkg --configure -a | 10:08 |
| dcorking | mathews, thanks! what does the first command do | 10:08 |
| mathews | !fix brocken packages | 10:08 |
| ubottu | mathews: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:08 |
| mesaber | YanKDownUnder, i wanna get my hands dirty with the code, you know :) | 10:09 |
| DevilSOlution | can someone help me? maybe one-on-one? | 10:09 |
| dcorking | mathews, all of them? | 10:09 |
| mathews | dcorking: only one | 10:09 |
| DevilSOlution | i need to know how to map/mount/bind my temp file + home folder to a new disk drive | 10:09 |
| DevilSOlution | ive already given myself permission | 10:09 |
| YankDownUnder | mesaber, Right oh... well, you might consider just downloading the TAR/GZIP version instead - otherwise, you'll have to convert the RPM's to DEB's... | 10:10 |
| dcorking | mathews, thanks - then I need to know the name of the package that is broken - but the error message from the upgrade script doesn't tell me - as far as I can see | 10:10 |
| mesaber | YanKDownUnder, how do i convert them please? | 10:10 |
| mathews | dcorking: I dont know more about it | 10:10 |
| eoss | hello, when i dl tar files where should i put them, in my home folder? also, how do i get the commands to start them from shell? | 10:11 |
| eoss | without having to navigate | 10:11 |
| arand | !alien | mesaber | 10:11 |
| ubottu | mesaber: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 10:11 |
| Kegster | dcorking: the error message tells you waht file though? | 10:11 |
| mathews | !broken packages | 10:12 |
| kostodo | when i download a file form the internet are its file permissions retained from the original file? | 10:12 |
| SuperLag | I don't get rsync --delete. I thought it would delete files from $DESTINATION that were no longer present at $SOURCE | 10:12 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, what part of mount didn't work? | 10:12 |
| SuperLag | but that's not happening | 10:12 |
| mesaber | ok, thanks YankDownUner,arand,ubottu | 10:12 |
| arand | eoss: You do not "start" tar archives, you unarchive them.. Which can be done via the "tar" command, read "man tar" | 10:12 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i havent tried mounting yet i was wondering the command and syntax | 10:12 |
| SuperLag | rsync -avz --delete sourcedir/* destdir/. | 10:13 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i dont like messing my system up ;) | 10:13 |
| SuperLag | but if I delete from sourcedir, they're not getting deleted from the destination :/ | 10:13 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, have you put filesystem(s) on the new drive yet? | 10:13 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i know one of my temp files are in a the root folder so i wanted to be sure | 10:13 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, yes i have | 10:13 |
| dcorking | ok - do you know the device names of the new empty filesystems yet ? | 10:14 |
| DevilSOlution | i had to do a chown on the mount in /media, but im not sure how to mount files to the new drive | 10:14 |
| DevilSOlution | like as in its device name? | 10:14 |
| DevilSOlution | im confused, it has 1 folder on the new device | 10:15 |
| DevilSOlution | and i have its name yes | 10:15 |
| DevilSOlution | i know what folder i want to mount to it also | 10:15 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, don't take this the wrong way - I think you need to read a tutorial about mount ... | 10:15 |
| DevilSOlution | okay np | 10:16 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, as you seem to be doing this backwards. | 10:16 |
| DevilSOlution | ty | 10:16 |
| DevilSOlution | what do you mean? | 10:16 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, all ive done so far is given myself permission to the new drive | 10:16 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, all im asking is for the syntax of the mount command | 10:17 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, well you want to end up mounting a mount point (folder) to a filesystem - not the other way round | 10:17 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, man mount :) | 10:17 |
| DevilSOlution | lol okay, i hate man files but ill do it | 10:17 |
| dcorking | if you have the new drive in /media then it is already mounted | 10:17 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, then avoid the man page | 10:18 |
| dcorking | anyone suggest a good tutorial on mount? | 10:18 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, alright what im saying is my drive is mounted yes but i want to mount certain files and folder to that device | 10:18 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i presumed the device mounted in media wouldnt work without it being mounted as its a secondary HD | 10:19 |

| mathews | conighion_: run the "additional drivers from the system" | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | conighion_: is it a laptop? | 10:23 |
| conighion_ | no desktop | 10:24 |
| mathews | conighion_: run the "additional drivers" and see any driver need to be installed for ur sound card | 10:24 |
| shibuya109 | Which log do I need to check to find out why my 10.04 server keeps crashing? I don't see anything suspicious in syslog | 10:24 |
| conighion_ | additional drivers from the system... only for vga | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | conighion_: if you run: alsamixer are all the levels cranked and unmuted? are the speakers turned on, powered and turned up? | 10:24 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, the problem with your question is that linux can only mount one mount point to one filesystem at a time - so you need to read more about mount and be really clear about what directories you want to be physically where on your system - the tutorial that mathews suggested should help - then come back to IRC for more specific advice | 10:25 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, did you get my pm? | 10:25 |
| conighion_ | ActionParsnip_: I have logitec z5500... conected to my soundcard via optical.. Alsamixer has S.PDIF which is not muted but 00 and i cannot change it | 10:27 |

| tonkafu | Luci4n0: yes i am using wireless to connect | 10:33 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: have you tried it wired? and is your pc connected to the same router? | 10:34 |
| dcorking | do you mean you want to __move__ your whole /home/keg directory there, or just have it as a subdirectory of keg/ ? | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | tonkafu: try a few options, there are lots of switches there. You need to restart the smbd service after the change to apply settings | 10:35 |
| tonkafu | yes it is connected to the same router and i haven't tried it wired | 10:35 |
| tonkafu | i did restart the service | 10:35 |

| josmala | I have some questions about this new ubuntu UI: Is there a way to configure that in new UI I could keep the menu with the window when the application is not in fullscreen mode? | 10:37 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, all files like downlaods and my temp files that get downloaded and used alot need to be stored on my new device | 10:37 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: both wired to the same router might make a lot of difference, depending on your current wireless speed. | 10:37 |
| SoulRaven | hi, please help me with a problem | 10:37 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, are you using irc from the machine in question? | 10:37 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, yes | 10:37 |
| SoulRaven | i can't set the permision on a usb modem | 10:37 |
| SoulRaven | after restart that permisson is restarted to default | 10:38 |
| SoulRaven | i use chmod a+rw /dev/ttyUSB1 | 10:38 |
| tonkafu | Luci4n0: i used the same setup till a couple of says ago in kubuntu 10.01 lts it worked fine till then | 10:38 |
| SoulRaven | but after restart that permision is missing | 10:38 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, when you copy your files over, you will lose your latest irc logs and settings - and any other work you have open | 10:38 |
| DevilSOlution | chown username device | 10:38 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, that shouldnt be an issue | 10:39 |
| DevilSOlution | SoulRaven, i think you have to change the owner not modify | 10:39 |
| DevilSOlution | SoulRaven, try chown command | 10:39 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: that is weird. | 10:39 |
| mithran | if i use tsclient to take remote desktop of another ubuntu machine, how do i come out of full screen mode? | 10:40 |
| tonkafu | Luci4n0: it is taking quite a while longer to load files and folders now. it takes upto a minute to open a movie file for instance | 10:40 |
| dcorking | SoulRaven, I think the device node is created automatically, so chown and chmod won't fix it permanently - unfortunately I don't know / can't remember what will | 10:40 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i have irssi and xchat and have saved only 1 log that matters, but i need to clear up some space | 10:40 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: exact same setup, you just upgraded your kubuntu?! | 10:41 |
| tonkafu | Luci4n0: there used to be a small lag for the large files before but never this much | 10:41 |
| SoulRaven | dcorking: and what is the solution? any ideea? | 10:41 |
| tonkafu | Luci4n0: no fresh install on a different hdd | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | mithran: Ctrl+Alt+Enter possibly? | 10:41 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i have ubuntu on wubi and have 50gb free on the HD but gpart wont allow me to increase the size of ubuntu's part so i have had to install a new drive | 10:41 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, make sure you have a backup of all important stuff - it is _very_ easy to blow stuff away when copying and moving files or making filesystems | 10:41 |

| DevilSOlution | dcorking, okay the only thing that matters to me is on the new drive, about 3gb of wallpapers, but i have no space to backup anyway so ill risk it, i just cant risk breaking ubuntu | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | mithran: if you use desktop effects then you may need extra steps outlined there | 10:42 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, you can usually increase size of partitions as long as they are not in use - for example when using a Live CD - did you try that? (again - do a backup first) | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | mithran: I don't use this by the way, all I am doing is websearching... | 10:43 |
| SoulRaven | i have changed the chown to another user, but after restart the owner is restarted to default | 10:43 |

| dcorking | you will defintely lose everything on the new drive - at least with the simpler and most efficient solutions | 10:43 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i dont have a live disk handy, i installed using wubi off a usb drive on xp, now xp has died totally but ubuntu still has a 9gb file it uses from xp so i cant delte and i cant modify the partition because its ntfs and ubuntu is in their | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mithran: have you not seen this stuff? | 10:44 |
| vietred | well, I've just install nvidia-current to make dual screen works, but I can't reconfig X using nvidia-xconfig since there are only nvidia-detector and nvidia-settings, any idea? | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | mithran: or is my browser just better :D | 10:44 |
| josmala | The other question is that: Is there a reasonable way of having two different sets of apps open in the new UI? (Tho users sharing a pc, want to keep apps running on background when otherone is using it) | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | vietred: how did you install the driver? | 10:44 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i just wanna try mount these files to my new drive, that keeps me happy for now | 10:44 |

| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: check this out => http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?action=printpage;topic=3116588.0 | 10:44 |
| ActionParsnip | SoulRaven: then add the chown in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line | 10:45 |
| DevilSOlution | SoulRaven, im sorry i dont know then | 10:45 |
| vietred | ActionParsnip: I used the command: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 10:45 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, do you have a backup of your xp files? that is in danger too - I can't guarantee that following irc ideas or tutorials will keep it safe | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | vietred: cool, then it should have install nvidia-settings | 10:45 |
| mithran | ActionParsnip, hmm, was doing a lot of google searches to get the vncserver working, got a little lazy, + i just had lunch so...:) | 10:46 |
| mithran | ActionParsnip, thanks checking the links out | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | mithran: no problem, what activites do you do on the remote system? | 10:46 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, woste case scenario i have an xp disk and key and i can start fro mthe beggining, the xp files are already dead but the partition needs to stay, i thought were only moving my /home/keg folder and var/cache/apt folfer | 10:46 |
| Momoka | i haven't sound in my ubuntu, how do? | 10:46 |
| vietred | ActionParsnip: yes, when I use nvidia-settings, it tell me to use the driver by using nvidia-xconfig as root | 10:46 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: not really a solution, but there just seems to be a samba issue in kubuntu 11.04 | 10:46 |
| mithran | running IO, trying to reproduce a data coruption issue | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | vietred: then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 10:47 |
| enav | some knows how to install ANT on Eclipse Helios here???? | 10:47 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i feel like getting rid of xp anyway but for now this seemed easier than starting from scratch | 10:47 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: maybe have a look around on the kubuntu forums, to check if anyone found a solution. | 10:47 |
| vietred | ActionParsnip: I can't :( there is nothing like that | 10:47 |
| vietred | ActionParsnip: sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found | 10:48 |
| tonkafu | Luci4n0: i am on ubuntu 11.04 | 10:48 |
| tonkafu | i used to be on kubuntu | 10:48 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i guess moving the folder to my new drive is better than mounting then?# | 10:48 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, ok - I think a symlink might suit you better - as otherwise I would suggest repartitioning your new drive with two filesystems - one for /home/keg and the other for /var | 10:48 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, either way you need to copy everything from your home folder to wherever you want the new home to be | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | vietred: sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig maybe | 10:49 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, whats symlink? i literally just want my new drive to be the home of these 2 directories, i can re-partition my new drive again if i need but the temp file will be fairly small anyway | 10:50 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: ok | 10:50 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: give me a sec | 10:50 |
| dan__ | helo, is there a way to recover a deleted file from an ext4 filesystem? if yes please provide some details on how to do that... | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | dan__: use your backups | 10:50 |
| vietred | ActionParsnip: I tried that, but failed, there is no package named nvidia-xconfig | 10:50 |
| annihilate | hi | 10:51 |
| dan__ | ActionParsnip: thanks for the tip but I mean recovering files deleted from a filesystem and not restoring them | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | vietred: I just ran: dpkg -S nvidia-xconfig and got: nvidia-173: /usr/lib/nvidia-173/bin/nvidia-xconfig | 10:51 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: reading same slow samba posts on ubuntu forums .. let me check further. | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | dan__: then you can use scalpel or foremost, you should really look into backups | 10:52 |
| dcorking | dan__ first - stop using the filesystem immediately - then make an image of it - with dd or similar - then use a forensics program like autopsy | 10:53 |
| Soothsayer | I've installed apache and I'm storing my web files in a directory under /home/myuser/projects/www/ | 10:53 |
| Soothsayer | what should I be doing on the permissions part? | 10:53 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, a symlink is a kind of shortcut that the machine can follow | 10:54 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, so im copying my home/username directory to my new drive right? | 10:54 |
| dan__ | dcorking: mm.. looks like a lot of work :( i just want to restore a single file from my /root filesystem on laptop.. in past i used recovery programs under windows and they were recovered quickly.. is there a similar tool under linux? | 10:54 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, sure - before you can use it - you need a copy | 10:54 |
| DevilSOlution | okie dokie | 10:55 |
| dcorking | dan__ - don't know - I always do it the hard way! | 10:55 |
| mistral_ | which is the best site to get some vmware images for ubuntu? | 10:55 |
| mistral_ | I am looking for 64-bit versions of the vmware image for ubuntu | 10:56 |
| dan__ | eh.. i thought a file system like ext4 is powerfull enough to restore a single file in case of accedental removal.. i know we should be carefull.. but such tools must exist on opensource filesystems.. :( | 10:57 |
| theadmin | dan__: google "testdisk". | 10:57 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, if you will be using symlinks then make a subdirectory in your new drive to contain all your copies | 10:57 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: here is a complete install and setup of samba on the ubuntu forums, check the settings in the howto with yours. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 Maybe its just a setting. | 10:57 |

| stimpie | mistral_: thoughtpolice.co.uk has a few but they are slow updating lately | 10:58 |
| dan__ | theadmin: great :D u think i can retore my file with it? | 10:58 |
| vietred | ActionParsnip: thank you, I found it :D | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | dan__: you will need to boot to liveCD so the file system isn't mounted | 10:58 |
| mistral_ | I got some from thoughtpolice.co.uk...but there was no sound on the 64-bit one I downloaded. | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | dan__: you don't have to be careful, you just need a good backup | 10:59 |
| theadmin | dan__: Could be. Well, not with Testdisk itself, but with a part of it called "photorec". | 10:59 |
| mathews | mistral_: http://www.virtualbox.org/ | 10:59 |
| mistral_ | @stimpie: I got some from thoughtpolice.co.uk...but there was no sound on the 64-bit one I downloaded. | 10:59 |

| tonkafu | Luci4n0: ok ty ill try it | 11:01 |
| MethedMan | is there a way to turn on/off the grub menu | 11:01 |
| dan__ | ActionParsnip: Things happen.. you can not take daily backup from your own laptop.. i lost a file and was wondering how to restore it.. I am not talking about a critical server that has deleted files.. in that case I would be having backups for sure :) | 11:01 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: To copy folders, use "cp -r source source source ... target" | 11:01 |
| === Robert_ is now known as Guest71589 | ||
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: ok .. good luck | 11:02 |

| DevilSOlution | theadmin, ty, now its just flashing with a marker | 11:03 |
| dan__ | ActionParsnip: good for you :) | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | dan__: laptops should especially be backed up as they are easier to damage due to dropping and such more than a stationary tower | 11:03 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, you need the '-r' flag to recursively copy a directory with cp , and the '-p' flag to preserve permissions | 11:03 |
| mnemoc | hi, how can I list (from command line) the packages offered by a given ppa? | 11:04 |

| ActionParsnip | dan__: if yur data is important, it should be backed up, its really that simple. Drive motors can and do fail, then no amount of software can get the data back. Where is your data then? | 11:04 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, why do you think that? | 11:04 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, its just flashing with a marker | 11:04 |
| bartavelle | hello, every morning, starting around 7am, my servers want to go directly to an IP from the archive.ubuntu.com pool (http). The problem is that i did setup apt proxy, and it works well (unattended-upgrades do work). Is there something I'm missing ? | 11:05 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: Just wait till it gives you the prompt back | 11:05 |
| DevilSOlution | okay | 11:05 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, probably still working - can you paste your cp command here? | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | dan__: if the data you want to recover has been overwritten with new data since the removal then it is gone | 11:05 |
| DevilSOlution | cp -r home/keg media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba | 11:05 |

| dan__ | ActionParsnip: the file is less than 1MB.. | 11:06 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: That doesn't look right | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mnemoc: not sure via cli, you could head over to the ppa web page and view the packages there | 11:06 |
| DevilSOlution | how do i quit the command? | 11:06 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: Try like: cp -r /home/keg /media/that-huge-number-thingy | 11:06 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: To stop the execution, hit Ctrl+C | 11:06 |
| dan__ | ActionParsnip: my /root is around 200GB free space.. so there is a good chance it is there somewhere :) | 11:06 |

| ActionParsnip | dan__: boot to livecd and use foremost | 11:08 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: Looks right. | 11:08 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, now wait a few minutes - when you get the prompt back - it has silently succeeded :) | 11:08 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: To make sure it's doing stuff right: cp -rpv /home/keg /media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba | 11:08 |
| DevilSOlution | okie dokie its the flashing marker again | 11:08 |
| mnemoc | ActionParsnip: thanks for the pointer :) looks good | 11:08 |
| DevilSOlution | ohhh damn okay | 11:08 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Symlink | 11:10 |
| ActionParsnip | mnemoc: look at the code as the thread is about removing | 11:10 |
| DevilSOlution | theadmin, dcorking, okay the original command has worked but with the -p parameter it has flagged lots of permission issues | 11:11 |
| DevilSOlution | its like this | 11:11 |
| DevilSOlution | cp: cannot create regular file `/media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba/keg/Downloads/jre1.6.0_24/README': Permission denied | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | mnemoc: works well :) | 11:11 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, could you paste a typical output to paste.lisp.org and post the link here? | 11:11 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: Try it with sudo. | 11:12 |
| DevilSOlution | ahh okay | 11:12 |
| theadmin | dcorking: lol lisp | 11:12 |
| dcorking | sudo sounds a bit heavy - DevilSOlution are you logged in as keg or as another user? | 11:12 |
| DevilSOlution | as keg | 11:12 |
| DevilSOlution | its the only user on the system | 11:12 |
| DevilSOlution | all other files copied | 11:13 |
| DevilSOlution | but the jre1 directory has permission issues i guess? | 11:13 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: Odd, I suppose so. | 11:13 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, then there is something wrong if you have permissions issues - keg should be able to read everything in keg's own home | 11:13 |
| DevilSOlution | hmmm | 11:13 |
| mnemoc | ActionParsnip: :) thanks! | 11:14 |
| Israfel | DevilSOlution, is there a file already there by that name that's owned? What is the file system of that mounted drive? | 11:14 |

| gsb | hello all | 11:14 |
| DevilSOlution | i think i may have already copied it, ill check the symlink, i think it has copied it now | 11:15 |
| theadmin | Hello, gsb | 11:15 |
| Israfel | DevilSOlution, I wouldn't be worrying about a README file anyways. if really needed you can make a new file and copy and paste the text. | 11:15 |
| DevilSOlution | okie dokie ill get the symlink now | 11:16 |
| DevilSOlution | only one issue with the sudo version of the command | 11:17 |
| DevilSOlution | cp: cannot stat `/home/keg/.gvfs': Permission denied | 11:17 |

| prashant_123456 | theadmin, this is the command ?? | 11:18 |
| theadmin | prashant_123456: Check it's manual, but generally yes. | 11:18 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, I think it is just 'sudo ln -s /media/that-long-number/keg /home' - but first you need to 'cd /home' then 'sudo rm -R keg' and rm -R is always a scary command to use | 11:18 |

| beacher | Hi,all.How to backup my desktop?My OS is ubtuntu10.10\,desktop environment is gnome. | 11:19 |

| tonkafu | Luci4n0: does it make a difference if i allow guest access and access the shares without using a password? | 11:19 |
| DevilSOlution | is it an important file to copy? | 11:19 |
| dcorking | theadmin, how will DevilSOlution recreate his .gvfs - will it happen automatically when he logs in again? | 11:19 |
| Luci4n0 | tonkafu: its not good practice security wise, but it should not have effect on your speed. | 11:20 |
| theadmin | dcorking: Yeah. | 11:20 |
| theadmin | dcorking: It's some weird GNOME thing. Just don't worry | 11:21 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, .gvfs is an empty directory on my system - if it is the same on yours then it is probably not important at all - and if you find you do need it, make it with mkdir | 11:21 |
| theadmin | dcorking: It's not empty, it's just that only GNOME can read/write to it | 11:21 |
| sunit | when I am scanning with nmap I am getting Port Closed which can be seen in url http://dpaste.de/IcWp/.please help me | 11:21 |

| DevilSOlution | its ln oldfile newfile? | 11:22 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, you can't do the symlink until your home directory has gone away - I don't know if you can do that while logged in as keg - might be safer to create a new admin user and log in as new user | 11:23 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: ln -s TARGET LINKNAME | 11:23 |
| DevilSOlution | so ln /home/keg /media/longnumber/keg | 11:23 |
| DevilSOlution | oh link name | 11:23 |
| DevilSOlution | okay ill make a new admin user | 11:23 |
| theadmin | dcorking: But I think he doesn't want a symlink, he'd probably want to carry his $HOME around. | 11:23 |

| theadmin | DevilSOlution: Is that /media/longnumber a portable device? | 11:24 |
| DevilSOlution | theadmin, ive run out of space on my main HD | 11:24 |
| DevilSOlution | theadmin, no a slave HD | 11:24 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: Oh... I see what you want then | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: use bleachbit to free space | 11:24 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: you can also remove unused kernels to free space too | 11:25 |
| Israfel | DevilSOlution, I'm not sure you can move your home while you're logged in as that account. | 11:25 |
| theadmin | Okay, the whole point is this: create a random folder on that device, move what you had in /home/keg there, then run sudo ln -s /media/longnumber/lolfolder /home/keg | 11:25 |
| sunit | hello,any body can answer refering url http://dpaste.de/IcWp/ | 11:25 |
| theadmin | !repeat | sunit | 11:25 |
| ubottu | sunit: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 11:25 |
| DevilSOlution | well the real problem is that i installed ubuntu using wine whiel in xp and i only gave myself like 15gb partition that gpart cant seem to change, so ive had to put a slave in to increase my space, i want all files that have variable sizes, like temp and home in the new slave HD | 11:25 |
| DevilSOlution | using wine? i meen wubi | 11:26 |
| jamiewan_ | o | 11:26 |
| jamiewan_ | p | 11:26 |
| jamiewan_ | q | 11:26 |
| DevilSOlution | mean* | 11:26 |
| jamiewan_ | sorry bad touchpad | 11:26 |
| DevilSOlution | ill make a new admin user | 11:26 |
| DevilSOlution | cant i log in as in root? or that a bit dangerous? | 11:26 |
| * theadmin blinks at the words "admin user"... This isn't Windows, DevilSOlution | 11:27 | |
| fallingdutch | I have a problem installing 11.04 using Alternate i386 CD: after installing the apt it asks me to change the media. CD and HD are ok. any ideas? | 11:27 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: You can log in as root if you know the root's password | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: can you give the output of: uname -a; echo; dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2 | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: use a pastebin, I can give a command to remove the unused kernels | 11:27 |
| jp__ | hey guys. anyone no if ubuntu will send a 11.04 live cd to Afghanistan? | 11:27 |
| DJones | jp__: Shipit no longer send cd's out | 11:28 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, sure you _could_ log in as root - but ubuntu doesn't have a root password, so you can't until you create one | 11:28 |
| theadmin | jp__: Shipit has closed | 11:28 |
| DJones | !shipit | jp__ | 11:28 |
| ubottu | jp__: Canonical is no longer sending free Ubuntu CDs to individuals through its ShipIt program. For more information please see http://blog.canonical.com/?p=551 !LoCo teams can request CDs through this link https://forms.canonical.com/lococd/ | 11:28 |
| sunit | ubottu: ok | 11:28 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 11:28 |
| jp__ | thanks | 11:28 |
| DevilSOlution | ActionParsnip, i dont really wanna be deleting anything atm | 11:28 |
| DevilSOlution | how can i increase my partition? this is the main problem, i have 50gb free but gpart wont allow me to increase becasue its a windows part | 11:29 |
| mnemoc | jp__: you could try on-disk.com too | 11:29 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, ActionParsnip is right - those old kernels won't be much use | 11:29 |
| coco | hey everyone, anyone ever tried another alternative to flash..any recommandations? | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: each kernel takes up ~120Mb so if you have a lot of kernels you can free up a tonne of space. You cal also run: sudo apt-get clean to clean up the deb cache which can get huge | 11:29 |
| theadmin | coco: There are none | 11:29 |
| redGoat | coco: "youtube-dl" | 11:29 |
| theadmin | I still don't see why do so many distros actually keep old kernels | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | coco: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/flash-alternative-lightspark-0-4-5-released/ | 11:30 |
| redGoat | coco: No flash -- Use it for downloading YouTube clips. :) | 11:30 |
| DevilSOlution | ive used the apt-get clean, i have lots of free space but i cant seem to access it :( | 11:30 |
| Soothsayer | How do I give apache read/write permission to a directory in my home? | 11:30 |
| sunit | ubuttu: can you answer my question ? | 11:30 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, when logged in as another user (or as keg if you dare) 'sudo mv /home/keg /home/oldkeg' to get your original stuff out of the way without deleting it | 11:30 |
| coco | it's not really just for youtube...its for everything | 11:30 |
| theadmin | sunit: Ubottu is nothing but a program, so it can't | 11:30 |
| jamiewan_ | sunit, ! ask | 11:31 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, ty | 11:31 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, then you can use the ln command how we described to make the symlink | 11:31 |
| jp__ | iv been trying to download a live cd but internet is really slow. | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: i see, strange, have you checked the partitions health using fsck | 11:31 |
| DevilSOlution | ActionParsnip, it wont let me because it says its in use | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: yes, use a livecd / liveusb. You shouldn't fsck a mounted partition | 11:32 |
| DevilSOlution | ive only used it on gui tho, not in the terminal illtest it | 11:32 |
| dcorking | ActionParsnip, DevilSOlution doesn't have a Live CD - or any storage to burn one - so he can't resize partitions on his root drive | 11:32 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: An alternative is this: sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo reboot | 11:32 |
| sunit | theadmin: ok. what shall I do ? | 11:32 |
| DevilSOlution | theadmin, what will it do? | 11:33 |
| theadmin | DevilSOlution: Perform a filesystem check on reboot, which is probably what you want | 11:33 |
| DevilSOlution | this is my last line of fsck | 11:33 |
| DevilSOlution | hmm | 11:33 |
| ActionParsnip | dcorking: I see | 11:34 |
| DevilSOlution | "/host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk: clean, 277479/559728 files, 1768656/2238464 blocks | 11:34 |
| DevilSOlution | " | 11:34 |
| theadmin | sunit: No idea, really, just wait till someone answers | 11:34 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, although there are programs that can shrink your NTFS partition provided it isn't mounted, you will have to use the space to make a new partition as you can't grow your linux partition while it is mounted | 11:34 |
| jamiewan_ | sunit, what is your question again | 11:34 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, and theres no way of unmounting while im on it? | 11:35 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, just had a thought - if you want a live CD - why not download the iso to the free space on your Windows partition, and burn it from there | 11:35 |
| g3oM1 | hi guys how can i install on ubuntu 10.04 LTS the haskkell? | 11:35 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, i cant get into xp, its died | 11:35 |
| theadmin | g3oM1: wut | 11:35 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, not even in safe mode, if i can set my downlaods to the new slave HD i can DL it? | 11:35 |
| DevilSOlution | i have the wubi installer on my pen drive | 11:36 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, you can't get into XP - but your Ubuntu can see it | 11:36 |
| Guest45734 | iptabels ubuntu plz solution | 11:36 |
| DevilSOlution | its how i installed ubuntu originally | 11:36 |
| g3oM1 | the haskell-platform on how can i install it on ubuntu 11.04 LTS? | 11:36 |
| sunit | jamiewan: when I am trying to ssh connect a ubuntu server from differnet IP , the connection timed out. when I am giving nmap the output is given in http://dpaste.de/IcWp/ | 11:36 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, so you want to switch the downlaod files to the windows files or to the new HD? | 11:37 |
| dcorking | DevilSOlution, anywhere you want actually - new HD sounds easier - do you have 700MB there ? | 11:37 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, yeh | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: copy the folder to the new position, then run: ln -s /path/to/new/Downloads ~/Downloads | 11:38 |
| Guest45734 | a | 11:39 |
| Ileden | mozilla prism seems to be removed in 11.04. What could be used instead for the same purpose (having a separate instance of a browser, with no general browser controls, dedicated for a single webapp)? | 11:39 |
| sunit | jamiewan: have you seen ? any suggestion ? | 11:40 |
| DevilSOlution | dcorking, the original ln to the new home folder, whats the second argument? new file path & ? | 11:41 |
| jamiewan_ | sunit, so port 22 is closed, | 11:41 |
| pitpaf | I Cant get my xmodmap to load at startup whats the proper way to do it? | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | pitpaf: add a startup item and it should be ok. Does this not make it work? | 11:42 |
| schnuffle | pitpaf: you mean at boot time? You could use /etc/rc.local | 11:42 |
| dcorking | Ileden, I'm glad you mentioned that - I am in the middle of an upgrade and prism may be a showstopper for me | 11:43 |
| jamiewan_ | sunit, do you have ssh server installed? | 11:43 |
| Ileden | dcorking: showstopper - really? | 11:43 |
| DevilSOlution | you guys are too fast for me, the ln command anyone? | 11:43 |
| sunit | jamiewan: yes | 11:43 |
| DevilSOlution | my home folder that i coppied to my new device how to link it? | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: where did you copy it to and what is the folder name (case sensitive) | 11:44 |
| sunit | jamiewan_: ssh server is installed | 11:44 |
| jamiewan_ | sunit, sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart | 11:44 |
| schnuffle | DevilSOlution: ln -s target link | 11:44 |
| DevilSOlution | what does link mean? | 11:44 |
| DevilSOlution | it is | 11:44 |
| ActionParsnip | jamiewan_: sudo service sshd restart | 11:44 |
| jamiewan_ | ah | 11:45 |
| schnuffle | DevilSOlution: link is the already existing folder | 11:45 |
| Ileden | dcorking: Some googling seems to suggest prism is a dying project. There's something called "mozilla chromeless" that'll replace it. However, it's a bit problematic in this meantime, it's quite useful for me. | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: if you give the name we can give the command and it will make sense | 11:45 |
| DevilSOlution | "/media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba/keg | 11:45 |
| g3oM1 | there isnt available the haskell-platform on ubuntu 10.04 LTS? | 11:45 |
| pitpaf | ActionParsnip, I wanted to have it work before X as in case I ever needed tty Ill try /etc/rc.local | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: and keg is your username? | 11:45 |
| jamiewan_ | sunit, see ActionParsnip line above | 11:45 |
| DevilSOlution | yes | 11:45 |
| DevilSOlution | the existing folder was /home/keg | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | pitpaf: cool, add it above the exit 0 line | 11:45 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: sudo ln -s /media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba/keg | 11:45 |
| mathezula | is the source for the 'mi edition' addons available for download somewhere? I'd like to try compiling that suite on fedora. | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: sudo ln -s /media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba/keg /home/keg | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: second one, stupid putty added a CR | 11:46 |
| DevilSOlution | that it? then i delete the old folders right? | 11:46 |
| mathezula | i can only find precompiled isos for ubuntu | 11:46 |
| sunit | jamiewan_: I can ssh connect locally. But when I am trying from differnt IP the connection timed out | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: you will need to do it in root recovery mode as the files are in use | 11:46 |
| DevilSOlution | ln: `/media/9f8a98af-b52f-4cc2-89d7-f3f13d5cbeba/keg': hard link not allowed for directory | 11:46 |
| ActionParsnip | sunit: is it on the same network? | 11:46 |
| schnuffle | sunit: check your iptables: sudo iptables -L | 11:46 |
| === compaq is now known as maxjezy1 | ||
| ActionParsnip | sunit: the system you are connecting from | 11:47 |
| DevilSOlution | oh okay so i gota log out and back in as root? | 11:47 |
| jamiewan_ | sunit, i'm not to sure direct it to ActionParsnip see what he says | 11:47 |
| WienerWuerstel | Hi Guys | 11:47 |
| DevilSOlution | and it wouldnt let me make a new user btw, unless i can do it in the terminal | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | DevilSOlution: you can't logon as root, reboot and hold shift, select recovery mode then select root | 11:47 |
| sunit | ActionParnsnip: no in different network | 11:47 |
| ActionParsnip | sunit: are you behind a router? | 11:47 |
| dsq | no input | 11:48 |
| DevilSOlution | okie dokie | 11:48 |

| abrakazam | hello. i have a pretty weird problem: Im running a server and use tail in combination with grepping some lines for monitoring. The problem is... the last 10? lines get cut of for some reason | 11:53 |
| sc00ut | have you tried tail -f | 11:53 |
| schnuffle | abrakazam: show the coamnd line youj're using | 11:53 |
| abrakazam | wait, i will past it somewhere | 11:54 |
| abrakazam | sc00ut: yes i use it with tail -f | 11:54 |
| mathezula | does anyone know where I can talk to someone about the mi edition of ubuntu? | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | fallingdutch: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 11:54 |
| sunit | schnuffle: please see the url http://dpaste.de/ajGL/ | 11:54 |
| ActionParsnip | dirtycookie: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 11:55 |
| abrakazam | http://pastebin.com/dSFE3dv1 | 11:55 |
| dirtycookie | ActionParsnip:no | 11:55 |
| mathezula | email address, forum, telephone, it doesn't need to be on IRC | 11:55 |
| dirtycookie | y? | 11:55 |
| abrakazam | now the weird thing about it is... if i use tail without the -f option, everything is alright | 11:55 |
| ActionParsnip | dirtycookie: then how do you know the ISO was complete or consistent? | 11:55 |
| abrakazam | but if i append the -f option lines at the end get cut off | 11:56 |
| dirtycookie | ok | 11:56 |
| schnuffle | sunit: To recapitulate: you can connect locally with ssh -l user localhost, but you can't connect from the local network? Your iptables is fine | 11:56 |
| dirtycookie | ill check that | 11:56 |
| ActionParsnip | !md5 | dirtycookie | 11:56 |
| ubottu | dirtycookie: 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 | 11:56 |
| dirtycookie | thx | 11:56 |
| * Tekku Lunch Time! | 11:56 | |
| abrakazam | also very funny: if I dont grep any lines (the ip lines for instance) everything works | 11:57 |
| schnuffle | abrakazam: maybe the grep statement cut the last lines due to the pattern? | 11:57 |
| sc00ut | i think so to that grep cuts the lines | 11:58 |
| abrakazam | schnuffle: no, its not the pattern. if I dont use the -f option for tail its ok | 11:58 |
| schnuffle | abrakazam: then I've no explanation | 11:59 |
| abrakazam | me neither :D | 11:59 |
| sunit | schnuffle: I can ssh connect in our LAN. but when we are trying with different global IP (WAN) we are unable to establish ssh connection | 11:59 |
| schnuffle | sunit: Then if your DSL router uses NAT you need a port forwarding rule as Action already stated | 12:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sunit: if you use a router you need to setup port forwarding or the router will drop the link | 12:00 |
| brubelsa1s | which, do you think, is the most promising alternative to ubuntu? Debian? Mint? | 12:00 |
| sunit | ActionParsnip: any suggestion ? | 12:00 |
| mathezula | brubelsa1s, fedora 14 or slackware. | 12:00 |
| abrakazam | brubelsa1s: depends what you want to do with it | 12:01 |
| schnuffle | brubelsa1s: I can recommend Suse, Fedora, Mint | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sunit: yes, setup port forwarding | 12:01 |
| fallingdutch | yes I did ActionParsnip | 12:01 |
| brubelsa1s | mathezula: fedora has rpm, wouldn't this be, a regress? | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sunit: access your routers config page and set it up | 12:01 |
| mathezula | brubelsa1s, not at all. | 12:01 |
| redrabbit | Hello i need help with ad-hoc connection on Natty - i have ubuntu community how to but for older version | 12:01 |
| ActionParsnip | fallingdutch: ok and did you check the CD consistency when the CD started to boot? | 12:02 |
| sunit | ActionParsnip: we are using router with port forwarding | 12:02 |
| schnuffle | brubelsa1s: no, for KDE I recommend Suse, Fedora doesn't has multimedia in the default repositories | 12:02 |
| brubelsa1s | abrakazam: Easy to use, to maintain, system, with high flexibility.. (as ubuntu, but better, in terms of hardware support, error regression, etc..) | 12:02 |
| mathezula | brubelsa1s, the error in your thinking is that newer is better. they're just different types of a package managers. I'd stick to yum with fedora, though, it should have everything you need. | 12:02 |
| ActionParsnip | sunit: then it's not setup right, review settings. You may need to reboot the router | 12:02 |
| fallingdutch | yes @ActionParsnip | 12:03 |
| abrakazam | brubelsa1s: hardware support mostly depends on the kernel and not on the distribution | 12:03 |
| sunit | ActionParsnip: ok | 12:03 |
| mathezula | brubelsa1s, it doesn't have mm in the default repos but the repos with those in them are very, very easy to add. don't let the fud confuse you. | 12:03 |
| ActionParsnip | fallingdutch: so it is asking for the CD during boot? | 12:03 |
| fallingdutch | no, at 77% it stops | 12:04 |
| brubelsa1s | ok, why I am asking is: I am very unconfident with the current 11.04. (have been using since 6.04) but there are many issues (many of them already at launchpad) which I consider as bad or bug.. | 12:04 |
| fallingdutch | ActionParsnip: the last message in the log during install is that it is trying to install mdadm | 12:04 |
| brubelsa1s | but I looked at Debian, and well: they got better, but still no comparison to ubuntu | 12:04 |
| mathezula | does anyone know where I can talk to someone about the mi edition of ubuntu? i'm actually trying to find out how feasible it would be to get some of those added packages installed on a fedora machine. | 12:05 |
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: what are your problems w/ 11.04? | 12:05 |
| fallingdutch | ActionParsnip: and the cd is mountable, been able to do it by hand 'mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom' works without problems | 12:05 |
| mathezula | i cant find the source for most of the mi edition stuff | 12:05 |
| fallingdutch | ActionParsnip: the diskname is correct | 12:05 |
| brubelsa1s | KM0201: having WiFi not working, reboot during install, Unity (I know there is old gnome, but not for 11.10 I guess).. | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | fallingdutch: strange, are there any bugs reported for it? | 12:06 |
| brubelsa1s | KM0201: meaning the installation was not finished (and this was an old system) | 12:06 |
| mathezula | fallingdutch, have you ran dmesg? | 12:06 |
| xiaoy | Is it possible to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04? | 12:06 |
| fallingdutch | mathezula: no | 12:06 |
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: well, unity... i tend to agree (there's other options you know... lxde, kde, xfce), as for your wireless not working, if its not working w/ Ubuntu, the chances of it working w/ Debian are slim... what wireless device? | 12:06 |
| brubelsa1s | KM0201: And as I said, there is a launchpad discussion ongoing which I am attached to | 12:07 |
| mathezula | fallingdutch, after the strange behavior, run dmesg, and see what it says. | 12:07 |
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: have you tried the alt. install cd?.. if the live cd is giving you issues, thats what its for | 12:07 |

| Dazzled | There's some stuff I never use, and I'd like to add some things as well | 12:09 |
| brubelsa1s | KM0201: that is why I discarded my 11.04 and set up a "new" 10.10 where it has worked before | 12:09 |
| Dazzled | eg, I'd like to add XChat, and remove the MicroBlog things | 12:09 |
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: ok.. well, from the sounds of it, that makes sense.. i imagine that broadcom can be made to work w/ 11.04 w/ some work. | 12:10 |
| fallingdutch | mathezula: Sense Key: Medium Error [current] | 12:10 |
| brubelsa1s | KM0201: But also the headphones aren't working when you plug them in | 12:10 |
| brubelsa1s | brubelsa1s: the 11.04 left my device unuseable | 12:11 |
| === Threepwood is now known as Guest396 | ||
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: i dunno.. sounds like you should stick w/ 10.10.. but 11.04(unity issues notwithstanding) has been fine for m.e | 12:11 |
| brubelsa1s | and as I said before I am using ubuntu since 06.04 and linux for almost 10 years, tried a lot of distris but now I think ubuntu has done it... | 12:11 |
| lmt_lucas | hi folks | 12:12 |
| brubelsa1s | KM0201: of course as long as you can use your hardware, it would be fine for me too. | 12:12 |
| Dazzled | brubelsa1s, does the hardware get recognized (in case of the headset?) | 12:12 |
| ouyes | hi this is really frustrating, I can install ubuntu 11.04 from a usb flash drive but I can't install 10.04.2 from the same usb flash drive, what is wrong with 10.04.2? where to find 10.04.1 | 12:12 |
| mathezula | KM0201, he could go with 11.04 and just rebuild his kernel with the correct hardware support. | 12:12 |
| brubelsa1s | Or I just wait a half year | 12:12 |
| lmt_lucas | I've run into a bit of a wall with Natty and I'm looking for input | 12:12 |
| KM0201 | mathezula: lol, yeah he could do that to... | 12:12 |
| mathezula | KM0201, takes two hours. | 12:13 |
| brubelsa1s | Dazzled: Yes there is a workaround described at launchpad, no big deal,.. just annoying | 12:13 |
| === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy | ||
| KM0201 | mathezula: i'm aware of that... my point is.. i doubt he wants to do that.. plus, most folks don't want that hassle ( i know i don't) | 12:13 |
| brubelsa1s | mathezula: and I wan't updates! | 12:14 |
| lmt_lucas | While installing on old hardware I got to the point of "this pc is too old to run Unity" popup but I cannot interact with it in any way, neither the mouse nor keyboard are working (they're ok in the bios). Any ideas outside of reinstalling the minimal version and adding Gnome? | 12:14 |
| Dazzled | brubelsa1s, I agree, end-users shouldn't have to "hack" their system to comply | 12:14 |
| mathezula | meh. i usually insist on my own kernel build, that way i know beyond the shadow of a doubt whats there because i put it there. i start with a fresh config, do it up, then just zcat the config.gz file, so when a new kernel comes out I just use it as an earmark. | 12:15 |
| jstoone | Hi everyone, I'm having some big struggle setting up/configureing my postfix/sendmail. I know it's a big favor to ask, but can any of you help me though it? | 12:15 |
| BajK | is there a way to make Natty less annoying? I dont want to type my password 10 times when using the package manager. ONCE is enough but that "remember authorization" thing just DOESNT work | 12:15 |
| jstoone | Maybe exim4 if you preffer that instead | 12:15 |
| mathezula | thats not hacking. not even close lol. thats like tightening a bolt on a rocket ship and then calling it aeronautic engineering. | 12:15 |
| BajK | how can I grant me all rights for installing/Removing/Updating packages? | 12:16 |
| brubelsa1s | What me was making to start this discussion is, that I observed on a outdated system (2005), the installation got stucked, rebooting, leaving the system in unusable state.. I could not figured out log and stuff, but that the new 11.04 gaves me hardware troubles with two computers is a bad feeling.. (and both known to work with 10.10) | 12:16 |
| zarlan | jstoone, don't know a lot about postfix but one of these guides might help http://library.linode.com/email/postfix | 12:16 |
| jstoone | BajK: Sudo? | 12:16 |
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: did you try post #23 on that 732677 link | 12:17 |
| jstoone | zarlan: thanks | 12:17 |
| mathezula | lord, i just cannot find any details at all about this ubuntu "mi edition". can someone help? I'd like to see the sources, or at least a breakdown of what changes were made to what packages so I can see about getting it installed on a fedora system. | 12:17 |
| mathezula | ive searched all over google and nothing comes up? | 12:17 |
| zarlan | jstoone: welcome, they host my server and I've found their guides pretty handy | 12:17 |
| BajK | jstoone: lol | 12:18 |
| BajK | no | 12:18 |
| BajK | when just using the package manager | 12:18 |
| BajK | then always policykit gets on my nerves and asks for my passowrd like 10 times | 12:18 |
| brubelsa1s | KM0201: As I said, I reverted back to 10.10,... since I need the netbook for work I will not switch between the system.. Ok I could use live cd or dual boot.. but this will take time, and papers have to be written too.. | 12:18 |
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: just saying, it looks like there are some ways to work around this, until the fix is upstream. | 12:19 |
| brubelsa1s | ok, I will prepare a live usb, stick, yes this is a good Idea.. | 12:19 |
| DevilSolution | using the ln command on root user didnt work i used the -s parameter and it said that /home/keg was read only | 12:19 |
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: not sure how easy it will be to implement on a live cd, but the main thing to remember, is if you update, do not update that package. | 12:20 |
| brubelsa1s | I an installation of 10.10 occupies the whole drive, is it easy to make a dual boot for 10.10 and 11.04? (repartitioning?) | 12:20 |
| schnuffle | DevilSolution: First delete /home/keg then create the link , make a backup of /home/keg first | 12:20 |
| DevilSolution | godamn it | 12:21 |
| DevilSolution | lol | 12:21 |
| DevilSolution | >.> | 12:21 |
| DevilSolution | what do you mean back up of it? | 12:21 |
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: it shouldn't be to difficult, but i've not usually dual booted two versions of ubuntu. | 12:21 |
| schnuffle | DevilSolution: cd / && sudo rm -fR /home/keg && sudo ln -s /home/keg /your/copied/home/keg | 12:22 |
| brubelsa1s | I think to shrink an ext4 is not easy.. since that what I've to do | 12:22 |
| schnuffle | DevilSolution: I mean if you delete it make sure you saved your data | 12:22 |
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: gparted should be able to do that w/o any issues. | 12:22 |
| brubelsa1s | KM0201: Oh I will try, since when rebooting comes into play the usb live setup will be a bit difficult.. | 12:23 |
| DevilSolution | schnuffle, okay do i have to do all this in root? means i have to write it down becasue i can only get into root console | 12:23 |
| brubelsa1s | KM0201: thanks, and sorry for the flames on ubuntu ;) | 12:23 |
| schnuffle | DevilSolution: if the user has sudo rights you can use my command line | 12:23 |
| KM0201 | brubelsa1s: doesn't bother me at all.. juts saying... sometimes people make some outrageous claims about things "not working".. when just a little looking usually reveals an answer. | 12:23 |
| BajK | why was that policykit editor removed? now there is no chance of disabling this Vista-behavior at all… without digging in config files which I dont even know where they are | 12:24 |
| arand | brubelsa1s: What you'd want is to run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and deselect all drives on the ubuntu instance which will not be handling grub. | 12:25 |
| DevilSolution | schnuffle, ty | 12:25 |
| schnuffle | your welcome | 12:26 |
| brubelsa1s | arand: thanks for that hint, I would have probably missed that in the first run :) | 12:26 |
| Rziz | Should I make mrproper/make clean before recompiling a kernel from the same source tree? | 12:30 |
| Ileden | If I'm connected to the internet via two connections, how does Ubuntu determine which connection is used when I e.g. open a web page to make an ssh connection? | 12:30 |
| fallingdutch | mathezula: thanks for the hint, it did work using another CD drive | 12:30 |
| gorio | could anyone help me how to install glibc-devel on Ubuntu 11.04 x84_64 ? | 12:33 |
| abrakazam | hello again... since the last time no one could help me i return with the error for everyone to reproduce: http://pastebin.com/KbCBF3Ln | 12:33 |
| dcorking | schnuffle, I think the 'ln' command you gave to DevilSolution might be backwards - it is normally ln -s TARGET LINKNAME | 12:34 |
| DevilSolution | dcorking, can i run it as a sudo command rather than root? | 12:36 |
| rcmaehl_mobile | Why can't Windows 7 use GPT!? | 12:38 |
| rcmaehl_mobile | I have to reformat my HDD now | 12:38 |
| frostschutz | it can use gpt just fine, unfortunately | 12:39 |
| rcmaehl_mobile | but you can't install it to gpt >< | 12:39 |
| frostschutz | it tried to format all my linux partitions when I first switched to gpt, because linux data and windows data partition is actually the same type, lol | 12:40 |
| schnuffle | dcorking: I think I'm right :) he wants to relink his copied folder to /home | 12:40 |
| janhaj | hello.. I have a notebook HP with preinstalled Windows and my install linux on other partition. It also has recovery partition. I am planning to do recover. This recover erases all partitions and makes only one Windows or keep linux's partitions and erases only one ntfs? | 12:41 |
| dcorking | Ileden, I am sorry to hear prism is going - I wonder if it is compatible with Firefox 4 - I use a nice music webapp called we7 - so I exaggerate when I called it a showstopper ... | 12:41 |
| rcmaehl_mobile | janhaj: could you restate that I didn't understnad it | 12:41 |
| schnuffle | dcorking: Opps no | 12:42 |
| dcorking | but I don't like a we7/flash crash to bring down firefox, or vice versa, so I will do without cheap music, or do without natty, for a while :) | 12:42 |
| schnuffle | dcorking: That's the part i'm always getting wrong | 12:42 |
| rcmaehl_mobile | dcorking: use chromium? | 12:42 |
| frostschutz | janhaj: such a recovery solution usually wipes everything | 12:43 |
| dcorking | rcmaehl_mobile, I am thinking of trying chromium after my natty upgrade - would solve that issue | 12:43 |
| rcmaehl_mobile | dcorking: it should | 12:43 |
| dcorking | schnuffle, LOL me too - I always run 'ln --help' before every use | 12:43 |
| schnuffle | dcorking: :) like me | 12:44 |
| janhaj | <rcmaehl_mobile> I have a notebook with preinstalled Windows and I make another partition, where I install linux. When I do recover Windows from boot menu, it wipes everything or only ntfs with Windows | 12:44 |
| janhaj | <frostschutz> ok, thanks.. :) | 12:44 |
| rcmaehl_mobile | janhaj: oh. | 12:44 |
| rcmaehl_mobile | what if I installed windows and ubuntu to the same ntfs partition. what would happen? | 12:46 |
| iceroot | rcmaehl_mobile: nothing | 12:46 |
| iceroot | rcmaehl_mobile: ubuntu will not run on ntfs | 12:46 |
| janhaj | <rcmaehl_mobile> ? | 12:46 |
| LjL | rcmaehl_mobile: you can't install Ubuntu on an NTFS paritition, modulo using Wubi | 12:47 |
| DevilsS0lution | it can run via ntfs i think, not on ntfs though | 12:47 |
| tdn | How do I get digikam 2.0 in Ubuntu 11.04? Is there a PPA? | 12:47 |

| schnuffle | sandstrom: use su - mongodb ...... | 12:49 |
| schnuffle | sandstrom: the su - gives you a login shell with the correct env | 12:49 |
| dirtycookie | hi again | 12:50 |
| dirtycookie | i have my problem with installing ubnuntu on an asus eeePC and im stuck un the bootmenu of ubuntu | 12:51 |
| dirtycookie | i have the alternate installation cd on the usb stick | 12:51 |
| dcorking | DevilsS0lution, you got your new home directory running yet? | 12:51 |
| Konza | While i was installing a perl module, it worked fine when i used the command perl -MCPAN -e shell , but it faild to work when i used the command perl -MCPAN -e 'install Archive::Zip'... Does anyone know the reason? | 12:52 |
| linuxuz3r | hi | 12:52 |
| linuxuz3r | how do i clone my existing ubuntu installation to a new hdd | 12:52 |
| mohannad | hello | 12:52 |
| schnuffle | linuxuz3r: USE CLONEZILLA LIVE cd | 12:53 |
| mohannad | does any one know here I can learn about linux and how to use and stuff? | 12:53 |
| arand | linuxuz3r: Use fsarchiver and clone on a partition basis, recreate partitions and image the files back. | 12:53 |
| mohannad | I can't get the hang of it | 12:53 |
| DevilsS0lution | dcorking: not yet, just playing on irssi | 12:53 |
| dirtycookie | and someone told my to do check the image md5 which i did and it went good | 12:53 |
| schnuffle | DevilsS0lution: dcorking showed me that I confused target and link | 12:53 |
| DevilsS0lution | do i run ln command in sudo, like sudo ln /media/longnumber/keg /home/keg/ | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | DevilsS0lution: normally one uses 'ln -s' | 12:54 |
| DevilsS0lution | and i have to delete the home/keg first right? | 12:54 |
| Ileden | dcorking: yeah, but chromeless should replace it. I hope it comes soon, I'm going to miss prism. | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | DevilsS0lution: if /home/keg exists.. yes.. or rename it | 12:54 |
| DevilsS0lution | i tried ln -s and i got a read only error | 12:54 |
| schnuffle | DevilsS0lution: yes but use the -s switch cause hardlinks can't be done over different partitions | 12:54 |
| DevilsS0lution | okay ill rename for now | 12:54 |
| Dr_Willis | DevilsS0lution: i dont think thats an issue with ln.. but with the filesystem | 12:54 |
| DevilsS0lution | okie dokie, ill brb guys | 12:54 |
| DevilsS0lution | ima try it ;) | 12:54 |
| dcorking | DevilsS0lution, you don't have to delete the /home/keg - on my machines I do something like mv /home/keg /home/oldkeg - because I like to hoard old stuff - just in case :) | 12:55 |
| Ileden | dcorking: I do have prism working on Ubuntu 10.10 with Firefox 4 (installed via mozilla ppa). I wonder if there's a way to install it into 11.04 and have it work, as long as we don't have chromeless | 12:55 |
| DevilsS0lution | do i delete/rename the home or just the keg bit? | 12:56 |
| DevilsS0lution | so /hi/again or /home/hiagain | 12:56 |
| dcorking | Ileden, natty has xulrunner, so I think prism should work and upgrade to natty is probably an oversight by Masters of the Universe | 12:56 |
| schnuffle | DevilsS0lution: just the keg bit | 12:56 |
| DevilsS0lution | ty :P | 12:56 |
| dcorking | Ileden, my guess is that prism will compile from deb-src or upstream tarball with a small amount of work - I will try if my machine doesn't like chromium | 12:57 |
| MethedMan | i am trying to run a script on startup that requires superuser privileges. can someone tell me how to do this | 12:59 |

| louis_ | hi, I think I found a bug in Ubuntu Natty gnome but I am not sure. When I drag a file on a reduced app and wait, the app doesn't show and open the file. any idea? | 13:02 |
| schnuffle | MethedMan: try http://tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/ | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | louis_: lets clarify.. You mean a 'minimized' window in the left side 'launcher' panel ? | 13:03 |
| louis_ | Dr_Willis: YYes I mean a minimized window, but as I use gnome (not unity) it is in the bottom of the desktop. | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | louis_: so thats the 'windows list' in the bottom panel. | 13:05 |
| louis_ | Dr_Willis: yes it is | 13:06 |

| zvacet | even better | 13:17 |
| david234_ | So nobody meets in my city to talk about Ubuntu, how disappointing | 13:17 |
| ferengee | Ileden, i use route -n | 13:18 |
| Gnea | david234_: maybe it's time you made that happen | 13:18 |
| compdoc | david234_, what would you say about Ubuntu if they did? | 13:19 |
| david234_ | Any suggestions on how one might do that ? | 13:19 |
| ferengee | Ileden, depending on the most specific rule for the netmask and destination a gateway is chosen | 13:19 |
| Ileden | ferengee: I don't understand how to read that table. | 13:19 |
| Ileden | ferengee: ah, ok. that helps. | 13:19 |
| ScottKevill | Just upgraded 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS and my software RAID5 has come up.. weird. Some LVMs (on top) mounted, others didn't. | 13:19 |
| david234_ | I'd bring my laptop and show others cool things I found on Ubuntu, learn new stuff and help newbs who are unsure | 13:19 |
| ferengee | Ileden, check the examples in the route man page | 13:20 |
| ScottKevill | These are 3TB drives. | 13:20 |
| ferengee | Ileden, to add a specific route for a specific range or destination | 13:20 |
| Ileden | ferengee: so it reads it in order of specificity of netmask. hm. so when one of my connections has mask of "255.255.255.255" it would always use that, but since it's so specific, it only matches one IP address (it's own) | 13:20 |
| Ileden | ferengee: or the other way around? ah ok, I'll read the man page. | 13:20 |

| LetsGo67 | ActionParsnip: Not sure. i removed keytouch. Only gnome on this PC. | 13:39 |

| ScottKevill | My mdadm RAID5 array is reporting a size of 2.4 TB instead of 9 TB after upgrading Ubuntu.. any ideas? | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | LetsGo67: the keyboard shortcuts / settings in preferences can be used, click the item you want to assign to the button, then press the button | 13:40 |
| BluesKaj | pinoyoragon, do you have a terminal | 13:40 |
| cebalrai | ActionParsnip, the PPA is set up correctly, the allowed origins line in the 50unattended-upgrades isn't being recognized though | 13:41 |
| jovial | i have a question its not entirely about Software, i'm sorry for the bad English and if my question is not for here: | 13:41 |
| jovial | nip> isianto: ask away | 13:41 |
| jovial | I'm new in Linux, and i'm working at a computer service - fixing computers, mainly Windows based,and mostly hardware, so i'm sorry for the stupid questions, currently we are installing programs via network access to a Computer (with Windows XP). From time to time the connection is EXTREMELY slow, and the computer had began to crash (BSOD) so me and my colegues have decided to move all installations on a Linux based computer. After this descriptio | 13:41 |
| jovial | n, my question is: Is there anything else except a simple File Share(if there is a Simple File share on linux) ? Do i have to use Samba or something like that to have access from a newly install Windows (i mean only drivers) to that "server" and will it be faster and stable ? | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | cebalrai: hmm, strange. Not sure then | 13:41 |
| FloodBot1 | jovial: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | jovial: you can use samba to setup file sharing. It will need to be installed. 90% of that question wasn't useful and scrolled the channel | 13:42 |
| sipior | ScottKevill: might be useful to see the output from mdadm --detail and --query. could you pastebin that? also, which filesystem lives on top of the raid? | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | jovial: keep to the pure question in future please | 13:42 |
| ferengee | Ileden, you should have said that your program was ssh | 13:43 |
| jovial | sorry :) | 13:43 |
| jovial | Thanks | 13:43 |
| LetsGo67 | ActionParsnip: It has to be run with sudo. | 13:43 |
| pinoyoragon | BlueKaj: yes | 13:43 |
| pipipopo | tes | 13:43 |
| ferengee | Ileden, ssh can bind on a specific address | 13:43 |
| ferengee | Ileden, see the ssh manpage | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | LetsGo67: no, run it as user | 13:43 |
| Sidewinder1 | What is the difference between using tty (ctrl+alt+F1) and just opening up "Terminal"? I have wondered about this for a long while. TIA | 13:43 |
| ActionParsnip | LetsGo67: the settings are per user | 13:43 |
| ScottKevill | sipior: Will do. ext3 volumes on LVM on RAID. | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | ScottKevill: sounds like a pain | 13:44 |
| LetsGo67 | ActionParsnip: It doesn't work on user. | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | LetsGo67: it should as you are setting the user settings | 13:44 |
| pinoyoragon | SideWinder1: i need to shutdown my X server, but when i do that, the screen freezes, what should happen is tty should appear | 13:44 |
| LetsGo67 | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu is glitchy these days. i'll have to log out and in just to check if it works. | 13:45 |
| pinoyoragon | BlueKaj: yes i have | 13:45 |
| BluesKaj | pinoyoragon, try , sudo service gdm, stop in the terminal | 13:45 |
| ScottKevill | sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/610587/ | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | LetsGo67: works here just fine | 13:46 |
| BluesKaj | pinoyoragon, ignore the comma | 13:46 |
| pinoyoragon | BluesKaj: i did and what happens is that the screen freezes instead of entering tty mode with a prompt | 13:46 |
| LetsGo67 | ActionParsnip: Let's say it's still worth it to get my Windows refund. It's $60 less for Microsoft. | 13:47 |
| BluesKaj | pinoyoragon, then you may have use the recovery kernel to boot into the tty | 13:47 |
| jasonmchristos | pinoyoragon, what is a pinoy? | 13:47 |
| Sidewinder1 | pinoyoragon, I use X as well, I just tried it with no problems. (ctrl+alt+F1) and it opened, no prob; then alt+F7 took me right back to GUI... 10.04, LTS...? | 13:47 |
| pinoyoragon | jasonmchristos: filipino | 13:47 |
| LetsGo67 | Logging off and in. Yay Ubuntu! Well, maybe after this song at least. | 13:47 |
| ScottKevill | sipior: And these errors from dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/610590/ | 13:48 |
| jasonmchristos | so if its a female its a pinay? | 13:48 |
| pinoyoragon | SideWinder1: i gues my problem is with my graphics card driver | 13:48 |
| pinoyoragon | BluesKaj: how? | 13:48 |
| Sidewinder1 | pino nvidia w/ nvidia non-free dirver here... | 13:48 |
| ScottKevill | ActionParsnip: More scary than a pain at this point. | 13:49 |
| pinoyoragon | BluesKaj: when i do that from grub (at boot time) it will not continue and just displays a blank screen | 13:49 |
| bazhang | jasonmchristos, that has nothing to do with ubuntu | 13:49 |
| sipior | ScottKevill: these are 750GB drives? | 13:49 |
| ScottKevill | sipior: No, they are 3TB drives. | 13:49 |
| BluesKaj | pinoyoragon, hold down the shift at the bios screen til you bet the grub menu then choose the recovery kernel , a dialog with some options will appear , choose repair broken packages , then a root tty is an optional choice in the list | 13:50 |
| sipior | ScottKevill: yeah, i wondered :-) don't suppose you an older livecd to boot off of to check the array? | 13:50 |
| BluesKaj | get | 13:50 |

| jasonmchristos | ActionParsnip, but i want it to be fast | 13:54 |
| sipior | ScottKevill: also, what are the dmesg lines for the drives when detected? i'm guessing they show up as ~800GB? | 13:54 |
| jasonmchristos | supported hardware doesnt talk about speed | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | jasonmchristos: they will go at the speed of the interface (USB 2 most likely) | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | jasonmchristos: you can get class 6 SD cards which are fast | 13:54 |
| ScottKevill | sipior: They are detected correctly as 3TB. | 13:55 |

| uabn93 | ActionParsnip: lol . Do you know of the right one? | 13:58 |
| ScottKevill | sipior: On the 3TB drives, yes. That was necessary (with parted) to partition them to full 3TB before adding to the RAID5 originally. | 13:58 |

| bazhang | nubi_ubuntu, fresh install is much quicker from where you are | 14:06 |

| prashant_123456 | bazhang, http://imagebin.org/154211 | 14:09 |
| sipior | ScottKevill: i'm afraid i'm at a loss to explain why it should stop working (it's easier to understand why it would not work in the first place). as a last measure, you *might* try rebuilding the raid array, and then restoring from backups. | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ksinkar: i think the unsupported (by this channel) Nautilus-elementry variant has that feature | 14:09 |

| sipior | ScottKevill: could be. i've generally thought of mdraid as pretty stable; no excuse for it not working across an LTS upgrade. | 14:11 |

| bazhang | prashant_123456, ask in #compiz if your card supports effects | 14:11 |

| anli_ | When I search for webmin in synaptic, I find nothing | 14:30 |
| anli_ | pretty strange, isnt it? | 14:30 |
| bazhang | !webmin | anli_ | 14:30 |
| ubottu | anli_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 14:30 |
| Galaxor | The trouble is there is *something* that I installed from lucid-proposed. So I added the lucid-proposed repo and then I set the pin-priority of the regular lucid repo to be higher than default, so that I wouldn't be installing everything from lucid-proposed. So now, when I add ppas like this, if they only install packages that are also contained in the regular lucid repo, then the regular lucid repo is pinned higher. | 14:30 |

| anthony_dev | is there any flash dev apps for ubuntu? (with frames and things like that+ action script)? | 14:35 |
| Galaxor | Y'know, it seems that the sources.list line for the vbox ppa indicates that it is in the "lucid" repository as well. So I don't think I can pin it separately from the regular repo. | 14:35 |

"free" only gives a vague point about usage and doesn't include any kernel memory usage information (like slabs), slabinfo doesn't include any shared video memory usage, ps doesn't well describe shared library allocation, and then there's ipcs for shared memory segments. :/ | 15:40 |

| edbian | BluesKaj, What command are you using to mount? | 16:01 |
| origamiguy | Could not display "sftp://herp@derp.net:443/". Nautilus cannot handle "sftp" locations. | 16:01 |

| theadmin | piboy: /FORMAT timestamp {timestamp %%H:%%M:%%S} | 16:02 |
| ubun2 | BluesKaj, mkdir /path/mountpoint then do mount | 16:02 |
| ShadesEdge | sudaya: I think it is somewhere in GNOME, check in the GNOME settings | 16:02 |
| mbeierl | myrmidette: the datarecovery link has information on a program called "foremost" which is probably your best bet | 16:02 |
| ShadesEdge | I think | 16:02 |
| myrmidette | mbeierl, they were deleted a couple days ago | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | edbian, on the client , sudo mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 nfs-server:/ /mnt and I did modprbe nfs on the client side | 16:02 |
| mbeierl | myrmidette: are you using that computer for this chat session right now? | 16:03 |
| myrmidette | any hope if I used the rm command? | 16:03 |
| myrmidette | yes | 16:03 |
| rahul_ | i have to logout & note down again.. | 16:03 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, Use the ip address of the server instead of 'nfs-server' | 16:03 |
| BluesKaj | yeah , I did edbian , same message | 16:03 |
| anli_ | I need a nice ncurses based netfilter/iptables configuration program | 16:03 |
| anli_ | Is there such? | 16:03 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, Is that the correct ip address? | 16:03 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, On the server do you have a process called nfsd running? | 16:04 |
| edbian | rahul_, then do that. Try each of the options it lists | 16:04 |
| mbeierl | myrmidette: no, the extfs is not quite as easy to recover from deletion as good ol' dos was. The blocks are reused in a different manner, which is why there is less fragmentation in extfs than ntfs or fat. | 16:04 |
| sudaya | ShadesEdge: thanks got it, its in system control | 16:04 |
| aboudreault | Hi. | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | yup , edbian I use ssh with it all the time so i know that it works | 16:04 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, Alright good, do you have an nfsd process running on the server? | 16:04 |
| rahul_ | k.. i'll try and get back.. | 16:04 |
| aboudreault | How is the KVM support in ubuntu 11.04 ? (or is LXC integrated?) | 16:04 |
| origamiguy | ActionParsnip if it helps, trash and network:/// are broken also.l | 16:05 |
| mbeierl | myrmidette: there are always tradeoffs. Your best bet is to use another computer to download a live cd (or usb) and install foremost once booted up to see if it can recover any of the remaining fragments of your missing files | 16:05 |

| theadmin | origamiguy: Make sure ~/.gvfs exists. | 16:06 |
| === duckydan_ is now known as duckydan | ||
| mbeierl | myrmidette: doing the download on the computer with the deleted files increases the chance of the download overwriting your data, making recovery harder | 16:06 |
| myrmidette | ok thank you very much mbeirl | 16:06 |
| origamiguy | yep, it does. | 16:06 |
| myrmidette | *mbeierl | 16:06 |
| origamiguy | however, it's empty. | 16:06 |
| theadmin | origamiguy: Supposed to be, not sure how it works xD | 16:06 |
| mbeierl | myrmidette: it's not pleasant to find out delete really means delete on Unix/extfs file systems. | 16:07 |

| ShadesEdge | :) | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | edbian, no because I quit using NFS , I was asking if it worth using ....been looking for a way to automount the media folder on the den-pc , without having to call it with cli | 16:07 |
| bluezonemobile | Mbeierl: I agree | 16:07 |
| b0ot_linux | I want to build a complete backup of my my system in a way that I could install everything from a disk or usb drive including programs etc. I have a nice setup created with scripts etc and I want a baseline that I can go back to if any future work I do messes anything up | 16:07 |
| b0ot_linux | how would i do this | 16:07 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, You can place an entry in /etc/fstab on the client. But for a networked filesystem you must use either sshfs, samba, nfs, or some program | 16:08 |
| theadmin | b0ot_linux: Google "remastersys". | 16:08 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, You cannto mount a remote filesystem with one. | 16:08 |
| theadmin | b0ot_linux: However! Due to the fact that Ubuntu is NOT a rolling release, upgrading to newer releases from such a CD could end up problematic. | 16:09 |
| Polah | Would it be possible to create a script to ssh into a server and enter the password automatically? | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | I use sshfs right now , but the tutorial scripts to automount that Ive tried all fail to work , edbian | 16:09 |
| mbeierl | bluezonemobile: it's a cold, cold, filesystem out there. it doesn't care about your pictures of your great aunt Edna. you said "rm", and that means it's fair game :) | 16:09 |
| Fireblasto | How do you mount iso images within ubuntu so that you can copy their files? Is there a specific program, or can I do it through the terminal> | 16:10 |
| Fireblasto | #? | 16:10 |
| theadmin | Fireblasto: mount -o loop file.iso folder | 16:10 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, If you can ssh to the machine than the server is completely set up. Here is a guide that contains an example of what to add into the /etc/fstab of the client https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 16:11 |
| b0ot_linux | theadmin, someone had recommended that I ask about kickstart configuration scripts... are you familar with those | 16:11 |
| theadmin | b0ot_linux: Nope, not a bit | 16:11 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, To mount it at the command line it's simply sshfs user@server:/path/to/folder /path/to/local/folder/ | 16:11 |
| Fireblasto | theadmin, this is what I get returned to me: 'ubuntu.iso: No such file or directory' | 16:11 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, Make sure that works first to confirm sshfs is installed | 16:11 |
| rahul_ | @edbian i got "Recovery Console, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Classic, Ubuntu Classic(No Effects), Ubuntu(safe mode), User defined session" these many options by default it's "Ubuntu" | 16:11 |

| bencc | how can I check the ulimit of another user? | 16:12 |
| edbian | rahul_, 'ubuntu' should be the new unity interface. I'm thinking your computer does not support compiz and therefore falls to ubuntu without effects everytime | 16:12 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, Are the media files remote? | 16:12 |
| === dhfhsdfh is now known as m00se | ||

| theadmin | b0ot_linux: It should include all the default Ubuntu drivers and the ones you have installed, propertiary. However, those will not be active if no proper hardware is found | 16:13 |
| bluezonemobile | Turkysama what is wrong? | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | well ,just on our LAN on this server . edbian | 16:14 |
| roasted | I have an Ubuntu machine on a windows domain via likewise open. How can I grant a single domain user administrator access so they can install software? | 16:14 |
| rahul_ | @edbian I have installed Ubuntu on VMware.. updated from 10.11 to 11.04 | 16:14 |
| theadmin | Fireblasto: Well, make sure ubuntu.iso exists in $PWD. | 16:14 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, then use sshfs. To make it mount automatically put on entry in /etc/fstab using the guide I linked you. | 16:14 |
| TurkuSama | BluesKaj: is there anything special I need to do to install and run steam? | 16:14 |
| Fireblasto | theadmin, screw you | 16:14 |
| edbian | rahul_, Did you turn on hardware acceleration in the vm?? | 16:14 |
| bluezonemobile | Install wine turkusama | 16:15 |
| theadmin | Fireblasto: If you don't understand, just say, no need to be impolite. | 16:15 |
| mbeierl | roasted: I'm sorry - I don't have likewise installed anymore, but you can put domain users and groups in the sudoers file. | 16:15 |
| TurkuSama | wine is installed | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | edbian, yes I've tried that , but I run into pw probs and i don't like use no pwd options | 16:15 |
| Fireblasto | theadmin, $PWN? | 16:15 |
| theadmin | Fireblasto: Okay, try something like this: sudo mount -o loop /full/path/to/file.iso /full/path/to/some/folder | 16:15 |
| roasted | mbeierl, can I add them to the admin group in the users/groups menu? | 16:15 |
| rahul_ | yes.. my Host PC had 2GB RAM & extern GCard of 512MB.. | 16:15 |
| roasted | mbeierl, or would I need to edit the actual sudoers file? | 16:15 |
| navid | i installed my nVidia graphic driver and now i can't see any panels and the icons in desktop are flickering | 11.04 - geforce 5500 | 16:15 |
| theadmin | Fireblasto: $PWD means "Current working directory", basically: echo $PWD | 16:16 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, Ahhh yes, I know what you're talking about. I'm not sure how to fix that. I suggest using nfs because it doesn't have those problems | 16:16 |
| bluezonemobile | Turkusama but considering video card drivers are "not for gaming" gl, but if wine is already installed then what is wrong? | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | TurkuSama, dunno , no idea bout steam | 16:16 |
| mbeierl | roasted: no, the groups file doesn't work well with likewise if I recall correctly. I have used the sudoers with success. The other way to give them group membership would be to see if you can add the linux group id to their AD group membership. | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | edbian, yeah we've come full circle :) ..that's why i was asking about NFS | 16:17 |
| TurkuSama | i've heard mention of playonlinux, not sure if that was a neccessity(sP?) | 16:17 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, :D | 16:17 |
| navid | i installed my nVidia graphic driver and now i can't see any panels and the icons in desktop are flickering | 11.04 - geforce 5500 | 16:17 |
| Fireblasto | theadmin, getting this returned to me: mount: can't find ubuntu.iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 16:17 |
| edbian | BluesKaj, So then turn NFS back on, on the server | 16:17 |

| BluesKaj | edbian, done | 16:18 |
| mbeierl | roasted: you would not add anything to /etc/users or /etc/group. you would need to add something like "%domain^admins%" to the sudoers file. Let me see if I can find my old notes. | 16:18 |
| theadmin | Fireblasto: Did you specify the folder to mount? For instance, to mount /home/theadmin/Downloads/lol.iso to /home/theadmin/loliso I'd run this: sudo mount -o loop /home/theadmin/Downloads/lol.iso /home/theadmin/loliso | 16:18 |

| aeon-ltd | esmaeil: not in the repos? compile or look for a ppa | 16:22 |
| mbeierl | roasted: not expert with software raid, but I have used md to make raid0 arrays for performance on linux machines before. what's the question? | 16:22 |
| esmaeil | navid: what is your graphic card? | 16:22 |
| Guest33592 | is any one available to help me through my ignorance | 16:23 |
| navid | esmaeil: nvidia 5500 | 16:23 |
| roasted | mbeierl, well, I created a raid1 array in 11.04, and I wanted to remove it and start over due to unrelated issues with my install (Accidentally installed the OS to a 4gb flash drive instead of 8gb flash drive, and I'd rather set it up again for more experience) | 16:23 |
| kavurt | pitthappens: it doesn't look like a question | 16:23 |
| roasted | mbeierl, but when I go to the laternate CD the array is still listed even tho I formatted the drives. | 16:23 |
| esmaeil | aeon-ltd: any suggestion at morning i install but i don't know is it correctly install? | 16:23 |
| esmaeil | navid: let me see? | 16:24 |
| roasted | mbeierl, how can I completely disconnect the two SATA drives from the raid1 array and make linux think they are just two 500gb storage devices? | 16:24 |
| navid | esmaeil: downloaded and installed correctly, but now i cant see my pannel and icons are flickering | 16:24 |
| mbeierl | roasted: this is in a running OS? or during the install? | 16:24 |
| Guest33592 | Hello | 16:24 |
| mbeierl | roasted: and do you care about the content of the filesystem? (as in ... you already backed it up, cos this is going to destroy the data) | 16:25 |
| roasted | mbeierl, during the install. It still comes up as 4 devices being listed - RAID (/dev/md0) Drive 1, Drive 2, and flash drive. I want to remove the RAID entry. | 16:25 |
| esmaeil | navid: which version of ubuntu do u have? | 16:25 |
| navid | esmaeil: no problem with the driver. it's the aftermath | 16:25 |
| pitthappens | can someone please help me with a kernel panic? | 16:25 |
| roasted | mbeierl, oh no. this is a brand new NAS I'm setting up. no data at all. | 16:25 |
| navid | esmaeil: 11.04 | 16:25 |
| rahul_ | how can i get access to other user files on the same machine..? | 16:25 |
| theadmin | rahul_: Open Nautilus with root priveleges, like this: gksu nautilus | 16:25 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: if they have their permissions set right. you can just access their /home/username/whatever dir | 16:25 |
| sipior | pitthappens: we'll need a bit more information. | 16:25 |
| mbeierl | roasted: I think if you change the partition type of the two, the installer won't put them together anymore. I think the part type is different when they belong to a raid array | 16:25 |
| mvdir | I would like to modify the ubuntu livecd not to ask whether to try/install, and just automatically try. I have the iso mounted, but I'm not sure where to go from there. | 16:25 |
| pitthappens | i can provide you with whatever information you need <sipior> | 16:26 |
| navid | esmaeil: i restarted and now is the main problem that without panel i cant do anything | 16:26 |
| mbeierl | roasted: go directly to gparted before starting the installer? | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | mvdir: i think theres some setting in the syslinux configs that pass a kernel argument that can do that. but ive never tracked it down. | 16:26 |
| roasted | mbeierl, tried that. I got an error in the process when I tried to nuke the drives. | 16:26 |
| mvdir | Dr_Willis: Thanks | 16:26 |
| roasted | mbeierl, what I figured I'd do is put each drive in independently and create a new partition table and see what happens. | 16:26 |
| esmaeil | navid: what pannel is it gone? | 16:26 |
| roasted | mbeierl, but Im new to linux software raid. the only raid I used before was hardware as well as ZFS raid on freenas. | 16:26 |
| rahul_ | wht if the permission are not given..is their any other way to sneak in..? | 16:26 |
| sipior | pitthappens: easiest if you provide the channel at large with things like kernel version, text of the error, what you were doing when it tirggered, &cet. | 16:27 |
| esmaeil | navid: which panel is it gone? | 16:27 |
| navid | esmaeil: i'm chatting with u from another machine | 16:27 |
| mbeierl | roasted: it's the installer thing that's got me. it's not necessarily something that I understand as to why it wants to put them back together | 16:27 |

| navid | esmaeil: both. the upper and lower | 16:27 |
| linuxuz3r | I dd cloned my existing linux install but it failed to boot so i reformated my partition and dd it again and now it booted fine but the freespace on my hdd now shows incorrect size | 16:27 |
| roasted | mbeierl, well, I've had the GUI installer try this before when IDIDNT want raid, which is strange. but Im in the alternate installer now. | 16:27 |
| linuxuz3r | how do i show the correct free space | 16:27 |
| tsimpson | rahul_: only as root, root has access to everything regardless of permissions | 16:28 |
| esmaeil | navid: you mean you can't see anything in you machine? | 16:28 |
| roasted | mbeierl, in the past 2 identical drives with identical partition structure the ubuntu GUI installer for desktops has even tried to lump them together. | 16:28 |
| navid | esmaeil: i cant access the menus | 16:28 |
| navid | esmaeil: exactly | 16:28 |
| navid | esmaeil: are you from iran? | 16:28 |
| rahul_ | @theAdmin wht if the permission are not given..is their any other way to sneak in..? | 16:28 |
| mbeierl | roasted: a little too much intelligence perhaps? I am the installer... I know better than you? | 16:28 |
| esmaeil | navid: could you press windows button on your machine and let me know what do u see? | 16:29 |
| vorlov | is there a way to figure out why grub doesn't initially display? | 16:29 |
| Dr_Willis | linuxuz3r: use gparted to resize the partitions | 16:29 |
| vorlov | i have 2 options in it | 16:29 |
| vorlov | and still it never displays on boot | 16:29 |
| navid | esmaeil: nothing | 16:29 |
| esmaeil | navid: I live in Iran? | 16:29 |
| roasted | mbeierl, I would like the OPTION for raid in the installer, like other distros do. Not the "I hereby command you raid" thing that Ubuntu seems to do :P | 16:29 |
| ShadesEdge | Hey, someone have a problem with the Minimal CD | 16:29 |
| esmaeil | navid: then press F2 | 16:29 |
| navid | esmaeil: no just Iranian? i live there. do you? | 16:29 |
| mbeierl | roasted: a guess it was a decision to limit the options in an attempt to make it simpler? | 16:30 |
| omid | navid i do | 16:30 |
| ShadesEdge | One of my friend cannot install it by Internet because it doesn't supports PPPoE | 16:30 |
| navid | esmaeil: wait | 16:30 |
| roasted | mbeierl, then again ubuntu is on a 700 meg CD, whereas other distros upgraded to DVD where space for more options in the installer is more plentiful. | 16:30 |

| tsimpson | rahul_: you can't find someone else's password, that's kind of the point of them | 16:39 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: unless you want to be a bit more clear in what you are doing. | 16:39 |
| rahul_ | @Dr_Willis any other way out..? | 16:40 |

| Doc_exe | is there an easy way to debug why the firefox icon on my desktop fails to start firefox? it runs fine from cli | 16:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: that would be a rather big security hole.. You normally cant 'recover' a lost password eitehr.. you set a new one. | 16:44 |
| aeon-ltd | Doc_exe: hmm did it work before firefox 4? | 16:44 |

| davidlp_44_ashla | Hello everyone, I'm new to these chat rooms | 16:46 |
| ShadesEdge | For all the one who said Ubuntu is not lightweight: Alternate and Minimal are... | 16:46 |
| dkn | exit | 16:46 |
| Dr_Willis | or if you temparaly moved/renamed your .mozilla directory | 16:46 |
| Doc_exe | teh admin account works fine | 16:46 |
| Doc_exe | i can try the .mozilla move | 16:46 |
| Dr_Willis | that points to a user setting issue seems like | 16:46 |
| pitthappens | sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/610669/ | 16:46 |
| Pici | ShadesEdge: The alternate install install the same thing as the regular desktop CD. | 16:46 |
| davis | hello, how do I connect to a wifi network? | 16:47 |
| ShadesEdge | So then... Is there an equivalent to the Minimal CD install but packaged in a CD? | 16:47 |
| Doc_exe | Dr_Willis: all teh other icons seem to work fine | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | davis: i just use the network manager icon at the top right. | 16:47 |
| Doc_exe | any idea of what setting it might be? | 16:47 |
| ahmedsyafii | assalamualaikum | 16:47 |
| rahul_ | @Dr_Willis @tsimpson k.. now we have etc/passwd file which holds all the passwords for apps or user's of the sys..right ? | 16:47 |
| ShadesEdge | So then you don't need to download everything from the CD and you have the command line install? | 16:48 |
| davis | ok many thanks. that was easy. | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Doc_exe: firefox runs from some script that lanches the real thing I think. if moving the .mozilla dir workjs.. that would point ot a setting/plugin issue | 16:48 |
| tsimpson | rahul_: no, /etc/passwd does not hold passwords | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: nope.. look in the file :) they are not in there | 16:48 |
| tsimpson | rahul_: and we will not help you to crack passwords either | 16:48 |
| Doc_exe | Dr_Willis: i removed teh .mozilla directory and ran it again | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: layers of security. :) | 16:48 |
| Doc_exe | it created the .mozilla directory but failed to start | 16:48 |
| rahul_ | @Dr_Willis yeah but they are marked as X shadowed.. | 16:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Doc_exe: that is very interesting. check what the firefox icon is lauching exactly. it may differ then the command line you are using. | 16:49 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: thats whats /etc/shadow is all about :) | 16:49 |
| tsimpson | rahul_: the passwords are stored encrypted | 16:49 |
| rahul_ | @tsimpson i'm not asking to crack.. | 16:49 |
| Doc_exe | Dr_Willis: i tried that already... I tried several different versions... specifing the direct location just firefox and firefox u% | 16:50 |
| rahul_ | @tsimpson just want to know can they be Decrypted..? | 16:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Doc_exe: firefox has some --options that you may want to check out. | 16:50 |
| Doc_exe | Dr_Willis: is there a way to check any logs? | 16:50 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: answer is .. no. :) | 16:50 |
| tsimpson | rahul_: that would be cracking them, so no | 16:50 |
| sipior | pitthappens: what happens if you run update-grub? | 16:50 |
| rahul_ | @tsimpson Thankx.. | 16:51 |
| sipior | rahul_: technically, they're hashed, not encrypted, and so they generally can't be "decrypted". | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | thats the term i was looking for.. 'hashed' | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | its like a one way hash? i forget the details i read ages ago. | 16:51 |
| jinppk | qui | 16:52 |
| wym | so many people | 16:52 |
| jinppk | quit | 16:52 |
| jinppk | exit | 16:52 |
| wym | quit | 16:52 |
| sipior | Dr_Willis: yep, one-way (ideally) | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | wym: its a slow day here | 16:52 |
| wym | slow day? | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | wym: yes. come in on release day some time. | 16:52 |
| wym | oh ,got it | 16:53 |
| wym | my english is just so so | 16:53 |
| sipior | Dr_Willis: the idea is that the computational power needed to invert the hash dwarfs the power needed to perform a forward attack. | 16:53 |
| ichigo-gaiden | yo | 16:54 |
| rahul_ | @Dr_Willis Doc.. one more Q.. Can i install KDE on 11.04 | 16:54 |
| rahul_ | is it stable..? | 16:54 |
| wym | maybe | 16:54 |
| === derp is now known as derp|gone | ||
| tsimpson | Dr_Willis: once hashed, it's never de/unhashed, when you type your password it too is hashed and then that's compared (simple string comparison) to the hashed password in /etc/shadow | 16:55 |
| tsimpson | rahul_: yes, install kubuntu-desktop | 16:55 |
| ichigo-gaiden | no is not stable | 16:56 |

| sipior | pitthappens: could you pastebin the result of "diff -u /boot/config-2.6.35-25-server /boot/config-2.6.35-22-server"? | 17:11 |
| maco | m477: or use sftp user@host then once connected, "get file" | 17:11 |
| Pici | georgie: No, one a minute. | 17:11 |
| ironhalik | guys - anyone maybe knows where is located the default GDM background image? | 17:11 |
| Pici | georgie: Think of it like: each minute it checks to see whether the time will match against a record in the crontab, if it does, then run the command. | 17:11 |
| bluebear | how is unity ?? nebody in favour of it ? | 17:11 |
| pontino | georgie i think if u need a command every second u can build a service/daemon | 17:11 |
| m477 | maco: but will it work if i connect by ssh and then again do ssh connection | 17:12 |
| Pici | georgie: I believe there are some alternative cron-like scheduling systems that offer more precise timing, but I don't know any off the top of my head. | 17:12 |
| pitthappens | sipior: diff: /boot/config-2.6.35-25-server: No such file or directory | 17:12 |
| maco | m477: i dont think there is any fetching on an ssh connection itself, but scp uses ssh to do its work | 17:12 |
| maco | m477: so your ssh credentials work with scp | 17:13 |
| nithin935 | an1gma: yes it will | 17:13 |
| sipior | pitthappens: i may have the suffix wrong. supply the two kernel config files found in /boot as arguments to diff. this should be run on the ubuntu you're running in the VM, by the way. | 17:13 |

| wolf__ | jpds thank you where do i look for that | 17:15 |
| jpds | wolf__: Type it into a terminal. | 17:15 |

| twotenam | "libc6-amd64_2.13-0ubuntu13_i386.deb - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu Main" is that exactly what you're putting in your sources file? | 17:22 |
| pitthappens | sipior: booting into older kernel and running sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade | 17:22 |
| twotenam | it needs to just be "libc6-amd64_2.13-0ubuntu13_i386.deb" because "ubuntu 11.04" and "ubuntu main" aren't part of that file name, probably part of something else. | 17:23 |
| sipior | pitthappens: you might try "dist-upgrade" instead; up to you. | 17:23 |
| newubuntist | twotenam : i put the link in my sourceslist file | 17:23 |
| sipior | pitthappens: double-check the package removed list, and make sure the good kernel is not being removed, though :-) | 17:24 |
| newubuntist | twotenam: but in the source we are supposed to put the links? not the names of the librairies | 17:24 |
| pitthappens | sipior: i really don't want to upgrade to 11.04, i'm taking a stand against their changing the desktop version | 17:24 |
| tommis | how i find out my routers ip adress in ubuntu? | 17:24 |
| sipior | pitthappens: that's not what dist-upgrade does. | 17:24 |
| pitthappens | sipior: what does it do then? | 17:24 |
| sipior | pitthappens: have a look in the apt-get man page, if you're curious. for the current situation, it makes little difference, i suppose. | 17:25 |
| twotenam | newubuntists: i'm not sure about what sources.list is doing, but i know that if you're downloading a package from somewhere else besides your own computer, you need an absolute file name like "http://somelinuxplace.com/files/libc6-amd64_2.13-0ubuntu13_i386.deb" | 17:25 |
| twotenam | an 'absolute link" | 17:25 |
| mithran | hi all i just installed kde on ubuntu server, how do i make it start the gui on a reboot? | 17:26 |
| newubuntist | <twotenam>: in this sources.list file we find links this is why i don't knwo wht to put , coz when i added the corresponding mirror it didn't work | 17:27 |
| mithran | i looked for the /etc/inittab, but could not find it | 17:27 |
| BluesKaj | mithran, install kubuntu-desktop | 17:27 |
| mithran | i installed kde-minimal and xserver-xorg-core | 17:27 |
| mithran | BluesKaj, then xinit, and startx launches the gui | 17:28 |
| BluesKaj | you need the desktop | 17:28 |
| angheloko | mithran, install a login manager or create script to startx via cron (@reboot) or initd | 17:28 |
| usr13 | !upstart | mithran | 17:28 |
| ubottu | mithran: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 17:28 |
| ubun | is there a way to uninstall USB Universal Installer from my usb device | 17:28 |
| mithran | actually the whole point of installing the server was to try and install the webmin and then the desktop, now im going to reformat the disk | 17:28 |
| BluesKaj | webmin is dangerous | 17:29 |
| usr13 | mithran: (Ubuntu no longer uses /etc/inittab because of upstart ) | 17:29 |
| davis | hmm. i installed chrome using ubuntu software center and I installed the oracle JRE via web. Did the sudo install of the binary and java is installed. How do I complete the install by integrating chrome with the jre? | 17:29 |
| mithran | BluesKaj, it was kind of nice, didnt know it had that much of functionlaity | 17:29 |
| twotenam | newubuntist: i assume that links are what you need. just based on what you typed in for the initial problem, that wasn't the right kind of link. not really sure from here. | 17:29 |
| mithran | usr13, thanks a lot, looking into it now | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | I still kubuntu-desktop is the best way to go | 17:29 |

| angheloko | but for a server why do you need a de? wouldn't a wm like opebox be enough, mithran | 17:30 |
| BluesKaj | mithran, why you want kde don't you ...I don't see the point otherwise , it's only abit larger. you always remove plasma if you want | 17:31 |
| BluesKaj | can | 17:31 |
| silence-_- | hello everyone | 17:31 |
| skinnyfingers | Hi silence. | 17:31 |
| newubuntist | <twotenam> here's the link http://pkgs.org/package/libc6-amd64 , and i wanted to download the package corresponding to ubuntu .11.04 but it didn't work | 17:32 |
| wolf__ | jpds_ i dont think i know what a server is .... i went to software apps and tried to dn load but no go ... i think my lack of exprerience with computers leaves me handcaped....cause im not sure what im doing | 17:32 |
| pitthappens | sipior: just type sudo dist-upgrade? | 17:32 |
| sipior | pitthappens: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 17:32 |
| ShadesEdge | Do the server CD installs only the server kernel? | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadesEdge: i think so. you could install others later if you wanted | 17:32 |
| pitthappens | sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/610693/ | 17:33 |
| BluesKaj | I used ubuntu server for a while but decided that full desktop install would serve my needs better , since I spend so much time on it now | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | im not even sure whats differnt in a server kernel now a days | 17:33 |
| silence-_- | does anyone know if you can move the close/minimize/maximize to the right hand side in ubuntu v11? | 17:33 |
| Akuma | hello I just updated my system and I get the following message when trying to start chromium browser: Settings schema 'org.gnome.system.proxy' is not installed | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | !controls | silence-_- | 17:33 |
| ubottu | silence-_-: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | 17:33 |
| Akuma | chromium was working fine before I did the update | 17:33 |
| twotenam | newubuntist: so in your sources.list file, you should have put as an entry "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/libc6-amd64_2.13-0ubuntu13_i386.deb" | 17:33 |
| ShadesEdge | Dr_Willis: So would it be a good idea to install the server Ubuntu and then install the normal generic kernel? | 17:34 |
| pitthappens | silence-_-: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/13535/move-window-buttons-back-to-the-right-in-ubuntu-10.04/ | 17:34 |
| twotenam | newubuntist: have you tried that? if not, try it. | 17:34 |
| pitthappens | silence-_-: it works for 11.04 too | 17:34 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadesEdge: why does it matter? | 17:34 |
| BluesKaj | Akuma, open chromium , type about:plugins in the addressbar , enable flash etc | 17:34 |
| silence-_- | thanks for the fast responses ^^ | 17:34 |
| sipior | pitthappens: that's...bizarre. you've just booted into the old kernel, and /var is read-only? | 17:34 |
| pitthappens | apparently | 17:34 |
| newubuntist | <twotenam> no ididn't try the same link tht u put, i tried an other one, let me try it and get back to you | 17:35 |
| john__ | ays I need a new flash version and downloads a file with extension .apt ubuntu asks what package is to open this | 17:35 |
| sipior | pitthappens: i would check dmesg to see if a problem was reported that got the filesystem remounted read-only. | 17:35 |
| ShadesEdge | Dr_Willis: I want a plain Ubuntu without having to download everything by the CD. I want something that is in a way the Minimal CD but that you don't need to download lots of thing. | 17:35 |
| Akuma | BluesKaj: I cannot start chromium... | 17:35 |
| KM0201 | john__: what version of flash do you have now/ | 17:35 |
| twotenam | what are these wierd user names joining? | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadesEdge: you could try lubuntu. its a light-ubuntu variant with the lxde desktop. its veyr useable by default. | 17:35 |
| john__ | insta;ll says 10 | 17:36 |
| KM0201 | john__: 10 what?.. there's like 10 different 10 versions.. what are you trying to do, get the beta version? | 17:36 |
| ShadesEdge | Dr_Willis: I want a plain Ubuntu, that means no program like GIMP preinstalled. | 17:36 |
| nithin935 | @john_get it from the adobe site, a deb | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadesEdge: gimp is not preinstalled any more... | 17:36 |
| angheloko | ShadesEdge, how about the server install, just select Minimal Install for the mode (F4 in the install screen) | 17:36 |
| ShadesEdge | Dr_Willis: It was an example... | 17:36 |
| ShadesEdge | angheloko: Thanks :) | 17:37 |
| 16SAAGH3E | no windows borders help please http://imagebin.org/154237 | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadesEdge: if you want a useable X desktop. then Lubuntu is the way to go. lightest, with most apps people need. | 17:37 |
| john__ | when in facebook I get told need new verrsion .apt file | 17:37 |
| 16SAAGH3E | please help me out | 17:37 |

| ShadesEdge | Not a Ubuntu with alot of things installed | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadesEdge: there used to be a openbox-ubuntu variant ages ago. | 17:37 |
| biffbaxter | there are several ubuntu remasters with less overhead | 17:37 |
| pitthappens | sipior: i was trying to avoid that | 17:37 |
| 16SAAGH3E | no windows borders ???? | 17:37 |

| angheloko | ShadesEdge, i have the same setup - openbox on a min install | 17:37 |
| nithin935 | @john- got o adobes site and download a deb file for th flash installer | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadesEdge: i forget its name.. | 17:37 |
| sipior | pitthappens: last resort, but i certainly understand. | 17:37 |

| rizzeh | biffbaxter: even better | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | unsupported by us of course. | 17:38 |
| biffbaxter | ha :) | 17:38 |
| ShadesEdge | rizzeh: ... I think the server minimal install is what I want | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ShadesEdge: then you will be installing all the desktop stuff by hand.. good luck. | 17:38 |
| biffbaxter | you can use the mini iso, but you have to download a lot | 17:38 |
| biffbaxter | lubuntu works | 17:38 |

| Dr_Willis | biffbaxter: yep. Lubuntu works very well even. its not offically supported yet i guess. but its very very useable | 17:39 |

| nit-wit | in compiz | 17:40 |
| pitthappens | sipior: i had apache2 running the default webserver and i added a virtual host so i could redirect to ssl | 17:40 |
| 16SAAGH3E | nit-wit, yep i clicked it already but no effect i have restarted also | 17:40 |
| pitthappens | sipior: but now i want to do name based virtual hostong on it | 17:40 |
| biffbaxter | lubuntu 11.10 will be the first, but Shuttleworth announced May 11 | 17:41 |
| nit-wit | 16SAAGH3E, have you run compiz --replace to restart it | 17:41 |
| angheloko | pitthappens, create a conf file in /etc/apache/sites-available | 17:41 |
| davis | i am kind of lost with this java and chrome install. | 17:41 |
| sipior | pitthappens: might be useful to you: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/01/09/setting-up-name-based-virtual-hosting/ | 17:41 |

| mithran | ShadesEdge, , Ubuntu minimal CD is not too light once you get past the fact that its only command line... | 17:55 |
| nit-wit | ShadesEdge, if you want arch with open box archbang is very light. | 17:56 |
| ShadesEdge | mithran: With openbox :) | 17:56 |

| Abhijit | how to get 'only' a window manager and not any DE in my ubuntu? what will happen then? will i get super speed and performance? how to do it? | 18:01 |
| Abhijit | help? | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | gabriel_, you gave to remove the recommended driver or disable it in the additional drivers , then if you want to take a chance on the nvidia .run driver , in the terminal ./nameofdriver.run | 18:01 |
| Abhijit | amit, open terminal | 18:01 |
| modris | lubuntu.net ubuntu edition for low and old pc | 18:02 |
| Assid | anyone else wanna check it | 18:02 |
| Abhijit | amit, cd to the directory where that .sh program file is. then do chmod +x ./filename.sh and then do ./filename.sh | 18:02 |
| sipior | Abhijit: unless your machine is currently resource-starved, you're unlikely to notice a great deal of difference in performance. | 18:02 |
| === Nisstyre is now known as Ql | ||
| Assid | bug!!!! | 18:02 |
| Abhijit | sipior, currently gnome is hogging the resources | 18:03 |
| sipior | Abhijit: and how have you determined that? | 18:03 |
| gabriel_ | remove | 18:03 |
| Abhijit | sipior, like firefox and basket needs a 5-6 seconds to open | 18:03 |
| Abhijit | sipior, many aps are not real time responsive | 18:03 |
| amit | abhijit can u tell the step more broadly | 18:03 |
| operhiem1 | I've upgraded to Natty, and I'm having a bizarre issue where the mouse cursor gets stuck in the lower right of the screen. | 18:04 |
| Abhijit | amit, open the terminal | 18:04 |
| UtakataSama | updated to natty, eclipse does not have scrollbars | 18:04 |
| operhiem1 | The same thing doesn't happen in Windows, so as far as I can tell it's not hardware-related. | 18:04 |
| newubuntist | twotenam : still there? | 18:04 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: are you sure? you know that scrollbars look different in natty right? | 18:04 |
| operhiem1 | UtakataSama: Not even the orange ones? | 18:04 |
| operhiem1 | They're not visible until you drag them. | 18:05 |
| sipior | Abhijit: the question is how you have determined that gnome is at fault. if the problem lies elsewhere, you will go through the trouble to install and configure a new window manager for no gain whatever. | 18:05 |
| operhiem1 | Or rather until you mouse over them sorry. | 18:05 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: should be a little orange sliver; you hover over it and the controls appear | 18:05 |
| Abhijit | sipior, okay | 18:05 |
| gabriel_ | it also tells me that to install nvidia driver i need to disable noveau drivers, how I do that? | 18:05 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: it's possible they don't work right though, because Eclipse is Java and Java is silly | 18:05 |
| Abhijit | amit, ?? | 18:05 |
| thegladiator | hi friends does Ubuntu have gnome 3 | 18:06 |
| thegladiator | is unity just gnome 3 modified version | 18:06 |
| ShadesEdge | My Ubuntu install with the Minimal CD doesn't boots, it had the Ubuntu 11.04 with the strange thing and then it is just doing that sign over and over... _ | 18:06 |
| tensorpudding | no | 18:06 |
| nit-wit | no | 18:06 |
| Abhijit | thegladiator, no to second question | 18:06 |
| tensorpudding | and no | 18:06 |
| tensorpudding | thegladiator: though both will be yes soon | 18:06 |
| silence-_- | smashing, I had to research how to enable the "run application" command, but now my menu bar looks how I want it | 18:06 |
| angheloko | ShadesEdge, alt+f1 | 18:06 |
| tensorpudding | thegladiator: as in, unity will migrate to gnome 3 in the backend, and gnome 3 will be available as an option eventually | 18:07 |
| ShadesEdge | thanks | 18:07 |
| davis | hello, i am still trying to get java plugins to work with chromium. any idea how to do this? | 18:07 |
| newubuntist | any body can help | 18:07 |
| thegladiator | So currently gnome 3 is not available to us narwahl users | 18:07 |
| tensorpudding | thegladiator: yes | 18:07 |
| UtakataSama | tensorpudding they said that swt used some sort of adjustments on gtk | 18:07 |
| tensorpudding | thegladiator: there is a PPA, but it probably will break everything if you use it (it happened to me when i tried) | 18:08 |
| UtakataSama | tensorpudding and hence now that natty uses Unity, everything BREAKS! | 18:08 |
| thegladiator | acutally I have had daily hanging with 11.04 | 18:08 |
| ShadesEdge | Ubuntu <3 | 18:08 |
| thegladiator | was not the case when I used 10.10 | 18:08 |
| haffi | I just upgraded my Ubuntu server from 10.10 to 11.04 and now I don't get any grub menu on boot, just a command line grub interface | 18:08 |
| operhiem1 | haffi: grub> or grub rescue> ? | 18:08 |
| haffi | and I can't get it to boot to run the update-grub command | 18:08 |
| thegladiator | My comp with 11.04 is less stable than 10.10 for some reason , perhaps its some bug somewhere | 18:08 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: do you see scrollbars in libre office? | 18:08 |
| Lone_Wolf | Hi folks ;) I wonder if there is a downoad history kept in thunderbird, and if yes, wher can I find it ? | 18:08 |
| haffi | grub> | 18:08 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: havent observed | 18:09 |
| sec_goat | Hello I am trying to set up Subversion on my ubuntu 10.04 with Web_Dav access, I have gone through the steps in help.ubuntu.com/subversion and when I try to access it from the command line it tells me "svn: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem" any ideas? | 18:09 |
| nit-wit | I have had gnon=me 3 on any install you have to know how to set it up, personally I don'y like it so I don't use it | 18:09 |
| operhiem1 | haffi: You should be able to boot to a Live CD/USB to run update-grub? | 18:09 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: but why were they designing this new scrollbar, its silly because no one uses that window area occupied by scrollbar | 18:09 |
| tensorpudding | thegladiator: there are some bugs in 11.04, for sure, they're getting fixed though | 18:09 |
| misaq | hey | 18:09 |
| thegladiator | right , 10.10 was much stable | 18:09 |
| misaq | can anyone help me with JADE technology? | 18:10 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: probably for aesthetic reasons, also OSX Lion is going to have similar scrollbars | 18:10 |
| haffi | operhieml: I hope so. I tried it with a 10.10 livecd but it didn't work. I'm downloading 11.04 now (it takes time!) and I hope that will work | 18:10 |
| Logan_ | Lone_Wolf: Which version of Thunderbird do you have? | 18:10 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: No i think it wasfor increasing the every more costly window space. | 18:10 |
| Abhijit | amit, are you following me? | 18:10 |
| operhiem1 | haffi: Did you chroot into the system? I wonder if that would be the issue? | 18:10 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: The problem is, I dont know where to put this, it seems that SWT wasnt totally platform independent | 18:11 |
| nit-wit | haffi, is this what you see on booting grub> | 18:11 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: or then was it unity which did something horrible w.r.t contract | 18:11 |
| Lone_Wolf | Logan_, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9.2.18pre) Gecko/20110511 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Namoroka/3.6.18pre | 18:11 |
| misaq | does anyone know about JADE? | 18:11 |
| haffi | yes, grub> | 18:11 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: unity did some unexpected things which swt doesn't support | 18:11 |
| Lone_Wolf | does that answer your questio ? Logan_ ? | 18:12 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: this is the reason why the menubar appears in the wrong place in libreoffice, for example | 18:12 |
| Logan_ | Lone_Wolf: No, that's the version of Firefox. Which version of Thunderbird are you using? | 18:12 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: also costly on 3d system, resulting into rapid heat generation on a laptop for example. | 18:12 |
| wildc4rd | evenin all | 18:12 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: unity2d is even more buggy | 18:12 |
| Lone_Wolf | Logan_, I'm so sorry, I meant firefox :( | 18:12 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: i don't know what you mean, i have no experiences of performance decreasing using unity | 18:13 |
| nit-wit | haffi, tab complete nics so we know who your talking to. run this script and paste bin the text from the generated file. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 18:13 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: unity 2d isn't released yet | 18:13 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: will be available in oneiric | 18:13 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: it is, i believe i used it | 18:13 |
| ShadesEdge | Should I use Openbox or then IceWM on Ubuntu? | 18:13 |
| operhiem1 | My mouse cursor gets confined to a small space in the lower right when I move it there, and it's hard to move it back to the rest of the screen. Any ideas? | 18:13 |
| ShadesEdge | ??? | 18:13 |
| Logan_ | Lone_Wolf: Ah, yes. To access your download history, go to Tools --> Downloads. However, if you don't see your menubar, go to the "Firefox" menu, and then hit "Downloads." | 18:13 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: running a pre-release? | 18:13 |
| tensorpudding | UtakataSama: unity2d is not the same as ubuntu classic; don't get them confused | 18:13 |
| haffi | operhieml: will do! | 18:14 |
| Lone_Wolf | Logan_, thank you so much, I feared I had to go and look it up in /var | 18:14 |
| Logan_ | Lone_Wolf: You're welcome. | 18:14 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: i know its 2d version of unity which doesnt use 3d gfx | 18:14 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: meaning light on cpu / 3d card | 18:14 |
| UtakataSama | tensourpudding: that is why i installed it in the first palce | 18:14 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:15 |

| Vardan | hi all | 18:15 |
| Vardan | people is that possible to update gnome 2.32.0 to 2.32.1 in ubuntu 10.10? | 18:15 |
| UtakataSama | i seem to have it via apt | 18:15 |
| ShadesEdge | Logan_: Sorry, thanks at the same time :) | 18:15 |
| tensorpudding | Vardan: updating GNOME versions is probably a bad idea | 18:15 |
| Vardan | why? | 18:16 |
| tensorpudding | Vardan: the version that came with whatever Ubuntu release you use is the supported one | 18:16 |
| braiam | how i can get the clock on natty in 12h format, the option doesn't work, I use the LC=es.DO | 18:16 |
| Vardan | but I want to install application which need gnome 2.32.1 packages | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | braiam: you might need to log out/back in to get it to 'restart' the clock to show it in 12 hr format | 18:16 |
| tensorpudding | Vardan: what application is this? | 18:16 |
| moses | whats a good light music player for ubuntu? | 18:17 |

| braiam | Dr_Willis: ok, i'll try | 18:17 |
| tensorpudding | moses: rhythmbox? | 18:17 |
| tensorpudding | Vardan: why does it require that version of gnome? | 18:17 |

| Vardan | I think I need old version ov rhythm-e | 18:19 |
| tensorpudding | Vardan: ...yeah, that's a bad idea | 18:19 |
| tensorpudding | Vardan: the package is almost surely for ubuntu 11.04 | 18:19 |
| tensorpudding | Vardan: you probably need to download the source package | 18:20 |
| tensorpudding | Vardan: you can't mix-and-match binary package versions because it can cause breakage | 18:20 |
| Vardan | I see | 18:21 |
| tensorpudding | Vardan: is this not available from the software center? | 18:21 |

| tensorpudding | REK_007: there's no way it can be the hardware's fault, you don't need special drivers to get it to load the kernel | 18:41 |
| mdpatrick | REK_007: So they do, in fact, make 8.5 discs? Do I need a new burner, or just a new disc, likely? | 18:41 |
| tensorpudding | REK_007: how far does it go before it stops? | 18:41 |
| Pici | pythonirc101: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | I got some dual layer dvd's - not sure how big they are. :) | 18:41 |
| aguitel_ | pythonirc101, first update then only upgrade | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | they never seem to work very well. | 18:42 |
| davis | Dr_Willis: i enabled twinview. ill restart. | 18:42 |
| pythonirc101 | but upgrade will move me to 11.04 -- which has problems, isnt it? | 18:42 |
| REK_007 | tensorpudding: the screen from unetbootin comes .then i select default .. ubuntu load screen comes and then it turns black and becomes non responsive | 18:42 |
| Pici | !distupgrade | pythonirc101 and since you,re going to ask | 18:42 |
| ubottu | pythonirc101 and since you,re going to ask: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. | 18:42 |
| Pici | pythonirc101: no, see above | 18:42 |
| REK_007 | mdpatrick: depends on the DVD writer you have | 18:42 |
| tensorpudding | REK_007: okay, you'll need to edit the GRUB entry then | 18:42 |
| REK_007 | mdpatrick: most burners support dual layer ..so a new dual layer disc would do good | 18:43 |
| tensorpudding | REK_007: to make it verbose | 18:43 |
| REK_007 | tensorpudding: how to do that | 18:43 |
| tensorpudding | REK_007: when you get to the menu, hit e when you see the default, look for where it says "quiet", and remove the word quiet | 18:44 |
| REK_007 | ohk | 18:44 |
| REK_007 | but will i get the option on unetbootin? | 18:44 |
| tensorpudding | i don't know what you mean by "unetbootin" | 18:44 |
| REK_007 | of editing i mean | 18:44 |
| tensorpudding | unetbootin doesn't have a menu, that i know of, not in all the times i've used it | 18:44 |
| davis | Dr_Willis: that was the trick. many thanks. | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | unetbootin uses syslinux, you could edit the syslinux.cfg | 18:45 |
| REK_007 | tensorpudding: how will i edit it? | 18:45 |
| REK_007 | ohk Dr_Willis thanks | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | I tend to use the tools at pendrivelinux instead of unetbootin these days | 18:45 |
| Dr_Willis | Or set up a GRUB2 flash that boots the iso files. :) | 18:45 |
| REK_007 | Dr_Willis: well i dont know that much till now :) still in learning phase | 18:46 |
| Dr_Willis | So we got 'grub' 'grub2' 'lilo' and 'syslinux (and its relatives)' as differnt bootloaders. :) theres proberly a few more out there i cant recall. | 18:46 |
| === MetalHead is now known as nubi_ubuntu | ||
| davis | how do i add an app launcher to ubuntu desktop side panel? | 18:47 |
| tensorpudding | REK_007: does the menu you see look like http://ubuntuguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/grub2_brown1-478x360.png | 18:47 |
| Dr_Willis | davis: when its running, right click on the ico and pin it.. or drag/drop it there from themenus i think | 18:47 |
| tensorpudding | ugh, but wait, right, unetbootin, no grub, they use syslinux | 18:47 |
| REK_007 | tensorpudding: nope buddy | 18:47 |

| REK_007 | tensorpudding: it comes in a simple blue screen with the options nothing fancy | 18:48 |
| Dr_Willis | syslinux can some how a 'edit on the fly' option. ive seen that in some usb setups. | 18:48 |
| tensorpudding | i don't know anything about that, but that seems pretty weird | 18:48 |
| davis | many thanks. i think because i ahve the app out already, it just overlayed the existing icon. | 18:48 |
| davis | im guessing it will be there the next time i logon. | 18:48 |
| REK_007 | Dr_Willis: you are right i found that | 18:48 |
| REK_007 | tensorpudding: the newer version of unetbootin have changed the menu to that :) but it can be edited the way Dr_Willis just said | 18:49 |
| pythonirc101 | is there a file system in ubuntu that supports compression? | 18:49 |
| Dr_Willis | pythonirc101: chgeck out the 'fuse' tools (specialized filesystems) | 18:50 |
| Dr_Willis | !info fuse | 18:50 |
| ubottu | Package fuse does not exist in natty | 18:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. | 18:50 |
| Dr_Willis | !fuse | 18:50 |
| ubottu | FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 18:50 |
| pythonirc101 | thanks | 18:51 |
| Dr_Willis | compressed filesystmes are so -- 1980 :) heh | 18:51 |

| fullstop | Hi all. I have a Dell Vostro 3500 with a BCM43224 wlan, running 10.10 and using the "wl" module. | 18:57 |
| Onions | I have a question regarding empathy | 18:57 |
| ecinx | so far it's not as finger friendly as windows 7 :( | 18:57 |
| Onions | i cant send files, while using my jabber account | 18:58 |
| Onions | do i have to configure something? | 18:58 |
| varma | what is jabber? | 18:58 |
| fullstop | My ping times between this laptop and my wireless router (running OpenWrt with the ath9k driver) are pathetic -- 300 ms or so. Other clients have ping times <1ms. | 18:59 |
| Onions | varma, jabber, or xmpp its a free instant messaging protocol | 18:59 |
| fullstop | If I update to 11.04 and use the mac80211 driver for BCM43224, what are my chances of having better wlan performance? | 18:59 |
| trism | kasun: yes, if you don't have an initrd, you don't need to specify one | 18:59 |
| ecinx | How do I use pinch to zoom? | 19:00 |
| fullstop | For reference, in windows 7 with the same hardware, I get ~2ms ping times so it is likely a driver issue and nothing hardware related. | 19:00 |
| varma | i am unable to connect to the internet using boadband modem? | 19:00 |
| kasun | varma: great. it should be generally located in /boot, right? | 19:01 |
| trism | kasun: yes | 19:02 |
| Onions | so, does anibody uses jabber with empathy? | 19:02 |
| kasun | trism: thanks. | 19:02 |
| abys | Hi all, the search engine in the unity dash is not working anymore, I suspect zeitgeist, could someone help me to find what's wrong? :) | 19:03 |
| fullstop | Onions: I connect Empathy to google talk, which is xmpp. | 19:04 |
| Onions | fullstop, can you send files? | 19:04 |
| fullstop | Onions: I can't say that I've tried. | 19:04 |
| Onions | fullstop, i keep getting errors when I try to send files to my contacts; but it works if I use a "pure" jabber client | 19:05 |
| fullstop | Which "pure" jabber client? | 19:05 |
| Onions | fullstop, i am using psi | 19:05 |
| Onions | fullstop, most of my friends use either psi, or parlingo. And i can send files to them if i use psi, but not with empathy | 19:06 |
| fullstop | Onions: I actually really like Psi, but having the ubuntu integration is nice. | 19:06 |
| Onions | fullstop, yeah, thats why i want to use empathy :P | 19:06 |
| fullstop | Onions: Have you tried running a wireshark trace with both programs and comparing them? | 19:07 |
| Onions | fullstop, no i havent tried it. Empathy says that i have cancelled the file transfer | 19:07 |
| Onions | fullstop, i am on 10.04 by the way | 19:07 |
| new_kid1 | Hi , is is possible to install Ubunu on a VM ...then make an image from it & later install it on a PC ? | 19:07 |
| nimbiotics | Hello evry1. Using v11.04; on a compaq presario C700; I'm trying to use a Toshiba 32CV100U as a secondary monitor but this TV is supposed to give up to 1366x768 at 720p, and the highest resolution the monitor settings is giving me is 1360x768, and the image (which is very good) is out of proprtion. What can I do??? | 19:08 |
| Onions | new_kid1, i guess you could use remastersys | 19:08 |
| Onions | new_kid1, to update the iso, and then burn it to a cd | 19:08 |
| pontino | when I try to restart ssh service with `service ssh restart` it reply to me: "restart: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused".. Anyone know why? | 19:08 |
| new_kid1 | Onions, Remastersys is only available foe debian based distros ..I am planning to do thsi from rpm based one | 19:09 |

| Pici | new_kid1: If you're not asking about Ubuntu, then you shouldn't be asking in this channel. Many other distros have channels on this server, so its best to ask in one of them. | 19:12 |

| afroman | I can't read nor burn dvd dl, any help? | 19:13 |
| RevSpecies116 | new_kid1: you want to install Ubuntu using RPM's and not DEB's? | 19:13 |
| _ronin | hi problem with vpn in ubuntu 11.04 | 19:13 |
| new_kid1 | Pici, Hang on .... let me explain | 19:13 |
| _ronin | after connect to vpn when i ping 4.2.2.4 i've got "network is unreachable | 19:14 |
| fullstop | _ronin: netstat -nr | 19:14 |
| new_kid1 | A full class of students want to install Ubuntu ....I gave them the idea .....no thet are asking me to install it on their PCs ...like 40 of them ..... | 19:14 |
| new_kid1 | now** | 19:15 |
| fullstop | _ronin: if there is no route taking it where you 4.2.2.4 is, you can't get there. | 19:15 |
| RevSpecies116 | Oh, aptoncd ;) | 19:15 |
| braiam | I cant open my datetime preference, cause a timeout in dbus... anyone know the source of this? | 19:15 |
| RevSpecies116 | http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ | 19:15 |
| _ronin | fullstop: could you explain more? | 19:15 |
| Onions | new_kid1, haha, nice | 19:16 |
| fullstop | _ronin: it's also possible that you are sending all traffic through the VPN and your VPN will only accept traffic destined for your inside network. | 19:16 |
| new_kid1 | RevSpecies116, aptoncd comes later ...but what about installing Ubuntu 40 times ??? | 19:16 |
| new_kid1 | Onions, Yes ...laugh | 19:16 |
| fullstop | _ronin: what is the output of "netstat -nr" ? | 19:16 |
| new_kid1 | Onions, lol | 19:16 |
| fullstop | _ronin: pastebin it | 19:16 |
| _ronin | fullstop: where can i paste? | 19:16 |
| _ronin | fullstop: could you send link? | 19:17 |
| RevSpecies116 | Do these 40 machine 'boot from network' capabilities? | 19:17 |
| new_kid1 | RevSpecies116, You mean boot from NIC ??? | 19:17 |
| RevSpecies116 | yep | 19:17 |
| RevSpecies116 | Because if they do, I believe you can perform a network install | 19:18 |
| Onions | new_kid1, if they are similar, you could try using clonezilla | 19:18 |
| CyberGabber | ronin__: fullstop : I think ronin__ has to choose vpn-setting 'Use this connection only for resource on its network' to get proper local resolving ? | 19:18 |

| ___machine | hey, how do i get the divx plugin? | 19:19 |
| new_kid1 | RevSpecies116, I dont know they are all different kinds ...but I have decised to install the 32 bit version | 19:19 |
| fullstop | _ronin: It doesn't look like your VPN is active based on the output. | 19:19 |
| fullstop | CyberGabber: Correct | 19:19 |
| _ronin | fullstop: how can i active that? | 19:19 |
| jags | hey, I'm confused, I just booted my 11.04 notebook and all I see is a black background and a mouse. On vty1 I ran top and found that gnome-session and gnome-settings-daemon are running @ 99% of cpu, any ideas? | 19:19 |
| fullstop | _ronin: connect to your vpn like you did before and then get the netstat -nr output | 19:19 |
| new_kid1 | Onions, Okay I guess I will google clonezilla then ? | 19:20 |
| fullstop | _ronin: I would expect to see a tun0 or tap0 interface with routes set to direct traffic through those interfaces | 19:20 |
| tripelb | rhythmbox cant find "windows media audio decoder". I just plugged in sansa fuze with rockbox. How would I get this "decoder". I thought it came with all the medibuntu stuff. | 19:20 |
| _ronin | fullstop: i got The VPN Connection faild to start | 19:20 |
| fullstop | _ronin: Okay, that's an entirely different problem than your initial question. | 19:21 |
| fullstop | _ronin: you'd have to talk to the person running the other end of the VPN and figure out where your settings are mismatched. | 19:21 |
| Onions | new_kid1, you can get it with a bunch of other stuff by searhing for parted magic | 19:21 |
| RevSpecies116 | new_kid1: I think if the machines are able to boot from their NIC cards, you should be able to perform an mass installation | 19:21 |

| new_kid1 | RevSpecies116, But they are not connected to a same network segment | 19:22 |
| _ronin | fullstop: i try but all of them are windows guy unlikely!! | 19:22 |

| trism | kasun: the search command may not actually be necessary for your custom entry, I would skip it and only add it later if it doesn't work (I haven't used a separate boot in a while, so my set root and search lines specify the same partition, not really sure what the purpose of including the search is) | 19:35 |
| Travis-42_ | MonkeyDust, what about retyping the current directory I'm in? it would be nice if I didn't have to either retype it or copy and paste it when I've browsed to something like /var/www/app34/log/apache/ ? | 19:37 |

| wolf252 | Anyone familiar with xinerama? With it enabled I can only login in classic or safe. | 19:45 |

| Laberkopf | anyone from czech here? | 19:47 |
| bullgard4 | minashokry: Multimedia keys are differently implemented on different computer types. So your question is hardware-dependent. There are certain hardware types with similar implementions though. I think you will need to state your computer type. | 19:48 |
| dcorking | Laberkopf, czech is red hat country (grin) | 19:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Arachon: you can only change wallpaper and login box theme. I can get you a link | 19:48 |

| Arachon | ShadesEdge: But GDM is themeable, isn't it? | 19:57 |
| bullgard4 | Just use apt-get install as you have been used to. After Ubuntu 11.04 has been installed, just before keying in your password, you will find a menu in the lower row of your desktop screen. There please select "ubuntu Classic". | 19:57 |

| Jordan_U | amit: What are you actually trying to install? | 20:31 |
| stefan_ | anyway to get nvidia driver working with ubuntu 11? | 20:31 |
| kish | pitthappens, you have to google those error messages in quotes. i don't know if you've tried that already but it's my only advice | 20:31 |
| tamarche | Good, when you want to execute a script, it must have permissions. | 20:32 |
| kfizz | Whenever I open "Sound Preferences" from the sound menu, a terminal opens up and a voice says "Welcome to Orca. Current desktop environment is classic gnome." and every time I close the terminal it just re-opens and says the same thing. Any ideas? | 20:32 |

| stefan_ | ActionParsnip, gt 425m | 20:32 |
| amit | tamarche what type of permission | 20:32 |
| pitthappens | kish: if that would have solved my problem i wouldn't be here, but thanks anyway | 20:32 |
| Jordan_U | amit: What are you actually trying to install? | 20:32 |

| tamarche | amit: well, changes permission to allow the file to execute | 20:33 |
| ActionParsnip | stefan_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 20:33 |
| Glycan | This is more linux that ubuntu, but what is a COM32R image? Google doesn't help at all. | 20:33 |
| bullgard4 | minashokry: I beloeve, if xev does show an output like that in http://paste.ubuntu.com/610755/ then on your computer the driver for these "multimedia" keys is not installed. | 20:33 |
| stefan_ | ActionParsnip, i installed the driver using the gui | 20:33 |
| amit | Jordan_U actually i amtrying to install j downloader | 20:33 |

| bullgard4 | tripelb: codecs for .wav files are commonplace. Usually Ubuntu installs them by default. If not, you may try to install the DEB program package gnome-codec-install. | 20:47 |
| JohnRandom | quick question: is there a special way how to configure a ssh server in ubuntu to bind remote portforwards to all interfaces instead of only loopback? "GatewayPorts yes" alone doesn't do the trick | 20:48 |

I checked gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/session/required_components and it says e16. Do you have any other idea? | 20:53 |
| silvano | salve | 20:53 |
| BlouBlou | bullgard4: my question is (and yes, I read that doc, but didn't find it); If, for example, firefox gets updated by a backport, will a natty-update be able to fix a problem with that version, or it won't ? | 20:53 |
| Guest77351 | Hi.I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 - All my programs and configs are installed - everything works superbly.MY QUESTION: How do I save all that on dvd or hdd when I install ubuntu next on a different partition,everything will be installed automaticly | 20:54 |

| Pici | ITkub: yes. | 21:04 |
| eric__ | ? Ubuntu 10.10 samba4 error | 21:04 |
| ShadesEdge | ITkub: Yes you can | 21:04 |
| ITkub | aren't we obliged to use the 64 systems? | 21:04 |
| rww | no | 21:04 |
| hrezaei | hi people! | 21:04 |
| rww | either should work fine | 21:04 |
| ShadesEdge | ITkub: We aren't | 21:04 |
| ITkub | oh thanks dear ALL | 21:04 |
| ShadesEdge | ITkub: Personally, I would just install the 64 bits version with more than 3 GB | 21:05 |
| ShadesEdge | And then, if really needed, make a 32-bit chroot | 21:05 |
| hrezaei | what is upgrade ubuntu (from10.10 to 11.04) process? how much download it needs? | 21:05 |
| BlouBlou | guys, a problem reported in launchpad (if that app is supported by canonical), will be solved in backports or in natty-updates? | 21:06 |
| DJones | hrezaei: It depends what you've got installed, a basic system is probably a 700mb download based on the install cd being 700mb | 21:06 |
| maco | BlouBlou: depends when and how it gets fixed | 21:06 |
| LjL | BlouBlou: that depends | 21:06 |
| vorlov | where in 11.04's gnome does one find the startup scripts? | 21:06 |
| ITkub | ShadesEdge : i had some troubles with glib , this is why i'll try to install the 32 may be it will work better | 21:06 |
| vorlov | i would like a terminal script to launch on startup when the gnome x interface loads | 21:06 |
| ShadesEdge | ITkub: How many RAM do you have? | 21:07 |
| BlouBlou | LjL: for example, unity problem with geforce fx series? | 21:07 |
| BlouBlou | both are supported | 21:07 |
| Dimitar_ | hello? | 21:07 |
| maco | BlouBlou: if its fixed in a new upstream release of teh software and we can pull out a little patch, then -updates. if pulling out a patch for it isnt possible, then the new upstream version can go in -backports | 21:07 |
| ITkub | 3 Go | 21:07 |
| HelloWorld321 | stupid question for the new Natty GUI: how do I get the Launchbar to collapse? Mine is stuck there and is blocking part of my spreadsheet | 21:07 |
| LjL | BlouBlou: which fx, my fx5200 isn't supported at all. but anyway for supported cards i suspect, as long as the problems are not with the proprietary driver, high priority will be given. just my own idea though | 21:07 |
| === Dimitar_ is now known as Dimitar | ||
| BlouBlou | LjL: 5500 fx | 21:08 |
| LjL | BlouBlou: still, if it doesn't end in -updates, it's unlikely that something as "core" as Unity will ever be in backports | 21:08 |
| mcl0vin | anyone here worked with ddrescue , can help me please | 21:08 |
| BlouBlou | LjL: oh, backports only include "daily" software, like for example... firefox, pidgin..., right? | 21:08 |
| ShadesEdge | ITkub: You can stay with 32 bits with less problem, and it will be better to have a 32 bit OS | 21:08 |
| hrezaei | DJones: in the update manager only there is 4 updates to download.22mb. so upgrade does not take much time. is it true? | 21:08 |
| ShadesEdge | What is the name of the Gnome theme already? | 21:09 |
| DJones | hrezaei: That sounds like its just a normal update rather than the upgrade to 11.04 | 21:09 |

| DJones | neo3: Libreoffice is a fork of open office, effectivelly the same software but the developers fell out with the owners of openofice & & started to redevelop it as Libre office with improvements & faster fixes | 21:21 |

| _genuser_ | hello ppl | 21:21 |
| neo3 | I understand, thanks | 21:21 |

| BluesKaj | joeoshawa, the sudo update-grub | 21:21 |
| joeoshawa | thanks | 21:22 |
| BluesKaj | then | 21:22 |
| jose | hola | 21:22 |
| RevSpecies116 | LOL, BlouBlou - Canonical has a vested interest in Ubuntu succeding, so until at least 14.04LTS I can see Ubuntu as being in safe hands | 21:23 |
| RevSpecies116 | But as soon as Canonical pulls in the reigns... | 21:23 |
| RevSpecies116 | Oracle on the other hand wanted to monetise their aquisition of Sun straight away | 21:23 |
| RevSpecies116 | in the process ticking of the OOS comunity | 21:23 |
| scuffy | Hi! | 21:24 |
| nit-wit | BlouBlou, have you figured out the boot | 21:24 |
| nit-wit | BlouBlou, in low graphics? | 21:24 |
| BlouBlou | nit-wit: I don't know how to do it from grub | 21:24 |
| BlouBlou | I'm sorry | 21:24 |
| iceroot | what is the common way to convert an ext4 volume into ext3? | 21:25 |
| iceroot | without formating | 21:25 |
| nit-wit | BlouBlou, do you now? | 21:25 |
| BlouBlou | nit-wit: No | 21:25 |
| Saw | hi guys. I'm trying to install ubuntu server, and a bit stuck at the partition scheme. After I set up everything I want and encrypt everything, trying to proceed on, i'm getting error no root file system is defined. After few tries, I think it has to do with the fact I encrypted most of my drives. Does the / mount point has to be non-encrypted? | 21:26 |
| nit-wit | BlouBlou, boot the recovery partition line and at the gui 4th box down is a safe boot . | 21:26 |
| scuffy | I am very distressed that I can not seem to figure out how change the passwd box to "no Echo." I do not like to see bullets coming up every time I have to type in my passwords | 21:26 |
| BlouBlou | nit-wit: I told you that I don't know | 21:27 |
| RevSpecies116 | scuffy: You jest | 21:27 |
| nit-wit | BlouBlou, you get a grub menu correct? | 21:27 |
| scuffy | Nope! | 21:27 |
| ubuntu555 | hello, I'd like to ask some advice: I have a plan to put my computer in a cupboard, which is 6 meters away from my desk. Should I buy extension cables for monitor, keyboard and mouse to do that or do I need somekind of box in the middle? | 21:27 |
| BlouBlou | nit-wit: Correct | 21:27 |
| MonkeyDust | about SSH, my remote pc's hostname is debian-server, but i cannot ssh to it, only to its ip-address, hints & tips pls? | 21:28 |
| iceroot | MonkeyDust: because you dont have a dns | 21:28 |
| BlouBlou | nit-wit: oh... maybe you confused me with joeoshawa | 21:28 |
| nit-wit | BlouBlou, choose the kernel that says recovery it is the second one, hit enter | 21:28 |
| iceroot | MonkeyDust: easiest way is to put the hostname and ip in your /etc/hosts | 21:28 |
| BlouBlou | nit-wit: joeoshawa was asking for it, not me :P | 21:28 |
| MonkeyDust | iceroot: in the client or in the server? | 21:28 |
| === shaneo2 is now known as shaneo | ||
| nit-wit | BlouBlou, sorry bro I am a nit-wit .;) | 21:29 |
| iceroot | MonkeyDust: doesnt matter where the dns is running | 21:29 |
| KerrMD | ubuntu555: Either way. Extention cables would be cheaper I think. That said, I would use a kvm switch just because I am that geeky. | 21:29 |
| iceroot | MonkeyDust: but how should your client know what ip adress belongs to debian-server? | 21:29 |
| BlouBlou | nit-wit: don't worry, I was thinking "about what is he talking about?" hehe :) | 21:29 |
| iceroot | MonkeyDust: that is the job of a dns-server | 21:29 |
| BlouBlou | what is he talking about* | 21:29 |
| === brianl is now known as trolling | ||
| nit-wit | joeoshawa, are you in good shape without me searching around to find out. | 21:30 |
| flaco | hi all.. I'm trying to upgrade from 10.04 but I'm getting this http://dpaste.com/544825/ any ideas? | 21:31 |
| ubuntu555 | I just googled - kvm switch looks a cool thing. Thanks, KerrMD. I think this is what i will use | 21:31 |
| KerrMD | ubuntu555: welcome | 21:31 |
| bobobobobobobob | I had 10 on my laptop and then I downloaded and installed new 11. I love it but the wireless wont work. Before i think I was using the broadcom STA....why woudl the driver stop working? | 21:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I22JsYfOGqc for Scuffy whom left the chat | 21:31 |
| RevSpecies116 | scuffy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I22JsYfOGqc | 21:33 |
| joeoshawa | BluesKaj, the problem with what you told me is that i cannot boot into ubuntu at all so i tried it from the grub boot menu but no go | 21:33 |
| nit-wit | bobobobobobobob, there seems to be a broadcom wireless problem with natty per the Ubuntu Forums post look there it may help. | 21:33 |
| lillem4n | My touchpad stops working after sleep. Is there a way to force-detect and make it working again? | 21:33 |
| nit-wit | *posts | 21:33 |
| bobobobobobobob | ah | 21:33 |
| bobobobobobobob | just odd that it worked in 10 and stopped...lol | 21:34 |
| lillem4n | It sucks to have to always reboot my laptop when I close the lid :S | 21:34 |
| nit-wit | bobobobobobobob, that is the cocensus I hear as well.;) | 21:34 |
| nit-wit | *consensus | 21:34 |
| ubuntuhater | I have a problem | 21:34 |
| RevSpecies116 | go ahead ubuntuhater | 21:34 |
| ubuntuhater | [note] this error is on a virtual machine | 21:35 |
| rkmoore | hi | 21:35 |
| ubuntuhater | Ubuntu 11.04 starts | 21:35 |
| nit-wit | lillem4n, you shouldn't you need the edit the lid part i gconf-editer then power | 21:35 |
| ubuntuhater | I casn log in | 21:35 |

| nit-wit | *in | 21:35 |
| rkmoore | anyone know which channel is good for asking python questions in? | 21:35 |
| nit-wit | lillem4n, would you like to know how to fix this? | 21:36 |
| bobobobobobobob | nit-wit: thanks, the other odd thing is that the wireless worked for the install | 21:36 |
| ubuntuhater | I can log into ubuntu 11.04 but after compiz fails and all i get is a cursor and a desktop background | 21:36 |
| lillem4n | nit-wit: Yes please! Great news :) | 21:36 |
| bobobobobobobob | cant I just use that? | 21:36 |
| nit-wit | bobobobobobobob, scarry | 21:36 |
| BluesKaj | joeoshawa, sorry i was mistaken about the answer i gave you , add "nomodeset" after quiet spalsh in /etc/default grub/ , then update grub | 21:36 |
| nit-wit | lilleman your in natty right | 21:37 |
| RevSpecies116 | ubuntuhater: Try Unity 2D | 21:37 |
| bobobobobobobob | i know, I installed on wireless and then after the restart had to switch to wired..... | 21:37 |
| lillem4n | nit-wit: yup | 21:37 |
| Ameth | Is there a way to connect to my computer remotely without loging in on the host computer? | 21:37 |
| lillem4n | Ameth: SSH? | 21:37 |
| scuffy | I'm still here. Trying to write down as i type. thanks! | 21:37 |
| nit-wit | lillem4n, the hit aft-f2 then tyop gconf-editor and open it | 21:38 |
| ubuntuhater | how do i set that? | 21:38 |
| lillem4n | nit-wit: yup :) | 21:38 |
| Ameth | Like vnc. With a gui. I cant connect with vino because it does not start without loging in. | 21:38 |
| lillem4n | Ameth: Ok... Then I dont know. But I'm interested if you find an answer. :) | 21:39 |
| nit-wit | lillem4n, go tp apps-gnome power manager the buttons | 21:39 |
| Ameth | I do have ssh installed though and it allows me to connect without login on the host | 21:39 |
| RevSpecies116 | OKies, ubuntuhater, have you set your virtualised OS to ask for a password before you log in | 21:39 |
| maco | Ameth: you can do "ssh -X" to get graphical apps forwarded through X | 21:39 |
| RevSpecies116 | Or does it just load directly to a desktop | 21:39 |
| ubuntuhater | yes | 21:39 |
| maco | Ameth: erm, through ssh | 21:40 |
| ubuntuhater | RevSpecies116, yes | 21:40 |
| lillem4n | nit-wit: yup? | 21:40 |
| Ameth | maco, I have that set up and it works great, but I am looking for some way to do full gui | 21:40 |
| RevSpecies116 | OKies, ubuntuhater, before you type in your password for the user you log in as, is there an option along the bottom of the screen that says Ubuntu Unity | 21:40 |
| RevSpecies116 | Or Classic Desktop? | 21:40 |
| ubuntuhater | RevSpecies116, Ubuntu Classic | 21:41 |
| Ameth | lillem4n, I will get back to you if I figure it out then. | 21:41 |
| nit-wit | lillem4n, change the lidsc and lid battery to do nothong by doble clicking to edit. then close go to your power gui and lok at the lid buttons should be a do nothing or nothing there. | 21:41 |
| lillem4n | Ameth: awesome :) | 21:41 |
| nit-wit | *nothing | 21:41 |
| Tatsujin | Youtube runs in slow motion on my Asus E35M1-I DELUXE AMD Fusion despite having installed the proprietary automatically on bootup the first time, I have googled but it seems this motherboard is too new so i don't see any help threads. | 21:41 |
| RevSpecies116 | ubuntuhater: When you click Ubuntu Classic [to change it] what are your other options? | 21:41 |
| Tatsujin | drivers+ | 21:41 |
| nit-wit | lid ac lid battery to nothing | 21:41 |
| lillem4n | nit-wit: Oh... but doesnt that make the computer not sleep when I close the lid? | 21:41 |
| BitMoose | I have ubuntu 10.4 and windows xp 2002 installed on my computer but i want to get rid of windows now... how can i do this? | 21:42 |
| ubuntuhater | RevSpecies116, It just crashed | 21:42 |
| nit-wit | lille it just adds the option of nothing to the list alraedy there. | 21:42 |
| RevSpecies116 | Crashed at the login screen? | 21:42 |
| lillem4n | Okies. *trying* :) | 21:42 |
| seanicus | can someone please help me with my sound? My laptop doesn't play sound through the speakers or external speakers but it does play sound through headphones | 21:42 |
| seanicus | it works perfectly well wen I book into windows though | 21:43 |
| ubuntuhater | [Kernel Error] Please restart your system. | 21:43 |
| nit-wit | lillem4n, adds nothing to the lid controls in power | 21:43 |
| tensorpudding | BitMoose: what exactly do you want? do you just want windows gone, or do you want to expand ubuntu to use the newly freed disk space? | 21:43 |
| RevSpecies116 | How many times have you tried to install Ubuntu in this virtual machine | 21:43 |
| RevSpecies116 | because if just the once, it may be a failed install | 21:43 |
| BitMoose | to get rid of windows and expand ubuntu | 21:43 |
| tensorpudding | BitMoose: either way, the way to remove it is to delete the partition that it inhabits | 21:43 |
| RevSpecies116 | If this is your second time to install with the same problem in the virtualisation, it could be the VM programme you are using | 21:44 |
| nit-wit | lillem4n, do you have your lid set to hibernate rather then sleep is that the problem. | 21:44 |
| BitMoose | how would i go about deleting the partition? | 21:44 |
| tensorpudding | BitMoose: you can't expand the ubuntu partition though, unless you're in a live environment, which means booting from an ubuntu cd | 21:44 |
| ubuntuhater | Once | 21:44 |
| BitMoose | ok | 21:44 |
| lillem4n | nit-wit: I think it was set to suspend before I changed to "Do nothing" | 21:44 |
| lillem4n | but | 21:44 |
| ubuntuhater | RevSpecies116, Once | 21:44 |
| lillem4n | *testing* :) | 21:44 |
| tensorpudding | BitMoose: there is a tool called gparted, which you can install from the software center (i believe it's available on the cd) | 21:44 |
| ubuntuhater | RevSpecies116, Im going to restart with my backup | 21:45 |
| RevSpecies116 | If it is simple enough for you to do, try another install on a fresh VM machine and see if that 'fixes' it | 21:45 |
| RevSpecies116 | As the simple thing could be a corrupt installation | 21:45 |
| adam2323s | hi, my machine sometimes hangs on plymouth, anyone knows what can cause this hangs? | 21:45 |
| BitMoose | thanks | 21:45 |
| multipass | would anyone recommend the rarlabs rar program? | 21:45 |
| ubuntuhater | RevSpecies116, Oh I am already done :) I'll try it | 21:45 |
| tensorpudding | BitMoose: using this tool, you can delete the partition, the one you want will be the ntfs one | 21:45 |
| adam2323s | or how to successfully get rid of plymouth | 21:45 |
| tensorpudding | multipass: do you need to create rar files? | 21:45 |
| lillem4n | nit-wit: Nope. Touchpad still dies when I suspend the computer | 21:46 |
| RevSpecies116 | IF it still does the same thing that's when the fun starts ;) | 21:46 |
| tensorpudding | multipass: if so, there isn't any other tools which can do it that i know of | 21:46 |
| multipass | yeah, can the archive manager do it? | 21:46 |
| lillem4n | I can close the lid now tho, but the battery will run out in no time if it isnt suspended | 21:46 |
| tensorpudding | multipass: i don't know if archive manager can interface with it | 21:46 |
| ubuntuhater | RevSpecies116, O_O it does still do it | 21:46 |
| adam2323s | my machine sometimes hangs on plymouth, anyone knows what can cause this hangs? | 21:46 |
| nit-wit | lillem4n, ah touchpad so it dies so you can restart with it? does the touchpad work after woken up? | 21:47 |
| RevSpecies116 | OKies, and when you try and change the selection from Ubuntu Classic, that's when it crashes? | 21:47 |
| SkrappJaw | Any Debian buffs in the house? I can't boot Nautilus as root. Gives me an error about Dbus Server and Daemon. | 21:47 |
| ubuntuhater | yes | 21:47 |
| ubuntuhater | oh check this out | 21:47 |
| isarl|work | Is this where I should ask for help upgrading Eclipse 3.5 to 3.6? I've followed the directions elsewhere but I think it's an issue with me using 10.04 instead of some other distro (apparently the instructions work fine on Windows Eclipse installs). | 21:47 |
| tensorpudding | SkrappJaw: presumably, you need to run dbus | 21:47 |
| scuffy | RevSpecies116- Got it Thankyou's a bunch! | 21:47 |
| lillem4n | nit-wit: Nope. Touchpad is always dead after woke up. If I plug in a USB mouse it works fine. But I have to reboot to get the touchpad working again :S | 21:47 |
| tensorpudding | SkrappJaw: running nautilus as root sounds like a poor plan | 21:47 |
| ubuntuhater | [3d acceleration active][128mb video memory] | 21:47 |
| RevSpecies116 | scuffy: No troubles :) | 21:48 |
| trism | multipass: sudo apt-get install rar; then you can right click a folder, compress... and choose .rar | 21:48 |
| RevSpecies116 | BUT, scuffy, that system may fail in 11.10, as Ubuntu migrates to GNOME3 and Unity proper | 21:48 |
| ubuntuhater | Running in recovery mode | 21:48 |
| adam2323s | anyone have issues with plymouth in 11.4 natty? | 21:48 |
| RevSpecies116 | The method used to change the chars in the box withs for GNOME2 | 21:48 |
| nit-wit | lillem4n, I have seen this problem posted on occasion at the Ubuntu Forums a search on google with the forum name and the problem may get you some more info as well. | 21:48 |
| SkrappJaw | tensorpudding: Nautilus makes it easier to get familiar with the directory structures. I'm only 6 months into Ubu and Debian. | 21:49 |
| RevSpecies116 | withs = works | 21:49 |
| m477 | how to get labview on ubuntu? ;/ | 21:49 |
| tensorpudding | SkrappJaw: are you invoking nautilus with gksu? | 21:49 |
| lillem4n | nit-wit: Yeah. I'm gonna dig :) Thanks a lot for the help so far :) | 21:49 |
| tensorpudding | SkrappJaw: this is the right way to do it, which works for me | 21:49 |
| RevSpecies116 | ubuntuhater: what's the VM software? VMWare, VirtualBox? | 21:49 |
| nit-wit | lillem4n, I wish I knew an answer I have mine turned off lol.;) | 21:49 |
| ubuntuhater | RevSpecies116, Failed to read x11 config file. Would do like to rebuild it? | 21:49 |
| SkrappJaw | I tried. Failed all the same. | 21:49 |
| tensorpudding | SkrappJaw: can you put a pastebin of the whole error/ | 21:50 |
| multipass | is there any zip/tar/rar program that can interface with nautilus so u can right click a folder and zip it? | 21:50 |
| tapple | what are usb disks called in /dev these days? | 21:50 |
| RevSpecies116 | ubuntuhater: you can try and rebuild it. You don't have any data to lose? it is a fresh instal? | 21:50 |
| ubuntuhater | yes | 21:50 |
| ubuntuhater | fresh | 21:50 |
| Rigorm0rtis | tapple, usually /dev/sdx just like regular drives. | 21:51 |
| trism | multipass: you already can, right click the folder, Compress..., choose .zip in the dropdown box | 21:51 |
| rumpe1 | multipass, usually zip/tar/gz works right ootb | 21:51 |
| tapple | ok. it's not in dev then. thanks | 21:51 |
| tensorpudding | tapple: disks in ubuntu appear as /dev/sdX, usually linked via UUID or label in /dev/disk/by-uuid, and mounted in /media | 21:51 |
| rumpe1 | multipass, for rar install unrar or unrar-nonfree | 21:51 |
| multipass | oh thanks trism | 21:51 |
| SkrappJaw | tensorpudding: No. Sorry. I'm away with my laptop. I don't have access to the pc with debian right now. | 21:52 |
| tensorpudding | tapple: udev does nice stuff to handle this | 21:52 |
| tensorpudding | SkrappJaw: wait, you're on debian? why are you asking here? | 21:52 |
| tensorpudding | SkrappJaw: there's a channel #debian where people using debian can get support (though in this case it probably makes no difference this is not true in general) | 21:52 |
| ubuntuhater | RevSpecies116, VirtualBox 4.0.8 | 21:52 |
| SkrappJaw | tensorpudding: ok. cool. Thanks a bunch. I'll ad that to my channels. | 21:53 |
| tensorpudding | tapple: basically, the usual way is that things get automatically mounted, you can figure out what device corresponds to a mounted volume by checking the output of 'mount' | 21:53 |
| ubuntuhater | albino | 21:54 |
| ubuntuhater | are you albino becuase i am | 21:54 |
| SkrappJaw | tensorpudding: I was asking cuz ubuntu is based on Debian. :P | 21:54 |
| RevSpecies116 | ubuntuhater: you doing this from inside Windows, Mac, or another Linux install? | 21:54 |
| tensorpudding | SkrappJaw: this is true but Ubuntu has some pretty big differences nowadays | 21:54 |
| RevSpecies116 | As you may need to install the VBox addons | 21:54 |
| Pete__ | Hello i have ubuntu 10.04 lts and wish to use 11.04 with out loosing all my progress is there i way that i can switch over and still have all my stuff? | 21:54 |
| Travis-42 | since moving to unity and 11.04, i've experienced sluggish performance of things like moving windows. I have plenty of ram and a fast nvidia card with the proprietary drivers installed. what might be responsible? | 21:54 |
| ubuntuhater | Windows using the DVD full distro iso file | 21:54 |
| RevSpecies116 | to enable proper (and not emulated) 3D acceloration | 21:54 |
| ubuntuhater | VBOX addons 4.0.6 | 21:55 |
| tensorpudding | Pete__: you can upgrade to 10.10, then to 11.04, but it's much faster to backup and reinstall | 21:55 |
| ubuntuhater | 4.0.8 is not yet available | 21:55 |
| ubuntuhater | VBox was released 05/15/2011 | 21:55 |
| Pete__ | ok so you can back it up though | 21:55 |
| SkrappJaw | tensorpudding: Ya. Especially with 11.04. Im moving to a different distro of Ubuntu. I'm digging lxde ubuntu. | 21:55 |
| SkrappJaw | Unity isnt my cup of tea. | 21:55 |
| tensorpudding | Pete__: oh, in *that* case, you'll probably not want to back up package selections | 21:56 |
| tapple | oh. that's the problem. nothing is even showing up in dmesg when I plug and unplug usb disks | 21:56 |
| tensorpudding | Pete__: which means installing apps by hand | 21:56 |
| tensorpudding | Pete__: and by installing apps by hand, I meant installing them through the software center one by one, as opposed to compiling them | 21:56 |
| beachbum_Bob | is handbrake the movie maker app for ubuntu ? | 21:56 |
| tensorpudding | Pete__: but in any case, you'll want to back up your home directory | 21:56 |
| Pete__ | ok what does every one think of 11.04 and is it best to stay at 10.04 0r 10.10 ???? | 21:57 |
| guntbert | !ot | Pete__ | 21:57 |
| ubottu | Pete__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 21:57 |
| ubuntuhater | damn damn damn | 21:57 |
| guntbert | ubuntuhater: what is the matter? | 21:57 |
| tensorpudding | i think 11.04 is great, and that people who aren't afraid of a couple bugs should upgrade | 21:57 |
| RevSpecies116 | ubuntuhater: If you followed the instructions from http://www.ubuntugeek.com/running-ubuntu-11-04-natty-unity-3d-on-virtualbox-4-x.html and still not working, it may be VBox error | 21:57 |

| seanicus | I can only hear sound otu of my headphones | 22:06 |
| _stefan | whenever i kill x server it immedieatly restarts that sucks because i can't install the nvidia driver | 22:07 |
| BluesKaj | !audio |seanicus | 22:08 |
| ubottu | seanicus: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 22:08 |
| seanicus | BluesKaj: I've done all that | 22:08 |
| seanicus | Also I had this problem for nearly a year | 22:08 |
| seanicus | So I'm pretty sure it's not the volume | 22:08 |
| Younder | Unity is still a bit quirky. If you use change option with scmm it often crashes the window manager. Thing to do is: Press <crrl>-<alt>-1 to open. a text termial. Log in. now write sudo service gdm stop, sudo service gdm start. log out. Then <crrl><alt>-7 to get back to gdm. Log in. | 22:08 |
| HelloWorld321 | In LibreCalc: How do I make a frame (or other container) that points to a named chart on another tab? | 22:09 |
| SeanInSeattle | Hey all. I'm really confused. I just tried installing gnome3 & gnome shell onto 11.04, but now gdm has issues and hangs at a blank screen (all black)... It won't even give me a choice as to what windows mgr to use, or who to log in as. Any suggestions? | 22:09 |
| BluesKaj | stefan3, don't kill the xserver , just drop to a tty , sudo service gdm stop , then install the driver anbd start gdm again | 22:09 |
| Erics2 | hello | 22:09 |
| lbod | is there another room to ask gedit questions? | 22:10 |
| SeanInSeattle | My machine is basically unusable, at this point. I could really use some assistance. | 22:10 |
| patyx7 | Pretty sure installing g3 onto unity was advised against. | 22:11 |
| patyx7 | :( | 22:11 |
| lbod | i just want the active window in gedit to sync with the file browser.. doesnt seem like something it shouldnt support | 22:11 |
| seanicus | BluesKaj: don't just make ubottu tell me things...are you able to help me or not? | 22:11 |
| SeanInSeattle | patyx7: Why's that? | 22:12 |
| SeanInSeattle | patyx7: what does it screw up? | 22:12 |
| guntbert | seanicus: mind your attitude please | 22:12 |
| usr13 | lbod: You might try re-phrasing your question. | 22:12 |
| adalgiso | seanics: chances are your answer is in the wiki/community docs | 22:12 |
| Younder | SeanInSeattle, try loggin into a text terminal <ctrl>-<alt>-1 or if you can't do that reboot and use grub to log ito a text terminal. Then remove gnome3 and gnome 3 shell | 22:12 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: then please direct me towards it, because I've had this problem for a full year | 22:12 |
| seanicus | and sitll havnet been able to solve it | 22:13 |
| aptest | SeanInSeattle: maybe you can go terminal put something in your .xinitrc file and try startx | 22:13 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: do you have any more information to add? | 22:13 |
| BluesKaj | !attitude |seanicus | 22:13 |
| ubottu | seanicus: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 22:13 |

| adalgiso | seanicus: yeah, "audio doesn't work" just isnt enough info to go on, can you add anything else to help us direct you? | 22:14 |
| Younder | SeanInSeattle, It is probably better to wait with gnome 3. There is a reason ubuntu doesn't install it pr default.. | 22:14 |

| seanicus | adalgiso: I said more than "audio doesn't work" Did you read up? | 22:14 |

| squonk | but my display is kinda tiny | 22:15 |
| SeanInSeattle | Younder: I'm trying "sudo apt-get remove gnome3" and that fails. What's the exact pkg name? | 22:16 |
| patyx7 | Did you use a ppa? | 22:16 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: is your sound card detected in your sound preferences? do you see an output for your speakers? | 22:16 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: I don't even know how to do that. | 22:17 |
| utnubu | 13 | 22:17 |
| seanicus | is it aplay -l? lspci? | 22:17 |
| utnubu | >> | 22:17 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: theres volume control options in your menus, should be under System in either Administration or Preferences | 22:17 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: its very possible that your speaker channel is jsut muted | 22:18 |
| guntbert | squonk: tiny? are you running it inside a virtual machine? | 22:18 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: i dont know the command line option for aplay, but if you have alsamixer installed you can check it with that | 22:18 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: I did alsamixer | 22:19 |
| seanicus | I put everything as high as it could go | 22:19 |

| seanicus | theres internal audi and usb audio under the hardware tab and for output theres the same...one is checked | 22:20 |
| sburwood1 | escott: Would the livecd of 10.10 work? | 22:20 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: do you have a usb sound device? | 22:21 |
| compdoc | sburwood1, I can tell you how I would do it, but it requires you have a spare hard drive thats equal to of larger than the original | 22:21 |
| compdoc | of=or | 22:21 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: I do but it's not plugged in right now | 22:21 |
| escott | sburwood1, sure, you can change partitions with it | 22:21 |
| adam61 | hi, i'm using these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TASCAM_US-122 to help me set up my tascam us122; it worked for ubuntu 11.04, but now i'm trying to set it up for Lubuntu, and it is stuck at step 6 because there is no usb folder in /proc/bus/. does anyone know how i could fix this? | 22:21 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: ok, then you should have just one device under Output | 22:21 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: Well I have two | 22:21 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: what are they? | 22:21 |
| === Uncle|Sam is now known as uncle|sam | ||
| seanicus | adalgiso: Oh my apologies...whenb I thought i unplugged my speakers i unplugged something else, sorry | 22:22 |

| === torgeir is now known as Fonzie2k | ||

| adalgiso | seanicus: you should havea dropdown for Connector, mine is set to analog output | 22:23 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: the other option is analog headphone | 22:23 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: dropdown? connector? Not seeing those | 22:23 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: what version of ubuntu are you using? they may have changed it in a newer version of the sound prefs | 22:24 |

| seanicus | If...If I tell you you're going to be mad >.> | 22:24 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: I'm using Mint | 22:25 |
| sburwood1 | thanks | 22:25 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: i shouldnt think theres a big difference, what version of ubuntu is your mint spin based on? | 22:25 |
| escott | adam61, see if it is /sys/bus/usb | 22:25 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: its gnome 2 right? | 22:25 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: 10.04 i believe | 22:26 |
| adam61 | escott, ok thanks i'll try that out. just a quick other question: is there a way do you know of accessing this channel from Lubuntu? it wasn't available when i checked | 22:28 |
| HelloWorld321 | LibreCalc: I get the idea that they don't (can't) save object names in .xls format, because MicroSuck didn't support that functionalilty | 22:28 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: well the version of my gnome panel is 2.30.2 | 22:28 |
| escott | adam61, i dont know why it wouldnt be available | 22:29 |
| guntbert | seanicus: noody is being "mad" here at you - but please be aware that the configuration of mint *is* different from ubuntu, that is why we don't support it here | 22:30 |
| adam61 | escott, that's ok i'll figure it out, then come back on here | 22:30 |
| guntbert | *nobody | 22:30 |
| seanicus | guntbert: I know...I Was just kidding | 22:30 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: adalgiso versuib 2.30.2, definitely | 22:31 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: only thing I can suggest is to try running through the sound troubleshooting procedure in the wiki to see if any of that helps | 22:31 |
| adalgiso | i can give you the exact page | 22:31 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: I've done that before | 22:31 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: can you tell me under what tab you saw that connector thing? | 22:31 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: output | 22:32 |
| alejandro | hi, im unable to run a software with Wine because it says that im missing L"C:\\windows\\system32\\osql.exe"... | 22:32 |

| Janusman | id | 22:32 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: actually nm, you're using mint so that wont really help | 22:32 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: I don't even know how to do that | 22:32 |
| guntbert | alejandro: please ask in #winehq | 22:32 |
| seanicus | WEll I can still do that with mint, anyway | 22:32 |
| adalgiso | seanicus: if you follow the guide, it tells you exactly what to do, so that makes me think you didn't really do the troubleshooting | 22:32 |
| seanicus | adalgiso: I did it a couple months ago, actually, unless i di danother one. | 22:33 |

| seanicus | DasEi: yep, I'm ther | 22:40 |
| DasEi | seanicus: is there a chip listed in the title of that gui ? | 22:40 |
| seanicus | DasEi: Chip: Intel G45 DEVCTG | 22:40 |
| squonk | I will say this... the new wubi.. found and config'd everything save the display | 22:41 |

| tapple | can linux read/write ntfs now? I'm surprised to see my disk listed as writable, since it's ntfs formatted | 22:41 |

| Azelphur | tapple: it's been able to for like a decade? | 22:41 |
| squonk | heh | 22:41 |
| seanicus | DasEi: ? But I dont have sound | 22:41 |
| Azelphur | old news is old o.o | 22:41 |
| DasEi | seanicus: above the two channels, volume and pcm, there are speaker icons, see them ? | 22:41 |
| escott | tapple, yes but it is using a fuse fs instead of the in kernel ntfs | 22:41 |
| tapple | well, last I checked (5 years ago), ntfs was a read-only filesystem | 22:42 |
| DasEi | seanicus: click them, they must be green | 22:42 |
| seanicus | DasEi: there are four channels... | 22:42 |
| Azelphur | tapple: googled it up, apparently ntfs-3g has been around since 2006 :) | 22:42 |
| * squonk goes back to reading whitepapers | 22:42 | |
| seanicus | or 8? | 22:42 |
| lallenlowe | tapple: 5 years is an age in the linux world | 22:42 |
| Azelphur | tapple: so maybe that adds up :) | 22:42 |
| tapple | yay | 22:42 |
| DasEi | seanicus: if the icons aren't green, channels are muted | 22:42 |
| seanicus | DasEi: DasEi there;'s 8 different bars | 22:43 |

| DasEi | seanicus: then open system>preferences>sound and play a little with the settings | 22:44 |
| hello_12345 | hey | 22:44 |
| DasEi | seanicus: what doesn't work ? | 22:44 |
| seanicus | DasEi: I just did that? | 22:44 |
| seanicus | I get swound out of my headphones, but no sound anywhere else | 22:44 |
| tapple | will have to play with it, see if it preserves file permissions | 22:45 |
| seanicus | I get other sound problems too that I havent even metnioned, but I dont even think they're important | 22:45 |
| seanicus | Like I cant play mpd and flash at the same time | 22:45 |
| seanicus | Bu tI thinkt hat's more of a problem with mpd really | 22:45 |
| DasEi | seanicus: what happens if you use vlc to play an audio file ? | 22:45 |
| guntbert | Jordan_U: sometimes using aptitude instead of apt-get (and vice versa) helps, try (with aptitude) update, safe-upgrade first before uninstallling anything | 22:45 |

| Airor | Hi. This is probably a silly question in that it is something I'm misunderstanding. I have a computer (A) at 10.100.11.0 that can talk to another computer through tun0 at 10.100.11.1 (B). B is also 192.168.0.10 on eth0. I have ipv4 forwarding turned on on B. I added a default gw route on A to go through tun0 to B's address. I can ping B from A, but not anything further. Any ideas? | 23:08 |
| escott | Kevin_Flynn, i think you want this (not sure what it is called in the classic menu for me its just printer) /usr/bin/python /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py | 23:09 |
| ExtractBeliefs | Air you need to forward IGMP | 23:09 |

| adam61 | escott, it worked perfectly for ubuntu 11.04; in dev/bus/usb/, it has two folders - 001 and 002. i was thinking 006 would be in 002, but 001 has 001 and 005 in it, and 002 has 001, 002, 004, 007. could this be the reason that it's not finding /dev/bus/usb/002/006? | 23:11 |
| escott | Airor, i think you need to enable NAT/masquerade on (A) | 23:11 |

| mirco_ac | Hi hi, after installing a luks based sys with alternate install the first few boot cycle's worked but now it doesn't boot any longer | 23:12 |
| escott | adam61, check the output of lsusb it tells you exactly where it is plugged in. it depends on which port you use, and what order you plug peripherals in | 23:12 |
| treva | .comnet.bg | 23:12 |
| mirco_ac | I'm reading ofrum post since hours but can't fint the right setting for grub.cfg | 23:12 |
| adam61 | escott, lsusb says it's 002/006, but when i check in file manager, there's no such file. 006 is in 001 (but not according to lsusb) | 23:13 |
| Airor | escott, i'm not using a firewall on A, so I was hoping that wasn't needed. | 23:13 |
| escott | Airor, something from the WAN comes in to (A) on the only globally valid ip, and needs to be translated in order to be sent through to (B). So stuff is going out, but it has no global return address. dns_masq is not hard to enable im sure it is in the ubuntu wiki | 23:13 |

| haffi | Hi, I upgraded Ubuntu server from 10.10 to 11.04 and now it won't boot, or even display the grub menu. It goes straight to a grub (grub>) command line interface where I can't even boot anything successfully | 23:38 |
| hase | glxgears turn very slowly but yea | 23:38 |
| cfedde | nate__: what's going wrong. | 23:38 |
| nate__ | i start it from a LiveCD, then it loads, then there is the background and mouse, a few seconds later my monitor goes blank | 23:39 |
| escott | hase, yes... it means you aren't using the MESA software glx | 23:39 |
| haffi | I ran the boot_information_script and got this output: http://pastebin.com/mfuNvv7r | 23:40 |
| haffi | But the filesystem actually is ext4 | 23:40 |
| Jordan_U | haffi: Are you using an old liveCD without ext4 support? | 23:41 |
| greppy | Macbook running ubuntu 10.04 LTS, booted up today with the webcam on, lsof is showing that it looks like nautilus is using it. any pointers? | 23:42 |
| shadaloo | hello, where can I select my encryption method in the gnome-keyring? | 23:42 |
| escott | hase, and don't worry about the spead of glxgears... its just a way to test if glx is supported in any fashion | 23:42 |
| shadaloo | I want to change plaintext | 23:42 |
| escott | shadaloo, what do you mean by change to plaintext? disable encryption | 23:43 |
| shadaloo | escott: I mean | 23:44 |
| shadaloo | currently my gnome-keyring is set to plaintext encryption | 23:44 |
| shadaloo | where can I change this preferences | 23:44 |
| nate__ | I'm a newb to ubuntu and I use the livecd to install, everything goes great. It loads with the ubuntu and the little dots, then there is the glowing background with the mouse. I move the mouse a little bitr, and then it stops. a while later, my monitor says no signal, but my computer is still on. Oh, I'm using Ubuntu 11.4 | 23:44 |
| haffi | Jordan_U: Actually yes. But just downloaded a newer version so I guess the info is more useful from there | 23:45 |
| escott | shadaloo, im still not understanding what you are saying. plaintext is plaintext it isn't encrypted. do you want to encrypt a file with your key? | 23:45 |
| nate__ | I'm a newb to ubuntu and I use the livecd to install, everything goes great. It loads with the ubuntu and the little dots, then there is the glowing background with the mouse. I move the mouse a little bitr, and then it stops. a while later, my monitor says no signal, but my computer is still on. Oh, I'm using Ubuntu 11.4 | 23:45 |
| shadaloo | A program is telling me this | 23:45 |
| nate__ | I'm a newb to ubuntu and I use the livecd to install, everything goes great. It loads with the ubuntu and the little dots, then there is the glowing background with the mouse.

| nate__ | please help | 23:46 |
| escott | shadaloo, what program and what is the exact message | 23:46 |
| shadaloo | You have gnome-keying installed but you are using plain text encryption to store your passwords. You can select the encryption method in the preferences dialog | 23:46 |
| shadaloo | It isn't running because my current keyring is set to plaintext | 23:46 |
| Corey | nate__: Boot from liveCD and see what the logs are showing. | 23:46 |
| blender | nate: try pressing F1 as soon as you see the ubuntu logo, it will start in text mode and give you more info on whats happening | 23:46 |
| shadaloo | where can I change the encryption | 23:47 |
| Nighthawk`` | using tightvncserver, how can i set it so when i connect i wont see the current applications as blocked ? | 23:47 |
| escott | shadaloo, well seahorse is the gui for gnome-keyring | 23:47 |
| shadaloo | escott: cool | 23:47 |
| nate__ | ok I'll check that | 23:47 |
| nate__ | I'll come back and post what I saw | 23:47 |
| compdoc | Nighthawk``, I dont use tightvncserver, but how are they blocked? | 23:47 |
| blender | cool | 23:48 |
| ExtractBeliefs | cool | 23:48 |
| gem_cat | has anyone run up against the 2wire router thing - I found a post that wep was broken and wpa works but so far that is not working either | 23:48 |
| escott | shadaloo, but it sounds more like that program is saying "i see you have gnome-keyring, and this program is capable of using gnome-keyring, but you need to enable it in THIS programs preferences, if you wan to use it" | 23:48 |
| blender | you can also download the ALTERNATE VERSION of ubuntu, it'll have a lot more control on the install since it'll be in text mode | 23:48 |
| Nighthawk`` | compdoc, i see an icon of blocked on the remote viewer but on the local i see them opened | 23:49 |
| ExtractBeliefs | should one use LVM? | 23:49 |
| shadaloo | escott: but the program does not run, normally it has an applet that starts | 23:49 |
| compdoc | Nighthawk``, you using the same username for the vnc logon? | 23:50 |
| BluesKaj | gem_cat, I have a 2wire with wpa2-psk working on a broadcom chip ..np here | 23:50 |
| ExtractBeliefs | what are the pros and cons of LVM ? | 23:50 |
| gem_cat | thanks BluesKaj | 23:50 |
| escott | ExtractBeliefs, if you want the features of it. for a laptop that has but one hard-drive i dont see the point. for a server where you may be adding drives in the future it makes good sense | 23:51 |
| BluesKaj | daughter's axer uses an atheros and it works as well, gem_cat | 23:51 |
| BluesKaj | err acer | 23:51 |
| ExtractBeliefs | is it slower ? | 23:52 |
| BluesKaj | !who |ExtractBeliefs | 23:52 |
| ubottu | ExtractBeliefs: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 23:52 |
| escott | ExtractBeliefs, the bigger complication is with booting and mounting. you wouldn't be able to mount from a non-LVM aware OS or use a non-LVM aware initrd | 23:53 |
| escott | ExtractBeliefs, if you have a drive that is 90% full of music, and plan to buy another drive an 6 months and want the two to look like a single seamless large drive LVM is for you | 23:53 |
| ExtractBeliefs | i was thinking of raid | 23:54 |
| chubber | what program can i use to remotely access my g/f's windows box ? | 23:55 |
| ExtractBeliefs | you need lcm to use raid ? | 23:55 |
| ExtractBeliefs | and isnt it better to manage prtitions ? | 23:55 |
| escott | ExtractBeliefs, mdadm doesn't require LVM although it is often used in conjunction with it. but you can have an linux md partition and not an LVM partition | 23:56 |
| ExtractBeliefs | and isnt it better for encription ? | 23:56 |
| escott | chubber, gnome-RDP or install a VNC server on her machine | 23:57 |
| ExtractBeliefs | does it work with btrfs? | 23:57 |
| hase | sorry i was afk, do i need to install mesa glx now to fix this? | 23:57 |
| haffi | Jordan_U: I've got a new result file in http://pastebin.com/VtuQk6vV | 23:57 |
| escott | ExtractBeliefs, btrfs is designed to include all the features of LVM/mdadm in the filesystem itself, so you would not use those two with btrfs | 23:58 |
| schnuffle | chubber: gnome-rdp | 23:58 |
| ExtractBeliefs | thsanks i didnt knew that | 23:58 |
| major | how can i know the origin of a ubuntu package? if it comes from debian or if it was directly packaged from upstream? | 23:58 |
| ExtractBeliefs | so wbhats is better btrfs or lvm ? | 23:58 |
| escott | ExtractBeliefs, thats like comparing a truck to a tire. im not sure how to answer it | 23:59 |
| schnuffle | ExtractBeliefs: there is no better, lvm is stable btrfs is not stable yet | 23:59 |
| bazhang | ExtractBeliefs, thats hardly an ubuntu support question | 23:59 |
